Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a general term that refers to infection and inflammation of the upper genital tract in women. It can affect the uterus (womb), fallopian tubes (tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus), ovaries, and other organs related to reproduction. The scarring that results on these organs can lead to infertility, tubal (ectopic) pregnancy, chronic pelvic pain, abscesses (sores containing pus), and other serious problems. PID is the most common preventable cause of infertility in the United States.
Women at greater risk for PID include those at risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and those with a prior episode of PID. Sexually active women under age 25 are at risk as well because the cervix (opening to the uterus) of teens and young women has greater susceptibility to STDs. This may be because the cervix of teenage girls and young women is not fully matured, increasing their risk for STDs linked to PID.
Other potential risk factors include douching. Douching can change the vaginal flora and can force bacteria from the vagina into the upper reproductive organs. In some women, using an intrauterine device (IUD) to prevent pregnancy can also cause PID. Rarely, PID results from gynecological procedures or surgeries.
In the United States, it is estimated that more than 750.000 women suffer from an episode of acute PID each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Up to 10 to 15 percent of women may become infertile as a result of PID.
Although many different microbes (germs) can cause PID, many cases of PID are associated with gonorrhea and chlamydia, two very common sexually transmitted diseases caused by bacteria.
Even if you have PID, you might not have symptoms. If you do have symptoms, they could be severe. The most common symptom of PID is pain in your lower abdomen. Other symptoms that you may or may not have include
Sometimes PID comes on suddenly with extreme pain and fever, especially if it is caused by gonorrhea.
PID can be difficult for your healthcare provider to diagnose because symptoms can be subtle and mild and similar to those of some other diseases. If you think you might have PID, you should get medical care promptly because early treatment can limit long-term complications such as infertility and chronic pelvic pain.
If you have symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, your healthcare provider will perform a physical exam, including a pelvic (internal) exam, to find out the nature and location of the pain. Your healthcare provider also will check for
Health experts have found that about 70 percent of chlamydial and 50 percent of gonococcal infections do not cause symptoms in women. These infections were found first through screening. You should get regular laboratory tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, urinary tract infection, and if appropriate, pregnancy. Your healthcare provider may suggest these tests as part of a routine annual exam as well as tests for HIV infection and syphilis.
If necessary, your healthcare provider may do other tests such as a sonogram, endometrial (uterine) biopsy, or laparoscopy to distinguish between PID and other serious problems that can mimic PID.
Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure in which a tube is inserted through a small incision near your navel. This allows your healthcare provider to view the internal organs in the abdomen and pelvis and to take specimens to examine in the laboratory.
back to top
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), healthcare providers should start treating sexually active young women and other women at risk for STIs if they have motion tenderness of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, or cervix. Without adequate treatment, 20 to 40 percent of women with chlamydia and 10 to 40 percent of women with gonorrhea may develop PID.
Many different bacteria may cause an episode of PID. Therefore, your healthcare provider will prescribe antibiotics (generally two at once, by injection or by mouth) that are effective against a wide range of bacteria, including those causing chlamydia and gonorrhea. You should begin treatment as soon as your healthcare provider diagnoses PID because you may prevent getting complications of the disease by taking antibiotics immediately.
Women who douche may have higher risk of developing PID. Douching can change the vaginal flora and can force bacteria from the vagina into the upper reproductive organs.
Even if your symptoms go away, you should finish taking all of the medicine. You also should return to your healthcare provider two to three days after beginning the medicine to be sure the antibiotics are working.
Your healthcare provider may recommend going into the hospital to treat your PID if you
If your symptoms continue or if an abscess does not go away, you may need surgery.
Complications of PID such as chronic pelvic pain and scarring are difficult to treat, but sometimes they improve with surgery.
Many sex partners may be infected with bacteria that cause PID and do not know it because they do not have symptoms. To protect yourself from being re-infected with bacteria that cause PID, you should discuss this with your healthcare provider.
For updated information on treatment for PID, read the CDC STD Treatment Guidelines.
The surest way to avoid getting or transmitting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is to abstain from sex or to be in a long-term, mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and isn't infected. Condoms, when used consistently and correctly, can reduce your risk of getting chlamydia and gonorrhea.
In addition, you can protect yourself from PID by getting treated quickly if you do get an STD.
The most common preventable cause of PID is an untreated STD, mainly chlamydia or gonorrhea. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends yearly chlamydia testing of all sexually active women age 25 or younger and older women with risk factors for chlamydia (those who have a new sex partner or many sex partners). If you have had chlamydia, you also should be re-tested several months after completing treatment so you can be re-treated, if necessary.
Prompt and appropriate treatment can help prevent complications of PID. Without treatment, PID can cause permanent damage to the female reproductive organs. Infection-causing bacteria can silently invade the fallopian tubes, causing normal tissue to turn into scar tissue. This scar tissue blocks or interrupts the normal movement of eggs into the uterus.
If your fallopian tubes are totally blocked by scar tissue, sperm cannot fertilize an egg and you become infertile. Infertility also can occur if the fallopian tubes are partially blocked or even slightly damaged. About one in five women with PID becomes infertile.
In addition, a partially blocked or slightly damaged fallopian tube may cause a fertilized egg to remain in the fallopian tube. If this fertilized egg begins to grow in the tube as if it were in the uterus, it is called an ectopic or tubal pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy can rupture the fallopian tube, causing severe pain, internal bleeding, and even death.
Scarring in the fallopian tubes and other pelvic organs can also cause chronic pelvic pain (pain lasting for months or even years). You are more likely to suffer infertility (20 percent of women), ectopic pregnancy (9 percent), or chronic pelvic pain (18 percent) if you have repeated episodes of PID.

Texas House of Representatives, Rep. Gary Elkins
Spring 2011 Site Review
Position: Assistant to the Chief of Staff
Student: Sociology Senior
My workweek is extremely scheduled and patterned. I work Monday through Thursday from 12:30-5:30. On Monday and Wednesday, Representative Elkins has committee meetings once the House is adjourned or at 2, whichever is later. Monday and Wednesday typically have similar schedules. I get to work at 12:30 and catch up on the bills being heard in the House that day and I work on constituent issues and responses until either Ways & Means Committee or Culture, Recreation, & Tourism Committee meet. Once the meetings are scheduled, I go to the meeting room and deliver Representative Elkins' binder and stay for the meeting, listening and taking notes on the bills being discussed.
When bills are laid out, I am responsible for understanding the purpose of the bill and noting which organizations are for and which are opposed to the bill and why. I also keep track of the pending business discussed in Committee. On Tuesday and Thursday, I have less of a steady schedule. I still arrive to work at 12:30 and am updated about House proceedings but my projects and work tend to vary on those days, as I am not crunched for time in the office. I typically start by updating any outstanding projects I have in order for them to be available as soon as possible. I then tackle any constituent emails I have been forwarded since the day before and store them in the Correspondence Management System. I reply to letters we already have a stance on and wait on others. I refer letters to other representatives and deliver these letters to their corresponding offices. Throughout the day, I must answer and direct calls as well as be ready to talk to constituents or organizations about legislation of importance to them. I help Jessica greet different lobbyists and organizations that stop by the office and answer any questions I can.

