OpenEMR is a Free and Open Source electronic health records and medical practice management application that can run on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and many other platforms. OpenEMR is ONC certified and is one of the most popular open source electronic medical records in use today. OpenEMR is supported by a strong community of volunteers and professionals all with the common goal of making OpenEMR a superior alternative to its proprietary counterparts. The OpenEMR community is dedicated to guarding OpenEMR's status as a free, open source software solution for medical practices and is dedicated to maintaining a spirit of openness, kindness and cooperation.
Open-source software is software whose source code is published and made available to the public, enabling anyone to copy, modify and redistribute the source code without paying royalties or fees. Open source code evolves through community cooperation and collaboration. These communities are composed of individual programmers as well as very large companies. Traditional proprietary companies compete with each other and software solutions must be invented anew for each company which wastes valuable resources. In contrast, open source communities and companies collaborate their resources to build software much more efficiently. It has been reported that open-source software has resulted in at least $60 billion dollars in savings to consumers.
If Open Source software has resulted in $60 billion dollars in savings to consumers, then isn't it about time the healthcare sector also started to benefit from Open Source software?
Just imagine the following:
1. You have access to free, feature-rich EMR software.
2. You have complete control over this EMR software.
3. You have complete control over your patient's data.
4. You can hire (and fire) whomever you want to support your EMR software.
An Open Source EMR provides all of these things!!!
OpenEMR provides all of these things!!!

Why is Technology Transfer important for ESO
The ESO Member States invest a significant amount of money into ESO's projects. Although the scientific return has always been paramount in justifying this investment, in these days of ever more ambitious and expensive projects, the pursuit of scientific knowledge alone is not always a sufficient justification. More and more governments are looking at the "Technological Return" they get from their contributions, and question the broader value to society as a whole of the money given for ESO's projects.
By identifying and quantifying examples of Technology Transfer at ESO, the process of Technology Transfer within the Organisation can be encouraged, and the awareness of the broader benefits to society within the Member States be highlighted.
Apart from direct technological return, there are also secondary benefits for European industry and for society as a whole. In particular, these include:
SO's public relations and educational activities not only increase the awareness of ESO's scientific results among the general public, they are also an important way of stimulating interest in astronomy amongst school children who will be the next generation of European astronomers.

A major concern among many of our Foodfacts.com followers is bisphenol A , better known as BPA. We'll try to clear up any questions you may have regarding products containing BPA, and also give you tips and resources on how to avoid exposure.
First, what is BPA?
Bisphenol A is a chemical which is produced and used in large quantities for polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins which are commonly found in cans for food and jar lids.
Why is BPA a concern?
BPA is an endocrine disruptor. Exposure has been linked to a higher risk of prostate and breast cancers, infertility in females, diabetes, obesity, and ADHD.
Where can I find BPA?
A recent report issued by the Breast Cancer Fund showed various levels of BPA in different canned-foods marketed towards children. Note that these products may not be the only items containing BPA. BPA is measured in parts per billion (ppb):
114 ppb – Campbell's Disney Princess Cool Shapes, Shaped Pasta with Chicken in Chicken Broth
81 ppb – Campbell's Toy Story Fun Shapes, Shaped Pasta with Chicken in Chicken Broth
39 ppb – Earth's Best Organic Elmo Noodlemania Soup, USDA Organic
31 ppb – Annie's Homegrown Cheesy Ravioli, USDA Organic
13 ppb – Campbell's Spaghettios with Meatballs
20 ppb – Chef Boyardee Whole Grain Pasta, Mini ABC's & 123's with Meatballs
Now that you know some of the foods which are exposed to BPA, you can also learn some foods that do not contain this chemical. The easiest way to find out, is to go online and do some research.
We've found that Eden Organic, Wild Planet, Trader Joe's, Eco Fish, Edward & Son's products do not use this chemical in their packaging. Also, Rubbermaid, Evenflo, and a few other plastic-based companies address that their items are available without BPA. Don't be surprised if these items are a bit more pricey, because they tend to materials that cost more for each product.
Do your research on BPA!

