With Women's day approaching, the 44th episode of 'Waah Waah Kya Baat Hai' features some of the talented poetesses of the country. The participants of the special episode are Sarojini Pritam, Sarita Sharma, Shabeena Adeeb, Devkaran Meghavanshi, Kavya Mishra (Chhupa Rustom) and Munawwar Rana who is the Sammanit Kavi.
Sarita Sharma, Shabeena Adeeb & Munawwar Rana presented some very good poems but without the usual dose of humour. Sarita Sharma recites a poem on female foeticide while Munawwar Rana's poem on 'Maa' is sure to touch the listeners' hearts. To lighten up the atmosphere, Sarojini Pritam, Devkaran Meghavanshi, Kavya Mishra provide some comic relief with their funny couplets. Do tune in to the episode that is sure to bring smile on your lips and tears in your eyes!
Anchored by Shailesh Lodha & Neha K. Mehta, 'Waah Waah Kyaa Baat Hai' is a humorous hourly weekend show. The concept of the show is loosely based on the old tradition of 'Haasya Kavi Sammelan'. Produced under the banner of 'Neela Telefilms' by Asit Kumarr Modi, the show is telecast every Saturday & Sunday at 10 Pm on SAB TV.
The program showcases many established poets tickling the funny bone of the viewers. Every week there is a theme such as Women, Children, Imagination, relationship, marriage to which participating poets base their creations. Another interesting segment is 'Chhupa Rustom' where unknown poets get to showcase their talents. But, the highlight of the show is the section that provides a platform for emerging poets called 'Aam aadmi ki kavitayein'.
"Today there is no platform to promote lyricists and poets. Writing and poetry are not given their due importance. Through this show we are trying to revive the interest in poetry, particularly in 'hansya kavita'," comments the producer Asit Kumarr Modi. Their other serial 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' has completed more than 1000 episodes.

Meet Dr. Stucky
Meet Dr. Stucky | Meet the Team | Office Tour | What Sets Us Apart? | Our Blog
Jay Stucky, DDS, PA
In my over 18 years of private practice experience, I can honestly say that I have remained committed to ensuring the highest quality treatment for each patient in a compassionate, caring environment. I understand that coming to a dentist is not easy and can produce feelings of anxiety and stress. This puts you between a rock and hard place when your teeth or jaw give you pain. My goal is to relieve pain and comfort you with a gentle touch while providing professional treatment that helps you achieve brilliant teeth for life. I believe that my work is life-changing.
Education and professional collaboration
I graduated from the University of Nebraska College of Dentistry and began working under my father in 1993. He helped teach me many things before retiring two years later after 34 years of providing quality dental care. I value the lessons he taught me and have been connected to the professional community my entire career. I do this through membership to the American Dental Association and Kansas Dental Association. Keeping a line of communication open with other professionals has been invaluable to my mission of providing my patients with the best care available.
In the office
I am committed to high standards and have great expectations for all my patients. I have a comprehensive approach to dentistry that creates an experience for you that is informative and comfortable. I will spend time explaining our diagnosis and treatment plan, thoroughly educating you of the particulars of our recommended procedure. I am always happy to spend time discussing and addressing any of your questions or concerns. You will be informed of how to evaluate the process and results. It is important to me that you give the OK to proceed with your treatment, and until you are comfortable, neither am I.
Outside the office
I came home to Kansas in 1986 to raise my three boys. This followed my time in military service as a US Marine. I still serve as a member of the US Army Reserve Dental Corps. At present, my family is the greatest blessing of my life.

Virtual history
Technology | The New York Public Library is making art accessible via the web
The New York Public Library on March 3 opened a virtual museum featuring 275,000 historic images ranging from Civil War photos to illuminated manuscripts. Rare items previously visible only to researchers are now open to the public.
The NYPL Digital Gallery, located at http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/, is set to reach 500,000 images in the coming months. Downloads are free for personal use, although the library charges for big, high-resolution graphics.
Curators selected items based upon several criteria, including scarcity, condition, and public demand. A few of the unique finds include thousands of restaurant menus from the 1850s to the 1920s, 1,500 classic theatrical photographs, and 5,000 animal illustrations that span four centuries. New York City history is a key part of the database, of course, and the site boasts tens of thousands of historic photographs of the Big Apple.
Archivists digitize each item with a high-resolution scanner, and then leave the resulting graphic essentially unaltered to preserve historic authenticity. Others then log catalog descriptions and keywords to enable searches. The entire collection sits on a 57-terabyte server network.
Even with its wonders unveiled to the world, the NYPL Digital Gallery represents only a fraction of the library's graphic treasures.
Power hungry
A new generation of PC technology will take prominence in the coming weeks when Microsoft releases a long-awaited version of Windows XP for 64-bit processors. The 64-bit chip can crunch more data at a time, providing better performance than today's 32-bit chips.
AMD rolled out the first 64-bit chips for PCs back in 2003 and Apple adopted them for the Power Mac G5 line last year. These chips can run standard 32-bit software, but work best with programs that take advantage of the extra power. But many initially complained that there was too little 64-bit software available to justify the added expense.
Intel, in fact, waited until last month to release a 64-bit chip for desktop PCs. (Intel is also trying to boost performance with dual-core chips, which means that processing power of two processors combines in one. This leads to slower chips that process more data while using less power.)
The arrival of XP for 64-bit processors should encourage developers to start writing software for the chips. It may also pressure PC owners to jump to a next-generation machine.
Bits & Megabytes
· Sony named former CBS executive Howard Stringer as its CEO last week, marking a rare example of a major Japanese company choosing a foreigner to run its affairs. The company is struggling with declining profits for its electronics and Mr. Stringer, a Welsh-born American, promises to help revive those operations. Despite its identity as one of Japan's powerhouses, only about a third of its workers and business are actually Japanese.
· Nokia dropped plans to develop mobile phones that run on new-generation fuel cells instead of traditional batteries, claiming the technology isn't ready yet. Fuel cells offer a useful boost, but they present logistical and regulatory issues, including the problem of carrying flammable materials in a handset. Other manufacturers are still developing such products for phones and PCs.
· Japanese developers late last month unveiled a facial recognition sensor for mobile phones and other handheld gadgets that lets them operate only for their owners. The security system, developed by the Kyoto-based Omron Corporation, works by having the user snap a headshot with a built-in digital camera. The user takes another picture when turning on the device, which the sensor compares with the original to identify the owner.

