Programmatic Donor Recognition in a Picture
As a donor recognition consultant, I am asked often what I mean when I refer to a programmatic approach to donor recognition. This one picture says it all.

Was reminded this week of how often not-for-profit websites miss the opportunity to inform, invite, excite and even IGNITE giving on-line.

A Troubling Trend for Fundraising
Fundraisers might well take note that although the annual total for giving in the US is rising, the number of donors is falling. Continued giving and donor retention have long been seen as keys to long term fundraising success. Yet the acquisition of new donors may be most important to assuring a viable future for a non profit.
Read more in depth about The Long Term Trend that is Going Unnoticed.
As a donor recognition program consultant, my identification of actions and policies that influence donor retention and continued giving are vital to my work as counsel to fundraisers. This trend of major donor attrition is one I have "felt" but could not prove myself. I appreciated having this highlighted for me.
Dennis W. Linderbaum of UnityPoint Health Foundation, upon reading about this trend said he has seen real evidence of this with both their employee campaigns and overall fundraising efforts. His reality supports that they are raising more money from fewer people. He says that "the old 80-20 rule has been replaced by a 95-5 or perhaps even a 97-3 rule — 97% of the funds raised come from 3%" of their donors.
Interestingly, he acknowledged that "this could be a sign of the economic situation where the middle class has seen its resources diminish ever since 1980 or so". But he suggests another, troubling reality that may be influencing the decline. This may well be the result of what he called an "incredible increase in competition from an ever-growing non-profit sector".
Fundraisers must be vigilant within their own internal analyses to understand their own trend(s) and to identify and address to the causes for it.

Donor Recognition + Meaningful Experience = An Inspired Viewer
Donor Recognition efforts dedicated publicly to inform, excite and invite participation by every viewer is not easy to do. Saying "thank you" without seeming obligatory or impersonal, while being aimed at stirring the emotion and intent of a viewer to action is the today's new paradigm.
We know that donor recognition plaques and program displays can no longer be about the simple display of donor lists by gift level, or about portraiture or even by thoughtfully chosen take-home gifts.
And even though fundraising personnel now expresses their love of technology as being a life saver to lists-making and quick-change, it's not about that, either.
It must now simply be about creating memorable viewer experiences. Creative story-telling, donor and program memorabilia, easy change/refreshing of content, and viewer interaction with the presentation all serve to motivate giving and to assist in donor retention.
The world of donor recognition is changing; fundraisers AND product manufacturers are struggling to leave behind yesterday's methods of plaque-by-plaque, disconnected donor acknowledgments. Instead, the goal is to implement memorable graphic presentations that actually engage each viewer (prospective donor). To think before you thank.
New best practices are being invented daily creating organization-specific, new philanthropy experiences by which prospective donors are stirred to action: to give or just to learn more. Inspiration to action is key.
We've said for years that if donor recognition is an inanimate communicator with viewers/prospects, stewardship and fundraising professionals owe it to themselves to take a moment and self-evaluate by asking themselves, 'What are we saying via our plaques and displays?" "Are the messages being conveyed actually what we intend/need to be saying?" What would you answer to such questions?

ISPconfig3 and webalizer create confusion.
Following the Howto: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...04-ispconfig-3 I set up my server as: server1.domain1.com. Created client1 with domain1.com. Created my website on it. No issues.
Then I created 2 more domains for client1.
Initially I could only access the first website with Filezilla over SFTP-SSH. After I changed the owners of web2 and web3 to web1:client1, I could also access these sites with the same username as defined for web1.
root@server1:~# ls -l /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/
LogFile /var/log/apache2/access.log
LogFile /var/log/apache2/domain1.com/access.log
LogFile /var/log/apache2/domain1.com/access.log
Sofar I have in /etc/webalizer 1 webalizer.conf file for domain1.
LogFile /var/log/apache2/domain1.com/access.log
My questions:
1. Why did I have to set the server hostname to server1.domain1.com. Why not to just server1?
2. Why does domain3 have owners: web1:cllient1 and the others root:root. Should I change these manually and if yes to what?
3. What should I change in the webalizer.conf files for the 3 domains? They all have the same outputdir as my webalizer.conf file in /etc/webalizer. Domain 2 and 3 use the logfile from domain1 and domain1 uses the logfile from apache2.
Hope you understand why I am confused. :confused:
To your other questions:
1) Because every server that is connected to the internet needs a fully qualified hostname. Otherwise other servers can not lookup its hostname.
2) Most likely because you broke the system with your changes.
3) This is not a file from ispconfig nor used by ispconfig. ispconfig configures webalizer on the commandline and creates the stats for the domains based on the vhost logfiles. The /etc/webalizer file is most likely from your linux distribution and should be disabled.
I undid the changes I made.
With respect to point 3, I believe that is due to the Howto which I followed which installs webalizer.
Domain2 and domain3 I have to resinstall. Will do that tomorrow.
Thanks for your help.:o

