Obama Justice Dept. Denies Military Vote, Blames GOP
The head of the Obama Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, Tom Perez, admitted this week that he has no real intention of trying to assure that members of our military are afforded their right to vote, and will not attempt in a timely fashion to enforce the MOVE Act (Military and Overseas Voter Empower Act) intended to make sure that our soldiers get their ballots with time enough to return them so that they can be counted on election day.
Perez made a very weak pledge that the Dept. of Justice would, "continue to vigilantly enforce [the] law" to make sure the military votes are counted, but he made it clear that all he is prepared to do is sue states long after the November 2 elections are over. In other words, Perez is saying that the DOJ will sue states after the election, long after the votes go uncounted and our soldier's votes are essentially taken away from them.
It is a typical, Democrat bait-and-switch operation. Perez is putting on airs, acting as if he's is seriously trying to enforce the law, but his actions will come too late, hitting after that "enforcement" will do any good at all.
Then Perez outrageously tried to blame the Illinois GOP for being the ones acting in bad faith.
Earlier this month when it was discovered that many counties in the Land of Lincoln had not bothered to send out the ballots on time to soldiers overseas, the Illinois GOP filed a suit to try and give the soldier's more time to get their ballots back. Perez scolded that this effort to assure that our soldier's votes counted was an evil "quite literally unprecedented in our nation's history."
So, according to Perez, Democrats not sending out ballots to the military is nothing to get all excited about, but the GOPs effort to give the military a few days more to get their votes mailed back in is a crime beyond the pale?
Worse, the partisan Perez tried to claim that the GOP was trying to steal the election.
Perez said such sentiments amount to, "I want to wait and see who won, and then I'll cast my ballot" or "I want to wait and see if it's a close election, and then I'll cast my ballot." He said Republicans in Illinois sought "a new paradigm" that is not even legal.
Perez is an Obama appointee and his nomination was held up in the Senate during the controversy over Obama's dismissal of the voter intimidation perpetrated by thug members of the New Black Panthers in 2008. Perez is also a big supporter of "rights" for illegal aliens.
This is the sort of disenfranchisement of our military and subsequent support for those who have neither been born here nor earned the right to vote that the Obama administration has tried to pursue.
Remember this on Tuesday, won't you?

The new NHS information strategy urges health and social care services to make full use of online technologies to put patients in control of their health and health records.
The strategy puts a particular emphasis on the creation of portals for patients, health professionals, commissioners and researchers, in a series of moves that health secretary Andrew Lansley says will free up the "power" of information.
A national 'portal' will be created as the definitive source of trusted information on health and social care by 2013. The NHS portal will inform patients' decisions on selecting treatments and providers.
This fits with the central theme of shifting to a presumption of sharing information within and between health and social care providers, and capturing data just once at the point of care.
"These proposals will ensure that the NHS will become easier to understand, easier to access and will drive up standards of care," said Lansley.
A new commitment is given to make it far easier for the life sciences industry to access anonymised patient records, with the lead role to be provided by the Health and Social Care Information Centre.
An ambition is also outlined to develop integrated health and social care records, and provide patient access, "once technology permits."
The long-awaited strategy, developed after extensive consultation, is titled 'The power of information of information: Putting us all in control of the health and care information we need.'
The strategy is big on ambition – nothing less than the previously promised 'information revolution' – but only offers a sketchy map of how to get there.
The first NHS information strategy since the multi-billion National Programme for IT in the NHS was launched a decade ago also almost entirely ignores its predecessor and the mixed legacy it has left.
Primary care information systems and national data collection are singled out for praise.
"Unlike previous information strategies, it does not reinvent large-scale information systems or detailed mechanisms for delivery," the foreward says. "Rather, it provides a framework and a route map to lead a transformation in the way information is collected and used."
A core guiding principle is that the centre should get out of the way except on core standards and undefined elements of national infrastructure.
The information strategy paints a broad big canvass, covering all health and social care organisations and defines information users as including clinicians, patients, carers, researchers and local councillors.
The strategy provides only hints of how these ambitions are to be achieved, with further "implementation papers" promised to follow.
No specific financial commitments are given, other than a brief statement that there will be some funding from capital investment for patients administration systems for hospitals that didn't receive them from NPfIT.
Cultural change is, however, identified as essential with recognition given to the need to invest on health informatics training.
Every organisation is directed to nominate a board-level chief clinical information lead, with recognition given to the potential of the new chief clinical information officer role.
The document says that as part of this transformation, information must become "regarded as a health and social care service in its own right." It says there is a need to catalyse a cultural shift in favour of information sharing and information enabled services.
"The success of this strategy depends as much on a culture shift – in the way patients, users of services and professionals think, work and interact – as it does on data or IT services."
With the decision already taken to abolish the Department of Health Informatics Directorate, and the NHS Connecting for Health agency by next April, a key question will be who takes national responsibility for the delivery of the strategy.
In theory, this will be the NHS Commissioning Board in conjunction with Public Health England and the Health and Social Care Information Centre, but overall implementation responsibilities - including national standards development, accreditation, contracts procurement and management and the running of core national information services – are so far unclear.