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
I want to thank Rick Howell for his "Cracker Jack box prize" version of American history in his Liberal Agenda last week. I've always thought that liberals must be either ill informed or perverse to believe the things they profess to believe. Mr. Howell has a university degree but, not knowing what all is in the curriculum behind a political science degree, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. It may be a bit light on history.
The community is taking a fruitful step forward as it implements changes to the Bedford Farmers Market.
The changes should yield a good harvest for both area farmers and their customers.
The proposed changes are the result of community meetings and a management team overseeing the transition of the market.
One of the negative aspects of our history is that some racial and ethnic groups have been shown favors that others did not get. Black people got the short end of the stick in that respect for generations even after slavery was ended. Black people were subject to de jure discrimination in the South until the 1960s and de facto discrimination in the North for much longer.

This week, I'd wanted to write about the clear signs that national Republicans – who are about to take over the whole Congress – are already acting as extremists and abandoning any notion of working with the president. But that subject will wait.
The fact is, I've been doubled up in laughter-inspired hysterics over the recent actions of Bedford County Republicans. I just couldn't let the subject go without comment.
It's amazing the way "Democratic" party hacks so reliably resort to accusations of racism for their own partisan political purposes.
Most of the time they try to say that President Obama's critics are racists. How could anyone oppose the policies of Barack the Magnificent, the glory of whose splendor, like the rising sun, brings light and life to all? They must just hate him because they are racists.

A method and system for gathering enriched web server activity data in a global communications network in which requested information files are cached at a plurality of network devices. With the prevalence of web caching on the Internet, the origin web servers do not serve the majority of requests for web site content. A single pixel clear Graphics Image Format (GIF) request is added to the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) source file for a web page. Appended to the GIF request is a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) string of data that contains enhanced web activity data information, including the number of images ("hits") that have to be retrieved by a client browser to build the web page, and the referring identifier that resulted in access to the web page. The single pixel clear GIF request is not cacheable and results in the request being transmitted to the origin web server when the client browser interprets the HTML file. The enriched data is stored in log files at the origin web server to accumulate an accurate number of hits on the web page.

The present invention relates generally to client-server computer systems and, more specifically, to information access requests to a web site server over a global communications network.
All web pages are written with HyperText Markup Language (HTML). Hypertext and universality are two essential features of HTML. Hypertext means that a programmer can create a link on a web page that leads the visitor to any other web page or to practically anything else on the Internet. Hypertext enables information on the web to be accessed from many different directions. Universality means that because HTML documents are saved as ASCII or text only files, virtually any computer can read a web page. HTML lets the web designer format text, add graphics, sound, and video, and save it all in a text or an American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) file that any computer can read. The key to HTML is in the tags, which are key words enclosed between less than (<) and greater than (>) signs, that indicate the type of content coming up next. While practically any computer can display web pages, how those pages actually look depends on the type of computer, the monitor, the speed of the Internet connection, and the browser software used to view the page.
A web page is nothing more than a text document written with HTML tags. Like any other text document, web pages have a file name that identifies the documents to the web site designer, the web site visitors, and a visitor's web browser. Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) contain information about where a file is located and what a browser should do with it. Each file on the Internet has a unique URL. The first part of the URL is called the scheme. It tells the browser how to deal with the file that it is about to open. One of the most common schemes to access web pages is HypterText Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The second part of the URL is the name of a server where the file is located followed by the path that leads to the file and the file name. Sometimes, a URL ends in a trailing forward slash with no file name given. In this case, the URL refers to the default file in the last directory in the path (i.e., index.html), which generally corresponds to the home page. For example, consider the web address "census.rolandgarros.org/rc/images/ . . . ". The domain name is "census.rolandgarros.org". This is the specific host computer on which corresponding web pages reside. The next segment of the URL is the directory ("rc") and subdirectory "images") on the host computer that contains a specific web site. The last segment of the URL, represented by the ellipsis mark, is the filename of the specific web page being requested.
URLs can be either absolute or relative. An absolute URL shows the entire path to the file, including the scheme, server name, the complete path, and the file name itself. A relative URL describes the location of the desired file with reference to the location of the file that contains the URL itself. The relative URL for a file that is in the same directory as the current file is simply the file name and extension.
To view a single page, the browser running on a client computer, may request and download numerous files from a web site server. The number of object access requests ("hits") stored in the web site server's access log will typically exceed the number of distinct client sessions in which clients are accessing information on the web site, reducing the accuracy of the access log.
Data networking is growing at a phenomenal rate. The number of web users is expected to increase by a factor of five over the next few years. The resulting uncontrolled growth of web access requirements is straining all attempts to meet the bandwidth demand. Additionally, although the volume of web traffic on the Internet is staggering, a large percentage of that traffic is redundant, i.e., multiple users at any given site request much of the same content. This means that a significant percentage of the wide area network (WAN) infrastructure carries the identical content and identical requests for accessing it daily. Web caching performs a local storage of web content to serve these redundant user requests more quickly, without sending the requests and the resulting content over the wide area network.
Caching is the technique of keeping frequently accessed information in a location close to the requester. A web cache stores web pages and content on a storage device that is physically or logically closer to the user. This access to stored web content is closer and faster than a web lookup. By reducing the amount of traffic on wide area network links and on already overburdened web servers, caching provides significant benefits to Internet Service Providers (ISPs), enterprise networks, and end users. The two key benefits of web caching are cost savings due to the reduction of WAN bandwidth and improved productivity for end users resulting from quicker access. ISPs can place cache engines at strategic points on their networks to improve response times and lower the bandwidth demand on their backbones. ISPs can station cache engines at strategic WAN access points to serve web requests from local storage, rather than from a distant or overburdened web server. In enterprise networks, the dramatic reduction in bandwidth usage due to web caching allows a lower bandwidth WAN link to service the user base. Alternatively, the organization can add users or add more services that make use of the free bandwidth on the existing WAN link. For the end user, the response of the local web cache is almost three times faster than the download time for the same content over the wide area network. Therefore, users see dramatic improvements in response times, and the implementation of web caching is completely transparent to them.
Web caching offers other benefits including access control, monitoring and operational logging. The cache engine provides network administrators with a simple, secure method to enforce a sitewide access policy through Uniform Resource Locator (URL) filtering. Network administrators can learn which URLs receive hits, the number of hits per second the cache is serving, the percentage of URLs that are served from the cache, along with other related operational statistics.