Live Social Media Marketing Events: Are You Attending or Intending?
Social media marketing events are happening all around us and with every one there are new opportunities waiting to be had. However, without setting your intentions before attending, your mind doesn't know what to be on the look out for and you will miss golden opportunities right in front of you.
When I say "intention", I mean much more than just a casual "when I get there I'm hoping to meet so-and-so". Intentions are when your thoughts, desires, and focus are all in harmony. Be clear (focus) on your business objectives (dreams) and your thoughts will line up to start noticing opportunities. They will be attracted to you. (Be sure to check out Hardwiring Your Brain for Marketing Success!)
Intentions are important in any area of your marketing success, but especially when attending live events because things are constantly moving and changing. Your chance to talk or network face to face with a top influencer can be a fleeting moment that you may never see again.
Below are 8 intentions to get you started, but take the time to put some thought into them and make them your own. Really dig in and you'll be amazed at how opportunities just appear because your thoughts are focused on finding them.
1. Make a list of questions
Before you go to the event sit down and think about your business goals. You should already know what you intend to accomplish and have a plan on how to get there. If you're really working towards your goals and you're growing, chances are you will have hit a few forks in the road or may need a little advice from someone more experienced.
Write those questions down that you've been holding in the back of your head that've been keeping you from taking your business to the next level. Sometimes you don't even know what it is that's holding you back….thinking about it will bring to the surface what the real reason is. Once you know what it is, think about questions you might ask and who might be the most qualified to answer. Seek out those experts while you're there.
2. Plan A Mini-Interview With Your Top Picks
These questions are different than the ones you prepared in step one. Those questions focused on you and your specific business ideas or roadblocks you're experiencing. These are about the Speaker and their business success. You might even consider video taping and posting to your blog as a mini-interview.
Write down who you want to meet while you're at the event and make a list of all the questions you want to ask them. If you know someone you admire or respect in your industry is going to be there write their name and some specific questions about their success like, "What are the thee most crucial things you did that got you to where you are today?" Or, "If you were starting all over again what advice would you give yourself?"
3. Research The Event Speakers
Many times you may attend an event that has well known Keynote Speakers, but you may not be familiar with some of the workshop Speakers or Presenters. Before you go to the event do your homework and find out everything you can about the Speakers: what their latest project is, what's their specific niche in the industry, who do they associate with, what are some of the latest conversations they've been having?
The best place to start is their blog's "About Me" page to get some background information, then browse the rest of their blog to see what kind of content they are putting out. Check their Twitter conversations and blog commenting. You can check Disqus or Backtype to see what comments they have left on other blogs. Get a feel for what they are all about and where their attention is right now so you have something pertinent to talk about.
Once you get to know each of the Speakers better you may find that, while it's great to meet the big dogs, one of the other Presenters may be someone more in line with your business desires. Be prepared when you go….have set intentions.
4. Buddy Up
Find a live event buddy and hold each other accountable. You may not be able to attend all the workshops at the live event but if you have a buddy you can split up and agree to share notes after the event. How many times have you taken tons of notes and then gone home to set them on a shelf to never look at them again? Use the buddy strategy to hold each other accountable to actually do something with your notes.
When the event is over meet with your buddy before you part ways to debrief and set your intentions on what you're each going to implement, Write down the action steps for when you get home. Set an appointment to meet with your event buddy no more than 3 days after the event. Don't let the inspiration fade. Then agree to have accountability chats once a week to see if you you're completing your action steps.
This may morph into a partnership or a joint venture. So make sure you find a good buddy!
5. Craft your brand
When you go to a live event you need to brand yourself just like you would online. Have your 3 minute elevator speech memorized so when you meet someone you can quickly share. Your intentions should shine through and your brand should be easily understood. Boil it down to three things:
- Who you are
- What you do
- Why you are here
For example, if I was going to a live blogging event I may say something like, "My name is Coree Silvera from Market Like A Chick. I share principles behind marketing with social media and event community management. I'm here to stay on top of the latest trends in social media and to meet other people in the industry."
I tell those I meet enough about me so that they can ask some specific questions, like what is event community management, or how did you get started. Then you can have a meaningful conversation instead of, "Where are you from?" Or, "Man, it's hot/cold!"
6. Have Business Cards
Give yourself a few weeks ahead of time to order just in case. Make sure you have your contact information on the front and your brand's tag line on the back. Or, if you're an affiliate marketer, you can put the URL to your top three affiliate links. You might also print a special discount on product/services on the back of the card to encourage them to look further.
Be sure to include your social networking user names so it's easy to find you. One of the most annoying things is to go to a social media marketing event and get a business card without the person's social media info. At least include your Twitter name.
Remember the goal is not how many cards you give out but how many you get so YOU can follow up with them. If they don't have a card write down their info so you can follow up with them. Or, if you are really smart, one of the best ways to exchange social media information instantly is with a Poken! They are neat little gadgets that just take a click of a button to sync each others info onto a USB stick and save to your computer.
7. Stay Organized
As you get those questions you wrote down answered, cross them off your list and make a note of where to find the answer in your notes. Many times the Speaker may answer your question in their presentation so cross it off & make a new question that is more in depth. Whatever questions are left over you can then seek out the proper people to answer them.
Find a system that works for you while taking your notes. Maybe you want to bring a divided notebook for each topic or each workshop. At the very least remember to write the date, name of event, name of workshop, Speaker and the Speaker's Twitter handle. It only takes a second or two and will save you time later when you're looking for that tip you heard while you were at the event.
8. Go Early, Stay Late
Some of the best time to network is before and after the event. I know several people that don't even go to the workshops, but pay to be there just for the networking and hang out in the exhibitor area the whole time. Personally, I want to go to the workshops and learn something new to share with my readers or to enhance my service. So, I don't have time to network in between workshops.
You've probably traveled far and paid a lot of money to come to the event so make the most out of it. Get to the event early and stay late if you can. By doing this you will have a better chance of catching a moment to chat with some of the Speakers. Your time there is valuable there so make the most of it!
Being clear about what your business intentions are and why you are going to the event will make it much more meaningful and you'll come away with fresh ideas, contacts, and action steps. This is the difference between merely "attending" an event or "intending" to seize every opportunity at an event. Your time and money are valuable, go with purpose!
What's your best tip to get the most out of a live social media event? Have you ever gone to an event without any clear purpose of what you wanted to get out of it? How can you line up your intentions with the next event you're planning on attending? Share any stories of how you used an event to create a new joint venture, move past a roadblock, or how you may have missed an opportunity because you weren't prepared.
To Your Success,

