October Certified Product Owner Workshop in Orange County
Scott Dunn, CST, PMP
Thursday, October 10, 2013 at 9:00 AM - Friday, October 11, 2013 at 5:00 PM (PDT)
"How do I write good user stories?"
"How do I break down my 2 month feature into two week chunks?"
"How do I prioritize which is most important of my dozens of requests?"
"What are the daily tasks and responsibilities of the Product Owner?"
Lead by a Pragmatic Marketing Certified agile trainer and coach who has helped product owners at Yahoo, Kaiser Permenente, eBay, Technicolor, ServiceNow and numerous start-ups, this course is personal, interactive and high energy. No death by PowerPoint. You will learn the way people learn best - via teamwork, discussion, interaction and exercises. Class feedback has been more than 9.5 on a scale of 1 to 10.
And as a Orange County trainer and coach, I am always available for follow-up questions, feedback, or other needs that come up.
This two-day Product Owner certification course provides everything you need to get started as the business point person using Scrum with a team. You may be a product manager, project manager, business analyst or other subject matter expert (SME), but no matter the role, you know you are the voice of the customer - the one specifying what team should build, the vision, roadmap and priorities for the team and deciding on the feature, cost, and quality tradeoffs. Scrum will enable the business to see working demo's every one to four weeks, as well as empower frequent releases to production and draw the team closer to the business value goals of product itself.
The largest and fastest-growing Agile project management methodology, Scrum is a simple framework that has a small set of interrelated practices and rules, is not overly prescriptive and enables more effective teams almost immediately.
This course is 14 Category 3 PDU's

Leave no stones unturned. Life is about the love you give and the love you receive. Dance like no one's watching.
You're hiking in Tahoe -just reached 10,000 feet-, the summer sun hits your back as it melts the surrounding snow. Straight ahead is a crystal clear lake that calls your name (considerations: no suit, occassional passers-by, frigid water)....... I know what I did next, what would YOU do? I love a good adventure, whether backpacking through Europe for two months (at age 12) or moving to NYC (at age 16) or joining Match.com after a dear friend challenged me to make more time for dating as we dined on a rooftop in Rome (two weeks ago). Exploring spirituality, what makes people tick and how I can be of service to mankind fills my cup no matter where life takes me. Along the way, I can be found hiking every morning and in dance class most nights a week. Volunteering is a lifestyle for me, which blends well with my freedoms as a freelancer. I live life to the fullest everyday and leave no trace of "what ifs" along my path. I care deeply about people and rejoice in the joys of others. I am quite independent but also realize that beauty and discovery are maximized when shared. I desire a deeply connected relationship with a gentleman who can take the lead, who is an excellent communicator and who isn't easily intimidated. There's nothing sexier than a confident edge (when grounded in humility). I love a good banter and sparing with a wit that makes me laugh and also has the ability to put me in my place! A playmate who can challenge me, grow side by side with me and cherish life's infinitely abundant blessings, who isn't afraid of his own vulnerability OR his inner beast: that's who I envision as my lover. I have faith he will show up at the right time and right place, in the meantime, I'm not one to settle.
Camping , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering
Dancing, Inline skating, Swimming, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs, Horses
Some other viewpoint
Local hot spots I love involve a good hike at Runyon Canyon; a late night swim on my rooftop pool deck with the city lights sparkling below the stars gleaming above; my favorite secluded beach in Malibu; Monsoon Salsa Nights; NYC's Central Park....
Raindrops on roses ;), FAMILY and FRIENDS (one in the same), things that stretch me outside of my comfort zone, spooning, seeing people step into their uninhibited confidence, the sound of children laughing, sweet older couples in love, sarcasm.
Fun = Playing airplane, hide seek, badminton, slip slide with my nieces/nephews! = Feeling like a mermaid while swimming in tropical waters with gorgeous fish! = Breaking up the standard norms! = Deep, intimate, revealed, honest conversation!
I'm not really one to sit down with a novel- i'd rather be out experiencing the world in the flesh than on the page. When I am found reading, it's usually something that feeds and inspires me spiritually.... which is how I like to start everyday!

Henson and the Yankees have reached a resolution that frees him from the final three seasons of the six-year, $17 million contract he signed with New York in 2001, sources close to Henson confirmed for ESPN.com on Monday.

International opportunities on your doorstep
Our events will connect you directly with employers, immigration advisers and relocation service providers...
Understanding international recruitment and relocation is what makes WorkingAbroad different. However, a company run by former government immigration officials, relocation and recruitment professionals is what makes us unique.
We understand that moving overseas is as much about the process of relocating as it is about finding a job. For some of you, finding a job with an international employer that is eligible to provide sponsorship is the first step to living and working abroad, especially in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Middle East and the US. However, for most people, it is advice and assistance with immigration and relocation including work permits, skills assessment, language testing and actually moving country, that they turn to WorkingAbroad.
Our WorkingAbroad events, now in their 10th year, provide you with an opportunity to meet face to face with providers of information, products and services for living and working abroad. Our events regularly include government immigration officials, employers, recruiters, immigration lawyers, skills assessment authorities and relocation specialists including shipping companies, overseas banks as well as foreign exchange brokers and insurances companies.
Regardless of what stage in the process you are at, fact-finding, job-hunting, looking for immigration advice or relocation services, attending a WorkingAbroad event is the best first step you can take.

