"Records re-engineering"
"SSA makes vital state links"
EVVE project information from National Association for Public Health Statistics and Information Systems
Office of Management and Budget's E-Vital project site
The Social Security Administration and state governments are at odds over implementing one of the Bush administration's e-government projects.
The eVital project, which aims to automate the delivery of certified birth and death records maintained by the states, threatens to reduce state revenues when states need all they can get.
Sales of certified birth and death records are an important revenue source for most state health departments, said leaders of the National Association for Public Health Statistics and Information Systems (NAPHSIS), which represents the states.
SSA officials propose to pay states for delivering the records electronically, but the amount is far too little, said Kenneth Beam, NAPHSIS' executive director.
He said SSA and state officials are negotiating the amount, and he expressed confidence that an agreement would be reached.
Eight states are participating in the Electronic Verification of Vital Events (EVVE) pilot program, in which the agency can verify birth or death records for people applying for retirement, death or disability benefits. To protect individuals' privacy, the verification requests go through a hub server maintained by NAPHSIS, and the results are returned to SSA as either a match with state records or not a match.
Some states feel the federal government is trying to get something for practically nothing, said Alvin Onaka, NAPHSIS president, Hawaii state registrar and chief of the state's Office of Health Status Monitoring. "The states have provided a tremendous contribution to the Social Security Administration," he said.
He said SSA officials are not considering the cost of building the systems that EVVE queries. "The investment has all been in the states," Onaka said, "and there needs to be some return on that investment."
Hawaii is an EVVE pilot program participant. State law requires certain fees for birth certificates, he said, and the laws govern the EVVE relationship. As a result, his office cannot supply birth information at the rates proposed by SSA.
"The states cannot lose money" from supplying information to SSA, he said.
SSA spokesman Martha McNish declined to discuss the issue, only saying, "We're in the process of analyzing the pilot [eVital project], and then we'll decide how to proceed."
According to NAPHSIS, SSA and the states agreed to have an accounting firm study the costs and revenues associated with certified birth and death records in participating states. At the end of a four-month study, the consulting firm of KPMG LLP recommended that SSA pay the states $6.42 for each birth record match and $9.38 for each death record.
But SSA officials rejected those rates and instead proposed to pay a maximum $1.50 per certificate or verification received electronically.
The program will accelerate SSA's record checking of people applying for benefits and will reduce the agency's costs. Verifying the age of a person claiming Social Security benefits takes an average of 10.6 days, according to NAPHSIS officials.
eVital is expected to reduce fraud from applicants who present false or altered documents. Applicants would no longer need to present copies of birth and death certificates to SSA and other federal agencies.

Leica Announces the S2
A New 37-megapixel D-SLR Bigger than 35mm
Cologne, Germany (September 23, 2008) -- LEICA S2 - Remarkable new camera from Germany redefines the professional DSLR class with a custom 37.5-megapixel, 30 x 45 mm sensor built into a 35mm-sized body.
Some companies tweak the features. At Leica, we transform the concept. That's why the introduction of the flagship Leica S2 is not merely an incremental advance. It is nothing less than a watershed event that sets an entirely new performance standard for professional digital SLRS. With a custom 37.5-megapixel, 30 x 45 mm sensor that is 56% larger than full frame, it establishes parameters of imaging excellence that are well beyond those obtainable by conventional pro-caliber DSLRs. In the Leica tradition, it utilizes the classic 3:2 aspect ratio that corresponds to the human field of vision and is widely acclaimed as the "Leica Format."
In designing this brilliant new camera, Leica's engineers took a close look at the best existing DSLR designs and then synergized them into a radical but practical new camera that combines the performance parameters of a medium-format digital camera with the ergonomics, form factor, and handling ease of a 35mm SLR. The result is the new Leica S2, an entirely new, finely crafted, professional tool developed in-house by Leica with hands-on input from some of the most renowned professional photographers in the world. It incorporates an advanced new dual shutter system with in-body focal-plane shutter for fast lenses, and in-lens leaf shutters for high flash sync speeds, an ultra-high-precision autofocusing system, a new series of lenses designed for the highest possible performance with the new sensor, and a Maestro image processing system that provides twice the speed of comparable medium-format backs, reduces power consumption, and provides in-camera JPEG capability. Remarkably, all of this has been incorporated into a camera that is smaller than a full-size professional 35mm SLR, and still has the unmistakable look and feel of a Leica.
Like Leica cameras of the past, we designed the new Leica S2 from the inside out, and its robust styling is a classic example of form following function. We began with a cutting-edge, large-format CCD sensor and literally configured the camera around it rather than adapting existing technologies. In this way we achieved a new level of performance without sacrificing size or convenience. Yes the S2 Leica is our latest masterpiece, an unequivocal statement to the world that showcases our technological prowess. But it is more than just a technological tour de force. It is a statement of Leica's continuing pre-eminence in the world of imaging that goes back nearly 100 years. Perhaps that is why our top executives in Germany have compared the announcement of the Leica S2 to the debut of the first Leica, the legendary model A in 1925. That seminal camera did nothing less than redefine 35mm photography in the 20th century and we believe that the Leica S2 may well do the same for DSLR photography in the 21st.

Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin
Random House, Aug 31, 2011 - History - 544 pages
In the middle of Europe, in the middle of the twentieth century, the Nazi and Soviet regimes murdered fourteen million people in the bloodlands between Berlin and Moscow. In a twelve-year-period, in these killing fields - today's Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Western Russia and the eastern Baltic coast - an average of more than one million citizens were slaughtered every year, as a result of deliberate policies unrelated to combat.
In his revelatory book Timothy Snyder offers a ground-breaking investigation into the motives and methods of Stalin and Hitler and, using scholarly literature and primary sources, pays special attention to the testimony of the victims, including the letters home, the notes flung from trains, the diaries on corpses. The result is a brilliantly researched, profoundly humane, authoritative and original book that forces us to re-examine the greatest tragedy in European history and re-think our past.

The pay TV industry is now confronting both cord cutting (dropping cable altogether) and cord shaving (downgrading to less expensive bundles).
HBO will begin selling an online service that does not require a pay TV subscription sometime in 2015, CEO Richard Plepler said Oct. 15. While he offered few details, Plepler said the U.S. service would be a "stand-alone, over-the-top" offering. HBO currently offers such a service in several Nordic countries.
CBS Oct. 16 announced All Access, a subscription-based online service that lets users watch live and on-demand shows like "The Good Wife" and "Survivor" on their computer and Android or iOS device. The service costs $5.99 per month and does not require a pay TV subscription.
"We think cord shaving is a reality going forward."
ESPN and TNT are estimated by SNL Kagan, a research firm, to be the two most expensive cable channels, with ESPN collecting $6.04 per subscriber and TNT collecting $1.44 per subscriber. Skinny bundles, which are aimed at cost-conscious consumers, typically don't include these and other expensive channels.
These skinny bundles typically start at around $30 per month (although the price can vary by market) and often include broadband Internet and a limited selection of cable channels. More expensive bundles including hundreds of channels can cost more than $100 per month in some cases.
ComScore data published Oct. 14 reveal that 24% of 18-to-24-year-olds do not have a traditional pay TV service. Of these people, 13% previously had pay TV service but later cut the cord while 11% have never subscribed to a pay TV service.
Time Warner Cable lost 184,000 video subscribers in Q3 2014, the company reported Oct. 30. Analysts had only expected a loss of 136,000 video subscribers. The company now has 10.8 million video subscribers, down from 11.4 million one year ago. TWC said the loss was partially offset by the addition of 92,000 broadband subscribers.
Comcast, which is in the process of buying TWC for $45.2 billion, similarly lost 81,000 video subscribers in Q3 2014. That number was also partially offset by the addition of 315,000 new broadband subscribers.
An April 2014 survey published by Experian Marketing Services said that 7.6 million U.S. households, or 6.5% of all U.S. households, had cut the cord -- up 44% in the past three years. Ownership of an iPhone or iPad "noticeably increases the odds" that a household will cut the cord, Experian said.
Experian also found that households who only watch streaming video on mobile devices are 1.5 times more likely to cut the cord, while those who watch streaming video on TV are 3.2 times more likely to cut the cord.
Dish Network said Aug. 5 that it had reached a deal with A&E Networks that will see the entertainment company provide programming from channels like A&E, the History Channel, and Lifetime for the satellite provider's upcoming online television service.

