Cigna Rolls Out Posh Health Plans for Individuals and Small Businesses
As more people fall out of the employer-sponsored health insurance market, more insurers are following them. Cigna is the latest to jump into the market for individual policies and is wooing customers with perks usually reserved for large company health plans.
The bells and whistles include discounts for fitness club memberships, coverage of acupuncture and 24-hour health information lines. Prices can vary, depending on a person's medical history and state rules.
The managed care company is also offering features like these in plans for small businesses, another market that Cigna is a relatively small player in.
Cigna just launched the products in Arizona, Texas and Colorado and plans to introduce them in Tennessee next month. More states are on tap for 2009.
Of the country's five biggest health insurers, Cigna Corp. –- No. 4 -– has the least business with small employers and individuals. Until recently it only sold individual health insurance in states where it was required to in order to set up shop.
Regardless of what direction health care takes under a new president, Cigna executives say the push will help the company go where more of its potential customers are. "We really couldn't do that just being in the large employer market," Andrew Sullivan, a Cigna SVP, told the Health Blog.

Supreme Court Health-Law Ruling Sparks Initial Confusion on Twitter
The Supreme Court Thursday upheld President Barack Obama's health care law, in the court's most highly anticipated decision in years.
In a historical ruling, the court said Congress was acting within its powers under the Constitution when it required most Americans to carry health insurance or pay a penalty — the provision at the center of the two-year legal battle. It upheld the mandate as a tax, in an opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts.
The historical ruling has major political ramifications for this November's election. Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on March 23, 2010.
There was initial confusion over Twitter when conflicting headlines were reported on whether the high court had struck down or upheld the constitutionality of the law, particularly the individual mandate. The Associated Press Tweeted: "BREAKING: Supreme Court upholds Obama law's requirement that most Americans have health insurance." while CNN Breaking News Tweeted "Supreme Court strikes down individual mandate portion of health care law." (CNN Breaking News later issued another Tweet: "Correction: The Supreme Court backs all parts of President Obama's health care law.")
CNN has issued a statement: "In his opinion, Chief Justice Roberts initially said that the individual mandate was not a valid exercise of Congressional power under the Commerce Clause. CNN reported that fact, but then wrongly reported that therefore the court struck down the mandate as unconstitutional. However, that was not the whole of the Court's ruling. CNN regrets that it didn't wait to report out the full and complete opinion regarding the mandate. We made a correction within a few minutes and apologize for the error."
Amid the initial confusion, there were Tweets by others such as "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN" and "Not Twitter's finest moment here." After the results became clearer, some notables took to Twitter to give early reactions:
Damon Lindelof, Screenwriter: "I am not turning off CNN until they TELL ME GORE WON FLORIDA!!!"
Alec Baldwin, Actor: "SCOTUS ObamaCare decision: Even a broken clock…….."
Questlove of The Roots: "Lol my boy was like "aight let's celebrate! we goin to hospital!!!""
Melissa Harris-Perry, MSNBC host and Tulane Professor, wrote: "Well it's history. President Obama is the first president to successfully, constitutionally pass landmark health care reform."
John Fugelsang, Actor and comedian: Chief Justice John Roberts upholds #Obamacare & millions of GOPs finally decide there's a reason to blame Bush.

"Good Germans and Good Jews"
Jewish Soldiers in World War I
The First World War broke out 90 years ago. The Jewish Museum Berlin is commemorating this anniversary with a cabinet exhibition on the experiences and memories of Jewish soldiers. Like most German men, Jewish soldiers were full of enthusiasm for their fatherland when they went to battle. The exhibition, which makes use of a rich array of objects from the museum's archives, focuses on different aspects of wartime existence: life at the front, camaraderie, anti-Semitic prejudices, the never-ending bureaucracy, encounters with Jews from Eastern Europe, injury and death. Photos, postcards, war diaries and personal objects tell the stories of wartime life.

Should the presence of a cable modem prevent using a dial-up modem and phone
line for faxing out of 3.2a?
The dial-up modem is on COM 2.
I have both version 3.2a and 4.20 running on Win 98. My internet access is by
cable, so it has been a year since I have had to use my conventional modem. I
moved just before starting to use the cable modem. Then 3 months ago I had
some trouble with my C drive so a professional tech swapped C drive with D
drive. And everything has worked fine since then.
Since then I have decided I want to use the enabled FAX-send feature of 3.2a.
So I connected the conventional modem to the phone jack. .
4.20 showed, correctly, that COM 1 and COM 3 are both on IRQ 4, although they
used different addresses: O3F8-03FF for 1 and O3E8-O3EF for 3. But 3.2a would
not let me select 1 or 3 on any interrupt. I tried copying 3.2 from the present
D drive to the new C drive, but that did not make any difference. But 4.20
showed the COM ports from the C drive as well as from the D drive.
Since then I have run Turbocom and set up a virtual Com4 on IRQ 3. But when I
try to use FAX Receive, it drops down to Win98 and gives me the message that
another device is using the port. But the only thing on the port is the dial-up
What is likely happening?
Any suggestions or work around?

