Graham Institute is a collaborative partnership of schools, colleges and units across the U-M. The Graham Institute fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration to create and disseminate knowledge and to offer solutions related to complex sustainability issues. Specifically, we:
- Create and support interdisciplinary educational programs that explore the complexities of environmental sustainability and emphasize the inter-relationships between ecological systems.
- Bring together diverse collections of researchers and stakeholders to develop science-based assessments that are intended to inform and assist policymakers in the decision making process.
- Develop outreach programs that educate external communities and constituents on how to economically and effectively achieve sustainability.
- Leverage and promote existing U-M research, education, outreach, and operational efforts related to sustainability.
The Institute sponsors a University-wide Certificate Program. After successful completion of the program, students will receive a "Sustainability Scholars" certificate from the Graham Institute to acknowledge their achievement. Upon graduation, they will also receive a special notation on their U-M transcripts designating this scholastic accomplishment. (NOTE: The latter is limited to students from home academic units that have authorized the Registrar's Office to make the notation.) Students who are pursuing an academic minor in Sustainability are excluded from receiving a Certificate in Sustainability on their transcripts.
By participating in the Undergraduate Sustainability Scholars Program (YSSP), students explore natural, social, economic, political, and technological aspects of complex sustainability issues, thus challenging and encouraging themselves to see issues from multiple perspectives. Students also apply their knowledge to real-life sustainability challenges, harnessing their critical thinking and problem solving skills. U-M students apply and are admitted to the Undergraduate Sustainability Scholars Program during the second term of their sophomore year.

"So that's what it is!" he suddenly exclaimed aloud. "What joy!" (12.15)
Ivan finds real happiness in his last moments. Ivan's fear is gone. His pain isn't but he doesn't care about it. He's surrounded by light, and he seems to be feeling intense joy. Why is he happy? Where does the joy come from?

Disease Proof
Your Friends Make You Fat!
Believe me. I've had some rotten friends. You know that guy, you've known him since high school and all he's ever done for you is not pay back loans and ground potato chips into your couch. But in my twenty-six years of life I've never had a friend who made me fat. Amanda Gardner of HealthDay News reports, your family and friends may spread obesity:
This may be literally true, according to Harvard researchers who suggested in the July 26 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine that obesity, or the trend to thinness, is socially contagious, "spreading" through social ties.I don't know about obesity, but my family members are experts at spreading aggravation. For more on this research, listen to this chat with New York Times reporter Gina Kolata. Or, check out this video via the New York Times:
"This reinforces the idea that because people are interconnected, their health is interconnected," said study author Dr. Nicholas A. Christakis, a professor at Harvard University. "It takes seriously the embedded-ness of people within social networks and gives new meaning to the concept of public health."
While this may cause people to look differently at their friends and acquaintances (both overweight and thin), the real value of the research is in pointing to new ways to combat the growing epidemic of overweight and obesity, experts said.
"Trying to address the problem on an individual level has been so hard, and it may be because we're not addressing the network, which could be family, neighborhood, community, school," said Dr. Julio Licinio, chairman of the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. "This is a fascinating way to look at the problem, and it may be a very good reason why treatments have been so difficult, because we're only addressing one member of the network."

8/6/12 Open Thread - 2001 Dodge Caravan - 250k is a lot of miles!
I don't know that it qualifies as a historic day in automotive history, but certainly historic in my automotive history. Considering the rough life this van had before I got it, it truly is amazing that it has made it this far!
What is your mileage story? 400k in your old Merc diesel? 65k with the top down in your convertable? You squeezed 125K out of a Chevy Vega? (we won't believe you...)

Choosing a Home Care Provider
Choosing the right home care provider takes some time and research.
The first step is to discuss your loved ones home care needs with his/her physician, hospital discharge planner or case manager. Also, ask for a list of local home care agencies. If a list is not available, you can access the Find a Provider area of our website and enter your county service area.
The following should also be considered when choosing a home care agency:
- Does the agency provide the services your loved one needs?
- Does the agency provide continuity of care? Will the same professional Caregiver or team be involved for the duration of the care plan?
- Are the care recipients and family Caregivers included when the agency develops or changes the care plan?
- When is the agency accessible? Is someone available to assist you and your loved one to answer questions after hours or in an emergency?
- Does the provider have a good reputation and positive track record? Ask for a list of references from local physicians, health care professionals, discharge planners, and former clients.
- How long has the agency been in business, serving your community?
- Is the agency licensed (not required in Ohio) and accredited by a healthcare accreditation organization, such as the Joint Commission, Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) or Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP)?
- Does the agency accept Medicare, Medicaid, or other public third party payors? Because each state has its own eligibility requirements, the home health agency may not accept patients covered by Medicaid.
- Is the agency Medicare certified? Only Medicare certified agencies can provide services covered by Medicare. It is also beneficial to determine if the agency will continue services if Medicare or other reimbursement sources are exhausted.

The Tamagawa number conjecture is a generalization (due to Bloch and Kato, building on earlier work of Deligne and Beilinson) of the BSD conjecture. Proving the Tamagawa number for eigenforms of weight two is essentially the same thing as proving BSD for (modular, but all elliptic curves over $\mathbb Q$ are modular) elliptic curves.

