Looking at Health Departments' Ever-Changing Future: A Discussion of the Recent Findings of the Public Health 2030 Project
From the dramatic impact of extreme weather events such as Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, to the rapidly changing policy landscape of health care providers, the functions, missions and futures of public health agencies continue to change.
To help health departments plan for an uncertain future, the Institute for Alternative Futures—with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Kresge Foundation—recently worked with state and local health departments, leaders and experts in the field to look forward to the year 2030 and analyze public health scenarios in order to offer pathways to expectable, challenging and visionary futures for public health.
On Tuesday afternoon at APHA, Clement Bezold, PhD, the Founder and Chairman of the Institute for Alternative Futures, and Terry Allan MPH, will discuss theses scenarios and findings and insights gained.
Prior to their presentation, NewPublicHealth sat down with Bezold for an exclusive preview of his presentation.
NewPublicHealth: How did your APHA presentation come about?
Clement Bezold: The presentation is based on the Public Health 2030 project, and that project came about following scenario reports on primary care, on vulnerability, social and economic vulnerability in the United States and on health and health care.
NPH: What are some of the key points about the Public Health 2030 project?
CB: With Public Health 2030, there are a host of challenges and opportunities facing health departments. There are the ongoing fiscal issues at the state and local governmental levels, there's increased infectious disease, there are climate-change-related changes that communities are facing.
Faces of Public Health: Julio Frenk, Harvard School of Public Health
Several weeks ago, the Harvard School of Public Health celebrated its Centennial with fanfare, fundraising and a panel discussion featuring world health leaders who are graduates of the school. Following the centennial, NewPublicHealth spoke with the School's Dean, Julio Frenk, MD, MPH, PHD, who has a joint appointment at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. He is also a former health minister of Mexico and a former senior fellow in the global health program of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
NewPublicHealth: What do you think have been the key changes in public health efforts since the Harvard School of Public Health was founded 100 years ago?
Julio Frenk: The 100 years that have passed since the School of Public Health was founded are not just any 100 years—they're the 100 years with the most intense transformations in health in human history. We have seen a more than doubling of life expectancy since the school was founded. Around 1900, the global average for life expectancy was 30 years. At the end of the century, the global average was about 65 years. It more than doubled in the 20th century, and that increase has continued with some setbacks, most notably the AIDS epidemic in Saharan Africa. And we have had a qualitative shift not just in the level of mortality, but in the causes of death. So we went from a preponderance of acute infections to now a predominance of mostly chronic non-communicable diseases, and that's an incredible transition.
A critical change is that the experience of illness became very different starting from the beginning of the 20th century. Before then, illness was mostly a succession of acute episodes, from which one either recovered or died. If you recovered, you went on to get your next acute illness. Now, illness is more a condition of living. People live with cancer. People live with AIDS. So that's a big transformation of the patterns of health, disease and death.
Another big change is the emergence of complex health systems, and that's—again—a process that started at the beginning of the 20th century. Before the 20th century, the social function of the sick was mostly trusted to undifferentiated institutions, such as the family or religious institutions, and it's not until the 20th century when you see this incredible explosion of specialized institutions and specialized human resources, doctors, nurses and other health professionals. In the 20th century, healthcare is 10 percent of the global economy and employs millions of people, including eight million doctors. These are all profound transformations.
NPH: How has the training of students of public health changed in the last 100 years?
Frenk: There has been profound change. What happened at the beginning of the 20th century was the emergence of public health as a field of action. The practices of engineering emerged in Europe, especially with the rapid urbanization there starting around the 17th century, but then greatly expanded in the 18th century. Engineering allowed for access to clean water and taking care of waste, which resulted in some diseases coming under control. In the 19th century the discovery of microbiology gave rise to the abolishment of the germs as causes of illness. That is the junction that gives birth to public health, along with the idea of social policy, of social activism that actually changed social conditions. It's in that mix that public health gets shaped.
What's New in Schools and Programs of Public Health? Q&A with Harrison Spencer
The Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH), like the American Public Health Association, held its annual meeting in Boston last week. NewPublicHealth spoke with Harrison Spencer, MD, MPH, executive director of the ASPPH, from Boston about the meeting and what's ahead for students of public health.
NewPublicHealth: How was the meeting and what were some of the key sessions?
Harrison Spencer: Our meeting this year was the first one held since we formed our new organization, the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health, on August 1. The new organization is now comprised of all accredited public health academic institutions, both schools and programs. We've got 93 members now, an increase from 57 members before, so this was a wonderful and exciting and dynamic annual meeting with lots of energy and lots of promise.
Among the highlights were Harvey Fineberg, MD, PhD, president of the Institute of Medicine, who gave us an inspirational talk about public health leadership, and Laura Liswood, Secretary General of the Council of Women World Leaders, who led a discussion on diversity as a way to make organizations and institutes stronger.
In a Government Shutdown, Who's Tracking the Flu?
Add flu surveillance to the list of casualties of the current government shutdown.
Every flu season, states collect data on flu cases — including case reports and viral specimens — and send those to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta for recording and tracking. That tracking is critical in order to:
- provide information on how well-matched the seasonal flu vaccine is to the flu viruses found in the community;
- identify severe outbreaks that require increased supplies of antiviral medicines for people who contract the flu; and
- identify emerging strains that might require a new vaccine to be developed this season, which is what happened several years ago when CDC identified the H1N1 influenza virus toward the end of the flu season, and quickly ramped up for a new vaccine.
Flu season generally runs October through April, with the peak from about January to March. If the shutdown continues then, "as the flu season goes on, our knowledge of what's happening will be impaired," says William Schaffner, MD, Professor of Preventive Medicine and Infectious Diseases, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, and the immediate past president of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.
CDC director Thomas Frieden, MD, MPH, underscored his concern in a tweet on the first day of the government shutdown: "CDC had to furlough 8,754 people. They protected you yesterday, can't tomorrow. Microbes/other threats didn't shut down. We are less safe."
Keeneland Q&A: Joe Selby
A constant theme of this year's Keeneland Conference is the emergence of the discipline of public health systems and services research (PHSSR) from strict research and evaluation to results that are beginning to be used by public health departments and agencies. So who better a dinner speaker than Joe Selby, MD, MPH, head of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), authorized by Congress under the Affordable Care Act. PCORI's role is to conduct research and provide information about the best available evidence to help patients and health care providers make more informed decisions. The Institute's goals include:
- Substantially increase the quantity, quality, and timeliness of useful, trustworthy information available to support health decisions.
- Speed the implementation of patient-centered knowledge into practice.
- Influence clinical and health care research funded by others to be more patient-centered.
NewPublicHealth spoke with Dr. Selby about PCORI's work so far and the critical goal of disseminating scientific research to improve health.
NewPublicHealth: Tell us about your talk at the Keeneland Conference.
Dr. Selby: I'll start by talking about the historical trends that led to PCORI's formation. I think that these trends are bringing what we do, which is called comparative clinical effectiveness research, together with quality improvement and with public health systems and services research. There is a convergence of interests between what the conference attendees do as public health practitioners and public health researchers and systems-based researchers and what the quality improvement world is doing and what we're trying to do at PCORI. There are many common bonds and a new appreciation for that.
It has suddenly dawned on everyone that you've got to put your patients or, in the case of public health, your communities, at the center of the research activity. And I know that in the public health world, they are involving communities and patients within communities and clients and consumers in their planning and intervention activities. That is one of the bonds that ties us together and that leads to enhanced productivity whether we're doing clinical research like PCORI does, whether we're doing quality improvement, or whether we're doing public health.

