Released: April 21, 2014
WC Docket No. 13-39
Comment Date: (7 days after date of publication in the Federal Register)The Wireline Competition Bureau seeks comment on whether guidance or additional clarification
would assist providers with their filing obligations related to the Rural Call Completion Order.1
Specifically, we seek comment on whether to modify or otherwise provide assistance regarding the
criteria described in Appendix C of the Rural Call Completion Order for categorizing certain types of call
attempts. We release this Public Notice in response to questions raised in the record regarding the
"answered" and "ring no answer" categories of call attempts described in Appendix C, pursuant to
delegated authority.2 These questions raise the possibility that the relevant criteria in Appendix C were
inadvertently drafted in a way that fails to reflect the Commission's clear intent, as expressed in the
"Answered" call attempts. The reporting requirements in the Rural Call Completion Order
require covered providers to categorize call attempts either as "answered" or as one of three types of calls
that are not answered: "busy," "ring no answer," or "unassigned number." The Rural Call Completion
Order defines "answered call" as
a call that was answered by or on behalf of the called party (including calls completed to
devices, services or parties that answer the call such as an interactive voice response,
answering service, voicemail or call-forwarding system), causing the network to register
that the terminating party is prepared to receive information from the calling user.3
The Commission emphasized that "the call answer rate is the data point least susceptible to variations in
data reporting or to differences in the quality or accuracy of signaling: the called party either answered
the call or did not answer the call."4
1 Rural Call Completion, WC Docket No. 13-39, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking,
28 FCC Rcd 16154 (2013) (Rural Call Completion Order or Order).
2 See id. at 16184, para. 66 ("[Wireline Competition] Bureau staff will work with providers to ensure that the
providers have the tools they need to complete and file the form [in Appendix C] in the least burdensome manner
3 Id. at 16187, para. 72.
4 Id. at 16186, para. 71.
Appendix C of the Rural Call Completion Order provides a spreadsheet that covered providers
must use to file the required call completion data with the Commission each quarter.5 The legend
accompanying the spreadsheet identifies specific "ISUP Cause values and corresponding SIP Response
messages" for each category of call attempt.6 An "answered" call is described in Appendix C as a call
attempt "signaled back with ISUP 16 & 31 and SIP BYE & CANCEL."7
In recent meetings with Commission staff, Level 3 and Verizon explained that release cause
code 16—one of the codes identified in Appendix C as denoting an answered call—is also used to
indicate that the calling party has hung up before the called party answered.8 Level 3 contends that
including calling-party hangups as answered calls would result in a "much higher" reported call-
completion rate than a provider would report if it excluded them.9
In this Public Notice, we seek comment on this contention and on whether it would assist
providers if the Bureau clarified that, as specified in the Order, covered providers should record and
report calls as "answered" only to the extent that such calls satisfy the definition of "answered call" that
appears in paragraph 72 of the Rural Call Completion Order 10 Appendix C could be clarified to
eliminate any basis for interpreting it inconsistently with the definition of "answered call" in the Order.
If so, should the description of "answered call" in Appendix C be revised to include a different
description (e.g., a different set of release codes) of how networks identify answered calls?11 Or should
the legend in Appendix C simply be deleted, allowing each covered provider to identify answered calls in
a manner consistent with the definition in the Rural Call Completion Order and with industry practice?
"Ring no answer" call attempts. The Rural Call Completion Order requires covered providers to
record and report "ring no answer" call attempts, which are required to calculate the network
effectiveness ratio (NER).12 A "ring no answer" call is described in Appendix C as a call attempt that is
"signaled back with ISUP 18 & 19 and IP 408 & 480." 13
Level 3 asserted that some of the criteria in Appendix C for "ring no answer" call attempts will
only capture a very small percentage of the intended call attempts.14 Verizon expressed concern about
using call signaling data to identify "ring no answer" calls at all.15 We therefore seek comment on
5 Id. at 16218, Appx. C.
6 These terms are release cause codes that are used within the network to identify the outcome of a given call.

