Take a moment and look around. Are you inside? Then you might come across books, a pile of mail, your computer, and your television. Or maybe you’re outside, carrying your mobile device and checking your appointments. The world we live in is surrounded by ubiquitous information. Information that is visual, audible, and tactile. It is meant to inform, to entertain, to instruct, and to warn. Because we are constantly bombarded with this information in our daily lives, we must quickly collect, filter, store, and process which information is important to use for specific tasks.
Consider a busy intersection you are trying to cross. You are surrounded by the sights and sounds of pedestrians conversing, cars and trucks honking, birds flying, signage on billboards, and thousands of other types of stimuli. Our minds have an amazing ability to focus on the task at hand, filter the surrounding noise, and process, store, and allow us to act on only the relevant “signal” information.
When the crosswalk signal changes to “Walk,” we identify the sign, interpret its meaning, determine an action to move our body forward, and carry out our actions by walking until we’ve crossed the street, achieving our goal.
Understanding how we process and filter visual information, or data, will help us to design effective displays of information on mobile devices. Let’s first explore the types of information we will encounter.
Types of Visual Information
All humans have more or less the same visual processing system. However, without a standardized way to explain and notate our perceptions, our communication of this in- formation becomes arbitrary and ineffective when designing to display information on mobile interfaces.
Ware (Ware 2000) introduces a modern way of dividing data into entities and relationships.
Entities are the objects that can be visualized, such as people, buildings, and signs. Relationships (sometimes called relations) define the structures and patterns that entities share with one another. Relationships can be structural and physical, conceptual, causal, and temporal.
These entities and relationships can be further described using attributes. These are properties of both the entity and the relationship, and cannot be considered independently. Some examples of attributes are:
- Weight, or thickness of a line
- Type size
For each of these we mean the attribute as it applies to a specific item. Not texture in general, or the texture of paper, but the texture of a specific type of paper (or even a specific sheet of paper).
In addition to creating descriptions of our perceptions, we have also standardized a way to classify them. Common classifying schemes that we use are:
- Uses labels and names to categorize data
- Uses numbers to order things in sequence
- A fixed relationship between one object and another using a zero value as a reference
- The measurable gap between two data values
- Uses the order of the alphabet to organize nominal data
Geographical - Using location, such as city, state, country, to organize data.
- Uses location, such as city, state, and/or country, to organize data
Topical - Organizing data by topic or subject.
- Organizes data by topic or subject
Task - Organizing data based on processes, tasks, functions and goals.
- Organizes data based on processes, tasks, functions, and goals
Audience - Organizing data by user type, such as interests, demographics, knowledge and experience levels, needs and goals.
- Organizes data by user type, such as interests, demographics, knowledge and experi- ence levels, needs, and goals
Social - A collaboration of organizing data by users who share the same interests. Such as tagging, adding to a wiki, and creating and following twitter feeds.
- A collaboration of organizing data by users who share the same interests, such as tag- ging, adding to a wiki, and creating and following Twitter feeds
Metaphor - Organizing data based on a familiar mental model to the user. Such as organizing computer files with folders, trash, and recycle bin.
- Organizes data based on a mental model that is familiar to the user, such as organiz- ing computer files with folders, trash, and a recycle bin
Organizing with Information Architecture
One of the most common organization structures humans have used through time is a hierarchy. A hierarchy organizes information based on divisions and parent-child relationships. When using hierarchies to organize information, Peter Morville explains rules to consider (Morville 2006): categories should be mutually exclusive to limit ambiguity. Consider the balance between breadth and depth. When determining the number of cat- egories regarding breadth, you must consider the user’s ability to visually scan the page as well as the amount of real estate on the screen. When considering depth, limit the scope to two to three levels down. Recognize the danger of providing users with too many options.
Another way to organize information is by faceting. In this, there are no parent-child relationships, just information attributes, such as tags, which may be sorted or filtered to display the most appropriate information. The tags do not have to be explicit, and faceting may be accomplished by searching text descriptions, or even through unusual methods such as searching for shapes, patterns, or colors directly within images.
Of course, these two methods, hierarchy and faceting, may be used in conjunction. A hierarchically ordered data set can also have tags attached to it, and the facet view may combine both strict and arbitrary ordering to display the information the user wants.
Date and location are essentially special cases, and depending on the data or needs they may be approached either way, even though they are strictly defined. For example, location can be an arbitrary value, with filtering or sorting for distance around a single point. Or it may be considered as a hierarchy of continent → nation → state → county → city → address.
Information Design and Ordering Data
You can use the way in which people perceive attributes to communicate the relative im- portance and relationship of informational elements on the page. This design of pages or states, when it falls directly from the information architecture of the entire product, can be called information design. Although many methods of considering these arrangements exist, an adequate grouping is from most to least important. Position is generally more critical to communicating im- portance than size, which is more important than shape, and so on:
Although relative position is unarguably critical, it can easily be lost. The Annunciator Row, with battery level and so forth, is not the most important, because it is almost lost in the bezel. This is purposeful, and the size is adjusted to account for it. Each attribute works with others to function properly.
- Larger elements attract more attention, aside from providing more room for content. They can be too big, either obscuring other items or exceeding the expectation size for an element. Buttons can be so large that they are not recognized as buttons, for example.
- At their simplest, pointed shapes attract attention. Warnings should be triangles, and helpful icons circles, for example. Rounded corners on some boxes, and square on others, will imply meaning. Make sure it’s there, and not just a random design element.
- Contrast refers not to color, but the comparative value (darkness) between two dif- ferent elements, discounting color. Contrasting elements are more easily read, less affected by lighting conditions, and not as subject to users with color deficit.
- High-visibility colors attract more attention, with significant caveats. The most important caveat is not always regarding colorblind users. Glare can make certain colors less prominent. Pervasive use of the color in the branding can also be problematic; a site with a lot of red cannot rely on red for warnings.
- The last thing to use is specific forms of an element. The most common is type treat- ments, such as bold and italics.
We will discuss these in detail in other chapters as well. Here, the concept is useful when determining how to relate the elements within a single informational item, and how to keep the elements and adjacent items from becoming mixed. Rules and bars of color are but some of the techniques. The preceding list covers six categories, with hundreds of design tactics included.
It is also useful to decide what information must be present. More can be said about a good, easy-to-understand interactive design by what is left out of any particular view, than what is included. For each of the information displays detailed in this section, only a portion is shown, and details, or alternative views, are available when the user takes action.
Naturally, make these decisions by following heuristics, standards, and styles of design that already exist, such as OS-level standards and universal hierarchies of visual communication. Most decisions for an existing platform can be easier to make by consulting the style guide. Only a few choices will exist, and these will be well understood by users.
Patterns for Displaying Information
One good way to think about the topic of interactive design is that it’s all about displaying information. This chapter in particular is concerned with components whose sole task is to present ordered sets of information so that users may understand and act upon them.
These patterns have been developed and refined based on how the human mind processes patterns, objects, and information:
- Rather than using horizontal space inefficiently, this displays a set of information vertically using an entire allocated space. See Figure 2-1.
- This reveals small amounts of vertical information at a time because the information set is very large, and not locally stored.
This uses a Vertical List with additional graphical information to assist in the user’s understanding of items within the data set.
- When a scroll-and-select device is targeted, and a Vertical List is called for, this can be used to reveal small amounts of additional information that can assist the user in his task.
- This displays a set of selectable images, not all of which can fit in the available space but which can be scrolled through using many methods. Preserve the integrity of the image used. Do not use programmatic shortcuts visible to the user:
- If the image is skewed to create perspective, skew the entire image. Don’t clip off corners of the image to simulate the skew, as demonstrated in Figure 2-10.
- Do not squash the image to change its aspect ratio. If necessary, add black bars or crop the image to fit a consistent space.
- Do not flip the image when displaying the back of a card, as in three-dimensional carousels.
- This presents information as a set of tiles, most or all of which are unique images, for selection. See Figure 2-2.
- This presents a set of information, which either is a series of screen-size items or can be grouped into screens, for viewing and selection.
- This presents a set of images or similar pieces of information using the full screen for viewing and selection.
- This displays large, complex, and/or interactive visual information which must be routinely zoomed in on so that only a portion is visible in the viewport.
- This is usually a mode of another list pattern when selections, either individual or multiple, must be made from a large, ordered data set.

