Research Interests
Our lab studies the roles of energy sensing and metabolism in cancer and stem cells. Specifically, we are interested in the questions: 1) how normal/cancer/stem cells sense energy availability? 2) how cancer cell adapt to survive and grow under energy stress? and 3) How to translate our understanding of energy sensing/metabolism in cancer into novel effective cancer therapeutics? Our previous studies, among others, have shown that the FoxO/TSC/LKB1 tumor suppressor network plays critical roles in energy sensing, cancer metabolism and stem cell maintenance (Gan B, et al, PNAS, 2008; Gan B, et al, Cell Cycle, 2008; Gan B, et al, Nature, 2010; Gan B, et al, Cancer Cell, 2011). These studies have delineated an intimate link between tumor suppressor pathways that control energy sensing/metabolism and those that regulate stem cell homeostasis, and pointed to the critical importance of coupling energy availability and tissue homeostatic demands.
Our current research efforts aim to further study PI3K-AKT-FoxO and LKB1-AMPK pathways in energy sensing, cancer metabolism, and tumor suppression (Lin A, et al, Oncogene, 2014; Lin A, et al, Cancer Research, 2014; Wang W, et al, Nature Cell Biology, 2015). These studies also uncovered novel regulatory mechanisms of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in regulating these pathways in energy sensing/metabolism and cancer development/treatment (Liu X, et al, Nature Cell Biology, 2016; Liu X, et al, Cell Cycle, 2016; Xiao Z, et al, in revision). We study energy sensing and metabolism in the context of kidney cancer, as kidney cancer represents a major metabolic cancer type. During our studies, we have also studied the role of BAF180 and BAP1, two important tumor suppressors in kidney cancer, in metabolic stress response and cellular senescence (Lee H, et al, Oncotarget, 2016; Dai F, et al, PNAS, 2017).We are employing multi-disciplinary approaches, including sophisticated genetic mouse models, integrated transcriptomic/genomic/metabolomic/computational analyses and detailed biochemical mechanistic studies, to dissect these important questions. A deeper understanding of the biological processes linking energy sensing/metabolism to cancer and stem cells will provide novel insight for cancer therapy and regenerative medicine.

A LIVERPOOL FC fan was today jailed for 15 years for the attempted murder of a Bulgarian barman ? despite another man appearing to admit he was responsible for the assault.
Michael Shields, 18, was found guilty of throwing a brick at the head of barman Martin Georgiev during a fight in a takeaway shop in the town of Varna on May 30. He was convicted of attempted murder but cleared of aggravated hooliganism.
But Shields has always denied even being at the scene of the crime insisting he was asleep in his hotel room at the time of the attack and was a victim of mistaken identity.
The teenager had gone to Bulgaria after watching Liverpool win the Champions League cup final in Istanbul.
And back on Merseyside electrician Graham Sankey, 20, made a confession to a Merseyside-based solicitor where he appeared to admit he threw the brick.
The Bulgarian court rejected Sankey's confession, saying it was not considered as legally admissible evidence, and preceded with the trial.
Described by his family as "a gentle giant", Shields, student sobbed as he was led from the courtroom.
Shields' uncle, Joey Graney, was in court when the sentence was passed and described the trial as "a circus".
He said: "Michael was sobbing. He's an 18-year-old lad, quiet as a mouse, on his own, going back to a Bulgarian jail. What's he going to do?
"The trial was a circus from the start. I expected clowns and jugglers to come in at the end.
"As far as the Bulgarians were concerned, a local lad had been attacked and they wanted their scapegoat.
"They did not care that Graham Sankey has confessed to carrying out the attack. They just tossed that aside."
He added that Shields' parents, Michael and Maria Shields, were "distraught".
An appeal is planned but it requires Graham Sankey to make a confession that is acceptable to the Bulgarian court.
Liverpool Riverside MP Louise Ellman described the case as a "travesty of justice" and said she would be asking the Government to support Shields.
She said: "Graham Sankey has admitted he was guilty of the crime that Michael Shields is now convicted of, but he did so in a way that was inadmissible to the Bulgarian court.
"I will be talking to the defence team and, no doubt, an appeal will be launched.?
Another Liverpool fan, 19-year-old Anthony Wilson, was cleared of hooliganism and convicted of possession of cannabis.
He was sentenced to two and a half years imprisonment but the sentence was suspended, meaning he can return to the UK.

