Update on former Legal Aid client
Brenda Vera was a speaker at Legal Aid's 2010 annual event. She told the crowd of 1,300 how Legal Aid helped her family and made an impact on her life. Ms. Vera graduated with honors in 2011 from Lincoln West High School. She is now a freshman in college and hopes to pursue a career helping people – perhaps in the legal field.

Who do you think you are? - Live is here again
The reason is, of course, that lots of people come to London for WDYTYA?-Live and take the opportunity to do some research while they are here. It would be interesting to know if other repositories in the London area have the same rise in reader numbers; it's also one of the busiest days of the year for the Society of Genealogists because the good folks there are busily packing up quite a chunk of their library to decamp to Olympia for the duration of the show. Newcomers to family history may not realise that for many years before WDYTYA?-Live, the premier annual event in London was the SoG Family History Fair. This is now part of the bigger event, and visitors will always notice a considerable SoG presence. Before I took on the present day job I used to be one of the volunteers who helped set up and break down at the old venue, the Royal Horticultural Society Halls in Westminster. I was very good at putting up signposts and folding table covers.
This year I shall be there all three days, Friday and Saturday as part of my job, and on Sunday I shall be there just for the fun of it. This is the kind of thing I choose to do in my spare time. Sad, but true. I shall be doing some 'Ask the experts' shifts on the FamilySearch stand today, and in the SoG Ask the Experts area tomorrow. I am also on stage tomorrow giving a session on The National Archives new Discovery service. In between I shall be around and about (motto 'I don't gossip, I network) in the hall, with at least one meeting and a radio interview.
Well, since I started writing this post I have arrived at Olympia, which is busying up nicely. Let's see what the day brings. Wagons roll...

Questions raised by players regarding 8 July quiz (LOG ERRORS and SAVE EXCEPTIONS)(464)
10 comments:
The following is my original email:ReplyDelete
The behavior of combining "SAVE EXCEPTIONS" and "LOG ERRORS" within a FORALL statement is undefined for Oracle 10g; however, in 11g an ORA-38909 runtime exception is raised. Although one might guess that "LOG ERRORS REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED" would result in SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS always being empty (which is indeed the case for Oracle 10g), it seems unfair to penalize a player for not divining the effects of using statements with undocumented behavior. It is unlikely that one would experiment with the combined use of "SAVE EXCEPTIONS" and "LOG ERRORS" (except in conjunction with the PL/SQL Challenge). Given that Oracle added an exception in 11g to address this issue, it is likely that the ability to use the combination in 10g was an accident of implementation and not intended behavior.
Although I am not happy with this quiz question, I am not advocating a change in scoring.
I strongly encourage you to continue offering questions that explore unusual, but documented, aspects of the PL/SQL language. Please don't let the PL/SQL Challenge devolve into a trivia contest instead of a competition based on the practical application of intended and documented behavior of the PL/SQL language.
Steven asked me to supply a script to demonstrate the issue which I included with the following email:
The attached script will not raise an exception when run on 10g but will raise an ORA-38909 exception when run on 11g. I encapsulated the "FORALL" in a stored procedure to demonstrate that it compiles successfully and that the exception occurs at runtime. If test_values is empty then no exception is raised.
Had the question been based on using 11g instead of 10g I would have had no issue since the exception is documented in Error Messages. If oracle intended to permit the combined use of "SAVE EXCEPTIONS" and "LOG ERRORS" in 10g I doubt the capability would have been removed in 11g. When researching this I found reference to a message from Oracle at http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/perl-dbi-dev/3837250. While the message indicates that Oracle is aware that the combination works in 10g, the lack of documentation in the Oracle manuals and the subsequent addition of an exception for this in 11g leads me to the conclusion that the capability "just happened" in 10g.
Again I want to thank you for your prompt responses to email. I also appreciate the professional manner in which you have handled the issues that I and others have raised.
Below is the script that I included:
CREATE TABLE test_table (test_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY)
EXECUTE sys.DBMS_ERRLOG.create_error_log('TEST_TABLE','TEST_ERRLOG');
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test_proc IS
TYPE test_values_t IS TABLE OF test_table%ROWTYPE
test_values test_values_t;
test_values(1).test_id := 1;
FORALL i IN 1 .. test_values.COUNT
INSERT INTO test_table
VALUES test_values(i)
LOG ERRORS INTO test_errlog REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
END test_proc;
EXECUTE test_proc;
Fascinating! By far the best part of the PL/SQL Challenge for me is when I learn something new about PL/SQL from a player. I was not even aware of this new error in Oracle11g.ReplyDelete
Having said that, I am a bit puzzled. When I run John's script I see the error. When I run the code below, I do not get an error. Can anybody see why that might be?
DROP TABLE parts
CREATE TABLE parts
id NUMBER
, name VARCHAR2 (10)
INSERT INTO parts VALUES (1, 'Gearbox');
INSERT INTO parts VALUES (2, 'Box');
DROP TABLE err$_parts
DBMS_ERRLOG.create_error_log (dml_table_name => 'PARTS');
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test_se_le
TYPE filters_t IS TABLE OF parts.name%TYPE;
l_filters filters_t := filters_t ('G%', 'B%');
FORALL indx IN 1 .. l_filters.COUNT
UPDATE parts
SET name = name || name
WHERE name LIKE l_filters (indx)
LOG ERRORS INTO err$_parts REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
SELECT * FROM err$_parts
Actually the part I had trouble with was "the SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS pseudo-collection will always be empty after executing that statement".ReplyDelete
An update that raises a unique key violation doesn't trigger DML error logging. So in this case, you can get errors in SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS
Example tested in 10.2.0.4 EE and XE:
clear screen
drop table test_errlog purge;
drop table test_table purge;
CREATE TABLE test_table (test_id INTEGER primary key, test_val integer unique);
EXECUTE sys.DBMS_ERRLOG.create_error_log('TEST_TABLE','TEST_ERRLOG');
insert into test_table select level, level from dual connect by level < 6;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test_proc IS
TYPE test_values_t IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
test_values test_values_t;
test_values(1) := 1;
test_values(2) := 2;
test_values(3) := 3;
test_values(4) := 4;
FORALL i IN 1 .. test_values.COUNT
UPDATE test_table
SET test_val = CASE WHEN test_id in (1,2) THEN 10 ELSE 20 END
WHERE test_id = test_values(i)
LOG ERRORS INTO test_errlog REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
FOR i IN 1..sql%bulk_exceptions.count LOOP
FOR c_rec in (SELECT test_id, test_val from TEST_TABLE) loop
END test_proc;
show errors procedure test_proc
EXECUTE test_proc;
I also made a
post in my blog about that issue in my blog.
The exception doesn't occurs in 11g with update or delete.
I didn't test with merge but I think it will occur.
I'm almost sure that the behavior of combining "SAVE EXCEPTIONS" and "LOG ERRORS" within a FORALL statement is not undefined for Oracle 10g (like for instance the triggers).
BTW my testing I used a trigger (insert, delete, update) in the table that raised an exception so I could test all the distinct DML (insert, delete, update)
Just like John, I was asked by Steven to reply to this post.ReplyDelete
As John already explained the situation I mentioned in the email, I'll just say I agree with everything he said (including the part that I'm not asking for a recount).
This really seems like a hidden and not assumed bug, as there is pretty much zero documentation about this error, and it only applies to INSERTs (UPDATEs and DELETEs don't raise the exception, as first pointed out to me by Adriano Teixeira). Also, it's not backward compatible, which means everything that uses this will suddenly stop working after the upgrade.
I actually agree with the only explanation I read coming from someone from Oracle (that this is not a good practice, and there's no reason to use both), but this is really a wicked way to "force" this.
The explanation given in the Quiz answer is perfectly logical in saying that the SQL layerReplyDelete
evaluates the SQL outcome of the statement
BEFORE the pl/sql layer, which means that if we use REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED
(and to this we should add that we also do not hit any of the cases excepted from the LOG ERRORS capturing as by Oracle's documentation),
then we should in fact end with errors logged in the error table and an empty SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS pseudo-collection.
Though I did not apply this reasoning, the question looked to me very challenging because
I have never thought of using the two features together. Therefore I tried it out before asnwering the quiz, and it happened that I tried it on Oracle11gR1, which caused the
ORA-38909 error... and I was sure of having chosen the right answer ...
The misleading thing is that the text of this error says:
ORA-38909: DML Error logging is not supported with BATCH ERROR mode
so, not a single word about any of using SAVE EXCEPTIONS (is this what they call "batch mode" ?!?) or using LOG ERRORS or the two of them together.
Since the same test worked ok with SAVE EXCEPTIONS removed, it seemed natural to consider this as the culprit.
If this combination were illegal, then I would have expected a compilation error to be returned and not a run-time error.
Anyway, a very instructive question, from which I learned very much.
I completely agree with Steve's position,
the best thing with this challenge is that we can always learn new things, even by doing small tests !
Thanks & Best Regards,
Iudith Mentzel
I am in agreement with Gary, I also sent the same scenario as he mentioned. The correct choice as per Steve was:ReplyDelete
"If, within a FORALL statement, you include (in a syntactically valid fashion) both SAVE EXCEPTIONS and LOG ERRORS with the rejection limit set to UNLIMITED, then the SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS pseudo-collection will always be empty after executing that statement."
This is definitely not true "always". But I agree that this question has cleared a lot of concepts and I appreciate Steve's efforts to come up with these kind of tricky ones.

