United States Department of Agriculture
Agricultural Research Service
'Global Change' refers to large-scale change in the Earth's biological, geological, hydrological, and atmospheric systems, whether of natural or human origin. The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) conducts a strategic National Program entitled 'Global Change' because agriculture is vulnerable to environmental change and because agriculture can, in turn, affect some of the factors contributing to these changes. We have long recognized that short-term environmental changes at regional scales, such as seasonal drought and late freezes, are primary causes of variation in crop yield and livestock productivity. We need to address the likelihood that agricultural and other terrestrial ecosystems also will be affected by long-term global-scale changes such as human impacts on the Earth's atmosphere and energy balance. At the same time, we must investigate the potential for agriculture to play a role in mitigating the factors affecting environmental change, for instance by sequestering carbon in soil.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 is losing Lily Rabe, who was cast to play Commander Lyme. She will be replaced by Game of Thrones actress Gwendoline Christie.
Back in February, Rabe decided to star in Much Ado About Nothing for New York's Shakespeare in the Park in June. According to TheWrap, Rabe did film her scenes for Mockingjay Part 1, but will have to leave before her scenes for Part 2 would be filmed.
Lionsgate decided to recast the role of a previous Hunger Games winner, picking Christie. The very tall actress is known for playing Brienne of Tarth on Game of Thrones.
Variety reports that director Francis Lawrence already started filming Part 1 and Part 2 in Georgia in September. Production will move to Paris and Berlin this spring. The studio has said that filming with the late Philip Seymour Hoffman was mostly completed, but he still had scenes for Part 2. There's no word on how the studio will handle that.
Catching Fire was released last November. The first part of Lionsgate's adaptation of Suzanne Collins' last Hunger Games book will be released on Nov. 21. Part 2 isn't set for release until Nov. 20, 2015.

Bone chilling cold grips Russia, Ukraine
In Russia, when temperatures drop to minus 20 degrees Celcius, its time for a swim.
Winter swimmers here have been enjoying their hobby for years, saying a dip in the cold water keeps them invigorated and full of energy.
This woman says she prefers to swim when it's really cold outside... when it's too warm, she says, the cold water burns.
In snow covered parts of the Ukraine, winter swimmers bob up and down in freezing water. And some top it off with a roll in the snow.
But if freezing water isn't your cup of tea, there are more conventional winter sports to be enjoyed.

Hybrid bilayer membranes
(HBM) are synthetic membrane mimics designed to form a biomimetic
surface. The basic HBM system consists of a lipid monolayer
adsorbed to an alkanethiol self-assembled monolayer. More
advanced versions have used different thiolates in the base layer
and cell membranes for the top layer. Atomic force microscopy
has been used to probe the kinetics of how these layers form as
well as assess the final structure. As a local probe of the
surface the AFM provides information complementary to non-local
probes such as IR spectroscopy, electrochemistry and small angle
neutron scattering. By combining these techniques we are
able to better understand HBM formation and exploit this knowledge
to better engineer these surfaces for applications in tissue engineering
and the study of membrane proteins.
As an example the AFM image below shows a COS cell membrane hybrid with a mixed alkanethiol/lipid underlayer. The dark blue areas are low and the white areas are high. The AFM was used to make holes in the HBM . The hole on the left goes through the entire hybrid bilayer and is 5.3 nm deep while the one on the right only goes through on the top (COS cell membrane) layer and is 2.3 nm deep.

Have you ever had fresh ginger before? For those of you who have, you know that it has a "spiciness" to it that is hard to explain. Depending on your tolerance for it, this spiciness can range from pleasant to unbearable. A year or two ago I took a trip to Montreal, Canada, and on the way up I was given some ginger candies. These were basically dried ginger pieces rolled in sugar, but not what you might think of when I say "candy."
They were so spicy! I ate a few because they tasted great, but I had no tolerance for the heat whatsoever. Depending on your personal preference for the heat of ginger, you can make this drink to suit your tastes as it combines a ginger syrup with carbonated water; the ginger syrup is a standard recipe, but you can adjust the amount of sparkling water to dilute the heat.
For mine, I filled a glass with ice and then poured in enough ginger syrup to fill a quarter to a third of the glass.
Top it off with sparkling water and be sure to stir it! You really need the water to dilute the syrup, otherwise you might be put off by how strong the syrup is!
This is a nonalcoholic beverage, but you could use this ginger syrup in a number of cocktails. The heat of the ginger that I keep talking about is different than the heat from your choice of liquor, which makes for an interesting sensation.
The fresh ginger in this recipe can be quite spicy. If you prefer a tamer drink, dilute with more carbonated water when pouring the drink.
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup ginger, peeled and chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced
- ice as needed
- carbonated water as needed
- In a pot, combine the water, sugar, and ginger. Bring to a boil and simmer for one hour, or until reduced by half.
- Strain the liquid to remove the ginger and chill until cold. Add lemon juice.
- Fill a cup with ice and pour enough syrup to fill the glass by one quarter. Add carbonated water to fill and stir well.

