Doctors in Blue Cross alternative quality contract also changed how they treated Medicare patients
The Boston Globe, August 28, 2013
In Massachusetts, more than 18,000 doctors care for nearly 700,000 Blue Cross Blue Shield members under an alternative way of paying for medical treatment that is meant to control costs and reward physician groups that keep patients healthier. These physicians may be changing how they treat their other patients as well, a new study suggests. Researchers wanted to find out whether there is "spill over" in practices that care for Blue Cross members as part of the insurer's "alternative quality contract" to patients in the practices who are insured by Medicare. They found there was an impact on controlling costs of treating Medicare patients, but not for improving quality.

February 1996 was a portentous month for Andrew Wakefield. The previous month he had been approached by Solicitor Richard Barr, an attorney in the small Dawbarns firm in Norfolk, England, who asked him to be an expert for Barr in a planned class action lawsuit against vaccine-makers. The proposed suit, at this early stage, was concerned with the safety of certain vaccines (the MR and then the MMR) and would be brought by parents, who claimed that their children experienced a variety of disabilities as a result of adverse reactions to vaccines. Wakefield was only vaguely aware of the possible implications for his career and life of accepting Barr's offer. He knew that there were powerful medical, pharmaceutical and political forces "out there" which had huge domains to protect, and he suspected that if he waded into the issue of vaccine safety he might get caught in some of the riptides of reaction that would almost certainly ensue. On the other hand, he also knew from his medical training and sense of identity as a doctor that concerns of parents about vaccine safety, which had increasingly been his interest in the previous few years, ought not to be ignored. Or, to put it differently, parental concerns about vaccine safety needed to be honored. He talked with his wife and another member on the medical faculty of the Royal Free Hospital in London, where Wakefield was then a Senior Lecturer in Medicine and Histopathology, about becoming an expert witness. He was undecided.
Then, in February, came the decisive phone call. It wasn't from Solicitor Barr asking him to hurry up and make up his mind or from his medical colleague giving further advice. It was from a woman in the North of England whose child was severely autistic and who had, according to her, become so after the administration of a vaccine. Her husband was infirm. She was, literally, at her wits end, and felt that there was no one in government or the medical community that was willing to provide either answers to her or help for her son. Her words over the phone were chilling: "When I go (and she was an older mother to begin with), I will be taking my son with me."
Upon hearing her words, Dr. Wakefield was gripped with a mingled sense of helplessness and responsibility. He would do whatever he could, even in a small way, to make sure not only that the woman's cries were heard, but that she might have good information and, if possible, treatment for her son's condition. Yet he had, at that time, little knowledge of autism. In fact he was first introduced to the possible connection of a vaccine and autism through a May 1995 phone call (see below). But his training was as a gastroenterologist, and the focus of his career, before getting into academic medicine in the late 1980s (he was born in 1956), was in surgery on the gastrointestinal tract, popularly known as "the gut." But he knew a lot about vaccines, for a reason I will state below, and thought that there was a way that he could provide help, however little, in the woman's situation. He would, then, sign up to be an expert for Richard Barr. He called Barr soon thereafter and said that he was on board for the case. That decision, in all its simplicity, was the decision that has led ultimately to the countless articles written about him and, most recently, to the drama unfolding before the General Medical Council.

What a Great Jacket!!!
Finally got the Correct size jacket (one of the gambles you take buying things online you cannot try on) and I cannot say how happy I am with this. Its my 5th Schott jacket and its Perfect, light comfortable and on the motorbike its amazing, perfect for Southern CA weather. The Co's return/exchange policy is also Top Notch!!!

First off I was a little worried about ordering online with out trying it on. I have a vintage schott from the late 60's and although that is a XL it was a lil tight.
I am 6ft 1 and between 230-240 and all I have to say is the 2XL fits like a dream. I am very pleased.
I am not a rider, however its very comfortable for everyday wear.
Shipping was very fast due to the fact I live right near the warehouse.

Very good product however, watch for small sizes. I am 5'5" 180 lb and ordered a large. It came marked large but arms are tight and sleeves are short.

Just received 664, love it for what it's meant to be
It's a minimalist jacket, just 1 inside pocket, no wind flaps on main or wrist zippers, no bi-swing back or footballs. BUT it's classy, lightweight and you can wear it all the time, unlike my bulkier 118L and 141. It's like a leather sweat. When I sit down for a cold one I keep it on, the 118L and 141 come off.
I'm 6'1", 230lbs and the 2XL fits perfect. Sleeves are 1" above knuckles with arms at my side, chest area leaves just enough room for a sweat underneath, neck and length are perfect. For riding it's very comfortable on the Road Glide with std bars and on the V-Strom 1000 (don't miss the bi-swing) but the sleeves get short on the Victory Hammer with 12" apes and 2" peg extensions, you'll need the bi-swing there (more lay-back position). It won't provide the protection of thicker leather in a high speed get-off so use this for more leisurely rides. Like to see this style with the 141's features included, but keep the 664 just like it is.
Thanks Gail for great sizing tips and to everyone on the floor for making a great product.

