Finding Differences and Synchronizing Designs
Whether you are transferring a captured design to a new PCB document for the first time, or making changes to an existing design on either the schematic or PCB side, some way of keeping the two sides in-sync is required. Altium Designer provides a powerful design synchronization feature that delivers an effective solution to the problem of keeping designs synchronized, allowing you to get on with the most important and, from an engineer's perspective, the more enjoyable job of actual design.
Synchronization - An Overview
The synchronization process can essentially be broken down into three steps:
1. Compare design documents (e.g. compare project source documents to the target PCB)
2. List the results of that comparison (the differences detected between the compared documents)
3. Implement changes to resolve those differences
At the heart of the synchronization process is a user-configurable Comparator (or difference engine). It is this Comparator that is used to implement Step 1 above - comparing the nominated design documents and compiling a list of differences.
Step 2 is the provision of a dialog that lists the results of the comparison and offers full control over the direction in which design updates are made when resolving the differences. See the section Directing the Update Traffic for further detail.
Step 3 is the execution step - actions to be implemented in order to bring the designs back into sync. Each action is actually a macro command, with the collective actions represented as an Engineering Change Order (ECO). See the section Implementing Design Updates for further detail.
Figure 1 illustrates the overall flow for the synchronization process.
Resolving Synchronization Errors
Most problems with synchronizing a design generally fall into two categories:
- Missing component footprints. This occurs when:
- A footprint model is missing from the component information in the schematic.
- You have forgotten to add the required PCB libraries to the currently available libraries.
- The component in the schematic does not match any PCB library component.
- Footprint pin numbers not matched to schematic pin numbers. Altium Designer supports user-definable pin-to-pad mapping, the default behavior is to expect the same number/letter on both sides. Pin-to-pad mapping is defined in the PCB Model dialog (edit the schematic symbol, select the footprint in the Models region of the dialog, and click Edit).
To resolve errors, perform a Show Differences, then in the Differences dialog click the Explore Differences button. Interrogate offending design objects through the Differences panel when it appears.
Direct Schematic ↔ PCB Synchronization
Altium Designer's Schematic and PCB Editors provide direct synchronization commands. These commands are direct in the sense that the update direction for any differences is fully one way or the other. The Differences dialog will not appear and you can therefore not change update direction, nor can you perform bidirectional updates simultaneously. Instead, where differences are detected, you will be presented directly with the Engineering Change Order dialog - loaded with the modifications needed to push the design changes from the schematic to the PCB or vice-versa.
It is therefore important that the Comparator and ECO Generation options are setup appropriately in their respective tabs of the Options for Project dialog (Project » Project Options). It is also a good idea to carefully scrutinize the proposed changes listed in an ECO, to ensure that changes will be made as you expect.
The following direct synchronization commands are available from within the target PCB document:
- Design » Update Schematics in ParentProjectName - used to update the parent project's source schematics with changes made to the PCB design
- Design » Import Changes From ParentProjectName - used to update the active PCB document with changes made to the source schematic documents of the parent project.
The following direct synchronization command is available from within a source schematic document:
- Design » Update PCB Document DocumentName - used to update the indicated PCB document with changes made to the project's source schematic documents.

It was an excellent show. Tommy Emmanuel always is very entertaining because of his incredible guitar skills and his stage presence. Martin Taylor is among the best jazz guitarists I have heard and his duets with Tommy were enjoyable. Tommy left the stage at one point in the second set and Taylor performed three instrumentals on his own. He is very accomplished and he was entertaining, but he is not someone I would go to see perform solo. It would be great to see him with a good jazz trio or quartet, however. So, five stars for Tommy, who was as good as ever. The four-star rating is because, as fine a musician as Martin Taylor is, he is not who the audience wanted to see and hear and he does not have Tommy's versatility. If I attend another Tommy Emmanuel show in the future, I'll prefer to see him playing solo.
Recommended for ages 6 & older. Please use discretion when bringing children to any live theatre performance.

