June 07, 2013
ISTANBUL (AP) — A violent police crackdown on a small environmental sit-in at Istanbul's central Taksim Square has done more than spawn a week of protests across the country. It has left cracks in the shiny international image of a tolerant and deeply democratic Turkey.
It might even have rattled the nation's grand ambitions on the world stage, which include a bid to host the 2020 Olympics and its long-standing aim to join the European Union. Thousands of protesters gathered for the eighth consecutive night Friday in Istanbul's Taksim Square, where the demonstrations originally began, and about 10,000 showed up at the main square in the capital, Ankara. They are venting anger at Prime Minister Reccep Tayyip Erdogan, who has said the protests are bordering on illegality and must stop immediately.
In his decade in power, Erdogan has been the driving force behind many of the reforms essential to push Turkey's EU bid forward, including significant improvements to human rights legislation. The country's economy has blossomed and infrastructure projects have burgeoned, especially in Istanbul.
But many say he's gone too far. Dissent is rarely tolerated and some outspoken critics, including journalists and politicians, have been jailed. Now critics and even some supporters, accuse the prime minister of ignoring the fears and concerns of the 50 percent of the electorate who did not vote for him.
"Turkey has been harmed in many ways in the last ten day in terms of the image (and) financial markets," said Cengiz Aktar, professor of international relations of Bahcesehir University. The main index on the Istanbul Stock Exchange fell by 8 percent Thursday, after Erdogan made statements in Tunisia during a North Africa trip saying that the development project for Taksim Square would go ahead. It recouped some of its losses Friday, but has lost about 9 percent in a week.
"There is only one, just one person who can solve this problem and his name is Erdogan. We are all watching his lips," Aktar said. On his return to Istanbul early Friday, Erdogan was greeted by thousands of chanting supporters at the airport. He made a fiery speech in which he insisted he was mindful of the wishes of the entire population and not just his own supporters, but also insisted terrorists and a banking conspiracy were involved in the protests.
"The messages he gave last night were very concerning, and the mounted troops that were brought there, their slogans were really worrisome. These are indicating that this problem isn't going to be solved by dialogue," Aktar added.
The tarnishing of Turkey's international reputation was evident during a Friday conference in Istanbul aimed at furthering the country's decades-long EU accession hopes. "The duty of all of us, European Union members as much as those countries that wish to become one, is to aspire to the highest possible democratic standards and practices," said EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule. "These include the freedom to express one's opinion, the freedom to assemble peacefully and freedom of media to report on what is happening as it is happening."
Democracies, he told an audience that included Erdogan, must heed the needs of the whole of society, including those who disagree with the government. "Peaceful demonstrations constitute a legitimate way for these groups to express their views in a democratic society. Excessive use of force by police against these demonstrations has no place in such a democracy," he said.
Erdogan retorted that the EU had human rights issues too. Turkey remained committed to joining the EU, he said, but he criticized the European bloc for the lack of progress in membership talks, saying public support for the country's accession has plummeted to 30 percent.
"Why is our membership advancing at such a slow pace? The people have a right to know!" Erdogan said. "We are determined to advance on the path of the EU, but it is not possible for Turkey to continue with one-sided efforts."
There are also concerns over whether the events have damaged Istanbul's bid to host the Olympics. It has trumpeted the country's strong economy, secular democracy and geographical location linking Asia and Europe.
But the images of riot police firing water cannons and massive amounts of tear gas at protesters in the center of the city could deal a blow, especially since the initial action on May 31 was against a small number of protesters who had been camping peacefully in Taksim.
"As Istanbul's mayor going through such an event, the fact that the whole world watched saddens me," Hurriyet Daily News cited Istanbul Mayor Kadi Topbas as saying the following day in a television interview. "How will we explain it? With what claims will we host the 2020 Olympic Games?"
The protesters in Taksim were objecting to Erdogan's plans to revamp the area by uprooting the trees and building a replica Ottoman-era barracks, and, initially, a shopping mall. The mall plan has since seemed to fall away, with Erdogan now referring to an opera house, theater and possibly a museum.
Erdogan has acknowledged that excessive police force was used, but the prime minister also insisted tear gas is used in many countries to combat demonstrations. But the recent protests could in fact augur well for Turkey's EU bid, demonstrating the emergence of a "pluralist and mature" class in Turkish society.
"This will have a very positive effect (on the EU bid) in the long run," said Ali Tekin, a professor at Yasar University in Izmir, western Turkey. "In the past Turkish youths used to rely on the military to provide the checks and balances. Now they are taking it into their hands."
The military has been the traditional keeper of the secular legacy of modern Turkey's founding father, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. It has seized power three times since the early 1970s when it felt that was threatened.
"Europe can see a generation of protesters who think like them and have the same ideals as them," Tekin said. "These people believe in pluralism, in an inclusive democracy. … They reject being told what to do."
"And this is important for the EU process."

Lula has not received any gifts yet
ya ahlan ya ahlan welcome to Arab Atheists
Welcome. Are you an ex-Muslim or something?
I realize there are also Christian and Jewish Arabs. It's just cool to meet people who have broken away from Islam, so I can hope. There's so much more pressure against apostasy, in the modern Islamic culture. Relatively speaking, my apostasy from Catholicism was nothing.
I'm originally from the suburbs of Chicago, myself, but I never really learned anything about the Muslim culture there. I was relatively sheltered, at the time. I think I was only vaguely aware of Protestants, at the time, never mind whole other religions.
Anyway, good to have you here. :-)
Welcome, Lula! Glad you could join us. :D

Pretoria - Jose Maria Olazabal is longing for Spanish golf to produce a similar conveyor belt of talent to the one on show in South Africa, the 2012 Ryder Cup-winning captain said on Tuesday.
Twice major champion Olazabal, who along with the late Seve Ballesteros forged the most successful Ryder Cup partnership in the history of the competition, said standards were dropping in his native country.
"It's true that for a while we had great players in Spain but we are struggling to see a new generation coming through," Olazabal told reporters ahead of this week's inaugural Tshwane Open.
"You have a lot of great players, major winners, in this country. In a way I envy that."
Ballesteros, who died in 2011 at the age of 54 after a long battle with brain cancer, and Olazabal blazed a trail for Spanish golf.
Shotmaker extraordinaire Ballesteros bagged the last of his five majors in 1988 before Olazabal assumed the mantle, winning the US Masters in 1994 and 1999.
Sergio Garcia burst on to the scene at the 1999 US PGA Championship when he finished second behind Tiger Woods but a lipped-out putt on the 18th at Carnoustie in 2007 is as close as he has come to winning one of the game's four coveted trophies.
In Monday's world rankings Spain had two players, Garcia (17) and Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano (32) inside the top 50 with Rafael Cabrera-Bello just outside at No 59.
In contrast South Africa had Louis Oosthuizen at five, Charl Schwartzel (14), Ernie Els (24), Branden Grace (30), George Coetzee (42) and Tim Clark (48) with Richard Sterne at 52.
Four-times major champion Els won last year's British Open while Schwartzel triumphed at the 2011 Masters and Oosthuizen claimed his first major at the 2010 British Open on the iconic Old Course at St Andrews.
"You have a lot of great players, no question. For whatever reason this country is able to deliver great players," said Olazabal.
"The level here is much better than in Spain."
New Zealander Michael Campbell, the 2005 US Open champion, said greats like nine-times major winner Gary Player were responsible for the burgeoning state of the game in South Africa.
"There must be something in the water here - it's incredible," said the world No 231.
"There are so many wonderful players coming out of South Africa now. It's a tribute to the guys who paved the way such as Gary Player, Ernie Els and Retief Goosen."
Goosen won the US Open in 2001 and 2004 before Trevor Immelman joined the long line of South African winners with his 2008 Masters triumph.

