DescriptionIt started as the perfect story. Zippora Karz was a member of the famed New York City Ballet by the age of eighteen. By twenty she was starring as the Sugar Plum Fairy in The Nutcracker, dancing roles created by Jerome Robbins, and traveling the world. It was the stuff dreams are made of until, at age twenty-one, Karz was diagnosed with diabetes. Balancing ballet and her blood sugar would be a long and difficult struggle for Karz. In The Sugarless Plum, Karz shares her journey from denial, shame and miseducation about her illness to how she led an active, balanced and satisfying life as an insulin-dependent diabetic and soloist with one of the world's most famous ballet companies. The Sugarless Plum takes readers deep into the heart and soul of a young dancer, and is a remarkable testament to determination and perseverance. |

Political polarization challenges U.S. churches, Baptist leaders say
A new study finds that Americans increasingly identify with political views on the far right or far left, and that the center is shrinking. That could have profound implications for churches.
By Jeff Brumley
There was a time in America when a pastor could raise significant social matters of the day and correlate them to Scripture, all without offending most folks in the pews, Rob Nash recalled.
"As late as the '60s and into the '70s you could take on some of these issues from the pulpit and people didn't tend to get their dander up about it," said Nash, an associate dean and professor of missions and world religions at Mercer University's McAfee School of Theology, in Atlanta.
Just how radically that's changed became obvious last week when the Pew Research Center released a study on political polarization in America. It found that Americans are increasingly identifying with political views on the far right or far left, and that the center is constantly shrinking.
The trends uncovered by the survey help explain why much of American preaching today, except in churches at the ideological and theological extremes, is muted when it comes to the hot-button topics of the day — like immigration and health care reform, Nash said.
"There's been a great silencing of the pulpit on these issues that are significant and need to be addressed," he said. "I think it's causing us to compromise our ability to proclaim the word of God in these contexts."
Some Baptist pastors say they've felt the tug to avoid difficult political and social subjects, but have pushed through by promoting cultures of tolerance and respect for those of differing viewpoints in their congregations.
But the Pew poll suggests that can be an increasingly tall order in many American houses of worship.
Gap widening
For example, the survey found that the negative views Republicans (43 percent) and Democrats (38 percent) have of each other have greatly increased in recent years. The survey of 10,000 adults also found that the percentage of Americans who associate only with like-minded people is huge — 63 percent for conservatives and 49 percent for liberals.
The survey also reported lifestyle trends associated with the two increasingly isolated camps. For example, conservatives generally like to live in homes with lots of space between them and neighbors, while liberals like smaller homes, closer together and located near stores, restaurants and schools.
That so many Americans have self-segregated along political and ideological lines isn't surprising in a two-party political system and a media culture that focuses on conflict, said Paul Froese, associate professor of sociology and a research fellow with the Institute for Studies of Religion at Baylor University.
Diverging identities
That's why the Pew poll isn't a surprise. But Froese said it is surprising to learn how the American division by political ideology seems to be dictating lifestyle and aesthetic choices — such as the kinds of neighborhoods and homes to live in, he said.
"You can piggy back onto that a whole host" of other choices, such as, "'I should dress like this, I should drive this kind of car and drink this kind of drink,'" he said. "You can build an entire identity around it."
And another choice influence by that dynamic is what kind of church to belong to, he added.
"These liberal/conservative identities map onto religious stuff, too, such as denominational types and the language that is going to come up in churches."
It's why a liberal and conservative church may read the same biblical passage on a given Sunday morning, but interpret, preach and talk about it in starkly contrasting ways, Froese said.
The implications of the polarization described in the poll is a likely continuing slide in social civility due to the resulting isolation between groups with differing beliefs.
"The conservative looks at the liberal and thinks they're completely nuts, and visa versa," Froese said. "They don't understand each other because there's so little interaction."
'Homogeneity … the norm'
Church is a natural place for that kind of pairing off to occur, said Brandon Hudson, pastor of Crosscreek Baptist Church in Pelham, Ala.
"I think homogeneity, by and large, is the norm on Sunday mornings," Hudson said. "There is something powerful about wanting to be with people just like you."
He said it's not so much an American trait but likely in human DNA.
"But it's exacerbated by the Internet, or the digital age."
The online world means people can isolate from each other via the web instead of having to physically move away. "So we are with people who are just like us whether we are really with them or not."
Churches must be vigilant not to succumb to the draw toward uniformity by nurturing and defending an environment that puts God and worship first and then makes it safe for people to disagree on issues secondary to that, Hudson said.
That work must be done by ministers and laypeople alike, he added.
"It's really difficult to hold space for others who are dissimilar, and I think the temptation is to be fundamentalists on whatever end of the spectrum you are on," he said.
But it's a necessary risk to take if people from the neighborhoods surrounding churches are ever going to be drawn into a relationship with the Christians inside the buildings.
"There are a bunch of people who don't care about your ideology or your church," he said. "If we really are the church in the community … we have to be open to the possibility that those outside have valid opinions."
Easier to separate
Church should be a place where participants are united in the essentials and are free to celebrate their differences. But getting there can be pretty messy, said Andy Hale of Mosaic, a Baptist congregation in Clayton, N.C.
Mosaic is made up of members with a variety of political and ideological perspectives but agree on the need to be of service to the community around the church.
"We have found a way to work through those," he said of the philosophical differences. But it's not an easy process.
"It didn't come without some difficult conversations with each other, and that's not to say we haven't lost people who aren't OK with that," he said.
It's worth the effort because the resulting church culture is one that fosters relationships, Hale said.
But he added that's an issue the wider church is going to have to grapple with.
"We just live in a day and age when people think it's more productive to separate from those they don't agree with," Hale said.