PUBLISHED Wed Jul 06 23:02:00 EDT 2011 0 1 / 8 Maya Underworld The bones of six humans—including two children—jade beads, shells, and stone tools are among the Maya "treasures" recently found in a water-filled cave off a sinkhole at the famous archaeological site of Chichén Itzá (picture) in Mexico, archaeologists say. The ancient objects are most likely related to a ritual human sacrifice during a time when water levels were lower, sometime between A.D. 850 and 1250, the researchers say. It's "very improbable" that the remains and artifacts were "just tossed" into the sinkhole, known as a cenote, expedition leader Guillermo Anda told National Geographic News in an email. Rather, he said, they were likely placed there during a ceremony to appease the Maya rain god, Chaak.Extending from what is now southern Mexico through Guatemala and into northern Belize, the Maya Empire is noted for having the only known written language in Mesoamerica, as well as for its elaborate works of art and architecture. Chichén Itzá was one of the greatest Maya cities on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. (See an interactive map of key Maya sites.)The discovery of a human sacrifice deep in one the region's cenotes supports the idea that, for the Maya, the sinkholes "represented thresholds of communication with the spiritual and sacred world that lay under the surface of the Earth," said Anda, a professor at the Autonomous University of Yucatán.(See pictures of famous sinkholes around the world.)—John Roach Photograph courtesy Tamara Thomsen Going Down A member of Anda's team descends into the Holtun cenote, where the evidence for ritual human sacrifice was discovered during the 2009-10 field season. The sinkhole is near El Castillo, a step pyramid at the heart of Chichén Itzá that was dedicated to Kukulkan, a feathered serpent deity.At the time of the newfound likely sacrifice to Chaak, the region was in the throes of a long-lasting drought, according to Anda."We believe this prolonged drought might have been an important factor in the so-called collapse" of the Maya civilization, he said. The Maya Empire went into a mysterious and precipitous decline around A.D. 900. (Read more about the rise and fall of the Maya in National Geographic magazine.) Photograph courtesy Guillermo Anda Hanging Out Another member from Anda's team descends into the Holtun cenote during the expedition, part of the Cenote Cult archaeological project associated with Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History.For the project, Anda and his team systematically explored and surveyed 33 caves and cenotes at Maya sites across the Yucatán Peninsula "where we expected to find representations of ritual activities," he said.(Related video: "Diver 'Vanishes' in Portal to Maya Underworld.") Photograph courtesy Guillermo Anda Submerged Skull The archaeologists found the remains of at least six humans—including this skull—on the ledge in the Holtun cenote.The remains and other artifacts were found about 70 feet (21 meters) into a horizontal passageway into the wall of the cenote. The only way for the objects to have gotten there, the archaeologists argue, is for humans to have placed them deliberately—during times of drought, water levels were likely low enough that the passageway would have been dry.To have arrived here naturally, Anda said, the artifacts would have had to fall in the water at a time when the passageway was submerged, as it is today, "stop their trajectory toward the bottom at around ten feet [three meters], then swim horizontally toward the ledge where they are deposited today."(Related: "Mysteries of 'Sacrificial' Maya Blue Pigment Solved?") Photograph courtesy Tamara Thomsen Mortuary Items Ceramic vessels (such as the one pictured), animal bones, jade beads, shells, and knives were found with the submerged human remains at the Maya site. These items were likely part of the sacrificial ritual—their presence "is another reason to believe that this arrangement is a mortuary offering," Anda said.The bones and artifacts were found underwater—about 85 feet (26 meters) below ground level and about 16 feet (5 meters) below the current water level—but they were likely deposited in the passageway when the water was lower, due to drought. Photograph courtesy Tamara Thomsen Lethal Blow Another of the underwater human skulls found in the Holtun cenote rests on a rock. Analysis of the skull revealed signs of a lethal blow, Anda wrote in a paper on the find presented during the April 2011 meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.Charcoal pieces found around the skull suggest that fire was part of the ritual associated with this individual, Anda noted. Though Maya sacrifice victims were typically war captives, the human remains found in the Holtun cenote don't display telltale signs of nutritional stress, Anda told National Geographic News. (Take a Maya quiz.) Photograph courtesy Tamara Thomsen Dog and Deer Near the center of the underwater ledge, the researchers found a human tibia—or shin bone—close to a dog skull, a flint knife, and deer bones.The finding of these undisturbed remains will allow researchers to make "more precise interpretations about what the ritual activity in the cenotes of the important city of Chichén Itzá was," Anda said.(Related: "Maya Mystery Solved by 'Important' Volcanic Discovery?") Photograph courtesy Tamara Thomsen Scuba Science Decked out in full scuba gear, Anda heads toward the ledge where the remains of the ritual sacrifice were discovered in a deep passage off the cenote.The discovery was a natural one for Anda, given his complementary careers as a professional cave-diving instructor and archaeologist. "My specialty," he noted, "is the study of cenotes with a special focus on rituals related to death."

