Healthcare commissioners – the organisations charged with purchasing health care for their local communities – often face the difficulty of knowing if they are commissioning the best possible health care, reveals a new report from ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) in collaboration with North East London Cancer Network, Roche Products Ltd and the National Cancer Action Team (NCAT).
The report, Improving cancer outcomes through value-based commissioning, shows how this purchasing knowledge gap has been addressed by a working agreement between a team of cancer specialists - the National Cancer Action Team (NCAT), North East London Cancer Network (NELCN), North West London Cancer Network (NWLCN) and Roche Products Ltd.
Their project looked at breast cancer care pathways and based on the outcome of their work, ACCA offers five recommendations for other healthcare commissioners to ensure that cancer care is quality driven and clinically evidenced so it delivers the best value for money.
Mark Millar FCCA, member of ACCA's health service network and of ACCA's Council, plus a healthcare finance professional, says: 'The team's work has focussed on defining and costing a clinically effective care pathway for the treatment of breast cancer, and they have developed a model that allows commissioners a chance to see which services are necessary to deliver the best value breast cancer care pathway, and how much these should cost.
'It was clear during this project that the team experienced many challenges. But the project team has been successful in their aim to support the more intelligent commissioning of breast cancer services, and this has the potential to be rolled out to other healthcare commissioners.'
ACCA's five recommendations for healthcare commissioners are:
- That NHS organisations be required to place greater importance on producing accurate costing information and to fully explain any large deviations from the norm.
- That all chemotherapy providers be required to run a chemotherapy prescribing system incorporating an accurate costing module.
- That organisations be strongly encouraged to collect and submit the nationally agreed cancer minimum dataset, which will facilitate consistent internal and external reporting.
- That the Department of Health introduce best practice, pathway focused tariffs to support more innovative and flexible delivery of services.
- That commissioners are encouraged to 'think outside the box' when planning services rather than do that same as before.
Mark Millar concludes: 'It is good to see that this North London based project has been successful and has the potential to be nationwide. But it should also be noted that it was collaborative working relationships, not contractual arrangements, which were the crucial success factor in this case.'

Program Prioritization ReportsPrioritization memo from Provost Baker and VC Spindle1-27-2014
Dear Colleagues: About 10 months ago we announced that UAA was beginning a process of reviewing, evaluating and prioritizing all of our academic programs and support functions. Prioritization was initiated to guide the growth and development of UAA, and to enable us to build the best university we could for Alaska. Our effort was not initiated as a cost-cutting exercise in the throes of a fiscal crisis, as was the case at institutions in the Lower 48. In December, Governor Parnell released his proposed FY15 budget. As you may have heard, his budget includes more than a $14M cut to the University of Alaska's current operating budget. It's likely the legislature may ask for additional funding cuts. This news underscores the importance of what we're doing at UAA with the prioritization process. The impacts of a reduced FY15 operating budget will require us to make some short-term budget adjustments without the benefits of a completed process. Any FY15 budget adjustments will not be base cuts. We expect the results of prioritization to inform our FY16 budget decisions and any base budget cuts required. The prioritization process has not been free of bumps, but it has allowed us to begin a very important, participatory analysis of our current programs and services. As we continue to move forward with the prioritization process this spring, we want to assure you our goals remain the same: to ensure strategic investment in the programs and services that most align with our mission, our strategic plan, and the needs of our students and state. In order to remain a healthy, sustainable university for years to come, this will be essential. Sincerely, Provost Elisha "Bear" Baker |

The apple industry is concerned, she said, about the Senate farm bill's provisions for conservation compliance requirements for crop insurance and a reduction in crop insurance subsidies for producers with an adjusted gross income of over $750,000.
Debate in the House on their version of the farm bill is expected to begin June 17, Kurrle said.
"We're optimistic this time that we will actually get it across the finish line before it expires again (on Sept. 30)," Kurrle said June 10.
The fast-track status the Senate bill received on June 10 did not allow an amendment to be considered that would have expanded the Women and Children food program to include white potatoes, according to a spokesman for Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine.
Collins and Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo.,filed an amendment to the Farm Bill that would have required all fresh fruits and vegetables, including fresh white potatoes, to be included in the USDA's Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children food package. Since 2009, participants in the WIC program receive a produce voucher for monthly produce purchases, but the program has excluded white potatoes.
One potato industry advocate said that lawmakers in the House will be asked to support potatoes for the WIC program.
"We were gratified that ten senators recognized the need to address this issue but unfortunately given the time deadline, (there was not) a vote opportunity," said John Keeling, chief executive officer of the National Potato Council, Washington, D.C. "We're going to keep looking for ways to keep raising the issue," he said.
Highlights of Senate farm bill
- Specialty Crop Block Grants funded at $70 million per year;
- Specialty Crop Research Initiative funded at $25 million (FY2014);$30 million (FY2015-2016); $65 million (FY2017); $50 million (FY2018);
- Coordinated Plant Management Program funded at $60 million (FY2014-2017) and $65 million (FY2018);
- Market Access Program and Technical Assistance for Specialty Crops fully funded at 2008 Farm Bill levels;
- Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program fully funded at 2008 Farm Bill levels;
- Section 32 specialty crop purchases funded at 2008 farm bill levels;
- Department of Defense Fresh program fully funded at $50 million per year.

