2011 Wisconsin Act 2 Health Care Services Review Use of Health Care Reports
As many of you may be aware, Governor Scott Walker signed 2011 Wisconsin Act 2 into law on January 27, 2011, effective February 1, 2011. The new law makes changes to Wisconsin Statutes in several areas including access to and the use of health care services reviews and evaluations, and the use of health care reports and documents. The purpose of this memo is to provide information to health care providers regarding the effects this law has on the Department of Health Services/Division of Quality Assurance (DQA) activities. The complete text of 2011 Wisconsin Act 2 can be found at: http://legis.wisconsin.gov/2011/data/acts/11Act2.pdf
Health care services review; confidentiality of information
Section 146.38, Wis. Stats., outlines the law regarding the confidentiality and use of information obtained in connection with, and the records of, a health services review or evaluation. The reviews identified in this section of the Statute generally do not refer to the review of health services that are conducted by a regulatory agency pursuant to the agency's regulatory authority. The health services reviews and evaluation in s. 146.38 are often conducted by a peer review committee, quality assessment and improvement committee or, in some federally certified programs, the Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement Program (QAPI Program) or by a person or an organization retained to conduct health care services reviews or evaluations.
Prior to the passage of Act 2, the law provided that a person who participates in a review or evaluation of health care services may not disclose information acquired in connection with the review or the records of the review or evaluation unless agreed upon by the health care provider. This provision remains intact. The statute specifies other exceptions for disclosure of information or review and evaluation records. Providers are encouraged to review the Act.
Certain new provisions in the law
Wisconsin Act 2 defines an "incident or occurrence report" for purposes of a health services review or evaluation under s. 146.38. In that section, an "incident or occurrence report" means a written or oral statement that is made to notify a person, organization, or an evaluator who reviews or evaluates the services of health care providers or charges for such services of an incident, practice, or other situation that becomes the subject of such a review or evaluation.
Like health services review and evaluation reports prior to passage of Act 2, an incident or occurrence report, as defined in Act 2, is generally not accessible to the Division of Quality Assurance.
Effect on DHS/DQA survey activities
Wisconsin Act 2 does not affect the survey activities conducted by the Division of Quality Assurance and its staff. The law does not change access by the Division of Quality Assurance and its staff to information from a health care provider consistent with the provisions in s. 50.07 (1) (c), Wis. Stats. Section 146.38, Wis. Stats., does not affect the Department's access to a health care provider's records that are not a part of a health services review or evaluation including, for example, a patient's or resident's medical or health care record.
Administrative codes require health care providers to document an accurate representation of the patient or resident, and to provide sufficient evidence of the care provided including response to treatment, change in condition and changes in treatment. The law does not change access to this information by the Division of Quality Assurance or its staff.
The new law does not change provider reporting requirements under the Wisconsin Caregiver Law, including required investigations of client or resident abuse, neglect or misappropriation of client or resident property and the mandatory completion of the Misconduct Incident Report, F-62447. The new law does not change access to required investigations of caregiver misconduct or to the Misconduct Incident Report form by the Division of Quality of Assurance or its staff. See DQA Memo DQA 04-028 and DQA Memo 10-008 for specific requirements.
Community Based Residential Facilities and Residential Care Apartment Complexes
Community Based Residential Facilities (CBRF) and Residential Care Apartment Complexes (RCAC) are not required under s.146.38, Wis. Stats., or Wisconsin Administrative Code, DHS 83 or DHS 89, to conduct health care services reviews or to have a quality assessment and improvement committee. However, the provisions under Wisconsin Act 2 and the recently passed Budget bill extend to a CBRF and RCAC if the facility conducts or retains a person or organization to conduct a review or evaluation of health care services.
Use of health care reports
The new law prohibits the use of reports that the Division of Quality Assurance requires a health care provider to give and statements of, or records of interviews with employees of a health care provider obtained by the Division of Quality Assurance as evidence in a civil or criminal proceeding brought against a health care provider.
The new law does not change access to Division of Quality Assurance survey records, including Statements of Deficiencies and Plans of Correction. This information is available to the public from the Division of Quality Assurance through Wisconsin's Public Records Law.
Contact information of staff in DQA to answer questions
Questions from nursing homes and facilities serving people with developmental disabilities should be directed to the Regional Field Operations Director for the region is which your facility is located.
Questions from community based residential facilities and residential care apartment complexes should be directed to the Regional Assisted Living Director for the region is which your facility is located.
Questions from hospitals and hospices should be directed to the Section Chief for the region in which your facility or agency is located.
The Division of Quality Assurance is sending this information to providers and asking administrators/managers to inform their staff of their responsibilities under the law. Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have question about this information, please contact the appropriate staff listed above.

Mother of Divine God, what was Christina Aguilera drinking at a party for her 32nd birthday on Tuesday night in LA? I need to get a few bottles for the next time my kid leaves the house for a sleepover.
These past months we've been so busy focusing on Britney's and Lindsay's mental health issues, we've all but blanked the madness that is Xtina.
A slashed Mickey Mouse T-shirt, fishnets, thigh high boots, a floor length sequined cardigan and a standalone bejeweled Peter Pan collar - all topped off with a caking of cosmetics and a Santa hat. She knows cameras exist, right?
Though it's not yet known whether she showed up to the event looking like the trash generation's Gloria Swanson in Sunset Blvd, one could speculate that the T-shirt was a gift swapped drunkenly for whatever painted-on frock she was wearing on arrival.
If the past 13 years of bad make-up and giggling didn't successfully erase the memory of a Musketeer, the sight of a distressed Mickey Mouse tee soon to be covered in false tan of a should do it.