I recently got a Bushmaster M4A3 Patrolman, 100% everything I wanted and love it.
Sent using Tapatalk on Android
I have a Bushmaster, I think DMPS has a better reputation for quality, but I am more than Happy with my Bushmaster. Mine however is not a carbine, but the Varminter with a 24 inch Heavy Fluted Barrel.
That is so much fun! You should be happy with either.
DPMS Oracle, Bushnell TRS-25 red dot, $40 quad rail from Amazon, $35 Xenon flashlight for quad rail. That should be around your budget depending on the price you pay for the AR. As long as you aren't planning on burning 1000 round sessions, it should be OK.
Have you looked at stag arms. Ive heard they build parts for other manufacutures. I have the model 2 and like it very well.
I've been kicking around the idea of an AR myself. I'm leaning toward the S&W M&P 15 sport myself. Priced one at a gun store for $659.00.
You want the forward assist, dust cover is nice too.... I like the chrome lined barrel (mentioned with caution as it's a Ford/Chevy kind of thing).
Ive get a DPMS and I like it. Cant speak for Bushmaster
Unless you're in the jungle, or Iraq, you won't need the dust cover; the forward assist is unnecessary. Look at the M&P 15 Sport. It retails ant =/- $650, which will leave you money for mags, ammo, sling, optic, case, and grip.
What are you going to use this AR for. Serious shooting or a range toy?
For another $250 you can get a Colt, BCM (will have to work a little for that one but it can be done), maybe even a PSA, and not worry about any problems, and have a tier 1 rifle. There are known issues with Bushmaster and DPMS. Correctable, but why buy something you may have to fix or upgrade to hold up to serious work?
I have a DPMS and it has been very reliable. If I had it to do over again I would spend a couple hundred more and get a Spikes Tactical.
Is $750 your absolute max? You could get a BCM blem lower from G&R Tactical for $299 and a Rifle Gear complete upper (made by Daniel Defense) for $599. This is the way I went although I did an LMT lower as I was too impatient to wait a week for the BCM to be back in stock.
Here's my best advice.
Go to this web site and read it all.
So you want to buy an AR-15, huh?
It's written for cops, but there is so much good information, I learned more there than all the other technical sites combined, (which tend to be too technical for the first time buyer.)
He recommended one rifle, and I bought another, but I knew why I chose mine, and I couldn't be happier.

I need a Mentor! How do I find one?
Most lawyers will need two or three mentors – mentors who can help you with ethical issues, mentors who can help you learn to market, mentors who can help you systematize and build a business, mentors who can teach you the technical/legal intricacies of your chosen practice area.
Finding the right mentors for yourself is step one in building a fulfilling law practice.
You simply can't do it alone, not without a lot of pain and suffering. So don't do it! Seek out the people who have done what you are doing, and done it well. They've made the mistakes you want to avoid and have an eye for the opportunities you might not see right off the bat.
Some mentors may help you for free. But not all. We all have to make a living so don't be surprised that you will have to invest additional resources in your own training – yes, that's right. After indebting yourself with student loans, you are not done investing yet. Your law license has given you the opportunity to LEARN MORE!
Rather than get upset about it, get assertive. Big Law is not investing in training new associates anymore–so most of us have no option but to continue our education on our own dime.
Here's the trick: Find the mentors who can help you bring in revenue quickly and fruitfully–even if you have to pay them for their help. The new paradigm of the legal profession (and every industry, really) is that each of us will need additional training after law school and should plan to continue to invest in our education. The lawyers who embrace this will thrive in the coming years, the rest will live off their scraps.

This workshop is a follow-up of the First Workshop on
Annotation and Exploitation of Parallel Corpora.
The creation of parallel corpora has been very active
especially since 90s. The globalization, the extension of EU
with new countries as well as the availability of open-source
places for information, such as Wikipedia, DBPeadia, etc.
required a multilingual approach towards the interpersonal and
official communication. This status quo produced a lot of
parallel data – especially administrative and political
documents in several languages (EuroParl), but also news
(SETIMES) and texts on various topics (wikipedia, bi- and
multilingual web sites). However, the fast compilation of large
amounts of data very often compromised in lower quality of
paralleling texts. Here comes the challenge to discover the
inconsistencies in these huge quantities of parallel data, to
process them in adequate ways, and to exploit them for various
applications: QA, Information Retrieval, Machine Translation,
etc. The parallel corpora go beyond word-to-word alignments.
They rely on dependency, constituent or semantic pairings.
There appeared guidelines and tools for aligning
linguistic structures, which raised up the issue of
transferability of aligning schemes from one language to
another, and also for the compatibility among various
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Preslav Nakov (Invited Speaker), National University of Singapore, Singapore
Reusing Parallel Corpora between Related Languages
We ask for papers (6 to 10 pages conforming to the RANLP
guidelines). We welcome work in progress reports if they
contain at least preliminary results. Papers should be
submitted in PDF. Submissions should be made via the START
System -

There is no music player, but there is an FM radio. I can't recall ever seeing another phone offering that combination - it is more usual to have a music player but no radio. The radio picks up a signal well enough and the phone's volume is loud enough for plonking it on the desk when you want to listen.
The radio has 20 preset stations but you have to tune them manually as the phone can't scan and save automatically. It doesn't have RDS either - so you don't know what station you are listening to until you are told by a programme presenter. At least when you save a station you can name it, but it would have been nice if Nokia had taken the pain out of this process by enabling RDS support and auto tuning.
As well as the loudspeaker you can play music through the provided headset. This is a fairly average one-piece affair and is needed even when you are using the loudspeaker as the FM antenna is in the headset. It uses Nokia's Pop-Port connector.
You also need to use the Pop-Port if you want to connect to a computer. The 5070 can synchronise with a PC via the Nokia PC Suite software but you'll need to download the software and buy a cable as neither are included in the box. The mains power cable is one of those annoying tiny-headed Nokia chargers. Oh for mini USB!
Both Web browsing and email are supported, though this is a tri-band GSM handset without 3G so both are relatively slow processes. Web browsing is limited to XHTML and WML sites, and the small screen turns everything into a rather unrewarding visual experience. If you want these feature, look for another mobile phone.

