This is my first thread so bare with me.
My baby, Clara, is 10 days old. She is my second daughter. I breastfed my first daughter for 3 weeks, but that was 4 and a half years ago. Well, my problem is that the past few days I have dreaded nursing my baby on my right breast. Both nipples hurt so bad. My right breast however hurts with every little suck that she takes. On my left it hurts at first but then it goes away. Another thing I noticed was that at the end of my nipple, the part closer to the aereola, is swollen. I don't know what I'm doing wrong or what I can do to remedy this.
My doctor gave me Lansinoh ointment before I left the hospital (doesn't work).
I 've tried breaking her suction and letting her latch on again, that doesn't work either.
I'm so frustrated. It hurts so bad that it makes me want to cry...

Stray dogs-Animal Control Officer: Contact Shayla Howe 413-522-2632 (leave message)
Dead animals in the public roadway: Contact Bill Turner, Highway Superintendent, Telephone 268-8405.
Animal bites to humans or domestic animals, wild animals suspected of carrying rabies, or injured wild animals: Contact Don Lawton, Animal Inspector, Telephone 268-7487.
Fox, porcupine, coyote, moose, bear, raccoons, skunks, and many other mammals occupy an important niche in rural environments. However, these animals are wild and should never be encouraged near humans or domestic animals. DO NOT approach, touch or feed wild animals on your property. Keep animal food and watering bowls INSIDE. Keep trash secured and out of reach of wild animals.
Unfortunately, the Animal Control Officer is not able to assist with wild "nuisance" animals on private property.
Sick or dying birds, particularly blue jays, robins and crows, may carry West Nile Virus, as may mosquitoes. If you find a dead bird DO NOT TOUCH THE BIRD with bare hands. Bury the bird or double-bag it and dispose of in the trash. Please do not refrigerate, freeze, or keep dead birds for testing unless instructed to do so by the Dead Bird Hotline. If you have come into contact with a dead bird, or any dead animal, wash your hands!
Town officials are often asked "Can I raise chickens here? What rules apply?
Of the many answers available, rule number one is: be a good neighbor.
One man's chicken may be another man's nuisance.
Mass General Law authorizes the town Board of Health to look into and remove sources of nuisances, or otherwise address any nuisance complaint. With increasing frequency, complaints to the Board have been animal-based as people respond to the "green" movement, or head toward a more subsistence-based economy.
Some examples of "nuisances" I have addressed with the Board of Health include: roosters crowing at 4:30 a.m. in a thickly settled neighborhood, unattended manure piles causing odors, flies, and filthy conditions, or chickens/roosters crossing the road. Why did the chicken cross the road, you ask? Answer: so your taxes can be raised to pay for the legal fees created to chase after non-compliant rooster owners.
So, here are some simple ways to keep out of the spotlight of town officials, stay happy with the neighbors, and keep your chickens from going afoul (forgive me):
* Talk with your neighbors before setting up a chicken coop. This common courtesy
may positively impact your chicken-raising experience.
* Purchase only "sex-linked" chicks. These are a bit more expensive, but it virtually guarantees you will get only hens, not roosters.
* Follow good manure maintenance practices, keep the piles small, compost properly, cover manure with soil regularly, and otherwise keep odors and flies to a minimum.
* Maintain the chicken coop and fencing to avoid wayward birds getting loose and terrorizing the neighborhood.
* Should you end up with a rooster, keep him closed up (coop windows closed) until the neighborhood is well awake. If you have an unwanted rooster, call me and I will try to find him a home. If you have small children, you will definitely not want a rooster in the yard.
Many chicken coops, even those in thickly settled neighborhoods, are so unobtrusive the neighbors don't even know they are in the vicinity. Strive for that. Enjoy your chickens and you may never have to meet me except when I purchase eggs.
I might be able to help you with other information. Call me if you have a question.
Valerie Bird
Town Health Agent
(413) 268-8404
Massachusetts General Law requires the annual inspection and censusing of farm animals by the Animal Inspector, Don Lawton.
If you have concerns not addressed here, contact the Health Agent at 268-8404. Thank you.

innovationXchange is DFAT's development innovation hub.
To help Australians avoid difficulties overseas, we maintain travel advisories for more than 170 destinations.
The Australian Passport Office and its agents are committed to providing a secure, efficient and responsive passport service for Australia.
The information you provide will help us contact you in an emergency.
Thank you for considering a career with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
The department's purpose is to help make Australia stronger, safer and more prosperous by promoting and protecting our interests internationally and contributing to global stability and economic growth.
The department provides foreign, trade and development policy advice to the government. We work with other government agencies to ensure that Australia's pursuit of its global, regional and bilateral interests is coordinated effectively.
To carry out this mandate, the department employs over 4,000 people on a permanent basis, of whom about 800 are serving overseas at any one time. We also employ a large number of locally engaged staff at our overseas missions.