Windows 8 Doesn't Play Nicely With Others
All the tech world loves a conspiracy, especially when it involves Microsoft, and a suggestion has been circulating that it was using its muscle to block its open-source competitor Linux with the launch of Windows 8.
Concerns have focused on a feature, included in the Windows 8 hardware specification, called "UEFI Secure Boot". The idea is this checks a series of digital signatures to ensure that no malicious programs are launched after the computer is switched on. A version of Linux without the appropriate signature could not run on a computer with secure boot enabled.
Ars Technica provides a detailed explanation of the firmware's operation and an analysis of its impact. It points out that part of the Windows 8 hardware specification is that it must allow users to install their own certificates. These could be provided by a Linux vendor. Users can also switch off secure boot or instruct the computer drop back to mimicking the current BIOS system.
This combination of options should settle most concerns that were raised when news of the secure boot requirement first broke. On x86 systems, Windows 8 stands as no impediment to using non-Windows operating systems. Indeed, Microsoft's rules ensure that vendors will make it possible to securely boot operating systems other than Windows: system builders will have no choice but to allow system owners to install their own certificates.
But that is not the end of the story.
Windows 8 when it launches will be the first operating system from Microsoft to support ARM processors which are used in virtually all tablet computers and smartphones.
The ARM systems will all require the use of a signed operating system loader, and that operating system loader must be signed by Microsoft.
Microsoft's rules also specify that a secure boot failure must be fatal; there must be no option to override the failure and choose to boot the untrusted operating system.
Further, manufacturers will be prohibited from shipping updates to their firmware that relax these restrictions; all firmware updates must be protected with digital signatures and must preserve the secure boot settings. They should also prevent the installation of older firmware versions—for example, downgrading the firmware to switch to a version with a known security flaw—though the manufacturer can allow this particular constraint to be manually overridden.
So an ARM-powered device will run Windows and nothing else. It is, as Ars Technica points out, far from a unique situation. The iPad and a number of other tablets are locked already.
Ars Technica concludes:
Even if Microsoft's position doesn't change, the impact its rules will have may prove to be negligible in practice. x86 hardware will retain all the freedom and flexibility that users of alternative operating systems need. Unlocked ARM hardware is also going to continue to be widely available; it'll just come with Android rather than Windows.
Given Android's much greater strength in the tablet market, it's all but inevitable that Windows 8-only hardware will be a minority. Microsoft doesn't have the market dominance to take away everyone's ability to use alternative operating systems.
If every future PC and tablet were restricted so that it could only boot a Microsoft operating system, there would indeed be the end of the world as we know it; it would fundamentally alter the nature of the PC, converting it from the supremely flexible device that it is into a well-decorated prison cell.
As it is, it will simply be a choice that buyers have to make for themselves. There will be options that are locked down, including the iPad and Windows 8 ARM tablets. There will be options that are not. The decision as to which is more important—freedom or reliability—will lie with the user.
Ars Technica: Windows 8′s locked bootloaders: much ado about nothing, or the end of the world as we know it?

Thirty years ago, inflation was running at a high of 13.6 percent. The Federal Reserve had to adopt aggressive measures to tighten monetary policy and fight inflation. The Fed tightened money supply and the target Fed Funds rate rose to 20 percent. The economy took a downturn and two recessions quickly followed the Fed's actions (from January 1980 to July 1980 and from July 1981 to November 1982). Currently, our economy is experiencing yet another scenario where the Fed must take extreme action in monetary policy. However, this time around, the conditions are not quite the same.

This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison
by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Analysis: Speaker
The speaker of this poem is an interesting mix of maturity and immaturity. How else can we describe someone who compares a garden where he has to spend a few hours by himself to a "prison," who worries melodramatically that his friends might never return, but who then selflessly tries to spur on a fantastic sunset for the benefit of his buddy Charles. Our speaker is very protective of his friends, but he hates to be apart from them.
One of the speaker's most admirable qualities is his sensitivity to pain and hardship. The poem is addressed to Charles Lamb, and once you learn the back story about the "strange calamity" when Charles's sister killed their mother during a mental breakdown, it's hard to avoid interpreting the speaker's wise, gentle, and reassuring tone except in light of this story. He's like that really nice uncle who wants to take his nephew out to a ball game to take his mind off bad stuff at home or at school.
There are plenty of interesting things going on with the speaker aside from Charles Lamb. For example, plants. The speaker knows a lot about plants and is able to rattle off the names of different trees and shrubs in the area. He would also make a great nature guide with his memory for natural places he has been. He knows exactly where his friends will have to cross the stream across a fallen tree trunk, and he vividly imagines the appearance of the weeds that "nod and drip" on the bank.
One question raised by the poem is whether the speaker has it out for organized religion. When he compares the hills the church steeples and notes that the "Almighty Spirit" of God is hidden within nature, you could be forgiven for thinking that he believes God is nature. More on that topic in the "Calling Card" section.

Dude can you please say it in a normal font.
I can read it but other people may not.
I would say do lots of bunny hops, squats, squat jumps.
And situps for the sixpack.

haha thanks.. and sorry for the font
6-pack - nutrition is most important. Lifting weights and playing hoops/doing conditioning work will also help. But the old saying holds true here; "you can't out-train a poor diet."
Jumping - as is usually the answer, "it depends." How old are you? Do you have any weight training experience? Let me know that and I'll see if I can't point in you in the right direction...
Danny McLarty, Performance Coach
I am 15 and yes i have expeirience with weight training
1st - review the article I wrote for ihoops called "Basketball Strength Training For Newbies." For most 15 years, this is a great place to start. Once you have TRULY mastered the exercises (meaning PERFECT form, AND using FULL range of motion) that I include in the article, then you can start to add weight to the bar.
Getting stronger in lifts such as squats, deadlifts, lunge variations, chin-ups, push-ups/bench press variations etc will go far into increasing your vertical. Plyos can help, but in my experience, most b-ball players already play way too much full court b-ball and don't spend enough time in the weight room. Remember, each time you play hoops, you are getting plyos in. But, if you are smart, and limit your full court playing, and instead put in a good amount of time on working on your skills (just going out and working on your dribbling and shooting) and put ~3 days per week in, in the weight room, some plyos may help.
Make sure to spend the majority (or better yet, ALL) of your time using free weights (dumbbells and barbells) rather than machines.
Danny McLarty, Performance Coach
alright thanks

Grades 11-12
Speaking and Listening SL.11-12.3
SL.11-12.3. Evaluate a speaker's point of view, reasoning, and use of evidence and rhetoric, assessing the stance, premises, links among ideas, word choice, points of emphasis and tone used.
Listening to speeches can be a real pleasure. They might be informative or persuasive or entertaining or descriptive. And, just like a good essay, a good speech is easy to follow because of its connections to the past, transitions between passages, and memorable word choice. The use of logos, ethos, and pathos form the argument for the speaker's position on a topic. As listeners, students must be able to recognize these strategies, and how they are effective in developing and strengthening the message, moving us to action. The ability to synthesize information is a very liberating skill.
Here's an assignment that will help your students practice this. They will realize that effective speeches rely on a combination of reasoning strategies, logos, ethos, and pathos. Also important is the speaker's use of a variety of literary devices, such as allusion and metaphor, to connect and compare the past to the present. Tone is a window into the attitude of the speaker toward his subject. Understanding the fusion of these elements is key in students' ability to evaluate the effectiveness of a speech.

