Self-Assessment Panic Disorder & Anxiety Attack Quiz
I thought it would be helpful to devise a quiz that you can fill out to see if how you act and think would fit into the pattern of Panic Disorder or anxiety. I know most people who read this will probably know if they are suffering anxious feelings. However there is large number of people (including myself) who at the start of their symptoms had no idea that they were suffering from this condition.
The quiz is no substitute for having a proper diagnosis but it will help identify if you are likely to be suffering from panic attacks. Please answer the following questions below truthfully. It may be easier to print off the page to score and add up your total.

Add up your total number of points. If the TOTAL is greater than 105 then it's likely you are suffering from panic attacks or anxiety. Therefore I would recommend you see your GP and certainly read other articles on the Positive Panic Attack Blog which will help you overcome this condition. For a more structured approach I recommend you read my free eBook below.
|"I must say a word about fear. It is life's only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever, treacherous adversary, how well I know. It has no decency, respects no law or convention, shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unerring ease. It begins in your mind, always. One moment you are feeling calm, self-possessed, happy. Then fear, disguised in the garb of mild-mannered doubt, slips into your mind like a spy. Doubt meets disbelief and disbelief tries to push it out. But disbelief is a poorly armed foot soldier. Doubt does away with it with little trouble. You become anxious. Reason comes to do battle for you. You are reassured. Reason is fully equipped with the latest weapons technology. But, to your amazement, despite superior tactics and a number of undeniable victories, reason is laid low. You feel yourself weakening, wavering. Your anxiety becomes dread.
Fear next turns fully to your body, which is already aware that something terribly wrong is going on. Already your lungs have flown away like a bird and your guts have slithered away like a snake. Now your tongue drops dead like an opossum, while your jaw begins to gallop on the spot. Your ears go deaf. Your muscles begin to shiver as if they had malaria and your knees to shake as though they were dancing. Your heart strains too hard, while your sphincter relaxes too much. And so with the rest of your body. Every part of you, in the manner most suited to it, falls apart. Only your eyes work well. They always pay proper attention to fear.
Quickly you make rash decisions. You dismiss your last allies: hope and trust. There, you've defeated yourself. Fear, which is but an impression, has triumphed over you.
The matter is difficult to put into words. For fear, real fear, such as shakes you to your foundation, such as you feel when you are brought face to face with your mortal end, nestles in your memory like a gangrene: it seeks to rot everything, even the words with which to speak of it. So you must fight hard to express it. You must fight hard to shine the light of words upon it. Because if you don't, if your fear becomes a wordless darkness that you avoid, perhaps even manage to forget, you open yourself to further attacks of fear because you never truly fought the opponent who defeated you."

Apartments, water park on the way at Arlington Downs
After years of planning and preliminary work, construction on phase one of the new Arlington Downs development in Arlington Heights will get under way in a few weeks, developers say.
The Argent Group, which owns the 25-acre former Sheraton hotel site near Arlington Park, has been doing exterior work for several months but plans to break ground on the first of two luxury rental apartment towers in early March, said partner David Trandel.
Residents could be moving into the 214 luxury apartments by the end of 2013, he said.
"There have been a lot of positive things that have happened, and everything is moving faster now," Trandel said of recent developments.
The apartments will be developed by Barrington-based Stoneleigh Cos., and the parties are a few weeks away from closing on a $30 million construction loan that will allow interior work to begin. The hotel building will be taken down to nearly its shell and rebuilt out as apartments, Trandel said.
This will be the first Chicago-area development for Stoneleigh and will have amenities similar to those in a downtown Chicago high-rise, Trandel said, including a health club, restaurant and rooftop deck. Stoneleigh was founded in 2008 and has more than 3,000 apartments in Florida, Tennessee, Texas and Arizona.
"It's going to feel hip and cool and not be like the typical suburban apartment. It will feel like you're downtown," Trandel said.
Later parts of the project include expanding the former CoCo Key water park -- adding 10,000 square feet -- and reopening with a smaller hotel for families. Though Trandel can't yet say who will be operating the park, he said it is a major water park operator with locations at Wisconsin Dells and that he expects the deal to be finalized and announced in time for next month's groundbreaking.
Four Points by Sheraton also has been brought on to reopen as a smaller, limited-service hotel on the property, operating by fall of 2014.
The next phase will include bringing in retail and restaurants, such as Prasino, which has already filed a letter of intent for the project. Prasino -- which is the Greek word for "green" -- is a contemporary American restaurant with an eco-friendly philosophy. It already has locations in St. Charles, Chicago and La Grange.
The $250 million redevelopment at Euclid Avenue and Rohlwing Road received its final major approval from the Arlington Heights village board in June.
The hotel closed late in 2009, and the village staff estimates the development, when complete, could give Arlington Heights $1 million annually in sales-type taxes and provide property tax revenue totaling $4.2 million annually for various governments. The village has lost about $507,000 in revenue annually since the hotel closed.
While it may seem like discussion about the project has been going on for years, village officials cautioned that it does take a long time for large projects like Arlington Downs to get off the ground.
"Obviously we're anxious to see things getting going and we're seeing quite a bit of good activity. This is a very large project so everyone has to be a little patient with it getting going," said Charles Witherington-Perkins, the village's director of planning and community development. "We're very excited about it. It will be a terrific redevelopment plan."
The entire project is still on schedule to be completed in the next four years, Trandel said.

