Precision Medicine and Care: The Role of Decision Management Technologies Before and After the Medicine
cheryl wilson 270003VHSH email@example.com | | Tags:  business-rules healthcare business-rule-management decision-management decision-support predictive-analytics
0 Comments | 3,761 Visits
As a follow-on to last week's guest blogger post, Healthier Healthcare Using Operational Decision Management, I wanted to comment on this recent and insightful McKinsey Quarterly interview -- Navigating a changing health care environment: An Interview with Pfizer's Kristin Peck.
McKinsey's interview with Pfizer's Kristin Peck, EVP for worldwide business development and innovation, begins with an inflection point: the role and future of the healthcare industry is changing, catalyzed by economic factors, but also by other societal and technological influences that will most likely result in patients taking more responsibility for their health as healthcare becomes more personalized and decentralized.
When asked about the role of technology in the future of healthcare, Peck discussed the concepts of precision medicine and precision care – "using precision tools to identify the right treatment for the right patient at the right time, in a standardized and consistent way."
Before the medicine. Peck listed some of the precision-medicine tools that could be used before the administration of medicine to make more informed decisions about patient treatments, such as imaging, diagnostics and predictive analytics. Here, Peck is alluding to a medical decision support system that goes way beyond electronic medical records (EMR) systems. It's one that measures its investment on the quality of decisions made and the subsequent impacts on patient outcomes, not on the amount of data captured and shared.
A key decision-making tool that I would add to her examples above is business rule management (BRM). Unlike predictive analytics, which deals in uncertainty and probabilities of events and conditions occurring in the future, BRM deals in certainty, capturing known policies (e.g., medical best practices) and human (physician) expertise and embedding it in systems that can automate decisions or provide support for human decision makers -- in real time, in a standardized and consistent way. Unlike standalone predictive analytics, a business rule management system is able to decide what actions to take based on known policies and expertise. It can also track what decisions were made and why, and what policies were changed and by whom.
This is not to diminish the importance of predictive analytics, but before you even get to the prediction part, it makes sense to embed known medical best practices and expertise into healthcare systems. For example, business rules can be used to recommend best actions to take if someone is given a known drug with known side effects, presenting with certain known symptoms.
Note: Most built-in rule engines that are sold as part of analytics or business process management products won't deliver given the variability and complexity of decision making in a medical setting – even simple decisions that are numerous, frequently occurring, or need to be combined in complex ways beg for more capable business rule management. Plus you'll want a decision automation or support technology that can be easily updated by non-technical staff with built-in governance. You'll want precise, safe decision making that can scale.
After the medicine. Peck also covered the notion of "empowered health" and the use of precision-care tools that come after the medicine – everything from body sensors to behavior modification tools. Empowered health or self-empowered health is an area where technology is enabling the patient to take more responsibility for their health, whether assisting in lifestyle modifications or monitoring of health signs. Decision management technologies, like business rules, events, and analytics, play a large role here, too. As an example, we recently covered the use of rule-based decision management to deliver personalized, automated feedback based on pre-determined health goals and data captured from a body sensor.
Final thought: Peck mentioned in the interview that there will be significant investments made in healthcare IT worldwide over the next five to seven years. I would imagine (hope) that an appropriate portion of that investment will go towards designing medical decision management systems that take full advantage of the available technological capabilities afforded by business rules, events and analytics, even if it means changing the behavior of current systems, processes and humans.

Album Review
George Strait
's 1984 album
Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind
is widely regarded as his greatest album but its 1985 successor,
Something Special
, doesn't pale in comparison, even if it doesn't quite offer something special or different from what
has done before. Far from being a departure, if anything
Something Special
digs even deeper into traditional country, rooted heavily on Western swing and pure honky tonk, from the shuffles to the barroom ballads that pop up regularly. Only the side openers -- the Top Five hit "You're Something Special to Me" and "You Sure Got This Ol' Redneck Feelin' Blue" -- and the number one single "The Chair" have a bit of radio-ready gloss -- gloss that may be slick, but not too pop -- and the rest of the album is lean classic country, typified by the excellent tribute "Lefty's Gone" and the giddy "Dance Time in Texas." It's a no-fuss, straight-ahead record, and while it may be no different than
's other records, it doesn't make
Something Special
any less special.

I don't know if here is the right Stack, but I have this problem:
I bought a new computer kit (Asus P8Z77-v LX, 2x4GB Corsair Vegenance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 and Intel i5 3570K). The problem is, after one day using PC it freezes, and on reboot the MemOK LED is turn on...
If I unplug one of DIMM, it run normally, but the other DIMM seems broken. The awkward part is: it works in another computer (with totally differents config) and is the same model memory.
- DIMM #1: work on my PC, work on another PC
- DIMM #2: don't work on my PC, work on another PC
- DIMM #1 + #2 (DC): don't work on my PC, work on another PC
- 2x Generic DIMM (DC): work on my PC, work on another PC
I tried to press MemOK button but it doesn't solve. I don't use OVERCLOCK (I'm running in JETEC 1333 Ghz, but I tried XMP) and I updated the BIOS to last version. How PC doesn't boot, I can't use MemTest on it. I tried to change slots, problem continues.
The question is:
- Memory is broken? Why it work in another PC?
- I can do some more tests?