Attending Live Social Media Events – Which Events Are Right For You?
Live events are a great way to network with others in your business field. Human interaction builds strong relationships. Also, you get to practice those networking skills in person. But, what events are right for you?
Live events are going on all around you. The trick: knowing where to look.
Where To Find Events of Interest
- Visit your favorite blogs for information. If your bloggers are speaking or attending a conference they will want to let their readers know about it. Most of the time you will see a badge or a list in the sidebar or if they're very busy speakers you may find a separate page with their engagements listed. Ask for more information if they don't provide a link.
- Visit forums. Business forums usually have a place where they list upcoming events both online and offline. Check to see which are close to you and if they are on a topic that interests you.
- Visit social networking sites. These are great for business connections. If friends are hosting events or attending, they may post an invite to the event for their business contacts. Read the information and attend.
- See my events list. Since you're here on my blog I figure you're interested in some of the same events I am. You can see my wish list of events I'm looking to be SPONSORED for on my Sponsor Me page.
If you're a business looking for a professional conference blogger that's the page to find one! Whether it be me or another blogger, it's important to know how to reach out to a blogger and find the best match. I wrote an article on Branding With Blogger Outreach that may be helpful in your approach.
If you're a blogger that would like to be sponsored for an event, let me know and I'll post a few of the tips I've learned.
JD Lasica put together an awesome Calendar for 2010 conferences and events that lists best social media, technology, media and marketing conferences for the upcoming year. It's a great starting point for your research.
Finding Events For Your Interests or Niche
The live events you choose may interest you in two ways:
- Professionally
- Personally
Professionally, choose live events that are relevant to your business. You wouldn't attend a crafting seminar if you sell gardening supplies. And, you probably would pass on a seminar that highlights how offline businesses can get into online markets if you already own an online business.
It can be hard to decide if you are new to online business. Because you aren't sure what you need to know, you don't know what live events will be best for you. Here are some pointers:
- Check geographic location – Your first time out, you might want to stay close to home to lower costs. Money is often tight when you just get up and running.
- Look at event registration costs – Now, money is not the only consideration. As the fees get more expensive, your attendees will reach a different caliber as well. And, some events are tax deductible as a business expense. What we are talking about here is to see if you can swing the cost for a highly rated event that will benefit your business in many ways. Or you could consider offering your promotion skills for a brand that can't attend an event and be sponsored to go.
- Look at the speakers – Who is coming that you really feel you can learn from? Don't go just because the speaker is well known…make sure their topic and speaking style is going to be something that you will be able to absorb and implement in your own business. If the speakers are some of your favorite bloggers or online business owners that you have been wanting to meet, don't pass up the chance to have your questions answered and gain some insight.
Choosing a live event to attend doesn't have to be a hard decision. Gather as much information as you can about upcoming events, their location and fees so you can map out your networking strategy. Be prepared with which sessions you want to attend, who you want to meet with, and what you will say when you do meet your mentors in person. (Perfect that elevator speech!)
What events are you planning on attending this year? Why did you choose those? Have you found any other sites that list upcoming events that you can share? Please leave your questions or tips below in the comment section. I love hearing from you!
To Your Success,
P.S. –> When you attend events your goal is to network and collect as many contacts as possible to follow up with later. Show your digital style, save precious time, and stay organized with a sweet little gadget called Poken. You can collect social network info with one touch of a button and it's saved forever. Check out the post I wrote on How To Exchange Social Media Contact Info Instantly at Events for more info on Poken.

The following information may be out of date due to the recent passage of the 2014 Farm Bill. Please refer to our blog for the most up to date food and farm policy news.
Since 2002 there has been a trend toward emphasizing financial assistance for conservation on working lands: land that is in crop production or grazing/livestock production. This is a departure from the period between 1985 and 2002 when conservation policy emphasized land retirement: paying farmers to remove environmentally sensitive land from crop production for a specific time period. As of February 2008, almost 37 million acres – or 10 percent of U.S. cropland were retired from crop production.
The shift to working-lands conservation recognizes the multiple benefits of agriculture – that agriculture can provide food and fiber, as well as help provide healthy soils, clean water, habitat for native wildlife, renewable energy, and other conservation benefits.
In addition to the Conservation Stewardship Program, the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) has worked to advance other federal working-lands conservation programs, including:

Police said they're investigating the discovery of a badly decomposed body in the 4800 block of Roe Avenue.
Chief John Morris said the body was found in a wooded area. He said investigators were not able to determine the gender or race of the person.
An autopsy is planned to help identify the body and find out how the person died.
Police said it was too soon to say whether the discovery was related to any missing persons reports in the area.

Happy Endings had all the ingredients for a quick midseason burn-off show: It premiered in April in a 10 p.m. time slot with back-to-back episodes that aired out of order. But the sharp-tongued, pop culture-referencing sitcom soon developed a devoted following to earn a surprising renewal. "I think it was the fifth episode where I was Max's beard and Penny dated [the guy named] Hitler that it started clicking," Eliza Coupe, who plays Jane, tells TVGuide.com. "It was such a well-written episode. I felt like that was when people got into it." See what else the actress has to say about the show's "amazing" (or is it "a-mah-zing"?) fans, why Brad and Jane are not the Drapers, and Jane's quest this week to find her egg baby — the child she believes was conceived from an egg she donated in college.

