A study of the integration of health promotion principles and practice in palliative care organisations
Rosenberg, John Patrick (2007) A study of the integration of health promotion principles and practice in palliative care organisations. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.
The modern hospice movement emerged in the 1960s as a grassroots social movement that attempted to restore an holistic and contextualised approach to the care of people at the end of life. This approach embraced the lived experience of the dying person at the centre of care across physical, emotional, social and spiritual domains of life. To achieve this, the care of dying people was largely removed from mainstream health care systems to promote more holistic and socially contextualised dying. In recent decades, the evolution of palliative care demonstrates the gradual return of palliative care services to the mainstream. It has been asserted that, in this process, palliative care services have progressively abandoned the social context of dying people, increasing instead an emphasis on "physical care [while] simultaneously de-emphasizing psychological, social and spiritual care" (Kellehear, 1999a, p.76). Kellehear and others have proposed that the repositioning of palliative care within mainstream health care systems has increased a focus upon illness and disease at the expense of health and wellbeing. Subsequently, conventional palliative care services have been criticised for not adequately locating end of life care within the social contexts in which death and dying take place.
In an attempt to address this problem, Australian sociologist Allan Kellehear proposed an approach to end of life care that brought together the core concerns of palliative care with the principles and practices of health promotion (Kellehear, 1999b). Whilst their congruence is not immediately apparent, these two fields have been increasingly examined for their potential benefits in the provision of end of life care. In the current policy climate in Australia, there is an imperative to consider how end of life support services might be improved through adopting a health promoting palliative care approach.
The aim of this study has been to investigate the integration of health promotion principles and practice by a selected palliative care service by examining the qualitative impact of this change on the organisation. Specifically, it endeavoured to identify the factors that advanced or impeded this integration by examining how the structures and processes of, and outcomes for, the organisation reflected a health promoting approach. To meet these aims, this study undertook an in-depth examination of the implementation of a health promoting palliative care model by a community based palliative care organisation. Based in a constructionist-interpretivist paradigm, a mixed-method (QUAL+quant), instrumental case study research design was utilised to capture multiple perspectives of the implementation process. Data collection comprised examination of 127 organisational documents, 32 in-depth interviews with staff, volunteers and consumers, 5 focus groups with staff and volunteers, and 25 carer questionnaires. Qualitative data were subject to thematic analysis, with supplementary quantitative data analysed to generate descriptive statistics.
The findings demonstrated a large number of complex and interrelated enabling and impeding factors to the implementation in the case study site. These factors have been grouped into four key themes which have been examined in light of the aims of this study and the issues identified in a comprehensive review of the literature. This study found that:
◦ Conceptual congruence between health promotion and palliative care was a fundamental starting point in the implementation of a health promoting palliative care model.
◦ Where conceptual congruence was clear, activities associated with the model that were regarded as beyond conventional approaches to palliative care core business were viewed favourably by stakeholders and were less likely to encounter resistance within the organisation.
◦ When systematic approaches to organisational change, such as quality improvement systems, were rigorously applied, the impact of the transition upon stakeholders was qualitatively less.
◦ Where this transition had been effectively made, consumers, staff, volunteers and members of the wider community were seen to benefit.
This study adds to the current discourse regarding the intersection between end of life support and health promotion, and provides insight into how palliative care organisations might undertake the transition from conventional models to a health promoting palliative care approach.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I' was arrested for shoplifting <50 for a class C misdemnor in TX.I am on a work authorization viza in USA.
I have entered into a pritrial diverion program involving anti theft classes and comunity services.There is no statement in the agreement that states I accept th guilt.
I wish to know:
#1.is it seen as a conviction?Am I deportable or via denied on this basis when I travel to my home country?
#2.If the final disposition order says dismissed without mentioning diversion or dismissed with
diversion better for immigration purpose???
Pre trial diversion is considered an admission by the USCIS but is not necesarily a deportable offense by the court - depending on your current status. You need to consult with an experienced immigration attorney who can get the relevant facts from you and explain your standing before the USCIS and the immigration court.Ask a similar question
The best situation for immigration purposes is "nolle prosequi" or charges being dropped. For the other portions of your questions, I agree with my colleague.Ask a similar question
In any case, shoplifting, by itself, is not a deportable offense.
Please see
(213) 394-4554 x0 Mr. Shusterman is a former INS Trial Attorney (1976-82) with over 35 years of immigration experience. His response to your question is general in nature, as not all the facts are known to him. You should retain an attorney experienced in immigration law to review all the facts in your case in order to receive advice specific to your case. Mr. Shusterman's statement above does not create an attorney/client relationship.Ask a similar question
I think your questions are very direct and require very concise answers. For question number one, retain an immigration lawyer to research the statute of conviction and the pre-trial diversion statute to determine if it has been previously found to be a conviction. The answer to that question drives the answer to whether or not there is a deportation, exclusion or other immigration consequence. Not all shoplifting cases are the same. An issue that does arise is the value the stolen property and its effect on your sentence. Pay an experienced lawyer to lay it out for you. Its better you know now than later so you can take corrective action.Ask a similar question
Well,to provide you'r question the value is 30$ and charge is class C misdemnor,which is punishable by fine only in TX

