Patient Comments: Hepatitis B - Describe Your Experience
Please describe your experience with hepatitis b.
Comment from: kojo, 19-24 Male (Patient) Published: April 15
I got tested of hepatitis B just yesterday (13/4/2015) and the results shows that I am positive. But there are no signs and symptoms in my body. I don't know how I contacted this deadly disease. Because of money problems I have to use my father's toothbrush, because there is no money to buy one. I ask of the medications and it is too expensive for me to afford. The doctor explained to me that there are acute and chronic hepatitis. I will be at the hospital to test whether I am acute or chronic. I know I will get rid of this virus.
Comment from: Ebere, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: December 03
I tested hepatitis B virus positive. I have two kids and they tested negative and my husband tested negative too. But I keep on testing positive always.
Comment from: Malin, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: August 07
I'm a hepatitis B carrier, and I found it out 3 years ago when I need some medical test for applying for a job. It scares me a lot, and I have been so hopeless since I heard it, I feel like I'm an outcast and different from others. I cry all night, I can't think properly, I'm so down. Even my doctor advised that I cannot transmit the virus using same utensils, saliva, etc., except if I have sexual intercourse. I'm still sick, no one in my family has this disease. And I don't know where I got it. I have taken blood tests many times and my liver is okay, and I never feel pain in my body, but I can't sleep well every night since I have known my situation.
Comment from: Martha L., 65-74 Male (Caregiver) Published: July 14
My husband was on intensive care in 2002 due to cholesterol medications affecting his liver. He turned a gold color and a resident said it caused hepatitis B. He had been through a series of hepatitis B vaccinations before he could accept a job at work years before this and we need to know if this would be considered having hepatitis B since he wants to be a body donor when he passes.
Comment from: thess, 35-44 Female (Caregiver) Published: July 08
In 1999 when I knew that I'm hepatitis B carrier, I didn't visit the doctor. Since then I'm suffering from joint pain and back pain and also my urine is so dark and yellow. I don't know what to do, I have 5 kids, and I am worried they have it too.
Comment from: virgo girl, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: April 17
This last 2 weeks I'm diagnosed with hepatitis B virus in my test but the doctor has not given me medicine to take or advised if is chronic.
Comment from: Jim, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: February 20
I have known for about 1 year that I have hepatitis B because of a blood test. I had a liver biopsy, normal. I had the vaccination at least 7 years ago but I must have had it already, but no effects. Maybe I'm lucky but I want to let others know. I had my partner get vaccinated and will have tested every 6 months from now on. Eat right and lift weights. Life is for the living. Enjoy it.
Comment from: bassam, 19-24 Male (Patient) Published: December 05
Two years ago I found out I am infected with hepatitis B virus and I was maintained on entecavir (Tecavir). Then after 3 months PCR was undetectable but HBsAg was still positive and also anti-HBs still zero. I am still taking my medication and my wife was vaccinated against the virus.
Comment from: suzaku, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: October 07
i have a question to ask regarding hepatitis B. I found out that I was a hep B carrier when I undergone a test during my pregnancy with my 3rd child. the test was done last September 2006. but I was not treated.. I did not undergone any vaccine shot because I was pregnant that time.. i went another check up with my fourth child...my second test was last November or December 2007. my ob got surprise because I was positive in the antigen test in my hep B but I was negative in the antibodies test. according to her, how could that happen that in the antigen, I was positive but negative in the antibodies. she told me that the hep virus is now in my blood surface but I have no antibodies that would fight for the bacteria.. Until now, I have no vaccine shot yet. but my 2 young kids got their shots after I gave birth to them. vaccines complete for them...Finally my OB told me that i need to gone another test after six months from giving birth to see if there was a changes in my case...if the case was still the same that i am still negative in the antibodies test, then she will refer me to the Internal Medicine doctor..

D600 + 24-120f4 or with 24-85VR+something else
Just made my mind about going with a D600 coming from a D90.
My dillema now is what to use with the new body.
Initially I was decided to get a 24-120 f4, but some mixed reviews about the performance at the long end made me think twice.
For a similar price I could get the kit 24-85 VR and get a 105 2.8 from Sigma (or either the Nikon with some more $$).
My key concern is performance for portraits. On the D90 I was happy using the Tamron 28-75 2.8, around 70mm, which is equivalent to ~105 on the D600.
Would the performance of the Sigma on the long end be enough better than that of the 24-120 for me to give up the convinience of that as a one lens solution? I am not a professional, the level of performance I need is to get great pictures of my kids.

For portraiture, it can be the case that a lens is too sharp, and reveals too many wrinkles...!
Although I use a 105mm f/2.8G VR Micro or 85mm f/1.4G for many portraits, I don't hesitate to use my 24-120mm f/4G VR when I'll be shooting a mixture of head shots and full-length in the same session. If you're shooting kids, I think the zoom would be very useful to re-frame as they move around.
I've never had a problem with image quality with the zoom - check out the example below which was taken with this lens at 120mm and f/5.6...

Thanks a lot Brian.
Good point that sharpness is not the key priority.
Do you get a reasonable bokeh with this lens?

