Corporate Do-Gooder!
June 3, 2007
How can I help my fellow employees get the most out of their benefits program via efficient, lively, multi-platform communications?
I'm in a terrific new Communications job in the very progressive HR department of a global business information company. My initial mandate is to improve Benefits communications which are currently complex, and myriad.
I have a wide-open opportunity to shape how a large employee population accesses healthcare and financial planning information -- and acts on it to get the most they can from their benefits program -- from a company that really wants to do the right thing.
I'm interested in any and all ideas, from program gripes or praise to content to delivery, that would keep your eyes from glazing over everytime you heard from HR about Benefits! Creativity, technology and simplicity (or at least, pitch-ability for budget allocation) will be extremely appreciated.

People's eyes glaze over because communications on this subject are often "junk mail" in a certain sense -- they arrive unbidden while employees are in the middle of doing something else. IMO the best thing to do is make really great, clear information available in a form they can access on their own schedule - ie, when they have set aside some time to think about benefits. A web page (maybe one that requires a corporate ID to enter) would be good for this.
The format of a FAQ is a nice clear way to organize such information. Ask and answer questions in a clear way, and then give links to whatever page gives compete info for each type of plan.
What are the options for health plans?
We offer three main plans, and a number of a optional add-ons.
The main plans are:
1. most expensive, most complete coverage [give key details and link]
2. medium [give key details and link]
3. least expensive, least complete coverage [give key details and link].
For add-ons, we have:
- dental [key details and link]
- vision [key details and link]
- prescription drug [key details and link]
Here is a chart comparing the options. [lots of columns, like "low co-pay (under $100) for routine doctor visits?" "full coverage for hospital stays?" etc. with checkmarks for which plans offer each]
Here are some common situations where each plan would be the best:
Young healthy single person
Young couple looking to start a family
Family with young children
Family with children in high school
Older couple
Older single person
Person or family with pre-existing chronic condition like diabetes

(er, for that last section, I was imagining that for each situation, you would have a little discussion of why that person should choose a given plan. Eg, "You might choose Plan 1 if you're thinking of having kids, because it has the best pre-natal coverage. You might choose Plan 3 if you're young and healthy and single, because your risks are low." etc

I would set up a wiki, and see if you can get a budget to do some exceptionally short informational videos on how to make the choices -- the advice that Dad would give.
Real world examples: The university I work for has a mess for an HR department, and it's not clear how to make use of any choices. You get a stack of paper in the mail when you're put into the HR system in the first place and it's daunting to read through. On top of that, you have a limited amount of time (90 days) to make certain choices, like optional retirement programs, for your ENTIRE CAREER. Of course, most new employees don't find out about this until they've already been enrolled in the Teachers Retirement System.
We need a 'new employee' guide that walks employees through what choices they make and how to make them.
Honestly, I'm not the best person to ask about all this stuff (dammit, Jim, I'm a programmer, not an HR specialist!) but a bunch of our newly full-time student workers came to me when they graduated because I'm the youngest person in the department and have had to make similar choices recently. So I needed to walk them through how to pick a health plan (Ask yourself: "If I get sick, how much can I cover out of cash? What if I need to see a specialist or a doctor that's not in network? How important, financially, is it that I be at work all the time? If that's high, choose a better health plan. If that's low, choose a cheaper health plan. Can I afford the hassle of dealing with an HMO? If not, don't choose one. ) Decision trees might be a good way to walk people through the questions they need to ask themselves.
Your key with this is to a)
be cutesy or fake, b) Make the information that they have questions about instantly accessible without providing ad nauseum detail on the page they're reading -- this is why I suggested you use a wiki, c) NOT waste any of their time by trying to force information in front of them.
in the way you're presenting the information -- this is a serious topic to the people who are accessing the information. Putting little cartoons or Alice Bob and Charlie stories in to make it "entertaining" or whatever will make most cube farm employees roll their eyes and click away in disgust.

I hope you can maintain your enthusiasm and energy. Your company's lucky to have you doing this.
I would imagine that a wiki would be helpful, both as a means of disseminating information and to find out the types of questions your employees are wondering about. You would want to put caveats on it, of course, that the information in the wiki is meant to be helpful, and not authoritative, official company policy. (On preview, SpecialK mentioned this already.)
Other than that, it's hard for me to offer much anecdotal advice, as I've never worked for a company larger than 30 people.