HOUSTON, Mar. 2 -- Newmex Minerals Inc., Calgary, changed its name to Pearl Exploration & Production Ltd., reflecting its transition to an oil and gas exploration and development company from a mining company.
Pearl's holdings include a 50% working interest in the San Miguel heavy oil development project in South Texas, a 45% working interest in the Palo Duro basin gas resource exploration project in North Texas, and varying interests in other US oil and gas production and exploration projects.
The holdings also include a plan of arrangement to acquire all outstanding shares of Pan-Global Energy Ltd., an oil and gas company holding a 95% interest in the Onion Lake production and development project along the Saskatchewan-Alberta border near Lloydminster.

When You Apply For Social Security Disability Do You Get Back Pay Benefits For the Five- Month Waiting Period?
Unfortunately, you will never receive back pay disability benefits for the five month waiting period. According to the Social Security Act, every person who is insured for disability benefits, not full retirement age, who has filed an application for Social disability and been found disabled will be entitled to disability benefits for each month beginning the first month following the five month waiting period.
Initially, the Social Security Act required a six-month waiting period prior to receiving benefits. However the waiting period was reduced to five calendar months in 1972.
Why does the waiting period exist? Well, apparently, since the goal of the government is to insure that disability benefits are only paid in cases involving severe and long lasting impairments, the waiting period was created to make sure that individuals applying for disability...had long term severe impairments rather than temporary disabling conditions. Congress determined that a waiting period would allow the claimant to recover, or at least show signs of recovery, if recovery was actually possible. Since the worker would most likely be without income during the waiting period, it would make it unprofitable for a worker not to work if they really were able to work. In this fashion, Social Security could ensure that disability benefits were only paid out to individuals who had impairments that precluded all substantial work activity.
However...having said all this, I have personally always believed that the waiting period should be abolished.
Despite the goals of the federal government that resulted in the creation of the waiting period, the 5 month waiting often works to do little more than deprive social security disability beneficiaries of the first five months of benefits to which they should be entitled. And it handily reduces costs. Even in 1955, Congress found that the waiting period reduced the cost of Social Security by 10 percent.
By contrast, SSI disability beneficiaries have no 5 month waiting period; in fact, after being approved they are eligible to receive disability benefits from the month they file for disability.
That SSI disability applicants are able to receive disability benefits beginning the first month they file an application (provided that they are found medically disabled as of that month)... while individuals who are insured for social security disability cannot receive benefits for their first five months of eligibility does seem unfair.
And compounding this inequity is the fact that title 2 Social Security disability beneficiaries are not eligible for Medicare benefits until 24 months after the first month they are eligible to receive a disability benefit, while SSI disability recipients are entitled to Medicaid immediately.
Many, of course, have argued that neither program should be subject to any waiting period and that both the five month payment waiting period and the 24 month medicare waiting period should be abolished. However, since the five month waiting period and the twenty-four month waiting period save the government money, it is unlikely that either of these waiting periods will be repealed anytime soon.

For over 25 years, Ed Ellis has performed close-up magic, sleight of hand illusions, and full time table side magic for Hollywood, TV, and sports celebrities. He is also an accomplished award winning drummer, and has played on stage with The Buddy Rich Band.
Ed has also performed his amazing close-up illusions at Las Vegas' Caesar's Palace, lectured at the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, and in 2005 was the star of the Ed Ellis TV Show.

Materialize -
A visual stunner! A seemingly impossible appearance of a card. Then it's repeated!
Aces Escape -
A classic plot where cards escape to the top.
Materialize Selection -
The impact of the "magician blew it" ploy is used here. The comeback is a visual stunner.
Ellis Fan Flourish Control and Billboard Display -
A suggested opener. A top card control followed by a one handed eye catching four card display.
Illusion or Reality -
A signed card begins to multiply... Then disappears and changes to four aces! Which can be shown front and back!
Double Double Surprise -
A suggested souvenir finale. This simple and powerful routine leaves them shaking their heads!
Jumping Jacks -
As pure as it gets! This is an ungaffed packet effect made with your cards!
Kubota Jacks -
A powerful transposition of two cards done with consistent looking moves.
The Great Escape -
A suggested ambitious finale. A card immediately escapes after being pushed into the deck. This effect seems impossible!
Style -
Multiple ways are shown to handle a card with flair.
Use Your Favorite Method -
Ed covers some basic moves, the double lift, Elmsley count and tilt are covered here.
Bonus -
A double lift is taken from the center of the deck face up! Very offbeat and cool!
So sit back, relax and enjoy this amazing DVD presentation, and see for yourself why many refer to Ed Ellis as the "World's Fastest Hands."