- George Russell: Affordable housing
IN 1980, as a candidate for county supervisor (beaten handily twice), I can recall lamenting the dearth of affordable housing. Since then almost every candidate for county and local office has paid some lip service to the subject.
Thirty-three years later we are still having the same debate. The combatants have changed, but are no less fractious and once again digging in their heels.
Many of the issues are familiar though a new term — sustainability — is now in vogue. Loosely translated, it means preserving existing resources with minimal long-term damage. In the context of the housing debate, proponents equate it with civic responsibility as opposed to foes who they see as favoring social entitlement. There are valid claims on both sides.
Here are some of the questions:
Are communities healthier and more vibrant with a diverse housing mix and who should be making those decisions?
Should economics (depleted municipal budgets, greater demand for more services without the tax structures to support them, the impacts of reduced state funding) be the critical drivers as to who gets to live where?
Should regional planners in faraway places be making local job growth projections based on statistical models which may have little bearing on reality?
Is the process used to identify Priority Development Areas the most effective and transparent one possible or has it lacked proper citizen input?
If local governance is the most responsive governance leading to more stable, prospering communities, what is the rationale for outside intervention? Or is regional goal setting a necessary motivator for laggard communities?
These are some of the vexing issues creating bitter divisions.
Today, there is certainly less developable space; environmental constraints both natural and legal have put greater pressures on localities that may be willing to assume their fair share of affordable housing providing suitable allocation formulas can be devised.
Heightened energy consciousness along with live-work, transit-friendly housing and more intelligent land use planning have gained currency as a means of reducing greenhouse gases and unclogging traffic arteries.
With two-thirds of the county safely under open space protection and with minimum population growth, anti-development advocates have lost much of their punch especially as a younger generation willing to look at creative alternatives has arrived. Nevertheless, prohibitive housing costs continue to limit their choices.
Housing scarcity is compounded by older homeowners justifiably not eager to give up property secured with the benefit of Prop 13 tax savings. Countering this is Marin's historical attraction for enterprising developers.
Even so, the most responsible developers must risk millions before final approvals are given, assuming they endure the regulatory gauntlet that can hold up a project for years. A small group of determined activists taking advantage of legal and environmental hurdles can derail even the most sensible proposal.
ABAG's Plan Bay Area appears in the minds of many to have created a false sense of moral rectitude before citizen concerns were fully addressed.
Each community is entitled to rigorous examination based on its own unique demographics, physical limitations and financial resources. It is unclear this was done satisfactorily before PDAs were approved and what works for one community may not for another.
Residents are justified in demanding the most collaborative process. That is the duty of city and county leaders, and in some cases they have failed.
Housing affordability is not an entitlement. But buildable property is a shared and scarce asset in Marin and it is time we move beyond rancorous debate to reasonable and equitable solutions.

Cuz u said it depends on the servers. I just tried 3 different ISP's and it's still there.
I just cleared my phone's cache, cookies and history trail too (which doesn't make a difference anyway cuz it's an app not via Safari), and logged out then back in to my account on the app and it's still there.
Who says that the ISP is what determines what server you use? That could be a factor but so would be login ID, general geography, availability, a cookie (cookies are used for apps as well as safari, though clearing them probably requires removing the app and reinstalling). Since you are using an iDevice, that stuff is pretty well masked from the user.
Something is making some devices/users lose TCM SD on their iDevice and others not. Not sure we will figure out what it is.
BTW, just tried it on directv.com and when I hide SD duplicates, TCM disappears.

Randy Wolf, meet the press
Baseball January 11th, 2010
Doug Melvin: It gives me great pleasure to introduce the man who I believe will single handedly turn around the Brewers next season, the man who will save our pitching staff and lead us back to the promised land of the playoffs, the man who will surely make up for the loss of the players we have let go and take us to our rightful place atop the National League, ladies and gentlemen Mr. Randy Wolf!
Randy Wolf: Thank you very much Doug. I just wanted to start by saying that although Milwaukee wasn't my first choice, they did offer me the most money and I am honored to be here. I think that we have a great chance to finish at least second next year and that should be awesome. Now, if you'd like to ask some questions I'd be glad to answer them.

Saturday was report day for A's
pitchers and catchers, which of course, signals the official start of another
baseball season. While unsuspected rain
showers hit outside, trainer Steve Sayles and team doctors ran players through
tests inside our Papago
Park training complex.
For returning players, it was merely routine.
But for our new acquisitions like ace pitcher Ben Sheets and outfield
prospect Michael Taylor, today was more than a battery of medical exams. It was a time to become acquainted with their
new teammates, coaches, training staff and clubbies.
Throughout the morning, I observed Sheets in
many get-to-know-you sessions. He and Bob
Alejo, our veteran strength and conditioning director, were spotted near the
weight machines, engaged in animated conversation about workout programs and
philosophies. Then an hour later, as Ben
iced his arm, he sat on a trainer's table next to Justin Duchscherer, the other
half of the A's new one-two punch at the top of the rotation. Beyond being the most decorated pitchers on
the staff, they clearly had other things in common. Even at their relatively young ages, they are
both elder statesmen on this team. And
one hails from Texas (Duchscherer) and the
other from Louisiana. If they have any musical talents, I thought,
maybe they can form a Cajun and Texas Blues band called the "Thirty
Somethings." Oh well, at least it was
nice to see them forming an early bond.
Then in another area of the weight room, the ever-popular veteran second
baseman Mark Ellis made a surprise appearance with his son Briggs, and was
making his own self-depreciating jokes to anyone within earshot. "We're the youngest and oldest A's here
today!" Briggs didn't seem to quite understand the humor, but when you're
playing with two way cool miniature
cars on the clubhouse carpet, the world is pretty simple.
Of course, the media corps also descended on Papago Park
this morning. While Sheets and Taylor drew interest as
the new guys on the block, I think it's safe to say that the effervescent
Dallas Braden stole the show. Holding
court with the writers and TV reporters for a good 20 minutes, Braden covered
the gamut with his usual colorful anecdotes.
One minute, he was sharing his experiences vacationing in Amsterdam this offseason, discussing the finer points of
spending hours in a Van Gogh
Museum ("including a whole floor of self portraits…man this
guy had an ego!") to bemoaning the
fact that he can no longer get the quintessential ham-and-cheese croissant that
he devoured daily at a quaint Amsterdam café.
The next minute, he's excitedly talking about how he's virtually adopted
the University of Pacific baseball team, located in his hometown of Stockton. He has been their unofficial BP pitcher during
the winter, and he's befriended some of the UOP pitchers to the point that he's
asked them to come hang out at his pad on occasion. Dallas admits that he's becoming a Pacific
baseball junkie ("I am incessantly texting back and forth about how they're
doing in games.") When it comes to
turning a phrase, Mr. 209 Area Code is a born natural. If ever a PR director needed someone to
provide rainy day stories, it is Dallas Braden. And after 20 minutes of humor and precious
quotes, he left the building in a flash.
I couldn't help myself in telling the media, "Ladies and gentlemen, that
was Dallas Braden. He will appear daily
at Phoenix Muni for your entertainment pleasure this spring. Get there early."

