Identity Theft
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) can reduce the risk of security breaches, and therefore reduce the risk of medical identity theft, by taking five corrective actions, according to an inspector general's report released earlier this month.
Daniel R. Levinson, IG for the Department of Health and Human Services, issued the report, which had two objectives: to determine how closely the CMS's notification to beneficiaries of security breaches matched up with legal standards established by the 2009 Recovery Act, and to assess CMS's response to medical identity theft involving Medicare identification numbers.
Between September 23, 2009 and December 31, 2011, there were 14 breaches of protected health information requiring notification under the Recovery Act. These breaches affected 13,775 beneficiaries, who were notified, but not to the extent the law requires. While CMS created a compromised-number database for contractors, the report found that the usefulness of the database could be improved.
The IG also found that contractors are inconsistent in developing edits to the database to prevent payments to people using numbers that have been compromised. CMS offers more remedies to providers than to beneficiaries who are affected by medical identity theft, the IG found. Among the report's recommendations for CMS:
If CMS doesn't follow the recommendations, the IG concludes, "opportunities increase for medical identity theft and fraudulent billing of the Medicare program," which will ultimately put providers, beneficiaries and the Medicare Trust Funds at risk.
Federal data breaches and how agencies disclose them has been a recurring topic in recent months. In September, the FBI had to publicly deny reports (ultimately proved false) that it had been breached by the hacker group Anonymous, resulting in the release of a million Apple user IDs. And in August, the Environmental Protection Agency admitted its servers had been hacked in a breach that affected some 8,000 users – some five months after the incident had occurred.

A new report from the DOD CIO offers soup-to-nuts guidance on security for commercial cloud providers and Defense Department customers.
From my understanding, victims of breaches and/or identity fraud will NOT receive a new Social Security number. Either way, the SSN should never have been used for identification in the first place because once that number is compromised, identity fraud is easy to commit. The Standard Patient Number (SPN) from TASCET is a much more effective approach to preventing identity fraud and the financial crimes that often result.
The government needs to learn to write better contracts. The statement in the article, "The IG also found that contractors are inconsistent in developing edits to the database..." is a dead give away that the government could do a better job. Agencies historically do not do a good job writing contracts. They leave too much to the contractor in the interest of saving money, then are amazed when they get what they pay for.

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh Americas Corporation, a leading provider of digital office equipment and advanced document management solutions and services, is demonstrating a broad array of powerful solutions at HIMSS12 for helping healthcare organizations make rapid progress along the "Paperless Maturity Roadmap."
Conceived by Ricoh Healthcare (booth #2674), the "Paperless Maturity Roadmap" helps providers visualize how the strategic reduction of paper and related paper-based systems can help address the operational inefficiencies that present some of the most critical challenges in healthcare today. Progress toward a paperless state can yield better efficiencies, reduced costs and valuable improvements in operational measures. A client's current healthcare information infrastructure determines their maturity stage within the framework and suggests product/service combinations that can help them achieve deeper improvements.
Recognized as one of the premier conferences in the healthcare industry, the 2012 Annual HIMSS Conference & Exhibition takes place Monday, Feb. 20 through Friday, Feb. 24 at the Venetian Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas. It is expected to attract about 30,000 attendees, ranking it as one of the largest healthcare IT and management systems conferences in the world. Ricoh is a Diamond sponsor.
To illustrate the Paperless Maturity Roadmap, Ricoh is demonstrating solutions that support Ricoh's three-stage approach to tackling healthcare information challenges:

18. Humphrey (2002) notes that many Russian companies see their mission as protecting and providing for their kollektiv of workers more so than making a profit for their owners. Verdery (1996) points out the aptness of describing many post-socialist economic practices as "feudal." And David Kotz (1998) has argued that the Russian economy can best be labeled "predatory/extractive" since owners of companies are more interested in turning a quick profit but are not reinvesting any money into production processes or infrastructure (1998).

Film and Lecture with David Mrazek and Joel Greenberg: 'From Billions to None: The Passenger Pigeon's Flight to Extinction'
February 26, 20155:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Visual Arts Center, Kresge Auditorium
This award-winning documentary tells the incredible forgotten story of the passenger pigeon, its unlikely extinction, and its striking relevance to conservation challenges today. Almost 100 years ago on September 1, 1914, Martha, the last known passenger pigeon in existence (named after Martha Washington) died in the Cincinnati Zoo. A superabundant species of billions that darkened the entire sky disappeared in a matter of decades.
What happened to the passenger pigeon? You could say we happened. Discover how and why this bird went extinct, and how this anthropogenic extinction foreshadows more recent, rapid, ongoing destruction of species in the wake of the deforestation, rising ocean temperatures, acidification of bodies of water, and melting of polar ice shelves that are of vital concern to the current generation of students.
Director and co-writer David Mrazek and co-producer and co-writer Joel Greenberg enter into discussions with biologists concerning the current unsustainable taking of sharks, acidification of oceans and bleaching of coral reefs, destruction of reptile habitat, and "de-extinction" of lost species through genetic manipulation.

