The group' s mission is to educate lawmakers and others about how proposed Medicare' s regulations and health care reforms. Administered through the Cardiology Advocacy Alliance, this group is vitally concerned about potential changes that could inadvertently endanger patient lives. Issues such as imaging equipment utilization rates and reimbursement fee schedules might sound like they would generate simple shifts in business practices, but they represent a real threat restricting access to lifesaving technology that serves the range of rural Medicare recipients to privately insured urban residents alike.
* Support strong credentialing and accreditation programs to make certain that diagnostic equipment is used properly and cost-effectively.
* Encourage the use of criteria to help physicians determine which tests are appropriate based on a patient' s symptoms and medical history.
* Provide for disclosure of physician ownership in hospitals and imaging equipment to promote transparency.
* Ensure patient safety through the creation of emergency care provisions and protocols at physician-owned facilities.
Howdy Readers, I was just going through an interesting read on the internet which i wish to share with you all.Why is the HIPAA Privacy Rule needed?
When it comes to individual health and medical data it can be collected, stored, analyzed and distributed in unprecedented quantities and put to diverse uses. Employers utilize health records to minimize their health care and workers compensation costs, as well as to identify employees who may be costly in the future. Payers not only use patient data for claims payment but also for utilization review, underwriting and coverage decisions.
Health care providers have a strong tradition of protecting private health and medical information. In the present world, traditional method of data locked in filing cabinets is not enough.
In Rapid City SID, a medical student took home copies of patients psychiatric records to work on a research project. He disposed of the material in the trash basket of a fast food restaurant. And that material was found and given to a newspaper reporter.
In Minneapolis MN, a university health facility sent emails to transplant recipients that revealed the names of hundreds of donors to whom confidentiality had been promised.
In Miami FL, several hundred hospital workers browsed through the records of a famous patient that had recently come to the facility, even though few of them were actually involved in the case.
In Tampa FL, a county health department worker copied lists of HIV patients, distributed the information to his friends and sent the information to a local newspaper.
The HIPAA Privacy rule covers national standards to protect the individual medical record and other personal health information and applies to health plans, health care and those health care providers that conduct certain health care transactions electronically.The Privacy rule standards address the use and disclosure of individuals' health information called "Protected Health Information" by organizations subject to the Privacy Rule, known as covered entities, as well as standards for individual privacy rights to understand and control how their health information is used. Major objective of privacy rule is to ensure that individual health information is properly protected while allowing the flow of health information needed to provide and promote high quality health care and to protect the public health.
We all think that Healthcare practices would be rest assured with Regulations, but these kind of discrepancies causes them a great deal of problems and penalties. Hence, they should enhance proper training and follow the strict guidelines of the federal regulation.
Health Conferences are the best place for knowledge and Networking.

Performing Arts Festival launching from Tokyo
Home / F/T12 Main Program / Record of a Journey to Antigone, and Its Performance
Marebito theater company interviews and reports on actual places and residents, including that creation process in the final work, such as its previous "Hiroshima-Nagasaki" series on the cities that have experienced unprecedented calamities. Heading to Fukushima a year on from the disaster in Tohoku, the journey is paralleled by the Greek tragedy "Antigone".
The eponymous heroine defied the law to bury the body of her brother, who died rebelling against the state. She is a symbol of someone that challenges the lines between enemy and ally, the dead and the living. This work purports to show a fictitious touring theatre group taking a performance of "Antigone" to Fukushima, re-examining the ambiguity in the social fissures and demarcations exposed after 3.11.
The "performance tour" will start from the summer, appearing in the real world with its traces visible online through Twitter and a blog. At the F/T12 performance the actors will then show themselves before an audience for the first time. Via numerous texts, audio performances, and acting, the "journey" will be recreated, an experiment in diverse reportage mixing truth and falsities, opening up a route to unknown landscapes and words.
On sale from 10:00 on September 15 (Sat), 2012
Prices: Dated tickets
Advance ¥3,000 (Day + ¥500)

The box office opens 30 minutes prior to start of the performance, and closes 1 hour prior to end of the performance.
Audiences may enter at any time when the box office is open.
Audiences may leave and re-enter.
This theatre work is composed of 2 parts. First it will develop a story inside an actual town from the end of July until October.
At F/T it will then present the second performance, a "dramatized re-enactment" of the records of the first performance.
We recommend that audiences for the F/T performances view the continually updated online records of the first part:

Pain is the most common, frustrating, and problematic of the meniscus tear symptoms. Its the one that you notice first, that lasts the longest, and is of the utmost concern. Pain in and of itself is a very complicated thing. One thing that isn't complicated is the fact that it stops you in your tracks, effects your life significantly, and can be very debilitating.
The human body is extremely complicated. And extremely amazing. The nervous system is especially unique, and somewhat hard to understand. I like to think of the nervous system as a system of highways running throughout the body. They take information from the muscles to the brain, from the brain to the ligaments, and throughout the body. They connect everything, and are the communication system. Without the nerves, nothing works.
Pain Signals: Where Do They Come From?
At the ends of the nerves, there are tiny (and I mean really tiny) receptors. They are designed to recieve different types of signals. Pressure, pain, heat, etc. Pain receptors, or nociceptors as they are called are where pain signals come from.
Pain is caused by many things, but no matter what the causes are, they irritate or stimulate the pain receptors. These signals are transmitted along pain pathways to the central nervous system, where your brain interprets the signal, and you comprehend the pain that you are feeling. All of this occurs in split seconds...instantly even. To keep a long story short, you just need to remember that lots of different things can cause stimulation of the pain receptors. This is what contributes to pain with any type of injury.
The damage to the meniscus doesn't actually cause pain. This is because the meniscus does not have a nerve supply. However, the tissues around the meniscus, which are often irritated or injured as well, do have innervation and can cause pain.
The injury causes bleeding, and the bleeding causes swelling. Swelling causes pressure on all of the joint structures, and that pressure causes pain.
Meniscus tear symptoms of pain and swelling result in a protective mechanism within the muscles. This muscular spasm is an involuntary contraction of the muscles to try to protect the knee. The spasm ends up causing pain. The pain receptors within the muscles become stimulated because of the continuous contraction. This begins the pain / spasm cycle, where pain causes spasm, spasm causes pain, and it feeds on itself.
The loss of range of motion can also contribute to pain. Because you cannot move your knee normally, you cannot stretch your muscles, and you cannot move the joint as you usually do. This can cause the aching, sometimes throbbing pain associated with meniscus tears. Imagine sitting in the same position for several hours, without being able to readjust, or shift your weight around. It would get very uncomfortable. That is what the knee is going through after a meniscus tear. You cannot move it enough to readjust, and so it begins to ache, causing pain.
Initially, meniscus tear symptoms produce pain throughout the knee. The entire thing hurts. You can't pinpoint it because everything inside is so irritated from the swelling. As you get farther away from the initial injury, and swelling subsides, the pain will begin to localize to the medial or lateral joint lines.
Pain is the most common and obvious of all meniscus tear symptoms. All of the other symptoms cause the pain that you feel. The good news is that as your swelling and range of motion get better, the pain begins to subside.

Human DNA polymerase lambda diverged in evolution from DNA polymerase beta toward specific Mn(++) dependence: a kinetic and thermodynamic study.
The recently discovered human DNA polymerase lambda (DNA pol lambda) has been implicated in translesion DNA synthesis across abasic sites. One remarkable feature of this enzyme is its preference for Mn(2+) over Mg(2+) as the activating metal ion, but the molecular basis for this preference is not known. Here, we present a kinetic and thermodynamic analysis of the DNA polymerase reaction catalyzed by full length human DNA pol lambda, showing that Mn(2+) favors specifically the catalytic step of nucleotide incorporation. Besides acting as a poor coactivator for catalysis, Mg(2+) appeared to bind also to an allosteric site, resulting in the inhibition of the synthetic activity of DNA pol lambda and in an increased sensitivity to end product (pyrophosphate) inhibition. Comparison with the closely related enzyme human DNA pol beta, as well as with other DNA synthesising enzymes (mammalian DNA pol alpha and DNA pol delta, Escherichia coli DNA pol I, and HIV-1 reverse transcriptase) indicated that these features are unique to DNA pol lambda. A deletion mutant of DNA pol lambda, which contained the highly conserved catalytic core only representing the C-terminal half of the protein, showed biochemical properties comparable to the full length enzyme but clearly different from the close homologue DNA pol beta, highlighting the existence of important differences between DNA pol lambda and DNA pol beta, despite a high degree of sequence similarity.

Ernst Senff Choir
The Ernst Senff Choir has become an institution in Berlin's cultural life. At the beginning of the 1960s Professor Ernst Senff directed a choir at Berlin's music conservatory (Hochschule) in addition to his duties as chorusmaster of the Municipal Opera (now Deutsche Oper). At this time, the Ernst Senff Chamber Choir, which specialized in unaccompanied works, made a number of radio recordings at SFB (Sender Freies Berlin). The choir's accomplishments soon led to concerts with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Berlin Radio Symphony (now Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester), and other orchestras, and provided the opportunity to work with internationally prominent conductors. All choir members are trained musicians. The ensemble's repertoire ranges across the entire choral-symphonic literature of the 18th to 20th centuries, with a special emphasis on contemporary works. The choir, with up to 120 singers, depending on the work being performed, appears not only in Berlin but also in other German cities, and it has traveled to Israel and Austria. On Senff's retirement, in 1990, Sigurd Brauns was appointed by the choir as his successor.