The department operates in a complex and highly dynamic international environment. We look for, and value in our employees:
DFAT values statement
Top of page
There are several different avenues for entering the department. Each year, we conduct several general recruitment rounds for foreign and trade policy and corporate generalists, as well as ad hoc specialist rounds.
Our policy and corporate graduate programs are a popular avenue for both new graduates and others.
We also recruit Indigenous graduates, cadets and trainees.
We employ non-ongoing (temporary) employees to fill short-term vacancies in Canberra and our State and Territory offices.
It is also possible to work for an Australian embassy, high commission or consulate overseas by responding to one of their 'locally engaged staff' (LES) advertisements. All LES recruitment is managed by the relevant post.
The department manages an overseas network of around 95 embassies, high commissions, consulates-general and multilateral missions. Some of these are large missions with more than 100 Australian-based staff including staff from attached agencies such as Treasury or the Department of Defence. Others are small, some with just one or two Australian-based staff.
Ongoing (permanent) employees of the department can apply for overseas postings, which are usually for a period of three years. Employees are not required to go on postings, although for most officers postings are an integral part of their service with the department.
Working overseas is one of the most interesting and challenging parts of a DFAT employee's career. Overseas service provides unique professional and personal opportunities, which most staff and their families find extremely rewarding.
However, there are a number of factors relating to overseas service that potential employees should carefully consider before contemplating a career with DFAT. Issues to consider are:
We are committed to building a workforce that reflects the diversity of the Australian community. Our recruitment decisions are made on the basis of merit and we do not discriminate on the grounds of gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion or disability. Our employees enjoy equity and fairness in the workplace, opportunities for professional development, and support to balance their work and private lives.
The department is committed to providing equal employment opportunities, access, equity and social inclusion for all employees, and in particular for the following groups:
Suitably qualified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians are strongly encouraged to apply for any of our advertised vacancies.
In support of the government's Closing the Gap: Indigenous Economic Participation Agreement, the department is committed to increasing recruitment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, including through the use of the APS Special Measures provision. See our Indigenous Recruitment page for more information.
We aim to be an Australian Public Service leader in bringing about an inclusive Australian society. To achieve this vision, we encourage the participation and contribution of people with disability to inform DFAT policies and will work together with stakeholders to make DFAT not just an employer of choice for employees with disability, but a model employer in the Australian Public Service.
We strongly encourage suitably qualified people with disability to apply for our advertised vacancies. We aim to provide a work environment which is inclusive, supportive and safe for employees with disability.
More information: Disability Action Strategy 2017-2020.
It is our policy to make reasonable adjustments for employees with disability and for people with disability who are applicants for employment. If you need assistance or adjustments to fully participate in the application/interview process, please contact:
Employment opportunities will not be denied to anyone because of the need to make reasonable adjustment for a person's disability.
Employees' personal circumstances are taken into account in overseas posting decisions and the department does not require employees with disability to serve in locations where local infrastructure and services do not meet their needs.
The department offers competitive salaries and conditions. Our terms and conditions of employment are set out in the DFAT Enterprise Agreement (PDF 873 KB) | (Word 515 KB).
The standard terms and conditions of employment for all ongoing DFAT employees include flexible working hours, a comprehensive superannuation scheme and generous leave provisions, including:
Under the Public Service Act 1999, all employees of the department must be Australian citizens.
Working for the department both in Australia and overseas requires the highest standards of conduct. Exemplary ethical conduct on the part of the department's employees contributes significantly to the standing of the department in Australia and overseas and the overall effectiveness of its work.
Employees are required to uphold the Australian Public Service (APS) Values and comply with the APS Code of Conduct as enshrined in the Public Service Act 1999. Employees also need to comply with the department's Code of Conduct for Overseas Service, which takes account of the particular significance of the department's representational role outside Australia.
Pursuant to Section 22 (6) of the Public Service Act 1999, a security clearance is a condition of employment for employees of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
All employees are required to undergo comprehensive security clearance processing prior to commencement with the department, and every five years thereafter. The department will conduct the security clearance process for successful candidates. This process consists of several steps and can take approximately six months to complete. In addition to providing detailed and comprehensive financial, relationship and other information, preferred candidates for vacancies will be required to give their written consent for the department and the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) to conduct their own detailed background checks and enquiries.
If a preferred candidate is not successful in obtaining a security clearance, his/her offer of employment with the department will be withdrawn. Once a person has been appointed to the department, loss of a security clearance at any time will result in the termination of the person's employment.
All employees commencing work in the Australian Public Service must pass a standard medical/fitness examination. Information about this examination will be provided to successful applicants with their commencement papers.
We need staff with comprehensive professional skills and knowledge, strong leadership and management ability, and a high level of integrity and ethical behaviour. We recognise the key role of targeted and effective training in ensuring the high calibre of our staff. This is reflected in our quality training and development program and the integration of training as a key component of our performance management system.
The department's extensive training program includes core competency courses such as speech writing, negotiation skills, budgets and planning and presentation skills. We also run a regular series of in-house seminars on issues in contemporary Australian foreign, trade and consular policy.
Our capacity to speak the languages of our key trading and strategic partners is critical to our success in pursuing Australia's national interests in the international arena. In addition to pre-posting language training, the department offers regular conversation classes in various languages and periodic 'key language' immersion courses for staff.
Training delivery methods are wide-ranging and include a mixture of internal seminars, courses run by external consultants and e-learning.
The Australian Trade Commission (Austrade), Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR), and Australian Export Finance and Insurance Corporation (EFIC) are also part of the Government's Foreign Affairs and Trade portfolio. However, each agency runs its own independent recruitment program, details of which can be found on their websites.

This was the second time that we have used Mirreen to babysit for our two boys (3 years old and 18 months old). She has a warm, calm manner and the boys took to her straight away. The first time, I had to leave during their dinner, and although there were some tears from the youngest, Mirreen told me that she was able to calm and distract him within a few moments and they went to bed happy. The second time, both boys were happily playing and we managed to leave with absolutely no fuss, so they clearly already feel very at home with her. We'll certainly use her again.
This was the first time we'd left our two children with a sitter to bath and put them to bed and we couldn't have been more pleased. We were a little nervous, but Anthonia was lovely, and immediately set about entertaining both our boys. This meant we were able to leave the house with out them barely noticing and put our mind absolutely at rest! She managed to get them both through the bath, into bed - something my wife and I often struggle with - and sleeping soundly. We would highly recommend Anthonia and will definitely use her again.
Selda was marvellous, such a lovely lady who our little 22month old took to immediately. She arrived early which was much appreciated and she took over straight away. A highly experienced Nanny and we knew right from the moment she arrived that our son was in safe and happy hands. I would highly recommend Selda and hope she sits for us again. And I know our son would be very pleased to see her again, they played lots of games, went out for 2 long walks which he loves and got on like a house on fire. Huge thanks.

