USDA Urges Arizona "Don't Go Green"
Save Our Citrus Campaign Focuses on Greening Disease (HLB) Prevention
Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) July 02, 2013
Today the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) launched a new effort in Arizona to raise awareness about the threat of citrus greening disease, also known as Huanglongbing (HLB). Arizonans are urged "Don't Go Green!" because "Arizona Citrus is at Risk."
Arizona produces 38,000 tons of citrus at a value of more than $15 million and accounts for thousands of citrus-related jobs within the state. Citrus greening disease has the potential to devastate Arizona's commercial citrus industry. This would have a detrimental impact to the state's economy and lead to many lost jobs.
Citrus greening disease (HLB) is one of the most severe plant diseases in the world. It can affect any variety of citrus trees. Once a tree is infected with the disease, there is no known cure.
Although the disease is not harmful to humans, fruits from infected trees are not suitable for consumption because of their green color, misshapen appearance and bitter taste. The disease has devastated millions of citrus trees in the United States.
Citrus greening is spread by a bug smaller than a mosquito—the Asian citrus psyllid. When the bug feeds on an infected tree, it becomes a carrier, spreading the disease from one tree to another. Citrus greening can also spread from place to place when infected citrus, trees, clippings or equipment are moved from one place to another.
"Don't take your daily cup of orange juice or that beautiful lemon tree for granted," said Larry Hawkins, USDA Save Our Citrus campaign spokesman. "One of America's most precious natural resources –our citrus—is literally being attacked and destroyed by citrus greening disease. We hope all Arizonans will take time to learn about the disease because residents are the first line of defense in stopping the spread of citrus diseases."
There are five things you should know to keep Arizona citrus healthy:
1. Be Aware of Quarantines. Currently, a portion of La Paz and Yuma Counties and all of Mohave County are under quarantine for Asian citrus psyllid. Do not move citrus trees, fruit or trimmings from these areas. Not only are you risking spreading citrus diseases, but it's also against the law.
2. Inspect Citrus Plants Regularly for Diseases and Insects. Check plants for signs of citrus greening such as leathery-feeling leaves with yellow spots or blotches. Fruit from infected trees may be small, deformed and taste bitter. It can also retain a green color rather than ripening to the expected shades of yellow or orange. If you detect an infected plant, report it immediately.
3. Keep Homegrown Citrus at Home. Help reduce the spread of citrus diseases by not moving your home-grown citrus fruit or plants from quarantine areas.
4. Check the Citrus Plant Supplier. Be a savvy buyer. Only buy citrus plants from a reputable, licensed Arizona nursery. Follow instructions on the tag regarding the Asian citrus psyllid or Huanglongbing (HLB).
5. Avoid Fines and Penalties. If you knowingly purchase citrus in violation of quarantine regulations and requirements, the penalties could range from $1,100 to $60,000 per violation. If you suspect citrus is being moved improperly, report your concerns to the USDA's State Plant Health Director's office; you can find contact information online at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/StateOffices.

The five-hour blackout of a prominent mobile service provider affected different people to varying degrees.
Aravind Dinesh, a software professional with a speech and hearing disability, uses an app, 'talkbytext' and a variety of other web-based tools to work and communicate. "Even the little bit of hearing I am capable of is because of the apps that amplify sound for me. I felt helpless for over five hours. Without data connectivity, none of the apps worked. Even my texts to the service centre bounced," he added.
"Over the years, texting has revolutionised the life of people with hearing disability. Now, even a day without a mobile phone is difficult for many of them," said S. Krishnaswamy, advisor, Ability Foundation.
Ashok Nagaraju, a student with a speech and haring impairment, who studies B. Com at Presidency College, said he has been reliant on SMSs for almost three years now. "I use a very simple phone with no app. On Thursday, I was angry as I could not communicate and very few of my friends understand sign language" he said.
Also affected were ambulance services. R. Krishnaveni, a volunteer with St. John's ambulance, said on Thursday that it was difficult coordinating medical services as many of those involved were not reachable. "And, many people use services of the operator here. In many cases, all helplines of a hospital are of the same service provider."

