Therapy over the phone as effective as face-to-face, study suggests

ScienceDaily (Sep. 28, 2012) ? A new study reveals that cognitive therapy over the phone is just as effective as meeting face-to-face. The research was published September 28, in the journal PLoS ONE.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge together with the National Institute for Health Research Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research & Care (NIHR CLAHRC) and NHS Midlands & East also found that providing talking therapy over the phone increases access to psychological therapies for people with common mental disorders and potentially saves the NHS money.

For the study, data from 39,000 patients in seven established Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services (an initiative which aims to expand the availability of psychological therapies) in the East of England were used to compare Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) delivered face-to-face versus over the phone. For all but an infrequent, identifiable clinical group with more severe illness, therapy over the phone was as effective as face to face, and the cost per session was 36.2% lower.

Patients may be unable to access health services due to transport problems, work commitments and physical disability, among many reasons. So increasing availability of talking therapies over the phone will make mental health services more accessible to patients.

On the back of the study results, NHS Midlands & East has instigated a regional training programme to standardise service delivery and ensure therapists are competent at phone contacts. The training programme has recently been extended into a partnership with a third party organisation.

Professor Peter Jones, Principal Investigator of the study from the University of Cambridge, said: "Providing therapy over the phone will not only help individuals gain much-needed access to mental health treatment, it will provide a more cost effective way of providing these services at a time when everyone is concerned about cutting costs."

Mental health illnesses affect one in four adults in Britain every year. Additionally, the NHS spends more on mental health than it does on cancer, heart disease, stroke and asthma put together (a total of ?9.95 billion in 2010-2011), with general practitioners spending more than a third of their time on mental health issues.

Is Apple trying to kill Pandora?

It's fortunate that my current contract prevents me from getting the iPhone 5. By the time I'm unshackled, in approximately a year, I presume the mapping situation will be fixed, and other bells and whistles will be added, or improved.

I do have iOS6, and have noted some minor mistakes on its map app driving around town. Before I venture to parts lesser known, I'll have to download a separate maps app, or print out a Google map and glance at it while driving. That's a drag, but let's put it down alongside Apple's other rare slips, like Ping or MobileMe.

As a longtime fanboy - going back before the 128k Macintosh - there's something that disturbs me more. For no particularly reason, Apple has decided to get into the Internet radio business, a move that threatens the future of a home-grown pioneer that has already struggled against great odds: Pandora Media.

Now a public company with an estimated 150 million registered users, Pandora grew out of Oakland's Music Genome Project, co-founded by Tim Westergren in 1999. Using a complicated algorithm, the project codifies hundreds of vocal and instrumental characteristics into five "genomes" ranging from rock and hip-hop to jazz, classical and world music. The genomes form the basis of playlists Pandora provides for users choosing "stations" based on their list of favorite songs, musical pieces, artists or genres, like "Madonna Radio," "Adagio for Strings Radio," "Charlie Parker Radio" or "Salsa Radio."

Since its launch in 2000, Pandora has gone on to capture 74 percent of online radio listeners and a 6.3 percent share of the radio audience nationwide. It's far ahead of rivals like Spotify and Rdio. In July, 55 million registered users downloaded music from its servers. Pandora's app is on every smartphone platform (it's the second most downloaded app on the iPhone), comes pre-installed on most major new car radios, and has steadily increased advertising revenue.

However, profit remains elusive, and it wasn't so long ago that Pandora was staring death in the face. Hemmed in by impossibly high royalty payments to the music industry, Pandora was on the verge of going out of business in 2008, rescued at the last minute by the bipartisan Webcaster Settlement Act, signed by President George W. Bush, enabling online music providers to negotiate lower royalties.

Seeking to level the playing field further - half of its $101.3 million second quarter revenue went to royalties - Pandora is lobbying hard for a bipartisan bill sponsored by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, that would put Internet radio royalties on the same, lower, basis as those paid by satellite and cable radio channels.

Coincidentally, with Pandora's upbeat third quarter estimates, issued in late August, reports surfaced that Apple was in licensing talks with major record companies for a customized music streaming service much the same as Pandora's. Instant reaction: Pandora's stock price dropped 22 percent.

Talks were so far along, according to some reports, that Apple was scheduled to introduce its streaming service to the world along with iPhone 5 two weeks ago. That is, until Sony balked at the licensing fee Apple was offering.

At least Apple fans have been temporarily saved from another crummy app of its own making. But if Apple is serious, what happens to Pandora, which, by the way, contributes considerable revenue via its one-click link to Apple's iTunes salesroom? Kicked to the curb like Google's maps, in the name of what, besides pure avarice?

Ironically, in the wake of Apple's move, there is talk that Google, or maybe even Amazon, which are both seeking to augment their music and entertainment offerings, could step in as Pandora's white knight. "The people at Pandora know how to make compelling services that people like and love. That kind of expertise is extremely valuable," Tom Taulli, an analyst at IPOPlaybook.com, told Bloomberg Businessweek.

