PatientsLikeMe (www.patientslikeme.com) ("Site") is a sharing web site. Our goal is to provide a platform for patients who want to share their health information to create collective knowledge about disease, health, and treatments. We know our success in achieving this goal depends on a shared belief in our Openness philosophy. Being open about one's health is not for everyone, and we strive, with full transparency, to outline the benefits and risks of being part of this sharing site, including those related to privacy.
This Privacy Policy outlines the type of information PatientsLikeMe collects from individuals who have registered to join PatientsLikeMe ("Members") and how it is shared with other third parties, including, but not limited to, pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, non-profits, and research institutions ("Partners").
We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time, and without prior notice, by posting an amended Privacy Policy and terms on this website. We encourage Members to review this policy periodically for any updates.
What kind of information we collect
Shared Data
Some of the information that Members provide about themselves may be shared with the PatientsLikeMe community, Partners, and others ("Shared Data"). Examples of Shared Data that Members may submit at the Site, including through their health profile ("My profile"), may include:
- Biographical information, e.g. photograph, biography, gender, age, location (city, state and country), general notes;
- Condition/disease information, e.g. diagnosis date, first symptom, family history;
- Treatment information, e.g. treatment start dates, stop dates, dosages, side effects, treatment evaluations;
- Symptom information, e.g. severity, duration;
- Primary and secondary outcome scores over time, e.g. ALSFRS-R, MSRS, PDRS, FVC, PFRS, Mood Map, Quality of life, weight, InstantMe;
- Sensor information, e.g. personal activity trackers;
- Laboratory results and biomarkers, e.g. CD-4 count, viral load, creatinine, voice features, images;
- Genetic information, e.g. information on individual genes and/or entire genetic scans;
- Individual and aggregated survey responses;
- Information shared via free text fields, e.g. the forum, treatment evaluations, surveys, annotations, journals, feeds, adverse event reports; and
- Connections to other people on the Site, e.g. invited care team member, mentors, feeds, subscriptions.
In the course of using the Site, Members may share information that could be used to reasonably identify them ("Personal Information"), including name, photograph, and email address. When a Member chooses to share Personal Information via a free text field (e.g. forum, treatment evaluations, annotations, journals, feeds and adverse event reports) and photos or images, the information shall be treated as Shared Data.
Restricted Data
Some of the information that Members enter into certain fields when registering to use or using the Site will not be shared ("Restricted Data"). The type of Restricted Data that Members may submit at the Site may include:
- Name, as collected as part of registration or in a Member's Account Information;
- Email address, as collected and verified as part of registration or in a Member's Account Information;
- Password, as collected as part of registration or in a Member's Account Information;
- Mailing address, as collected via email, forms, or private message as part of Member programs such as t-shirt giveaways and PatientsLikeMeInMotion™;
- Date of birth, as collected in My Profile; and
- Private messages.
When a Member enters Personal Information, including name and email address, as part of registering to use PatientsLikeMe, that Personal Information is treated as Restricted Data.
A cookie is a small data file that often includes an anonymous, unique token, which is sent to your browser from a website's computers and may be stored on your computer's hard drive. Two types of cookies are required to use the Site:
- Session Cookies are temporary cookies that remain only until you log out of the website or exit your web browser. Session Cookies do not store any Personal Information, only a unique visitor ID number that may be used to ensure Members are properly authenticated and can view site information.
- Persistent Cookies remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer, even after you leave the Site. Persistent Cookies also do not store any Personal Information. Persistent Cookies store preferences that should persist from visit to visit, like "Remember Me," and a unique token to enable us to understand how Members use the Site ("Site Usage").
How your data is used
Members should expect that every piece of information they submit (even if it is not currently displayed), except for Restricted Data, may be shared with the community, other patients, and Partners. Members are encouraged to share health information but should consider that the more information that is entered, the more likely it is that a Member could be located or identified.
There are instances where both Shared Data and Restricted Data, including Personal Information, may be used and disclosed including, but not limited to, the following:
- PatientsLikeMe uses Shared Data, Restricted Data, and Site Usage internally, as needed, for research, for maintenance and operation of the Site, and to create the best possible tools and functionality for patients.
- PatientsLikeMe may use a Member's data in the case of an emergency or other circumstance that we determine requires a member of the management team to directly contact the Member.
- PatientsLikeMe may share or disclose a Member's data where required by law or to comply with legal process.
- In the event PatientsLikeMe goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another organization, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, the Shared Data and Restricted Data, including Personal Information, might be among the assets transferred. Members will be notified via this Site of any such change in ownership or control of Personal Information.
How Shared Data is Used
Shared Data is viewable via My Profile and through aggregated reports that are made available to other PatientsLikeMe Members. In some instances, this Shared Data is also viewable to those not registered to join PatientsLikeMe ("Non-members"). We report publicly Shared Data in aggregate, such as the number of patients on a particular treatment or the number of patients experiencing a particular symptom (see public Treatment and Symptom Reports). If a Member chooses to designate My Profile as "Public" (see Privacy Settings below), their Shared Data can also be viewed by Non-members and linked with aggregated reports.
In addition to serving the individual needs of our Members, PatientsLikeMe and its Partners are interested in better understanding the patient experience and improving treatment options and health outcomes for everyone. For example, we may look at questions such as, "Do certain treatments work better for some types of people versus others?" PatientsLikeMe provides Shared Data, in individual and aggregate format, to Partners and other third parties for use in scientific research and market research. When selling this information, PatientsLikeMe removes Members' Restricted Data to reduce the likelihood of re-identification prior to sharing information with Partners.
PatientsLikeMe also provides a voluntary opt-in service to allow Partners to directly communicate with Members through our system.
