TITLE II DESCENT AND DISTRIBUTION, WILLS, ESTATES OF DECEASED PERSONS AND ABSENTEES, GUARDIANSHIP, CONSERVATORSHIP AND TRUSTSPrev Next Section 2-902. [When Nonvested Property Interest or Power of Attorney Appointment Created.] (a) Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c) and in section 2-905(a), the time of creation of a nonvested property interest or a power of appointment is determined under general principles of property law. (b) For purposes of this part, if there is a person who alone can exercise a power created by a governing instrument to become the unqualified beneficial owner of (i) a nonvested property interest or (ii) a property interest subject to a power of appointment described in section 2-901(b) or (c), the nonvested property interest or power of appointment is created when the power to become the unqualified beneficial owner terminates. (c) For purposes of this part, a nonvested property interest or a power of appointment arising from a transfer of property to a previously funded trust or other existing property arrangement is created when the nonvested property interest or power of appointment in the original contribution was created.

Yep, I finally made the 30 pounds I wanted to gain after returning from the severe weight loss I suffered in England. Just Kidding. After last night’s 12 oz of prime rib, I may be pushing the pre-England weight (which I have never actually reclaimed). Really though, yesterday was supposedly a momentous occasion. I lived to the ripe age of thirty. So what do I have to account for my birthday? Approximately at 10:08 AM CST I passed the 30 year mark in age. I passed it at school preparing for legal profession. I spent 11 hours at school, my wife picked me up, we went to dinner at a steakhouse, and I ate so much I had to come home and go pretty much straight to bed. Does that sound old or what? I guess if we count the dozens of Facebook messages and comments, in-person birthday wishes, phone calls, and e-mails I guess it was a pretty good day. Thanks to Facebook, more people knew about the birthday than I would ever have imagined. Who would have thought Facebook would have changed our lives so much in a few short years of our existence? Really though, I am very appreciative of everyone’s sympathetic mourning. In all honesty, I really don’t feel any older than the day I returned from British soil in December 2000. The only thing physically I may have to mark any passage of time would be the deterioration of my eyes, which I attribute more to law school than I do to age. Age to a guy doesn’t really seem to matter. Unlike women who round it up to the nearest quarter century. (Kinda like guys losing weight in the mirror where women gain it). We wear the same clothes were wore ten years ago and think it really is ten years ago, and that we look it. It really was just another day for me with an excuse to go out to eat something beyond what we really should have paid for. Moving beyond the birthday, I have a couple of observations to make. Just some musing and thoughts I can provide, even if not from wisdom. This deals with more of quirky Oklahoma. I had to learn some more of the lingo recently and thought I would share. In church a few weeks back, I was asked to help sweep after classes was done. I agreed and was assigned to sweep each of the classrooms. Dutifully, I went to the janitor’s office and got a broom and dustpan thingy. Each of the classrooms though had carpet! After trying to sweep up the little chunks in the classrooms I finally just went and got a vacuum and then vacuumed each of the classrooms. I made a mental note that I needed to inform the Elders Quorum President that the classrooms have carpet and not floors for sweeping. A week or two later we are serving in the temple and find ourselves on the cleaning crew after the last endowment. As I go to the janitor’s office, the lady tells me to sweep the endowment rooms. I then walk towards the broom with a nagging knowledge that the endowment rooms have carpet. I thought, “Wow, these Oklahoman’s sure do things the hard way.” As I went to leave she asked me what I was doing. I said, “I am going to sweep the endowment rooms.” She then pointed at the vacuums and said, “Why don’t you take a sweeper, it will be a whole lot easier.” Suddenly, a light dawned in my aged mind and I said something like, “you mean you call vacuuming ‘sweeping’?” She nodded with a puzzled look and told me to go sweep. As I was sweeping the carpets with the sweeper, I wondered what they called the motion of using a broom on floors. Brooming? Scooting? Brushing? Scratching? I still don’t know. I was afraid of looking like an idiot to ask anyone. I will probably find out soon enough. “Brother Ross, will you go scoot the floors in the far hall for us?” I will be walking to the janitors office looking for something to do some scooting. Our sprinkler system continues to go in between the rain clouds. For the most part, much of the pipe is in place and most of the heads are on. In fact, most of the trenches are even filled in. But the rain keeps coming nearly every weekend and the poor sprinkler system people cannot seem to get it finished. Need rain? Put in a sprinkler system. Kinda like washing the car. Do it, and the rains come. I have continued to remove the concrete pad in the backyard. It has turned out to be a multiple month workout! Who would have thought a little 8′ X 12′ concrete pad would take 3 months to remove only half? As lazy as that makes me sound, let me add some flesh to this ‘pad’. It turns out that this little pad in the backyard has concrete 9 inches thick in places! Thank goodness the individuals didn’t have access to rebar, but they were kind enough to put a layer or two of fence in the concrete near the bottom. I purchased a 20 pound sledge hammer thinking I could have the thing done in a week. This long later, and I am only half done. I had to buy a spike to break the stuff apart. I had to pull out my little sledges to drive the spike. I had to dig around the perimeter of the pad so as I cracked it, it had somewhere to go. Once I get a crack, I have to take the spike to it and then hope the fence inside will break. As it slowly severs away, I have to bend it back and forth until the fence wire finally breaks. Then I heave the block to the side and start again. This process is painfully slow, exhausting, and in our humidity, draining. What really justifies my taking so long deals also with the garbage man. With these massive blocks of concrete, I have considerable weight problems. The garbage truck will not pick up a garbage can that weights more than roughly 100-125 pounds. So I can put about 2 cubit yards of concrete in the bottom and I am really pushing the limit. Any extra garbage on the top just might throw me over. There is more though. The garbage truck is like a stinky old man with a hernia though. If the garbage can is overweight, the driver has to rev up the truck to get the hydralics where they need to be. Doing this speeds up something inside the truck and the 3 minutes the truck sits on the side of the road trying to pick it up, or get it all the way upside down leaves a huge puddle of garbage ooze compressed from within the truck. It stinks, looks disgusting, and we pray for more rain. I have two garbage cans, but in the past month, two of them have been left for me to reallocate half the load to the other garbage can. Meaning, I lost two weeks in the last month alone where I could not send more concrete to the garbage cemetery. So my little pile beside the pad has continued to grow, week by week. I had another can rejected last Tuesday, so again this Tuesday, I cannot add more to the garbage going out. The sprinkler man decided not to use one of his trenches, so I must confess, it is filling up with concrete chunks. Anything smaller than about 4 cubit inches usually ends up in the trench now. When it is within about 3 or 4 inches of the top of the trench, then I fill it in. The extra dirt will be used to fill the gaping hole where my concrete pad was located. I am going to have to get a load of dirt in to fill this hole I am creating. Geez, if it isn’t one thing or another! Amanda warned me that it was not necessary the concrete pad be removed. Now I wish I had listened.

Because of a threat to national security, Google has removed imagery of US military bases from Street View, according to InformationWeek. The Pentagon said that Google (NSDQ: GOOG)'s Street Views is a threat to national security and made Google pull images taken on streets near U.S. military bases. Google complied with the governmental order, even though the images were taken from public streets. Was the government too hard on Google? As one forum member puts it, if it was taken from a public street, why should it be removed? If the government finds that there are security concerns, they should have added a gate or wall to prevent people from seeing it. Why would the government let the big Googlemapsmobile even take photographs around the place if this was a concern to begin with?

Japan is home to hundreds of animal cafes where guests are able to hang out with cats, rabbits, and even owls as they sip lattes and cups of herbal tea. These establishments give their patrons, often people who live in rented accommodation in urban areas, a chance to interact with animals that they would not be able to keep at home due to a lack of space or strict “no pets” clauses in tenancy agreements. In Korea, however, one particular cafe has upscaled the experience with something much bigger and fluffier than the common bunny, cat or pup. Check out this unique cafe which houses a pair of beautiful, friendly sheep! Located in the Hongdae district of Seoul, Korea, Thanks Nature Cafe is a quaint little cafe that has been attracting crowds with its unusual dwellers, a pair of white woolly sheep. The joint has been operating since 2011, but has been exceptionally busy since the beginning of this year simply because it’s the Year of the Sheep. ▼ The interior is stylish and cosy with lots of hints of nature, and scattered with sheep paintings and ornaments. ▼ Doesn’t look too different from a regular cafe, but… ▼ Tucked away in the outdoor seating section of the cafe is a little wooden pen that houses two adorable sheep! These are real sheep! And they’re not just for show. Visitors are allowed to interact with the animals and may even feed them some hay. The owner of the cafe, Mr. Kwang Ho Lee, personally cares for the sheep, diligently keeping their little house clean, and even taking them out for walks to ensure that they are active and healthy. ▼ The sheep freely roam about the premises of the cafe when it isn’t too crowded. ▼ The owner and his woolly pals. ▼ Check out these visitor reports! Sadly, unlike cat or rabbit cafes where their furry hosts hang around all year round, the sheep at Thanks Nature Cafe only join patrons for drinks during the cooler months of the year. Due to their thick coats and size, Mr. Lee sends them back to the sheep ranch when it gets too hot, and invites a new pair of woolies to his cafe when the weather turns cold again. However, even without their special stars, the cafe operates normally and attracts a healthy flow of customers with their menu of delectable waffles and beverages! If you’re interested in spending some time with the sheep, be sure to check their Facebook page before heading down to avoid disappointment!

(Second in a four-part series) When Elizabeth Warren, Teresa A. Sullivan, and Jay Westbrook, co-authors of the 1989 book As We Forgive Our Debtors: Bankruptcy and Consumer Credit in America, were charged by Rutgers Law School Professor Philip Shuchman with scientific misconduct in 1990, they quickly asked for an investigation to clear their names. Sullivan, who resigned earlier this month as President of the University of Virginia, “immediately asked [her] employer, The University of Texas, to investigate the charge,” as she told me in a letter I received by email from her on June 5, 2012. By 1990, all three co-authors–Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook–were well established fixtures in University of Texas academic and social circles. Sullivan was the Chairman of the Sociology Department at the University of Texas, and would soon become the Dean of Graduate Studies. Westbrook was a long-tenured member of the faculty at the University of Texas Law School. Warren, who taught at the University of Texas Law School from 1981 to 1987, had by this time moved on to the University of Pennsylvania Law School, a top ten school with great prestige. Warren’s former colleagues at the University of Texas took pride in her emergence as a rising legal star of the left, a reputation she carefully cultivated. According to some who have followed her career, she was considered a master practitioner of hard-nosed academic political tactics, and her critics in the genteel world of higher education were increasingly wary of her. It was in that environment that current President of the University of California system Mark Yudof (then Dean of the University of Texas Law School) and current University of Texas Dean of Graduate Studies, ad interim Judith Langlois, wrote the April 1991 report for the investigation that Sullivan requested. It was titled University of Texas Preliminary Inquiry Report: Scientific Misconduct Against Teresa A. Sullivan, Elizabeth Warren, and Jay Westbrook. You can read the full report, provided to Breitbart News by Teresa A. Sullivan here. The document, though riddled with errors, was accepted by University of Texas President William Cunningham on April 22, 1991, as conclusive evidence exonerating Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook from charges of scientific misconduct. Mark Yudof, co-author of the 1991 University of Texas Preliminary Inquiry Report: Scientific Misconduct Against Teresa A. Sullivan, Elizabeth Warren, and Jay Westbrook, is now the President of the University of California system The lack of serious scrutiny of Ms. Warren’s academic research has continued for the subsequent two decades. Questions about Ms. Warren’s empirical studies have not been fully explored, and specific policies she has promoted–in particular those that led in 2010 to the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act and its onerous Consumer Financial Protection Bureau–have been imposed upon the public. Breitbart News is not alleging that Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook engaged in scientific misconduct. We are, however, presenting evidence that suggests the 1991 investigation conducted by the University of Texas into the allegations brought by Philip Shuchman in his scathing sixty page review of the book Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook co-authored in 1989 was neither thorough nor exculpatory. In that review, Shuchman charged: This book contains so much exaggeration, so many questionable ploys, and so many incorrect statements that it would be well to check the accuracy of their raw data, as old as it is. But the authors arranged matters so that they could not provide access to the computer printouts by case, with the corresponding bankruptcy court file numbers, this preventing any independent check of the raw data in the files from which they took their information. The 1991 University of Texas Preliminary Inquiry Report fails to answer Shuchman’s charge that “the authors arranged matters…preventing any independent check of the raw data.” Though Shuchman implies this “arrangement” may have been deliberate, he has no specific basis for the suggestion, other than the suspicious nature of the facts. The effect of the decision by the co-authors was clear, however. It became virtually impossible for other scholars to check their data. In addition, the 1991 University of Texas Preliminary Inquiry Report fails because there are at least five specific factual errors contained in this brief three page report that purportedly “exonerates” Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook. The National Science Foundation (NSF) plays a role in this investigation because it funded the research upon which Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook’s 1989 book was based with a grant in the amount of $109,999 to principal investigator Teresa A. Sullivan, and co-principal investigators Jay Westbrook and Elizabeth Warren for a study of “Consumer Choices in Bankruptcy: Statutory Intentions and Statutory Consequences.” The data in this study formed the basis for the 1989 book. Research began around September 1, 1983 and continued for about three years thereafter. The University of Texas at Austin was listed as the sponsor of the grant. Factual Error 1: “NSF has subsequently dismissed Shuchman’s complaint (see letter of March 6 from NSF Office of Inspector General) The Facts: The March 6, 1991 letter from NSF investigator Montgomery Fisher to Teresa A. Sullivan did not constitute dismissal of Shuchman’s complaint of scientific misconduct by the NSF. March 6, 1991 letter from Montgomery Fisher at NSF to Teresa A. Sullivan Instead, it focused narrowly on Shuchman’s request for “access to the original data” used in the study. NSF investigator Montgomery K. Fisher simply confirmed in this letter that he had communicated to Professor Shuchman that Elizabeth Warren and her co-authors were willing to provide a list of the cases they sampled: “Prof. Sullivan also says that the names and court file numbers are not, and have never been, part of the file. (There was apparently some misunderstanding regarding the applicability of HHS’s Human Subjects regulation; as you observed in note 249 of your article, this project was probably exempt from the regulation.) They are willing, however, to provide you a complete list of the cases they sampled, should you desire to verify each datum. In these circumstances, I believe Profs. Sullivan, Westbrook, and Warren have demonstrated sufficient willingness to comply with NSF’s policy in favor of openness of scientific communication.” [emphasis added] It was not clear, however, why the authors had not simply documented and archived their data so that others might replicate their results. Factual Error 2: “Many of the bankruptcy cases were more than ten years old.” The Facts: The data set was from 1981, which was exactly ten years prior to the 1991 University of Texas Preliminary Investigation Report. None of the data set was “more than ten years old.” The cases were not “resolved” in some instances until several years after 1981. Factual Error 3: “We conclude, along with NSF, that Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook did not violate any policy of scientific openness, nor did they engage in scientific misconduct.” The Facts: At the time the April 1991 University of Texas Preliminary Inquiry Report was written, NSF had come to no conclusions on either the matter of scientific openness or the matter of scientific misconduct. NSF did not come to any conclusions regarding the Shuchman allegations until three months later when a sole investigator wrote a closeout memo on July 2, 1991. The closeout memo, like the March 6, 1991 letter before it, did not address allegations of scientific misconduct. Instead, it focused on the narrow question of data sharing and scientific openness. Curiously, in circumstances that will be examined in more detail later in this series, the author of the memo notes that in his personal judgment Shuchman’s allegations did not meet the NSF definition of misconduct: My examination of [redacted, most likely ‘Shuchman’s’] review (which was published at [redacted] (1990)) and letters made it clear that the allegations regarding the substance in the book do not meet the NSF definition of misconduct. (As subsequent articles in this series will show, it was NSF policy at the time to undertake investigations of allegations of scientific misconduct on the basis of an investigation conducted by a team of experts rather than an examination conducted by an individual investigator.) Factual Error 4: “To have provided Shuchman with identifying information would have violated the investigators agreement with our IRB [Institutional Review Board] and with their granting agency, NSF.” The Facts: To the contrary, the NSF closeout memorandum dated July 2, 1991 stated clearly “[i]n her letters [redacted, but probably ‘Teresa A. Sullivan’] had given the impression that the identifiers for the data base against the [redacted] file it had been coded from, existed but that she could not provide the database to [redacted, but probably ‘Philip Shuchman’] with those identifiers included because of HHS’s Human Subjects Regulation (45 CFR part 46).” The NSF called Sullivan’s argument on this matter “bogus, because (A) on the cover sheet of the proposal the [Principal Investigators–Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook] had stated the proposal was exempt from the HSR under 45 CFR section 46.101 (b) (3) and (B) it was in fact exempt under 45 CFR section 46.101 (b )(5).” (Emphasis added.) Sullivan’s failure to disclose this significant change in the methodology to the funding agency, NSF, was problematic at best, and may possibly have been a violation of the original terms of the grant. Indeed, the NSF closeout memo is quite critical of the authors’ approach to verification of the data used in the study: When I talked to [redacted but most likely ‘Teresa A. Sullivan’] however, she said that the identifiers were excluded from the database from the start, because of the interpretation of the HSR by [redacted but most likely ‘The University of Texas’] Institutional Review Board. Thus, they were not refusing to provide the database with the identifiers: they couldn’t because the identifiers weren’t put in to begin with…It is unfortunate that their IRB erroneously compelled them to omit useful information from the database, rendering verification of their data exceedingly difficult.”[emphasis added] One scholar who reviewed this excerpt from the NSF closeout memo, and who spoke exclusively to Breitbart News, noted the impact Institutional Review Boards can have on academic research, suggesting that they have significant power to protect information on human subjects–even when dealing with public records. Factual Error 5: “[T]hey [the authors] had an agreement with IRB (and therefore, the National Science Foundation) to treat the information as confidential.” The Facts: Sullivan, Westbrook, and Warren may have had an agreement with the IRB (the University of Texas Institutional Review Board), but the funding agency–NSF–was not party to that agreement. NSF did not learn of it until after Shuchman’s complaint was filed and the NSF inquiry was initiated. Besides these five factual errors made in the report, this 1991 University of Texas “investigation” was also flawed for the critical and obvious question it failed to ask: Did Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook intentionally misinterpret HPP federal regulations on “protection of human subjects” in order to persuade the Institutional Review Board of the University of Texas to impose what they knew to be uncalled-for constraints on the use of primary data for the purpose of making the data set unverifiable by other researchers? A more thorough report would have interviewed the members of the University of Texas Institutional Review Board and questioned them as to why no one had apparently bothered to reconcile the University of Texas’s regulations with the conditions of the NSF grant. Here’s how Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook described their methodology, which sampled data from 1981 bankruptcy filings from the 15 federal district courts in the three states of Pennsylvania, Texas, and Illinois in their 1989 book: “Because existing data were inadequate, we had to collect data on the characteristics of bankrupt debtors, their assets, their liabilities, their jobs, their marital status, whether they were homeowners, and so forth. This decision meant we would have to gather an enormous amount of information. We coded over 200 variables for each of 1,529 debtors, generating over 300,000 pieces of information.” (page 342) Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook went on to describe their crucial decision–a decision that was unknown to the funding organization, NSF, until after it began to investigate Professor Shuchman’s allegations of scientific misconduct: “[A]ll the data were coded by someone with at least a basic understanding of bankruptcy law and procedure. Every coder–indeed every person associated with the project–signed an agreement promising to hold confidential any information acquired about any individual. Although the files we used are public documents, the petitioners, lawyers, and judges had become, for the social scientist, human subjects, and we used normal safeguards for the protection of human subjects. These safeguards included the use of identifying numbers rather than names on all the data tapes prepared, and careful storage, under lock, of any data with identifying information. The names of all debtors and some creditors in this book are pseudonyms.” (page 350) Despite an invitation to Warren and her co-authors from officials at Rutgers University and the editors of the Rutgers Law Review to defend themselves publicly against charges of scientific misconduct Shuchman made in his 1990 Rutgers Law Review article, neither Warren nor co-authors Teresa A. Sullivan and Jay Westbrook have ever publicly defended themselves against Shuchman’s charges in an academic journal. They did, however, as subsequent articles in this series will demonstrate, use the cover provided by the University of Texas whitewash report to encourage the unsuccessful attempts by the University of Texas and the University of Pennsylvania to put pressure on Rutgers University to force Professor Shuchman to recant. June 23, 1992 letter from Rutgers Provost Samuels to Texas Provost Monti Both Teresa A. Sullivan and Jay Westbrook continue to defend their 1989 work vigorously, while Ms. Warren has failed to respond publicly in any way on this matter. In a recent email to me, Professor Westbrook stated: Concerning the Shuchman article. The allegation of scientific misconduct was false and was found to be false in two independent investigations supported in substance by two universities and the National Science Foundation. The specific claims made by Professor Shuchman about the validity of our data conclusions were obviously wrong, but were part of the usual academic debates about emerging research. Any suggestion the claims were more than typical academic disagreements would be factually false. The many positive reviews of our book in leading legal and scientific publications speak for themselves as does the fact that our work is generally regarded as part of the bedrock of contemporary study of consumer bankruptcy in America. Professor Westbrook’s claim that “the many positive reviews of our book in leading legal and scientific publications speak for themselves” doesn’t tell the entire story of the book’s reception by academic peers. It is worth noting that most of these positive reviews were written by academics with little or no expertise in bankruptcy law. One positive review in Science Magazine was only a page and a half long. The author, Ramona Heck, specializes in home based employment and the family. Another favorable review, mentioned specifically in Teresa A. Sullivan’s letter to me received by email on June 5, 2012, was written by Dr. David Caplovitz, who was described in his 1992 New York Times obituary as a “a sociologist and an authority on American spending habits and misleading sales practices.” All three nationally recognized experts on bankruptcy who reviewed the book–Shuchman of Rutgers Law School, Marjorie Girth of SUNY Buffalo Law School, and economist Michelle White of the University of Michigan–gave it negative reviews. In the final two articles in this series, we will explore the unanswered questions posed by those reviews, as well as the institutional failings of the National Science Foundation and Harvard University and the roles they played in this unfolding scandal.