Want to play golf in your back yard, swim, make pizza, play chess or just relax beside a waterfall?
All of these activities are becoming part of the game plan for major builders, as they work harder than ever to attract home buyers. Such features can serve as memory points for home seekers who may look at offerings in numerous sales centers.
Memory points are a growing trend in home sales as builders try to lock in images of their homes.
The additional selling points go beyond models that are elegantly furnished. Many builders are focusing on the outdoor space with such amenities as porch swings and patio fireplace pits.
"Some people come just to look at the models," said Steve Hovany, president of Strategy Planning Associates, a Schaumburg-based firm that tracks home sales. "Well-decorated models give builders a competitive advantage. There's more competition now that we've shifted to a buyer's market."
Builders are trying to cope with a situation in which new-home sales have fallen by more than 20 percent this year in the Chicago area, to the 30,000-unit level from 40,000, Hovany said.
"The housing industry is going through an adjustment in numbers, staffing, land purchases and expectations," he added.
For builders, that means plenty of challenges.
Interior decorator Helen Velas knows the importance of wow factors. "When house shoppers see 50 models in a day, you really have to grab their attention," she said.
Velas, head of Naperville-based Eleni Interiors, explained the strategy of incorporating memory points in models:
"You want to create a happy home with a warm, fuzzy feeling. The model should seem like a real family just stepped out for a few minutes. Little details are important, like notes on the fridge, a fake pizza on the counter, maybe a backpack with the name of the local school on a bed. Kids' rooms can be decorated with cartoon characters."
Memory points frequently pop up in models of children's bedrooms. For instance, at Copper Springs, a Centex Homes development in Elgin, a sports-themed boy's bedroom has lockers on the wall above the bed, while a girl's princess-theme bedroom has a crown in the same spot.
What excites buyers in the suburbs may not work in the city.
"Downtown condos usually are decorated with more adult-oriented memory points, such as playbills and opera glasses on a living-room table," Velas said.
"Price points are higher downtown and people are looking for a different product than in the suburbs. What attracts buyers in the city are sales centers with interactive, touch-screen kiosks that instantly show floor plans, availability and views from each floor," said Kenneth Riha, president of Chicago-based Riha Design Group.
"We've taken photos from a helicopter to get those views," he said. "That information is important to buyers before a high-rise is built."
"You need wow factors in the city, but they are more likely to be produced by models that are decorated to the nines with upgraded finishes," said Mark Pullinger, vice president of marketing for Rubloff Residential Properties, which is marketing the new Ritz-Carlton Residences at 664 N. Michigan Ave. Construction of the 40-story tower is scheduled to begin this fall.
"In the suburbs, a 10-foot teddy bear in a bedroom might be a great memory point, but things are more subtle in the city," said Pullinger. "At the Ritz-Carlton Residences, the brand identity is elegant and refined. We'll use top-of-the-line finishes that will almost be like works of art."
He added that memory points are even more important now that the housing market has begun to lose steam: "Builders begin to market more when sales slow. They need to attract more attention now."
One suburban builder agrees.
"As the housing market becomes more competitive, we need to make our product stand out," said Robert Meyn, vice president of marketing and sales for Ryland Homes.
"When buyers walk through a lot of models, a special decorating feature will help them remember that plan and community. They might say, `That was the one with the basketball room,' like in our model at the Reserves of St. Charles," Meyn said.
At West Point Gardens in Elgin, each of the seven single-family home models and four townhouse models packs a surprise.
The developer, West Point Builders, has upped the marketing ante in search of much sought after "wow factors." The homes were decorated by Eleni Interiors.
West Point's new model row is a mile west of Randall Road and south of U.S. Highway 20 in Elgin's hot west side, where several new subdivisions are under construction.
In the back-yard garden of the Middlebury model, a pizza oven stands ready to bake lunch. If buyers want a replica of the pizza oven, West Point will build it for an extra $25,500.
Swimmers can keep in shape in the resistance pool in the Amherst model's garden. It costs $41,500.
Golfers can work on their game at the back-yard putting green like the one shown at the Saybrook model. Price: $67,500.
A hot tub bubbles in the garden of the Georgetown model. Price: $27,500.
A large fireplace warms the back-yard patio of the Camelot model. Price: $62,900.
Chess enthusiasts can play on a big board that covers the driveway of the Templeton model. Of course, the game will have to stop to get a car out of the garage. Price: $44,200.
Frog statues guard a waterfall and fountain in the garden of the Princeton model. Price: $24,600.
West Point hopes its gardens will flourish in this sales environment. The 173-acre development is planned for 342 single-family homes base priced from $309,990 to $419,990. The two series with a total of nine floor plans have from 1,841 to 3,264 square feet. Also offered are 128 townhouses with five plans ranging from $229,990 to $284,990 with 1,278 to 1,789 square feet.
The land plan calls for a 12-acre park, bike paths and a 20-acre convenience shopping center.
Patrick Curran, president of West Point Builders, estimates that 10 to 15 percent of buyers will opt for one of the special gardens, and 40 to 50 percent will want parts of them.
"Models with a wow factor mean we don't blend in with everyone else," said Curran. "A lot of buyers take two to three months to decide. If they remember we're the ones with gardens and the hot tub, we have a good chance to make their short list."
"I liked the golf garden, but my wife won't let me have one," said Henry Bauer. The couple bought the Dearborn townhouse model at West Point Gardens.
"We wanted an enclosed back yard for our 3-year-old boy and dog," said Bauer.
They looked at some 15 other developments before choosing West Point, and the private gardens were the most memorable feature, he said.
"I grew up in the city and like the old Chicago neighborhoods. The front porches at West Point Gardens will promote that kind of atmosphere, where you can see and talk to your neighbors," said Bauer.
They bought the two-story Dearborn model that has 9-foot ceilings on the first floor, full basement, two-car garage and private garden. They hope to move in before Christmas.
As for their garden? "Maybe we'll have them put in a fireplace," he said.