14 Level 3 Jan. 29, 2014 Ex Parte at 2 (stating that "release cause codes 18 and 19 are used so infrequently (typically
less than 1% of calls), and in Level 3's experience, only on calls that the terminating LEC disconnects because of
excessive ringing, that tracking these codes serves little practical purpose").

conversation duration measures, cannot distinguish between calls where the caller heard ringing before hanging up

clearer guidance to covered providers, and if so, how. Alternatively, should the legend in Appendix C be

Weka's Winning WaysWaikato University's Computer Science Machine Learning Group has won the 2005 SIGKDD Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Service Award for their landmark product Weka.
The award is the highest service prize in the field of data mining and knowledge discovery. It is given to an individual or group who has performed significant service to the data mining and knowledge discovery field, including professional volunteer services in disseminating technical information to the field, education, and research funding.
The group was recognised for their development of the freely-available Weka Data Mining Software, and the accompanying book Data Mining: Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques (now in second edition), which has become one of the most popular textbooks for data mining and machine learning. It is frequently cited in scientific publications.
This is the second year in a row that the Computer Science Department has received an international honour after its Digital Library Group won the biennial IFIP Namur award in 2004.
Spokesperson Professor Ian Witten says that to win two international awards in successive years, in very different areas, is quite a coup for the Computer Science Department.
"The team has put a tremendous amount of effort into continuously developing and maintaining the system," he says. "The Weka Data Mining Software has been downloaded 200,000 times since it was put on SourceForge in April 2000. It is currently downloaded at a rate of 10,000/month. The Weka mailing list has over 1100 subscribers in 50 countries, including subscribers from many major companies."
Professor Witten says that there are 15 well-documented substantial projects that incorporate, wrap or extend Weka, and no doubt many more that have not been reported on Sourceforge.
The award, a plaque and $2,500, is to be presented at the 11th ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining being held in Chicago on August 21st.
The development of Weka was funded by a grant from the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology.

Fashion designers, makeup artists, DJ's, guests and fashionistas all gathered together under one roof for a night of fun, art, fashion and to support a good cause! The event Exhibit Ambush Phase 2, which is a collaborative fashion event set to happen October 19th which will feature fashion emerging designers from San Diego as well as New York fashion designers Jesus and Antonio Estrada. Jesus has been featured on Project Runway and Antonio on Discovery Español. The hostess for that night will be Leslie Hughes from the latest season of The Bachelor. The hostess of the night was Antoinette Ransom, executive producer of Ambush Exhibit 2. Once I arrived at the salon it felt like I walked into an art museum rather than a hair salon. Beautifully decorated with art pieces and wall art paintings. The fashion event also benefited the Susan G. Komen foundation dedicated to breast cancer research. There were pink colored cupcake and pink ribbon decorated cookies on display for guests to enjoy. Proceeds of the Fashion week San Diego tickets went to the foundation as well. There were designers who will feature their spring summer collections for 2014 at the pop up show and displayed their work of art. It gave the guests a sneak peak at what to expect for the big event. The night was filled with artist, designers, dj's spinning the latest hits, as well as models, fashionistas and a few familiar faces from last years fashion week San Diego. Whitney Nicole from Creative Fashionista was in attendance to promote her new spring summer 2014 collection. I caught up with the designer as she opened up on her latest collection that she will showcase at the Exhibit in October. "I am going to be presenting a forgotten love affair which is inspired by ballet and the love and passion behind ballet. Everything I have made I think how you could perform in it". So will the creative fashionista be participating at this years San Diego Fashion week again?" Not this year but hopefully next. This year I will be showing more of my gowns from red carpet to attire clothes to wedding and menswear". Whitney will be performing at Ambush Phase 2 show in October where she will be showcasing her collections.The designers displayed their works of art on manikins giving the theme of an art gallery. The night celebrated all forms of art, from body painting, to art paintings, to stand up poetry. Another designer who caught my eye was Jacqueline Banting who is all about using unconventional materials and recyclables for her fashion collections. " I did a show two years ago and I used hard plastic for my collection. This year I wanted to do something different and I thought trash bags were most versatile. It helps you think outside the box". Jacqueline will be showcasing her spring summer collection 2014 at next months Ambush Phase 2 fashion event. One interesting thing about this creative designer is she is self taught and never attended a fashion college for training. Her adorable bathing suit designs are a work of art in themselves.©2013 ©2013 The Los Angeles FashionLeave a Reply Cancel ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.

inspired by the wonderful work in this thread, I wrote my own implementation of the EBU R 128 standard.
It is written in plain ANSI C and designed as a library, so you can use it in your own code. It's licensed under the MIT license.
I've also implemented a simple scanning tool, which outputs something like this:

Hey Raiden you are great!!! Not only are you on the cutting edge of the spec but also do it all well. FYI I've tested libebur128 with the test set provided by Qualis AudioI'm glad that it works for you!
and ALL test have passed perfectly!!! (except test #2 which is ac-3 encoded 5.1 and I'm not sure if libebur128 can handle this)
I've had a quick look at LM2.wav, and it seems to be just a normal stereo 24-bit PCM wave file at 48000 Hz. They say in TechNote #2:
This signal is Dolby Digital encoded andI don't have any idea what they mean.
stimulates all channels simultaneously, including
the LFE.
Also, does anyone know why they use a 75% overlap instead of a 50% overlap?
-It should be sufficient to indicate 1 decimal point in dB figures. For example, some test that should measure -23.0 LUFS according to Qualis, measure -22,97 LUFS in libebur. Of course it is the same but it just doesn't look so good And I think EBU Tech docs use 1 decimal point always.You're right. I've been using two digit precision because it's a bit more helpful in debugging.
- Please make the True Peak measurement in dBTP!!! At first I thought the measurement was wrong (0,793..) but of course this is linear for -2.0 dBTP !! Good work!!!I will add an option for displaying the peak in dBTP.
Could someone guide me through the steps of how to build an executable for OSX from source code? is it complicated? Does it imply modifying the code? I have XCode (mainly because of some bundled apps) but I have no idea where to startI don't know much about OSX, but you'll probably need to use some kind of ports system like MacPorts.
A command like "sudo port install libsndfile taglib cmake glib2" should install all needed dependencies to build the r128-sndfile scanner with the instructions in the README.

Background: Intra-articular corticosteroid injection (IACI) of betamethasone depot preparation is a popular procedure at the knee joint. Intra-articular corticosteroid injection in general could be associated with systemic effects including suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. There are nearly no reports on the effect of IACI of betamethasone at the knee joint on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
Method: Consecutive patients attending the rheumatology or orthopedic clinic with osteoarthritic knee pain who were not responding satisfactorily to medical and physical therapy were allocated to group 1 after consent and given IACI of 6 mg of betamethasone acetate/betamethasone sodium phosphate. After completion of this part, consecutive age- and sex-matched patients were allocated to group 2 and given intra-articular injection of 60 mg of sodium hyaluronate. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and radiographic variables were documented. Just before the knee injection and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 weeks later, patients had 1-μg adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) stimulation test. Secondary adrenal insufficiency (SAI) was defined as levels of less than 18 µg/dL and lack of a rise of more than 6 µg/dL in serum cortisol level, 30 minutes after the ACTH stimulation test.
Patients were blinded to the injected material, and all injections were ultrasound guided.
Results: Twenty patients were enrolled in each group and equally divided between the 2 sexes. The mean age of the patients was approximately 54 years in both groups. No significant difference in any variable was seen between the 2 groups. One patient only from group 1 (the betamethasone group) had SAI 3 weeks after the IACI compared to none in the control group (P > 0.9999). His serum cortisol level 30 minutes after the ACTH stimulation was 17 µg/dL, with a rise of 3 µg/dL from baseline.
Conclusion: Intra-articular corticosteroid injection of 6 mg of betamethasone acetate/betamethasone sodium phosphate at the knee joint was not significantly associated with SAI at the time points tested.

Briefly: Opera supports Android tablets, Dropbox adds notifications
updated 07:48 am EST, Wed November 20, 2013
Opera adds tablet mode to Android app
Opera has updated its browser for Android with dedicated support for tablets. Rather than taking the approach of Coast, version 18 of the Chromium 31-based Android app continues to offer a similar experience as before, with the Discover, data-saving Off-Road and Speed Dial being updated to match the larger display size. Improvements to the search engine list, fixes to fullscreen video playback, and other stabilization and performance changes are also touted.
Dropbox for Android adds notifications feed, sharing to contacts, new payment options
The Android version of the Dropbox app has received a few changes, making it easier to share files from a smartphone. Photos and videos can be sent directly to contacts on a phone, while a new notifications feed provides quicker access to recently uploaded files. The app also introduces new payment options to upgrade to Pro accounts, including the ability to take a photograph of a credit or debit card to input the payment details instead of typing them in manually.

