40,000 households could be hit by benefits cap
An estimated 40,000 households could be hit by the new £500 a week benefits cap which will be rolled out by the Government today.
Households could lose up to £90 a week under the new proposals which is expected to save £275 million a year from the welfare bill.
National implementation will begin in July, with the policy fully in force by the end of September.
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said:
The Benefit Cap sets a clear limit for how much support the welfare state will provide - the average wage for working households.
But it's also a strong incentive for people to move into work and even before the cap comes in we are seeing thousands of people seeking help and moving off benefits.

Nokia launches new Lumia tablet and large smartphone
Technology giant Nokia has launched a raft of new products including its first Windows tablet device and two new large-screen smartphones, or "phablets".
The new Lumia 2520 tablet, designed to "work anywhere", was unveiled at a news conference in Abu Dhabi.
Two new 6in (15cm) screen smartphones, or phablets, were unveiled - the Lumia 1520 and Lumia 1320 - offering easier access to apps and other new features.
"At Nokia we have found that tablet usage peaks between six and eight in the morning and between six and nine in the evening. During the rest of the day tablet usage drops quite dramatically," Nokia chief executive Stephen Elop said.
"We are looking to shift this trend - your tablet should be as mobile and as connected as you are."

Nine Coal Mining teams competed head-to-head on Wednesday, May 14 in the annual Robert Earl Jones Mine Rescue Contest, held at the Rend Lake College Sports Center in Ina.
Despite dreary weather, Team Pattiki of White County Coal in Carmi placed first, followed by Peabody Energy's team Wildcat Hills of Eldorado in second and Peabody's team Gateway Mine of Coulterville in third.
The Mine Rescue Contest places the teams in a mock danger simulation where they race against the clock to save survivors who have been trapped in a mine after an event such as a fire or an explosion. Beforehand, the teams were held in a separate room from the course, so they couldn't see the obstacles or other teams, and they gathered for lunch after completion.
John Smith, State of Illinois Mine Rescue Supervisor and State Mine Inspector, said the hands-on training is great experience for miners who may end up in similar situations while on the job.
"Today was a test for these miners where we simulated a hazardous scene and the teams went in to search and rescue those who couldn't get out on their own," Smith said. "Everything is governed by a set of rules and the miners have to explore the field by these rules, or they are docked points. It teaches them training and teamwork, and to always expect the unexpected."
There are four similar contests every year, two in mine rescue and two in skills training. RLC hosts a skills contest in the fall and the rescue contest in the spring. There is also a state contest held in Marion in September and a national contest every other year in Columbus, Ohio.
Don McBride, Mining Technology Instructor, added the experience of competing in the rescue contest is unlike anything the miners would find elsewhere.
"These teams encountered things that, in real life, would put them in danger and put others they're trying to save in danger, and they've got to think on their feet," McBride said. "It's good practice for them."
The event was hosted for the eighth year at RLC, said Chris Nielsen, Dean of Applied Science and Technology, a streak that he is looking forward to lengthening in the future.
"Rend Lake College has hosted this event for eight years, and we hope to do it for another eight and beyond," Nielsen said. "It's part of our mission to serve the industry, and this is an excellent way for us to get involved. It's also a good collaboration between miners and the college, and it brings people from across campus together to help put this on. It's an excellent event, and we're proud to host it."
The nine teams who competed came from eight companies in Illinois and Indiana. They are:

Some reflections on scalable ARC to WARC migration
The SCAPE project is developing solutions to enable the processing of very large data sets with a focus on long-term preservation. One of the application areas is web archiving where long-term preservation is of direct relevance for different task areas, like harvesting, storage, and access.
Interview with a SCAPEr - Pavel Smrz
SCAPE Webinar: ToMaR – The Tool-to-MapReduce Wrapper: How to Let Your Preservation Tools Scale
When dealing with large volumes of files, e.g. in the context of file format migration or characterisation tasks, a standalone server often cannot provide sufficient throughput to process the data in a feasible period of time. ToMaR provides a simple and flexible solution to run preservation tools on a Hadoop MapReduce cluster in a scalable fashion.
ToMaR offers the possibility to use existing command-line tools and Java applications in Hadoop's distributed environment very similarly to a Desktop computer. By utilizing SCAPE tool specification documents, ToMaR allows users to specify complex command-line patterns as simple keywords, which can be executed on a computer cluster or a single machine. ToMaR is a generic MapReduce application which does not require any programming skills.
This webinar will introduce you to the core concepts of Hadoop and ToMaR and show you by example how to apply it to the scenario of file format migration.
Learning outcomes
1. Understand the basic principals of Hadoop
2. Understand the core concepts of ToMaR
3. Apply knowledge of Hadoop and ToMaR to the file format migration scenario
Who should attend?
Practitioners and developers who are:
• dealing with command line tools (preferrably of the digital preservation domain) in their daily work
• interested in Hadoop and how it can be used for binary content and 3rd-party tools
Session Lead: Matthias Rella, Austrian Institute of Technology
Time: 10:00 GMT / 11:00 CET
Duration: 1 hour

Managing Digital Preservation: A SCAPE & OPF Seminar
This event will focus on the issues that managers face when implementing digital preservation in their organisation. It will explore the tension between stable business processes and the introduction of new technologies. Many managers have a responsibility for digital preservation but they are not necessarily a technical expert in the field.
Why attend?
- Meet peers who are managing digital preservation
- Learn about the approach of others who are embedding digital preservation in business practices
- Hear about strategic approaches and policies in the field of digital preservation
- Meet experts in digital preservation
- Find out about research and development project developments
Who should attend?
Managers with a responsibility for digital preservation in large or small organisations
Why can't we have digital preservation tools that just work?
One of my first blogs here covered an evaluation of a number of format identification tools. One of the more surprising results of that work was that out of the five tools that were tested, no less than four of them (FITS, DROID, Fido and JHOVE2) failed to even run when executed with their associated launcher script. In many cases the Windows launcher scripts (batch files) only worked when executed from the installation folder. Apart from making things unnecessarily difficult for the user, this also completely flies in the face of all existing conventions on command-line interface design. Around the time of this work (summer 2011) I had been in contact with the developers of all the evaluated tools, and until last week I thought those issues were a thing of the past. Well, was I wrong!
SCAPE survey on preservation monitoring. Participate now!
Anyone willing to preserve digital content must be aware of events that might constitute a relevant risk. In SCAPE we are developing tools that will allow you to detect risks before they cause any irreversible damage.
Help us understand the preservation events, threats and opportunities, you find more relevant and the ways you would like us to detect them.
Participate in our survey and help us develop tools that would help you to automatically detect problems in your own content, and events that might put it at risk.
The survey has 30 short questions that should take about 10 minutes to complete.
Identification of PDF preservation risks: analysis of Govdocs selected corpus
This blog follows up on three earlier posts about detecting preservation risks in PDF files. In part 1 I explored to what extent the Preflight component of the Apache PDFBox library can be used to detect specific preservation risks in PDF documents. This was followed up by some work during the SPRUCE Hackathon in Leeds, which is covered by this blog post by Peter Cliff. Then last summer I did a series of additional tests using files from the Adobe Acrobat Engineering website. The main outcome of this more recent work was that, although showing great promise, Preflight was struggling with many more complex PDFs. Fast-forward another six months and, thanks to the excellent response of the Preflight developers to our bug reports, the most serious of these problems are now largely solved1. So, time to move on to the next step!

