Blue Rose Girls
I'm sure more people read the Blue Rose Girls blog than visit my website, but if you don't check in regularly like I do, my editor Connie Hsu posted there with her thoughts on the process of making Happyface with me. See the story from the editor's side!
And check out BRG in general for lots of behind-the-scenes info from artists, writers and editors at Little, Brown. Always something interesting going on!
HAPPYFACE Book Release Party!
I had my very first book launch party this past Saturday! Once again, I stressed for about a week over something that ended up being a lot of fun and I missed when it was over.
My editor Connie and her boss Alvina came in to Connecticut from New York for the event, and we had dinner beforehand at Café Allegre, across the street from RJ Julia's. They start serving dinner at 5:30pm, and they asked me to be at the store at 6:30, so we had to rush a bit for dinner. There was ample time for talk and luckily the staff were very accommodating in getting us food and check in short time! Because two people had to cancel on the dinner, it ended up being me and a table of 7 girls. "How many of those were ex-girlfriends?†Alvina had asked. Only 2!
The weather that night was torrential. The rain was pouring, it was cold, thundering, and the wind blew my umbrella inside-out! At the time it was a big distraction but I think it adds a neat touch to the memories I'll have of the night. Some of the nearby streets had branches and small trees collapse on them and people had to find alternate routes to the event.
When we got to RJ's, I went upstairs with Connie and Alvina and a few friends and signed some pre-ordered books, paced around a bit and got nervous. I came downstairs when they were ready for me, and as I was having my mic placed, I listened in on Connie and the event coordinator Trish say some really nice words. And then I went up!
There was a good turn-out, considering the bad weather. There were 70 RSVPs, and I wasn't expecting that many people to show up, so the 40 or so that were there filled the room and gave me ample audience to work with! Trish had asked me how long I plan to speak. Seeing as I had little prepared aside from "talk about the experience of making Happyface,†I guesstimated I'd have about 10-15 minutes. Trish said usually authors go a little longer, but to just give her a queue when I'm ready to sign. When I started talking, I lost track of time completely. I was told I went for about 30 minutes. I hit all the points I wanted to make and found myself carrying on about a few things I hadn't planned on talking about, but I got laughs in the right places and there were some good questions afterward, so I think I did okay. My grandmother said I looked a little nervous because I fiddled with my water bottle, but there was nowhere good to put it down! Oh well, I'll be aware of it next time.
After my speech, I sat down at the front of the store at a yellow "happyface†inspired table. Everyone was lined up and I started signing! There were a lot of people I hadn't seen in ages there so it was hard to resist putting down my signing pen to start talking. Trish kept me on my toes though! When everyone was out, I got to pick out a book from the store to take home, free of charge! (I chose "Stitches†by David Small.)
My grandparents live nearby, so knowing family and friends were coming out, they invited anyone who wanted to come over for coffee and donuts. I was surprised at the number of people who came over, including Connie and Alvina, who got to meet a lot of my friends and family.
In all, it was a great experience, and I thank everyone who came out, and of course Connie and Alvina for making that long trek out in the pouring rain to support me and thanks to RJ Julia's for being very comforting and organized and making me feel very welcome! And not just as a CT native but as a first time author! I hope to do more there in the future!

All About Happyface
So, as I'm sure everyone in the entire universe is aware, this week saw the release of my first YA novel HAPPYFACE! Look above! Yes, there he sits on a shelf at Barnes & Noble! You would do well to purchase a copy!
I did a TV appearance on Wednesday for "Connecticut Style,†kind of a "View†for Connecticut that airs on WTNH after the news at noon. I wasn't sure what to expect – it turns out you can't ramble on about the intricacies of your novel and instead need answers that fit in a five second space. Next time I'll be better prepared, but everyone has been very kind about my appearance nonetheless.
Reviews so far for HAPPYFACE have been very positive, even getting two starred reviews so far, one from Publisher's Weekly and one from Kirkus!
Publisher's weekly states "The illustrations range from comics to more fleshed-out drawings. Just like Happyface's writing, they can be whimsical, thoughtful, boyishly sarcastic, off-the-cuff, or achingly beautiful. The best exhibit hints of all of the above.â€
The Kirkus review reads "Moving easily between cartoons and painterly black-and-white illustration, this epistolary novel of a young teen's reinvention of self is subtle and effective . . .Though the catalyst for his metamorphosis is so understated that it's possible some may miss it altogether and be a bit puzzled later in the story, this is a minor detail in an otherwise engaging and absolutely heartfelt tale.â€
The Romantic Times Book Reviews gives Happyface four stars and says "The classic nerd-becomes-cool-and-then-everything-falls-apart story meets some awesome journal sketches and a few really unexpected plot twists. An easy, fun read that tackles some tough subjects.â€
School Library Journal says "Emond tells the story via the teen's illustrated journal, authentically capturing his up-and-down emotions. The pencil-and-ink sketches, comics, and doodles, paired with a disastrously small handwriting font, lend an intimate stream-of-consciousness feel to a story by turns funny, wrenching, quirky, and redemptive."
Ignore the part about the font. It's inaccurate. The rest I stand by. :)
This coming Saturday I'll be having my first book release party at RJ Julia's in Madison, CT. If you're in the area, stop by and have a Happyface cupcake and listen to me talk!


