People who already have HIV when they become infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) appear to have reduced production of cytokines including natural interferons active against HCV, according to a study described in the November 15, 2012, Journal of Infectious Diseases.
Near-perfect adherence to pegylated interferon plus ribavirin offers the best chance of sustained virological response -- or a cure -- for HIV positive people coinfected with hepatitis C virus (HCV), according to a U.S. veterans study described in the August 21, 2012, advance online edition of AIDS and Behavior.
Approximately 6% of people with HIV receiving antiretroviral treatment in Tanzania were coinfected with hepatitis B virus (HBV), which was associated with an elevated risk of death, smaller CD4 T-cell gains, and greater likelihood of liver toxicity, researchers reported at the recent XIX International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012) in Washington, DC.
Treatment with tenofovir (Viread) led to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) clearance -- considered the closest outcome to a cure -- in 8% of HIV positive patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) coinfection, and in a subgroup clearance was associated with CD4 T-cell count, Dutch researchers reported in the September 15, 2012, Journal of Infectious Diseases.
The HIV integrase inhibitor raltegravir (Isentress) was well-tolerated and demonstrated continued effectiveness for 5 years in treatment-naive and 3 years in treatment-experienced HIV patients coinfected with hepatitis B or C, according to a poster presentation at the 52nd Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) last week in San Francisco.
Competition between hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) in HIV positive people with triple infection appears to promote spontaneous HCV clearance, but lower CD4 T-cell counts and greater liver inflammation reduce the likelihood of clearance, Chinese researchers reported at the XIX International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012) last month in Washington, DC.

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence Provides Positive Guidance for Use of Boston Scientific GreenLight XPS™ Laser Therapy System in the Treatment of BPH
Studies show that treatment is less costly and has lower hospital re-admissions
Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) today announced that its GreenLight XPS™ Laser Therapy System, used for the treatment of prostatic enlargement, known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), received positive guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). NICE provides evidenced-based guidance, advice and standards for the National Health Service (NHS) in England in order to improve outcomes for patients.
In its evaluation, NICE concluded that the adoption of the GreenLight XPS Laser Therapy System to treat non high-risk patients with BPH can significantly reduce costs for the NHS. NICE estimates that broad adoption of the Greenlight XPS Laser System over the current traditional surgical treatment, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), could result in savings of around £2.3 million and possibly up to £3.2 million annually for the NHS as the GreenLight XPS System therapy is typically done on an outpatient day-case basis. The British Association for Day Case Surgery (BADS 2013) has recommended that within the next five years, more than 90 percent of urological surgery should be done as day-case procedures.
"The GreenLight XPS System is a well-established treatment to help men with BPH," said Mr. Gordon Muir, consultant urological surgeon, King's College Hospital, London, England. "It is suitable for almost all men, even those who may not be deemed fit for conventional surgery. The positive guidance from NICE will give more men access to the GreenLight XPS System and may allow surgeons to treat patients on an outpatient basis, with excellent outcomes and with fewer complications."
The NICE evaluation team examined information submitted by the company along with independently sourced clinical studies including the GOLIATH study, a randomized prospective trial of 291 patients conducted in nine European countries that compared the GreenLight XPS System to TURP. This study demonstrated that the laser therapy has fewer initial serious post-procedure complications, with lower hospital re-admissions and outcomes that are equally effective as the current standard surgical treatment 1,2.
"Using technology to improve care and lower health care costs directly benefits patients, hospitals and providers," said Michael Phalen, executive vice president and president, MedSurg, Boston Scientific. "NICE is internationally recognized for its evidence-based review process and this guidance demonstrates the importance of continually evaluating how we can make improvements in caring for patients."
More than 110 million men worldwide are diagnosed with BPH, an enlargement of the prostate that occurs naturally with age and is one of the most common diseases among aging men3. It affects 50 percent of men between the ages of 51 and 60 and 90 percent of men over the age of 804. BPH causes a number of symptoms and, if untreated, can result in infections, renal failure and kidney stones4,5. A variety of treatment options are used to treat BPH including medication, surgery and laser therapy.

Q: How to run a class from Jar which is not the Main-Class in its Manifest file I have a JAR with 4 classes, each one has Main method. I want to be able to run each one of those as per the need. I am trying to run it from command-line on Linux box.
E.g. The name of my JAR is MyJar.jar

It has directory structure for the main classes as follows:
com/mycomp/myproj/dir1/MainClass1.class
com/mycomp/myproj/dir2/MainClass2.class
com/mycomp/myproj/dir3/MainClass3.class
com/mycomp/myproj/dir4/MainClass4.class

I know that I can specify one class as main in my Manifest file. But is there any way by which I can specify some argument on command line to run whichever class I wish to run?
I tried this:
jar cfe MyJar.jar com.mycomp.myproj.dir2.MainClass2 com/mycomp/myproj/dir2/MainClass2.class /home/myhome/datasource.properties /home/myhome/input.txt

And I got this error:
com/mycomp/myproj/dir2/MainClass2.class : no such file or directory

(In the above command, '/home/myhome/datasource.properties' and '/home/myhome/input.txt' are the command line arguments).

