Betrayest thou the son of Roach with a bomb?
Roaches. You gotta love em. The perfect critters. But sometimes you gotta kill em, and that can be hard. Roaches have places they hide, where it is difficult to reach them with chemicals.
There is a technique for controlling feral goat populations which uses a "Judas Goat". This goat is fitted with a radio transponder and turned loose. Goats like other goats, so Judas finds his way into the wild goat herd and hangs out with them. Then the guys with helicopters come, homing in on Judas.
The same technique should work with roaches. I propose that very large Judas roaches be raised in a lab. On there backs will be glued several pellets which degenerate over a week, finally falling off and opening to release pesticide - preferably a strong, long lasting contact poison. During that week, these lab-reared brutes will muscle their way into the finest roach hiding spots, temporarily becoming roach royalty. When the pesticide comes out, these refuges will be turned into roach killing zones. This will kill roaches while decreasing overall pesticide use.
Perfect. Now all we need is a Judas Republican.
We already had a Judas Democrat last election.
I always thought the Judas goat was used in abbatoirs, to help calm the incoming animals.
This is exactly how a variety of insecticides on the market work: the bugs in question, roaches, ants, wasps, etc., picking the bait up and taking it home, where it kills the whole lot.
And the sci fi angle is Baked, too.
I thought this was going to involve smoking. Or heavy metal.
I know that some poisons are supposed to be tracked back by roaches. But how is some puny, dying roach going to claim prime space and get the goods where they are supposed to go? How do you know roaches will actually walk where you put poison, and pick up enough to kill anything other that themselves. Judas Roach is a direct route to this end, so to speak.
As regards the abbatoir - Judas Goat is also used in that context, as I learned on my google.
These boots were made for stalkin'.
Inoculating the Judas Roach with a disease that is extremely contagious to this species of roach would finish, for once and for all, both the job at hand and any sales opportunities in the neighborhood or city.
Why not hook a small radio transponder to your huge Judas roach? That way it would hide with the other roaches and you would be able to tell the pest control man exactly where they are.
You can't use transponders cause that would be Breakin the Law, breakin the Law, If you think that would work You Got Another Thing Coming.
This is very baked (at least the concept). There is a product caled a rach station, made by Combat. It consists of plastic disks with a labyrinth kind of thing which the roach enters. The roach gets coated with some stuff which is a slow acting pison that gets transferred to the nest.
For some reason, roaches love getting sucked into vaccuum cleaners where they explode from hitting the fan.... Judas Vaccuum cleaners.... however, if you do, make sure you have a proper HETA approved filter though or you'll spread airborne pathogens around.
Ah, the Roach Roomba perhaps.
As has been pointed out several times most commercial roach poisons work this way. But there is one added effect that has not been mentioned. Roaches are cannibalistic, so when one roach eats the poison it goes back to the nest and dies where its fellows eat its body and are poisoned in turn.
The "Combat - Roach Killer" linked to relies on the bait-visiting roaches to ingest the poison.
To keep reusing the Judas Roaches, each station could include a gel-bait applicator to place a sticky poison on its back where it would be harmless to the Judas Roach, but available (at least after it died) to the roaches in the nest. The bait offered for eating at the station would be non-toxic.
I've wondered if a roach would ever eat off the back of another. It would be helpful, but not critical to this product's success.
This would also keep roaches from evolving an avoidance of the usual (toxic and non-toxic) bait ingredients.
I just want to add that "Judas Roach" would be an awesome name for a rock band - or for a lead singer.

Hand-holding 'Lovers of Modena' skeletons are male
By Nick Squires
Rome: A pair of ancient skeletons found in Italy and nicknamed the "Lovers of Modena" have been revealed to be men.
The nickname was given to the skeletons, which date to about the fifth century, because they were buried holding hands in the Ciro Menotti necropolis near Modena in northern Italy.