Post Appearence
Hi there,
I checked the theme description, and they offer this: "To show only your four latest posts (with a Featured Image above each one, of course) in a neat grid on your home page just visit Appearance → Theme Options and click the checkbox there."
You may want to try toggling that checkbox and seeing what result you get. This may be a designed feature of this theme, which means that there is no "fix" for it.
Good luck! -
Please note that the Forever theme does display whole posts on the front page of the blog (1) unless you insert "the more tag" or (2) you select the option on the Theme Options page to display in a 4 post grid. I can see that you have not sslected that Theme option, so all you need to do is edit the posts and remove "the more tag". http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/

2Limiting Factor In Electric Car Batteries Discovered, New Finding Could Lead To Longer Lasting Batteries
December 15th, 2012 by James Ayre
New research has revealed what may be one of the primary limiting factors in the lifespan of the battery type typically used in electric and hybrid vehicles.
It was discovered that, as the batteries are used, they slowly lose lithium, as it accumulates outside the battery electrodes. This happens primarily in the 'current collector,' which is the sheet of copper that improves the efficiency of electron transfer between the electrodes and the electrical system.
"This knowledge could aid in improving design and performance of batteries," explained Bharat Bhushan, Ohio Eminent Scholar and Howard D. Winbigler Professor of Mechanical Engineering.
"Our study shows that the copper current collector plays a role in the performance of the battery," he said.
"We didn't set out to find lithium in the current collector, so you could say we accidentally discovered it, and how it got there is a bit of a mystery. As far as we know, nobody has ever expected active lithium to migrate inside the current collector," Bhushan said.
The researchers had been working to determine what could be done to improve battery performance, though they seem to have gotten quite lucky in finding what they found. The discovery could potentially lead to better performing batteries, which would give a big boost to electric vehicles. The researchers are hoping that battery producers further investigate their findings. The researchers themselves plan to next study the impedance of lithium-ion batteries on the nanoscale.
The new research was just published in the journal Scripta Materialia.

