schools and invest in education in the Sahara Desert villages of Africa, which are some of the world's most illiterate places.
Our daughter was aware of this charity, because it was started by a friend of ours, Barry Hoffner, and we have spoken about the achievements and needs of the charity with her and her brother. When she decided she wanted to make a difference in the world and try to help a good cause, Caravan to Class naturally came to mind.
Our daughter chose to raise funds and awareness for Caravan to Class with a bake sale at her school. She gathered a team of students to work on a presentation and a plan on how to raise awareness and raise money. With the support of Laude San Pedro International School (very much appreciated!), the children had a wonderful experience not only baking (and tasting!) and raising 680 euro, but also felt proud of their achievements that came with hard work and determination. The children learned not only about making a difference in the world, but also learned about preparing a presentation, public speaking, cooking, and a bit of entrepreneurial skill.
Naturally, as parents, we are very proud of our daughter and continue to support her and her friends with their charitable efforts.
Fundraising continues for Caravan to Class with the Global Giving Challenge taking place from November 23 to December 31, 2011. Global Giving is the leading online charitable giving website. If Caravan to Class is able to raise $4,000 and bring in 50 new donors they will be able to post all of their future projects on their platform. In addition, Caravan to Class will be eligible to receive additional foundation grants. In short, this is a big deal that the kids are looking forward to supporting.
PLEASE JOIN US in bringing hope through education to the 70 children in the village of Mora, Mali. A $10 donation can make a big difference in the lives of these deserving children.
Please see the Caravan to Class page on the Global Giving site. Starting November 23rd, 2011 donors will be able to donate directly on this site in the area where it now says "Coming Soon".
Or read more about Caravan to Class on their website: www.caravantoclass.org.

The 1958 Babe Ruth Award, won by Elston Howard
Given for
Annual most valuable player of the MLB postseason
New York City chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America
Juan Soto, Stephen Strasburg
(Washington Nationals)
The Babe Ruth Award is given annually to the Major League Baseball (MLB) player with the best performance in the postseason. The award, created in honor of Babe Ruth, was first awarded in 1949 to the MVP of the World Series, one year after Ruth's death. The award was created by the New York City chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA). It continued to be awarded exclusively for performances in the World Series until 2007, when the New York chapter of the BBWAA changed the award to cover the entire postseason.[1][2] Though it is older than the World Series Most Valuable Player Award, which was not created until 1955 (as the "SPORT Magazine Award"), the Babe Ruth Award is considered less prestigious, because it is not sanctioned by MLB and is awarded several weeks after the World Series.[3][4]
MLB expanded its postseason to include the League Championship Series (LCS) in 1969, the League Division Series (LDS) in 1995, and the Wild Card round in 2012. The Wild Card round is a one-game playoff, the LDS follows a best-of-five playoff format, and the LCS and World Series follow a best-of-seven playoff format.[4][5] The most recent World Series champions are the Los Angeles Dodgers, who won the 2020 World Series, but Randy Arozarena of the Tampa Bay Rays was named winner of the Babe Ruth Award.[6]
Ruth was a noted slugger who batted .326 with 15 home runs and three wins in three games started as a pitcher during World Series play.[7] However, the Babe Ruth Award does not only go to sluggers or pitchers. Dick Green won the award for the 1974 World Series, in which he batted 0-for-13, but helped the Oakland Athletics win the series with his defense.[8][9]
Joe Page of the New York Yankees was the first winner of the Babe Ruth Award, and Jonathan Papelbon of the Boston Red Sox was the first winner since the award criteria changed to cover the entire postseason. In all, members of the Yankees have won the award sixteen times. Luis Tiant and Randy Arozarena are the only winners of the Babe Ruth Award to play for the World Series-losing team. Two players, Sandy Koufax and Jack Morris, have won the award twice.[10]

BIRMINGHAM – A federal grand jury today indicted a Birmingham woman as part of a conspiracy to fraudulently take money from funds established to pay claims from individuals and businesses harmed by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, announced U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance and FBI Special Agent in Charge Richard D. Schwein Jr.
The indictment of FELICIA YOUNGBLOOD, 25, brings to 11 the number of people in North Alabama to face federal charges for conspiring to participate in a scheme to defraud the oil spill claims funds. Youngblood is the second person indicted by a federal grand jury. The U.S. Attorney's Office has charged nine others this year and those nine have pleaded guilty to taking part in the conspiracy.
British Petroleum, which owned the Macondo oil well where the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded, established the Gulf Coast Claims Facility in June 2010 for the purpose of administering and settling claims resulting from the oil spill disaster. A subsidiary of BP established the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Trust Fund in August 2010 to pay certain types of claims and expenses from the oil spill, including claims settled through the GCCF.
The four-count indictment of Youngblood charges her with the conspiracy to submit false claims to the GCCF in the summer of 2011 that resulted in her receiving payments of $39,293 and $28,332. The indictment also charges Youngblood with mail fraud, prohibited monetary transactions and wire fraud.
Youngblood provided personal information to co-conspirators that was used to prepare and submit false claims of lost earnings to the GCCF. The false claims caused the GCCF to mail a $39,293 check to Youngblood and to wire a separate payment of $28,332 to Youngbloods' bank account. At the direction of co-conspirators, Youngblood used the $39,293 check on July 25, 2011, to obtain two cashier's checks of $17,146 each and $5,000 cash . She endorsed the cashier's checks and gave them to a co-conspirator. On Aug. 4, 2011, Youngblood, at the direction of a co-conspirator, withdrew $10,000 of the $28,332 that had been electronically deposited into her account and gave the money to the co-conspirator.
The FBI is investigating these cases. Assistant U.S. Attorney Henry Cornelius is prosecuting the cases.
The public is reminded than an indictment contains only charges. It will be the government's responsibility to prove the defendant's guilt at trial.