This undated handout photo provided by Mark Gurney shows a olinguito. Imagine a raccoon with a teddy bear face that is so cute it's hard to resist, let alone overlook. But somehow science did _ until now. Researchers Thursday announced a rare discovery of a new species of a mammal that belongs to the grouping of large creatures that include dogs, cats and bears: the olinguito. The raccoon-sized critters leap through the trees of the cloud forests of Ecuador and Colombia at night, according to a Smithsonian researcher who has spent the past decade tracking them.

Smartphones that promise user privacy
This post first appeared in the San Jose Mercury News
Thanks in part to whistle-blower Edward Snowden, the former contractor with the National Security Agency, there's increased interest in a new crop of services, apps and phones designed to protect our personal data from prying eyes, including those of government agencies.
FreedomPop's new Privacy Phone has actually been nicknamed the "Snowden phone," according to CNet News. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S2 outfitted with 128-bit encryption that scrambles your voice calls and text messages. That level of encryption, according to the company, is the same as used by banks and government agencies to protect their data.
In addition to protecting your communications, the phone enables anonymous Internet browsing, prevents marketers from tracking your browsing, bypasses any restrictions on sites you can visit and, according to the company, "Defends against data monitoring and eavesdropping from 3rd parties."
And you can even buy the phone secretly using Bitcoin — the alterative "currency" that's not issued by any government or transferred through banks.
The phone costs $189 and comes with three months of free unlimited voice and text, and 500 MB of data. After that, the cost is $10 a month, which is a great price for any cellphone.
Another, albeit more expensive, option is Blackphone from Silent Circle. The company is led by Phil Zimmerman, who is the creator of Pretty Good Privacy, the most widely used email encryption software. During the 1990s, Zimmerman was investigated for allegedly violating the Arms Export Control Act because of U.S. government concerns that his software made it too easy for our enemies to hide their tracks. But that software also made it possible for citizens around the world to secure their data from prying eyes, including corporate spies and oppressive governments.
The Blackphone, which costs $629, plus the cost of service, consists of an unlocked smartphone with a 4.7-inch display. The operating system, called PrivateOS is actually an enhanced version of Android with lots of extra security features, including anonymous search, "smart disabling" of Wi-Fi except for trusted hotspots, "fine grain control" over app permissions and encrypted calls, text messaging and video chat.
Boeing's tamper-proof phone
While FreedomPop and Silent Circle use software and encrypted services to protect user privacy, Boeing — the giant aircraft maker — is offering the Boeing Black Smartphone, a mobile phone that also has hardware protection. Aimed at government agencies and contractors, the Boeing Black smartphone is also based on Android and, in addition to software protections, is tamper proof to avoid the possibility of someone getting inside to plant a tracking or listening device or to cipher data from the phone's memory. The phone, according to Reuters, is slightly larger than an iPhone and uses dual SIM cards. It also supports satellite communications and, most important, will self-destruct if anyone tries to tamper with it.
Pricing hasn't been announced, but this is not a phone for everyone. Ironically, the very agencies that a lot of people want to hide from — like the NSA — are likely to be among its customers, along with military personnel and others who deal with highly classified information. Had this phone been around when he took office, President Barack Obama might have been a potential customer. He was famously wedded to his BlackBerry when he ran for office in 2008 and since becoming president has been using a secure smartphone.
Who might want one?
You don't have to be a criminal or worried about the NSA to be in the market for phones like these. On its website, Blackphone is billed as a device for those who want to make their own choices "and regain the ability to keep your life private." Privacy is a right even for people who have nothing to hide and, while probably relatively small, there is a market for people who are willing to go to extraordinary lengths to protect their privacy.
There is also an international market for these devices, especially now that it's known that our government has spied on cellphone communications of foreign leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Can privacy become mainstream?
To me, the big question is whether privacy can ever become mainstream. And by privacy I don't just mean protection from the NSA, criminals or corporate spies, but protection from tracking, targeted ads and profilers who make it their business to know as much as possible about our business so they cannot only sell things to us but sell us (or our identities) to marketing companies.
Some of the very companies that are loudly protesting NSA's access to users' personal information are themselves profiting by rifling through and warehousing that very same information. True, companies like Google and Facebook don't have the power to deny our freedom or force us to testify as do governments, but they do have the ability to sell our information to the highest bidder or use it to bombard us with highly personal advertising. It's time for industry, government and — most important — an enlightened citizenry to reign in some of that "big data" that's being collected about all of us to make sure that we, not big institutions with .gov or .com after their names, are in control of our own information.

Yep- I have another post today! I know...I told you earlier this week that I have a lot going on at the blog and just not enough days for all of it! Tee hee! It has been great fun though, and I really hope you are enjoying all of the projects and such.
For this post, I am participating in Taylored Expressions February "Blast from the Past" blog hop!! I love participating in this blog hop every month, because it makes me utilize my TE stamps more often! And now that I have been a guest designer for them for two months, I have even more stamps to use {once they get past the required time of being released, of course!} The blog hop this month is themed around "green", and could be interpreted however you liked. I chose to utilize it in the most common form...the color, and used multiple shades of green on my card.
P.S. Because I have had so much on my blog this week, here are some links to other things you might be looking for:

My husband is out of town on business all this week. While I will miss him terribly, there are a few good things that I can look forward to this week.
I can watch General Hospital without hearing his running commentary.
I can catch up on my blogs without feeling guilty about spending too much time on the computer.
More importantly, I can cook foods that Corey would never eat. Corey is a very picky eater. Considering how much I love food, that fact amazes me every day. But I guess Eharmony doesn't have that particular question in their matchmaking test.
I will tell you a secret: one reason that most of my recipes for entrees on my blog serve only one or two people is because Corey doesn't eat most of the foods I do. I have gotten very good at creating recipes for just myself. Usually I have leftovers for at least one more day, which I love!
It's also tough cooking for one. Sometimes I feel too lazy to cook for just myself after a long day at work. That's why I make sure my meals are easy.
Tonight's meal was no different. I took my recipe for Boneless Buffalo Chicken Bites (excellent recipe, by the way) and made strips instead of bites.
Along with the chicken strips, I had some Alexia sweet potato fries and asparagus that I roasted with olive oil and Cajun seasoning.
Of course I just had to put barbecue sauce on top of the asparagus. 😉
The meal was perfect. It was quick, easy and healthy. Corey wouldn't have wanted a single thing that was on my plate. He has no idea what he's missing.
I think I will go watch General Hospital now.

