Chatting With the Reporters Behind Dollars for Docs
Charlie Ornstein and Tracy Weber talk about the money docs get from drug companies, and why it matters.
Since 2010, ProPublica reporters Charles Ornstein and Tracy Weber have been investigating the influence of pharmaceutical companies on medicine. Their reporting exposed the financial ties between medical societies and drug and device makers, led to the tightening of conflict-of-interest policies at universities and ignited debate over these relationships.
We asked them to share some of their findings with our recently started Patient Harm Facebook community, and we are sharing it here as well.
1. How common is it for doctors to get money from drug companies?
Until recently, drug companies considered this a trade secret and didn't release it, other than vague disclosures in lectures or medical journals. That changed a couple years ago as companies began settling federal whistleblower lawsuits (http://bit.ly/JQfalZ) alleging that companies unlawfully marketed their products for uses not allowed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
In 2011, a dozen drug companies released some information about their payments to doctors. Although they represent about 40 percent of U.S. prescription drug sales, there are dozens or hundreds of companies out there that have yet to disclose this information. These records show that hundreds of thousands of doctors receive money, meals and educational items to speak or consult on behalf of these companies.
2. How much money are we talking about?
$761 million in disclosed payments so far.
3. Why are doctors getting money from pharmaceutical companies and why is that allowed?
Doctor relationships with drug companies can take many forms, some of which are vital to the drug discovery process. Doctors can conduct research or clinical trials on behalf of companies, consult with them, deliver promotional talks on their behalf, and more.
Federal law prohibits direct kickbacks or rewards from companies to doctors to prescribe their products. The government also requires that when doctors do promotional speaking for drug companies, they must follow the same rules as the companies and may not promote the products for uses that are not authorized by the FDA. So, doctors often use company produced slides and talking points to guide their presentation. Doctors, however, may legally prescribe drugs for any reason they want, even if the use is not FDA approved.
4. How do I find out if my doctor is getting money from drug makers?
Search Dollars for Docs on ProPublica's website, where our colleague Dan Nguyen pulled all of the information together: http://projects.propublica.org/docdollars/.
5. Should I be concerned if my doctor is getting this money?
This is a personal decision. You certainly have the right to ask your doctor about a payment and what he/she did to receive it. Some patients have told us that they feel more confident about their doctors knowing that companies consider them experts. Other patients have said that the payments raise doubts about their doctor because they don't know whether the drugs they are receiving are appropriate for them. Talking to your doctor is a good idea.
What should I do if my doctor is getting drug company money?
One of our colleagues put together a list of questions that you can ask your doctor. These include asking about a drug's side effects, whether a cheaper version is available and whether there are non-drug alternatives that you can try first.
6. What are you working on now?
We are curious about doctors' prescribing practices and whether patients have concerns about drugs that were prescribed to them by their doctors. Were the drugs you were prescribed appropriate, both therapeutically and financially? Let us know. Our emails are firstname.lastname@example.com and email@example.com.
If you or a loved one has been harmed while undergoing medical care, you can also contribute to our reporting by filling out our Patient Harm Questionnaire.