Sorry about the delay in responding. I've been busy getting ready for the playoff.ReplyDelete
So....if the scenario I described in my question is not "always" right, then that choice is wrong.
I will issue a correction and adjust scores and ranks....very soon!
This is also a great reinforcement for my new checklist for quizzes - that use of the word "always" should have been and now mos definitely IS a red flag for any future quizzes.
Thanks for all the great analysis and learning experience!
I too had raised the same question in my blog @ http://doubtregarding8thjulyquestion.blogspot.com/ on 8th jul.ReplyDelete
thank god i got more info here than i expected :-)

On top of that, the guys were gracious enough to sign an Ibanez JS20 for me at the session. I have a house, a couple of cars, my own business, etc. – but the signed guitar is ABSOLUTELY the greatest thing I own.

About Southwestern
SU Statement on Religious Diversity
Southwestern University is a crossroads for a range of communities. We are a meeting place for and home to a wide array of cultures, generations, academic disciplines, and perspectives.
Consonant with the educational mission of The United Methodist Church, our United Methodist heritage, and Southwestern University's Core Purpose – fostering a liberal arts community whose values and actions encourage contributions toward the well being of humanity – we recognize that diversity in one category is impossible without diversity in others. We are a meeting place for differing religious beliefs and practices as well as spiritualities, and we encourage, and are committed to providing institutional support to a diversity of such traditions, and we understand that an enlightened model of religious diversity also encourages the presence and perspective of humanists, agnostics, and atheists.
We are committed to making it as easy as possible for students, faculty, and staff to participate in the celebrations and observances of their respective faith communities. We facilitate participation of Southwestern students in religious communities beyond the campus, and welcome our neighbors to religious practices and celebrations on campus.
Our goal is to be respectful and appreciative of our various religious and non-religious traditions. We seek to provide educational opportunities for each of us to learn about one another's cultures and practices. Dialogue can sometimes be painful; the legacies of intolerance run through the histories of almost all religious and secular traditions. Respectful dialogue, nevertheless, is the first step in modeling a peaceful world, in welcoming what is strange, in making new friends, and in deepening our lives. Indeed, no position should be imposed from one person on another. We welcome dialogues based on mutual consent in which the explanation of each person's secular or religious position is offered.