Here in the U.S., summer hours now officially last one month longer than they used to, thanks to "W" signing a new law that changes the times that daylight savings begins and ends. Usually this time of year, we'd still be wallowing in the absurdity of dismal and dark winter hours. But hooray!!! Spring is here and summer is right around the corner. No other president has done so much to help the average kitesurfer... er... windsurfers and surfers either!
Thanks "W"!
I can forgive a lot of death, destruction, and other assorted mayhem as long as you give me more summer.

The two teams meeting for the NFL Championship on December 15, 1946 were no strangers to postseason action but were bouncing back from down years in '45, the last World War II-affected season. The Bears, owned and coached by George Halas who had gone off to the Navy himself, were a solid club led by 30-year-old QB Sid Luckman (pictured at right) and featuring a deep backfield. From a 3-7 showing in 1945 – the team's first losing record since 1929 – Chicago bounced back to 8-2-1 in topping the Western Division.
Head Coach Steve Owen's Giants had been 3-6-1 the previous year but rose to the top of the Eastern Division in '46 at 7-3-1. The addition of tailback Frank Filchock, who had split time with the great Sammy Baugh in Washington for six years, helped rejuvenate the offense while the defense was tough, especially on the line. They had beaten the Bears the previous month, but injuries were a factor as FB Bill Paschal was out with a broken jaw.
There was an extra element of drama before the teams took the field. On the morning of the game, it was revealed that Giants FB/DB Merle Hapes, who was slated to start in place of Paschal, was being suspended by Commissioner Bert Bell for failure to report an attempted bribe for the purpose of throwing the title game. While Hapes had rejected the offer, his failure to inform officials of the offer resulted in his suspension. Filchock, who had also been named, denied being approached and was allowed to play against the Bears.
The news had already broken publicly before the game was played and some in the record crowd of 58,346 at the Polo Grounds booed Filchock when the Giants took the field. Things did not start out well for the home team as the Bears scored twice in the first nine minutes. First, following a fumble recovery by LB Stu Clarkson, Luckman threw to end Ken Kavanaugh for a 21-yard touchdown and then HB Dante Magnani intercepted a Filchock pass and returned it 19 yards for a TD. The Bears were ahead by 14-0.
The Giants got on the board before the opening period was over. Filchock, playing with a broken nose, capped a 52-yard drive by tossing a pass to end Frank Liebel that covered 38 yards for a touchdown and Chicago's margin was cut to 14-7. It remained that way through a scoreless second quarter.
New York got a break in the third quarter when Bears FB Joe Osmanski fumbled and end Jim Lee Howell recovered for the Giants at the Chicago 20. Three plays later, Filchock threw a five-yard TD pass to FB Steve Filipowicz and, with the successful extra point, it was a tie game at 14-14 heading into the final period.
Early in the fourth quarter, the Bears drove into New York territory as Luckman passed to HB George McAfee for 17 yards and end Jim Keane for 16. With the ball at the 19, Halas gave the word to his star quarterback, who rarely ran the ball, to utilize a specially-designed play that he was holding for the right occasion. Luckman faked a handoff to McAfee on an apparent sweep and, with the defense shifting accordingly, he trotted to his right with the ball at his hip and then took off on a bootleg. It worked to perfection as Luckman, who hadn't scored a rushing touchdown during the regular season, broke a tackle at the 10 and made it to the end zone. The TD put the Bears back in front and seemed to deflate the Giants. Frank Maznicki added a 26-yard field goal before it was all over and Chicago came away with the NFL Championship in the hard-fought game by a score of 24-14.
Total yards were virtually even, with the Giants holding the edge at 248 to 245. New York also had 13 first downs to Chicago's 10. However, New York also turned the ball over a staggering eight times, to three turnovers by the Bears.
Sid Luckman completed 9 of 22 passes for 144 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, had the one key rushing TD, and also had a good day kicking the ball, with his seven punts averaging 42.4 yards and helping the Bears in the battle for field position. Chicago's top four rushers were all bunched together, with HB Hugh Gallarneau leading the way with 24 yards on 6 carries, FB Bill Osmanski gaining 23 yards on 9 attempts, brother Joe Osmanski carrying 8 times for 20 yards, and FB Don Perkins adding 18 yards on four rushes. George McAfee only ran for two yards on 6 carries but led the club in pass receiving with four catches for 57 yards. Ken Kavanaugh had 53 yards and a TD on his two receptions.
Frank Filchock (pictured below with Coach Steve Owen) was under a heavy rush from the Bears defense throughout the contest and had to utilize his mobility to find time to throw. As it was, he was successful on 9 of 26 of those throws for 128 yards with two touchdowns but also six interceptions. With injuries, plus a suspension, affecting the available backs, wingback George Franck led the Giants in rushing with 55 yards on 6 attempts. End Jim Poole caught four passes for 40 yards and Steve Filipowicz, in addition to his 9 carries for 20 yards, gained 41 yards and scored a TD on two pass receptions.
In the trial of Alvin Paris, the gambler who attempted to fix the game, Filchock admitted to having lied about not being approached to throw the contest, having rejected the offer and wanting an opportunity to prove himself in the game (he was generally given credit for playing well, despite the interceptions). Commissioner Bell indefinitely suspended both Hapes and Filchock, although both were eventually reinstated (in 1954 and 1950, respectively). They played in Canada in the interim but, except for one appearance by Filchock at the end of the 1950 season with the Colts, neither was active in the NFL again. Filchock went on to both play and coach in the CFL and eventually became the first head coach of the new American Football League's Denver Broncos in 1960.
The Bears went 8-4 in 1947 and finished second to their crosstown rivals, the Chicago Cardinals, in the Western Division. New York dropped much further, going all the way to the bottom of the Eastern Division at 2-8-2. Neither club appeared again in the postseason until 1950, when each tied for first in their respective divisions. Having met in four title games, they would next face off against each other in a NFL Championship game in 1956.

I am a php dev, and became curious about java as a base for a web app. I would like to ask,
consider the same system requirements
1.) what does java based web app defer from let say php based web app (aside from syntax of course)
what are the pros and cons? I know this is not a constructive question but I can't help my curiousity.
also based on my own research, it seems, java based web apps are more targeted on large scale systems and not a good choice for small to mid size systems
Thank You in advance

Judd, Joseph Faisal Nusairat, Jim Shingler 2012 | 364 Pages | ISBN: 1430248068 | PDF | 6 MB Web frameworks are playing a major role in the creation of today's most compelling web applications, because they automate many of the tedious tasks, allowing developers to instead focus on providing users with creative and powerful features. Java developers have been particularly fortunate in this area, having been able to take advantage of Grails, an open source framework that supercharges productivity when building Java–driven web sites. Grails is based on Groovy, which is a very popular and growing dynamic scripting language for Java developers and was inspired by Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk. Beginning Groovy, Grails and Griffon is the first introductory book on the Groovy language and its primary web framework, Grails. Griffon is also covered. While Grails is the Web framework for building Groovy Web applications, Griffon is the deskop framework for building desktop Groovy applications. Could Groovy be the new Java? It's light, fast and free (open source). This book gets you started with Groovy, Grails and Griffon, and culminates in the example and possible application of some real–world projects. You follow along with the development of each project, implementing and running each application while learning new features along the way. What you'll learn • Understand the fundamentals of the open source, dynamic Groovy scripting language and the Grails web framework. • Capitalize upon Grails' well–defined framework architecture to build web applications faster than ever before. • Improve your web application with cutting–edge interface enhancements using Ajax. • Use Grails' object–relational mapping solution, GORM, to manage your data store more effectively than ever before. • Take advantage of Groovy to create reporting services, implement batch processing, and create alternative client interfaces. • Deploy and upgrade your Grails–driven applications with expertise and ease. • Discover an alternative client in Groovy as well. • Explore the Griffon framework for creating Groovy-based desktop applications. Who this book is for Java and web developers looking to learn and embrace the power and flexibility offered by the more agile, lightweight Groovy scripting language and its Grails and Griffon frameworks.

