Printer shows Offline?
I have an Officejet Pro L7680 printer, and I have two new Windows 7 laptops that share the same problem going through the wireless home network. The printer status shows as OFFLINE, but when I restart the laptops, it prints the documents that are waiting in the print queue after the restart. My desktop is able to connect without any problems through the home network cable. ANy thoughts?

Re: Printer shows Offline?
I am using my Quick Dog, a Cisco Valet Plus Wireless router. The Utility ran fine, and it shows that the printer is Enabled, but the dialog box still shows the printer as Offine. I know it is connected, as when I restart my computer, the signal is sent through the router and the network, and it prints after the restart. There must me a button or a check box someplace that keeps the printer Offline. I have clicked around in the Properties box, but nothing changes.
Re: Printer shows Offline?
Life is too serious to be taken seriously
Re: Printer shows Offline?
Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). Yours is 192.168.1.100 to .149. Let's use 192.168.1.200 for your printer.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 184.108.40.206 for the first DNS and 184.108.40.206 for the second DNS.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Re: Printer shows Offline?
Good News, and thanks to all that replied. As I was clicking around, I noticed in the OfficeJet Properties window a button, Configure Ports at the lower right. In the next window, I clicked OFF the SNMP Status Enabler, and my document in the print queue printed. Now I am going to my daughters laptop and fix that,
Thanks again. Jim
Re: Printer shows Offline?
my printer shows off line when I try to print something from by desktop. My husband can print remote with his laptop with no problem. When I go into the printer list, it does not show working offline checked but up at the top it says printer offline. I've tried rebooting, turning off the modem, turning off the printer, disconnecting the USB, I went to help and followed the direction to go to services and click printer spool and make sure it is set. it showed STOP instead of start, so I clicked start...still would not show online. I've had this off and on and try everything and then it all of a sudden in a day or so starts printing again. But the offline always happens when I REALLY need to be able to print. I am soon getting to the point of my next solution being a hammer......so frustrated...and i am not very computer handy..... what do I try next?

You don't even know how you got here. Hello, year's end -- what the heck happened? I know that's what I'm thinking the morning of New Year's Eve. It's time to party like it's... 2011, and I still feel like I can't prepare for tonight's festivities enough. Are you ready?
If you have these purse musts or comparable items, you should be good to go:
For the sweat: You obviously can't lug the signature scent sitting on your vanity -- it's too big to fit in a clutch. But then again, you know you'll be sweating bullets from all the dancing and partying. Solution? Carry a fragrance sample to dab behind your year. You can also buy tiny rollerball versions of your fave fragrances at Sephora stores!
For the kiss: At the strike of midnight, get ready, girl. Keep your breathe fresh with gum, or you can rub some Supersmile Quikee Mini Gel ($6 at Supersmile) on your teeth to stay kissable and picture-ready all night. And, don't forget about your lips! Use the Sugar Lip Treatment with SPF 15 ($22.50 at Fresh). Its blend of oils, waxes and real sugar will keep you chapped- free and smoochable all winter.
For the dancing: Who are you kidding? You won't be able to dance in the heels all night. Arm yourself with these CitySlips Ballet Flats ($24.95 at City Slips) or any other pair of bendy flats in your wardrobe. Just roll them up and throw 'em in your purse. If you refuse to kick the heels, at least use these Killer Kushionz ($6.50 at Foot Petals).
For the memories: Freeze the fun times using a digital camera. If it's as small and cute as this Polaroid i836 Pink 8.0MP Digital Camera ($47.49 at Overstock), even better!
Long after New Year's Eve, these tips are still relevant for the usual girls night out or date rendezvous. Now go and enjoy, ladies! See you next year!
Are you prepared for tonight's New Year's Eve festivities? Chime in below!

Being a professional and smelling a paycheck, however, he did his best. He came up with a particularly nasty mailer, sent out around Halloween, which depicted a skeleton holding a bomb. His message: Dania Beach will raise taxes. "Dania Beach could soon be your worst nightmare," the mailer intoned. (It remains to be seen whether the contention is true, because the annexation won't be finalized until September.)
Blattner did a poor job of running Hollywood Yes!, according to a campaign source who asked not to be identified. "We would do polling, and when Dick didn't like the answers we got, he said we asked the questions wrong," the source says. "Every time we gave him advice, he ignored it."
Blattner says he did his best but just wasn't provided enough money to mount an effective campaign. He was trying to raise money during a presidential election, he adds, and everyone he approached was already tapped out. "There was so much else going on," he says.
At the outset he put his chances of winning at 50-50. Jenne's residence in the area proved a big factor. Dania Beach is under contract with BSO for police service, notes Blattner, and there was no way Jenne was going to live in an area patrolled by Hollywood cops. "The sheriff made it very clear he would never support his area going to Hollywood," recalls Blattner. "He said, "If this area votes to go to Hollywood, my house will be up for sale the next day.'" (Jenne did not return phone calls from New Times seeking comment.)
As for the Hollywood cops canvassing the area, Blattner says he welcomed the help. "When our police chief [James Scarberry] asked if we wanted volunteers, we were delighted to have the help," he says.
That proved to be another poor decision, according to a campaign insider. "It backfired on them," the source says. "If any [resident of the unincorporated area] was sitting on the fence before, that got them off real quick. How would you like armed police showing up at your door?"

NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) today launched its smallest-ever SelfServ ATM, bringing a low total cost of ownership and high availability to off-premise banking. Working in partnership with Cardtronics – the world's largest retail ATM owner – NCR designed the SelfServ 14 to offer a proven cash dispenser with high availability while taking up just 0.27 square meters of floor space. Cardtronics has already purchased a significant number of NCR SelfServ 14 ATMs for deployment in various locations within the U.S.

The SelfServ 14 can run APTRA software, enabling customers to deploy a single software solution across their entire estate. From the smallest off-premise cash dispenser up to the most sophisticated multifunction ATM, the APTRA suite of applications and management tools enables easy integration and network management.
The SelfServ 14 is being made available through NCR's direct and indirect channels on a global basis. According to London-based RBR, 49.5 percent of global ATMs are located off site.
"With market leadership positions in both retail ATM placements and associated financial institution branding, Cardtronics was uniquely qualified to provide NCR with meaningful marketplace feedback as it worked to pack the features of larger SelfServ ATMs into a more compact and affordable model for off-premise deployments," said Rick Updyke, president, Cardtronics U.S. business group. "The NCR SelfServ 14 retains upscale functionalities such as screen advertising, enabling Cardtronics to deliver its value proposition to a wider audience of merchants."The NCR SelfServ 14 features the same consumer-friendly look and feel as NCR's SelfServ 16 and its modular design helps make servicing easy. It features up to three 2,000 note cassettes, a proven NCR spray dispenser, a UL291 Level 1 construction materials vault and a 10" color TFT LCD display.