Certain icons throughout history are so important we are unable to overlook them. They have left such a lasting impression on our society that their mark will go down in history, forever remembered for their strength. In the world of herbs and natural health, Ginseng is one of those icons.
Ginseng – an Herbal Icon of Life
By the early 1900s, stories of ginseng's soul-strengthening, eye-brightening, and heart-opening abilities had spread so far that Korea could no longer keep up with the world-wide demand. Deep in the Manchuria Mountains of China, Ginseng was originally used as food, but the positive effect the root had on villagers was undeniable. By the third century AD, ginseng was so highly valued for its strength-giving and rejuvenating powers that it had become an emblem of life itself. The demand for ginseng root had become so high that it fueled the Chinese silk trade in Korea. Many Chinese emperors revered the herb so strongly that they were willing to pay buckets of gold for a single root, in hopes of becoming the strongest and most agile emperor in history. Ginseng became an icon of health and life.
Modern research has provided us with copious amounts of information about the miracle root Ginseng. With more than 28 therapeutic elements, ginseng is rich in vitamins and minerals, and can truly help the body in a natural way. Ginseng is one of the few herbs known as an adaptogen. Ginseng has led the way for adaptogen herbs throughout most of the world, and is now widely available as an herbal tincture.
The Power of Adaptogens
Adaptogen herbs get their name from their "adaptable" traits. Adaptogens interact with each body in a unique way. By regulating various hormones, these powerful herbs can provide all-over body support. Cherished in ancient medicine as "longevity herbs," adaptogens harmonize with your body, providing a multitude of benefits. Among the most well-known adaptogens in the western world is Schizandra, made popular by Dr. Oz, who called the herb a miracle remedy for anti-aging. Schizandra is called the "Eastern Prince" for its power and strength. Several herbs provide benefits similar to Schizandra and Ginseng. In fact, other herbs may even address your personal needs more directly.
An Elixir of Life – Tulsi
Tulsi, also known as Holy Basil, is referred to as an "elixir of life" in Ayurveda. Also thought to promote longevity, Tulsi helps balance hormones in the body. The herb will benefit type 2 diabetics by reducing blood glucose levels, and may reduce cholesterol. Like many adaptogens, Tulsi is rich in antioxidants, which gives it strong anti-tumoral properties, protects the body from radiation, and scavenges for free radicals. As a cardioprotective medicine, Tulsi promotes good heart health. Its beneficial properties do not end there—an immunity booster, Tulsi preparations have been used to treat the common cold and ward off infection!
Ashwagandha – Ginseng's potent and undiscovered cousin
Also an Indian herb, Ashwagandha is slowly gaining popularity among health and wellness enthusiasts. Known as Indian Ginseng by some, Ashwagandha interacts with the body's Thyroid. By regulating Thyroid hormones, Ashwagandha can provide relief for a number of ailments. In ancient times, the herb was applied directly to tumors. Its antioxidant properties may slow the growth of cancer cells. As with many adaptogens, the herb will help regulate blood glucose levels and therefore may be beneficial to diabetics. Ostearthritis patients may also take interest in Ashwagandha, as it can provide symptom and pain relief. The herb is naturally sedative, and can help ease stress and anxiety. Along with antioxidants and medicinal compounds, Ashwagandha is a great source of iron. Its high iron content will increase hemoglobin levels, which is beneficial to anemic patients.
Looking for more on adaptogens? Get a little bit of background information, or read about how they support the entire body. If you're deciding which adaptogen is best for you, take a look at this article on Rhodiola Rosea.

CAIRO — The Muslim women in Marwa Adel's photographs are shadows, repressed by custom, religion, marriage and regret. While nude, the figures are obscured by sepia scrims, scrawled upon with stifling words — as if their true selves may never be known.
Like their creator, a single mother edging at the bounds of artistic freedom in a patriarchal society, the images are at once vulnerable and defiant. A man from the Muslim Brotherhood, the nation's dominant political force, which is infusing Islam into a once-secular government, scolded her at a recent exhibition.
"He had a long beard and he stood up and told me, 'How could you do something like this? You are a Muslim.' He said women should be veiled and covered. His kind wants us to cover our minds, our issues. I told him, 'Don't worry about me. I know my God very well.'"

Can the Cowboys Be a Playoff Team This Year?
There will be changes at both one starting safety position with Abram Elam taking over for Alan Ball. That is an obvious upgrade. Sean Lee may wrestle the starting role away from Keith Brooking while Brooking tries to regain his health. On offense the #3 receiver spot is still unsettled but it appears that Kevin Ogletree is doing his best to win the job. Many believe that the team will be better off without Roy Williams but his size gave an advantage in the red zone that is hard to match. Montrae Holland is penciled in at right guard but there is still a chance that the Cowboys could sign a free agent there or that David Arkin could take the job. And Tyron Smith will be the new starter at right tackle.
So there are changes but not the type of wholesale roster turnover you would normally see from a team coming off of a 6-10 record. But with Jason Garrett running the show it appears that he has a coaching style that will get the most out of his talented players. And the new defensive coordinator, Rob Ryan, is bringing a new attacking style and a new attitude to the defensive side of the ball. Changing your defensive scheme is not just a small tweak so you can't just look at the players but you also have to consider the tactics.
Tony Romo is the X factor in all of this. Sure, the team won some games with Jon Kitna and even Stephen McGee. But the playmaking ability of Tony Romo makes the offense exponentially better. If the offensive line can gel quickly and give Romo time there are a lot of weapons for opposing defenses to handle. Miles Austin, Dez Bryant, Jason Witten, and Felix Jones are four skill position players that can scare a defense as individuals let alone as a collective group. But it will all depend on how good the offensive line plays this season. If the line is even decent then you can expect the offense to be high scoring.
Rob Ryan's defense is going to attack and confuse the opposing offense. The Cowboys will no longer line up a basic front and simply react to the offense. The defense will be aggressive and make big plays but probably also give up some big plays. But you can expect more sacks and turnovers and probably more defensive scores. I have no doubt that the defense will be improved this season.
On special teams the big difference may be the kicker. David Buehler is in an intense battle right now for the starting kicker role with Dan Bailey from Oklahoma State. We all saw last season how erratic Buehler can be. He can make kicks under pressure and even hit game winners with the pressure on but he can also miss an extra point to help lose a game. I'll take consistency over the big leg any day. I just hope that the coaches go with the kicker who proves to be the most consistent during the preseason.
So the big question is whether the Cowboys can make the playoffs this season. I think they absolutely have the talent to do it. But the biggest question mark for me will be the play of the offensive line. I believe the defense will be good enough to take the Cowboys deep into the playoffs based on scheme alone. But you have to score points to win and the Cowboys won't go very far if Tony Romo is running for his life every play.
The Cowboys have four preseason games to get the reconstructed offensive line to gel. To me that will be the most interesting thing to watch as the preseason progresses. Hopefully we will see them improve as the preseason goes on. By the end of the next four weeks we should have a very good idea of just how good the Cowboys can be this year.

As far as Buehler vs. Bailey is concerned at the kicker position, you pointed out that the most consistent kicker should get the job. True, but Buehler has one more factor in his favor, and that's his his speed and athleticism bolstering kickoff coverage. How many times have we seen Buehler make a saving tackle on kickoffs after the first wave of defenders whiffs? Buehler is one of few kickers who must be respected by the opposing team's returners, not just an orange cone to blow past on the way to the end zone.ReplyDelete

Fgured you'd care to see this. Bear fans taking a stance against Roy Williams' first down dance. It's gaining a lot of media attention in Chicago, we're now hitting up reputable Cowboys blogs in hopes they pick up the story as well.ReplyDelete
We're going to donate money to the charity of Roy's choice should he choose to cease the 1st down dance.

