at time of mithering review, i haven't finished reading it, but its good so far, and some nice touches, an example is " only Soval could go to Andoria", mentioned by Troi to Tuvok (i think). A nice echo of Spocks diatribe in ST6: " only Nixon could go to China".

In almost the first three quarters of 2020, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”) has settled three cases related to alleged violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), totaling $1,165,000. These settlements underscore OCR’s continued focus on enforcement of the HIPAA Security Rule.
New Annual HIPAA Penalty Tiers
Six months after imposing the largest ever HIPAA fine ($16 million) following a HIPAA data breach, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”) has announced that it is exercising its enforcement discretion to lower maximum annual HIPAA penalties.
On December 28, 2018, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a four-volume cybersecurity guidance document for healthcare organizations. The publication, “Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices: Managing Threats and Protecting Patients” (HICP), is the result of a government and industry collaboration mandated by the Cybersecurity Act of 2015. The HICP is not limited to individually identifiable health information but instead covers organizations’ enterprise-level information security more generally. HHS describes the publication as “practical, understandable, implementable, industry-led, and consensus-based voluntary cybersecurity guidelines to cost-effectively reduce cybersecurity risks for healthcare organizations of varying sizes.” Notwithstanding their voluntary nature, these HHS-backed cybersecurity recommendations are likely to serve as an important reference point for the industry. (more…)
On December 14, 2018, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) published in the Federal Register a request for information (RFI) titled “Modifying HIPAA Rules to Improve Coordinated Care.” The RFI seeks public input on a broad range of potential reforms to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations with a focus on enhancing care coordination. Though only a preliminary step on the path to potential regulatory reform, the RFI’s scope is significant, as is the opportunity it affords stakeholders interested in sharing early input as HHS considers reforms to key health information privacy requirements. (more…)
The Administration is preparing to release a Request for Information (“RFI”) on potential modifications to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) rules. The draft RFI was recently submitted by the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) to the White House’s Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) for pre-release review.
In a recent speech outlining the Trump Administration’s healthcare regulatory reform efforts, Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Alex Azar announced that the Administration will soon begin considering changes to federal health privacy regulations. (more…)
On Thursday, August 4, 2016, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announced that Advocate Health Care Center (Advocate Health) agreed to pay $5.55 million to settle multiple violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). This is the largest HIPAA settlement to date against a single entity, and according to OCR, is due to the severity of the HIPAA violations and the length of time that those violations were allowed to persist. OCR alleged that in some instances, the purported violations date back to the effective date of the HIPAA Security Rule.
On June 24, 2016, Catholic Health Care Services of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia (“CHCS”) entered into a resolution agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”) to settle potential violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) Security Rule after the theft of a CHCS mobile device compromised the protected health information (“PHI”) of 412 nursing home residents. This is OCR’s first settlement with a HIPAA business associate. As part of the settlement, CHCS agreed to enter into a two-year corrective action plan (“CAP”) and pay a monetary penalty of $650,000.
On October 16, the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts filed a criminal information against a former Warner Chilcott district manager alleging that he had obtained and used patient protected health information (PHI) in violation of the criminal provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). The information alleges that this criminal violation occurred in connection with a scheme to promote Warner Chilcott’s osteoporosis drug Atelvia. The charge against former employee Landon Eckles is significant because it appears to be the first time a criminal prosecution under HIPAA has been brought against an employee of a pharmaceutical manufacturer for an alleged HIPAA privacy violation. Eckles pleaded guilty to the charges on November 12.

Jury selected for Rubio trial.
POSTED: Saturday, February 20, 2010 - 8:36am
UPDATED: Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 11:35am
A jury has been selected for the trial of John Allen Rubio who is accused of killing his three children.
Six men and women along with two female alternates were chosen Thursday evening. The panel will decide if Rubio is mentally competent to stand a second trial. A jury first convicted Rubio of murder in 2003 for the deaths of three children, two of them which were his own. That conviction was overturned in an appeal in 2007.


Leslie Depot Diner owner Pam Wheeler said location scouts approached her about shooting a scene of "Real Steel" in the restaurant.
Director Shawn Levy has visited the diner, and a representative from DreamWorks Pictures met with City Manager Brian Reed about how the city can help facilitate the single-day shoot, scheduled for Aug. 24.
During Levy's visit, Wheeler said, the director identified some people in the restaurant he wanted to serve as extras.
"We're pretty excited," she said. "Who wouldn't be?"
The movie stars Hugh Jackman and has been described as "Rocky" with robots. Jackman plays a former boxer struggling to find his place in a world where machines have replaced humans in the ring. He gets a shot at redemption when he reconnects with his 11-year-old son.
The Michigan Film Office had photographed the restaurant as an option to present to productions looking for shooting locations.
Wheeler's mother opened the diner in the city's old train station in 1984. Wheeler and her husband bought it last year.
According to Variety, the film has a budget of about $80 million — a relatively modest sum for an action movie, but much larger than the independent dramas that recently have filmed in Jackson.
The latest project approved for Michigan's tax incentives for filmmakers, "Real Steel" will film throughout the state starting in June. It is scheduled for a 2011 release.

Weld jury finds LaSalle man guilty of sexually assaulting child
A jury on Monday found a 35-year-old LaSalle man guilty of sexual assault on a child — pattern of abuse by an adult in a position of trust, a class-3 felony, following a six-day trial.
The man, whose name is being withheld by The Tribune to protect the identity of the victim, was accused in October 2012 of sexually assaulting his daughter and another girl.
The Weld District Attorney’s Office charged the man with two counts of sexual assault on a child, but a jury found him not guilty of the second charge.
He will be sentenced Oct. 7 by a Weld District Judge.