Seen a film that drew you into a story? Tuned in to the imagined world of an audio drama? Laughed or gasped with others at live theatre?
Love, pain, hope, greed, trust, failure and renewal are among the drivers for great story. For Christians, drama can be a way to explore the human condition in the light of our faith.
Radius, a member-run UK charity, links people across the country who share an interest in faith and drama. Join us.
Use drama in the life of a church?
Are the kings still wearing curtains? Drama to share stories of faith and explore their meaning can go far beyond the Sunday School nativity evoked by Les Ellison’s title. His play, available from the Radius script store, asks what fresh insight is found by those taking up the challenge to retell the story to a new generation. Check out our Christmas scripts in a range of styles and cast sizes. It’s not too early to plan!
Drama can open conversation on difficult issues – including within a church. Always?, one of the short plays for on screen performance published by Radius during Covid, deals with a home group recognizing domestic abuse. Sacred Spaces, a collection of short dramas about a new minister’s relationship with church officers, can be used singly or linked to a one act play.
Enjoy creating drama?
Radius membership has included writers, actors and audiences since it started in 1929 as the Religious Drama Society of Great Britain, with Sybil Thorndike and Dorothy L Sayers among the early members. Opportunities and encouragement for today’s playwrights include a good value script-assessment service and online resources such as Listening, Hearing, Seeing by Radius trustee and scriptwriter for The Archers, Nick Warburton.
Exploring the Mystery, a Radius day festival in Cambridge last September, showcased two new plays chosen from an open call for scripts, along with short plays based on Bible stories.