49ers pick up Goldston and Whitner. 6 million total to our 5 million. Cutting Igor would've created the cap room for this. In my view, both players are upgrades.ReplyDelete

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a serious disorder in which the proteins that control blood clotting become over active.
Alternative Names
Consumption coagulopathy; DIC
When you are injured, proteins in the blood that form blood clots travel to the injury site to help stop bleeding. If you have DIC, these proteins become abnormally active throughout the body. This may be due to inflammation, infection, or cancer.
Over time, the clotting proteins in your blood are consumed or "used up." When this happens, you have a high risk of serious bleeding, even from a minor injury or without injury. You may also have bleeding that starts spontaneously (on its own). The disease can also cause healthy red blood cells to break up when they travel through the small vessels that are filled with clots.
Risk factors for DIC include:
Blood transfusion reaction
Cancer, especially certain types of leukemia
Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis)
Infection in the blood, especially by bacteria or fungus
Liver disease
Pregnancy complications (such as placenta that is left behind after delivery)
Recent surgery or anesthesia
Severe tissue injury (as in burns and head injury)
Large hemangioma (a blood vessel that is not formed properly)
- Bleeding, possibly from many sites in the body
- Blood clots
- Drop in blood pressure
Exams and Tests
You may have any of the following tests:
Complete blood countwith blood smear exam
- Fibrin degradation products
Partial thromboplastin time(PTT) Prothrombin time(PT)
- Serum
There is no specific treatment for DIC. The goal is to determine and treat the underlying cause of DIC.
Supportive treatments may include:
- Plasma transfusions to replace blood clotting factors if a large amount of bleeding is occurring
- Blood thinner medicine (heparin) to prevent blood clotting if a large amount of clotting is occurring
Outlook (Prognosis)
Outcome depends on what is causing the disorder. DIC can be life-threatening.
Possible Complications
- Bleeding
- Lack of blood flow to the arms, legs, or vital organs
Calling your health care provider
Go to the emergency room or call 911 if you have bleeding that does not stop.
Get prompt treatment for conditions known to bring on this disorder.

PL/SQL Challenge "Take the Quiz" is down: 14 July(501)
4 comments:
This sounds like a non playing day, given the downtime. Indeed too bad... Nice error though: ORA-14551: Cannot perform a DML operation inside a query. You can make that one into one of the questions ;-) An update to a table in a function that is in a query, I guess?ReplyDelete
To confirm what many of you may have suspected: The results from the quiz for 14 July will not be counted towards your score or ranking, though you are welcome to play the quiz. It was unavailable for over four hours, and according to our rules it must then be voided, since it is possible that a group of players would not have an opportunity to play the quiz. My apologies. I may, indeed, write about what happened, but it could be that it is simply too embarrassing. :-)ReplyDelete
Hello All,ReplyDelete
It looks like besides the quiz of 14/07 not being available for some time, there was also another problem.
I did answer the quiz and even answered it correctly, however, when looking today at the answers, the system warned me that I seemed not to have taken it ...
Now, after reading this thread, I think that this is maybe a side effect of having removed that day's quiz at all ...
But in such case I think that the warning should have saud just that:
"Quiz for 14/07 was removed due to ...".
Just a suggestion maybe ...
Thanks & Best Regards,
Iudith Mentzel
That's a good idea, Iudith. This was the first time we have had to void a quiz and it turns out that we did not have good procedures in place to handle this. We are working on putting those in.ReplyDelete

PHP is a general-purpose scripting language used worldwide on infrastructures of many governments and companies (Facebook, etc). Unfortunately, behind the power and the ease of this environment, real technical threats exist. Many vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely, which allows attackers to steal or destroy data from sources involved in the targeted infrastructure (SQL databases, emails, files, etc).
During this training, we will focus on advanced PHP hacking techniques, that might be used by attackers in order to penetrate and compromise remote networks, systems, services, applications, code... Thanks to this training, you will learn every needed concept to become a master at PHP Security thanks to the lectures, and you'll also master practical issues thanks to the hands-on exercises in our local information warfare laboratory.
After this session with hacking experts from TEHTRI-Security, you will really know how cyber invaders work and move through PHP attacks so that they can jump down to your networks and commit evil cyber-crimes.

Now that Managed Services and the Cloud have had a little bit of time to percolate, without many business owners realizing it, another new wave of technology has snuck up on them.
While Blackberries were once the defacto standard corporate answer to accessing email remotely, iPhones and Droids were taking over the personal device market.
And while this was happening, a subtle but forceful wave has swept over the business environment changing just about everything related to remote access. The iPad came and added some serious inertia to this movement.
What is this wave I'm talking about? Well, if you haven't heard - it's called BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). This is the concept of staff bringing in their own personal devices and accessing various pieces of corporate information - email, documents, even remote access right into network resources.
While this concept (remote access) isn't all that new, the capabilities of these new devices along with the concept of actually managing them and controlling them is. While BYOD has its own inherent obstacles to overcome, they can all be wrapped up into the concept of MDM - Mobile Device Management.
This is the overarching concept of how the IT department goes about managing these devices - both personal ones as well as company issued. From an IT management perspective, it's becoming one of the most difficult things to control. And we're only at the infant stage of this movement.
I've seen estimates that the worldwide cloud opportunity is anywhere between $166 billion and $280 billion in the next few years. Compare this with the estimates of mobility representing between $1 and $2 trillion dollars! This only begins to show what we're talking about here.
Anyway you look at it, without an organized approach, a defined set of policies to implement, and the appropriate tools to do it, Mobile Device Management is just a concept to most. While MDM can be quite a messy undertaking, it's critical to understand its importance. Without the appropriate approach, hours and hours of time could be wasted setting up and managing these devices manually.
Without managing and controlling access to these devices, proprietary information could now be accessed from anywhere by anyone. What would the cost be to your company if your competitor got a hold of your client list? What would the cost be if you lost proprietary intellectual property? If you were a CPA firm, could your business continue if your clients knew that all of your tax returns were in some unauthorized person's hands?
If you're an investment advisor, what are you doing to ensure you're meeting your fiduciary responsibilities and SEC compliance? If you're in the health care field, what are you doing to ensure these devices are controlling access to information to ensure you're meeting HIPAA compliance?
In the old days, all of these issues could easily (relatively speaking) be controlled within the confines of the computing resources within the four walls of your office. Even with the advent of "The Cloud", these are still relatively controllable issues. Mobile devices (and the different flavors of them all) add to the level of complexity exponentially.
This is where we come in. As a Managed Service Provider we have the systems, processes, and resources already in place to take this on for our clients. Mobile Device Management is just another opportunity for us to help our clients manage and control their information resources as well as their information.
This is within our area of expertise and provides a great value proposition to our clients. While this is a new trend now, I believe it's going to be the future of computing - and we're just the right guys to help our clients navigate through these waters. I'd love to hear what you think of this latest "trend".