Team: Sacramento Kings
2011 Draft Assets: 1st (#7), 2nd (#35 & #60)
2012 Draft Assets: 1st, 2nd
DraftExpress Selection(s):
#7 – Jimmer Fredette (PG) – BYU (Profile)
#35 – Darius Morris (PG) – Michigan (Profile)
#60 – Adam Hanga (SG/SF) – Albacomp (Hungary) (Profile)
Chad Ford's Mock Selection(s):
#7 – Kemba Walker (PG) – Uconn (Profile)
#35 – Norris Cole (PG) – Cleveland State (Profile)
#60 – Andrew Goudelock (SG) – College of Charleston (Profile)
Roster Analysis:
UFA's of Significance: Samuel Dalembert,
RFA's of Significance: Marcus Thornton
The Kings actually find themselves in quite an enviable position from a cap standpoint. They have two slightly unpalatable contracts committed to Beno Udrih and Francisco Garcia that run through 2013, but neither qualifies as a cap killer given their current production levels. After that, Sacramento actually has a nice foundation of youth– that is until you start factoring character into the equation. Tyreke Evans and DeMarcus Cousins are the headliners, with Omri Casspi, Jason Thompson, Donte Greene, and Hassan Whiteside rounding out a king's ransom of young talent. Thornton was great since coming over from New Orleans mid-season and will most likely be a priority to re-sign.
Needs: High-character players, a backcourt fit with Evans, frontcourt depth
"Safe" scenario: Walker might be the safest pick at #7 for the Kings, as there is no doubt he will be a contributor at the NBA level. But because both Evans and Thornton are key pieces for Sacramento going forward, one would have to question how well the former Husky fits. In terms of safe picks and good fits, Tristan Thompson and Klay Thompson would serve them well. Thompson's shooting and ability to play either wing spot pairs well with Evans while Thompson's rebounding and defensive presence would fit nicely alongside DeMarcus Cousins. If the Kings are willing to wait to reap the benefits, both Jonas Valanciunas and Bismack Biyombo would end up being fantastic fits along their frontline.
The two most interesting names being kicked around in connection with Sacramento at #7 are Jimmer Jimmer Fredette and Alec Burks. Fredette's intangibles and shooting ability would definitely be a boost to Sacramento, but that might be a little high for him. Burks is the really interesting proposition.
As far as playing alongside Tyreke Evans in the backcourt, Colorado product may actually be a better fit than most would expect. One of the better pure scorers in the draft class, Burks has adequate size for a shooting guard (6-foot-6 in shoes), with good length and versatility. In college he primarily operated as a dribble drive threat, able to get to the basket consistently and finish in traffic, but has reportedly been working out with former Colorado great Chauncey Billups to improve his perimeter shooting. That factor – perhaps above all others – will be paramount to his success at the pro level. Burks shot just 29% from beyond the arc in his final collegiate season due in large part to his inconsistence shooting balance. The 19-year-old often will fade away or drift to the side when elevating for a jumper, severely hampering his ability to be an effective shooter.
What is lost behind Burks's impressive scoring numbers (20 ppg), however, is his playmaking ability. Despite being the primary scoring option for the Buffalos, he shows good passing instincts, knows how to set up teammates and even served as the team's point guard when the starter went to the bench. He certainly isn't the kind of player who can be a pure point in the immediate future, but facilitates enough when on the floor that you may not have to worry about playing him alongside Evans. Both are scorers first, passers second, but are smart enough to make the necessary plays. A backcourt with two talented combo-guards may work just as well as playing with a traditional one and two.
Yes, Kemba Walker may be a safer pick at this spot given the senior's tremendous year and high character, but Burks offers more potential. He may just be scratching the surface of his all around game, and is bigger, longer and can already score and facilitate just as well as Walker. – JW
"High-Risk" Scenario: Since a lot of scenarios involving Sacramento seem to involve reaching, poor fit, or long-term investment, one option they could look into is trading back. The Knicks have been hot on Jimmer Fredette's trail and he should be available at #7. If the Knicks sent Toney Douglas along with #17 to the Kings in exchange for #7, would Geoff Petrie bite?
Douglas would be an excellent fit at the point guard spot next to Evans. He defends, shoots the three well, and doesn't need the ball to be effective. Plus, at 25, he'd be a veteran presence on this ballclub. The Kings would also still have plenty of good options for them at #17. Kenneth Faried (Morehead St.), Markieff Morris (Kansas), and Jordan Hamilton (Texas) all would be great value at that spot and be excellent additions to their roster. –BK