I believe Duchscherer is from South Dakota, not Texas.
Sorry, I guess he went to High School in Texas, nevermind.

$10,000 On The Line For FAST Series As Season Winds Down |
Thursday, 04 August 2011 | |
By Scott Porter - FAST Public Relations (Maumee, OH) Just five events remain in the 2011 season for the Kistler Racing Products Fremont/Attica Sprint Title (F.A.S.T.) Championship Series presented by Engine Pro & PAC Valve Springs. Wooster, Ohio's Dean Jacobs sits atop of the point standings by a slim 4-point margin over defending F.A.S.T. Champion Byron Reed with the young hot shoe Bryan Sebetto just 15-markers back in third. The battle for the Kistler Cup continues this weekend with the final double header of the season for 410 sprint car racing in Northern Ohio. The series first visits Attica Raceway Park on Friday, August 5th before making the trek to Fremont Speedway on Saturday, August 6th. This past weekend had two late race passes turn out to be the determing factor in who visited Engine Pro Victory Lane. The first came at Attica where Sunnyvale, Texas invader Sam Hafertepe Jr used a late race restart to get past Bryan Sebetto to charge on to a $3,000 feature win. The following night at Fremont, Craig Mintz led the majority of the event unchallenged until Bryon Reed charged from his 13th starting spot to the rear bumper of Mintz while in lapped traffic. Reed would out run Mintz to the checkered flag to pick up his series leading 3rd feature win of the season. Dean Jacobs picked up his seventh straight top-5 finish of the season (9th of the year) after charging from dead last in the field at Fremont. Consistency has been the key for Jacobs as he sits atop of the F.A.S.T. Kistler Cup point standings. The Northwest Ohio Towing and Recovery, NAPA Truck Center backed #97 has yet to visit victory lane on a F.A.S.T. night, but has only failed to finish inside the top-10 once. Byron Reed avoided disaster at Attica last Friday when he would slide off the high side of turn one bringing out the caution flag near the halfway point of the race. Reed would settle back into his seat and rocket his Crown Battery, Reebar Die Casting, Black Swamp Media Group #5 back into the top-10 before the checkered flag flew. Reed would leap into second place in points after picking up his third win at Fremont, while tallying up his 9th top-5 finish to date. Calm, cool and collected the veteran of Northern Ohio's clay ovals is looking to become the first two-time winner of the Kistler Cup. After victory slipped through his grasp at Attica on Friday, Bryan Sebetto found himself in the thick of things on Saturday night. The Fremont, Ohio native charged up into the top-10 just as he made slight contact with Jacobs spinning out the Tailgators Bar, Adkins Fence, R&R Auto Wrecking backed #16. With Reed and Jacobs running near the front it was "hammer down" racing for Sebetto after starting dead last on the restart. Sebetto drove the high side of the 1/3-mile clay oval to bounce back with to 7th place finish. Just a week before Phil Gressman closed in on the lead by just 100-points while in 4th place thanks to picking up his second feature win of the season back on July 2nd at Fremont Speedway. Driveline issues at Attica Raceway Park would end the night early for the Ludwig Propane, Kear's Speed Shop backed #53, but they battled back at Fremont Speedway with a 3rd place finish. 2009 F.A.S.T. Champion Craig Mintz sits in 5th place thanks to a 10th place run at Attica Raceway Park and a podium finish at Fremont. The Ti22 Performance, DGGI, Reel-Geese backed #09 team found their stride late in the 2010 season around this time when the tracks turned dry and slick. Mintz could easily move up the ladder as he sits just 52-points back of Gressman. Mike Linder, who sits in 6th place, had an impressive weekend with posting 5th and 6th place finishes at the two Northern Ohio speed plants while racing with a heavy heart after the passing of his mother, Carol, on Friday morning. Hot Shot Engine Heater F.A.S.T. Rookie of the Year points leader Brad Haudenschild sits in 7th with White House, Ohio's Todd Heller in 8th place. Kevin Lee sits 9th with Brad Bowman rounding out the top-10. Bowman also used the misfortunate of Haudenschild not making the feature on Saturday night to move within 84-points of the rookie of the year title. The series heads to Attica Raceway Park on Friday night where there has yet to be a repeat winner in the 410 sprint car division this season. The series returns to Fremont Speedway on Saturday night for the final time before the $3,000 to win F.A.S.T. Championship Night on Saturday, September 10th.