When it comes to breast enhancement there are many options a woman can choose from, such as Perfect Curves. This company has gotten a lot of attention from people but a lot of people wonder if the company is true or if it is a Perfect Curves scam.
Perfect Curves make some very big claims about their breast enhancement supplements and creams. However, before anybody buys their products they should understand a few things about some of the ingredients that are in natural breast enhancement products.
Some Ingredients That Could be in Perfect Curves Products
The FDA sometimes do not regulate companies that have natural herbal supplements. This is why people get scammed so easily.
With that said, one of the ingredients that are possibly found in breast enhancement pills is Blessed Thistle. Some countries do approve of this ingredient and is usually used for the treatment of indigestion and appetite loss. This ingredient has no known effects on enhancing breasts but it can increase milk flow in a nursing woman.
Another ingredient used in many breast enhancement supplements is Dong Quai. Dong Quai is usually used to treat menstrual symptoms. This is another ingredient that has not been proven to have any effects on enhancing breasts. Actually, test tube studies should that this ingredient stimulates breast cancer cell growth, and this is a very serious side effect. This is why women who take this ingredient should visit their local OBYGN and ask them about Dong Quai.
Fennel is also found in many products, such as the ones in Perfect Curves. This ingredient has been found in food and medicine for many years now. According to some, there may be some evidence that Fennel does increase breast tissue in rats. However, there really is no evidence on the effects in human women.
Fenugreek can be found in a lot of different breast enhancement products. There are some stories that say that Fenugreek was fed to women in order to enhance their breasts. However, there really are no solid stories that confirm that Fenugreek increases the size of women's breasts.
Knowing Who To Trust
There really is no evidence that companies like Perfect Curves produces breast enhancement products that actually work in the long run. Women can easily get the truth about Perfect Curves by simply talking to an OBGYN that has years of experience. There are way to many companies that try to trick women into thinking that their products will increase breast size. Many products simple do not have any clinical science that backs up their claims. This is why it is important for a woman to seek out professional advice from a licensed ONYGN.
A OBYGN can aid women if they are in need of help with health problems. OBYGNs also are able to give advice on treatment options for many conditions. A good example of this is if a woman comes down with UTI, they can go and get proper treatment from a loacal doctor who is experience.

Survey also finds respondents evenly divided over whether feds or states should foot the bill for cleanup.
Most voters were pleased with the federal government's response to megastorm Sandy, which ravaged the East Coast in October, according to a new survey.
Fifty-five percent of likely U.S. voters rated the government's response to the disaster good or excellent in a poll that Rasmussen Reports conducted last weekend. Survey respondents were about evenly divided over whether the federal government or the states should be responsible for post-storm recovery costs. Forty-one percent of those surveyed said Uncle Sam should play a bigger role in paying for a disaster's aftermath, while 39 percent believed state government should take primary responsibility for footing the bill. Twenty percent of respondents said they were not sure who should pick up the bulk of the tab.
The question over who should pay more in cleanup costs reflected political affiliations. Fifty-six percent of Republicans said states should bear most of the costs associated with disaster recovery, while 51 percent of Democrats and 42 percent of those who were unaffiliated believed it was largely the federal government's responsibility.
The survey also had some good news for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Sixty-four percent of respondents had a favorable opinion of the agency compared to just 28 percent in August 2008. After the government's response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Democrats in particular remained very critical of FEMA for the remainder of the George W. Bush administration; now Democrats have a higher opinion of the agency than Republicans and unaffiliated voters.
The federal government pays a portion of flood insurance costs for homeowners near water, but according to the survey, 56 percent of respondents don't think the government should contribute to flood insurance, while 31 percent said such payments should continue.
Rasmussen Reports surveyed 1,000 likely voters from Nov. 16-17.

Smart Defense Team Helps NATO Face Lean Times
By Amaani Lyle
American Forces Press Service
NORFOLK, Va., Dec. 13, 2012 – As the cost of militaries increase, NATO allies can benefit from an efficiencies-driven Smart Defense program, Allied Command Transformation officials said here yesterday.
Army Lt. Col. William Brown III, ACT Core Team member, and Richard Perks, ACT Capability Development Strategist spoke with reporters during the 2012 Chiefs of Transformation Conference. The event brings together NATO, partner, industry and government agency professionals to share best practices and expand collaboration.
"What Smart Defense really tries to do is help allies work together," said Perks, adding that even a small uptick in multinational group projects could significantly reduce the burden on individual allies.
"It's about facilitating allies' efficiency in their own defense programs … and by doing so it's better for NATO," he said.
Brown agreed, noting that NATO aims to build and maintain capabilities that increase its effectiveness and relevance.
"Smart Defense is one of the ways that we are helping the nations to meet the demands of capability requirements as we go forward," Brown said. "We try to align the capabilities, achieve economies of scale and reduce duplication."
To do that, Brown explained, Smart Defense first examines the capabilities under a conceptual lens in helping to produce policy through NATO-level discussion. Next, he said, the core team takes a pragmatic approach to execute the ideas.
"We have 148 Smart Defense projects and proposals that cover a wide range of areas from procurement to training … a lot of them in the logistical realm," he said.
Brown cited a recent helicopter maintenance success story in which allies merged powers and unearthed major savings.
"Instead of nations having to send their experts and their maintenance people to Afghanistan to do scheduled maintenance on the aircraft, they are able to work together through the NATO logistics committee [in which the U.S.] had the lead and several nations participated," Brown said.
Ultimately, Brown explained, the Smart Defense project saved a nation 1.2 million Euros by enabling it to leave the aircraft in place for repairs instead of sending it back to its home station.
Equally important is operational readiness, Perks said.
"The helicopter stayed there, and whereas it would've been three or four months before it was available again, it was available in three or four weeks," he added.
Perks also emphasized that NATO's capabilities are largely rooted in what the allies bring to the alliance. Because some NATO members have experienced difficult financial times, Brown said, Smart Defense is not a new concept, rather one brought to the foreground based on necessity.
Brown also noted the value of smaller countries that have positively impacted the alliance.
"It's great to see a country like Slovakia or the Czech [Republic], who both have robust programs in the chemical and biological area [and] are providing some of the expertise on the projects related to that," Brown said.
The Czech Republic's flight training program has been a feather in the nation's cap, Brown added.
"Instead of every nation having to train five to 10 pilots per year, let's work together on that. You can just imagine fixed costs when you run a flight school," Brown said.
"Smart Defense will continue if we're able to get the mindset included in everybody's beam," he said. "It's not always going to be about pushing projects or proposals under the Smart Defense banner, but we need to make it so that it is included as part of the [NATO Defense Planning Process]."
NATO's defense planning process, according to Brown, is a top-down approach where the requirements for member nations are being provided by NATO, while Smart Defense helps provide a bottom-up feed with the projects and proposals the nations use.
"The nations have come up with these ideas," Brown said. "If they believe that a project is important for them to pursue, the fact that they're working in a multinational effort instead of trying to do it themselves … you see the efficiencies of these projects as they go forward."
Perks shared Brown's sentiment.
"Smart Defense addresses the fiscal reality head on," Perks said. "Capabilities are big, they're expensive, they're complex and it's increasingly difficult to build them, so we have to come together -- it's the way ahead."