Since their discovery in 2009, it was assumed that they were a man and a woman, perhaps a husband and wife - but the poor preservation of the bones meant that scientists could not be certain.
Now, their gender has been revealed using new techniques based on the protein of tooth enamel.
"We were able to ... confidently classify them as males," scientists from the University of Bologna said in the journal Scientific Reports.

The exact relationship between the two men remains a mystery. Researchers are convinced that they were intentionally buried hand-in-hand and suggest they may have been brothers, or soldiers who died together in battle.
The latter theory is supported by the fact that other skeletons found in the cemetery showed signs of trauma, "likely related to their violent death during war conflicts", the team said.
"The two 'lovers' could have been war comrades or friends, who died together during a skirmish and were buried within the same grave.
"Alternatively, the two individuals were relatives, possibly cousins or brothers given their similar ages, sharing the same grave due to their family bond."
Federico Lugli, the lead author of the findings, told Italy's Rai television network: "Many tombs have been found in the past with couples holding hands, but in those cases it was a man and a woman. What may have been the bond between these two individuals is a mystery."
The research team said: "The discovery of two adult males intentionally buried hand-in-hand may have profound implications for our understanding of funerary practices in Late Antique Italy."
It was unlikely the men were gay, the scientists said. Social attitudes and Christian beliefs meant that the "deliberate manifestation of a homosexual relationship" would have been severely frowned on during the era in which the men died. During the rule of the Emperor Justinian, from AD527 to AD565, "sex between males was fully considered a crime".
The team said the finding was unique - there have been many cases of men and women buried hand-in-hand in the past, but none of two men.

TV Review | Bob & Doug 1.1, 1.2 - "Back to School," "No Country for Old People"
People seem to overlook the forces of CanCon that created the Bob & Doug (Global: starts April 19, 7:30 PM) phenomenon. As has been exhaustively reiterated, CBC wanted Canadian filler for its version of SCTV Network 90, which was two minutes longer than the American version.
Not fond of the request, Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas generally pissed around at the end of a shooting day, talking about various Canadian inanities in the most stereotypical manner ever. The sketches were meant as throwaways, a collective up-yours to government-mandated culture.
Come 2009, Kanadian Korner/Great White North has spawned two albums, a feature-length film, an anniversary special and this new animated series. It's SCTV's most enduring cultural legacy, which is a shame as Count Floyd was a better character. Bob and Doug get Strange Brew while Count Floyd rates a how-to video. It's an unfair 3D world…of slavechicks! Ha ha ha!
I had apprehensions about Bob & Doug before it debuted. This show had been languishing in development hell since at least 2003. A preview was released as part of the Strange Brew DVD, but that title debuted on DVD in 2002. Needless to say, I had visions of Bob & Doug being unwatchable.
Luckily, Bob & Doug isn't horrible. It's not great, but it's better than I figured it was going to be. For an almost thirty-year-old franchise, Bob & Doug is surprisingly vital.
Dave Coulier is alright as the voice of Bob McKenzie, although he's no Rick Moranis. Dave Thomas is off-model as Doug McKenzie, which isn't surprising since he's edging sixty. Thomas sounds more like himself than he does his principal character. It doesn't take away from Bob & Doug's quality, but it's noticeable enough.
The voiceover cast includes Patrick McKenna, Derek McGrath, Neil Crone, Ron Pardo and Michael Dunston. It's a given that the voiceover acting is more jarring than in an American series, but casting Maurice LaMarche for an episode was a good move. The last Canadian adult animated series I heard him in was Tripping the Rift, so Bob & Doug is a step up. I'm also not surprised to hear Jayne Eastwood on the show, since she's about one-quarter of all Canadian acting.
Bob & Doug takes the post-modern tack of many cartoons, ignoring the fourth wall and making self-aware references to itself. There are asides where Bob & Doug cut from the action to explain the episode's concept to the audience. The show even parodies popular culture much like The Simpsons. Bob & Doug is Strange Brew on steroids.
Of course, none of this matters if Bob & Doug isn't funny, and it isn't much of the time. I can see the promise in the show, yet the gags are stitched together and have the subtlety of a jackhammer. The talent's there, the writing is sometimes good, but Bob & Doug doesn't gel the way it should. Strange Brew at least let the jokes unfold when it wasn't trying to shoehorn Hamlet into a buddy-comedy format.
Bob & Doug's animation style honestly reminds me of John Callahan's Quads! Bob & Doug is not as badly-animated as Quads! – Quads! didn't even have backgrounds – but it's still a typical Flash-animated cartoon. Bob & Doug deserves better.
Fox helped develop Bob & Doug, yet its animated shows are usually of a higher standard than this. Bob & Doug seems like a show Fox would air during the summer to burn off. I'll be amazed if Fox even airs Bob & Doug despite Bob & Doug McKenzie's cross-border popularity.
While Bob & Doug McKenzie are true Canadian icons, I honestly can't see a long future for Bob & Doug based on the cheap production values and uneven writing. Of course, Chilly Beach looked worse than Bob & Doug yet found its niche, so anything can happen on Canadian television. At the very least, Bob & Doug ought to earn higher ratings than 'da Kink in My Hair.

