New Hampshire Quick to Divorce Candidates, Not Marry Them
22 Dec, 2011 by	Michael Barone
Three weeks out from the New Hampshire primary, and voters in the Granite State don't seem to have settled firmly on one of the Republican presidential candidates.
Or so one might conclude after interviewing voters in the Lakes region north of Concord in Laconia, which like the state as a whole voted for John McCain over Mitt Romney by a 37 percent to 32 percent in 2008, or nearby Meredith, where McCain did slightly better and Romney slightly worse.
"Not interested" was the most common response, reflecting perhaps not indifference but an unwillingness to talk in the freezing air.
A few declared forthrightly for Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, who have been leading in polls here. One man was for Romney "till he made that $10,000 bet."
Former state Senate President and House Speaker Stewart Lamprey, who has voted in every Republican presidential primary since candidates' names began appearing on the ballot in 1952, has forthrightly endorsed Jon Huntsman and gets applause at a Huntsman event in Meredith.
But former legislator and Deputy Secretary of State Bob Ambrose, at the same event, has "not yet" decided, though "I kind of liked what I saw."
That seemed to be the case with most of the 100 people who on a bright sunny afternoon came out to see Huntsman at Inter-Lakes High School.
"I think I have decided on someone and then my mind gets changed," says one man. It seems to be a pattern. Republicans may believe in traditional marriage, but they have been pretty quick to divorce a candidate.
One thing that becomes clear after interviewing New Hampshire voters is that feelings about the choices in the primary are a lot weaker and more wispy than feelings about the general election.
Partisan Democrats are ready with a refrain about how Barack Obama's problems are all "Bush's fault" and with predictions that he'll solve them if — they sound a bit defensive and worried here — he gets a second term.
Partisan Republicans are quick to express disgust with Obama and his policies, some in terms not suitable for a family newspaper, and to say that any of the Republicans (except maybe Ron Paul) would be better.
What you don't hear much of is the detailed debate going on in conservative websites and blogs. You know, the stuff about who is conservative and who is moderate, who is backed by the Republican establishment and who is the outsider.
Maybe that's because every candidate has some claim to being conservative and almost all have taken stands on some matters that can be characterized as moderate or even liberal.
And who exactly is this Republican establishment some radio talk show hosts complain about? The Ivy League apparat headquartered within a few blocks of Madison Avenue in New York that engineered the nominations of Wendell Willkie, Thomas Dewey and Dwight Eisenhower from 1940 to 1952 has been defunct for four decades.
The one relative constant in New Hampshire is support for Mitt Romney, who has led in every poll here since April 2010. But that may just be because this is a Northern state.
When you compare national polls with polls in states, you find that Romney opponents do best in the South, especially South Carolina, which is polled frequently because of its Jan. 21 primary. It follows that Romney tends to have support above the national average in the North, and few states are as far north as New Hampshire.
The task before Republican primary voters and caucus-goers is to choose among a half a dozen or so candidates about whom they know relatively little. Those who are interested in these things are getting more information this cycle than previously from cable news debates, YouTube videos and the blogosphere.
Those who are less engaged are getting less information than in previous cycles because of cutbacks in coverage by old media like the New Hampshire Union Leader and Manchester's Channel 9. For them, the Republican candidates, or the alternatives to Romney, seem pretty much fungible. When one self-destructs, they pick another.
Is this a good way to choose who might be the next president? No, it sounds worse (to paraphrase Winston Churchill on democracy) except for all those other ways that have been tried from time to time.
But you go to vote with the nominating process you have. Merry Christmas.

The other day I finished the first rough draft of my second book, titled The Scapegoatist. I'm still too close to it to make a judgment, so I don't know what to make of it exactly other than I believe it's a good story and that it probably needs a good amount of work. With longer pieces like this I'm finding it takes some time to find the voice of the book- that point where you stop trying too hard and everything clicks and the tone becomes locked in and you start to really understand the character or characters and who they are and why they do the things they do. By that point, though, you've already written half the thing. So now the job becomes to go back and delete all the jokes that really aren't funny and just overall make everything match up. That's what's next for me. Once I do that I should be able to share.
All of this owes to the fact, which I'm not only discovering for myself but have also read, that every time you write a book you have to relearn how to do it. Not to say that you forget exactly, but that each one is different and has different challenges and problems and ultimately solutions to those challenges and problems. On the one hand this can be a little frustrating, to feel like an amateur every time out (which at this point I still am), but on the other it's also what makes the whole thing interesting, and I'm always a believer that if it's boring to write, it's boring to read.
Probably the biggest lesson I learned this time around was to let go. Instead of obsessively editing as I went along, I stayed in writing mode and didn't allow myself to scroll back and start picking things apart. I also didn't sit with my fingers hovering over the keyboard for thirty minutes waiting for the perfect word, as I often have, but rather just drove forward and kept moving, kept moving. This does explain why the book needs so much work now, but on the other hand it was a far, far more productive way of working. My first book, A Chemical Fire, was around 51,000 words and took me a few years to complete, while this one passed the 80,000 mark and took just one. I believe the next will continue the trend, though no matter what I'll forever be a fan of brevity; of quality versus quantity, of saying what needs to be said in the shortest form it remains effective.
A funny thing happened the day after I finished the first draft of this book. A good amount of it was written on my breaks at work- I get an hour for lunch, which most days I take alone in a basement break room. While this SOUNDS lonely, I actually love it. I generally finish eating in about ten minutes and then spend the rest of the time writing down what I spent the first half of the day thinking about, unless by poor timing someone else happens to come down for their break at the same time and decides to spend it, as most of them do, bitching about the job. This has given me quality time to work and sends me home most days with at least a head-start. When I get home I type up what I have knowing that if nothing else I've written at least this much today, and most times once I'm done transcribing I go further and continue to write.
I've been at my job for around a year and a half and have been writing this book for about a year of that, so (barring interruptions) writing The Scapegoatist is what I know of lunch. The day after I finished the first draft I was walking down the stairs and I had a realization: while there's still work to be done on it, I need to give myself time to gain some distance, to edit from an impartial view. Also I need to give Natalia time to read it (she's always first), and even when I do start editing it's all done on a computer screen, so will all be done at home. So my realization as I went down into the basement was this- I'm free. While I love writing, novels can be tedious work. Not every moment can be ecstatic and enervating, sometimes you just have to head-down-shoulders-forward trudge forth and hack away at the work of it. The only way this is possible is to do it whether you feel like it or not. Period. If you wait for inspiration you're lucky to write one book in your lifetime. And very often, inspiration comes because you're already in motion.
"I'm free," I thought. I can spend this hour any way I want. I can sleep on the couch, read a magazine, maybe try to punch the old television set into getting reception, watch something. It doesn't have to be writing. I have another book lined up that I want to write next, but I need to edit this one first so I shouldn't start it. I'm free.
I finished my lunch, then tried to decide what to do with my next fifty minutes. After I'd been sitting there for a while, silently staring off, I took out a pen and a notebook and I started writing. I'm thinking about writing a book that doesn't end. What that would mean. Maybe periodic volumes of an ever-changing thing. Something that would occasionally rear its head. It's a thought.