Four hot hairstyles for fall
Fall's hottest hairstyles include perfect and polished 1950s ponytails and pixie cuts inspired by Mia Farrow's late-1960s crop. The trendiest styles from fashion runways and the red carpet are pulled up, swept to the side or simply chopped off.
Top knot
This style seems to rule with leading ladies, as well as with tweens and twentysomethings who love Audrey Hepburn's hair in "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Salma Hayek and Molly Sims have been spotted recently with their hair piled up on the tops of their heads and coiled around like a dollop of whipped cream. The look is reminiscent of the 1960s and shows off a pretty face and high cheekbones. The Urban Outfitters set is also sporting this look, but in an edgier way, with hair on the sides slicked up against the head and the knot a bit tighter and more twisted than the coif that's been seen on the red carpet.
The style is likely to stick around for spring: Frédéric Fekkai stylist Renato Campora gave models at the Marchesa spring 2011 runway show in September a tight, braided top knot that sat toward the front of the head. To get this look, Campora applied a rich styling cream called Fekkai Essential Shea Tame & Style Pot de Crème. He flipped the head over so the hair fell toward the top, braided the hair, wound it around and then secured it to the crown of the head.
Pixie cut
Plenty of young celebrities also have cut off their hair for a 1960s-inspired gamine look that is evocative of Mia Farrow's in "Rosemary's Baby." Celebrities including Emma Watson, Carey Mulligan, Michelle Williams and, most recently, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz have chopped their once long, extension-filled and over-processed Hollywood hair to show off pretty faces and delicate features. Perhaps they are trying to drive the idea home that they are serious actresses, not to be lumped in with the 15-minutes-of-fame reality stars. (In Simpson-Wentz's case, it could be that her hair was fried from the black to red to platinum dye jobs she's been juggling the last few years.) Either way, cutting their hair so short is a gutsy move that sets them apart from the pack of over-styled starlets.
1950s ponytail
Another pulled-back look seen on the runway is the perky and flirty " Barbie-esque" ponytail like the kind that appeared in Louis Vuitton's fall 2010 fashion shows. The hair perfectly complemented the collection's full, below-the-knee skirts and heels. The key to this chic ponytail versus your running-errands-on-a-Sunday-afternoon pony is the sleek front and the flip at the ends. This may take more time to style than you're used to, but the look adds some sweetness to fall's cashmere sweaters and a "Mad Men" quality to holiday party dresses.
Side-swept braid
A style that started on the runways of designers such as Alexander Wang and Miu Miu when they showed their collections for spring 2010 seems to be sticking around with no signs of stopping. The loose and slightly disheveled side braid is being worn casually as well as with cocktail dresses on the red carpet. Actress Kate Mara recently paired a side-swept fish-tail braid with a pink one-shoulder cocktail frock at the 2010 Teen Vogue Young Hollywood party. On the street, stylish girls seem to be taking their cues from celebrities such as Mara and Kate Bosworth by finessing their hair into side-swept braids. If you've mastered the style, keep wearing it past fall. The side braid works perfectly with spring 2011's 1970s-inspired collections.

If UCLA beats both Arizona State and USC over the next two weeks, the Bruins will play in their third straight Pac-12 Championship.
"That's the thing we ask for, the opportunity and the chance to control our own destiny," quarterback Brett Hundley said. That's what we have right now."
But what if the Bruins don't win out? There's a chance they still end up playing for a spot in the Rose Bowl Game, though the path becomes convoluted.
The Trojans' upset win over Stanford on Saturday put them back into the division picture. Should UCLA lose the rivalry game, though, it could still end up on top of a three-way tie via the conference's tiebreak rules.
That occurs if: the Bruins beat ASU this weekend, but lose to USC in their regular-season finale; the Trojans lose to Colorado on Saturday; the Sun Devils lose to Arizona.
All three would then be tied for first in the division with 6-3 conference records. The head-to-head tiebreaker would be null, each team having lost to one other member of the trio.
The next deciding procedure would be their records against other Pac-12 South teams. In the three-way tie scenario, the Bruins would have only lost to USC. The Trojans would have fallen to both the Sun Devils and the Buffaloes, while ASU would carry losses against UCLA and Arizona.
Of course, none of that comes into play if UCLA loses on Saturday. The Sun Devils would clinch the division if they beat the Bruins — who have already survived do-or-die tests in Tucson and against Washington this month.
"I think you just try to take it one week at a time as much as possible," head coach Jim Mora said. "You regroup, and you go at it hard again. These are young, resilient kids."
Trust in line
The Bruins' offensive line has started three true freshmen for four straight games, and will likely do so through the rest of the season.
At this point, they're no longer the default reason for any offensive struggles — hardly the case when Hundley struggled in losses at Stanford and Oregon.
The redshirt sophomore is now the second-most accurate quarterback in the Pac-12, just 0.02 percent behind Oregon State's Sean Mannion with a 67.82 completion rate. He has gone three games without an interception, the longest stretch of his career.
"I think you guys have seen in the past couple of weeks, he's gone back to start to really have a lot of trust in his line," offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone said of Hundley. "For a few weeks, there wasn't that trust. I think he's really feeling good about those guys."
"All I do is sit back there and throw the ball," Hundley said. "They do all the work."
Fitts injured
UCLA defensive lineman Kylie Fitts will have surgery on his hand today, according to his Twitter.
The true freshman dislocated and fractured his right wrist last October, ending his senior season at Redlands East Valley High.
His absence should not have a marked impact on the defensive line, which caps most players at roughly 30 snaps per game. Fitts has notched one tackle this season.
He also missed part of spring practices with a sprained ankle, and part of fall camp due to dehydration-related cramps.

Google gave users a sneak peak of the latest incarnation of its Android platform, Android 3.0 or Honeycomb, the first version of Android created specifically with tablets in mind.
From the Google Mobile Blog:
Many of Android's existing features will really shine on Honeycomb: refined multi-tasking, elegant notifications, access to over 100,000 apps on Android Market, home screen customization with a new 3D experience and redesigned widgets that are richer and more interactive. We've also made some powerful upgrades to the web browser, including tabbed browsing, form auto-fill, syncing with your Google Chrome bookmarks, and incognito mode for private browsing.
Although I still don't understand what "incognito mode" is -- it sounds interesting, but Google representatitves couldn't be reached for comment -- the 3D Google Maps is quite impressive (see the video below to view it.)
Google came out with Android 2.3, or Gingerbread, update in December so the quick turnaround of Android 3.0 is a bit surprising. However, Android 2.3 is still mainly for smartphones with small displays while 3.0 is for Android tablets with larger screens -- mainly because mobile apps made for smartphones look a little wonky or miniaturized on tablets. Motorola announced its new Xoom tablet will be running Android 3.0 and will be available in March from Verizon Wireless.

Migraine Hangover & Recovery Day
The five-day migraine let up! I'd like to be celebrating by cleaning the bathroom, but am instead still idle, waiting for the migraine hangover to pass. I'm sluggish, vaguely headachey and spacey while my body sorts itself after the "extreme neurologic disruption" (I just love that phrase) of a migraine episode. Though the symptoms vary from person to person, anyone who has had a migraine know exactly what I'm talking about (as evidenced by the 120+ comments on an earlier post). What are your migraine hangover symptoms?

