ICYMI: Gun Advocate Needed Her Guns To Protect Herself and Her Family
Including both licit and illicit firearms, the US has 101.05 privately-owned guns per 100 residents and Canada has 30.8 per 100 residents. The US has an annual firearm death rate of 10.54 per 100,000 residents (3.43 homicides, 6.69 suicides, 0.18 unintentional, 0.08 of undetermined cause) while Canada has a firearm death rate of 1.97 per 100,000 residents (0.38 homicides, 1.52 suicides, 0.05 unintentional, 0.02 of undetermined cause).
Focusing on homicide, the logical conclusion of the "guns aren't the problem" argument is that Americans are naturally 3.42 times as violent as Canadians, which isn't a very convincing argument. The rate of homicide by any method is 4.96 per 100,000 in the US and 1.45 per 100,000 in Canada, but if we factor the guns out, we get homicide rates of 1.53 in the US and 1.07 in Canada. In other words, the US is 3.42 times as violent as Canada in total, but only 1.43 times as violent without the guns.
We know that once the dust has settled and people have had time to think about the issue, they still won't do shit about it. What the hell is wrong with them?
(Statistics are from the University of Sydney. I know the US numbers don't add up arithmetically, but that's how they're reported in the university's publication.)

Savage Love Letter of the Day: Good Priests, Shitty Bishops
Dan, watching you tell this personal story made me cry in the best way. Thank you for your vulnerability and courage. It gives the rest of us an example of being loving and having integrity. Someone to look up to with actual human emotions is so rare in US culture that we desperately need to see that emotions are ok for people to have.

Savage Love Letter of the Day:
You make a very, very good point, and at the outset I thought the same as you. The more I read though, the more I think that Dan has experience with people with limited use of a second language, and that he did a good job of explaining his idiom.

Savage Love Letter of the Day: Girthless And Mirthless
Good to hear that not all of the Christian sex ed programmes are abstinence only bullshittery. That's a nice thing to learn! It's not often that you hear about a Christian sex ed programme that actually educates people.
But that's just my point of view from Atheist Socialist Canada up here where all we ever hear about is your batshit crazy sex and body controlling Christians. It's nice to get another perspective!

Join the Fight to Keep Florida Fishing
The list of initiatives to ban or severely restrict recreational fishing and boating access in Florida is growing every day. Over the past decade, the misguided attempts to manage fisheries include Biscayne National Park, the Everglades, the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, southeast Florida marine sanctuary request, and red snapper on both coasts. These bans and restrictions are often initiated by well-funded and coordinated special interest groups who leverage their influence at the state and federal levels to achieve their particular agendas.
That's why Keep Florida Fishing was created.
The mission is to ensure Florida's resident anglers and visitors have abundant fisheries, clean water and access to both. But your help is needed.

Making a Life on a Tough New Planet"Read it, please. Straight through to the end. Whatever else you were planning to do next, nothing could be more important." —Barbara KingsolverTwenty years ago, with The End of Nature, Bill McKibben offered one of the earliest warnings about global warming. Those warnings went mostly unheeded; now, he insists, we need to acknowledge that we've waited too long, and that massive change is not only
$9.99Eleven billion people will crowd this marvelous planet by century's end. If the global economy were to grow five-fold during this period as predicted, humanity's ecological footprint would exceed Earth's biocapacity by 400%. We need to chart a new course to the future. The sweeping changes that make a 'full world' work—involving dual processes of destruction and reconstruction—will transform
Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that Saved AmericaNational Book Award–winner Timothy Egan turns his historian's eye to the largest-ever forest fire in America and offers an epic, cautionary tale for our time. On the afternoon of August 20, 1910, a battering ram of wind moved through the drought-stricken national forests of Washington, Idaho, and Montana, whipping the hundreds of small blazes burning across the forest floor into a roaring inferno

$9.99Rachel Carson's Silent Spring was first published in three serialized excerpts in the New Yorker in June of 1962.

