Obama TV liaison to leave W.H.
Dag Vega, the man in charge of President Barack Obama and senior administration officials' appearances on television, is leaving the White House, our colleague Mike Allen reports.
Vega, who has been with the administration since its first days in the White House, will leave for a job in the private sector on July 25.
"Around the White House, 'Dag' is a name [and] a job ('Who is the Republican "Dag"?')," White House Communication Director Jennifer Palmieri told Allen. "... Dag conceives of the interview, negotiates the terms, books it, preps the president, staffs the president, haggles over the excerpts, and then takes the incoming from the nets and talent who didn't get the interview."

K&N? Fram? Mopar?
What's the best oil filter you can put on a 6.1 Hemi and where can you get them?
Just had my first oil change and the dealer put on a Fram filter because they were out of everything else
It is really hard to make recommendations without any research so I will only show some links to some interesting articles on the internet.
I tend to use K&N and Mobil 1 filters based on the recommendations from these articles and some other that I have read. But I can not say if these articles are true or not.
Twin Scoop Hood - functional Ram Air (with AiRaid CAI)
Mopar Perf Exhaust (CORSA)
LED Tails (FactorOne)
Centric PosiQuiet Brake Pads
Best filter on the market.

X2 for Amsoil's Ea Oil Filters. I highly recommend them!!
AMSOIL EaO Filters are guaranteed for 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, when used in conjunction with AMSOIL synthetic motor oil in normal service.
EaO Filters provide a filtering efficiency in accordance with industry standard ISO 4548-12 of 98.7 percent at 15 microns, while competitive filters containing conventional cellulose medias range from 40 to 80 percent efficiency.

Be careful when picking some of the oil filters recommended here. Your Challenger (all '08-up Hemi's) uses a metric thread filter and most of the ones recommended here will not fit.
I use an M1-210 (Mobil-1) or Mopar filter in my '08 SRT. I'll stick with those until the warranty is up, I figure they can't fault me for using either a Mopar filter or one by the same manufacturer as the recommended oil.
I am with BBH and Spali32 on the amsoil filters. I only run them to 6k when I do my Oil Drops with M1 5w-20 or 0w-40 ( I have MDS off )
X3 on the Amsoil filters. The only problem is that they don't make one for 08 and newer LX/LY cars
Havn't done an oil change yet, but was looking at the local Shucks (or however it is spelt) and the guy there reccomended either the Mobil 1, or the K&N (part number 2010)
Prices here were 11.99 for the K&N and 12.99 for the Mobil 1

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) April 12, 2014
In China, soft drinks refer to natural or synthetic beverages with less than 0.5% of alcohol content, which may result from fermentation of sugars in an unsterile environment and the preparation of the flavoring extracts such as vanilla extract.
The demand for soft drinks kept growing as Chinese people's consumption level increased in the last 30 years. There are a wide range of products and many powerful competitors in the market.
In 2013, the total production volume of soft drinks was 149.268 million tons (up by 14.61% YOY), approximately 10 times of that in 2000. The CAGR of the total production volume was 19.4% in 20002013, far ahead of GDP over the same period.
Varieties of soft drinks increase as the production volume goes up.
In China, most soft drinks are consumed by households and catering market. Similarities and differences of the two segmented markets will be analyzed in detail in the CRI report.
Purchase a copy of this report at http://www.chinamarketresearchreports.com/contacts/purchase.php?name=114776.
The soft drink market in China mainly consists of carbonated drinks, fruit&vegetable juice, bottled water, tea drinks, protein drinks and other drinks, while bottled water and carbonated drinks occupy most of the market. However, the competition pattern has undergone massive changes recently. Growing concern about health leads to increase in demand for healthy tea drinks, protein drinks and fruit&vegetable juice and decrease in that for carbonated drinks.
As a rising star in the market, functional drinks are sports drinks represented by Mizone and Gatorade, energy drinks such as Red Bull and Lipovitan, and herbal drinks like Wong Lo Kat and JDB.
In China, the consumption per capita of soft drinks, especially in rural areas, is lower than that in developed countries. Perfect competition in the emerging industry attracts a large amount of international soft drink giants. The competition transfers from products to the industry chain while the marketing mode of brand operation is gradually replaced by channel management, making the channels major targets for soft drink manufacturers.
In the coming years, the growth rate of the production volume of soft drinks is expected to remain above 10%, higher than that of GDP.

