Outpatient Electroencephalogram (EEG)
Dana Clinical Building,
789 Howard Avenue,
New Haven, CT
Enter the Dana Building and take elevator to the 2nd floor. Once you come off the elevator, follow around to the main corridor and take a right. You will see a sign for Neurophysiology Department.
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a safe and painless test that measures and records the electrical activity of your brain by using sensors (electrodes) attached to your head and connected by wires to a computer. The computer records your brain's electrical activity on the screen or on paper as wavy lines. Certain conditions, such as seizures, can be detected by observing changes in the normal pattern of the brain's electrical activity.
Patient Instructions
- Tell your doctor if you are taking any medications. Certain medications (such as sedatives and tranquilizers, muscle relaxants, sleeping medications, or medications used to treat seizures) can affect your brain's usual electrical activity.
- Avoid foods that contain caffeine (such as coffee, tea, cola, and chocolate) for at least 8 hours before the test.
- Your hair should be clean and free of sprays, oils, creams, lotions, and other hair preparations. Shampoo your hair and rinse with clear water the evening before or the morning of the test. Do not apply any hair conditioners or oils after shampooing. Do not braid or tease the hair.
- Many small metal discs will be attached to the scalp with special paste.
- After the EEG the paste and electrodes will be removed by the technician. Small reddened areas may be noted on the scalp which will disappear in a short period of time.
- Allow an hour and a half for this procedure.
- Sometimes you will be asked to stay awake the night before, since it can enhance abnormalities.

That Chill in the Air Isn't From an Open Window
WILL bad karma hurt the value of one of the world's most famous properties? Agents for Fred Sands Estates, the broker for the bank that foreclosed on O. J. Simpson's Brentwood mansion, downplay the idea of any stigma on the property.

Of course, they have 3.95 million reasons to stress that no crime occurred at 360 North Rockingham.

Julia Stiles Gossip
Julia Stiles gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
You know who Jason Bourne is
The first full trailer for the fourth Bourne movie—fifth if you count Jeremy Renner's Bourne Legacy, which no one does—was just released and it's got lots and lots of sweaty, glowering Matt Damon Full Story
Emmy ex-off: Jennifer Carpenter vs Julia Stiles
Did Michael C Hall actually go the Emmys? I've seen photos of him at an after-party but haven't been able to find pictures of him at the show. Or perhaps I was preoccupied with shots of his ex-wife and his ex-lover dressed in similarly toned gowns. Grey-nude silhouette, hair down and wavy, one more tricked out than the other but overall it's the same play, giving them even more in common than former lover and co-star. Full Story
She has a thing for co-stars
Well, at least this one isn't married. In that respect, it's almost exactly what Claire Danes went through, only without the pregnancy. Mary Louise Parker was expecting with Billy Crudup when he left her for Claire. That was a tumultuous, tortured relationship which almost killed Angela Chase for us forever. Full Story
Globes Dexter: Michael C Hall & Julia Stiles
And no Jennifer Carpenter. Well, that would have been awkward, non? Hall and Carpenter are done. Hall was nominated for Dexter, as was the show. Julia Stiles was nominated too. She was hilariously missing when they called her name. With so many eyes watching at the afterparties, they better be careful with the affection. Full Story

Civil Protection throughout history
The history of Civil Protection in Italy is closely connected to the calamities that have struck the country. Earthquakes and floods have marked the history and the evolution of Italy, contributing to creating that conscience for civil protection, for protecting lives and the environment that has led to the creation of a civil protection system capable of reacting and acting in the event of an emergency and of providing actions of forecasting and preventing them. In the phase immediately after a great catastrophe, innovations, decisions and choices are favoured by the climate of strong emotions which involves public opinion and the institutions after each disaster.
The concept of civil protection – as an expression of solidarity, spirit of collaboration and civic sense – has distant roots. History tells of organisations of solidarity and volunteers involved in providing help for disaster management as far back as the religious orders of the Middle Ages and with the first lay structures, like "le Misericordie" established in Florence between 1200 and 1300 or the fire brigade which has been present in the Alpine Valleys for centuries.