I think I'm getting there. Feeling very good on the bike lately on the fast group rides like Nyack. Solo'd off the front today on the Park Ridge ride, got an OK gap for 3 miles or so, then one of the faster 40+ vets, Sandy (the local Zipp rep) bridged up to me, couldn't quite hold his wheel and we got reeled in a mile later (I think if he had eased up enough for me to grab his wheel and recover for a minute we might have worked together and held it out until the end). Then in the last mile I'm on Sandy's wheel again. I turn around and we have a gap (I thought the whole pack was right there). But I couldn't hold it again, he actually did stay away (in front of the sprint by 500 meters at end), they caught me in the last 200 meters and dropped me like a boat anchor. But lots of time at the front or even off the front, and even when utterly gassed my recovery was pretty good.
How this will translate into my ability to hang with the 35+ boys in NY City on March 2 remains to be seen, but I'm feeling leaner, meaner and fitter than this time last year. My knee seems to have responded to the first Synvisc injection too (series of three, artificial knee fluid for arthritic knees like mine) and that's feeling much better too. Hope to be strong enough to work for the leaders on my team, maybe do some chasing, blocking or leading out. That's if I don't get killed in a crash or utterly shelled of course.
We're all peloton dogs. And every dog has his day. Who knows? Maybe Pcad jumps on the right wheel, gets in a 4 man break, the peloton gets hit by lightning and I get a place.

Before the production of Gus Van Sant's newest picture, "Restless" was deemed an awkward title. Eighteen months later, it seems like fate.
Van Sant's work resists pigeonholing; even so, "Restless" wasn't an obvious choice to follow "Milk." The script, Jason Lew's first, is an adaptation of his play, "Of Winter and Water Birds," in which a terminally ill teenage girl (Mia Wasikowska) falls for a boy who likes to crash funerals (Henry Hopper). There's also the ghost of a Japanese WWII kamikaze pilot. (Ryo Kase).
The film's production team sounded as unlikely as the plot: Lew went to NYU with Bryce Dallas Howard; now Howard would make her producing debut on its feature adaptation, with her dad's Imagine Entertainment at Columbia Pictures.
Dallas Howard and Van Sant? Sure. But Van Sant, a major studio and one of the industry's biggest production companies? (Van Sant and Imagine previously made "Psycho," at Universal Pictures.) Teaming on a teen romance that combines terminal illness and kamikaze ghosts? That's a combination with the potential for entertaining production meetings, but not for smooth sailing.
This week, Sony Pictures Classics announced what perhaps should have been the case all along: It will handle the distribution of "Restless" in North America this fall -- about two years after it began production. With that, indieWIRE takes a look back of what happened along the way.
August 2009: "Restless" is announced as Gus Van Sant's followup to "Milk." Initial reports bill it only as a romance with plot specifics "under wraps," but the script soon leaks. Declares Movieline, "'Restless' is the most emo love story to ever don black lipstick and listen to The Smiths."
November 2009: Production begins. However, the film is no longer called "Restless."
March 2010: The untitled Van Sant romance is in post; Danny Elfman is working on the soundtrack.
April 2010: The untitled Van Sant romance will not premiere in Cannes.
June 2010: The Gus Van Sant film, now called "Restless," gets a January 28, 2011 release date.
October 2010: Columbia Pictures releases the trailer for "Restless."
November 2010: Columbia Pictures pulls the film from its January release date.
December 2010: The Sundance Film Festival announces its 2011 lineup, which does not include "Restless." Anne Thompson says, "It was literally the first film accepted by Sundance last August" and "it's a teen drama that has all the earmarks of a Sony Pictures Classics release."
March 2011: Sony Pictures Classics announces that it will release Gus Van Sant's "Restless" this fall in North America, with Sony Pictures Releasing International distributing the film in the rest of the world. " 'Having known and admired Gus' work for years, we are so pleased to be releasing his newest film, which to our mind, is one of his very best. We are also thrilled to be working with producer Bryce Howard and the impressive team at Imagine,' states Sony Pictures Classics." Anticipation is high that it will premiere in Cannes.