I wouldn't put the bokeh of the 24-120mm in the same class as the 85mm f/1.4 - but I've not found it to be a problem. Note, though, that most of my portraits (like the one above) are shot in front of a plain backdrop, for use in theatrical programmes, so how the out-of-focus areas look is mostly irrelevant

The 24-120 VRI f/4 is a superb lens - as versatile as anything on the market today. Bokeh is wonderful. Try these two shots:
Devotional Candles at Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde
Monsieur Marin-Pêcheur - Abdel the Fisherman
The lens is superb in a wide range of lighting. Keep in mind, as well, that the photos above are squashed JPG files. The full size photos look superb. Color, contrast, detail, low noise - everything you could ask for. Shot with a D700. Devotional Candels shot at 70mm, f/4. Abdel the Fisherman shot at 120mm, f/5.6. Both shots taken in Marseille.

I jsut re-read your post, in particular the last sentence, "... I need to get great pictures of my kids."
The lens choice to a great extent depends on the age of the kids. if they're very young - from toddlers up to about 7 years old, they're perpetual motion machines. Nothing short of a 50mm AF-S f/1.4 is going to be able to help freeze the motion most of the time. Past the age of 7 (approximately), so many kids are engaged in field sports, swimming, gymnastics and after-school indoor team sports that the 50mm remains in the bag and you instead need at least a 70-300 to help isolate them in action from 50' away.

They are pretty young, 1 and 4 years old.
What about the 28-300mm? Is it as good as the 24-120mm? It seems to be cheaper, and also available with s $150 discount when acquired together with a D600 in some retailers.

Kids at those ages are never more than 10' from you. Sure there are playground run arounds, birthday parties and all that where the kids are farther away from you, but I don't think a 24-120 or a 28-300 is the right choice. A one year old and a four year old are easily captured in all light, motion frozen, with the versatility of a fast 50mm and the low light capability of anything from a D5100 through the D800. Indoors, even with flash and all its attendant considerations, the 24-120 and the 28-300 just can't keep up with a fast 50mm.
The 28-300 VRII is terrific, but it has its limitations. Edge distortion in some situations can be startling. Nevertheless, a couple of Nikonians in particular are getting superb results out of the 28-300, but certainly take the time to frame and compose carefully, work the lens to its strengths, and spend some carefuly considered time in their post-processing software. The 28-300 focuses moderately fast, but won't be able to keep up with busy, energetic kids horsing around in the yard in many situations. Its slower maximum aperture at full zoom slows AF down a bit more (even considering the slower minimum stop AF systems in the D600 and D800)
The 24-120 is faster lens all around than the 28-300. Optically, the 24-120 provides consistently better results than the 28-300, but with the proviso that you have to look r-e-a-l-l-y closely to see the differences in many photo comparisons. Once again though, I think its appropriate to ask yourself if the 50mm f/1.4 AF-S would be a faster and more versatile choice for photographing your one and four year olds.
The apparent versatility of a 24-120 or 28-300 zoom often does not apply in practice, which is a bit counter-intuitive I suppose. The reason is that aiming, zooming, reacquiring focus and pressing the shutter button all take time. As soon as the light drops to a certain level outside or inside, you either have to bring out the flash (which a lot of kids don't like after one or two shots), or do the smart thing and mount a 50mm f/1.4. Handling a longer, bulkier zoom around busy kids can be problematic in close quarters. The close focusing distances of the 24-120 and the 28-300 (1.5' and 1.6' respectively - about 0.5m) are quite good, but AF accuracy drops somewhat at their close-focus limits. Acceptable, but not great.
By contrast, using a fast prime like the 50mm f/1.4, you just aim, acquire focus and shoot. The more you use the lens, the more you begin physically positioning yourself at the best possible location to make the shot. The 50mm prime lens is less obtrusive than a much bigger zoom lens which can put some kids right off. You don't need a flash indoors as long as there's enough light in the room for the kids to safely play or do whatever they're doing. The sharpness, bokeh and speed of the 50mm f/1.4 AF-S prime lens is not matched by the 24-120 or the 28-300. Indoors, the fast 50mm shines, and at shorter focusing distance (the same 1.5' as the 24-120) its AF is more accurate will help make many shots you'd otherwise not get. The faster maximum aperture means you'll always be able to use a faster shutter speed to freeze the kids in action. The D600 with a 50mm f/1.4 mounted is a very fast photography rig which will help enable you to draw the camera, aim and shoot while a photographer right next to you is still trying to frame and lock focus using the slower zoom.

I agree with most everything you say, Howard... except that the 50mm Nikkors are not renowned for being the fastest-focusing lenses out there. By AF-S standards, the current AF-S 50mm f/1.4G is not a speed merchant and is said to be a little slower to acquire focus than the previous AF-D model.
And - you don't have to use a zoom like a zoom - if you see what I mean! It's quite feasible in the sort of circumstances described to pick an approximately-suitable focal length and leave it there. Used in that fashion, I don't think the 24-120mm would be much slower to acquire and track focus than the fast 50's unless light levels are really poor.

Thanks for the advice.
Thinking about primes, on FX do you believe it would be better a 50/1.8d (which I have) or a 85/1.8G?
I am used to DX and on that the 50mm works fine, maybe a bit long for chasing the kids around the house.
I have also a 28-75 2.8 Tamron that would work, but is having some reliability issues (stops focusing sometimes).

