Comment — Social media
Fan pages can informally connect agencies to the public
The Obama administration recently launched a Facebook and government fan page to give government organizations a popular location to send people for resources, tips and guidance.
What's the big deal? And now that your organization is on Facebook, what's next?
Another good question is, "Why is your organization on Facebook?" Any social-media initiative should have a purpose. Otherwise, initiatives are just a trendy time sink.
Facebook is a social-networking site. Social networks allow people to post profiles, compare interests, and link with old friends, new friends, colleagues and co-workers.
And it's not just something the kids are doing. The fastest-growing demographic on Facebook is users well into their careers — professionals, leaders and experts. As of February, 46 percent of Facebook users were older than 26. The largest-growing demographic is women older than 55.
Also, Facebook has matured quite a bit from its early days as a glorified yearbook as new features are constantly being added. Facebook Connect allows users to easily post content — pictures, links and videos. Fan pages answered the complaints by organizations that Facebook Groups were too limiting. Apart from all the games, there are a lot of decent Facebook applications that can enhance an organization's presence. Some allow for crosstalk among other social-media platforms, such as Twitter. Some can gather RSS feeds from other sites, blogs or Facebook pages for convenient display in one place.
However, back to the point, why be on Facebook?
For one thing, if an organization wants to converse with its external audience, chances are many of its members are already on Facebook, so going where they are makes sense. A lot of an organization's employees are also probably there. Having a Facebook fan page can be a great place to distribute content, link to stories, and solicit comments from an organization's internal or external audience.
Don't let the lingo trip you up. Facebook friends are all manner of people — bosses, church-goers, in-laws. Facebook fans are simply people who subscribe to a fan page's feed. They aren't necessarily people who are crazy in love with an organization. However, people who subscribe to a fan page have the potential to be flag wavers for an organization if they perceive it to be of value.
As an organization explores several areas of social media, having a landing spot such as a Facebook fan page can be a good, dynamic place for audience members to see goings-on with minimal effect on the organization's official Web page.
Like good graphic design, inspiration for Facebook fan page features can come from others. An agency can get a lot of tips from seeing how other government fan pages are designed. The Army page is pretty robust, and the Environmental Protection Agency also has a good page.
We'll see a lot of other good examples as more people take the second, third and further steps in exploring how Facebook can augment and amplify public affairs practices.

