According to the Personal Data Act, the access right may only be denied if disclosing the information would cause serious danger to the patient's health or treatment or to the rights of someone else. If Diacor refuses your access right, it will issue a written certificate as referred to in section 28 of the Personal Data Act. The certificate will contain the reasons for the refusal and instructions on how to appeal the decision. In case of underage persons, the access right may be exercised by their parent/guardian or other legal representative. If an underage person is capable of making decisions related to his/her treatment and asks his/her patient data not to be disclosed to a parent/guardian or other legal representative, the latter will not have the right to access the patient documents.

The cost of connecting up to the Internet is set to fall sharply following new pricing initiatives unveiled yesterday by British Telecom and the industry regulator, Oftel.
The cost of connecting up to the Internet is set to fall sharply following new pricing initiatives unveiled yesterday by British Telecom and the industry regulator, Oftel.
The new price tariffs could cut the cost of access to the web by 20 per cent. They follow an explosive growth in BT's Internet revenues and increased pressure on the company from Oftel to reduce its charges.
BT announced that from next spring, consumers and small businesses will be able to gain unlimited Internet access by paying a single fixed charge each month.
Oftel meanwhile said that Internet access would be possible for less than the price of a local call as early as next month under a new charging arrangement whereby the cost of a telephone call is split in two.
The new package from BT, known as BT SurfTime, offers a range of fixed monthly fees in place of the current tariffs where users pay local call charges to connect up. The options vary from unlimited free access at the weekends or evenings for £6.99 a month to a tariff offering free access at anytime for £34.99 a month. The average household, dialling up the Internet for 15 hours a month would save £2 in call charges while heavy users would save a good deal more.
However, there is a sting in the tail because free Internet Service Providers may have to start levying a subscription charge on users to connect up under the new BT tariffs.
At present, free ISPs such as Freeserve, which operates in partnership with Energis, make their money through advertising and taking a share of the local call revenues. But under the new BT arrangements, they would not receive any call income.
David Edmonds, the director general of Oftel, welcomed BT's announcement, saying that customers would be able to connect up at more competitive rates. Oftel has been investigating BT's charges since September following complaints that they were excessive and discriminatory. BT's Internet and data revenues are doubling each year and now account for about 25 per cent of all its local call revenues.
Angus Porter, BT's director of marketing, said that the new Internet tariff structure would encourage more people to get online by capping their call charges. BT will continue to offer a pay-as-you-go option to those who used the Internet rarely. Mr Porter also said they new tariffs did not discriminate against those customers who used the telephone less often and then only to make voice calls. They would continue to be charged a lower fixed rental while paying for the calls they made.
Oftel's "two-part charging" proposals would split the cost of a call into two separate components - an initial charge for setting up the call and another charge for maintaining the connection during the call. Mr Edmonds said this would enable ISPs to chose what the pence per call rate should be for their customers.
To facilitate the changeover, Oftel is introducing an 0844 code for Internet access, charged at local call rates, and an 0808 code for free and unmetered Internet access.Reuse content

It featured in The Lawyer's headlines early last year when it took a large chunk of local rival Fox Hayes, another Leeds firm that subsequently went into administration.
Lupton Fawcett hired 10 Fox Hayes partners, including managing partner Philip Drazen, 17 other fee-earners and 11 support staff, which provided it with additional resources in commercial property, corporate, litigation, personal injury and sports law.
A few months later in September Lupton Fawcett acquired specialist corporate tax and healthcare firm Hackett Windle, a deal that plugged a gap in the firm's corporate finance group and gave it an office in Sheffield for the first time.
Now the firm is looking for more deals to plug more gaps and potentially extend its reach beyond its current local borders. The plan is to grow the firm sufficiently – the ballpark revenue figure is £25m – so that it can compete in a post-Clementi world.
"We're a small business, but we'd like to be bigger," stresses Lupton Fawcett managing director Richard Marshall. "There's no magic about the £25m target – it could be a few million either side. The real key is for us to be a business that's fit for purpose today and fit for purpose in three years' time."
The growth during the past 12 months, during which some 70 people have joined the firm, has to be set against the redundancies it has made, which totalled around 20 lawyers and staff.
The firm now has around 200 staff in total and Marshall for one is confident that the firm is nearing its goal of having a "clear and solid" offering and a "well-communicated" brand.
"In three to five years," Marshall adds, "if you don't have those, you'll be vulnerable."
Managing director: Richard Marshall
Turnover: £11.1m
Number of directors: 39
Number of directors (with more than 50 per cent equity remuneration): 35
Number of lawyers: 84

Micro-organisms play a fundamental role in the environment. Yet their role is the result of complex biogeochemical processes by consortia of micro-organisms and the function of individual species is not clear in many cases.
This publication provides an overview of the current situation and relevant developments in environmental microbiology, as well as its potential application, which covers: use of micro-organisms for agriculture, production purposes, bioremediation, and cleaning purpose; environmental applications of microbial symbionts of insects; and environmental risk/safety assessment of the deliberate release of engineered micro-organisms.