Steve Carty: Art Chats at The Artist Project 2014
The Artist Project 2014 recently celebrated it's 7th year as Toronto's most celebrated contemporary art fair. From seasoned collectors and first-time art buyers, to gallery dealers and interior designers, visitors explored and discovered works of art from over 250 top contemporary artists from Canada and abroad. Amongst the art on the walls and grand installations throughout, The Art Chats series offered a variety of engaging seminars hosted by leading art and design experts, one being Hermann & Audrey's Steve Carty. We sat down to discuss what he hoped to get across to those in attendance at the Art Chat.
What was your main goal as a featured artist in The Art Chats series at The Artist Project this year?
I was invited by the director of The Artist Project, she had come to my past Soho house talk. I wanted to really talk about passion and how I inspire people, and how I stay inspired as an artist. I got amazing feedback from people making comments on Facebook and Instagram saying the art was cool—but they still lacked some inspiration, which I hoped to lend to those at The Artist Project this year.
How do you get inspired?
The first way to stay inspired or get inspired is by surrounding yourself with inspirational people. It's what I do, it's what I have at Hermann & Audrey, people that I can come and hang out with that are doing really great things. Everybody is hustling and it makes me hustle and stay on top of my game. Each one, teaches one. If you don't have inspiring people to be around, go find them. Go to artist studios, open houses with artists and photographers, go to galleries where there are people doing cool stuff, and rub up against them. Inspiration is like a virus. You can catch it from someone else and then pass it on. That was really important for me to pass on to those listening.
Past that, be a sounding board for other creative people, whether it's for your child, your boss, or someone else you know. If someone has an idea, let them bounce that idea off of you, and let them get new ideas because of how your new perspective delivers ideas back to them. Brainstorm. It's an everyday affair for me. Passion, like inspiration, is super contagious.
How do you capture the complete portrait?
Organized session time evoking deep meaningful moments with people I've never really met, in a realistic way. I also shoot really quickly, when people don't really know that it's already happening. I shoot while I'm talking. It's important for the subject to get the sound of my voice, the camera, the rhythm, into their head so they can then get it out of their head. If you're a subject, you'll feel like you're not ready. In the beginning it's like a boxing match where the subject tries to pose and then begins to relax as I'm trying to take their picture. I try to create this disarming environment that makes it easy for people to be themselves and then I shoot through the whole process of that person working through the process. Once I see my first 10/10, that's the first photograph my subject sees. Then, there's a confidence shift. I'm very serious about the process.
What is it that separates portraiture from other areas of photography?
Fashion photography to me is disposable pictures, when you deal with portraits they last forever. You can look at a photograph of yourself wearing what you think is cool today, three years from now. You wont be able to look at it the same way. Fashion is of the minute, what's coming next. Because of that, yesterday is over already, whereas portrait photography is like a reflection of you right now. Even If I'm shooting fashion or street style, I really try to reflect the person back within the photo, becoming a time capsule, rather than what's happening at a given moment. It's more about them, than what they're wearing. It's the artfulness of the face itself.
How should artists go about continuing to create new work?
Self directed projects are how unknown photographers go from no one's-heard-your-name to a household-name. It's what you do on your own. Create a grand gesture, something big that you set ahead for yourself, like I have with Life Cycles. For me, in order to fulfill this grand gesture, I have to fulfill many small gestures. Anyone that knows me knows I love bicycles and I'm passionate about them. For example, I started snapping with my iPhone and putting it on Instagram, then picked up my professional camera and began taking portraits of people with their bicycles. That was a self-directed project that I did with people. Those portraits were noticed, and gave me probably 100 more followers on Instagram. Then it hit me that it's about a celebration of people and the people that ride bicycles, so lets celebrate the people that ride them, and paint them in a light that they've never been seen in. Life Cycles now is a solo show I'm putting on this year, and the goal is to really celebrate the bicycle and cities that are bicycle friendly, and encourage cities that aren't so bicycle friendly to become bicycle friendly. It kicks off in June, which is also bicycle month. Last year brought a whole new group of eyes to the work we're doing here at Hermann & Audrey and this year it'll be ten times as big with more events and associations. As you can see, personal work is actually generating commercial work, content for exhibits…eyes to me from that work, which then leads to other work.
Do you have any advice for emerging and ambitious artists?
They are our future. Those are the people who have their whole future ahead of them and really don't have any idea of what their future could be. It's hard, but what I've learned is not to rest, and to keep creating new work.
All portraits by Steve Carty.

Ainability - The root of sustainability. The seeds of enrichment.
Hawaii imports over 85% of our food. Producing only about 15% of the food we consume on the islands leaves us very vulnerable, so we're developing a platform called Ainability to enhance the viability of local agriculture by helping make healthy, tasty eating more affordable and convenient. (Aina means land in Hawaii.) The Ainability platform leverages web-based technologies to connect landholders with growers and growers with consumers. Those who know how to grow food can be linked to those who have land and are willing to allow farming/gardening to occur and vise-versa.
We're also looking at innovative delivery and pick-up systems to make the whole experience that much easier for everyone.
Our goal is to create a locally based agricultural system that supports farmers, improves the economy, reduces greenhouse gas emissions via lower "food miles", diminishes the amounts of chemicals entering our land, water and bodies and supports communities to enable healthy, self-sufficient lifestyles.
Landholders, growers/farmers, households, businesses - restaurants, visitor industry, policy-makers, educators, students, non-profits
From a design perspective Ainability looks at the whole system from land, water and energy to nutrients and calories to education, economics and policy. Perhaps simple, clean icons representing environment, community and economy, like a sun & sprouting seed (or taro plant), a family (man, woman, boy, girl), and fish (representing abundance or prosperity).
Please include the positioning line with the logo design.

And Todd Ranck's Babe of the Week is…Shyanne Queen!
This week's champion is a 20-year-old model of Native American descent who hails from Detroit, Michigan.
Shyanne made quick work of defeating her six babe competitors this week, and though the race was neck-and-neck with the blonde bombshell Claudia Fijal, Shyanne is our Babe of the Week! She now joins the ranks of those battling for the title of November's 'Babe of the Month.' The odds look pretty good:
Here's the deal: At the end of the week, each Babe of the Day will compete for your votes and the winner will become Babe of the Week. Each week's winner will then face off to become Babe of the Month, and those winners will then duke it out for – you guessed it – the Babe of the Year title. Only those lucky ladies will be inducted into GuySpeed's Hall of Fame, an honor reserved for the hottest of babes.