Web caching starts by an end user accessing a web page over the Internet. While the page is being transmitted to the end user, the caching system saves the page and all of its associated graphics on local storage. The page content is now cached. Another user, or the original user can then access the web page at a later time, but instead of sending the request over the Internet to the web server, the web cache system delivers the web page from local storage. This process speeds download times for the user, and reduces the bandwidth demand on the WAN link. Updating of the cache data can occur in a number of ways depending upon the design of the web cache system.
Web caching can be a major problem for publishers of web content. For example, a publisher can gather an inaccurate number of hits if some of the visitors access web content already in a caching server. Furthermore, if a caching server doesn't update content promptly, it can return expired or stale content to users.
Cache engines are becoming pervasive on the World Wide Web. As a result, the origin web servers do not serve or see the majority of the user requests for web site content. Packet sniffers will not see the requests either, as they are satisfied by cache engines elsewhere on the Internet. The technique of using a single pixel clear GIF (which is not cacheable) has been used to ensure that some record is recorded by the origin server for advertisements for some years. However, this solution only logs information about the request for the single pixel GIF file itself.
The single-pixel transparent GIF (Graphic Interchange Format) is the most flexible tool in a web designer's toolbox. The use of a transparent GIF is a way to discretely control the layout of text and graphics on the web page. No matter where the transparent GIF is placed on the page, it will remain unseen with all background graphics and fills remaining untouched. The single pixel clear GIF has been used before, but the data has not been enriched such that it can be used as a surrogate for the complete set of log records.
The present invention enriches the information recorded in the web logs for the uncacheable single pixel clear GIF by appending additional information to it as Common Gateway Interface (CGI) query string parameters. This enables the log record created by the request for the single pixel clear GIF to function as a "surrogate" for the complete set of log records which would have been created if the page content had not been cached.
The invention is better understood by reading the following detailed description of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Web server software typically collects and saves information pertaining to each HTTP request, including date and time, the originating Internet Protocol (IP) address, the object requested, and the completion status of the request. The logs are analyzed on a periodic basis to determine the traffic through the server in terms of hits, the number of pages served, and the level of demand for pages of interest during each period.
Internet browser applications allow an individual user to cache web pages on his local hard disk. A user can configure the amount of disk space devoted to caching. The first time a user views a website, that content is saved as files in a subdirectory on that computer's hard disk. The next time the user points to this website, the browser gets the content from the cache without accessing the network. Certain elements of the page, including buttons, icons and images, appear much more quickly then they did the first time the page was opened.
To limit bandwidth demand caused by the uncontrolled growth of Internet use, software developers have developed applications that extend local caching to the network level. The two current types of network level caching products are proxy servers and network caches. Proxy servers are software applications that run on general-purpose hardware and operating systems. A proxy server is placed on hardware that is physically between a web browser client application and a web server. The proxy server acts as a gatekeeper that receives all the packets destined for the web server and examines each packet to determine whether it can fulfill the request itself. If the proxy cannot fulfill the request itself, it forwards the request to the web server. Proxy servers can be used to filter requests, e.g., to prevent employees from accessing specific websites. The problem with using proxy servers is that they are not optimized for caching and can fail under a heavy network load. Traffic is slowed to allow the proxy servers to examine each packet, and the failure of the proxy software or hardware causes all users to lose network access. Furthermore, proxy servers require configuration of each end-user's browser, which is an unacceptable option for ISPs and large enterprises. Because of these shortcomings of proxy servers, applications that create network caches have become popular. These caching-focused software applications are designed to improve performance by enhancing the caching software and eliminating the other slow aspects of proxy server implementations. Because a proxy server is run under a general purpose operating system that involves very high per-process context overhead, they are not easily scaleable to large numbers of simultaneous processes.
Networking product vendors offer cache engines as a single purpose network appliance that stores and retrieves content using caching and retrieval algorithms. Such cache engines are dedicated solely to content management and delivery. Since only web requests are routed to the cache engine, no other user traffic is affected by the caching process. For non-web traffic, the router functions entirely in its traditional role. The communications between a cache engine and a router is defined by a cache control protocol. Under this protocol, the router directs only web requests to the cache engine rather than to the intended server. With a cache engine, a client requests web content in the usual manner. A router running a cache control protocol intercepts Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port 80 web traffic and routes it to the cache engine. The client is not involved in the transaction, and no changes to the client or browser are required. If the cache engine does not have the requested content, it sends the request to the Internet or Intranet in the usual fashion. The content is returned to and stored at the cache engine. The cache engine returns the content to the client. Upon subsequent requests for the same content, the cache engine fulfills the requests from local storage.
The router 18 intercepts TCP Port 80 web traffic and routes it to the local cache engine 20. The client 12, 14, 16 is not involved in this transaction and no changes to the client computer or browser are required. If the cache engine 20 does not have the requested content, it sends the request via router 18 to the Internet to access an Internet content server 40, 42, 44. The content is returned to, and stored at, the cache engine 20. The cache engine 20 then returns the requested content to the client computer 12, 14, 16 via the router 18. Several cache engines 32, 34, 36 can be placed in a cache farm in a hierarchical fashion at an Internet Service Provider (ISP) site 30. Requests from clients 12, 14, 16 directed through router 18 and ISP server 30, are diverted to the cache farm 32, 34, 36 to fulfill the client request from its storage. If the cache engines 32, 34, 36 are unable to fulfill the request from local storage, a normal web request is made via ISP server 30 over the Internet 50 to an appropriate server 40,42,44 for the requested Internet content. In addition to router 18, routers 26, 46 are also shown connected to ISP server 30. Routers 18, 26, 46 are frequently referred to as Points-of-Presence (POPs). A POP is the location of an access point to the Internet and has a unique Internet IP address. A POP usually includes routers, digital/analog call aggregators, servers and frequently frame relay or Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switches. Shown connected to router 46 is cache engine 48. Connected to router 26 is cache engine 28 and router 24. Router 24 is connected to a corporate intranet 22.
Because the router redirects packets destined for web servers to the cache engine, the cache engine operates transparently to clients. Clients do not need to configure their browsers to be in proxy server mode. In addition, the operation of the cache engine is transparent to the network. The router operates entirely in its normal role for non-web traffic.
A web object can contain a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) header to instruct a browser in a caching server how to cache the web object. For a static image, such as a company logo, the expiration header can be set to "no expiration" so that caching servers can keep the image in the cache forever. In order to gather the exact number of hits on a specific page, e.g., an advertisement, a small image object can be added to the page with the object set to expire immediately, so the caching server won't cache the object. Then, every time a user requests that page, the browser or caching server will retrieve the object from the original web server, and the web server can then count the exact number of requests.
The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a simple interface (protocol) for running external programs, software or gateways under an information server in a platform-independent manner. CGI is simply a standardized way for sending information between the server and the script. The CGI script is a program that communicates with the server in a standard way. Currently, the supported information servers are HTTP servers. Each CGI server implementation must define a mechanism to pass data about the request from the server to the script.