Tom Baldwin (trader)
Lucian Thomas Baldwin III is a bond trader investor and founder of the Baldwin Group of companies. He was described by the Wall Street Journal as the trader who can singlehandedly move the Treasury bond market.[1] His preferred instrument to trade is the 30-year bond in the pits of the Chicago Board of Trade.
After receiving his Masters degree in agribusiness Baldwin worked as a meat packer in Ohio. He took advice from a friend and moved to Chicago with the knowledge about trading he had obtained from a few courses taken at graduate school. With the U.S. experiencing high inflation in the early 1980s, treasury bonds became a preferred market for hedgers and speculators, resulting in high volume and trading activity. These bonds became Baldwin's favourite instrument to trade, and he leased a seat on the exchange.
As a full member director of the CBOT, Baldwin has been a part of its executive committee, Commodity Pool Operator/Commodity Trading Advisor committee among many other executive positions at the exchange. He currently serves as Chairman of Baldwin Group Ltd., the parent company of several investment and financial services. Companies in the group include: Baldwin Commodities Corp., a Treasury Bond Futures proprietary trading company, and Baldwin Managed Futures, a CTA. Baldwin is also the current owner of Granot Loma, the great American castle on the southern shore of Lake Superior in Marquette County, Michigan.

Cool Dead People
by Jane O'Boyle
ages: adult
First sentence: "More than two million people die each year in this country."
Support your local independent bookstore: buy it there!
There isn't really much to say about this slim little collection of obituaries. Either you will be fascinated by reading about dead people -- most of whom accomplished something, but weren't really Big News -- or you won't.
Thankfully, I was. There were several people who caught my attention, from the woman who was responsible for publishing George Lucas's novels, Princess Bride, and Mists of Avalon; to the brother of Jackie Robinson; to a stone mason who helped build Rockefeller Center; to Hitler's secretary; to the second wife of Anne Frank's father.
It's not a really deep or profound collection, but it kind of made me reflect on what people would say about me. It's mostly just fascinating. There ought to be more of these out there.

#20857 closed defect (bug) (fixed)
Failure to display admin menu on hover
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|has-patch commit
In the latest release of WordPress 3.4 (21007), there is a bug with the admin menus. The reproduction steps are as follows:
- Expand browser to over 900px width
- Ensure menu is not collapsed
- Ensure you are on a page that has a pop-out
- Reduce browser width to 900px or less, thus causing the admin menu to auto-collapse (and removing the option of expanding it)
If you follow these steps, when you hover on the currently selected menu item, it will not display the child menu. I have confirmed this bug on multiple computers in the following browsers (assume latest version unless otherwise specified): Chrome 21, Chrome 19, Firefox 12, Firfox 13, Firefox 14, Opera 11, Internet Explorer 10, Internet Explorer 9, and Safari 5.1.7. I have also confirmed that the bug does not exist on WordPress 3.3.2 in any of these browsers.

Confirmed as well. Doesn't happen in 3.3.2.

Page refresh doesn't help, the flyout is actually never displayed for an active responsively collapsed menu item.
20857.diff fixes the issue, came up with exactly the same patch.

Replying to SergeyBiryukov:
Page refresh doesn't help, the flyout is actually never displayed for an active responsively collapsed menu item.
20857.diff fixes the issue, came up with exactly the same patch.
If you remove
.no-js #adminmenu .wp-has-submenu:hover .wp-submenu,
on line 1340 (of 21007) the issue resolves itself, but I am not sure if that affects anything else, since it's a rather large amount of CSS. You could, alternatively, add a :hover after the CSS properties started on line 1734, which create the issue.
Edit: code for the second method (must go after line 1740)
#adminmenu .wp-has-current-submenu:hover .wp-submenu{display:block;}

Not the issue that needs to be solved here but wo should think about for 3.5: the responsive collapse really shouldn't remove the ability for the user to expand the menu. If they would rather have it expanded, it should be up to them. If we really thought collapsed was the best UI, that's what we would have all the time.

How long does it take to do a lie adjustment on 712 AP1's? I was originally told I'd have them back 7 business days after receipt. My irons were received 8 business days ago and no word. My local retailer is lees than helpful on helping me track them down. I have the Order number, but all the "Cameron's" that answer the 888-Titleist line (I have called 2 times and both times got a Cameron) tell me to go back to my retailer!
I have a city match play event this week and am without my irons!