Candidate for governor Tim Donnelly raised eyebrows last week with a new campaign video alongside actress and singer Maria Conchita Alonso.
In his three-minute "The People United" video, the Hesperia Republican and Alonso discuss his desire to cut regulation, reinvigorate the state's film industry and his opposition to the state's ban on lead ammunition, with Alonso sometimes translating, and at other times just paraphrasing, his views into Spanish.
The ad is tongue-in-cheek, with Donnelly proclaiming his wife is the sexiest woman in California and Alonso assuming that he means her.
"I've been endorsed by (actor) Rob Schneider and had him at one of my campaign events, and I've made a lot of in-roads into Hollywood," Donnelly said Tuesday. "I became aware of Maria and we were looking to do an ad that would be different, something that would have some humor, maybe even start some healing. … But most of all, we wanted something that would cut through the noise."
Donnelly, who's represented the High Desert in the Assembly since 2010, is also the founder of a chapter of the Minuteman Project and a vocal opponent of illegal immigration.
Alonso, who was born in Cuba and raised in Venezuela, has long been an outspoken conservative as well, engaging in a public feud with actor Sean Penn over his support for Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez.
"She's fiercely anti-Communist," Donnelly said. "We've all seen what the Communists have done to Cuba, we've all seen what they've done in Venezuela. And now she says, they're here in America."
But her appearance in a campaign video for Donnelly has already cost her a job: Last Friday, she bowed out of her starring role in a Spanish-language version of the Vagina Monologues next month, after the play was threatened with threats of boycotts and protests.
"So, basically, she's going to be blacklisted, just because she supports someone whose political viewpoint is different than some of the people she works with," Donnelly said.
The pair don't actually see eye-to-eye on illegal immigration, he said. They also initially disagreed about hunting and animal cruelty, although he said, they've both worked to educate the other on those issues.
"When people get together, and have differing viewpoints, they can also inform each other," Donnelly said. "And you can come out a better person for it."
The video wasn't Alonso's first co-starring role with a would-be future governor of California: She may be best known to English-speaking audiences for co-starring with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1987 film "The Running Man." (Think "The Hunger Games" with Spandex and big hair.)
Although the video has succeeded in the campaign's goal of getting attention, with coverage from the national media, including Fox News and Salon, Donnelly has no illusions that his campaign against probable incumbent candidate Gov. Jerry Brown is going to be any easier as a result.
"I'm in an uphill battle, I know what race I'm in, I'm not naive," he said. But "in San Francisco, and all over the state, you have liberals standing up and saying 'she has the right to say what she believes' and I think that's a good thing. … We're going to unite them on the basis of American principles and American values."

It's not unusual -- according to the president of a Vancouver Island furniture company -- for West Coast people to regard their trees "as one of the family."
"Many people are attached to the trees on their property," says John Lore, of Live Edge Design, "so if they lose one that's been part of the family for a long time we can build something out of it for them. It's a way of keeping it in their lives."
Typically the Duncan-based company salvages wood, with many people calling them in after a wind-or snowstorm. (It takes at least a year to air-and then kiln-dry the pieces: "You have to do it very slowly or else you get warping and cracking," he says.)
"There are not too many people looking for the big gnarly old maple trees; we have the market to ourselves," says Lore, who also doubles as the firm's artistic director with jurisdiction over picking the wood and having the last say on design.
He likes to take the less premeditated approach to furniture making: "Ideally, we find the piece of wood and then decide what to make out of it," he says.
The company's name is its signature: "Mostly we like to do things that have a natural aspect to them -- we like to leave on the live edge, which is the growing part of the tree under the bark otherwise known as the cambium layer," he says, adding that the interior of a tree, of course, is stagnant.
It is up to the customer to choose the table's base ( "a trestle is great for getting your legs underneath without bashing them ...," Lore says) and its general character.
The top of the native bigleaf maple on the Long Beach dining table, for example, can be "fairly rectangular with smooth edges or they can have it as wild as they want," he explains. "You can mix it with a fairly contemporary base and still get away with these crazy shapes, colours and knots in the top. Then every time you look at it you see something different and it keeps it fresh and interesting over a long time. It's down to individual preference."
The Long Beach table starts at $5,000.

About People Under the Stairs
The underground hip-hop outfit People Under the Stairs was formed by Mike Turner (Double K) and Chris Portugal (Thes One), who met on the fringe of L.A.'s late-'90s hip-hop underground. The duo, devoted to jazzy samples, danceable beats, intricate rhyming skills, and laid-back humor, debuted in 1998 with the acclaimed The Next Step and followed it up in 2000 with Question in the Form of an Answer. Gathering heavy praise and touring with De La Soul, the group took their road experiences and brought it to the studio to record their next album. The final results appeared in the summer of 2002 under the name O.S.T. Busy with individual side projects, the next People Under the Stairs album, Stepfather, didn't come out for another four years. ~ Steve Huey

Consumer spending in the U.S. rose more than projected in March, reflecting a jump in outlays for services that is unlikely to be repeated as the biggest part of the economy softens this quarter.
Household purchases, which account for about 70% of the economy, climbed 0.2% after a 0.7% gain the prior month, a Commerce Department report showed today in Washington. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of 74 economists called for spending to be little changed. Incomes increased less than forecast and inflation cooled to the lowest level in more than three years.
Cooler-than-normal temperatures last month may have temporarily boosted spending on utilities, just as the increase in the payroll tax that took effect in January is starting to inflict more damage. A slower pace of growth and less inflation means Federal Reserve policy makers will probably confirm they'll keep pumping money into financial markets after they meet this week.
"It's a relatively decent showing for spending, but consumers won't be able to sustain the current pace if income growth continues to disappoint," said Millan Mulraine, an economist for TD Securities USA LLC in New York, who accurately projected the gain in spending. "The weak inflation backdrop is likely to cause the Fed to at least keep purchasing" securities.
Home Sales
More Americans than forecast signed contracts to buy previously owned homes in March, another indication of progress in the housing market, other data today showed.
The index of pending home sales increased 1.5% after a revised 1% decline the prior month that was larger than initially reported, according to figures from the National Association of Realtors. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey projected a 1% increase
Stocks climbed, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index heading for its sixth straight month of gains, as pending sales of homes climbed and amid optimism central banks will maintain stimulus plans. The S&P 500 rose 0.6% to 1,591.03 at 10:44 a.m. in New York.
Projections for spending in the Bloomberg survey ranged from a 0.2% drop to gains of 0.4%.
Incomes increased 0.2% in March after climbing 1.1% the prior month. The Bloomberg survey median called for incomes to rise 0.4%.