This is all fantastic, and aligned with my own thinking. If you have any wiki examples, or any examples of anything that you think is complex information organized and presented in a wiki-wonderful way, please point me to it. Many many thanks.

I think the advice given so far is pretty good, especially the examples of types of questions people have. I wonder, though, why a wiki (as opposed to just a website)? Do you *really* want employees editing the benefits information? Accidentally (or purposefully) deleting something? I do agree that you need to be able to get feedback from the employees, but you can do that with email or a web form or something like that. From my perspective, a wiki is best suited to collaborative document editing, but I don't think what you want to do here is collaborate, because you are the authority, in terms of knowledge held re:benefits. Also, if you will have specific sections where employees can access their individual account information, then that obviously has to be password protected. But I would suggest that general information regarding plans, etc., be left open, so that spouses, partners, and other relevant parties can read this stuff. (My own experience is that, despite multiple graduate degrees, it usually takes both me and my husband reading and digesting this kind of stuff to make any sense of it.)
Just my 2 cents, YMMV.

Discourse -- I suggested a wiki because it's a good way to have a content management system where you can crosslink heavily without a whole lot of load. I assumed that thinkpiece would have thought about access controls and would protect the pages as per her company policy.
Unfortunately, getting feedback FROM users and having them have honest conversations about this -- true interactivity, web 2.0 style -- is something I've never seen done. It doesn't make sense for benefits because people want to keep their information private, and don't want to let either their other coworkers or their employer know that they have the high end insurance because their family has a huge risk of cancer and they want to go in with the highest coverage possible because it's very likely they'll get sick.... things like that. And that's the kind of information that really matters to a kid going into making these decisions... most of the adults working for the company will know HOW to make these decisions and just need the basic information on how the policies work and what their options are.
I think that things like calculators, decision trees (maybe even done in flash) and a site that has questions to think about -- done in an understated, "here are TOOLS" fashion as opposed to a cutesy HR-major-fresh-out-of-school-oh-do-you-like-my-hair-giggle-giggle kind of way ... which is how most HR communications get done ... is the best way to organize the information.
As for wikis with complex information ... learn and love the Mediawiki's templates, tables, and plugins. I don't know what the best way to present the information would be, I'm sorry ... I'm just a computer nerd without much knowledge beyond how to tell people what decisions I've made and what questions I came up with. Wikipedia is frighteningly complex, so go browse around some of the scientific articles and other articles that are all related to get an idea of the fatures. The power of the wiki is the ability to crosslink on a word, so wherever you have 401k, you can do [[401k]] and it'll be a link to a page about 401ks in general, what options your company provides, and how you can make the choices... use the wiki to create a kind of 'wizard'. It's not the user-power of the wiki that's helfpful here, it's the power of the wiki syntax as a content management system that is.
I'll second the "good to see your enthusiasm for this task"... Just keep in mind what your audience wants and you'll do just fine.

Joyful salad! Our tomatoes were fresh and ripe, so the pairing with cucumbers and onion could hardly go wrong. The star for me, though, was the soaked bread: the texture was soft but not too mushy -- as I had feared it might be -- and it offset the crunchy vegetables to make great little bites. My husband, who isn't too fond of other soaked bread dishes like bread pudding, said he would prefer crunchier croutons, but that would steal away the rustic charm of the salad for me. And, best of all, now I have something to do with the stale bread I have so guiltily been throwing away.

Looks tasty, but one thing wasn't explained (or I missed the explanation): what is the point of soaking the bread?
And why not sourdough bread?

New Times Broward-Palm Beach's Description
This self-proclaimed traditional French bistro at The Atlantic Resort & Spa in Fort Lauderdale adorns its white marble tables with single red roses and sapphire cylinders of sel de Guérande. Smooth scarlet booths line the walls within its cool, clean interior. Hotel guests and locals alike can admire the short but sweet wine list, which boasts over a dozen vintages by the glass and house wines by carafes. Also on the menu are a list of specialty cocktails, including a potent watermelon margarita. Entrée prices at this charming hotel restaurant are generally on the higher side: more than $15 for an eight ounce burger served on an English muffin with Gruyère and peppercorn sauce, and over $40 for a veal chop with truffled mashed potatoes. But the most delectable options on the contemporary menu include those with a French sensibility, particularly roasted sea scallops with porcini mushroom butter, chicken française, mustard crusted snapper and creamsicle crème brûlée.