Apple isn't commenting - it never does - and neither is Pandora. "We are in the business of providing the best music experience possible," said Pandora spokesman Eric Brown. "And creating it isn't easy."

When my iPhone contract is up, I'll go where Pandora goes. Should that be an Android phone, so be it.

The Importance of Recurrent Estate Plan Updates - Temecula ...

[An estate case resulting in a dreaded family feud] underscores why clients should review their estate plans annually because tax laws change. Failing to do this might land families in court and entangle inheritances in litigation.

It is apparent that 2012 is a unique year for planning with the current estate tax and gifting laws. But as the years go by and laws change, are you paying attention to your estate plans and how they could be affected?? Such was the case back in 2010 when there was no estate tax, a very unique situation that some did not plan for.

It just goes to show that changing laws matter, and that your estate plans must change accordingly.

For fresh evidence of the necessity for annual visitation of the estate plan, and for the oddities of 2010, Financial Planner magazine recently published an article titled ?Family Feud: Review Estate Plans Annually.? It?s the case of the family behind Magnolia Audio Visual, and the couple that sold its retail rights to Best Buy and accumulated a cool $100 million estate in the process. Unfortunately, the parents weren?t as savvy with their estate planning.

The estate plan provided that the maximum amount allowable under the federal estate tax threshold would be passed down to the children, with the rest to pass to the surviving spouse to thereby avoid immediate estate taxation. Unfortunately, the plan didn?t account for the fact that 2010 didn?t have an estate tax (thanks to expiring Bush-era laws and a gridlocked Congress).

The wife died. When the husband nevertheless claimed the estate that was to pass to the children under the estate tax planning, the children were noticeably irked. It seems they had been passed over and were in danger of losing a fortune afforded under the once-in-a-lifetime and quite unintended tax loophole. Accordingly, the children filed suit against their father on the grounds of ?non-compliance, forgery and the use of undue influence.?

This case serves as a lesson to all that we should frequently update our estate plans to ensure our wishes are carried through to our loved ones.

RIM buys itself breathing room for BB10 launch

TORONTO (Reuters) - Research In Motion Ltd shares jumped on Friday after the embattled BlackBerry maker posted quarterly results that showed it was still able to pull off a surprise as it tackles the formidable task of getting consumers excited over its new smartphone line.

While RIM's performance gave Wall Street a modicum of optimism, analysts stressed RIM has to now prove that the BlackBerry 10 devices, due early next year, can halt its brand's downward spiral. That won't be easy, they said.

"I have to admit they did a very good job making the best out of a really tough situation. You've got to give management some credit for that, but they still need to nurse the company back to health," said Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu.

RIM stunned investors on Thursday with stronger-than-expected BlackBerry sales in the quarter ended September 1. It even managed to build up its cash reserves, giving it a fighting chance to market the new BlackBerry 10 line effectively, while ramping up production of the reengineered smartphones.

Investors responded to the rare glimmer of good news for the embattled company by pushing up RIM's downtrodden share price up by more than 8 percent in afternoon trading on Friday.

Until Thursday's results, RIM was being written off by analysts because of its failure to keep pace with innovations from rivals such as Apple Inc and Samsung Electronics Co.

Analysts said RIM needs to generate enough excitment about the new devices to be able to sell them at a healthy profit.

"The question is, even if they do sell BB10 units, what is the margin profile going to be," said Wu, who notes that RIM once realized gross margins in the mid-40 percent range. Margins are now below 30 percent.

"If the gross margin profile stays where it is, then it is going to be very tough to be profitable, even if they sell a lot of BlackBerry 10 phones," he said.

To be sure, RIM managed to boost average selling prices in its latest quarter compared with the previous three months. That was a positive signal in the lead-up to the BB10 launch in early 2013.

"The bad news is that these results have little or no bearing on what remains true, and that is, RIM still needs to execute on BB10 and do it in a way that draws clear and resonant distinctions between what it has to offer and what the rest of the market has to offer," said CCS Insight analyst John Jackson.

The company is counting on BB10, equipped with a revamped operating system, to arrest a precipitous decline in market share over the past year and longer.

But in the end, the success or failure of the BB10 will hinge by how warmly it's embraced by consumers, many of whom have already switched to high-end devices like Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy S III, especially in North America and Europe.

"In the big picture, nobody, not even RIM knows whether this is going to work for them," cautioned Charter Equity Research analyst Ed Snyder.

Test versions of the BB10 have won praise from carriers and developers, but the true test still hinges on RIM's ability to win over fans of touchscreen devices.

"I want to regain market share in the U.S. and I want to win back market share in the full touch segment - that's what the company is geared up to and that's what we are working toward," said RIM Chief Executive Thorsten Heins in an interview with CNBC on Friday.