As we continue to explore longevity this month, the attention of the topic, in general, focuses heavily on our physical body addressing illness prevention and maintaining our outer appearance. One aspect of longevity, however, that seems to only receive focus in the senior stage of life is our brain health.
There is something to be said about aging gracefully. As most people approach their golden years, even if they are in good shape, the health of their brain could still lead to a deteriorating lifestyle leaving them and their loved ones in a painful situation.
A recent study conducted at the
1.[http://www.faculty.virginia.edu/cogage/index.shtml] showed that age-related mental decline starts in your late twenties. At 22, the human mind is at apex of mental powers and starts declining as early as age 27. Mental functions like reasoning, mental speed, and puzzle-solving are the first to go, and memory loss starts to kick in around age 37.
The findings from this study suggest that some aspects of age-related cognitive decline begin in healthy, educated adults when they are in their 20s and 30s, and that therapies designed to prevent or reverse age-related conditions may need to start earlier, long before people retire.
One of the most troubling American illnesses is
2.[http://www.alz.org/alzheimers_disease_what_is_alzheimers.asp], a brain disorder that destroys brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking and behavior severe enough to affect work, lifelong hobbies or social life. Serious memory loss, confusion and other major changes in the way our minds work are not a normal part of aging and may be a sign that brain cells are failing.
The health of your brain plays a critical role in almost everything you do: thinking, feeling, remembering, working, and playing - even sleeping. In 1993, the World Health Organization (WHO) said, "There is a suspected link between Alzheimer's disease and the toxicity of aluminum." One of the WHO's Public Health Reports cited autopsies that found high concentrations of aluminum in the brains of those afflicted with Alzheimer's disease.
Many doctors and holistic experts advise avoiding products known to contain additional aluminum - especially deodorants or antiperspirants in an aerosol spray, which can be absorbed through the nasal passages, into the bloodstream, and affect both the respiratory system and the brain. You should also reconsider your consumption of food and beverage products in aluminum containers.
To jump start your own brain health program, the
2.[http://www.alz.org/alzheimers_disease_what_is_alzheimers.asp] recommends:
Staying mentally active
Mentally stimulating activities strengthen brain cells and the connections between them, and may even create new nerve cells. Brain Fitness is becoming increasingly popular in addition to physical exercise; people dedicate time for brain conditioning activities such as puzzles, card games, board games and brain teasers. Some fitness venues have incorporated ' where members can leverage their time and get both a physical and mental work-out. More and more executives are incorporating brain fitness into their workouts.
Remaining socially active
Social activity not only makes physical and mental activity more enjoyable, it can reduce stress levels, which helps maintain healthy connections among brain cells.
Staying physically active
Physical exercise is essential for maintaining good blood flow to the brain as well as to encourage new brain cells. It can also significantly reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and diabetes, and thereby protect against those risk factors for Alzheimer's and other dementias. Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and McLean Hospital have found that may elevate brain gamma-aminobutyric (GABA) levels, the brain's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter. Depression and anxiety disorders both contribute to this burden and are associated with low GABA levels.
Adopting a brain-healthy diet
Research suggests that high cholesterol may contribute to stroke and brain cell damage. A low fat, low cholesterol diet is advisable. And there is growing evidence that a diet rich in dark vegetables and fruits, which contain antioxidants, may help protect brain cells. We provided a list of brain food below.
Dr. Daniel Amen, author of Making A Good Brain Great: The Amen Clinic Program For Achieving And Sustaining Optimal Mental Performance, offers six things you can do to relieve stressors on the brain which include:
Recognize that Stress Can Make You Sick
Get Enough Sleep
Tai Chi, often described as "meditation in motion," is an ancient form of stretching and balance that can help you age well. Numerous studies suggest that Tai Chi may improve everyday physical functioning, lower blood pressure, ease chronic pain, relieve anxiety, and slow bone loss after menopause. It also shows promise for alleviating insomnia, a common problem in the elderly: A sleep study found that people age 59 to 86 who regularly practiced a form of Tai Chi got more Z's and better sleep quality than those who didn't.
Take Supplements
There are lots of things you could take, but Amen wants to keep this simple. He says that there is research that shows that Omega 3 (fish oil) and a good multi-vitamin promote brain health.
Develop Internal ANT-Eater
Dr. Amen calls ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts) stressors for the brain. These are the daily, automatic negative thoughts that go through your head in the day. "Whenever you feel sad, mad or nervous, you need to write out what you are thinking. Look at them," he says. "Are they reasonable or are they torturing you unnecessarily? And then you talk back to them. You don't have to believe every thought you have. Thoughts can lie. Correcting them will go a long way to treating depression and anxiety."
Check out these brain health tips and mind game from Dr. Mehmet Oz,cardiologist and Oprah's medical expert.
Neglecting the health of your brain is like having a beautiful, top-notch car without a gas tank to hold the fuel. Be smart and remember that a balanced approach to longevity is from head to toe caring and acknowledging the body, mind and soul.
BRAIN FOOD!http://www.greenmonkey.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/fish-150x150.jpg![mind game|http://www.greenmonkey.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/fish.jpg]
Omega 3 fatty acids found in oily fish, as well as fish oil, walnut oil and flaxseeds (linseeds) - are high in DHA, a fatty acid crucial to the health of our nervous system. Low DHA levels have been linked to a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and memory loss. Fish also contain iodine, which is known to improve mental clarity.
Evidence suggests that lycopene, a powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes, could help protect against the kind of free radical damage to cells which occurs in the development of dementia, particularly Alzheimer's.
Vitamin B12, found in seafood and poultry. A recent study found that people with low blood levels of this nutrient experienced a faster decline in cognitive function than those with higher levels. Most of us can get enough B12 from our diet, but certain people need supplements, such as vegans (who don't eat animal products), notes Dr. Andrew Weil. The same goes for some people over 65, because decreased levels of stomach acid can make it difficult to absorb B12 from food. Weil recommends these groups take B12 as part of a B-complex supplement.Folic acid and vitamin B12 help prevent homocysteine from building up in the body - levels of which have been found to be higher in people who have Alzheimer's. Fortified cereals are a great source of B12 and also contain complex carbohydrates which release energy over a long period and will keep you more mentally alert throughout the day.
A daily dose of zinc, found in a handful of pumpkin seeds, can be vital to enhancing memory and thinking skills.
Broccoli is a great source of vitamin K, which is known to enhance cognitive function and improve [Dr. Andrew Weil|http://www.greenmonkey.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/sage.jpg]brainpower.
Sage has a long reputation for improving memory
A study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology suggests that a good intake of Vitamin E might help to prevent poor memory. Nuts are a great source of vitamin E along with leafy green vegetables, seeds, eggs, brown rice and whole grains.
Eye Q, a blend of high grade marine fish oil and evening primrose oil, is thought to boost brainpower in children. A study by Durham County Council and Mansfield College, Oxford, concluded that 40 percent of the children sampled improved both their reading skills and attention spans when taking the supplements.
Ethos Endymion, which contains L-Carnosine, a strong antioxidant which appears to have dramatic results for a number of conditions: cataracts, improving skin tone, speeding up wound healing, and protecting the brain from plaque formation that may lead to senility and Alzheimer's. L-Carnosine is found in chicken and lean red meat so this powder supplement could be especially useful for vegans or those with high cholesterol.