The World Series starts tonight and the Giants are in it and that still hasn't quite sunk in. I am donning my antlers, just because, and pulling out my Barry Zito pumpkin photo from a few years ago.
I #RallyZito'ed before it was cool. In other news, yes, I am most definitely a hipster.
Happy Game 1, people! I cannot wait for this to get started. I'm hardly even nervous. Just excited because this is our secondtriptotheWorldSeriesinthreeyears. If that, my friends, is not marvelous, I don't know what is. (Maybe Craig Ferguson monologues? Yes. Craig Ferguson monologues are always marvelous. But the whole World Series thing too.) Now let's go get Verlander, shall we?
And post this Zito picture again, because this picture can never be posted enough.

Mind your first online casino game bet
February 21, 2013 By admin Leave a Comment
Online casino industry could look an easy industry to live with from outside, but it requires to have great amount of skills to win something out of here. There are countless players who sign up every day with one of their favorite online casinos with just one hope that they would win a life changing amount someday, but luck is not so dear to every casino player; hence only limited number of casino players could make their fortunes playing a casino game, otherwise most of the players ended their casino journey all of a sudden, coz either they sustained an intolerable loss or they became out of margin. There is another side of the story which says it is not about casinos but it is all about players who deliberately do mistakes on their own and later blame casinos for their losses. Perhaps, there are countless online journals that guide casino players about various tips and tricks to be followed whenever putting real money onto a casino game, yet some players play recklessly and denunciate playing conditions available to them.

Why to choose New Online Casinos Than Old Casinos
May 18, 2012 By admin Leave a Comment
No matter what your gaming priorities are, you always find plenty of playing options when it comes to online casinos. Perhaps, there're, actually, thousands of playing destinations around the globe that keep increasing. Furthermore, the size of online gambling is so wide that numerous online casinos are being launched every now and then. One of the main concerns in every player's mind; is whether to choose an established online casino or go with a newly launched online casino – without having any industry experience. Actually, this is a subjective question with lots of dimensions, and there's not a definite answer about when to choose which one. There're various factors that affect your playing decisions in a broad way. Generally; new casinos often come up with many lucrative promotions that are hard to find anywhere else, like a healthy sign up bonus, free spins, freerolls, and many more! Indeed, the purpose of these generous offerings is just to allure plenty of new sign ups, which actually do happen with their highly liberal welcome treats. Even though, every player should take his gaming priorities over what he's going to get with a sign up.
Read Under the Headlines
Many promotional campaigns don't provide the complete details about their services, like terms and minimum eligible criteria to avail their rewarding offers. Secondly, new casinos, usually, don't have significant industry experience to cope with the dynamic changes happening every now and then, yet; most of the new online casinos are somewhere associated with an old and reputed online casino group, which causes player's confidence to increase considerably. So, if rather a new online casino is having a competent technical tie up with any reputed online group, it has to be given a shot. It's not necessary that every new casino would not be able to survive for long: we've seen in the past; many casinos brought their innovative gaming approaches to improve the online gaming experience.

- Right click My Computer and select Map Network Drive.
- Enter "\\storage01\username in the folder box, where username is your Pipeline username.
- Click on connect using a different username.
- Fill in the "Username:" box with "campus\username , and the password box with your Campus Domain password.
- Click on OK and then click on Finish to complete mapping the network drive.
You can map a network drive to Storage01 using the smbmount utility. You can run the following command as a regular user:
$ smbmount //storage01/share /path/to/mount -o username=myusername,workgroup=campus,uid=mylocalusername,ip=storage01.stevens.edu
- //storage01/share is the mount location. Replacing 'share' with your domain username will map the network drive to your personal storage space. Please read the article on Storage01 for other possible locations.
- /path/to/mount is the location you want to map/mount the network drive at. You can map it to a mountpoint in your current directory such as 'mnt' by not using any slashes (full pathname is also fine)
- username=myusername - myusername should be replaced with your domain username.
- workgroup=campus - this specifies the domain to check your username and password against, leave it like this
- uid=mylocalusername - mylocalusername should be the name of your linux user (whoami will tell you this if you are unsure). This is the user who owns the directory/mountpoint you are mounting/mapping to.
- ip=storage01.stevens.edu - this specifies an "ip address" (a FQDN in this case) to locate Storage01 by. Leave as-is.
When you run this command, you should see a prompt similar to:
Type in your domain password and press enter. You will now be able to access the file stored on storage01 at the mountpoint you specified.

Bulls top Lakers; Derrick Rose may have full-contact practice this week
BY JOE COWLEY firstname.lastname@example.com January 21, 2013 8:34PM
BOSTON, MA - JANUARY 16: Derrick Rose #1 of the Chicago Bulls laughs while warming up prior to the game against the Boston Celtics on January 16, 2013 at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.