Be prepared if journalism jobs rebound with the economy
By Randall Smith
With the economy in a tailspin and ugly winter weather, it's tempting to write off job hunting and networking this season. In reality, though, it's the perfect time to make a push into a new job, internship or career.
Here's why: The economy is starting to show some signs of life. Holidays are an excellent time to get the word out about yourself. Employers are starting to reload their resume banks in anticipation of better times ahead.
And for those seeking internships, many decisions will be made in the next few months.
Since coming to Missouri University last fall, I've had the opportunity to hear and speak to dozens of employers. I've combined their job tips with what I learned in the last 20 years as a newsroom recruiter.
Be versatile. Gone are the days when you could be a generalist and know a little about a lot of things. Today, you've got to have several skills – story telling, producer, editor, web builder – to sell yourself. Show interviewers you're prepared for the newsroom of the future.
Teach yourself. Michelle Nicolosi, who is the executive producer of seattlepi.com, was on the Missouri University campus recently and spoke to my class. Her advice to students: Download test versions of software and master them on your own. In the real world, you won't have teachers to hold your hand. Once you've tried a new product, you'll see it's not that hard. My class did this with Dreamweaver, and they mastered it quickly.
Be persistent. There's more than one journalist at Politico that got hired because they wouldn't stop bugging co-founder Jim VanderHei. In front of a group of journalists in Washington D.C. recently, he said there's three or four reporters that he's hired because he liked their job-seeking tenacity.
Seek advice. If you're driving home for the holidays, schedule some stops along the way to visit with some editors and producers. The good ones will invite you in to talk about your career. Who knows what will happen from there? VanderHei said that's how he ended up running a small Wisconsin paper for two summer months when he was just starting out.
Don't be afraid to go small. Reginald Stuart, who is the corporate recruiter for McClatchy, said he's seeing openings starting to occur in smaller newspapers and media companies in the South. Stuart advised sending out lots of resumes in these markets, which will be some of the first to show signs of improvement as the economy heals.
Find a way to get a foot in the door. A public relations executive in North Carolina told me about how she took a job in the pressroom of a newspaper so that she could be close to the bulletin board where all of the jobs were posted. When one came open for a reporter, she knocked on the managing editor's door and told him that she wanted the job. He looked at her resume and clips, and she started the next Monday in the newsroom.
Think beyond traditional media. In the past, lots of great journalists got their starts in places besides agencies, newspapers and television stations. Today, a great place to start is at a smaller venue like a newsletter. Some of the good ones offer talented editing, great guidance and will get you noticed in other places. Newsletters are the hunting grounds of the big agencies, news websites and wire services.
Focus on business journalism. Of all of the media specialties, this one is the healthiest. Reuters has contacted me twice in the search for quality summer interns. I've been administering the Dow Jones test, too, for students. Bloomberg was on campus, and told us that they've got jobs for the right people. One of my students took a summer job with the AP. The Society of American Business Editors and Writers, where I was president in the early 1990s, has an excellent new website (sabew.org) filled with training opportunities, networking possibilities and job listings.
Watch upcoming websites. In every community, they're springing up. AOL is launching a number of hyper local sites, and plans to be a large employer of journalists in years to come. My hunch is that others will battle for the same turf. Scan the web for some in communities where you'd like to work, and see whether they'd be willing to take on an extra hand. The experience could be fantastic.
Work on that resume. I've seen too many resumes this fall that start with something like this: BA degree from the University of (fill in the blank). This is going to get your resume moved to the bottom of the pile. If you've been in class recently, tell the interviewer what you've learned. If you've acquired a bunch of multimedia skills, focus on that. If you developed people skills and set a record selling advertising, tell that story. Make the interviewer curious about what you might do at their shop. Your first line on your resume is your lead. Set your hook.

Daily breaking news and news the liberal media doesn't want you to know, won't report, or just daily news issues.
Americans for many years have had to rely on left leaning biased news reporting from liberal media such as NBC, ABC, and CBS and the New York Times. As most of these outlets struggle to remain on the air and in print, the new media is flourishing and people are hearing both sides of the issues. This forum will provide people with a place to discuss daily news issues of any kind or discuss articles not printed or aired by the liberal news outlets.

Any action will still result in more foreign fighters in country,and an increased threat to all u.s. interests,short of a vaporization.

"to the flag that you seem to place in such low regard."
Lower regard would be accurate. I consider human life more important than the flag. I consider knowledge more important.

moderation, from what i understand the dilemma that the U.N. and the world found itself in with Syria is that Syria never agreed or signed on to any anti-chemical weapon treaty up to this point. it was an unenforcable situation under those circumstances. my question posed to you would be: at what length would our government go in reaction to a similar situation here? what would they (the government) do to its citizens? Ruby Ridge and Waco were gnat bites. we may be spanking the wrong team moderation. the eventual strike against Iran could yield a two-fer with Syria if we are patient. half-measures are useless unless failure is the desired outcome. what say ye? what is moderations plan for the middle-east? i will return in a bit as i have to make a bank run.

So, would I be mistaken in my thinking to say that a rough spanking of Syria would fall short of the LTS middle-east doctrine?

Project: Book and School Supply Drive
Literacy is one of the most important skills needed to succeed in our society. Access to books or the materials needed to learn is a challenge for some children in our community. There are five key steps to gathering an impressive collection of great books for many ages or school supplies to equip school children to excel.
- First, decide whether you'll collect books or school supplies - or get ambitious and do both! Either way, you'll be donating essentials to children who lack access to them.
For a Book Drive:
Contact national book donation organizations for guidance. Identify organizations in your community that need books and find out what exactly they are hoping to get. Great potential recipients include local libraries, preschools, elementary, middle and high schools as well as community organizations that serve children. As well, many pediatricians' offices or public assistance centers have children in their waiting rooms for long periods of time without any books to read.
Even if you aren't collecting books for a library, get in touch with children's librarians in your area for advice. Most libraries have grade or age-specific reading lists printed out for patrons.For a school supply drive:
Determine what grade level you seek to supply - lower grades such as kindergarten require different materials than upper grades do. Contact schools in your area and solicit their recommendations for incoming students of the particular grade you've selected. They probably have a ready-made list they send to parents in the summer.
Find an appropriate recipient for the supplies and get in touch with them about what it's best to deliver. Possible candidates include an elementary, middle or high school serving lower-income students, community center catering to youth, homeless shelter serving families or public assistance center.
- Once you've decided what kind of drive you're doing and identified an exact recipient you'll need to assemble a motivated team, agree upon clear tasks, set reachable goals and act with inspiration and purpose.
- Start off planning with folks you know and ask them to tell others to join your efforts
- Meet regularly, especially as MLK Day approaches, and solicit input from everyone
- Assign concrete tasks to keep everyone motivated and on track.
- Talk about the parallels and differences between your effort to supply resources, encouragement and inspiration to students and those of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
- Determine what kinds of supplies you will need for the activities you seek to do. This will depend, as detailed above, on the kind of drive you're conducting and the advice you've collected from librarians, teachers or other experts.
- In addition to project-specific supplies, make sure to get materials for the notes you'll be including with the school supplies or in the books. This will include paper, pens, markers or crayons or decorative elements.
- Solicit funds from team members and/or others as well as in-kind donations from business for the supplies you'll need. Be persistent and creative. Book publishers, for example, may have remainder books they're happy to give away, book stores may provide goods, and local business may provide funds.
- Purchase needed supplies prior to the service day and have them ready to go.
- Set goals for yourselves, such as number of books or school supplies collected, number of kits or backpacks assembled, number of organizations supplied.
- Record these goals and make sure you can meet them. If your initial assessment turns out to be too ambitious or not ambitious enough, revise the goals to something the whole team can agree on.
- Post your project on our site so that people in your area can join your efforts
- Make sure project leaders or coordinators are at the site early, ready to greet team members and participants as they arrive
- Officially welcome everyone and talk about the purpose of the day - collecting books and supplies, encouraging reading and serving each other in honor of Dr. King.
- Sort school supplies into predetermined groupings placing each in set containers (backpacks if you have them or other bags)
- Group books according to their destinations, if you're dropping off at multiple locations
- Craft short handwritten notes to put in with the school supplies or books. Solicit ideas from the team and be sure to turn to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s life and words for inspiration.
- Head out on foot, by car, bus or train to deliver the supplies you've assembled
- Host an official debriefing meeting for team members after the service day
- Examine the goals you set for yourselves and consider which you met, exceeded and didn't quite get
- Who did your work impact? What did you accomplish? How did it feel?
- Ask everyone for their honest assessment of what went well and how to improve for next time
- Consider what doing this work on MLK Day, in particular, meant to you

