As adware continues to annoy computer users, efforts to crack down on ad-serving software have begun to focus on the advertisers behind some of the pop-ups.
New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, whose office has sued two major adware vendors, has threatened to come after advertisers. An affidavit filed last week with Mr. Spitzer's lawsuit against Internet marketer Direct Revenue named some large companies that continue to advertise through adware. (Direct Revenue, for its part, has said the case is "baseless" and focused on the company's past practices.) FTC Commissioner Jonathan Leibowitz recently proposed "shaming" companies that advertise through adware by publishing their names.
But what responsibility do advertisers have when it comes to adware? The Wall Street Journal Online asked Ari Schwartz, deputy director of the Center for Democracy and Technology, and Eric Goldman, a law professor at Marquette University, to discuss the ethical issues and legal risks. Their exchange, carried out over email, is below.
Mr. Schwartz writes: I think that it is important to start this debate by outlining points on which I hope we can agree:
- Advertising on the Internet has helped to provide content and services that consumers want and to which they may not otherwise have access;
- Online advertising networks and intermediaries are important players in keeping online advertising efficient and reasonably priced;
- Despite those benefits, there are advertising software companies that have engaged in illegal and unethical practices -- for example by forcing installation of their adware without any user consent; tricking consumers into installing their software; and designing their software so that it is extremely difficult for ordinary Internet users to remove (the Pew Internet & American Life study and NCSA/AOL report discuss these harms in more detail); and
The Participants
Ari Schwartz is the deputy director of the Center for Democracy and Technology, a nonprofit civil-liberties group where he runs the Anti-Spyware Coalition. He promotes privacy protections in the digital age and expanding access to government information via the Internet, and has testified before Congress on those issues. Prior to working at CDT, he was an analyst at OMB Watch, a nonprofit group that promotes government accountability and citizen participation.
Eric Goldman is an assistant professor at Marquette University Law School. Prior to joining Marquette in 2002, he practiced Internet law in the Silicon Valley for eight years, first at Cooley Godward LLP and then as general counsel of Epinions.com, a comparison-shopping site. His research focuses on online marketing techniques such as adware, spam and search engine marketing, and he writes a blog on these topics.
- Major, respected companies continue to pay to have their products and services promoted by adware distributors that are either currently engaged in illegal and/or unethical behavior, or else built their businesses on illegal and/or unethical acts before adopting more legitimate business models.
Where we seem to diverge is on the extent to which advertisers and advertising networks should assume responsibility for ensuring that their partners do not engage in illegal and unethical practices.
I do believe that companies should be taking reasonable steps to ensure that their business partners aren't engaged in illegal activity. In a case where an advertiser knowingly funds an adware distributor's illegal activities, that advertiser could be held liable for those practices depending on the circumstances.
But even in instances where major companies that advertise through unethical or illegal adware products may not be held legally responsible for the actions of those companies, we believe it is in their best interests to take a more hands-on approach to policing their own arrangements with adware distributors for two reasons: basic business ethics and brand name integrity.
Mr. Goldman replies: I agree with Ari's characterization of these points. Advertising has social utility. Intermediaries can help realize that value by efficiently matching advertisers with interested consumers. Some intermediaries have engaged in aggressive and even illegal activities to facilitate that matchmaking. And reputable advertisers have had ads delivered by intermediaries who use aggressive/illegal tactics.
However, this process is hardly new or unique. In each emerging marketing medium, aggressive marketers will always test limits, and some will cross the line. From my perspective, the question is: how should we conform unwanted marketer behavior? There are many choices, including government regulation, technological developments, industry self-regulation and consumer education.
I believe Ari is suggesting that advertisers should bear some responsibility to police or conform adware vendors' aggressive or illegal behavior. To help explore this argument, we should distinguish why we expect advertisers to have a policing role. Is it because:
- Advertisers bear some "moral" or ethical responsibility for adware vendors' behavior?
- Existing law makes advertisers liable for what adware vendors do?
- Social policy would improve if we changed the law to make advertisers responsible?
I think there would be some value to clarifying existing law. To my knowledge, other than the federal Can-Spam law regarding spam, no existing legal doctrines make advertisers liable for the behavior of the marketers who run their ads. I believe this holds true for advertisers' liability for adware vendors' behavior, although this is just beginning to be legally tested.
Do you see existing law differently? If we agree about the existing law, then we can focus on what we each think is moral or what would constitute beneficial developments in the law.
Mr. Schwartz: You raise important questions. Taking your last point first: "existing law makes advertisers liable for what adware vendors do."
The Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general have established that the most egregious adware distributors are violating existing consumer protection law by misleading consumers into downloading unwanted and potentially dangerous software. In a case where an advertiser knowingly advertised through unwanted adware and actively encouraged continuation of illegal practices that harm consumers, we believe that advertiser could certainly be held liable under existing law.
Share Your View
What responsibility do advertisers have for the way their ads are delivered? Join a discussion.
There are other instances -- in descending order of concern -- that could also trigger liability:
- Companies that knowingly advertised and purposely neglected illegal practices;
- Companies that knowingly advertised and unknowingly neglected illegal practices;
- Companies that unknowingly advertised (ads were placed by several layers of intermediaries), and took no steps to ensure that they are not advertising with companies engaged in illegal practices; and
- Companies that unknowingly advertised (ads were placed by several layers of intermediaries), have taken steps to ensure that they are not advertising with companies engaged in illegal practices, but did not have adequate compliance mechanisms in place to prevent the advertisement from appearing.
Those at the bottom of this list are clearly unlikely to be prosecuted by law enforcement, but it does call to question whether the lack of compliance is worth the risk.
But for us the issues surrounding business ethics and brand concerns are much clearer. We absolutely believe that companies have an ethical responsibility not to fund illegal and unethical practices that harm consumers. FTC Commissioner Leibowitz has intimated that the commission could name names of advertisers doing business with unethical adware purveyors, and Mr. Spitzer has already done so in a major complaint against Direct Revenue filed earlier this month.
My question for you is this: Why on earth would a major company with a valuable brand take the risk of association with the practices of those rogue outliers? Isn't it worth the extra diligence that companies such as Time Warner and Priceline.com are now taking to protect their brand from association with a scurrilous distributor?
Mr. Goldman: It was helpful for you to posit a spectrum of legality of advertiser practices. I think we agree about the spectrum's end points. At one end, an advertiser can be legally liable for adware vendors' illegal behavior when the advertiser has sufficient knowledge of and control over the vendor's behavior. At the other end, an advertiser generally is not liable for a vendor's acts when the advertiser doesn't know what the vendor is doing and cannot control those acts.
However, we may not agree where advertisers fall on this spectrum. Personally, I think most adware advertisers clearly fall into the no-liability portion of the spectrum. Many adware advertisers use third-party advertising representatives or agencies to place ads, so advertisers may not know where their ads are running.