Sample Assignment: Have your students read or listen to Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech and ask them to analyze its effectiveness.
The speech was given to attendees at the March on Washington in August 1963. This was a demonstration of about 200-300,000 people, of whom about 75-80% were African Americans. The purpose of the speech was to call attention to the discrimination experienced by black Americans. A call to action was made, asking that all Americans be afforded their Constitutional rights -- that is, to pursue "life, liberty and happiness." The speech? The famous "I Have a Dream" address given by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Written from an African American viewpoint, the speech often uses allusion; that is, King refers to people, documents, and events of the past that connect with his present argument. These include "five score years ago, a great American…" in reference to Abraham Lincoln; " "the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence" in reference to founding ideals; and "old Negro spiritual" in reference to freedom from slavery.
The speech often uses metaphor: King compares the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation as a "great beacon of hope"; "this sweltering summer" as a time of great discontent; "an invigorating autumn" as a time marking freedom; and "beautiful symphony of brotherhood" as the splendor of all men working together as one. King also uses an extended analogy as he compares the promises of freedom to a bank check. He uses the following phrases: promissory note, heir, insufficient funds, bank of justice is bankrupt, and security of justice in his comparisons. These words imply that something is owed. A debt must be paid.
King uses repetition effectively. In this order, he repeats the words and phrases: one hundred years later, now, we can never be satisfied, I have a dream, and Let freedom ring. You'll notice that, when put together, it forms the theme of the speech itself. King's word choice contains key messages. References to freedom are described as: joyous, riches, security, sunlit path, lift, solid, warm, rolls, righteousness. Restraints are described as: seared, crippled, lonely, languishing, exile, shameful, dark and desolate, quick sands. Through these words, he creates tone, or speaker's attitude toward the subject. It's clear that King places a high value on freedom but discredits discrimination and racism. Right on!
The speech contains solid proof of King's claim, or premise, that blacks are subject to discrimination. He lists several harsh and unfair realities: police brutality, discrimination at businesses, restricted mobility, lack of voting privileges, and unheard voice. He points to the South, to states such as Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina, as particularly prohibitive. Thus, he uses logic in his argument. He also uses pathos when he describes "Negro slaves who had been seared in flames of withering injustice," and ethos when he says white America is responsible for a "shameful condition."
King offers convincing evidence to support his stance. You're a believer!

Swirls of intense green covered the Baltic Sea in late July, 2014, marking an explosive start to the late summer phytoplankton bloom. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA�s Terra satellite captured this true-color image on July 22 as it passed over the Baltic Sea.
The color of the green in the bloom matches the green vegetation on shore, although the color lightens and becomes infused with milky white in the southern Baltic Sea. The bloom stretches from Sweden (west) to Estonia (east) and from Finland (north) to Poland (south).
Phytoplankton are plant-like organisms which form the base of the marine food chain. They live in the Baltic Sea year-round, but when temperature, nutrients and light are balanced favorably, phytoplankton can experience explosive reproduction and create massive blooms which can be seen from space. Such blooms in the Baltic Sea typically occur twice a year � once in spring, and once in late summer.

Sensitivity of a global model to the uptake of N2O5 by tropospheric aerosol
- DOI: 10.5194/acp-10-7409-2010
The uptake of N2O5 on aerosol impacts atmospheric concentrations of NOx and so O-3, OH, and hence CH4. Laboratory studies show significant variation in the rate of uptake, with a general decline in the value of gamma(N2O5) over the last decade as increasingly relevant tropospheric proxies have been studied. In order to understand the implication of this decline for tropospheric composition, a global model of tropospheric chemistry and transport (GEOS-Chem) is run with differing values of gamma(N2O5) (0.0, 10(-6), 10(-4), 10(-3), 5 x 10(-3), 10(-2), 2 x 10(-2), 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0). We identify three regimes in the model response. At low values of gamma(N2O5), the model shows reduced sensitivity to the value of gamma(N2O5) as heterogeneous uptake of N2O5 does not provide a significant pathway to perturb NOx burdens. At high values of gamma(N2O5) the model again shows reduced sensitivity to the value of gamma(N2O5), as NOx loss through heterogeneous removal of N2O5 is limited by the rate of production of NO3, rather than the rate of heterogeneous uptake. At intermediate values of gamma(N2O5) the model shows significant sensitivity to the value of gamma(N2O5). We find regional differences in the model's response to changing gamma(N2O5). Regions with high aerosol surface area and low temperatures show NO3 production becoming rate limiting at lower gamma(N2O5) values than regions with lower aerosol surface area and higher temperatures. The northern extra-tropics show significant sensitivity to the value of gamma(N2O5) at values consistent with current literature (0.001-0.02), thus an accurate description of gamma(N2O5) is required for adequate simulation of O-3 burdens and long-range transport of pollutants in this region. Our model simulations also provide insight into the sensitivity of coupled chemistry-aerosol simulations to the choice of gamma(N2O5). We find little change in the global sensitivity of NOx, O-3 and OH to gamma(N2O5) in the range 0.05 to 1.0, but a significant drop in sensitivity below this range. Thus simulations of the coupled impact of both chemistry and aerosol changes through time will be sensitive to the choice of gamma(N2O5).