All right, it's not written in stone, but only on Doubleday's finest rag and linen stock (all recyclable, don't you know?), still David Klinghoffer's new book, Shattered Tablets: Why we Ignore the Ten Commandments at Our Peril, is provoking religious and anti-religious fervor among both conservatives and liberals. That means you really have to read it.
The book is officially "out" only as of this week, yet National Review Online already is carrying a funny interview of David on the subject of his new work. The byplay between David, a senior fellow in Discovery Institute's Religion and Public Life program and a one-time book editor at NR, and Kathryn Lopez, Online's editor, is particularly amusing if you know something of the NR staff. (Are they going to allow their self-ordained Evangelizing Agnostic, John Derbyshire, to review Shattered Tablets?)
The book also stimulated a column a couple of days ago by Danny Westneat in The Seattle Times (it singes our man, but doesn't burn him), while a fine tribute by Rod Deher just ran in The Dallas Morning News.
Many months ago I argued with David about his book's jeremiads against Seattle, our mutual home town. I am a bit more accepting of the religiously lazy and latitudinarian locals than is David, but having witnessed lately a huge increase of intimidating street crime outside our downtown office building, I have to admit the aptness of David's depiction of Third and Pike as an example of the breakdown in respect for authority. In fact, Shattered Tablets makes a lot of good, relevant points. You don't have to agree with all of them, or any of them, but David Klinghoffer is nothing if not a prophet deserving of attention.
Here's a final thought. In very recent times traditional Jews like Klinghoffer, Christian evangelicals and conservative Catholics have been coming together on a number of public issues, often joined by thoughtful Stoics who don't embrace any particular faith, but appreciate those who do and, like the rest of us, cherish the religious concepts of ordered liberty that make Western Civilization exceptional. If it weren't for the strident atheists who have been demanding more and more secularization and seeking to punish religious people, this development might not be taking place. Call it coincidence, call it Providence, nothing quite like it has happened before. That is one reason why Shattered Tablets is likely to enjoy a broad and deep audience.

The magic of Cape Verdean food lies in its history. This cluster of ten tiny islands and 5 islets dotted off the west coast of Africa has only been inhabited since the 15th century, when Portuguese sailors stumbled upon them. Since that time, the inhabitants have developed a cuisine steeped in both African and Portuguese traditions. On any given day, fishermen can be found amidst the sea spray, casting their nets and lines in the shadow of volcanoes. They bring home prawn, shrimp, albacore, … [Read more...]

Monday Meal Review: Canada
I poured the thick, grade A dark amber maple syrup into the pot and reluctantly added a cup of water to thin it out. Even still, the liquid was viscous, sluggish, sweet. Perfect for simmering dough until tender. I clicked on the range and watched as the syrup shimmered, swirled, and eventually bubbled up. Time to make the doughnuts. I mean... grandpères. One by one, I dropped small, sticky balls of dough into the simmering syrup and watched them dunk, then bob back up to the … [Read more...]
Recipe: Butter Roasted Tomatoes
Serves 2-3 Cherry tomatoes are sweet bursts of summertime. Their flavor deepens when roasted with creamy butter and fresh thyme - a juicy side dish that forgives even the driest chicken and wild rice, while bravely complimenting perfectly cooked meals as well. If that isn't enough reason to try this vegetarian recipe, these tomatoes actually made my picky husband exclaim "pretty good!" That's quite the milestone considering the tomato is one of his major food nemeses. Like Batman's Joker … [Read more...]
Recipe: How to cook Canadian Wild Rice
On shopping day, I browsed the bulk bins, hoping against hope that I could find the real thing - Canadian Lake Wild Rice - here, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As I scanned past basmati, jasmine and wild rice blends, my eye caught something shiny and jet black. I didn't even have to read the label to know I was in business. The long grains gave themselves away. They look like a pile of runway models in sleek black dresses. Canadian wild rice is all together a different plant than American wild rice. … [Read more...]
Monday Meal Review: Cameroon
I've said it before, but this time I mean it. I'm never buying catfish again. Ever. Not in a million, billion years. Store-bought catfish has to be the fishiest, funkiest, stinkiest fish on this planet - which should be a crime because I know catfish is perfectly capable of being sweet and tender. You see, my father-in-law, Rick, catches catfish from deep within the lakes of Oklahoma. Before the water has a chance to drip down the fish's fins, he fillets, salts, and bags them. … [Read more...]

