The Billings Family: Backyard fence is complete!
The next job was to dig the holes with an auger. Aaron's dad came over to help dig those, which was a huge help!
Next, Aaron bought 28 bags of quick-rete to fill the holes and set the posts. Oh, did I mention we bought so much wood for this project and it was all so heavy!
I was Aaron's apprentice. I helped him through the whole process and even used the drill a few times! We got into a rhythm of putting these panels up.
In the picture below you will see the back yard already had a privacy fence in the back, so Aaron just had to extend it a bit. Our yard feels so much bigger now!
Doesn't he look so clean and handsome now? He is so soft and lovable, just like always.
Come and see our fence and visit us, ok?!

I'm totally impressed you guys! I knew you were working hard, but it was so fun to see all the pictures! Casey is one lucky boy to get a whole new fenced backyard. And, it's just so pretty looking too! Way to go! And, yes, can we come visit? :)

Kratisto Investing: Seeking Alpha: Fear And Noise Creating Opportunity In Freeport-McMoRan
Seeking Alpha: Fear And Noise Creating Opportunity In Freeport-McMoRan
It may sound sarcastic or cynical, but if the news flow around copper miner Freeport-McMoRan (FCX)
is terrible, it's probably time to think about a good entry price. Certainly, there are worries pushing down on valuation today -- worries tied to production costs, worries tied to global growth and implied demand, and worries tied to ongoing saber-rattling from the Indonesian government. The reality, though, is that this is what it looks and sounds like when companies like this bottom out. When the news turns positive, that may just be a signal to look for the exit.

Dr Kevin Bonham: 2016 House Of Reps Figures Finalised
I'm not sure exactly when this happened, but sometime in the last two weeks while I have been away overseas, the AEC has released the final detailed set of federal election results. Although all House of Representatives seat results were already known, the release of final information on two-party preference flows and preference distributions is very useful for many things, including assessing the performance of polls. Final results are here. This article is a general roundup of various details, and soon I will be using the figures to conduct an in-depth review of polling accuracy at the election, and after that to start a new polling aggregate model. There is quite a backlog of other articles that I want to write, so I hope I can get through as many of these as possible in the next three weeks before another round of fieldwork. The final two-party preferred result is 50.36% to the Coalition to 49.64% to the ALP. This represented a clear success for the last-election method of preference prediction, which would have predicted a 2PP of 50.53% for the Coalition based on the primaries actually cast. The respondent-preferences method (on average across polls using it) expected a shift in preferencing large enough to shift the 2PP result by at least 0.6 points (ie Labor would have won the 2PP). This continues the superior track record of last-election preferences, and I will continue to treat respondent preferences with caution. The major source of what error there was in preference prediction was the appearance of the Nick Xenophon Team as a lower house party. Although NXT polled only 1.85% nationally, these split 60.2% to Labor, increasing Labor's 2PP by 0.26 points compared to treating NXT as like "others" from the previous election. This was partly counterbalanced by Green preferences being all of 1% (oooh!) better for the Coalition than in 2013. Overall both Greens and the generic Others preferenced very similarly to in 2013.
These are the preference flow figures I'll probably be referring to a lot in the next few years:
* Greens to Coalition: 18.1%
* Others including NXT and PHON to Coalition: 50.8
* NXT to Coalition: 39.8
* PHON to Coalition: 50.5
* Others excluding NXT and PHON to Coalition: 52.9
* Coalition loss from three-cornered contests: 0.13 points
This was the weakest ever flow of One Nation preferences to the Coalition. At previous elections they have generally flowed in the 54-56% range.
As for the remaining 0.27 points of error in my polling aggregate's prediction of the national 2PP (I had it at 50.8%), this is a modest error well inside what could easily occur just by sample noise in the final polls. But I suspect the major cause of it was that I continued to apply a 0.3-point global house effect correction based on apparent (but far from clearcut) evidence that the polls overall had been leaning slightly to Labor. However in the final week, the difference between Newspoll and Essential on the one hand, and the remaining polls on the other, suddenly more or less disappeared. The net 2PP swing was 3.13%. As a uniform swing this would have resulted in fifteen Labor gains. Labor actually gained sixteen seats, more than cancelling out the impact of personal vote effects with unusually large swings in target marginals in Tasmania, NSW and Queensland. Seats lost to Labor that were on margins above the swing were Macarthur, Bass, Macquarie, Cowan, Burt (new seat without sitting member), Herbert and Longman. Seats won by the Coalition that were on margins below the swing were Robertson, Banks, Capricornia, Petrie, Chisholm (gained) and Page. These were all Coalition sophomore effect seats (mostly double sophomore), except Chisholm where the sitting member had retired.
There were a massive seventeen non-classic seats (seats where the final contest wasn't Labor vs Coalition) at this election:
ALP vs Green (3): Grayndler, Batman, Wills
Coalition vs Green (3): Warringah, Higgins, Melbourne
Ind vs Coalition (3): Indi, Cowper, New Englan
Ind vs Labor (1): Denison
NXT vs Coalition (3): Barker, Mayo, Grey
ALP vs NXT (1): Port Adelaide
KAP vs Coalition (1): Kennedy
Coalition vs One Nation (1): Maranoa
National vs Liberal (1): Murray
Melbourne had been Coalition vs Labor at the previous election. At this election Labor won the 2PP in the electorate with 66.6% of the 2PP vote, but finished outside the top two after preferences. I am not aware of any previous federal case of this.
As explained last time it is possible to use the various statistics to derive 2PP Labor-vs-Coalition splits for voters who put the "non-classic" candidate ahead of both the majors. In rare cases it is possible to find the exact 2PP split for voters who voted 1 for the non-classic candidate. After the 2010 election there was a very large amount of debate about which side's voters had supported various crossbenchers but since then it has been less topical. But for the record, here's a table of these figures:
The table also shows what percentage of the votes the figures are based on were #1 votes for the non-classic contender. This is especially relevant in Warringah, where the votes the Greens had when they were excluded were almost as much from other parties as their own. As usual, voters who preferred the Greens over both major parties in non-classic seats strongly preferred Labor over the Coalition. Denison voters for Andrew Wilkie also did so, by about ten points more than last time. (The table above omits the exact split for Denison for 2013 which was 61.7%). We've already seen that NXT voters tend to prefer Labor over Coalition by about 60:40, while Katter voters in Kennedy and One Nation voters in Maranoa both leaned to the Coalition.
For Indi, there is a very rare situation: one of the major parties (Labor) finished fourth. Therefore it is not possible to calculate how many of Cathy McGowan's voters preferred Labor to Liberal by the same method. @sorceror43 has estimated 72%. I am still exploring some other methods of deriving an exact figure here but they will probably end in failure.
Strongest preference flows
As in 2013, the list of the strongest known preference flows in particular seats is dominated by Green to Labor flows. The top ten I can find are:
1. 92.54%, Duncan McGauchie (Liberal) to Damian Drum (National), Murray, Vic
2. 90.48% Jim Casey (Green) to Anthony Albanese (Labor), Grayndler, NSW
3. 90.28% Terry Morgan (Green) to Susan Templeman (Labor), Macquarie, NSW
4. 89.53% Sylvie Ellsmore (Green) to Tanya Plibersek (Labor), Sydney, NSW
5. 89.38% Carly Saeedi (Green) to Andrew Leigh (Labor), Fenner, ACT
6. 89.17% Terrill Riley-Gibson (Green) to Ross Hart (Labor), Bass, Tas
7. 89.15% Rosemary Glaisher (Green) to Lisa Chesters (Labor), Bendigo, Vic
8. 87.98% Tamara Ryan (Green) to Mike Kelly (Labor), Eden-Monaro, NSW
9. 87.86% Sophie Guy (Green) to Kate Ellis (Labor), Adelaide, SA
10. 87.73% Hugh McKinnon (Green) to Jenny Macklin (Labor), Jagajaga, Vic
The figure in bold for Grayndler is the flow from votes that placed Casey ahead of both the majors, not just from Casey's own votes. The flow from Casey's #1 votes to Albanese is probably a bit higher.
Grayndler, Sydney, Bendigo, Macquarie and Fenner (then Fraser) all made this list last time as well. However, Batman, which may well have actually had the strongest Green-Labor flow in 2013 (counting only #1 votes), falls well down the list. The weakening of Green preference flow to Labor in this seat was probably a result of Green-voter displeasure with David Feeney's performance.
The weakest Green-to-Labor preference flows for Coalition-vs-Labor seats were 56.7% in Fowler, 63.2% in Parkes and 63.7% in Calare. Among two-candidate-preferred preference flows from excluded candidates to one of the final two in their seat, 45 of the top 50 were Greens to Labor. The remainder were Labor and the Greens to McGowan in Indi, Socialist Alliance to Labor in Sydney, Greens to NXT in Mayo and Labor to Green in Higgins.
Winning from behind: the strange last laugh of PUP
Sixteen seats were won by the candidate who finished second on primaries - Batman by Labor against the Greens, Mayo by NXT against the Liberals, and all of these by Labor against the Coalition: Herbert, Hindmarsh, Cowan, Longman, Melbourne Ports, Griffith, Macquarie, Braddon, Lyons, Perth, Richmond, Moreton, Adelaide and Jagajaga. Of the fourteen Labor wins, in ten cases Labor had a large lead if Green preferences were factored in. In these ten seats the Coalition would have needed at least 64.6% of fourth-party preferences to win (and in two the share of fourth-party preferences required was mathematically impossible.) I mention this because Senator Abetz has tried to blame Tasmanian seat losses on - among very many other things - the Recreational Fishers Party. While the RFP's preferences did flow fairly strongly to Labor, the Coalition needed a mid-60s share of non-Green preferences in both Braddon and Lyons. They didn't even hit their target off the Christian Democrat vote in Lyons, and barely did so in Braddon, so there was no way the Coalition were going to hold those seats whatever the Recreational Fishers voters did. The Recreational Fishers could not have caused the Coalition to get 88.4% of their Braddon preferences or 86.6% of their preferences in Lyons (the share of them needed to win) even had they wanted to!
The four seats where Green preferences weren't the single clear deciding factor in Labor's favour were:
* Melbourne Ports, where the Coalition would have won had it got 58.2% of the fourth-party vote, but the minor candidates were mostly left-wing.
* Longman, where the Coalition needed only 47.8% of the fourth-party vote but was stymied by One Nation (43.5% to Coalition) preferencing Labor. It is worth noting here that even had the One Nation vote split 50-50, Labor would still have won off the preferences of the Greens and the minor candidates. However the actual flow of One Nation preferences left the LNP needing a 56.7% split off the mostly left-wing minor candidates; Wyatt Roy actually got 44.5%.
* Hindmarsh, where the Coalition needed only 42.1% of the fourth-party vote but the fourth-party vote was mostly NXT, meaning that Green and NXT preferences were about equally responsible for Labor's win.
* Herbert. The Coalition needed 48.3% of the fourth-party vote and got almost exactly that from One Nation (even though this was a shade below the national One Nation to Coalition share - had One Nation preferences split 50-50, the Coalition would have retained the seat). However they failed to hit the mark on the preferences of each of Katters Australian Party, Glenn Lazarus Team and, in a ridiculous irony, Palmer United Party. As noted last time Clive Palmer made some ridiculous claims about PUP preferences deciding the 2013 election. PUP polled over 700,000 votes in 2013 but there was not a single seat where a 50:50 split of PUP preferences would have led to a different outcome, and there were only ten seats (seven won by the Coalition and three by Labor) where any split of PUP preferences (however unlikely) could have changed the winner. The impact of PUP on the 2013 lower house election was basically just this: they won one seat.
In 2016 the Palmer United Party ran just a single lower house candidate, Martin Brewster, who happened to run for the seat of Herbert which then happened to be the closest in the nation. Mr Brewster polled 315 votes, which is 0.04% of PUP's national vote from 2013. And yet, these preferences split 198-117 to Labor, causing Labor to gain 81 votes, which exceeded the winning margin of 37. It might thus be (a little cheekily) argued that 315 Palmer United Party voters had as much impact on the 2016 outcome (one seat) as 709,035 PUP voters did in 2013.
On the other side of the coin, the Coalition won two seats where they were behind after considering Green preferences. In Forde, the LNP needed 51.4% of Others preferences to win but these preferences were dominated by Family First and Rise Up Australia. In Gilmore, the Liberals needed 57% but the only fourth party candidate was a Christian Democrat, so they did it easily.
Other sections may be added to this piece if I notice anything else worth adding, or if there are any interesting requests that are practical to answer here.
And see also Antony Green.