My heart doctor was taken over by a large hospital complex and if he had gone with them, he would have had to give them his patient list built up over many years and subjected himself and his staff to all the big pharma reps that bring drugs in to use on their patients. He refused and went with another group of heart specialists.Many of the heart drugs on the market have many side effects and that is not told to the doctors when they push drugs. Doctors are offered huge perks like vacations , cars and other influences. My doctor is for single payer health care system as are many in my State. They are all sick and tired of having to hire pencil pushers who know the hundreds of codes every insurance company has as non are standard. He is fed up with for profit hospitals refusing to let YOUR doctor come to the hospital to treat you, because many hospitals are using residents under the stupervision of a "doctor" and are slow to report to your primary care doctor what new tests were done or any medicaton changes.
Doctors and nurses are in the majority for a single payer health care system. The see how the for profit hospitals are cutting back on staff and cutting back on mersa cleaning products to the point where most patients are fearful entering a hospital for fear of contracting other diseases.
Importing insulin now, but shouldn't have to. I left this comment on the internet:
I just read that George H.W.Bush & Dan Quayle with ties to Eli Lilly encouraged the fast track of the rDNA synthetic insulin through the FDA & then the Bush administration tried to limit the public's ability to sue drug companies. The profits from rDNA synthetic insulin affords the powerful to purchase new cars for their children, while we parents of diabetic children are left to purchase coffins or worse for our children, because of the defective insulin that we are forced to buy in America.
This was the reply to that comment:
She is right. Cloned insulin is a defective product. In Eli Lilly's cloned insulin's phase 2 clinical trials in England in 1982, there was a 30% adverse reaction rate. But Eli Lilly covered that percentage up and had their own doctors report a 2 to 3% adverse reaction rate. Again, Eli Lilly wanted to raise the price of insulin & couldn't do so unless they "improved" it. But cloned insulin IS NOT an improvement, just another defective product from Eli Lilly. End of their reply.
rDNA synthetic human ( not human ) insulin is the only insulin that you can get in America now, even though Eli Lilly stated that rDNA synthetic insulin wouldn't work for many diabetics.
If you go to " Dollars for Docs " you will find that many doctors are paid by drug companies which is a conflict of interest to say the least. Many doctors have gone from healers to short-sighted business people. Many doctors, for a few shiny beads from the drug companies, will throw their patients under the bus.
Any drug company that can knowingly profit from a drug that they know will cause death or worse is in my book a sociopath. These sociopaths become wealthy & use their wealth to shape this country for their benefit. The irony is, that if they seek psychological help from many American psychologist who accept shiny beads from the drug companies, they will find themselves under a bus.
I'm thrilled my doc lectures & does research because it means he gets samples! Being a younger disabled NYer, I'm ineligible for the state EPIC plan that protects seniors from falling into & having to buy their way out of Part D's uninsured donut hole. I use 4-6 bottles of insulin each month & 1 bottle of a second insulin. The cost of insulin has put me in the donut hole every year. Right now I'm only taking the primary insulin because mt doc had no samples of the second. I carefully assess my prescriptions and decide what not to fill if no one has samples.
I'm going to take insulin, neither my doc or I care which I take so I take whatever he has in their fridge. I understand the premise of the issue but without insulin my prognosis is pretty shaky!
First, I am not an apologist for the drug industry. There is very much with which to take issue. However on the subject of Human Insulin (official name) and Eli Lilly, Mother of Diabetic is off base, though I wish no one had to deal with the problems she faces. Reactions to current Human Insulin are rare. Improvements in purification since the introduction in the early 1980's have improved the product. Remember that when Human Insulin was introduced there was a growing concern that we could be running out of animal based product – inadequate supply to meet the growing demand. There is much to disapprove of with Bush the elder, but facilitating the introduction of Human Insulin would not be on my list. As far as Lilly is concerned, in 40 years of some form of pharmacy practice, I have found the company and their representatives to be among the most ethical in the business. Have they had some problems – sure. Do I wish some of their products were offered at lower prices – yes. Do we need to be vigilant to be sure that they play within the rules – absolutely. But, are they among the worst of bad actors – hardly.
You really need to read " INSULIN: A VOICE FOR VOICE " and watch the movie " Puncture". The running out of animal based insulin was a lie and there has been a lot of that. More and more diabetics are importing beef and pork insulin from Canada and England. Eli Lilly stated that rDNA would not work for all diabetics. rDNA Human ( not human insulin ) was number 8 for side effect with the FDA. Only people who don't have diabetes or people who have never been on beef or pork insulin think that rDNA synthetic human ( not human ) insulin is a safe product. Lets talk about dead in bed, car crash deaths & unexplained deaths from low blood sugars from rDNA synthetic human ( not human insulin ) because of no warning which is one of the side effects. You must work for Eli Lilly.
Mother of Diabetic and others - Nope, do not work for Lilly, never have.
As you know there are many types of insulins most made by Lilly or Novo Nordisk. All the human insulin products are designated by the food and drug administration (FDA) as Human Insulin (rDNA origin). The latter designation to indicate that the process for manufacture is by a recombinant DNA process. The product is called human since it chemically identical to the insulin that is manufactured in humans and differs slightly from insulin manufactured in cows or pigs. So, you call human insulin "rDNA synthetic human ( not human ) insulin" if you want, it is just not the FDA approved name. I hope that importing beef/pork products is reasonably safe and the FDA has some Q&A on the subject at the FDA website. There are quite a few hoops to jump through. As far as insulin side effects are concerned, the wide majority are due to low blood sugar which can be catastrophic but I am unaware of information demonstrating that this is worse or better with human insulin vs. the beef/pork combination. It is inaccurate to say that there is no warning about hypoglycemia by an insulin manufacturer. This is a prominent part of the patient package insert for insulin products. I appreciate the reading and viewing suggestions.
I have been a practising Canadian family physician for 36 years. I have never taken a penny from pharmaceutical manufacturers, because it places a physician in an obvious conflict of interest. But in addition, I have a) had no visits from drug company reps; b) not accepted literature or doodads from drug company salespeople, including material from 3rd party marketers with drug names or company logos on them; c) have found out how to block 99% of drug company direct mail advertising, including the famous "throw-away" journals, also called "advertising vehicles"; d) as president of our hospital's medical staff for a time, managed to eliminate drug company salespeople setting up a table at our hospital; e) most importantly, made it my active professional responsibility to find out about the myriad non-pharmaceutical, non-surgical remedies, therapies and interventions, including most particularly primary preventive approaches (e.g. diet, exercise, and community and other governmental steps and regulations that make healthy living easier to achieve) and included the promotion, of and advocacy for, these practices and approaches in my list of professional responsibilities, both in my clinical practice, and in the community at large (and globally as well). That is what any responsible primary care practitioner should be doing, as I see it.

The star of "Hannah Montana" on the Disney Channel was born Destiny Hope Cyrus in Nashville. She had such a smiley face as a young child that they nicknamed her Miley.Her film, "Hannah Montana: The Movie," is slated to open at theaters in April and features roles by Dolly Parton and Vickie Lawrence.
Dear Ken: With O.J. Simpson back in the news recently, can you tell me what would have been four or five of the former NFL star's most famous films?
Simpson had interesting roles in "Capricorn One," "The Cassandra Crossing" and "The Towering Inferno," but his best role was as Detective Nordberg in "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad" and its two sequels.
Dear Ken: On the second sitcom series that starred Bob Newhart, what were the names of the three actors who played Larry, Darryl and Darryl? When did that show run?
The comedian's second sitcom was simply titled "Newhart" and set at the Stratford Inn in Norwich, Vermont. It ran from 1982 to 1990 on CBS. William Sanderson played Larry, the talkative one, while Tony Papenfuss was the first Darryl and John Voldstad was the second Darryl. Neither actor ever spoke on the show.
Dear Ken: I remember some cartoons from my youth with a big, wise-cracking rooster with a strong Southern accent. Who was that?
I say, I say that was none other than Foghorn J. Leghorn, my boy.The rooster with a boisterous Kentucky or Virginia accent first appeared in the cartoon "Walky Talky Hawky" in 1946. Warner Bros. used the character in about 30 cartoons from then until 1963. His voice was by the late great Mel Blanc.Some of his characterization seems to have been borrowed from a blustery Southern politician, Sen. Cleghorn, on Fred Allen's radio show of the 1940s.