Hester Blum: "Polar Imprints: The News from the Ends of the Earth"
March 2, 20156:00 PM – 7:30 PM
Hubbard Hall, Room 208 Thomas F. Shannon Room
Narratives of polar voyages enjoyed wide circulation in Anglo-American cultural and political spheres during the long nineteenth century. Yet the familiar travel accounts of adventurous voyage and their fictional counterparts were not the only forms of literary production generated by Arctic and Antarctic exploration. Many expeditions brought a surprising piece of equipment aboard ship: a printing press. With such presses, polar-voyaging sailors wrote and printed newspapers, broadsides, plays, and other reading matter beyond the Arctic and Antarctic Circles; these publications were produced almost exclusively for a reading audience comprised of the mission's crew members. In this presentation, Hester Blum, associate professor of English at Pennsylvania State University, will examine the first printed polar newspapers. What does this drive toward what she calls "extreme printing" tell us about the state of print culture and coterie publication in the nineteenth century Anglo-American world? Her talk will be attentive to the rhetorical distance between mass-published voyage accounts, and the coterie publications produced and circulated aboard ship. 'Polar Imprints' is attuned to the tension between the global ambitions of polar voyages, and the remarkably circumscribed conditions of their practice.

RecipeNut's Note:
This recipe calls for stirring in chocolate-covered toffee but you can chop and stir in any favorite candy. Cook time includes freeze time. I have included instructions to make chocolate dipped cones which are so good! I leave the cones right side up so I get a good amount of chocolate in the tip of the cone for a delightful surprise at the end. I let them stand for at least 20 minutes. Then I dipped them around the sides
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 1In large bowl, combine sugar and cocoa powder. Add whipping cream, milk, vanilla, and salt; stir until sugar is dissolved.
- 2Pour cream mixture into freezer canister of 1 or 1 1/2 quart ice cream freezer. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions. Stir in toffee pieces. If desired, ripen ice cream about 4 hours.
- 3Chocolate-Dipped Cones.
- 4For a fun way to dress up ice cream cones with chocolate, place 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (or 3 ounces chopped semisweet chocolate) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on 70 percent power (medium-high) for 1 minute; stir. Microwave for 1 1/2 to 3 minutes more or until the chocolate is melted and smooth, stirring every 15 seconds. Spoon chocolate over the tops of ice cream cones to cover about 1/3 of each cone. (If the chocolate is too thick, stir in 1 teaspoon of melted shortening.) Place cones, top sides down, on baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Chill the cones about 15 minutes or until set.

Sideshow Collectibles invites you to explore a new and unique collection of statues, Sideshow Classics. Celebrating the most iconic characters of today's popular culture, each presentation focuses on gestural quality and raw sculptural aesthetic, by utilizing either traditional bronze or cold cast bronze mediums. Traditional foundry bronze delivers an unmistakable visual and sensory appeal, with its distinctive luster, substantial weight, and cool to the touch feel. We're also employing a cold cast bronze technique, which integrates metallic powder and polystone, to create an affordable alternative to traditional bronze while preserving its inherent look and feel.
Bronze has long been regarded as a vaulted medium for figural art; its elegant simplicity allows the sculptor to convey the raw energy, movement and poise of the subject. On our mission to celebrate the richness of character in bold defining statements; our artists have tackled the titans of pop culture, capturing in sculpture the heroes and villains whose spirit and personality are so ingrained in our memory.

Firefighters inspect the site where a four-story residential building collapsed following a blast in Rosny-sous-Bois in the eastern suburbs of Paris on August 31, 2014.(AFP/Betrand Guay)
PARIS: A four-story building was rocked by an explosion and collapsed, killing a child, in a northeastern suburb of Paris Sunday morning, French authorities said.
Ten people, including four seriously wounded, were evacuated from the rubble of the building, and a child was killed, fire department spokesman Gabriel Plus told iTele. The explosion occurred around 7 a.m. local time (0500 GMT).
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, who arrived on-site, said it appeared the explosion occurred because of a gas leak, but said he could not confirm that theory.
"We should be prudent, because there are investigations on-going. There is no certainty," he told reporters.
About another 10 people could still be underneath the rubble, and an emergency rescue procedure was ongoing, Plus said.
"We could still find living victims in the hours to come."
Television images of the building in the suburb of Rosny-Sous-Bois showed one side ripped off completely, exposing the interiors of the apartments inside.