TV chairman Michael Grade has stepped into the Freeview HD debate. The UK's best-known broadcast power-player has warned against creating an HD divide. Speaking at a conference organized by the Voice of the Listener and Viewer, he said an "HD divide, with high definition open only to those willing and able to pay" would be an "own goal" for the industry, adding: "Closing the door to HD on Freeview would undermine that principle at precisely the point we finally achieve universality for digital television. There's a real risk that the UK, historically the envy of the world in this area, will start to slip behind the rest of the international pack in terms of the technical quality of its broadcasting."

Thanks for the query. This presentation can be seen with many diseases. This is limited information to make precise recommendations. The best option is to consult a Orthopaedician ( they treat beyond joints also) to understand the condition. A thorough evaluation if necessary should be done. Hope it helps you. I suggest to make a physical consultation with a local orthopaedician for making a sense of this problem. Online consultation will not help.

Ulti's Analysis Edit
|Match #
|Match Date
|Thursday, September 6th, 2007
|Midna - 34.55%
Scorpion - 30.67%
Kratos Aurion - 22.43%
Agent 47 - 12.35%
|Scorpion first place (2pts) - 20.12%
Scorpion second place (1pt) - 46.59%
Midna second place (2pts) - 26.05%
Midna first place (1pt) - 18.69%
|Scorpion - 66.71% (24,499)
Midna - 44.74% (16,430)
This was our first "boring" match of the contest, but that didn't stop it from being good anyway.
See, most people expected Midna to be the one way out in first place. After all, she was the new Zelda character from Ocarina of Time Rehash: Delayed to Sell Wiis Edition. Most people really like her in said game, and as we all know, Zelda Always Wins.
Well, it didn't really turn out that way. Scorpion dominated this poll about as well as a non-elite can dominate, and even though she advanced into round 2 Midna completely crapped the bed here. The only reason she advanced at all was being a hyped Zelda character, and the bad competition helped. Agent 47 is irrelevant, and Kratos is another character in the long line of Tales characters unable to win a match. Even if you reran the one match a Tales character was able to win, Lloyd > Wesker all the way back in 2005, is there any doubt the result gets reversed now?
Now that I'm looking back on stuff for the first time in awhile, Midna lucked out big time here and Scorpion did REALLY well. With Mortal Kombat 9 getting such rave reviews all over the place, he and Sub-Zero should boost and we should also finally get more than two characters from that series into the field.
Stats and Analysis Edit
- Scorpion overperformed by +5.97%, the #15 most impressive performance of 2007
- Midna underperformed by -9.84%, the #2 most disappointing performance of 2007
this was the first real upset of the contest, and it wasn't even close. Midna was touted as the first Zelda character with actual personality and the star of Twilight Princess, the 2006 Game of the Year that crushed the competition. her competition was a washed up fighting game character, a fairly cult RPG character and Agent 47. easy, yeah?
well, Scorpion took the lead early, widened the gap quickly and never looked back. Midna may be well-known, but it seems the voters look at her as being more like Navi than Link. Midna was one of the biggest bombs of 2007, and this was looked at as being overestimation of Midna as opposed to underestimating Scorpion.
in reality, it was both.