RIM's second-quarter performance also reminded investors that the company still enjoys a strong franchise in emerging markets, where consumers have graviated to its reliable though outmoded legacy smartphones.

Even though RIM's aging line-up has lost ground in North America and Europe, the BlackBerry maker managed to top shipment and revenue expectations in its second quarter, thanks largely to strong sales of smartphones in countries like India and Indonesia.

"This performance is nothing short of shocking as RIM has found a formula to entice its global carrier customers to sell (its) product," said National Bank Financial's Kris Thompson.

On Friday National Bank Financial upgraded RIM's stock, while BMO Capital Markets and Barclays Capital were among brokerages that raised price targets on the company's shares.

Thompson, who is rated five stars by Thomson Reuters StarMine for the accuracy of his estimates on RIM's earnings, upgraded the stock to "outperform" and increased his price target on the stock to $12 from $8.

Shares of RIM, which rose 20 percent after the closing bell on Thursday, were up 8.5 percent at $7.75 in afternoon trading on the Nasdaq on Friday. Its Toronto-listed shares rose more than 9 percent to C$7.57.

Factbox: Spain's 2013 budget and economic reforms

MADRID (Reuters) - Spain announced a timetable for economic reforms and a tough 2013 budget based mostly on spending cuts on Thursday in what many see as an effort to pre-empt the likely conditions of an international bailout.

BUDGET

Central government spending will be cut by 7.3 percent while revenues are forecast to increase by 4 percent, including a 14.6 percent increase in consumer tax revenues.

TAXES

Several tax breaks for companies will be removed.

New levies on energy will be created to promote the use of green energies.

A tax break on properties, a new levy on lottery gains, a new tax on short-term capital profits and a wealth tax will raise an estimated 1.7 billion euros.

SPENDING

Overall spending at government ministries will be cut by 8.9 percent, including a 25.4 percent cut at the agriculture ministry, 21.3 percent at the industry and energy ministry and 17.2 percent at the education ministry.

The government has pledged to keep unemployment benefit spending under control but did not give any further detail.

Wages of civil servants will be frozen for the third year in a row. Civil servants who retire will not be replaced except for one in 10 positions in key areas such as hospitals and schools.

The cost of servicing the public debt will increase by 9.7 billion euros or 33.8 percent in 2013 to 38.6 billion euros.

PENSIONS

Pension spending will increase by 4.9 percent, including a 1 percent rise in monthly pension payments. Government officials declined to say whether the government would eliminate inflation adjustments for pensions.

The government will present a new law by year-end to restrict early retirement.

Another law will also be put forward to make sure the pension system remains sustainable by changing parameters such as life expectancy.

The government also announced it would tap 3 billion euros from a 69 billion euro social security reserve fun to pay pensions in 2012.

REFORMS

An independent fiscal authority will be created in the first quarter of 2013 to oversee budget drafts and execution. This responds to a demand from the European Commission.

A series of structural reforms will be implemented in the next six months, including liberalizing further the energy, telecom and services sectors.

Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 Gaming Keyboard

If the Das Keyboard? is the Cadillac of keyboards (and it is), the MadCatz S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 is the Batmobile of keyboards. I've never seen so complicated or full-featured a gaming keyboard before, and at $299.99 (list) it better be. This has everything from an LCD screen and backlit keys to a modular design and customizable macros. Its only weaknesses are its extremely high price and its membrane keyboard design.

The Big Box
When you pick up the box the S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 comes in, you get a sense that this is going to be a big deal. When you open the box, you're assured of it. Instead of just one keyboard, all on its lonesome with nothing more than a screen and a few extra buttons, the S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 is a complex endeavor with two keyboards (one QWERTY, one number pad and macro key), a screen, a button panel, and three wrist rests, all of which are modular. That's its main appeal, and left-handed users will welcome it.

The QWERTY and number pad keyboards, button pad, and touch screen connect to each other through sturdy, flexible braided cables, and while you can hook everything up to its conventional layout (QWERTY keyboard on the left, screen on top of QWERTY keyboard, number pad keyboard connected to the right of the QWERTY keyboard), you can also mix and match the parts. The touch screen can attach to the top of the QWERTY or number pad keyboard, and the button pad can similarly attach to the left of either keyboard. Two wrist rests are plain plastic that snap into the keyboards, but the third has a thumb button and scroll wheel, and that can connect to the bottom of either keyboard as well. You can even move the number pad keyboard to the left of the QWERTY keyboard and separate it by a foot of distance with the included extra-long cable. If that's not enough, the S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 also comes with two sets of direction keys (one WASD and one arrow) that have rubber bumpers around them to make them more noticeable under the fingers, and a key removal tool for installing them.

It took me a few minutes to get the keyboard completely set up, and after that I had to grasp the fact that it needed a few seconds to boot up. The keyboard is completely nonfunctional without the touch screen plugged in to control the keyboard parts, and since it uses a big power brick to plug in, it can easily eat more than one socket on a power strip.

