The invention provides for modeling and scoring risk-assessment and a set of insurance products derived therefrom. Risk indicators are determined at a selected time. A population is assessed at that time and afterward for those risk indicators and for consequences associated therewith. Population members are coupled to client devices for determining risk indicators and consequences. A server receives data from each client, and in response thereto and in conjunction with an expert operator, (1) reassesses weights assigned to the risk indicators, (2) determines new risk indicators, (3) determines new measures for determining risk indicators and consequences, and (4) presents treatment options to each population member. The server determines, in response to the data from each client, and possibly other data, a measure of risk for each indicated consequence or for a set of such consequences. The server provides this measure with regard to each population member, or with regard to population subsets. The expert operator uses this measure to determine either (1) an individual course of treatment, (2) a resource utilization review model, (3) a risk-assessment model, or (4) an insurance pricing model, for each individual population member or for selected population subsets. Information requested by the client, information determined and presented by the server, and responsive measurements, are adapted dynamically to changing population aspects or changing population membership, or of an external environment having relevance to the population.

No. 09/160,970 filed Sep. 25, 1998, issued as U.S. Pat. No. 6,240,393. Said U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/625,080 and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/160,970 are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
The present invention relates generally to computer systems and more particularly to data structures for modeling and scoring risk assessment, such as insurance risk.
In the insurance industry and in other fields in which risk is assessed (including such diverse fields as medical treatment, financial modeling and portfolio management, and environmental impact regulation), it is known to develop and use a risk-assessment model of a population. The risk-assessment model provides a technique for determining which population members are more subject or less subject to particular risks (or to an aggregate of risks) than the norm for that population. For example, in life insurance underwriting, it is known to evaluate past and present medical data so as to determine what insurance premium the underwriter wishes to charge.
While these known methods generally achieve the goal of assessing risk for particular individuals in comparison to a population norm, they have the drawback of making a risk assessment that is fixed at a particular point in time. That is, these risk-assessment models rely on static data, in particular (1) static data about the individual population member, (2) static data about the population norm, and (3) static data about risks associated or correlated with the data about the individual population member. However, risk for individual population members depends not only on their present data, but also on their future data, including both data about behavior and environment.
A first type of problem for the known art includes those individuals that have a progressive disease or degenerative condition, in which the disease or condition progresses at a rate that is responsive to behavior or environment of the individual. For such individuals, risk is more accurately evaluated as a function of behavior measured over time and environment measured over time, rather than as a static value that is a function only of present behavior and environment. For example, a first patient with diabetes can proceed with relatively small risk if that first patient is aware of and active in management of behavioral and environmental risk factors. In contrast, an otherwise identical second patient will have significantly greater risk if that second patient is either unaware of, or unable or unwilling to take charge of, behavioral and environmental risk factors.
Related to this first type of problem is the problem of determining trends for individual risk-assessment. For example, an individual with a history of diabetes may suffer a significant increase or decrease in effects thereof, due at least in part to that patient's actions with regard to behavioral and environmental risk factors. Similarly to the first type of problem, that individual will be rationally assessed a significantly greater or lesser risk than originally, if the new facts were known to the underwriter. Such trends may differ significantly from any trends that might have been discerned from past medical history alone; such trends may also themselves involve genetic, environmental, or behavioral components, or some combination thereof.
A second type of problem for the known art includes individuals whose risk-assessment significantly changes due to the vicissitudes of their life trajectory. This can include progression of a disease or condition, responsive at least in part to behavioral or environmental factors. For a more striking example, an individual may suffer a myocardial infarction, or become infected with an HIV variant. Similarly to the first type of problem, that individual would be rationally assessed a significantly greater risk than originally, if the new facts were known to the underwriter. Alternatively, an individual may be successfully treated for a "curable" disease such as Hodgkin's disease or some forms of cancer. Such vicissitudes of life trajectory may themselves involve genetic, environmental, or behavioral components, or some combination thereof.
A third type of problem for the known art includes individuals who significantly change their behavior or environment, particularly when those individuals are susceptible to the elements of their behavior or environment they change. For example, an individual with diabetes can determine to alter their diet favorably or unfavorably. For a more striking example, an individual may take up smoking or skydiving as habits. That individual will become a significantly greater risk than the underwriter originally assessed.
Moreover, new medical research may indicate risk factors that were not known at the time risk for the individual was originally assessed. These could include past medical information not known at the time to be important, tests available in the future for risk factors not known at the time at all, or changes in the medical history of the individual that place that individual in different risk factor categories. Such past medical information or risk factors may themselves involve genetic, environmental, or behavioral elements, or some combination thereof.
Accordingly, it would be advantageous to collect feedback from individual population members, whether on a periodic or aperiodic basis, and whether prompted by selected events or not. Such feedback would allow underwriters or other risk-assessment or risk-management personnel to determine specific risk-related information about each individual population member, and to adjust (such as to make more accurate or precise) insurance models and risk-assessment models to fit the new data. Such feedback enables the advantage of providing information about the time-varying nature of individual measures which can be used in the dynamic risk assessment model presented in the present invention. For instance, a weight gain of 10 pounds per year, an increase in diastolic blood pressure of 10 points per year, and an increase of cholesterol of 10 points per year could be tracked over time and would yield health risk information.
To achieve this advantage, a first aspect of the invention is that feedback is collected by a client-server system in which data is requested or required from population members. A server device, responsive to a risk-assessment model, prompts a client device supplied to population members to request information from population members, in order to determine whether aggregate measures or individual measures of risk-assessment remain in coherence with the model. The client device collects the data and supplies it to the server device, which can, in response to dynamically collected data, adjust the model, adjust risk assessments for selected population members (or groups thereof), or determine further information to collect from population members.
Upon achieving this advantages a second aspect of the invention is to provide a set of superior risk-assessment models and insurance models in response to the feedback. These superior risk-assessment models and insurance models can include information about the risk-related behavior, risk-related trends, or forward-looking risk-assessment of selected individuals or selected subsets of the population. These superior risk-assessment models and insurance models can be responsive to data-mining techniques described. in related patent applications, described below, hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. These superior risk-assessment models can also incorporate known scientific information regarding health risk or disease progression, such as well-determined correlations of risk factors and disease incidence or progression from large research studies, or well-known shape of 5-year survival curves for patients having specific types of cancer.
Accordingly, it would also he advantageous to provide a set of techniques for modeling and scoring risk-assessment and a set of insurance products derived therefrom, using dynamic assessment of risk indicators and associated consequences for a population. This advantage is achieved in an embodiment of the invention in which a population (such as a population of medical patients) is assessed both at a selected time and afterward for those risk indicators and for consequences associated therewith. A client-server system provides dynamic data collection and analysis, dynamic risk assessment in response to that data collection and analysis, and dynamic treatment options and utilization review for each population member.
The invention provides a set of techniques for modeling and scoring risk-assessment and a set of insurance products derived therefrom. A set of risk indicators (such as medical risk factors for individuals) is determined at a selected time. A population (such as a population of medical patients) is assessed at the selected time and afterward for those risk indicators and for consequences associated therewith. For example, the population can be periodically assessed for correlation between smoking and heart disease, for correlation between alcohol use and heart disease, and for multivariate correlation of a plurality of such indicators and consequences.
In a preferred embodiment, selected population members are each coupled to client devices for determining risk indicators and consequences. For example, where the population is a set of medical patients, the client device can include a local device for asking medical, psychological and life-style questions, and for measurement of medical parameters, for each of those patients. A server device receives data from each client device, and in response thereto, can (1) reassess weights assigned to the risk indicators, (2) determine new significant risk indicators, (3) determine new significant measures for determining risk indicators and consequences, and (4) present treatment options to each population, member. The server device can perform these tasks in conjunction with an operator, such as a skilled medical professional, risk-management assessor, or other expert.
The server device can determine, in response to the data from each client device, and possibly in response to other data (such as provided by the expert operator), a measure of risk for each indicated consequence or for a set of such consequences. The server device can provide this measure with regard to each population member, or with regard to population subsets (selected either with regard to the known risk indicators or other indicators). The expert operator can use this measure to determine either (1) an individual course of treatment, (2) a resource utilization review model, (3) a risk-assessment model, or (4) an insurance pricing model, for each individual population member or for selected population subsets.
In a preferred embodiment, information requested by the client device, information determined and presented by the server device, and measurements determined in response thereto, can be adapted dynamically to changing aspects or changing membership of the population, or of an external environment having relevance to the population. For example, medical treatment or risk-assessment models can be dynamically adapted to an aging population or to biomedical advances with regard to detection or treatment of medical conditions for members of that population.