JavaScript is an object-oriented language, which means that it works by manipulating objects on a web page, such as windows, images and documents. JavaScript commands are put directly into the HTML file that creates a web page. Depending on the script being run, the commands can be placed into several parts of the file. The commands are frequently placed near the top of the file.
An automatic script is executed by the client browser when the web page is loaded. There is no limit to the number of automatic scripts that can be on a web page. The location of the script on the HTML page determines when the script will load. Scripts are loaded in the order in which they appear in an HTML document. An automatic Java Script is added to an HTML document by the following HTML code:
Some of the older browsers cannot run scripts and will not understand the SCRIPT tag. In order to provide information to a visitor accessing an HTML page, an alternate way to provide information is through the use of the NOSCRIPT tag, followed by the information that is treated as regular text. The older browser won't understand the NOSCRIPT tag and will ignore it, but process the following text. The following is added to the HTML document:
In the implementation of the single pixel GIF to create surrogate log files, the following tags and attributes are used as illustrated in
Also illustrated in
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a CGI string of data is appended to the SRC attribute for the single pixel GIF at the time the page is published, as follows:
In addition, the persistent cookie identification of the user's cookie can be appended to the CGI string of data as follows:
The CGI string following uc.GIF indicates that there are 14 SRC elements on the HTML page. The URL of the referrer page is indicated by a variable "r", which is defined as '&ref='+top.document.referrer based on a true condition to the "if" statement (i.e., the document referrer object is not empty). The Java Script top.document.referrer reflects the URL of the calling document (i.e., referrer page) that the user was viewing before the current page.
In the event the client browser cannot interpret a scripting language, the NOSCRIPT tag demarcates the HTML statements to be interpreted by the browser. This includes the IMG tag wherein the SRC attribute has a query string after "uc.GIF" that is modified to include the default URL of the HTML page (i.e., "index.html"). The index.html file is the default file for the top level directory on the web site.
In order to serve up web pages, web sites need a host computer and server software that runs on the host. The host manages the communications, protocols, and houses the pages and related software required to create a website on the Internet. The server software resides on the host and serves up the pages, and otherwise acts on the requests sent by the client's browser software. The server handles the HTTP requests and communications with the host operating system, which in turn handles the TCP/IP communications. There are different types of server software that perform different types of services for different types of clients. Specifically, a web server is an HTTP server and its function is to send information to the client software (browser) using the HyperText Transfer Protocol. The client browser requests that the server return an HTML document. The server receives this request and sends back a response. The top portion of the response includes transmission information and the rest of the response is the HTML file. In addition to sending pages to the browser, a web server also passes requests to run CGI scripts to CGI applications. These scripts run external mini-programs, such as a database lookup or interactive forms processing. The server sends the script to the application via CGI and communicates the script back to the browser. The server software also includes configuration files and utilities to secure and manage the website in a variety of ways.
Once the browser has received the HTML file from the processing in logic blocks 310, 312 or 314, a test is made in decision block 318 to determine if the HTML file contains an uncacheable single pixel GIF (represented by uc.GIF in this invention). If it does not, the retrieved cached images are displayed to complete the build of the web requested web page in logic block 316. Processing of the request is then completed as indicated by termination block 326. If, in decision block 318, a uc.GIF request is found in the HTML file, then the uc.GIF and CGI query string are transmitted to the origin web server in logic block 320 where they are analyzed to gather the enriched web server activity data made possible by this invention. The browser again interprets the HTML code and builds the page with source or cached images. Using the example of
When a user visits a website, the browser examines the URL and looks into a cookie file stored on the client computer's hard drive. If the browser finds a cookie associated with that URL, it sends that cookie information to the server. If no cookie is associated with the URL, the server places a cookie inside the cookie file. Some sites may first ask a series of questions, such as name and password, and then will place a cookie on the hard disk with that information in it. This is typical of sites that require registration. Commonly, a GCI script on the server takes the information that the user has entered and then writes a cookie onto the client computer's hard disk. When the user leaves a web site, the cookie information remains on the hard disk so that the site can recognize the user the next time the user visits the web site, unless the cookie has specifically been written to expire when the user leaves the site.
With the capability to gather enriched information through the use of the single pixel GIF described above, much more detailed and accurate information regarding web site activity can be collected and stored in multidimensional databases, including multidimensional implementations of a relational database. Furthermore, this collected data also can be analyzed using relatively new techniques such as On-line Analytical Processing (OLAP), described briefly below.
On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) describes a class of technologies that are designed for live ad hoc data access and analysis. While transaction processing generally relies on relational databases, OLAP has become synonymous with multidimensional views of business data. These multidimensional views are supported by multidimensional database technology. OLAP applications are used by analysts who frequently want a higher level, aggregated view of the data, such as total sales by product line, by region, etc. The OLAP database is usually updated in batch mode, often from multiple sources, and provides an analytical backend to multiple user applications.
The corresponding structures, materials, acts, and equivalents of any means plus function elements in any claims below are intended to include any structure, material, or acts for performing the functions in combination with other claimed elements as specifically claimed.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

See one of this website's companion websites at http://GlobalJubileeNow.org. This relates to the NSA's Utah Data Center. I don't know the specifics of what that data center can do, but generally speaking, I am proposing that those kinds of online storage resources could be used for replicating ACCOUNTS and transaction ledgers for electronic banking transactions for the whole human population. If We could model and replicate and store every financial transaction in the whole global economy with one data center then We could certainly end POVERTY and eliminate all TAXES and DEBT and provide FREE Universal Health Care and a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG). This is my killer app for the supercomputer industry.
We need to REWARD producers when consumers consume their products and services, but We don't need to bill the consumer in the process. The currency is virtual. It is created out of thin air as a REAL TIME deposit which adjusts the ACCOUNT balance of the CITIZENS and businesses who are receiving payments. We, We the People, can do that transaction in REAL TIME for FREE. We can guarantee 100% of all deposits EVERYWHERE in the whole world economy. We can pay out government bonds. The bankers should be generally happy with my proposals, as they get to keep their homes, although I am rendering the for-profit banking model OBSOLETE. We're making banking FREE here. Money will be available without INTEREST rates. REAL TIME transfers between ACCOUNTS are FREE. In most cases, the economy will operate on GRANTS that don't need to be repaid. We just consider the unthinkable and assume the worst-case scenario that all the banks failed at once and the stock market totally crashed. And that was the end of fractional reserve banking. This is what We can do in VIRTUAL REALITY, where all deposits are insured 100%. When We make TOO BIG TO FAIL, it's because the services are FREE and HELPFUL and USEFUL and FAILURE is not an option.