Further, even if advertisers know that their ads are running via adware, the advertisers may not know if the adware vendors are complying with the law. Many adware vendors have complex and disparate business practices, many of which are clearly legal. It would be very costly, and usually irresolute, for advertisers to attempt to judge the legality of adware vendors' behavior. (Efforts like TRUSTe's Trusted Download program are designed to overcome this information gap).
Therefore, many advertisers do not come anywhere close to having enough knowledge of, or control over, adware vendors' behavior to hold them legally liable under existing legal principles.
But, as you point out, an advertiser's choices, even if lawful, may adversely affect consumers perceptions about the advertiser. Indeed, as you point out, various organizations, including yours, are publicizing advertisers who run ads via adware. However, this publicity helps consumers only if they know what to do with the information. [Editor's note: The CDT's report, "Following the Money," is available here.]
But consumers may not know what to do, as illustrated by an offline analogy. Assume that a Yellow Pages publisher hires independent contractors to distribute Yellow Pages books. Some of those independent contractors commit trespass to real property by impermissibly distributing the books on homeowners' properties. Should the advertisers in those Yellow Pages be legally liable for the independent contractors' trespass? Should consumers boycott those advertisers because of the trespass? If you answer no to both questions, then should we hold adware advertisers to a different standard than advertisers in the Yellow Pages?
Mr. Schwartz: I think your Yellow Pages analogy is simply off base, because it minimizes the scope of the harm caused by malicious adware distributors. If a company that published Yellow Pages directories maintained a business model for years that openly encouraged (and even helped) independent distributors to shatter "customers'" closed windows and drop the books in their living rooms while they slept, we would certainly be calling on legitimate advertisers to boycott that publisher.
A better analogy would be: A company begins paying third parties to build billboards on other people's property with cameras that track movements on the property. Some third parties do this without consent and the billboard company neglects to stop the third parties and in some cases actively encourages them.
Over time it becomes incumbent on the advertisers to stop advertising with the billboard companies or they will be seen as negligent in the court of law or public opinion depending on the circumstances.
Don't take my word on it though. While the CDT is making sure that companies know that they are advertising in this way, the bigger legal threat comes from the prosecutors who are telling advertisers that they are liable, even at the bottom level of the chain that I identified. [In a recent speech] Ken Dreifach, chief of the Internet bureau in the New York state attorney general's office, said, "You don't want to ever assume that the existence of intermediaries, whether it's two or six, is going to immunize you from liability."
Mr. Goldman: If the appropriate legal inquiry is the advertiser's knowledge of and control over adware vendors' behavior, then the quantum of harm caused by the adware vendor shouldn't affect the existence of legal liability. If advertisers have the requisite level of knowledge and control, then it doesn't really matter if the adware vendor does only a little damage or a lot of damage -- the advertiser should be liable. But this equation works in reverse too -- if the adware vendor does horrible damage but the advertiser lacks the requisite knowledge and control, the advertiser should not be legally liable.
As for the branding implications for consumers, adware has gotten such bad press that consumers may immediately assume a taint-by-association with adware. Some of this bad press is entirely deserved, but adware vendors vary widely in their practices, and not all industry practices are bad. Some adware vendors get fairly robust levels of consumer consent, and some consumers may even value their adware (either directly because the ads are useful or because the consumer likes the bundled offerings and accepts the adware as its price). Therefore, I think it does a great disservice to adware vendors, advertisers and consumers to prey on the taint-by-association that has developed.
I recognize that many consumer advocates, including the New York attorney general's office, want to find a legal theory that hold advertisers liable for adware vendors' actions. However, I have yet to find anyone who has clearly explained how advertisers are liable based on current law and prevailing advertiser practices. This includes the New York attorney general's office.
As a result, I interpret sweeping "advertisers might be liable" remarks as saber-rattling that may not be consistent with existing legal precedents. This would not be the first time that government actors have tried to jawbone an industry into doing what it wants, even if that jawboning lacks any legal support and therefore may exceed government authority.
Mr. Schwartz: If I worked for a major advertiser and had any concern about my brand, I wouldn't be risking a civil suit by walking as close as I could to the legal line, even if counsel thought the company could win a court case. The law as it applies to advertisers is going to be taken on a case-by-case basis. What is completely clear, however, is the ethical harm and brand damage that can come as a result of doing business with unethical adware distributors.
Consumers already annoyed about pop-up ads rightly become outraged when they learn that companies they've never heard of …have installed ad-serving programs on their machines without their consent -- degrading their computer's performance and sending information about their browsing habits back to the company.
Because of the way that adware works (popping up ads over sites that you want to see while you are already on the Web), most consumers will not know if a particular advertisement came from the Web site or from an adware program that they do not want. This lack of attribution has led many advertisers to get the wrong idea about how most consumers are actually responding to their ads. Many seem only to measure the success of these campaigns by the number of "click-throughs" they receive via a pop-up.
Yet, the current campaign to publicly shame advertisers that continue to work with companies that have not gotten the active consent of consumers, and to place liability for their actions, turns the current incentives on their heads. It is no longer worthwhile to advertise through one of these channels just because the price is right -- or not to spend the money to develop an advertising policy and audit current advertising practices.
Even in the cases where a company's liability in court is minor, the potential for long-term brand damage in being tied to a company charged with unethical, illegal and sometimes criminal acts far outweighs the short-term benefits of actively, or even passively, advertising through questionable channels.
Mr. Goldman concludes: I'd like to revisit some of our points of agreement. First, we agreed that some adware vendors have violated existing law. Illegal vendors should be legally accountable for these actions. Private and government enforcement actions can correct this behavior, and several corrective actions have been undertaken already.
Second, we agreed that advertisers may face adverse branding consequences for running ads via adware. I remain concerned that some consumers overreact to the publicity based on a general adware taint-by-association. However, in general, consumers can and should vote with their dollars if they don't like an advertiser's practices.
Collectively, legal enforcement and angry consumers will curb adware vendors' bad practices and discourage advertisers from supporting them. With these powerful effects, I fail to see why advertiser liability is needed as yet another tool to attack illegal adware vendor behavior.
Meanwhile, advertising plays a valuable role in our information economy. Advertising helps fund the creation of socially beneficial content and services, and it facilitates marketplace competition between marketers. These benefits accrue in offline media like newspapers, television and radio, and these benefits accrue in online media including adware. We should be careful not to lose these valuable consequences. Expansive liability doctrines could do just that.
Finally, any differences between the treatment of online and offline media should be justified. I don't think we would hold a newspaper advertiser responsible -- either from a legal or branding perspective -- for any bad acts by the newspaper. If so, I remain unclear why we should treat adware advertisers differently.