AT&T's CEO Randall Stephenson told investors yesterday that with smartphone penetration approaching 90 percent, the existing business model – where carriers sell highly-subsidized smartphones to drive demand – will have to change.
When you're growing the business initially, you have to do aggressive device subsidies to get people on the network. But as you approach 90 percent penetration, you move into maintenance mode. That means more device upgrades. And the model has to change. You can't afford to subsidize devices like that.
Many U.S. iPhone buyers don't realise the true cost of their handsets, as carrier subsidies mean they typically pay no more than $200. The full retail cost of those handsets, however, ranges from $549 for a 16GB iPhone 5c to $849 for a 64GB iPhone 5s. The balance is paid by the carrier, then clawed back through the contract payments …
Carrier business models are changing, with T-Mobile the first to separate monthly fees for device and phone service with its Uncarrier program back in March. AT&T seems to be thinking along similar lines, with CNET reporting that the company saw the future in financing, rather than subsidizing, devices.
Stephenson also acknowledged that breaking customers of their habit of upgrading to a new phone every 18 months to two years is not an easy task. But he said a business models focused on financing rather than providing a subsidy would be "transformative" for the industry. He said the company's new AT&T Next program, which offers no-money down and 0-percent financing, drives smartphone penetration in a way that is more sustainable over time.
It's not all bad news for consumers, however. In the UK, where subsidies are much more visible, all carriers offer the option to pay full price for the phone in order to get much cheaper monthly service fees. As an example, I bought my iPhone outright at full retail, and as a result pay just £15 ($24) a month for unlimited voice calls, texts and data. Upgrading every other cycle means I typically save $3-400 over the course of two years.

31 Responses to "Get your subsidized iPhones while you can – AT&T says the deals can't last"
You pay $30-35 more on a plan for a subsidized iPhone for three years in Canada. That is not subsidized that
s a high interest laon.
You mean 30 dollars more a month? So the phone costs 1100 bucks? +200 initially, so 1300 for an iPhone? In the U.S. they charge us 200 for the phone, plus 8 percent tax, plus 50 dollars in fees and shit, so about almost 300 dollars. Unless you're on a family plan, or work for a company that gives you 10% off your bill, phone bills for the 2 year contract run around 100 bucks a month. How does that compare with Canada's plans?
As a Canadian consumer I can answer. I chose to purchase my phone outright, saving me between $500-$570 over a three year period. The subsidized plans were about $75 dollars a month, for 500 minutes, Unlimited texting and 1gbs of data. I bought my phone on a 'financed' system, known as the Koodo Tab, they take $150 dollars off the price of your phone, and then apply a monthly credit to the debt each month – they credit is 10% of your bill – but it is not an additional fee. So if your plan, like mine, was: $56 Unlimited Talk, Unlimited Text and 2gbs Data – then $5.60 is subtracted from the outstanding balance on the Tab. If you choose to pay in full without the Tab, then the plan is the same price and that 10% becomes free money that you can use to buy merchandise – but not pay for your plan. Yes, $30 a month more is the average for Canada. (My difference was $20/month but the two plans were not quite equal)
I'm already done with contracts. I consider the difference in paying the full price of the phone to be the price of freedom. The value of U.S. cellular service from major carriers is relatively quite poor IMO (your mention of what you pay in the UK is a prime example of that), and I want the ability to adjust or switch my service and phone if I'm not satisfied with the current value.
I can't understand why they keep saying they are subsidizing the phones… I've worked on the mobile industry for a long time, and you can be sure this have never been the case.
When you commit to a two year contract, the amount you pay monthly is not only paying for the services you get. It is paying for the phone itself.
Not only that. In less than two years they will have recovered the amount they implicitly financed but you will continue paying the same amount for your monthly bill. So the earnings for customers that stay on contract after the two years are massive.
Before Apple came into the bussiness it was even worse. The MSRP for some handsets was the same as it is today, around $600, but in reality those handsets were manufactured for around half that amount (I'm looking at you Motorola). And the handsets were sold to them at very discounted prices when compared with the MSRP. When they gave you a $600 set for $200 they were actually only financing $150 or so, instead of $400.
Now the game changed, and of course they are earning less, but still they don't give you anything. They think the consumer is stupid and will eat everything they say. But times are changing. Let's see how this turns out for them if they go that route….
The second that AT&T eliminates subsidized phones, they will also have to eliminate the 2 year contract. ( They will just invent a new reason for contracts – cheaper monthly service ).
This will cause 2 things to happen – 1) a drastic price reduction from the manufacturer to stay competitive and continue selling high unit counts. 2) the people who can only afford the $199 "subsidized" price will end up switching to whichever device falls into the $199 and under catagory.
The minute that AT&T makes this change, I will be switching to Virgin Wireless. We would save $50 a month on our monthly family package which would pay for plenty of phone upgrades along the way and no 2 year contract!!!!
The problem is….. they WON't reduce their rates. It will just be the same expensive rate but with a new added cost to consumers. Just becuase you get your phone off of contract here in the states doesn't mean they give you cheaper rates on calls/data/texts. You still pay the same, sans the 2-year contract. So there is ZERO incentive (other than to not be on contract) to pay full retail price.
Well isn't this the genius behind the hold "Next Plan", and such that these companies are offering now?
I get to pay you a monthly fee for my phone ~$30(or so), in 12 months I can give you that phone back, and upgrade to a new phone. Or I can pay till 20 months and own it. (which you get to sell my "refurb" phone to someone else after I trade in)
Meanwhile you have not reduced my monthly phone charge which has a built-in payment for the phone that you subsidised for me. So I am now paying ~$50 per month in phone payments alone, before you have added my service, and data fees back into everything. Now with your Next plan you could have bought a couple of new phones.
Don't we all feel sorry for the guys making 7-digit incomes now? Then again we are just stupid sheep that need to be herded.
Yeah but it's not going to be "Much" cheaper. It's going to be 10-15$ cheaper, and we'll still have insane costs for slow, pokey spotty coverage from all the major carriers.
Since you are paying for the subsidy yourself over a 2 year contract, obviously the subsidy can continue. Otherwise, customers will switch to the carrier who continues the subsidy. Verizon anyone?
I think we have the right to expect unlocked smartphones if we have to pay the full price, whether all at once or in installments. I'd probably select my carrier based on which ones sold unlocked iPhones, or would buy an unlocked iPhone from Apple. Listen up, AT&T!
I think this is a VERY reasonable expectation. You'll just have to choose CDMA or GSM
In the UK me, and the closest people I know normally buy the phone outright then have a sim only plan. For example when the iPhone 4s came out I paid £499 (~$818.61) and then £12 (~$19.69) a month thereafter.

