To be clear, this occurs when right-clicking or pressing the context menu key on files and folders only. It does not display an issue when right-clicking on the desktop or the recycle bin, or the taskbar even. Right-clicking in programs like Firefox shows no problem either. It is only on folders or files.
The only recent software addition I made was to add Lightning to the Mozilla Thunderbird Application, but this is not showing signs of a problem either.
I've run ShellMenuView, and see that a couple of items here have the File Name item as "%1" - which seems a little odd. Does this mean they are bad links and I should remove or disable them? For example:
Menu: runas
Extensions: .exe
Menu Key: runas
File Type: exefile
Type Description: Application
Disabled: No
Extended Mode: No
Modified Time: 14/07/2009 04:53:38

Anyone have any ideas?

Perhaps you can try an SFC Scan
|My System Specs
|12 Mar 2012
Performed an SFC Scan for verifyonly and (happily) it did not find any integry problems. Interestingly though, I can't right-click to start command prompt as administrator. Luckily, I already am logged in as Admin. However, even using startmenu cmd [ctrl+shift]Enter forces explorer.exe to restart...
Still suffering same issue, might perform the full SFC scan and fix; but is it worth doing this if the verifyonly function found no errors?
Another interesting development - The rightclick context menu functions fine on the other user account on the same system (non-admin). So it is an error specific to my login... which is an administrator login.
I've now completed the full SFC Scan and it has found no errors.
Also, I tried altering another account to Admin rights and rightclicking for context menus, and this worked fine too. So it is something linked to my own account, regardless of whether it is administrator or not... I've done a full Avast scan, and that's clean too.
Can't confirm a full fix yet, but I think it might be something to do with an installation of MozyHome. Removing and rebooting to check...
Anyone else suffered this type of issue with MozyHome?

Vacuum Filters
Who does not love a clean house free from grime and dust? Vacuum cleaner filters are the essential parts of the vacuum cleaner that keep the dirt sucked up by the cleaner in the machine. It helps kill the germs and contaminants that are trapped within. They are positioned such that they can trap the dust mites and pollutants before it reaches the motor and the exhaust. There are various kinds of filters available including the ultra fine air filter and some vacuum cleaning systems even use water as a filter. Water filtration helps trap wet dust that is not airborne. Having a fully functional vacuum filter is critical to maintain the suction and dirt handling ability of the vacuum cleaner. You are not just saving yourself from the harmful effects of these dust particles but also saving the critical parts of the vacuum cleaning system from failure. We recommend you change vacuum filters regularly, once in six months atleast.

Making a settlement with debt collectors
By Ilyce Glink and Samuel J. Tamkin
Q: A while ago, I found myself between a rock and a hard place in my finances. After my child support payments increased, I found that I did not have enough to pay my credit card minimum monthly payments. And then 10 months after that, I lost my job.
That was three years ago. Today, I have another full-time job plus a part-time job, and I'm working to improve my personal finances.
My child support payments that are in arrears are automatically deducted from my paycheck every pay period. Twelve months from now, I will be caught up on those. I receive countless phone calls and mailings from debt collectors for the debts I owe on my credit cards. I have not talked to anyone because I'm not sure how to proceed.
The messages and mailings I've received indicate that there "may be" a deal to be done whereby I will only be liable for a fraction of what I owe. I used $5,000 of the $10,000 limit that I had on one of the cards. By now, with the missed interest payments and fees, it is a lot higher than that.
Up until now, I buried my head in the sand and didn't respond to any of the multiple attempts at contact. I would like to re-establish my relationship with my credit card companies, if possible. How should I handle this? I am ready to start paying back what I owe.
A: Congratulations on restarting your financial life. When you've lived through a job loss and have to watch pieces of the financial wagon literally fall off, it's hard to find a way back. By working one and a half jobs, you're taking positive steps and starting the rebuilding process.
Let's start with the bad news: The $5,000 you once spent has probably grown to nearly $10,000, with interest and late fees. From the way you describe the collection firms that are calling you incessantly, the credit card company has likely written off the debt as uncollectible and sold it to a collection firm that is now trying to recoup its investment by getting you to pay up.
Since the debt collection company probably bought your credit card debt for pennies on the dollar, they may have spent only $500 for what they will tell you is probably $10,000 now owed, or more. If the company settles with you for $3,000 or even $2,500, that's an excellent rate of return -- for them.
If you settle for less than you owe, you may have to pay something to the IRS, which may rule that the debt settlement is actually a gift to you -- called imputed income -- and you might have to pay taxes on that phantom income as if you really received it in cash. That tax bill, if owed, would be due the following April 15. So you have some time to plan for it.
Your first step is to call the credit card company and see if they still own the debt or if they've sold it. If they own it, you'll be able to negotiate with them directly, if that's what you want to do. You might also ask them to structure a repayment plan, by which the card will report you as paying as agreed while you repay what you owe over time.
If the card company has sold off the debt, you'll need to negotiate with the debt collection agency, which must follow a prescribed set of rules and regulations under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
Go to the Federal Trade Commission's consumer page and read up on how a debt collection agency must treat you and what your rights are when negotiating a debt settlement. That's one way to avoid getting ripped off.
If you're determined to pay back every cent you owe, make sure that the negotiations include how you'll be reported as paying to the three credit reporting bureaus. Most importantly, get whatever you and the debt collection agency agree to in writing before you pay them any cash whatsoever.
Good luck.

