Executive Summary
In 2011, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed joint fuel economy and greenhouse gas pollution standards for new cars and light trucks.
These proposed standards would reach the equivalent of 54.5 miles per gallon (mpg) and 163 grams of carbon dioxide per mile (g/mi) for the average new vehicle in 2025. Hereafter we refer to these proposed joint fuel economy and greenhouse gas pollution standards simply as "the proposed standards." In this report, we analyze the macroeconomic impacts of the proposed standards with particular attention to the net gain in U.S. employment.
Our analysis finds that the proposed standards will create an estimated 570,000 jobs (full-time equivalent) throughout the U.S economy, including 50,000 in light-duty vehicle manufacturing (parts and vehicle assembly) by the year 2030. Real wages are projected to increase even faster than job growth. This implies that the proposed standards will both lead to new jobs and, on average, higher-paying jobs across the U.S. economy. By 2030, we also find a net increase of about $75 billion in annual Gross Domestic Product (all monetary values in 2010 dollars).
The proposed standards create jobs by helping to save drivers money on transportation fuel through improved average fuel economy over time and increased variety of more fuel-efficient vehicles. These new, more fuel-efficient vehicles are incrementally more expensive due to technology upgrades, but fuel savings are expected to more than outweigh the added cost. Fuel and cost impacts and other assumptions are harmonized with the assessments of the relevant federal agencies to the greatest extent possible.
It is important to keep in mind that the proposed standards we analyze cover the period 2017-2025, building on the 2012-2016 standards, so the economic benefits quantified here are only a fraction of the total benefits that will be delivered by stronger performance standards for vehicles. The 2016 standards themselves would be expected to deliver greater job growth and other macroeconomic benefits than the proposed standards since the net fuel savings (fuel savings minus costs) are even higher for that regulation.
Vehicle manufacturing has been one of the country's top performing sectors in recent years. From the seasonally-adjusted low point of June 2009 through May 2012, the nation gained 146,000 jobs in motor vehicle manufacturing (including parts suppliers) and when auto dealers are included the job gains amount to 219,000. The nation's largest automakers are investing billions in retooling and expanding to produce the cleaner cars that consumers are demanding.
It's not just domestic consumers that are demanding cleaner, more fuel-efficient vehicles. An underappreciated benefit of the proposed standards is that they will close the gap between U.S. standards and those of other major car markets, including China, Japan, Korea, and the European Union. All these countries have more ambitious vehicle performance standards than the U.S., and they will continue to outperform the U.S. in this area even assuming the proposed standards are implemented. However, the proposed standards will bring U.S. vehicle performance closer to that of other major auto producers, ensuring steady progress toward greater harmonization with potential export markets. This should strengthen the position of U.S. vehicle makers in the international market.
To further explore potential economic benefits of the proposed standards, we consider two alternative auto-manufacturing scenarios in addition to our main policy case. We investigate the manufacturing employment results that would follow from increased vehicle sales. We estimate that if light-duty vehicle sales were to increase by 4 percent in 2030, light-duty vehicle manufacturing employment would increase by 19,000.
We also explore the question of how many more jobs would be created if the domestic content (the amount of a vehicle's value that is produced in the United States) could be increased. We focus on one slice of the lightduty vehicle market, the jobs associated with the new more fuel-efficient technologies that will be used to achieve compliance with the new standards. Currently about 60 percent of the value added in light-duty vehicle production is captured domestically, so we assume that as the starting point for the manufacture of new energy-efficient technologies analyzed in this scenario. We find that if domestic content for these new components was to increase to 75 percent in 2030, then about 4,100 jobs would be added in light-duty vehicle manufacturing (including parts suppliers). The economic ripple effects create jobs in other sectors of the economy amounting to 9,000 jobs, more than twice the number of jobs directly created.
Our domestic content scenario is not a prediction but a what-if scenario. It illustrates the benefits that would follow from a trend toward higher domestic content. What could actually bring such a result about? Smart policy is crucial. There is an immediate need for the Department of Energy to process and disperse funding already allocated to the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program. Policies that support greater industrial energy efficiency will also assist international competitiveness by lowering long run energy costs and reducing vulnerability to energy fuel spikes. In the preface to the report, David Foster sketches a larger policy vision for capturing more of the manufacturing jobs associated with the transition to cleaner energy.

Pronunciations Website
After today's brown bag talk I was wondering what is the correct way of pronouncing "Principia"; I used online dictionaries to lookup the pronunciation and they had it with a soft C ("prinSipia"), however, prof. Constable pronounced it with a hard C ("prinKipia"). I did some more search after the talk and it seems that there is no definitive way to pronounce it.
On the upside, I found this website: http://www.forvo.com/ that is a like a wiki for word pronunciation from around the world. Cool Idea.