Warning Signs Your Identity Was Stolen
With all the news about data breaches, phishing scams, cyber-crimes, and even regular thefts, you should be on the look out for identity theft.
My preferred method to spot identity theft early, hopefully before it causes too much damage, is to regularly pull your free credit report and check it for any new lines that you did not open. Since you can get one report from each of Experian, Equifax and Transunin for free each year at annualcreditreport.com, I just rotate among the providers every 4 months or so.
Also, the FTC recommends that you should watch out for the following:
- You see withdrawals from your bank account that you can't explain.
- You don't get your bills or other mail.
- Merchants refuse your checks.
- Debt collectors call you about debts that aren't yours.
- You find unfamiliar accounts or charges on your credit report.
- Medical providers bill you for services you didn't use.
- A health plan won't cover you because your medical records show a condition you don't have.
- The IRS notifies you that more than one tax return was filed in your name, or that you have income from an employer you don't work for.
- You get notice that your information was compromised by a data breach at a company where you do business or have an account.
If you do spot potential identity theft, you should take immediate action.
First, place a fraud alert with the three credit bureaus. This will make it harder for someone to open new accounts in your name. When you have an alert on your credit report, a business must verify your identity before it issues new credit in your name. It's good for 30 days, but you can renew the fraud alert after 90 days.
Second, get your free credit reports to identify all possible instances of fraud.
Third, report the crime to your local police department and the Federal Trade Commission.
Fourth, call companies where the fraud occurred (and send a follow up letter) to close all the accounts opened in your name and let them know you will not be responsible for payment.
Fifth, contact the credit bureaus to correct your credit report.Current Fico Scores: 710 TU, 732 EQ

Would you ever suggest a credit freeze?
- Posts
- 133
With a credit freeze, you will need to pay $3 - $10 at each credit bureau to put it in place, and then pay again to unfreeze it. It can be very effective - since no one will be able to open a new account in your name. Bit it also means you will need to pay to unfreeze it to open any new credit. So it can start adding up in cast.
You may want to try a fraud alert. With a fraud alert, the credit bureau needs to confirm with before approving new credit. It is free, and good for 90 days. You can also renew it every 90 days. So this is a much more management solution.
Neither of these is a true lockdown. They are great from preventing someone from opening a new account using your identity. But they will not stop anyone from:
- Using a stolen credit card number
- Changing the address for your bills
- Filing an income tax return in your name
- Medical identity theft - where your medical insurance and identity is stolen for treatment
So while either a credit freeze or fraud alert can be helpful in thwarting identity theft, they will not eliminate it entirely.Current Fico Scores: 710 TU, 732 EQ

… I always say, especially when it comes to ED's and medication- specifically anitdepressants and children/adolescents.
It's a call that I personally feel many clinicians make way too early before steady gains in weight, and full nutrition have been sufficiently addressed, and this takes time. As parents, we see a significant change in mood with increased nutrition, as well as the opposite when our children are not eating enough or metabolizing properly during refeeding and recovery.
Of course this will be an intimately personal and individualized decision, and antidepressants, without a doubt, have helped countless numbers of inividuals from seemingly endless and needless suffering.
And you would want to have a physician who would have all the up to date, accurate, and forthright information in helping you make the best decision possible for your child, but after reading Dr Turner's published report/study as well as the New England Journal of Medicine's abstract about "selective reporting and clinical trials", and "efficacy overstated for antidepressants" I'm convinced it's vital to continue scrutinizing, as well as reseaching the use of antidepressants within the treatment of ED's; and question why some clincians seem a tad overzealous to prescribe them.
And as some counterbalance, not completely overlooking how antidepressants have assisted many, CEO David Shern of Mental Health America shared a brief response.

HOW TO: Winterize Your Irrigation System
It's time to winterize your irrigation system. And it's not one of those tasks you want to put off, because before you know it, it'll be too late. Winterizing is one of those thankless preventative tasks that, if done correctly, you won't even fully appreciate until next spring when you're not out there digging up water lines looking for those long spiraling, lengthwise cracks that reveal a classic freeze break.
Winterizing your irrigation system also can be one of the most cost-preventative things you can do for your business. However, winterizing procedures take time and must be completed before the first freeze occurs.
Shut off the water completely, making sure that no water is entering the system. The main shut-off valve for your irrigation system needs to be "freeze proof." If the main waterline breaks and allows water to get back into your system, you do not gain anything from the following steps.
Shut off automatic systems. Some irrigation systems offer a setting for shutting off the water flow while keeping the system up and running, but you're better off shutting the system completely off. This also saves electricity. But you'll need to plan on reprogramming the system in the spring. It also is a good idea to completely remove controllers from power supplies and store them, taking all steps necessary to protect the wiring. The greater the potential for periodic severe freezes, the more sense it makes to deactivate the system.
Analyze the system to find all possible locations for water entrapment in an exposed pipe or piece of equipment, and then take the necessary steps to thoroughly drain them.
Drain irrigation components that hold water. Open any component that allows water flow to make sure that no water is stored above the shut off. During the draining process, check sprinklers located in low spots where surface water could accumulate and drain back into the system. Do not overlook any openings where water could reenter the system.
Drain the water from the pipes. You can do this using gravity or by blowing out the pipes. Blowing out the pipes is more thorough and will ensure that you're getting the water out. The key to blowing out your irrigation system successfully lies not in high pressure but large volumes of air. You have to have enough air to push all of the water out of the system. With enough air, you only need to have about 50 psi to blow out most systems. It is a good idea to run air through your system twice with each winterization project.
Insulate components and valves above ground. You can use insulation tape for this. Do not block the air vents and drain outlets on your systems components.

Records and Mementos in a Family Bible
To augment our exhibit at the Hays-Heighe House at Harford Community College, we borrowed several 19th-century Bibles from the Harford County Historical Society. These were the oversized and gilded Bibles with tooled leather covers—incredible specimens.
Along with the Bibles came the contents. As the Manifold Greatness exhibit mentions, many families store personal keepsakes such as letters, pamphlets, prayers, obituaries, and other items in their heirloom Bibles.
One Bible we borrowed maintained a family record of the Titus family as far back as 1776. It also contained several interesting keepsakes. The photos here include a family record page, an obituary bookmark, and a prayer to "Good Saint Joseph" with a detailed reproduction of an etching mounted to intricate die-cut lace paper. The handwriting is beautiful on the family record page and the keepsakes were fascinating.
Iris Barnes is the Coordinator for the Hays-Heighe House, site of the current Manifold Greatness exhibit at Harford Community College, Bel Air, Maryland.
For more information, consult Family Bibles on the Manifold Greatness website.