Each year I sat and listened as my classmates in my New York City preparatory school talked about how they'd spent the summers in the Hamptons or in Florida or in Europe with their rich parents, or au pairs, or as we grew older, boyfriends and girlfriends. By the time we reached high school, the same glitzy stories got told over and over again: escapades in Paris with supermodels, all-night parties on the beaches in the Bahamas with rock starsevery student vied for attention with exploits that got wilder every year.
But my story was always the same. My mother worked as a florist, and because most of her income went to paying for that school, we never left New York City. On her days off we spent our afternoons in Central Park soaking up the sun. After she got sick, my summers were spent in the hospital with her, holding her hair back as the chemo attacked her system or flipping through the television channels looking for something to watch.
It wasn't the Hamptons. It wasn't Florida. It wasn't Europe. But they were my summers.
The one after my first six months with Henry, however, blew every single summer my classmates ever had out of the water.
"I can't believe you'd never swum with dolphins before," said James as I drove down a rough dirt road that didn't see much use. We were back in the upper peninsula of Michigan and surrounded by trees taller than most buildings. The closer we got to Eden Manor, the wider my grin spread.
"It's not like we had a ton of them in the Hudson River," I said, nudging the accelerator. We were so far from civilization that there weren't any posted speed limits, and the last time I'd been down this road, my mother had been too ill for me to risk taking advantage of it. But now, after the council had granted me immortality, the only thing I risked was my old beat-up car. So far, I liked the perks.
James bit off a piece of jerky and offered me the rest. I wrinkled my nose. "Suit yourself," he said. "You realize you're going to have to tell Henry about everything we did, right?"
I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye. "I hadn't planned on otherwise. Why? What's wrong with that?"
James shrugged. "Nothing. I figured he wouldn't be too thrilled with the idea of you spending six months in Greece with some dark, handsome stranger, that's all."
I laughed so hard I nearly drove off the side of the road. "And who was this dark, handsome stranger? I don't remember him."
"Exactly what you should say to Henry, and we'll both be in the clear," said James cheerfully.
It was a joke, of course. James was my best friend, and we had spent the whole summer together touring ancient ruins, vast cities and breathtaking islands in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Maybe one of the most romantic, too, but James was James, and I was married to Henry.
Married. I still wasn't used to it. I'd kept my black diamond wedding ring on a chain around my neck, too afraid of losing it to wear it properly, and now that we were only a mile or so away from Eden, it was time to put it back on. I'd struggled to pass the seven tests the council of gods had given me to see if I was worthy of immortality and becoming Queen of the Underworld, and because I'd wononly barelyHenry and I were now technically husband and wife.
With the silence between us for the past six months, however, it didn't feel like it. I hadn't admitted it to James, but I'd spent the summer glancing around in hopes of seeing Henry in the crowd, there even when he wasn't supposed to be. But no matter how hard I'd looked, I hadn't seen any sign of him. Granted, half a year was practically a blink of an eye for someone who had existed since before the birth of humanity. But surely a sign that he missed me wasn't too much to ask for.
I pushed my worries from my mind as the black wrought iron gate of Eden Manor came into view. No matter what had or hadn't happened during the summer, I would have the chance to be with Henry now, and I wasn't going to waste a moment.
"Home sweet home," I said as I drove through the gate. I could do this. Henry would be waiting for me, and he'd be thrilled to see me. My mother would be there, too, and I wouldn't have to go another six months without seeing her again. Everything would be okay.
James craned his neck to look at the brightly colored trees that lined the road. "All right?" he said to me.
"I should be asking you that," I said, eyeing the way he drummed his fingers on the armrest nervously. He stilled, and after a moment I added before I could stop myself, "He'll be happy to see me, right?"
James blinked and said coolly, "Who? Henry? Couldn't say. I'm not him."
That was the last answer I'd been expecting, but as soon as he said it, I realized I was an idiot for expecting anything else. James would have been the one to replace Henry as the ruler of the Underworld if I'd failed, and even though it hadn't come up on our trip, James was undoubtedly still sore about it.
"Could you at least try to pretend to be happy for me?" I said. "You can't spend your entire existence mad about that."
"I'm not mad. I'm worried," he said. "You don't have to do this if you don't want to, you know. No one would blame you."
"Do what? Not go back to Eden?" I'd already passed the tests. I'd told Henry I'd be back. We were married, for crying out loud.
"Everyone's acting like you're the be all and end all for Henry," said James. "It isn't fair to put you under that kind of pressure."
Good lord, he really was talking about not going back. "Listen, James, I know you liked Greeceso did Ibut if you think you can talk me into not going back"
"I'm not trying to talk you into anything," said James with surprising firmness. "I'm trying to make sure no one else does. This is your life. No one's going to take your mother away from you now if you decide you don't want to do this after all."
"That's notthat's not why I'm going back at all," I sputtered.
"Then why are you, Kate? Give me one good reason, and I'll drop it."
"I can give you a dozen."
"I only want one."
I sniffed. It wasn't any of his business. I'd nearly died in my attempts to save Henry from fading; I wasn't going to walk away from him because of the possibility that I might not like the Underworld. "I don't know how you do things, but I love Henry, and I'm not going to leave him just because you don't think he's good for me."
"Fair enough," said James. "But what are you going to do if Henry doesn't love you?"
I slammed on the brakes and forced the car into park so violently that the handle on the parking brake snapped off. The car was a piece of shit anyway. "That's impossible. He said he loves me, and I trust him not to lie to me. Unlike someone else I know."
I glared at him, but his expression didn't change. With a huff, I climbed out of the car, cursing as the seat belt caught on my jeans. After my few failed attempts to untangle myself, James reached over and gently undid it for me.
"Don't be mad," he said. "Please. After what happened to PersephoneI want to make sure you don't have to go through the same thing, all right? That's all."
I wasn't an idiot. I knew part of Henry would always be in love with Persephone. After all, he'd lost the will to continue after she'd given up her immortality to die and spend eternity with a mortal, and he wouldn't have felt that way if his entire existence hadn't revolved around her. But I could give him the one thing she never hadloving him in return.
"If you really are happy and you two love each other equally, then great," said James. "Good luck to you both. But if you don'tif you wake up one day and realize you're forcing yourself to love him because you think it's the right thing to do, not because he makes you happier than you've ever beenthen I want to make sure you know you have a choice. And if you ever want to leave, all you have to do is say the word, and I'll go with you."
I stormed toward the front doors of the manor, yanking hard. "Great, so if I ever decide that Henry's life isn't worth it, I'll be sure to let you know. Help me with these, will you?"
James didn't say a word as he joined me and opened the heavy doors as if they were made of feathers. I slipped inside and forced a smile, expecting to see Henry waiting for me in the magnificent entrance hall made of mirrors and marble. But the foyer was empty.
"Where is everyone?" I said, my smile fading.
"Waiting for you, I suspect." James stepped in after me, and the door slammed behind us, echoing through the hall. "You didn't think we were going to stay here, did you?"
"I didn't know there was anywhere else to stay."
He draped his arm over my shoulders, but when I shrugged it off, he shoved his hands in his pockets instead. "Of course there's someplace else. Follow me."
James led me to the center of the foyer, where amidst the white marble was a perfect circle. It was made of crystal that shimmered with a rainbow of colors in the sunlight that streamed in from the windows, and it was beautiful. When I tried to continue to the other side of the hall, he grabbed my hand and stopped me.
"This is our stop," he said, looking down.
I stared at the cry...

Is Heidi Montag ready for her close-up? Well, with all that plastic surgery, we certainly hope so, since The Hills star has just dropped some major news.
"I was just cast in my first feature film comedy!" Montag wrote on her Twitter page Wednesday. "I start filming monday!!!!!"
Though Heidi and her husband Spencer Pratt usually have a knack for blowing their celebrity way out of proportion, it seems Montag has really hit the big time, as her new movie, Just Go With It, stars Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler, and Nicole Kidman.
"It's a new day, a new beginning... memorizing my script for the feature comedy movie I am filming all next week," Montag wrote Thursday.
We know -- we can't believe it either, but, hopefully, Montag's movie debut will go over a lot better than her foray into music. Her debut album, Superficial, totally bombed, selling less than 1000 copies in its first week back in January.

For decades, diagnostic radiology imaging has been an invaluable tool in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. It is generally accepted that the benefits of radiology procedures outweigh the risks associated with the patient's exposure to the ionizing radiation used in a number of imaging modalities. However, over the last few years, concern has emerged over the increased utilization of Computed Tomography (CT) in the pediatric patient as this age group is particularly sensitive to the effects of radiation....

So has anybody heard of these. I found it pretty interesting. As long as you register the adapter and pay the 200 dollar tax stamp through the ATF its legal and a heck of a lot cheaper than a real one. It just looks retarded. They have videos of them on YouTube. I haven't figured out how to post a link on my phone so if someone could I would appreciate it.