Sens. Richard Burr (R-NC), Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT) have unveiled the Patient Choice, Affordability, Responsibility, and Empowerment (CARE) Act with the idea of repealing the Affordable Care Act and offering this plan in its place. Some highlights of the bill follow:
The proposal would repeal the ACA's requirements on individuals and employers to purchase health care coverage. Also, it would eliminate the health insurance marketplaces set up under the ACA.
Lifetime limits would still be prohibited and the proposal would ensure the ability to keep dependent coverage up to the age of 26, although a state could opt out of enforcing dependent coverage on the insurers that it regulates.
Individuals could not be charged more for preexisting conditions unless they have a gap in coverage at which time they could be subject to medical underwriting where insurers could charge them more for coverage based on medical history.
Employers could fully deduct the cost of providing health insurance. However, some employees getting generous coverage would have to pay taxes on the value of some benefits.
The ACA's ban on charging an older, sicker person more than three times what a younger, healthier person is charged is replaced with a 5:1 ratio, and states would be able to decide whether they want a different rating rule.
The proposal envisions adopting or incentivizing states to adopt a range of solutions to tackle the problem of so-called "junk lawsuits" and defensive medicine.
Given the fact that any proposal that seeks to repeal and/or radically modify provisions of the ACA face a certain veto by President Obama, the prospects for the proposal's serious consideration and passage are not promising.
With increasing numbers of health care organizations adopting electronic health records (EHRs), the National Academies' Institute of Medicine (IOM) has released a discussion paper proposing a model to calculate the financial implications, benefits and costs of implementing EHRs and related technologies.
Return on Information: A Standard Model for Assessing Institutional Return on Electronic Health Records notes that health care has been "a reluctant late adopter" of information technology, lagging behind other industries. Nevertheless, the paper asserts that enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has spurred greater innovation in delivery systems, making standards-based, interoperable IT systems increasingly necessary in the future.
According to the paper, the goal of the proposed model is "to provide a clear framework and propose a standard model for evaluating institutional investment in EHRs and related technologies to enable inter-organizational comparisons, help identify best-in-class implementation approaches, and prioritize process redesign endeavors."
A standard assessment model would make possible for the first time the direct comparison of vendor technologies or products based on a standard set of cost/benefit assumptions.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) introduced the latest version of a bill aimed at enhancing personal information and privacy. The Personal Data Privacy and Security Act of 2014, was first introduced by Leahy in 2005. The bills states that business entities that comply with both the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and the Health Information Technology for Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, would be in compliance with the legislation's standards. These business entities include vendors of personal health records and third-party service providers.
The bill requires companies that have databases with sensitive personal information to establish and implement data privacy and security programs. It would also establish a single national standard for data breach notification and require notice to consumers when their personal information has been compromised. The bill would make it an explicit felony to damage critical infrastructure systems or information, with violators subject to as much as 20 years of imprisonment.
An earlier version of the bill passed the Judiciary Committee in the 112th Congress, but never saw Senate floor action. The new legislation is cosponsored by Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Al Franken (D-MN) and Charles Schumer (D-NY).
A compromise bipartisan federal budget plan, H.J. Res 59, that sets overall funding levels for the next two years and temporarily removes the threat of another government shutdown was approved in December by Congress and signed into law by President Obama. The budget plan calls for spending $1.012 trillion in FY14 and $1.014 trillion in 2015.
The powerful House Appropriations Committee has added three new Republican members following the resignation of two members earlier this year and the death of longtime Florida Rep. C.W. Bill Young in October.
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), those who wanted coverage to begin by January 1, 2014 had to sign up by December 23, 2013. The deadline for signing up for health insurance and avoiding a tax penalty, however, is March 31, 2014. Social scientists and those who have studied similar government programs with a lengthy sign-up period say many people naturally procrastinate until a deadline looms. Washington Post economics reporter Ezra Klein notes that the ACA is similar to the Massachusetts health reforms and Medicare Part D—and that this experience shows that enrollment "begins as a trickle and spikes at the end." Medicare Part D, which provides prescription drug coverage, began as a polarizing national law and also had a terrible rollout, he says. But today, more than 90% of seniors say they are happy with the program and consider it a success.
Optimists note that the number of people who chose insurance policies run by the federal government or the states, more than doubled between November and October. Skeptics, however, say those combined enrollment figures are still well below the administration's March 2014 target of 7 million new enrollees. And they add that the law's poor rollout has hurt its standing among millennials, who are generally healthy. Income from the premiums of young enrollees is essential to offset the cost of insuring more expensive, older adults.
Despite the current enrollment numbers, interest in the ACA appears to be growing rapidly. "The website, HealthCare.gov and phone center (1-800-318-2596) are fielding a large number of inquiries, which could be a positive indicator for future enrollment growth," David Howard, a Professor of Health Policy at Emory University in Atlanta, told MedPage Today. According to the publication's December 11 article, nearly two million more consumers have applied for and been told they are eligible for a plan.