text: Differentiated Instruction for All Learners (DIAL)AboutFact Sheet/Course PlanCurriculumCourse DescriptionsProgram OutcomesThe DIAL graduate program prepares educators to meet the diverse learning needs of all students, including those who are at risk of not reaching their educational and personal potential. The DIAL graduate program is: 100% Online Accepted by 49/50 state departments of education (Alabama remains non-commital) NCATE and CAEP accredited DIAL online students/graduates attend from California to Virginia, Wyoming to Texas and three different countries. The DIAL program prepares educators to: Develop and expand professional commitment and competence to promote increased student performance. Understand socioeconomic, cultural and other impacts that affect teaching, learning and student achievement. Appreciate the benefits of collaboration with peers, administrators, parents and community partners in maintaining accountability for student performance. Gain self-awareness of values and ethics that guide responsible and responsive classroom instruction. Develop skills in differentiated instruction, reflection and assessment to ensure the success of all students. Upon completion of this master's program, Wisconsin teachers will also qualify for an Alternative Education License (WI 952), which allows a person who already holds a Wisconsin teaching license to teach in alternative education programs in grades 6-12. Degree requirements Candidates must meet the following criteria: Completion of the coursework or its equivalent with a minimum GPA of 3.00 (on a 4.00 scale). Grades below C (2.00) are not counted toward meeting degree requirements. Successful completion of all three program gates. Submit an application for degree completion. 30 credits as follows: TDE 612 Action Research in Education, 3 cr. TDE 615 Technology in Today's Classroom, 3 cr. TDE 616 Perspectives in American Education, 3 cr. TDE 618 Advanced Educational Psychology, 3 cr. TDE 628 Classroom Strategies and Practices, 3 cr.

TDE 658 Analyzing Student Achievement in Diverse Learning Contexts, 3 cr. We cater to teachers who want to be professionals in every sense of the word. Our program is not easy, but it builds not only thorough expertise, but the confidence that comes with it. Once you graduate you will be a member of DIAL forever--because what you will learn sticks. What students and graduates are saying about the DIAL MAE Program: This program has changed me inside and out. I believe it will make me a better teacher, a better mother, and a better person. -Alisa Jeske – DIAL Graduate - 2011 The big draw about DIAL for me was to be grouped with other professionals that were hopeful about making a difference in students who struggle with school. I wanted something that applied to what I was doing now! DIAL was right on target all the way through. -Shannon Blackmore, DIAL Graduate - Wyoming - 2011 As a graduate of the D.I.A.L. Master's in Education program at Marian University I feel competent to work with all students. The program was rigorous and relevant. I always felt challenged and inspired by what I was learning -Laura Lindberg, DIAL Graduate – Wisconsin – 2010 I would, and have, recommended this program to anyone willing to listen to me rave about it. -Rocky Mondello, DIAL Graduate - Waupaca Middle School Panther Academy Teacher and Coach The online format also made it possible for a full-time teacher, wife, and mother of two busy teenagers to complete a goal long overdue. Thank you to all that made this possible! Not only was it a very valuable learning experience for me but, finally! - a program that was pertinent to my area of instruction. Throughout the entire experience I felt very supported, even more so than in many of my direct-instruction college and post-baccalaureate courses. -Jennifer Evans, DIAL Graduate, Milwaukee – 2011 Frankly, I feel closer to some of the professors I met online in this program than to those with whom I have worked in a traditional university setting. As a graduate of DIAL, I am not alone, but part of a movement to help kids reach their potential. Marian University is so serious about this program, that I was elected from the student body to serve on the committee to choose a new Dean for the School of Education, even though I had only spent two days on campus. I was also given a Graduate Merit Scholarship after my first course, based on my academic achievement. Highly unusual in most online programs, but Marian extends the same opportunities to online learners as to the students in its campus program. -Sid Vineburg, DIAL Graduate – Green Bay - 2010 I decided to jump head first into the 21st century and give it a try. I am sure glad that I did! The program provided all that was promised: library assistance, tech support, and quick responses from its instructors. It also provided flexibility for a full-time teacher to establish when and where learning was going to take place throughout the week. I was able to complete assignments and participate in discussion boards when my busy schedule allowed. That's not to say that the program was easier than traditional programs; I was able to piece together a different schedule each week surrounding my teaching requirements and my course requirements. The program may actually be more difficult due to the constant discussion that took place 24-7 within each courseshell. Students were discussing various topics relating to our course readings and applications in today's schools. Most notably, I walked away from the DIAL program with a greater sense of urgency in advocating for at-risk students, not only in my classroom but in my school. Researched-driven decision-making resonated throughout the program in regards towards children and education. The DIAL program was taught by teachers whose passion is standing up for at-risk students and improving schools. In the end, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience obtaining my master's degree through the delivery of on-line instruction. It met and surpassed my number one priority: a degree that makes me a better educator impacting the lives of students. -Eric Bartelme – 3rd grade teacher, Brandon WI - DIAL Graduate 2010 I have learned a lot from this course and have truly been enlightened. I feel so blessed to be granted the opportunity of being included in this program. You have my my sincerest gratitude. -Estrella Lorenzo. DIAL Graduate – Baltimore MD – 2013 Graduate What the DIAL Master of Arts in Education contributes to the field of education isimportant for educators and the lives they touch. Don't let anyone ever change the DIAL Program! -Debra Lins, Principal - Alternative Education License - Beaver Dam, WI - 2012