The German word Wiedergutmachung after World War II refers to the reparations that the German government agreed to pay in 1953 to the direct survivors of the Holocaust, and to those who were made to work as forced labour or who otherwise became victims of the Nazis. The sum would amount, through the years, to over 100 billion Deutsche Mark. Historian Tony Judt writes about Wiedergutmachung:
- In making this agreement Konrad Adenauer ran some domestic political risk: in December 1951, just 5 percent of West Germans surveyed admitted feeling 'guilty' towards Jews. A further 29 percent acknowledged that Germany owed some restitution to the Jewish people. The rest were divided between those (some two-fifths of respondents) who thought that only people 'who really committed something' were responsible and should pay, and those (21 percent) who thought 'that the Jews themselves were partly responsible for what happened to them during the Third Reich.' When the restitution agreement was debated in the Bundestag on March 18th 1953, the Communists voted against, the Free Democrats abstained and both the Christian Social Union and Adenauer's own CDU were divided, with many voting against any Wiedergutmachung (reparations).[1]
The noun Wiedergutmachung is the general term for "restitution" or "reparation". The noun is made up of wieder ("again"), gut ("good" or "well"), and machung, a verbal noun of machen ("to make"). The verb wiedergutmachen means literally "to make well again" or to compensate. Wiedergutmachungsgeld means "Wiedergutmachung money".
In the former East Germany, Wiedergutmachung was mostly directed to Poland and the former USSR.
The German federal office in charge of this issue is BEG (abbreviation for "Bundesentschädigungsgesetz", which translates into English as "Federal Compensation Law") which, in its charter, states:
- Individuals who were persecuted for political, racial, religious or ideological reasons by the wartime German regime are eligible for money from the German government under the terms of the Federal Compensation Law (BEG) of 1953 and 1956. This includes Jews who were interned in camps or ghettos, were obliged to wear the star badge, or who lived in hiding.
Only people who were directly victimised are eligible for Wiedergutmachung, and not, for example, offspring born after the war or grandchildren. Statistics concerning Wiedergutmachung payments were released by the BEG through the mid-1980s, but have not since been publicly released. As of the mid-1980s, over four million claims had been filed and paid. Approximately 40% of the claims were from Israel, where many Holocaust survivors live, 20% were from Germany, and 40% were from other countries.
An unusual compensation was to the Republic of Ireland, a neutral country, for bombings in 1941.
On 3 December 1998, Germany was a signer of the "Washington Principles on Nazi-Confiscated Art",[2] in which Germany agreed:
1. Art that had been confiscated by the Nazis and not subsequently restituted should be identified.
2. Relevant records and archives should be open and accessible to researchers, in accordance with the guidelines of the International Council on Archives.
3. Resources and personnel should be made available to facilitate the identification of all art that had been confiscated by the Nazis and not subsequently restituted.
4. In establishing that a work of art had been confiscated by the Nazis and not subsequently restituted, consideration should be given to unavoidable gaps or ambiguities in the provenance in light of the passage of time and the circumstances of the Holocaust era.
5. Every effort should be made to publicize art that is found to have been confiscated by the Nazis and not subsequently restituted in order to locate its pre-War owners or their heirs.
6. Efforts should be made to establish a central registry of such information.
7. Pre-War owners and their heirs should be encouraged to come forward and make known their claims to art that was confiscated by the Nazis and not subsequently restituted.
8. If the pre-War owners of art that is found to have been confiscated by the Nazis and not subsequently restituted, or their heirs, can be identified, steps should be taken expeditiously to achieve a just and fair solution, recognizing this may vary according to the facts and circumstances surrounding a specific case.
9. If the pre-War owners of art that is found to have been confiscated by the Nazis, or their heirs, can not be identified, steps should be taken expeditiously to achieve a just and fair solution.
10. Commissions or other bodies established to identify art that was confiscated by the Nazis and to assist in addressing ownership issues should have a balanced membership.
11. Nations are encouraged to develop national processes to implement these principles, particularly as they relate to alternative dispute resolution mechanisms for resolving ownership issues.
Adherence to these principles is strictly voluntary and not a legal requirement. The Washington Principles cover only items in the possession of public institutions, and not items in the possession of private individuals. Germany has no law in effect which actively requires institutions to have their possessions searched for Nazi-looted goods, unlike the 1998 restitution law in Austria.[3]

Readily available option could help lower infection rates, expert says
TUESDAY, March 30 (HealthDay News) -- Do-it-yourself tests for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) apparently would be a hit among women.
When given the option of taking an at-home test for chlamydia and gonorrhea, two of the most common STDs, 76 percent of 462 women in a recent study indicated that would be their preference, compared with 16 percent who said they would rather go to a clinic for testing and 8 percent who said they'd prefer to be tested by their own doctor.
At-home test kits for sexually transmitted diseases are not currently available to U.S. consumers.
Beyond women saying they would prefer to test themselves for STDs, the study also found that a greater percentage of these women actually followed through and got tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea -- 65 percent compared with 32 percent of those who said they would choose doctors or clinics for testing.
"The results are important because they show you can increase screening for these infections, which are very common and cause serious health problems such as infertility, ectopic pregnancy and pelvic inflammatory disease," said the study's lead author, Dr. Jeffrey Peipert, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Washington University in St. Louis.
Women who self-tested used vaginal swabs to obtain a smear that was then mailed to a lab. The women reported that the test was easy to perform, and the results were comparable to results of regular screenings, the researchers reported.
Among the 228 women who were tested, six cases of chlamydia and one case of gonorrhea were found, according to the study, with four of the chlamydia cases and the lone gonorrhea case detected in the home-screening group. Study participants and their partners who tested positive were given free antibiotic treatment.

Why the Homeschool Movement Was So Frightening
Teaching Our Kids Religion
by Lana Hope cross posted from her blog Wide Open GroundIn a post the other day, I mentioned that homeschoolers tend to be sheltered from secular ideas – to the extent that homeschool students are often not allowed to disagree with their parents or formulate their own opinions.

I've talked a lot about some of the other aspects of growing up in fundamentalism, but I've avoided talking about my experience with homeschooling for a few reasons. I've touched on it a few times, and I've even written posts for Homeschoolers Anonymous and for Leaving Fundamentalism.