Wellesley College
|Marty Kaplan (1986–?; divorced; 2 children)
Susan Estrich (born December 16, 1952) is an American lawyer, professor, author, political operative, political commentator, and feminist advocate.[1]
Early life[edit]
Estrich was born in Lynn, Massachusetts,[2] and grew up in Marblehead on the Massachusetts North Shore, where she attended the Dr Samuel C Eveleth School.[3]
Estrich graduated from Wellesley College in 1974, and received her J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1977.[4] In 1976, Estrich was elected the first female president/editor-in-chief of the Harvard Law Review, where she ran against Merrick Garland.[5][6]
Estrich served as a law clerk for Judge J. Skelly Wright of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and Justice John Paul Stevens of the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1988, she was the campaign manager for Michael Dukakis' 1988 presidential run, even though she had never before managed a political campaign. She was the first female campaign manager of a major presidential campaign, and the first female campaign manager of the modern era.[7][8]
Estrich appears frequently on Fox News as a legal and political analyst, and has also substituted for Alan Colmes on the debate show Hannity & Colmes. She writes regular articles for the conservative website NewsMax, for which she is a pundit.[9] She is also on the Board of Editorial Contributors for USA Today.[10] She is currently a law professor at the University of Southern California Law School and a political science professor at its affiliated undergraduate school. Before joining the USC faculty in 1989, she was Professor of Law at Harvard University, where she was the youngest woman to receive tenure.[11] On January 10, 2008, Estrich joined Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP, a law firm based in Los Angeles, where she chairs their Public Strategy in High Profile Litigation: Media Relations practice area.[12][13] She writes a nationally syndicated print column distributed through Creators Syndicate.[14]
In several of her books, including Sex & Power and The Case for Hillary Clinton, Estrich discusses her experience as a survivor of rape. Her book Real Rape talks about the history of rape law in the United States. In 2004, Estrich challenged Los Angeles Times editorial page editor Michael Kinsley for under-representing women on the editorial page.[15][16]
Estrich was very outspoken during the 2008 presidential race, particularly on the subject of women in politics in light of the candidacies of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. Estrich supported Clinton in the Democratic primaries,[17] but was strongly critical of Palin.[18]
Estrich and the former American Civil Liberties Union president in Massachusetts, Harvey A. Silverglate, joined attorneys representing two alleged Boston al-Qaeda funders, Emadeddin Z. Muntasser and Muhammed Mubayyid who were indicted on May 11, 2005 for lying about the true nature of their organization and their charitable, tax-exempt activities. In their Oct. 5 2006 motion for dismissal, attorneys Mrs. Estrich, Malick Ghachem, Norman Zalkind and Elizabeth Lunt, argued that the defendants merely exercised their religious freedom and obligation to give "zakat" (Islamic charity). Their motion cites Chapter 9, verse 60 of the Koran, which describes "those entitled to receive zakat."
Personal life[edit]
In 1986, Estrich married screenwriter, professor and former speechwriter Marty Kaplan, with whom she has a daughter, Isabel, and a son, James. They have since divorced.[19] She is Jewish, having celebrated becoming a Bat Mitzvah at Temple Israel in Swampscott, Massachusetts, and has written about her religion in her column.[20]

Multiple, Big Prizes plus PUBLICATION. Every entry wins Gift Points. JULY Prompt up!
This is the Detailed Writing Prompt Comp.
At competition's beginning, I will post a detailed writing prompt that may feature a choice of characters, setting or plot devices. OR it may be a detailed situation prompt. The rest will be up to you.
Your entry can be a vignette, a complete story, character profile or descriptive setting.
The word limit is no less then 500 words.
The competition will not close until I have at least two entries. In the case of there being two entries, the competition will not close until the allotted time of 1 month has passed.
You should have at least a month to write this in, so longer pieces are encouraged.
July 2012 WRITING PROMPT
** Image ID #1865827 Unavailable **
JULY'S Detailed Writing Prompt is a good chance to write a mystery. Or maybe a romance. Or even a comedy. Whatever interpretation you choose, it's a great chance for me to read some quality writing.
The Prompt
This months theme is one of perspective and viewpoint. The situation is a rock has been thrown through a window.
- Who threw it?
- Who witnessed it?
- Was it an individual's window or a businesses?
Your job as the author of this event is to decide the answer to these questions, and then tell us in prose.
Some settings for you:
- a window in a spaceship is cracking;
- a bakery window;
- an old granny's window.
Some characters:
- a disgruntled employee,
- a little boy,
- a love rival
- or an out-and-out psychopath.
You don't have to use all of these, you don't have to use any. But, a window must be broken, and those questions must be answered.
and remember, every entry that conforms to the rules will receive 1000 gift points.
For writers this will be an interesting challenge as by it's nature you will have certain elements dictated to you restricting freedom of choice. But on the other hand, that overwhelming sense of "where do I begin." will be missing thus freeing you to WRITE.
For readers and reviewers, it will be a great chance to compare writing styles and structures with similar elements and frameworks.
The prize is 10 000 gift points for the author, a 10000 award icon to the piece of writing, and a great publishing opportunity. Not only do the winners get their winning entry published but they get automatic inclusion of another piece of writing to showcase their non-competition writing skills.
NEW! Win 1000 Gift Points just for entering!
****A yearly Ultimate Champion will be declared, voted on by the members of WDC. The Ultimate Champion will also receive a grand prize; gift points, awardicon, that kind of thing. The amount will depend on donations and my own pool but I am hoping there will be enough for an upgrade for the grand champion. All donaters over 20000 gift points will receive a merit badge.****
By entering you give me permission to reprint your entry in e-book form. All rights are your own.
Winners will also have the opportunity to include one of their favorite pieces of writing in the ebook.
I am very happy to announce that In the event of more then 1 entry being posted
Wyrm will join me as fellow judge, jury and executioner.