Brian Bickmore leaves Austereo after 24 years | radioinfo
Brian Bickmore leaves Austereo after 24 years
Friday 09 January, 2004
Outgoing Austereo director Brian Bickmore
Brian Bickmore has resigned from the Board of Austereo and from his position as Managing Director of Corporate Development & International Media. He will leave on January 15 after 24 years with the company.
"I'm looking for more balanced approach to life," Bickmore told radioinfo.
Bickmore was a founding executive of the original Austereo company and the longest serving director.
"The past twenty four years have been an incredible and rewarding adventure. But there is a time when, after such a long association, you desire new challenges," says Bickmore.
Austereo Chairman Peter Harvie called Bickmore's contribution "significant" and said his unique skills "played a major part in the development of the Group, both in Australia and overseas."
radioinfo: So, you're going after 24 years.
Bickmore: Yea. Long time isn't it!
radioinfo: How did you come to make your decision to leave after so long?
Bickmore: After 24 years there is a point where you know its time to do something else. I was 27 when we started the business. It has been an incredible journey, but I wanted to do something different and if I didn't make this decision now I never would. It's the right time.
radioinfo: What will you do next?
Bickmore: Take some time out and work it out from there.
radioinfo: Will your next thing be Radio again?
Bickmore: I'm not looking to repeat the last 24 years from a zero start. You can't repeat something like that. I'm looking for more balanced approach to life, a different way of doing things, not the same environment I have just been in.
radioinfo: With a $1.9 million payout I guess you can afford to do that.
Bickmore: [laughs] I guess so, but don't forget how much of that will go in tax.
radioinfo: Has the timing of this move had anything to do with the changes to the business lately?
Bickmore: I took time overseas and that's when I really focused on this decision. The recent changes have not had much effect. After so many years, you're always thinking 'will I keep going or not.' This time is perfect, if I hadn't made this decision now I probably never would do it.
radioinfo: What's the future for Austereo?
Bickmore: With me going they will cut their costs significantly! [laughs]
My reading of it is that they are taking a combination of approaches to handle the immediate future:
Reinvestment in Triple M and supporting Today.
Getting the cost base down (I'll help that).
Using a number of financial issues to move forward.
Changing breakfast in various stations to deliver a lower cost base next year, which will position Austereo well for new competition.
One strategy alone could not get there, but all working together can rebuild the success of the business in the new environment.
radioinfo: Do you have any regrets or negative memories of your 24 years in the company?
Bickmore: No negative memories at all.
radioinfo: What do you remember as the most exciting and significant decisions you made in those early days of starting Austereo?
Bickmore: There's no doubting that in the beginning it was about getting enough cash to get through the first year. Advertising was close to zero – that was exciting and worrying!
Another important decision we made was the conversion of 4BK to B105. It was probably the one single decision in those early days that solved a number of problems and created the future. 4BK was losing a couple of million, but after we converted to FM, within 12 months B105 was making $7-8 million. It underpinned our future after a tough period of growth.
Brian Bickmore's termination package of $1.9 million, paid in accordance with the terms of his contract of employment, included 12 months salary and the balance of his executive retirement benefit, together with the payout of his statutory annual leave and long service entitlements. Due to provisioning in prior years, the payment of the termination package will only have an immaterial impact on budget of approximately $400,000 and will not have any effect on the forecast current year results of the Company.

While it isn't the most fully featured fitness band, the Vivofit is certainly the most motivating one we've used.
WiredYear-long battery life means you never have to worry about charging. Comes in a variety of colors. Bluetooth and Ant+ compatible. Water resistant up to 50m.
TiredGarmin Connect app is subpar compared to other fitness apps. Display isn't backlit, making it hard to read in low light settings. Not the most comfortable fitness tracker to sleep in. Sometimes syncing takes multiple attempts.
You come to dread the blinking red bar on the Vivofit display. But that's precisely the point. It's there to highlight your inactivity – specifically, when you've been immobile for an hour. But as exasperating as this bar of shame can be, heeding its gentle prodding does have a measurable effect. Using the Vivofit, I got up from my chair more, took more walks, and, in general, felt better.
Getting you up off your tush and moving is, of course, the goal behind most wrist-worn step trackers. But the Vivofit's implementation is especially effective. When you've been sitting for long periods, the red bar appears. Shorter bars pop up next to it for each additional 15 minutes you've been stationary. The device doesn't vibrate, or beep, or otherwise interrupt your workflow. But should you glance down at your wrist, it's an instant reminder to get up and save yourself from the inevitable death our desk jobs are delivering us.
On its slightly curved LCD display, the Vivofit can show you how far you've walked, how many calories you've burned, the time, date, your heart rate, your steps, and the steps remaining towards your daily goal. The latter is another thing that sets Garmin's fitness tracker apart: After starting with a default number of "goal" steps for the day – mine was 7,500 – the Vivofit starts to learn how often you walk around each day. It adjusts your goal accordingly, pushing you to be more active, but not unreasonably so. For example, after getting within 100 steps of my goal by the end of the work day, I was surprised to look down at the end of my daily commute to see that the number of required steps had been upped. I still exceeded that, and the next day, my goal steps were upped some more. The fitness tracker isn't a pitiless whip cracker though. If you have a few slower days, the step goal drops back down.
The Garmin Vivofit, like other fitness wearables, connects and communicates with your phone over Bluetooth. You tap and hold the device's singular button for about two seconds to sync with the accompanying Garmin Connect app, but it can conveniently store up to three weeks of data onboard.
Garmin's Connect app itself is pretty lacking, especially when compared to other fitness apps out there. Where others offer colorful graphics and options for tracking multiple facets of your health (Fitbit lets you track what you eat each day and your water intake), Garmin's app is pretty spartan in its functionality. It sticks with just your walking stats, an activity log, and your sleep. There's also a section where you can accumulate badges for fitness accomplishments, and a social space where you can see and compare stats with your friends. Personally, I found no real need to visit the app unless I just wanted to see my step data charted out after the past day, week, month, or year, or look through my bike ride activities uploaded through Garmin Connect. None of this is a dealbreaker though – the Vivofit's main purpose is to motivate you to get fit; the actual history of those movements is less important.
If you wear your Vivofit at night, the app graphs your movements while sleeping – not the most exact indicator of sleep quality, but an interesting stat, nonetheless.
In addition to syncing over Bluetooth, the Vivofit also connects with devices over Ant+, meaning it can display heart rate data from a heart rate monitor. During a gym workout, this was pretty handy, although my wrist did get sweatier underneath the band's slightly rubbery, flexible plastic band. The moisture's not a problem, though: the Vivofit is waterproof up to 50 meters, which means sweat, rain, showers, and swimming are all okay. It also ships with two different sized bands, so it's sure to fit a wide variety of wrist sizes.
The Vivofit, while perhaps not the most fully featured wearable, is the most motivating one I've tried thus far. The fact that it doesn't need to be charged daily or weekly is a huge plus over competitors – and if the battery does die before its promised year-long life is up, it's just a pair of user replaceable coin cells. For those looking to make their workouts more targeted, or get more accurate calorie burning stats, its Ant+ heart rate monitor compatibility is a big bonus. Other than displaying the date and time, it doesn't try to venture into smartwatch territory, and that's fine. On top of that, it's priced competitively with other trackers on the market. If I were getting a wearable for a family member or friend, this is the one I'd buy.