The 85mm f/1.8 Nikkor is a fine lens. It's my personal preference. But I also think that a choice of lens is dependent more on your style of shooting, your preferred subject matter, and the sort of handling you prefer.

I bought my 24-120mm to use with my D700 and was a little concerned that when I migrated to the D800, it wouldn't be a sharp enough lens. For me, no worries! It's a great lens on the D800 and will regularly reside on the camera. I would think the same thing would apply to the D600.
Good luck with your new camera!

PETER GALLOby Jonathan Goodman
Peter Gallo's interests are literary as well as painterly, frequently if not always including words or phrases in his eccentric but enjoyable art. With titles like "Intifada," "Blow up the abbatoir," and "I'm Not Dead Yet," one might think that Gallo has set up a barricade to harangue his audience with a message, but the words seem more surreal than provocative. "Paint Symptoms" (2011) is a tallish, narrow oil-on-velvet, with blocks of different colors pushing their way into the viewer's field of vision. Another oil, on linen backed by found wood, is titled "Ship of Health" (2011); it consists of a rough sketch of a sailing ship centered within a frame painted on the canvas and a grid of dots. The appeal of Gallo's art comes from its rough-and-tumble technique, which tends to emphasize the content of his paintings rather than the technical skills of the hand. In the work named "Friendship and Modernism" (2011), Gallo includes a rectangle of paint in the middle, framed by thin, broken sticks. This kind of improvisatory, ad hoc creativity often serves to mask poor skills, but in Gallo's case, the rawness is a genuine part of his aesthetic, whose ungainliness keeps us thinking.

Excellent product. No bitter aftertaste like most stevia products.
Posted by Reviewer1985995 on Sep 28, 2010
This is positively the best Stevia on the market. It is hard to find, and Iherb sends it quickly and it is the best price. I have tried 4 other brands, but NuNaturals is the best...the liquid form is the best by far.
NuNaturals, Stevia
Posted by Reviewer3209236 on Oct 01, 2010
This is the best stuff.
Nu Naturals Stevia - Great Product
Posted by Reviewer2530889 on Oct 03, 2010
Normally don't write reviews, but I have been helped by so many other reviews that I thought I should start returning the favor. I have tried other Stevia products before and hated the bitter aftertaste. This product is so good - no aftertaste - and very sweet. I love iherb, too as they have such good prices. I just re-purchased this at Whole Foods b/c I did not plan well enough to order through iherb and I couldn't be without it - so I had to pay the extra $$ :( I learned my lesson!
nunaturals stevia liz.

NuNaturals Alcohol Free Stevia
Posted by Reviewer3315135 on Mar 31, 2011
Great Product, Price and taste. NO aftertaste. I keep this in stock and carry it in my purse to sweetened tea or coffee. Love the vanilla flavor also in this product. iherb has the best price but you need to stock up because others have found this fact out too! Don't delay if you find it and order plenty to make sure you have enought to last.
Posted by khi-73 on May 26, 2011
No aftertaste!
Love it!
Posted by Reviewer2310902 on Jun 03, 2011
This is now a staple of mine along with the alcohol free vanilla stevia. Highly recommended!
Best stevia product I've used.
Posted by Reviewer2766789 on Jun 14, 2011
Strong and non-bitter flavor. Very sweet, works well also when trying to cover not-so great tastes (like in green powder / herbal powder drinks). I wish this would be available in a 4 oz bottle.