US09890635
The present invention relates to a medicinal product with a textile component such as a wound compress having a surface containing a multiplicity of openings arranged in at least two hole patterns. The diameter of one opening of one hole pattern deviates from the diameter of an opening of another hole pattern by about at least a factor of 5. Better wound healing is achieved by adapting the structural and mechanical characteristics of the medicinal product to the characteristics of the target tissue.
Further possible uses of medical products with a textile component are, for example, the treatment of abdominal wall defects in the groin area or for strengthening soft tissue in other places. A corresponding technique is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,569,273 which describes a hexagonal net structure of polypropylene monofilament yarns. Large openings are constructed between adjacent vertical mesh rows, into which body tissue can grow into the implant because of the pore structure. However, this product does not promote angiogenesis.
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic cross section through a medical article according to one illustrative embodiment of the invention,
A spacer layer 11 with high shear force takeup consisting of gel-modified yarns permits absorption and desorption and the mechanical binding of the compress material. The shear force takeup permits the distribution of local pressure loads, that is to say it has a cushion function and permits stress distribution, which leads to uniform loading of the wound surface and thus avoids negative local stresses. Lastly, the compress 1 has an embroidered layer 12. The fabric 11 is designed as a spacer in relation to the antibacterial layer 10 and as a material which takes up exudate. On this fabric 11, which is advantageously formed as a knit, lies the separately produced embroidered layer 12 which is preferably connected at its side edges to the compress 1, for example by ultrasonic welding. Reference number 13 denotes stimulation points which are formed in the layer 12, particularly in the embroidery technique. In the form represented, they form flat to semi-round protuberances, stimulation points 13, facing toward the wound surface and they can also protrude from the side facing away from the wound surface. The stimulation points 13 can all be the same size or can differ in size individually or in groups. The word “size” in this case refers both to the height above and below the surface of the embroidery and also to the surface area in the plan view of the figures. Gradients in size can be provided, for example with the stimulation points 13 with the largest surface area and the smallest thickness in the middle of an embroidery, and the stimulation points 13 with the smallest surface area and the greatest thickness at the edges of the embroidery. Any other combination of thicknesses and surface areas can be used.
1. A medical product with a textile component which forms a surface, said surface made from an embroidery, wherein the surface has a multiplicity of openings, there being at least two patterns of holes with groups of openings, each said hole pattern having a surface, the diameter of one opening of one hole pattern deviating from the diameter of an opening of another hole pattern in each case by about at least a factor of 5 from one another, and wherein a multiplicity of compact, rigid embroidered stimulation points is provided between the openings of the surface of each hole pattern, each said compact, rigid embroidered stimulation point having a surface, said stimulation point surface protruding from the textile component by several millimeters as a flat to semi-spherical protruberance, and further wherein the stimulation points serve as an angiopolar layer that inhibits tissue ingrowth thereon.