The exhibit is in the first floor gallery of Byerly Hall at 8 Garden Street, Radcliffe Yard, Cambridge, MA 02138.
There will be a fellow's presentation by Elise Adibi at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, November 13, followed by exhibit opening.
From November 14 through December 20, the exhibit will be open weekdays from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
For this installation of paintings, Elise Adibi uses essential plant oils and oil paint to explore two senses—sight and smell—and create an intersensory environment. The essential plant oils used in aromatherapy are ephemeral; after they are mixed with oil paint, however, they become embodied. By using smell and sight, Adibi's installation makes us aware of the mutual becoming between viewer and object and the necessity of seeing the paintings in person.
Adibi received her MFA in painting from Columbia University in 2007 and has been awarded grants from the Fine Foundation, the Pittsburgh Foundation, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, and the Terra Foundation for American Art. Her work has been shown in numerous exhibitions, including those at the Andy Warhol Museum, the Armory Show, and the Drawing Center. It has also been reviewed in Artforum and the New York Times. Adibi is represented by Churner and Churner in New York City.

SUNY Canton Serves More Than 6,000 Students in 2011Tuesday, January 24th, 2012
More students and a fresh new look made 2011 a banner year of growth and innovation at SUNY Canton.
Approximately 6,092 students enrolled at SUNY Canton during the combined terms in 2011, according to SUNY Canton President Joseph L. Kennedy, including a record fall enrollment of nearly 4,000 students.
The 2011 total unduplicated headcount figure represents a 20 percent increase in the past two calendar years. In 2009, the College had a total combined enrollment of 5,103.
"We've grown our enrollment annually by offering in-demand majors taught by experienced and professional faculty who prepare students for their chosen careers." Kennedy said. "Our supplementary semesters and online enrollments are growing rapidly alongside our traditional course offerings. We are reaching more students than ever before with our competitive hands-on programs and online courses."
Among the semesters with the greatest growth were:
- Winterterm 2010-2011 had approximately 1,170 enrollments, up 46 percent from the previous year.
- Summer Session 2011 had approximately 1,430 enrollments, up 16 percent from the previous year.
- Fall 2011 semester had approximately 3,825 students, up almost 50 percent from Fall 2006, and up 75 percent from Fall 2000, breaking the College's all-time enrollment high.
In addition to the new enrollment highpoints, the College grew in almost every way. The following are some the highlights from the 2011 calendar year.
New Majors
SUNY Canton added bachelor's degrees in veterinary technology and health and fitness promotion. The veterinary technology degree gives students in the two-year program more advanced options and has become one of the most popular new majors for incoming freshmen. Health and fitness promotion is an extension of the physical therapist assistant program and allows continuing study options for the program's two-year graduates.
The new programs are continuing into 2012 and the College recently announced that it would be adding a Bachelor of Science in applied psychology for the Fall 2012 Semester.
New Buildings
SUNY Canton celebrated the completion of the new Grasse River Suites and the new Convocation, Athletic, and Recreation Center, nicknamed Roos House, during the fall 2011 semester. The College's two newest buildings have dramatically enhanced the overall atmosphere of the campus and significantly aided the College's overall growth.
- The $45 million Roos House added a new field house, ice rink, pool, fitness center, and office space for athletic and coaching staff. Between home games and student recreation, the building has become a hub of activity on campus.
- The $26 million Grasse River Suites offers upperclassmen an independent apartment-style living option on campus and is helping the College house more students than ever before. The newest residence hall was built without funding from New York State or its taxpayers.
The College is currently planning two additional residence halls to continue its overall physical expansion.
A New Look for canton.edu
SUNY Canton made significant design changes to its website, allowing for larger images and easier user navigation. In 2011, the website received more than 2.2 million visits and more than 5 million individual page views.
The largest growth in visits came from mobile devices. The college had more than 29,000 mobile visits in 2010, and more than 89,000 mobile visits in 2011.
Additionally, the website received visits from 191 countries, including Canada, Russia, China, India, England, South Korea, Germany and Japan.
Updated Commercials
To highlight the ongoing growth, the college updated its television commercials. Students highlight the most relevant additions and changes at the College, including new majors, new sports, and new buildings. The two new 30-second spots can be viewed on the College's YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/cantonpr/.
Kangaroos Move Forward
The SUNY Canton Kangaroos began its NCAA exploratory year, the first step in a process the College hopes will eventually lead to provisional and full-fledged Division III membership, The College began offering women's volleyball and men's golf in the past year, and new varsity teams in men's and women's lacrosse will begin play this spring.
College starts in High School
SUNY Canton received a $150,000 grant from the New York State Education Department in order to start the Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program on campus. The College also received a $200,000 grant from the State Education Department enabling them to work with Ogdensburg Free Academy, Massena High School and St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES as part of the Smart Scholars Early College High School program.

Security certifications
A list of Apple's publicly identified, active, and completed certifications.
ISO 27001 and 27018 Certification
Apple has received ISO 27001 and ISO 27018 certifications for the Information Security Management System for the infrastructure, development, and operations supporting these products and services: Apple School Manager, iTunes U, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Managed Apple IDs, Siri, and Schoolwork in accordance with the Statement of Applicability v2.1 dated 7/11/2017. Apple's compliance with the ISO standards was certified by the British Standards Institution. The BSI website has certificates of compliance for ISO 27001 and ISO 27018.
Common Criteria Certification
The goal, as stated by the Common Criteria community, is for an internationally approved set of security standards to provide a clear and reliable evaluation of the security capabilities of Information Technology products. By providing an independent assessment of a product's ability to meet security standards, Common Criteria Certification gives customers more confidence in the security of Information Technology products and leads to more informed decisions.
Through a Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA), member countries and regions have agreed to recognize the certification of Information Technology products with the same level of confidence. Membership along with the depth and breadth of Protection Profiles continues to grow on a yearly basis to address emerging technology. This agreement permits a product developer to pursue a single certification under any one of the Authorizing Schemes.
Previous Protection Profiles (PP) were archived and have begun to be replaced with the development of targeted Protection Profiles focusing on specific solutions and environments. In a concerted effort to ensure continued mutual recognition across all CCRA members, the International Technical Community (iTC) continues to drive all future PP development and updates towards Collaborative Protection Profiles (cPP) which are developed from the start with involvement from multiple schemes.
Apple began pursuing certifications under this new Common Criteria restructure with selected PPs starting in early 2015.