Cherry Valley is a town in Otsego County, New York, USA. The population was 1,224 at the 2010 census.[1]
Within the Town of Cherry Valley is a village, also called Cherry Valley. The town is in the northeast corner of the county and is northeast of the City of Oneonta.
The modern history of Cherry Valley begins with John Lindesay receiving a land grant from George II of England; he moved there in 1739, and seven Anglo-Scottish families from New Hampshire moved into the area the following year. Due to high snow, the community almost failed but was saved by provisions from local natives.
During the American Revolutionary War, Walter Butler, a New York Loyalist, led a mixed force of Indians and Loyalists to the area, resulting in the Cherry Valley Massacre, during which more than 40 people were killed and many were captured. This massacre was followed by a second raid in 1780, leading to the temporary abandonment of the village.
The town was established in 1791 from Canajoharie (in Montgomery County) as one of the original towns in the county. It was subsequently divided, giving rise to several new towns: Middlefield, Springfield, and Worcester (all in 1797) and Roseboom in 1854.
In 1812, the community of Cherry Valley set itself apart by incorporating as a village.

Carey Mulligan In Talks For Stoker
And Jodie Foster may join too?
Carey Mulligan recently starred in Never Let Me Go for Fox Searchlight, and now she's in talks to return to the mini studio for a new film called Stoker with Jodie Foster in talks to join her. No, as far as we know it has nothing to do with Dracula. But the weird part is who wrote the script.
You see, this story about an eccentric teenager and the estranged uncle who returns to the family after her father's death was written by Wentworth Miller. Yes, Prison Break's Wentworth Miller. And you thought he was a himbo. Well, apparently not: Fox Searchlight are talking to Scott Free about producing the movie, so they're clearly serious about making this an arthouse hit.
There's no director on board so far, and of course much will depend on who they get to play the pivotal uncle role - and indeed on whether Mulligan and Foster sign up - but it does sound like this might be worth keeping an eye on, if only because Fox are aiming pretty high with the talent.
Wentworth Miller. Huh.

Scott discussed his work with the Secular Coalition (lobbying organization) including arrangements for a luncheon with Richard Dawkins on 3/12 in Philadelphia. Lunch will be held at a colonial tavern and will include 4-courses. The event is $300/ticket. Intended to be a small group discussion, members will be able to converse with Dawkins as he gets a feel for the political landscape in Pennsylvania. Secular Coalition flyers were made available at the front of the room for interested parties.

AaA is not intended to be a debate session, but an invitation to people to ask questions. Attendees may answer at will.
Attendees were encouraged not to, "gang-up" since others who approach us do so as a minority- we should not appear belligerent
bringing folding chairs is recommended
Use of the Socratic method may be helpful, i.e., asking instead of telling while the other party waits their turn to speak
stay calm and consider your presence there as a member of LFS, not as an individual.

There comes a time in everyones life when they must decide the direction in which there life will take. That time has come for me and because of that I must take my leave from wikia inorder to better myself and start my life.
Last year many terrible things happened to me. My house was broken into and I lost almost everything of worth, my mother cleaned out my bank account and stole around $8,000 dollars from me, on a somewhat related note my mom and my stepfather are now in the middle of a divorce, and someone who mattered more to me than anyone now hates me. However that last thing has made me realize alot about myself. I've saddly not always been tha friend that I want to be. I have now seen just how hateful, spiteful, jealous, inconsiderate, and selfish I can sometimes be. I also realize that I have allowed depression and fear to cripple me into not moving forward in my life and I've made excuses for myself when I should have realized my mistakes and learned from them.
However its not all bad. These events have made me grow as a person and made me realize where I went wrong. Its really hard to take a look in the mirror and realize that your not the person you think you are but I have and I'm a much better person because of it. Now I see that I must stand on my own two feet and try to find my place in this world, I must work to better myself to keep from repeating past mistakes, and I must put the past behind me and move forward.
The reason I'm leaving Wikia is simple, Anytime I spend on here is time I'm not spending working toward my goals. If anyone wants to contact me they can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or on PSN username blak2thgrin. Also if anyone is a fan of Vanguard Bandits and would like to adopt the wiki I started please contact me. I've made many friends on this site and I'll miss you all dearly.
Sorry to break one of the many rules of the internet by posting something so personal but I wanted to be upfront and honest about why I won't be around. Besides my life is an open book and I take great pride in saying I'm a better person now than I've ever been.

Serb and Montenegrin politicians discuss elections
Serbian opposition politicians are due to meet Montenegrin government leaders today, to discuss the Yugoslav federal elections scheduled for next month.
The Serbs wants the Montenegrin leadership to abandon its proposed boycott of the elections, and to answer yesterday's call by the United States to unite behind a single candidate against the Yugoslav President, Slobodan Milosevic.
The Montenegrins say the elections have been called under terms that favour Mr Milosevic and his supporters, and should not be recognised.
And on Monday, a senior government advisor, Miodrag Vukovic, said he expected Montenegro to stand by its plan. Montenegro is Serbia's junior partner in the Yugoslav Federation.

Jim Mergard has worked at AMD for 16 years and is known for his extra-ordinary skills and expertise in designing chips. Mergard served at AMD in the capacities of vice president and chief engineer, but recently left to work at Samsung. However, Apple was quick to woo away the highly valued designer and bring him to Cupertino to work for Apple.
Mergard has been very high in demand in the tech arena. He is considered a maestro when it comes to designing and building processors. He has been involved in creating some custom-design processors for low-end laptops which is one of his many significant achievements.
Recently, Mergard left AMD for Samsung. The new hire was highly promising for the company and it was expected that he would help Samsung steer towards custom-design chips for its devices. However, before that could happen, Apple decided to entice Mergard.
According to Wall Street Journal, Mergard has finally decided to join Apple. It doesn't come as a surprise since Apple has been trying to bank its edge over other competitors in the smartphone and tablet market on its custom-designed cores. We saw the first of these in iPad, which featured an Apple-exclusive A4 chip.
However, Apple has also been planning to work on desktop and laptop processors, apart from using its own chips in the mobile devices. It has been just rumors until now. But hiring Mergard may be the first step Apple has finally taken to enter the processor market at full-throttle.