E-DRUG: DNDi and Cipla to Develop 4-in-1 Paediatric Antiretroviral Combination ------------------------------------------------------------------- [Washington, DC; Geneva; Mumbai ? 20 July 2012] On the eve of the XIX International AIDS Conference in Washington, DC, the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi), a not-for-profit research and development (R&D) organization, announced a new collaboration with Indian drug manufacturer Cipla to develop and produce an improved first-line antiretroviral (ARV) combination therapy specifically adapted to meet the treatment needs of infants and toddlers living with HIV/AIDS. Once delivered, this new paediatric ARV combination could help to accelerate the provision of care to the world?s youngest children living with HIV/AIDS, who are at very high risk of dying without treatment. An estimated 3.4 million children have HIV/AIDS, but less than a quarter currently have access to antiretroviral therapy (ART), compared with 54% for adults. Without treatment, more than half of children with HIV/AIDS will die before their second birthday, and 80% will die before they turn five. Current therapeutic options for HIV-positive infants and young children are insufficient in certain key circumstances: although fixed-dose combination dissolvable ?baby pills? (for example Triomune Baby and Junior produced by Cipla in 2007) are used throughout most of Africa, they are not optimal for the youngest children who have very high levels of virus in their blood and have already been exposed to some of these drugs from their mother. An important alternative drug (lopinavir-ritonavir protease inhibitor) has been used mainly in South Africa, but has problems, including poor taste, impractical multiple liquid preparations that are cumbersome to transport, requirements for refrigeration, high cost, difficulties for caregivers to administer, and negative interactions with tuberculosis (TB) drugs. The goal of the collaboration between DNDi and Cipla is to develop a 4-in-1 ARV combination product for HIV-infected children under the age of three years, including those who have been exposed to drugs while in the womb, and also those who are co-infected with TB. Historically, major pharmaceutical companies have invested little in R&D specifically aimed at addressing the needs of young children with HIV/AIDS largely because of the absence of a viable market: the virtual elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in high-income countries means that nearly all HIV-positive children live in low- and middle-income countries, with over 90% in sub-Saharan Africa. The global strategy to eliminate new infant infections through prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) by 2015 will be confronted with the reality that some children continue to be infected and urgently need access to early diagnosis and immediate ART with safe, potent, child-friendly treatment combinations. ?Cipla is fully committed to take its ARV work for children with HIV/AIDS a step further?, said Dr Yusuf K. Hamied, Chairman and Managing Director of Cipla, Ltd. ?We have already been working with the Medical Research Council Clinical Trials Unit (MRC CTU) in the UK and their paediatric colleagues in Zambia and Uganda for several years, first producing several appropriate baby pill formulations for infants and children, and more recently we have produced a new sprinkle of lopinavir-ritonavir. Cipla and DNDi are now joining forces to produce further drug formulations for HIV-infected children in poor countries.? Within the new collaboration, Cipla will provide its lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) 40-/10-mg sprinkle formulation (?Lopimune Sprinkles?) and work with DNDi and other partners to test new combinations of HIV treatment for infants and young children. The initial data on the lopinavir-ritonavir sprinkle ? being generated by Ugandan paediatricians and MRC CTU in partnership with Cipla (CHAPAS 2 trial) ? will be essential for DNDi and its partners to develop an optimized first-line therapy in a fixed-dose combination of Lopimune Sprinkles, combined with one of two other powerful ARV drug combinations, abacavir/lamivudine (ABC/3TC) or zidovudine/lamivudine (AZT/3TC). Cipla will work to produce an appropriate 4-in-1 combination sachet product, in which the four ARV drugs will be in taste-masked, granular form, for easy mixing into food or liquids such as water, juice, or breast milk, with the aim of registering the drug by 2015. ?The lack of appropriate treatments for young children with HIV/AIDS has been devastating?, noted Dr Unni Karunakara, President of MSF International. ?This initiative responds to our call for attention and resources to be directed towards giving these kids the medicines, life, and dignity they deserve.? As the industrial partner, Cipla will take responsibility for production, registration, and distribution of the product and will thus retain all intellectual property (IP) related to the new formulations. Should Cipla opt out as industrial partner, DNDi will be granted non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licences to the IP. In addition, the collaboration aims to bring the cost of the final ARV product in the public sector substantially lower than the cost of the products used separately. Cipla and DNDi will establish a detailed drug access and implementation plan to ensure delivery of the new product to patients. ?This partnership with Cipla and other collaborators provides us a critical path to developing better paediatric antiretroviral formulations for the youngest, most vulnerable patients living with HIV/AIDS?, said Dr Bernard Pécoul, Executive Director of DNDi. ?Young children living with ? and dying from ? HIV/AIDS deserve the best that science has to offer. We will concentrate our every effort to ensure that we get to the right treatment as soon as possible to save the lives of the over 600 HIV-positive children who die silently every day.?