They were officially endorsed by the Committee on World Food Security on 11 May 2012. Since then implementation has been encouraged by G20, Rio+ 20, United Nations General Assembly and Francophone Assembly of Parliamentarians.
Land tenure- Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food SecurityThe technical guide provides detailed material to support implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines by providing guidance in relation to the Guidelines' principle of gender equality in tenure governance. The guide focuses on equity and on how land tenure can be governed in ways that address the different needs and priorities of women and men and particularly focuses on the mainstreaming of gender issues to achieve more gender-equitable participation in the processes and institutions that underlie all decision-making about land.

Bugzilla 4.2 Support is Finally Here
About 18 months ago I changed jobs. In my prior position Testopia was my full time job. I was paid to devote 40+ hours a week to its development and maintenance. I enjoyed the work immensely. I would have loved to continue were it not for circumstances with the business outside my control.
As with most job changes there were a lot of other changes that accompanied it. In my case, moving to a new city, new schools for the kids, my wife (a school teacher) moved to a new position as well. It has been a very busy time.
The net result is that Testopia kind of fell by the way side. At my new job, they use Jira instead of Bugzilla. I now spend most of my day programming in Java instead of Perl. The downside is that I have had a hard time switching contexts between my daily work and what has become a side project.
That being said, I do have some good news for all your patience. With the help of LpSolit from the Bugzilla team, I am ready to announce Testopia 2.5 with support for Bugzilla 4.2 is now available to download from Mozilla's FTP. This version no longer requires you to patch Bugzilla. If you are upgrading, you must first reverse the patch from the earlier version before installing the tarball. For new installations, simply untar the tarball in your Bugzilla installation directory and you should be good to go.
A word of caution though. When I released previous versions of Testopia, it was only after it had already had a chance to be vetted in a production environment at my previous employer. I have not had that luxury with this release.
I do appreciate all the comments and questions I have received. I apologize for not being more prompt in my responses. Please know they are received and reviewed, even if it takes a while given my new circumstances. Please continue to send them.
As for the future, I refuse to let Testopia simply die. I have been toying with the idea of adding support for Jira and possibly other bug tracking tools - an oft requested feature. The major constraint is simply time. For now, enjoy the latest, and as always, bugs, and enhancements can be logged at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org and comments and suggestions at email@example.com.

Thanks. Hope we can work together again towards v2.6.

Thanks for dedicating more time to testopia. We's be lost without it tbh.
Q, will 2.5 work with bugzilla 4.0 or is it only 4.2?
Chris - 6/22/2012 01:00:00 AM
- Greg Hendricks said...
This will only work with 4.2 as it requires some new extension handling for the patchlessness to work.

ok thanks

Hello and thank you for your time!
Sorry for posting this here (irc and Google Group is unanswered):
I want to filter for multiple tags but cannot find the proper options like "and", "or", "not".
How do I enter this information in the filter?
Result should be something like:
I want to filter all test cases containing tag "A" and "B" but not tag "C"
Thanks - 8/23/2012 02:09:00 AM
- Greg Hendricks said...
Hmmm, I'm not sure that that is possible at this time. It might be possible to craft a URL query that could do such a thing using the "boolean charts" syntax similar to Bugzilla. I don't recall now how well this worked though.

Hello Greg,
thank you for your answer.
How is it possible to enter multiple tags? Separated by comma? I guess multiple tags can be entered because it reads "tags" for the field ;-) - 8/27/2012 12:54:00 AM
- James Sanchez said...
When clicking the "Update Action/Results" button in the Test Run, I get the following error:
Request-URI Too Large
The requested URL's length exceeds the capacity limit for this server.
Aparently this is a known issue.
Where else can I expect this error to appear when using Testopia? - 9/11/2012 06:55:00 AM
- TravelGirl said...
it would be nice to sort test cases by several columns: for example, by sort key, then summary...
i can't find anywhere in the documentation where such is explained. can you help?
thanks! - 11/19/2012 11:20:00 AM

After creating almost 60 test cases in testopia 2.5, when we try and create a new test case the html of the case doesn't render on the page...it seems to create the case, it's listed on the dashboard but when you enter it, all you have is the header and footer of testopia and nothing else.
If I append &ctype=print to the end of the test case URL I can see all the read only text of the test case.......can anyone help with this strange issue??
I posted here because the google group and IRC have been unanswered.