Helps with sleep
Reviewer2882806发表于 Jan 20, 2010
I usually take tryptophan 30 minutes before my last meal of the day. I eat my last meal around 8:30 pm. I take 1-2 capsules of tryptophan, but I also use sublingual melatonin (I'm over 40 and melatonin definitely helps me). I've needed less melatonin, since using tryptophan. This does have fillers, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide. I like the regular screw bottle cap, although I'd like the bottleneck to be a little more flush with the cap. I am undecided which brand I like best. I like a pure product and a good bottle and a regular screw cap.

This is a very good sleeping help. Sleep like a baby. I don't have much problem sleeping but this really backs up the calcium/magnesium that I take before bed. If you take this with the Suntheanine you'd better be ready to go to bed as you really get drowsy. Recommend.

Korean Women in U.S. Demand Resignation of Park Geun Hye Regime
|Pyongyang, June 4 (KCNA) -- Korean women in the U.S. held a candlelight rally in Los Angeles on May 31 in demand of the resignation of the south Korean puppet regime, according to Minjok Thongsin, the internet newspaper of Koreans in the U.S.
Speakers at the rally said that there are many missing persons though more than forty days have passed since the ferry Sewol sinking accident occurred.
They stressed that the probe into the truth behind the disaster, investigation into the state policy and institution of a special law are the unanimous demand of the bereaved families.
Prior to the rally, the participants held a meeting for honoring the memory of the victims before the puppet consulate general and staged a demo.

The programs' ultimate aim is to help all clients leave the treatment center with a structure in place for life outside of it. People come in looking either for a new life or relief from their pain, and counselors and therapists on staff are ready to help.
Entering the Riverside rehab center gives clients a new chance to be responsible members of society once again. They come to find themselves, discover new levels of self-esteem, and a spirituality that works.
Once people leave the treatment center, outpatient care and support is strongly suggested by counselors. Transitioning back into the "real world" takes time, too, and outpatient treatment allows clients an opportunity to share their victories and struggles with like-minded people. When it's all put together, from detoxification to outpatient care, the substance abuse treatment center gives people a second chance.
For more information on the treatment center in Riverside, visit http://drugsdetox.org or call (888) 444-9148.

First Kilometers
First Kilometers
After a relaxing weekend, my goal for Monday morning was to get my motorcycle officially licensed. First I had to phone the Department of Transportation to get 48 hours insurance to drive my bike to a safety inspection. There it was to pass the Roadworthy Inspection, which was no problem. Unfortunately, the result still had to be confirmed by the central and since pretty much all the staff was sick I had to wait for four hours.
When I finally had the necessary paperwork I was able to drive to the Licensing Center in Rockingham. There I had to wait one more time because apparently I have been the first one who wanted to register a foreign vehicle that is temporarily imported under a carnet at this Licensing Center. But after one and a half hours the last doubts were removed and I was allowed to ride my bike for a year on Australia roads.
On Tuesday, I went to a motorcycle tire dealer John suggested to go to since my front tire felt weird.
After the problem was sorted out I went to visit the City of Perth to buy some last camping gear.
I left Gael and John on Wednesday to go camping for the first night. I am so glad I got all their help and I will miss Gaels super cooking skills!
Thanks to the app Wikicamps a free campground was quickly found just north of Perth.
The following day I went a bit further north and settled down at a campground in Cervantes.
He got a name: Outback Otto
Take these signs serious
Since I've somehow taken too much clothing my first trip in Cervantes was to visit the local post office to send a parcel with my things to Adelaide.
Since I wanted to go to the Horizons Unlimited Travelers Meeting in Yanchep National Park near Perth I had to go back South on Friday. On the way back I visited the Pinnacles in Nambung National Park.
The weekend at the HU meeting was great, I met so many nice people, got advice for my trip and even got invited to see some them again on my travel route.
At the end I got an official send off to start my journey.
Thx Ewen Macgregor (not the Charley Boorman one) for the Video
It was already quite late at the end of the meeting so I accepted the offer by Nathan to stay the night in their shared flat in Fremantle.
Me, Nathan and Duncan
Since I wanted to buy a lock for my bike, among some other things one night become a second.
I was super catered and we had a few nice beers - thanks Nathan and Duncan.
I was back to camping and found a nice spot for a night near Dwellingup.

As a foodie and a nutritionist, I like to savor the flavor and slowly eat and digest my meals. This flies in the face of an American tradition, eating contests. In this version, the participants have three minutes to eat as much watermelon as possible. It's at least a slightly healthier choice than gorging on pies, hot dogs, or pizzas. Of course eating too much of anything is not recommended from a nutrition perspective.

After more than 7 months writing my thesis at ABB Switzerland AG, it is finally the time to say goodbye. Thank you Thomas for your support. You are the coolest supervisor ever! (eventhough most of the time i'm scared of you and sometimes you being workaholic really bother me and make me look super lazy) The time i spend here sure by far one of the best working experience i had. Until next time Leute!
Schaffhausen train station: where I am for most of weekdays' morning
Sunrise from my old workplace
Waiting for the bus after 8 hours of work
When the bus came late, this is all I could see from the busstop. Boring!
My clean workplace. No more circuit breakers or disconnectors. Yeay!
Lastly, listen to this goodbye song. It has nothing to do with this entry. Just some music that I love

Thoughts on Day 2 of 49ers' minicamp
Wednesday, June 18, 2014 at 6:30 PM | Comments
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- It's only the second day of tight end Vernon Davis' and tackle Alex Boone's holdout, yet San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh appeared to be tiring of talking about the subject."To answer the three, four, five follow-up questions, it gets to be badgering," Harbaugh said. "It gets old. I covered it thoroughly yesterday. I don't feel like there is anything more to say about it at this time."Here are some other observations from Day 2 of minicamp:Rookies, running back Carlos Hyde and receiver Bruce Ellington, continued to shine in practice Wednesday.