University of Texas Libraries Committee
The committee spent the 2009-10 academic year engaged in a concerted effort to understand the inner functioning of the University Libraries, including finances, budgetary constraints and planning, development, resource and staff allocation, and the logistics of purchasing, collating, processing, storing, and making accessible to the community the many resources of the University Libraries. To accomplish these goals, the committee posed at the beginning of the year a series of topical questions to the administrative staff of the Libraries, framed our meeting agendas around those questions, and targeted meetings to the exploration and elucidation of the topics. The committee met once per month in fall and spring semesters, elected to extend its monthly meetings to ninety minutes per meeting, and concentrated our attention by meeting in the conference rooms within PCL instead of following the traditional practice of visiting branch libraries across the campus.
In a year of actual and anticipated additional budget challenges, the committee attempted to position itself to function more effectively in its advisory capacity. The committee received an in-depth introduction to the complexities associated with the operation and management of the libraries. The sobering budget constraints under which the libraries must operate continue to be a concern for this committee, especially in light of the inflationary costs associated with academic publishing, and the increasing threat that the teaching and research missions of the University will be materially damaged as a result of budget cuts. At the end of the academic year, the committee members drafted a letter to the president outlining our concerns.
The goals of this committee for the upcoming academic year will be shaped in large part by the impact on the libraries of anticipated budget cuts.

Edited by Rabbi Jeffrey K. Salkin
6 x 9, 304 pp, Hardcover
Large Print edition also available from ReadHowYouWant.com
An indispensable resource for everyone who cares about the Jewish future.
"Every passage of Torah has the potential to be someone�s personal story and teaching�and that definitely includes you as a teenager. If you read these stories, and if you really let these holy texts into your mind and into your soul, your life will be deeper and richer, and even happier."
—from the Introduction
Young people need to be included in the struggle for meaning, for the right questions to ask and the search for useful and relevant answers. This is the book that has been missing from the ever-expanding bookshelf of Torah commentaries�a collection of messages on each Torah portion, specifically for today�s teens. It shows them how each Torah portion contains worlds of meaning for them, for what they are going through in their lives, and how they can shape their Jewish identity as they enter adulthood.
Addressing the concerns of young adults, it shows how the Torah can help teens deal with issues including:
This groundbreaking spiritual resource is truly transdenominational� including the insights of over 100 Jews who identify as Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, Reconstructionist, Renewal, post-denominational and �just Jewish.� They are rabbis, cantors, educators, authors and community leaders. Orthodox, Reconstructionist, Renewal, post-denominational and �just Jewish.� They are rabbis, cantors, educators, authors and community leaders.
"[A] rare find.... Uniformly excellent.... Show[s] how Judaism and the Torah remain relevant, even as technology and our metaphors for understanding the biblical text radically change over time."
—The Jewish Federation of Boome Country Reporter
"Thoughtful [and] profound.... Communicates Jewish values in a way that young people can relate to and learn from without sermonizing."
—Jewish Book Council
"Very accessible... Written with an intelligent teenager in mind.... A 'must' purchase for synagogues and schools."
—Association of Jewish Libraries
"Succeed[s] ... in not haranguing readers but rather encouraging them to follow the lesson of the passages.... Useful."
—Publishers Weekly
"Provocative questions.... Dozens of issues raised in these relevant messages that give answers to teens about matters that concern them."
—The Jewish Eye
"The struggle for meaning, for the right questions to ask and the search for useful and relevant answers is everyone's work, but for teens and young adults it may be particularly daunting.... Contain[s] a method of making Torah meaningful, of relating to and perhaps owning the wisdom it contains."

SOMETHING IN THE AIR: China's cities have a smog problem, but the Government is tackling it with drones that disperse fog and smog by releasing a chemical catalyst. The parafoil plane features a gliding parachute, and can carry 3 times the cargo weight of common planes. Fog, smog, and now unnamed chemicals.
POLES APART: You've been in hospital and are feeling well enough to get up, but are still attached to an IV drip. At the moment you have to drag around a stand to hold the drip. The Mobiu Corporation has developed a wearable pole that should be more convenient. The EZPole is attached to a shoulder harness with a strap that goes across the body. A pad is buckled onto one shoulder and the pole is mounted to that. The EZPole leaves the wearer's hands free and allows for greater mobility, such as being able to use the stairs. Handy.
A ROUGH PICTURE: Fujitsu have a prototype haptic sensory tablet whose touchscreen conveys a sense of slipperiness or roughness depending on the image being displayed. The tablet uses ultrasonic vibrations to convey tactile sensations by varying the friction between the touchscreen display and the user's finger. The ultrasonic vibration creates a high-pressure layer of air between the screen's surface and the fingertip, reducing friction and creating a floating effect. Meanwhile, rapidly cycling between high and low friction generates a tactile illusion that the screen is bumpy or rough. One day we may be able to feel images on screen, which could be very interesting in movies.
BIG PRINT: 3D printing can be rather slow, and generally the printed objects are also fairly small. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory wants to change that with a large-scale polymer additive manufacturing system they're working on. Their aim is for their system to be 200 to 500 times faster and capable of printing polymer components 10 times larger than today's common additive machines. So far all they have is an agreement with a manufacturer of high quality machine tools. Let's hope it's not too long before they have a product that works.
HEALTH ON THE GO: People in remote spots, such as astronauts in space for example, could benefit from the Astroskin smart shirt currently being tested by the Canadian Space Agency. The WiFi equipped shirt is packed with sensors that monitor blood pressure, skin temperature, activity, blood oxygen levels, heart rate and breathing rate. The data helps monitor the health of the wearer in real time. Once testing on the ground is complete the shirt could be used in future space missions or perhaps in remote communities. It should be more comfortable than the half dozen bits of equipment it replaces.