The facility also wanted digital workflows that would easily integrate with several different editing and transmission interfaces. Storage scalability was equally important. The services of the CIRIS Dynamic Platform, as the project is named, are offered to a heterogeneous group of customers, each having specific workflow requirements. These customers include public broadcasters, commercial broadcasters and nonbroadcasters with large product video libraries. As a result, the solution needed to be flexible and generic while also being capable of addressing specific customer demands. Silicon Graphics (SGI) Broadcast Europe designed, installed and integrated a complete digital storage and post-production environment for CIRIS.
The first phase of the project implemented the server and storage infrastructure and an asset management system. CIRIS purchased a 30TB SGI InfiniteStorage TP9300S storage array with a 6GB SGI Altix 350 server running Linux. The system includes four Intel Itanium 2 processors and a six-channel SGI media server with an InfiniteStorage array. A Sony PetaSite system is connected to the TP9300S array, allowing CIRIS to scale to 1.5PB of storage capacity.
Ardendo provided its ARDOME media asset management solution and helped the team with custom integration and development. ARDOME uses standard IT technology to enable television program and news producers to pre-edit on the Internet using Ardendo's EasyCut proxy editing system. The company also provided its ingest solutions ARDCAP and DART.
Transmission of the three Dutch public channels is done centrally. The platform uses MXF as a file format for exchanging content between applications and devices from different vendors. When customers are connected to the platform, specific MXF-based workflows are designed and implemented to support specific requirements.
Content produced outside CIRIS can be tape or can be sent directly from the customer as an MXF file using a network connection; all Dutch broadcasters are connected via high bandwidth network.
Content is stored on various devices, from high-speed disks to low-cost data tape, in high-resolution format and transcoded to low-resolution browse format. The low-resolution format, in combination with the asset management system, is used for searching and browsing at the facility or the customer location. The finished program can be transferred in the MXF format from CIRIS to the transmission location.

Engineered nanomedicine for myeloma and bone microenvironment targeting.
Department of Medical Oncology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115; firstname.lastname@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com.
Bone is a favorable microenvironment for tumor growth and a frequent destination for metastatic cancer cells. Targeting cancers within the bone marrow remains a crucial oncologic challenge due to issues of drug availability and microenvironment-induced resistance. Herein, we engineered bone-homing polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) for spatiotemporally controlled delivery of therapeutics to bone, which diminish off-target effects and increase local drug concentrations. The NPs consist of poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and bisphosphonate (or alendronate, a targeting ligand). The engineered NPs were formulated by blending varying ratios of the synthesized polymers: PLGA-b-PEG and alendronate-conjugated polymer PLGA-b-PEG-Ald, which ensured long circulation and targeting capabilities, respectively. The bone-binding ability of Ald-PEG-PLGA NPs was investigated by hydroxyapatite binding assays and ex vivo imaging of adherence to bone fragments. In vivo biodistribution of fluorescently labeled NPs showed higher retention, accumulation, and bone homing of targeted Ald-PEG-PLGA NPs, compared with nontargeted PEG-PLGA NPs. A library of bortezomib-loaded NPs (bone-targeted Ald-Bort-NPs and nontargeted Bort-NPs) were developed and screened for optimal physiochemical properties, drug loading, and release profiles. Ald-Bort-NPs were tested for efficacy in mouse models of multiple myeloma (MM). Results demonstrated significantly enhanced survival and decreased tumor burden in mice pretreated with Ald-Bort-NPs versus Ald-Empty-NPs (no drug) or the free drug. We also observed that bortezomib, as a pretreatment regimen, modified the bone microenvironment and enhanced bone strength and volume. Our findings suggest that NP-based anticancer therapies with bone-targeting specificity comprise a clinically relevant method of drug delivery that can inhibit tumor progression in MM.

Beach cleanups are volunteer activities that take place on a regular basis along coastlines around the world. Environmental groups, civic organizations and individual beachgoers collect beach trash to make the beach a nicer, safer place and also to improve the coastal and ocean ecosystem.
Surfrider Foundation chapters have been organizing and conducting beach cleanups on a regular basis for over 20 years. The cleanups have two goals - 1) a clean beach and 2) changing human behavior and creating a "beach ethic" so that beach cleanups eventually become unnecessary. Materials collected at these cleanups range from a distressing number of cigarette butts and small pieces of plastic to plastic bottles and bags to fishing nets. We attempt to separate recyclable material from trash and we also encourage participants to bring their own bags, buckets and gloves to make the events as "green" as possible.
A few examples of our many chapters from around the country that have regular beach cleanup programs include San Diego County, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, in Oregon (Chevelle, foam), Vancouver Island Canada, Kauai, Maui, Rhode Island, Virginia Beach and Central Texas. No special training is required and you don't even have to be a Surfrider member to participate. So contact your local Surfrider chapter and get involved!
Here's a great video on beach cleanups from our San Diego County chapter:
This is a video of the Chevelle debris cleanup in Oregon that is linked above.
Here's an example of an "extreme beach cleanup" by our Vancouver Island chapter. This is part of their Combing the Coast program.
Not to be outdone, Surfrider folks in Washington did beach cleanups with the aid of a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter at Cape Flattery and on the remote Olympic Peninsula coast.

UPDATE BY AMY LONG 9:53pm
Commissioner Bill Proctor says he thinks his District, District one which covers the south side of Tallahassee, was over charged all year for their utilities and now that all the numbers are in he wrote a letter to the City Manager, asking them to refund their money.
Proctor is requesting a rebate of $6 million dollars for all utility customers in District One, based on the $8 million in surplus the city ended up with at the end of the year.
He suggests the City holds a monopoly over utility options with the exception of the Talquin Franchise. Proctor says he wants to see the matter agenda so folks can weigh in, instead of seeing the money be put into reserve.
Commissioner Bill Proctor says, "It's a regressive tax. I want my money back. The people want their money back.It's Christmas. The city is acting like the Grinch who done stole Christmas. And I am saying that we all want our money back. We want a credit to our accounts or we want a rebate of this money."
Michelle Bono, the assistant to the City Manager says electric rates are about 20 percent lower than they were 2 years ago. And says the budget was not right on the dime, the 8 million dollars will go into a reserve so if the city comes up short next year they will have it.
She also points out- had they come up short this year they would not be billing the customers they would go to the reserve. Bono says the city budgeted for 360 million dollars , so the 8 million may sound like a lot but it is 3 percent of the budget.
Tallahassee, FL - Leon County commissioner Bill Proctor issues a letter requesting a rebate for utility customers.
Here is just a portion of what that letter contains: "I request that the entire $8,000,000 be rebated evenly to the customer base
from which this amount was taken. This money should not be confiscated and committed to the City empire's reserve coffers. It belongs to the citizens it was taken from. Do return our money."

