Peruvian Treatment Plant Selects ITT Technology
ITT Corp. is enabling a new wastewater treatment plant in Peru to meet its country's new stringent regulations for the reuse of effluent for agricultural applications.
The plant, located in Peru's Manchay district near Lima, is scheduled to go online during the fourth quarter of 2009. It will employ a modified sequencing batch reactor process and tertiary filtration to produce enough treated effluent to irrigate 1,000 acres of farmland each day.
"Peru has a critical need for biologically treated wastewater because its supply of extracted freshwater is dwindling, and 80% of that is currently being used for agricultural purposes," said Anton Callery, treatment process business development manager for Latin American operations within ITT's Water and Wastewater business. "As a result, the country enacted new regulations in July 2008 for the reuse of wastewater, including effluent that is applied toward animal care and crop cultivation."
In addition to generating the treated wastewater, the plant will produce about 900 kg per day of dried biosolids extracted from the wastewater. These also will have an agricultural application, as they can be used for soil pH stabilization and to add nutrients to the soil.

Japan accused of bribery over whaling rights
- By Brian FungBrian Fung is an editorial researcher at FP.
It's no secret that Japan seeks an end to the longstanding moratorium on commercial whaling passed by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) in 1986. Nor is Japan a stranger to allegations that it's bribed other IWC members to vote for its position. But now, the London Times is carrying what it says is proof that at least six states agreed to vote for Japan's position in exchange for aid:
Japan denies buying the votes of IWC members. However, The Sunday Times filmed officials from pro-whaling governments admitting […] They voted with the whalers because of the large amounts of aid from Japan. One said he was not sure if his country had any whales in its territorial waters. Others are landlocked.
The governments of St Kitts and Nevis, the Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Grenada, Republic of Guinea and Ivory Coast all entered negotiations to sell their votes in return for aid.
The top fisheries official for Guinea said Japan usually gave his minister a "minimum" of $1,000 a day spending money in cash during IWC and other fisheries meetings.
If the Times' report is true, Japan's efforts to overturn the whaling ban may have suffered a major setback. But anti-whaling activists shouldn't rejoice just yet. Debate surrounding the issue has gotten progressively more intense in the last few months as the IWC prepares to consider just what Japan is looking for — a (temporary) suspension of the moratorium, to be voted on later this month in Morocco. The meeting also follows a recent breakdown in relations between Japan and Australia, whose government sued Tokyo on June 1 for repeatedly violating the IWC whaling ban.

Desert Tortoise Adoption Program
Limited to residents of Nevada
Under the authority of the US Fish and Wildlife Service and Nevada Department of Wildlife, Tortoise Group has performed adoptions of the threatened Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) in Nevada for many years. The program ensures that the conditions for a tortoise are safe and offer a healthy environment. The new programs are limited to pet desert tortoises in Nevada.
Important points to know about pet tortoises
- A tortoise must live outdoors.
- A tortoise must have a well-insulated burrow.
- A tortoise must be fed a healthy diet with supplementation.
- A breeding pair of tortoises must be separated.
Things you should know if you want to become a tortoise custodian
- Custodians must be adults and residents of Nevada.
- Caring for a tortoise is a long-term commitment; they can live to be 80-100 years old!
- For NEW adoptions, each household is limited to one adult male tortoise.
- All desert tortoises must be transferred or adopted through the approved federal and state adoption program through Tortoise Group.
Is it legal to possess a desert tortoise since they are protected as a threatened species?
The US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Nevada Department of Wildlife are mandated to protect those tortoises born after the desert tortoise was federally placed on the Endangered Species List on August 4, 1989.
A tortoise is legally held in captivity if:
- The tortoise was acquired before August 4, 1989. Their progeny are also held legally.
- The tortoise was adopted officially through the Tortoise Group Adoption Program approved by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
Traditional Adoption.
Tortoise Group will help you become the custodian of a desert tortoise by advising you in creating a healthy tortoise habitat and placing an unwanted pet in your home.
- Each household adopting a tortoise for the first time is limited to one adult male tortoise.
- There is a consultation and technical assistance site visit charge of $75 for new custodians (An initial site visit charge of $20 for nonmembers and $10 for members will be deducted from the $75 charge).
Terrific! By using our new streamlined online system, you can register the tortoise and be the legal custodian of that tortoise. If you would like Tortoise Group to advise you on preparing or improving your habitat, there is a consulting fee of $10 for members and $20 for nonmembers.