Transferring documents & images between primary & secondary careNeelam Dugar 161 weeks ago
This can be made really easy & simple in the NHS.
NHS needs to use XDR standard of IHE with standard metadata set. Ed Conley, Tim Benson & others have been working with IHE-UK, & CFH/ITK team so that a standard metadata set can be agreed for the UK.
What are the implications of this for existing systems?Mary Hawking 161 weeks ago
How would adopting new standards affect existing systems - particularly fully functioning GP systems?
As it is, the Impact Assesment - in the spreadsheet - shows CCGs paying for Patient Record Access - presumably that means development costs...
Time for existing systems to stop being so helpless and needyGuildfoss 161 weeks ago
This argument was the right stand to take against NPfIT, but completely the wrong one to take now. Existing Systems are now the bad boys - especially when they are a CLOSED PRIVATE CLUB funded by public money. Its time that these ever-needy suppliers took part in activities like the connectathon: cat2012.org/ and #nhshackday using their own funds (or should I say recycled public money)
Groan.eohl 161 weeks ago
So the information strategy view on the portal is getting the patient to see the records the GP holds?
I think what I would have liked to see is some sort of grading for information, using in part (old) priorities for communications systems (ignore the clinical examples, the are examples - not for an IT guy to set):
Z Flash - e.g. Allergies ASAP
O Immediate - Medication within 30 mins
P Priority - 3 hours Summary medical record - patient portals
R Routine - Discharges
And standards that say all NHS systems should offer Flash by 2013, Immediate by 2014, etc.... i.e. Get the interchange of information delivered by priority of need.
From Paul CurleyLyn from Digital Health 162 weeks ago
EHI has been gathering comment on the NHS information strategy from think-tanks, people working in the NHS, and system suppliers. You can see some of the results in the Insight section.
This arrived too late for the feature. But it's a thoughtful contribution from a consultant surveon and clinical director for IM&T, working at Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust - which has also featured in our newspages this week.
"Publication of the IT strategy is delayed and much vaunted. The demise of Connecting for Health as a comprehensive operational strategy and organisation has the potential to see fragmentation of Healthcare IT across the NHS. Some of the principles in the strategy are welcome, much is a rehash of previous documents and the absence of detail is disappointing after such a long delay.
The provision of standards for data is a requirement - but disappointingly little has been achieved in secondary care over the last number of years. Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) have been one of the major successes of the NPfIT programme but even now the promised ability to view images acquired in one site at any other site is not live. This, despite the standard of DICOM being applied.
Undoubtedly primary care has come further faster. It is reality that a small number of providers of "GP systems of choice" dominate the market and in general these allow records to be transferred seamlessly to another GP if the patient moves practices. But what of secondary care ? A speaker from King's College Hospital London at HC2012 stated that their "mature" in-house EPR was very useful internally but when asked what happened when a patient moved to another part of the country, said that the record could not be transferred, exported or understood elsewhere. Is this the best we can do ?
Standards are of help. But what we really need is interested, knowledgeable and influential clinicians given the authority and power to effect change. This is where the EHI Chief Clinical Information Officer campaign was so visionary. We need the Clinical Leaders Network, the Department of Health, the Chief Medical Officer and the Medical Director of the NHS to work together to get clinicians to take responsibility for IT - particularly in secondary care. We need systems that allow transfer of data readily between providers, we need simple and secure ways of transferring results, investigations, letters and other electronic information to legitimate partners (GP, other Trusts, patient).
The emphasis on patient access to information is interesting. Unquestionably many patients will access and take ownership of their records. This is to welcomed. However, a significant proportion have little interest in handling their medical records. They want healthcare professionals to have access to, interact with and record within those records and to have the content readily available to the next professional in the care chain. Patients need to push for this seamless access - those who want direct access should be able to get it.
My overall impression is a document that is probably 100 pages too long. We need the DoH to set the direction. I believe the strategy has achieved this. We want government to push the NHS, Acute Trusts, GPs, industry and other stakeholders towards a vision of joined up healthcare information. We want government to be ruthless at identifying and reducing waste. Therein lies a potential problem. Without central oversight, many organisations are likely to develop their own way of solving what have been intractable problems. We do not want to have 170 acute Trusts with 60 different solutions - none of which readily receive or understand information sent from other Trusts. In short, we do not want multiple silos of information that are not connected.
King's EPR may work in King's, but what about the patient admitted elsewhere with their information locked in King's ?
The move away from a large cumbersome bureaucracy is welcome. But the network of Clinical Leads for IT within CfH is a loss. We need a well organised and respected group of clinicians ensuring that the problems and errors in their Trust are not left hidden from other Trusts. Let's redouble the campaign for CCIO posts. Let's ensure that those of us passionate about the NHS are engaged in maximising investment in IT for the benefit of the whole system. Let's solve the easy problems together."
Information is not locked in the King's EPRColinS 162 weeks ago
Getting a bit parochial here, but what Jack Barker was asked at the conference was whether the King's system was available to be accessed in other parts of the country. His response was No. This isn't actually totally accurate as it is accessible to our clinicians working in outreach clinics and to approved users in our Academic Health Sciences Centre. The information in our system is shared regularly and automatically with our local GP population in the form of letters over NHS mail and standard PMIP messages for Pathology and Radiology results.
I have always maintained that if standards could be agreed upon the opportunity to share what is necessary and appropriate from our system is one we would welcome, especially if it is a two way process. I still stand by this view and hope the strategy will progress that.
Local Safety more Important than National ConvenienceJack Barker 161 weeks ago
Always good to talk to you Colin.
The question I thought I was answering was: Can you easily transfer records in secondary care in the same way as I believe you can in primary care? As I understand it you can move from one primary care practice to another with the whole electronic record being transferred intact. Currently I don't think that can happen with information between secondary care providers.
In secondary care the information is probably much more complex and includes sophisticated imaging data-for instance. I don't think we are ready to move all this stuff around en bloc yet. We are already sending it electronically piecemeal to GP systems. We send radiology reports, blood test results, discharge summaries and clinic letters electronically.
The work of Prof Ian Carpenter and his team at the health Informatics unit of the Royal College of physicians should help bring some order to the internal structure of the documents and perhaps more extensive use of SNOMED coding will help with the other elements. These things are recognised in the new strategy.
I have no regrets about focusing on the internal workings of our hospital as opposed to making the information available easily should the patient want to move to another part of the country or should they become sick whilst visiting another part of the country. I think the bigger dangers lie within our hospitals. We need to make sure we spot when our patients are getting sicker, we need to support safe handover and we need to make hospitals more efficient and effective.
health informatics training?eohl 162 weeks ago
Is additional funding necessary? From what I've seen numerous resources are available but the need to use them isn't.
Again with global standards, quite an amount is already around,
aim for Level 2/3 CDA using SNOMED, don't introduce new kettering/pdf/tiff document exchange implementations.
When exchanging care plans stick to the SNOMED codes in NHS Care Planning for problem types and interventions, etc...
If your not exchanging data yet but plan to.... try where possible to use SNOMED codes i.e. don't use 01 for white british use 315236000
ICD 9/10 Read CTV3 is ok to use because you can map them to some extent to Concepts....
It's all on TRUD website http://www.uktcregistration.nss.cfh.nhs.uk/trud3/user/guest/group/0/home
Implementing SNOMED might seem simple but......Infoman 162 weeks ago
But consider the implications for all those down stream secondary data processes like SUS, PBR, clinical audit etc. Changing the data format for a single variable like ethnicity from "1" to "315236000" will either mean that the sending system (Trust PAS) has to translate the outbound data from "31523600" back to "1" or the recieving system (SuS) has to land "31523600" and then convert back to "1". If the data isn't mapped back then *every* local / national database, analysis and reporting system will have to be changed so that is can store and utilse the new code.
And of course even this simplistic mapping solution will impose significant costs on systems at a local and national level. The use of SNOMED for direct care purposes (clinical communication) is essential but one of key reasons SNOMED hasn't found traction in the NHS is that the business end of healthcare just can't see the cost benefit and all the reviews of SNOMED implementation have struggled with this problem.

