She's Snoody...
Okay, sorry for the punny title but I couldn't help it, I love puns! I'm up late playing around with new Interweb tools after spending most of the day laptopless (I reformatted, all by myself--Eric, didn't think I had it in me, didja?
Time for a finished object!! It's the Art Deco Beret by Grumperina, from the fall issue of Knitscene. The yarn is Sheep Shop 3. I have a few hints--it is much, much easier to knit from two balls. I tried to knit from the outside and the inside (you alternate knitting with the beaded and non-beaded strand) of one center pull ball and it was a massive tangle fest. Another tip--look for knots. The unexpected knot on your beaded strand will BUM YOU OUT. When I was about 2" from finishing one ply finally gave out. I was at Eric's and the crafty engineer whipped out an old guitar string for me to use as a big eye needle. After carefully restringing my beads I knit about one round and found A KNOT. Knot cool.
Anyhow, the yarn is gorgeous and I love the fit, I'd wear this as a snood but blocking it over a dinner plate definitely yielded a beret shape. It was a fun, addictive pattern with a very cool cast-on...tubular-ish but I'm not sure. I'll have to investigate, it looks like it'd be great for socks. Now for tons of pictures!

Introducing the SandForce SF2000 Family
Introducing the SandForce SF2000 Family
As you are probably well aware by now, there are actually many different models which make up the next generation of SandForce controllers. Much like Intels socket 1155 i3/i5/i7 series of processors, all these different SandForce numbers represent slightly different tweaks and features, but all are basically built upon the same SF2000 foundation.
In grand total there are eight SF2000 iterations, but for the most part we won't see most of them in the retail channel. Take for example the SF2141; this is a cut down 4 channel, 24bit RS ECC, SATA 3GB/s controller which probably wont see much fan fare outside of truly budget SSDs. The easiest way to think about this one is to consider it the low end of SF2000 drives. Stepping up a level to 8 channels (and 55bit BCH ECC) but still SATA 3GB/s only is the SF2181 which you can consider the mid range of this generation. This one will probably be featured in more mid-tier next generation SSDs as it has better error correction abilities, yet cannot directly compete with the true stars of the SF200 consumer line: the SF 2281.
The only difference between the two real consumer grade SF2000 SATA 6G controllers most likely to be seen (the SF2281 and SF2282) is the one -the 2282- is only for extra large 512GB and higher drives (though the SF2281 can handle 512GB of NAND) and is a larger chip. These are the two flagship products as such have received all the features and all the tweaks which are going to become synonymous with the SF2000 consumer class controllers.
The other four controllers are for enterprise environments and boast features such as eMLC compatibility, Military Erase, SAS and super capacitor capabilities.
The SF2000 controller series is built upon the same architecture as the original SF1000 series. You get DuraWrite, RAISE and all the other features but these have all undergone enhancements and tweaking.
The original SF1000 series had ECC of 24bits per 512byte sector of ECC; whereas the new controller has 55bits. The type of ECC has changed as well. The original used the more simplistic Reed-Solomon (aka RS) ECC code which is probably best known from its use in CDs.
Compare and contrast this with the fact that the new controller uses Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (aka BCH) for its ECC code; which is a more elegant version that targets individual errors. It is also faster and easier for the controller to correct these errors making for a lowered performance impact. AES encryption has also doubled from 128 to 256
The most important of these new features for consumers is of course the new SATA 6Gb/s capabilities. This larger bus instantly translates into much higher sequential performance. The second generation of flagship SandForce controllers has also received a boost on the small file performance end of things thanks in no small part to a 20% increase in IOPS. The first generation SF1200 was rated for up to 50,000 IOPS whereas the new controller family has a rating of 60,000 IOPS.
The other interesting feature which all but the most basic of the SF2000 models boast is SLC NAND abilities. In the past, a manufacturer had to step up the enterprise SF1500 to get SLC compatibility but now they don't have to. Add in lowered power consumption and you can see that while the SF2000 series builds upon the same basic foundation as the previous generation, they are not all that similar when you take a closer look.

Wow - I didn't realise it was going to be that big! It's a gift for a young member of the family - I think he'll be thrilled as he's a tractor fanatic at 6 years old. A practical gift too. The towel has a smoother upper side so it'll be more comfortable to sit on at the beach. It seems to have a thick absorbent power so no usual skinny beach towel.