Skyrim and "Twisty Little Passages Almost All Alike"
I found article, "Twisty Little Passages Almost All Alike: Applying the FRBR Model to a Classic Computer Game," by Jerome McDonough, Matthew Kirschenbaum, Doug Reside, Neil Fraistat, and Dennis Jerz, very interesting. The writers' difficulties applying this descriptive practice to video games, is reminiscent of our discussion in class about the problems documenting memes. Because of the vast quantity and anonymous, viral nature of memes, they are inherently difficult to definitively quantify and index. Many video games that have come out in the last few years have similar attributes. While the writers discussed games such as ADVENTURE and Doom, newer games, such as the 2011 release, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, present even more complex problems when considered from through the FRBR Model.
Skyrim is a massive open world role-playing game that takes place in a faux-Medieval land with the typical fantastic cast of dragons, trolls, elves, and the like. With over 100 hours of quests and missions, and an amazingly vast world to explore, Skyrim is wildly popular and quite revolutionary. A consequence, however, is a staggering number of glitches, ranging from quests that become impossible to complete because the player performed them in the wrong order, to flying mammoths.
McDonough, Kirschenbaum, Reside, Fraistat, and Jerz discuss the problems of different versions of ADVENTURE being grouped under a single, "Work," as "Expressions." The creators of Skyrim, have released numerous versions of the game, in the form of software patches that console and PC owners download. Currently on patch 1.8, the Skyrim wikia keeps an archive of sorts explaining the many different versions and what they include (http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Patch). While this is similar to the description of ADVENTURE, Skyrim has the added element of fan-made patches and mods. A number of skilled Skyrim enthusiasts got together and made their own ultimate patch that is continually updated based on player requests. How would a fan-made alteration to Skyrim be categorized, is it a completely different "Work" or merely an "Expression" of Bethesda's vision?
In addition to the fan-made patch, there are also thousands of fan-made mods to Skyrim. The writers of the article described the "modding" culture surrounding Doom, mostly as proof that the version of the game that players were using was important to them. Skyrim, too, has a significant following of users that create modifications to the game, in this case that anyone else can download. Mods range from trivial changes such as replacing your traditional mount with a demonic skeleton steed to an extremely well-produced mod that adds cinematic lighting to the entire game.
The mods for Skyrim number in the thousands, and are rated and reviewed by a number of sources such as PC Gamer and UGO. This customization is a critical part of the Skyrim legacy, but, similarly to memes, they will prove to be difficult to archive and index in relation to the game itself. I would like to know what the legacy of video games will be, as the consoles and operating systems that they were created to run become obsolete.

ImmunoVEXHSV2, an investigational vaccine against genital herpes developed by BioVex Inc, is undergoing first-in-man clinical studies.
ImmunoVEXHSV2 is based on an engineered form of the causative agent of genital herpes, HSV-2, from which genes that collectively interfere with the functions of immune system have been deleted. The proteins encoded by these genes aid wild type HSV-2 in evading the body's immune system.
ImmunoVEXHSV2 expresses all but four of the approximately 80 HSV-2 proteins, maximizing the breadth of the anti-HSV immune response generated, but without the genes encoding for these immune-inhibiting proteins.
ImmunoVEXHSV2 has been evaluated in the industry-standard preclinical model of genital herpes, in which it completely prevented disease, suggesting that ImmunoVEXHSV2 may be more potent in humans than other HSV-2 vaccines for which published data is available.
The vaccine also considerably reduced the level of viral shedding following exposure, which if this translates to the clinical setting, may also reduce any window of infectivity from an infected individual.
The first subject had been dosed in the Phase 1 study of its live attenuated genital herpes vaccine, ImmunoVEXHSV2, BioVex Inc announced.
The Phase 1, open label trial to assess safety and immune response to ImmunoVEXHSV2 in healthy volunteers, is taking place in the UK at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London and will involve up to 42 already identified subjects.
"Developing an effective vaccine against genital herpes has historically proved challenging. ImmunoVEX is a rationally designed live attenuated vaccine specifically constructed to address the limitations of previous vaccines," stated Dr. Robert Coffin, Founder & CTO for BioVex in a press release.
At least 45 million people over the age of 11 in the United States have been infected with HSV-2, the causative agent of genital herpes, the rate of infection having increased approximately 30% between the late 1970s and the early 1990s, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In addition to genital lesions, patients with compromised immune systems may experience more severe, systemic complications, including in some cases cystitis, urethritis, cervicitis and meningitis.
According to research reported in Biomed Central's journal BMC Infectious Diseases, the economic burden of genital HSV infection and resulting complications has been estimated to be greater than $1 billion annually in the United States alone.
BioVex is a privately held biotechnology company based in Woburn, Mass. where it also has an operational launch grade manufacturing facility. The Company is developing a new class of biologics for the treatment of cancer and prevention of infectious disease.
The company's lead product, OncoVEXGM-CSF is a first in class oncolytic vaccine. OncoVEXGM-CSF replicates selectively in tumors; destroying cancer cells whist leaving surrounding healthy cells unharmed. OncoVEXGM-CSF is also intended to induce a powerful immune response to kill cancer cells throughout the body.