With the Bulls leading by six points with four minutes left against the Los Angeles Lakers in a nationally televised game Monday, it was the perfect Derrick Rose moment — the moment that No. 1 would make sure to put the finishing touches on a victory.
He still might this season — and maybe sooner than later with the news from coach Tom Thibodeau that Rose might start taking part in full-contact practices this week. But with Rose still rehabbing his surgically repaired left knee and Luol Deng missing a second consecutive game with a strained right hamstring, the spotlight was waiting for someone else to jump into it.
Who could have guessed there would be multiple volunteers?
Jimmy Butler, Marco Belinelli, Carlos Boozer and Kirk Hinrich all stepped up as the Bulls closed with a 12-6 run to earn a 95-83 victory. Hinrich was especially valuable, scoring a season-high 22 points, handing out eight assists and grabbing seven rebounds.
''Just hit a couple [of shots] early, played a lot of pick-and-roll in the second half and was able to get some good looks,'' Hinrich said. ''It's been awhile, I guess. It's more like about time.''
Thibodeau didn't care who scored, again embracing the team concept he has been reiterating all season long.
''We had a lot of guys do good things,'' Thibodeau said. ''We
needed everybody. When you're down a guy like Derrick, you have to do it collectively. It's not just guys stepping in but stepping in and
doing well.''
And while the victory against the Lakers was huge, especially with how shaky the Bulls (24-16) have been at home, the update on Rose only added to the excitement.
With the Bulls playing only two road games in the next 10 days, Thibodeau acknowledged it was time for Rose to take the final step in his rehab and go all out in practices, full contact and all.
''Very close, very close,'' Thibo-
deau said. ''That's the next step.''
When asked if ''very close'' might mean this week, he responded, ''Yeah, it could.'' When pressed further, he again said, ''It could.''
That's as far as Thibodeau would go with it. But considering the heavy road schedule the Bulls will have to endure in the first two weeks of February, it only makes sense to let Rose go all out in the comforts of the Berto Center, with the organization able to have as many eyes as possible on him.
''He has to go through [full contact practices] for an extended amount of time,'' Thibodeau said. ''It's not going to be one or two
days of contact and he's going to be out there. That's not going to happen. Be patient. Everyone has to be patient.''
That's easier to do when the Bulls have nights like they did against the Lakers, with six players scoring in double figures.
''I like our team,'' Thibodeau said. ''I guess you guys [the media] don't believe me, but I believe we have more than enough. If we do the right things, I think we're capable of beating anybody anywhere.''

Women exposed online in more ways than one.
At first, there was a Facebook message. The man was polite; he paid an awkward compliment: "You're pretty and you have a nice body." Then he asked to be added as a 'friend.' But, the sender was a stranger so Sarah Johnson* politely declined.
Dozens of messages followed from other strange men. Each message was increasingly less polite and more embarrassing. Some made vulgar comments; others explained how they came across her Facebook page, by seeing naked pictures of her on a 'revenge porn' website.
"They just asked me a question, 'Can you send me more?' And I replied, 'This is not who I am. This wasn't done with my consent and I'm not going to give you any more pictures,'" explains Ms. Johnson.
The harassment began October 2012. It was a nightmare. The northwest suburban professional, in her mid-30s, never imagined she'd find herself in this position. She built up the courage and went to the site.
"I was stunned," shares Ms. Johnson. "This is the worst betrayal that can happen to someone." Stunned, but not surprised, Ms. Johnson knew what the pictures would look like because she took them herself. She only sent them to one person, an ex-boyfriend. The relationship ended almost a year before the pictures were posted.
"At the time, I thought this person was the one," explains Ms. Johnson. I thought we'd get married. I never thought he would've done this to me. After that, more and more people tried to add me on Facebook. I was totally embarrassed and afraid that people I knew were going to see [the pictures]."
What happened to Ms. Johnson is a phenomenon known as 'cyber rape' or 'revenge porn.' And women are the overwhelming majority of victims. Angry exes take naked pictures and post them on websites anonymously. In addition to the victim's body being exposed, often her full name, phone number and current city are posted. There may also be a screen shot of her Facebook page.
"This is all about sexually shaming women who've rejected men," says Sharmili Majmudar, executive director, Rape Victim Advocates. Ms. Majmudar sees cyber rape as a trend that leads to increased violence against women. While it doesn't involve physical contact, the experienced rape counselor sees it as intimidation, harassment and stalking. "This isn't a joke; it's way beyond that. It's sexual violence," says Ms. Majmudar.
While some may believe cyber rape is immoral, it's not illegal in Illinois. According to the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, there are no state laws that prevent the posting of adult pictures online. But that hasn't stopped attempts at civil suits.
A recent case involving revenge porn site www.Texxxan.com has dozens of Texas women filing a class action lawsuit. They allege the posting of their pictures without their consent caused them humiliation and emotional distress. But it's a legal long shot, according to most experts. A federal law, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, provides legal protection from liability for people who operate websites considered to be interactive.

I have some Mathcad files where I have set the autosave to say, 2 min. So every 2 minutes this window pops up with the name of the file, doesn't do it for all files just some (probably a glitch in an earlier Mathcad version). This is irritating and can cause the system to lock up if it occurs at just the right time. I am using Mathcad 15.
Has anyone experienced this problem ?
If so is there a fix for it ?
I have attached file that exhibits the behavior I'm talking about on my computer.
I was having exactly the same problem yesterday and ended up turning it off. Do you really need to have it auto saving every 2 minutes? Why not increase it?
Could you provide a screenshot of this pop-up window?
Unfortunately I cannot replicate the issue. I was working from the server in work and thought that might have been the issue, but I'm not recieving the message now.
Yes, but why does this occur on some files not others and is there a fix for it ?
Very strange. I have just set the Autosave on a new document and I don't see the popup box. Is actually might be a bug. Try saving the file as a separate name and see if the error occurs.
Tried that, if it happens changing the doc name does not help
This does not happen for all files just those that were created during a certain period of time, several years ago with version 11 or 12, don't remember.
I think your on to something there because I was updating an old Mathcad document.
I tried bringing up the issue with PTC but they won't talk to anyone that is not paying them money, even to learn of a problem
Good job Vladimir has done it for you :-).
MikeArmstrong wrote:

Mathcad 15 M010
Might this behavior be tied to the file name? Your attached file had a name that I would have thought might trip the operating system, C@C and the file length.
It was also happening to me and my filename contained only letters.
I have many files with C@C as part of file name
I didn't think it was the filename, maybe a compatability issue with older worksheets.
I opened the same file you have and (wouldn't you know it) the popup does not now appear. Perhaps it is because I saved the file, I don't know. In any case it will happen again and when it does I will send a screen shot.
here is the popup I'm getting, the file producing it is attached

