As seen in the Vancouver Observer
Right wing bloggers linked to the NPA have spent the last couple of months spreading dirt on Vision linked communications firm FD Element.
"Corrupt". "Dishonest". 'Disgusting." "A straight up gift to political supporters." That last quote is from Mike Klassen, who has blogged extensively about the FD Element contract on his site Citycaucus.
It turns out Klassen is guilty of exactly the same thing for Mayor Sam Sullivan – with one big exception. It appears Klassen's partner at CityCaucus – former Sam Sullivan Chief of Staff Daniel Fontaine – may have broken contracting rules to make his "straight up gift" to Klassen, a long time NPA and BC Liberal organizer.
A couple of months ago I used FOI to ask for city contracts related to Thinking Cap's web work for Mayor Sam Sullivan. NPA insiders will know that Thinking Cap is Mike Klassen's web company.
FOI staff emailed me on September 15th to let me know they couldn't find any contracts with Klassen or Thinking Cap. But they did find payments.
Beginning in February 2006 and ending on the last day of Mayor Sullivan's tenure in December 2008, Klassen invoiced the Office of the Mayor fourteen times for a total of $28,299.28. That's about the same as FD Elements charged for its web work on behalf of the current mayor.
So Klassen and FD Elements are in the same boat. Both provided web services. Both did similar work and both charged about the same amount.
The only difference is that there is no evidence that Klassen had a contract to do the work. It appears Thinking Cap just billed Sullivan's Office, Fontaine signed off and the City paid.
Well, just try submitting an invoice without a contract. You won't get paid, because it's against city policy to conduct business that way. The very first point in the City contracting policy says "Written contracts are required in all cases and must include the following: what the consultant is to do…" The contract must also say how long the term is for.
Tory blogger Alex Tsakumis called FD's contract scandalous and said it was "disgusting on every level". Global News signed on to the attack. But Klassen and his partner Daniel Fontaine get free passes from bloggers like Tsakumis and the reporters at Global.
In fact Global uses Klassen frequently as an 'independent' source – they've referred to him as just a concerned parent and as a commentator from CityCaucus, without identifying his role as NPA insider and Sam Sullivan organizer.
Given that Klassen's got similar money for similar work with the city, the free pass is concerning. Add what looks like Sullivan's office breaking city contracting rules to funnel the money to Klassen and the free pass becomes outrageous.
Where's the screaming headline 'Sullivan Chief of Staff signs off on 28K in payments to website partner against city policy'? Strange how it only works one way over there in right wing world.
Pot, you're looking a little blacker than the kettle you've been beating on.
The Observer asked Mr. Klassen for his comment on this story. And he has kindly replied.
"I think Ian is right that there was "no contract". That's probably because I was doing piecemeal work, charging at my hourly rate, kind of like when you bring in an electrician. I recall Anna Lilly asking me for some kind of letter of agreement to cover her bases in case I did or said something that caused them problems. I can't recall if we just did that by email, or if we both forgot because we were both too busy.
"Of course, the thing about getting paid out of the Mayor's office discretionary fund is that Fontaine and Magee can make these kinds of calls, provided its within their budget. I stand by my earlier comment that the City can hire suppliers as they will as long as it is under $30,000 and the supplier is competent. Note that it was Tsakumis & GlobalTV who made a stink about FD being "untendered" on the website, not me. So on that one Ian's kind of blurring the facts."
And my own disclosure: My now defunct company bid on and won two contracts under Mayor Larry Campbell – one for the city and one for the Vancouver Agreement. The bidding on the Vancouver Agreement contract involved all three levels of government.

A Good Fall
by Ha Jin |
They leave their homes in China with high expectations for a new life in a country bursting with opportunity. But what the characters in Ha Jin's latest collection of stories mostly find in the United States, specifically in and around Queens, N.Y., is how elusive a fresh start can be. In one tale, a young woman working long hours as a waitress is forced to send her savings home to China, where her spoiled younger sister has threatened to sell one of her organs online to pay for a pricey new car. In another, a graduate student feels obligated to help one of his former professors, who's visiting the Chinese consulate in Manhattan, defect to the U.S. And in the charming, quirky title story, an ailing monk, left penniless by his temple's unscrupulous master, determines that suicide is the only way to avoid shaming his family back home. (He botches the attempt, becomes a local celebrity, sues the temple for back pay and finds true love!) The author, whose novel Waiting won the National Book Award in 1999, writes with warmth and humor about what it means to be a bewildered stranger in a strange land, no matter where one was born.
Edited by Jan Freeman, Emily Wojcik and Deborah Bull | REVIEWED BY ANNE LESLIE
Writers including Margaret Atwood and Alice Walker explore sisterhood in this intelligent collection. Don't look for sugar sweetness here; do expect heartache. One woman mourns the younger sister she lost. Another recalls trying to be "a good daughter" while her wilder sister broke loose. The book makes clear that sisters don't outgrow their bond. "Life doesn't go backwards and I want to know you," poet Daisy Zamora writes. "To recognize you./ That is, to get to know you again." Once a sister, always one.
Thank Heaven
by Leslie Caron |
In this charming memoir, the Gigi star dishes on men and delves into her drinking and depression. Feeling aged out of Hollywood (lover Warren Beatty said she was too old to costar in Bonnie and Clyde), Caron, now 78, reinvented herself as a writer and innkeeper. "The best part of my life is over," she insists. Don't believe her.
Pirate Latitudes
by Michael Crichton |
Discovered after the Jurassic Park author died in '08, this swashbuckler is like an R-rated Pirates of the Caribbean. Capt. Charles Hunter, a randy pirate who prefers the term "privateer," pulls together a gang of marauders to plunder a Spanish galleon and split the booty with Jamaica's corrupt governor, Sir James Almont. Along the way, Hunter's men and a wily French female pirate named Lazue encounter deadly snakes, perilous cliffs, poison darts, storms and even a dragon. One pirate turns on the crafty captain, leading to a surprising twist. Not as riveting as Crichton's best yarns, Latitudes nonetheless offers unexpected turns and plenty of yo ho ho's.