As environmental pressures continue to rise, governments throughout the OECD area have not been sitting back. If anything, the stringency of their policy measures has been increasing on the whole, not least to combat pollution and climate change. And as the evidence shows, stringent environmental policies can be introduced without hurting overall productivity.
This project aims to take stock of policy measures that may distort international competition and hamper international investment in renewable energy. The resulting report provide will policy makers with evidence-based analysis to guide their decisions in designing clean energy support policies.
Green is not only compatible with growth; green is a source of growth. Sweden was one of the first countries to understand this and showed tremendous leadership when it introduced the world's first carbon tax in 1991, amidst the economic crisis. Yet there is so much more that can be done to foster a fast transition to a low-carbon world whilst creating the competitive economies of the future.
Korea has been at the forefront of green growth initiatives. The National Strategy for Green Growth (2009-2050) and the Five-Year Plan (2009-2013) of Korea provide a comprehensive policy framework for green growth in both the short and long term.
Report finds that some Korean policies, such as urban regeneration, new town development or multi-modal transferring centres, have implicitly implemented compact city polices to a certain degree. However, there are still issues - including urban sprawl, unbalanced socio-economic levels and environmental challenges - which can be threats to urban competitiveness.
This report examines Korea's urban policies and offers customised policy recommendations based on the OECD publication, Compact City Policies (2012). Some Korean policies, such as urban regeneration, new town development or multi-modal transfering centers, have implicitly implemented compact city polices to a certain degree. However, there are still issues - including urban sprawl, unbalanced socio-economic levels and environmental challenges - which can be threats to urban competitiveness. An appropriate set of compact city polices, such as environmental friendly urban regeneration, mixed land use, polices to offset the side effects of compact development, strong management of transport demands, and governance enforcement, can accelerate Korean cities' sustainable development.
By 2050, the world's population will have risen to 9 billion. By then, the demand for water will have risen by 55% and demand for food by 60%. And on top of this, a world economy that is four times larger than today could be using up to 80% more energy.
Water security is one of the greatest challenges we face today, yet the situation has never looked more perilous. By 2050 the OECD Environmental Outlook projects that nearly 4 billion people will live in river basins under severe water stress, and global nitrogen effluents from wastewater are projected to grow by 180%. Whilst, over the same period, global demand for water is expected to grow by 55%.
This Initiative was created following the OECD's commitment at the 6th World Water Forum in Marseille in 2012 to spearhead robust economic and evidence-based analysis, tailored policy dialogues, and multi-stakeholder consultation in support of better water governance.

Virginia Fire Danger Closes Hunting in Areas
Several large wildfires are burning in Virginia, with over 19,700 acres already burned. Due to the fires, public access has been closed until it is safer for people to be in these areas. Portions of George Washington and Jefferson National Forests will be closed to hunters for the spring turkey season.
The areas closed are a small portion of the national forests. Hunters still have many land opportunities available to them across the state. A map of the closed areas of George Washington and Jefferson National Forests can be found here: http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/gwj/news-events/?cid=STELPRDB5363131.
Hunters are urged to not park on dry grass areas and to be careful with how they put out their personal smoking materials. From WSLS10.com.

National Geographic has nothing on you
This is like living out your childhood dream to the nth power. What an amazing experience. You went, you saw, and you conquered. I love how you stared death and a 100 meter drop in the face and said 'yeah, what now, sucker!?' all before breakfast - one that included scones. Now, you're officially a badass.