"Hasn't aged a day in all these years!" Bart Potenza exclaims, indicating the small Buddha statue that presides over the entrance of Candle 79, the upscale Upper East Side restaurant that he and his partner, Joy Pierson, opened in 2003. Tongue in cheek, he adds, "Must be the food."
Postcard from Rio
April 2, 2019 StoryBrian WaniewskiComment
In the air above the beach at Ipanema, there was a mist. The sun—low and setting—illuminated it. People glided past one another. Into slow starring reverie I sank, a stream that warmed and carried me along. For the first time, I felt part of Rio. At last I understood. Months after arriving from New York, I had arrived in the inward city inhabited by the native carioca.
Cebiche, Ceviche, Sebiche, Seviche A Latin American Kitchen Miracle
April 1, 2019 ArticleMaricel PresillaComment
As plausible as this scenario seemed, I could not ignore the fact that cebiches are not "cooked" with anything of local origin, but with citrus juice from Old World trees brought by the Spaniards. This seems to indicate that the Spanish colonists either embraced an existing Peruvian technique, transforming it with familiar ingredients, or stumbled upon the method on their own.

The Raquel Rivera Impact
March 21, 2019 Article, StoryMolly Rockhold
Raquel Quiñones Rivera officially started her music journey in high school, but she's always had an instinct for the melodic expressionism that is apparent in her vast repertoire. It's been a journey of self-discovery that began in her early years in Puerto Rico. "Music was a big part of the culture, so it was almost an automatic familiarity with it," she shares, now reminiscing and reflecting on her past in the midst of a bustling Williamsburg winery.

Eclectic Montreal Jazz Festival strikes again
July 19, 2018 ArticleEmilie PonsComment
Another characteristic of the festival is how international it is. It brings in artists from all over the world: Australia, Austria, Spain, Cap Verde, France, Japan, Belgium, Israel and Congo…and the list continues. And unlike the Newport or the Detroit Jazz Festivals, Montreal features non-jazz acts. This year, rock artists such as Jethro Tull or pop singers such as Charlotte Gainsbourg and Finley Quaye were invited. Finally, on top of featuring the world's most famous musicians, the eclectic Montreal Jazz festival is also a place where one can discover new artists, who, in turn, are given a chance to present their work in front of a rather large audience. Colombian vocalist Lido Pimienta is one of these breathtaking talents the festival scheduled this year. She performed at the Club l'Astral. In spite of being 8-months pregnant, she brought tremendous energy on stage. She also spoke very openly about having been abused in past relationships, because she believes women have to tell their stories.

Pair successfully directs "Chavela," the story of an idiosyncratic star
April 19, 2017 ArticleEmilie PonsComment
How does one pay a cinematographic tribute to an icon such as Mexican singer Chavela Vargas, who embodies utter simplicity and utmost complexity at the same time? This is what filmmakers Catherine Gund and Daresha Kyi achieved with their documentary Chavela, a moving and thought-provoking portrait of the enigmatic singer who helped change the way we see ranchera music and who redefined what it means to be a female singer in the macho world of Mexico. As one of Chavela's friends explains in the film, in order to survive, Chavela had to be more macha than the most machos. Photo © Excelsior / Imagen Digital

All values are for the same variable.
I would like the panel to be standard, meaning to have an id column, a year column and column with the variable values.
The idea is to be able to merge the result from this with another panel using as keys the country and year. So I basically need to have a resulting panel with 3 columns (country, year, value) from this data.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Posted in: Alfie Boe, Music.	Tagged: Alfie Boe, Boston Pops, Classic Quadrophenia.
It's shaping up to be busy few weeks in late Spring / early Summer for Alfie Boe; as well as the cruise, and a scattering of UK concerts, he is now announced for two concerts with Boston Pops as part of their spring season. The concerts take place on May 15 and 16, Rock the Pops with Alfie Boe and tickets go on sale on Monday 26 February, 10am EST, click here.
As we know from Classic Quadrophenia, rock music combined with a symphony orchestra produces a simply sensational sound, one that particularly suits the operatically trained tenor of Alfie. Suggested tracks include those from Pink Floyd, The Who, Queen, the Rolling Stones and Alfie's favourites, Led Zeppelin but I'm sure there will be lots more to enjoy too! Alfie has of course performed with Boston Pops recently, rocking Tanglewood with Pete Townshend's Classic Quadrophenia.
Hopefully, some of the fans Alfie gained from his Tanglewood performance will be able to return to see him again, not to mention those US fans who are super keen to see more and more of Alfie in concert. You never know, perhaps the future will see Alfie perform at other symphonic venues across the USA?
Tickets are on sale from 10am EST 26 February – click here.

