The Open Networking Lab was founded as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit to pursue our vision of what networking could be for the
public good.
Networks today are described too often as closed, proprietary, complex, operationally expensive, inflexible – in a nutshell, they impede innovation and progress rather than enabling them.
We have a vision of what networking could be through the promise of Software Defined Networking (SDN). With SDN, the control plane is separated from the data plane, the hardware innovation cycles are decoupled from the software innovation cycles. In an SDN-enabled world, Internet and Cloud innovation are able to accelerate innovation while significantly reducing the costs of building and operating networks.

After serving in World War I, William H. Lawrence, MD, and Maynard G. Bensley, MD, returned home to the United States to practice medicine in an era with significant technologic and medical advances.
Although group medical practices existed in various forms since the late 1800s and grew rapidly throughout the Mid-, far, and Southwest regions of the country, they were rare in the Eastern United States. The increasing scarcity of traditional family doctors who made house calls, advances in diagnosing and treating acute illness, and the emergence of novel drugs and technologies prompted the need for experts in an increasing variety of medical specialties. It was against this backdrop that Lawrence and Bensley founded the Diagnostic Group of Summit in October 1929.
Lawrence and Bensley organized their practice "…for the dual purpose of efficient care of the ambulatory sick and direct saving of finance." As pioneers in the group practice movement, the physicians realized that combining doctors from different specialties with the latest diagnostic options would be an efficient way to provide comprehensive care to a community, cultivate long-term patient relationships, and position medical professionals to provide optimal care for their patients.
To launch their practice, Drs. Lawrence and Bensley purchased a building in 1929 at 129 Summit Avenue. Between 1929 and 1940, the building was expanded to accommodate their ever-growing practice. In 1950, an additional building was constructed at 120 Summit Avenue.
Committed to fostering a close association between physicians, staff, and patients during the Group's early years, Drs. Lawrence and Bensley promoted an unconventional approach to medical practice that encouraged harmony and teamwork through the open discussion of ideas and opinions. The doctors' vision was to develop a practice "with a soul — one that would present a kindly haven where patients can be relieved of worries in an atmosphere as near that as made the old family doctor so beloved."
Eighty-years later and after changes in the Group's name, expanding locations, and with continually growing clinical and nonclinical staff and services, the original vision for Summit Medical Group has remained the cornerstone of its success. Its extraordinary original model of care has proven to be enduring, efficient, and ideal for delivering state-of-the-art, compassionate, and convenient care to patients throughout the New Jersey / New York metropolitan area.
Proud to carry out Dr. Lawrence's and Dr. Bensley's vision for health care, Summit Medical Group now has more than 350 board-certified practitioners in more than 74 medical specialties, which are located in Essex, Hudson, Morris, Somerset, and Union counties. A premier multispecialty group providing exceptional comprehensive primary and specialty care for patients in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area, SMG has treated more than a half million patients.

Highs and lows
For the past year – or years, or possibly lifetime – I've been feeling bleh. I've had trouble falling asleep, I haven't felt much joy or satisfaction, and the effort I require to start to work has been mountainous. I wouldn't get as much done as I wanted – or, often – anything done – and I'd beat myself up over that.
I've never been the cheeriest person, and this didn't feel so out of the ordinary. I'd have occasional down periods, but I'd never say I felt classically depressed and never felt even remotely inclined to self-harm.
This winter, I heard a radio campaign about depression and it felt like they were talking about me. I know I didn't used to be this way – OK, not so much this way.
I called my GP; I was overdue for a check-up anyway. Through Elvi's student status, we used to have good private health insurance that would pay for private clinical work and offered a drug plan. Things changed, though, and the latest student insurance plan doesn't cover the $600 cost for blood work at my GP's in-house clinic when I could go to a hospital and get it done for free with my provincial Medicare.
In January, I called my GP to book an appointment and got one that same month. When I mentioned that we didn't have the private insurance anymore, couldn't afford the $600, and would need a requisition form to get this done at a hospital, the receptionist said she had to move my appointment to August. She did say to make an appointment if I had an emergency, but I didn't think my suspected chronic low-grade depression was an emergency.
The rest of my family uses a family health clinic in a local hospital, but they were not taking on new patients. They referred me to another clinic and I got an appointment for a couple weeks in the future.
I saw this new doctor February 4. I had been hoping for a referral to a psychiatrist, but he was willing to prescribe an anti-depressant right then, and to take me on as a new patient. In an odd coincidence, he was born in Rehovot, Israel, within sight of the airfield (Aqir/Ekron/Tel Nof) that was 101 Squadron's first base.
So I've been on Cipralex for two weeks now. I suffered a few side effects immediately, not all of them bad. For example, the daily pills make me sleepy and I've taken them after supper, so I've been getting to bed at a more regular hour. They also seem to suppress my appetite; I enjoy my food as much as ever, but I just can't eat as much as I used to. Not bad, eh?
The pills are supposed to take three to four weeks to kick in, but I'm feeling pretty good today. I did a lot of smiling. Maybe I'm just having a good day.
When I opened the front door to take the kids to school, there was a skunk about a foot in front of it. I closed the door quickly, but nothing happened. The kids wanted to see the skunk, and it was extraordinarily cute, so I gently opened the door and peered around it. The skunk was sniffing the concrete where some garbage had spilled Sunday night. It was completely calm and ignoring us and it didn't smell in the least. The kids and I watched it decide there was no food here. It squaeked through the railing and waddled off on the snow. Score!
I took Child Three to a dermatologist for a red scaly rash on his hands. It turns out to be "winter hands", excessively dry skin brought on by winter air and too much washing. All he needs is some lotion. Score!
I went to the hospital to get my blood test after dropping Child Three at school. It's terribly hard to park on the street there and the lot costs $15. A spot opened up in front of me half a block from the entrance but the street sign said there was no parking Tuesdays 9:30 (the time at the time) and 10:30 so I drove on. It wasn't until I'd circled a few blocks that I realized that the parking regulations only kick in between March 1 and December 1. I beelined as much as possible for that first spot and it was still empty. Score!
My blood work required 12 hours of fasting. I'd eaten my last food at 10:59 p.m., having forgotten my plan to get the blood work done in the morning. I was confident there'd be some wait, but I figured 11 hours would be sufficient. I had my iPod and a book to help me spend the time. At 11:00 a.m. exactly, I was called in to have my blood drawn. Score!
I also learned this morning that the Suburban has plans to publish an article on our Novice B team tomorrow. Score! I'll try to get a copy, but the article may appear online.
I was miserable over the weekend, missing Elvi more than usual. It's not her domestic contributions I miss. I'm capable, and I kick into high gear when she's not around. I miss her friendship – and I'm jealous of the fun she seems to be having. But I feel good today, dwelling more on her return than her departure. Score!
I'm finally supposed to start working on my next airplane book, about B-17 bombers in the Israeli Air Force. Score! My producer loves the work I've done on that biopic. Score! Now, if only I could get to writing those instead of blogs.
3 Responses to "Highs and lows"
I was on Cipralex after being on Effexor for a while.
Effexor was decent, but instead of just taking away the lows, it also took away the highs. Which didn't help me much. And then gave me stomach cramps and vertigo around 6 months into it.
So I took a break, then got on Cipralex… and I think by month 3, I was able to reduce my dose (mostly through self-medicating, which, I know, is horrible), but I wanted to get off the damn pills.
It worked, though I'm willing to bed the will to get better had a great impact on the whole thing. I also worked really hard to change my outlook – feel fortunate about what I DID have and find joy in the little things (aka laugh a lot).
All in all, I think I succeeded, since I'm a much happier person now, and when I DO go through depressive spells, I'm able to take a step back and understand what's going on, and then mostly dismiss it by saying, "hey! I'm just being all depressed and all. It'll pass." And it does.
Conclusion? Good on you for taking the pills, but make sure you make them work for you by investing in your recovery plan.