For the first time in 10 years, there are confirmed gangs in Aiken County, and investigators say they're looking for members.
Crime Team 12's Kristen Cosby has been investigating some of the signs of gang activity.
Aiken Public Safety Officer Nancy Kieltsch says it's clear that in the last few months, about a dozen gangs have organized in Aiken County.
"They'll wear the same style clothing, they'll have bandanas," Kieltsch says.
Public Safety has been watching groups in Aiken for about a year and now feels comfortable calling them gangs.
The writing is on the wall everywhere.
"Here 'negate' means 'deny yourself'," says Kieltsch, pointing out some graffiti. "What that means is if you're caught by law enforcement you are to deny that you belong to this particular gang. This pi symbolizes a family on this gang graffiti and officers say a family is really what many gang members are looking for.
"They're looking for something bigger than what they have currently, which is sometimes nothing, and what the gang does for them is provides that bigger something, that bigger family," says Kieltsch.
Captain Wendell Hall doesn't want to alarm you, but he does want you to know that law enforcement across the area is working together to watch gangs.
"We're trying to stay ahead of the curve on this, be proactive instead of reactive," Hall says.
Captain Hall says few gangs have committed serious crimes, but he has seen them vandalize houses trying to recruit members.
Gangs typically look for members between the ages of 12 and 25. Other than that, they don't discriminate.
"Completely across the board: male, female, black, white."
So, officers continue learning about the new gangs, in hopes they'll become a thing of the past. And, Captain Hall wants to stress, Aiken Public Safety has shared what they're learning with surrounding cities and Aiken County. He says the agencies are now working together to watch these gangs, because the gangs certainly don't stop at the city limits.
There are about a dozen gangs in Aiken County. While Public Safety doesn't have an exact count of the gang members, they say a gang is defined by at least three people. So the gangs have at least three members, and most have more.

Nicki Minaj has apologized for using an image of Malcolm X in conjunction with her new song invoking the N-word.
"I apologize to the Malcolm X estate if the meaning of the photo was misconstrued," she wrote on Instagram, in reference to her tying the song's title, "Lookin Ass (N-word)," with a photo from a 1964 Ebony magazine showing the black civil rights leader looking out a window while holding an M-1 rifle.
"Do you have a problem with me referring to the people Malcolm X was ready to pull his gun out on as Lookin Ass (N-word)?" she wrote, in response to a number of comments -- some supportive, some highly critical.
"Well, I apologize," Minaj continued. "That was never the official artwork nor is this an official single. This is a conversation. Not a single. I am in the video shooting at Lookin Ass (N-word) and there happened to be an iconic photo of Malcolm X ready to do the same thing for what he believed in!!!! It is in no way to undermine his efforts and legacy."
Some of her followers felt otherwise, according to the Los Angeles Times.
"No matter which way you look at it, it's wrong and it's ignorant," a reader with the handle Cyd_Charrise posted. "It's time that black people wake up and look at themselves in the mirror and see that hatred still exists because of the color of our skin. When we display this ... behavior, what do we expect when our sons and brothers are getting murdered in these streets? No one is making any conscious effort to change anything in these communities, instead they pollute it with this filth."
Minaj concluded her message, which is accompanied by a new photo of her holding a machine gun, saying: "The (N) word ... causes so much debate in our community while the (N-word) behavior gets praised and worship. Let's not. Apologies again to his family. I have nothing but respect and adoration for u. The photo was removed hours ago. Thank you."

The pastry world is a flour-filled place. Cakes and cookies demand wheat for structure, and puddings need thickeners and -- hold up. It doesn't have to be that way, says Nicole Spiridakis, a former San Franciscan whose new "Flourless" cookbook (Chronicle Books, $27.95, 192 pages) just landed in bookstores.
There are naturally gluten-free ways, she says, to create everything from Pavlovas to crumbles, teacakes and sweets. You can use ground nuts, cornmeal, oatmeal and eggs. And none of those methods involves ingredients from a chem lab.
"There are so many complicated mixes -- and the gums! I don't like them," Spiridakis says. "So I use nuts and other naturally gluten-free substances, rather than gums. I wanted these to taste really good -- taste delicious! -- and be stand-alone gluten-free. It's great that there are gluten-free flours, but these recipes are more streamlined, approachable, not intimidating."
So Spiridakis started with desserts that weren't flour-dependent to begin with -- cakes made with ground nuts, egg whites and a little cornstarch -- and then extrapolated. So a plum cake gets its structural integrity from ground pistachios and hazelnuts. Oatmeal cookies rely on ground oatmeal, bound with peanut butter -- great straight from the oven or cooled and used for ice cream sandwiches. And carrot cake cupcakes are supported by all the things you love most about carrot cake -- the carrots, coconut, raisins and walnuts -- lightly bound with eggs, butter and a little cornstarch, then topped with a maple cream cheese frosting.
The book may tout its gluten-free sweets, Spiridakis says, but it's a book for everyone, and most of the recipes are infinitely adaptable. Among her summertime favorites: a Strawberry Rhubarb Maple Cake that works equally well with plums or blueberries; and a Mexican Hot Chocolate Cake spiked with cinnamon and cayenne and iced with a milk chocolate-buttermilk frosting.