text: Posted September 3, 2012 Becka Bulldog (Rick) walks home from Gibson Goat's Tavern through the Village Square. What's this? A xylophone! "What's this?" Becka says. "A xylophone! I love xylophones. I think I'll play it." "Look, someone's even left me some sheet music to play." Kaplooie!!! A dark figure gleefully conducts the falling keys before dashing off into the night. Let's see, who's next? Oh, yes. Portia Poodle (CorneliusMurdock) has an important job to do. How she came about getting this job is a very interesting story...but there's no time right now. We have a blood bath to get to. Let's just say that Portia has experienced the raw force of the evil spirit in the dark forest, first hand, and now she lives to fight it. She's at the house of the person she suspects the most. She lets herself in and leaves the door open behind her. "This is just like the book Harriet Slutter and the Firepants of Whacking Stump" Portia whispers to nobody in particular. "...where Harriet and her friends crash into the whacking stump with a flying PT Cruiser and end up finding a secret passage to the drooling hut, where Harriet finds the killer and saves the day!!" But the real evil spirit is one step ahead of her. And this won't end the way it did for Portia's hero, Harriet Slutter. The evil spirit sneaks in behind her... Portia curls up next to the resident of the home... ...and turns into a tree stump. "Mwhaaaaa haa haa haa har!" the evil entity laughs, turning the lights on. "I've found you!" "What's going on?" Gilbert Goat sits up in bed. But the killer has already swung its axe and removes Gilbert's head in one clean stroke. The killer jumps on the bed and chops the tree stump to bits! And that is the end of Gibson Goat (Pandora) and Portia Poodle (CorneliusMurdock). In the morning...wait, it's still dark. Oh, that's right. One more. Ernie Elephant (JimButcher) wanders, somewhat dazed, into the Village Square. He ignores the xylophone carnage and instead covers himself with a very fine powder. Then he picks up a torch and... Whoomp! goes up in flames. Ernie Elephant (JimButcher) burns to death quickly, leaving behind a charred corpse in the Village Square. The specter of Felix Fox shows up and gleefully wraps up Ernie's soul. Felix disappears in a burst of phantom flames, leaving behind an odd green flask. A dark figure sneaks out and snatches up the flask before running off into the night. Ralphy Rabbit's body, conveniently, washes up onto the river bank. The members of the Village are devastated to find more death in the Village Square in the morning. Edgar Elephant has brought what's left of his beautiful Portia Poodle while Cameron Crocodile and Gilda Goat carry the remains of their brother and friend Gibson Goat. Marcellus the Monk is ready to identify the dead with his staff. Portia Poodle (CorneliusMurdock) and Gibson Goat (Pandora) were both innocent Villagers. Becka Bulldog (Rick) was an innocent Villager. Ernie Elephant (JimButcher) was an innocent Villager. Last night's lynch, Ralphy Rabbit (badboytje88) was an innocent Villager. And on the 26th picture, the Village stands in shocked silence (some masking sheer glee!) at the body count of 5 innocent Villagers. Day Four has begun. You may not vote during the first 24 hours. Please note the new rule. Objective: The Cultists win when they have outnumbered the Villagers, including any third-parties and the Villagers win when all of the Cultists are dead. The Rules: Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either the Villagers or the Cultists. To win the game, the Villagers must kill off all of the Cultists, while the Cultists must outnumber the Villagers. Any third party player will have win conditions that are detailed in their role PM... Each day you will be able to vote to lynch a player. Voting should be done in the following format; Vote: Character (Player). Similarly, unvoting is to be done in the format; Unvote: Character (Player). No other format will be accepted. You may also proxy your vote to another player, using this format; proxy: Character (Player). Naturally, unproxying a vote is also possible. The player with the most votes is lynched. In the case of a tie, there will be no lynch. A game day will last a maximum of 72 hours. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. The day will not end when a majority vote has been reached. If there is time left, a majority vote can be over-turned. After the day has concluded, a night stage will commence, which will last a maximum of 48 hours. Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 24 hours of the night stage, or they will not be accepted, no exceptions. The alignment of lynched players, as well as those that died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the next day, barring any interference. You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to or from you in PM with the game host. This includes all the details and pictures of your character and role, as well as any night action results. Role claims and reporting of night action results are acceptable, but in your own words only. Do not attempt to use the structure of your role PM to your advantage. You may not quote PMs from other players. Paraphrasing is allowed but no direct quoting. Please refrain from quoting PMs in the game threads and in private. Do not play the game outside the thread. Similarly, do not post out of character inside the thread. Game tactics and roles may only be discussed in the game thread or via PM with other players. Private discussion is done at your own risk and should be treated as part of the game. If you are dead, you may not post in thread or discuss the game with any of the players. Any information you had becomes void, and may not be passed on. Violation of this rule will result in a multiple game suspension. If you are converted, you must accept your new affiliation. If it's proven that you gave up your new team after conversion, the whole game will be null and you will most likely not to be asked to play one of my games again. You may not edit your posts. You must post in every day thread. If you encounter a problem or have a question, please contact the host or co-host via PM. Please please please use only the confirmation PM I sent you to communicate with me. All new conversations regarding the game will be deleted. You must play on things that effect your animal (natural predators, diet, etc.) in every post. You may need to do a little research. Feel free to expand on the information your find. Be creative. (You have the first 24 hours to practice. Penalties will not be incurred on posts before voting starts) EDIT: As stated on Day Two, these violations will incur one vote per penalty. I apologize for not updating each day's rules to reflect that until now. Sowwy. Violation of the above rules will result in a penalty of one vote per every four living players (1/4 of the active players list) on the first violation and death of your character on the second. Some additional guidelines, although they are not rules that will incur penalties if you don't follow them: Metagaming is allowed. Go ahead. You all know how to identify it and how to ignore completely irrelevant information. The pictures may or may not contain clues. They most likely do not, but look all you want. Wildly speculate. It's fun. Using acronyms, especially tl;dr will cause major trouble for your character, perhaps even instant death. Roleplaying is a good thing and it is encouraged in this game and will be required at some point. So get to know your personality quirks, they've been created for a reason. You have all been sent a role PM in this format: Format: Welcome to The Forest II, a game of wit and strategy. You are playing ___, Springhaven's ___. (a little back story) (a personality quirk) Alignment: You are aligned with the Villagers/Cultists. Role: You are the ___ which gives you the Nocturnal Ability of ___. Each night you target one player and ___. Or You have no specific Nocturnal Ability. Your power is in your vote and your brain, so use both wisely. Win condition: You win when you have outnumbered the Villagers, including any third-parties Or You win when all of the Cultists are dead. Best of luck and have fun!