Stripey love knit tunic - 09/2011 Striped Top #108 Added Mar 9, 2012 The perfect toss on and go knit top sewn using the 09/2011 Striped top #108A pattern. I wasn’t sure if I’d like the high neckline but it works great with a scarf. I didn’t bind the neckline – I attached clear elastic to the wrong side of the neckline using my serger, then folded the neckline edge to the wrong side and stitched in place. The only other change I made was shorten the sleeves to a 3/4 length, which I prefer over a long sleeve. Blogged about it here Gold and black striped jersey knit, thread, clear elastic, serger

The Communications Decency Act of 1996 (CDA) was enacted to regulate online speech, and in particular, to protect minors from “patently offensive,” “obscene,” and “indecent” content on the Internet. In the 1997 case Reno v. ACLU, however, the Supreme Court struck down many of the CDA’s content-related proscriptions, concluding that they violated the First Amendment by “suppress[ing] a large amount of speech that adults have a constitutional right to receive and to address to one another.” Among the CDA provisions spared by the Court’s ruling was Section 230, a provision designed to “promote the continued development of the Internet” and “to preserve the vibrant and competitive free market… for the Internet and other interactive computer services, unfettered by Federal or State regulation.” To these ends, Section 230 provides, among other things, that “no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” Section 230 also contains a broad preemption clause, providing, with certain exceptions discussed below, that “no liability may be imposed under any State or local law that is inconsistent with this section.” The direct beneficiaries of Section 230 have been “interactive computer services”—a term encompassing a wide variety of companies that aggregate, arrange and host user-created content online, including blog- and photo-hosting sites, news sites, social networks, classifieds, auction sites and consumer ratings services. In these contexts, Section 230 has frequently provided complete immunity in litigation arising from third-party content. Accordingly, companies operating in this space should be aware of Section 230’s basic contours and key limitations. Since its enactment, courts have construed Section 230 broadly to create a federal immunity to any cause of action that would make websites and online service providers liable for content originating with third-party users. This immunity has foreclosed liability in a wide variety of cases, including in the following: - In a 1997 decision in Zeran v. America Online, the 4th Circuit held that Section 230 provided America Online with a complete defense, on a motion for judgment on the pleadings, to liability for allegedly defamatory content posted by third parties on its online bulletin boards. - In Gentry v. eBay, the California Court of Appeal held in 2002 that Section 230 insulated eBay at the demurrer stage from negligence and unfair competition claims arising from a third party’s sale of forged autographs. - The 9th Circuit held in its 2003 decision in Carafano v. Metrosplash.com that Section 230 applied at summary judgment to absolve an online dating service of liability for defamation, negligence, and privacy torts arising from a false profile created in the name of an actress. - In a 2009 decision in Nemet Chevrolet v. Consumeraffairs.com, the 4th Circuit held that Section 230 applied on a motion to dismiss, immunizing Consumeraffairs.com against defamation and tortious interference claims based on third-party consumer reviews. These cases underscore the breadth of Section 230 immunity, but there are limits. Perhaps most critically, Section 230 immunity does not apply if a defendant was (or, at the motion to dismiss stage, is adequately alleged to be) “responsible, in whole or in part, for the creation or development” of the content. As an example, in a 2006 case, Anthony v. Yahoo! Inc., the Northern District of California applied this limitation, on a motion to dismiss, to foreclose immunity for Yahoo against allegations that it emailed to the plaintiff the profiles of former subscribers to induce him to renew his subscription. Because the plaintiff had challenged Yahoo’s “manner of presenting the profiles” rather than “the underlying profiles themselves,” the court concluded that Section 230 did not apply. Similarly, in 2008, the 9th Circuit withheld Section 230 immunity when Roommates.com required users to express their preferences regarding potential roommates’ gender, sexual orientation and family status with a drop-down menu, allegedly in violation of the Fair Housing Act. The court ruled that, “by requiring subscribers to provide the [unlawful preference] as a condition of accessing its service, and by providing a limited set of pre-populated answers, [Roommates.com] becomes much more than a passive transmitter of information provided by others; it becomes the developer, at least in part, of that information.” Notwithstanding cases such as Roommates.com, defendants do not sacrifice their Section 230 immunity by performing so-called traditional editorial functions. As a New Jersey state court explained in 2005, “deleting profanity, selectively deleting or allowing to remain certain postings, and commenting favorably or unfavorably on some postings, without changing the substance of the message authored by another, does not constitute ‘development’ within the meaning of § 230(f)(3).” But because the line between immune editorial activity and non-immune content “creation or development” may not always be obvious, online companies should tread carefully. Finally, there are certain areas of law into which Section 230 cannot reach. By its own terms, Section 230 does not limit certain federal criminal statutes, “any law pertaining to intellectual property,” or the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. Construing the “intellectual property” exception, in 2001, the Southern District of New York refused to grant immunity to a web host, Mindspring Enterprises, against federal and state trademark infringement claims arising from third-party content on one of the websites it hosted. On the other hand, the 9th Circuit, in Perfect 10, Inc. v. CCBill LLC, concluded that the “intellectual property” exception encompasses only “federal intellectual property,” meaning Section 230 may be available, in some jurisdictions, as a defense to claims under state intellectual property law. Online companies should be aware of these statutory exceptions, as well as other potential gaps in Section 230’s protections. In summary, although Section 230’s broad immunity is not unlimited, the statute has given online companies the freedom to innovate and to facilitate speech online—without the specter of facing liability for content created by third parties. These protections have also earned Section 230 an important place in the litigation practitioner’s toolkit.

Browse by Medical Category Tuesday, December 3, 2013 Walter Guralnick, DMD, a retired former Chief of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) at Massachusetts General Hospital, was recently honored for his contribution to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department at the Medical College in Chengdu, China. In 1979, Dr. Guralnick and his wife Betty made their first trip to China, which had recently opened up after President Nixon’s visit. Later that year, Dr. Guralnick and Betty returned to travel with a team of doctors around China teaching and giving lectures about topics in dentistry, e.g., temporomandibular joint and orthognathic surgery and caries prevention with fluoridation. While Dr. Guralnick lectured to and operated with Chinese surgical colleagues on a host of congenital and acquired jaw and facial deformities, Betty, a trained Social Worker, instructed students and staff in patient assessment and life in the United States. Dr. Guralnick also helped his colleagues and the Chinese government to start a very successful dental health program in China. When the Chengdu Dean of Dental Surgery and his colleagues travelled to Boston in early 2013, they presented Dr. Guralnick with a medal at a banquet ceremony and displayed photographs of their newly completed museum, a section of which has been devoted to Dr Guralnick for his many years of service to their institution. Read Dr. Guralnick’s own account of his work in China here.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -- Cristiano Ronaldo netted two goals and set up another to power Real Madrid's blistering attack to a 5-0 demolition of Valencia in the Spanish league on Sunday, while Atletico Madrid chipped into Barcelona's lead by maintaining its perfect record at home. Madrid decided the match by halftime with doubles by Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria after Gonzalo Higuain had opened the scoring. Atletico, meanwhile, eased to a 2-0 win over Levante despite losing striker Radamel Falcao to injury for its 11th win in 11 home games this season, breathing an inkling of life into the title chase. Atletico took advantage of Barcelona's first league defeat of the season the day before to reduce the gap to the pacesetters to eight points. Madrid's best performance, and arguably the best first half played by any team in Spain this season, of its otherwise trouble-filled league campaign left Jose Mourinho's team in third place 15 points adrift of Barcelona. Madrid finally resembled the side that strolled through the league last season en route to the championship with a record haul of points (100) and goals (121). "We made the game easy by pressuring them hard from the start,'' said Di Maria, whose season had been subdued until Sunday's match. "We played a great game. On a personal level, I played well and shut a few mouths.'' Madrid had already beaten Valencia 2-0 just five days before in the first leg of their Copa del Rey quarterfinal. The two teams will meet for a third time in nine days on Wednesday in the return leg. Valencia's collapse was complete. Its attack was toothless, its midfield sloppy with the ball, and its defense uncoordinated and repeatedly undone with the simplest of through passes into wide open spaces behind its back line. Madrid, however, was brutally efficient, quick to recover the ball and clinical in its finishing whether on the break or elaborating an attack against a set defense. "They were completely superior to us,'' said Ernesto Valverde, who had guided Valencia to four wins in five league games since taking over as coach. "Madrid has an extraordinary counterattack. Each counterattack was a clear chance for them. After the 1-0 we still weren't done, but when the 2-0 and 3-0 came so quickly we just fell apart.'' Higuain got Madrid rolling in the ninth minute by making up for an earlier miss when he trailed Di Maria and fired his back pass beyond goalkeeper Diego Alves. After Sami Khedira had squandered a pair of clear looks on goal, Ronaldo doubled the visitors' advantage in the 35th by running onto a long pass, cutting back- first to his right, then to his left- to give Di Maria time to arrive on the far side before crossing for the winger to tap home. Just seconds after the restart Valencia was again retrieving the ball from its net after Madrid robbed the ball and in two passes left Ronaldo sprinting free to stab the ball between Diego Alves and his near post to make it 3-0. The flurry of goals left Valencia and the fans at Mestalla stadium shell-shocked. And Madrid just kept pouring it on. Ronaldo whipped in a vicious volley in the 41st after Mesut Oezil had deftly knocked down Di Maria's lobbed pass. And just before the halftime whistle Di Maria was inexplicably left unmarked on the break to take a pass from Oezil and casually slip the ball under the helpless Diego Alves. Ronaldo's brace gave him 18 goals in the league, tied with Falcao. Barcelona's Lionel Messi leads the competition with 29 goals through 20 rounds. Elsewhere, Osasuna beat visiting Deportivo La Coruna 2-1 to move off the bottom of the standings and sink its rival into last place, while forward Oscar Gonzalez scored one goal and set up another to steer mid-table Valladolid to a 2-0 home win over Real Zaragoza. Earlier at Vicente Calderon stadium, Adrian Lopez broke through for Atletico by capping a team buildup in the 32nd minute. Jorge "Koke'' Resurrecion then put the result beyond doubt in the 61st, four minutes after Falcao walked off clutching the upper part of his left leg. Atletico coach Diego Simeone said Falcao would be sidelined for around three weeks. Simeone's Atletico, whose excellent season has been overshadowed by Barcelona's apparently unstoppable march toward reclaiming the domestic crown, is on a club-record run of 18 consecutive home wins in all competitions. It has also outscored its visitors 17-0 in its last six league matches. "Numbers are important, but we can't pause to admire them,'' Simeone said. "The most important thing is to keep going forward game by game until we see how far we can go.'' On Saturday, Barcelona fell 3-2 at Real Sociedad. Also, it was: Malaga 1, Celta Vigo 1; Getafe 1, Sevilla 1; and Granada 2, Rayo Vallecano 0. Espanyol edged out Mallorca 3-2 on Friday. Real Betis hosts Athletic Bilbao on Monday.

At some time in ancient Chinese history a powerful nation—the Qidan in what is now Inner Mongolia—simply disappeared. Where did these people go? A question that has perplexed scholars for generations may now be solved thanks to DNA. Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS) and others from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region have concluded that the modern-day Daur people have a genetic match to the Qidan of ancient China, making them possible descendants of the Qidan people. One of 56 ethnic groups in China with a population of some 121,500, the Daur today mainly live in Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang and Xinjiang where they traditionally have engaged in agriculture and hunting, but now also maintain their own industries. Liu Fengzhu, a researcher with the Nationalities Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences which first began using DNA technology in its research in 1995, in a recent telephone interview talked about the discovery. The research team first identified Qidan tombs from inscriptions on memorial tablets. From the Yelu Yu family tombs, they extracted DNA from the skull and teeth as well as carpal bone from Qidan woman corpse. At the same time, blood samples of Daur, Ewenki, Mongol and Han people in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region were collected. From the blood samples, the researchers extracted DNA. After sequence testing, they concluded that people of Daur ethnic group are all descendants of Qidan nationality. Researchers also found possible links to the Qidan in other regions. They collected blood samples of the people with surnames of A, Mang and Jiang and other ethnic groups in Yunnan Province, who previously had claimed themselves descendants of Qidan rather than the ethnic groups such as Blang and Yi with which they were categorized on the founding of the People’s Republic of China more than 50 years ago. "We found that the people in Yunnan Province with surnames of A, Mang and Jiang have similar patrilineal origins with Daur, so we identified them as descendants of Qidan, too," Liu said. The more than 100,000 people with surnames of A, Mang and Jiang who live mainly in Baoshan and Ruili districts of southwest Yunnan were particularly pleased that the DNA test substantiated their earlier claims. Qidan was a nomadic tribe in ancient north China, living on fishing and hunting. They came into power in the last years of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) as people from central uplands who brought with them advanced agricultural and manufacturing technologies. In the year 916, Yeluabaoji, the chief of the Qidan nationality, became the first emperor of the Qidan State. The Qidan created their own written characters and had an official name of "Liao Dynasty (916-1125)," when many ethnic groups banded together. Records about the Qidan nationality suddenly stopped in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), together with its culture, and what happened to them has remained a matter of speculation. Liu Fengzhu believes the Qidan people were scattered through war, which explains the presence of their descendants in different areas of China. Liu said the Qidan, like many other groups, would have faced recruitment as soldiers by the Mongols in the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368) as they established the Great Mongol Empire which stretched over Europe and Asia. “Some continued to live in a big group, such as Daur, so they are preserved. Some were assimilated by the people where they came live, just like ice in the sea. But those in Yunnan Province managed to keep the memory of the original ethnic group.” Actually, the fate of the Qidan is not so unusual, Liu said. Similar cases can be found among other minority groups. For example, some Uygur people (a major ethnic group of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region) now live in Taoyuan County of Hunan Province.

story in the OWH about whether or not Ben Nelson will run for reelection in 2012. First various talkers predicted (as no doubt directed) that Ben will run again. Then again, Tony Raimondo also told us way back when that he would be a lifelong Republican, so take it for what it’s worth. But then note the names Robynn Tysver listed as being interested in a Senate bid, along with Bruning, Flynn and Stenberg: State Auditor Mike Foley and Rep Jeff Fortenberry. Now we are still of the belief that either Foley or Fortenberry may run, but not both. So for one, the fact that either is listed means that there is still some serious consideration going on. However, we and many other had pretty much marked Fort off the list. Well, that is unless Nelson decides not to run in 2012. In which case the floodgates may open, and someone like Fortenberry would be much more likely to run. And again, the fact that the OWH printed that each of those two is interested means that there is some serious consideration by each. Not to mention, who the OWH may back. Then there was Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle on his media kvetching tour -- first there was Channel 6, then KFAB, and now his woe-is-me to the OWH. And who is really taking the brunt of this Recall business? Well, the Mayor says, that would be his nine-year-old grandson. (Of course maybe the Mayor should direct Sonny towards Captain Underpants instead of the blogs.) But here is an idea: Shouldn’t the Mayor resign now, instead of subjecting the boy to all this pain and anguish? (Hey, he invoked his grandson, not us.) And for Roget’s sake Aida, please hand the Mayor another cliché instead of “nose-to-the-grindstone”. He is giving worn-out phrases a bad name. Sounding like a broken-record. You get the picture. And we are still hearing rumblings about the various candidates who may or may not get into the race, should the Mayor fall in January. Of course many of the names are all based on whether or not the GOP Elephant in the room, Hal Daub, gets in or not. If he is out, you will probably need a Rolodex to keep track of all the interested candidates.

Well, I doubt it would hurt. Seriously though, my brother had almost the exact same problem and we assumed it was the hdd also but we tried reseating everything and it fixed the problem.