Though it will go down as the least productive Congress in modern history, House Republicans insist they are proud of their 2013 campaign to disable President Obama's regulatory agenda. According to a December 8 article in The Hill, House Republicans are not shy about touting their efforts to block legislation.
As a result of the gridlock, President Obama decided to use his regulatory authority to pursue his key policy goals. House Republicans held dozens of committee and subcommittee hearings in 2013 aimed at critiquing new regulations. House Democrats say that the campaign is nothing more than old-fashioned obstructionism, the same thing that created October's 16-day federal government shutdown and debt ceiling debate.
A study issued by the respected, nonpartisan Congressional Research Service provided ammunition for each point of view. The May 1, 2013 report showed that the number of final rules issued by the Obama administration through last year was fewer than all those issued during President George W. Bush's first term. But the report also noted that more "major rules" — those with an annual economic impact of more than $100 million — were enacted in 2010 than in any year since 1997. Given the Administration's interest in higher education, any focus on regulatory authority could potentially impact academic dentistry, positively or negatively.
With the inclusion of pediatric oral health services as an essential benefit under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), millions of children are poised to gain dental coverage over the next five years. Some adults will also receive dental benefits as the law is implemented.
The American Dental Association (ADA) estimates that 8.7 million children will receive dental coverage through the ACA, but according to a November article in The Wall Street Journal, some experts place that number at 5 million.
The ACA is expanding Medicaid eligibility in many, though not all, states. Twenty-nine states currently offer at least some dental coverage to adults through Medicaid. The other states offer adults emergency-only coverage or none at all.
Consumers purchasing insurance through the new health insurance marketplaces have the option of purchasing dental coverage separately or as part of their medical insurance plan. The Journal reports that these plans vary considerably in how they structure their deductibles. As a result, some plans may cost consumers more than they would pay out-of-pocket for the care they receive. Out-of-pocket maximums also vary by state, but stand-alone pediatric dental plans in the federally-run exchanges have limits set at $700 for one child and $1,400 for two or more children.
Medicare does not cover routine dental care, and it is anticipated that many consumers, especially older adults, will continue to rely on charitable and subsidized care for their dental needs. Oral Health America has launched a website, toothwisdom.org, to link older adults with oral health resources in their states, including care sites, financial tools and social support services, such as transportation.
The Wall Street Journal also quoted Dr. Richard W. Valachovic, D.M.D., M.P.H., ADEA President and CEO, on the safety-net role that dental schools play in providing routine and specialty oral health care at reduced fees.
In order to participate in federal student aid programs, the Higher Education Act (HEA) requires career education programs to "prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation." Under gainful employment regulations, Title IV loans can only be disbursed to eligible students enrolled in programs that lead to gainful employment in a recognized occupation. The HEA defines the programs subject to this requirement as non-degree programs at all colleges and most degree programs at for-profit colleges. As for academic dentistry, gainful employment regulations apply to allied or advanced dental education programs that terminate with the awarding of a certificate but not a degree.
Currently, the Department of Education (DE) is convening negotiated rulemaking sessions. On November 8, DE convened its second Gainful Employment Negotiated Rulemaking session. The department released draft rules for discussion purposes a week prior to the three-day meeting.
The draft rules which federal negotiators debated in the November meeting would judge programs based not only on their graduates' student-loan-debt burdens, but also on their former students' ability to repay their loans, whether or not the students graduated. Furthermore, the rules would require risky programs to seek federal approval to award aid and would require all programs to have the necessary state and accreditor approvals to qualify students to sit for licensing examinations. Programs at risk of losing eligibility at the end of a year would have to set aside money for borrower relief, either through a letter of credit, a state guarantee or the federal withholding of student-loan dollars.
It could be months or longer before a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is published. In the meantime, stakeholders are certain to continue making their views known on the proposed standards. For more on this topic, see last month's coverage in the ADEA Washington Update.
By a wide margin, the House of Representatives passed legislation that would give insurance companies one more year to sell policies that do not meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act. The House bill, formally known as the Keep Your Health Plan Act of 2013, is not expected to be taken up by the Senate. President Obama has also promised to veto it, which means it has no chance of becoming law.
The November 15 vote was 261 to 157, and included the backing of 39 Democrats who broke ranks with their leadership. In the past month, millions of Americans have received notices that their insurance policies would be cancelled because they did not meet the minimum requirements set forth in the ACA, setting off a storm of criticism against the administration and President Obama, who had said repeatedly that Americans could keep their health insurance if they liked it.
The two-page House bill was an attempt to fix that problem. But insurance company executives and Democratic congressional leaders made clear that allowing two types of plans—those that meet the ACA requirements and those that don't—would make it far more difficult for the new plans offered by the state health insurance exchanges to attract enough customers (especially young and healthy ones) to make the new plans viable.
Prior to the vote, Democratic leaders predicted that no more than 25 Democratic Representatives would defect. Many of the 39 Democratic votes came from members who will be in tough reelection fights next year. Nineteen of the Democratic votes came from members who had not yet been elected to the House when the ACA became law in 2010.