Finding a miracle in America
INDIANAPOLIS—Congo refugee Emmanuel Musinga almost got killed by militia from another tribe in a civil war because he was from the wrong tribe in Africa.
America seemed to be a dream come true when he first arrived here in 2010. Musinga didn't wear shoes growing up on a farm in the mountains of eastern Congo and walked 2 miles to get water for his family. He saw his country torn apart by civil war.
In America, Musinga could wear shoes, ride a bus, and buy food in a store. "It was a big shock," he recalled of his arrival in Rock Island, Ill., then Indianapolis. "It was my first time to have a bathroom in the house. It was a miracle to me."
Musinga sings America's praises more than most Americans. "If you are born in a family or country, you think it is normal," he noted. "But don't take America for granted."
Working at Walmart and at a factory, Musinga might have forgotten his war-torn country and just taken care of his wife Clementine and his growing family.
Instead he's found a new calling, helping a small but growing group of Congolese refugees in Indianapolis. Like Musinga, many have legal status as refugees from the civil war, and Musinga helps them with everything from a job search to improving their English through English-as-a-second-language training. He works part time for the Exodus Refugee Immigration organization and has started a small church, Grace Tabernacle Ministry.
Carleen Miller, director of Exodus Refugee, admires how Musinga goes beyond immediate assignments. "Despite all the suffering he's been through, he's always looking for a way to help others, " she said. "But he looks for ways to help them succeed, on their own, to empower them. He's not just giving and giving."
Musinga grew up in the eastern mountains of the Congo, near the border with Rwanda, farming with his parents, as the fifth of nine children. He and his brothers and sisters would take turns farming, or walking several miles to school.
"I remember in my village, the first guy who got his high school diploma at a school far away—it was a big celebration," Musinga recalled. "We killed a goat. It was a big miracle."
In the 1990s, though, civil wars broke out in the Congo and neighboring Rwanda, both tribal conflicts and contests for political power. Musinga became a target of a militia attack and was shot in the leg by a militia group. He was taken to Rwanda for treatment after turning down a proposed leg amputation in the Congo. From there he went to Kenya, where he started to learn English and was granted refugee status in the United States along with his wife.
His father was a pastor and a farmer, and Musinga had grown up hearing the gospel, coming to his own commitment to Christ. A turning point came when he heard a message about his need to forgive— Musinga had not been in any mood to forgive the militia members who tried to kill him.
But a preacher challenged that assumption. "Some Christians," Musinga said, 'they preach the Bible, but they still do not forgive. They still have revenge in their hearts."
Musinga realized he was guilty and repented of not forgiving those who had shot at him. His prayer: "God, give me love to love other people—to love anyone, even those people who shot me, those people we fight, those who say we are not Congolese. I want to love them."
The step toward forgiveness lifted a load. "When I wanted revenge," Musinga said, "I was carrying a burden."
Now, as a pastor, with three young children, Musinga is also a social worker, providing transportation, translation, and guidance for refugees. He estimates that approximately 100 Congolese refugees live in Indianapolis. "I want my people to be self-sufficient," Musinga said.
Historically, missionaries have headed to foreign lands with the gospel. Now refugees are coming to America and, in the case of Musinga, they take the gospel to other refugees coming from circumstances similar to theirs.
Musinga said he would like to write up his story at some point, under the title, "The Same One, but Different."
"I was born in the bush," he said. "Now I have shoes and I can drive and talk English."
Emmanuel Musinga sees his life as a miracle, but he's the same person.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration says a statement from the Egyptian presidency is not enough to ease concerns about anti-Jewish and anti-Israel comments that Mohammed Morsi made before he took office.
The statement from Morsi's office rejects discrimination and incitement to violence based on religion.
The State Department calls the statement, quote, "an important first step," but says the U.S. continues to look for him and other Egyptian leaders to demonstrate a commitment to religious tolerance and Egypt's peace treaty with Israel.
Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland would not say Thursday if Washington wants a personal repudiation from Morsi. But she made clear the U.S. needs more convincing that he no longer holds to remarks in 2010 in which he urged hatred of Jews and called Zionists "pigs" and "bloodsuckers."

Betty Ann's Story
After having a successful trip last year to San Vincente de Paul Orphanage, in Quito, Ecuador I decided to return again. Over the past year I had kept in contact with Sister Rosa at Casa 5, and also one of the l5 year old orphans, Gabby. A retired school teacher and friend, Jima Severson, accompanied me on this trip. We arrived in Quito the evening of September l0, 200l. As you can imagine the disaster that hit the States September 11, brought a new dimension to our trip.
When we arrived at the orphanage it was lunchtime. I opened up the door to Casa 5 and to my delight the children looked up and smiles broke out, they jumped up yelling Betty, Betty!! It brought tears to my eyes. Even little Marco who was 2 l/2 last year remembered me. It was so heart warming. We were delighted to find two l9 year old volunteer girls from England living in Casa 5. We had brought over with us clothes, toys, school supplies and diapers for the children. Of course the gifts were received with gratitude and smiles.
This year I was able to rent a bus and take l6 of the children to see the movie Shrek. We had a ball. You should have seen their eyes when we showed up with the bus! We took up the entire front row of the show house. We had children from 3 years up to l8 years. Not one of them moved a muscle during the show. I had quite a time getting the Ecuadorians at the show to give me l6 pops and l6 popcorns...ha.
Back at Casa 5 Sister Rosa informed me they were in need of bed frames. Their mattresses lay on cross wood which were broken and the mattresses were sinking. I gave Sister Rosa $400 for supplies and other things they needed. We also purchased $300 worth of school supplies for the entire orphanage.
Jima and I shared our time with the nursery. There were about 35 babies in the nursery. I was also pleasantly surprised to find several other volunteers there from the States from the Church of Jesus Christ, which happens to be my church. We held babies, played with babies, and CHANGED babies! They are never all dry at once. They are beautiful children. Through some friends of my son we were able to go shopping and purchase several rocking chairs for the nursery and two small ones for Casa 5. Through my son's newsletter and letters to the editor I had $l300 donated to help with their needs.
The stories of these children are heart rendering. One of the beautiful little girls had been thrown away in the garbage only to be found by a little 5 year old that thought it was a puppy moving. The Sisters that care for these children are kind and angels of God to give their life to the caring of these orphans.
I am sure I will go back. I am not sure exactly when as Brian is getting married this year. The children at the orphanage seem to be my children now and I will always want to see that they receive help. If any of you are making a trip to Quito please contact me if you are willing to take some items over for the children or to make a donation to them. We have wonderful friends there that will take you to the orphanage to meet the children or to just gather your items you take over there. I see no boundaries when it involves children.