With elections round the corner, politicians across Thane are busy making their election manifestos. Residents, too, are using this time to prepare their agenda and want action to be taken within a certain time frame.
Residents from Vasant Vihar and Lokpuram have been demanding a police chowky, better patrolling and a hawker-free area since long, but to no avail. K kumar, a resident of Shalmali Society, informs, "Incidents of chain and car theft have been seeing an upward trend in our area since a while now. Although the area falls under the jurisdiction of Vartak Nagar Police station, the latter is overloaded with cases as several other big areas come under it. Also with the population that high, it's difficult to man the area with a limited force, so there is an urgent need of police chowky."
Pruthiviraj Kanchi, another resident, informs "The complete stretch, starting from Khewra circle till the Lokpuram society gate, has been occupied by hawkers, making it difficult for us to even walk. We want immediate action against this problem. We will support only the one who assures action within a certain timeframe.
"The sewage drain is not cleaned regularly and is therefore choked most of the time. The overflowing drain serves as the perfect breeding ground for diseases like dengue and malaria. We want regular monitoring and interaction with the authorities regarding issues that come up," says Dr Waman Kale, a resident from Swastik Park."
Dug up roads, scarcity of water, corruption, governance, interaction with authorities, law and order are among the many issues that feature in the list of the residents and the latter want these to be addressed on priority. Residents unanimously demand: "Before arriving at any decision pertaining to to development, a general consensus must be taken as it is our tax money that is involved and officials are answerable to us. Not only this, many a times they lack vision and come up with utopian schemes whose implementation wastes a lot of money and manpower. We demand public consensus be taken into consideration. We demand the same from our representatives."

Diabetes Health Center
Alert: Some Blood Glucose Meters May Be Misread
May 11, 2005 -- LifeScan, a maker of blood glucose meters for people with diabetes, says users of its OneTouch Ultra, InDuo, and OneTouch FastTake Meters may misinterpret their blood glucose results.
In some countries, the FastTake Meter is sold under the EuroFlash, SmartScan, and PocketScan brand names.
All three blood glucose meters let patients select one of two units of measure to display their test results, says LifeScan. The two units of measure are milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), which is used in the U.S., and millimoles per liter (mmol/L), which is used in many other countries.
Source of the Problem
While setting the blood glucose meter's date and time, consumers could accidentally switch the unit of measure and thereby misinterpret their test results, says LifeScan.
"In addition, very rarely, an event such as dropping a meter while in use can cause a brief power loss, which may also unexpectedly change the unit of measure and/or the code number used to program the meter to match a particular vial of test strips," says LifeScan.
"An accidental change in the meter's unit of measure can contribute to people with diabetes misunderstanding their test results and managing their diet or medication in a way that can result in temporary periods of high or low blood sugar," says the company.
What to Do
Users should continue to test their blood glucose, says LifeScan. The company is instructing patients to confirm their blood glucose meter's unit of measure and the code number each time they test.
Letters will be sent to registered users of the blood glucose meters and to health care professionals. Special instructions will also be inserted in each package of test strips, but test strips are not affected, says LifeScan.
Patients with these blood glucose meters are advised to contact LifeScan Inc., to confirm their meter is set to the proper unit of measure. Patients in the U.S. can call LifeScan Customer Service at (800) 515-0915; contact information for other countries is available through the company's web site, says LifeScan.
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