Tech Grad Wolters Leads South Dakota State To NCAA Tourney Bid
Tech graduate Nate Wolters was named Summit League Tournament MVP after leading SDSU over North Dakota State Tuesday night.
Nate Wolters scored 27 points with six rebounds and six assists to lead South Dakota State to a 73-67 win over North Dakota State. The Jackrabbits earned an NCAA Tournament bid with the win.
Wolters struggled a bit in the first half, scoring just nine points with the Bison defense clearly focusing on stopping the SDSU star guard. The Tech graduate shot 8-15 from the floor and 9-10 from the free throw line.
For the season, Wolters averaged 22.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game.

April 9, 2006
In a game originally scheduled for Friday April 7, but postponed due to bad weather, the Bisons could not hold on to an early 4-3 lead on their way to an 11-7 loss to Mercer on Sunday, April 9.
"We did not play bad at all," Lipscomb catcher Caleb Joseph said. "We played pretty much error free, we made all the plays, and we had timely hits. We played a pretty good baseball game. We will play well some days and the scoreboard is just not going to go our way. That will happen during the course of a 50 game schedule."
Right-hander Josh Smith received the start for the Bisons. In 4.1 innings he gave up five runs, four earned, on six hits and three walks. He struck out three.
The Bears got on the board early with three runs in the first. However, the Bisons battled back in the bottom of the second. Zac Miller led off with a double to right center. With one out, Jeff Baumgartner was hit by a pitch. David Becker followed with a walk to load the bases. The next batter, freshman second basemen Branden Cadavid, drilled a grand slam to left center to give the Bisons a 4-3 lead.
The lead was short-lived, however. Smith gave up the game-tying run on a sacrifice fly by Eric Renfroe in the top of the third.
Right-hander Brandon McClurg relieved Smith with one out in the fifth and runners on first and second. Following the pitching change Renfroe walked to load the bases. After striking out the next batter, McClurg issued a bases loaded walk to Billy Shaugnessy to give the Bears a 5-4 lead.
Mercer added five more runs in the sixth inning to increase their lead to ten. The Bisons added a run of their own in the bottom of the sixth on an RBI fielder's choice by Tadd Brewer. Two more Lipscomb runs would cross the plated in the bottom of the seventh to bring the Bisons to within three. However, Mercer added another run in the top of the eighth and Bears' pitcher Andrew Urena held the Bisons scoreless throughout the final two innings.
Smith received the loss for the Bisons to lower his record to 3-3. His ERA now stands at 5.40 and opponents are batting .253 against him.
The Bisons are now 7-8 in conference play, while the Bears improved to 9-6.
"We still feel good about where we are in the standings," Joseph. "We are just one really good series away from first place and that is the encouraging thing. We just have to get back to work this week, go out next weekend, and try to play some good baseball."

Vampire Most Wanted: An Argeneau Novel (Argeneau Vampire)
Vampire Most Wanted: An Argeneau Novel (Argeneau Vampire)
Take a road trip with the undead . . . in this latest in the Argeneau series by New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands
For Basha Argeneau, anything is better than facing her estranged family. Even hiding out in sweltering southern California. But when a sexy immortal in black shows up determined to bring her back to the clan, she'll do anything to keep far, far away from the past she can't outrun.
Marcus Notte isn't here to play games—especially not with someone as crazy as the infamous blonde. Asked by Lucian Argeneau to bring her back for questioning, Marcus is determined to carry out Lucian's request—no matter how the seductive little mind-reading vamp feels about it.
Basha doesn't mind fighting fire with fire, especially with a hot immortal involved. But if he wants to take her away, he'll have to catch her first . . .
"Sands easily holds the reader's attention with the right mix of sexual tension and romantic misunderstanding plus a clever, engaging overarching history that offers an intriguing backbone to the series. Sexy and captivating, mingling darkness and humor." (Kirkus Reviews)

Candied Bacon: Place a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bacon pieces.
Once the fat has started to render, stir in the brown sugar to evenly coat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally.
Once the bacon is about 3/4 crisped, strain off the bacon fat and reserve.
Continue cooking until golden and crispy. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Brown Butter: Over low heat, in a heavy bottom sauce pot, melt the butter down, and slowly allow it to brown, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat.
Ice Cream Base: Combine the cream and milk in a large sauce pot over medium heat.
Bring the liquid to an almost boil.
Whisk together the yolks, salt, sugar and brown sugar in a separate bowl.
Gently add about 2 cups of the hot liquid, whisking until smooth.
Add the egg mixture to the remaining cream/milk mixture, whisking until smooth.
Whisk in the remaining ingredients: maple syrup, bacon fat, brown butter and vanilla.
Strain through a fine mesh strainer.
Cool slightly over an ice bath, stirring constantly. You want it to be about room temperature.
Add the mixture to the ice cream machine, and make according to the machine's instructions.
Once the ice cream is complete, stir in the cooled candied bacon pieces, and freeze to set.
Chocolate Chip Cookies: Heat oven to 375 degrees Farenheit.
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottom medium saucepan over low heat. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda and put aside.
Pour the melted butter in a mixer's work bowl. Add the sugar and brown sugar.
Cream the butter and sugars on medium speed. Add the egg, yolk, 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture
until it is thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Chill the dough. Scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 1 inch balls. Bake for about 13 minutes, checking the cookies after 5 minutes. Cookies for ice cream
sandwiches should be slightly underbaked so that they remain chewy when confronted with the coldness of the ice cream. The chewiness will also make them hold the weight of the ice cream without breaking. The 1 inch ball of dough should also produce a thick enough cookie so that the cookie is sturdy.
Rotate the baking sheet for even browning. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
Ice Cream Sandwiches: After cookies are cooled to room temperature, bring ice cream out of the freezer for scooping (ice cream should be at about -5 degrees F, or as frozen as possible). Scoop 3.5 oz of ice cream onto a cookie on a half tray, face down.
Place second cookie on top. Push down slightly, but not too hard, as to not push the ice cream out of the sides or break either of the cookies.
Recipe yields about 7/8 scoops of ice cream, but about 30 cookies. So 2 rounds of ice cream making can produce about 15 sandwiches.