Darmstadt, Germany, March 19, 2013 – Merck Serono, a division of Merck in Darmstadt, Germany, today announced a collaboration for promotion of the type 2 diabetes drug Glucophage® (metformin hydrochloride) under different formulations in China. Under terms of the agreement, Merck Serono and Bristol-Myers Squibb will co-promote Glucophage in China through a profit-sharing arrangement. Glucophage has been marketed by Bristol-Myers Squibb-SASS in China since 1999. The two companies will utilize their existing resources and complementary strengths, with Bristol-Myers Squibb-SASS continuing to manufacture Glucophage's IR® (immediate release) formulation. The collaboration will seek to expand the geographic distribution of Glucophage as well as provide diabetes-related health and medical information including education for health professionals. In addition, the co-promotion will significantly increase outreach to hospitals. Other terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
"The incidence of type 2 diabetes in China is growing at a tremendous rate. This new collaboration will help ensure that we continue to be a leading solution provider for these patients. Both BMS and Merck Serono have long experience in the field of diabetes and this makes for a powerful partnership as we aim to improve the lives of patients in China," said Belen Garijo, Merck Serono's Chief Operating Officer. "Merck Serono's solid position in Emerging Markets will be further strengthened by the diabetes partnership in China."
"We believe the collaboration between Bristol-Myers Squibb and Merck Serono will expand access for Chinese patients to Glucophage," said Jean-Christophe Pointeau, President, Bristol-Myers Squibb China. "The combined promotion efforts of the two companies will help reach more patients in urban and rural communities who have had less access to treatment and who can benefit from metformin, an established standard of care for treating Type 2 diabetes."
According to a recent estimate by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), China now has the most people with diabetes of any country in the world. It has become a major public health problem in China with more than 90 million people suffering from the disease
. Current estimates are that more than 60% of patients with type 2 diabetes are undiagnosed
, possibly due to a combination of poor public awareness and limited opportunities for diagnosis.
Merck Serono has a long history in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, which is the most common form of diabetes, accounting for at least 90% of all cases of diabetes
. The company developed metformin in 1957 and started its first commercialization under the brand name Glucophage in France. Since 2005, the IDF has recommended metformin as the treatment of choice for first-line therapy in its first ever evidence-based global guidelines for the management of type 2 diabetes
. To respond to patients' individual needs, the company continued to develop new formulations and presentations of metformin including Glucophage XR
, an extended-release formulation; Glucophage Powder formulation in sachets; and Glucovance
(metformin and glibenclamide), a fixed-dose combination therapy. The availability, indications and prescribing information for these prescription-only medicines vary from country to country. BMS and Merck Serono intend to launch Glucophage XR in China in the near future.
This partnership is a significant milestone for Merck Serono and the Merck Group as they strengthen their commitment to China.

About Diabetes
Diabetes has reached epidemic proportion in many regions of the world. According to the latest data released by the IDF, global studies demonstrate that the number of people with diabetes has reached 366 million in 2011
with 4 .6 million deaths in 2011
. Among adults, it is the leading cause of new cases of blindness, kidney failure, and amputations of feet and legs. A person with diabetes has a shorter life expectancy and has about twice the risk of dying on any given day as a person of similar age without diabetes
About Glucophage®
(metformin hydrochloride) is a prescription-only medicine indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus particularly in overweight patients when diet and exercise alone have failed. In adults, Glucophage
may be given alone or with oral antidiabetic agents, or with insulin. In children from 10 years old and adolescents, Glucophage
may be given alone or with insulin. A reduction of diabetic complications has been shown in overweight type 2 diabetic adult patients treated with Glucophage
as first-line therapy after diet failure.
The most commonly reported side effects with Glucophage are gastro-intestinal disturbances that may occur during treatment initiation and resolve spontaneously in most cases; metallic taste, mild erythema, decrease of vitamin B12 absorption and lactic acidosis may also occur. Glucophage is contraindicated in patients with renal disease or renal dysfunction.

Handling the switch from breastfeeding to formula without feeling tremendously guilty?
I exclusively breastfed my baby for the first 8 1/2 weeks. My difficulties with bf included inverted nipples, nipple shield, improper latch, thrush and now blisters on my nipples (from pumping). Per my doctors orders, I need to take a bf holiday (pump and dump) for a week to clear up the thrush. With the blisters from the pumping, I am about to call it quits rather than just a holiday. My husband is incredibly supportive, but I'm feeling so guilty about thinking of stopping. If there is anyone with suggestions or support either way (continue/stop bf) I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

If you are feeling guilty, don't quit, just pump and dump and revisit it and see how it goes. I always say to give bfing a minimum of 12 weeks before making a major decision to quit because babies grow so much in the first 12 weeks that it could be an issue of their mouth needing to grow large enough to have a successful latch. Not only that, if you quit and change your mind, relactating is a much bigger challenge to deal with. What if your baby doesn't take formula well? Hang in there, your body is designed to do this, think and be positive and your outcome will be more positive. You can do it! A little break might be all you need, stay strong.posted 12/02/2012 by Mrs Benner 987