A: This answer is for Spring-boot users:
If your JAR was from a Spring-boot project and created using the command mvn package spring-boot:repackage, the above "-cp" method won't work. You will get:

Error: Could not find or load main class your.alternative.class.path

even if you can see the class in the JAR by jar tvf yours.jar.
In this case, run your alternative class by the following command:
java -cp yours.jar -Dloader.main=your.alternative.class.path org.springframework.boot.loader.PropertiesLauncher

As I understood, the Spring-boot's org.springframework.boot.loader.PropertiesLauncher class serves as a dispatching entrance class, and the -Dloader.main parameter tells it what to run.
Reference: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/20404

A: Another similar option that I think Nick briefly alluded to in the comments is to create multiple wrapper jars. I haven't tried it, but I think they could be completely empty other than the manifest file, which should specify the main class to load as well as the inclusion of the MyJar.jar to the classpath.
MyJar1.jar\META-INF\MANIFEST.MF
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: com.mycomp.myproj.dir1.MainClass1
Class-Path: MyJar.jar

MyJar2.jar\META-INF\MANIFEST.MF
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: com.mycomp.myproj.dir2.MainClass2
Class-Path: MyJar.jar

etc.
Then just run it with java -jar MyJar2.jar

A: You can create your jar without Main-Class in its Manifest file. Then :
java -cp MyJar.jar com.mycomp.myproj.dir2.MainClass2 /home/myhome/datasource.properties /home/myhome/input.txt

A: Apart from calling java -jar myjar.jar com.mycompany.Myclass, you can also make the main class in your Manifest a Dispatcher class.
Example:
public class Dispatcher{

    private static final Map<String, Class<?>> ENTRY_POINTS =
        new HashMap<String, Class<?>>();
    static{
        ENTRY_POINTS.put("foo", Foo.class);
        ENTRY_POINTS.put("bar", Bar.class);
        ENTRY_POINTS.put("baz", Baz.class);
    }

    public static void main(final String[] args) throws Exception{

        if(args.length < 1){
            // throw exception, not enough args
        }
        final Class<?> entryPoint = ENTRY_POINTS.get(args[0]);
        if(entryPoint==null){
            // throw exception, entry point doesn't exist
        }
        final String[] argsCopy =
            args.length > 1
                ? Arrays.copyOfRange(args, 1, args.length)
                : new String[0];
        entryPoint.getMethod("main", String[].class).invoke(null,
            (Object) argsCopy);

    }
}

A: You can execute any class which has a public static void main method from a JAR file, even if the jar file has a Main-Class defined.
Execute Main-Class:
java -jar MyJar.jar  // will execute the Main-Class

Execute another class with a public static void main method:
java -cp MyJar.jar com.mycomp.myproj.AnotherClassWithMainMethod

Note: the first uses -jar, the second uses -cp.

A: First of all jar creates a jar, and does not run it. Try java -jar instead.
Second, why do you pass the class twice, as FQCN (com.mycomp.myproj.dir2.MainClass2) and as file (com/mycomp/myproj/dir2/MainClass2.class)?
Edit:
It seems as if java -jar requires a main class to be specified. You could try java -cp your.jar com.mycomp.myproj.dir2.MainClass2 ... instead. -cp sets the jar on the classpath and enables java to look up the main class there.

From direct psychotherapy to crisis intervention to advocating for environmental change, mental health careers offer a variety of rewarding paths to help those in need. Today, there are over 649,300 social workers and over 168,200 mental health counselors, with both jobs expected to grow at faster rates than average.
Understanding the similarities and differences between mental health counseling and social work is critical for prospective students making the best-informed decision for their career path.
To become a mental health counselor, professionals must obtain an advanced graduate degree (Master or Doctoral) in mental health counseling or a related equivalent, such as Marriage and Family Therapy.
While many professionals have college undergraduate degrees in psychology, this background is not always required. In fact, becoming a clinician later in life or as a second career has become increasingly more common, with studies highlighting that 22% of mental health counseling doctoral students were between ages 35 and 44, and 12% were aged 45 to 59.
Students should consider school accreditations, such as the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) in their application processes, as these may increase employment opportunities after graduation.
All mental health counseling students must also engage in professional practice, which includes extensive practicum and internship experience under licensed supervision. These experiences provide students with the opportunity to apply theory and begin initial stages of performing therapy and clinical services.
Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) are professionals with graduate degrees. While many individuals have undergraduate degrees in social work or a related major, it is not a requirement for entering a graduate program.
Working professionals with an undergraduate degree in social work (BSW) can provide entry-level human service assistance (i.e: as caseworkers or mental health assistants). This can provide a valuable foundation for gaining practical experience and learning about the field. With that said, however, they cannot provide direct clinical services.
An LCSW must attend an approved master's of social work (MSW) program, complete all required coursework and necessary supervised clinical hours (typically between 2-3 years), and successfully pass all state board exams.
Each state has its own standards, curriculum, and criteria for licensure. Students should consider school accreditations, such as the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) in their application processes, as these may increase employment opportunities after graduation.