Comment: Re: Obama knows how many states there are (Score 1) 846
In May 2008 the Obama campaign made a stop in Oregon late in the day. The campaign had, at that point, visited 46 states. Of the 48 contiguous states, they had visited all but two. Oregon brought that up to all but one. He made an off-the-cuff remark, in which he delivered the above quote. But the pause indicated by that ellipsis was quite long. He says "fifty" (clearly, thinking that there are fifty states), then subtracts three for Alaska, Hawaii, and whichever other of the lower 48 the campaign hadn't made any stops in yet, and then says the "... seven states, I think, one left to go," part.
Now, it is funny, because on the face of it it looks like a Harvard-educated guy, runnning for President ferchrissakes, doesn't even know how many states there are. If George Bush flubbed something that badly (as he often did), I would certainly make fun of him. And you're free to make fun of Obama for the flub.
But I wouldn't pretend it meant he really didn't know how many states there are.

Tabata, a form of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), is one of the hottest trends in fitness right now, with legions of exercisers doing high-intensity Tabata-style workouts, including most notably the CrossFit community. In this exclusive ACE-sponsored study, researchers examined the physiological responses to a Tabata-style workout to determine if it is really as effective as many believe it to be.
CrossFit is, arguably, the hottest trend in fitness these days, with legions of devotees performing WODs (workouts of the day). But are these short, high-intensity workouts enough to get you fit? This ACE-sponsored study, which looked at the calorie burn and intensity of two popular CrossFit workouts, has the answer.

Brief Daily Periods of Binocular Vision Prevent Deprivation-Induced Acuity Loss
Current Biology, Volume 13, Issue 19, 30 September 2003, Pages 1704-1708
Donald E. Mitchell, Peter C. Kind, Frank Sengpiel and Kathryn Murphy
SummaryThe role of experience in the development of the central visual pathways has been explored in the past through examination of the consequences of imposed periods of continuously abnormal or biased visual input [[1–3]]. The massive changes in the visual cortex (area 17) induced by selected early visual experience, especially monocular deprivation (MD) or experience (ME) where patterned visual input is provided to just one eye [[2, 3]], are accompanied by profound and long-standing visual deficits [[4, 5]]. Although the use of exclusively abnormal experience permits identification of those aspects of the visual cortex and of visual function that can be influenced by visual experience during development, this approach may provide a distorted view of the nature of the role of visual experience because of the absence of any normal visual input. In this study a different approach was used whereby animals were provided daily with separate periods of normal (i.e., binocular exposure) and abnormal (monocular exposure) visual experience. We show that 2 hr of daily normal concordant binocular experience (BE) can outweigh or protect against much longer periods of monocular deprivation (MD) and permit the development of normal visual acuities in the two eyes. This result is not what would be expected if all visual input had equal influence on visual development.

Protein Synthesis-Independent Plasticity Mediates Rapid and Precise Recovery of Deprived Eye Responses
Neuron, Volume 48, Issue 2, 20 October 2005, Pages 329-343
Thomas E. Krahe, Alexandre E. Medina, Ruben E. de Bittencourt-Navarrete, Raymond J. Colello and Ary S. Ramoa
SummaryMonocular deprivation (MD) for a few days during a critical period of development leads to loss of cortical responses to stimulation of the deprived eye. Despite the profound effects of MD on cortical function, optical imaging of intrinsic signals and single-unit recordings revealed that deprived eye responses and orientation selectivity recovered a few hours after restoration of normal binocular vision. Moreover, recovery of deprived eye responses was not dependent upon mRNA translation, but required cortical activity. Interestingly, this fast recovery and protein synthesis independence was restricted to the hemisphere contralateral to the previously deprived eye. Collectively, these results implicate a relatively simple mechanistic process in the reactivation of a latent set of connections following restoration of binocular vision and provide new insight into how recovery of cortical function can rapidly occur in response to changes in sensory experience.

Development and Plasticity of the Primary Visual Cortex
Neuron, Volume 75, Issue 2, 26 July 2012, Pages 230-249
J. Sebastian Espinosa and Michael P. Stryker
SummaryHubel and Wiesel began the modern study of development and plasticity of primary visual cortex (V1), discovering response properties of cortical neurons that distinguished them from their inputs and that were arranged in a functional architecture. Their findings revealed an early innate period of development and a later critical period of dramatic experience-dependent plasticity. Recent studies have used rodents to benefit from biochemistry and genetics. The roles of spontaneous neural activity and molecular signaling in innate, experience-independent development have been clarified, as have the later roles of visual experience. Plasticity produced by monocular visual deprivation (MD) has been dissected into stages governed by distinct signaling mechanisms, some of whose molecular players are known. Many crucial questions remain, but new tools for perturbing cortical cells and measuring plasticity at the level of changes in connections among identified neurons now exist. The future for the study of V1 to illuminate cortical development and plasticity is bright.