NFL Skinny: Week 3 preview - Yahoo Sports
What's buzzing: NFL suspends Johnny Manziel four games for violating substance abuse policy NFL Skinny: Week 3 preview
September 23, 2009 5:05 AM
In the frantic lead up to the regular season, I forgot to join a pick'em pool. So I'm adding a score prediction to each game module below, if only to further humble myself. Alright, let's dive in …
Week 3 PreviewA snapshot of each Week 3 matchup
WASHINGTON REDSKINS @ DETROIT LIONS Key Stats:
REDSKINS – 4.4 YPC allowed; 184 YPG passing allowed
LIONS – 4.5 YPC allowed; 8 TD passes allowed
What to watch for: Washington's offense has scored the 2nd-fewest points in the NFL (26). Head coach Jim Zorn is feeling the heat this week for what is being construed as suspect play-calling. Count on the Redskins to open things up a bit against Detroit, especially with RG Randy Thomas(notes) lost for the season. As they say, it's easy to mask offensive line deficiencies through pass blocking rather than run blocking. QB Jason Campbell(notes) suffered drops of potential TD passes by FB Mike Sellers(notes) and WR Devin Thomas(notes) in Week 2, and it seems likely that he'll look to lean on the more trusted veteran trio of RB Clinton Portis(notes), TE Chris Cooley(notes) and WR Santana Moss(notes) this week.
The good news for rookie QB Matthew Stafford(notes), who has thrown five picks in two games, is that the Redskins have just one interception in two games. Regardless of that fact, though, the Lions will likely look to ride RB Kevin Smith(notes) fairly heavily once again (he rushed 24 times in Week 2 v. MIN) – the Redskins have allowed a healthy 4.4 YPC. And, of course, they'll take their shots with WR Calvin Johnson(notes) when the opportunity looks ripe. Smith and Johnson remain the only two Lions worth fantasy consideration, and I'd feel comfortable rolling with both this week.
Calvin Johnson, Kevin Smith, Clinton Portis, Santana Moss, Chris Cooley
Washington Defense, Antwaan Randle El(notes), Detroit Defense, Jason Campbell
Matthew Stafford, Bryant Johnson(notes), Brandon Pettigrew(notes)
Detroit Defense, Ladell Betts(notes)
WAS RG Randy Thomas (triceps) is out for the season; WAS CB Fred Smoot(notes) (rib) missed Week 2 and status is not yet known for Week 3; DET LB Ernie Sims(notes) (shoulder) is expected to miss at least Week 3;
GREEN BAY PACKERS @ ST. LOUIS RAMS Key Stats:
PACKERS – 3.6 YPC allowed; 217 YPG passing allowed; 6 INTs
RAMS – 4.4 YPC allowed; 258 YPG passing allowed
What to watch for: Not a bad week for QB Aaron Rodgers(notes) to get well. The Rams have allowed a 66.7% completion rate to opponents and have managed to sack the QB just once. WR Greg Jennings(notes) was held without a catch on five targets last week. Don't be surprised if he's targeted double-digit times on Sunday. The Rams have also allowed 80+ yards to a TE in each of the first two weeks, which is to say, TE Jermichael Finley(notes) (56 yards in Week 2) needs to be strongly considered this week. Expect RB Ryan Grant(notes) to have a very workman-like 20/80/1 type of performance.
The Rams, who have just one touchdown in two games, are dealing with some injury issues on the offense line – C Jason Brown(notes), RT Jason Smith(notes) and LT Alex Barron(notes) could all be either limited or out in Week 3. This could make it tough for the team to run against a GB defense that has allowed just 3.6 YPC. But expect STL to try, and it won't hurt if both Packers starting safeties are out. RB Steven Jackson pounded out 6.1 YPC against WAS in Week 2 and he absolutely needs to be handling the ball in some fashion 25+ times this week. The Rams were fairly equitable in their run/pass distribution last week. They'll shoot for balance once again, and when they go to the air, WR Laurent Robinson(notes) has quickly established himself as QB Marc Bulger's(notes) go-to guy. WR Donnie Avery(notes) looks droppable in shallow and mid-sized leagues. He has just seven catches for 50 yards in two games, and he's lost a fumble in each. The team just doesn't buy Bulger enough time to take advantage of Avery's speed deep.
Green Bay Defense, Aaron Rodgers, Greg Jennings, Donald Driver(notes), Ryan Grant, Steven Jackson, Laurent Robinson
Randy McMichael(notes)
Marc Bulger, Donnie Avery, St. Louis Defense
Jermichael Finley, James Jones(notes)
STL RT Jason Smith (knee) is likely questionable for Week 3; STL C Jason Brown (knee) is day-to-day; STL LT Alex Barron (thigh) is likely probable for Week 3; GB FS Nick Collins(notes) (shoulder) could be questionable for Week 3; GB SS Atari Bigby(notes) is expected to miss at least Week 3; GB LT Chad Clifton(notes) (ankle) is likely doubtful for Week 3
Green Bay 31, St. Louis 13
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS @ MINNESOTA VIKINGS Key Stats:
49ERS – 2.7 YPC allowed
VIKINGS – 158 YPG passing allowed; 7 Sacks
What to watch for: We may actually get to see some gun-slinging from QB Brett Favre(notes) this week. He's averaged just 24 pass attempts through two weeks, but the clear strength of the 49ers' defense, so far, has been against the run. Expect RB Adrian Peterson to still see a sizeable workload and he could turn out nice production despite the 49ers' success against the run – SF hasn't faced a dominating, physical running game like the Vikings', yet. Hybrid WR Percy Harvin(notes), in the matter of two weeks, has proven to be a threat that the opposition has to be prepared for. MIN has used him on reverses, quick screens, Wildcat formations and everything in between, and he's scored in each of the first two games. If MIN can buy Favre time, which they haven't been too good at, thus far, the threats of Peterson and Harvin should open up the deep ball for WR Bernard Berrian(notes) for the first time this season. For the record, the 49ers' LB crew is excellent, and they've been a TE-squashing unit since the beginning of last season. Which means TE Visanthe Shiancoe(notes) is avoidable this week.
We know after two weeks that SF is committed to the run. The team does not pass protect well (8 sacks allowed), and the strength of QB Shaun Hill(notes) is his efficiency and game-management skills. Considering how proficient MIN is at getting to the QB, it's going to be business as usual for RB Frank Gore(notes) – he's likely to get 20+ carries even if he's struggling to reach 2.0 YPC like we saw in Week 1, and despite the fact that he's dealing with a mild ankle sprain. With time in the pocket expected to be an issue, don't count on much from WRs Isaac Bruce(notes) and Josh Morgan(notes). But TE Vernon Davis(notes), who has 13 targets through two games, could be a big factor – Minnesota has allowed a combined 100 yards to lesser brand TEs Robert Royal(notes) and Brandon Pettigrew.
Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Defense, Frank Gore, Vernon Davis, Percy Harvin
Brett Favre, Bernard Berrian, San Francisco Defense
Visanthe Shiancoe, Chester Taylor(notes), Isaac Bruce, Josh Morgan, Shaun Hill
Sidney Rice(notes)
SF RBs Frank Gore (ankle) and Glen Coffee(notes) (hip) are expected to play in Week 3;
ATLANTA FALCONS @ NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS Key Stats:
FALCONS – 5.1 YPC allowed;
PATRIOTS – 162 YPG passing allowed; 0 INTs
What to watch for: Thanks to the addition of TE Tony Gonzalez(notes) and an added year of experience for QB Matt Ryan(notes), ATL has gone from one of the run-heaviest offenses in '08 to one of the most balanced offenses in '09 (64 rushes/63 passes). But you can still count on 20+ carries from RB Michael Turner(notes) – he's averaged 25 carries this season and has topped 20 carries in 13 of 18 regular-season games for ATL. But even without DE Richard Seymour(notes) and now LB Jerod Mayo(notes), NE has been fairly strong across the board on the defensive side of the ball and you can expect ATL to look to continue the equitable distribution of the pigskin on offense. Something tells me, though, that WR Roddy White(notes) finishes this one with his first 100-yard game of '09.
Tom Brady(notes) has thrown 100 passes in two games, for which head coach Bill Bellichick is unapologetic. While Brady is still trying to rediscover that extreme comfort level in the pocket he was once known for, the passing game is still the clear strength of this offense and a stubborn Bellichick is likely to have Brady airing it out at least 40 times again on Sunday. But pass protection could be a bit problematic as ATL has generated 4 QB sacks from right-side DEs John Abraham(notes) and Kroy Biermann(notes), and NE LT Matt Light(notes) has been taking heat for his diminishing skills (read: quickness). Brady has only been sacked once, but he's been under the gun often this season. If he does get time, Randy Moss(notes) and Wes Welker(notes) (if healthy; if not, Welkian backup Julian Edelman(notes)) could have a field day against the Falcons' suspect corners. Finally, don't be surprised if RB Fred Taylor(notes), who ran with fire last week, receives 12+ carries on Sunday.