I have just finished my Christmas stockings and I wanted to share this easy and fast pattern with everyone who wishes to make a really special gift to the loved ones.
What you need for 1 stocking:
– 1/2 yard of Christmas theme quilting weight cotton fabric for the exterior
– 1/2 yard batting material for structure
– 1/2 yard flannel fabric for lining
– FQ white fleece for the cuff
– thread, scissors, rotary cutter, sewing machine
– pattern (print out PDF pattern)
– 5" ribbon for the loop (optional, can be made of exterior fabric too)
STOCKING BODY: Print out the pattern and assemble it using the given instructions. Using the pattern cut out two pieces of exterior fabric, batting and lining fabric. For the exterior piece fold the fabric right sides together put the pattern on top, pin it if necessary and cut it out with your rotary cutter or trace it and cut it out with scissors.
Now you have 2 pieces of exterior fabric, 2 of the batting and 2 of the lining fabric. To assemble the stocking, sandwich two pieces of exterior fabric right sides together and one batting piece on each side as shown in the second picture below. To make sure the layers will stay in position pin in place and sew it around (leaving the top open) with 1/4 " seam allowance. Sew the lining layers together in the same way. Trim the excess fabric in the curves (toe, heal, ankle and top) to reduce bulk and turn it right side out and press.
STOCKING CUFF: Cut out one piece 16″x4″ exterior fabric and on piece 16″x5″ fleece. Sandwich them right sides together and sew them together lengthwise with 1/4 " seam allowance on one side. Open up and press and fold it again right sides together and sew it 1/4″ seam allowance as you can see in the picture above. Fold it and it's ready!!
ASSEMBLING: Insert the lining piece into the stocking body wrong side out and the insert the cuff and the loop (I made it using the exterior fabric, can be a matching ribbon too- 5″ long) into the top on the body piece. Pin and sew around carefully with 1/2″ seam allowance, make sure you sew all the layers.
Fold over the cuff and you have your very own handmade Christmas stocking.
I added applique initials to my stockings. I will write a tutorial on that soon:)
Enjoy it!
Happy Holidays!!