Skipper Michael Clarke has vowed there will be no complacency in the Test series with Sri Lanka, insisting Australia will improve on their recent performances against South Africa. The Australians had the better of the opening two Tests against the world number one Proteas only to be crushed by 309 runs in the series decider in Perth last week. Sri Lanka, ranked sixth in the world, have not won in 10 Tests in Australia over 25 years and are rated outsiders to upset Clarke's team in the three-Test series, beginning in Hobart on Friday. Former Australian quick Rodney Hogg has rubbished the Sri Lankan attack as the "worst ever" to come to Australia, with Nuwan Kulasekara, Shaminda Eranga and Chanaka Welegedara only having 38 Tests and 99 wickets between them. Clarke said the third-ranked Australia were focused only on beating Sri Lanka in the first Test since 168-Test great Ricky Ponting's retirement. "The opposition is irrelevant to how you judge yourself as players," he said. "Our goal is not to come out and play the same way against Sri Lanka as we did against South Africa. "We have to learn from that series, take the positives -- and I thought there were a lot of positives -- and the areas where we need to get better, we need to make sure we do that. "I'm sure that if we improve on the series against South Africa, we'll continue to have success." Mitchell Johnson has been left out for the Hobart Test with Australia opting for the pace attack of Ben Hilfenhaus, Peter Siddle and left-armer Mitchell Starc, supplemented by swing bowler Shane Watson and spinner Nathan Lyon. Recalled Phil Hughes will bat at number three with Watson at four while Clarke and veteran Mike Hussey stay at five and six in the Australian lineup now missing Ponting. "The strength and advantage we now have in our top four is that all four have opened the batting for Australia," Clarke said. "So against the new ball they will be very well suited and if we lose early wickets we're still very capable against the new ball which is a real positive."

(Updates share price in second paragraph.)
Oct. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. fell the most in two months after hedge-fund manager David Einhorn said the market for its Keurig single-cup brewers is "limited" and the company faces patent expirations.
The shares fell 10 percent to $82.50 at the close in New York, the biggest decline since Aug 18. Einhorn said he "has a position" in the shares.
"I believe the available market is smaller than the bulls believe it to be and that Green Mountain has already penetrated a good chunk of it," Einhorn, president of Greenlight Capital Inc., said today during his so-called "GAAP-uccino" presentation at the Value Investing Congress in New York. "The market is limited," he said.
The company also has a "litany of accounting questions," Einhorn said, adding that it has reduced transparency and needs to improve disclosure.
Jonathan Doorley, a spokesman for Greenlight Capital, declined to comment on Einhorn's position in Green Mountain stock. Suzanne DuLong, a spokeswoman for Green Mountain, declined to comment on Einhorn's presentation.
Green Mountain has sought to boost sales through its Keurig brewer and single-serve K-Cups. The Waterbury, Vermont-based company partnered with Starbucks Corp. and Dunkin' Brands Group Inc. earlier this year to sell branded K-Cups at cafes and in grocery and retail stores.
'Patent Issue'
Green Mountain has a "looming patent issue" on its single-serve K-Cups and may lose its ability to "monopoly price" the packets by September, Einhorn said. He said that Green Mountain declined to speak to him while citing a quiet period.
Green Mountain, led by Chief Executive Officer Lawrence Blanford, has increased more than 10-fold during the bull market that began on March 9, 2009, the third-biggest gain in the Standard & Poor's Midcap 400 Index. The shares trade for 52 times forecast earnings for 2011, compared with an average multiple of 15.4 for the index as a whole.
The company's biggest holders on June 30 included Fidelity Management with 12.5 percent of the stock, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Wellington Management had a 8.7 percent stake on that date and Vanguard Group controlled 3.3 percent, data compiled by Bloomberg showed.
Quarterly Earnings
Einhorn, the hedge fund manager best known for shorting Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. before it collapsed in September 2008, has had mixed results in 2011. His Greenlight Capital sold a stake in Yahoo! Inc. for a "modest loss," he told investors in a July letter. His attempt to buy a share of the New York Mets baseball team fell apart in September.
Green Mountain's third-quarter profit more than tripled to $56.3 million, or 37 cents a share, according to a statement in July. Sales more than doubled to $717.2 million in the quarter ended June 25 from a year ago.
Einhorn called the results "perhaps a too-good-to-be-true quarter."

text: OxyContin Effectiveness for OA Pain This med is very effective in treating many chronic pain syndromes. Drawbacks....cost and abuse ability. The abuse factor with OxyContin puts hesitation in the prescribing physicians mind. Not only to protect the public but themselves also from litigation. It's easy to take but the cost for 80mg 2 x a day for me was over a thousand dollars a month. Now you do have generic alternatives. The med is sustained release. Don't break it or crush it and it probably won't deliver the "High". It didn't for me even at 80mg Q12.