Afghanistan's top prosecutor said on Wednesday that he was launching an investigation into ballot fraud in the September parliamentary election and had suspended spokesmen for the nation's two main electoral bodies for making irresponsible comments to the media.
The announcement by Mohammad Ishaq Alako came just hours before final results were to be released following more than two months of investigations into allegations of widespread fraud
If Mr. Alako's statement, aired on Afghan television, is seen as throwing into question the decisions of election officials, it could cast doubt on the long-awaited results.
The attorney general's office is charged with investigating allegations of criminal activity in the election, but Mr. Alako's comments suggest that he is planning to investigate the legitimacy of the entire process.
"The decision about the Afghan election has been made in Dubai and in Kabul's foreign exchange market," Mr. Alako said, alleging that the election was bought and sold by powerful, well-connected Afghans who keep their money in Dubai. "I have evidence and documents and I am going to investigate. If no one accepts my investigation, I will not come to my job again."
Mr. Alako said he had suspended the spokesmen for the Independent Election Commission, which organized the vote, and the Electoral Complaints Commission, which investigates allegations of fraud and misconduct. He said the men made "irresponsible comments to the media" about the election and about the attorney general's office.
It was unclear whether the attorney general's office had the authority to suspend the officials. Both men told Afghanistan's Tolo TV that they were still at their jobs and had received no notice of suspension.
There has been a tug-of-war in recent weeks between Afghan electoral officials and the attorney general's office over who has the final authority to investigate allegations of electoral fraud following the September 28 vote.
At one point, Mr. Alako announced a series of investigations into alleged fraud, sparking complaints from the international community that he was overstepping his authority. According to Afghan law, only the Electoral Complaints Commission can decide whether fraud occurred or not. That body then forwards any evidence of criminal activity to the attorney general's office for possible prosecution.
The parliamentary election was the first since a fraud-marred presidential poll last year that undermined the legitimacy of Mr. Karzai's government and pushed some NATO countries to threaten to withdraw troops and aid. Allegations of misconduct in the parliamentary election are being closely watched by Afghanistan's international partners for signs that Mr. Karzai is committed to curbing corruption in his government.
Mr. Karzai said on Tuesday that the elections were an opportunity for Afghanistan to strengthen its democracy and not a potentially destabilizing event.
"Destabilization of the country I am sure will not happen, and we will not allow it," Mr. Karzai said. But of course we want an election that will reflect the aspirations of the Afghan people.

About Car Racks
Travelling by car with your bike is much easier if you can carry it on the outside. It doesn't take up any room inside the vehicle and you don't get mud and grease all over your upholstery. The simplest racks to use fit onto the rear of the car. Most grip the vehicle with plastic-coated hooks which must be positioned where they can spread the load. With all these racks, it's vital that the rack is firmly attached to the car and it's best if you then fix the bikes to the car itself, not just to the rack. If you have a tow-ball, use it! That way, the rack won't even touch the car and the whole setup is really secure. If your car has roof rails, you can mount cycle carriers to them. This works well but be careful when entering car parks with height barriers! Whichever type you choose, make sure you lock the bikes to the car if you want to keep them.
About the Saris brand
Home for CycleOps/Saris is in an old farmhouse in bike-crazy Madison, Wisconsin. Their production facilities are behind the farmhouse. Believe it or not their origins are in curtain rods. Two brothers had a company that made window products. After the Graber brothers sold their company they needed something to do. They experimented in their garage and came up with a bike rack. They sold lots of racks under the Graber name and then sold the company. That was sometime back in 1973. Chris and Sara Fortune purchased the company in 1989 when it was selling 80,000 bike racks a year. In 1990 and 1991 Sara and Chris introduced a high end brand of bike rack, renaming them "Saris." Today Saris is a leading supplier to the bicycle industry in 30 countries. The company expanded in 1999 by acquiring the Cycleops brand of bike trainer. As usual they set out to improve on the design and by 2001 they created a new trainer frame and in 2002 they debuted the world's first progressive resistance magnetic trainer. It was in 2001 that they heard about a hub that could measure power output and they jumped at the chance to bring this product to cyclists. They bought the company that invented Powertap and started a new round of innovations Dede Demet won the gold medal at the 2002 Montreal World Cup on her powertap.