Medical Tourism: Have Insurance Card, Will Travel
September 22, 2010
Most Americans are shielded from the full cost of health care and have little or no incentive to compare prices or choose lower cost providers, says Devon Herrick, a senior fellow with the National Center for Policy Analysis.
However, as patients take on a growing portion of their health care costs, medical tourists are going abroad for treatments that can cost up to 80 percent less than at home.
- In the United States, an insurer might pay $40,000 for a hip replacement.
- In Singapore, hip replacements range from $10,000 to $15,000.
- A hip replacement in India would cost $8,000 or less.
Some health insurers in the United States are experimenting with small, exclusive networks, which may require patients to travel some distance for certain procedures. Other provider networks are competing on price for the business of individuals, insurers and employer health plans:
- Illinois-based Healthplace America, Inc., offers U.S. employers a specialty network of hospitals and clinics that will perform surgeries for 30 percent to 50 percent less than a typical provider network.
- North American Surgery, Inc., has negotiated deep discounts with 22 surgery centers, hospitals and clinics across the United States as an alternative to foreign travel for low-cost surgeries.
- North American Surgery's "cash" price for a hip replacement in the United States is $16,000 to $19,000.
Selective contracting with hospitals and clinics abroad, as well as at home, could foster greater competition among health care providers and lower health care spending, says Herrick.

What the heck is wrong?

The private all-girls school Hachimitsu Academy stands on the outskirts of Tokyo, a strict boarding school for sporting elite young women that upholds traditional rules on its campus. However, the new academic year sees the reform of one tradition: the admittance of male students. Though the few accepted boys including Kiyoshi Fujino are thrilled by this discovery, only five boys enter the cohort with a 1:200 boy-to-girl ratio on the first day of school. To their dismay, their adolescent dreams are crushed when they are unable to interact with the schoolgirls due to the written threats of the misandric Underground Student Council. The infiltration of the girls' bathing area by the five boys results in their internal imprisonment in the school's Prison Block, where they receive an ultimatum from the USC to stay a month in the prison or be expelled.

The more the government calls attention to the plight of anything, whether it is children, senior citizens or women's services, the more it is false, and nothing but a device to accomplish the opposite of the stated end result.
It is nothing but window-dressing, and grandstanding in an attempt to distract the public from what is really going on behind the scenes, for while they yammer on with their "feel good" titles and slogans, they are still doing everything they can to preserve their own jobs at the expense of everyone else.
Have you noticed they are still balancing budgets on the backs of the poor and the schools, continually cutting funding to education? How is that not leaving children behind? How is cutting money from community services and recreation programs not leaving children behind?
No, sir--this program needs to be re-named accurately as "EVERY child left behind."
The worse the educational system becomes, the less educated the population becomes, and the less educated the population, the easier it is to control with fear-mongering tactics, which then makes it very easy to strip away our freedoms under the guise of "protecting us."
Trust nothing the government says: do your own research.

Last week, I spent time in St. Louis before the draft and in Kansas City during the draft. (By the way, I wasn't in the Chiefs' draft room, as a paper in Chiefland reported.
Put simply, I really like what the Rams did, particularly in selecting Baylor tackle
But Devaney went boring, taking the tackle.
"I don't care if I screwed up in picking the tackle No. 2,'' Devaney told me. "I was tired of seeing our quarterback get killed. I don't care if we give up 50 points a game, I'm not going to sit around and watch our quarterback get abused the way he did last year and the way he would have if we didn't address the offense line.
"I understand and I appreciate our fans who say, 'Go get the quarterback. He could be a franchise quarterback. How many times are you in position to get an elite quarterback' They're right. But how many times are you in position to get an elite left tackle? You can't get one down the line in the draft. You can't get one in free-agency; they're never available. Plus, I really believe, like our coach [
I said this before the draft: There is no team with a worse position group in the league than the Rams at tackle. They have got
If Sanchez had gone to the Rams, I think he would have become
Picking Smith gives the team a chance to try to rebuild a bad offensive line. I couldn't agree with their pick more.

Now onto your e-mail:
Aaron, I don't think the NFL is considering going overseas with the game. I think the story that came out was a case of someone in the NFL saying that someday it's not out of the realm of possibility that the game could go to London or Germany. I don't think that day is soon. Roger Goodell acknowledged as much.
Well, I think a lot of Raider fans share your pessimism. I do know this: There's going to be incredible pressure on
The Eagles, I'm sure, didn't know who the Giants were going to pick. Even if they did, I doubt they'd have been very concerned to see a receiver from Cal Poly go to a division rival. Not that I'm saying Barden can't play. But I just don't think if you're the Eagles you're thinking about that when you're acquiring an extra fifth-round pick just for trading down six slots in the round. If you're the Eagles, you're thinking you could get the same player at 91 that you'd have been taking at 85, and it means you can pay the same player less money because you're taking him six slots lower. It's the way the Eagles do business.
I don't think so. As
Very well. He's the highest-paid cornerback ever. But I'd bet you a grande latte that there was more interest higher in the draft for Jenkins, who was drafted 14th overall, than there was in 2003 for Asomugha, who was drafted 31st.
The one-strike thing is big, plus he was suspended for bumping an official in high school, was involved in a major basketball fight in high school, and missed two Florida games for what the school said were migraine headaches, which has been widely derided in the NFL community. Teams weren't sure entering the draft why he missed those two games, but they didn't buy it was for migraine headaches. Whatever, he'll have a chance to be the best offensive weapon in this draft.