Forums - Sales Discussion - Vita has outlasted the 3ds
greenmedic88
greenmedic88 on 15 December 2012
Interesting, but considering that the 3DS was all but dead in the water before Nintendo dropped the price and released two of its biggest titles on the platform to date, that doesn't mean much.
Unlike the 3DS, it's looking like the PSV will not be seeing a drastic 180 turnaround any time soon. And in my own opinion, I'm not even sure the platform will see a similar turnaround with a price drop unless it is accompanied by at least two legitimate hardware selling killer apps.
Even as a PSP/PSV owner, I'm not even sure which, if any of the IPs that have shown up on PSP would even qualify.
Any such title showing up exclusively on the PSV would literally be a gift if it were produced by a third party, and I am at a loss when it comes to PS3 IPs that could show up on the PSV that would sell serious hardware.

interesting spin to look the bad vita hard and software sales look better. but it is no more than trying to be a spin doctor.

All I insinuated is that the Vita managed to keep up sales to past a point where Nintendo deemed it appropriate. I didn't insinuate that any console is better than another. Yours is a strawman argument..you are arguing a point I have not made, but insist on telling me what my own point is based on conjecture and hidden messages.
1I really don't get the point of the title then, nor the point of OP. And if you look at Kowen's graphs, it's pretty clear that the 3DS beat the Vita in sales even pre pricedrop, unless you're using the fake aligned launch trends.
2To each his own I guess.
3It's either this thread is pointless, or my conjecture is correct. Either way, I don't think you have a realistic understanding of what success constitutes.
1. The point of the OP is exactly as it was written. To highlight a little silver lining on the Vita situation. "It isn't as dire as it seems". I mean, that was a line taken directly from the OP. Yes, yes, I understand from all the upstanding people in this thread that Vita took longer, and I know the graphs upon graphs upon graphs, but again, for the fourth time, try to look at it this way: The Vita has managed to hold on without a price drop to a point further than Nintendo allowed 3ds to go.
Obviously Nintendo could've gone for far longer without a price drop, while simultaneously beating the vita in sales. It's lowest week was 40k, and that was the week right before an announced price drop. Vita has seen many weeks at mid 20k. I know the facts already.
2. Why the need for little quips like this?
3. Or you're setting up another little catch-22 for yourself, like you did in the last thread when someone told you to your face, that you misinterpreted the OP. Here's the truth: Your conjecture is wrong, AND the thread is not pointless.
If the Vita can reach and surpass the 3ds in sales based on a period of time judged by a price drop, then there is hope for it yet. Why? Because it demonstrates that while not having the same amount of demand, there actually is still a good amount of demand for it.
3.2 million 3ds' were sold at 250$ with no competition and 3.5 million Vitas were sold at 250+memory card, and some sold at 300+memory card when its main competitor dropped to 179$ upon release day. Don't you think there is some strength in that?

I see many here keep saying its "to spin" bad number's to Make it better in the light of how it is. and that is not the case at all.
I think many in here are quite ready to write off the PSVita when the fact is the PSVita is pretty much a mimic of the PS3 this generation and how it started out in the fact that many of the same people back in 2007 and 2008 were saying the very same thing's about the PS3. many were ready to write the system off!
Only this time the PSVita is not like the PS3 or the PSPGo, for one the forward trend's in Gaming is not so much the living room console, EA games released their publishing dynamic for the next cycle and its not very pretty.
Electronic Arts is in a particularly precarious position, because it must grow its mobile profits without cannibalizing sales of $60 packaged games.
Its response is a strategy EA calls "fewer, bigger, better."
It's slashing the number of new console and PC games it releases each year from 67 in 2009 to just 22 this year. Next year EA will release just 14 packaged game titles, but it's doubling down on digital, with more than 30 mobile and social games, building on its library of over 500 mobile titles.
down to 22
now down to 14
for game console and PC
but it increased to with more than 30 mobile and social games !
both Sony's jack tretton and EA's Peter Moore both had interviews about the future of game distribution and Publishing.
and it's not just them.
What i think many are overlooking is the fact that Multiple core Mobile devices are still high end , but many game's are still designed for single core even in the Mobile space, dual core, quad core etc. it still boils down to the single core being the largest number of smartphones and Tablets in the % of devices in the Mobile market. The Nintendo 3DS is Arm 11, while the PSVita is Arm Cortex A9. The design for both devices were designed not for the same time on the market, Nintendo makes handhelds for turn over of their cycle for far shorter a support cycle than Sony does until the WiiU because there is i doubt any reason to think Nintendo really expected the Wii support cycle to be geared toward extended life on the market, like Sony or Microsoft does.
Just pointing out the way Sony and Nintendo both design their machines Sony is more of designed for longer support cycles, the 3DS has 6 MB of Dedicated Video ram, the PSVita has 128 MB of dedicated video ram, while the main smartphones and Tablets are at most 64 MB.
Take for instance the PSVita has the exact same GPU as the iPad 3 with extra enhancement's, as we have seen even though there will be an iPad 4 and a iPad 5 the core development for software still will be for atleast a few year's the iPad 3 due to install number's. Quad core chips are out now in smartphones , but single core 1 GHz are the base core processor for most games and that will still be that way even into 2014!