Referring to FIG. 1 a, a system 100 includes a client device 110, a server device 120 including a program memory 122 and database of patient information 121, and a data review element 130. These devices are connected via a communication channel, such as a communication network as in known in the art and more fully described in the Phenoscope and Phenobase patent (U.S. Ser. No. 09/041,809) and related patent application Ser. No. 08/946,341 and other patents and patent applications previously incorporated by reference.

FIG. 2 shows a response diagram 200 a of consequences to risk indicators, for statistical aggregates of the population, which can be selected in response to dynamic data collection and analysis. It is to be noted that FIG. 2 shows curves that are collapsed to 2-dimensions, in a preferred embodiment the curves are N-dimensional, with N>2.
A diagram 200 a includes a first axis X 201 and a second axis Y 202. The diagram shows a first response curve RO 210 showing a normal trajectory for vital function and life expectancy of an individual or subpopulation of the population. The first axis X 201 indicates a relative time, as measured toward a right side of the diagram. The scale of the first axis X 201 is a relative time whose initial left hand point may be undetermined. As to a first response curve RO 210, the second axis Y 202 represents a measure of vital function and life expectancy.
A diagram 200 a also shows a second response curve SO 220 showing a normal trajectory for a measure of expected medical expense or risk for an individual or subpopulation of the population. The first axis X 201 indicates a relative time as for a first response curve RO 210. As to a second response curve SO 220, the second axis Y 202 shows increasing expense or risk as measured toward the top of the diagram.
In the first response curve RO 210, the normal trajectory for vital function and life expectancy for a typical individual in the population shows that as time progresses, vitality and life expectancy are expected to decrease. This general concept is known in the art of actuaries. It is to be noted that the shape shown by the first response curve RO 210 is an example shape; for instance, it is known that for certain curable cancers, risk increases, then levels off after a certain length of time such as a 5-year survival rate, then later in life risk increases due to other causes.
The first response curve RO 210 includes a number of points with error bars 211 about the response curve RO 210. All of the points 211 are at an identical value, VO, of the second axis Y 202, with identical error bars. Any one of the points represents a single measurement of vitality taken for an individual. Given any single measurement of vitality, it is difficult to determine where along the second axis X 201, that is, where along the trajectory the individual is. Of particular interest is how close to a rapid decline in vitality or increase in risk the individual is. The points 211 show the several places along the curve where the individual might be placed, based on this single measurement of vitality. Because the response curve RO 210 is slowly varying through much of the time, that is, the values of vitality and life expectancy clustering in a selected region of the second axis Y 202, shown by the bracket 203, and due to margins of error in both the measurement as well as the response curve, there are several positions along the curve where an individual with a specific measurement might be; these several positions are shown by points 211.
By contrast, if measurements are taken for an individual at more than one point in time, greater information is present, and in particular trends may be discerned which yield more information about where on the curve an individual is. This ability to discern trends is greater when curves in N-dimensions are considered. For instance, an individual whose excess weight has slowly climbed in conjunction with slowly increasing cholesterol, blood pressure, stress levels and family medical history would be placed in a greater risk category although the individual measures of, for instance, cholesterol, might be within a normal range.
Similarly, in the second response curve SO 220, the normal trajectory for expected medical expense and risk for that typical individual shows that as time progresses, expected medical expense and risk are expected to increase. This general concept is also known in the art of actuaries. It is to be noted that the shape shown by the second response curve RO 220 is an example shape; for instance, upon diagnosis of a disease the expense may climb, but if the patient is cured the expense will level off.
Similarly, the second response curve SO 220 includes a number of points 221 on the response curve SO 220, showing possible places that an individual in the population with measurement of expense or risk, with value E0, might be. Because most of the values of response curve SO 220 cluster in a selected region of the second axis Y 202 shown by the bracket 204, it is difficult to know where along curve SO 220 an individual with measurement E0 should he placed. This is due to both possible error in measurement of E0 as well as uncertainty in the exact "true" position and shape of curve SO 220. As for curve RO 210, measurements of expense or risk taken over time will yield useful information about where on the curve SO 220 an individual is.
When subsets of the population are selected in response to specific risk factors, the statistical aggregates of the population can differ substantially from the aggregate response curves RO 210 and SO 220 for the entire population. The diagram 200 a shows response curves R1 a 212 and R1 b 213 showing a normal life trajectory for vital function and life expectancy of an "average" individual in the population, depending on whether that individual is associated with a selected risk factor a. As with regard to the aggregate for the entire population, it is difficult to determine from a specific single measurement just where on either response curve R1 a 212 or R1 b 213 the individual should be assessed. Depending on whether the value of a is known for an individual, it may also be difficult to know whether the individual should be placed on response curve R1 a 212 or R1 b 213. Measurements of several risk indicators taken over time may yield information on whether a specific individual should be placed in category R1 a 213 or the higher risk category R1 b 212. The general concept of using time-dependent information to determine risk along is also illustrated in FIG. 5.
The client device 110 determines information from which the server device 120 or the data review element 130 can analyze the time varying nature of data. The server device 120 or the data review element 130 can therefore determine both of the following: (1) just where on either response curve R1 a 212 or R1 b 213 the individual should be assessed; and (2) whether the individual should be assessed on the response curve R1 a 212 or the response curve R1 b 213.
It is to be noted that the above analysis has been condensed to 2-dimensions for convenience in presentation, with a single measurement along a single X-axis or Y-axis. In a preferred embodiment, a measurement would have many attributes, i.e. the model would have N-dimensions, and more sophisticated techniques for analyzing trends and achieving objectives are used.