Bodybuilding Q&A: Six-Packs & More
What are good pre-workout and post-workout meals?First, both pre-workout and post-workout meals need to include water to prevent dehydration and help in muscle and tissue repair. Also, drink water before, during and after weight-training and aerobic workouts.
As for a pre-weight training workout meal, it should be small and easily digestible, within an hour or two before you lift. Weight training relies on carbohydrate storage for energy, so include some complex carbohydrates, such as fruit and whole grain bread, and also some protein, like low-fat cheese or peanut butter, in your pre-workout meal.
Sports nutritionists such as Liz Applegate, author of Encyclopedia of Sports & Fitness Nutrition (Prima Publishing, 2004) suggests these pre-workout snacks: A package of instant oatmeal made with a ½ cup of skim milk or vanilla-flavored soy milk. Or try a glass of a sports drink and 1 cup of whole grain breakfast cereal mixed with 1 tablespoon of raisins.
As for post-workout meals, Applegate says, "Do your post-exercise eating within 30 to 60 minutes. The post-workout snack is ideally a combination of a carb and a protein." Her post-workout meal examples include two mozzarella sticks, a toasted whole grain English muffin and an orange. Or a ½ cup of frozen blueberries mixed into 1 cup of low-fat, lemon-flavored yogurt eaten with a 1-ounce serving of wheat crackers.
Besides the bench press, what other exercises increase chest size?While the bench press is probably the gym favorite for powerful pecs, the pushup done from all different angles (performed on an incline or a decline position, one-legged, with both hands on a medicine ball, or with one hand on the ball and the other on the floor, for example) is also a great chest builder.
Weighted parallel dips (performed with the added resistance of plates around the waist) also develop big pecs. Another alternative for chest expansion is performing sets of heavy leg exercises, particularly barbell squats, which were a staple for old-time bodybuilders, according to Randall J. Strossen, Ph.D., who wrote a book back in 1989 called Super Squats (IronMind Enterprises). "To be blunt, heavy leg work is the fastest route to big arms, shoulders and chests."
Dr. Strossen mentioned that old-time bodybuilders would do a 20-rep set of heavy, deep-breathing barbell squats, followed immediately by a set of stiff-arm pullovers with a barbell or dumbbell to expand their rib cage and increase chest size.
What's the best way to gain muscle mass?The surest way is to follow a three-part formula:
1. Optimal nutrition
2. Heavy weight training
3. Adequate sleep
Adding muscle is contingent upon optimal nutrition — getting plenty of nourishing calories each day to fuel the muscles before workouts and aid their recovery after workouts. Adhering to balanced nutrition is key for muscle growth. You must have plenty of complex carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, pasta, rice, beans, and potatoes) to energize you for the workout, plenty of protein (from meats, fish, dairy products, nuts, and seeds) to aid in muscle repair, and beneficial fats (from olive oil, fish, nuts, and seeds) to enhance recovery between workouts.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Democratic Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes of Kentucky has released her first attack ad, mischaracterizing Sen. Mitch McConnell's voting record on overhauling Medicare.
In the ad, a retired coal miner asks how he and his wife are supposed to afford the extra $6,000 in Medicare costs that McConnell voted for.
But the plan McConnell supported in 2011 would not have increased that family's Medicare costs because it exempted people who are in or near retirement from any changes to the program.
It would have privatized Medicare over time, which some analysts said would have eventually increased costs.
Shaky claims about Medicare privatization were common in the 2012 campaign and now have surfaced in one of the hottest races of this year's midterm elections.