Thanks a lot, moneymen
This has nothing to do with people buying multiple copies. Retailers pay for exclusives to get people in their doors. Paramount/Bad Robot would be stupid not to give the retailers what they want.
I'm sure it's been gone through ad infinitum and I don't want to derail this thread more than the current de-railing it's currently undergoing but retailers are stupid if they think DVD/Blu Ray extras are going to sway me from one store to another.
Personally, I LOVE a blooper reel and deleted scenes, they're my priority when it comes to extras.
But if they think I'm going to suddenly change my routine just to get them (either trek across town to a store that's one of the chain that has the DVD with those extras or change from physically purchasing to digitally purchasing, etc) then nope, like the majority of people I'm going to buy the main thing I intend to purchase (the film), see what extras I get then whine loudly about it on the internet until this B.S practice stops.
It's just the latest marketing gimmick from a dying industry trying to stave off death for yet another day.
Hopefully when a few more of these stores fall by the wayside there'll only be 1 main physical purchaser to go along with itunes and netflix and hopefully the extras roast won't have to be so thinly calved next time.
I don't care what anyone thinks, when I hit the iceberg the iceberg sinks!

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: What to Do When Wind Doesn't Perform as Promised
Wind generation is unpredictable. Seldom is the production exactly equal to the specified rate. It reminds me of Goldilocks and the three bears, "Too hot, too cold, but seldom just right." Most utility approach unscheduled flows of electricity by punishing the provider for any imbalance. "Heads the utility wins. Tails the generator looses." A better approach uses the total imbalance on the utility to determine how imbalances are priced. Continue reading