Ari Folman looks into a future past "Bashir"Posted by Yair Raveh at 1:08 pm
Over on my Hebrew blog I asked four of the leading Israeli directors of 2008 to tell me what's next for them in 2009. One of the was Ari Folman, whose "Waltz With Bashir" won Best Picture by The National Society of Film Critics and is the favorite to win the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film tonight. Folman has previously disclosed his intention on diving back into animation and named the adaptation of Stanislaw Lem's 1971 novel The Futurological Congress as his next project. But now he reveals more on how that project will look:
Folman writes, exclusively for "Cinemascope": "As a Science Fiction nut I knew, even as a kid, that Stanislaw Lem is the greatest. The Futurological Congress was always a novel I wanted to make into a movie but never knew how. Now that I was sucked into the world of animation I feel the time is right".
Lem's novel, as condensed by Wikipedia, begins when the hero, Ijon Tichy attends a Futurological Congress when "a riot breaks out and the hero, Ijon Tichy, is hit by various psychoactive drugs, which are being used as weapons by both the government and rebels. Ijon and a few others escape to the safety of a sewer beneath the Hilton where the congress was being held, and in the sewer he goes through a series of hallucinations and false awakenings which cause him to be confused about whether or not what's happening around him is real. Finally, he believes that he falls asleep and wakes up 150 years later. The main part of the book follows Ijon's adventures in the future world — a world where everyone takes hallucinogenic drugs, and hallucinations have replaced reality."
So how will that translate into film? Folman elaborates:
"We'll take elements from 'Bashir', mainly in how the story is structured, but instead of traveling backwards with the characters, this time we will travel forward, jumping into the future. The present will be shot in live-action, the future will be animated. The main character will be played by AN ACTRESS PLAYING HERSELF. The film is a coproduction between Israel, Poland and France. England may join in as well. The animation will be done by the studio we set up for 'Bashir', with Yoni Goodman as the director of animation, David Polonsky as the art-director and Yael Nachlieli as producer. The team will start works soon, and the preliminary development will start in March".
In tonight's Golden Globe Folman in nominated for "Waltz With Bashir", but HBO's "In Treatment" is based on a Israeli show that was co-scripted by him. In addition, this week back home sees the premiere of the third season of "Affair of the Week", an Israeli TV drama series that Folman is its head writer. And "Bashir"'s Israeli DVD launch as well.
Even if Philippe Claudel's "I've Loved You For So Long" steals the Golden Globe from Folman, "Bashir" is currently - as I see it - the front runner to win the Foreign Language Oscar, thus becoming the first Israeli movie to win an Academy Award. "Bashir" will be the second Israeli film in a row to be nominated for an Oscar after a 24 year dry spell. Interestingly, both last year's "Beaufort" and this year's "Bashir" deal with the trauma of the first Lebanon war. A trauma made relevant with the current fighting between the Israeli army and Hamas in Gaza, a conflict that if not resolved soon could be the basis of "Waltz With Bashir 2″ in 20 years.