Licensure or Certification
Mental health counselor licensure varies by state. However, the typical pathway towards licensure includes:
Graduating with a Master's or Doctoral degree in mental health counseling
Completing necessary practicum and internship hours (ranging from 2000-4000 hours)
Providing accurate documentation of meeting all requirements
Passing required state-board exams
Maintaining active status through continuing education units
Licensure requirements for social workers also vary by state. Typical pathways towards licensure includes:
Graduating with an advanced degree from an MSW program
Completing all necessary supervised fieldwork and practicum hours (1500-4000 hours)
Successfully passing all state-board examinations
Role and Approaches to Mental Health
Mental health counselors provide clinical support and guidance for people challenged with mental and emotional disorders, interpersonal dynamics and other concerns that result from stressors. Through active listening and open discussion, they work with clients to facilitate positive change within their lives.
Typical job duties include:
Assessing, diagnosing and coordinating appropriate care for mental health disorders
Creating effective treatment plans to facilitate client growth

Mental health counselors utilize a variety of interventions and techniques to help their clients. Common theories include:
Cognitive Behavioral
Solution-Focused
Humanistic-Existential
Social work theories provide a framework for understanding and intervening as a social worker. Essentially, they serve as a "roadmap" for interpreting issues and subsequently working through them.

What is the difference between a mental health counselor and a social worker?
Undoubtedly, the mental health counselor and social worker share similar job descriptions. Both professions provide a variety of psychotherapy and clinical services. Both require advanced education and supervised practicum/internship experience.
On average, mental health counselors and social workers make comparable salaries ($44,170 for Mental Health Counselors and $46,890 for Social Workers). Furthermore, these two mental health professions have higher-than-average expected job growth over the next decade (19% growth for mental health counselors and 12% growth for social workers).
With that said, it is critical to understand the major differences between the two in order to make the best decision for your future career path.
In a nutshell, mental health counselors focus on helping people understand their emotions, develop positive coping strategies and adapt to their environments. Counselor work is centered on providing support, compassion and change within the therapy environment. They focus less on changing the client's external environment and focus more on increasing adaptation of the situation and/or providing referrals for community services when appropriate.
Social workers, in addition to therapy emotional support, do focus on ways to change the environment to best adapt to their clients. Rather than refer to other services, they often engage in wraparound advocacy, utilizing community resources and providing comprehensive case management. In addition to improving client emotional status, they seek to improve overall life functioning through providing a wide range of outside social supports.

Considerable heterogeneity exists among the 3 main types of stroke — incident subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, and ischemic stroke — and their associated risk factors, including diabetes mellitus, smoking, and adiposity, according to the results of a large prospective study and meta-analysis published in Neurology.
The investigators sought to compare the association between behavioral and related factors for the development of the 3 main pathologic types of stroke. A total of 712,433 participants from the Million Women Study who had no prior history of stroke, heart disease, or cancer reported their behavioral and related factors at baseline and were followed up via the use of national hospital admission and death databases. Mean patient age at baseline was 59.8±4.9. Cox regression models were used to estimate relative risks (RRs) and their 95% CIs based on type of stroke.
After 12.9±2.6 years of follow-up, 8128 women experienced an incident ischemic stroke, 2031 sustained an intracerebral hemorrhage, and 1536 had a subarachnoid hemorrhage. In women with diabetes, the risk for ischemic stroke was increased substantially (RR 2.01; 95% CI, 1.84-2.20), the risk for intracerebral hemorrhage was increased slightly (RR 1.31; 95% CI, 1.04-1.65), but the risk for subarachnoid hemorrhage was reduced (RR 0.43; 95% CI, 0.26-0.69; test for heterogeneity by stroke type, P <.0001).
In women who reported a history of hypertension that required treatment, an increased risk for each type of stroke was reported: ischemic stroke (RR 1.70; 95% CI, 1.62-1.79), intracerebral hemorrhage (RR 1.46; 95% CI, 1.32-1.61), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (RR 1.18; 95% CI, 1.04-1.34), with significant heterogeneity according to type of stroke (P <.0001).
Stroke occurred significantly more often in women who rated their health as poor or fair compared with women who rated their health as excellent or good (RR 1.36; 95% CI, 1.30-1.42). Of a total of 565,850 women who rated their health as excellent or good, current smokers had an increased risk for experiencing all 3 types of stroke, which was greater for subarachnoid hemorrhage (≥15 cigarettes per day vs never-smokers; RR 4.75; 95% CI, 4.12-5.47) than for intracerebral hemorrhage (RR 2.30; 95% CI, 1.94-2.72) or ischemic stroke (RR 2.50; 95% CI, 2.29-2.72), with heterogeneity across stroke types (P <.0001).
Obesity was associated with a significantly increased risk for ischemic stroke and a significantly decreased risk for hemorrhagic stroke (heterogeneity, P <.0001). These associations and the heterogeneity were all confirmed by meta-analyses across the 3 types of stroke.
The investigators concluded that the classic risk factors for stroke have different effects on the 3 main types of stroke, therefore confirming that the 3 main pathologic types of stroke have substantially different etiologies.