While you are welcome to use homemade croissant dough, I had to take a short cut - it was one of those weeks. We'll call this fast food for the home cook. I guess you could say that my super-cook is giving way to super-mom. There was a time when I made my very own croissants from scratch. And I'll surely do it again, once Ava gets a … [Read more...]

Vegetarian/vegan Ingredients: 1/2 cup peanut butter (natural, not sweet) 1 Tbsp tomato paste 3/4 cup water pinch of cayenne pepper red palm oil Method: Heat oil over medium. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper. You can always add more at the end, if you can handle … [Read more...]
Recipe: Cambodian Grilled Eggs
Makes a dozen eggs I met my match with Cambodian Grilled Eggs. My patience and sanity were pushed to the limits. Not one to take a beating, however, I salvaged what I could from this tricky recipe and ended up with twelve super tasty eggs.

Definitely DON'T make this dish last minute. You'll be … [Read more...]

Exhibit change by:
Across the globe, Amnesty International members have united to work towards making women's human rights a reality; the campaign is intended as a contribution to the efforts of the women's rights movements around the world.
To acheive its goals in helping to end violence against women, Amnesty International is:
* Urging governments and armed groups to end impunity for violence against women during times of conflict and post-conflict

The International Violence Against Women Act
The International Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA) is a historic and unprecedented effort of the U.S. government to take leadership in establishing an overall and integrated approach to respond and address violence against women and girls internationally. The Act establishes a Coordinator to Combat Violence Against Women Internationally.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Anonymous web browsing is browsing the World Wide Web while hiding the user's IP address and any other personally identifiable information from the websites that one is visiting. There are many ways of accomplishing anonymous web browsing. There are proxies servers that are usable, as well as programs such as TOR (The Onion Router), which sends information through a net of routers to hide the destination of information (see mix network). However, anonymous web browsing is not completely anonymous, as there can still be traffic analysis and other programs used to counter things such as TOR and proxies.
When browsing the web, the computer connects to the target server by contacting the web page with the user's IP address and sharing other computer information, including the browser and operating system version. This information can be used to track the user. However, a certain degree of anonymity can be achieved by using a proxy server or a VPN server. The proxy server works by redirecting the communication through itself. The browser's IP address is then only shared with the proxy server while the target website only sees the proxy server's information.[1]
Anonymous Web Servers generally work by placing an anonymous proxy between the user and the website that he/she is visiting. These servers can be used to bypass restrictions and visit sites that might be blocked in a specific country, office or school. Some people only use these servers to protect their online identity.
Anonymous web browsing is generally useful to Internet users who want to ensure that their sessions cannot be monitored. For instance, it is used to circumvent traffic monitoring by organizations which want to find out or control which web sites employees visit.
Some may fear that no one can ever really be anonymous due to the fact that law enforcement can request information and logs if they suspect illegal activity through an Internet provider by a client. However, in practice these are not major concerns because those service providers who emphasize personal data protection will typically only save their log files for a matter of days, at which time they are deleted/overwritten by rotation. Backups will be rotated in a similar fashion. To further obscure the client IP addresses that are stored in the log files, they can be truncated by the last byte and thereby made (more) anonymous. Meanwhile, responses to specific requests from law enforcement can be made to take... more than a few days. These issues are further simplified for service providers operating in foreign countries, conveniently outside the jurisdictions of their clients.
Proxy servers have a number of limitations. Since proxy servers have to reroute information, web pages can sometimes load slowly. Also, since the server is attempting to bypass suspicious software, some elements of a page may not load. Proxy servers can even become more of a security hazard than browsing the web, since personal information such as credit card numbers and passwords are passed through an external server that could be accessed by someone else (if not on an encrypted channel (HTTPS)).[2]
Browser addons like the Java virtual machine plugin and the Adobe Flash Player can be used to reveal the web surfer's IP address even if she/he is surfing through an anonymous proxy web server.
HTTP cookies are strings of text that are saved on a computer by browsing different web pages. They allow small bits of information to be stored. Cookies are used to save passwords and shopping lists among other things. They are also used to track demographics and browsing habits. This information is sent to the user's computer and then uploaded to web databases without the user's approval.[3] Cookies represent another avenue (besides transmission of the IP address) by which a user's anonymity can potentially be breached.

Video: Pearl Jam Perform Van Halen's "Eruption" and "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love"
October 29, 2013 at 7:46pm
Nicely done! Hey...maybe not note-for-note perfect but he hits all the great parts. And who am I to criticize...I can't do it any better than him so a tip of the hat to him.
October 29, 2013 at 10:43am
I like Dweezil's version which IS played live in front of a crowd. If you don't wanna watch the whole video (even though the Van Halen story is totally worth it!) the song starts at about 5m10s!
October 29, 2013 at 8:21am
I think John's being a little overly critical. This is an impressive cover of Eruption and an incredible cover of Ain't Talkin' About Love! Pete Thorn's version is absolutely perfect but, it isn't being performed live onstage in front of thousands of people. I'd be interested to hear Pete play this at a live show. I'm sure it would be awesome but, I doubt it will equal the precision of his tutorial video.
October 28, 2013 at 6:05pm
Not good at all. You want to see someone pull off Eruption almost as good as Eddie? Check out Pete Thorn. I believe there was a little too much alcohol in this rendition. Sorry Mr. McCready :(

In neo-Pagan witchcraft the God and Goddess are the divine forces and the very essence of the craft, they are the Great Father and Great Mother whose limitless energy brings forth all life. They embody the living biosphere of the planet and the forces of the elements; they are the creators and destroyers. She, The Goddess, is the Queen of Heaven, she is the moon, the source of magical power; she is emotion, intuition and the pyschic faculty. He, The God, is the sun, the source of masculine energy; he is the raw force, wisdom and law.