Proud psOne/2/3/p owner. I survived Aplcalyps3 and all I got was this lousy Signature.
I agree joerc, I thnk vita will do the exact same thing ps3 did, minus the billions in losses of course lol.
It will take a while, but it will hit 60m with plenty of people kicking and screaming all the way to grandmas.

The main problem here is you used the wrong word. The Vita hasn't outlasted anything the 3DS has done. The Vita has survived. It's been comparable. It's lasted. There's a bunch of words to choose from, but you chose outlasted. By using that word, it skews your actual talking points because you've said the Vita has done better than the 3DS in at least one department, which it hasn't. A different title would have lowered the hostility in here I think.
Doing something 4 months later than something else isn't outlasting, it's holding on.
Veggie said:
Yeah I totally see your point, but on the other hand, had I written survived, I'd feel as if I was being too subservient.
It just doesn't seem like that much of a trigger word. Sure, had some of the OP been written differently, or anti-Nintendo remarks been made subtly, then yes, I would agree....totally asking for it. From where I'm standing though, I don't see why I shouldn't address my fellow Vita fans by pulling out the white flags first. Don't you think it's a little cruel to expect that? Or am I looking at this the wrong way?
I feel like even when Vita hits 10m, or even if it passes a majority-agreed upon prediction of sales for FY2012, people will still retaliate because the OP dared to say that naysayers were wrong.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
kowenicki
kowenicki on 15 December 2012
I think the difference between myself and dissenters, is that I'm of a realistic understanding of what success constitutes. For example, I'm pretty sure some of the bigger posters on here have called psp a failure, and while vita hasn't exactly done psp numbers, there's plenty of time to improve.
Again, I will ask, would there be a thread if Sony had cut the price. Let's pretend Sony did have enough money to cut it safely, let's pretend these excuse variables didn't exist. Would there have been a thread if Vita had dropped in price previously to selling what 3ds did. Yes. Yes there would.
Even later in its life, even if it becomes more successful than the psp, I imagine there will be all kinds of excuses to continue trolling it.
No, you're not, because ITT you mention that the Vita outlasted the 3DS, insinuating that the Vita surpassed the 3DS in a certain benchmark which, once properly analyzed, actually emphasises Sony's inability to reach the expectations they had originally set. Why? It could be due to not having the ability to change strategies, it could be because they hope to reach it at a later date.
All in all this thread goes to show how misled a person can truly be when the value-system is skewed.
No. it didn't.
Land your point isn't based on conjecture and hidden messages, it's based on a lie.
I'm not really here!

Can you show me how you worked this out please? It looks like a manipulated load of bollocks to be honest.
The 3ds has never been behind the vita curve when you align launches. Never.

July 28, 2011 – Nintendo of America today announced plans to drop the suggested retail price of its portable Nintendo 3DS™ system to $169.99 in the United States, as new games based on some of the world's most beloved video game franchises head to the system. The new price, down from the suggested launch price of $249.99 and effective Aug. 12, makes an outstanding value even better and sets up a strong holiday season for the system.
so when was the Nintendo 3DS released?
in the US market the Nintendo 3DS released March 27, 2011
So The 3DS released in Japan from FEB 2011 to AUG 12 THE Price was $250.00 was it not? and from
Aug afterward's it was $169.99
So right now Sony's PSVita released in japan December 17, 2011, and in the US February 22, 2012
How is that "manipulated load of bollocks "?
Sony has not dropped the official price of the PSVita yet!, While Nintendo did infact drop the Price and announced the price drop 4 months after Nintendo released the 3DS in the United States. upto that time did Nintendo sell 3.5 million 3DS's @ $250.00?

Knocked up at the movies
by Roger Ebert | October 22, 2011 |
Above all it was her personality. Pauline Kael had an overwhelming presence in a conversation. There will no doubt be many discussions of Kael's work and influence and with the publication of Brian Kellow's new biography Pauline Kael: A Life in the Dark, and the Library of America's forthcoming collection of her work.
She was the most powerful, loved and hated film critic of her time, but her work cannot be discussed objectively by simply reading it. She challenges you on every page, she's always in your face, and she functioned as the arbiter of any social group she joined. She was quite a dame.

I'm currently starting on an animation project. In the project I'll have more than 40000 divs and animate them iteratively. If any of divs are in passive state (i.e. it's not animating at least for 2 seconds), I won't display them to increase animation performance.
The question is: which css property is the most suitable for this?
And how can I measure rendering performance like fps, gpu usage?
The answer found here will answer your first question (most likely display:none as the space is collapsed completely).
To your second question, tools such as this will probably be useful for you. However 40,000 divs sounds like way too many and you will probably have better performance using canvas or SVG (for example, using the KineticJS library as this handles animations - transformation, rotation, scale, etc.) for you.
And when we say it consumes click, that means it also consumes other pointer events like ondblclick,onmousedown,onmousemove etc.
In essence "visibility: hidden" behaves like a combination of "opacity: 0" and "pointer-events: none".
display:none because the divs are taken out of the flow then, thus their position does not have to be calculated.
That being said, 40000 divs sounds crazy. Did you consider the alternatives like HTML5 canvas or SVG?
display:none will hide the whole element and remove that from layout space whereas visibility:hidden hides an element but take up the same space as before.
Opacity can be used if you want to create transparency or fade effect.
display:none : occupies no space, no elements here.
opacity:0 : occupies space, you can click on element behind it.
visibility:hidden : occupies space and you can not click element behind it.
CSS opacity filter faster than opacity property?

