Chris Huhne is right to criticise successive governments' failure to tackle the growing load on younger people that results from fear of the grey vote. While illustrating the intergenerational injustice, he forgets that half of the problem (and the opportunity for its solution) lies in the even more striking inequity in the distribution of wealth within that older generation – even greater in the large cohort of baby boomers in their wake. Among those currently over 50, the top 50% have over 90% of the assets; the wealthiest 25% has five times that of the lowest 25%. Those of us fortunate enough to have enjoyed free university education have four times the wealth of those who went out to work at 15 to help pay for us, not to mention our considerably better life expectancy. It is not all the old who are "short-sighted"; it is those with most of the assets.
The answer to Huhne's conundrum is therefore in each generation picking up some of its pension and heavier health and social care costs by each of us contributing 15% of our wealth as we reach 65. As Huhne points out, most of those health and social care costs accrue in the last year or two of life, so the money only needs to be collected after we die. This would put social care on a par with health care (especially for conditions like Alzheimer's) and would balance the equation for population bulges like the baby boomers. It would be nice to think that this rekindling of the cooperative spirit that so benefited our generation after the war would make the 15% subscription palatable, especially if bus passes were seen as part of the package.
This "insurance for old age" still leaves most of our assets (and for the top 5%, hundreds of thousands of pounds) untouched. I am sure it was only an oversight that got Chris Huhne through his piece without a mention of inheritance tax. That should remain but one advantage of assessing wealth at 65 is that it makes avoidance less easy (and hopefully less acceptable).

• I am over 65. For the first decade of my working life I paid the basic rate of income tax at 33%, decreasing over my working life to the current rate. A rough calculation tells me I have paid significantly more into the Exchequer than those will who started paying tax at today's much lower rate. I have never complained about this. I hold the wildly unfashionable view that income tax should go up, not down. While the basic rate of income tax remains at the current level, what do we expect? If you want more out of the system, start putting more in.
And here's another thing. My husband and I haven't complained about providing the deposits for two of our children's first home purchases. Neither are we muttering about the holidays we forego as we save for our grandchildren's future higher education costs. As with everything else in these benighted times of the coalition government (yes, your lot, Mr Huhne), support to the younger generation has become privatised along with the rest. Older people may be taking out of the state what they have put in over their lifetimes, but we are also giving crucial educational, social and housing help to our children and grandchildren out of our own pockets in the face of this government's dereliction of duty. And here's the last thing. Do you seriously expect us to believe that benefits cut from older people would be redistributed to the young? By this government? Come off it.

I hope it works better for you in actual use than it did just stripping off the rounds. USA Magazines don't have the best reputation for quality. I'm not sure if they are still around or not.
What ever happened to these folks? I just picked up a 15 rounder for my Ruger P85 that is stainless steel. Haven't tested it, but my shop said it had a lifetime warranty. Stripping some rounds off manually they tended to nosedive the next consecutive round. (sigh)
I hope it works better for you in actual use than it did just stripping off the rounds. USA Magazines don't have the best reputation for quality. I'm not sure if they are still around or not.

I will never buy another USA mag. the last time I did USA I bought 3 20 round mags for my Mini-30 and all three didn't work and even my magazine guru could only fix one of them. Meg gar is my magazine go to brand. Never had a bad one and they build a lot of the OEM mags.

meg gar very good results-- usa very bad results from many i know.
clean lube and just maybe it will work when needed?<><dk
I took it apart, and it is loaded with cosmoline or grease. For my 1911 magazines, any grease inside them messes them up. So I will clean the crap out of it and test it. The outer body of the stainless magazine seems good. Why would anyone put grease inside a magazine?
I have some USA magazines that work well in a Taurus PT92 pistol. Have had no complaints with those mags in that gun at all.
never had anything but trouble
from U S A magazines.
I had a couple of USA magazines for my Beretta 92, pure junk. I stepped on them and threw them in the trash.
I hand cycled the rounds thru and it jammed and failed to chamber rounds # 7-12. I took the spring out and stretched it. Worked like a champ. Then I kept it loaded and cycled it again 2 days later, same problem. So I'm looking to order a $4 spring from Brownells later on. For now, I will not trust it, nor use it.
This P85 is one of those flawless type of designs that swallows anything you feed it. However the Ruger 10 and 15 round mags DO NOT exhibit this behavior and every round stripped/cycled or shot is flawless in operation. In the end it appears that the spring is the culprit. I just hope the brownell spring fixes it.
Thanks for all your input! Needed to hear the word "junk".

You can give him benadryl. But I don't know how much you can a small dog. My dogs are large. You should call your vet and ask how much. Good Luck!

I give my chihuahuas half teaspoon or half a pink pill for allergies and they weight 6-8pounds. Vet has told me that I can give up to 1 teaspoon every 12 hours

You can, just call your vet to verify the dosage. In addition, if you want a great product to wipe out his eyes, I love PETfection Eye Wash & Cleaner. It is 100% Organic and very soothing. It will help with the redness and itchiness, and you can use it as often as needed. I hope this helps!

I was giving my Jack a half a benydrill pill but we since changed over to one normal dose of zyrtec and half a muscinex. His belly gets red when his allergies get bad and he gets congested. You should still ok it with a vet but this is what two seperate vets have suggested for us.