Taking children to the wrong trauma center can be a deadly mistake posted on 9/12/14
by Kris Hundley and Alexandra Zayas | Tampa Bay Times
One April evening two years ago, 9-year-old Justin Davis dashed into a busy Jacksonville street, headed to a convenience store for snacks.
When paramedics arrived minutes later, they found the boy lying on the road, unconscious. The impact of a car had fractured his skull and his brain was swelling and bleeding.
Paramedics knew they had to act fast.
Instead of taking Justin to the pediatric trauma center 13 miles away — the only place in Jacksonville equipped to handle his injuries — they drove him in the opposite direction, to a new adult trauma center a few miles closer.
If they thought they were saving time, they were wrong.
Doctors there couldn't treat Justin's brain injuries. They called for a helicopter to take the boy back across town to the pediatric trauma center.
It wound up taking more than 80 minutes to get the boy to specialists who had been less than 20 minutes from the scene of his accident.
Justin never woke up.
Under Florida guidelines, children who suffer traumatic injuries are supposed to go straight to a trauma center that specializes in pediatric care. Studies show that gives them the best chance of survival.
But dozens of children each year aren't getting that chance, a Tampa Bay Times investigation has found. Instead, paramedics are taking them to adult trauma centers that may be closer but aren't equipped to help them.
This is an unintended consequence of the recent expansion of Florida's trauma system.
Sarasota Memorial Hospital considers offering trauma care posted on 9/11/14
by BARBARA PETERS SMITH | Herald-Tribune
During four years of a costly statewide legal conflict among hospitals over the right to treat trauma patients, Sarasota Memorial Hospital's leaders quietly watched from the sidelines.
Now that the dust has settled, they are considering a leap into this competitive — and crowded — arena.
Sarasota Memorial's board has been discussing the idea of applying to become a state-approved Level II trauma center. If it opts to move forward, the public hospital will directly compete with Bradenton's Blake Medical Center when it comes to treating the region's most critical and life-threatening injuries — mostly from traffic accidents, gun violence or head wounds.
Pivotal to Sarasota Memorial's decision is a recent rule change by the state agency that approves new trauma centers, which allocates two possible sites for the region that includes Sarasota, Manatee and DeSoto counties.
Blake — owned by the for-profit HCA health care chain — has occupied one of those spots since November 2011. The other is apparently up for grabs.
Sarasota Memorial CEO David Verinder said Tuesday that he is consulting with the hospital's medical staff before proceeding. The possibility of trauma center status is something the hospital has regularly reviewed, he added.
Health Care Spending Pace May Speed Up posted on 9/4/14
The nation's respite from troublesome health care inflation is ending, the government said Wednesday in a report that renews a crucial budget challenge for lawmakers, taxpayers, businesses and patients.
Economic recovery, an aging society, and more people insured under the new health care law are driving the long-term trend, according to the report published online by the journal Health Affairs.
Projections by nonpartisan experts with the Health and Human Services department indicate the pace of health care spending will pick up starting this year and beyond. The introduction of expensive new drugs for the liver-wasting disease hepatitis C also contributes to the speed-up in the short run.
The report from the Office of the Actuary projects that spending will grow by an average of 6 percent a year from 2015-2023. That's a notable acceleration after five consecutive years, through 2013, of annual growth below 4 percent.

TAMPA — A pair of unrelated car wrecks in South Florida last year has resulted in what may be a far-reaching lawsuit filed in Tampa. The suit accuses a holding company that owns 80 hospitals across the state, including several in the Tampa area, of grossly overcharging for medical services.
According to the suit, JFK Medical Center and its owner, HCA Holdings, charged exorbitant fees for emergency room radiological services. The overcharges sapped the Personal Injury Protection coverage limits of the patients and left them with thousands of dollars of uncovered bills they had to pay out of their pockets, the suit says.
The four-count, 38-page lawsuit was filed in Hillsborough County Circuit Court and seeks class-action certification.
Theodore J. Leopold, a lawyer with the Palm Beach Gardens-based law firm of Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll that filed the lawsuit, said HCA hospitals gouged patients with PIP coverage and the insurance companies that offer it.
“We estimate overcharges or up-charges can be from 400 to 700 percent,” he said. “And the patient has no money left over for the rest of their care.”
HCA’s local list of hospitals include Brandon Regional Hospital, Memorial Hospital and Town & Country Hospital, St. Petersburg General Hospital and Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point.
The lawsuit does not mention any medical facility except the JFK Medical Center in Atlantis, a few miles south of West Palm Beach. Attorneys filing the action say their clients, two women who were in unrelated traffic accidents in April and May 2013, were victims of “unreasonable, unconscionable and unlawful pricing and billing practices.”
Pediatricians in Florida could see relief from low Medicaid payments posted on 8/19/14
by Nick Madigan | Miami Herald
After years of hearings and delays, the possible resolution this fall of a class-action lawsuit against Florida health and child-welfare officials could mean that physicans will at last receive what they consider to be adequate compensation for treating children of the poor.
The lawsuit, filed in 2005 by pediatricians, dentists and nine children against the Agency for Health Care Administration, the Department of Children and Families and the Department of Health, claimed that Florida violated federal law by providing inadequate Medicaid services to children, and that their care had been hampered by low Medicaid payments to doctors. A federal judge is expected to rule on the case in October.
Medicaid payments to pediatricians — and to primary-care doctors in general — were bumped up for two years by the Affordable Care Act. But that will end Dec. 31, and the Florida Legislature’s passage of $3.4 million in increased Medicaid payments to pediatricians for the coming fiscal year doesn’t come close to achieving parity with federal Medicare levels for comparable services.
If the lawsuit goes the plaintiffs’ way, the state might have to come up with about $227 million a year, according to AHCA, to permanently increase payment rates to pediatricians and dentists — although an appeal would likely delay the change.
That leaves some physicians in Florida in a state of limbo, not knowing how much they will be paid or when.
“I can’t be playing games with the government,” said Bruce Eisenberg, a Miami Beach pediatrician who, like many doctors in Florida, reduced his Medicaid caseload over the years to less than 10 percent of his practice because of the traditionally low payments. He and other physicians say they usually operate at a loss when they treat patients under Medicaid.
“I sort of do it as a service to the community,” said Eisenberg, who has been a pediatrician for 25 years. Before the ACA hikes went into effect, he said, Medicaid rates paid to Florida doctors for most procedures were about half as much as those set by Medicare, the federal health insurance program for people aged 65 or older. Many physicians have elected to stay out of the system altogether, leaving low-income families with little option but to turn to emergency rooms or urgent-care clinics when they are ill.
If the payment rates are not permanently improved, “I definitely won’t be increasing my percentage of Medicaid patients,” Eisenberg said. “I could be seeing a lot of other patients who could be paying fairly for my time. My time is valuable.”