"Ever since coming first to St. John in 2012, I have been wanting to do that. The island extends only 8 miles from West to East and about 5 from North to South (about 19square miles / 50 square km). I figured the circumnavigation would be about 20-30 miles. The distance is not really a problem, but it's usually very windy and there are strong currents and big waves, especially around the tips (Mary's Point in the North and Ram's head in the South, where the Carribean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean).
The prevailing wind direction is from North East to South West. I had done a few upwind paddles to Maho / Mary Point and a some downwinders from Reef Bay and Fish Bay back into Cruz Bay, but I had never been further East than Mary Point in the North and Reef Bay in the South and thus had no idea which conditions to expect. I had consulted a few locals and they told me that the channel after Mary point can be rough and that the area around Ram's head is a fierce "washing machine". Plus there are tiger sharks….
The average wind speed around St. John is about 20knots, often times 35 and more, making it impossible to even paddle the 5 miles to Hawk's nest. So kept waiting for a really calm day. The forecast for the weekend of July 13th looked good, wind was only 7-12 knots, the lowest I have ever seen in my time over here, but it would be hot, 32°C / 90°F.
I packed my Garmin GPS, 1 gallon of Gatorade, 10 cereal and energy bars, 5 energy gels, 2 phones, a hammock with mosquito net, a change of clothes and 2 peanut butter jelly sandwiches and made my way down to Cruz Bay with my 14' Falcon. I took the smaller Kia Loa Methane Paddle, which I had used for the 220km Eleven City Tour and the 62km Ultramarathon in Podersdorf.
The plan was leave from Cruz Bay, North-East into the upwind, continue through the upwind along the Northern coast of the island and then take a walking shortcut at Haulover Bay, to avoid paddling around East End tip. My boyfriend Steve, who is a boat captain had advised me to then go straight to Ledduck Island (avoiding the Ram's head area) and from there it should be almost a straight open ocean downwinder back into Cruz Bay.
This route was the best in terms of wind and current, but in terms of stops and sustenance it was not ideal. On the first leg there are plenty of beaches, Honeymoon, Cinnamon, Maho &Trunk Bay where you can stop and get water or food, but after Mary Point there is nothing. Also, doing the hard open ocean paddle around Ledduck and Ram's head washing machine with big waves and currents of 2 oceans meeting towards the end when being tired did not seem ideal.
I left Cruz bay at about 10.00AM, yes, that was a bit late, but the packing / getting the stuff down to Cruz Bay took a while and I am not a morning person at all. The wind was calm and I took the outside line straight towards Mary Point, without stopping at any of the beaches to get more water. It was a really calm day and up to there the paddle was not too bad, a constant upwind of about 10 knots, but no mean gusts. The heat however was burning on my head and wearing me out. My first stop was Whisling Cay, a tiny island off Mary Point. I sat in the shade for a few minutes and had 2 energy bars and refilled my Camelback from the half gallon of Gatorade that I was carrying. Unfortunately, when taking the board out of the water, one of the handles from the glued on deck rigging kit came off, so from that point on my gear kept moving around on the board, which was annoying.
I continued my journey passing Mary point in the North into the open channel between Little Thatch Island / Tortola and St. John, the upwind was getting stronger and I also had to paddle against the current. That part was a bit of a drag, so after Mary's Point I could not resist going downstream into Mary Creek, until I was in less then 1 foot shallow water with rocky reef bottom. Ok, this was not the smartest detour. Just when I was paddling upstream out of the Creek again, I saw my boyfriend passing by on a rescue mission to get a boat that had broken down. That was good luck as it got me 2 additional water bottles when I paddled over to meet him.
After that came another 6 mile upstream paddle in an area with no civilization at all. I was looking for what I was told "really flat area of land" which would allow me cross by foot to the South coast, Haulover Bay. I kept paddling and paddling until I finally saw what looked like the flat area of the island. (after having taken a few detours into the bays that had no flat areas….). The "footpath" from there was more like a jungle trek/hike through bushes and mud, climbing over fallen trees with my 14' Falcon and heavy bag. I cursed myself for not having brought any shoes but thank god did not have any animal encounters, except for hundreds of colorful butterflies.
Finally, I saw the turquoise water at the end of the path and arrived at a beautiful tiny beach. There was an elderly couple sitting on the beach. They kindly gave me their remaining ice cubes from the coolbox. By then it was already about 4:30PM and I had the choice to either paddle into the civilization of Coral Bay to the right or head straight into the ocean to cross over to Ledduck Island.
Paddling into Coral Bay would have been a safe place for the night, but a big detour, so I started to paddle towards Ledduck. The wind was picking up and now blowing from the side. I wasn't sure I would make it back before darkness and I did not feel like spending the night alone on (uninhabited) Ledduck Island as it did not look like it had trees suitable to hang a hammock. So I paddled towards the South-East Coast of St. John, which has 3 beaches with a few houses, Johnson Bay, Frits Bay and John's Folly bay. I decided to paddle into the last one. By that time I had paddled 26km in upwind and sidewind, against the current in 5:25 hours. The next 18km would be mostly downwind except for a tough paddle around Ram's Head with strange whirls from waves and currents from 2 different sides. I decided it would not be smart to embark on that paddle so late in the day, the sun would be setting soon and there would not be a chance to stop or spend the night for at least 10km. So I put up my Hammock right in front of the ocean in John's Folly Bay. There was house right up the hill and the kind owners invited my to take a shower in one of the guest rooms and even brought me a bowl of pasta out to my hammock. What a delicious treat after all the energy bars!
So I spent a windy night in my hammock. Unfortunately, I had changed into my only long sleeve to avoid sunburn and had fallen in right before pulling into the bay, so that was wet now. I covered up in a tiny, moist, sandy beach blanked instead.
I watched a beautiful sunrise and continued my journey at 7.00 AM. The wind had picked up after night and getting around Ram's head was no fun at all. I fell in a few times and was swearing a lot. Maybe I should have taken my boyfriend's advice and paddled to Ledduck, but there I would not have had cell phone reception to let him know I would not be home for the night….
After that rough part finally came the nice part. I had an awesome paddle with wind and current , riding nice waves right into Reef Bay. got a few dings and reef cuts when getting out of the shallow water, sent a text that I would be home for breakfast and was off again into a bit of upwind to get out of Reef Bay, followed by another awesome 10km downwinder back into Cruz Bay, where I arrived at 9:30 AM, after 44km and 7:56 hours of paddling and not spending a single dollar on the way.