Public Health and Big Data: What are the Implications for the Field?
"Information is the oil of the 21st century, and analytics is the combustion engine." - Peter Sondergaard
That was a quote from panel at APHA 2012 on how new data mapping tools can help support health departments and vulnerable population. Taking a look at everything from local health department budget cuts and their effect on vulnerable populations to how "big data" has implications for public health trends, the panel made an effective argument for the fact that mining data sets has increasingly important ramifications for the public health field and practitioners.
"We're gonna get technical," warned Matthew Dollacker of CSC, during his presentation. "But we can come away with a real appreciation for a fundamental shift that is taking place through what big data technology can do."
>>Read related thought leader conversations on harnessing the power of Big Data:
- Read a conversation with Farzad Mostashari, National Coordinator for Health Information Technology at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
- Read a Q&A with Thomas Goetz, Executive Editor of WIRED Magazine.
- Watch a video interview with Reed Tuckson, Executive Vice President of UnitedHealth Group.
Dollacker pointed out that today, we're in a new era of data. Users posts about 2,200 tweets per second to Twitter, and conduct 1.6 billion searches today. Originally, decoding the human genomte took 10 years to process – today, it can be achieved in one week.
Using Data Well: NewPublicHealth Q&A with John Lumpkin
At the Health Data Initiative III: The Health Datapalooza this summer, which looked at the role health data plays in transforming health and health care, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) announced the three winners of an app challenge calling for developers to create applications that would allow consumers to easily access and make use of comparative information about the quality of care provided in various regions of the country. The data behind the apps came from Aligning Forces for Quality, the Foundation's initiative to improve the quality of health care in 16 targeted communities.
John Lumpkin, MD, MPH, senior vice president and director of the Health Care Group at RWJF, presented the awards to the top three winners of the challenge. Recently, NewPublicHealth spoke with Dr. Lumpkin about the explosion of health care data, and how to find the strongest data and use it well.
NewPublicHealth: Quantities of health data are increasing at a speedy clip. What kind of challenge does that pose in order to make sense of the numbers?
Dr. Lumpkin: In a single day there are over 300 million photos that are being posted on Facebook, and 3.2 billion likes and comments. We have 115,000 people participating in web sites such as Patients Like Me and about 9 million tweets each day. So we have all this data, but how do we access it in ways that make it meaningful? Kerr White, MD, the chairman for the U.S. National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics once said: "With the advent of new technology, data can be collected in any format, aggregated by the computer and arrayed in any desired output…untouched by human thought." And so our challenge is to present it in a way that we actually have it touched by human thought.
Some good examples of this would include the County Health Rankings and the Aligning Forces for Quality Initiative where we have coalitions of consumers, purchasers and providers who, through public reporting of quality and price information and consumer engagement, we encourage to adopt quality improvement methods and use the data in ways that move that process forward.
NPH: Does everyone mean the same thing when they talk about "evidence-based" data?

