The Legal Risks of New Technology
Even though new technologies offer a number of benefits to associations, they can bring potential legal traps as well. Here's what you need to know to keep your association from getting caught in one. (Titled "Don't Get Trapped" in the print edition.)
New technology brings new opportunities for associations to leverage communication devices, systems, and networks. However, incorporating new technology into an association's operations or its external communication, membership, or marketing efforts without first considering the potential legal risks can expose the organization to liability. In order to keep from falling into these legal traps, associations must not only be aware of them but must also take proactive steps to avoid them. Here are some of the top legal traps that can snare an association using today's technology.
Trap 1: Online/Electronic Contracts
Electronic contracts are generally enforceable to the same extent as paper contracts. The Uniform Electronic Transaction Act, which provides that an electronic signature satisfies any legal requirement for a signature on a contract, has been adopted by 47 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Federal legislation, called the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, also endorses the use of electronic contracts in interstate commerce. However, even if electronic contracts are generally enforceable, associations that enter into contracts online still have to be mindful of contract formation requirements, such as showing knowledge of and agreement to the contract by both parties. Additionally, electronic contracting requires consideration of certain related issues, such as maintaining the level of security and authentication needed to reasonably verify the identity of the parties entering the contract.
Once an association decides to make its resources available online, the association should consider setting forth specific terms and conditions governing their use. These terms and conditions should address common issues such as end-user conduct, permissible use of intellectual property, notice of proprietary rights, disclaimers, limits on liability, the association's role or responsibilities, and other relevant legal issues. With respect to posting such terms and conditions, the association should not rely solely on mere notice. Recent court decisions suggest mere notice, without demonstrating agreement, is not sufficient to make the terms and conditions enforceable. Maintaining an enforceable legal document should be accomplished by providing both notice and an opportunity for the end user or other party to review the applicable terms and conditions and subsequently demonstrate agreement with them. An association also should implement a process to document and maintain a record for the online formation and execution of an electronic agreement in the same general manner that it keeps records of its paper contracts.
Trap 2: Social Media
Associations that operate interactive websites, listservers, blogs, or online forums or that utilize online social networks may face the risk of their users posting content that infringes or violates the rights of others. For example, with respect to copyrightable works owned by third parties, such as articles written by others, if the posting was made by an association employee, the association could be vicariously liable for copyright infringement if the posting was done without the permission of the copyright owner and the posting was done per or under the association's direction as the employer. If the posting was done by a third party, such as a member, an association could become liable if it contributes to the posting of the infringing content, alters the material so as to contribute to its content, or if it knew or should have known of the infringement and did not take prompt corrective action.
The safe-harbor provision of the federal Digital Millennium Copyright Act may help shield an association from liability for third-party postings that contain infringing material as long as the organization itself maintains a neutral role. The federal Communications Decency Act also provides some protection from defamation and other tort liability for postings by third parties as long as the association does not become the publisher of the content. Note that the CDA does not provide protection from antitrust, copyright, or trademark-infringement liability.
To further avoid potential risk, an association should post terms and conditions that govern the behavior of third-party posters and its employees and that clearly identify the type of acceptable content that may be posted to the website or other interactive online forum. In addition, associations should maintain a policy governing social media use by association employees.
Social media or networking sites also make it easier for someone to masquerade as another person or entity. For example, in LaRussa v. Twitter, Inc., Major League Baseball manager Tony LaRussa sued Twitter after discovering that someone both created an account using his name (www.twitter.com/TonyLaRussa) and posted negative tweets about him. LaRussa sued Twitter for trademark infringement as well as cybersquatting and misappropriation of his name. Although the suit was later voluntarily dismissed, it provides an example of both the need to monitor and enforce an association's online identity and the risk that can arise when an association does not establish and identify its official online presence. This is especially critical when an association plans to permit others, such as state and local chapters, to use its name online. An association should declare which sites are its own and provide rules for when someone else is using the association's name or trademark outside of its official sites.
Trap 3: Trademark
As a general rule, an association should only use a third party's trademark with permission. In addition, an association should remain vigilant with respect to protecting its own trademarks. Associations should monitor for impermissible use of the association's name or trademarks in or as keyword search terms, user account names, or as the primary variables in unauthorized search-engine-optimization efforts. To protect against trademark infringement via online advertising or online social networks, associations should consider reserving their own trademarks as user account names and as online search keywords to claim rights in the character string equal to an association's full or most recognizable names. And if they believe their trademarks are being improperly used, associations need to notify and communicate with the appropriate search engine operators or online advertisers.
Domain names remain another area where trademark rights can be easily trampled. Associations want domain names that are equivalent or similar to their organization's name, so they must remain diligent in their efforts to protect their trademark rights in connection with certain domain-name reservation or registration practices. Although registrars now recognize the protection and enforcement of trademark rights in their domain-name registration practices, new forms of cybersquatting constantly arise in connection with the increasing number of available top-level domains for domain-name registration.
For example, front runners are domain prospectors who register names immediately after potential brand owners have filed trademark registration applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. This has the effect of requiring the potential brand owner to purchase the domain name from the domain prospector. To protect against front running, associations should consider simultaneously registering for a domain name and trademark.
Associations must remain aware of cybersquatters that engage in drop catching, instances where cybersquatters wait for a registration for a domain name to expire and then immediately register the domain name. Cybersquatters profit by building traffic off of the prior registrants. This is especially true of domains that contain trademarks. Associations can avoid drop catching by being proactive in their efforts to renew their domain names.
Trap 4: New Technology
When a new technology gains widespread use and acceptance, it is still important for an association to be aware of the related legal or business requirements and potential risks associated with it. For example, more and more associations are conducting business transactions and accepting payment through their websites. Associations that utilize credit and debit cards to process payment transactions should ensure that their efforts to protect consumer account information comply with PCI Data Security Standards. PCI DSS is a set of 12 security standards created by the credit card industry that are intended to help organizations protect customer account information from theft and misuse.
Though there are no federal or state laws that mandate compliance with all 12 PCI standards, several states, including Minnesota, have recently enacted statutory requirements similar to PCI DSS. The Minnesota law prohibits merchants from storing sensitive authentication data after payment cards are authorized. As a result, associations that process payment-card data should validate their data security, handling, and storage processes and take proactive steps to ensure their compliance with PCI DSS. They will also need to implement the necessary security programs and measures required to remain in compliance with PCI DSS. Though PCI compliance may be cumbersome or costly, secure payment systems will avoid running afoul of PCI DSS requirements and will help associations preserve member loyalty and brand value. (For more on PCI DSS, see "PCI Simplified," TechnoScope, December 2009.)
Associations also must protect against the risks that accompany employee use of employer-issued mobile devices. Many associations are permitting use of, or even providing their employees with, mobile devices to facilitate their work. Doing so means that employers should make every effort to protect the information managed or stored through such devices in the same manner that the association manages the information on its own internal computer network. For example, the use of third-party applications on mobile devices is now a prevailing norm. Though most mobile-operating-system vendors require third-party applications to be tested for approval and certification, this often is not enough protection to avoid viruses or other forms of malware, making it essential for associations to purchase antimalware programs and adopt measures that address both their internal and mobile networks. Additionally, employers should implement processes to protect information on employee mobile devices that are lost or stolen.
Trap 5: Employee Use
Since new technology makes it easier to access and disseminate information, trade-secret protection becomes harder to manage and enforce. Trade-secret owners therefore must take extra precautions for the use, handling, and transmission of their valuable or proprietary information in digital form. Associations should implement policies directed specifically at disclosure that may occur online or through mobile devices that focus on restricting and controlling employee access to and disclosure of trade secrets. For example, associations should prohibit employees from storing confidential information on unauthorized digital devices or posting confidential information on unaffiliated websites. Additionally, associations should actively promote security compliance to their employees and require that employees promptly report any security breaches. Finally, upon termination of employment, associations should require employees to delete any association information that has been stored on personal electronic devices.
In addition to remaining mindful of trade secrets in connection with mobile devices, the capabilities of remote access are increasingly expanding the traditional notion of the workplace. This expansion has ramifications on both controlling and monitoring employee conduct. According to the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in City of Ontario v. Quon, employers can monitor employee text messages on employer-issued mobile phones or pagers—if done in the appropriate manner. In that case, the city reviewed an employee's text messages (and those of two fellow coworkers) after the employee exceeded his texting limit. In conducting its review, the city discovered many of the employee's text messages to be personal and sexually explicit. The court held that the search did not violate the employee's Fourth Amendment rights to reasonable search and seizure. (For more info on Quon, see "Updating E-Communication Privacy Policies," Association Law & Policy, July 2010.) While Quon involved a government employer and thus posed different legal standards than most associations face, it serves as an important reminder that associations should consider adopting policies that explicitly address telecommuting as well as the ability to monitor employee conduct outside an association's own offices (e.g., on personal computers linked to the association's network) and that specifically make clear to employees that they have no reasonable expectation of privacy when using these services.
In addition to safeguarding confidential information and maintaining productivity, monitoring can be justified as necessary to help protect associations from vicarious liability for employee conduct. Courts have regularly held employers liable for their employees' inappropriate use of employer-provided mobile devices. For example, in Ellender v. Neff Rental, Inc., an employer was held vicariously liable for the negligence of an employee who caused an accident in his personal vehicle while conducting business on his employer-provided cell phone. Therefore, associations should establish written policies that work to monitor and deter inappropriate use of association-related devices both in and outside of the office.
While new technology may help associations build community and engage members, it's also important that they consider the legal implications that come with the technology. If associations take proactive steps, they can avoid the traps and continue to serve their members at the highest level.