I have a mechanic shop in Alabama so I guess I'm sitting on around 500 different sized silencers. Now all I got to do is get me one of them adapters and I can try it out. Even though I could just make my own adapter I think I'll pass on jail time and do it legal though. Wouldn't want to get the loud knock on the door.
Yeah I don't think this is any kind of specops certified gear, but just ****s and giggles. It's kinda neat.
Better check with you local and state ordnance first . Just because you can pay, register and wait 6 months for approval doesnt mean you can own it . Here in IL we cannot legally own a suppressor sad sad day

RIP: Man With 132 Pound Scrotum Dead at 49.
(BlackMediaScoop) Wesley Warren Jr., best known as the man with the 132-pound scrotum, died Friday, March 14 in Las Vegas due to health complications. He was 49.
The Las Vegas resident died at the University Medical Center after being hospitalized for the last five-and-a-half weeks, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which first reported the news of Warren's death. The exact cause of Warren's death was not disclosed, although his roommate believed it was unrelated to his scrotum.
"He had infections that I think were brought on by his diabetes and then he had those heart attacks," Warren's roommate and pal Joey Hurtado said. Warren underwent surgery last April to remove his swollen scrotum, induced by a painful condition known as scrotal lymphedema. At the time of the procedure, Warren weighed 500 pounds.
The star of TLC's The Man With the 132-Lb Scrotum said in August 2013 that his "personal hell" began in May 2008, after a household mishap that resulted in a blow to a testicle. "Even when I got offers to help, it was hard," he said of his daily struggle. "My scrotum was so large I couldn't get on a plane. I was too big to use an airplane restroom."

Digital frames can store hundreds of nail art photos, run a clear, continual slideshow of your work, and some can even organize pictures into themed albums and show video clips.
Is your polish-smudged nail art photo album showing signs of wear? (It probably didn't help that you spilled coffee on it last week.) Do some Spring cleaning by replacing your old-school album with a tech-savvy digital picture frame.
"This way, during their services, my clients can watch the display and see the nail art options available," says Lucia Etchamendy, owner of Lucia's Hair and Nail Salon in Hesperia, Calif., who bought a digital frame in December.
In addition to having a sleek appearance, the frames, which cost between $100 and $300, have other benefits too. They can store upwards of hundreds of nail art photos, run a clear, continual slideshow of your work, and some can even organize pictures into themed albums, show video clips, or incorporate energy-saving motion detectors. Just keep the hot beverages away from it.