The 10 Myths of Retirement Planning
by AAII Staff
Retirement planning requires a clear-eyed analysis of future needs and income. Yet many individuals view retirement through rose-colored glasses.
Here are some of the most common myths and how you can bring reality into focus.
Myth #1: You will not need as much money during retirement as you do now.
The general rule of thumb says that you will need approximately 70% of your pre-retirement income in order to maintain a lifestyle similar to that which you currently have. This may be true if you live your current lifestyle. However, when you retire, you will have more free time for travel, leisure activities, hobbies, and other things you might like to do during your retirement years.
In addition, medical expenses will increase at a faster rate than they likely did during your pre-retirement years.
Also, your overall tax rate may not drop very much.
Myth #2: My retirement years won't last all that long.
The fact is, today individuals in their 50s and 60s are generally healthier than previous generations. Currently, if you are age 65 your life expectancy is approximately 21 years, which is a long time to plan for. And you may live longer than you may think. A "life expectancy" of 21 years means you have a 50% chance of dying by year 21-and a 50% chance of living longer.
Myth #3: You can afford to start planning for your retirement a few years before your retirement date.
In fact, it is never too soon to begin planning for your retirement. Time is one of the most powerful tools in the accumulation of wealth. The sooner you start to accumulate assets and plan for your retirement years, the better—the less you will need to set aside each year in order to achieve the same objective.
In order to achieve your various financial objectives, you need to have an active savings and investment program. This should be geared not only for your retirement years but also for the large obligations you believe will be coming up in the future such as college funding, weddings, etc. You should start to discuss and set specific goals for your financial independence at least 25 years ahead of time.
Myth #4: Social Security will provide enough income for my retirement years.
The fact is that Social Security accounts for approximately 38% of the average retiree's income. Although increases in benefits have occurred and may continue to occur, it is likely they may become less generous than they have in the past.
In addition, the age that you must reach in order to receive full retirement benefits is increasing over the next few years. Thus, it is becoming ever more important for you to accumulate your own funds in addition to whatever the government programs can provide. Social Security should be considered a supplemental benefit to your retirement financial planning and not the foundation on which it should be built.
Myth #5: I have my pension plan to provide for my retirement income and will not need any additional savings.
The truth is that without planning well in advance, it will be difficult to tell whether your pension, combined with Social Security, will or will not achieve your financial objectives.
If you are at a company that offers a defined-benefit plan, your retirement benefit will be a monthly income stream based on some percentage of your salary during the last few years of your employment at the firm and the number of years you worked there. However, most employees do not stay with one employer for a long period of time and are unable to accumulate much in earned benefits. In addition, many employers have replaced defined-benefit plans with 401(k) plans, allowing employees more say in the management of these funds.
It will be increasingly important for you to make the proper investment decisions if you are to achieve the accumulation level you need in order to live the lifestyle you would like during your retirement years.
Myth #6: Medicare will take care of my health insurance.
Typically, Medicare pays less than half of a retiree's medical bills, and you usually cannot start collecting this until age 65. In addition, many employers are cutting back on medical coverage for retirees due to the cost. You will need to look at and plan for the costs involved for your health insurance during the retirement years and consider Medicare supplements and possibly long-term care insurance coverage. These are costs that many current workers never had, or incurred minimally, during their working years but which will be a major part of their annual budget in retirement.
Myth #7: All of my assets are in safe vehicles for long-term accumulation and do not need to be watched closely.
The fact is that all investments need to be watched. And that is true whether you are invested in more volatile but higher-long-term-growth stocks, or less volatile but lower-returning fixed-income investments. The loss of purchasing power can be a devastating risk to deal with because it happens gradually over a long period of time and many times goes unnoticed year to year. The only thing you know is that things seem to get a little bit tighter each year, but you still try to make it. By the time you realize you need to make major adjustments, it is almost too late.
Myth #8: I can always use the equity in my home to add to my retirement income.
While it is possible that this could occur, it is unlikely that this will add much to your retirement income, especially without making you extremely uncomfortable. Some areas of the country have seen price drops in homes at various time periods. In addition, other costs to maintain your home such as property taxes, repair costs, etc., will tend to increase. If you do use your home to supplement your retirement income, remember to take advantage of all the tax breaks available to you, especially when downsizing.
Myth #9: If need be, my family can always help me out.
The fact is that many people use this as an excuse for delaying retirement planning. But, in reality, no one wants to rely on other family members to help them financially fund their retirement years. If anything, these are the years when you want true financial independence and do not want to feel as if you are a burden on your family.
Myth #10: Money is everything when it comes to retirement planning.
Nothing could be further from the truth! While money is important, it is the lifestyle decisions that are really the most important concerns for your retirement years. Money is important in that it is needed in order to finance the lifestyle decisions you make. For that reason, it is important to plan as early as possible for funding the lifestyle you would like to lead.

While trying to keep myself amused during the interminable wait until the start of the NLCS on Saturday, I came across this little tidbit online:
Huff's underwear providing inspiration
SAN FRANCISCO — With the playoffs now in full swing, it's only fitting the Giants' most valuable article of clothing gets its just due on the national stage.
Welcome to the big show, Aubrey Huff's rally thong.
Since Aug. 30, the Giants first baseman has worn a red thong in hopes of rallying San Francisco to its first postseason appearance in seven years. When Huff first graced the clubhouse with his thong's presence, the Giants were 72-59 and six games behind first-place San Diego in the National League West.
Huff predicted the Giants would go 20-10 with the rally thong and, wouldn't you know it, that's exactly how they finished the season en route to being crowned division champs.
After a run like that, Huff's thong isn't going anywhere.
"It's just something to kind of loosen the guys up when it started, and it turned out to be kind of a nice run," Huff said before Friday's Game 2. "I couldn't stop and I'm wearing it right now, if you're interested. Kinda get used to it. You know what I'm saying?"
He's been wearing a thong?
Well, let's just file this one under "Things I Wish I Didn't Know". I'm still trying to rid my mind of the unpleasant images this has conjured up:
I'm now about to veer dangerously close to "Too Much Information" territory, but personally I don't see how this can possibly be comfortable while playing baseball. In my opinion, thongs aren't even comfortable while standing still, let alone running or batting. It's total butt floss! And how could a thong possibly provide enough, uh, "coverage" for a man?
And it's red! Hey Aubrey, red = Phillies!
Hmm, Aubrey is one of those unisex names; maybe he's a little confused? Or he wants to make sure he doesn't have any visible panty/brief lines during the game.🙂
Wonder if he uses Sisqó's "Thong Song" as his at-bat music?
[for the record, I do NOT know the man in the photo – this is a random dude in a pic I found doing a Google search]
10 Comments
You're right. This is too much information territory. Ewwww!!!
Not another rally thong! Jason Giambi used to wear his gold thong and pass it around the clubhouse. Talk about euuwwww.
Jane, I'd forgotten about the gold thong! What IS it with these guys wearing thongs?
yep…Jason Giambi came to mind. Banana Hammock..I don't know if that's Austailian for a manThong…but it sure as hell sounds funnier with a Foster's in me.
OMG! Euwww! yep TMI. I hope the red works in the Phillies phavor.
Beat the JINTS!
I love Huff Daddy and the Rally Thong. I cannot wait for Saturday…
The Three Bs
"Your Playoff Beard is Weird."
Let's look at the facts: Thong – Giants player – San Francisco – I think that is all we needed to know to figure out they're just weird
TBS was talking about this during one of the games. I had to turn the sound off… listening to those guys talk about thongs… on a man no less… was not a good way to gain fan loyalty😉
Mike – "banana hammock" LOL! Thanks for the slang lesson. Who knew blogging could be so enlightening?😉
Emma – The Phillies and I thank you for your support! I hope we can beat the "Jints" for you.
Shaun – I too am looking forward to Saturday. Great pitching matchup, and the thong is going DOWN!🙂
Peter – Good point!
Jeff – I think I heard part of that game on TV. I had it on in the background while I was doing other stuff. Of course, it stuck in my mind, which is why I went searching for it this week.
Now I have reason to laugh and point at him whenever he comes to bat. And I will. Would love if the whole stadium would, too. =) Can you see that? Would be so great…
Anyhow, that is just about as gross a picture as I ever hope to see. God help me!
About your comment concerning Jamie Moyer: I so agree with you. I'd love to see him pursue coaching. Obviously he loves teaching. His problem COULD be the giving of too much info any pitcher under his care but he could curb that if he tries. (he's a talker, right?)