PRAGUE: Relations between Palestinians and the Czech Republic took a nosedive Friday after residents voiced concerns over the discovery of illegal weapons found at the Palestinian embassy complex where a booby-trapped safe killed the ambassador.
The mayor of the Suchdol district, where the Palestinian embassy complex is based, said he would lodge complaints with Czech authorities.
"We have lost trust in the diplomats," Mayor Petr Hejl told The Associated Press Friday after receiving complaints from neighbors. "We feel deceived by them."
Ambassador Jamal al-Jamal, 56, died Wednesday after an embassy safe exploded. The career diplomat had only started his posting in October.
Police said they found unspecified illegal weapons in the new complex, which includes the embassy and the ambassador's residence where the safe exploded.
Police spokeswoman Andrea Zoulova said Friday it was not yet clear why the Palestinians had the weapons there. She would not say how many weapons were found or how old they were.
The Foreign Ministry said Friday it was seeking an explanation from the Palestinians.
Telephone messages and emails to the Palestinian Embassy spokesman in Prague were not immediately returned Friday, which is holy day for Muslims.
The Czech Republic was one of the few countries that voted against the recognition of a Palestinian state in the United Nations last year and is an ally of Israel in the European Union.
Still, the Czechs tolerate the diplomatic status of the Palestinian representation that goes back to the Cold War when the Soviet bloc, including communist Czechoslovakia, had warm ties with the Palestinian Liberation Organization.
Jakub Zahora of Prague's Association for International Affairs said the incident could harm the Czech relations with the Palestinians and dig up old skeletons.
The two main questions in the investigation are: why were there unregistered weapons at the embassy and what caused the safe to explode?
Palestinian officials have said the safe had been inside the offices of the PLO when it had a presence in Prague more than 20 years ago.
"It might lead to the expulsion of the ambassador's successor and even to the closure of the mission here," Zahora said. "The question remains how this incident will be used by Israel."

Jon Burack, on John Podhoretz:
Condemnation of Holocaust Denial has become the anti-Semite's favorite dodge. Really, what is Holocaust Denial at this point in time other than a sign of ignorant insanity? But if you can get people to think that Holocaust Denial is the essence of contemporary anti-Semitism, any other attack on the Jew can be sold as nuance and dialogue. The key dangers to Jews in the world now are not from Holocaust Deniers, unless their psychosis is part of their anti-Zionist agendas. "When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You are talking anti-Semitism." -The Rev. Martin Luther King, 1968

Jean-Luc Godard 1986
France/Switzerland | French with English subtitles | 91 minutes
Godard took a TF1 commission to create a TV movie for the "Série Noire" series based on James Hadley Chase's 1964 novel The Soft Centre, and turned in this funny, melancholy video piece about a director (Jean-Pierre Léaud) and a producer (comic filmmaker Jean-Pierre Mocky) who are trying to make a movie out of the Chase novel (sort of) in the old style: on the run, with a low budget, and with an eye on sublimity.
Series: Jean-Luc Godard – The Spirit of the Forms
Venue: Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center

On a Tuesday night in early June I welcomed twelve women into my home to read, study the Word and fellowship. It was a beautiful night. We laughed and cried and my heart felt like it might explode right there. It was a far cry from the defeat I'd been feeling just a few months earlier as I sat in the pew on a Sunday morning.
I'm the introverted type. My list of friends is short but deep and, even though I'm 30something now, I still struggle with insecurity about that. I have the most lovely and wonderful friends. Sometimes I forget to remember that. I have a little hamster wheel in my brain just for friendship insecurities: I don't have enough; I'm not good at them; I try too hard; I don't have a group.
I'm sharing the rest of this story over at Blue-Eyed Bride. Erin and I live in the same city and I've been so blessed to get to know her over the past year. She's lined up some guest posters that she knows live in person (which I love) and I'm honored to be one of them.

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Servicing Stop
Okay. So if you followed our recommendation on Friday, you might be thinking about buying a car online. You'll be able to insure it online, tax it online and buy all sorts of lovely accessories for it online. The next logical step is to get your car serviced online, isn't it?
Not as daft as it sounds, thanks to www.servicingstop.co.uk.
You simply book your car or van in for a service and they do the rest. They pick up the vehicle, take it away for some TLC and bring it back. No more hanging around oil-stained garages trying not to ogle the topless calendar any more (unless you like that kind of thing, of course).
They use a network of over 750 garages all over the UK, and the servicing is not only cheaper than a main dealer, it doesn't affect your manufacturer's warranty either.
If you have a website that you want to tell us about email us via the feedback form.