Proform Trailrunner 4.0
Read Other Treadmills
The Proform Trailrunner 4.0
Hello my loyal readers! It's good to have you back for more. My story today is on the Proform Trailrunner 4.0.
Over the past year Proform has really been pushing hard, and getting more and more competitive. The Trailrunner is prime example. This is an extremely good treadmill, but generally it's about $3000 which makes it a little less exciting. It's still not bad, but it's not very alluring at that price.
The Treadmill is on a crazy sale right now for about $1700 bucks. The regular price is practically cut in half, so I'm guessing a lot of people are wondering if they should buy it. I figured I'd right a review about it to help people know what they're getting.
Proform is one of Icon's largest dealers, which means a lot. Icon is by far the largest treadmill manufacturing company in the world. Their treadmills have not always been the highest quality, but usually they've been the most affordable. Throughout the past several years Icon's quality has been improving along with their prices.
The Trailrunner 4.0 is one of Proform's best designed, and most expensive treadmills. It has all the most advanced electronics and high quality components. Usually the people who buy it are not looking for a budget treadmill, but are willing to pay for quality and longevity. It claims a 3.8 CHP engine (which, when you run on it, feels like it could actually be true). The running area is the full 20″ x 60″ with a 2-ply belt to make it quieter and more durable. The drive system is very well balanced and powerful. The cushioning feels great when you run on it. The speed and incline are the full 12MPH and 15% incline. The weight limit is 350lbs. The warranty is better than most, giving you lifetime frame and motor coverage, 5 year parts, and 2 year labor. The features are:
- 10″ Full-Color Touch Screen with Browser Powered by Android. (these are sweet)
- 32 workout apps.
- Intermix Acoustics 3.0
- Ipod Compatibility
- Built in Ifit Live
- Heart Rate Monitor
- Fold-up space saver design
- Workout intensity control
Mix this treadmill in with all the others in the mid $1000's class and it looms well over their heads. If I was looking for a good treadmill in that price range I'd usually go with a NordicTrack, or some other company, but right now I would have to recommend this treadmill. At this price it's a purchase you will be happy about for years and years as you see your trailrunner stand up to your beatings. If you're a serious runner this will work for you. If you're a light runner, this will still work great. Check it out. This ought to go in our next Best Buy Award. I don't know how long the sale will last, but swipe it up while it's here.
Thanks for reading, hope this stuff helps out. See you next time!

This course explores issues concerning the ethical distribution of scarce resources, with a focus on healthcare settings. It brings together theoretical reasoning in normative ethics with concrete concerns in bioethics. It examines theoretical literature (by Broome, Kamm, Scanlon, Temkin, and others) on issues surrounding the aggregation of goods and their fair distribution. For example, is there a number of mild headaches such that preventing them is just as good (or better) than saving a person's life? How ought we to determine whose life to save when it is not possible to save everyone who has a claim to be saved? The course couples these theoretical investigations with consideration of concrete proposals regarding how to ration healthcare resources, for example, organs for transplantation, HIV medicines, and flu vaccine.

Review: Evernight: Romance in a World of Darkness VOL 2
Evernight: Romance in a World of Darkness VOL 2 by Allison Cassatta
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I am really enjoying the stories of the anthology Evernight: Volume II. There is one story in particular I really wanted to review though because I just loved it.
The story is Serpentine by: Rory Ni Coileain
In this story a young princess is being told a bedtime story about the mythological Lamias. I have to admit, in many of the stories I have read, there is mention of Lamias, and they are usually the protagonists. Never have I read one with the Lamia as the main character. So the idea of a story about one was intriguing. I was sucked in from the first paragraph. It is a short story yet I didn't feel cheated. There is a very clear conflict and resolution. It is so hard sometimes for me to like short stories because often I feel cheated. That was not the case in this story.
At first I thought this was going to have a bad ending. Even if it had I still would have been pleased because any story that evokes emotion, good or bad, is great in my eyes. The setting is vaguely medieval with paranormal elements. A short and sweet romance, I recommend that you pick up this anthology. If you buy it to read this story you won't be disappointed and there are many others that are worth a look.

world cup 2010 10 days
World Cup teams brace for altitude change as they head to South Africa
Tuesday, June 1, 2010
The French have been biking through the snow-capped Alpine resort of Tignes.
The Italians have been sprinting in Sestriere, the posh enclave that hosted skiing events for the 2006 Winter Olympics.
And England, at least for a time, pondered whether its players should sleep in specially designed low-oxygen tents.
All three have won a World Cup. And in pursuit of another title, their national soccer teams have taken extraordinary measures to gird for the nearly mile-high climes of South Africa -- altitudes that can affect athletes' energy, mental acuity and recovery time.
Of the nine South African cities hosting World Cup matches this summer, five are at 4,000 feet or higher. Johannesburg, where the June 11 opener and July 11 final will be contested, is the highest among them, at 5,750 feet. (The elevation of Denver is 5,280 feet.)
In the case of the United States, all three of its first-round matches are at 4,000 feet or higher, where the effects of altitude will come into play. The U.S. squad opens against England June 12 in Rustenburg (4,905 feet), and follows June 18 with a match against Slovenia at Johannesburg's Ellis Park and June 23 against Algeria in Pretoria (4,457 feet).
U.S. coaches considered basing their weeklong, pre-World Cup training camp in Austria, as Spain and the Netherlands, among others, chose to do.
After consulting with the U.S. Olympic Committee's altitude-training expert, they opted to base their camp in Princeton, N.J. -- essentially sea level -- but travel to South Africa two weeks before their first match to give athletes time to acclimate.
The decision required as much deliberation as any tactical, on-field formation -- based on a mixture of science, exercise physiology, psychology and pragmatism.
"It's more of a headache for the coaches -- for me -- than for the athletes," Pierre Barrieu, the U.S. team's fitness coach, said of the challenge of developing a plan to get the Americans in peak condition for their 12-day slog of matches in Group C and, ideally, beyond.
The competitive complication is this: As the altitude gets higher, the concentration of oxygen in the air decreases. Oxygen supplies energy to the body's cells. As a result, the body works harder to keep those cells fed. The breathing rate increases, and the production of oxygen-transporting red blood cells increases.
"Being at altitude -- whether it's low, moderate or high -- obviously you have less oxygen available," Barrieu said, "and a simple task becomes harder."

November 2017
Oct 25, 2013 -
SWOG's plans for keeping our leadership fresh were part of our NCTN grant submission and were well received at the NCI. These included regular performance reviews and term-limits for office, that latter (to be discussed in a future weekly missive) enabling the next generation to take leading roles in our organization.
There will be two types of reviews. The first is a fairly low-key annual review that will feature a 15- to 30-minute discussion between committee chair and group chair, taking place at our spring or fall group meeting. Specific criteria under review include the number of protocols launched or in development, the level of support for young investigators, the record of trial accrual, and management of any problems specific to the given committee.
The second review of committee chairs, at the midpoint of each five-year term, is a more thorough 360-degree review. SWOG will solicit performance feedback from colleagues "above," "below," and "beside" the committee chairs. This will likely include the chair of another committee, a member of the given chair's committee working group, an executive officer, and an expert peer from outside of SWOG. A particularly critical component will be the committee chair's self-evaluation. This mid-term review will include a 30-minute meeting with the group chair and, in addition to the criteria used in the annual review, would also assess the following:
We will initiate these reviews starting with the spring 2014 group meeting in San Francisco. And though a performance review could theoretically result in our replacing a committee chair, I see this as highly unlikely and think their primary benefit will be to keep an open channel of communication and to clearly and effectively review the committee's, and the Group's, progress in our fight against cancer.
I welcome your feedback and ideas on this front.