The fourth segment in our series of articles dealing with mental illness will examine anxiety. Beside the mental disorder of depression, anxiety would have to be another prevalent mental disorder that many suffer from today.
According to the Mayo Clinic, individuals with anxiety disorder, "frequently have intense, excessive worry and irrational fear about everyday situations."
Worry and fear are human emotions that everyone may experience from time to time in their daily life. Simply looking at the evening news can sometimes be enough to bring out these tendencies.
Yet, these emotions become a disorder when it causes such an intense worry and fear in a person's life that it keeps them from leading a normal life. A Harvard health publication states that normal anxiety is the "flight or fight" response that we all have. It is when we have anxiety even when there is no need to fight or run when it becomes detrimental to our mental and physical health. How can we prevent such a disorder to control our lives?
Well, an article on the KPRC Houston television station website mentions such techniques as taking "calming breaths," not "magnifying problems," stopping "worrisome thoughts" to "shifting your point of view." Psychotherapy uses such techniques. These techniques confirm that the solution to the problem to such mental disorders is something we have examined in the introductory article of our series, having right thinking.
It is unfortunate when born-again believers in Jesus Christ resort to the humanistic techniques of psychotherapy when they have available a much higher solution. There is a difference between the solutions of psychotherapy and Biblical solutions. The Biblical solution to worry for the believer has a basis on the Lord himself and not the self-determined techniques of psychotherapy (Phil. 4:6-7):
Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (KJV Phil. 4:6-7)
The word 'careful' in Philippians 4:6 is a translation from the Greek word merimnate, which has a reference to being anxious or worried. Thus, the command to believers is clear, do not be anxious or worried about anything.
According to Philippians 4:7, the "peace of God" is how we can face any situation in our lives without worry. The peace of God is a tranquil state in a believer's soul with the assurance that we have salvation in Jesus Christ. With a solid assurance in the Lord Jesus Christ, we do not have to have any worry and fear about dying. We have victory over death through Jesus Christ. For the believer death is simply a state of sleeping and afterwards waking face to face with the Lord, and no one should be afraid of sleeping (2 Cor. 5:8).
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. (KJV 2 Cor. 5:8)
For the believer who is living in the confidence of their eternal future in Christ, fear of dying should not be an issue. Fear of dying will not prevent us from dying, but it will prevent us from living.
Worry and anxiety neutralizes our spiritual life and distracts us from advancing in our spiritual growth. The command for the believer is to live each day as unto the Lord with the assurance that he will provide any need in our daily lives. Our past or concern about the future should not be a hindrance to any believer. Instead, we are to put all our concerns on the Lord (1 Pet. 5:7).
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. (KJV 1 Pet. 5:7)
Therefore, when the stress of fear, worry or anxiety attacks our soul, we place it in the Lord's hands. Whatever our worry may be, or problem of any kind, the Lord wants to handle it for us, as his children. The Lord knows all our problems and needs and has designed a solution for them all through Jesus Christ our Lord (Phil. 4:19).
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (KJV Phil. 4:19)
Worry and fear destroys the stream of consciousness of any person and will result in mental illness. Worry and fear are mental attitude sins that ignore the doctrinal truth of the Word of God. One of the motivations for becoming addicted to drugs or other substances is having fear of life, anxiety, worry and tension.
Therefore, for the believer in Jesus Christ the solution to fear, worry or any anxiety is in learning the plan of God for your life. The design of God's plan for any believer is to remove fear and replace it with confidence in the Word of God. This confidence carries over into confidence in the Lord himself. The result is having a mental courage in life, not only in all relationship but in all circumstances in life. Who in their sound mind would not want that?

Canes women earn highest ranking ever
CORAL GABLES — Miami's women's basketball has its highest ranking ever.
The Hurricanes moved up one spot to No. 5 in the latest Associated Press poll, which was released Monday, following their 67-60 home win against Florida State on Sunday and No. 5 Duke's 63-61 loss to No. 7 Maryland. The Blue Devils fell two spots to No. 7 in the latest poll, just behind the Terrapins.
The 'Canes' previous ranking tied the highest in school history from 1992. They share first-place in the ACC with Duke heading into Friday's game against the Blue Devils in Durham, N.C. With a win, they would clinch at least a share of the ACC regular-season championship for the second consecutive season.

The AISD has come to a conclusion that more studying and follow-up (also known as "renewing the mind") equals more success. In accordance to this revelation (and most likely, President Obama's desire), the AISD will soon be assigning the students four skill tests a year, to track each students' knowledge of the lessons that have been taught prior. This will further enable the teachers to follow up on each students' progress to date and find areas of opportunity in their teaching method. Then they can make adjustments to better improve the understanding of the class as a whole and make learning fun for every student.
AISD story from the reporter news - http://www.reporternews.com/news/2010/apr/13/benchmarking-hed/
Renewing the mind is the source of living
Renewing the mind until understanding takes place is mandatory in all walks of life. It is a biblical principle written in Romans 12:2 - "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." We can not do something we do not think about and if we want to achieve something, it will require thoughts of that something to be apart of our memory. Understanding requires a retaining of clear thoughts on the subject.
Renewing the mind brings understanding which results in joy. Getting an A on a report card after studying hard, will make anyone happy. A quarterback that learns the plays on offense can utilize more options to gain success. When a baby says a specific word, her mother taught her by repetitiously speaking it, the mother will feel great joy and be encouraged to continue teaching. As a result, the baby advances in teachings and encouragement. Will a student feel more competent if the study material and delivery from the teacher is taught to compliment their learning strengths? Feelings of competence brings feelings of an "I can" attitude.
It is vital that all students feel the effects of success in areas of studies and continue to want to renew their mind. Good successes brings encouragement, hope, positivism, and desire in life as a whole. Lack of success, results in despair, lack of hope, fear, pain, feeling inferior and negativism. One is headed somewhere and the other is headed nowhere.
Confusion walks in circles and renewing clarity walks along a straight path. The opposite of understanding is confusion or lack of understanding. The Bible says, "The double minded man is unstable in all his ways." It's time our students start to walk in straight paths and be encouraged to continue the habits that build a foundation for success so the school as a whole, is more willing to participate because of renewed confidence. Renewing is strengthening.
Just as we can't follow God without renewing oiur mind the students can follow their dreams unless they do too.
The AISD test changes will have more of an effect than most think. Thank God for this change.

Do we own a "right to be forgotten" regarding things in our past? Do we own all the information generated about ourselves?
A recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union in a public records case out of Spain might have provided a resounding "Yes" to both questions. On May 13, Europe's highest court gave individuals the ability to expunge their online records of past indiscretions such as old debts, previous arrests and other unflattering incidents by requiring search engine companies like Google to honor these requests.