Veterans Links of Interest Contact Us Quality Support Tools Hospitals participating in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP®) have access to a wide range of evidence-based support tools. Best Practices Guidelines The ACS NSQIP Best Practices Guidelines were designed to serve as complete, yet concise resources for healthcare providers and quality improvement professionals. They provide a framework that can be used to prioritize and direct efforts to address postsurgical complications. The Guidelines are evidence-based, and have been assembled through reviews of the current literature and consultation with expert panels. Best Practices Case Studies The ACS NSQIP Best Practices Case Studies booklet, issued yearly, showcases success stories of how participating hospitals have analyzed ACS NSQIP data and implemented quality improvement initiatives to better their performance and outcomes. Through the Case Studies, ACS NSQIP participants can learn from the experiences of other hospitals and develop similar initiatives within their own facilities. Risk Calculator Surgical consultations can require patients to deal with difficult and complex information, provoking anxiety that diminishes their ability to process information or recall vital details. In the past, surgeons have assessed the risks of surgery through the lens of their own experience. Today, ACS NSQIP data powers a preoperative risk calculator tool that allows clinicians to input an individual patient's risk factors, such as age, sex and BMI, into a statistical model that calculates the likelihood of various outcomes. Physicians receive charts indicating the patient's specific risk, based on their own risk factors. The tool aids physicians in speaking with their patients about risks and benefits of procedures and helps in the informed consent process. Risk calculators have been developed for common procedures, such as pancreatectomy, colorectal and bariatric surgeries, with calculators for additional procedures in development. They provide better predictive ability than most other models across a range of outcomes, including morbidity, serious morbidity and mortality. Collaboratives Collaboratives are groups of ACS NSQIP participating hospitals that come together to discuss best practices, quality improvement initiatives and/or to compare their surgical outcomes in a positive learning environment. There are currently more than 20 ACS NSQIP collaborative groups in existence or in development. Each collaborative group receives technical support and guidance from ACS NSQIP in developing data-sharing strategies, designing specialized reports and publicizing the group's efforts. Some collaboratives have partnered with payors. Payor involvement can reduce costs for hospitals and increase the number of participants in a collaborative. Collaboratives may be: Regional (e.g., Tennessee Surgical Quality Collaborative, comprising 10 hospitals) System-wide (e.g., Kaiser Permanente Northern California, with six hospitals) Virtual (e.g., uniting around a specific outcome or procedure, like colectomy or glucose control) Additionally, a rural pilot is being developed, tailored to the needs of small hospitals. National Conference Each year, the ACS NSQIP national conference provides a professional forum for Surgeon Champions, SCRs and other hospital employees involved in ACS NSQIP quality efforts to discuss and apply the most recent knowledge pertaining to national and local surgical quality initiatives. There are practical sessions on analysis and use of ACS NSQIP data as well as break out sessions on surgical topics and by level of ACS NSQIP experience. ACS subsidizes the session fees for two attendees from each site. (Attendees are required to pay a nominal administrative fee and travel expenses.) Monthly Surgeon Champion and SCR Calls Surgeon Champions and SCRs further their networking and learning opportunities by participating in monthly calls hosted by ACS NSQIP program staff. Each interactive monthly call focuses on a specific quality improvement or program topic, and participating sites often share their case studies and learnings with each other. Quality Improvement Primers ACS NSQIP primers are designed as concise resources for healthcare providers and quality improvement professionals. They contain information assembled through reviews of current literature and consultation with experts in the field. There are currently primers on two topics in this series: Statistical Process Control Charts Leading and Managing Organizational Change

Low Rates Produce Housing Interest
Lenders and mortgage brokers across the Louisville, Ky. metro area say they have seen a sharp increase in home buying activity since the Federal Reserve announced last month that it will buy up to $600 billion in mortgage-related assets. Loan applications have nearly doubled at Louisville-based Republic Bank since the governments announcement, said bank CEO Steve Trager. Kathy McGann, managing broker of Re/Max Properties East, said there has been an increase in traffic at open houses, and more written purchase offers, since interest rates dropped below the 6% level. Its definitely warmed things up, said McGann, whose office has 110 agents. Demand for housing will increase if rates stay low, giving consumers a better chance of selling their existing home perhaps at a higher price, said Dan Bauer, dean of the Rubel School of Business at Ballarmine University.

Long-Term Numbers Tell a Different Story
The latest federal statistics on housing prices in hundreds of local markets reveal patterns that havent been making the news. While on a national basis home owners have lost more than $1 trillion in equity since the end of the boom, the overwhelming majority of markets continue to show net cumulative value growth over the past 60 months. According to the third-quarter survey released Nov. 25 by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, out of 292 metro markets, 273 showed positive net home values over the course of the previous five years, while 19 were negative. Nationally, the survey found prices down 4% over the year, but still up almost 29% over five years. Unlike stocks, where your asset values can go from peak to zero in a matter of weeks, house values tend to be far slower moving, and can be more durable over extended periods. Buy a house and hold onto it for five to 10 years in all but the most severely depressed local economies, and youre likely to see positive growth in its value, even if a rough patch of price deflation intervenes. For example, In Washington, D.C. and much of its suburbs, an area that saw a 12.5% price decline in the past year, the cumulative gain for home owners over the past 60 months has been 43.7%. If you bought a $300,000 house in mid-2003, in other words, its likely to be worth about $431,100, despite this years drop. (www.washingtonpost.com)

Oklahoma City Mayor Pumps Up Local Home Market
Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett pumped up Oklahoma City as a top-tier market for home purchase and mortgage accessibility today. On the Miliken Institutes recently released list of best performing cities, Oklahoma City climbed 50 spots from the previous year and was one of the biggest gainers. Confidence is what leads people to buy a house, and the more you look at this data you realize that people in Oklahoma City and in the metro area have every reason to be confident and to still be pursuing homes and to continue to invest in real estate, Cornett said. All the factors are there. The Oklahoma City economy has slowed somewhat, but its still doing much better than everyone else. Our housing prices are still going up and the rest of the country looks at Oklahoma City with some level of envy. Greater Oklahoma City Chambers Roy Williams said the federal government announced that Oklahoma was the number one state for home-value gains and that Oklahoma City was one of the top 35 metro areas relative to home values.