Joshua Lorenz
ya thats true i guess. ill have to put a clearer video up
Jay Marx Almira
Maybe a clearer evidence like showing your finger/s while clicking the mouse will do , this record can be faked easily. One more thing you can still type into the box after you hit the start button so it is still possible to edit the score,.. Make sense? And after all you didn't show in the video that the time is running or you really start at zero.
Joshua Lorenz
another thing, notice it shows the time at zero. well the only way to get it to zero it to press start. so if i pressed it it would restart the score. but you can clearly see my score in he box and also see i didnt type anything in
Joshua Lorenz
haha and if i typed it in i wouldnt have been so excited! i was trying to break the damn record for hours and my arm started hurting lol
Joshua Lorenz
if you listen carefully you can hear me clicking the mouse.

Resources for Retailers
June 13, 2013
Riak is a highly available, low-latency database for retailers that need to provide always-on eCommerce and mobile channel services. Riak offers a number of key technical benefits for retailers including a highly available experience for shoppers, the ability to scale to peak loads during major holidays with low operational costs, and global data locality for a low-latency experience for shoppers all over the world.
For retailers that want to learn about the advantages of Riak, we have put together some resources that showcase how other retailers are using Riak. Below are some of the highlights:
- The "Retail on Riak" whitepaper looks at how Riak can be used for common retail needs, such as powering shopping carts and product catalogs.
- Riak's architecture has helped Best Buy build and operate its new platform, with Riak playing a key role. To learn more about why Riak was selected, check out this video from RICON 2012.
- ideel, a flash shopping site, uses Riak to provide a reliable and available persistent cache. More information can be found in their case study.
- Copious is a social commerce marketplace that uses Riak to handle user authentication via Facebook or Twitter accounts. For more details on their polyglot data store, check out their case study and video from their Co-Founder.
- Shopzilla has both a case study and video that highlights how they use Riak to power their keyword and scrapbook data services.
- On our blog, you can find slides from the Retail on Riak webcast, the benefits Riak offers retailers, examples of Riak in production, and how to start building retail applications in Riak.
For a complete list of resources, visit our Resources Page.
Shopzilla Selects Riak For Core Data Services
May 28, 2013
Shopzilla allows customers to easily find, compare, and buy anything on the web. They reach over 40 million customers each month, connecting them to 100 million products from tens of thousands of retailers. Riak powers both their Keyword and Scrapbook Data Services.
Previously, Shopzilla was using large installations of RDBMS as their primary data platform. This worked well for some use cases – however, it had unnecessary features and was expensive for some services, especially read-heavy use cases with large datasets. For these use cases, they wanted an open source solution that offered deployment on commodity hardware and support for high read and write throughput. With downtime having a direct impact on revenue, availability was a critical factor. Riak was evaluated alongside MongoDB, Redis, and HBase. Ultimately Riak not only fit all of their criteria, but also offered ease of management and operations, allowing their development team to focus on other areas of the business.
Shopzilla uses Riak to store data for its Keyword and Scrapbook Services. The Keyword Service serves metadata about primary keywords and requires real-time access. It stores over 1 billion keywords and can process tens of millions of new keywords at a time. They migrated this service over to a six-node Riak cluster that uses Varnish for caching. Riak is accessed via protocol buffers for high performance and uses the LevelDB backend, best suited to implementations with a very large number of keys. Under moderate load, they see 95% of traffic requests come in under 10 milliseconds.
The Scrapbook Service allows Shopzilla to aggregate product information from different web sources to add supplemental details on their product pages. This means they potentially need to store data equivalent to the scale of their product inventory. Since this product information is accessed via Product ID, it was a perfect fit for Riak's key/value data model. To provide familiar ad-hoc SQL querying capabilities, they worked with their content team to aggregate and stage this data in an Oracle schema before bringing it into Riak. This allowed them to design a schema based on their needs that would not affect the speed in which Riak serves this data. Most of their online requests are served in well under 5 milliseconds.
Riak has been in production at Shopzilla for over a year now. According to Will Gage, Principal Software Architect at Shopzilla, "I haven't had to worry about Riak since implementation because we haven't had any significant problems with it. We're confident we made the right choice with Riak. It works as it's supposed to and its stability is great. We've watched it work through real-life network partitions under load and recover quickly with no intervention. In short, Riak lets us focus on things other than the database."
For more information about why Shopzilla chose Riak, check out Gage's talk from a recent Riak meetup in Santa Monica, below. To learn more about Riak, visit basho.com/riak.
Riak at Shopzilla
April 24, 2013
Will Gage of Shopzilla presented last week on their production Riak usage at the Santa Monica Java Users' Group. Gage, a member of the Consumer Site Engineering team, shared details on how they built various user-facing services on Riak, why it was the right tool for the job, and when you might want to use it in production. Will's talk starts at the 49 minute mark in the video embedded below, and it's well worth your time. In addition to offering details on data modeling for their specific use cases, he also talks about service latencies for their production applications and how the Riak community played an important role in their decision.
Mark Phillips, Basho's Director of Technical Evangelism, also presented. His talk starts at approximately the 1:20:00 point and is entitled Riak and the Power of Distributed Systems. An excellent complement to Will's talk, this covers Riak's architecture at a high level, how to access it as a developer, and then ends with a few use case discussions.
If you're interested in more talks on Riak in production and the future of Riak, make sure to grab a ticket for RICON East, happening May 13-14 in New York City. This will be two days of talks, parties, and hacking dedicated to Riak, developers, and the future of distributed systems in production.