The Impact Analysis spreadsheet makes fascinating reading - really does!
In particular I love the source of evidence for massive savings in Patient Record Access from a study of 198 involved patients - and extrapolated to the total population of England.
I'm not sure where you see EMIS lobbying here: as only EMIS has developed Patient Record Access, it is inevitable that this will be mentioned and any figures for benefits would have to come from EMIS sites.

For once the government have got it right. No sudden lurches in a different direction, an umbrella strategy of standards convergence which tells everyone to just get on with it!
There are two excellent open source case studies for people to follow and plenty of other exemplars.
I guess in an ideal world they would specify IHE as the open architecture that everyone should converge to, but hey, this is a good start - its now up to those people in the NHS who have big money problems so assess the options. . . or face the wrath of angry clinicians and patients!
Diluted nonsenseCharles Gallagher 162 weeks ago
A quote from the Information Strategy
"This strategy is deliberately and unashamedly aspirational. Because the benefits of improved information are so great, information must consistently be seen as being core to the business of health and care."
If this statement were true they should have published some tangible, aspirational, mandated targets to succeed.
As it is its just a piece of blue sky thinking that doesn't challenge the industry or the NHS one iota.
Green light, or just moss growing?JacquesOuze 162 weeks ago
Thanks Jon, your article is a masterpiece of restraint and objective, professional journalism. Not being a journalist, or even very professional, I can say that the Power of Information is the biggest pile of pants I've read in a long time - and believe me, I read some real merde.
It may be Mr Tickell's green light, but it's a green light to do nothing. Why should GPs extend patient record access? They have sbown little appetite for doing this so far, and now they're preoccupied with learning how to commission. Who is going to make them? Not the commissioning Board when it has bigger fish to fry. Similarly on standards and terminology - what levers or structures will there be to ensure their widespread adoption? Nothing here to answer that.
As you say, it's completely ignors the past and does not address which parts of the 'undefined elements of national infrastructure' will still be provided and by whom, or whether some of the known problems with that infrastructure will be addressed.
Of courese, additional clarity on these issues may come from the implementation papers, but the strategy iteslf appears less a 'framework and route map' and more a bucketload of whishy washy wishful thinking. No clarity, no structure, no teeth.
What did you really expect?personal opinion 162 weeks ago
Come now Monsieur Jacques, since when has any Government ever published a strategy that has anything definitive in it... apart perhaps from in Cloud-cuckooland (perhaps this is where you are from).
In the English speaking world we have a saying "every cloud has a silver lining". Parhaps where you come from it is the other way round... At least the strategy has now been published; and let's face it - it has been a long wait!
Seriously though, whilst I agree (in part) that there could have been more substance, it is far from the white-wash that many detractors predicted.
As always, we will have to wait for the dust to settle to see what effect it has on the industry.
Perhaps to learn from mistakes rather than repeat them?JacquesOuze 162 weeks ago
Maybe it's hope over experience, but still expect policy papers to be better than this. Personally, I put it down to the lack of a UK equivalent to Sciences Po and ENA. All those Oxbridge PPE types just can't cut it.
But it's not so much the general thrust of the document that's the problem, after all, it's really just the same old, same old - so it's difficult to figure out why it's taken so long to publish - it's the lack of any consideration of the strategic enablers that will make the difference between success (however limited), and yet another abject NHS IT policy failure. The overall message seems to be 'here are some nice to haves, please do it', and we all know how far that's likely to get us.
re: Green light, or just moss growing?mrtablet 162 weeks ago
I perhaps smelled less pants more mom and apple pie.
As Jacques says, this document studiously divorces policy from implementation. It thereby barely hints of delivery mechanisms, carrots or sticks.
I hope "The power of information" was delayed because solid implementation details were lagging behind which are now hot on it's heels.
If implementation papers do not follow quickly this will suffer the same fate as 2001's "Building the Information Core – Implementing the NHS Plan" : platitudes with which no reasonable person could possibly disagree - and totally ignored.
Back then everyone waited two years - only for NPfIT to turn up as the implementation plan!
So I'll keep the bunting furled for now.