It all began in late November-January for me. I had made a PC account in February that year (so I could download files off the the Game Development area), but had not really touched the Roleplay Corner. And well, there was a program at my school making class interact with another class for a term while learning about "Life Skills" (i.e. a waste of time for a whole term). And so, I came to know a pre-existing friend of mine much better (the friendship was built on mutual interests such as Pokemon in general, despite my love for it being more diehard). Thus I was introduced to role-playing.
Now back to how I came to the Roleplay Corner. So in December, I visited the Roleplay Corner for this first time after browsing through the various forums. It took me MONTHS to get to know the ropes of the Roleplay Corner (it was my first time role-playing on a forum), only signing up for one RP in the Corner until a certain time where I knew what everything was, and for the first time, I felt apart of the Corner.
That's my story, I guess.
How does CSS work in posts? I'm more accustomed to Notepad format so could someone give me a heads up to how it works on PC?

Jacobs joins hoops elite
Former Abington Heights basketball star Amber Jacobs got an early birthday gift, courtesy of the New England Basketball Hall of Fame.
The 31-year-old women's basketball coach and associate athletic director at Baptist Bible College was one of the inductees to this year's Hall of Fame class, for which ceremonies were held June 21, eight days prior to her birthday.
Jacobs, a standout at Boston College, helped build the Eagles into a top-25 program in her time there.
We know Jacobs as the Lackawanna League's all-time leading girls points producer, but it's tough not to think of her performance as a junior in the 2003 NCAA tournament when she knocked off Old Dominion in the first round with an overtime jumper with three seconds left, then beat Vanderbilt with a high-arcing layup with two seconds left in overtime, both one-point wins. She might tell you that winning a Big East title in her senior season was a bigger accomplishment.
She also had a five-year career in the WNBA, four with the Minnesota Lynx, and her final injury-plagued season with the Washington Mystics and Los Angeles Sparks.
Jacobs was one of nine Division I women's players to be inducted, and shared the spotlight with the likes of coaches John Calipari (Kentucky) and Bruiser Flint (Drexel), both of whom were inducted; Harvard coach Tommy Amaker, who was honored as the New England Coach of the Year; and 16-year NBA veteran Chris Dudley.
Saints be praised
Scranton High School grad Christine Nezelkewicz is going to find herself with a pretty good vantage point for New Orleans Saints game this fall - if only she wasn't going to have her back to the field much of the time.
The 29-year-old, who now calls Hattiesburg, Miss., home, was one of 36 women selected to be part of the Saintsations, the NFL team's cheerleading squad. So she'll be entertaining the folks in the stands more than watching the game.
Still, a pretty good gig for the former Scranton hoops cheerleader. Now the bad news. It's just for one year. The Saints swap out their squad every season.

In the early 1970s, then-Mayor Lloyd Stromgren began calling for a plan for the 640-acre area that was once part of a U.S. Army land claim platted in 1850. Stromgren told architect Mat Thompson, chairman of the Chamber's Civic Betterment Committee, that development pressure on this property had never been more intense. He wanted Thompson to help in finding an appropriate way to preserve that large amount of open space near the heart of Vancouver.
Thompson died Sept. 10.
Being a member of American Institute of Architects, Thompson knew of a service that group provided, a Rural/Urban Design Team. It involved experts in several fields coming to our city for an intensive weekend of information gathering and recommendations.
The RUDAT members came from New York, Los Angeles and several other locales to provide their services. It was invaluable in guiding us locals in formulating a preferred alternative. The citizen group Thompson convened did the preparatory work and wrestled with naming the area.
The name chosen was Vancouver Central Park.
The city council accepted the 1979 master plan recommendation to maintain the open space. The slogan that Thompson and Stromgren used to mobilize local citizens was "A Place for People." It was and remains just that.
Mat Thompson was a community treasure.