The Companions of Jehu HTML version
24. The Eighteenth Brumaire
On entering the Rue de la Victoire, Bonaparte found Sebastiani's dragoons
drawn up in line of battle. He wished to address them, but they interrupted him at
the first words, shouting: "We want no explanations. We know that you seek only
the good of the Republic. Vive Bonaparte!"
The cortège followed the streets which led from the Rue de la Victoire to the
Tuileries, amid the cries of "Vive Bonaparte!"
General Lefebvre, according to promise, was waiting at the palace gates.
Bonaparte, on his arrival at the Tuileries, was hailed with the same cheers that
had accompanied him. Once there, he raised his head and shook it. Perhaps this
cry of "Vive Bonaparte!" did not satisfy him. Was he already dreaming of "Vive
He advanced in front of the troop, surrounded by his staff, and read the decree of
the Five Hundred, which transferred the sessions of the Legislature to Saint-
Cloud and gave him the command of the armed forces.
Then, either from memory, or offhand--Bonaparte never admitted any one to
such secrets--instead of the proclamation he had dictated to Bourrienne two days
earlier, he pronounced these words:
"Soldiers--The Council of Ancients has given me the command of the city and the
"I have accepted it, to second the measures to be adopted for the good of the
"The Republic has been ill governed for two years. You have hoped for my return
to put an end to many evils. You celebrated it with a unanimity which imposes
obligations that I now fulfil. Fulfil yours, and second your general with the vigor,
firmness and strength I have always found in you.
"Liberty, victory, and peace will restore the French Republic to the rank it
occupied in Europe, which ineptitude and treason alone caused her to lose!"
The soldiers applauded frantically. It was a declaration of war against the
Directory, and soldiers will always applaud a declaration of war.
The general dismounted, amid shouts and bravos, and entered the Tuileries. It
was the second time he had crossed the threshold of this palace of the Valois,
whose arches had so ill-sheltered the crown and head of the last Bourbon who
had reigned there. Beside him walked citizen Roederer. Bonaparte started as he
recognized him, and said:
"Ah! citizen Roederer, you were here on the morning of August 10."
"Yes, general," replied the future Count of the Empire.
"It was you who advised Louis XVI. to go before the National Assembly."
"Bad advice, citizen Roederer! I should not have followed it."
"We advise men according to what we know of them. I would not give General
Bonaparte the same advice I gave King Louis XVI. When a king has the fact of
his flight to Varennes and the 20th of June behind him, it is difficult to save him."

I think those are adorable. You are doing a great job. I'm still pretty new to quilting, so I haven't tried applique yet. I would love to learn one day, but not sure where to even begin. I will have to research this a bit. I can't wait to see the quilt finished.
Too cute! Can't wait to see the whole quilt!

Where I stayed
Gray has the most amazing sense of direction, managing to negotiate his way out of the busiest of cities (including in the past New York.) SO the navigator with trusty map on her knee is virtually redundant!
The scenic, snaking Great Ocean Road begins with a magnificent arch to commemorate it. This epic road was built by the Australian soldiers who returned from the 1st World War as a memorial to those who did not come home. Our magnificent coastal journey commences.
We soon reached Skenes Creek near Apollo Bay and Chris's Beacon Point villas, high up in the eucalyptus trees. The accommodation with floor to ceiling windows and phenomenal views was very basic
We then took a lovely bracing walk along the beach and watched with interest the skill of the kite surfer racing across the waves at an immense speed.
Dinner was delicious although contrary to what was advertised, Chris the owner chef did not come around the tables to greet everyone.
It is clearly time to get back on this gorgeous road!

SAPP fundraiser earns $6K

2011 Substance Abuse Prevention Program award winners:
(Name — award — tickets sold)
• Tyler Burkett — laptop — 405
• Hunter Beckett — bicycle — 200
• Tressa Otis — bicycle — 110
• Brianna Burkett — iPod — 99

• Kaziah Johnston
Five Craig elementary school students walked away from a celebratory breakfast Thursday at McDonald's with prizes ranging from an iPod to a new laptop.
The awards recognized their status as top ticket sellers for pancake breakfasts that took place in November at the restaurant.
The proceeds benefited the Substance Abuse Prevention Program, which supports activities and programs designed to stamp out drug and alcohol abuse.
Tyler Burkett, a Sandrock Elementary School student, took the top prize, a laptop computer, for selling 405 tickets.
Hunter Beckett, another Sandrock student, and Tressa Otis, of Ridgeview Elementary School, won bicycles for selling 200 and 110 tickets, respectively.
Sandrock Elementary students Brianna Burkett and Makayla Hampton each sold 99 tickets and won iPods.
Students who sold more than 20 tickets received cash prizes that ranged from $20 to $35, Ridgeview Elementary Principal Julie Baker said.
Together, they and other third- through fifth-graders who participated in the fundraiser garnered about $6,000, SAPP secretary/treasurer Becky Otis said.
The pancake breakfasts are the program's sole fundraiser, SAPP board president Jerry Hoberg said, although SAPP receives funds from other sources, including court fines.
SAPP relies on money raised from the annual fundraiser to support various projects, including funding after-school programs, donating to an after prom party for Moffat County High School, and buying T-shirts and other items for the local Drug Abuse Resistance Education, or D.A.R.E., program.
SAPP also funds three $1,000 scholarships for Moffat County High School graduates.
The amount raised this year is in the range of what the fundraiser has collected in the past, Hoberg said.
"I think last year, we probably made a little more," he said. "In years prior to that, we have made less."
Former Craig Police Chief Glen Sherman started the program in the late 1970s or early 1980s, and it's "one of the original programs that was set up to help prevent drug and alcohol abuse," Hoberg said.
The money the students help raise will eventually benefit them, he said, as they participate in SAPP-funded after-school programs and D.A.R.E.
"And it gives them the chance to win a few prizes," he said.

Hollywood star Russell Crowe is reportedly set to sell his stake in NRL club South Sydney at the end of the 2013 season.
According to the Nine Network, Crowe - who along with businessman Peter Holmes a Court assumed ownership of the Rabbitohs in a messy takeover in 2006 - is attempting to simplify his life by getting out of the club.
Crowe's recent split from wife Danielle Spencer is believed to be part of the reasoning.
"From what I can understand, Russell is just trying to simplify his life," rugby league journalist Danny Weidler told Sydney radio station 2UE.
"As you know, he has been through a lot recently in his personal life, and I would say that is ... a part of his reasoning."
There has been no official comment from either Crowe or the club.
Together, Crowe and Holmes a Court hold a 75 per cent stake in the Rabbitohs, with some estimates claiming the pair have poured in $11 million into the club.
Crowe has been credited with helping revive the Rabbitohs after several years of poor performances following their readmittance to the competition in 2002.
Last season the Rabbitohs enjoyed their best season since re-admission when they reached the preliminary final, where there lost 32-8 to Canterbury.
"They are one of the sexiest clubs in rugby league," Weidler said.
"People like to play for South Sydney. They have got an image about them.
"That's due to Russell Crowe."