PvP ranking system
Hello all.
I see a lot of talk about PvP and how it needs to be fixed. If it does ever get fixed then I'd like to put my 2 cents in.
I've played a few PvP matches and from those matches but it seemed painfully clear that people who PvP spend a hell of a lot of time perfecting their builds to the point of ultimate alpha strikes and incredible endurance. I'm not saying that that's necessarily how it actually is, I'm basing this on my experience only.
I found it quite off-putting as I don't really want to spend the time it takes to make those master builds, plus I make my builds to be balanced between effectiveness and fun. I know that some of the fun things I do wouldn't cut it in PvP. Based on that I found myself not really wanting to participate any further in PvP.
If PvP is ever revamped PWE may want to encourage newer players by creating a ranking system that groups players of similar rank in to the same matches. That or have a standard lobby and an elite lobby like the STFs. This sort of system would encourage people like myself, people who wouldn't mind the occasional dabble without really getting in to it, to visit the PvP arena.
We have a PVP forum. This is headed there ;-)
Can't really argue against this to be honest, thing is that STO just doesn't have the playerbase to statistically rank its users (at the minute teams are lumped in with solo queuers to save on already-long queue times, where coordination heavily tilts victory odds).
There are only really a couple hundred PVPers, and the vast majority are in OPVP and even know each other. We all know where we stand. A leadrboard would be lovely but other things need to come first to make it viable.
It's a gamble.
As has been pointed out, there really aren't enough players to segregate the queues in that sense. One might say though, that if it was separated like that - there might be more players. But that's a gamble.
Considering the work on the systems/mechanics that would be needed for that - the manner in which they would have to determine who fit in where - it could end up being a lot of work for nothing.
So again, as has been pointed out - there are other things that really need to be addressed as well. Those things, mind you, will not only make PvP more enjoyable for those that do currently participate - they could very well make PvP more inviting for other players. It's not a gamble - it's a fix with a potential bonus.
That potential bonus, could lead to the increased playerbase in PvP - which in turn could lead to the work being done on such a system where it wouldn't be as much of a gamble.
I agree that such a ranking system would be very helpful for improving everyone's PvP experience.
But how would the algorithm rank people? By DPS/HPS? By "activity"? By "matches won"?
Generally speaking you only need to track games won to games lost as far as ranking goes. With a broad enough playerbase and a long enough timeline, you'll have either a net positive or a net negative influence on your teams, resulting in a rating.
I don't agree for a couple of reasons.
1. This is an MMO. Rankings etc imo are too small a vision of what MMO scaled PvP should be. Open Sector PvP would be a better goal.
2. People will queue together w/o a seperate PuG vs Premade queue (which we don't have numbers for) you could have players whose rankings are seperated enough they'd never find a match high or low as the case may be.
3. People smurf (ie through matches so they're ranking stays lower than it should). So, you'd still get wiped.
4. There's no good way currently for Cryptic to account for the various ways to be effective in this game w/o directly repair/damaging something. How would weight if an SNB was wasted or not, for example.
5. People will gravitate toward adopting a play style toward killboard goals rather than whats best for the team. There will also be less room for the "fun" playstyle you want.
6. The game is full of P2W power creep. Yes, some of it such as certain ships/doffs do effect outcomes.
7. It tends to lead to players not being as open about builds/exploits/calls to fix OP etc. There are many how to and build guides in this forum section. People will stop updating them as much since they'd lose an advantage.
8. Focuses too much on individual ego and all the "banter" that goes w/it. I prefer add as few people as I can to my ignore list.
9. Many PvPers stay away from what they feel is too OP for the sake a more fun balanced potential match. Rankings would have the opposite effect.
10. People have access to multiple toons in both factions. It wouldn't be hard to rig a ranking w/private queuing etc.
If you're looking for a more casual PvP experience I'd suggest making a private queue w/other casual PvPers. Also, C&H is the most casual of the PvP maps/zones.
If I were to design a PvP ranking system, it'd go something like this:
1) Ranking will never stop a filled queue from launching a game (but may delay slightly if the pairing will be drastic).
2) Rankings will be kept from the player.
3) Ranking will be used to make matches as even as possible. Good players may be grouped with horrible players to lower the team average.
4) Queuing teams will apply a rank modifier to account for the added co-ordination (for the queued team, not entire team).
5) Points are awarded for winning, with an even number deducted for losing. The amount of points is based on the ranking difference of the teams.
6) Everyone will start at x points, and will not be able to drop below 0 points; additionally, players may not exceed y points.
7) If a player leaves a match, his contribution towards the teams ranking will be scaled to the percentage of the match he was present for.
8) If a player remains out of combat for an extended period of time, his contributions towards the rankings will be adjusted accordingly.
9) No notification that the system has been put in place.
Hopefully this would let newbs fight more newbs, and not experience a pugstomp as often.

"These ended up being much smaller than i thought but maybe i didnt read the description well enough...super cute though!! I bought these as thank you notes for my son to give, i am obsessed with little boys & mustaches so they are a perfect design! :)"

SoLuna did an amazing job catering breakfast tacos for my Annual Pooch Parade Party--official Fiesta Event. They went above and beyond! Thank you Miguel...keep up the good work!
March 22, 2012
Food was okay but by no means did it make up for snotty, rude, waitresses & horrible service across the board. Prices are extreme for small portions. I would have preferred half the price & much better food just down the street at Martha's…

This is the sister restaurant to Mirasol...again great food and great margaritas! Soluna has a more formal vibe than mirasol, but the menu is the same. Definately worth checking out if you're in the area....or make a trip there if you're…
These dishes from the SoLuna menu are contributed by Menuism users directly, as part of a restaurant review, or as part of an image upload.

I'm new to the OKC area, and coming back to cigars after about 15 years. My recent visits to Tobacco Exchange have taught me that the current cigar world is a bit different. I don't recognize very much in the humidor! I've been a pipe guy for those last fifteen years, so I've been in a lot of B&M's in that time, but I rarely went into the humidor. It's a lot of fun going though the re-learning process.
Anyway, just thought I'd drop in here and see if anyone was still around.