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan will carry the Olympic torch Thursday, during the Olympic Torch Relay, organised ahead of the opening ceremony of the grand sporting extravaganza in London.
"The very prestigious Olympic Organizing Committee, headed by its chairman, Lord Sebastian Coe... sends an invitation to be a part of the Olympic Torch Relay tomorrow as the flame passes through London, on its final journey into the Stadium for the Opening Ceremony, London Olympics 2012," Amitabh wrote on his blog srbachchan.tumblr.com Wednesday night.
The 69-year-old veteran will cover a distance of 300 metres at Southwark in the Borough of London starting around 10:50 a.m, "a moment to be hopefully remembered by the grandchildren," he added.
Big B says he is honoured to have been bestowed with an opportunity to be part of what he calls "a moment of pride".
"This is an incredible honour, humbling and so full of pride and emotion. A moment that fills me with all that reflects the spirit of the Games - a certain respectability and dignity that it offers, to all people and communities of the world, to come and compete in their respective skills in an atmosphere free from discrimination," he wrote.
The opening ceremony is to be held Friday.

I agree with LoveRosh. The honor of bearing the torch is given to anyone who has a special story to share about their achievements or who is very inspirational to others. It has nothing to do with sports (although some of the torch bearers were athletes).
Edited on:26 July 2012 at 8:14pm
The olympic torch carrying has absolutly nothing to do with any relations with sports. ANYONE who has a story to tell who has something special whose stories were nominated by friends or families or even celebrities can carry the torch! I dislike Amitabhji i just dont like the bachchans period. BUT I am VERY VERY PROUD that he was chosen to represent India. He deserves it above many. And it has NOTHING to do with sports its about coming together as 1 WORLD and 1 PEOPLE OF 1 WORLD as a UNITED BEING, and to do that the people of the olympics chose different people from all OVER. Go to the olympics main page and check out torch bearers. Over 8000 people were chosen and including just everyday people with fascinating or interesting or special stories.
..Great inspiration Sir..extra ordinarily brilliant,amazing player..beautifully playing toughest game of life...congratulations !!!..indeed very proud moment for us Indians..to see Mr.Amitabh Bachchan carrying Olympic Torch in London
What are you SERIOUS!!!! Leaves me speachless to see movie actors getting such an honour over those who actually take part in the games.
Again - link to sports?
Edited on:26 July 2012 at 8:10am
I can understand his overwhelmed response for being invited to carry the torch, but honestly I think a person affiliated with sports in Bollywood one way or another would have been better, but oh well you can't blame the guy for being happy.
Big up the London Olympics 2012!! Saw the torch in my area yesterday and it felt great - party on at Hyde Park tonight London!!!!
YYY not a sportman????...this is veryyy sad nothing against AB but not happyyy we got so many sportspersons who deserve it better...i guess it's moneyyy!!!!!!
I thought Olympics was about sports. Amitabh carrying the Olympic torch sounds very funny considering the guy has never been associated with sports. ROFL. Looks like everybody forgot Olympics is actually about sports and not about actors.
Oh well...its sad that movie celebrities have an edge over sports personalities...even in the mega sports event like Olympics! But hey...if Rupert Grint can bear the torch...so can AB! This invitation came from Olympic organizing committee n not the indian Olympic association..
Crap...how do I unlike my own comment without disliking it? :s
Edited on:26 July 2012 at 1:23am
With utmost respect for AB. The authorities should have selected an sportsman with iconic stature to carry the torch.
An aged film star no matter how great he may be...has no business carrying the Olympics torch...its the domain of sportspersons who have sweated it out on the fields ...

Kind-hearted Penwith residents make charity Christmas party possible
Posted: December 27, 2013|
The Cornish branch of a charity which supports people with learning difficulties were able to throw a Christmas party thanks to some generous Penwith residents.
Mencap West Cornwall had no budget for a Christmas party and relied solely on donations from members of the public to put on the event for charity users and their families at Hayle Rugby Club.
Following a radio appeal from the charity, local people came forward to donate raffle prizes, Christmas decorations and a DJ offered his services free of charge.
Holly Hobson, area administrator for the west Cornwall branch, said inclusion is an important part of Mencap strategy which is why they were keen to get the community involved.
She added: "The night was a massive success and about 80 people attended, each person we support managed to get a raffle prize and luckily there was plenty of food for everyone. We all danced and chatted the night away until 10pm. We have had fantastic feedback from the families saying how lovely it was that everyone we support could all be together and it also gave them a chance to meet other families."
The charity would like to thank Hayle Rugby Club, Mike Blyth 'Right on track' DJ, Julian Foye, Co-op, Lidl, Tesco, M&S, Paradise Park, Bookers, Tregenna Castle and the Fire House as well as all the generous members of the public who donated items.