Photographer Gang-Raped in Mumbai
A photographer on assignment to document abandoned textile mills in the financial district of Mumbai was raped by five men on Thursday, the BBC reports.
She is currently in stable condition after being treated for multiple injuries. A male colleague who was with her and also taking pictures at the time was assaulted and tied up during the attack. The Mumbai police commissioner reported this morning that one suspect has been detained.
The police also released sketches of the five suspects; they can be found on the BBC site.
Yesterday's attack comes nine months after a 23-year-old student died after she was gang-raped on a city bus in Delhi, an incident that made international headlines and inspired passage of tougher punishments for sex crimes in India.
Police report that the victim in yesterday's attack, an intern at an English language lifestyle magazine based in Mumbai, and her colleague were photographing inside a dilapidated mill in the Shakti Mills district when a man accosted them and asked why they were on the property. He then called four other men to the site.
*Update: The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), which documents attacks on the press, has called for Indian authorities "to investigate this attack with urgency and sensitivity." CPJ ranks India twelfth on its Impunity Index, based on the number of attacks on journalists that have gone unpunished. CPJ's report on sexual violence against journalists can be found here.

By Dara Gantly. The Government could possibly face a bill of in excess of €160 million if the IMO demands a refund of payments GPs would have received if a change to the capitation rate for the over-70s had not been implemented in January 2009.
The IMO informed the Minister for Health in January that it was prepared to assert its right to negotiate on behalf of GPs in relation to all aspects of the GMS contract, even through the courts, and threatened to pull out of the agreement struck with the Government on a reduction in GP fees for over-70s patients if Dr James Reilly failed to recognise the IMO's rights.
The IMO maintains that the agreement for a reduction in fees on the over-70s was contingent to the amendment of the Competition Act, so as to remove any ambiguity of the trade union's entitlement to negotiate the contract and fees. It believes the contract is analogous to an employment-type relationship, and as such, competition law has no bearing on negotiations.
In an interview with Irish Medical Times, IMO CEO George McNeice now says that if the Government decides not to change the Act, it will have to refund the GPs the amount of money they have lost in relation to the new fee. "I don't know what the figures are, but it would be substantial over the years," the CEO stated.
IMT understands that in 2008, an estimated 136,455 over-70s patients were reimbursed at the higher rate of €672. In January 2009, the capitation rate for those individuals aged 70 years requiring a medical card, regardless of income, reduced to €308.77 per annum — a drop of over €360.
Thus, if the numbers of eligible over-70s remained the same, and excluding subsequent FEMPI cuts, the difference in pay over the past three years and four months could amount to more than €162 million.
"You can't decide, 'Well, I'll implement one part of the deal but not the other'. You either implement it all or you don't implement it," McNeice said of the over-70s deal.
Despite a pledge in the Croke Park agreement to make "appropriate changes to the Competition Act and a transformation agenda for GPs", this commitment has not been honoured, mainly due to a letter of advice from the Competition Authority to Hawkins House in August 2011.
This letter stipulated that while the IMO could negotiate on non-fee-related elements of the contract, discuss with the Department an outline offer and relay this offer to its members, it would always be the Minister who ultimately makes the final decision on what the State will pay.
However, McNeice told IMT that if the Government tried to unilaterally change the contract – or if the Competition Authority tried to impose its will – the union would go to court, and as far as the European Court, if necessary.
"In the IMO accounts, we have made provision for legal fees that could arise out of this. We are also planning to set up a legal fund just for GPs, with contributions from GPs only, to take this action when it is necessary – if it becomes necessary.
"If this thing isn't resolved there will be a row of some description. So if you are going to have a row you have better make sure it is the right one at the right time, and that you win it," he added.