TENNESSEE TITANS @ NEW YORK JETS Key Stats:
TITANS – 1.9 YPC allowed; 339 YPG passing allowed
JETS – 3.7 YPC allowed; 181 YPG passing allowed
What to watch for: The Jets, like head coach Rex Ryan's former Baltimore flock, love to send 6+ defenders, forcing quick decisions by the QB while stuffing running lanes in the process. But TEN is excellent in pass protection, allowing the fewest sacks in '08 and just two in '09. If the Jets stay true on defense, TEN can think about taking some deep shots downfield – QB Kerry Collins(notes) has the arm and WRs Kenny Britt(notes) and Nate Washington(notes) have the speed. In addition, TEN will certainly check to see if the Chris Johnson dump-off bank is still open – the RB had 9 receptions for 87 yards in Week 2. NYJ CB Darrelle Revis(notes) has shutdown WRs Andre Johnson(notes) and Randy Moss so far, and he'll probably lock up on WR Justin Gage(notes) in this one. It's enough of a concern for Gage owners that they should forget about rostering him this week. You can't start RB LenDale White(notes) at this point, as he's been used sparingly and wasn't leaned on much last season against stauncher run defenses.
TEN is very susceptible in the secondary, as the team has allowed 10+ pass plays of 20+ yards, second-most in the NFL. Inexperience is becoming less and less of a concern for QB Mark Sanchez(notes) each passing week as he proves he's capable and mature beyond his years. Rex Ryan opened things up for Sanchez in the second half of Week 2 vs. New England and Sanchez delivered in spades. No doubt that the Jets will look to see if the running game is viable early, but TEN has allowed just 1.9 YPC this season. If not, look for the team to use TE Dustin Keller(notes) heavily – TEN has allowed healthy yardage to TEs – and get creative with RB Leon Washington(notes) – perhaps a wheel route or two? WR Chansi Stuckey(notes) has been Sanchez's preferred deep option, which is something to consider given how many times TEN has been burned deep.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS @ PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Key Stats:
CHIEFS – 49.3% Comp% allowed
EAGLES – 3.7 YPC allowed; 186 YPG passing allowed; 7 Sacks; 6 INTs
What to watch for: Ideally, you'd prefer to attack KC with a power running game like BAL did in Week 1 (41 carries, 4.8 YPC). But PHI does not have a power running game and has long preferred the aerial route (81 attempts in '09). And to make matters worse, RB Brian Westbrook(notes) sprained his surgically-repaired ankle in Week 2. Expect him to be limited in Week 3, which means rookie backup RB LeSean McCoy(notes) could wind up seeing an upgraded workload and, if so, he's a very intriguing fantasy play. QB Kevin Kolb(notes) loves throwing to TE Brent Celek(notes) and WR DeSean Jackson(notes), and they had a combined 20 targets in Week 2. PHI is always creative in finding ways to get DeSean the ball, and that won't change, assuming he can play through a groin injury suffered in Week 2. By the way, if Westbrook doesn't play, here's a Hail Mary pick for deep leaguers: FB Leonard Weaver(notes)
This should be a long day for the KC offense, with its anemic offensive line going against an athletic, attacking PHI defense. RB Larry Johnson(notes) ran 24 times for 78 yards in Week 2 and, with RB Jamaal Charles(notes) (healthy scratch in Week 2) seemingly in the doghouse, LJ should see extensive work once again, and he's likely to be equally as impotent as he was in Week 2. WR Bobby Wade(notes) signed with KC prior to Week 2 and made an immediate impact for the team, leading KC in targets (9), catches (6) and receiving yards (72) on Sunday. His short-game, possession skills will likely come in handy for QB Matt Cassel(notes) once again in Week 3. WR Dwayne Bowe(notes) has managed to find pay dirt in each of the first two weeks despite just 5 targets in each contest. The likelihood that KC is playing from behind gives Bowe good odds at scoring in his third straight game.