Downs on DVD
Lila Downs has released a DVD featuring a potpourri of video clips by artists and filmmakers set to her love songs.
"Loteria cantada (Singing Lottery)" is based on a popular Latin American game that is similar to bingo, but uses cards with colorful pictures of everything from dancing skeletons to horned devils, the singer said.
"We wanted to bring a fresher, freer vision to things," said Downs, who fuses her mother's traditional Mexican music with U.S. popular music she learned from her American father.
When she was growing up, Downs split her time between Minnesota and the southern Oaxacan town of Tlaxiaco.
The DVD also contains a short film by her father, interviews with Oaxacan painters and a short documentary on her concerts in Mexico, Spain, Germany, England and Hong Kong.
Locked and loaded
After scrapping the original May 29 release date, Velvet Revolver has settled on July 3 to unveil its second RCA album, "Libertad."
The first single from the set will be "She Builds Quick Machines," which the group will probably play tonight when it performs at the Avalon in Hollywood.
Bassist Duff McKagan is also high on "Last Fight," which he calls "a mid-tempo, really beautiful song; probably something you wouldn't expect from us," as well as "She Mine," described as "a fun pop ditty."
"I think 'Contraband' was a great record," he says of Velvet Revolver's 2004 debut. "It was the right one for us to make as our first record. But 'Libertad' really goes way beyond that musically. I don't think any of us could have made a better record at this point in our careers."

Favorite with transitional readers
It's mischievous Junie B. Jones's first day of kindergarten and she hates having to ride the "stupid smelly bus" back and forth from the school building. So, when it's time to leave for the day, she stows away in a storage closet to avoid the trip home. Once everyone is gone, she make the best use of her new freedom. This first book in the Jones series demonstrates why Park's books are so popular with transitional readers. Jones's irrepressible voice is reminiscent of a young child's and her experiences in kindergarten will make the transitional reader feel like a "big kid" because they're several years older and know the ropes. Technically, the sentences are longer than an easy reader but still short enough for a beginning reader to digest easily. The chapters are all less than ten pages and the story lines are simple and straightforward. A quick moving pace will hold readers' interest.

Youngsters may read this book and enjoy it after they don't or do want to go on the bus!

Checking in at 7-feet, 250 pounds, high school freshman basketball phenom Raekwon Long can take his hoops career to pretty much any college he wants to in just a few short years. But that's only if coaches can get him out of the pool, according to MaxPreps.com. Long, who averaged about 15 points, 13 rebounds and eight blocked shots per game this past season, wants to swim. "He wants to swim on the swim team," boys basketball coach Joshua Coley of Garinger High School (Charlotte, N.C.) said. "The problem is, swimming is at the same time as basketball. We've talked about letting him compete on the weekends. The meets are usually on Saturdays, but I'm not too sure about that yet." Long just turned 16 earlier this year but he has already been invited for unofficial visits to North Carolina, Kentucky, Louisville, Clemson, Charlotte, Duke, and Wake Forest. "He's very proud about being a swimmer," Coley joked. "You can tell him that he can't dunk, but if you tell him he can't swim you've got an argument on your hands." Thumbnail via Twitter/Raekwon Long

Several 2016 presidential candidates were interviewed for Sunday morning's political talk shows on Mother's Day, and not one of them was asked about how they might fix America's poor standing on maternal and child health and education.
A new report ranked the United States 61st globally in maternal health, worst among developed nations. From CBS News:
Save the Children, a global nonprofit organization aimed at improving the health of children worldwide, ranked 179 countries based on five indicators: maternal health, children's well-being, and education, economic, and political status. When taking all of these factors into account, the United States slid to 33rd place worldwide, down two spots in the rankings compared to last year.
While the United States performed well on economic and educational status -- 9th and 16th best, respectively -- in addition to its poor standing in maternal health, it ranked 42nd in children's well-being and 89th in political status, as measured by women's representation in national government.
Republicans Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, and Ben Carson, as well as Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, all appeared on political talk shows during Mother's Day, but none of them were asked about how they might address the nation's tragic infant mortality rate, reproductive health discrimination, or the fact that the United States is the only industrialized nation without paid maternity leave.
NBC's Meet the Press tackled the topic in a Mother's Day-themed panel at the end of its show, but host Chuck Todd neglected to ask Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina about what her approach would be to correct the U.S.'s maternal failings if she were to be elected. Instead of discussing Fiorina's dubious claims about the origins of gender pay equity, the two discussed free trade, her business record, and her lack of political experience. Todd did wish the candidate a "Happy Mother's Day."
Carson appeared on Fox's Fox News Sunday, where host Chris Wallace began an interview by asking Carson about his ailing mother and asking the candidate to describe how she raised Carson out of "dire poverty" in Detroit. Carson answered that his mother encouraged him to read, and that access to books made all the difference. But Wallace failed to ask Carson how he might increase the chances for other mothers and their children to thrive.
CBS' Bob Schieffer interviewed a pair of 2016 presidential candidates on the Mother's Day edition of Face the Nation, but he failed to ask either Mike Huckabee or Bernie Sanders about policy stances affecting U.S. mothers. Schieffer pressed Huckabee on the threat of ISIS, reforming Social Security, and his past hawking of fake diabetes cures, while focusing most of his discussion with Sanders on Hillary Clinton. Sanders nevertheless took the opportunity to cite Mother's Day and raise concerns about the U.S.'s child care system, which he called a "total disaster."
Republicans have regularly opposed measures that would alleviate some of the ways the nation's current policies have failed American moms. After President Obama called for mandating paid maternity leave in his 2015 State of the Union address, Republicans "didn't join in the applause" that followed and have publicly panned the idea. The Hill further noted that current Republican leadership also opposed the 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act, which Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said at the time would have devastating consequences.