Cash-less Nigeria is a policy established in the year 2012 by the Central Bank of Nigeria to curb excesses in the handling of cash in the Nigerian federation. It prescribed a cash handling charges on daily withdrawal above five hundred thousand Naira (N500,000.00) for individuals and three million Naira for corporate bodies (N3, 000,000.00). The policy was enforced not to eliminate the use of cash, but to reduce the volume of cash in circulation.

The operation of the policy
A pilot run of the policy started on 1 January 2012 in Lagos State. The service charges were with held until 30 March of the same year to allow for seamless migration from manual to electronic devices. The second stage of the pilot run started in Rivers, Anambra, Abia, Kano State, Ogun and the Federal Capital Territory on 1 July 2013, while the program nationwide started a year later on 31 July 2014.

The key notes of the policy
Withdrawal above N150,000.00 on all third party cheques can only receive value through a clearing house and not across the counter.
Under this policy a bank is no longer permitted to pick up cash services from merchants, while only the licensed cash in transit companies are permitted.
3% cumulative charges are administered on daily cumulative withdrawals in excess of N500,000.00 for individuals while 5% cumulative charges are administered on daily cumulative withdrawals in excess of N3,000.000.00
The charges on these transactions are borne by the account holder.

Penguins Blank Blue Jackets – Murray Gets Shutout
By The Canadian Press March 8th, 2019
PITTSBURGH — Matt Murray stopped 25 shots for his 10th career shutout and the Pittsburgh Penguins opened a pivotal home-and-home with the Columbus Blue Jackets by rolling to a 3-0 victory on Thursday night.
Phil Kessel scored for the first time in 17 games for the Penguins. Nick Bjugstad collected his ninth of the season for Pittsburgh. Sidney Crosby took a high stick from Columbus' Boone Jenner in the third period but returned to add an empty-net goal and extend his goal streak to six consecutive games as the Penguins created a little bit of breathing room between themselves and the Blue Jackets in the race for a playoff spot in the crowded Eastern Conference.
The Penguins have won eight straight over Columbus and moved into third place in the Metropolitan Division by clamping down on the Blue Jackets.
Joonas Korpisalo received a surprise start and finished with 28 saves for Columbus, but his teammates couldn't get anything by Murray.

The Blue Jackets went all-in at last week's trade deadline, but the decision to bring in Matt Duchene, Ryan Dzingel and Adam McQuaid hasn't exactly provided an immediate spark. Columbus is 2-4 since the trio's arrival, with two losses coming at the hands of the Penguins.
Coach John Tortorella tried to downplay the home-and-home with Pittsburgh, saying his team just needed to go and have fun. He made a curious decision to start Korpisalo — winless since Jan. 15 — over No. 1 goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, claiming the two-time Vezina Trophy winner needed to get some rest with the stretch looming.
The change in net did little to change the Blue Jackets' fortunes against the Penguins. Defenceman Scott Harrington was called for tripping barely two minutes in and Pittsburgh pounced. Evgeni Malkin collected a Patric Hornqvist shot behind the Blue Jackets' net and fed Kessel at the far post. Kessel banked it in off a sprawled Korpisalo for his first goal in more than a month.
Tortorella decided to challenge the goal, claiming goaltender's interference, but the call stood and Tortorella burned his only timeout before most of his players had even broken a sweat.
Though Korpisalo quickly settled in, he couldn't quite match Murray, whose streaky season is one of the reasons Pittsburgh's playoff positioning is so tenuous. Making his sixth straight start, he appears to be back on the upswing. He made several key stops to preserve the lead, and late in the second period received a boost when Bjugstad finished off a sequence of extended pressure by collecting a pass from Jared McCann then pivoting into space in the slot before beating Korpisalo between the legs with 1:13 to go in the second for fourth goal since being brought over in a trade with Florida on Feb. 1.

The chippy play between the rivals separated by three hours geographically but by considerably more in terms of stature perked up at times. Pittsburgh's Garrett Wilson and Columbus captain Nick Foligno received fighting majors in the second period following a brawl that left Wilson's forehead bloody. Jenner received a double-minor for high sticking Crosby early in the third.
Though the Penguins couldn't score on the extended power play, it did allow them to milk the clock, and when Crosby finished Columbus off with his 31st of the season, the Penguins had dealt the Blue Jackets' playoff hopes a serious blow.
NOTES: Penguins D Kris Letang missed his fifth straight game with an upper-body injury. … Pittsburgh is 9-1 while wearing its yellow third jerseys. … The Blue Jackets were 0 for 3 on the power play. The Penguins were 1 for 5. Malkin's assist on Kessel's goal pushed his career point total to 997.
Blue Jackets: Columbus has issues at Nationwide Arena. The Blue Jackets are just 17-16-2 at home this season.
Penguins: Pittsburgh hasn't lost on the road to Columbus in the regular season since Feb. 17, 2017 (4-0).