by Ross C. Hardy
A while back, I wrote an article naming ten solid creator-owned comic books you could read if you wanted to prove your interests lay outside mainstream superhero publishing. Some aspects of the situation have changed; Pigs and The Secret History of D.B. Cooper have ended, for example, and Garth Ennis is no longer writing the bloody, pulpy Shadow. But the rest of them are still solid investments, and the great thing about comics is, there are new solid investments to make every month. So in the interest of separating you from your hard-earned beer money, here are eight more comics that might have flown under your radar.
Are these the most obscure? No. But outside of the mainstream cape-and-cowl books, the done-to-death twists, turns, reveals, and retcons, these are the cream of the crop. These are comics that you can buy right now that will make you love comics—all comics—even more.
First: Music has a new Messiah
Punk Rock Jesus
by Sean Murphy (Vertigo)
Raise your hand if you agree with the following statement: Nothing makes controversy quite like religion. If you raised your hand, go on, put it back down. This is the Internet, no one can see you (and we're all very grateful for that. You should be ashamed of yourself). But if you did raise your hand, then this is the comic for you: Sean Murphy's broad, beautiful, and bloody satire. Written with a simple premise—"Jesus is cloned in the 21st century and made the star of a reality TV show— PRJ is a gorgeous black-and-white lance directed at the heart of the entertainment industry and organized religion. A book like this could easily descend into name-calling and heavy-handed righteousness, but props to Murphy for making an attempt to show the issues (creationism vs. evolution, the role of talk show pundits, faith vs. science) from both sides of the coin, even if it's crystal clear who he's rooting for.
Punk Rock Jesus is about redemption, rebellion, and righteousness, squealing guitars and throbbing motorcycle engines and old hymns. It's often clever, occasionally funny, and always exciting, and it only has one question: "What would punk rock Jesus do?"
Next: A worse kids' entertainer than Krusty the Clown
The Cowboy Wally Show
by Kyle Baker (Vertigo)
The Cowboy Wally Show is an oddity on this list, because it's been out of print for about twenty years. But if you can track down a copy, do it—your comic collection will show an immediate 200% increase in quality. Kyle Baker has won 18 different industry awards, but if you're the person who doesn't care about awards, let me just say that Kyle Baker is the funniest cartoonist this side of Bill Watterson. The second—and final, I promise—black & white comic written and illustrated by the same person, Cowboy Wally tells the story of the eponymous Wally, an elephantine drunk who blackmails his way into becoming America's most beloved television star.
Cowboy Wally follows a disastrous attempt to film a documentary about the mega-star, chronicling his achievements on the small screen and his catastrophic failures on the big screen. At 120 pages and change, you can knock it out on a lunch break, but Baker manages to squeeze in so many jokes, gags, and gorgeously-drawn slapstick that you'll be coming back again and again. "Not bad," says interviewer Oswald Stairs, "for someone who Dick Cavett once described as 'the stupidest man on the face of this planet.'" Not bad indeed, Mr. Baker. Not bad indeed.
Next: If Waterworld were great
The Massive
by Brian Wood & Various (Dark Horse)
If you keep up with comic news at all, I'm sorry. But if you are plugged into the hype machine, it's impossible that you've missed the name Brian Wood at least a hundred times. Currently writing five titles across two companies, Wood can do no wrong right now. If you're only a casual comic reader, you'll know him as the guy currently writing comics with Star Wars and X-Men in the title; if you've followed his career for a while, you know he's made a name for himself by writing nail-biting near-future social satire with DMZ and Channel Zero. Well, add The Massive to the list.
An exhaustively well-researched exploration of life in a post-global environmental meltdown world, The Massive tells the story of the Callum Israel and his ragtag band, Ninth Wave, a radical environmentalist group without a whole lot of work to do ever since The Crash sent the world spiraling into Waterworld territory. All Israel wants to do is find Ninth Wave's sister ship, the Massive, and try to continue his mission of environmental activism, but in a world where governments have collapsed, landmarks aren't where they used to be, and not even his own crew is trustworthy, Israel has his work cut out for him. Packed with real-world locations and vital statistics on global warming, overfishing, and pollution, The Massive is both a grim warning and an indispensable addition to the reading list of anyone who thinks comics can be a force for change.
Next: Where spells are traded as often as bullets
Chin Music
by Steve Niles & Tony Harris (Image)
If there's one universal truth about Tony Harris, it's that he will probably definitely snap your neck if you make fun of him. If there are two, it's that the man has basically re-invented superhero comics twice: once in the mid-90s with the extended Silver Age retrospective and tattoo-appreciation clinic Starman, and once in the mid oughts with "West Wing meets Watchmen" epic Ex Machina. If you haven't read either of those, read any superhero comic published in the last fifteen years. If it was a mainstream comic, it would have still been ripping off Watchmen if Starman hadn't come along. If it was an indie book, it would have been trying to write new Miracleman stories instead of trying to write new Ex Machina ones. And to say that Steve Niles is "the guy who made vampires scary again" is doing a disservice to all of the Dracula cosplayers on Tumblr, but seriously: the guy wrote 30 Days of Night a full three years before Stephanie Meyer decided that the subtle sexual metaphors of vampires were too subtle, dammit, and he did it better than anyone since Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot (which is, by itself, the best vampire story since Dracula).
Chin Music is thus something of a dream collaboration between two A-Listers at the top of their game, a supernatural thriller set in and around Prohibition, where demons can flay a man alive in the skies over Egypt and magic bullets can kill gangsters. It's still early in this series' life, but if what we've seen so far is any indication, Chin Music has all the makings of an instant classic. My recommendation? Start reading now, so when they make the inevitable TV show, you can say you were into it before it was cool.