Kim Kardashian Does a Wardrobe 180: See Her Day-to-Night Style (PHOTOS)
Kim Kardashian worked her wardrobe on Wednesday, nailing two very different looks for day and for night.
By day, the reality star opted for a pulled-together but professional look in head-to-toe neutrals for a busy day at Bal Harbour mall in Miami, where she joined her sisters Khloe and Kourtney for a photo shoot and lunch.
By night, Kardashian swung to the other end of the spectrum, showing off a completely different side to her style.
Though she stuck to monochromatic neutral outfits, her two outfits were as different as day and night.
As our cheesy pun implied, Kardashian went for maximum contrast in color and coverage to transition from work to play.
And while the style chameleon did a complete 180, from a neutral pants-and-jacket combo to a figure-hugging black LBD, she never strayed from her edgy take on sophisticated glamour or the fitted silhouettes that flatter her curvy figure.
The business woman nailed casual chic, dressing up skinnies and a tee with a blazer, heels, and a gold necklace. Though she stuck to basics, Kardashian's daytime outfit was far from boring: Playing with texture gave Kardashian's tone-on-tone look a modern edge but kept the overall look sophisticated, making it the perfect outfit for grabbing drinks with clients (or to wear to work if your office has a more casual dress code).
Opting for a sultry but still sophisticated night-out look, Kardashian sported a tight, long-sleeved black dress with a V-neckline. Black Christian Louboutin pumps elongated the petite star's frame, but the classic closed-toe style countered her dress' shorter hemline and dipping neckline.
Though Kardashian's after-five style had that same polished glamour as her daytime ensemble, the sexier silhouette and shade was perfect for transitioning to happy hour.
And while Kardashian's wardrobe did a 180, after Mario Dedinanovich created the perfect day-to-night makeup to go with her tousled waves, the reality star was feeling glam all day and night -- which was clearly reflected in both her outfits.
Kardashian even tweeted about how glam she felt:
Glam sesh with @atkinjen @makeupbymario !!! Glam is on another level today!instagr.am/p/Qm93JpOS6i/
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) October 10, 2012
Can you relate -- does changing up your hair and makeup ever inspire the rest of your look?
Which look do you like better, or like us, are you excited to check out the gallery above to see her day-to-night transformation tricks?

Cades Cove Loop Road to reopen month early; 'Loop Lope' planned
GATLINBURG — Cades Cove Loop Road will reopen about a month earlier than expected after a $6.7 million redo of the popular 11-mile route in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The road was projected to be closed three months, beginning March 1, for major work, including a repaving of the loop.
The April 24 reopening will feature a field day with only bicycles and pedestrians allowed on the road, which is used by an estimated 563,000 vehicles a year, until noon.
On Sunday morning, April 25, the park and the Friends of the Smokies are planning a one-time-only "Cades Cove Loop Lope," which will offer pre-registered runners a choice of the full 11-mile loop or a 3.5 mile loop course.
Both events are being planned to minimize visitor inconvenience.
Construction work was briefly halted earlier this month over disagreements in the Senate on a stopgap funding bill that affected federal road projects.
Park Superintendent Dale Ditmanson today credited contractor APAC-Atlantic Inc. Harrison Division and the Federal Highway Administration with "capable management and aggressive efforts" in completing the project early. The contract also had financial incentives for early completion.
The park has historically declined requests to stage foot and bicycle road races in Cades Cove because of heavy visitation and the popularity of such events.
The first major facelift of the road since 1978 prompted the park to allow the events, according to Ditmanson.
The loop is usually limited to bicycles and pedestrians until 10 a.m. Saturday and Wednesday from May through September. The one-time closure on April 24 will be extended to noon.
Parking will be available in one of the loop's mowed pastures.
Additionally, access to Cades Cove on April 24 beyond the Townsend Wye will be limited to noon to visitors who are going to bike or walk.
Details of the race will be posted on the Friends of the Smokies Web site at www.friendsofthesmokies.org/events.html in the next several days.
Pre-registration is expected, and participants are encouraged to ride-share due to parking limitations since a maxium of 150 vehicle passes will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The run will begin at 8 a.m. with the loop reopening at noon.
More details as they develop online and in Thursday's News Sentinel.