ST. PAUL, MINN. -- It was a lesson highlighted by the Flyers on Thursday. On Friday, it was the Sharks' turn.
"When you don't win," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said, "you make changes."
The Sharks' change came in the form of a major addition to their defense.
They acquired defensemen Brent Burns and a second-round pick in return for forward Devin Setoguchi, prospect Charlie Coyle and a first-round pick.
Burns scored 17 goals this year to go with 29 goals, finally healthy after battling through concussions earlier in his career. His upside is much higher than anything the Sharks could have found in free agency.
"There's such a shortage of defensemen in this league and guys at that level and that style of play and that size," Sharks GM Doug Wilson told Sporting News moments after speaking with Burns. "You have to give to get. Our coaches have both coached him and know him very well as a person and a player"
The Sharks had signed Setoguchi, 24, to a new three-year deal on Thursday worth $9 million over three years. A 6-0, 200-pound winger, Setoguchi has 84 points and 75 assists in 267 career NHL games.
"The Wild will be very happy with him," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "He has the speed element, a great shot."
And in McLellan's eyes, both players have room for growth.
"There's still untapped potential that may come out in the future."

According to the Wall Street Journal, Google is working on its own Android-powered gaming console and smartwatch — and a replacement for the Nexus Q is also on the way. The report states that Mountain View hopes to ship at least one of the products by this fall, and plans to both design and market them itself. In recent months, Android gaming consoles like Ouya and the GameStick have received a tremendous amount of attention — the Ouya went on sale at retailers just this week — but according to the Journal's sources Google's move to create a console is also based on expectations that Apple will add gaming to a future version of the Apple TV.
Google is currently working on the next iteration of the Android operating system, which will reportedly be better suited for the low-cost smartphones that are taking off in developing counties. Google is said to be developing its own low-cost smartphones — a one-two punch that could prove effective against efforts like Mozilla's Firefox OS. Through its Google X hardware facilities the company is also reportedly working on "next-generation" Android devices separate from the hardware its subsidiary Motorola is developing.
According to the Journal, expanding Android's reach across multiple product types is a big part of Google's plans. HP is named as one hardware partner that is working on a new laptop that will run the next version of Android, internally named "K release" (our own sources have indicated the shipping name will be Key Lime Pie). The Journal reports that the Android-powered laptop is intended to be a direct competitor to Windows computers.

Just in time for Folsom, Sears has stocked its digital shelves with a new product that has left many mouths of shoppers agape. The cheekily-named brand "Elegant Moments" now offers its four piece adjustable leather harness set for men for sale on Sears.com
If anything's going to make the heads of One Million Moms members assplode, it's this.
In other words, bravo, Sears!
Their new slogan/motto could be; "Sears, from the brink, thanks to mild KINK"! I may spin by the mall to check out this new version of Sears just for shits and giggles.
Bravo indeed and I can't wait to see the absurd, outrageous, over-reaction of One Million Morons, oops! I mean, Moms, to this pleasant slap upside their collective, ignorant heads! And we all know where their heads are shoved now don't we?

UVM president Tom Sullivan spent yesterday in the company of other presidents, including one rather famous one. Sullivan was a guest of the White House at an invitation-only summit on higher education access. The presidents of 80 colleges attended, all of whom made commitments to develop new programs or enhance existing ones that would expand access to lower-income students.
In between two working sessions on Jan. 16 – the conference opened Jan. 15 -- President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama addressed the presidents for about an hour.
The UVM program Sullivan highlighted was an existing one that will be enhanced, called the New Americans program. Its goal is to increase the enrollment, and eventual timely graduation, of students from families who have immigrated from abroad to Vermont, including many who are refugees.
The program will include outreach to families with a focus on early college awareness and on the extensive financial aid UVM provides to students with financial need.
The goal is to "identify students and families and then to give them a very high touch personal approach so that they fully grasp all the steps involved in applying to college and seeking financial aid," Sullivan said. "We want them to feel comfortable and confident that when they apply, they will be able to understand the pathway to a successful college experience, including a timely graduation."
Sullivan added that the White House was looking for program ideas that not only brought low-income students to college, but also promoted graduation in four years.
Sullivan said that UVM's record of recruiting lower-income students to the university, even before the expanded New Americans program, was a good one and impressed many of the other presidents. About one-third of resident Vermont students are both Pell eligible and first generation. About 45 percent of Vermonters attend the university tuition-free because UVM grants and scholarships.
Overall, it was an inspiring day-and-a-half, the president said, "particularly the fact that the president and the first lady spent over an hour with us talking very eloquently about the national need to open up the pipeline for students from lower incomes and to make sure that they're successful through college, because that translates to success later in life." They also spoke "about their own backgrounds and the difficulties of understanding all the nuances of applying to colleges."
Sullivan said he was sitting close to members of the press corps, and several told him the that the conference must be an important one.
"And I said, well, I believe it is, but why do you ask?" Sullivan said. "And they said, It's very rare in Washington for both the president and the first lady to be together on the same stage, to see them both speaking, and to spend this much time with the gathering. This signals to us that the president is very serious about this issue."
Sullivan added, "There is a clear anticipation that the president will share his views on this topic next week in his State of the Union address."

I happily (and fearfully) Twittered about my new blog.. and of course I wrote bolg instead of blog! I am embarrassed! What an introduction. May I present to you a new bolgger? Then I remembered what Penelope Trunk wrote about typos and now I feel better...
"There is a new economy for writing. The focus has shifted toward taking risks with conversation and ideas, and away from hierarchical input (the editorial process) and perfection.
As the world of content and writing shifts, the spelling tyrants will be left behind."
I'll confidently alert you to the big news that I am not perfect. However, I wonder if am I just making excuses for my incompetence as a keyboardist and proofreader? Or am I part of a new era where typos are OK? And in that case, are they OK for our students too?

