[quote:Anonymous Coward 385176:MV82NDMyMzlfOTgyMTg5NF8yMDAzNTQ4Ng==] Spectrum Blue, why are you so defensive about this subject? Do you have a belief in or experience with what you would consider good aliens? [/quote]
Original Message
This a MUST read for anyone interested in the alien subject, and especially for the fruitloops who think in terms of friendly ETs. Read and LEARN.
snip from part two:
Therefore, we have been sent in the place of those who came before us to offer help to humanity. We work together in our united cause. We do not represent a great military power but more a secret and holy alliance. We do not want to see the kind of affairs that exist in the Greater community perpetrated here within your world. We do not want to see humanity become a client state of a greater network of powers. We do not want to see humanity lose its freedom and its self-determination. These are real risks. Because of this, we encourage you to consider our words deeply, without fear, if that is possible, and with the kind of conviction and determination that we know resides in all human hearts.
Today and tomorrow and the day after, great activity is underway and will be underway to establish a network of influence over the human race by those who are visiting the world for their own purposes. They feel that they are coming here to save the world from humanity. Some even believe they are here to save humanity from itself. They feel that they are in the right and do not consider that their actions are inappropriate or unethical. According to their ethics, they are doing what is considered to be reasonable and important. However, for all freedom-loving beings, such an approach cannot be justified.
We observe the visitors' activities, which are growing. Every year, there are more of them here. They are coming from afar. They are bringing supplies. They are deepening their engagement and involvement. They are establishing stations of communication in many places in your solar system. They are observing all of your initial forays into space, and they will counter and destroy anything that they feel will interfere with their activities. They are seeking to establish control not only of your world but of the area around your world. This is because there are competing forces here. Each represents the alliance of several races.
Now let us address the last of the four areas that we spoke of in our first discourse. This has to do with the visitors interbreeding with the human species. Let us give you a bit of history first. Many thousands of years ago, in your time, several races came to interbreed with humanity to give humanity a greater intelligence and adaptability. This led to the rather sudden emergence of what we understand is called "Modern Man." This has given you dominance and power in your world. This occurred long ago.
However, the interbreeding program that is occurring now is not the same at all. It is being undertaken by a different set of beings and by different alliances. Through interbreeding, they are seeking to establish a human being who will be part of their association yet who can survive within your world and who can have a natural affinity with the world. Your visitors cannot live on the surface of your world. They must either seek shelter underground, which they are doing, or they must live aboard their own craft, which they often keep hidden in large bodies of water.
They want to interbreed with humanity to protect their interests here, which are primarily the resources of your world. They want to have human allegiance assured, and so for several generations they have been involved in an interbreeding program, which within the last twenty years has become quite extensive. Their purpose is twofold. First, as we have mentioned, the visitors want to create a human-like being who can live within your world but who will be bonded to them and who will have a greater set of sensitivities and abilities. The second purpose of this program is to influence all those that they encounter and to encourage people to assist them in their undertaking. The visitors want and need human assistance. This furthers their program in all respects. They consider you valuable. However, they do not consider you to be their peers or their equals. Useful, that is how you are perceived. So, in all whom they will encounter, in all whom they will take, the visitors will seek to engender this sense of their superiority, their value and the worth and the significance of their endeavors in the world. The visitors will tell all whom they contact that they are here for the good, and they will assure those that they have captured that they need not fear. And with those who seem particularly receptive, they will attempt to establish alliances—a shared sense of purpose, even a shared sense of identity and family, of heritage and destiny.
In their program, the visitors have studied human physiology and psychology very extensively, and they will take advantage of what people want, particularly those things that people want but have not been able to gain for themselves, such as peace and order, beauty and tranquility. These will be offered and some people will believe. Others will simply be used as is needed.
Here it is necessary to understand that the visitors believe that this is entirely appropriate in order to preserve the world. They feel that they are doing humanity a great service, and so they are wholehearted in their persuasions. Unfortunately, this demonstrates a great truth about the Greater Community—that true Wisdom and true Knowledge are as rare in the universe as they must seem within your world. It is natural for you to hope and to expect that other races have outgrown deviousness, selfish pursuits, competition and conflict. But, alas, this is not the case. Greater technology does not raise the mental and spiritual strength of individuals.
Today there are many people who are being taken against their will repeatedly. Because humanity is very superstitious and seeks to deny things that it cannot understand, this unfortunate activity is being carried on with considerable success. Even now, there are hybrid individuals, part-human, part-alien, walking in your world. There are not many of them, but their numbers will grow in the future. Perhaps you will meet one some day. They will look the same as you but be different. You will think they are human beings, but something essential will seem to be missing in them, something that is valued within your world. It is possible to be able to discern and to identify these individuals,
but in order to do so, you would have to become skissed in the Mental Environment and learn what Knowledge and Wisdom mean in the Greater Community.
and this:
We hope and we trust that none of you who may hear this message will think that these intrusions into human life are beneficial. Those who are being affected will be influenced to think that these encounters are beneficial, both for themselves and for the world. People's spiritual aspirations, their desire for peace and harmony, family and inclusion will all be addressed by the visitors. These things that represent something so special about the human family are, without Wisdom and preparation, a sign of your great vulnerability. Only those individuals who are strong with Knowledge and Wisdom could see the deception behind these persuasions. Only they are in a position to see the deception that is being perpetrated upon the human family. Only they can protect their minds against the influence that is being cast in the Mental Environment in so many places in the world today. Only they will see and know.