As we approach Maria Montessori’s birthday it is an ideal time to reflect on her beginnings and her philosophy, developed over the years through observation of children interacting with their environment and trial and error to provide the ideal classroom to provide them with the freedom to choose in a disciplined arena.
When some people mention Montessori Schools, they refer to ‘those schools where the children can do what they want and where there is no discipline’. Yet when they observe a classroom in action, in a Montessori School, they are amazed at how organized everything is.
Children are working individually or in small groups. Some are choosing their own work or observing others at work. The facilitator might be presenting an activity to a child. The environment suits the needs of the child. The facilitator will ensure that it is well organized and suitable material laid out on the shelf, thus enabling the child to concentrate. By choosing their own work, they are more likely to focus.
Discipline happens when the children are –
- aware of the ground rules,
- can choose work that interests them during the work cycle and
- are a part of the social cohesion.
Freedom within limits allows independence and encourages responsibility. It is important to ensure that there are appropriate educational and Montessori materials for the child to develop.
All of this enables the child to develop socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually.
Our featured items this week include 2 books on Maria Montessori’s life from different perspectives. The one book, written by Rita Kramer focuses on the intellectual and social climate of Italy during Dr Montessori’s formative years and then onto her experiences in Childrens House that helped develop her philosophy. The other book Maria Montessori: Her Life and Work, is important background reading for parents considering Montessori education for their children, as well as for those training to become Montessori teachers.

Editorial: Applause for health care compromise
Wonder of wonders: House Speaker John Boehner and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi compromised on crucial health care legislation last week for the good of all Americans, and the deal actually passed by a resounding 392-37 vote.
The Senate still needs to ratify the bill ending a two-decade fight over the Medicare formula for paying doctors and extending the children's health insurance program for two years. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell couldn't rally his troops to quick action, but we're hopeful they'll succeed after a two-week recess.
So let's savor the moment:
"I hope it will be a model of things to come," Pelosi said.
"This is what we can accomplish when we focus on finding common ground," Boehner said.
And from President Obama: "This is how Congress is supposed to work."
Some Republicans senators say the $144 billion program is too expensive. Some Democrats want a longer extension of the children's health care program. Sounds like a compromise to us.
If Boehner and Pelosi can produce a strong consensus in their bitterly divided house, surely McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid can rally their troops to concur.
Republicans have objected to the Medicare fee system for years because it provides incentives for doctors to do more work and order more procedures. Boehner essentially proposed rewarding doctors for the quality of their work rather than the quantity.
What a coincidence. This is precisely the spirit of President Obama's Affordable Care Act. That may help Reid, if not McConnell, to get his senators in line.
Doctors face a 21 percent cut in Medicare fees if Congress fails to act by April 21. This will endanger senior citizens' access to health care.
The House bill provides for 0.5 percent rate increases for the next four years — hardly a windfall — with a more sustainable long-term payment schedule.
The lever Boehner used to bring Pelosi to the table was the State Children's Health Insurance Progra, which is extremely popular with Democrats.
Pelosi wanted a four-year extension of the SCHIP funding but agreed to two years when Boehner offered to ease GOP opposition to regular payment fee increases for Medicare docs.
Interestingly, it was bipartisan leadership that created SCHIP for low-income families in 1997.
Boehner and Pelosi may have revived that tradition of bipartisanship on big issues.
The Senate never really sank to the no-compromise-ever depths of the House in the wake of Obama's election, so we're hopeful that Reid and McConnell will grasp this opportunity to vindicate all of Congress by actually getting something done.

We have create 6 sec Youtube bumpers.
The video is a car on the road and the high beam of the oncoming traffic
gets progressively brighter until it blinds the entire screen.
We have created an illusion post for Facebook where
as the high beams get brighter the caption, the like, comment
and share button as well as a comment will be blinded.
We have distributed car stickers that will illuminate a message when it is only hit by a high beam.
The message "You Are Blinding Me" is simple and to the point like the ones we are used to seeing on the road,
like “baby on board”, “keep distance”, etc.

Central government's spending watchdog has called on the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) and the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to work with departments on new goals for the sustainable procurement of ICT. In a report on the environmental impact of government procurement, the National Audit Office says …
Do you plant a silicon tree for every PC you buy?
Offset the plastic in your keyboard by throwing a sacrificial lamb into an oil well?
Maybe if oil conglomerates invested in renewable energy resources and manufacturing techniques, they would benefit from profiting in the future, and help essentially the entire world take better care of the resources we have left.
Too bad they're all dicks.
Well, there is a first?
One government department voicing views of how other government departments can do better?
And another thing!!!
Its the friggin beancounters like NAO that have made the public sector IT procurement experience akin to wading through a tar pit dragging an elephant - and then they complain that its a bit slow playing catch-up to the latest green fad.

Read this book - for it can change your life.
This book can help you discover the life you have always wanted.
It can do that, if you use this book in the right way which I (happily) will just happen to describe in some detail.
First I'll tell you what the book is and what it contains.
Then I'll give you my recommendation on how to use this book.
This is a big book. It can be a bit daunting looking at its size and thumbing through its pages.
This book is a labor of love from Ken Boa.
(Ken - a personal thank-you. I am sure you will write many more books and add them to your list of publications, but this one may be your Magna Opus. If you surpass it with a later book... !).
Boa has sweepingly studied and understood the wide gamut of Christian spirituality in all its many traditions and expressions. And he has nicely summarized his findings in a well organized, biblically rich, pastorally sensitive, spiritually wise offering.
Make no mistake, this book is solid theology and savory spirituality. Boa invites you to think wisely and experience widely of God's manifold richness. It is always grounded in the Scriptures and yet always oriented toward the practical expression of truth.
This book is substantially informed with nuggets of gold from the great spiritual writers and devotional classics, both ancient and contemporary. it is warmly Evangelical and widely Ecumenical in its scope.Read more ›