Call Of Duty 2011 Isn't Sledgehammer's "Action-Adventure" Call Of Duty Game
There's some understandable confusion about what's happening to Call of Duty after the Treyarch-developed Call of Duty is released later in 2010.

Internal Activision Memo Says Infinity Ward "Central To Call Of Duty's Future"
I've obtained an internal memo penned by Activision Publishing president and CEO Mike Griffith that just released to Activision employees at the same time as the press release about the future of Infinity Ward and Call of Duty.

The future of Infinity Ward might be determined in the next few hours.

3 Things You Should Know About Small Business: Oct. 10
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- What's happening in small business today?
1. Super-small-business owners favor Obama. Another day, another political poll about which presidential candidate is favored by small-business owners. Today's poll, released by SohoOS, a free online business-management tool for microbusiness owners and freelancers, says microbusiness owners (those with fewer than five employees or no employees at all) favor President Obama over Republican candidate Mitt Romney.
The survey polled 592 microbusiness owners. It was conducted between Oct. 3-9.
The survey found that 43% of microbusiness owners plan to vote for President Obama, compared with 35% for Romney. More than 70% cited the economy, taxes and health care as "very important" in their decision-making. Nearly 12% are undecided on their choice for president a month away from Election Day, the survey found.
"Small business has become a top topic in the U.S. presidential election," said Ron Daniel, founder and CEO of SohoOS. "So we sought to uncover the sentiment of the smallest businesses in America, from plumbers to photographers to jewelry makers to consultants -- businesses that have been hit hard in the past four years. There are 30 million of these 'microbusinesses' in the U.S. that have between one and five employees and are critical to the growth of the U.S. economy. They believe that Obama is the better choice for their businesses."
Interestingly, the majority of respondents also said they were frustrated with their local congressional representative. About 55% indicated that their U.S. senator and representative do not represent the interests of small businesses.
The SohoOS survey contradicts another recent poll by Wave Accounting in which the Romney/Ryan ticket was favored by small-business owners.
That survey polled its 1,331 U.S.-based Wave customers that were employed at or owned a small business with 10 employees or fewer, including solo entrepreneurs, consultants and freelancers, to get their opinions on each candidate's potential impact on small business.
2. EPA and USDA embrace small contractors. The Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Agriculture are two government agencies that are embracing small contractors. Under greater pressure by the Obama administration to secure contracts with small businesses, the two agencies have been able to break through some of the barriers that existed with this type of contracting and were highlighted by Federal News Radio .
Last year, nearly 70% of the EPA's subcontracts went to small firms and it exceeded its prime contract goal of 42%. Last year, the USDA reached its small-business contracting goal. More than 52% of prime contracts went to small businesses, according to the article.
The success of both agencies is partly due to greater internal awareness.
The EPA and USDA each have a specific "Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization" and use small-business specialists throughout the agencies, especially at the beginning of any project, the article says.

Green Mountain Coffee says sales strongSTAFF REPORT | February 07,2013WATERBURY Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. has reported positive first-quarter results.
The Waterbury-based company said Wednesday its net sales were $1.3 billion for a 13-week period ending Dec. 29, up from $1.158 billion for the same quarter the previous year.
Our strong first-quarter performance underscores the connection consumers have to their Keurig brewers; the soundness of our business model; and the value inherent in our brand portfolio, said Brian P. Kelley, GMCRs president and CEO, in a statement.
Single-serve portion packets made up the bulk of sales, amounting to $863.7 million worth of product, a 21 percent increase from the same period the previous year. Sales of brewers and accessories totaled $377.3 million, an increase of 14 percent. Other products and royalties decreased by 12 percent to $98.1 million.
The number of brewers sold was 4.95 million, an increase of 18 percent over the prior year period, but that amount doesnt include returns.
Kelley, a former Coca-Cola executive who started at the end of last year, said there is untapped potential for the Keurig single-serve brand in the U.S. and globally. The company has formed an international business unit.
We are in the early days of a marked evolution in how consumers purchase, prepare and customize hot beverages in their homes, Kelley said in the statement.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