Carson's passionate concern for the future of our planet reverberated powerfully

Plant Based Diet: The 101 Best Whole Foods To Prevent Disease And Live LongerOne of the biggest problems in the diets of most people today is the fact that so much of our food consumption comes from processed meats and packaged foods. Not only will this cause the body's natural pH balance to shift, setting you up for problems, but it's also going to cause you to place a high number of toxins in your body that will end up damaging your organs, causing blood sugar
Remaking the Way We Make ThingsA manifesto for a radically different philosophy and practice of manufacture and environmentalism"Reduce, reuse, recycle" urge environmentalists; in other words, do more with less in order to minimize damage. But as this provocative, visionary book argues, this approach perpetuates a one-way, "cradle to grave" manufacturing model that dates to the Industrial Revolution and casts off as much as 90
The Adventures of a Guilty Liberal Who Attempts to Save the Planet, and the Discoveries He Makes About Himself and Our Way of Life in the ProcessA guilty liberal finally snaps, swears off plastic, goes organic, becomes a bicycle nut, turns off his power, and generally becomes a tree-hugging lunatic who tries to save the polar bears and the rest of the planet from environmental catastrophe while dragging his baby daughter and Prada-wearing, Four Seasons–loving wife along for the ride. And that's just the beginning. Bill McKibben meets Bill

The tax burden in Belgium did not change between 2013 and 2014, staying at 44.7%. The corresponding figures for the OECD average were an increase of 0.2 percentage points from 34.2% to 34.4%.
The 2015 edition introduces more detailed analysis of participation in early childhood and tertiary levels of education. The report also examines first generation tertiary-educated adults' educational and social mobility, labour market outcomes for recent graduates, and participation in employer-sponsored formal and/or non-formal education.
Belgium is making a laudable push to direct more development aid to the poorest countries, but to deliver on this it needs to set firm deadlines, make its aid programme more flexible, and should reverse a decline in overall aid, according to an OECD Review.
The OECD's Development Assistance Committee (DAC) conducts periodic reviews of the individual development co-operation efforts of DAC members. The policies and programmes of each member are critically examined approximately once every five years. DAC peer reviews assess the performance of a given member, not just that of its development co-operation agency, and examine both policy and implementation. They take an integrated, system-wide perspective on the development co-operation and humanitarian assistance activities of the member under review. Since the 2010 peer review, Belgium has reinforced the leadership and management of its institutional system for development co-operation, making it more strategic and taking steps towards delivering more co-ordinated and high quality development co-operation.

Labour market conditions are improving in many OECD countries but the recovery from the recent economic crisis remains very uneven. Employment is still growing too slowly in the OECD area to close the jobs gap induced by the crisis, even by the end of 2016. Consequently, unemployment for the OECD as a whole is projected to continue its slow decline, reaching 6.6% by the end of 2016.
Specific country notes have been prepared using data from the database OECD Health Statistics 2015, July 2015 version. The notes are available in PDF format.

Gender inequality is one of the most primitive and oldest forms of inequality. Sadly, it is still very much a reality in most parts of the world. In many countries women do not have equal access to education, healthcare, safety, work or political decision-making.
Housing conditions in Belgium are among the best in OECD countries according to the Better Life Index, as dwellings are of high quality and large, and housing costs are average.

I love Kate Spade. Most women of my age bracket do. There's just something about her super fun designs and aesthetic that's feminine, yet not super flowery and girly. Personally, I think it has a lot to do with the playful use of color and unexpected design elements. Plus, Kate Spade's liberal use of metallics and glitter just happen to make my heart sing.
We've rounded up 20 really fun and amazing Kate Spade finds that are under $150. These range from jewelry and accessories to stationery to shoes and bags. There are some great gift ideas for the ladies in your life in here, and great items that are under $50. Hint hint nudge nudge.