(Almost) Everyone knows about the housing crash that ruined many peoples' lives and help throw the country into an economic tailspin.
Lots of people are aware of the government's Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) and Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) that came from that financial ruin.
Few people have heard of the Hardest Hit Fund, which was for all intents and purposes a "bail-out" for the states that were…you guessed it!…the hardest hit by the housing crash.
I happened to stumble upon the site and said "what the fuck, I qualify so let's see what happens".
My Experience With The Housing Market Crash
I purchased my home at the end of '06 which apparently was pretty much the top of the market.
2 years later, I was laid off, and out of work for 9 months (yet I never missed a single payment of any kind to anyone)
Then when the market tanked half of my development went into receivership due to non-payment of mortgages or HOA dues, or abandonment and the valued took a nosedive so there was no chance of me being able to take advantage of "historically loooooow rates".
I got no assistance with my own mortgage using the original HAMP and HARP iterations, and you can read the story of how HARP 2.0, the revised HARP program helped me (barely) and that was a pain in the ass from beginning to end.
Still, I have yet to miss a payment or even make a late one, and I'm tired of being punished for being responsible damn it!
So, I decided to try this program and see if I can finally get some help considering I've been screwing myself by continuing to pay a mortgage on a property that isn't worth even 1/2 of what I owe, and being the good little boy I was raised to be and not simply walking away (thereby saving me tens of thousands in the process).
My Dealings With The Hardest Hit Fund
Monday September 29, 2014
This is the day I discovered the Florida's Hardest Hit website. After reading through all of the qualifications and benefits, I realized I may finally be able to get some relief for my (seriously) underwater condo.
I filled out the application online, then sent my advisor the entire support document package: bank statements, loan statement, last 60 days of pay stubs, copy of the deed, etc. I would later read that I didn't need to do all that until I was contacted when the application was approved (but I figured the whole process may be smoother if I get everything done quickly and as complete as possible).
Wednesday October 1, 2014
Ah, the day every person applying for anything dreads…the day of "More info Needed" subject lines in the old inbox.
So, I open it to discover that the advisor is asking for one more older pay stub, and copies of my social security card and drivers license. I kind of start panicking a bit as I'm very cautious with my personal information and wonder what the hell they would need the social security card and license for.
Then I realized that it doesn't really matter much, as I already provided that information in the application package, so a shitload of fear disappeared and I was able to breathe again.
Within a few minutes of sending the remaining info, I got an email with an underwriting authorization form to sign and return. Could it be that easy? Is it really possible to get through the process with minimal time and energy spent?
I seriously doubt it, but for now I'll just have to sit back and wait….
Thursday October 16, 2014
I hadn't heard anything in a while, and, truth be told, I was trying my best to not even think about it at all.
What I did do, for whatever reason, was log into my CreditKarma account just to see what was going on there when I noticed it…
There was a hard pull on my credit profile from October 7th.
After a little research, I discovered that the pull was made by a company that works with mortgage and car lease companies, so I was a little confused since I wasn't actually applying for a new loan with this program.
I sent an email to the agent handling my application, and after a while he got back to me saying that it was a routine check to make sure my mortgage was current.
Ok, no big deal, until….
He also said "Just received notification from underwriting wanting to know if you've received Hard Hit Funds in the past."
That really got my blood pressure up a little because, after 2 weeks of not hearing anything, the underwriting department all of a sudden just happens to make a request for information the same day I make an inquiry!?
Then they say that on the very same day my situation passes the examination and the package will be sent to my mortgage company?
I'm not so sure about all of that….
Wednesday October 22, 2014
So it has been almost a week since this "consumer advocate" or whatever the firm is called supposedly sent in my application to my mortgage company for approval.
What do I do?
Of course I call Chase to see if there has been any activity on my account.
And wouldn't you know it….there hasn't been any activity on my loan account since the last time I contacted them.
So, the second I get off the phone with Chase, I head right for my email and fire off a message saying:
Just out of curiosity, has the file actually been sent to Chase?
I ask because I found it odd that 2 weeks had passed since I submitted the last of the documentation and nothing was ever requested by your underwriting and then the day I make contact they have a question and send it out. This also led me to follow up with Chase since it has been almost a week and they have nothing on file regarding any action or contact on my loan account since the last time I dealt with them.
I'm sure you can see how this would be a concern to me or anyone else in my position.
We'll see how long it takes to reply and what kind of information is contained, but it's fair to say I'm starting to get just a tad bit annoyed with how this is all being handled………
Thursday October 23, 2014
Shortly after I got into the office this morning I received a response from the agent handling my application. Unfortunately, it wasn't what I was expecting:
Yes it was sent to lender as I previously mentioned. We still have not received approval as of yet. Your file is pending lender review
That was it, the entire response. No confirmation of the day it was sent, not mention of how or whether there was any proof of delivery.
Now, being an accountant, I get people bugging me all the time about whether we sent in their taxes or when their refund will come, but I'm able to give them peace of mind. I can send them an electronic transmittal verification, or an e-file acceptance notice so they can rest assured their documents were taken care of properly and when I claimed.
I figured at the very least I would be told "Sure, your package was sent to chase via [whatever delivery method] on this date", but I guess that may be asking for too much.
So I replied:
See, that's my problem…the lender has no record of any communication on my account after a week, which includes any documents sent on my behalf.
Then, I received a followup message:
You might not be speaking with the correct person and I have no idea what area it's sent for approval.
We've seen this before where homeowners try to get information from lender while it's pending review and most times if not all they are not being helped. You usually don't get information until they receive funding
I was not very happy with this, considering someone should know what's going on at that office, and if this person't doesn't then they should find out from someone who does know so that they can make me more comfortable about the situation and doing business with their firm.
Thursday October 30, 2014
So I finally received word from the agency handling my application congratulating me on the approval of my application!
They told me that once the final document package was received and subsequently forwarded to the state, the state would fund it within a week. I was also told that the mortgage lenders recast the loans during this process–applying the funds to the principal and then re-amortizing the loan thereby lowering the monthly payments as opposed to accelerating the loan payoff schedule–which is what I was hoping for.
So I rushed to print out all of the docs, sign them, get them witnessed, and literally ran over to the management office to have it all notarized so I could FedEx it back to the agent for final processing.
I wanted to make sure that the agent had it in their hands on Friday morning so that it wouldn't be delayed any further by the weekend.
Of course after I caught my breath following all of my rushing to get the envelope in the FedEx box as quickly as I possibly could, I called Chase to find out exactly if the recasting information was true.
Well, come to find out, it was indeed true.
In fact, the recast was approved on October 24th, and I was further informed that a letter goes out detailing the payment info within 7-10 days, and that I should call back if I don't hear anything by the end of that time frame, since there was nothing else noted on my account, and the underwriter assigned to my file was on her first day of vacation today.
Thursday November 6, 2014
After waiting for 2 weeks without receiving any information about the status of my loan, I decided to call Chase again.
I felt that I had given them the requisite amount of time to send me the notices I was told I would receive, so I was interested in finding out what was going on.
Again, the person who was assigned to my account in underwriting was not at her desk, although this time she was in the office.
The representative said that she would try to contact the underwriter for more information and call me back to let me know what the status was…..
Monday November 10, 2014
Well, as you can probably tell, I didn't receive any phone calls from Chase since I was told that a representative would call me back.
So, I wrote a (fairly) scathing message to the mortgage division via its private message system:
I've called several times regarding the status of my Florida's Hardest Hit Fund acceptance and subsequent mortgage recasting. I have been told several times that the casting was approved and done. I was also told that it was done on October 24th and a letter should go out 7-10 days after that to notify me of what is to happen.
Unfortunately, I have yet to receive any kind of correspondence, and each time I call, the person who was doing the paperwork was either on her first day of vacation or in the office but not at her desk . The last time, on Thursday November 6, I was told that I would receive a call back either when she got back to her desk or when someone was able to get some information for me.
I'm starting to get a bit frustrated at the lack of communication and information I have received during this time. No one seems to be able to connect me to the person handling my paperwork. No one seems to be able to give me information as tow what my payments are going to be or when this will take effect. No one is able to tell me why I haven't received any kind of notification.
I would appreciate a call, and soon , as to what is going on with my account and why I'm having so much trouble getting the assistance I seek.
Thank you very much for you help I hope .
I did receive a call back within a couple of hours this time.
This time, I was given different information.
I was told that back on October 24th, the recast was indeed approved, but it wasn't yet calculated because they have to wait until the funds are received and applied to the loan.
She had said that the funds were actually received on Friday November 7, and generally takes about 5 days at most.
She also said that she was going to personally take care of it and make sure that it received priority service, and she'd keep an eye on the account to make sure it was taken care of.
I was also assured that I would get a call and an email when the documents were finalized, and I could plan on hearing something by the 5th day at the latest, but it shouldn't even take that long with the prioritized status.
Friday November 14, 2014
Well, guess what?
I never received any communication from Chase, so I called yet again around 3:00pm.
This time, at least there was activity, and this representative told me that the recast had been completed at 1:30, not even 2 hours prior to my call.
But, unlike all of the other times I had called, this time I was able to confirm that the process had been completed,
In fact, I was given the FedEx tracking number that the last of the documents to be signed were sent in, and you know what…
It actually was done when someone said it was!!!!
It's scheduled to be delivered on Monday November 17, so we'll see how long it now takes to wrap everything up and see the new payments reflected on my statement.

