Patients remain ill-informed about changes to medical records
Last week we wrote about the leaflet that every household will be receiving from NHS England detailing serious changes to the way our medical records are shared. We warned that such a lacklustre scheme to inform the public is arguably illegal under data protection law and goes against the Government's commitment to give patients control over their medical records.
Today, the British Heart Foundation, Arthritis Research UK, Cancer Research UK, Diabetes UK, the Academy of Medical Sciences, the Medical Research Council and the Wellcome Trust have launched an advertising campaign encouraging people not to opt out of the initiative.
Quite simply, patients should not be forced, or feel pressured, to take part in a scheme that involved sharing details contained in their medical records. Especially at a time when NHS England has failed to properly inform patients about how medical records will be shared and which organisations will be able to see them.
The research charities are urging patients not to opt out of the NHS data sharing scheme. Despite the fact that they have admitted that they "cannot guarantee that the data will be 100% safe" they stressed that it was of "fundamental importance" for people to allow their records to be included in the scheme.
Of course, many patients will see the benefit of using medical data for research purposes, however others will feel uncomfortable with sensitive information potentially being shared with third parties outside of the NHS. This is a decision for individual patients to make. It is in the interest of these research charities that as many people remain in the scheme as possible, however they have a responsibility to ensure that NHS England has properly notified patients about the changes to their medical records so that they can make an informed decision about whether to participate in the scheme.
Academics and GP's alike have also raised their personal concerns about the scheme. The Daily Mail has reported that at least two GPs are so opposed to the scheme they have removed the thousands of patients on their books from the scheme unless they have specifically asked to be included. One of the doctors, who is based in Oxford, has said that he believed the scheme breached data protection laws.
The fact remains that if NHS England wants to share patients' information with increasing amounts of third parties they have a duty to take extra steps to ensure that patients feel as though they have control. The Department for Health must stand by the Governments commitment to give patients more control over their medical records and recognise that this leaflet drop is wholly unacceptable.

If insurance companies could be forced to get signed permission from individuals to have a look at their records, I'm happy for the rest. The insurance industry likes to exclude everything they might conceivably have to pay out on.
Who else might have something to gain about anonymised statistical information from health authorities?
Anyone other than an authorised medical professional on a need to know basis should be prevented from accessing any identifiable information without the signed permission of the person involved. Research on conditions for the purposes of benefiting sufferers shouldn't really be hampered by rules preventing self interested parties from using it.
The drug companies don't want any raw data to be seen if it doesn't confirm their line of research, and never submit any to the licensing authorities. I can't see that changing.

Interesting point about Pharma's selective use of data. I have experienced this first hand when I was told, very politely, over an excellent dinner on an all expenses paid trip to a head office, that my reseach would not be used "as it did not fit in with other researchers results."
That is scientifically reprehensible. It is perfectly justifiable to eliminate published >>2SD* outliers from a final conclusion, but to not include a complete study at all because the results "don't fit the bill" is arguably fraudulent. But …. here's my thought. If the government made it a stipluation that all data supplied via the NHS patient records MUST be included – no exceptions – in all published papers and clinical studies, perhaps that would make you and me somewhat happier about the whole process.
*Significantly more than 2 standard deviations. A quick google will reveal more if this means little or nothing
Mike Sugar13th January 2014
In the first BBW posting on this topic I recall reading that (a) physical attendance at surgery was required to opt-out of this round of mass storage of data, and (b) previous requests to GPs to have personal records excluded will be null and void.
Since I have not, at the time of writing, received the leaflet such assertions can only be taken as hearsay, but I am inclined to accept that they are true.
Rather than take a mandatory hike to our local GPs to opt out, is it not possible (perhaps via a voluntary fighting fund) to get a barrister to prepare a boilerplate letter we can all use? This would need to explain the legal basis why such a letter carries more weight in law than government demands that we "get on our bikes" in order to opt out – in my case, again.
Maybe the largely awful Human Rights Act might come to our rescue.
Woodsy4213th January 2014
I got my leaflet today. I read it carefully but can't find anywhere any info about who they want to share with.
In fact it's worse, because they mention GP and hopital records a brief look at the leaflet suggests that they want toshare between GPs and hospitals – perfectly reasonable and I assume they do that anyhow.
Can they be made to redistribute, this time saying who might recieve the data?
Anon14th January 2014
The biggest problem here is that the NHS England and those who are putting this into force are NOT sufficiently highlighting the fact that it is NOT all anonymised data. They want to use identifiable data too. I do not want any of my data shared or used without my explicit consent. Others feel differently and that is fine but why should I need to run around like an idiot trying to stop up all the gaps in the security of my personal and medical data because the government is hell bent on sharing it with every Tom, Dick and Harry for any purpose.
Too many working with personal and sensitive data do not protect such data and the medical profession is just as bad as everyone else. This government is trying to give away all our rights to privacy and security and it just ain't on.
Cherry Gurney18th January 2014
I agree with Mike Sugar. It now seems that those of us who years ago, registered our lack of consent for our info to be shared, now have to do it all over again, in conflict to earlier assurances. Who at the practice do we hold legally responsible for any breach – the Practice Manager, G.P's? How do we word our letters in a watertight legal form, that provides no loopholes? If we see one doctor at the practice about this, what is to stop any of the other doctors leaking our information. I'm prepared to contribute to the costs of an appropriate barrister.
Jane18th March 2015
Those of us who are female have already had our personal medical information leave the GP surgery decades ago, when the call and recall system for cervical screening was set up in 1988. Details of ALL women registered with a GP in the UK were sent out of the confines of surgeries to be put onto the Exeter database. Because of cervical cancer being a sexually transmitted disease, the information is deeply sensitive, and doesn't just contain information about whether the smear was positive or not, but also results in all other types of sexual infection and abnomalities being noted. It also notes which women have had a hysterectomy or not, as this would put her out of the programme. No woman was exempt, and incentive payments to GP's meant that most of us were targeted mercilessly at every appointment.
After objecting for years, I was telephoned out of the blue one afternoon by a woman claiming to be from the programme, demanding to know why I was refusing to attend cervical screening. I politely explained that I was against this nationally enforced STD test squared purely at women. She asked me how I could be sure I hadn't contracted the disease, and this meant I had to explain that I had done my research and decided I was at very low risk of the disease. Of course, being an STD the next question was that my husband may be having other partners, which could pass the disease onto me. All of this to a complete stranger on the phone. Was I in the former East Germany being put under surveillance by the Stasi? No! This was in England in the 21st century. Although this happened in 2003, I know of other women who have reported being telephoned by the cervical screening service much more recently.
And the life time prevalence of this disease? 0.6%. Cost of running this programme? £175,000,000.