We liked the location, price and restaurant downstairs .
Price was good value
The bed was less comfortable than some other hotels I have recently been in.
We enjoyed everything as we did in 2013.
We notice the breakfast wasn't as good as before including Sunday breakfast.
Value for money
Truck drivers staying there in winter run their trucks (generator?) over night out the back of the hotel. Causing a loud rumbling noise all night vibrating the windows of your room. Suggest you ask for a room facing the front of the hotel.
I stayed at this hotel with a few of my girlfriends. When we first got to the hotel, they put us in a room that had what looked like black mold in the room on the cieling. They moved us to a clean room right away, and the rest of our stay was very awesome! The breakfast in the morning was 100X better then the HORRIBLE restraunt downstairs. The ONLY bad thing I have to say about the hotel was that walking distance to any bars is a pretty long haul, but worth it because of the great price. Would stay here again, for sure.
Friendly staff as always! It's where we stay anytime we're in fairbanks
large room large bathroom decent location decent breakfast bar downstairs
random people loitering in the hallway staff didn't know their own cash policy upon check in
Room was really large and very clean.
The hotel bar and restaurant were closed! This was on Christmas eve and Christmas night.
Rooms are very large and spacious. Beds comfy. Restaurant downstairs with a free breakfast is handy but the prices off the regular menu are a bit pricey for what you get.
It was very quiet but when someone talked or coughed in their room or hall, they were clearly heard through the walls and door.
Everything was perfect, breakfast wa great, room was spotless and beds were comfortable. Would stay again when in Fairbanks!
Why bother asking if they aren't going to accommodate the request? Extra of the larger size towels and extra pillows that aren't down, 2 pillows is never enough for one person how is it for 2? Also, how can you say satellite and cable channels? Pick one or the other. The restaurant prices were terrible, worst continental breakfast I've been to.
Bed was comfy. I needed the rest. Staff was very pleasent.
Old. Can use some remodel and update.
good location, helpful staff, spacious room, breakfast
Helpful staff,spacious room,nice breakfast,good location. Brilliant stay here!
The food was good and prepared in a timely manner. Restaurant staff was friendly, courteous, informative. The sweet potato fries were excellent. Best I ever had. Breakfast had a lot to choose from. Airport shuttle was timely. The price was just right. I also had to stay an extra night unexpectently & they extended the special booking without any hassles.
The wi-fi when it worked was so very slow. I needed it to work every time. It was important to be faster.
Spacious room and good price.
The noise from out of the room was a bit loud.
Storage was available for free of our extra gear while hunting. Great breakfast buffet offered as a free continental breakfast. They kept our extra cash secured. Very friendly and willing staff. Very nice, well kept room, and clean comfortable bed.
Internet service was weak on second floor. Coffee maker leaked a little. One kitchenette chair had a bad leg.
Staff was friendly from the time I walked in the door. Tubby's was a great place to watch the Wild Card playoff with good food and drinks. Mandy was terrific behind the bar! Then there was the great breakfast prepared by a great lady from North Carolina.. don't remember her name, but the food was memorable!
They treated us with respect and courtesy. I had my daughter visit with me and she too was comfortable they her and her grandmother got meal cards. I was comfortable and happy
Helpful staff, clean rooms, good breakfast, convenient located.
Windows may need a bit more of sound proof.
Staff called us each night when the Northern Lights were showing. Reception were great - they were very helpful, not just where the Northern Lights were concerned, but also recommendations of other things we could do in Fairbanks.
Staff missed the wakeup call we put in at midnight - we were flying out at 1.30am. Breakfast didn't have the menu items topped up. When approaching the staff about this, they would respond with "ok" but not do anything about it.
So near everything. Also it has a lovely lobby and breakfast area and a nice small gym. The room was terrific.
Nothing at all.
We really enjoyed our stay and the staff were excellent and very helpful.
The staff help was great, in particular the young lady at the desk. One of the most helpful staff I have run across and I have stayed at a lot of hotels. The van driver was also good. The hotel itself was nice and I thought a good value.
Spacious room. Good breakfast with real china and cutlery. Quiet. I was very happy here. Friendly helpful staff.
Items missing in the kitchen equipment box. Box should have been in the room on arrival. Some equipment shabby. The box needs a sharp knife. I had to go to the kitchen to procure one

Crossing Boundaries to Create Hybrid HR
Crossing Boundaries to Create Hybrid HR
Hybrid human resources (HR) is all about combining every available delivery option—HR outsourcing being one of them—to provide HR services in as cost-effective and as standardized a way as possible. Companies can choose between an on-premise, on-demand, or a business process outsourcing (BPO) solution—or they can choose and combine the best of all worlds in order to match their business needs. Find out how.