About ACDP
Become a:
Investigate corruption at Crime Intelligence and State Security Agency now
Press Article:
FOLLOW-UP QUESTION BY STEVE SWART MP
"President, the ACDP shares concerns and is extremely concerned about allegations of malfeasance, corruption and gross abuse of State resources at both Crime Intelligence and the State Security Agency. While we welcome the review panel that you are instituting, clearly there is nothing to prevent investigation and prosecution on the basis of those allegations at this stage.
Would you agree that those investigations should continue and that steps should be taken to investigate those authorities such as IPID and other police officials that might be intimidated both from Crime Intelligence and the State Security Agency from doing their jobs in eradicating these 'rotten apples' from these institutions?
REPLY BY SOUTH AFRICAN PRESIDENT, MR CYRIL RAMAPHOSA
"I am able to confirm that the review panel that is going to be set up is going to get involved in – as I have already said – reviewing the mandate particularly of our intelligence service. But that does not prevent any investigations already underway from proceeding. If there are any investigations that have commenced, we will say they should go ahead because, if there has been wrong-doing, we would say that that wrong-doing needs to be addressed and those who are found to have participated in wrong-doing, should, indeed be dealt with. So, there is no prevention whatsoever to investigations that have already commenced from proceeding.
The review panel will be reviewing the mandate, the effectiveness, the systems and the structures of our intelligence agency and once it has come out with a report, we will then be able to see the extent to which that state agency needs to be recalibrated, to be reformed, and if it requires restructuring, how we will be able to do that so that we reposition it to serve the interests of the people of South Africa in the most effective way in terms of our Constitution.
Thank you very much."
National Assembly Questions to the Deputy President in response to question by Ms D Carter (Cope): "Whether, in the interests of transparency, accountability, responsibility, the rule of law and the best interests of the country, he will establish a commission of inquiry into the alleged serious dysfunction, malfeasance, corruption and gross abuse of resources of the State, including financial resources, for wrongful ends within the Crime Intelligence Division of the SA Police Service and the State Security Agency; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?"

Infectious diseases can pose a serious threat to the health of our beloved pets. Unfortunately, there are many different viruses and diseases present in the world, most of which can be transmitted with ease. Since our animals tend to have little regard for sticking their noses and tongues into virtually anything they come across, even those illnesses which need direct contact to be transmitted can be spread very quickly.
Protecting our animals from these contagious diseases is extremely important, not only for the health of our pet but also for the greater good. In the past, entire neighborhoods of animals have been wiped out by deadly transmittable sicknesses, so by not vaccinating your pet you are putting potentially thousands of pet's lives at risk. Equally, a number of the infectious diseases that animals can suffer from are zoonotic, meaning that they are capable of being transferred from animals to humans. In the case of a deadly virus such as rabies, failure to protect our pets using vaccinations can even put human lives in danger.
Rabies is a serious viral disease that affects the nervous system and is almost always fatal. It is also zoonotic meaning that it can be transmitted from infected animals to humans. More than 50,000 people each year die from rabies, but as the rabies vaccine is mandatory in the U.S. the number of reported annual fatalities from the disease here is usually less than 5.
Since animals who have rabies secrete large amounts of the virus within their saliva, most transmissions take place when the infected animal bites another creature or person. However, it can be spread through a scratch or if an infected animal's saliva comes into contact with an open wound or the mucous membranes of another.
Although rabies is the only vaccination required by law, each state has its own local rules stating which pet vaccines are mandatory and it is essential that you find out and adhere to those for your state. Failure to do so could see you given a hefty fine, and refusal to vaccinate your pet could potentially see you suffer further consequences with your local authority including jail time. It is also possible that your pet may be confiscated and/or euthanized.
There are also laws pertaining to vaccinations for animals arriving into the United States from other countries. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention insists that all dogs arriving into the U.S. must be healthy and have a certificate proving that they have a current vaccination against rabies. Those dogs which have never been vaccinated against rabies must be vaccinated at least 30 days prior to their entry to the United States.
While cats are not required to have proof of rabies vaccination for importation into the U.S. since most states require vaccination of cats for rabies, it is strongly advised that your feline is still sufficiently immunized ahead of her arrival. It is also important to note that your cat will be assessed at the port of entry, and if the veterinarian believes that she may be unwell or carrying an infectious disease, she may be denied entry into the country.
If you have any questions about the laws surrounding mandatory vaccines, speak to your veterinarian or call Soundside Animal Hospital to schedule an appointment today.