Acceleration as a subset of performance is determined by the power-to-weight ratio, and that could be all over the board in the S-10 game because of the myriad iterations. As it did (and does) with the full-size trucks, Chevy built an amazing number of configurations. There's the standard cab (no back seat, no storage to speak of), an extended cab, and, beginning in 1996, a third, driver's side door on those models.
By 2001, Chevy had followed the then-current small-truck trend with a four-door crew-cab iteration. There are many, many trim levels: Choose from Base or LS, plus variations like the Wide Stance, Xtreme, ZR2 (big tires and 4WD), in addition to suspension options.
The S-10 had mechanical issues, prompting four brake-system-specific recalls. Owners also rate the early trucks' brake feel as subpar. Through 1997, the S-10's fuel-injection system is said to be troublesome, as are the transmissions and transfer cases in the 1995-2002 models.
While the first S-10 in 1994 is currently valued slightly above the outgoing Toyota Pickup, it significantly lags behind the next year's offerings, when Toyota introduced the Tacoma, particularly where 4WD trucks are concerned. (The Toyota has dramatically better resale.) Overall, the S-10's value remains close to the Ford Ranger's, making the larger, more-powerful Chevy an enticing choice.

A three-run homer by rehabbing major leaguer Mike Olt in the fifth inning keyed the Cougars' 7-3 victory over Wisconsin in the first-round opener of the Midwest League playoffs on Wednesday night.
Olt was recently assigned to the Cougars' roster as a rehab appearance after straining his left hamstring with the Iowa Cubs in August. Olt was scheduled for three at-bats and took advantage of them. After Shawon Dunston's walk and Mark Zagunis' single, Olt launched a three-run homer over the center field wall for a 5-1 Cougars' advantage.
Carlos Penalver helped the Cougars to jump in front with a sacrifice fly in the top of the second inning that scored Jacob Rogers. Yasiel Balaguert doubled home Dunston in the third.
Jen-Ho Tseng (1-0) allowed two hits through his six innings as both hits turned into runs.
Tyler Ihrig (1) came on in the seventh for a three-inning save, allowing one run in the bottom of the ninth.
Trey Martin's two-run single in the eighth inning gave the Cougars a cushion.
The Cougars come back home to Fifth Third Bank Ballpark in Geneva on Thursday at 6 p.m. for game two of the best-of-three series. Duane Underwood (6-4) takes the mound for Kane County against Wisconsin's Preston Gainey (5-9). The game is on WBIG-AM (1280) and kccougars.com.Tags: Baseball, Kane County Cougars

Affordable Hearing Aids Now Available To U.S. Veterans Through New Program From Hi HealthInnovations
hi HealthInnovations, a UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) company and Optum business, has launched a new program to make hearing aids more affordable for U.S. veterans and their spouses.
The new program offers veterans and their spouses high-quality, custom-programmed digital hearing aids for as little as $649 to $849 each, depending on the model chosen. That compares to some hearing aids that retail for as much as $4,000 each.
Hearing loss is a growing health concern for some veterans, in part because of their history of noise exposure experienced during their time of service. Hearing loss is the second most common health condition among veterans, affecting more than 670,000 members of the armed forces nationwide, according to The Hearing Journal.
To access the discount program, veterans work with a health professional, such as an audiologist, hearing aid dispenser or primary care physician, to get their hearing tested. Those results, along with a copy of the veteran's military ID card or discharge papers, can then be submitted by either fax or mail:
- Fax test results to: 1-877-955-4336
- Mail test results to: hi HealthInnovations, 3033 Momentum Place, Chicago, IL 60689.

Meritor Announces Execution Of Fifth Supplemental Indenture To The Indenture Governing Its 8-1/8% Notes Due 2015
TROY, Mich., May 24, 2013 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Meritor, Inc. (NYSE: MTOR), announced today that it and the trustee under the indenture governing its 8-1/8% Notes due 2015 (the "Notes") have executed a supplemental indenture to effect proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Notes. Meritor had previously announced that holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes had tendered their Notes and delivered their consents to the proposed amendments pursuant to its previously announced cash tender offer and consent solicitation (the "Offer and Consent Solicitation").
The proposed amendments are described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated May 7, 2013 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and a related Consent and Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"). The amendments set forth in the supplemental indenture will not become operative until Meritor has accepted for purchase a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Notes pursuant to the terms of the Offer and Consent Solicitation. A holder's right to withdraw tendered Notes and revoke delivered consents expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 17, 2013.
The Offer and Consent Solicitation will expire at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on June 5, 2013, unless extended or earlier terminated, and remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including, among others, Meritor receiving proceeds from a debt financing transaction sufficient to purchase and pay accrued interest on all Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase by Meritor and to pay all fees and expenses in connection with the Offer and Consent Solicitation and debt financing transaction.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. is acting as the dealer manager and solicitation agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation. Global Bondholder Services Corporation is acting as both the depositary and the information agent. Persons with questions regarding the Offer and Consent Solicitation should contact Citigroup Global Markets Inc. at (toll-free) (800) 558-3745 or (collect) (212) 723-6106. Requests for copies of the Offer to Purchase, Letter of Transmittal and other related materials should be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation at (toll-free) (866) 937-2200 or (collect) (212) 430-3774.