Heh, this ends up being quite a large open ended question. First of all I'd
recommend taking notes so that that week (which is mostly learning) would
likely be an hour or two if rebuilt from notes. Somewhere else reliable I'd
keep track of what packages you installed, and maybe a copy of the config
files you edited. Maybe you or a friend has a subversion/cvs repository or
even just a remote disk that would survive a local failure. You could keep
those notes on your system then just rsync that directory remotely as needed.
In general I consider norton ghost and related image based software rather
primitive. Any mentions of unicasting or multicasting mostly marketing from
folks that haven't figured out that bit-torrent works.
BTW, I recommend installing everything from the CD/DVD on a single partition.
/boot isn't justified unless you have very old hardware. /home is nice to
have on a different partition so if you decide to reinstall, switch
distributions, or have some kind of problem you can preserve /home. Then
everything you install (without apt-get/aptitude/synaptic) put in /opt (like
matlab), again so that it survives a reinstall. Then future backups can
handle each partition as needed, /opt and / typically get changed relatively
rarely compared to /home. I don't usually backup things like matlab since by
the time the disk dies I usually want a newer version anyways. The license
file on the other hand is quite valuable and I try to keep at least 2 copies
around and at least one remote.
I find this quite useful because eventually you are likely to want to install
a second box, or maybe reinstall from scratch after a hardware failure, maybe
once the next version of debian comes out (not that upgrades don't work), or
maybe switch to ubuntu or fedora.
If you really want an image you can image a disk to another disk (as big or
larger) with:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
That will copy partition tables, the contents, swap, everything. It's
unlikely that you want that since the drives are not likely to be the same
size, and if the 2nd is bigger you just end up wasting the space. So you
could do instead:
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/mnt/my_external_disk/lenny_image_apr-08-2009.img
Assuming of course /dev/sda1 is your / and not your swap or boot partitions.
At that point with a recovery CD (many installed cd/dvds have a recovery
option). If not try knoppix it's relatively common. To reinstall the image
just mount the external drive and then:
dd if=/mnt/my_external_disk/lenny_image_apr-08-2009.img of=/dev/sda1
This assumes of course you have the same partition size, and fdisk -l might
not be a bad thing to add to your notes or subversion repository. You will
have to reinstall grub/bootloader if you only restore /dev/sda1 onto a new disk.
To be more space efficient you could compress the image:
dd if=/dev/sda1 | bzip2 > /mnt/my_external_disk/lenny_apr-08-2009.img.bz2
This will tend to be slower depending on how fast your CPU and external disk are.
But it's still not going to be very flexible. There are various backup
programs around, but many aren't worth it if you have a single machine. I'd
take a look at tar or rsync if you want to make a backup that is file based
instead of block. This allows you to restore to different size partitions as
well as do partial restores. This is particularly nice if you just want to
poke around /etc so you can enable similar functionality on a new machine.
Rsync is particularly nice in that if you change 1% of a filesystem that the
next rsync will only copy 1% of the disk.
One of the other big advantages of a file instead of block based backup system
is that you can then write deltas. So you do a level-0 of /dev/sda1 that
copies every file to the external drive. Then with tar, rsync, or dump you
can ask for every file that has changed. So while the first image might be
4GB, the delta after 2 weeks might just be 250MB.
Once you start having more important files on your server I'd strongly suggest
backing up your files offsite. After all theft, flood, electrical surges,
leaks, folks waiting for an xhost +, etc might blow away your server and the
external disk. If you don't have servers/desktops elsewhere (a friend or
family might be willing to accept a disk from you and host it on their
network) you could use amazon or other related services. Amazon charges $0.15
or so per GB per month. It takes a rather long time to type in a GB,
especially if it's compressed... various tools will let you backup only the
I'd poke around google with search terms like linux backup, rsync, rdiff,
rdiff-backup, duplicity, and see what looks like a good fit.
Good luck, you look like you are well along the right path already. Many
folks don't realize they need backups until it's too late.