Research over the past two decades broadly supports the claim that mindfulness meditation — practiced widely for the reduction of stress and promotion of health — exerts beneficial effects on physical and mental health, and cognitive performance. Recent neuroimaging studies have begun to uncover the brain areas and networks that mediate these positive effects.
However, the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear, and it is apparent that more methodologically rigorous studies are required if we are to gain a full understanding of the neuronal and molecular bases of the changes in the brain that accompany mindfulness meditation.
Guglietti, C. L., et al. (2012). Meditation-related increases in GABA(B) modulated cortical inhibition. Brain Stimulation, online September. [Abstract].
Recent reports suggest meditation practice improves attentional performance and emotional regulation. The process of meditation apparently increases activation in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and stimulates the reticular nucleus of the thalamus, implicating the production and delivery of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABAergic inhibitory interneurons have a central role in cortical inhibition (CI), modulating cortical excitability and neural plasticity.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive method of examining CI, was used to evaluate changes before and after a 60 min meditation session. Seventy right-handed healthy subjects (n = 35 meditators, n = 35 non-meditators) were assessed.
Findings indicate meditation processes are linked to GABAergic cortical inhibition, a mechanism previously implicated in improved cognitive performance and enhanced emotional regulation.

Denis Shapovalov on low prize money and ‘depressing’ bubbles as he warns of more high-profile withdrawals
He still plays regularly on the ATP Tour as enjoys competing, but Denis Shapovalov has warned that the bubbles and low prize money are starting to take its toll as many players “don’t want to play at all” at the moment.
With the coronavirus pandemic having a widespread financial impact, most tournaments have reduced prize money since the Tour resumed in August last year.
Shapovalov, who booked a place in the semi-final of the Dubai Tennis Championships on Thursday, will only walk away with a cheque of $149,490 if he lifts the trophy on Sunday, which is some way off the $565,705 Novak Djokovic received last year for winning the title last year.
The world No 12 admits players are not very motivated to play because of the prize money, but many are obligated to compete by their sponsors.
Spoke to Shapovalov about the⬇in prize money & whether it’ll lead to more withdrawals @ events
“We have obligations from sponsors, contracts that obligate us to play so that’s def 1 reason why a lot of players are still playing, otherwise a lot of players wouldn’t play at all” pic.twitter.com/KtVae9QCSW
— Reem Abulleil (@ReemAbulleil) March 18, 2021
“I definitely think there’s going to be a lot of withdrawals and a lot of people not going to tournaments because the prize money is low,” he said.
“In a way it’s not motivating to play every week and play all the big tournaments because there’s not really a lot in it for us other than the Slams at this point that are paying just as much or better, like in Australia this year.
“For sure, it is difficult for the players, but we’re in this situation and hopefully the ATP or someone can do something to improve the prize money and bring it back to what it was. We have other obligations from sponsors, contracts that obligate us to play as well.
“So for sure, that’s definitely one reason why a lot of players are still playing, because otherwise, I feel like a lot of players just don’t want to play at all.”
Another demoralising issue is the bubbles that players have to stay in at tournaments with Shapovalov admitting it is “very draining”.
Next week’s Miami Open has been hit by high-profile withdrawals with Rafael Nadal and Dominic Thiem both skipping the event.
Although the 21-year-old Shapovalov is finding new ways to stay motivated, he admits it is easy to see why big-name players are not keen entering ATP 500 and Masters events.
“I’m just playing because I enjoy it, I enjoy playing the big tournaments,” he said. “But I am also finding other ways to get motivated. I went to Doha and Dubai this year, which are new tournaments for me, so it’s exciting, it’s something new.
“And I am trying not to play a lot, just to stay out of the bubbles too because it is very mentally draining. And I felt that last year, by the end of it. It was depressing to be out there.
“There are ways that I’m trying to cope with it and for sure I think the reason why I’m playing, again, are contractual obligations but also I’m playing the big tournaments because I do love to play the big events and I do want to still achieve certain things.
“I want to win big tournaments, I want to go up the rankings but I think for the bigger guys it’s not really motivating. They’ve been there, they’ve won Masters, they’ve won Slams, so they don’t have a reason to go and play.”

Policemen hurt in night of violence
A WOMAN OFFERS A HELPING HAND TO AN INJURED POLICEMAN : Photo © Derek Bishton
ON THE Spring Bank Holiday 1980 (May Day) John Reardon and I were working at the Sidelines office in Grove Lane. There were a few people on the corner opposite where the local betting shop was doing good business. Suddenly a police panda car screamed to a halt outside the shop and two policemen attempted to arrest a young black man. A crowd quickly gathered. We were watching from the upstairs window of our building. The crowd surrounded the policemen who were holding their suspect and moments later the two police lay on the floor and the crowd melted away.
This is the way the following day’s Evening Mail (May 6, 1980) reported the incident under the headline ‘Policemen hurt in night of violence’:
“Two police constables were lying battered and bruised in hospital today after a brutal attack on them nearly turned into a major riot.
The night of violence ended with an angry mob of 200 of the sizeable black community in the Handsworth district of Birmingham surrounding a local police station and threatening to storm it.
Coloured people were jeering, hurling abuse and pelting stones – and only heavy police reinforcements prevented the Thornhill Road police station being overrun.
The drama began less than an hour earlier when police constable Nicholas Chandler, 24, and 20-year-old Ian Brown were kicked and beaten unconscious.
After one youth had been arrested in connection with a burglary at an Indian club in Soho Road, the constables tried to question a suspect in Grove Lane, a quarter-of-a-mile away.
Trouble flared as the officers tried to detain the teenager and fighting broke out with other youths.
A large number of people poured out of a nearby betting shop and as the constables were battered to the pavement, onlookers threw bricks and aimed kicks at them.
Within minutes, major police reinforcements were met by an angry mob who tried to prevent them taking the unconscious officers to safety. Stones were thrown at police cars as tempers erupted.
Today PC Chandler was in Dudley Road Hospital recovering from a broken collarbone, fractured ribs and internal bleeding. PC Brown was in the same hospital with severe concussion.
Police from all over Birmingham eventually persuaded the crowd to disperse.
Today a man was appearing before city magistrates accused of attempted robbery. A man and a woman were also due in court charged with wounding.”
The woman was Myrtle Edwards, a Jamaican-born hospital worker, who along with her two sons was arrested and charged with assaulting the two policemen, who had stopped one of the sons and tried to take him away on a burglary charge. In fact, it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity – all black men look the same to rookie 20-year-old white probationer coppers. They should have checked more carefully before they attempted to detain him.
There were a number of glaring inaccuracies in the Evening Mail report. Although neither John or I actually saw the assault on the policemen (it happened while we were running downstairs from our office and crossing the road) some local people tried to help the injured men, as my photograph shows. When the police reinforcements arrived, John was threatened by a senior officer and told not to take photographs (a request we both ignored).
When the road was finally flooded with police cars and uniformed and non-uniformed officers, the young man who was the original suspect – who had been en route to his mother’s house for a family meal – was dragged from the family house, along with his brother and their mother, who were all protesting their innocence. No stones were thrown. No blows exchanged.
Later, when the case came to trial, the judge criticised the policemen because they had broken just about every rule in the book and provoked a near riot. But he told Mrs Edwards: “Two policemen have been injured and someone must pay.” All three members of the family received six-month custodial sentences. Mrs Edwards, a regular attender at the Soho Road Baptist Church, told me after leaving prison: “The Lord knows I am innocent and I leave it to the Lord to deal with the wicked.”
This episode was the most blatant example that I witnessed first hand of the blind, racist response that characterised the way the police behaved in Handsworth at that time towards black people.