Haiti's Michael Brun Talks EDM Stardom and Label
By Jacob Katel
The brothers Gales -- Manuel, Eugene, and Eric -- are left-handed guitar-playing siblings from Memphis who have each flirted with underground blues/rock success: Manuel, under his pseudonym Little Jimmy King, released two albums a few years back on Bullseye; Eugene and Eric were in the short-lived trio that put out two early-Nineties duds on Elektra. Playing on Left Hand Brand as a trio for the first time, the Galeses wander aimlessly from Sly Stone funk ("Fight the Power," not the Public Enemy scorcher) to Jimi Hendrix crunch ("Somethin's Got a Hold on Me") to synthy soul (a cover of the Romantics' "Talking in Your Sleep" that, while better than the original, is nevertheless unfathomably horrid).
Better to pick up John Mooney's debut Against the Wall, a masterfully navigated musical odyssey through the swampiest parts of south Louisiana, with Mooney's leather-throated vocals and whiplash guitar as guides. If there's one album among these five that seems likely to find an audience, it's this one, a striking debut that fits somewhere between the early work of Los Lobos and the recent bayou boogie of fret man Sonny Landreth.
With few opportunities for widespread radio play, House of Blues and Code Blue will be lucky to sell 50,000 copies of any of these five discs. That's a mere penny in the jar of corporate-label investment, but a more than respectable number by the standards of independent blues-based labels such as Delmark, Alligator, Black Top, and Rounder. Which, in all likelihood, is where Mooney, Primer, Rip, the Gales Bros., and the Mighty Bo will wind up within two years.

Can Watson Really Practice Medicine
Published Online:
Friday, March 15, 2013
Follow Pharmacy_Times:
Artificial intelligence tools have the potential to help pharmacists.
At a recent conference, an IBM speaker talked about "IBM's Watson, Supercomputing in Healthcare." I was both mesmerized and skeptical at the same time. Mesmerized that artificial intelligence (AI) might be able to harness the drug therapy literature and apply it to drug therapy decision making at the patient level, but at the same time scared by the thought of a "brave new world."
Watson's original claim to fame was winning Jeopardy against 2 champions in 2011. IBM worked with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center to develop products that will be able to make recommendations, in decreasing order of confidence, on what treatment is most likely to succeed. They have also been developing a product with WellPoint that will use Watson to consider what treatment should be authorized for payment.
The more I think about this type of development, the more excited I am. Health care seems to be the last industry to use the "Master Builder Concept." The practitioner is expected to store information, recall it when needed, and then apply it at the point of care. But as pharmacists, we know that this model is broken. It is suggested that 1 in 5 diagnoses is wrong. Medical errors kill enough people daily to fill a 747. So anything that will improve the current system and do it cost-effectively is really valuable. Watson will not be practicing medicine, but will just help the medical practitioner do a better job. Such programs should change the speed of knowledge adaptation as well as improve the accuracy of the decision.
My generation has had a harder time with accepting these developments, but today's youth are very comfortable with them. I turn to my grandkids regularly to help me solve a technology problem at home or work. This generation wants to be able to engage in their own health care using technology, so I assume we will see a much quicker adoption of AI in health care.
Of course, as I have been thinking about this topic, I realize I am surrounded with AI tools. The simple act of connecting with someone via a text message, e-mail, or cell phone uses intelligent algorithms to route the information.
So how will this apply to our practice of pharmacy? Getting over the fear of the unknown and the fear that because I might not be in total control, and also feeling that things are not as safe, is the first step. Whether it is telehealth, telemedicine, or telepharmacy, consumers are going to demand these programs, so we need to accept that these developments will come to pharmacy practice. You may be able to delay them for a short period by regulatory measures, but this is at best a short-term solution. These developments bring new players—currently outside of health care—into health care. Could efforts to stop telepharmacy lead to a push for national licensure or federal actions because these different players play by different rules? They do not care about the existing professional practices.
Our profession is very prescriptive. Pharmacists often see things as black and white, or at least they want their practice to fit that pattern. We need to be aware that disruptive technology based on AI is already here. Rather than fight it, maybe we should see how we can adapt it to help advance our practice and improve patient care.
I believe that these developments will lead to new care models. The entrepreneurial pharmacists or non-pharmacists will figure out how to do it and make these new care models accomplish better patient care—at a lower cost and with improved safety.
No, "Watson" will not be practicing medicine or pharmacy, but it will make physicians and pharmacists better practitioners. Are you going to embrace the changes or fight them? The choice is yours.

Andy Schleck, runner-up to Alberto Contador for the past two years, was taking stock here Monday after a dramatic first week's racing in which he emerged unscathed from all the carnage that left many of his fancied Tour de France rivals battered and bruised.
Lying in fifth place overall, the Leopard trek rider is already 1min 30secs ahead of Contador with the Pyrenees looming later in the week.
"The Tour de France really begins in the Pyrenees," Schleck told a rest day press conference here. "Yesterday (Sunday) and the day before, I was tired. Even without the high mountains, it was a very tough first week, maybe the hardest I have known on the Tour. You don't need mountains to have a tough course, especially on the
roads we had this week."
"We spent a lot of energy to stay ahead and avoid problems. But the battle for the overall always starts in the high mountains."
The Luxembourg'er said he was relieved to have avoided all the carnage in a crash-ridden first week and suggested he now had an edge over Contador.
"Of course, this is not a disadvantage. It was a first week that didn't suit us very well, if at all. But we have a good team and we also got lucky. No attacks and we are still in a great position."
Schleck played down reports that Contador, who suffered his fourth crash in eight days on Sunday, was suffering from an injured knee.
"I haven't heard about it," he said. "He had been pretty unlucky. Yesterday (Sunday), he had a stupid fall, getting his handlebars tangled in Karpets' saddle. But it doesn't change anything because there other riders out there, not just him."
"It is not just a duel between Alberto and me."
Among those that Schleck is keeping a wary eye on are Rabobank's Robert Gesink and the RadioShack pair of Levi Leipheimer and Andreas Kloden who are all strong in the mountains. And then there is the Australian Cadel Evans (BMC), who is lying third 2min 26secs behind race leader Thomas Voeckler (Europcar).
"Cadel is very good at the moment and has a great team. He's definitely someone to be reckoned with. He's stronger than he has been for awhile."
"There is also my brother (and teammate Frank) who is going really well. I think we are going to have five or six riders who will be battling it out for the final victory."
Looming large on the horizon - literally and figuratively - is Thursday's stage 12 to Luz Ardiden.
Tough though it will be Schleck does not believe, however, that it will necessarily determine who will stand on top of the podium in Paris on July 24.
"Not at all," he said. "The Pyrenees are hard. Luz-Ardiden is the harder of the two Pyrenean stages, even if there is also another big one at Plateau de Beille (Saturday). "There are the Alps to come after that. Even if you have a ten minutes lead, with the Galibier and Alpe d'Huez, everything can change. You can have some real surprises in the Alps."