Joshua "JJ" Miller participated in the Kids' Run at the 2010 Aspen Medical Products San Diego Triathlon Challenge (SDTC) a mere two months after recovering from open heart surgery. Joshua has endured many medical procedures in his short life. In addition to a serious congenital heart condition, JJ was born missing the tibias in his legs caused by a rare genetic disorder known as Mesometic Dysplasia with Hirschsprung's Disease. JJ's father is also a double above-knee amputee born with the same disorder. After being part of the 2010 SDTC, JJ's mother said, "Nothing has been able to hold him back since," and JJ became more involved with CAF, representing CAF in various presentations to help raise awareness of the foundation.
Team JJ
In the summer of 2011, JJ attended a camp where the Millers met a group of volunteers interested in JJ and his involvement with CAF. After learning about both JJ and the foundation, the volunteers, with JJ's parents, formed "Team JJ" - a fundraising team that raced in the 2011 SDTC and raised money for CAF in JJ's name.
"The whole event was a big confidence booster, even for us as parents," said Laura Miller, mother of the youngest participant - two and a half year old J.J. Miller. "I used to hide his [J.J.'s] legs from people in public and try to make him as inconspicuous as possible. At the triathlon, J.J. was a superstar and he was among others just like him. For that we are thankful."
Read A Letter From JJ's Mom »
JJ was one of the 40 kids that participated in the Challenged Athletes Kids Run, a two-distance run that concludes with the kids crossing an actual finish line, most for the first-time. It was a sight that spectators will carry with them for years as the joy on the kids faces could change the world.
The Challenged Athletes Foundation's® (CAF) Aspen Medical Products San Diego Triathlon Challenge (SDTC) has a well-deserved reputation as "The Best Day in Triathlon" for a reason. It is the culmination of a year full of endurance-testing events and life-changing moments, and the day where able-bodied and challenged athletes alike come together to prove that the desire to push yourself lives inside each and every one of us - regardless of circumstance.
The SDTC is a celebration of abilities like no other in the world, featuring more than 200 challenged athletes, challenged kids, wounded troops and 500+ able-bodied athletes, celebrities, sports legends and professional athletes. Take on the new "challenge distance" triathlon with a 1-mile swim, 44-mile bike and 10-mile run; power through the 24 Hour Fitness Tour de Cove, a 4.5 hour stationary cycling marathon; or support CAF the low-impact way in the Kaiser Permanente Thrive 5-K Fitness walk. Whichever event you choose, be prepared to move and be moved by the stories you'll hear and the friends you'll make.
JJ and his family hope to continue representing CAF as JJ grows up and inspire others with disabilities. JJ's father who was also born without tibias says that he is inspired everyday by JJ's disposition and enthusiasm to run and be active.
A Letter From JJ's Mom
"Hi! I'm Joshua Miller and I'm three years old. I was at CAF." This is the extent of Joshua's autobiography without being prompted. Joshua was found at 20 months in utero to be missing his tibias on his legs due to a genetic condition that his father has as well. With the help of a geneticist we learned that the extremely rare condition is called Mesomelic Dysplasia with Hirschsprung's Disease. It was also learned a week later that Joshua had a serious congenital heart condition called double outlet right ventricle which was not related to the first diagnosis. There was not a guarantee that Joshua would survive birth and arrangements were made to deliver him at Loma Linda University Children's Medical Center where he could receive the best medical care. Joshua was born and spent 3 1/2 weeks in the NICU undergoing surgery for the Hirschsprung's and getting through some rough times.
Joshua has endured many medical procedures in his short life. He has had about 8 surgeries and one scary event that was a pivotal time was when he had to have open heart surgery to put in a shunt for a pulmonary stenosis. Complications were not expected but to our dismay Joshua needed CPR two times the following day after surgery. We were called to his bedside to find that doctors had been performing CPR on our sweet little baby for 30 minutes. It became apparent to us that we were called to his bedside in the chance that he wouldn't survive. Helpless and in shock all we could do was pray for our son. We are thankful to the Lord that he survived and that we will be able to raise him.
Doctors ran a gammet of tests to see if Joshua had any acute brain damage and observation of Joshua and follow-ups with nuerologists seem to indicate that there has been no lasting negative affects on his cognitive development. He had and still has eating issues stemming from the surgery, CPR, and or intubations. Joshua used an NG tube for nutrition for about 5 months and then had a Mickey G-tube for about 2 years because he stopped nursing, had a severe gag reflex, and vomiting issues.
In spite of all of the physical hardships, surgeries, hospital stays and pain that Joshua has had to endure we have seen that he is an exceptional little boy with a wonderful disposition. He is a spirited, enthusiastic, energetic, happy 3 year old that lights up the room when he enters it. People gravitate towards him and he is incredibly socialable. This past summer Joshua met some volunteers at a camp and after interacting with Joshua and hearing about CAF they were eager to help us with our vision. In July of 2011 Team JJ was officially formed in Joshua's name (Joshua James). Joshua has since participated in presentations to help raise money for CAF. Joshua has continued to improve walking with his prosthetics and recently received his first pair of feet and shoes. He participated in the Kids' Fun Run at this year's SDTC and he along with his entire team raised about $30,000 including entry fees.