By Jacob Stockinger Yesterday I explained that I had not replied to so many kind and generous reader comments because I was recently out of the country on vacation for a two-week visit to family. But I did not say where. That’s no surprise, I suppose, in hindsight. There were beautiful, well-cared-for flowers everywhere, bright colored and beautiful flowers in window boxes (below), in house gardens, in public parks, even in traffic roundabouts. I have seen similar sights in France and even in the city of Marquette, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. But nothing compared with Germany. The world could use more flowers. Of course, there is a lot of classical music that evokes flowers, especially songs. But I first heard the lovely and melodic Schumann piece during a performance by Vladimir Horowitz, who programmed it often. It reminds of the same composer’s charming “Arabesque,” Novelettes” and “Night Pieces” as well as some sections of his suites made up of the suite “Scenes of Childhood,” “Kreisleriana,” “Fantasy Pieces” and “Carnaval.” Schumann (below, in a photo from 1850) was one of the composers with the greatest gift for evoking nature – the French composer Debussy also excelled – and when you see the flowers of his native land, you understand their influence on him. (You can also find other readings, including one by the great Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter, on YouTube.) So, here is the great Vladimir Horowitz playing Schumann’s “Blumenstuck” in New Haven in the 1960s, in an interpretation that was a bit more lively and engaging, to my taste, than a later one in the mid-1970s. I hope you enjoy it with the same pleasure that both the music and its original inspiration gave me:

Holiday ‘Cheer’ and Depression Don’t Mix Toasting the holidays with a festive cocktail is a tradition for many. A glass of wine or other alcoholic drink can lower inhibitions and help us relax, or temporarily relieve the stress of a difficult event. URMC Therapist Kevin Coffey warns, if you’re feeling blue in the midst of the merrymaking, think twice before downing a few drinks. Alcohol may actually make you feel worse. You may be surprised to learn that alcohol is a depressant. Many people think the opposite because drinking gives them a “pick-me-up.” The truth is that alcohol depresses your central nervous system and brain. That temporarily blunts the effects of stress hormones. But it also slows your coordination, reaction time, and intellectual ability. When the alcohol wears off, there's a rebound effect, bringing on more stress and depression than you felt before the first sip. Alcohol and Depression: A Devious Duo Both men and women can have problems with depression and alcohol. With men, the alcohol use usually comes first. Alcohol impacts two brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) linked to depression—serotonin and norepinephrine. The more you drink and raise your blood alcohol content, the more this negative effect increases. In fact, symptoms of depression may occur with blood alcohol content levels as low as 0.03—about one to two drinks. Switch to Soft Drinks If you have any symptoms of depression, skip the alcohol and toast with a soft drink. Depression is a serious health problem that’s on the rise in the U.S. In the past 15 years, the number of people seeking treatment for depression has doubled. Left untreated, it can lead to other health problems and even suicide. If these symptoms hit close to home, you may be depressed: Sleeping more or having trouble sleeping Overeating or loss of appetite Not enjoying things that used to bring you pleasure, including sex Irritability, feeling hopeless or helpless Feelings of worthlessness Reoccurring thoughts of death, including thoughts of suicide Where to Turn for Help If you have any of the symptoms of depression, get help. Your primary care physician is the best place to start, but not always the quickest. For help in finding a provider, click here If you are having suicidal thoughts, it is a medical emergency. Get help right away. In the Rochester area, contact Lifeline at (585) 275-5151, or get to the nearest hospital emergency department. The good news is that depression is very treatable. The most effective approach combines medication and talk therapy. Lori Barrette |

Cheesecake Factory, IBM Team Up To Crack The Code Of Customer Bliss Consider the following entirely fictitious but totally plausible scenario: A diner at the Kuwait City branch of The Cheesecake Factory restaurant chain complains to his waiter that the pickles in his Americana Cheeseburger (American and cheddar cheese, crunchy potato crisps, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, pickles and secret sauce) had a funny texture. The waiter instantly offers to replace the dish, since The Cheesecake Factory is committed to "absolute guest satisfaction," according to Donald Moore, chief culinary officer for The Cheesecake Factory Inc. So the diner opts for the Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich (crispy coated chicken breast covered with melted cheese and either spicy Buffalo or chipotle mayo, served on a brioche bun), and subsequently reaches the company's desired level of satisfaction. That very same day, diners at Cheesecake Factory outposts in Wauwatosa, Wis., Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., and Pembroke Pines, Fla., also complain about the texture of the pickles on their burgers. Are these hypothetical experiences related in any way? And even if they are, is there any way that the people at The Cheesecake Factory's factory would ever learn of these events and connect them together? In the future, the answer will be yes, according to Angela Nardone, chairman and chief innovation officer of N2N Global. Nardone's company has partnered with IBM to use tools for analyzing big data sets to help the restaurant chain look for potential problems like this. With more than 170 outlets, 300 menu items, and something like a thousand different fresh ingredients from dozens or hundreds of suppliers, Nardone explains, The Cheesecake Factory is blessed/cursed with a lot of data. The new software would allow the company to track whether the pickles all came from the same supplier, and whether other outlets were experiencing the same problem without yet being aware of it. Normally, says Nardone, finding out something like that, never mind doing anything about it, can take weeks. With the big data analytical software, she says, the problem can be spotted and solved within a day. "The new system can work bottom up or top down," says Nardone. The software might detect a pattern in complaints from the field, as in my fictitious scenario, or a supplier could contact the restaurant chain about a problem with a particular ingredient, and the new software could rapidly disseminate that information to local branches. And while the system wasn't implemented with public health in mind, it would certainly simplify tracking the culprit in cases of an outbreak of foodborne illness. "We have talked with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about this," says Nardone. This complex new data analytics system may seem like a fairly expensive way to prevent the occasional mushy pickle from appearing on a burger. But as Atul Gawande wrote in The New Yorker, The Cheesecake Factory does seem to have an extremely high commitment to smooth operations and customer satisfaction for the more than 80 million people it serves each year. But "absolute guest satisfaction"? I have to admit, that quest seems a bit quixotic to me.

College Offers Scholarship for Twitter 'Essay' At the University of Iowa, a good tweet is worth $37,000. That's the price of a full scholarship, and that's exactly what a student hopeful can win in a contest the university has dreamed up that takes electronic communication to a new level. The university is asking prospective students to submit a 140-character tweet in place of a second essay. The University of Iowa is joining several others in its attempt to make students get to the point quickly and to improve their social media skills — two qualities that today's Twitter-savvy marketplace demands. - Kentucky Fried Chicken offers a Colonel's Scholars Twitter scholarship for $20,000 over four years based on a tweet responding to "tell us in 140 characters why you deserve a $20,000 scholarship." The competition received 2,800 applications last year, says Rick Maynard, KFC spokesman. - Scholarship.com, an organization to help students find money for college, offers the Short and Tweet Scholarship, which asks applicants to sum up their college experience in a tweet to win $1,000 or a Kindle. - The 140 Scholarship, presented by College Scholarships.org, a website to help students search for funding, looks for a tweet highlighting how to use Twitter to improve the world. The winner receives $1,400, and the first and second runners-up receive $140, according to the website. At the University of Iowa, the person with the best tweet by the July 28 deadline will receive a full scholarship to the university's business school. Applicant Seth Goldstein of Columbus, Ohio, submitted his tweet last week and said he was excited for the "fun, unique challenge." "It is something different and out of the box," Goldstein said. "No other MBA schools I have applied to have anything like this." Jaron Lanier, author of You Are Not A Gadget: A Manifesto, says he doesn't support the idea. "They're devaluing their future, because they're identifying themselves with a fad rather than something more long term," Lanier says. "It comes off as a school trying so hard to be cool." Jodi Schafer, the University of Iowa's director of MBA admissions and financial aid, says that application essays were becoming unoriginal and often highly edited. "We're hoping that incorporating social media in the process will help bring back some of that creativity," Schafer says. Students are encouraged to link to their blogs, videos, Facebook accounts or anything else that may help answer the question: "What makes you an exceptional Tippie Full-time MBA candidate and future MBA hire?" University of Iowa alum Kinzie Dekkenga has considered going back to school for a few years, but "life got in the way," and it wasn't until she saw the scholarship offer on Facebook that she decided it was time to apply. "I saw it and I thought, 'Oh my gosh! Why not?'" Dekkenga said. "Taking the burden off the 800-word-essay was a huge incentive. I am on social media almost every day, so it's more comfortable to tweet than to write an essay." Dekkenga worked on the tweet for five days. "It turns out … having to simplify your thoughts down was much harder than I thought," Dekkenga said. "I sat on the Twitter page and just kept typing things, but I was always 100 or 200 characters over."

Miners’ Rescue Dominates News Interest Jump in Attention to Midterm Election News Summary of Findings The dramatic rescue of 33 Chilean miners trapped underground for more than two months dominated the public’s news interest last week, while the media focused on both the miners’ saga and the midterm Congressional elections. With the Nov. 2 elections fast approaching, the percent of the public tracking election news very closely jumped to 33% from 23% one week earlier. According to the latest News Interest Index survey conducted Oct. 14-17 among 1,002 adults by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, Republicans continue to follow election news more closely than Democrats or independents. Currently, close to half of Republicans (47%) say they are following this news very closely, compared with 32% of Democrats and 26% of independents. The week of Oct. 7-10, 31% of Republicans said they were following news about the midterms very closely, compared with 21% of Democrats and 20% of independents. While the public appears increasingly attentive to election news, four-in-ten say they followed news about the rescue of the miners – heavily covered and broadcast live on television – more closely than any other news last week. Nearly two-in-ten (19%) say they followed news about the economy most closely; 15% say they followed news about the elections most closely. For its part, the media devoted 28% of coverage to the midterm elections and 21% of newshole to the drama that unfolded in Chile, according to a separate analysis by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ). Roughly 12% of coverage focused on the still-struggling economy – about 8% on the economy in general and 4% on the foreclosure issues causing new problems for the housing market. About half of the public (49%) says they followed news about the rescue of the Chilean miners very closely. That’s greater than the 33% that said they very closely followed news about a deadly explosion in a West Virginia coal mine this April and comparable to the 47% that said they followed news that closely about the deaths of 12 miners in a West Virginia mine in January 2006. Women generally paid closer attention to the developments in Chile than men: 55% say they followed this news very closely, compared with 42% of men. More than four-in-ten (42%) say they followed news about the economy very closely, while 19% say this was the story they followed most closely. About a quarter (26%) say they followed news about foreclosure problems very closely, while 6% say this was the news they followed most closely. A third (33%) say they followed news about the midterm elections very closely, 15% say this was the news they followed most closely. Nearly four-in-ten men (38%) say they followed election news very closely, compared with 28% of women. About two-in-ten of the public (19%) say they followed news about Obama administration plans to lift the ban on deep-water oil and gas exploration put in place after the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. The story accounted for 3% of coverage; 5% say this was the news they followed most closely. Two-in-ten (20%) say they very closely followed news about a federal judge’s decision to block enforcement of the government’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy concerning gays in the military. This news accounted for 3% of coverage and 3% say this was the news they followed most closely. While young people generally say they are following key news stories less closely than older people, that is not the case with the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” story. More than two-in-ten (22%) of those ages 18-29 say they followed this news very closely, compared with 17% of those age 30-49, 19% of those age 50-64 and 24% of those 65 and older. These findings are based on the most recent installment of the weekly News Interest Index, an ongoing project of the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. The index, building on the Center’s longstanding research into public attentiveness to major news stories, examines news interest as it relates to the news media’s coverage. The weekly survey is conducted in conjunction with The Project for Excellence in Journalism’s News Coverage Index, which monitors the news reported by major newspaper, television, radio and online news outlets on an ongoing basis. In the most recent week, data relating to news coverage were collected October 11-17, and survey data measuring public interest in the top news stories of the week were collected October 14-17, from a nationally representative sample of 1,002 adults. About the News Interest Index The News Interest Index is a weekly survey conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press aimed at gauging the public’s interest in and reaction to major news events. This project has been undertaken in conjunction with the Project for Excellence in Journalism’s News Coverage Index, an ongoing content analysis of the news. The News Coverage Index catalogues the news from top news organizations across five major sectors of the media: newspapers, network television, cable television, radio and the internet. Each week (from Monday through Sunday) PEJ compiles this data to identify the top stories for the week. (For more information about the Project for Excellence in Journalism’s News Coverage Index, go to www.journalism.org.) The News Interest Index survey collects data from Thursday through Sunday to gauge public interest in the most covered stories of the week. Results for this survey are based on telephone interviews conducted under the direction of Princeton Survey Research Associates International among a national sample of 1,002 adults living in the continental United States, 18 years of age or older, from October 14-17, 2010 (671 respondents were interviewed on a landline telephone, and 331 were interviewed on a cell phone, including 157 who had no landline telephone). Both the landline and cell phone samples were provided by Survey Sampling International. Interviews were conducted in English. The combined landline and cell phone sample are weighted using an iterative technique that matches gender, age, education, race, Hispanic origin, region, and population density to parameters from the March 2009 Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey. The sample is also weighted to match current patterns of telephone status based on extrapolations from the 2009 National Health Interview Survey. The weighting procedure also accounts for the fact that respondents with both landline and cell phones have a greater probability of being included in the combined sample and adjusts for household size within the landline sample. Sampling errors and statistical tests of significance take into account the effect of weighting. The following table shows the error attributable to sampling that would be expected at the 95% level of confidence for different groups in the survey: In addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind that question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of opinion polls.

Nicholas A. Basbanes, a regular contributor to Fine Books & Collections has a nice article this month about the Brattle Book Shop in Boston. The title of the article claims "oldest bookstore in America," and Basbanes traces its origins to 1825. In my collection of ephemera, I have a book dealer's calendar from 1901. His name is W.F. Tenney and his calendar advertisement states "old books bought and sold." His shop was located at 26 Brattle Street. Could Tenney have been neighbors with the Brattle Book Shop? Were they the only book dealers on Brattle St. or was there a lively book community in that area? On Brattle Street, in Scollay Square, the Brattle Book Shop was born and christened by its location. There it thrived until the 1960s when it succumbed to area redevelopment projects and relocated. No telling whatever came of Tenney. His business may not have been around to see the 1960s. Perhaps it continued under another name or was purchased by another dealer. At least for awhile, around the turn of the last century, there were a couple of book shops on Brattle St. in Boston for collectors to find old books.

4 Common Startup Mistakes To Avoid Posted on July 25, 2012 by nina Published by Fast Company With all the startups I’ve seen, and I’ve coached over 700 by now, I’ve become somewhat of an expert on common mistakes startups make. So when I find someone doing it right, I like to share. Thomas Franchise Solutions is like no other startup I’ve worked with. Peter Thomas, the founder, is not a twenty-something. He is a mature, visionary leader, a man who has learned from his own experience as a serial entrepreneur how to start and run a company aligned with his personal values. He’s very blunt about telling you what those values are: health, happiness, freedom, and integrity. After retiring, he spent the last decade giving workshops and training others in values-based leadership. He donates the proceeds to charity. That’s why, when he came out of retirement this year to start another company (he was bored), he was able to raise $13 million from friends and acquaintances to capitalize it. When he started making phone calls to raise money, he had already avoided the four most common startup mistakes: lack of a clear business model, insufficient market knowledge, not investing in human capital, and taking too much money. Have a clear business model: Thomas picked a business at the intersection point of two industries he knew well, franchising and real estate. Real estate is a large part of the expansion of a franchise, because most of them involve brick and mortar. His experience bringing Century 21 to Canada and becoming involved with a massage franchise gave him the franchising experience, while the fact that he developed a luxury hotel in Arizona gave him depth in real estate. He had the business model: find franchisors of a certain size and experience who need to get to the next level, inject some capital into their businesses, and provide the strategic expertise along with the capital. Thomas Franchise Solutions, I’d guess, is a new kind of cross between a private equity firm, a VC and a consulting firm.. The business will have several revenue streams: return on the capital invested, and in cases where the franchisor isn’t ready for investment, strategic advisory services Do your market research:Thomas’ first hire spent months exploring the market, actually looking at the competition and what they were doing, examining all the problems of small business finance, and making sure capital was the gating factor for the expansion of franchises. When the company launched, he was sure it would have customers from a numbers perspective. Hire and develop the best people: At his stage in life, Thomas has no desire to do the grunt work, but he wants the end result to reflect his values. So he engineers that in from the get-go by surrounding himself with the best people. Not only are these people smart, but they are independent. They are not all “hired” either; some are assembled as a boardroom of equals, already independent, who will work on projects where they are needed. This is not the same as outsourcing things that aren’t part of your core competency–rather, it is bringing people to the table who may not be necessary full time, or who prefer not to have jobs. Don’t take too much money: The $13 million fund, known as Fund 1, is a minimum viable product, now testing customer acceptance before TFS goes for a $100 million fund in three years. Thomas decided to do the initial market test to determine whether this is the best way to bring the franchise business model into the 21st century. As an entrepreneur with outside investors, he tells his team that its job is to minimize the investors’ risk. A novel perspective. To bring a diverse group of inside and outside people together and put them on the same page so they can collaborate and develop into a team takes both vision and leadership. But in the three months that TFS has been conducting due diligence on its initial deals, I’ve watched the group come together. I’m beginning to think that successful entrepreneurship might take a blend of generations.

White Sox - 100 000 010 - 2 7 0BIG PAPI Walkoff HR! Red Sox - 010 001 001 - 3 7 1 Wakefield was brilliant (7-6-1-1-3, 94) and David Ortiz hit two home runs! The game-winning blast was clubbed down the right field line, plenty high and deep enough, and it stayed fair -- his first walkoff dong since September 12, 2007. Boston's other slugger -- Alex Gonzalez -- hit a solo shot in the sixth. And Victor Martinez's night of dealing with the knuckleball was a complete non-event. It was never an issue. ... Plus, 21 of Wakefield's first 22 pitches (and 27 of 30) were strikes. The Yankees beat the Rangers 9-2, so Boston stays 6 GB in the East. The Rangers fell 2.5 GB Boston in the Wild Card. The Blue Jays scored twice in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Rays 3-2 and drop Tampa 4 GB in the WC. Gavin Floyd (3.98, 118 ERA+) / Tim Wakefield (4.31, 110 ERA+) Wakefield returns from the DL (lower back and left calf) for his first start since July 8. His pitches shall float like a butterfly while the Red Sox bats sting like a bee. A big fookin' nine-stinger stabbin' bee. Well, maybe an eight-stinger bee, since Seabass will be in there. Brave Victor Martinez will be behind the plate: I'm really looking forward to it. I've had a chance to catch four or five of his [bullpen sessions]. ... I'm pretty excited. ... You don't have to look pretty catching it. You just have to make sure that you catch it.Since Wakefield's mobility in somewhat uncertain, Tito will go with strong gloves at the corners: Kotchman 1B and Yook 3B, with Tiz DHing. Also: Rangers (Holland)/Yankees (Pettitte) at 7 PM.