News Corporation said Tuesday it was acquiring a 49 percent stake in the Yes Network, the New York Yankees' regional cable sports channel. Yankee Global Enterprises, Goldman Sachs and other investors will reduce their ownership as part of the transaction. ''The Steinbrenner family expects to have a continuing, long-term ownership stake in the Yes Network and we will continue our yearly commitment of fielding a championship caliber team for decades to come,'' Yankees managing partner Hal Steinbrenner said in a statement. The Yankees also committed to stay on Yes Network through 2042, subject to approval of the deal from Major League Baseball. News Corp., which owns Fox, may acquire an additional stake in the Yes Network after three years that could bring its ownership to 80 percent. Yankee Global Enterprises would retain a significant minority stake.

A medical coder's job is to bill insurance companies and track the submitted claims. Medical coders are responsible for reviewing the medical records of patients and then assigning codes to their diagnoses and procedures so that the relevant insurance company, other third-party payers, or the patient can be billed for those claims. A hospital coder is a medical coder specific to a hospital, as opposed to a doctor's office or other medical facility.Read More...
A hospital coder's job is important, as they help doctors understand which treatment will work best for their patients based on prior therapies. They also help by looking through patient files to find preexisting conditions. As patients receive care, the coder keeps track of their medical records and documents the improvement or deterioration of the relevant condition. When the patients are ready to go home, the coder will process the discharge paperwork. It is also the job of the coder to make sure that the provider meets recordkeeping guidelines. They need to keep medical histories private while making sure that patient records contain the information and treatment care details that the law requires. In order to do that, they need to know the laws concerning the release of that information as well.
The minimum requirements for this position are a high school diploma or equivalent, good math skills, bookkeeping knowledge, and experience with customer relationship management programs that are used in the health care industry. You will also need to have knowledge of billing codes and good communication skills. A college degree is normally not necessary, but a certificate from a credited school is always an added bonus.
Survey takers who work as Hospital Coders usually report a few specific skills. Most notably, facility with Surgical coding and Medical Coding are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 37 percent and 5 percent, respectively.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Hospital Coders with more experience do not necessarily bring home bigger paychecks. In fact, experience in this field tends to impact compensation minimally. The average inexperienced worker earns $38K, and someone who has worked for five to 10 years can expect a bigger median salary of $42K. On average, Hospital Coders make $52K following one to two decades on the job. Individuals who report more than two decades of experience seem to make about the same as folks in the 10-to-20 year range.

We've been waiting a long time for Peter Andre to find the right woman, and we think it may finally have happened.
Peter Andre has opened up about his girlfriend, Emily MacDonagh. Copyright [Rex]
Peter Andre has got together with Emily MacDonagh, the daughter of his surgeon, and he seems pretty happy about it.
[Related article: First photos of Peter Andre and Emily together]
[Related article: Peter Andre in a jacuzzi. You're welcome.]
Peter has gushed about the new relationship with Emily, who's 16 years his junior, saying that the age gap doesn't matter and that he feels young again.
Peter Andre and Emily MacDonagh on a date last week. Copyright [WENN]He told new! magazine: "I didn't even think about the age gap, to be honest. We're not bothered by it. She is someone I have a lot of respect for so when they [the media] were saying, 'Pete's toygirl,' I felt bad for her family."
He continued: "It's still early and I really don't want to say too much as I'm frightened to jinx it. But I think it's going in the right direction."
Peter has said his relationship with Emily has made him feel young again. Copyright [WENN]Peter Andre also revealed that he's attracted to the fact that Emily is training to become a doctor and isn't in the showbiz industry.
He said: "I think it's just really refreshing to be with someone who is in a completely different world and you can actually have a conversation with."
"I feel so young at the moment. I went through a stage where I was feeling my age but now I'm feeling good."
Wow, this is the happiest we've heard Peter sound in a very long time. Nice work, Emily. We're not jel. Not at all.

Makes life easier
A very strong, durable chain. I love that I can use the powerlink to safely break the chain for removal and cleaning. I might try a 991 model if I could find it on a closeout or something, but the 971 is more than sufficient for normal use and costs about half as much. I carry two extra powerlinks and a couple extra inside links in case I have to do trail side repairs.