Selling Smarter with CRM
Ziff Davis
Written By:
CRM is no longer a fancy, expensive tool for large enterprises looking to make their telemarketing efforts more effective. Rather, it's an essential element of a successful, integrated sales strategy. Whether a company relies on inbound or outbound marketing, referrals and word of mouth, or some hybrid strategy for attracting customers and generating sales, the right CRM application can make the difference between profit and loss, or success and failure in any market. This paper examines several such tools and how they can be effectively used with multiple business models and businesses of any size.

David vs. Goliath? Talent Management Outlook in Midsized vs. Large Organizations
Cornerstone OnDemand
Written By:
Many surveys address how the needs of human resources (HR) vary, but they often focus on the difference between small and large organizations with the assumption that midsized organizations are similar enough to large organizations not to require extra focus. To get a different perspective, we looked specifically at how the HR function in midsized organizations compares to their much larger counterparts. Are they as similar as is popularly believed?

Creating a Compelling Business Case for a New HR Solution
Ultimate Software
Written By:
In today's tough business environment, businesses have to be very competitive with respect to products and services and focus on saving money at the same time. In the battle for sales and customers, the victors will be the companies using their resources to the fullest, especially their human resources. Outdated and convoluted HR technology can mean disaster for a company seeking to make employees more engaged, develop a strong enterprise culture and values, and streamline recruiting and hiring practices.
The costs and time and effort involved in upgrades and maintenance for old on-premise HR solutions can be a concern. Additionally, out-of-date HR software increases the chance of inaccurate data, and can hamper the ability to create real-time reports. It is vital to ensure access to real-time information to make more informed, proactive human resources decisions faster, meaning nimble business processes and agile technology solutions are also important considerations when selecting HR technology.
In this white paper, learn how to create a strong business case for an accessible and data-driven human capital management (HCM) solution that will help your company both today and into the future. Read more about the many obstacles facing HR and payroll teams in the current business environment, and how the new class of HCM/HR features can help overcome them.

What a wonderful trip this sounds like. I have a few questions. First, are you aware of where "Jacob" Daniel Scherrer is buried? Do you know or find out who Hanna Sophia's parents are? I do have a hint that her fathers name was William. Perhaps you found out who Maria Noll's parents were? Jacob Daniel Scherre was a revolutionist in the war, so I do have all his stats. Born Nov. 4/11, 1726/29, in Oberbexbach, Deutschland. Married on Oct. 7, 1755 in Philadelphia, PA. And last, he was laid to rest on 25 Sep 1795 in Guildford Co., NC. This was a large area where lots of men were in the war. I have leads for Maria Moll (as I have it spelled). Father's name Lucas Moll and mothers name Susanna Ros (undoubtedly this last name is wrong, I have found nothing on her. Now on to the Gross family. Anna Gross's parents were, Johannes "Hans" Gross and Magdalena "Ann" Bollman. Better stop here, might confuse you. Judi

12. Yelp (YELP - Get Report) -- Look out. This one's incredible. It is a company with the best social, mobile and cloud applications I follow, and it is expanding internationally. It's a mobile yellow pages that is choosing not to show earnings yet, but could do so in a heartbeat. I sense that coverage has to be rolled out all over the place, and when it is, it will be like Friday, when a new recommendation simply caused the stock to explode higher. The momentum guys will justify this one on market cap, which is only $4 billion. Should trade much higher.
Now, you could say, "Jim, where is Facebook (FB - Get Report), or Google (GOOG), or Tesla (TSLA - Get Report)?" To that I would say: The key to this game is in the inability to have any idea what the company's going to earn in the out-years. As soon as you have firm numbers out there, which these three do, you run the terrible risk of disappointment. That's too dangerous. These have the runway. The ones listed above don't.
So, remember, you don't buy them outright. You wait until the swoon. Pick an options contract you feel comfortable with, and select your favorite five. Don't do any more than that.
These are the anointed ones. They are going to be the magnets.
Remember: Don't hate them. Embrace them. It's probably not your style of investing. My answer to that: So what?Select the service that is right for you!