Roland Marks is a Nobel Prize winning novelist with a penchant for younger women and four marriages behind him. Lou-Lou Marks, his grown daughter, is a successful academic in her own right. But her real career lies in attending to her father. An egomaniacal and emotionally manipulative man, he demands of her absolute filial loyalty and an uncompromising acquiescence to his every need--her only reward is his approval, which she feels she never fully receives, but desperately desires. When Roland falls in love with a woman fifty years his junior, Lou-Lou senses the precarious decline of her power. Intent on preventing Roland from marrying for a fifth time and signing away his estate--and her inheritance--the relationship takes a darkly comical turn.… (more)

Actually coconut oil can also be fractionated so liquid all year round, this is less common but you do see it. It has a slightly different fatty acid composition which is less beneficial in this context because some of the lauric acid has been removed. So you want the regular coconut oil be that refined or virgin which is solid at room temperature most of the year.
Today I went to my local walgreens, and they didn't have any As I Am products so I bought RenPure Clensing Conditioner. It does have an A Cone in it but I've heard that it doesn't build up. I also got Shea Moisture Restorative Conditioner and I'm using that as a leave in for now. I haven't been able to find any coconut oil yet but I'm going to walmart tomorrow to look for it there.
Coconut oil has a melting point of 76 degrees, so keep that in mind when looking for quality. It might not be the quality of the oil but the temperature of the room.

Florida Game Is Always Special to Bulldogs
Oct. 29, 2013
ATHENS, Ga.---Georgia's annual game against Florida in Jacksonville has become one of the Southeastern Conference's seminal moments every year. Despite both teams coming into this year's game unranked and needing help to reach the SEC Championship game in Atlanta, the atmosphere heading into the game hasn't fluctuated from previous years in the Georgia camp.
Both the Bulldogs and the Gators head into Saturday missing several key players due to injury and sporting matching 4-3 records. The winner will almost certainly be eliminated from the race for Atlanta.
"I think you just have to plan the best that you can and practice the best that you can. You just have to get after it the best that you can. You have to try to win the turnover battle, that's number one, and we kind of go from there," Georgia head coach Mark Richt said. "Everybody has their way of doing things. If I was an expert at it, everybody would be asking me what to do, but we'd have a better record against Florida, too."
The Bulldogs have won the last two contests in Jacksonville, defeating the third-ranked Gators 17-9 in 2012 and unranked Florida 24-20 in 2011.
Despite Georgia's current two-game winning streak, senior quarterback Aaron Murray said it is important for the Bulldogs to ignore previous year's results.
"We just have to go out there and play ball and have fun," Murray said. "You can't be worried about whether you've lost this many in a row, or won this many in a row, because every year is different. It's a new team, new players, and new circumstances when it comes to injuries or how the season is going for each team, so we just have to go out there, play ball, and have fun."
Murray could become the first quarterback since Buck Belue between 1979-81 to win three straight games against the Bulldog's big rivals.
Richt said that one of the big reasons for the intensity of the rivalry between the Bulldogs and the Gators is the amount of players that cross the state line both ways. Georgia currently has 16 players from the state of Florida on the roster including Murray (Tampa), starting kicker Marshall Morgan (Ft. Lauderdale), and starting right tackle John Theus (Jacksonville).
"Somebody said that we had about 16 Florida guys on our team, and they have 19 Georgia guys on their team. That's going to happen," Richt said. "They've got too many players in their state, as far as they have more than they can gather up, and we're the same way in our state. Obviously guys are going to cross those boundaries and there are a lot of different factors that go into it. A lot of it has to do with playing time or what they grew up thinking. There are so many things, and there's a lot of those battles every year."
While the Bulldogs try to look at Florida as nothing more than another SEC game in the grind that is the conference schedule, linebacker Armarlo Herrera said it doe's have a different feel to it.
"We go out there and play hard and we've been able to win. I wasn't here when they were beating us so I couldn't say if it was a mental thing," Herrera said. "We just look at them as another SEC team, but it is a rivalry game so it is a big one."
Safety Connor Norman said that the Georgia-Florida experience begins long before the Saturday of the game.
"It is a special week. This is always a fun game and it's fun to play a great team like Florida in the atmosphere down there," Norman said. "It's just another football game though. We have to continue to get better and win games. You can't get caught up in the whole atmosphere of it though; because once the ball gets kicked off it's just another football game. It's very impressive down there. I think it's just a cool thing for the players of Georgia, Florida, and the fans to get to experience something like that. It's split down the middle and it's such an electric atmosphere. It's about as close to the SEC Championship as you can get with the atmosphere like that."