Greek Yogurt With Honey, Fruit and Granola
Recipe by CaliforniaJan
This is one of my favorite breakfasts. If you haven't tried Greek style yogurt, it is thick and creamy even the non-fat tastes rich. Paired with granola, honey and a handful of fruit, it's a perfect start for your day!
Top Review by linda.winkler
I eat this almost every morning but skip the honey. Most granolas are sweet enough already and the honey just adds a lot of sugar to your diet which takes away from the health aspect. I use plain unsweetened yoghurt. I add blueberries or in winter, frozen fruit such as strawberries. Greek yoghurt is high in protein and keeps you feeling full for hours.

It was all done with deliberate intention for the glory of your family, blasphemously asserted to be the glory of God.

- Hoopville writes:
The season was already going to be a tough one before it began. They had already lost a lot from a year earlier just from the senior class. In addition, Shonn Miller, their best player, suffered a shoulder injury late last year that had not healed well, and redshirting was possible. As the season is almost over, we know that has happened. They lost two more starters they didn't expect to as well, so this team was basically starting over.
"I don't think anybody expected it to be this rough," said head coach Bill Courtney. "We knew we could have some struggles in losing Shonn (Miller), but also in losing Galal Cancer and Errick Peck to Purdue."
With that adversity came opportunity, as is often the case, and a couple of players have noticeably seized it. Nolan Cressler and Devin Cherry stand out in that regard. Certainly, some of their improved numbers comes out of necessity, but they also took advantage of the opportunity and have grown overall.
Cherry has almost doubled his scoring from last season, and while his three-point percentage is down from last season his overall shooting percentage is up. He has also greatly improved his assist and turnover numbers, as he had almost twice as many turnovers as assists in his first two seasons but now has more assists than turnovers – and nearly three times as many assists as he had a year ago. Cressler, meanwhile, has nearly doubled his scoring. While his three-point shooting has gone down, it's still a healthy 36 percent, and his overall shooting numbers are not down much.
The freshmen have shown promise, although the most promising of them, Robert Hatter, has come down with mono. It started when he hurt his groin, then felt ill. He's the only true point guard they have in the program, and he had been pressed into a big role earlier than the staff probably wanted to. As such, he certainly had some ups and downs, and now they hope he will get well in time to get into a significant number of postseason workouts. They have also seen improvement over the season from guard Darryl Smith, who led them with 14 points at Harvard on Friday night, and big man David Onourah has also developed. The next thing for Onourah to improve on is staying out of foul trouble so he can get more experience.
Next year, the Big Red get Miller back. Add him to the aforementioned emerging supporters, as well as the freshmen who now have a year under their belt, and this team has to be ready for a good leap. Cherry and Cressler haven't gotten better only because someone had to step up, and that bodes well.
"It's a process for us," said Courtney. "It's not just a this year process, it's a process for the whole program for the next few years."
Call it youthful exuberance, or something else, but one thing that the adversity and the losing hasn't done is break the players. Coaches always hang on to losses longer than players, and perhaps there's a degree to which that has helped this team. A couple of early losses in games that were there for the taking may have eroded the confidence a little, but it didn't change the effort.
"Those kids have kept us up because of their attitudes and the way they've reacted to the adversity," said Courtney. "They've been strong through it all. We're down a few guys now, but the guys are still together, they're still working, still fighting. I love coaching this group."
The Ivy League looks to be in an up cycle, as several young teams appear to be on the rise. Harvard will still be a contender next year, and Princeton will still have plenty of veteran talent although they will lose their best player. Yale remains a consistent top-half-plus team, while Brown has good young talent and Dartmouth has a few good classes put together but has been hampered by injuries this year.