Fox News championed a campaign to encourage healthy school nutrition in an interview with New York Giants player Victor Cruz, sharply contrasting with the network's long history of attacking similar efforts as government fiat.
On the March 4 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, Victor Cruz promoted Fuel Up to Play 60, the "nation's largest in-school wellness program." The initiative, a partnership between the National Football League and the National Dairy Council, aims to encourage support for school nutrition by creating "a system for increasing breakfast participation by delivering reimbursable meals to classrooms for student consumption before or during class," pointing to research that suggests offering "breakfast free to all children improve[s] student achievement, diets and behavior."
Cruz's campaign received a warm welcome by the Fox & Friends co-hosts who donned Cruz jerseys while interviewing him during National School Breakfast Week. Co-host Steve Doocy lauded Cruz for working to ensure "every kid in America is eating a healthy breakfast." Co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck praised Cruz's campaign, saying, "I know how important you understand nutrition is for kids. You do so much for kids, and this Play 60 campaign that you're running with here is so important. Tell us about why breakfast really counts for kids":
According to the Urban Institute, 8.2 million Americans, disproportionately women and children, may become uninsured as a consequence of King v. Burwell. But for right-wing media, pointing out the dangerous consequences of the loss of health care subsidies is nothing more than a "scare tactic."
A Michigan pediatrician refused to work with the baby of a same-sex couple, citing her anti-gay religious beliefs. It's another case that highlights the potential dangers of conservative media's campaign to champion "religious freedom" in the face of anti-gay discrimination.
In October of 2014, Krista and Jami Contreras brought their six-day-old baby Bay Windsor to meet her pediatrician, Dr. Vesna Roi at Eastlake Pediatrics in Roseville, Michigan. The couple, who legally married in Vermont in 2012, soon discovered that Roi had refused to come into the office and see them, citing her religious beliefs. The couple was instead met by a different pediatrician, who they had not selected.
Four months later, they received a letter from Roi apologizing and explaining her decision:
After much prayer following your prenatal, I felt that I would not be able to develop the personal patient doctor relationship that I normally do with my patients. I felt that was not fair to the two of you or to Bay.
Please know that I believe that God gives us free choice and I would never judge anyone based on what they do with that free choice.
The Contreras incident is yet another example of the dangerous consequences of right-wing media's campaign to justify anti-gay discrimination under the banner of religious liberty. For years, conservative media have used "religious liberty" as a rallying cry while lobbying against basic legal protections for LGBT people. Now, in the face of a potential Supreme Court loss on the issue of same-sex marriage, "religious liberty" has become the central argument for a number of state RFRA bills promoted by right-wing media that would greatly expand the right of businesses and individuals to refuse service to LGBT people on religious grounds.
Roi's refusal to work with the Contreras family is not illegal - though it does violate the rules of the American Medical Association and American Academy of Pediatrics, which both strongly oppose discriminating against patients on the basis of sexual orientation. Nor is what happened to the Contreras family an isolated incident. Studies have found that LGBT people face high rates of discrimination in health care, especially in states that have adopted "broad religious exemptions" from medical non-discrimination laws:
Conservative media have endlessly peddled horror stories of wedding photographers, florists, and bakers who were legally prohibited from refusing to offer their services for same-sex wedding ceremonies. But as the Contreras family's experience demonstrates, the right-wing insistence on broad religious liberty protections could impact far more than just same-sex weddings.
The Supreme Court will soon hear King v. Burwell, a right-wing challenge to the Affordable Care Act that could strike down the subsidies that Americans rely on to purchase health insurance. Here is a media guide to some of the health care and legal experts -- including conservative industry groups, members of Congress, and state officials -- who are asking the Court to reject the challengers' reading of the ACA, which flouts common sense and rules of statutory interpretation.
ABC News contributor Laura Ingraham falsely suggested there's a link between vaccines and autism, which flies in the face of substantial scientific evidence and her own employer's reporting on the issue.
A domestic measles outbreak has highlighted the rising numbers of American parents who disregard medical recommendations and choose not to vaccinate their children, often for religious or personal reasons.
On February 2, Ingraham spoke with a caller on her radio show who claimed that vaccinations had "something to do with" her child getting autism. Ingraham suggested that this might be a compelling reason to forgo vaccinating children, saying that there has been "anecdotal evidence" pointing to "overnight change" in children who have been vaccinated.
Contrary to Ingraham, ABC News reported just the day before that the science is clear: there is no link between autism and vaccines.
As ABC's This Week explained on February 1, a "now discredited study" published in 1998 originally gave rise to this myth about autism. The Lancet, the medical journal which published the study, retracted it in 2010, while The British Medical Journal called the research "fraudulent" and authorities stripped the doctor of his license. Multiple studies since then have confirmed that vaccines are safe.
"Study after study has shown that there are no negative long-term consequences," CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden told ABC. Measles, he said, is a "serious disease, and it would be terrible if we have preventable illness, even death, from this disease that's preventable with a safe and effective vaccine."
A New York Times report explained how irresponsible media coverage has played a role in perpetuating this dangerous myth about vaccines. Right-wing media figures, including Fox & Friends, Sharyl Attkisson, and now Ingraham, have long helped prop up discredited science and baseless fearmongering about the safeties of vaccines. Glenn Beck and multiple Fox News figures have repeatedly floated debunked claims vaccines may be linked to autism. Rush Limbaugh even declared in 2009 that it was "hard to disagree" with claims that the swine flu vaccine was "developed to kill people."
During her radio show, Ingraham went on to claim that measles is "not generally a deadly disease" -- ignoring the fact that "measles is one of the leading causes of death among young children" worldwide -- and to baselessly speculate that undocumented immigrants were to blame for spreading infectious diseases such as measles and TB in the U.S.
ABC News hired Ingraham as a contributor in April 2014, despite her long history of inflammatory and misinformed rhetoric.