Project Management Infrastructure
In 2011, the Eclipse Foundation began a new effort to replace the existing project management infrastructure--which includes the Developer Portal--with a new unified infrastructure with the intent to make project management activities more consistent and generally easier for all involved.
Themes of this effort include:
- Improved consistency. Configuration/data-driven project web presence, direct linkage between releases, reviews, and plans. Information--including basic project metadata, project plans, and release review information--is captured and retained in a consistent (and easily leveraged) data-based format (rather than in multiple documents in arbitrary formats).
- All-in-one-place. Committers are able to edit information in place on the project information pages. Text/information in one place with links in another is eliminated where possible. Comments and discussion related to reviews, elections, etc. are connected directly to the item being discussed.
- Get started faster. By default, projects are provided with a data-driven website that includes consistent links to project releases, reviews, downloads, etc. Projects can opt to override the default and provide their own customized web presence.Setting up a project presence is a matter of configuration, not PHP programming against proprietary APIs.
- Development
- Technology Choices
- Project Management Infrastructure/Overview and Design
- Data Migration
- Live instance for testing and experimentation
Project information pages, which are are used as the primary website by many Eclipse projects, are generated from data provided by project committers. On these pages, you will find useful information such as project description, scope, Bugzilla summaries, commit summaries, lists of repositories, and a multitude of useful links.
All of this information is presented for consumption by the general community.
Users are not required to log in to access information about projects, releases, and many other aspects of the system. But if the user does log in, more options are made available to them.
A logged in user, for example, has the ability to edit information about projects for which they are a member. That is, a project committer, or project lead can edit information about their projects. In this case, an "Edit" option appears.
Clicking "Edit" puts the system into "edit" mode allowing the user to make changes.
All changes are tracked via a built-in revision control system. Other project members can review revisions to see who changed what and when; more usefully, the information can be reverted if mistakes are made.
Note that PMC members and EMO staff members can also make changes to project information (these changes are also tracked).
At the beginning of a release cycle, projects are required to describe their plans for the release in a project plan. A project plan is expected to evolve somewhat during development on the release. At the end of the release, a project is required to provide retrospective documentation of the release for community review. All of this information is captured and maintained by the Project Management Infrastructure.
The primary benefits of maintaining this information within the system are consistency in how the data is provided, and ease of dissemination. This information is useful and valuable: having it in a format that is easily consumable will mean that it can easily be disseminated to a wide audience.
The "edit" mode for a release provides the ability to set the date and name of the release. Additionally, there are several tab groups of fields to specify a description, project plan items, and review items.
There other benefits of this set up:
- Finding and updating this information is consistent and easy; and
- By having explicit fields with built-in help text, the committer/project lead providing this data knows exactly what data is required and in what format.
Again, it is assumed that project members will revisit and tweak this information periodically during the development cycle of a release.
The following themes will guide the development of the new Project Management Infrastructure:
- Trust committers to do the right thing;
- Once and only once (avoid repeating information);
- Everything is undoable (i.e. revision tracking); and
- Do the simplest thing that can possibly work (avoid complexity)
We assume that committers will always endeavour to do the right thing. Specifically, we give committers leeway to do what they think is right. This, in combination with revision tracking means that mistakes can be easily undone. A committer may, for example, make ill-informed changes to a project's scope that is later reversed by the project lead or PMC.
It would be easy to get mired in multiple layers of approvals for various activities, or complex logic to prevent committers from shooting themselves in the proverbial foot. But such complexity makes the cost of later change and ongoing maintenance prohibitively high.
Note that we make a distinction between committers and general users. We do not--as a general rule--trust the general population to do the right thing. For completeness, we include with the definition of "committers" all those users with roles that permit them access to the project (including project leads, pmc members, EMO staff, etc.)

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - A pair of powerful and divisive figures registered Saturday to run in Iran's presidential election, providing a jolt to the political scene a month ahead of the vote.
Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a former president who still wields enormous influence, and Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, a close confident of current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, submitted their official paperwork just before Saturday's deadline. State TV showed both men at the Interior Ministry signing up. A smiling Ahmadinejad accompanied Mashaei and raised the man's hand in a gesture of support.
The two hopefuls' entry into the race presents a tough challenge to conservative candidates loyal to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and will likely intensify competition between rival groups in the June 14 vote.
Rafsanjani now stands as the prime hopeful for reformists, who were crushed and left leaderless after a government crackdown on mass street protests following Ahmadinejad's disputed 2009 election victory.
A Rafsanjani win would likely open the way for the easing of tensions with the outside world and distance Iran from Ahmadinejad's bombastic style and the hardline policies of the Islamic Republic's conservative camp.
Iran is grappling with tough oil and banking sanctions imposed by the West over Tehran's controversial nuclear program, which have caused the country's income from oil and gas exports to drop about 50 percent. The West fears Iran may ultimately be able to develop nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran denies.
The decision of Rafsanjani and Mashaei to run greatly reduces the chance of a Khamenei loyalist winning the vote. About two dozen conservatives, including former foreign minister Ali Akbar Velayati, who is now a top adviser to Khamenei, and Tehran mayor Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, have registered their candidacies as well.
But Rafsanjani's candidacy means conservative hopefuls likely will have to step aside to limit the number of hardline figures in the race to have a minimum of hope for victory.
The hardline Guardian Council, a constitutional watchdog, will vet the applicants before allowing them to run.
Mashaei, who has drawn the wrath of Khamenei in recent years, said he will respect the law if the council scratches his candidacy.
'All must give in to the law,' he told reporters.
Ahmadinejad is barred by law from seeking a third term due to term limits under Iran's constitution.

Raptors have said they are going to add perhaps one more player to make the roster 15. If not that would leave an open roster sport that would provide some flexibility down the road.
So what might a Raptor 10 Man Rotation look like?