When does this game come out?
youll probably choose from your friends list, and then your character, then play!
When does this game come out?
late summer/fall i read somewhere on the forums... under, i think metroid galaxY and SSBB
Knowing Nintendo it will proberbly simple and region based or you will have to get their friend code, to me, that wouldnt betrueonline, it would just be dissapointing.
It'll probably have friendcodes without a doubt or make people use their wii code since so many kiddies love the super smash.
I'm hoping they put in a random battle selection so you can face others with just the knowledge of their name like in other DS games.
It'd be cool if they made the online like MPH, so that you can choose to select a random player as your friend you reguraly battle if they're more you're level or just fun to battle.
Last edited by En4Neo; 04-28-2007 at 07:05 PM.
id just be happy with universal codes by region
I've actually had a few dreams about online play for SSBB and one of them included a boss mode in which 4 human players fought against one Super AI like the master hand or something. Sounds fun eh?

Historical Traveler Reviews 69 Manin Street De Luxe Bed & Breakfast Rome
Good Impression Made. Superb Bathroom.
We stayed here for 5 nights, we enjoyed our stay.
Good location, couldn't be better and good view from room. Room was clean and tidy and bathroom was superb. Could have done with a couple of extra bath towel each day, but never mind. Reccomend 69 Manin Street De Luxe B&B to friends and family. Gianni + partener were very pleasant, as was housekeeper. Good impression made.We will hope to come and visit again 69 Manin Street De Luxe B&B.
We love it!
Excellent B&B. we spend more than a week there during our trip in Europe. Of all the B&B we visited in London, Paris and Florence this was the best.
The rooms were all brand new with internet facilities satellite television, dvd player and direct lines.
The bathroom was fantastic even for a 3 star hotel.
The thing that we appreciated more was the cleanness of the place that was immaculate.
however, we spent most of our time sightseeing, and we really much appreciated the central position of the hotel. We were litterally at walking distance from everywhere you wanna be in Rome!
The people in the hotel were very friendly, and very rare for Italy, they spoke perfect english.
I would advise this hotel to all of you.
In case you need further details please do not hesitate to email me.
Very nice place to stay
It's one of the more beautifull b&b I have ever been.
Room were quiet and clean, staff was very very kind and all service, conforts and facilities was on top.
Compiments for the fresh croissants served every morning at breakfast.
I suggest this place to every body.
Exellent ratio quality/price and suberb location!
69maninstreet is not Hotel
I have reserved by agency a room at 69 manin street Hotel 5 stars to stay in Rome. The high level of service that they purport to provide in their website reader's comments was nonexistent. 69maninstreet is not a Hotel..is a number of small rooms. This an over rated with arrogant staff. It appears quaint but it is uncomfortable. Bathrooms are situated a distance from the bed which does not allow for privacy. The street where B&B is located was extremely noisy and has the metallic bus running from 4:00 a.m.
Please check our Website for further reference.
69 Manin Street B&B De Luxe, is duly authorized by the Tourism Promotion Agency of Rome and the Lazio Region that give us the 1st Category De Luxe. And complies with all health and safety standards required by law. 69 Manin Street De Luxe is also a member in good standing of all the major Italian and international tourism and Accommodation industry associations and adheres to their hospitality standards to guarantee you a high-quality, "no surprise" Bed & Breakfast experience.
The aim of the bed and breakfast in that to offer an high quality standard at affordable prices compared to equal level hotels, in a charming, particular and cured environment.
Thank you.
Stay Away!!!!
After having made reservations at 58 Via Cavour six months earlier, the staff emailed me shortly before departure from the US indicating that our reserved room would be at their sister hotel, 69 Manin Street. We were told that the two b&b's occupy an adjoining location. I wasnt bothered by the change since both b&b's seemed to be rated similarly.
The check-in process was smooth and were shown a very nice double room, quiet, with a fantastic bathroom shower. All was going well until our final day. An early morning knock on the door spelled trouble. Apparently, our reservation made six months earlier was not going to be honored for the final day and that we were told that we would have to leave our room and move to another hotel. Evidently, an early morning request for a room for multiple nights was of higher priority than honoring our reservation for a final night made months earlier. Rather than packing up and moving, we changed plans and left Rome for Positano a day early.