PatientsLikeMe may also periodically ask Members to complete short surveys about their experiences (including questions about products and services). Survey responses are analyzed, combined with Members' Shared Data and shared with and/or sold to Partners. Member participation in these surveys is not required, and refusal to do so will not impact a Member's experience on the Site.
PatientsLikeMe may also report individual adverse event and drug safety information to the FDA, CDC, and/or other regulatory bodies (U.S. and international) as well as directly to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. PatientsLikeMe does not provide Restricted Data to such regulatory bodies, although we reserve the right to contact Members for follow-up at the request of agencies or Partners. The information PatientsLikeMe reports includes, but is not limited to, all of the information about the Member and/or free text or images on the forums or evaluations, which may include Shared Data. In addition, certain areas within our Site are provided with the support of Partners. These Partners may have adverse event reporting requirements that relate to regulated products that are used by Members of our community, and PatientsLikeMe assists such Partners with reporting adverse events to regulatory agencies.
PatientsLikeMe, like most Internet communities, is a public forum, and Members acknowledge and accept that any information shared through free text or images might be connected to Members' Shared Data (which may be shared with, sold to, or displayed for others). For example, if a Member puts his or her name (or other Personal Information) into a free text field like the biography, forum, journals or annotations, the Member should know this information may be included in what is shared with, displayed for, or sold to Partners.
How Restricted Data is Used
Restricted Data is not automatically shared with, sold to, or displayed for other Members or Partners. Specific instances where Restricted Data may be used include, but are not limited to, the following:
- If we have a member's permission, their e-mail address will be used to send them a variety of notifications, including study invitations, newsletters and private message notifications. A member may change this setting at signup, on their account page or by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email they receive from PLM;
- If a Member provides a date of birth, the Member's current age will be viewable via My Profile;
- If a Member registers with, or is switched to, an official doctor and research account, the Member's full name and affiliation will be viewable via My Profile;
- If a Member chooses the Public privacy setting (see below), PatientsLikeMe and others may use public profiles in reports, conference presentations, media mentions, etc.;
- If a Member agrees to participate in a media interview (as arranged by PatientsLikeMe), PatientsLikeMe will share the contact information the Member provides (i.e. name, email, telephone) with the reporter for the purpose of conducting an interview;
- If a Member OPTS IN to a public registry (e.g. the PatientsLikeMe ALS public registry), PatientsLikeMe will display the Member's name and some Shared Data and/or Restricted Data as part of this registry (which is viewable by anyone on the Internet);
- If a Member explicitly opts in to have their Restricted Data shared with a Partner, PatientsLikeMe will share the information as instructed by the Member (e.g. co-registration with a non-profit);
- If a Member makes a request, PatientsLikeMe may use Restricted Data, including sharing the Member's Restricted Data with software/service vendors, for the purpose of fulfilling the request. Examples include requesting to receive the company newsletter via email, requesting an email response from the PatientsLikeMe support team, and requesting a t-shirt be mailed to the Member's residence.
Privacy settings
There are two privacy levels a Member may choose for participation at PatientsLikeMe:
- Visible: Only PatientsLikeMe Members can see My Profile and user name, and can contact you through PatientsLikeMe;
- Public: Non-members and Members can see My Profile and user name, but only PatientsLikeMe Members can contact you through PatientsLikeMe.
Members may change their privacy level at any time. Public profiles may be indexed or stored by Internet search engines (e.g. Google) or other independent sites, which means a Member's Shared Data, including any Personal Information shared, may come up in the search results by anyone on the Internet, even after switching privacy levels.
Because the value of PatientsLikeMe is in sharing one's experiences to help others, we hope that Members feel comfortable enough to make their profiles as public as possible.
Other security issues
PatientsLikeMe cannot guarantee the identity of any other Members with whom a Member may interact in the course of using the Site or who may have access to a Member's Shared Data. Additionally, we cannot guarantee the authenticity of any data that Members may provide about themselves.
Finally, Members should know that PatientsLikeMe takes commercially reasonable technical precautions to help keep Member data secure.
Risks and benefits
While our goal is to help patients improve health outcomes, there are no certain benefits to using this website. However, keeping track of personal well-being, treatments, and symptoms has been shown to be helpful in improving overall health.
There are also no known risks to using this website, but there is a possibility that users may feel uncomfortable sharing information online. It is possible that a Member could be identified using information shared on PatientsLikeMe (and/or in conjunction with other data sources). A Member could be discriminated against or experience repercussions as a result of the information shared. For example, it is possible that employers, insurance companies, or others may discriminate based on health information.
Members should understand that anyone can register at PatientsLikeMe and view the Shared Data in the system. If you are reading this Privacy Policy because you have access to the Personal Information of a Site participant, we urge you to recognize and fulfill your responsibility to protect the privacy of that person.
In using the Site, Members are free to skip any non-required questions or data fields that make them feel uncomfortable. Members are also free to stop using this service at any time. If a Member chooses to deactivate his/her account, PatientsLikeMe will not display or sell the data in that account as of the date of deactivation. However, the Member's data will remain in the system for auditing purposes, and research conducted prior to the deactivation of a Member's account will still include the Member's data.
Safe Harbor Compliance
PatientsLikeMe complies with the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework and the U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information from European Union member countries and Switzerland. PatientsLikeMe has certified that it adheres to the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles of notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data integrity, access, and enforcement. To learn more about the Safe Harbor program, and to view PatientsLikeMe's certification, please visit http://www.export.gov/safeharbor/