It pours a clear copper with a decent head and some nice lacing. The aroma is not in your face, but some caramel is detected and there is plenty of malt in the nose. There is a touch of alcohol in this extremely malty beer. It has a slight biscuit character and some spiciness (anise). Very tasty, I just couldn't have many of these.

In light of the recent discovery that F has a corn allergy, I'm having a little mini-panic over what the F (haha, get it?) we are all going to be able to eat around here. I mean, I know we're still a long way from having complete lists of what F can and can't eat. Just because he doesn't react to something through my breast milk doesn't mean he will be able to eat it safely himself. And just because he reacts to something through my breast milk now, doesn't mean he won't outgrow that particular allergy in the near future. BUT still, I'm a planner and my head is spinning over how I'm going to tackle this from a family perspective.
G can and does eat everything. I can eat everything but am a lifelong vegetarian because I don't like meat and I'm not changing that because eww. B can eat everything but dairy and soy. F can eat, well, I have no idea but likely not much. So far his no's (through breast milk) are dairy, rice, apple, and corn. His yesses (also through breast milk) are squash, potato, banana, pear, coconut, peanuts, chocolate, wheat, egg white, almond, and date.
There is no way to visualize feeding us all as we go forward that isn't messy. Here are the only ideas I have so far:
-Do we do some sort of lowest common denominator paleo vegan and air diet? There really isn't much left that we can all eat.
-So maybe we have a sort of lowest common denominator diet where we keep meat for everyone else? I'm already cooking bacon regularly and have actually touched salmon without puking so I'm half way there and I'm already surviving on pure peanut butter so whatever.
-If we go that route, would it work to have foods that B can have but F can't that we reserve only for school lunches that he eats away from home? Or is that too confusing for a kid?
-Or do we all have individualized meal plans? Everyone can have their own special cabinet and space in the fridge like roommates? Not only does that seem like a shopping and cooking nightmare, but how do I protect F, and to some degree B, from foods that can hurt them? And how do I explain to them that they can't eat things others are eating?
-Then what do we do when we travel? Eating out will be impossible so do we restrict ourselves to places with hippie grocery stores and hotels with kitchens? What about when people visit our house? Do we put them on our crazy diet or allow forbidden allergens and just somehow manage them so F doesn't get his hands on things?
On the one hand it doesn't seem fair (and maybe not safe) to F to keep foods in the house that he can't have. But on the other, it doesn't seem fair for B to have to heavily restrict his diet, especially given he has had some weight gain and growth issues. The last thing I want to do is limit his food!
Does anybody have any ideas or experience with a situation like this? No need to suggest that I hide in the closet and binge on ice cream and cheese after the kids go to bed. As soon as I stop nursing, that will be an integral part of any plan we choose.