A Spending Plan Is Crucial, Boston Fed Chief Says
The U.S. financial system wont return to normal until credit flows more freely, the housing market stabilizes and the federal government enacts a massive spending package to stimulate the economy, Boston Federal Reserve Bank President Eric Rosengren told a risk management conference in Geneva on Dec. 8. Given that interest rates cannot be negative, further monetary policy actions are limited, Rosengarten said. Many observers and commentators are suggesting that fiscal stimulus will be an important element of the economic recovery. Conditions have improved over the past several months because of the Feds actions, but credit markets remain under stress, he said. Short-term loans that finance business operations are still harder and more expensive to get, he added. Meanwhile, efforts to stem the rise in foreclosures and stabilize housing markets have made relatively modest progress because of rising unemployment and continued declines in home prices, Rosengren said. We need to see some improvement in the housing market. Stabilization in house prices and a drop in foreclosures would help the overall economy, as well as the banking sector, he said.

Builders Reinventing Roles Out of Necessity
In todays challenging times, residential builders continue to tap their other skills to diversify and make ends meet while they wait out the worst housing market since the Depression. Most of them, at least right now, say they plan to keep a foot in the sideline businesses to ease the pain of any future downturns. Curtis Perlman of Empeco Custom Builders has tapped into the knowledge of property tax assessments hes gained as a home builder and as an owner of several rental properties in Lake County, Ill. Now working with an appraiser and a real estate attorney, Perlman has hung out his shingle to do property tax appeals. Primarily through word of mouth, hes generated a fair share of consumers as clients, but hes also won business from some of his home-building competitors sitting on empty lots. Perlman, like a lot of other builders, also has made the natural progression into remodeling. Theres always going to be people who will remodel because they like where they live and dont want to move, said Bryan Nooner, chairman and chief executive of Distinctive Cos., an Orland Park-based home builder. Remodeling companies also benefit, he noted, from home owners who would like a new house but cant qualify for a mortgage. So, instead, they obtain a line of credit and tinker with their existing homes. Nooner, who has launched remodeling and landscape divisions this year, had to school employees on how to work in a house with people living in it, rather than build in an empty subdivision. He also had to investigate the legal issues involved with remodeling. He hopes to make the sideline business a larger part of the companys revenues in the long term because remodeling doesnt involve carrying land costs and his profit margins are similar to those in home building.(www.chicagotribune.com)

Builder Giving Away House at Eagles Game
Pulte Homes Inc.s Delaware Valley Division will give away a $300,000 home or that amount toward the purchase of one of its more-expensive houses in one of its 17 communities during the Browns vs. Birds game at Philadelphias Lincoln Financial Field on Dec. 15. More than 4,000 Eagles fans registered on the Eagles Web site to be one of three picked at random to toss a regulation NFL football through a hole in a miniature Pulte Hampton model home from 20 yards away. Gopal Ahluwalia, vice president of research at NAHB, said he had never heard of another builder actually giving away a house in such a way in his three decades with the association. Yikes, said Marshall Granor, a principal in Granor Price Homes in Horsham, Pa. I have seen free cars in the old days, it was a Yugo; now Ive seen ads for a free Porsche or Mercedes, but never a whole house. I guess Pulte believes the positive vibes will generate enough traffic for their salespeople to catch a few undecided buyers, Granor said. I think it is a big gamble, but its innovative. Still, he said, the publicity Pulte will reap from national television exposure and among Eagles fans is probably worth several times the builders outlay. (www.philly.com)