At the end of the film “Miss Congeniality,” the FBI agent who has masqueraded as a Miss America contestant, admits she agrees with the rote refrain of the others, saying, “I really do want world peace.” Everybody says they “really do want world peace,” while knowing it won’t happen. For a long time, the best available substitute for world peace was the Cold War. The atomic bomb had imposed the possibility of “mutually assured destruction,” and that was reality, not a pious hope. So long as the United States and the Soviet Union could destroy one another, they would back off from confrontations that could lead to the use of nuclear weapons. Perhaps that did not create a golden era with the sun shining all over the world, but it worked. Not only did the two super powers stop short of directly going to war, they also restrained other countries from actions that might drag the two major players and the world into a war too horrible to imagine. The threat of nuclear war served as the guarantor of world peace. While some countries were relegated to the sidelines, many others found themselves in the orbit of one super power or the other. Armed and financed by their patron, they had little ability to act independently. Then, the Cold War ended. It looked like the United States was the only remaining super power as it witnessed the breakup of countries, including the Soviet Union. Smaller countries would pose no threat to the United States and presumably, they would be unable to unleash nuclear warfare. The American peace would be an extension of the ability of the United States, during World War II and even during the Cold War, to use its undeniable military and economic power to impose its will on much of the world. Why do Americans now feel a sense of weakness and inability to control events? American power in the world seems to have dissolved. In a highly partisan political climate, it is easy to blame President Obama. His personal style, soft-spoken and sometimes hesitant, seems to favor limits on American action and invite others to disturb the peace. Sen. John McCain, the Arizona Republican who lost to Obama in 2008, almost never misses the chance to propose militant reactions to world events and to criticize the president for not taking his advice. Even if you might want more assertiveness from Obama and less from McCain, that may miss the point. It’s possible there are no more super powers, a fact that may be difficult for Americans to accept. Since the beginning of the Twentieth Century, Americans had grown use to calling the shots, but now frustration has replaced self-confidence. Look at the Ukraine, Syria, and Israel-Hamas. War rages in all three areas, and the United States seems unable to do anything about these conflicts except to propose cease-fires, which turns out to be a bit like saying, “I really do want world peace.” The Ukraine is torn between Russia, its historic boss, and Western Europe, which offers an opportunity for prosperity. Because the economies of Russia and Western Europe are intertwined, Western Europe took quite a while to agree with the U.S. that Russia should suffer from real sanctions. Finally, the downing of the Malaysian plane got it to act. In Syria, torn by war, the Russians like the current regime and the Americans don’t. Without a real alternative, the U.S. cannot force a resolution. And the conflict in Syria has deprived Hamas, which controls Gaza, of the backing essential to maintain its conflict with Israel. It is now engaged in a last-ditch, almost suicidal, effort, and Israel responded by going to war in hopes of finishing off Hamas. The U.S. cannot even achieve a ceasefire. None of this is particularly healthy, and it is a poor substitute for peace. So long as nobody is shooting at Americans, which could become a possibility in the next couple of years after the troops leave Afghanistan, why should all this matter to us? The political partisan divide reflects an underlying sense of unhappiness in the country. And that results partly from a recognition that the U.S. role in the world, as the dominant power, has eroded and perhaps been lost. Recognizing the world has changed, leaders on both sides of the aisle could seek a new definition of America’s role. The goal would be to develop a consistent policy, attuned to the 21st Century and aimed at restoring American self-confidence in world affairs.

Hyperoxia-induced lung injury in gamma-glutamyl transferase deficiency is associated with alterations in nitrosative and nitrative stress Klings, Elizabeth S., Lowry, Matthew H., Li, Guihua, Jean, Jyh-Chang, Fernandez, Bernadette O., Garcia-Saura, Maria F., Feelisch, Martin and Joyce-Brady, Martin. (2009) Hyperoxia-induced lung injury in gamma-glutamyl transferase deficiency is associated with alterations in nitrosative and nitrative stress. American Journal of Pathology, Vol.175 (No.6). pp. 2309-2318. ISSN 0002-9440Full text not available from this repository. Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.2353/ajpath.2009.081017 γ-Glutamyl transferase (GGT) regulates glutathione metabolism and cysteine supply. GGT inactivation in GGTenu1 mice limits cysteine availability causing cellular glutathione deficiency. In lung, the resultant oxidant burden is associated with increased nitric oxide (NO) production, yet GGTenu1 mice still exhibit higher mortality in hyperoxia. We hypothesized that NO metabolism is altered under severe oxidant stress and contributes to lung cellular injury and death. We compared lung injury, NO synthase (NOS) expression, nitrate/nitrite production, nitroso product formation, peroxynitrite accumulation, and cell death in wild-type and GGTenu1 mice in normoxia and hyperoxia. The role of NOS activity in cell death was determined by NOS inhibition. Exposure of wild-type mice to hyperoxia caused increased lung injury, altered NO metabolism, and induction of cell death compared with normoxia, which was attenuated by NOS inhibition. Each of these lung injury indices were magnified in hyperoxia-exposed GGTenu1 mice except nitrosation, which showed a diminished decrease compared with wild-type mice. NOS inhibition attenuated cell death only slightly, likely due to further exacerbation of oxidant stress. Taken together, these data suggest that apoptosis in hyperoxia is partially NO-dependent and reiterate the importance of cellular glutathione in lung antioxidant defense. Therefore, reduced denitrosylation of proteins, possibly resulting in impaired cellular repair, and excessive apoptotic cell death likely contribute to increased lung injury and mortality of GGTenu1 mice in hyperoxia. |Item Type:||Journal Article| |Subjects:||R Medicine > R Medicine (General)| |Divisions:||Faculty of Medicine > Warwick Medical School > Translational & Systems Medicine > Metabolic and Vascular Health Faculty of Medicine > Warwick Medical School |Journal or Publication Title:||American Journal of Pathology| |Publisher:||American Society for Investigative Pathology Inc.| |Official Date:||December 2009| |Page Range:||pp. 2309-2318| |Access rights to Published version:||Restricted or Subscription Access| Actions (login required)

Lawton's May Re-Open in New Lawrence Location; Lawrence Famous Frankfurters to Open in Old Lawton's Space It look like a decades-old hot dog stand in Lawrence that recently closed may be opening in a new location within the city, and a new hot dog place will be opening in the space where Lawton's used to be. According to the Eagle-Tribune, the owner of Lawton's, which had been at the corner of Canal Street and Broadway for approximately 80 years until closing over the winter, is hoping to re-open the place at the corner of South Union Street and Jamaica Street, with the new name being Lawton's Famous Frankfurters. The article states that if all goes as planned, the new Lawton's will look much like the old one, albeit with an upgraded interior and a little more space. The spot where Lawton's used to be is going to become a new eatery called Lawrence Famous Frankfurters, which will feature hot dogs as well as sausages, salad wraps, BBQ chicken, lobster rolls, and more. For more information on the opening of these two hot dog stands in Lawrence, please go to the Eagle-Tribune link below. Weiner wars: Landlord reopening Lawton's hot dogs under new name Thanks to a poster on Chowhound for bringing this to our attention.

Stocks Hit Highs While Uncertain Credit Union Members Continue to Save The Dow Jones industrial average in recent days has ended a surge that the markets hadn’t seen in 17 years. For some, it was one more sign that the nation’s economy may be continuing to move along the road to recovery. Industry watchers said the Dow’s ascension, which started at close to 14,254 on March 5 and peaked at 14,514 on March 15, was fueled by several factors, including a spike in gas prices. Investors may have either been spooked by the record rise or made some adjustments to their portfolio mix. For credit union members, who tend to err on the side of conservative, the Dow’s increase might have aligned with their savings, which were up in January, according to CUNA Mutual Group’s March Credit Union Trends Report. The timing of the Dow’s record movement coincides with the latest update from an initiative between CU Solutions Group and SaveUp. According to the Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates, which owns CU Solutions Group, SaveUp is a free rewards program that encourages consumers to make positive changes to their financial behaviors. More than 40 credit unions have signed on with SaveUp since the alliance launched six months ago. Every time members contribute to their savings or retirement accounts, pay down their credit cards, mortgages or other loans or engage with SaveUp’s financial education content, they earn credits they can use to win prizes from sponsors such as Virgin America, Banana Republic and GameStop, as well as a $2 million jackpot, CUSG said. For the $737 million Northeast Credit Union in Portsmouth, N.H., SaveUp has served several roles particularly with certain member niches and their spending and long-term planning goals, said Andrea Pruna, vice president of marketing at Northeast. “SaveUp is a great innovative tool to engage with the Gen Y market, reward positive member behavior and help plan our marketing tactics using its incredibly useful data reports,” Pruna said. Unlike their baby boomer counterparts, Gen X and Gen Y have a bit more time to plan for retirement. To target these younger members, SaveUp recently released its first U.S. Consumer Savings and Debt Report with its major findings focused on the financial habits of Gen X and Gen Y. With Gen X, average mortgage debt was $181,706, which was 21% above the U.S. average. Average student loan debt and credit card debt were $44,270 and $8,801, respectively. Gen Y had less debt averages, according to SaveUp. The average mortgage debt was more than $161,000, which was 7.5% above the U.S. average. Average student loan debt and credit card debt were $40,273 and $4,113, respectively. “Our recent data report shows that young people are bearing a disproportionate share of the country’s non-asset debt, and if credit unions can engage younger Americans to offer them better terms, and longer term financial services, there is a real benefit to all sides,” said Priya Haji, CEO and co-founder of SaveUp. Meanwhile, despite the Dow’s winning streak and more consumers paying down debt, retiring comfortably remains elusive for some. According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute’s Retirement Confidence Survey, released on March 19, the percentage of workers confident about having enough money for a comfortable retirement is essentially unchanged from the record lows observed in 2011. While more than half expressed some level of confidence, with 13% being very confident and 38% somewhat confident of being able to afford a comfortable retirement, 21% were not too confident, and 28% were not at all confident. The latter figure is the highest level of those not at all confident recorded during the 23 years of the survey, EBRI said. One reason that retirement confidence has remained low despite a brightening economic outlook is that some workers may be waking up to just how much they may need to save, according to EBRI. Asked how much they believe they will need to save to achieve a financially secure retirement, a striking number of workers cited large savings targets: 20% said they need to save between 20% to 29% of their income and 23% indicated they need to save 30% or more. “Aggressive as those savings targets appear to be, they may not be based on a careful analysis of their individual circumstances,” said Jack VanDerhei, EBRI research director and co-author of the report. “Only 46% report they and/or their spouse have tried to calculate how much money they will need to have saved by the time they retire so that they can live comfortably in retirement.”

The Intensity Scale (sometimes called the Gray Scale) not only controls the contrast within all displayed images but it also controls how the Red, Green and Blue primary colors mix to produce all of the on-screen colors. The steeper the Intensity Scale the greater the image contrast and the higher the saturation of displayed color mixtures. So if the Intensity Scale doesn't follow the Standard that is used in all consumer content then the colors and intensities will be wrong everywhere in all images. In order to deliver accurate color and image contrast a display must closely match the Standard Intensity Scale. Figure 3 shows the measured Intensity Scales for the Tablets alongside the industry standard Gamma of 2.2, which is the straight black line.

Common Skin Conditions: Fine Lines and Wrinkles Creases. Furrows. Crevices. Cracks. No matter what you call them, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process. So, what causes wrinkles? As we get older, our skin becomes thinner and less supple, and its ability to protect itself from damage is also diminished. From smoking to sun exposure and even smiling, there are many possible causes of wrinkles.1 Whether you see them as markers of milestones or a sign of the mileposts behind you, wrinkles are a beautiful expression of who we are and where we have been—even still, most of us would prefer to keep them to a minimum. How can I prevent them? Wrinkles affect everyone as they age, but where and when they appear is largely up to you. Limiting sun exposure, or wearing long sleeves and hats when outside, is the best way to help maintain your youthful complexion a little longer. The importance of applying a sunscreen such as our award-winning, PABA-free Nu-Derm® Sun Shield Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50 cannot be overstated for its ability to keep signs of skin aging at bay, now and down the road. Dry skin, often made worse by sun exposure, can also make the appearance of wrinkles look more prominent. Make it a habit to carry a reusable water bottle with you, and sip it constantly. Add a squeeze of fresh citrus like lime, lemon, or even orange to give your water a kick of flavor and some power-packed Vitamin C. What can I do to get rid of them? Unfortunately, wrinkles are just a part of life. Instead of trying to wage an all-out war on them, we suggest starting each morning with something you actually can control: a quick beauty trick that can help tighten the appearance of your skin. Fill a small basin with cold water and ice cubes, and dip your face in for 5 to 10 seconds. Doing this will help to shrink the appearance of pores and reduce under-eye puffiness.2 Follow that with a 10-minute facial massage to stimulate skin cells and tighten the appearance of the skin. Moisturizer has inherent plumping properties that temporarily smooth out the skin, so be sure to apply your favorite every morning. At bedtime, try a targeted eye-area product such as Obagi ELASTIderm® Eye Cream to help diminish the appearance of pesky crow’s feet, fine lines, and wrinkles around the eyes. A humidifier and a good night’s rest can also work wonders to help keep the stresses of the day from showing up on your skin. As you may have guessed, the key to flawless skin is really you: your discipline, your ability to stay young at heart, and your selection of just a few of the right products to bring out the best of every milestone you’ve achieved. Protect and bring out your natural radiance for years to come by incorporating these steps into your daily beauty ritual. References: 1. Cosmetic procedures for wrinkles.

Wyoming News interviewed Dancing With The Stars Sharna Burgess about the “Ballroom With A twist” show coming up in Cheyenne, Wyoming February 1st. She talks of why the show is a “beautiful experience” for how unique it is for fans and herself. Below is more. Be sure to read more at the link. Also, if you haven’t read our new interview with Gleb Savchenko, be sure you do as he talks a little on the show as well other fun things in getting to know him. Here’s to Saturday Night, Gleb and Sharna!! “It is a beautiful experience to perform one night to a live audience. Once that show and that moment are over, it’s gone, and that makes it very special,” she said. Burgess will be joined by fellow “Dancing With The Stars” coach Gleb Savchenko and an all-star cast that includes performers from “American Idol” and “So You Think You Can Dance.” It all comes together for a night of different styles and music that Burgess said gets everyone out of their seat. “The show is so unique. It brings competitive pros from all over and mixes them up. We perform everything from hip-hop to waltzes, samba and contemporary,” she said. Burgess is originally from Australia but was working on Broadway before being discovered by “Dancing With the Stars.” An accomplished choreographer, she appeared on the series twice, first with comedian Andy Dick and later with former NFL wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson. Burgess will be performing two solo numbers as well as a few with a group during the show. She said she was looking forward to dancing with other professionals who loved the craft as much as she does. She said it was a whole new set of challenges and excitement from her role on TV. “We did judge dance numbers, which were great, and I love teaching, whether that is celebrities or anyone else,” she said. “But I know the cast on this tour really well, and I can’t wait to get out there with them.” In addition to the professional dance numbers, Burgess said there would be audience participation sections as well. “We go around and talk with people and call them up on stage, but even if that doesn’t happen for you, I bet you are going to be dancing in your seat along with us,” she said.

Islam and Muslims in Beautiful Caribbean Two Islands, One Nation Small, lush, tropical, tranquil, prosperous, free, laid back, vibrant and active Trinidad & Tobago is unlike most other places in the world. It is a set of two islands, one smaller than the other, that together constitute a country and a member nation of the United Nations. Geographically, culturally, historically, economically and politically, Trinidad & Tobago is an integral part of the West and yet it is located at a respectable physical distance from both Europe and the United States with large green chunks of the mighty Atlantic separating one from the other. Blessed with Allah’s bounties in the form of enormous wealth from oil and natural gas, Trinidad & Tobago is perhaps the most affluent nation of the Caribbean and the West Indies, but it is also a nation, like many other nations of the so-called Developing World, that is widely interspersed with pockets of grinding poverty. It has a surfeit of cars on its roads but is plagued with a rate of air pollution and traffic accidents and fatalities that are alarming. Many of its beautiful beaches are washed over with oil slicks. Alcohol flows through the veins of Trinidad & Tobago like water, and crime stalks the nation like a chronic nightmare. Midway between the East and the West The people of Trinidad & Tobago are a sensitive, proud, hard working, decent, accomplished and highly educated lot. Literacy is over 90 percent and education is free right through the university level. The spirit of entrepreneurship and personal initiative and enterprise is as common as the national fever for partying, music, fete, frolic, “liming” – hanging out and having a good time – and the annual Christian-secular festival of Carnival that embodies many of these questionable practices. In many ways perhaps Trinidad & Tobago is a midway point between the more fully developed nations of the West and what many people refer to as the “Third World.” It is a nation the origin of most of whose people is the “East” – mostly Asia and Africa – but whose present location, culture and orientation is mostly of the “West.” And in more ways than one, Trinidad & Tobago is a checkered microcosm of the world and its multifarious peoples, cultures and traditions. It is in closest proximity to South America and yet in many marked ways it is not a Latin American nation. Overall, Trinidad & Tobago is a society whose people, leaders and culture are uniquely and amazingly open and sensitive to more than one point of view, whether it is in politics, religion or something else. Racial and Religious Harmony Trinidad & Tobago is a land in which white, black and brown people of all faiths and philosophies commingle and coexist in peace and harmony with one another. Today, religion is being used by narrow-minded bigots and self-serving zealots and charlatans everywhere to exploit society, divide people and the world into hostile camps and visit all kinds of the most unspeakable atrocities on fellow human beings. At a time like this, Trinidad & Tobago has every reason to proudly celebrate its spirit of broad-minded tolerance, peaceful coexistence and racial and religious harmony. It is a land in which Christians, Hindus, Muslims and others live, work and go about their daily business practicing their “religion” with a spirit of mutual respect and accommodation that is reflective of the basic teachings of Islam in this regard. Historically, it is reminiscent of the racial and religious harmony that prevailed for centuries in Muslim Spain before the Inquisition. With the two large African and Indian racial and ethnic groups having a comparable share and a complimentary role in the composition of the society, and with a small white and still smaller Chinese and native Caribbean presence playing the role of salt and yeast in the leavening of this wonderful mix, Trinidad & Tobago is the true melting pot of the world in modern times, even though other societies of the world may have from time to time laid claim to that title and delivered only marginally and meagerly on that claim. In earlier times, it was Islam that taught the world how people of different religious and racial backgrounds must coexist and live in peace and harmony with each other. Islam created the first true racial, religious and cultural melting pot of the world. In more ways than much of the world realizes, and without actually pressing that expression into service or making too much fuss about it, Trinidad & Tobago embodies what some parts of the world recently have come to call diversity – an oblique reference to mutual tolerance, accommodation, negotiation and respect between and amongst diverse population segments representing diverse racial and ethnic categories, cultural groupings and religious viewpoints. An Enlightened Democracy Trinidad & Tobago is also a resource-rich society with a great and vibrant present and an even greater and more vibrant future that is full of promise, potential and excitement. It has a higher literacy rate than most societies of the world and an economic base and infrastructure that are geared to propel it in the ranks of the developed societies of the world by the year 2020. Above all, Trinidad & Tobago is a free, proud, self-respecting and enlightened democracy, where freedom strains and rings from every beach, valley and mountaintop. And where independence of spirit reigns in the heart of every individual no matter how high or low his or her education or economic or social status. American Civil Rights leaders Martin Luther King, first prime minister of Trinidad & Tobago Eric Williams and others who so valiantly struggled for freedom, opportunity and dignity for their people, would have been happy to see their vision of freedom, equality and opportunity for the Western Hemisphere coming true on this island of a little over a million souls, a mere dot on the map, but a true giant among nations when it comes to commitment and respect for and adherence to the lofty notions of human rights, civil liberties, freedom, democracy and equality for its people.