D600 Unexpected AF Priority setting behavior
Thanks for checking. I just re-tested my D600, and it does not behave the way I originally described. I must have done something wrong. Sorry about that! I wish I could delete my original post.
So in AF-A mode, if it decides to use AF-S, it defaults to focus priority, and if it decides to use AF-C, it defaults to release priority?
That would be a convenient way to quickly change from release to focus priority for when I need to hand my camera to someone else to take a picture for me.
GLcymru wrote:
I have just tested my D600, and it does take a photo as soon as I press the shutter release in AF-C regardless of whether the camera has achieved focus or not.
Have you checked your Custom settings a1 (for AF-C) and a2 (for AF-S), because with these you are able to set whether you want the camera to be on shutter or focus release.
However in AF-A it will allways be focus release priority - unless I have missed a custom setting somewhere.

Turns out the seventh time is the charm.
Friday night, Nationals pitcher Dan Haren took the hill for the seventh time in his career against the Phillies. Unlike the first six times, this time Haren came away with the win, in a 9-2 triumph for Washington.
This proved to be a historical win for Haren because—as noted in advance here at THT—he'd already beaten the other 29 teams. This win gives Haren a victory against his 30th/final franchise.
Haren got to his 28th team back in 2009. At the time, he needed just the White Sox and Phillies. He got the ChiSox in April 2011, and has been needing just the Phillies ever since.
He is the 13th pitcher to join the club.Preceding him in the club are some of the best pitchers of the last 20 years, men like Kevin Brown, Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling. Then again, also beating him to the club are a bunch of random journeymen like Woody Williams, Terry Mulholland, and my personal favorite, Vicente Padilla.
Rounding out the club are Al Leiter, Jamie Moyer, Barry Zito, Javier Vazquez, Derek Lowe and A.J. Burnett.
And now, Dan Haren.
Here is when the guys joined the club:
April 27, 2002: Al Leiter
March 31, 2004: Kevin Brown
July 3, 2004: Terry Mulholland
Sept. 10, 2004: Curt Schilling
Sept. 26, 2006: Woody Williams
May 26, 2008: Jamie Moyer
April 19, 2009: Randy Johnson
June 12, 2010: Barry Zito
July 21, 2010: Javier Vazquez
Aug. 10, 2010: Vicente Padilla
May 10, 2010: Derrek Lowe
July 21, 2012: A.J. Burnett
Aug. 9, 2013: Dan Haren

Notes from the Heartland, in Williston, North Dakota
On state highway 85, trucks loaded with the means of the North Dakotan oil boom roll over the bloody headless carcasses of dogs, elk and racoons. Grit and gravel fizz through eighteen-wheelers and patter the windshield. Roadside signs scream prosperity ("We have land!") and piety ("an embryo is a life not a choice"). Haphazardly constructed houses, campsites and hotels suggest quick-buck urgency. Machines dip in and out of wells in metronomic regularity. Flames of burnt natural gas flutter in drilled cornfields like hot orange flags of adventure and conquest.
Williston is another America. There is no unemployment. Rents would make Manhattanites blush. Jobs at Wal-Mart and McDonald's pay twice the federal minimum wage. The city has revenue to burn. "How long do you think it will last?" ask locals, as if befuddled by the happenstance of their geography. Of course, the town has problems. Traffic, crime and prices are all on the increase. But only a minority wish the fracking would stop – and most of them have long since sold up. Read more

With the recent chilling temperatures and the temptation to just be comfy during break, it can be difficult to put together a warm, effortless and chic ensemble. While many students would find it easy to throw on a pair of sweats and UGGs, this Fashionista proves that style shouldn't be abandoned on break.
Her jeans are simple dark denim, which goes readily with many pieces while remaining classy and streamlined. Her black leather ankle boots are both functional and fashionable. It's important to make sure your footwear is right for conditions involving slush or black ice, and this Fashionista has the appropriate shoes. A little heel adds some sass without being hazardous. Her Calvin Klein black peacoat is warm, yet smart and classic. A winter white fluffy scarf adds bold contrast to her otherwise dark outfit, while functioning to keep this Fashionista snug. A big black tote bag is a chic way to handle belongings while traveling or shopping. The final touch to this simple ensemble is her houndstooth-patterned gloves. They bridge the gap between her black pieces and her winter white scarf, but they keep her hands from freezing—there's nothing cute about chapped hands! Finally, she takes it all another step further by adding a bright pink lip to keep things merry.
Because this ensemble is so effortless, it is easy to incorporate into any wardrobe. Dark neutrals combined with a few light neutrals is easy to pull off, and you'll always look classic.
One Simple Change: In order to add extra comfort to this ensemble, you could switch out the denim jeans for dark jeggings or leggings.

Jason Wu Spring – Jason Wu took a more minimal approach to his spring 2014 collection with a showing of diaphanous slip dresses and lingerie-inspired pieces. Hues of ivory, champagne, nude and black took over the catwalk for the Taiwanese designer's latest outing. There were also some more practical pieces included such as a leather bomber, trenches and suit jackets. Practicality met femininity with a selection of sheer tops, adorned with well-placed pockets. On the evening wear front, Wu sent out crystal embellished dresses as well as frothy mermaid silhouettes for his final looks.