The Alamance-Burlington Board of Education heard a request this week for a survey that would ask students about use of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs as well as issues such as bullying, gang activity and violence at schools.
The survey would be conducted among middle and high school students. Not all students in those grades would be surveyed.
Karen Webb, representing Alamance Citizens for a Drug Free Community, said the survey was given in 2010 and 2011 using �passive parental consent.� That means instead of approving their child�s participation, parents can say they are not allowed to participate. Information provided by Webb says the passive consent may result in greater inclusion of students considered at high risk for harmful behaviors.
Students taking the survey would have the chance to discontinue answering the questions at any time.
Webb said survey results have been used both by the school system and community organizations in efforts to curtail drug use. Leaders in local law enforcement signed letters supporting the request.
Barbara Carlton, a drug and violence prevention specialist in the school system, said academic achievement is a core issue relating to the survey.
�Over half of the students who said they seldom make good grades also said they had used illicit drugs during the past year,� she said.
Board chairman Tony Rose said if passive consent is used, he would like to see the school system take steps to be sure parents are aware of the survey and that they can opt out if they choose to. He suggested the means of doing so should be up to the system�s staff, but mentioned using the Connect-Ed mass phone-messaging system as a possibility.
Board attorney Trey Allen advised that if the board approves the request in its current form, it would be waiving its policy relating to passive vs. active parental consent. The proposal will be on the agenda at the board�s Jan. 28 meeting.
Megan Ebert, a senior from Williams High School, spoke about the death of Harry Cohen, the school�s football quarterback, in 2011. Autopsy results showed he had taken prescription medication that was not his. Ebert, who is active in anti-drug efforts, said she is hopeful the survey can prevent similar tragedies.
Board member Steve Van Pelt said the importance of the survey is evident because many of the subjects it addresses are the most common violations reported in the state�s annual Crime and Violence, Suspensions and Expulsions Report that lists student infractions in the state�s school systems.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Nothing says you're a married woman more than a gift enclosure card. That's what Carrie Underwood admitted to Oprah Winfrey during their recent sit-down chit-chat at Underwood's Nashville home. She was explaining how she is starting to get used to the idea that she is no longer just Carrie. "For the first year of our marriage, I still would give people gifts and write, 'Love Carrie.' And I'm like, 'OK. Now I'm Carrie and Mike. There's two of us now,'" she says. "But I'm getting better all the time. Now, the more I do it, the more I'm able to think more of 'we.'" And even though Underwood says she had plenty of "I can't believe I'm married" moments, that was just because she spent 27 years of her life not being married. Fisher isn't a part of this particular conversation, but he was there. I know this because I've seen more of the Oprah's Next Chapter interview where he is a big part of the talk. And because he tweeted about it. "Had a great day hanging with @Oprah what a great person!" he wrote. Underwood did it too, tweeting, "Just a regular day … in Nashville hanging out with @Oprah ;)" Even Winfrey got on the tweeting bandwagon. "Back home in Nashville to interview @Carrieunderwood for Sunday's #nextchapter Everyone is so darn NICE here!," she said. The show airs Sunday (May 20) night on OWN.

Unsupported browser notifications
Talk about the native Mac OS X browser.
Moderator: Camino Developers
12 posts • Page 1 of 1
I just downloaded Camino 2.1.2 and am using it for the first time. I'm on a G4 10.4.11 and was using Firefox 3.6. Wasn't locked out of anything yet except hotmail just today. With Camino, I'm seeing much faster loading, smoother operation, and for the FIRST time I can watch HD videos! Very exciting.
I am still getting unsupported browser notifications on several sites that now function much better for me, and I am still locked out of hotmail. I keep the hotmail account because I signed up for so many things with it years ago, it will be a real pain if I have to switch my email account for those. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Thank you!
Welcome to Camino. I've yet to encounter a site claiming that Camino was unsupported that would actually lock me out. They all continue to perform as they do on the "supported" browsers. As for the Hotmail: why not upgrade Firefox a few steps to use for Hotmail and for any other sites that might require it. There's no law that says you need to confine yourself to a single browser. I've got five, and have reasons to use all of them on occasion. I hate Google Chrome but I use it for all my financial transactions. You'd be advised to do something similar.

I am getting the "unsupported browser" messages from Hotmail. but I can still get to my Hotmail account on Camino by going to Hotmail.com. See if that works for you.
I should note that I'm using a nightly build (2.1.3pre), don't know if that makes a difference.
While Hotmail -- or Outlook, now -- will let me log in and then stop and complain.
I can just click in the URL box and delete everything after https://loc999.mail.live.com/mail/
Then the site loads normally. Camino is the only browser that works as smoothly.

Just so you know, the Firefox 3.6.28 was the last security update for the old 3.6 and not 3.6.27.
Hello. Windows friends (an oxymoron?) send me pictures which seem to link into something called Skydrive. When I click on the picture I get the following:
"Microsoft Services are designed for you, but maybe not for your browser--Some features may not work correctly with the version of the web browser you are currently using.
To get the most out of Microsoft services, we recommend that you take a few minutes to upgrade to the current version of one of these browsers:
Windows Internet Explorer
Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome
When I copy the link into Firefox, it works fine and I get a good view of the photo that came a bit bigger than thumbnail size in the Mac Mail e-mail.
Can anyone enlighten me on this, is Camino (my favourite) missing something or what is going on?
This is the user agent for the version of Camino that you are using:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; en; rv:220.127.116.11) Gecko/20120308 Camino/2.1.2 (like Firefox/3.6.28)
See the part where it says "like Firefox/3.6.28"? Camino can only use an old version of the underlying rendering engine, in this case Gecko 1.9.2.x. This is due to the Firefox devs not having enough time to maintain the mechanism that Camino was using to build Camino on top of Gecko. So, websites believe you are using a Firefox 3.6.x version (they know it's Camino, but they care more about the Gecko part) and let you know that the site is better viewed in newer browsers that are a) more secure and b} more up to date with current web standards.
The Skydrive site works in Firefox and not Camino because a portion of the site requires a feature that is not available in Camino due to the outdated web engine.

Thanks for the input smsmith but if you are answering my query, I have no idea of what you are talking about You could put my computer expertise on the head of a pin so that's likely the main reason--if you don't mind could you render that down in plain English? Thanks very much. Cheers.
I'll give it a shot.
To build a web page, Camino uses the Gecko "rendering engine". This is the engine that underlies Camino, Firefox and Seamonkey (the old Mozilla Suite). The webpage is written in a language that humans can mostly read, but don't mean much to your computer that needs to display it, so the rendering engine does that part. The part you know of as Camino is the part you interact with to go surfing the web.
Camino uses the rendering engine is a slightly different manner than Firefox in that it is "embedded" in Camino. I'm not wholly sure what that means myself, but what it means in practice is that once the Firefox development team didn't have time to keep maintaining the ability to embed Gecko, Camino was going to be stuck using the last version that supported embedding, which is the Firefox 3.6.x version. Firefox is now at version 20, so you can see that Camino is far behind now. Most modern websites are becoming more like mini-applications, and as such are relying on your web browser to support certain functions. Unfortunately, the old engine that Camino uses doesn't support enough of those functions to always let the website work. In some cases, you can ignore the warning, but those cases are becoming more rare.
I hope that makes a little more sense.