Right-wing media figures misleadingly attacked and dismissed the need for paid parental leave after President Obama's State of the Union speech advocated for expanding these programs to more Americans. In fact, economists have found that increasing paid leave would boost the economy, increase wages, and keep families out of poverty.
Republican lawmakers reportedly plan to demand the suspension of first lady Michelle Obama's school lunch program in order to avoid a government shutdown, an ultimatum that follows follows a sustained conservative media campaign against her anti-obesity efforts.
According to The New York Times, congressional Republicans plan "to scale back Michelle Obama's school-lunch nutrition mandates and curtail some clean water regulations in a $1 trillion spending bill that would avert" a government shutdown on December 11. Republicans have staked their ground against a program the Times describes as an attempt to "improve school nutrition by reducing the sodium content and increasing the percentage of whole grains in school lunches."
While Pew polling has found that a majority of Americans agree that "the government should play a significant role in reducing obesity among children," Michelle Obama's efforts to combat childhood obesity have been met with consistent opposition from conservatives, including right-wing media. Here are some of the worst attacks on the first lady's school nutrition initiative:
Healthy School Lunches Are Government Fiat
Michelle Obama Is Too Fat To Lead Nutrition Efforts
Nutrition Standards Caused "Plate Waste" And Hunger
Michelle Obama's Efforts Lead To Higher Pedestrian Deaths

Right-wing media are falsely blaming the recent surge of undocumented children from Central America for spreading a deadly strain of the enterovirus. Conservatives are claiming the children are a form of "biological warfare" and President Obama and the government are "bringing in infected children and putting them in our public schools" because he's "so obsessed with winning Latino votes." However, the disease has been detected in the country for decades and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) told Media Matters that there is "no evidence" of a link.
Fearmongering about undocumented children spreading enterovirus D68 is the latest chapter in the conservative media's book of xenophobic smears. The right-wing media, in their efforts to oppose immigration reform, have previously blamed undocumented immigrants for diseases such as Hansen's disease (leprosy) and tuberculosis.
This year, a surge of unaccompanied children fled violence-stricken Central America and crossed the border into the United States. Many of the children were relocated to various cities and are starting school.
The CDC has confirmed over 600 cases of EV-D68 since mid-August. The agency notes that "Almost all the confirmed cases this year of EV-D68 infection have been among children. Many of the children had asthma or a history of wheezing." While investigations are ongoing, the virus has been "detected in specimens from five patients who died and had samples submitted for testing."
Public health experts have debunked the alleged connection between the influx of undocumented children into the United States and the spread of EV-D68. CDC spokesperson Jeanette St. Pierre told Media Matters: "Currently, there is no evidence from testing at CDC that EV-D68 infections in the U.S. are a result of unaccompanied minors moving into the country."
MLive reported that conservatives "have implied a link between undocumented children from Central America and the spread of enterovirus, but public health experts say that's simply not the case." The Michigan-based site, which publishes The Grand Rapids Press and others, wrote:
Fox News host Keith Ablow continued his attacks on First Lady Michelle Obama's weight, suggesting the first lady is a hypocrite on nutrition standards because photographs he claims to have seen prove, in Ablow's mind, that Obama has "struggled with her own weight" while in the White House.
Ablow was widely criticized after he dismissed the first lady's school nutrition efforts on the August 12 edition of Fox's Outnumbered, because he determined "she needs to drop a few" pounds. His comments engendered a widespread backlash, including from his own Fox colleagues. Ablow went on to defend his comments the next day to Politico, saying he was "not taking food advice from an American who dislikes America" and "has not been consistently a picture of fitness."
On the August 21 edition of Outnumbered, Ablow doubled down on his offensive comments, citing unspecified "images online" as proof of Michelle Obama's personal hypocrisy on fitness:
ABLOW: Well, listen, first, let's provide some context. The context was to remind people the draconian standards set by the first lady in her school lunch program, such that children are throwing their school lunches away. They're inedible. They won't eat them. And what I was reacting to was the hypocrisy. Let me phrase it slightly differently. For someone who has struggled with her own weight, which I think she would agree with -who has struggled so many of us have -- for someone like that to say we're going to set draconian standards and dial everything so far down thatit's inedible.
FAULKNER: How do you know she struggled with her weight?
ABLOW: Well, okay, because I know from the images online that she has struggled with her weight or chosen -- or chosen to be much heavier than at other points in the administration. Maybe she's chosen it. You're saying how do I know she's struggled. Maybe she didn't struggle. Maybe she chose to be a larger woman for some --

Hey ladies! I am the worst GO ever...at least I can admit that, lol! Would anyone like to co-GO with me? I am just so busy anymore and can't give this board the attention it needs. I would really like to have more activity here because I think it's really a great and a very needed place for us in-between mommies. If you are interested, please let me know either here or PM. I'll let you know what I'm looking for and see if you fit the bill. I would really like someone that is fair, drama-free and impartial. I have seen too many GO's get clique-y with their friends and forget to do their job correctly.
Thanks a bunch!