"You see on the left. There is a rock. Do not jump there."
"There, in the middle, by the bubbles. Jump there."
It was about 9:30 in the morning and I was standing on the edge of Victoria Falls. Livingstone Island (so named because it was where the explorer David Livingstone first laid eyes on the falls) sits right against the edge of the abyss. During the high water of the rainy season, most of the island is covered in water that rushes towards a 1.7 kilometre wide, 100 metre deep drop and creates a curtain of mist visible for kilometres. During the dry season, it was possible to take a boat out to the island for a leisurely breakfast, and walk around the island snapping photos. If you were courageous, or particularly stupid, you could wade and swim across the rushing current trying to drag you over the falls to a pool where you could jump in and paddle about merrily, about 3 feet from certain death. While not particularly courageous, I did have the advantage of being remarkable stupid, so I decided to do it.
There was a mother and father with their seven year old son who came along to the island. While not willing to risk the trip themselves, they were more than happy to send little Kyle out to the falls edge on the back of a guide. At least there were people more stupid than me (or maybe the fact they didn't go, but sent their child made them smart. Being childless myself, I'll have to ask some friends.)
We stepped from rock to rock in chest deep water, and then the guide said "You see those rocks. Swim there. Try not to let the current take you too far." Like over the edge of the falls, for example.
Now, I am a reasonably strong swimmer, not a pretty one, but functional. Thanks to help of the older kids at the campground where I spent my summers as a child, I learned to swim from an interesting system called "We throw you into the deep end. You swim or you die." That was the extent of any lessons I ever had. Having said that, I swear to you, when I set off into the current towards those rocks, I was swimming so hard I could have swam UP the entire 100 metre drop from the bottom of the falls.
From the rocks, it was a short walk to a ledge overlooking a small pool that backed directly onto the edge of the falls. It was here our guide gave me instructions. I noticed a small group of people about 100 metres across the chasm on the Zimbabwean side. At least I would have witnesses who could tell my family that I died as I lived: like an idiot.
I jumped.
As I surfaced, one the guides who had jumped before me clapped his hands and then grabbed me. He dragged me over the wall separating us from the drop. The water rushed over us with a strong current, but leaning against the wall of the pool, we happily sat there, about a metre from sheer death. It was nice. Being alive was nice. Not shitting my shorts was nice. Everything was nice.
"Would you like to look over the edge?"
I wasn't sure that would be so nice.
"I will hold your ankles. You crawl out over the edge. Stick your hands over. Look down."
Fortunately, my capacity for stupidity seems to consistently outweigh my capacity for self preservation. I said "Sure strange man I've know for ten minutes, hold my ankles while I crawl out to face certain death. If it's not too much of an inconvenience, please don't let go."
Actually, I kind of laughed weakly and said "Okay."
For a year now I have been traveling through the Middle East and Africa. I have seen and done some incredible things. But there is no question that one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced was leaning out over the edge of Victoria Falls and gazing down into the chasm below. A rainbow started from floor of the chasm and lifted into the sky above. Water roared over the edge to my left and right as far as I could see. It was one of the most elemental moments I've ever had. Nature had carved out this rift in the earth's crust through the sheer, unrelenting force of pounding water. The force of the water hurling off the rim pounded in my chest. The sound roared in my ears, and I felt alive.
Then I waded back to the island to eat my breakfast like a civilized man. Eggs Benedict, with scones and jam. And it was very nice.

AG candidate Brad Schimel proposes program to reduce heroin abuse
3 Democratic opponents also weigh in on limiting drugs
Madison — Republican candidate for attorney general Brad Schimel called Monday for increased training, better coordination with other states and more aggressive prosecution to combat heroin abuse.
The Waukesha County district attorney said heroin dealers are "more dangerous than someone who would fire a gun into a crowded school ground."
Schimel calls his idea the STOP Heroin initiative, which stands for "Support Teaching Opiates Prevention."
It includes provisions to work with neighboring states and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration to share information and training, expand drug treatment courts, improve training for police officers, prosecute doctors who illegally profit from writing opiate prescriptions, educate students and parents about opiate abuse, and make local prescription drug recycling programs widely available.
Schimel said he would roll out aspects of the program quickly if he were elected attorney general, but would need the Legislature to act to advance some parts of the plan.
Schimel is the only Republican running to replace outgoing GOP Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen.
Three Democrats are seeking the job — Jefferson County District Attorney Susan Happ, Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne and state Rep. Jon Richards of Milwaukee. The winner of the Aug. 12 Democratic primary will face Schimel in the Nov. 4 general election.
The three Democrats have also said fighting heroin is a top priority.
In a statement Monday, Happ said she had helped raise awareness of the issue in her county, called for a collaborative response to handling a heroin epidemic and said that as attorney general she would deal with it on multiple fronts — "by aggressively prosecuting heroin dealers and talking with citizens about the addictive nature of opiates and treatment alternatives for those addicted."
In a Monday interview, Ozanne said he was focused on attacking the problem in numerous ways, including gauging the risk of offenders and sending appropriate ones to diversion programs.
"It's not something we can say we're just going to charge and prosecute our way out of," Ozanne said.
Richards said in an interview last week that every county was facing a spike in heroin abuse that needed to be addressed in a comprehensive way. One effort he backs would be to enhance a prescription drug registry so it would be easier to detect instances where addicts seek opiate prescriptions from multiple doctors.