THANKS smsmith -- really appreciate that and yes it does make sense. I still have questions however that I hope you can help with. In the example I mentioned, does that mean that I can use Camino in a lot (most?) instances but whenever something like what I mentioned come up I will have to copy the url from Camino and paste it in a Firefox browser to get that particular site to come up properly?
I'm sorry Camino seems to be lagging behind and I am tempted just to go to Firefox completely as activity on Camino seems to be lagging. I think this is unfortunate but guess there is nothing we can do about it.
Thanks again. Regards.
It's always a good idea to have two browsers handy. The only way I know of opening the page you are on from Camino is to copy and past the URL from Camino to Firefox, but perhaps you could make an AppleScript to do the same thing for you.
The decision regarding using the old version of Gecko is several years old now, and I haven't heard any news recently about being able to move forward, so I think Camino for the time being is going to continue to be "like Firefox 3.6.x". I say continue to use what you like and when you have a problem site, fire up Firefox for that case.

Thanks very much smsmith, you suggested advice to 'stay the course with Camino as it is' and use another browser when required sounds good to me! In any event, nice to see some activity on this forum.

Crayfish get anxious, too
Shock a crustacean, and its subsequent behavior changes
Jean-Paul Delbecque
Crayfish under duress show signs of anxiety, scientists report in the June 13 Science. The results provide clear evidence of the complex behavior in invertebrates and hint at anxiety's ancient origins.
To look for signs of fretting, French researchers watched the lobsterlike crustaceans explore a cross-shaped tank that had two dark arms and two lit ones. Crayfish preferred the safety afforded by the dark, but they also occasionally explored the illuminated arms. However, compared with normal crayfish, animals subjected to a series of stressful shocks before entering the tank spent less time exploring lit areas and more time huddled in the dark.
Anxious behavior lessened after researchers treated the crayfish with chlordiazepoxide, an antianxiety drug for people. The scientists also found that an injection of serotonin, a mood-regulating chemical messenger, induced anxious behavior

The Radio Galaxy PKS 0521-36
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has obtained the most detailed and highest resolution optical images of the radio galaxy PKS 0521-36. The observations were made with the European Space Agency's Faint Object Camera.
The galaxy PKS 0521-36, which is at a distance of about one billion light years from us, is known to be a source of powerful radio emission. It has a quasar-like nucleus that is very bright, both at optical and radio wavelengths. This galaxy belongs to a small group of radio sources which have "jets" that have been seen at both radio and at optical wavelengths. These jets show that high energy material is streaming out from the nuclei at high velocity, often close to the speed of light.
Although the existence of optical jets in galaxies has been known for a long time – the prototype, the jet of the galaxy M 87 was first observed in 1918 – very few other examples of optical jets have been found. The discovery in the 1970's that radio jets are widespread nevertheless established the fact that jets play a fundamental role in understanding the nature of active galaxies. Astronomers believe that they provide the route for energy to be carried from the powerful nucleus out to very large distances from the galaxy.
PKS 0521-36 is one of only a handful of radio galaxies that are known to possess jets visible in both the radio and optical portions of the spectrum.
The emission is understood to be due to so-called "synchrotron radiation" which is produced by fast electrons moving in a magnetic field. The beam is produced in a very powerful source located at the center of the galaxy – possibly a black- hole. Exactly how this occurs is not yet known. Optical emission in the jet, or beam, is very localized, and arises only in parts of the beam where electrons are being accelerated, perhaps due to instabilities at the edges of the flow. For this reason, by studying the optical structure of the jet, astronomers hope to learn much about how it works.
The Faint Object Camera image shows the galaxy with the jet protruding outside it. In ground-based images, the whole optical jet is embedded within the galaxy and to make it evident, the star light from the galaxy has to be removed or subtracted by computer processing. A similar procedure with the Faint Object Camera data shows the jet in great detail all the way into the nucleus of the galaxy. The jet is about 30,000 light years in length. This data also shows "hot spots", which are areas of enhanced emission – probably where acceleration of electrons is actually occuring.
Taken together, the radio and optical data will help astronomers to determine the nature of the energy source and the acceleration mechanism for these jets. Is the central "monster" responsible for the enormous amount of energy observed in these jets a black-hole or some other complex mechanism? Does the acceleration occur continuously along the jet or in a small number of acceleration sites? How does the jet stay so well-defined and narrow over such a very large distance?
Astronomers hope that by using the Faint Object Camera to study PKS 0521-36 and other objects like it, they can untangle the complex processes giving rise to the "jet" phenomenon.