We've seen a bunch of videos that have parodied the Mario Kart video game with films of people driving around go-carts in real life, but this one takes it to the next level.
The guys from WaterlooLabs figured out how to modify their go-carts to trigger the vehicle's throttle, brake and gas system depending on what other opponents threw at them. Like in the video game, when you throw a banana peel and another car runs over it, the car would stop or slow down.
The team did this by creating real-life physical objects that contained RFID tags, so when the cart ran by such an object, the RFID would trigger the cart to slow down, speed up, etc. Watch this awesome video to learn more:
If this system can be perfected, I'd love to see this enabled at my local go-cart track, although most of the ones I go to get upset if you even bump another cart.

Craigslist For Instagram Turns Social Photos Into A Viable Marketplace
Treasure trove of new items for sale on your social networks.
Every year, over 2 million pictures are posted to Instagram with the hashtag #forsale, which is exactly why Hashbag has created a service that makes it easy to search for and buy items from the social network. With different categories such as Art, Fashion, Furniture and Homemade, there are plenty of options for everyone.
Buyers can search for an item through the company's website, and if the seller isn't already a member, they will send you straight through to the person's Instagram profile, making it easy for you to reach out and make an offer. If they are already a member of Hashbag, then you pay for the item using PayPal, making the whole experience an enjoyable and effortless process.
On the other hand, sellers just have to Instagram a photo with the hashtag #forsale, after which Hashbag will email to ask you what the price of the item is. Once you hand over that piece of information, the item will go live in a personal storefront on the company's website, which you can then advertise through your Instagram profile. PayPal once again makes it easy to take payment and ship the item to your buyer.
So instead of scouring through various items on Instagram and spending hours trying to find a bargain, it would probably be easier to try Hashbag first.

Hey y'all! I'm a southern girl who is BRAND new to Baltimore. Seriously. I don't know where anything is and I don't have any favorite places yet! I am really easy going and like to just go with the flow, so you'll need to pick where we go out! I make decisions all day at work, so I turn that off when I leave. I like to just relax with good friends and watch some football, have a glass of wine and swap stories. I am pretty sarcastic... but for as much as I dish it out, I can take it too. I am looking for someone who's a best friend, who is comfortable just hanging out at the house watching a movie or out doing something exciting. I'm also easily entertained. Seriously. So if you're even borderline comical, odds are, I'll love it. I am drama-free, love to laugh and at the end of the day, this girl just wants to have fun!

Davey Johnson arrived early at PNC Park today, unable to shake his queasiness over the Nationals' 14-strikeout performance last night. He walked into the batting cage next door the Nationals' clubhouse and found hitting coach Rick Eckstein working with another coach. Johnson asked for a bat.
With no one watching aside from the coach tossing him pitches, Johnson hit. He swung until a blister formed on his left hand, about 40 hacks. He had not taken so much batting practice, he figured, in about 25 years.
"I wanted to see if it was that hard to still hit a baseball," Johnson said.
A few hours later, Johnson did something else he rarely does in order to calm himself. He called a team meeting, gathering Nationals players before batting practice and addressing them for 15 minutes. Johnson did not berate or upbraid the Nationals. One player said, "It was nothing big."
"It was probably more for me, so I feel like I'm doing something," Johnson said.
Johnson prefers one-on-one conversation to team-wide talks; last season, he only called two, and in one he only said he just wanted to shoo reporters from the clubhouse. Johnson had no one clear message today. With the Nationals hovering at 15-15 following widespread preseason World Series predictions, he let players know he blamed himself for them not fulfilling their potential.
"Don't try to do too much," Johnson said. "If we're going to strike out, let's go down swinging. Or something like that. Not a whole lot. But, you know, across the board, we're not playing up to our potential. I take that more personally, because my job is to put them in positions where they're going to succeed. If they're not succeeding, am I doing something wrong? Are the coaches doing something wrong? Are you listening to what all these writers are writing? What are you doing? Just trying to clear the air, make it simpler. Let's keep having fun. Let's do the things we're capable of doing."
Before and after the meeting, Johnson ambled around the room and shared individual discussions with certain players. He chatted about base-running mistakes. ("I told them I understand why we made a few base-running errors," Johnson said. "We ain't on base that much.") He told several relievers, including Drew Storen, that roles in the bullpen had not shaken out exactly as he hoped, and he asked them how much it affected them when they warmed up but never made it into the game.
"Mostly, it was to let them know where I'm coming from, and for them to be aware that I understand what they're dealing with," Johnson said. "It wasn't that I was chastising everybody, because I know the makeup and I know the effort we're getting. If anything, we might be putting more pressure on ourselves than we should."
Last year, the Nationals sent Stephen Strasburg to the mound as they played the Pirates in Pittsburgh for their 31st game. The Nationals had lost four of 12 before that day, and Johnson called one of his two meetings all year. The circumstances today – Pittsburgh, Strasburg, Game 31 – are identical.
"I had no idea," Johnson said. "That never entered my mind. Maybe after 30 games, it's somewhere deep down in my subconscious – I got to have a meeting."
After last year's meeting in Pittsburgh, Strasburg struck out 13 in a 4-2 victory, and the Nationals went 20-11 in their next 31 games. What happens today and in the weeks to come remains to be seen. In the immediate aftermath, as he nursed a blister and sore legs, Johnson was happy he wouldn't soon call another meeting.
"I just wanted them to be aware that, even though I'm kind of quiet, kind of patient, that I was looking in the mirror and trying to make sure I wasn't leaving any stone unturned as far as the pulse of this ball club," Johnson said. "I don't know how the meeting went. I'm glad it's over with. I like watching this club play baseball. I like the effort. I like the talent. I like them individually.
"More key guys are struggling a little bit. But we know we're not going to keep struggling."