Let us imagine that you with your friend have started visiting dance lessons at a dance club. You have nice dancewear and shoes, and both were lucky to find a good dance partners. Seems, that everything is going well. You like the atmosphere and enjoy music and the process of learning to dance. You are satisfied with a coach, his dance grace and knowledge, and wonder his patience in explaining you for the umpteenth time how to do this dance step. For beginners it is usual that during a time between dance lessons you can forget or mix the movements you have learnt at the previous lesson. Especially, if you were taught to dance several dances. Staying in front of a mirror in a dance hall and taking the hands of your partner, you suddenly realize that you do not know how to repeat dance steps which you brilliantly performed in Sunday. Or another situation - you remember your dance movements quite well, but your partner completely forget what leg is starting first and which side to turn you to ' to left or right? And the worst case is if you are missing the partner and have to start with a new one, excusing his mistakes and saying yourself that nobody is perfect. To prevent such unpleasant situations, you may think over a buy of dance instruction manuals and dance instruction books. Nowadays, the dance market offers many dance instruction manuals. Most part of them, however, deals with the certain dance popular at the current moment in different countries. Like Rumba Dancing instructions or Salsa Dancing instructions. Dancing manuals could be useful for you ' they comprise pictures of main dance steps and movements, colorful photos, proposals of dance costume, and data on competition. Besides, such manual may include a DVD for those who seek the highest quality dance instruction and really want to learn how to dance. As a rule, DVD features the unique dance lessons from nationally known instructor, choreographer or performer. Buy the proper level of dance (beginner). The beginning lessons teach the basic steps and a variety of beginner combinations, which made be taught all in the privacy of your own home. Having a good coach is good, but having a good coach and good dancing instructions is perfect!

EmbiggenedBy Rabbi Jack Abramowitz Isaiah tells Jerusalem to arise, for their light has come. Darkness will cover the Earth, but they alone will have light. The other nations will follow their light to G-d. Isaiah says to look around and see the crowds who have gathered – either referring to the people of other nations from the previous verse or to the exiles, who have returned. Jerusalem will be startled by the abundance of goodness she will have, and be enlarged by it. Caravans will come to Jerusalem, carrying wealth and precious goods, as well as praise of G-d. The sheep and rams will be sacrifices to G-d, which He will accept and which will inspire the nations to serve Him. The Jews will return from exile swiftly, like a cloud carried by the wind and doves returning to the coop. Ships will return the Jews to their land, along with silver and gold. (This may mean the wealth that was pillaged during the siege, or that the nations will send wealth as gifts to the Temple.) The people from other lands will help build up the city and kings will serve the nation because G-d had punished the nation for their sins, and now He has had mercy on them. Because there will be peace, the gates of Jerusalem will be open 24 hours a day and wealth will pour in. Nations will follow the Jews’ example and serve G-d or they will cease to be. The best trees of Lebanon will be used in the Temple, as they were in the time of Solomon and the descendants of the Jews’ oppressors in exile will recognize the holiness of Jerusalem and its connection to the Jewish people. Instead of being despised by the nations of the world, Israel will be admired. Israel will enjoy the wealth of nations and know that this came from G-d. Instead of copper and iron, the Jews will enjoy gold and silver. (This means that they will be rewarded many times more than the amount they were punished.) The rulers of the land will be guided by peace and righteousness. Violence and oppression will be a thing of the past. They won’t need the sun and moon for light because G-d will be their everlasting light. (This is a metaphor; light represents Torah.) The people, all of whom will be righteous, will inherit the land forever and the smallest of families will be extremely prolific. It is G-d who says this and He will make it happen.

HOBOKEN -- Mayor Dawn Zimmer said she is "saddened" to see Maxwell's,close and pulled out all the stops to save the "indie-rock mecca" on Washington Street that had its heyday in the 80s and 90s. The restaurant, bar and night club is set to close its doors when the lease is up at the end of July, according to an article by the Star-Ledger. Co-owner Todd Abramson of the club and restaurant told the Star-Ledger that several factors played in his decision not to renew the lease at 1039 Washington St. Among them are a changing bar culture in Hoboken that looks to "giant TVs" rather than a traditional bar/restaurant with live music for entertainment, "difficulties of trying to run a business" in Hoboken and to a lesser extent problems with parking, "When I first heard that Maxwell's might close, I made it a priority to do everything we could to help them stay open," Zimmer said in a statement. "While I'm saddened to see it go, I understand that things change and Todd and his team did everything they could to make it work. I wish Todd and the entire Maxwell's team the best of luck in the future." Zimmer did not specify what she did to try to persuade the owners from closing the club. Describing Maxwell's as an "indie-rock mecca" with a "love for the underdogs," Rolling Stone" music magazine's website recently rated the club as the third best club in America. The club provided venues for indie bands like Replacements, Hüsker Dü, Sonic Youth and the Minutemen in the 1980s and grunge acts including Nirvana, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers during the 1990s, Rolling Stone says. Bruce Springsteen filmed parts of the video for his 1985 hit “Glory Days” at the club. Abramson, who will continue to operate the larger Bell House in Brooklyn, said he is planning a hold the final concert with members of members of the Bongos who played on opening night at the club. Maxwell's thrived when Hoboken was considered an "arts town" with affordable rents Abramson said the club, which offers discounted parking at two local municipal garages, has always been plagued by problems with parking where " bands whose vans have been booted because the signs are so unclear."

The final stupid weekend of what was an extremely stupid NFL regular season. I mean, they're all pretty stupid, but this one certainly felt more stupid than usual. Bad calls, bad coaching, bad penalties. Just stupidity all around. Let's summarize for Week 17… The second stupidest officiating moment, Bill Leavy edition With playoff implications in play, Leavy's crew had a rough go in the late moments of the Chiefs-Chargers game. The first example wasn't necessarily a bad call, but it was still poor officiating because Leavy's crew didn't perform their due diligence. Deep in their own territory, the Chargers snapped it to Eric Weddle on a fake punt on 4th-and-2. Weddle apparently gained the first down before he fumbled, leading to a Kansas City touchdown. It was ruled by Leavy's crew, though, that his forward progress was stopped before he coughed it up. Again, might have been the right call on a bang-bang play, but why wasn't first-down yardage reviewed? And why was no explanation given? This was a play that had major implications and merited an extra look, but Leavy and Co. ignored all of the options put in place for them to get these calls right. The stupidest officiating moment, Bill Leavy edition But that game might not have even gone to overtime had Leavy's crew noticed that the Chargers had an illegal formation with seven men on one side of the ball when Ryan Succop missed what would have been the game-winning field goal late in the fourth quarter. The worst part of this: Two officials—who appear from the tape to be side judge Keith Parham and umpire Ruben Fowler—were staring straight at the line from behind the Chargers rushers before the snap of the ball. They had to see the seven Chargers on the line to the right of the ball, which is illegal. Teams can have only six men on either side of the ball when it is snapped on a field-goal try. Had a flag been thrown, Succop would have had another chance from only 36 yards out. In his career, he's an 85-percent kicker from that range. Had the kick been made, Pittsburgh would be the No. 6 seed in the AFC, rather than San Diego. The stupidest officiating moment, Gene Steratore edition Steratore doesn't get mentioned here very often because he's a damn good referee. But Sunday night, he overlooked something that could have cost the Cowboys their season. The play clock operator mistakenly gave Dallas only 25 seconds, rather than 40, after a 34-yard completion to Jason Witten in the fourth quarter. It was obvious the Cowboys didn't have enough time, but Steratore blew the play dead when the clock hit zeros and gave them a five-yard delay-of-game penalty anyway. NBC's Cris Collinsworth and Al Michaels noticed immediately that something wasn't right, but nobody on Steratore's crew did. And the Cowboys never protested. Shockingly stupid. This actually happens quite frequently, but the officials almost always pick up on the miscue from the clock operator and pick up the flag. Not this time, and in a huge moment. Now, Dallas scored on the drive anyway and lost regardless, but this was a massive blunder that would have been criticized in a big way had it affected the outcome. The stupidest lapse in coverage, Bengals edition Someone tell the Ravens that A.J. Green is one of the five best receivers in football. The stupidest lapse in coverage, Bears edition It's 4th-and-8 with your season on the line, and you let this happen? The stupidest example of a lack of awareness How often do we see packs of players, or at least individuals, go ape$%#& in attempts to recovery fumbles that clearly weren't fumbles? The one damn time we get a fumble that is actually a fumble on a strange play, and nobody on either Chicago or Green Bay even makes an effort… That might have been the difference in what was the de facto NFC North championship game. The stupidest front-office decision Do Jimmy Haslem, Joe Banner, Michael Lombardi and everyone else running the Cleveland Browns really believe the team they put on the field in 2013 was any better than its 4-12 record? Did they expect more from a team that traded its 2012 No. 3 overall pick midseason, lacked a half-decent starting quarterback and was still rebuilding on both sides of the ball? I don't understand how an organization gives up on a head coach 352 days into his tenure, but the Browns did exactly that on Sunday night, firing Rob Chudzinski after a 4-12 season. That makes little sense to me, or anyone in the football world not named Haslem, Banner or Lombardi. In Lombardi's defense, he was named general manager after Chudzinski was hired last January. But really, that ass-backwards approach probably helped lead to this and only helps establish how stupid this entire organization is.

Wyclef Jean has accused his former Fugees bandmate and ex-lover Lauryn Hill of misleading him about the paternity of her son with Rohan Marley. RELATED: Where Are They Now? '90s Rappers The couple was caught up in an affair at the height of their fame in the band despite Jean being married to Marie Claudinette at the time. Jean has previously hinted the romance was the catalyst for the group's split in 1997, but in his new memoir, titled "Purpose," he blames Hill for allegedly lying about the paternity of her child in a bid to convince him it was his and not Marley's. In an excerpt obtained by the New York Post, Jean writes, "In that moment something died between us. I was married and Lauryn and I were having an affair, but she led me to believe that the baby was mine, and I couldn't forgive that. "She could no longer be my muse. Our love spell was broken."

Tiers for talents Rather than limit talent choices by specialization, the new talent choices are based on specific options. For example, the first talent tier at level 15 is all based around Charge, which is becoming the fundamental travel ability of all three warrior specs in Mists. This approach, giving talents that are more universally broad in their application, has pros and cons. One of the things I find compelling about this approach is its ability to tailor talent choices to one's own playstyle. The three talent choices here, Juggernaut (a 12-second Charge instead of a 20-second cooldown), Double Time (allowing you to charge twice before the cooldown) and Warbringer (Charge now roots the target for 5 seconds) are all designed to make Charge function the way you want it to. I can imagine a use for any of these talents for whatever role you happen to be playing. The next tier, the survival talent tier, illustrates one of the cons to the current design in that some of these talent tiers are at this moment not as compelling as I'd like. Having Enraged Regeneration as a talent instead of a class ability is fine, but compared to Second Wind (which combines modern Second Wind with modern Blood Craze) and especially the version of Impending Victory, they're all self-heal abilities ... which is kind of bland. (I'm also trying to decide if I would rather have a 30% heal over 10 seconds or a 10% instant heal every 30 seconds, and I'm leaning towards the latter.) Granted, a self-heal is the easiest thing to justify, but a temporary immunity or even a variation of current abilities like Die by the Sword might have been good here, or a magic resistance ability for variety. The level 45 tier was called the CC tier at BlizzCon, but it's not really apt. The three talents listed are all fine talents. Throwdown and Piercing Howl work pretty much how you remember them, while Cripple effectively makes Hamstring apply by your Rend ticks and auto-attacks. There's nothing really wrong with these abilities, but they're not true CC. There's a 5-second stun and two snares, one an AoE, the other single-target but not requiring any effort to apply. It would have been nice for the CC tier to have an actual PvE-focused CC instead of three abilities mostly useful for PvP or kiting. Something as simple as an Impaling Throw that uses your weapon to root someone by pinning them to the ground or walls or something. I mean, we can silence people by throwing weapons at them -- why not? The upper tiers At level 60, we see three talents aimed at silence or interruption effects. Gag Order and Rude Interruption return more or less unchanged, joined by Disrupting Shout. Disrupting Shout is an AoE interrupt that hits everything in 10 yards and locks out any casting in the same school for 4 seconds. I like to call it what every PvP warrior has ever wanted. But it's also probably a solid option for tanks that prefer charging into a pack to trying to silence a caster on a pull. Meanwhile, the level 75 talents are all aimed around rage. We mentioned last week that Enrage effects will be purely about rage generation, and these three talents are all aimed at different ways to manage that. Deadly Calm will make HS and Cleave cost no rage. Death Wish will place you in an enraged state and also will increase your rage generation from damage taken. And Bull Rush will enrage you when you charge or intervene. With combat now more about rage-generation attacks that allow you to spend rage later, these abilities could serve either a tank who needs or wants more rage for the larger rage cost cooldowns like Shield Block as well as a DPSer. I'm still sad to see Death Wish go from a pure DPS cooldown in this fashion. Finally, at level 90 we get the big three talents, the iconic ones that deal damage and bring flavor to the class ... and two of them are talents you currently have and that you'll lose for five levels, which is kind of weird. I'm not opposed to Bladestorm and Shockwave being big-ticket talents, and I love Avatar, at least in theory. I like the stated goal of making each talent give you the feel of the blademaster, tauren chieftain or mountain king from WC III . That said, it's still strange to contemplate losing two of the most signature warrior talents in the current game for five levels once Mists drops. I do love the idea of being able to go arms and take Shockwave for a heavy add fight or Avatar for a single-target fight.What will these talents mean? Of course, it's too soon to know what the final forms of these tiered talents will be, although considering how far along the Mists talent calculator is, there's certainly been significant work done already. My misgivings on the survival and CC tiers aside, what I really do love about this talent scheme is the ability to take a talent spec based on what you want to do with it. It's easy to imagine an arms spec designed around messing with groups , and if we get the ability to switch talents on the fly (mentioned at BlizzCon), you could switch to a single-target spec for DPSing a boss I certainly feel that there are some odd artifacts of this redesign. There's not a lot of new here, which really isn't that surprising considering we're only going five levels. More difficult for me to grasp is the idea of having to wait five levels to get back talents I'm used to having a lot earlier. I'm spoiled by Shockwave tanking. Next week, leveling a warrior. At the center of the fury of battle stand the warriors: protection, arms and fury. Check out more strategies and tips especially for warriors, including Cataclysm 101 for DPS warriors, a guide to new reputation gear for warriors, and a look back at six years of warrior trends.

We determined the temporal dynamics of cambial activity and xylem cell differentiation of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) within a dry inner Alpine valley (750 m asl, Tyrol, Austria), where radial growth is strongly limited by drought in spring. Repeated micro-sampling of the developing tree ring of mature trees was carried out during 2 contrasting years at two study plots that differ in soil water availability (xeric and dry-mesic site). In 2007, when air temperature at the beginning of the growing season in April exceeded the long-term mean by 6.4 °C, cambial cell division started in early April at both study plots. A delayed onset of cambial activity of c. 2 wk was found in 2008, when average climate conditions prevailed in spring, indicating that resumption of cambial cell division after winter dormancy is temperature-controlled. Cambial cell division consistently ended about the end of June/early July in both study years. Radial enlargement of tracheids started almost 3 wk earlier in 2007 compared with 2008 at both study plots. At the xeric site, the maximum rate of tracheid production in 2007 and 2008 was reached in early and mid-May, respectively, and c. 2 wk later, at the dry-mesic site. Since in both study years, more favorable growing conditions (i.e., an increase in soil water content) were recorded during summer, we suggest a strong sink competition for carbohydrates to mycorrhizal root and shoot growth. Wood formation stopped c. 4 wk earlier at the xeric compared with the dry-mesic site in both years, indicating a strong influence of drought stress on cell differentiation. This is supported by radial widths of earlywood cells, which were found to be significantly narrower at the xeric than at the dry-mesic site (P < 0.05). Repeated cellular analyses during the two growing seasons revealed that, although spatial variability in the dynamics and duration of cell differentiation processes in Pinus sylvestris exposed to drought is strongly influenced by water availability, the onset of cambial activity and cell differentiation is controlled by temperature.

Shred Agent Short Description: Protects privacy by secure wiping of sensitive files in the background mode Shred Agent Long Description: With the wider use of encryption systems, an attacker wishing to gain access to sensitive data is forced to look elsewhere for information. One way to attack is the recovery of supposedly erased data from hard disk or random-access memory. Shred Agent is designed to protect your privacy. When you delete files in Windows it is possible to undelete or recover them using different file recovery utilities. If you want to make sure that the file you delete cannot be restored by any means, Shred Agent is the right tool for you. To make sure nobody else has access to your private files, you might use some encryption software. But encryption is useless if the original plaintext can be recovered. Wiping is the process of writing some information directly into the space where the old file was located. Shred Agent works on hardware level, thus wiping the files completely, eliminating the possibility of ever recovering them. What makes it different from most file wiping utilities currently available on the market is the capability to control the wiping of files in the background. For example you can configure the corresponding filters to wipe temporary file created by office programs. If Shred Agent is installed on a server and a remote user is trying to delete a file from the "Include" list, Shred Agent will wipe the file via network. Shred Agent can be customized to suit just your needs. Configure filters to wipe only the files with certain extensions or belonging to a specific directory. Make sure Shred Agent is launched every time you switch on your computer. Record all the information about the files being wiped to a log file.

Nevertheless, Gus-who can tell a pitch just by the crack of the bat-refuses to be benched for what may be the final innings of his career. He may not have a choice. The front office of the Atlanta Braves is starting to question his judgment, especially with the country's hottest batting phenom on deck for the draft. The one person who might be able to help is also the one person Gus would never ask: his daughter, Mickey (Amy Adams), an associate at a high-powered Atlanta law firm whose drive and ambition has put her on the fast track to becoming partner. Against her better judgment, and over Gus's objections, Mickey joins him on his latest scouting trip to North Carolina, jeopardizing her own career to save his. Clint Eastwood and a superb cast hit it out of the park in Trouble With The Curve, a great entertainment filled with heart, humor, family drama and fantastic acting. It's less a baseball flick, and more an engaging father/daughter relationship film that uses America's favorite pastime only as a bridge to get to the real heart of the matter. As an aging baseball scout battling failing vision, Eastwood must compete with computer programs and younger corporate know-it-alls, plus deal with a grown daughter (Amy Adams) who only wants his attention. This smart and extremely likeable outing has the veteran star right where he belongs and should draw his fans and beyond.Excerpt from Box Office.com located HERE Georgia to North Carolina in this sports drama produced and directed by frequent Eastwood collaborator Robert Lorenz. For decades, Gus Lobel (Eastwood) has been one of the best scouts in Major League Baseball. But these days his eyes just aren't what they used to be, and as a phenomenal young batter enters the draft, the owners of the Atlanta Braves cast a shadow of doubt over Gus' judgment. Meanwhile, his daughter Mickey ( Adams) is an aspiring partner at a major Atlanta law firm. In the wake of his wife's death, Gus sent Mickey away, and their relationship has been strained ever since. But she knows a thing or two about baseball, and recognizing that her father's job is in jeopardy, she decides to help him -- even at the risk of derailing her own career. Now, throwing caution to the wind (and ignoring her gruff father's objections), Mickey joins Gus for a scouting trip that could keep him in the game until he's ready to retire, as well as repair a father/daughter relationship that once seemed all but lost. Justin Timberlake, John Goodman, Robert Patrick, and Matthew Lillard co-star.Excerpt from MRQE located HERE Image : NOTE: The below Blu-ray captures were taken directly from the Blu-ray disc. Trouble With the Curve looks acceptable on Blu-ray from Warner. It has no flaws but the 1080P image lacks a certain identity to send it to the next level. There are a lot of outdoor scenes that look reasonably impressive. This sneaks into dual-layered territory with a supportive bitrate. Colors have a blue/teal leaning but contrast is adept. This Blu-ray has a consistent appearance. The baseball fields tend to look the most impressive and there is some depth. This Blu-ray isn't demo material but it gives a stong enough presentation to focus attention on the appealing story. CLICK EACH BLU-RAY CAPTURE TO SEE ALL IMAGES IN FULL 1920X1080 RESOLUTION The DTS-HD Master 5.1 at a whopping 3577 kbps easily handles what the film dishes out including some surround baseball sounds. Mostly dialogue with a few effects. Marco Beltrami is a busy guy - notable for The Hurt Locker and 3:10 to Yuma - and his score here suits the film and the baseball milieu. There are optional subtitles and my Momitsu has identified it as being a region FREE disc playable on Blu-ray machines worldwide. Just a couple of shortish 'Behind the Scenes' pieces.