Swedish camera maker Hasselblad has carried the medium-format flag for decades, creating magnificent-though-pricey favorites of professional studio and fine-art photographers around the world. Its latest release, the compact, mirrorless X1D, aims to bring medium-format digital photography, renowned for its sublime image quality, more fully to a mobile crowd. It's not necessarily a less affluent set, mind you — the body alone starts at $8,995 — but it's more mobile nonetheless. The X1D is the first of it's kind, and perhaps the year's most hotly anticipated giant-sensor camera kit.
So what's it like to shoot? I took one out into the Nevada desert to find out. We arranged some attractive subjects for our late-afternoon shoot: the new Bentley Bentayga SUV and a Bowlus Road Chief aluminum trailer. That's pretty posh metal to match an equally premium camera — and a challenging duo, as well. The lily-white Bentayga would contrast sharply with the desert backdrop, while the mirror-finished Bowlus would provide a squirrely and unpredictable target as twilight settled around it. The location provided yet another twist: a gritty ghost town called Eldorado Canyon Mine. Not exactly the Getty Center, as locales for luxury machines go, but that made it all the more fun. Besides, Eldorado is a former gold mine, which proved an appropriate enough metaphor for a camera looking to score in a notoriously challenging segment.
The X1D is the first of its kind, and perhaps the year's most hotly anticipated giant-sensor camera kit.
We arrived on scene moments before sunset, and I hustled to find a good spot to place the vehicles that would capture the environment, all the while learning my way around the X1D. The camera's user-friendly touchscreen menu and minimal surface controls made this easy, which speaks to its distinctly greater grab-and-go vibe than any other medium-format predecessor. It is, after all, a compact, mirrorless shooter that's meant to be wielded out in the field, not permanently ensconced in a studio. It was already proving its mettle.
Resolution: 50MP
ISO Range: 100–25,600
Available Lenses: 45mm f/3.5 and 90mm f/4.5
Dynamic Range: 14 stops
Video: full HD 1080p H.264 video at 25 fps
Features: built-in wi-fi, USB 3.0 Type C connector
Price: $8,995 (body)
The rig's look and feel is unique. It fits snugly into your grip and seems to vanish there. It's not feather-light, but it's about what you'd expect if you're used to a moderately sized DSLR. The camera launches with two new XCD lenses, a 45mm f/3.5 and a 90mm f/4.5, each with an internal shutter and a similarly impressive price tag ($2,300 and $2,700, respectively), and they, too, are sleek and compact. But while eminently portable, the X1D is no action cam.
The autofocus isn't as fast as it would be in most DSLR's, and the camera only does single-frame shooting, which is fine given the unique nature of medium-format photography. With 50MP to lay down each time, you can at best achieve a bit over 2 frames per second, as opposed to the 6–10 fps you might get with a machine-gun DSLR. But again — this is a camera that works on a higher plane than your average speed-demon. It's for travel, landscape, portrait — the times you're setting up your shots, framing them, considering exposure, etc. You won't see this on the sidelines of the Super Bowl this year (though in the right hands, it could produce the best single frame of the game).

Are the control files actually in the same location where you told Oracle they are supposed to be?
When was the last the last time this instance sucessfully opened?
What's changed since then?You can lead some folks to knowledge, but you can not make them think.
The average person thinks he's above average!
For most folks, they don't know, what they don't know.

Hm, I'm afraid you mixed things up ... control file in your first post isn't the same you're talking about in the second one.
If I'm not wrong, first control file should be the one that stores the status of the physical structure of the database and is crucial to database operation. Your DB must have at least one control file. And this is the one you're really looking for.
And the second one is control file used by SQL*Loader utility, and this one stores information about loading data from a file into table(s) in your database.
It seems you're reading the wrong log file ...
To see where your control file(s) should be (just like Anacedent asked), check your INIT.ORA file. Then see if it (they) really are in that directory.
I guess we'll hear from you again

I changed the Control_files in INIT.ora . That change fixed the problem.

I don't give a damn about the films or the frocks, which my husband has got disturbingly into lately ('Lupita Nyong'o just killed that Gucci number at the SAGs,' I heard him mutter over a copy of Life & Style magazine the other day). It's the gifting parties that I love.
Gifting parties – hotel suites filled with free stuff for film and TV personalities, their freeloading spouses, extended families and friends – are so exciting that my windpipe actually closes up when I walk into one. I'm not joking. When my husband took me to my first gifting party, I stood at the door of the Beverly Wilshire penthouse crammed with stalls offering free clothing, jewellery, cosmetics, beauty treatments and mini breaks, opening and closing my mouth like a strangled stickleback. Then a woman with a badge marked gifting valet handed me a large black bag and a mimosa, and by the time my airwaves were clear, so was that room.
There's a little self-consciousness, initially. A sense that if this isn't exactly immoral, it's certainly undignified and probably deeply harmful to the soul, unleashing a cravenness that, let's face it, you always knew was there because of that incident with the blonde and the Miu Miu clutch on the first day of the January sales a few years back, but generally try to keep buried. Then you give in to your basest instincts and it's all you can do not to extend your right arm and sweep whole trestle tables of iridescent lipglosses, ballpoint pens and orthopaedic footwear into your swag bag.
Because that's the thing about gifting parties: aside from the more exclusive ones during Oscar week, at which invitees are handed a 'chequebook' of gifts to be cashed in at the Apple or Lancôme stand – I'll never forget seeing Demi Moore hobbled by the weight of the freebies she had amassed at the Night Before party one year – they tend to give away a load of uniquely undesirable crap.
Of course you realise this only once the 'it's-free-I-must-have-it' insanity has passed and you're back at home emptying out the bag on your bed. 'What the hell am I going to do with 360 cinnamon-flavoured dental flossers?' I asked my husband the other day. 'Throw your own gifting party?' he said with a shrug, off to watch Fashion Police. 'Just don't give away those premium-quality mattress-toppers. We may need them one day.'