Hi everyone. My family of 10 is coming to Europe this summer for two weeks. We are coming from USA, starting our trip in Zurich, Switzerland and ending in Prague, Czech. We are debating whether or not to go to Innsbruck. It was originally in our plan but then we took it out because we couldn't figure out what to do while we are there. It looks like a beautiful postcard perfect town. Our thoughts are to do it since we are traveling all the way to Innsbruck. Based on our itinerary we would get there on the evening of Day 4, spend the night there, and see Innsbruck town on Day 5 and probably head to Salzburg the evening of Day 5.
Here is a tentative plan. I know that some of you may feel that this is too much and some of you may feel this is ok. However, please keep in mind that we are ok with jumping from place to place so we can see more.
• Day 1--> Arrive in Zurich by 9:00am.
○ Spend the night in Lauterbrunnen Valley
• Day 2 --> Head to Grindelwald in the morning
○ Spend night in Lauterbrunnen Valley
• Day 3--> Head to Broc and Grueyere
○ Chocolate factory in Broc
○ Cheese factory in Grueyere
○ From Grueyere, head to Chur and spend the night in Chur
• Day 4-> Bernina Scenic Express from Chur
○ Train for Bernina Express leaves at 8:30am and arrives in Tirano around 12:45pm
○ Hired a private taxi transfer from Tirano to Salzburg (can change to Innsbruck if needed at this point)
• Day 5 -->
○ Hang around Salzburg town all day (alternatively hang out in innsbruck all day)
○ Head to Salzburg in the evening and spend night in Salzburg
• Day 6 --> Ice Caves
○ Spend the night in Salzburg
• Day 7 --> Hallstat
○ Spend the night in Salzburg
• Day 8 --> Day in Salzburg
○ Perhaps leave for Vienna in the evening and spend the night in Vienna
• Day 9--> Spend day in Vienna
○ Spend the night in Vienna
• Day 10--> Day trip to Budapest, Hungary?
○ There is a tour company that does day trip to Budapest but we may not do this do to the travel time issue and instead just spend the time in Vienna
○ Return back to Vienna and spend the night in Vienna if we did go to Budapest as this is a "day trip"
• Day 11 --> Leave for Prague some time today
○ Spend the night in Prague
• Day 12 --> Prague
• Day 13--> Another full day in Prague
• Day 14 --> early morning flight back to USA
My family has agreed that if we do Innsbruck, we may not do Budapest. However, if we do not do Innsbruck, then we will probably reconsider going to Budapest. We are aware of the 3 hours there and 3 hours back to Vienna, but are ok with this
Thank you in advance to all who reply!!!

To do Innsbruck or not to do?
Hi everyone. My family of 10 is coming to Europe this summer for two weeks. We are coming from USA, starting our trip in Zurich, Switzerland and ending in Prague, Czech. We are debating whether or not to go to Innsbruck. It was originally in our plan but then we took it out because we couldn't figure out what to do while we are there. It looks like a beautiful postcard perfect town. Our thoughts are to do it since we are traveling all the way to Innsbruck.

This is the same itinerary you had before. Don;t see Innsbruck added or Budapest removed. And have you checked out the actual time of trains for all of these routes?
Report Abuse
There are some good day trips from Innsbruck but not clear you have time for them.
Report Abuse
Thursdaysd...what kinds of day trips? Thanks in advance !! I was thinking of Neuschwanstein Castle Tour day trip from Innsbruck and then instead of heading out to Salzburg that same day, go another day? Thanks in advance !
Report Abuse
Ziller valley, Stubai glacier, Achensee, Hall.
Report Abuse
Thanks! Alchensee sounds wonderful!!! By Hall, do you mean Hallstat?
Report Abuse
I think what we may do is cut out Budapest completely, and add an extra day in INNSBRUCK so that we can either do Alchensee or the Neuschwanstein castle tour.
Thanks for your recommendations ThursdaysD!

No, I mean Hall. I have been to the other three places, but not Hall, but posters here speak highly of it.

Try googling Hall in Tyrol. It is a quaint town with a good gothic cathedral. A few hour visit is more than enough.
Innsbruck holds enough to see for a full day.
I did the tour van day trip from Vienna to Budapest but I brought my luggage along as I was staying in Budapest for 4 nights. You do see all the major highlights after which you are given some time to shop, eat lunch, etc. (I don't know how long since I went to my hotel) but it is a long trip (and I didn't have to do the return trip).

viranpooja, from this and your other post, you and your family no doubt want to experience some of the best of Central Europe in two weeks. We have lived in Vienna for only four years, and spend every holiday and long weekend away from the house, and still we are nowhere close to achieving the kinds of goals you have set for this holiday.
You mention a day trip to Neuschwanstein from Innsbruck. The one-way is about two hours; and unless you purchase your timed tickets in advance more time is wasted standing in a queue. Is an entire day worth it to see Neuschwanstein? What about Hohenschwangau? Fussen? Mittenwald? Hall in Tyrol? And so on? Do you see how this list can expand?
You have also set aside but one day for Vienna, the Imperial capital of the Hapsburg Empire. My guess is that you will either queue in insufferable lines to see the summer palace (Schloss Schönbrunn), or wander about the city not really knowing what you are looking at. Ditto for Budapest. I have taken visiting family and friends on day trips to Budapest from Vienna (sigh!); but I know where to park my car; I know how to use public transit; I know how to navigate the city; I have the appropriate currency in hand, and so forth. On a bus tour you'll likely be dropped at the castle complex, which is barely a fraction of what Budapest offers, and then driven around to take snaps of places you can say you "saw" in Hungary's capital. Did you know that three of the oldest sets of crown jewels in Europe reside in Budapest, Prague, and Vienna? With your itinerary you'll likely not see them.
Day trips invariably either take longer than expected and/or you see barely enough to know if you've enjoyed a destination. Add to that summer heat and the logistics of moving 10 people, and this holiday becomes terribly complicated. As others have said, you will "see" the major highlights but often have little time to appreciate them. By way of example, we recently hosted our son's visiting girlfriend from the US, where they are both in university. Over her 14 day visit they toured Prague, Salzburg, Garmisch (they hiked up to Zugspitze), and Vienna, and this is with our son being able to speak German (which helped even in Prague) and knowing how to navigate the logistics of train travel, individual cities, and currency differences. Not to mention being able to avoid the crappy tourist restaurants.
Of course, as always, this is your holiday. If "seeing" is your goal, you will achieve that goal with flying colors.

How do you tell your child that you won't be there when they grow up? Unwell is the raw, honest story of a mother who writes to her unborn child, sharing her decision of choosing not to be a mother. She doesn't choose abortion. Nor does she consider adoption. Instead, she decides to give her child a fighting chance in life, without the angst and drama that's shaped her own bittersweet life.
With a poignant lack of emotion, the young mother shares her life story. As the child of Asian parents who moved to America early in her life, the mother shares how her life disintegrated after her parents' divorce. From upper middle class suburban to sharing her mean aunt's house to a one bedroom apartment in a shabby neighborhood, this mother endures the indignity that comes with the change of status. From her father's absence to her mother becoming a married man's mistress, her story reads like a tragic Victorian novel set in the 21st century, but that's where the similarity ends-she is definitely not a shy country miss and she certainly did not take the easy way out.
This amazing story chronicles the life of a woman who fought for everything she got, faced her demons, and made the hard choices. Her fortitude and candor are disarming, her avant-garde views strangely endearing. Through this glimpse into the life of a woman of integrity, sacrifice and love, you'll feel her pain, live her failures, and cheer for the meager joys that come her way. But the one thing you'll never do - is forget her. Or her story.