'Vitally important' state report almost 3 years late
"I think it is vitally important to have the 'Getting Prepared Report' updated in 2014, given the push we did this legislative session to advance early college opportunities for all secondary students." That's what Rep. Carlos Mariani,DFL-St. Paul and chair of the Minnesota House K-12 Education Policy Committee, told me this week.
State law requires that this report be completed and shared annually with legislators. But despite this law, the report was last issued in January 2011 (online as a PDF), almost three years ago.
As with state and federal health care applications, it appears that unanticipated computer and data problems are causing big delays.
Getting Prepared shows what number and percentage of graduates from each Minnesota public high school had to take developmental, aka remedial or high-school level, courses when they entered a Minnesota public college or university. It's valuable for legislators to know whether the state and individual schools aremaking progress. (A recent report on kindergarten readiness shows progress in that field.)
Because the report shows how many graduates at each high school took remedial courses in reading, writing and math, high school educators can use Getting Prepared to identify and then work on improving student preparation in those subjects. Getting Prepared also helps students and families see how well prepared graduates are for public higher education.
Finally, the report is important because of 2013 changes in state law. High school students are no longer required to pass reading, writing or math tests in order to graduate. Instead, students will be encouraged to take various tests and assessments that help them understand where they are compared to expectations of colleges and employers.
Taking remedial courses costs families and taxpayers millions of dollars. Our goal should be to reduce the number of students entering public colleges and universities who take these courses.
Minnesota Statute 13.32, subdivision 6(b) is clear. It reads in part: "Public postsecondary systems annually shall provide summary data to the Department of Education indicating the extent and content of the remedial instruction received in each system during the prior academic year by, and the results of assessment testing and the academic performance of, students who graduated from a Minnesota school district within two years before receiving the remedial instruction. The department shall evaluate the data and annually report its findings to the education committees of the legislature."
I've been asking for this report since fall of 2012. In March 2013, I was told that the responsibility to produce the report had been shifted from the two public higher education systems, the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota State College and University system, aka MnSCU, to the Minnesota Office of Higher Education.
Since then, I've talked with Office of Higher Education officials a number of times. Initially the Office of Higher Education said data would be available in June. That later was changed to July and then "the fall."
I checked again with the Office of Higher Education and Department of Education officials this week. The report still is not done.
State officials have held several meetings around Minnesota this month to encourage high school and college collaboration, leading to better-prepared students. Having an updated Getting Prepared report would have been helpful.
Sandy Connolly, communications director at the Office of Higher Education, explained the office's analysis of data has produced "some inconsistencies… with regard to the percentage of students taking developmental education at MnSCU." So officials are "checking the individual records of thousands of students, a step OHE believes is necessary for the integrity of the final product."
Perhaps it's time to go back to the old system, where the University of Minnesota and MnSCU system complete the report, until the inconsistencies can be resolved. More people may also be needed to help finish the report.
The Office of Higher Education says the new report will include more details and, for the first time, data from Minnesota students attending private as well as public institutions. That could be valuable.
But almost three years have elapsed since this report was produced. The law (wisely) says the Getting Prepared report is supposed to be done each year. It's time to follow the law.

1. "Not even the biggest institutions can stop me."
Banks let them open accounts in your name. The Internal Revenue Service gives them your tax refund. They dip into databases linked to credit bureaus, snagging your bank account, routing and Social Security numbers, which are sold off like packs of gum in an ever-growing black market that generates billions of dollars. The modern con artist's prying eyes look beyond the wallet in your back pocket to hijack your financial identity.
In 2013, there was a new victim of identity fraud every two seconds, according to Javelin Strategy and Research. Fraud complaints increased more than sixfold from 2001 to 2013, according to a Federal Trade Commission report released in February. As consumers bank, shop and connect in social networks online, data breaches have become an unwelcome reality.
Scarier still: The institutions that are supposed to keep your information secure are the same ones fraudsters can sneak past. More than 867 million records have been stolen from businesses, government agencies, nonprofits, medical providers and educational institutions since 2005 — and 30% of those were leaked in the last year and a half, according to the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse. Victims this year alone include government agencies like the California Department of Motor Vehicles and the city of Detroit, large corporations including food company J.M. Smucker, as well as small businesses like an Ohio gas station and a Malibu wine shop.
Once a crook has one piece of your personal data, it's much easier to get a lot more of it. Nearly all of the top credit card issuers and 80% of the top 25 banks allow someone to access your account if they have the correct Social Security number, according to Javelin. Every year, the U.S. hands billions of dollars to fraudsters requesting tax refunds that belong to someone else. That total reached about $3.6 billion in 2011, according to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. Attorneys general in Connecticut and Illinois are probing Experian, one of the three major credit bureaus, after a Vietnamese man pled guilty to selling the information of hundreds of thousands of Americans, which he accessed through one of its subsidiaries. Experian has said that it did not control the compromised database and that its credit data wasn't affected.
To be sure, when it comes to security, "financial institutions represent, perhaps, the most protected business segment in the private sector," according to a report released last month by the SANS Institute, an Internet security company. The survey of nearly 300 technology security professionals, from across banking, insurance, health care and government agencies, also found that 49% of respondents plan to invest more heavily in information technology security over the next two years.
Banks run continual tests on their security systems to find and patch weaknesses, though fake credentials can sometimes slip through, says David Pommerehn, senior counsel at the Consumer Bankers Association, a trade group comprising more than 50 retail banks including Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup.
"Criminals have moved from the street corner, committing crimes like prostitution and selling drugs, to committing white-collar crimes, committing fraud," says Al Pascual, senior analyst for security, risk and fraud at Javelin. "The information they need to commit these crimes is plentiful and cheap."