President Obama says that if Congress cannot approve a full budget by the time the sequester is scheduled to go into effect on March 1, then it should at least pass a small package of spending cuts and tax reforms to buy some time. This would delay the economically damaging effects of the sequester for a few more months, until Congress finds a way to replace these cuts with a "smarter solution," the president says at the White House. The Budget Control Act of 2011 contained a provision requiring $1.2 trillion in automatic, across-the-board spending cuts over 10 years that would cut both defense and nondefense spending equally. This provision, known as the sequester, is set to take effect March 1 unless Congress acts.

Jets host Blues with Scheifele back in fold
NHL Headlines
- Hot Isles blank Caps in Trotz's return
- Habs win 4th straight, end Jackets' run
- Bennett leads surging Flames over Wings
- Kessel lifts Penguins over Coyotes in OT
- Panthers top Leafs in Trocheck's return
WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Mark Scheifele is glad the Winnipeg Jets have a lot of depth but he'd much prefer to be playing.
After six long weeks, the 24-year-old will finally get his wish Friday night at Bell MTS Place when the Jets host the St. Louis Blues. It will be his first time in the lineup since injuring his shoulder against the Edmonton Oilers on Dec. 27.
On his flanks will be wingers Blake Wheeler -- who filled in at center on the top line in his absence -- and sniper Patrik Laine.
"It was awesome to be back and get in some game-like reps," Scheifele told The Winnipeg Free Press. "Obviously, being with Wheels feels really good. You can practice as much as you want, but nothing's like a real game."
Scheifele had 38 points, including 15 goals, in 38 games prior to falling awkwardly into the boards against the Oilers.
When told his charges were 11-2-3 in Scheifele's absence, coach Paul Maurice quipped in his Thursday media briefing, "Yep, we're trading him."
While the Jets are happy to welcome back their No. 1 center, the beds are quickly filling up in sick bay.
Goaltender Michael Hutchinson was diagnosed with a concussion Wednesday after taking a deflected shot in the mask during Tuesday's game-day skate. He joins fellow goalie Steve Mason, who is also out with a concussion, as well as forwards Matt Hendricks, Adam Lowry, Brandon Tanev and Shawn Matthias, and defenseman Jacob Trouba. Eric Comrie has been recalled from the Manitoba Moose to back up Connor Hellebuyck in the Jets net.
The Blues come to town on the heels of a 6-1 vicotry at home over the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night. Centre Brayden Schenn set the tone by fighting Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog right off the opening face-off.
"I thought we'd been a little bit flat at home lately," Schenn told a media scrum afterwards. "You can try and start different ways, try to be physical early or offensive early. I don't do it often but it's part of the game and it's good to get one every once in a while."
Despite going 7-3-0 in their last 10 games, the Blues have failed to gain a point on the Jets and remain in third place in the Central Division with 69 points in 56 games. The Jets have 73 points in 54 games and are tied for first with Nashville, which has two games in hand.
The Blues' challenge will be to knock off the NHL's best home team as the Jets are 20-3-2 at Bell MTS Place and have gone nearly two months since their last regulation loss there. Two of those losses were in October.
In addition to bumping Wheeler back to his usual spot on right wing, Scheifele's return will trigger at least one more change to Maurice's lineup card. Rookie Jack Roslovic was dropped from the top line down to the fourth in practice Thursday, where he skated with Nic Petan and Marko Dano, a trio that could easily be the fastest and most skilled fourth line in the NHL.