We Dare Not Look Away
Humans lack good mirrors. It is very hard for us to see ourselves honestly. Our preference is to look away. Pandemics serve as a mirror of our society. Frank Snowden in his book, Epidemics and Society: From the Black Death to the Present, observes that "Epidemics are a category of disease that seems to hold up the mirror to human beings as to who we really are." The honest reflection is not always pleasant. Pandemics have been a common occurrence in human history. Our historical amnesia, social media frenzy, and Western society myopia tends to distort our current crisis out of historic proportion. All of a sudden the one line in our Western history textbooks about the 14th century (1346-1356) bubonic plague takes on a new meaning. It killed half the population of Europe (50 million). And there have been many other epidemics from which the world has survived in spite of our lack of historical memory. But this is perhaps the first global pandemic to have occurred under the conditions of a globally connected world of airline travel and social media. This accelerates the contagion, fear, conspiracies, and anxiety. Digitally we walk the crowded hospital wards of Northern Italy. We cheer the arrival of the USNS Comfort in New York City harbor. The mirroring effect of this pandemic is real. There are numerous images of masked and gowned health care workers providing heroic front-line medical care to those seriously ill with COVID-19. The masks hide the bone-crushing fatigue and the gnawing anxiety that most live with in hospital ICU's across the country. It may be an invisible enemy distanced by an array of ventilator tubes and blinking monitors, but it is an ordinary person behind the mask and lying in the hospital bed. In this most human of social contracts, doctors and nurses fight against grim odds to save each patient. There are images of students at the kitchen tables working on their lessons in a national experiment in homeschooling. What was once viewed as an educational extreme is now a public necessity. Ironically, now homeschoolers are in the position to tell all Americans how it is done successfully. There are teddy bears in the windows. Taking a page from Michael Rosen's 1989 children's book We're Going on a Bear Hunt, members of a number of communities across the globe are placing teddy bears and other stuffed animals in their homes' windows to create a scavenger hunt-esque activity for kids who are stuck at home. While taking walks or drives around the neighborhood with their parents, kids in participating communities can have some fun by keeping an eye out for any number of stuffed animals that have been put on display at other houses. Social distancing has spawned a host of creative expressions of making human connection. But there are darker images as well. Perhaps none so troubling as the picture of the homeless being socially distanced in a parking lot in Las Vegas. The casinos are deserted and thousands of hotel rooms are empty. But when the city needed space for a temporary homeless shelter, officials chose an outdoor parking lot where they marked off squares in order to reinforce social distancing. Pope Francis lamented about this image, "We see it in the way people are selected according to their utility or productivity: the throwaway culture in practice." One has to admit that there is something grotesque about this image. What it says about our national priorities is deeply troubling.
There is talk now about "returning to normal." Perhaps this is a mistake. This is to miss the opportunity that the pandemic affords. The normal was not that great for a lot of people. The pandemic has exposed the health care disparities among the poor and people of color. The mortality rate of people of color who have contracted COVID-19 is disproportionately higher. This is symptomatic of a long recognized and rarely addressed structural health care crisis among American minorities. Efforts will be made in the coming months to restart America's economy. We will then immediately shift to the November political presidential campaign where gloating and recriminations will abound. China and the W.H.O. are ready candidates for partisan scapegoating. And within months our fragmented news cycle and shortened attention span will move on to the next "News Alert!" And so the value of this pandemic serving as a reflective mirror of our national soul will be lost. The coronavirus pandemic of 2020 is a culturally defining event. It will end soon. What will be our new normal? Simply going back to the way things were would be a big mistake. Rarely do we get such a prolonged and thorough look in the mirror at our national soul. Now is not the time to look away.

First Guided GBU-32 Delivery From F-35B
6 December 2013: US government test pilot Vince Caterina was at the controls of F-35B BF-18 for the first guided GBU-32 delivery from an F-35B. Caterina used the Electro-Optical Targeting System, or EOTS, to guide a GBU-32 Joint Direct Attack Munition to a specified ground target after releasing the weapon from the internal weapon bay of the F-35 at Mach 0.9 and at 25,000 foot altitude. The GBU-32 is a 1,000-pound Mk-83 general-purpose bomb mated with an INS/GPS guidance kit and guidance fins for precision strike. The test mission was conducted from Edwards AFB, California.
New Test Pilot At Pax
16 December 2013: Royal Air Force Sdn. Ldr. Andy Edgell took off in an F-35 for the first time to become the newest test pilot at the F-35 Integrated Test for at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland. His first flight was Flight 50 for F-35C CF-5.
Longest Flight Duration
17 December 2013: Lockheed Martin test pilot Paul Hattendorf was at the controls of F-35A AF-7 for a 5.2-hour mission systems test flight from Edwards AFB, California. The flight, which also marked 500 hours for AF-7, was the longest test mission to date for the F-35 program. Coincidentally, Lockheed Martin test pilot David Nelson completed a 5.2-hour mission on the same day in F-35A AF-3.
First F-35B Formation Takeoffs And Landings
8 January 2014: BAE Systems test pilot Peter Wilson flying F-35B BF-1 and Lockheed Martin test pilot Dan Levin flying F-35B BF-5 completed the first conventional mode formation takeoff and landing in the F-35B.
Initial Departure Testing For F-35C
9 January 2014: Lockheed Martin test pilot Dan Canin was at the controls of F-35C CF-5 for the initial departure resistance test flights with the weapon bay door open for the F-35C. The flight occurred at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland.