Special Correspondent
Team of office-bearers to be formed soon
BANGALORE: D.V. Sadananda Gowda was formally declared the Bharatiya Janata Party State unit president at the party's State council meeting here on Sunday. The party's central leaders, however, cautioned the State unit on the need to resolve internal differences. These should not be discussed outside the party forum, they said. Mr. Sadananda Gowda, who has been elected unopposed, would get a term of three years. He would soon form a team of office-bearers after consulting the party leaders.
In an obvious reference to the tussle between the factions headed by general secretary H.N. Ananth Kumar and Deputy Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa backing their own candidates for the post, senior party leader M. Venkaiah Naidu said that "the episode went out of proportion." He warned the party leaders against indulging in "loose talk" about their colleagues and asked them to confine intra-party differences to the party fora.
Despite the warning, there were indications that the tussle between the rival camps might continue. While Mr. Venkaiah Naidu remarked in a lighter vein that "Sadananda" (meaning "ever happy" in Kannada) Gowda would give happiness to the party, Mr. Ananth Kumar insisted that Mr. Sadananda Gowda should give happiness to "everybody" and take all the party workers together with him.
Mr. Sadananda Gowda promised that he would work to carry everyone together. Pointing out that he had been criticised for restricting his activities to Mangalore, Bangalore and Delhi by a section of leaders, Mr. Sadananda Gowda said he would rectify such lapses.
Mr. Venkaiah Naidu hailed the performance of the coalition Government in the State and said the performance of the BJP Ministers was satisfactory. The BJP central leaders were happy with the performance of the party Ministers, especially the budget presented by Mr. Yediyurappa, he noted.
In his address, Mr. Yediyurappa chose to reply to his detractors. "Those who themselves do not work are criticising me," he said. "I do not need anybody's certificate. It will be enough if the party workers are happy with my work," he said.
Nevertheless, the shadow of dissidence still hangs over the party. Mr. Yediyurappa and Mr. Ananth Kumar are learnt to have indulged in a verbal duel just before the commencement of the party State council meeting.
According to sources in the BJP, the heated exchange of words took place in front of the party central leaders, Mr. Venkaiah Naidu, Omprakash Mathur and Tavarchand Gehlot. Mr. Ananth Kumar is said to have proposed that his followers, Aravind Limbavali and Basavaraj Patil Yatnal, should be appointed as national council members. Mr. Yediyurappa reportedly opposed the proposal on the grounds that the party central leadership had taken note of the dissident activities by these leaders.