The AVs depend on software that is occasionally updated. They depend on data that is occasionally updated. They depend on sensors that could be jammed, flooded or spoofed. Then (as has already been mentioned) car manufacturers connect other networked systems (bluetooth, phone, radio, TV ...) to internal networks that are also connected to safety-related subsystems. Everything that I have mentioned is a possible channel for cyberattack. When we have a fleet of AVs, that's a huge set of possible vectors for cyberattack (which I referred to as the "attack surface").
Now, let's imagine that Google has carried out exhaustive penetration testing (I know this is impossible - which makes the following argument even stronger) and that we agree that their AV is secure against all possible attacks. Then they release a software change. Re-running all the driving, through simulation, isn't enough. They have to rerun exhaustive pen testing too (which could involve all possible attacks under all possible driving conditions). Recertification feels to me like an important issue and I haven't heard anything that gives me confidence that anyone yet has a feasible approach to a solution.
> academic community concerned examining traffic accidents.
You misunderstand me - probably because I was not clear enough. I meant to ask whether anyone is currently studying the impact that AVs are having (and will have) on the overall safety of the total road transport system. For example, will the knowledge (by drivers, cyclists, pedestrians ...) that many vehicles are AVs change the behaviour of these other road users in a way that changes the frequency of accidents in which an AV is not deemed to have been at fault (and in which it may not even have been involved)?
To illustrate what I mean with just one, very small, example, cyclists might get used to AVs passing them with a wider clearance than is the normal behaviour of human drivers. (This /should/ happen because the code of acceptable driving - called the /Highway Code/ in the UK, for instance - sets a standard that many drivers currently forget or ignore). This could change cyclists' behaviour, after some time, in a way that leads them to have more accidents with cars that have human drivers. It's possible even that the overall rate of accidents between cars and cyclists would rise as a consequence of introducing AVs, even though the AVs had may fewer accidents with cyclists than the average for non-AVs before their introduction.
Should there be a safety argument that the introduction of AVs will not reduce the safety of the road transport system, rather than a safety argument that AVs are as safe or safer than cars driven by humans?

Stuy Town holds menorah lighting
Phoyos by Maya Rader
By Maya Rader
Stuy Town residents celebrated Hanukkah, Festival of Lights, at the Oval on Wednesday evening. The event was kicked off by East End Temple Rabbi Dennis Ross giving a blessing and lighting the candles on a menorah constructed on the Oval lawn.
After the lighting, attendees enjoyed cider, hot chocolate and doughnuts provided by Five Stuy Café. Yosi, from the band Yosi and the Superdads, played Hanukkah-themed music. Children gathered around him and danced to songs like "I Have a Little Dreidel."
Children also decorated their own menorah-shaped napkin holders at a table nearby. The young event attendees were also treated to toy dreidels and gelt.