text: HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn December 14, 2006, about 1815 eastern standard time, a Bell 407, N407JJ, operated by HeloAir Inc., was destroyed when it impacted terrain during takeoff from a private farm field near Dagsboro, Delaware. The certificated commercial pilot and the passenger were fatally injured. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed, and a visual flight rules (VFR) Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) flight plan was filed for the flight, destined for Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), Dulles, Virginia. The non-scheduled passenger flight was conducted under 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 135.According to the operator, the pilot began her work day at 1115, and departed from the helicopter's base in Manassas, Virginia, at 1215. The pilot picked up the passenger at his private residence at 1230, and dropped him off at a golf club in Ocean View, Delaware, at 1330. She then proceeded to Sussex County Airport (GED), Georgetown, Delaware, and refueled the helicopter. The pilot departed Georgetown about 1650, and was scheduled to pick up the passenger at the golf club, about 1730, and return him to Washington Dulles Airport. Another pilot saw and spoke with the accident pilot while at the airport in Georgetown. The pilot observed the accident pilot as she used the weather computer in the pilot lounge to obtain weather information. He then discussed some of this information with the accident pilot including the weather radar, surface observations, and forecasts, as well as general weather patterns in the area. He described that the accident pilot was "nervous" about the weather, and that she expressed this concern to him. The accident pilot checked the weather several times before she departed Georgetown.About 1700, two witnesses observed the helicopter flying at an altitude about 75 feet above the trees, in the vicinity of the accident site. One witness observed the helicopter disappear into fog, and then reappear traveling in the opposite direction. When asked to describe the lighting and the weather in the area at the time, the other witness stated that it was dusk, and that fog was beginning to form. She added that by the time it was dark, around 1730, the fog had worsened and "you couldn't see."About 1715, the accident helicopter landed in a farm field. The property owner did not recognize the helicopter, became concerned, and contacted the Delaware State Police. A state trooper arrived at the helicopter around 1730, and spoke with the pilot. The pilot advised the trooper that she was scheduled to pick up a passenger at a nearby golf club, but was unable to land there due to fog. She diverted from the intended destination and landed in the field to await the passenger's arrival. When he was asked about the light and weather conditions at the time that he talked to the pilot, the trooper noted that it was "dark and foggy."According to the automobile driver of the helicopter passenger, the passenger informed him about 1745 that the helicopter had landed in a farm field about 5 to 7 miles from their location. The driver and passenger departed the golf club, and after the pilot gave him a description of her location, the driver was able to find the helicopter.The driver stopped his vehicle in front of the helicopter, and greeted the pilot. He then asked the pilot if she felt comfortable with the conditions. He specifically pointed out the power lines, irrigation equipment, and the tree line adjacent to the helicopter. The pilot replied that it was a "piece of cake," and pointed to the sky above. The driver recalled that at that time, the stars could clearly be seen. The pilot stated that her only worry was getting across the Chesapeake Bay and to Dulles on time. The driver then asked the pilot if she needed or wanted to use the headlights of his vehicle in any way, to which the pilot responded that it was not necessary. The driver then pulled the vehicle away, and briefly stopped to watch the helicopter take off. Due to the dark lighting conditions and the foggy weather, the driver was unable to see the helicopter or its lights. He drove away shortly thereafter.A witness was working about 800 feet from the accident site at the time of the accident. According to the witness, about 1815, he heard the helicopter's engine start, and proceeded outside to watch the takeoff. The helicopter climbed vertically to a height just above the trees that were to its left and above the utility lines that were to its front, and hovered for a moment. While hovering, the landing light of the helicopter turned on, off, on, and off again. The helicopter then pitched nose down and began to accelerate forward. The witness expected to see the helicopter climb, as he had seen other helicopters do in the past; however, the accident helicopter just accelerated forward in a shallow descent until it impacted the ground. When asked about the sound of the helicopter or its engine during the takeoff, he stated that the sound was smooth and continuous, and that nothing sounded abnormal. The witness additionally described that at the time of the accident it was dark, the fog was dense, and that it thickened throughout the evening. The witness attempted to respond to the accident site, but could not find his way in the darkness and thick fog, and subsequently returned to where he was working to retrieve a video camera with a light attached. A review of the video taken by the witness following the accident revealed weather and lighting conditions consistent with those he reported.An off-duty firefighter reported that he heard, but did not see, the helicopter during the takeoff. After he heard the sounds of impact he contacted local authorities and responded to the scene. At the time that he was making his way to the accident site, he estimated that the visibility was 1/8 mile or less in fog. The accident occurred during the hours of night at 38 degrees 32.913 minutes north latitude, 75 degrees 12.832 minutes west longitude.METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATIONAn AIRMET for instrument metrological conditions encompassing the route of flight between the departure point and the eastern shore of Northern Virginia was issued at 1545. It warned of ceilings below 1,000 feet, and visibilities less than 3 statute miles due to mist and fog, with the conditions continuing beyond 2200.At 1801, the weather conditions reported at Sussex County Airport, located about 11 nautical miles northwest of the accident site, included winds from 100 degrees at 3 knots, 3 statute miles visibility in mist, clear skies, temperature 46 degrees Fahrenheit, dewpoint 45 degrees Fahrenheit, and an altimeter setting of 29.99 inches of mercury.At 1840, the visibility at Sussex County Airport was reported as 1 1/4 statute miles in mist.According to the United States Naval Observatory, on December 14, 2006, the official sunset in Dagsboro, Delaware occurred at 1641, and the end of civil twilight occurred at 1710. Moonrise occurred at 0221 on the following day.At 1002 the pilot contacted the Leesburg, Virginia, Flight Service Station (FSS) in order to file three VFR ADIZ flight plans. She planned to depart Manassas, Virginia, at 1200, then depart the passenger's residence around 1230, and to reenter the ADIZ at 1800. During the telephone call the pilot did not request any weather information from the briefer. The pilot again contacted the Leesburg FSS at 1548, and filed a fourth VFR ADIZ flight plan, for a flight from Dulles Airport to Manassas Airport. The pilot did not request any weather information from the briefer during the telephone call.Examination of telephone records revealed that between 1629 and 1805 the pilot placed 24 telephone calls from her personal mobile phone. Of those telephone calls, two were placed to the Leesburg FSS. The first was placed at 1659 and lasted 9 seconds. The second was placed at 1723, and lasted 171 seconds. Neither telephone call could be correlated with a recorded conversation. Within that same time period, the pilot placed 19 other telephone calls to several automated weather stations. These included, and were located in, Cambridge, Maryland; Manassas, Virginia; Baltimore, Maryland; Arlington, Virginia; Reston, Virginia; Stafford, Virginia; and Leonardtown, Maryland. The calls were of various durations. The shortest was 3 seconds, and the longest was 78 seconds.About 2056, the chief pilot for the operator contacted the Leesburg FSS inquiring about the status of the helicopter. The chief pilot also inquired about the weather conditions in the departure area. The briefer informed the chief pilot that the weather conditions at Easton /Newnam Field (ESN), Easton Maryland included overcast clouds at 100 feet, and a visibility of 1 mile in mist, and that the weather had been "low" there for the previous 3 to 4 hours. The briefer further advised the chief pilot that there had been no recent air traffic control contact with the helicopter.PERSONNEL INFORMATIONThe pilot held a commercial pilot certificate with a rating for rotorcraft-helicopter. She also held a flight instructor certificate with a rating for rotorcraft helicopter. She did not hold an instrument rating. Her most recent Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) second class medical certificate was issued on April 28, 2006, and on that date, she reported 2,800 total hours of flight experience. The pilot's most recent FAR Part 135 recurrent check was conducted on February 8, 2006.According to documentation provided by the operator, as of October 19, 2006 the pilot had logged 3,300 hours of experience acting as pilot-in-command of a