Customized Classic Moleskine Folio
Overall rating based on 142 reviews
robert lewis – Verified Buyer
This the f'n coolest thing I've ever owned for carrying around to cafes or the park. Being a writer, I'm CONSTANTLY looking for that ONE thing I can take EVERYWHERE and is not bulky or ugly and will hold pens, extra cash, pens, and my xanax. This Classic Folio is my new best friend and I would have like 10,000 of its babies if it would only quit holding onto its virginity.
Nuff said.
Richard McCreary – Verified Buyer
Extremely well made product. Love the ability to customize. Thanks for a great product!
Todd Roach – Verified Buyer
Cecile van Straten – Verified Buyer
I paid $79 for a tiny product and was shocked to receive an ordinary organizer so common in Asia. It would not cost more than $20 over here. so disappointed. It's a scam.
I have no use for this.
I've had a couple of these for over a year now. Mine are customized-->I found it very easy, with some direction from the Rickshaw folks, to get a cool cover/fabric on ebay, send it directly to them, and have them use that for my cover.
The end result is really organized for my work travel needs, keeps all my notes and pens together, and keeps the right pockets for all that little stuff (notes, business cards, coupons, whatever) that just seems to spill out of my pockets.
Definitely a great invention, worth the $50!

The new version of Ubuntu12.04, codename Precise Pangolin is officially here, meaning two things: I get to be really happy about new features, and some people get to complain about Unity in the comments. Horray!
Its been a year since Ubuntu made Unity the default interface, and man: many of you were not happy. I was thrilled, however: in my opinion Unity is better looking and easier to use than any other Linux user interface. Sure: there were some rough edges in that release, but overall I got the Linux desktop Id been trying to hack Gnome into becoming for years.
Heck: in a lot of ways I like Unity better than OS X, an operating system I use a lot.
Unity isnt a tablet user interface being forced on desktop users: youre thinking of Windows 8. Unity is a system that works well on laptops and desktopsits really easy to use using only the keyboardbut will also work well on a tablet if necessary. This interface, along with projects like Ubuntu for Android, wont bring about the magical Year of the Linux Desktop, but they do give Ubuntu a solid spot in todays complex computing market.
12.04 improves on Unitys strengths, and addresses some of your old complaints. Its fast, includes new features desktop users will love, and, as always, gives you quick access to the latest free software. There are even new customization options by defaultincluding the ability to auto-hide the dock.
Not sure what Ubuntu or Unity is? Check out this in-browser demo of Unity to get a feel. Then keep reading to find out why I love Ubuntu 12.04

Teacher at Holliday had home searched
A former softball and assistant football coach at Holliday ISD has been charged with six criminal counts alleging he had sex with a student.
David Norris, 29, was arrested Tuesday afternoon and was held in the Archer County Jail in lieu of $250,000 bond on each count for a total $1.5 million.
Representatives of the Wichita Falls Police Department, Archer County Sheriff's Office and Holliday police met Tuesday morning to discuss the case.
Norris faces three counts of improper relationship between an educator and a student, two counts of indecency with a child, and sexual assault — all second-degree felonies.
Sgt. Simon Dwyer, of the Archer County Sheriff's Department, said the accuser is a 17-year-old girl who was 16 when some of the offenses allegedlywere committed. The crimes are said to have happened for more than a year.
Arrest affidavits indicate the victim made an outcry to a church camp chaperone June 9 that she had been involved in an inappropriate sexual relationship with her high school coach.
The girl was interviewed at Patsy's House Child Advocacy Center in Wichita Falls a few days later and related more details of the relationship.
According to the affidavits, the relationship began with texting via cellphone, kissing and other intimate acts at Holliday High School when the victim was 16.
In May 2011 the two met on a rural road and engaged in sexual activity.
The victim claimed the relationship continued through her junior year and until early May 2012.
The two met at several locations, including the Holliday High School gym, in the coaches offices, on a rural road, and at Norris' residence in Wichita Falls.
Wichita Falls police executed a search warrant Thursday at Norris' home on Trinidad Street and seized his cellphone to verify text messages.
Norris resigned from the school the same day.