- Experience-dependent plasticity is crucial for the precise formation of neuronal connections during development. It is generally thought to depend on Hebbian forms of synaptic plasticity. In addition, neurons possess other, homeostatic means of compensating for changes in sensory input, but their role in cortical plasticity is unclear. We used two-photon calcium imaging to investigate whether homeostatic response regulation contributes to changes of eye-specific responsiveness after monocular deprivation (MD) in mouse visual cortex. Short MD durations decreased deprived-eye responses in neurons with binocular input. Longer MD periods strengthened open-eye responses, and surprisingly, also increased deprived-eye responses in neurons devoid of open-eye input. These bidirectional response adjustments effectively preserved the net visual drive for each neuron. Our finding that deprived-eye responses were either weaker or stronger after MD, depending on the amount of open-eye input a cell received, argues for both Hebbian and homeostatic mechanisms regulating neuronal responsiveness during experience-dependent plasticity.

Helping You With Info On The Diagnosis And
Treatment Of Causes Of Abdominal Pain & Related Medical Problems
"I have been having really bad pain in my abdominal area just below my sternum. The pain has spread to my right lower abdomen and back.
I have been to four doctors and have had two CT scans one with barium and the other one without and one abdominal ultrasound as well. I have also had blood work done.
All tests came back normal. I have been in pain for a month now and no doctor can figure out the cause", reports a patient.
Stomach ache, belly pain, tummy ache or tummy pain are different names used to describe pain in the abdomen and it could be a real pain, often difficult to diagnose. "There it was, glowing on the computer screen next to each patient's name, and repeated again, up on the emergency-department tracking board: "Abd Pn," the abbreviation for abdominal pain. It appeared again and again , 12 times", reports the TIME magazine of February 2nd 2011, in the article, "Why Belly Pain Is Such a Headache for ED Doctors" (italics ours).
No. Not to Emergency Department doctors alone. Pain in the abdomen remains one of the most common reasons why people go to see family doctors (GPs), gynecologists, surgeons, urologists, and indeed many other specialists. Abdominal or bowel pain is as common as the common cold, and it is a frequent cause of misery to millions of children, women and men worldwide on a daily basis.
Such misery could be made worse if the cause of pain remains elusive despite visits to the doctor, or inability to find a lasting remedy for the pain.
Is that your experience?
The following are two common causes of abdominal pain and how getting the diagnosis right, could mean restoring good health and normal quality of life to the sufferer in good time, or a matter of life and death if there is delay in the diagnosis or worse still, a wrong diagnosis.
Aaron was 12 years old. He developed pain in the upper abdomen one afternoon.
The pain started as a mild ache, but soon became worse over night. By breakfast time the next morning, he hardly could eat anything. He felt like vomiting and was very tired.
By dinner time, the pain had moved over from the upper "stomach" down to the lower right side of the abdomen. Laughing and moving made the pain worse. He had an episode of loose stool. He was given some homemade remedies by mum and asked to go to bed.
At about 4am, he woke up and vomited once. He could not walk without bending forward and with a tilt to the right side. All he wanted to do was lie still in bed.
He was taken to his local hospital and was diagnosed with acute appendicitis.
He was promptly taken to theatre within a few hours of arrival to the hospital by the duty surgeons and operated upon. He was found to have a ruptured appendicitis, with lots of pus inside his abdomen.
Aaron was then kept in hospital longer than is usual for straight forward appendix operation, given antibiotics for days through his vein and then discharged home.
Any further delay or misdiagnosis could have made things worse; it could have lead to an avoidable death from appendicitis, which is a very common cause of abdominal pain.
That is a very typical story for people with appendicitis. It is a very common problem, often very straight forward to diagnose and treat, but could sometimes present serious diagnostic difficulties.
Rosemell is 44 years old. She developed sudden onset severe lower right sided abdominal pain. The pain was continuous, spreads from the lower right abdomen to her back, right hip and then to her upper thigh.
She was given some pain killers, which only took the edge off the pain. She felt like vomiting at a point but did not.
She was taken to the local Emergency department. She was suspected to be having appendicitis. Blood tests done for appendicitis were normal. Her urine test came back normal too. her pregnancy test was also negative. She was admitted over night without any further testing or scanning and was told that she needs to be "observed till the morning".
For some reasons her pain subsided and she was discharged home.
Rosemell returned two days later with severe pain on the right lower abdomen again, and a scan of the abdomen revealed a large twisted ovarian cyst. She was taken to theater, operated upon and a 11cm x 9 cm twisted cyst was removed from her right ovary.
A more careful and thorough approach would have saved Rosemell the additional agony of having to bear her abdominal pain longer than she had to.
True, because of the number of organs in the abdomen, the diagnosis of the cause of a tummy pain could be difficult. However, a proper understanding of the abdomen, the structures in each region and how the bowels work could help in reducing the difficulty in knowing what might be wrong, before turning up to see your doctor.
Do you or your loved one suffer with chronic abdominal pain? Or are you looking for explanation for the cause of pain on your right lower abdomen or on the left abdomen or indeed anywhere in the abdomen? Are you a lady seeking help with women health issues like menstrual cramps, choosing contraceptive pills, pregnancy related matters, and problems with urinary incontinence and more?
Here at the Abdominal Pain Centre, we aim: to provide a comprehensive wealth of information free of charge on causes, recognition, investigations, current treatment options available and where appropriate, actions that can be taken to prevent abdominal pain in both men and women and from infancy to old age.