|•The Dance Diet
•••••Lose weight while maintaining the energy you need for dance class.
|A couple of years ago, when I originally wrote this article, my main concern was to lose about ten pounds while having enough energy to attend 2-3 dance classes a day plus rehearsals. So, I came up with Plan A.
Time passed, and I sustained a knee injury. Suddenly, I couldn't take class every day, and didn't have rehearsal three times a week. So now I had a different set of circumstances, and still wanted to keep my fighting weight so I'd be in pretty good shape when I could dance again. If you're in that boat, see Plan B.
What's the difference between the two plans? In a word: carbohydrates. In Plan A, I give myself plenty of carbs in order to recover from a heavy load of physical activity, and I keep the protein pretty low, since too much protein really made me feel sluggish in class. Plan B is scaled back for minimal activity, e.g. physical therapy/weight-training with a little water aerobics thrown in, or just a few dance classes a week while you're getting back to speed. I took a page from the popular low-carb diets and found that for me the pounds literally fell off as soon as I cut out bread, potatoes, and other starches.
My advice in a nutshell is to take a look at what I've done, and think about your own needs. It took me a long time and a lot of reading and experimenting over the years to find what really worked for me. You may want to try my methods, or use them as a springboard to come up with what works best for you. The great thing is that once you find what is the key to your own metabolism, you learn so much about yourself. And you have this knowledge for life. You learn what is a good and reachable weight goal for yourself, and what size you can maintain and be happy, feeling good.
Plan A
Before I became a dance maniac, I'd used a number of different diets to lose the ten pounds that always seem to creep up on me. Most involved calorie or "points" counting, and I also had a go-round with food combining. There was usually a punitive aspect, whether that manifested itself in daily or weekly weigh-ins or in simply the guilt-ridden feeling that I had not stuck perfectly to the plan. It always felt as if something were being imposed on me from the outside in -- which it was!
When I started to dance seriously and wanted to get into better shape, I remember reading something called The Dancers' Body Book, which claimed to tell us what famous ballet dancers did to keep their much-lower-than-average weights. What I learned instead, is that dancers themselves don't seem to have much of a clue when it comes to nutrition. So, I began to look elsewhere for guidance. And I also wanted to come up with a plan that I fully understood, so I wouldn't have to feel guilty about minor infractions. I believed that really understanding what a diet was trying to do and how it worked would make me a "partner" with the diet, rather than feeling that the diet was the authority figure and that I was the errant child.
After a great deal of reading, and using myself as a guinea pig, I have come to what I feel is my solution to the diet thing. I took a basic diet for long-distance runners, and started to tailor it to my own needs. Like runners, we too want lean muscles and a high level of endurance.
I started out with a ratio of 60% carbohydrates, 15% protein, and 25% fat -- and I felt as if I was going to explode from all the carbs (even though I'm an inveterate bread-lover). The long-distance runner probably needs much more carbohydrates than we dancers do, since our highest level of exertion is usually in short spurts. So I started to dicker with these percentages until I found the level where I felt best. For me, that turned out to be 55% carbs, 20% protein, and 25% fat. I could probably cut the carbohydrates even a little bit more, and increase the protein a little. But, after you strictly watch your diet for a couple of months, you'll simply feel when you're eating the proper quantities, and you can put your calorie counters away.
Everyone who reads this probably knows approximately how many calories/grams he or she can have on a weight loss diet. If not, pick up any basic diet book, or subscribe to my newsletter ;-) , where I give you formulas to find your personal calorie limit based on your desired weight and level of activity, as well as how to turn calories into grams of carbohydrates, protein, and fat. I also give you best times of day to eat your carbs and protein to maximize your performance in class and your recovery time after class.
The 55:20:25 diet can be based on percentages of calories or on grams (which makes it easier to figure out what percentages you're eating based on the nutritional labels you'll find on all prepared foods).
I gave myself a very modest calorie deficit, so I'd lose no more than a pound each week. This way, I was able to change my eating patterns through slow weight loss, and keep my energy level high enough that I could keep going with my 10+ classes a week. So ten weeks, and my ten extra pounds were gone -- plus I had trained myself to know what to eat, when to eat it, and I could feel very acutely when I was far off track with what I was eating.
I want to point out that dieting this way is not an extreme, difficult regimen. You're not limiting yourself to bare bones dieting. You get enough food, and with your paperback gram counter in hand, you're in control of which foods you eat. If you find that eating only 20% protein leaves you feeling weak, then try changing your ratios. I found that when I was eating less than 25% fat, I was cranky and worn out -- I felt dried out and lifeless. 60% carbohydrates was too much starch for me (no matter how many vegetables I ate to reduce the amount of bread and pasta). More than 20% protein, and I felt too heavy and bogged down for ballet.
Try it out and you'll see. When counting grams of carbs, protein, and fat, you'll become much more aware of what you're putting into your body, and how it affects you. Then you can carry that knowledge and awareness with you for life!
Plan B
I was sitting in front of the TV watching Oprah, when she had two weight-loss doctors on who were talking about carbohydrate addiction. They were talking about a diet for people who, once they started eating potatoes or cereal or breads or sugary desserts, just kept feeling hungrier and hungrier and didn't feel satisfied after eating these foods. Instead, they wanted to keep eating more and more.
Wow. This got my attention. This really sounded like me. I'd choose a huge bowl of macaroni and cheese over even my favorite protein foods or fruits and vegetables any day. And desserts, or a big loaf of garlic bread -- well, I'm simply not to be trusted.
In short, the program these doctors advocated was one in which you ate protein (meat, eggs, cheese, fish, poultry) and vegetables in equal amounts, with starches or dessert items only at one meal of the day, and only as one third of the total volume of the meal (to be eaten at the same time as the rest of the meal, not hours later).
I headed out to the bookstore, looking for a low-carbohydrate diet book. There were many, so I picked the cheapest paperback, which was the Dr. Atkins diet. This turns out to be the most extreme of the many low-carb diet versions out there. But I wanted to see results fast, so extreme was fine with me. Without going into the details (take a trip to your bookstore), you start out with protein and fat, plus a couple of handfuls of vegetables a day.
The good news is that you can have all the protein and fat you want, and you can get some variety by choosing among meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk, bacon, sausage, cheese -- butter on your broccoli -- and you can eat as much of these foods as you want. The bad news is that it's a little challenging to eat out: throwing away the bun on your hamburger, avoiding the hash browns with your breakfast, or pushing away that side-dish of spaghetti.
However, this is the most miraculous diet I've ever been on. The pounds just fell off, and there were many other positive changes as well. No bloated feeling. My hair, nails, and skin looked glossier and better. I slept much better and felt much calmer than usual. And my energy level was way up -- no mood swings. The downside: Okay, I'll just say it, ((constipation)). But this improved as I started to moderate the diet, adding more vegetables, some fruit, and even some starches once I got the weight under control.
I learned that starches and desserts (basically, sugar, since all starches are sugar) are the trigger that causes me to gain weight. When I avoid them, or eat them only in moderation, I don't generally have a weight problem. All these years, I've been fighting those same 10-15 pounds that creep up on me. Through my low-carb diet experience, I now know why. There's really never a reason to fill up on breads and pastas unless your level of activity is very high and you need the fuel.
Now that I have my two plans in place -- one for high activity, and one for moderate activity -- I feel I've got my bases covered, and feel at peace knowing how to eat and what's going on with my body. And, if I'm suddenly gaining weight, I know the reason. There's no reason to agonize over it. It's just time to cut back on the carbs and snack on some protein instead.

March to Get Screened Founder - Jan Pratt
Getting screened saved my life. I was a non-smoking, normal weight 35 year old mom of 2 preschoolers when I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer (tumor size of 2 ping pong balls in my lower colon) proving that it is not just an old man thing. I went into my primary doctor's office with a head cold that would not go away and mentioned that I was having digestion issues and that my father had died from colon cancer at age 53 and I wanted to get a colonoscopy. Best medical decision I ever made. I had surgery, radiation, and chemo and believed I was cancer free for two years, but it reoccurred in my lung. I had surgery and chemo for another 9 months. I wish I had had a colonoscopy sooner so I would have just had polyps that could have been removed during the procedure instead of it advancing to colon cancer. Get screened, it may save your life like it did mine!