If the data for the population is not known for all individuals in the population or subpopulation of interest, the server device 120 transmits a new set of information-gathering instructions (such as questions and suggested answers) to the client device 110, so as to measure that information individually for each patient 111.
FIG. 3 a shows a process flow diagram 300 a for a method with steps of dynamically collecting information 310, choosing to verify or update the model or to create new model 320, verifying 350 or updating 330 the risk assessment model or creating a new model 340, deciding whether to re-evaluate risk 360 and re-evaluating risk based on updated information and current model 370.
FIG. 3 b shows a process flow diagram 300 b of a method for dynamic data collection to be performed by the system. This data collection may be done periodically or aperiodically, upon a triggering event or decision by the expert operator. The population or subpopulation from which to collect data is selected 380. The selection criteria may be based on preset values or may be set by the expert operator. The set of risk indicators or other information to be collected is selected 382, based either on preset values or decision by the expert operator. The individuals in the subpopulation of interest are queried 384 as to the information of interest and the database is updated 386. "The pre-query steps need not be done in the order indicated.
FIG. 3 c shows a process flow diagram 300 c of a method by which the updated data can be analyzed to determine whether the existing model is consistent with the updated data; that is, to verify that the data conforms to the model within acceptable variation or error. This is accomplished by putting the updated data into categories 390, determining the updating measures of life vitality or costs 392, determining the values predicted by the model 394, comparing the updated measures of life vitality or costs against those predicted by the model 396 and determining whether the comparison is acceptable 397. If the predicted value is within an acceptable distance from the updated values based on well known measures such as statistical error, then the model need not he adjusted. The expert operator may also visually determine whether the updated data and existing model show an acceptable relationship to each other.
As shown in FIG. 3 a, a current model can be determined based on updated information. Once a current model is determined, which may include simply using the already existing model, individual or subpopulation risk assessment may be reevaluated in response to one or more pieces of updated information, as desired by the expert operator or as a preprogrammed operation.
FIG. 4 a shows a process flow diagram 400 a of a method for dynamic data analysis ("data mining") to be performed by the system. The updated database can be mined to create a new model that may include reassessment of weights assigned to the risk indicators, addition of new significant risk indicators, or determination of new significant measures for determining risk indicators and consequences. Applied examples of data mining and additional explanation are shown in the related application Ser. No. 09/041,809 and other applications referenced above.
FIG. 4 b shows a process flow diagram of a method of using the statistical method of calculating correlations on subpopulations, following the steps of: (1) choose a risk factor 450; (2) divide the risk pool into two groups based on outcome 460; (3) search all other data for correlation to high versus low risk 470; (3) create a new risk factor based on this correlation 480. The new risk factor may be a discrete piece of data that was asked of the client but was not previously known to be a significant predictor, or it may be a new factor that is generated by combining other pieces of data. FIG. 4 b is a process flow diagram of the above steps.
In addition to data mined from the database, in creating a new model, scientific information well known in the literature may supplement the data. For instance, scientific information regarding certain well studied correlations be considered such as known correlations of time since quitting smoking and various health conditions, known information regarding the shape of life expectancy curves for certain types of cancer patients, or recent information regarding efficacy of new forms of treatment for diseases such as recent significant improvements in treatment of AIDS.
Statistical analyses are known in the art of statistics, and include correlation analyses, multivariate regressions, constrained multivariate regressions, or variance analyses, may also be run on the data to reveal statistical relationships among the various information or measures of life vitality or medical expense in order to improve the predictive power of a model, although in a preferred embodiment data mining is done as presented in the preceding paragraphs.
Modeling risk is performed by assigning risk to individual in response to risk factors identified for that individual, and such modeling may be done for the population or for a subpopulation. There are many techniques for modeling, such as linearly risk scoring by assigning a number to each risk factor and adding up each number to determine a total risk score, non-linearly assessing risk by combining risk factors non-linearly to determine risk which may be achieved by neural network techniques which are known in the art of neural networks, or other techniques.
FIG. 5 shows a diagram 500 including a first axis X 502 and a second axis Y 503 and a response curve RO 501, similar to that shown in FIG. 2. It shows several measurements of vitality with error bars 511 of an individual taken at several different points in time. Each measurement of vitality is taken at a later time from left to right. Information about the time varying nature of the measurements, or the trends, can improve the ability to predict future vitality, including imminent sharp declines in vitality, as can been seen by visually examining the data over time or by using sophisticated statistical techniques to examine the data and trends in the data over N-dimensions.
Insurance pricing may be achieved from advantages in risk assessment. It is known in the art of actuarial analysis to assign price in response to risk.
FIG. 6 is a process flow diagram 600 showing a method for providing treatment options and information to each member based on the information provided. Upon receiving information about the patient from the client 610, the server or expert operator may identify a risk group 620 and identify an appropriate medical protocol 630, the server may present one or more responses to the patient 640, including treatment options, advice or merely health information that would be useful to the patient, and the client device may be configured to use an appropriate medical protocol in interacting with the patient 650. It is known in the art of medicine that membership in a risk group may indicate appropriate treatment. This may be done from an automated, preset set of responses to individual queries made to the patient, on an aggregate of preset responses to queries, or by an expert operator.
Although preferred embodiments are disclosed herein, many variations are possible which remain within the concept, scope, and spirit of the invention, and these variation would become clear to those skilled in the art after perusal of this application.