Watch Autistic Savant Stephen Wiltshire Use Google's Tilt Brush to Draw a Car in Virtual RealityPosted by Greg at 03:03, 03 Jan 2017
Autistic savant Stephen Wiltshire has been featured in a new advertisement from car manufacturer Nissan, demonstrating his amazing memory and artistic ability. Given just 60 seconds to observe one of their cars, Stephen then used Google's virtual reality-based 3D painting tool Tilt Brush - which he had never used previously - to 'sketch' the car.
To see Stephen working on a grander scale, check out the video below of him using pencil and paper to draw the city of Rome in virtually perfect detail, from memory, after just one viewing from a helicopter.

AGD's recommendation
these are by far the coolest pencils i've ever seen. they're pure graphite and sculpted to look like old writing instruments or just random objects.
My Collections:
Yournewbestfriend's recommendation
These graphite writing objects are made by an artist in San Francisco. Designed to write beautifully but they won't smudge on your hand when you're holding them. And, when used everyday it will last 7 to 9 years. Dang! That's the coolest pencil I've ever seen. Back to school has gotten so much cooler.

Emotions Are Deeper Than Emoticons
Have you ever been on the brink of sadness, balancing between stable contentment and reeling unhappiness? Where you're upset about one small thing and then everything else sad and irrelevant comes flooding into your mind and it won't leave you alone and you just sit there pondering and wondering and reveling? Where you're at the point of tears stinging your eyes but not quite spilling over? When you sit and wonder why you can't escape the monstrous rut you've somehow stumbled into, so you keep on numbly sitting there. Pondering and wondering and reveling. Too many words clouding your mind to form together into a decent song. You've successfully managed to cling to happiness despite the smallest and largest of recent tribulations, but now, one thing has caused you to go riveting into the darkness. One thing has made your fingers begin slipping from the rope to which they clung. Yeah. Emotions are deeper than emoticons.

Cameron Cooper
I don't really know much of my family history but i do know my great great grandfather was a Cooper but he came over here from Ireland married a Scottish woman but somehow ended up in the east midlands! I think its amazing that the Cooper name has such an incredibly diverse history!
who love their last name cooper!!!!! i do
I am related to James Fenmore Cooper. The man who wrote "last of the Mohicans"....anyone else?
About the Anglo-Saxon origin of the name Cooper, no doubt! I'm from the Saxon speaking part of the Netherlands, and we have people here with the surname "Koeper" which is pronounced "Cooper". In our dialect "Koep" or "Kuup" means a barrel. Barrel-maker was a very common profession from the roman period until as late as the mid 20th century. So it's not surprising this surname's rather common, just like other surnames deriving from common professions.

Focus Article: Gender Differences in Pain
Thuan T. T. Dao, DMD, MSc, Dip Prostho, PhD/Linda LeResche, ScD
A review of the literature on gender and clinical pain reveals a disproportionate representation of women receiving treatment for many pain conditions and suggests that women report more severe pain, more frequent pain, and pain of longer duration than do men. Gender differences in pain perception have also been extensively studied in the laboratory, and ratings of experimentally induced pain also show some sex disparity, with females generally reporting lower pain thresholds and tolerance than males. However, there is little consensus on whether these apparent differences reflect the way men and women respond to pain, differing social rules for the expression of pain, or biologic differences in the way noxious stimuli are processed. In this paper, our working hypothesis is that the higher prevalence of chronic orofacial pain in women is a result of sex differences in generic pain mechanisms and of as-yet unidentified factors unique to the craniofacial system. We will review the evidence concerning gender differences in the prevalence of pain conditions, with a focus on orofacial pain conditions. Evidence and hypotheses concerning biologic and psychosocial factors that could influence prevalence rates will also be discussed.

Plugin that restricts file downloads to specific users?
Anyone know if there are any plugins that do the below? Thanks!
This has been posted on the WP-Advanced Forum
"For the Web site of a design firm, I want to create a Client Support page that is dynamically built especially for the logged-in client, and that contains all info (text, calendar, deadlines, and especially file downloads) pertaining to that client, and which *only* that client should see. I envision this user scenario:
1. User goes to a static front-end "Client" page and logs in with a username and password.
2. The page uses the now-authenticated username to dynamically build on the fly a custom page for that user, listing all information relevant to him/her, including a list of available file-downloads which have been uploaded by the company and associated somehow with that user. And this info is visible only if you're logged in.
In WP, can you in fact:
A) Associate uploaded files with a specific user, maybe by using categories?
B) Make these files not visible to all users?
C) Get the username and supply it as a parameter to a function that will return a linked list of files that have that username as a category? Make such a file-list visible only if the user is logged in?
Something like that? Thanks."

The final countdown is on to this year's Grassington Festival.
Now in its 33rd year, the festival will run from next Friday, June 14 to Saturday, June 29 and will offer 15 days of live music, dance, theatre, film, comedy, walks and workshops.
There will also be plenty of visual arts, which are themed on the weather.
A host of colourful umbrellas will be popping up around the village and there will be a special weather booth in the town hall, created by theatre designer Emma Bayliss, which will broadcast a daily weather report.
Food will also play a major part in the festival, with The World Yorkshire Pudding Championships at Linton Green next Sunday, June 16 as well as various masterclasses.
But the main events will start with a high-energy concert by The Beat, one of the biggest bands of the 2 Tone movement, in the town hall next Friday night.
It will be followed next Saturday by a weather-themed carnival parade, which will leave the national park car park at 10.30am and will make its way to the village square. It will be led by Hope and Social, named as one of the UK's top five live bands by the Independent.
Other musical highlights include Jools Holland, Black Dyke Band, The Orchestra with ELO, the Levellers. cellist Raphael Wallfisch and pianist Peter Donohoe while theatre treats include Jessica Walker's one woman show Pat Kirkwood is Angry, detailing the life of one of Britain's superstar singers of the Second World War, and Fleet Street doyenne Virginia Ironside's Growing Old Disgracefully.
Skipton's Aireville School will present a promenade performance of Tunstill's Men, focusing on Grassington men who signed up to fight in the First World War.
"Everyone in the festival team is delighted to be able to bring such high quality, internationally-renowned acts to this June's festival," said festival director Kate Beard.