Okay, I've got a little news for each of my three categories today. I'm pressed for time, so I'm going to combine them all in one post; maybe I'll hack up MT later to make trifurcated posting easier. (Yes, trifurcated is a word. I didn't make that up.)
Knitting: I called the Yarn Barn yesterday and asked them what the ETA was on the Cotton Fleese was that I ordered last week. I asked for one skein of Lapis for Enjay's hat and the several skeins called for in the pattern for the Monk's Travel Satchel. They told me that it would take about two to three weeks to get everyting in.
Then, about ten minutes later, I got an excited call from the lady I'd just spoken to telling me that they'd just received an unexpected shipment which included the Lapis! Yippee! I'm going to start a brick-stitched cap in it as soon as I've got a spare half-hour.
Excercise: I stashed some shorts and a t-shirt in my file cabinet last week so that I'd have exercise clothes on hand if I found my schedule was really pressed for time and I wanted to go for a ride at lunch. Guess what? I'm really pressed for time. I'm going to try and get in a half-hour this afternoon.
Violin: I called up Krazy Kat music and made a cash offer for the beautiful old violin that I've been lusting after. With any luck, the owner (a guy named Eugene who apparently never stops moving) will hear of it and respond to me sometime this week. I'm offering $125 less than they're asking. Hopefully that's not too insulting and they'll go for it.
And that's it in a nutshell. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to figure out what new switches are not automatically being assigned VLANs when they're created in widgetmaster. Oh, what a charmed and sexy life I lead.

Comment on rise in violent crime
Commenting on the release of crime figures today by Police Scotland, which show a 5% rise in violent crime, Includem's Chief Executive Angela Morgan said:
"The continued fall in crime across Scotland is to be welcomed. However, the rise in violent crime, particularly in Glasgow, highlights the continued need for programmes designed to reduce offending and reoffending.
"Our success in working with Police Scotland to prevent young people from carrying out serious acts of violence and to deal with the underlying causes of offending behaviour shows that diversion from criminality is possible – but only with focused intervention.
"We look forward to continuing to work with Police Scotland and the Scottish Government to find new ways to bring down the level of violent offending in Glasgow and Scotland".
Includem works to reduce violent offending in Glasgow alongside Police Scotland. In the latest independent evaluation of the programme violent offending for those involved was found to have fallen by more than half. The other headlines are:
- Estimated total incidence of crime per young person fell in the region of 50% on average in the six months after involvement with Includem than in the six months prior
- The total number of injuries involving attendance at accident and emergency decreased by 38% after involvement in the programme
- The social and economic costs of violent offending fell from £10,259 per offender prior to involvement with IMPACT to just £122 in the six months after being on the programme.