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to radio data transmitters and receivers in which power consumption is reduced.
2. Description of the Related Art
Nowadays, research on radio meter-reading systems for power, gas, and so forth is in progress. The radio meter-reading system enables a meter reader to measure consumption of power, gas, and so forth with a radio meter-reading apparatus from an automobile, without going to the place where the meters are installed.
A problem with the above type of conventional system is power consumption of a meter-reading apparatus while in standby mode. In other words, to activate the meter-reading apparatus by radio, the meter-reading apparatus must be standing by (That is in a condition capable of receiving radio waves). Accordingly, a receiving circuit must always be activated. However, maintaining the active state of the receiving circuit increases power consumption. For example, when a meter-reading apparatus is activated by a battery of small capacity, the power consumption of the receiving circuit severely shortens the life of the battery. In particular, since meter-reading apparatus is activated only once a month, it is not preferable that the receiving circuit consume wasted power for the remaining 29 days (or 30 days).
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide radio data transmitter and receiver activated for data transmission and reception in accordance with a radio signal, in which power consumed when the transmitter and receiver are in a standby mode is reduced to approximately zero.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, the foregoing object is achieved through the provision of a radio data transmitter comprising: radio switching means which is activated in response to a first radio signal having a predetermined particular pattern; and a data transmitter unit which is supplied with power in accordance with the activation of the radio switching means, wherein the data transmitter unit subsequently transmits a second radio signal including a carrier modulated by predetermined data from an antenna and then switches off its power.
In the radio data transmitter the radio switching means preferably includes a receiving antenna; a surface acoustic wave device to which a signal received by the receiving antenna is applied for extracting a particular pattern included in the signal; an accumulation circuit for accumulating an output power from the surface acoustic wave device; and a switching circuit which is activated when the output power from the accumulating circuit exceeds a constant value.
The surface acoustic wave device may comprise a surface acoustic wave matched filter.
The surface acoustic wave matched filter may include an Al2 O3 substrate, an AlN film formed on the Al2 O3 substrate, and an Al tapping pattern formed on the AlN film.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, the foregoing object is achieved through the provision of a radio data receiver including: switch-activation means for transmitting data having a predetermined particular pattern; receiving means for receiving a first radio signal from a data transmitter activated by the data having the predetermined particular pattern; and storage means for storing the data recieved in the second radio signal by the receiving means.
The switch-activation means may include noise code generating means for generating a pseudorandom noise code; modulation means for modulating a carrier by using the noise code to generate the first radio signal; and an antenna for radiating the first radio signal modulated by the modulation means in the air.
The above-described present invention provides radio data transmitter and receiver in which power consumed when they in a standby mode can be reduced to approximately zero.