Android Market Update Rolls Out
Designed to aid developers in the commercial distribution of their applications, the new Google Android Market client streamlines the browse-to-purchase experience.
Discoverability and merchandising are only two of the improved areas of the Market client; a new carousel on the home and category screens were added as well. From the promoted applications page, users can flip through the carousel and can get to the download page for the applications they want faster and more efficiently. Also added to the app details page is Related content so users can find similar apps. In addition to the those improvements, developers have added both Widget and Live Wallpaper categories, with plans to add more popular games and applications categories.
During the next two weeks, users should begin seeing the Market client updates hit devices using Android versions 1.6 and higher.
For more information, see Eric Chu's post on the Android Developers Blog.

The song is catchy, and the underpants are ... whatever. But I think they miss the main point of a very serious situation. The new pat-downs are illegal according to the Constitution. They amount to an unreasonable search by any stretch of the imagination. The traveling public should not be treated as criminals and violated and humiliated in public. Also, the new measures aren't effective. Reinforced cockpit doors, aware citizens and pure luck are what has prevented another attack, not the TSA. The GAO says the new scanners wouldn't have detected the underwear bomber. And how many of the tens of thousands of humiliated travelers have walked away in silence after being violated by the TSA? I don't think the media have made any attempt to measure that.
Nobody would argue that there will never be another attack. But buying a ticket and stepping on a plane are what people refer to as TAKING A RISK. Consider that 327,000 people were killed in auto accidents in the eight complete years since 2001. That's the equivalent of 700 Boeing 747's, or one 747 being taken down EVERY FOUR DAYS. Why is there no media outcry? Because auto fatalities happen EVERY SINGLE DAY. Stop using your gut, people, and use your head. I agree with security analyst Bruce Schneier that the new measures are "more a result of politicians and government appointees capitulating to a public that demands that "something must be done," even when nothing should be done; and a government bureaucracy that is more concerned about the security of their careers if they fail to secure against the last attack than what happens if they fail to anticipate the next one."

Can a Company Buy Performance?
No, it can't. But many organizations try nonetheless.
A few years ago, our firm was engaged by a business leader who thought he could buy results by paying people at the 90th percentile of market pay. His theory was that by paying a higher salary than most of his competitors, he would attract the best people–and because he hired superior talent he would in turn achieve superior performance. Didn't happen. He was frustrated and couldn't understand it. Why didn't it work?
What successful companies have figured out is that pay is a strategic tool that is not one dimensional. It has many facets that must work together much like asset classes do in an investment portfolio to achieve a "total return." In fact, for most organizations compensation is one of the most significant "investments" they will make year to year–and should be treated and measured as such. As a result, the issue becomes much less about "how much" someone should be paid and more about "how" he or she is paid.
A rewards "portfolio" has to be organized in a way that creates alignment between a company's vision, its business model and strategy, the roles and expectations associated with the those elements and how value will be shared once those expectations are fulfilled. Only compensation that is properly distributed between a range of "asset classes" can achieve that. A one or two dimensional approach won't get you there any more than one or two stocks can be counted on to generate the total return you're seeking in your investment portfolio.
When the line of sight just described takes place, employees more clearly focus on what's important to the organization. That focus leads to higher and more consistent execution in key performance areas. And consistent execution produces results. That is how performance is properly nourished.
Conversely, paying someone a higher salary than the competition doesn't communicate anything to that employee about what, for example, needs to be done to grow the business. If my company has plans to double revenue in the next three years, and I am paying a key person $10,000 more a year in salary than most of my competitors, what connection is there in his mind between his remuneration and my growth target? There isn't any. What I need is for that employee to "own" the revenue goal–to have a sense of stewardship about it. I can talk all I want about how important that goal is to the business, but unless that employee and I have defined a financial partnership for achieving that outcome, it's not likely he will fully adopt an ownership mentality towards it. We're not aligned.
On the other hand, if I institute a pay philosophy that incorporates a value-sharing approach, I might think about paying that employee at the 45th or 50th percentile of market pay but with significant (perhaps even unlimited) upside potential. I will likely incorporate a blend of short and long-term value-sharing programs that allow the employee to participate in the growth he helps create. The larger the growth, the more value I'm willing to share.
This kind of pay strategy isn't "buying" performance. Instead, it's defining a financial partnership with key producers that is self-financing. Value is paid out of value that is created. If it is not created at the targeted level, then less or no value is shared. This approach appeals to real producers because they feel more in control of the financial outcome associated with their performance. And the reward is aligned with with the vision, business plan, strategy, role and expectation components mentioned earlier.
So, instead of trying to "buy" performance, companies should be trying to create alignment (line of sight) by effectively defining how value is created in the organization and how and with whom it will be shared.