Ventricular septal defects
Last updated: 20 Jul 2022
Ventricular septal defects are defects in the interventricular septum that allows shunting of blood between the left and right ventricles.
Usually congenital, but rarely acquired after myocardial infarction or trauma.
May be associated with other congenital defects such as tetralogy of Fallot.
Significant left-to-right shunting results in pulmonary hypertension, which, if left untreated, can progress to shunt reversal with cyanosis and Eisenmenger's syndrome.
Small shunts may close spontaneously in childhood and can be managed by observation.
Large shunts require surgical closure.
Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are congenital or acquired defects in the inter-ventricular septum that allow shunting of blood between the left and right ventricles. Eisenmenger's syndrome is shunt reversal (blood flowing from the right to the left ventricle) leading to the distribution of de-oxygenated blood to the systemic arterial circulation.
systolic murmur left parasternal region
recurrent pulmonary infections
loud pulmonary component of the second heart sound
finger clubbing
recent myocardial infarction (usually within 2-5 days)
recent trauma
family history of congenital heart disease
Down's syndrome (trisomy 21)
maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy
cardiac catheterisation
congenital: small
congenital: medium or large

Career Corner: Money for Moving
By Angela Copeland on July 7, 2020
It's becoming more and more common. While we're stuck at home, corporate employees are starting to find alternative working locations. For some, it's been their…


The identity cards bill published yesterday will give the government the legal powers to set up the scheme and charge the fees it needs to recover the costs of enrolment, issuing and maintaining the cards and providing verification services.
ID cards are to be introduced on a staged basis. First it will become compulsory for foreign nationals to register under the scheme, then it will be voluntary for UK nationals to register when they renew their passports.
About 80% of the adult population have a passport and new applicants from next year will be given a biometric passport. From 2008 the 3-4 million who renew their passport each year will get a combined ID card/passport valid for 10 years.
It is expected that the scheme will become compulsory in 2013 when about 80% of those who have passports will have registered under the scheme. It is expected that only about 13% of the UK resident population will not have a passport by then and they will be issued with a standalone ID card. Foreign nationals, including those from inside the European Union, will also have to register.
Parliament will then vote before it becomes compulsory to have an ID card but not to carry it at all times. It may then become compulsory to have the card to access various public services.
The government says that advances in technology mean it is possible to produce a far more secure scheme than in the past. Ministers say Britain must act now because the United States is specifying that visitors must hold a passport with an electronically scanned facial image included to remain within the visa waiver programme.
The EU has also decided that member states should issue passports with two biometric identifiers, such as electronic fingerprints and facial scans. Critics say this applies only to Schengen countries and the UK is specifically exempted. Only a minority of Britons visit the US every year.
The ID card scheme is more than about just issuing a piece of plastic. The key element is the central database holding basic personal information on every citizen over 16, including name, date of birth and address. This data is linked to biometric information such as facial image, iris scan and electronic fingerprint to ensure security.
The government has already decided to set up 70 new passport offices to issue everyone with biometric passports. Everyone will have to apply in person. These will become ID enrolment centres with additional mobile centres for sparsely populated areas.
A new enrolment agency is to be set up and will be responsible for entering data for every UK resident over 16 who registers on the national database. Everybody will be issued with a unique national identity registration number.
Ministers have decided to set up a database from scratch because the existing national insurance and driving licence registers have too many fraudulent and incorrect entries to be of use. Forged ID cards will be useless if they are not backed by an entry on the register.
Foreign nationals, including those from other parts of the EU, who stay in Britain more than three months will be the first to register.
From 2007 foreigners from outside Europe will be issued with biometric visas at British consulates before they travel to the UK and it will be compulsory for them to register their details on the database.
The cost of this is not included in the current scheme and the power to do it is not included in the ID cards bill but under separate immigration rule changes. EU nationals will be issued with biometric residence permits at a date to be decided.
Asylum seekers are already issued with biometric application registration cards (ARCs).
A new system of readers and scanners will be needed in order to access the data held on the card's computer chip. The Home Office says it is not possible to establish the cost of these beyond the fact that they may be somewhere between £250 and £750 a machine. Officials hope that the network of 705,000 commercial chip and pin tills being installed could also become ID card readers when they are replaced and upgraded.
Telephone and online checks will also be possible for a wide variety of purposes against the information held on the database. The bill also gives powers to public sector organisations, such as the police, to access information on the database without the consent of the individual but new amendments to the bill limit direct access for private organisations.
A range of new criminal offences will be created to safeguard the security of the database. They include a £2,500 civil penalty for failing to register and £1,000 fines for failing to renew your card or notify a change of address or other details.
The overall costs of the scheme are difficult to establish as they are either like the start-up costs of the new enrolment offices hidden in the future passports budget, or subject to commercial confidentiality because estimates at this stage would be too helpful to potential bidders.
The original official estimate for a standalone identity card scheme was between £1.1bn and £3.1bn over 10 years. The official estimate of the annual running costs for a combined passport/ID card scheme published yesterday is £584m. This would represent a total cost over 10 years of £5.84bn but the government expects to raise a significant amount of money by charging employers and organisations for making checks against the register.
Ministers said yesterday that the £93 for an ID card mentioned in the documents accompanying the bill was the unit cost not the fee, which has yet to be set.
The government says ID cards will help to cut identity theft which it is estimated to cost Britain £1.3bn a year. It will also provide a far more effective and secure way of proving identity to access public services, including those online, since it will contain an electronic signature.
This legislation will not make it compulsory to produce an ID card to access particular public services. That decision is to be taken later. It is estimated that ID cards could help curb £20-£50m a year of benefit fraud.
It could also help to tackle illegal migration and illegal working, so-called health tourism and could be an important tool in counter-terrorism work where people often shield themselves behind false identities.