Doctors have called for the removal of limits on pay for locum medics, following Government attempts to clamp down on “extortionate” payments.
The British Medical Association has voted to campaign against the restrictions – and to boycott hospitals which try to enforce them.
Medics said it was an “insult” that the limits meant a driving instructor or fitness trainer could earn more for a day's work than a junior doctor.
The new limits were introduced last November in an attempt to stop the NHS spending up to £3,500 per doctor, per shift.
Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, announced the rules amid spiralling spending on agency doctors and nurses, which have fuelled the highest deficit in the history of the health service.
During a debate on Thursday, Thomas Micklewright, a GP trainee, said the new rules meant a junior doctor could earn as little as a driving instructor or a fitness trainer, with rates of £25 an hour for senior house officers working normal hours, and £35 an hour for registrars.
He said: “This is a disgrace. Locuming is an active career choice for many including working parents and foreign doctors. Pay has always been flexible to reflect need and urgency.”
The trainee doctor said spiralling locum spending was a “consequence of a struggling NHS, not the cause.”
“The caps are short sighted, exacerbate the staff crisis and affect the livelihood of thousands of doctors. They are an insult to our profession,” he said.
Other doctors said the NHS would be unable to cope without agency doctors.
Dr Russell Walshaw, BMA Yorkshire regional council member, said: "There is a crisis. Locums work in all sectors of healthcare across the country and without them the providers would collapse. The supply is tight and good locums are worth a premium."
But some backed the limits on pay, warning that regular accounts of locum doctors earning as much as £500,000 a year were “tarnishing” the image of the rest of the profession.
Ahead of the vote, Dr Mark Porter, BMA chairman, urged doctors to oppose the cap, saying it “it is the right thing to do”.
He said high spending on locums had been driven by lack of resources to fill posts.
The current system of caps was introduced gradually, in the hope that this would force down the rates charged by agencies. They mean that since April temporary doctors and nurses should not be paid more than a permanent worker, once differences such as holiday and pensions are taken into account.
All 228 NHS trusts are supposed to comply with the new rules.
But latest weekly figures show just 14 trusts achieved this in the last week of April.
The same figures show more than 50,000 shifts were paid at rates exceeding the limits, including almost 16,000 by medical and dental staff.
Meanwhile the NHS has warned of the largest deficit in its history, with £3.6bn spent on agency workers in the last financial year - £1.4bn more than planned.
When he announced the clampdown last year, Mr Hunt said: “For too long staffing agencies have been able to rip off the NHS by charging extortionate hourly rates which cost billions of pounds a year and undermine staff working hard to deliver high-quality care.”
Katherine Murphy, chief executive of the Patients Association, said: “We absolutely believe there should be caps in place. Locums should only be used as a short-term measure to cover unexpected shortfalls, not as a regular staffing strategy. The current approach to using locum doctors and agency nurses is a runaway train.”
Earlier this year, Britain’s most senior Accident & Emergency doctor said that at several trusts, more than half of A&E shifts for doctors have gone unfilled since the cap was introduced.
Dr Cliff Mann, President of the College of Emergency Medicine, said that casualty units were becoming “overwhelmed” by patients, with too few doctors to see them.
In April an NHS trust said that it had been forced to close its A&E at night after attempting to turn to the army for help to plug shortages.
Lancashire Teaching Hospitals downgraded emergency care in Chorley after a number of locum doctors stopped working there, after the cap on agency pay was brought in.
The trust turned to the local Preston barracks for help, but was told they were unable to supply the doctors required, so no official request was pursued.
Since April, agency doctors and nurses are only supposed to be paid at rates of which are 55 per cent above those of NHS employees - the extra allowing for their lack of paid holiday, sick pay and pensions.


Does anyone have experience with large format SD cards in the Canon EOS 1D mark IV? Until recently I used a Sandisk Extreme 32GB CF card (60MB/s) without problems.
Last week I bought a Sandisk Extreme Pro 64GB SD card (95MB/s) and the only thing I get is a camera failure: 'Card2 cannot be accessed. Reinsert/change the card or format with camera'.
Formatting with the camera is not possible. Using/formatting the card om my PC is no problem, it is also working perfectly fine in a $150 camera... Anyone any idea? Is the 1D4 not able to read 64GB cards? I tried a 4GB SD card also and that one works without problems.

Businesses lack confidence says BCC
The latest Quarterly Economic Survey from the British Chambers of Commerce suggests that there is a very real threat of a double-dip recession.
After surveying over 6,000 firms, it is claiming that businesses lack confidence and are worried about the problems in the eurozone.
John Longworth is the director general of the the British Chamber of Commerce and he told the BBC the government needs to buy bonds and bank debt so that banks can start lending to businesses.