I would like to put powergrips on my sl2-x pedals, or, I guess put some clipless SPDs on, but can't see how to do this easily or cheaply - anyone any pertinent experience ?
I would like to put powergrips on my sl2-x pedals, or, I guess put some clipless SPDs on, but can't see how to do this easily or cheaply - anyone any pertinent experience ?
it aint the size of your wheels, its the rhythm of you cadence. And I got powergrips too.
There's always someone out there who's done it:
I was looking at that a while back when I was considering that option.
I noted that the Brompton pedals are made by Wellgo; so I got a pair of Wellgo dual sided clipless pedals that match the originals in looks, and just installed the right hand one. The left side is still the folding pedal; I have found that having just one clipless actually works much better than expected.
This is similar although mine has a natural frame, not black.
My folding bike photo essays www.dekter.net/
Their left one is their Own , need a 24mm socket to remove..
There are pictures on the Web of fitting Power grips on them.
Personally I have no motivation.
of course the thread in the arms is 9/16 standard,.
so fitting one of the pop off pedals let you switch EZ.

I have powergrips on another bike (my TSR2) and I have to say I love them.
However I have never felt the urge or need to fit them to my Brompton. I think its because I commute across town on it and don't really ever get to a point where I want to really put in the power to speed up that much.
hi all thanks for this. I do love my brompton, and take your points. At the moment, though, with 2 gears only, it restricts my cycling to the relatively flat locale. I don't want to add more gears, for cost and weight reasons, and just thought grips or clipless would give me a bit more oomph over hills and longer distances. Seen the grips on the web now, thanks. Not keen on drilling the existing pedals though. Guess will have to live with it.
it aint the size of your wheels, its the rhythm of you cadence. And I got powergrips too.
You can upgrade the crankset to a compact double, square taper.
and, while riding, kick the chain onto the inside cog with your heel.
Pull a rag out of your pocket to keep your hands cleaner,
to put the chain back on the big Chain Ring.
that won't be too costly.. no FD or adapter required..
Speedplay Frog, so I put a pair on my Brompton. The nice thing about the Frogs on the Brompton is that they are relatively small, and there are no sharp bits, so it's not really a big deal that the left pedal sticks out when folded. And if need be, it's easy enough to spin the pedal off with a 15 mm wrench and thread it into the inside of the crank to make the folded package smaller or fit the Brompton into a bag. If you find a similarly small, non-sharp and easily removed clipless that's to your liking, try that.
Been thinking about this too. These folks (http://pathlesspedaled.com/2011/03/touring-bromptons/ - scroll to bottom) put MKS Lambda grip kings on their Bromptons - 1 normal, 1 quick release.
And the place that did it for them (http://clevercycles.com/blog/product...ur-brompton-2/ - scroll midway down) offers Lambdas and other pedals as upgrades to the Bromptons they sell.
And these (http://www.evanscycles.com/products/...7#BVRRWidgetID) seem to get good marks as a compromise between full clips and nothing.
Gus , follow the Clever cycles link, above , one of the Co-Owners did a 36/44t double
on theirs for the pacific coast tour he blogs about .
thanks guys. I have been thinking about the half-clip route (thanks Pat McC) for the non-folding pedal....
it aint the size of your wheels, its the rhythm of you cadence. And I got powergrips too.

Excellent product, great price
By Mark

I bought two of these and a generator during a four-day power outage this summer. No issues getting plenty of power into the house, and everything stays plugged in just fine (actually, sometimes it's difficult to plug into one of the outlets, so maybe there is some variance there.) In all, I'd buy more if I needed to.

great product
By Brian C

I have had this cord for over a year now and I work it hard. It gets used in and out of the shop for whatever I need. In the winter I use it to plug in the diesel tractor as well as in the summer take it with us when we take the 5th wheel camping and I have not had a single issue at all. I am actually going to buy a second one.