NFL forecast: Five underdogs for Week 8
Off a bye, the Cleveland Browns are 11-point 'dogs at New England today. Freddie Kitchens against Bill Belichick might be the biggest coaching mismatch in NFL history.
In the bizarre world that is the NFL, I typically prefer to take the points. Around 80 percent of my plays are underdogs. That's a lower percentage than VSiN senior reporter/dog-or-pass player Dave Tuley, who probably plays 'dogs at about a 95-percent rate.
Tuley also can throw down a 50-ounce prime rib for dinner, while I prefer a couple of simple McRib sandwiches for breakfast.
The 'dogs are hot this season — 60-44-2 against the spread (57.7 percent). Road teams have been even better at 65-38-2 ATS (63.1).
At some point, we can expect some regression as favorites make a comeback. That actually started to happen in Week 7, when favorites went 11-3 straight up and 9-5 ATS.
I'm playing five underdogs — actually six — this week. My five best bets in the Westgate SuperContest and in this column sometimes differ, depending on the lines and the strength of my opinions.
My entry in the SuperContest (under the alias Clint Westwood) is 21-13-1. This week, I used the Giants getting 6.5, Chargers 4, Panthers 5.5, Chiefs 4 and Dolphins 14. It's the first time this season I have played Miami. I'm 0-3 when playing the Giants, so this is a stubborn attempt to get one back in the contest. I waffled on the Giants and Raiders as the fifth pick.
I also considered the Browns as 11-point 'dogs at New England, but the coaching matchup is a mental hurdle I cannot get over. Freddie Kitchens against Bill Belichick might be the biggest coaching mismatch in NFL history — it's basically Larry the Cable Guy versus this era's Vince Lombardi, so let's pass. Five best bets for Week 8:
* Chargers (plus-3.5) over BEARS: Matt Nagy felt the need to say he's "not an idiot" while being grilled by the media this week. That's never a good sign from a coach. Chicago's rushing attack with Tarik Cohen and David Montgomery ranks 28th in the league (70 ypg). Nagy's offense and quarterback Mitchell Trubisky's poor execution of if have served as foreplay for the punter, and the Bears' defense is spending too much time on the field. Of course, the Chargers have their problems, too. The offensive line is down two starters — center Mike Pouncey and guard Forrest Lamp — and while the limited return of left tackle Russell Okung will help, one lineman cannot fix everything. Running back Melvin Gordon is not fixing anything, either. When two clueless coaches butt heads, take the points with a traveling Philip Rivers, who is 12-5-1 ATS in his past 18 on the regular-season road. The Chargers are 22-4 ATS away versus teams with a better winning percentage, a trend that qualifies against the .500 Bears.
* Raiders (plus-6.5) over TEXANS: At the end of a grueling road trip, with five away games in six weeks, the Raiders could be out of gas. Still, quarterback Derek Carr is playing well and coach Jon Gruden is an outstanding play-caller. Oakland's injury report is positive as rookie running back Josh Jacobs is expected to play wide receiver Tyrell Williams seems set to return. Houston is 5-9 ATS in its past 14 at home, while for whatever reason, the Texans have been one of the league's best road teams the past two years. This could turn into a shootout between Carr and Deshaun Watson, and this is shaky endorsement of the Raiders getting points.
* Panthers (plus-5) over 49ERS: Kyle Allen is 4-0 SU/ATS with seven touchdown passes and no interceptions as Carolina's starter this season. Line up his recent numbers next to Cam Newton's and there is no comparison. The turnaround is startling considering the Panthers had lost eight straight with Newton as their starter. Newton was sacked 21 times and threw 10 interceptions during the losing streak. It's time to find out if Allen is as real as he appears. San Francisco ranks No. 1 in pass defense (133.5 ypg) and No. 2 in scoring defense (10.7 ppg). Fortunately for Allen, he can lean on Christian McCaffrey, who's tied for the league lead in touchdowns (nine) and ranks second in all-purpose yards (923). McCaffrey has 35 receptions to make him an every-down threat in the passing attack, too. Kyle Shanahan is an offensive whiz, but the 49ers coach is not working wonders with Jimmy Garoppolo, who has seven touchdown passes and six interceptions. The Panthers are in a good spot off a bye, and every riverboat gambler would like coach Ron Rivera's track record as a 'dog — 17-8 ATS in his past 25.
* CHIEFS (plus-5.5) over Packers: The NFL's lifeless lineup of prime-time games figured to get a huge boost with an Aaron Rodgers-Patrick Mahomes showdown. Well, replace the league's reigning MVP with Matt Moore and what do we get? An 8½-point adjustment in the line. Kansas City would have been laying 3 to 3½ against a Packers team finally showing positive signs on offense. Moore has a 15-15 career record as a starter but is better than chopped liver against the spread (20-10). Moore had 10 days to prep and has the same weapons who made plays for Mahomes. Moore might be a bust, but let's roll the dice on the "Fallen Star theory" that a team rallies with a big effort in the first game after its top player goes down.
* Dolphins (plus-14) over STEELERS: I made this line 10½, and a veteran Las Vegas oddsmaker said his number was 7½. It makes sense the number would be inflated on an all-time terrible team. Miami is unplayable with Josh Rosen at quarterback, but Ryan Fitzpatrick has a better shot to make magic happen. In this case, magic would be covering two TDs against a sub-.500 favorite.