Once you plug all the parts together, screw them in using the included hex driver, and plug the touch screen into your computer's USB port and a wall outlet for power, you can get to the other main feature of the keyboard: the touch screen. You need to install both the drivers and control panel for the keyboard on your computer to take full advantage of it, but once you do the attractive TFT touch screen can serve several different purposes. It can launch programs, perform macros, adjust the keyboard backlighting (a full RGP selection with several presets and three color sliders), control music, show the time, set alarms, take notes, and even disable the Windows key. It also has full TeamSpeak controls for talking to your teammates during multiplayer games.

Customizable But Not Mechanical
The touch screen has eight physical buttons spread around the screen, including Volume Up/Down, Mute, Home (for the touch screen menu), and three preset buttons that let you switch modes on the keyboard, adjusting things like the backlighting. You can set the top mode to glow your favorite color and turn off the Windows key for your gaming, and set the middle mode to not glow at all and leave the key enabled for when you do other things. The mode is shown as a color, red (top), blue (middle), or purple (bottom) on the large MadCatz logo emblem to the left of the touch screen and above the Home key.

For features and functions, the S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 is the most impressive keyboard I've used. However, as a $300 gaming keyboard, it commits one crime that could be considered a dealbreaker for hardcore gamers and enthusiasts. It uses a membrane design instead of individual mechanical (preferably Cherry MX) keyswitches like the Das Keyboard. It means the keyboard is much quieter than a mechanical keyboard, but it also means it's less reliable and long-lasting. Mechanical keyboards tend to be virtually indestructible and immortal, while membrane keyboards are much more prone to failure after years of use. To be fair, the S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 feels very good for a membrane keyboard, and the keys seem significantly sturdier and more responsive than your average membrane keyboard, and MadCatz's documentation claims the mechanism they use have extremely close response levels to the "soft" Cherry MX Brown mechanical keyswitch. Still, purists might find the lack of mechanical keyswitches unforgivable.

Despite the membrane keyboard, the S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 plays extremely well. I loaded up Borderlands 2, and I found the customization options very intuitive and the keys responsive. I put the wrist rest with the thumb wheel and button on the left side of the QWERTY keyboard, and set the thumb button to activate my class skill and the thumb wheel to switch weapons. I put the additional button pad to the left of the QWERTY keyboard and set them to activate different tabs in my ECHO communicator (the menu screen). The keyboard was very responsive and the different buttons were extremely easy to set.

The MadCatz S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 is an expensive, complicated keyboard, but if you want something that's eye-catching, versatile, and friendly to left-handed gamers, it's impressive. No amount of touch screens and modular keyboard designs can reasonably justify the $300 price tag when you can get nearly indestructible mechanical keyboards or customizable one-piece gaming keyboards for a third the price, though. If you can spend as much on a keyboard as you can on a Sony PlayStation 3?, check out the S.T.R.I.K.E. 7. If you don't want to drop that much cash on a keyboard but still want an impressive one, get a Corsair Vengeance K90?, our Editors' Choice gaming keyboard, or a Das Keyboard Ultimate S, which you can use as a cudgel and still write a novel on it.

Brazil court orders YouTube to remove anti-Islam film

BRASILIA (Reuters) - A Brazilian court on Tuesday banned an online anti-Islam movie that spawned violent protests across the Muslim world and gave YouTube 10 days to pull the film's trailer from its website.

The decision by a state court in Sao Paulo, home to a large Middle Eastern immigrant community, came hours after Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff criticized "Islamophobia" in Western countries in a speech at the United Nations.

The lawsuit against the controversial film was brought by a Brazilian Muslim group, the National Islamic Union, against YouTube owner Google Inc for posting on the Internet a film it said was offensive and a violation of the constitutional right to freedom of religion.

In his decision, Judge Gilson Delgado Miranda said the case juxtaposed freedom of expression and the need to protect individuals or groups of people from action that might incite religious discrimination.

Miranda concluded that banning something illegal should not "offend" freedom of thought and expression, according to the ruling posted online by Estado de S. Paulo newspaper.

It wasn't the only Brazilian court ruling against Google on Tuesday. Earlier, an elections court ordered the arrest of Google's most senior executive in Brazil after the company failed to take down YouTube videos attacking a local mayoral candidate.

The legal challenges underline broader questions about Google's responsibility for content uploaded by third parties to its websites, such as the anti-Islam video, which mocked the Prophet Mohammad and sparked a wave of protests and violence in the Muslim world.

Fifteen people were killed in Pakistan during demonstrations over the video on Friday. People involved in the film, an amateurish 13-minute clip of which was posted on YouTube, have said it was made by a 55-year-old California man, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula.

Electronic Arts Buys Online Gaming Studio ESN, The Developers ...