Berry Tramel: Kendrick Perkins brings more to Thunder than tough image
Kendrick Perkins had a wish.
Thunder wins the West. Celtics win the East. Oklahoma City-Boston for all of David Stern's marbles.
"I was wishing we could both end up in the (NBA) Finals and meet up, or something crazy like that," Perkins said.
The Celtics, the team of his past. The Thunder, the team of his present and future.
A wish that will go unmet. On the night Perkins' Thunder took control of their Western Conference semifinal against Memphis, the Celtics went down. Eliminated by the Miami Bound Machine in five games.
In New England, they're writing Celtic obituaries. The end of an era. No more championship runs for the core of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen.
A core that counted Perkins as its soul until the stunning February trade that brought a tear to Perk's eye and anguish to Celtic fans, who appreciated the Terrible Scowl for his defense and toughness. The Celtics won one NBA title with Big Perk manning the post, and Boston faithful from Roxbury bartenders to Doc Rivers will swear the Celts would have won another had Perkins not been injured in Game 6 of the 2010 Finals against the Lakers.
Perkins' tears dried quickly. He talks passionately about being a Thunder. But he's still a little wistful that his old pals fell.
Perk is only 26 but spent eight years in Boston, four with the Big Three era.
"I'd be lying if I was telling you I was disconnected," Perkins said. "We knew everything about each other. I hated to see them go down like this."
Scotty Brooks doesn't begrudge such empathy, even in the dog-eat-dog NBA playoffs. It's OK with the Thunder coach if Perkins, the baddest-looking man in the league, has a soft spot for the Celtics.
"If he did not have it, you would question his character," Brooks said. "He has so many great experiences and memories and tough memories with that group of guys. That's natural. You would hope that's how he felt.
"But we like him here."
Never fear, OKC. Perkins likes it here.
"Oklahoma City, they embraced me with open arms," Perkins said. "They embraced me while I was injured. And I'm still not 100 percent. They've still got a lot of faith in me.
"I didn't know what to expect. But it's been fun. It's been wonderful."
It's funny to hear a man like Perkins, who looks so mean and talks so menacing, to use words like wonderful. But he backed up his words when agreeing to a four-year contract extension just a few days after arriving.
The ballplayer weaned on Celtic fundamentals and Celtic tradition and Celtic pride, liked what he found on the Oklahoma plains.
"It's been a blessing since I've been here, to be on the court with Kevin (Durant) and Russell (Westbrook)," Perkins said.
"Those guys put in a lot of work. I didn't know they put in such work. They handle adversity great. Anything you throw at 'em, they handle it great."
Perkins exasperates a good many Thunder fan. Oklahoma City is not quite the sophisticated basketball culture that Perk left in Boston. Little harder to impress people here with the little things. Screens. Post defense. Attitude.
So when Perkins flubs a layup or misses two foul shots, his value is immediately questioned.
But the Thunder, like Boston players and fans alike, know what they have. The Boomers listen to Gran Torino, the big guy who showed up and immediately changed the team's attitude, just with his presence. Immediately turned the Thunder back into a defensive-minded team, after almost four months of trying to outscore foes.
"Give him the credit," Brooks said, "and give our guys the credit, because they've opened up with him and allowed him to speak up and they listen. Guys understand that we have to have everybody chipping in some way to help us win."
When the Thunder laid an egg in Game 1 of this Memphis series, Perkins called a players-only dinner to talk about what went wrong. Game 2, the Thunder was 100 times tougher, and Zach Randolph rues that dinner.
Wednesday night, after the Thunder's 99-72 rout of Memphis, Perkins expressed displeasure with his team down the stretch. He didn't go into details. Maybe it was Nate Robinson's dribbling antics. Maybe it was several 3-point shots in the final minutes. Maybe it was the exuberant cheering from the bench in a 20-point blowout.
Whatever, Perk didn't like it and said so.
"We have to end the game with better class than that," Perkins said. "That's too disrespectful in my eyes. That's not what the Thunder are about. I think we were too flashy."
I didn't have a problem with any of it except Robinson's Globetrotter act. But I'm also going to go along with whatever Perk says.
Sign me up for a Thunder-Boston Finals in the near future. And sign me up for liking it that Kendrick Perkins likes it in Oklahoma City.

I consider myself a mid-level experienced drinker. I was curious about a product with more wormwood and this definitely did it. It has a strong aroma and a great mixture of flavors when you start to drink, but then that wormwood kicks in! It has a dry and very bitter aftertaste that lingers for a while. While this initial taste is fine, the finish is not quite to my liking. To be fair, I did read the product description so I knew what I was getting. So this review should be taken with a grain of salt (or sugar cube!) because it tells you something of my palate. For those seeking a bolder experience, they might like this.
I thought more anise flavor in this item.....but not. A lot of alchool taste.....nothing much to taste....Will not buy anymore....

"Missions Hike and Bike Trail" San Antonio Sports & Outdoors Tip by msbrandysue
San Antonio Sports & Outdoors: 17 reviews and 15 photos
The missions are quite the distance between each other (at least for me) but there is a hiking and biking trail that connects them all. I suggest the entire trail only for experienced distance bikers but it could be fun for a few closer together.
From Mission Concepción to Mission Espada, eight (8) miles of dedicated paved pathways are reserved for the hiker and biker. An easy walk or ride, it is suitable for even young members of the family. [The land is very flat in Texas :)] The trail is not a loop, so the round-trip path is actually 16 miles. However, walkers and bikers can start at any of the four missions and travel to the next mission, making the round trip only six (6) miles. Water is available at each mission. Food is available near Missions Concepción and San José, but not near Missions San Juan and Espada, so plan accordingly (taken from website).
Just be careful of the HEAT in the summer!!
In case of emergencies there are call boxes along the trail.
*Check the website for construction and detour information that may be taking place periodically thoughtout the year.
Equipment: You have to provide your own equipment, and there is no renting at any of the ranger stations on the mission trail.