In a story published today the Irish Independent's Caroline Crawford reports that the Irish Governement is set to intervene in an ongoing row between the Irish organisers of the Volvo Ocean Race and creditors – providing close to €200,000 to cover the outstanding debts. Extracts from her story are published here.
Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore and Minister Simon Coveney with the Volvo Ocean Race trophy in 2012
She says 'Almost two years on from the event, a number of businesses have still not been paid for services provided during the Galway stopover of the Volvo Ocean Race 2012.
'Organisers Let's Do It Global have been seeking government assistance to pay off some of the money owed. They say they had been promised donations from various businesses, but some of these pledges failed to materialise, leaving them unable to pay suppliers.
'It is understood that the additional funds will be made available by either the Department of Tourism or Marine. Talks have already taken place with Marine Minister Simon Coveney and officials in the Department of Tourism.
'Failte Ireland invested €4m of its €6m annual festival budget in the event in 2012, paid directly to the Volvo Ocean Race as a fee for hosting the finale. The rest was funded through sponsorship by Galway organisers Let's Do It Global.
'But the company was left struggling to pay creditors after a number of companies failed to make good on their pledges.
Let's Do It Global then attempted to raise the funds to pay off €400,000 owed to contractors and suppliers. It is understood that around €200,000 is now needed to cover the outstanding debts of a small number of creditors.
'The vast majority of creditors have been repaid but there was a shortfall and some creditors are outstanding. About €200,000 will cover everyone that is left. It would leave the event with a clean slate,' said the source.
'One report suggested that the event was of €60.5m benefit to the economy of the West of Ireland.'

Anti-bullying programs are working to create more positive environments in local schools, say teachers and administrators.
To adhere to the state's requirements and reduce incidents, many districts have incorporated anti-bullying programs into the curriculum.
Principal Kimberly Muir of Woodmere Elementary School in Eatontown said her district's Responsive Classroom Program has reduced problematic behavior since its implementation three years ago. The program has delivered better teacher-student interaction, higher grades, and more polished social skills among the ...

Heres my first portrait upload...i dont take a lot of portrait shots tbh, but in this case i felt it was worth uploading.
Its a picture of my girlfriend, Debbie, taken in Madrid last week... In fact it was thanks to her that I went to Madrid...
Id like to dedicate this photo to her, shes been through a lot with me and altho i could never tell you how much she means to me, Let me try explain to you just how good she is...
Last year i turned 21, and for my birthday she got me flying lessons (i should prob point out that when i was young i always wanted to be pilot, but because of health problems that was never going to happen!)...so it seemed like the perfect gift!....However about this time last year i ended up back in hospital and while i was in i developed a blood clot which has stopped me being able to go on the flying lesson since!...
The rest of the year hasnt been much better, between being sick and in college half the week. I really aint been the easiest person to be in a relationship with!...But shes stuck with me all the time and helped me through.
On top of always being there for me, she decided for my birthday this year to bring me to Madrid to see Firehouse (a forgotten but Brilliant band!...one of my favorite bands too!)....
She really is someone very dear to me... and i love her to bits!...
So this shot is dedicated entirely to her!...
Hope you like the photo anyways!

It's a well taken photo but I just don't like it! But that's cos I don't like being in front of the camera! I'm usually the one behind it. And Aidan you're making me blush!..well not really, but thanks for the comment! I have to say though that I'd be lost without Alan, I've been friends with him six years and we've been together over two and a half years and I've never been happier. And to Alan: I hate that you're sick so often and I'm completely fed up with Beaumont feckin hospital! but it's worth it to be with you and to love you and to know how much you love me too. Oh and I think I'll point out that this was taken in the pub...we spent our last day in Madrid in an Irish pub! So typical!

Error won't be just another Epitaph band, simply because they intend on being the Epitaph band...well, at least for the time being. Bad Religion founder and fellow Epitaph guru Brett Gurewitz joins ex-Tapeworm/Nine Inch Nails contributor Atticus Ross, his brother Leopold, and Dillinger Escape Plan vocalist Greg Puciato for the maddening experiment that is Error. Their self-titled EP trips down memory lane by plugging heavy industrial-dance beats with more stylized electronic rhythms for a nihilistic set. Who knew Gurewitz, who's entering his forties, still had the steam to create a ruckus? From the explosive punk metal mix of "Nothing's Working" to the freakish electronic storm of "Burn in Hell," Error is far from miscalculating this jaunt. Between Puciato's violent screaming and Atticus Ross' intricate programming, the Error EP manages to capture everything alt-metal wishes it was with a brave new punk rock face. If the band's cover of 999's "Homicide" doesn't remind you of how great Front 242 and Skinny Puppy were in the late '80s, you've completely missed the point. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi

Secure donations by Network for Good
As if the grand opening of African Elephant Crossing on Thursday, May 5 wasn't enough excitement for one week, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is releasing its very own iPhone app!
At 183 acres, navigating the Zoo can sometimes be a little challenging, especially for first-time visitors or parents with small children.
The new app is designed to ease navigation, and enhance the Zoo experience by providing detailed GPS enabled maps (including one just for the new African Elephant Crossing exhibit), allowing visitors to pinpoint their exact location and guide them to the exhibits and animals they want to see.
The app also provides fun animal facts, points of interest, info about special events and the location of amenities such as restrooms, concession stands and gift stores.
The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo app is available for download from Apple's iTunes app store, and best of all, it's free!
"We're very excited to debut our new phone app alongside our largest capital improvement in the last 20 years, African Elephant Crossing," said Zoo Marketing & PR Manager Sue Allen. "Less than a dozen zoos in America have iPhone apps, and that combined with our new 5-acre, $25 million elephant exhibit really moves Cleveland Metroparks Zoo into the top tier of accredited zoos nationwide."
Over the summer the Zoo will make updates available with plans to add customized tours, horticulture garden info, videos, Zoo history and more. An Android version is also in the works and could be available by the end of the year.
The Zoo's mobile app is powered by inSitu Solutions, an application developed by Quebec-based firm Kanvasys. inSitu Solutions is a cross-platform application (web and mobiles) that helps publish location-based content to inform, attract and retain visitors. The application is scalable, flexible, easy to update and very adaptable. A content management system allows zoos, aquariums and other attractions to simultaneously manage content in several languages for the web, kiosks and mobile devices, including smart phones and tablets.
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily with hours extended to 7 p.m. on weekends and holidays from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Admission is $11 per person, $8 for kids ages 2 to 11 and free for children younger than 2 and Zoo members. Parking is free. Located at 3900 Wildlife Way, the Zoo is easily accessible from Interstates 71, 90 and 480.

My foobar2000 just went from Hardcore "Scooter" to gentle "Enya"... And I thought "We live in 2008, it MUST be possible to analyze audio data for it's energy and generally adapt a simple category for it, something like "sad/romantic/happy/energy".
I know this has been discussed several times already, and I'm not looking for a bunch of posts about this being impossible, but positive thoughts about how this could be done! This will never replace the need for genres and maybe BPM etc., but it could be a great addition to existing meta-data.
In a seperate thread we can discuss the user-interface that can handle all this

Amarok has a moodbar, however it does not "judge" the song. I used it once for testing, but I've got it deactivated. More info is available at http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Moodbar.
YES. It's something exactly like this I'm reffering to (I just forgot to mention it in my initial post)
almost everything is possible, but there are many things that define if it's going to happen or not:
how useful is it?
how easy is it to implement?
how well is it going to work?
and the answers to these questions don't look favorable.
Why not? It needs a userinterface of course, but it should be simple, just like my proposal above. (Maybe it could already works with "facets" for foobar2000 if this could be stored in a tag)
There are programs like Moody, but those only let you choose colors corresponding to moods and write them to tags. This would be an excellent idea, if someone could find a way to reliably implement it.
Moody is a nice concept, and it might work if we have a shared database to submit info to. For manually doing this for my 22000 track collection is just tedious. Actually I have several great ideas for a database like this, but I need to convince a developer about this first

Sent by Charles Robert Darwin, Down, Bromley, Kent to Alfred Russel Wallace, [9 St Mark's Crescent, Regent's Park, London, N.W.] on 23 February [1867].