UK: Ferrari in world's most expensive car crash
The Ferrari is one of only 39 ever built and values more than 20 million pounds.
London: A US businessman driving a classic Ferrari car worth more than 20 million pounds has been involved in the world's most expensive car crashes ever.
Multi-millionaire Christopher Cox was driving the Ferrari 250 GTO with his wife Ann, who is understood to have suffered a broken leg in the accident in Central France.
Cox was taking part in the 50th anniversary tour of the Ferrari 250 GTO - an Italian sports car dubbed as the 'Picasso of the motoring world.'
The Ferrari, which is one of only 39 ever built, values more than 20 million pounds, the Daily Mail reported.
The incident took place outside Saint-Etienne-des Guirets, near Blois when the enthusiasts drove the iconic Gueux racing circuit in Reims before visiting the Abbey of Hautvillers as part of the five-day tour Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and JCB boss Sir Anthony Bamford were two of 21 groups of multi-millionaire Ferrari fans taking part in the 50th anniversary jaunt.
Ferrari built the 250 GTO between 1962 and 1964 with the 174 mph sports car sold with a 6,000 pounds price-tag.
The value of the 250 GTO has skyrocketed in recent years with one green model built for Stirling Moss selling last month for a world record 22.7 million pounds.
The model involved in Friday's crash was built in April 1962 with the chassis number 3445GT.
The car was resprayed blue from initial red colour, with a yellow central stripe in 1963 to match the colours of Sweden after race driver Ulf Norinder's nationality.
The high value car was later rebodied, but in 1976 was crashed and underwent a full restoration before Mr Cox bought the vehicle in 2005.
English broadcaster Christopher James 'Chris' Evans is also understood to have recently sold his 18 million pounds model of the Ferrari.
The 250 GTO uses a 3-litre V12 engine developing 300 bhp which results in a 0-60mph time of 6.1 seconds and a top speed of 174mph.

Since the financial meltdown in 2008-09, Quebec has run massive deficits each year. The province is on track to add $53 billion to its total provincial debt -- a 35 per cent increase -- by the end of the year. But in the same period, Ontario under McGuinty and Wynne will add $120 billion to its debt -- a 71 per cent increase.
Quebec's new Minister of Health and Social Services, Gaétan Barrette, has longed to take this post for many years. He likely has a clearer vision of the changes he would like to make than the vision espoused by the Liberal Party during the election campaign. There are some projects that are top priority, in my view, because they will help right the ship, change the culture. I list five here.
There is a message from the Quebec election for Prime Minister Stephen Harper: ideas matter while dangerous, unfair ones will come back to haunt you. In a result few would have predicted at the outset, Quebec's Liberals unseated the reigning Parti Quebecois and won a solid majority after running a straightforward campaign of better government for a better economy. So what does this mean for the Harper government, which could take the country to the polls in the coming months? It will all come down to whether constituents, especially in vote-rich Ontario, are tired of the bad ideas and divisive overreach of their government in Ottawa.
The sky above Montréal is ominously grey. On social media, particularly Facebook, it's a different story. There's so much noise, so much anger, so much petulant giddiness. I'm severely disheartened to see so many friends, colleagues and acquaintances bursting with joy over the prospect of four years of majority Liberal rule.
As a proud Canadian, it bothers me that NDP leader Tom Mulcair -- who had no qualms about interfering in previous Ontario by-elections on the side of NDP candidates -- refused to take a side in the Québec election. The NDP dodged a bullet this time -- fortunately! -- but such an irresponsible position should not be rewarded in 2015.
Premier Marois sought to achieve her goals in spectacularly absurd fashion -- a separate country for French-Canadians and a ban on religious headgear for everyone else -- and on Monday, her extremism was rejected. Hardly definitively, however. The Parti Quebecois remains Quebec's official opposition, and the rise of new nationalist parties, coupled with a sharp split in the popular vote, suggests much of the Marois agenda has merely scattered elsewhere. More than a trace can even be found in Mr. Couillard.
Please let Quebec choose a government that will represent values of inclusion, acceptance, and freedom. Let Quebec be a province where we can raise our children not only to respect, but to honour diversity. Let Quebec be more like my daughter's school -- a place where we can thrive and become better people.
The last days of the provincial electoral campaign have made me feel people's disillusionment and frustration at the lack of inspiring options even more profoundly. During the debates Marois, Couillard, and Legault behaved like they were in a cage fight, barking insults at one another. It took all the self-restraint that I had not to switch channels. But, contrary to everything around me, I'm hopeful. I'm convinced that I'm witnessing a new breed of Quebecer emerge. One that isn't so easily defined... and therefore not as easy to manipulate and pigeonhole. Nothing will ever be as black or white as it once was, because the world we now live in is a million shades of grey.