NEW YORK GIANTS @ TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS Key Stats:
GIANTS: 6.7 YPC allowed; 157 YPG passing allowed
BUCS: 5.7 YPC allowed; 282 YPG passing allowed
What to watch for: NYG had one of the top rushing offenses in '08, but it has struggled to a 3.5 YPC mark through two games. TB has struggled at stopping both the run and pass, 2nd-most total yards allowed (450 YPG), and the NYG has proven that there is more potency in the passing game, thanks to WRs Steve Smith and Mario Manningham(notes), than most anyone expected. That said, I expect NYG really has a desire to try to get the running game well this week. TB has allowed 5.7 YPC and, after watching QB Eli Manning(notes) shred the DAL secondary in Week 2, TB cannot simply decide to sell out to stop the run for fear of a repeat of the field day DAL QB Tony Romo(notes) had against them in Week 1. All of this is to say, RB Brandon Jacobs(notes) gets 20+ carries for the first time in '09 this week. And sure-handed middleman WR Steve Smith likely gets another 6-8 receptions. Because I think the NYG play it a bit more conservative this week, and because he's been the preferred red-zone target, I like Smith a little bit more than Manningham this week, but both are viable options. Heck, all Giants starters are viable options.
Few, if anyone, predicted that the NYG would be the second-worst rush defense (6.7 YPC) after two weeks. DAL shredded a Justin Tuck(notes)-less defensive front in the second half this past Sunday night, rushing for 173 yards and two touchdowns. Obviously, Tuck's Week 3 availability, shoulder injury, will dictate a bit of how TB attacks the Giants. Certainly, TB would like to get the ground game going again after BUF shut it down (57 rushing yards, 3.0 YPC) in Week 2. It would afford them the best chance to stay close early, something the team has struggled with – it fell behind 20-7 to DAL in Week 1 and 17-0 to BUF in Week 2. As a team that wants to run the ball, but has been forced to have QB Byron Leftwich(notes) hoist it 91 times in the first two weeks, this is a tough group to figure out from a fantasy standpoint. TE Kellen Winslow(notes), with 9+ targets in each game, seems the safest option. Everyone else is running under at least a caution flag.

CLEVELAND BROWNS @ BALTIMORE RAVENS Key Stats:
BROWNS – 5.6 YPC allowed; 174 YPG passing allowed
RAVENS – 2.2 YPC allowed; 290 YPG passing allowed
What to watch for: This is an ugly one for CLE. In fact, you have to wonder if the team will even manage to find pay dirt at all – it couldn't at DEN in Week 2. QB Brady Quinn(notes) has been sacked 9 times in two games and now he has to deal with the blitz-happy BAL schemes. It wouldn't at all be surprising to see an appearance from QB Derek Anderson(notes) in this one, be it because of Quinn's struggles or a Quinn injury. RB Jamal Lewis(notes) has been decent traveling to face his former team the past couple years, but you can't expect more than a grind-it-out 50-60 yard effort in this one. WR Braylon Edwards(notes) is coming off 6-for-92 performance against DEN in Week 2 and he's disappointed his fantasy owners just once in his past six meetings against BAL. It's a scary matchup, but the history card and the struggles of BAL against the SDG passing game in Week 2 makes Edwards a defensible play.
Nobody runs more than BAL. Not last year and not in '09, at least. With CLE allowing 5.6 YPC, there is little reason for BAL to come in planning to let QB Joe Flacco(notes) win this one with his arm. RB Ray Rice(notes) likely gets a lot of carries in this one, with RB Willis McGahee(notes) stealing a dozen carries or more as well as Rice's thunder at the goal line. Worth considering is that CLE allowed just 1 TD to a TE in '08 and has allowed just 5 receptions to TEs in '09. I'd be leery of TE Todd Heap(notes), who had just 1 reception for 9 yards in Week 2. Play-action should be available for Flacco – CLE has allowed 6 of 33 passes completed against them to go for 20+ yards. Don't be surprised if emerging deep-ball specialist WR Kelley Washington(notes) gets the chance to end zone dance once again.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS @ HOUSTON TEXANS Key Stats:
JAGUARS – 3.2 YPC allowed; 280 YPG passing allowed
TEXANS – 6.3 YPC allowed; 241 passing yards allowed
What to watch for: JAC is just 24th in total yards on offense through two games, so it will welcome a matchup with the league's worst defense. HOU is allowing 6.3 YPC and versatile RB Chris Johnson ate them alive with a heavy mix of carries and receptions in Week 2. Odds are that owners of RB Maurice Jones-Drew(notes) have already stained something with saliva while daydreaming about this matchup. QB David Garrard(notes) has fared well against HOU in recent meetings and he's coming off a week in which he threw 43 times for 282 yards and 2 TDs. It's hard to tell right now if the balance of go-to power at WR will remain with Mike Sims-Walker(notes), or if team target leader Torry Holt(notes) will start making his opportunities count. I'm putting all receiving options for JAC under the caution flag this week – but both should be fine options this week as JAC lost WR Troy Williamson(notes) to injury in Week 2 and cut WR Nate Hughes(notes) after he failed to deliver on a couple crucial opportunities in Week 2. There's not much competition at WR in JAC right now.
Is this the game RB Steve Slaton(notes) finally breaks out? Last season, two of his top six fantasy efforts came against JAC. But that means little right now for a RB that has drawn the ire of head coach Gary Kubiak for fumbling three times in 26 carries through two games. If he drops the rock again in Week 3, RB Chris Brown becomes a nightmare for Slaton owners. Slaton's been called to task, and I expect he'll be motivated and given opportunities early to make amends. You obviously don't sit WR Andre Johnson after a monstrous Week 2 performance, but just beware that JAC CB Rashean Mathis(notes) can be problematic for top WRs, and Johnson has had his struggles with him in the past. Rookie CB Derek Cox(notes), if he plays (concussion) could lead HOU to look WR Kevin Walter's(notes) way often. Walter looks likely to return from a hamstring injury that cost him the first two weeks of the season. JAC has just one sack in two games, so QB Matt Schaub(notes) should have time to find his plethora of receiving talents, and you really have to give strong consideration to the entire Texans stable this week.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS @ BUFFALO BILLS Key Stats:
SAINTS – 2.9 YPC allowed; 288 YPG passing allowed; 6 INTs
BILLS – 3.1 YPC allowed; 332 YPG passing allowed
What to watch for: It's not hard to imagine what NO has planned for Sunday. BUF has allowed 332 passing yards and have been thrown on 103 times in two games. QB Drew Brees(notes) is averaging 323 passing yards in two games. BUF has allowed the most FAN PTS to TEs (hello, Jeremy Shockey(notes)). Bring on the fireworks! NO has RB concerns anyway, as RB Mike Bell(notes) suffered an MCL injury in Week 2 that should sideline him on Sunday. RB Pierre Thomas(notes), finally over his MCL injury, is expected to take Bell's spot in the lineup. BUF has been stout against the run, but Brees has a way of opening things up for the entire offense, so consider Thomas a solid option. Also, a RB has caught at least 6 passes against BUF in each of the first two games, an optimistic stat for RB Reggie Bush(notes) owners.
The BUF offense has become the property of Fred Jackson(notes). After posting 140 yards from scrimmage against NE in Week 1, he tallied 34 touches and 188 YFS in Week 2 against Tampa Bay. NO has given up plenty of fantasy points through the air this season, but a shootout with Brees is the last thing BUF wants. So look for another heavy workload for Jackson as well as getting WR Terrell Owens(notes) heavily involved – he's had just 8 targets in two games. The 6/62 effort by TE Derek Schouman(notes) in Week 2 looked intriguing following TE Brent Celek's 104-yard effort against NO in Week 2. However, Schouman landed on the IR after the game and now rookie TE Shawn Nelson(notes),dealing with a sore shoulder, or Derek Fine(notes) must step up at TE.