Slavic mythology: the god Dažbog
Dabog (Dažbog) was one of the main gods of Slavic mythology, most likely a solar deity and possibly a culture hero.
It's one of the various authentic Slavic gods, mentioned in several medieval writings and one of the few Slavic gods for whom evidence of worship can be found in all Slavic nations.
Dažbog is mentioned in the "First Slavic Chronicle"Or"Chronicle of Nestor"(The stories of past years in Russian), the history of the first East Slavic state, the Kiev Rus, between 850 and 1110, written in Old East Slavic in Kiev in the year 1113.
In it he appears as one of the seven gods whose statues the Prince Vladimir the Great in front of his palace in Kiev in 980, when he assumed the throne.
Dažbog's name is also mentioned in the "Codex of Hipacio", the most important source of historical data for the southern part of ancient Kiev Rus; and in the "Song of Igor's Hosts", An anonymous work of East Slavic literature dealing with the unsuccessful attack by Prince Igor Sviatoslavich against the Polovtsians or Cumans of the Lower Don region in 1185.

Steve Jobs Taught This Man How To Win Arguments With Really Stubborn People
Jun 5, 2014, 10:00 AM
Walt Disney StudiosEd Catmull
Have you got any stubborn people in your life? Well, here's a brilliant life lesson shared by Pixar cofounder and Walt Disney President Ed Catmull.
He spent 26 years working with the notoriously stubborn Steve Jobs, one of Pixar's other cofounders. Jobs once told him that his method of working things out when people disagreed with him was to "just explain it to them until they understand."
So Catmull discovered a way to work with that without letting a conversation ever devolve into a heated argument, he said during a recent Stanford Entrepreneurship Corner event, first spotted by Upstart Business Journal.
Catmull was promoting his new book, "Creativity Inc.," which is loaded with anecdotes about Jobs, the famous late Apple CEO.
This is how Catmull dealt with Jobs:
"In all the 26 years with Steve, Steve and I never had one of these loud verbal arguments and it's not my nature to do that. … but we did disagree fairly frequently about things. … I would say something to him and he would immediately shoot it down because he could think faster than I could. … I would then wait a week … I'd call him up and I give my counter argument to what he had said and he'd immediately shoot it down. So I had to wait another week, and sometimes this went on for months. But in the end one of three things happened. About a third of the time he said, 'Oh, I get it, you're right.' And that was the end of it. And it was another third of the time in which [I'd] say, 'Actually I think he is right.' The other third of the time, where we didn't reach consensus, he just let me do it my way, never said anything more about it."
So that's an interesting strategy: patience; an open mind; a willingness to be wrong; and a willingness to plow ahead when, after a fair effort, agreement didn't happen.

"I Need You" is a song written by Dennis Matkosky and Ty Lacy. Performed by American country pop artist LeAnn Rimes, it was released on July 25, 2000, as a single from Jesus: Music from and Inspired by the Epic Mini-Series. The song spent 25 weeks on the US Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 11, and it was also successful outside the US, reaching the top 20 in Canada, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. A music video was released in 2000.

Background and release
"I Need You" was released as a single from Jesus: Music from & Inspired by the Epic Mini-Series on March 20, 2000, to adult contemporary and hot adult contemporary radio, and it was released to retail on July 25, 2000. The song was re-issued in 2002 by her label, Curb Records, in the album, I Need You, along with the Graham Stack Radio Edit, and included on her 2003 Greatest Hits album. Also in 2003, the song was included on CMT Most Wanted Volume 1. The song was included on her Best of album in 2004 and the Dave Aude Radio Edit was included on the remix edition. A new remix by Digital Dog was featured on Rimes' 2014 greatest hits album, Dance Like You Don't Give a.... Greatest Hits Remixes. On February 3, 2015, it was included on her All-Time Greatest Hits album.

Rimes donated her artist fees and royalties from this song to fund and build a therapeutic rehabilitation wing — the "LeAnn Rimes Adventure Gym" — at the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee (Remz).

Although the single was released on July 25, 2000, it was only available as the commercial pop version. The country mix version of this song was not available until September 12, 2000, when Curb featured it on the multi-artist compilation album, "Wings of a Dove".

Composition

"I Need You" is a Christian pop song of 3 minutes and 48 seconds. The song is written by Dennis Matkosky and Ty Lacy and is in the key of G major with Rimes' vocals spanning two octaves, from E3 to D5.

Critical reception
Entertainment Weekly music critic, David Browne, gave it a "C Plus" and states, "This schlock-deluxe ballad finds Rimes in full-diva mode, swooning and growling like a Celine Dion impersonator on Your Big Break." According to Carson James, Curb VP of Promotion, "I Need You" was used as the "primary vehicle for pre-promotion" of the "Jesus" mini-series (Country Corner, 2000) that aired on CBS in May 2000 and was the lead track featured on the album. A review by Billboard stated, "Not since her pop breakthrough "How Do I Live" almost three years ago has [LeAnn] Rimes brought forth a song so naturally beautiful and well-suited to her rich, enveloping vocal style."