terrific layering vest.
April 26, 2013
very warm vest. thin enough to layer. It is fitted but not tight. A go to piece with quality construction. better then some other NF products.
Pros: Build quality, Performance, Ease of useVery Strange Fit
January 14, 2013
I was looking forward to receiving this vest. I have the Nuptse down jacket in an XS, so I purchased a Small for me and a Large for my MIL. This vest fits about two sizes smaller than the Nuptse (very form-fitting). I couldn't even get the Small vest to close and the Large vest fit around my hips but it was extremely loose around the bust. It is a longer vest (I think about 26" length) so maybe that's why? Had to return both vests because of the sizing. If you have a very slim, boyish figure, maybe this vest could work for you. Otherwise, it's lightweight and warm: the reasons I purchased it in the first place.
Pros: Build quality, Cons: Bad design, odd sizingThe North Face Women's Thunder Micro Vest Photo
Brilliant Blue, Majestic Red and TNF Black/ TNF Black.
Available sizes, while supplies last, include size xs, size small, size medium, size large and size extra large: xs, s, m, l, xl.

Injury report: Farris, Manning, Phillips probable for Miami
After missing two games with an ankle injury, center Caleb Farris is expected to be back when the Hokies play at Miami on Thursday.
Farris is listed as probable on Virginia Tech's injury report, along with cornerback Donaldven Manning (adductor) and fullback Joey Phillips (head).
Follow me on Twitter and Facebook.
If healthy, Farris is expected to start at center, where the Hokies are lack depth. Opening day starter Andrew Miller was lost for the year after breaking his leg against Duke, forcing senior Michael Via to slide over from guard. Farris, a sophomore from Lexington, had worked some at center and guard prior to suffering the ankle injury at North Carolina.
"I don't think he's totally 100 percent, but I tell you, he's really toughed it out," head coach Frank Beamer said earlier today. "Wants to play very much. I think he's going to be able to play, but what percentage healthy, I couldn't tell you exactly."
Offensive line coach Curt Newsome told Beamer's website earlier this week that Farris would start at center if healthy, allowing the Hokies to rotate Via, Brent Benedict and David Wang at the guard spots. Wang, who has been limited by ankle and knee injuries the last few weeks, was not listed on the injury report, meaning he's expected to play.
- Out for Season: OT Nick Acree (knee), FB Riley Beiro (shoulder), WR D.J. Coles (knee), C Andrew Miller (ankle)
- Probable: C Caleb Farris (ankle), Donaldven Manning (adductor), Joey Phillips (head)
Note: If a player is not listed, he is expected to play Thursday, even if he spent time in blue (limited contact) or green (no contact) during the week.
Game Status: Out = Player will not play, Doubtful = 25% chance a player will play, Questionable = 50% chance a player will play, Probable = 75%+ chance a player will play.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Manning dealt revenge, not justice
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Must the government take every possible ounce of flesh from Pfc. Bradley Manning in punishing him for his massive data dump to WikiLeaks? The woeful answer is yes.
Thursday, the military judge in Manning's trial decided not to drop the most serious — and least supportable — charge against him, "aiding the enemy." The government shouldn't have brought this charge in the first place. Whatever you think of Manning, it sets a terrible precedent for whistle-blowers. And the only gain is the possibility of a life sentence for a 25-year-old who has already pled guilty to charges that could put him in prison for 20 years. This is about revenge, not justice.
Manning's leak was, of course, legion. In 2009, he gave WikiLeaks reams of diplomatic cables, logs from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, files from Guantanamo, intelligence memos, and the video of an Apache helicopter attack in Iraq that showed the "collateral" death of a Reuters photographer and his driver. Manning has admitted to the leaks, and he pled guilty to 10 of the counts against him. But he says he's not guilty of aiding the enemy because he didn't intend the publication of the leaked material to help terrorist groups like al-Qaida.