We have just updated to bugzilla 4.4 with Testopia 2.5. It seems to work.

Emil von Reznicek
Emil Nikolaus Joseph, Freiherr von Reznicek (4 May 1860, Vienna – 2 August 1945, Berlin) was an Austrian late Romantic composer of Czech ancestry.
Emil von Řezníček studied law and music simultaneously in Graz. He did not finish his law degree, but continued to study music, his teacher being Wilhelm Mayer (also known as W. A. Rémy). Subsequently, he conducted at the theater in Graz, in Berlin and a few other places. From 1886 to 1894 he was Kapellmeister of the 88th Infantry of Prague, and it was here that he saw his greatest triumph with the premiere of Donna Diana (16 December 1894). In the spring of 1902 he settled in Berlin, touring to Russia and England from time to time. When the Nazi Party came to power in 1933, Reznicek tried not to become involved, but stayed in Berlin.
Reznicek was a personal friend of Richard Strauss. However, the relation between the two seems to have been an ambivalent one. Reznicek's symphonic poem Schlemihl (1912) can be seen as a direct parody of Strauss' A Hero's Life. The use of (often sarcastic) humor is a feature of much of Reznicek's music, from the jibbering Blaubart in the opera Ritter Blaubart through the sardonic Dance around the Golden Calf from Der Sieger (1913) to the expressionist Tarantella last movement of his Dance Symphony (No. 5, 1925). This Eulenspiegelei (a reference to the literary prankster Till Eulenspiegel) frequently got him into trouble in a world that was unaccustomed to the use of humour in music and art.
Ferdinand von Řezníček was his half-brother.
Today, Reznicek is mainly remembered for the overture to his opera Donna Diana, composed in 1894. The overture is a popular stand-alone piece at symphonic concerts and it served as the theme for the American radio (1947–1955) series Challenge of the Yukon, which later migrated to the TV series (1955–1958) Sergeant Preston of the Yukon. It was also used in the 1950s on the BBC's Children's Hour by Stephen King-Hall for his talks on current affairs.
Reznicek's works include orchestral works (five symphonies, suites, serenades, overtures), a violin concerto (1922), operas (Till Eulenspiegel (1902), Ritter Blaubart – A Fairy-Tale Opera in Three Acts (composed 1915–1917 and recorded by the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra in 2002), Spiel oder Ernst (1930)) and chamber music.
The first of his four string quartets (composed in 1921) received its world premiere recording from the Franz Schubert Quartet of Vienna in 1996. The German label CPO has started a project to record all of Reznicek's orchestral output. In this series, the symphonic poems Der Sieger (1913) and Schlemihl (1912), along with some symphonies (No. 2 "Ironische" and No. 5 "Tanzsinfonie") and the overture Raskolnikoff (1931) were released in November, 2006; symphony No. 1 in D minor "Tragic" was released by CPO in 2008.