Cheryl- I have a man who plows and shovels for me, so I really can enjoy the snow However, it seems as though I just finished paying for lawn care, and I'm now I'm paying for snow removal. It never ends

Our school district just posted the closing, so I can stay home today with a clear conscience! Last night, I was telling my sister how I hoped I'd be able to stay indoors today, and she said, "Why would you go even if they're open? You're a volunteer--not a paid employee!" I guess a lifetime of getting to work regardless of the weather has become a habit that's hard to break.
So today's a DD, and I mixed some crabmeat with low fat mayo for a protein breakfast. Usually I use tuna or salmon, but I splurged on some crabmeat this week and decided it's a good idea to use a treat like that on a DD. If food is limited, it might as well be the best I have!
Big Yapper!
Leo! Got your wish after all. You are one dedicated volunteer. It's still night here, so I'm trying to assess the damage outside, but it's dark. The snow is blowing and getting deep. I haven't heard any "thunder snow", but it's going on in various places.
This is my UD, so I'm going to be able to relax a bit. Whew!

Good morning!!!
I am having a rare day staying in bed late. Lol past 5:30!! I usually get my disabled uncle up but my other uncle who lives with him is going to handle it. I hate to let him do it alone but with the snow it's a must. So here I am enjoying my morning with my little one laying next to me!
I have alot of shoveling go do today!! Kids I included. It's great exercise for them.
I am sorry but I am babbling this morning today is up day and I am prepared for it.

Morning everyone! This is supposed to be a UD but I think I will make it more of an MD or even a DD since yesterday was definitely not a DD. I was in a horrendously bad mood yesterday and seem to have taken it out in my eating. Not off plan, just more than I should have.
But today is a new day and I'll be on plan and I'll drink my water. I'm having a really hard time with that these days.
Way too much time on my hands!
Good Morning, JUDDDers! It sounds like it's a Winter Wonderland in a lot of places so enjoy your 'snowday vacations' and even your snow shoveling! Stop occasionally in your task and throw a few snowballs!
After we've been talking about the difficulty of DDs these last couple of days, I had a tough one yesterday. They usually don't bother me much at all, but for some reason I ran out of calories wa-a-a-ay before I ran out of appetite. I had to go to bed for the night just after 8:00!
And now today is an UD and I'm not even hungry. I think that just goes to show that last evenings HUNGER wasn't physical, it was emotional/mental. If it was physical empty hunger I believe I'd still be feeling empty and hungry this morning. So I'm just enjoying a mug of fabulous tea.. my sister gave me four of her precious English Afternoon Tea packets, sent to her from a friend in England, from Harrods! Ooh La La! and it is very enjoyable.

So Happy- If I get hungry on a DD after I've used up all my calories, I say to myself, "I'll eat (x--if I'm thinking of a specific food) tomorrow morning." And then I try to distract myself if I can, so that I no longer think of either hunger or food. Amazingly, I've found that tends to banish hunger. Others on JUDDD have also found that this works.
I know this hasn't happened to you before, but another trick is to keep about 50 cal in 'reserve' to eat if you really need something before bedtime. Often just knowing that I have that reserve keeps me from being hungry so I don't actually use it.
Also, if you like them and don't mind the sodium, keep a jar of dill pickles in the fridge. A big pickle only has 10 cal., and there's something about that dill, sour taste that banishes hunger.

As to the 50 calorie 'reserve' item.. I think I'd just pop that like a pill and still be looking around for the rest. LOL But I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that idea about a jar of big fat whole dill pickles. I haven't had them in ages although I've always enjoyed them pretty much, and that would be the perfect 'something' to bite into and munch on whenever I have this problem in the future. That is such a great hint. Thank you!

OMG x 120! I just got dug out from Benedict. It's not snowing anymore, but the wind is clearing the trees of their snow, and even when I was done shoveling one area, it had another inch of fresh powder. It's so bad that one of my neighbors whom I barely know, took pity on me and came over to finish behind my car with his snow blower. It's so bad that the neighbor who usually is the one to help me with my snow, was still working at his own driveway (must have been chipping away at it for nearly 6 hours.) I went over to help HIM for a change, but he stopped me and said his brother in law was coming over with his snow plow. He's out there right now, and he's having a beast of a time.
I don't know how many calories I burned, but I'm sure it was a bunch. My poor dog won't even go out and go potty! I cleaned off the back steps and cleared a round area at the base of the steps (looks like an Igloo with no roof,) but she will not use it. I extended it with a path that goes about 6 more feet. If that's not good enough for her, tough! The snow is over her head and she's a 50 lb dog (some of it was from previous snows, but most of it is new.) I think we got at least 18 inches, but it seems like a lot more. Well, enough about that.
It's an UD for me, and boy am I glad! For starters, I'm having 4 Ibuprofen with a wine chaser.
I have come to the decision that there is no such thing as a destination.