Citation: Bloem, S., Carpenter, J.E., Marec, F., Bloem, K.A. 2000. Successfully managing lepidopteran pests with genetic methods: the future is now [abstract]. Proceedings of XXI International Congress of Entomology. p.562. Interpretive Summary: No interpretive summary required.
Technical Abstract: Genetic pest suppression is unique among biological control methods in that it involves the release of genetically modified insects to control the same species. These methods are unparalleled in their specificity and safety because only the target-species is affected. Lepidopterans are the most important pests of many major crops, forests and stored products. Safe and pest specific control tactics against these ubiquitous pests are constantly being sought. Three genetic methods have been developed and field-tested against Lepidoptera, and of these, radiation-induced inherited sterility (or F1 sterility) is considered to be the most promising. F1 sterility can be readily combined with other biological controls such as pheromone mating disruption and natural enemies. In the application of F1 sterility the radiation dose is lowered so that the released insects are partially sterile or adjusted so that the females are completely sterile and the males partially sterile. The radiation-induced deleterious effect are inherited for 1 or more generations. As such, releasing partially sterilized insects offers far greater suppressive potential than using fully sterile insects. The genetic basis of F1 sterility in Lepidoptera will be discussed and the advantages of this genetic control method will be illustrated using examples from both perennial (apples and dates) and annual (corn and cole crops) cropping systems. In the face of growing concerns surrounding the use of genetically modified crops, the presence of pesticide residues on exportable commodities, the development of pesticide resistance, the U.S. Food Quality and Protection Act, and environmental, ground water and worker safety issues we argue that now is the time to increase our commitment to the genetic methods in controlling Lepidoptera.

A man who was shot and killed Wednesday morning by a Pima County sheriff's deputy was in Tucson on leave from the military to attend the funeral of his father who killed himself last month at the same home, a sheriff's official said.
At about 7:30 a.m. deputies arrived at a home in the 7500 block of South Woodbury Grove Drive near South Wade and West Valencia roads, after receiving a 911 call about a suicidal man, said Deputy Courtney Rodriguez, spokeswoman for the Pima County Sheriff's Department.
The man barricaded himself in his home, Rodriguez said. Neighbors were evacuated from their homes and SWAT was called in to assess the situation.
A deputy eventually shot and killed a man in the home, though Rodriguez could not provide any details. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
In October deputies were called to the same home in response to a suicidal call from the man's father, Rodriguez said.
The man who was shot this morning was on leave from deployment to Afghanistan. He was in Tucson to attend his father's funeral.

Rep. Kelly grills VA on Butler outpatient center
Rep. Mike Kelly is demanding that the Department of Veterans Affairs explain why it stopped construction on a $75 million outpatient center in Butler and whether the facility will ever be built.
"The veterans and other constituents in Western Pennsylvania continue to have a number of questions about this project and even more in the light of recent developments," Kelly wrote in a letter dated Wednesday to VA Secretary Eric K. Shinseki.
Veterans Affairs spokeswoman Josephine Schuda said Thursday that her agency would respond to the congressman before addressing media inquiries about the questions he raised. Kelly set an Oct. 4 deadline for the VA to provide him with answers.
"Is there any consideration to terminating this project all together and instead focusing on upgrading care, facilities and processing at the current Veterans Hospital facility in Butler?" Kelly asked.
On Aug. 9, the VA terminated the lease on the outpatient center being built by Westar Development Co. of Aurora, Ohio, accusing it of "false and misleading representations" during the bidding process. The VA had stopped work June 21 based on an investigation by its Office of Inspector General "of the prime contractor and certain company representatives."
Kelly asked for a copy of the Inspector General's report or for the VA to explain the "false and misleading statements."
Westar President Sam Calabrese did not return messages.
Westar won a contract in May 2012 to build the outpatient center on property adjacent to the VA's Butler Township campus and lease the clinic back to the VA. Kelly has criticized the lease agreement, saying it cost too much. Kelly wants to know how much the government has paid Westar and if it recovered any money from the company.
The Tribune-Review submitted a formal request for records related to the project in August and is awaiting those records.