Quik Park proposes new policy on payment
Quik Park, which operates the parking garages in STPCV, recently announced that customers would face a fee unless they enrolled in the online payment plan that automatically charges the monthly bill to a credit card or bank account, but Councilmember Dan Garodnick said his office has learned that this new policy will not be implemented.
Councilmember Garodnick sent a letter to StuyTown general manager Rick Hayduk and Quik Park CEO Rafael Llopiz on Wednesday regarding the new proposed policy, arguing that online payment would adversely affect the high senior population in STPCV. Garodnick noted that concerns about the proposed policy were especially high given that Quik Park had also increased its rates earlier this year.
Llopiz did not respond to a request for comment on the policy. Councilmember Garodnick's letter to Llopiz and Hayduk is below.

2016: The year in review
It's been said that all news is local and this year that could even be said about major news coverage ranging from the presidential election to a terrorist attack to a now infamous hate crime hoax.
Read on for T&V's roundup of the top 10 local news developments (and stories with a local impact) of the year.
Mount Sinai Beth Israel (Photo by Maria Rocha-Buschel)
1. After rumors swirled of an impending closure, the administration of Mount Sinai Beth Israel announced that it would be downsizing the hospital, which has over 800 beds, to a much smaller one with 70 beds and an outpatient care model. The main campus across from Stuyvesant Town on First Avenue, deemed too old and costly to bring up to modern specifications (a renovation estimate was $1.3 billion) would eventually be put on the market. However, hospital brass has said this would only happen following the building of a new hospital adjacent to the Eye and Ear Infirmary on East 14th Street. The rebuild, estimated to cost around $500,000, is a process that has already begun with improvements to existing facilities like the ambulatory center in Union Square. In related news, Beth Israel's president Suzanne Somerville recently stepped down, while a Peter Cooper Village doctor, Jeremy Boal, has been named the president of Mount Sinai Downtown. This includes Beth Israel and the Eye and Ear Infirmary.

L train breakdancer wanted for phone snatching
Phone snatching suspect
Police are looking for a subway performer in connection with a phone snatching that took place on Christmas Day around 2 p.m. in the 13th precinct.
Police sources said that the 54-year-old victim was traveling on the L train with his wife and son and while the train was between First and Third Avenues, the suspect and others began breakdancing in the car. The victim told police that he asked them to stop because the noise was disturbing his sleeping son. Sources said that the suspect and other performers ignored him, so the victim began filming them. When the train pulled into the station at Third Avenue, the suspect reportedly grabbed the victim's Samsung Galaxy phone and ran off the train. The victim said that he ran onto the platform after him, tackling the suspect and knocking the phone to the ground. The breakdancer then fled the station and no arrest was made at the time of the incident.
Police described the suspect as a black man around 5'6″ and approximately 160 lbs. Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website or by texting their tips and TIP577 to 274637 (CRIMES).

Man drops pants and pees in view of kids across from PS 116
Parent Mitch Horowitz said this man urinated on the street and then lingered by a schoolbus, smiling at the kids inside.
Residents of Kips Bay have long complained about homeless men in the area being out of control but on Friday morning, the antics of one bum managed even to shock locals when he dropped his pants and peed across the street from a school.
Around two dozen fourth graders were outside the school on East 33rd Street, PS 116, when it happened, as was one boy's father, who was there to chaperone a class trip.
The parent, Mitch Horowitz, watched as the man exposed himself and urinated, not bothering to face away from the kids outside. "He was not even standing next to a wall," said Horowitz. "He was in full view of passersby and kids who were lined up outside."
Fortunately, Horowitz said, he didn't think any of the kids happened to see this, since they were busy talking amongst themselves about Pokemon and other matters.
"Thank God for childhood," said Horowitz. "They weren't scrutinizing things going on across the street like I am."