Project Glass has inspired its fair share of constructive conversation, not to mention parody. But the latest video to play off of Google's augmented reality project takes the cake and the checkpoint. YouTube user ThereIsACanal used the ideas presented in Google's now-famous concept video and extrapolated to see what "Battlefield 5" could look like when taken into the real world. The results aren't exactly a cinematic masterpiece, but the video does a great job at illustrating the possibilities inherent in augmented reality gaming.
The video starts off innocuously enough: our protagonist casually meets a buddy on the street, recognized via Project Glass' Google Latitude integration. He then hops the fence into an abandoned building complex (with his glasses kindly reminding him that he's breaking the law). When "Battlefield 5" loads up, it generates weapons and BDUs for the player and populates the space with enemy fighters, which can be killed with the virtual rifle the player is holding. Enough talk, just watch the video:
[youtube -sSsRIhVYB4]
This sort of virtual and real-world mesh is a common theme in later science fiction, like Daniel Suarez's novel Daemon. But now that it's technically possible - if not quite to the degree shown in the novel or the video - there are all sorts of questions that arise. How would you incorporate feedback when the elements you see in Project Glass aren't there? How would you control something as complex as a modern shooter without resorting to some kind of tethered controller? What kind of psychological impacts would bringing hyper-violent modern games into actual, physical locations have? It's a fascinating and challenging idea.
There's still very little concrete information available on Project Glass, though Google says it's hoping to use feedback from the concept video and photos to refine the idea. We hope that it becomes a reality somewhere beyond the Google Campus soon - and that industrious designers and developers can take videos like these out of the realm of fantasy.

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
We are doing swell down here at good ol' Strokers Dallas. Please tell the Lord I said thanks for letting summer finally arrive.
It's amazing how much difference the weather makes in my business. Us in the motorcycle industry are dependent on good weather — kinda like you were, Grandpa, when you were farming.
Hey Grandpa, next time you and the Lord are hanging out, maybe buy him a beer and ask him for a favor for me. (That reminds me, do y'all have beer up there? I guess since it's Heaven, ya gotta have beer, right? Do you get to hang out with the Lord, or is he like Beyonce — he only hangs out with a select few high-rollers?
Not saying you're not a high-roller, Grandpa, but I don't think many farmers are considered high-rollers. Actually, I'd like to hang out with Beyonce … that's my idea of Heaven. Anyway, I got carried away there.) Can you please ask the good Lord if he'll do a favor for me? Tell him that if he gives me good weather on Friday, Saturday and Sunday that he can make it rain and snow the other four days and I won't complain one dang bit. As a matter of fact, it's raining here today and it's a Thursday as I write this.
So come on, Lord, make it pour if you want, because the forecast for this weekend is sunny and 90 degrees.
I just got back from our annual "CHUMP" trip in Santa Fe, N.M. I rode my Victory Cross Country. Brother Randy (the big-shot lawyer) rode his Victory Cross Country and Joe T. rode his Victory Vision. My friend Jay rode his H-D Street Glide. The trip was a good test because I just put a 26-inch front wheel on my Cross Country, so I was anxious to see how it handled the trip at extended highway speeds. I was actually shocked at how well it did handle. We've done many 26-inch front wheels on Harley-Davidsons and they handle just fine, but this was our first 26-inch on a Vic.
I swear to you that I could not tell any difference at all between the 26-inch front wheel and the stock front wheel. After 30 miles, I completely forgot about it. We cruised at 85-90 mph and I got the Cross Country up to 120 mph just to test the stability of the front wheel (I know, Grandma; sorry).
Oh yeah, I also got HUGE news. In August, I am being inducted into the Sturgis Motorcycle Hall of Fame, and that's as good as it gets for some lucky chump from Texas like me. It's a very high honor that I never dreamed would someday be bestowed upon a goofball like me. It just literally makes me shake my head that I have been selected to be enshrined in such a prestigious institution.
Maybe they're crazy for putting me in, but I'm proud to accept it. This will be my 27th year in a row attending the Sturgis rally. The first year I went up, Lena was a newborn. This year, Lena is going with me for the first time. I will be the proudest man in the Black Hills. (Continued)

To the Editor The Viewpoint on formulation of statin guidelines by Drs Ridker and Wilson1 may have unintentionally implied to the clinical community that it is acceptable to focus on selected evidence over the totality of the evidence. Ridker and Wilson's example of trial-based recommendations for primary cardiovascular disease prevention includes subgroups identified through only 6 trials; however, a recent Cochrane Collaboration systematic review2 on the effect of statins for primary cardiovascular disease prevention identified 18 trials.

Method Teaching
September 4th, 2007 by Dan Meyer
Method acting is tricky to define but — brusquely put — actors draw on real emotions to project fictional ones. Famously, in Marathon Man for a scene which called Dustin Hoffman to play haggard and worn out, he stayed up for two days to play the part
The idea is that you don't sit in your canvas-backed chair pondering what your character would do in a certain situation; you immerse yourself so deeply into your character, you become the character, essentially, and just react naturally to the situation.
There was a time when I'd sit in front of my computer, the cursor blinking patiently while I tried to find an interesting angle on my lesson. I'd sit and think until I thought of something interesting.
After this last really good year, after this last weekend talking to Mike at a wedding reception, I've decided I am a Method Teacher.
I spent the last year acquainting myself with an RSS reader, becoming interested in several dumptrucks worth of extracurriculars, flagging them towards my front door on daily basis, and cuing them to unload.
I am, lately, an obsessively, compulsively interested person and so my natural inclination is to find an interesting angle on any given topic. I can't help it anymore. More to the point, I can't help sharing it with my students.
This is Method Teaching.