Sweden takes on the Republic of Ireland in the qualifying campaign for the 2014 World Cup this evening and Tourism Ireland is pulling out all the stops to capitalise on the tourism potential of this high profile sporting event.
With lots of exposure and 'hype' about Ireland through the media in Sweden this week, the match is providing Tourism Ireland with a wonderful opportunity to highlight Ireland as a wonderful holiday destination for Swedes, as well as a top location for sporting events – and to encourage Swedish football fans to make the trip to Ireland this September for the return game in Dublin.
Five days ago – on St Patrick's Day – Tourism Ireland arranged for the venue of this evening's match, the Friends Arena in Stockholm, to be illuminated in green and it has remained green every night since then (until this evening when it will revert to the Swedish colours!). Tourism Ireland is undertaking a busy promotional programme, to capitalise on the tourism potential the game offers, which includes targeting football fans through a competition in partnership with the Swedish FA, a competition on the Tourism Ireland website, as well as online advertising on websites popular with soccer fans. Irish food and drink will be on offer this evening in the Friends Arena and Tourism Ireland has also invited influential Swedish tour operators and travel writers to attend the game.
Caroline Brunel, Tourism Ireland's manager for the Nordic region, said: "This evening's match is an excellent opportunity for us to raise the profile of Ireland in Sweden and we have put a busy promotional programme in place this week, to capitalise on the wonderful exposure. Coming so soon after St Patrick's Day when we 'greened' the Friends Arena, the venue of the match in Stockholm, it's a really great 'hook' to deliver the message that there has never been a better time for Swedish people to visit the island of Ireland."

Initiator, Chairman and Pilot of Solar Impulse

I'd never imagined that setting off to fly round the world would be so poignant. I've been dreaming about it for 16 years, ever since landing from my round-the-world balloon flight, and it's hard for me to believe that the great day has arrived. It's as if a new phase of my life is suddenly beginning.
We'd had a series of unexpected snags in recent days, including an electrical alarm just a few seconds before takeoff. Then Solar Impulse 2, flown on this first leg by André, disappeared into the mist. Unless it was into the tears that were blurring my eyes.
It is emotionally easier to be at the controls than on the ground. I'm finally in "pilot mode" to cross the Arabian Sea. And, as a bonus, to bring the first solar aircraft to Asia and break the world distance record. But already there's a bit of nostalgia for the extraordinary welcome that the Omanis gave André the day before, dressed in white dishdashas, with colorful turbans and ceremonial daggers at the waist, contrasting with our prototype's futuristic technology.
Vast bouquets of flowers, embroidered silk scarves laid one on top of another around my shoulders, the incessant crackling of blinding camera flashes: I am torn away in a split second from the cozy intimacy of my cockpit. There's no room for doubt - I've arrived in India!
A mini-tornado shakes Solar Impulse's tent and knocks the ventilation down onto the electricians' workshop. Miraculously, Sébastien had left just a few seconds earlier. Danger doesn't always come from where you expect it.
Seventeen years after my second, failed round-the-world balloon attempt, which ended in Burma, here I am on the approach to Mandalay airport. This time it's a complete success. André tells me by radio to expect the most enthusiastic welcome ever granted either to Solar Impulse 1 or 2.
Behind me lie the Bay of Bengal and the Meghna Delta, where floodplains intersperse with meanders to create one of the most beautiful sights nature can offer. I flew at over 200 km/h thanks to one of my friendly jet-streams. And before me lies a country that rejoices in discovering that clean technologies and solar energy can be a source of social cohesion, peace and economic development.
It is night. My landing lights aren't lighting up any of the pagodas. I'll have to wait till tomorrow to wallow again in the special aura of kindness and spirituality that once made such a deep impression on me...
I just love the unexpected gifts life brings.
Originally, I was supposed to take off at dawn from Mandalay and was looking forward enormously to flying over the local temples. The program was disrupted by the need to arrive earlier in Chongqing, and my departure was bought forward to 3:30 am, in inky blackness.
I was hardly airborne when illuminated pagodas swept away my disappointment. The spectacle fast became stunning, infinitely more beautiful than by day. Total darkness was punctuated with dozens of golden spots, each representing a temple glowing under floodlights. I fly north at low altitude up the Irrawaddy River, crossing Mandalay slowly. As slowly as possible…
Solar Impulse is blocked by weather in Chongqing. Delays are accumulating. Our adventure is less easy than it's seemed in recent weeks. André and I do one interview or talk after another in Shanghai for our partners. There's no way you can tire of the amazing view of Pudong from our rooms in the Peninsula, where we are privileged to be invited to stay. The pace of growth in this city is frantic. For those who still had any doubt, the center of gravity of the world's economy has indeed moved to the East.
Swiss Pilots Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg Accomplished the Second Stop Over in China Before Embarking on the Historic Pacific Crossing