Electronic Arts continues to beef up its cloud-based gaming offerings. Today it was announced that it is buying ESN, developers of the Planet web-based games framework, for an undisclosed sum. The two companies had already been working together, namely on Battlelog, an online social-web component for EA?s Battlefield 3. The news was announced on ESN?s blog.

?We couldn?t be more excited about this opportunity and the team is looking forward to focus all of its energy on DICE [EA's existing Swedish studio], Battlelog and the Battlefield series,? the company?s founders write.

In addition to the Planet framework for web applications, ESN has two other products for games developers looking to publish content on the web: Beaconpush and Sonar. The first of these, Beaconpush, is a push service for developers creating real-time web apps using HTML5 WebSockets and Comet. Sonar, meanwhile, is a?cloud-based hosted service, available via an API, that developers can use to integrate voice communication into their online games.

Taken together, this couldbe a sign that EA could use the platforms to bring in more third-partly publishers under the EA umbrella, but it could also be a way for EA to build up its own games. We understand from a source that EA is likely, at least at first, to use it more for the latter. EA has been using ESN?s technology for the Battlelog web component of Battlefield, and ?that?technology is very valuable to EA and its systems,? our source says. Nevertheless, it?s a small team of under 25 people and is unlikely to be a massive acquisition. The acquisition, we?ve heard, was actually completed back in June, but the companies only decided to announce it today.

We are reaching out to EA for a comment on how ESN will fit in with its strategy. The company has confirmed the acquisition to TechCrunch on the phone ? but it has declined to elaborate on how the acquisition will fit with its strategy, or how large the deal size is.

In the blog post announcing the deal, ESN also notes that it is on the lookout to hire more developers.

EA already had Dice in Sweden so this is a sign that the two will continue to work together in the country. We are reaching out to ask more questions, as well as to see if we can get more clarity on the financial terms of the deal.

Electronic Arts, which started as a games publisher for consoles, has over the last few years been trying to reposition itself to be closer to where its audience is moving: into online social and casual gaming and mobile. In that, it has had some run-ins with other companies also trying to keep strong positions in those spaces. It is currently suing Zynga, alleging that the social games maker?s The Ville is a ripoff of its Sims Social Facebook game.

Buying studios like ESN are a large part of how it hopes to continue beefing up its digital, online gaming business. In the last quarter, Q1 FY2013, EA noted that GAAP net revenues for its digital business were $342 million, compared to $592 million for net publishing packaged goods revenues.

The move to rethink its games as ?services? rather than packaged goods has also meant some restructuring, as CEO John Riccitiello pointed out in its quarterly earnings call in May. Just yesterday it was announced that it was closing the Dublin office of PopCap, making nearly 100 employees redundant, as part of a bigger re-org and downsizing of the Seattle-based studio, which EA bought in July 2011 for $750 million, with a potential earnout taking that to $1.3 billion.

In July, the company said that Q1 FY GAAP net revenues were $4.1 billion. EA expects to have lower GAAP net revenue in the current quarter, of between $3.90 to $4.05 billion.

Striving to Serve ? Deliberate Leadership and Self Improvement

I just finished Thou Shall Prosper for probably the third time.? I typically read it at least once a year.? The content, especially when it pertains to business, is superb.? Rabbi Lapin does an excellent job of helping the reader to understand the idea that all people are in a position of service.? It really doesn?t matter if you work for a private or public business, the government, or if you are unemployed.? If you at all interact with anyone, at any time, then you are in the business of service.? I love the concept put forth in the book that business is just the reimbursement for your services, plain and simple.? If you approach business in this manner, then you are never going to be on the side that compensation occurs for deeds not performed.? Many very successful business people are excoriated by those who do not understand this simple concept.?? Those individuals who make up the ?99%? do not understand this concept.? Your level of service, especially service that comes from the heart and soul, is your ticket to your livelihood.? Don?t squander it, and for goodness sake, don?t try to bring down those who discovered this concept long ago.

Village Voice being sold; Backpage.com left behind

DENVER (AP) ? The Village Voice is being sold, along with all of its affiliated free arts weekly newspapers, but the deal excludes the online classified site Backpage.com, whose listings have drawn fire for promoting the illegal sex trade.

The buyout is being led by Scott Tobias, the chief operating officer of Village Voice Media Holdings LLC. Tobias will become the new organization's chief executive.

He said he has lined up private financing to buy almost all of the Phoenix company's assets, which include LA Weekly and SF Weekly, from the current owners, Jim Larkin and Michael Lacey.

Larkin and Lacey will keep ownership of Backpage.com. Terms were not disclosed Monday.

Tobias said in an interview that controversy around Backpage.com "has been a distraction, there's no doubt about it."

"This is about two businesses moving forward," he said.

The purchase is being made by Voice Media Group, a new holding company based in Denver. The deal includes all 13 weeklies and their websites, the national sales arm and events such as LA Weekly's Detour and New York's Siren music festivals.