#LUCKYFABB RECAP - Eva Chen, Eva Mendes, Kate Bosworth & Top BloggersSaturday, November 09, 2013
So it may seem like all I did at LuckyFabb was grab goodies and hang out with the Barbie team, but it was a conference after all and I actually did participate in panels and breakout sessions. Day one was held at the Times Building and kicked off with a Q&A session with Lucky Magazine Editor-in-Chief Eva Chen by Lucky Magazine Editor-at-Large Lauren Sherman. I was a little late to this one so I snuck into a seat in the back of the auditorium. One of the comments I remembered the most from this session with Eva was "It pays to be nice. No one wants to hang out with the mean girls." It's so true! I don't like cliques and I don't like hating on people. I like to be nice and accepting of all. Life is too short for all of that.
Panel 2 was titled ROI: Turning Your Readers Into Your Advocates with panelists Gabi Gregg (GabiFresh), Erica Domesek (P.S. I Made This), and Alisa Gould-Simon (Co-founder of Pose.com) moderated my Luckymag.com Digital Editor Verena von Pfetten.
After the morning panels we had a break, so I took this time to visit the brands in the VIP Gifting Suite! You can read my post on the gifting suite HERE.
After the break the gorgeous Eva Mendes sat down for a Style Conversation with Eva Chen. I mean, I always knew Eva Mendes was pretty, but she's super gorgeous in person and seems so humble! She would definitely be a fun gal-pal. She talked about her personal style, her love of vintage and thrift shopping, and her inspiration behind her collection for New York & Company before answering questions from the audience.
|At one point, Eva even got up and borrowed a blogger's scarf from the audience to show us how she loves to wear scarves in her hair as an accessory. She knocked it out of the park, styling it without a mirror
|After Eva, we heard from this app company called Magisto. I've been obsessed with Magisto every since this presentation, and I've made tons of videos from my unused footage on my phone! It's super cool! If you aren't already using it, you are missing out. Lunch was provided for us on day one, and I just loved the presentation of the non-Asian food in Asian-inspired food boxes. Super cute!
|I also spent the second half of lunch investigating the brands outside of the gifting suite! There were so many! From Charming Charling, to Covet Fashion, to meeting Erica of PS. I Made This. I've always wanted to do more DIY, I just need to find the time! So I bought her book and she was on hand to sign it for me. She kept trying to hand me the sharpie, and I was like, oh no that's yours and she was like, "No keep it!". Finally I looked at the sharpie and it was monogrammed with PS I Made This! Ha, I get it!
|I also had to get a picture with Erica because we were both wearing fun headbands! She had on a pair of sparkly cat-ears and I was rockin' my BCBGMaxAzria wings!
|Bryanboy was up next rocking this cool sweater! I like his more tamed-down style better! He's one of the original fashion bloggers and an inspiration for a lot of us. He talked about how the world of blogging has changed, how he's a one-man show versus people like Chiara of The Blonde Salad who are like a team of ten. Eva asked him what are some things that bloggers are doing that you wish they would stop, and he was mentioned business cards! Lol. I thought that was interesting. I used my business cards for everything! Sorry Bryanboy! I'm going to keep doing that one! :-)
|I'm a big fan of Lindsey Calla (Saucy Glossie), and I'm a member of Rewardstyle, and I follow blogs on Bloglovin, so I was definitely interested in what these three had to say about what mistakes not to make. They had some really great advice for us! However, I must admit that I was little distracted by Mattias Swenson! Who knew he was so cute? And he had an amazing accent? Definitely distracted by him, Lindsey's shoes and Amber's whole outfit, especially the bcbg ear cuff! I chatted with Amber at the RewardStyle party in New York during New York Fashion Week.
So I definitely have a new crush! Mattias Swenson, co-founder of Bloglovin!
|This panel was lead by John Januzzi, Senior Digital Projects Editor, LuckyMag.com. If you are not following John on twitter you are missing out! He is so funny, and it was cool to see him in person. This panel was helpful, with all the social media sites out there nowadays which one should you use? The short answer it depends on your target audience and what they are using and your goals with social media engagement.
|And last but not least, closing out day one, was the Style Conversation with Kate Bosworth. She came out in the very popular Sweatshirt trend for Fall right now. The top and the skirt are also apart of her new collection with Top Shop. She is recently married, and you can tell she was just glowing from ear to ear about her new life with her hubby. She talked about her personal style and traveling to London to work with the Top Shop team on her collaboration and also answered audience questions.

Personally~I have no wish to see "The Hunger Games" ! Considering the level of Bullying, school shootings & the escalation of teen violence in America....I think the "Premise" of this movie is counterproductive to our society. Knowing how Teen & Young adults tend to "Glorify" things the see in the Movies & TV....I find this type of entertainment is like pouring salt in an open wound & not expecting a reaction. We need more "Heart Warming & educational" , movies that "teach" tolerance & other positive messages(Such as Geek Charming). The fact that "The Hunger Games" had record breaking Box Office Opening.......makes one question many things about the "condition" & "morality" of our society.While Transformers had some violence...it's overall message was about working together to save mankind...and most of all ~{Love thy Neighbor..even if that Neighbor is an Alien life form!}. Transformers was/is a Good VS. Evil..........& Good Prevails. This is what We need more of..don't you think ???? I Do !!!!!!! ♥
My Bottom Line is: We are so worried about Terrorist...yet look how many people have gone to see this movie! A movie which is the equivalent to Brainwashing our youth into becoming like the "Children Of The Corn". Do you think they kept it PG for the heck of it...NO NO NO!
I read on another blog how a Woman's child was brought to this movie a *GET THIS* field trip! How Wrong is that ??? She manage to go to..only to hear the kids screaming out loud things like, "KILL HIM!" & "SLASH HIS THROAT!".
When Will Americans See that the real terrorism is the Brainwashing Media like this.
Don't even get me started on the Sale of Bath Salts & "Fake Weed" at Gas Stations.
The drugs on our streets, gangs & guns, child exploitation, music that Promotes the Gangster Life.
You think the threat is from overseas...think again...it's here on every street corner & the Media.
You & your children buying products & services from any of those promoting these things~IS where it starts. You Have the power to stop it by ..stopping the cash flow..close your wallets to things that are causing the downfall of our society!