Even though the hotel faces the main road, the room we stayed in was incredibly quiet. Tube station is quite near and 74 bus easily get you to the center of London. The interior and the facilities are modern and every place is kept very clean. I would surely return to this hotel on my next visit to London.

Location close to underground station, restaurants. Our room overlooked garden so very quiet. Room size small but I understand not bad by London Standards. Breakfast was extra but quite good. We were fortunate to be able to take advantage of the 5pm check out on Sunday's which suited our late flight out. I would stay here again. No complaints.

Senate committee OKs 'revenge porn' bill
By Associated Press
Originally published: Mar 19, 2014 - 4:44 pm
Originally published: Mar 19, 2014 - 4:44 pm
PHOENIX -- An Arizona Senate committee has approved a bill aimed at stopping jilted lovers from posting explicit pictures of their former flames online to get revenge.
The measure sponsored by Republican Rep. J.D. Mesnard of Chandler would make it a felony to post nude photos of a person without their written consent.
House Bill 2515 is one of many measures being considered by lawmakers across the nation in response to the posting of ``revenge porn'' that has been made easier by the growth of social networking sites. Last year, California made it a misdemeanor to post such images.
The Senate Committee on Public Safety unanimously approved the bill on Wednesday.

St Albans City Youth win four community awards
11:10am Thursday 12th June 2014 in Sport
St Albans City Youth enjoyed plenty of success at the Herts FA Community Awards at Sopwell House.
The young volunteer of the year went to City Youth's Anthony Gosling. He is a sixth former at Nicholas Breakspear School and an Under-17 player for City Youth.
Gosling has taken full advantage of the school and club partnership by undertaking a number of learning experiences.
After each one he returns to the club and school and shares his newly learnt skills with others.
Gosling represented the county at the Football Futures annual training camp at St Georges last summer.
Following his performance he was invited to a multi-sport coach education event at Loughborough University alongside the top young coaches from the other sports including cricket and rugby.
The coach of the year went to Charlie Boswell who set up the St Albans Player Development Centres for players at every age group.
Boswell also worked with Ben Wells from the FA to introduce an extensive mentoring programme at the club.
City Youth reporter Terry Edwards was also recognised for over 25 years service in football.
The final presentation of the evening was for the outstanding contribution to community football award which went to City Youth's David Wray.
England international Rachel Yankey was guest of honour and the mayor of St Albans, Cllr Annie Brewster, also attended the evening.

The Grind ... Xbox One Day One Edition
So I was happy.
I got a new job and for that I pre-ordered my xbox one day one edition from Amazon.
Three months later I recieved my xbox one from UPS and decided to spend the night with friends instead of hooking it up. But I couldn't help but think of all the happy times that lay ahead.
Still happy.
I hooked it up and after some password issues (went so long without logging in, I forgot the thing) it booted up and updated. Boom - I started apps and was really starting to enjoy the new experience.
Really happy.
Then, I would do what every average american would want, play a game on their game console ... then this happened ...

The best part was the young ones getting involved!
LookAtThisHuman02 from Philippe Moore on Vimeo.
This project stemmed from my interest in a film titled The Five Obstructions which was introduced to me by my professors at Knox College. The premise revolves around a challenge presented by Lars von Trier to his favorite director, Jorgen Leth, to redo his classic 1962 film, The Perfect Human. I hope this piece builds on that legacy, or at least brings something new to the table.

Game is now annotated. Of note is:
Of course the side who makes the penultimate blunder wins...
I'll be posting my analysis sometime this week.
Sure that is how the game ended. However, I am doing analysis of this and round one thru four of Quad 28 to see how I am playing. In this game I allowed you to get tremendous pressure on me for most of the game. I need to figure out how that happened. Personally I think you blundered only because of a radical shift in gears of the game at the end. The game went from cramped to open, and perhaps that was just enough to incite a tactical blindsight...
wow, we played this game over a month ago, and i still want to bang my head against a wall when i see the blunder at the end, lol.