Chart performance
In the United States, the song spent 25 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 11. The song also reached number 8 on the Billboard Country Songs chart, as well as number 2 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. It received a Gold sales certification from the Recording Industry Association of America for shipping over 500,000 copies domestically. Internationally, "I Need You" peaked within the top 20 in Canada, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

Music video
The music video for the song features Rimes singing solo in a minimally furnished, abandoned house. The first 2/3's of the video features Rimes in a tan and white shirt with tan leather pants while in the darkness lit by a spotlight that travels across the room in the background while different colored leaves are billowing about. There are close-up shots of her face as she's singing and various poses of her swaying, moving and dancing to the song. After the second verse the spotlight stops in her midsection and the scenes are flooded with light. Then her outfit changes to white but she and the music video continue as before. The video was directed by Joe Rey. On July 22, 2014, as a promotion for her Dance Like You Don't Give a.... Greatest Hits Remixes (2014) album, Rimes released the Digital Dog remix of the music video.

Damning Report of OPD
Despite the city's claims of reform, the Frazier Report details the Oakland police department's culture of impunity and failure to change.
By Darwin BondGraham @Darwinbondgraha and Ali Winston @awinston
At a press conference held on the top floor of the Oakland Police Department's headquarters last Thursday, members of the media were given copies of the long-anticipated Frazier Report, an independent study commissioned by the city to investigate the organizational roots of OPD's misconduct during the Occupy Oakland protests of October 25, 2011. Clipped to the front of the report was a city press release claiming that most of the recommended reforms by the consulting firm the Frazier Group LLC have already been completed or are underway. A table summarizing the report's 68 recommendations with check marks noting specific areas of progress was also attached. An oversize pie chart claiming that 74 percent of the report's recommendations have been "completed" or are "underway" stood on an easel near the podium. The message city leaders intended to convey was clear.
However, there's no way to independently verify whether specific recommendations in the report have in fact been completed or are in progress. "That was a city chart," said the report's lead author, Thomas Frazier, in response to an email about the city's press packet. "I had not seen it before [Thursday]. We have no way of knowing how accurate it is."
And, moreover, the Frazier Report gives a detailed and somewhat devastating list of criticisms focusing on OPD's system for investigating officer misconduct and crime. Not only does the department not learn from past mistakes, the reports states, but Oakland police officers even acknowledge that the lack of consequences for violating policy or engaging in criminal misconduct has fostered a culture of impunity. Thus, the report raises serious questions whether the recommended reforms can so easily be completed.
The Frazier Group's findings identify systematic deficiencies that largely reflect OPD's failure since 2004 to implement the court-ordered reforms demanded by US District Judge Thelton Henderson. The report gives a detailed accounting of organizational dysfunction, inadequate planning and investigations, and a lack of accountability in relation to last fall's Occupy Oakland protests. These shortcomings also manifest themselves in the department's quotidian work of investigating and solving crimes, evidenced by a low clearance rate (only 32 of the 110 murders that took place in Oakland in 2011 — or 29 percent — were solved and prosecuted) and deep mistrust of police among large segments of the community.
OPD's shortcomings are indicative, the report states, that the department does not learn from past mistakes in spite of expensive lawsuits and settlements. The use of less-than-lethal munitions on demonstrators last October, tactics that Frazier characterized as "dangerous and outmoded," is in direct violation of a crowd-control policy implemented in 2004 after the city paid $2 million to protesters wounded by projectiles fired on a crowd of antiwar demonstrators at the Port of Oakland.
"Everything they learned in 2003 has been unlearned," said attorney Jim Chanin, who initiated the class-action lawsuit that underpins federal monitoring of OPD. "The problems repeat themselves because there's no accountability, no reason to do any differently, because no one gets disciplined for doing the same actions over and over."
Buried deep within the Frazier Report is a direct acknowledgment by Oakland officers that the lack of consequences for violating policy, or even engaging in criminal misconduct, has fostered a culture of impunity, despite nine years of court-mandated reforms intended to eradicate such behavior. Unidentified OPD officers told Frazier Group personnel that this situation was due to the lack of corrective action by those in charge: "Members of the department observe tacit approval of misconduct by supervisors and commanders, so the behavior continues."
The lack of consequences for officer misconduct manifests itself in OPD's lax disciplinary record outside of recent Occupy protests — particularly with officer-involved shootings. Lack of accountability and unwillingness to pursue improper conduct by officers are identified repeatedly in the Frazier Group's examination of OPD deployment of Tango Teams on October 25. These officers are typically assigned to gang enforcement or SWAT units, and have been involved in a disproportionate number of shooting incidents and uses of force in non-protest incidents. They have carried on similarly during crowd-control operations.
Police video shows that Tango officers first threw tear gas into the crowd on 14th Street and Broadway, which OPD and Frazier claim were in response to objects being hurled at them from the crowd. Regardless of the cause, the Frazier Report found that Tango officers violated OPD policy by not inventorying or keeping records of their usage of less-than-lethal and chemical munitions.
OPD has also not submitted each individual use of force by Tango officers for scrutiny by a Use of Force Review Board, despite Police Chief Howard Jordan's assertions last fall that the incident would be investigated as a "Level 1 Use of Force" (a potentially lethal incident). As of April, a review board had not scrutinized any of the incidents involving less-than-lethal ammunition. The Frazier Report also criticized OPD for an "unacceptable number" of inadequate after-action use-of-force reports from October 25.
The incidents pending review also include the injuries sustained by Marine veteran Scott Olsen, who was severely injured after being struck in the head by a drag-stabilized beanbag round. In regards to Olsen's injury, OPD officers testified to Frazier personnel that they did not notice him fall to the ground injured, despite Officer Robert Roche's decision to lob a gas grenade at Olsen and a group of people coming to his aid.
The Frazier Report directly challenges the testimony of Tango officers in regards to the Olsen incident: "After review of hours of video footage involving the injured party (who appears to be approximately 15-25 feet in front of the police skirmish line when he was struck and fell to the ground), the fact that no law enforcement officer, supervisor, or commander observed the person falling down or prostrate in the street during the confrontation was unsettling and not believable."