The economy-focused corner of the web was enthralled this week by the "Battle of the Beards": Paul Krugman vs. Ben Bernanke, says Paul La Monica at CNNMoney. The first salvo came Sunday, when Nobel-winning economist Krugman took Federal Reserve chairman Bernanke to task in The New York Times Magazine for being more timid in juicing the economy as Fed chief than he'd advised as an academic, leading to unnecessarily high unemployment. Krugman then "geeked out," hypothesizing that his former Princeton colleague had been "assimilated by the Fed Borg, like Capt. Jean-Luc Picard in a famous Star Trek episode, converted into a half-robot servant of a hive-mind." In an unexpected rebuttal, Bernanke told reporters Wednesday that Krugman's advice, to temporarily increase inflation to try to lower unemployment, is "very reckless" and "unwise." Krugman shot back that the chairman's response proves his point about Bernanke and the Fed Borg. Who's right?
The Borg has changed Bernanke: I had chalked up the striking difference between Professor Bernanke's bold solutions and Chairman Bernanke's costly inaction to political pressures, says Noah Kristula-Green at The Daily Beast. But Krugman persuaded me that Bernanke started shifting toward the Fed's more hands-off approach soon after joining in 2002. And that "raises a frightening question: If this is what happens to someone who used to espouse aggressive monetary policy, what will happen to someone more timid?"
"What if Bernanke was always less aggressive than we thought?"
Bernanke hasn't been assimilated: "Bernanke vs. Krugman is fun to watch, but it's a false dichotomy," says Greg Ip at The Economist. Bernanke may have sounded like a tight-money, low-inflation hawk when he swatted away Krugman's analysis, but the rest of his comments and the economic projections he released suggest otherwise. Judging from those projections, it seems that 13 of the 17 members of the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee want to tighten sooner than Bernanke does, which would imply that Bernanke's "still a dove," and "increasingly an isolated dove" on the Fed. His views will prevail while he's chairman, until 2014, but then Krugman and others pushing for an aggressive Fed will lose "the best ally they've got."
The Fed isn't a one-man committee: "I don't think we really know what the Fed chief is saying," says Ezra Klein at The Washington Post. Bernanke agrees with Krugman that the Fed has tools it isn't using, but the two economists disagree over whether using them is worth the risks for the number of jobs created. What Bernanke thinks only partly matters, though: He's outgunned by the hawks, thanks to open Federal Reserve Board seats President Obama can't fill. Not doing so "when he had 60 votes in the Senate is likely to go down as one of Obama's costlier mistakes."

SummerSalt is a lovely secluded 4 bedroom/3 bath villa at the end of a quiet private lane just above Smuggler's Cove on Tortola's breathtaking West End. The home is designed for airy, easy, and casual yet gracious living. Comprised of two separate living quarters, a main house and guest cottage, SummerSalt affords plenty of space, privacy, and flexibility. The large rooms all have terraces which give way even larger views. The main living areas include an expansive great room that flows out onto the veranda and on to the pool and gardens which are all located on the same level reducing the need to go up and down stairs throughout the day.
The villa is just a few hundred feet from, and less than a 5 minute walk to, Smuggler's Cove, which is widely considered one of the best beaches in the BVI. Additionally, SummerSalt is just a 10 minute drive to Soper’s Hole and it's marina, shops, dining, and groceries. There you can dine at Pusser's, stock up on food and drinks at the Harbour Market, or get outfitted for fishing, surfing, and more at Island Surf and Sail. Soper's Hole is also home to sailing charters like Aristocat, Kuralu, and Voyage Charters which offer day sails as well as bareboat and crewed charters. There you can also find Tortola's premier PADI scuba shop and dive tour operator Blue Water Divers. Just on the other side of the marina is the Jolly Roger restaurant and the West End ferry dock. Having the ferry so close means that you'll be getting settled in to you vacation just minutes after you arrive.
The main villa at SummerSalt has an expansive great room with dramatic vaulted ceiling and French doors opening to the covered al fresco dining porch, pool terrace and covered veranda. Step from the master bedroom, into the great room, onto the terrace, and into the pool, with no stairways to navigate between kitchen and pool. A 12-foot long custom-made mahogany bar/peninsula spans the professionally designed kitchen allowing several "chefs" to work simultaneously. The master bedroom has its own set of wide French doors opening to the veranda, a king-sized bed, and private master bath with an even more private outdoor stone shower with hidden views of Smuggler's. Downstairs in the main house are 2 additional bedrooms both of which can each be set up as either 2 twin beds or 1 king, depending on your preference.
The charming guest cottage has a its own living room, as well as it's own kitchen with custom mahogany cabinets, and a private covered dining porch. The cottage's air conditioned bedroom is equipped with a queen sized bed and a private bath.
Each of SummerSalt's two villas is equipped with a TV, DVD, VCR, IPod docking/CD stereo system, hotel safe, telephone, alarm clock, and hair dryer. In addition, the main house has an Bose outdoor speaker system, combination fax/answering machine, cordless telephone and collections of DVDs, CDs, movies, and extensive set of books. as well as a house computer and high speed WiFi internet access. Every room and vantage point offers unique and breathtaking vistas of Smuggler's Cove, Jost Van Dyke, Sandy Cay, and a handful other islands.
Maid service is included both prior to your arrival and again mid week, and there is an on-island manager is close by to lend a hand but only when you decide you'd like assistance. Food and spirits can be provisioned for your arrival (free with qualifying purchase), or a personal chef, or daily maid service can be all arranged to ease your stay.
What distinguishes SummerSalt?
It's in the details. It's things like the fruit trees that are a part of the gardens. Grown exclusively with rainwater, our guests can pick fresh organic heirloom bananas, limes, coconuts, mangoes, and even exotic soursops -- all of which are very different than those commercially available back home. It's other subtleties too, like our fair employment practices which pay our employees on salary (not just when we need them) and well above the prevailing wage. This, in turn, supports a sustainable community. In fact, every person who works with us to make SummerSalt great has each been with us for at least ten years.
SummerSalt is further set apart by it's main living area all being situated on one floor which avoids having to repeatedly trudge up and down stairs whenever you need a snack or your margarita or bushwhacker or painkiller refreshed. The villa is additionally differentiated by the gracious size of the eating areas which seat over 10 people quite comfortably. Another unique characteristic of the home is it's location. SummerSalt boasts nearly 180 degrees of unobstructed views but also has a private path that brings you to the beach in less than 5 minutes. This is a feature that is truly uncommon in that most villas in the BVI offer either one or the other, but very seldom both.