I have never been treated this way. The same sort of situation can happen to you. Don't let it. Stay Away!! And 58 Via Cavour is the same owner so beware.
I am the sole owner of 69 manin street. We have nothing in common with
58 Via Cavour. It is only a colleague. He had a mismatch of reservation
and he asked me if I could take his client and I did it for the period
I understand that the customer booked 6 months in advance. However, it
is not my fault if He was not treated as it was expecting. I have just
tried to accommodate his request.
I want to reiterate that we accepted the client only for the days that
we had availability, and we stated that in plain English to the
I believe that this is a problem between the clients and 58 Via Cavour.
We have tried all our best to satisfy a customer of 58 Via Cavour. We
did that up to our availability. However, we could not cancel our
previous reservations for that.
In case we need further details please do not hesitate to ask.
kind regards
Extremely noisy and disappointing
The room and toilet were clean and it is close to Termini Station. However the owners do not stay on the premises and they only come on your arrival to give you all the necessary keys for entrance and instructions, so it's frustrating as your needs arise that there is no on site staff available. We stayed in room 5 which was a triple room but there were only 2 of us and it would be cramped for three adults. We had requested a QUIET room but got a room that faced the street that was extremely noisy and has the streetcars running from 5:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m. directly in front sometimes even making the room vibrate, lots of traffic, dogs barking, 2 hotels across the street that have outdoor cafes that also provide a loud atmosphere. I checked to see if it was possible to change rooms but unfortunately it's a small bed and breakfast and that was not possible. Breakfast consists of donuts or croissants with a key to operate the coffee machine and is only available after 8:30 until around 9:00a.m.. Two out of four mornings at 9:15 there was nothing available for us to eat and no one around to query. This place is located in a building on the 3RD floor with several other tenants living there as well, which accounts for the dogs barking, people yelling etc. Small elevator does not always work and you can only get 1 adult with 1 large suitcase in it at one time. The entrance foyer is also very dirty and dimly lite. The refrigerator is a mini bar so there is no space for your own personal items. The description of this accomodation is very misleading. Air conditioning is turned off by cleaning staff when you are absent so it's extremely hot when you return and it does take awhile before it cools down again. No phone in our room and no one available to ask, same thing when looking for an iron, also not provided within your room. We paid 130 euros per night so I didn't think it would be quite this bad.
Overall we would not recommend this accomodation unless you don't need to sleep, don't care about the breakfast that was supposed to be included and you don't mind that there is no on site personnel to address your concerns as needed.
I would like to reiterate that we are a B&B and not a hotel. Check on Tripadvisor site position or on our web-site:(commercial URL). We are register as Bed & Breakfast. Consequently, we do not have a 24hr concierge service. For this very reason we can offer a cheaper rate compared to the others. The customer paid 130 Euro for three people in a De luxe room with Jacuzzi shower high season in Rome. Please compare the prices with the other Hotels and between our hight standard quality of our rooms. We have rooms compare with a four star Hotel. But at the price of Bed & Breakfast. Because we are a B&B.
Our B&B is not small but it has the larger extensions according to Italian laws.
The concierge is open from 3PM till 10PM. The housekeeper is available from 8AM till 3PM. Fresh Italian Croissant, hot drink, honey, jam, nutella, crispy bread, mineral water, fresh milk, Cereals, juices and Yoghurts are served as a breakfast from 8AM till 11AM.
Our room are totally isolated from external noise by double windows. However, if you leave the windows open you can be subject to a normal backyard noise.
We are open to answers all of your queries.
Thank you for your business.

Torque 3d! is it worth the time and money for an MMO?

Is it worth you buying it? That depends on the next question.
Can 2 guys make an average MMO in 2 years? No. Look at the credits listing for other average MMOs and ask yourselves if you're more talented and experienced that all of those people combined.
How much will servers cost? Assuming you dont do anything fancy to reduce costs: To begin with, $100/mo. If you get Massive players then very quickly $10,000/mo+.

