Upholding Tugendhat J's judgment in Vidal-Hall et al -v- Google (2014), the Court of Appeal has confirmed that (1) misuse of private information is a distinct tort and (2) claimants may recover damages under the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) for non-pecuniary loss.
Misuse of private information
This decision is significant as it confirms that breach of confidence and misuse of personal information are distinct causes of action. Claimants will no longer be constricted by the requirement, when making a claim for breach of confidence, to demonstrate that a relationship importing an obligation of confidence with the data controller exists.
'Damage' in section 13 DPA
Any claimant bringing a claim in circumstances where their personal data has been compromised would invariably find it difficult to demonstrate that they have suffered a financial loss. The Court of Appeal has, however, held that the term 'damage' under the DPA should be interpreted broadly. This confers a right to compensation for non-material damage, thereby removing what has to date been perhaps the most arduous hurdle for any claimant looking to bring a claim for invasion of privacy.
In reaching this decision, the Court of Appeal has essentially brought forward one of the key provisions of the EU's much vaunted draft 'General Data Protection Regulation', which is still at least a year away from being incorporated into national law. Any new tort is big news and, coupled with an expansive interpretation of 'damage' under the DPA, suggests that the landscape of privacy liability has entered a new era. Insurers are potentially going to see a rise in the number of claims made under privacy liability insuring clauses and maybe even a marked increase in demand for cyber products.

Candidates split on wind power tax credit
GRAND FORKS -- The Democratic candidate for North Dakota's seat in the U.S. House of Representatives is using a subsidy for wind power to distinguish herself from her opponent.
"My opponent is on the wrong side of the issue," said Pam Gulleson, referring to her rival, Kevin Cramer, on Friday.
The federal production tax credit gives a 2-cent credit to energy producers for every kilowatt hour of renewable energy produced, and it is scheduled to expire at the end of 2013 unless Congress renews it.
Uncertainty over its future was blamed by LM Wind Power in the company's announcement Wednesday that it was laying off more than 300 workers in Grand Forks. Minnesota's Otter Tail Corp. also cited the pending expiration in its decision to sell off its wind tower production business, DMI Industries. A Texas company has since purchased DMI's West Fargo production facility, but has not explained what will happen to the plant's 216 jobs.
According to Gulleson, an extension of the tax credit would have provided certainty to manufacturers that demand for blades and towers would continue.
"People are losing their jobs because Congress failed to extend the Production Tax Credit," Gulleson said. "These are really important jobs. They are strong jobs."
The tax credit has bipartisan support among North Dakota politicians, but not universal, with Cramer opposing, citing the need for fiscal responsibility.
"I've been pretty clear that I don't intend to support extension of the tax credit," Cramer said Friday.
He said Congress in 2007 passed a five-year extension for the credit, which was created in 1992, and made it clear to the industry that its 2013 expiration would be final. The industry has had strong growth since the last extension, which he supported, but it has not prepared to function without the support.
Cramer acknowledges the job losses linked to the expiration but said North Dakota's economy is strong enough to absorb them. The national debt should be a bigger concern than support for the wind industry, he said.
"Is that really the appropriate role for our government, to subsidize jobs when we have a $16 trillion debt?" he said.
Cramer's stance diverges from other North Dakota politicians. Current House member Rick Berg, R-N.D., has co-sponsored a bill that would extend the credit through 2016. Berg's opponent for the U.S. Senate, Heidi Heitkamp, also supports an extension.
Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., also favors a two- or four-year extension to give it time to become self-sustaining, said spokesman Don Canton.
Gulleson said Cramer's opposition put him closer to the "extreme arm" of the Republicans in Congress than to other North Dakota politicians.
"They don't see (wind) as part of our energy future," Gulleson said. Renewing the credit "should be some of the first work of the new Congress," she said.

New embroidery
So far the embroidery is quite easy to do and I really like the colours and the pattern. I would actually say that this is my best piece to date. My plan for the embroidery is to make a small purse for my new 14th century outfit which I´m going to make soon.
The wool that I use is dyed with madder, indigo and tansy.

Thanks for the compliments :0)
This type of embroidery is quite easy. You only have to count threads in the fabric and use the patterns that you find on this website http://www.wymarc.com/. Here you can also read about this type of medieval embroidery. So visit a local embroidery shop or crafts shop and get started.
I can realy recommend this pattern - it is real easy to stitch and you make good progress fast.I have already made twice as much as there is on the picture so hopefully there is going to be a new purse in the end of this month.