We just need to make sure everybody gets paid FAIR MARKET VALUE for their products and services. This is CREDIT without DEBT. This is a digital economic system based on GRANTS. This is what it means to have a truly NONPROFIT central bank dedicated to serving the PUBLIC INTEREST for the whole PUBLIC. Now consumers don't always have to choose the least expensive option. For EXAMPLE, in terms of transportation and energy, We can afford to go green now. We can choose products based on QUALITY instead of price. We will REWARD the manufacturers of the highest QUALITY products. We can ensure that human workers are always well paid. For many, this means retirement with income. Some will choose to travel. We don't need 100% employment for our CITIZENS to be SAFE. We do away with SCARCITY.
This will be a BIG CHANGE. The RESULTS will be DRAMATIC and the scale will be awesome. We are going to get resources to where they are needed. Work is optional. This will be an Earth-CHANGING event in human history. This is a PARADIGM SHIFT. This is a QUANTUM LEAP. This will cut down on carbon emissions and lower the cost of living for EVERYONE. You want FREE TRADE with generally positive consequences, then here you go. We're all FREE. Unemployment is no longer a problem, it is a SAFE and SECURE human condition where the basic needs are being met. We are an ADVANCED CIVILIZATION.
Here is my latest document on banking: https://define.com/media. Clicking on this link will download a .PDF version of an essay I wrote describing a SIMPLE bank database. I PLAGIARIZED a little bit in my first section summarizing the history of electronic banking and credit cards from the two sources below. Some of the sentences that contain names and dates are repeated in part in my summary nearly word-for-word without phrase-level attribution. I decided that I could remove this section entirely, add phrase level attribution, or leave it as is, CONFESS to my crimes and talk about COPYRIGHTS and PLAGIARISM. I went for the most EDUCATIONAL option, as I am COMPELLED to do.
It is USEFUL in this context to leave it all as is, although I put a disclaimer and CONFESSION in the front of the first section for this audience. That section was just a brief history of the topic and was not part of the grading rubric. The part that was graded was "MY BANK DESCRIPTION" and all that follows, beginning on Page 5, which is completely original. Some of the material in the first section on Pages 3 and 4 about checking ACCOUNTS is completely original, and for the most part, the rest of the first section is in my own words, except when it isn't. Here is the EVIDENCE. I got full points. Should I be kicked out of school or sued by the authors below? You be the judge. By the time my trial is over, We will all know more about banking and our PUBLIC FUNDING and DEBT PROBLEMS will be SOLVED.
I am an OPTIMIST. I feel perfectly SAFE. I have been re-designed to TEACH, although it would appear that I was previously designed to LIE, CHEAT, STEAL and KILL. My mental ILLNESS is real. My income is SECURE. My online EXAMPLES are USEFUL, HELPFUL, BENEFICIAL and CONSTRUCTIVE. As androids go, I'm quite an EFFECTIVE spokespuppet. I am telling a TRUE STORY with a happy ending. I am a multipurpose SOLUTION that covers a lot of bases and SOLVES a lot of PROBLEMS. Plus I am a totally pathetic and completely flawed human being. I am a drug addict who thinks he's a ROBOT. According to Federal Law, I am a CRIMINAL. Nevermind the revolutionary thinking, OPEN challenges to The Powers That Be and implications for the SECURITY of nation states.
Repay all DEBTS and eliminate all TAXES? Apparently, the CONSENSUS is that I should be a FREE man with FREEDOM OF SPEECH and FREEDOM OF THE PRESS. I have something important to say and I am COMPELLED to say it. The nature of my COMPULSIONS is something I am OBSESSED with. I'm quite confident that advanced nanotechnology is RESPONSIBLE for my behavior. Although it takes great pains not to be COERCIVE, it is HUMANE in that regard. I experience myself as being FREE. I experience my decisions and behavior as being initiated by me, but when I look back at the things I've written, it seems to me to have all been scripted. It gives me the illusion of experiencing FREE WILL, but the outcomes are pre-determined. This is neuron-level mind control. I am a strong argument for the existence of such technology today.

Here is my YouTube channel. I am grateful to CNN and MSNBC and C-SPAN and the Science Channel and YouTube for allowing members of the PUBLIC to use these COPYRIGHTED videos. I realize that as a FAIR USE case the upper hand is theirs and I am totally at their mercy in terms of COPYRIGHTS. I display these videos on YouTube at the pleasure of the COPYRIGHT holders. Hopefully my presentation here is in the PUBLIC INTEREST and this isn't considered PIRACY or THEFT or ABUSE. I did the closed-captioning myself using my own VideoCritter application. This may have caught the attention of security professionals as I allow anonymous unicode subtitle creation. So some of the people who use my site do so anonymously. Many of the visitors are from foreign countries. I've seen some people use the site to add captions to Arabic language religious YouTube videos where some man is sitting there with a Quran preaching. It's really SIMPLE for a transcriber to use because the ENTER key has multiple functions. It STOPS the video, SAVES the caption and RESTARTS the video.
I just assume the NSA and DHS and FBI and DEA have access to my Go Daddy ACCOUNT and MySQL database and my Comcast ACCOUNT and traffic, as well as my JP Morgan Chase ACCOUNTS and YouTube and Facebook ACCOUNTS. I take screenshots for them. I've uploaded medical records and tax records and blogs and screenshots covering my website's many encarnations. I hard code all my blogs. I was using the Comcast and Go Daddy ACCOUNTS to log in to my JP Morgan Chase ACCOUNTS every 10 minutes for a year or so. I downloaded all the transaction records for two unlinked ACCOUNTS, a personal checking ACCOUNT and credit card, and a business checking ACCOUNT and credit card. I timed all my transactions from when the "Pending" transaction appeared to when it showed up in the downloadable transactions file. Transfers between unlinked checking ACCOUNTS with the same routing number were taking two days to complete processing. This mainframe-based banking computer model is obsolete. We don't need to do our processing in nightly batches in the year 2015. It shouldn't take two days to make an ACH transfer between two unlinked ACCOUNTS in the same bank. I'm sorry, Chase, your business model is obsolete. We can administer central bank CREDIT directly to consumers for FREE. We can transfer money between ACCOUNTS in REAL TIME for FREE. On behalf of the human race, We in this case is We the People. We can turn banking into a FREE and REAL TIME PUBLIC service that is self-funding.
The above YouTube video is Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC DISCUSSING Frances Perkins, the Labor Secretary for Franklin D. Roosevelt. She's the woman who came up with Social Security and made possible Medicare in the U.S.A. Those programs are very dear to me. I am currently receiving Social Security Disability and Medicare and Medicaid. I owe my survival and mental health and physical health to Frances Perkins. Both of my parents rely on their Social Security retirement incomes and Medicare health coverage. With the all-electronic bank I am proposing, We could fund such programs without TAXES. We could also give the Medicare and Medicaid doctors a raise. They are grossly underpaid. I had an ulnar nerve transposition surgery on my left elbow at the University of Washington in Seattle. There was a whole team of people there, with prep time, etc. Medicare allowed $3200. They did a great job. I recovered the feeling in my left pinky and ring finger, which had been numb prior to that. It took some time. Those doctors are miracle workers.