The Hand Of Fate Tattoo Parlor, Ithaca, NY
The Hand of Fate Tattoo Parlor came into existence October 13, 2007, located in the newly revitalized West End neighborhood of Ithaca, a picturesque college town in upstate New York. We are located minutes away from Cornell campus and Ithaca College. Originally conceived as The State Street Tattoo Parlor by award winning New York City tattoo artist Eddie 'Lefty' Molina, the tattoo shop was renamed after Eddie had a gruesome run in with a wood router during construction. He cut off the end of his left hand pinky, amended the business paperwork at Ithaca City Hall first thing Monday morning, and The Hand of Fate Tattoo Parlor was born.
Our tattoo shop in beautiful Ithaca, NY is a first-class tattooing establishment with experienced artists that specialize in completely custom work for you, the client. Our highly skilled team of tattoo artists will work with you (and your budget!) to design your one of a kind tattoo, be it your first or the tenth in a growing collection! We do take walk-ins without an appointment for smaller tattoos as time allows. However, if you're thinking about larger scale work or a complex piece, we suggest coming in ahead of time for a consultation. Due to his high demand, Eddie Molina tattoos BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Eddie also has a TWO HOUR MINIMUM for NEW tattoo projects. If you would like work done by Eddie 'Lefty' Molina, please call us for his availability for NEW PROJECTS and to get on his waiting list! THANK YOU for your understanding!
We exceed all New York State and New York City Health Department and safety standards, adhering to strict procedures and guidelines to maintain a sterile environment. Owner and head artist Eddie Molina is a profesionally licensed tattooist through the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs. In addition, lab certified tests are mailed out once a month to maintain important sterilization equipment. Your health and safety, as well as our artists' well being, is top priority.

Mandated Adjudication: Act of State
and Sovereign Immunity
JUDGES, when they refuse to take jurisdiction over foreign-affairs cases, purport to be deferring to the political branches' superior wisdom in such matters and to the need for secrecy, speed, unison, and flexibility in defense of the national interest. In most of the cases we have examined, this judicial reticence sails under the flag of the political-question doctrine. When they apply that doctrine, the courts purport to be following the intent of the Constitution. In particular, the more deferential judges perceive their reticence as strengthening the capacity of the political branches to carry out assigned responsibilities in dealing with foreign states and governments.
This makes it significant that Congress and the president in recent years have taken the initiative in actually requiring courts to decide two categories of disputes in which judges have habitually acted with deliberate reticence. Applying two abdicationist legal theories—the act of state doctrine and the doctrine of sovereign immunity—judges had refused to decide large categories of foreign-affairs claims precisely because they believed the politicians and diplomats better positioned to resolve disputes testing the legitimacy of foreign governments' laws and activities. While the courts claimed to be deferring to foreign laws and governments, in practice they were deferring to the U.S. political branches, which were thought better suited to dealing with the effects of laws and actions of foreign states.
Notably, Congress and the president, regarding both juridical doctrines, have enacted laws in recent years mandating that courts decide rather than abdicate. This refusal by the political branches to tolerate judicial deference is highly suggestive. Evidently, the president and Congress do not take for granted that judicial reticence in foreign-affairs and national-security matters invariably advances the national interest. More important, the recent history of legislation to compel the courts to decide some foreign-affairs cases and the courts' agreement to do so, albeit sometimes given grudgingly, strongly suggest

RGG: Account of the 1888 Blizzard is a fun, exciting read. The final chapter with the lasting changes due to the effects of the blizzard makes this more than just a good adventure story. Reading Level: 10-14; FP: U-W.
This is a juvenile nonfiction book about the blizzard of 1888 that hit the East coast of the USA. Two storms met up and hit New York. The National Weather Service said that the storm coming from Minnesota was weakening and the one from the south would likely go out to see and then they went home for the weekend. What they learned from this storm changed America's transportation system, weather system and snow removal among other things. It was not the worst storm but it had a great effect. This was written for probably middle school aged children. I listened to the audio because it was available through overdrive. It was easy to follow, read by Taylor Mali who did a good job.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0590673106, Paperback)
With his powerful and intriguing narrative style, Newbery Honor Book author Jim Murphy tells the harrowing story of the Blizzard of 1888. Available for the first time in paperback.
Snow began falling over New York City on March 12, 1888. All around town, people struggled along slippery streets and sidewalks -- some seeking the warmth of their homes, some to get to work or to care for the less fortunate, and some to experience what they assumed would be the last little snowfall of one of the warmest winters on record. What no one realized was that in a very few hours, the wind and snow would bury the city in nearly 21 inches of snow and bring it to a ferocious standstill.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:25:13 -0400)
Presents a history, based on personal accounts and newspaper articles, of the massive snow storm that hit the Northeast in 1888, focusing on the events in New York City.