This is a divisional of application Ser. No. 07/858,007 filed Mar. 29, 1992 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,269,216.
This invention relates to a process for processing perishable meat products, such as a piece of ham or shoulder meat, which having sustained deboning, additives and/or ingredients injecting (auxiliary to namely coloration and taste), tenderizing, massing and curing operations, is later on submitted to a cooking-pasteurization stage, inside a rigid or semi-rigid mold protected by a continuous (open bag) wrapping, at room temperature or in vacuum, after which stage it is demolded and taken apart from that wrapping to eliminate fluids exuded during the cooking-pasteurization process and for a suitable conditioning of the product surface, being finally repacked, advantageously in vacuum in tightly sealed conditions by means of different sealing means (stapling, heat-sealing etc.).
The above procedure is mainly used to obtain high quality products, in which an exudation during the cooking-pasteurization stage is sought, in order to achieve a best development of flavor and aroma. The fact that it is not necessary to prevent the juice exudation during the cooking-pasteurization, also means a lesser mechanical treatment of the meat piece during the process, which will allow to obtain a product with a best appearance, similar to the one obtained through craftsmanship.
On the other hand eliminating the juices is essential, mainly for suitable preservation of the packed product.
Bearing in mind that after meat product cooking-pasteurization and when opening the wrapping (bag), unavoidable product surface recontamination arises, after the final repacking a pasteurization or sterilization stage is required for correct preservation of the product. In this point, the further product heating once its final packing is achieved, was up to now the most used method to significantly extend the preservation of the cooked-pasteurized products, without requiring to have recourse to other treatments, such as chemical or radiations after final packing.
For such purpose, up to this time, several equipments were developed which generally include a great volume and high cost, with dilated operative times.
We can mention, namely, the use of autoclaves of nonstop operation. One equipment existing in the market includes three columns arranged one after the other for the heating-sterilization-cooling stages. The molds are automatically entered inside containing devices which passes conveyed by conveying means through said columns, the sterilizing medium being a vapor and air mixture, depending on the case.
Another autoclave of the above type includes a horizontally positioned boiler in which the containers enter through a conveying chain and a gate, either or not submitted to a rotary movement, to be pre-heated, sterilized and pre-cooled. Later on, and already outside the boiler, they finish their cooling without pressure. The sterilizing medium is water or a vapor and air mixture.
An alternative equipment includes an oven in which the products are introduced and which, after a certain period of time of heat contribution and further cooling, is unloaded. This process makes continuous work difficult, as it demands loading and unloading operations of the working premise.
As can be seen, the above processes all require in addition to a long heating time, necessarily a significant cooling time.
On the other hand, the sterilization or pasteurization stage, in addition to the above drawbacks, and mainly due to the long time of process with heat contribution, produces in a number of cases an impairment of the meat piece surface color by degrading the meat pigment, modifying therefore the appearance of the end product obtained.
An object of the invention is to provide a process which produces a significant decrease of the process time with respect to the state of the art disclosed, and a guaranty of a long packed product (meat piece) preservation time, due to an effective elimination of the microbial flora from the product recontaminated area, once the post-cooking pasteurization stage to eliminate exudate and condition the surface of said meat piece is ended, with an utmost preservation of the organoleptic properties of the product involved.
The operative conditions of the procedure disclosed allows in addition that the plant has a smaller and less complex volume, and makes possible a nonstop treatment which encompasses the product sterilization and final packing under aseptic conditions.
The invention is based applying a HTST (high temperature short time) sterilization technique, i.e. it consists in producing a high temperature thermal shock (of at least 100-160 degrees C.), of a very short duration, to which the whole product surface is submitted after the re-conditioning stage (meat piece exudate elimination and surface conditioning) after the post-cooking-pasteurization stage, and which is followed by a final vacuum or (controlled) modified atmosphere packing, in aseptic conditions, all being achieved in a nonstop process.
The heat exchange process associated with the HTST sterilization technique because of the nature of the equipment used was only applied up to now to liquids or to liquids which contained small particles. When the size of the particles is over a few mm the effectiveness of the sterilization method is lost as the particle thermal center is not reached, in addition to requiring complicated product conveying means through the treatment area.
However, in accordance with the process of this invention, the HTST technique, has been found applicable and effective for meat pieces. Submitting them previously to a cooking-pasteurizing i.e. it can be used in the mentioned re-packing stage, preceding the properly called packing which would be achieved later on in aseptic conditions, because in the mentioned prior reconditioning stage (meat piece exudate elimination and surface conditioning), only a superficial contamination will occur, i.e. limited to the stratum immediately close to the external face of the meat piece. This way, a HTST technique treatment, is useful and feasible, as it fully affects the product external layer, achieving, in addition a much more effective result as for microorganisms impairment and/or growth inhibition thereof, than the one resulting from applying the traditional heat contribution techniques with the meat piece located inside a tightly closed packing, obtaining a self-stable product fit for a longer duration preservation than that provided by traditional techniques and procedures and with a minimum organoleptic degradation.
In addition, as the high temperature thermal treatment, according to the HTST technique, only affects the meat piece surface layer or stratum, cooling the piece will occur faster, allowing the machine to operate in a nonstop manner to the product final packing, in aseptic conditions.
Therefore, the procedure disclosed consists basically in the following steps:
a) meat piece pasteurization by cooking inside rigid or semi rigid molds or containers, advantageously protected by a wrapping means, open or closed, until it reaches a temperature in the thermal center of the meat piece of 65 to 75 Degrees C., and during an interval of time sufficient for a suitable pasteurization of the product which guaranties heating effects (value F 10°-70° C.) over 30 measured at the piece thermal center;
b) withdrawal of the pasteurization meat piece from its wrapping means, exuded fluids elimination and product external surface conditioning;
c) sterilization of the meat piece surface layer or stratum, submitting it to a thermal shock of high temperature during a very short interval, in accordance with a HTST technique (high temperature short time) operating in room temperature conditions directly at contact with the meat piece surface over 100° C. and the time of treatment by piece being under 15 second;
d) product re-packing in aseptic conditions, c) and d) being carried out by automatic equipment nonstop, without organoleptic and nutritious conditions impairment.
The machine for performing operations; c) and d) above according to the invention includes:
means to introduce, at least, a meat piece, after sustaining above treatments, inside a first station for surface sterilization, the first station including a chamber that can be tightly closed;
means for taking, holding in a stable position inside the first station, and releasing the meat piece;
means for tight sealing of the chamber of the first station, once the meat piece has been introduced therein, and for opening the chamber after a pre-set time required for a meat piece surface sterilization;
means for providing heat inside the enclosure of the first station, in position of tight sealing, until the internal atmosphere reaches an average temperature ranging from 100 to 160 degrees C., with an interval of treatment time below 15 seconds;
means to withdraw the sterilized meat piece from inside the station of the first treatment chamber, and to transfer the piece to a second station for the wrapping thereof where it is placed in a pre-set position;
means for sequentially positioning tubular containers such as bags, from a storage area thereof, up to a position in the second station in which its inlet remains adjacent and facing the meat piece position in the second station;
means for opening the inlet of the tubular container and keeping it open, and fixing, at least two walls of the bag;
means to transfer by pushing the meat pieces inside the containers with their inlets open;
means to grip the filled containers, with their inlets still open and to move them, in the attained conditions up to a third station for vacuum sealing thereof;
the three stations and the entire means remaining located except the meat piece entering means to the first station, inside a wrapping enclosure provided with an ultrafiltrate air impulsion module, constituting a laminar upright flow chamber, to guaranty the asepsis of the atmosphere in which the operations are carried out, and the means being synchronized for a sequential cyclic performance of the operations in the different stations;