For some people, the weekend before Thanksgiving means house-cleaning and checking their grocery list for the big feast on Thursday. For others, it means setting up a tent in front of Best Buy and settling in for the rest of the week. For these people, at least, Best Buy opening at 6 P.M. on Thanksgiving Day is good news.
Black Friday Shoppers Set Up Camp At Best Buys Nationwide
Mall Restaurants Open On Thanksgiving Because Someone's Got To Feed The Hungry Shoppers
There's nothing worse than a rumble in your stomach while you're trying to focus on the hard task of shopping Black Friday or Thanksgiving sales. Maybe you left that plate of turkey and stuffing to get cold and congealed on the table in favor of scoring the best deals. Since many mall stores will be open on earlier on Thanksgiving this year, so will plenty of food court restaurants. [More]
4 Reasons Why Today Should Have Been Black Friday (And Why That Could Have Saved Thanksgiving)
There is a lot of talk these days about the growing number stores opening on Thanksgiving day this year, effectively turning Black Friday into Black Thursday. There are employees threatening strikes and people starting petitions while stores are opening as early as 6 a.m. on the morning of Turkey Day. But maybe it all could have been avoided if they had just moved the big shopping day up a week. [More]
Walmart Employees & Supporters Planning Black Friday Protests At 1,500 Stores
Just like last year, Walmart associates and other supporters in communities across the country are planning on protesting at a number of stores on Black Friday, about 1,500 locations this time around. At the heart of those campaigns are supporters' concerns over 825,000 Walmart workers who are paid less than $25,000 a year, alleged illegal retaliation against workers and improved labor standards. [More]
Every year there are the inevitable stories about consumers setting up camp to wait for Black Friday sales, and this year is no different. But honestly? The group at this Best Buy in Ohio sounds like a blast, as most say they're there for the community aspect. "I don't even want to buy anything," one woman admitted. "I just wanted to hang out with everyone." Wanna call them crazy? That's fine, says another: "We are crazy." [via USA Today (video autoplays)]
Walmart Hasn't Paid $7,000 Fine For 2008 Black Friday Trampling Death
We mentioned the other day that it's been five years since the tragic Black Friday trampling death of a Walmart employee. In the years since, Walmart has spent millions of dollars trying to avoid the meager $7,000 fine from OSHA, and still has yet to pay it. [More]
NLRB May Prosecute Walmart For Alleged Retaliation Against Protesting Workers
For the last few years, a number of Walmart workers have pushed the nation's largest retailer for higher wages and the right to unionize. During this time, some employees have alleged that management has retaliated against workers who have protested the store or walked off the job temporarily to strike. Today, the General Counsel for the federal National Labor Relations Board issued a statement saying he has investigated these claims and may have to prosecute the company. [More]
5 Years After Deadly Walmart Black Friday Stampede, OSHA Reminds Stores To Keep Order
In the early morning hours of Nov. 28, 2008, a Walmart employee in Long Island was trampled to death by over-eager shoppers rushing to grab doorbuster deals. In the years since, many stores have taken measures to prevent this sort of tragedy from happening again, but it doesn't hurt to remind retailers what can be done to minimize any mob mania. [More]
Costco, BJ's Would Rather Have Their Employees Spend Thanksgiving At Home
This year, everyone from Kmart to Macy's to Staples will be celebrating the time-honored tradition of ruining Thanksgiving by throwing open their doors early to shoppers eager to flee the company of their families in favor of door-buster deals on junk the stores are desperate to get rid of. But some retailers simply refuse to get into the spirit of Black Thursday and won't open until — get this — the day after Thanksgiving. [More]
Insider: Everyone At Best Buy Dreads 6 P.M. Thanksgiving Day Opening
We've been writing a lot about major retailers' plans to open on Thanksgiving Day. In case it isn't clear, we aren't fans of this phenomenon. According to to our poll data, our mailbox, and comments left here on the site, neither are our readers. We received a lengthy rant from an anonymous Geek Squad agent about how things look right now at Best Buy, and what workers at Big Yellow and Blue have to look forward to. [More]
Walmart To Workers: Sorry You Won't Be Home On Thanksgiving, Here's A Turkey Dinner
There's nothing like a home-cooked meal, surrounded by loved ones with the warmth and satisfaction that comes from a full belly and companionship. Walmart thinks it can replace at least parts of that experience by giving employees a turkey dinner with mashed potatoes, rolls and pie for anyone working on Thanksgiving Day. [More]
This satirical Onion overview of Black Friday sales is funny and all, but we're pretty sure that they printed an error. The store that's offering a "[c]omplimentary all-encompassing sadness and pervasive sense that your life wasn't supposed to be like this with every purchase" is actually Kmart. And it starts at 6 A.M. on Thanksgiving Day. [The Onion]
You Won't Be Enjoying Thanksgiving Dinner Because Retailers Can't Wait For Black Friday
It's time to face facts: Retailers are jumping on the Let's Start Offering Big Sales On Thanksgiving Day bandwagon left and right, so you probably won't be enjoying your dinner very much this year. Target, Toys 'R' Us and Kohl's have all announced they'll be open earlier than ever on Thanksgiving this year, and Walmart probably will too. [More]
Best Buy Knows You Want To Waste Thanksgiving Camping Out For Stuff You Could Probably Buy Online For Less
It's a little-known fact that at the first Thanksgiving feast, some of the pilgrims were sitting around the table while wishing in their heart of hearts that they were camped outside the local loom-and-musket shop in hopes of snatching up bargains. Hundreds of years later, Best Buy is finally honoring that wish by opening up at 6 p.m. on Turkey Day. [More]
Nearly Half Of Black Friday Shoppers Shopping For Themselves
While Black Friday is always seen as the in-earnest kickoff of the holiday shopping season, a lot of those people camped out outside of Targets, Walmarts, Best Buys, Toys R Us stores, etc., have no intention of buying a Christmas/Hanukkah gift for anyone but themselves. [More]
Kmart To Open At 6 A.M. On Thanksgiving For Shoppers Who Hate Their Families
Just in case you hate your family so much that you can't wait until 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving to pretend that shopping at Macy's, JCPenney, or Sears is more important than spending the holidays with your "loved ones," Kmart — the store you used to buy socks at before the Walmart opened in your area — has decided to open at 6 a.m. on Thanksgiving to give you shelter from nagging questions about your job, love life, hair, friends, and why you never call. [More]
Walmart Decides To Get This Black Friday Deal Thing Out Of The Way Now
Could it be? Is Walmart as entirely sick and tired of the whole Black Friday and its inevitable creep backward as we are? Well, it's not clear if it's ditching Black Friday deals altogether, but it is offering a bunch of them a month ahead of time, starting tonight at midnight. [More]
So Macy's Is Opening At 8 P.M. On Thanksgiving. What's In It For Them?
Macy's recently confirmed that they'll be opening up at 8 P.M. on Thanksgiving Day. They're not the first retailer to open their doors while many Americans are eyeing their third slice of pie, but they are the first to announce an obscenely early Black Friday opening time. (Of course, we broke the story two weeks before that.) Why is the department store chain risking backlash and opening so early? [More]