Jacqueline Enith
Update on Jacqueline EnithJacqueline is buying materials to make bags in her dressmaking shop, and also, she wants to buy a new sewing machine in order to augment her productive process and offer her clientele a better quality of products.
At present, Jacqueline is applying for a Kiva loan so that she can purchase fine thread to make the many bags demanded in other regions of the country. Her Kiva loan will produce success, as evidenced by the customer requests that are, little by little, materializing. Jacqueline is encouraged and she is disposed to turn these into permanent orders.
Jacqueline wishes to say 'many thanks' to her financial supporters and she asks for their ongoing assistance so that she can continue working with these resources.

Additional Information
About Fundación Mario Santo DomingoFundación Mario Santo Domingo (FMSD) is a non-profit organization in northern Colombia dedicated to developing programs for the country's poorest communities. In addition to numerous social services, FMSD runs a microfinance program to strengthen micro-businesses in the areas where it works. The organization also offers several non-financial components as part of this program, including training to help entrepreneurs start their own businesses.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Customer Reviews
November 2015
This trip was so amazing I don't even know where to begin. This was the most beautiful place I've EVER been. I've done a lot of awesome excursions but this one by far surpasses all of them. If you're not interested in getting up close and personal with iguanas, stingrays and sharks, this trip isn't for you. We took about 1 1/2 hr boat ride to a private Island and fed iguanas. There were probably literally 100 iguanas on the beach when we pulled up. The water is beyond beautiful. After about 30 min there, we went to a different spot called Ship Channel Cay, which was even more beautiful. We spent the later morning/afternoon hand feeding stingrays and playing with them, then the staff wrangled sharks right in front of you!! Snorkeling came next and it was so amazing! After snorkeling, we were fed a scrumptious lunch. Mind you, there's an open bar the WHOLE time. Then, after lunch, they do a demonstration on how to make a Bahamian Conch Salad. That was delicious too. Jason was extraordinary and actually took a private video for me on my phone of sharks feeding in a school of fish. He also took my camera on our snorkeling outing and got some amazing pictures.I was hesitant because of the price but I will DEFINITELY do this again if I'm in Nassau. It was worth EVERY penny!
August 2014
This tour was amazing!
July 2014
This is the best excursion on Nassau! Water is amazing, feeding iguanas is super cool and the stingrays and sharks are amazing. We plan to do the day trip again if we ever go back to Nassau.
December 2013
It was a very fun and exciting trip! Staff was professional, friendly and lots of fun! Food was excellent and best of all, all the alcohol drinks you wanted!! Recommend they get beach or lounge chairs for the beach area. Also, bring something warm to wear on the way out and back. Wind from power boat ride can get chilly.
June 2011
Had to wait over an hour at the Hilton Hotel to get picked up for the tour.
Everything else!! Feeding the stingrays from the shore, watching them feed the sharks, a drift snorkel and a delicious grouper lunch, we couldn't ask for a better day!
When they say they are going to start feeding the sharks grab your camera and wrap the string around your wrist! One lady dropped hers when she jumped back!
March 2011
best ever sooo fun
February 2013
This was a great day trip! Close up stingrays and sharks! Great first time snorkeling experience - sharks swam right past us! The guides and leaders know their stuff and have a great sense of humor. The meal was quite the spread and everything tasted fantastic. Highly recommend.

The provost of a Christian academic institution has written a book meant to help older college students get an introduction to the upper education experience.
Rick Ostrander, provost and chief academic officer at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Mich., has recently published Reconsidering College: Christian Higher Education for Working Adults.
"More and more adults are seeking to develop themselves and improve their professional opportunities by completing a college degree. Whether business professionals, salespersons, nurses, parents, or persons engaged in any other profession, many working adults recognize the value of furthering their education," reads a press release in part. more >>
More than 10 million men, or one out of every six in the 25 to 54 age bracket, are unemployed in the United States, and only about one third of them say they are actively seeking jobs. Experts believe this dire condition could also be causing declining marriage rates.
"Some of them are looking for jobs. Two-thirds say they aren't. Some are supported by families or friends; men without jobs are far less likely to be married than men with jobs. About 2 million of these prime-age men are on Social Security Disability Insurance," said David Wessel, director of the Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy at the Brookings Institution in a report Thursday.
Noting the acute and chronic nature of the unemployment situation among men, Wessel said it was a result of the slow recovery of the U.S. economy from the Great Recession as well as a shift away from the types of work popular among men before the recession. Even as the economy improves, however, he pointed out that employment troubles among men is likely to persist. more >>
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) argued for libertarianism, saying it is compatible with Christianity and will help Republicans win elections and attract minorities, at the gala for The American Principles Project, a socially conservative group founded by Robert P. George.
"There are some issues that can move the party forward, and some of those issues I would call libertarian issues," Paul declared. He admitted that "to some that's a bad word, but to others I think it's a word that may expand the party."
Paul argued that these issues do not have to come at the expense of social issues, such as life and marriage. "Libertarian and liberty doesn't mean libertine," he argued. The Senator referred to Don Devine's book America's Way Back, explaining that liberty and tradition go hand in hand. more >>