Referring to above figures, and namely FIG. 2, the machine used for carrying out the process of the invention comprises essentially three stations: sterilizing station 1, a bag filling station 2, and a sealing station 3 for the bags including a meat piece.
At both sides of the first station 1 there exists units to enter the meat piece inside the station, and for withdrawing it, respectively, generally designated with the letters E and O, which essentially comprise frames 4a, 4b and a movable supporting floor 5a, 5b formed by a plurality of strips 6a, 6b linked to a conveying truck constituted by a transversal joist 7, side plates 8 supporting wheels 9 which surround horizontal guides 10, fixed to frames 4a and 4b, respectively. Said joist 7 has an inverted U shaped cross-section, and inside such U wheels 11 are arranged, linked to a T-shaped support 12 which is fixed by one of its ends by a C-shaped part 13 to a link 14 of a chain 15, which extends between two coplanar toothed wheels 16 and 17, one of them driven and the other controlled by a motoreducer 18. Each strip set 6 remains locked, by one of its ends, to respective joist 7 and is supported, by its other end on a support 19 fixed by a strut 20 to the frame 4a, 4b, said support including guides 21.
Said sets E and O remain linked to the central station by rigid locking plates 22 in order to guaranty a suitable aligning of the strips to allow them to interpenetrate with respect to a grid 23 of strips installed inside the chamber of station 1.
The set O, has as single difference from set E that enters the meat piece, in that, as shown in FIG. 6 and detail 6A, the strips 6b have offset areas 24 to lodge cylinders 25 ending in shafts 26 which are socketed in end notches 27 of each offset, allowing its free rotation, so forming a rotatable floor.
First station 1 comprises a bedframe 28 on which is defined a receptacle including a fixed disc 29 as the bottom, with a basin 29a on its periphery and a circumferential groove 30 close to its edge where a sealing gasket 31 is (see FIG. 10). The disc 29 is surrounded by a ring 32 of C-shaped section inwardly oriented, rotatably movable, whose annular ribs loosely clasp the periphery of disc 29 and having a series of equally spaced cutouts 33, equivalent to those 29b existing on disc 29, to allow its positioning, ring 32 resting (see FIGS. 10 and 10A) on a set of wheels 34a 34b, which are mounted on a support 35 integral with the bedframe 28. Ring 32 is linked to an hydraulic cylinder 36 with its body locked to the bedframe 28 and its stem linked to the ring 32 external side wall.
Above the bottom 29 there exists a supporting floor for the meat piece, formed by a grid 23 (see FIGS. 3,6 and 8) whose bars are locked to two cross sectional profiles 37 which in turn remain linked to both pairs of stems 38 guided by sockets 39 fixed on a basin-shaped center portion 29a of the disc 29. The stems 38 are joined to each other, in pairs, by means of profiles 40 which, in turn, remain linked by a cross sectional profile 41 (see FIG. 13) forming an H which remains joined to a stem of a fluid dynamic actuator 42 with an upright stem.
Integral with the bottom 29 of the receptacle there exists three other cross sectional profiles 44 whereon are arranged U-shaped profile parts 44, of a low friction coefficient material such as Teflon, acting as guides for strips 6a and 6b of the entering and extracting floors 5a and 5b.
First station 1 comprises an upper plate 45 which is topped at its center portion by a double-dome-shaped covering part 46. The plate 45 is integral with two upright stems 47, which in turn are guided by sets of pulleys 48 mounted on supports 49 integral with joists 50 of the bedframe 28. The stems 47 are joined at their lower parts by a bar 51 which is connected to a second fluid dynamic actuator element 52.
The plate 45 has a series of peripheral cut outs 45a equivalent to cut outs 29b on the periphery of the fixed disc 29, and on the protruding ribs there is, detachably locked by their two faces, wedge-shaped in circumference segment parts 54 which correspond to wedge-shaped profiles 55 defined on the internal higher and lower faces, of the C-shaped profile of the surrounding ring 32.
On the other side, the means to provide heat inside the chamber of first station 1 comprise nozzles 56a and 56b to supply and suck high temperature and pressure vapor.