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — The St. Louis Blues have trade David Perron to the Edmonton Oilers for Magnus Paajarvi and a 2014 second-round draft pick.
Perron, a 25-year old left-wing, had 10 goals and 15 assists in 48 games for St. Louis last season. In his career, Perron has 84 goals and 114 assists in 340 games.
Perron has three more years left on his contract at a cap hit of just over $3.8 million. Paajarvi has 26 goals and 32 assists in 163 games with the Oilers. He was drafted 10th overall by Edmonton in 2009.
In Edmonton, Perron will be part of a young core of skilled players along with Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Sam Gagner, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Nail Yakupov.
Perron is expected to play left wing with the Oilers and will be counted on to kill penalties and help out on the offensive end, as well. In 340 games with the Blues, he had 84 goals and 114 assists.
"I think that David, he's a dynamic player, and he has an unbelievable skill-set that sometimes takes a little bit of time to get used to playing with ... for his teammates to get to understand his nuances," Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said on a conference call.
Paajarvi had nine goals and seven assists in 42 games for the Oilers last season. He's a restricted free agent, but Armstrong said he liked that the Blues had the young winger's rights for the next four years.
"We view him coming in and competing in our group of nine," Armstrong said. " Our team is built on balance and we think he has an opportunity to come in here and provide an element that we don't have right now."
In Perron, the Oilers get a more polished NHL player than they have in Hall, Eberle, Nugent-Hopkins and Yakupov. MacTavish singled out Perron's willingness to go to the dirty areas to score goals, but acquiring a six-foot playmaker doesn't do anything to add physicality to the mix of skill already in Edmonton.
. The Oilers got more experienced, while the Blues got a player with more potential.
"It's a good deal for both teams, at least that's what (Oilers GM) Craig (MacTavish) and I both hope," Armstrong said. "David's a dynamic offensive player and has had success in the past. We think Magnus is just entering the guts of his career now, and we're looking forward to him being a Blue."

Dogs are a mixed bag with me. I inherently trust all dogs unless they prove that I should not trust them, however, I've been wronged by enough of them that I've learned a thing or two. I was once pulled off my old 10-speed and my right thigh turned into a chew toy by a Doberman, for example. That won't ever happen again.
This particular dog was clearly one of those "I AM MEAN!!!!!1!!! Ohh wanna race?!" dogs. All sorts of bark, gnashing of teeth. The whole nine yards. But, he wouldn't actually come near me. That right there means he's just a big teddy bear. As soon as I'd mount up, though, he'd bark at me and act like he was going to chase me. So I stopped, and hunched over my handlebars like a sprinter ready to launch. Ears went up, he got in a similar stance, ready to launch. Then I knew, this little pup just wanted something to chase. He ran alongside me for about a quarter mile at about 12 MPH. A nice leisurely pace for me. Wringing out the stubby legs of my new friend, though. He eventually gave up.
Let's see... Lunch today? I went to Taqueria Mexico down at Rainbow and SW Boulevard and had lunch with Eric while talking about mostly bikes and computer nerd stuff. It was a nice ride for lunch, not quite 8 and a half miles round trip.
It was in the low-50s all day, including lunch and the ride home. T-shirt and shorts were working fine, but this is pretty much the absolute low end of the temperature spectrum where I can get away with this kind of clothing. 30 Degrees tomorrow morning. No more mister tough guy. I'll wear cargo pants and a windbreaker.
Did the full ride home with a killer crosswind, gusting up to 25 MPH and the bright sun shining right in my eyes as usual. Of course, I also saw the Dog shown above. Nothing else about my ride really stands out. While my body was pedaling away and a very small corner of my mind was actively keeping tabs on my surroundings, the rest of my mind was occupied working through some points I must make for an article I'm in the middle of writing, so bike hypnosis was pretty much a way of life today.

Yeah, that reminds me of the dog I ran into several months ago who thought he was Rin-Tin-Tin and started running smack-dab down the middle of the road with me on his right hand side! I wasn't so much worried that he might suddenly take a nip out of my foot (I didn't think he was THAT kind) but that some farm truck coming from the opposite direction was going to splatter him from there to kingdom come.