Thirty percent of housing units in new Federal Housing Authority housing estates are now to be reserved for low income earners, Managing Director of the authority, Arc Terver Gemade, said in Abuja. Speaking to reporters, Gemade said 50 percent of housing units in such estates would also be set aside for allocation to medium income earners.
He said the authority took the step as a way of offering succour to such category of Nigerians who would otherwise not be able to buy houses at the prevailing market rates.
Gemade said the FHA was not able to do more for now because of its own financial constraints having been taken off government budgetary allocation for over 10 years.
He said the authority would be in a better position to serve the underprivileged when the social housing policy being pursued by the Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development comes into effect.
Gemade also announced that housing units built by the Federal Housing Authority have been completed in six states and were ready for allocation to prospective buyers.
He said the new housing estates were in Osogbo, Osun State; Odukpani, Cross River State; Gombe, Gombe State; Goningora, Kaduna State; Abesan, Lagos State and Makurdi, Benue State.
Explaining that the completed housing units were in the first phase of the various estates, he added that work had commenced on the second phase under a public private partnership arrangement.
According to him, Osogbo has 100 units of three bedroom and semi-detached two bedroom bungalows while the estate at Abesan, Lagos, consists of 78 luxury flats in a block of six flats each in the first phase.
Gemade said work had also reached advanced stage on the partnership estates in Makurdi (Benue State), Yenagoa (Bayelsa State) and Awka (Anambra State).
He said each of the estates was supported by world class infrastructure such as roads, electricity, independent water supply, street lights and drainages.
He expressed satisfaction with the pace of work on the estates being developed under the 27 new partnership agreements signed by the authority last year.
Apart from Abuja where the authority had secured about 1,000 hectares of land for a new town development, Gemade said the authority would in the next few months move to new locations across the country's six geo-political zones with a view to taking housing to Nigerians wherever they lived.

Fugitive's rant puts focus on evolving LAPD legacy
On Friday, a community of online sympathizers formed, echoing complaints against police that linger in some communities. One Facebook page supporting Dorner, which had over 2,300 fans by Friday evening, said "this is not a page about supporting the killing of innocent people. It's supporting fighting back against corrupt cops and bringing to light what they do."
The LAPD was once synonymous with violent and bigoted officers, whose culture and brand of street justice was depicted by Hollywood in films like "L.A. Confidential" and "Training Day."
In 1965, 34 people died when the Watts riots, triggered by a traffic stop of a black man by a white California Highway Patrol officer, exposed deep fractures between blacks and an overwhelmingly white law enforcement community.
In the 1980s, gang sweeps took thousands of youths into custody. The O.J. Simpson trial deepened skepticism of a department already tarnished by the videotaped beating of King, the black motorist who was hit with batons, kicked repeatedly and jolted with stun guns by officers who chased him for speeding. Rioting after a jury with no black members acquitted three of the LAPD officers on state charges and a mistrial was declared for a fourth lasted three days, killing 55 people.
In the Rampart scandal of the late 1990s, scores of criminal convictions were thrown out after members of an anti-gang unit were accused of beating and framing residents in a poor, largely minority neighborhood. A handful of officers were convicted of various crimes and the scandal led to federal oversight that lasted eight years.
Much has changed: Whites now make up roughly a third of the department and, while under federal authority, LAPD moved to require anti-gang and narcotics officers to disclose their finances and worked on new tools to track officer conduct.
When Bratton announced in 2009 he was stepping down, he said he hoped his legacy would be improved race relations. "I believe we have turned a corner in that issue," he said.
Dorner's own case in some ways reflects the diversity of the LAPD: the superior he accused of abuse was a woman and the man who represented him at his disciplinary hearing was the first Chinese-American captain in department history.
When Dorner, a Naval reservist, returned to LAPD after deployment to the Middle East in 2007, a training officer became alarmed by his conduct, which included weeping in a police car and threatening to file a lawsuit against the department, records show.
Six days after being notified in August 2007 that he could be removed from the field, Dorner accused the training officer, Sgt. Teresa Evans, of kicking a severely mentally ill man in the chest and left cheek while handcuffing him during an arrest.
However, his report to internal affairs came two weeks after the arrest, police and court records allege. Civilian and police witnesses said they didn't see Evans kick the man, who had a quarter-inch scratch on his cheek consistent with his fall into a bush. A police review board ruled against Dorner, leading to his dismissal.

Hospital surgeons operate on 'wrong man' after mix-up at Barrow hospital
Last updated at 15:48, Tuesday, 27 May 2014
SURGEONS operated on the wrong man after his medical records were "mixed up" at Furness General Hospital with those of another patient who shared his surname.
But no-one at University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust, which runs FGH, will face any disciplinary action as a result of the mistake.
A freedom of information request by the Evening Mail revealed the "never event" – a category of incidents considered so serious by the NHS that they should never happen, occurred after two patients with the same surnames were referred to orthopaedic consultants at FGH.
The patient received surgery at Westmorland General Hospital in Kendal last year for decompression of carpal tunnel, a condition that causes pain, numbness and a tingling sensation in the hand and fingers, based on a report in his medical notes.
Afterwards, the patient was referred to a neurologist after continuing to experience symptoms. After examining the man, the neurologist realised the report referred to another patient.
George Nasmyth, medical director at the trust, said: "As their name suggests, 'never events' should never happen, so it is a real concern when they do – and the trust takes them extremely seriously."
Although no staff member was disciplined, the trust said several received retraining.
Secretaries received training in integrating results from studies into the patient administration system and consultants and associate specialists received training in patient identification procedures.
Nurses also received training in the "Duty Of Candour", recommended in The Francis Report calling for a statutory duty of openness and transparency to be imposed upon healthcare providers.
Mr Nasmyth said: "Within this culture, we can make sure staff feel safe and comfortable to report any incidents, 'near-misses' or concerns, discuss them openly and honestly with support from the Care Quality Commission where necessary, and ensure everyone in the trust and the wider NHS understands what went wrong and how we can do more to prevent it happening again."
The trust said no legal action had been brought as a result of the incident.