Last week, when Cedar Fair released its revenues for the first half of 2009, it blamed Star Trek for part of the 11 percent drop in revenues.
Cedar Fair CEO Dick Kinzel cited several reasons for the revenue drop but said the closure of Star Trek: The Experience in late 2008 was one of them.
This might seem to be an episode of bad timing. The new Star Trek movie, simply named "Star Trek," has been a huge hit since its release in May and has garnered many rave reviews. It's widely credited with reviving interest in the franchise among younger couch potatoes.
Stacy Frole, Cedar Fair's spokeswoman, says that although Kinzel isn't from Vulcan, closing the show was perfectly logical.
The decision was made because the lease at the Hilton in Las Vegas expired, she said.
Don't look for Cedar Fair to revive it elsewhere.
"We have sold some of the assets to someone else," she said. "We felt it was really built for that location. To move the assets was not going to be advantageous for us."
Don't give up hope, Star Trek fans. Remember how Spock died in one movie and came back in another? The Wikipedia says Star Trek: The Experience will reopen at another location in Las Vegas in 2010.

Cars welcome on Kelleys, really
Kelleys Island was featured among Health Magazine's top 10 Healthiest Beach and Lake Destinations on NBC's the Today Show on Friday.
Dr. Roshini Raj, the magazine's medical editor, pitched the island as a secluded get-away with biking, water sports, inexpensive lodging and great local fish dishes at island restaurants.
"A lot of people don't know about it," Raj told Al Roker on the morning program.
Apparently that includes Raj. During the interview she said the island doesn't allow cars.
I hope eager visitors to our isolated isle aren't too disappointed when they realize they can drive onto the Kelleys Island Ferry.

Seeking: Guardian angel
Terry Montgomery is looking for his guardian angel. He credits that person for saving his life after a serious scooter crash two weeks ago in Sandusky. Montgomery said his scooter "got away from him," sending him flying onto the concrete. Slipping in and out of consciousness, he said he remembers a man coming to his side to rescue him. That man took him to Firelands Regional Medical Center, where he had between 80 and 90 stitches. Montgomery said he's now recovering but never got a chance to thank the man who found him.
"I don't know who he was," Montgomery said, "but he basically saved my life."
It just goes to show there might be angels among us after all.

I could say that a resolution for 2015 would involve more blog posts. But I won't.
Well, the best reason would be for me to write more novels. The other reason would be that I forget to blog and then bam, it's been six months.
Fret not, dear readers. I will still occasionally blog - in the erratic style to which I'm sure you've all become accustom to.
Now, the topic of today's post is the third book in the J. Carter & Associates series. This book has been more of a headache than I anticipated. While writing Fatal Target, my head was chock-full of ideas for Breaking Point. Then I finished Fatal Target and the ideas dried up. Woops.
Honestly, I over-planned for 2014. I think I had six releases planned. Guess how many actually got done? (One. One whole novella.)
|This novella, right here.
I was simply burned out and wanted nothing more than to sleep. Then when I wasn't sleeping, I stared at a blank page. Or, even better--worked on anything but Breaking Point. That's how Blood Ties came about (more on that later).
What's wrong with Breaking Point? My last major, complete 50K+ draft was written in 2008. There was no simple way to rework it, given that the previous two books were nearly complete rewrites of previous drafts. There were also two main characters in the draft we have yet to see in the series, who had to be written out. The tone was also lighter in some aspects.
Okay, cut the characters. Done. Well, next problem - how to make this a complete story then? Those characters contributed to some conflict in the third act. So I trashed the third act. You can see where this is going.
The villain remained. How Kat and Aidan met the villain and how Kat ended up taking a swim changed. Two scenes that stayed mostly the same were her abduction and her near-drowning. Even who rescues her changed.
One fun change was the introduction of Gwen DeFlair. We've seen Jesse DeFlair (a creepy cameo in Fatal Target) and we've heard about Patrick and Elektra DeFlair since book one. Gwen is one of my favorites because of her connection to Aidan. Like Kat, she's underestimated because of her gender. She's the child of a powerful figure, who happens to be a sadistic monster. Unlike Kat, she has siblings. She wasn't raised alone - she was protected by her brother. Gwen's the only girl in a sea of brothers and was born and raised in a man's world.
|Final cover art!
All I can say is - he's gotta lotta mommy issues.
Thanks to the maze of drafts, health setbacks, and everyday life, I'm proud to finally announce the eBook release date of January 25th, 2015 for Breaking Point. I sincerely think it will be worth the wait. I scrapped a lot of words and reorganized, reedited, and read, then reedited again and rewrote some more in order to make it the exciting book I hope you'll all enjoy reading.
Kat's story takes a backseat as we learn more about Aidan and where he came from - and why he's so determined to protect Kat.
I can't wait for you guys to (finally) read it!
Switching Gears
Early I mentioned Blood Ties as one of my diversions. My last blog post mentioned the Duality Blood Ties is a saga also set in The Vampire Diaries world. Blood Ties is about the bonds between family. It's the story of the Salvatore family from the 1860s to present day with one major addition - Elizabeth, Stefan's twin sister, and the only person to survive the Battle of Willow Creek and her brothers' bloodlust. Left alone in 1864, devastated by the death of her family, Elizabeth marries to save the family estate. In 2008, Lizzy Salvatore befriends a human historian writing a book on the Battle of Willow Creek while Damon terrorizes their home town and Stefan falls in love with a doppelganger named Elena.
|Book One
Over the decades and into centuries, the Salvatore siblings fight and often separate but they're still drawn together by the blood they share.
I've been doing a lot of researching and planning for this series, plus some rough drafts on FanFiction.Net as preparation. It's part historical saga and part romance.
Thicker than Blood is the first part, tracing mainly the 1860s from Katherine's arrival to Elizabeth becoming a vampire, along with modern-day Lizzy's budding relationship with Sam and reuniting with both her brothers in Mystic Falls. I have an arc of three-to-four titles planned. I hope to announce a release date for the first novella soon.