Kips Bay fire that killed two dogs was electrical
A fire in Kips Bay that killed two dogs but left no residents injured was electrical, the FDNY said.
A spokesperson for the FDNY told Town & Village there was a problem with the electrical wiring in the ceiling of a fourth-floor apartment.
The fire had broken out in a four-story building at 122 Lexington Avenue on Monday, the day after Christmas.
The New York Post reported that the blaze started in a fourth floor apartment of the building, which is near East 28th Street, and spread to the third floor and roof, also damaging a restaurant on the ground.
Officials told the Post that residents were not able to return to their apartments on the third and fourth floors on Monday night but apartments on the second floor may still have been habitable.
The FDNY said that the fire started around 6 p.m. and was under control about 20 minutes later. Three firefighters were sent to Bellevue with non-life-threatening injuries.

Editorial: Hate hoax sad for many reasons
By now everyone is familiar with the harassment hoax perpetrated by a Muslim Baruch College student. Because of her actions the headlines have been fast and, understandably, furious. But curiously what seems to have been included in the stories merely as an afterthought is the fact that since the hate crime drama turned out to be a lie, the student, Yasmin Seweid's, head was shaved, apparently as a punishment by her parents. Additionally, her once thick eyebrows appear to have been shaved down as well. Gone also is the hijab she claimed white Trump supporters tried to pull off her head on the train although the meaning behind its absence hasn't been made clear.
According to a Daily News story the punishment wasn't just over lying to the NYPD, the press, her family and everyone else about the bias incident. It was also because she'd been dating a Christian. She had also reportedly been out past her curfew and the reaction from her parents at the time seemed far scarier to her than the risks associated with making a false police report.And now we know why. To describe her parents simply as strict would be an understatement when considering that this particular punishment was inflicted with the intent of humiliating their adult daughter in a very public way.

Opinion: The apprentice president
What can you say about a guy who breaks all the precedents, smashes conventions and blazes a totally new path? Well, you could say that person is an innovator and a risk taker. But in the presidency? And with a man with absolutely no government experience? Thus far, Donald Trump has refused to
hold any press conferences, release any of his tax returns, or be held accountable for his vast business entanglements. And given his international business relationships, an understanding of where conflicts of interest exist is essential.
The President of the United States is supposed to be free from any external influence that might taint his decision making.
But Trump says NO to releasing information about his outside businesses or his taxes, something that no President has refused in 40 years. Trump further breaks with tradition by declaring that he will not disengage from his sprawling private real estate empire by divesting or placing them in some form of a blind trust. Instead he says that his closest family members can run them with no impact on his presidential decisions.

Thank you – Over 250 toys donated to T&V drive
Gifts donated to Mount Sinai Beth Israel (Photo by Sabina Mollot)
Readers of Town & Village have once again made the holidays a little brighter for children stuck in hospital rooms as well as the families utilizing the outpatient clinics run by Mount Sinai Beth Israel by donating over 250 toys to this newspaper's annual drive.
Gifts for kids of all ages were donated this year, from board games to books to stuffed animals to arts and crafts supplies to games sure to cheer any fan of Star Wars.
Town & Village's partners on this longstanding community tradition are Blackstone/Stuy Town Property Services, the management of Waterside Plaza and M&T Bank on First Avenue and 23rd Street, who all provided convenient toy dropoff sites.
Bonnie Robbins, PhD, coordinator of children and family services at Mount Sinai Beth Israel, has said in recent years the hospital has faced some difficulty in getting enough toys to meet the needs of patients. This is due to the economy as well as other factors like drives for larger organizations competing for the support of individuals as well as toy retailers.
The hospital's clinics are located throughout the city with three in the Kips Bay/Gramercy area, and for many patient families, parents often have to choose between clothes for their children or toys.
Fortunately, the turnout of this year's drive, Robbins said, will be a big help.
"We are enormously proud and grateful to be a part of this supportive, generous community," said Robbins. "Once again residents and businesses have opened their hearts to our children. This very successful toy drive helps us to provide a happy holiday to our kids and families, and it would not be possible without the support of our fabulous neighbors."
The staff of Town & Village would also like to say thank you and happy holidays to our readers, SPS, Waterside and M&T Bank.