Seriously annoying
By Sal
from Columbus Ohio
They must have made this with a built in spring because no matter how much I try to unravel/untwist this extension cord, it spins and winds up after ever use. You can NOT pull this extension cord from one end and expect it to unravel. It looks like I braided this thing ! The yellow stripe is perfect to show you how insanely spun this thing gets. I have to untangle every 5 feet of the cord as I walk the entire 50 feet away from the opposite end and then stand there pulling it taught while I twist it in the opposite direction for at least 20 revolutions!DO NOT BUY ...unless you want to waste 10 minutes of your time, every time you want to use it.
Not worth it

None of my stuff stays plugged into the triple tap. Even when it looks like it is plugged in, it doesn't work. I have to keep changing outlet to get my stuff to work.

Keep an eye out for these cultivars:
'John Smith'
In addition to the lauded 'Yellow Sweetie', Gardenimport also carries a new cultivar called 'John Smith' (2006), named for one of the breeders now working with the fourth generation of Langdons. It represents yet another begonia breakthrough, being the first upright (rather than pendulous) fragrant begonia cultivar in commerce. These tubers are pricey to begin with, and there are other costs associated with shipping and phytosanitary certification, so Dugald Cameron also offers a less-expensive selection of unnamed fragrant Blackmore & Langdon begonia tubers, all of them lovely in their own right.
'Yellow Sweetie'
In the late 1970s at Golden State Bulb Growers, begonia breeder Howard Siebold began a scented tuberous begonia breeding program using Blackmore & Langdon's fragrant 'Yellow Sweetie' as the female parent in all his crosses, and eventually producing four named cultivars in the early 1980s, 'Golden Anniversary' (1984) being the most widely known. Having passed the begonia torch on to hybridizer Andrew Snow in the interim, in 1991 'Golden Anniversary' produced a fragrant yellow-flowered mutation, and the Scentiment Series was born.
Pinks and peaches
Two fragrant cultivars of hybridizer Andrew Snow's Scentiment Series ('Scentiment Yellow' and 'Scentiment Blush') were released in 1993, and after further breeding using unnamed proprietary seedlings, Snow introduced a further four cultivars in 2002 with improved vigour and flower production. Fast-forward a decade, and Golden State Bulb Growers now grows just three varieties—but they're fantastic: Pink Blush (B. '77KK Blush Pink' [T]), Just Peachy (B. '77WL Peach' [T]) and Sunrise (B. '77KL Sunrise' [T]).
Germinating begonia seeds
Experienced gardeners might like to try their hand at germinating begonia seeds, which takes some patience and skill, but is the most economical option. Blackmore & Langdon sells perfumed pendulous begonia seeds in mixed colours for £6.50 a packet. Every garden needs a couple of "brag plants" and likewise gardeners need to indulge themselves occasionally; these superb scented begonias, which titillate both the eye and the nose, fit the bill perfectly.

Care and Use of your Stainless Steel Cookwell
« Back
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Before using your stainless steel cookwell, wash it thoroughly in hot soapy water to remove any manufacturing compounds. Washing it by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher usually is the only requirement for keeping it bright and shiny. Prompt drying should prevent it from getting water spots.
Soak and wash in hot soapy water to remove any burned-on foods. Light scouring with a non-abrasive household cleaner or a commercial stainless steel cleaner and a nylon scouring pad should remove any stubborn burns on the interior surfaces. Cooking certain starchy foods (such as: rice, potatoes or peas) may cause a stain on the inside of the pan. High heat may cause a mottled, rainbow-like discoloration commonly called "heat-tint". Both of these should remove easily with any stainless steel cleaner. Consumers should add salt to liquid only after it reaches the boiling point and stir to dissolve completely. Un-dissolved salt will "pit" the steel surface. Do not allow salty or acidic foods to remain in stainless steel for long periods of time.
Stainless steel will not dent, warp or chip with normal use, Stainless Steel thrives on exposure to air, and is also attractive to display in your kitchen.

Samuel H. Kress Collection

Object 5 of 8
Purchased in England by Gustave Dreyfus [1837-1914], Paris;[1] his estate; sold by his heirs 1930 with the entire Dreyfus collection to (Duveen Brothers, Inc., London, New York, and Paris); sold September 1951 to the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, New York;[2] gift 1952 to NGA.
[1] Fern Rusk Shapley, Catalogue of the Italian Paintings, 2 vols., Washington, D.C., 1979: 1:532, follows William Suida, Paintings and Sculptures from the Kress Collection Acquired by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation 1951-56, Washington, D.C., 1956: 200, no. 79, in claiming that the NGA painting was cited in the sale catalogue of the John Watkins Brett collection (Christie, Manson & Woods, London, 5 April 1864, no. 832) as by Leonardo. But the entry in question states that in that work the Virgin held the Child in her arms. Another Madonna (no. 839) in the same collection, also attributed to Leonardo, showed the figures against a landscape background. While either entry might theoretically refer to the NGA painting (no dimensions are given in the sale catalogue), it is unlikely that, before any of Leonardo's early works were rediscovered, his hand would have been recognized in a picture as Verrocchiesque as this one. The two Leonardo Madonnas in the Brett Collection were more probably Leonardesque productions of the type then commonly given to the master.
Suida and Shapley further stated that the picture was in the collection of Charles Timbal in Paris and that it was sold by Timbal's heirs to Gustave Dreyfus in 1872. However, an inventory of the pictures Timbal's heirs sold to Dreyfus, a transcript of which is in NGA curatorial files, does not include a work corresponding to the NGA painting, unless it was then attributed to Lippi or Botticelli. The claim that the picture was sold to Dreyfus as early as 1872 is contradicted, moreover, by Jean Guiffrey's explicit statement, in "La collection de M. Gustave Dreyfus II--La peinture," Les Arts 73 (January 1908): 10, repro., that Dreyfus had only recently acquired it in England.
[2] Duveen Brothers Records, accession number 960015, Getty Research Institute, Research Library, Los Angeles: reel 114, box 259, folder 14; reel 331, box 446, folder 2. The painting is variously attributed to Leonardo da Vinci and Verrocchio in the Duveen files.