Greenpeace Catches Palm Oil Giant Wilmar in Forest Scandal San Francisco, 21 October, 2013 - Household brands that source palm oil through Singapore-based palm oil trader Wilmar International, such as Mondelez (makers of Oreo cookies) and Procter & Gamble (makers of Gillette shaving products) are making consumers unwitting accomplices in the destruction of Indonesia’s forests, and pushing critically endangered species like the Sumatran tiger to the edge of extinction, revealed Greenpeace International today in new investigations. “Many people don’t realize there’s palm oil in all kinds of everyday products – from cookies to shampoo. So how would they know that Oreo cookies or Gillette shaving gel are actually linked to rainforest destruction?” Said Dr Amy Moas, Greenpeace Senior Forest Campaigner. “We have evidence that palm oil supplier Wilmar International, which sells to these household brands, sources from companies who are complicit in the destruction oftiger habitat. This must stop before Sumatran tigers go from endangered to extinct.” Greenpeace has evidence of trade by Wilmar with companies whose operations include illegal forest clearance and fires on peatland, like the ones that smothered Singapore in smog last summer. The report also documents harvests from illegal oil palm plantations within Tesso Nilo National Park – which is meant to be protected due to its unique plants and wildlife – that have previously been tracked to Wilmar’s own mills and continue to feed into Indonesia’s palm oil supply chain. Palm oil plantations are driving the destruction of Tesso Nilo National Park, of which only a quarter now remains, according to Greenpeace’s mapping analysis. Greenpeace’s investigations reveal that household names including Colgate Palmolive, Mondelez International, biofuels giant Neste Oil, Procter & Gamble and several other companies are purchasing dirty palm oil that is laundered onto the global market by Wilmar. Although Wilmar has undertaken to preserve high conservation value (HCV) forests and peatland on its own concessions, these areas supply less than 4% of the palm oil it trades and refines, with the remainder being produced by third-party suppliers. Wilmar has no proper systems in place to ensure traceability in their supply chains. The palm oil sector is the largest driver of deforestation in Indonesia and the vast majority of the forest cleared in identified oil palm concessions in Sumatra during 2009–2011 was tiger habitat. The plantation sector is the chief threat to Sumatran tigers, with up to 1 million hectares of prime tigerhabitat already allocated to concessions. “As the world’s biggest player in the palm oil sector, Wilmar has the power to transform the industry. Wilmar needs to commit to a no-deforestation policy, so that U.S. companies can be sure that they’re not contributing to rainforest destruction or the death of tigers in Indonesia.” Said Moas.

Three years ago at age 39, Rob* was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease. Fortunately, it was detected in the early stages and was aggressively treated with chemotherapy and radiation. He continues to get good reports at his follow-up visits and has returned to his active lifestyle with his wife and four children. Rob is in sales, and enjoys biking, hiking, and just being outdoors. What was your first sign that something was wrong? What symptoms did you experience? I was driving in my car when a bug flew in the window and hit me on the neck. As I brushed it away, I felt a bump. Another thing was that I was always so exhausted. However, the tiredness was such a gradual thing; I didn’t really associate it with something being wrong. For two years I had a rash in the middle of my chest that I thought was just dry skin. I didn’t realize these were warning signs for what turned out to be Hodgkin’s disease. What was the diagnosis experience like? I went to my family doctor first about the bump on my neck. He looked at it and said it was unusual, but wanted to give it a week or two. It didn’t go away, so he referred me to a general surgeon to have it biopsied. The biopsy came back indicating it was Hodgkin’s. The bump was a lymph node that was very close to the surface. The cancer was classified as a 2A (1A being the best and 4D being the worst). What was your initial and then longer-term reaction to the diagnosis? Initially, you think the world is coming to an end. I guess I was nervous, and there was a little bit of fear there. It was hard to believe this was really happening to me. But once we got further into it, I learned that the type of cancer I had was actually considered curable. So I realized that it wasn't so bad. Had I let it go, it could have killed me. How is Hodgkin’s disease treated? First I went through 4 months of chemotherapy—eight cycles going every other week. The chemo I was given was fairly strong, so I took medication to boost my immune system. I also took medication for heartburn, which was a side effect of the chemotherapy. The side effects of the chemotherapy seemed to get progressively worse. I would feel worse for a longer period of time. By the time I had my last chemo treatment, it would really take my energy away. I would be in bed for 2–3 days following the treatment. One of the drugs I was taking affected my lungs. I would have periods of time where I couldn't catch my breath. They took me off of it for the last two treatments. Then I had six weeks of radiation after that—going five days a week. I've been doing three-month follow-up visits for the first two years, and then six-month follow-up visits this past year. They do a CAT scan and a full exam. After this year, they'll just do an annual check to be sure everything is okay. Other than that, I don't really have to do anything for treatment. Did you have to make any lifestyle or dietary changes in response to having Hodgkin’s disease? As far as dietary changes, we are much more aware of cleaning fresh vegetables and fruits before we eat them. We soak all our vegetables in a solution to help remove the pesticides. You can see the stuff coming out of the vegetables when you do that. There's usually a film that surfaces at the top of the water. I eat more organic foods and health foods than I did before. I guess the biggest change is that I drink more water. I just try to eat a balanced diet. I don't want to be a fanatic. We have always exercised, so I can't really say that's a change. I don't know if this is a lifestyle change, but I think I'm more aware of people who go through something like this. I feel more empathy for them than I used to before my diagnosis. It has also caused me to do a lot more evaluation of my life and my future. Did you seek any type of emotional support? My family was real supportive. They were always there for me. I've been blessed with a family that really loves me. Also, my faith in God grew leaps and bounds. It is a very humbling experience, because you aren't in control and you don't know what’s going on with you. It was a great peace to know that my life was in God’s hands. I can't imagine going through it without my family and my faith. There was also a group in town called, “Ribbon of Hope.” They are a support group for people diagnosed with cancer. They called me one day and wanted to know if it was okay for them to come to my house to visit. They came over and talked to me about how I was handling the diagnosis, treatment, and just dealing with having cancer. They invited me to the meetings, but I never ended up going. I guess I felt that I had the support I needed, but if I didn’t, I'm sure I would have gone. It seemed like a really great organization. I've told several other people about it. Does having Hodgkin’s disease have an impact on your family? I think my wife and kids were real fearful that they might lose me. We spend more time together than we did before. My wife said the treatments had an impact on my emotions, but I didn’t really realize that. My wife has been a real trooper. What advice would you give to anyone living with Hodgkin’s disease? I would suggest that they make God a priority in their life. Second, I would suggest that they get a support system to help them get through it. It just helps to talk to other people who understand. *Not his real name Interviews were conducted in the past and may not reflect current standards and practices in medicine. Talk to your doctor to learn more about how this condition is diagnosed and managed today and what treatment approaches are right for you.

Simona Halep's remarkable run continued as she crushed Wimbledon specialist Sabine Lisicki to reach her first semi-final at the All England Club. This time last year, Halep had not been past the second round at a grand slam but she made the quarter-finals in Australia, pushed Maria Sharapova all the way in a terrific French Open final and is a real contender for a first title here. Lisicki, beaten by Marion Bartoli in last year's final, always reserves her best form for Wimbledon but after a great start the match went away from her very quickly as third seed Halep triumphed 6-4 6-0. Eugenie Bouchard awaits her in the final four. In her third-round win over Yaroslava Shvedova, Lisicki had taken a controversial medical time-out at break point down early in the third set for treatment to her shoulder. There was no sign of any physical trouble for the German on Centre Court as she opened up a 4-1 lead but, once Halep adjusted to the pace of the match, the Romanian began to turn things around. She broke back in the seventh game and clinched the set, and her fifth game in a row, with a forehand winner. Things might have been different had Lisicki taken one of several chances to hold serve at the start of the second set but she did not and from there Halep raced to victory. The 22-year-old won the final 11 games of the match and needed just 57 minutes to make the last four. She said: "It was a good match. I had a slow start today and she had 4-1, but I came back very well. "I played my best tennis and I was enjoying every moment, it was incredible on Centre Court. I'm really happy I could win in two sets because tomorrow I want to be ready to have a good match again." Halep is the highest seed left in the tournament, which was opened up further by Sharapova's exit on Tuesday. Halep insisted she is not worried by the expectations on her shoulders, saying: "It was the same at the French Open, so now I have experience. I don't have pressure, just want to enjoy it and play the best that I can."

Protests and marches broke out across the country after a Sanford, Fla., jury acquitted George Zimmerman of murder in the killing of Trayvon Martin Saturday night, continuing well into Sunday. In California, where memory of the Rodney King riots two decades ago loomed heavily over the city's demonstrations, protesters clashed with police and several arrests were made. While Los Angeles protests remained largely peaceful, police said, several "splinter groups" have been more aggressive and the LAPD called a citywide tactical alert. Officers declared unlawful assembly shortly after midnight Monday after about 80 people gathered in front of the CNN building in Hollywood, chanting "No justice, no peace" and carrying signs. At Washington Boulevard and 10th Avenue, demonstrators threw rocks and D-cell batteries at cops. Police made at least seven arrests and dispersed the crowd, some even firing rubber bullets and bean bags. No arrests were made, and none of the protesters was hurt, when a crowd blocked the 10 Freeway at Crenshaw Boulevard, jamming traffic for more than 20 minutes as they marched down the highway. In Oakland, protestors vandalized businesses downtown, while police in riot gear watched over San Francisco demonstrations but made no arrests. Oakland Mayor Jean Quan said the protestor's actions "dishonored the memory" of Trayvon Martin by their actions. “Oakland is a community that grapples with many of these issues,” Quan said. “I know many of us are living with hard emotions as we continue working toward solutions in the wake of the verdict.” Marchers spray-painted anti-police slogans on buildings and businesses, lit garbage cans on fire and smashed windows, said police spokeswoman Johnna Watson, but no arrests were made.

Love Children on a Spanish picture sleeve (which I do not own…) Listen/Download – Love Children – Paper Chase I hope everyone had a chance to dig into Episode 6 of the Iron Leg Radio Show. As always, if you haven’t downloaded, it will still be available in the archive (see the tab in the header). The song I bring you today is something from the lighter side of the Deram popsike merry-go-round. I first heard Love Children doing ’Paper Chase’ back in the old garage mod days when it appeared on one of the British Psychedelic Trip comps. Though I don’t know much about the group, I can say with certainty that they recorded two 45s for Deram in 1969 and 1970. ‘Paper Chase’ was the second of their records and the late date of its release goes some distance in explaining why the popsike whimsy seems to be drifting into a slightly bubblegummy side street, or at least what was passing for bubblegum over in the UK. That said, it is indeed a very groovy side with the electric sitar touches, electric piano and the strings and the harmony vocals. What ‘Paper Chase’ manages to do is illustrate the rather prominent vein of pure pop running straight through from the beat era into the early 70s. The only differences along that particular timeline being certain, time-specific flourishes, whether it be phasing, pocket trumpet (a la the Beatles), backward tape or what have you. Oddly enough, the flip side is a weird, slightly heavier novelty called ‘My Turkey Snuffed It’ which opens with a nice, tight drum break and features some cool guitar. It also features a variety of irritating sound effects and lame lyrics, which is probably why it languished on the b-side (and in obscurity). I hope you dig the tune, and I’ll see you all next week.

Med en “lånt” cykel jeg op fra min fætter Mortens lejlighed på Nordre Fasanvej og gjort den velkendte venstre på Mariendalsvej, der ville tage mig til Centrum. Øjebliket jeg ramte fortovet, følte jeg en utrolig følelse, som jeg ikke havde følt i lang tid … jeg var konge af vejen igen. Nå, ligesom alle andre dansker. Mariendalsvej bliver til Ågade, Åboulevard, og derefter Gyldenløvesgade, og kører over vandet, indtil du begynder på HC Andersen Boulevard. Med vinden i ryggen skyde mig over vandet, var jeg overvældet. Min lille genvej er at drejer til venstre på Hammerichsgade, højre på Jarmers Plads til Sankt Peders Stræde, højre til Nørregade, og derefter venstre på Skindergade indtil jeg ankommer på Strøget. Jeg plejer at gå min cykel til springvandet hvis jeg møde nogen, spise, eller gå shopping. Som jeg parkeret nær springvandet følte jeg noget andet velkendt, helt sikkert noget, at hver New Yorker føler … at jeg var på et tidspunkt i midten af verden. I had the chance to take two junkets to Copenhagen to visit my cousin this Year and had, as always, the time of my life. I wrote above about the borrowed bicycle waiting for me and my nostalgic, familiar trip into the City Center. Having not been back to my second home in a while, I was not only overcome with joy from being back on a bicycle in Copenhagen, but also with a sense of calm, inspired determination from being “the king of the road” on that bicycle on that road. Biking in most other cities is not quite the same, and not just because they don’t have the infrastructure. The culture of being accepted on a bicycle, let alone being possibly the most preferenced mode of transportation, is unusual, and I would argue that infrastructure is secondary to this culture. This is what makes cycling in a city truly great (though bike lanes don’t hurt). Cycling in Copenhagen also produces perhaps the most “local” experience. Everyone cycles, so drivers, straphangers (metro users), and even walkers experience the city in a manner largely unlike a Copenhagener. As a fake local, I rarely have any other experience than on my bicycle, but I won’t forget the few hours I spent one day walking with a friend, and how different the experience was, of such familiar places to me. I felt like a tourist, and I hated it! How very un-Danish, one might argue. On the flip-side, for some reason I also biked around Amelienborg for the first time (it seems that I’ve always walked the area), and that experience was all the more dissimilar, and very special. Thinking of the distinctions in the development of cycling systems between Copenhagen and New York, the latter of which notably has been fomented by the growth of Citibike – infrastructure in NYC is paramount to this development, as we do not HAVE a cycling culture, let alone yellow cab, UberX, or suburban drivers who yield to cyclists on a given avenue (though Via drivers are mostly very polite). From the limited history of cycling in Copenhagen that I know, it was the *culture* that drove the infrastructure. In New York, we have needed and will continue to need infrastructure to give rise to such a culture, a culture of truly sharing the road. Exactly the reverse process. Thankfully, over the course of this year (nicely summed up in this older article Citi Bike to Begin Service in Queens and Expand Service in Brooklyn and Manhattan ), we began to seriously expand in the Outer Boroughs, including building 79 new stations in Brooklyn and 12 new stations in Long Island City (Queens). Having worked for the New York State Department of Transportation on highway engineering and planning in Long Island City, I can confirm that the neighborhood, exploding with commercial, retail, and residential growth, will substantially benefit from the Citibike option, particularly as Manhattanites begin to commute there more and more, and vice-versa. Indeed, the Outer Boroughs are the next frontier in NYC’s cycling infrastructure expansion…though far from the final. Just as it’s a bit of a schlep to cycle to Papierun to grab dinner in Copenhagen, it’s even more difficult to get to Main Street in Flushing for the same *exotic* fare. This is quickly changing, though. By 2017 the system hopes to have 12,000 more bicycles in action all over New York City. Perhaps bike sharing, as I’ve noted in earlier posts, as a “gateway drug” for cycling in the United States is morphing into a more substantive piece of infrastructure in its own right. This is obviously quite distinct from what went on in Copenhagen. More importantly, even, it is fomenting the growth of a cycling culture beyond that of the participants in the Tour de France (or Bronx, for that matter). Indeed, Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams proclaimed to constituents this year that “bike riding is more than recreation…it is daily transportation for an increasing number of commuters…” affirming even in the public rhetoric the robustness of this growing culture. While I may have thought, from a (fake) Copenhagener’s perspective, that bike sharing was incapable of doing much for sharing the road, perhaps bike share programs like Citibike all over the Nation (there are hundreds…) is the most substantive answer to growing our commuter cycling culture, at least in urban areas. The road and regulatory infrastructure still needs to catch up, but if culture leads, it all won’t be far behind.

I love doing these mezzotints with multiple speakers (the last one was the Shakespeare scene with da sord). Note the Biblical reference! Friday, July 10, 2009 Thursday, July 9, 2009 Wednesday, July 8, 2009 Tuesday, July 7, 2009 Monday, July 6, 2009 Did you guys miss me? I hope my sudden decision to peace out for a week didn't offend anybody. Anyway, here is something fresh for your Monday morning...looking at the fresco cycle this is from (the Renunciation of Worldly Goods probably being the most famous), I could probably spend all week with Giotto, but, eh. One is probably enough. Here is St. Francis upstaging his own monks at a party for Jesus! (Giotto di Bondone, Ecstasy of St. Francis, 1297-1300)

QR code readers are available for many popular mobile platforms Russian VXers have begun using obnoxious barcode-on-steroids QR codes as a launchpad for mobile malware. A recently identified malicious Quick Response code on a Russian website links through a series of redirections to a site punting a Trojan version of the Jimm mobile ICQ client. Android users who follow the links and install … And that is why you should always check whether applications do not request funny permissions. Also, it's a good idea to install LBE Security Guard. This way, you can still install these applications, but only allow them access to the things you want to get to. 'Help, help, I'm under attag' That made me larf. to print with dodgy QR codes and hijack some advertising posters. While it might not get quite the same uptake as breaking into a mainstream website and inserting malicious code or appropriate protest messages, would it not be somewhat easier simply to stick replacement dodgy codes over the official ones on advertising posters in well attended areas and wait for people to blindly scan them? (V mask, obviously!) To print some "goatse" or "bluewaffle" tags? (warning : don't google those at work. Nor at home. Nor anywhere if you value your sanity.) An attacker could easily print up a poster for a band, a store or whatever is popular that advertises a free app that will send you special offers and giveaways via SMS and show you the latest deals or news. Or a cheaper way would be to get some printable sticker sheets and place the phoney QR code over legitimate ones. The shopping mall where I live already has QR tags all over the place and I wouldn't be surprised if some of them where booby-trapped given the large population of security researchers. SO it's exactly the same risk/reward trade off as typing a random server URL from an advert into your phone. No. A server URL is human-readable, so if it ends in disney.com, for example, you can decide how much you trust Disney. If a Disney advert has a dodgy-looking URL, you can figure it maybe isn't really Disney. With the barcodes you have no idea where they'll take you so you don't know who you are trusting, and you can't tell if the barcode doesn't match the advert. with the difference that if I'm looking up info on a product made by Brand X, I can feel fairly safe if the URL starts with X.com Of course, no guarantees just like everything else, however I would prefer if at least the phone had the option to read the tag and show the URL on the screen WITHOUT connecting to it. Some apps do indeed have this feature. I use the Kaywa mobile reader. It's available for several platforms. I am not affiliated with them in any way. as a Winpho7 user, I haven't found a QR app that actually works Or any other non-M$ app for that matter, eh ? ;-) I guess the reason is M$ are pushing thier own QR equiv which had colors and common shapes like triangles etc. I think the problem was it didn't have good error correction, was costlier to print (in color) and was harder to spot in colored posted with triangles and squares! ...those stupid link shorteners in their scamtastic properties? "Ooh, shit.ly sounds so cool! Everything-ly makes me sound so distant and yet cool at the same time! Let's start posting links that stop working and rely on some iffy domain registry everywhere on the interwebs!" "..apart from the fact users might be more trusting about a non-human-readable QR code than a conventional URL." Yes. Sad but true. People are often more trusting about something they CAN'T READ to verify for themselves than about something they can. Some of us are very smart. On average, though, we are really damned stupid. I saw some of these square things pop up on /b/ pretty much as soon as they became used; never checked where these were leading, but somewhere at least a tiny bit nasty, I'd guess. Sweet. I'm gonna print up some QR codes that point to lemonparty and stick them on the tube Found two in the wild already. In Vancouver, one stuck to the wall of the City Centre subway station, "Win a fantastic iPad 2" with a QR code - that points to an unrecognizable URL. Another one under a wiper, "Pizza Hut - Win your Pizza" asking me to download a getmobio app then scan the QR code to order the pizza - but the URL is also unrecognizable. The first one is a scam, the second one may be legitimate, but I don't trust either.