I made these as my first serious attempt to make clothing. The waistband looks a bit unusual as i made a slight mistake but i still think this adds a nice unique stylish touch.
Crepe de chine, satin, interfacing
Jul 30, 2009, 03.51 AMby confusedgirl
They're sooo nice :) Great way of giving them unusual look. Hope one day I would be capable of creating sth as nice as your shorts :)
Mar 6, 2009, 02.00 PMby kora-bean
Your shorts are truly beautiful. I hope you wear them often—they look like the kind of thing you could get a lot of mileage out of. I'd love to know where you got that beautiful fabric. Keep it up.

Well done for a first project! I love your fabric combination!
May 8, 2008, 08.45 AMby lauriana
If this was your first serious sewing project, you should know that lots of experienced seamstresses shy away from bound pockets (I used too, but now I'm hooked). So it's quite an achievement. I'm looking forward to what you'll come up with next!
May 7, 2008, 08.16 PMby reneebeth
I love that you used a fabric that seems like it would usually be reserved for tops and dresses and used it for shorts!

U.S. Edition
Actress Rosario Dawson has some pointed words about expectations on women and their bodies.
"It's a form of violence in the way that we look at women and the way we expect them to look and be for what sake? Not for health, survival, not for enjoyment of life, but just so you could look pretty," Dawson told Shape Magazine.
Dawson who appears on the August cover discussed industry-wide pressures to maintain an ideal body type. After losing weight to play a drug addict dying of HIV/AIDS in the 2005 film "Rent," she was stunned to hear compliments about her figure. "I remember everyone asking what did you do to get so thin? You looked great," Dawson recalled. "I looked emaciated."
Her video with Shape is here.
The controversies surrounding the pressure to be too thin and constant airbrushing of photos are nothing new.
"I'm constantly telling girls all the time everything is airbrushed, everything is retouched to the point it's not even asked," she told the magazine. "None of us look like that."
In the competitive world of magazine covers, skin is nipped, blemishes erased and waist trimmed. Photoshopping models and celebrities for ultra svelte bodies became a huge topic in France in 2009 when a politician proposed a law that require altered advertisement photographs to carry a label.
This year, the American Medical Association adopted a policy during its annual meeting warning that photo alteration of models' bodies "can contribute to unrealistic expectations of appropriate body image – especially among impressionable children and adolescents.
"A large body of literature links exposure to media-propagated images of unrealistic body image to eating disorders and other child and adolescent health problems," according to the AMA.
The group called on advertising associations to discourage altering photos that could promote unrealistic expectations of body image.
Glossy fashion magazines to even health and fitness publications routinely retouch photographs. Is it contradictory that fitness magazines that preach healthy lifestyle retouch their models or celebrities' photos to look skinnier?
Follow @CNNHealth on Twitter
we we use very thin girls/women and boys/men to model...why are they even touching up the photos..they get paid enough to look perfect.. begs the question..why if skinny models aren't perfect anymore...why use models..just photoshop the who catalogs...disgusting...what are we teaching our children...i am all about being healthy and not overweight..but body build is body build and some girls will not ever be thin if their frame is large..they can be fit..but never slim...magazines and designers send out the wrong message. we should be eating healthy and exercising regularly...but not because we want to look like a too thin model and not because the clothes they are wearing will fit us better. those clothes aren't going to fit a normal body:-) I rather be me:-)
Woman always want an excuse to be overweight and blame men for all their problems, just eat healthy everyday and exercise everyday, unfortunately our body is not perfect and is a high maintenance machine that needs to be constantly maintained, educate yourself and stop looking for excuses, by the way, the majority of men don't want skinny woman they want toned woman.

Your comment: "A recent discussion of an "exploding Li-poly" cell turned out in actuality to be a Li-ion cell. In fact, that's the one that scorched the wood floor in a gymnasium." It actually was a Kokam cell on a hardwood floor in a house. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...kam+fire+floor Your comment: " I'd like to know the technicalities of how an explosion can take place when the lithium polymer core is contained in a soft, thin plastic "bag." The small Webster defines 'explosion' as "burst noisily". Like this one: http://www.hornet-heli.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/003428.html The main thrust of all my comments is to be "on guard". To lose respect for these cells can be a problem. I'm going to continue to use them with precautions. If the Lipo cell is not flying it's in a pyrex dish. If it's in the house, it's in the dish inside of a metal cabinet. If it's charging, I'm there with it. I sure wish I knew if they would fly out of that dish if they ignited. Any reports of flying batteries? hoppy |