Investment and Supply Chain Development Needed to Drive European Ocean Energy Potential
Leading speakers from the European Commission, EDF, Iberdrola, ABB Technology Ventures, DONG Energy, Lockheed Martin, Vattenfall, European Investment Bank and Alstom will gather to discuss the future of ocean energy in Europe
Despite the euro zone facing increasing sovereign debt, the ocean energy industry has continued to attract interest and investment from the big industrial players. Alstom, Vattenfall, Siemens and Lockheed Martin have all expressed interest in the growth potential offered by the ocean sector over the coming years: "We are already seeing OEMs being attracted into the area" remarked Neil Komode, Managing Director of the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC). "We will see their discipline and firepower brought to bear on the issues that will arise and I believe we will see a ramping up of deployment".
Utilities are also recognizing to the potential for ocean energy to provide large and reliable quantities of clean power, with Iberdrola, E.On and EDF currently embarking on developing some of the first pilot projects. "The next 5 years must deliver several multi-device arrays of 5-10MW capacity, utilising different technologies to promote utility investment into larger scale commercial arrays" commented Richard Church, Marine Energy Development Manager at RWE Innogy.
The key barriers to reaching this stage continue to be the same issues facing many emerging industries- high technology risks and lack of available capital. "Small ocean energy development companies often lack the capital and capacity to perform full scale tests and further develop their product to a commercial state" stated Björn Bolund, Technology Area Responsible for Ocean energy at Vattenfall.
Dan Pearson, Chief Executive Officer of Meygen also cites the lack of a viable supply chain as a factor currently limiting development:
The UK is leading the way in addressing these issues, recently launching a €24million contest to support wave energy projects, in addition to the availability of 5 ROCs per MWh. This level of support is not yet reciprocated across all European states- the importance of realising a unified policy to facilitate this support is also highlighted by Pearson: "We believe that a coherent strategy for Marine Energy development is key and that this is currently missing. It is incumbent upon the industry and governments of relevant member states of the EU to raise the profile of the industry in a unified manner".
The EUOEA's Ocean Energy 2012 will offer delegates an unparalleled opportunity to network with the leading policy makers, industrial players, supply chain partners, utilities and investors as they address the issues that face the future of the industry. Sessions include updates from the first operational ocean e energy projects, options for developing a viable ocean supply chain, insights on technology and project cost reduction and options available for obtaining finance and reducing project risk.

Bring on the turkey-filled family dinners and the New Year's Eve countdown. You're ready for anything that comes your way this holiday season with Jouer's trio of best-selling mini lip glosses. You can't go wrong with Peony, a creamy cool pink; Glisten, a sheer sparkling pink; or Riviera, a sheer red enhanced with shimmer. These luxe glosses are housed in a cream-colored faux leather bag featuring funky gold confetti detail.
I bought this set for myself as a first time buyer of jouer. I'm inlove with this brand. Love everything about this gloss set. Not sticky, not gritty, smooth and creamy and stays on longer than normal glosses. I am addicted to jouer!!! Thanks birchbox so much for introducing me to this brand!!!!5
This is a very nice product! It makes a great stocking stuffer, or can be used as a special treat for yourself or as a gift to someone special. I tried this product and love the colors and the little pouch. it is also very convenient for everything from going to work, out with friends or a night on the town. The glosses give great shine and are easy for travel with and does not take up much space in a purse or pocket! A great product to try with confidence!5
I'm excited to wear the red and gold colors. I knew I would like the gold because I had received a small sample of it a few months ago. The red is more sheer than it looks in the picture which is great because you can get a little color without being too dramatic. The pink however is pepto bismal shade of pink and entirely too dense. Won't be using. The bag is small, but adorable and will be thrown in my purse to keep me organized.4
I purchased this gift as a cute way to give a gift certificate to a friend (I had purchased a manicure gift certificate and wanted it to be in this pouch with the lip gloss rather than a standard envelope). It's a NICE pouch just way smaller than expected. Gift certificate didn't fit but would be nice for change in lieu of a wallet.4

The Queen has revealed that she keeps her honorary Bafta in pride of place...on top of her TV.
Her Majesty disclosed where she stores the gong - presented to her last year - while chatting to British director Steve McQueen at Buckingham Palace on Monday night.
The Queen told the director, who won a best film gong at Sunday's Bafta awards ceremony for his movie '12 Years a Slave,' that she "couldn't help but look" at hers because "I keep it on the television," Sky News reports.
She received the award in recognition of a lifetime's support of British film and television.
The Duchess of Cambridge was Her Majesty's right-hand woman at last night's Buckingham Palace reception for figures from the dramatic arts.
Together they welcomed some of the world's most celebrated actors to Buckingham Palace.
Kate, 32, stood alongside the Queen, 87, to greet guests including McQueen, Dame Helen Mirren, Joan Collins and Uma Thurman.
Wearing the same bright red McQueen dress she wore on the royal barge during the Diamond Jubilee celebrations , Kate chatted to a selection of the 250 guests and watched drama students and graduates perform in the Ballroom of the palace.
At the start of the evening the Queen enjoyed a joke with comedian Lenny Henry about her portrayal by Oscar-winner Helen Mirren in 2006 film The Queen.
Pointing to the 87-year-old monarch, Lenny said: "This is Helen Mirren. "She's brilliant."
Kate also met the actress and told her, laughing: "My husband called you granny last night."
Following Prince William's appearance at the BAFTA awards on Sunday, where he presented the Fellowship to Dame Helen, last night's event was designed to honour Britain's theatre and film talent and was attended by actors, playwrights, teachers, producers and directors.
The evening was significant for Kate as it marks one of only a handful of times she has so far been invited to take a key role without her husband alongside his grandmother.
She joined the Queen and Prince Philip in Leicester for the launch of their Diamond Jubilee tour in March 2012 and also joined them last March for a visit to Baker Street when she was five months pregnant.
She and the Duchess of Cornwall spent the morning at Fortnum and Mason with the Queen in March 2012, and Kate also joined the Queen for a first viewing of her wedding dress when it went on display for the Buckingham Palace summer opening.
New mum Kate appeared in public twice last week , however will not carry out any more engagements this week as she focuses on looking after six-month-old baby George.
Dame Helen Mirren said about the Queen: "I am genuinely always attracted by her aura, her twinkle."
Discussing her film portrayal of the monarch, she added: "I feel like saying I am so sorry and I promise I will stop."
Even the biggest Hollywood stars said they felt humbled by going to the palace.
Uma Thurman said: "It's such a privilege, such an honour.
"I am chuffed and overwhelmed.
"It's so beautiful.
"I had to remind myself not to trip because you can be taken in by the beauty of the place."
The invitation to the palace was also the icing on the cake for Bond girl Gemma Arterton.
She said: "My Mum and Dad were so proud when I got the letter.
"I've met most of the Royal Family but I'd never met the Queen.
"Now I've got the full set."