Samsung to launch a 1.4 GHz Galaxy S II in September?
A particularly juicy rumor has it that Samsung is preparing an updated version of its Samsung Galaxy S II flagship with a 1.4 GHz dual-core processor. The upgrade could either be delivered with the NFC-capable version of the company flagship or in a completely new smartphone.
Word is Samsung is preparing an updated version of its Exynos SoC. It will reportedly retain the same GPU (Mali-400MP) and RAM amount (1GB), but it will boost the processor speed by 200 MHz to 1.4 GHz. Samsung has done that once, upping the Galaxy S II CPU frequency right before its market release.
The more interesting question is whether we'll see the new SoC in an updated version of the Galaxy S II, such as the upcoming NFC edition, or it is going to launch within a completely new device.
According to the source Samsung is making the update so its flagship will be able to compete even more successfully with the iPhone 5, when it gets announced (reportedly this September). We'll hopefully see how things turn out after a couple of months.

Our experts use the most cutting edge technology to treat patients and monitor conditions. We use the following technologies to accurately make critical decisions about the best care options for our patients:
Bod Pod
The Bod Pod is an egg shaped machine that uses air pressure to determine body mass index (BMI). Patients receive a BMI full body diagnostic test which measures body fat and lean muscle. The Bod Pod is used primarily for diabetic patients who are trying to lose weight to get their diabetes under control. For more information about the Bod Pod, please view links below:
The Dexa Scanner is used for bone loss detection and in monitoring the progress of bone strengthening therapies. Bone density can be determined for patients who are suspected to have bone loss or osteoporosis. Fluctuations in hormonal balance can warrant such effects on the bones. In the field of Endocrinology, hormonal balance can be effected by many disorders involving the body's endocrine system such as diabetes, disorders of the thyroid, adrenal glands, pituitary gland and both male and female reproductive glands. There are many medications available to help counteract hormonal imbalances and stabilize or increase the bone mineral density within the body.
Ultrasound Machine
The ultrasound machine used to see nodules on the thyroid and to determine whether or not a patient has hypo or hyper thyroid. The ultrasound machine can do a biopsy of the thyroid if there are any nodules to make sure they aren't cancerous.
Electrocardiogram (EKG)
For patients with diabetes, obesity is a major concern. The EKG can monitor potential heart problems, and can be used to diagnose the need for a patient to see a cardiologist.

An Odessa man has died after a one-vehicle Pasco County accident.
Wayne Carroll Franke, 58, might have had a medical emergency before he lost control of his vehicle, the Florida Highway Patrol said. The patrol said he died at Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point Friday morning.
Franke was traveling north on Suncoast Parkway, about one mile south of State Road 52, the highway patrol said.
Troopers said he lost control of his Ford pickup. His truck moved northeast off the roadway, colliding with a fence and stopping in an adjacent tree line, the highway patrol said.
The patrol said Franke's relatives have been notified.

Rugged mobile devices facing tough times
Rugged mobile devices are essential for difficult work environments, such as manufacturing plants, oil and gas rigs or military battlefields. But rugged devices are facing increasing pressure from consumer-grade devices, which are gaining greater acceptance among mobile field workers.
As a result, the rugged mobile device market, which includes notebooks, tablets, handheld computers and forklift terminals, contracted by 6.1 percent last year, dropping to $4.1 billion, according to the latest stats from VDC Research.
Bucking the downward trend, the rugged tablet segment increased 22 percent year-over-year in 2013, growth that is expected to continue this year. In addition, greater availability of rugged Android devices along with first-generation rugged Windows 8.1 embedded handheld devices will create increased opportunities this year, judges VDC.
"The rugged mobile market is expected to continue to stabilize in 2014 and provide moderate to strong growth opportunities. We expect a stronger retail segment and improvements to investments in North America, which has recently lagged EMEA [Europe, Middle East and Africa] in performance," states Kathryn Nassberg, an analyst for VDC.
One sector that has long used rugged mobile devices is transportation/logistics, particularly purpose-built handheld devices. "The gadget with which the local courier takes your signature is evidence of that; the ability to track goods from their point of origin to the point of delivery provides security, dependability and convenience," comments Darryn Smith, Toughbook and mobility channel manager at rugged device distributor Comworth.
"Transportation and logistics managers are in the business of moving people and cargo quickly and accurately. By introducing flexible and capable rugged mobile devices, which include GPS, RFID, and barcode scanners, and which are resistant to spills, vibrations, shocks, and extreme temperature, a new opportunity exists for further improving productivity and performance," Smith concludes.

Last night, Rihanna gave an electrifying performance as the opening act at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards.
The Bajan songstress set off the performance with some choreographed moves to the tune of "Cockiness," a cut from her last album Talk That Talk. Halfway through the song, she flipped to the remix, bringing out A$AP Rocky to deliver his verse from the track.
Ri Ri then transitioned into her hit "We Found Love," heading into the audience to sing the song while surrounded by the crowd. Making her way back to the stage, she introduced the song's producer Calvin Harris, who manned the turntables for the performance.
Watch the clip below.