It's almost impossible to get into Rolf's German restaurant in Gramercy around holiday time unless you've made your reservation in October. (Photos by Sabina Mollot)
Rolf's, a German/Bavarian restaurant in Gramercy, has been known for years for its stunning display of antique dolls complemented with rows and rows of Christmas ornaments and lights strewn throughout the space during the holiday season.
But few know the history behind the tradition, which began 35 years ago and has since made the venue world-famous.
It was in 1981 when the original owner of the restaurant, Rolf Hoffman, died due to lung cancer at the age of 49.
Robert Maisano, who now owns the place, knew Hoffman and recalled how he very much wanted to keep the place a German restaurant, serving up heaping plates of schnitzel, sausages and potato pancakes.
Maisano hasn't strayed from this mission, though the emphasis on transforming Rolf's into a winter wonderland each year is his own.

Garza was charged with robbery and possession of stolen property.
SECURITY BEEFED UP IN NYC HOLIDAY MARKETS AFTER TRUCK INCIDENT IN BERLIN
The NYPD has stepped up security at high profile outdoor Christmas markets throughout New York City following 12 people being killed when a truck driver plowed through a Christmas market in Berlin.
There's no specific threat in NYC stemming from the incident in Germany, but as a precaution, the NYPD is moving heavily armed Critical Response Command officers toward these displays. Locations for the Christmas markets include Union Square, Columbus Circle and Bryant Park, as well as several others across the city.
Meanwhile, police are searching for a Tunisian man identified as Anis Amri who has multiple aliases, according to the Guardian.
The suspect's identity papers were found inside the truck used in Monday's attack, which left, along with those fatally injured, 48 others with injuries, CNN reported. ISIS has already claimed it inspired the attack.
WOMAN ARRESTED FOR PHONE THEFT AFTER PHOTO OF HER SHOWS UP ON VICTIM'S ICLOUD ACCOUNT
Police arrested 27-year-old Nina Roman for possession of stolen property last Tuesday at 4:58 p.m. inside A.I. Friedman at 44 West 18th Street. The victim told police that she went into the art supply store on December 10 around 4:30 p.m., where Roman works. The victim said that she put her phone down on a shelf inside the store and when she turned back to it, the phone was missing. Around 10:45 p.m. that night, she noticed that her phone pinged to Hart Street between Throop and Tompkins Avenues in Brooklyn. There was also allegedly a photo of Roman on the victim's phone, which the victim saw because it uploaded to her iCloud and the phone is synced to the iCloud account.

Garland Jeffreys crowd-funding new album

Stuyvesant Town rock singer Garland Jeffreys has been keeping busy lately.
The veteran musician, now 73, was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in November.
Additionally, his early hit song "Wild in the Streets" was recently featured in the Netflix original series "The Get Down" and was also included on the official RCA soundtrack for the show.
Then, last Tuesday, Jeffreys launched a PledgeMusic crowd-funding campaign aimed at producing a new album and a documentary about his career.
The doc features Harvey Keitel, Laurie Anderson and Graham Parker, all singing the Brooklyn-born crooner's praises. The album is expected to be released sometime in the spring.
Finally, in keeping with what has become an annual tradition, Jeffreys will be performing at Joe's Pub at 7 p.m. on New Year's Eve. His 20-year-old daughter Savanna, who's also a musician, will open the set with some of her own songs and the father and daughter will also perform a duet.
Reached at home, Jeffreys spoke with Town & Village about the aforementioned projects and a European tour planned for 2017.