A rare public spat between Washington and Israeli in recent days has revealed much about the essential political relationship between the two.
The row began when Israeli minister for military affairs Moshe Ya'alon spoke to local media with vitriolic contempt about America's top diplomat, John Kerry.
Kerry had only days before been in the Middle East on yet another visit to push the so-called Israeli-Palestinian peace process along. The US secretary of state has flown to Israel on at least five occasions over as many months since he made a big show of kick-starting "final status" negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians last year.

Thanks Mat, all precious infos!
I'm Adobe customer (photographer plan) before this free offer.
After having received my code I contacted via chat the Adobe customer care to understand how to use the code AND at the same time save the same cloud space. The answer was to activate the code immediately and the cloud space would be remain the same. I was doubtful about this and, in fact, instead of free year photographer plan subscription I gained two subscription plans... one is one year free for contributors with 20 Gb cloud space, other is the payed plan with 1Tb cloud space.
Finally: now I've activated my free yearly plan but I necessarily had to close the 1TB cloud space; this involved a lot of work for to empty cloud, and move files to other places, and, bad for Adobe, I'll be no more 1Tb cloud space subscriber... not for my choice, but for strange cross of different offers.
I know it's difficult for big company to trace every single situation ;-) but just to let you know, Adobe gave me a great gift (thanks!) and at the same time had forced me to close the extra payed plan. Also the kind guy at the chat told me "I'm sorry I can't do more than this for you, I can only close the payed plan without penalty"
So for all of you that don't have a standard plan on Adobe take carefully when activate your free plan.
I know, as I read on FAQ, that any subscription planes different than standard ones should be taken at the end before activating the free one, but maybe this is not really clear, also on Adobe customer care side!
I was wondering why I haven't received my code in spite of meeting all the conditions.
After reading the official rules I figured out I come from a wrong country. For what ever reason, my country Slovakia is not included on the long list of eligible countries. Any idea why a European Union country is excluded from the giveaway?
And why is Adobe sending the offer to countries that are not eligible to take the offer anyway?
Hmm. Im sure i had over 300 approved this year before Aug 3rd (definitely do now) and acceptance rate is 95%+ or more.
Is then any easy way to count number of accepted videos this year other than going through the "date uploaded" manually and counting up to that point?
I got the LR/PS code email but i havent had another one so i doubt its in spam.
Jo Ann, Could I ask you if you've now received your code? I am in the same position - have now had uploads approved but so far no code has been sent.
Sep 19 - just to note that I haven't forgotten to post, but I haven't yet received a code. I'm hoping the next batch, whenever it goes out.
Had the code but wont be using it! Should be a way I can pass it on to someone who could make use of it.
I was also wondering why I didn't get my code a few weeks back, so I emailed Adobe on their support page about the question.
Someone got back to me a few days later. They said that I had passed the 300 accepted level, but that my acceptance rate at the start of the year was under 50%. I had never read about 50% acceptance rate being part of the criteria??
At any rate, she said that my submissions this year have brought my rate above 50% (I had uploaded a ton of editorial images early on, before I realized they did not accept them, which brought my early rate way down). I should expect my coupon soon.
My code arrived 2 days ago.
Unfortunately id already activated the lr/ps one last week so im going to lose that.
Thanks Jo Ann, that would be useful.
I live in Poland and my earnings on Fotolia site are shown only in Credits, and my earnings on Adobe site are shown only in Polish PLN. I couldn't find a way to view from Poland my earnings in US dollars. So my question is: How many Fotolia credits equals $500?. I have earned 470 credits this year so far, so if 1 Fotolia credit = 1 USD, I hope to qualify soon. But please confirm.
1 Fotolia credit = $1 for the promotion. You are almost there.
This morning Adobe announced that in an effort to reduce production costs and take your post-production work to the next level, active Adobe Stock Contributors will be receiving a free year of the Creative Cloud Photography plan which includes Photoshop CC, Lightroom CC and other Adobe apps.
To qualify you need to one of the first 20,000 contributors to have 300 files approved or have $500 in earnings since January 1, 2018 with a 50% or higher approval ratio to receive a CCP member.
The first 2,000 video contributors to have 300 videos approved or with $500 in earnings on video sales with a 50% or higher approval ratio will receive a one year full Creative Cloud membership.
If you have already qualified then no action is needed on your part. In the next 6-8 weeks you will receive a code via email. If you haven't met the criteria yet...get out and start shooting and submitting!
An faq has been created to answer most questions. If you have any other questions please let me know.
While grateful for this offer. Some of us are still nervous who qualified on the day of the announcement but haven't received our codes yet.
I've just contacted Adobe - they said wait another 3 or 4 weeks.
The most recent set of codes were sent out this past Saturday by CompEXT. I don't have the list of qualified contributors in my possession at this time for confirmations but I should soon.
I'm at €494 as of august 24th. Surely that's more than $500?
At first Adobe Stock support told me I didn't meet the criteria, that I was at $494. I replied that it was €494. Then they told me to wait for the next batch of codes.
Now I'm not convinced that the automated system takes into account the difference between € and $.
If you don't have 300 files approved this year then you will need to earn €500 before you qualify. Sorry for any confusion.
Hi Mat, everywhere I look it says $500 not €500. I'll probably get to €500 eventually but I'm worried that the codes run out before that.
In an earlier post you wrote that 1 Fotolia credit = $1 for the promotion. So it is 500 credits, and not €500?
BTW, I just passed the 300 approved files mark today.
Yes, my mistake. I apologize for the confusion on currency and earnings requirements. Congrats on the 300 approved file milestone.
I activated my LR/PS free code about 3 weeks ago before realising i'd also qualified for the full CC package.
Is there any way to transfer this 3 week old code to another adobe CC account (a relatives)?
Just out of curiosity, are there any free codes left? I just passed the 300 video uploads mark, but also passed the $500,- mark three weeks ago.
I'm pretty sure that once redeemed, you cannot transfer a CC code. Contact customer service through Adobe.com however as they will have a more definitive answer for you.
Yes, there are still codes available.
Just found my code I received in mid-August in my emails and registered the code on Adobe CC site. Thanks Adobe. This is a good move by them.
Wondering the same thing! We earned the photo code back in the first round but just qualified for the whole package and are hoping we did so in time as it's such a nice bonus.