Have your say
Surely Jonathan humphries needs to have his reports qa'd prior to th being published as contains a number of errors, mainly the mix up between FGH and WGH.
Good work evening mail. As always!
Must be low of articles this week....
It is really a bit strong blaming FGH for thie mix-up in this case. The patient should have realised the medical information was incorrect, as should Westmoreland Hospital. I have been an in-patient in both hospitals, and the checks are so rigorous, even down to the Operating Theatre checks as they wheel you in. So no blame on FGH here. Patient and Westmoreland blame only.

"When I found the old popcorn maker stashed away in a back closet of our FOB (Forward Operating Base), I couldn't imagine it would ever work. After some parts and TLC, I got it running again. The next step was figuring out how to get the troops working for me some popcorn to eat! I called several companies, tried Amazon, etc. Nobody was able to ship a large bag of popcorn, salt, and oil to an APO address. Then I tried Nationwide Candy, and Jason was immediately able to put together my order and get it shipped out to me. Nationwide Candy and Jason have no idea how happy they have made my 200 troops to have a little taste of home out here in Afghanistan. It's the little things from back home that keep us going, and Nationwide Candy had a big part in that. THANK YOU!"by Mitchell H. on 10/16/2014

Inhaled Antibiotic for CF
Cayston (aztreonam for inhalation solution) is a new inhaled antibiotic for the treatment of CF, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in February 2010. It is the first new inhaled antibiotic developed for CF in more than a decade.
Cayston is used to improve respiratory symptoms in people with CF who have Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Is Cayston right for you? Here is information that will prepare you for talking to your CF care center team to see if you or your child should add Cayston to your regular CF treatment regimen.
What is Cayston®?
Cayston is a new inhaled antibiotic for the treatment of cystic fibrosis. It is the first new inhaled antibiotic developed for CF in more than a decade.
It's used to improve respiratory symptoms in people with CF who have Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Cayston is inhaled using a new device called the Altera® Nebulizer System. Using this system, the medicine is nebulized in less than five minutes.
Cayston was developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc. and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) February 22, 2010.
back to top
Is Cayston the same as AZLI?
Yes. Cayston is the drug's trademarked name. Before FDA approval, it was known as AZLI, or aztreonam for inhalation solution, which is the generic drug name.
Should I or my child be taking Cayston?
Cayston is used to improve respiratory symptoms in people with CF who have Pseudomonas. Only your CF doctor and healthcare team can help you to know if you or your child should be taking Cayston. Learn more patient information on Cayston's Web site.
Can I or my child take Cayston with my other medicines?
Consult your CF doctor and care team about Cayston and how it may fit into your overall treatment regimen.
How can I obtain Cayston?
While you cannot get your Cayston prescription filled at your local pharmacy, it is available at select specialty pharmacies.
You can learn more about how to obtain Cayston at the Cayston website or call 1-877-7CAYSTON (1-877-722-9786).
When I start Cayston, can I stop my other antibiotics?
Cayston is one inhaled antibiotic to help fight infections caused by pseudomonas. Ask your CF doctor if you need to stop any medicine when you start taking Cayston.
Before stopping any medication, you should always talk with your doctor.
Are there medicines that should be taken before Cayston?
Before taking Cayston, you should do some of your inhaled therapies. These include your bronchodilator (e.g., albuterol) and your mucolytics (e.g., Dornase Alfa, hypertonic saline). If you have questions about Cayston or how to take it, talk with your CF healthcare team.
Can I use the Cayston Altera® Nebulizer System for other inhaled antibiotics?
The Altera nebulizer is only approved for use with Cayston. You should use the right nebulizer with the right drug. Using a different nebulizer could cause you to get too much or too little of the medicine.
How do I clean and disinfect my Altera Nebulizer?
Remember, clean, disinfect and air-dry all equipment used for inhaled medications after each use. Watch this short video below to learn how to properly clean and disinfect your Altera Nebulizer System Handset.
You can disinfect the equipment using an electronic baby bottle steam sterilizer (e.g., Nuk Quick N Ready Steam Sterilizer) according to the sterilizer instructions. Do NOT use a MICROWAVE steam sterilizer with the Altera handset!
If after watching the video, you are unsure or have questions about how to take Cayston or to use, clean and disinfect the Altera® Nebulizer Handset, call your CF center.
What if I cannot afford Cayston or don't have insurance?
If you have insurance problems or cannot afford Cayston, you may find support through the Cayston Access Program. You can call 1-877-7CAYSTON (1-877-722-9786) or go to the Cayston website to learn how to get it.
You may also want to contact the CF Foundation's Patient Assistance Resource Center (PARC) provides a variety of resources to help people with CF and their families manage their current health insurance coverage or find coverage to help them obtain essential drugs and treatments. For more information, contact the PARC at 1-888-315-4154 or email email@example.com.
What was the CF Foundation's role in developing Cayston?
Cayston, developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc., is the first CF drug to advance — from beginning to end — through the Foundation's Therapeutics Development Program.
The Foundation supported Cayston at each stage of development, from providing an initial $1 million therapeutics development award through a nonprofit subsidiary of the Foundation, to making its clinical trials network available to test the drug in patients, to explaining the scientific benefits to the FDA.
The CF Foundation's Therapeutics Development Program, used to support Cayston, is one way the CF Foundation is working to find new treatments and get them to people with CF faster.