Nowhere Men
by Eric Stephenson & Nate Bellegarde (Image)
No one can really explain what Nowhere Men is about. But everyone agrees that it's awesome. It's the story of four young scientists and inventors who wanted to change to the world. But it's also the story of a science team abandoned in space. Or maybe it's the story of a mysterious plague. There are a lot of plot threads, and the whole shirt isn't quite visible yet, but every issue has been exciting enough and packed to the gutters with fun side notes and world building that it doesn't matter, you're just happy to be along for the ride.
If I had one complaint about NM, it would be that it's hard to keep the characters straight, but I'm hardly going to make a big deal about a book trying to have too many distinct voices in an industry that hasn't had more than one since Frank Miller starting writing Batman. Nowhere Men is a mystery wrapped in an enigma folded around a world where "science is the new rock and roll" and young entrepreneurs are given the GQ interview treatment. It's got robots, teleportation, superpowers (maybe?), and a British scientist who doses up on acid, rides a bicycle indoors, and is never seen in the comic again. It's a rare surprise in an industry that's grown stale and predictable, and it's only going to get better from here.
Next: the biggest publisher goes street-level
Hawkeye & Daredevil
by Matt Fraction & Various and Mark Waid & Various (Marvel Comics)
I put these two in one category, not because they're interchangeable, but because they're the best books Marvel is putting out right now, and I didn't want to give one of the Big Two more than one slot on this otherwise less-mainstream list. Waid and Fraction are both heavyweights in the industry. They've written for some of the biggest characters in comics, from Superman to the Fantastic Four, but the best work of their careers has come from small, personal stories about C-List lightweights like Daredevil and Hawkeye. The titles have a few things in common: they're both stupidly gorgeous, with a rotating cast of brilliant artists that includes names like Javier Pulido, Chris Samnee, David Aja, Paolo Rivera, and Francesco Francavilla. If you don't know who those are, all I can say is that Francavilla can do more with shades of purple than most artists can do with the entire Adobe Professional Suite.
Both Hawkeye and Daredevil are small scale, which befits their title character's status as a street-level vigilante. Hawkeye finds himself dealing with lady troubles, Russian thugs, and stray dogs; Daredevil is embroiled in cancer scares and a far-reaching plot to make him question his sanity before ultimately executing him (but, like, small scale). They're both touching and funny and heartbreaking. They're both exciting and kinetic. They both feature disabled heroes (it's common knowledge that Daredevil is blind, less so that Hawkeye is partially deaf). And they've both gotten crazy amounts of critical acclaim. People are going to be talking about these two for a long, long time, and it's not too late to get in near the ground floor.
Next: the world's most precocious thief
by Paul Tobin & Colleen Coover (Monkeybrain Comics)
When Chris Roberson got kicked out of DC Comics for expressing some candid opinions, people were pretty excited to see what he'd do next. It's fair to say that he blew everyone's expectations out of the water with Monkeybrain Comics, an all-digital comic publisher with some of the top names in the business. All of the Monkeybrain books are good choices (and cheap, too), but the best of the bunch is Bandette, a throwback to the kind of European bandes-dessinees (see what they did there?) none of us in America have ever read. Inspired by the likes of Tintin and Diabolik, Bandette has been quietly putting on a clinic on how to write strong, funny female protagonists in an industry that has historically had a bit of trouble with that sort of thing.
Bandette tells the gleefully cheerful story of Bandette, a gentlewoman thief (who is a young, animated, bubbly French lady) and her misadventures in Paris. She's a vigilante, but also a thief, an angel and a devil and a perpetual thorn in the side of Inspector Belgique, the Commissioner Gordon to this particularly peppy Batman. It's charming as hell and gorgeous to boot. And on top of that it's only a dollar. And you can read it on your phone. What more do you want?
Next: The day the internet exploded
The Private Eye
Brian K. Vaughan & Marcos Martin (Panel Syndicate)
Brian K. Vaughan makes his second appearance in this series (the first being for Saga, which is still worth reading) with The Private Eye, an exciting new digital venture with artist Marcos Martin. The comic industry is in something of a crisis over pricing, if you weren't aware; people aren't buying enough books to keep the companies afloat because the books are too expensive, so companies keep raising the price to try and stay afloat. In the midst of that confusion, Vaughan and Marcos released The Private Eye, an irregularly-published, pay-what-you-want, DRM-free, future noir story. You can pay $100 per issue; you can pay one penny. Whatever you pay, it isn't enough to deserve an additional BKV book, even one that didn't have so tantalizing a hook…
The idea is that, an indeterminate amount of time in the past, the Internet exploded, and everybody's secrets got out. Every furry porn site you've ever visited, every annoying Europop video you've ever lip-synced to, all there for the world to see. Now, in a world where online privacy doesn't exist, people are reduced to wearing masks, taking on the literal interpretations of the avatars they used to browse the web in the days before the collapse. Privacy is the ultimate luxury, taking a picture is a felony offense, and current hipster chic has become tasteful decorative antiques. In the middle of this is P.I., or Pi, or Patrick Immelmann, a paparazzi for hire. He gets caught up in all the trappings of a good Chandler detective story–there's a dame, there's a case, there's a lot of money involved. But things go south fast. It's…difficult to describe.
Gamble a buck. You won't be sorry.
Ross Hardy already told you what comics to read if you liked The Dark Knight Rises, and breaks down his own collection of gems on his blog.
Ross once Jell-O wrestled a roller derby babe for science, got drunk at Dragon*Con, and interviewed the roughest, toughest, foot-stompingest duo south of the Mason Dixon line and lived to tell about it.