I am basically trying to figure out if I can swap one wheelset between two bikes. The wheels and bike #1 would have 203/185mm avid elixir brakes & rotors. The second bike would have formula brakes on with 200/180mm adapters.
I was thinking I could use chainring spacers (or similar) between the formula calipers and adapters, to create the extra 3-5mm clearance needed for the larger avid rotors.
Not ideal, but would it work?

Solving the "Not Provided" Conundrum: What A Recent Google Change Means for Your StatsPosted by Lisa King under Web Analytics
If you've been keeping an eagle eye on your web stats, you've likely seen an uptick in the organic searches that are tallied under the cryptic little label called "Not Provided" (as in, the search term visitors used to get to your site is not provided).
So what gives?
Well, back in October, Google announced that there would be some changes to how keywords data would be presented in Google Analytics. If a user is signed into a Google product (such as GMail), and they perform a search, they do so on the secure version of (https://www.google.com/) Google by default. Any of the searches performed on that secure version are still recorded in Google Analytics as organic visits, but the search terms the user types into the Google search bar are—you guessed it—not provided.
So instead of seeing a breakout of individual search terms used by people logged into their Google accounts, you'll see all of these visits aggregated under the single label of: "Not Provided."
What it Means for Your Stats
Although Google initially estimated that this change would affect only 2 – 3% of organic search traffic, we're seeing evidence that it's having a bigger impact--closer to 15%, in fact. (We've even seen estimates as high as 50%).
It's not really surprising, considering that people are more and more prone to stay logged in to GMail, GChat or other Google products throughout the day, entering search terms along the way.
In this example from the November stats of a client site, "Not Provided" searches account for 10.74% of the site's total traffic, and 14.57% of their organic search traffic.
What You Can Do
You know how we harp on about keeping a good history of your analytics? This is a perfect example of how that can pay off. If you can see past trends and compare them to your current stats, you'll probably be able to sniff out a solution to the Not Provided problem.
In the example above, we first reviewed the number of visits referred by branded keywords (those keywords containing the name of the business). We quickly noticed that three of those search terms had dropped precipitously from previous months.
Applying our trusty math skills, we deduced that the three keywords previously responsible for referring the most traffic to the site had dropped by the same amount now attributed to "Not Provided."
To double check our conclusion, we delved a little deeper, looking at the stats for the keyword used, as well as the page where the visitors arrived on the site, aka the landing page (which you can see highlighted in the above screenshot).
Those same missing keywords had been referring visits to the same landing pages. So we can make an educated guess that the "Not Provided" metric is referring to those lost visits – at least for this month.
Obviously this is something we'll continue to monitor, using additional information and the history we have with this client to fill in this hole in the data.
Bottom Line: Don't Panic
The most important thing to keep in mind is that you're still getting the visits – you're just not getting the best information about the keywords visitors used to get there. It doesn't change anything else about your site – you should still be writing good content, creating relevant title tags, tracking your conversions, etc.
It only means that it takes a little more detective work to understand what terms your visitors are using to find you.

Thule Sidearm Universal Bike Mount
Leaves a lot to be desired.
Have had two of these racks on my car for four years. It's not easy to place and remove bikes in rack on top of SUV, especially our mountain bikes. After a year on top of car the arm becomes very difficult to move and position properly. Have traveled a lot and have had no problems with secure fit in either road or mountain bikes. Still looking for low maintence, long lasting , easy on-off roof racks. Placement of these racks on car is not an easy task, and once there you do not want to mess around to remove them.