Microsoft Trying to Overtake Apple iPad By Viewing Tablet as PC
It seems that Microsoft has taken up seriously the competition with iPad in its bid to bring an end to the domination of Apple in the competing zone. In the process of achievement of such coveted goal, Microsoft views the tablet as a PC. Unfortunately, it could be a repetition of the tablet PC history that may not be good for the industry.
New Interface
To attract both professionals and average users alike, Microsoft has now announced Windows 8 even before Windows 7 has been firmly established and they are recommending it for all types of PCs including the tablets. In essence; Windows 8 has a lot of similarities with its predecessor, the Windows 7. But in the process they seem to forget that full blown computers are different from the tablet PCs.
Microsoft Tablet PC – Replacement for Full Blown Computers?
Mistaken Concept
In fact, the concept that drives Microsoft seems to be grossly mistaken. They think that end users desire to have the full blown computers in their tablet PCs. Fact also remains that tablet PCs that were marketed based on such concepts failed miserably and these concepts are not ideal for the consumer tablets as they are viewed today.
Apple Success
On the other hand the iPad marketed by Apple was not only a resounding success but it was able to build up a market of its own because of the fact that Apple never tried to replace the mainstream PCs with it but made it a user-friendly and extremely convenient tablet with remarkable features.
Bottom Line
Bottom line of all these is that if Microsoft really desires to compete Apple in their own forte then they have to realize that success of Apple iPad was because it was a marvelously pure mobile device and not a replacement for the regular laptop or desktop PCs. That is why the original tablet designed by Microsoft has insignificant impact on the consumer market though it is around for a decade now and in contrast Apple iPad has millions of users.
And the sooner Microsoft realizes this, the better it would be for all concerned.

California and -- not looking for creative solutions to its budget problem obviously one way to raise money may be to legalize online poke -- Experts estimate that could be forty billion dollars worth of bets.
Placed on the online poke -- in any given yeah across the country that is online sites hoping to set up shop in California.
-- are offering that state -- an increase of moxie if California becomes the first state to legalize online Coca.
Joining us now is -- mind you know -- if you watch that program often.
He's the man who wrote the book house advantage he's the CEO all but ten X -- Jeff welcome back good to see against.
Experiment Stewart now the number that shocked all of us laws forty billion dollars -- yeah placed on the table lacks the bet on online poke -- in any one given yeah.
Is being offered a lot of money to allow legalized online poke cut in that state and they will -- get a portion very small portion of the forty billion dollars.
Other numbers right.
Well I mean it's I think those numbers are hard to know for sure I -- I I'd I think they're definitely very -- I mean -- back in the day when they're trying to estimates.
Something like sports gambling they were saying the number in that you know that was gambled illegally was 200 billion -- number that was gamble legally is two billion so.
Amid a general the the amount of money that's -- -- these things is hard to estimate but I wouldn't be surprised at all it was forty billion.
And if it were forty billion and if California legalized online -- How much would flow how much of that forty billion flows as you know the house take if it was going to California how much.
I mean I think there's going to be a fair amount I mean obviously the population Californians use that culture there is very much around gambling and I think that.
Once you legalize it and you make it easier I mean there -- there's been a big ground -- people that.
Have fled those sort of online situations that's become harder and harder to fund them in the crack down and worrying about.
Being you know prosecuted for for being part of it so I think that definitely there is an opportunity for California to see a large portion of that forty billion.
It the it wouldn't be legal by California.
But it still illegal online -- would still be illegal at the federal level.
And there's some question as to whether or not the feds would actually allow California to do this what's your opinion.
Well I mean I'm guessing that just from the stuff that Obama has as sad end and the you know the recent things that.
Around what the court is that I mean I think -- California will be allowed to do it and I think that there's there's just too much opportunity if you look at you know what -- twenty years ago whereas almost unspeakable further because he knows outside of Atlantic City in Las Vegas to.
What the situation is now with you know its casinos and what over thirty states close to forty states.
I mean I think that this this is direction that things are going in and I think that the idea that.
You're gonna be able to stop people from playing you know gambling online play poker online is this sort of ludicrous is real and -- -- that it Jeffrey.
I -- -- -- blackjack -- but do you play online poker.
I do not but you're not would you be tempted if it will legal in California.
Yeah I think I would I don't think I would play.
I would be pumping millions of dollars through their but I think that I would play recreational and have some fun with -- absolutely you still Brandon is Las Vegas.
Yeah I even recently has that the -- involved -- hotel and I was trying to play blackjack with some friends and within you know five minutes are sitting down at a table -- casino manager and down its army.
That I could play any game there except for blackjack.
That facial recognition technology you know against -- every time.
Jeff mafia CEO of ten X these days thanks for joining us Jeff -- -- against it on out thank you.