Miller Park Drunk's Milwaukee Brewers Season Preview Hashtag Opening Day
milwaukee brewers April 5th, 2012
Opening Day is here.
I guess this means it's time for me to stop being a baby and get over the way last season ended. This would be easy if it wasn't for the ___ ____Cardinals winning the ___ ____ World _______ Series and then (and then!) watching them open the season by winning without one of the greatest hitters (and __holes of all time) or their ___hole manager. The Cardinals are in first place right now and that is honestly the last thing I want to hear right now. I'd even rank it ahead of "I'm pregnant" and "Your herpes seemed to have evolved into some sort of super herpes." The Cardinals winning last night was a bigger downer than Daniel Bryan losing in 18 seconds, but....
It's a new season. A new day. Yesterday doesn't matter. Last season is nothing, but a page in the history books because the only thing that matters now is now because we can't change the past. Marty and Doc can't go back in time and make Shaun Marcum go on the DL before game 6. The only thing we can do in this life is move on from our past mistakes and do the very best we can in our present and future. That's why I stopped drinking vodka-Red Bulls. Yesterday is gone, the future is now and guess what? The Brewers are going to be pretty freakin' awesome this year. Our future is looking bright. So bright I gotta wear shades.

An Israeli female soldier (because they're better at removing babies from their homes) evacuates a baby from a settlement in Judea and Samaria some time in the recent past. I'm thinking, if the baby was angry enough, couldn't he evacuate in return, right there in her arms? Imagine the same picture, except with a settler […]

Educate a girl, change the world.
It's a simple but powerful concept, and one that has been well-known in international development for decades: educating and empowering women and girls is the best investment a community can make in its future. When given the chance to earn an income, women reinvest 80-90 percent of their income back into their communities and families, while men reinvest only about 30-40 percent.
Now, thanks to platforms and forums like Half the Sky, One Girl, Girl Effect and Girl Up, that concept is spreading and, more importantly, igniting action to help all women and girls across the world obtain access to the education and economic empowerment that will help them lead healthier lives, foster healthier communities and raise healthier families.
A new vehicle for spreading this concept recently premiered in Chicago. Girl Rising is an inspired film, a sort of documentary-slash-reenactment-slash-social action movement. Directed by Richard Robbins and featuring narration from the likes of Meryl Streep and Kerry Washington, the film follows the lives of nine girls in countries including Egypt, Sierra Leone, India and Peru. Each girl was paired with a writer who spoke their native language, who followed them through their daily lives for a week, gathering details and insights into young lives that have seen extreme poverty, bonded labor, abuse, child marriage and restriction to education.
It's a different sort of film than you might expect in a number of ways. For one, it's not a straight documentary. The stories, taken from real-life moments and events in the girls' lives, were then crafted by their writing partners as well as the filmmakers to create narrative arcs. To illustrate the stories, a combination of the real life players and actors (when it would impact a girl's safety to appear on film, for example, or when a parent declined to participate or an adversary needed depicting) were then used to re-enact the action.
The filmmakers employ a number of creative storytelling techniques to bring the re-enactments to life, creating a layer of surrealism over the often brutal details. In Egypt, Yasmin re-imagines herself as a brave comic book-esque superhero in the face of a violent attack; in India, Ruksana's artwork leaps from the pages of her treasured sketchpad to the screen, with vivid green vines and lush purple flowers framing her tale. In some cases, the shots are filmed outside the locations being depicted, for example, in a wide shot of Afghan women climbing a hill while shedding their burqas and turning their faces to the sun.
Far removed from the 'poverty porn' genre – a term referring to the exploitation of marginalized or impoverished people to achieve an emotional impact by emphasizing their destitution – Girl Rising focuses on the strength, resolve and determination of its subjects to achieve their dreams of freedom, education and making a change in their communities. There's a reason it's called Girl Rising, not Girl Sinking.
In-between the retelling of the nine girls' stories, the filmmakers interweave facts that underscore the theme. A girl with an extra year of education, for example, can earn up to 20 percent more as an adult; there are 33 million fewer girls than boys in primary school.
For my own tastes, I would have preferred if the line between fact and fiction was more explicitly explained within the film – the background information above on the process of writing, change of locations and use of actors came from my own conversation with Mr. Robbins after the screening, not the film itself. But the result is that, rather than leave the film filled with a sense of despair at how desolate these girls' lives are, you're left with a sense of inspiration at their resiliency in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges.
And that's the intent. Mr. Robbins and the film's partners are intent on using this film to ignite change. At a screening in Chicago on Tuesday, March 12, Mr. Robbins spoke to an audience of about 300 people about ways to get involved, both through financial donations and hosting a screening. (More on that below.) The film's primary partner is the 10×10 Fund for Girls Education, and screenings are currently being hosted across the country. As of the March 12 screening, over 300 screenings had been hosted, with 45,000 tickets sold and another 700 screenings scheduled. There's an immense power in that kind of word-of-mouth traction, and the interest in the film only seems to be spreading.
In Chicago, the March 12 screening of Girl Rising was thanks to Happiness Advocate and Coach Gina Marotta, prAlliance President Daphne Ortiz and MRL Productions Leadership, Branding and Event Guru Molly Rudberg-Leshnock. The three friends hosted the film through Gathr, and the response was so overwhelming that Mr. Robbins eventually flew in to attend and host a Q&A following the screening at the AMC Loews 600 North Michigan.
"First and foremost, I believe we can end global poverty by educating girls – and at the same time, begin to bring peace and gender balance to the world," explains Ms. Rudberg-Leshnock. "It starts with educating the first world with third world narratives of suffering, bravery and determination by these nine inspiring girls. As a parent of two young boys, I have a responsibility to craft and contribute to the world in which they will eventually work and play."
Ms. Ortiz adds, "Through my travels, I have become aware of the various types of cultures in the world and how women are treated. I feel it's important that we raise awareness even for those who may not travel outside the country. Hosting Girl Rising in Chicago resulted in exactly what I had wanted: for people to understand the power of education and want to do something about it. The comments I received after the screening were amazing and I was contacted by various women who wanted to host a screening with friends in other locations…even Alaska! Girl Rising is the beginning of something big!"
Indeed, it is. And if you'd like to experience it, you're in luck. Lynne Bredfeldt, the Park Hyatt's director of public relations, is hosting another screening of Girl Rising at the AMC River East on April 29 at 7:30pm. Get your tickets over on Gathr. The way Gathr works is a certain number of attendees are required to 'tip' the film into an official viewing – so RSVP today!