"We currently offer two corn whiskies (White Dog & Black Dog) made from locally-grown white corn. We feel that using white corn sets our products aside from other similar ones by imparting a sweeter, floral taste and aroma. The Black Dog is made using the same white corn except that we also "dark fire" the corn in our miniature tobacco barn, giving the product a smoky, sweet flavor similar to that of certain Scotch whiskies."

Sam Houston American Straight Whiskey
"A limited production American straight whiskey made with Kentucky Bourbon. Perfectly aged in charred white oak barrels and hand selected for its exceptional characteristics and golden amber color. The flavor signature is bold and unique much like Sam Houston himself. The aroma brings to mind hints of caramel and vanilla which combine with the rich smoky texture to form a perfect union. A smooth and distinctive whiskey in honor of a distinguished man."

libburnia is a project comprised of libraries and binaries for reading, mastering, and writing optical discs. It provides libburn, a CD/DVD/BD burn library, libisofs, a manipulation library for ISO 9660 filesystems, and libisoburn, a ISO 9660 multi-session library. On top of them there is cdrskin, a cdrecord emulator, and xorriso, a all-in-one application for ISO 9660 multi-session operations which additionaly provides a limited emulation of mkisofs.
fio is an I/O tool meant to be used both for benchmark and stress/hardware verification. It has support for 19 different types of I/O engines (sync, mmap, libaio, posixaio, SG v3, splice, null, network, syslet, guasi, solarisaio, and more), I/O priorities (for newer Linux kernels), rate I/O, forked or threaded jobs, and much more. It can work on block devices as well as files. fio accepts job descriptions in a simple-to-understand text format. Several example job files are included. fio displays all sorts of I/O performance information, including complete IO latencies and percentiles. Fio is in wide use in many places, for both benchmarking, QA, and verification purposes. It supports Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OS X, OpenSolaris, AIX, HP-UX, Android, and Windows.
muser lists processes which have a given directory (or cwd if not specified) as a parent of their current working directory (thus making it impossible to unmount that directory if it is a mount point). This script has overlapping functionality with the fuser program from the psmisc package, but has the advantage that it works on SMB mounts. Additionally, it provides a color, formatted listing of process IDs, executable names, current working directories, and the command lines used to run the programs. It works with varying-sized /proc/*/cwd fields.
netview lets you browse, mount, and unmount SMB shares using any browser, but especially Konqueror or any browser which is also a file manager. It provides actual mounting of shares so you can edit files on them. It addes mounted shares to /etc/fstab automatically so they will be remounted, and manages storage of passwords in a $HOME/.smbpasswd file for later auto-mounting of shares.
GNUnet is a peer-to-peer framework with focus on providing security. All peer-to-peer messages in the network are confidential and authenticated. The framework provides a transport abstraction layer and can currently encapsulate the network traffic in UDP, TCP, HTTP, HTTPS, or direct 802.11 (WLAN). GNUnet supports accounting to provide contributing nodes with better service. The services built on top of the framework include anonymous file sharing and a virtual network providing IPv4-IPv6 transition via protocol translation over the P2P network.