About 30 years ago, I injured my back shoveling snow, and I haven't removed any snow since! I'm fortunate that my guy had me plowed/shoveled out by 10 am (before most of my neighbors).
The NYC city news isn't making much of this storm, but it is really bad here in the Hudson Valley--deep, deep drifts.
But I'm sure that shoveling used up a ton of calories for you!

I shoveled three times today and got a workout all right. I was also worried about my back but took my time.. DH was just diagnosed with a hernia that needs fixing so no heavy lifting for him..My girls help. I was kinda mad at my neighbor who had a snow blower. There was 10inches in front of the drive way from the plows. He did not help. I am just the type of person that would give you the shirt off my back. I was so mad....I was really mad when he was doing near his mailbox and was hitting me in back with the snow!! But I looked up at the house and hubby was LOL Oh well it was definalty a moment to remeber!! I could hear my girls telling there husbands at chritmas dinners and special occasions.
Big Yapper!
I'm sorry! That was pretty cruel of him. Glad you can see the humor in it, though. That is the key to enjoying your life. Otherwise, we will all go insane.
Leo, that's great! I wish I had someone to plow me out, but my driveway isn't very plowable. I'd just end up with a mountain of snow separating me from my firewood. My back is a mess too, but it's me, myself and I living here. That's why I'm so eternally grateful for any kindness from a neighbor.
Sohappy, I've been "building up my blood" all afternoon. I've been chillin' and kicking back on a hot pad, soaking in the heat. Heaven!
Way too much time on my hands!
Oh, had such a good UD today with a very filling supper. Now we'll watch a basketball game and call it a day. I've been so lazy and even had a wonderful afternoon nap! Pure sloth! LOL
I need to give a thought to my DD foods tomorrow. DH and I will work out in the morning, and I tan and then swim and do the whirlpool tub and sauna. I'll feel wonderful after all that! And have to go buy a big, big jar of those dill pickles Leo suggested!
Hope you all had a wonderful and successful day, got everything done on your 'To Do' lists, and had plenty of time to relax and perhaps 'build up your blood'...

WOE: Going back to JUDDD
Hey there, JUDDDers! I had decided to try something new for 2011 and really like what I've read about this diet so far...hope you don't mind that I'll be joining in with you.
A little about me--I lost about 73 pounds on regular low carb about 10 years ago, but it took me almost 3 years to lose it, and then despite staying very low carb, gradually it started coming back. I'm a lifelong dieter who has had a weight problem my whole life. I've tried them all, from Weight Watchers to NutriSystem (lost my gallbladder with that one) to super low-cal--low carb was the only diet that ever worked for me, and even though I lost very very slowly I was in heaven over not being hungry all the time!
But anyway, over the past few years no matter how hard I try, no matter how "good" I am, the weight just won't go down. Truth to tell, over the past year I have basically given up and not even tried, and my steadily climbing weight says it all.
I don't know how I missed the JUDDD threads or info--guess I was just so invested in low carb that I didn't want to venture into anything else--but I've been doing a lot of reading for the past few weeks and this makes so much sense to me.
I technically started today though I've been gearing up for it since the beginning of the year. I have an almost phobic fear of being hungry after all those low-cal diets, and so I've stocked up on Miracle Noodles and marinara sauce, and gathered my Weight Watchers 0 point soup recipes. Today I had black coffee and a protein drink for breakfast (130 cals), a pack of miracle noodles with marinara sauce for mid-day (theoretically 25 but I'll say 50 since it's hard to believe those noodles have no calories) For dinner I made a big pot of one of the WW soups - nutrition facts say the whole pot has only 500 calories, so it will do me for today's DD and the next one. I had two bowls for dinner and will have one more in a bit. Night eating is a big problem for me, so this might really help.
Well...sorry for being such a blabbermouth my first time one the thread! But maybe as you can tell I'm very excited and hopeful that this is The One for me!
Way too much time on my hands!
Donna, welcome. This is such an interesting concept in health and weight loss that I was intrigued by it too. I'd read about calorie restriction with other species over quite a few years, and I knew there were some people who were eating at seriously reduced calories on their own because of their belief in the healing power of undereating rather than our normal habit of overeating, but I didn't realize there had been a 'diet' developed on the concept.
But it only makes sense to me. If you believe the results of the studies on calorie reduction on the health and lifespan of the subject animals, then it's easy to come to terms with the idea of it being very good for humans too. And it's simple math that a 500 calorie day and an 1,800 calorie day will average out to be two days of just below 1,200 calories each. Voila! That's a good weight loss calorie level, but you were only 'hungry' one of those days. And the other you were even allowed to eat pretty much anything (within reason) and go out to restaurants or eat party food occasionally and still find yourself losing weight or being able to maintain your losses. Now that's some kind of diet!
I find it quite intriguing. Good luck to you, and WELCOME.
Big Yapper!
, Donna! It's nice when newcomers give a summary of who they are and where they're coming from. It helps us get to know each other. I hope you find JUDDD is the right plan for you. I used to do Atkins, so I understand the whole LC mentality. The freedom with JUDDD is the real challenge; well, that and the DD calorie restriction. Good thing you have some ideas of low cal stuff you already enjoy.
It's late and I must "retire." TTYT, ladies. Sweet Dreams.