We are the ones we were waiting for
Remember that great youth movement for Obama — the young supporters, first-time voters, mostly college kids? Well, they fucked up! They trusted him! "Obama's Balloon: Federal Student Loan Debt Up 517% in 5 Years":
Since President Barack Obama took office in January 2009, the cumulative outstanding balance on federal direct student loans has jumped 517.4 percent.
The balance owed as of the end of May was $739,641,000,000.00. That is an increase of $619,838,000,000.00 from the balance that was owed as of the end of January 2009, when it was $119,803,000,000.00, according to the Monthly Treasury Statement.
Earlier this month, Obama announced new executive actions to allow five million student-loan borrowers to cap their monthly payments at 10% of their income, according to the White House.
"Now, I've made it clear that I want to work with Congress on this issue. Unfortunately, a generation of young people can't afford to wait for Congress to get going," Obama said. "In this year of action, wherever I've seen ways I can act on my own to expand opportunity to more Americans, I have. And today, I'm going to take three actions to help more young people pay off their student loan debt."
Oh, joy! The benevolent dictator who oversaw the explosion of student loan enslavement while orchestrating the takeover of the student loan industry and nationalizing it is going to help the little people! Blessed be the One!
According to the White House, "The President will direct the Secretary of Education to ensure that student loans remain affordable for all who borrowed federal direct loans as students by allowing them to cap their payments at 10 percent of their monthly incomes. The Department will begin the process to amend its regulations this fall with a goal of making the new plan available to borrowers by December 2015."
During President George W. Bush's time in office, the amount of outstanding loans increased from $67,979,000,000.00 in January of 2001 to $119,803,000,000 in January of 2009, an increase of 76.2%. This means that under President Obama, the amount of federal direct student loans increased 579% more than under President Bush.
Which, of course, is Bush's fault.
Anyway, for those keeping score at home, the Man of the People has overseen the fall of median incomes; the explosion of welfare recipients, a dramatic increase in the price of goods and energy; and an increasing rate of poverty. The champion of women in the War on Women has decreased the number of women in the workplace, and engaged in income disparity between the men and women in his own administration, with men earning more than women. The black-like-us President has presided over soaring unemployment among blacks, especially young blacks, and his myopic and economically illiterate insistence on minimum wage increases will create of young urbanized blacks a condition of permanent government clientism — that is, a new form of Democrat-created slavery. And now we see that he's working on enslaving the future bourgeois by saddling them with student loans — while never once asking why the cost of a university education is so enormous as to be outrageous.
Sometimes you need to be careful what you ask for. Because as every con man will tell you, it's your own greed that s/he is targeting — indeed, relying upon — to make sure you're rolled.
Unfortunately, the useful idiots who voted for this guy sucked us all along for the ride.

Lord of the Flies (1990) Movie Review
With 'sharply expressive performances (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) by its young cast, this stunning adventure explores the deep dark corners of the human soul, as a group of adolescent castaways are thrust into an intense world where law and accountability are governed by the rules of survival. After a harrowing plane crash into the sea, a group of American military cadets finds itselfmarooned on a deserted island. Realizing the minimal chances of being rescued, the boys band together out of fear and desperation. But as the island paradise becomes their own, competition and power struggles split them into two packs. Ralph (Bathazar Getty) leads one group and preaches civilized ingenuity and togetherness, but Jack (Chris Furrh) wants nothing of it and builds a faction of barbaric hunters who ultimately go to war with Ralph. This powerful shift in conscience transforms ordinary kids into primal killers, setting off a devastating battle of good versus evil and presenting a haunting metaphor for the savage in us all.

A Real Cause of Infertility and Miscarriage has been Identified
While there are few things more joyous than bringing a healthy new life into the world, there conversely may be nothing more devastating than continuing infertility problems or losing a child through miscarriage. Underweight infants or those suffering from poor health are a source of stress to the family while similarly, new mothers suffering from poor health subsequent to giving birth, are also a large strain on the family unit.
One key factor in reproductive and fertility issues is gluten intolerance. It's rather well known in the literature but until it becomes standard to evaluate for celiac and gluten sensitivity in those suffering from infertility, delayed menstruation, poor outcomes of pregnancy, and the like, then it definitely bears repeating that these problems have a strong gluten association.
An article in the World Journal of Gastroenterology entitled "Reproductive Changes Associated with Celiac Disease". It's excellent and brings up some very key issues that should be known by all medical practitioners, not simply obstetricians and fertility experts.
Men's Fertility is Affected as well
Men are not excluded from this scenario. Twenty percent of married celiacs having infertile marriages and semen analysis reveals abnormalities in sperm shape as well as motility in affected men. But there's good news in the fact that removal of gluten from the diet improved sperm morphology. Similarly, hormonal imbalances found in male celiacs also normalized on a gluten-free diet.
Fertility Problems could be the first indication of Gluten Intolerance
Many gluten intolerant women afflicted with fertility problems did not present with the "classic" digestive complaints associated with celiac disease but were more apt to suffer with fatigue and anemia. Often they had no digestive complaints whatsoever.
The authors show that fertility problems could very well indicate early autoimmune changes, a serious hallmark of gluten intolerance. Hundreds of women from Finland, Italy and Israel suffering from infertility were found to be afflicted with celiac disease at a rate of 2.7%, 3.03% and 2.65% respectively. The testing methods utilized were strictly those for celiac disease including EMA, tTG and a positive small bowel biopsy. I would wager that if they had included testing such as deamidated gliadin and anti-gliadin antibodies, they would have identified those women suffering from gluten sensitivity as well.
Imagine if every young woman with a delayed onset of her menstrual cycle or amenorrhea (no menstrual cycle) was tested for gluten intolerance. How much healthier and happier (remember that balanced hormones help to dictate balanced mood) could such women be? Imagine if women suffering from miscarriages could improve their outcome of a full term healthy baby by removing gluten from their diet. Now that is a recipe for happiness!
A Gluten Free Diet Actually Reverses Infertility
While it is quite well established that celiacs suffer from infertility, an increased incidence of stillbirths, and perinatal (around the time of birth) deaths, the good news is that once they receive a diagnosis of celiac disease and begin a gluten-free diet, some markers of infertility (e.g. miscarriage rates) may be corrected.
The rate of cesarean delivery increased amongst celiac parents, according to a recent German study. Should all birth centers screen their mothers for celiac disease and gluten sensitivity? Pregnant women certainly get screened for other diseases that are far less common. Considering the outcome of pregnancy with a diagnosed celiac vs. an undiagnosed one, it may very well prove to be an excellent change in protocol.
Pregnancy Itself Can 'Turn on' Celiac Disease
Pregnancy can be a factor that "turns on" celiac disease in previously non-celiac women. There are those that believe the dramatic change in the probiotic population of a woman's intestines during pregnancy is enough to cause the induction of gluten intolerant genes, thereby leading to active celiac disease.
Others note that the first pregnancy may not be a problem and it's not until the stress of a subsequent pregnancy that celiac is initiated. We see this clinically amongst our patients and have programs that are designed to normalize not only the digestive tract but the endocrine system (hormonal balance), so as to prevent subsequent pregnancies from creating undue stress on the mother's body.
Please share this information with your friends and family. Imagine the joy of overcoming infertility or a tendency to miscarry simply by eliminating gluten from your diet. As a clinical nutritionist well versed in gluten intolerance, I am always delighted when such a happy event occurs. It is certainly well worth discovering if you or someone you care about falls into this category of gluten intolerance. Contact me with your comments and questions.