From Ditchling Beacon to Devil's Dyke, West Sussex
A 100-mile path following the ancient routes and droveways between Winchester
in Hampshire and Beachy Head near Eastbourne, the South Downs Way is one of
England's most interesting walking routes.
One of the loveliest stretches is Ditchling Beacon to Devil's Dyke (five
miles), a moderate-to-strenuous route with some steep ascents and descents.
It can get very crowded in the summer so the winter months are an excellent
time to visit. Once an Iron Age hill fort and part of a chain of fires lit
to warn of foreign invaders, Ditchling Beacon has spectacular views across
the Weald. En route, you pass windmills, woodland, ancient burial mounds and
Clayton village, which has a Saxon church with 11th-century frescoes. And
then finally you arrive at Devil's Dyke, a large, dry valley and the site of
another ancient hill fort and settlement.
You can combine the walk with an overnight stay in nearby Brighton. Try the
stylish, cosy Drakes,
right on the seafront, and only a 20-minute drive to Ditchling Beacon the
following day.

In the film Red Dawn, Patrick Swayze fends off invading Communists. So bad-ass. In Road House, he gives the definitive club-bouncer performance. Totally bad-ass. In Dirty Dancing, he plays a dance instructor in the Catskills, which is not very bad-ass, yet somehow Swayze is in full-on bad-ass mode. No one ever put Baby in a corner again. Then came the biggest test of his onscreen bad-ass-ness: size 12 stilettos in To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar. Were just saying, playing a drag queen who deals with small-town ignorance is a role only a bad-ass can play.

In real life, Swayze has been battling pancreatic cancer. But after reports he had only weeks to live, he now seems to be responding well to treatment. Why? Duh because he's a bad-ass, and if you need further proof, the Cosford Cinema, on the University of Miami campus, will be holding SwayzeFest 2008 Friday through Sunday, when you can catch all four of the aforementioned flicks. Tickets cost eight bucks. For screening times, call 305 284-4861 or visit www.cosfordcinema.com.

Explore the scenic, wild and largely undiscovered island of Madagascar
Lying adjacent to the east coast of Africa, Madagascar is home to stunning mountains, spectacular rainforests and white, sandy beaches. The island protects incredible numbers of endangered lemurs, rare plants and birds within its expansive national parks. Go trekking beneath lush tree canopies for a close-up look at Madagascar's most famous creatures, walk through quaint towns filled with markets and European-influenced architecture, and enjoy relaxing holiday time on magnificent Indian Ocean beaches. Combining friendly locals, fascinating wildlife and idyllic island vistas, the Madagascar experience is a unique slice of paradise.
Stay in a cottage deep within the Ranomafana National Park – surrounded by lush rainforest and countless species of flora and fauna.
See how many species of lemur you can spot in Isalo, Anadsibe and Ranomafana National Parks (there are 33 different types!).
Learn how sapphires are mined from the experts: the people of Ilakaka – the world's largest sapphire exporter!
Explore the sandstone formations, deep canyons, palm-lined oases and vast grasslands of Isalo National Park – just some of its awesome variety of landscapes.
Take a refreshing dip in the Indian Ocean from the relatively untouched paradise of Ill Sainte Marie.
Although anyone with a good level of fitness should be able to partake in this itinerary, there are several challenging aspects: guided day walks through the many national parks can be hot and humid.
Road conditions in Madagascar are also notoriously poor. This means some of the driving days will be long as well as bumpy.
Some accommodation inside the national parks is basic and may not have the creature comforts of hotels in bigger towns and cities. Be prepared for no wifi or air conditioning. But also for charming, tucked away locations you won't quite believe are real.
This itinerary is valid for departures from 01 January 2017 to 31 December 2017. View the itinerary for departures between 01 January 2018 - 31 December 2018
Trip search is unavailable.
There are currently no scheduled departures on our Experience Madagascar trip. If you are interested in other trips in the region visit one of the links below.

2. This trip finishes at our Sainte Marie hotel on day 16. You are free to depart at any time.
3. If you are flying from St Marie to Antananarivo we do not recommend you plan to connect any regional or international flights the same day.
Our Experience Madagascar trips score an average of 4.84 out of 5 based on 32 reviews in the last year.
When you booking trip to Madagascar try to start from booking flight from ille Saint Marie to Antananarivo. Do not skip ile aux Natte. Take with you antibiotics of common use, we had a problem with flux. Buy SteriPEN Travel Water Purifier, it will keep your stomach in a good state, will not use endless plastic bottles. If you have heart problems better to skip mountains climbing in high temperature condition.