As its subordinate title clearly indicates, Clear Browser is indeed a minimal full-screen browser.
Nope, Clear Browser is not associated with Clear, the popular to-do app by Realmac Software. But Clear Browser, which is developed by flyingcomma, does have something in common with Clear. And that's a decidedly minimalist approach.
Clear Browser is minimal in that it practically does away with on-screen buttons and other extras while you're browsing with it. It is, in fact, a full-screen Web browser for iPhone and iPad.
Just to be clear, though, the app's on-screen buttons and whatnot get out of the way only when they're not needed. But when they are needed, you can easily call them up with just a swipe.
On the iPhone, they can be accessed by swiping from the bottom of the screen. On the iPad, swiping from either side of the screen should do the trick.
Note that these gestures are not made apparent right at the outset. I did figure them out after a few taps and swipes here and there, though. But a brief tutorial for first-time users will definitely be of help.
Clear Browser is available in the App Store for free. The app's pro version, which is available in-app for $1.99, unlocks its advanced developer features and its unlimited cache for Visual History.
Visual History refers to Clear Browser's "photographic memory." Instead of presenting your browsing history as simple webpage titles, Clear Browser includes a screenshot for each item in your history. This way, you can quickly see which webpage you want to navigate back to.
This photographic memory is also applied to the app's Bookmarks pane.
And speaking of the Bookmarks pane, it's one of the new features added to Clear Browser through its recent update. The other new features are direct searching from the address bar and link sharing via Facebook, Twitter, and email.
So, if you're looking for a lightweight and minimal full-screen browser, stop waiting for Mozilla Junior and start using Clear Browser.

Are you a Division of General Practice or Medicare Local that is interested in adopting Australia's most widely used and nationally recognised secure messaging solution with over 32,000 connected users Australia-wide
Medical Objects have already undertaken mass rollouts of our secure messaging software in divisions across Australia and are now delivering millions of messages per year across all ranges of health professionals. From Hospitals, Pathology Labs, and Diagnostic Imaging, to General Practitioners, Specialists, and Allied Health sites.
In 2008 General Practice Queensland (GPQ) sponsored health professionals across Queensland to install Medical Objects as the chosen Secure Messaging Client for their 2 year long iHealth Care project. During this period Medical Objects was installed in thousands of practices across Queensland, Since the end of the iHealth Care secure messaging subsidy in mid-2010, the number of health providers using Medical-Objects has increased from 9,320 to 11,251, an increase of 21%.
The installs were co-ordinated between Medical-Objects and division staff and the healthy relationship between ourselves and many of these divisions still exists today.
See the GPQ iHealth Care webpage for information and statistics relating to the project.
Medical Objects are currently working on mass installs of our client within Divisions across NSW, Western Australia and South Australia, as well as large scale rollouts to hundreds of GP's and Specialists in Victoria.
Many Divisions using Medical-Objects initially set up a few doctors and sent messages to test the system. It's easier to answer questions if you've had hands on experience yourself. It allows you to understand what is involved in the initial installation and to see how easy it is to set up.
You'll see first hand how 'user friendly' Medical-Objects is, and that minimal IT knowledge is needed to integrate electronic messaging into the daily routine of the practice.