Tobias said Voice Media Group's publications will continue to focus on investigative journalism, coverage of food, arts, music and culture in the markets it serves. The company will also continue looking for new ways to serve readers on the Web and over mobile devices, he said.

The group's flagship newspaper Village Voice, launched in 1955, was the nation's first alternative newsweekly and remains among the largest. Founded in an apartment in New York's Greenwich Village, the newspaper is known for its coverage of the arts and culture, as well for its investigations into New York City politics. Over the years, it has won three Pulitzer Prizes.

In 2005, the company merged with Phoenix-based New Times Media.

Backpage.com, a digital descendant of the Village Voice's sometimes racy print classified ad listings, has become the nation's top forum for ads for "escorts," ''body rubs," and other thinly veiled references to prostitution since Craigslist.org shut down its adult services section in September 2010.

In July, three Washington state teenagers who said they were sold online for sex filed suit against Backpage's owners for allegedly enabling their exploitation. At the time, Village Voice Media said the suit wouldn't pass legal muster and is barred by federal law.

Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal called on Backpage.com in an open letter in March to "stop promoting and profiting from human trafficking" by shutting down its adult services section as Craigslist had done.

In a statement on the deal, Larkin and Lacey, the founders of Village Voice Media Holdings, said they were "ready to move on and hand the reins to a new generation of writers, editors and publishers."

Backpage.com will "become the centerpiece of a new online classified advertising company with business worldwide," the statement said.

The deal also includes Westword in Denver; New Times in Phoenix, Miami and Broward, Fla.; Houston Press; Observer in Dallas; Riverfront Times in St. Louis; City Pages in Minneapolis and OC Weekly in southern California.

Form how I went to the trouble of doing to enhance my home well ...

Before I discovered heal for our particular individual health care, I was inside of the same crisis nearly all women awakened to the fact that they were in, unclear and careworn. I had complained of low grit body system intensity for around a number of and half months. It goes without saying that that I have not heard what kind of illness I was tormented by. The first thing I have done seemed to be seek the world wide web to make sure they can know the illness connected with the warning signs I was having. I found out that I have not been the sole lovely lady with low grit body system intensity. There will be thousands probably countless young young girls and person female with low grit body system intensity.

The next stride I carried seemed to be visiting my specialist who created his own illness i.e. he have not heard the same thing that i complained of. Symptoms of my property health care often is unclear with individuals of candida illness i wonder if at this point my specialist travvelled erroneous. He presented many oral antibiotics, and green. I knew that by the way my trouble seemed to be over realize out so it seemed to be beginning of another bad time. These medications presented us a remedy and thought, Well if it was fast. After a little several months, my low grit body system intensity got back! This period of time its warning signs were more difficult than earlier.

A number of good friends suggest me to seek out formula that by the way produced in order to help me heal due to trouble. And so i started my doctors and attempt learn that the formula. Thus I read about Zenerex and all referred information. Right now I seriously fascinated into digging more about Zenerx i assume that this formula can most help fix my trouble. For it on daily, I could help my figure to get saved. I seriously chance that whoever who may have an identical trouble as me could also perform their personal research that awesome formula.

I never gave up the fight against my property wellbeing begun trying to find other homeopathic techniques etc information about the illness. I found out that I could heal my my property health care in three methods. The first thing I have done out to heal my low grit body system intensity would be to change my food plan. I found that by the way the same thing that i seemed to be eating must have been a huge reason for my illness. I ended up overwhelming unhealthy food, well-mannered, useless items, sickly items and items containing booze and caffeine. I turn on out to refreshing organic benefits packed with citric lipids, and produce, and decreased my baby and salt intake. I should say also launched living urbane yoghurt. Soon during this food plan, I found that by the way my low grit body system intensity warning signs were disappearing.

The other situation I have done out to heal my property health care seemed to be using of herbs I discovered within my galley. What precisely herbs am I writing about? Garlic and Short Wood other oil to become strict. Garlic is surely an repellent booster-style and also contains anti-bacterial, a unique and antiviral properties. I beat a clove of garlic and applied it directly on my body system. Keep in mind that it stung but enabled. I should say also applied it being a suppository. Dingdong a clove of garlic, toughen its rise and enclosure inside of the body system. This very will smart but help heal my property health care.

Western Governor's University ? Measurable Academic Innovation ...

This is the second in a series of articles celebrating educational institutions that have achieved proven, measurable success with the integration of technology into their instructional processes. This week we look at Western Governors University and the empirical evidence that demonstrates how this technology-enabled academic institution has been an outstanding model of innovation.

The Back Story
WGU is a non-profit online educational institution chartered in 1996 by a coalition of 19 United States Governors seeking to address rapid population growth and confronted by limited public funds for educational services. The governors enlisted the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education and the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems to help design the newly envisioned university.