NSA leaker Snowden in hiding in Hong Kong
HONG KONG The former CIA employee who suddenly burst into headlines around the globe by revealing himself as the source of top-secret leaks about U.S. surveillance programs has just as quickly gone to ground again.
Two days after Edward Snowden checked out of a Hong Kong hotel where he told the Guardian newspaper that he had "no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong," he was in hiding Wednesday, despite being the central figure in the biggest news story in the world.
But a Hong Kong newspaper, the South China Morning Post, said it was able to locate and interview him at a secret place.
"I am not here to hide from justice. I am here to reveal criminality," it quoted Snowden as saying.
Snowden said he planned to stay in Hong Kong and "fight the United States government in the courts, because I have faith in Hong Kong's rule of law."
Snowden, 29, arrived in Hong Kong from his home in Hawaii on May 20, just after taking leave from his National Security Agency contracting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, which has since fired him.
With little new information to report on Snowden or his whereabouts, many of Hong Kong's notoriously boisterous newspapers, and others around the world, fixated on his American girlfriend, a dancer who posted partially nude photographs on herself online before she also apparently disappeared.
"Spy on the run: girlfriend ill at ease," read one Apple Daily headline above a picture of the 28-year-old Lindsay Mills in a provocative pose taken from her blog, which has since gone offline.
Mills is not believed to be traveling with Snowden.
Apple Daily quoted unidentified sources with the Hong Kong immigration department as saying they had no record of Snowden leaving the territory. A spokesman for the department, speaking on routine condition of anonymity, said it could not confirm the paper's information because it did not comment on individual cases.
Reporter Ewen MacAskill of Britain's the Guardian newspaper, who interviewed Snowden for exclusive stories about his revelations, wrote late Tuesday that "it is thought" Snowden was now in a private home in Hong Kong, but offered no details.
Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald, who also interviewed Snowden in Hong Kong, has given a series of interviews about the case, but refused to reveal any information about Snowden's location or his future plans.
Despite the uncertainty, Hong Kong supporters of Snowden have organized a protest march featuring local human rights activists and prominent pro-democracy politicians to pass in front of the U.S. Consulate on Saturday afternoon.
"We call on Hong Kong to respect international legal standards and procedures relating to the protection of Snowden; we condemn the U.S. government for violating our rights and privacy; and we call on the U.S. not to prosecute Snowden," the organizers said in a news release.
Questions remain about why Snowden chose to go public in Hong Kong, a Chinese autonomous region that maintains a Western-style legal system and freedom of speech, although he said he considered the territory to be relatively free and open. Hong Kong has an extradition agreement with the United States, but there are exceptions in cases of political persecution or where there are concerns over cruel or humiliating treatment.

2013 All-Area Girls swimming team
Co-Swimmers of the Year
Taylor Solorio, sr, Highland
She won Central Section Division II championships in the 200 IM (2:05.41) and 100 butterfly (56.63), both in meet-record times that would have easily won D-I titles. She swam every event at least once during the season and went unbeaten. Signed to swim at San Jose State.
Jorie Caneta, jr, Frontier
For the third straight year, Caneta broke her own section record in the 100 breaststroke, this time lowering it to 1:02.89. She was the only Kern County girl to register an automatic All-American time and was also fourth in the D-I finals in the 100 freestyle (53.26).
All-Area Diver of the Year
Carlee Burks, Centennial
Chandler Bullman, sr, Frontier
Besides Caneta and Solorio, Bullman was the only Kern County swimmer to win a section title, doing it in the 100 butterfly (58.54) for the second straight year. She also won Southwest Yosemite League titles in the 200 IM and 100 fly.
Tatum Collatz, soph, Stockdale
Area's top backstroker was seventh in the D-I section finals (1:03.53). She won the SWYL meet in the event in even faster time (1:02.30) and also qualified for the section meet in the 50 freestyle.
Emily Cruz, sr, Centennial
The SWYL champion in the 200 freestyle took 10th in the section meet in the 100 butterfly (1:03.13) despite a torn muscle in her shoulder. Cruz is a two-time first-team All-Area selection.
Sara Klang, jr, Garces
Klang was second to Solorio in the 100 and 200 freestyle at the Southeast Yosemite League finals, and she won the B Final at the D-I section meet in the 200 free (2:02.36). She also was 13th in the 100 free (56.97).
Symantha Lazerson, fr, Bakersfield Christian
Her 25.44 in the 50 freestyle took third at the D-II section finals and was the fastest postseason sprint time in Kern County. She also was third in D-II in the 100 free (54.94). Both of those were school records, and Lazerson helped the Eagles set school records in all three relays, too.
Audrey Willoughby, jr, Liberty
She collected four silver medals from the SWYL meet (200 medley relay, 200 freestyle, 500 freestyle and 400 freestyle relay) and then won the B Final in the 500 free at the D-I meet (5:29.58) and was 11th in the 200 free (2:04.85).
Lexi Zimmerman, sr, Tehachapi
She was sixth in the section in the 100 breaststroke (1:11.14) and 13th in the 200 IM (2:25.32) after winning the breaststroke title at the SEYL championships.