CHICAGO BEARS @ SEATTLE SEAHAWKS Key Stats:
BEARS – 177 YPG passing allowed
SEAHAWKS – 7.1 YPC allowed; 147 YPG passing allowed; 7 Sacks
What to watch for: SF RB Frank Gore cutting through the guts of the SEA defense in Week 2 for two runs of 79+ yards had to be heartening for owners of CHI RB Matt Forte(notes). Based on YPC, only HOU (2.4) has been worse than CHI (2.6) on the ground. But no defense has been worse against the run than SEA (7.1). CHI will almost assuredly look to get Forte 25+ touches. SEA has allowed just one pass play of 20+ yards this season, a fact that doesn't bode well for speedy WR Devin Hester(notes). The Seahawks have also fared well against opposing TEs this season. But SEA LB Lofa Tatupu(notes) (hamstring) and CB Josh Wilson(notes) (ankle) are likely to join CB Marcus Trufant(notes) on the sidelines this week, meaning that the pass defense could be more suspect than it has been, thus far, especially if there's a significant shift in emphasis to plug the holes in the run defense. For those reasons, QB Jay Cutler(notes) and TE Greg Olsen(notes) are reasonable fantasy options. And the depleted SEA secondary means that WR Johnny Knox(notes), who Cutler has definitely taken a shine to (9 targets in Week 2) in the first two weeks, could surprise yet again.
It looks as though SEA QB Matt Hasselbeck(notes), who suffered what looked to be a serious Patrick Willis(notes)-induced rib injury in Week 2, might try to play on Sunday. If so, you'd expect the team to be fairly conservative and minimize the risk to Hasselbeck in the passing game. Any quick-hitting passing plan benefits WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh(notes) and TE John Carlson(notes), although CHI hasn't allowed more than 43 yards to a TE in nine straight regular-season games. RB Justin Forsett(notes), a fantastic receiver out of the backfield who is opening eyes with his strength for a player of his size, could continue to see increased reps as an extra safety valve for Hasselbeck. If Hasselbeck can't go, which seems the more likely scenario, QB Seneca Wallace(notes) is an athletic backup who can buy time with his feet. His presence would likely give WR Nate Burleson(notes) a better chance to produce this week. SEA is very beat up on the offensive line (and at fullback), which makes RBs Julius Jones(notes) and Edgerrin James(notes) high-risk (read: forget about it) options.

Chicago 17, Seattle 14
MIAMI DOLPHINS @ SAN DIEGO CHARGERS Key Stats:
DOLPHINS – 3.4 YPC allowed; 254 YPG passing allowed
CHARGERS – 4.3 YPC allowed
What to watch for: Despite a loss on MNF, don't expect MIA to stray far from a game plan (conservative runs and passes infused heavily with Wildcat change-ups) that allowed the team to control the clock for 75 percent of the game. SDG has been soft against the run (4.3 YPC) and a bit undisciplined vs. the pass (6 pass plays of 20+ yards allowed). The setup bodes well for RB Ronnie Brown(notes), who was the pilot of a very successful Wildcat on MNF and proved yet again that he simply won't disappoint if given a heavy workload. WR Ted Ginn Jr.(notes) was the target of 16 passes on MNF, and he caught 11 of them for 108 yards (although he probably should have caught 13-14 of them). He looks like a decent play this week given the exorbitant numbers of targets he received in Week 2 and the fact that he had a season-high 7 catches against the Chargers a season ago. In the current setup, RB Ricky Williams(notes) is more a 1B RB option than a backup. He's touched the rock 29 times in two games and is a vital component to the offense, Wildcat or no Wildcat. He'll likely see 12-15 touches on Sunday. QB Chad Pennington(notes) has yet to complete a 20-yard pass this season and he's ill-suited to take advantage of a SDG defense that has given up the deep ball a fair amount, thus far.
SDG might get RB LaDainian Tomlinson(notes) (ankle) back this week, but they'd probably be better off letting him sit another week. RB Darren Sproles(notes) drove home the value of his receiving talents with a 7/124/1 line against BAL in Week 2 and SDG will likely have to pin their hopes on the arm of QB Philip Rivers(notes) once again as MIA has been very good at stopping the run. The TE, however, has given MIA fits in '09, although that's what happens when you face Tony Gonzalez (5/73/1) and Dallas Clark(notes) (7/183/1) in back-to-back weeks. It's not that an owner of TE Antonio Gates(notes) would ever consider sitting him, but it's comforting to know how much trouble MIA has had against the position. WRs Roddy White and Reggie Wayne(notes) were shut down by MIA this season, but I wouldn't worry too much about budding star WR Vincent Jackson(notes) this week. He has five inches on both of those receivers, a fact that will always keep him in business in the red zone.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS @ CINCINNATI BENGALS Key Stats:
STEELERS – 3.0 YPC allowed;
BENGALS – 4.3 YPC allowed; 9 Sacks
What to watch for: PIT is averaging just 3.1 YPC and RBs have averaged just 3.6 YPC against CIN in '09. RB Willie Parker(notes) looks slow and RB Rashard Mendenhall(notes) looks soft (his 39-yard run in Week 2 didn't require breaking any tackles). PIT also has the 8th-fewest rushing attempts (45) through two games, but count on it trying desperately to get untracked on Sunday. Forcing QB Ben Roethlisberger(notes) to air it out again could prove problematic. CIN DE Antwan Odom(notes) has 7 sacks in two games, and PIT struggles in pass protection. The team also starts quality talents at CB in former first rounders James Joseph and Leon Hall(notes). Coming home after a big win at Green Bay in Week 2, CIN should benefit on defense from the motivation of a fired up crowd, and it could prove to make Roethlisberger's day miserable. WR Santonio Holmes'(notes) sore wrist is also another matter to consider. RB Mewelde Moore(notes), a sweet receiver out of the backfield and a key contributor in the no-huddle offense, could see double-digit touches for the 1st time this season. And trusty middleman WR Hines Ward(notes), who has 5 TDs in his past 4 meetings with CIN, should be busy.
RB Cedric Benson(notes) has run like a man on a mission in '09. He was shut down by PIT in two meetings in '08, but he looks a 2.0 version of the back we saw last year, and I wouldn't be surprised if Benson powers his way to a 25/80/1 type of day. Benson gives the PIT defense something to think about in addition to QB Carson Palmer(notes), who emerged last week with 3 TD passes. PIT has just 2 sacks in '09, which is something that should make CIN feel confident about chucking it 30-35 times. WR Chad Ocho Cinco(notes) is the leading candidate to become the 3rd consecutive WR to victimize PIT for 70+ yards and a TD.