Concern over arts building costs
Authority urged to adjust future selection criteria as cost of building the arts hub rises
Related topics
The West Kowloon Cultural District Authority is under pressure to increase the weighting it gives to cost when selecting winners of arts facilities competitions, meaning cheaper designs will stand a better chance of winning.
In a Legislative Council meeting yesterday, the statutory authority and Secretary for Home Affairs Tsang Tak-sing were urged to disclose the updated cost of building the 40-hectare arts hub in West Kowloon by July, after the cost of building the first venue - the Xiqu Centre - doubled from its original estimate of HK$1.3 billion to HK$2.7 billion.
The authority's board members and university professors had speculated that the HK$21.6 billion endowment approved in 2007 would no longer be enough to complete the original master plan, due to the significant rise in construction costs.
And their speculation was proved right when in December the authority announced that the winning design for the Xiqu Centre, a performance venue for Chinese operas, would cost twice the estimate made in 2008. It led to further speculation that the cost of the whole arts hub project would also double.
The authority said this was largely due to the rise in construction costs and partly due to the extra facilities added into the design, including space for leisure and education.
But culture and sports constituency lawmaker Ma Fung-kwok, who serves on the board, said the financial risk was already beyond the authority's control and the government should help seek a solution. "I'm so worried," he said. "All the money could be spent after completing the M+ [a flagship museum for visual arts] and the park." The arts hub will have 15 venues in all.
Despite Tsang's reply that the government would closely monitor the authority's cost control, lawmakers on the joint panel monitoring the project yesterday urged the authority to consider increasing the weighting of the cost when selecting the winning designs for future arts venues.
Cost constituted only 10 per cent of the score in selecting the Xiqu Centre design, which the government said was consistent with international practice.
"We don't see any mechanism in place to control the construction cost," said Democratic Party lawmaker Emily Lau Wai-hing. "The public feels that they have already paid a large sum of money, and the government has to be a good gatekeeper."
"The government should consider adjusting the weighting. I know it isn't easy as the arts hub must also be a world-class venue," said lawmaker Tony Tse Wai-chuen.
Tsang said he would ask the board to consider their view, but that there were two sides to consider. "How much weighting should be given to cost? Selecting cheaper designs may have negative impacts," he said.
Solutions to cover the rise in costs the authority is considering include asking for donations, selling naming rights and engaging the private sector to build it.

|Still from Wild Style
This week, we're focusing on Wild Style, a 1983 film credited with bringing hip-hop to the big screen.
Here's Kanopy's description...
Wild Style follows the exploits of maverick tagger Zoro (real life graffiti artist Lee Quinones), whose work attracts the attention of an East Village art fancier (Patti Astor) who commissions him to paint the stage for a giant Rapper's Convention. A document of the earliest days of hip-hop in the boroughs of New York, everything in Wild Style is authentic - the story, style, characters, and most of the actors, are drawn from the community. It features a pantheon of old-school pioneers, including Grandmaster Flash, Busy Bee, The Cold Crush Brothers and more.Wild Style was a community breaking through into film, and its impact made its way back. Artists like Nas, MF Doom, and Jurassic 5 have referenced Wild Style. As the film makes its way to museum and retrospectives, it continues to shape perceptions of hip-hop culture.
"Charlie Ahearn's groundbreaking film about hip-hop, graffiti, break dancing, and rap in eighties." -Sarah Cardace, New York Magazine
"It's a fascinating time capsule, worth examining for anyone interested in the cultural roots of hip hop." -Keith Phipps, AV Club
"Wild Style is a cult classic - indisputably the most important hip hop movie, ever." - David Mattin, BBC
It's also a really good movie – and a must-watch if you haven't already seen it!
You can follow this link to watch the film instantly, in your browser, for free with your AU login.

When someone with Grinch-like intentions burglarized an apartment and left a Sandy family without any Christmas presents, local officers decided they had to get involved.
Around 6:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve, someone broke into the apartment of a mother and her two young children and stole all of the presents the family had.
There wasn't anyone home when the burglary occurred, and the residents didn't get inside until police were already on scene to investigate.
Officers said that when they saw the reactions of the children who just had their Christmas stolen, they knew they had to get involved.

If you want to protect iOS 9 iPhone from the iOS date bricking bug then go on reading our post. According to recent reports a new bug has been discovered in iOS that could potentially brick your device and prevent it from running. The problem appears when you set your iPhone's clock to January 1, 1970. As the result it will cause your device to lockdown and get stuck on the boot up screen.
The only thing you can do in case you have faced with this issue is to go to Apple Store. Some users have said they've been able to get to the DFU screen, and when the device is plugged into their computer, iTunes even recognizes it, but it won't get past the initial boot screen.
How To Protect iOS 9 iPhone From The iOS Date Bricking Bug
So if you're afraid that your friends might pull out a prank on you with this new bug then you should definitely setup a new jailbreak tweak known as BrickingDate. As described, the tweak prevents the date on your iOS device to be changed to January 1, 1970, leaving your iPhone safe in the hands of your cunning friends.
Step 1. To get started jailbreak your iPhone using Pangu tool.
Step 2. Now add a new source to Cydia by opening the Sources tab and tapping Edit -> Add. A new pop-up appears where you'll have to enter the following repository: http://repo.ziph0n.com.
Step 3. Once added, search for the BrickingDate and install it on your iOS 9 device.
As always jailbreak community find the quick solution connected with iOS problems. And in this case release tweak to protect iOS 9 iPhone from the iOS date bricking bug. So those who have jailbroken iDevice are really lucky. And those users with a device that is not jailbroken will have to wait for Apple to push the fix for this bug. It's most likely that they will fix the issue in iOS 9.3, which is expected to be released at Apple's March event.