Saria: The Egg
I had just been walking in the meadow when I found the egg. I have no idea where it came from but I found it so I took it home. Maybe I should tell you about myself before I go on.
My name is Saria and I'm an elf. Not one of those really short ones. I have long silver hair and gray eyes. I look about sixteen years but of course I'm way older than that. I'm very good with a bow and dagger. I live alone in my tree house in the forest next to the meadow.
So when I got the egg to my house I looked at it. Then it started shaking. It was hatching! After a little bit a baby dragon rolled onto the table. It was a beautiful shade of blue.
"Where did you come from little one?" I asked even though I was pretty sure it wouldn't answer.

"Riddle: What's transparent; immaterial; and tries to be inconspicuous, at least, before an airheaded vampire decides to hijack its life?"
Ooh, I liked riddles. They gave me a chance to display my witty intellect, which just didn't get as much exercise as my stellar physique. "I think I've heard this one before," I bluffed.
"Good. What's the answer then?"
I frowned. This - being - didn't know how to play by the rules. I bluffed, and he was supposed to cower before inadvertently revealing the answer to the riddle.
"It's not much fun if I already know, don't you think?"
"Oh, I don't care much for fun. I simply survive. Surely you know how it is. Vampires have to drink blood-"
"But we still have fun. Unlike - whatever you are."
"So you don't know!" Suddenly, the diminutive man before me oozed triumph. "I'm a-"
"Oh, so the riddle is about you!" I said glibly.
"Ghost, ghost, ghost," he said with his head hung low. His manner was deflated once more.
"Say what?"
"I'm a ghost. Might as well reveal it; you'd take forever to guess."
"I would not!" Hmmm. A ghost, huh? That was going to be my guess. Absolutely. This is only what I expected.
Unnerved by my silence, I suppose, the ghost continued, "The name's Ernie."