Johnny Damon still open to playing — or managing — but only in the Majors
Feb 9, 2014, 8:20 PM EST
Last month, reports indicated that Johnny Damon was still interested in continuing his playing career. That hasn't changed, but as Marc Topkin notes for the Tampa Bay Times, Damon would also be opening to managing. With either endeavor, however, Damon would only be interested in a job at the Major League level.
Damon didn't play last season and put up an uninspiring .610 OPS for the Indians in 2012. He turned 40 years old back in November. As a result, job opportunities for Damon have been virtually nonexistent.

Advantages: Nice comfortable hotel
Disadvantages: A bit out of the city and a soulless location
...There?s always a compromise to be had with the cheaper end of the London hotel market; location versus size of room. In terms of room space and quality, the London Ramada Docklands was excellent. In terms of location, it felt we were stopping at an industrial park in Essex somewhere, rather than having a night in London. Still, we are rarely night owls these days so we might as well be in...

One thing you can always rely on technology to do is speed things up. Everything, from processors to phones to networks gets faster. Heck, there are actual laws that define this phenomenon. So when at a recent Akamai analyst event a speaker made the offhand comment that the Web is getting slower, it pretty much made me sit up in my seat and say "what?"
My first gut instinct was to say "No way, this is technology, things don't get slower. I used to have a…Continue

Let's face it, complexity sucks. This is true when it comes to most things in life: complex solutions are not elegant. Complex things tend to break down quickly. And it's certainly true that complex apps are more difficult to learn and to use. Yet, when it comes to mobile app strategy, most businesses today over complicate their efforts.
Most enterprise developers today bring their traditional IT development habits with them to mobile. They aim to build the perfect app, with every…Continue

Last week I talked about how people are thinking too small when they think about the Internet of Things.

With heavy spikes in data traffic in-store, companies must make sure their complete online commerce operations are up for the task.
Despite their original intentions, consumers' interest in shopping online can be sabotaged by the user experience. Heavy transaction loads can lead to delays in system processing or system crashes, causing frantic holiday shoppers to switch to other sites, even abandoning full shopping carts if response times fail to meet expectations.

Ever since Demi Lovato left rehab in early 2011, she's been as open about her personal life as any celebrity out there.
But while Lovato has gladly offered up stories about her eating disorder and body images issues, she's rarely talked about one of the people most important to her... until now!
The singer took to Twitter today and posted a romantic photo of boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama planting a smooch in her cheek. And she included with it a very revealing caption.
"I never post personal pictures like this but f-ck.. He is perfect. I miss my @WValderrama," Lovato wrote.
You can't get much sweeter or more personal than that, can you