So while Cornell will have a lot returning, that will be the case in an improving league. As such, the jury is out on whether that will translate into contention. We will have eight months to speculate on that starting in about a week.
- The Cornell Daily Sun recapped the weekend action for the Big Red and writes:
The Red took its recent struggles on the road this weekend, visiting Harvard on Friday night and Dartmouth on Saturday. The Crimson, the top team in the Ivy League, presented a tough matchup with its talented backcourt. The Green, on the other hand, is a team that Cornell was able to beat in one of its two victories this season.Harvard (22-4, 9-1 Ivy League) welcomed the struggling Red to Cambridge, fresh off a 59-47 win over Princeton the weekend before. The Crimson came out with a flurry of strong offensive plays and a lockdown defense that the Red struggled to penetrate. Sophomore guard Nolan Cressler and junior guard Devin Cherry — Cornell's scoring leaders — shot a combined one-for-eight in the first half. Freshman Darryl Smith was the only Red player who was able to exploit the defense, leading to nine first half points for the slashing guard.Harvard, on the other hand, found its stride midway through the second half, going on a 15-0 scoring run. At the break, the Crimson owned a 34-18 lead.The second half told a similar story, despite Cornell's attempts at mounting a comeback. Harvard's balanced scoring — with three players in double figures — helped to prevent that surge. The Crimson's freshman point guard Siyani Chambers put together 15 points and four assists to give his team the upper hand. Cornell left the matchup with a disappointing 72-47 loss, but looked ahead to its game against Dartmouth the following day.On Saturday evening, the Red pulled into Hanover, N.H. with confidence after having previously beaten the Green (10-16, 3-9 Ivy) two weeks before.The start of the game was marked by back-and-forth lead changes between the two teams. The Red came out with a strong attack and was able to establish a 15-9 lead before the Green countered and took over. The score at halftime was 36-30 in Dartmouth's favor.The second half was all Dartmouth, though, as the Green extended its lead to 12 just three minutes in. The Red made a few runs at reestablishing the lead, but Dartmouth was able to counter every time. Dartmouth's guard Alex Mitola scored 33 points, connecting on eight of his nine three-pointers, helping his team to a 87-78 victory.Cressler had an off-night shooting the ball on Saturday, going three-of-seven from the field for nine points. However, other players were able to step in. Sophomore guard Devin Cherry put up 22 points, three assists and three rebounds and junior forward Ned Tomic provided a spark in the paint by adding 12 points in just 13 minutes. Senior forward Dwight Tarwater, who has struggled offensively as of late, shot seven-of-10 from the field en route to 23 points.The Red has two games left in a season that has been plagued by injuries and disappointments. The team will return home to honor its seniors this weekend when it faces Princeton and Penn.
- Per the Boston Herald, Steve Donahue is still optimistic at Boston College. The Herald writes:
Donahue has been through tough times early in his coaching tenure before while at Cornell. His teams there were rebuilding for seven years before a breakthrough. Cornell went to the NCAAs each of his last three seasons, including a Sweet 16 run in his final year, before moving on to the job at BC. "You just question when you are in the middle of the run at Cornell and you are getting beat by 40 (points), and these teams were so dominant in that league," Donahue said. "I remember thinking this is going to be really hard.
- Cornell's 2010 Sweet Sixteen team is re-uniting on the court in an effort to win $500,000.
- Black Shoe Diaries, a Penn State blog, writes, "While the conference opponents are now known [for 2014-2015], most of the non-conference games have been pegged already as well. Penn State will get three games down at the Charleston Classic in an 8-team field that currently consists of Cornell, Akron, South Carolina, USC and Miami FL with two more schools TBA. "