COLEVILLE, Calif. (AP) -- Hundreds of firefighters are being called in to battle a wildfire burning in Northern California's Sierras near the Nevada state line.
The fire is being fanned by winds of up to 65 miles-an-hour and tripled in size Tuesday night to more than 600 acres.
Dozens of families have been evacuated from the area, including from a Marine Corps training base north of Coleville. The Red Cross has set up an evacuation center at the Topaz Lake Lodge in Nevada.
High winds grounded airtankers and helicopters much of Tuesday.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Alabama volleyball team wrapped of the Southeastern Conference weekend with a 3-0 (23-25, 22-25, 24-26) loss to the Georgia Bulldogs on Sunday afternoon from Foster Auditorium. With the loss, the Crimson Tide falls to 14-9 overall and 3-8 in SEC play. Georgia improves to 12-8, 6-4 in conference play.
In the closely contested match, Alabama hit .331, but struggled on the defensive end as the Bulldogs finished the match with a .427 mark. Alabama did have more kills, 53-48, but UA also committed more errors (13-7) than the Bulldogs. The Tide was also out-dug 47-40 and the Bulldogs also had more blocks than the Tide at 6-1.

Laura Steiner added 13 kills and Andrea McQuaid had nine kills with a .474 hitting mark from the right side.

In the first set, Alabama opened a 19-14 lead, but led the set slip away, as Georgia went on an 11-4 run to close the frame for a 1-0 lead. With the score tied at 23-23, Georgia's Kayla Kehoe had a solo block against Steiner, and then a kill by Northcutt put the set away for the Bulldogs.
The Tide held a 20-19 lead in the second set, but again let the set slip away. With the score tied 22-22, Georgia got kills by Northcutt and Briana Bahr, then a solo block by Bahr gave the Bulldogs a 25-22 win in the set to take a 2-0 lead in the match.
In the third set, Alabama once again held a late lead, 23-22, only to see the Bulldogs rally to score four of the final five points for a 26-24 victory and complete the sweep of the Tide. With the loss to Georgia, Alabama dropped both matches to the Bulldogs this season.

Video: Hip hop baby loves this Kid Cudi tune
Another day, another cute baby video here on Newslite. Today it's the turn of Chevelle, the world's littlest hip hop fan.
At the start of the clip, Chevelle gazes around in a slightly dazed state, as though she's just woken up, and to be honest she doesn't appear too happy.
But her apparent grumpiness doesn't last too long, as soon as her dad puts on the Kid Cudi hip-hop tune Cleveland Is The Reason on, she sparks into life.
Breaking out the hip hop gangsta moves Chevelle waves her arms around as her impressed father exclaims "That's my boo!," and "She's going to be a STAR!"
If there's a better baby dancer out there, we're yet to see them… and if you have got the video proof, we want that YouTube link.

Love love love Dolfin suits, great for practice. Was a bit tight though, the straps dig into my shoulders.

Fit: Feels too small
Great suit
My daughter always asks for a new practice suit. While we were trying to get away from the Ugglies designs she used for years she fell in love with the green/blue design of this suit. I still rate the suit as 5 stars, despite two little issues right of the bat. When the suit arrived, she noticed that the suit is actually a bit darker than shown (blues are deeper) and it fits tighter than her Ugglies. also by Dolfin. She still put a brave face and practiced in this suit, noticing that it got more comfortable at the end... Now - if she continues to grow more rapidly than the wear and tear of the suit, we will regret not returning it... We have few Ugglies lasting for 6-8 months, when other suits give out within a month… My daughter is 10 (~86lb) size 28 in Ugglies… perhaps 30 in this Chloroban…