The wood for the Habitat for Humanity project came from the Cook Tree Farm of Minnesota Sen. Tom Bakk, which he donated. Harvesting was done by Cliff Shermer, one of more than 440 participants in the rigorous Minnesota Logger Education Program, which continually updates loggers on current technologies, environmental regulations and other requirements. The logs were then hauled to the Ainsworth Engineered mill in Cook, where they will soon be made into OSB, compliments of Ainsworth.
As part of the renewable nature of the project, Sen. Bakk's harvested land will be replanted this spring, using seedlings donated by the University of Minnesota.
"I'm happy to donate these raw materials because Habitat for Humanity and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative are such outstanding organizations," said Sen. Bakk. "This partnership with SFI is the first of its kind in the United States to ensure a Habitat home is built using forest products harvested via measures that promote sustainability – from the OSB that Ainsworth is making, to the final piece of trim that will complete the house."
The OSB will be stored at Ainsworth until spring, when the material will be hauled to the home site in Hibbing. SFI and other volunteers will build a one-story, 1,100-square-foot home using additional materials donated by Louisiana Pacific, Marvin Windows and other Minnesota Sustainable Forestry Initiative program participants.
Other Minnesota forest products companies are also contributing, in the form of cash donations to help fund the Habitat for Humanity project. Those companies are Boise, Inc.; Forest Capital Partners, LLC; NewPage Corporation; Sappi Fine Paper North America; UPM, Blandin Paper Mill; and Verso Paper, Sartell Mill.
"This Habitat for Humanity project is a great way to demonstrate how Minnesotans come into contact with practices that promote responsible forestry every day," said Tim O'Hara, coordinator of the Minnesota SFI Implementation Committee. "More and more people are realizing the importance of responsible forestry, and SFI is pleased to be a leader in that area."
"SFI is proud to be a partner in this project and support the work of the Minnesota SFI Implementation committee on this incredibly important project," said SFI President and CEO Kathy Abusow. "This is another example of how our 37 implementation committees across North America are making real, positive differences, not just at the forest management level but also at the community level."
Nathan Thompson, executive director of the North St. Louis County Habitat for Humanity, said his organization is proud and grateful to be the first Habitat organization in the country to team up with a state SFI committee.
"We're appreciative of all volunteers who put so much time and effort into building affordable homes with deserving families, but it's especially gratifying to have the people who supply home building materials taking on a project for us," said Thompson. "Like SFI, Habitat for Humanity is a great believer in the importance of promoting sustainability."
The SFI program is one of the largest forestry certification programs in the world, using measurements that include protection of water quality, biodiversity, wildlife habitat and more. There are more than 143 million acres certified to the comprehensive SFI standard across North America. In Minnesota, there are nearly 6.5 million acres of forestlands certified, making Minnesota the leader in the United States in the amount of acres enrolled in the SFI program.

Apple Pay is now supported by 21 issuing American banks including US Bank, US Trust, Navy Federal, American Express, Barclaycard, L&N Federal Credit Union and Wells Fargo! The full and ever growing list of participating Apple Pay issuers is available via this Apple support page.
The NFC chip iPhone payments system was launched in the October iOS update, and according to Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, over 1 million cards were activated within the first 72 hours after Apple Pay was launched.
Apple Pay has had an incredibly successful launch so far in the USA, but so far it is unavailable elsewhere – what is happening about international efforts?
When will Apple Pay come to Europe?
For those of us outside of the US, we will have to wait until 2015 when Apple will be working with Visa to launch Apple Pay in Europe (including the UK). It looks as though EU legislation may be holding up the process just a bit as they decide on a new set of regulations for mobile payments including 'strong customer authentication', but from what we can tell from Apple Pay's encrypted security system, they would probably be one of the most secure options. For more on this, check out this article in www.computing.co.uk.
Apple's European head office is based in London, so many people in the UK are hoping that means they'll bring Apple Pay to the UK before Europe, but we have had no assurances on this subject from Apple.
What Devices support Apple Pay?
The iPhone 6, the iPhone 6 Plus are the only definite models we can speak of just now.
The iWatch is expected to be Apple Pay compatible. It may also be possible for the iPad Air 2 and the iPad Mini 3 to be used for some form of slightly restricted Apple Pay options, but we're not clear on that yet.