Computers, labs winning the battle against crime [Part 2 of a series]
In Part 2 of a week-long series, "Technology and Policing," we take a look at how advances in forensic science and phone apps have assisted New Jersey police departments with crime-solving.
"CSI," a popular crime drama television show on CBS, follows a group of forensic science technicians that use physical evidence, like DNA, footprints, blood stains and fingerprints, to solve homicide cases. Across New Jersey, law enforcement agencies are relying on forensic science to do the same.
Al Della Fave, a spokesman with the Ocean County's Prosecutor's Office, said forensic science has aided law enforcement tremendously with helping them develop some solid cases where individuals are now pleading guilty, due to the overwhelming amount of physical evidence against them, instead of choosing to "roll the dice" and go to trial.
When the crime scene evidence proves overwhelming, according to Della Fave, law enforcement refers to it as "checkmating" because there's nothing else the defendant can do, but plead out.
But forensic evidence can also work in favor of someone that is being fingered for a crime they didn't commit.
"It's just as important to show that it's the person, as it is to show that it's not the person," said Nicholas Irons, a criminal justice professor at County College of Morris.
In New Jersey, many local law enforcement agencies get help with their forensic science needs from the state police.
The Office of Forensic Sciences is a section within the New Jersey State Police Investigation Branch that runs four regional crime laboratories and one DNA laboratory. The labs are used to analyze body fluids, skeletal identification, drugs and arson. All of the labs are internationally accredited by The American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors-Lab Accreditation Board.
In addition to forensic science, some local police departments are relying on phone apps to aid in the battle against crime.
In Ocean County, a new app called MyPD connects citizens to a two-way channel of communication with law enforcement. People can get alerts from police about threats or other important matters, and they can send police important tips and information as well.
"The app for us is really a minimum cost of less than a thousand dollars to participate. It's paid for with drug forfeiture funds, so it's not coming out of the taxpayer's pocket, and it just makes us more accessible to the public we serve," Della Fave said.
Police departments are also looking to advances in technology in the air to help them keep the streets safe. Camden County officials used a blimp with a tethered camera to keep an eye on crowds during an event in August. In California, police departments are working on using drones to watch over things.

Lightfoot Obtains Defense Verdict for U.S. Steel
Mar 13, 2012
On March 7, 2012, Lightfoot attorney William Morrow and in-house counsel for United States Steel Corporation, Tony Jeselnik, obtained a defense verdict in a case brought against the company for alleged violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act. The plaintiff, a former employee at U.S. Steel's Fairfield Works, claimed that U.S. Steel interfered with her right to benefits guaranteed by the FMLA, and discharged her from employment in retaliation for her attempt to take FMLA leave. U.S. Steel argued that the plaintiff failed to give proper notice of any serious medical condition that qualified for FMLA leave, and that plaintiff was discharged for other reasons. The jury verdict followed three days of trial in the Northern District of Alabama.

It came as no great surprise last week when Donald Berwick, MD, announced his resignation as administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Faced with the near impossibility of being confirmed by Congress, he bowed out a month before the expiration of his recess appointment. The White House then announced its nomination of Medicare Deputy Administrator Marilyn Tavenner as his replacement.
|Marilyn Tavenner
Berwick was disliked by congressional Republicans for his support of centralized healthcare delivery and England's National Health Service model. A former Harvard professor and healthcare think tank founder, he was considered a reformist visionary and policy idealist—which destined him as a target in the crosshairs of the political opposition.
Tavenner, by contrast, is known for her practical, hands-on management style, born out of her background as a nurse turned hospital administrator.
In a revealing profile of Tavenner in The Washington Post, her colleagues at Virginia's Health and Human Services department, which she headed prior to being called up to CMS, recall Tavenner more for her personality and management style, and less for the policies she promoted. "What always struck me was her attitude of, how will this help the patient?" said Terry Dickinson, executive director of the Virginia Dental Association, in the Post article. "You better be prepared to talk about that when you meet with Marilyn. You can tell what she's thinking: it can't be about the dentist, it's got to be about the patient."
Long-term care groups have praised Tavenner's appointment, noting her depth of experience in working with skilled nursing providers. "Marilyn Tavenner is a strong choice to lead CMS because of her reputation as a smart, competent administrator, and because she has a strong working knowledge of how Medicare and Medicaid funding adequacy are both integral to the ongoing ability of SNFs to provide high quality long-term and post-acute care to U.S. seniors," said Alan G. Rosenbloom, president of the Alliance for Quality Nursing Home Care. "The Alliance looks forward to working with Ms. Tavenner to ensure that regulatory changes such as therapy reforms and payment adjustments are implemented in a manner that ensures stability in the SNF sector."
Mark Parkinson, president and CEO of the American Health Care Association, offered a similar endorsement: "Marilyn Tavenner shares our commitment for the elderly and I look forward to working in stronger partnership with her in the future."

Jewel Cave National Monument
Beneath the sun-burnt surface of South Dakota lies a stunning labyrinth of crystal, rock, and shadow.
Jewell Cave is the second-longest cave on the planet.
To date, spelunkers have charted 145 miles of echoing caverns and narrow tunnels.
Every year, highly skilled cave hunters penetrate a few miles deeper into its winding passages, yet geologists believe a great deal of Jewell Cave still remains unexplored.
What have they found? Calcite that sparkles like stars on a moonless night. Spiders made of gypsum. Boulders strewn about like children's toys. Delicate mineral balloons. Precious treasures that tell a story millions of years old.
It's really, really cool. (Literally—it's cold down there. The caverns hold steady at 49 degrees year round. So don't forget your jacket, dude.)
At Jewell Cave National Monument, you can take a guided tour of this geologic treasure chest. There's also much to see above ground, including a 1,200-acre pine forest, more than 100 species of birds, and walking trails surrounded by wildflowers.