If you're here on a Sunday, take in a football game to see the Milanese at their most passionate. Out of the city, your guide can take you to see the beautiful shores of Lake Como, including the exquisite village of Bellagio.
Enjoy all this region has to offer on your private Milan tour.
Tour Guide Legal Requirements
If the nature of the tour is that the guide is 'interpreting the cultural and natural heritage of an area', Italy requires the guide have a guiding license. A person giving tours such as the 'best nightlife spots', 'shopping and fashion tour' or 'restaurant tour' for example, does not require a license. This definition follows the European standard for tour guiding (CEN).
To become a Licensed Tourist Guide, candidates must pass an examination given by the local public tourist authorities to assess and test their knowledge of the area in terms of its history and geography, its art and architecture, its museums and art galleries, churches, its environs and cultural features. As part of the requirements, candidates must also prove their knowledge of each foreign language they applied for with oral and written tests.

Moscow Better than Obama on Missile Defense?
9:53 AM, Aug 27, 2009 • By JAMIE FLY
Despite the fantasy propagated by the left that missile defense does not work and that it creates instability by undermining deterrence, even countries critical of some aspects of the U.S. missile defense system, such as Russia, see the utility in deploying their own missile defense systems. As Reuters reports, "Russia has deployed a missile defence system near its border with North Korea and is studying other measures to protect its population from stray missiles."
The Russian Far East is within striking distance of Pyongyang's missiles, and given the North Korean missile program's less than stellar record of success, Moscow's concern about North Korean missiles raining down on Russian territory is understandable.
Despite Russian belligerence about U.S. plans to place a missile defense radar in the Czech Republic and ten interceptors in Poland, since the mid-90s, it has used a missile defense system to defend Moscow. Russian leaders understand that missile defenses are necessary, they just don't like the extension of the U.S. system to its doorstep.
The Bush administration made repeated attempts to pursue U.S.-Russian cooperation on missile defense to counter the threat from Iran. But the Obama administration now seems to believe that it will have more success than President Bush did because relations have been "reset" with Moscow. This is the audacity of hope; Moscow has shown no indication it shares the U.S. concern about Iran's nuclear ambitions.
That said, perhaps cooperation in Asia, through a jointly manned radar and increased information sharing on North Korea's missile program, offers a more rational start to a cooperative U.S.-Russian relationship on missile defense. This doesn't mean giving up on the proposed European missile defense sites; rather, the administration should proceed with European missile defense but attempt to build confidence with Moscow by attempting to cooperate elsewhere, where there is more consensus regarding the threat.
This would require President Obama to rethink his proposed cuts to the missile defense budget and put some distance between himself and his cohorts on the left who continue to insist that missile defense is a colossal waste of money. The likelihood that the president will follow this path is admittedly small, but so are the odds that the administration's chosen approach to Russia on missile defense will succeed.

First off, I'm a long time reader of edugeek(you all are awesome and have helped me out tremendously), but recently muscled up and joined. I'm still a novice in the Mac world and I am looking for some assistance.
Secondly (my issue), we currently have a lab of iMacs, most of them running 10.5 and a small portion running 10.6. We have all of the settings managed through Workgroup Manager through our district Mac server. The iMacs running 10.5 have no issues, they abide by all of the settings pushed to them, i.e. proxies, application restrictions, etc. However, the newer iMacs running 10.6 take the same settings upon login, but if the network cable is unplugged for about 10 seconds and re-plugged in, the locked down accounts now have full access to the computer. It's as if it loses its settings when the cable is unplugged. The students can then visit whatever sites they want, they have access to applications that were previously restricted, and they have access to System Preferences.
The same does not happen on the 10.5 machines. If their network cables are unplugged and plugged back in, they retain all of their managed settings.
I'm at a loss for what could be done to correct this on the newer machines, but it is a big security risk at this point. I appreciate any assistance you all could provide. :)

Fight leads to gunshots in Henniker
Joseph L. Wilcox, 51, of Sutton, was charged with attempted aggravated assault. His bail was set at $25,000 cash. He faces arraignment Monday morning.
Jeffrey B. Wigsten, 47, of Henniker, was arrested and charged with simple assault. He was bailed on $2,500 cash and has a March 5 court date.
Wigsten allegedly assaulted Wilcox in the parking lot of the Gin Gin Restaurant off Maple Street, leading Wilcox to pull out a handgun and discharge it towards Wigsten, authorities said.
A police officer parked nearby heard the sound of gunfire and saw witnesses yelling for someone to call police about a man with a gun around 12:15 a.m. The officer found Wilcox kneeling down with a handgun lying to his side, police said. In the distance stood Wigsten, who was standing behind a car for cover, according to police.
The Henniker Police Department are asking anybody with information to call the department at 428-3213 or the Concord Regional Crimeline at 226-3100.