God Help Us, Lou and Milton Show their Feminine Sides
If I was a Cubs fan, I might not feel this way. And if I was a man, I know I would not feel this way. But as a woman and an impartial observer, I was fascinated by the confrontation between Cubs manager Lou Piniella and his "star" rightfielder Milton Bradley this weekend.
I put star in quote marks because Bradley has not played this season like someone paid $30 million for three years is expected to perform. The Cubs knew they were taking a chance in signing him because Bradley, for all of his wondrous talents, has a long history of acting like a deranged two-year-old in need of a nap.
But the part that really interested me was how much the two men acted like women this weekend – or at least like women are often stereotyped.
I will not stereotype because I learned in journalism school that this is not a good thing to do. And also because it wouldn't be nearly as much fun as what I am going to do instead, and that's to project how I and most women I know would act if we were in the same situation.
The problem started when Bradley, after flying out against the Sox on Friday (the day after being benched for poor performance in Detroit), threw his helmet in the dugout and smashed the water cooler.
OK, this part is a little hard for me to envision for myself or any woman I know since women, as a general rule, do not resort to smashing and throwing. For example, when I strike out repeatedly in softball, I usually come into the dugout and apologize to all of my teammates for being so bad, and if no one consoles me, I will start making excuses like the pitcher is putting too much spin on the ball or I can't find a bat that isn't way too heavy. Suffice to say, I do much more talking than smashing.
Next, Piniella ordered Bradley to take off his uniform and leave the ballpark, after which Piniella said Bradley mumbled something under his breath. That's when Piniella followed Bradley into the clubhouse and yelled at him, "You're not a player, you're a piece of s—."
Piniella was angry not just because Bradley has not been hitting this season, but because he's a monumental pain, getting ejected and suspended for arguing in his first Wrigley Field at-bat; complaining that umpires pick on him; continuing his reputation for nursing seemingly minor injuries; and flinging helmets when things don't go his way.
I am not going to say women do not say things we wish we hadn't. I'm guessing there are even women in management positions who have resorted to cursing at an employee who has been as big an annoyance as Bradley has. I think, again not to stereotype, that most of us would be a little more clever than Piniella in his choice of words, but that's being nit-picky.
One of the things that set Lou off was that someone – and he accused clubhouse workers at Sox Park – gossiped to the media about his verbal assault.
I suspect it was Bradley who blabbed to one too many people about what Lou said, and that's what got back to a Sun-Times reporter. But this would not happen to most women. Why? Because we have all learned that when saying anything gossip-worthy in a public place – good or bad and no matter how far from your home base – you always take a long look around first, lower your voice and use made-up names.
Before Friday's game, Bradley told Tribune reporter Paul Sullivan that he was not bonding with his teammates.
"I had a good rapport with [fired hitting coach Gerald Perry]," Bradley said." I trusted Gerald and I could talk to him, and he's gone. I think I clicked with [ex-Cub outfielder Joey] Gathright and he's gone. So you just kind of feel like you're on an island, and trying to stay afloat.
"The teammates, they're there and they say all the right things, but it's just [small talk]. . .
"I'm really not a guy who's seeking any attention. I'm not seeking to be noticed . . . I just want to be part of a group and fit in and just love and be loved. That's the basis of what I am . . . Maybe years ago I might have thought I wanted all this, but I really don't want all the attention."
OK, first let me just say that if a woman in a prominent position making $30 million said something like this publicly, she would be ridiculed in every newspaper, Internet blog and People Magazine for weeks, perhaps months. Let me also say that if Bradley was a woman, most women I know would consider her one of those whiny, needy, extremely annoying types that make you change aisles when you see her heading your way behind a grocery cart.
Bradley's teammate, Derrek Lee, called Bradley at home that night after the fight with Piniella, reassured him that all of his teammates liked him and urged him to come early to the game the next day and not to sulk.
If he was a woman, Lee would be heading up the most troublesome committee on the PTA, the kind of woman I could never be because I lack the patience. I would be much more likely to hurl expletives, a la Piniella, than to call Bradley and reassure him after that display.
The next day, Piniella apologized to Bradley for cursing at him, and told reporters he felt badly all evening.
"We won a ballgame yesterday and I didn't enjoy the win at all," Lou said. "I had dinner with my wife last night. It was on my mind all night. . . . It really took the joy out of winning a baseball game."
This would be about the point where, if I was playing the Lou part, my husband would tell me to forget about it, that everything would be fine. In other words – he would be completely irritated that I would dwell on a silly argument all night and allow it to ruin dinner.
Piniella took Bradley into his office where Bradley said the two "shed some tears."
"He didn't feel good about the situation and neither did I," Bradley said. "We had a heartfelt talk and we're both the better for it."
And finally, a female moment I can relate to.

Lou supposedly read some coaching tomes over the winter, like Phil Jackson's book. I wish he'd have read something called "Old Time Baseball", and acted like a manager instead of letting5 guys get away with something then put the hammer down on the 6th when he does it.
Frank on June 30th, 2009 - 1:42am
Melissa –
When you are not performing well like Bradley, he would be wise not to talk, to try and find out what is wrong, than work at getting better. He is just going from bad to worse. Lou may be in a dilemma as this guy came to the Cubs with a big ticket, the old thing you don't fire the player may be over Lou.
As far as women being in charge, I love it no matter what people would say.
The Lady Bosses I have had told it like it is, were extremely honest, and most of all were not afraid to make a decision, and stand by it. Men try to much to think what people will think or say before they speak. Many do not make any decisions at all.
The women have it together in my book.