There will be about two million fewer American workers by 2017 because of the Affordable Care Act, or "Obamacare," a Congressional Budget Office report released Tuesday finds.
Overall, employment is expected to increase, though not as much as it would if the ACA had never become law. The job losses will increase to 2.5 million by 2021.
The estimate is for full-time employment, the report notes. Some of the losses will lead to unemployment while some of the losses will translate to part-time employment. more >>

At what resolution are you playing your games at?
Many of my old games do not have a wide screen resolution...so the outcome is this really stretched and warped screen.
I have C&C Generals, do most of the new games have a resolution for wide screen?
Keep me updated
I can get C&C generals only to 1024X768. I have a wsxga screen so i just have my video card scale the image while keeping the aspect ratio. This ends up having vertical black bars on the sides- it's bearable and it still looks fine/unstretched. Unreal Tournament 2004 supports widescreen displays and looks very nice.
I play single player far cry with a resolution of 1280 x 800 and all video settings are the highest possible and it works pretty muhc perfect. It does feel a little sluggish but that might actualy be my mouse sensitivity and/or me getting use to how the game plays.
i also palyed rainbow six 3, halo, cs and splinter cell 2, all on their highest video settings and they all work perfectly fine.

For one thing the sweet spot for gaming is 1 gig of ram also make sure you are not having heat issues also.Blast the rear vents with caned air also press Fn+z+R which will bring up the thermal control page and make sure you dont have any fan failures.Also make sure you use the a driver cleaner tool before instaling video drivers you can download one at www.driverheaven.net also make sure you are runing the latest flash bios.I have seen quite a few XPS/9100 owners think they were having driver issues and it being heat issues. Good Luck

Go to the thermal control page and look through it.Look under fan failures if it does not show any you are ok. Make sure you are runing the latest flash bios i read that it had a fix for the fan speeds.
No that is not a good thing it meanes you are having heat issues due to your fans not operating right contact cell and make them aware of the fan failures.

including <?php if ( function_exists( 'breadcrumb_trail' ) ) breadcrumb_trail(); ?> to my header.php in theme options does not work. Not usefull for me.
добавил этот код и так и сяк - на появились крошки
All docs are behind a paywall. F*** this.
Installed this and then found that I am required to pay an annual fee to learn how to use it. Really?
If a plugin is made available like this - make it clear that any documentation is to be paid for. I have no problem with that - I do have a problem with something that encourages you to install then requires payment.
Just be upfront and make it clear that to get the best from this 'free' plugin, payment is required for the documentation.
This looks great! The developer is good at describing how full featured and robust it is.
Maybe it is.
But I cannot figure it out. Instead of page like NavXT which has a clear page of customizations, I am supposed to figure out how to do it through a read me file with no examples.
One reason i love WordPress is because I can get a lot of stuff done without having to figure out php and coding syntax.
Like I said, it may be great. But the default output is ugly and I can't change it.