The UK government has been debating illegal disclosures of patient health data: "The issue of which organisations have acquired medical records has been at the centre of political debate in the past few weeks, following reports that actuaries, pharmaceutical firms, government departments and private health providers had either attempted or obtained patient data."
The article closes with quotes from Phil Booth of medConfidential:
- "Every day another instance of whole population level data being sold emerges which had been previously denied".
- "There is no way for the public to tell that this data has left the HSCIC. The government and NHS England must now come completely clean. Anything less than full disclosure would be a complete betrayal of trust."
Far worse privacy violations are the norm in the US, yet our government won't acknowledge that US health IT systems enable hidden sales and sharing of patients' health data. US patients are prevented from controlling who sees their health records and can't obtain real-time lists of who has seen and used personal health data.
Learn how the data broker industry violates Americans' strong rights to control the use of personal health information in IMS Health Holdings' SEC filing for an IPO:
- IMS buys and aggregates sensitive "prescription and promotional" records, "electronic medical records," "claims data," "social media" and more to create "comprehensive," "longitudinal" health records on "400 million" patients.
- All purchases and subsequent sales of personal health records are hidden from patients. Patients are not asked for informed consent or given meaningful notice.
- IMS Health Holdings sells health data to "5,000 clients," including the US Government.
- IMS buys "proprietary data sourced from over 100,000 data suppliers covering over 780,000 data feeds globally."
Data brokers claim they don't violate our rights to health information privacy because our data are "de-identified" or "anonymized"—-but computer scientists have proven it's easy to re-identify aggregated, longitudinal data sets:
- See brief 3-page paper by Narayanan and Shmatikov at: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~shmat/shmat_cacm10.pdf)
- See Prof. Sweeney's paper on re-identifying patient data sold by states like WA at: http://thedatamap.org/risks.html

The Filibuster
Despite the late-inning dramatics and clutch hitting by Team America,
the World Baseball Classic will be especially notable to MLB managers
because of the rash of injuries that has hit the players. With
important team leaders like Chipper Jones, Kevin Youkilis and Ryan
Braun suffering injuries, how do you think this will effect teams'
decisions to let their players participate next time around?
— Allen
A wise woman (my mother) once said, "Jeff, nobody's perfect. Tom Cruise comes close but just look at how screwed up he is. Still, Tom is about as close as you can get."
The World Baseball Classic, still in its infancy, is similar in that it has yet to find the perfect balance of entertainment and logic. We, the viewers, cannot expect it to be the perfect international tournament it aims to be — not yet at least.
There are naysayers. There are those who feel the Classic is a colossal waste of time. There are general managers and agents and players and pundits who see it as a liability more than an asset. And I understand their points of view.
If I were Omar Minaya or Theo Epstein or Frank Wren and I was forced to watch my best players risk injury in the name of a "friendly" tournament with seemingly zero tangible gain, I guess I would be a little ticked off too. But I believe the World Baseball Classic is more than just a King Bud money machine meant to get more people interested in Major League Baseball around the world. To me, it is a showcase of the most talented players on the planet: a baseball bravura boasting a playoff-like atmosphere during the most boring weeks of spring training.
And whether ballplayers are playing in the WBC or in Jupiter, Florida or with their kids at home, guys are going to get hurt.
Just ask Joel Zumaya about his Guitar Hero hangup.
Or just ask Aaron Boone about his penchant for pickup basketball.
Or just ask Ken Griffey, Jr. about wrestling with his children.
And while the easy way out is to say let us put an end to this World Baseball Classic for good and focus on the regular season, players are still going to find ways to injure themselves on and off the field. Personally, I would rather see a guy get hurt for his country than a video game.
The WBC only happens every few years, folks. Eventually, the kinks will be worked out. In the meantime, the foreseen benefits of firing up an entire baseball-following planet are far and beyond more plentiful than the occasional injury risks inherited by players, teams and front offices.
The truth is: baseball (yet again) was light years behind the rest of sports in not having an authentic international forum. And while the rewards of the Classic won't be seen for another twenty years or so when little Chen Jianguo and Mario Perugino and Ned van Flanders are all grown up and starting superstars in the Majors, I think we all owe it to the world to give this tournament a chance — and most of all, to enjoy it.
But just to be safe, we should all continue to pray to the baseball gods that our team's best players escape injury free and refrain from jumping up and down on Oprah's couch.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

I agree that players can get hurt tying their shoelaces. But when Selig says he won't even consider moving the event to a different time of year, it makes me scratch my head. Why not try it in December or January when the players still have time to get ready for the season and fans are starved for baseball? Just try it?
I agree. Love the tournament. The fact that Team USA has been plagued with injuries while the other countries have not tells me that we were not really ready to play ball. That is something that can be fixed. The injuries don't concern me. Of course, if Yadi had been injured, I might feel differently.
I have to agree with Kathy – the WBC needs to be moved to a time when the Team USA players are all in season ready form. In the meantime – GO USA!!!!!!
Holy hell, Brian Roberts just homered off of Dice-K! USA! USA! And I completely agree with you on whatever it was you were talking about. USA! USA!
True story. Your country is much more important than a video game.
I think the biggest problem with the WBC now is timing and that is something that can be fixed pretty easily with a little bit of research.
I completely agree, Jeff. All of this whining about the WBC makes MLB sound like a bunch of paranoid Little League parents. It's embarrassing. I think there are some kinks to be worked out, but I also truly believe that this could be something wonderful that we all look very forward to one day. Hopefully, at the end of one, we'll say "Wow, I can't believe we have to wait four years to see this again!" and players will make sure that they're in shape for it. I think the biggest problem is the fact that the teams weren't assembled until the week before play started. That doesn't work in any forum.
Jeff- I think if you move the WBC, you also have to move the All-Star game. Despite not being an international forum, you still see your top players suffer injuries. It's hard to decide when the optimal time would be for players in both the WBC and the All Star game. Put it after the WS and it's a disadvantage to everyone who didn't make the post season, putting it in January is hard as players work to prepare for spring training. Me? I love watching both the WBC and the All Star game, it's just a matter of figuring out the optimal time to do that. Guess we'll have to wait another four years to figure out what works best… (at least for the WBC).
Jane — Moving it might require too much thinking on King Bud's part, something he's not quite great at doing.
Kathy — Gotta agree: If Yadi were on the line and got hurt I might have a different opinion😉
Julia — We must not have been cheering hard enough😦
Erin — You got on board too late!
Melissa — As an Indians fan, it might do your guys some good to send Zumaya the new Rock Band World Tour game on PS3, yeah?
Katie — Exactly. Korea, Japan, Cuba… those guys have been playing together for months now. A couple of measly weeks ain't gonna cut it.
Emily — The All-Star game is just one game, so I can see why the WBC poses a little different problem. Still, they do this in soccer and basketball, so why should baseball be so scared?
Injuries happen all the time. I guess the team wants to have a handle on the injury and feel like their hands are tied with this WBC. I guess they would feel the same way if the injury happened to the athlete anywhere outside of their control. If the injury is under their control, the treatment given would be monitored by them. Bottom line: Its all about the battle of control and who truly has it?
Very valid point, Aaron. Apparently the fans are never factored into this. I guess we don't matter.
Great entry. The players can get hurt any way really, but I kind of feel like these players are pushing themselves too hard too early. Jake Peavy only had two outings in the spring before he went to the WBC. He's such a competitor that I think he pushed himself way too hard. He was placed in a playoff atmosphere in March. I really hope this doesn't hurt him in the season!
Kaybee — No kiddin'. Peavy didn't look right to me. Too bad he didn't get that last chance.