You seem to have a good handle on JUDDD already. I've found soup to be very filling on DDs, especially during this cold winter! In the past, I've kept broth in the freezer, too. A good 2 cups only has about 40 cal, and is also filling on a DD.
I eat low carb for health, but I'm not sure I could manage JUDDD unless I stay low carb most of the time. It keeps my appetite in check, especially on DDs. But most people on JUDDD eat carbs fairly freely, especially on UDs.
Way too much time on my hands!
Good Morning, JUDDDers! Our sky is that pale gray-white that looks like snow, but it's warm and cozy in here, and I'm getting all my morning chores done. Keeping really busy on a DD gives me double results. At the end of the day I can look back and see what all I've accomplished, AND it helps pass the time quickly without my 'appetite' voicing it's concerns quite so much.
This is Kitchen Week, so I'm cleaning in there from top to bottom, inside and out! I'm taking this opportunity to weed out all the odds and ends of dishes and pans that I always pass over and never use, which don't serve any purpose for me except to take up space. Why have I even accumulated and then kept all that 'stuff'? By the time I'm done I want to have a lean, mean kitchen!
You all have made me hungry for soup for today's DD. I'm thinking of a beefy mushroom. Will have to make a quick trip to the grocery story for mushrooms.
Wishing you all a great day!
welcome donna. Yesterday was my dd. today is gonna be a md
I need tomorrow to be ud. Its my sons birthday. I will want some
I hope you all will be having a good day.

I woke at 3 am (thanks to the cat) and discovered that my furnace was out!
It's about 10F here, so this is not a good thing. I got my plumber at dawn, but he couldn't get here until 10. It's 11 now, and he's out getting me a new "pressure switch." I'm hoping he gets one (he wasn't sure) because it's getting really cold in here!
I've heard that our bodies burn more calories to keep us warm, so that's about the only good thing in all this--but since my metabolism is so slow, I doubt that I'm burning any significant calories
Big Yapper!
Oh, no! Leo, I hope your furnace is back up and running very fast. I have had furnace trouble before and I know how cold the house can get. Bundle up and pray!
DD here. I should stay busy but I'm so LAZY. I have to go shovel again, to clear what the plow gifted me. I've had it up to HERE (chin) with snow for one week.
Have a great day, everyone.

Oh, NO, Leo! I'll bet the cat woke you because she was getting cold too. Hope you get heat back on shortly. Even then it take a bit to get the heat built back up. I know you'll go somewhere warm if it get too bad in your home, but what a disruption. I hate my comfy routine to be interrupted by these little interferences. Good luck!

Welcome to the John Dummett for President Website
Connect with us
Greetings my fellow American Patriots,
my name is John Dummett, Jr., a
Conservative Constitutionalist from the
great state of California. I will be
running on the Republican ticket to
become your 45th President of these
great United States of America.
My mission
statement is simple: I will restore
this great land back to the
Constitutional Republic as our
forefathers intended.
Read More...
November 2013, John Dummett
spoke at the Reclaim America
Rally in Washington, D.C.
The rally was held just across
the street from the White House.
America is
at an historic crossroads. Despite the mounting
challenges facing our nation, Democrats and
RINOs are turning a deaf ear to the voices of
the American People. Bent on runaway spending
and unconstitutional laws, it's clear that
today's Administration priorities do not reflect
those of the American People.
Fortunately, you can do something about it. It's
not too late for you to get involved. Sign up
today and join the Campaign to elect John
Dummett Jr. for President in 2016 and help
restore the Constitution to the American People.

Pesto, mushroom, and tofu pasta (HEALTHY!)
So as it turns out, mixing chicken (my choice of protein) with pasta is bad food combining. I was forced to get a little creative with this one since it would be out of the question to JUST have pasta for dinner (protein obsessed boyfriend, remember?), and I was not ready to let go of pasta completely. And it was then that pesto, mushroom, & tofu pasta was born! It is easy, yummy, AND healthy!
What you need:
- Bag of spiral pasta
- Tofu (firm)
- Mushrooms, slices
- Black olives, slices
- 2 tblspns capers
- Pesto sauce
- Nature's seasoning (basically salt & pepper in one)
What to do:
- Cook your tofu in a saucepan with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning on all sides. It will turn a little golden when done.
- In another saucepan cook your mushrooms until they extract their juice
- Cook your pasta to perfection
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl & serve
Although pesto can be bough pre-made, the small packages in the store are fast and tend to be more flavorful. Substitute water for milk and you will want to drink it up!
Tofu will look like this when it is done….