2017 Nissan Rogue Sport: Nissan enters the compact SUV competition [First Look]
NASHVILLE, Tenn. —
Nissan has been having a bang-up year. In fact, in March it had a record 150,556 sales. The automaker attributes much of this to its growing truck and SUV sales.
According to Nathan Sneddon, senior planner of product planning at Nissan North America, Rogue alone is the No. 1 selling vehicle in the United States that's not a Big Three Truck.
With that nugget, it made sense when Nissan decided to launch another SUV in the States, the automaker decided to cash in on the Rogue nameplate.
Enter the 2017 Rogue Sport.
Known elsewhere as the Qashqai, this newest entry to the Nissan lineup is a foot shorter and weighs about 200 pounds less than its big brother. Rogue Sport also loses about 9 cubic feet of cargo volume.
In photos the two look very similarly sized, but once you see them side by side, the tiny Rogue actually looks quite large in comparison.
So, why would someone choose the Rogue Sport over the regular Rogue?
Sneddon said the elevator pitch is quite simple: Rogue Sport gives you all the benefits of an SUV without the bulk.
Nissan was also very clear during the press preview about who it is targeting with the 2017 Nissan Rogue Sport: Millennials. More specifically people in their 20s and 30s who are either single or married without kids.
While age is a factor, Rogue Sport is more of a lifestyle vehicle. Someone who would buy this vehicle is also likely to live in a city and have a somewhat active lifestyle. So, back to the elevator pitch: People who buy the Rogue Sport want something the size of a sedan with the functionality of an SUV.
Nissan thinks this new entry into the growing compact crossover segment will fit the bill. And it will go head to head with the likes of Honda HR-V, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage and Mazda CX-3.
While I think it will stack up pretty well against the HR-V, Tucson and Sportage, I still like the CX-3 better - but that's mostly because I hate the continuously variable transmission in the Rogue Sport. Plus, I think the CX-3 is more attractive and super fun to drive as well as completely functional as a compact crossover.
Rogue Sport is equipped with a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine that delivers 140 horsepower. Which is perfectly fine. But it's not peppy, and it's not well-suited to aggressive driving.
While the engine-transmission combination is not my cup of tea, I did find a lot that I loved about Rogue Sport. First and foremost, it gets all the high-end safety tech that you can get on the Rogue. Available features include the around-view monitor, lane departure warning, lane departure prevention, blind spot monitoring and autonomous emergency braking.
It should also be noted that the interior appointments are really nice on the Rogue Sport - it's not just a cheap version of the Rogue. You can get a lot of the luxury appointments, including leather seats, navigation and heated front seats.
Nissan also did an amazing job reducing road noise in the cabin. While there is some engine noise that creeps in during aggressive driving, for the most part, Rogue Sport has class-above quietness.
The one thing that surprised me, however, is there's just one USB port in the entire vehicle. One. When we asked Nissan about this, execs on hand said they thought that would be "sufficient" for this vehicle, stating that for this vehicle there would likely only be one person in the car the majority of the time. IMHO: As soon as you add a +1, you'll be fighting over that port to charge - just like my drive partner and I did during our day-long test.
Overall, I thought the Rogue Sport was comfortable to drive, and I had an excellent driving position. The seats were supportive, and the front heated seats worked really well.
Even though Rogue Sport is on the compact side of the spectrum, I didn't feel like I got pushed around on the highway, and it maintains its quietness even at highway speeds.
Rogue Sport will be built in Japan, and it is available as a 2017 model in the U.S. beginning this week.
Editor's Note: Driving impressions in this "First Look" review are from an invitation-only automaker launch event that allowed special access to the vehicle and executives. Nissan covered our accommodations, meals and transportation costs.

Vagal Nerve Stimulator (VNS)
Vagal Nerve Stimulator involves mild electrical stimulation of the left vagus nerve in the neck. The vagus nerve stimulator sends electrical signals to electrodes (wires) that are attached to the vagus nerve. From the vagus nerve the signals travel up into the areas of the brain thought to be involved in causing seizures. Sending regular electrical signals to these parts of the brain may reduce the number or length of seizures, for some people.
It is usually only considered if a number of antiepileptic drugs have failed to fully control seizures and for people who are not suitable for, or who do not want to have, brain surgery.
The stimulator is a bit like a heart pacemaker. It is implanted under the skin in the person's upper chest. This means there is a small scar and lump on the chest where it lies. Electrodes are connected to the stimulator at one end and are coiled around the vagus nerve (in the neck) at the other end. This means there is a scar in the fold of the neck where the electrodes are implanted.
The doctor uses a computer to program the stimulator. The level of stimulation is slowly increased to a suitable level for each individual. Usually the stimulator gives 30 seconds of stimulation every five minutes during the day and night.
The stimulator has a battery inside it, which may last up to ten years. When the battery is low the stimulator needs to be replaced. This means having an operation similar to when the stimulator was put in.
What to expect
- The morning of the procedure you will arrive from home.
- You will be taken to the operating room where you will have anesthesia, then the neurosurgeon will insert the VNS.
- After surgery you will be taken to the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit until stable.
- You will be transferred to the medical floor for an overnight stay.
- You will be discharged the following day.
- You will have to come back to clinic in 2-4 weeks to have the VNS activated.

The federal judge who will preside over Roger Clemens' perjury trial says he probably will not permit the pitcher's former teammates on the New York Yankees to give testimony aimed at bolstering the credibility of Clemens' former trainer, now a major prosecution witness.
U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton said at a hearing Tuesday that statements from former Yankees Andy Pettite, Chuck Knoblauch and Mike Stanton that they received injections of performance-enhancing drugs from the trainer, Brian McNamee, could unfairly influence jurors.
Walton said he also is inclined to prevent Clemens' defense team from telling jurors about rape allegations against McNamee that did not result in charges.
The judge also warned of a possible delay in the trial that is set to begin Wednesday, concerning the inability to obtain the audio of Clemens' deposition to House investigators in 2008.

The Tigers wasted no time getting on the board with a run in the first. The Bisons would tie the score in the top of the second on an RBI by Andrew Nickerson.
LSU would retake the lead with two more runs in the bottom of the inning.
However, for the second straight inning, the Bisons fought back, scoring two runs of their own. Allen Bolden led off with a walk, before advancing to second when Caleb Joseph was hit by a pitch. The runners would then move to second and third on a balk. One out later, Ryan Wilkins singled up the middle, bringing in both runs, and tying the game at three.
The Tigers gained another two run advantage with runs in both the third and fourth innings.
But the Bisons were not done. An RBI single by Donnie Amos, brought Lipscomb to within one. The Tigers would increase their lead to two again with a run in the sixth.
With time running out, Shane Simpkins got the Bisons rally started with a lead-off double in the seventh. Justin Sanders followed with a single, and Simpkins scored all the way from first on an error by the Tigers' second baseman on the play. After Sanders advanced to third on a balk, he would score on a wild pitch, knotting the game at six.
The game would not stay tied for long. Bolden led off the eighth with a double down the right field line, setting up Simpkins to drive in the eventual winning run on a sacrifice fly.
Several Bisons had a big night at the plate with Bolden, Simpkins, and Nickerson recording two hits each. Amos led the team in hits with three.
However, the story of the night was undoubtedly Bisons' right-hander Brandon McClurg who pitched 3.2 scoreless innings of relief, giving up just two hits while striking out six, and earning the win to bring his record to 2-0. In 21 innings this season, McClurg has given up just two earned runs while striking out 18. His ERA stands at an impressive .86 and opponents are batting just .189 against him.
The Bisons are back in action when they take on LSU in game two of the series on Saturday, March 3 at 2 p.m. Left-hander Rex Brothers is expected to take the mound for the Bisons. On the season, Brothers is 3-1 with a 4.85 ERA. In 13 innings, he has given up seven earned runs while striking out ten. Opponents are batting .222 against him.