As the New Jersey area continues to recover from last week's storm, local celebrities are donating their sizable talents to various events benefiting storm-torn residents. You know, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Snooki ...
Right. Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and the rest of the "Jersey Shore" gang is teaming with nonprofit Architecture for Humanity to put on "Restore the Shore," a special benefit set to air live Nov. 15 on MTV.
MTV is, of course, the channel that broadcasts "Jersey Shore," the reality show that has offended a great many people -- especially those who live on the Jersey shore.
Still, this is a very serious situation and, naturally, public figures would want to leverage their celebrity status to help out in their own backyard. It's a credit to the cast members, and they deserve kudos -- not that anyone is implying that drawing publicity and public kudos is their main motivation. It goes without saying that seeing one's hometown torn up by Mother Nature has to be awful.
I know -- you're waiting for the "but" ... .
BUT out here in sunny California, many of us don't know much about New Jersey or Snooki, Michael "The Situation" Sorrentino, Jenni "JWoww" Farley, or the rest of the reality show cast, outside of what we see on "Jersey Shore." All we know about New Jersey is that it's a place Bruce Springsteen sings about a lot, and its Republican governor won't say President Obama is the devil. As for the "Jersey Shore" cast members: They drink. They fight. They dress badly, they work out and get their hair and nails done.
And those are the guys.
Hey, people pitch in as best they can. If (when?) the Big One hits out here, and whatever taqueria at which I happen to be inhaling more calories than my body should logically be able to handle doesn't collapse around my salsa-splashed face, I would use whatever talents I have to help out. Which, sadly, isn't enough to raise more than five or six bucks.
I once helped organize a benefit after Hurricane Katrina, in conjunction with radio station KSAN-FM 107.7 (The Bone), back when I was a music writer. It was a lot of hard work. We convinced some big name local musicians to come from all over (some had moved around the country) to perform and raise money for New Orleans. It worked out beautifully. But it was a lot of work.
That means I have a lot of respect for anyone trying to do something like this, even just to show up and give their valuable time ... (here comes another) ... BUT the folks at The Bone and I had proven talent doing what they do best.
So ... what will the "Jersey Shore" kids do to raise money?
Shots for charity
Their talents, so far, seem to reside in drinking, having drunken sex with each other, getting into drunken arguments and fights with each other ... you get the idea. There's a lot of drinking involved. It's not the most highbrow show (he wrote, delicately, because he has on occasion been accused of being somewhat less than sophisticated, and because no one wants to look like they're criticizing someone who's performing good deeds).
OK, call it bad taste for a good cause. Is that a good idea?
And if they do somehow pull it off -- maybe the nation is ready to pledge a dollar amount per shot of tequila consumed -- is this the beginning of more reality stars stepping forward for higher causes? Will the "Real Housewives" slap-fight at the next MS telethon? Will Kris Jenner auction off her daughters for breast cancer awareness? Will Honey Boo Boo do ... whatever she does ... for the rights of home-schooled pet chickens?
Why not? Ultimately, it's a good cause. That's what really matters.

Middle English (in the sense 'turn around, send in a different direction'): from Old French convertir, based on Latin convertere 'turn around', from con- 'altogether' + vertere 'turn'.
verse from Old English:
In his poem 'Digging' (1966), Seamus Heaney resolves to carry on the family tradition of digging the soil by 'digging' himself, not with a spade like his father and grandfather, but with a pen. The link between agriculture and writing poetry goes all the way back to the origin of the word verse, as Latin versus meant both 'a turn of the plough, furrow' and 'a line of writing'. The idea here is that of a plough turning and marking another straight line or furrow. Versus is also the source of versatile (early 17th century) and version (Late Middle English), and it is based on Latin vertere 'to turn', from which vertebra (early 17th century), vertical (mid 16th century), vertigo (Late Middle English), and many other words such as adverse (Late Middle English), convert (Late Middle English), and pervert (Late Middle English) 'turn bad'. Vortex (mid 17th century) is closely related. Versed (early 17th century), as in well versed in, is different, coming from Latin versari 'be engaged in'.