API Gateways: Preserving the Value of Legacy Healthcare Data
As new devices and technologies promise to deliver ever-improving healthcare to more individuals, it's easy to lose track of the tools that we already have. It's also important to remember that the best outcomes involve a combination of old and new technologies. Healthcare can be made more efficient and more effective by allowing improved access to information - across multiple devices, and across multiple providers. In this post, we'll look at a few areas where APIs can enable new consumption models for legacy data: mobile applications for caregivers, mobile apps for patients, and Health Information Exchanges (HIEs).
Can You Read That?
The stereotype about doctors' handwriting is probably as old as the profession itself. Fortunately longhand notes seem to be going away, replaced by computerized records. However, as even the most routine appointments frequently involve multiple caregivers (nurse interview, a few minutes with the doctor, possibly a stop by a lab), these records need to be available to multiple people immediately after they are recorded. Some offices and hospitals use laptops to accomplish this, but many providers see even more benefit from the increased mobility of tablets.
Tablet devices introduce additional IT challenges that can be addressed - at least in part - through APIs. By using APIs, back-end services can be consumed through a wide variety of apps, from native or HTML5 apps on mobile devices to web or enterprise apps on laptops. Unfortunately, the legacy services on the back end may not be presenting data in a mobile-friendly manner. The service may be using XML (if you're lucky), an older, non-XML based variant of HL7, or a proprietary data format. This can prove challenging to the app developer, who is probably expecting to consume JSON or at least depend on an XML-based HL7 library to simplify coding. Also, even though the provider may manage the device, identity management and other security concerns may prove difficult to negotiate between modern mobile app architectures and legacy data services.
Checking In
Doctors aren't the only ones who see the benefit of mobile apps and multiple devices. Consumers want to be able to use their phones and tablets to make and check appointments, review and pay bills, and even monitor their health. Mobile apps can allow patients to more easily use services from providers and insurers. While most devices can deal with a well designed web portal and downloaded PDFs reasonably well, a better user experience can be delivered through an app. Native rendering of the data can reduce confusion while providing a more responsive experience.
This B2C model comes with all the usual complexity of mobile devices, along with the security concerns that arise when exposing data outside of the corporate firewall. The breadth of customer devices and consumption models requires a secure, device-independent mechanism for exchanging data. But it is more cost-effective to layer these capabilities on top of existing services rather than replacing them all at once.
Agents for (ex)Change
Health Information Exchanges have perhaps the most audacious goal: facilitating access of data across organizational boundaries. When done correctly, these exchanges can improve continuity of care while lowering costs. Similar to the internal (tablet) case mentioned above, HIEs can deliver near real-time access to patient data across multiple providers and provider groups. No more photocopying charts and sending them across town with a courier, meaning less expense and less room for error.
Health IT and Meaningful Use legislation are going a long way towards streamlining some of this interoperability. It's clear that APIs will play a significant role in enabling the exchange of patient information. Standards like HL7 are emerging and evolving to address interoperability concerns. But these will only go so far – there is still a need to map back to the provider's internal system and bridge formats, protocols, and identity systems.
Gateways to Success
To bring about the good kind of disruption as quickly as possible — while minimizing the bad kind of disruption — it's desirable to preserve access to legacy services. Rather than undertaking the cost and time of migrating to new "mobile-ready" versions of software, it can be more cost-effective to provide a layer of middleware to expose legacy services for mobile until a natural upgrade cycle provides native functionality. A service gateway can allow a provider to repackage internal, legacy services as APIs for mobile, partner, and customer interactions. The gateway can handle data format exchanges, wrapping the internal representation with an HL7 schema or wrapping HL7 in a JSON schema for easier mobile app development. The gateway can also address security concerns, from encrypting the data to mapping between identity systems.
The other advantage of a gateway approach is that it allows for forwards- and backwards-compatibility. As a simple example, versions 2 and 3 of HL7 are markedly different from one another. Version 2 was character-delimited, while version 3 is XML-based. A gateway protects investment, allowing interchange between different data formats, so a provider that begins today can protect their investment if the format changes in the future.