NEPA Coordination Process Justified for Avista Sale
Published on September 30, 2018 September 30, 2018 by Rob Chase, Spokane County Treasurer
In a July 30 letter to me, the Washington Public Utility and Transportation commission's executive director, Mark Johnson, said the proposed sale doesn't involve federal lands or federal projects. The sale review isn't subject to the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, the National Environmental Policy Act or state environmental reviews, he said.
"The coordination process that you reference is not part of this proceeding," Johnson wrote in the letter. Following is my letter to him in response to his declaration:

Dear Mr. Johnson,
I only became aware of this correspondence last Friday September 14th. One of the County Commissioners echoed your contention that "Coordination" under NEPA did not apply to this situation. I could not find your email in my Inbox, Junk, or Clutter. I then called the WUTC and they then sent me the email below addressed to me on July 30.
I disagree with your argument that the National Environmental Policy Act of 1970 does not apply to the acquisition of Avista by Hydro One.
The sale of Avista involves a foreign entity, and the Columbia River and its tributaries is where Avista serves much of its hydro-electric power, and those waterways are under Federal jurisdiction.
NEPA applies where a process
Involves work performed by the Federal Government
IS Funded by Federal Funds, in whole or part
IS OR may be licensed or permitted by a Federal Agency
Under Title 42 USC Section 4331(a) & (b):
(a) The Congress, recognizing the profound impact of man's activity on the interrelations of all components of the natural environment,… to use all practicable means and measures, including financial and technical assistance, in a manner calculated to foster and promote the general welfare, to create and maintain conditions under which man and nature can exist in productive harmony, and fulfill the social, economic, and other requirements of present and future generations of Americans.
(b) In order to carry out the policy set forth in this chapter, it is the continuing responsibility of the Federal Government to use all practicable means, consistent with other essential considerations of national policy, to improve and coordinate Federal plans, functions, programs, and resources to the end that the Nation may—
So, by Federal Law:
Government policy is to cooperate with State and Local Governments for coordination of Plans, Functions, Programs, Actions and Resources. In a manner of serving the general welfare and to reach a harmonies relationship between man and nature. And has a continuous responsibility to use all practicable means to the fullest extent possible to effect the policy of COORDINATION!
42 U.S. Code § 4332 – Cooperation of agencies; reports; availability of information; recommendations; international and national coordination of efforts. "The Congress authorizes and directs that, to the fullest extent possible:
(1) the policies, regulations, and public laws of the United States shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with the policies set forth in this chapter … So, by Federal Law Government policy is to cooperate with State and Local Governments for coordination of Plans, Functions, Programs, Actions and Resources.
In a manner of serving the general welfare and to reach a harmonious relationship between man and nature
And has a continuous responsibility to use all practicable means to the fullest extent possible to effect the policy of COORDINATION!
42 U.S. Code § 4333 – Conformity of administrative procedures to national environmental policy
All agencies of the Federal Government shall review their present statutory authority, administrative regulations, and current policies and procedures for the purpose of determining whether there are any deficiencies or inconsistencies therein which prohibit full compliance with the purposes and provisions of this chapter and shall propose to the President not later than July 1, 1971, such measures as may be necessary to bring their authority and policies into conformity with the intent, purposes, and procedures set forth in this chapter.
40 Code of Federal Regulations 1500.2 Policy: Federal agencies SHALL, to the fullest extent possible,
(d) "Encourage and facilitate public involvement in decisions which affect the quality of the human environment."
(e) "Use the NEPA process to identify and assess the reasonable alternatives to proposed actions that will avoid or minimize adverse effects of the actions upon the quality of the human environment."
Human environment:
Is defined as an environment which includes:
Ecological, Aesthetic, Historic, Cultural, Economic, Social, and Health elements of life in the community.
1500.1 Purpose: "The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is our basic national charter for protection of the environment. It establishes policy, sets goals (section 101), and provides means (section 102) for carrying out the policy.
Section 102(2) contains "ACTION FORCING provisions to make sure that federal agencies act according to the letter and spirit of the Act.
The regulations that follow implement section 102(2). Their purpose is to tell federal agencies what they must do to comply with the procedures and achieve the goals of the Act. The President, the federal agencies, and the courts share responsibility for enforcing the Act so as to achieve the substantive requirements of section 101."
Specific Federal Agency Regulations
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
On December 26, 2006 the FERC issued a Final Rule (Order 687) and regulations establishing the process by which the FERC will exercise its new responsibilities under section 313 of EPAct 2005. We note that nothing in EPAct 2005 or the Commission's regulations preempt existing agency timelines mandated by federal law or regulation. Specifically, the FERC is now required to:
Act as the lead agency for purposes of complying with the National Environmental Policy Act;
DOE adopts the regulations for implementing NEPA published by CEQ at 40 CFR parts 1500 through 1508.
§200.552 NEPA planning.
Where it is reasonably foreseeable by the Commission that it may be required to act on a matter specified in §200.551 and that matter is likely to involve major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment, the Commission shall:
(a) Advise the relevant persons as to information respecting the environment, if any, which may later be required to be submitted for Commission consideration should Commission action become necessary;
(b) Consult on any environmental factors involved with individuals, organizations, and state and local authorities interested in the planned action; and
(c) Begin implementing the procedures set forth in §§200.553 and 200.554 as soon as possible, Provided, That such procedures are not inconsistent with the Commission's authority under the Federal securities laws.
As you can see by the preceding I am simply following Federal Law by invoking coordination in the matter of the Hydro One purchase of Avista.
I am Spokane County Treasurer where Avista is headquartered and whose residents are largely served by Avista.
The outreach to local elected officials has been wanting since I know of very few elected officials who are aware of the ramifications to their constituents if the merger takes place.
If electrical rates climb as they have in Ontario this would create a huge hardship on residents and businesses in the area. This would have a negative effect on our local economy and tax base. We can only speculate on future rates since there has been no Cost Sharing Agreement published.
I believe the control of our dams, assets, and rates by a foreign entity is a question of national security.
In light of the preceding I believe I have a fiduciary authority of trust to protect the tax base of Spokane County and I am acting within my duties of Spokane County Treasurer to compel you to Coordinate with me and other Avista Customers and residents of Counties who would be negatively affected by the acquisition of Avista by Hydro One of Ontario.