Chevrolet is preparing to unleash a V8-powered rear-wheel drive performance sedan next year and while the road car is still under wraps, GM has just revealed the Nascar version that will take to the tracks next year.
While the coupé bodyshell of the racer is far cry from what we'll see on the road car, its fake headlights, grille and taillights are a very good indication of what we'll see on the production SS.
This road car is also going to be something of a recycled job. It will be closely based on Australia's next-generation Holden Commodore, just like our current Chevrolet Lumina is, and it's not going to be new from the ground up.
Previous spy shots have already revealed that the new Holden uses the same body shell as the current model, although the front and rear ends have been redesigned.
The new sedan will use various aluminium components to cut its overall weight by about 30kg.
Thankfully it's not going the downsized engine route to achieve better economy. While engine details have yet to be released, Chevrolet has promised a 'small block' V8.
It's also unlikely that the South African Lumina replacement will differ much from the North American SS, which is set to make its first public appearance at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2013.

'Herd of Hope' for needy SD ranchers
On a converted dairy farm in western South Dakota, a helping hand from electric cooperatives is going a long way.
Since an early October storm wiped out nearly 22,000 cattle in the region, the farm has turned into a flurry of bovine activity as a staging ground for Heifers for South Dakota, an all-volunteer program that matches donations of livestock with needy ranchers.
"I don't think anybody had any idea of how big it was going to get," said Tom Brunner, who operates the facility and is a director at Butte Electric Co-op, Newell, and the South Dakota Rural Electric Association.
"At the start, we figured we'd just get a few head of cattle and go from there. The outpouring of support has just been remarkable," he said.
Almost 180 cattle and calves were at Brunner's feedlot as of mid-January. That's in addition to 714 cattle that have new homes, as Heifers for South Dakota's aims for 1,000 cattle to more than 100 families and individual ranchers.
Almost immediately after Winter Storm Atlas, Ty and Rosalie Linger, ranchers in Miles City, Mont., sprang into action. The storm hit during a weekend and, within about 72 hours, they decided to donate one of their best-bred heifers and start Heifers for South Dakota.
From that single seed, a field sprouted. A day later, they had pledges of two heifers and a filly. A week later, they were up to 150.
"It has been so cool to watch," Rosalie said. "People's faces just light up. God was definitely a huge part of this. We could not have done it on our own."
The Lingers' Heifers for South Dakota has expanded into support from close to a dozen states.
That's helped farmers like Jacob and Melanie Rausch in Hermosa, who were the first recipients of 23 bred cows and heifer calves. Jacob and Melanie lost 44 of their 58 cows, and his family farm lost about 190 cows and 80 calves.
"Ranching is not a career for us, it is our life and I enjoy being home and working at my husband's side every day," a grateful Melanie said after the donation.
So far, Heifers for South Dakota has sent about $1.25 million in livestock to strapped ranchers. Rosalie Linger said the drive anticipated delivering another 60 head of cattle during the weekend of Jan. 25.

Splendour of the Seas Cruise: Splendour of the Seas Cruise Review by LEESRE
Overall Member Rating
Splendour of the Seas Cruise
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Venice
This is a brief summary of our cruise on Splendour of the Seas on the above dates.
We arrived at Manchester airport and could not believe that there was no queue for the check in. After a very short while we were through to the departure lounge. That is when the trouble started. We were asked to go to the gate for our departure but when we arrived we were informed that due to technical reasons that we would not be taking off on time. After sitting at the gate for about half an hour we were informed that they could not rectify the problem and that we would be sent back to the lounge to await further announcements. We were then informed that they would be changing the aircraft and we would have to await the inbound aircraft. We eventually took off approx 2 hours late. I must say that the service we received from BMI on the aircraft was superb and they apologized for the lateness.
We arrived at More Venice International Airport and were soon on the coach to the port. Being as though we are Diamond Members of the Crown and Anchor, again no line for check in and we were soon on the Splendour of the Seas.
Day 1 Venice. July 11th 2008.
After our delay it soon got round to the sail away and this was very pleasant in quite beautiful sunshine. We had decided to have second seating dinner and Royal Caribbean had altered the times, they now have seatings at 630 pm, 7 pm, 830 pm and 9 o'clock. We had been assigned the 9 o'clock seating. We were shown to our table number 12 but unfortunately we had a table for 8 and we had 10 people. We were then asked if we minded to take another table which did not please us as the Head Waiter asked if we minded to change our seating time to 630 pm. After a word with the assistant Maitre'd we were allotted another table at the 9 o'clock seating. This table turned out to be a very good table. The show this evening was Los Pampas Gauchos whom we have seen before.
Day 2 Split Croatia. July 12th 2008.
We arrived in Split at around 9 am and this was a tender port. Again being Diamond members we were given number 1 tender tickets and we were soon on our tender and off to see the delights of Split. We have been there once before so decided that we would just have a walk around the town and the Palace. Again bright blue skies with temperatures forecast to be a high of 93 degrees. A wonderful port of call with lots to do and a tip is to buy your currency, the Kuna, when you arrive. They also take the remaining currency you may have when you leave. Notes only. Back to the ship for a leisurely afternoon sitting on the aft deck watching the tenders ply back and forth with the remaining passengers. This evening entertainment was a production show Dancin' Thru the Movies again an old production so we spent the time in the Concierge lounge talking to fellow passengers.
Day 3 Sea Day July 13th 2008.
A full day at sea on our way to Heraklion Greece. Today's temperature is reported to be as high a 95 degrees. We spent most of the day either in the solarium or sitting on the aft deck. We decided that being as though it was a sea day we would go into the restaurant for lunch. Royal Caribbean have recently changed the format for lunch. They now have a menu and a salad bar. We highly recommend the restaurant for lunch on sea days. Tonight's entertainment was Headliner Showtime with the Graffiti Classics. We would again highly recommend anyone seeing this show. It comprised of 4 people two girls and two boys who played strings with a difference. A very enjoyable show. Tonight was formal night and the Captain's Welcome Aboard Reception was held in the Atrium.
Day 4 Heraklion Greece. 14th July, 2008
Day 4 and our cruise is going far too fast. We docked in Heraklion at around 9 am and they claim that the temperatures today will hit 83 degrees. A little cooler than our last few days. Again we did our own thing and just had a walk around the town. Quite a pleasant place to walk around with an ancient fort in the port area. For anyone that loves herbs and spices this we found was the place to buy them. Tonight's show was a headliner show again this time a singer Edmundo Rahme.
Day 5 Kusadasi Turkey. 15th July, 2008.
Today we docked in Kusadasi Turkey at around 7 am. We arrived to see that there were also 4 other ships in port. Temperatures today were reported to be around 101 degrees and it certainly felt like it. Not a favourite port for us, there was too much hassle from the vendors. We went to see a Turkish baths which was very interesting. Then back to the ship for a little swim and some shade. Tonight's show was another headliner and this time it was Fallon Magic.
Day 6 Santorini Greece. 16th July, 2008
Today was our favourite port of call Santorini, unfortunately there were 4 other ships at anchor when we arrived. This made the port very very busy. We tendered at this port and this meant that the queue for the cable car was extremely long. It took approx 25 minutes to get on the cable car. Temperatures today were reported to be around 83 degrees. Once at the town of Fira the views were spectacular. The ways to get to the top are by donkey, walk up approx 600 steps or the cable car. Tonight's show was Ballroom Fever, yet another of the shows that we have seen and not one of our favourites. All in all a very good day.
Day 7 Corfu Greece. 17th July, 2008
We docked around 1230 pm after a very leisurely sail in the morning. Corfu was quite a way from the docks so you had to catch a bus to the dock gates and then another shuttle, which RCL charged 4 dollars, to get into town. A very interesting place with plenty to see and lots and lots of shops. Today's temperatures were 93 degrees and plenty of blue blue sky. In the evening a lovely sail away from the docks around a series of islands. Tonight's headliner show was Backbeat Beatles. If you liked the Beatles then you would have loved this show, standing room only in the Theatre.
Day 8 At Sea 18th July, 2008
Today a very pleasant day at sea with temperatures of 86 degrees. Tonight's show was Luis Dalton another headliner show.
Day 9 Venice 19th July, 2008
All things have to come to an end and this certainly was a very good cruise. When we arrived in Venice we were told that the Grand Canal had to be closed due to a boat festival. Therefore we had to dock in the container port and be tendered off the ship to the Cruise Piers. Royal Caribbean did an excellent job in this, we sailed up the Grand Canal in small launches . What and end to a cruise.
Once at the airport a quick check in and all too soon we were back in Manchester after a very good flight with BMI.
Overall as I said a very good cruise. The staff, especially our waiters Ajay and Jose, were exceptional. Also the Assistant Maitre'd, Gopar. The ship, even though it is 12 years old, is in good condition. Only a few minor things that needed attention. Unfortunately there were a few chair hogs. Some taking 4 chairs for 2 people, 2 in the shade and two in the sun, but you cannot blame the cruise line for this. Less