Of these 22 senior officials, former interior minister Rakik Haj Kacem was sentenced to 12 years in jail and other security chiefs to up to 15 years.
The verdict provoked great anger among the families of the victims attending the hearing.

Looking for an engagement ring that will bring destruction of biblical proportions into your life? Have we got a diamond for you!
Last week, one Craigslist user from Pennsylvania posted an ad for a diamond engagement ring with a price tag of $1,800
For sale I have a 1.5ct total weight engagement ring set in 14K white gold. The ring is in like new condition, only worn for a short period of time by Satan herself. Comes with the original box. Very pretty ring with a lower setting so the diamonds won't snag on everything. Diamonds along the sides and in the channel setting show off light from all sides. Originally purchased from Littman's for a sum of money far greater than I am comfortable admitting.
Warning: ring may be cursed as it tends to leave a path of destruction behind it. Possible events associated with this ring include but are not limited to: damage sustained to house, vehicle, heart, downed powerlines, fallen trees, and swarms of locust. I would highly recommend taking action to counter the whirlwind of bad mojo that surround this piece of jewelry. Should consider having curse removed by voodoo priest or something before presenting to loved one.
Other than that a very nice piece of jewelry.
Looking to sell this soon before it brings any more bad luck into my life and I'd rather have cash. If not sold by Christmas I plan to throw it into the fires of Mordor.

Thank you for visiting the Sacred Omega website. Here you will find up to date information and some background to the project. Please let us know you called in and share your thoughts, if any.
It's time to think seriously about our world, the bigger picture, not simply reducing the oil we use, what we fill the skies with or the creatures that are destined for extinction. The bigger picture is more holistic. Who is really in charge of your country? Who makes the decisions? Do these people, whoever they are, genuinely want to make your home country a better place to live, to make sure that no one lives in poverty and look after our home planet?
These are just some of the thoughts that occur to us and inspires Sacred Omega to create music as an expression of what we see. We're going to provide a little detail on each of the tracks from the Prelude album (already available). We're currently working on the next part of the project, called Covenant.

Two Brothers; Two Picture Books: My Kids Love 'Ten Things I Love About You' by Daniel Kirk and 'Oh So Tiny Bunny' by David Kirk
Two beautiful picture books. Two talented brothers. A sweet family love story. I heart my job!
My kids and I have been mooning over two new releases: Ten Things I Love About You and Oh So Tiny Bunny. I noticed the authors names, Daniel Kirk wrote and illustrated Ten Things, and David Kirk did the same for Oh So. They are brothers, and it turned out that Daniel Kirk lives just a few miles away from us. Both are celebrated, bestselling children's authors, too. Daniel has produced 35 pictures books including the Library Mouse series. David has done 28, including the Miss Spider series that is now the TV show Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends.
So you know their work is going to rock.
Ten Things I Love About You is a heartfelt story about the friendship of Pig and Rabbit. Rabbit is making a list–you can guess what the name of it is–about his friend Pig. Rabbit gets stuck and keeps coming back to Pig's house to find more attributes to add. Sometimes Pig gets impatient, but Rabbit takes note that Pig is good at expressing his feelings. At the end, Rabbit is delighted to find that Pig has wrote Ten Things about Rabbit, too. Their exploration of friendship inspires my children. Read this to your little ones at night, and you will melt into a puddle of chocolate when your kids go to bed telling you all of the things they love about you.
Oh So Tiny Bunny tickles kids' emotions, too. Oh So may be a very tiny bunny, but he has big dreams. He has visions of eating gigantic carrots and hopping over life-sized bridges. But when he entertains his visions, he never sees any other bunnies. Then the only thing that's big is his loneliness. He wakes up to appreciate his size when another tiny bunny nibbles his year. My daughter Annabelle said, "I like it because he tries to find a friend. And all along, she was probably trying to find him, too."
We cuddle and hug over these books–and that's exactly what I need sometimes after watching three kids all day. Who can't use an extra hug, a few compliments and a good snuggle? Ten Things I Love About You and Oh So Tiny Bunny can bring your family all three.
So how did two brothers go down the same path? I had to get their story. Turns out that their parents were puppeteers–Kirk's Puppets–and the family traveled around Ohio doing shows. The boys were exposed to great story-telling. Daniel was bookish–always drawing and reading. David was more outdoorsy–always in the creek looking for frogs and turtles. They both studied art in college. Daniel started writing and illustrating books and David was a toy-maker who illustrated his own product boxes. Both of them had children, and independently, David started doing kids' books, too. I begged them to work together on something soon. They're toying with the idea of fictionally depicting their unique childhood. "With a family of elephants standing in for our own human family," Daniel told me.
I can't wait to see what they come up with next.Add a Comment

I had the privilege of working with David while at Nick Jr. Magazine and of meeting Daniel at a school visit where we were both reading last Tuesday. I had no idea about their puppeteer parents. What a great story! They definitely should do a book together, especially starring elephants!