Ootmar Automotive Ltd. Advises Clients on Proper Wiper Blade Maintenance
Local car repair service provides customers valuable insight into the care and maintenance of wiper blades
According to Al Eskesen, the Owner of Ootmar Automotive Ltd., "The wiper blades of today are designed to ensure visibility and weather the most unhospitable of driving conditions. However, they won't last long if they are abused or used in a number of situations which accelerate wear."
The spokesperson also added that a few simple tips are all car owners need to implement to ensure that their wiper blades do not fail them when they need them the most. "Gone are the days when wiper blades used to
cost $8. The equipment is expensive and dust or debris can render it inoperable if it is not maintained on a regular basis. Regular maintenance can maintain its durability."
An employee from the company added, "We have been called on to replace countless wiper blades. And most clients admit that keeping their equipment clean is last on their agenda. Plus, they never take other factors such as ice or snow into account. Any dirt or foreign particle that gets lodged in there is bound to cause damage to the windshield or get damaged itself once it is turned on."
The employee advises clients to lift their wiper blades from the windshield so that the equipment does not get stuck to the glass. He further advises vehicle owners to clear snow loads manually instead of depending on their wiper blades to clear it for them for those heading up to the mountains for spring skiing
According to the employee, initiatives such as these not only prevent wiper blades from damaging irreparably, they also preserve the complex system that controls them. The employee ended his observations by advising clients to update their current wiper blades by replacing them with only quality sets.

In an age where first and second-round draft picks are expected to make an instant impact, some might call Paul Kruger a bust.
Doing so would be a mistake.
Yes, the Ravens 2009 second-round pick has started just one game in his two seasons in the NFL. Yes, there have been a couple stretches where he's been a gameday inactive for a few weeks in a row, including at the start of this season when he spent the first three games on the sidelines and out of uniform. Yes, he's made just 13 tackles in 14 career games played.
But, after making a move from outside linebacker to defensive end this offseason and spending the last several months trying to learn the fundamentals of a new position, Kruger has been coming on strong lately. He recorded his first career NFL sack last week against the Panthers, and the Ravens' coaches have been very pleased with the progress he's made.
"Paul's done a good job," head coach John Harbaugh said. "He's worked hard. I'm excited about it. He's got to work on technique and fundamentals - the little things from a technique standpoint - because he's already got the motor. He's got good athleticism. But, if he can become a real great technique player - which he's made huge strides on this year - he can be, I think, a real special player."
Kruger admits that it's nice to hear such complimentary reviews from the Ravens coaches. There were times last season where it appeared he had fallen out of favor with the coaching staff because of his inability to pick up the special teams aspects of the game, and he was unable to make much of an impact playing behind Terrell Suggs at the rush linebacker spot.
He's slowly making progress in his new role as a down defensive lineman, however, and is happy that his progress is getting noticed.
"I think everybody develops a lot in their first year, and I know I experienced that a lot, so I'm happy that they say [I'm improving] because that shows me that what I feel is consistent with what they've seen," Kruger said. "I'm excited about it, and I want to keep going. I want to make a lot more strides.
"I have a lot to improve on in a lot of different areas, and I'm on the best team to do that. I see veterans that have been doing it for 10-plus years, so I'm real excited for the upcoming future."
One thing that makes Kruger valuable to the Ravens' defense is his versatility. He gained 25 pounds this offseason in his move to defensive end, and while he's lost some of that weight during the season, he is big and strong enough to play two spots: behind Cory Redding on the inside and behind Suggs outside.
The main goal with the weight gain was obviously to get Kruger to a size where he could take on offensive linemen in the trenches and become more of a force in the run game. But Harbaugh says that the increased bulk has also forced the Utah product to improve his fundamentals.
"I think it paid off in the sense that it put him down inside during training camp and that forced him to play better technique," Harbaugh said. "He had to play the run with technique. He had to learn how to come off the ball with a flat back, get his hands inside, get his face in there and be a stout player. And that has made him a better pass rusher and it has made him a better run player."
Going forward, Harbaugh says, the finer points will be key with Kruger. It's tougher to work on the fundamentals during the season when the bulk of practice time is spent gameplanning for the next opponent, but that doesn't stop Kruger from spending extra time trying to improve.
"I work on a few things before and after practice as far as pass rush stuff with [outside linebackers coach Ted] Monchino and [defensive line coach Clarence] Brooks," Kruger said. "A lot of it has just been little things that everybody does but that are good to improve on. Your get-offs, your hands, just little stuff."
A lot of work is still left to be done, but for now, Kruger will enjoy the chance he's getting, as well as that first career sack.
"It feels good to get on the board," Kruger said. "I'm hoping to have a lot more."

landscape artist Francis McComas's bold but justified claim for Point
Lobos. All who come here agree that the beauty of this tree-clad
headland is unequaled.
People wax poetic about Point Lobos. Walk the trails. Breathe the clean air deeply. Reflect at your leisure. Discover Nature's spirit for yourself. Inspiration is everywhere, here at Point Lobos. Whether you are looking for it or not, this is the place to find it."
One of the first things you will probably notice is the lace lichens hanging from the trees everywhere. It's a type of algae-moss and benefits the trees:
Deriving its name from the offshore rocks at Punta de los Lobos Marinos, Point of the Sea Wolves, where the sound of the sea lions carries inland, the Reserve has often been called "the crown jewel of the State Park System." Point Lobos has offered many things to millions of people who have visited it over the years. Point Lobos State Reserve has outstanding passive recreation values, such as sightseeing, photography, painting, nature study, picnicking, SCUBA diving, and jogging. In addition to the spectacular beauty, nearly every aspect of its resources is of scientific interest. There are rare plant communities, endangered archeological sites, unique geological formations, and incredibly rich flora an fauna of both land and sea.