Key Cargo Security Programs Can Be Improved

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has in place two programs to help address the threat posed by terrorists smuggling weapons of mass destruction (WMD) into the United States: the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) and the Container Security Initiative (CSI). In July 2003, GAO reported that these programs had management challenges that limited their effectiveness. Given plans to expand both programs, in two recently issued reports GAO examined selected aspects of both programs' operations. This statement is a summary of those publicly available reports.
In return for committing to making improvements to the security of their shipments, C-TPAT members receive a range of benefits that may change the risk characterization of their shipments, thereby reducing the probability of extensive inspection. Before providing benefits, CBP reviews the self-reported information contained in applicants' membership agreements and security profiles. Also, CBP assesses the compliance history of importers before granting them benefits. However, CBP grants benefits before members undergo the validation process, which is CBP's method to verify that their security measures are reliable, accurate, and effective. Although CBP's goal was to validate members within 3 years, to date it has validated 11 percent of them. Further, the validation process is not rigorous, as the objectives, scope, and methodology of validations are jointly agreed upon with the member, and CBP has no written guidelines to indicate what scope of effort is adequate for the validation. Also, although CBP has recently moved to a risk-based approach to selecting members for validation, it has not determined the number and types of validations that are needed to manage security risks or the CBP staff required to complete them. Further, CBP has not developed a comprehensive set of performance measures for the program, and key program decisions are not always documented and programmatic information is not updated regularly or accurately. The CSI program is designed to target and inspect high-risk cargo containers at foreign ports before they leave for the United States. It has resulted in improved information sharing between U.S. and foreign customs operations and a heightened level of international awareness regarding securing the global shipping system. Yet, several factors limit CBP's ability to successfully target containers to determine if they are high-risk. One factor is staffing imbalances, caused by political and practical considerations, which impede CBP's targeting efforts at CSI ports. As a result, 35 percent of U.S.-bound shipments from CSI ports were not targeted and not subject to inspection overseas--the key goal of the CSI program. In addition, as of September 11, 2004, 28 percent of the containers referred to host governments for inspection were not inspected overseas for various reasons such as operational limitations. One percent of these referrals were denied by host government officials, generally because they believed the referrals were based on factors not related to security threats. For the 72 percent of referred containers that were inspected overseas, CBP officials told us that no WMD were discovered. However, the nonintrusive inspection equipment used at CSI ports varies in detection capability, and there are no minimum technical requirements for equipment used as part of CSI. As a result, CBP has limited assurance that inspections conducted under CSI are effective at detecting and identifying terrorist WMD in containers. Finally, CBP continues to make refinements to the strategic plan and performance measures needed to help manage the program and achieve program goals. Until these refinements are completed, it will be difficult to assess progress made in CSI operations.

Three of the nine selected agencies' risk assessment methodologies that GAO reviewed—the Department of Energy (DOE), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Department of State (State)—fully align with the Interagency Security Committee's (ISC) risk assessment standards, but six do not—the Department of the Interior (DOI), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Federal Protective Service (FPS), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). As a result, these six agencies may not have a complete understanding of the risks facing approximately 52,000 federal facilities and may be less able to allocate security resources cost-effectively at the individual facility level or across the agencies' facility portfolios. ISC's The Risk Management Process for Federal Facilities ( RMP ) standard requires that agencies' facility risk assessment methodologies must (1) consider all of the undesirable events identified in the RMP as possible risks to federal facilities, and (2) assess the threat, consequences, and vulnerability to specific undesirable events. Six of the nine agencies' methodologies GAO reviewed do not align with ISC's standards because the methodologies do not (1) consider all of the undesirable events in the RMP or (2) assess threat, consequences, or vulnerability to specific undesirable events. For example, five agencies (DOI, VA, FEMA, FPS, and NRC), do not assess the threat, consequences, or vulnerability to specific undesirable events, as ISC requires. The reasons why varied; for example, VA said that its methodology was in place before ISC issued its standards. Officials from that agency told us they were working to update their methodology.
ISC has issued a series of physical security standards and guidance to assist member agencies with developing their risk assessment methodologies, but does not know the extent to which its 53 member agencies comply with its standards, including its risk assessment standards, because it does not monitor agencies' compliance. ISC does not monitor compliance or have an approach to do so that incorporates outreach to agencies regarding their compliance status. Officials stated that they would like to monitor agencies' compliance, but limited resources and other priorities, such as developing standards and guidance, have prevented them from doing so. However, ISC has the authority to create a working group from its member agencies to help it perform its duties. In the absence of ISC's monitoring, agencies' risk assessment methodologies may not align with ISC's standards. In addition, although ISC issued risk assessment guidance in August 2013, this guidance is limited. For example, the guidance does not describe how to incorporate threat, consequence, or vulnerability assessments of specific undesirable events into a risk assessment methodology. Not having appropriate guidance is inconsistent with federal internal-control standards designed to promote effectiveness and efficiency.
Why GAO Did This Study
The 2012 shooting at the Anderson Federal Building in Long Beach, California, demonstrates that federal facilities and their employees as well as the public who visit federal buildings continue to be the targets of violence. The Federal Protective Service and about 30 other federal agencies are responsible for protecting civilian federal facilities and their occupants from potential threats, in part, by assessing risks to their facilities. ISC—an interagency organization led by the Department of Homeland Security— issues standards for facility protection.
GAO was asked to examine how federal agencies assess risk to their facilities. This report assesses (1) the extent to which selected ISC member agencies' facility risk assessment methodologies align with ISC's risk assessment standards, and (2) how ISC assists member agencies in developing risk assessment methodologies and monitors compliance with these standards. GAO selected 9 of 53 ISC member agencies based on their missions and number of facilities. GAO compared each selected agency's risk assessment methodology to ISC's risk assessment standards. ISC is required to enhance security in and protection of federal facilities government-wide; recommendations GAO makes are to ISC and not its member agencies.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that ISC take action to assess member agencies' compliance and provide additional risk- assessment methodology guidance. DHS concurred with GAO's recommendations.

The pier is Victorian built in 1896, has great views across towards Pool and Bournemouth and the Needles on the Isle of Wight. To get on the pier there?s a charge of 30p. You can take a boat to Poole, Bournemouth, the Isle of Wight or Brownsea Island, as well as cruises to Old Harry's Rocks & Durlston. You need to check the times, which are usually displayed on a blackboard.