FIG. 10 is a schematic, cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a data collector for collecting the number (data) of sold juice cans.
By referring to the attached drawings, an embodiment of a remote data retrieval system in accordance with; the present invention will be described below.
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a radio data transmitter 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows a data recorder 2 (radio data receiver) which drives the radio data transmitter 1 from a remote place and records data transmitted from the radio data transmitter 1.
The data recorder 2 shown in FIG. 2 includes a central processing unit (CPU) 3, a read-only memory (ROM) 4 for storing programs used in the CPU 3, a random access memory (RAM) 5 for temporarily storing data, a hard disk drive (HDD) 6, and a receiver unit 7 for receiving data transmitted from the radio data transmitter 1 (shown in FIG. 1). Data received by the receiver unit 7 is recorded by the hard disc drive 6. An activation circuit 8 activates a switch-activation circuit 9. The activation circuit 8 receives an activation instruction from the CPU 3 and switches on the power switch of the switch-activation circuit 9 for operation.
The switch-activation circuit 9 activates the radio data transmitter 1 by spread spectrum communication.
The switch-activation circuit 9 includes a PN code generator 9a. A PN code is a cyclic, pseudorandom noise code. Known PN code are a maximum in length sequence, a Barker sequence, a Gold sequence, and so forth. The PN code generator 9a repeatedly generates and outputs a PN code shown in FIG. 3A to a modulation circuit 9b during a predetermined period. The PN code shown in FIG. 3A is a 11-bit Barker code, and one cycle of the code is expressed as follows:
An oscillation circuit 9c generates a carrier. The waveform of the carrier is shown in FIG. 3B. The modulation circuit 9b outputs a spread modulated carrier, utilizing the PN code. The output waveform of the modulation circuit 9b is shown in FIG. 3C. The output of the modulation circuit 9b is radiated from an antenna 9e through a band-pass filter 9d.
The radio data transmitter 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a receiving antenna 11 and a surface acoustic wave (SAW) correlator 12 (SAW matched filter). FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the SAW correlator 12. The SAW correlator 12 includes a substrate 12a comprised of Al2 O3 (sapphire) and an AlN (aluminum nitride) film 12b formed on the Al2 O3 substrate by an MO-CVD method. An aluminum (Al) input pattern 12c and an Al tapping pattern 12d are formed on the AlN film 12b by an opto-lithography technique. The Al tapping pattern 12d corresponds to the above-mentioned Barker code (11100010010).
When a spread signal shown in FIG. 3C is received by the antenna 11, and is applied to the input pattern 12c of the SAW correlator 12, the applied signal becomes a surface acoustic wave, which is conducted by the surface of the SAW correlator 12 through the tapping pattern 12d. When the phase of the conducted wave motion coincides with the tapping pattern 12d, the amplitude of each wave is integrated, and a correlated peak eleven times the amplitude appears at output ends 12o of the tapping pattern 12d. In other words, as shown in FIG. 1, correlated peaks 14 appear for eleven cycles of the carrier at the output ends 12o of the SAW correlator 12. When the phase of the wave motion does not coincide with the tapping pattern 12d, the voltage across the output ends 12o is 1/11 of the correlated peak or less. The outputs of the SAW correlator 12 are inputted to an accumulation circuit 16.
The AlN-on-Al2 O3 structure shown in FIG. 4 has a propagation velocity of approximately 6000 m/second, which is 1.5 to 2 times higher than that of other piezoelectric bodies. This enables a large sized structure to be processed. In addition, the structure has a relatively large electromechanical coupling coefficient of approximately 1%. This provides a propagation period temperature coefficient of zero, so the structure is suitable for a gigahertz-band surface acoustic wave material.
As shown in FIG. 5, the accumulation circuit 16 includes a high frequency coil H comprised of a primary coil L1 and a secondary coil L2, a tank circuit T comprised of the secondary coil L2 and a capacitor C1 which are connected in parallel, a diode D for rectifying the output of the tank circuit T, a capacitor C2 for accumulating the output of the diode D, and a resistor R connected in parallel to the capacitor C2.
The resonance frequency of the tank circuit T coincides with the frequency (2 MHz) of the correlated peak waveform outputted from the SAW correlator 12. As a result, the tank circuit T accepts only correlated peak components, and sequentially accumulates the components. In FIG. 6A, the voltage between both ends of the capacitor C1 is shown. The output voltage of the tank circuit T charges the capacitor C2 via the diode D. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6B, the voltage between both ends of the capacitor C2 successively increases. The voltage of the capacitor C2 is applied to a threshold discharger 18.
A configuration of the threshold discharger 18 and the relay switch R2 is shown in FIG. 7. The threshold discharger 18 includes a Zener diode Dz and a relay switch R1 connected in series to the Zener diode Dz. The relay switch R1 consumes a small amount of power (for example, 50 mW). When the output voltage of the accumulation circuit 16 exceeds the Zener voltage of the Zener diode Dz, the Zener diode Dz is switched on to activate the relay switch R1, and a contact r1 is closed. Thereby, the voltage of the battery 20 is supplied to the relay switch R2 to be activated, so contacts r2-1 and r2-2 are closed. When the contact r2-1 is closed, the relay switch R2 is self-held. When the contact r2-2 is closed, the voltage of the battery 20 is supplied to a data transmitting unit 21 to operate.
FIG. 8 shows a block diagram of the data transmitting unit 21. The data transmitting unit 21 includes a central processing unit (CPU) 23, a read-only memory (ROM) 24, a random access memory (RAM) 25, a transmitter 26, and an interface circuit 27. In addition, a relay switch R3 has a normally closed contact r3 which is inserted in the circuit of the battery 20 as shown in FIG. 7. Power consumption of a building is always integrated by, for example, an integrating wattmeter PW, and the integrated result is outputted as digital data from an output terminal T.
When the contact r2-2 shown in FIG. 7 is closed, the output voltage of the battery 20 is supplied as a supply voltage to the data transmitting unit 21, and each unit of the data transmitting unit 21 is activated. When supplied with a voltage, the CPU 23 reads data obtained at the terminal T of the integrating wattmeter PW through the interface 27, and sends the read data to the transmitter 26. The transmitter 26 transmits the data with a carrier in the air from an antenna 26a. The transmitted signal is received and demodulated by the receiver 7 shown in FIG. 2, and is recorded by the hard disk drive 6 through the CPU 3.
The CPU 23 (shown in FIG. 8) drives the relay switch R3 via the interface 27 when the transmitter 26 terminates transmission of data. The relay switch R3 is driven, then the contact r3 (FIG. 7) is open, and the coil power supply of the relay switch R2 is switched off. Thereby, the contact r2-2 is open, so the power supply of the data transmitting unit 21 is switched (disconnected) off.
Details of one embodiment of the present invention, shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, have been described. According to this embodiment, data obtained by the integrating wattmeter PW in the building can be collected from, for example, an automobile, without going to the place where the wattmeter PW is installed. In addition, until the phase of the SAW based on the signal received by the antenna 11 (FIG. 1) completely coincides with the tapping pattern 12d of the SAW correlator 12, the data transmitting unit 21 is not activated, and thus hardly malfunctions, which advantageously realizes high reliability. Also, until the relay switch R1 is activated, the circuit of the battery 20 is completely, mechanically broken by the contacts rl, r2-1 and r2-2. Hence, leakage power is theoretically zero, which causes power consumption of the battery 20 to be zero in standby mode.
To improve sensitivity, a circuit shown in FIG. 9 may be used for the circuit shown in FIG. 7. This circuit in FIG. 9 includes a photocoupler PC comprised of a light-emitting diode Dp and a MOS phototransistor Tm, for the Zener diode Dz and the relay switch R1 in FIG. 7. According to this circuit, when the output voltage of the accumulation circuit 16 reaches the forward voltage of the light-emitting diode Dp or higher, the light-emitting diode Dp is switched on to emit light, which switches on the phototransistor Tm. Then, a relay switch R4 is activated to close contacts r4-1 and r4-2. Closing the contact r4-1 causes the self-holding of the relay switch R4. Closing the contact r4-2 causes the voltage of the battery 20 to be supplied to the data transmitting unit 21.
According to the circuit shown in FIG. 8, compared with the circuit in FIG. 7, lower output voltage of the accumulation circuit 16 can activate the relay switch R4. While the circuit in FIG. 8 is in standby mode, a leakage current flows through the relay switch R4 and the phototransistor Tm. However, the leakage current from the phototransistor Tm is 100 pA or less, thus, power consumption of the battery 20 in standby mode can be substantially reduced to approximately zero.
The above-described embodiment can be applied not only to collection of data from the integrating wattmeter PW but also to collection of sales data from, for example, an automatic vending machine of juice cans. According to the latter case, as shown in FIG. 10, for example, switches are disposed along a storage of cans C, and when each can C is stored, the switch for the storing portion is turned on. Outputs from the respective switches may be read by the CPU 23 via the interface 27 shown in FIG. 8. Instead of using the switches, by providing a passage detector to a can receiving portion and by providing a mechanical counter to a can discharging portion so that the number of cans is counted whenever a can passes through the passage detector, the counted data may be read by the CPU 23 via the interface 27.