Unfortunately for me, I did not manage to get in to see Frazier Park Recut at the Telluride Horror Show. There were simply so many good films to choose from, and a girl has to eat (and drink herself into a blistering hangover). Fortunately, however, I was able to screen it after the event from the comfort of my own couch.
Disclaimer: Found footage films and I have had a complicated and very mixed relationship since I was working at a movie theater when people were puking in EVERY showing of The Blair Witch Project to when the style absolutely inundated the horror genre. I say all that to say that if I actually enjoy a found footage film, it means it is exceptional in its subgenre.
If I had to describe Frazier Park Recut in one word, it would be: clever.
The film begins as a found footage instance of filmmakers making a movie and adding behind the scenes footage. However, this whole film-within-a-film motif then expands to include multiple points of view. Found footage leading up to people getting attacked is not new (to the point of being exhausted), but this approach is very fresh and unique.
Frazier Park Recut hearkens back to its Blair Witch ancestor in that it is true shaky cam, unlike the more studio narratives that have taken over (most likely to reduce the vomit in theaters). It also includes the mundane details leading up to the climax, making it a relatively slow burn. Neither of these elements are particularly appealing to me, but they serve the higher purpose of enhancing the realism.
I appreciated the realism. I could believe that this footage was just recovered from real victims. The movie is very successful in that regard.
I think what works best for me in this film is the acting. The actors, though they are playing "themselves," are so natural and convincing in the behind the scenes instances. I believe them; I like them. Then when the narrative switches to footage from the movie they are making, their acting skills are sloppier. So we can tell they are acting. I loved this subtlety. It is another thing that really contributed to the entire realism goal of the movie.
Despite being outside my usual horror movie preferences, Frazier Park Recut really was a fun ride. I loved the blended narrative approach of behind the scenes, movie footage, and character perspectives. The creepiness is also on point. I do not want to get into too much detail because I hate spoilers.
Had I been able to sneak in one more screening at Telluride Horror Show, I would have loved to check out Frazier Park Recut in the theater. I would have enjoyed hearing what it was like to make a movie about making a movie about a movie.

Michele Marsh was a pleasant and competent anchor for years in New York. She died Tuesday of breast cancer at age 63.
Marsh was only 25 when she hit the big time, arriving at WCBS/Channel 2 in 1979. She sat with several colleagues during her 17-year career at WCBS, but viewers probably recall her and Rolland Smith most fondly.
"In the time we spent together as anchors we became good friends and confidants," Smith tells TunedIn.
Smith occasionally spoke to her after his exit from WCBS. As for Marsh, she was abruptly let go as part of the infamous "Black Friday" mass firings in 1996.
John Johnson was also shown the door that autumn day. The duo would immediately turn to WNBC as anchor colleagues on a new noon broadcast.
Johnson says she was terribly hurt how it ended at Channel 2 given her many years of service.
Other than a brief hiccup when Dave Marash was rehired and reteamed with Smith in the early 1980s, Marsh was on the late newscast until 1993, where she got to know Ernie Anastos.
At Channel 4, Marsh also co-anchored the 6 p.m. with Chuck Scarborough.
"We liked one another and did some good work together," Johnson recalls.
Marsh died surrounded by her family at her Connecticut home. She is survived by her husband, son John and daughter-in-law Anna.
The family is asking that a donation be made to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation in her memory.
"My personal life and my professional life was made so much richer for knowing her humor, her laughter, and her spirit," Smith says.

One of the premiere street reporters for more than 35 years, Lou Young leaves WCBS/Channel 2. The station giving a send-off to the popular broadcast journalist, complete with a cake and champagne.
"It made me feel very loved," Young says.
Call it retirement if you like, but Young has another idea.
"I'm taking a break and it was the perfect time to do it," Young tells Tuned In.
However, he's in no rush to resume his career, saying he's fully decompressing without even watch the news.
Young worked at the "Big 3" local stations, starting with nine years at WABC/Channel 7 from 1981 to 1990. He moved to WNBC until 1994, before his 23-year stint at WCBS.
"I want to spend some time with my parents," Young says.
A multiple Emmy Award winner, Young covered some of biggest stories at WCBS, including the search for Boston Marathon bombing suspects, Hurricanes Sandy and Katrina, and, of course 9/11.
"As jobs go, it's terrific," Young says.
His retirement was expedited by the sudden death of longtime friend and colleague John Slattery in 2014.

Red carpet ready, the best local TV personalities are honored at 59th Annual New York Emmys.
WCBS takes home the trophy for top morning and noon broadcasts with Chris Wragge and Mary Calvi at the helm. Channel 2 traffic reporter Alex Denis wins in the first ever traffic/transportation category. Also at "the deuce," Jessica Schneider is victorious in the Continuing Coverage category, her first individual Emmy award.
Winner of Best Evening Newscast is WXTV/Univision 41.
For the second time, WPIX's Tamsen Fadal is named the Best Anchor. Her station also picks up the prize for breaking news.
WABC's Rob Powers gets the trophy as top sports anchor, while Ian Eagle earns another Emmy for his Nets play-by-play work on the YES Network. SNY's Keith Hernandez adds another piece of hardware to the mantel.
MSG Network tops all outlets with 14 winners. WNBC leads the over the air stations with 13.

Diane Macedo, weekend WCBS/Channel 2 morning anchor and reporter, has left the station. Multiple sources tell Tuned In that Macedo is headed to WNBC to co-anchor the new 4 p.m. newscast debuting in May.
Channel 4 previously announced that Stefan Holt, son of NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt, was hired as co-anchor on the late afternoon broadcast.
A WNBC spokesperson says they don't comment on rumors, but wouldn't deny it either.
Macedo, 34, joined WCBS two years ago, primarily working with Andrea Grymes on the early Saturday and Sunday broadcasts. She was a frequent fill-in in the evening when Cindy Hsu was out for a few months last year.
UPDATE: Macedo is joining ABC News as anchor of the overnight broadcast World News Now and America This Morning.