Here's what the law says: The charge applies to "any person who aids, or attempts to aid, the enemy with arms, ammunition, supplies, money, or other things; or without proper authority, knowingly harbours or protects or gives intelligence to, or communicates or corresponds with or holds any intercourse with the enemy, either directly or indirectly."
The language is broad — the judge didn't make this up out of whole cloth. But in other cases, courts have required a defendant to specifically intend to help the enemy. The charge has been reserved for traitors who whisper in the ears of U.S. foes. As Yochai Benkler, one of the defence experts at Manning's trial, wrote in March in the New Republic, the charge of aiding the enemy was previously used "in hard-core cases where somebody handed over information about troop movements directly to someone the collaborator believed to be 'the enemy,' to American POWs collaborating with North Korean captors, or to a German-American citizen who was part of a German sabotage team during the Second World War."
None of this fits with the facts surrounding Bradley Manning. For the government and the military, his leaks were destructive and crazy-making. But he says he did it to spark public debate. He had increasing doubts about the war, and he wanted to expose American wrongdoing so the public would know what was happening. "I felt that we were risking so much for people that seemed unwilling to cooperate with us, leading to frustration and anger on both sides. I began to become depressed with the situation that we found ourselves increasingly mired in year after year," Manning said in court earlier this year. "I also believed the detailed analysis of the data over a long period of time by different sectors of society might cause society to re-evaluate the need or even the desire to even to engage in counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations that ignore the complex dynamics of the people living in the affected environment everyday."
To justify Thursday's ruling, prosecutors argued that "the evidence will show that the accused knowingly gave intelligence to the enemy." The proof was that some of the documents, once online, reached Osama bin Laden and were found on his computer. In other words, by giving the information to WikiLeaks, Manning was giving it to the terrorists. This is a shockingly broad interpretation of a law that was written too sweepingly. It implicates all kinds of people who publish things that could hurt U.S. interests by tarnishing our image abroad.
Journalists do this routinely; So do plenty of people on social media. It's called free speech.
Most of the critics have no access to the kinds of damaging goods that Manning had. But now when they do, they will have to fear that publishing it is the legal equivalent of deliberately handing it to terrorists. As Benkler points out, it doesn't matter if the publishing platform is WikiLeaks or The New York Times or Twitter. And this theory of aiding the enemy "is unprecedented in modern American history." You have to go back to the Civil War, and a case in which a Union officer gave a newspaper in Virginia rosters of Union soldiers, to find a case like Manning's.
If Manning spends the rest of his life in prison for an act of defiance in his early 20s, this will follow upon conditions of pretrial detention that, in a major understatement, the judge found to be "excessive." Manley was held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day during his nine months in a military brig. He had to sleep naked, without sheets or pillows. He had no way to exercise. Supposedly, this was because he was a suicide risk, but it looks much more like another form of revenge.
At this point, not even Manning is arguing that he should go free. His case isn't about guilt or innocence. It's about proportionality. The government and the court are in danger of crossing the line into a dark place. There is enough room to punish Bradley Manning without going there, and more than enough reason to stay away.