Welcome to Health Reform Watch, Sarah Kliff's regular look at how the Affordable Care Act is changing the American health-care system — and being changed by it. You can reach Sarah with questions, comments and suggestions here. Check back every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon for the latest edition, and read previous columns here.
Days until marketplaces launch: 13.
The Affordable Care Act started with a sweeping plan to overhaul our country's long-term-care system, what one observer described as "the most important innovation in helping Americans with disability and long-term care needs since the creation of Medicaid."
It ended, three years later, with a 114-page, bullet-point-laden report that only nine of its 15 authors would agree to endorse.
This is the story of the CLASS Act, or, the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports Act, and how the largest part of the health law to be repealed came to an end.
Enacted as part of the Affordable Care Act, it was meant to create a long-term insurance plan that would be run by the government, with optional enrollment, to cover living assistance costs that Medicare and Medicaid don't include. These would be things like home-care aides, accessible transportation and home modifications.
The CLASS Act, to the delight of congressional Republicans and pun enthusiasts, was dismissed in October 2011, after actuaries at Health and Human Services couldn't figure out a way to make the program financially viable. Their worry was that with the program being optional, only those who were sick and anticipating needing long-term care would enroll. It would enter a death spiral, with premiums becoming prohibitively expensive.
But that wasn't the end of the long-term-care saga: After Congress officially repealed the CLASS Act in January, it created in its place the Commission on Long Term Care, a 15-person group tasked with writing a "plan for the establishment, implementation, and financing of a comprehensive, coordinated, and high-quality system that ensures the availability of long-term services."
The timeline was short, just about 100 days to come up with a solution to problems that have vexed Congress for decades. The commission began meeting on June 27 and, by Sept. 12 had to publish its proposal. It held nine executive sessions and four public hearings.
"The commission had a very short time frame," says Judy Feder, a Democratic-appointed commissioner and a professor at Georgetown University. "It's a big deal issue, and we just didn't address the issue that was our charge."
"Statutorily, we didn't have enough time," says Grace-Marie Turner, a Republican appointee who serves as president of the Galen Institute. "Not all progress is a breakthrough, but we were able to do research, which I think counts as progress. If you can't get everything done, you don't just give up."
Bruce Chernof, who chaired the commission, says he's proud of what they were able accomplish in the time they had.
"Every commissioner worked hard to make this the best report possible," Chernof, who is also president of the SCAN Foundation, said. "Because this has been such a difficult problem for such a long period of time, many folks have very specific views on the best way to solve it. That you could get nine people to agree on a possible approach, in an incredibly short period of time, I think that's a success."
Feder was among the six commissioners who voted against endorsing the report that the group ended up writing. She felt the report fell short because it did not include a plan for financing a long-term-care system, often the most vexing part of moving forward with any policy issue on Capitol Hill.
"The Commission considered very different approaches regarding the mechanisms needed to make this vision possible," its report concludes. "The Commission did not agree on a financing approach, and, therefore, makes no recommendation."
Chris Jacobs, a Republican appointee from the Heritage Foundation, joined Feder in voting against the report. According to a letter he sent to Chernof, he disagreed with some of the commission's policy recommendations and the "unintended consequences" for the budget that he felt had not been fully examined.
"Some could result in budgetary costs for state and/or federal governments, he wrote. "Just as important, others could also impose higher costs and burdens on the providers who are the critical element necessary to deliver high-quality, patient-centered LTSS. Collectively, these concerns — on both substance and process — prevented me from supporting the commission's final report."
As to what happens to the report next, Chernof hopes it will "galvanize people to move forward" on long-term-care reform. When I asked Chernof what he saw as his main obstacle -- and why Congress tends to shy away from the issue -- he replied that it has a lot do with how we collectively view responsibilities for caring for the elderly.
"People see this as something you solve within your family," he says. "They don't normally think of this as an area that needs a public policy solve. The average American family thinks, 'I'll be the one taking care of mom and dad, or grandpa and grandma.' The challenge is to rethink that conversation."
As to whether Congress would act on the issue, Feder, a longtime advocate on the issue, put it this way: "I also worked many years on expanding health insurance. We got that. We'll get this, too. It just takes a little longer to get."
KLIFF NOTES: Top health policy reads from around the Web.
Ex-Obamacare aides are now reaping a windfall. "Washington's health care revolving door is spinning fast as the new online health insurance marketplaces, a central provision of President Obama's health care law, are set to open Oct. 1. Those who had a hand in the law's passage are now finding lucrative work in the private sector, as businesses try to understand the complex measure, reshape it by pressing for regulatory changes — or profit from it. That means boom times for what might be called an Obamacare cottage industry, providing work for dozens of former administration and mostly Democratic Congressional officials whose immersion in health policy minutiae, and friendships, make them invaluable to private business." Sheryl Gay Stolberg in the New York Times.
Republicans are weighing how aggressively to attack Obamacare. "House Republican leaders will present options for dismantling President Obama's healthcare reform law to their members in a closed-door meeting Wednesday morning as they seek a more aggressive posture in a pair of looming fiscal fights. A senior GOP aide said it was 'likely' the House would send to the Senate a continuing resolution that defunded the healthcare law but that leaders had decided not to combine it with legislation raising the debt ceiling." Russell Berman in the Hill.
Walgreen's is moving workers to a private health exchange. "Walgreen Co. is set to become one of the largest employers yet to make sweeping changes to company-backed health programs. On Wednesday, the drugstore giant is expected to disclose a plan to provide payments to eligible employees for the subsidized purchase of insurance starting in 2014. The plan will affect roughly 160,000 employees, and will require them to shop for coverage on a private health-insurance marketplace. Aside from rising health-care costs, the company cited compliance-related expenses associated with the new law as a reason for the switch." Timothy W. Martin and Christopher Weaver in the Wall Street Journal.
Doctors, not Obamacare, will ask you about your sex life. "Evidently Ms. McCaughey knows some pretty crappy doctors, because if you consider it 'inappropriate and unnecessary' to talk to your patients about their sex lives, then you really shouldn't be in the business. I agree that it's not necessary to ask these questions at every visit for every complaint. But seriously, a cardiologist is saying he can't imagine a single occasion when he might ask a patient about his sex life? Really? I'm speechless." Aaron Carroll in the Incidental Economist.