Mustn't whatever is referred to exist?
Some hold that proper names and indexicals are "Kaplan rigid": they designate their designata even in worlds where the designata don't exist. An argument they give for this is based on the analogy between time and modality. It is shown how this argument gains forcefulness at the expense of carefulness. Then the argument is criticized as forming a part of an inconsistent philosophical framework, the one with which David Kaplan and others operate. An alternative account of a certain class of negative existentials is developed, one which eliminates both the inconsistency and the need for Kaplan rigidity. After all, mustn't whatever is referred to exist?

Victorian apothecary Jem Flockhart sleuths again in Thomson's The Blood (Pegasus Crime, Dec.), her third series outing.
Was there a historical antecedent for Jem Flockhart?
Jem Flockhart is based on James Miranda Barry, a woman who disguised herself as a man on the boat from Ireland to Edinburgh with the knowledge and complicity of her family. She studied medicine at Edinburgh University in the 1810s and spent her life as a doctor in the army. She was only discovered to be a woman when she died. Her real name was Margaret Bulkley.
Why did you make your lead someone who has to hide her gender?
Because I wanted my main character to be a woman, but I also wanted her to be able to go anywhere and say anything. It's very unlikely that a woman would have been allowed into meetings of medical men, or into scientific societies, and a woman would not have been treated equally. So I disguised her, and then sent her everywhere a man might go. It means that Jem can speak up and be listened to, as the men think she's one of them. At the same time, she reflects on what she has to sacrifice by not being a woman—love, family, and so on.
What about this period in British history led you to make it the setting for the series?
I chose the late 1840s and early 1850s because it was a period of such radical change. London was in dire need of modernization; the city was literally drowning in its own sewage. Industrialization had proceeded largely unregulated, with the result that many people sustained terrible injuries linked to their work. How might doctors deal with these things? Often they had little choice but to resort to primitive measures. Medicine was often little more than leeches and laxatives. Surgery was brutal and undertaken without either anesthetic or antiseptic. From the late 1840s, things started to change, first with the use of ether, which changed the types of surgeries that might be undertaken. Surgeons might root about in the abdomen, or poke about at the brain without the patient writhing and screaming. Of course, this meant germs entered, as it was some years before antisepsis, so in fact many more patients died at first, usually of blood poisoning, so surgery remained incredibly risky. It was this state of rapid change and discovery, the falling away of old methods and habits, and the appearance, gradually, of a world that is more familiar to us, that seemed to me to be one of the most dynamic and exciting to write about. It was a fascinating period in history, especially in terms of science and medicine.

IRS Phone Scam: I received a phone voice mail from the IRS this morning (supposedly), informing me about some "deficiency concerning tax fraud." I was instructed to call a Federal Agent at a given number. If I did not, it would be regarded as a denial of a Second Attempt to contact me. I recognized this as phone scam and felt it wise to alert you to phone scams you may receive.
Today's scams come in "all shapes and sizes" and have been perfected to a skilled art. But rather than tell you about each different scam, let me simply tell you HOW THE IRS WILL NEVER CONTACT YOU.
• The IRS will never initiate contact with taxpayers by email, text messages or social media channels to request personal or financial information.
• The IRS will never call to demand immediate payment, nor will the agency call about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill.
• The IRS will never demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe.
• The IRS will never require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card.
• The IRS will never ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone.
• The IRS will never threaten to bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying.
If you receive a phone call like this, immediately hang up.