More hints Apple is going with Qualcomm GSM/CDMA chipset for iPad 2, iPhone 5?
Italian hacker Zibri went digging through iTunes and turned up some more hints that Apple just might be going with Qualcomm's hybrid GSM/CDMA hybrid chipset for iPhone 5.
In the picture above you see a "chunk" of code from the latest iTunes. Maybe, for the most of you, names like "partition.mbn" or "AMSS.MBN" means little or nothing. For me and a few others that means only one thing: QUALCOMM. Those files are the building blocks of any Qualcomm baseband.
So I can tell you that the next wave of iProducts will be using a QUALCOMM baseband. Which one I don't know... maybe the iPad2, maybe the iPhone5 most probably all of them.
Our buddy Mickey Papillon broke news of the Qualcomm chipsets back at CES 2010 so it'll be interesting to see if Apple finally pulls the trigger on them. It will be especially interesting to see if that means iPad 2 and iPhone 5 will be a dual-network releases, AT&T and Verizon in 2011?

More hints Apple is going with Qualcomm GSM/CDMA chipset for iPad 2, iPhone 5?
@colin, are you just looking at things in the room and saying you love them?
Apple being Apple will probably consolidate to as few SKU's as soon as they can and dual chipset would do just that. Thus avoiding separate production line requirements.
I wonder what if any problems this new baseband may create for the jailbreak community.

Someone who is more than just muscles.
This is just a study and not the final piece.

Im really liking this. Ive always like Hercules, and this actually gives him a face and not just a big musclebound chin. Cant wait to see the finished version, and any other Greek busts you might have. Hephaestus might be cool.

1) Can you remove the search field box on the header (top right)? and as far as the header image can I add a rotating image instead of a static image?
2) If a rotating image will work can I add lets say a profile picture of myself along with my name and have that stay static while the image behind my profile picture rotates every however many seconds I set it at?
3) On the right side where the 3 tabs are located (listing, blog, tips) can I remove that completely? and if so or not can I add social media icons (facebook, twitter, linkedin, etc) right above it?
4) Is there a limit to the # of widgets I can add on the right side of the homepage? (under the 3 tabs)
Sorry for all the questions but I want to make sure before purchasing if I can do the following.
Thanks in advance

1. yes, removing the search box requires one small modification to the stylesheet. Adding another rotating images script to the header can be done, but will require some more hacking.
2. you can, when you make that picture/name part of each image
3. yes, you can remove the tabs, and use a widget in the sidebar to add whatever content you want
4. Maybe WordPress has a limit, but I've never seen this happen.
hope these help, let us know if you require more informationRonald