Incubators could help medtech innovators hatch new products…and get them to market has been removed from your bookmarks.
While engineers and scientists continue to develop new technologies, they can run into barriers when building a case for their innovations, getting them approved, and then getting them reimbursed so that patients can benefit. Compounding this issue is commonly payment and delivery system reform, which is changing the way many providers select and use medical technologies. These challenges might be behind a decline in venture capital investment in the medtech sector. Consider this: Medtech's share of venture capital has fallen from 13 percent in 1992 to 4 percent in 2014. Moreover, the number of medtech startups created each year is declining.1 If funding dries up, future innovations could be at risk.
Last week, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the agency will no longer review drug formularies, network adequacy, and licensure requirements of qualified health plans (QHPs) sold in states that use Healthcare.gov. Instead, beginning with the 2018 plan year, the agency expects state insurance regulators to review these things. CMS cites Executive Order 13765, which directs federal agencies to provide greater flexibility to states to implement health care programs, as the reason for the change.
Today, seven states have opted to use Healthcare.gov to perform plan oversight functions, including monitoring, providing technical assistance, and evaluating rates and benefits for plans sold on their exchange. However, CMS makes the final determination on whether plans meets QHP criteria.
Licensure and standing: State regulators already maintain license records, perform audits on health plan performance and conduct, and keep record of other documentation required for plans to offer products in the state. The new guidance states that CMS will no longer review health plans' licenses, but rather confirm with state regulators that their documentation is current.
Network adequacy: CMS will rely on states to review network adequacy. In states that do not conduct reviews, CMS will defer to US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)-recognized accrediting entities (e.g. the National Committee for Quality Assurance) to determine network adequacy.
Service areas: CMS will rely on states to determine whether QHPs meet state service area requirements. The federal government will review service areas of plans in states that do not review service areas.
Prescription drug formularies and cost sharing: CMS will defer to states that review prescription drug formularies and rules that prevent discrimination in cost sharing. These might include placing all drugs that treat a certain disease or condition in the highest tier on the formulary or limiting access to benefits based on age without medically appropriate reasons. CMS will conduct the reviews in states that do not review prescription drug formularies and cost sharing.
The new guidance amends the 2018 Letter to Issuers released last December, which outlined how the agency would regulate plans sold on the federally facilitated exchanges (see the December 20, 2016 Health Care Current). The guidance does not affect states that operate their own exchanges.
Earlier this month, CMS proposed changes to the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) for fiscal year FY2018, requested input on Affordable Care Act (ACA)-imposed restrictions on physician-owned hospitals and asked for ideas to cut regulations for hospitals.
Hospitals would see payments increase by 1.6 percent under the IPPS if they meet the requirements of the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program and are meaningful users of electronic health records (EHR). CMS expects total Medicare spending on inpatient hospital services will increase by about $3.1 billion in FY2018.
CMS requests information on physician-owned hospitals and ways to reduce regulatory burden on hospitals. The ACA prohibits physician-owned hospitals from expanding facilities without explicit approval from the HHS secretary. Other recommendations could address payment system reform, reporting, and monitoring requirements. The agency says it aims to improve the health care delivery system through transparency, flexibility, simplification and innovation, and is seeking feedback will help shape future regulatory action.
CMS is accepting comments on the proposed rule and the request for information until June 13, 2017.
Lawmakers in the House of Representatives recently introduced a bill to curb federal health care spending by limiting superfluous medical malpractice lawsuits. If enacted, the bill would cap medical malpractice claims for noneconomic damages at $250,000 for care paid for or subsidized by the federal government, including for government employees and those covered by Medicare, Medicaid, the Veteran's Health Administration, or for public exchange beneficiaries who receive a subsidy or tax benefit.
Non-economic damages include claims for emotional distress, suffering, or mental anguish. The bill would not pre-empt state law, so states would be able to set their own caps and exceptions. California, for example, already limits noneconomic damages in all medical malpractice cases to $250,000, but exempts elder abuse cases from this limit. The bill would not limit how much patients could collect in economic damages, which include medical expenses and lost earnings.
The bill also would prohibit naming the prescribing physician if a patient sues a product manufacturer for FDA-approved drugs or medical devices.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated the bill would reduce the federal deficit by nearly $50 billion over ten years. CBO says that physicians can over-utilize diagnostic tests and other services as a precautionary measure against lawsuits, often called "defensive medicine," which significantly contributes to the overall cost of care. It projected that physicians would be less inclined to practice defensive medicine if the legislation passed. The American Medical Association (AMA), American Hospital Association, and American Health Care Association support the bill. But, some stakeholders from the medical device industry said that limiting liability for clinicians could unfairly increase the burden on device manufacturers.
Earlier this month, the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) sent a letter to HHS Secretary, Tom Price, asking the agency to delay the effective date for new EHR certification requirements. HIMSS said few health information technology (IT) vendors can meet the updated EHR criteria.
The final rule for Health IT Certification Criteria (2015 Edition) established certification requirements for health IT systems for the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). To qualify for incentives under The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015's (MACRA) Quality Payment Program (QPP), providers must use an ONC-certified EHR.
HIMSS asked HHS to delay the requirements by six months, to July 1, 2018. HIMSS said that it usually recommends that ONC publish the final rule at least 18 months before its implementation, and ONC did this for the 2015 Edition. But, it said that health care stakeholders did not have access to the finalized test tools that are required for software development and readiness testing until recently. HIMSS joined a growing group of health care stakeholders and IT executives requesting a delay, including the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives and the AMA.
According to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), Medicaid continues to be at high risk for fraud. The Senate Finance Committee asked GAO to look at how CMS works with states to reduce improper payments in Medicaid. The agency found that sometimes CMS contractors and states work together to review the accuracy of payments, but other states have reported barriers to conducting collaborative audits. Collaborative audits are payment verification efforts that involve both CMS and state Medicaid agencies.
Adapting audits to align with states' needs and capabilities, particularly when looking at managed care delivery systems, which GAO said are at high risk for improper payments. Some states have staff limitations and other barriers that may limit their participation in collaborative audit activities.