text: By KELLEY MOHRStaff WriterMILLERSBURG -- In an effort to ensure success and survival in a competitive health care environment, Pomerene Hospital used 2011 to expand the hospital's values into something more than a slogan by creating a culture of ownership.The I Am Pomerene values, geared toward customer service and internal relations, are to be memorable, be accountable, be grateful, be mindful and to be owners. The hospital has been working to revamp the values to reflect a culture of ownership in which every employee plays a central role in the success of Pomerene."The focus of I Am Pomerene is all about a culture of ownership. We all need to be owners and ambassadors of the hospital," said Pomerene public relations and marketing coordinator Rebecca Ragon.The board devised the five values after extensive research on other hospitals that have high employee engagement ratings to see how they communicated their values and vision to employees amid a changing industry.At the end of 2011, the board approved the new set of values to go along with the mission and vision for the hospital, said Ragon, creating an environment in which the entire staff, all 325 members, feel as though they are integral members of Pomerene."These are rules to live by. It stands for what we want to stand for as a hospital: As an individual, you will be memorable, you will be accountable, you will be grateful, you will be mindful and you will be an owner," said Ragon. "Every single person in the facility is equally important and should represent the hospital in a positive way.Those who follow the hospital's virtues are nominated and recognized on the I Am Pomerene Recognition Board. For example, Amish advocate Laura Schlabach was recognized for functioning as the face of Pomerene to Holmes County's Amish population.One way the hospital has succeeded in serving the community has been in the Amish Services Program, which continued to grow in 2011. The program was designed to meet the special needs of Amish members of the community with more than 90 self-pay package prices available. The packages include the fees associated with the hospital, surgeon and anesthesiologist.In the past year, there was a 12 percent increase of cash-paying customers from 2010 to 2011, many of them Amish, as well in a rise in the use of obstetrics and surgery/colonoscopy packages. Most noticeably, more Amish are using the hospital's midwifery services, a birthing center package that includes a two-day stay at the hospital, as well as midwifery prenatal service and hospital delivery.To match that growth, the hospital began offering round-the-clock midwifery care with the addition of Certified Nurse Midwife Debra Lehr."We now offer 24/7 (midwifery) coverage. For every woman who comes in, if she wants a midwife, that's what will happen," said Ragon.The number of Amish who traveled to the hospital from outside the area also increased dramatically in 2011, she added, noting the hospital advertised the Amish Services Program nationally. "They heard we offer these services at a discounted price. It's less expensive for them to travel here than to use their local hospital."For the convenience of Amish patients and their families, Pomerene offers the Amish House at which visitors can stay during procedures. The hospital offers a transportation service to and from Pomerene Hospital, Millersburg Medical Center, East Holmes Family Practice, Holmes Family Medicine, Nashville Medical Clinic, Pomerene Medical Center in Mount Hope and Pomerene Medical Center in Sugarcreek for those who can't travel easily."We've had people come from Wisconsin, Texas, Pennsylvania, New York, from 10 different states and several outlying areas in Ohio," she added. "It goes to show that our prices for our packages are very competitive when you have people coming from outside of the community coming to our hospital."The hospital hopes to continue to grow that program in 2012, especially in regards to its MRI packages."There are still quite a few out there who don't really know that we offer package pricing at 20 percent discount from what you would pay otherwise," Ragon said.The hospital also took pains to remain within budget without cutting the quality of services to the public. The hospital cut back on spending on inventory by creating a Purchasing Advisory Committee with members from the clinical and business sides of running the hospital. Physicians, clinical staff, administration and employees were able to save money by utilizing internal communication and the better use of goods.Pomerene also joined a purchasing collaborative from Independent Hospital Network, a local group of five hospitals in Carroll, Holmes, Stark, Tuscarawas and Wayne counties. This move gave the hospital the ability to be able to negotiate and improve contract prices."Because we're in the network of five hospitals, we work with them to use similar vendors for certain supplies and products. We end up getting discounts and better prices on the supplies we use. We still get quality supplies for a less expensive price because we are partnered with other hospitals and all purchasing from same place," said Ragon.With these moves, combined with each department controlling costs with supplies and staffing, the hospital was able to operate well within budget."By the end of the year, we were able to break even because we didn't over spend and we found several cost saving areas this year we were able to utilize, which is a large improvement from last year," said Ragon, noting the hospital did so even with $2,349,323 worth of charity care cases, $2,370,348 instances of bad debt and a $152,545 Hospital Franchise Fee. "Based on all of that, to come out where we were, we were extremely happy with that."We knew what was coming and we were able to better prepare for that," said Ragon. "The emphasis this year with employees and managers was watching their spending and staying within or under their budget. Everyone did a great job this year."Also this year, the hospital implemented a Nursing Certification Program to help and encourage nurses to become certified in a specialty area, a six-month process that demands intensive studying and rigorous testing.The Pomerene Foundation funds the certifications. The credentialing program encourages professional satisfaction and personal growth because it validates the nurses' competence and allows for career advancement opportunities."We try to get the word out in the community so the community knows that we have certified nurses on staff and they are taking extra educational courses to become specialist in their areas," Ragon said.So far, roughly 40 percent of the hospital's qualified nursing staff have attained specialty certification."At the end of the year, we had 20 certified nurses. We're going to be continuing in 2012 with that program," said Ragon.Overall, 2011 was a year to show the community Pomerene Hospital is the best place to turn to for quality care, explained Ragon."The message is I am Pomerene and I believe in Pomerene: We're here, we're your local hospital, we can serve your health care needs and you can stay local," she said. "You don't have to drive a half hour away to get a service, you can stay right here."Reporter Kelley Mohr can be reached at 330-674-5676 or email@example.com.