Not saying that two developers can pull off an MMO, but in terms of normalizing costs for an MMO.
It used to be you had to buy massive amounts of physical hardware and bandwidth to run an MMO, you had to purchase for you peak, and frankly, that would generally be launch, when you can least afford it. Virtualization ( like Amazon EC2 or Google App Engine ), changed the game quite a bit and changed things to a more pay as you go structure ( although at certain points *actually* owning the hardware is cheaper ), that is very friendly to new developers.
Now Hero Engine brings hosting into the equation... they provide an engine, hosting services, billing, etc... and take a fixed cut. It's kinda hard to argue with that as a green behind the ears startup. Hero Engine starts from 99$ a year and goes up to 75K + 7% royalty for a source license.
If I was aiming to make an MMO and I only had two guys and 100$, I think I would go Hero Engine in a heart beat over Torque. If you've never heard of it, Hero Engine is the engine that powers Star Wars: The Old Republic.

I don't think torque has the sufficient networking libraries included for making an mmo, of course you can use some of your own in it (sourced elsewhere) but then thats more cost ontop of the servers etc that you'll need.

just for an addition i have not made any real games before for i dont really program which my pal is going to be doing. but ive done visualizations and such using mainly udk and i recently worked in unity 3d for a few months going at android dev which i quit because of the piracy rates soaring more than ever....and the intentions arent to have a full scale massive guild wars 2 mmo hah sweet game but no were just simply trying to accomplish something of this area he enjoys managing the server and logic side of things and me the art so were trying to combine those two and see what we can produce its been one day and i made a decent transition the engine is pretty good soo far so it seams like my new dev environment and but another thing guys, lets say i were to recruit people how many do you think i need to pull off a mid sized mmo in lets say a school environment ?
Hmm, mid sized MMO is what ? 2000 concurrent users per world ? I wouldn't count guildwars as an MMO since its so heavily instanced that it plays more like a normal multiplayer game (Not sure about GW2 since i havn't played it but i'm guessing it is similar to the first one)
As for the number of people you need. it really depends on alot of things, if you use Hero Engine its not that extremely difficult from a technical point of view, the challenge then really is to make enough content to fill a world that is large enough to hold 2000 users without things getting crowded and to create interesting gameplay that works with the constraints you get by sticking a massive number of players in a single world, 2 people might be enough, 30 people might not be enough, it all depends on how much content you need and the complexity of the gameplay itself.

Just a word of advise. If you want to be taken seriously, even on a Game Dev forum, please, you'll get much better response if use proper sentence structure with punctuation and capital letters, as well as breaking the structure into paragraphs.
As for 2 beginners making an MMO, I'm going to tell you to not expect anything for many years. Making an MMO (even a "mid-size" one) is VERY HARD. For game programmers with a decade of experience, it's a difficult task. For beginners, there's much to be learned before tackling MMO's. Good luck going forward, whatever happens.

so im curious why should i just wop out 300 for an engine i cant test "hero engine" im not sure if ill get anywhere with it so yea what am i suppose to do i guess ill go with torque
Just remember that you have to write your own MMO backend (This is the technically challenging part of an MMO) yourself if you go with torque. (Personally i think its worth $100 to avoid this)
From a technical point of view the MMOFPS genre is far more challenging than the MMORPG genre (primarily because of the higher bandwidth usage per player and tighter latency requirements), from the top of my head i can only name 3 MMOFPS games (PlanetSide, World War 2 Online and Dust(not yet released AFAIK) and all of them were made by experienced professional teams.
A MMORPG that is set in a non content intensive setting (space, a frozen or desert world, etc) is far easier to pull off than any MMOFPS.