helicopter, 500 hours of which were at night.WRECKAGE AND IMPACT INFORMATIONThe wreckage was examined at the site on December 15, 2006. There was a strong odor of fuel, and all major components of the helicopter were accounted for at the scene.The takeoff point of the helicopter was identified by the Delaware State Trooper. Examination of the site revealed two depressions in the ground consistent in size and shape with the helicopter's landing gear skids. No damage was noted in the tree line located about 50 feet south of the takeoff point, nor was any damage noted to the utility lines located about 300 feet west of the takeoff point. The beginning of the wreckage path was located 1,090 feet, bearing 297 degrees magnetic, from the takeoff point. The wreckage path was on flat terrain, oriented in a direction of 288 degrees magnetic, and was 116 feet long. The initial ground scar was about 2 feet long, 8 inches deep. Another ground scar, located directly beyond the initial impact point, was 4 feet long, and about 2 feet deep. The right skid was lodged in the ground at an approximate 40-degree angle to the surface, oriented roughly parallel to the initial ground scar.The cockpit and cabin area were destroyed, and fragmented along the wreckage path. The tailboom was separated into two 5-foot sections, and was lying adjacent to the main wreckage. The fractured ends of the tailboom and fuselage exhibited impact damage consistent with the size and curvature of the leading edge of the main rotor blades. One of the tail rotor blades exhibited impact damage about 8 inches from the blade tip. The engine, transmission, and main rotor system remained attached to the fuselage. All four main rotor blades remained attached to the rotor hub, and the main spar of each blade was intact to its respective tip. Approximately half of the honeycomb afterbody from each main rotor blade was separated and scattered along the wreckage path. All four main rotor blades exhibited s-bending and chord-wise scratching consistent with ground contact. Three of the rotor blades exhibited paint transfer consistent in color with the tailboom and fuselage.All four yoke flextures exhibited delamination and spar fiber fractures, and all four blade down stops exhibited signatures consistent with contact with the pitch horn. Two of the four pitch change links were fractured near their respective bottoms, and the other two were bent. When moved, the swashplate rotated freely. Single pilot controls were installed, and the unused collective and cyclic controls were found in the aft baggage compartment. The installed cyclic and collective controls were separated at their bases. The flight control vertical tunnel was separated at the top and bottom from the fuselage. All three control tubes, two cyclic and one collective, were fractured at various points throughout the system, and all breaks were consistent with overload. Pre-impact continuity of the controls was confirmed to the main and tail rotors.Continuity of the drivetrain was confirmed. The main driveshaft was separated forward of the rotor brake and exhibited rotational scoring. Examination of the engine revealed that the N1 and N2 sections were free to rotate. The engine control unit was removed from the engine, and all electrical connections were snug, and were absent of moisture, corrosion, or debris. The aft main fuel tank was ruptured, but did contain a significant amount of residual fuel, and the ground adjacent to the tank was saturated with fuel. The forward main fuel tank remained intact, and the ground near the separated fuel lines was saturated with fuel.The engine was removed and shipped to the manufacturer for further examination. On February 6, 2007, the engine was mounted in a test stand and run. The engine developed takeoff power and no abnormalities were noted. Examination and download of the engine's Full Authority Digital Engine Control revealed no evidence of any preimpact mechanical malfunction or failure.MEDICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL INFORMATIONAn autopsy was performed on the pilot by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Wilmington, Delaware.The FAA's Bioaeronautical Sciences Research Laboratory, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, performed toxicological testing on the pilot.ORGANIZATIONAL AND MANAGEMENT INFORMATIONAccording to the operator's Operations Manual (OM), section 2.19, Basic Company VFR Weather Minimums, "The PIC [pilot-in-command] will not operate a VFR helicopter without visual surface reference." The manual also listed weather minimums required for a night cross country flight, which included a ceiling of 1,000 feet above the ground, and a visibility of at least 3 miles.According to section 2.27, Flight Destination Minimum Requirements, of the Operations Manual, "The PIC will compile all available information regarding the intended route or airport prior to departure. Prior to the initiation of a flight, the PIC will ensure that his destination is suitable for landing. It is the sole responsibility of the PIC to decide the suitability of any landing zone where he may conduct a flight. Prior to takeoff, the PIC will check the following to ensure the safety of his destination." Several guidelines for the PIC were listed including: a. If the destination is not an approved FAA landing area that the permission of the land owner has been received.b. If the landing is to occur at night that the proper ground lighting or reflective material is in place for the landing.c. Familiarize [yourself] with the terrain and obstruction hazard.d. If the destination is unfamiliar, that an appropriate landing area check has been completed prior to the initiation of the flight.e. Prior coordination to ensure public safety at the landing site.f. Prior to landing the PIC will determine wind direction from an illuminated wind direction indicator, local ground communications, or the PIC's personal observation.According to section 2.30 of the OM, Flight Following/Locating, it was the PIC's responsibility to ensure that they could remain in radio contact with the principal operations base, maintain positive flight following, file a VFR flight plan, or to leave all flight plan information with the principal operations base. Any deviations or alterations to the route of flight, itinerary, or number of passengers would need to be updated with the chief pilot or flight service as soon as possible. In the event that the pilot operated to or from an area or facility where no communications were available, or where communication difficulties could arise, they would establish predetermined reporting times and/or procedures with the principal operations base.The operator reported that their last contact with the accident pilot occurred shortly after she had arrived at Georgetown Airport. The operator further stated that they expected the pilot to report in if she encountered any problems, or needed to change her itinerary.During interviews with company personnel, the flight following/locating procedures were discussed in detail. Pilots were expected to maintain contact with the operations base via radio or mobile telephone. When this was not possible, in accordance with the company operations specifications, pilots could file a flight plan, obtain flight following services, or leave flight plan information on file with the operations base. When flights were conducted after normal business hours, pilots were expected to check in with the president of the company, the chief pilot, or the director of dispatch. There were no formal or informal company procedures defining who was responsible to determine when a particular flight was to be considered overdue. If a flight was more than 1 hour overdue, then the operator was to initiate a "communications search." If the communications search failed to verify the location of the flight, then the proper National Transportation Safety Board office was to be notified, as well as the Director of Operations and the Chief Pilot.ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONAccording to the FAA Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-3), "Night flying is very different from day flying and demands more attention of the pilot. The most noticeable difference is the limited availability of outside visual references. Therefore, flight instruments should be used to a greater degree.… Generally, at night it is difficult to see clouds and restrictions to visibility, particularly on dark nights or under overcast. The pilot flying under VFR must exercise caution to avoid flying into clouds or a layer of fog."The handbook described some hazards associated with flying in airplanes under VFR when visual references, such as the ground or horizon, are obscured. "The vestibular sense (motion sensing by the inner ear) in particular tends to confuse the pilot. Because of inertia, the sensory areas of the inner ear cannot detect slight changes in the attitude of the airplane, nor can they accurately sense attitude changes that occur at a uniform rate over a period of time. On the other hand, false sensations are often generated; leading the pilot to believe the attitude of the airplane has changed when in fact, it has not. These false sensations result in the pilot experiencing spatial disorientation."According to the FAA Instrument Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-15), a rapid acceleration "...stimulates the otolith organs in the same way as tilting the head backwards. This action creates the somatogravic illusion of being in a nose-up attitude, especially in situations without good visual references. The disoriented pilot may push the aircraft into a nose-low or dive attitude."