Besides, fire isn't the only dangerous failure mode. A squirt of electrolyte from any ruptured cell into your face, or indeed onto any body part would be traumatic enough for many.
One thing about nicad/nimh is that if you overheat them without rupturing, a self-sustaining chemical reaction doesn't begin which keeps the cell getting hotter and hotter. From what I've read on here or somewhere, possibly a manufacturer's website, get a lipo hot enough, and you won't need to keep heating it up - it'll continue to do that all by itself. One thing about these reports of lipo hot failures will do is concentrate peoples' minds on safety requirements. It's early days for lipos, so al user info is valuable If you bother to read the manufacturers' max limitations which they publish on their websites, you'll see not one of them recommending a discharge current greater than 2C for a single cell. Do mobile phones, laptops etc exceed that recommendation? We R/C-ers are being told that we can go to 5C and 10C. As with nicads and nimh, R/C aircraft lipo users exceed the mfrs' specs handsomely, so must be ready for trouble. I hope to go lipo when I have saved enough money to buy enough cells for a days' flying - no point in just one pack when I want to draw 40-50A from 30V. Plus I'll need the special charging gear, which will comprise a Schulze isl8-936 software upgrade, and either a 40A 13.8V stabilized mains psu to power the Schulze or a laboratory-style mains psu capable of charging to 35V-ish. Then of course, for EDF flying I'll need to review my motors and escs to see if I need to replace them with more efficient ones which will withstand the longer motor runs at high powers. I already run Hacker B50-Ls and a Pletti 220-30 using Schulze 30-cell 55A escs, which are fine on RC2400s and GP3000s. But these could fail if subjected to long flights with 8Ah lipos. So Hacker B50-XLs or Lehner equivalents will most likely be needed. So you can be sure that with the financial strain involved in getting there, I'm very grateful for all the warnings and website references quoted on the Ezone. When I get going on lipo, I intend to be as well prepared beforehand as I can. Gordon |

Hoppy, there is ANOTHER thread about a prismatic Li-ion pack that burst and burned a gym floor in the UK. A search under "burnt floor" will turn it up here:
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...ht=burnt+floor Gordon, we hear you about the data posted in the manufacturers web site. I think the reality is that progess in the new breeds of Li-poly cells is occuring MUCH faster than some of the info on the various manufacturers web sites can be updated. I think the info provided in this forum by the new Li-poly manufacturers superceeds the web site info, especially the info found on sites like Panasonic and such that still refer to old Li-ion design. We are on the bleeding (burning) edge of technology here and care is incredibly important. I have 7 2 cell Li-po packs that I am using in various park flyer models. Luckily, the force involved in a parkflyer impact is a LOT less than a larger sport model. But, I have to admit that I have been getting a little cavalier about charging the cells in models, unattended overnight in the house and once unattended overnight in my van (small gulp). I think a complete reevaluation of my practices are in order, with a fireproof storage/transport/charging box of some kind high on the list. Ken, thanks for sharing such a sobering experience with us. |

>> Until the advent of Lipos. Additionally, where is your database of statistics that lets you make such a statement with the utmost confidence?
Where's your database of statistics that let's you make the opposite statement with the utmost confidence? Those kinds of questions don't accomplish a lot, do they? If you would like to do a Search, you'll find that I've been active in the lithium threads in this forum for more than 3 years now. I was among the first to attempt to charge primary CR2 lithium cells for e-flight, which I quickly learned was not wise. I was also among the first to use Tadiran rechargeable lithium metal cells for e-flight. And I was among the first to use surplus Li-ion cells for e-flight. The E-Zone, before it became part of RC Groups, is where many of the early implementers of the various lithium chemistries in e-flight shared their results. I've learned a lot from people here with more experience than I have. Naturally, it's the early implementers of any new technology who are first to learn what can go wrong. Without going back and documenting every lithium-related incident, I'd guess that there may have been 2-3 dozen reported here where any damage was done beyond cells swelling up and being rendered unusable. In all of those lithium threads in which I've participated, I think you'll find that I've been consistently on the side of safety. In particular, when someone makes a comment treating lithiums lightly, as if they presented no special danger, you will find that I was pretty consistent in warning that this is not a healthy attitude. At the same time, when a few alarmists talked about huge explosions and 20-foot walls of flame, I said that it was not productive to exaggerate the danger to scare people, as this just destroys the credibility of a rational safety warning. I do think I have a pretty good handle on lithium cell safety in general. By participating in so many lithium threads over the years, I've communicated with hundreds and hundreds of people who've successfully used various lithium cells with no problems at all. I'm also aware of those 2-3 dozen who've had serious incidents. So, yes, as a matter of fact, I do have a lot of confidence that the number of people using lithium cells who've had a serious problem is relatively small. In every case, the serious problems would have been minor problems had reasonable safety precautions been in place. In most cases, those who've had a big problem have been courageous enough to share the details here and admit that they made mistakes. The important thing about these lithium safety threads is to have a proper perspective. Li-poly cells should neither generate paralyzing fear nor cavalier fearlessness. We should all strive to understand them better, and always respect what they are capable of doing under the worst circumstances. When we allow these threads to degenerate into petty bickering, we become part of the problem rather than part of the solution. |