Despite the finance ministry's insistence on a shift to 100% export parity pricing to determine the under-recoveries of oil marketing companies (OMCs), the Kirit Parikh committee on pricing of diesel and cooking fuel is unlikely to endorse this model. A better option would be to move in a phased manner to a market-determined mechanism for pricing of petroleum products, the committee feels.
It reckons that export-parity model as opposed to the extant trade-parity price based on 4:1 ratio of the landed cost of imports and the export price in case of diesel and 100% import parity in case of LPG and kerosene might not yield any big savings to warrant such a policy change.
According to sources, the Parikh committee, which finalised its views at a meeting here last week, came around the view that the existing pricing mechanism could be replaced by the market-linked mechanism in a phased manner. It may also propose an immediate hike of R4 per litre for diesel, followed by monthly hikes of R1 till the under-recovery on the fuel is eliminated.
At present, the under-recovery on diesel is over R10 a litre. In line with the ongoing deregulation of diesel, which accounted for 60% of the under-recoveries at around R1 lakh crore last year, the price of the fuel has been revised by 50 paise a month on nine occasions since January 2013. The under-recovery level, however, is just R2 per litre less than the level in January owing to the weak rupee and high crude oil prices.
In the case of LPG and kerosene, the panel is likely to recommend a phased move to market prices in the next two-three years through periodic increase in prices.
This could be in the form of Rs 2 per litre hikes in kerosene and Rs 100-per-cylinder hike in LPG to begin with.
The final report of the panel is expected to be released later this month.
Under the proposed export parity system, the refinery-gate price of products due to OMCs would have to be arrived at as an average of export (FOB) prices of these product in select markets. The difference between the price realised by OMCs they sell below cost in the subsidy regime and the export price determined will be the under-recoveries, compensated through subsidy. While the export and import prices dont vary too much, the

Almost all of the contributors to the book on mental retardation are colleagues of Dr. Griffith from Birmingham, England. Fortunately, the biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors in mental retardation are not treated in a parochial manner. However, the chapters on community services and hospital services describe only the British provisions for health, education, and social services and, therefore, have limited value to people living outside the United Kingdom.
As with many books in which an attempt is made to ensure that all the aspects of mental retardation are covered, the end product frequently gives one the impression that a dilettante has been the author. The editor, in his introduction, admits to this and blames it on the size of the book (227 pages). Developmental screening, biochemical screening, comprehensive assessment, malformation syndromes, blindness and deafness, motor disability, communication disorders, and epilepsy and genetic counseling are some of the areas covered.

Considering weather and traffic, what is the best time of year to do this ride? The changing leaves in the fall sound great but I imagine the traffic is pretty heavy then, so I am thinking that May or June might be nice.
Since my leave is limited this year it might be a good year for a shortish 7-9 day ride like this. It has the added benefit of not being too far from home. We rode a short bit of the BRP while doing the TransAmerica last summer and thought it looked like great riding.

Hunting the Blue Dogs
Politics | Liberal groups plan to campaign against conservative Democrats who have concerns about President Obama's budget
WASHINGTON-Capitol Hill has its own version of March Madness: negotiating a budget. Some Democrats in the Senate are upset about provisions like climate-change legislation that may be tacked on, bypassing the regular process. Now some liberal groups are taking these Blue Dog Democrats to task for it.
USAction, a self-described "progressive coalition," announced Tuesday it will be launching campaigns targeting certain Blue Dogs, who the organization's President William McNary labeled "obstructionist" to "change," and "unwitting accomplices" to "special interests." Partnering with Campaign for America's Future, the coalition's leaders believe media efforts and on-the-ground campaigning in these senators' respective states will pressure lawmakers to support the president's budget.
Sen. Evan Bayh, a Democrat targeted by the coalition, announced last week that he and 14 others from his party have formed a caucus to promote fiscal responsibility-a group essentially parallel to the House of Representative's Blue Dogs, who have the same mission (see "Bayh's Blue Dogs"). Bayh was one of three Democrats who voted against the omnibus spending bill that passed just two weeks ago-foreshadowing dissensions within the Democratic Party that now are emerging. Democratic leadership and the White House are using conciliatory language toward the renegade moderates-not the kind of language the liberal groups are using.
"New ventures like this group offer us a new opportunity to get things done and I support every effort that puts real solutions above political posturing," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in a statement about the Blue Dogs.
Eight Democrats were critical of a legislative maneuver that could allow the budget to pass with what they see as unsavory additions-like a cap-and-trade system that would tax energy companies emitting excessive levels of carbon and pass utility costs on to consumers.
Said Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., on Tuesday, "It'll be a no go for me" because of the taxes imposed on the domestic oil and gas industry.
Robert Borosage, director of Campaign for America's Future, said moderate Democrats should be looking out for their own self-interest, in terms of their upcoming bids for reelection, by supporting the president's agenda.
"The president's program and the reforms he's calling for are so popular," he said.
Still, many of the moderate senators have conservative constituents that they go home to and don't want to vote for a bill that substantially grows federal red ink. The liberal groups say senators like Bayh are captive to special interests, not constituents.
Borosage defined special interests as "the oil companies and the coal companies, the insurance companies, the drug companies. . . . Their ox is gored in this budget. They're mobilizing to stop the changes and reforms that we need."
Liberal blogger Jane Hamsher, who is working as part of the media campaign against the Blue Dogs, said Bayh is caving to the special interests of local Indiana banks. But aren't some of those "special interests" also constituents?
"The thing that keeps me up at night is not public backlash on the poor banks," she said.
Congress is working out the details of the budget this week and next. Numbers released last week from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office show that President Obama's budget would increase the national deficit to $9.3 trillion over the next 10 years, a main concern to the Blue Dogs.