If you think breaches are the only issue you have to worry about regarding HIPAA enforcement, you're wrong, according to David M. Vaughn of Vaughn & Associates, LLC, in Louisiana. Vaughn presented Compliance for Success: OIG and HIPAA at the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians' annual meeting last weekend in New Orleans.
Of all the HIPAA cases the government reported so far, fines range from $50K to about $2.3 million, according to Vaughn. If you analyze those cases, about half of the penalty amounts were related not to the breaches themselves, but the organizations' failures to produce written HIPAA policies and procedures, written risk assessments or HIPAA training certificates for employees.
In other words, if you have a breach but can prove to the government that you took the required steps to prevent one, the fine you end up paying is significantly less severe.
That's not all of the valuable advice Vaughn, who has to date defended about 10 alleged HIPAA infractions, shared with attendees. Consider the following best practices:
Ensure your business associate agreements (BAA) include an indemnity clause. What this clause states is that if your business associate (BA) is responsible for a breach, that the BA is responsible for paying any fines. Many BAs will attempt to pass agreements that lack an indemnity clause so that the healthcare organization will be left paying the penalty or refuse to sign a BAA that includes the indemnity clause. "If they won't sign, find somebody who will," Vaughn said. "It's a big deal because there are literally hundreds of thousands of dollars at risk here."
Obtain cyberliability protection. Because of the risk of vendors who handle your protected health information (PHI) going out of business, Vaughn recommended practices not only obtain cyberliability insurance for their own organizations, but also and make sure BAs you work with carry $1 million in cyberliability coverage. "That protects you in case they go broke," he said.
Encrypt all PHI-containing equipment. "If it houses PHI, if it smells of PHI, you've got to encrypt it," Vaughn said. This includes cell phones, tablets, work stations, thumb drives and any other electronic data. "Is it required? No. But in half of the cases we're going to look at, people got into trouble because was some sort of device that was unencrypted that got stolen or lost." What's more, if your computer does get stolen and it's encrypted, you don't have to report to the government a breach of an unsecured piece equipment--because you did in fact secure it.
Create policies on removing records from the office. "In the compliance policies I do, there are specific policies about how long you can have records in your vehicle and what they have to be in," Vaughn said. He recommends policies requiring that employees keep any records leaving the office in a locked briefcase or car trunk, and for no more than 15 minutes at a time. "These are the policies that the government wants you to think about, because you're increasing the risk that somebody will steal something if you leave it unattended for two hours at a time."
Set rules about removable devices. Clarify in your policies who is authorized to remove devices containing PHI from the office and under what circumstances, Vaughn said, adding that you may want to avoid using thumb drives altogether. "One of the things for me in my office, since I deal with auditing records all the time--I've got PHI all over my office--is that I don't allow thumb drives in my office. It's just too easy to walk off with them. And because they're so small, they could easily get lost."
Conduct adequate risk assessments. At one time, Vaughn created risk assessments himself in about four hours. But today, the complexity of the process and number of devices and systems to analyze really requires healthcare organizations to hire a third-party expert to conduct the risk assessment, he said. Further, don't forget that after your initial risk assessment, you're also required to conduct periodic risk assessments going forward. "It's not one and done when it comes to risk assessments," he said.

Toyota Prius will soon be up against a fierce challenger as Honda is now placing the finishing touches to the next-generation 2012 Civic Hybrid. Honda is overhauling the entire Civic lineup but the hybrid model is being prioritized over the conventionally powered Civic.
That is why the 2012 Civic Hybrid is confirmed to go on sale in Japan next year but there's still no date set for the start of sales of the "normal" Civic.
Sources say that Honda is aiming for an evolution rather than a revolution with the next Civic. The current model has been restyled to have a rounder overall profile but there were no major changes to the design, size or market positioning.
The US market will receive Honda's sedan and Si coupe body styles, which will be unveiled this January at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. According to a source in Tokyo, Honda's biggest challenge currently is to come up with a new eco champ that can steal sales away from the Prius. This means that the redesigned Civic Hybrid will be the lead vehicle in the new strategy.
Once again, Honda will be using its unique, home-grown IMA hybrid system, similar to what's used in the CR-Z.
By next year, the Civic Hybrid will move up from the current 1.3 liters to 1.5 liters. It will be the first Honda hybrid to make use of lithium-ion batteries, which considerably extends the car's EV driving range.
A downside to the current Civic Hybrid with the NI-MH battery pack is that it can barely run a considerable distance in silent, electric-only mode, like the Prius.
Lotus engineering, a consultancy arm of Lotus, the world renowned British car maker, and Oaktec are joining forces to work on Honda Hybrid Rally car. They are aiming to put this fuel efficient and less polluting car on the race track for rally racing and circuits.
Recognized for its electric and hybrid vehicle engineering expertise, Lotus will provide the technical know-how to Oaktec so that the petrol based electric hybrid car makes full use of its potential on the race tracks.
Lotus will look into battery engine system and work on it to enhance the performance as well as the efficiency of the hybrid vehicle. The Honda IMA Hybrid technology provides a wonderful combination of high fuel-efficiency and potent horsepower endowment, which makes the Civic Hybrid an ideal candidate for race and rally application.
CVT which stands for Continuously Variable Transmission is the technology behind the right balance of delivering maximum performance while maintaining fuel efficiency, whilst in race and rally conditions.
CVT in very simple terms keeps auto-judging the drive conditions to deliver the right mix of power and efficiency through a computer controlled transmission system. CEO of Lotus Group, Mike Kimberley says that Lotus engineering is proud to have an impeccable record and they have effectively delivered hybrid models before, on the roads and this time for the race tracks.
He adds that Lotus' Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Technologies Group cater to their large client base consistently and this association with Oaktec reinforces the belief in the expertise and skill of Lotus in the field of hybrid manufacturing.
According to Paul Andrews, the Senior Partner of Oaktec, they have good experience with hybrid cars and they even won Honda Insight in F1000 Class A Championship, 2006. Going further he says that extracting a race winning performance from a hybrid vehicle is a tough exercise but Lotus' engineering expertise and skill in this field will be of assistance to them. H
e informs that on 28th September Honda Civic Hybrid would be racing at Dunlop Max Sport Cup at Rockingham circuit for the first time. Phil Barker, chief Engineer of Hybrid and Electric Vehicle technologies group is of the view that despite going Green, the hybrid cars can match the performance of other cars.
He says that these cars are proven on the roads and the same success has to be achieved on the race track and for that some technological modification should be made which will include amendment to the electrical specification and control system.