BRENTWOOD -- An anonymous online posting of a severely emaciated horse was so heartbreaking to one local woman recently that it prompted her to track it down and save it.
Brentwood resident Corinne Tate said she saw the posting of a skeletal horse on Facebook with the caption, "Does anyone know if this is real?"
"The picture that I saw of this poor horse ... it was so pitiful ... skin and bones," Tate said. "And when I saw that I thought, 'Oh my God -- you can't -- I just couldn't turn my back on him.'"
Tate is no stranger to rescuing animals. Her family will attest that she has been known to rescue the occasional dog or even goat, but never an animal of the large-breed variety and certainly never one that was posted anonymously.
"You want to feel bad for the folks involved, but you don't know what the story is so you can't make any judgment calls," she said.
So armed with the name of the town, the street that the horse was located on and a could-be-any-pasture-in-America photo, Tate went into sleuth mode. Utilizing Google Maps' street view, she began virtually driving up and down the rural road in the northern California town of Flournoy (population 101).
It wasn't long before Tate was able to match the scantly seen fence and barn in the photo to a virtual one she saw online.
"I was lucky because it was one of those big roads with just a few houses on it," she said.
Next, she did an Internet search on the address and was able to locate the owner's name.
"It was a couple hours of Internet research, but I found her (the horse owner) ... all the stars lined up and I was able to get a hold of her," Tate said.
Attempting to be diplomatic, Tate told the woman, "I understand that you have some horses that you need help with. I'm willing to help, we have folks willing to help you." Tate said the woman immediately started crying -- divorce and job loss created such a hardship she could barely provide for her children.
"It sounded like she just waited too long to get help for him because he was really in an emaciated state," Tate said of the horse, "so I went up and she let me take him. I brought (Cody) home."
Road to recovery
Even before heading north to rescue Cody, Tate knew she should give her veterinarian a heads-up.
"She pre-warned me," Brentwood veterinarian Renee Golenz said. "And I pre-warned (her) about the challenges of rehabbing a starved horse."
Through the years, Golenz said that she has worked with several good-hearted people like Tate who take on rehabilitating horses that have been starved.
"But if it's not done slowly, it is the easiest way to inadvertently kill him with kindness," Golenz said. "It is so tempting to give them everything they want to eat, but you can't do that because you will get them very sick."
"That was a term I heard a lot, 'killing them with kindness,' " said Tate, who received lots of advice from friends.
Golenz also warned Tate about getting attached to the horse.
"He's like a walking time bomb. At any given moment he could get really sick and possibly die," she said. "It's so hard not to get attached -- that's why I was trying to give her a tough love lecture."
Tate responded, "I understood what she was doing, but my mind was made up, I wasn't going to leave that horse up there."
It was less than 24 hours after arriving in Brentwood that Cody received his initial veterinarian visit.
Golenz said, "From the veterinary point of view, he should be 1,100 pounds and he was about 750 to 800 pounds. He was greatly underweight."
On a scale of 1 to 10, Golenz gave Cody a 1.5, explaining that "1 is skin and bones and 10 is fat just dripping off the body -- obese/ He was basically skin and bones with just a little bit of muscle."
After a thorough exam, it was determined that Cody's emaciation was from improper nutrition, dental neglect and parasites. But before they could treat any of that they needed to put weight back on him using a slow-feed program.
"A horse like him should be eating about 20-24 pounds a day," Golenz said. "But you can't start out with that, so we started at 3 pounds a day and just gradually, every five days, would build it up."
"This process was relatively fast," Tate said. "He started putting on weight right away; he started looking healthier right away."
They also started him on a probiotic supplement to help protect and support the micro-organisms within his own digestive system. Within a month, Cody was eating up to 12 pounds a day and was ready to be vaccinated and dewormed.
Like the slow-feed process, since Cody was "loaded" with tapeworm and large strongyles they were going to have to proceed with a slow-kill process.
Golenz explained, "If we were to give him the whole tube of wormer, all those parasites could die at once, which could predispose him to a bad impaction-type colic, a blockage inside his body with a bunch of dead parasites."
"I felt really bad for him," said Tate. "I did have moments when I went out there just looking at him and brushing him and apologizing to him that that had happened to him. I felt so bad."
The final work they did on Cody was dental work. Golenz said, "He had sores on the inside of his cheeks because the teeth were so sharp that they cut the insides of his cheeks."
It has been five months since Tate first brought Cody home and she said it was worth it all.
She said, "He's king of the hill out there and he's healthy. He was worth it. He was worth the time and effort."

GENEVA (6 March 2013) – United Nations independent expert Raquel Rolnik, today urged the World Bank to take into account all aspects of the right to adequate housing when revising its safeguard policies. The Bank is currently undergoing a two-year consultative process to review and update its environmental and social safeguard policies.
"As Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing, I have witnessed the crucial impact the safeguards policies have on the right to adequate housing of people affected by Bank-financed projects," Ms. Rolnik told the Human Rights Council during the presentation of a comprehensive report* on the compatibility of the current World Bank's safeguards system with the right to adequate housing.
"When safeguards fail to address crucial aspects of the right to adequate housing, or are not adhered to in design or implementation, projects may result in forced evictions, displacement, involuntary resettlement and a general deterioration in standards of living of communities," she noted. "At any given time, involuntary resettlement triggered by active Bank-financed projects affects over 1 million people, two-fifths of which are likely to be physically displaced."
Ms. Rolnik commended the Bank for being the first international financial institution to develop a safeguard on involuntary resettlement, which later served as a model to other international and regional financial institutions.
In light of the Bank's current review of safeguards, the independent human rights expert focused her mission report to the World Bank on these issues, and also submitted her suggestions and recommendations to the review process.
The Special Rapporteur welcomed the commitment by World Bank President, Jim Yong Kim, at the October 2012 Annual General Meeting in Tokyo not to dilute the Bank's safeguard policies in the review process. However, Ms. Rolnik called on the World Bank to take a bolder stand, and to seize this opportunity to raise the bar of protection and bring its safeguard policies into line with international human rights standards and obligations in a comprehensive manner.In her report, the Special Rapporteur makes a number of suggestions on ways in which the Bank's current policy and practice with regard to involuntary resettlements could be improved, such as a more robust commitment to participation and the inclusion of independent assistance for affected communities.
She also recommends that impact assessments on the right to adequate housing should be in place prior, during and after the implementation of new financing instruments such as Development Policy Loans and Program for Results Financing and better linkages should be in place between analysis and operations design.
Ms. Raquel Rolnik (Brazil) was appointed as Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living, and on the right to non-discrimination in this context by the UN Human Rights Council in May 2008. Ms. Rolnik is an architect and urban planner with extensive experience in the area of housing and urban policies. Learn more, visit: http://www2.ohchr.org/english/issues/housing/index.htm