I brought my video camera along with to bring you the sights and sounds of the first NCAA Division 1 lacrosse game in Forsyth Country, NC. FYI: If you are a Bucknell fan and went to the game, odds are you sat near me. If you are a Jacksonville fan and attended the game, very unlikely that you sat next to me. Garrett Swaim: your family is loud. In a good way. Here’s the setting: I rolled into Nancy K. Shea Stadium on the campus of Forsyth Country Day School. I was hoping to get there earlier for the high school game between the host FCDS and my alma mater, R.J. Reynolds HS. Instead, I arrived a bit too late, only to see the scoreboard indicating a 10-4 RJR win. Picking out a seat was easy, as the crowd hadn’t shown up yet. Top row. Middle. Right next to the aforementioned Garrett Swaim’s family. On the other side of me was the whole Bucknell contingent. All great fans. I left the game quite impressed with Jacksonville. Aside from their nonexistent first quarter, they played fairly solid. Coach Kerwick made some great adjustments at the half on defense and the Bison only picked up a few garbage goals. Bucknell just happened to be the better team today. Don’t sleep on Jacksonville. At all. Mark my words, they will become in NCAA tournament mainstay in no time. Game recap from Lacrosse Magazine: No. 18 Bucknell Downs Jacksonville in Carolina from press release WINSTON SALEM, N.C. – The JU men’s lacrosse team dug itself an early hole and could never dig out in a 17-8 loss to No. 18 Bucknell. The Dolphins gave up the game’s first seven goals, spanning through the first 18 minutes, and pulled within four goals but could never get any closer. The Dolphins were led by freshman attackman TJ Kenary with four goals and one assist while sophomore midfielder Jeremy Tissenbaum scored twice for JU. Senior goalie Brad Hester played all 60 minutes and made 15 saves. The Bison were led by strong performances from Charlie Streep (4,3) and Austin Winter (4,2) while goalie Kyle Feeney picked up the win, making seven saves. Bucknell dynamic stretching: Jacksonville entrance to Jay-Z: Captain’s Meeting and opening face: Later in the game: Last 5 mins Part 1: Last 5 mins Part 2: About the Author: The Lax picked up his first stick when he stepped on campus at MCLA D2 school UNC Charlotte. After taking a short break, he returned to the field for independent UNCG. The Lax enjoys flowers, pictures of unicorns, long walks on the beach, and above all else, beating people with his D-Pole.

Daily Telegraph, April 3rd 2006, p.1 A drop in qualified staff appears inevitable as leaked documents suggest reduction by a third, with qualified nurses replaced by unqualified staff. While NHS Direct attracts millions of calls, website visitors and digital television viewers, seventy per cent of enquiries are passed back to the commissioning care trusts according to critics. Daily Telegraph, March 28th 2006, p.16 Reflecting on similarities between problems in healthcare for the young and old now and twenty years ago, the author asks about moral, ethical and personal perspectives in deciding how to prioritise health funding. Guardian, April 19th 2006, p.1 The parliamentary Health Select Committee is preparing to inquire into how NHS trusts acquired deficits despite extra funding. The article provides comments on costs and the progress of the reform programme. Financial Times, April 13th 2006, p.4 Tony Blair was warned at a Downing Street summit with local health heads that clearing the NHS deficit may take more than a year. Further job losses are anticipated as are cutting agency workers and shifting care outside hospitals as heavily indebted trusts seek cost saving measures. The article also touches on a think tank report’s assertion that moving care away from hospitals will result in ten per cent job losses. [See also Daily Telegraph, April 13th 2006, p.6; Times, April 13th 2006, p.4; Guardian, April 13th 2006; p.7; Independent, April 13th 2006, p.5] Financial Times, April 21st 2006, p.4 Poor and delayed NHS procurement procedures are adding £2.4m to the cost of PFI hospitals according to the Confederation of British Industry. The article looks at the process and provides comments. N. Hawkes & G. Hurst Times, April 18th 2006, p.2 “Vital specialist paediatric capacity” is threatened by an insensitive tariff which leaves four children’s hospitals with a £22m shortfall in income. The situation was revealed by a letter from the hospitals’ heads, and supports criticisms of the national tariff’s lack of sophistication. [See also Daily Telegraph, April 18th 2006, p.4; Guardian, April 18th 2006, p. 13] Public Finance. March 24th-30th 2006, p.20-23 Part of the blame for the current financial crisis in the NHS has been laid at the door of the new payment by results system. The author argues that payment by results should in the long run lead to efficiency gains and greater transparency in NHS management. Problems are to be expected in the implementation phase until the new system settles down. These include difficulties with calculating the national tariff, problems for trusts adjusting to a single national price for treatments, and perverse financial incentives for hospitals to do unnecessary work. Guardian, April 3rd 2006, p.1 Challenging the free at point of service stance, and calling for an urgent multiparty review of health policy, the “Doctors for Reform” pressure group claims that a service funded only by taxes will result in rationing and fail to meet patient expectations. The group which finds disillusionment with the current NHS system among voters, proposes an insurance-based alternative. [See also Independent, April 3rd 2006, p.6; Times, Monday April 3rd 2006 p.2] Financial Times, April 19th 2006, p. 15 The lack of an adequate commercial costing system half way through the implementation of “payment by results”, and conflicting policy directions underlie the current NHS deficits according to Darwall who asks whether internal markets can work, and whether Whitehall has the policy design capacity, and implementation skills needed for change on the scale required for NHS reform. The article looks at inaccurate data, management skills and alignment of incentives with efficiency. Health Service Journal, vol.116, Apr. 13th 2006, p.5-7 Reports on plans to achieve financial balance in the NHS in London. These include draconian measures to save money by reducing the number of referrals of patients for hospital treatment. GP decisions could be overruled by PCT referral panels. N. Hawkes & D. Charter Times, April 12th 2006, p.8 Cuts to the annual spend on drugs and temporary staff are proposed by the new NHS chief as a think tank report predicts 100, 000 job losses following reforms. The article looks at training and recruitment levels. [See also Guardian, April 12th 2006 p. 8] Financial Times, April 19th 2006, p.4 Given the discounts that pharmacists obtain from wholesalers and manufacturers of generic drugs, analysis finds the NHS paying up to 78% over the source price. Generic drugs account for 80% of NHS prescriptions while prescriptions overall make up 11% of the NHS budget according to the article. N. Timmins & J. Burns Financial Times, March 31st 2006, p.4 Although pay awards will be phased in for the NHS and other public services, the cost of the rises will consume almost a third of the extra money allocated to the NHS. The article provides comments from representative bodies including the British Medical Association which has described the awards, which will raise health workers’ pay by between 2 and 2.5 per cent, as “vindictive” and likely to alienate the profession. [See also Times, March 31st 2006 p.26; Guardian, March 31st 2006 p. 7] Health Service Journal, vol.116, Apr. 6th 2006, p.14-15 Article reports on a study of the early rollout of the payment by results system in South Yorkshire, where all acute trusts had achieved foundation status by June 2005. The study found that primary care trusts had too little control over hospital activity. Although a wide range of local initiatives had been put in place to try and control activity levels, no overall strategy has been developed to address demand pressures. At the same time, the hospitals had financial incentives to increase activity, and were also beginning to stop running unprofitable services. London: TSO, 2006 (Cm 6752) Key recommendations and conclusions of the Review Body are: 1) an increase in the Agenda for Change pay rates of 2.5 per cent from 1 April 2006; and 2) and increase of 2.5% in the existing minimum and maximum High Cost Area Supplements for Inner London, Outer London and the Fringe. The Review Body also recommends that the health departments ensure that a comprehensive survey is conducted annually to identify the earnings of the remit groups and their location within pay bands. London: TSO, 2006 (Cm 6733) The Review Body took into account the following economic and general considerations: 1) that the health departments were critically concerned about the affordability of the uplift; 2) the continued growth in the number of medical and dental staff in the Hospital and Community Health Service; and 3) that the latest NHS Staff Survey for 2004 showed some improvements in terms of staff satisfaction. The Review Body stated that doctors such as consultants and GPs have benefited financially from new contracts and the pay of doctors compares well with comparator groups. Analysis of figures from the Office of National Statistics indicates that doctors' pay has increased at a much faster rate than the average for high earners in the economy. The Review Body stated that there was no indication that there was a problem in recruiting in London, so there was no reason to increase London weighting Times, April 4th 2006, p.18 The question of which services should remain in a tax-funded core and which are appropriate for co-payment should be the focus of a multi party review of NHS aspirations according to Sikora of Doctors for Reform. Dropping failing areas like provision of hearing aids from the NHS would allow for a modern, innovative system based on insurance and co-payments, while increased rationing would decrease equity as the wealthy could queue jump by going private. J. Carvel and W. Woodward Guardian, March 24th 2006, p.1 Guardian figures show 4000 NHS job losses in the previous fortnight including 700 announced in Prime Minister Blair’s constituency. The Shadow Health Secretary has accused the government of allowing the NHS to sink under financial pressures and Chancellor Gordon Brown of ignoring the NHS in his budget. Plans for dealing with deficits have been submitted to the Healthy Department. [See also Times, March 24th2006 p.28; Independent, March 24th 2006 p.11; Daily Telegraph, March 24th 2006, p.8] Health Service Journal, vol.116, Apr.6th 2006, p.5Money intended public health improvement has instead been spent on NHS staff salary hikes which far exceeded the recommendations of the 2002 Wanless report. The report set out a vision of a “fully engaged” scenario in which people took control of their own health care. Achieving this scenario would require increased productivity, better health improvement services and action to tackle the wider determinants of ill health. In order to support this staff pay rises of 2% per year over 20 years were recommended. Instead, the Department of Health agreed immediate large salary increases under the new GP and consultant contracts and the Agenda for Change programme.

Tiara Malcom, a record-setting forward and one of the top women’s basketball players in University of Delaware history, concluded her ninth season as an assistant coach with her alma mater in 2014-15. Following the season, she was hired as an assistant coach at FIU. With the Blue Hens, Malcom primarily worked with the program’s post players. Additionally, she is responsible for recruiting, equipment and scouting of opponents. During her nine seasons as an assistant at Delaware, Malcom helped pilot the Blue Hens to six 20-win seasons, including three NCAA Tournament appearances and three WNIT berths. Malcom was instrumental in leading the 2013-14 squad into unknown territory after losing one of the most memorable and talented classes in school history following the 2012-13 campaign. The Blue Hens bounced back from graduating seven seniors, including 2013 WNBA Rookie of the Year Elena Delle Donne, and a career total of over 6,500 points, 3,200 rebounds and 1,100 assists in remarkable fashion. Delaware fielded nine freshmen and sophomores in 2013-14 with just three juniors and seniors, a far cry from the squad that reached the NCAA Sweet 16 just a season earlier. The returning Blue Hens combined for a total of 1,505 minutes (20.8 percent), 383 points (15.8 percent) and 269 rebounds (7.5 percent) in 2012-13. Fellow CAA schools predicted Delaware would finish fifth in the league while just one player (Akeema Richards) was chosen to the Preseason All-CAA Second Team. This all served as motivation for UD as the Blue Hens returned to the CAA Championship game for the fourth straight season and earned a berth into the WNIT following a year where Delaware went 20-11 overall and 10-6 in the conference. The Blue Hens traveled north for a WNIT First Round contest wherein the eventual tournament champion, Rutgers, edged UD, 65-61. During that noted 2012-13 season, Malcom helped guide one of the most illustrious squads in Delaware history as the Hens saw another record-breaking year. UD finished the season with an incredible 32-4 mark, went undefeated in CAA play for the second consecutive year and advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the first time in school history. The Hens finished atop the CBI Mid-Major Poll for the second straight season while receiving a No. 15 spot in the Associated Press Poll and a No. 16 spot in the USA Today/Coaches Poll. Delaware also recorded a school-record 27 straight victories, besting the team’s streak of 21 consecutive wins during the 2011-12 slate, and good for third nationally behind Baylor and Notre Dame. Dating to the 2010-11 season, UD has won 37 straight CAA regular season wins, a mark that is good for second nationally behind Baylor and the most in the league since Old Dominion won 95 consecutive contests from 1995 to 2001. The Blue Hens earned a No. 6 seed in the 2013 NCAA Tournament, where Delaware defeated No. 11 West Virginia, 66-53, before upsetting No. 3 North Carolina, 78-69, at a sold-out Bob Carpenter Center to advance to the Sweet 16. UD was unable to make a comeback against No. 2 Kentucky as the Hens ended their run with a 69-62 loss to the Wildcats in Bridgeport, Conn. The 2011-12 Blue Hens collected a record-breaking year with a 31-2 record while going undefeated in CAA play and winning the first postseason game in school history. Delaware set a previous school record for wins in a season including a record 21 straight victories and claimed the first CAA Tournament title in UD history. The Hens earned a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament and posted a 73-42 win over Arkansas Little Rock, the first postseason win by a men’s or women’s basketball team in school history. Delaware ended the year ranked No. 14 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll after climbing as high as No. 7 in early March. A native of nearby Wilmington, Del., the 6-1 Malcom enjoyed an outstanding high school career at Caravel Academy before arriving on the Delaware campus. She was a two-time All-State selection and was named the state’s Co-Player of the Year in 2001. Malcom was a four-year standout for the Hens under Martin, leading the squad to a four-year mark of 89-32, CAA regular season titles in 2003 and 2005 and three berths into the post-season WNIT. Delaware, which went 55-15 in conference action during Malcom’s career, appeared in the CAA Championship game in both 2003 and 2005. A two-time team captain, Malcom was a three-time All-CAA selection, earning second team honors in 2003 and 2004 before garnering first team recognition in 2005, when she was named CAA Player of the Year accolades. As the CAA Player of the Year, Malcom led the league in scoring with 15.5 points per game while ranking among conference leaders with 6.8 rebounds per contest. Malcom was just the third player in Delaware history to be named the conference player of the year. Additionally, she was named the University of Delaware’s Outstanding Senior Female Athlete of the Year for the 2004-05 season. A seven-time CAA Player of the Week, Malcom set school records for career free throws made (535) to lead the CAA at the time and now ranks second in school history and fifth in league history. Malcom is also is second in the Delaware record books for double-figure scoring games (88), sixth in games played (121), scoring (1,545 points) and blocks (109) and 11th in rebounding (794). She averaged 12.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game for her career. Malcom was a two-time CAA Dean Ehlers Award candidate for overall contributions on the court, classroom and community and overcame a partial hearing loss in both ears to star for the Blue Hens. Following her collegiate career, Malcom played professionally during the 2005-06 season in Barreiro, Portugal with the GD ESSA Basketball Club. Malcom was inducted into the University of Delaware Athletics Hall of Fame in November 2012 for her contributions. Malcom earned her bachelor’s degree in family and community services from Delaware in May 2005 while receiving a master’s degree in higher education administration from UD in May 2011. |High School:||Caravel Academy|

Born: 18 February 1955 Birthplace: Paris, France Best known as: Author of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan Lisa See is the author of the non-fiction family history On Gold Mountain: The One Hundred Year Odyssey of My Chinese-American Family and the novel Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. See, who is one-eighth Chinese, grew up in Los Angeles surrounded by her Chinese-American family. After an early career writing for Publishers Weekly and other magazines, See published her first book, On Gold Mountain, in 1995. The story is a sweeping account of her father's side of the family as it moved from China to southern California. The book was a success, and See followed up with three mystery novels set in China: Flower Net (1997), The Interior (1999) and Dragon Bones (2003). Her fourth novel was the critically acclaimed bestseller Snow Flower and the Secret Fan (2005), the story of two women in 19th century China who communicate through a secret written language called "nu shu." See, the daughter of novelist Carolyn See, is also active in the cultural affairs of the Los Angeles Chinese-American community. On Gold Mountain was adapted for the Los Angeles Opera in 2000 with composer Nathan Wang. See wrote a libretto for the production. Copyright © 1998-2016 by Who2?, LLC. All rights reserved.

As of late, my 5 year old LG Flatron L1752S LCD monitor has been acting strangely. The screen flickers (most noticeable if you pay attention to text on any window) when I scroll down webpages or watch video. It's impossible to play games because of the constant black screens that plague my game-time and it takes longer than usual for the screen to return to full brightness after a full-screen app, such as Far Cry 3, has been closed. And once it has returned to normal, the colors look over-saturated and it really becomes hard for me to look at the screen after a while. Now, the first thing that came to my mind was that my GPU was at fault. I re-installed the driver to my AMD Radeon HD 5770, checked its temperature and fan speed at both idle and running states and found them all to be in perfect order. I also made sure of its cables, if they were firmly in place or not. I did the above with my Core 2 Quad and again, found nothing out of the ordinary. [Details on the GPU] GPU temperature at idle: 40 C GPU temperature while running Far Cry 3 at Near Ultra settings: 64-67 C Fan speed at idle: 35 % Fan speed while running Far Cry 3: 50 % (this ruled out fan clogging due to dust) Monitor refresh rate set to: 75 Hz (Changing to 60 Hz didn't help) [A little more detail on the black screen issue] The black screens come at random. Games run fine for the first 5 minutes, after which the black screens come and go erratically. While the screen stays black, sound, movement and everything else stay unaffected. After about 10 minutes, the black screen issue becomes frequent enough to force me to close whatever game I'm playing (Sleeping Dogs, Hitman: Absolution, Far Cry 3). Also, the black screens come at a lesser rate if I stay still or stare at the sky (this made me assume that my GPU is dying, but evidence says otherwise!). Bringing everything down to low and changing the resolution to 800X600 didn't help. [What I haven't done yet] I haven't tried a different monitor yet. I plan to do so in a few hours. I also have not tried changing the VGA cable. ______________________ Have any of you faced similar issues or know anything about this? Please let me know if you need further information on the matter.