Collaborating with states to develop a systematic approach to collecting and disseminating integrity review practices used by states that work well.
The lack of a systematic approach to collecting and disseminating information highlights the need for better oversight and stronger support for efforts at the state level, according to a statement from Senate Finance Chairman Orrin Hatch.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services announced it is submitting a waiver request to CMS next month to reform BadgerCare, its Medicaid program. BadgerCare provides health care coverage for individuals with incomes at or below the federal poverty level (FPL, $12,060 for an individual and $24,600 for a family of four).
Under the proposal, childless adults with incomes above 20 percent of the FPL would have to pay monthly premiums ranging from $1 to $10 per household. Beneficiaries would also face co-payments for emergency room visits, starting at $8 for the first visit and $25 for each subsequent visit in the same year. Beneficiaries could reduce their premiums by 50 percent in exchange for completing a health risk assessment and engaging in certain healthy behavior.
Wisconsin would limit the duration of enrollment for childless adults to four years unless they could show they meet other program requirements, including working. After 48 months of enrollment, individuals would lose coverage for six months. However, if a member is working, participating in a job training program, or is a full-time student, that time would not count toward the eligibility cap. CMS leaders have said they support policies that encourage childless adults receiving Medicaid benefits to seek employment (see the March 21, 2017 Health Care Current). However, in the past, attempts to place time limits on Medicaid coverage have generally been rejected.
Wisconsin would require childless adult applicants to submit to a drug test, and applicants who test positive would be deemed ineligible for benefits and instead referred to substance use disorder treatment. Wisconsin will also request a waiver from the Medicaid institutions for mental disease exclusion to provide coverage for up to 90 days of residential substance use disorder treatment services.
A National Academy of State Health Policy's (NASHP) review of Maine's approach found that an "invisible" high-risk pool may help stabilize the individual market. In 2011 Maine established a funding program for high cost enrollees. It combined reinsurance with a high-risk pool. It also expanded the premium rating bands from a 1.5:1 to a 3:1 ratio. Premium rates dropped by half and plans guaranteed coverage for individuals with pre-existing conditions.
Traditional high-risk pools place high-cost enrollees in a separate health plan. In Maine's invisible high-risk pool, however, high-cost enrollees were not removed from the plan or charged a higher premium. Instead, individuals were assigned to the invisible high-risk pool based on a series of health-related questions they answered when applying for coverage. If an enrollee developed a high-cost condition after they enrolled, the health plan remained fully responsible for all costs.
The invisible high-risk pool and expanded rating bands reduced premiums by 20 percent and attracted young and healthy enrollees, particularly, in lower-cost areas of the state. While the high-risk pool helped to lower costs, lower costs were also a result of decreased benefits. Public Law 90 allowed health plans to provide coverage with fewer benefits and higher cost sharing and deductibles. Many health plans, for example, eliminated maternity benefits. Older individuals and people in higher-cost, usually rural areas of the state, saw higher premiums.
Prior to the launch of the invisible high-risk pool, Maine's largest individual market insurer, Anthem, saw declining individual market enrollment. But 18 months after the invisible high-risk pool started, Anthem's individual market enrollment climbed 13 percent. However, other market forces also contributed to Anthem's member growth. The economy was improving, and Maine's Dirigo Health program, which provided subsidized coverage to individuals and employees of small businesses, capped enrollment at the same time as the high-risk program was launched.
The program was funding through plan-paid premiums into the high-risk pool and an assessment on insurers. Premiums covered about 42 percent of all claims. The remainder of the costs were financed by a $4 per-member-per-month assessment fee on all plans. Unlike other high-risk pools that have depleted their funds, Maine had enough money to cover its costs. The reinsurance program paid 90 percent of claims that fell between $7,500 and $32,500 and 100 percent of claims above $32,500.
The current administration has proposed adopting similar measures to stabilize the individual market and improve the risk pool for plans in the individual market. HHS Secretary, Tom Price, is encouraging states to use Section 1332 waivers to create high-risk pools or state-operated reinsurance programs.
Last week, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) launched a new online Access and Quality Tool to help veterans get patient wait time and quality of care data. The website, www.accesstocare.va.gov, provides patients of the VA health system the ability to answer four questions: How quickly can my VA facility see me? How satisfied are veterans with their care in my facility? How does care in my VA facility compare to other hospitals in the area? How is the VA system doing with access nationally?
Veterans can use the tool to compare average times in their local area; how other patients are experiencing scheduling primary and specialty-care appointments at specific VA facilities; timeliness of appointments for care needed right away; and compare certain quality measures for VA medical centers with private-sector hospitals in their area. The tool provides data on quality measures found on the CMS Hospital Compare site. The next phase of the tool will include outpatient measures.
Officials at VA said that the tool will likely encourage competition and spur the medial facilities within the system to proactively address access and quality. Studies have shown that data on how their peers are doing in certain measures motivates physicians to improve. The new tool also helps empower veterans through more information and transparency about the often complex health system.
An innovative culture is imperative to VA, which is the nation's largest integrated health system in the US. In addition to serving almost nine million veterans annually at over 1,700 care sites, it is also the nation's largest provider of graduate medical education and is heavily involved in medical research. A 2010 study from the Center for Information Technology Leadership found that its investment of $4 billion on health information technology in the previous decade generated $3 billion in savings by eliminating problems that plague many hospitals and health systems, such as duplicative testing and in efficient operations.
Related: Last week, the President signed legislation extending the Veteran's Choice Program, which was set to expire in August. The legislation allows the VA to spend $1 billion in remaining funding to subsidize non-VA medical care for veterans who face long wait times or distances to access VA medical facilities. The bill passed the House and Senate earlier this month, however, lawmakers are interested in figuring out long-term solutions rather than emergency funding in the future.
As discussed in Deloitte's health policy belief, Realizing the potential of telehealth, VA's progress in telehealth is an example of its early accomplishments in developing innovative strategies to increase patient access. VA served over 150,000 beneficiaries with telehealth services in 2012. Telehealth was associated with a 25 percent reduction in number of bed days of care and a 19 percent reduction in hospital admissions across all VA patients. VA studies show videoconferencing can successfully treat post-traumatic stress disorder, and that treating mental health issues via telehealth can be effective when compared to face-to-face visits.