Any link between vaccines and autism? Put this issue to rest once and for all, one way or the other?
"Got Questions?" is a new weekly feature on our blog to address the desire for scientific understanding in our community. We received over 3000 responses when we asked what science questions were on your mind. We answered a few here and the Autism Speaks Science staff will address the other themes we received in this weekly post.
We really wish it were that simple. Several epidemiological studies have explored whether either the MMR vaccine or thimerosol, a preservative previously used in vaccines, are linked to autism, and these studies have not supported a link. However, these studies were not designed to identify effects in a small population of potentially vulnerable children due to rare genetic and/or medical conditions. We are seeking to understand if vulnerable populations exist, and if so, how we identify them early so they can be protected from public health threats in the safest manner possible. For more information please see our vaccine statement and an interview with Dr. Geraldine Dawson, Autism Speaks' Chief Science Officer, about vaccines and autism.
December 21, 2010 at 6:34 pm
One can say that the MMR vaccine and that thimerosal in vaccines did not cause an autism epidemic. One can say, clearly, from the studies available that the rise in autism prevalence is not due to these causes. Why not include that in this post?
The Autism Speaks statement says it "These epidemiologic studies provide evidence against the hypothesis that either the MMR vaccine or thimerosal is linked to the increased prevalence of autism. "
"So, the answer to the question is that, given what the scientific literature tells us today, there is no evidence that thimerosal or the MMR vaccine cause autism. Evidence does not support the theory that vaccines are causing an autism epidemic"
Why not say it clearly and simply in this post?
December 21, 2010 at 10:33 pm
Matt until you have taken a perfectly normal toddler to a pediatrician visit so he could be timely vaccinated and then witness your child have febrile seizures hours later you just cannot pass judgement on the reality of averse vaccination responses resulting in autism.
Mine is an incredibly common story. My son did not have autism and then he did, it is that simple. Like many ASD families we have a history of autoimmune diseases that made my toddler a sitting duck to adverse reactions to multiple vaccines- his body began attacking itself. First we had the febrile seizures, then stiffness in my arms, sudden refusal to breast feed, diarrhea, fevers again….All this happened the day of, the day after, 2 days after…his vaccinations. His body simply could not tolerate such a challenge to his developing immune system.
Shortly after that his speech started disappearing, he lost his ability to clim stairs, to sleep to control his bowels, etc…
I think AS' statement gives the impression that it is a tiny segment of the ASD population who experienced adverse reactions- if only! thereby creating a false sense of safety. We need our immunization schedule to be safe for all children and administered with safety, rather than covenience, as the #1 priority.
December 22, 2010 at 12:37 pm
could you point out where I "passed judgment" on you or anyone? I don't believe I have. Just like I don't believe you have passed judgment on me, even though you are making claims about my experiences without any knowledge to base your opinions upon.
You might want to reread Geraldine's statement. She doesn't say there *is* a subgroup, she says that *if* there is a subgroup that group is very small.
December 22, 2010 at 1:09 pm
Well said, Katie. I, too, KNOW my son was taken from us by his vaccines. I saw him disappear in direct correlation to the timing of his multiple stabs on his one-year birthday. I followed my doctors' recommendations for vaccination. I did what I was supposed to do and poisoned my child. I never thought to question those who "knew what was best for my son." Guess what? I'll never stop screaming from the mountain tops what happened to my son. That said, all children should be vaccinated. BUT, it should be done on a schedule that is far less aggressive and destructive to thier immune systems. Bottom line: more studies are necessary to detect this very vulnerable population.
December 22, 2010 at 3:40 pm
I think there is evidence that vulnerable populations do exist. This population needs to be studied more in consultation with mito experts like Dr. Richard Haas, Mitochondrial expert from UC San Diego.
See this article http://www.mitoaction.org/autism
Autism and Mitochondrial Disease
by Dr. Richard Haas, Mitochondrial Expert UC San Diego
An Excerpt:
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as defined by the revised Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: DSM IVTR criteria (American Psychiatric Association [2000] Washington, DC: American Psychiatric Publishing) as impairment before the age of 3 in language development and socialization with the development of repetitive behaviors, appears to be increased in incidence and prevalence. Similarly, mitochondrial disorders are increasingly recognized. Although overlap between these disorders is to be expected, accumulating clinical, genetic, and biochemical evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction in ASD is more commonly seen than expected. Some patients with ASD phenotypes clearly have genetic-based primary mitochondrial disease. This review will examine the data linking autism and mitochondria.
December 23, 2010 at 11:53 am
Why do they always cite MMR and thimerosal? Where are the independent studies on the safety of the CDC vaccine schedule? Where are the studies on senstive populations such as kids with a family history of automimmune or neuropsychiatric disoorders (which also immune related) ..these a red flags that the child may have an immune senstivity.
Why not study the Somali population in Minnesota.. with a 1 in 28 autism rate the MN Somlais are a prime candidate for a study
May 22, 2011 at 3:44 pm
I'm with you Katie
My wife and I have a 12 year old son that met all of the bench marks up until
he was about 16 months old … Started crawling, walking with his hands and feet
so fast that I had a hard time keeping up, running so fast that I
had a very hard time catching him , talking especially calling his Nana by her name , socially interacting with us and then he started to slip away …
Now he has gone from being very coordinated to walking with an ungainly walk and with a whole bunch of speech therapy to finally starting to talk in whole sentences after being main streamed since 3rd grade in a small school …
We've battled his digestive, sleep and skin disorders …..
He received a hep B vaccination the day he was born as a slightly underweight
boy …
He also received his regularly scheduled shots along the way…
We didn't want him to get his shots until he was older and really didn't
see the need for the hep B but our pediatrician talked us into getting
that shot on the day he was born and the other shots along the way …
Now we'll always wonder IF ……..
If it wasn't the shots ….
What caused it?
Neither my wife or I have any near relatives with autism …
IF it's brought on by something in the environment …
Having relatives that were autistic wouldn't matter anyways .
We've always suspected it was the vaccines …
We heard on Fox news that there were some pay outs being made …
That reaffirms that suspicion !
May 22, 2011 at 3:53 pm
My wife found a study that linked the hep B shot with the onset of autism , SIDS, etc. …
This could be a poorly researched source or they could be correct …
I don't have the expertise to know for sure …
Either way I just wish that there was viable treatments right now …
It's pains me to see my son be autistic although I wouldn't trade him for the world !