Did it look that way from up high, too?

Life. It can be unpredictable at best which is probably why the insurance industry has grown to the size that it has. With that growth, insurance companies have come and gone, but most of us are familiar with the big names in the voluntary benefits world. When shopping around, it's hard to tell who offers the best product for the best price. So, how do you know you're getting the coverage that you, your family, or your employees need and deserve? We're going to tell you how to find the right insurance coverage today.
Some Things to Consider When Signing up for a Voluntary Benefits Plan
Perhaps one of the most important things to consider when searching for the right benefits plan is whether or not the prospective company takes a genuine interest in your needs, so they can find the right solution for you. Few companies take the time to listen to their clients and if you have the opportunity to work with a voluntary benefits provider that has designed coverage based on customer feedback; then that's a company you should seriously consider working with.
Another thing to consider, is choosing a company that is willing to work with you and/or your employees. Most insurance companies take a "one-size-fits-all" approach when offering plans and packages to their clients. When considering a voluntary benefits provider, you want to look for flexibility and a company that is client-focused.
Also, if they assign someone to work one-on-one with each of your employees during the enrolment process by educating them on the different coverage options. This will give your employees a better understanding about their coverage, and that's so important since most people often don't understand what their coverage can actually do for them.
What Type of Coverage to Get
The great thing about working with a voluntary benefits provider that listens to the needs of its customers is, you won't end up buying coverage that doesn't apply to you, your family, or coverage that doesn't set your company apart from the rest. Rather than offering pre-designed packages, it's nice to know that someone is willing to offer you coverage based on your needs.
The type of coverage your chosen provider should be willing to offer:
Where to Find the Right Voluntary Benefits Provider
Try doing a search under words like, "voluntary insurance, employee voluntary benefits, voluntary benefits for employees, and disability insurance". You'll most likely find a host of companies under these words, but remember to take the time to do your research, so you can offer a competitive and comprehensive benefits package to your employees.

The United States is beset by four deficits: a fiscal deficit, a jobs deficit, a deficit in public investment, and an opportunity deficit. The budget proposals put forward by the presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, could reduce the fiscal deficit, but would exacerbate the other three.
To be sure, Romney and Ryan have failed to provide specifics about how they would reduce the fiscal deficit, relying on "trust me" assertions. But the overarching direction of their proposals is clear: more tax cuts, disproportionately benefiting those at the top, coupled with significantly lower non-defence discretionary spending, disproportionately hurting everybody else – and weakening the economy's growth prospects.
Despite 30 months of private-sector job growth, the US still confronts a large jobs deficit. The unemployment rate remains more than two percentage points above the "normal" rate (when the economy is operating near capacity). Moreover, the labour-force participation rate remains near historic lows.
More than 11m additional jobs are needed to return the US to its pre-recession employment level. At the current pace of recovery, that is more than eight years away. In the meantime, persistent high unemployment reduces the economy's growth potential by robbing today's workers of skills and experience.
When weak aggregate demand causes the economy to operate far below its potential, cuts in government spending enlarge the jobs deficit. Indeed, in his recent speech in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke warned that such cuts significantly inhibit job creation.
Without revealing which programmes he would reduce, Romney promises to slash federal spending by more than $500bn in 2016, capping it at 20% of GDP thereafter. He also promises an immediate 5% cut in non-defence discretionary spending in 2013, on top of the huge cuts already scheduled to take effect. And he has ruled out additional temporary fiscal measures aimed at job creation, like President Barack Obama's proposals for additional grants to states and additional infrastructure spending.
Romney acknowledges that large spending cuts, along with the scheduled expiration of tax cuts at the end of this year, could throw the economy back into recession in 2013. But he vows to steer the economy from the fiscal cliff by extending the tax cuts enacted under George W Bush, doubling down with a further 20% across-the-board cut in income-tax rates and cutting the corporate rate from 35% to 25%.
With the possible exception of the extension of the Bush-era tax cuts, these changes would take considerable time to implement. Even when enacted, their near-term effects on job creation would be minimal. An across-the-board reduction in tax rates performs poorly in terms of budgetary effectiveness (the number of jobs created per dollar of foregone revenue). Payroll-tax relief and spending on programmes like food stamps and unemployment compensation are much more effective.
Romney overstates his tax proposals' long-term growth effects as well. Reducing individual tax rates and taxes on savings and investment at best fosters modest increases in employment, work effort, and income. Despite the Bush-era tax cuts, the 2001-2007 expansion was the worst of the post-war period in terms of investment, employment, wage, and GDP growth. Job creation and growth were much stronger following President Bill Clinton's tax increases in the 1990s.
Moreover, if all of Romney's additional tax cuts were financed in a revenue-neutral way, as he promises, only the composition of taxes would change; the overall tax share of GDP would not. There is no evidence that this would significantly boost growth, as Romney claims.
Based on what Romney has told us, we can conclude that his plan would exacerbate the public-investment deficit as well. Romney's vow to cap federal spending at 20% of GDP by 2016, while maintaining defence spending at 4% of GDP and leaving both Social Security and Medicare unchanged for those 55 or older, implies exempting more than 50% of government spending from cuts for the next decade. So, to hit the 20% cap, spending on everything else would have to be slashed by an average of roughly 40% by 2016 and 57% by 2022.
Everything else includes government investments in three major areas on which growth and high-wage jobs depend: education, infrastructure, and research. These areas account for less than 8% of federal spending, and their share has been declining steadily. Under Romney, it would plummet to new lows.
Everything else also includes spending on programmes that help low-income families, like food stamps, student grants, and Medicaid. The Centre on Budget and Policy Priorities finds that almost two-thirds of the Ryan budget's spending cuts would come from such programmes. Romney offers few specifics, but simple arithmetic shows that his plan would require even deeper cuts in these programmes than Ryan's plan would.
Meanwhile, Romney's plan would actually increase taxes on middle-income families. His plan would pay for lower income-tax rates by eliminating tax deductions like those for charitable giving and mortgages, while maintaining tax preferences for saving and investment. But there are not enough tax breaks for the rich to cover another 20% reduction in their income-tax rate. That is why the nonpartisan Tax Policy Centre found that Romney's plan would cut overall taxes for households with incomes above $200,000, but would require an average annual tax increase of at least $2,000 for households with incomes between $100,000 and $200,000.
Romney's budget plan would also make the federal tax-and-transfer system considerably less progressive, thereby worsening income inequality, which is already at its highest level since the Great Depression. Rising income inequality fuels a growing opportunity deficit for children born into poor and middle-income families, reflected in disparities in educational attainment by family background, and a decline in intergenerational mobility. Under Romney, the opportunity deficit would widen, robbing the country of future talent and productivity.
Romney has provided few details about his deficit-reduction plan. But, based on what he has revealed, we know that it would increase the jobs deficit, the investment deficit, and the opportunity deficit, with negative consequences for future growth and prosperity.