'Subtitling not same as translating words into English'
Haricharan Pudipeddi
[ Wed, Nov 28, 2012 ]
Chennai, Nov 29 (IANS) She does a wonder job in an industry which aims to entertain people the world over. Rekhs has subtitled 123 films across four languages - Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu and Marathi -- in the last two years and says subtitling is more than just translating words into English.
"The lack of awareness about subtitling is one of the biggest challenges. The other is convincing people that subtitling is not the same as translating words into English," Rekhs told IANS.
"You can't translate words and call it subtitling because it may be correct, but when flashed on screen it might affect the readability of the audience," she added.
Proficient in Tamil, English and Hindi, Rekhs says there are many factors that must be considered for subtitling a movie in the right way.
"Subtitling has a pattern in which the lines have to be placed on the screen. I've consulted an ophthalmologist and according to him, the first line of the subtitles should be shorter in length than the second line, forming a pyramid pattern and thus ensuring readability without irking the eyes. Even an extra full stop or capital alphabet in between the lines will irk the viewer," she said.
Rekhs admits subtitling helps to take a movie beyond its immediate audience, to the global world, but more than that, she hopes subtitles popularise regional cinema within India itself.
"I don't want subtitles to be used by films only with the intention to be sent to film festivals and national awards selection committee. I want all regional films to have subtitles so that they cater to different language communities within India before going global. There are so many north Indians in Chennai who don't watch Tamil films because they can't understand the language," she said.
It is an unusual career option. But Rekhs says she neither took any formal training for it nor did she ever aspire to make it her life's biggest passion.
"I learnt subtitling on a trial-and-error basis and not by subscribing to any course. It was more or less an experiment in the case of my first film 'Thoovanam'. But following the response of my second project 'Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya', I was passionate about what I was doing," she said.
It hasn't been a smooth ride for Rekhs, who holds a degree in Fine Arts. Even after her second project, she candidly admits that she went knocking on every door.
"Between my second project and third, which was 'Enthiran', I must have approached at least 50 producers. None showed any interest and considered the whole concept alien and worthless. But, 'Enthiran' opened the floodgates to many more projects", she added.
Continued on next page...
However, subtitling is a time consuming process, feels Rekhs, who hardly gets ample time to work serenely on a single project.
"It is very unlikely that I get time to work peacefully. I usually take about one week to complete a film and most films come to me two or three days prior to the release and since I work on multiple projects simultaneously, it becomes difficult to manage. Thankfully, I have a team of five to rely on," added Rekhs, who also relies upon her team for Telugu and Malayalam films.
Having pursued her masters in history, is subtitling a lucrative career option?
"I charge about Rs.50,000 per film and sadly I'm always sucked into the game of bargaining. Sometimes, I don't even get paid for my work. But that doesn't affect me as much as (it affects to see how) big production companies hesitate to pay a pittance of the film's budget as my work fee," she said.
Rekhs says very few in the industry have been of support to her and she hopes sooner or later, people will realise the importance of subtitles.
"People like Vijay (Tamil actor) have been very appreciative of my work, while directors such as Lakshmy Ramakrishnan and Vineet Srinivasan have given me the privilege of having my name on the film's title card. I wish more actors come forward and support my initiative," she added.