By Alex Butler, Product Manager, Life Science Applications (LS APPs), MasterControl
Love her or hate her, reality-star Kim Kardashian knows how to get our attention. Whether she's trying to break the Internet with risqué photos or agonizing over which Rolex to wear, people are watching. Kardashian boasts more than 34 million Twitter followers; 26, 074, 878 likes on her Facebook fan page; and 42 million Instagram followers. Forty-two million! That's how many people may have seen her infamous July 19 Instagram post praising the morning sickness drug Diclegis® that landed her and drug maker Duchesnay in hot water with the FDA. "Kim Kardashian's greed finally got the better of her," the author of one op-ed piece for the popular U.K. tabloid the Mirror gleefully exclaimed.1 I'm not so sure. Perhaps Kim Kardashian is smarter than we think.
"OMG. Have You Heard About This?"
"OMG. Have you heard about this?" Kardashian asks, striking one of her trademark come-hither selfie poses. She then proceeds to tell her fans about the terrible nausea she has been experiencing during her second pregnancy and credits Diclegis®, the only FDA-approved prescription treatment for morning sickness, with making her feel "a lot better…with no increased risk to the baby." What she fails to mention are the drug's potential side effects and interactions. These omissions violate the FDA's drug-promotion rules.
The FDA was swift to respond, sending a short but stern warning letter to Duchesnay Executive Vice President Eric Gervais on August 7. "The social media post is false or misleading in that it presents efficacy claims for DICLEGIS, but fails to communicate any risk information," the letter states. Therefore, her "violations are concerning from a public health perspective because they suggest DICLEGIS is safer than has been demonstrated." The FDA requested that the drug maker correct the claims "using the same media," meaning that another Instagram post from Kardashian is probably in the works.
This article is related to the Whitepaper: 21 CFR Part 11 Industry Overview: Ready for an FDA Inspection? To get the full details, please download your free copy.
Is the FDA's Social Media Draft Guidance "Impractical?"
After the offending post was removed on August 11, Duchesnay issued a press release noting the reality star's support of the drug. The statement included all of the safety information Kardashian failed to provide—a full page and a half of disclaimers—plus instructions to report any negative side effects to the FDA. Given the character space limits on most social media platforms, it seems highly unlikely that any drug could be promoted to FDA's satisfaction using social media. Perhaps that's why many drug makers have urged the FDA to alter its draft guidance on social media rules, citing it as impractical. The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America even went so far as to say the guidance would have a "chilling" effect on manufacturers' ability to use social media to reach consumers.2
The draft guidance, issued in June of 2014, requires drug and medical device makers to disclose the benefits and potential risks of their products when posting on social platforms, even if the social media platform only offers limited character space. Surely, as a paid spokesperson for the drug, Kardashian's post was at least vetted (if not provided) by Duchesnay's marketing and/or legal people. This makes me wonder: Could the post have been by design? Perhaps Duchesnay felt having a direct pipeline to Kardashian's tens of millions of followers would be worth a slap on the wrist from the FDA? Think about it. The post received more than 460,000 likes, the media is all over it, and who is to say how many women have asked their doctors about the drug as a direct result of Kardashian's urging. The TODAY Show is reporting that Duchesnay has seen a 500 percent spike in digital awareness since their run in with the FDA. That type of brand awareness is hard to come by.
Another Boost to Kardashian's Brand Empire
And don't worry about Kim K. She's suffered worse media backlash than this. She's not going to have to start doing her own nails or pawning her Rolex collection. Although the drug maker has denied their relationship with the reality star was intended to go beyond the initial post, it seems unlikely that it can fulfill the FDA's request to correct the messaging "using the same media, and generally for the same duration of time and with the same frequency that the violative promotional material was disseminated," without calling on Kardashian again.
Upside for Drug Makers
Duchesnay isn't the first drug manufacturer to be cited for false or misleading marketing claims, but it is one of the first to be cited due to a claim made on social media, a medium that most drug and device makers tend to shy away from because the rules are either too strict or too difficult to understand.
At least that's the impression I got when I attended Scott Liebman's "FDA's Social Media Draft Guidance & Complaint Management" presentation at the 13th Annual Products Complaints Congress for Life Sciences in June. Liebman, an attorney and FDA Regulatory & Compliance Partner at Loeb & Loeb LLP, drew a standing-room-only crowd of attendees who seemed desperate for some, well, guidance about the guidance. A few things he pointed out during his presentation have become clear in the Kardashian/Duchesnay aftermath:
- Drug companies cannot hide behind their celebrity sponsors, marketing departments or legal advisors when direct-to-consumer advertising goes wrong. Notice the warning letter was sent to Duchesnay's top executive, not Kardashian.
- If Kardashian had praised the drug as a consumer rather than a paid spokesperson, her post and comments would not have attracted the FDA's ire.
- No medication is completely safe, no matter who endorses it.
IMHO, celebrity endorsements can be a good thing, when done correctly. How long would it have taken for the manufacturer and health professionals to spread the word about Diclegis® to women suffering from severe morning sickness without Kardashian's support? Judging from the comments received on Kardashian's Instagram page, many women have already requested the drug from their physicians and are (hopefully) finding relief, which is great. The question is: What is the correct way for life sciences companies to engage celebrities to endorse their products on social media without engaging the FDA? It seems only appropriate that the Internet's self-crowned social media queen has sparked the debate on a larger scale.

Packed into a hot, crowded conference room for a public hearing on Monday, almost two dozen speakers denounced a proposed Orange County law that would allow authorities to keep cash and other assets involved in misdemeanor drug cases once the defendant has been convicted or pleads guilty.
County Executive Steve Neuhaus held the mandatory hearing before deciding by Friday whether to sign or veto the proposal, which the Legislature passed in a 12-9 vote on Dec. 4, with all Republicans in support and all Democrats in opposition.
Around 75 people squeezed into a meeting room on Matthews Street for back-to-back hearings on that law and another that would allow the county to sell its Government Center. The hearings generated so much interest between them that Neuhaus also scheduled sessions at 6 p.m. Monday in a larger venue.

David Flusfeder's last novel, A Film by Spencer Ludwig, featured a London-based film-maker visiting his dying father in New York. The book, Flusfeder admitted, was heavily autobiographical, including its portrait of Spencer, a man whose high-minded opposition to commercialism ensures, among other things, that not many people watch his films. "We admire your bravery, his friends tell him," writes Flusfeder, adding: "Spencer had long ago realised that when people say brave they usually mean stupid."
Partly, then, the novel seems like an acknowledgement – by turns rueful, funny and defiant – that, while Flusfeder's work is generally well received, it tends not to trouble bestseller lists. So, which way would he go? The answer, it transpires, was to write something very brave indeed.
John the Pupil is put before us as a long-lost manuscript by a Franciscan friar, who in 1267 travelled from Oxford to deliver a copy of Roger Bacon's Opus Majus to the Pope. As well as reflecting Bacon's own interest in synthesising medieval theology with Aristotelian empiricism, John's fragmentary narrative also contains plenty of hagiography and prayer, along with some genuine adventures.
It also comes with a scholarly introduction by the unnamed translator – and his stern notes instructing us not to impose any modern ideas on what we're reading. ("To think we can gain a better understanding of ourselves by studying our precursors… is tempting… But the past is eternally different from us.") There are hints that the translator is intended to be comically po-faced but not many that suggest he's wrong.
In a slightly desperate attempt to talk up its appeal, the publishers describe John the Pupil as "Umberto Eco seen through the eyes of Quentin Tarantino". In reality, the perspective is determinedly medieval, complete with angels, demons and a line between history and myth that's not so much blurred as non-existent.
The idea that there's an unaltering substance called "the human condition" appals the translator, just as it did Ludwig – and John the Pupil often feels as if was written to disprove the whole notion, by plunging the 21st-century reader into a world where very little is recognisable.
The fact that Flusfeder achieves this so triumphantly is highly impressive. But that doesn't make the book easier to grasp. It also means he is no longer playing to his strengths: comedy and a psychological understanding that would be as foreign to John the Pupil as his world-view is to us. Like I say, brave.