Box-and-whisker plots
Constructing a box-and-whisker plot Constructing a box and whisker plot to analyze data.
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- The owner of a restaurant wants to find out where his patrons are coming from
- one day he decided to gather data about the distance in miles that people commuted to get to his restaurant
- People reported the following distances traveled. So here are all the distances traveled.
- He wants to create a graph that helps him understand the spread of distances
- this is a key word, the spread of distances and the median distance, that people travel.
- What kind of graph should he create?
- So, the answer to what kind of graph he should create should be more straight forward
- than the actual creation of the graph which we will also do
- but he's trying to visualize the spread of information and at
- the same time he wants the median, so what graph captures both of that information?
- Well, a box and whisker plot! So let's try to draw a box and whisker plot!
- To draw a box and whisker plot we need to come up with the median and we'll also see the median of the two
- halves of the data as well, and whenever we try to take the median of something, it's
- really helpful to order our data.
- So let's attempt to order our data. So what is the
- smallest number here? Let's see, there's one 2, so we mark it off. And then we have another 2
- so we got all the 2's. And then we have this 3, then we have this 3. I think we got all the 3's
- And then we have that 4, and then we have this 4
- Do we have any 5's? No, do we have any 6's? Yup, we have that 6.
- And that looks like the only 6. Any 7's? Yep, we have this 7 over here. And I just realized
- I missed this 1 so I'm going to put it at the beginning of the set, actually I missed two 1's.
- Both 1's are right at the beginning of the set.
- So I have: 1's, 2's, 3's, 4's, no 5's this is one 6, one 7, one 8
- Let's see, any 9's? No 9's. Any 10's? Yep, there's a 10.
- Any 11's? Yes, we have an 11. Any 12's? Nope.
- We have 14 and 15. We also have a 20 and 22.
- So, we've ordered all our data is should be relatively straightforward to find the middle of our
- data. The median. So how many data points we have?
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
- 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17
- So the middle number is the number that has 8 numbers larger than it
- and 8 numbers smaller than it. So let's think about it. One, two, three, four
- five, six, seven, eight. So the number 6 here
- is larger than eight of the values and if I did the calculations right
- it should be smaller than eight of the values, one, two, three, four
- five, six, seven, eight. So it is indeed
- it is indeed the median. Now when we take
- a box and whisker plot, the convention is we have our median and it is essentially dividing
- our data into two sets, now let's take the median of each of
- those sets, and the convetion is to take our median out and have the sets
- that are left over. Some times people leave it in, but the standard convention
- take this median out and look separately at this set and look separately at this set.
- So if we look at this first, the bottom half of our numbers essentially
- what's the median of these numbers?
- Well, we have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
- eight, data points. So we are actually gonna have two middle numbers.
- So the two middle numbers are this 2 and this 3
- three numbers less than these two and three numbers greater than them
- and so when we are looking for a median, we have this two middle numbers and we are taking the mean
- of these two numbers. So halfway between 2 and 3 is 2.5
- 2 plus 3 is 5. 5 divided by 2 is 2.5
- So here we have the median of this bottom half of 2.5.
- And then the middle of the top half, once again we have eight data points, so our
- middle two numbers are gonna be this 11 and this 14
- And so if we want to take the mean of these two numbers, 11 plus 14 is 25. Half of
- 25 is 12.5. 12.5 is exactly halfway in between 11 and 14.
- And now we have all the information we need to actually
- plot our box and whisker plot
- So let me draw a number line, so my best
- attempt at a number line. So that's my number line
- And let's say this over here is 0.
- I need to make sure I get up to 22 or beyond 22
- This is 0, this is 5, this is 10
- that could be 15, that could be 20
- this could be 25, we can keep going
- 30, maybe 35. So the first
- thing we might want to think about,there's several ways to draw it.
- We wanna think about the box part of the box and whisker
- Essentially represents the middle half of our data. So it's essentially
- trying to represent this data, right over here
- so the data between the two between the
- medians of the two halves. So this is the part we would represent
- with the box. So we would start right over here at this
- lower at this 2.5, this is essentially seperating
- the fist quartile from the second quartile, the first quarter of our numbers from the second quarter
- of our numbers. So let's put it over here, this is 2.5
- 2.5 is halfway between 0 and 5 so that's
- 2.5 and then up here we have 12.5
- and 12.5 is right over here
- It's right over here, 12.5
- This is halfway between, well halfway
- between 10 and 15 is 12.5
- 12.5 right over here, 12.5
- So that separates the third quartile from the fourth quartile
- and then our boxes, everything in between, so this is gonna be the middle half
- of our numbers, the middle half of our numbers, and we wanna
- show where the actual median is so that's actaully one of things we want to think about
- in our original.. When the owner of the restaurant
- how far people are travelling from. So the median is 6
- So we can plot it right over here
- this is about 6, that's a pink color.
- So this right over here, is 6. And then
- the whiskers of the box and whisker plot, essentially show us the range
- of our data, and so , let me do that.
- I will do it in a new color, how about orange?
- So essentially if we wanna see
- look the numbers go all the way up to 22
- this is 22 right over here, our numbers go all the way
- up to 22. Our numbers go all the way up to 22.
- And they go as low as 1
- 1 is right about here. They go as low
- as 1...
- So there you have it. We have our box and whisker plot. And you can see
- if you have a plot like this, just visually you can immediatly see
- what is the median? It is the middle of the box
- it shows the middle half, or how far spread is, the meat of the spread
- it shows beyond that, it shows the range, that goes way beyond
- that it goes. Or how far the total spread of our data
- is. So it gives us a pretty good sense of both the median and
- the spread of our data