.- Archbishop Donald Wuerl says he has no plans to prevent House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from receiving Communion despite her overt support for abortion, embryonic same-sex research, and same-sex marriage.
The Archbishop of Washington, D.C., was criticized recently for failing to speak out against Pelosi's attendance at a Mass on Jan. 3 at her alma mater, Trinity University.
While in San Diego on Jan. 13-14, the archbishop told the California Catholic Daily that Pelosi's attendance at the Mass at Trinity "was a matter between the university and Nancy."
"They were offering their location, and the Mass was celebrated by a priest with faculties, and there was no reason to make any comment," he told the online newspaper.
When asked if he would advise ordained ministers to deny Pelosi Communion, the archbishop responded: "You're talking about a whole different style of pastoral ministry. No."
Pelosi has been criticized in some Catholic circles for publicizing her attendance at the Trinity University Mass and at St. Leo the Great Church in Baltimore.
Prior to the Mass at Trinity, American Life League president Judie Brown reportedly implored Archbishop Wuerl to intervene in the matter.
"Rep. Pelosi has a tremendous opportunity to make a difference for all human beings as the most powerful Catholic in Congress," said Brown. "Unfortunately, she continually supports the very act that destroys life rather than protects it. It is for this very reason that a Catholic institution should not condone or support her position as a legislator."
When Pelosi was sworn in as the Speaker of the House, Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, praised Pelosi for championing "pro-choice values" for her nearly 20 years in public office.

Every year has threatened to be "the year of the Cloud" but my main prediction for 2013 IT industry developments will be that yes, this is the year that it cements its role as the most major of technology disruptions.
It's hard for Cloud to be defined in such a delineated manner, as it has been underway as a technology trend for many years, there is a wide spectrum of categories of what's involved which are all continually evolving and also customer adoption has also been underway for many to various extents.
So it's already been the Cloud for quite some time and so a bit late to make it the Year Of.
Probably the best context is Crossing the Chasm terms, where we can be thought of as still being in the Early Adopter phase of the cycle, while it is a large-scale, slow moving process.
Hence it could be considered The Year of the Cloud when we cross this chasm, when the mass market moves to also migrate the bulk of their IT systems. This scale of shift is what drives the analysts to start the describing the $$ many billions growth markets, and despite the various technical challenges we see now ultimately the trend is inevitable and so it's an investors paradise, really.
As Telus described in this news release last year here the primary concern users have about the Cloud is data security and compliance, and so we can see addressing this is the principle requirement for this large scale adoption.
So in short with this being a key area of the Cloud industry that will mature in 2013, combined with an already general ongoing acceptance and steady adoption, there will be an explosive accelerating effect that will propel progress across the chasm.
With an irrefutable capability to assure Cloud environments to meet regulatory compliance needs will provide the foundation that makes 2013 The Year of the Trusted Cloud.
For a more detailed discussion of this topic, check out our latest TRANSFORM e-magazine, which explores these Cloud Security best practices in detail, and how they might be applied to high-growth sectors like E-Health.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