Is there any specific reason an ISP will need to change your IP address? What is the purpose of a dynamic IP versus a static IP? For me it seems to happen every 6 months, while for someone I know, it does once a week.
When ISPs were first starting, everyone connected to the Internet over a modem. And most people used the Internet for a few minutes to a few hours per week. Assigning a static IP to every subscriber would have been very expensive, for something that most people used just a few minutes a week.
As broadband connections have become more common, the practical reasons for not assigning a static IP have become much less noticeable, as now the majority of connections are "always-on"--even when nobody is (actively) using the Internet.
So there's a bit of a historical reason not to use static IPs--customers are already accustomed to using dynamic IPs.
When modern ISPs enforce dynamic IPs these days, it may be in part to distinguish between "consumer" and "professional" services--by reserving static IPs for customers who pay more, it gives customers who need that feature an incentive to upgrade their service level.
It can also serve as a deterrent for people abusing their consumer-grade service. Many ISPs, for instance, explicitly prohibit running "servers" on a home Internet connection. If every home user had a static IP, they'd be more inclined to abuse such terms of service.
It's also less of a management problem to assign customers dynamic IPs. If you move across town (but within the same ISP's service area), there's no need to re-assign how your static IP is routed; you'll just get a dynamic IP that exists in the new neighborhood.
I can only speak from the point of a system administrator with a small to medium sized network. But this is a complicated topic so I am going to try to answer in the simplest fashion.
The goal of using dynamically assigned IPs is that most clients do not need the benefits of having a static IP. In your question, connections that would need a static IP would be customers that are hosting services like web servers, email, remote desktop, VPN, etc. The reason for this is that in order for machines to find them on the Internet, they would need to be able to track back to that IP by looking up the IP via DNS. For most home customers, there is no need for this so there is no reason to assign a home user a static IP.
The IP lease time is set by the ISP and typically if your device is still online and requests a new lease, the ISP will give you back the same IP. As nothing is gained by giving you a different IP. This also lets the ISP move blocks of IPs around and do other maintenance without interupting services. Most routers/modems have a display for the WAN IP and typically will display the lease time. It is usually a few hours to a few days. Odds are, your modem asks for an IP regularly, but the DHCP server simply hands it back the same address. When it has a reason NOT to, your IP will be updated with whatever new IP is being handed out.
Static IP addresses are much more difficult to manage. Even most "static" IP addresses are assigned dynamically through DHCP using static reservations, but with either a statically configured IP address or a DHCP static reservation, if the client connection device changes (hardware replacement, upgrade, etc), then someone needs to make a change either on that device or in the DHCP configuration. Dynamic assignment avoids this problem.
Using DHCP also simplifies the network design and allows for easier changes later. If the ISP chooses to make changes to the way they are using their IP addresses, they can do so without making manual changes on client connection devices. Examples of such changes could include any of the following (or others):
DHCP also allows for the ISP to provide additional configuration to some devices. For instance, if they want to provide images/configuration on a TFTP server, this can be provided to the device through DHCP.
Ultimately, it is much easier to manage and provides less complications to administering the network.
There are multiple reasons why as ISP uses DHCP (the service that hands out dynamic IPs). They dont need to change your IP. Actually, in most cases, you will get the same one when your lease (how long you keep that address, before it asks for one again) expires.
Simply because
In the days of analogue modems, each modem was assigned the IP address and who ever dialed into the modem received that IP Address. If you dialed into the same modem, you would receive that same IP Address, if a different modem answered, your IP Address would change.
This of course could be over ridden, but it was easier just to assign a specific modem to a customer, if they wanted a permanent connection, and then their IP Address didn't change.
ISP's change your External IP Address in order to prevent hacking and stalking from daily use on the internet. If you kept the same IP (as in a static IP), you may be able to be tracked on the internet because you always have the same address. This is okay for servers because they require a static IP in order to be found on the net in the same place every time.
Hope this helps.
Another reason for dynamic ips is that fact that when the internet was first made you had much smaller ips(in the format of ivp4 and others) meaning only so many people could be on the internet at once but at that time it was ok. As internet has spread and more people are using it, there have been ivp6 and later evolutions which allow for more diffrent ips meaning more users online at once. Dynamic ips allow for ips to be asigned to someone when there are no free ips and take the ip from someone who is not on the internet. This is a much cheaper options then creating a new standard and making all the routers in the world compatible.

China is often viewed as a political, economic or military threat to the United States. It may be that a looming medical crisis in that nation will pose a medical threat. The Chinese are reporting staggering numbers of measles cases and the outbreak will only grow larger, according to a story in the July 7 South China Morning Post.
The Chinese conducted a successful immunization campaign in 2010 that saw nearly 100 million children under age 14 receive the measles vaccine. In 2012 the nation reported about 6,000 measles cases which was a record low. The Morning Post states that the China's total for 2013 was 27,646 with 24 measles-related deaths. The World Health Organization in a June 10 release notes that China has already reported 25,514 confirmed cases of measles and 51,099 suspected cases since the beginning of 2014.
The problem? The Morning Post points to 245 million migrant workers who have flocked to China's cities for jobs. They represent 18 percent of China's population but, as a survey done in Beijing discovered, their immunization rate is very low. In the local survey cited by the Morning Post, just 55 percent of these workers were immunized as opposed to 92 percent of the children of permanent residents.
The Harvard International Review looked at the health status of migrant workers in China in Jan. 2014. The piece notes the legal status of migrant workers in China's cities is questionable.
A key institutional barrier that has prevented migrant workers' equal access to healthcare benefits is the Hukou, or household registration system. Hukous are categorized into urban ones and rural ones, which give the holder different entitlements. When a person moves from a rural area to a city, his/her Hukou retains its rural status – the government has made it all but impossible to switch easily to an urban one, in fear of opening a floodgate for rural migrants.
In effect, if migrant workers need health care, they must pay for it. Many just "hold on", buy over-the-counter medications or seek treatment at unlicensed clinics.
The measles outbreak in China is small by the 1.36 billion population of the country. Measles is among the most contagious illnesses known. The large numbers of migrant workers without immunity to measles in China mean that an explosion in the number of cases is possible. Measles is also contagious several days before any symptoms appear, allowing a patient opportunity to travel across a country or an ocean.
A report from the Migration Policy Institute produced in Jan. 2012 notes that the Chinese were the "second-largest immigrant group in the country" in 2010. The large increase in illegal immigrants in the last month appears to include Chinese who could be bringing measles with them. Albert Spratte, a Border Patrol officer in Texas, told the National Review that "[Traffic of Chinese-born persons] seemed to have dried up for awhile, but then maybe within the last month or so it seemed to have increased."