The Enemy Within
60 minutes
Five years after the attacks on 9/11 and the massive, multibillion-dollar reorganization of government agencies which followed, FRONTLINE and New York Times reporter Lowell Bergman investigates the domestic counterterrorism effort and asks whether we are any better prepared to prevent another catastrophic attack. Relying on interviews with high-level sources in the U. S. government, Bergman looks into the major cases brought inside the United States and reveals troubling flaws in what has been the largest reorganization of the government in half a century. The documentary focuses on who is the real enemy within the United States and whether we are prepared to defeat him.

Supernaturally Blessed Baby
Perhaps the most genetically blessed baby since Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had their twins came into the world tonight when Genevieve and Jared Padalecki became parents to a baby boy. He was born a few days after his due date, but today happens to be/would be my dad's birthday. My mom is Jared and Gen's biggest fans, first seeing them on TV, but more so after she met them last year, so I'm sure she'll find the coincidence a heart-warming one and adore this couple more than she already does.
After she met them she said, "I like them so much because you can see how much they love each other, they have that rare, special kind of love your dad and I had."
And now, my mom will probably spoil that kid like the grandchild my sister and I haven't given her yet…She already knit them this blank for Gen's baby shower!
Congratulations, Mozel Tov, Gefeliciteerd, Felicitazioni, Felicidades, a million congratulations in every language. Wishing you the best of health and happiness. Love you!
PS: In lieu of gifts, if you would like to help bring Gen and Jared a smile by helping a child in honor of Baby Padalecki, donate here to St. Jude!

I am having trouble grasping how to filter embedded documents in MongoDB, and am starting to think I should be using a relational association, but that feels wrong in the document-store context.
Sticking with a typical blog/comment system, I have a collection of
blogs, and each
blog has many
comments. The comments are stored as embedded documents inside the blog document.
It is very simple to filter my
blogs collection, but in order to filter my
comments embedded in each
blog, I am having to load them all into memory (retrieve all into a Ruby array), and loop through each comment, returning ones that match a specific criteria.
My efforts to filter embedded documents using dot notation is failing, and bringing back all sub documents.
Is there a better way of getting MongoDB to filter these for me, or should I resign myself to relational associations? (Pulling back all embedded documents and manually filtering is going to be too intensive in the long run)

Hi all,
I created my app in my AndroidPIT developer page, uploaded the APK (with AndroidPIT licensing added in) and it synced correctly with our Google Play page to get the description and details.
However, when I click the link for the active app, I get a 404:
It has been 4 days now and still the app is not visible live. Is there something I need to do to push it live? Or is this a bug?

Books for Boys: Grades 6-8
"I guess it does
look like a poem
when you see it
typed up
like that."
When Lonnie was seven years old, his parents died in a fire. Now he's eleven, and he still misses them terribly. And he misses his little sister, Lili, who was put into a different foster home because "not a lot of people want boys —not foster boys that ain't babies."
In 1838, a seventeen-year-old slave boy named Stephen Bishop was trained to be a tour guide for Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. Adventurous and bold, Stephen explored the cave in his time off and made many discoveries that attracted more and more people to the famous cave.
Series Information
Michael Arroyo has a pitching arm that throws serious heat. But his firepower is nothing compared to the heat Michael faces in his day-to-day life. Newly orphaned after his father led the family's escape from Cuba, Michael's only family is his seventeen-year-old brother Carlos.
Millions adore him. A philanthropist. Anti-drug crusader. Peace activist. And former pop star the likes of which the world has never seen. Sir Damian Cray even has the president's ear. Yet the president's ear is not enough for Damian. He wants more. Such as the president's fingerprints.
The bar code tattoo. Everybody's getting it. It will make your life easier, they say. It will hook you in. It will become your identity.
Moose Flannagan moves with his family to Alcatraz so his dad can work as a prison guard and his sister, Natalie, can attend a special school.

@Matt Bruno has out qualified Karun 6 - 3. During the race he has had more problems than Karun so you can't really compare the race results. I'm not really sure how you come up with the conclusion that he has been "consistantly out-performed"
Secondly I was unaware that he was even offered a test drive at Brawn GP, can you please let me know your source for this?
As far as I can see he handled the whole thing pretty professionally.

I'm telling her that whoever DOESN't get the flat drives back to the car and picks up the stranded rider.
Don't think it's realistic to carry a tire kit and pump for the type of riding we'll be doing.
I'm looking at 10-25 milers for the most part.
Who's being realistic?