The amount of data that the world continues to amass will surely tip the scales of comparable computing power, yes? After all, Emerson Network Power, in its 2011 State of the Data Center infographic, says that by year's end, humans will have created 1.2 trillion gigabytes (GB) of data, equivalent to 75 billion 16 GB iPods. And according to Emerson Network Power, a provider data center infrastructure management solutions, that's more than enough for every person on earth to own 10 iPods.
Where will it all go? Is there enough infrastructure in place to handle all that? Are today's data centers – the pillars of the Internet on which much of this data traverses – up to snuff? They better be, Emerson Network points out. After all, if all 509,147 data centers (with square footage equal to 5,955 football fields) went out 2.5 times (based on an average) for a duration of 134 minutes, that would equal 2,842,737 hours of downtime, at a total loss of $426 billion a year.
What could one do with those billions of dollars? Not pay off the U.S. government's debt of course, but it's enough at least to buy every person in Munich, Germany, a yacht, the company says.
Here are more fun facts illustrating just how busy and loaded the Internet is. Every second, 1,157 people start watching Youtube, which turns into the viewing of 100 million videos each day. One of my favorite fun facts: every hour enough information is consumed by Internet traffic to fill 7 million DVDs. Oh, and stack them side by side and they'd scale Mt. Everest 95 times. Ninety-five!
It's a good thing then, Emerson Network Power points out in its infographic, that servers purchased in 2011 have on average 45 times more compute capacity than similarly configured servers installed in 2001. On that curve, who knows what we'll see in a decade!

Hopes for a deal to reunify Cyprus this year were dashed in the early hours of Tuesday, when negotiations prepared for months failed over entrenched disagreements.
Talks between the leaders of divided Cyprus and United Nations officials in Switzerland couldn't overcome conflicting governance and property claims, which have scuttled previous attempts to overcome the 42-year-long division of the island between its Greek and Turkish communities.
The prospect of resolving the conflict has once again receded, say people involved in the talks. Officials from both sides said it is unclear when there might be another attempt.
"This is not a good night for our country,"Cyprus's government spokesman Nicos Christodoulides said after talks broke up. "We are not at all happy with the outcome."
The island--a member of the European Union that lies in the eastern Mediterranean, close to Turkey and Syria--has been split between the Greek south and the Turkish north since 1974. Numerous rounds of talks over the years have ended in failure.
Cyprus's President Nicos Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci, both strong supporters of the island's reunification, have sought to generate international momentum for a deal over the last 18 months. Both have raised hopes that 2016 could be the best chance to finally solve the dispute and turn the island into an anchor of stability in a troubled region.
But the two leaders failed to bridge their differences on how much territory would go to separate administrative units for Greek and Turkish Cypriots under a new federation, as well as how to compensate people from both communities who lost their land and property when the island was divided.
"Despite their best efforts, they have not been able to achieve the necessary further convergences on criteria for territorial adjustment that would have paved the way for the last phase of talks," the U.N. said. "The two sides have decided to return to Cyprus and reflect on the way forward."
A deal on territorial issues would have paved the way for a final summit of Greece, Turkey and Britain--the country's guarantor power since 1974--to seek an agreement on security arrangements on the island.
Turkey wants to keep its troops on the island, where they have protected the Turkish minority since the split. Greece and Greek Cypriots want the Turkish army to leave.
Cypriot leaders had hoped that a deal could deliver large economic benefits, in part by allowing new natural-gas pipelines connecting Europe and the Middle East viathe island.
Cyprus also has gas reserves in its waters, the harnessing of which a peace deal could allow. Turkey has repeatedly threatened to mobilize its naval forces should Cyprus proceed unilaterally with plans to begin drilling.