The NDMC-Le Meridien 'license fee' dispute has assumed a menacing turn with ex-chairman of the civic agency Jalaj Shrivastava locking horns with his successor Naresh Kumar over the issue.
Srivastava, who is facing CBI probe over charges of 'irregularities', has accused the present New Delhi Municipal Corporation chairman of hiding facts related to the case and also threatened him of legal action. Shrivastava, who is now serving as additional secretary in the Union Ministry of Agriculture, says the NDMC has deliberately withheld certain 'hand notings' from both the Delhi High Court and CBI.
He has written thrice to Kumar, since February 15. Mail Today is in possession of all the letters.
As alleged, Shrivastava, during his stint as NDMC chairperson, had arrived at a 'settlement' with the hotel in April 2015 over license fee arrears and interest dues amounting to Rs 150 crore. On 10 February, NDMC told the high court that it was a "fraud" as "actual liability of the luxury hotel is over Rs 400 crore".
NDMC secretary, Chanchal Yadav, though, has replied to Shrivastava, in a letter dated 24 February, saying, "Files related to M/s CJ International Hotels Limited (presently running Le Mridien), including your notings dated 20.4.2015 and 30.4.2015, have been provided to the CBI."
NDMC chairman Naresh Kumar, also, told Mail Today, "We are working in an ecosystem of the RTI therefore there is no question of hiding anything. I always try to work in a transparent way. Public interest is paramount to me." The Le Meridien management did not respond to Mail Today's calls and mails on the subject.
In his three written correspondence with Kumar, Shrivastava says, "I am already a victim of deliberate malice at the hands of some vested interests in the NDMC? the Le Mridien files weren't even shown to the KK Pathak Committee (set up by Ministry of Home Affairs to inquire on the issue). On the basis of this ill-informed appreciation of the case, the committee's recommendations were found serious enough to be entrusted to CBI."
In his last salvo to the NDMC, he says, "Yadav's letter is totally silent on whether all the records have been brought to the notice of the High Court," adding, "I would appreciate an early response as you are well aware that the next date of hearing is March 28 and I would have to take appropriate legal action against the persons responsible for such distortion, well ahead of the date."

Concord, Massachusetts, has lengthy been heralded because the birthplace of yankee liberty and American letters. It used to be the following that the 1st army engagement of the innovative struggle was once fought and right here that Thoreau got here to "live intentionally" at the beaches of Walden Pond. among the Revolution and the payment of the little cabin with the bean rows, despite the fact that, Walden Woods was once domestic to a number of generations of freed slaves and their teenagers. dwelling at the fringes of society, they tried to pursue lives of freedom, promised through the rhetoric of the Revolution, and but withheld by means of the perform of racism. Thoreau used to be all yet on my own in his try out "to conjure up the previous occupants of those woods." except the bankruptcy he dedicated to them in Walden, the historical past of slavery in harmony has been all yet forgotten.
In Black Walden: Slavery and Its Aftermath in harmony, Massachusetts, Elise Lemire brings to existence the previous slaves of Walden Woods and the lads and girls who held them in bondage throughout the eighteenth century. After charting the increase of harmony slaveholder John Cuming, Black Walden follows the struggles of Cuming's slave, Brister, as he makes an attempt to construct a existence for himself after thirty-five years of enslavement. Brister Freeman, as he got here to name himself, and different of the town's slaves have been capable of leverage the political tensions that fueled the yankee Revolution and strength their vendors into relinquishing them. as soon as emancipated, despite the fact that, the previous slaves have been authorised to squat on in basic terms the main distant and infertile areas. Walden Woods used to be certainly one of them. the following, Freeman and his buddies farmed, spun linen, made baskets, instructed fortunes, and in a different way attempted to outlive even with poverty and harassment.
Today Walden Woods is preserved as a spot for viewers to commune with nature. Lemire, who grew up miles from Walden Pond, reminds us that this was once a black area prior to it used to be an the world over identified eco-friendly area. Black Walden preserves the legacy of the folks who strove opposed to all odds to beat slavery and segregation.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Discouraging economic data from around the globe have heightened fears that another recession is on the way.
Fresh evidence emerged Thursday that U.S. home sales and manufacturing are weakening. Signs also surfaced that European banks are increasingly burdened by the region’s debt crisis and sputtering economy.
The rising anxiety ignited a huge sell-off in stocks that led many investors to seek the safety of U.S. Treasurys.
Economists say the economic weakness and the stock markets’ wild swings have begun to feed on themselves. Persistent drops in stock prices erode consumer and business confidence. Individuals and companies typically then spend and invest less. And when they do, stock prices tend to fall further.
“A negative feedback loop … now appears to be in the making” in both the United States and Europe, Joachim Fels and Manoj Pradhan, economists at Morgan Stanley, said in a report Thursday. Both economies are “dangerously close to a recession. … It won’t take much in the form of additional shocks to tip the balance.”
The risk of a recession is now about one in three, according to Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Among the worrisome economic signs:
? A survey of regional manufacturers by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia shows that manufacturing in the mid-Atlantic region contracted in August by the most in more than two years. The steep drop, on top of a smaller decline in a New York Fed survey this week, means U.S. manufacturing activity probably contracted in August, economists said.
It would be the first decline since July 2009 ? a worrisome sign because manufacturing has been a key source of U.S. growth in the two years since economists say the Great Recession ended.
? U.S. home sales fell in July for the third time in four months, the National Association of Realtors said. Sales are lagging behind last year’s pace ? the weakest since 1997. “There seems to be a correlation between the stock market and home prices,” said Andrew Davidson, a New York-based mortgage industry consultant.
? In Asia, Japan’s exports fell for a fifth straight month. The world’s No. 3 economy has fallen into a recession since its earthquake and tsunami in March. That’s diminishing a key buying market for many countries’ goods.
? Consumer prices rose 0.5 percent in July, mostly due to more expensive gas and food. The “core” price index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 0.2 percent. The higher prices add to the burdens for Americans already squeezed by stagnant pay, though economists don’t expect prices to rise much further.
Investors are also growing more anxious about Europe’s sputtering economy and its leaders’ ability to resolve the debt crisis. European bank stocks accelerated their fall Thursday.
Some of Europe’s banks may be running short of cash to run daily operations, analysts say. A widespread credit squeeze, if it occurred, could infect the global financial system, as it did before the 2008 financial crisis.
The European Central Bank said Thursday that one bank had borrowed $500 million a day for seven days through the ECB’s dollar lending program. It was the first time since February that a bank had used the program. The bank wasn’t identified.
After all the volatility of the past month, the Dow Jones industrial average has lost more than 14 percent since July 21. That includes Thursday’s drop of more than 419 points.
Some sectors of the U.S. economy still show strength. Retail sales are up. Gas prices have fallen. And job growth has been consistent.
Yet a consumer survey taken this month showed confidence in the economy fell to the lowest level in 31 years.
Morgan Stanley’s economists forecast that Congress will let a Social Security tax cut, a business tax credit and extended unemployment benefits expire at year’s end. And they calculate that the expiration of those measures will reduce U.S. growth by 0.5 to 1 percentage point in 2012.
Jitters over the economy and financial markets may reduce auto sales. That would be a blow to an industry that reported strong profits and healthy hiring earlier this year. J.D. Power and Associates has cut its 2011 sales forecast last week by 2 percent and its 2012 forecast by 3 percent.
On Tuesday, France’s president Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel held an emergency meeting to discuss the continent’s sluggish economy and debt crisis. Disappointment in the outcome of the meeting has contributed to the sell-off in European bank shares.
“All we got was more taxes and more bureaucracy and more austerity,” said Neil MacKinnon, an economist at VTB Capital in London.
The German economy, Europe’s biggest, slowed to a growth rate of 0.1 percent in the April-June quarter, after expanding at a 1.3 percent rate in the first quarter of this year. France’s growth fell to zero in the April-June period after a 0.9 percent quarterly rate in the first quarter.
Still, Neil Dutta, an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, said that most of the negative indicators, including the Philadelphia Fed index, reflect sentiment, rather than actual economic activity. Measures of the actual economy, like the number of people seeking unemployment benefits, haven’t declined nearly as much.
More people applied for unemployment benefits last week. But the four-week average of applications, a more reliable measure, dropped to the lowest level since late April. The report suggests that the economy is creating jobs ? though not nearly enough to lower the 9.1 percent unemployment rate.
“We are not ready to say this is the death knell for the U.S. economy,” Dutta said. Still, recession risks are rising, he added.