Ingredients list for "gummy bear" cohesive gel implants manufactured by Allergan, Mentor, Sientra, and silimed?
Does anyone have access to an ingredients list/method of process and creation for cohesive silicone gel implants. I want to do some cross ref and study on what I may end up putting in my body (as an option)
Doctor Answers 2
Choose a saline implant
Nobody has a list of components of these implants, they are trade secrets!!! If these are concerns, get saline implants. They can give you an excellent outcome without the additional issues. The choice between saline and silicone is one that requires a complex discussion of all of the advantages and disadvantages of both implants. The issues to be considered are safety, density, mobility, rippling, rupture rate, consequences of rupture, detection of rupture, need for follow-up care, cost of follow-up, appearance, feel, sensation of heaviness, radio-density, mammograms, and costs, among other things. There are advantages and disadvantages of both products. The decision will ultimately be up to you based on what is appropriate for your particular situation. Beautiful results can be obtained with either implant. Sientra and silimed are the same company.

Ngredients list for "gummy bear" cohesive gel implants manufactured by Allergan, Mentor, Sientra, and silimed
I would recommend to contact directly the companies and ask for the product insert. The product inserts are mandatory by the FDA and should list all the components of the breast implants approved in the US.

Executives of both companies said the merger would give birth to a world- scale, international insurance group which would rank ninth in continental Europe by market value.
World-wide, 5,000 jobs will go in an effort to extract pounds 225m a year in cost savings after the merger is completed. The two companies yesterday said a one-off sum of pounds 300m would be spent in order to implement the savings.
The combined group, to be known by the three initials CGU, will have a world-wide staff of roughly 53,000. It will be the second biggest general insurer in the UK, after Royal & Sun Alliance, with a market share of 10 per cent, and the fifth biggest life insurer, holding more than 5 per cent of the market.
If shareholders approve the merger, Sir John Carter, chief executive of Commercial Union, will retire in June in favour of Bob Scott, chief executive of General Accident. Pehr Gyllenhammar, currently chairman of CU, will lead a board consisting of four directors from CU and three from GA.
Sir John yesterday said there were significant new opportunities in Europe as private savings and insurance policies were used to top up state protection. "Both companies believe that CGU will be much more strongly positioned to capitalise on these opportunities than either company could on its own," he said.
Unions yesterday gave a tentative welcome to the merger, calling the combined company a "positive force" which could survive in a competitive market. But they warned they would need firm assurances on compulsory redundancies.
Roger Lyons, general secretary of the Manufacturing, Science and Finance union, yesterday said: "The MSF will be seeking urgent consultations and agreement with both GA and CU to avoid any involuntary redundancies arising from this proposed merger.
"Financial sector mergers are threatening too many quality jobs and careers and so the MSF will be taking all necessary steps to safeguard the thousands of jobs in Scotland, York, Stevenage and other centres, while seeking to retain a realistic branch network across the UK."
Executives said they hoped to shed jobs among the 10 per cent of staff that left the companies each year. But they refused to rule out compulsory redundancies. Directors were unable to specify how many of the group's branches would disappear but said closures would be spread across the UK.
Industry observers expect many of the job losses to fall in London, while the group keeps slimmed-down operations in Glasgow, York, Dundee and Croydon.
The merger may lead to an improvement in job prospects in Perth, home of GA's head office, where the new group will house its combined general insurance arms, leading to an expansion of its Scottish staff. General insurance makes up the majority of new business going to both groups.
Mr Scott said the pounds 225m in cost savings would flow from shedding staff, cutting surplus property and by using the same IT systems. IT is the biggest element of capital expenditure at Commercial Union. "It is becoming increasingly complex and increasingly costly to establish IT systems. Merging these two companies will give us what we need to establish common systems to save on IT costs," Mr Scott said.
The City reacted coolly to the deal and sharply marked down the shares in both companies. CU slipped to 1103p from 1130p while GA dropped by 85 points to 1370p.