Arsenio Hall was born on Feb. 12, 1956 in Cleveland, Ohio. The son of a Baptist minister, Hall often tried to escape his depressed inner-city neighborhood by imagining that he was a talk show host like his idol, Johnny Carson. In junior high school, he became an amateur magician, leading to performing tricks in front of an audience. After graduating from Warrensville Heights High School in Warrensville, OH, Hall attended Ohio University in Athens to study law, but switched his major to communications. He later transferred to Kent State University, where he began performing at local comedy clubs to support himself through college. After graduating, Hall took his comedy act on the road before ...

We really enjoyed our trip. We originally took the trip to see Cong, the village where The Quiet Man was filmed but truly enjoyed the countryside and Kylemore Abbey. Ross Errilly Friary was an amazing stop for atmospheric photography. I highly recommend this tour.

Original artist: niritsu
第02話 「楽器!」
*Quick Thoughts:
Episode 2 was all about Yui and being able to afford a guiter for the light music club. It started off nice, with Yui's impressions on the other three girls. Bassist Mio, who is described as the cool type by her, is asked why she decided to play the bass and not the guitar. It's because she'd be embarrassed since the guitarist is usually the center of the attention from the audience. Even just thinking about being one would make her faint.
Keyboardist Tsumugi, who is described as the quiet yet cute type, learned to play the piano from a young age. Also the tea cups and tableware found in the club room were brought straight from her house — so the rich/ojousama type.
Drummer Ritsu, who is described as the energetic type by Yui, has no real reason for why she chose to play drums, besides thinking it's cool. But when it comes to playing the other instruments such as guitar, bass, or keyboard, she imagines how they require such small, cramped finger movements, and this greatly bothers her — as figured.
The next issue is getting Yui's guitar. They don't come cheap. Too bad it can't come out of the club's funds.
But after getting some part-time jobs, and receiving a discount by the store clerk when he realized Tsumugi was the manager's daughter by the thickness of her eyebrows, Yui was finally able to get the "cute" guitar she so wanted. She loved it so much she even slept with it next to her in bed.
Nice episode — liked it a lot more than last week's. Poor Yui not being warned earlier about the feedback from the amp. By the way, have I mentioned how obsessed I am with the ending? There should be a full music video for it, seriously.

Ron Schmidt Running for Commissioner Seat
MADISON - After 16 years as the Madison County Commissioner, Jerry McCallum is not seeking re-election. One of two Republicans to have announced his intention to run for McCallum's District 1 seat is rural Humphrey farmer Ron Schmidt. Schmidt told WJAG News that he's impressed with the current board of commissioners, and that they care about people and do they best they can for the county. Schmidt says that as a full-time farmer, he'd bring an ag perspective to the board. The other Republican in the District 1 race is Louis Pofahl, a district representative for Congressman Jeff Fortenberry. No Democrat has filed for the seat.

Cloud Security:
Flexible security from the cloud
Mar 05, 2012
- Cloud-based data security for small and medium sized businesses (SMBs)
- Reliably secure and protect company data against attack (e.g. viruses, malware, unauthorized access)
- Available in the new TelekomCloud Business Marketplace from Deutsche Telekom
Deutsche Telekom presents the new one-stop Internet security solution 'Cloud Security' in cooperation with ClearPath Networks, at CeBIT 2012. This flexible, low-cost solution offers SMBs reliable protection against viruses and attacks from the Internet (e.g. malware filtering). It also prevents access to inappropriate web content (content filtering) and provides employees the ability to securely access their corporate data while giving administrators the ability to manage every remote user's access. Another special feature is that all the data traffic is filtered and cleaned, 'in the cloud', before it finds its way onto company premises. The solution will be available to purchase, on a flexible, pay-per-employee basis, via the TelekomCloud Business Marketplace.
With Cloud Security, companies no longer need to locally install and maintain multiple pieces of software on each workstation to handle complex firewall, VPN, Anti-Virus, Content Filtering & intrusion Detection software and systems; instead they can set-up an integrated protection system using easy-to-manage web filters and services from the cloud. Not only does this reduce IT hardware & software costs, but it also reduces administration and maintenance costs. The solution is managed via a central web interface. In addition, "Security out of the Cloud" frees up the company's lines, so that data traffic from the network is reduced and no local processing power is needed for virus scanning. It is also possible to connect and protect several company locations and multiple mobile devices to the Cloud Security solution via a simple, easy-to-use web interface.
Cloud Security offers SMBs the opportunity to cost effectively protect their company against attacks, to securely and flexibly interlink network locations & remote users with each other, and to protect their employees against malware, viruses and unacceptable content. All software updates run automatically, so that the software is up to date and reliably protect company data against attacks from the Internet at all times. Deutsche Telekom operates and hosts the system in certified, highly secure data centers in Germany. All data is transmitted via encrypted VPN connections - providing a highly secure environment to access the TelekomCloud.
ClearPath Networks, based in Los Angeles, USA, is the industry leader in the development of cloud-based network infrastructure and security platforms. Founded in 2002, the company's patented VSP platform line is utilized by over 3,000 customers in 60 countries including some of the world's largest telecommunications companies.