- Division I teams with players or coaches with connections to Cornell include- Boston College (8-21), Army (14-15) and Purdue (15-14). Boston College's coaching staff includes former Cornell coaches, Steve Donahue, Nat Graham, Izzi Metz and Woody Kampmann and former Cornell player, Ryan Wittman (Cornell '10). Army is coached by former Cornell coaches, Zach Spiker and Kevin App (who also played for the Big Red) (Cornell '07). Purdue's roster includes Cornell graduate, Errick Peck (Cornell '13).
- Cornell's incoming recruiting class next season includes four members: Riley Glassmann (Fremd HS) Palatine, IL, 6-5, G, William "Will" Bathurst (Olean HS) Olean, NY, 6-3, G, Jordan Abdur-Ra'oof (Gonzaga HS) Washington, D.C., 6-7, F, and Pat Smith (Archbishop Wood HS) Warminster, PA, 6-5, F. New York State Mr. Basketball Finalist, Wil Bathurst had 24 points in a state playoff win per WGRZ/NBC News.
- Cornell RPI Watch: The RPI (Rating Percentage Index) is a measure of strength of schedule and how a team does against that schedule. It does not consider the margin of victory, but only whether or not a team won and where the game was played (home/away/neutral court). The formula is 25% team winning percentage (WP), 50% opponents' average winning percentage (OWP), and 25% opponents' opponents' average winning percentage (OOWP). (See: CollegeRPI.com for a further explanation of the formula.) The RPI may be the most influential factor in NCAA Tournament seeding. Cornell's RPI rank as of March 3, 2014 is No. 329 out of 351 total Division I teams. While neither the Ken Pomeroy or the Sagarin Rankings (USA Today) are used by the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee, the KenPom.com site ranks Cornell No. 333 in the nation, while the Sagarin Rankings (USA Today) have Cornell at No. 329. Both sites are predominantly used by fans and the media.

The debate over the morality and legality of physician-assisted suicide (PAS) isn't new. It's been a topic of heated discussions for hundreds of years. It doesn't show signs of cooling down anytime soon, either.

Those opposed to PAS argue four main points against the acceptance and legalization of it. And to every argument, there is a counter argument.

Improved Access to Hospice and Palliative Care

Because a model for quality end-of-life care is available through hospice and palliative care programs, there should be no reason anyone would need to seek PAS.

The focus should not be on legalizing PAS, but improving access to hospice. There are over 4,500 hospice agencies in the United States, but because of funding restrictions and the rigidity of the Medicare Hospice Benefit requiring patients to have a life expectancy of six months or less, millions of people in the United States don't have access to them.

Counter argument: Even with improved access to quality end-of-life care, there will still be rare cases of persistent and untreatable suffering. The most recent statistics we have from Oregon (2007), where PAS is legal, show that 88% of patients who opted for PAS were on hospice. That proves hospice and palliative care aren't always sufficient to treat severe suffering.

Limits on Patient Autonomy

It was determined in the opinion of Bouvia v. Superior Court (CA) that "the right to die is an integral part of our right to control our own destinies so long as the rights of others are not affected." This was a matter of patient autonomy. PAS is not a completely autonomous act; it requires the assistance of another person.

PAS threatens our society by cheapening the value of human life. Society has a responsibility to preserve the sanctity of life, so an individual's choice of PAS should be overruled for the overall good.

Counter argument: Physicians who are approached with the request to assist in ending a patient's life have the right to decline on the basis of conscientious objection. Their rights, therefore, are not affected according to the Bouvia decision.

The "Slippery Slope" to Social Depravity

Those in opposition to PAS are concerned that if assisted suicide is allowed, euthanasia won't be far behind. It is a slippery slope towards the "mercy killing," without consent, of individuals with mental illness, physical handicap, elderly, demented, homeless, and anyone else society deems "useless."

Counter argument: Our highly cultured societies are unlikely to allow this "slippery slope" to happen. Cited examples include Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, and Joseph Mengele, who were defeated in their mission to "cleanse" Germany's gene pool.