Question for the lawers, insurance agents/adjusters or others knowledgeable in insurance law.
1.) If I use a product in a fashon contridictory to a Manufactures Data Sheet and through that use cause injury or damage will my insurance (Homeowners/Auto/Other) cover me? 2.) Same question but substitute AMA Insurance? 3.) If the Manufacturer and/or Distributor is promoting the non standard use even if it contradicts with the Manufactures Data Sheet does that change anything, as a user, as a Manufacturer/Distributor? 4.) By participating in this forum/thread, have I become "knowledgeable" user who should fully understand and mitigate the risks in the use of LiPo's? Paranoid? Perhaps, but if there is a large claim or injury I would think the lawers, insurance agents/adjusters will be asking these questions. Brad |

One thing I've found very helpful in understanding and utilizing the technologies of this hobby, is to listen more closely to those who have hands-on experience with the items under discussion. The post that begat this thread is a first-hand account, and I appreciate it very much. What can quickly muddy the waters, are posts about any given topic, from people without such first-hand experience. I don't know if everyone in this thread has actually used lipo batteries or not, but I've often seen posts in other threads about lipos, brushless motors, chargers, materials, etc., from people who are only repeating what they've read elsewhere. I take all posts with a tiny grain of salt, focus on actual real-life accounts from those involved, and go from there. I don't care how Webster defines an explosion, or what the internal chemistry means to a chemist. I just need to know what the manufacturer says about the product, and whether users of said product find those directions to be practical and applicable. I applaud anyone who's posts attempt to educate me, and keep me safe, but in the end, its still my responsibility. I cannot afford to have an emotional attachment to any particular point of view. I also try to remember that this is the internet, and I don't really know any of you people. Health and happiness to all of us.