Brutus Magnus and Mickie James
Some good news for those of you that have been hoping for TNA to give Brutus Magnus another push towards the top of the ladder. It appears that management is quite interested in doing just that. The decision was made recently to pair him up with Mickie James, his real lie wife and the mother of his child, on Impact Wrestling. The hope is that her popularity will be an asset in trying to get the fans to buy into Magnus again.
February 26, 2015
Mickie James engaged
A lot has changed for Mickie James over the last couple of years. As many of you already know, she became a mother for the very first time not too long ago. That was quite the life changing event. Well, more changes are on the way, as the former WWE diva announced that she is now engaged to be married to TNA star Brutus Magnus, who happens to be the father of her child. No word yet on when and where the ceremony will be taking place.

In another move towards centralisation of nursery admission, the Directorate of Education (DoE), Delhi, will set up help desks across the city for collection and submission of nursery admission forms.
Director (Education) Amit Singla said the department had received feedback about some parents facing issues in getting nursery admission forms. The help desks are being set up to address this issue, he said.
The desks are being set up in all 28 zones of the department, the director said.
Parents will be able to find such desks in at least 20 locations across the city. These desks will have common admission forms for applicants belonging to Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and disadvantaged groups.
The facility will be available exclusively for parents applying under the EWS category. About 25 per cent of the total seats in each school is reserved for EWS students under the Right to Education Act, 2009.
Parents will be able to collect forms from the help desks and submit completed forms at the same desk.
These forms will be segregated, according to distance, and be sent to the schools in the order of preference as stated by the parent, Singla said.
The help desks will start functioning from Thursday, January 10, for five days, till January 15. They will be open from 10 am to 2 pm on all working days.
After closure of submission of forms on Monday, January 15, according to the DoE schedule, A school-wise list of forms received/submitted shall be prepared and a copy of the same shall also be forwarded to schools.
Heads of all recognised unaided schools have been directed to send one authorised representative to the district concerned on January 15 to collect the forms and to ensure that forms received in the district office shall be considered for admissions and draw of lots.
The move is expected to ease the admission rush outside schools as the last date of submission of forms draws near. Although most schools have an online application form that can be downloaded for the general category, all submissions continue to be made in person at schools.
The Director also sad that once the forms reach the schools, they can segregate them according to distance and have their distance-wise draw of lots.
The last date for displaying the list of selected candidates under all categories, including waiting lists, is February 15.

Several months ago, cyber attacks on institutions like Bank of America, Saudi Aramco and Wells Fargo prompted warnings of scenarios straight out of the TV series The Walking Dead, but without the zombies. According to US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, a cyber attack on the US would first cause the financial system to break down, with citizens unable to get their money. It will then be followed with power and water companies shutting down and within days, people would be roving the streets, looting or foraging for food.
Now it's John McConnell, former American intelligence chief, who's sounding the warning bell and says that unless the government takes action, the US will soon experience a cyber attack with the same magnitude as the 9-11 attack on the World Trade Center. In a discussion with the Financial Times, McConnell reiterated the vision that Panetta painted. He also cited the cyber attacks on the websites of several banks and big companies as proof of an imminent attack on the US that can happen anytime and urges political and business leaders to "wake up" and take concrete measures. What measures the former Intelligence chief wants to happen is unknown, but he has been very vocal about his disappointment that a comprehensive cyber security bill failed to pass the US Senate.
While the warnings McConnell is perpetuating are indeed alarming, some sectors are taking it with a grain of salt and wondering if there's any ulterior motive behind it. After all, this is the man who's heading Booz Allen Hamilton, one of the biggest consulting firms in the world today that specialize in management and technology. So it's practically McConnell's job to make this cyber threat seem realistic or dangerous since companies like the one he's heading will be the ones to benefit the most. It also doesn't help McConnell's street cred that while he blames Iran for the attacks on Aramco and US banks and believes the country will probably work with Russian and Chinese hackers, he has also admitted that he doubts such groups have the tools to launch such a dangerous attack right now. However, he does believe that these "sophisticated tools," whatever they are, will soon fall into dangerous hands. How soon? That is something that not even McConnell can answer.