Deep & Dark Ganache Cake Recipe
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1-1/2 cups hot brewed coffee
- 4 eggs
- 3 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup canola oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2-1/2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup baking cocoa
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1-1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1-1/2 cups buttermilk
- 16 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 5 teaspoons light corn syrup
- Line bottoms of three greased 8-in.-square baking pans with parchment paper; grease paper.
- Place chocolate in a small bowl. Pour hot coffee over chocolate; stir with a whisk until smooth. Cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs on high speed until lemon-colored. Gradually add the sugar, oil, vanilla and chocolate mixture, beating until well blended. In another bowl, mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt; add to chocolate mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition.
- Transfer to prepared pans. Bake at 325° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks; remove paper. Cool completely.
- For ganache, place chocolate in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream and corn syrup just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; stir with a whisk until smooth.
- Let stand at room temperature to cool and thicken slightly, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Mixture will be very soft, but will thicken when spread onto cake.)
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with 1/3 cup ganache. Repeat layers. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread remaining ganache over top and sides of cake. Yield: 24 servings.
Reviews for Deep & Dark Ganache Cake(26)
Sort By :
This recipe is very forgiving. We accidentally omitted the coffee/bittersweet chocolate mixture in the cake and it still turned out moist and chocolate-y. On top of that, we used two 9" layers instead of three 8"layers (which added lots more cooking time.) However, the ganache was rich enough to compensate and the whole cake was very satisfying.
PS The coffee/bittersweet chocolate mixture made a nice addition to a brownie recipe the next day...
Very moist and rich. I used another similar recipe for the frosting:
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, 14 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons light corn syrup and 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter. I would give it 4 1/2 stars.
WoW!!! This recipe is amazing. I'm not a chocolate lover myself, but this cake made me a fan. I have made this cake three times already and have had several people tell me they would pay me to make this cake for them. I was worried that the cake might be too dry being there was a thin layer of ganache. I was wrong. The cake alone is super-moist and has just the right ratio of ganache to cake. The first time I made it, I used bittersweet chocolate and everyone loved it. The next two times I used semi-sweet (my favorite) and boy was it a hit! This cake is a winner.
I was very disappointed with this cake. The photo and the write-up made it sound sooo good.
First, if you are not a true fan of dark chocolate, don't try it. Semi-sweet is about as dark as I like but I thought I would expand my chocolate taste buds. But this is really bitter. Licking the knife after spreading the ganache - wow - yuck! tasted like bile.
I might try it again and substitute semi-sweet chocolate, but the cake wasn't even that great. It was dry and didn't stay together which was perplexing with the buttermilk.
I made this for my birthday and was so disappointed. Usually my husband will eat anything and he wouldn't eat this either. In trash went all that expensive chocolate!
My husband has made this cake two times now. Once as a test run and once with our son for a boy scout event. This cake was so decadent and I was surprised at how easy it was for a novice baker to manage. He did such a great job that I've tasked him to make my mother's 60th birthday cake. It also decorated very easily considering the ganache frosting.


text: Home eMed eMed Blog Entrepreneurs tips for designing successful new health apps or devices RSS Feed Link Entrepreneurs tips for designing successful new health apps or devices Posted by: Deanna Pogorelc on January 20, 2012 Health and medical companies should spend just as much time designing how a product will be used as they do developing how it works, said healthcare designer and researcher Maggie Breslin during designer day of the 2012 Healthcare Innovation Summit. This was just one of the takeaways from day two of the summit, which was packed with design experts sharing their lessons learned in developing and bringing to market new consumer health products. Below are five other key points of advice that kept coming up throughout the day for designers and entrepreneurs working on a new product: 1. Make it simple Usability is key. A new device, app or platform can't just work fundamentally; it must also be designed with the user in mind. "Most of healthcare is after efficacy in the lab," said Arna Ionescu, the director of product development and user experience at Proteus Biomedical. "The problem is it may or may not be effective in the real world." Proteus has developed a system that includes a skin patch and an FDA-approved, ingestible, sensor-enabled chip to help patients remember to take their medication on time. Ionescu said the company's design team fought resistance from engineers, who had originally designed something more complex that showed off the systems' technology. "We made all the technology invisible," she said. "What we made visible was the experience." 2. Make it social To solve the adaptability problem, new consumer products should not only be usable but desirable. People are ready to engage, especially when they're diagnosed with specific rare conditions. "These patients are aching for someone to design something for them," said Sean Ahrens, co-founder of Crohnology, a mobile information sharing and support network for people with Crohn's disease and other autoimmune diseases. Proteus' Ionescu told the story of a test of a device that measured biometrics including heart rate, steps taken and hours of sleep recorded. When the test was made competitive, a group of business executives changed their behavior drastically to win various challenges against their peers. 3. Make it evoke emotions "There's so much pain and fear in healthcare, and we need to figure out how to elicit different emotions," said Enrique Allen from Designer's Fund. A user experience that makes a consumer feel excited, cared for or empathetic is more likely to stick. 4. Create a feedback loop Massive Health, the company responsible for the Eatery app where users snap and upload pictures of their meals, is aiming to help fight obesity by creating what co-founder Aza Raskin calls the feedback loop. The reason so many people are overweight is because they need immediate gratification over delayed gratification, Raskin said, like the immediate taste of chocolate cake rather than the delayed lack of weight gain from not eating it. The Eatery gives them that immediate gratification by letting other users rate the healthiness of their meals. 5. Involve the patient early on "The industry has spent decades ignoring the patients," said Amy Tenderich, founder of DiabetesMine, a blog that provides support, resources and product reviews for blood glucose and insulin delivery products. Developers and designers should utilize not only the input of clinicians who work with patients, but with patients themselves as partners during the design process, she said. "Doctors can say, 'Patients love this device,' but have they ever taken a shower with it on?"10 Comments No Comments to Display Add a Comment Name: Email: Comment: Submit