I am using PyDev for Eclipse as my IDE and pip as my package management tool, running virtualenv.
Every time I want to use/include some new libraries or new dependencies in my project, I add them into the pip-requires file. The dependencies are installed in my virtual environment with no problem after running
pip install -r pip-requires.
My Env:
- Ubuntu 12.04
- PyDev for Eclipse 184.108.40.2062100913
- Python 2.7.3
- Eclipse indigo
Update: My Pydev Setup:
- eclipse/pydev knows nothing about the new libraries being added in my virtual env. I had to manually add the .egg source folder into eclipse project's PYTHONPATH one by one in order to resolve all the unresolved imports which was very annoying! Can the python dependencies be resolved in a easier manner?
- I found that if I use virtual env
Env/bin/pythonas the interpreter as the screenshot indicates, some of the basic modules are not resolved in eclipse, eg.
import copy, import jsonetc. should I use default
/usr/bin/pythonas interpreter and just add virtual env
site-packageto the PYTHONPATH? so that I can resolve both standard python libraries(eg. json) and my own project dependencies?

Don Elder has resigned as chief executive of Solid Energy,
effective immediately, the state-owned coal company said in a
Solid Energy said Elder would remain available to work for
the company to assist with a transition.
Elder said that as the company worked its way out of the
major global market downturn in 2012, including significant
restructuring, the board would consider many future changes.
He believed it was appropriate, and the right time, for the
future direction of the company to be led by a new chief
Chairman Mark Ford said that Solid Energy had grown
substantially under Elder's leadership since 2000.
Garry Diack, Solid Energy's group manager organisational
development and performance, will stand in as chief executive
until an appointment is made.
Elder drew flak last year for drawing a big salary while
Solid Energy went through a large scale restructuring, which
involved the axing of a quarter of its staff.

Only the poor die young
More News from Johan P. Mackenbach
ROTTERDAM—People who are lower on the socioeconomic ladder (indicated by their level of education, occupation, or income) have shorter and less healthy lives, on average, than those on higher rungs. Indeed, life expectancy at birth often varies by 5-10 years, depending on social and economic well-being, with poorer people spending 10-20 more years of life suffering from illness or disability than their wealthier counterparts.
In the 19th century, this situation would not have been surprising, given low average income, widespread poverty, and lack of social security. But such data are commonly reported for high-income countries today, including those ranking high on indices of economic prosperity and human development—even Western Europe's highly developed welfare states.
Since the end of World War II, Western European countries have tried to reduce socioeconomic inequality, or offset its consequences, through progressive taxation, social security programs, and a wide range of collectively financed provisions, such as public housing, education, health care, and cultural and leisure facilities. But, while these policies have reduced inequalities in some social and economic outcomes, including income, housing quality, and health-care access, they have been insufficient to eliminate health inequalities.
Long-term time-series data indicate that the socioeconomic mortality gap narrowed before the 1950s, but has grown substantially since then. More puzzling is the fact that more generous welfare policies do not translate into smaller health disparities. Even the Nordic countries—world leaders when it comes to creating universal and well-designed welfare policies that cover citizens from cradle to grave—face significant health disparities, despite their relatively low income inequality.
To be sure, modern welfare states have far from abolished social inequality, with disparities in access to material and human resources continuing to generate highly unequal lives among their citizens. But the welfare state's aim has never been radical redistribution of wealth. Rather, welfare policies are intended to create a compromise between the interests of employees and employers, laborers and the middle classes. As a result, their redistributive effects are modest.
So, while a partial failure of the welfare state may help to explain the persistence of health inequalities, one must look elsewhere to understand—and reverse—their rise. Two possible explanations have emerged from the rapidly growing scientific literature on the subject: selective upward social mobility and delayed diffusion of behavioral change. In reality, both factors are at work.
During the 20th century, social mobility increased slowly but steadily in all high-income countries, with educational achievement and occupational status depending less on family background and more on cognitive ability and other personal characteristics. As a result, the lower socioeconomic groups have not only shrunk in size, but have probably also become more homogeneous in terms of personal characteristics that increase the risk of health problems.
Moreover, people with a higher socioeconomic position tend to adopt new behaviors first, and to abandon more readily behaviors that are found to damage health, such as smoking and high-fat diets. Given this, new behavioral recommendations by health authorities tend to exacerbate health inequalities, at least temporarily.
Significant disparities in smoking, physical exercise, diet, and alcohol consumption afflict many of Western Europe's welfare states. The welfare system, which was created to combat poverty, has been less effective against "diseases of affluence" like heart disease and lung cancer.
All of this highlights the need for creative solutions to disparities that unnecessarily and unfairly blight the lives of those who have the least, generate massive health-care costs, and pose a barrier to increased labor-force participation (impeding efforts in some countries to raise the retirement age).
In the last few decades, social policy in most Western European countries has moved away from redistribution. This is a mistake, given that the consequences of this shift—rising income inequality, weaker social safety nets, and reduced health-care access—will aggravate health inequalities in the long run.
In fact, more, better-targeted redistributive policies, which account for the effects of selective upward social mobility and different rates of diffusion of behavioral change, are crucial to improving health outcomes in lower socioeconomic groups.
Income support should be complemented by preventive health programs, while health literacy programs could help to diminish the link between low cognitive ability and bad health.
Equal access to health care is not enough. Reducing inequalities in health outcomes requires more intensive health care for patients in lower socioeconomic brackets, tailored to their specific needs and challenges. For example, revenues from tobacco taxation, which disproportionately affects lower-income groups, should be used to fund cessation-support programs that target disadvantaged smokers.
Significant and persistent health inequality indicates that, by raising the health levels of those with lower incomes or less education, massive strides could be made in improving populations' overall health. This may require reshaping the welfare system to some extent, but the payoff would be well worth the effort.