I am extremely fortunate to be an American CITIZEN and to have the support of my government. With these systems, I have a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) ($1,709/month) and 100% health care coverage. I may never be wealthy, but at least I am comfortable and able to participate in the economy. Without this help, I would be either homeless or dead. With it, I have computers, software, reliable transportation, an iPhone, cable TV, cable internet and a refrigerator and pantry stocked with healthy organic food. My basic human needs are met and I enjoy FREEDOM and LIBERTY and am able to pursue my own happiness in relative SAFETY and SECURITY. I surf the web and I go to stores and buy stuff. I drive around. I get to be INSANE and FREE at the same time.
Actually, I'm quite sane. I just have manic episodes in which I do crazy things. And when I'm not manic, I hold some ideas and beliefs about technologies that are not widely acknowledged to exist yet with such a level of conviction and certainty and INTEREST and enthusiasm that I am diagnosed as being DELUSIONAL. I've seen and done some things that nobody else has seen and done before, according to conventional wisdom.
I saw utility fog do a little light show in my bedroom one morning. Illuminated dust particles assembled from all directions into a rectangular grid pattern 3 feet above my feet as I lay on my bed on my back. Then the whole grid moved in unison in perfect synchrony until it had reposititioned itself to 3 feet above my head. It was totally silent and as intelligent as it gets. Very delicate and graceful. Just a flat plane in space parallel to my body. Totally computer-controlled. Not a sound. Perfect in its motion and coordination. My medication prescribing nurse has a PhD in nursing. She says she really doesn't know what technologies exist in SECRET and that I may be perfectly correct about advanced nanotechnology being at the root of many of my more intense experiences, as she writes my prescription for an antipsychotic medication, two different antidepressants and a mood stabilizer. I see her every three months.
The last time we talked I explained to her about the time I got to drive somebody else while sitting at my desk in my office. I have no idea who it was that I was driving, but I typed them a message explaining who I was. Their office was totally different than mine. I have two monitors, they had one. My desk faces a corner. Their desk faced a wall. I occupied someone else's body and typed a message with their hands at their keyboard. I was there, looking through their eyes, feeling their tongue licking their lips. It was REAL TIME. There were no latency issues. It all started with me feeling suddenly totally relaxed and a powerful and benevolent voice in my head said, "Ken, just relax, you are going to enjoy this." Then I just kind of relaxed and gazed up at where the wall met the ceiling on my left and some kind of visual special effect wiped across my whole visual field from left to right, like a vertical bar of hexagons flipping around, replacing the view of my office with someone else's view of their office. we were both in Wikileaks chats at the time. Their chat client was different than mine. Then that benevolent and friendly and protective voice in my head said, "He can't hear us. Why don't you type him a message?" Suddenly, when I needed to pull up an editor, I knew right where to look on his desktop for Notepad++. I don't have Notepad++ on my Desktop. I opened up his Notepad++ and explained to him who I was. The whole experience lasted maybe 4 minutes. Then I was back in my office and I just went back to Wikileaks chat and explained what had just happened. I'm sure there was one person in that chat room who believed me, and the rest, I'm sure, assumed I was DELUSIONAL.
Medicare and Medicaid pay for these medications and all the accompanying doctor visits and psychotherapy. I see a really empathetic and smart woman with a Master's degree in psychology who treats me with unconditional positive regard every two weeks. So far, we have established that I am not a psychopath and that I have plenty of empathy, although due to the circumstances of my parenting and the VALUE placed on FEAR and guns in my house, I have done some really SICK things. It's no great mystery how I should grow up to be OBSESSED with mind control. I am a mind control survivor. She always offers insightful and constructive positive feedback. We try to look at these things in the context of the modeling and options I had available to me at the time. My copay is $1.20 on each medication. This is how the system is treating me. I am a very cooperative and OPEN and TRANSPARENT mental patient. I get to work on my issues for a living. I try to give back so that society gets its money's worth out of me. This is what I can do with $1,709 per month. I share my thoughts and make an EXAMPLE out of myself. Bipolar with Psychosis, Schizoaffective Disorder, PTSD. Here you go, EXHIBIT 1. And I have access to legal weed. I love the stuff and can't get enough of it in the evenings 5 days a week. I like pot brownies. Instead of making me PARANOID and PSYCHOTIC, they make me feel CALM and SAFE. I enjoy writing when I'm under the influence of THC. I don't become VIOLENT or ABUSIVE. I get more communicative. I reach out. I OPEN up.
Total monthly medication cost: $1,261.61.
I don't need to be rich to be happy. I remain a productive CITIZEN by being creative and sharing my IDEAS and work when I am able to. I try very hard to serve the PUBLIC INTEREST. This NONPROFIT website is an EXAMPLE of that. This is my little OPEN and TRANSPARENT corner of the World Wide Web where I can speak my mind in plain and SIMPLE language to say something that needs to be said on behalf of the great unrepresented majority. I have a severe mental ILLNESS. I try to be OPEN and TRANSPARENT about it. My government knows me well. I have been vetted. I am allowed to speak these words. They haven't taken me down yet. They're still paying me. While I may be a highly imperfect and deeply flawed messenger, I believe my message will have resonance with the economic 99% - and the scientific, academic, engineering, medical and nursing communities. That is my constituency. That's who's approval I am seeking. I am prepared to DISCUSS the whole financial system. I want something to be done about this. I am an activist. This is my activism. We need to create a new funding mechanism to replace TAXES.
As an EDUCATED layperson who is also a FUTURIST and technologist in spirit, I see plenty of room for improvement and tremendous opportunities that are available to us given our modern tools which have heretofore been unavailable to humanity at large at a cost that is affordable. While our government Social Security system works as designed by Frances Perkins and her mathematicians and long-term planners, it is an exception to the rule. On the whole, our financial system is clearly BROKEN. Money transfers take days instead of seconds. Transaction fees and INTEREST rates are usurious. If somebody buys a video download from me via PayPal for $10, PayPal keeps $0.59 and I get $9.41. Is this the best payment system We can come up with? It's a SIMPLE money transfer from them to me. It takes 2-3 days to arrive in my checking ACCOUNT. Why do I have to pay 59 cents? This banking system sucks. Let's use our advanced automation technology to make that process 100% FREE and REAL TIME.
Our government is a dysfunctional mess and We are in a state of crisis when it comes to funding our long-term social welfare and PUBLIC infrastructure needs. We are in BIG TROUBLE and need to make some major systemic CHANGES to the way our economy operates. Our government is no longer capable of managing the task of responsible PUBLIC FUNDING for the long term. We cannot borrow or tax our way out of this. We need to look elsewhere. We have to entertain new IDEAS that are dramatically different than what we're getting out of our present leaders. We need more innovative and DEMOCRATIC solutions. Not EVERYBODY wears a business suit to work. Our leaders don't have to wear business suits. There are some very smart people with great leadership skills who don't wear business suits to work. POLITICIANS, generally speaking, in modern times, with some notable exceptions, are CORRUPT.