BEC 5 (Curaderm)
$ 129.99
After two decades of research and clinical trials, biochemist, Dr. Bill E. Cham, has discovered that BEC5 Curaderm when applied topically can eradicate non-melanoma skin cancers, specifically: Basal cell carcinomas (BCC) and Squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). BEC5 Curaderm cream has also been shown to be efficacious with benign tumours and other skin irregularities, including keratoses, keratoacanthomas, sun spots and age spots.
BEC 5 Curaderm - the clinically proven, cost effective treatment for both primary and secondary skin cancer care.
BEC 5 contains a specially purified plant extract from the maeum, (the so-called Devil's apple) which is found in the Australasia region. The extract itself, known as Solasodine Glycosides, (at a strength of 0.005%) is also found in the eggplant and aubergine (albeit in smaller quantities).
After two decades of research and clinical trials, biochemist, Dr. Bill E. Cham, has discovered that BEC5 when applied topically can eradicate non-melanoma skin cancers, specifically:
1. Basal cell carcinomas (BCC).
2. Squamous cell carcinomas (SCC).
BEC5 cream has also been shown to be efficacious with benign tumours and other skin irregularities, including:
1. Keratoses.
2. Keratoacanthomas.
3. Sun spots.
4. Age spots.
Numerous clinical trials in Australia and Great Britain have confirmed BEC5's ability to regress non-melanoma skin cancers. In one open study with 72 patients, treatment with BEC5 Curaderm cream resulted in the regression of all treated lesions (56 actinic keratoses, 39 BCCs and 29 SCCs), with 100% healed after 1 to 13 weeks of treatment.
Recent trials in 10 UK hospitals found that a twice daily topical application of BEC5 Curaderm cream to the affected areas gave a complete remission to 78% of the patients within 8-weeks. The remaining 22% of patients had also improved and needed longer treatment times. All this was made possible without chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery.
The dermatologists at the Royal London Hospital concluded that: "BEC5 is a topical preparation which is safe and effective, an ideal therapy for outpatient treatment... It is a cost effective treatment for both primary and secondary skin cancer care."
Furthermore, the histological analyses of biopsies taken before, during and after treatment give compelling evidence of the continuing efficacy of BEC5 because treated skin cancer lesions have not recurred for at least 5-years after cessation of therapy.
BEC5 Curaderm cream is therefore recommended to be used to treat areas of the skin that may have become discoloured, thickened or scaly as a result of exposure to sun (UV) light. These areas of the skin are known as keratoses. BEC5 Curaderm cream is effective to treat true malignant skin cancers such as the non-melanoma basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. To date, it is estimated that more than 80,000 people have used BEC5 and shown below are just some of the results achieved with BEC5 cream:
BEC5 works because it contains a plant sugar called rhamnose, (which is not usually found in mammalian species). Specific endogenous lectins, (which are receptors for the sugar part of the glycoalkaloids) are present in the plasma membranes of susceptible cancer cells, but they not present in normal cells. Therefore BEC5 recognizes and binds the sugar rhamnose of the glycoalkaloid to the cancer cell. Subsequently, this enters the cancer cell and causes cell death by destroying the lysosome.
Apart from the remarkable results in the treatment of skin cancers, BEC5's efficacy to help remove and protect against sun spots represents a major step forward in the prevention and "control" of skin cancers. Its ease of use, cost effectiveness, proven efficacy and safety all represent a very significant breakthrough for the majority of skin carcinomas, which are by far the most common forms of cancer.
Side effects to date have been limited to skin reddening, although during treatment erosion, ulceration and shedding of unwanted skin cells is also likely to take place. Clean the area to be treated with a mild antiseptic (to remove old skin cells). BEC5 should be applied relatively thickly to the area at least twice daily and a micro pore placed over the area. The eyes should be avoided. If any excess occurs, wash and wipe away with cold water. Application should continue for a minimum of 7 days and a maximum of 60 days, the duration is dependant upon the size, need and regularity of application. BEC5 Curaderm should not be applied to moles and melanomas. Furthermore, BEC5 should not be used by persons who are allergic to eggplant or aspirin. Persons taking prescription medication and pregnant or lactating women should consult a physician before using this product. Long-term use of this product should be supervised and monitored by a health care professional.
A 20 ml. bottle of BEC5 Curaderm should be enough to treat one large skin cancer, two medium sized ones, six small ones or twelve sun spots.

I'm contemplating between chin implant and fat transfer to the chin. But, I'm confused between the two options, as to which one is better aesthetically and more lasting, also, which one gives a more natural result? If chin Implant is a better option then what kind of chin Implant is a better one in the market? Thanks in advance.
Chin Implant or Fat Transfer?
Doctor Answers 13
Chin Implant or Fat Transfer
My preference is to use structural fat grafting, as much as possible, to enhance facial features. In many cases, the need for a solid implant can be eliminated by the careful and meticulous grafting of a patient's own fat. While the incidence of complications with facial implants is not high, certain problems may develop which require implant removal including infection and implant migration. Bone resorption (bone loss) has also been reported below solid facial implants. Neither of these problems are an issue with structural fat grafting.
The only setting in which I currently use a solid facial implant is for chin implant augmentation. Some patients with a 'weak' chin profile can be adequately improved by structural fat grafting alone. However, when the chin protrusion needs to be enhanced by a half centimeter or more, a chin implant is absolutely required. I prefer to use a soft, flexible, anatomic chin implant that conservatively enhances the anterior projection of the chin in profile. The chin implant is placed through an incision hidden underneath the chin, an area where many people already have a scar from a fall in childhood.
Moderate enhancement of chin projection in appropriate patients can dramatically enhance the profile, in a manner that is completely natural-appearing. It is remarkable how increasing chin prominence in some patients will reduce the apparent prominence of the nose, and restore an overall sense of harmony and balance to facial features.

Chin augmentation
Although soft tissue injection, including autolagous fat can help improve volume temporarily, they can resorb unevenly, migrate with inaccurate injection and harden or fibrose. If you are going through fat grafting for other areas, it may be good choice but I prefer a well placed chin implant. It doesn't take long to place and results are likely permanant and symmetric with good contour.
Chin Implant
If done well, either will give you a natural appearing result. However, a chin implant is more predictable and lasting.

Chin implant or fat??
No question to this one--chin implant lasts forever, gives a better more predictable result and has no lumps or bumps, etc. See an experienced surgeon and you should be very happy with the results of an implant.
Chin Implant or Fat Transfer? Chin Implant
The beautiful thing about a well placed chin implant is that it will never change in size, and results are very consistent. I most commonly use the Mittleman extended pre-jowl inmplant made out of silastic. Fat transfer allows for transplantation of fat cells from one area of the body (abdomen, outer thighs) to another. Consistency of results has always been a concern with fat transfer. Secondly, the grafted fat cells will carry with them their native characteristics as far as expansion of contraction with weight loss and gain. The amount of fat required to achieve a meaningful augmentation will put a patient in a category whereby the result could change with fluctuations in weight.
Chin Implant vs Fat Transfer
Fat Transfer
A chin implant can cause some bone erosion, and fat grafting can lose volume if not successful. Both are risky in some ways. See a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an evaluation. Thank you for your question and good luck with everything.
Chin Implant vs Fat Transfer
I would agree that a chin implant is a much better way of increasing your chin projection, and there are several reasons for this. For one, an implant provides for an easier means to get facial symmetry. Secondly, it is a relatively quick procedure with very little down time. Lastly, Fat Transfer has a variable degree of success after each treatment. A chin implant comes in different sizes so the patient can choose often times which one looks the best. I perform these routinely under local anesthetic in the office. A sizer is placed and the patient with a mirror can determine the best implant for them.
Fat Transfer is a terrific method for dealing with loss of volume to the cheeks, lower eyelids and lips and deep wrinkle lines on the face.
Web reference: http://stlcosmeticsurgery.com/
Chin implant vs Fat Grafting
Although I fat grafting is one of my procedures of choice, in a young patient with an isolated chin issue I would opt for the chin implant. While I agree that there are risks to every procedure, the chin implant is straightforward, long lasting and predictable. If it is for aging face concerns and fat grafting is being done to other areas of the face I might be tempted to just proceed with fat grafting to the chin as well. Good luck!
Chin augmentation with Silicone Implant or fat
Most plastic surgeons will recommend a silicone chin implant. The implant will last forever and more likely to provide a more predictable result. Fat grafts, while a good option for facial plastic surgery, is not ideal to augment the chin. I don't know of any plastic surgeon performing chin augmentation with fat. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a plastic surgeon help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.