It is a pretty impressive roster and rotation on paper is it not? Definitely good enough to be a playoff team in the East. But the real question will become if it is good enough to get this team beyond a first round playoff series? It would look like if things hold to form that Raptors would be looking at playing the Atlanta Hawks in the first round. A very athletic team that could cause the Raptors headaches. But that is looking way far into the future.
But it seems that when the Raptors hit camp it is going to be more about establishing rotations rather than the actual rotation itself. I don't think anyone can build a solid case for the 4 guys I have left out of the rotation can you?
So really Jay Triano in his first training camp is going to have a little less to worry about. Word on the street is the Raps will be heading back to Ottawa. So that should be funny for folks up there. I know a few of the DNB readership is from the Ottawa area. Enjoy the weekend no matter where you are checking in from. I am doing the radio in Montreal on CJLO late night. Still working out on when that will be. But at some point between 12am and 2am. I will be on there talking ball.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
He says he doesn't want to say the clouds are parting, but that is how Tim McGraw thinks his new music will feel. He told Country Aircheck there's going to be a whole new level to what he does. "I'm in a position with the music I'm recording that it's kind of a watershed time for me as an artist. I don't want to say clouds are parting, but it sort of has that feeling artistically," he said. He also promises that his fans will hear some of this new music — at least two or three songs — on his summer tour with Kenny Chesney which kicks off Saturday night (June 2) in Tampa. He isn't sure exactly when the new album will be ready. It could be out this fall or maybe after the first of the year. But McGraw does know this: "I feel like there's way more ahead of me than there ever has been behind me." So, you could say, he ain't as good as he's gonna get, but he's better than he used to be.

US default can be good value
Posted by Dave Bath on 2011-07-30
I admit hoping the impasse in the US continues until a US default – as it would do much good worldwide, not the least, help the US citenzery a great deal, although in the long term
For one, the US dollar needs to be treated on its merits, devalued by the market rather than priced at a premium on the basis of nostalgia.
A default, then backdown of the Republicans so employees are paid, would through a low greenback and deserved loss of consumer confidence, might help muzzle consumerism first in the US and then across the world.
A generation-long technical depression is not incompatible with decent lives everywhere, if capital and production moves away from supplying the affluenza addiction and redirected to real human needs.
A population can be fed, housed, literate, and concentrate on human-heartedness more efficiently without skewing production to trinkets, without the extra floorspace for the wealthy to house those trinkets.
A long technical depression is not inconsistent with better lives, better provision of necessities – and politicians who can only manage a wasteful economy with GDP growth not merely illusory but counterproductive, are unfit for their positions as leaders.
This redirection is useful, no, necessary (if not sufficient) for managing the misery climate change will cause.
People fear economic adjustment to climate change, a percent or two cut on growth, without considering that it is possible for cuts to be targetted, indeed, cutting non-essentials more than the environment requirements permits an increase in economic activity in essential sectors.
A plummeting avoidance of trinkets, a redirection of reduced total economic activity to increase economic activity where it should have been concentrated anyway … if a US default can hasten this, then bring it on.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Sydney hits 45.2 degreesBookmark this
Sydney is sweltering through its second hottest day on record, with the mercury hitting 45.2 degrees in the city just before 2pm.
Weatherzone said on Friday afternoon the city could surpass its hottest ever day of 45.3 degrees, recorded at Observatory Hill in January 1939.
Many parts of NSW were hovering around 45 degrees at lunchtime on Friday as a fiery air mass from inland Australia moved over the state, pushing the mercury well above the forecast maximum.
In Sydney, the original forecast was that the temperature would reach a maximum of 39 degrees in the city but by 12.30pm the mercury already had reached a stifling 43.3 degrees at Observatory Hill, climbing to 45 degrees at 1.43pm and then 45.2 degrees at 1.58pm. The west was even hotter, with Penrith hitting 45.9 degrees at 2.15pm. Sydney Airport hit 45.9 degrees at 2.07pm.
Just after midday at Wilcannia Airport in the state's west, the temeprature hit a scorching 44.9 degrees. Not far behind it were Albion Park, in the Illawarra, and Condobolin in the central west, which both registered 44.8 degrees just after midday.
Weatherzone meteorologist Ben Domensino said this was the second day this month the city had sweated through temperatures over 40 degrees.
That only had happened four times in January in the past 107 years.
"Sydneysiders may find this type of heat unusual," he said.
"Last summer only saw the mercury reach a top of 33.4 degrees, and [the city] recorded just two days over 30. On average, the city typically reaches 40 degrees once every three summers, although this year has seen an unusually hot start.
"Reduced cloud cover over central and western Australia during the past few weeks has allowed a very hot air mass to build. This heat has periodically made its way towards the nation's coast due to the passage of low pressure troughs across the nation's south."
Thousands of revellers at the Big Day Out at the Sydney Showground have been warned to drink plenty of water and wear protective clothing and sunscreen throughout the day, while misting stations are on site to cool down partygoers.
The heat was expected to peak in the low 40s around Coonabarabran, where firefighters are battling a 46,000-hectare bushfire that has destroyed 51 properties since it ignited last weekend. A total fire ban has been declared for Friday.
At midday on Friday the fire was burning in the Bugaldie area, one kilometre south of Bugaldie village, and eight kilometres west of Coonabarabran.
The Newell Highway has been closed in both directions near Gowang between Gilgandra and Mendooran Road in Warkton.
An emergency alert telephone message has been sent to residents in the area, and residents have been advised to follow their bushfire survival plans and monitor conditions.
"The fire is burning close to rural properties in the Bingie Grumble Road, Cenncruich Road, O'Connors Road, Gowang Road and Tannabah Road areas. People in these areas must remain vigilant and stay up to date with the changing fire conditions," the Rural Fire Service said in a statement.
Weatherzone meteorologist Ben McBurney said the heat was likely to linger over that region into Saturday.
"It's not going to be as hot on Saturday, probably in the high 30s, but still not very useful for the fires over there," he said.
Mr McBurney said a cool change was expected to sweep over Sydney about 8pm on Friday, bringing a rapid drop in temperature and creating cooler sleeping conditions.
The change would be accompanied by the chance of showers and thunderstorms late in the evening.
"This looks like the last burst of heat that's going to come through from this build up of heat over the interior," Mr McBurney said.
"The cool change is going to bring quite a sharp drop in temperature, and winds are going to turn onshore over the weekend and this brings the risk of a few showers. Not very heavy, just a few light showers across the weekend. It's going to keep temperatures down in the mid-20s."