Medical tourism is becoming an increasingly viable source of more basic health care for some of those sidelined by the insurance system in America, where 47 million people are uninsured and many millions are underinsured. Now, Americans who live along the Mexican border are driving and even walking south in search of treatment that can cost half or less of what it does in the United States, says Newsweek.
The Mexican health care option is particularly appealing for Texans because the state has such a high uninsured rate. In 2004, it was 25 percent, and along the border, the number is even higher. Incomes in the area are also low, so even when employers do offer insurance, the cost of medical premiums still may be prohibitive.
In response, American hospital chains are starting to buy into Mexico, says Newsweek:
- International Hospital Corp. in Dallas has 5 Mexican locations.
- Dallas-based CHRISTUS Health has built 6 hospitals in Mexico through its partnership with a Mexican chain.
- The procedures performed cost a third to two-thirds less than they would in America.
- Most of the doctors are Mexican with Mexican medical degrees; yet, with people coming from as far away as Alaska in search of bariatric, plastic and cardiovascular procedures, as well as knee and hip replacements, CHRISTUS hospital officials pan to start hiring more English-speaking staff, translators and concierge services.
- Additionally, insurers are looking into cross-border healthcare.
Further, there are downsides to getting serious medical treatment abroad, including the lack of information about the quality of care and the lack of access to malpractice insurance coverage. However, these concerns aren't stopping Texans who view the hospitals across the border as an affordable alternative. And for the uninsured, this might be their only option, says Newsweek.

Overall, CDC estimates that 47% of the U.S. population age 6 months and older was vaccinated during the 2014-2015 season, similar to the 2013-2014 season and up from an estimated 41% five years ago.
Larry Merlo, president and CEO of CVS Health, spoke on Friday before the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
Flu vaccination rates have remained steady overall, but rates continue to vary between age groups and among states, according to data from a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study published Thursday.
CVS Caremark and a panel of health experts explored research findings and the problem of medication nonadherence Thursday morning during CVS Caremark's first-ever national forum on medication nonadherence at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
The fact that CVS Caremark convened its first-ever national forum in an effort to battle the $300 billion problem of medication nonadherence is important on several fronts, including the simple fact that retail pharmacy deserves credit for more effectively communicating what adherence is and why it's important.

About Neversink
Neversink is a beautiful 162 foot open air pit in Jackson County Alabama. The bottom can only be reached using vertical caving skills, knowledge, and equipment to safely descend into its depths by rappelling a rope and ascending that same rope with specialty equipment to exit the cave. The bottom of Neversink is approximately 162 feet from the edge. The best way to obtain the skills needed for vertical caving is to join a local caving club or grotto of the National Speleological Society and receive hands-on training from its members.
If you do not possess the vertical caving skills or ability needed to visit the bottom, Neversink is still an impressive and unique place to visit. The long hike up the mountain is strenuous and one should be prepared with an adequate quantity of drinking water and some snacks.
Cellular telephone coverage is poor in the area so don't count on being able to call for help from the area of the pit.
History of Neversink
Long known and loved by caver explorers, the cave is considered by many to be the classic pit. It is probably the most photographed pit in TAG (Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia) due to the beautiful fern covered ledges (including some rare and endangered ferns), waterfalls, and other features. The pit is about 40 feet in diameter at the top and bells out to 100 feet in diameter at the bottom. It has been featured in countless slide shows and has been pictured in many publications.
The pit was closed in 1993 due to a change of ownership. The new owner was concerned about liability and about disturbance of the water pipe from the spring above the pit. The spring is the only reliable water supply for a home at the bottom of the mountain.
SCCi was already in negotiations to buy the pit when it was sold in 1993 to another buyer who bypassed the real estate agent. The, SCCi made contact with the new owner and entered into negotiations to buy the pit from him. After much work, an agreement was reached. SCCi began raising money to pay for the cave. At the eleventh hour the owner had second thoughts and decided to sell the land to the person using the spring. SCCi then made contact with that particular person, and was eventually able to reach a agreement to buy the cave from him in return for a guarantee of a water rights easement for the spring.
In July 1995 Southeastern Cave Conservancy signed a contract with the owner to purchase the pit. Following a survey of the property and some arrangements regarding parking and walking access, SCCi completed the purchase and took ownership on December 5, 1995. Total cost of the purchase was a little over $51,000. SCCi raised most of the money and secured a loan sufficient to complete the deal. At the 1995 TAG Fall Cave-In, SCCi kicked off a major new fund raising program for the Neversink purchase called "Buy a Piece of the Pit". The plan allowed cavers to make a contribution to the SCCi Neversink Fund and receive a Neversink t-shirt with a map of the cave and the words "I Bought A Piece of the Pit" plus an honorary certificate of ownership.
Important Information Before Visiting Neversink
Please do not use trees to rig ropes at the edge of Neversink. This activity is killing the trees. Use the two permanent rig areas that have been established. Each rigging area has two bolts. If the two rig areas are in use, the next party must wait until one of the rig areas is not in use, or return to the cave later.
NOTICE: To help prevent the spread of White Nose Syndrome (WNS) affecting bat populations, please read the SCCi Cave Visitation Policy and follow the guidelines to clean and disinfect your gear before and after visiting this cave.