Denmark Assumes Chairmanship of Arctic Council
Denmark assumed chairmanship of the Arctic Council (AC) at the sixth Ministerial Meeting in Tromsø, Norway, in April 2009. More than 300 participants attended, including delegates from the eight arctic nations, observer states, and indigenous peoples' organizations.
Following on two years of Norwegian leadership, Denmark's program for 2009–2011 prioritizes peoples of the Arctic, the International Polar Year (IPY) legacy, climate change, biodiversity, megatrends in the Arctic, integrated resource management, operational cooperation, and the AC in a new geopolitical framework. Per Stig Møller, Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs, will serve as chair—he replaces Jonas Gahr Støre.
The Tromsø Declaration was also endorsed and signed at the meeting and provides guidance on the work of the Arctic Council under Danish leadership. Recommendations adopted by the AC encompass search and rescue, arctic shipping guidelines, infrastructure safety, oil and gas exploration, non-CO2 drivers of climate change, ocean management, and melting ice. The declaration also says that the AC is "deeply concerned by the escalating rate of warming of the arctic climate, which will likely also affect the rest of the world."
The 6th Ministerial Meeting was scheduled in conjunction with a meeting entitled Melting Ice: Regional Dramas, Global Wake-Up Call between former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, foreign ministers, and climate change scientists.
The chair of the AC rotates among member states every two years. Sweden is set to assume leadership in 2011. Norway, Denmark, and Sweden identified a common set of priorities for their successive chairmanships: climate change, integrated management of resources, IPY, indigenous peoples and local living conditions, and AC management issues. To continue the focus on common priorities and foster development of institutional memory, the AC Secretariat will remain in Tromsø for the duration of the three Nordic chairmanships.
Due to the increased activity and interest in the Arctic, the established schedule of biannual Senior Arctic Officials meetings and biennial ministerial meetings will be supplemented with meetings in alternate years on the political (deputy foreign minister or equivalent) level. The next ministerial meeting is scheduled for April 2011 in Greenland.
For more information, see the AC website, or contact the Secretariat (ac-chair [at] arctic-council.org).

Developers and government workers will meet side-by-side this week to start building the next generation of government mobile apps. The ModevGov event on Government Mobility Development will be held this week on Wednesday, February 26, in Rosslyn, Virginia.
According to event organizer Peter Erickson, interest in ModevGov has been high. "Keynote speakers like David Bray, CIO of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Lisa Wolfisch from the Census department, and more than 40 other speakers are a testament to the event itself," Erickson told ProgrammableWeb. "We currently have about a 50/50 mix of government mobile leaders and commercial attendees, which is exactly what we were looking for. We've also seen a strong response to our offer of free admission for veterans. This is important to us as one of our missions is to help vets reenter the workforce in the mobile space, which is so strong and will continue to be for years to come."
Erickson believes using APIs and open data will be a consistent theme across the day's agenda: "[APIs are] a big part of the discussion, and we'll hear a lot about this at the conference. From NYC's 311 initiative at the local level to the Census use of APIs to engage the developer community, there are countless examples of how APIs are driving a new kind of public-private partnership that starts at the developer."
With the continuing availability of open data via APIs from government agencies, civic hackathons being held regularly and hosted by government departments, and a widening discussion of the role that digital can play in reinventing government, Erickson and his team believe now is the time to host a conference focused on supporting developers and government workers to partner on new mobile apps aimed at connecting citizens to government services and engagement.
"We've been asked to do a government-focused conference that reaches the developer level for a few years," Erickson said. "The stars aligned, and here we are. The primary difference with our conference versus other mobile government events is that you'll see the developers playing a key role in our event and leading and taking workshops with how-to guides for getting the job done."
Developers can still register to attend. Erickson encourages anyone interested in "the convergence of data, devices, and possibilities" to participate. "The developer community has matured to a point where the possibilities are really limitless, and we want to capture and put that on display," he said.
By Mark Boyd. Mark is a freelance writer focusing on how we use technology to connect and interact. He writes regularly about API business models, open data, smart cities, Quantified Self, and e-commerce. He can be contacted via e-mail, on Twitter, or on Google+.

EMS session 5
On Friday 12 November 1886 the Edinburgh Mathematical Society began its fifth session. If this seems rather strange for a Society which began in 1883, we must remember that the second session of the Society (as well as the first) began in 1883. At this first meeting of the fifth session an address was given looking at the progress of the Society and also looking forward to the directions it should take:
Edinburgh Mathematical Society.
The first meeting of the fifth session of this Society was held last night in the Edinburgh Institution - Dr R M Ferguson, president, in the chair. On the occasion of demitting his office, Dr Ferguson delivered an address in which he congratulated the Society on its vigorous growth and encouraging prospects. He contrasted the state of mathematical education at the universities now with that which prevailed thirty years ago, and expressed a hope for the further improvement of these institutions by an increased staff of extra and infra-mural lecturers. In adverting to the position of mathematical masters in secondary schools, he thought that they should more frequently be entrusted with the highest authority. After a few remarks on the methods of mathematical tuition, he pointed out the desirability of continuing to widen the work of the Society in the interests of such professions as those of the engineer and the actuary. Thereafter Mr J S Mackay read a paper on the solutions of Euclid's problems with one fixed aperture of the compasses by the Italian geometers of the 16th century; and communicated a note from Mr R Tucker giving some novel properties connected with the triangle. Mr A Y Fraser read a note by Mr W Renton on the equivocal sign. Office-bearers for the session were elected as follows:-
President, Mr George Thom, M.A., Dollar;
Vice-president, Mr W J Macdonald, M.A., F.R.S.E.;
Secretary, Mr A Y Fraser, M.A., F.R.S.E.;
Treasurer, Mr John Allison, M.A.;
Committee, Mr R E Allardice, M.A.; Dr Ferguson, F.R.S.E.; Mr George A Gibson, M.A.; Mr William Harvey, B.A., LL.B.; Mr J S Mackay, M.A., F.R.S.E.; and Dr Thomas Muir, F.R.S.E.