As a solo artist, Stevie Nicks was not overly successful with her singles releases her in the UK. In fact, her only chart hit was in 1989 with Rooms On Fire which reached #16. However, her albums have been much more successful, with all of them breaking into the Top 30 album charts, apart from Trouble In Shangri-La which peaked at #43 in 2001.
Released on July 8th 1981, this track was the lead single from the American singer/songwriter's debut solo album Bella Donna. The video is a bit unimaginative, though, and simply features Stevie performing the song with Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers.
1981 Bella Donna #11
1983 The Wild Heart #28
1985 Rock A Little #30
1989 The Other Side Of The Mirror #3
1994 Street Angel #16
2001 Trouble In Shangri-La #43
2011 In Your Dreams #14
Chart positions are for the UK
Written by Stevie herself, this was the second single to be released from Bella Donna, reaching #6 in the U.S. She released the single as a duet with the founding member of The Eagles, Don Henley, although he doesn't appear in the video clip which features a live performance.
Sadly, there are no details of when and where this clip is from, but perhaps someone may be able to let us know using the comments box near the bottom of this page.
Released in 2011, this was the first album of new material by Nicks in a decade. Featuring her distinctive, warbling voice, and a polished production by Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) and Glen Ballard, the album received mostly critical acclaim, with some crtitics describing it as her best solo work yet!

Fire Alarm System Helps School District Pass Annual Inspections
When Spokane Public Schools (SPS) embarked on a district-wide renovation of its schools and facilities, a locally-based systems integrator was called on to provide an extensive upgrade to the fire/life-safety systems.
By Ashley Willis · June 28, 2011
SPOKANE, Wash — When Spokane Public Schools (SPS) embarked on a district-wide renovation of its schools and facilities, a locally-based systems integrator was called on to provide upgrades to the fire/life-safety systems.
Camtek Inc. elected to install the Silent Knight 5820XL addressable fire alarm control panel (FACP) at the district's facilities building and six elementary schools. The company also installed remote annunciators and remote expansion modules for NAC circuits and existing conventional devices. Beam smoke detectors were added to gyms, hallways and entrances, as well as smoke detectors to custodial closets.
"We used the combination analog addressable system for its flexibility," Camtek Operations Manager Don Johnson tells SSI. "We were able to utilize expansion modules for the conventional devices. Since we also had the goal of meeting the city's requirement of recording annual testing, we found we could get reports out of it. My technicians are able to operate it, and it's easy to teach new people to use the software."
Prior to the installation, each school had a fire alarm system from a different vendor, which oftentimes made the district's fire/life-safety needs difficult to manage, SPS Electrical Foreman Brad Wolfrum tells SSI. Among other newfound efficiencies, the upgraded FACP solution has helped district officials cut back on man-hours when conducting the required sensitivity tests on smoke detector heads.
"We're required to do a report to prove the smoke detectors sensitivity reading is accurate," Wolfrum says. "The equipment is very expensive to buy, and then you have to test every head, and with a two-person team doing that, it's about 80 hours a week. Now we can walk up to the Silent Knight panel and it will print out a report on any device and we're done. We only have to clean the heads that are required, which saves a lot of man-hours."
[IMAGE]406[/IMAGE]Camtek also integrated the fire alarm systems with the Galaxy Control Systems access control solution, which the integrator installed in 2005. The integrated security system currently serves 50 buildings with roughly 100 security points and 220 access control doors to provide perimeter and interior protection. The solution also records more than 716 IP power over Ethernet (PoE) cameras, and it continues to grow. The integrated solution allows Wolfrum to monitor all systems in his office.
Johnson notes that one of the most difficult parts of the job was making sure the fire alarm system had minimal downtime. "Most of the project was done after hours. The district allowed a 24-hour downtime, but we've always had zero downtime when transitioning from one system to the other. During this job, we were able to achieve this by utilizing existing wiring."
Installing security solutions for school districts is nothing new for Camtek, as its specialty is providing integrated access control solutions in K-12 schools. Roughly, 60 percent of its business derives from integrated access control systems, while the remaining 40 percent varies between fire/life-safety, video surveillance and intrusion detection. The company also uses AvantGuard Monitoring Centers to monitor its accounts.
With the July 1 completion deadline approaching, Johnson notes that the fire alarm project was successful because of good coordination between Camtek and the district's electrical team. "Our project manager was available any time to answer any question. We also worked well with the electrical contractor to make sure wire and conduits were in place at the appropriate locations," he says. "The process went smoothly due to great communications."