Nanjing (China), April 21, 2015 – Solar Impulse 2 ("Si2"), the world's most advanced solar-powered airplane and the first to fly day and night without fuel, landed successfully in Nanjing, People's Republic of China, following a 20 day stay in Chongqing. With Bertrand Piccard at the controls, the solar airplane concluded the sixth leg of the historic trip around the world this evening at 11:28 pm local time China (3:28 pm GMT).
"My job as a pilot was relatively easy. The preparatory measures however proved challenging for our team of weather specialists and engineers from Si's Partner Altran at the Monaco Control Center. We simulated all possible trajectories and exhausted all different strategies to get Solar Impulse 2 in the air; from defining pit-stops at airports along the route, to different speeds, altitudes and holding patterns. Throughout the entire process, the Chinese authorities have been unfailingly helpful and open to our ideas. We are amazed by the spirit of our team and the willingness of our partners to help us achieve our goal: The first Round-The-World flight without fuel" said Bertrand Piccard, Solar Impulse Initiator and Chairman.
This journey was also essential from a technical perspective as it was used to verify and fine-tune final elements in the preparation of the Pacific Ocean crossing scheduled for early May, pending favorable weather conditions. This last leg is bringing Solar Impulse one step closer to an aviation first – the next part of the circumnavigation will require flying five consecutive days and nights in a solar-powered aircraft to cross the Pacific, a feat that has never been accomplished before.
Commenting on the arrival in Nanjing André Borschberg said:
"Nanjing represents a turning point in the entire mission; this is where everything comes together for us as pilots after initiating the project 12 years ago. This is the moment of truth where all the technical and human challenges will have to be overcome. We now have less than a month to mentally and physically prepare for what will be Solar Impulse's longest flight to date: a five day and five night journey across the Pacific Ocean from Nanjing to Hawaii."
Solar Impulse heads for Nanjing before crossing Pacific Ocean on its Round-The-World Flight
Chongqing (China) – April 21, 2015: Solar Impulse departed for its sixth flight from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport at 06:06 am (10:06 pm GMT [April 20th]), heading toward Nanjing Lukou International Airport in the People's Republic of China. ...
Chongqing (China) – April 21, 2015: Solar Impulse departed for its sixth flight from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport at 06:06 am (10:06 pm GMT [April 20th]), heading toward Nanjing Lukou International Airport in the People's Republic of China. Bertrand Piccard is flying the solar powered airplane for an expected 14 hours across the country before arriving in Nanjing. Solar Impulse 2 (Si2) has been waiting patiently in Chongqing during the past three weeks for a suitable weather window to open - cloudy weather conditions and excessive crosswinds prevented an earlier take-off.
During the previous weeks, Solar Impulse meteorologists and simulation teams have battled with unfavourable weather circumstances to find solutions allowing a departure from Chongqing sooner rather than later. Strategies explored included alternative routes, possible pit stops and flying at various altitudes. While considering several possibilities, the Civil Aviation Authority of China (CAAC) was very supportive, collaborative and flexible, for which Solar Impulse is grateful.
Si2 departed from Chongqing, heading East toward the city of Fuling, located in the province of Sichuan. Bertrand Piccard will fly over the mountainous region just outside Fuling between 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm local at a cruising altitude of 3,700 meters (12,140 feet). Piccard will continue Easterly, crossing the longest river in Asia, the Yangtze River, after which flying North Easterly toward the city of Wuhan. The solar powered aircraft will pass over Chaohu Lake, one of the largest lakes in China at roughly 8:00 am local time. Piccard is expected to arrive in Nanjing at 8:00 pm (12:00 am GMT).
Si2 will remain in Nanjing for approximately 10 days, depending on favorable weather conditions, as a thorough check of the airplane is required before departing Nanjing to Hawaii (USA) for the Pacific Crossing which will last 5 days and 5 nights.