A new program aimed at helping people live happier and more active lives is being trialled by the Black Dog Institute in people with type 2 diabetes suffering from depression, in an effort to address the substantial personal and societal impact of the disease.
More than one million Australians have type 2 diabetes, however it is estimated there is another 500, 000 undiagnosed. Of those living with the condition, the onset of depression is far more likely compared to the general population with some research stating it is more than twice as common.
Experts agree that depression among people with type 2 diabetes is often "invisible", which is a problem because the relationship between the two is likely to be bidirectional -- with one worsening the other.
"Rates of depression are not only higher in people with type 2 diabetes, but a majority of those affected don't get help for their symptoms", Dr Janine Clarke, of Black Dog Institute told The Huffington Post Australia.
According to Clarke "not only does this worsen people's self care and quality of life, but it increases a person's risk of potentially fatal diabetes complications".
As Saturday marks World Diabetes Day, Clarke said that activity around finding a cure for type 2 diabetes - while obviously important -- needs to be balanced with attempts to assist people living with the disease, who may not benefit from a cure in their lifetime.
"We need to be doing things to help people better manage the emotional impact of the disease so that they can live happy, healthy and productive lives" Clarke said.
Clarke is optimistic that the findings of the research program will help inform decisions about the best way to provide emotional support to people with type 2 diabetes suffering depression.
The program is fully-automated, delivered online and offers real-time symptom monitoring and access to psychological therapy via 12 interactive online learning modules.
"There is no human support for the program", said Clarke.
"It is entirely automated, personalised and interactive."
The trial of the program is called SpringboarD and is funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council.
"The online tool provides people with skills and strategies to manage the specific problem areas that are causing a person trouble, for example stress, worry, and sleep. However the program is flexible in that users can choose the strategies they would like to learn and it is completely confidential", Clarke said.
Participants in the trial (people aged 18-75 with type 2 diabetes) will be allocated at random to use one of two online tools for up to three months. They will be able to use the tool wherever and whenever they want on their computer, iPad or mobile phone.
Clarke said the program has previously been shown to work in a community sample of people with mild to moderate depression, anxiety and stress.
According to Diabetes Australia, both type 1 and type 2 diabetes cost the Australian economy over $14.6 billion per year.
"It is estimated that a person with type 2 diabetes and depression will cost the economy up to four times as much as someone with type 2 diabetes alone," Clarke said.
While anti-depressant medication is used to treat depression in people with type 2 diabetes, studies have found psychological therapy has a more lasting benefit and fewer complications.
However, many people fail to get the help they need.
"There a number of reasons why help seeking for depression is low, including insufficient services, poor knowledge about treatment options, and cost. Online interventions are able to flexibly address many of these access issues", Clarke said.
If you need help in a crisis, call Lifeline on 13 11 14. For further information about depression contact beyondBlue on 1300224636 or talk to your GP, local health professional or someone you trust.

Federal officials are investigating a YouTube video that surfaced, showing a law enforcement officer grabbing what looks like a recording device from a woman's hands, throwing it to the ground, and kicking it.
Courtesy: YouTube Video
A spokesperson for the U.S. Marshals Central District of California identified the man to the Huffington Post as a U.S. Marshal, but did not release his name. According to the news site, the spokesperson stated:
"The U.S. Marshals Service is aware of video footage of an incident that took place Sunday in Los Angeles County involving a Deputy U.S. Marshal. The agency is currently reviewing the incident."
In the recording, three U.S. Marshals Service agents can be seen standing in front of a house in South Gate, California. The agency was reportedly investigating a biker gang meeting. The woman, allegedly a bystander, was filming the incident. A man in a bulletproof vest is seen grabbing her phone, smashing it to the ground, and finally kicking it.
The video, above, only lasts about 53 seconds and was recorded by an onlooker and uploaded to YouTube on April 19th in South Gate, California. Just a reminder to our vigilant viewers, it's important to know your rights: it's LEGAL to film a cop as long as you don't interfere with their duties.

EIGHT Great French Artists Help To Make 'A Church Unique In Christendom' By CARL HARTMA.V ASSY, France, (AP) — High in the Alps, almost literally in the shadow of Mont Blanc, some of this country's greatest modern painters have almost completed work on a church unique in Christendom. Henri Matisse. Georges Braque. Pierre Bonnard, Jean Lurcat, Fernand Leger, Georges Rouaull, Tacques Lipschit?, — the names read like a roster of the most sought-after arlists of our times, kmong them are at least one pro- Communist, a Cafholic, an atheist md a Jew. Most of them have rontributed their time and genius o decorating the Roman Catholic "hurch of Our Lady of All the traces. So far it has cost only 3.000,000 :rancs (510,000 at the current sole religious picture of his ca- CHURCH IN THE ALPS .-ate). Its style inspired by the mountain scenery, with the sloping roof reer, a portrait of the French mystic St. Francis de Sales.