QPR goalkeeper Julio Cesar wasn't surprised by the sacking of Mark Hughes.
Cesar accepts that Hughes could never survive such a terrible start to the season.
He told The Sun: "It was not a big surprise that Mark Hughes got sacked, it was normal.
"If you go 13 games without a win it's very difficult for a coach to stay. Other teams might sack their coach when they go six games without winning — but he stayed for 13."
Cesar says Hughes always gave off an air of calm authority, assuredly in control and very confident of getting the team moving up the table.
And the players were convinced he would succeed.
The stopper added: "Hughes never showed that he was under pressure in training or in the dressing room. He put belief in us every time we went out there and we believed in him.
"He was a good coach with good ideas. But what happened to him has happened to many coaches throughout the world.
"Even Pep Guardiola when he was first in charge of Barcelona, had problems with the fans."

UK regional carrier Flybe has become the majority shareholder of Finnair's ATR turboprop support subsidiary, Finnish Aircraft Maintenance (FAM). The announcement follows a court injunction cutting short this week's strike at Finnair Technical Services, the mainline's engineering division.
Flybe already owned 46.3% of FAM having acquired the stake from former shareholder Finncomm in July 2011. But the UK airline has now bought an additional 6.3% stake from Finnair as well as acquiring 7.4% previously held by minority shareholders, bringing its total ownership to 60%.
Finnair holds the remaining 40% under an ownership structure which reflects the same ratio as at Flybe Nordic, the regional airline venture jointly set up by the two companies.
Flybe says it paid £295,000 ($455,000) for the additional 13.7% shareholding. This would represent around £1,055,000 in gross assets, according to FAM's total £7.7 million evaluation at the end of 2010, the airline adds.
Helsinki-based FAM specialises in ATR turboprop maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), and primarily supports FlybeNordic aircraft. Flybe says that the re-organisation should not have a "significant impact on reported profits" for the financial year to 31 March 2013.
Meanwhile, the strike by Finnair maintenance personnel earlier this week was cut short after a court injunction, prompting the Pro trade union to warn that its members could walk out again on other grounds.
Around 1,000 Finnair Technical Services staff members went on strike on 5 June, opposing the airline's plans to close its engine and component repair shops and outsource the work to Zurich-based maintenance provider SR Technics. The industrial action was planned to last for a week.
On 6 June, however, the Helsinki district court implemented a court injunction against the strike. All employees have returned to their workplaces after most of them had turned up yesterday, and there are no more disruptions at the parent airline today, according to Finnair.
Antti Rinne, president of the private sector trade union Pro, tells Flightglobal that the association is negotiating with Finnair about compensation levels for the employees, who will be made redundant by the airline's decision to withdraw from engine and component MRO.
Finnair already decided last year to close down its airframe maintenance business, saying it wanted to focus on in-house line maintenance operations.
Rinne says that the union hopes further industrial action will not be necessary, but he adds that workers could strike again on other grounds in spite of the court injunction.
Finnair stated earlier this week that it is negotiating with a potential buyer for "part of its engine operations" in a move that would secure a number of jobs at the division.