Writing personal statements does not end in the university, residency, or graduate school. Personal statements are also required by employers to know more about their applicants. The knowledge on how to write a personal statement for a job has a lot of benefits for the applicant including the high probability of getting the job he or she is applying for. Although writing a personal statement for a job looks easy, it is really a challenging task.
How to Write a Personal Statement for a Job: Some Good Ideas
If you are asking how to start a personal statement for a job, you must begin by knowing the contents and format. Generally, the purpose of writing a personal statement for a job is to convince employers to hire you in whatever job you are applying for. Therefore, a good personal statement includes your experiences (academic and non-academic) that qualify you for the job. Also, it includes your achievements, what you can offer to the work environment, and why you want the job. In writing a personal statement for a job, you should specify the job you are applying for. Since each job description is unique, every job opening requires a different personal statement. Let them know that you are the best person for the job. Also, write using a readable font. Writing a personal statement for a job application is different from ordinary essays because it is a form of advertising yourself to get a job. You must write it in a way that shows your enthusiasm to get the job. Like any other essays, a personal statement for job application is divided into three: an introduction that can grab the reader's attention, detailed supporting paragraph, and a conclusion.
How to Start Writing a Personal Statement for a Job
After knowing what to write, the only thing you need to do is start writing. You may ask how to write a personal statement for a job. On the process of learning how to write a personal statement for a job, it is evident that there is no single format regarding personal statements for a job application. However, there are several things you need to know before writing a personal statement for a job. First, you must read the application guidelines or instructions thoroughly such as the format, job description, person specification, and other details to be able to understand what employee they are specifically looking for. Upon ascertaining all the requirements and instructions, you can start writing a personal statement for a job. Second, get all relevant information you need in writing your personal statement. Some can be found in your transcript, resumes, previous application forms, and other documents. By doing this, you minimize the risk of being frustrated when a writer's block come in. Third, begin writing your first draft. After writing the first draft, proofread to avoid grammar and spelling errors. Let other people read your work and ask for feedback. Revise again until you have the best result before submitting the application to the employer.

Warning: due to the overly sexy nature of these images, any of you who are particularly susceptible to Bieber fever should avert your eyes. I got my hot little hands on a few screencaps of Justin Bieber sans shirt from his new documentary All Around the World.
True, he's no Chris Hemsworth in the torso department, but tell me Beliebers, does JB's boyish bod still send you into a tizzy of adolescent lust?

come on guys, overclocking a desktop cpu is as hard as it is and you are trying to do it on something that only has passive cooling?
maybe +50-70MHz will work fine but more than 100MHz is just overkill as it will not improve the performance that much since the device only has 512mb of ram anyway. you are just wasting battery.
if you don't believe me, test it for your self with some benchmarks.
as i said before, for what i've tested, the best is to leave everything as it is, it runs the best, at least for me.
That was me. I have a German official Rom but i have a Portuguese Acqua.

Winter means updating your outerwear to include mittens and a thermal jacket, but before you hit the road, have you also updated your winter driving skills? When temperatures drop, roads can become more dangerous, meaning you need to change how you drive.
Steve Magnante, SPEED collector car expert and freelance automotive writer, offers some valuable tips for driving smart and staying safe on the unpredictable roads of winter.
Top Rule of Winter Driving: Slow Down
Winter brings snow, ice, and sleet, and these variables change how your vehicle grips and moves on the road. Staying alert and slowing down is the first step of safe winter driving, because you never know the exact road conditions or how your car might react to them.
"You're used to going 55 or 60 (mph) down a stretch of road and forget that on wet or snowy pavement the coefficient of friction, or the relationship between your tire and the road, is not the same. So take 20 percent off your speed until you know it's safe to drive faster," suggests Magnante.
Keep an Eye Out for the Unknown
First, always be aware of other drivers on the road. "Even though you might be a great driver, sometimes there are people around you that didn't get the message," says Magnante. "Keep a nice distance between you and the people around you, particularly if there are people in front of you because if you are following too closely and they have to hit the brakes hard, you could be in trouble."
Second, watch for virtually invisible black ice, which appears as shiny, black, or wet tar on the road, and can leave drivers with little-to-no traction when they hit it. "The best thing is for the driver to be proactive, slow down, keep an eye out for black ice and keep cars away from you as best you can," Magnante says. "Don't let people push you into their accident."
Test your Winter Driving Skills
Today's modern cars come with a plethora of safety features that protect passengers, particularly in tough winter environments, but that doesn't mean you won't have to adjust how you drive to stay safe.
While specialized winter driving courses do exist, they may not be available in some areas. If you can't take a course, Magnante recommends finding an empty, open space (make sure it's legal), and seeing how your car behaves on winter driving surfaces.
"If you can drive around on snow in a way that you're going slowly, but you can cut the wheel hard, brake hard, you can learn some lessons about what it is to be driving on snow in a place where you can't hurt yourself or your car, like at the back of a Walmart parking lot," says Magnante.
Navigate Ice and Snow with Caution
If you live in an area that gets a lot of ice or pack snow, studded snow tires are a worthy investment if allowed. "They aren't something you are going to find on every street corner, but if you have a lot of ice where you live, think about getting them, and put them on all four tires," Magnante says.
When it comes to heading out on the road, trust your gut feeling and use your common sense.
If you only encounter ice periodically during winter, try to drive on the areas of roads that have been treated with sand and salt. If you do slide, he says, "steer into the skid. For example, if the tail of the car is coming out to the right, you want to turn to the right rather than the left, giving the rear more momentum to swing the car around and spin out."
Use your Common Sense and be Prepared
When it comes to heading out on the road, trust your gut feeling and use your common sense. If the weather conditions are rough and your travels aren't absolutely necessary, stay home until things improve.
If you do drive, pack some emergency supplies such as a blanket, boots, insulated mittens, a small shovel, and always have your cell phone charged and ready. Consider storing an extra jug of windshield antifreeze in the trunk so if you run out, you can refill and keep your windows and vision clear.
"You may want to check your insurance policy and enhance it in areas," Magnante adds, "Especially if your kids are driving the car."