A recent paper in Nature Genetics describes the use of DNA microarrays (�chips�) to identify a gene expression �signature� that can distinguish non-metastatic primary tumours both from metastatic tumours and from primary tumours that are destined to metastasise [Ramaswamy, S. et al (2003) Nature Genetics 33, 49-54 (Abstract)]. The first step was to use DNA microarrays carrying gene sequences representative of thousands of different human genes to analyse the gene expression profiles of 64 primary and 12 metastatic tumours. Computer analysis of these profiles enabled a set of 128 genes to be picked out whose relative expression levels reliably distinguished most primary tumours from metastatic ones. A few primary tumours were apparently misclassified as metastatic, but further experiments showed that primary lung tumours that carried the metastatic gene expression signature were associated with significantly shorter survival times in the corresponding patients. The authors suggest that primary tumours carrying the metastatic gene expression signature are in fact destined to metastasise; if this is correct, then a large number of cells in these tumours must be running a genetic programme associated with metastasis, a finding that is at odds with the general view that metastasis is initiated by a few �rogue� cells within an otherwise genetically benign primary tumour. The authors went on to use computer analysis to whittle down their initial set of 128 genes to a set of 17 that gave equally good discrimination. The signature represented by the expression of these genes was used successfully to indicate the likelihood that various different types of primary tumour would metastasise. An exception was diffuse large B cell lymphoma, probably indicating a difference between solid and haematological tumours in the genetic mechanisms associated with metastasis.
Comment: This paper represents the latest contribution to a growing volume of research on the use of microarrays in oncology. The field of microarray technology is still struggling with problems of reproducibility and comparability between different laboratories and techniques, but greater awareness of these potential pitfalls, and the recent introduction of agreed standards for reporting microarray data, should go some way towards overcoming these difficulties. The hope is that information gleaned from the global analysis of gene expression enabled by microarrays will lead to better diagnosis and the identification of new drug targets.��

X-Ray Signal May Shed New Light on Dark Matter Mystery
NBC News -- Two spacecraft have detected a possible signal of dark matter, the mysterious, invisible stuff that makes up most of the material universe.
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton satellite spotted a spike of X-ray emission coming from more than 70 different galaxy clusters. While the origin of the X-rays remains unclear at the moment, they could be generated by the decay of a certain type of dark-matter particle, scientists said.
"We know that the dark matter explanation is a long shot, but the payoff would be huge if we're right," study lead author Esra Bulbul of the
Dark matter is so named because it neither absorbs nor emits light. Astronomers know that dark matter exists because it interacts gravitationally with the normal matter we can see and touch. It's thought to make up more than 80 percent of all matter in the universe.
Over the years, researchers have proposed a number of exotic particles as candidate components of dark matter: One of the candidates is known a sterile neutrino — a hypothetical type of neutrino that emits X-rays when it decays.
Researchers say the signal observed by Chandra and XMM-Newton could have been produced by sterile neutrinos. But that's far from a sure thing, since the detection of the X-ray spike pushed both observatories to their sensitivity limits.
Normal matter in the galaxy clusters may also be responsible for the emission. This interpretation doesn't mesh well with current thinking about galaxy clusters and the atomic physics of hot gases, however. There's also a chance that the observations are just an instrumentation glitch. Further analysis of the Chandra data, in combination with other X-ray observations, should eventually tell the tale.

Tomorrow's Abby's Spay Day
Our Abby gets dropped off at 8am tomorrow morning for her spay. She'll be staying until Tuesday afternoon (I have a Dr appt for myself before I can pick her up). If it were up to me, I'd be fighting to bring her home tomorrow night, but my mother feels much more better about keeping her there overnight. The good thing is that the vet gave me persmission yesterday to bring some raw chicken (boneless) in for her to eat Tues morning if she's hungry.
Oh, it's gonna be a long couple of days without having her home!

Thanks guys! I'm really feeling like a big ol pile of dirt today. I felt so bad leaving her there and I'm a natural worrier so everytime my phone rings my stomach turns.
She was so confused this morning when she didn't get her breakfast this morning and she was definitely nervous about being at the vets. They did a pre-op exam and she did great with that. They were going to do pre-op bloodwork too to make sure she can go through the surgery. I haven't heard anything yet and it's been over 3 hours so I'm sure that checked out fine too. She must either be in surgery or out by now just waiting to wake up. When they went to take her from us she almost pulled herself out of her harness. She just did NOT want to go out back with them. I can't wait to pick her up tomorrow.
Logan was also pretty confused this morning. He normally gets fed at the same time as Abby. He eats on a towel at one side of my room and she's in her crate on the other side. She wasn't in there this morning which threw him off. It took him a good 5-10 minutes before finally eating. I'm sure he'll be off tonight too. I don't think Mason really cares. He watched us leave this morning and was fine. We'll see how he is tonight. At least I'll be able to stay home with all 3 of them Wednesday.
I'll post an update on Abby as soon as I hear something.

Tatiana Norkina, analyst at FBS
On the thershold of the next meeting of the U.S. FRS Board, to be held one of these days, the U.S. dollar weakened sharply on Monday. The dollar index has dipped to the 79.60 area today, but has been trying to recover in the past few hours, returning to the 79.75 level (-0.12%). At the same time, stock trading has opened with a significant rise: DJIA is adding about 0.80%, S&P500 - 0.60%. This was a market reaction to the positive data on the existing homes pending sales (3.4% instead of the forecasted 1.0%).
The EUR/USD currency pair is correcting in the 1.3850 area, after today's growth to 1.3875, while GBP/USD has fallen to the 1.6815 mark, having formed a new high for the past four years - 1.6850.
The USD/CHF pair has formed a low in the 0.8770 area today, but has corrected to the 0.8800 figure by now. The USD/JPY pair has recovered from the last week's decline, returning to the 102.60 level.

It is currently standard of care in many Medical and Surgical ICU's to institute a nurse driven insulin protocol in maintaining tight glucose control in the critical patient. Many articles have been written to address this topic. However, there is no current data regarding the use of glycohemoglobin as a marker of risk of morbidity and mortality. In our study we would like to determine whether or not the HbA1C could be used as a marker of morbidity and mortality. The HbA1C is a simple blood test that may be added on to any CBC collection tube; a blood sample that critical patients have drawn up to several times a day. The investigators would analyze this information in respect to the rest of the clinical data collected regarding the patient's illness.