Tour tech 2011: Specialized show top riders' custom-colour shoes for Tour de France
S-Works shoes and helmets get the Tour de France treatment
Specialized have shown off new pro rider-inspired colour schemes for their top S-Works Road Shoe for the Tour de France, and they're ready with Prevail helmets to match the leaders' jerseys if any of their sponsored athletes win them over the course of the race.
We had a quick look at the new kit at Team Astana's hotel when we headed out to France ahead of tomorrow's race start. The shoes come in an Alberto Contador version, an Alexandra Vinokourov version and a Roman Kreuziger model too.
If any of the Specialized-sponsored riders get into the yellow jersey during the race, they get little yellow dials for the shoes' Boa lace system. There are two Boa dials per shoe allowing the tension at the top and bottom of the closure to be set independently. They're excellent shoes, by the way – as you'll find out if you read our review from last year.
The S-Works Prevail helmet is Specialized's top road lid, coming with two different densities of EPS foam and a shed-load of air-cooling. The teams have models in race-leader yellow, points-leader green, and King of the Mountains polka dots for any of their riders who take the relevant jersey. It's all about the co-ordination. There's no point being fast if you don't look cool.
Continuing the helmet theme, Specialized have given their TT helmet a new integrated visor so the riders don't need to bother with anything as aerodynamically inefficient as a pair of shades. This is the Sungard version, clearly, but all the teams who use Spesh helmets will be getting them for the team and individual time trials.
Final thing for now... Are you familiar with the concept of podium shoes? Even if you're not, the name is kind of self explanatory. Shoe manufacturers want their sponosored athletes to wear their branded footwear when they head up to the podium to collect their medals, flowers, jerseys, kisses and all that stuff. It's a big opportunity to get loads of exposure. But totter up the steps on your cleats and you stand a good chance of coming down arse over... elbow, undoing all that good publicity you've just won. Hence, podium shoes: they look like cycling shoes, they're actually daps. Clever!
There's a trend, though, for podium shoes to be worn when there's not a podium in sight. Yes, if you work for Specialized or Mavic or whoever: fine, it makes sense. We're just a bit concerned they're starting to leak out into general use and, to be honest, it concerns us greatly.
I have a friend who used to wear Sidi motorbike boots everywhere. He didn't have a motorbike. But he did run an art gallery in the East End at the time as well as being a an pretty cutting-edge artist in his own right so I just put it down to part of his quirky personality.
Are you saying Mavic types are all walking round France with bright yellow trainers - sorry, podium shoes - on? Never mind the drugs squad, where's the fashion police when you need them

Speaking of yellow, I see Alberto Contador bought his team mates a new watch each for the Tour with a fetching yellow strap.
I couldnt help but think that yellow leather must have come from some very strange cows...

I thought they were called Cavendish shoes.
That reminds me of an anecdote about a cyclist riding out to a bait shop to join his friends for a fishing trip, and the wizened old salts behind the counter exclaiming, "Wow, that boy's really serious, he's even got special fishing shoes."

OK, it's a really trivial point, but the missing apostrophe in the headline makes it seem at a first reading as if Specialized were showing the shoes to the riders. 'Hey, top riders, look at these custom-colour shoes. Suits you, sir...'
Anyway, yes, I want some.

A few days ago Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan invited sharp criticism after declaring that the government was looking at promoting morality as the basis to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS .
"The thrust of the AIDS campaign should not only be on the use of condoms," he said in an interview to The New York Times. "This sends the wrong message that you can have any kind of illicit sexual relationship, but as long as you're using a condom, it's fine."
Post the backlash that his comments invited, Dr Vardhan tweeted that his comments had been misinterpreted. However, his statement on Facebook which sought to clarify his stand still asserted his former position of fidelity and the Abstinence-Be Faithful-Condom line.
"My statement on informing people on the supremacy of fidelity as an AIDS prevention measure is not only a piece of cultural advice but also a scientific one. So as Minister of Health I find it justified to include this simple message in the communication strategy of the government's anti-AIDS programmes. Condoms promise safe sex, but the safest sex is through faithfulness to one's partner. Prevention is always better than cure," he said in his statement.
India has the world's third largest population suffering from HIV and AIDS. Something that the good doctor wants us to fight with traditional good old "family values".
However Dr Vardhan's stance of preferring an abstraction of values over contraceptives is in complete contradiction to the various tactics employed by the Narendra Modi government in Gujarat for family planning in the past. In 2006, Modi had championed the use of condoms and contraceptive pills under the scheme 'Kalyan Chhap' in Gujarat. Dubbed as the 'Modi condom', the packets also carried his face as well as that of the then Gujarat health minister Ashok Bhatt on them. Although this had attracted a few detractors, in 2009 a study had ranked Gujarat as being second in the country in the use of contraceptives, pegging the total condom usage in Gujarat in the year 2008-09 to 11.95 lakh.
Meanwhile, Dr Vardhan's stance against Modi's is still gaining a lot of responses on Twitter:
Irrespective of his clarifications, exasperating to see #HarshVardhan stand on 'morality', 'Indian values'. Values are imbibed, not promoted
— Malvika Mudgal (@MollyMudgal) June 25, 2014
.@JehangirPocha If #Harshvardhan had been law minister, would he have said let's not fight crimes with law. Let's fight with values
— sarvarta (@sarvarta) June 25, 2014
Fidelity to prevent AIDS?? Well that seems like an easy solution..#thinkharder #harshvardhan