I wanted my piano students to have a quick and easy reference for all scale and arpeggio fingerings, but I didn't feel that an entire book should be necessary, nor did I want to continue writing fingerings into their notebooks.
Using colors to show fingerings that are the same from one scale/arpeggio to another, I created this double-sided card, which shows hands-together fingerings in the simplest and most compact possible way for all of the following hands together parallel scales and arpeggios:
- all 48 major/minor scales
- all 24 major/minor arpeggios
- all 12 dominant 7th arpeggios
- all 7 ways to play the 3 diminished 7th arpeggios
- three fingerings for the chromatic scale
- two fingerings for chromatic minor thirds
- Before laminating, the paper is trimmed down to 6.75″ x 9.5″ (or about 17×24 cm)
- Laminated margins are cut down to 1/8″ – the final is small enough to act as a big bookmark for students' sheet music or notebook.
- Laminated with 5mil thickness – very sturdy. My students' cards still look brand new after years of use.
- The laminated corners are rounded.
- Great for evaluations and auditions, or for day-to-day use by students during normal practicing.
- The front of the card also includes instructions for late beginners to be able to quickly play 4-octave hands-together scales.

Having reduced its staffing levels by 1,580 in a year, Royal Air Maroc says its restructuring programme is in its final stages and ahead of schedule.
The figure is 80 more than the target set by Morocco's flag carrier in a bid to help it reduce its operating costs by €100 million ($134 million) a year.
The carrier has suspended around twenty loss-making routes between Europe and Morocco, on which it faced competition from low-cost carriers, and grounded a number of aircraft. These comprise six Boeing 737s classics and two Airbus A321s, and more recent recently a further two A321s earlier this month.
But the airline is still maintaining its aircraft acquisition programme. Since November 2011 it has received four new Boeing 737-800s and expects to receive two ATR 72-600s in the coming weeks.
Royal Air Maroc says its felt the effects of the Arab Spring less severely than other North African carriers, pointing to a drop of in traffic of only 2% during the crisis in comparison to the previous year.