Violation of the Hippocratic Oath

The Hippocratic Oath states that a physician's obligation is primum non nocere, "first, do no harm." PAS directly contradicts that oath, as deliberately killing a patient is regarded as harm.

Counter argument: The Hippocratic Oath should be interpreted and modified as necessary according to an individual patient's need.

Alternatives to PAS

Those in opposition of PAS argue that there are legal and morally ethical alternatives to assisted death. Patients may refuse further medical treatments that may prolong their death, including medications.

Counter argument: Some patients do not rely on life-sustaining measures to live and still suffer. Withholding life-sustaining treatments would only prolong suffering for these patients.

Another argument is that patients can, and often do, decide to stop eating and drinking to hasten their death. Death will usually occur within one to three weeks, and it is usually reported as a "good death."

Counter argument: One to three weeks of intense suffering is too much for anyone to have to tolerate.

Summary

The final resolution of this debate has yet to be seen. Because of the undercurrent of public support on the subject of physician-assisted suicide, we may see it become more of a reality in our society. It is already legal in the United States in Oregon and bills to legalize it have been presented multiple times in many other states. PAS is also legal in several other countries, such as the Netherlands.

Poor service on arrival. Non-smoking room smelt of smoke and sweat. Beds had bed bugs, uncomfortable and very squeaky. Half size pillows that practically went flat when you put your head on them and the staff would not provide extra pillows. Doors, tap handles and lights were broken. Very noisy in the rooms, you could hear guests in other rooms using showers and toilets and noise from outside. Free continental breakfast consists of weak percolated coffee with powdered creamer, orange juice and bagels only. I wouldn't stay here again if they paid me. Nothing good about this place at all.

Where I live, there is a law against sleeping in the city's parks, so the police have issued hundreds of citations to get people to leave. The protesters asked the City Council to make an exception for the Occupy protests but they did not. So they just keep issuing the citations. I sure hope Americans can still peacefully protest...

Hello Pam:
Thanks for the information. Yes, let us hope that the protectors are strong and will not be manipulated into violence. These powers that be can be a nasty and devious bunch. They will not change easily, but change we all will eventually.
In truth there is no 99 %, only a 100 %. Although many have lost their way.
Kindest & warmest regards and it's always a pleasure to read your comments,

The Vodranites are a race of beings with one eyestalk from the Hutt Space planet Vodran (Planet).
Biology and appearanceEdit
The Vodranites have one hazel eye on a single eyestalk, much like dianogas. They have two anterior flipper-like appendages, along with a long and flexible tail. They possess a wide open mouth at the base of their eyestalk, with several sharp teeth surrounding it. On each side of their mouths grows a small appendage. Their skin is a reddish-brown color, and they have black stripes on their back. They have enhanced adrenal glands that allow for short bursts of amazing strength.
Society and cultureEdit
The Vodranites control their environment through terraforming facilities.
One member of the Vodranites was the mercenary, Niado Duegad, from the planet Vodran.

How can you e.g. validate in an XForm that an input is an existing purchase order ID in your database? Now if XForms is successful in the client (Firefox support is a nice thing, but what about IE?) you can be sure that Cocoon will provide a powerful combo using the CForms infrastructure server-side connected to client-side XForms. Also FWIW, you can use CForms without even knowing that you do.