II. Terms
Courtesy Car A vehicle supplied by entities other than the institution for the business and personal use of an institution employee.
III. Policy
The appropriate Vice President will approve the acquisition and use of courtesy vehicles. The use of courtesy vehicles will be limited to the purposes designated by the dealer. In no instance is such a vehicle to be used for any purposes inconsistent with the best interests of the institution, in terms of institution policies, State Governing Board regulations, and practices related to maintaining a favorable public image for the institution. Each individual to whom a vehicle is assigned must document business miles driven. The documentation must include the date, business, mileage, and business purpose. All business mileage must be supported by written records (logs, calendars or other means). Personal use of courtesy cars is taxable income, according to IRS regulations. The Business Office will calculate the Annual Lease Value of the car, deduct the amount used for business purposes, and include the amount on the individuals W-2 for the year based on the documentation received. The individual to whom the vehicle is assigned is responsible for retaining copies of all written records to be presented upon demand in the event of internal or external audits. These records are to be maintained for 5 years from the year in which the mileage was reported.
IV. Procedures
- Acquisition and Documentation The appropriate Vice President or their designee will be responsible for maintaining a complete and current record for each vehicle.
- Responsibility and Utilization Employees of the institution will treat courtesy vehicles with meticulous care and in a manner intended to be pleasing to the dealer. Institutional employees will be expected to be familiar with this provision. In instances when a courtesy vehicle is to be used by more than one employee, the individual to whom the vehicle is primarily assigned will have the responsibility and authority to establish use priorities and schedules for the vehicle. If the vehicle has been designated for general institution use, the appropriate Vice President will assign it to a particular department, to a particular individual, or to the motor pool.

This amount will be divided into 24 equal payments which will be deducted from the employee's paycheck. The institution will reimburse employees for mileage in the conduct of official institutional business as submitted on the Travel Reimbursement Form. The reimbursement rate established for courtesy vehicles will be 50% of the standard mileage reimbursement rate per UVU guidelines. Reimbursement requests must be made on a UVU Travel Reimbursement Form with the "Courtesy Vehicle" notation.

Washington, DC Friday, March 23, 2012
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) held a media availability to mark the second anniversary of the health care law.
Sen. McConnell told reporters that the law had not delivered on its promises for lower premiums, more jobs and better Medicare coverage for seniors.
A constitutional challenge to the health care law will be heard at the Supreme Court for three days next week.

[Contact: Sam Bosch -- email@example.com]
Richmond, VA – Senate Bill 701, a measure to protect Virginia's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) state employees from workplace discrimination, passed the Senate with a 24-16 vote.
"We're going to press forward with this momentum," said Senator Adam Ebbin (D-Alexandria), a co-chief patron of the bill. "No state employee should ever doubt Virginia's commitment to equal opportunity for all. This assures state employees that they will be judged solely on their merits and that discrimination has no place in Virginia." Ebbin first sponsored similar legislation in 2007 as a member of the House of Delegates and has done so every year since.
The bill has received support from 46 co-patrons in both in the House and Senate. Equality Virginia, who lobbied in support of SB701, recorded over 11,000 messages to General Assembly members in support of the legislation.
Of Virginia's top 25 private employers, at least 80 percent have nondiscrimination policies that include sexual orientation and 60 percent also include gender identity. The legislation, if passed by the House of Delegates and signed by the Governor, would ensure that LGBT state employees are awarded the same protections against discrimination as are employees at a majority of top private sector employers in Virginia.
Speaking about SB701, Senator Ebbin said "it is time that Virginia law reflect the opinion of its citizenry." Similarly, Senator Don McEachin (D-Henrico)—the other co-chief patron—commented that "the people must continue to lead the legislature and remind the House that Virginia is an open state and welcoming to all folks as we move this bill ahead."