Now if I had the money two buy two close quarter battle rifles.
I would go with the AK 47 and then buy lots of ammo.
I have been at this game for some years now. I was always in the mind set of " Can't have to many guns" well lets put it this way, you can. I have had as many as fifty to sixty battle rifles at one time.
But lately this last year or so I have drastically reduced my collection.
To where I am down to family airlomes and those guns I absolutely need. I am stock piling ammo as we speak. I want to be able to continue to train and become as proficient with my select few guns as I can possibly be. There is buying madness going on right now and I can understand that. If you don't have a battle rifle you should get one.
I have chosen the three weapons that are the most reliable and easy to replace parts for then any other weapon, these three weapons have never failed me they go bang every time I pull the trigger.
I choose my weapons not for there aesthetic appeal but for there history,
there recommendations from trained professionals that I respect and there common calibers and KISS factor.

Why add anything to a perfect response? Perhaps an FAL instead of the AR. And I thought we were talking about 'assault rifles'.

Deputy Prime Minister and Commander of the National Guard Crown Prince Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz yesterday paid a visit to the site near the city of Madinah of the historic Battle of Badr, before proceeding to Yanbu to lay the foundation stones of a number of development projects.
Crown Prince Abdullah began his tour of SABIC plants at the Industrial City of Yanbu by inaugurating the new cement factory. The daily production capacity is 7,500 tons, to be added to the 4,500 tons produced by the existing factory. The complex now includes the two factories, two power stations, and a housing enclave. The Saudi workforce in the Saudi Cement Company is now 66.5 percent.
Tomorrow, Crown Prince Abdullah will inaugurate Yanbu's second oil refinery, which will have an annual production capacity of 2 million barrels, bringing the total production to 4 million barrels. The extra 2 million barrels will be exported.
Meanwhile, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) reported a profit of SR 535 million (U.S. $ 142.67 million) in the third quarter of 1999. This shows an increase that reflects the rise in prices of some of its strategic products, its program to reduce production costs, and a rise in the volume of sales.

Trading binary options has become increasingly popular over the past few years, especially for people who constantly follow the financial markets and business news. Investors find these options attractive because of their simple yes/no proposition for potentially getting returns on their capital.
What Are Binary Options?
This type of option reflects the significant compression of investment horizons. It caters to people who want to act immediately on insights obtained from news sources, company announcements, industry trends, and other data points that can affect the valuation of an asset.
As with other forms of investing, the correct interpretation of information is how an individual makes money.
With binary options, an investor must anticipate whether a financial instrument will or will not have a specific price on a certain date. For example, will Disney stock (NYSE: DIS) trade at or above $80 a share on Tuesday at 1:30 pm?
If an option holder makes the right choice, he'll receive a predetermined amount of cash. Thus, binary options have reduced maturity dates to minutes, not years.
Keeping Emotions in Check
Here's advice on the mindset of successful binary options traders: Keep your emotions in check.
When risking your capital, it's extremely important to remain sober, detached, and intellectually composed. Emotions will negatively influence your trading decisions because your choices won't be based on valid information.
You will occasionally lose money, and that not every trade will go your way, indeed, there will be times when you hit a losing streak and nothing seems to go your way. Likewise, excitement is also a liability.
Binary options may be traded on platforms regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory agencies. Many are also traded over Web platforms that exist outside of regulations.
Investors will need to exercise caution per this SEC investor alert. Some complaints come from "the refusal of certain Internet-based binary options trading platforms to credit customer accounts or reimburse funds after accepting customer money."
Make sure you work with a reputable provider.