In a blog that's part travel journal and part recipe book, Amber Share and Kevin Lynch have a passion for food, wine and photography, in no particular order.
They are a well-oiled team of chef/photographer and sommelier working together to create Native Food and Wine.
They combined their 30 years expertise in cooking, oenology and cultural history to create this food, wine and travel web site.
What inspires them most?
"The way that communities and cultures preserve their heritage, understand their land and meet their needs both for their survival and enjoyment," Amber says.
"To study this more closely, we have set off on a gastronomic and cultural tour of the globe to research and record how people have historically and currently produce what they eat and drink."
Phew! Sounds like a ton of work to me, but they pull it off extremely well.
The site is a feast for the eyes as well as being a well-designed and thoroughly researched blog.
You can find great stuff like the story of the Barossa Valley vineyards and learn all about the rare breeds of bees on Kangaroo Island.

Upton Response to Latest Keystone XL Delay
WASHINGTON, DC – House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) today released the following statement in response to the State Department's announcement that the national interest determination period for the Keystone XL pipeline has been put on hold:
"Let me guess. It's Good Friday afternoon and the Obama administration again announces more delays and bad news. Once again, in this so-called 'year of action,' the Obama administration has hit the pause button on jobs and affordable energy. All Keystone XL requires is a simple 'yes' or 'no,' but after over 2000 days, the administration is still incapable of making a decision, putting politics ahead of jobs - not exactly a profile in courage.
"By the day, international developments and unrest, from Ukraine to Nigeria to Venezuela, are putting the spotlight on energy security and the need for a stable North American energy supply. And rising energy prices here at home are putting a strain on household budgets, particularly for the country's most vulnerable. Now more than ever, we are in desperate need of leadership and conviction. Punting on this decision is not the solution America wants or needs.
"The facts are clear that Keystone XL is in the national interest, but this administration is going to extraordinary lengths to block the landmark project. A 'yes' on Keystone is long overdue. The House has done its part in passing legislation to approve this jobs and energy project. Now that the administration has put this project on hold indefinitely, the Senate must act to approve Keystone now."