Pass fed bill to accelerate bridge work
It's time for majority members of the U.S. House, including the 13 Republicans from Pennsylvania, to get on the road to reality regarding transportation funding.
PennDOT announced Wednesday that it would begin posting weight restrictions on more than 1,000 bridges across the state. That is due to a stunning lack of political leadership at the state level, where Gov. Tom Corbett and both houses of the Legislature have dithered as Pennsylvania continues its embarrassing and dangerous status as the state with the most structurally deficient bridges. More than 5,000 bridges, more than 20 percent of those maintained by the state, are in that category. Nearly 25 percent of the bridges in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties are structurally deficient.
Lawmakers have allowed the bridges to deteriorate even though proposed reconstruction programs not only would fix them but act as an economic stimulus not only in the construction industry, but throughout its long supply chain.
The problem is that construction costs money and lawmakers lack the political courage to raise it through elimination of the cap on the state tax on the wholesale price of oil. Their fear isn't a collapsed bridge, but political blow-back that might result from a tax increase.
In Harrisburg this week a legislative committee has been conducting yet another in a long series of hearings that already have well-defined the problem and the solution. It isn't information that's lacking; it's political courage.
Meanwhile in Washington, Sen. Bob Casey has been pressing for passage of a transportation funding bill - the first in Congress since 2009 - that includes $500 million in competitive grants for bridge repair. Given the dire condition of so many bridges, Pennsylvania would be eligible for some of that money, which would free more state money for more bridge work.
Yet the money is not included in the House bill, where efforts persist to cut transportation funding.
Reps. Lou Barletta and Tom Marino and their GOP colleagues in the Pennsylvania delegation should work to pass the funding and help Pennsylvania end its status as the nation's capital of decrepit bridges.

I figured I would give my experience within the categories. I am currently a cat3, and could have my upgrade to 2 next season if I tried. In Montana, we race the 3's with the pro/1/2's due to field size. I have also raced cat3 only races as well, so that's where my upper category insight comes from.
Category (cat5) - The races are anywhere from 35-60 miles long. Usually you will race with the cat4's. Expect some fast guys trying to eek their way through to the upper categories... They will usually be the ones NOT pulling, but near the front. The guy that gets bored and takes massive pulls at the front will usually be dropped in the wind up for the sprint. If there are climbs in your race, there will be attacks on the first few ups, so be ready and near the front. If a break away succeeds, it's usually because it got away on a longer hill. As a cat5, try everything! Sit and watch, go take some pulls, shake things up with an attack or two. Get as much experience as you can in the 10 races you need to do before you upgrade to cat4.
Cat4 - Usually the same as the cat5's, but you know who's who and who/what to watch for. Try to be near the front. It keeps you somewhat crash free, and it's less work than the constant yo-yoing in the middle or back of the pack. Leave the attacking to somebody else! The only thing you need to do is make sure nobody of importance gets away. If you're in the front all of the time, you're not dropped. If you find yourself still in the top 10 in the last Km of the race, congrats! Now comes the fun. Someone is bound to get antsy and throw down a little past the Km sign. Depending on your strengths, that's your boy. Be 4 riders back from that guy. He'll realize the error of his ways, and probably slow down at the 600m, and that usually makes someone else go for it. Get on them, and wait for the 200m sign... It's up to you from there.
Cat3 - The races become longer - usually 60-90+ miles. Things can get strange from here on. Teams come into play, and tactics become important. Find a team and start training with them as you learn the game. Your first few races might see you working your ass off to get somebody else across the line, so don't expect much in the win category. If you don't have a team, don't waste your energy. Sit in and get near the front (recurring theme). Make yourself invisible until it counts! Riders are finding their strengths and they know how to make people hurt, and same goes for you. If you find yourself in a break and you're a climber, you have it easier. Wait for a hill, get on the front, and rain the pain. Climbing is slower (duh) so drafting becomes almost non-existent. If you hurt, they hurt. When the hill crests, let the other guys take over and save yourself for the finish.
Cat1/2/pro - These categories are fast on a whole new level - A level that can leave you scratching your head as the rest of the group rides into the distance. You're racing with pros. Think about that before you do anything stupid... But by now, you should have a team and know your responsibilities. If you feel like you can't do your job for a certain race, SAY SOMETHING, as your teammates are counting on you to do a job. Not doing that job can ruin the race for the team, and possibly send you looking for a new kit.
If anyone can add or subtract anything, I welcome it.
Sticky this maybe?

text: Switching allegiance 'selfish' - Barton 04 Jun 2013 Outspoken footballer Joey Barton has given his thoughts on the issue of players swapping national allegiance, describing those who do so as "selfish". Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast In an interview with the UTV, the former England international - who is in Belfast to earn his coaching badges - said the rules on declaring should change because it's becoming a problem.Barton explained: "I think a young player maybe at 11, 12, 13, if you declare for say Northern Ireland, then you get a lot of coaching from the IFA and they put a lot of time into you, then at 19 or 20 you decide you want to play for England or southern Ireland, is that fair? "Well, if you said at 14 you want to play for England or southern Ireland then they could put the time into coaching you because that's where you're going to end up."But you're taking away from someone who doesn't have an option and might have been a kid who was maybe not as good at 13, but with the right coaching could have represented their country, so I think it's really unfair."Maybe there could be a rule made where if you're a certain age you declare and that's it and that would stop it because it's becoming a problem now.Joey BartonA controversial FIFA ruling exists that allows players born in Northern Ireland to declare for the Republic, regardless of blood ties, and a handful of players have taken advantage of it - despite spending time in the Irish Football Association's youth set-up.The likes of James McClean, Dan Devine, Shane Duffy, Daniel Kearns and Paul George have all accepted age-group calls for NI, only to pledge their senior future to the FAI.More recently 19-year-old Wolves striker Liam McAlinden revealed he is making the switch after representing NI at youth level.Joey Barton continued: "It's unfair, isn't it? That's how I would see it to be. I've always been a great believer of you make your bed and you lie in it."Barton, who started his career as a youth at Everton and has since played for the likes of Newcastle and Manchester City, also spoke about the infamous French accent he adopted in Marseille."You don't realise you're doing it at the time, then all of a sudden you realise and you know you look stupid," he said."I'd be quick to laugh at someone else if they did the same and, in the scheme of things, it was funny - but I'm not the first and I certainly won't be the last." © UTV Share Share Share