The breath of fresh air that was the Fiat 500 when in arrived in Canada won the hearts of quite a few people. During the 2012 calendar year, about 8,500 small-car shoppers chose the cheeky little Fiat. Well, that love affair didn’t last for very long. In 2015, Fiat 500 hatchback sales amounted to just under 3,000 units in Canada. For what can be considered a niche product, this isn’t unusual. Yet FCA is trying to keep the flame alive by cranking out various special-editions of its minicar, including this charming 1957 Edition. The 1957 moniker obviously refers to the year the Cinquecento was introduced to the world, and this special-edition car is offered in a few pastel colours, including our tester’s Celeste Blu paint. The blue-painted alloy wheels have a chromed rim and centre cap, and they provide a nice retro touch to the car. The interior is pretty chic, with brown leather seats, a cream dashboard and wheel, as well as a mix of both colours on the door panels. New for 2016 is a Uconnect 5.0 infotainment system, a huge improvement over the previous radio in the Fiat. Still, there are some hard plastic trim pieces spread about the cabin, and their fit is questionable in some areas. Nothing repulsive, though. Space is more than adequate up front, but the fact that rear-seat occupants, whether they’re adults or children, won’t be very comfortable riding in back will be a surprise to no one. The hatchback’s 269-litre cargo area is a volume we expect from such a small car, although the split seatbacks can be folded down for extra space. The 2016 Fiat 500 1957 Edition gets the base engine under the hood. That means a 1.4-litre four-cylinder lump that produces a modest 101 horsepower and 97 lb-ft of torque. With the five-speed manual, the car can move along at an acceptable pace, as it weighs in at a scant 2,366 lbs. However, the difference between the manual gearbox and the optional six-speed automatic is significant. The latter makes the little Fiat feel wheezy. If we’re hell-bent on a Cinquecento and need an automatic, maybe the 135-hp turbo engine is worth checking out. The manual transmission also makes the Fiat more efficient by more than a litre per 100 km. Official ratings are 7.6/5.9 L/100 km city/highway, and we observed an average of 6.8 during our test. On the complaints list are B-pillars which create blind spots, especially on the left side, and a hard-to-reach washer-fluid filler neck that requires a funnel to avoid spillage when topping it off. The 1957 Edition’s hefty $24,995 base price is off-putting, but then again, no Fiat 500 comes cheap, and that’s probably one of the reasons sales are in a downward spiral. The Cinquecento is above all an emotional choice in the small-car segment, but if we’re willing to spend that much, we’ll get a stylish and enjoyable little runabout.

L.A. Chicano Mural History Documented Via San Bernardino | KCET L.A. Chicano Mural History Documented Via San Bernardino Fresh with a Ph.D. in History from Harvard, Elliott Barkan came to the West Coast and saw a history rising. With the meticulous care of a curious scholar, Barkan began taking photographs of the region as soon as he arrived to teach at Cal State San Bernardino in September of 1968. "I was teaching in the field of early America, but becoming more aware of civil rights," he says, recalling showing films about conditions in urban America. After receiving a doctorate in early American history, he shifted focus to to contemporary American situations. It became, what he calls, "a dual regime of very early America and very modern America." He taught those parallel courses for 38 years. "My training in early America gave me a broader perspective for understanding earlier immigration," he said. His passion for photographing urban enclaves came while he was a Manhattan cab driver. "That prompted me to search out other communities in New York City, but especially in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, and Detroit." Then he found the murals. The history professor may not have completely known all the nuances of all the political subtext of his newly found subject; still, he began scouting for art from San Bernardino to Los Angeles, and as far north as the Bay Area. He knew that it was evidence of a culture's self-identity. At first, there were no murals in the cities he visited, including the parts of Los Angeles he first toured. "I became aware of the murals in East Los Angeles, and combined my urban photography with a focus on murals. The more I searched, the more dramatic were my findings," said the professor of his discovery of the source of California Chicano murals. He claims that this model of mural making was picked up from other communities, both non-Latinos and Latinos, and notably San Francisco. Barkan's photographs of the Chicano murals painted by the first wave of Los Angeles artists are now being exhibited at the Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art at Cal State San Bernardino through May 25. The exhibit, titled "Chicano Muralists in Southern California, 1968-1985: The First Generation of a Cultural Revolution -- Through the Camera of Elliott Robert Barkan," features photographed works from a litany of prominent muralists, including Judith Baca, Charles (Cat) Felix Jr., Gronk, Willie Herron and David Lopez. Operating from his academic post at Cal State San Bernardino, Barkan had the opportunity to capture a number of works located away from the urban core of Los Angeles. Many were eventually lost, some by artists that otherwise may never be documented. Barkan, now professor emeritus in history at Cal State San Bernardino, recently sent the originals and digital copies of the photographs to the Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC) to be archived. "Every collection is significant in documenting and preserving the legacy of muralism in Los Angeles," said Pilar Castillo, Archivist at SPARC, citing the loss of public funds to commission new works, and muralists' difficulty in producing legal public works since 2002. "A large percentage of historic L.A. murals have been destroyed, whitewashed and neglected into decay." "Public art works these days survive at the mercy of a new generation, the shifting political landscape and the greater elements," Castillo continued. "The only way to ensure the survival of these works beyond our personal memories is to amass collections such as Mr. Barkan's photo documentation," adds Castillo, who considers properly archived collections are a "glimpse into a golden-era of our mural history." The year is off to a productive start for Barkan, with two major projects coming into fruition in January. "I just completed about fours years-plus designing and editing a four volume encyclopedia on U.S. immigration history," he said. "It covers the years 1600-2010, with chapters by over 100 scholars. It's 2,000 pages, and over 1 million words." A reception for the exhibition will be held Feb. 23 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the The Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art. "Chicano Muralists in Southern California, 1968-1985: The first generation of a cultural revolution - through the camera of Elliot Robert Barkan" runs from Jan. 26 - May 25, 2013. Curated by Elliot R. Barkan and Eva Kirsch. Top: "Virgen de Guadalupe" (1973) by David Lopez. East Los Angeles, Maravilla Gardens Housing Project. Photo by Elliott Barkan.

eyes that see not By Diogenes (articles ) | Oct 10, 2006 To one side of the altar, a white-robed choir; on the other, a half-dozen priests of various ranks, in white robes trimmed with green vestments. Perhaps Rod Davis, who wrote that line, recently arrived from the planet Zork. It's in the lead paragraph of his article in D Magazine on factionalism in Episcopalian Dallas. Davis's grasp of Christian churchmanship is, to put it gently, no stronger than it needs to be. He is able to see that Anglican conservatives are upset with Bishops Robinson and Schori, and once that fact is fed into the Journalism Generator the article pretty much writes itself, and misses just about everything that's interesting and important. At most recent count, at least seven of the country's 111 Episcopal dioceses and about 150 of the 7,000 congregations want "disassociation" or "alternative primatial oversight" -- the debate is replete with esoteric canon law jargon -- in one form or another. Some, like the Dallas diocese, are exploring alignment directly with Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury. Others, perhaps not convinced that Canterbury is conservative enough, may seek out Peter Akinola, archbishop of Nigeria, where there are definitely no gay bishops, but there are perhaps 20 million Anglicans. Even the irony of mostly white, conservative American suburban congregations looking to pastoral supervision from African bishops doesn't stand in the way. For Davis, the last sentence is just a throwaway line. A more perceptive author would have seen it as providing a key to the controversy -- and not only to the controversy in the Episcopal Church, but to the startling change in self-understanding that the orthodox in all denominations have undergone in the past thirty years. A disaffected congregation splitting off from the main body is nothing new. What is new, and striking, is that these Anglicans are not huddling together for warmth with social and cultural counterparts who share their education, tastes, family connections and politics, but are aligning themselves with -- and even subordinating themselves to -- people of radically different background who believe the same essential truths to be paramount. Moreover, this remarkable venture into "trans-cultural" brotherhood is taking place not where we've been taught to expect it, viz., among polyglot, left-liberal cosmopolitans, but among those our betters assured us would be among the last to countenance it. Davis himself can see the sociology in broad outline, but entirely misses its ecclesial significance, as witness his account of the Christ Church parish in Plano: Given its size, conservative demographics and evangelical bent, it's perhaps no surprise that this church should find itself at odds with its increasingly progressive -- or "liberal," to use the pejorative term -- parent. Clearly, the people who worship here have mistaken their denominations. If not Southern Baptists by another name, surely they belong more to Joel Osteen or T.D. Jakes. This is a social church, where people come not only to worship, but also to find friends, to join groups, and to align with "values." Got it exactly backwards. If you worship with people because they believe what you believe, strong friendships spontaneously emerge as a secondary side-effect. If you go to a church with the primary purpose of making friends, however, you have to compromise or downplay your beliefs in order to succeed. The fact that the hard core, broken-glass conservatives are connecting with Nigeria to find fellow Anglicans shows they belong overwhemingly to the former group, and cannot be linked to a "social church" without violence to the language. The stock progressivist explanation of orthodox Christian teaching on sexuality and the sexes involves some variant of Adorno's vacuous "fear of the other" critique (the Anglican Communion Network crew, and Cardinal Medina-Estevez, can't accept Gene Robinson or Terese Kane because they've never been in a restaurant or on an airplane). When suburbanite Texans are willing to go to Africa to find kinship in doctrine, however, it shows that -- for some at least, faith is more important than familiarity. So who, in this reckoning, is genuinely "conservative"? Clearly the doctrinally orthodox are, by temperament, far more adventurous than their liberal co-religionists, who live and move and have their being in a world of seamless cultural comfort.

' Translation: These unstable freaks are incapable of making friends in the real world so they join together in radical fringe groups just like the Taliban. I don't think Mr. Davis "missed" anything he wanted to see. He spewed forth the left wing party line quite well.

Blood glucose control with insulin prevents hyperglycemia but is associated with an increased incidence of hypoglycemia and may not affect blood glucose variability. Implementation strategies of blood glucose control with insulin in critically ill patients have mainly used manually operated whole blood portable glucose meters. These meters are impracticable, possibly unsafe, and time– and blood–consuming. Utilization of subcutaneous continuous glucose monitoring has the potential to improve the safety (i.e., prevention of hypoglycemia) and effectiveness (i.e., obtain a higher percent of values in the therapeutic range and less blood glucose variability) of insulin titration in critically ill patients. In addition, utilization of subcutaneous continuous glucose monitoring devices is less time– and blood–consuming than the use of manually operated whole blood portable glucose meters. Medtronic has developed a subcutaneous continuous glucose–monitoring system especially for critically ill patients, called the Sentrino®. 1. The primary objective of this study is to determine the accuracy of subcutaneous CGM glucose measurements as compared with current standard of care blood glucose levels measurements; 2. The secondary objective of this study is to train healthcare workers to use of the Medtronic Sentrino® system, and to obtain feedback from the users on the usability of the Medtronic Sentrino® system. This study concerns an investigator–initiated observational implementation study in critically ill patients subjected to blood glucose control with insulin, aiming at a blood glucose level between 90 and 150 mg/dL. Critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care units (ICU) of the Academic Medical Center at the University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The intervention exists of use of Sentrino®. Main study parameters/endpoints: The main study parameter is the accuracy of subcutaneous CGM glucose measurements. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The Sentrino® has been tested and validated in a number of pre–clinical and clinical studies in patients outside the intensive care unit (ICU), and has been found to be safe and accurate for trend. Potential benefits include reduced risk of hypoglycemia, and decreased glycemic variability. Burden and risks include local irritations, bleeding and infection at the site of the sensor. |- Main changes (audit trail)| |- RECORD||30-jan-2013 - 9-feb-2013|

provide squash option when merging merge requests Add a checkbox "Squash into one commit" below "Merge" button of a merge request. The default state of that checkbox should be configurable per instance and per project. The UI would ask for a commit message (defaulting to branch name) and then execute the equivalent of 'git checkout other-branch; git merge --squash this-branch; git commit -m "commit-message", close the merge request and delete the branch (if the other checkbox is ticked). This is a common workflow in projects and not supporting it causes a lot of confusion and extra work. Continued here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/4106 Santeri Vesalainen commented Hopefully this gets to Community Edition, at least eventually. Github has just announced similar feature https://github.com/blog/2141-squash-your-commits . Interesting comments, had to vote/subscribe. Bruno Lorenço Lopes commented It would be very nice to have this feature in the community edition! Ionut DINU commented this would be a grate feature Dan Cech commented +1 on this, it would be great to avoid having a multitude development commits cluttering history in master while still being able to use the web UI to accept merge requests. In that instance I think it is sensible to attribute the commit by default to the user who opened the merge request, but allow the person doing the merge to select a different user to attribute it to if desired. The merge --squash option is used as the workflow in several companies I have worked for. This option would be perfect for an enterprise use of git where committing to the master branch should be a single commit per feature or issue. The developer branch will contain the history and incremental commits but once the code review is completed / merge request is finished all other developers care about is the final changes (not intermediate steps) Tomáš Procházka commented I vote for this feature. On open source project is great if is possible to trace source of commits, especially if multiple peoples work on it. But in company is completely different situation. Author of the pull request is always one user, if reviewer want some changes it produce more useless commits in the origin branch. And result should be only one commit with desired feature. @GitLab: maybe this is not what you meant, but just to clarify: `git merge --squash` does not force push and does not touch the source branch: it only creates a new commit. AdminGitLab team (Admin, Gitlab) commented In my opinion squashing also changes history, the sha1's and the ordering are now gone from the repo and put into some text. Anything that involves force pushes involves changing history, although I agree that squashing has less of an impact. ^Sytse The question in my mind is: who would be the author of the new commit if the merge request has multiple authors. `merge --squash` just creates a new commit under the current author by default. We can of course make Gitlab chose an author smartly, maybe just chose the one who made the most commits, and if draw take the one who made the earliest commit. @Fabio: I believe they are not the same: rabase changes history, and this does not: it creates a single commit on top of the target that is the squash of all new commits. Fabio Sobral commented As noted by Maxime, this is similar to http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/suggestions/4289653-rebase-merge-requests-in-the-web-ui. Not exactly the same thing, but kind of different ways to implement the same workflow. Maybe consider merging both suggestions? IDK how this works. Sam Gleske commented This would be more useful if GitLab tracked in a single merge-request multiple force push revisions. That is to say if the state of the MR has been changed you should be able to see the old state and the current state as well as N number of changed states. I would submit that as another feedback issue but I'm currently out of votes. Having that capability would compliment another feedback of mine nicely: http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/suggestions/6306111-more-robust-code-diff-ing-in-mr Andrew Meyer commented @Gerard "Once the commit has been pushed, the oppoortunity for squashing has been lost" That's actually not true. After the code review is complete, you can squash + force push. Gerard Stannard commented Having to squash locally at the command line means we don't push small commits for immediate code review feedback. Once the commit has been pushed, the oppoortunity for squashing has been lost, so developers tend not to commit until they're ready to squash many small commits. Jody Mulkey commented Currently, merging using the GitLab UI results in all commits within the source branch being inserted into the history of the target branch. For a large feature or fix with lots of commits, this clutters the target branch with potentially extraneous commits. This clutter can make it difficult to cherry-pick features/bug fixes into and out of other branches (for releases, for example), and build clean release notes. This can be worked around by doing manual command-line steps to merge the source into the target. It would be extremely convenient, however, to do this from the GitLab UI. Erik Donohoo commented I can't stress how important this is. It would be magnificent to have this. Ryan Shelley commented This would be extremely useful as part of our GitFlow process to be able to create releases of individual features. More importantly, the ability to extract a problematic feature from a release (feature that wasn't completely tested or is buggy). Otherwise it's difficult to revert the individual commits of a feature to remove it from a release.

The major media's account of the Supreme Court's decision in the Hobby Lobby case was typical of the way the case has been misreported from the start. The New York Times headline read, "Supreme Court Rejects Contraceptives Mandate for Some Corporations." Politico led with "SCOTUS sides with Hobby Lobby on birth control." Others were similar. That's not what the case was about, and you'd think that major news organizations might at least get the basic facts straight. The litigants -- the Green and Hahn families, owners of Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties respectively -- did not have religious objections to contraception. They might have if they were Catholic, but they weren't, and they didn't. The Hahns are Mennonites and the Greens Christians of no particular denomination. Both families provided coverage for contraceptives in their health plans. Hobby Lobby provided coverage for 18 different methods of birth control. What both the Greens and the Hahns objected to were the regulations promulgated by the Department of Health and Human Services that would have required them, on pain of severe fines, to cover four more methods, including the morning after pill, that the litigants (and not just they) consider abortifacients. No matter how many times the press calls this a case about contraception, the truth is that it was about abortion. Neither family could, in conscience, be a party to paying for abortion. The HHS regulations exempted some corporations from the regulations, including churches, some nonprofits and the "exclusively religious activities of any religious order." Religion, the government essentially argued, was something that people do on Sunday mornings or in specifically religious organizations like Catholic Charities. But a for-profit corporation, the government argued, could not possibly "exercise religion." Yet, as Justice Samuel Alito argued for the majority, people do not lose their free exercise rights when they form for-profit organizations. "A corporation is simply a form of organization used by human beings to achieve desired ends." And just because a corporation is organized to earn a profit doesn't mean that it cannot perform religious or other laudable, nonprofit maximizing goals. Corporations may "take costly pollution-control and energy conservation measures that go beyond what the law requires. A for-profit corporation that operates facilities in other countries may exceed the requirements of local law regarding working conditions and benefits." There were good constitutional arguments for ruling that the HHS mandate violates the free exercise clause of the First Amendment. The Constitution itself showed deference to the religious objections of Quakers and Mennonites at the time of adoption to swearing oaths. The Constitution accordingly requires that officeholders "swear or affirm" their oath of office. But the Supreme Court did not reach constitutional questions, because perfectly clear statutes, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 and the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000, required the government to give the broadest possible scope to the free exercise of religion. RFRA forbids the government from "substantially burdening" a person's free exercise of religion, unless the burden is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest and is the least restrictive means of achieving that governmental interest. That the Greens' and Hahns' free exercise was burdened was not in doubt. Hobby Lobby, for example, would have incurred fines of up to $475 million per year. The government asserted that its mandates served important, if vague, public purposes, such as "public health" and "gender equality." The government did not come close to proving that the mandate was the "least restrictive" alternative available. At the heart of the government's case was an attempt to steamroll our varied and, yes, diverse nation into conformity on subjects that remain deeply divisive and keenly felt. Like the Affordable Care Act itself, which was railroaded through on a slender majority, the HHS regulations attempted to crush opposition even among the devout. Can you, in the name of "public health" or "gender equality," strong-arm those with religious objections into acquiescing on abortion? RFRA threw a cloak of protection over religious expression in all its forms, and the Supreme Court, by one vote, upheld religious freedom.

Celebrity Branding Wins and Fails Over time, entertainers have given their images re-boots through extraordinary endorsement deals. Sometimes it’s for the best (Jay- Z’s Roc Nation deal) or for the worst (Bob Dole’s Viagra “Courage” ads). Nonetheless, it gives us more ads to sit through on YouTube, and even more money in celebs pockets. Take a look at the biggest celeb branding wins and unfortunate fails. (Why Cole, why?)