Main prayer hall(Nat Mondir)
I have just arrived at the Faridpur town by 4:30 from Dhaka. The sun was going to proclaim an end for that day. I was in hurry, and decided to explore the main spots from the town. So it was the Sree Angon from the town was my first visit list from the town.
Another view of the Natmondir
This is located at Goalchamot of the town. This is between the old bus stand and the new bus stand. If you are going from old bus stand to new one, then the Angon(local people call this angon) will be at left hand side of you. If you are from new bus stand, that case it will be at right hand side.
Gorur(Godur) bird caring something
This Angon was established by the "Jagadbondhu Shundar" during the "Roth Jatra" festival of "Ashar 1306" of Bengali calendar. The land for the Angon was donated by "Sreeram Sundar" and "Sreeram Kumarmudi".
The Roth
Each days lots of "bhokto"(devotee) used to visit the place. For them, the angon has a facility for providing accommodations. It has around 30 rooms that can take 150 devotee.
This angon is a specious area, and there are several prayer hall around it. Actually I don't have that much idea about the Hindu religion(specially when it comes about prayer). If you enter the prayer halls, you have to take your shoes off.
Most interesting from the Angon premise that I found, it was the "Nouka Mondir". In my life time, I didn't hear about this. Inside the mondir, a boat is placed. The founder, Jagadbondhu used to go for a jaunt at river Padma with His devotees, and returned back during the last part of the night. I think this is the reason for such name.
Nouka Mondir
Beside the Nouka mondir, I have found a "Roth" placed inside a building. The roth was completely made from wood. This is not looked like a giant one, only a medium one. During the "Roth jatra" at Ashar of Bengali Almanac this used to exhibit for the people.
Inside the Nouka Mondir
This place is calm and relent place, no chaos from the outside life. If you pass some time inside the premise, it will simply please your mind.

available from http://www.valgrind.org.
3.12.0 is a feature release with many improvements and the usual
collection of bug fixes. This release adds support for POWER ISA 3.0,
improves instruction set support on ARM32, ARM64 and MIPS, and
provides support for the latest common components (kernel, gcc, glibc).
There are many smaller refinements and new features. The release notes
below give more details.
NOTE! FOSDEM 2017: we will have a Valgrind developer room at FOSDEM
in Brussels, Belgium, on Sat 4 February 2017. The Call for Participation
is at https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2016-October/002467.html.
Please join us, regardless of whether you are a Valgrind core hacker,
Valgrind tool hacker, Valgrind user, Valgrind packager or hacker on a
project that integrates, extends or complements Valgrind.
Our thanks to all those who contribute to Valgrind's development.
This release represents a great deal of time, energy and effort on the
part of many people.
Happy and productive debugging and profiling,
-- The Valgrind Developers
Release 3.12.0 (20 October 2016)
3.12.0 is a feature release with many improvements and the usual
collection of bug fixes.
This release supports X86/Linux, AMD64/Linux, ARM32/Linux,
ARM64/Linux, PPC32/Linux, PPC64BE/Linux, PPC64LE/Linux, S390X/Linux,
MIPS32/Linux, MIPS64/Linux, ARM/Android, ARM64/Android,
MIPS32/Android, X86/Android, X86/Solaris, AMD64/Solaris, X86/MacOSX
10.10 and AMD64/MacOSX 10.10. There is also preliminary support for
X86/MacOSX 10.11/12, AMD64/MacOSX 10.11/12 and TILEGX/Linux.
* POWER: Support for ISA 3.0 has been added
* mips: support for O32 FPXX ABI has been added.
* mips: improved recognition of different processors
* mips: determination of page size now done at run time
* amd64: Partial support for AMD FMA4 instructions.
* arm, arm64: Support for v8 crypto and CRC instructions.
* Improvements and robustification of the Solaris port.
* Preliminary support for MacOS 10.12 (Sierra) has been added.
Whilst 3.12.0 continues to support the 32-bit x86 instruction set, we
would prefer users to migrate to 64-bit x86 (a.k.a amd64 or x86_64)
where possible. Valgrind's support for 32-bit x86 has stagnated in
recent years and has fallen far behind that for 64-bit x86
instructions. By contrast 64-bit x86 is well supported, up to and
including AVX2.
* Memcheck:
- Added meta mempool support for describing a custom allocator which:
- Auto-frees all chunks assuming that destroying a pool destroys all
objects in the pool
- Uses itself to allocate other memory blocks
- New flag --ignore-range-below-sp to ignore memory accesses below
the stack pointer, if you really have to. The related flag
--workaround-gcc296-bugs=yes is now deprecated. Use
--ignore-range-below-sp=1024-1 as a replacement.
- Improved thread startup time significantly on non-Linux platforms.
- Added collection of the metric "tot-blocks-allocd"
* Replacement/wrapping of malloc/new related functions is now done not just
for system libraries by default, but for any globally defined malloc/new
related function (both in shared libraries and statically linked alternative
malloc implementations). The dynamic (runtime) linker is excluded, though.
To only intercept malloc/new related functions in
system libraries use --soname-synonyms=somalloc=nouserintercepts (where
"nouserintercepts" can be any non-existing library name).
This new functionality is not implemented for MacOS X.
* The maximum number of callers in a suppression entry is now equal to
the maximum size for --num-callers (500).
Note that --gen-suppressions=yes|all similarly generates suppressions
containing up to --num-callers frames.
* New and modified GDB server monitor features:
- Valgrind's gdbserver now accepts the command 'catch syscall'.
Note that you must have GDB >= 7.11 to use 'catch syscall' with
* New option --run-cxx-freeres=<yes|no> can be used to change whether
__gnu_cxx::__freeres() cleanup function is called or not. Default is
* Valgrind is able to read compressed debuginfo sections in two formats:
- zlib ELF gABI format with SHF_COMPRESSED flag (gcc option -gz=zlib)
- zlib GNU format with .zdebug sections (gcc option -gz=zlib-gnu)
* Modest JIT-cost improvements: the cost of instrumenting code blocks
for the most common use case (x86_64-linux, Memcheck) has been
reduced by 10%-15%.
* Improved performance for programs that do a lot of discarding of
instruction address ranges of 8KB or less.
* The C++ symbol demangler has been updated.
* More robustness against invalid syscall parameters on Linux.
The following bugs have been fixed or resolved. Note that "n-i-bz"
stands for "not in bugzilla" -- that is, a bug that was reported to us
but never got a bugzilla entry. We encourage you to file bugs in
bugzilla (https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=valgrind) rather
than mailing the developers (or mailing lists) directly -- bugs that
are not entered into bugzilla tend to get forgotten about or ignored.