Guest Blog Post: Sketch Your Dream Prom Dress Winner!
Tuesday, May 29th, 2012My Prom
by Samantha Bryant
Friday night (May 25) was my senior prom, and I was so excited to wear my dream design created by David's Bridal.
I painted my nails gold to match the gold sequins on the dress. I then streaked my hair with pale pink dye, because … I'm not really sure
why, but why not? A friend French-braided both sides of my hair and
pulled it into a tucked/twisted bun. It looked really neat with all the pale pink running through it. I added some flower clips that I made with black petals and sequins.
For my date, I went with a good friend named Merlin. I sewed black sequins onto his bow tie so that he would match my hair clips and dress. Our group of about 25 people took a limousine into Washington, D.C., for dinner. My dress had so many layers that when I sat down I basically took up two seats in the limo! No one seemed to mind though.
We danced at prom for about two hours and ended the night at a quaint all-night diner. Everyone commented on how wonderful I looked in my dress. I was constantly overwhelmed with how lucky I was to have been a part of this contest.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Regardless of hair type or whether it's the fear of frizzy or flat hair, most women battle with the heat and humidity of summer.
There are many products and styles to assist with the frizz and flat. Here are a few helpful tips to beat the heat.
Go mod with a wide headband. Pull your hair away from your face with a stylish headband to keep cool.
Go for a relaxed look with a stylish braid. If you have longer locks, plait your hair in into a side braid to keep your hair off of your neck while showcasing your length. Also, the fishtail braid has reappeared on the fashion scene.
For shorter hair, braid from the root of the hair at the part to the end of your hair near your face and secure with a bobby pin or small elastic band. This will keep the hair away from your face and out of the way. This is also a great way to deal with the dreaded bang grow-out.
Go for a classic bun -- high or low. A ballerina bun with hair pulled tight to the back or top of the head is a chic look. You can also do the bun behind one ear with your hair parted to the side for a night out.
With the sock bun trick -- which exploded online over the past year, especially on Pinterest-- you can do a perfect bun very easily. WV Style Team reader Diana Vorhees shared on Twitter: "A sock bun is cute, easy and a perfect last touch to a summer dress for a humid night out or day at work."
If the sock bun hasn't worked for you, check out a "bun ring" or "bun donut." A Conair Bun Maker retails for $3.49, and a mesh hair donut at Charlotte Russe is less than $4. The bun tools are typically mesh and the texture helps your hair cling to it better, which makes starting the bun and rolling it a bit easier.
To use a bun donut, pull your hair back into a ponytail where you want the bun to be, and secure it with an elastic band. Pull your ponytail through the center of the hair donut and roll your hair over the ring as you roll the ring closer to your scalp. No bobby pins are needed; the ring holds the hair securely into place. If needed, a little spray of hairspray will help tame fly-aways.

New & classic episodes on demand
Liverpool-based legal secretary turned sensation Rebecca Ferguson is best known for being the runner-up in the British televised singing competition The X Factor, the first woman to reach that level in the show's then seven-year run. Having been singing and writing songs since her childhood, Ferguson's first reach for the spotlight was in 2004, when she first auditioned for The X Factor but was thwarted by shyness and lack of confidence. By 2010 she was ready for another try, this time impressing X Factor judges with her smoky, poignant voice and diverse song selections enough to land a spot on the show that year, where she wowed Nicole Sherzinger with her rendition of a Corinne Bailey Rae song at boot camp and reached the finals to duet with her idol, Christina Aguilera. Though she fell short to competitor Matt Cardle, Ferguson was signed to Cowell/Sony Music Entertainment venture Syco and began working on her debut record as 2011 began. The single "Nothing's Real But Love" reached the British Top Ten, and her album Heaven hit number three, and charted well throughout much of Europe. ~ Chrysta Cherrie

Temple Edges Lee in DII Thriller |
Colleges - Women's College | |
In the closest game of the day, Temple women edged Lee University 25-22 during the DII National Championship's round of 16. The Owls will now see Shippensburg in the round of eight, a replay of the MARFU championship weeks prior. As the score indicates, the game was incredibly close, but Temple was only down after the first scores were traded. No. 8 Karina Sundar put Temple up 5-0, but then Lee responded with a converted try. "Lee had a fantastic fullback," Temple coach Owen Jones said. "We went into the game wanting to do more with our tactical kicking game, but they shut it down and put us under pressure. Lee also did an excellent job of capitalizing on our mistakes. When we knocked on or had a handling error, they didn't just get the ball back in the scrum – they punished us. Their scores came from our mistakes, which occurred after their pressure." After the two-point deficit, Temple stayed on top and enjoyed a 20-10 lead into the half. As the game wore on, it became apparent that Temple's fitness level was going to play a major role in the rest of the second half. "What helped us today, as well as the entire spring, was fitness," Jones said. "At halftime we noticed that we kept beating Texas to the lineout, so we wanted to take advantage of it. Although we like to play a wide-open game, we played a little more of a forward game since Texas' pack was tired. We kept better body position, were able to drive and keep running." By day's end, prop Kristin Shedaker, wing Sarah Linke and flyhalf Rachel Bandura all scored tries, while the halfback added a conversion and penalty. Jones was also to give some time to Hannah Carr, who stepped in at inside center. She made an immediate impact when she came onto the field and set the tone of the backline's defense. Carr brings with her experience from the 2010 national tournament, and has rejoined the team after an ACL tear. With the win, Temple will now play Shippensburg for the third time this competitive season. "It's frustrating only because Shippensburg is only two hours away from us at home and we've had to come to Alabama to play them again," Jones said. "But if we want to be the best team in the country, we have to beat Shippensburg, or we wouldn't feel like we deserved it. Both of our teams are really good and the game can go either way." Shippensburg and Temple play at 11 a.m. in Mobile, Ala. – stay tuned! |