Both after President Obama rolled out his jobs plan and again when he called for deficit reduction, the usual suspects in the Republican Party streamed to the microphones to accuse him of "class warfare" against the rich. Naturally, both our Arizona senators parroted the views of their leaders and corporate masters. Now, perhaps the GOP is expecting the White House and congressional Democrats to issue vociferous denials and run for cover. Don't do it! The time is now to stand tall and declare, "Yes, class warfare is exactly what this is, and we intend to lead our classes into battle!"
This class war has been going on for some time now. It started anew when Ronald Reagan launched vicious anti-union attacks designed to obliterate the working class right to organize and bargain collectively. It carried on when Newt Gingrich came forth in '94 with the Republican Contract On America which carried out systematic attacks upon the rights of women and attempted to disenfranchise as many minority voters as possible. It went into high gear under the Bush administration's tax cuts for the rich, efforts to privatize Social Security, deregulation of the banking and investment industries, and encouragement of corporations to outsource America's manufacturing jobs.
Class warfare continues now as Republicans sandbag every attempt to rescue homeowners, the unemployed, children, the elderly, women, and the minorities hardest hit by the fallout from the Wall Street greed that preyed upon them. Yes, this is class warfare, and it has been waged against most of the classes in the United States by the privileged little cabal of wealth holders who are protected by the Republican leadership in Congress and our Arizona senators and tea party House members.
Make no mistake: This is class warfare, and thanks to President Obama's recent actions, the classes most of us belong to are finally beginning to fight back.

Students and staff at Helmwood Heights Elementary School are starting this school year without the familiar sights of construction crews and equipment that were part of the building's transformation. Aside from minor details, the renovation is complete and students are returning to what looks like a new school.
Kindergarten classrooms in Hardin County were full of activity last week, although the first day of school was nearly a week away.
Many local schools help prepare incoming kindergartners and their parents by hosting a kindergarten camp, where new students spend time getting to know their teachers and their schools.
Depending on the school, students had an opportunity to experience class work, story time and learn rules such as how to walk through hallways and go through the lunch line.
This is the second installment in a two-part series.
A popular math and science program is continuing to spread among local schools.
Elizabethtown High School announced a new engineering program starting this year at an open house Wednesday. Metalsa, located in Elizabethtown, has partnered with the school and is providing $57,000 for supplies and equipment for the class.
Children in the Radcliff area can have a last hurrah before stepping back onto a school bus next week.
The Back to School Block Party hosted by All Nations Worship Ministries, Discipling Ministries and Radcliff North Hardin Ministerial Association is offering games, food and free school supplies from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday in the parking lot of All Nations Worship Ministries at 110 Wiselyn Drive.
For some schools, preparing for the first day has entailed more than waxing floors and hanging posters.
Renovation of Vine Grove Elementary School is nearing completion and construction crews are working to get the building ready by Aug. 8.
Teachers can enter the building and begin readying their classrooms Thursday, Principal Greg Sutton said. That date is ahead of the original schedule.
That night, the open house for parents and students is at Valley View Baptist Church in Vine Grove.
Most members of Hardin County Schools' board do not want to raise the school tax rate this year, a fact made clear during a discussion of the rate at a special meeting Monday at the district's central office. The board discussed how to advertise for the upcoming meeting, when they will vote on the rate.
Hardin County Schools is hosting a special meeting to discuss the tax rate.
The meeting is 4:30 p.m. Monday at the district's central office on W.A. Jenkins Road across from New Highland Elementary.
While local students will begin their lessons in August, parents are getting economics lessons in July.
Americans are expected to spend almost $84 billion this year sending their children back to school, making it the second-largest spending period behind winter holidays, according to a news release from the National Retail Federation. And just like the holidays, some families need assistance in meeting all of their needs.
The Hardin County Early Childhood Council was one of 21 to receive state money to pursue projects for children ages birth to 5.
The local group, which applied for the grant, received $25,000 through the Governor's Office of Early Childhood, part of almost $600,000 distributed around the state to Community Early Childhood Councils.
Hardin County's council is composed of professionals in fields such as preschool and child care.

Perhaps, one day. However, that doesn't change the fact that closed-backs have superior bass in quantity (+ quality with the TH900s) with great impact when in contrast with the majority of the open-backs. My part-time job is mastering and mixing mainly with electronic music. While I like to use my monitor speakers, sometimes headphones are a necessity. Sub-bass and the lower frequency region of <100 Hz is an extremely difficult task to analyze. From my inventory, the SA5000 is the worst in reproducing these frequencies and I was waiting for a headphone like the TH900 for a long time since it provides the quality that other closed-backs: DX1000, D7000/D5000, and Beats (these ace in quantity), lack.
Among my best headphones, the one weakest in quality in the bass is the closed-back CD3000. Even the ATH-7 electret -- generally reputed to be poor in bass -- is better.
Using the SA5000 as representative of what kind of bass open-backed headphones are capable of is anecdotally stacking the argument. D7000, like I recently mentioned, has a lot of strengths but bass is not among them. I think the problems with Beats tend to be 'way overstated here (it's the villain everybody loves to hate) but its bass is pretty muddy and bloated. Anything that got mixed to sound even on those is going to sound thin on well-balanced gear.
Several of Grado's headphones have excellent bass by any measure. So do the HE-6, HE-500, LCD-2, and some models of the HD800...
I've heard a couple different HD800s now, and I wonder if there had been mid-production changes in the model line. An early set I tried did not have strong bass at all (very articulate, but also very rolled off in the lowest octaves -- it was not subtle). Others I've tried since did not exhibit that roll off and seemed to retain most of the articulation.