What's worse are the doggie tag teams. One time back in college I went out on a training ride. While I was coming around a turn on a peaceful country road I spotted a medium sized mogrel who was starting to bark and come in my direction.
What I didn't realize was he had a lil' buddy who was coming from the other side of the road who announced his presence by diving under my front wheel causing me to cartwheel over bike's center of gravity. When I came to rest the puppy yelped, nipped my right ankle and then ran to the other side of the road leaving me road rashed and woozy.

Dogs like broken collar bones are some of the inescapable inconveniences hard core cyclists often have to endure to pursue their two wheeled fun.
Seems we all have more than a few good dog stories. Some funny, and some not even funny. More proof that is is indeed a jungle out there.

Being a volunteer in the local animal shelter I can say that dogs are not always what they seem. For instance, we just took in a pit bull who we renamed "spanky". His whole body is nothing more than the mechanism to wiggle his bottom.

A father and daughter from Bedford got quite a surprise while out and about in the town on Thursday morning.
Ben Glotzer said he and his daughter crossed paths with a bobcat on Millers Mill Road just after they drove over the bridge.
"It was about 3 feet in length approximately 60 pounds," Glotzer said, saying the bobcat had a grayish fawn color.
The Millers Mill Road Bridge crosses Mianus River Gorge.
Bobcat sightings in the Northern Westchester area, and much of the Hudson Valley, are no longer rare occurrences.
"We just never expected this in our backyard," said Glotzer.

Located on the great Columbia River, Hayden Island is the only populated island within the Portland city limits. Historically, this community was serviced by ferries, transporting tourists from the mainland to the island's beaches and magnificent amusement parks. Today, residents take advantage of the I-5 bridge and the outstanding transit system for an easy commute to downtown Portland and Vancouver, Washington.
A water lover's paradise, people are discovering the convenient and peaceful lifestyle that can be found in this tight-knit community. Neighbors are often seen sharing a glass of wine as the sun sets or gathering for barbeques on their riverfront decks. With stunning river and mountain views and riverfront access, residents respect their environment and are heavily involved in sustaining their surroundings.
Hayden Island features pristine floating home communities and contemporary riverfront estates, in addition to manufactured homes in quiet parks and a wealth of upscale condos and executive housing options. A superb infrastructure fully supports the island's well-planned growth.
Hayden Island is within walking distance to shopping, dining and recreation. The Jantzen Beach Shopping Center combines top national retailers with local and one-of-a-kind merchants. The island is just minutes from downtown Portland, close to the airport and the Max Light Rail runs nearby, making it a very convenient location.
Boating, kayaking, canoeing and fishing are activities residents are able to enjoy right in their own backyards. There are numerous trails in the area for hiking, biking and walking along with several golf courses and Hayden and Tomahawk Island yacht clubs. Outdoor enthusiasts love the island for its wilderness areas and parks. Lotus Isle Park provides visitors a place to enjoy the scenery from the comfort of paved walking paths with picnic tables and a children's playground.
Private mortgage insurance is an insurance policy that a residential mortgage lender requires of the borrower if the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of the home is greater than 80%. Mortgage insurance protects the lender from the risk that the borrower may default on the loan. Federal law requires lenders to notify borrowers when the loan-to-value ratio drops below 80%. Mortgage insurance premiums vary, but generally range from $1,000 to $5,000 a year for an average priced home.

(CNN) -- The same problems that brought the global banking system to its knees are shackling Africa to a future of corruption and hunger, Nobel Peace Laureate Wangari Maathai told CNN.
Nobel Peace Laureate Wangari Maathai is urging Africans to rise up and to demand responsible leadership.
"In any society, if there is no regulation, if there is no control, you will always get greedy and selfish people who are prepared to take the economy very far for their own selfish ends," she said.
The 69-year-old Kenyan was speaking on the phone ahead of the launch of her book, "The Challenge for Africa," in the U.S. this week.
"To me the whole continent, especially south of the Sahara, is facing the same challenges and the main challenge there, as I have said many times, is governance."
"People get leaders they deserve," she continued. "So if they are getting leaders in Africa that are not caring about us, it's because they let them."
"If we want a responsible leadership, the African people have to rise up and demand that kind of leadership from their leaders."
Wangari Maathai has a long history of pushing boundaries in Africa. Watch a preview of Revealed: Wangari Maathai »
In 1964, she became the first woman in East and Central Africa to earn a doctorate degree and went on to establish the Green Belt Movement, a tree-planting scheme promoting both the empowerment of locals and environmental conservation.
In 2004, she was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize "for her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace."
In 2009, she told CNN she is worried about the impact of the global economic downturn on Africa, combined with the consequences of global warming on a continent that's already suffering from drought, food shortages and a paucity of responsible leadership.
"We see time and time again that the ruling elite are the least concerned about the poor and not only use the poor to argue their case, but when the money is available they're not paying attention to the issues that would make a difference in the lives of the poor people."
She said the rumbles of discontent among the people of Kenya, her home country, were getting louder.
On December 12 last year as the country celebrated 45 years of independence from British rule, President Mwai Kibaki was heckled as he addressed the crowd.
"For the first time in our history, the president was shouted down as he was trying to address the people. People shouted 'food, food, food ... we are telling you we want food,'" Maathai recalled.
"That was completely unprecedented so you can see that people are unhappy, people are dissatisfied and are even willing to let their leaders know."
Fifteen years ago, Maathai would have been worried about the possible consequences of publicly criticizing the Kenyan leadership. In those days, former President Daniel arap Moi presided over an era of political repression.
After his retirement in 2002, Maathai was herself elected to parliament and served as a minister until 2007.
An election in December of the same year sparked violent clashes between supporters of the incumbent President Mwai Kibaki and the opposition leader Raila Odinga, both of whom claimed victory. They reached a power-sharing deal in April 2008 with Odinga taking the post of prime minister.
"It was a problem literally created by politicians because they wanted power," Maathai said of the recent turmoil in Kenya.
"They were able to incite the poor people, they were able to make them kill each other, and they were able to make them rise up against each other."
"But now that they manage to come together, negotiate power, to share power. What did they do? They created the largest cabinet we have ever seen; 44 ministries and 53 assistant ministers. And why was that? Because they were trying to please each other."
"At the same time people are starving, people are suffering, and they are not spending the money on the poor, they are spending the money on themselves," she said.
Maathai said the very fact that she was able to release a book criticizing Africa's political leadership demonstrates how much has been achieved in the past few decades. Watch the controversy over another book in Kenya »
"I'm able to write a book like that, and I'm not in jail yet and so we are making the changes, but unfortunately for the majority of the people change is not coming fast enough," she said.