text: Most hand-written letters have obviously been replaced by emails, but thank you notes are one form of snail mail that should never go out of style. My mom instilled this mentality in me and I'm glad she did because they are more personal and thoughtful than shooting off a quick email. I love receiving and sending cute thank you notes. Shopping for stationery is so much fun because there are a variety of styles with everything from pretty prints to minimalist monograms. I enjoyed looking for wedding thank you notes and was excited to start using them after my bridal shower. The gold foil trend goes perfect with our wedding colors (blush and gold)!

How to pass the law enforcement written exam
February 28, 2012
Taking the law enforcement written exam is one of the first steps toward becoming a member of a police force. The initial exam is part of the screening process that police departments use to find out if the applicant has the cognitive skills for a career as a law enforcement officer. While the exam varies according to the location of the law enforcement agency, the test is usually comprised of questions that measure reading comprehension, math, spelling, grammar, problem solving and memorization.
Some departments use a basic civil service test and will be happy to give you information about the basics of the law enforcement written exam, so it's always a good idea to ask. Ask them for a recommendation for a good study guide. Get as much information as you can, as this will give you the best idea of the areas you need to study to prepare for the test. Because passing the exam is imperative if you're going to proceed toward your career goal in law enforcement, it's important to study for it as much as you're able. Just because you got good grades in high school or college, don't assume you're going to ace the law enforcement written exam.
Most departments use a law enforcement written exam that has multiple choice answers because they're the easiest to grade, but the test can also require essays, true or false and fill in the blank answers. Many websites and books will give you sample tests you can use as study guides. Using these will give you a good idea of your strengths and weaknesses and help you target areas you need to review. If you have trouble with spelling or math, for instance, there are many tutorial sites online that can help you.
Don't wait until the last minute to start studying. Cramming for the law enforcement written exam isn't the best way to get a good score. Set aside a time every day to study and have all of the necessary materials organized and ready to avoid wasting time. Quiz yourself on answers or have a friend or relative help you. Studying in increments over a several weeks achieves the best result. The more you study and review, the calmer you'll be on testing day and the better you'll score on the test.
Make sure you get a good night's sleep on the night before the law enforcement written exam. Eat a well balanced meal beforehand to avoid the energy crash that comes with hunger or a consuming a sugar-laden meal. Give yourself plenty of time to get to the testing site. Latecomers can be denied access to the test, which means that you'll have to wait until the next time the test is administered, which could be months away.
Be sure to read the questions on the law enforcement written exam carefully so you fully understand how to answer. If the answer sheet is a scan-type in which you mark the correct answer with a pencil, make sure you erase fully if you change your answer, so the scanner is able to read it properly. If you don't know an answer, leave it and come back to later. The correct answer may come to you or might be indicated by another test question.
Lastly, go over the test questions and your answers before you hand it in to ensure you've completed it to the best of your ability. With this kind of attention to detail, plus a focused effort of studying, you shouldn't have a problem passing the law enforcement written exam.