That sounds rather like Harry Potter's younger days when he "slept in the closet under the stairs." But last night's Chef's Table dinner in the "Pantry" was anything but Harry's closet; it was a lovely dinner served at the Chef's demo kitchen in Cook's Pantry in Rochester where talented team of Jon Dykeman and Holly Mangelsen, owners of Tesora Restaurant in Siren WI and Cook's Pantry of Rochester served a four course dinner paired with wines from Tessa's Office: Wine Boutique, Spirits and Beer served by Sommelier Barbara Claire Pitcher, President of Pairing to Perfection and manager of Tessa's Office. Our nine guests were wonderful, fun and brought great questions to the sweeping marble demo counter/dinner table.
The Menu
1st Course ~ Truffle-scented Ahi Tuna Tartar paired with Pehu Simonet
3rd Course ~ choice of Miso-Ginger glazed Rotisserie Duckling with Wasabi potato mash or Honey-kissed Tenderloin with Cippolini potato mash and demi-glaze both paired with Cambiata Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir
4th Course ~ Caramelized white chocolate Fondue with fresh Strawberries paired with Chateau Menota Graves Superieures
Hopefully there will be more fun Chef's Dinners to share here soon. In the meantime, if you are looking for the new "must have" for your kitchen, go to Chef's Pantry to checkout their stock of Sous Vide cookers. AMAZING! If you'd like help pairing wine for your next dinner, drop by Tessa's Office:Wine Boutique, Spirits & Beer.

In the depths of the worst recession since the Great Depression, he managed to beat out nearly 1,400 others for a job.
Talk about some long odds.
"It was pretty nerve-racking to think of that amount of competition and all the highly-qualified individuals that were applying for the job," Hoover said. "I had hoped but I didn't want to get my hopes up too high."

Earlier this year, the city of Tacoma, Wash. advertised an opening for a water and electricity meter reader in its utility department. Applications immediately started to flood the utility. More than 100 a day were submitted. All these people would need to take civil service tests.
Almost immediately, customer service supervisor Mike Sorum said, "we knew we were going to need a bigger building."
Instead of the local veterans hall, which can hold up to 200, the utility turned to the Tacoma Dome Exhibition Hall, a much larger space that also required the rental of tables and chairs. Job seekers had to pay $8 to park. The utility did not respond to requests about the cost of renting the hall, but the space can rent out for up to $15,000 a day, plus another $3,000 to use the parking lot.
The job pays $37,000 to $49,000 a year. That means the city might have spent almost six months' salary on its search. That's a lot of effort just to fill one job.
"It is," Sorum said. "We do these tests about every two years and the numbers fluctuate depending on the economy obviously."
Two years ago the utility only had 600 applicants.
It is a scene being played out all across the country and job fairs are swamped by those looking for employment.
Since the recession began in December 2007, 5.1 million American jobs have been lost, including 3.3 million in just the last five months. March alone saw 663,000 jobs cut.
In Tacoma, Sorum and the other employees in charge of filling the position started preparing to weed through the applicants. First came the exam. Anybody who had a high-school diploma and at least one year of general customer-service experience was allowed to test. That was all but 100 of the applicants.
Ultimately about 800 people showed up for either the morning or afternoon testing sessions.
"There were a lot of people commenting on the number of people and the odds of actually getting this one position," Sorum said. "It does seem like a lot to go through, but it is a civil service position and it is an entry-level position so the minimum requirements are fairly basic and everybody that qualifies, we give the opportunity."
The former holder of the job quit to become a stay-at-home mom.
Every type of worker applied for the position: restaurant workers, former managers at technology companies and even some former firefighters.
"The applicants were from just about every profession that you could think of," Sorum said. "A lot of them had just recently lost their positions due to layoffs."
Meter reader jobs start at $37,000 a year for temporary workers and go up to $49,000 a year plus benefits. The job involves walking from house to house and reading electric and water meters. It can involve up to 14 miles of walking a day.