Due to a change in plans immediately following my return to the US, I needed to change my final destination in my return flight to Madison.
Anyway, not a big deal. I had called United Airlines yesterday to see what it would cost. I was quoted $150 fee plus the difference in the fare cost. Apparently I got a wicked discount on my flight from LA to Indianapolis when I bought the trans-pacific flight. Anyway, taxes and everything, I was quoted a reasonable cost yesterday.
Today I call again to make the purchase, and after a very short waiting period, Ian answers the phone. He seems nice enough. He says he has to check my fare rules before making changes, so I let him put me on hold. The two minutes he claimed turned into 10 minutes, then he came back on and apologized. He said that the fee change was $200 (not $150). Whatever. I asked him how much the flight would cost. Again he puts me on hold for "two minutes." Fifteen minutes he comes back and apologizes for the wait. Apparently a flight to Madison would cost an arm and a leg. I ask how much the total was, since I only pay the fare difference, not the whole thing. He gives me an outrageous number, so I ask for the value of this fare that we are replacing. "I have to check with my service director." He puts me on hold again.
I sat there and fiddled with the phone, getting angry, and I found a timer on the phone. We were 32 minutes into the call. He came back at 35:23 and apologized for the wait. He said my flight was worth $200 (I was quoted $150 yesterday) but all together it would be $416 plus any taxes. So naturally, I asked the magnitude of the taxes. "I have to check with my service director." The nasty refrain.
Strange thoughts started crossing my mind. Perhaps this service director was training him.
SD: "Now push the x button, and then F2. No, F2 not F and 2 at once."
Or maybe the service director was a game of solitaire.
He comes back at 46:12 and apologizes for the wait. He says it would cost $460 with taxes. This whole time his numbers seem rounded, so this is suspicious. I deliberate painfully on the phone with him for a while, trying to understand where the cost came from, then I ask him how much the taxes cost, "if it will take you less than 30 seconds." He mumbles a bit, then I say, "Why don't I just talk to your service director?" He says okay, and puts me back on hold.
At 51:37 he comes back and apologizes for the wait. I growl a bit under my breath. He says that due to the confusion about the rebooking fee ($200 today, $150 yesterday) they could give me the cheaper cost; would I like to buy it? I think for a while and say, "Yes, I would like to purchase this, but first can I talk to your service director? I have a question to ask." He reluctantly says okay and puts me back on hold.
I sit on hold for a while listening to the circus music, anticipating his return saying his boss is busy. Instead, an angry-sounding lady picks up the phone and very quickly introduces herself and states again they would give me the cheaper change fee. I say that's okay, and act pleasant to her. First, I enquire about the phone menu system. The menu was different today -- does she expect this? Perhaps something funny was going on. She says they have been doing menu work. Okay, so I express my concern about yesterday's quote and the SIGNIFICANT cost increase in less than 24 hours. The flight is not for more than a month, so fares should not start climbing so fast.
She asks if I'm flexible about times, and I say "yes, of course, if it's cheaper." So she finds the EXACT SAME FLIGHTS FROM YESTERDAY and quotes me THE EXACT SAME DOLLAR AMOUNTS FROM YESTERDAY including cents. I quickly agree to a 2-hour layover in Chicago to make the change for a reasonable cost including taxes. She was good: efficient and very good at understanding my needs and concerns. Only one thing she lacks: foresight to have taken over my call earlier after Ian came to her four times for help calculating taxes.
I had originally planned to bitch at her about how their operations were too clunky, since a price quote took almost an hour -- but when she came up with a decent price, and I could tell she knew how to run things, I blamed the call on Ian hoping he would choose a new career.
Strange thing: everyone sounded American at the other end of this Australian phone number. Yesterday, everyone (including the automated menu system) sounded Australian. The email confirmation I received later originated from a New Jersey IP address. Maybe the Aussies working for United have Friday off?
a tropical vacation
It's been nearly a week since my vacation finished, but I've got most of the pictures posted online so now I can talk about them.
Brisbane Skyline
RAM came to visit on the 7th of May, and we hung out where I'm living for a little while. Our residence threw a festival called the IFFF (International Food Fun Fair) where the residents from different countries get a chance to cook for everyone. It was pretty cool; there were 25 different countries represented, so we got some time to walk around and graze on the different foods. As concession for free entry, we worked for the India booth for a while (we are both so Indian), but since that booth had a surplus of help, we really did nothing but eat.
The real vacation started the next day when we went flew to Brisbane. I was scheduled to give a talk on the 9th at Queensland University of Technology, so we went a day early for exploring. There didn't seem to be a whole lot in that city, except a river and some gardens. It's not on the ocean, either, so they had to fashion a fake beach for people who like the sand and blue water.
Trinity Beach (one day of sun)
After my talk, catching up with one of RAM's old friends who studies there, and a day walking around Brisbane, we took off for Cairns (pronounced "cans"). For the most part, the weather there sucked. It was VERY windy and rainy and cloudy, except for one day that was very windy and sunny. We stayed on Trinity Beach, which caters mostly to self-contained apartments. We ended up in a family-run apartment building with a kitchen and grill and stuff -- it was nice to be able to cook for ourselves and save a few bucks. The meat we bought from a butcher tasted funny (seasonings), but the rest was great. I must say, the Great Barrier Reef is cool, as is most of the wildlife around northern Queensland.
Here's a synopsis of our stay:
Day 1: It's rainy. Visit downtown Cairns. Shop, that's all there is to do. Ate at a cool italian place where they bring the specials board to your table since there are too many to remember.
Day 2: Still rainy, go to Port Douglas, Daintree River. See a python, crocodiles, koalas, feed a cassowary.
Fish on the reef!
Day 3: Sunny! Very windy. No reef trip yet (too windy), so we go to the beach and then to an aborigine "learning park"-like thing.
Day 4: Rainy again, but last chance for a reef trip so we go. 2 meter swells in the sea, makes most of the people on the boat sick during the 2-hour trip to Michaelmas Cay. Reef is amazing (sunny!), we get a free upgrade to a better trip and free intro SCUBA dive because we pre-booked and nobody really wanted to go. Good food on the trip. I love motion sick pills.
Day 5: Check out of the apartment, go to Cairns and shop some more.
Then we flew back for some time in Wollongong and Sydney. More about that later.