Torture occupies the odd position of being universally illegal and widely practiced. Despite many studies showing its inefficacy, more than half of the world's nations systematically use torture, and medical personnel have a long history of involvement with torture. Derived from the Latin word for "twist," torture conveys the technique of bending a victim's body. The torsion applied by medieval racks or the "stress positions" at Abu Ghraib epitomizes the origin of the word. However, torture is a larger act than the application of batons to a person's feet or wires to his genitals. Bioethical concerns with torture must take account of its empirical and social and dimensions, as well as its corporal nature.
Torture has been illegal since the Enlightenment, and the horrors of World War II brought illicit torture to public consciousness and censure. Torture was condemned in the 1948 United Nations' "Universal Declaration of Human Rights," the Geneva Conventions, the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, the United Nations' "International Covenant on Civil And Political Rights," and countless more specialized regional groups, such as the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
In ancient Greece, using torture when interrogating slaves was common. Romans extended the practice to freemen. Torture acquired its present meaning of pain inflicted by officials about 800 years ago when the Church or governments applied "the torture" to extract testimony. Shakespeare is credited with first using "torture" as a verb in Henry VI. However, it is likely that he simply recorded colloquial usage.
Renaissance physicians were assigned legal roles in interrogational torture. The German Constitutio Criminalis Carolina of 1532 required a physician to certify that a person was not incapable of giving testimony by virtue of being blind, mute, or insane, and that he or she could survive a planned regimen of torture. By confirming pregnancies, midwives afforded a temporary exemption from torture for women. Such medical and midwifery certificates were used throughout Europe until torture became illegal during the eighteenth century. As long as torture was legal or ecclesiastically licit, "torture physicians" were not stigmatized, secretive, or coerced.
Torture became illegal during the Enlightenment, when the public accepted that it was barbaric, subject to abuse, and an unreliable way to obtain evidence. The most influential compilation of arguments against torture was in a 1764 book, On Crimes and Punishment, by Italian prison reformer Cesare Beccaria. The English jurist William Blackstone scorned torture, writing, "It seems astonishing [to be] . . . rating a man's virtue by the hardiness of his constitution, and his guilt by the sensibility of his nerves."
Nonetheless, torture—and medical involvement in it—persisted. World revulsion at medical collaboration with torture was ignited by revelations of the actions of Nazi physicians at death camps. In 1946 and 1947, 20 physicians were indicted, tried, and mostly convicted at Nuremberg for war crimes and crimes against humanity pertaining to their complicity with mass-murder and sadistic experiments on prisoners. After the war, the World Medical Association passed the Declaration of Geneva, the 1956 "Regulations in Time of Armed Conflict," and finally the 1975 Declaration of Tokyo, formally called "Guidelines for Medical Doctors Concerning Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment in Relation to Detention and Imprisonment." The Declaration of Tokyo explicitly condemned any medical role in torture and in cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment. In 1977, the United Nations passed the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions, which specifically bars medical complicity in torture or mistreatment of prisoners. In 1982, it passed "Principles of Medical Ethics Relevant to the Role of Health Personnel, Particularly Physicians, in the Protection of Prisoners and Detainees Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment." Since then, countless medical societies have passed various medical codes against torture.
Despite medical association codes and the resistance of very brave clinicians, many more clinicians are complicit with torture than treat its victims or fight these kinds of human rights abuses. Nearly half of torture survivors report seeing clinicians monitoring their mistreatment. Physicians have been accomplices with torture in Asia, Europe, Africa, and South America. Recent attention has focused on active and passive medical complicity with torture in United States' military prisons at Guantanamo Bay, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Physician-torturers do not have a unique psychological profile. Some split their prison selves from their civil personae. Some Nazi, Serbian, and Soviet physicians who were leaders in abusing prisoners seemed to be political enthusiasts, but most are just doing their job.
Prison medical staff who collaborate with torturers play several roles. They devise methods of torture that will not leave marks or that inflict severe suffering without killing. Extending the nontherapeutic use of medical knowledge, military physicians and behavioral scientists study how to use psychoactive, hallucinogenic, or caustic drugs or sensory deprivation to cause pain, anxiety, disorientation, or regression. They certify prisoners as fit for torture. They monitor torture to assess when the abuse can be increased without causing death, or decreased to avoid killing the prisoner. In some cases, they experiment on prisoners for national security purposes. Finally, to protect torturers from accountability, physicians have failed to record signs of torture on medical reports and death certificates.
It is important to note that the very presence of a physician during torture compounds the victim's suffering by emphasizing that even the assumed humanity of medicine.
Given the prevalence of torture, it is not surprising that its proponents go beyond those who are officials in torturing governments. The arguments of "antiabolitionist" bioethicists, including Fritz Allhoff, Michael Gross, and Charles Krauthammer, along with other scholars such as Alan Dershowitz and Michael Levin (see Resource box for further reading), align closely with the policies of torturing governments. Both ignore empirical evidence unequivocally showing that torture doesn't work:
Furthermore, antiabolitionists, along with government policies supporting torture, reduce the moral and legal rationale for torture to a narrow case framework that ignores the societal implications of legalized torture. Sometimes called the "ticking time bomb" argument, it is central to the antiabolitionist position. However, there are numerous critiques of it:
By contrast, the implausibility of the argument raises credible moral challenges, such as:
Twentieth century torture has always spread far beyond ticking time bomb scenarios to the abuse of many innocent or ignorant persons. Societies that torture arm a real time bomb. Bioethicists should distinguish the instrumental purpose of torture—interrogation—from its social function. Torture is most often used against civil society. In this use, it is aimed against leaders in the press, religion, education, unions, student groups, and opposition political movements. Even where torture is not aimed to suppress civil society, as in Iraq, it destroys the political and moral credibility of an authority that claims to want to build civil society.
Medical ethics is a form of social capital in civil society. Medical authorities who have spoken out against these practices in torturing societies have become highly vulnerable to being abused. Such was the case of physicians in the Chilean and Turkish Medical Associations who protested torture, as well as Dr. Anatoly Koryagin, a psychiatrist in the former Soviet Union who protested the arbitrary commitment and forced medication of dissidents. Antiabolitionists heighten the danger to colleagues in countries that practice torture. Appeals to laws against torture have been used by governments and groups like Amnesty International to protect friends of civil society and prisoners of war. The practice of torture erodes the foundation for such appeals anywhere.