During his October 22 to 26 visit to Japan, China, and South Korea, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell will likely seek to bolster regional cooperation on confronting North Korea's nuclear weapons program. Since last year, the United States-joined by China, South Korea, Japan and Russia in the Six-Party talks-has sought to bring North Korea to the negotiating table and to convince the country to abandon its illicit nuclear weapons program. The talks, which have produced little concrete progress so far, were to resume in September but are on hold due to Pyongyang's reluctance to meet before the U.S. presidential elections. On this visit to Asia, Secretary Powell may still achieve some progress on the multilateral talks, though other issues are likely to arise.
The two main issues Powell will discuss in his talks with Japanese leaders in Tokyo are the search for a diplomatic solution to North Korea's nuclear ambitions and realignment of the U.S. forces in Japan. Secretary Powell will have the opportunity to reaffirm the strength of the U.S.-Japan alliance, which has developed into a global partnership in recent years. Powell could highlight any of several major Japanese contributions to that partnership:
Japan's strong, consistent stance against Pyongyang's efforts to pursue illicit nuclear weapon development;
Japan's unswerving support for Iraqi reconstruction, including pledges for over $5 billion and its dispatch of 1,000 Self-Defense Force personnel to Iraq;
Japan's strong stance in the global war on terrorism, including participation in the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) to halt the international transfer of dangerous arms and materials to terrorist organizations and rogue states; and
Japan's continued cooperation missile defense.
In Beijing, Secretary Powell will likely discuss North Korea's nuclear weapons program and the tensions in the Taiwan Strait. Powell will no doubt relay Tokyo's deepening concern about Chinese oil exploration in Japanese waters. Powell should expect Chinese leaders to speak bluntly to him, and if there is to be clarity in this dialogue, Powell needs to speak plainly in return. Several things need to be said:
Warn Beijing that its continuing, vocal, and unqualified support for North Korea's quest for a nuclear weapons capability belies Beijing's claims that China values a denuclearized Korean peninsula;
Repeat that Washington's "One China Policy" differs from Beijing's "One China Principle" and must not be misinterpreted as an acknowledgement that Beijing has any right in international law or otherwise to use force against Taiwan;
As the State Department has done in the past, call on China to "renounce the use of force regarding Taiwan" and urge both sides to "pursue dialogue as soon as possible through any available channels, without preconditions" and "on an equal basis;"
To that end, he might point out that Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian's October 10 National Day speech offers, as State Department spokesman Richard Boucher put it, "an opportunity here to get back to a cross-strait dialogue that should be looked at by all the parties;"
Remind Beijing leaders that the level of U.S. arms sales and military exchanges with Taiwan are linked to the level of threat that China poses to Taiwan; and
Caution China not to test America's commitment to the U.S.-Japan Mutual Security Treaty with illegal incursions into Japanese waters.
South Korea
North Korea's nuclear program will likely dominate Secretary Powell's talks with South Korean leaders in Seoul. In addition, Powell will have to contend with uneasiness over plans to restructure U.S. forces on the Korean peninsula. Unlike in Japan, the strength and durability of the U.S.-ROK alliance has come into question in recent years. Thus, Powell should reiterate the value of the bilateral relationship and emphasize areas of cooperation:
Laud Seoul's dispatch of over 3,600 troops to Iraq, which makes South Korea the second largest U.S. coalition partner after Great Britain;
Reconfirm U.S. support for the bilateral alliance, including America's commitment to the defense of South Korea in the form of continued U.S. troop presence on the Korean peninsula;
Also, reiterate that the reduction and relocation of troops does not undermine the deterrence against North Korean aggression or reduce the capabilities of American defenses;
State clearly that the United States does not oppose reconciliation between the two Koreas or want to interfere with this process.
Still, make clear as well that because North Korea's pursuit of nuclear weapons is a real threat that jeopardizes not only the alliance partners but also regional neighbors, Seoul should maintain a more consistent stance against Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions; and
Emphasize the continued importance of U.S.-ROK economic relations, and encourage further cooperation through a possible Free Trade Agreement.
While the world's attention is focused on the U.S. presidential race and on Iraq, Secretary Powell's Northeast Asia trip deserves some notice as well. His visits to three capitals will play an important and lasting role in smoothing out disagreements and tensions in the region by garnering continued support and cooperation to resolve the biggest threats to stability and peace in the region-North Korea's nuclear programs and China-Taiwan relations.

text: For over 20 years, the Elsbeth II, a 110-ft. Smith Maritime tugboat, has done extensive deep sea towing and delivered military vessels around the world. When it came time for Smith Maritime owner Captain Latham Smith to replace one of Elsbeth II's three engines, he relied on a Gulf Coast distributor for help. Laborde provided the perfect fit for Elsbeth II - a Mitsubishi heavy-duty marine engine. "My new Mitsubishi engine performance far exceeds my expectations," said Capt. Smith. "The maneuverability and horsepower it provides are outstanding." A 6,000 hp ocean tug with a shallow draft and triple screws, the Elsbeth II needed the Mitsubishi S16R-Y1MPTA engine from Laborde to complement its heavy-duty design and operations. At 1,600 rpm, the engine provides 1,568 hp. "I love Mitsubishi's simple design and power," said Smith. "The engine was easy to install and the crew has no problem servicing it while underway." Complete with a double drum towing winch, two 7,000 lb. anchors, a two ton hydraulic crane and an extensive assortment of automatic controls, alarms, electronics, searchlights and spare parts, the Elsbeth II is well- equipped for any situation. She carries a crew of up to 7 and has berthing for 11. Smith Maritime was founded in 1968 when Capt. Smith built his first oceangoing boat, the tug Elsbeth, with a little help from his friends. From the successful operation of that initial boat, aboard which he and his wife raised their 5 children, his company has grown into an international ocean towing and salvage service. Smith has since constructed three more tugboats, including the Elsbeth II. For more than 25 years, Laborde Products has provided the marine and industrial markets with a wide range of high-quality products and parts. They distribute Mitsubishi, Yanmar and Hatz diesel engines and also package their own diesel-powered generators, pumps, pressure washers and other custom diesel equipment. "I enjoy the excellent relationship I have with Laborde," said Smith. "They offer superior service and support." As Elsbeth II's other engines need replacing, Smith said he plans to use Mitsubishi models from Laborde. One of the last family-owned salvage and rescue businesses, Smith Maritime vessels operate around the world, but primarily between the U.S., Caribbean and South America. Their services include ocean and coastal towing, dock and facility construction, pipe and cable laying, submersible operations, cargo and dredge operations, salvage and rescue plus harbor, anchor and buoy handling.

I got this during the Christmas season 2012 at SM MOA and it was three lip balms for, uhh, I totally forgot. But it's regular price is P89.00/lip balm. This has been in the market a long time now and I'm assuming some of you have tried this already. I just have to share this with you since this is my ultimate favorite lip balm since I was in my 2nd year in college---2011. Going back, I got this for a good price or was this just an impulse buy? I really forgot but three products(yes, three. I am currently using the third one so it's not in the picture) in one bundle is a great buy.
It's available in a lot of flavors too. I got the grape, strawberry and apple(not in the photo) flavors. This comes in five flavors including lemon(not in the photo) and black currant(not in the photo).
- Has SPF 15
- Moisturizing
- Doesn't darken lips
- Has a variety of flavors to choose from
- Cooling effect is love!
- Affordable
- Lasts up to five months (daily use!)
- None that I could think of but is always out of stock here in Cebu.