New Jersey prison inmates with the ability to do so would be required to pay the state for the cost of their imprisonment, under legislation introduced by Sen. James Beach (D- Camden).
The proposal, S-2809, would require the Department of Corrections to establish and collect an annual fee from inmates. The fee established by the bill would be equivalent to the average cost to the department of incarcerating an inmate for one year.
"It now costs the state of New Jersey an average of $38,700 a year to house an inmate in the state prison system," Beach said. "Given the current state of our finances and the burden already borne by our taxpayers, it makes sense that we tap into the assets of our prison population to help defray the cost of their imprisonment."
The fee set by the bill is to be pro-rated for prisoners incarcerated for 334 days or less. The calculation of the number of days of imprisonment would include time served prior to conviction.
"The state conducts a pre-sentencing investigation of people convicted of breaking the law," Beach said. "The determination of an inmate's ability to pay – their assets, liabilities and dependents – would be based on information contained in the pre-sentence investigation report and findings and orders of the sentencing court."
The bill grants the commissioner discretion to waive or reduce the fee if a prisoner's financial situation changes subsequent to the preparation of the pre-sentence investigation report and the inmate is no longer able to pay the fee and is unlikely to become able to pay. The fee can also be waived if it would unduly burden the prisoner's dependents. The measure authorizes the Corrections Department to file a lien against the property of a prisoner to ensure payment of the fee. The bill would make the fees collected available for use in alcohol and drug abuse prevention programs.

By placing a sculpture of an acrobat in his tomb, Sa-Inher declared that he had sufficient wealth to enjoy such diversions throughout eternity. This acrobat is portrayed performing a backbend.

About the Duke JMSA
The Jewish Medical Student Association engages the shared cultural and religious backgrounds of Jewish medical students to search for a deeper of understanding of what it means to be a Jewish Doctor. To that end, JMSA conducts programs that promote an ethic of service, that facilitate frank discussion of medical ethics, and that explore topics in Judaism relevant to doctoring.
Additionally, JMSA helps strengthen ties within the Duke/UNC Jewish Community by holding social events with other Jewish professional student organizations, by helping to connect medical school students with Jewish faculty members, and by creating networking opportunities.
Finally, as a minority interest group, JMSA serves as a front line educational resource for members of the Duke Health Community who may be unfamiliar with Judaism, and as such all JMSA activities are conducted in an intentionally inclusive manner.
We will be having a Medical Student Shabbat on Friday, March 6. Click here to see other upcoming events!

It's not every team that can sign a guy who is coming off a year with a 1.92 Rc/27.
Worst RC/27 in the 21st century, 150 PA min