Free half term swimming for under 16s
3:36pm Tuesday 23rd October 2012 in News
Under 17s will be able to swim for free during next week's half term school holiday.
Children aged up to 16 won't have to pay for public swimming sessions at Wiltshire Council and DC Leisure managed swimming pools from October 25 to November 2.
The free sessions proved popular over the summer with more than 58,800 taken over July and August this year.
Cabinet member for leisure Stuart Wheeler, said: "This free swimming has already proved a real success with huge numbers of young people taking advantage of a free healthy way to spend their holidays.
"Keeping fit is so important and we hope having these free sessions will encourage young people to stay active in the long term as well."
Those under 16 will be able to gain free access to all public swimming sessions during the Wiltshire Council recognised school holidays, but each leisure centre retains the right to request proof of age before granting entry.

Surely what we are and what we believe are reflected in what we have to focus on every day and what we are responsible for. And surely our purpose flows down from this. Therefore shouldn't Areas of Responsibility/ Focus be at 50,000ft and Life Purpose be relegated to 40,000ft, with the Three to Five Year Visions and One to Two Year Goals also moved down one level.
The thing which made me wonder about this is that I can never decide whether "be a good partner" is in my Life Purpose list or my AOR list. It usually ends up in both, which doesn't seem quite right.

Today ain't a great day for Irish politics. I was hoping that Micheál Martin would bring a fresh team in to Dáil Éireann and shake up Irish politics with some new young blood. What he has announced is that not even *one* of his front bench is going to change. A direct translation of this is that the reason Fianna Fáil are at 16% in the polls is down to one man. The captain of any team is only as good as the team he has. If things go well, it's a team effort and if it goes badly, the same is true.
The big problem now is who would you vote for? I would have been willing to support FF probably if Micheál Martin had brought in a new fresh young team, or if any party did, but it's like changing the label on the tin, with the exact same contents. What a pity and an opportunity lost!
I am seriously worried about labour being in any government at a time like this, because, while I agree with sharing and caring as good and maybe even better than most, you must first have something to share, and a half left right government is going nowhere in times like this, but would be fine in good times.
The truth is between 1997 and around 2002 Ireland was making steady, very *real* progress, and then the banks and developers´ greed went bananas with nobody controlling them. It's still true to say that since 1997 we have come a long way with people 70% better off than we were then. The problem is we have a drop in values of about 30% in the last 3 years, but a drop from a dizzy ficticious height, and back to 2002 levels. Don't forget we were all happy in 2002, and happier than we ever were since the foundation of the state.
The other positive side to this is that it's not easy to break the spirit of the Irish people, and we were always a creative and original race, regardless of who is in power. It is the Irish people with their creativity and entrepeneurial spirit that will get us out of this blip, not the politicians, and yes, it is only a blip, which time will prove, I'm sure. There are a group of people who bought property at the wrong time that are in the shit, and it's very sad (home owners, not developers). This group are by and large in their late 30s, and they should be helped. The rest of the population are better off than they were 3 years ago. Salaries may have dropped 10%, but property has dropped about 50%, and the cost of living around 25% overall, which means that outside of this small but very important bracket in trouble, everyone else is better off. The person buying a house now is way better off and has much more of a disposable income.
Then you can talk about the unemployed folk because of the reccession. What % of the unemployed are between 20 and 28 years old? Most of them will head off to places like Australia for a while, and most that do will be back, like my own son, I hope. I am delighted they are gone as long as they come back because they come out of university with a degree, with no practical experience and pretty much commercially useless until they get it. The practical experience is the real education, and as long as Australia are willing to suffer this period of their education, let them at it, and say nothing for Christ's sake!
I read somewhere that the required goverment bailout would have paid off the mortgage of every household in the country. That is incredible, but we should surely help those who bought first time homes during the "crazy period", and if that doesn't happen, they should simply throw the keys of the house at the bank, rent a property for a couple of years and don't believe this rubbish that you will never again get a loan. You *will*, and you will own your own home again within a few short years. Nobody wants to lose a home, but it is better to have a decent quality of life than to be fighting for bricks and mortar which never made a home anyway, only a house.
It's also incredible to see that every radio and TV programme is focusing on money or left and right politics, and do you not think we should also be talking about how our culture and way of life has changed negatively in the last few years outside money at all? The headline in the Examiner the other day said that the rate of suicides among the elderly has seriously increased in the last few years. That's because with the smoking bans and breath testing in the mornings we have killed the pub trade at home, and people's whole way of life has been changed, which makes them isolated and lonely. I have heard a good few people from the UK saying they wouldn't go to Ireland anymore because the craic and the music was gone, which was all we had from a tourist´s point of view. I never heard anyone saying they came for the weather!
Enough now. I must go to work!!!