It was a wash yesterday as I went 7-7-2 overall and 4-3-1 in top plays. Let's have a better one today.
UCLA -1.5 over USC: The road team is 11-4 ATS the last 15 in this series and USC is 8-22-1 ATS their last 31 at home. Now that we got that out of the way. UCLA is in revenge mode for this one for a home OT loss earlier in the year to the men of troy. USC has surprised in the Pac-12 this year, but they are still not up to the level of a UCLA team that seem to really be gelling at just the right time. UCLA has had plenty of time to think about revenge as they have had 8 day to think about it and behind another strong performance from their super freshmen they should get a nice win here.
DUKE -16.5 over Boston College: The Eagles have surprised at times this year and their last meeting vs Duke was one of those times as they took the Blue Devils down to the wire at home, before losing by 1 point. Even though Duke won that game I still see this as payback. The Blue Devils have seen all the upsets this year and with the first game being as close as it was you can bet that they will be fully focused here and not take this team lightly at all. This game will resemble the blowout loss that the Eagles suffered at as Duke wins this one by 20+.
Florida State -1.5 over VIRGINIA TECH: (Added) Neither team is playing all that well right now, but the Seminoles are still the better team here as they are 6-7 in the ACC, compared to Virginia Tech's 2-11 mark. The Hokies have lost 9 in a row, including their last 5 at home. In those last 5 home losses they have been outscored by 14.4 ppg. Florida State is no juggernaut and they have had problems scoring on the road (57.4 ppg), bu fear not because the Hokies have allowed 71.8 ppg in their last 5 at home and 75.6 ppg in their last 5 overall. FSU get's back on track with a solid win in Hokie land as their offense wakes up and runs away with this one down the stretch.
3 TEAM 8 POINT TEASER--- Michigan State +11, Charlotte +9.5 & UCLA +6.5 (Added)
CHARLOTTE +1.5 over Temple
Michigan/ Illinois Over 135 (Added)
Michigan State/ Ohio State Under 130 (Added)
Pittsburgh/ St John's Over 125
Georgia Tech/ Virginia Over 111 (Added)

Audiophiles, prepare yourselves, because the sound of music is about to get so much better. The California-based Ultimate Ears may offer a range of wireless speakers, but their customized in-ear monitors are where it's really at. Founded in 1995, UE headphones are used by top touring musicians all over the world and by using their website, you can get customized earbuds to fit perfectly inside your own ear too.
Dara Artisans recently launched a brand new collection called Bhutan for the Collector, which highlights unique one-of-a-kind textiles that have been woven by artisans in Bhutan. Made exclusively for Dara, the colorful museum-quality textiles can be presented in a variety of ways, from being hung on a wall as a work of art to being draped over a table.
If you weren't in attendance at April's Design Week in Milan you may not know about Rossato's newest Home Collection, which was designed by Hangar Design Group. Starring the highly customizable Hampton cabinet and the Carlton chair, the collection may be brief, but each furniture piece is geometrically stylish enough to stand on its own.
No matter what type of phone you're currently using to hail an Uber ride, it probably isn't as cool as the Xiaomi Mi Note. While the impressive smartphone isn't on sale just yet, it will be next week in Asia. And thanks to the recent collaboration between Xiaomi and Uber, Singapore customers won't even have to go to the store to buy it.
There's no way Marshall's first smartphone isn't an homage to The Clash's infamous third album, London Calling, but that makes us love it even more. Without warning yesterday, the brand announced their plans to release London, a retro-styled Android phone that will immediately be a hit with diehard music lovers.
Spending a Friday night playing backgammon may not sound like a crazy night to some, but not all of us want to make regrettable decisions in a dimly-lit bar every weekend. Plus, when your backgammon gaming table is designed to hold a champagne bucket and two flutes, you can still get your drink on in the comforts of your own home—which is way classier anyhow.
There's a stereotype that women love blankets no matter the temperature outside and we can't speak for everyone, but at least one of us in the JustLuxe office has a truck full of them in her living room.
In an age where people are more obsessed with themselves as ever before, we always have a camera and take photos of ourselves constantly. While we have definitely taken it too far in the past (looking at you, selfie sticks), sometimes a gadget comes around that we can actually see not only fulfilling our self-involved needs, but also some very practical ones.
Not long ago, entrepreneur Michael Wilkens found himself touring Denmark's Egeskov Castle, when he spotted an old leather suitcase on display. Falling in love with the aesthetic and wanting a modern version for himself, Wilkens soon discovered that such a product didn't exist in today's market, so he set out to make it himself.
It's official, Amazon definitely knows how to create video advertisements, because the above clip for the Echo is incredibly convincing. Able to communicate with you just like Siri does, this speaker has its own brain named Alexa and is designed to adapt to your personality and needs.
Bespoke leather luggage brings out the Audrey Hepburn or Clark Gable in all of us. It's got a charm all of its own and its good looks age beautifully. It's classy and a classic for all ages.
The Devialet Phantom is being hailed as the most powerful compact speaker ever seen, pushing out tunes at 99 decibels (which according to Bloomberg, is the same experience as sitting on a running motorcycle). The 3,000-watt speaker starts at $1,900 and to be honest, its specs may be a little intimidating if you don't know anything about electronics.
An electric unicycle may not be new to the scene anymore, but done well and it's certainly still cool. Capable of reaching a top speed of just over 13mph, the Ninebot One only takes 1-4 hours to charge and promises to be smarter than anything else on the market. Featuring an iridescent lamp running around the exterior, you can program your scooter to glow and blink whatever color you want via the accompanying app.
There's a difference between a dad who likes the occasional Scotch and a dad who considers himself a connoisseur, and this flask is for the latter. Made by UK-based SWIG, the limited edition Dark Havana Flask (also called the Scottish Heritage Flask) is pretty much as good as you can get.
All scooters are not created equal and the Vespa 946 Emporio Armani is here to prove it. As the result of a collaboration between Giorgio Armani and Piaggio, the Vespa 946 is named for 1946, the year the scooter became iconic. The limited edition design features a stylishly subdued color palate that centers on shades of grey and when under certain light, the occasional pop of green shines through to give the overall look a pearly iridescence.