The American entrepreneurial economy distinctly differs from that of socialistic European economies. American organizations must be able to make decisions based on proximity to performance, the market, technology, society, environment, and demographics. In Europe, on the other hand, distance from the market of centralized systems makes innovation and responsiveness difficult.
R. Reece, Innovation-Driven Health Care: 34 Key Concepts for Transformation, Jones and Bartlett, 2007
Q: What is your position?
A: I am CEO of Alliance Underwriters. It has two subsidiaries. One is called Medwatch. The other is called WeCareTLC. Alliance Underwriters is a managing general underwriter for stop-lost insurance for self-funded employers on their health insurance. We have been in business for over 20 years. Medwatch is a utilization management company doing case management and disease management. It has been in business over 20 years. WeCareTLC is an on-site employer clinical management company, and it has been in business about three years. In these three companies, we have a total of about 100 employees, and our fee revenues are about $8 million. We are located in Orlando, Florida.
Thoughts on Health Reform
Q: I am interested in your thoughts on health reform. Personally, I believe health reform is more likely to market-driven rather than policy-driven. Do you agree with my view?
A: Yes. For the most part, I don't think there is legislative or regulatory solution. These solutions tend to create more problems than they solve. There are a lot of tough questions you have to ask when you start talking about the uninsured,. What do you do with someone who has the wherewithal to be insured and chooses not to?
The bigger issue is: What do you do with those who want to be insured, but who have health issues that cause them to be uninsured? Some states have high risk pools that address that issue. Perhaps there ought to be a federal high risk pool. A significant number of the uninsured are uninsured by choice, and a significant number are uninsured for only a short period of time. There are probably between 5 and 10 million people who have a significant need for health insurance and can't get it because of their medical conditions.
WeCareTLC, Inc
Q: Your company, WeCareTLC, interests me. I assume TLC stands for Tender Loving Care. Does it not?
A; Yes, but it also stands for Total Livestyle Counseling.
Q: Give us your thoughts about how that company came to be, and what your thoughts were behind it.
A: Obviously, being in the employer-based health insurance business, and looking at the rising costs and various solutions, I started following the various outside clinic programs about 6 or 7 years ago, but I didn't think they were being as aggressive as they could be. So we opened on onsite clinic for our own employees about 3 ½ years ago. We ran that for about a year, then built the model that we use today for other employers.
Worksite clinics are one of the few things that has arisen in the last 20 or 30 years that stand of a chance of materially reducing the cost of health care.
Removing Cost Barriers
Q: Why is that?
A: Because you address the employees need for medical care by removing all the barriers for getting that care. First of all, the clinics are free so there is no financial reason not to get care. Two, they are convenient, being at the worksite. Three, they are focused on getting the employees the care they need, the tests they need, the medications they need, the life style changes they need to make to reduce downstream costs.
Q;. Perhaps at this point, you ought to describe the model.
The Worksite Model
A: Well, we put a physician-based clinic on site or near on sight. The model is very scaleable. It can be as small as several hundred employees to no limit. Most of our competitors focus on the Fortune 500 companies, but we think there is a significant opportunity in the smaller employee market.; The hours are scleable, based on size. They can be open as few as 4 hours to as much as 40 hours.
The clinics have a full electronic medical record. We have internet-based scheduling for those interested in using it. Those who use the clinic can go online to see their clinical records and lab values and medication summaries, and they can print it out and take the summaries with them.
One thing we do differently is that we work diligently to manage the referral process. Our primary doctor interacts with the specialist to coordinate care and to bring patients out of the specialist market back into the primary care market.
The other thing we do differently is to provide disease management, or lifestyle counseling. Nearly all of it is done by others telephonically. We staff a nurse in the clinic to do field-based face-to-face counseling . The data shows only face-to-face counseling has any chance of success. We have a three pronged approach: the physician, the nurse, and the patient working together to get the maximum impact.
Q: The government is slow in picking this up. A recent JAMA article indicates that all 15 Medicare demonstration projects using a remote nurse communicating by telephone failed to save money and 13 of 15 failed to reduce hospitalizations. Nurses , working telephonically, without close proximity to the doctor, had little effect. ("Effects of Care Coordination on Hospitalizations, Quality of Care, and Health Care Expenditures," JAMA, February 11, 2009).
A: Doesn't surprise me.
Q: My concept of the worksite clinic, working in near proximity to employees has these key elements. The worksite clinic, in a large enough setting to make it work, is run by a salaried primary care physician; dispenses free generic drugs or brand drugs if necessary; has an embedded electronic medical record containing best practice information; offers preventive and lifestyle counseling by an onsite nurse; and refers to a pre-selected network of specialists based on their performance and value.
A; That's essentially correct, but we don't always have the data on the specialists, so we simply try to avoid the worst, which can save you 10%.
Money Savings
Q; In your little experiment in your company, how much money did you save?
A: Roughly 50% of what the actuaries would have predicted. For most businesses, savings are in the 20% to 40% range.
Q; How many worksite clinics do you currently manage?
A: We have a dozen clinics right now.
The Mix of Worksite Clinics
Q: What is nature of organizations using these clinics. What is the mix?
A: School boards, manufacturing, unions, country governments, city governments.
Q. That's a real power of this concept. You can apply it to almost any organizations with a sufficient number of employees.
A; Yes, assuming they have enough employees in the vicinity, assuming they have health insurance, and assuming they want to save money. It is one of best things an institution can do. And the participants, the employees, really appreciate it. It's voluntary. When it's free and it's convenient, the vast majority will use it.
Worksite Clinics and Dependents
Q: How does this apply to the dependents of these employees?
A: We definitely want to make the worksite clinic available to them. You can do it in a number of different ways. One way is just to fluctuate your hours, with some evening hours and weekend hours. Most of these clinics do not treat the pediatric, well-child portion. Generally speaking, we think pediatrics should be done by a pediatrician, unless there'ssome urgent problem,
The Power of Business to Cut Health Costs
Q: It is my belief business can move more decisively than government to control costs. After all, business survival and employee jobs are at stake. One of great potentials of worksite clinics in the large number of corporate sites available. I have read that there are more than 7600 sites in America with over 1000 employees, and that half of the Fortune companies will have sites working by the end of 2010.
A: I'm not sure of the numbers, but 1000 employees on site is definitely enough to support a full-time clinic working 40 hours a week. With fewer employees, you have to scale it back to fewer hours. One of the things we are doing is developing a coalition or collaborative clinics with multiple employers sharing the same clinic. The more bodies you can get into the clinic, the more hours you can be open.
Q; One word that keeps coming up is "scalable."
A; By that we mean worksite clinics work nearly as well for businesses with 200 lives as on 1000 lives.
Desperation for Change
Q; In the businesses to whom you talk, do you sense desperation for change?
A: Yes. If costs double one more time, the whole system will collapse. The biggest challenge in Corporate America is convincing the CEO and CFO that cost of health care is really something that they can do something about. Too many have a fatalistic attitude that it is what it is, and there's nothing I can do about it. That's the biggest hurdle to overcome.
HSAs, High Deductibles, and Worksite Clinics
Q; Do you sense a movement towards health savings accounts and high deductible plans among your constituency?
A: I think they are moving that way. We have one among our own employees. And among our clients, about one third have them. They are not the total answer, but they are part of the solution. Having a clinic serving a high deductible plan undoubtedly makes the high deductible plan more palatable. When we put our clinic in, we went from a $300 deductible to a $2000 deductible.
Q: So it brings employees who are skeptical about high deductibles coupled with HSAs across the line?
High Costs, Lack of Transparency, Not Access, is the Big Issue
A: Yes, but the biggest problem in the health care environment that is talking about is the access issue, but the real barrier is the cost. And the cost factor, in my opinion, will never be solved until there is full transparency. If the providers had to post their prices, and you could shop based on price, now you have enough information to make a quality decision. When you don't have the price, you don't have the ability to make that decision.
Q: So the worksite clinic helps clarify transparency?
A; No, it doesn't but we try to get the employer in the best specialist at the best price. But getting doctors to tell you what it is going to cost ahead of time is still a challenge. But there's no competition when you don't have price transparency. When I go to my local hospital about an employee who needs a hip transplant, I may go to a local hospital and finds it costs $10,000. But if I had an Internet comparative pricing site, I might find someone is Kansas City does it for $7500, or in Thailand or Costa Rico for $2200. Now I can start looking for their outcomes and results in making a value decision. Based on anecdotal evidence, when doctors are faced with the decision to compete on price, they do. If the costs started to dop significantly, a lot of the other issues would start to go away.
Small Businesses and Worksite Clinics
Q: Do think small businesses are going to coalesce to access worksite clinics?
A: Yes, I think they will, but there are challenges. If you're a large employer you can be self-insured which saves the employer money. Small businesses can't self-fund.
Doing Business with Brokers
Q; You're in the health underwriting and reinsurance business, do you give presentations to employers about introducing wrok site clinics or deciding between health plans?
A; I do some of that, but generally we work through third parties about bring the message to their clients. It's always a challenge whether the broker is a commissioned broker working for an insurance company. He is somewhat conflicted about finding ways to reduce the costs. If the costs go down, his commission goes down. I always tell the employer if you don't pay your broker directly with a check, then he really doesn't work for you.
Q; With regard to the future and the current state of health reform, are you a glass half full or a glass half empty man?
Corporate America Can Fix It – If Prices are Posted
A; If the regulatory and legislative environment will leave health care alone, corporate America will fix it out of desperation. If the government passed a law saying you've got to post your prices and charge everybody the same amount of money, that is one piece of legislation that would have the biggest impact. Price controls have never worked in any environment, and I don't think they will work in health care.
If you had a totally free market environment with everybody posting their prices, that would work. If Florida, if you want your car fixed, they have to tell you exactly what it will cost. But in health care, they can charge you six figures, and you never have a clue. I like to use the example of the salesman. You tell him to go out and get a car, and he comes back with a Mercedes. If you tell him, here's $400, go out and get a car, I can guarantee you he won't come back with a Mercedes. If you don't have cost, there is no opportunity to make a value judgment.
The Effect of Walgreens Entering the Worksite Market
Q: With Walgreens entering the worksite clinic marketplace and saying they plan to set up 500 clinics, has that changed the market for you?
A: It has given worksite clinics more visibility which is good. The more companies offering these clinics, the more diversification you get within the clinics. It makes it easier for everyone of us. If you go into an area, and nobody has ever heard of the concept, the first sale is pretty tough. But if they've heard of it and know somebody who has done it, you've overcome the hurdle of What is it? You have the opportunity of saying, here's where my product differs.
Q: What are your growth projections for WeCareTLC?
A: In the next two or three years, we could blow it out pretty significantly and cover may be 50,000 lives Being an intra\epreneur, I'm not sure I want to direct a multibillion dollar corporation, but I wouldn't mind building it and selling it to someone who does.