The Baltimore Alternative: Carnival Pride Cruise Review by rafinmd
Overall Member Rating
The Baltimore Alternative
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Baltimore
Hotel Info:
Pre-cruise:I stayed at the Rodeway Inn on St. Paul Street. While adequate it was somewhat run down and there are probably better options for the same or just a bit more money.
Ship: At 88,500 tons and somewhat over 2,000 passengers the ship to me is big but is small to medium size in today's market. Built in 2002 the ship feels quite modern. The decor is a bit dark but I soon got used to it. One thing I thought was lacking was a forward looking observation lounge.
Service: Good but not great. The waiters seem to break for a dance most every night. While this did not seriously detract from the quality of services, this was for me a negative. Once would be fine but several days More was just too many.
Port & Shore Excursions: I'm not really a fan of the Caribbean and the Bahamas, and for me the ports were not great. My highlight was Kennedy Space Center and it was a very nice day but something that could just as well have been done on a land trip. Shore excursions lacked the personal service touch I prefer but were in general well run. For me, the primary attractive port was the embarkation port. As a Maryland, travel (especially in winter) without having to worry about cancelled flights and the like is a big plus.
Summary: Carnival has often been referred to as the Walmart of cruising. I think Southwest would be a better analogy, with basic, limited service but much of what they do done well. For me, the Prides primary drawback is the limited itineraries, with only a grand total of 5 ports visited in a year on 2 itineraries.
Travel To Port of Embarkation: Very easy. I could drive to the port in 20-30 minutes but have generally chosen mass transit. My options are a bit limited for a weekend departure but I connected from Howard Transit through BWI to the Baltimore light rail, and used the free Charm City Circulator on Sunday to Fort Avenue with about a half mile walk to the pier. Using senior rates I paid a total of $1.65, including an MTA day pass.
Stateroom: I had originally booked an inside room but took an upsell in the final week to a verandah. The room was about average sized and more than adequate for me. It was pretty well laid out and well equipped with a fridge and ample storage although it could have used a bit more drawer space. I was one deck below and about 5 cabins back from the bridge with cabins both above and below me. The room was quiet and everything worked well. .
Dining: The Noremandie Dining Room sits aft on decks 2 (fixed) and 3 (anytime). It was open for lunch on sea days. Food and service were both good but not great. The Lido buffet on deck 9 was well laid out and the food was generally good. I did have some pancakes that were past their prime but that was the only slip up. David's Steakhouse had excellent food and a stunning location.
Children's Clubs: While school was in session there were still a number of children on the ship. I seldom saw them while at sea, and have to assume they were occupied and engaged with the activities for them.
Entertainment:The Carnival Pride Dancers had 3 shows although there were some problems the week I was on board. The first show was Vroom! and the male lead singer took ill between the early and late shows, leaving all the vocals to the female singer. The second Wonderful World showing was cancelled when someone became ill or injured between shows. Jazzin was the only show that came off as planned for us on early dinner seating. While the lead singers were certainly pleasant, I did not think they were the same caliber of others I have seen. The dancers were very good. There was one juggler who I found nothing special and several shows at the Punchliner Comedy Club each day. I saw 2 of the comedians and enjoyed them.
Disembarkation: Disembarkation was well run but a bit difficult with the 9am arrival in port leaving everybody ready to get off ths ship quickly. I found it annoying to be expected out of my room a half hour before we arrived in port. Disembarkation started about 9:45 for those doing self disembarkation and 10:45 for those whose luggage was taken off for them. Once off the ship the line for immigration ran very quickly and there is no need to go back to customs. I was out the door about 20 minutes after my number was called on the ship. Less

PASADENA - When William "Billy" Cottrell hops on a bus and returns to an Arizona federal prison to teach physics and cosmology classes to prisoners soon, he will do so without a jury ever having heard evidence about his Asperger's syndrome.
Described as an exceptionally talented young physicist, the former Caltech graduate student was diagnosed with Asperberger's, a high-functioning form of autism, during his 2004 trial on seven counts of arson and one count of conspiracy in the vandalizing and firebombing of more than 130 vehicles in 2003.
But Judge R. Gary Klausner ruled that his Asperger's could not be introduced at trial. That was a mistake, the 95h Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in September, tossing out Cottrell's arson convictions and leaving only the conspiracy count.
Last week, a disappointed Cottrell was resentenced to the original 100-month term for the conspiracy conviction, after prosecutors declined to retry the arson counts.
One reason federal officials declined was because they did not want Asperger's syndrome established as a viable legal defense, his attorneys Mike Mayock and Marvin Rudnick believe.
"This was the first Asperger's case that has come down the pike," Mayock said. "It could introduce Asperger's as something that could be recognized as a defense, which would complicate the criminal justice system."
Prosecutors argued there was no need to re-try the arson counts. Instead, the government pressed for the same sentence Cottrell was already serving for his conspiracy conviction - 100 months. And they got it.
Klausner sent Cottrell back to prison Monday, where he won't be eligible for release for at least another 18 months.
Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office, declined to comment on why his office chose not to re-try Cottrell for the arson counts. He reiterated that the sentence Cottrell received was effectively the same as the one he was serving before his arson convictions were overturned.
Martin Levine, a USC professor of law and psychiatry, agreed it would have made little sense for the government to re-try Cottrell, since he faced the same sentence on the conspiracy count anyway.
"The prosecutor has very little reason to spend the time and resources on having a re-trial," he said.
But Levine believes the 9th Circuit decision itself created a legal precedent when it ruled Klausner should have allowed jurors to know of Cottrell's Asperber's.
Levine said testimony about a defendant's Asperger's syndrome will now be allowed in future cases, regardless of the government's decision not to retry Cottrell.
Whether or not an Asperger's defense can succeed remains to be seen, however, he said.
Asperger's syndrome is a neurobiological disorder that affects a person's social and communication skills.
People with Asperger's tend to be socially dysfunctional and often lack empathy, according to Bruce Hirsch, a Pasadena clinical psychologist who treats Asperger's patients.
Asperger's patients also often exhibit above-average intelligence and language development and can develop obsessive behavior.
Some evidence suggests that Asperger's, like autism, is genetic because it tends to run in families, though the exact cause of the disorder is unknown.
The syndrome is more common in males and affects less than .01 percent of the population, according to the Web site of Dr. R. Kaan Ozbayrak, an expert in the disorder.
Mayock and Rudnick argued that Cottrell's Asperger's, prevented him from understanding his involvement in the attacks.
Mayock said Cottrell only intended to vandalize the vehicles - most of them SUVs at dealerships in the San Gabriel Valley - and tried to stop the two other suspects in the case after realizing what they were doing.
When they reassured him they would stop, he believed them, Mayock said.
"He didn't know that they were going to continue on," Mayock said. "They gave him a couple of reassurances. He had no idea this was going to happen."
Because of his Asperger's, Cottrell did not understand that he was being misled until it was too late to stop them, Mayock said.
"We're not saying and never would suggest that Billy wasn't competent or capable of reaching conclusions if he had enough time," he said. "But he didn't have enough time. He was under pressure."
Bruce Hirsch, a Pasadena clinical psychologist who treats Asperger's patients, said the symptoms of the condition could have affected Cottrell's ability to comprehend the situation.
People with Asperger's are often unable to tell when they are being lied to, he said.
"What you're really talking about is a social naivete and, yes, people with Asperger's can be very socially naive," said Hirsch. "They are so bound to the truth that the concept of lying doesn't even exist in their mind. Somehow the social reasoning of people with Asperger's is very concrete, very black and white, and they don't get that people tell lies."
But Dr. Amy Keller, a Pasadena psychoanalyst and marriage and family therapist, said that Mayock's and Rudnick's Asperger's theory does not take into account the "stubborn" sense of morality held by most Asperger's patients.
"I find that, after working with a lot of Asperger's patients, that they are so stubborn," said Keller. "They're not that easily influenced. If anything, they're very clear about right and wrong."