The Jasper Fire in 2000 consumed part of the pine forest at Jewell Cave National Monument. The recovery process is now well under way, and offers important lessons in wildfire management and the healing capacity of nature.

Today I'll rest some, maybe buy myself some plants, but most of all I'll think about my Mother, who I still miss so much, after ten years, and my mother-in-law.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you, we all deserve it!
JanieView Thread
Happy Mother's Day to you as well. I hope you have plenty of down time, you deserve it. I haven't made any plans for the day, but it's a beautiful spring day, may go out and buy some plants for myself. I had my mother's day dinner last night, my daughter and son-in-law came and brought dinner. She had sent a crew of men to my house to do a surprise yard clean-up while I was gone, she knew I was upset about not feeling up to doing it myself this year. She couldn't have given me anything better. My son lives in Raleigh,NC, sent flowers, so am hoping for a phone call from him.
I've been in Seattle, and all around that area for several weeks, it was a lovely trip, had beautiful weather, odd for that area. But, I'm having to catch up with everyone here, find out what's going on with each one. You sound very up, but you always do, wish I could give you a hug, you always make my day when you post.
I wish you a Happy Mother's day and all blessings,

I'm so very glad that Kaiden is doing better and getting back to his normal activities, plus a few new ones, it sounds like. Thank goodness for his wonderful doctor.
I'm now just dying for blueberry pie. I've never been to Maine but it's one of the few states I have to cross off my list now. I'm sitting in the Amtrak lounge in Chicago while I type this. We drove to South Bend to catch train (drove from Virginia) because we love a place we stay there, and also to eat dinner at a restaurant called the Tippecanoe Place, it's the old Studebaker family mansion. Had a lovely dinner, and some great wine. We're headed to Seattle with no particular plan, just go to some favorite places to photograph and see what the weather allows.
Best to all,
JanieView Thread
Anyway, I wish you the best and hope you'll keep coming back to give updates.
Best of luck,

Sorry I didn't see your post sooner, have had a busy week of appointments, three hours away from my home. I'm so glad you're keeping the biopsy appointment, I believe in anyone's right to alternatives to traditional methods, my best friend has chosen this route to her bc. My own cancer came on so fast, stage 3 and very aggressive. I'm going the traditional route all the way, at Duke Cancer Center. I have never been sorry, although it is tough at times.I would have been frightened to choose anything but this course of treatment.
I'm hoping for the best for you and will check back to see how the biopsy went. I've had several and didn't find them awful at all, hope yours goes well.
JanieView Thread
Have to add my congratulations and best wishes to you and your BW. All good advice here, celebrate, hug her often, and be happy. I'm sure you both feel like you can breathe normally again. Please come back and say hi, and all the best to you and family.
JanieView Thread
I hope you will come back and let us know what happens with the appointment. There are many women on this board with a world of experience on the topic of breast cancer. I still feel like the new kid on the block, having just completed my treatment, and don't feel qualified to give you medical advice but please know that I care and am wishing the best for your sister and your family.

Jenna, I dance in my kitchen too. I'm 68 on the outside (about 34 on the inside), so I wait until no one is around. I know Maroon 5 and also like Adam, but at my age it's usually the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Rolling Stones, etc. I heard on some program the other day that dancing in your kitchen is some of the best stress relief and exercise. I have stress fractures in both feet that don't want to heal because of chemo, so my husband got me a huge anti-fatigue mat for the entire area where I prepare meals and I can still dance on that.
Roberta, I truly wish we could all be there to party with you,drink a little wine, eat those strawberries, dance with the cabana boys, act up and get unruly. I'd love it. Best to you,
JanieView Thread
I'm so glad to hear from you, and so glad you're back. I've been wondering about you but not surprised that you've been gone for awhile. I know how intense this period in the process is, and especially with the problems you've had. I'm so sorry that you need another surgery. I know that before my own diagnosis, I thought that breast cancer meant diagnosis,surgery, treatment, then you got a new breast, period. Now I know what a babe in the woods I was. You know I wish you the best, and will be thinking of you, positive thoughts.
Roberta, I was so glad to see you here. I haven't checked in for awhile, DH and I both having medical issues, and we practically live in doctors' waiting rooms. I hope you are well, and that Kaiden is a happy baby again.
Best to you,

HD-CVI PTZ Elite Series 1.3 MP - 720P 20X
We ordered this camera for our new HD-CVI system from this Security Camera King web page on a Monday morning and we received it at our door on Thursday. The camera was in perfect shape with no shipping damage and was basically ready to go once it was plugged in and mounted. It has a good video picture with nice 720p resolution detail and when you add the 20X optical zoom to that resolution, there really isn't much detail that you can't pick up. WE have a Security Camera King DVR and we use the "3d" or "intelligent" positioning system whereby we can use the mouse to control the PTZ. We've had no issues and the camera is working fine.