Sound move. I was able to give up shipping 32-bit x86 Mac and Linux software
earlier this year, and our customers tend to be quite conservative about this.

In this article, I will point you down the main reasons why you should start your own blog.This will encourage you enough to start a new blog in action.heare are 10 things to consider before you start a blog.
1. Blogging is Easy
Yes, that's true if you are able to write E-mails then you can run a blog.The hardest part is setting it up.But I have fully explained it on this blog.
With WordPress, you don't have to design your blog using HTML or PHP.You only have to work with theme customization and installing plugins.These customizations are pretty simple like changing a profile picture on facebook.Wordpress dashboard is a user-friendly blog management system.Once you get the grip of it, you will know exactly what to do.
2.Google loves Bloggers
Google is the world number one search engine.Search engines help to bring new readers to your blog.When your blog is ready, google go through your blog articles and pages.And the articles will be listed on google.It means you will receive additional visitors from search engines.these new visitors will become your new friends or future business partners.
3.Blogging Makes You a Better Person
Blogging will surely make you a better person in many ways.It obviously improves your writing skills as well as communication skills.You will write articles, tutorials and you will write about your personal experience and opinion.And you keep writing to an international audience. You will start thinking more intentionally about who you are and who you want to become
Furthermore, when you send a job application many employers look for employees who have blogs and write openly about their subjects and study cases.So writing a blog is definite "plus" for you.
4. Blogging Helps Other People
You share your knowledge via blogs.This will be very useful if you have studied a bit about a certain subject matter.You can help other people with specific problems.Let's say you have a blog about "Coding in python"There are many new coders daily entering the programming world with Python coding.Your knowledge or advice could be essential and very helpful.
The same thing goes with any other blog topic.It should not be a technical one may be a blog about "Mother care" or " Photography" You can help other people in their own way.It will be very heart-warming when you start to get emails saying "Thanks for providing such valuable information"
5.You Can Make Money with Blogging
Now this is the most interesting part that you have been waiting for.You must have seen or have heard about people who are making a lot of money by just blogging.It's not easy at the beginning you have to spend some time, traffic but once you have enough readers you will start making some small, yet passive income.with time traffic numbers will increase and yet your income increase.I am not only talking about few hundred dollars.But most of the people earn their living from blogging.
6.Can promote yourself
When you have a blog you can promote yourself or make you look like an expert.Finally, now you have a tool or a channel to promote yourself.You will really get amazed how many people will contact you directly to offer working positions.This will open you a lot of doors that you might never ever dream of.
7.Can keep you in touch
Active and motivated people have very less time to sit on facebook or any other social "Chat rooms".Blogs can keep you in touch with friends, family, colleagues and relatives.They can easily read about your achievements, activities via your blog.A wise blogger can make his/her own blog as a communication tool.
8. Blog Can Help To Grow Your Business
Does your company have a blog? if not that means you are missing a lot.Most popular and successful companies have their blogs.They update their achievements, new products to the community using the blog.
As an example, your potential clients can read interesting stories about your company success, ideas, strategies, and your blog can turn them into regular paying customers.That's a huge opportunity that lots of small and big firms are not using.
9. Blogging Helps to Improve Writing and Argumentation Skills
Good writing skills and knowledge of English is necessary for everyday life and also in professional career.Blogging can improve your knowledge about in these subject areas.And it gives a huge impact on your writing skills.The more you write, the easier it becomes.With time you will increase confident in your language skills.
10. Blogging Can Become Your Hobby
If you have too much free time and you are constantly browsing facebook and other social media you should really consider start blogging.
You will soon get addicted to this good thing and you will start learning many things.So if you are bored right now then what are you waiting for? You will get a lot of good and new experiences, there is nothing to lose.
Some interesting facts about blogging
- There are approximately 130 million active blog readers in the US right now.
- 90% of companies who blog daily have acquired at least one customer (probably much more) through blogging.
- 80% of the US online consumers trust the information they get from blogs.
- 61% of US online consumers have made a purchase based on recommendations from a blog.
- Blogging is most popular in age group of 20 – 35-year-old. It's over 50% of the total blogging population.

It really is nothing at all. A small incision is made in your skin, a long applicator pushes the implant under the skin, & it's done.
It doesn't hurt, & it's over in a couple of minutes. Arm feels a little bit tender, for the rest of that day or so, but no more than having a bruise. Everyone is different, but it really isn't a big deal.
The numbing is barely felt. A little needle over in seconds.
Have a look on Youtube. You can see it done on there.

Unanswered: Oracle-like binary indexes
Is there an index that is the equivalent of how Oracle defines a binary index?
Used for a low-cardinality like M, F....and such.
The binary indexes noted in DB2 are for BLOBs or other binary columns...a horse of a different color.
I'm likely just getting the naming wrong, since vendor marketing likes making so many the same things "special" to each platform or version.

You probably meant to say "bitmap indexes", not "binary". DB2 builds bitmaps "on the fly" during query execution if the optimizer decides that it is warranted. You cannot create a bitmap index as a database object.

DB2 also has hash indexing which is specified with the ORGANIZE BY KEY SEQUENCE keywords in the Create Table. This is also known as a range-clustered table. Each possible key value in the defined range has a predetermined location in the physical table. The storage required for a range-clustered table must be available when the table is created, and must be sufficient to contain the number of rows in the specified range multiplied by the row size.
Not too many DB2 DBA's use ORGANIZE BY KEY SEQUENCE, but not too many Oracle DBA's use bit map indexes either.M. A. Feldman

Binary can be used as well as bitmap...I've always switched them back and forth.
Which is likely why I'm caught up in this Abbott & Costello routine.
Thanks for the input, the hash indexing sounds interesting,
however, I don't believe it is practical for this exercise.
And now with some more specs given to me, I doubt I could utilize a bitmap since the table won't be static.
Appreciate the answers.