#1 First and foremost, what is a Case Manager?
The definition of case management has evolved over a period of time. The most recent definition approved by the Case Management Society of America (CMSA) is as follows:
"Case management is a collaborative process of assessment, planning, facilitation, care coordination, evaluation, and advocacy for options and services to meet an individual's and family's comprehensive health needs through communication and available resources to promote quality cost-effective outcomes".
The case manager is a recognized expert and serves as an important facilitator among the client, family or caregiver, the health team, the payer, and the community. This can occur in a single health care setting or during the client's transitions through the continuum of care.
In short, case managers are vital participants in the care coordination team who empower people to understand and access quality, efficient health care.
#2 What role does the Case Manager perform?
Depending on the health care organization, the case manager can play distinctly different roles:
- A care provider who helps patients to improve their self-management skills and/or helps caregivers to be more effective in supporting patients
- A collaborative member of the care delivery team who promotes better communication with providers and advocates for implementation of care plans
- A patient advocate who evaluates patient needs and works to surmount problems with access to clinical services*
#3 What job functions do Case Managers perform?
Job functions of case managers revolve around Patient-centered Care, and include:
- Conducting a comprehensive assessment of the client's health and psychosocial needs, including health literacy status and deficits
- Developing a case management plan collaboratively with the client, family/caregiver, health care providers, the payer, and the community to maximize healthcare responses, quality, and cost-effective outcomes
- Coordinating members of the health care team, and the client in the decision-making process in order to minimize fragmentation of services
- Educating the client, the family or caregiver, and members of the health care delivery team about treatment options, community resources, insurance benefits, psychosocial concerns, etc., so that timely and informed decisions can be made
- Assisting the client in the safe transitioning of care to the next most appropriate level
- Striving to promote client self-advocacy and self-determination
- Advocating for both the client and the payer to facilitate positive outcomes for the client, the health care team, and the payer. However, if a conflict arises, the needs of the client must be the priority
#4 What is the job market like for Case Managers?
There is an ever growing need for case managers as evidenced by healthcare institutions employment opportunities across the United States. Research shows where case managers are used; health care quality goes up while the costs go down. A variety of inpatient and outpatient settings are offered, including, but not limited to.
- Hospitals and integrated care delivery systems, including acute care, subacute care, long-term acute care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and rehabilitation facilities
- Public health insurance programs, Medicare, Medicaid (MediCal), state-funded programs and community-based programs
- Ambulatory care clinics including health care centers and mental health facilities
- Group and private health insurance programs, managed care organizations workers' compensation and occupational health, and long-term care insurance
- Physician and medical group practices, independent and private case management companies, and life care planning programs
- Government-sponsored programs, correctional facilities, military and veteran's health care
- Provider agencies, home health services, long-term care services, disease management companies, and residential and assisted living facilities
- Hospice, palliative, and respite care programs.
- Corporations
#5 Can I work as a Case Manager immediately?
While most inpatient case managers have a minimum of 2 years experience as a bedside nurse, some graduates are finding they transition to case management within the first year, or even earlier. In the outpatient setting, there are opportunities for immediate employment upon graduation. Of course, opportunities exist for bedside nursing should you wish to explore that option.
#6 What is the future of Case Management?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, case management is one of the fastest growing occupations in our nation, with an estimated growth of 23% between 2012 and 2022**. New team-based models for health care delivery like the patient-centered medical home and advanced primary care have hastened the drive to break down the "silos of care" that for generations defined fragmentation in health care and increased the potential for errors†
Although a number of strategies for health care reform have been espoused and debated, case management has emerged as an important intervention that fosters the careful shepherding of health care dollars while maintaining a primary and consistent focus on quality of care and client self-determination.

Gear I can't seem to live without
While I'm really not much of a gear fetishist -- musical instruments, and the tools that go with them, have come and gone a lot in my life -- I am discovering that some gear is just too sweet to move on from.
I'm in the process of selling off most of my musical gear. A lot of stuff I have had purely for the rigors of long-term, old school, professional touring. Since I am now fully new school, I just don't need this stuff anymore. For example, speakers. I don't need them anymore. I am using in-ear monitors and I go direct to the house board. And if you don't need speakers, then you don't need power amps either.
And since I am presently processing my live instrument entirely through the laptop, then I don't need stomp boxes or effects racks either.
The process of selling off my stuff is quite slow and laborous. And it turns out, there are few things that I just can't let go. Some boxes do something so unique that I can't send them off. Other things (a compressor and preamp, for example) I had planned on selling, but when I pulled them out to check that they were in good enough condition, I just couldn't... They had something about them that just made me hold on. There was some extra life that they added to the instrument that I could feel and sense in the articulation of my hands.
Here are those items. Those ones that I just couldn't let go and be replaced by their digital counterparts. I haven't included any of my Warr Guitars -- my main tapping instrument -- as it goes without saying that I can't play without them.

Recycle Utah draws big numbers
When Summit County implemented its own recycling program, Insa Riepen, the executive director of recycle Utah, had concerns that the nonprofit may suffer. So when Riepen approached the city to see if they could conduct a traffic study for Woodbine Way, the street just outside the entrance to the Recycle Center, it was to see if numbers were declining.
In the last traffic study, Recycle Utah placed a manual counter that estimated 400 to 500 vehicles on average visiting the center each day. When the city installed a laser counter on Woodbine Way, just past Munchkin Road, so to capture the most accurate numbers, she did not expect the numbers that came in.
From Oct. 16 through Oct. 30, Recycle Utah averaged 1,033 vehicles a day. In 14 days, the laser counter captured 28,910 cars passing through the area.
"From a traffic flow perspective, there are a lot of visitors coming in," said Tyler Poulson, the environmental sustainability program manager for Park City Municipal. "Clearly, there are a lot of vehicles circulating that area."
"It was encouraging, just having been at the center a little bit," he added, "to see lots of traffic, lots of people circulating through the area."
Because employees don't park in that area and the street is a dead end, Riepen said she expected the numbers to be fairly accurate in counting the number of people actually using the center.
Recycle Utah also recently signed a contract with Summit County, a first for the nonprofit, and will provide services to the county such as education and distributing information regarding available recycling programs. Recycle Utah has an existing contract with the city to provide similar services inside Park City.
"Even though the county has the new system, which we highly encourage people to use, there are things that cannot go into the curbside bin," she said.
"There was the concern that with the County Curbside program beginning in July, our numbers would go down," she added, "but the staff was still working with a lot people who were coming in, and traffic gridlock was not uncommon out there."
Recycle Utah can take 50 different items, ranging from chunks of styrofoam to guitar strings to electronic waste. The county recycle plan, because it is limited in its resources, recycles plastics, aluminum and paper material such as cardboard and newspaper.
The nonprofit did see a dip in plastics dropped off at the center, but glass and other commonly recycled materials remain a large part of what the local plant processes to be recycled.
"People are coming here to drop off recyclables, to check out the reuse facility," Riepen said, "but the overall message here is that our audience in Summit County specifically in Park City is so much more environmentally aware than in other communities. They need to be given kudos."
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

text: Hi everyone at HowToForge, this is my first post here. I'd like to use ISPConfig 3 with Dovecot (preferrably v2.x) and do IMAP/POP3/submission traffic accounting. Preferrably on CentOS 6, but Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or Debian 6 would also work. According to a recent forum post by Till this should be possible with ISPConfig 220.127.116.11. I'd like to give this a try and set this up in a VM tomorrow. Before I do, is there something I should be aware of in this context? Are there any known issues with this setup? Should I prefer Debian 6 over Ubuntu 12.04? I will probably use this how-to unless you recommend otherwise. And most importantly, should I expect traffic accounting to work out of the box, or will I need to make any manual changes to make it work? Thanks in advance!