Unfortunately I can't moderate the forum from my work, nor from my HTC.
Until then I'll read the topics, but it's difficult to respond to one, unless it's a short one.
Take care & till soon.

well car No2 is about 80% complete and the 3rd is barely started , but the bug got me and I started on the LOCO.
Like some of you suggested, the first one is the Center Cab one, on a 2 Axle Chassis.
Looking over the Parts, Hoods and cab, I realized that the hoods came from a Faller E Train Loco, it had a bunch of small detail on it. Trim, Louvers hatches etc.
Now the insanity struck. I shaved the details off with an exacto blade and started to sand down the rest with sandpaper. Not a fun job, but I hope all worth it.
Well here are the first pictures.
To finish the sanding job, I will try something new. There is a method to convert an electric toothbrush in to a mini sander. Will try this and see how it goes.
Its a slow start but a start.
Have a great day

William Shatner is known for his legendary vocal interpretations – and on Wednesday night's "Lopez Tonight," the star will have the chance to show his chops alongside the Internet's latest singing sensation.
Lin Yu Chun, 23, who has earned millions of YouTube views for his spellbinding take on Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" on Taiwan's "Super Star Avenue," will join Shatner on the '80s Bonnie Tyler classic, "Total Eclipse of the Heart." The budding star has earned comparisons to Susan Boyle, who also emerged onto the world stage after showcasing a stunning voice on a foreign talent show, in her case, "Britain's Got Talent."
Beyond Shatner's famous Priceline commercials, the former "Boston Legal" and "Star Trek" actor has released several albums over the years, including 2004's Ben Folds-produced "Has Been."
Additionally, in 1968, Shatner released his first album, "The Transformed Man," which became a cult classic after he covered classic songs like The Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."

The Rebirth of Chad Qualls
10 Comments
Sometimes all a pitcher/player needs is a change of scenery.
But I do think pitching coaches have their respective effectiveness. He's going to have to face one more batter in the AL with the DH but you guys have a very good coach that will make adjustments with Chad. I'd rather take my chances with Chad than I would Kerry Wood. Today's rubber game should be a great watch. Have fun at the game Double R.
The pictures of the concert were terrific. Sounds like the TROP was appropriately HOT!
So about this "horsing around" incident. Does either Balfour or Hickey get fined? I mean, wrestling or whatever they were doing doesn't sound like a smart idea. But then there have been so many freak injuries this season – from celebrations at the plate to squelching a sneeze.
I agree with some of that.
First off, Chad Qualls definitely needed a change of scenery. And he is a groundball pitcher, which works well with the Rays solid defense.
Secondly, hopefully Qualls works with someone other than Jim Hickey. His BS with Grant Balfour should have been his pink slip. "freak accident" my booty. Hickey sometimes tries to be their friend more than their Coach.
I lik what someone else said about Woods the other day…valium and vodka……hopefully both at the same time whenh he pitches in NYC.
Rays Renegade
Well congrats to your Rays on the Yankee series! It was quite a battle and look where you are now: 1 game behind first! Very impressive!
As for Qualls, I'm glad he has an opportunity for redemption.. let's hope he does better this time around!
Grant Balfour gets an all expense paid free trip to the DL, and will be out 4-6 weeks. Hickey gets probably only a smug look and maybe a finger pointed at him.
Hopefully the Rays have a Kangaroo Court that will fine Hickey enough to pay for a night on the town for the Rays Bullpen…But I think it is an issue-non issue now.
Hopefully this will be the Rays last straw with Hickey…But he seems to have nine lives.
Rays Renegade
Mimi so far he got the job done today. Qualls induced a inning ending double play and got the ground ball the Rays were hoping he would get to give them an opprtunity to get out of the inning with no problems.
So….Appearance #1 was a rousing success.
Rays Renegade
Well, we'll see how he handles pitching for a team that actually wins. That must be a good feeling for him, starting over like that. Lots of Dbacks probably wish they had that situation themselves.
I actually thought the D-Backs might hold their own this year in the N L West, but as we know expectations can be trumped fast by reality.
Qualls got a tremendous opportunity to turn his season and his confidence around by being picked up by a club that will ( hopefully) be in the Playoffs. Yesterday he did what he needed to do to start off on the right foot….Hopefully he will not need to take baby steps.
Rays Renegade
Still not sure on the Kerry Woods pick-up, but he has time to prove himself. Sometimes you get a bad reputation when you are unmotivated on a below par team.
But, both deserve a chance to try and eradicate any bad stats, plus pronote a few good entries into their 2010 records.
Could be worse…Could be Manny!
Rays Renegade
I was scratching my head when I heard the Rays got Qualls, because I heard about how bad he was (who didn't?). And I wondered why my Yankees got Kerry Wood. I guess you are right: guys deserve second chances!

Kabocha Soup with Pancetta and Herbs
(The above garnish can be done hours ahead, wrapping all, and refrigerating the herbs.)
Add olive oil to a large soup pot on medium-high heat and add the onion, stirring occasionally. Cook until slightly golden, season with a little salt and sugar. Add the squash, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf to the pot.
Add stock and water, and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 45 minutes. Puree in a blender until smooth, add water or stock to desired consistency. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice if needed.
Garnish in the bowls: Whipped crème frâiche in the center, topped with some herb salad. Surround this with the gingersnap crumbs and pancetta chips. (The garnished bowls can be done ahead, and placed on the table for a beautiful presentation.)
To serve, pour the warm soup on top of the pancetta and have them sit down to a fantastic and beautiful holiday-season first course.
Serves 12-15.

Why? Because tonight (the 16th) a new TV series, Story of Ireland, began.
Presented by Fergal Keane, it's a five-parter and tonight's episode raced from the earliest beginnings to the eve of the Norman invasion. It's on BBC2 at 1900 in England, Northern Ireland and Wales, and at 2320 in Scotland.
And on the 30th of May? Well, on that day episode 3, The Age of Revolution, promises to look at the 17th and 18th centuries… and 'how revolution in America and France paved the way for Ireland's 1798 rebellion.'