At a time when player arrests are (sort of) decreasing, plenty NFL athletes still find themselves riding in the back seat of a car with no door handles or window buttons.
The latest? Saints safety Usama Young was arrested Monday for reckless operation of a motor vehicle and flight from an officer using a motor vehicle.
“They got behind him, they put on the lights and sirens and he went about a half-mile before he pulled over,” Harahan, Louisiana police chief Peter Dale told the New Orleans Times-Picayune regarding the flight charge. “He didn’t give them any trouble. He was cooperative.”
Young also was booked on a “municipal traffic attachment,” which arises from a December 18 ticket for parking in a handicapped parking space.
Young was released from jail after posting $7,500 bond.
The third-year defender appeared in 15 games last season, starting two of them. He is currently listed as the second-string free safety, behind Darren Sharper.

Petition of William Taylor.
To the Honble Senate & the honble House of Representatives
for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in General Court assembled
The Petition of William Taylor Esquire of Milton in the county of Suffolk | Humbly shews | That on the thirteenth day of November one thousand seven hundred and sixty seven, your Petitioner being indebted to Thomas Lane Esq' of London in the sum of one thousand nine hundred and twenty one pounds eleven Shillings, lawful money, he gave his bond for that sum upon interest, to said Lane, and as a collateral security for the payment thereof he gave his deed of mortgage of the following lotts of land, viz' a Lott of land called No. 18 lying in Pownalborough containing thirty two hundred acres, also two lotts of land call’d N° 11, & N° 68. both lying in Hallowell containing four hundred acres each, also one other lott of land marked N° 15 lying in Gardineston, containing five thousand acres —
That M' Lane sued out the said Bond and at the Sup' Court of Judicature held at Boston for the county of Suffolk in February 1772 recovered judgment thereon against your Petitioner for the sum of two thousand four hundred and fourteen pounds fifteen shillings lawful money. And Richard Lechmore esquire as agent & attorney to said Lane was very pressing upon your Petitioner for the money, but the times being then difficult it was out of his power to discharge the said Judgment, and he was oblidg'd in order to satisfy the said Lechmere, on the second day of June 1772, as a further security for sa debt to give his other mortgage to said Lane of three other tracts of land viz' a Lott of land marked A 1. lying in Winslow containing six thousand five hundred and eighty acres, Also of a Lott of land marked B E 1. containing seven thousand two hundred acres, and also of a lott of land marked C C 2. containing seven thousand two hundred acres, both lying higher up Kennebeck River (That the first mentioned thirty two hundred acre lott of land as your Petitioner then thought and still conceives was the full value of his said debt. Notwithstanding which your Petitioner to pacify Mr Lechmere & procure his further forbearance mortgaged all the other before mentioned tracts of land; But Mr. Lechemere not content therewith was so hard and cruel as to insist upon having some further security, whereupon to avoid an arrest the said Taylor made an additional mortgage to the said Lane of one twenty fourth part of all the undivided lands belonging to the proprietors of the Kenneck purchase being all his right therein.
The said William humbly begs leave to represent that a great part of the land above described is charg'd with the payment of taxes, and has in fact been sold at publick vendue by the collector for that purpose, the time of redemption is now almost expired, and unless some provision is made to recover the said estate a total loss thereof must ensue as well in regard to your petitioner as all others therein concern'd
He has no disposition to defraud his creditors and for three years past has been indefatigable in his endeavours to make such an adjustment as will give satisfaction to them and do justice to himself—the said lands could be sold for a sum far exceeding the debt, but in these circumstances it cannot be accomplished — Wherefore he prays that this Honble Court