Standards-based technologies are rapidly being adopted by the telecommunications industry, and for good reason. Using standards-based solutions allows telecom equipment manufacturers (TEMs) and network equipment providers (NEPs) to use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software systems across multiple network elements – speeding time-to-market, saving money, and freeing up key resources to focus on competitive differentiation.
Equally important, the adoption of standards-based elements enables new and emerging hardware to plug into an existing network infrastructure without extensive retooling and associated costs. It also encourages use of best-of-breed technologies without imposing vendor lock-in.
For much of the new hardware being deployed in next generation networking (NGN) infrastructures, the de facto standard is the Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA). This is a perfect example of a standard that not only promises all the benefits of a COTS solution, but has also reached a point of maturity for wide use in real-world implementations.
Getting standards-based technologies to deliver on their intended promise requires heavy lifting and cooperation. For many industries, such as mobile phones, the proliferation of special interest groups (SIGs) has led to overlap and competing standards, resulting in a splintered, confused industry and delays in standards adoption.
In the communications industry, however, there is significant cooperation between different SIGs. In telecommunications, nearly a dozen SIGs have worked to define the technology components that fit into an overall solution. Some of the most notable SIGs include the Communications Platform-Trade Association (CP-TA), PICMG, the SCOPE Alliance, the Service Availability Forum (SAF), and The Linux Foundation.
Each communication SIG has a specific function and focus: The Linux Foundation, created by a merger between the Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) and the Free Standards Group, focuses on specifications for the Linux OS; PICMG focuses on standards for ATCA hardware; the SAF focuses on middleware above the OS; and the CP-TA focuses on interoperability between different vendor implementations of hardware and software. The SCOPE Alliance doesn't define any particular standard, but creates desired technology profiles based on Linux Foundation, PICMG, and SAF specifications.
Unlike in many other industries, communications SIGs work closely together. The CGL specification developed by The Linux Foundation includes some standards defined by the SAF and specifies support for ATCA. A loose consortium, the Mountain View Alliance, provides a liaison, marketing, and awareness function for all communications SIGs.
A Brief History of Carrier Grade Linux
Carrier Grade Linux (CGL) is the operating system of choice for ATCA-based network equipment and is considered the architectural "hub" that defines many telecom solutions. CGL is designed to support all the hardware capabilities (such as booting from flash or support for ATCA hot-plug, along with high-availability middleware interfaces) to create the foundation for a complete carrier-grade solution and ensure high performance.
CGL was started by OSDL in January 2002. Equipment providers such as Nokia, Ericsson, and Alcatel, were initial members and contributors. The first two releases of the CGL spec resulted in approximately 200 requirements across five different categories: Hardware, Performance, Standards, Availability, and Serviceability. At least seven different Linux distributions claimed compliance.
In 2005, the third CGL specification, version 3.2, was created. It added two more requirements categories, Clustering and Security, growing the number of overall requirements to more than 280. However, by the time the 3.2 spec was released, the CGL Working Group realized there was no way to consistently measure how each distribution supported the CGL specification. One distribution might support the majority of requirements, while another supported only a handful.
Ultimately, while significant in scope, CGL 3.2 didn't hit the mark in establishing a complete requirements list that met the needs of TEMs and NEPs. Many TEMs discontinued active participation in the CGL Working Group, and some in the industry wondered if the CGL specification had run its course.
Around the same time, many top-tier TEMs formed their own association, the SCOPE Alliance, to focus on hardware and software profiles they believed were most important in implementing COTS building blocks for carrier-grade-base platforms. The SCOPE Alliance quickly became an important force in the ecosystem, taking an active interest in CGL and making a conscious effort to focus on the operating system first.
This action by the SCOPE Alliance changed everything for CGL. It clearly indicated that the CGL specification was important and relevant to equipment providers – the primary consumers of CGL. It also initiated a tight working relationship between the CGL Working Group and equipment providers, a relationship that had been missing. Suddenly, the CGL specification was on a path to renewed relevance.
CGL 4.0: Tighter Alignment, Tighter Compliance
In late 2006, the CGL Working Group and members of the SCOPE Alliance joined forces to develop a new version of the CGL specification, 4.0. One of the major goals of CGL 4.0 was to align with the SCOPE Alliance Linux Profile. This profile prioritized CGL 3.2 requirements into three categories: mandatory, desired, and roadmap. This was considered a huge contribution toward moving the CGL spec forward. The users of CGL – TEMs and NEPs – provided critical input on what was absolutely required in a Linux distribution to develop ATCA-based applications.
The CGL Working Group also worked to address criticism that the specification was inconsistently implemented across distributions. In earlier spec releases, any Linux distribution that met even a few CGL requirements could claim compliance – and because The Linux Foundation (formerly OSDL) did not endorse or validate the veracity of the registration disclosure data, there was no guarantee of complete feature support. In an effort to solve this problem, the CGL Working Group created a more formal process for registering Linux software as CGL-compliant. Linux distribution providers could follow this process to ensure they delivered consistent functionality.
In February 2007, The Linux Foundation released the CGL 4.0 specification. This version does not represent a host of new technical requirements, but it highlights the unprecedented level of cooperation that led to CGL 4.0, especially between The Linux Foundation and the SCOPE Alliance. A key focus of the revised specification is to meet the needs of its primary users: equipment providers.
With CGL 4.0, when an equipment provider specifies the need for a CGL distribution, there is a consistent standard for what that means and for verifying the claim. CGL 4.0 specifies that a software distribution must meet all 135 mandatory requirements before claiming CGL compliance, guaranteeing a higher level of functionality in CGL-compliant distributions.