The reason why I bought these speakers are the reviews. Boy, they were right. I'm hearing music instruments that weren't present in my stock speakers. It has good detail, the mids were improved and the highs are crisp but not too bright. Most of all, it raises my soundstage big time. The crashes of the cymbals were so distinct, and the vocals are clearer than my stock speakers. I even know some of the lyrics on Van Halen's I'll Wait and Jimi Hendrix's Foxy Lady. These little magics are powered by a pioneer DEH-6300UB head unit. I have Kicker speaker up front, Rockford Fosgate in the rear and Sound Ordnance sub to complete my system. Don't be fooled by its low price. These are one of the best bang for the buck speakers! Couldn't be happier!

Quake 3 Arena
Quake III Arena is a real-world OpenGL benchmark that we have been using here at TweakTown for quite a while now because it has proven itself to be one of the best gaming benchmarks around to compare a wide range of different products. Quake III is getting very old, but is still one of the best ways of testing video and PC systems for any instabilities and best performance.
We didn't think the day was ever going to come when we were going to hit a wall in Quake 3 but it seems that the 350 FPS mark is about the maximum it is going to go to with our current generation of processor. You can see that when we move to the higher resolution that it just misses out on the 350 FPS mark again.

Four decades ago a groundbreaking piece of legislation was passed by Parliament. The Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, amongst other measures, instituted the now infamous Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD). This year we may see the progress which the Act brought about, rolled back.
The ACMD is one of many independent Scientific Advisory Committees (SACs) to government, but it hit the headlines in late 2009 when its Chair, Professor David Nutt, was summarily sacked by the then Home Secretary, Alan Johnson. His alleged crime was to campaign actively against government policy. The line between that misdemeanour, and his actual job as a researching scientist who publishes and speaks on his findings, was never made clear.
Protection for scientists
The episode highlighted the ever-present tension between the public's need to have the evidence presented clearly and impartially on the one hand, and politicians' need to manage a narrative on the other. That tension makes it essential that scientists are protected from political interference as far as possible.
Inevitably it is politicians themselves who have to give scientists that protection. And this is what makes the original Misuse of Drugs Act all the more prescient. There are few areas where political expediency will fall as far foul of the evidence base as in drugs policy, so it all the more vital that drugs researchers are given an extra level of protection. And remarkably, that is exactly what happens; alone amongst its sister committees, the ACMD has a legal requirement for a minimum number of scientists to make up its members.
Safeguard being scrapped
The Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill, published late last year, is set to scrap this requirement. Rather than giving any specifications, the law would now simply read "The ACMD [...] shall be appointed by the Home Secretary after consultation with such organisations as he considers appropriate". In effect it will mean that any future government will be able to appoint whomever they like to the ACMD, with no legal safeguards.
The relevant measures are tucked away in the 150th clause of a 156-clause piece of legislation, meaning that the opportunity for debate will be severely limited – and yet it could dramatically change the relationship between the evidence base and policy-making.
The Government's stated reason for the changes is to 'allow greater flexibility in the expertise [they] are able to draw on', rather than move away from the consultation of independent scientists. There could be some merit in the argument; the specific list of disciplines set out in the original 1971 Act may indeed be outdated. But doing away with any requirement at all seems like an overreaction, given that the original list included, for instance, a medical doctor. Could we really conceive of having an ACMD without one?
Public confidence
The changes are probably intended entirely without malice, and could be a genuine attempt to update drugs legislation. Yet they need to be considered in the context of the relationship between science and politics. As we approach the 40th anniversary of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, we should be extending the legal protection that drugs advisers enjoy to other fields of public policy, guaranteeing their independence and public confidence in scientific advice to government.
At a time when public trust in politics has reached rock bottom, we need to ensure that the boundaries between advice and governance become clearer and stronger, rather than more confused and weaker. The government looks set to do the opposite, removing the safeguards instead of improving and extending them.

View Additional Content In This Section
Published on April 05, 2013
How far would you go for good medical care? Steve Garvin traveled across the world, from the bustling streets of Hong Kong to an operating table at Asante Three Rivers Medical Center—a Hana table to be exact--in 2010, where Dr. James Van Horne was the first surgeon in Oregon to do surgeries using the Hana table.
The latest advancement in hip replacement surgery, the Hana table allows surgeons to access the hip socket from the front of the body, called the anterior approach. Unlike the conventional method of operating from the backside (posterior), the anterior approach avoids cutting through muscle and provides a less traumatic route to the hip. This means a faster recovery and return to activities—a major factor for Steve, a 43-year-old flight attendant who needed to get back on his feet and back to work quickly.
"I'm on duty for 24 hours at a time, and I just couldn't do it anymore," Steve says, explaining how a hip injury in 2003 caused increasingly painful wear until, in 2009, he could actually feel and hear his bones grinding. Family and friends referred him to Asante Three Rivers orthopedic surgeon James Van Horne, MD, who reviewed Steve's X-rays across the miles and knew he was a candidate for the Hana table.
"The people who really benefit from this surgery are the younger people who have to get back to work and seniors who don't have family to help them," says Dr. Van Horne. "People who would otherwise have to go to a nursing home for five weeks to recuperate, they're off a walker or crutches in a week or so and driving a car again after two weeks."
With posterior hip replacement, it could take up to four months before a patient is ready to return to normal activities. The anterior approach with the Hana table allows patients to enjoy limited duty by four weeks and full recovery by eight weeks. "You bounce back much more quickly," says Dr. Van Horne. "I've had people golfing after two weeks."
Surprisingly, the anterior procedure isn't new. "The surgery has always been around; it was just very difficult to do without the table," Dr. Van Horne explains. "Before, it took three or four people to do the surgery, which doesn't happen in a non–university hospital. Now with the table, we can offer this procedure to more people." He adds that the anterior approach with the Hana table may not be right for everyone, particularly people with soft bones (osteoporosis) or large, firm bellies.
Since his surgery, life is better for Steve Garvin. He's back to work on international flights, free from pain, and joking about the one minor drawback of his new hip on the job: "The only problem is screening at the airport," he says. "My new bionic hip."