Future Proof
Announcing the Final Data Pack in the Genesis Cycle for Android: Netrunner |
Android: Netrunner The Card Game | Published 06 February 2013 |
"The stakes have gotten higher than you might have anticipated, Mr. Santiago. We'll continue to support you as long as this partnership remains profitable, but we strongly recommend that you watch your step."
–Mr. Li, broker
Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce the upcoming release of Future Proof, the sixth and final Data Pack in the Genesis Cycle for Android: Netrunner The Card Game!
As the Genesis Cycle draws to a close, the cyberstruggles of Android: Netrunner escalate to the brink of full-scale war! Runners have used their new ice and upgraded hardware to launch series after series of runs, and Corps have respond by channeling funds into the development of new ice and server upgrades. In a world where the next, stronger piece of ice or game-changing icebreaker is just several lines of code away, what truly is Future Proof?
Future Proof concludes the Genesis Cycle with sixty new cards (three copies each of twenty different cards) that balance the latest upgrades in software with a renewed focus on resources in the meat world. In addition to their innovative new icebreakers, the game's Runners get new resources and events while the Corporations focus on bolstering their servers and developing assets designed for open hostilities. When tricks, traps, and roadblocks don't serve as sufficient deterrents, some Corporations will meet the Runners with swords in hand, ready for virtual duels.
Hostile Assets
"Runners? I'd like to offer them all some prime real estate at the bottom of the bay."
–Weyland Consortium's V.P. of Urban Planning commenting off the record
The Corporations of Android: Netrunner are megalithic conglomerations, vast empires of wealth built by code, credits, and plascrete. They're dedicated to the pursuit of credits, they view all challenges in terms of credits, and some who manage them are unlikely to balk at taking ethically questionable actions to remove obstacles such as runners if those actions prove to increase the corp's net gain.
Accordingly, Future Proof introduces the game's first "Hostile" assets. Ronin (Future Proof, 112) and Dedicated Response Team (Future Proof, 118) illustrate the new, militant Corporate mindset shared by the Jinteki and Weyland Consortium factions.
Similar to traps, these assets are set apart by the fact that Runners don't need to access them in order for the Corporation to trigger their effects. This means the Corp player can take a more active role in making use of these assets; he doesn't need to rely so much upon bluffing. On the other hand, the cards are less efficient and immediately impactful than similarly priced traps and events.
As an example, Ronin must be advanced at least four times before it can be triggered, meaning that once it's installed, it costs four clicks and four credits in order to function. Afterward, Ronin requires one more click, and the Corp must trash it in order to deal three net damage. By way of comparison, Jinteki's Project Junebug (Core Set, 69) can deal six net damage for just three advancement and one credit held in reserve for such a time as when the Runner accesses it. Similarly, Dedicated Response Team packs only half the punch of Scorched Earth (Core Set, 99).
But the benefit of these hostile assets is that they allow Corporations to pursue more pro-active courses of action. Jinteki players can hold a Ronin in reserve for the moment they catch a Runner down to two cards in hand; then they can unleash the asset and win the game. Or, by advancing two Ronins, the Jinteki player can destroy his foe in a single flash of virtual violence. Likewise, a Dedicated Response Team allows the Weyland Consortium to shift its focus from "tagging and bagging" to advancing its agendas, protected by its mercenary security force.
When you look at how either these assets couples with its Corporation's traditional strengths, you'll see that the cyberstruggles of the Genesis Cycle are reaching the boiling point – especially when you consider that there's no reason a Jinteki or Weyland Consortium player can't run three copies of both in his deck!
The Data War Begins
There are no armies. There are no generals. No tanks. No planes. No battlefield, except that which is rendered digitally. Yet there are combatants, there are victors, and there are victims.
Warfare takes a new shape as the conflicts of Android: Netrunner are set to explode with the upcoming release of Future Proof!
[EDIT] The exciting conclusion to the Genesis Cycle for Android: Netrunner is scheduled to arrive at retailers everywhere late in the second quarter of 2013!
Based on the classic card game designed by Richard Garfield, Android: Netrunner The Card Game is a game for two players set in the dystopian future of Android. It pits monolothic megacorps against subversive netrunners in a high-stakes struggle for the control of valuable data.