Give me a packet of flavoured sanskar pls!! Any brand will do!! #HarshVardhan

HMO Complaints and Appeals:
Most Key Procedures in Place, but Others Valued by Consumers Largely Absent
HEHS-98-119: Published: May 12, 1998. Publicly Released: May 15, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined: (1) what elements are considered important to a system for processing health maintenance organization (HMO) member complaints and appeals; (2) the extent to which HMOs' complaint and appeal system contain these elements; (3) what concerns consumers have regarding HMO complaint and appeal systems; (4) what information is available on the number and types of complaints and appeals HMOs receive from their members; and (5) how, if at all, HMOs use their complaint and appeal data.
GAO noted that: (1) a majority of HMOs in GAO's study incorporated most criteria considered important for complaint and appeal systems, however, consumer advocates remain concerned that complaint and appeal systems do not fully meet member needs; (2) additionally, HMOs in GAO's study do not uniformly collect and report data on the complaints and appeals they receive to health care regulators, purchasers, or consumers; (3) nationally recognized regulatory, consumer, and industry groups have identified elements that are important to an enrollee complaint and appeal system; (4) 11 elements were identified by at least 2 of these groups and fall into 3 general categories: timeliness, integrity of the decisionmaking process, and effective communication with members; (5) the policies and procedures at the 38 HMOs in GAO's review contained most of the 11 important elements, although they varied considerably in the mechanisms adopted to meet them; (6) the lack of an independent, external review of plan decisions and the difficulty in understanding how to use plan complaint and appeal systems were of particular concern to consumer advocacy groups, who contend that plans' systems, therefore, do not adequately serve the needs of plan enrollees; (7) however, consumer concerns about the impartiality of HMO decisionmakers could be addressed by using independent, external review systems for HMO members; (8) consumer concerns about the difficulty in understanding how to use complaint and appeal systems might be addressed by revising written plan materials, which are often difficult to understand; (9) additionally, although experience to date is limited, such concerns are being addressed by ombudsman programs in some parts of the country; (10) publicly available data on the number and types of complaints and appeals, if consistently defined and uniformly collected, can enhance oversight, accountability, and market competition; (11) comparative data would provide regulators, purchasers, and individual consumers with a view of members' relative satisfaction with health plans, thereby supplementing other performance indicators; (12) all HMOs in GAO's study stated that they review complaint and appeal data to identify problems that the plan needs to address; and (13) several HMOs reported using complaint and appeal data, together with data from other sources, to make changes in benefits and plan processes, and to attempt changes in member and provider behavior as well.