Posted on Jan 10, 2023, 7am
The beginning of the year begins not only with the ritual of (often pious) vows, but also with announcements. Some of them call themselves “historic”. A bit like the moment we are going through in the face of the climate crisis, which some still wonder if we could have foreseen.
So, of course, we can only rejoice in the face of leaders who set an example based on these announcements. But some are not the object of any debate, controversy or even questioning.
In my mailbox: “an historic decision”
This is the case of Pascal Demurger, managing director of the insurance company MAIF, of which I am a client-partner. This status allowed me to receive a wonderful email with the subject “A historic decision”. The latter informing me “with emotion and pride” that 10% of my insurance company’s profits would be redirected to the planet. It’s 10 million euros a year. An “ecological dividend” very similar to the “social dividend” announced the same day by the mutual bank Crédit Mutuel, which plans to allocate 15% of its net profit to environmental and social initiatives (two billion euros over the next five years).
I listened with great attention to Pascal Demurger’s explanation at the microphone of Léa Salamé on Thursday, January 5th. This 10% will be distributed as follows:
– Solidarity action in favor of vulnerable adherent customers, that is, exposed to climatic risks and in more difficult economic situations, namely with risk prevention diagnoses at home and support for obtaining aid.
– Financing actions to regenerate biodiversity, in order to strengthen the resilience of territories in the face of climate consequences.
So is it really 10 million in the service of the planet?
Yes and no.
Yes when it comes to accelerating the regeneration of biodiversity. It should be noted, however, that in this way it is also a question of limiting the risks of subscribing customers and, therefore, of limiting the value of the premiums distributed by the MAIF in the event of natural catastrophes.
And not when it comes to the insurer’s responsibility vis-à-vis these adherent customers: that is, predicting and limiting their risk in their homes. Diagnostic actions should not be included in that 10%, as they should be part of an insurer’s mission.
Insurers at risk and we should all be concerned
2022 was the most expensive year in history for insurers, i.e. eight billion euros in premiums awarded in France with the number one risk: the climatic consequences (drought, forest fires, storms, hail, floods, lightning, etc.) . The cost of natural risks will continue to grow at a rate doubling every 30 years, France Assureurs had already warned in a study at the end of 2021. The threat is real to the economic sustainability of insurers.
And we collectively need to be concerned about this. Like so many others, the insurance business changes with the weather. And so ideas could also be discussed and defended, especially more frankly.
What if we asked our member customers for their opinion?
MAIF’s mutualist model, without shareholders to be paid in the traditional form of dividends, streamlines the distribution of the structure’s profit, which belongs to its associated clients. Profits generated mainly after investments made in real estate, start-ups and thanks to good asset management. However, not having shareholders does not mean not being accountable to those who trust the partner they choose to manage their individual interests, that is, the associated clients themselves. And accountants, this requires sincerity in the implemented actions.
Also, as an “activist insurer”, why not ask member customers themselves how they want to award that 10% of profits?
Perhaps there would be actions that depended more on associative social innovators, who no longer have shareholders and are also accountable to their many beneficiaries.
So yes, my insurance company’s ad is good and should inspire other companies. But that shouldn’t stop us from qualifying and discussing it.

BY DANIEL T. GOMES
Few novels have chapters so rich and impacting they can stand apart from the rest of the book, yet this is precisely what has happened with the story of “The Grand Inquisitor,” from Fyodor Dostoevsky’s final novel, The Brothers Karamazov. In a shocking, unapologetic tale, Dostoevsky expounds on one of the most baffling questions ever put forth: “What would happen if Christ came back to earth?”
The last book of famous Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov, was able to both fascinate and influence some of the greatest minds of modern history, from Einstein to Freud and to Camus. Its thought-provoking plot surrounding a dysfunctional family’s reunion and its consequences, together with the philosophical themes present in the story, continues to amaze readers to this day. Yet there is in this novel one chapter – or rather, part of one chapter – that has earned more than enough popularity to stand on its own feet and earn a name for itself. This is the story of “The Grand Inquisitor.”
The story comes up as two of the novel’s main characters, brothers Ivan and Alyosha Karamazov, get to truly know each other over dinner after several years of separation. Ivan, a nihilist, confronts Alyosha, a devout Christian and a novice at the local monastery, about the latter’s yearning to find out whether the former believes in God or not. Ivan explains his struggle with the problem of evil and suffering in the world, concluding that he cannot bring himself to align with a deity that would allow His creation to endure so much pain and injustice. In response, Alyosha reminds his brother of Christ’s sacrifice, who painfully and unjustly died for mankind’s sins. Ivan, however, is not surprised with the answer, and thus presents his “poem” in order to prove his point.
Ivan begins the story with Christ coming to earth in human form once more at the height of the Spanish Inquisition, eventually arriving to Seville. Common people recognize the Christ as He makes His way to the cathedral. Christ begins to perform miracles much like he did in the Gospels, including raising the dead; the Grand Inquisitor witnesses this and, rather than openly acknowledge Christ as Lord, he has Him arrested by his guards.
Later that night, the Grand Inquisitor appears to the incarcerated Christ. What follows is a long, vicious tirade from the Inquisitor on Christ’s failure to make men truly happy by giving them freedom – a failure that the Inquisitor believes to have been finally corrected by the Church through the works of the Inquisition. The old Inquisitor goes on to explain how Satan’s temptations in the wilderness were actually opportunities for Jesus to establish His Kingdom on earth, and how by granting freedom in faith Christ imposed a burden far too heavy on mankind. The Inquisitor also claims he and others like him have taken upon themselves to guide the “thousands of millions” to earthly happiness, even if that may end in eternal death and destruction, and that he would not allow Christ to interfere with his work. All throughout this extensive lecture, Jesus remains silent. His only response to the Inquisitor is a kiss that catches the old man off-guard; the Inquisitor then frees Him, telling Him to never come back.
Despite its ambiguous conclusion, “The Grand Inquisitor” remains one of the most emphatic and relevant tracts of Dostoevsky’s novel. It forces its readers to envision a peculiar version of the second coming of Christ, to step into the mind of this old clergyman and to carefully consider his rationale. Embracing themes such as free will, the fallen nature of man and suffering, the “poem” is celebrated by religious and secular readers alike to this day. Its poignant appeal and remarkable deliberations serve to make this story an essential part of our tenth issue, especially dedicated to historical works.

Looking forward to creating with you!


So going from what ive read so far in this thread, the HW pcp is not regged because it does not have a proper reg, which is seen as a self contained unit ie: like the Steyr reg.
Even in this case the air in the HW is still being regulated by the 'non-self contained unit', hence its a regulated rifle (as cam has pointed out it works in the same way as the steyr reg). the fact the parts that regulate the air are not in a self contained unit has no baring on whether the rifle is regulated.
As far as calling it a metering system of sorts, all reg's are a metering system of sort's.