Are we witnessing the start of a special year for Phil Mickelson?
Mickelson has always employed an Arnold Palmer go-for-broke style on the course, and that's a big reason why it's so much fun to watch the guy when he tees it up. It's because unlike most guys on tour, you honestly don't know what you're going to get from Phil from round-to-round.
Until now. Now, I don't know what the heck is going on at the moment, but I think we need to send out an APB and start a search for Mr. Thrill, because the guy who showed up this week at Riviera for the Northern Trust Open isn't the same guy who successfully hit a backwards flop shot and made birdie at the 2010 Masters from the pine straw.
Forget the incredible 8-under 64 Mickelson fired during the final round of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am for a second, the craziest thing about Lefty's recent isn't his red-hot play; it's actually how damn consistent the guy is at the moment.
Get this: Before a bogey on the par-3 16th hole during Thursday's opening round at Riviera, Mickelson had gone a mind-blowing 49 holes without a bogey. WITHOUT a bogey. I know some guys on tour like Luke Donald and Matt Kuchar can go extended periods of time without putting a square on the card, but not Phil.
After putting together one of the best final rounds we've seen in some time, Mickelson is at it again this week, posting a 5-under 66 at Riviera to take a one-shot lead after the first round. And with only one bogey on the card, we're starting to see a trend forming for Mr. Mickelson: he's starting to get scary consistent.
Now, all this talk about Mickelson being Mr. Consistent could change tomorrow, but at the moment, he's showing some flashes of brilliance we've seen before in his career. It's hard to tell if those flashes of brilliance will equal another major or two this year, but the way Phil's striking the ball and putting at the moment, you have to like his chance to have a big year.
A big year with a couple of majors? Who knows for sure. But the way he's playing at the moment, the "Year of the Dragon" could very well turn into the "Year of the Mickelson".

Mickleson didn't make an eagle from the pine straw. Awesome shot, but missed the putt and settled for birdie.

Indeed, that was too bad. The shot was fantastic!

Um, Mr. Anonymous, you misread the article, the author quite clearly stated it was a birdie. No mention of an eagle!

CHICAGO – After nine seasons in Japan and three years in the minor leagues, Cubs starter Tsuyoshi Wada finally picked up that elusive first major league victory.
Wada (1-1) left little doubt to Monday night's outcome, pitching seven strong innings as the Chicago Cubs defeated the Colorado Rockies 4-1.
"I have so many people I want thank for pushing me to hang in there," said Wada. "I thought to myself that it probably would be over for me if I did poorly today. If I get another chance, I want to produce results. I finally won; this is the start for me."
In only his third career start in the majors, Wada cut through the Colorado lineup, allowing one run and five hits. It was a far cry from his last outing, when he lasted just four innings and gave up five runs in a loss to San Diego.
"I'm so happy for him," catcher John Baker said about Wada's first win. "It's great, when you're having a tough season like we're having, to have little victories like that."
The sole blemish on Wada's performance came in the sixth when the Rockies got three hits, capped by Nolan Arenado's RBI single.
"He executed pitches, got some big outs when he needed to and got out of traffic that developed late," manager Rick Renteria said. "He did a nice job and gave us some innings."
The 33-year-old Wada won 107 games over nine seasons in Japan. He signed a two-year deal with the Baltimore Orioles two seasons ago but injured his elbow soon after joining the club and underwent undergo Tommy John surgery in May 2012. He signed with the Cubs in December 2013.
"It's the second time I pitched in Chicago, so it was a little more relaxed," Wada said. "I'm happy about this first win."
Braves 2, Padres 0
In Atlanta, Ervin Santana threw eight scoreless innings, Evan Gattis homered for the first time in more than a month and the Braves blanked San Diego.
Santana (10-6) allowed just five hits and matched his career high with 11 strikeouts. Craig Kimbrel struck out the side in the ninth for his 32nd save.
Marlins 7, Nationals 6
In Miami, Jeff Baker hit a two-out RBI single to cap a four-run rally in the ninth inning as Florida won its fifth straight.
The Marlins trailed 6-1 in the seventh and Washington's Rafael Soriano (2-1), who earned his 200th career save Sunday, took the mound in the ninth with a 6-3 lead and blew a save for the fourth time this season.
Mets 7, Phillies 1
In New York, Travis d'Arnaud went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer and Bartolo Colon made his second straight strong start for the Mets.
D'Arnaud hit one of three doubles for New York as they took a 4-0 lead in the first. Then the catcher's seventh home run of the season broke the game open in the fifth.
Pirates 5, Giants 0
In San Francisco, Vance Worley tossed a four-hitter for his first career shutout, and the Pirates pounded Madison Bumgarner early in a victory over the struggling Giants.
Diamondbacks 2, Reds 1 (15)
In Cincinnati, Nick Ahmed's RBI single with two outs in the 15th inning sent the Diamondbacks to a victory over the Reds and kept their franchise perfect when games go really long.
Arizona is 13-0 all-time in games of at least 15 innings.