My artwork explores how we're left guessing at the psychological reality of others, as appearance, words and actions can never convey our inner consciousness. Like the gaps in the wire figures, we are left to presume, deduce, judge. This ambiguity and impenetrability is the ultimate barrier to really 'understanding' a person. The idea grew from my studies of Shakespeare's characters Othello and Iago, and a revealing talk I had with my sister after a fight. She told me the thoughts driving her typical 'teenage' actions and attitudes, which I had been completely oblivious to until that moment.

I'm excited about Grand Theft Auto V. You're probably excited about Grand Theft Auto V. And with so many people excited about Grand Theft Auto V, pretty much everyone out there with a keyboard an functioning brain has taken to the internet to voice their opinion about the impressive second trailer that Rockstar released yesterday.
Some folks expressed their excitement on various message boards, and some of those comments are very funny. In fact, some brilliant soul started GTAVTrailerComments.tumblr.com, a tumblr devoted entirely to setting the best YouTube comments against peaceful, stock-photo backgrounds.
Some highlights are below, though you can read plenty more at the site. (Salty language follows):

Review of iPhone 4S
The iPhone 4S has the same exterior design as the iPhone 4 (barring some minor changes to the antenna)..The front and the back are both glass.

Doom 3 Graphics Deathmatchby Derek Wilson on August 3, 2004 8:05 AM EST
- Posted in
- GPUs
IntroductionKicking off what we've dubbed "Doom 3 Week" here at AnandTech, we're bringing you our in depth analysis of video card performance under Doom 3.
Staying up all night benchmarking one of the most anticipated titles of the past few years has been very educational for us. Quite a few impressions we had about what our Doom 3 experience would be like had to be thrown out the window, and it all comes down to the fact that this is an impressive game no matter how you slice it.
Our goal in this review is to cover all angles of graphics card impact on playing Doom 3. We will explore everything from the ultra high end down to the bargain basement cards. We've also included such favorites as the GeForce 4 Ti 4400, the Radeon 9700 Pro, and the Radeon 9600 XT. All the usual suspects put in an appearance as well to make this one of the most comprehensive graphics tests we've undertaken in a while.
But let's get down to it: we're here for the analysis, so lets take a look at the system we're testing on and iron out the details about what to expect from this review.
UPDATE: We have recently been made aware of ATI's beta Catalyst 4.9 drivers targeted at Doom 3 performance enhancement. These drivers will not be available in a whql package until September, but until then, here is a sneak peek at percentage performance improvement over the 4.7 drivers:
|Catalyst 4.9 Performance Improvement
|High 10x7
|Ultra 10x7
|High 16x12
|Ultra 16x12
|X800 Pro
|Catalyst 4.9 Performance Improvement w/ 4xAA Enabled
|High 10x7
|Ultra 10x7
|High 16x12
|Ultra 16x12
|X800 Pro
We can see that the biggest performance improvements come on the higher end platform, higher quality setting, higher AA setting, and lower resolution. We were unable to install this driver on 9800 series cards, but we hear that performance improvement on older platforms is less significant than what we see on the x800 series.
UPDATE: The issues we experienced with the eVGA GeForce 6800 Ultra Extreme have been fixed with an newer version of the card sent by eVGA.com that (among other things) dropped the core clock speed down to 450MHz. We put the card through a grueling series of tests which confirm its rock solid stability under Doom 3. The scores with the new stable revision will be slightly lower than the previous Ultra Extreme (because of the clock speed decerase), but it is still the fastest card we've tested with Doom 3.

edge929 - Tuesday, August 03, 2004 - linkI think I'll wait about a YEAR for prices to come down to reasonable levels, then I'll get a 6800 Ultra and play it the way it's suppose to be played. Reply
VortigernRed - Tuesday, August 03, 2004 - linkDerek,
There is def something wrong with your figures here.
You have a Geforce 6800 ontperforming a X800XTPE by about 70% on the top graph "high quality med res" also theX800 Pro scores are identical to the R9800 Pro. Maybe you have left a higher quality setting on with the X800s (AA or something)
Gibhunter: Geforce4 MX is nothing like a GF3 TI 200. GF4 MX offers a similar featureset as the GF2 and pretty much the GF256 before it, however it has a better memory controller and so offers performance similar to the higher end Geforce2s ie Pro and Ultra. GF3 offers PS and VS.
Reflex: JC always said that Doom3 targeted the Gefore256s featureset. However that does not mean the Geforce256s performance of course. Reply
Koing - Tuesday, August 03, 2004 - linkThanks for report Derek.