Killer combination: open source ERP and cloud computing
I honestly can't understand why this has not gotten more attention. Opentaps, an open source ERP project, is now available on Amazon's Elastic Compute (EC2) cloud. Si Chen, of Open Source Strategies, has put up a Youtube video that shows how anyone can go to Amazon and install a working instance of opentaps in less than 10 minutes.
Although Si plays it straight, if you have any experience at all with ERP, the video is a laugh-out-loud experience. In less than 10 minutes, it's possible to do what would normally take weeks of time and thousands of dollars with traditional on-premise ERP.
Not only so, but it's also faster and cheaper than deploying any of the SaaS enterprise solutions, such as Salesforce.com or NetSuite.
Granted, open source ERP isn't for anyone, but you have to admit--this has major potential for disruption.
Watch the video here (hint--expand to full screen for better viewing):
Update, Nov. 20. I see I have some catching up to do. Another open source ERP project, Compiere, also has a deployment option on Amazon's EC2. There is a basic description of Compiere on EC2 on Compiere's website.

Oracle layoffs, November 2009
A reader emailed me today indicating he had received word from a friend, who works for Oracle, that Oracle Consulting had a sizable layoff today. He mentioned a specific percentage that I won't repeat here, without some confirmation.
A quick check of my webstats shows a pickup in web referrals today searching under the key words "Oracle layoffs," "Oracle Consulting layoff," and "Oracle layoffs, Nov 2009." (see image on right).
In the past, this type of activity has been a reliable indicator of Oracle's workforce reduction actions.
A check of the layoff blog also shows a few comments today from Oracle consultants who have been terminated--not as many as I would have expected, however.
If anyone has more details, feel free to email me, or leave a comment on this post.
Update, Nov. 14: Several readers have left comments on this post, or previous posts, basically, confirming that yesterday, Friday the 13th, was a real nightmare for many Oracle consultants. There are many more comments now on the layoff blog as well. Read comments below.
Update, Nov. 16: Dennis Howlett picks up on this post and provides further analysis of the layoffs. And, Oracle officially has no comment on the layoff.
Update, Nov. 17: A reader, who works for Oracle Consulting, reports that just prior to the recent layoffs there was a reorganization of the North American consulting unit. This individual, who had been in a management position, has now been put back into a billable role, with a target utilization.by Frank Scavo, 11/13/2009 01:23:00 PM | permalink | e-mail this!