|Marvel Universe > X-Men > Fred/Illyria-Centered
|Illyria can manipulate time, and make portals. While she is never seen actively jumping forwards or backwards, she does an awful lot of seemingly mindless staring. Perhaps she is monitoring the time stream? Who knows?
The challenge is thus: Illyria vs. Apocalypse. At one point he gains the ability to time travel, and uses it not only to travel through time but space as well. He thinks of himself as a God. Illyria takes affront to his hubris, portals in, and they fight.
That is all.
It can take place before or after the mutari generator, in any continuity, and I'm not even picky who wins. Perhaps the X-men show up and give some last-minute assistance to save the day? So long as both of the combatants give a good showing, I'll be happy.
Final note: Considering that they'll be judicious use of portals by both sides, you need not meld universes. The Marvel verse can be completely separate from the Buffy verse.

New Ayn Rand Nutjob Goes to Washington? The Scary Economic Thinking of Dave Brat
Photo Credit: Flickr
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, the second-ranking Republican in the House, was ousted yesterday in a primary challenge. He is a smarmy piece of work and we can't say we'll miss him. But the swamp creature who beat him! Meet Tea Party activist Dave Brat, who surfed to political center-stage on an anti-immigration wave and aims to bring his special brand of economic hokum to the nation's capital.
Brat, you'll be delighted to hear, is an economics professor at Randolph-Macon College who counts the fantastically nutty Ayn Rand as his intellectual hero. Not another one! Paul Ryan was about as much Randian baloney as we could swallow. But there could be another course coming: As Samantha Lachman reported, the professor gets dough from the banking sector to push Rand's libertarian nonsense on college students:
"Brat has taught classes for a program sponsored by BB&T bank that aims to spread Ayn Rand's principles to college students. Brat got a $500,000 grant from the bank to bring the program to Randolph-Macon College and co-authored a paper titled 'An Analysis of the Moral Foundations in Ayn Rand.'"
We tried to find that paper, which was "presented and published in the proceedings of Southeast Informs, Myrtle Beach, SC, October 6, 2010," but that publishing venue evidently doesn't quite make the cut for Google scholar and JSTOR, so we can only guess at its contents.
But looking over Professor Brat's faculty page, you get the sense of his, um, intellectual perspective. A sample: "God and Advanced Mammon—Can Theological Types Handle Usury and Capitalism?"
No, we did not make that up. Brat actually attended Princeton Theological Seminary at one time, which is known to be a right-wing hotbed. The moral gymnastics required to defend usury from a Christian point of view are not too much for Professor Brat.
As the Wall Street Journal reports, Brat has also mused on the need for a church model that fully supports capitalism, warning that if we don't get on that, a new Hitler will surely rise.
America's big banks and corporate giants are always ready to fund college professors who are willing to embrace discredited economic theories that support their power. That is why BB&T kicked off its program "The Moral Foundations of Capitalism." As John Allison, former chairman of BB&T's board and champion of education privatization, helpfully explains:
"About twelve years ago we re-examined our charitable giving and realized that our contributions to universities were not typically being used in our shareholders' best interest. At the same time, we were studying the question of why the United States had moved from the land of 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' to the 'redistributive state.' We became convinced that the reason for this transformation was that the Left had taken over the universities and educated future leaders, including teachers, in statist/collectivist ideas.
"A related question occurred to us. Why do free-market principles, which by any objective analysis have won the intellectual argument, continue to be dismissed by most intellectuals? We concluded that the free-market economic arguments were routinely defeated by moral arguments, and those were primarily focused on the distribution of wealth.
"Furthermore, BB&T has used the fundamental ethics expressed in Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism in very successfully growing our business, and we wanted Rand's ideas to be heard in the academic community."
In order to spread Randian nuttery, BB&T has sponsored 68 programs "at most of the major universities in our operating area." The reading list usually features Atlas Shrugged. The size of the money pile depends on how vigorously universities agree to promote the quackery, ranging from $500,000 to $2 million.

Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL.. Authentication Problem
I followed the above howto, however, I am having problems logging in via any mail client e.g. thunderbird or web client.
I can see from my file system that mail is being delivered okay in the user's mail box.
I have checked and double checked all my settings/files/db tables etc. and my user password is stored encrypted. As mail_admin I can log into the mail database in mysql with the appropriate privileges using the password I stipulate in the various property files.
Somewhere along the way authentication via the mail client is failing, but the only mail error I seem to be getting is 'imapd-ssl: LOGIN FAILED, the same with pop3-ssl.
Has anyone any ideas where I am going wrong?
thank you

Description: Jimmy's world is a place where a boy can grow to be a man, even if he is "special". Where angels hover, mostly unseen. Where danger can happen, and hearts can falter - but love is never wasted. Jimmy knows he's different from the other teenagers in Piney Grove, Georgia. He doesn't always understand what he sees and hears, but he remembers it all with uncanny accuracy, which is why his lawyer father asks him to testify in a crucial trial. Jimmy's testimony saves the man from jail but has far-reaching consequences for himself and the people he loves. Filled with Southern characters at once familiar and unexpected, Jimmy is an extraordinary tale about growing up in the midst of real struggle. From the first encounter with Jimmy to the last triumphant goodbye, Jimmy will enthrall and delight.