Just today I came across a fascinating website: Clean Flicks is an online movie rental store that provides movies without any graphic sex, graphic violence or graphic language of any kind. Apparently they used to actually edit certain movies for content but they cannot do this anymore for straightforward legal reasons. Their movie catalog is predictably quite bland and heavily skewed towards movies made before about 1950.
This is not the only example of attempts to restrict access to movies with 'questionable' content, of course. We have come a long way since the days of the Hays Code which regulated not just distribution and ratings but the production of movies itself, but we still frequently hear outcries against movies which supposedly lower moral standards by desensitizing people to extreme violence and foul language. There are any number of ratings websites (many but not all of them religious) that discriminate between movies based not on the depth of characterization, quality of cinematography or realism but on the number of cuss words, the square inches of human skin that are exposed and/or the number of physical blows or bullets fired. Movies without graphic content are said to be 'wholesome' and 'decent' while those that feature it, although they include some of the best movies ever made in their number, are called 'vulgar' or 'repulsive' or 'insidious'.
Of course some of these groups have a point when it comes to the kind of movies children should be allowed to see. I wholeheartedly affirm that certain movies are clearly inappropriate for children under a certain level of psychological and moral maturity. I also accept that too many action movies portray violence and sex in a completely unrealistic way that does 'sear the conscience with a hot iron' when it shouldn't. I find it disturbing that one reviewer of the recent torture porn remake The Hills Have Eyes describes the movie as "sadistic, twisted and gruesome...just the way I like'em!" I wouldn't hesitate to call that person morally stunted, even if he/she would claim that in real life they would never endorse or engage in that kind of behavior.
What I do react against, however, is the idea that the only good movies are anodyne movies without any of the grittiness and ambiguity that characterize the real world. Movies, like all good art, should aspire to tell the truth about the world. A great movie is one which opens our eyes to a truth about ourselves or the world that we had forgotten or we never knew in the first place. Often this realization is uncomfortable. We may watch an explicit sex scene that forces us to acknowledge our own voyeuristic tendencies, or identify with a character struggling with lust or abuse. In my view the distinction between pornography, which is audiovisual content with the sole purpose of arousing lustful thoughts and feelings and explicit sex in the context of serious drama is pretty clear. With regard to violence, explicit content may be dramatically necessary in a war movie to really put us 'in there' with the characters, or in an action movie to show how high the stakes are. If done right, movie violence should be disturbing or at least indict us for our fascination with it (there is a great line in Gladiator where Maximus kills his opponents in a particularly gruesome and spectacular fashion and then yells out to the cheering crowd, "Are you not entertained??"). But that is not an excuse to forbid graphic violence in movies. On the contrary, we are supposed to be disturbed.
What these ratings groups miss is the wider narrative in which explicit content has its proper place: the story of a fallen, groaning world yearning for redemption and the appearance of the Sons of God. Many questions still puzzle me about the nature and origin of evil and what place it might have in God's plan. What is clear to me, though, is that this side of eternity conflict (in the dramatic as well as literal sense) is built into the fabric of our world and our psyche. The first lesson aspiring writers learn is that for a story to be interesting, there has to be conflict; something has to stand in the way of what the main character wants, and this something has to 'squeeze' him or her to the point where a fundamental decision has to be made and the character's true nature is revealed. Moral choice is only meaningful when the stakes are real: if nothing really bad could ever happen as a result of being selfish, untruthful, violent or unfaithful these choices would be meaningless. A story in which everyone gets along and gets what they want is a story that no one will read.
This brings me to an interesting observation about skeptics' reaction to the Bible: very often it resembles very much the reaction Christian ratings groups have to 'unwholesome' movies. How can the Bible be the sublime Word of God, they ask, when it has such unwholesome content as adultery, war, torture, cursing and plague? The answer has been hinted at above: the Bible features such content because it is God's message to a fallen world. The only reason it is relevant to so many people is that it rings true to our experience. A G-rated Bible is a Bible that cannot speak to fallen man where he is. No one could take it seriously if it laid out a drama in which nothing bad ever happens to good people, everyone always makes the right choices and God never has to judge those who disobey Him. Like the best movies with explicit content, the Bible tells the truth about the world, but thankfully it also offers hope for a better one even as it takes this one absolutely seriously.

'....s adultery, war, torture, cursing and plague? The answer has been hinted at above: the Bible features such content because it is God's message to a fallen world. '
God's message to a fallen world is that he is going to curse some people, command wars to be fought and send plagues to kill people.
The world is fallen, and the Bible shows God kicking it when it is down.