Epicor's Shared Benefits program: watch for unintended consequences
Epicor is holding its Perspectives user conference this week in Las Vegas, and one big announcement this morning was concerning Epicor's new Shared Benefits Program. According to the press release, the program is "aimed at helping companies eliminate risk and avoid excessive cost overruns that can plague conventional enterprise resource planning (ERP) system deployments."
The press release goes on to talk about return on investment, joint responsibility, visibility, and accountability. But when it comes to metrics, the incentives only seem to address the cost side of the equation:Upon project completion, if the project is under budget, the savings are shared 50/50. Conversely, if the project runs over budget, the customer is billed 50% of the contracted professional services hourly rates for all over-budget costs.My take
First, Epicor should be commended for addressing this issue. Implementation cost is a big concern for companies of all sizes, but especially among the midmarket firms that Epicor targets, and especially under current economic conditions. I like that Epicor is facing this problem head on with its Shared Benefits program.
However, as with any incentive program, there can be unintended consequences.
- First, if Epicor receives half of the savings for bringing the project in under budget, might that not motivate the project manager to expend as few professional services dollars as possible during the implementation?
- Second, if Epicor has to cut professional services rates by 50% after exceeding the budget, how will that affect the choice of which consultants to assign to the project? Might that not motivate the project manager to utilize someone other than the best consultants? I suspect that, with the rollout of Epicor 9, Epicor's best consultants might be very heavily utilized right now, so you have to question anything that might encourage engagement managers to skimp on services hours.
To be fair, I don't believe that Epicor wants any of these consequences--that's why they're called "unintended." But it's important for customers to recognize and be aware of how it's possible for such a program to have perverse results.
- Another issue, as I mentioned, is the exclusive focus on costs. On the one hand, this is understandable: benefits from enterprise systems are often difficult to measure, while the costs are clearly recognizable. On the other hand, this could motivate the service provider to focus more on getting the system installed and getting the professional services team out the door, rather than ensuring that the customer achieves real benefits.
Again, credit goes to Epicor for trying to put some teeth in its implementation commitments. It will be interesting to see in a year or so what the real results of this program are.
Update, Nov. 11: Dennis Howlett attended the conference and had a chance to ask Craig Stephens, Epicor's VP of Consulting Services, specifically about my concerns expressed in this post. Read Dennis's write up. Stephens is right that my concerns would apply even more to a fixed-price contract, which, of course, have been quite common in ERP implementation deals for ages. Ultimately, it's all about the professionalism and qualifications of the vendor's implementation team, as well as the willingness of the client to bear its part of the responsibility for success.by Frank Scavo, 11/09/2009 12:49:00 PM | permalink | e-mail this!

NEW YORK (May 14, 2010) – A delegation from the USA Bid Committee submitted the official United States Bid Book to host the 2018 or 2022 FIFA World Cup™ in a formal ceremony at FIFA headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, today.
Representing the 90 million soccer fans in the United States, the delegation from the USA Bid Committee included U.S. Soccer President and USA Bid Committee Chairman Sunil Gulati, USA Bid Committee Executive Director David Downs, USA Bid Committee Managing Director John Kristick and U.S. Men's National Team captain Carlos Bocanegra. The delegation presented the bid book to FIFA President Joseph "Sepp" Blatter and FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke.
The United States and eight competing bids each had 15 minutes to present their bid book and engage in a question and answer session with assembled media following the ceremony. The submission of the official bid books begins a seven-month review process that will include site visits by FIFA Executive Committee members to each bidding nation and culminate with the selection of the host countries for the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups on December 2, 2010, in Zurich.
"Submitting the U.S. Bid Book to FIFA is a major milestone in this process and the result of months of planning and hard work," said Sunil Gulati, Chairman of the USA Bid Committee and President of U.S. Soccer. "But it also marks the beginning of the most critical portion of this bid in which we must make a compelling case to the 24-member FIFA Executive Committee that the United States is the right country to host the FIFA World Cup in 2018 or 2022. The support our effort has received from the people and civic leaders of this country has been tremendous and strengthens our faith in our ability to bring the World Cup back to the United States."
In addition to the United States, Australia, England and Russia formally declared their desire to host the FIFA World Cup™ in 2018 or 2022 by presenting their bid books to FIFA today as well. Netherlands-Belgium and Portugal-Spain each submitted joint bids for the 2018 and 2022 tournaments, while Japan, Qatar and South Korea are only bidding to host the tournament in 2022. Indonesia withdrew its bid in March 2010, while Mexico withdrew its bid in September 2009. Following the Mexico announcement, CONCACAF issued a public endorsement for the United States bid in November that pledged the full support of soccer's governing body for North and Central America and the Caribbean.
Last week the Mexican Soccer Federation made its public declaration of support for the U.S. bid when association President Justino Compeán, speaking from the Mexico-Ecuador friendly at the sold-out new Meadowlands Stadium on May 7, said "the USA has the infrastructure, and the will to organize the World Cup."
The USA Bid Committee also released a new video at goUSABid.com to rally support for bringing the 2018 or 2022 FIFA World Cup™ back to the US. The link to the video, which shows the widespread passion for soccer amongst Americans, can be found here: http://www.gousabid.com/pages/video-signup.
"For the first time in our nation's history we will be competing for two World Cups in 2010, one on the field in South Africa one month from now and one off the field in the intense competition to host the event in 2018 or 2022," said David Downs, USA Bid Committee Executive Director. "Hosting the FIFA World Cup in 1994, still the most-attended World Cup in history, introduced international soccer to mainstream America. The bid book submission ceremony, in all of its pageantry, will be an important step towards our mission of taking American soccer to the next level."
The U.S. Bid Book includes 18 host city finalists (alphabetically): Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle, Tampa and Washington, D.C. The list of host cities includes 21 stadiums in compliance with FIFA's requirements to be included in the bid book to FIFA. With the new Meadowlands Stadium now open, all 21 of the stadiums included in the United States bid currently exist and 18 have been built or renovated within the last 20 years. The venues average capacities of more than 76,000 spectators while 12 of the stadiums feature capacities between 75,000 and 94,000 fans.


text: I have a simple 3d model consisting of a plane with a background image, a torus, six cameras and 4 point light sources. The model is built in Blender and I want to export it and re-render it using OpenGL so that I am able to control extra camera intrinsic parameters (p.p.) for generating the scenes. If I export the model using .obj format, is OpenGL able to render the background image which is set to be the texture of the plane in Blender? Thanks