Also, I do not see any kind of an index that has a fifty-fifty split on cardinality being helpful, in the case of M, F, on any database product. I have created indexes on flag fields (Y/N), but in those cases 95+% of the table was one response or the other and we were looking for the value that was on less than 5% of the rows. For instance, Y(es) the row has been processed and we are only looking for the rows that have N(ot) been processed.

text: This really is a question about food, not about the other aspects of certain neighborhoods. We now live just east of Bundy, just south of Santa Monica and thus are ideally situated to enjoy the offerings of Sawtelle/Little Osaka, with easy access to plenty other neighborhoods. But, we are probably going to move, and have the option of a beautiful, renovated townhouse near the top of Pacific Palisades Highlands (with killer views and an amazing kitchen) or a lovely apartment with great amenities in the heart of that little oasis known as Playa Vista (and I work in the Beverly Hills Triangle and fly out of LAX every other week, while my Sig Other works at the Whole Foods Markets in Santa Monica). While I will miss the proximity to Sawtelle terribly, I assume that I will have vastly greater dining options (at least without a lengthy drive) if we select PV over PPH. Yes, from PPH it would not be hard to get to Nobu Malibu, but that's a special occasion thing, not a spur of the moment, I don't feel like cooking thing. There are maybe a couple places in the village of Pacific Palisades (a 10-minute drive), but not much that is inspiring, as far as I know (which isn't much). So many of my need-to-go-to restaurants are in Venice, I think it's a no-brainer. I just need the validation for deciding to turn down a rare chance to live by the mountains and the sea in the same house.

Sovereign Bank Santander Consumer Lied to me about my auto loan and is keeping my title from me. Internet
*Consumer Comment: I will get even with Santander Consumer
*Consumer Comment: What happened?
*Author of original report: Still getting the run around
*General Comment: Any Company
I go to the DMV on the 26th, and they say there is still a lien on my truck. I step outside to call Santander, and get told that I have to through Sovereign about Title release. They give me the number, and I call. The first gentleman I spoke to had no clue about anything, so I ask to speak to a supervisor. I get switched to a customer service leader, and she promises to get back to me as soon as possible after trying to tell me that I should have received a letter. I tell her Multiple times that her company sent me an email stating that the lien would be released to FLDMV on the 26th. This was all Friday.
Now it is Monday, I haven't heard from anyone, so I call again. The first rep tried to transfer me back to Santander without listening to me. After hanging up, I called back and ask to speak to a supervisor again. This one tells me that their Consumer Loans Dept doesn't have a phone number, so they have to send 'tickets' and they take 24-28 hours to process. I am livid at this point, if you send an email with a statement that something will be done at a certain time, you should be held to those standards!!
If this is not fixed soon, I may take legal action! Can they be reported to the BBB?

I will get even with Santander Consumer
AUTHOR: lorddeon - ()
SUBMITTED: Sunday, March 17, 2013POSTED: Sunday, March 17, 2013
They told me that I was unemployed in 2008 and I called them and they gave me a 2 months forberance which means now that they let me skip 2 months and now instead of 60 payments I now owe for 64. I told them that I was not unemployed in 2008 and I can prove it. I ask them for a document that I had signed to say it was ok or a voice recording where I agreed to this. The guy who sounded like he was in India told me I agreed to it and I had to pay.
When I asked to speak to a supervisor he told me that I could not speak to them. I told him it would be stupid tto try and save one thousand dollars so I can pay four thousand dollars. So istead of making the last payment in July of 2012 made the last payment in March of 2013.
I filed a consumer complaint with every state they do business in and of course they sent me a certified letter saying that if I do not make the full payment immediately they will repo my car in one week. I did not take them seriously because they want to rip you off as long as possible so they can make as much money off of you as possible and with a repo they would have to spend money on a repo.
So unlike many people who complain on this company I will wait for my title and then I am going to get all the information I need from my previous job and then call a lawyer and see if we can find other people in my situation and file a class action lawsuit against these predator and scam artist. I do not care the cost I will file a lawsuit against them to recover my loss, but to let them know that not everyone will let them get away with this.
Please stay away from this company and never do business with them. It is better to get a used car than to deal with them. If I hd to do it again I would have let them repo the car and save thirty thousand dollars. Please listen to me and NEVER do business with these jokers.

If I do not get a solid answer by 5 pm tonight about when I am getting my title, I will be pursuing legal action! I have an email called 'Vehicle Payoff Confirmation and Title Advisory' that states that my title should be ready for me as of Friday!

Maurice Gibb Net Worth
Maurice Gibb Net Worth: Maurice Gibb was an English musician, singer and songwriter who had a net worth of $90 million. Maurice Gibb was one third of the successful British pop band, the Bee Gees, with his brothers Robin and Terry. With the Bee Gees, he sold 220 million records and singles internationally and wrote 23 chart-topping songs for other artists. He passed away in 2003.
Born Maurice Ernest Gibb (22 December 1949 – 12 January 2003) in Douglas, Isle of Man, he is best remembered as a member of the singing and songwriting sibling trio the Bee Gees. Along with his twin brother of Robin Gibb and older brother Barry, he founded the musical group in 1958. Being popular for most of their decades of recording music, the trio saw two distinct periods of exceptional success: first as a rock act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and then as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s. They released 23 albums in total, which included hits written by themselves, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists. Some of their hit singles became real disco classics like "Stayin' Alive", "How Deep Is Your Love" and "Night Fever". Even though the trio made their start in England, then they moved to Australia and got back to England again to find major success. All in all, Bee Gees was one of the most successful pop groups ever. Away from the music scene, he was married with Yvonne Gibbs, with whom he had three kids. A great philanthropist as he was, Maurice Gibb loved giving grants and donations to less fortunate people living in the third world countries. This generous practice earned him an award as the most charitable celebrity in the UK at the same time earned him fame in the social media. Gibb passed away on January 12, 2003.