Creating to-do lists for the day or week is always helpful in college when trying to juggle a busy schedule. Spring semester is already underway and no matter how many times you have prepared for a semester in college, there are some things you may forget to do or take care of. A busy schedule of running errands, meetings and review sessions on top of classes and maybe a job is very common for a college student. As a Fashionista/o, it's always important to look your best. Of course, lounge days are always acceptable, but it's also important to keep in mind that appearance counts.
For those Fashionistas who want to put together a nice and simple outfit for a busy day, we have some great ideas to give. This week's Fashionista exemplifies a suitable outfit for running errands on a busy day—it's great to make simplicity a key factor. Start off by picking out a pair of black leggings or dark blue skinny jeans. Choose a shoe that will not blend in with the color of the leggings or jeans. Next, search for a bright or neutral-colored blouse that's not too form-fitted and comes a little bit below your waist. Going for a sheer blouse like this Fashionista's will make your look trendy. Lastly, finish the look by adding a printed scarf or other accessory item. The floral-print scarf that this Fashionista is wearing is perfect for this specific outfit and makes for a nice contrast.
One Simple Change: It is always good to keep some comfortable shoes with you when running errands on a busy day. Throwing on some casual and comfortable flat shoes will still keep your outfit fashionable.

By now most of you who applied for Olympics tickets will know whether you have been successful or not. Stories coming out over the past week have focused on the lucky, and not so lucky.
Tim Fuell, from London, got the only tickets he bid for - four seats for the 100m final - despite one million applications for tickets for that event. One Money Box listener was not so lucky - Stuart, from Hitchin, bid for 37 sets of tickets at a maximum cost of £6,100. He ended up with one pair of tickets for trampolining.
But some people are still in limbo - through no fault of their own. As we have mentioned over the last couple of weeks, problems with the banks, VISA and the London Olympics ticket helpline are causing misery for some.
Chris Townsend, LOCOG director with responsibility for ticketing, talks to Paul Lewis.

Buyer beware
If a 17-year-old enters into a contract to buy goods online using a debit card, is that contract binding?
Paul Lewis speaks to Monica Jaimini from Which? Legal Services.

Unreasonable rate of return?
If you want to take no risk with the money you are saving up for a pension, you might be attracted to a fund called a deposit fund - imagining that it would grow at least like money in a savings account.
That is what Money Box listener Susanne Groom thought. She had about £40,000 to put into a pension fund which she hoped to use for her retirement fairly soon.
Her advisor guided her to the Aviva Deposit fund, saying it was one with which she would not make a fortune, but would not see her money fall in value. Then she got a statement...
We reveal how much interest she got on her investment in the programme.
We also hear from Malcolm McLean, of the pensions consultancy, Barnett Waddingham.

Is calculating risk as simple as ABC?
The Investment Management Association (IMA) has decided to reclassify funds operated by its members - in a bid to make it clearer what levels of risk investors are taking on.
Some Money Box listeners contacted the programme after seeing big falls in their funds after stock market volatility. Many thought that as the fund they had invested in was classified as 'cautious', it meant 'cautious', with less exposure to equities. But that was not the case.
So now, the IMA is going to name Aggressive, Balanced, and Cautious funds, simply A, B, and C. It will also create a less risky fund, D.
So will this really make a difference?
Richard Saunders, chief executive, Investment Management Association and Mark Dampier, head of Research, Hargreaves Lansdowne, debate the issue.
BBC Radio 4's Money Box is broadcast on Saturday at 1204 BST and repeated on Sunday at 2102 BST.

JERUSALEM (Nov. 19)
The first, but short lived snow of the season fell last Tuesday in northern Israel.
IDF soldiers posted on Mt. Hermon were prepared for the first few snowflakes that fell on them Tuesday morning, having already been equipped with heavy winter clothing and boots.
The soldiers were also comforted by electric blankets, which are new to their gear this year.
The snowfall however, was quite light. The little that fell melted immediately, and the precipitation turned into heavy rain later in the day.

A-League soccer club Melbourne Heart has been approached by international investors and sponsors keen to put money into the team, which is set to break even financially this season.
Heart chairman Peter Sidwell says the club is well positioned financially in its third season of operation and with good sponsorship deals and windfalls from transfer fees of players moving overseas, it will break even.
"That was the plan, in year three, and we will get there," Sidwell tells The Australian Financial Review. "It makes us one of the few, along with [cross-town] rivals Melbourne Victory, to be in that position."
The Heart turns over about $10 million annually, and has large sponsorship deals with the likes of
Sidwell brought on two new investors to the board in 2011, property financier Jimmy Goh and publisher Ghadir Razuki.
He says there is interest from a European company wanting to sponsor the club, with chief executive Scott Munn travelling to Europe last week for meetings.
Despite attracting smaller crowds that the Victory, Sidwell is confident in the Heart's future, saying it has established a strong community culture – it spends about $500,000 on community engagement projects annually, more than any other A-League club – and has an excellent reputation for developing young players.
Many of those have moved overseas for lucrative transfer fees, the latest being Aziz Behich who moved to Turkish club Bursaspor in late January for an estimated $500,000.
"It has been hard for us, our model, because you're talking about our top players going overseas even if they are young. But we have that reputation for getting players overseas and that helps us attract the best young talent. Hopefully, as the league evolves, we will be able to keep them for longer and when they do move it will only be to the top three or four leagues in the world."
Sidwell says the financial situation for A-League clubs should improve next season, the first year of a $200 million five-year broadcast deal with Fox Sports Australia and SBS, which will telecast a match every Friday night.
"Having a free-to-air presence will really boost the league. From there I see the sport going places in this country in the next few years. There have been tough times but we are starting to see some sunshine."
The Australian Financial Review

Predicting Days on Market: The Influence of Environmental and Home Attributes
This paper estimates the difference in the number of days a home will remain on the market based upon its environmental attributes. Using on-site inspections of 3088 home sites, the results, using two-stage least squares, show that time on market is reduced and price increased by a variety of green features such as trees, landscaping, open spaces and parks, while time on market is increased and/or price decreased by man-made obstructions such as power lines, roads near the home, train tracks, and apartments. This research finds home orientation to and not just the distance from roads has a significant impact on home price and time on market regardless of traffic volume. Apartments in view are found to significantly reduce home prices and increase time on market while cathedral ceilings increased home price. Homes in subdivisions were found to sell for higher prices and sell more quickly while the price of homes was not influenced by a hill obstructing the rear even though time on market was significantly increased.