What is 'Put-Call Parity'
Put-call parity is a principle that defines the relationship between the price of European put options and European call options of the same class, that is, with the same underlying asset, strike price and expiration date. Put-call parity states that simultaneously holding a short European put and long European call of the same class will deliver the same return as holding one forward contract on the same underlying asset, with the same expiration and a forward price equal to the option's strike price. If the prices of the put and call options diverge so that this relationship does not hold, an arbitrage opportunity exists, meaning that sophisticated traders can earn a theoretically risk-free profit. Such opportunities are uncommon and short-lived in liquid markets.
The equation expressing put-call parity is:
C + PV(x) = P + S
C = price of the European call option
PV(x) = the present value of the strike price (x), discounted from the value on the expiration date at the risk-free rate
P = price of the European put
S = spot price, the current market value of the underlying asset
BREAKING DOWN 'Put-Call Parity'
Put-call parity applies only to European options, which can only be exercised on the expiration date, and not American ones, which can be exercised before.
Say that you purchase a European call option for TCKR stock. The expiration date is one year from now, the strike price is $15, and purchasing the call costs you $5. This contract gives you the right—but not the obligation—to purchase TCKR stock on the expiration date for $15, whatever the market price might be. If one year from now, TCKR is trading at $10, you will not exercise the option. If, on the other hand, TCKR is trading at $20 per share, you will exercise the option, buy TCKR at $15 and break even, since you paid $5 for the option initially. Any amount TCKR goes above $20 is pure profit, assuming zero transaction fees.
Say you also sell (or "write" or "short") a European put option for TCKR stock. The expiration date, strike price and cost of the option are the same. You receive the $5 price of the option, rather than paying it, and it is not up to you to exercise or not exercise the option, since you don't own it. The buyer has purchased the right, but not the obligation, to sell you TCKR stock at the strike price; you are obligated to take that deal, whatever TCKR's market share price. So if TCKR trades at $10 a year from now, the buyer will sell you the stock at $15, and you will both break even: you already made $5 from selling the put, making up your shortfall, while they already spent $5 to buy it, eating up their gain. If TCKR trades at $15 or above, you have made $5 and only $5, since the other party will not exercise the option. If TCKR trades below $10, you will lose money—up to $10, if TCKR goes to zero.
The profit or loss on these positions for different TCKR stock prices is graphed below. Notice that if you add the profit or loss on the long call to that of the short put, you make or lose exactly what you would have if you had simply signed a forward contract for TCKR stock at $15, expiring in one year. If shares are going for less than $15, you lose money. If they are going for more, you gain. Again, this scenario ignores all transaction fees.
Put Another Way
Another way to imagine put-call parity is to compare the performance of a protective put and a fiduciary call of the same class. A protective put is a long stock position combined with a long put, which acts to limit the downside of holding the stock. A fiduciary call is a long call combined with cash equal to the present value (adjusted for the discount rate) of the strike price; this ensures the investor has enough cash to exercise the option on the expiration date. Before we said that TCKR puts and calls with a strike price of $15 expiring in one year both traded at $5, but let's assume for a second that they trade for free:
Put-Call Parity And Arbitrage
In the two graphs above, the y-axis represents the value of the portfolio, not the profit or loss, because we're assuming that traders are giving options away. They are not, however, and the prices of European put and call options are ultimately governed by put-call parity. In a theoretical, perfectly efficient market, the prices for European put and call options would be governed by the equation:
C + PV(x) = P + S
Let's say that the risk-free rate is 4% and that TCKR stock is currently trading at $10. Let's continue to ignore transaction fees and assume that TCKR doesn't pay a dividend. For TCKR options expiring in one year with a strike price of $15 we have:
In this hypothetical market, TCKR puts should be trading at a $4.42 premium to their corresponding calls. This makes intuitive sense: with TCKR trading at just 67% of the strike price, the bullish call seems to have the longer odds. Let's say this is not the case, though: for whatever reason, the puts are trading at $12, the calls at $7.
7 + 14.42 < 12 + 10
21.42 fiduciary call < 22 protected put
When one side of the put-call parity equation is greater than the other, this represents an arbitrage opportunity. You can "sell" the more expensive side of the equation and buy the cheaper side to make, for all intents and purposes, a risk-free profit. In practice, this means selling a put, shorting the stock, buying a call and buying the risk-free asset (TIPS, for example).
In reality, opportunities for arbitrage are short-lived and difficult to find. In addition, the margins they offer may be so thin that an enormous amount of capital is required to take advantage of them.