Second station 2 (see FIG. 11) comprises a tilting head 57 by means of arms 58 rotatably articulated and driven by fluid dynamic cylinder 59. Head 57 includes an overhanging plane 60 provided with a series of sucking pads 61 to grip at least two bags 65 each time, from a warehouse 62 of stacked bags 65, and for moving them onto horizontal floor 63, wherein there exists a transversal slot 64 (see FIG. 3) associated with vacuum generating means to retain a second face, opposite to the first one, of the bag 65 and blades 66 and 67 to lock the side parts and the lower edge of the bag inlet superposed on the table 63, which remains coplanar with the supporting floor 5b of the meat piece withdrawing means.
Tilting head 57 comprises a fluid dynamic actuator 57a providing a vertical displacement, in order to take the bags 65 from the warehouse, and a cylinder 98 to actuate blades 99 in order to hold the upper edge of the bag inlet.
FIGS. 17 and 18 show the mechanism to drive the side blades 66 which includes a set of two spindles 68 and 69 each of them ending in toothed wheels 70, 71 geared to each other and one of them holding a shaft 72 with a driving crank 73 Associated with the spindles and guided by an intermediate guide 74, parallel to the spindles, are arranged pairs of sliding supports, 75 and 76, with holes threaded to one of the spindles and merely slidably engaging the other spindle, related two by two with bars 77 housed in rotating levers 79, 80 mounted on sliding supports 75, 76. The stem 82 of a fluid dynamic cylinder 81 is articulated to a lug 78 of bars 77 and said cylinder is integral with one of the sliding supports, in such a way that when cylinder 81 acts, a coordinated rotation of the levers 79, 80 and through it of the lateral blades 66 occurs. The mechanism of the spindle allows to suitably position the side parts depending on the width of the bag. The sliding supports 75 hold the blades of one of the sides of the two bags and the supports 76 the two blades of the other side.
FIG. 19 shows the means to drive the blades 67 designed to hold the bag lower edge which consist of L-shaped plates locked by one of their ends to a shaft 82 which is rotated by a lever 83 connected to a pneumatic cylinder 84 whereby one of the L-shaped plates of blade 67 can be superposed, after a 90-degree rotation, on floor 63.
In order to transfer the meat pieces from second supporting floor 5b onto the floor 63, pushing means are employed consisting of L-shaped profile 111 with one of its arms parallel and superimposed to the strips 6b and rotatable cylinders 25, and the second arm linked to the stem of a fluid dynamic actuator 112.
The means for moving the wrapped pieces up to the third station 3 comprise clamps 85 mounted for lengthwise displacement along guides 86 of a horizontal overhanging arm 87 associated with a column 88 and means for lifting and lowering column 88 as shown in FIG. 16.
The lifting means (FIG. 16) comprise an upright hydraulic cylinder 89 having mounted at the end of the stem thereof a pulley 90 around which a chain 91 extends, locked by one of its ends to a fixed point 92 and connected by its other end 93 to a support 94 uprightly guided inside a static upright support 95.
The lengthwise movement of the clamps 85 along the arm 86 is carried out by a fluid dynamic cylinder 100 connected to clamp 85.
The containers sealing station 3 is of a conventional type and it is only emphasized that when the bag linearly moves with the product, when leaving the bags in the recess, provided with a cover 96 moved by a cylinder 97, the bags are always left in a pre-set position to make the sealing means operative.
FIG. 13 shows the cabin or enclosure 120 of upright laminar flow which surrounds the set of the three mentioned stations to guaranty that all the operations that are carried out sequentially, are achieved in a sterile atmosphere.
Lastly FIGS. 20 and 21 describe the mechanism to actuate the clamps 85 comprising pairs of slidable support pieces 101, 102, which are moveable lengthwise along guide rods 103, 104 and connected through levers 105, 106 to diametrically opposed points of two rotatable discs 107, 108. One of the members of each pair of support pieces is attached to the stem of a fluid dynamic cylinder 109, 110 integral with a housing of the unit. As indicated by the arrows in FIG. 21, when one of the slidable support, pieces is pushed the other support piece is also moved so that they move toward or away from each other, to open or close the clamps 85.
The fluid dynamic actuators employed can be hydraulic or pneumatic depending on performances or the features of the plant.