Tonight, Sep. 1, "Bachelor in Paradise" picked up after the last Rose Ceremony. Michelle was excited to receive a rose from Cody, but she was nervous he told her he was falling in love with her. She talked to him and asked if they could slow things down and work on forming a friendship first. Cody agreed, but he worried, since he knew his feelings were real.
When the group got back to their rooms, a date card was waiting. It instructed Marcus to "choose a Lacy" to go on the date with him, and the two of them headed off the next morning for their date. They climbed down into a cave and went swimming through the cave, which also featured bats. Marcus and Lacy made it out of the cave and shared drinks. Lacy told Marcus she was on the same page he was and was falling in love with him.
Michelle talked to Jesse about her situation with Cody. She said she felt very overwhelmed and didn't want to call it off, but things were moving very fast with Cody. After hearing her out, Jesse thought Michelle should call it off.
Robert and Sarah were getting along very well and spent plenty of time making out in the ocean. Brooks, who Sarah had hoped would come to paradise, showed up with a date card. Zack and Robert took Brooks aside to fill him in on what was going on, and Robert strongly discouraged Brooks from asking Sarah to go on the date with him. Sarah told Graham and Jackie she wanted to go on a date with Brooks and worried what the guys were telling him.
Brooks asked Jackie on the dinner date with him, and Sarah was disappointed she didn't have the opportunity. She liked that Robert was being territorial, but all she could think about was Brooks.
Brooks and Jackie went to dinner at Casa Banana, and Brooks quickly started to like Jackie. Jackie felt she was in a tough spot, since she wasn't sure if she should be pursuing things with Brooks after accepting Zack's rose. Brooks and Jackie started up a foos ball game at the restaurant after they finished dinner, and Jackie won.
Sarah received a note from Robert on her bed, asking her to meet him on the beach. She went down to talk to him, and they shared wine and talked. Robert and Sarah talked about what they might do once the show ended, and Robert said he wanted to take Sarah on dates. She agreed and said it would be nice to continue things in the real world. To the camera, she said Brooks being there helped her see what she had with Robert.
Michelle and Cody also talked on the beach about going at a slower pace. Cody explained that he was just being honest. Michelle said it was important for her to have a solid foundation with someone and told Cody she adored him and loved how open he had been with her, but she was scared.
Christy and Michelle talked, and Christy found out Jesse had fooled around with Lucy before she left. Christy was ready to leave, since there weren't any guys left for her. Tasos, from Andi's season, arrived and announced he had a date card. He asked Michelle to talk, and she told him he should ask Christy on the date. Tasos asked Christy on the date, and she agreed to go.
Tasos and Christy went for a boat ride. They hopped into the water and floated down the lazy river together before sharing some snacks. Tasos told Christy all he could think about was kissing her, but he wanted her to feel comfortable, so he did not.
Brooks and Jackie played "Horse" on the beach. Zack watched them and felt frustrated…until he received a date card later on. He invited Jackie to go along with him, and she rushed off to get ready. AshLee went off about Graham not receiving a date card – she felt irritated and wanted him to have the best experience possible.
Zack and Jackie went swimming through a cave. Afterward, they sat around and talked. Jackie was excited that Zack had chosen her and shown interest, whereas other guys had chosen her by default. They kissed and danced inside the cave, and Jackie said it might just have been her favorite date.
Before the Rose Ceremony, the guys on the line had conversations to try and secure their spots. Zack gave Jackie a bracelet, and the two kissed, but they returned to the rest of the group pretty quickly. Brooks took Jackie aside to tell her that she may have seemed like the best option, but she was actually the best option for him. He painted her nails, which they had apparently promised each other to do.
Christy told Tasos she felt differently about him than Jesse and wanted to take things slowly. Jesse also took a turn talking to Christy, who said she didn't want things between them to go any further. Jesse said he wouldn't drag it out and would walk away. He even said it was his fault for not making Christy open up before making a speech to the other guys about leaving. Michelle and Lacy were very upset by all of this and encouraged Christy to confront Jesse.
Christy went to talk to Jesse, who was in the car waiting to leave. Christy told Jesse he was leaving because he wasn't going to get a rose at the Rose Ceremony. Jesse said he got what he wanted and wasn't being a coward. Lacy and Michelle joined the conversation and told Jesse he did say negative things about what he did with girls there. After they spoke their pieces, Jesse left.
At the Rose Ceremony, Lacy gave her rose to Marcus, AshLee gave her rose to Graham, Sarah gave hers to Robert, and Michelle gave hers to Cody. Christy gave her rose to Tasos, leaving Jackie to make the final choice of the night. She wound up giving her rose to Zack, which meant Brooks was heading home. He was disappointed and wished he would have arrived sooner.
Chris Harrison showed up and told everyone this was the last Rose Ceremony. He said there would be no more date cards, no more new arrivals, and everything was about to change.

SEPTA's plastic token-containing packages all read the message, "go green go [SEPTA logo]," and have commuters evaluating why there's such an eco-friendly message on a not-so-eco-friendly packaging system.
For those unfamiliar with SEPTA, it's Philadelphia's public transportation system. One token serves as one ride per passenger; Token packages currently hold two or more tokens.
SEPTA rider for 66 years, Denise Brown, believes the eco-friendly message is merely about taking SEPTA vehicles versus other means of transportation.
"Taking the train uses less energy than driving a car, especially if you're just driving yourself… I don't think the plastic wrapping is the thing SEPTA is talking about that's environment-friendly here," said Brown.
Visit Philly lists the use of SEPTA as the second tip on going green Philadelphia-style. In fact, SEPTA's annual reports show a constant decline in gases emitted per mile traveled from 2009 to date.
SEPTA Rider Elmer Vogt deems the message as reading more than slightly sarcastic, "I think it's incredibly ironic because plastic is not known to be a green element. I know that taking the bus is better for the environment than other ways to get around the city… I just don't think much thought was put into this one, and it makes me laugh."
Vogt suggested the use of recycled papers to hold the coins instead, and then began belting out Alanis Morissette's hit, "Ironic" while fellow commuters applauded.
According to SEPTA Watch reviewer, Matthew Mitchell, the tokens are pre-packaged in clear plastic so commuters can make sure they're receiving the proper amount of tokens for what they paid. This prevents any sort of "he said, she said" conflict. For example, if a commuter paid for three tokens and only two are in the package, that commuter can show a SEPTA employee before opening the bag and get a replacement. Once the bag is open, a replacement cannot be issued.
What do you think is more important: Changing the token packaging to be more eco-friendly, or managing commuter conflict? Comment your thoughts below.