Nairobi — The government is hosting the first ever trade and investment mission of businessmen from South Africa on Monday to facilitate and initiate dialogue between SA companies and businesses in Kenya in hopes of spurring trade.
Kenya's High Commissioner to SA Tom Amolo revealed that the delegation is fronted by the ANC Progressive Forum, bringing over 50 companies seeking trade and investment opportunities in Kenya.
He emphasised that South Africa is an important trading partner for Kenya, but urged better balance between the two countries relating to imports and exports.
"This is a very important first step in broadening the scope and content of our bilateral ties, especially in regard to trade and investment," he said.
"There are 35 South African companies in Kenya but the trade deficit between our two countries is too large. We import Sh73.8 billion worth of goods and services, but we only export only about Sh3 billion to South Africa," he added.
Amolo acknowledged the growing political tension and environment in the country due to the elections, but explained that the business community is happy with how the High Commission has worked to ensure that the elections are free and fair.
"The business community is very comfortable with what we've been doing and the legal and economic infrastructure that we've laid in place has excited investors," he said.
"With the discovery of oil, the large and growing middle class and a very well educated working community in the country, Kenya is ready for a really big take off," he explained.
Amolo noted that the visit takes place in the backdrop of a blossoming and cordial bilateral relationship between Kenya and South Africa, evident in terms of growing politico-economic relations as well as expanding business opportunities.
He added that among the sectors represented and seeking partnership with Kenyan companies are construction, hospitality, mining, infrastructure development, real estate and retail sectors.
"With a liberalised economy, relatively developed infrastructure, strong financial institutions, fast growing middle class, four fibre optic cables, cheap highly skilled manpower and a market access to 133 million people in the EAC, Kenya provides a platform for any investor keen to reap from the fastest growing economies of Eastern Africa," he said.
The programme for the trade and investment mission includes a business forum on January 22 and a networking breakfast on January 24, which will provide an opportunity for Kenyan companies to establish contacts, create dialogue and exchange ideas for future cooperation.
Last December, the two countries formed a South Africa-Kenya Business Association aimed at closing the trade deficit gap.
The association has launched a directory with the addresses and brief descriptions of the companies and businesses that have interests in the two countries.
All South African-linked companies and their Kenyan partners with business interests, employment contracts and associates living in Kenya are admissible to the association.

Will a PN-60 Display Multiple Tracks Simultaneously?
I am seriously thinking about moving from my GPSMap 60CS to a DeLorme Earthmate PN-60 (see here). I have been reading the PN-60 User Manual online and it speaks of being able to open a Saved Track, as in only a single track. Is it possible to display multiple saved tracks simultaneously? Here is how I do things on my Garmin.
I build and manage all my tracks in DeLorme Topo. For Topo users--I manually draw in any sections that are not routeable, make a route for everything worth riding in an area, save it as a GPL Log File, convert it using GPSBabel to a 500 point track, and then load it with Mapsource into my GPS. For a number of reasons, it is not uncommon to for me to build separate, adjacent tracks and then load them all into my Garmin and have them all turned on, i.e. displaying at the same time. Am I going to be able to this a PN-60? Or am I not even thinking about this clearly?
Reading the DeLorme Forum, it looks as if I need to rethink how I do things:
" you can only see one saved track at a time on the GPSr (in addition to the current, active track). Draw lines are not routable. On the other hand, you can see many draw layers simultaneously on the GPSr, or you can combine multiple draw lines in a single draw layer. This allows you to do things like mark multiple trails in different colors and see them all at the same time on the unit."
If not, do some homework regarding availability of maps.

|Selected FAQ
Where can I find the Printer description or PPD file so that I can print Post script Images from Quark?
There is no software available from Epson that will allow the printer to print postscript. However, there may be third software that you can try. Adobe has software called Pressready that allows postscript files to print to a non-postscript printer. Epson does not support this software and you should contact Adobe for questions. If printing postscript files is going to be a major portion of your printing, then you may want to consider purchasing one of our Epson printers capable of printing postscript files when used with our optional Stylus RIP software. Please contact our pre-sales department at 1-800-463-7766 for more information.