unclebud - Tuesday, August 03, 2004 - link"John Carmack has spoken of possible issues when overclocking a graphics card with Doom 3,"
sounds like Mr C is trying to excuse his code bloat (to me).
what happened to "voodoo 3 2000 will be able to run doom 3 fine"? Reply
araczynski - Tuesday, August 03, 2004 - linkreminds me a lot of Deus Ex 2, cept more atmospheric and more responsive. Reply
araczynski - Tuesday, August 03, 2004 - linkon my system firstname.lastname@example.com/1GB/5900(128) the game plays very nicely with everything maxed (AA off) at 1024x768. the game is very good, especially in terms of atmosphere and graphics, the sound isn't as good as i think it could've been, but still very nice. also some issue with it not seeing 7.1 setups as surround, have to downgrade in windows to 5.1.
worth teh wait i think, at least singleplayer is, don't really care about the multiplayer from this type of genre so won't try it. Reply
gibhunter - Tuesday, August 03, 2004 - link#27, GF4MX is more like GF3 Ti 200. GF2MX was more on par with the original Geforce video card.
I am interested to see if the Radeon 9200 loses any frames per second on a slower CPU. My guess is that it doesn't take a very powerful cpu to max it out hence it should hover right around 20fps on even a P4 2GHz. Reply
maverick81 - Tuesday, August 03, 2004 - linkI have a laptop with a AMD mobile 64 3200 and a ATI mobility 9600 with 64 mb. I have been using it for ganes until my x800 gets here. Only been playing doom 3 for about 4 hours. It seems to run fine, not as good as a desktop but playable. Reply
thebluesgnr - Tuesday, August 03, 2004 - linkDerek,
do you have a FX5200 or 5500 with a 64-bit memory interface to test?
also, I'd like to see the Radeon 9550 results.
Thanks, Reply

Riker's dateEdit
"William T. Riker" (actually Thomas Riker) claimed to have once spent a couple of hours at Quark's, during which he won all the Ferengi's latinum and had a date with one of the dabo girls, so he thought he'd stop at DS9 again on his way to Risa. (DS9: "Defiant")

Immediately after Tech's mammoth comeback against Arkansas in the Belk Bowl, Justin Fuente wasn't quite willing to go all the way and say the win proves that the Hokies are a national force once more. Senior DE Ken Ekanem had no such reservations.
"Virginia Tech's back on the map," Ekanem said after the 35-24 victory that gave Tech its first 10-win season since 2011. "It was just cool getting Virginia Tech back to the vision when I was recruited, back to 10-win seasons. You couldn't draw it up any better at all."
Ekanem might not have been part of the best teams in Tech history, but he does get to end his career as part of the first Hokie squad to win three bowls in a row, and go out in a blaze of glory that he says he won't soon forget.
"It was a game I'll always remember and tell my grandkids about," Ekanem said.
A game featuring 35-0 run in the second half is indeed quite the win for the senior class to go out on, but Bud Foster thinks it's plenty meaningful for the coaching staff as well. The longtime DC has never been shy about heaping praise on Fuente, and he felt the big bowl turnaround is the perfect example of why Whit Babcock made the right choice in bringing the former Memphis coach to Blacksburg.
"I've been, to be honest with you, overwhelmed by just how good Justin is," Foster said. "I'm really impressed by his maturity as a young coach. He's a deep thinker, and the things that he says and brings to the table for our team day-in, day-out, week-in, week-out with different things that are motivating tools, maybe teaching tools. I've just really been impressed by his body of work and what he's about."
Foster isn't the first coach to compare Fuente to his predecessor from Fancy Gap, but he emphasized that the team's sudden return to relevance wouldn't be possible if the new head Hokie didn't have a little Frank Beamer in him.
"He reminds of coach Beamer 30 years ago when it's all said and done," Foster said. "A guy with a lot of energy and a lot of enthusiasm, but a new generation, and I've been extremely impressed by him and how he's handled the transition. I will say this, Coach Beamer has been phenomenal about standing back and letting Justin do his thing, but at the same time, you see how Justin, he's a football fanatic, and you see how he's embraced 25 and Coach Beamer's tradition, and I think that makes a statement about him and this football team and this program, but also how he cares about the game."
Halftime Anger Generates Major Results
While Fuente and Foster certainly deserve their fair share of credit for the team's monster bowl comeback, seniors like Sam Rogers still had to fight off the urge to quit as they headed into the locker room after a devastating first half.
Rogers said the thought that he might end his storied Tech career with an embarrassing performance on a national stage never truly crossed his mind, and he worked to make sure everyone else on the team was similarly focused.
"You can't think like that, because if you do, it's like giving into the mentality that it's going to happen," Rogers said. "So for me, when those thoughts do creep in, you cut them off and say, 'No we're going to go win that game, we're gonna win that game.' You take it one play at a time, and that's what I just kept telling the guys."
But Ekanem admits that doing so wasn't quite so easy for everyone, especially his fellow defensive linemates.
"It was a little upsetting at first, like, 'Wow this is really happening,' going into halftime at 24-0, with the weirdest calls, probably one of the weirdest called games I'd ever been a part of," Ekanem said. "We knew tensions were flaring and people were just pissed on the line, a lot of no calls, so we knew we had to make something happen."
By the time the first half ended, Ekanem said "we were just angry going into halftime," and it showed in the second half.
"We let it out on them," Ekanem said.
Indeed, the defense's six sacks and constant pressure on QB Austin Allen had a huge impact on the second half, helping to generate three interceptions that all led to Tech touchdowns.
"We knew coming into the game that the QB got hit a lot each game, so we knew that there was a lot of potential for us to bring a lot of pressure, and pressure makes QB overthrow the ball," Ekanem said. "So once we started doing that, it led to (Tremaine Edmunds') pick and after that, it was pretty much game over."
Rogers called it the "story of the second half; the defense gets a turnover and we capitalize," and the fullback had a big hand in the process with his fingertip TD grab to make the game 24-14 in the third quarter.
"Personally, it felt better for me because I missed a block on a previous drive when I was in gap protection and I thought I had help inside and that was my fault, I messed up the protection," Rogers said. "So being able to get the touchdown kind of calmed down a bit."
But when one reporter had the gall to suggest that grab was "pretty athletic for a fullback," Rogers seemed a little less than calm.
"It's the most backhanded compliment, 'For a fullback,'" Rogers said with a smile. "People always say, 'Pretty athletic, for a fullback.' What does that mean? You might as well just call me not athletic."
Remembering Keion
After such a thrilling win to send off the team's seniors, emotions were sure to run high for the Hokies after the bowl game's end. But the sudden passing of former Tech DB Keion Carpenter immediately before the game added an extra layer of poignancy to the team's big victory.
TE Bucky Hodges payed tribute to Carpenter with an undershirt that he flashed after the game, catching Foster by surprise.
"That's pretty impressive," Foster said. "Some of those guys don't know Keion, but we made a point (Wednesday) night defensively to let them know who he was and what kind of player he was, what kind of person and teammate. He's a brother, and to me he was like a son, and it was a tough time."
Foster isn't shy about wearing his heart on his sleeve, especially after games, and he couldn't help but get choked up when describing just how Carpenter's death at 39 affected him.
"It kind of caught me off guard," Foster said, his voice cracking as he held back tears. "Because we're going in to have a big night with our seniors, and it just kind of took me aback, but I thought it was important that our kids know who he was and what he meant to this program. He was a big part of us taking the next step as a program, and to lose such a fine young man at a young age, it's like losing one of your kids. I couldn't imagine, but it's devastating for their family, and we just wish them the very best."
Spring Uncertainty
With the thrill of the bowl win already fading in the rearview, Foster now has to turn his attention to spring ball.
It may seem plenty far off, but Foster knows he doesn't have much time to figure out how to replace defensive stalwarts like Chuck Clark, Woody Baron, Ken Ekanem and Nigel Williams.
"With Chuck Clark and those three defensive linemen, we lost almost 600 tackles, 96 TFLs and 38 sacks," Foster said. "That's pretty good productivity, and those guys are going to be tough to replace. But I do like Tim Settle, Ricky Walker, Trevon Hill."
But with Hill and fellow DE Vinny Mihota set to be out for spring practice as they recover from offseason surgeries, Foster is anticipating plenty of playing time for some of the least experienced players on the roster.
"Those young ends are gonna grow up in a hurry because they're gonna get a lot of reps," Foster said. "I'm excited about spring, but we're going to be shorthanded because of some injuries."
Foster admitted that it's a small consolation that Hill got the chance to play in the bowl game in Mihota's place, and expects that he has a "dynamic future" in front of him. Yet he's also anticipating lots of snaps for some recent signees, including one who signed as a linebacker and now seems to be making the permanent move to the defensive line.
"Houshun Gaines is going to get a lot of reps, Emmanuel Belmar is going to get a ton of reps," Foster said. "We're going to have some guys that are going to have to grow up a lot, but I'm excited about them at the same time, I really am."
Luckily, Foster has done all this many times over.
"That's kind of what we've done over the years, we've passed the baton," Foster said. "We have these meetings defensively, and that's a big part of the kids seeing what it takes to be successful, and what these guys put into it, and that's good for the young guys to see and we pass the baton onto them and it's their turn. Some are better than others, but at least you've got a good foundation, and that's what this senior class has done."