ENGLAND Prime Minister David Cameron has weighed in on the Kevin Pietersen saga as the world waits for an explanation.
And former England all-rounder Ian Botham was scathing in his assessment of the ECB's treatment of the star batsman, who had his international career cut short in a shock sacking earlier this week.
Cameron hinted at a press conference that he was against the decision to axe Pietersen and that he was fond of the former South African.
"He's an amazing man - look I don't pick the England team," Cameron said.
"I've had some of my most enjoyable times in watching him tonking the ball all over the park, and a really great moments for me was when he scored a century for England against India and I was allowed to go into the dressing room with the players."
"But I'll let the England selectors pick the England team - I think I better stay out of this one."
Botham wasn't quite so restrained as he and the English press continued to demand answers - yet receive none - as to why Pietersen was the only player given the flick after the team's horror summer in Australia.
"I'm baffled, exasperated and disgusted the England and Wales Cricket Board think they can get rid of Kevin Pietersen, issue a statement full of corporate waffle, and hope everyone will forget about it," Botham wrote in The Mirror.
"Well, I've got news for the amateur comedians who run the ECB. We want answers, the truth. We want detailed, precise reasons behind their decision to end Pietersen's international career."
"Down the years, faceless men at Lord's have had plenty of practice at making themselves look stupid, but they can't pull the wool over our eyes this time.
"Their handling of KP's dismissal has been pathetic, and they need to grow some balls and brain cells instead of treating the public as mugs."
Cameron and Botham's comments come after national selector James Whitaker refused to reveal why Pietersen's international career had been cut short, citing legal reasons.
Whitaker, in his first public appearance since replacing Geoff Miller as England's selection supremo, was the first member of the England and Wales Cricket Board hierarchy to comment since a carefully-worded statement issued on Tuesday signalled the end of star batsman Pietersen's time in the international game.
The intervening 48 hours had seen the ECB widely criticised for failing to provide a specific reason as to why Pietersen, England's leading run scorer across all international formats, had been jettisoned.
That left a statement which spoke of a need "to rebuild not only the team but also the team ethic and philosophy" after England's 5-0 Ashes series thrashing in Australia.
Whitaker, asked about Pietersen's England exile, told Sky Sports: "That is a legal position and at the moment I'm not at liberty to say."
Whitaker's mobile phone then appeared to ring and the interview was briefly halted.
But when it resumed, he added: "Unfortunately I'm not in a position to reiterate what reasons there have been."
Thursday saw Whitaker announce England's first 'post-Pietersen' squads for the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh and the preceding limited overs series in the West Indies.
"The one-day international team and the England Twenty20 team has played a number of matches over the last 12 months or so without Kevin and, on occasion, performed very well, and I would hope that's the case going forward," said former batsman Whitaker, a 'one Test wonder' against Australia in 1986.
"It's still a surprise going to an ICC competition without one of your leading run-scorers but the players and management are well rehearsed in coping without him.
"What I can say is this is a group of players who can look forward to re-energising the team going forward with different values, (to) re-evaluate the culture of the team.
"England, over the last four or five years, have shown these good values.
"Over time they can dissipate a little but now is a good time to rewrite those values."
Uncapped duo Moeen Ali and Stephen Parry were included in a 15-man group for both events, while fellow newcomer Harry Gurney will head to the West Indies.
The only time England have won a major limited overs international trophy was when, with Pietersen playing a leading role, they triumphed at the 2010 World Twenty20 in the Caribbean.
England tour squad for the West Indies:
Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire, capt), Eoin Morgan (Middlesex), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Ravi Bopara (Essex), Tim Bresnan (Yorkshire), Jos Buttler (Lancashire, wkt), Jade Dernbach (Surrey), Harry Gurney (Nottinghamshire), Alex Hales (Nottinghamshire), Chris Jordan (Sussex), Michael Lumb (Nottinghamshire), Stephen Parry (Lancashire), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Ben Stokes (Durham), James Tredwell (Kent), Luke Wright (Sussex)

If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living.
LUCIUS ANNAEUS SENECA, Epistles
A good mind is a lord of a kingdom.
SENECA, Thyestes
As long as you live, keep learning how to live.
SENECA, Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales
Mercy often inflicts death.
SENECA, Troades
Take away ambition and vanity, and where will be your heroes and patriots?
SENECA, attributed, Day's Collacon
If anger is not restrained, it is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.
There is nothing so wretched and foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness to expect evil before it arrives.
That loss is most discreditable which is caused by negligence.
SENECA, attributed, Cassell's Book of Quotations, Proverbs and Household Words
Loyalty that is bought with money, may be overcome by money.
The most miserable mortals are they that deliver themselves up to their palates, or to their lusts; the pleasure is short, and turns presently nauseous, and the end of it is either shame or repentance.
Lightning will wreck its displeasures not only upon pillars, trees, and sheep, but upon altars and temples, and let the sacrilegious go free.
If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.
SENECA, Seneca's Morals
He only is anxious about the future, to whom the present is unprofitable.
Luck knows no limits.
SENECA, Oedipus
Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.
We live as it were by chance, and by chance we are governed.
Associate with people who are likely to improve you.
SENECA, Letters
He who is brave is free.
One who daily puts the finishing touches on his life is never in want of time.
He whose daily life has been a rounded whole, is easy in his mind.
Loyalty gives traitors opportunity.
Those who live for hope alone find that the immediate future always slips from their grasp.
Those with false fears deserve real ones.
Difficulties strengthen the mind as labor does the body.
A cruel reign is disordered and hidden in darkness, and while all shake with terror at the sudden explosions, not even he who caused all this disturbance escapes unharmed.
SENECA, "On Clemency", Minor Dialogues: Together with the Dialogue on Clemency
The surest way for those who want to rule is praising moderation, talking of peace and quiet.
There are many diversities of vice; but it is one never-failing effect of it, to live displeased and discontented.
SENECA, attributed, Encyclopædia of Quotations: A Treasury of Wisdom, Wit and Humor, Odd Comparisons and Proverbs
Examine each individual, and consider the whole world, and you will find that there is no man's life that is not aiming at tomorrow.
No one has had gods so favourable to him that he can promise himself a morrow.
Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other; yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively; strive to get clear notions about all; give up no science entirely, for science is but one.
He who is everywhere is nowhere.
SENECA, Epistolae Ad Lucilium
Leave in concealment what has long been concealed.
If thou would estimate thyself, put away wealth, land, honors; scrutinize thyself within.
Silence is learned by the many misfortunes of life.
Light sorrows speak, but deeper ones are dumb.
SENECA, Hippolytus
Shame may restrain what law does not prohibit.
There is no easy way from the earth to the stars.
LUCIUS ANNAEUS SENECA, Hercules Furens
Neither was a law able to be imposed on the falling rain, that they should not water and overflow the fields of the wicked and unjust.
That man is a weakling and a degenerate who struggles and maligns the order of the universe and would rather reform the gods than reform himself.
SENECA, Letters from a Stoic
Reputation is a great inheritance.
He always reflects concerning the quality, and not the quantity, of his life. As soon as there are many events in his life that give him trouble and disturb his peace of mind, he sets himself free.
LUCIUS ANNAEUS SENECA, Moral letters to Lucilius
Retirement without study is death, and the grave of a living man.
Respect of parents curbs the spirit and restrains vices.
If we do not watch, we lose our opportunities; if we do not make haste, we are left behind.
No evil propensity of the human heart is so powerful that it may not be subdued by discipline.