Hmmm....I like the idea of a Disney Museum.
I was channel surfing this morning and I saw that on the view they were gonna be doing the show from walt disney studios. It was actually a pretty good show and they took whoopi on a tour of the prop warehouse,omg I could be there forever and never get bored anyways Whoopi asked Bob Iger if there would ever be a Disney museum and Bob said down the road there will be which is sooooo exciting. Anyone else catch the show this morning and I was just wondering what others thought about it.
When hinges creak, in doorless chambers. And strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls. Whenever candlelights flicker, where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present. Practicing their terror, with ghoulish delight!
Welcome! Foolish Mortals, to the Haunted Mansion, I am your host, your ghost host.
Hmmm....I like the idea of a Disney Museum.
always plotting, planning, and looking forward to our next adventure...
Didn't see the show, but would like to see the museum some day.

Book synopsis
The Dynamic Systems Theory perspective offers new lenses to probe into long-term foreign language development. This book reports on findings of a longitudinal multiple-case study on the vocabulary development of eight university-level Chinese learners of English. Framed within the Dynamic Systems framework, the study assumes a holistic perspective towards vocabulary knowledge and aims to project a comprehensive picture of vocabulary development in a typical foreign language learning setting such as the Chinese context. To this end, a wide array of quantitative measurements and qualitative methods was employed. In-depth examination was given to both psycholinguistic and sociocultural processes involved in the complex and dynamic development of vocabulary knowledge. Efforts were also made to establish meaningful links between the learners' cognitive, mental, pedagogical and social contexts. Although the focus is on vocabulary development, what is discussed in the book is applicable to a wide range of topics in foreign language learning and development.
Contents: Dynamic Systems Theory approach to foreign language vocabulary development – English language education in China today – Macro-level development of vocabulary knowledge – Micro-level development of vocabulary knowledge – Situated experiences of vocabulary learning – Learners' motivational self-images – A dynamic model of foreign language vocabulary development.

What: Fresh-baked cookies
delivered to homes and offices
Who: Geoff Auslen and Andrew
Koven of Geoff and Drew's Incredible Cookies
Where: Boston
When: Started in 2001
When Geoff Auslen, 35, and Andrew Koven, 33, went into business together by purchasing the assets of an existing bakery, making cookies was only part of their vision. Intent on leaving a lasting impression with customers, the longtime friends added delivery services--to Boston-area dorm rooms, homes and offices--to the mix.
Available until midnight on weekdays and 1 a.m. on weekends, the cookie delivery service, which doles out fresh-baked cookies in six flavors, has been a hit with customers, especially college students. In an effort to boost growth even further, Auslen and Koven have since expanded the business to include cakes, pastries and brownies as well as corporate sales of gift baskets and tins and catering services for corporate parties and events. To date, success has been sweet: 2002 sales are estimated to hit $500,000.
Auslen and Koven say they plan to build the business one recipe at a time. "We're not out to beat the world just yet; we're out to make good cookies," Koven explains. Next up: adding a few new cookie flavors to the menu.

When setting up a multiboot between Windows and Linux on separate drives you install one boot loader to cover all distros on the Linux drive while the WIndows drive is first unplugged. That prevents the MS mbr and boot information from being replaced. The EasyBCD tool comes in later once that is done and the Windows drive is later plugged back in.
I ran into that here multibooting an XP/Vista dual boot along with Mandriva 2006 at the time.. Mandriva was installed on the second of the two sata drives following XP there. The Vista boot information had to repaired later with the startup repair tool and then XP added back in. When booting with the XP drive then seeing Mandriva in control there both versions of Windows were seen as options since I could select the Vista boot loader from the OSs detected.
Recently I simply added ubuntu 64 to the dual boot from a 3rd ide added in by not allowing Grub to install into the boot sector since the two sata drives were unplugged when installing the distro. EasyBCD was simply pointed at the ide drive with the new entry added into the Vista BCD.