Praneet Dabral’s novel, Forever and a Little More is a romance which should not be misunderstood with the typical 21st-century connotation of a romance. The romance which is there in the book is serene and composed… there is a touch of comforting air to the novel which lets the readers enjoy the story with the emotional outburst at the moments. As a reader, let me say this, I will rate this romance better than the romance written by IITians because they, in fact, don’t know, what is a romance in the truest sense.
Forever and a Little More is a story which mainly features two characters – Jessica Jones and Tanish Kainthola. These two belong to a small town in the North-East of India – Snowdon. The name of the town is taken from the original name, Snowdon, Wales. The romance begins with a rainy evening which leads to several romantic moments and the hesitation in the hearts of both – the lover and the beloved. Tanish musters his strength at several occasions but finds himself unable to utter the words of truth… Jessica, on the other hand, just lets the moments pass…
The portrayal of Tanish is of a typical Indian youth who lives for his ambition and love is also important for him. Jessica, who is a foreign educated girl, is also a typical Indian girl whose dream is to live a life full of love and happiness. The couple could have made a perfect pair if only Tanish could say those magical words and ask for the love of Jessica… However, the fate had something else in the store for them… events take turns rapidly and Jessica suffers a tragedy. On a short notice, which reaches Tanish much after, She leaves Snowdon with her father. Tanish, who is about to leave for Mumbai, sheds the tears of remorse for his hesitation and loss… he settles in Mumbai and forgets about Jessica… marries Neelakshi and leads a life of his ambition and no love.
The deja-vu touches his heart only when he returns to his hometown for helping his friend Hreehan in the final settlement. He gets the past in front of him and becomes almost the same guy (even after three decades) who was there when Jessica went away… what happens next? This is something the readers will best find out after reading the novel by themselves. I will not spoil their reading pleasure by adding my comments on the conclusion.
To me, the novel is the best read for the young people as well as the aged ones. Other than romance, which is the soul of this novel, the call of nature and a touch of Nativity are other messages which the novel delivers. The silent life following your ambitious dreams and a life where you have your ‘owns’ around you are two different things and Praneet Dabral’s novel Forever and a Little More portrays that difference so well…
This will be a perfect weekend read, guys! You will surely love the diary which opens the gates to a different world. Go for it now!

Public health, the science of epidemics and large-scale prevention efforts, rests on data collection. Knowing what diseases are spreading, what strains, where, how, how quickly– these are the weapons on the arsenal of the protectors of the health of the people. The internet is particularly good for this. Since it connects millions of people, around the world, in real time, it’s a great way to find out what people are doing, how they’re feeling, and what’s happening to them, including illness. In fact, Google is harnessing its Web data analysis capabilities to measure and track flu trends.
If Google can do this with the data it has access to, it stands to reason that Twitter, the microblogging service on which more than half a billion users share their thoughts and activities on an almost minute-by-minute basis. And indeed, epidemiologists and other researchers are using a variety of techniques to sift through these posts and dig out information on people’s health. Looking at 5,000 public messages per minute, computer scientists at Johns Hopkins University have gotten a picture of patterns of flu outbreaks that match the maps generated by the government– but faster, in minutes rather than the two weeks required by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
The hardest part, experts say, is to separate discussions from reports, and metaphorical from actual illnesses and symptoms. For example, “fever” can mean high body temperature, but it can also mean extreme enthusiasm. Certain bodily responses have been compared to sneezing, but do not indicate sickness. And people will talk about fear of a disease, or precautions against a disease, or rumors or a disease, or having had a disease in the past, and these need to be distinguished from current instances for the data to be useful.
Already, some interesting patterns have emerged. A private company that has also been working on tracking disease through public internet postings found that the densely populated corridor between Hartford, Connecticut and Washington, D.C., is a hotbed of disease activity, and that disease mentions go up around events such as the Super Bowl that draw large crowds of tourists.