And the reason that the Yanks are still in this AL East race, despite their ups and downs, is because the one bit of luck they have had: The rest of the division has played almost as underwhelmingly as they have, or worse.
"Yeah, well, we're all going through our issues, there's no doubt about it," Girardi agreed. "So as I've said, it's probably going to come down to the end, who handles the injuries the best. Obviously, we need to play better. I'm sure every club in our division says that at this point. We need to play better. We're right in the thick of it."
Like Girardi, this Yankees team at least has some fight.
Too bad for them, they also have too many hitters who are hitting like Girardi did once upon a time. Five of the eight everyday players he started Sunday were hitting .243 or lower. When he looks down his bench, four of the five players who sat last night are hitting .237 or below. (No wonder the Yanks took a chance by sending Carlos Beltran home in the sixth, only to see him get thrown out. "Just trying to get another run closer," Girardi shrugged.)
The Yanks are still missing three-fifths of their Opening Day starting rotation until CC Sabathia returns from his knee injury. And that's supposed to happen shortly after the All-Star Game. But general manager Brian Cashman better hurry up and make the trade(s) he keeps saying he wants to make. Because Ivan Nova isn't coming back, and Michael Pineda's injured shoulder just suffered another setback, and Girardi didn't sound all that convincing when asked directly if the Yanks are asking too much of young Whitley, David Phelps and Nuno, who has looked overmatched most of the time.
"No, I don't think so," Girardi said.
In his heart he knows that kind of starting rotation makes it hard enough to win. Whitley (3-2) was trying to prove that his first six games with the Yanks indicated the kind of pitcher he is rather than his last start, when he was rocked by Toronto. But then he went out and coughed up an RBI single to Stephen Drew, who began the night hitting .125. Then he served up a towering three-run homer to David Ortiz.
"He made some mistakes in the middle," Girardi said, "and they hit it."
And still, when Derek Jeter's refusal to give in against Red Sox starter John Lackey resulted in an 11-pitch at-bat that ended with Jeter slapping an RBI single to left that score Ichiro Suzuki in the third inning, the Yanks got some life. When Mark Teixeira and Beltran followed the very next inning with booming back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the fourth, making it a one-run game, Girardi had seen enough of Whitley when Whitley walked Jackie Bradley Jr., the Sox's No. 9 batter, to start the fifth.
Girardi decided to go get the last 15 outs of this game with his bullpen, the most trustworthy part of his team.
"Yep," Girardi said.
It just didn't work out. Shawn Kelley didn't retire any of the hitters he faced, walking two of them. "Don't know [why] -- he's had success off these guys," Girardi shrugged.
Girardi pulled every string he could.
But instead of managing to get something going, the Yanks were just going down.

In a new study, scientists at the National Institutes of Health took a molecular-level journey into microtubules, the hollow cylinders inside brain cells that act as skeletons and internal highways.
From far away, the top of a leaf looks like one seamless surface; however, up close, that smooth exterior is actually made up of a patchwork of cells in a variety of shapes and sizes.
Tokyo, Nov 29, 2013 - (ACN Newswire) - Researchers at Waseda University in Japan have identified key information to help explain the formation of the "spindle apparatus", a structure required for cell
Scientists using high-powered microscopes have made a stunning observation of the architecture within a cell – and identified for the first time how the architecture changes during the formation of gametes, also known as sex cells, in order to successfully complete the process.
Researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have discovered that members of an enzyme family found in humans and throughout the plant and animal kingdoms play a crucial role in regulating cell motility.
Researchers at the Carnegie Institution for Science, with colleagues at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology, observed for the first time a fundamental process of cellular organization in living plant cells: the birth of microtubules by studying recruitment and activity of individual protein complexes that create the cellular protein network known as the microtubule cytoskeleton—the scaffolding that provides structure and ultimately form and shape to the cell.
Microtubules are active protein polymers critical to the structure and function of cells and the process of cell division. In a living cell their growing ends constantly elongate and retreat in a thrashing frenzy of polymerization and depolymerization, like the writhing snakes of Medusa's hair.

This highlighter is my go-to for contouring my pale Irish skin. I can't use pink/rosy highlighters because I already have pink undertones, so I'm so happy Birchbox sent me a white/pearly highlighter. I use it down the center of my nose, directly above and below my lips, cheekbones, above brows, and center of forehead to contrast with my bronzer contouring and this looks amazing. I always look better in pictures, too, because of its highlighting.
Thanks for this gem, Birchbox!
The pearl finish this highlighter leaves is just the perfect amount! Its not over the top and glittery, instead it has a hint of pearl that catches the light subtly and gives the most amazing highlight to your cheeks, nose, chin! Its definitely perfect for everyday use.. not just for a special night out. This is something that I use daily to freshen up any makeup look!3
I love this product once I learned how to use it appropriately for my face. Ladies be careful with how much product comes out before applying it to your skin! Once you find a good balance it works really well, and it doesn't give an un-natural over-shiny look to your skin. It's just right.5
This product makes me shine and I love it. I ran out and tried a few other options - but they would look clumpy if I wasn't careful to blend it all in really well....that never happened with this and its silkier and smoother.
I just bought another one as I am lost without it. Make you have a healthy glow.
Love it
I love wearing this when I go out. It delivers: you do get a sheer sheen. However, this is definitely not for a day look precisely because you end up with a sheen.
The application is soft and it doesn't run. I usually wear it on top of foundation, and it lasts all night.