Great American Home show draws crowds
February 10, 2013
PARKERSBURG — The second day of the 2013 Great American Home Show was busy as a crowd browsed various wares for home building and improvement as well as art and craft items....
It was a whole lot of nothing if you ask me. Looks like most have dropped out of the show. I think they may have had a good turnout, but there's that many people that experienced the nothingness. Next time fix the doors so people can get in without injuring themselves.

Part 3 in a series by guest blogger Sarah Gold.
Now that you know what to eat before your long run (and have hopefully been practicing), it's important to figure out your fueling plan for during the race. When exercising for more than 60-90 minutes, it's important to consume quickly absorbing carbohydrates to keep your blood sugar and energy levels stable throughout your run. Here are some recommendations on what and when to consume during long runs and race day.
How much to consume?
The amount of carbohydrates needed will vary from person to person (body size, speed, intensity, and training will all effect this), but aim for between 150-250 calories of carbohydrates per hour. This can be from a mix of sports drinks like Gatorade and food like Gu, candy, or dried fruit.
What to consume?
The goal is to consume food that is primarily made up of carbohydrates. When running for many hours, such as during the marathon, you will want to vary your food choices to keep you from getting tired of eating the same thing for 4+ hours. It's easy to get through a half marathon relying only on Gu, candy, or dried fruit, but it's difficult to keep that up for twice the time. You're likely to get "sugared out," meaning your taste buds or stomach may not tolerate the same food for that many hours. Varying both flavor and texture can help you get through the race without feeling like you can't eat as much as your body needs. So, try out a few different options during your longer training runs to see what your stomach and GI tract tolerate and what gives your body the most energy.
Engineered vs. Real Food
The big advantage to engineered food such as Gu, Chomps, Sport Beans, and the like, is convenience. Most come in pre-packaged 100-calorie servings, and they are easy to carry with you. However, real food can work just as well, particularly for slower marathoners who will be pounding the pavement for more than four hours. Here are some common choices among runners:
- Raisins,dates, dried cranberries—or any dried fruit
- Swedishfish, jelly beans, gummy bears, or other chewy candy
- Pretzels
- Driedcereal
- Minipeanut butter and jelly (or honey) sandwiches*
- Banana(with peanut butter or other nut butter)*
* If you choose foods that aren't convenient to carry inyour pocket, ask friends or family to stand along your race-day route at pointswhen you know you will need fuel.
If you drink Gatorade or other sports drinks, remember that this contributes to your carbohydrate intake. Just pay attention to how much you are consuming so you can adjust your food intake. Diluted fruit juice can work well for some too.
When to consume?
Your breakfast will likely get you through the first hour to hour and a half of the race. So, most runners like to start consuming carbohydrates whether it's from a sports drink or food beginning at 45 minutes to an hour into the race. But, pay attention to how you feel during your long training runs to figure out when is a good time for you to start fueling. Some runners choose to start slightly earlier or later. Earlier signs of hunger (or fuel needs) include thinking about food, reduced energy, or tired legs.
As noted above, plan to consumer 150-250 calories per hour.You can spread this out over 15-30 minute intervals, and mix it up between drinks and food.
Remember that it's important to test this out during your long training runs to avoid any race-day surprises!
What's your favorite fuel during your long runs?

Is It Time to Grant Nonhuman Animals "Human Rights"?
Crows in American cities drop tough nuts onto heavily trafficked streets and then wait for cars to crush them open so that they can get the food inside. Prairie dogs use a sophisticated, complex language; and coyotes and badgers work together to catch prey. It seems as though every day we learn more and more about the high intelligence of nonhuman animals.
Of course, when it comes to mental agility, most of us would list primates, elephants and cetaceans (such as dolphins and whales) at the top of the list. If we are finally starting to recognize the intellect of nonhuman animals, is it time that we extend to them some of the rights that we humans enjoy?