For the month of February, Sean and Derek look at three very different webcomics. They begin with Al Fukalek and Shawn Gustafson's The Specialists, an alternate history superhero narrative set in the mid-1940s, with an undefeated Germany flexing its might with its own team of superpowered individuals, Die Übermenschen. The United States fights back with The Specialists, a diverse collection of heroes that is, at times, more propaganda than powered.
Next, the guys look at what is arguably the highlight of this month's episode, Jordan Kotzebue's Hominids. This fantasy adventure is set in world populated by varied creatures, the central of which are a race of jungle dwellers. This is a tale with complex moral undertones, but whose message isn't overbearing or preachy. Plus, Kotzebue's art is outstanding.
After a brief check-in with Jim McClain and Paul Schultz -- their Poe and the Mysteriads was launched just last month -- Sean and Derek turn to the last webcomic of the month. Chris Ware's The Last Saturday appeared in The Guardian during the last half of 2014 and into September 2015, and the guys discuss the ways in which Ware employs the webcomic format. In fact, they both feel that this story never really utilizes the unique qualities of the platform. We could get the same effect in print. Still, this is an engaging narrative whose topic and style should be familiar to any Chris Ware fan.

Arizona gas prices continue rapid decline
Pump prices continue to fall across Arizona, with the statewide average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline dropping 6 cents in the past week.
This week, Arizona motorists are filling up for an average of $3.55 a gallon, which is still 4 cents higher than the national average. That national figure was down five cents in the past week to $3.51 a gallon.
AAA Arizona cites lower demand and signs of economic weakness as reasons for the continued drop.
“Pump prices in April continue to fall, not just because of weak demand data and signs of economic weakness but because oil prices have also moved sharply lower,” said Linda Gorman, director of communications and public affairs for AAA Arizona. “AAA projects prices will continue to fall as we move into May, barring unforeseen circumstances.”
Drivers in the city of Phoenix are seeing prices 7 cents lower than last week. The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded sits at $3.54. Glendale motorists saw prices drop 6 cents for an average this week of $3.56 per gallon.
A gallon of gas will cost Scottsdale drivers $3.68 on average, down 6 cents from last week.
As usual, Tucson and Flagstaff hold the low and high state fuel averages at $3.32 and $3.77 a gallon, respectively. Tucson’s price dropped 6 cents in the past week, while Flagstaff’s dropped 2 cents.

Publication date: May 2018Source:Epilepsy & Behavior, Volume 82
Author(s): Amanda Cristian Serafim de Barros, Ana Eliza Romano Furlan, Lucia Helena Neves Marques, Gerardo Maria de Araújo Filho
ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to investigate the psychological aspects and psychiatric disorders (PDs) in patients dually diagnosed with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy and mesial temporal sclerosis (TLE-MTS) with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) treated in a tertiary center in order to find any gender differences in psychiatric, clinical, and sociodemographic characteristics.MethodPsychiatric assessment was performed through the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Psychiatric Disorders — 5th edition (DSM-5). The Brazilian versions of the Medical Outcomes Study 36 (SF-36), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A), and Ways of Coping Checklist (WCC) were applied.ResultsOf the 47 patients enrolled (25 females; 53.2%), females were significantly more likely to have a history of previous psychiatric treatment (P=0.02), family history of epilepsy (P=0.01), and family history of PD (P=0.03). They also presented earlier onset of PNES (P=0.01) and higher PNES duration (P=0.02) compared with males. Major depressive disorder (MDD) was the most frequent PD (24; 51.0%). Females presented more psychiatric diagnoses (P<0.001), more diagnoses of MDD (P<0.001), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (P<0.001). Several differences regarding quality of life, levels of alexithymia, anxiety/depressive symptoms, and coping strategies were observed between groups.ConclusionsThere are significant gender differences in psychiatric, clinical, and sociodemographic aspects in a group of patients with TLE-MTS and PNES, as well as in quality of life, levels of alexithymia, anxiety/depressive symptoms, and coping strategies. These gender differences suggest that specific approaches might be adopted depending on the patient’s gender and, consequently, their distinct psychological/psychiatric profile.

You need to set the flash to slave and the same channel as the master. If the flash doesn't have this function it may be able to be fired optically. Set the master flash to low power and set the off camera flash to optical.
How to use the internal flash as a commander is in the manual from page 189. The manual is online.
There follow 10 pages about all different settings for the remote flash mode. I could not find how to use the internal flash as a commander and switch of the commander itself. On my Nikon, I can use the light as a commander and when the picture is made the build in flash does not fire.
You always see the internal flash fire, before the picture is made, because it has not only to tell each group what setting it should use, but it also has to trigger the external flash groups. If you want to use the flash as a commander while photographing persons, you can use a Infra Red filter (little one) in from of the internal flash, so the subjects won't close their eyes. Look for the Nikon SG-3IR filter. I think Canon must have filters like this.
No, the battery is the same as you use to make all the other pictures. To check if your flash really does not work, please put the camera in automatic (green camera symbol and hold your hand in front of the lens while pressing the shutter button (to make it look dark) The flash should pop up and should go off.
When you don't put the camera in auto, it expects you to tell if the flash should fire or not.
If your battery is bad, or almost empty, it can't charge the flash, so it won't fire either.
Since the flash is working on test, it means the connection to the camera via the hotshoe is not working. With the flash on and ready light showing that the flash has charged, take a small thin copper wire and short between the the metal spring on the side of the hotshoe (in the slot) and the round metal contact tip of the hot shoe. This should cause the flash to fire if the internal connections to the shoe are working.
If the shoe is working then it must be the camera that is not working. Many modern digital cameras cannot fire older flashes directly, because the voltages on these older flashes are too high. This could damage the camera or if the camera has protection against the high voltage, that will make it impossible to fire the flash. In that case you need an adapter. These are available cheaply. You should try borrowing a modern flash to test that your camera is still working and has not been damaged, if it is a modern electronic camera.
Have you tried to reset the camera to its factory defaults to see if it is a setting that is causing the flash not to fire? To reset the camera go to the menu left arrow to reset - highlight yes and press ok. This will set the camera back to factory settings. See if the flash fires now. If it does then, good. If not, then it is a repair issue with the flash assembly internally in the camera.
Check if something is preventing the flash to pop up 'fully'. Check for some dust or other particles trapped between the flash and the body. Does the screen say 'Subject is too dark'? If so, the flash has not popped up fully.