Five themes formed the underlying goals of the envisioned institution:

• Responsiveness to employment and societal needs.
• A focus on competency-based education.
• Expanding access.
• Cost-effectiveness.
• Development of a technology infrastructure.

The governors also insisted that WGU be affordable, flexible, and student-focused. They serve as many students as possible, across the spectrum of minorities, first-generation college students, students with modest or limited incomes, and those whose lives or geographic locations do not allow them to attend traditional, campus-based colleges. WGU is accredited by four of the regional accrediting institutions in the U.S. and has flourished into a national university, serving more than 30,000 students from all 50 states, yet remains non-bureaucratic and innovative.

The Technology
While WGU?s approach to higher education comprises innovations beyond just the technological, the technology is clearly at the core of their highly successful web-based model. Here are a few of the ways they have leveraged technologies to deliver and ensure a high quality experience for their students and facilitate meeting learning outcomes and retention:

• Built on a foundation of technology: WGU is a web-based university, built around the Courses of Study software that comprises their instructional delivery and management system.
  
• Flexible Course Delivery: Their online course delivery is the reason they can meet the needs of busy non-traditional students, making attending college and attaining a credential possible for busy working adults as well as the high school graduate whose situation makes it untenable to devote themselves to full time study, or travel to a ground university.
• A Competency-based Approach: One of the things that separate?s WGU from many other institutions of higher education is that course completion is based on demonstrating mastery of the subject matter through challenging assessments, and the traditional measure of ?seat time? plays no part in it. The faster you can complete your assessments, the faster you?ll graduate (and students pay for time instead of credits, so?the less time it takes to graduate, the less costly their degree is). Technology comes into play here because computer-based assessments are one of several ways in which those competencies are demonstrated.
• Learning Communities: Another support element provided by WGU are learning communities, facilitated through an online portal. There are two kinds of student learning communities: Program Communities, designed to build relationships between students and mentors and focused on expanding your knowledge in your overall field of study; and Learning Communities, which provide a virtual space where subject and assessment specific information can be obtained for use during competency development.
• Online Library: WGU?s Library includes nearly 100,000 eText books and is available 24/7, again made possible by technology and the Internet.

The Results
This is what it all comes down to, and Western Governors University has an impressive track record of measurable successes that testify to the impact of their approach. Here?s just a few of the results WGU can boast to prove out their institution?s effectiveness:

• The university?s current 13-month retention rate (the percentage of students who return after their first year) is 79%, which is higher than the average for U.S. public colleges and universities.
  
• WGU graduates perform well on national discipline-specific exams:
  • National Business Exams: The Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM) Professional in Human Resources (PHR) certification exam: National Average: 57% vs. WGU Average: 64%
  • National Teachers Exams -PRAXIS Math Exam : WGU pass rate: 74%; ?Percent of WGU students in top 15% Nationally: 37%
  • PRAXIS Elementary Education Pedagogy Exam:WGU pass rate: 81%; Percent of WGU students in top 15% Nationally: 23%
• What Employers Say About WGU Graduates:
  • 98 percent of employers rate WGU graduates equal to or above their counterparts who graduated from other colleges and universities.
  • 97 percent of employers rate WGU graduates? preparation for the workforce as good or excellent.
• Check out their ?Student Learning Results? page to learn more about their performance results.

Western Governors University continues to receive praise for its academic model and to enhance its reputation with employers for the emphasis on graduating highly competent professionals. US Department of Education Arne Duncan recently stated, ?While such programs [like Western Governors University] are now the exception, I want them to be the norm.? Not only is this technology-rooted model higher education delivering on the promise of education for their students, they are a beacon of innovative success and leadership amongst educational institutions.

Biz Stone and Ev Williams On Why Founders Should Err On The Side Of Saying Too Much

Evan Williams and Biz Stone are probably still best known for their roles in co-founding Twitter, but what many people in the general public don't realize is that Twitter was actually born as just a small project within a technology startup called The Obvious Corporation. In recent months, Williams and Stone (along with Jason Goldman) have shifted a good deal of their focus back to Obvious, making it into a very unique kind of company -- part incubator, part investment vehicle, part idea lab -- with the simple goal of "creating products that matter."

Solavei MVNO will pay you when your friends sign up, $49 a month all-in for those without any

Unlike regular mobile networks, virtual operators -- or MVNOs -- have none of those expensive cellular infrastructures to worry about. Newcomer, Solavei, (which rides atop T-Mobile) is using this freedom to focus in on its business model. Just out of beta, the provider is offering unlimited voice, text and data for $49 per month, or free. Free? Well, if you're silver-tongued enough to talk friends and family into signing up, too, you'll get $20 kickback a month for every three -- or "trio" as the marketing calls it -- that you convince. There are other bonuses and chances to earn money -- all obviously aimed at spreading the network's audience, and offsetting the lower overheads. You can also use your own unlocked phone, or buy one of the three that Solavei currently offers (HTC One X, Wildfire S and ZTE Origin). This isn't the first time we've seen such philanthropic approaches, and it might smack a little bit of MLM, but if your after an all-you-can eat mobile deal, and have a large group of friends, this could be a nice little earner. Still not sold? Perhaps the feel-good corporate video after the break will switch that up.