kottke.org posts about The Atlantic
163 Years of The Atlantic's Writing on Race and Racism in America
The Atlantic was founded in 1857 and in its early days was an outlet for prominent voices speaking out against slavery. Editor Gillian White has compiled a list of the magazine's writing on race and racism in America from deep in the archive to the present day. It includes writing from Julia Ward Howe, Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, Martin Luther King Jr., and Stokely Carmichael along with pieces from modern voices like Bree Newsome, Eve Ewing, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Ibram X. Kendi, and Nikole Hannah-Jones. In introducing the collection, White writes:
Understanding the present moment requires grappling with a history stained by racial inequity, violence, and the constant fight for forward progress. In a century and a half of writing stories about race in America, The Atlantic has published works that have improved the broad understanding of injustice in America, and also works that furthered ideas and theories that ultimately were proved wrong or harmful. To comprehend the current state of the country, we must consider the aftereffects of both categories. We must also take into account the fact that these stories, in aggregate, are overwhelmingly written by men.
And here are a few pieces I picked out for my own personal reading list:
Reconstruction by Frederick Douglass, December 1866. "No republic is safe that tolerates a privileged class, or denies to any of its citizens equal rights and equal means to maintain them."
The Awakening of the Negro by Booker T. Washington, September 1896. "I wish my readers could have the chance that I have had of going into this community. I wish they could look into the faces of the people and see them beaming with hope and delight."
The Negro Is Your Brother (Letter From Birmingham Jail) by Martin Luther King Jr., August 1963. "Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial 'outside agitator' idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds."
The Prison-Industrial Complex by Eric Schlosser, December 1998. "The United States now imprisons more people than any other country in the world — perhaps half a million more than Communist China. The American inmate population has grown so large that it is difficult to comprehend: imagine the combined populations of Atlanta, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Des Moines, and Miami behind bars."
The Case for Reparations by Ta-Nehisi Coates, June 2014. "And so we must imagine a new country. Reparations — by which I mean the full acceptance of our collective biography and its consequences — is the price we must pay to see ourselves squarely."
Gillian White
A Fresh Look for The Atlantic
posted by Jason Kottke Nov 13, 2019
The Atlantic launched a new visual identity the other day, complete with a new logo, custom typeface, updated website, and iOS app. Here's the first cover carrying the new look:
The effort was led by Peter Mendelsund and his senior art director Oliver Munday. You can hear the pair talk a bit about their process here:
And more from Mendelsund in this conversation with editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg:
My favorite kind of design is a kind of time-released design, where you look at something and you have an immediate impression of it, and then you, upon further reflection, find something in the design that adds to or subverts that first impression.
Really nice work and methodology behind it. Hearing designers talk about how they approach their work always makes me miss practicing design on a daily basis, a former vocation of mine that seems very very far away these days.

No 'Scream Queens' or '24' Spinoffs in Current Fox Plans
By Jamie Jirak - February 6, 2019 05:21 pm EST
Earlier this week, Ryan Murphy got the hopes up of many fans by teasing the possible return of Scream Queens. Unfortunately, if the show is coming back, it won't be for a while.
According to Deadline, Charlie Collier, the new CEO of Fox Entertainment, told the TCA corps "there are no plans right now on Scream Queens." Same goes for another 24 spin-off. At the last TCA, Fox TV group chairman and CEOs Gary Newman and Dana Walden teased the possibility of more 24, but Collier "wasn't ready to announce anything new today."
The good news? Scream Queens and 24 are not being ruled out. Collier made it clear Fox takes "Ryan Murphy seriously when he wants to build something." He also made it known that the company has "much admiration" for the 24 series' creator, Howard Gordon.
The news of a possible Scream Queens revival hit fans on Sunday when Ryan Murphy asked his Instagram followers what they'd like to see in a potential revival.
So many people recently have been asking me about rebooting or continuing SCREAM QUEENS (RIP, taken too soon). Emma, Billie, Lea and I have mused on it, but question: should it be a six episode limited? A catch up movie? Who should I bring back? Would love your thoughts. So many questions....
A post shared by Ryan Murphy (@mrrpmurphy) on Feb 3, 2019 at 1:33pm PST
To make matters even more exciting, Emma Roberts and Lea Michele both commented on the post. Roberts played the queen bee, Chanel Oberlin, in the series while Michele portrayed the weirdo, Hester Ulrich AKA Chanel #6, who was always wearing a neck brace and calling everyone "mom."
"Long live Chanel," Roberts wrote.
"Long live Hester," Michele added.
Scream Queens had a star-studded cast, and audiences would be thrilled to see any of them return. In addition to Roberts and Michele, the series starred Billie Lourd, Abigail Breslin, Keke Palmer, and Jamie Lee Curtis. The show also featured Ariana Grande, Glenn Powell, John Stamos, Nick Jonas, Taylor Lautner, Oliver Hudson, Kirstie Alley, and Niecy Nash. Basically, the cast list is proof that the series deserves a second chance.
While the fate of 24 is still in question, the series has gotten a couple chances at a revival already. The Kiefer Sutherland-led series ran from 2001-2010 and then had a reprieve with a 12-episode mini-series, 24: Live Another Day, in 2014. In 2016, 24: Legacy began. The new series didn't feature Sutherland and only lasted one season before being cancelled by Fox.
Would you like to see Scream Queens and/or 24 return? Tell us in the comments!