My wife bought me Vanilla Sky from a place like this a few years back. I saw the movie for the first time on TV, and loved it. But due to sexual scenes, I was unwilling to buy it. This wasn't just some sort of statement for me - I won't buy movies with nudity or extended sex scenes simply because I know my own struggles. Honestly, I think most men would be better off to avoid this type of stuff.
But as you say, there's a line where reality becomes part of effective story telling. For example, I own and love Band of Brothers - a very violent series on WWII. But the violence is not over the top - it's just real. Then again, perhaps there are some stories that just shouldn't be told. A movie that graphically depicts a homicidal maniac enjoying the torturous murder of someone seems to me to fall into that category. If it were really about art, maybe I could deal with it (although, even art should have limits) but you'd be hard pressed to convince me that most of it is actually about art and not just money.
I appreciate your point about the Bible in regards to this though. There's a lady at my church who doesn't want her 9 year old son to read certain parts of the Bible that she deems too violent. I find this a bit odd when we teach even the youngest of our children that all mankind save a handful of people were drowned in a massive flood. That's pretty violent. And as you say, part of the power of the Bible is its ability to speak to a broken world.
I kind of wish we'd do more classes in our churches about some of the stuff that is in the Bible. Due to the inability of our translations, a lot of people don't realize how graphic parts of the Bible are. I've always found it odd that one of the places I feel least comfortable openly talking about certain Biblical passages is when teaching a class or preaching.
- JD Walters said...
Thanks for your great comments. I basically agree with them. If the kind of explicit content a movie has is of such a nature as to tempt people to either glorify violence or acquire an unhealthy view of sex then I think they should avoid it. What I am against is the blanket refusal to concede that a good movie could have any explicit content.
I also agree that there are some 'stories' (I really wouldn't dignify them with that label) which shouldn't be told. I think torture porn like "Hostel" or "The Last House on the Left" just shouldn't be made. There's no point I can see to them. On the other hand, I can stomach the graphic violence in something like "Kill Bill" because it is deliberately over-the-top and the story and characters were good enough, in my view, to justify it. Again, there's not a hard and fast rule.
What and if God does choose to curse some people or send them plagues to further His purposes? Were you there when He laid the foundations of the earth? Did you have a hand in forming the relationship God chose to have with his creatures? Didn't think so.

I don't think the objection is to the fact that there is such content in the Bible, it's the apparent inconsistency between God's alleged goodness and his participation in those unwholesome acts which is at issue.

Could we have a link to atheists saying the Bible should contain no accounts of people committing adultery?
I can probably find links to Christians saying they like reading the bits about people committing adultery.... :-)

WF said: "Can't really figure why the atheists suddenly sound like Puritans when they come across that book"
Because they are hypocrites. On the one hand, they want to portray Christians - esp. fundamentalists - as sex-hating prudes. On the other, they treat Song of Solomon as some sort of dirty little secret among Christians. Furthermore, they go on to take the parts of the Bible describing adultery (e.g. Lot's daughters getting him drunk and having sex with him) and try to portray it as if it is approved behavior for Christians.
Thanks for a great post. I drew attention to it on my blog a few days ago. Even as a secularist I can appreciate where you're coming from. (And don't worry about Steve Carr. He doesn't get it and never will -- right Stevie?)
With regards to Hostel and (the remake of) Last House on the Left, they actually weren't too bad, though each depends on an unrealistic third act of righteous payback which incenses me. A film like Eden Lake is vastly superior, though it would be too nihilistic for you. And no, people who like these kind of films aren't "morally stunted" for liking them (as you suggest), though that's a subject I plan to blog about soon as well.
Best wishes!
- Kelsey said...
I believe that there are a lot of good movies that have questionable content in them. This is why I choose to watch edited versions of those movies. I just don't want to see it. But I also believe that people have the right to choose what they want to see so I have no real objection to the movies being made. I do wish that there were some good film-makers with some good production back up with morals. It seems they're all gone these days.