Nine years ago, Takeo Spikes left Cincinnati in search of a team where he could contend and make playoff appearances. On his fourth team and in his 15th season in the league, Spikes is still searching for that elusive trip to the playoffs.
When it comes to regrets, though, Spikes said there aren't any. He's also hopeful that the Chargers, who host the Bengals today, can get on a run and get into the postseason.
"I never even give a second thought in my mind to think if I don't make it. I am Mr. Optimistic," Spikes said during a conference call Wednesday. "I understand. In order for us to have a chance to ...

YIELD: Makes 4 servings
Quarter potatoes, then cover by 1 inch with salted cold water in a 3-quart saucepan and simmer, covered, until just tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander, then cool.
Wash leeks in a bowl of cold water, agitating water to loosen any sand, and lift leeks from water to a sieve to drain. Pat dry.
Pat monkfish dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a deep 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sear monkfish lightly on all sides until golden, about 2 minutes total (fish will not be cooked through). Transfer fish to a plate using tongs.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil from slow-braised tomatoes in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté leeks, fennel, and shallots, stirring, until softened and edges begin to brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Add sliced garlic and sauté, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add clams, wine, water, red pepper flakes, zest, and tomato halves and cook, covered, until clams are fully open, 6 to 10 minutes, checking every minute after 6 minutes and removing clams as they fully open. (Discard any clams that have not opened after 10 minutes.) Using tongs, transfer clams to a large bowl or soup tureen.
Add monkfish and potatoes to skillet and simmer, covered, until fish is just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in basil and parsley. Season with salt and pour over clams.
While monkfish is cooking, rub one side of each toast with a cut side of halved garlic clove. Divide bourride among 4 shallow bowls. Add a garlic toast and top with a spoonful each of aïoli and tapenade.

Table 2. Paclitaxel/Platinum Combinations Versus Comparator Arms in Trials continued...
Two phase III trials (GOG-0218 [NCT00262847] and ICON 7 [NCT00483782]) have evaluated the role of bevacizumab in first-line therapy for ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers following surgical cytoreduction.[38,39] Both trials showed a modest improvement in PFS when bevacizumab was added to initial chemotherapy and continued every 3 weeks for 16 and 12 additional cycles, respectively, as a maintenance phase.
GOG-0218 was a double blind, randomized, controlled trial that included 1,873 women with stage III or IV disease, all of whom received chemotherapy—carboplatin (AUC 6) and paclitaxel (175 mg/m2 for six cycles).[38] Participants were randomly assigned to receive:
- Chemotherapy plus placebo (cycles 2 through 22) (i.e., control).
- Chemotherapy plus bevacizumab (15 mg/kg cycles 2 through 6), followed by placebo (cycles 7 through 22) (i.e., bevacizumab initiation).
- Chemotherapy plus bevacizumab (15mg/kg cycles 2 through 22) (i.e., bevacizumab throughout).
The women were enrolled with a primary endpoint of PFS; 40% of the patients had suboptimally resected stage III disease, and 26% had stage IV disease. There was no difference in PFS between the control group and the bevacizumab-initiation group. There was a statistically significant increase in PFS in the bevacizumab-throughout group when compared with the control group (14.1 vs. 10.3 months), with a HR of progression or death of 0.717 in the bevacizumab-throughout group (95% CI, 0.625–0.824; P < .001). Median OS was 39.3, 38.7, and 39.7 months for the control group, bevacizumab-initiation group, and the bevacizumab-throughout group, respectively. Quality of life was not different between the three groups. Hypertension grade 2 or greater was more common with bevacizumab than with the placebo. There were more treatment-related deaths in the bevacizumab-throughout arm (10 of 607, 2.3%) than in the control arm (6 of 601, 1.0%).[38][Level of evidence: 1iDiii]
ICON 7 randomly assigned 1,528 women after initial surgery to chemotherapy—carboplatin (AUC 5 or 6) plus paclitaxel (175 mg/m2 for six cycles)—or to chemotherapy plus bevacizumab (7.5 mg/kg for six cycles), followed by bevacizumab alone for an additional 12 cycles. The women were randomly assigned, and PFS was the main outcome measure; 9% of patients had early-stage, high-grade tumors, and 70% had stage IIIC or IV disease. Twenty-six percent had more than 1 cm of residual tumor prior to initiating chemotherapy. Median PFS was 17.3 months in the control group and 19 months in the bevacizumab group. HR for progression or death in the bevacizumab group was 0.81 (95% CI, 0.70–0.94; P = .004). Bevacizumab was associated with an increase in bleeding, hypertension (grade 2 or higher), thromboembolic events (grade 3 or higher), and gastrointestinal perforations. Grade 3 or greater adverse events were more common in the bevacizumab group. Quality of life was not different between the two groups.[39][Level of evidence: 1iiDiii]