Staff Writer
---- — PLUM ISLAND — Stephen Bandoian spent yesterday trying to figure out how his once well-protected oceanfront home on Plum Island essentially turned to rubble in a matter of months.
From Florida, where he spends much of the year, Bandoian could only rely on reports from family, friends and the media as his home at 41 Annapolis Way gave way to high seas and collapsed onto the ravaged shoreline below.
"This should have never happened — never, never never happened," he said yesterday afternoon.
A decade ago, the dune in front of Bandoian's house was so high it obscured his view of the ocean, he said.
"If you stood on the deck, you would see the ocean on the horizon, but couldn't see the beach," he said. "It was above the 100-year water mark. It was high, high up on the dune.
"... Something changed there. There's a reason that the dune stopped building out and started being chewed back in."
Bandoian said his house made it through last year undamaged. But he began fearing the worst in December, after his repeated attempts to gain permission to repair the recently exposed seawall in front of his house remained stalled. For years, the seawall had been buried deep beneath the dunes, only to resurface with the worsening erosion.
With the seawall compromised, this season's volatile storms dealt successive blows — damaging, then destroying his deck before the next hit undermined his house a bit.
Yesterday, the house simply gave way. Today, wrecking crews will tear it down to prevent it from washing out to sea and its debris from damaging other homes.
A frustrated Bandoian said it's unfortunate he was prevented from doing what he and his engineers felt was necessary to protect his house.
"I was told by engineers that if the seawall was repaired properly and the home was properly armored, then it would be fine," he said. "That's all I have to go on."
Bandoian grew up spending summers on Plum Island. Since the 1950s, he's watched the effects of erosion steadily move from one end of the barrier island to the other — starting on the northern Newburyport end around 53rd and 55th streets, then progressing to the center before moving south to the area around his home. Over the years, he's seen sandbars, too, build up, move and then disappear.
Each time the jetties were repaired, he said the erosion problems were redirected further south, eventually reaching his property, which backs up to Southern Boulevard.
Built in the late 1970s, Bandoian's house replaced one that was damaged in a 1976 storm. It was constructed further back on the lot to protect it from coastal damage. Bandoian bought the house in 1981 and extensively renovated it, he said. He also owns the adjacent house at 43 Annapolis Way, which occupies the same lot.
While electrical power had been cut to the house, Bandoian said that was because a utility pole that serviced his residence had been undermined and disputed it was due to safety concerns for his house.
Bandoian said it's too soon to know what he'll do next. But he fears for the properties around him, particularly those behind where his house and the dune had once provided a solid protective barrier.
"Others, close friends and neighbors of mine, never, ever thought their houses would ever be threatened," he said. "It's now conceivable that they are."
He's even begun wondering about his 43 Annapolis Way property, where his son's fiance now lives. In more than 30 years, he's never once had a concern there — until now.
"If someone doesn't do something to change whatever's happening, I suppose it'll reach that and beyond," he said.

Thai stuntman Tony Jaa makes his starring debut in this martial arts action film directed by Prachya Pinkaew. Ja plays Ting, a young man living in a village in rural Thailand. Discovered as an infant on the steps of the town's temple and raised by monks who taught him the Thai martial art of muay thai, Ting is sent to Bangkok when the head of the town's statue of the Buddha, to which they pray to bring the annual rains to their drought-stricken region, is stolen. The country boy is plunged into the big city's seething criminal underworld, and forced to use his fighting skills to dispatch a parade of thugs in an underground fight club on his way to finding the criminal mastermind who stole the Buddha head so he can return it before drought and starvation bring his hometown to ruin.

The College Fed Challenge: Student and Teacher Perspectives |
Every fall, undergraduate students throughout the Second District begin preparing for the College Fed Challenge. The competition, inspired by the working of the Federal Open Market Committee, requires that students work as a team to research and analyze current economic data, develop a forecast and review potential future economic risks, develop a presentation and answer questions on a recommendation for monetary policy. Although the work and challenges are considerable, students and advisors unanimously agree that the experience is both rewarding and unforgettable. Here are some thoughts of students and team advisors on their experiences: Students talk about the challenges they faced . . . "…how to make the connection between data analysis and providing a policy recommendation."
"Learning the complexity of monetary policy as well as how the Fed translates its understanding of economic conditions into monetary policy."
"Preparing for the question and answer portion of the competition . . . [the] judges ask questions about a wide range of issues related to central banking."
"…… keeping up to date with all the new, incoming data and speeches."
. . . and what they learned and gained from the experience. "The role of monetary policy, but also the need for public engagement in monetary discussions."
"…the challenges the Fed is currently facing in this economic environment. . . . and how monetary policy affects firms and individuals."
" …how to balance my time and . . . [an] improved work ethic. . . . [and] that winning is not the important part, it is the knowledge you gain from the experience …. "
" …the best experience of my college career. I've met great friends and done a lot of excellent work which I'm very proud of."
Team advisors reflect on the challenges. . . "Teaching so much information in such a short time to new students."
"Anticipating the issues that will be especially important in monetary policy at the time of the competition."
"Putting in the large amount of time working with the students, teaching, practicing and rehearsing."
. . . and the rewards of participating "It teaches far, far more deeply and effectively than any class can ever hope to."
"Good students can be challenged to be really GREAT students."
"…. the students take over to succeed or fail on their own."
"This is one of the most rewarding experiences I ever had; it brings me close to my students."