Encrypting VoIP Calls
Encryption is good, or so we all believe, but it is not the complete fix for electronic wiretaps.
Zfone Encrypts VoIP Calls
Felton says: "Phil Zimmerman, who created the PGP encryption software, and faced a government investigation as a result, now offers a new program, Zfone, that provides end-to-end encryption of computer-to-computer (VoIP) phone calls, according to a story in yesterday's New York Times. "
The article continues by discussing how the encryption scheme exchanges a secret key: using vocal communications. Felton raises an interesting point: encryption does nothing if spyware is installed on one of the computers -- the conversation could still be archived unencrypted without knowledge of the key.
oz update
Lets see, what's going on in my life...
Research, research, research.
RAM is coming to visit in two days! I'm so excited. We are going to visit the great barrier reef and spend some time on the beach. Sydney is on the agenda, and we plan to see a show of some sort at the Sydney Opera House.
I found an Italian barber today and got a great haircut. The old Italian guys (especially guys like this who have been chopping hair for 40 years) have the best technique. They whittle away at your head using only scissors. Makes for a great haircut.
I spent a little time training with a Chinese guy -- he was teaching me the art of ping-pong. I still suck, but I suck less.
I've been trying to re-learn piano. It's not working, since I never learned it in the first place.
Sunday is the International Food and Fun Fair at my residence. Groups cook different foods from different countries, and perhaps perform some cultural things. I've been recruited to help cook food for Indian and Spain (I don't know why). Hopefully, the Spanish and Indian people will tell me how to cook stuff.
tonga in trouble
An earthquake hit Tonga today, causing a tsunami warning -- though it turned out to be unnecessary. Apparently they have earthquakes frequently there (due to it's proximity to a fault) but it's still scary. Some friends of mine were in Tonga just a few weeks ago.
Mary Fonua says:
I was holding onto the bookcase and in fact, I'm standing in a pile of books now that have fallen on the floor. My son saved the X-Box but other things, you know, were falling off and we could hear the glasses breaking and the crockery shattering and the glasses singing, yes, it was quite an event.
I like to see her boy has his priorities straight.


When you think of QVC, the online retailer, you probably think of being awake at 4 AM, mindlessly watching infomercials and kinda sorta wondering if maybe you do really need that collection of Precious Moments figurines. But somehow, when none of us were looking, QVC leveled up in a major way. A few years ago, the brand decided that it needed to appeal to people outside insomniacs and shut-ins, and totally revamped their products and, most importantly, their vetting process.
That's putting it lightly. Kalle said that it took upwards of a year to get NIGHT pillows on the air, mostly because the QVC team insisted upon making sure that every claim the pillows made was absolutely legit.
And if you thought that the perma-perky hosts got off any easier, think again.
Promise: Track your skin's data, from hydration to wrinkles, to figure out which products are actually working.
Promise: Nix stray hairs and create healthier curls and waves.
Promise: Deep clean up to 18 makeup brushes without damaging the bristles thanks to patented technology.
Promise: Keep cold drinks cold for 24 hours and hot drinks hot for 12 hours.
Promise: Plump up lips without irritation thanks to a unique peptide and hyaluronic acid booster free of parabens, sulfates and phthalates.
True, none of these products are reinventing the wheel necessarily, but that's kind of the point: there are a billion curling irons or cooler cups, so it's helpful to know that these are the best of the best and back up their claims. Because really, who has time to rifle through 200 Amazon reviews to get the scoop on a product? Knowing that QVC puts products through the wringer, are you rethinking your holiday shopping strategy? And tell us: what's a seen-on-TV product that you actually love?