His presentation had the weighty title of "How Analytics has Limited the Impact of Cognitive Bias on Personnel Decisions," and it lasted all of about 25 minutes in a small room at the Boston Convention Center on Saturday morning.
What it really was was the Toronto Maple Leafs finally allowing a peek behind the curtain, with assistant GM Kyle Dubas serving as the guide to how the richest team in hockey has changed.
Yes, they are using analytics, he told the audience at the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference.
No, they aren't surprised they haven't had instant results.
"There's teams that are so far even ahead of us in our own league," Dubas explained after his presentation, which outlined five biases – confirmation bias, recency bias, information bias, sample size bias, simplicity bias – that using statistics have helped him avoid. "And we're trying to play catch-up as fast as we can. You've got to watch it because if you try to rush it you stumble and fall."
The Leafs may not have been rushing, but their thought process has certainly undergone a rapid overhaul the last seven months. New president Brendan Shanahan made hiring Dubas his first dramatic move in late July last year – after the draft and free agency – and the culture within the franchise has slowly evolved from there.
GM Dave Nonis remains onboard but as a willing mentor and pupil, someone willing to teach but also to learn what Dubas – and his growing team of analysts and counters – see in hockey's new numbers.
After years of being represented at Sloan only by former GM Brian Burke, who offered his annual griping about analytics routine on the weekend, the Leafs had five staffers in attendance – the most of any NHL team and more than most professional teams period.
The difference in the messaging between Leafs management, old and new, couldn't be more stark.
"The notion that you can sit behind a computer and find athletes is bullshit," Burke grumbled during his time on panel with Nate Silver, among others. Later, he added "this is still an eyeballs business."
"What analytics taught me is your eyes and your mind are lying sons of bitches in the worst absolute way," Dubas said earlier in the day, directly refuting Burke's eyeballs adage.
Sloan is always about a lot of numbers. But where there's universal agreement between everyone is that winning is the end goal, and wins have been hard to come by in Year 1 under the new regime in Toronto.
That has bred skeptics – the kind that fill Dubas's Twitter feed after every loss.
Much of his talk at Sloan centered on his three years with the Soo Greyhounds in the Ontario Hockey League. Dubas explained some of his early failures and eventual success of using analytics there to turn a basement dwelling team into a contender in relatively short order.
The parallels with the Leafs were obvious – and it was hard to not read into his comments when he discussed the transformative effect a coaching change had with the Greyhounds.
The Leafs made a similar move in firing Randy Carlyle early January but have remained in freefall (4-16-2) since despite an uptick in analytics like possession (from 44.2 to 48.5 per cent).
The implication was that that will change and the results will come.
"What I learned was the extreme value of the buy-in throughout the organization," Dubas said as he presented a graph of the Greyhounds' dramatic improvement in possession data after hiring Sheldon Keefe as coach. "From the president down to the manager to the coach and scouts… You're going to have a lot more success than if you have one person on your staff alone saying this is important.
"If you have a coach that isn't really buying into it and you're bringing in personnel that are analytics-friendly and you have a coach that isn't, it's not going to work, because they have to work together. They can't work separately."
The Leafs now have that buy-in, especially where it's most important. Shanahan believes hockey's data movement will help them, and he's greenlighted the use of considerable resources for new hires and technology this season.
Shanahan has also pushed Dubas to explain his conclusions better, including a recent presentation to Leafs ownership where he had to outline the role variance – by way of a stat called PDO – has played in their recent woes.
"You're paying your staff millions of dollars," Dubas said of his owners, led by Bell and Rogers. "You don't want to hear [the results] are influenced by luck."
Beyond the buy-in, the second part of Dubas's message at Sloan was that this transformation will also take time – especially for the Leafs. In Sault Ste. Marie, any mistake was washed away in two or three years because, by its very nature, junior hockey is cyclical. Players enter at 16 or 17 and quickly age out.
The time frames involved are much longer in the NHL, and mistakes can be more punishing – even with get-out-of-jail-free cards like the one Toronto lucked into in dealing David Clarkson's contract on Thursday.
What that means is it could take years – three, four, or even more – to see the real results from the Leafs pursuit of this analytical path.
They've made major strides, but they've also only just begun.
"I think it's going to take longer here," Dubas said. "In the OHL, your players, their eligibility, it expired. Here you draft a player and you might have four or five years before he's contributing. Or more. It's very rarely an overnight thing.
"We've seen this before," he added of the Leafs' struggles. "It's part of the process. It takes time. It doesn't happen overnight. When you're using analytics, people are [insulting] you and they're saying, 'Well, I thought this was supposed to change everything? What about your numbers?' "It's not magic. It's really not magic. It's a process, and it's hard work, and it's difficult, and you have to push your way through it."Report Typo/Error

The new Cat 415F2 Industrial Loader Tractor combines the basic design of the Cat 415F2 backhoe with purpose-built components designed specifically for industrial-loader applications.
Operator station and controls
The new model is available in canopy or cab configurations, standard 5-function rear valve and 3-function loader valve, dual location differential lock, low-effort pilot-type controls for the box blade scraper, and sealed storage compartment. An available security key pad disables the engine, transmission, and hydraulic systems at machine start-up until a pass-code is entered (25 pass-code capacity). Canopy models are fitted with a roof cap that reduces heat in the operator's station, while allowing good sight line to the loader. Cab models feature an HVAC system with recirculation, wide-coverage pantograph wipers with great visibility and wide opening windows for ventilation. This machine also features either the cellular- or satellite-based Product Link telematics system. The standard three-function loader valve uses mechanical controls, with single-lever control for models with a general-purpose (GP) bucket and two-lever control for models with a multi-purpose (MP) bucket (available with fold-over forks).
Power train and structures
The 415F2 Industrial Loader uses a Cat C3.4B engine, rated at 72 net peak horsepower, that meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage IV emissions standards with an under-hood diesel particulate filter and diesel oxidation catalyst; diesel exhaust fluid is not required. The new model is equipped with a standard shift, four-speed transmission with a quick-reversing, power-shuttle feature. Also standard is a four-wheel-drive system (mechanical front drive) that can be used in two-wheel drive with four-wheel braking, which reduces tire wear and drivetrain wear. Brakes are wet multi-disc. Standard tires are 12 50/80-18 in the front and 16.9-24 rear.