Highly Impressive 'Crawler Town' LEGO Build
This is 'Crawler Town', a rolling LEGO city built by Flickr user and skilled LEGOlier Dave DeGobbi. And, like Rome, it wasn't built in a day. OR SO THE HISTORY BOOKS SAY. They also don't mention alien subcontractors, but I have my doubts.
Crawler town roams the barren wastes of a post steam-punk world after cataclysmic climate change do to excessive coal use. Several such cities exist but Crawler town is the most popular due to the Aero 500 hydrogen fuel cell Air races that are held. Many people travel the wastes to Crawler town for vacation and to enjoy rare luxuries like Pizza, fresh vegetables and Beer. Travelling the wastes in search of minerals and aquifers ( vital for survival) the mobility of the city keeps it away from the vicious sand storms of the wastes
Good looking, Dave. Reminds me of the opposite of Water World. What would we call that, Land World? Mad Maxtopia? I dunno, but I do know the 2Pac video for 'California Love' is the shit. "As soon as I step on the scene, I'm hearin' hoochies screamin'." Oh yeah, I can relate. Wait -- are you bitches calling the cops?!
I posted a couple more shots after the jump, but you should definitely hit David's Flickr gallery (with more shots coming soon) to appreciate the build in high-res.

Twitter Marketing
Twitter is now the ninth largest website in the world, beating even WordPress and Amazon. Its power has become so immense that it's breaking news stories before TV channels and even making the news itself.
Setting up an account may seem easy for some, but if this not the case for you or you want to make an impact by having a professionally designed background image, we can help.
As well as developing our own Facebook CMS we also work closely with Twitter to ensure your brand is represented in the best light to the most potential customers possible.
We have several years' worth of knowledge about how twitter works and the best way to gather and engage new followers. We have found that the platform allows businesses to promote their products or services in a friendly, passive and non-sales aggressive manner whilst getting across the messages it needs to send.
We can not only set up your twitter account (including profile pictures and background themes) we can also provide lists of beneficial followers or people to follow. Once you have initially set up your account and found your key followers you then need to engage them in order to encourage them to suggest you to other members of the twitter community.
Reducing what you have to say into 140 characters isn't easy and learning how communicate effectively via Twitter has become an art. We successfully manage not only our own account (with over 1500 followers) but also several more with great success. We have honed the art of Twitter conversations and what makes people want to follow you. As part of our Twitter package we can populate your feed and engage with others in your field so you don't have to. Our method ensures that your feed is not a trial and error run and only contains the most relevant information.

Not to get into too much detail, when she goes 90% or above she panics and gets nervous, then mentally breaks down as she brings the weight closer to chest. I tell her to relax, trust her spotters (me) and the shirt. She ALWAYS cocks her wrist back and her forearms are not lined up with her elbows. She is fighting the groove of the shirt trying to accommodate her raw groove which is a big no-no. I have a general idea on what she needs to do and what cues to shout, but how does one convince a lifter to break that mental barrier? I'm getting frustrated myself as I been training her for months now but I know bringing negativity to the table won't do any good.
Two things. Confidence and technique. She needs to build confidence and reinforce good technique. The second one can be fixed by positive vocal commands as much as possible during training and showing her video from the side. The confidence issue is a bit tricky. One is overload work. If she's handling weights above her raw max, she might see that this is not a big deal. You could also use different plates to make the same weight (alot of people get frozen when they see a certain number of 45s on the bar).
Does she panic similarly at 90% raw? If not, that's a shirt issue and more practice touching weights will sooth that concern.
Trample the weak, hurdle the dead
Satisfaction is the Death of Desire...
I like the 25/35lb plate idea but come meet day, it'd throw her off. She is fine attempting PR's on raw benching. She uses the slingshot as well for overload work but she doesn't seem to be bothered by it. It's only when she puts the shirt on and starts handling weight over her raw max (+80lb over her best raw). She does well hitting 2-brd but any lower, she says "i feel like its gonna fall on my belly" "it doesn't feel natural to go this low". I had to give her a "motivational coach talk" if she trusts me etc etc to boost her confidence but no luck. As far as her technique, its not the best but pretty good. She is progressing her form as she recently started shirted benching and I can see where her weak points are. We hit those hard on DE bench days or after the main ME movement for "assistance work"
You said the biggest problem I can see with your girlfriend in a shirt yourself in your question---and this seems to be more so the case with some of the female benchers I've worked with, then males but it happens with both--she is fighting the groove of the shirt trying to accomodate her raw groove. If she is doing that, you have her in the wrong shirt for her body. I would strongly recommend getting her into a bench shirt that nearly mimicks (as close as possible) her natural raw groove. This will eliminate the feeling of fighting that she's having and give her a chance to adjust to the pressure and bite of the shirt. She needs to understand that for a big bench, a lifter needs to work with his shirt to lift the most weight. If she is fighting against it, she's just wasting energy and she sure as hell isn't benching what she is capable of.
This may take some trial and error, but I'd start there with her.