View all News Articles for MidState Medical Center
October 28, 2003
MidState President and Chief Executive Officer Lucille Janatka accepted the award on behalf of the Hospital. Ms. Janatka stated that, "MidState is pleased to receive this recognition as it validates the commitment and dedication of our entire staff, volunteers and Board of Directors."
"The Breakthrough Award is one more step in a journey to provide long term institutional success through a customer-focused organizational culture." This has been accomplished by years of commitment to continuous quality improvement. Janatka cited MidState's vision of providing superior services that meet or exceed customers' expectations, as the catalyst for advancement. She said that "MidState Medical Center's core values are defined as 'respect, caring, and teamwork' and are reflected in the daily interactions of our employees with every customer, both internal and external."
MidState's success has also been due to a strong infrastructure that focuses on hiring, orienting, reorienting, and recognizing staff at every level of the organization. The CQIA examiners acknowledged MidState's leadership and attention to four key business drivers: customer service, quality, profitability, and a skilled workforce.

Here is a drawing I made last night of Saturn.
This morning I cut it out and mounted in my sketch book, the rest was done at the eyepiece.
The seeing was OK, mostly AntIII, later degrading to AntIV. I did however have a couple of brief moments of AntII early on in my session, during which I was treated to a clear view of the white collar around the NPC, and the yellow zone in the North temperate region (which is apparently the remnant of last year's storm).
No details within any belts or zones unfortunately.
I was able to capture the broad Encke minimum in ring A, and three different tones in ring B.

W.Va. Senator Says Goverment Should Fund Health Monitoring
A top state senator wants West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin to use $10 million in reserves for health monitoring after chemicals spilled into 300,000 people's water supply.
Senate Majority John Unger wants the governor to tap into the state's rainy day fund for the program. The last-resort fund of about $915 million is considered one of the nation's strongest.
The Berkeley County Democrat says county health officials, such as Dr. Rahul Gupta of Kanawha County, should help administer the monitoring. Gupta has said health tracking is needed after people had contact with the little-known chemical, crude MCHM.
Little toxicity information is available about the chemicals that spilled Jan. 9. They were not considered hazardous by federal standards.
A Tomblin spokeswoman didn't immediately return a message seeking comment Friday.

The Pregnancy "Cure"Rebecca Odes
Women who suffer from certain auto-immune diseases, such as Multiple Sclerosis and Rheumatoid Arthritis, often experience a remission during pregnancy. Although this connection has been known for many years, doctors have just begun to understand why.
A new article suggests doctors have isolated the mechanism responsible: an enzyme known as pyruvate kinase. This enzyme is lowered in women with normal pregnancies. Raised levels of pyruvate kinase are found in pregnant women with pre-eclampsia. As Dr. Howard R Petty, a leader of the study explains, "Pre-eclampsia has features of inflammatory disease. If you don't reduce these pyruvate levels, you heighten inflammatory disease,"
Doctors hope that reproducing this enzyme could prevent pre-eclampsia and its associated serious complications. There is also hope for auto-immune diseases if the enzyme could be replicated and the diseases respond as predicted.

Carbondale district waives $50,000-$60,000 in tuition for out-of-district students
CARBONDALE - Tuition waivers approved last month will total $50,000 to $60,000, district officials said at a meeting Wednesday.
The Carbondale Area school board approved the waivers for seven students last month. At the school board meeting Wednesday, audience member Bill Andrews questioned the price per student and property taxes lost in the move.
Business Manager David Cerra explained to Mr. Andrews that each high school student's tuition costs about $9,000. Elementary students are about $7,000. The waivers were approved for one year and the board will revisit them in the spring.
Board President Gary Smedley said the auditor general's report identified the seven students' residency issues. When the board addressed it in August, the school year was already closing in.
"It was more of evaluating the impact on the students," he said of the decision to waive tuition fees.
During the meeting, the board approved board member John Jordan and Mr. Smedley to attend the National School Board Association Conference from April 5 to 7 in New Orleans.
After the meeting, Mr. Smedley said that each board member would follow Act 93 requirements, which limits their expenses to $2,000 each. Any expense over that amount will be paid out of pocket.
The board also approved a settlement with Gentex Corp., reducing the market value of properties on Main Street in Fell Twp. and Belmont Street in Carbondale from about $5 million to about $4.6 million. Mr. Cerra said the final number was a compromise and Gentex will be reimbursed for overages paid through pro-rated tax credits for a seven-year period.