I often call my journalism students "the architects of the change." What I mean is that, as the whole industry transforms itself, it will most likely be up to those who are just entering the field to be in on the action of what the future of news will be.
(If you think this is shameless self-promotion for my journalism blog, well, you could be right. But keep reading.)
Lately, a few rumblings tell me that maybe there are more such architects out there, in a much broader sense: the twenty- and thirty-something women who may be agonized over their career choices today are the ones who will eventually get it right for the women of tomorrow. Maybe the men, too. Maybe feminism isn't so much about playing the boys' game — but changing the game itself.
One letter to the NYTimes in the wake of Maureen Dowd's "Blue is the new Black" stated the problem thus:
Women have made tremendous material and emotional strides, but they feel torn among competing demands in a way that few men seem to feel torn.
All professionals have to make decisions — sometimes hard decisions — in the course of pursuing a career and raising a family at the same time. But women tend to perceive these decisions not only as time-management choices but also as existential choices.
Every hour spent at work or at home is not simply an hour, but a testament to what makes one happy — and what one is willing to sacrifice for that happiness. As long as women feel that their decisions carry such freight, it won't be surprising if they continue to feel uneasy about making them.
So true. But here's what I'm wondering. Are some brave young women starting to play it their way? Rather than following their fathers, their brothers, their husbands, their bosses into the trenches — while still in knots over what they're leaving behind — it seems to me these women instead are standing up for something for along the lines of work AND life.
Often I hear young women lawyers– who love their work and are damn good at it — talk of the idiocy of prioritizing a partnership slot if it means having no life outside work. A family practitioner I know well told me about adding a woman doctor to his practice — part time. Great that he was looking for a woman, I said, but why part time? Well, he said, a lot of women docs go into family practice precisely because it's one of the few specialties where you can have a solid practice — and still maintain a life outside it.
And there's this: Fast Company reports on a new book (Upstarts – How Gen Y Entrepreneurs Are Rocking the World of Business and 8 Ways You Can Profit from Their Success (McGraw/Hill), all about the way that Gen Y entrepreneurs, in their quest for flexibility, are starting to transform the workplace. From an interview with the author, Donna Fenn:
CY: Welcome, Donna Fenn! One of the reasons I love your book is that I want business leaders to expand their understanding of work+life flexibility, or flexibility in how, when and where work is done and life is managed. Flexibility, in all of its forms, is a strategic lever that has broad application as a way to run your business. The Gen Y entrepreneurs in your book seem to fundamentally see flexibility as a way of operating. Here are some examples from the stories in the book:
- Cost Saving: Having all or part of your workforce work remotely to save overhead costs, such as real estate.
- Talent Resourcing: Using a combination of full-time, part-time, and "as needed" employees.
- Productivity/Engagement: Letting people flexibly manage their lives and work as long as they produce. This boosts morale and productivity.
- Marketing/Brand Development: Devoting a certain number of hours a month to community service to promote their brand and motivate employees.
Do you think these Gen Y entrepreneurs are applying strategic work+life flexibility consciously or intuitively? What do they "get" that many business leaders over 30 years old struggle to understand?
And this: A new study shows that recent college and MBA grads prioritize work-life balance over, gasp, money:
Students about to enter the workforce are more interested in a good work-life balance than they are in money, a new study says.
The Universum Student Survey 2009, which polled more than 60,000 students in American undergraduate and MBA programs, found that 67 per cent of undergraduates and 58 per cent of MBA students consider work-life balance to be their No. 1 career goal, more important even than compensation.
Even a hard-boiled feminist private eye hints at a sea change, according to a review in the Washingon Post. In her newest V.I. Warshawski mystery novel, Sara Paretsky introduces a millenial kid, her cousin Petra, representative of "young women who would never dream of identifying themselves as feminists, but who regard their lives as a delicious menu of choices." Note the word "delicious".
Where do all these signs point? Who knows. But I have to wonder sometimes that, as we slowly begin to carve out our own paths, the payoff for all these choices that are making us so crazy is that, ultimately, we sisters are becoming more evolved than our brothers. Or at least, we're on our way. Growing pains, indeed.

ENGS 15: Undergraduate Investigations in Engineering (ENGS 15.00)
An original investigation in a phase of science or engineering under the supervision of a member of the staff. Students electing the course will be expected to have a proposal approved by the department chair and to meet weekly with the staff member supervising the investigation. The course is open to undergraduates who are not majoring in engineering. It may be elected only once, or taken as a one-third course credit for each of three consecutive terms. A report describing the details of the investigation must be filed with the department chair and approved at the completion of the course.

Just found out from a UiView mail list that undertow no longer supports UiView? Is that correct? That would be horrible! And I can't understand why they'd stop their support? I thought that they don't really have to do anything special to provide support for Uiview, do they?
I hope the post on the mail list is wrong. Does anyone have any details?

Sorry for the prolonged absence I've been traveling quite a bit for work and "leisure" lately and haven't had time to do much crafting. And my large stack of quilts is still staring me down waiting to be finished so it's been hard to motivate myself. But I did participate in a couple of swaps over the past month or so that were definitely worth blogging about.
First up was the Pretty Little Pouch Swap. In which I got this little pouch
Which goes beautifully with the tote I got in the For the Love of Solids Swap (which is going to start up again after the holidays if you are interested).
Right after the pouch swap I joined the Goodie Bag Swap. I made this Amy Butler pattern using the Melody Miller Bee fabric.
I had a really hard time letting this purse go and if the fabric wasn't so expensive I probably would have made myself one!
Of course the bag I got in return was just as cool.
And it even came with a change purse!
I loved the purse I got in this swap and the little pouch from the other swap so much that I decided to make another little pouch to match my new purse. The colors aren't a perfect match but they go well together and I wanted to use what I had on hand instead of purchasing new fabric.
Now regardless of which purse I carry I have a matching pouch that will hold my phone, wallet, chapstick etc so they won't get lost in the bottom of the bag :).

Whitney Gaspar has long known that she didn't have much endurance.
When she was in secondary school, Gaspar said she ran a "slow mile" in gym class of 14 to 15 minutes and "avoided stuff (that required) a lot of endurance."
Then in December 1999, she caught the flu and couldn't walk four or five steps without her lips turning blue, said Gaspar, 36, of Plainfield.
Doctors misdiagnosed Gaspar as having asthma. In February 2000, she finally got the correct diagnosis: She suffered from pulmonary hypertension.
A person with pulmonary hypertension has arteries leading to the lungs that have high blood pressure, causing the arteries to narrow and leaving less room for blood to flow. It can eventually lead to heart failure and, in some cases, death, according to the World Health Organization. About 500 to 1,000 cases are diagnosed each year in the United States, according to the American Heart Association.
A new study led by a University of Chicago Medicine professor has found that many people who suffer from pulmonary hypertension like Gaspar are misdiagnosed.
"I think we were not surprised by the general results," said Dr. Mardi Gomberg-Maitland, a cardiologist and director of the pulmonary hypertension program at the U. of C. Medicine. "We're seeing patients started on medications inappropriately ... Patients are often misclassified, and given the wrong diagnosis."
Gomberg-Maitland is the senior author of a study titled "The Referral of Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension Diagnoses to Tertiary Pulmonary Hypertension Centers" that was published online April 8 in the JAMA Internal Medicine journal.
The study examined the medical histories of 140 patients who were ultimately referred in 2010 and 2011 to pulmonary hypertension centers at the U. of C., the University of Michigan and the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. The researchers found that many of the patients had been misdiagnosed before they received the correct diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension.
"We're hoping that the paper shows that we need to improve educational efforts, and that we're a team. We want referrals early so that patients can live longer and feel better," Gomberg-Maitland said.
She recommends that doctors use catheterization, and calls right-heart catheterization "critical for the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension." Catheterization involves inserting a tube, known as a catheter, into a vein in the patient's neck or groin.
"The catheter is then threaded into your right ventricle and pulmonary artery," according to the Mayo Clinic's website. "Right-heart catheterization allows your doctor to directly measure the pressure in the main pulmonary arteries and right ventricle. It's also used to see what effect different medications may have on your pulmonary hypertension."
Gomberg-Maitland said she hopes "that the study alerts doctors that we're underusing catheterization."
"We're not doing all of the recommended procedures," she added. "If the recommended procedures are done, we think that patients would be given appropriate diagnoses and hopefully lead to appropriate care. If we don't do appropriate testing and don't make the right diagnosis, then that's where we're running into trouble."
Dr. Kim Kerr, clinical professor of medicine at the University of California at San Diego, called the study "well done." Kerr was not involved in the study.
Latest Health
The study "provides evidence that confirms the concerns (that) those of us who treat pulmonary hypertension have had for a long time," Kerr said. "Patients with and without pulmonary hypertension are being incompletely evaluated, misdiagnosed and not properly treated by community physicians. This supports the concept that patients with suspected pulmonary hypertension should be referred to centers with expertise in this disease for evaluation and co-management of their disease."
Gaspar, who was not a part of the study, now has a pump implanted beneath her skin that is regularly filled with the medication Remodulin through a needle to treat her pulmonary hypertension.
She adopted a daughter two years after her diagnosis. Although she still becomes winded when she climbs stairs, she leads what she calls "a relatively normal life."
"I feel blessed to be upright," Gaspar said.