Let JESUS live powerfully
in your soul
and do
His redemptive work
through you.
Some inspirational thoughts selected from the teaching and writings of the Servant of God; Mother Paula Sophia Tajber:
Pathway to
Spiritual enrichment:
- No one is in a position to uplift modern man only Jesus living in us.
- To live in Jesus Christ is to give to Him ourselves and to be one with Him in thought, imagination, will, memory, emotions and consciousness.
- The soul in whom God dwells, as a guest is always cheerful.
- Remember to follow your inner ways – and not the ways of the world. Truthfully, everything is necessary, but the most important lesson of all, which you must learn is to live with God. This is the greatest wisdom everyone must possess and share with the world.
Amazing adventure with Jesus:
- Learning to live with God is such an important quest for the soul that there is nothing more advantageous under the sun, which can bring joy and life everlasting to mankind.
- Is there anything more beautiful than a gleaming reflection of the soul free from sin, where God in the Blessed Trinity sees a reflection of Himself?
- It is enough for me to know that Jesus knows me, loves me and is my complete happiness!
- We should find happiness in the very fact that the Eternal God depends upon man to strive for his own eternal happiness.
- If the soul is spiritually happy, it is easier to become good.
- What happiness it is to give everything to Him, who is everything for everyone!
- If am happy with Christ's presence within me, then I must radiate and share this happiness with others through love and work.
- Love is happiness.
- A holy soul is a happy soul, and only a person who is happy can sow that happiness which comes from God, for God lives and it is God in him who causes him to bring happiness to all.
- To be holy means nothing more that to be happy and spread that happiness around you.
- Oh, if only the most hardened sinner would understand and believe that God loves him; that God is gently and sweetly calling him; that God wants to clothe him in the beautiful robes of His only Son; if this sinner would illuminate his soul with God's grace and love, then would instantly become a saint.
- Do not be sad that you sometimes fall. The sad part is when you do fall and do not pick yourself up immediately. That is worse than the fall.
- Inner peace is a sign of true humility.
- If you are humble, you are quiet.
- From the moment of His conception as Son of Man, God's life was shrouded in mystery. What do you learn from this? Can you see how deeply the reality of God's majesty is hidden? This is a lesson for you: to be a bride of God Himself, you must have as admirable a humility as did God, quiet, hidden, yet exerting His influence from eternity. Therefore, learn to exhibit your greatness by quietly bearing all sufferings, injustice, illness and work, so that the Majesty of God hidden within you suffers no damage.
- The greater your own annihilation is before God, the greater God's light will shine within you.
Inner peace:
- God desires to abide in immortal souls with His heavenly peace. He wants to bring heaven to all souls on this earth – the same heaven His Godly soul bears within.
- The mind is strengthened when peace and harmony reign in the spiritual aspects of our lives, regardless of all outward conditions. The virtues of faith, hope and charity become visible and draw strength from the fountain of the Eternal Being.
- Always be on guard to maintain a clear atmosphere, full of light, good disposition, happiness and faith, then the soul will be free from the soot of inert nature.
- God is everlasting perfection. Therefore, man was created and given life by perfection itself. To recognize this truth is joy to the spirit. I was created by Perfection – to perfect myself. Therefore, perfecting myself is an easy task. My responsibility: to know this Perfection, to love Him and become an imitation of Him.
- We must try to sanctify our souls to bring joy to Jesus, that He may find in us what He so carefully implanted – His own sanctification.
Inner life:
- The inner life may seem difficult to you. But remember, everything is difficult for anyone who does not know how to love or does not want to love God.
- The wonders of the inner life are so great, so limitless and deep, that the human mind cannot comprehend them. With the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, man will understand his own greatness in God and God in him.
- Only the soul that never stops perfecting its inner life is truly useful. It lends a spiritual inner-life character to all outward and physical duties.

Can any midwives or other experts weigh in on their opinion on when it is time to transfer from a homebirth to hospital? Here is a list of my thoughts:
-Persistant vital sign abnormalities on part of mom (fever, hypotension)
-Fetal heart tone abnormalities (normal for variation of fetal heart tones in labor, how do you tell what is normal variation and what is concerning?)
-Bleeding (more than expected/usual)
-Intractable pain (labor pain admittedly being very severe but does seem like there is at least some predictability of it)
-Not progressing (at what point would you call it quits?)

ABSTRACT: We describe a new methodology for designing technologies for and with families called technology probes. Technology probes are simple, flexible, adaptable technologies introduced into families' homes with three interdisciplinary goals: the social science goal of collecting data about the use of the technology in a real-world setting, the engineering goal of field-testing the technology, and the design goal of inspiring users and designers to think about new technologies. We present the results of designing and deploying two technology probes, the MessageProbe and the VideoProbe, with families in France, Sweden, and the U.S. We conclude with our plans for creating new technologies based on our experiences.02/2003; -