Obligatory McGwire Mention… and Some Other Crap
Mark McGwire Quotes (that I made up):
"I didn't want to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Lou Ferrigno. I wanted to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno COMBINED! ON 'ROIDS! ARRRRRGH!"
"My talent comes from the 'man upstairs' and lemme tell ya, the 'man upstairs' is F***ING JUICED! ARRRRRGH!"
"Yeah, I take Viagra, but just to stay healthy. It doesn't help me bang hot chicks for hours and hours and hours at a time! ARRRRRGH!"
Other Crap:
My duplicitous and oft abrasive colleague, Mr. Allen Krause, has been busy conjuring up all sorts of facetious baseball scenarios, one of which embraces the Selig-spawned, Selig-spun "world" World Series, proposing to pit the Major League Baseball champion against the… the… Japanese baseball… league champion? What?
Uh, excuse me, Mr. Krause, but… uh… insanity called, they want their madness back.
First of all, this is a Bud Selig ploy — a major league trick to make you think he's actually working towards the betterment of the game. Preposterous! The World Series is called the friggin' World Series because it boasts the two best baseball teams in the WORLD. No Japanese champion can hang with the MLB champion. If they could, then all those Japanese players would already be playing in the MAJOR LEAGUES!
Ah, such treachery. It saddens me to see Mr. Krause, someone so smart and so spry, take such a gigantic dip into the crazy-pool. But wait. Yes… it gets worse…
Some More Crap:
…Because somehow Mr. Krause got it in his head that once Albert Pujols' contract is up with the Cardinals in 2011, that the perennial MVP candidate will be out to find a new, more financially sexy organization to call his home. Mr. Krause even mentioned the possibility of seeing A.P. wearing an old English "D" across his chest!!!
Total f***ing horse****.
Sorry. Had to go there. Ahem…
Like the Tigers always have Ty Cobb, so too will the Cardinals always have Albert Pujols.
Don't worry, Al… at least you will always have the image of Alan Trammell in a Tigers uni, forever.
Oh, wait.
Hate me 'cuz I pull back the curtain, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

No matter what Selig does, he will be remember for turning the other way during the Steroid era.
Here's to hoping (unjuiced)Albert breaks all of the records that the Juice Crew tainted.
Emma — That and screwing up the All-Star game… and the strike of '94… and putting me to sleep with his boring speeches.
Jonestein — A-friggin-MEN.
Like Jonestein said, the steroid users took away many records from the real record holders, and now most of baseball is cheering for Albert to unjuice the records.
Babu — I'm with ya.
I'll bet Al is nursing his bruises after that slap at his Tigers. The Trammell remark was a knockout punch!
Since when does anyone in Detroit have more money than the Cards? If they're confident enough to go through with that dumb Holliday deal, they'll be fine with Pujols. Don't worry…the day he plays for the Tigers is the day I become president of the Tim Lincecum Fanclub.
Cici — HAHAHAHAHAHA! No love for Timmeh!!!
"McGwire Image Courtesy of 'Coffee with Adam'"? What is in the coffee, pray tell? HMMM!!!…
Like I said before, ain't no way Pujols will be wearing anything but a Cards uni. The Cards FO ain't THAT stupid, to sign Holliday and let Pujols go. Uh, no.
Can't say I like the idea of a "World" World Series, since we are already saddled with this WBC nonsense. Our season is already too long for the WBC to be a good idea. AND we're going to do a "World" World Series? Yeah, right.
I already don't like the WBC (we are dealing with Dice-K's moronic decision-making leading up to–and during–the WBC, and it cost us dearly). Now we're going to add something else to this? If we needed more proof that Selig is a moron?…
Gotta love the "What McGwire Really Meant" quotes!😉
Yeah, Greg, that Dice-K stuff did hurt you last season. He always had a rigorous throwing schedule though so I'm not sure his workload was much different. Who knows. He's the worst best pitcher out there. He'll walk 6 or 7 but he'll win the game somehow.
Jane — Al is still dizzy from that knockout punch in 2006… wait til the Trammell thing really sets in🙂
WHAT??????????? Are you saying that Performance Enhancing Drugs were Drugs that McGwire took to Enhance his Performance??????????? I still don't believe it.
I can't wait until Pujols signs with the Tigers next season…which means that the Tigers will have to trade Miggy (probably to my Red Sox) to clear room because, god knows, they don't want to replace Inge…he is the best third baseman in baseball (or at least in the top 30).
EZ_Mac — Haha. Dare I say ye are crazy? If AP wears a Tigers jersey I'll move to the moon.
holy crap!
No love is the understatement of the century.
LOL! Jeff, those quotes (and the commentary for each one) are hilarious!
I must say that watching the McGwire interview on MLB Network was like watching Jimmy Swaggart crying "I have sinned!" years ago. Was he crying on cue? Did he not get the memo from Tom Hanks? Oy!
Oh, and Allen – *buzzzzz* – wrong answer! Pujols is staying put in St. Louis. Otherwise, the city and the team loses millions of dollars of revenue and half of its capacity on all Southwest flights going into Lambert.
Just sayin'!
Trolley Dodger — I know!
Cici — Got it. I won't make such an understatement again😉
Randy — Thanks for the comment. And yes, I think Al gets the point now that we've adequately steered him away from error🙂
I burst out laughing at the (somewhat) fake McGwire comments.
Good to know, Prince. Good to know!
–The UnderBoss
Big Mac might have forgotten that Viagra also is used to masked anabolic steroid use by increasing the circulation of your blood throughout the body.
But then again, he wants to be "strong like Bull!"
What is really amazing is that even with the announcement that Sir Bud might step down finally, he will nor do so before the MLB/MLBPA collective bargaining agreement is sign, sealed and delivered…Oh Yeah!
That might actually be his legacy. He has moments in the past where all his good can be overshadowed by tied All Star games and Wet weather World Series games (I love rain, but not in Philly) and the additon of a powerful statement on his way out will seal his legacy…….maybe.
Rays Renegade
RR — Maybe. Maybe is right. Doubtful. That is more certain🙂