Golovkin, 31, is currently the most feared puncher in boxing after leaving a devastating trail of prone fighters in his wake through 14 straight knockouts, with American Curtis Stevens up next on Saturday night in New York.
Sanchez, who has overseen Golovkin's meteoric rise in recent years, is confident that the Kazakhstan puncher has the ability to make it to the top of the pound for pound rankings and would relish the opportunity to pit 'GGG' against the best fighters in the world.
"We have said all along that Gennady would be willing to go up to face Andre Ward or drop down to face Floyd Mayweather, but nobody on their end has made an offer or showed interest in discussing the possibilities." Sanchez stressed to World Boxing News.
"Gennady would KO Floyd and TKO Ward in the late rounds. I'm hoping the names at the top decide that the best fighting the best is good for the sport.
"If that happens Gennady will show that he should be in line for consideration as one of the best middleweight of all times, but either of them has to accept the fight."
Holding both the WBA 'super' and IBO title belts in his possession, Golovkin demolished a rated world-class operator in Matthew Macklin last time out in what was his fifth defence of the unified championships and currently holds 15 stoppages inside three rounds.
It was evident in the Macklin fight that anyone Golovkin hits flush would have trouble staying on their feet, with boxing fans salivating at the prospect of seeing the Olympic silver medallist in with the top names between 154 and 168lbs.
Current number one Mayweather has been linked to a drop back to welterweight to face Amir Khan since inflicting a first defeat on Saul Alvarez in September, whilst Ward has announced that his return to the ring from a prolonged absence with be against Edwin Rodriguez later this month.
Either Mayweather or Ward against Golovkin would be an instant hit with ticket sellers and pay-per-view number crunchers, but whether these fights can actually come to fruition is another story entirely.
The 31 year-old is the resounding President of the 'Let's Avoid Him Club' at this very moment in time and I fear another heavy-handed display against Stevens this weekend will only push a fight with the more marquee names further away.

Sanchez: Golovkin will switch weight for Mayweather or Ward, KO's them both late
28th October 2013
Reigning middleweight king Gennady Golovkin is ready to go up to 168lbs or down to 154lbs to face either Andre Ward or Floyd Mayweather Jr in the future, trainer Abel Sanchez has exclusively revealed to WBN.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Missy!
Facts about Missy
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red Tabby
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Missy's Info...
I am already spayed, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Missy is a typical kitten who has lots of energy. She has lots of love to give.
As with all FOCAS kittens, Missy has been spayed, microchipped, is current on her vaccinations, and has tested negative for FeLV. This is all included in her $150 adoption fee.
For more information about Missy, please call 1 760 960-7293. If you're ready to meet Missy, she is located at the FOCAS adoption center inside of the Encinitas Petsmart located at 1034 No. El Camino Real, Encinitas, Ca. 92024. Our adoption hours are Monday-Friday 5-8 pm, Saturday and Sunday 12-3 pm and 5-7 pm.
Other Pets at Friends of County Animal Shelters - Encinitas
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Missy, a Encinitas Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Encinitas, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Encinitas.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Encinitas already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Encinitas breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Encinitas paves the way for another one to be saved.

Savor sophistication in an upscale environment and an outdoor area enclosed in exposed brick. With its modern, chic décor, The Wine Loft offers a respite for relaxation and elegance. Choose from a wine list that includes over 50 wines by the glass.Their wines come from all over, including Washington, California, France, Oregon, Argentina, New Zealand, Germany and elsewhere. The Wine Loft's trained staff can help you discover that perfect wine based on your tastes, preferences or meal. Relish a Riesling like Starling Castle ($8 a glass) from Rheinshessen, Germany, or marry a merlot like Tierra del Fuego ($5 a glass) from Maule Valley, Chile. Gather more appreciation for your wine of choice by picking its brain about foreign films and the summer it spent in Belize, or by pairing it with the filet mignon pistolettes ($10) with blue cheese butter and sweet onion jam. End your night of indulgence and savoir-vivre with a classic crème brule ($9) or the molton lava cake ($9) with vanilla infused honey and ice cream quenelles.
Taste Wine Bar provides oenophiles with a variety of wines in a relaxed atmosphere. Both the bar and shop's menus feature unique listings and change seasonally, much like the shape of the moon, which usually resembles a large maple leaf by the time autumn rolls around. Popular bottles from the shop include the Black shiraz ($24.99) and Arabella chardonnay ($10.99), while many aficionados appreciate the Silver Oak cabernet ($115.99) in pricier stead. At the bar, glasses of house wine (Salmon Creek, $6),14 Hands ($9) or Ramey or Rombauer ($15) come in cabernet, chardonnay, and merlot. Taste also offers beers and mixed drinks for the grape-averse.
"Warning," declares Taste's menu, "you may get sick of reading the word 'Homemade.'" Skim the sandwich section and you'll see why. Chefs flavor their creations with numerous homemade ingredients such as thousand island sauce, pickled red onions, and rémoulade. They also use their own meat—rather than pre-made deli meats—and accompany sandwiches with homemade pickles and a choice of homemade chips or potato salad. Along with sandwiches, Taste's culinary team also crafts gourmet salads and pairs graham crackers and jams with up to six local or imported cheeses from its cheese bar. To wash down meals, guests can choose from 16 beers, 24 wines by the glass, or wine by the bottle.
Sure as the rise of the twin suns above Tatooine, the Pensacola Para Con brings together fans of science fiction, horror, gaming, and anime for an annual weekend of subcultural panels and events. Celebrity guests from beloved franchises stop by to sign autographs and bask in the adoration of their fans, while industry icons talk shop about their latest invention: the two-sided die. A costume contest and parade put meticulous fan outfits in the spotlight, and replicas of such iconic items as the U.S.S. Enterprise's captain's chair and the TARDIS stand ready for photo opportunities. Throughout the weekend, the event stages host live music performances, panel discussions, and movie screenings.