By Gary Graves, USA TODAY
Answers to pressing questions heading into Sunday's Tums QuikPak 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway:
Q: Now that Jeff Burton's in the championship mix, how can he close the deal?
A: If Burton maintains the first-half consistency that set up Saturday night's win at Lowe's Motor Speedway and weaves in another victory (or two) over the second half of the Chase for the Sprint Cup, he could snatch a third consecutive trophy from Jimmie Johnson if the points leader suffers a wobble along the way.
TEAM REPORTS: Sprint Cup news, notes
More importantly, the South Boston, Va., native must avoid mishaps at his home track such as the one that derailed his previous quest in 2006. That year he arrived at Martinsville in first place and fresh off a third at Lowe's before losing an engine before halfway and finishing 42nd. Two weeks and a 38th place at Texas later, he was seventh to stay while Johnson got red hot and won the championship.
Burton was steadier last fall, running as high as fifth and no lower than 12th over the final five. It didn't make a difference as Johnson and Jeff Gordon dueled for the title, but in finishing eighth he fulfilled his goal of running as best as possible.
Nothing has changed this year, but Burton made it clear in the postrace news conference that he'd rather be in front of Johnson than behind him. The way he's racing the No. 31 Chevrolet right now that might be a matter of time, with a helping hand from fate.
"We've come into this thing very relaxed, committed to having a good time, committed to having fun," said Burton, who has third here in March. "We may have gotten a little too tight the first year because we had never done it before. I didn't think we were (tight) last year, but we got off to a slow start.
"This year we just said, 'You know what, we're going to go have a good time, race hard, do the best we can and it will be what it will be.' We're paying attention to us. … We're paying attention to (the points), but we're not going to get caught up in it."
Q: Is it too much to even imagine Johnson having a problem that offers hope?
A: Anything's possible but Johnson is again showing how calculating he can be as well as how not to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Consider Talladega, a race in which he was down a lap early and worried about being caught in "The Big One" saw him sidestep a late multi-car wreck right in front of him while Biffle, Carl Edwards and several Chase contenders were erased. He finished ninth and proved how luck figures as much in a title run as performance.
Q: Will Scott Speed be more patient in his Cup debut than he was in last week's ARCA finale?
A: He'll have to be if he wants any kind of career in stock cars. The former Formula One driver, who has transitioned into NASCAR through the Craftsman Trucks and the feeder ARCA ReMax Series, will make his Cup bow Sunday in the No. 84 Red Bull Racing Toyota. He's guaranteed to start because the Camry is 35th in owner points.
He debuts in Sprint Cup after last week's slam-bang ARCA finale at Toledo, Ohio, a race that began with Speed on the brink of a series championship and ended with a wadded-up car. Repeated banging from Ricky Stenhouse Jr. eventually put Speed in the wall and he chose to exact revenge instead of gutting it out, a decision that took out both and handed Justin Allgaier the championship.
Speed was unrepentant but stressed that he'll do no such thing in Cup.
"If I hadn't gone out and done what I did to (Stenhouse), then I may as well wear a sign that says, 'Hey, everyone. You can mess around with Scott Speed,' " Speed said in a release. "If Jeff Gordon comes along and moves me out of the way, I know better than to go back at him and try to run him off the track. I think about those things."

Weber: Rogue Elephant Or Just Ahead Of The Curve?
Is Bundesbank President Axel Weber talking himself out of a job? Either that, or he's getting well ahead of himself.
That Chancellor Angela Merkel wants a German to be the next head of the ECB is an open secret. With Europe's currency union seemingly bound to spend most of the next decade working off a mountain of government and private debt, Merkel is determined that the ECB shouldn't let that debt be inflated away. The trouble is, the most likely candidate seems unable to get on with the majority of his colleagues, to the point of contradicting them repeatedly in public.
Weber's call last week for the ECB to bin its bond-buying program reaped a stinging put-down at the weekend from ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet—well, stinging at least by the standards of the pathologically diplomatic Frenchman.