On some level, it speaks to one of the most important gifts we can give to our students — we can show them how much fun it is to really care about the stuff of our lives.
If you find the material and/or the audience inherently interesting, that would be even easier.

Earth Science Division
SGG team at INTEX-B Data Review meeting
Phil Russell, Hanwant Singh, Bob Chatfield, Mike Gaunce, John Livingston, Lenny Pfister, Jim Podolske (SGG) and Jens Redemann (BAER Institute) attended the NASA Intercontinental Chemical Transport Experiment (Phase B) INTEX-B Data Review Meeting, March 6-8, organized by Singh, the INTEX-B mission scientist, and held in Virginia Beach, VA. Russell presented a summary of the elements of a recent MILAGRO-related workshop and he co-lead the breakout session on aerosols and radiation. Redemann presented the data status and preliminary scientific results gathered by the Ames Airborne Tracking Sunphotometer- (AATS-)14 in the INTEX-B campaign. Gaunce presented the site logistics for the 2008 Arctic Research of the Composition of the Troposphere from Aircraft and Satellite (ARCTAS) campaign.
Following the INTEX-B meeting, the future activities meeting organized by HQ Earth Science program managers was held on March 8-9 in the same location to identify major science questions, assess the relevant satellite observations in the 2010 time frame, discuss how suborbital measurements could add value to the satellite data, and define the need for new measurement and modeling capabilities. Gaunce, Russell, and Singh took part in this meeting. Russell co-presented the research area on aerosols, clouds, and radiation. (POC: Warren Gore, 4-5533, firstname.lastname@example.com)
"An Inconvenient Truth" and panel discussion a success
The UC-sponsored showing of the Academy award winning documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," followed by a scientific panel discussion and UC reception was a huge success. The movie was shown at 4:30pm, March 9, in the Ames Conference Center Ballroom. The science panel then took questions from the audience. The panel consisted of Dr. Hector D'Antoni, Dr. Katja Drdla and Dr. Chris McKay, (NASA Ames), and Dr. Mark Jacobson, Dr. Terry Root and Dr. Stephen Schneider (Stanford University). Steve Hipskind (Division Chief, SG) served as panel moderator. Panel participants were still answering questions well past the scheduled conclusion of 7:00PM and had little time to enjoy the reception that ended at 8PM. The conference center staff, on directions from the fire marshal, closed the doors after a little over 300 people had been admitted; many people were turned away. Two members from Representative Mike Honda's local staff, Michael Wang and Chris Schwarz, attended. (POC: Steve Hipskind, 4-5076, email@example.com )
NASA-funded research of evergreen rain forests to be published in PNAS
The March 20 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences will publish the results of a NASA-funded research project that reveals that Amazon forests are neither evergreen nor dependent on constant rain, and are capable of manufacturing their seasons. Rama Nemani (SGE) is a co-author of the work based on satellite images that revealed the amount and dynamics of green leaf area of Amazon rain forests. Nemani was one of 27 researchers from 15 institutions who found that the rain forests sprout new leaves in anticipation of coming dry seasons. This process allows these forests to capture more sunlight, absorb more carbon dioxide, and evaporate more water during the dry season compared to the wet season. By gradually humidifying the atmosphere, the forests play an important role in the onset of the wet season. The work is an important outcome of over10 years of NASA's investments and teamwork to develop, build, and launch state-of-the-art sensors and data processing for discovering previously unknown vegetation dynamics on Earth.

SGG Researchers study of airborne particles' affect on climate change published in JGR
Jens Redemann (BAER Institute) is the lead author of a recent paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research . The paper links natural and human-made aerosol particles to the degree that the Earth warms or cools. Different types of aerosol particles can influence visible light and other kinds of radiation, which affect climate and temperature. The authors developed and use the Ames Airborne Tracking Sunphotometer (AATS-14) to measure sunlight coming directly from the sun through Earth's atmosphere. These measurements will help determine how aerosols change the flow of solar energy and to gauge the extent to which tiny particles in the air affect climate. The full citation of the paper is:

Ames' DSO and possible integration of diving activities with KSC, JSC
The NASA Ames Diving Safety Office (DSO), KSC Safety and Mission Assurance, and JSC Neutral Buoyancy Facility Offices have completed initial discussions on the possibility of the integration of diving activities under the Ames American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS) certification. Representatives from each center have determined that it is mutually beneficial to standardize all training, safety, and management review processes, as defined by the AAUS. This will provide each NASA organization with a certification and standard that is internationally recognized, allowing reciprocity with external organizations, agencies for all diving related collaborations. The AAUS affiliation will also provide an OSHA exemption under 29 CFR 1910, Subpart T. The framework for this collaboration has been defined and will be presented to Ames, JSC, and KSC management.

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act Provisions; Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Termination of Expansion of Emergency Fishery Closure Due to the Presence of the Toxin that Causes Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning
Notice Of Termination.
NMFS is announcing the termination of the revised and expanded Northern Temporary Paralytic Shellfish Poison (PSP) Closure Area, which became effective on July 2, 2008, and the return of the Northern and Southern Temporary PSP Closure Areas to their boundaries, previously implemented on January 1, 2008, and effective through December 31, 2008. Thus, the effect of this notice will be to partially reopen a large area around Nantucket Island to the harvest of certain shellfish species. Regulations governing fishery closures in response to public health threats require concurrence with the Secretary of Health and Human Services prior to any NMFS action on behalf of the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Back to Top
On December 31, 2007, at the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), NMFS published an emergency action in the Federal Register (72 FR 74207), closing the Northern and Southern Temporary PSP Closure Areas from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. On June 25, 2008, NMFS received a request from the FDA to revise and expand the Northern Temporary PSP Closure Area after samples of shellfish off of the coast of Massachusetts tested positive for the toxins (saxotoxins) that cause PSP. In response to the June 25th request, NMFS revised the January 1, 2008, closure to implement modified boundaries of the Northern and Southern Temporary PSP Closure Areas through an emergency action published in the Federal Register (73 FR 38340).
The FDA submitted a letter to NMFS on November 6, 2008, requesting the termination of the recently expanded Northern Temporary PSP Closure Area, and a continuation of the previously authorized closure. The FDA has determined that adequate samples of shellfish from the modified closure area, east of Nantucket Island, have tested well within safe limits for the toxins (saxotoxins) that cause PSP. These toxins are produced by the alga Alexandrium fundyense, which can form blooms commonly referred to as red tides. The FDA now finds that the modified portion of the Northern Temporary PSP Closure Area is safe for the harvest of Atlantic surfclams, ocean quahogs, and scallops harvested and shucked at sea for adductor muscles only. The FDA maintains its determination that the harvest of whole and roe-on scallops is still unsafe from this area. This action terminates the closure published on July 7, 2008, and reinstates the closure as published on December 31, 2007.
This notice is issued pursuant to section 305(c)(3)(D) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), 16 U.S.C. 1855(c). That section states that any emergency regulation implemented under 305(c) "may be terminated by the Secretary at an earlier date by publication in the Federal Register of a notice of termination."