PALEA files new bid to reverse ruling on PAL outsourcing scheme
More News from Tetch Torres-Tupas
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—The Philippine Airlines Employees Association (PALEA) is asking the Court of Appeals to reverse its ruling which affirmed Malacanang's decision approving the plan of the Philippine Airlines (PAL) to cut 2,600 jobs in 2011.
In a 17-page motion for reconsideration filed Tuesday, PALEA told the appeals court that PAL's outsourcing scheme was not done in good faith.
PALEA stressed that the outsourcing scheme was done during the negotiation period for a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA).
It said the CBA prohibits contracting out of services performed by regular employees and that this prohibition is absolute.
"PAL bound itself not to contract out existing and future positions, jobs, divisions and departments presently occupied by present or future regular employees within the collective bargaining unit," the motion stated, adding that under the CBA, temporary contracting arrangements will be restored to normalcy after need for it has ceased.
They added that the Office of the President and the Secretary of Labor's decision to affirm PAL's outsourcing "would result in disastrous situation where PAL would dismiss workers due to outsourcing, instead of adopting less serious measures."
PAL's spin-off/outsourcing program was first recognized as legal and valid by acting Labor Secretary Romeo Lagman on June 15, 2010, and was affirmed by Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz on Oct. 29, 2010. Baldoz' ruling was affirmed by the Office of the President prompting PALEA to file an appeal with the Court of Appeals.
The appeals court said the permanent outsourcing of non-core operations of PAL is part of the company's exercise of its right to reorganize its business structure "to enable it to thrive and grow in highly competitive airline industry."
But PALEA, in its appeal, said PAL failed to produce proof that its business is suffering thus, the need to outsource and cut jobs.
Based on the financial statements of PAL, it incurred a comprehensive loss of US$297.8 million for fiscal year 2009 and US$14.3 million for 2010.
"In a number of cases, the Supreme Court clarified that it is not enough that only the financial statements for the year during which the retrenchment was effected are presented by the employer. It must also be shown that the employer expected no abatement of such losses in the coming years, and that the condition of the company is not likely to improve in the near future," PALEA said.

According to the Federal Trade Commission, millions of people are victimized by identify theft in the United States each year. Service members may be especially vulnerable because of their frequent moves and deployments. Though the law does not hold victims responsible for debts incurred by identity thieves, victims are responsible for restoring their credit records, a process that can be time-consuming and expensive.Many insurance companies offer policies to help cover the expenses victims often incur in the process of recovering from identity theft. In this article, you'll find information about identity theft and identity theft insurance.
The Federal Trade Commission recommends a three-pronged approach to protect yourself against identity theft:
Identity theft insurance policies are designed to cover out-of-pocket expenses related to restoring credit after identity theft. Policies may provide coverage for:
Identity theft insurance typically doesn't cover fraudulent credit card charges. Victims are responsible for settling these charges with their credit card companies and credit reporting bureaus.
Though every policy is different, most companies that offer identity theft insurance through homeowner's or renter's insurance policies charge $25 to $75 a year for $15,000 to $25,000 of coverage. Some policies also have deductibles, which can increase overall cost. Companies that offer identity theft insurance as a standalone product may charge more, up to $200 a year.
It's important to remember that identity theft insurance doesn't protect you from identity theft. An insurance policy can provide financial support and help recover your identity if you do become a victim, which, to many people, makes the policy seem worth the cost. Keep in mind, however, that law enforcement agencies investigating identity theft may refuse to deal with anyone other than the victim. Identity theft insurance may be a good idea for people on a fixed income or who work for an hourly wage. They are the least able to sustain a loss of income for even a short period of time, and many insurance policies provide coverage for lost wages as a result of time taken off from work to deal with the aftermath of identity theft. However, these people are the least likely to become identity theft victims. People at high risk, including those who frequently travel internationally, earn more than $150,000 a year, keep high balances in a savings or checking account, or don't monitor their credit card statements and credit reports regularly, may also benefit from identity theft insurance.You can find excellent, free advice about identity theft through the Federal Trade Commission and the Identity Theft Resource Center.
Identity theft insurance is primarily offered in three ways:
As you begin to compare policies, pay attention to the following:
It's important to be aware of online risks and know how to avoid situations that make you vulnerable to identity theft.