Danny McBride to Be a Dad
"I knocked my wife up," the Eastbound and Down star announces on Conan

Kenny Powers has hit another homer.
"I got married last October. I wasted zero time – three months later I knocked my wife up," Eastbound and Down star Danny McBride told Conan O'Brien on Wednesday evening's show.
"I had never impregnated anyone before, so I didn't really realize what they teach you in health class is actually true – that's all it takes," McBride, 34, joked. "It's amazing."
The Your Highness star and wife Gia Ruiz are expecting a son – and a well-endowed one at that, according to the actor.
EXCLUSIVE: Tina Fey Is Pregnant!
"We've been told it's either a three-legged girl or a very well-hung boy," McBride said with a laugh. "We either have a marathon runner or a porn star."


PARIS and LONDON--(Marketwire - March 12, 2008) - During IPTV TV World Forum in London this week, Thomson (Euronext Paris: 18453; NYSE: TMS) announces the launch of new modules to its Smartvision video service platform for delivering video on demand over hybrid broadcast networks (Digital Terrestrial Television and IP or Satellite and IP).
Thomson's SmartVision service platform now comprises a push video mechanism which allows delivery of video on demand applications via DTT or satellite networks to personal video recording (PVR) set-top boxes, without the need for a return request path or IP network and with the same comfort, security and revenue generation opportunities as with standard VOD services.
The SmartVision software platform combines now both push and pull VOD capabilities, offering progressive downloads, file transfer and streaming solutions via the IP connection to set-top boxes. To support access to such services, Thomson's end-to-end portfolio also offers a range of market-leading hybrid broadband/broadcast set-top boxes with personal video recording.
"As the demand for bandwidth-hungry services such as VoD and HD video grows, many operators are turning to hybrid models as a solution for optimising network resources for video delivery," said Tiaan Schutte, General Manager of Thomson's Software Service Platforms, within the Systems division. "As a market leader in end-to-end IPTV solutions and infrastructure equipment to broadcasters, we believe Thomson has the best technologies and market understanding to merge the best of both worlds and take leading positions in the hybrid video market."
Thomson's new hybrid video on demand solution opens up new revenue driving applications such as pushing highly requested content such as blockbusters to the set top box whilst enabling broadcasters to make available as a complement to users, a wider video catalogue available over the IP network. If the IP network has a low bandwidth, the video is downloaded to the set top box progressively and if the bandwidth is high enough with a good quality it can be streamed.
Thomson's SmartVision new push solution also offers video insertion features to add trailers, clips or advertising to the on demand content and further enhance the business model with extra revenue opportunities and cross-selling capabilities.
Thomson (Euronext Paris: 18453; NYSE: TMS) provides technology, services, and systems to help its Media, Entertainment & Communications clients - content creators, content distributors and users of its technology - realize their business goals and optimize their performance in a rapidly changing technology environment.

GOP Secures Control of Virginia House

Virginia Republicans anxious to see the party's takeover of the state House of Delegates in the November election affirmed got what they wanted Friday after election officials in the southeastern part of the commonwealth determined Republican Karen Greenhalgh had won the crucial 51st seat.
Greenleigh led Delegate Alex Askew by 127 votes on Nov. 2 but, as the difference between the two was less than 0.5 percent, the incumbent Democrat availed himself of the option of having the votes recounted at public expense.
He still lost, election officials determined, but by just 115 votes out of more than 28,000 cast, The Washington Post reported.
"House Republicans are excited to begin working for the people of Virginia," Del. Todd Gilbert (R-Shenandoah), who has been elected by the GOP caucus to serve as Speaker of the House once the General Assembly session gets underway on Jan. 12, said in a statement. "Now that the majority is official, we can move forward with a timely transition as to be prepared to work on day one."
Gilbert is expected to work closely with GOP Gov-elect Glenn Youngkin to move the incoming chief executive's priorities including a repeal of the sales taxes on groceries through the legislature despite the Democrats having a one-vote majority in the Virginia Senate.
"While this is not the outcome we hoped for, I continue to be filled with optimism for the future of our Commonwealth and of the city of Virginia Beach," Askew said in a release issued shortly after election officials announced the results. A recount in a second race occurs next week in Hampton, Va., where Republican A.C. Cordoza is ahead of incumbent Democratic Del. Martha M. Mugler by 94 votes out of 27,836 votes cast. If Cordoza is declared the winner, the Republicans will control the House of Delegates, 52-48.
By winning all three statewide constitutional offices in Virginia on Nov. 2 as well as retaking control of the House of Delegates, Virginia Republicans positioned themselves at the forefront of a "Red Wave" that some election observers say foreshadows a rout of Democrats running just about anywhere in America in 2002, leaving the GOP in a position to retake the White House in November 2024.