If you've been tuning into Channel 2 on the weekend, you've noticed Cindy Hsu is M.I.A. from her anchoring duties.
The veteran WCBS weekend anchor hasn't been on the air since late July. Hsu's absence is shrouded in secrecy.
However, the mystery may be somewhat revealed.
The source adds that the station is anxious to welcome Hsu back at the Broadcast Center.
The 49-year-old Emmy winning anchor/reporter has been a mainstay at Channel 2 for 22 years.

Ann Mercogliano, a versatile New York City reporter, is going national. She is now a member of Inside Edition. The newsmagazine is seen at 1:30 pm weekdays on WNYW/Channel 5.
Mercogliano quietly started last week as a freelancer, Tuned In has learned, while correspondent Megan Alexander is on maternity leave.
Mercogliano apparently told people last month she was exiting WPIX for a role at WABC/Channel 7, as we reported at the time.
Mercogliano's New York rise began in 2010 when she arrived at Channel 4.
Her reporting chops grew over the years, first with lighter fare, including a trip to London for the Royal Wedding, (which got the popular brunette an Emmy Award nomination), and how to stuff your Thanksgiving turkey. She was on the street for a many hard news stories since joining WPIX in 2013.

Television is certainly a visual medium. Local news is about striking a balance between attracting viewers and reporting the story.
Tuesday night, WCBS reporter Weijia Jiang stepped over the line of decency.
In telling the story about a string of robberies in a Brooklyn community while some of the victims slept, Jiang spoke to an eight-year-old girl about the incident. Her mother also talked to Jiang, who translated from Spanish.
The scene was "inexcusable," one veteran TV reporter tells Tuned In.

Whether you know his work from name, voice, or face, chances are if you've been paying attention to New York news coverage in the last three decades you know Frank Cipolla.
No need to be a war correspondent for anecdotes. Cipolla has tons, probably enough for another installment from his beat in the five boroughs and New Jersey. His time at WNBC is a favorite chapter worth the price of the book on its own. As a newscaster, Cipolla was on the front line for some of biggest egos in the business: Howard Stern, Don Imus and Soupy Sales.
Cipolla tells Tuned In it was equally stressful and hilarious.

He was a consumate pro, who was one of the great New York TV street reporters. John Slattery passed away suddenly early Thursday. Tuned In has learned that the veteran WCBS-TV reporter died of an apparent heart attack in his sleep. A spokesperson could not confirm his cause of death. He was 63. His death comes just hours after filing a story for the station.
His death stunned colleagues and competitors alike.
During a legendary 35-year run in New York City, Slattery intersected with some of the most famous anchors the market ever saw. After a stint at Philly's WCAU, Slattery reached the big time when Eyewitness News came calling in 1979. He spent five years with WABC, where Roger Grimsby and Bill Beutel still ruled the roost. The station also added Ernie Anastos and Tom Snyder while Slattery was pounding the pavement. While there, he was part of Channel 7's John Lennon assassination coverage. In 1981, Slattery made history as the first reporter to conduct a post-Watergate interview with former president Richard Nixon.

He was there for the biggest stories during a career than spanned more than 30 years in New York. John Slattery died of an apparent heart attack overnight, Tuned In has confirmed. He was believed to be 63 or 64. Slattery was a fixture at WCBS, joining Channel 2 in October 1984. The general assignment correspondent covered everything from Superstorm Sandy to the Miracle on the Hudson, and of course, the 9/11 attacks.
Prior to that, Slattery spent five years on the street at WABC-TV during the Roger Grimsby/Bill Beutel era.
Slattery was a four-time local Emmy Award winner.

Connection closed by foreign host.

so now how can i send mail without having this problem ?

A: This is because Google will reject any emails sent from IP in the spamhaus database.
What you need to do is go to http://www.spamhaus.org/lookup/ and follow the instruction there to remove your server ip from spamhaus database.
Please also follow this guide: Prevent mail to Gmail users from being blocked or sent to spam

A: You can find the answer at the link in the last line of the Google mail served response:

'The IP you're using to send email is not authorized...'
In order to prevent spam, Gmail refuses mail from IP addresses that are not authorized to send mail. The determination of whether or not an IP address is authorized to send mail is made by the ISP that provides you with the IP address. This list typically contains consumer IP ranges offered for dialup, DSL, or other broadband access.
What can I do to fix this?
Your ISP may provide SMTP relays which will accept mail from your IP, and these servers should be authorized to send mail. Some ISPs may provide a way to get an IP that is authorized, either by upgrading to business class service or static IP service. You should reach out to your ISP to see what options are available.
Another alternative is to send mail through your own domain's servers, either by configuring them to allow relay from your IP address, or by using MSA (mail submission agent). Learn how to use Gmail to send mail from a different address.
Please note that we are unable to whitelist IP addresses or otherwise make exceptions.

In other words, if your IP address is not authorized by your ISP to send mail, you should send your mail through:

*

*Your provider mail server (SMTP relay)

*Your own domain mail server.

Mail servers must meet a number of requirements to prevent their messages from being blocked, e.g. have a PTR record. The use of authentication methods such as SPF, DKIM or DMARC minimize the chance that messages are marked as spam.

A: I had this problem with one of my hotmail addresses, using Thunderbird on Kubuntu. Tried changing sever settings, passwords etc to no avail. In desperation, I deleted the offending email address through "account settings" "account actions" (bottom left of window). If you are on POP3 you will loose all your emails, so make sure you're on IMAP.
You then just select "add email" in Thunderbird and the email is put back as it should be and works perfectly.