text: I checked it iwht the original battery and a new one. The issue is like this. Only when I switch the phone off, it loads the battery. When it is finaly loaded, it unloaded in 90 minutes. When I loaded while the phone is switched on then the battery icon does not changed and a app that shoes the percentage shows me that there is also no power going in to the battery.......it sucks the power all in 90 minutes. I have no idea if there is a setting for this but I am sure that I did not change a setting to get this time consuming loading trouble. Anyone an idea how to solve this?

BACKGROUND: Early neutropenia is more common in small for gestational age (SGA) neonates (birth weight ≤10th percentile) than in appropriately grown neonates. However, several aspects of this variety of neutropenia are unknown, including the duration, kinetic mechanism, and outcomes. METHODS: Using 10 years of multihospital records, we studied SGA neonates who, during the first week after birth, had neutrophil counts,1000/mL. RESULTS: This degree of neutropenia was more common in SGA neonates (6%, 207/3650) than in non-SGA matched controls (1%, 46/3650; P <001). Neutrophil counts stayed below the lower reference interval for 7 days. Ratios of immature to total neutrophils were within the reference interval, suggesting reduced neutrophil production, not accelerated neutrophil use or destruction. Increased nucleated red cells at birth correlated with decreased neutrophils (P,.001). Neutropenia was not independently associated with maternal hypertensive disorders, over and above the effect of SGA. Of 201 neutropenic SGA neonates, 129 (64%) also had thrombocytopenia. Sixteen percent of neutropenic neonates were treated with recombinant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rGCSF) or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), with no reduction in late-onset sepsis or necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Regression analysis showed that neutropenia (but not thrombocytopenia in the absence of neutropenia) was independently associated with increased odds of developing necrotizing enterocolitis (odds ratio 4.01, 90% confidence interval 2.08 to 7.35, P <001). CONCLUSIONS: Neutropenia of SGA is a condition of 1-week duration. It is more closely associated with SGA than maternal hypertension (likely owing to neutrophil hypoproduction associated with intrauterine hypoxia), often accompanied by thrombocytopenia, not obviously improved by rG-CSF or IVIG, and associated with an increased risk for NEC. © 2015 by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

OBJECTIVE: To compare neonatal red blood cell (RBC) transfusion rates in four large Intermountain Healthcare NICUs, all of which adhere to the same RBC transfusion guidelines. STUDY DESIGN: This retrospective analysis was part of a transfusion-management quality-improvement project. De-identified data included RBC transfusions, clinical and laboratory findings, the anemia-prevention strategies in place in each NICU, and specific costs and outcomes. RESULT: Of 2389 NICU RBC transfusions given during the 4-year period studied, 98.9 ± 2.1% (mean ± s.d.) were compliant with our transfusion guidelines, with no difference in compliance between any of the four NICUs. However, RBC transfusion rates varied widely between the four, with averages ranging from 4.6 transfusions/1000 NICU days to 21.7/1000 NICU days (P < 0.00001). Gestational age-adjusted transfusion rates were correspondingly discordant (P < 0.00001). The lower-transfusing NICUs had written anemia-preventing guidelines, such as umbilical cord milking at very low birth weight delivery, use of cord blood for admission laboratory studies, and darbepoetin dosing for selected neonates. Rates of Bell stage ≥ 2 necrotizing enterocolitis and grade ≥ 3 intraventricular hemorrhage were lowest in the two lower-transfusing NICUs (P < 0.0002 and P < 0.0016). Average pharmacy costs for darbepoetin were $84/dose, with an average pharmacy cost of $269 per transfusion averted. With a cost of $900/RBC transfusion, the anemia-preventing strategies resulted in an estimated cost savings to Intermountain Healthcare of about $6970 per 1000 NICU days, or about $282 300 annually. CONCLUSION: Using transfusion guidelines has been shown previously to reduce practice variability, lower transfusion rates and diminish transfusion costs. Based on our present findings, we maintain that even when transfusion guidelines are in place and adhered to rigorously, RBC transfusion rates are reduced further if anemia-preventing strategies are also in place. © 2015 Nature America, Inc.

Anglers that have written off Ireland's 'glory days' as a thing of the past may have to rethink their view after three anglers shared over 1,000lb between them in two days on the bank.
After hearing rumours of good catches at one of the country's most famed waters, the lads decided to make the long trip from their South West base and were richly rewarded with fish averaging around 3lb coming virtually every drop for the duration of the fishing sessions.
"It was the most astonishing action we have ever experienced. Ireland has been criticised for its deteriorating sport but this is proof if it was ever needed that you can land the catch of a lifetime there," explained group leader Malc Elstone.
For more details on one of the biggest catches to come from Ireland in the over a year and the rig that did the damage, see next week's Angling Times, on sale Tuesday 5th July.

October 13, 2009
Although the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) now believes that tort reform would significantly curb defensive medicine and its cost, the agency's numbers are still far short of the savings claimed by some advocates for tort reform.
For example:
- A 2007 study by the National Center for Policy Analysis, a conservative think tank, put the annual cost of defensive medicine in 2005 between $100 billion and $178 billion.
- In contrast, the CBO priced defensive medicine in 2009 at $6.6 billion.
However, health care providers would enjoy a 10 percent cut in their malpractice insurance premiums if tort reform was enacted, according to the CBO:
- In Miami, where premiums are the highest in the nation, that reduction would save $5,800 for a general internist currently paying a base rate of roughly $58,000, according to Michael Matray, editor of Medical Liability Monitor.
- Minnesota general internists, whose base rate is $4500 per year, would save $450.
The $54 billion that tort reform shaves from the federal deficit over 10 years includes not only $41 billion in reduced spending for Medicare, Medicaid and other government programs but also $13 billion in increased tax revenue. The CBO reasoned that decreased private-sector spending on health care would cut the cost of employer-based coverage, which represents taxable compensation. As a result, taxable wages would increase, boosting federal tax revenue.