The Regional Medical Officer/Psychiatry Career
The U.S. Department of State is the lead foreign affairs agency formulating and implementing the President's foreign policy and representing U.S. interests throughout the world. Foreign Service Regional Medical Officers/Psychiatrists are presently serving in Accra, Amman, Athens, Bangkok, Beijing, Bogota, Cairo, Dakar, Frankfurt, Jakarta, Lima, London, Manama, Mexico City, Moscow, Nairobi, New Delhi, Pretoria, Tokyo, Vienna, and the District of Columbia among other locations. RMO/Ps also serve on temporary duty in high threat locations (e.g., Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan and Yemen etc.) and in post-disaster environments (e.g., post-earthquake Haiti, etc). While the preference of an applicant for a particular post or area of assignment is given consideration, all assignments are dictated by "the needs of the service."
The Foreign Service is more than a job – it's a career. As a member of a diplomatic team, you will not only help to accomplish the mission of the Department of State, but also will be a representative of your country to the people of other nations. A Foreign Service career involves uncommon commitments and occasional hardships, as well as unique rewards and opportunities. A decision to enter this career should be based on extraordinary motivation and a firm dedication to public service.
Many overseas posts are in small or remote countries where harsh climates, health hazards, and other discomforts exist and where American-style amenities and the latest in technological advances often are unavailable. Personal security frequently becomes an area of concern in countries where there is political unrest or terrorist activity. However, careers in the Foreign Service offer special rewards, including the pride and satisfaction of representing the United States and protecting U.S. interests abroad.
The Foreign Service strives to maintain diversity in the representation of gender, geographic region, race and ethnicity within its work force.
The Office of Medical Services in the Department of State maintains and promotes the health of employees and their accompanying family members who represent United States government agencies abroad. The Department assigns Foreign Service Medical Officers/Psychiatrists, Medical Officers, Medical Providers, and Medical Laboratory Scientists to selected posts overseas. Many of these posts have significant health risks and local medical care that is inadequate by U.S. standards.
The Foreign Service Medical Officer/Psychiatrist is responsible for providing mental health care to members of the official American community in multiple countries within a regional geographic area.
All applicants, in order to be considered for selection, must:
NOTE: Individuals who have been found unsuitable for employment by a Department of State Final Review Panel for Suitability within the previous two years are ineligible to apply (unless the individual was a candidate for a Special Agent position with the Diplomatic Security Service and the decision to deny eligibility was based on the candidate's inability to fulfill the unique duties of that position and not based on suitability standards).
For more details see http://careers.state.gov/work/foreign-service/specialist/selection-process or http://www.state.gov/m/a/dir/regs/fam.
Serving in support of the employees of the United States government and their eligible family members, the Regional Medical Officer/Psychiatrist (RMO/P) may work independently or in conjunction with other Foreign Service medical personnel. The RMO/P duties include implementing the following procedures at each post of responsibility:
A career in the Foreign Service involves uncommon commitment and could include extreme hardship along with unique rewards and opportunities. A decision to enter this career must involve unusual motivation, and a firm dedication to public service. In addition to living and serving in the United States as with all Foreign Service positions, living and serving overseas is mandatory. Many overseas posts are in small or remote countries where harsh climates, health hazards, and other discomforts exist, and where American-style amenities frequently are unavailable.
Foreign Service Medical Specialists (RMOs, RMO/Ps, MPs, and RMLSs) are responsible for Department of State medical and safety policies, provision of a range of medical services, management of Health Unit operations, supervision of subordinate staff, and the actual performance of all of the following essential functions in addition to routine family care:
The essential RMO, RMO/P, and MP functions of providing emergency care include the following responsibilities:
Education Requirements:
DEGREE: Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathy degree from a school in the United States or Canada approved by a recognized accrediting body in the year of the applicant's graduation. A Doctor of Medicine degree or equivalency degree from a foreign medical school that provided educational and medical knowledge substantially equivalent to accredited schools in the United States may be demonstrated by permanent certification by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) or a fifth pathway certificate for Americans who completed premedical education in the United States and graduate education in a foreign county.
GRADUATE TRAINING: The applicant must have completed an internship and psychiatric residency training program approved by a recognized accrediting body within the United States or Canada.
Applicants must have a current, valid, and unrestricted license to practice medicine in a state, the District of Columbia, or a territory of the United States. Applications will not be accepted from psychiatrists who are not licensed. The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology must certify applicants in psychiatry. Board certification and re-certification must be maintained.
Applicants must have a current board certification by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (APBN) and have a minimum of five (5) years of post-residency clinical experience in adult or child/adolescent psychiatry with at least 50% of the applicant's time involved in direct patient care during the last 6 years.
Applicants with only four years of clinical experience beyond residency may apply for a position, in anticipation of completing the five-year requirement at the time of appointment. All experience will be evaluated on an individual basis.
Applicants must be able to integrate clinical, administrative and management skills to effectively meet the mental health needs of U.S. Foreign Service employees and their eligible family members assigned overseas. Regional Medical Officer/Psychiatrists must be skilled and experienced clinicians able to gain the confidence of their patients, co-workers and supervisors, and capable of working independently in complex and difficult situations.
Applicants must be a skilled and experienced practitioner with excellent interpersonal skills. Applicant must be able to function well within a complex organization and have experience working in a high stress environment. The individual must be able to recognize and treat a wide range of mental health disorders and manage the special challenges of providing care to a diverse population, scattered over a large geographical area where local medical and mental health resources may be limited or non-existent. Clinical experience in child/adolescent psychiatric, marital/family therapy, cross cultural psychiatry, crisis intervention and substance abuse is desirable.
The applicant must be able to provide expert consultation and guidance to Foreign Service Medical Officers and other medical personnel with varying backgrounds and levels of training.
Applicants with experience in team building, leadership, and management in a multidisciplinary setting are preferred. Applicants must have effective written and oral communication skills and the ability to present findings in a clear and concise manner to both medical and non-medical personnel. Public speaking skills as well as knowledge and hands-on familiarity of computer systems and software are also desirable qualities.
The RMO/P's patient population is unique because of background and lifestyle as part of a diplomatic community overseas. This population also differs in terms of clinical and administrative needs and the national security concerns inherent in their employment. Previous experience working in an occupational setting and/or in an overseas setting is advantageous. The successful applicant will have an understanding of the challenges of consulting in a non-medical environment.
Education, work experience and other qualifications are evaluated for evidence of the following knowledge, skills, abilities and other requirements that have been identified as important to successful job performance as a Regional Medical Officer/Psychiatrist based on extensive job analysis research. Not all of these attributes need to be met by a candidate; the attributes will be used as a set to evaluate candidates.
Other requirements - worldwide available, tolerance of intensive world travel, living away from family, and working and living in difficult and/or isolated conditions.
In addition to the general requirements for employment in the Foreign Service, an applicant must have a Doctor of Medicine degree or equivalent degree at the time of appointment, as stipulated below, and be able to pass a writing skills assessment which may be conducted following successful completion of the initial review stage and qualifications review panel. The panel will recommend the most competitive candidates be invited to take a proctored writing examination. The ability to draft an essay which will demonstrate a command of English grammar, spelling, and punctuation will be an important consideration in determining which candidates to invite to an oral assessment, which is explained further on our website, careers.state.gov, under Selection Process.