Jojo Dan: It's personal
Jo Jo Dan had just finished a heated sparring session this week when he was confronted with WBC Silver welterweight champion Selcuk Aydin's words released earlier this week that, "Fighting him again would give me the chance to prove that I can knock him out to end all discussions." Dan who is in preparation for an October 15th match-up on the undercard of the Lucian Bute- Jesse Brinkley fight was quick to respond. "Anytime anyplace. I don't care what title is at stake. It's personal with Aydin. We have unfinished business together. Let's do it now! I would even go back to Turkey. This time I won't leave it to the judges."


text: ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ) is, after pioneering pizza delivery 53 years ago and establishing itself as the recognized world leader in pizza delivery, saying something it never thought it would to the pizza makers in its nearly 5,000 U.S. stores: slow down. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120814/DE55948LOGO-b ) After the debut of its Handmade Pan Pizza last fall, Domino's is now revealing to customers its belief that slower is better when it comes to preparing the latest permanent menu item. A national campaign, beginning today, reveals the Handmade Pan Pizza – made from fresh, never-frozen dough – takes a bit longer to make and bake, but Domino's is willing to now make exceptions, after decades of touting speedy pizza-making and prompt delivery. The new TV spot features clips from vintage Domino's Pizza commercials from the 1980s. "The word is spreading, but there are still many people out there who have yet to try our Handmade Pan Pizza," said Russell Weiner, Domino's Pizza chief marketing officer. "Our hope is that, by continuing to tell the story of what makes this awesome product so unique to our menu, that people will continue to discover that Domino's is now in the pan pizza game." The campaign stars Robert Gavitt, a Domino's Pizza franchise owner from Dallas, Texas, who helps explain why the Handmade Pan Pizzas need just a bit more time to reach the golden-brown perfection customers deserve. "Being a Domino's franchise owner since 1989, I can attest that slowing down has never been a part of the Domino's culture – especially considering we are the company that has proudly held a World's Fastest Pizza Maker competition since 1983," said Gavitt. "However, for those who enjoy our Handmade Pan Pizza, it's the right thing to do – and if it means a better experience for our fans and customers, we are all for it."

CANADA STOCKS-TSX ends flat as energy, railways gain; banks slip
TORONTO Dec 2 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index closed marginally lower on Tuesday, with gains in energy and railway stocks offset by weakness from some major banks, gold miners and telecom companies.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index unofficially ended down 5.25 points, or 0.04 percent, at 14,620.07. Six of the 10 main sectors were positive. (Reporting by Alastair Sharp; Editing by Jonathan Oatis)

Rep. Bill Pascrell won a divisive Democratic primary for a New Jersey House seat in a race that highlighted the importance of old loyalties in the 2008 presidential campaign.
Former president Bill Clinton endorsed Pascrell, a Hillary Clinton supporter, and campaigned for him in the closing days of the race against fellow Democratic Rep. Steven Rothman, who endorsed Barack Obama four years ago.
Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod endorsed Rothman and campaigned for him in the district. As the head of the Democratic Party, the president did not formally endorse in a race that pitted sitting incumbents against each other, but Obama met privately with Rothman at the White House days before the primary.
BLOG: It's Obama vs. Clinton in N.J. House race
The endorsements were a form of political payback for the lawmakers' respective support in the presidential primary which tested loyalties across the Democratic Party. However, Clinton praised Pascrell as the "the fighter we need to support President Obama" in his endorsement.
The two incumbents faced each other in a primary fight Tuesday because of the 2012 redistricting process that redraws congressional district lines. The race tested the lawmakers' friendship. Both were elected in 1996. Pascrell publicly expressed frustration that Rothman chose to challenge a Democrat in a safe seat rather than mount a general election battle to flip a GOP-held seat in November.
There are seven Democratic member-on-member primaries, four GOP member-on-member primaries, and two general election match-ups between sitting incumbents all tied to the 2012 redistricting process. The races guarantee that at least 13 House incumbents will not be returning to Congress next year.

They are pretty dangerous for ourselves.
I am using an organic oilspray which dries out eggs and larvae, in case there are any.
It's just a preventive measure.
It's a simple oil spray with Geraniol, a vegetal substance that doesn't harm animals and human beings, -and smells good.

I was warmly welcomed by the staff of the hostel. I could even taste a delicious cake even before the sun comes up, when I was about to go to the airport to return home. The location of the hostel is also formidable, in a neighborhood super cool and very close to the subway. I just found the mattress a little soft, but nothing that affected my sleep. I definitely recommend it!