Pretty bad, according to Dimitri Rotov:
The mass-market nonfiction reader is a kind of crackhead in search of fiction-quality narratives. The "kick" in nonfiction that reads better than a novel is that "it's like, real man."
We need sociologists to study these people. Instead we get Civil War authors who serve their segment of this market with elaborately contrived master narratives, books gushing with "novelistic" anecdotes ripped out of their natural context (of diaries and letters), and stripped down "stories" featuring "characters" who amuse and entertain. The crackhouse that is Civil War history has its corner in the larger slum of nonfiction publishing, with suburbanites cruising through to score their stuff on the way to the beach. Party on dudes.
I always enjoy reading Rotov's thoughts on historiography, even though I have a great deal of respect for some of the authors he often singles out for criticism. Regardless of questions over which specific books are bad and which aren't, he's got a point here. There is undeniably a lot of shallow, superficial tripe getting cranked out in the name of popularized Civil War history.
Next time you have a minute, browse through some reader reviews of popular historical books at Amazon.com and note how many customers gush over works that made them feel like they were reading a novel, or caught them up in the story, or made them forget that they were reading a history book, and so on. If you can't enjoy a history book unless you forget that it is, in fact, a history book, then why exactly did you buy it and start reading it in the first place?
Apparently we've become so addicted to diversion that we have to treat ourselves like kids, absorbing little nuggets of information surreptitiously in the same way that a toddler will eat vitamins only when Mom slips them into some chocolate pudding. In this case, though, it's ourselves we're trying to fool: "It was so entertaining, I forgot I was reading a history book!" When thou readest history, let not thy left brain know what thy right brain doeth.
Indeed, when we compare the number of shallow and commercially driven Civil War books to the number of genuinely original studies, the results might look a little dismaying. The widespread interest in the war means that lots of commercially driven junk gets published because there are people who are willing to buy it. You don't get this level of commercial interest when it comes to, say, the Progressive Era or seventeenth-century English colonies, where more analytic or academic books are the norm, simply because there isn't as much of a market for popular books in those fields.
Still, I think it's easy to overstate the problem. Leave aside for a moment the ratio of mediocre Civil War books to very good Civil War books. Instead, compare the number of solid Civil War books getting published to the number of solid books being published in other historical fields of study, and I think the former discipline comes out looking pretty robust.
In fact, as someone whose special interests lie mainly in earlier periods of history, I don't think Civil War readers know how comparatively well off they are. I've lamented before how surprising the lacunae in early American historiography can be; we have major historical actors without modern biographies, fundamental questions unanswered, and critical events unexamined. You may not be entirely pleased with the available literature on a given Civil War topic, but chances are there is at least a literature in place, so that the student or scholar has some sort of foundation on which to build.
In any case, if you dislike commercialized historical writing, the best remedy is to avoid buying it. Publishers will keep cranking out infotainment as long as there's a market for it.

Yes. If you think your home is over-insured, ask your agent or insurer when they last made a replacement cost calculation specific to your home. These are done by insurers to figure out what it would cost if they had to rebuild your home after a major covered loss. (Like your home burning down.) If the information used in the calculation is wrong, you can end up with an insured value that's too low or too high.
Your tax assessment value, by the way, is not the value used for insurance purposes. The insurer needs to use a value that reflects an actual and realistic rebuild cost.
Also, your home insurance policy should not have the value of the land included as part of the dwelling coverage. Land is not considered to be insurable property on a home policy.

I love to search for blogs to read based on tags. I'll type in a word for whatever I'm in the mood for reading. Today I felt lead to uplift people, so I typed "mental health" in the tag search and began to read posts with that tag. I quickly found a lot of people that were hurting, struggling, and longing for connection. I decided to leave a quick little note on their posts. Just something to let them know they were seen, not just that I read their post. I wanted them to know I knew that struggle, I knew that pain, I knew that hurt, and they weren't alone. They had opened up and poured their heart out and I could see their loneliness in their words.
In the comments, I just shared a positive takeaway that I got from their post. No matter how down, dark, or sad their post was, there was a little hint of positivity in each of them. So I watered that seed of positivity. It just made me realize that we can help people and make a difference without knowing them, meeting them, or even leaving our house. I encourage you to go in search of posts based on tags that touch your heart. Leave a word of encouragement or a compliment. You never know the profound impact such a small gesture that doesn't cost you more than some keystrokes in a few seconds can do. ❤

Ranma_-_Akumu Shunminko - This one slipped through my radar somehow. I just love the opening scene! Ranma, Akane, InuYasha, Kagome, Lum, and Ataru, all together and meeting for the first time. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

I got around to start watching Inu Yasha.It's a lot better than I thought. I wish I had it subbed. I have to have the sound up too loud to hear the talking over the mood music, so I can't really watch it after work. boo hoo Watch it before work! Watch Genshiken 2 after work!

Technically (again), colleges don't have laws. They have policies.(I know I'm being picky, but confusion of policies with laws seems to be getting quite common, and it disturbs me more than a little.)
Dennou Coil - it's good to see an anime that could be for kids in terms of characters, theme, and lacking fanservice, but doesn't make you feel dumber for watching it.
Anyway, I'm liking Hiwou's War aka Clockwork Fighters. It's just a bit too much of a stretch of my imagination, but for its target audience, I think it would do wonders. Make kids interested in physics, and science, but without trying kind of thing. I think that's due to showing the applied physics, rather than demonstrating the math of it all. I also like the OP song/music. It's a rockin' little number. But then the music is interesting to me for all the little bits and pieces for the mood. Mandolins and other instruments I can't think the name of off the top of my head, and more than one musical catch phrase are used throughout the show. This would be a good show for American kids, but I wonder if it can't be brought to TV here, because of the killing taking place in the late Tokugawa shogunate era. Or if they think that it is too nerdy, or what...

The whole dopple thing made me think of Dennou Coil while I was watching it. It got pretty dark in the last episode. I am still trying to figure out where they are going with the story. Dennou Coil got sort of dark as well, now that I think about it.
I think the target audience for Clockwork Fighters is 10-12 years old. I guess. Never let a fact get in the way of a good story! Also, remember that here in Oregon the average age for a woman getting married was 12, and the men's average was 50. Do you think many people bothered to look after someone else's problem aka kids back then? They might have to feed them ya know!
lol does anything have worse continuity than Gundam?