Prescriptive authority for psychologists movement
The Prescriptive authority for psychologists (RxP) movement is a public health initiative to give prescriptive authority to psychologists with 2 years of postdoctoral Masters degreed training, or Continuing Education training in clinical psychopharmacology and related sciences, followed by 1 – 2 years of supervised prescribing, or a Certificate from the Department of Defense program, or the Board Certified Diplomate from the Prescribing Psychologists Register (FICPP or FICPPM) to enable them, according to state law, to prescribe psychotropic medications to treat mental and emotional disorders. Prior to RxP legislation and in states where it has not been passed, this role is played by psychiatrists, who possess a medical degree and thus the authority to prescribe medication (whose numbers, advocates assert, are at a critical shortage), and by primary care physicians who can prescribe psychotropics but (advocates argue) lack extensive training in psychotropic drugs and in diagnosing and treating psychological disorders. According to the American Psychological Association, the professional organization representing the interests of psychologists, the movement is a reaction to the growing public need for mental health services, particularly in less urbanized and therefore under-resourced areas where patients have little or no access to psychiatrists. [1]
Currently, in states where RxP legislation has been passed, psychologists who seek prescriptive authority must possess a doctoral level degree (PhD/PsyD/EdD) and a license to practice independently, with five years of clinical experience working with patients as a health care provider, and complete a post-doctoral Master of Science degree or any of the training programs from the Department of Defense, the Prescribing Psychologists' Register Diplomate Certification, or a post-doctoral Master of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology degree. A Preceptorship of one year of supervised work experience working directly with a licensed prescribing health professional for 100 patient supervision, makes the training a total of approximately 4 years. The medications the psychologist may then prescribe are limited to those indicated for mental and emotional health problems.
Psychologists' involvement in pharmacotherapy exists on a continuum, with psychologists serving as prescribers, collaborators, and information providers in the medical decision-making process. Currently, psychologists may prescribe in three states, Illinois, New Mexico and Louisiana, as well as in the Public Health Service, the U.S. military and Guam. When psychologists act as collaborators, they lack the authority to make the final decision to prescribe; however, they may assist in the process by recommending clinically desirable treatment effects, certain classes of medications, specific medications, dosages, or other aspects of the treatment regimen. Psychologists also provide information that may be relevant to the prescribing professional. Psychologists may express concerns about treatment, refer patients for medication consults, direct patients to referral or information sources, or discuss with patients how to address their concerns about medication with the prescriber.[2]
The first bill seeking to authorize prescription privileges to psychologists was introduced in Hawaii in 1985 under Hawaii State Resolution 159. The bill allowed licensed psychologists in the state of Hawaii to administer and prescribe psychotropic medication for the treatment of nervous, mental, and organic brain disorders.[3] A total of 88 prescriptive authority bills have been introduced in 21 jurisdictions since then.[3]
In 1988, the U.S. Department of Defense approved a pilot project to train psychologists in issuing psychotropic medications "under certain circumstances". Guam became the first U.S. territory to approve RxP legislation in 1999. New Mexico became the first state to approve RxP legislation in 2002, and Louisiana followed in 2004. In 2014, Illinois became the third state to approve RxP legislation. Five other states have introduced RxP bills that are under discussion but have yet to be approved.[4][5]
The State of New Mexico was the first to enact a Psychologists prescribing law, which is still in effect. Louisiana's legislature established medical psychology as a separate and distinct healthcare profession and transferred the regulation of their practice of medical psychology to the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners. At this time, the entire practice of psychology (for medical psychologist) including psychotherapy and psychological testing was also transferred to the Louisiana Board of Medical Examiners, effectively making Louisiana the only state in the U.S. where, for some psychologists, a medical board has authority over the regulation of the entire practice of psychology. Because of this, several national organizations, including the American Psychological Association and the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards have expressed concern over a practice of psychology being regulated by another profession (i.e., medicine). The Louisiana Psychological Association has strongly echoed such concerns. However, the Louisiana Academy of Medical Psychologists, a Political Action Committee representing medical psychologists in that state, strongly endorsed this change of regulation by another profession.
APA Guidelines[edit]
In December 2011, the American Psychological Association (APA) published a list of practice guidelines that apply to all prescribing activities, with some also applicable to collaborating and information providing activities. The list is categorized according to the area of psychologists' involvement in pharmacological issues (general, education, assessment, intervention and consultation). The following list summarizes the guidelines by section.[6]
- Guidelines 1 through 3 encourage psychologists to act within the scope of their practice with regards to prescribing psychotropic medications, which includes seeking consultation before recommending certain medications; emphasize that psychologists' evaluate their own views and opinions towards prescribing medications in light of how it may affect communication with patients; and expect that psychologists involved in medication prescription or collaboration be wary of developmental, age, educational, sex, gender, language, health status, and cultural factors involved in populations a psychologist may serve, with regards to pharmacotherapy.
- Guidelines 4 through 6 require that psychologists attain a level of education specific to pharmacotherapy in order to serve their clients; expect that psychologists be wary of potential adverse side effects of psychotropic medications; and ask that psychologists that prescribe or collaborate with regards to medication prescription be aware of helpful technological resources that are available.
- Guidelines 7 through 9 require that psychologists familiarize themselves with procedures for monitoring the physiological and psychological effects of medications; expect that psychologists who prescribe medications consider other physiological disorders or underlying diseases that the patient may have that could affect the effectiveness of medications; and encourage psychologists to consider issues about patient adherence and concerns about medications.
*Intervention and Consultation
- Guidelines 10 through 15 require that psychologists employ a biopsychosocial approach when prescribing medications and that they also use informed consent procedures, act in the best interest of the patient, and consider current research; emphasize that psychologists be wary of commercial influences regarding medications; and encourage psychologists to consider the patient's interpersonal behaviors.
- Guidelines 16 and 17 expect that psychologists maintain appropriate relationships with other providers of psychological services and biological interventions.
Supporting arguments[edit]
There are several core arguments put forth by RxP advocates, including the following:
- Other non-physicians have prescription privileges, such as pharmacists, optometrists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. Some advocates have asserted that the latter three professions receive less training in clinical pharmacology, therapeutics, and psychopharmacology than many clinical psychologists.[7]
- The statistics point to multiple content areas in which the other professions, such as Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners, Physicians are relatively deficient in comparison to pharmacologically trained psychologists' preparation.[8]
- The training model is supported by a complete lack of legal complaint after eight years regarding the practice of the initial ten psychologists trained by the U.S. Department of Defense.[7] Legal complaints differ from legal suits, as military personnel cannot sue for redress.[9]
- Access to medication would be improved in jurisdictions with long waiting times to see a psychiatrist or other qualified physician.[10]
- The prescriptive authority would be enhanced by the psychologist's doctoral training in the science of psychology, assessment, and psychotherapy. This training is more extensive than that received by the average physician. In addition, the training program for psychologists would provide twice as much pharmacology training than nurse practitioners and physician assistants receive .[10]
- It would address the fact that many lack access to psychiatrists (especially in rural areas).[11][12]
- It would create a clearer distinction between doctoral and masters-level practitioners,[11] and between doctoral and post-doctoral level practitioners.[13]
- In circumstances in which the psychologist decided not to collaborate with medical colleagues, it could allow the psychologist control of the entire treatment process. In some cases, this might reduce or eliminate complications arising from interprofessional collaboration and potentially save clients money.[11]
- Psychologists with prescriptive authority would add competence to the overall mental health system by adding a resource for general practitioners who need professional consultation regarding psychological disorders and psychotropic medications when a psychiatrist is unavailable.[14]
- Psychopharmaceutical training allows psychologists to provide better advocacy for their clients.[14]
According to a survey assessing the views of psychology interns, residents, and psychologists published in the journal Professional Psychology: Research and Practice, significant support exists regarding the APA's prescriptive authority initiative.[6] Proponents of the prescriptive authority initiative believe that it would improve the economic stability of the profession, provide better opportunities to underserved populations, and enhance psychologists' clinical skills through a better understanding of biopsychosocial interactions.[15] Support for the prescriptive authority initiative also appears higher amongst those with PsyDs and early-career psychologists than those with PhDs and mid- and late-career psychologists. Demographically, females and Caucasians expressed more willingness to seek prescription privileges.[6] Also, those who attended a clinical or counseling graduate program, received a PhD degree, and those employed in a university counseling center, medical school hospital, or independent practice tend to demonstrate higher levels of support for the initiative. In terms of training, an overwhelming majority of those surveyed believe training should begin at the graduate level, but prior to completion of a doctorate. Additionally, respondents preferred that training occur on a part-time basis, be completed within 6 months to two years, and cost under $10,000.[6]
Today, evidence exists to indicate a continual and growing level of support for the American Psychological Association's prescriptive authority initiative. Such support reflects psychologists' willingness to open their minds to learning about psychotropic medications, incorporating pharmacological treatment with therapy, and adapting to the demands of a rapidly changing health care world.[6]
|This section may stray from the topic of the article. (March 2011)
Prescriptive authority for other medical professionals who are not physicians (e.g., nurse-practitioners and pharmacists) has been controversial, even within the community of physicians. In the same way, there are psychologists who have raised objections to prescriptive authority for psychologists. Specifically, critics within the psychological profession have expressed concern that, if RxP became the norm, the biomedical approach could begin to encroach on the traditional psychology curriculum and that clinicians in training might eventually receive less grounding in psychotherapeutic interventions and research. At the present time, only psychiatrists who practice psychotherapy and psychologists with prescriptive authority are uniquely qualified to fit the treatment modality (pharmacology and/or psychotherapy) to patients' mental health needs. Some psychologists opposing prescriptive authority fear caseload pressures that might press increasing numbers of psychologists to respond to patients' needs via only one treatment modality (pharmacology), as do many psychiatrists.[16]
Apprehensiveness towards the RxP movement may also be traced back to a series of events that occurred in the 1980s and 1990s. First, the introduction of the class of antidepressants known as serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), also known as fluoxetine marketed under the name Prozac, between 1985 and 1999 let to a momentous increase in psychotropic drug prescription. In the 1990s, the New York Times declared the millions of Americans taking Prozac created a "legal drug culture", as antidepressants accounted for a 13.5% increase in the number of drugs prescribed during medical visits.[3] There was also a significant rise in the amount of unwanted and serious side effects that accompanied the increased prescription of such drugs, especially in children and adolescents. As a result, concern then grew regarding the over-prescription of antidepressants and their safety.
Second, around the same time, the efficacy of both medication-based and psychotherapy-based treatments for depression were subjected to close scientific study. In 1989, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) conducted a study called the Treatment of Depression Collaborative Research Program (TDCRP), which found various forms of depression treatments—interpersonal psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, antidepressant medication plus clinical management, or placebo plus clinical management—to be almost equally effective. Since then, proponents of pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapy have tirelessly attempted to prove one to be more effective than the other, with no definitive result.
Finally, the third event is the discovery of a substantial placebo response rate associated with antidepressant treatment, which has been shown to average 30-35%. Despite general rejection amongst clinicians that such a placebo effect denotes antidepressants as less effective, the placebo effect continues to serve as a strong basis for opposition over the use of antidepressants in therapy.[3] Irving Kirsch, an associate director of the Placebo Studies Program at Harvard Medical School and Department of Psychology in University of Connecticut, is also a strong proponent of placebo treatments over antidepressant pills for mild depressed patients. He suggests that another professions, such as psychologists, shouldn't have a prescriptive authority because psychoactive drugs, such as antidepressant, are par to placebo pills and are ineffective treatments in certain cases.[17]
As Fox et al. (2009) found, most current opposition stems from the above stated events in the 1980s and '90s, and revolves around concerns about the overuse of psychotropic medications, the replacement of psychotropics for verbal or behavioral therapies, and the effectiveness of psychotropic medications in general.[3] According to the APA, some also express concern that the RxP movement may exert pressure on psychologists that could lend itself to disparities in adherence to ethical and legal standards.[2] Today, the dichotomy between those that support and those that oppose the RxP movement serves to hinder its progress in gaining legislative and authoritative support.