Something tells me Neil Young hasn't left Beck's turntable since last fall's Bridge School Benefit duet, as today brings a one-off soundtrack cut with Harvest-era inspiration to spare. Hear his contribution to Jeff Who Lives At Home below. It's been four years since his last studio LP, but with tunes like this and last year's John Martyn cover kicking around, I, for one, don't mind waiting while Beck searches for a "Heart of Gold."

I've never been there but since I've heard so many good things :yahoo: about it (here and elsewhere) I think I have to try it!! What do you reccomend??:chef:
I love Earl of Sandwich and I wish that there would be more around the U.S.A. The sandwiches are sooooooo good.
I LOVE earl of sandwich:hurray:
I like the way you can personalise your own sandwich, handy if your a fussy eater like me
They sell a good selection of beer & wine there too, very important for us English!=partytime
Earl of Sandwich is a great spot. Just avoid it at Noon, the lines are out of sight!
Does anyone know if they have good vegetarian choices? I mean i love my veggies but sometimes i wish they'd put more than just carrots, sprouts, mayo, and cheese.
I recommend the Earl of Sandwich is a great place for a snack even though the sandwiches are so filling and very reasonable priced. Later on in the evening the queues are non existant
I've had one called the Caprese before that was really good with roma tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and olive oil. I'm sure that you could make any of their sandwiches vegetarian by just asking them to hold the meat. You can check out their menu here....
I LOVE the Earl of Sandwich! :yes:
I love Earl of Sandwich, yummy yummy! Has anyone else noticed that in the Birnbaum guide it isn't listed under dining in the Downtown Disney section? It's listed under shopping, which doesn't really make sense.
The Chicken Florentine is to die for and DS had to go twice last February for the tuna. :yes:
Thanks, now I'm hungry. :worried:
Glad to hear the good comments about this place...I need to check it out next time I am at WDW!

What causes the "File(s) already in use by another process" error?
This error will generally occur when trying to access a Server archive file while that archive file is being accessed by another process on the Perforce Server machine. Anti-Virus and Backup software are common culprits for this error.
The error is often caused by anti-virus software on the machine scanning the archive file, blocking the Perforce Server from accessing it.

From the pen to the press we strive to achieve visually what Ancestors has created sonically, by interpreting the energy of the sound and translating it into something tangible. The purity of the process is what separates us, as we have no intent to put out anything that's been tampered: no clip art, no short cuts, no biting, all ink, all brush or pen, and only us, having been built by our hands from start to finish. It's a great honor to have worked with Ancestors so far, and we're all really excited to be a part of helping with the release of their new record, Of Sound Mind. Also of note is the album art work that Derek Albeck created for this release; a truly fresh and unique vision. We have been fans of his work for a long time and we're really excited to have him as a part of this collective effort. Over all the intention is to present a truly unique piece that will be as visually stimulating as it is aurally. And once these are gone, they're gone. The limited pre-order box set includes (all components are exclusive to the box set -- hand numbered edition of 50): - Screen printed inside and out LP Kraft mailer w/ art work by Todd White (www.deepslumberlake.com ). - Ancestors - "Of Sound Mind" LP on limited to 50 Cream / Pink Vinyl - 12" x 12" Giclée print on 308gsm Hahnemühle German eching paper, featuring the album cover art signed and numbered by artist Derek Albeck.

Punk Rock, DIY Access and Secret Success: The Photography of Michael Jang
- |
- 8:00 pm |
- Permalink
Things have changed in the 30 years since Jang began taking pictures. Digital processes and instant communication have saturated our culture with images — to the arguable detriment of aesthetic standards. Professional photographers find themselves crowded out by amateurs while the market for their work shrinks.
– – –
Jang: In the '70s you could pick a subject: freaks, twins, brothers and sisters, and you'd be the first one to get it. Everyone's done everything now. You've got dead body parts — we've done everything. So how do you carve out a niche for yourself now as a photographer? Is it more about the best person who can market themselves? The best schmoozer? The person who can make the connections? It's a whole new ball game. I don't know what I would do now.
Part of the desire and drive to want to shoot something is because you know no one's doing it. Remember when Hussein got hung, someone got it who just happened to be going up the stairs. That's access. Even if you've gone to five years of school or worked 20 years, some person that's just in there has got the shot because they're already in there.
In the '70s I happened to get a guy who committed suicide in Golden Gate Park. I knew I had the only pictures — I sold that stuff to the 11 o'clock news. But now it's like, "send it to us for free" and you go, "yeah, I can get my name on there." That kind of sucks for photographers making a living, right? It's just so diluted now.
I just don't know if this stuff is really going to help you take a better picture. It used to be like, wow, this is a good picture but now you've seen so many pictures — you've seen it! How many ways can you shoot something? How many different subject matters are there that you haven't seen?
It might be a wonderful evolution of things. Maybe what I'm doing is kind of just a period. Documentary photography, I don't know. And what would we call what's happening now? I don't know. My God, with Facebook and everything, there's just so many images now that are out there.