St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Chestnut Hill, began the holiest week of the Christian calendar with a Choral Evensong "Meditation on the Passion of Christ" Palm Sunday afternoon, March 24. Presided over by the parish's rector, the Very Rev. E. Clifford Cutler, the service featured eight anthems sung by the parish's choir under the direction of Zachary Hemenway, music director and organist at St. Paul's Church.
The Evensong got underway with a beautiful rendition of Bach's "O Lamb of God, Pure and Spotless" by organ scholar Caroline Robinson. The massive Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ at St. Paul's is justifiably known for its romantic/symphonic stops, but not-quite-hidden in the middle of its 114 ranks lives and breathes the registrations of a baroque organ, and Robinson made use of them Sunday afternoon, offering tones that were clear yet warm, delineating lines with clarity and expressivity.
From the service's first choral offering — Thomas Weelkes' unaccompanied "Hosanna to the Son of David" — it was apparent that St. Paul's 50-plus-member choir was in top form. The choral sound was immaculately blended and set out the score's elegant counterpoint effectively.
Romanian-born Valentin Radu will lead his Ama Deus Ensemble in a performance of Bach's "St. John Passion" at 8 p.m. Friday, March 29, in the Kimmel Center's Perelman Theater. Several of the soloists have Chestnut Hill connections, including soprano Megan Monaghan, tenor Kenneth Garner and alto Jody Kidwell. Plus choristers Claudia Becker, Daniel Cantu-Hertzler, Elizabeth and Timothy Oliver, Andrea Smith and Tommie Borton Warder all hail from Chestnut Hill, while harpsichordist Bronwyn Fix-Keller lives in Roxborough.
"Bach's 'St. John Passion' is truly exquisite music," said Monaghan, who grew up in Chestnut Hill and now lives in Flourtown. "The beautiful translation selected by Maestro Radu will make for a moving performance, particularly on the occasion of Good Friday."
Garner, formerly the tenor soloist at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Chestnut Hill, said, "As a believer myself, it is exceptional to have the opportunity to perform a Passion on Good Friday. Bach's interpretation of St. John contains some of the most poignant settings in its stunning arias."
West Mt. Airy's Kidwell noted the surprising harmonic and rhythmic twists and turns in her first aria and the similarity in her second aria with those "heroic" arias composed by Handel for his operas.
Tickets are priced at $20, $40 and $70 and are available by contacting the Kimmel Center at 215-893-1999 or at KimmelCenter.org. The Ama Deus Ensemble can be reached at 610-688-2800.
The highpoint of the Saturday, March 23, concert by the Philadelphia Orchestra in the Kimmel Center's Verizon Hall came just before intermission. Guest percussionist Colin Currie jointed guest conductor Andrey Boreyko for a performance of Baltimore-born Christopher Rouse's "Alberich Saved." The work is a fantasy for solo percussion and orchestra based on the character of Alberich from Richard Wagner's four operas comprising "The Ring of the Nibelung." Rouse's work offers a closing piece centering on Alberich after the final moments of "The Twilight of the Gods," the final installment of "The Ring" cycle.
Boreyko wisely opened the concert with Hermann Zumpe's arrangement of the "Entry of the Gods into Valhalla" from "Das Rheingold," the first opera of "The Ring" cycle. He drew a warmly voiced, smoothly balanced sound from the Philadelphians that made me look forward to hearing Peter Tchaikovsky's "Symphony No. 5 in E minor" after intermission. I was sadly disappointed.
Whether as a result of Boreyko's rearrangement of the strings or simply as a consequence of his interpretation, I cannot say, but I found his reading of what is generally considered the finest of Tchaikovsky's six symphonies to be poorly voiced. Inner melodies were highlighted to the point of overwhelming the main motifs so consistently that one is forced to suppose that the effect was intentional. Saturday's rendition was ponderous.

Glowing Ice Cubes Warn You When You Drink Too Much
" In November, MIT grad student Dhairya Dand blacked out at a party and woke up in the hospital. Some people might use that as a wake-up call to lay off the tequila shots for a few weekends, but Dand, an engineer and former educational toy designer, did one better. Three weeks later, he had created a set of glowing ice cubes called Cheers that let you know when you're going too hard.
A circuit enmeshed in an edible jelly mold monitors the number of sips taken, using an accelerometer that tracks the drink's motion, and calculates how drunk you are based on a timer. Using three cubes with different LED lights, your drink changes color from green to orange to red, letting you know when you should take it easy. "

A mother wanted to discover her son's risk for certain diseases, so she mailed a DNA sample to genetics testing company 23and Me. The results made her cry: Her child's genetic profile was entirely inconsistent with his family's. What happened?
Turns out that there was a little bit of confusion at the 23andMe lab which meant that samples and results were mixed up:
Up to 96 customers may have received and viewed data that was not their own. Upon learning of the mix-ups, we immediately identified all customers potentially affected, notified them of the problem and removed the data from their accounts. The lab is now concurrently conducting an investigation and re-processing the samples of the affected customers and their accurate results will be posted early next week.
Thank God this wasn't a paternity test. [Discover]

On March 12, 2012 the Obama administration issued a final rule under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) that, among other things, requires many health insurers to charge all enrollees for elective abortions.[1] This requirement has surprised many people, who thought that they had been assured the new health care reform act would not make taxpayers fund abortions.
In fact, this final rule simply repeats the language of the Act itself (PPACA, §1303 (b)), adding some details already issued as part of guidelines or executive order shortly after the Act was signed into law in March 2010. While some have misunderstood or misrepresented the Act's role in funding abortions, the new rule confirms that analyses by the Catholic bishops' conference were accurate on this point.[2]
Under this Act, millions of American taxpayers will be forced to help support abortion coverage, in two ways:
(1) Through their tax dollars all taxpayers will be forced to subsidize overall health plans that cover elective abortions, contrary to the policy of the Hyde amendment and every other major federal program, and
(2) Many of these Americans will also be forced to pay directly for other people's abortions. Some will say this is technically not "tax funding of abortions," because the required surcharge will be a premium payment rather than a tax payment as such. But what the payment is called is less important than what it actually does. Details follow:
While many private health plans now cover abortions, then, what is new about the Affordable Care Act is this:
[1] See the final rule, "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; Establishment of Exchanges and Qualified Health Plans; Exchange Standards for Employers," at 77 Fed. Register 18310-18475 (March 27, 2012), available at www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-03-27/pdf/2012-6125.pdf. A pre-publication copy of the rule was released on March 12. Payments for abortion are discussed at pages 18406, 18429-30, and 18472-3.
[2] For example, see this legal analysis of the Act and President Obama's executive order of March 2010, http://old.usccb.org/healthcare/03-25-10Memo-re-Executive-Order-Final.pdf, and this lengthy analysis of the final Act, pages 3-4, http://old.usccb.org/healthcare/PPACA-Analysis-5-24-10.pdf.
[3] Here the phrase "elective abortions" refers to abortions beyond those for which direct federal subsidies are allowed under the Hyde amendment and similar longstanding provisions. For many years Hyde has allowed funding of abortions only in the rare cases of danger to the mother's life, or cases of rape or incest. The Hyde amendment also has long forbidden federal tax subsidies for overall health plans that include elective abortions; that part of the Hyde amendment is ignored in PPACA and violated by its policy.