Awesome customer service
Thanks for everything. I was very impressed with your service :)
Suspension on the 14-foot truck was very bad and truck bounced violently even on the smoothest of roads. Would suggest a new set of heavy-duty shocks for the truck I rented.
The facility was not professional when they phoned to let us know we were picking up the truck from this location rather than our requested Uhaul location. Upon pickup he seemed confused and had to call in to verify the processing of our vehicle. Despite making this call, he clearly did not process the pickup correctly as we later received a call saying we were late picking up our equipment, and when we dropped our equipment off discovered we were given a different truck number than indicated in your system.
This guy had us wait for 45 minutes while he chatted away with his two friends before he even acknowledged we were waiting
Excellent customer service and helpful.
The young man at the desk was very nice and friendly .Excellent customer service.
our move in date should be 6-11-14. I was told we could move in earlier if wanted. I will contact Plan It Storage on Monday.
My reservation was actually useless because when my mother went to get the keys since I was moving from out of town, she had to put everything under her name and it was a big hassle.
The facility is a new property, very clean and pleasent.
I reserved climate control storage, and it was clean and safe. Officer is kind.
very good service.
The facility is new and seems to have up-to-date security features. The facility is clean and orderly. The staff seems very courteous, helpful and very polite.
We decided to go with another storage unit because of pricing. They offered 1/2 price for the first three months. With administrative fees combined it was 120 bucks for three months of storage.

Stability testing is fundamental to all drug development and manufacturing. All organizations need to have a clear vision
of phase appropriate stability study design, organized data collection, strong and appropriate data analysis, clear stability
reports with available analytical methods to achieve the product development goals of stable products going to the consumer
and the marketplace, and meet all of the regulatory requirements for submission. An integrated approach with clear organizational
ownership assures stability testing will add value to all development activities from early formulation, to setting appropriate
acceptance limits on lot release.