Texans head coach Bill O'Brien recently compared Arian Foster to Kevin Faulk and Danny Woodhead in his ability to catch passes. O'Brien coached those two players while he was with the Patriots. O'Brien said "it looks like definitely Arian will be able to do that and more.
"What the most important thing to do is to make sure that you look at the player's skill set and figure out how they fit your system, or our system," O'Brien said, "and so what we do is when we have a back that is a three-down back as Arian is, a guy that can play on first, second and third down, then you're finding ways to incorporate him into the passing game and the running game and it really works out well for your offense."
Fantasy Analysis:
That Foster will be used often in the passing game isn't a revelation by any means; he averaged 53 catches per year during those three "healthy" seasons. And I certainly don't blame O'Brien for thinking this way; the Texans aren't flush with outstanding, proven receivers, and their No. 1 stud, Andre Johnson @johnson80, is an unhappy 32-year-old. It's just another hint that Foster might flirt with 400 touches again. You need to feel comfortable with assuming the significant injury risk that he brings if you are going to draft Foster in the first round or two, but it's difficult to put into words how productive he could be if he plays a full schedule.

Shelby Miller debuts for the Cardinals
Sep 6, 2012, 9:42 AM EDT
The Cardinals lost, but Cardinals fans got to see some of the future in yesterday's game against the Mets. That future is Shelby Miller, the team's top pitching prospect who made his major league debut in relief.
Miller tossed two scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out four. Not bad. Not bad at all.
Miller will be a bullpen arm for Mike Matheny down the stretch, but with his early season struggles in the past and his obvious talent on display yesterday, it won't be long before he's a rotation fixture for the Cards.
- stlouis1baseball - Sep 6, 2012 at 10:15 AM
Wonderful debut for sure. Let's hope he continues to show progress.
- okwhitefalcon - Sep 6, 2012 at 12:43 PM
He looked sharp.
Didn't walk anyone and didn't get rattled after he gave up a hit in his second inning.
A really impressive debut.
- stex52 - Sep 6, 2012 at 5:24 PM
To paraphrase an old expression from the '70's counterculture (I'm sure most of you will recognize).
Pitching will get you through times of no hitting better than hitting will get you through times of no pitching.
- stex52 - Sep 6, 2012 at 1:24 PM
Finally something to make my Roy Oswalt arguments from the spring look lame. Been a tough summer for their pitching. I bet they are glad to see this. Hang in there for a spot, Cards.
- saints97 - Sep 6, 2012 at 1:37 PM
You don't think that Roy Oswalt makes your Roy Oswalt arguments from the spring look lame?
- stex52 - Sep 6, 2012 at 1:49 PM
- stex52 - Sep 6, 2012 at 1:51 PM
By the way, I didn't mispell. That is "touche" as in "you got me." Not "douche." On this website I thought I had better make that clear.
- saints97 - Sep 6, 2012 at 2:07 PM
Haha, I got it.
I have been pleased with the starting pitching this year. It has hit its rough patches, but they seem to pull through. The bullpen has had its horrifying moments, but most teams have that issue. But the future does look bright on the pitching front. Miller gets (and deserves) the fanfare, but Rosenthal has an electric arm in his own right, and hopefully Matheny will start trusting him soon.
Even though Jenkins has disappointed, I am bullish on the Cardinals arms in the system. The kid from A&M, Wacha, looked excellent in his limited pro innings this year. He could move quickly through the system next year.
- paperlions - Sep 6, 2012 at 3:32 PM
I don't think Jenkins has disappointed. He was very raw and very young (whereas Miller was young and relatively polished)…I guess the biggest disappointment has been his inability to stay on the field. It was expected that Jenkins would take longer to develop, but he is coming along just fine. In addition, to Miller, Martinez, Rosenthal, Jenkins, and Wacha…they have some other interesting arms in Maness and Swaggerty (who has missed all year). There is a lot of depth in the arms….not nearly as much in the bats.
- saints97 - Sep 6, 2012 at 7:58 PM
Paper, we must be reading different scouting reports. I have seen nothing to indicate that Jenkins has progressed at all this year. In fact, one scout thought he'd regressed.
- okwhitefalcon - Sep 6, 2012 at 8:29 PM
I've seen conflicting reports on Jenkins, I think some of the scouts (anyone with a subsciption to MiLBTV these days) expected a fast(er) progression. Not sure why, he's just a kid with alot of raw ability that's gonna take time to refine.
Maness is interesting, some of the HPGF (hyperventilating prospect geek fraternity) think he's the second coming of Greg Maddux while others see him as the second coming of Brad Thompson.
Swaggerty's coming off Tommy John next year, maybe a couple years away if things go well for him.