If you were to go with a regular FPS, possibly single player, possibly team deathmatch like CoD. It would be alot easier for you guys to develop, wouldn't require a large dedicated server all the time (my 0.15mb home internet connection can host 8 players on openarena, not actually had more people available to play with me to test more) and wouldn't require an expensive engine. Hell XNA could do it, UDK could do it, unity3d could do it, you'll be harder pressed to find an engine which can't (other than those that can't do FPSes at all). It would be doable for 2 guys still in school. I do advise that you learn to program though, your buddy might appreciate the help as a game is a large undertaking after all.
You can't just jump into the MMO world, eventually you might be able to start work on your own mmo but I would get a few titles under your belt first, you might well be able to develop it on your home internet connection as a proof of concept aswell before moving it onto dedicated servers. But I think you should start single player, stick some multiplayer in eventually (32 players max really) before you even think about researching mmo technologies.
I know your confused but do work on english and grammar. This is a multi-national forum and if we can understand your post a bit clearer then we can aid you in getting the help you need a little better.

lets say we go with 6677 max 32 players per map then would UDK be the perfect tool for me i honestly love using it. but as for the online parts of things i have yet to venture it out and btw u guys have been great with the info thx
Yes UDK should be able to go up to 32 players on a cheap server without much problems, (You could probably go up towards or just above 200 on a good server but beyond that you start to need a proper MMO backend and possibly multiple physical machines for each game (This is where things get both expensive and complicated))
You can still have things like persistant characters, stats, etc that are shared between servers fairly easily as long as you can trust all server hosts.

For 179 us $ you get access to all the source codes of the engine, no royalties and a pretty fine online documentation but prepare yourself for a very steep learning curve with T3D.
For me the choice was very obvious so I choose T3D and I have not regret that until now. I used to play around with Unity but I am not paying 1500 us $ for a pro version where I do not get access to all the engine source code.
UDK is a fine engine but the royalty policy is a real turn off so I find T3D engine to be best fit for low budget indies.
So to answer your question, yes T3D is absolutly worth every penny
List of games made with Torque: https://www.garagegames.com/games/3d-games
MMO game made with Torque(older version than T3D): http://www.prairiegames.com/
You can make an MMO with T3D if you got the skill, manpower, talent and economic resources.
T3D is a really versatile engine(well most engines are if one gets access to the source code) in that sense that if you know how to twist and bend the engine through programming in C++ you will be able create almost anything you like.
You should really try it out. I simply love this engine and the possibilities it has given me. Just prepare youself to hack it and twist it through the source codes when you wish to change this FPS engine(becuase that is what it is out of the box).

I agree with You dwarf king 100% but um 25% isnt the actual royalty it says that in the license but its actually alot less just send them a mail and you'll get a smaller number and as for torque im going along fine with it all i really had to do is find my way around and the docs helped out enough along with my previous knowledge with game dev, even though its a bit more manual in some places unlike udk and unity or even cry engine it does the job.hah just a side note i wonder what the end user's specs would have to be to run a cry-engine mmo on the smaller size. The secret world wants 6 series gpu's losing some potential customers if i cant run it on lower specs there ,but yeh thanks allot dwarf king you really did reassure me that ill be fine with this but u said torque only supports 32 players is that a mistake? and i read udk does max 64 unless u do some digging and grinding in some dark places to allow it to do mmo's which it wasn't suppose too ;) hah not to say it cant be done APB used to be one of my favorite games that used UE but yeh whats next .
No as far as I know it only supports up to 32 out of the box(yes I do not aim for multi-player at the moment ). If you want better than that then you will need a good network programmer that can work with the source code of T3D as far as I have understood from Garagegames forums and website. So out of the box it is not a MMO engine(making an MMO is really a "no go" for only two people).
Anyway it has been done by big teams as I showed here http://www.prairiegames.com/ Just remember they were not only two people
Why not a small rpg for a start?

Plenty of games have been sold commercially using it (many AAA, gears of war, assasins creed etc) and a royalty based license is actually quite useful for developing games, plus if its a free game theres no payment required.
You say you've played with it already so you should actually be ok, plus theres loads of tutorials and free samples available.