Traditional media as we know it will no longer exist in 10 years, according to 55 percent of respondents to a survey by 24/7 Wall St. and Harris Interactive, which also found that while 67 percent of the 2,095 U.S. adults surveyed prefer getting their news in traditional ways (network television, newspapers, magazines), 50 percent get almost all of their news online.
Local TV news was the source cited by 46 percent of respondents when asked where they turn when looking for news, with local newspapers drawing 35 percent, and network TV news 31 percent, but 42 percent said they never choose national newspapers or weekly news magazines.
The poll also found that time spent reading print media is down, while time spent online is rising, with 25 percent of respondents saying they have spent less time over the past year reading newspapers and 23 percent saying the same about magazines, while 28 percent are spending more time on online news sites.
Age was also a factor in the results from 24/7 Wall St. and Harris Interactive, as 33 percent of respondents aged 55 and older get almost all their news online, compared with 65 percent of those 18-34. Similarly, 81 percent of the older group prefers getting their news in more traditional ways, while that number drops to 57 percent for the younger demographic.
When comparing the most likely news sources of respondents 55 and older versus those of 18- to 34-year-olds, the numbers were: 88 percent versus 63 percent, respectively, for local TV news; 81 percent versus 56 percent for local newspapers; and 39 percent versus 55 percent for news-aggregation Web sites.