Having Any Perimenopause Symptoms? | Menopause Coach ...

I love this article.? It is clear that Jennifer makes her own choices about her body, even against her doctor?s advice if she feels it is not in her best interest.? She has a great attitude about perimenopause (and menopause) which helps to pave her way through this transition with grace and ease.?

If you have perimenopause symptoms, why not investigate the herbal suggestions in this article as Jennifer did.? You will want to do your research or contact an Herbalist who is experienced in that area.

Another solution is to read about and become familiar with what Dr. John Lee recommended.? By using a ?real? progesterone cream to balance the estrogen that you are still producing, you will alleviate many of your symptoms and challenges if you are estrogen dominant. ? Many women become estrogen dominant which puts everything way out of whack.? There is not one solution for every person.?

The Pause That Refreshes ? Written by Nashauna Drummond, Lifestyle Coordinator

In her mid-50s, menopause was not on Jennifer?s radar.? That was until early last year.? ?One day, I was sitting at my desk and I felt a very cold sensation run from the top of my head to my neck,? she told Flair of her first symptom.

?It felt like someone had put an ice cold towel over me and it felt nice. It happened at least 10 times each day for three weeks and it never occurred to me that it was menopause.?

One day, she mentioned it to her fianc? who told her that it sounded like cold sweat.? ?I thought, ?You know he could be right???? But if that?s what menopause was, bring it on!?

But then came the hot flashes accompanied by raging headaches.?? ?I didn?t consult my doctor because I knew he would recommend hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and having attended two major menopause medical conferences in the United States where all the world?s leading experts in the field agreed that HRT invariably led to extreme side-effects ? including heart disease, I was not going that route.

I spoke to older women, including my mom, and they recommended black cohosh, evening primrose and red clover capsules ? all natural supplements that minimize the symptoms.

I have been taking them since, along with vitamin E, and trying to eat healthier ? adding more broccoli and mushrooms to my diet.?

Although she didn?t know it at the time, Jennifer was actually peri-menopausal.? This is the stage before menopause when the ovaries gradually produce less oestrogen and which lasts until menopause when the ovaries stop releasing eggs.

??In January 2011, my period stopped but resumed in April, so I visited my doctor and he told me I was peri-menopausal.? You only become menopausal when your monthly cycle stops for 12 consecutive months. ? In October they became longer lasting ? seven to 10 days.?

?By November, Jennifer?s menstrual cycle again stopped, but resumed in February 2012.? This time they were unbearably long ? two-three weeks ? so she again consulted her doctor.

Hysterectomy

??He recommended a hysterectomy.? I wasn?t having it.? I never hated my periods.? ? She added she had heard many horror stories from women she knew and what they went through? with the hormone imbalance that not having your ovaries would lead to. ?

?So I didn?t like the idea.? I just asked for something to minimize the length of my periods.?

?Since May, Jennifer?s periods have again stopped and her hot flashes have intensified.? ?I will break into sweat at the most inopportune time,? she told Flair.

??I have a lot of friends who are doctors whom I have spoken to, so I am prepared to deal with it.? I also know a lot of women who didn?t take HRT.?

She added that since her first symptom, she has only experienced one violent rage which was associated with her headaches that make her very sensitive to noise.

??In the initial months of the hot flashes, I got agitated.? Now I feel a cool sensation.? Though my entire body feels hot, below my knees I feel a cool sensation like air-conditioning.? I?ve conditioned myself not to fan; I keep napkins to mop my brow and if I feel hot I will dab it lightly.? In the nights, it will be an on and off with the covers.? I hope it doesn?t get worse and hope I continue to ride it through comfortably.?

Her comfort level has also remained intact as it relates to her sexual urges which most women complain about, especially vaginal dryness. ?A lot of my friends complain that they get turned off from sex.? I have none of those issues.? I?m glad that I have a man who really understands the ageing process. He is totally understanding.

?Menopause for me is the pause that refreshes.? I am not dreading it, I have accepted it as yet another miracle milestone in a woman?s fascinating life.?

Do you have perimenopause symptoms?? This time in your life does not have to be a bad experience!? There are choices we have that our moms never had.? By changing your diet, exercising and reducing stress, your hormones will be in a better place.? Another solution for you to try is Progesterone Creme.?

As I said above, Dr. John Lee studied progesterone for years and since the estrogen drops in your body (for the majority of women) and progesterone decreases considerably, by adding a true progesterone creme, it will help to balance the estrogen that is still in your body.?