If she is saying that, I'm willing to bet she's in the wrong shirt. I have worked with a couple of female lifters who's boyfriends insisted on them getting into a SK or an F6 because the guys were too stubborn to see that the woman had a completely different body shape and type compared to the guys and the shirt just wasn't working for her, but the guys were convinced it was "a great shirt".
This happened with my own wife (Who basically said what your girlfriend is saying). We tried multiple shirts for her before I finally got pissed and got her a single ply phenom (a shit shirt in many peoples opinions), but it is one which she is consistantly improving with now. Look at how she's benching raw and get her into the right shirt. Start there before you do anything else.

Get some video up so we can better help. Also, with video you can show her, her own errors. The visual usually helps.

"The weak will never understand" - Vincent Dizenzo
She's using a loose fit open back single F6. I was tempted to get her the fury but she benches with an arch. I'll see if I can get someone to video tape next come shirted bench session.
I'm an absolute terrible shirted bencher and I got over 120 lbs from a five year old worn down loose closed back Fury and I bench with a decent arch. If she flares early and doesn't belly bench, a Fury is a very good fit for her. Sometimes its better to get the most out of an inferior shirt before moving on to a better one. You learn in steps.
I'd also rethink using boards with the shirt. Boards are good as a tool to build the lockout and confidence holding heavier weights but watch how she benches with the boards. If she just looses control on the eccentric, uses momentum, or does a lot of touch and go, that will carry out in her technique with touching weights. Use a 1 board or 2 board in the shape of foam may help since she can touch the foam but then continue the eccentric through it as it compresses. Maybe sub in reverse band work for a while to still work in the overload aspect of her training.
Controlled negatives and heavy triples (while focusing on breathing and lats) are a good start. A bencher must be confident in their ability to touch lighter weights before pressing big ones, especially when they first get in a shirt. That goes along way into developing the mentality needed to get a huge carryover.

Yes, video would be very good. If you can, don't just get it from the side, but try to get the video from above too, that way we can see the chestplate and arms on the shirt and how it is loading with her. Sometimes if you just shoot video from the side, things are missed because of the arch or the plates.
Just a comment--this is a personal opinion and different people will think differently based on their experiences. I personally do not like an open back on an F6, Katana, or SuperKatana. It seems that for some people, the shirts will not lock in correctly if the back is open. They have great support coming down and either they lose it, or after they can touch, when coming back up, it is as if the shirt has moved and support is lost. You just can't seem to lock the shirt in without a ridiculously tight belt on some people. I have always thought that is partially because those shirts were originally designed for federations that demanded closed backs. Opening the back changes the load of the shirt. Again, this is just an opinion, so don't hold me to it.

I've seen this a few times with both guys and girls....
it takes 2 things to fix this, and I don't agree with just getting a few new shirts. That might help, but a loose, single ply f6 should be about as forgiving as they come....
Practice, and patience
I like building up the groove a little at a time.... take a weight that you think she can touch with and have her do doubles to progressively lower boards. We did this with my wife when she wanted to get in to her single-ply overkill, and then again for her double-ply. We used 205 for my wife, but use whatever weight your wife could easily double.
Set one is the first rep to a 3-board and the 2nd to a 2.5. The next set is 2.5 then 2, then 2 and 1.5. then 1.5 and 1, 1 and .5, then .5 and touch.
The last set is just a touch with that same weight.
This teaches the groove a 1/2" at a time instead of just going for it. It helps to use some speed as well. Once she gets the first rep to touch, have her take the second rep there a little quicker.
Different shirts might give you a chance of finding something closer to a comfortable groove for her, but it sounds like a technique issue. Personally I wouldn't throw that much money at it.
As for the wrists, wrap up higher on the heel of the hand. It might also help to have someone watch her groove and call for her to pull straight in when she gets to the right spot.... just a barbell row.
Then just add weight as she gets used to working the shirt.
Good luck

So delicious. I also had trouble with the topping, but it was still one of the yummiest cakes I've ever made.
Delicious! Would highly recommend this cake.
I had the same problem with the topping. But realized I read the recipe wrong, thinking it called for 4/12 TABLESPPOONS, not TEASPOONS, of butter. It would be better if the butter was listed as 1 1/2 Tablespoons. I too substituted egg, but only two. Between that and the extra butter in the topping, it took longer to cook. So I sprinkled some brown sugar and nuts back over the top for the rest of the cooking, and it came together with the glaze. Everyone still loved it!!
To the reviewer who had the problem with the topping. Same thing happened to me. I realized, however that I mis-read the recipe. The butter in the topping is listed by TEASPOONS and not TABLESPOONS. So that's why my topping was runny and sank as well. I don't think I've ever seen recipe measure butter in teaspoons, especially since a stick is measured by tablespoons. It would be better if the recipe said 1 1/2 tablespoons. Also, I substituted 2 eggs, instead of 3. So, I wonder if that, in comibination with the extra butter, required me to cook it longer. Amazingly, it still turned out well, and my family loved it!
Try not melting the butter when making the topping. The butter is going to melt in the oven.