Q: zfs list -t snaphost to identify if pool was changed I was using zfs list -t snapshot to identify if the pool was changed. If the last snapshot was showing that it uses some space then I was sure that pool was changed and I(actually a script) did another snapshot.
What I noticed that if I move a file from 1 folder to another folder in the pool than the command zfs list -t snapshot still returns 0 as a size of the last snapshot. That's not good for me as I need to identify if my pool was changed. What do I do wrong? Is there any other more reliable way of identifying if the pool was actually changed?

A: Snapshots show how your file system looked at a specific point in the past (including its size). If you remove or modify a file afterwards, the blocks that are different (meaning the blocks that are now deleted or modified) will remain on the filesystem (think of them as locked; or similar to how hard links work on Unix, as long as a reference to a file exists, it will not be deleted).
On the contrary, if you just add a new file, the old blocks stay the same, so the snapshot will not differ in size. Moving your folder inside the same file system does not add new data, so it will not show in size.
To view the differences, you can compare the current state with the last snapshot by using zfs diff pool/dataset@snapshot pool/dataset. For details on using the output in scripts, see my other answer here.

MUSICAL-CHAIRS AT THE BRIDGE
By Shreyas Rai
Updated on: May 31, 2021
The tables have finally turned at Stamford Bridge. A faltering and limping Blues season under ex-manager Frank Lampard has finally ended with silverware under Tuchel. Thomas Tuchel was called upon to undertake Lampard's duties and the German boss has guided the Blues to some iconic moments this season. The FA Cup final, a top-4 finish, and a Champions League trophy are some of the things on the German's CV.

But Roman Abramovich's musical chair policy is turning out to be quite successful. The Russian-Israeli businessman bought Chelsea in 2003. And since his arrival, a lot of managers have been shown the exit door.
A handful of inconsistent performances and time would run out for any manager. Some people might call his decisions brutal while some might call him foolish. But whatever term you give to his tactics they seem to be landing trophies at Stamford Bridge.
THE MANAGERIAL CHAIN
The first general of the Blues Army in Abramovich's era was legendary boss Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese had recently been writing a fairytale story with Porto. Sir Alex Ferguson's Red Devils, a team equipped with superstars, had to bow down in front of Mourinho's tactics. And then Mourinho decided to sail Chelsea's ship to glory.
On This Day in 2004, Jose Mourinho was announced as Chelsea Football Club's next manager.

In his stint of 3 and a half years, Mourinho announced his arrival at the big stage, taking the Blues to new heights. The world saw two Premier League trophies being delivered to Stamford Bridge.
He wasn't bad in his third season, as Chelsea finished with a spot at the podium. A string of disappointing performances and Mourinho was asked to pack his stuff and leave.
Then came Avram Grant who was considered to be a revelation at the Bridge. But couldn't turn Chelsea fans' dreams into a reality. With just a silver medal in the Champions League to show, Grants' and Chelsea's relationship ended.
The next manager on the spot was ex-Brazilian national team manager, Luiz Scolari. But Scolari let down Chelsea boards' decision to sign him as the Brazilian failed to impress the footballing world.
The next-in-line Guus Hiddink brought the glory days back to Stamford Bridge. The Dutch manager helped Chelsea win another FA cup as the squad looked dominant but once again Hiddink's stint soon ended. Carlo Ancelotti and Andre-Villas Boas followed next but luck ran out for both of them.
Roberto Di-Matteo proved to be the perfect solution for Abramovic's questions. A Champions League Trophy was the only silverware he was able to win as Chelsea looked for a new leader.

But after a huge number of sackings, Lampard was expected to be backed by the management. Again Lampard failed to live up to the expectations as Tuchel was appointed as the head coach.
And it might seem the end to the musical chairs game if Tuchel fails to add more silverware to Chelsea's trophy cabinet he could be the one under the scanner.
MUSICAL CHAIRS THE SOLUTION
While some pundits might think giving managers the axe after a few dead performances might seem harsh but for Abramovic, it's his mantra to success. Chelsea might have a huge list of fired managers they also have a huge list of trophies won.
From the Premier League to the FA Cup to the Champions League, the Blues might falter in one season but resurrect themselves the very next season. And it's owing to Abramovic's musical chair policy. The businessman believes in results and there's nothing else that can satisfy his thirst.
Last season a fan-favourite at Chelsea, Frank Lampard was bestowed upon the duty to lead Chelsea to new heights. Sarri had won the Europa League with the squad but had conflicting viewpoints with a few players and didn't have the trust of the board. So Chelsea's midfield maestro was called back to Stamford Bridge but was assigned different duties this time out.
Chelsea Football Club has today parted company with Head Coach Frank Lampard.
Frank Lampard was to be given time and money to re-instil the sense of happiness in the squad and make the fans believe that Chelsea's still competing at the big boys' table. But Lampard couldn't replicate his heroics as a player managing Chelsea.
Losses against weaker oppositions, splashing big-bucks all around, important players being benched, and other teams exploiting their weaknesses were some of Lampard's headaches.
Soon Abramovich did what he's known for, sacking Lampard.
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now. pic.twitter.com/VpMfvSiGeA
And last year's UCL silver medal-winning manager, Thomas Tuchel was presented with the Chelsea manager's job. Tuchel helped the Chelsea troops march to glory. Abramovich's ideology is very simple, whoever brings trophies to Bridge gets a contract and whoever falters will be shown the exit door.