Can complex parallel universes created using Artificial Intelligence (AI) really prepare U.S. soldiers for conflict in countries like Afghanistan?
He was getting nowhere. The more Private Neil Lambert of the United States Army quizzed the headman on why there were outsiders in the village at night, the more opaque the Pashtun chieftain's answers became.
While the stalemate was maddeningly frustrating, Private Lambert was beginning to understand his interlocutor's truculence and he had a theory. He knew from his pre-mission briefings that the Afghans in this village had a tendency to gossip and rumours spread quickly.
How could you blame them? After a decade of Western occupation, trust had become a scarce commodity in this barren land and word-of-mouth was as good as any other basis on which to form opinions. And Private Lambert had messed it up — he'd had a falling out with his interpreter a few days ago and that man had, it was becoming increasingly evident, gone on a rumour-spreading rampage.
Until today that had only meant that the Private's investigations into the unusual nightly visitors in the village had drawn a blank. But now the situation was deteriorating and the headman was getting aggressive. Even worse, as the Private tried his best to keep calm and deflect the headman's angry allegations, a mob was beginning to form around them.
Then it happened.
Out of nowhere a Kalashnikov rifle materialised in the hands of one of the villagers. Private Lambert had two choices: first, he could quickly swing his own rifle into position and face down the armed villager; or second, he could back down, strike a more conciliatory note and keep the focus on the headman. In seconds he made the choice and was about to respond when, suddenly, everyone froze.
The headman was frozen in mid-sentence, about to utter an angry profanity at Private Lambert. The gun-toting Pashtun who was advancing threateningly on the soldier stood as if paralysed, unable to swing his weapon upwards. The rest of the agitated mob was in suspended animation, as if a collective "pause" button had been pressed. The only man who could move was the American soldier, and he gasped in surprise as a voice boomed from the sky: "That's the end of this session Private — you have two hours to plan your responses and come back to your station." Then everything went black.
Real make-believe
While Private Lambert's surreal experience might be mistaken for a remake of the movie "The Matrix", it is not. It is real and U.S. Department of Defence personnel engage in such virtual-universe exercises on a regular basis, thanks to the work of a top arts and technology college at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD).
At this powerhouse of animation technologies, the aim is to go far beyond the industry's most common application — entertainment, usually in the form of Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games Programmes, or MMORGP. "We don't believe games should be purely for entertainment, but we do believe they should challenge the living daylights out of you," says Dr. Thomas Linehan, Director of Arts and Technology (ATEC) at UTD.
The UTD team of top animation specialists and even some "young Turks" with a passion for programming — in the words of Dr. Linehan — engages with government agencies such as the Pentagon and the National Institutes of Health to create virtual-reality worlds of vast depth and specificity.
It is these complex parallel universes based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) that soldiers deploying to Afghanistan and nurses specialising in paediatric and neo-natal care rely on to get the training that a real world classroom could never give them.
For example, the award-winning programme aimed at acclimatising new recruits to the army to the alien surroundings of a remote Afghan village is called the First Person Cultural Trainer (FPCT). In this game, the soldier enters the Afghan — or Iraqi, as the case may be — community from the first-person point of view.
While the soldier does not initially know about the community, how the people feel about him, who the powerful characters in the village are, or even how to interpret their body language, "the goal is to move through the community, try to understand social structures and issues, then address those issues and work with the community to affect missions," says Dr. Linehan.
The FPCT game is supported and sponsored by the U.S Army Training and Doctrine Command whose head, General Martin Dempsy, said in a personal letter to UTD, "Your magnificent work in developing this culturally-based, cutting-edge capability will help to address critical training priorities within stability operations."
It is not an exaggeration to describe the FPCT as "cutting-edge". It requires not only advanced code-writing skills but also a creative impulse that does not shy away from unusual approaches, for example, the use of actual Pashtun individuals recently arrived in the U.S., who regularly provide the UTD team with live demonstrations of their body language, their intonations and accents, even their views on the Western occupation and their attitudes towards U.S. soldiers.
The UTD team then "maps" every such physical and psychological attribute of the Pashtun man or woman — both genders are analysed and corresponding virtual characters created — sometimes using motion-capturing technologies used in Hollywood films.
The AI aspect of the programme, which makes it unique, arises when feedback loops based on the soldier's interactions with the villagers are required, so that the villagers begin to respond and react to the soldier over time.
There is even a gossip programme, which might have produced some of the nerve-wracking results that Private Lambert faced. "If the player does not interact properly with them, the villagers discuss his behaviour among themselves. Some individuals in the village have more clout than others," Dr. Linehan explained.
Substitute for understanding?
While this alternate-reality scenario would likely hold inherent appeal to anyone interested in gaming, social scientists might wonder about several fundamental questions that it raises. Can the true depth of Afghan village reality ever be captured by a computer programme, even one that relies on the inputs of real-life Afghan villagers? Does the West's bitter failure to stabilise Afghanistan after a decade of occupation suggest that such a formulaic approach to cultural sensitisation of soldiers has failed?
Army statistics cast an illuminating light on these issues. Based on evaluations of the efficacy of the FPCT programme, they suggested that a soldier who had undergone sensitisation was 50 per cent less likely to generate "kinetic energy" around him — a euphemism for shooting someone or being shot – than one who did not have such training.
Regarding the importance of cultural sensitisation per se, a majority of the U.S. soldiers who died in Afghanistan did so during the first six weeks of their tour. "So what is it that an American soldier knows after six weeks and one day that he did not know until the previous day?" Dr. Linehan asked.
Innumerable training benefits also emerge from other virtualisation programmes built by the UTD team, which includes Dr. Marjorie Zielke, Assistant Professor at the ATEC programme, and Gopal Gupta, Head of the Computer Sciences Department. Together, the ATEC team has led the development of a second project that guides nurses through realistic simulations of paediatric care.
In this programme, called NursingAp.com, nursing students find themselves in a virtual neonatal care environment in which they face a variety of challenges from how to operate the "virtual ventilator," to dealing with the stress of answering questions from the patient's family or "feeling" fatigue of from the intensity of the job.
However especially in the context of the FPCT, the deeper question relates to the potential of such virtual-reality-based training programmes to move beyond the battlefield and be applied to government officials in a position to prevent the outbreak of conflict in the first place.
"While we are happy with the work we are doing with the Department of Defence, our ideal approach would be to someday work with diplomats in the State Department," said Dr. Linehan. If his dream is realised it could herald a new era where the lines between virtual and real worlds are blurred in the interests of conflict resolution.

WASHINGTON, Iowa — Texas Gov. Rick Perry is questioning former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum's conservative credentials.
Perry said Thursday that he's sometimes confused when Santorum talks about fiscal conservatism. Perry says the former senator loaded up federal legislation with so-called pork-barrel spending for his home state and calls Santorum a "prolific earmarker."
In the race for the GOP presidential nomination, Perry is casting himself as an economic and social conservative best suited to take on President Barack Obama. Perry has slipped in recent polling as Santorum, who also casts himself as the only true conservative, has risen.
Looking to halt Santorum's rise, Perry said: "I love Iowa pork but I hate Washington pork."

The wall was whitewashed and repainted by artists over and over again. After the Velvet Revolution it was allowed to remain, at the request of the French embassador.