Wildcat Spotlight
Running out of the locker room ready to battle yet another opponent. Breathing in fresh mountain air. Making a big play at a critical moment. Landing among fresh powdery snow.
For senior defensive back Kyle Wright, nothing else compares to the rush he gets from football and snowboarding.
When he's playing football, Wright is leader of the defense.
"Football is hard work and takes dedication," says the senior monsterback from Springfield, Ore.
When it comes time for snowboarding, it's Wright's chance to get away from everything and just focus on the smoothest way to reach the bottom the ski slope. During the last seven winters, Wright has spent as many as 100 days a year surrounded by snow.
"I'm a snowboard addict," he confesses. "I was pretty close to moving to Bend (Oregon). I wanted to see how far I could go with it."
After he completed high school, Wright studied two possible paths laid out before him. He had the option to see how far snowboarding could take him, or pursue his other passion, football, in college.
For a variety of reasons, Wright opted to take the path that led to football. "I wanted to make an impact with a team early in my career," he says. "I heard how good Linfield was and I wanted to play with a lot of guys who have the same drive and motivation that I have. I really liked the guys I met at Linfield, especially coaches Brandon Hazenberg and Neil Fendall. They had a huge impact on me early on in my first visit."
Despite having made football his top pursuit, Wright hasn't given up his other recreational hobby, snowboarding. In fact, he still intends to make a career of it.
"I'm a business management major. I would like to get into product management in the sports world," he says, visualizing his life beyond Linfield. "I want to start in smaller companies with product testing. My dream job is doing product line management for action line sports, like snowboarding."
Wright has had no shortage of success at Linfield. He was a starter on all four special teams his first two seasons, and started a few times in the secondary during his sophomore year. He has continued to grow in a leadership role ever since.
"I feel like my defining moment was my first start on defense my sophomore year against Pacific Lutheran. I played pretty well and was reassured that football was really what I love to do, and that all the hard work had paid off. And I knew then that I had a really good career ahead of me. It was good to get my first start under my belt and to know I could perform at a really high level," he says.
"I've grown since then. Being captain last year as a junior was a huge thing, and now I can have the impact on the team that I wanted, since I basically play the quarterback of the defense."
He attributes his success to the help of his coaches.
"Coach Fendall and Hazenberg really helped me through freshman and sophomore year. I got a lot of positive feedback from Fendall and he really pushed me to be not just a good football player, but also a good man, and a good husband eventually. I learned a lot of life lessons from him. Coach Hazenberg, he's a player's coach. I can talk to him about anything. He's pushed me to not be lackadaisical, to continue to try and get better every day."
Head coach Joseph Smith acknowledges the work Wright has put in to ensure the Wildcats' continued success.
"Kyle's been the steady spark in our secondary for the last few years. There's no question that Mr. Wright 'brings it' on game day. His fire and competitiveness spreads to those around him and he's one of those players that's a joy to watch play the game."
Smith saw Wright play high school football and knew he would be a perfect fit at Linfield.
"We believed Kyle would be exactly what we desired in the middle of our defense. And he has more than lived up to those high expectations."
As a whole, Wright is extremely devoted to his team, and his team is just as devoted to him.
Teammate Tyler Robitaille has nothing but positive feelings towards Wright.
"Kyle's work ethic, attitude at practice and during games is always focused. He always wants to learn and improve. He really is our leader, making calls and knowing how to rotate in our complex defense. Off the field, he's my best friend. Kyle is a man of high character on and off the field. He's respected by all members of the team as well as the coaches."
Wright believes the Linfield defense is a cut above other programs. "Shout out to the defensive line, best in the country," he says. "They make my job really easy."
Robitaille is equally as complimentary.
"He's not only my teammate, but my brother, and I can't say enough about him."
Wright came to Linfield wanting to make an impact. Based on results, together with the respect he has earned, it's obvious he has done just that, and more.

Records for Oct. 19
This is the records summary for Oct. 19.
Extra commercial vehicle
patrols start Sunday
ST. PAUL — The Minnesota State Patrol Commercial Vehicle Section is stepping up traffic enforcement activity statewide from Sunday to Oct. 26 as part of a nationwide effort to increase commercial and passenger vehicle driver awareness.
During Operation Safe Driver Week, commercial vehicle drivers can expect an increase in seat belt enforcement, driver roadside inspections and regulatory compliance. Motorists can expect stepped up traffic enforcement aimed at driving conduct near commercial vehicles.
The campaign serves as an opportunity to increase awareness to the motoring public, especially teenage and younger drivers, about safe driving practices around large trucks and buses. In addition, the State Patrol is using the week to increase awareness to commercial drivers and motorists of the dangers of distracted driving.
Last year, 395 people lost their lives in Minnesota traffic crashes. Fifty-six of the 395 deaths were the result of crashes involving commercial trucks. There were 3,789 total crashes last year involving commercial trucks, resulting in 1,178 injuries.
"Crashes involving commercial and passenger vehicles often have a life-changing effect on everyone involved," says Capt. Matt Sokol, State Patrol Commercial Vehicle Section. "We ask commercial drivers and the motoring public to protect yourself and those around you by sharing the road and avoiding distracted driving."
Motorists are advised to stay out of the "no-zone," the blind spots where a car disappears from the view of the truck driver; don't cut into a truck's space including while turning, don't tailgate; and obey all speed limits and buckle up, which is the single most important thing anyone can to do save their life in a crash.
Olivia man injured in rollover
MORTON — A 24-year-old Olivia man was injured Friday evening in a rollover accident on state Highway 19 in Morton.
According to the State Patrol report, Christopher J. Garcia was eastbound near Park Drive in a 1998 Chrysler Sebring when it rolled on a curve at about 5:40 p.m.
Garcia was transported to Redwood Falls Hospital with what are described as non-life-threatening injuries. The report says alcohol was detected and he was not wearing a seat belt.
The car was totaled.
North Ambulance and the Lower Sioux Police Department assisted at the scene as well as the Renville County Sheriff's Office.
District Court
Kandiyohi County
* Azeneth Hernandez, 18, of Willmar, pleaded guilty Thursday to an amended charge of third-degree property damage for her role in damaging an ex-boyfriend's vehicle.
As part of a plea agreement, the charge was reduced from a felony first-degree count. She will be sentenced Dec. 18.
The charge was filed after a Willmar man reported to police on June 6 that his vehicle had been damaged while it was parked in the Cash Wise Foods parking lot. Someone had used a key to gouge the paint. The man said a similar incident had happened a week earlier at the Kandi Mall. The man suspected Hernandez, whom he had previously dated.
Hernandez was interviewed and admitted to damaging the car with a friend at both the grocery store and the mall. The friend was interviewed and also admitted to the damage.
The repair estimate was $1,560.