London, Jan 3 (ANI): About 17 percent of British women with healthy weight describe themselves as 'fat' - with almost as many saying they felt 'down' when they looked in the mirror, says a new research.
And just one out of 17 women actually consider themselves 'slim', reports the Daily Mail.
A woman who slips confidently into a size 12 jeans might be the envy of her larger friends, but the reality is she still hates what she sees in the mirror.
The research, based on more than 2,200 volunteers by diet company Slimming World, provides a disturbing insight into self-esteem of British women.
The participants were asked to look at themselves in the mirror and select from 12 adjectives to describe how they felt or looked.
They were also measured to determine whether they were overweight or stood within the healthy limits.
Among those women whose weight was judged to be just right, only 13 percent said they felt happy when they saw themselves in the mirror and only six percent - or one in 17 - thought they were slim.
The research also involved men, who, however, showed much more body confidence.
Just 6 percent of men with a healthy weight described themselves as fat.
"Women worry much more than men about what people think and they hate how they look and feel. Buying clothes and getting dressed to go out becomes a major anxiety," said Slimming World MD Caryl Richards.
The company's poll also found the obese struggle with their emotions in at least five everyday situations, from looking in the mirror and at holiday snaps, to seeing old friends, trying clothes on in a shop, and getting dressed for a night out.
Psychologist Pam Spurr, who discusses body image in her book 'How To Be A Happy Human', said many women are not satisfied unless they are 'supermodel thin'. (ANI)

Q. My daughter has little white things on her hair and I'm not sure what they are. I was thinking that they are head lice nits, but my friends told me that she should have live bugs if she had lice and I am not seeing anything crawling around. Could it just be dandruff or ringworm or something? She has long thick hair, the white things are attached to the hairs and are hard to get off, and her scalp is itchy.

A. They sound like nits or lice eggs, which are often confused with dandruff. Unlike dandruff however, nits are hard to remove, as they are firmly attached to your child's hair by a type of glue. A visit to your Pediatrician or the school nurse might be helpful to see if she really has head lice.

If she had a ringworm infection on her scalp, you would also expect her scalp to be red and that she might have some patches of hair loss (alopecia).

Head Lice Treatments

Now if she does have lice, the question is what do you do since you don't see any live lice. Many experts actually don't recommend treating a child with a head lice shampoo if they just have nits, unless you see live lice.

But if there aren't any live lice, then where did the nits come from? Since the nits are the eggs of adult lice, they did come from a live louse, but it could have died already or been inadvertently removed. So you could remove the remaining nits and see what happens. If you continue to see new nits, then there are definitely live lice remaining and you should treat your child.

The location of the nits can also give you some hint as to whether your child has live lice on her head. Are they all very far from her scalp? New eggs can usually be found within about 1/4 inch of your child's scalp, so if all of the nits are much further away, then they may have already hatched and may be old. If you are finding many nits close to your child's scalp, then she likely does still have live lice on her head.

The fact that she has an itchy scalp also points to an active head lice infestation.

Finding Head Lice

One thing to keep in mind is that the fact that you aren't seeing live lice doesn't mean that they aren't there. Since lice are only about the size of a sesame seed and are very fast moving, they can be hard to find.

And if your child has long, thick hair, especially if it is brown, it can be even harder to spot lice (adult lice are usually tan colored, so can blend in with brown hair).

Plus, each adult female louse can lay up to 8 nits a day and can live for up to 30 days, so you might see a lot of nits on your child's head, but only have a handful of live lice crawling around.

See our Head Lice Pictures for more help on identifying head lice and our Head Lice Treatment Guide for more information on what to do when you find them.

Novartis and Vectura Confirm Positive Data from First Phase III Study with COPD Drug
Vectura announced that its licensee, Novartis, reported positive data from the first Phase III clinical trial with the once-daily COPD therapy NVA237 (glycopyrronium bromide). The pivotal 26-week Glow1 placebo-controlled study met its primary endpoint of demonstrating that the long-acting muscarinic antagonist significantly improved bronchodilation.
Vectura and partner Sosei licensed NVA237 to Novartis in 2005. Vectura says launch of the drug for once-daily COPD monotherapy is planned for 2012. The first launch of QVA149, a fixed-dose combination therapy comprising NVA237 and Novartis' one long-acting beta2 agonist indacaterol, is planned for 2013. Indacaterol itself is already approved in over 50 countries, with an FDA decision expected in July.
Vectura received a $7.5 million milestone payment from Novartis in May last year on the latter's start of Phase III development with QVA149 in patients with COPD. The Phase III program includes two separate year-long international trials. The first will compare the effects of treatment using either QVA149 or NVA237 monotherapy on the rate of exacerbations in nearly 2,000 patients with severe or very severe COPD. The second placebo-controlled trial will evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of QVA149 in 339 patients.

When an ex-spouse makes payments to a former spouse after the divorce, the payments are called alimony. Alimony payments (also called spousal support) are intended to preserve the lifestyle the former spouse enjoyed before the divorce. Unlike child support, which is a required payment to fund a child's necessities, no one is guaranteed alimony. If a couple can't agree, a judge decides whether to award alimony. A divorce lawyer who specializes in alimony knows what information you need to calculate alimony, and can also help if you feel your ex-spouse is asking for too much alimony.