It was open ed for worship in 1942, however. In charge are the Dominican monks known as "white fathers," whose sanatorium, with others in the neighborhood, furnish most of the parishioners. Bonnard, whose work was recently the subject of a show at New York's Museum of Modern Art, painted for this church the LIPSCHITZ is sculpting a Virgin Mary, for which there is a preliminary model in Xew York. The remarkable thing about it, to the ordinary observer, is that the face is entirely blank. The idea is that each worshipper may draw his own conception of the face. To shield the Virgin's alcove from the mountain cold, Lurcat has woven a huge tapestry which will enclose the choir on three sides. It is decorated with suns, moons, flowers and animals in the explosive style made familiar (o American art lovers by the collection of French tapestries that re cently toured (he United States. ! Just behind the great granite columns, over the main doorway, is Legers mosaic of the church's patron — Our Lady of All the Graces — in brilliant gold, white and black. * * * THE TABERNACLE. where bread and wine for Holy Com munion are kept, has been orna mented by Braque. Braque likes to paint still life — loaves of bread, fish, bottles of wine — in .dark browns* and greens. In his painting for the tabernacle he has used the fish, as a symbol for Christ. Rouault. whose fervently Catholic paintings resemble stained glass, has provided some colored windows. He has done a St. Veronica and a Descent from the Cross in a new technique. Matisse, at 79 the grand old man of French art. has not yet sent in his contribution, but is expected to do so soon. THE EVENING INDEPENDENT. MASSILLON. OHIO The crown still owns more than 90 per cent of Canada's forest areas. Smithsonian's Coins Should Be Shined Every Five Years By JANE EADS WASHINGTON, (AP)-Mendel Peterson -.vas getting set to shine up a batch of pieces-of-eight, doubloons, shekels andI o h« coins when 1 walked into ins cubbyhole at the Smithsonian Institution. "It's a job (hat should be done every five years," said Peterson the sociate curator of the Smithsonian's division of historv in charge of the coin collection. ' The coin polishing is.quite a project. There arc more than 30,000 .pieces in the Smithsonian collection 'dating back to the first known coin, struck in Lydia. a kingdom in Asia Minor, about 650 B. C. It was struck from a natural allo> of gold and silver, called eleclrum. found in the alluvial deposits of the area. The Smithsonian receives all U. S. coins from the mint as they come out. but there is no money to buy money from foreign countries. There is a large loan collection of the American Numismatic association, placed in the Smithsonian in memory of Maurice Wonnser, one-time association president. * * * PETERSON CAME to the Smithsonian in April after serving five years with the navy in the Pacific and more recently with the navy's Antartic development project, i'le got his M. A. degree in history at Vanderbilt university and wrote his thesis on numismatics, which tie believes is a contributing source in historical research. He is also a member of the American Numismatic association. He lives in Arlington, Va., with nis attractive wife and two chil'd-. ren and keeps a small coin collection of his own in 40 little drawers of a teakwood cabinet. His coins range from the ancient to the very modern. "The average person thinks that age determines the value of coins, but this is absolutely false," he told me. "The value is determined the exact way the value of any other commodity is determined — on the number available and the demand for the particular coin." For instance, he says, there are many excellent examples of ancient Roman dinari that can be obtained from dealers for as little as a dollar. On the other hand, there are certain commemorative U. S. 50 cent pieces, issued within the past 15 years, that will bring as much as §10. Many ancient coins are obtainable in uncirculated editions- brand new. that is. PeteYson explains why. . . "During certain periods in later Roman history 'moneyers' accompanied the Roman legions and struck imperial silver coins in the name of the emperor for payment of the troops. Say it's a frontier encampment— Jiere's an attack on the wall—the moneyers quickly throw everything into chests, grab their swords and run like mad. . . 2,000 years latet some Scotchmen, furrowing the field, turns up the coins."

Critic Reviews for Pacific Heat: Season 1
All Critics (6) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (5)
Pacific Heat feels hollowed out and devoid of even the slightest measure of personality. Even the animation design feels completely apathetic, which might have been fine if the writing had elicited any emotion beyond boredom.
Beyond unfunny animated Aussie import full of stereotypes.
Lifting liberally from Archer and other "animation for adults" hits, Pacific Heat mimics its main influence's aesthetic without ever coming close to capturing its daredevil energy.
If the sexist gags aren't to your liking, there are racist ones too.
Pacific Heat is a bad show, but a worse comedy. In 44 minutes -- and roughly 200 or so jokes -- it didn't elicit a single laugh. Find something else to watch.
Pacific Heat isn't in the same league as Archer, but it has enough laughs and potential to get there.

"There is nothing more provocative than minding your own business." - William S. Burroughs
Author M C Raj's novel 'The Crossbow Code' is a fictional story set in the past but is one that has it bearings in the present of today and perhaps of the conceivable future. Set across three different continents and as many countries, we follow a man, a stranger amidst a sea of humanity, a man named Kris. He is a provocateur, a philosopher, a man of ideas and higher ideals. In his adventures he interacts with various men, some ordinary while others some of the most notable figures from the history of mankind. Through his provocations we get to see and understand the other side of the heroes and institutions that we adore so much.
First up I have to let you know that this isn't your regular thriller novel, and although theme wise it resembles other popular books, this one is more of an ideological thriller-fiction. While strong characterizations along with solid plotting are a prerequisite for any novel; where such books differ is in the integration of the author's ideas - ideas that try to invigorate and channel our preconditioned minds into accepting newer facts and also be made aware of situations that we are ignorant about. But such ideological fiction often faces a familiar risk, of such ideas getting buried under bad writing, but that isn't the case here as the execution is wonderful as well. It succeeds in using its plot situations and allegories to open up arguments and discourses about a variety of topics.
The Crossbow Code works also as a good exposition into information about important people and movements from around the world. And you will be impressed not only by the content but also by the mode of delivery the author has chosen here. The reader gets a crash course in the Indian independence struggle, its leaders, the prevailing caste system, its ills, and also on the unreported side of Christianity. And once you get used to the narrative, the flow of events that will remind you of an expose documentary gels well together and never feels forced.
There isn't a lot that I found wrong with the book, but at times I felt the author went overboard in trying to make his point. Kris for most part appears as a grounded and a courageous fellow, the hero amongst us asking questions we have all wanted to ask. But sometimes his larger-than-life persona tends to put him in the same ranks as the idols he questions. Also, within the plot work I felt a lot of areas could've been handled more subtly, instead of going for an all out, crude and in-your-face treatment.
MC Raj's writing on humankind, women, love, religion and sexuality through his character Kris puts a greater emphasis on scientific and rational arguments than on tradition based or culture closed arguments. The book succeeds in reminding us what it means to be a human.
In the end, this is a book that I think a lot of people will enjoy. There's a bit of history lesson in it, there's a bit of paranoiac dystopian future reality in it, and it also suggests ways by which we can overhaul our social order for the better. There's plenty here to suggest that a brilliant mind was at work here, and it is an important read, especially for the times we live in.