A few years back I was sitting with friends at Joni's Coffee Roaster in Marina del Rey when the subject of Bruce Springsteen came up. When many of the people said how much they loved Springsteen's music, I asked them to name his five best songs. They were stumped. The only one anyone could think of was "Born in the USA." So I asked them to hum the melodies of some of their favorite Springsteen songs. Not one person was able to hum one melody that Springsteen wrote.
I said if somebody asked me to name my five favorite Beatles songs, it would take me a while to sift through them because I could probably come up with 50 off the top of my head. If they asked me to hum some melodies, I'd have to decide among all their melodies that waft through my head, like "Yesterday," "Let It Be," "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "Ticket to Ride"; the list would go on and on.
There is no comparison between the quality of the music written by The Beatles and the quality of the music written by Bruce Springsteen. That's proven by the band Rain, which tours the world performing a Beatles concert, with Beatles look- and sound-alikes. Thirty-five years from now does anybody think that there will be look- and sound-alikes of the E Street Band touring the world to sold-out audiences?
The concert starts with videos of the current events from the '60s, like the hula hoop, Chubby Checker's twist, and the Kennedys in the White House. It segues into the concert with Ed Sullivan introducing The Beatles on his television show in 1964, at which point the curtain rises and there are the mop top Beatles singing, "I Want to Hold Your Hand."
Performing before a packed house at the Pantages, Steve Landes, Joey Curatolo, Job Bithorn, and Ralph Castelli, play the roles of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, respectively. Landes has Lennon down cold. His stance at the microphone playing the guitar is exactly as Lennon did, and his voice is an amazing replica. The others are high quality musicians. The arrangements are identical to the Beatles' recorded performances of the songs, and the music rocks. The audience was up and down throughout the evening, clapping and singing along to the familiar songs, encouraged on by the performers, closing, naturally, with a rousing rendition of "Hey, Jude."
The concert proceeds through the several stages of The Beatles' short, seven-year life in the limelight, from mop tops to Sgt. Pepper to Abbey Road, with costumes to boot.
There is a camaraderie at these concerts. We all have something in common; we are all Beatlemaniacs. We got there early and sat in the Bar and talked with strangers about The Beatles. It was a wonderful feeling.
Last year I had press passes and sat up front. This year I wanted to experience the show as just a normal person in the audience and sat in row QQ, in the Orchestra but near the rear of the theater, under the balcony. I thought the sound was too loud, but it might have been due to the balcony over our heads because last year I don't remember it being that loud and I was much closer.
There's no way they can play the entire repertoire of Beatles music, but I was disappointed that my favorite Beatles song, "Here, There, and Everywhere" was not on the list.
I can't understand why everyone wouldn't love The Beatles' music. However, even though my friend who accompanied me is not a Beatles fan, she loved the show.

The business value of automation
WBFs Director of Strategic Industry Alliances, Rodger Jeffery, is excited about the new challenges our industry faces and suggests we regroup, reorganize, and commit to a stronger working alliance in regards to standards.
The Way Back Up
If you were in attendance at the annual "excellence in manufacturing" ARC Advisory Group conference in Orlando last month, where many senior manufacturing executives spelt it out for the engineering community, you would have heard the following mantra over and over.
"Your industry must find a way to…
- ACCELERATE & COMPRESS the development of INTEROPERABLE STANDARDS, standards that will work horizontally across, and vertically within our supply chain.
- Also give us COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTIONS that we can deploy SIMPLY and manage SIMPLY, solutions that will make us more COMPETITIVE! "
This is the way up. I doubt whether our industry's customers can cry out any louder or more explicitly than they are right now.
Coming Together
Most end-users believe that both these goals should be and could be addressed by the suppliers alone. I believe that they are correct in regards to point 2) above. However, there are some big assumptions and flaws in that conclusion in regards to point 1).
Suppliers are probably the worst group to lead the development of standards. They have too much self interest, and usually have too much of a technology legacy at stake. Standards work left to the leadership of suppliers, encourages log jams and standards work can drag on and on. There are many examples of these log jams in our history and even as we speak.
On the other hand end-users have a vested interest in getting standards work completed and in place a early as possible. This allows them to effectively adopt new technologies at a faster pace with a higher degree of success, profitability and a lower total cost of ownership.
So What is the Problem? Why Can't Suppliers Deliver?
Statistics tell us that more than 80% of all suppliers participate in Standards Work today. More importantly less than 30% of the End-Users whose revenue streams are over 1 Billion USD (and I am being generous with the percentage) participate in Standards Work. See the problem!
End-Users will never get what they want, nor as fast as they want it, until their management buys into the idea that they have to fund their employee's participation in standards work. If they don't they will continue to undermine the longer term health of their enterprise.
So If You're Willing to Buy In, How Can You Engage?
Firstly, there many work groups you can join. There is still work to do on S88 & S95. The Make2Pack work group has come along way in harmonizing the S88 and OMAC standards, but there is still more work to be done there. There is work to be done in the construction of "education modules" to help educate both basic and advanced end –users of the standards. The workgroups will take any help they can get. Especially if you are an end-user, we specifically need end-users. Please visit the following web sites and find a standards workgroup that interest you or your company and e-mail the committee chair.
Please also visit the WBF's SPINNAKER webpage. You'll see how we have affiliated ourselves to the AUTOMATION FEDERATION to ensure the work you do attains maximum impact.
Again, we need your help to invigorate and change the industry's standing. Greater numbers of End-Users have to come together with suppliers so that together they can deliver the STANDARDS at the SPEED that the industry needs. Once done then the End-Users will have every right to expect the suppliers to follow through on the SOLUTIONS.
I leave you with this thought. There is an old saying amongst engineering managers…that most engineers cost you money, some good engineers save money and a few excellent engineers make money! One by one, engineers (suppliers and end-users) have to put themselves back in the black and then become excellent engineers.
Now is the time. It is that point in history. Our customers have been clear. Their goals now spelt out. It is up to us to come together to get the job done. Carpe Diem, come together and increase our Automation industries business value.