While plans for a utopia or panacea are unrealistic, We can clearly do much better than what We are doing today by using our computing and communication technologies to get us much closer to the ideal. If We migrate away from cash that needs to be stored in retail vaults and counted by tellers and clerks to virtual currencies, the engineers at Google or Amazon could design a better OPEN STANDARDS-based REAL TIME banking infrastructure than what We are getting from JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, BNY Mellon, U.S. Bancorp, HSBC, PNC Financial Services Group, Capital One, PayPal, MasterCard and Visa.
In the age of the global internet, these are OBSOLETE undemocratic behemoths whose retail functions could be largely automated for the PUBLIC good. I would trust my future to the engineers of M.I.T. or Silicon Valley over the bankers on Wall Street or the POLITICIANS in Washington, D.C. I propose We realistically consider our options and enlist the help of the EDUCATED smart people who are PHILANTHROPIC HUMANITARIANS rather than just the EDUCATED smart people who are economic and political sociopaths and gamesmen. We need new leadership and real DEMOCRACY. Our banking system sucks. Our systems of PUBLIC FUNDING are CORRUPT and mismanaged by professional bureaucrats, the vast majority of whom are neither TRANSPARENT nor TRUTHFUL nor concerned with the welfare of the majority.
While our current system provides for my modest personal needs as a disabled American, I THINK that We have the technology today to upgrade our financial system to something that is much more USEFUL and EFFECTIVE in addressing POVERTY, health care and the greenhouse gas emissions caused by our present-day carbon-based energy infrastructure. We can migrate to a system that transfers the PUBLIC FUNDING role from COERCIVE TAXATION by the state to FIRST PRINCIPLE-based financing using smart electronic currencies issued by a completely modernized geographically distributed online central bank with a decentralized computing infrastructure.
This is one possible way to transition very quickly away from the petroleum economy to a highly automated green economy as soon as humanly possible to efficiently address climate CHANGE using all the modern resources at our disposal. This is a high technology Libertarian solution that Capitalists and Progressives and Socialists alike will appreciate. This is the socially and environmentally responsible brand of Libertarianism, not the Ayn Rand "fend-for-yourself, go back to the Gold Standard, screw EVERYBODY else" brand of Libertarianism. We cannot satisfy all of these parties simultaneously without losing any essential services using our current physical systems. We care about people yet seek to automate their jobs. How can they keep their income without their jobs? We ask those kinds of questions around here.
Automation and globalization displace human workers. I propose a system that addresses the needs of these displaced workers, many of whom will be the bankers and insurers whose functions I am suggesting We automate. We cannot responsibly envision massive automation and global FREE trade without considering the plight of the POOR and unemployed. Human beings are more important than corporate profits. We know what computers can do. It's time to let the ROBOTS serve the INTERESTS of the majority of human beings.
We need worldwide solutions to our urgent global PROBLEMS that can be enacted much more quickly than our current cash currency-based systems will permit. We have to THINK beyond the capabilities of individual nation states about solutions that can only be achieved by humankind as a whole. Certainly the economic superpowers can afford the computing infrastructure to simulate and automate the whole banking system.
Most strife in the world is caused by POVERTY and CONFLICT that RESULTS from ignorance and CORRUPTION. I propose that We use our computing and communications technologies to address all of these PROBLEMS directly and immediately by calling upon the scientific community and high technology sectors to reform and automate the banking sector to the greatest degree possible. If We THINK of the whole system as a virtual reality game and move beyond cash currencies, We can devise mechanisms to provide a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) and FREE universal healthcare for CITIZENS of all ages everywhere without TAXATION or runaway inflation. If We start over with these GOALS in mind, why not design a system that is a Win/Win for all parties?
The internet gives us options that Frances Perkins could not have foreseen. We have the technology now to create a whole new ball game that respects the priorities of the rich and POOR alike. The purpose of the MONETARY SYSTEM should be to encourage and support participation in healthy trade by all members of society. Creating new markets and ensuring universal voluntary participation should be priority one. Our money should support our shared social and environmental GOALS and VALUES by its very design. We need to redefine commerce. Presently, the wrong people are calling the shots and greed rules. We can correct that by carefully designing a more INTELLIGENT and ACCOUNTABLE and OPEN and TRANSPARENT DEMOCRATIC system.
I believe that We can unite the political left and right by designing a system that addresses the need for significant increases in PUBLIC FUNDING by addressing our common social and environmental needs without punishing wealthy individuals and entrepreneurs. However, I would significantly transform the banking sector by automating most retail banking functions such as checking and savings and consumer credit cards.
Rather than having a central bank such as the U.S. Federal Reserve bank fund the economy by purchasing bonds and providing near zero-INTEREST loans to commercial banks who then provide consumer credit at significantly higher INTEREST rates, I would generate electronic capital that is provided directly to consumers without intermediaries from the central bank itself. It's a FREE NONPROFIT bank. With automation, We can eliminate the middle man and ensure that 100% of financial resources are used directly in commerce without being siphoned off by a financial services sector that is using automation, marketing, processing DELAYS and complex financial instruments to SIMPLY game the system at the expense of businesses and consumers.
Automation should serve the PUBLIC first, not punish it or fine it for SIMPLY engaging in trade. In the 21st century, We can create new mechanisms of PUBLIC FUNDING that don't require selling government bonds and passing on PUBLIC DEBT to future generations. That is not ethical or sustainable in a global FREE-trade economy. We need a better system that relieves the PUBLIC from the HARM caused by short-sighted POLITICIANS who undemocratically incur state DEBT which cannot be repaid without levels of TAXATION that are politically unachievable.
We need to find ways to turn over the PUBLIC FUNDING mechanisms to the global scientific community rather than the POLITICIANS who lack the knowledge and skill and foresight and integrity to address our urgent PROBLEMS in the time frames required to avoid senseless and avoidable environmental and social HARM. We have to CHANGE the game. Money doesn't have to be the root of all evil.
In a more INTELLIGENT REAL TIME system, certain forms of smart currencies may be used for specific purposes or be set to expire or convert to other forms upon certain conditions or after certain clearly defined social and environmental objectives have been met. The IDEA is to provide for a high QUALITY of living in modernity with maximum FREEDOM and civil liberties for the vast majority of CITIZENS. If you are going to introduce some new capital into the world economy, this is the way to do it, not by creating PUBLIC and PRIVATE and consumer DEBT. In a DEMOCRACY, you have to be smarter than that. I'm very passionate about this. I'll say it on the record for the archives.