U.S. President Barack Obama and Pope Francis have met in the Vatican today for the first time amid what some Vatican-watchers and experienced hands in observing Catholic affairs in the United States are calling "tense relations" between the White House and the Catholic Church. V. Bradley Lewis, Professor of philosophy at the Catholic University of America told Catholic News Agency that much of this tension revolves around the issue of the liberty of the Church. "There has been a great deal of acrimony over issues related to religious freedom. This is something new and quite serious, since it affects the ability of the Church to carry out its mission," Lewis told CNA. The meeting between the Successor of Peter and the President comes at a time when many Catholic institutions have filed challenges to the Administration's mandate that services tied to religious groups such as universities, hospitals, hospices, shelters, and rest homes for the aged must provide insurance coverage that pays for contraception and abortion. Challenges to the mandate in the Catholic world have come from institutions as varied as the University of Notre Dame to the Little Sisters of the Poor.
Observers described today's meeting between Pope and President as cordial and friendly, and many noted that at nearly an hour long, the encounter was unusually lengthy, as meetings between Popes and heads of state or government don't normally take such a large bloc of time out of the Pontiff's day. In it's official statement, the Vatican was clear, albeit in its usual diplomatic language, that the two men likely had a frank, if warm, discussion on issues facing the Church in America, largely at the hands of the President's administration. "In the context of bilateral relations and cooperation between Church and State, there was a discussion on questions of particular relevance for the Church in that country, such as the exercise of the rights to religious freedom, life and conscientious objection, as well as the issue of immigration reform," the Holy See's official statement on the meeting said. The Vatican did say that the Pope and Obama do share a "common commitment to the eradication of trafficking in human persons in the world." At the conclusion of the meeting, the Holy Father presented the President with a bound copy of his Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel).

Building Business Within a Community
by Alexandra Levit - Nov, 2015
The seeds of community can be critical when it comes to choosing a location for a new brick-and-mortar business, and small-business owners are likely to rely on personal connections to develop and sustain a strong customer base.

Nation's oldest Muslim organization sends condolences and calls for peace and justice
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community - USA had strongly condemned the 'senseless shooting' on Sikh worshipers gathered at the Gurdwara in the city of Oak Creek, near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, it was stated in the community's press release issued yesterday.
"While details of the attack continue to emerge," the press release said, "such brutality and hatred does not represent the otherwise tolerant and peaceful relationships between faith communities in this nation."
"Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA calls on all people of conscience to condemn this act," the statement further read.
"Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA extends its prayers, condolences and sympathy to the Sikh community and hopes that justice will be established as law enforcement search for the suspect."
Dr. Nasim Rehmatullah, National Vice President of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, USA expressed profound grief over the incident and killing of innocent members of the Sikh community.
"We are saddened that our Sikh friends suffered at the hands of this senseless act," Dr. Rehmatullah said.
"This incident demonstrates more attention needs to be paid to religious education in order to foster a more tolerant and peaceful society."
The local chapter of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community in Milwaukee held a prayer vigil last evening to honor the memory of the victims of the shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin.
Headquartered in Maryland, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA is the first American-Muslim organization.
Founded in India in 1889, the community was established in the USA in 1920.

Nuisance from Wind Turbines and Heat Pumps
There are a variety of renewable energy schemes available, including the use of domestic and larger sized wind turbines and heat pumps (large pumps and fans that recover heat from the air or ground) - all of these can cause noise, which may disturb neighbours.
Despite current small numbers in use, some local authorities have received complaints about noise and vibration. Where complaints have been found to be justified, the cause of the problem is generally:
- insecure fitting, causing vibration through the building
- too close proximity to a neighbours property
- non-use of a braking system during the night which reduces the speed of the turbine blades and therefore any noise produced.
Currently planning permission may be required from |Planning Services to install a wind turbine or heat pump, however, it is proposed that planning permission requirements may be relaxed in the future.
The Government plans to publish guidelines on wind turbines, which could include noise levels and separation distances from the turbine to any neighbouring property.
What can I do about wind turbine or heat pump noise?
In situations where the noise level from nearby premises becomes intolerable there are a number of courses of action open to you:
Initial Informal Action
- Speak to the person causing the nuisance. Explain the disturbance and ask for co-operation to reduce the problem. Allow adequate time for your request to be considered and for any necessary action to be taken to reduce the noise.
- If a direct approach fails, put your complaint in writing to the person causing the nuisance. Be polite in requesting a reduction in the disturbance. Allow adequate time for your request to be considered and for any necessary action to be taken to reduce the noise. Keep copies of all correspondence for future reference.
- If the problem continues, or it is difficult to approach the person causing the noise, contact |Environmental Services in writing, by telephone, e-mail or use our |online nuisance report form. Provide as much information as possible about the problem including the days/times when it exists, any action you have already taken and copies of any correspondence, |nuisance record sheets and any short audio/visual clips you may have gathered.
Noise Amounting to a Nuisance
To take formal action it has to be established that the noise amounts to a "nuisance" in law, usually referred to as a "|statutory nuisance", and not merely an inconvenience. In any court case, evidence of dates, times and duration of the offending noise is necessary to prove the case e.g. |nuisance record sheets and a description of how the noise seriously disturbs you.