Lennox Lewis Chooses Vitali To Win
By Rick Reeno
Lennox Lewis has changed his mind on who he thinks will win the coming Saturday's heavyweight showdown between Vitali Klitschko and Danny Williams.
Originally, Lewis picked Danny Williams to defeat Vitali Klitschko and told the UK press that Williams had the tools to snatch the WBC heavyweight title.
Now, after looking at some fight figures and reviewing some tapes, Lewis tells BBC Radio that he now feels the champion VItali Klitschko will get the win. Lewis thinks the height and reach factor will be too much for Danny to overcome.
"Just looking at the fight and the statistics, I realise that Klitschko has a big advantage. Danny is going into the fight with a lot of things against him." said Lewis
"What he (Williams) needs to do if he really wants it, is go after Klitschko, to get inside and hit him to the body Then, if he can hit him on the face and open up a cut, perhaps he can win the fight that way."
Lewis once again put it on the record that he is not returning to Boxing for any amount of money.
"At some point in your life, you have to think about your health and future, so whatever they offer me to fight won't be enough. I can just sit back and watch them and say: 'Been there, done that.'"

President Obama and other advocates of sweeping health care reform contend that much of its cost can be covered by "savings" from the elimination of Medicare waste and fraud. But considering the colossal scale of those losses, why should the taxpaying public imagine that a massive new federal health care entitlement wouldn't be ripe for similar inefficiency -- and similar corruption?
A prominent television network news operation reported Sunday night that Medicare "provides a rich and steady income stream for criminals who are constantly finding new ways to steal a sizable chunk of the half trillion dollars that are paid out each year" in the system's benefits. The story cited up to $60 billion a year in Medicare fraud as raising "some troubling questions about our government's ability to manage a medical bureaucracy."
That wasn't another Fox News scoop undermining an Obama administration initiative. That was an instructive exclusive from CBS' "60 Minutes," featuring expert insights from Miami-based FBI Special Agent Brian Waterman, who told correspondent Steve Kroft:
"There's a health care fraud industry where people do nothing but recruit patients, get patient lists, find doctors, look on the Internet, find different scams. There are entire groups and entire organizations of people that are dedicated to nothing but committing fraud, finding a better way to steal from Medicare."
Though the specifics of those evolving "better ways" vary widely, they generally boil down to falsifying documentation that routinely -- and far too easily -- fools government bureaucrats.
And as The Washington Post's Fred Hiatt points out in his column on this page, Congress has a lousy track record in controlling Medicare costs.
Florida, as a haven for retirees, is a predictable hotbed for Medicare schemes involving insurance companies, patients, doctors, hospitals and scam artists who have learned how to game the system for big bucks. But the Sunshine State holds no monopoly on this dark con.
Mr. Kroft reported that the City of Angels Medical Center in Los Angeles "recruited homeless people off the street to fill their empty beds, offering them cash and drugs plus clean sheets and three square meals a day, while billing Medicare tens of millions of dollars for their stay."
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told "60 Minutes" that Medicare is "a major fraud area" -- and said the Justice Department is upgrading its efforts to clean it up.
Fine. The sooner, the better. We shouldn't have to wait for an overall health care overhaul to crack down on Medicare fraud.
But keep this incredibly expensive crime wave in mind when pondering repeated cries of "Medicare for all" on behalf of an allegedly cost-cutting "public option" for government medical insurance.