Corinna's Going A-Maying
by Robert Herrick
Stanza 1 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Lines 1-4
Get up, get up for shame, the blooming morn
Upon her wings presents the god unshorn.
See how Aurora throws her fair
Fresh-quilted colours through the air:
- "Get Up Get Up Get Up." It's the boyfriend alarm clock. Corinna's still asleep, but her lover, the speaker of the poem, is up and at 'em, trying to guilt her awake with some well-placed landscape imagery.
- The thing about alarm clocks is, they're pretty insistent. The speaker is, too. He starts out in the imperative mood (he's a demanding little bugger), and he rarely leaves it. This poem issues commands like a three-year-old. Get up! See! Play with me!
- His personification of nature gives the dawn human qualities: the morning is a woman with wings who tosses dawn-colors across the sky like a pioneer quilt. The sun with its strong rays is like some guy's well-haired head.
- Think Louis XIV.
- But κόλαση! if there's not some Greek mythology going on here, too. The morning is named Aurora, Greek goddess of the dawn, and the sun she's bearing through the sky is probably Helios, god of the sun.
- The speaker's basic gripe is this: if the sun's up, then you should be, too.
Lines 5-9
Get up, sweet slug-a-bed, and see
The dew bespangling herb and tree.
Each flower has wept and bow'd toward the east
Above an hour since: yet you not dress'd;
Nay! not so much as out of bed?
- Line 5 hits us with a third "get up," a repetition that adds to the speaker's urgency. He really wants Corinna to come a-Maying with him.
- He's urgent, but he's not mad. So yeah, we wouldn't want to be called a "slug-a-bed," but the "sweet" indicates that it's an endearment, kind of. The triple lineup of s-alliteration in "sweet," "slug," and "see" points to the tension: he really loves her but can't she get out of bed already?
- Get ready for some more humanized nature. The flowers have already cried dew all over the garden and twisted up for some good ol' photosynthesizing sunshine. That was an hour ago, and Corinna is still not dressed or even out of bed. Talk about lazy.
- All this raving about dew and grass and glorious dawn puts this poem in the pastoral mode. By celebrating spring and May Day festivities, Herrick is also celebrating a traditional, simple, rustic way of life. Corinna and the speaker are no city slickers. They're sweet butter-churning, pie-making, rug-weaving, pig-feeding country folk.
- The exclamation mark after "Nay" and then the incredulous question—wait, you're still under the covers?—illustrate the speaker's playful irritation. It also makes you wonder, where exactly is this guy? Is he drifting in and out of Corinna's bedroom while he hunts down his shaving cream? Is he standing under her open window with a lute, a feathered cap, and a picnic basket full of England's best cheese?
Lines 10-12
When all the birds have matins said
And sung their thankful hymns, 'tis sin,
Nay, profanation to keep in,
- Moving from dawn to plants to animals in his nature tour, the speaker offers a flock of personified birds as a final plea. Even the pigeons on the windowsill have said their prayers (matins is a type of morning prayer) and chirped a few hymns. Can't we get out of here already?
- He ramps up his complaint in line 11 with some more religious talk. Although the rest of this stanza is pretty pagan, what with Aurora trundling Helios through the sky, here the speaker goes all Christian on us. Who knows? Maybe those praying birds inspired him.
- According to our speaker, it's a sin to stay inside on this May Day. No wait, it's even worse. It's a profanation.
- What the what? To profane means to disrespect something sacred, which implies that May Day is a holy day.
- But unlike Easter or Christmas or even Sundays, which are holy because they are days of Christian worship, May Day is holy for the opposite reason: it's a day of pagan celebration. Corinna isn't late for church; she's late for frolicking around the Maypole and getting busy in the flowering bushes.
- So here the speaker uses a little Christian imagery only to flip it on its head. Cheeky boy and his irony. Keep your pagan eyes peeled for other examples below.
Lines 13-14
Whereas a thousand virgins on this day
Spring, sooner than the lark, to fetch in May.
- The speaker wraps up the stanza with a jolt of hyperbole (a thousand virgins) and a dash of wordplay. All the maidens in the village are celebrating May Day and they're not doing it sluggishly. They "spring" faster than a lark darting through the sky to celebrate the spring. Get it? They jump in it.
- This punny exaggeration is an obvious contrast to Corinna, who is more like a slug than a lark. She can't be bothered to fetch in the May, not when there's zzzzz's to be had.
- Plus, even though "a thousand virgins" is deliberately over-the-top, this festivity is community-wide. In other words, the speaker isn't inviting Corinna out on a romantic date down lovers' lane, just we two. Instead, he's coaxing her out to celebrate with the entire village.
- "Fetch" is an interesting verb here since it implies that spring can't come in on its own. It's like a frisbee lying on the grass, waiting for Fido to come along and pick it up. For all our speaker's celebration of the natural world, he and the other villagers actually play an important role in this seasonal come-and-go.