Hi David, thanks for answering, but what I meant was that if I wished to look for another package that, as just like the case of pine, DOESN'T have a binary version due to license restrictions or anything else, I couldn't. Or at least up to now I don't know how to work it out. Another example could be the IDEA ciphering algorithm. GnuPG doesn't consider this algorithm because of patent restrictions. The point is that in some countries the patent doesn't apply, and at GnuPG web site you can download the source of the plugin, compile and install. And the question remains, how am I suppose to know whether this IDEA plugin is available (like pine) to be downloaded and installed via apt-get source? Regards, Bruno.

Around the age of 15, Scacchi moved with her family to Australia, where she held a series of odd jobs; among the most unique were cowgirl and Italian interpreter. Two years later, Scacchi moved back to London in hopes of establishing an acting career for herself. Her first step was training at the prestigious Old Vic Theatre, to the displeasure of her father, who, by that point, had become estranged from the family. Before long, Scacchi began appearing in small stage productions and commercials, which were enough to snare the attention of filmmaker Dominik Graf, who cast her in the 1982 German thriller Das Zweite Gesicht. Scacchi learned to speak German strictly for the role.For nearly eight years, Scacchi performed almost exclusively for British stage and television productions, though, particularly after her 1984 portrayal of the title role in the TV-movie version of Camille, she was slowly building a fan following within the U.S. It was her role in a modernized Chekhov play, however, that would earn her attention from Hollywood. Her first American film was Presumed Innocent (1990), in which she portrayed the seductive attorney whose liaison with the married Harrison Ford precipitates her rather nasty murder. Two years later, Scacchi could be found at her seductive best opposite Tim Robbins in director Robert Altman's showbiz comedy The Player; she would star in a similarly themed film 11 years later (Henry Jaglom's Festival in Cannes).Despite her success on the big screen, Scacchi continued her work on television rather than pursuing a full-time film career, partly because it provided more opportunities to perform in classic roles -- in addition to co-starring in productions of Macbeth and The Odyssey, the young actress won an Emmy for her performance alongside Ian McKellen and Alan Rickman in Rasputin (1996). Her film roles were generally met with praise; in Emma (1996), Scacchi was held in very high esteem by both critics and co-star Gwyneth Paltrow, though her most significant role came in the film The Red Violin (1998). The Canadian-Italian production was a surprise success, and Scacchi's portrayal of a novelist embroiled in an affair with a British composer (Jason Flemyng) certainly contributed to film's numerous Genie awards (a highly prestigious Canadian film honor) and its Golden Globe win for Best Foreign Film. In 1999, Scacchi appeared in a unique film that took place entirely inside a women's bathroom (the aptly titled Ladies Room), which also featured Lorraine Bracco and John Malkovich. Scacchi continued her international acting career in 2004, when she starred in both Baltic Storm and Sotto Falso Nome.

GAA has little to learn from rugby
Two articles which appeared in last week's Sunday Independent sports section deserve comment.
Columnist John Greene quotes Kerry football manager Jack O'Connor, who claims nobody will go to watch Gaelic football if the game is not speeded up. Jack must still be in a state of shock after the Dubs plundered the All-Ireland title from the Kingdom so he decides to vent his anger at the game itself.
Having been involved in Gaelic games myself for over 50 years, I thought the games not involving Donegal provided very good fare in 2011 with many, many thousands paying to watch them. Jack's argument loses all credibility when he makes the following statement: "Rugby has done everything with its laws to speed up the game and it has worked".
In the totally over-hyped game of rugby, every scrum has to be reset two, three and even four times while the referee explains the rules to the grossly overweight players forming the scrum. When the ball eventually emerges from this mass of bodies, it is invariably kicked aimlessly upfield or kicked up into the stand.
In a game last week involving Munster the ball remained in practically the same spot for over six minutes and in another game prior to that the Munster forwards spent another six minutes rooting for the ball on the ground before passing it to the only player who could kick the bloody thing. My dear Jack, Gaelic football is not perfect but it has nothing to learn from this awful spectacle.
In another article, rugby columnist Neil Francis writes a lengthy defence of the loutish and drunken behaviour of the English rugby captain and some of his team-mates.
The following is an extraordinary excerpt from the article. "Alcohol has a traditional intrinsic and cultural association with the game of rugby union. It is strongly linked to the constituent fabric of the game and its social outer connections. It is not a coincidence that Guinness and Heineken have cultivated the association. Despite their best efforts, a lot of rugby players do not enjoy the product responsibly."
A couple of years ago, Irish rugby coach Declan Kidney complained about a 2.0pm kick-off for an international match because, he said, the Irish supporters would not have time to get 'warmed up'.
Who will forget the occasion when the rugby people got the law of the land changed to facilitate the playing of a Munster game on Good Friday?
I do not think the GAA has anything to learn from the game of rugby, either on or off the field

TG4 tied down by digital constraints
I have been reading with interest over the past two Sundays the views of Messrs Murphy, Miles, Monaghan and McGinty regarding the rugby coverage of TG4.
From what I can gather, there are two separate views regarding the said coverage.
Richard, Ronan and David [Nov 27] seem to be of the opinion that TG4 should provide a dual broadcasting service for the rugby games that they show, much in the same way that S4C in Wales do, ie a commentary is available in both Welsh and English. I would have no problem with a commentary in both Irish and English by TG4 for those who cannot understand the native tongue whatsoever.
Unfortunately, though, comparing TG4 and S4C is a bit like comparing apples and oranges. Yes, they are both fruits but both are completely different in terms of what they can actually provide. S4C can provide the multilingual service it does because S4C is a digital channel and hence they have a red button capability (like BBC and Sky). TG4 is not yet a digital channel but is an analogue UHF channel so therefore cannot provide two commentaries in two separate languages. I am quite sure TG4 would be more than willing to provide an English commentary with an Irish one but until the Irish terrestrial channels go digital, TG4 will have no choice but to continue to broadcast their coverage in Irish as it is the core language of the channel.
On the other hand, Patrick [Dec 4] just seems to have a problem with Irish to such an extent he cannot even watch matches that are broadcast through that medium. Even turning down the sound on the television is of little use as he quickly loses interest. I'm afraid I have no quick solution to this problem. The only one that comes to mind would be for him to lobby his local TD to fast-track a digital TV service in Ireland.
It must also be remembered that TG4 won their rugby rights in a fair process and now all Pro 12 televised games in Ireland are available to view free-to-air. Before the current RTE/TG4 contract, Pro 12 games, or Magners League games as they were then known, were broadcast on Setanta Sports which was most definitely not free-to-air.