Immigration Law
Immigration Law Questions? Ask an Immigration Lawyer.
If I am considered as a independently contracted physician at my 2nd place of employment can a concurrent H1B be filed? I was employed with a emergency Room and just was told they cannot do a concurrent? I am just really confused about the whole concurrent H1B Visa etc.
Confused as to the whole concurrent H1B visa requirements. Was told that because they consider the employees as independent contracted phsycians then they are unable to file the concurrent. Is there another way to file a concurrent H1B and still maintain my current position at my second job. I hope this makes sense. I also have an LLC which I am unsure if my LLC can file a concurrent H1B? Hope I am making sense. I was misled by my current employer that I would qualify for student loan repayment through the FQHC but had to take a second job when I realized I do not requalify.
So me having an LLC of my own here can my LLC petition for H1B Concurrent>?
But the concurrent H1B VISA application needs to be with the company which I will be working for. For example, if I am working in an Emergency Department the petitioner needs to be from that ER correct. Can I have someone with a current S-corp petition for a concurrent H1B Visa if I will not be directly working through them?
So if I could get a sponsoring corporation, who contracts me out, if I am contracted out to say an Emergency Department, then the Emergency department would pay the sponsor who in turn pays me? Correct. Sorry I'm being such a pain I'm just trying to get this right
So last time, say I have a current s-corp OR LLC owner willing to file a concurrent H1B for me, I would be able to resume employment through them with a company who says they do not file that? For example, I was employed in the ED with a company called Schumacher. They informed me that they do not file concurrent H1B's and as a result could not continue my employment, however, if I am able to get an S-corp or LLC owner to agree to file a concurrent I should be able to resume my employment correct? As long as the concurrent H1B is filed?

Lillehammer learning curveWhen he was 20, Ole Einar Bjørndalen made his Olympic debut on native soil at Lillehammer 1994. He finished 36th in the 20km individual pursuit and 28th in the sprint, while helping the host quartet finish seventh in the men's relay.
The experience stood him in good stead. Four years later in Nagano, he claimed his first Olympic title in the sprint, and also featured in the Norwegian quartet that took a relay silver.
Salt Lake supremacyAt Salt Lake City 2002, by now 28 and in his prime, Bjørndalen's medal-winning exploits gained momentum, as, as he achieved a remarkable clean sweep of the biathlon golds, winning the sprint, the pursuit, the 20km individual and the 4x7.5km relay.
By the time he arrived in Turin for the 2006 Olympic Winter Games, he was already established at the top of his sport. However, there were no more gold medals this time. Instead he had to settle for silvers in the 20km individual and pursuit events, and a bronze in the new mass-start event.
In Whistler at Vancouver 2010, the Norwegian took his Olympic medal tally to 11 as he won silver in the 20km individual before winning gold alongside Halvard Hannevold, Tarjei Bø and Emil Hegle Svendsen in the men's relay!
Surpassing Bjorn DaehlieBjørndalen arrived at Sochi 2014 off the back of a barren spell on the World Cup and world championship circuit but with the scent of Olympic immortality in his nostrils.
After securing majestic victory in the sprint to take his Olympic medal tally to 12 and put him level with compatriot Bjorn Daehlie at the top of the all-time rankings, he missed out on the podium in the pursuit and the 20km individual, and was then uncharacteristically wayward with his shooting in the mass start. It seemed perhaps as if destiny was going to deny him further honours. However, Bjørndalen finally rediscovered his golden touch on 13 February 2014 as he helped Norway to victory in the first ever mixed relay at the Winter Games. In doing so he claimed his eighth Olympic title and more significantly his 13th Olympic medal overall.
With eight golds, four silver and one bronze, Bjørndalen now stands alone at the summit of Winter Olympian greats. In addition to his unrivalled Olympic medal haul, he also boasts 93 victories in the World Cup, amassed since 1995, together with 19 world titles and six large crystal globes.
Blazing the trailIn Sochi, Bjørndalen confirmed his status as the best biathlete in history. His remarkable success, consistency and longevity are, in large measure, due to a peerless level of professionalism. He has pushed his sport to physical limits never seen before, with meticulous preparation and a punishing regime that has seen him clock up 900-1,000 training hours every year from the age of 15.
Few athletes have done as much to galvanise their sports. His approach raised the bar for a new generation of biathletes. He was, for example, the first biathlete to work with a personal shooting coach and a sports psychologist. And his love of competition has continued to drive him at a point where many might have been tempted to rest on their laurels, spurring him to constantly reinvent himself, not least when, at the age of 36, he took the radical step of revamping his shooting style ahead of Vancouver 2010.
Member of the IOCOn 20 February 2014, Bjørndalen capped a remarkable Games in Sochi when he was elected by his peers to take up an eight-year term on the IOC's Athletes' Commission, alongside Canadian ice hockey star Hayley Wickenheiser. Soon after the 2014 Games he put an end to rumours of his impending retirement by confirming his intention to continue competing, meaning that he will remain a major force in winter sports, both in the arena and beyond it, for some time to come.In April 2016, Bjørndalen resigned as an IOC Member.