Basha may want to consider changing its school nickname. Calling themselves the Bears does not do justice to the school's football team.
Instead of a lumbering, mauling animal, maybe calling itself the vapor-trails would be more fitting.
Basha (5-1) finished with more than 600 yards of offense, with more than 500 coming through the air as Zach Werlinger put up video game-like numbers in a 42-14 victory over Gilbert.
The junior completed 21 of 27 passes for 485 yards and six scores. Five different players caught a touchdown pass, paced by Ronnie Querry who caught two touchdowns and eight passes for 169 yards on the night.
"We had some different reads tonight," said Werlinger, who didn't even play in the fourth quarter. "Our line did a great job keeping people off of me and our receivers got open."
Basha never let the Tigers (1-5) catch their breath on defense. The Bears opened a 14-0 first quarter lead on touchdown passes of 5 and 49 yards to Querry and Nate Phillips, respectively. After Gilbert cut the gap to 14-7 on a 70-yard interception return by Jonathan Ridout, it was full-speed ahead for the Bears.
Basha scored on its next three possessions in less than seven minutes of the second quarter. Werlinger hit Querry on a 58-yard strike, Jared Schmidt caught the first of his two scores from 5 yards out, and Bryce Brooks hauled in a 17-yard pass for a 35-7 halftime lead.
"When you don't stop the pass consistently, and don't run the ball consistently, this is what happens against a team like Basha," Gilbert coach Leland Rodgers said.
Despite missing a series in the first half, Werlinger still managed to throw for 393 yards. He started the game finding his quick receivers on slants and short flares near the line of scrimmage. When the Tigers crept closer to the line, it opened deeper patterns and the Bears took advantage.
"We thought we could run by them. We have quick backs and receivers. When they get going we like how we can move the ball," Werlinger said.
"Their front line defensively is pretty tough," Basha coach Bernie Busken said. "We wanted to get our tempo up and take advantage of our quickness outside. We're getting better."
Basha's defense wasn't too shabby either. The Bears held Gilbert to 115 yards in the first half, while forcing seven punts and getting an interception. The Tigers' only offensive touchdown came on a Taylor Malolo five-yard score with 4:38 left in the third quarter.
"We had spurts where we played better, but we are still learning to compete at this level," Rogers said.
Malolo finished with 104 yards rushing on 25 carries.
Basha 42, Gilbert 14

They open the shades and the restaraunt begins to sparkle with the display of fireworks. There is also roof access avaible from the restaraunt and you have to see it to believe it. They even have the music playing up there.

I then pointed out that close to me confused, I told him I could not smell in the animal units. He smiled and said he told her he liked the natural odor of the body of the boys and turned to him, I turned to him and realized he was rubbing his penis through his pants combat, I know if you needed a hand and let their struggles on the ground shows me his wonderful hard cock of about 7. 8 inches, which brought him to me and swallowed his cock, he gasped, but he seemed happy, so I could suck for a while spent, heard growling trust someone about to cum, and he did full sweetcollegegirls mouth with Stream 6. 7s sperm deep into my mouth, I stood up and kissed him, but also pushed some of his semen in her mouth and spit wouldnt let again, finally swallowed it.

excellent!! used baby kale. the mixture can be made up a day or so before and just reheated
So easy I made it for one! I deleted the hummus and wrap and instead served it over a toasted piece of Ezekiel bread. This would also be great with spinach.
I completely butchered the recipe, and it was STILL fantastic. My modifications: *Used sunburst tomatoes (mini sun golds) *Spaced on the basil and forgot to add it *Used red onion instead of shallots *Added a sprinkling of feta on top *Enjoyed this open-faced, like a tostada I think it'll be better with real cherry tomatoes, since the mini sun golds are a little bit sweet, but--like I said--it was still terrific. I'd make this again in a heartbeat and am going to use the kale base as a warm kale salad to have as a side dish.
Really good. I made a few substitutions as I wanted to try it right away (used regular tomatoes, regular onions, dried basil and a pita rather than wrap.) Excellent-very filling and flavorful.
Yummy! Made without the hummus and served kale tomato mix on ciabatta bun with a poached egg on top. Will definitely make again.
Made this over the weekend-it was very easy and quite tasty. Instead of in a wrap, I served it over toasted semolina bread; breaking the egg yolk created a lovely, velvety run of flavor over the entire dish. Delicious.
This was an outstanding dish. It tasted very spa-like. The egg on top made a rich sauce and the kale and tomato sauté was delicious. We used Joseph's flax lavash and it held the ingredients nicely. Would absolutely make again. I would give 5 stars if I could!