DENVER BRONCOS @ OAKLAND RAIDERS Key Stats:
BRONCOS – 2.9 YPC allowed; 184 YPG passing allowed; 7 Sacks
RAIDERS – 4.1 YPC allowed; 238 passing yards allowed
What to watch for: DEN is developing a solid 1-2 punch in the backfield with RBs Knowshon Moreno(notes) and Correll Buckhalter(notes). Expect Moreno to regularly get the majority portion of the backfield split like in Week 2 as Buckhalter, given his aggressive running style and penchant for injury, is best used in a more limited manner. The passing game remains a work in progress as QB Kyle Orton(notes) has completed an uninspiring 55 percent of his passes. He's also managed to make No. 3 and No. 4 WRs Brandon Stokely and Jabar Gaffney(notes) the most valuable receiving weapons on the team through two weeks. Until the passing picture becomes clearer it's probably best to stay away from WRs Brandon Marshall(notes) and Eddie Royal(notes) this week against CB Nnamdi Asomugha(notes) and company.
OAK QB currently bests only Jake Delhomme(notes) and Matthew Stafford in QB Rating, but my money is on the other two passing him up soon. Russell has made minimal strides as a decision maker and his intermediate-range accuracy is embarrassing (35.2% Comp%). You can't start an OAK WR this week against a DEN defense that holds opponents below 200 passing yards and has been adept at sacking the QB in '09. DEN has allowed just 2.9 YPC in '09, but RB Darren McFadden(notes) will present a whole different level of speed than what its seen from Cedric Benson and Jamal Lewis, thus far. Expect OAK to try to get a combined 30 carries out of Run-DMC and Michael Bush(notes). And if they don't look to TE Zach Miller more than 3 times (his Week 2 target total), it should be considered a crime. That said, DEN has yielded just 3 catches to TEs in '09, and Miller had just modest production against DEN in '08.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS @ ARIZONA CARDINALS Key Stats:
COLTS – 4.7 YPC allowed; 139 YPG passing allowed
CARDINALS – 2.5 YPC allowed; 8 Sacks
What to watch for: Don't give ARI too much credit for its 8 sacks. The two teams its faced, SF and JAC, combined to allow 97 sacks in '08. IND has allowed just 16 sacks in its past 18 regular-season games. Expect QB Peyton Manning(notes) to be up for a shootout against what was one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL in '08. IND is generating just 3.4 YPC on offense and ARI is allowing just 2.5 YPC, so it's hard to be optimistic about RBs Joseph Addai(notes) and Donald Brown(notes), although Brown had an impressive 15-yard TD run against MIA in Week 2, showing a toughness that could earn him extra carries this week. You're obviously starting WR Reggie Wayne and TE Dallas Clark, and WR Pierre Garcon(notes) warrants attention in deeper leagues as his 48-yard TD catch-and-run late in Week 2 might have garnered some extra trust from Manning.
WRs have scored just 4 TDs against IND in the past 19 regular-season games. That makes WR Larry Fitzgerald's(notes) odds of scoring in his 9th consecutive game ('08 postseason included) fairly long. That said, Fitzgerald is reportedly a bit grumpy about catching just 4 passes in Week 2 at JAC, and I suspect that ARI might try to appease him this week. In general, though, ARI is likely to be a little more run-focused than usual, and right now that would benefit RB Tim Hightower(notes) more than rookie Beanie Wells(notes). While Wells has averaged a solid 5.2 YPC in two games, he fumbled twice in Week 2 and given Hightower's strong efforts as both a runner and receiver, he has a leg up on Wells for now.

What to watch for: If CAR can establish a strong running game early on vs. DAL on Monday, that should open up opportunities for QB Jake Delhomme to take some shots at WR Steve Smith deep – DAL has allowed 9 pass plays of 20+ yards. Smith was targeted 15 times in Week 2 and 13 times in Week 1, and there's no reason to believe the love won't continue. RB Jonathan Stewart(notes) looks like the Achilles injury he dealt with over the summer is no longer giving him much problem. He ran with a lot of life in Week 2, carrying 9 times for 65 yards at Atlanta. If he and RB DeAngelo Williams(notes) combine for 30+ carries, it'll be great news for CAR. That would mean CAR is keeping the score close, not having to live or die by Delhomme's arm – we all know the downside to that.
A quad injury could knock DAL RB Marion Barber(notes) out of action on Monday. If that proves to be the case, RB Tashard Choice(notes) becomes a major beneficiary. Despite being small, he proved his toughness and versatility down the stretch in '08 when Barber missed time. Cannonball RB Felix Jones(notes) would also see an elevated role, but it's likely Jones and Choice would split carries evenly with both getting a low double-digit workload. CAR has done a solid job of shutting down opposing WRs this season, which is mostly a product of teams being able to run on CAR – the 56 pass attempts against CAR is 3rd-lowest in the NFL. That said, CAR CB Chris Gamble(notes) could give DAL WR Roy Williams problems. Expect DAL to heavily attack in the passing game via TEs Jason Witten(notes) and Martellus Bennett(notes). CAR has been brutal in its ability to hold down TEs for going on four straight years.

Plenty of older people on the net!
Patients increasingly use the Internet to access health-related information for which they are not charged.1 In turn, websites gather information from those who browse their sites and target advertisements to them. Yet this business model masks a more complicated picture. A patient who searches on a “free” health-related website for information related to “herpes” should be able to assume that the inquiry is anonymous. If not anonymous, the information knowingly or unknowingly disclosed by the patient should not be divulged to others.

Dr Martin Wale's curator insight,	April 8, 11:05 AM
AbstractBackgroundRecruitment of women in the periconceptional period to clinical studies using traditional advertising through medical establishments is difficult and slow. Given the widespread use of the internet as a source for medical information and research, we analyze the impact of social media in the second phase of an ongoing randomized, open-label clinical trial among pregnant women. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of social media as a recruitment tool through the comparison of diverse recruitment techniques in two different phases of the trial.MethodsRecruitment in Phase 1 of the study consisted solely of traditional healthcare-based sources. This was compared to Phase 2 of the study where traditional recruitment was continued and expanded, while social media was used as a supplementary source. Yearly recruitment and recruitment rates in the two phases were compared using the Mann Whitney U test. The contributions of each recruitment source to overall recruitment were analyzed, and the impact of potential confounders on recruitment rate was evaluated using a multiple regression and Interrupted Time Series Analysis.ResultsIn the first phase of the study, with over 56 months of recruitment using traditional sources, 35 women were enrolled in the study, resulting in a mean rate of ±0.62 recruits/month. In the 6 months implementing recruitment through social media, 45 women were recruited, for a 12-fold higher rate of ±7.5 recruits/month. Attrition rates remained constant, suggesting that social media had a positive impact on recruitment. The Interrupted Time Series Analysis detected a significant difference in recruitment after the intervention of social media (p<0.0001) with an evident increase in the number of recruits observed after the use of social media.ConclusionsClinicians and scientists recruiting for clinical studies should learn how to use online social media platforms to improve recruitment rates, thus increasing recruitment efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Why blocking social media is not the answer: a doctor's point of view
doctorsbag.wordpress.com
Edwin Kuys writes on the 'Doctor's Bag' blog: "I am a strong proponent of open access to social media. I feel the decision to block staff access to e.g. LinkedIn or YouTube is often ill-advised, and it’s not beneficial to organisations in the long run. Many times I’ve heard the following reasons for restricting social media usage at work: “We don’t want our staff to be distracted.” And: “They shouldn’t waste their time on social media.” Other reasons may include perceived cyber risks or the cost of excess data usage. Any organisation that blocks social media sites may send out one or more of the following messages: We don’t really understand what social media is all aboutWe don’t trust our staffEven though consumers are using social media for health purposes, we’re not interested Admittedly, this is probably unintentional. In most cases decision makers are probably unfamiliar with social media and may see it as a threat.Here are five reasons why health care staff should have access to LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Blogs etc…Social networks are powerful learning tools for staffSocial media are increasingly used as health promotion tools (e.g. embedded YouTube videos)Shared knowledge accessible via social media will assist staff in finding answers and making better decisionsInteractions with peers and thought leaders increases work satisfaction (and will contribute to staff retention)Participating in social media and other new technologies will raise the (inter)national profile of an organisation"