Pharmacy benefit managers or PBMs control an important part of the healthcare system. These companies work with insurance companies to manage the pharmaceutical component of the healthcare benefits. There are three large competitors in the space: Medco Health Solutions (NYSE:MHS), Express Scripts (NYSE:ESRX) and Caremark. Other companies, like SXC Health Solutions (Nasdaq:SXCI) offer PBM services but also a full suite of healthcare-technology solutions geared toward the pharmacological side of healthcare. There are also some smaller or niche PBMs that focus on a particular area of the business. The economics of the PBM business improve when they have a larger percent of scripts delivered by mail and written for generic versions rather than branded versions of the drugs.
IN PICTURES: 4 More Can't-Miss Health Deductions
The push to get customers to order drugs via mail is beneficial to both the PBM (and thus the insurance company) and the customer, as the cost of a three-month supply is typically equal to or cheaper than the cost of a two-month supply from the traditional store front drug store. Similarly, the use of the generic version of a medication saves both the PBM and the customer on the overall cost. So when customers order the generic version of drugs via mail, the profitability for PBMs and the savings for customers is greatest. Another area of high profits for PBMs is with specialty drugs - generally considered injectable drugs. This area has very high profit margins for the companies but also requires more specialization.
Blockbuster Generics Are Coming
The top-selling drug at approximately $12 billion worldwide is the cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor, manufactured by Pfizer (NYSE:PFE). Lipitor is scheduled to lose patent protection this year. Sales of a generic version of Lipitor should add significant profit to the PBMs bottom lines. Other popular drugs are also losing patent protection between now and 2014. These include Plavix, with about $10 billion in worldwide sales and Zyprexa, with over $2 billion in worldwide sales, among others.
The Stocks
Medco is trading near its 52-week high of $65 and at a ttm P/E of 20-times, this stock looks ripe. However, its expected 20% growth rate may not be appreciating the full effect of the blockbuster generics coming to the market. Similarly, Express Scripts, trading near its 52-week high of $58, has a ttm P/E of over 29-times. ESRX, with the positive impact from the integration of Wellpoint's (NYSE:WLP) PBM, has a higher expected growth rate of close to 29%. SXC paints the same picture - at its 52-week high and with a ttm P/E that far exceeds its bigger peers, or 48-times, although this company trades somewhat like a technology company.
While these stocks look like they've discounted the potential impact from the upcoming generic launches of many blockbuster drugs, the true impact may be far greater, particularly if the PBMs can switch customers to mail and to the generic versions at a faster rate. The actual growth rates can far exceed the expected and these stocks will look cheap and far from fully valued.

Russell and Beckie Forsyth have been married over thirty years and have two sons from previous marriages. From these sons, they share four grandchildren and families all over Texas and the United States. So a big part of his life has been involved in raising a family, therefore Russell believes that he is your average American citizen.
Russell is a carpenter by trade and has been doing remodeling and repairs for the past thirty years. In 2005, Russell and Beckie's company completed a two year historic restoration in the Central Austin area that won the Merit Award for Restoration that was given by the Heritage Society of Austin. The award was a crowning achievement for his life long love for old houses.
Russell has always been interested in music and is an accomplished singer songwriter. His main instrument was the guitar until the late eighties when Beckie conspired with a friend to borrow Russell's twelve string guitar, only to return it on his birthday as a Mandocello. An instrument maker converted the instrument. The mandocello is the original bass sound instrument that compliments the mandolin. It has been referred to as the "instrument of the angels" like the harp. This provides a unique sound and format that Russell uses to present his music. His first CD was released in 2005 and is titled "A Prayer for You". His second CD just been released, "One Thing", music dedicated to the power of love.
In April 2006, Russell attended a certification program for the purpose of self healing. On that weekend, Russell went from award winning Contractor to an ANGEL THERAPY PRACTITIONER®. Then in February 2007, Russell returned to California for another certification in the area of Mediumship.
Since the April event, Russell has invented a crystal healing bed, written one book, Mariposa, and has another started, is holding various workshops, has been invited to do speaking engagements as well as working on his start up practice for Angel therapy and Mediumship.
Russell has now embraced his role as a healer and is excited to offer his services in this new area of his life. If there was a mission statement for Russell and Beckie, it would be ease suffering, bring joy and create beauty.