Healthy Diet Helps Damaged Hearts »
"Dec. 5, 2012 -- It's never too late to start reaping the benefits of a heart-healthy diet.
A new study shows older people with established heart disease who ate the most heart-healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, and nuts ha"...
Signs and Symptoms
Platelet inhibition by prasugrel is rapid and irreversible, lasting for the life of the platelet, and is unlikely to be increased in the event of an overdose. In rats, lethality was observed after administration of 2000 mg/kg. Symptoms of acute toxicity in dogs included emesis, increased serum alkaline phosphatase, and hepatocellular atrophy. Symptoms of acute toxicity in rats included mydriasis, irregular respiration, decreased locomotor activity, ptosis, staggering gait, and lacrimation.
Recommendations about Specific Treatment
Platelet transfusion may restore clotting ability. The prasugrel active metabolite is not likely to be removed by dialysis.
Active Bleeding
Effient is contraindicated in patients with active pathological bleeding such as peptic ulcer or intracranial hemorrhage [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and ADVERSE REACTIONS].
Prior Transient Ischemic Attack or Stroke
Effient is contraindicated in patients with a history of prior transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke. In TRITON-TIMI 38 (TRial to Assess Improvement in Therapeutic Outcomes by Optimizing Platelet InhibitioN with Prasugrel), patients with a history of TIA or ischemic stroke ( > 3 months prior to enrollment) had a higher rate of stroke on Effient (6.5%; of which 4.2% were thrombotic stroke and 2.3% were intracranial hemorrhage [ICH]) than on clopidogrel (1.2%; all thrombotic). In patients without such a history, the incidence of stroke was 0.9% (0.2% ICH) and 1.0% (0.3% ICH) with Effient and clopidogrel, respectively. Patients with a history of ischemic stroke within 3 months of screening and patients with a history of hemorrhagic stroke at any time were excluded from TRITON-TIMI 38. Patients who experience a stroke or TIA while on Effient generally should have therapy discontinued [see ADVERSE REACTIONS and Clinical Studies].
Effient is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylaxis) to prasugrel or any component of the product [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].

Patience. That's what was required of him. But damn, he'd been treading water a hell of a long time while he waited for destiny to change the course of his life.
Brenimyn didn't enjoy these monthly exhibitions any more than he liked copulating with Kylie. Though she'd never admit it, she detested his touch. He didn't mind. It was less confusing without emotions getting all tangled in their peculiar relationship.
Since arriving at the Garden three years ago, Brenimyn had become accustomed to arrogant women who thought they were the only intelligent creatures walking this earth. Kylie was a prime example of that conceited attitude personified.
To the women before him, he was nothing more than a stud. Stupid, beastly and-inhuman. Oh, if only they knew what he could do, they wouldn't think themselves so superior, now would they? But the time had not come to travel that particular road. Preparations still needed to be made. In the meantime, he would swallow his pride and let the mauling begin.
"Their physiques are quite different from ours, not all cushy and round. Rather ugly if you ask me." Kylie pulled off Brenimyn's tunic and smiled up at him. "Sorry, Brenimyn. I know the truth stings."
Forcing his lips to lift, he bent and kissed her cheek. "Nothing is as beautiful and sweet as a woman, Kylie. Not even the flowers in the gardens."
"Thank you." She callously patted his stomach with a cold hand.
"Now, Brenimyn is going to take off his breeches. Though you all studied anatomy in school, the first look at a man's genitals can be shocking."
Brenimyn untied the cords at his belly slowly, seductively. This was the only time he had control and he stretched the moments out until the females before him leaned forward in breathless anticipation. His eyes locked on the only woman in the room who seemed less interested in this whole charade than him. The raven-haired beauty actually looked lost despite the maturity lining her face. Her hand caressed her cheek even as he thought of her. Her eyes shifted uncomfortably around the room, not watching as the fabric pooled at his bare feet and the inevitable gasp of awe echoed off the walls.
"Please come up and have a closer look," Kylie said. Her hand fondled his buttocks. Touch but don't desire, this one is mine, her caress communicated to the breeders even as her lips curved into that plastic smile he'd come to despise. "My mate is a wondrous specimen."
Brenimyn resented Kylie. He belonged to no one. Least of all her.
On shaky legs, the dark-haired woman approached with all the others. Her gaze searched everywhere but the one place he willed her to look-his face. For some reason, he wanted her to see him, not as a supplier of sperm, but as a man.
Like all the others, her eyes focused only on his physique. Her gaze slid over his well-defined chest he worked hard to maintain. She followed the small line of blond curls around his navel then lower. From her frank appraisal, he wondered if she had ever seen a human male as natural as the day he was birthed. This woman was no different from all the others. Disappointment slumped his shoulders.
Winding her fingers into the yellow mass of curls, Kylie's fingers cradled Brenimyn's testicles. "Touch everything, it's all right."
At Kylie's tone, Brenimyn dropped his gaze to the floor. He worked to block out the uncomfortable flurry of fingers petting his skin. He thought again of the Governmental Body of the Garden and wondered how much longer they would keep him as head of the male breeding population if Kylie didn't conceive soon. As much as he abhorred this display, he needed to be here. He was desperate to meet all the new women entering the Garden. After the mating ritual with Kylie, he'd circulate through the other instructing rooms under the pretense of checking his breeders. Surely the woman he sought would be among this breeding class. Although the girls currently giggling and fondling his body couldn't really be classified as women, now could they?
Lost in his own thoughts, Brenimyn wasn't prepared for the shock wave tearing through him like a jolt of electricity. He stared at the fingers trembling along his forearm then into the amber pools that had held his gaze since he entered the room. He wasn't supposed to meet the women's eyes when they were this close, but the unexpected tingle of awareness had broken his usually stoic concentration. The beautiful brunette looked at him through thick lashes as if she recognized him. Her mouth trembled with a smile. Did she feel it too? He studied her, trying to discern if she sensed the flow of knowledge rushing between them.