Since English is not his first language, my father is susceptible to unintentionally expressing himself in eggcorns.
My favorite is "Migraine Workers:" you know, those undocumented immigrants who pick crops.
I'm guessing there are more than a few politicians who would embrace my dad's phrasing.

At a Stevie Nicks concert I was at in 2011, Stevie was telling the story of how she asked Tom Petty's wife how old she was when she met Tom Petty. Petty's wife replied "At the age of 17." Stevie heard it as "edge" not"age," and that's how the song "Edge of 17" came to be, at least according to Stevie Nicks herself. That would be an eggcorn.

When Arai set out to engineer their next innovation they had more in mind than just designing another helmet. Much more.
In fact, Arai set out to design a whole new category of helmet. One that listened to its racing heritage, but spoke to the open road with performance that all street riders could appreciate at street speeds and under conditions they face every time they head out. Conditions like changing wind direction and gusts, high and changing noise levels, oncoming traffic concerns and temperature levels at low speeds.
What came out of this exercise is the first helmet of its kind, the Arai RX-Q. With major improvements in helmet stability, noise control, increased peripheral vision range, and maximized low speed airflow all with increased comfort and security accomplished through advanced engineering.
The Arai RX-Q. Designed for the street without giving up the benefits of a racing helmet.
The New Arai Fit
The moment you put an RX-Q on your head you know something is totally different, totally new. If there is such a thing as "feeling safe" then the RX-Q exemplifies it giving the sensation that it is alive as it grabs onto your head and holds on enveloping your head in Arai's legendary comfort.
An evolved version of Arai's Intermediate-Oval fit (as used in Corsair-V, Vector and RX-7 models), the RX-Q features further refinement and improvement of Arai's famous fit and comfort ensuring that the RX-Q will fit the widest range of riders regardless of head shape.
A Shell Made Just for You
The mark of a great helmet manufacturer is the ability to manufacture a helmet shell as small as possible for lighter weight, a lower center of gravity, and greater stability in the wind for greater comfort over time and yet still be able to pass the Snell standard. Not an easy thing, especially in 2010.
Since the very beginning all Arai shells have been hand-formed by artisan craftsmen to ensure every helmet gets personal attention. This attention to detail combined with the most advanced helmet technologies in the world results in a helmet that provides a level of comfort and safety a machine could never produce.
Not Just Another Pretty Side Vent
With more aggressive styling, the side exhaust vents are part of the RX-Q's new ventilation system that has been designed to deliver maximum airflow even on the street, but don't just think of them as vents. The reality is their new design integrates with the shell's ridge line to provide lateral stability and comfort via minimized helmet movement as speeds increase.
More Air Everywhere
More airflow means more noise, right? Most of the time the answer would be yes, but not here. The RX-Q's new advance ventilation system combines increased efficiency in air circulation with LOWER interior noise. And with greater efficiency, the RX-Q's ventilation system flows huge amounts of air for massively improved ventilation even at street speeds placing the RX-Q at the top of the list of the best-ventilated helmets on the market.
Once again Arai Engineers show that the evolution of proven designs can result in substantial improvements without the pitfalls of changing directions on a whim.
Comfort and Quiet Beyond Your Wildest Imagination
Arai started designing the RX-Q around the cheek pad. That may seem a bit eccentric, maybe even a little crazy, until you realize the difference this seemingly simple component makes in the comfort and secure feeling of the all-new RX-Q. With 12 individual components assembled by hand, each RX-Q cheek pad is labor intensive, but well worth the effort because once a rider puts on a RX-Q they immediately realize the difference it makes in the RX-Q's soon-to-be-regaled fit.
How can such a simple component make such a difference? Arai took the cheek pad to the next level sculpting it so that it became part of the helmet security and not just a comfort pad. As soon as you pull a RX-Q on (via its new wider opening for a more comfortable entry) the difference is instantly apparent. Besides possessing the legendary comfort of an Arai, once the RX-Q's cheek pads slide into place they provide the most positive feeling from a helmet as they come to "cradle" your face for security provided by no other helmet.
But if it holds on tighter it must be uncomfortable, right? Not in the least bit. The RX-Q's cheek pads' ergonomically engineered contour has resulted in increased surface area that distributes its contact to a greater area for not only a secure fit and feel, but fantastic comfort without pressure points.
And as if that was not enough, Arai has engineered the shape of this new cheek pad to provide a better seal against noise right where most helmet noise originates. Add to that Arai's use of a new sound-deadening foam, not to mention the new quieter ventilation system, and you have the helmet design that may well define Arai's future in quiet helmet design.
One more thing the RX-Q incorporates is another Arai innovation, the Emergency Cheek Pad Removal System. And yes you have seen it copied by others, but hey, good ideas in safety should not be hoarded away. They should be brought to the masses.
So greater comfort, a quieter helmet design, all with a greater sense of security via a positive fit for more head shapes all because of a cheek pad. Yep.
Drop Dead Gorgeous...and Functional
The unique, sculpted Hyper Ridge is part of the RX-Q's aerodynamic design that along with the diffuser and exhaust vents combine to provide a new level of stability. Arai's first 100% wind tunnel designed and tested helmet, the RX-Q is stable not just in a straight line or at high speeds (like other companies racing inspired designs! knock, knock), but in the real world of constant head-turning, look left-look right, "where did that noise come from" street riding.
Structurally the Hyper Ridge circles the shell's lower opening to improve shell strength, a lower center-of-gravity for a lightweight, balanced feeling you will fall in love with, and it allows for a larger entry opening for easier on-off without enlarging the shell. So no more buying helmets that are too big because of the helmet opening, not to mention that it looks pretty cool.
Aerodynamics for the Real World
Think of all the eggs you have ever seen. No crazy shapes or exaggerated add-ons that break up the organic shape, weaken the shell's ability to dissipate energy, or catch on something should the worse case scenario occur. Nature kind of has a way of weeding out crazy ideas over the millennia.
When it comes to helmet design, Arai figures that all the R&D money in the world could not trump thousands of years' worth of evolutionary design. Pretty good judgment if you think about it, because "safe" design is better than "cool" design any day of the week. Besides, Mr. Arai insists on it from his engineers.
So you won't get over sized vents sticking out or massive triple-jump protrusions molded into an Arai helmet, but you will get something much more valuable. Arai shells are smaller size for size than shells from other manufacturers and share the organic shape of the egg for a simple reason. It delivers a wind-slicing yet stable platform for real world performance no matter which way you look or what bike you ride all while providing the best possible energy management platform. So why would Arai, why would you, make any other choice?
Peripheral Vision...Plus
The openings of a helmet are a very serious matter. It is only through careful engineering and advanced production techniques and materials that a manufacturer can enlarge these while maintaining their safety certifications. Conversely, wider openings and vent holes mean extra venting and a wider field of vision, so every rider wants them from a practical point-of-view.
Well, the RX-Q delivers on both fronts. A new large eye port means that peripheral vision has been extended for greater visibility and awareness of what is around you on the streets and byways of the real world.
And to make things even easier, the RX-Q uses the same visor as the Arai Corsair-V.