WWII veteran gets lost dog tags returned after 30 years
PHOENIX -- A World War II veteran who donated his dog tags over 30 years ago got a big surprise Friday.
In 1981, Jack D. Shippey donated his tags to the museum at the Air Force's Non-Commissioned Officers school, but when the museum changed locations, his tags were lost.
The Shippey family contacted U.S. Congressman Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., for help, after coming up empty handed for eight years.
Gosar's staff worked with the museum's curator and presented Shippey with his lost dog tags.
"Since he [Shippey] lost his wife, the only thing he has been asking for the past few years is his dog tags," Shippey's daughter, Suzanne DeVlieger, said in a press released. "Now he has them."
Gosar said it was a privilege to return the tags to Shippey, who "served our nation honorably during World War II and then came home to start a family and build a life, including a successful career."
Shippey joined the Air Force in November 1942. He was deployed in 1943 and 1944. He left active duty in 1945, after accumulating 1,721 flight hours.

Originally written on Steelers Depot | Last updated 5/4/13
As you are probably well aware of by now, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders made the ESPN rounds this week and one of those stops included him being a guest on the Dan LeBatard is Highly Questionable show. Sanders talked about his humble beginnings that included having to eat ketchup and mayonnaise sandwiches as a child. Sanders also talks about how he had a temper in high school and had to learn how to control it. I am pretty sure you will be crying yourself, or him, a river after watching this. Also, not really.

Music superstar Queen Latifah is so "right on the money", about nature preservation. She narrates this documentation of our Earth's dwindling resources; Such creatures as the seal and the polar bear, are vastly crowding together to find shelter and food. You feel for Nanu,and the other animals,as you watch them go through desperate struggles. The World belongs to us,as well as the living things around us. We should be considerate and conservative of our "blessings".

The $2.3 million fMRI scanner, funded by the Georgia State University Research Foundation, Georgia Tech Research Institute, and the Georgia Research Alliance through the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience, is housed in a 6,000 square-foot facility with a 6-inch thick floor to hold the massive equipment. The machine's magnetic power is rated at 3 Tesla a unit measuring the strength of a magnetic field which provides the power to observe details of electrical impulses and pathways in the brain. The MRI scanner is twice as powerful as conventional MRI scanners operating at 1.5 Tesla, and 60,000 times stronger than the earth's magnetic field.
The machine will run 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week to accommodate not only researchers from Georgia State and Georgia Tech, but researchers from other institutions who wish to use it.
The CABI also includes facilities for transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, which is a strong magnet that applies bursts to the outside of the head to temporarily disrupt a portion of the brain, giving researchers a way to study the roles of different brain regions.