This major step will help accelerate growth and adoption of CGL, and further integration with ATCA-based COTS hardware, ultimately resulting in accelerated time-to-market for NEPs, TEMs, and service providers.
What's New in CGL 4.0
In CGL 4.0, all the specifications defined in version 3.2 have been regrouped and reprioritize d to reflect the SCOPE Alliance profile. A few other requirements have also been added (visit www.linuxfoundation.org for a complete list of CGL requirements).
Tremendous effort was required to update the specification from 3.2 to 4.0. The CGL Working Group reviewed the entire spec item by item, adding new requirements, removing old requirements, acting on change requests, correcting errata, and clarifying definitions. In some cases, an existing requirement was broken into multiple better-defined requirements. This resulted in a much clearer set of requirements that more accurately reflects the current state of Linux functionality available for carrier-grade-class systems.
CGL 4.0 comprises more than 250 individual requirements covering seven categories, or "books": Performance, Hardware, Standards, Serviceability, Availability, Security, and Clustering. Each core member of the CGL Working Group (Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, MontaVista, Motorola, NTT, and Wind River) was responsible for updating each book.
Feedback from the SCOPE Alliance was taken into account by the CGL Working Group during their edits. "SCOPE and The Linux Foundation are both committed to accelerating the deployment of carrier-grade-base platforms based on open industry specifications," says Leslie Guth, SCOPE Alliance Marketing Co-Chair and Board Member. "With the cooperation of OSDL prior to the merger and The Linux Foundation since, we've worked to align the CGL specification with our released Carrier Grade Profile, and we look forward to the benefits – such as faster time-to-market – that interoperable commercial off-the-shelf building blocks bring."
The new CGL 4.0 specification also includes useful information and resources for developers. The specific tools and APIs needed for CGL distributions are specified, and proofs of concepts (PoCs) are provided, along with reference code. The PoCs play a critical role, because they refer to existing open-source projects that can be used to implement the CGL requirement. All requirements in the specification must have an associated PoC.
In some cases, there may be multiple PoCs or other open-source projects available to meet a requirement. This has a dual impact: First, all distributions registering for CGL 4.0 will have a consistent set of features, with at least one active open-source project supporting it. Second, because there are often many ways to implement a feature, there is room for different distributions to compete and differentiate. This improves the overall quality and choice available to providers implementing CGL.
Carrier Grade Linux: Now a Linux Standard Base Workgroup
With publication of CGL 4.0 complete, The Linux Foundation is in the process of rechartering the CGL Working Group to fit the foundation's organizational structure. The foundation plans to integrate the CGL specification into the Linux Standard Base (LSB). The LSB delivers interoperability between applications and the Linux OS. Currently, all major distributions comply with the LSB, and many leading application vendors – such as MySQL, RealNetworks, and SAP – are certifying. The LSB provides a cost-effective way for vendors to target multiple Linux distributions while building only one software package.
For end users, the LSB and its mark of interoperability preserves choice by allowing them to select the applications and distributions they want, while avoiding technology and vendor lock-in. LSB certification of distributions results in more applications being ported to Linux, and ensures that distribution vendors are compatible with those applications. The LSB ensures that Linux does not fragment.
By adding the CGL specification as a LSB certification or sub-profile, The Linux Foundation will raise the bar even further for the CGL spec, improving its already high level of credibility and value for equipment providers.
The Impact of CGL 4.0
The CGL 4.0 specification has immediate, ongoing benefits for everyone who develops, deploys, and uses Linux-based software for communications-based applications.
• For TEMs and NEPs, a unified, stable specification means faster time-to-market, investment protection, a longer life cycle for network equipment, improved interoperability, a real multi-vendor ecosystem, and streamlined compliance with environmental standards.
• For Hardware and Software COTS Vendors, reduced fragmentation of the ecosystem will motivate application vendors to produce off-the-shelf building-block components consistent with the needs of TEMs and NEPs.
• For Service Providers, CGL 4.0 means the ability to accelerate service deployment with confidence, knowing the platform is stable and delivers a high level of functionality, performance, and reliability.
• For Developers, specifying the right tools and practices for carrier-grade development, along with PoCs and reference code, simplifies and expedites the development process.
• For End Customers and End Users, the net result is equipment and services that deliver exceptional performance and availability, increased freedom of choice and quality of services, and a seamless user experience.
Glenn Seiler of Wind River was the Steering Committee Chairperson for the CGL Working Group of the OSDL and remains an active member of the new Carrier Grade Working Group of The Linux Foundation.
The Linux Foundation is a nonprofit consortium dedicated to fostering the growth of Linux. Founded in 2007 by the merger of the OSDL and the Free Standards Group, the foundation sponsors the work of Linux creator Linus Torvalds and is supported by leading Linux and open-source companies and developers around the world.
The SCOPE Alliance is an association of NEPs aimed at accelerating the deployment of carrier-grade-base platforms for service provider applications. SCOPE was founded by Alcatel, Ericsson, Lucent, Motorola, NEC, Nokia, and Siemens.

The best informed person I ever knew was a friend of my grandfather's back in the Bronx, where I grew up. Every morning of every day of his life, this elderly man -- his name, as I recall, was Boris -- would dress impeccably in a suit and waistcoat and shuffle to the public library, where more than a dozen of the day's local and out-of-town newspapers were threaded through bamboo poles and hung from racks. One by one, Boris would read them all, front to back; at dusk, he would walk home alone. This daily pilgrimage was conducted with ecclesiastic solemnity, a quiet, dignified homage to the majesty of knowledge. Even as a little boy, in that intuitive if primitive way that children comprehend important things, I understood the fundamental truth that Boris was, in some clear but compelling way, a douche bag.