Memory Quotes and Sayings
Sometimes you'll never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory.:- )
Sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
Nothing improves the memory more than trying to forget.
Save all the memories from the past… Later you'll need them.
I think the only reason people hang on to memories for so long is because memories are the only things that don't change, even when people do.
You don't just take a picture with a camera, you take it with your heart.
Good times may come and go…but memories last forever!
The reason why we hold on to memories so long is because while everything else changed memories don't.
It doesn't matter if we do something right or wrong, all that matters is that we make memories while doing it.
A good piece of furniture is not as valuable than the memories it holds.
Memories are what we look back on, when we have nothing to look forward to.
Love, Live and make memories!
I wish we could bottle our glorious moments, preserve them such that times that we are down and depressed, we could pour them in a glass and drink, reliving the glorious moments and rekindling our spirit.
The only thing worse than no memory is not making new ones.
The only thing worse than bad memories is no memory at all

The hate-seekers want Earth all for themselves and humans are willing to kill each other to make sure they get it.
With terror and splendor comes the first novel in the haunting Shadow People Trilogy. Fans of hardcore horror, paranormal romance, arcane mysticism, or zombie blasting survivalism will not be disappointed with this timeless tale of light vs. darkness.
A dark and potent apparition born of human fear spawns more of its kind from the souls of those it massacres. Its newborn shadow specters impulsively possess humans, mutating them into savage, murdering zombies.
The story alternates between three individuals in cities far removed and in lives most dissimilar. As each of them comes face to face with the world's ever-increasing shadow and zombie population, they seek physically and spiritually to find each other. For collectively, if they can find the strength and the will to survive, they share one destiny.
Grace, 19, her captivating and exquisite beauty is held in sharp contrast to her disfigurement. She clings to the hope of the reality of a mystical man who once came to her during her time of fire and dreams and promised to return for her. However, her time in this world may not be long endured.
Lily, a sightless, precognitive 5 year old, finds herself alone, lost, and hunted by unspeakable terror in a cold and forbidding forest. Her only hope of surviving even a few more hours is Grace who is two hundred miles away and has yet to realize the little girl is real.
Aeden, 397, with an air of majesty and the countenance of a rock star is eternally youthful, and moves at the speed of thought. He alone carries the ability to destroy the shadows at will and his method is so simplistic it is startling. With power beyond imagining, Aeden, in our real world, is possible.
WARNING: This book contains strong horror violence and gore, some strong language, and some intense situations involving children and dogs.

On a radiant fall day, more than 100 people filed into a gloomy auditorium in Boston to see a play about an even gloomier subject: Alzheimer's disease and how the progressive, brain-killing condition shakes up an African American family.
"I forget things," the father onstage says angrily while he and his loved ones remain in denial about his descent into dementia. "I'm sick of people asking me how I'm doing."
The play, "Forget Me Not," is part of a larger, D.C.-based project designed to reach a community at risk and encourage participation in research.
"You just crashed a little bit," Adam Gazzaley said.
It was true: I'd slammed my rocket-powered surfboard into an icy riverbank. This was at Gazzaley's San Francisco lab, in a nook cluttered with multicolored skullcaps and wires that hooked up to an E.E.G. machine. The video game I was playing wasn't the sort typically pitched at kids or even middle-aged, Gen X gamers. Indeed, its intended users include people over 60 — because the game might just help fend off the mental decline that accompanies aging.
For the first time, and to the astonishment of many of their colleagues, researchers created what they call Alzheimer's in a Dish — a petri dish with human brain cells that develop the telltale structures of Alzheimer's disease. In doing so, they resolved a longstanding problem of how to study Alzheimer's and search for drugs to treat it; the best they had until now were mice that developed an imperfect form of the disease.
For consummate physician-researchers, what better way to mark an auspicious anniversary than with a scientific meeting? So it was that some 250 researchers gathered at Massachusetts General Hospital on September 19 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Massachusetts Alzheimer's Disease Research Center in the first batch of what was to become a nationwide system of federally funded ADRCs. The crowd comprised the instigators of the centers system, former trainees-turned-research-leaders, as well as current faculty, residents, and students from the United States and abroad.
The National Institutes of Health announced today its first wave of investments totaling $46 million in fiscal year 14 funds to support the goals of the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative. More than 100 investigators in 15 states and several countries will work to develop new tools and technologies to understand neural circuit function and capture a dynamic view of the brain in action.
Dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, remains one of the biggest global public health challenges facing our generation. The number of people living with dementia worldwide today is estimated at 44 million, set to almost double by 2030 and more than triple by 2050. The global cost of dementia was estimated in 2010 at US $604 billion, and this is only set to rise.
America's older population is experiencing unprecedented growth, but the country is not prepared to meet the housing needs of this aging group, concludes a new report released today by Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies and the AARP Foundation. According to "Housing America's Older Adults - Meeting the Needs of an Aging Population," the number of people in the United States aged 50 and over is expected to grow to 133 million by 2030, an increase of more than 70 percent since 2000 (click to view interactive map).
We're not yet past Labor Day, but it's already time to start thinking about traveling for the year-end holidays. If you've done it before, you can envision the hassle of getting there when it may seem as though half the world is going too, never mind the expense. If you're traveling with someone who suffers from memory loss, there's an even greater price to pay. Can such a trip be undertaken? And if it can, should it?
About 5 million people in the U.S. suffer from Alzheimer's, half a million of them in California, two-thirds of them women, according to the Alzheimer's Assn.
If you're on the older side and find yourself popping hideously awake in the middle of the night or far-too-early morn, here's your line for the next time it happens: "Oh, that darned ventrolateral preoptic nucleus of mine! How I miss my old galanin!"
In 2009, award-winning journalist Greg O'Brien was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's; he was just 59 years old. It's the kind of news that no one is prepared for, and yet O'Brien, who had watched both his maternal grandfather and mother succumb to the disease, was perhaps more prepared than most.