It is a poorly kept secret in the world of clinical trials that issues with patient recruitment and enrollment are the primary causes for missing clinical trial timelines. Most of us have seen the data. We know that for each day a company goes beyond the planned deadline for a clinical trial, that company could be losing as much as $600,000 in foregone sales of smaller products and as much as $8 million on blockbuster drugs. As necessity is the mother of invention, it comes as no surprise that sponsors and CROs are looking to any and all means by which to increase the rate of patient enrollment.

Quote of the Day: "Democracy a Little bit too Inconvenient for European Politicians"
I have a new found respect for Lauren Lyster and Dimitri over at Capital Account on RT TV, and have been talking about their show for the past several weeks.
They raise the right questions, have created a show that's outside of the mainstream media, think outside of the herd, and report accurately and interview with interesting questions.
The introduction phrase Lauren uses couldn't be more accurate, and more inline with my latest posts on the Rise of a Fascist in European Union (part 1 and part 2):
"Democracy a Little bit too Inconvenient for European Politicians", Lauren Lyster
On the 28th of Feb, Lauren interviewed Steve Keen about the Greek bailout, and the Zombie banking and Zombie government. While I don't agree with Steve Keen's point of view on Europe and political point of views, and solutions to the problem, it is still an interesting interview.
The show is available on YouTube.

Tagged with Annotation, Discovery, Java	« Kundera: now JPA 1.0 Compatible
JUnit Primer »
My experience with the spring support for auto discovery is that filtering by classpath resource is a must have. In your typical webapp you have 50+ jar files, but you are just interested in exploring WEB-INF/classes (or even more, com/acme/model/** classes). Experimenting with different servers is also important, as classpath entries can get quite tricky (proprietary protocols for accessing libraries inside WAR deployments for websphere and jboss, for instance).
This is just a heads-up. The API looks really promising, and some independent product like this is certainly needed. Good job!
July 28, 2010 at 2:26 pm	Reply	hi,if i have a class which has tow method whichi their name is same.and one is has the annotation,but other is not .how can i know which method i has the annotation
June 11, 2011 at 7:13 pm	Reply	MethodAnnotationDiscoveryListener’s method ‘void discovered(String clazz, String method, String signature, String annotation);’ will return you signature of the method discovered for annotation. You can check for signature. -Animesh

June 11, 2011 at 7:22 pm	Reply	Hi Animesh… I am working on a project in java. Which involves writing a contract for a method using COFOJA. And then using heuristics on contract to generate code for the method. for ex: consider following input to my project
July 20, 2011 at 5:05 am	Reply	Hi Sagar, Thanks for the comment. Is there something I can help you with?
July 20, 2011 at 9:53 am	Reply	Thanks for reply. I want to ask , 1) Do you have any idea, about how to scan the contracts in java? Since, I am using COFOJA for writing contracts, it uses @ensures, @requires etc.. annotations for precondition, postcondtions . SO, using your Annovention, will it be possible to scan these annotations, which are written using cofoja? 2) Or is there any other way you know, by which I can parse the java code? I found AST as of the way, but not getting enough information on how to write code for Abstract Syntax tree. Kindly help.
July 20, 2011 at 4:43 pm	Sagar, sure you can use Annovention to scan these annotations. Annovention can scan any Java Annotation. All you need to do is to write ClassAnnotationDiscoveryListener or FieldAnnotationDiscoveryListener or MethodAnnotationDiscoveryListener based upon where you are expecting the annotations. And then, write supportedAnnotations method to return the array of Annotation names you want to scan, like:
com.google.java.contract.Ensures.class.getName(),
com.google.java.contract.Requires.class.getName()
simple! Please follow the blog, it describes all the necessary steps. -Animesh

Nice work on the tool, source is understandable, it’s well written, and the API is easy to get. I’m using it with http://code.google.com/p/mash/ and it’s working great. Thanks for the effort.
December 6, 2011 at 11:39 pm	Reply	Wonderful. Good to know that it could be of some help. 🙂 Mash looks promising too. Will explore it this weekend.
December 12, 2011 at 10:59 pm	Reply	Hi Animesh —
Thanks for contributing a well-written, succinct and useful project. I was able to use it easily in one of my projects where I needed to scan for annotations and did not want to bring Spring into the picture. I had a quick question (I know I can fork this project and change the behavior, but wanted to check first). Why does the Discover class call the listeners with the string names for class, method, annotation etc. instead of passing them as objects. Most annotations have member values that need to be processed and so just getting the string value with the annotation name is not helpful in that regard. Also, I know that while the listener can look up the annotation again by using reflection, it seems unnecessary because the Discover had that those objects before calling the listeners.
If you agree with my comments, would you be open to providing another method on the listener that the Discover can call that passes in the actual objects (mainly the Annotation object). Was there any reason you chose to not go that route?
March 30, 2012 at 11:45 pm	Reply	Discoverer uses Javassist – to find out annotations – which works on byte-code, not reflection. Objects Discoverer deals with are javassist.bytecode.* ones, so it would need to create Class, Method, Field and other object if it has to pass these to listener.
I chose not to do this, and let whoever is listening deal with it. 🙂 But, yes, one can very easily implement such a method. – Animesh
March 31, 2012 at 7:37 pm	Reply	Nice job. I am planning on using Annovation to build a resource index for a JAX-RS service. Can the AnnotationDiscoveryListener sub-classes access the full javassist.bytecode.annotation.Annotation object so that I can access and report the annotations parameters? I have figured out a way to do this by modifying Annovation but the AnnotationDiscoveryListener.discovered method would have to change. I am wondering if I can do it without modifying the package?
Also, I am seeing dupes in the logs with my tester. ( http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=a8tgNUFC ) any ideas?
February 13, 2014 at 2:48 am	Reply	I ended up modifying Annovention adding three new listeners in additional to the existing ones (xxxAnnotationObjectDiscoveryListener). I modified Discoverer to handle the additional listeners along with the original three. This way, the package maintains compatibility while adding some new capabilities. I added a test that reports on an annotations parameter value. I can send you the changes for inclusion if your interested. Otherwise, I’ll probably branch the project as it’s well suited to build the JAX-RS service resource hierarchy.