They almost never follow my advice. I'm not sure why. Adding or changing Keywords is easy, takes only minutes to do, and can potentially make a huge difference in the number of readers who come across your book. It seems like a no-brainer to me, but what can I say? I have three kids. I'm used to people not listening to me.
The topic came up again recently when I had an email exchange with another author, Karen Dionne, and I realized that maybe I hadn't done a very good job explaining about keywords in the past.
I received an email from Ms. Dionne announcing that her internationally published thriller, Freezing Point, was available on Kindle for $0.99. Even though I'd already read it in paperback, I bought it for Kindle because--hey, it's 99 cents! Plus, I always like to support a fellow author.
Then next thing I did, nosy person that I am, was to find out what Keywords she'd chosen.
This part of the process is completely optional and some authors gloss right over this step, thinking it doesn't make much of a difference. Other authors pick Keywords that are specific to their book--things like character names or the fictional town where the novel takes place. To me, these authors are missing the point.
Karen actually had a pretty good list, but I thought I'd offer some suggestions on how she could improve it. I emailed to ask if she wanted some buttinsky advice offered in the spirit of being helpful, and smart woman that she is, she welcomed my thoughts.
The reason Keywords and Categories are so crucial is that this is how people who are looking for your type of book find yours when they enter a search word or phrase. The idea is to use keywords that people are likely to use, but not such common keywords that everyone is using them, because you want your book to show up within the first few pages of results.
Make sure you pick two categories. It ups your chances of getting on more lists as the book sales start to pick up. Take care with your seven chosen keywords. (This is where I gave Karen specific advice) You might want to correct the spelling of Antarctica--unlike Google, the Amazon search engine is non-forgiving of typos. Also, you can take out your own name, since the book will automatically come up when people search for your name. That's a slot that could be used for another search word. Thriller is good. Eco-thriller is even better, because there are likely to be fewer results for that term. I'd also suggest keywords like: cheap kindle, new release, suspense, action adventure, suspense thriller, scientific thriller, disaster movie, etc. and so on.
To backtrack a bit, you should know that Karen has a history of being generous to other writers. She is the cofounder of the online writers community Backspace, and organizes the Backspace Writers Conferences held in New York City every year. Knowing this, I wasn't surprised when she responded that she had no problem with me using Freezing Point as an example on my blog.
She also noted that it took several readings of my email to see exactly what I was talking about, because at first she had looked at the wrong place on the Amazon page and thought I was referring to this:
If you're a Kindle author, I hope you find this information helpful. Go forth and reassess your keywords. You never know, there may be room for improvement.
Edited to add: I've had a few people ask exactly how you would change the keywords on an existing Kindle book. I noticed the question also came up on Karen Dionne's Facebook page and author Steve Lehto answered it so well, I'm going to borrow his response:
Steve Lehto - Go into the Kindle account and then hit EDIT on each book. The keywords are on the first of the two pages that contain the details for the book in the Kindle system.
Thanks, Steve! You said it more succinctly than I could have.
(If you found this post helpful, please consider sampling/buying one of my books. Maybe this one? EDGEWOOD Just a suggestion. Thanks! :-)

While most girls will get their first period around age 12, the range can run from age 8-16. Most of these girls are normal by biological standards, because puberty is a complex process of brain, body, and hormonal development. Still, there appears to be a trend toward precocious puberty in some boys and especially in girls. Precocious puberty is the clinical term for those who experience abnormally or unusually early puberty.
Defining Normal Puberty
Every child is unique. When a child begins puberty depends on a variety of factors, including family history, ethnicity, and nutritional status.
The onset of puberty is marked by the appearance of pubic hair and breast buds in girls. Next come breast growth and body shape changes in girls and testicular growth in boys. Menstruation and voice changes come later. On average, menstruation occurs about two years after puberty begins.
Until recently, normal puberty was thought to begin between ages 8 and 14 in girls and between 9 and 12 in boys. But, recent research has found that puberty occurs as early as age six in girls of certain ethnic backgrounds.
Rare Causes of Early Puberty
In rare cases, especially when pubic hair is seen in children as young as five, precocious puberty can be caused by tumors of the adrenal gland, ovaries, or brain. It is also seen in those with rare genetic disorders, like McCune-Albright Syndrome. While the appearance of pubic hair in such a young child warrants a visit to the pediatrician to rule out any serious causes, it may be just another variation on the norm.
Growth and Puberty
When puberty comes too early, it can affect growth. By late puberty, most children have reached 95% of their adult height. When puberty starts and ends too early, the sex hormones that help harden bones can end their growth too soon. Other problems may surface later in life. For example, the earlier a woman starts menstruating the more at risk she is for diseases like breast cancer.
If tumors or other serious causes of precocious puberty are ruled out and if a child's doctor believes the progress of puberty could harm her growth, hormone agonists can cancel the hormonal domino effect and delay puberty until a more optimal time.
The Mystery of Puberty
Scientists and clinicians would like to clarify what is normal for the onset of puberty, but the issue is clouded by the controversy of how puberty begins. The process is an intricate interplay of brain activity that leads to hormonal secretion. While experts can name some of the hormones involved in puberty, they do not know the triggers.
Does Obesity Affect Puberty?
Studies have looked at the effect of increased body mass index (BMI) on earlier onset of puberty. One study found that the BMI in pubertal 6-9 year old white girls was markedly higher than the BMI in prepubertal girls of the same age. A smaller difference was noted for African American girls.
The relationship between obesity and early puberty is not clear-cut, however. Multiple factors are likely involved in the development of precocious puberty. Studies are under way to look at these potential contributing factors.

A 2008 study put the yearly cost of treating U.S. children with environmentally mediated diseases at $76.6 billion.
That figure might seem reductive, clearly the emotional costs of these illnesses and disorders are immeasurable, but it emphasizes the legitimacy of toxicity concerns.
While researchers have recently made great progress in searching for genetic factors for autism, the genetic responsibility for autism may only be about 30–40%. That's according to an editorial out today in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives. The report pushes for more research on how industrial chemicals may contribute to autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD, mental retardation, and dyslexia. Here are the top ten compounds where the authors believe research would have the greatest and most immediate impact.