text: Is the Tide Turning for USA Sports Betting? SBR News Report By SBR Friday, February 10, 2017 Share with: While there is a betting shop on just about every corner in the UK, the United States offers few options for American punters to place a wager in their backyard, that is unless your backyard is Sin City. The tide may slowly be changing. In the last week, President Donald Trump and MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred have spoken about the possibility of a legal sports betting atmosphere across all 50 US states. While the President gave a pragmatic response about needing to consult with various officials and commissioners, he at least did not outright dismiss the idea. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred essentially made an about-face with his remarks that sports betting is happening out there and that fans do want to take part in a legal and safe manner. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver remains receptive to the idea, famously penning an op-ed for the New York Times speaking of the benefits that a regulated gaming climate would provide. There is also the fact that cash-strapped states would create jobs and boost their local economies by offering regulated sports betting in the same capacity that Las Vegas does. Standing in the way are the NFL and College Football leagues especially, not to mention 25-year-old federal legislation the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992, which limits sports betting nationwide to Nevada, Delaware, Oregon, and Montana. Nevada is the single largest beneficiary under PASPA and is the only state to offer unfettered access to all forms of sports wagers. Stay tuned to Sportsbook Review for our legal updates and coverage, and remember that if you are going to place a bet, make sure it is with a reputable betting site such as one of the companies listed in the best sportsbooks page.

Widget: Calculator shows value in submission page but no value when downloaded as PDFAsked by dkinney on May 14, 2014 at 12:42 AM
Hi, it seems that there is a bug in the form submissions PDF report. I have added a Calculator widget to my form. The calculated value is submitted and is visible at the submission page. But when I click Get PDF, I receive a PDF where the Calculator field is blank, i.e. not showing the number I see on the screen. Please help. Thanks.
Thank you for reporting this I have forward a ticket to our dev team to rectify the issue. We'll notify you via this thread for updates...
The issue seems to be resolved. Could you please confirm?
Kind regards
Hi, I just tested it, and the problem still persists. I am downloading PDF
reports of submissions using Google Drive integration and those reports do
not output the input from calculator widget. Hope you will be able to fix
it soon.
JotForm Support
Hi Lyubko
I am sorry if I am a bit confused by your latest message.
Were you instead referring to the Google Drive Integration PDF report file and NOT the PDF Report in the form's submissions page?
Were you using this integration?
The ticket submitted and the issue that was fixed by our support developer was on this feature of the form
Please clarify so that we can do further investigation.
If it is on the Google drive integration, it could be a different problem. I suggest you create a separate post about it using this link https://www.jotform.com/contact/
Provide as much details as you can. We will attend to it as soon as we can.
I see, initially I was referring to the issues in Submission menu, but I am
also using drive integration. I thought those issues are related and fixing
one would fix another. I'll submit another ticket.

Some funs afoot at the next Olympic Games in Bejing - no blathering on by Olympians about human rights or religion. Thank you, Chinese government. Finally, some "peace" and quiet during the games.
This all comes about because of a contract each Olympian will have to sign, found in section 4 - the Chinese magic number for DEATH by the way, of their deal with the Devil host of the next Olympics.
Spout off about human rights and zappo you will be escorted to the next plane back to a civilized country where freedom of speech is admired and thought of fondly – almost like a right or something.
I have not seen first hand the Chinese government's contract of political silence but I have seen Chapter 51 of the International Olympic Committees rules. Here is what they say in part:
Section 51 of the International Olympic Committee charter; "provides for no kind of demonstration, or political, religious or racial propaganda in the Olympic sites, venues or other areas".
One might think you could fall back on Article 36 of the Chinese Constitution. What you didn't know communist countries had constitutions? Here is the relevant bit:
Article 36 of China's constitution declares that citizens "enjoy freedom of religious belief," and that, "No state organ, public organization or individual may compel citizens to believe in, or not to believe in, any religion; nor may they discriminate against citizens who believe in, or do not believe in, any religion. (Except the Fulan Gong religion is illegal in China.)
If I was going to draft a contract to keep Olympians mouths shut about human rights or religion I would draft it something like this:
"No political or religious communication critical of China, Chinese policy, or any Chinese official shall be broadcast except by approved media for any period before, during, or after the Bejing Olympics".
That is about as close to McCain/Feingold as you can get in this case, and that law is "constitutional", right?
McCain-Feingold (1) the "electioneering communication" provisions (which required disclosure of, and prohibited the use of corporate and union treasury funds to pay for, broadcast, cable and satellite ads clearly identifying a federal candidate targeted to the candidate's electorate within 30 days of a primary or 60 days of a general election),...