Country of origin: USA
Directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson
Screenplay by Kelly Marcell
Starring Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan, Eloise Mumford, Luke Grimes, and others.
Released date in cinemas 12 February 2015
“Fifty Shades of Grey” is a keenly expected American erotic romantic drama directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson. The film is based on a best-selling novel of the same name written by E. L. James. The trailer of the upcoming picture has already thrilled the audience worldwide and raised a great interest to this film work.
As a romantic drama it involves a love affair of two. Her name is Anastasia Steele, or just An. She is a lovely-looking young girl who pursues literature studies in the University. His name is Mr. Grey, or just Christian Grey. He is an immodestly wealthy handsome young man holding a huge business empire under the strict control of his. Both meet as An agrees to give a favour to her roommate Kate and goes to take an interview from the millionaire instead of Kate. With a strange inner feeling of mutual attraction An and Christian get to know each other closer. However, it’s rather he who shares his untold secrets with the young girl.
In the close relationship Anastasia discovers that the firm hand of a manager is also present when they are left face-to-face. Romantic scenes seem violent with elements of vitiation and are full of last. However, everything happens on mutual consent. Another question is whether it was possible to tell the story avoiding the moment. Probably not as through them the versatile character of Mr. Grey is represented.
The film is accompanied by popular singer’s songs. Among them “Haunted” and “Crazy in Love” by Beyoncé, “Beast or Burden” by the Rolling Stones and “I put a Spell on You” by Annie Lennox.
The deep meaning of the film in fact tells that we can never know what is hidden in the shadow unless come into it and find the secrets ourselves. Grey colour may seem dull. But it combines in itself a great combination of other different colours. Thus, never make superficial judgement. We should always go to the root of the problem to be able to understand and solve it.
Well, at last it is the choice of audience to consider “Fifty Shades of Gray” as a gift for the 2015 Valentine Day or a next challenge to the modern social moral, values and principles of life.

The sixth event in our Bitesize Webinar series.
GHA member Bioregional joined us with their expertise on how to asses the potential implications of spatial strategies for development, including spatial carbon modelling for proposed new allocations.
All local planning authorities have a legal duty to address the climate and ecological crisis and to contribute towards the UK’s legally binding net-zero target for 2050. In practice, this means taking bold steps to achieve zero emissions from new buildings and adopting policies that drive drastic and rapid emissions reductions from transport, energy and land-use.
As Local Plans set out the vision for future development in a borough, they are key to ensuring that any land-use changes, or new development that happens – from homes and offices to transport infrastructure – results in the least amount of greenhouse gas emissions possible, whilst enabling economic growth and addressing housing need.
Discover the spatial implications of developing Zero Carbon Local Plans: Modelling the carbon from proposed growth.
This is a follow on from the webinar: why we need Zero Carbon planning policies and what are the powers that Local Authorities have to create them.

Continue on to the next page to see our initial release date and specs round up. (It seems a shame to just delete it).
From 17th January 2013:
Needless to say, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date and specs rumours do not all come on the same day. Rather, they come about from little leaks here and there, and over time a clear picture of what to expect is formed. So you really should bookmark this page and check regularly for the latest Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date and specs news. See also Group test: what's the best smartphone?
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date
While there has been no official Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date announced yet, there are one or two very feasible rumours doing to rounds as to when it could be launched.
The first Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date rumour that caught our attention was reported by The Korean Times, who rather unimpressively says that the Note 3 will arrive sometime in 2013. Hardly the scoop of the century, but it’s a start…the Galaxy Note 3 is definitely coming this year…according to the Korean Times.
Thankfully the Wall Street Journal has gone on to narrow down the rumoured Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date to the first half of the year. The WSJ is claiming that it came to get this timeframe from Samsung sources. And for now, that’s about it so far folks, we did say it was a work in progress, but don’t worry this sort of thing snowballs once a couple have started. So you can expect a more convincing and specific Note 3 release date very soon.
To chuck our expert two penny’s into the pot, we’d have to say that a Galaxy Note 3 release date in the first half of the year would be a little surprising, considering that the Note 2 was only launched at the end of November 2012. The first half of the year is also when Samsung is expected to launch its flagship S4 device, which is fast approaching its first birthday (a long time in the smartphone world without an updated device on the horizon). So the idea of Samsung launching two major high-end smartphones in the same half of the year is a little hard for us to get our head around…stranger things have happened though. See also Samsung Galaxy S4 release date, specs and rumours.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 specs
The Samsung Galaxy Notes really are the original ‘phablets’. The Note 2 measured in at 5.95 x 3.17 x 0.37-inch, which is ridiculously big for a smartphone and if the rumours are to be believed the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will be even bigger. Exact dimensions haven’t surfaced yet, but what has been leaked so far is the potential screen size for the Note 3.
Another report published in the Korean Times is claiming that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will have a whopping 6.3-inch display. To put that into perspective, the already big screened Galaxy Note 2 has only a 5.55-inch screen, while other popular smartphones such as the Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5 have 4.8-inch and 4-inch displays respectively.
The Korean Times report didn’t stop there, it went on to predict that “Samsung plans to use the Octa core processor in the upcoming 6.3-inch Galaxy Note 3”. This is the same processor that was launched at CES 2013.
Samsung is widely expected to keep the storage options the same for the Galaxy Note 3, offering the device with either 16GB or 32GB of flash memory, while keeping the removable SD slot to allow up to 64GB of microSDXC storage too.
That, as they say is that…for now. This is a work in progress remember so keep this page bookmarked and come back regularly, as you can be sure that we will be adding all of the latest Samsung Galaxy Note release date and spes rumours to this article as soon as we get them.