Edge storage is a technology used in Axis network cameras and video encoders that enables video recording directly to an onboard SD™ card or a network-attached storage (NAS) device. Edge storage makes it possible to design flexible and reliable recording solutions, optimize bandwidth usage, and lower the cost for remote site recording.
Decentralized storage is supported by AXIS Companion. It is also supported in software from Axis Application Development Partners Exacq Technologies and Genetec.
Decentralized storage
Edge storage eliminates the need and cost for an on-site server, DVR, NVR or PC for recorded video. It offers an affordable remote site recording solution wherever bandwidth is limited or absent. High quality images are stored on the camera SD card, replacing the need for an onsite server. Typical applications are single-site or multi-site installations such as a retail store/chain or branch office(s), temporary monitoring of construction sites, and mobile onboard surveillance.
Scenario #1
Temporary local storage of recorded video. Images are then transferred to a central server on demand, on schedule or in case of an event.
Scenario #2
Completely self-contained local video recording and storage. High quality video is permanently stored on the camera's SD card. View live or recorded video from your PC or a handheld device. Supported by AXIS Companion.
Redundancy with fail-over recording
Edge storage offers fail-over recording if the camera loses connection with the central server. Fail-over recording means that images can be temporarily stored on the SD card on board the camera in case of network failure. This functionality provides increased system reliability and safeguards system operation. Typical applications are mission critical installations, or video surveillance where network coverage is limited or intermittent.
Fail-over recording is supported by AXIS Camera Station. It is also supported in software from Axis Application Development Partners Aimetis, ipConfigure, Genetec and Milestone.
Low bandwidth
Edge storage allows for bandwidth optimization in applications where bandwidth is limited. The user or an operator can view live video in in low resolution, while recording HDTV quality images locally on the camera. Typical applications are when using mobile viewing aps or in large scale systems such as city surveillance.
Bandwidth optimization is supported by AXIS Companion using Axis Mobile Streaming. It is also supported in software from Axis Application Development Partner Genetec.
How much storage do I need?
The retention time of the card depends on how the cameras are configured to record at different frame rates and resolutions, depending on motion detection, alarm events and hours of the day.
|1 week
|30 fps
|15 fps
|2 weeks
|10 fps
|5 fps
|4 weeks
|5 fps
|2 fps
The above has been calculated using the Axis Design Tool – Stairway scene. For full details and to calculate other scenes, please see Axis Design Tool.
Use case: For a small retail store with approximately 8 hours of recordings per day, a 64 GB SD card can store between 2-4 weeks of video. To attain a specific retention time for a 64 GB SD card, the frame rates and resolutions need to be configured accordingly. This table presents the maximum frames per second (fps) for two different resolutions:

CEO Patrick Kerpan presenting paper at Cloud Expo Europe: Software Defined Data Centers will Change the Way Enterprises Migrate and Deploy Cloud-Based Applications
London, United Kingdom – Jan 29, 2013 – CohesiveFT, a thought leader in enterprise application-to-cloud migration and software defined networking (SDN), released their latest whitepaper to be presented at Cloud Expo Europe.
The whitepaper is entitled "Software Defined Data Centers will Change the Way Enterprises Migrate and Deploy Cloud-Based Applications" and focuses on the new term for the concept of freeing the application layer from the physical infrastructure layer. The paper begins with an analysis of the term and offers a point of view for the future of SDDC features with more fine grained, targeted concept. You can view the Whitepaper at: cohesiveft.com/dnld/Point_of_View_Software_Defined_Data_Center.pdf
"The point is that all of the work that's been done to virtualize the datacenter/system components – CPU, storage, network, apps, OS - has to date, resulted mostly in islands or silos of virtualization, and especially vendor-specific landscapes. Now, increasingly heterogeneous virtualized elements can be combined and aggregated into logical resources with Software Defined Data Centres," wrote William Fellows, Research Vice President at 451 Research. "The concept of CFT's container SDDC fits well with metaphor – containers arrive at docks and are craned into configurations."
Cloud Expo Europe in London: 29 – 30 January
CohesiveFT is a Silver sponsor of Cloud Expo, hosted at London's Olympia National Hall, 29 – 30 January. In addition to presenting the whitepaper, CohesiveFT's CEO, Patrick Kerpan, will also:
- Present on the topic of "Bring It All" - How Service Providers can improve customer satisfaction, decrease manual support, and increase customer retention through the Bring Your Own revolution on Tuesday, 29 January from 4:45pm – 5:10pm.
- Join an all-star panel to discuss 'Why the least important thing about Cloud is Technology' on Tuesday, 29 January at 2:20pm.