As the end of the FDA's comment period approaches, CASAA (Consumer Advocates for Smoke-Free Alternatives) has issued its fourth "Call to Action". Now is the time to take definitive action, says CASAA. The premier vaping advocacy group in the USA has issued three earlier calls to action, as well as "Calls to Prepare" and background documents for key congressional bodies and for members. However, until now the group has urged members to wait to submit their final comments, suggesting that comments submitted early might be glossed over, while well-crafted comments submitted as the comment period ends are likely to garner maximal attention and exert maximal impact.
Central to CASAA's argument is the observation that the proposed regulations seem likely to hand over the vaping supplies industry to Big Tobacco, the very group that is seen as the sinister author of a supposed plan to use e-cigs to hook (young) people on nicotine. This implicit view of Big Tobacco as the driving force behind the vaping movement can only be maintained by ignoring obvious facts, since Big Tobacco did not move to muscle in on the vaping industry until 2 years ago, two years after the courts ruled (in a lawsuit against INDEPENDENT e-cig companies) that the FDA could not regulate e-cigs as medicines. At that time Big Tobacco still viewed e-cigs with horror, as just one more drain on their revenues.
The way tight regulation will award the industry to Big Tobacco, according to CASAA, is by requiring vast amounts of expensive paperwork that are likely to sink the small and midsized, independent companies that provide a diverse array of personal vaporizers, vapor-tank systems, e-liquids, and mods – paperwork that the well-heeled cancer merchants of the tobacco industry can easily produce, taking the regulation in affluent stride. Several of the documents CASAA has supplied to Congress deal with the "paperwork reduction act", but the job of reducing paperwork at an organization like the FDA would seem to be a hopeless "task of Sisyphus".
The paperwork demand is worsened, says CASAA, since new products (defined as products introduced after 2007) must establish "substantial equivalence" with existing products or prove clear smoking-cessation benefit, both involving increased paperwork. The FDA has stacked the deck against demonstration of cessation benefit by resisting it in several ways: characterizing thousands of testimonials as "mere anecdotes" rather than as a statistic, declining to initiate studies of cessation benefit, ignoring persuasive studies out of Britain and France, and accepting blindly the flimsy allegations of e-cig opponents who deny cessation benefit.
CASAA maintains, with good reason, that the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have presented a distorted picture of the scientific evidence on the alleged dangers of vaping, blindly accepting negative comment that has flimsy data, and ignoring persuasive studies of low harm levels. A persuasive study can persuade only if it is read by those responsible for taking action. An unread study, no matter how definitive, cannot be "persuasive", lying there at the bottom of the trash bin.
Even more important than cherry picking and differential perusal and acceptance of studies, in CASAA's view, is SPIN. Positive evidence about low dangers of vaping, and cessation benefits, is qualified with phrases like "some sources argue" or "may be the case", while negative allegations are spun with phrases like "doctors say" or "scientific studies indicate".
Given all of the stacking of the deck against advocacy of vaping, only the most well-heeled companies can survive in the regulatory environment likely to emerge from the deeming regulations, says CASAA. The tobacco industry has lots of money from its decades of unregulated hawking of deadly smokes. Tobacco companies can handle the expenses of certifying e-cigarettes, but they are way behind on the diverse products experienced vapers prefer. CASAA argues that, unless the FDA can be persuaded to move in a different direction, Big Tobacco will be the winners, and smokers wishing to quit will be the losers. And the range of available products will shrink to a few "cigalike" e-cigs like those currently produced by Big Tobacco, closely imitating the smoking experience, but lacking the rich diversity of more satisfying products now available.
CASAA's "Fourth Call to Action" says the time is now to present well-reasoned, carefully crafted statements to the FDA. The comment period will close on August 8, and the CASAA website has invaluable guidelines for vapers wishing to craft their statements and submit them.
Carpe diem!