Norman, Okla., underpass project cost will increase
Design changes being mandated by a railroad company will increase the cost of building an underpass at the Robinson Street crossing in Norman, Okla., by about $1.4 million, city officials say, according to The Oklahoman. Public Works Director Shawn O'Leary said the city hopes to use stimulus money to cover most of the increased cost of the now $26 million project.
The last-minute
modifications in design from BNSF are for a temporary track called a "shoofly"
that will be built so trains can continue to run while the underpass is being
built, O'Leary said. The modifications will allow trains to travel 55 mph
through the construction zone rather than the 40 mph originally agreed upon. The
railroad company also is requiring construction of a second main line track
that won't be used until well into the future, O'Leary said.
O'Leary and City Manager Steve
Lewis said they traveled
to Kansas City, Mo., for a meeting with railroad officials to
protest the design changes.
"It didn't go well.
They were very clear (about the changes) and that the cost was to be born by
the city," O'Leary said. The railroad is "the big dog in this. They're not
regulated by other agencies. They're the contractors on this project. They do
the work, and the city gets the bill."
The underpass project has
been on schedule until now, O'Leary said. However, the design modifications
will delay completion of the project by three months.
Voters approved a $10-million
bond issue in March of 2005. That money is being matched by federal money.
Additional money is coming from the state Transportation Department and is
being administered by the Association of
Central Oklahoma Governments. The city also has applied for $1.4 million in federal stimulus money
to help pay for the underpass.
Construction is expected to
begin by June or July and take about 18 months to complete, O'Leary said.

Spam is junk email. While there are several generally compatible definitions of "spam," spam is defined by the SpamAssassin project as Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE). Email that is not spam is often called Ham. Another definition, Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) is not used by the SpamAssassin project because some spam is clearly not commercial and some unsolicited mail which is not bulk is (often) actually wanted.
The Origin Of The Name "Spam"
The term "spam" comes from the Monty Python sketch where the name of the canned meat product is used so often that it crowds everything else out. In the 1970s, British comedy troupe Monty Python did a sketch involving Spam. The diner menu, as recited by a waitress (Terry Jones in drag), consisted of "egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and Spam; egg bacon and Spam; egg bacon sausage and Spam; Spam bacon sausage and Spam; Spam egg Spam Spam bacon and Spam; Spam sausage Spam Spam bacon Spam tomato and Spam; Spam Spam Spam egg and Spam; Spam Spam Spam Spam Spam Spam baked beans Spam Spam Spam; etc." All the while, Spam-loving Vikings in the background sing its praises.
The first UBE is quite old, with the earliest surviving example being sent 3 May 1978 by a marketer for DEC - Digital Equipment Corporation. Read more in an article about the first UBEs.
But prior to 1993, email was used mostly in academic circles, UBE minimally affected people, and the term was "spam" had nothing to do with email. Spam was mentioned occasionally in computer circles as a humorous name for a computer. See a detailed history of the word "spam" for UBE.
The term "spam" came into broad use shortly after a famous incident on 12 April 1994. Canter and Siegel unleashed the first mega-spam against Usenet. (Cantor had done local, mini-spams before; he was now going international.) Canter spammed almost 6,000 groups in less than 90 minutes through an Internet Direct account (an Arizona Internet provider). The post was a C&S ad for the U.S. "Green Card lottery" -- a chance for non-Americans to enter a very low-odds US-work-permit raffle. Jeff Wheelhouse, sysadmin for Internet Direct, was soon bombed into oblivion by world-wide complaints. He told the New York Times this caused Internet Direct computers to crash at least 15 times -- "that's when we stopped counting." Canter soon appeared on CNN's Sonya Live. Interestingly, spam was viewed as an innovation by Sonya, who hailed Canter as a Business Pioneer instead of Wanton Vandal. Canter boasted he'd spam again.
By May 1994, the term was entering common parlance, and is discussed in this 1994-05-19 and 1994-05-25 Usenet posting. Another early appearances of spam was and Taford's Investment Opportunities (to 200 newsgroups). Another early term was "mailbombing," which is bombarding someone's email inbox, but that is not a a common term today.