As on the Macintosh, the Page Setup command is available in almost every Windows program's File menu. It offers a dialog box where you can specify page size, margins, and other program-specific options related to printing. The individual options in this dialog box vary widely from Windows program to Windows program, but the idea is the same.
If you're accustomed to using PageMaker on the Macintosh, you should have little trouble switching over to PageMaker on Windows. Moving files between platforms may be more complicated, most often because the fonts may not be identical on the two platforms.
Keep in mind that your Windows version of PageMaker can open documents created by the same-numbered Macintosh PageMaker version, but can't open older (or newer) Macintosh PageMaker documents.
To open a Macintosh PageMaker 6.0 document in PageMaker 5.0 for Windows, you must first save the file in Macintosh PageMaker 5.0 format. You should now be able to open the document on the PC.

Fear the Wolves: Early Access Review
A romp full of wolves and radiation.
Fear the Wolves is one of the latest games to emerge within the modern battle royale genre. Unlike titles Fortnite and Realm Royale, Fear the Wolves returns to the early days of PUBG with its gritty realism and "nuclear fallout Russia" style map. With the market quickly becoming saturated with battle royale games, it's important to incorporate something new in order to stand out.
There are a few ways Fear the Wolves does this, notably the inclusion of environmental hazards like wolves. We've encountered wolves while evading other players. Wolves make it harder to sneak up and dispatch enemies, and wolves can often be found in key "high loot" areas. The best way to deal with these wolves appears to be through the use of melee weapons.
As its name suggests, Fear the Wolves is full of actual wolves.
© Vostok Games
This is because melee weapons won't alert nearby players to your position the same way firing shots from a gun will. Plus, using guns to dispatch wolves depletes ammo that could have otherwise been used to defend yourself against enemies. Right now, there's only one melee weapon (the axe) available in the game.
It's unclear whether developer Vostok Games plans to add additional melee weapons in the future, or if their intent is to indeed make these items less common. Vostok Games has also noted that wolves typically appear in "gold areas" on the map, so if you want to avoid wolves altogether, it's best to steer clear of gold map locations.
Rather than a circle, different 100mm red zones will randomly appear on the map in Fear the Wolves.
In addition to rogue wolves roaming the map, you won't experience a typical "red zone" type map closure. Instead, different 100mm sections of the map get blocked off at random. Rather than directly dealing damage, red zones feature different hazard stages. The first hazard to appear in red zones are wolves. The next hazard is radiation, which gradually depletes your health.
The radiation has a sort of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. vibe to it, especially with the nearby scenery and landmarks. There are items available in Fear the Wolves that'll help you deal with these zones including oxygen masks and hazmat suits, though they come at the cost of other wearable gear such as backpacks that expand your inventory space, and armor which can be crucial for reducing the amount of damage you take during enemy engagements.
Staying in red zones without protective gear causes you to take radiation damage in Fear the Wolves.
You can also sprint out of these red zones to safety, but if you were unfortunate enough to suffer radiation damage, you'll need to exert caution as your health replenishes afterwards. Other "hazards" to keep in mind are weather conditions which can reduce visibility, and make driving through the map a real chore.
The developers of Fear the Wolves noted that they worked hard incorporating diverse PVE elements into the game, and it definitely shows. Fear the Wolves is part battle royale, part survival game. You don't need to kill other players to snag the title of last player standing if you don't want to, as there's also a helicopter that comes in during the final stages of the game that evacuates players from the map.
Fear the Wolves places high emphasis on PVE which helps set it apart from other battle royale titles.
Of course, pursuing the helicopter runs the risk of exposing yourself to enemies, so you'll want to be prepared if you plan on utilizing this method of victory. On the surface, Fear the Wolves may be similar to other battle royale games, but it includes enough originality to keep it fun. We get sucked into the game for hours at a time, finding new ways to die, and new ways to succeed.
It's still early on, and Vostok Games likely has plans to add even more to Fear the Wolves during its time in Early Access. With that in mind, we'll have to revisit the game again following its full release in the future. In the meantime, if you're looking for a different battle royale experience that blends together PUBG and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. aesthetic with solid elements of PVE, we highly recommend checking out Fear the Wolves!

With Herbs' induction into the APRA New Zealand Music Hall of Fame this week, five albums from the back catalogue are now available digitally for the first time.
HOMEGROWN; LIGHT OF THE PACIFIC; LONG AGO; SENSITIVE TO A SMILE; and WHAT'S BE HAPPEN? are now available from all digital retailers.
Three of these releases – WHAT'S BE HAPPEN?; LONG AGO; and LIGHT OF THE PACIFIC have been digitally re-mastered from the original master tapes.
Over 30 years, eight albums and 27 members, Herbs are arguably the founding fathers of Pacific reggae in New Zealand. Throughout the bands career, Herbs have kept their musical message clear in expressing gentle but effective protest.
APRA (Australasian Performing Right Association) is honoured to announce Herbs are the first inductees to be added to the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame for 2012.
"Herbs broke down a great many doors when they came onto the scene in the early 1980s. They fused Pacific and Reggae sounds into something unique and relevant to this part of the world; they gave a voice to an emerging, politically-aware audience that had grown up with the Springbok Tour, Bastion Point and Mururoa, and they gave a generation of young Maori and Pasifika musicians and songwriters a new path to follow. Suddenly, the spotlight had moved, and original New Zealand music could be as culturally diverse as the people who make up this country. That spotlight hasn't shifted back; it's continued to expand to this day, and the vibrant, multi-cultural music scene that we now enjoy owes much of its existence to this one band." Don McGlashan, APRA New Zealand Writer Director.
Herbs members being inducted are: Dilworth Karaka, Toni Fonoti, Phil Toms, Spencer Fusimalohi, John Berkley, Fred Faleauto and Charles Tumahai (deceased), Maurice Watene, Tama Lundon, Jack Allen, Carl Perkins, Willie Hona, Thom Nepia, Tama Renata, Gordon Joll, Grant Pukeroa, Kristen Hapi.
Herbs will be honoured and inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame at the APRA Silver Scroll Awards, Auckland Town Hall on Thursday 13th September 2012.