Dear Wallace
I much regretted that I was unable to call on you, but after Monday I was unable even to leave the house. On Monday evening I called on Bates & put a difficulty before him, which he could not answer, & as on some former similar occasion, his first suggestion was, "you had better ask [[2]] Wallace". My difficulty is, why are caterpillars sometimes so beautifully & artistically coloured? Seeing that many are coloured to escape danger I can hardly attribute their bright colour in other cases to mere physical conditions. Bates says the most gaudy caterpillar he ever saw in Amazonia (of a Sphinx) was conspicuous at the distance of yards [[3]] from its black & red colouring whilst feeding on large green leaves. If anyone objected to male butterflies having been made beautiful by sexual selection, & asked why sh[oul]d. they not have been made beautiful as well as their caterpillars; what would you answer? I could not answer, but sh[oul]d. maintain my ground. Will you think over this, & some time, either by letter or when we meet, [[4]] tell me what you think. Also, I want to know whether your female mimetic butterfly is more beautiful & brighter than the male?
When next in London I must get you to show me your Kingfishers.--
My health is a dreadful evil, I failed in half my engagements during this last visit to London.--
Believe me | yours very sincerely | C. Darwin [signature]

Its hard sometimes for me to accept change, I am a creature of routine, I like things rolling along smoothly. KISS is my moto, keep it super simple…I have office shirts, so I don't have to deal with what to wear, I have a morning routine, workout, coffee, blog, etc.. I like that.
Sometimes that routine gets disturbed and I have to find ways to function like I normally do. Sometimes lifechanging things occur that call for a total revamping of ones routine, sometimes change is just needed.
I don't like change!!!! LOL As I get older, I understand change is needed but I still fight it. Why is that do you think?
Well our bodies are made to adapt and overcome small changes constantly, they adapt with amazing precision to 1000's of things every second of every day. Its the big changes that are hard for us as humans, we have this distinct ability to reason, think and dream, which makes change hard for some of us. Stuff happen in life, stuff we can't control, stuff we can control and that "STUFF" sometimes requires us to change our way of life. New babies, marriage, jobs, etc are all usually wonderful reasons to change, and sometimes that easier also. Cancer, money troubles, loss of life and other stuff we sometimes have no control over and that makes change quite a bit tougher.
Life is full of ups and downs, changing to adapt to these is what makes us survive and thrive as humans, so when life knocks you down, get your butt back up and let life know you aren't beaten, you just need to adjust a few things and try again.
Prepare and WIN!!!

Private Placement Memorandum for Film Projects
Many options exist to raise money for a film project. Issuing a private placement memorandum (PPM) lets your film company sell shares to "passive investors" (those who invest but take no active role in the production) in order to raise the money needed. If other financing sources are difficult to come by, selling shares in the company may be the best means to pull together the needed capital.
Why Use a PPM?
If selling shares in your company, a PPM is the safest way to raise money. The PPM offers the best legal protection possible to reduce your risk of being successfully sued by investors in the case that the company goes under. The PPM discloses all of the risks (including the risks that you cannot find a distributor for the film and that it never achieves commercial success) associated with the project, making it difficult for investors to claim that they were not adequately warned.
Using a PPM also shows that you are working above the board and take your responsibility to your investors seriously. Experienced passive investors, who have put money into film projects before, will be much more likely to work with you because of this.
Click here to access Growthink's PPM template
If you consider a private placement offering for your film, consult with a licensed entertainment securities lawyer to best structure the offering and to understand the federal and state guidelines you must operate within.
Other Sources of Financing
Government support, whether in the form of tax credits, loan support, or subsidies, can be a boon for filmmakers depending on their geographic location. The cost of filming may be further reduced by seeking service discounts or even bartering with vendors (for example, giving product placement in the film in exchange for needed equipment or supplies). Co-producing the film with another company can share the capital raising burden, perhaps reducing the need for external funding. Grants for small films may exist, especially if the goals are artistic rather than commercial success. Exhaust all of these potential options to reduce the cost of your film and the capital you must still raise.

Is the Internet Good for Your Health? - Healthy Living Center - Everyday Health →
2013, January 16, Interviewed by Everyday Health - On that point, Ted Eytan, MD, MPH, the physician director of the Kaiser Permanente Center for Total Health in Washington, DC, agrees that online or mobile resources should not serve as a substitute for a visit with your doctor. But he says a patient's online research can be enormously helpful — and instrumental in empowering patients to take charge of their health. "Here's what I say: A diagnosis is best decided by the patient and physician together. If a patient is curious about what's going on with them and wants to research it, that's a wonderful thing," Eytan says. "Then you can go over the information you find with your physician, and you can decide on a diagnosis together." Eytan says it's his job as a physician to make patients feel comfortable bringing information to him. "Patients are still learning that it's okay to bring up what they read or what they see on TV to us to see what we think," he says. "[The physician's] job is to make this an open conversation."