This camera fits in well as an outdoor PTZ camera for an HD-CVI system. The 720p high definition resolution video is a good quality video in normal light with a crisp picture and vibrant colors. As long as there is a little ambient light, night time capturing in black and white is also pretty good. The zoom lens has a magnification power of 20x and it does work rather well. Actually, teaming up the 20x zoom with a high definition picture can yield amazing results in many circumstances. We have had very good success with this camera. We installed and configured it ourselves and ran into a small glitch. We contacted Security Camera King technical support and they took care of the issue for us right away. We would recommend this camera.

This camera is an excellent purchase. The price is reasonable yet the camera has a high definition out put that just works great. This camera works basically like any other PTZ camera with high definition but it does get a longer transmission range. The PTZ movements are quick and precise and the camera moves without causing any vibration that effects the video capture. In an excellent quality PTZ camera for HD-CVI systems and it's nice to see Security Camera King carry them (these are difficult to find right now). Their tech support department was a big help for me too.

Vacation Rental Blog » Analytics » Vacation Rental Analytics: Group/Party Size
What is the ideal party-size for your rental? Do you know? More importantly, do your prospective guests know? For the sake of discussion, let's assume the perfect number of people you can accommodate is 4. Do you know what percentage of your inquiries are indeed from a group with a party-size of 4? Or 3? Or 8?
The point I'm making is that if a high (or inappropriate percentage) of guests who are inquiring about your property are indicating they need accommodations for something higher than 4, then you might have a problem with how your property is presented on the various channels you use to promote it.
We recently released a new analytics chart that was requested by a member of the Rentallect user community — it can illuminate what you need to know about party-size.
The video below gives a demo showing it in action.

Boycott Bing until they un-censor search results?
Why should we boycott Bing, Microsoft's search engine wannabe rival to Google? Because they're even more craven than their competitors, willing to toss "freedom" aside in favor of "money." To be exact, they're willing to censor Chinese and Tibetan citizens' "freedom," so Bing can make (Chinese Communist) money. Mr. Kristof of the New York Times:
Critics have accused President Obama of kowtowing to Chinese leaders, by failing to meet dissidents, toning down his criticisms and delaying a meeting with the Dalai Lama. On balance, I think that criticism is premature: Confrontation doesn't help with China and can hurt, and so engagement becomes a fine line to navigate. The Obama visit wasn't a ringing success, but neither was it a craven embarrassment.
For the latest craven kowtowing, we can look somewhere else: Microsoft and its new search engine, Bing.
Western corporations have often behaved embarrassingly in China, sacrificing any principles to ingratiate themselves with the Communist Party authorities. Yahoo was the worst, handing over information about several email account holders so that they could be arrested – and then dissembling and defending its monstrous conduct. Now Microsoft is sacrificing the integrity of Bing searches so as to cozy up to State Security in Beijing. In effect, it has chosen become part of the Communist Party's propaganda apparatus.
If you search a term on Bing that is politically sensitive in China, in English the results are legitimate. Search "Tiananmen" and you'll find out about the army firing on pro-democracy protesters in 1989. Search Dalai Lama, Falun Gong and you also get credible results. Conduct the search in complex Chinese characters (the kind used in Taiwan and Hong Kong) and on the whole you still get authentic results.
But conduct the search with the simplified characters used in mainland China, then you get sanitized pro-Communist results. This is especially true of image searches. Magic! No Tiananmen Square massacre. The Dalai Lama becomes an oppressor. Falun Gong believers are villains, not victims.
What's most offensive is that this is true wherever in the world the search is conducted – including in my office in New York...for the rest, and it's well worth it, click over to NYTimes.com.
Incorrect source, offensive, or found a typo? Email us (please put title in subject bar of email so we'll be able to fix). Or do you want to write for Elephant?

2 Responses to "Boycott Bing until they un-censor search results?"
And besides, it's a lousy search engine! We have new computers where I work. Of course they were defaulted to Bing as a search engine. I changed them all to Google (which admittedly has problems of its own!). Thanks for this info. Scary stuff.
[…] really, really shouldn't be evil. So while we sit back and shoot spitballs at Google (and Bing, and Yahoo, and now Apple) for colluding with our Commie Brethren across the sea in censoring […]

Epstein on the Difficulty of Setting Executive Compensation
Steering Clear Of The Executive Compensation Bog
June 16, 2009
It's hardly news to anyone that deregulation has become a dirty word in the Obama administration. All of the many ills of recent times in the industrial and financial sectors are chalked up to the hardy duo of misaligned market incentives and corporate greed, which cry out for increased government oversight--never mind how. The usual libertarian presumption that state interference is an evil until shown to be a good sits unmourned in the regulatory dustbin. In today's heady environment the only question worth asking is which ill-suited regulator should take the lead.