Military's Mental Health Efforts Are Ineffective—Report: There is little evidence that the military's efforts to prevent mental illness among troops during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are effective, a panel of scientists said last week. The study, by a committee of 13 experts appointed by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, follows an earlier Institute of Medicine review released last year concluding that the Pentagon and Department of Veterans Affairs are struggling to keep pace with a growing number of mental health problems generated by the wars. "There's no substantive indication of effectiveness (in the military prevention programs) and most importantly, there's no evidence of an enduring impact," said panelist David Rudd, provost at the University of Memphis and an authority on suicide in the military. The Pentagon, which requested the study, said it is reviewing the study's findings. The scientists in the study released Thursday singled out for prominent criticism the largest and costliest program, the Army's Comprehensive Soldier Fitness effort — since expanded and renamed Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness. The Army began the program in 2009 amid increasing cases of suicide and mental illness. It has cost $125 million to teach the coping skills to a million soldiers. The scientific panel said there is little or no evidence the program prevents mental illness. (The Wall Street Journal,
Bullying Impacts Mental Health for Years—Study: Victims of bullying may suffer mental and general health consequences even after bullying occurs, a new study finds. Published in the journal Pediatrics, the study found that bullying is associated with poor general and mental health among children, particularly among those who were bullied in the past and are being currently bullied. The effects were strongest among children who were bullied continuously, in more than one grade. Researchers used a large sample of students at public schools in three metropolitan areas: Los Angeles, Houston and Birmingham, Alabama. A total of 4,297 students and their parents participated in all three phases of the study. The children and their parents responded to computer-assisted personal interviews in English or Spanish. Researchers found particularly striking differences in mental health when comparing children who had been bullied with those who had not. Among fifth-graders, about 4 percent of kids who had not been bullied showed low psychological health, far less than the 31 percent of kids who had been bullied. In later years, researchers found a strong relationship between low mental health and bullying, especially among children who said they were being bullied at that time, or both at that time and in the past. The study found that about 45 percent of children in 10th grade who were bullied both in the past and the present had low psychological health, compared with 31 percent of those currently bullied, 12 percent of kids bullied only in the past and about 7 percent who had not been bullied.

HIV More Prevalent among People with Mental Health Conditions: People who are diagnosed with mental health conditions may be more likely to contract HIV, according to a new study. Researchers collected data while providing HIV screening to 1000 people between 2009 and 2011. They found that 4.8 percent of those patients with depression, psychosis and substance use problems were diagnosed with HIV, making them 16 times more likely to acquire the condition than those without mental health diagnoses. The findings emphasize the need to provide testing for HIV in mental health care facilities, the researchers said. Thirteen of the 51 individuals found to have HIV did not know they were infected, according to the study published in the American Journal of Public Health. The findings showed that HIV infection was more common among people with more severe symptoms of mental illness and among groups of people most likely to be infected in the general population, including blacks, gay or bisexual men, and those with hepatitis C, which often indicates past injection drug use.

Study—Health Reform Doesn't Increase Admissions for Young People with Mental Health Conditions: Health reforms that increased access to coverage in Massachusetts and served as the model for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) did not increase hospital utilization among young people diagnosed with behavioral health disorders, according to a new study. Published in JAMA Psychiatry, the study looked at inpatient admissions before and after the state's implementation of comprehensive health reform in 2006. Critics of the ACA have argued an expansion of health coverage would result in higher health care costs as more newly insured individuals sought care. The study's findings showed hospital admission rates after 2006 for adults between ages 19 and 25 declined by an absolute of 2 per 1,000 patients where any behavioral health disorder was the primary diagnosis, .38 per 1,000 for depression and 1.3 per 1,000 for substance use. The number of uninsured among this age group also fell after 2006 from 26 percent to 10 percent. Emergency department visits for behavioral health diagnoses increased after 2006 but at a slower rate compared with Maryland, the study found, while hospital discharges for uninsured young people with behavioral disorders decreased by 5 percentage points for both inpatients and visitors of the emergency department relative to other states. Maryland was chosen for comparison purposes because it has a similar number of mental health patients, a similar number of mental health providers and similar rates of utilization to Massachusetts prior to the adoption of the health reform law.

Switching Schools Linked with Mental Health Problems in Kids: Preteens who changed schools frequently when they were children are at increased risk of developing mental health problems, according to a new study. Researchers analyzed data on nearly 6,500 families from a long-term study of children in southwest England. At age 12, the participants were asked if they had experienced psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions in the past six months. Those who had changed schools three times or more when they were younger had a 60 percent increased risk of having at least one psychotic symptom, according to the study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The researchers noted that being involved in bullying is sometimes a consequence of repeated school moves. Changing schools often may cause youngsters to develop low self-esteem and a "sense of social defeat," the researchers noted. They also said that feelings of isolation can lead to brain changes that increase the risk of psychotic symptoms in vulnerable youngsters. (HealthDay News, 2/23/14)

Pecha Kucha – Japanese for the sound of conversation – is fast establishing itself as London's place to catch-up on whats going on in the design world. It's a grown-up version of show-and-tell that includes architects, designers, branding experts, and DJs.
The method, developed by Klein Dytham Architects in Tokyo puts twelve speakers in a bear-pit theatre with only 20 slides for 20 seconds each for a six minute and 20 second total. There is no stopping or retreating from a ruthlessly advancing PowerPoint show. The stereotypical, rambling designer who says a lot without saying anything has no place here.
Predictably, it was a bit hit-and-miss. One architect simply talked about his social network instead his catalogue of design. Two students spent their time simply giggling at their furniture design arranged as modesty boxes on top of pictures from top-shelf magazines (one of the organisers, Marcus Fairs, claimed meekly that he did not intentionally place them after a DJ's serious conversation about the dangers of hip-hop and the objectification of women). The tone of the night is irreverent, fun, hilarious. Educational for the punter who paid their £12 ($20)?
For Inhabitat readers with eyes out for sustainable design:
Asif Khan, architect and lecturer at the Architectural Association, presented a new way of getting more people to walk instead of drive in Recife, Brazil: build a massive lycra cover. In between one of the favellas and the jobs in the city centre, the yellow cover was attaches to the sides of the buildings with simple ropes and wires and built by the local community. If this inexpensive idea gets traction in tropical climes, the shading could make walking and cycling as attractive as cities in more temperate zones.
Also, Youmeheshe architects presented their small but vertical 'organic house' first developed for a UK £60,000 pre-fab house competition. More on that one to come…