With the popularity of sport and adventure touring at an all-time high, the advancement of the incredibly versatile modular helmet segment was a must for SHOEI engineers. Though still a respected part of our 2012 helmet lineup, the Multitec's modular design was used as a backbone, analyzed with scrupulous eyes, and tweaked ever so slightly to yield the most progressive flip-up helmet on the market today—the all-new Neotec. Boasting improved shell aerodynamics, a wider and taller field of vision, a reduction in wind noise, an internal sun shield, and a fully removable, washable and replaceable liner system, the Neotec is the next level of modular helmet design for today's hybrid motorcyclists.Overall shell size is kept compact by incorporating the internal sun visor's open/close mechanism inside; all ventilation mechanisms are shaped and positioned in such a way as to reduce any possible drag. A redesigned aerodynamic spoiler also helps to cut lift, reducing neck strain on long, cross country rides. All these features combine to create a premium helmet that excels in appearance, protection, comfort and performance. The Neotec's chin bar is connected to the same axis point and mechanism as its shield, minimizing extra parts. This also enables simultaneous closing of the shield with the chin bar, which is then held in place with an easy-open lock release button. The shield lock system offers secure closure or the ability to keep the shield slightly open to allow for increased airflow. With the Neotec SHOEI now includes a built-in sun shield, the QSV-1. The visor tucks neatly away beneath a non-intrusive shell built into the helmet's liner, and can be lowered with the easy control of a sliding button.Features: -Easily operable lever mechanism -Anti-fog, anti-scratch, 99% UV blocking -New Pinlock-ready CNS-1 faceshield -Wider and taller than the CX-1V that it replaces -Includes Pinlock insert -3D injection molding process insures a distortion-free view -Newly designed vortex generators pull air through helmet -276% more airflow than Multitec -Added inlets and outlets -Vents are flush against helmet to maintain aerodynamics -5-Ply Shock-Absorbing Fiber Shell -3 shell sizes -AIM Multi-Composite construction -Lightweight yet strong -Shell-integrated spoiler reduces lift and drag during high-speed riding -Multi-density Dual EPS for optimal protection -Two vents funnel fresh air through the EPS liner -Dual liner channels route and disperse air evenly throughout the helmet -EPS liner in chin bar -All new interior -Fully removable 3D interior liner -Top center pad is removable and washable -Improved cheekpad design allows better fit with eyeglasses -Included chin curtain can be inserted into the chin bar to reduce turbulence and noise -All Neotec Helmets sold in the US have a double D-ring closure.

Quality built helmet
By TWIN
from Durham, NC
Comments about Shoei Neotec Modular Helmet:
My adult career has been in Quality Control & Quality Assurance (i.e. manufacturing). This helmet is superbly constructed. The interior materials are lush & the exterior is finished nicely. It's quiet...and doesn't fog if you use the face shield insert & attach the included breath guard...(and vent it properly if needed--of course). This helmet is very similar to Shoei's RF 1100 and adds more comfort in a modular design. If you can only purchase one helmet...buy this one!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

finally a quiet helmet
By Jeff
from solomon ,ks
See all my reviews
I have severe tinnitus and wear glasses.I wore this helmet the night I got it.Couldn't believe how quiet it was and the ease of wearing glasses in them.I don't have to wear earplugs in them,except for being able to hear the exhaust now on my dr650 with FMF pipe.The hjc isbt I had was horrible in both areas.Couldn't here the exhaust with the hjc cause of wind noise in helmet.I'll have to put the spark arrestor back in now.My head is a round 23" ,this is a large.Fit is good,could be tighter on forehead,cheek pads are tight,I could have gotten buy with a medium,but would have to adress the cheek pad issue.Can't wait to add bluetooth.Is it worth [$],yes if u want to keep your hearing.Don't do like me,I bought two $200+ helmets that were worse than my $125 AFX ds 39 .(The AFX is a great bargin @ $125)There's $525 + shipping and hassle.Buy this or one of the other high end helmets.
Just may be the perfect helmet
By Sierra Nevada Rider
from Reno NV
I've used a Shoei modular helmet for over 20 years; so I thought it was time to upgrade. Bought a Nolan N104; bad idea! BAD idea.The N104 is noisy, leaks air, large shell.Although I don't like the price, the Neotec XXL may be the perfect helmet. Great air flow & fit, plush washable interior & D-ring strap, no air leaks, very quiet, stylish. I like the single release button & single hinge for the pin shield/chin bar. The smaller shell fits in my side case & the D-rings can be used to secure the Neotec to the bike.Don't try to go cheap like I did (cost me $90). Buy a Neotec the first time, you won't regret it.
New Neotec is great helmet
By Sequim rider
from Sequim WA
I switched from an old Shoei to this new Neotec. I was using it during slow riding in cool weather and rain and the combination of the pin lock fog-free lens and convenient tilt face shield, no fogging was encountered. The cheek pads kind of push in your cheeks a bit but that means it is snug and therefore quiet and won't move around. It's the bee's knees for helmets.