Billy Joel Is Still a Piano Man
David Rolland
David Rolland | December 28, 2016 | 8:16am
After leaving the heavy-metal band Attila in 1970, Billy Joel found himself working as a lounge singer in a piano bar. In painstaking detail, he recounted that chapter of his life in the song that shot him to fame, "Piano Man." It's one of the saddest songs ever written, describing people drinking themselves away from their unfulfilled dreams. No one in the song seems more pained than the piano-man narrator, who knew he deserved better than playing for this crowd.
That piano man, of course, eventually found fame, fortune, and accolades. Since he wrote that song in 1973, Joel has sold 150 million records and been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Considering the bitterness in "Piano Man's" lyrics, it's surprising that he has returned to his lounge-singer roots. Joel hasn't recorded any new music since 2001, when he released an album of classical compositions called Fantasies & Delusions. You have to go all the way back to 1993's River of Dreams for the most recent piano-based pop music that allowed him to stop living off what was left in his tip jar.
Instead, for the last few years Billy Joel has declared Madison Square Garden his new piano lounge. Once a month, he commutes via helicopter from his home in Long Island to Manhattan, with concerts in other locales sprinkled in, including New Year's Eve at BB&T Center.
Sure, there's more money in these arena gigs than in those old piano bars where the microphone smells like beer, but I can't help but wonder what the narrator of "Piano Man" would think of Joel's later years. Instead of trying to challenge himself artistically, Joel is content to play his old hits in front of massive crowds. Isn't being stuck playing memories what "Piano Man" is railing against?
After being famous for so many decades, it would be impossible for Joel to write fly-on-the-wall lyrics like he did with "Piano Man," but it could be interesting to hear him try. Or maybe he knows there's no point in fighting that we're all in the mood for a melody, and he's got us feeling all right.
Billy Joel. 9:30 p.m. Saturday, December 31, at BB&T Center, 1 Panther Pkwy., Sunrise; 954-835-8000; thebbtcenter.com. Tickets cost $49-$159 via ticketmaster.com.

Q: Действия по конкретным словам в AutoCompleteTextView Есть fragment на ней два AutoCompleteTextView и Button, у меня AutoCompleteTextView заполнен из текстовых ресурсов, но для примера я напишу так допустим он заполнен массивом {"1","2","3"}. Как сделать так, чтобы если пользователь вводил в AutoCompleteTextView 1 при нажатии на кнопку выполнялись такие-то действия, 2 - другие. Или так нельзя?
Мой код тут 2 AutoCompleteTextView
public class FragmentSearchRoute extends Fragment {

    AutoCompleteTextView autotxt1,autotxt2;
    String [] ar;
    List<String> arList;

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        getActivity().setTitle(R.string.fr3);
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_search_route, container, false);
        autotxt1 = (AutoCompleteTextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.autotv1);
        autotxt2 = (AutoCompleteTextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.autotv2);
        ar = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.stops);
        arList  = Arrays.asList(ar);
        ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(), android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, arList);
        autotxt1.setAdapter(adapter);
        autotxt2.setAdapter(adapter);
    return rootView;
    }
}

A: Если я правильно понял, задача такая: нужно, чтобы после ввода строки и клика на кнопку, выполнялось определенное действие (для каждой введенной строки разное).
Достаточно просто повесить на кнопку OnClickListener и при клике проверять, какой текст был введен и выбирать действие:
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
        String text = autotxt1.getText().toString();
        switch (text) {
            case "1": ...
            case "2": ...
            ...
        }
    }

Like A Thief In Broad Daylight
Power in the Era of Post-Humanity
Pre-Order From
In our brave new world of Big Tech, work is automated and money melts into air. What comes next as the global capitalist edifice crumbles? Slavoj Žižek shows how the answer is already stealing into sight, like a thief in broad daylight. What we must do is wake up and see it.
'In a world determined to crush hope of radical change, where moral corruption poses as pragmatism and systemic oppression as the new freedom, Slavoj Žižek's excellent new book serves humanity in a way that only authentic philosophy can' Yanis Varoufakis
'The Elvis of cultural theory' New Statesman
'Master of the counterintuitive observation' New Yorker
Žižek is a thinker who regards nothing as outside his field: the result is deeply interesting and provocative
The Courage of Hopelessness
Against the Double Blackmail
Slavoj Žižek is a Hegelian philosopher, Lacanian psychoanalyst, and political activist. He is international director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities and Eminent Scholar at Kyung-Hee University, Seoul. His previous books include Living in the End Times, First as Tragedy, Then as Farce, Trouble in Paradise and, most recently, The Courage of Hopelessness.


Haven't really been gung-ho on the magnets lately but it looked so easy on this kit. Only issue was the hull front turret but I think I solved that.
So as a follow up on the above - I was looking through the instructions more closely and it looks like the main turret main weapon may be an issue. Does anyone have any experience with that or thoughts on it? I have a pred where I just magnetized the top and bottom pieces of the turret itself so I could pull it apart and swap the weapon, but I'm not super happy with that. The gun mount is a little floppy and the join between the turret pieces is a little too obvious. I'm trying to up my modelcraft game on this model more than my actual game game.
The best I can do with the main gun is snip the nubs at the end of the gun (the part that normally goes inside the turret), and then that makes it easy to switch. The targeting bit that normally goes on the gun, can go right above it with a little bit of snipping.
That's not a bad idea. Though looking at the turret construction it wouldn't be too hard to just magnetize the top and bottom halves to come apart and the join would not be visible.