Dark meat, ickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
I only eat white meat turkey or chicken
I love dark meat. I don't care how bad it is for me either. I'll take plenty of the skin too.
Only white for me, thanks! dark meat's texture is a turn-off for me, bleh
I prefer white meat, but I'm not really that picky! My boyfriend, however, is extremely picky! He doesn't eat meat off the bone, and it has to be white meat. He will not eat the turkey if it cooked as a whole turkey. Usually, he's perfectly fine with just eating the different sides available, but I'm gonna do something a little different for him this year. Since Thanksgiving is my absolute FAVORITE holiday, I think he should enjoy it as much as I do. So, this year, besides the baked, stuffed turkey my parents are doing, and the fried one they're taking to my bro's, I'm gonna go buy a boneless turkey breast (like the one Racheal Ray did), and bake it up for him. I feel like I'm being an awesome girlfriend!
I prefer white meat, but I don't really eat that much turkey on Thanksgiving. I much prefer the side dishes ;)
Oh, and julieulie: I never cared for Thanksgiving much either because of the food. It's just not a meal I enjoy that much, although everyone else seems to go crazy for it. We're the oddballs, I guess. :)
I'm not crazy about turkey, but eat both dark and white parts when I have it.
"White meat" said big momma. Poor guy
Good, more dark for me! Dark tastes the best! Otherwise I'd eat the white because it's lower in calories, but it's a holiday... load me up on dark.
I can't wait til turkey day!!!
I don't eat the dark meat.
I like mollywog's philosophy: white for sandwiches and dark when it's nice and hot. It's hard to discriminate because white meat is good with gravy and sauces, and dark is so moist on its own.

"What's all this about?" I asked, curious,

More than 100 million users are on Pinterest, the online bulletin board-style service which allows people to "pin" images based on their interests, the California company said.
Co-founder Evan Sharp told AFP that most of the users "are not just visiting Pinterest once a month, but they're actually discovering something so interesting that they're saving it or are clicking through to the website."
"It's 100 million active users, more than 70 percent of whom are actively engaged," he said in a telephone interview.
The disclosure from Pinterest is the first time since its launch in March 2010 that it has discussed the number of users.

I just got a new laptop (a long story that I will document some day), and I had to transfer my account over from the old one. I used rsync to do it, and everything works just as I had it. I know that this is how it works, but little things like this make me realize how cool this tech is. I am glad I do the work I do. ^_^
Tag: orenji
Setting the hostname in Fedora 18
I didn't get to install the OS on my new laptop… oh yeah, I got a new laptop! It is awesome, and I will write about it somewhere.
Anyhow, I opted for Fedora 18, and the ZaReason folks installed it for me. It is nice having it ready to go, although it was funny to see some wierd name at the login…
I don't have complex hard drive setups, so the only thing that I needed to set correctly was the hostname for this new machine. A bit harder than normal, since there were changes to how it works from Fedora 17. However, it is pretty easy to fix with a tool called hostnamectl.
Checking the status shows what the hostnames are set as:
[bash light="true"]
[maiki@localhost ~]$ hostnamectl status
Static hostname: localhost.localdomain
Pretty hostname: n/a
Icon name: computer-laptop
Chassis: laptop
Machine ID: 69d27b356a94476da859461d3a3bc6fd
Boot ID: 1da3adf2786146f681afd9f9983c9f8d
Operating System: Fedora 18 (Spherical Cow)
CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:fedoraproject:fedora:18
Kernel: Linux 3.7.9-205.fc18.x86_64
Architecture: x86_64
My laptop designation is orenji, so I use:
[bash light="true"]
[maiki@localhost ~]$ hostnamectl set-hostname orenji
Then another status shows:
[bash light="true"]
[maiki@localhost ~]$ hostnamectl status
Static hostname: orenji
Pretty hostname: orenji
Icon name: computer-laptop
Chassis: laptop
Machine ID: 69d27b356a94476da859461d3a3bc6fd
Boot ID: 1da3adf2786146f681afd9f9983c9f8d
Operating System: Fedora 18 (Spherical Cow)
CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:fedoraproject:fedora:18
Kernel: Linux 3.7.9-205.fc18.x86_64
Architecture: x86_64
And of course if you open a new terminal, you will see your new hostname in the default prompt:
[bash light="true"]
[maiki@orenji ~]$
Apple continues to irritate me
I picked up orenji today, from the Apple store. I thought my computer problems were over. I was incorrect.
When I picked it up, I noticed that a screw was missing from the side of the chassis. I brought this to the attention of the person helping me, and they took it in back for five minutes, annoying everyone in line behind me. Meanwhile, three Apple store employees lounged nearby, with no one to help…
Anyhow, when they returned, they informed me that it was aesthetic, the screw didn't hold anything on, and they didn't have one that fit, but I could leave my computer with them and they could check it back in. For a screw.
Obviously fed up, I signed for it and left. I went to a cafe nearby, and the computer is working great. It wasn't over-heating, and it is operating as I expect it to. It was nice having it back. Then I got home.
We have a large conference table, our dining and working area. I unpacked orenji and placed it on the table, and was treated to this horrible scraping sound. I thought I set it on some small rocks or something, so I wiped the table and placed it again; same sound. Turns out the pads on the bottom of laptop, one in each corner, are gone. Instead there are four round pieces of plastic that the laptop now sits on, and the slightest movement (say, from typing) causes it to shift and scrap the surface it is on.
I called the store, and they told me that I would need to make an appointment with the Genius Bar. I asked them if they were serious, and they acted as if that would be the fastest way. They obviously have never tried to get an appointment there. Besides one at 10:30AM tomorrow, the next one would be in the evening on Thursday. They said I could probably just come in and talk to someone, so I took their name and am planning on it.
The morale of the story is that I took my computer is to be fixed, and they broke it in a different way, and are no bending over backwards to fix it when made aware of it. That is sub-par customer service, and I am tired of this process.
The computers live!
Read the title like Dr. Frankenstein is saying it, that gets the point across. The woes are over. Cloud was done on Friday, and I got a call today that orenji is ready to be picked up from the Apple store. Cool.
However, it is only a matter of time, I am convinced, that my laptop dies again. I am going to continue to use it for work, but I am going to marginalize its importance in my workflow. Time to start saving for a new machine, something hardy and portable. Still looking at the Hoverboard.
I just also want a multi-touch touchpad. Hmmm.