Now Reading: "Concern that sharing information with patients may cause sustained psychological distress is probably unfounded" | Ted Eytan, MD →
I'm not that smart and my ideas are not that unique. This is why I enjoy writing the posts that are tagged "where we came from" on this blog. The title of this one comes from a 1991 article published in the British Medical Journal about the idea of providing patients access to their complete medical record. To really dig deep, though, I wanted to grab the seminal 1973 article from The New England Journal of Medicine on this topic, and thanks to the Internet, I found it.

Larry, Thanks for publishing my photograph, taken in Washington, DC, earlier in 2015 as a part of LGBTQ Pride this year. I appreciate your attempt to understand the concept of gender identity, but truthfully, it has fallen short, and I'd be worried that your readers will come away with a misunderstanding of how gender identity works. It is not something people decide they feel like being, it is what they are, and with medically supervised treatment, their physical characteristics are aligned with their authentic selves (gender confirmation or affirmation). This typically results in greater physical and mental health, and greater life achievement, as shown by many studies. Affording people protection on the basis of their gender is no different for a transgender woman than it is for a cisgender one, because transitioning to the lived experience of a woman results in all of the hardships that caused these laws to be created in the first place.

Cutting off and subsequently dying her locks platinum blond wasn't the only transformation Miley Cyrus had up her sleeves. On Sept. 7, she debuted her new website/online community, which shows off her creative side more than ever before. Aside from new photos, there's also a whole section called The Backyard Sessions that lets you see Miley singing outside of the studio. With all these changes taking place, who knows what we'll see next from this lady!

At 116th Street and Hoosier Road in Fishers, a car went into the lake. Some bystanders assisted with the rescue of people in the vehicle, according to a media alert from Fishers Fire Department. Eastbound 116th will be closed while crews work to remove the vehicle. / Provided by Fishers Fire Department
When Rhonda Curry saw an SUV break through a fence and careen into a lake, she knew she had to do something.
Curry was driving on 116th Street near Hoosier Road in Fishers just after noon Thursday when she saw the accident. She said she stopped, turned around, got out and ran to the top of a hill overlooking the lake, trying to figure out how to help.
I said, Roll your windows down, the car is sinking fast, said Curry, Indianapolis, a carrier for The Indianapolis Star.
Inside the SUV, Carrie Mattingly, 43, McCordsville, screamed that her 5-year-old daughter also was inside.
Curry said she called 911 and told Mattingly to climb out of a window, grab her child and head toward shore.
If I wouldnt have stopped, she would have died, Curry said. I saw her go in the water.
Curry, who is still recovering from a broken rib, said she couldnt jump in after Mattingly. Instead, she flagged down other drivers.
Chad Basey, 40, McCordsville, stopped. His daughter spotted Curry yelling from the hilltop.
My daughters like, Daddy, youve got to turn around, Basey said.
He did, got out of his car and jumped into the water, trying to reach the SUV, sinking about 50 feet away.
One man, Basey said, swam about halfway to the vehicle before he had to turn back. Basey helped pull him to shore, and together they coaxed Mattingly and her daughter closer to the shoreline.
They climbed out of the car it totally submerged and they started swimming toward us, Basey said. I got the little girl on shore, and went back into the water and helped Mom up. By that time, she was just physically drained.
Mattinglys daughter kept calm, Basey said.
She didnt cry or anything, he said. One of the first things she said was, Mommy, my iPods still in the car. It was so cute.
Basey, a former operation specialist for the U.S. Navy, said he didnt think twice about jumping in and trying to save Mattingly.
My wifes a firefighter, he said. It runs in the family. When I see somebody in distress, Im going to run out and help.
Mattingly and her daughter were taken to Indiana University Health Saxony Hospital, where they were treated for exposure to the cold water.
Mattingly told police that she lost control of her 2010 Honda Pilot SUV after running into some slush in the roadway. She tried to change lanes but spun out of control.
The rescuers including Basey, Westfield resident Jeffrey Oliver and Indianapolis resident Randy Jones were treated at Community Hospital North. No one was injured seriously.
Divers from the Fishers police and fire departments later pulled the SUV out of the water about 10 to 15 feet deep.
Curry said shes just happy she could be there to help the car wasnt visible from the roadway, and police credited her with summoning others.
Its not a big deal, she said. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