"Between heresy and schism there is this difference, that heresy perverts dogma, while schism, by rebellion against the bishop, separates from the Church. Nevertheless there is no schism which does not trump up a heresy to justify its departure from the Church."
~ St. Jerome, (In Ep. ad Tit., iii, 10), remarking on how practically and historically, heresy and schism nearly always go hand in hand.

July 27, 2012 —
"West Side Story," now playing at the Forestburgh Playhouse, (FBP) is arguably one of the most popular Broadway musicals of all time. The original production, written in 1957, was an instant smash and spawned a 1961 film version that has since captured the hearts of millions worldwide.
Inspired by William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," the story focuses on young lovers Tony (Michael Schauble) and Maria (Emily Brown) and their ill-fated romance, set against a back drop of warring street gangs, racial strife and the turbulent transition of the late 1950s giving way to a new generation.
The book, by the incomparable Arthur Laurents is enhanced with a brilliant score by Leonard Bernstein paired with inspired lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and the FBP offering rightfully pays homage to the original production, directed and choreographed by the legendary Jerome Robbins. Packed with action, the play takes place in the mean streets of New York and the score contains some of the most memorable tunes ever written, including "Tonight," "Maria," "Officer Krupke," and "America."
Artistic supervisor Ron Nash, teamed with resident director Kevin Confoy, have made all of the right choices with this production and the cast hit the stage on opening night- singing and dancing their hearts out, giving new life to Robbins' original concept, while lending originality to their performances at the same time. Choreographer Maggie Anderson was careful to honor the original production, thereby allowing a smaller chorus to shine at the playhouse, in this larger-than-life theatrical presentation.
Although Ryan Touhey's musical direction stumbled once or twice during the first act, even that could not deter the amazingly talented cast from delivering. As Tony and Maria declare their forbidden love, they face and fight their families and prejudices, while capturing the audience in a magic spell that only live theatre can create. Schauble and Brown have beautiful, strong voices and considerable acting chops that belie their youth. Delicately subtle when required, the pair's ability to convey their mutual adoration propels the passionate story line, and the audience was swept away as the powerful plot unfolded.
By the time the pair performed the duet, "One hand, One Heart," the packed house was committed, and roared approval every time they sang. Other actors followed suit, providing terrific renditions of well known songs, including the fabulous Gabriella Perez (Anita), who solidly delivered a great performance throughout. Matching Perez note for note (and on the dance floor as well) was one of this season's standout actors, Michael Graceffa, who also provided a multi-layered performance as Anita's lover Bernardo. Macho and imposing, Graceffa's interpretation provides the perfect blend of simmering sexuality, while his sometimes frightening violent streak bubbles to the surface. The show demands strong performers and the four leads all exceeded my personal expectations.
While gifted, these actors cannot make "West Side Story' work on their merit alone, and the wildly enthusiast audience continued to cheer as the ensemble performed the often difficult choreography and musical prowess needed to deliver the "Dance at the Gym," "The Rumble" and the intense reprise of "Tonight." Well constructed characters were brought vividly to life, and both the boys and girls chorus were very, very good--adding even more electrifying pizzazz to the overall success of the show. While talented to a fault, a few of the guys stand out, including Josh Pins and spot-on Kyle Van Zandt (as Baby John and A-Rab, respectively) along with Zachary Bencal (as Action).
More talent, in the form of Lauren Chapman (Anybodys) and Katie Sarno (Rosalia) also truly impressed along with (consistently great) Kevin Confoy's tough-as-nails Detective Shrank, Steve Davis' Doc and Melissa Niknam's (the Widow) gorgeous voice tugging at the hearts of the audience as the show builds to its dramatic, haunting climax. "West Side Story" is a familiar tale to many, including me --and yet I found myself so immersed in the story that I was once again carried away by the tragic tale. While there are laughs, it is the pathos inherent in the plot that lingers. Feeling slightly overwhelmed, I must admit that I cried as the last notes of the lush score echoed in the rafters, while the audience leapt to it's collective feet, giving the entire cast a well deserved standing ovation.
"West Side Story' runs through August 5 at the FBP. For reservations and information visit www.fbplayhouse.org [1] or call 845/794-1194.