NZs dirty milk secret Shhhhhhhhhhh
Fonterra moves to reassure customers
Traces of a toxic agricultural substance detected in some Fonterra milk powders has international dairy customers asking for answers.
Testing of 100 samples from products last September revealed low levels of dicyandiamide (DCD) residues in 10 samples of whole milk powder, skim milk powder and buttermilk powder made with milk from the North and South Islands.
The finding has caused concern among international customers of dairy giant Fonterra.
The farming industry mafia is simply too powerful in NZ for any real discussion of their latest cock up to occur in our media. The fact that Fonterra managed to get away with almost zero criticism for their insane handling of the melamine scandal in China hints at the level of power they have over corporate media, but they can't shut up media in other country's who have a vested interest in damning NZs milk quality.
The reason this is a scandal is not because of the toxicity of dicyandiamide, it is because of what dicyandiamide represents. It is an attempt to mitigate the vast intensification of these dirty water stealing dairy farmers who continue to poison our rivers with their filth. Dicyandiamide turning up in milk shows how intensive the dairy farming industry have been allowed to grow.
Dairy Farmers and the National Party are destroying our clean green brand for short term gain rather than attempting to maximize a premium price for our dairy products.
Intensification of dairy farming comes at a massive cost to our environment while empowering a tiny fragment of the country who back the National Party to the hilt. The symbiotic relationship between Dairy farmers and the political powers of the right mean that our environment will always come second whilst these clowns are in power.
Spot the difference
One is a rabid pro farming lobby nut and the other is the President of Federated Farmers

Believe it or not, if you are reading this newsletter, you probably have your very own Human Development or Psychology faculty advisor. Advisors are assigned based on an alphabetical breakdown by students' last names. Current students should stay with the same faculty advisor throughout their time here. You can find the name of your advisor in SIS. Students wishing to declare a HUD or PSYCH major or minor can find their assigned advisors at this link on the department website.
Some important information about advisors:
- Advisors want to talk with you – go see them!
- Psychology and Human Development advising assignments are currently the same. So…if you are a Human Development major and Psychology minor, you can get all of your advising from one person – talk about one-stop shopping!
- Once you are assigned an advisor, you stay with that person. We may change our alphabetical assignments each year, but you do not switch advisors when we do. We want you to get good, continuous advising from the same person!
- Your faculty advisor can answer questions about the major/minor, overall graduation requirements, and General Education. The Academic Advising Office is absolutely wonderful, but after you declare a major, you should work with your Human Development/Psychology faculty advisor.
- What do you do if you have a concern about your advisor, or if you want to change advisors? Talk to that person directly and/or consult with a Department Chairperson: Regan Gurung (Human Development) and/or Georjeanna Wilson-Doenges (Psychology).