Delving a little deeper into the X360 you'll find a very well specified machine. At the centre of it all is an Intel Core 2 Duo SU9300. This is an ultra-low voltage processor that runs at 1.2GHz and features an 800MHz front side bus and 3MB L2 Cache. This obviously has its limitations, but even though it has a lower clock speed than an Intel Atom processor, it's still significantly more powerful. It is, after all, a dual-core chip that has a faster bus speed and most pertinently, six times as much cache.
Behind this you'll find 3GBs of 1,066MHz DDR3 RAM, while network connectivity is taken care of by an Intel Draft-N Wi-Fi module and Gigabit Ethernet. Bluetooth 2.0 is along for the ride, too, and there's a 1.3-megapixel webcam for video chatting, conferencing and whatever else you might want to get up to.
By far and away the most important component, though, and definitely the most expensive, is the 128GB SSD. This in particular has a fairly dramatic effect on performance. Its fast access speeds mean shorter boot-up times and generally snappy performance, something that tends to suffer when a ULV CPU is paired with a standard mechanical hard drive. Consequently, though you can't churn through processor intensive tasks, everyday multi-tasking is no real obstacle.
It's a fact that's borne out in our benchmarks. PCMark Vantage, which does tend to favour SSDs, shows the X360 putting in an excellent performance. It comes out ahead of the ThinkPad X300 and even manages to match the Sony VAIO Z11WN in the productivity test, where multi-tasking comes before raw number crunching.
Still, when it does come to raw number crunching, as our in-house image editing and video rendering tests show, the limitations are more obvious. Here, the Sony is just under twice as fast as either the ThinkPad or the X360, so if image editing and video authoring are high on your agenda then you should clearly look elsewhere.
Battery life, on the other hand, shows the predictable strengths of a low-power processor. In the productivity segment of MobileMark 2007 the X360 delivers just shy of five hours, coming to a halt at four hours and 54 minutes. In the lower intensity reader test this extends comfortably beyond five hours and were you to decrease screen brightness below 40 per cent, the level we test at, you could easily achieve a similar result when multi-tasking. These are very good results and are more or less identical to those of the ThinkPad X300, even if the likes of the VAIO TZ and TT are still in a league of their own in this department.
Alas, Samsung seem to be shooting for the corporate/education sub- market - in my experience that limit is common.
Gloss = Loss
If Samsung were aiming for the budget concious, what was the point of putting DDR3 RAM in there, when it is so much more expensive than DDR2 and the very small performance increases don't really warrant it (particularly with that processor), especially for this market. They would have been better off just sticking in 3 or even 2GB of DDR2 which would have been fine for a system of this spec. They could then use those savings to upgrade that weak processor to the slightly better ULV SU9400 (1.4GHz), which would only be about another 㿀-㿊 more.
After reading the preview on TR a few months ago, I was seriously considering this notebook. After reading a few reviews, I'm glad I opted for the Sony VAIO VGN-Z11WN/B. The screen, colour of the lid, glossy finish & lack of a built-in optical drive are enough to put me off the Samsung. Might sound trivial, but when you chuck around ٟ.5k at a notebook, you want all your requirements on board!
Hi there,
I've had an X360 for the past couple of weeks and I am delighted with it. Whilst not a perfect product, for me it represents an excellent balance of features, performance and value. This laptop was bought to replace a Sony G series 12inch ultra-portable.
The good aspects of this laptop includes: battery life (full charge gives me five hours word processing plus three hours web browsing with two hours indicated remaining - wireless on at all times), display very sharp (from the box it did look a bit washed out but reducing the extreme factory contrast setting helped alot with this), boot time (can't tell you how annoying Vista boot times were on my previous laptop...this thing is so fast that I sometimes reboot just to see again how quick it is!), cool and really quiet operation, & finally really solid construction both keyboard (which is great) and overall.
The bad: the displays rather limited viewing angle.
The Ugly: Yep...that glossy finish is a pain.
Whilst it will always be horses for courses; for me (and after playing with the Sony TT as my other option) the X360 represented the best balance delivered at a very good price. Don't discount the X360 until you've tried it and the alternatives.
PS: On my scales the X360 is 1.31Kg - still not the quoted 1.29 :o)

The Marriage of Saints:
€ 19,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
September 2006
BeschreibungNo matter how they tell it, wax and plaster saints have nothing on flesh and blood. Just ask Sao Esperitu, a young woman with the clean eyes and the healing power. Sometimes a miracle looks like a bloody dog in the driveway, needing to be healed. Other times it's a Native American ex-con on a Harley, needing to be saved. Bo Notices has spent his life running from responsibility until he gets religion and a saint for a wife. But Sao and Bo's new stake in happiness doesn't come unchallenged. Or ask any of the StandsStraight women, the daughters of Jack and Oklahoma: Carolina, Georgia, Indiana, Tennessee Jane. Sainthood may be a matter of leading a traveling evangelical church. Or it may just be a matter of living through the sufferings of motherhood and sisterhood. Of lost children recovered, of others forever lost. Victims and healers, saints and sinners. They all come together in these pages through interlinked tales of intertwined lives, voices interwoven in time and space.

Jhargam (West Bengal), Aug 16 (ANI): Seeking to encourage and give hope to villagers possessing social security cards, authorities in Jhargam town in West Bengal's West Midnapore District distributed rice at subsidized rates of Rs 2 per kilo, along with land grants.
The authorities said that so far they have covered 65 families. "We are commencing this programme in all the BDOs (Block Development Offices). We have called 65 families here and are giving rice at two rupees per kilo," said C. Murugan, Sub-Divisional Officer, Jhargram area.
Growing Maoist violence is worrying investors, forcing authorities to fight back aggressively in the hope of luring up to seven billion dollars worth of funds needed to boost coal and iron ore output, which is vital for growth.
Maoist rebels say they are fighting for the rights of poor and disenfranchised, and find support among millions of tribal and lower caste people who accuse the state and big firms of neglect and exploitation in mineral rich regions. By Rick Sunder(ANI)


text: 6 Group Bomber Command: An Operational Record by Chris Ward English | 19 Nov. 2009 | ISBN: 1848841558 | 256 Pages | EPUB (True) | 4.95 MB 6 Group was born out of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP), which, among other things called for the formation of 25 Canadian Squadrons in Britain. This figure was later downsized. The Canadian vision was of a Canadian force operating independently alongside Bomber Command in the manner of the American 8th, but skillfull negotiating by the British resulted in Canadian Bomber squadrons operating within the RAF under RAF control but funded by Canada. On the 1st of January 1943 most of the existing RCAF squadrons were brought together on stations in North Yorkshire and County Durham to form 6 Group. By the end of the war 14 Squadrons were operational and one other had been posted to the Pathfinders. After an uncertain beginning the Group became an efficient and valuable contributor to Bomber Command's campaigns. Beginning predominantly with Wellingtons the Group was re-equipped with a mixture of Halifaxes and Lancasters, including the Hercules powered MkII and the Canadian built MKX.