Just Great!
The latest system update for my Lenovo K910, Dual SIM Dual Active, wiped the phone clean. Contacts, phone call and SMS logs, pictures, installed apps.... Everything just gone.
This is what it got updated to:
{Update Date :2014-6-6 ???}
I had to ship this in from China, as tech in the US is so backwards you can't get DSDA here, but, Lenovo (who bought IBM's notebook line) sure isn't doing anyone any favors with their shoddy programming.
If you have a Lenovo, and it wants to do a system update to VIBE UI, you might want to hold off for the next release (or five).
And the irony is, this "new" "VIBE UI" looks horrible compared to the plain old "VIBE" that was on here prior.
Best of luck Lenovo retaining customers.
Clarification: This was an OTA update provided by Lenovo through the K910's default "System Update" application. The System Update application's About states:
{Chinese I can't read}
the most thoughtful ROM upgrade service
Current version 2.7.174
Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com
Sina Weibo {Chinese}Phone{Chinese}
Check for updates
Lenovo All rights reserved
Copyright 2013 Lenovo All rights reserved
Update, 08:05 6/20/2014:
- The K910's default "Security" application no longer removes all Ads (or worse it adds its own?). There is now a fairly ubiquitous ad at the bottom of the screen in most third-party apps that was not there prior to this OS update. This ad is shown no matter what your Security settings are or what permissions the app has.
- "Failed to start monitor service, it is suggested to restart phone," always shows up in Security's App permission screen. There's a good possibility, based upon this and the above, that Lenovo's Security system app is entirely broken.
- Taskbar notification (or the application sweeper?) has been screwed up. Apps like WeatherBug use to be able to display the temperature in the taskbar after sweeping recently used app. Now apps have to be currently running (showing in the recently used app bar) to display notifications in the task bar.
- While you now get to choose more of the Theme settings, the really annoying things Lenovo added, like fuzzing the screen when displaying the recently used app bar, are not configurable.
The Lenovo K910 is a Dual SIM Dual Active (DSDA) [aka Dual SIM Dual Call / Dual Talk / Dual Pass] phone that allows you to have two lines on the same piece of phone hardware.
Hi Michael,
I also have the same phone. Ended up with this after 2 months of searching for a good dual SIM phone. Had to order this from China though.
Good to know that you have tried VIBEUI_V1.5_1423_10_ST_K910.
Was this on OTA update Or did you get this from needrom? Is it stable?
Also, is there some step-by-step guide in English to flash this ROM? Could you please share details as to how you did it...
Thanks a lot for the help,
Rooting K910 with VibeUI 1.5
Hi Michael,
I went through the forum. But I could not see anyone talking about rooting the latest version of the ROM that you (and I) have installed. Were you able to root it? How are you able to run Google play on it?
OTA update as provided by Lenovo
Thanks Michael. I will try going through the forum as you suggested.

A week after the U.S. Senate passed a health-care reform bill on Christmas Eve, health-care providers and consumers are trying to figure out what the proposed reform could mean for them.
Health-care providers agree reform is needed, but opinions vary on what form that reform should take. Some parts of the Senate bill are on the right track, they said, and some come up short.
Democrats in a party-line vote.
"They can't lose a single Senate vote," he said. "The writing on the wall seems to be that if they don't come up with something very, very close to the Senate version, they can't pass it."
It's unclear how states will be able to pay their share, said John Littel, executive vice president of Amerigroup Corp., so he expects many changes to the final version.
The Senate bill will bring health insurance to millions of uninsured Americans, a huge victory for the uninsured, said Janice "Jay" Johnson, chairwoman of the Virginia Organizing Project, which aims to spur residents to take action on quality-of-life issues.
"Patients will be able to get good care, without being concerned that they're going to be turned away," said Johnson, a Newport News resident.
Many of those will be covered through Medicaid and CHIP, the Children's Health Insurance Program, but that won't happen until 2014, Littel said. Based in Virginia Beach, Amerigroup works with 11 states to administer Medicaid, CHIP and Medicare programs.
Johnson said she's disappointed the Senate version left out the government-run health insurance plan, or public option.
"It's a good starting place," she said of the Senate bill, "considering the fact that this country has been waiting so long for meaningful health-care legislation."
Reform might bring cuts to Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement to doctors and hospitals, which might reduce patients' access to providers, Broermann said.
"That, to me, is the biggest risk," he said.
That's also a concern of Dr. James Lesnick, a neurosurgeon and medical director of Riverside Medical Group. With millions of uninsured Americans now able to access health care, there could be a shortage of physicians, he said.
Riverside Medical Group originally formed to address a shortage of medical professionals by recruiting and retaining physicians, and the group is taking steps now to anticipate that demand, he said.
Also, part of the intention behind reform is to stop the rapidly escalating cost of medical care, so physicians and health systems must look for ways to provide better care more efficiently, Lesnick said.
The expansion of insurance coverage brings into question the role of free clinics, said Jim Shaw, co-founder of the Lackey Free Clinic in York County.