Know About Taxotere Lawsuit
Taxotere is a chemotherapy drug prescribed for breast cancer treatment. It was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1996. Since then, taxotere has become the most popular drug used for treating breast cancer. Since then, it has become the most preferred drug prescribed to breast cancer patients. While the drug is effective in extending survival, one of its most glaring side effects is alopecia or permanent hair loss.
There are numerous chemotherapy drugs on the market, and Taxotere is not the only choice for doctors treating breast cancer patients. Unfortunately, Sanofi worked hard to steer doctors toward its product rather than less expensive drugs. Studies have found that Taxotere is actually less effective than cheaper competitors. In chemotherapy, a less effective drug means a lower survival rate. You can check out www.taxoterehairlawsuit.com/taxotere-lawsuit-lawyers.aspx to get more information regarding hair loss lawsuits.
Or if you were treated with Taxotere or any other form of docetaxel and your hair has not grown back, you may have a case for a lawsuit against Sanofi. Your lawsuit could result in a financial recovery that can help you pay for hospital bills, hair growth treatment, and the pain of losing your hair.
In the United States, women had no warning of permanent hair loss until 2015, when the FDA updated its safety information on Taxotere. The FDA added permanent hair loss warnings based on large numbers of reports from patients and doctors. Only after the FDA took this action did Sanofi update its own warnings to potential patients.
The symptoms of alopecia include:
- Baldness
- No eyebrows or eyelashes
- Complete lack of hair all over the body, including the legs

Unanswered: Data Access Pages: manipulate objects in window 2 from script in window 1.
I'm trying to construct an on-line request processing system using Access 2000 Data Access Pages. I want to open a new window, using window.open, and write a value to a textbox on the new window, from script in the original window.
I've been trying to adapt some code from a MS Technical document. It looks like this:
Dim newWin
Set newWin=window.open("FileName",null,"center:yes")
So far so good. That works. The new page opens. Then I hit problems. The sample code I'm copying is designed to set the sort order of the data set. It reads as follows:
Dim myDSC
Set myDCS=newWin.document.all.MSODSC
However, I dont want to sort the recordset, I want to put a value into a textbox called txtDiscountNumber which is on the new document. How the hell do I address the text objext to write to its .value property? I've been trying different variations for days now and I'm loosing the will to live.
Please, can anyone help?

Hi everyone
Some great pics and great to hear that everyone is getting really positive results.
Great to hear about that test Samarasmum, I have mt NY test next week so a bit nervous and nice to know there is options if its high risk.
Nat, your Xmas sounds like a nightmare but glad to hear its all settling down now. Hopefully the other sack is now gone and the twins have got lots of room to move
I was trying to work out whether Im starting to show or not. My tummy is definitely rounder but I didnt have a six pack to begin with so hard to tell. Ive only put on a 1kg but there is definitely a fair percentage in my boobs & maybe a little bump increasing
How's everyone faring today in the extreme heat? Luckily for me I was at work today in lovely air-conditioning which really helped
Had a lovely 10 days off where I did nothing and thought many of my dodgy pregnancy symptoms were disappearing but I had the works yesterday - headaches, runs, nausea. Im like a one women pregnancy symptom manual
Off to put my feet up and chill for the weekend.. (hope Jen you are doing the same)

IVF babies due July/August/September 2013
Hey chances, was thinking of you yesterday with your scan. So glad it went well and you sound like you had a ball over in NZ! I too am showing a lot but I still have ovaries the size of oranges in there that haven't started shrinking yet. Not to mention it's baby no 3 and things don't hold as well as they used too!
My doppler is great although sometimes it's getting harder to find the little wriggler as you can hear it moving so much but I enjoy the challenge of finding the hb!
Vivre, I'm glad you were cool yesterday! I was way too hot and spent most of the day under the air con. So glad it has cooled down a bit today. I have my scan on the 9th so close to you again! When are you next at the obs??

Hi Jen thanks for the thoughts! I have videos from the scan too Yours is not too far away so you will see for yaself how special it is. My mum and dad were also present and OMG being the first grandchild my mum is like "my baby" hhahaa. The doppler is awesome right, i just use mine for reassurance mainly and yes it is a challenge to find the heart beat at times but great when you do - i only can find it for a few seconds and the little bubba is off again lol.

AmendmentHide Overview icon-hide
|Amends Bill:
|H.R.2 — Line Item Veto Act
|Rep. Stenholm, Charles W. [D-TX-17] (Offered 02/06/1995)
|Latest Action:
|02/06/1995 On agreeing to the Stenholm amendment (A020) Failed by recorded vote: 156 - 266 (Roll no. 93).
Description: H.Amdt. 97 — 104th Congress (1995-1996)All Information (Except Text)
Amendment in the nature of a substitute sought to add the text of H.R. 4600, amending the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to provide for the expedited consideration of certain proposed rescissions of budget authority which passed the House in 1994. The addition of this language would have enabled the President to choose between the use of a line-item veto procedure or expedited rescission procedures when proposing rescissions of appropriations or vetoes of targeted tax benefits.
An amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the original text of H.R. 2, but adding provisions to allow the President to choose between using a line item veto or specified expedited rescissions procedures, which would require a vote of Congress to overturn. The amendment specifies that, should the courts declare the line item veto provisions of the bill, the expedited rescission provisions would remain in effect. (Text of the amendment was printed as amendment No. 35 in the Congressional Record of February 3, 1995.).