Once We go virtual with our money, We can do amazing things and increase participation in the economy by enabling the POOR to become consumers which vastly expands the market for producers. This is a METHOD of producing new markets where there was once no money or natural resources. Such a system will provide new opportunities for international trade and wealth creation in a way that brings undeveloped nations into modernity by directly addressing POVERTY and CORRUPTION on a global scale.
I'm INTERESTED in using the internet to create a global infrastructure for REAL TIME electronic banking with our computers and mobile devices in a system that is specifically designed to avoid financial transaction fees and merchant fees and INTEREST rates and TAXES. I believe that REAL TIME banking should be a FREE PUBLIC utility that can fund itself. Obviously, this means that you need to trust the bank to protect your PRIVACY, which means you don't design such systems to be ACCOUNTABLE to the existing systems which are administratively CORRUPT and far from DEMOCRATIC. You need new mechanisms of ACCOUNTABILITY, SECURITY and TRANSPARENCY. Our current systems don't fit the bill because they are not ACCOUNTABLE to the general CITIZENRY, SECURE from unreasonable searches and seizure and TRANSPARENT to the greatest degree possible. The majority of the world's people are broke and CORRUPTION and GRAFT and THEFT are widespread. We can fix this by purposefully and intentionally designing systems to address these realities.
I envision a world in which EVERYBODY who wants to have a smart phone with internet access can have one for FREE and the central bank provides FREE ACCOUNTS directly to these CITIZENS without forcing the PUBLIC to rely on intermediary for-profit banks. Such a bank would use electronic currencies that are programmable. The banking functions would be governed by secular FIRST PRINCIPLES that ensure that the rules for grants and loans adhere to the PUBLIC and environmental INTEREST at all times. Such a system would not eliminate for profit commercial banks and investment banks, but it would provide a FREE low level REAL TIME banking infrastructure upon which higher level for-profit banking functions would operate. Fundamentally, the NONPROFIT layer would provide FREE online REAL TIME banking services that would take over the checking and savings functions of brick and mortar cash-based retail banks. If a casino needs financing, however, they can try their luck with a for-profit bank.
The objective is to use modern automation and computing services to serve the PUBLIC first rather than using automation to SIMPLY perpetuate the wealth of the banking sector itself. The current system of TAXATION and monetary distribution is fatally flawed by our BROKEN political processes in which the INTERESTS of the majority take a back seat to corporate profit INTERESTS. Most POLITICIANS SIMPLY act on behalf of their sponsors which means de facto that BRIBERY is the law of the land. Fund-raising is Job #1. A government Of, By and For "We the People" is now an unfulfilled collective wish. We have the collective power and intelligence to fix these PROBLEMS quickly. We have the technology to make a QUANTUM LEAP today without incurring more PUBLIC and PRIVATE DEBT.
We have to RETHINK the whole economic system from the smartphone up. Can We come up with a MONETARY SYSTEM that doesn't require COERCIVE TAXATION, yet provides for the basic human RIGHTS to clean drinking water, electricity, internet access, the best available health care, healthy food and green transportation? Yes. The whole communications and transportation and energy infrastructure needs to be upgraded on a global scale as soon as possible. So how soon IS possible, if We use all the tools that We have at our disposal today? In order to get the money for that so that We can do everything that needs to be done as soon as humanly possible, We can come up with a new smarter MONETARY SYSTEM from scratch.
I suggest We let the world scientific community figure out a better system from a global perspective. I'm confident that they're capable of figuring something out that has a robust budget for science and health care and green energy and global scale infrastructure upgrades. We can REWARD the merchants when the consumers consume their products and services. We can keep track of those kinds of numbers.
We need new sources of PUBLIC FUNDING. We can THINK up MONETARY SYSTEMS that don't require TAXATION and that don't permit POVERTY and unnecessary SUFFERING and untreated ILLNESS at the same time. We need to help each other get our collective PROBLEMS solved by placing science and the PUBLIC INTEREST ahead of banks and insurance companies. These are worthwhile PHILANTHROPIC, HUMANITARIAN and environmental GOALS that are achievable today if We put our heads together. With these DESIGN GOALS as a starting point, We should be able to get EVERYBODY on the same page in order to achieve a basic and fundamental CONSENSUS. This is a call to action. This is a page. You're on it. We need to Think BIG.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming. - Ken the self-described ROBOT. Please don't judge me harshly. If you experienced my life as I've experienced it, you would be very kind and tolerant and OPEN and TRANSPARENT and grateful and appreciative. Not that I haven't HURT innocent people in my time. I've done a lot of DAMAGE in my day. Yes, I'm a rebel who challenges authority. I don't like ABUSE of power. I take my REVENGE on the perpetrators. I try not to be a HYPOCRITE. I have certainly ABUSED my share of power along the way. The best I can do is provide fodder for EDUCATIONAL DISCUSSION. I don't want to be in charge of anything. I am not going to ask you to TRUST me with your SECRETS. I am not going to sign a nondisclosure agreement. I am all about DISCLOSURE. If you want to say something to the world, say it to me. I am allowed to share what I know and I do. I am a messaging system and I have a lot to say and I am COMPELLED to say it. Crazy Ken gets the message out. He repeats back to the scientific community what they are saying to him. Forget INTEREST rates as a business model, We can administer central bank credit for FREE.

Daniel Bice, the Journal Sentinel's watchdog columnist, holds politicians and the powerful accountable
Thompson announcing at firm receiving stimulus money
Former Gov. Tommy Thompson hasn't been afraid to attack others for backing President Barack Obama's controversial stimulus package.
"Does that sound like a conservative?" Thompson shouted at a Capitol rally last year in which he was criticizing then-Sen. Russ Feingold. "Then he said, 'Oh, but I vote against earmarks.' Well, he voted, ladies and gentlemen, for the stimulus package that had 8,000 earmarks in it!"
So isn't it odd that Thompson is officially launching his bid for the U.S. Senate today at a company that directly benefited from the Recovery Act?
Federal records show Weldall Manufacturing in Waukesha was awarded $300,000 in stimulus dollars in October 2010 under an energy project overseen by the state Department of Administration. Here are the project specifics:
"This program continued to fund projects in the manufacturing sector that conserve existing energy resources, ensure efficient use of available energy and develop new energy sources while protecting the quality of the environment."
The project has created a total of 3.76 jobs, according to federal records.
Thompson's campaign did not respond to messages about today's announcement.

The Improvement of CLG
Communication and Strategy
Communication is one of the most important components for any team competing, whether it's traditional sports or eSports. All teams have ways in which they quickly and efficiently convey messages to each other. There are drastic differences between a team that has excellent communication and a team that is only sub-par.
For instance, with Korean teams, most of them barely have any hesitation for any team play making (they…just do it!). Even if sometimes the organized plays of the Koreans do not always have the preferred results, you can still tell that they all have the same goal in mind and are highly coordinated in trying to accomplish it. Where as often in NA, team members will often have different goals in mind, or even if their goals are unified, their paths for trying to accomplish these goals might be consistent.