eBay and the founders of Skype have ended lawsuits that threatened the Internet phone service's $2 billion spinoff.
That's good for just about everyone involved -- except for Mike Volpi, a Silicon Valley dealmaker who helped organize the deal in the first place.
Skype's founders, Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, are trading $83 million in cash and the Global Index technology that runs Skype -- technology that wasn't part of the deal when eBay bought Skype in 2005 for $2.6 billion -- for a 14 percent stake in the company and two board seats.
eBay will own 30 percent of the company, down from 35 percent, with the rest going to a syndicate of private investors which includes private equity fund Silver Lake Capital; a Canadian pension fund; and Andreessen Horowitz, a venture-capital firm. The deal values Skype
Not on the call: Index Ventures, a European venture-capital firm which was an early backer of Skype and which hired Volpi earlier this year and which was meant to regain a small stake in Skype. Index won't be an investor now.
Volpi, once a rising star at Cisco, had previously served as the CEO of Joost, an online-video startup also backed by Zennstrom and Friis which used the same Global Index technology as Skype.
After the Skype spinoff was unveiled earlier this year, Joost fired Volpi from his board seat on that company and sued him, alleging that he'd schemed to steal technological secrets about Global Index to the investor group. Zennstrom and Friis also sued eBay and the investors. Their lawyers reproduced embarrassing emails from Volpi to Danny Rimer, an Index Ventures partner, in which Volpi made impolitic comments about partners in the deal.
Volpi had reportedly hoped to become chairman of Skype after the buyout. With Zennstrom and Friis on the board, that seems unlikely.
In an interview with TechCrunch, Marc Andreessen, the cofounder of Netscape and partner at Andreessen Horowitz, dismissed the now-settled lawsuits as "deal drama" and called Skype, whose annual revenues are now estimated at $740 million, as "one of the most important companies on the Internet.

"As many Apple products, Quicktime is probably technologically ahead of most other competitors, but lacks the installed user base and third party software"
This doesn't seem like a relevant or particularly accurate comment about Quicktime, at least with respect to the context as a VR environment.
- Technologically many would argue it is not ahead of at least some. - What are its competitors, with respect to VR, that have a greater installed base? - Virtually all third-party panoramic software is as compatible with Quicktime (as a viewer for VR) as with any other player.
If this comment can't be clarified or defended I plan to remove it. Perhaps further clarification to better distinguish these comments about QT in general from QTVR specifically are in order?
Remove it. No problems....

Nothing ages you faster than stress. Have you ever noticed that you look older after a long bout with problems, either at home or at work?
Nothing ages you faster than stress.
Have you ever noticed that you look older after a long bout with problems, either at home or at work?
The word stress is so overused that it has become the definition for everything that doesn't go right. When I was a young woman, I never saw an article or even heard a discussion about holiday-season stress. I realize that the culture has become infused with multitasking and that many of those tasks were done in the past by women not in the work force.
Many explanations are given for the emergence of holiday stress, and I'm sure many of you are quite familiar with them. However, I am confused as to why year after year we have to be presented with those reasons and how to handle them. It's like talking about New England winters. They come, they go and they come again. If you still have yet to buy winter gear, you are someone who is living in an altered state.
Holiday stress is like a lot of other stress - much of it is self-imposed. Some situations don't fit that criteria, such as the memories of lost loved ones, financial difficulties or illnesses.
We can find many reasons why we think we need to do certain things around this time of year. But if we really thought about it rationally, becoming nuts about it simply doesn't ring true. I doubt if anyone on their deathbed spent their last few moments agonizing over a pie they forgot to make or a gift they didn't like.
It's unfortunate that so much of the holiday season has become consumer-driven. Not a day goes by without a report on retail sales and how they may or may not exceed last year's results.
Are we supposed to feel guilty if we don't beat the goals set by the myriad stores selling Christmas goodies? Will we be reported to the holiday police if we don't buy someone the right gift? What if I decide to change the expectations and react in a different way so some of the stress is reduced? Essentially that's what stress management is all about. Change how you think about something and magically the outcome changes.
So I suggest you give yourself the gift of serenity and inner peace by creating a realistic and joyful season. Do what you can and have enjoyment doing it. If you can't do anything, exchange smiles, good will and a sense of humor.
One of my mother's favorite quotes was "this to shall pass." Everything does sooner or later, so have fun. Fun is one of the few things that's free and it's contagious.

Download Free Windows Phone Quality Checklist
"How do you define 'quality'?" That was my question in one of my sessions to some great developers from Middle East & Africa region. "Simple Design", "Great functionality", "More options", "Bug Free" were some of many right answers that I got from the developers. I couldn't really debate most of the answers. They were right. However, not all simple design, or bug free apps are high quality apps. They are definitely super important but not necessarily the ultimate answer.
Digging deeper into the subject, I believe that the definition of Quality is highly subjective. Giving a great User Experience is a key player in boosting your app quality levels.
I developed the below tool Windows Phone Quality Checklist that you can use as a reference and a guide whenever you are developing your Windows Phone app that could boost the UX of the app and eventually help get more downloads and higher star rating.
The tool is a simple excel sheet that contains 3 sections:
- Required Features
- Should Have features
- Good to Have features
Here's how you can use it:
- Enter your App Name under App column,
- Skip the next 4 columns
- Give a value of 1 in the cell if you used the corresponding Feature as state in the column name
- You need to get a minimum of 5 required features. 2 Should Have features, and 1 Good to Have feature. If you find your app needs more features, that are not included, don't hesitate to make your own Checklist and add them .
- Once you fill the cells with the numbers, you will get a final score as shown in the below snap shot. And Golden star will show up in Star/Top App column indicating that your app is a Quality app.
Just a note: this tool's main use is for referral and guidance. You may use it to assess your developed apps or brainstorming the features you are planning to include in your app or build your own checklist with the help of this one.
You can download the tool from here .
Kindly share with your developers and community.