child abuse story of healing and recovery from R was created December 19, 2006
and was originally posted on August 22, 2006 as story #2.
is from Milano, Italy
following child abuse story of healing and recovery from R. depicts physical
abuse and emotional abuse.
The child abuse effects on R. were feelings that she was nothing, that she didn't deserve to be loved, that she didn't deserve to live, the inability to trust, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, nightmares, and phobias.
Do you want to be heard?
the last one of three sisters. My parents had been abusing me since I was a
little child. I guess they were (and are) very unhappy and probably victims
I was a child (now I'm 36) I learned that silence was a must. It might keep
anger explosions away. Violence at home was something "normal"; I
really thought that in every family the relationships between children and
parents were just such as at my parents' house.
My father used to batter my mother, my sisters and me.
My mother used to batter my sisters and me.
My sisters used to abuse me.
I was a silent little girl.
I had no friends.
I couldn't play at
home, neither out.
parents yelled at me all the time, calling me wh*re, b***h, dork, **shole, and in
many other horrible ways, making me feel I was nothing, less than nothing, that
I didn't deserve to live, that I didn't deserve to be loved. People who should
have been protecting me were instead my torturers. I felt like I couldn't trust
I was all alone with them.
A family of crazy
ran away from home when I was 17. I couldn't realize what this did to me till I
had an abusive partner, which lasted almost 10 years, and ended with her
attempting to kill me because I decided to leave.
I started to experience post traumatic stress disorder, such anxiety,
nightmares, phobias and illness related to the attempted murder.
I decided to take part in therapy, and after a long time I realized that all of
my life was influenced by what happened to me. And even if I always knew, it
was weird to "discover" it; it's really hard to explain, but it was
like a veil was taken off from my eyes.
I see things in a different way. I am aware and finally free, even if talking
about my past is obviously sad and painful. Nobody and nothing could ever drop
what happened, but I learned to go on and love and respect myself. It was not
my fault...
Hope if some of you reading these words has been going through a pain like mine, you can find the strength in yourself to overcome and start a new life.

The mind is pulled in two different directions in meditation.
Peace, calm, and joy are the intrinsic rewards that meditation offers, and in theory that reward system should help keep you anchored in your direct, moment-by-moment experience. That can happen, and in fact that's a good description of the experience of jhana (dhyana in Sanskrit). Jhana is a state of "flow" in which meditation becomes effortless because the rewards of joy, pleasure, and calmness keep you immersed in your present-moment experience. The rewards of meditation can pull you into your practice. That's the first pull.
But it's not always easy to experience those rewards. There's another pull, which we're all too familiar with: the pull … Read more »
Are you one of those people who think, "Oh, I could never meditate. My mind's too busy!"?
I'm here to tell you that having a busy mind is the very best reason to meditate, not a reason to avoid it! After all we start going to the gym because we're out of shape, not because we're already fit. Meditating helps our busy minds become calmer.
Of course, just as when you start going to the gym the first thing you notice is how out of condition you are, it's often a shock when we first meditate to discover just how unruly our minds are. But that's OK. That's something we just learn to accept.… Read more »
We can experience different kinds of distracted thinking in meditation.
There are obvious, compelling, and "in your face" thoughts in which we tend to become completely immersed. These are the full-blown distractions where we completely forget that we're meant to be meditating, and instead become submerged in our inner dramas. We dip in and out of these all the time in meditation, returning to the practice every time mindful awareness reappears.
Then there are lighter background thoughts that babble on in the background, even as we continue to pay attention to the meditation practice. So we'll be following the breathing, for example, while random thoughts keep popping up. Perhaps these thoughts take the form of … Read more »
The problem with distractions is that they're compelling. They make us think that they're important. They draw us into their stories. It's as if they're saying, "This is what you need to be thinking about right now."
And so, over and over, we end up immersed in stories driven by anxiety, anger, desire, and self-doubt.
These distractions come from relatively primitive parts of our programming, which evolved as protective mechanisms. As mammals who suffered from predation, we needed to be anxious and alert for potential physical threats to our wellbeing. When such threats became actual—a stranger approaching our camp, for example—we might respond with displays of anger in order to invoke respect or fear … Read more »
I used to begin my day with a cigarette and a cup of a coffee. Now I begin my day with a meditation and a cup of coffee. But I have to admit, increasingly I can see that my day often begins with looking at one of my devices.
How many of you begin your day with the cell phone, the iPad, or the computer?
I was asked to do some training on digital addiction with some artists and geeks, and I was alarmed after some research to realize that I too am teetering into digital addiction.
If we rely on the dictionary definition of addiction, 'the fact or condition of being addicted to a … Read more »
The moment when we realize that we've been caught up in a distracted train of thought is a valuable opportunity to bring skillful qualities into the mind, and to cultivate insight.
This is something that's very familiar to anyone who's meditated. We'll start by following the breathing, or some other object of attention, but then without our making any conscious choice to shift our focus we slip into a dream-like state in which we're rehashing a dispute, or fantasizing about something pleasant, or worrying about some situation in our lives.
These periods of distraction can be so intense that they are like hypnotic states. They're like dreams. They're like mental bubbles of an internal virtual … Read more »
Beginners to meditation are often disappointed, annoyed, or despondent about many thoughts arise in meditation. They want to get rid of these thoughts, especially since many of them are emotionally troubling and cause stress, anxiety, and other forms of suffering.
Long-term meditators, of course, learn to accept the arising of thoughts, and so they don't get upset about them.
Something that can benefit not just beginners, but people with many years of experience of meditation, is that we don't need to do anything to get rid of our thoughts!
That may sound a bit puzzling. Here's a bit of context to help you make sense of what I mean.
We tend to be very focused … Read more »
Your ability to stick with something varies from activity to activity. For example, when playing Scrabble or a computer game, or watching a movie, you no doubt have thoughts about unrelated things, but you keep coming back to the activity. But in other things, like meditation, you find it more difficult to stay focused, and may even give up.
This all suggests that "attention span" is a question of how you relate to distraction, rather than some intrinsic quality of the mind.
The difference is often to do with rewards: in Scrabble, you naturally get a reward when you've completed a word and score points. That gives you a little dopamine hit—not just when you … Read more »
I was teaching a class the other night and after a guided meditation one woman said she'd found it hard because lots of thoughts came up, and she'd get absorbed in them. Then she had to keep letting go of the thoughts and returning to the breathing. Of course I reassured her that that's absolutely normal. In fact, noticing that we've been caught up in the mind's stories and returning to our present-moment experience (whether of the breathing or something else) is what meditation is about.
Once you accept that fact, you're less likely to think of yourself as being a "bad meditator" or to think that your meditation practice isn't going well just … Read more »
Someone recently asked me about how to deal with useful distractions:
As a creative writer, I think I get some of my best ideas while in a meditative state such as when showering or shaving. My question is what I should do when a 'useful' or 'epiphany moment' happens while meditating. My instinct is to get up and write my idea down and my fear is that if I go back to my breathing I will lose this idea which has bubbled up from my subconscious. I don't really see my wandering mind as a thing to avoid but a thing to embrace – which confuses me regarding the practice of meditation.
Mind-wandering is partly … Read more »