Completed Is The First Phase Of The I-15 Widening Project, Which Eased Traffic Congestion At The Nevada State Line
LAS VEGAS, Nev. Visitors driving back to California from Las Vegas After Thanksgiving, drivers on Interstate 15 may benefit from the start of work to improve traffic flow at the California-Nevada state line.
The interstate has three lanes on the Nevada side, but the California side has historically only had two lanes. Usually, the bottleneck is what causes congestion, especially after a busy weekend.
Caltrans, however, told on Monday that they had completed work on a “one-mile transition lane” on the California side of the border heading south. Last December, the governor of California announced the project for the first time.
“Repaving, restriping, and using”one-mile transition lane” heading south on the California side of the state line said California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat.
The one-mile widening is the first phase of Caltrans’ project. Which complete almost a year ago.
“All construction area signs will be removed this week,” said Carolina Rojas. California Department of Transportation Public Information Officer.
The shoulder on the California side of the state line can now use as a part-time lane.
The expanded section, according to Rojas, will use during peak congestion, primarily on Sundays and Mondays. When traveling from Nevada to California.
Prior to this, leaders in Las Vegas and tourism-related stakeholders express relief that something done following many years of inaction.
“I am overjoyed that the governors have finally met to take a look. Start addressing something,” said Carolyn Goodman, Mayor of the City of Las Vegas.
“It allows us to begin a real conversation with California,” said Steve Hill, President, and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. “Having a pilot program, something that is a trial, allows us to interact with each other and ask, ‘Is this working?'” ‘Could other things work?'”
For the time being, only a one-mile stretch south of the state line is widened. Newsom promised to widen the interstate for five miles.
“The project will rehabilitate five miles of pavement,” Caltrans told on Monday. Rojas added that they do not have any additional information to share about the project’s ongoing efforts.
Last year, Newsom addressed concerns about a permanent third lane.
“We have to work with our partners, including CHP, on the longer-term strategy of making a third lane permanent or providing more relief,” Newsom said.
According to Rojas, clarity on the next phase of the project’s timeline is “expected in the coming months.”
According to state officials, more than 11,000,000 visitors use I-15 to enter and exit Las Vegas yearly. That is more than enough people to fill Allegiant Stadium 169 times.

An affiliate of Missouri-based Drury Southwest, Inc., has purchased The First Financial Centre at the northeast corner of Water Street and Wisconsin Avenue in downtown Milwaukee and is planning to convert the 14-story office building into a 200-room Drury Hotel.
The company purchased the 154,200-square-foot building, located at 700 N. Water St., for $4.6 million from Bachan Singh, of Brookfield. The property is currently 30 percent occupied and assessed by the city at $3.2 million.
Herb Wedemeier, senior vice president and secretary of Drury Southwest, said the long-term plan is to evaluate the market for three to five years and then convert the office building into a hotel. Once the remodeling begins, the project would take 18 months to two years, Wedemeier said.
“We’re excited to have an opportunity in Wisconsin,” Wedemeier said. “We’re seeing all of the excitement and opportunity happening in Milwaukee and it looks like a place we want to be.”
The First Financial Centre was built in 1928, which is one of the reasons the Drury group was drawn to the property, Wedemeier said.
In January, the 189-room Drury Plaza Hotel opened in the former Cleveland Board of Education building, a long-neglected building in downtown Cleveland. The $52 million renovation project of the 85-year-old building is one of many the Drury has done across the country, Wedemeier said.
“Our company does a fantastic job of taking older buildings that are worn out and converting them for adaptive reuse,” he said. “Our design and construction teams are excellent at bringing old buildings back to life and we can do that with this building in Milwaukee.”
The First Financial Centre has been a distressed asset for years, particularly since the Great Recession. Several tenants have left the building, including former first floor retail tenant, Associated Bank in 2014.
J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp. acquired the building in 2012 in a deed in lieu of foreclosure action.
It was then sold at auction for $3.3 million last year, almost half of its assessed value at the time of $6.1 million, to a local investment group. Siegel-Gallagher was hired to resell the property.
BizTimes first reported in December that a hotel was planned for the property. At the time, Plover investor Rolly Lokre, principle of Lokre Companies, had an option to purchase the property. He later sold the contract to Drury Southwest.
Lokre could not immediately be reached for comment.

Designer Martin Grant was thrilled when the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle stepped out in his beige trench coat, not once, but twice while visiting Australia.
"It was perfect. I thought it was very contemporary for her to do that," Grant told AAP on the phone from his studio in Paris.

"Royals don't often do it (repeat outfits) but it's great to see because they have so many events. Every day they have something to be dressed for, they cannot be just wearing things once."
Grant has been committed to 'slow fashion' before the buzzword even existed, launching his first ready-to-wear collection at the age of 16 while living in Melbourne.
He moved to London, then Paris about 25 years ago and relaunched his eponymous label at a fashion show in the Marais district, during which supermodel Naomi Campbell made a surprise appearance.
Grant describes mass-produced, fast-fashion as the "antithesis" to his finely cut, classic-lined signature dresses, coats and suiting, which are designed to be worn again and again.
"I grew up with pieces handed down from mothers, grandmothers, great-grandmothers," he said.
"I like that idea that things can last for more than a season, both in terms of style and ecologically."
Grant hit the headlines last year when Markle wore his trench and two yet-to-be-released dresses during the royal tour of the Pacific, prompting international department stores like Barneys and Moda Operandi to increase their orders.

But Markle isn't the first royal he's dressed - he counts the wife of former Emir of Qatar Sheikha Moza and Queen Rania of Jordan as clients, as well as American royalty the late 'Princess' Lee Radziwill.
His latest autumn-winter collection will be unveiled at Melbourne Fashion Week's opening runway show at the city's Town Hall on Friday, which celebrates 25 years of the fashion event.
While he won't be attending - it's buying season in Paris - his mum will be front row.
"She will be reporting back - even during the shows she sends me photos," he said.