Crystal was great. The boys loved her and the dishes were done, dog taken out and she even got a "june" bug with the spray from under the sink! Very impressed with her and SeekingSitters :) More date nights are on the calendar!
Crystal was a wonderful sitter. My daughter asked the next day if we could go out again so that Crystal could come back. We had a great 1st experience with SeekingSitters and are very happy we signed up. I've already booked my next job.

Contraception options and provision to adolescents
Cynthia L. Robbins, Mary Ott
Adolescent pregnancy is a significant cause of global morbidity and mortality. Adolescents who become pregnancy have lower educational attainment, are more likely to live in poverty, and have lower wellbeing. Increasing access to hormonal contraceptives and long acting reversible contraception is highly effective in reducing adolescent pregnancies. This narrative review covers key aspects of the provision of contraception to adolescents, including confidentiality, counseling, and data supporting expanded access to adolescents. We provide information for pediatric providers to start adolescent patients on contraceptives, including a detailed description of each method, including effectiveness, use, starting, side effects and benefits. Tools for counseling and prescribing are provided.

Sikkim govt schools get India's 1st textbooks with 'local connect'
Concepts like human-wildlife conflict, environment & community make the new textbooks a much-needed lesson for youngsters to connect with the immediate surroundings & gain crucial knowledge
Team EastMojo
Guwahati: On the occasion of Children's Day, Sikkim launched a first-of-its-kind initiative to offer textbooks for primary levels of government schools which focuses on education on sustainable development (ESD) along with local contextualisation.
The textbooks meant for students of Classes I to V are a fresh take on education and probably the first in the country to embed concepts of peace and sustainable development in Maths, Environmental Studies (EVS) and English.
In an interview with Echostream, GP Upadhyaya, additional chief secretary, education department of Sikkim (SCERT), said that to get the books prepared, they engaged with two organisations: Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP), a part of UNESCO, for embedding sustainable development goals; and with Azim Premji University, which did the capacity building of the textbook writers.
They also associated with a local design agency called Echostream for providing description to the concepts of sustainability and SDGs, giving it a local flavour and local taste so that children can appreciate it.
Dr Rabin Chhetri, director of SCERT, said, that in the beginning of 2017 itself, Sikkim started reviewing textbooks used in government schools. A textbook and curriculum development team conducted surveys, spoke with teachers and previous textbook writing team, and recommended to rewrite textbooks of primary level for government schools.
And then, a team of 45 textbook writing members was constituted. "The idea was to write textbooks for the schools of this by the team from the state itself," said Chhetri.
Human resources development minister Kunga Nima Lepcha said that the books for Classes I to III are ready, while textbooks for Classes IV and V are ready to be piloted in 40 schools.
"With the new textbooks, the government of Sikkim wishes to enable the students to relate their classroom learning with their life experiences and become sensitive towards their environment, society, country and the world as a whole," he added.

Plan of action
A working plan in four phases was finalised. In the first phase, the emphasis was on the capacity development of textbook writers on understanding curriculum, syllabus, and textbooks. This also covered the nature and pedagogy of subjects and embedding of ESP.
In the second phase, workshops were conducted for conceptualising, writing, and reviewing the textbooks. This required multiple visits to villages across the state to collate content, and review drafts.
In the third phase, the books were designed and illustrations, content and culture-specific were designed and in the fourth and last phase, the completed books were piloted in selected 40 schools in Sikkim this year.
Along with the launch, teachers of the concerned subject were also trained by a team from Azim Premji University. Also, follow-up visits were made to schools to assess the classroom practice of teachers using the textbooks. The visits aided in feedback mechanism which in turn helped further fine-tune the books.
In an instance of citing examples for women empowerment, the exemplar of a local vegetable seller from Pakyong was taken. All the details, design and scenario for which were made in consultation with the said vegetable vendor.
Covering concepts like human-wildlife conflict, environment, state, and collaborations across ages and community make the new textbooks a much-needed lesson for the youngsters to connect with their immediate surroundings and at the same time, gain crucial knowledge.
Education on sustainable development
ESD elements in the books makes the child think of concepts of inclusive, challenge gender biases and roles, tackle current issues and realities such as keeping a clean environment, natural calamities, harmony with the wildlife, respecting natural resources and dignity of labour.
The reference documents used for coming up with the new textbooks are -- National Curriculum Framework, NCERT syllabus 2017, Learning outcomes of elementary level developed by NCERT and textbooks for Sustainable Development: A guide to Embedding by MGIEP UNESCO.