ROCHESTER, N.Y.�� The Empire 8 Conference honored a pair of West Canada Valley High School graduates Monday when it announced its weekly awards. Hartwick College senior Jared Suderley and Utica College sophomore Sarah Wiatr are among the league�s athletes of the week.
Suderley was tabbed the Men�s Basketball Player of the Week for the ninth time in his career and first time this season. He helped the Hawks go 3-0 during the week, scoring 80 points in victories over Stevens Institute of Technology, Alfred University and Houghton College. He had 24 points and 16 rebounds in the 74-68 win against Stevens and had 20 and 14 in a record-setting 131-124 overtime win against Alfred Friday. Saturday afternoon, Suderley scored a season-high 36 points � his career high is 40, set in an NCAA Tournament game as a sophomore � grabbed 17 rebounds and shot 21-for-21 at the foul line in a 96-82 win against Houghton.
On Saturday, Suderley also passed 1990 graduate Dave Versocki for second place on Hartwick�s career rebounding list. He has 790. The Alfred game broke Hartwick records for points allowed and combined points by two teams.
Suderley leads the Empire 8 in scoring (20.2 points per game), rebounds (10.6 per game) and free throw accuracy (.875). He has eight double-doubles in 16 games.
Wiatr was recognized as Field Athlete of the Week for her performance at St. Lawrence University�s SLU Invitational. She won the triple jump with a leap of 10.93 meters � approximately 35 feet, 10 1/4 inches � and earned 10 points for the Pioneers. Wiatr also ran a leg of Utica�s third-place four-by-400-meter relay and led the women to a fourth-place finish at the indoor event.
Suderley�s next game is at Utica College Friday while Wiatr and her teammates make the short trip to Clinton Saturday to compete in Hamilton College�s invitational meet.

Study: Patients With Access to EMRs Tend to Use More Services
Patients with online access to medical records and clinicians tended to use more clinical services than those without access, according to a study in Journal of the American Medical Association.
Researchers studied the use of clinical services by members of Denver-based Kaiser Permanente Colorado, a group model, integrated healthcare delivery system. The study period was from March 2005 through June 2010. KPCO added an online feature called MyHealthManager to its electronic medical record, KP HealthConnect, in May 2006. MHM allows members to securely access their health records, including test results, immunization records, active medications, medical problem lists and care plans.
Compared to members who did not access MHM, patients who accessed the online service had increased rates of office visits, telephone encounters, after-hours clinic visits, emergency department encounters and hospitalizations over the study period.
"Overall, our findings suggest that the relationship between online access and utilization is more complex than the simple substitution of online for in-person care suggested by earlier studies," the authors wrote. "If these findings are evident in other systems, health care delivery planners and administrators will need to consider how to allocate resources to deal with increased use of clinical services."

hey there, I am currently on 6.1.2. I was wondering if there was something i could do that would allow me to downgrade again if i updated to, lets say iOS7? I remember there were blobs back a couple years but to my knowledge that method doesn't work anymore? Thanks!
I think that iOS6.1.2 is no longer being signed by Apple, so you are out of luck, and shsh-blobs generally only works for iDevices that has the A4-Chip or older (with the exception of the iPad2) If you have an iPhone4S and you updated to a new iOS then there is no turning back, unless if you have updated to a beta iOS, in which you will be able to downgrade to the last iOS that is still being signed by Apple which currently is iOS6.1.3, so if jailbreaking is on your mind, then you should stay with iOS6.1.2 until we see a jailbreak for iOS7, which we will probably not see until the final release of iOS7