Metabolic reaction network approach for CHO modelling culture
Tutor / director / avaluadorChotteau, Veronique
Tipus de documentProjecte/Treball Final de Carrera
Condicions d'accésAccés obert
Animal cell culture has provided several beneficial improvements in the field of biotechnology. Nowadays, the engineers have focused their work in the optimization of cell cultures techniques. One important tool used is the simulation by computer since it is inexpensive, requires less time than other methods and it is a simple way of understanding the behaviour of the cells in a culture. This Thesis worked in the design of one simulator that describe the evolution over time of the extracellular metabolites and cell growth of CHO culture. A model that was designed using the concept of metabolic reaction network and the assumption of pseudo-steady state was checked and validated using diverse set of experimental data. In order to trigger different metabolic routes in the cells, these experiments were carried out varying amino acid composition in the medium. The metabolic reaction network was simplified and consisted in 38 reactions. The set of experimental data was simulated using a graphical interface design in the present Thesis. The model succeeded since the results were very satisfactory. The error was, in general, small and it was checked that the system could also detect the different metabolic pathways that the cells follow when the initial conditions are modified in many metabolites. The model can also be applied without the information of all the essential amino acids, obtaining highly satisfying results as well.

If you've driven around Ahwatukee, I'm sure you've seen the newest political signs of the mayoral election. As he struggles in the polls, Wes Gullett has resorted to the last tool in his political toolbox: Misleading Phoenix voters. His newest signs, that read: "Taxpayers Support Wes Gullett" are an obvious reactionary measure to the surging candidacy of Greg Stanton, and the message couldn't be farther from the truth.
Stanton is the only candidate in this race who has experience making the tough choices to balance city budgets. While on the City Council, he balanced nine budgets, and ran the most efficient City Council office, with the smallest budget. While Gullett tries to frame himself as a fiscal conservative, he proposes a pension plan that will cost taxpayers more money, and has made dozens of campaign promises without any details as to how he is going to pay for them.
Phoenix's next mayor cannot be someone who has a record of saying one thing and doing another. Phoenix voters deserve better than misleading signs and political games. Gullett may live in a fantasy world, but this taxpayer isn't buying it. I'm supporting Greg Stanton.

Urijah Faber just can't win the big one.
Dominick Cruz outboxed, outhustled and outclassed Faber, winning a unanimous decision at UFC 199 in Inglewood, California on Saturday. Cruz won the fight by unanimous decision, 50-45, 50-45, 49-46.
Cruz controlled the fight with his boxing, changing the tone with a big left hand that knocked Faber down. After the knockdown, Cruz controlled the fight with his superior boxing, avoiding taking the fight to the ground. Faber was rattled by the punch, and chose not to shoot for the takedown and put himself in a position for a submission.
Cruz said he was not surprised by the outcome.
"I am just glad I am here," Cruz said. "I am so glad I am able to compete again. I thought I lost this at one point."
Cruz battled back from two torn ACL's on two different legs to win the title last year from T.J. Dillashaw.
Faber showed respect for Cruz in his post-fight interview.
"He's a heavy hitter," Faber said. "He's got some real talent."
Cruz controlled the fight throughout, taking Faber down less than a minute into the fight. They grappled and Cruz landed a right hand to slow Faber down.
The fight changed in Round 2 when Cruz caught Faber with a vicious left hand that sent Faber crashing to the mat on his back. Faber survived, but he was never the same. He was tentative and unsure the rest of the rounds and never committed himself to a takedown attempt.
Cruz was content turning the fight into a boxing match, dancing and throwing combinations. Faber was content eating punches, just trying to avoid the finish.
Faber landed a right hand in Round 5 to Cruz's neck, but the punch did little damage. It was Faber's last effort and Cruz controlled the rest of the fight from the standup.

Setting up a secondary mail server in Post.Office is very similar to the way you would set up 'sendmail' to do the same thing.
In sendmail, you would edit the relay-domains file to include the domains for whom you want act as as secondary mail server. These domains would not be included in the local-host-names.
So, in Post.Office, what you want to do is to accept the mail to selected domains, but not to try to deliver it locally. You will essentially be relaying this mail.
Make sure that in the "Restrict Relay Settings" you add the domains for which you want to act as a secondary:
If relay mail is restricted as specified above, use the following delivery options:Allow delivery toCheck: Additional DomainsThen list all of the domain names and host names, for example:mail.tenon.comtenon.com
You will also need to make sure to configure the proper MX records. The secondary mail server should have a lower priority (higher number) than the primary in each of the domains that will be hosted.

i recently made a somewhat simple transformation of my two patio tables to use as one. as always, i started a search at the beginning of the summer for a large patio table, only to be disappointed (or just couldn't afford). since our dining area is relatively small, i thought why not get a larger table for our large patio, something we could use throughout the summer and warmer months. we have 6 chairs, so a large table would have fit comfortably.
unfortunately, any decent outdoor table that I wanted, cost in excess of $700+. ouch! since that's not really something we can afford right now, i took our two smaller tables that we used on our patio and moved them up together to make one, longer larger table instead. the only downside was since they're both metal tables, they were both in pretty bad shape. one of them had a large area of rust on the top surface, while the other one was peeling pretty badly, making dinners quite a challenge.
after a trip to the hardware store this weekend, i bought some all-weather paint and varnish and voila! a new transformation on our patio. i only wish I would have taken before pictures along with the after, but by the time I thought about it, it was too late. it was a much more cost effective solution for our patio, than buying brand new. and of course, it's the green way to go, as well!