Titles similar to Jesse Jackson
Starting with a full-page color photo of Jesse Jackson addressing a crowd at a protest in 2010, this picture-book biography in the Civil Rights Crusaders series follows his lifelong political role, including his work with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and his dynamic presidency of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition as well as his international work for peace. It feels condescending to refer to the leader as "Jesse" throughout, but the clear, informal prose in spacious type; full-page, high-quality color photos of the politician in action; and "Let Freedom Ring" facts and quotes in boxed screens on every spread will draw elementary-schoolers to the important issues they see on the news, right up to Jackson's current resistance to U.S. involvement in Iraq and his support for new health-care laws. The back matter includes a glossary, a brief bibliography, and websites.

Muscle Flexes Smart Cards into Linux
Credit card companies successfully marketed the silver card, the gold card and the platinum card. Precious metals represent wealth, and we were supposed to associate that notion with something less tangible—card security.
In today's society, better security for electronic commerce is a priority for corporations, banks and merchants. Even as computers become faster, methods of authentication once thought secure become easier to subvert. At the same time, modern communications allow hackers to advertise their exploits, making details of such activity easy to come by, even for amateurs. An easy-to-use exploit script is usually just a web site away. As current security methods become easier to crack and subvert, developers search for different and better ways of authentication.
We all use magnetic-stripe cards every day to get money from the bank, to shop, to fill the gas tank and to enter the office building. It's not uncommon for a person to carry ten or more different cards at any given time. Are the cards secure? Consider the following common credit card scenarios:
You pay your restaurant bill with a credit card and leave the receipt on the table.
You make a department store purchase with a credit card and later throw the receipt in the trash.
You send your mother flowers purchased over the Internet using a credit card number.
Card receipts contain all the necessary information for anyone to assume the same purchasing power (indeed, the same identity) as the actual card holder. In any of the above scenarios, it is only a matter of time before your identity and potentially your bank account is compromised. Authentication using magnetic-stripe tokens is plainly insecure.
Another example of weak authentication is the computer password—the most common method of authentication in computing today. Being the only person who knows a secret word or pass phrase gives us a misplaced sense of security about data access. We don't think about the adolescent cracking our password while we sleep, yet dictionary-based password crackers (software that tries common dictionary words) are available on the Internet. A software package such as Crack 5.0 easily reveals passwords in a matter of minutes—at most a few hours—that were once thought secure. Most hackers obtain initial access into a system through accounts with no password at all or a password set to match the user name. (Many system administrator packages set the default account name to match the user name, and the default never gets updated.)
You can strengthen current security mechanisms, but the ultimate solution may be an entirely new design. Soon magnetic-stripe credit cards, passwords and PINs could be things of the past, replaced by token-based authentication systems enabled with biometric sensors—a secure token storing cryptographic certificates and keys, and terminals with biometric sensors to qualify key access (e.g., from your fingerprint).
One such token is the smart card. Smart card technology has been reliably demonstrated in Europe for many years. A smart card is a special-purpose storage device about the size and thickness of a credit card, containing a thin microprocessor capable of storing data. When inserted into a suitable reader, the microprocessor is powered up, and instructions are passed between the host computer or terminal and the smart-card microprocessor.
Your wallet today: some cash, a few credit cards, an ATM card, a phone card, a driver's license, employee badge, a piece of paper with all your PIN numbers written on it and a reminder to buy milk.
Your wallet in the future: a single smart card with biometric authentication.
What can you do with that smart card? A single card has the potential to replace:
bank cards, ATM cards, phone cards, gasoline cards, credit cards in general
driver's license, passport, employment identification
physical access to your home, your car, your office
medical records and services
With biometrics, you might even be able to remember that you are allergic to dairy products or penicillin. Biometrics are measurements taken from a person to identify them later, such as fingerprints, retinal patterns, face photos, finger lengths, voice prints or typing and writing patterns. Measurements can be digitized for storage on a smart card and for use in conjunction with digital certificates and authentication.
Smart cards are true computing devices containing a CPU, ROM, EEPROM and RAM—all packed into a flexible plastic card. The technology of the microprocessor is comparable to that of a full-sized desktop computer in the late 1970s. Smart cards have an operating system, an I/O channel, static and dynamic memory and an instruction set used to program the card. In the future, the technology may evolve so that entire operating systems (such as Linux) could be run from the card. Right now, smart cards mainly provide secure, portable storage for cryptographic keys and a wide assortment of authentication information.
Amazing how the technology
Amazing how the technology on Smart Cards keeps getting better. Next thing you'll know, every important thing you need may be stored in one Smart Card (from multiple credit cards, as your vehicle's keyless entry and ignition key, as your passport, etc.)
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.