Despite all of the white tech going on, they chose not to settle with a white-bezeled LCD television (you can take a look at a few we've rounded up here). We think this was a smart choice, however, since the black - along with all of the color warm punches of color added via art and pillows - does a great job in creating a fun environment where your eyes never get tired of wandering.
Art plays a huge part in Tila's home. Canvas lay stretched and layered with an urban-contemporary paint style next to couches so comfortable during movie watching that you almost forget that you're sitting in a home theater. Did we mention there are robots everywhere? Yeah, we dig the robots. "Vinyl almost always sounds nicer. Funny that not much has changed over the years for this wonderful format." We really dig the little vinyl storage crates (we're guessing they're IKEA-esque in many ways). Little details like this keep the space varied and warm, away from that cold industrial look that many spaces hold onto quite tightly when using turntables as decor and listening to vinyl on a daily basis. Now, unfortunately, we must bid adieu to Tila's wonderful home. A fantastic little space it was. Let her know what you thought of her space in the comments!(Images: Tila from Minhembio)

About Last Night: New York Feeling Melo Again
By Spike Friedman atIn case you were busy discovering something magical, here's what you missed in sports on Tuesday:
- The New York Knicks blew out the Indiana Pacers, 105-79, behind 32 points from Carmelo Anthony to even their second-round series at a game apiece. "Now I will grant an exclusive interview to any member of the New York media who didn't write our epitaph after Game 1," Anthony announced after the game while sipping an ice-cold Diet Coke. But no one in the New York press stepped forward. "Come on, anyone? OK, how 'bout anyone who didn't call me Car-Smell-O." But again there was only silence. "Um, anyone who didn't personally insult my family?" Howard Beck of the New York Times then raised his hand to ask if cousins counted, but Anthony granted him the interview before Beck had the chance to clarify.
- Craig Kimbrel gave up back-to-back home runs with two outs in the ninth inning as the Cincinnati Reds shocked the Atlanta Braves, 5-4. "I'd be more ashamed if it weren't the Reds," Kimbrel explained after the game. "They were cool, which is what I think of when I think of things wrapped in red-and-white. They were ice-cold. You could throw six of them in a cooler, take 'em on a picnic, and have a hell of a day. As an Atlanta man, that's just an instinct for me at this point."

You don't have to go far to hear complaints about the L.A. Unified School District (LAUSD), the city's beleaguered public school system, nor very far to catch grumbling about Mayor James K. Hahn. But linking the two is a stretch for many, because Los Angeles' mayor has no authority over the city's schools -- none at all.
Yet one challenger in particular, Bob Hertzberg, has made LAUSD the centerpiece of his campaign by pledging, somehow, to break up the nation's second-largest school system. Politically, the strategy isn't off the wall.

Filmmaker/actor Mark O'Brien of St. John's won the award for Best Atlantic Short at the Atlantic Film Festival, for his film "Better People." — File photo by Tara Bradbury/The Telegram
Filmmaker/actor Mark O'Brien of St. John's has won the award for Best Atlantic Short at the Atlantic Film Festival, for his film "Better People."
O'Brien — best known for playing Des on CBC-TV's "Republic of Doyle" — wrote and directed the 10-minute short film, and stars in it alongside his real-life fiancée, actress Georgina Reilly. The film explores the idea of love at first sight.
Before screening at the Atlantic Film Festival, "Better People" played at the Montreal World Film Festival, earlier this month. It will also screen at the St. John's Women's International Film Festival in October.
As part of the award, O'Brien was presented with a cash prize of $500 along with $1,000 in film post-production services from Halifax-based 902 Post.
O'Brien's last short film, "Kathy," won the William F. White Award for Best Comedy at the Lakeshorts International Short Film Festival in April.
Started in 1981 in St. John's, the 32nd Atlantic Film Festival wrapped up in Halifax Thursday night, after eight days of film screenings, workshops and industry events.

Published Quarterly
Editor: Miriam Raub Vivian
Winter Quarter 2007 |
California State University, Bakersfield
Volume 15, No. 2
One Book, One Bakersfield is a community organization and citywide book club that promotes reading, discussion of great literature, and community interaction. Supported by grants and donations from local organizations, businesses, and individuals, One Book sponsors book discussions, panel discussions, dramatic readings, and other events related to the book selected. Robert Penn Warren's Pulitzer Prize-winning book, All The King's Men (1946), served as 2007's book.
Through narrator Jack Burden, the book tells the story of Willie Stark, a southerner who rises to become governor of his state by appealing to the disaffected masses, using blackmail, and engaging in political corruption. Stark, who comes to rule his state as a virtual dictator, is assassinated as he prepares a bid for the United States Senate.
Stark is roughly modeled on real life populist politician Huey Long, who served as governor of Louisiana before being elected to the United States Senate in 1930. Long was assassinated in Baton Rouge in 1935.
Professor Rodriquez contributed to this year's One Book, One Bakersfield program by writing an essay on Huey Long. The piece appeared in the Bakersfield Californian on February 11, 2007, to help promote the One Book discussions and events that were scheduled in February and March. In addition, Professor Rodriquez served on a panel co-sponsored by the Kegley Institute of Ethics, which dealt with the book and the larger related issues of politics and ethics. Finally, Professor Rodriquez delivered a presentation and facilitated discussion on Huey Long and Warren's Willie Stark at Russo's Books.
For more information on the One Book, One Bakersfield program and on past books that have been featured in discussions, see http://www.1b1b.com.