McDonald's Dollar Menu to disappear soon
Posted By Claes Bell On 10/30/2013 @ 2:30 pm In Personal Finance | 10 Comments
If you're the type who has a $1-a-day McDonald's habit, prepare to be disappointed.
McDonald's "Dollar Menu" will suddenly disappear starting Nov. 4 (no word yet on whether the Hamburglar is involved). In its place will be "Dollar Menu & More" with higher prices on some old Dollar Menu favorites, as well as some more expensive items in the mix. Prices will transition from a uniform $1 to a range between $1 and $5, according to Ad Age [3].
The restaurant chain joins Wendy's, which eliminated its dollar menu in January. In a way, the death of the Dollar Menu was inevitable. Inflation always grinds on, and food prices have risen faster than the general rate of inflation since the financial crisis, much to the chagrin of American families [4].
Keeping prices pegged at $1 when the price of raw ingredients like beef and flour continue to rise was eventually going to squeeze the franchisees who own and operate McDonald's restaurants hard enough to force a change.
That's bad news for those who have turn to McDonald's [5] as a way to conveniently contain food costs, but it's also an opportunity to revisit the way you're making and consuming food. If the lunch you used to get at McDonald's for $3 now costs $5, it may make more sense financially — and health-wise — to pack your own lunch at home.
Looking at food prices on grocery delivery site Peapod, I was able to put together a delicious and reasonably healthy lunch for $2.60 a day, and that was with prices drawn from costly New York City ZIP code 10007. I opted for top-quality deli meat and not the gross prepackaged stuff, so you could probably go much lower if you wanted to, while still avoiding the 620 calories and 30 grams of fat that a McDouble from the soon-to-be-defunct McDonald's Dollar Menu and a small fries will cost you.
What do you think? Would higher prices at McDonald's make you reconsider visiting regularly? Are you a brown-bagger or an eating-out-for-lunch type?

CNTs bridge gaps to improve transparent flexible graphene electrodes
Graphene, layers of carbon of monatomic thickness, has high conductivity, mechanical strength and flexibility, which makes it a useful material for plastic electronics. Heeyeop Chae's group at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), Korea, has developed a new process to obtain high-quality graphene using microwave irradiated expansion. The method is a solution process, which is facile, inexpensive and potentially suits large-scale production. When graphite intercalation compounds are irradiated in a microwave oven, molecular interactions result in uniform heating throughout the sample within a short processing time and bring enhanced expansion with high graphene yield.
Transparent electrodes made of graphene by a solution process have the potential to be applied in electronics at low cost. However, when a thin film is fabricated with microscale graphene sheets, unconnected boundaries can occur between flakes, which results in high sheet resistances.
To enhance the conductivity of the film, the group uses carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to bridge the gaps, as shown in the conceptual diagram above. High-performance conductive films having a resistance of 181 Ωsq–1 and a transmittance of 82.2% were fabricated after chemical treatment and doping.
The fabrication of flexible optical electronic devices such as OLEDs and solar cells is ongoing in Heeyeop Chae's group. "We are keen to develop this novel electrode material for organic and flexible electronic devices and further results will be published soon," Heeyeop Chae told nanotechweb.org.
More details can be found in the journal Nanotechnology.

How fair is Britain?
Wednesday 13 October 2010
EHRC review highlights the gap between the government's vision for equality and reality
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) this week published its first triennial review, 'How fair is Britain?' Every three years, the EHRC is required to report to parliament on the progress that society is making in the areas of equality, human rights and good relations.
'How fair is Britain?' exposes gaps between the government's vision for people with a learning disability, and the day-to-day reality. For example, the conviction rate for racially or religiously aggravated, transphobic or homophobic hate crimes are rising. However, the conviction rate for disability hate crime fell by 1% between 2007/08 and 2008/09.
Mencap's chief executive, Mark Goldring, said that the figures are worrying, especially since the number of disability hate crime cases that reach court are already low, compared to other incidents of hate crime.
"A lack of understanding of learning disability by authorities has meant disabled hate crime cases are not being given the same priority as other incidents of hate crime," he said.
The review also shows that just 27% of people with a life-long illness or disability have confidence in the criminal justice system meeting the needs of the victim.
The EHRC's review also highlights the inequalities in employment opportunities for people with a learning disability. While around half of all disabled people have paid employment, less than 7% of people with a learning disability have a job.
"Stigma and prejudice remain one of the biggest barriers to employment for people with a learning disability," said Mark Goldring. "The government needs to actively engage with employers in order to ensure that people with a learning disability are given a fair chance in the workplace."