Many self-funded groups have members with insurance coverage outside your policies. This "secondary coverage" can be through a spouse's insurance plan or through Medicare. A secondary plan covers charges incurred after the primary plan's payment has been processed. Though this is a somewhat common setup among employees, it requires a lot of attention from TPAs to process claims correctly and efficiently. Adjudicating claims improperly can lead to non-recoverable funds lining the pockets of your employee's providers.
Despite living in an age of technology, coordination of benefits remains a highly manual process. As a result of this lack of automation, many TPAs rely heavily on the manual work of claims processors. It's not uncommon for administrators to coordinate with the other insurers incorrectly or overlook the secondary coverage altogether. When this happens, you're leaving money on the table that is often difficult to fully recover. Read on to see what you can do to ensure that you're keeping as many of your hard-earned dollars as possible.
Time and money at TPAs.
Coordination of benefits requires a hefty amount of time and resources for TPAs to automate the adjudication process completely and correctly. As a result, the system might not be fully customized at the time of setup to match the benefits exactly for every client and plan they administer.
Assuming that secondary insurance coverage is recognized by the TPA, there are a number of ways this type of benefit can still be misappropriated. Despite notification of other insurance information indicated on the claim received by your TPA, the administrator could be improperly coordinating benefits.
Despite the written procedures that are usually in place, adjudication inconsistencies in the claims process happen frequently. During a recent audit, CTI found 4 out of 110 claims — over 3.5% — that included other insurance information on the claim form that wasn't taken into consideration when it was processed and the payment made. This resulted in a $15,000 overpayment of benefits during this particular audit due to incorrect coordination of benefits.
When your administrator is not proactively investigating and pursuing other insurance information, and claims are being paid without taking it into consideration, incorrect payments result for self-funded groups. While a provider may return the overpayment if the error is caught, a credit balance will often remain on the their books, barring a credit balance recovery audit firm identifying the error and returning the money to the TPA. Even if the error is caught, however, your company will rarely recover the full amount of overpayment because of the commission fees charged by the auditing firm before the amount is returned to the TPA.
Every employer should perform an audit on their self-funded benefit package with incorrect coordination of benefits in mind. Only a comprehensive auditing process with an experienced firm will recognize this type of error, and implementing continuous quality improvement services will help you fix the problem to make sure it's coordinated correctly in the future. It's no secret that every administrator incorrectly coordinates benefits to a certain degree. The question is, "How much of your money is sitting in your provider's credit balance?"
It's a fact...every administrator makes mistakes. The five basic errors with which we find significant discrepancies discussed in this series will include: plan limitations, duplicate payments, exclusions, incorrect coordination of benefits and incorrect copayments. Be sure to check back for next week's blog on incorrect copayments to see how you can stop the leaks.

However, if you are the sort of gamer that likes "goodies" you might want to consider holding out for that announcement.
Tyson took shots at major video game developer Nintendo in a Tweet on April 4, claiming that the company had already begun production on a new "Punch Out" game without notifying him. Mac works his way up a ladder of increasingly tough enemies culminating in a battle with the titleholder Mr. Dream.
Tyson was involved with the original release of Punch-Out! back on the NES when it was still called Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! Ultimate, a new installment for Punch-Out! hasn't come about since the 2009 release on the Nintendo Wii.
Star Soldier is Hudson Soft's vertical Shoot-Em-Up. Your mission: to stop Starbrain's galactic invasion by piloting Caesar, a new compact space fighter, through 16 deadly stages.
Punch-Out! Featuring Mr. Dream was originally released as Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! in 1987, but re-released without the Tyson branding in 1990 after Nintendo's license expired. This tech is being utilised in Fortnite to offer in-game chat without the need for Nintendo's mobile application, and Vivox has made the SDK available to other developers to include direct in-game chat in their games too.