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Monday, Feb. 11, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A baby and his family need your help after a fire.
Sadly, little John Thompson is not doing very well. The 3 year-old is still on a respirator and in critical condition. The family says they need a lot of help, but they say what they need most are prayers.
"Should he survive, he will never be the same little John that we once knew," said James Cato, uncle of the toddler.
The baby survived the house fire. However, the toddler isn't the only one who escaped. Sandra Cato, 62, also survived, but her son, James, says she's still trying to grasp what happened.
"I don't think she's fully aware of what's going on. She's taking it pretty hard. She doesn't care about the house, she's just focused on the baby," Cato said.
The 3 year-old suffered smoke inhalation and went 28 minutes without oxygen. Doctors have the toddler on medicine to help his heart beat and they are still trying to determine the extent of his brain damage, but despite all this bad news, Cato is still positive.
"I'm thankful there's still hope for little John," he said.
The fire started in the kitchen, quickly consuming the house. The flames were closing in on baby John's room when a firefighter pulled him out.. The family says a quick-thinking relative jumped out of this window and then used this hose to fight the fire. It all happened fast.
"It takes just a matter of minutes. Thirteen minutes and this house was completely destroyed. Thirteen minutes," Cato said.
Sandra Cato owns the house, but she did not have homeowners' insurance. Her son says she left with what she had on. They have set up the Cato Family Recovery Fund and anyone can make a donation at any Regions Bank, but again, if you can't give, the family says to please pray for them and especially baby John.

Woody Allen Responds to Allegations of Child Molestation
In the wake of 28-year-old Dylan Farrow accusing her father Woody Allen of sexually assaulting her when she was seven years old, Allen has penned his own opinion piece for the New York Times rebutting the allegations.
In a piece titled "Woody Allen Speaks Out," Allen writes "TWENTY-ONE years ago, when I first heard Mia Farrow had accused me of child molestation, I found the idea so ludicrous I didn't give it a second thought." He goes on to write " The self-serving transparency of her malevolence seemed so obvious I didn't even hire a lawyer to defend myself."
A representative for Mia Farrow didn't return a request for comment.
In 1997 Woody Allen married Soon-Yi, the adopted daughter of Farrow, and the tabloid scandal broke apart the family. In Farrow's child custody suit with Allen, she alleged that Allen had molested the couple's adopted daughter, Dylan, but Allen denied the allegation. In the wake of a tribute to Allen at the 2014 Golden Globes, Mia Farrow and her son with Woody Allen, Ronan Farrow, went on the offensive, tweeting and retweeting allegations that Woody had sexually assaulted Dylan, who recently wrote a piece airing her accusations in the New York Times. Mia Farrow also hinted in an interview that Ronan could be Frank Sinatra's son and not Woody Allen's child.
Moses Farrow, Woody Allen and Mia Farrow's adopted son, told People magazine in a recent interview that Allen "of course" did not molest Moses' younger sister, Dylan Farrow.
More excerpts from Woody Allen's essay:
–"I naïvely thought the accusation would be dismissed out of hand because of course, I hadn't molested Dylan and any rational person would see the ploy for what it was. Common sense would prevail. After all, I was a 56-year-old man who had never before (or after) been accused of child molestation."
–"I pause here for a quick word on the Ronan situation. Is he my son or, as Mia suggests, Frank Sinatra's? Granted, he looks a lot like Frank with the blue eyes and facial features, but if so what does this say? That all during the custody hearing Mia lied under oath and falsely represented Ronan as our son? Even if he is not Frank's, the possibility she raises that he could be, indicates she was secretly intimate with him during our years. Not to mention all the money I paid for child support. Was I supporting Frank's son? Again, I want to call attention to the integrity and honesty of a person who conducts her life like that."
–"Of course, I did not molest Dylan. I loved her and hope one day she will grasp how she has been cheated out of having a loving father and exploited by a mother more interested in her own festering anger than her daughter's well-being. Being taught to hate your father and made to believe he molested you has already taken a psychological toll on this lovely young woman, and Soon-Yi and I are both hoping that one day she will understand who has really made her a victim and reconnect with us, as Moses has, in a loving, productive way.

Woks: Best Woks, Carbon Steel Woks
The distinctive aromas, exquisite freshness, and matchless flavor of traditional Asian cuisines are hard for almost anyone to resist. Whether Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean or others, a common denominator in these magnificent cultures' culinary legacy is the use of a wok in preparing many dishes. Woks provide incredible heat distribution allowing for quick cooking of meats and vegetables to ensure that they retain healthy nutrients, abundant and striking flavors, and precious juices. So whether you're looking for an occasional exotic flair at your dinner table, or are a die-hard oriental-cuisine devotee, Williams-Sonoma has the perfect piece for you. The Williams-Sonoma Professional Nonstick Wok is perfect for stir-frying over high heat or deep frying as well, depending on the occasion. Its 100 percent aluminum construction ensures that food browns quickly and precisely, while the PFOA-free ceramic-titanium nonstick coating allows food to release painlessly without sticking. The result is a sumptuous meal for your family without the hassle of difficult cleanup afterwards. Make food prep simpler as well with a Santoku knife, a great choice for cutting large amounts of meats and fresh vegetables.
For those who need more heat than their household stovetop is capable of putting out, our electric Breville Hot Wok Pro is a convenient solution. It guarantees both rapid heating and precision temperature control of up to 425 degrees Fahrenheit, which is ideal for great stir-fries, hearty soups and stews. For a special look for oriental cuisine, serve in one of our distinctive bowls.