The United States intends to bolster its west coast's missile defences to counter a growing nuclear threat from North Korea and Iran.
At a press conference in Washington, DC, Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel announced plans to add 14 missile interceptors to a site in Alaska, and establish a radar tracking system based in Japan.
The interceptors, which can shoot down enemy missiles in the air before they reach the US, will be added to 30 existing ground-based interceptors in Alaska and California, by 2017. Announcing the $1 billion (£660 million) plans, Mr Hagel described North Korea's recent anti-American pronouncements as "irresponsible and reckless provocations."
Last month, North Korea launched its third nuclear test. After the UN Security Council stepped up its sanctions, the Pyongyang government threatened a pre-emptive nuclear strike on South Korea and the US. One of the country's top generals has claimed that the country possesses nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles that are ready to be launched. Whether those missiles have the capacity to reach the continental US, more than 3,000 miles away, is another matter. President Barack Obama told ABC News earlier this week that he did not believe North Korea had the capability to carry out its threats.
The existing missile defence sites at Fort Greely, Alaska and Vandenberg Air Force Base, California were built in response to the threat of North Korean missile strikes during George W Bush's presidency. The US Navy has also beefed up its missile defence, deploying four guided missile destroyers close to the Korean peninsula. Speaking on Tuesday, US Defence Undersecretary James Miller said, "Our policy is to stay ahead of the threat, and to continue to ensure that we are ahead of any potential future Iranian or North Korean ICBM capability.''
Iran, meanwhile, is said to be at least a year from developing a functioning nuclear weapon. On Thursday evening, as he prepared for his first presidential visit to Israel, Mr Obama told Tel Aviv's Channel 2 News that the US would not stand by while Tehran acquired nuclear capabilities. "I have been crystal clear about my position on Iran possessing a nuclear weapon," he said. "That is a red line for us. It is not only something that would be dangerous for Israel, it would be dangerous for the world."

This almost pristine late 1950's Trifari parure surrounds a row of oval faux pearl cabochons with oval turquoise colored cabochons. Both the necklace and the bracelet consist of gold tone links, each having three of the faux pearls and six of the turquoise. The size of the cabochons set in the clip earrings are graduated giving them a leaf like shape. The necklace closes with a J hook and the bracelet has a fold over clasp. The only flaw is one pearl has a slight scuff mark but you really have to look for it to even notice it. The necklace measures 14 to 16 inches long and is 7/8 inches wide. The bracelet is 7 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. The earrings are 7/8 inch wide by 1 1/4 inches long.

This Site Comes With Music!
Do you want to hear the music?
After our 45th reunion event, most of us returned to our relatively separate lives and circles, enriched and sweetened by the rekindled memories old friends always induce.
Somehow, in a surprisingly responsible act of forethought, the committe that plans these reunions chose June 8-9, 2018 for the 50th reunion. Expected to come out of its self-induced hibernation sometime this year, the reunion planning committee will once again start to coalesce and grind into action.
We'll need some new members - we've likely lost some through attrition. Cognition, coherence, and stability have never really been qualifying factors for participation - some of us have always had doubts about some of us. But we'd love to have you involved - all you have to do is click the "Contact Us" link to the left and send a message.
In the meantime, Larry McCarthy has collected a ton of photos and begun to annotate them with names. We are posting them in a new album called "Annotated Photo Collections". Take a look and see if you can help us identify the many classmates who are currently not called out. Just click on the "Photos" link to the left - it's the top album.
Our biggest challenge is staying in touch - people move, change email addresses, drop the home phone and go solely cellular. So let's stay in touch.
And when you do visit this site, be sure to look over the following sections - most importantly to update your contact information and to help us find those lost Indians.
Register or Update - If you have never registered as a member of SMN class of 1968, please do so. And if you've had a change of address, email, or telephone please update your confidential profile here as well.
Photos – Photos from prior events - and a new album that we are trying to annotate with as many names as we can identify.
Trading Post – Advertisers; your friend in the business. Call in that favor from the 60s. Thanks to them, we are keeping this site alive for years to come.
In Remembrance – Wistful to read through, but don't you even think about showing up on this list. Take good care of yourself. Eat your vegetables.
Lost Indians – There are many we have not been able to locate. Scan this list and send us an email if you think you know where we may be able to get in touch with any of these classmates.
Contact Us – If you need to get in touch with anyone from the organizing committee you can contact us here. And if you want to help out don't hesitate - email us regarding our next meeting and just show up.