Photo #1 is the Tail Light operating. Photo #2 is the Brake Light operating.
Step 1: This Is the Tail/Brake Light.
Photo #1 is the switch. It's just a strip of flexible plastic from a paint pail bent in half. The contacts are brass plated paper fasteners as in photo #3. Being brass plated, it's easy to solder wires to them. Two of the LED red wires are connected together separate from the other LEDs for the Tail Light and share the ground with the other LEDs. Photo #4 is the wiring diagram.
I used a RC Plane wheel stop on the cable (photo #5) to press against the plastic when the rear brake is engaged, also from Ebay. It takes a little trial and error to get the tension adjusted to work correctly. You want the Brake Light to come on before the pads contact the rim enough to slow the wheel down but not too soon.
The Tail/Brake Light and Headlight are all running on 12 volts.
being that close to the wheel, have you had any trouble with the contacts getting dirty and not functioning properly?
To be honest, I haven't even taken this bike out on the road yet. It's an ebike that I've been working on for a couple months. I got everything done a few weeks ago and then the weather got cold. Really cold, like below zero F.
I believe there won't be a problem though because the switch is out in the open and will be easy to clean off. The contacts are bright brass so dirt and rain should fall right off.
There are rear brake lights for sale on ebay that use a similar idea for the switch but the're enclosed in a plastic housing. I think those could hold water and dirt and that might cause the switch to fail.
The switch I made cost next to nothing so replacing it wouldn't be a big deal if it did fail.

Q: Firefox does not prompt for password for http authenticated sites, how to make it prompt? I'm trying to log in to the corporate intranet. It used to ask me for a password in Firefox.
But suddenly it stopped to do so, and only shows an HTTP 401 Unauthorized error message, just like when you cancel the prompt.
I tried to use livehttpheaders to see if it tries to send wrong credentials but it doesn't send anything in the headers.
Tried the do same on another computer. I got the same headers but it did show the authentication prompt. So I can progress an authenticate.
I tried to delete all history, create a new profile, but no avail.
It works with other browsers and works on another computer on the same operating system with the same version of FF too.
So it seems some of the global settings were screwed up in my FF. Does anybody how can I get my prompt back?

A: NTLMv1 authentication has been disabled by default in Firefox 30. To enable, the
pref network.negotiate-auth.allow-insecure-ntlm-v1 needs to be set to True.
See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/30/Site_Compatibility (down
the page under "Security").

A: I set:  network.negotiate-auth.allow-insecure-ntlm-v1 to true
and now I am getting the prompts again.

A: You could try running Firefox in Safe-Mode to see if it helps you troubleshoot the issue.
Otherwise, I would take a look at your Preferences -> Security -> Saved Passwords. You might want to try deleting the intranet site if it is saved there.

A: I ran into this problem because I had multiple windows open and the auth dialog was in a different (hidden) window that was called before.

I remember when my high school best friend turned 18, she got a brand new Mini Cooper but she also received an important life lesson – ironically before she'd even got her driver's license – her dad spent a Saturday afternoon with her teaching her how to change a tyre. He showed her how to change the tyre and then made her remove and replace the other three. At the time I made some ridiculously stupid joke about how I'd make sure I got insurance with road side support (I'm not proud to admit that in high school I may have been that pathetically isolated and spoilt). Now? I feel like a fool.
And I realised I didn't know how to change a tyre when a press release dropped in my inbox recently. I was suddenly so embarrassed. Which is why, for the first time ever on this blog, I'm going to copy past parts of a press release for you. Because it is actually rather useful and I do think of value. I actually drive a Ford and I like this direction of content they're taking which empowers all car owners, regardless of brand.
Turn on the hazard lights, use the parking brake, switch off the engine, and place the reflective triangle on the road 45m behind your vehicle.
I'm really bad at checking tyre pressure when I full up with petrol. Something I'm now rethinking. The press release I got these steps from also included some useful information around tyre care. Again, I'm sharing because I feel like there is a benefit here to many of us.
Most tyres have a tread depth indicator, and once the tyre is worn to that point, it needs to be replaced. To a degree, the tread on your tyres increases their grip on the road, deflects water, and reduces slippage. The Automobile Association of South Africa (AA) recommends a minimum tread depth of 2mm.
I realise some of this stuff is obvious to many, but for me it was a reminder that I actually need to pay attention to my tyres. Also guarantee if I ever have a flat I'll using this post as my step by step guide to get me through my first tyre change!

For much of the war, the armies of the Triple Entente and the Triple Alliance faced each other from a series of trenches separated only by a small area, perhaps 25 to 100 meters across, called "no man's land." The trench system stretched from the mountains in the east to the English Channel in the west. The trenches were usually two metres deep by two metres wide and the walls were supported by sandbags. Snipers could shoot any soldier who lifted his head above the trench.
Mary Plummer, With the First Canadian Contingent (Toronto: Hodder & Stoughton, 1915), pp. 52-53.
Trench Life.
Though enemies, soldiers on both sides shared many of the same hardships. At times, they even enjoyed a strong sense of camaraderie.
The Fortyniner, No. 3, December 1915, p. 4.
"Open Letter."
The editor of The Fortyniner explains how censorship affects his reporting.
The front-line trenches were the firing lines and guns were placed strategically to shoot at the enemy. Behind were lines of support and communication trenches. Duty at the front generally lasted four to six days, and then the soldiers went to the support trenches for four to six more, where they carried ammunition and supplies to the front. Then they were taken out of the trenches for about four days to train, work, and rest.