Why Are You So Crabby?Jun 1st, 2012 | By Editorial Staff | Category: Geri Roskopf's Blog
My husband asked me why I was so crabby. His question kind of stopped me in my tracks. I think that when we are unhappy, help we have difficulty determining the source. It's easy to assume someone else is the source of our angst, information pills but maybe my problem is closer to home. They say the truth will set you free but I think that first, purchase it will really irritate you. My husband's comment had me muttering to myself, "Crabby, huh? Whatever."
I guess, though, my husband's statement really was an eye opener for me. After his comment, I realized a negative emotional wake is expensive. Family, friends, employees and customers pay the price.
His comment also brought back a Native American saying I once read:
"Where in your life did you become uncomfortable with the sweet territory of silence?"
I believe there are insights and emotions that can find you in no other way than through silence. If you're like me, it's hard to find time to just sit in silence, take some deep breaths and try to empty your mind of everything. My brain starts to wander, as I feel I should be "doing something" ¬— answering emails, returning phone calls, paying bills, etc.
Our lives change so quickly — an employee leaves … the competition is fierce … the economy goes upside down … new technology makes what you have obsolete … a family member passes away … someone always needing help with something. After my quiet reflection, I guess I just found myself going upside down with what was going on around me.
I also realized that my husband's observation and comment was actually a gift. I needed to confront and search why I was so crabby, find the problem and solve it. When I really concentrate on being still, underlying truths surface and I can point myself in the right direction and form a plan with some end-line goals.
I started the day with a quiet prayer and a good cup of coffee. I have done a few mental adjustments, stretched my arms to the ceiling, took a few deep breaths and put a smile on my face. Yep, attitude is everything.

Recycling Fun Facts
Aluminum Recycling Facts
- A used aluminum can is recycled and back on the grocery shelf as a new can, in as little as 60 days. That's closed loop recycling at its finest!
- Used aluminum beverage cans are the most recycled item in the U.S., but other types of aluminum, such as siding, gutters, car components, storm window frames, and lawn furniture can also be recycled.
- More aluminum goes into beverage cans than any other product.
- An aluminum can that is thrown away will still be a can 500 years from now! There is no limit to the amount of times aluminum can be recycled.
- We use over 80,000,000,000 aluminum soda cans every year.
Paper Recycling Facts
- To produce each week's Sunday newspapers, 500,000 trees must be cut down.
- If all our newspaper was recycled, we could save about 250,000,000 trees each year!
- If every American recycled just one-tenth of their newspapers, we would save about 25,000,000 trees a year.
- Americans use 85,000,000 tons of paper a year; about 680 pounds per person.
- The average household throws away 13,000 separate pieces of paper each year. Most is packaging and junk mail.
- The construction costs of a paper mill designed to use waste paper is 50 to 80% less than the cost of a mill using new pulp.
Plastic Recycling Facts
- Americans use 2,500,000 plastic bottles every hour! Most of them are thrown away!
- Plastic bags and other plastic garbage thrown into the ocean kill as many as 1,000,000 sea creatures every year!
- Recycling plastic saves twice as much energy as burning it in an incinerator.
- Americans throw away 25,000,000,000 Styrofoam coffee cups every year.
Glass Recycling Facts
- Every month, we throw out enough glass bottles and jars to fill up a giant skyscraper. All of these jars are recyclable!
- A modern glass bottle would take 4000 years or more to decompose -- and even longer if it's in the landfill.
Miscellaneous Recycling Facts
- An estimated 80,000,000 Hershey's Kisses are wrapped each day, using enough aluminum foil to cover over 50 acres of space -- that's almost 40 football fields. All that foil is recyclable, but not many people realize it.
- A single quart of motor oil, if disposed of improperly, can contaminate up to 2,000,000 gallons of fresh water.
- Motor oil never wears out, it just gets dirty. Oil can be recycled, re-refined and used again, reducing our reliance on imported oil.
- On average, each one of us produces 4.4 pounds of solid waste each day. This adds up to almost a ton of trash per person, per year.
- A typical family consumes 182 gallons of soda, 29 gallons of juice, 104 gallons of milk, and 26 gallons of bottled water a year. That's a lot of containers -- make sure they're recycled!
- The US population discards each year 16,000,000,000 diapers, 1,600,000,000 pens, 2,000,000,000 razor blades, 220,000,000 car tires, and enough aluminum to rebuild the US commercial air fleet four times over.
- Out of every $10 spent buying things; $1 (10%) goes for packaging that is thrown away. Packaging represents about 65% of household trash.

- Just as important as tailoring each cover letter for the position, so is tailoring it for the company you are applying to. You can do this by researching the company you are applying to. Keeping this company info will also be handy at interview time.
- Don't be fake.
- Don't mention negative aspects of yourself or your history.
- You can prepare a general cover letter, which must be edited for each specific job.
- It's a good idea to keep a photocopy/ record to help you remember what you wrote in the letter.
- At this early stage, the employer is only interested in what you can do for their Company, so keep that in mind when preparing your cover letter or job application letter.