"Our recent parking upgrades are all part of what we call the Nashville Airports Experience," Wigington said. "We're always looking to see how we can improve our customer service, add new features and make flying fun again."

we can be repaired to a bit but not replaced. just hopeing thay are all ok.
that knee doing sky, go and get it checked out, if its sore the now you'll be in agony tomorrow and even if ok the hospital will give you good pain relief
kam, my knee is now about the size of my foot and very stiff along with my elbow but apart from that im ok. My leaters, helmet boots and gloves are beyond help. I saw mine and skys bike in lix toll garage, mine is definately a right off but sky's may be repairable. saying that with it being 3 years old they may just right it off aswell as the back end is pretty mangled.
All i care about is that sky's ok, i know it was an accident and no ones fault really but i still feel very guilty. Cant believe it happened after 5 years riding, was always very proud of the fact that i hadnt crashed. Steve is coming round to mine next week to have a memorial service for the triumph.
Triumph Daytona 675 R.I.P july 2006 to july 2009. A loved and cherished bike that I will never forget.
and yes the insurance should be paying out for it all. No reason why not so hopefully sky will get a new bike out of this.
**The Saab stopped in the middle of the road **
..Patrick swerved round it ...Stewart hit his anchors and signalled to Sky behind ..she brakes ...but Glen following on behind and coming over the brow of the hill runs full tilt into the back of her ... Sky's bike was punted from under her and spun off the road, end over end ..Glen and his 675 hit the tarmac and also spin off down the embankment...... Meanwhile the Saab driver had decided not to stop in the lay-by after all ...and drives off, - oblivious to the carnage created behind him!

Firstly, I'm glad everyone is ok, The bikes can be replaced, But did'nt anyone get the registration number of the 'Saab' ?
I was reading this and my heart was actually pounding mate! Thank god your all ok and bugger the bikes as long as your all safe and relatively well.
Did you get the Saab's plates? Failing to stop at the scene of an accident methinks?
Give my best to Sky and Glen and hope they're not too shaken up. Its the last thing she needs with the recent job search.
Glad to see that you all made it back home,Hope sky and glen feel better soon after the crash,and it was turnning out to be a brill rideout too till that TWAT in the SAAB done what they did,even had scare myself going back home with this TOSSER in a VOLVO kept moving over and blocking me off from getting past,any way hope to meet you all again soon will keep eye on forum for any more rideouts.
Did you say brow of the hill
so the Saab driver chose a pretty dangerous spot
if you have his number plate, I reckon that's a dangerous move and something should be done...
Best wishes to Glen, get well soon and sorry about the Daytona
I am sure I speak for most when I say that are thoughts are with you and Sky.
**ryan46little **
_glad to hear there both ok. _
bikes can be repaired or replaced.
Thanks ...sorry to hear you also had an off today ..hope you are ok too ..as you say ...the bikes don't matter really ... it's the people that count ... there were some lucky ecapes today ...if either Glen or Sky had had their legs caught between the coliding bikes it would have been a very different story!

As I recall, they all look like Eddie for a while.
He's identical to me at that age.
He appears frustrated, or deep in thought!
Looks a little bit like young Babe.
He's thinking about being a contractor or having a cubicle. What a great pic!
Matt, uuummm isn't that your constipated look?
Pretty much... but I usually have a magazine in hand; takes my mind off of the task at hand.
And your pistol in case anybody interrupts you.
Never break in on a man's office time.
I'd love to have one of these at the next house.
It would look great in the front yard.....
Hi Matt,
Did you get my info?
