After El Niño, a Global Strategy to Save Corals
The future of coral reefs depends on the response and adaptation of corals to rising ocean temperatures. Finding reefs that serve as climate refuges and managing them globally is one of the highest priorities for action. To achieve that goal will require funding reef science beyond the borders of wealthy countries and prioritizing the monitoring and reporting of coral reefs around the world.
What Are We Actually Protecting In The Ocean?
One of the great recent success stories in conservation is the rapid increase in the establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs). Since 2006, there has been a staggering growth of 10 million km2 of new MPAs globally, a nearly four-fold increase over the past decade. Yet there has been no baseline for measuring how well our marine species are represented in protected areas. Until now.
A new paper we have published in Nature's Scientific Reports assesses the overlap of global MPAs with the ranges of 17,348 marine species (fishes, mammals, invertebrates). We have discovered some sobering results: most marine species are not well represented within MPAs and several hundred species are not covered at all.

The Coral Triangle: Amazon of the Oceans
Home to over three quarters of the world's coral species, The Coral Triangle is the underwater equivalent of the Amazon. It encompasses an area half the size of the United States and harbours more marine species than anywhere else on the planet. From Borneo down to the edge of the South Pacific, the Coral Triangle has some of the most breathtaking underwater landscapes, but the majority are buckling under the pressures of overfishing, resource extraction and climate change.

Coral Reefs: the Seawall That Nature Built
By Dr. Michael Beck, lead marine scientist, The Nature Conservancy Here's an optimistic idea for you to consider: We can save our coral reefs. Yes, you read that correctly. We can, and indeed we must, save coral reefs to help protect ourselves. Admittedly, that's not your traditional rationale for conservation, but it is one that…

MPAs for Fish Fillets in the Coral Triangle (2)
A recent Asia Development Bank report estimates that some 4.9 million people work as fishers across a selection of the Asia Pacific region (the Coral Triangle countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands, and Timor L'Este). Between 2007 and 2009, seafood constituted approximately 20 percent of the animal protein consumed in Coral Triangle…

What if Conservation Were the Default for the Ocean?
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are part of the management toolbox that can ensure sustainable use of the oceans and provide the world with fish proteins. Yet, even as benefits of MPAs related to food security, ecosystem services, and livelihoods are known, we currently fail on our commitments to protect 10% of the oceans by 2020.…

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – A man is dead after a shooting in Fort Worth. The incident happened just before midnight at a home in the 800 block of Davis Avenue, not far from Interstate-35W.
Police have not offered many details about the shooting, but officials with MedStar confirmed that a man was found deceased at the home late Tuesday night. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's office later identified the victim as 65-year-old Willie Daniels.
A family member said that she was inside of the home when she heard gunfire. She went to the front of the home and found Daniels dead in a hallway.
Crime scene detectives were on the scene for hours after the shooting. Nearby roadways, including the interstate's service road, were shut down during the investigation. There has been no word about possible suspects.

Putin warns against attack on Iran
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has warned against military action targeting Iran or imposing new sanctions to curb its nuclear program.
Speaking in Moscow, Mr Putin said strikes on Iran would lead to an increase in terrorism in the region.
"This would be very dangerous, unacceptable. This would lead to an explosion of terrorism, increase the influence of extremists," he said when asked about the possibility of an attack.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Putin is being logical on this issue: this is why the US and Israel will ignore him completely.

Hazel Park
Assault rifle accidentally goes off, almost hits senior
Bullet penetrated two houses and missed woman by an inch
By Andy Kozlowski
Posted March 26, 2014
HAZEL PARK — A 72-year-old Hazel Park woman was lying in bed when a 7.62 mm bullet pierced her wooden headboard and pillow, missing her head by an inch.
The incident occurred around 8:45 p.m. March 16 at a home in the 50 block of West Woodward Heights. Police responded to a call about a woman possibly being shot.
"We were fortunate no one was hurt," said Hazel Park Police Chief Martin Barner.
Upon arriving at the scene, police were met by a neighbor who indicated that he had been cleaning his SKS assault rifle in the house next door when it inadvertently discharged. The bullet — the kind used in weapons such as the AK-47 — traveled through the wall of his house and then through the wall of his neighbor's house.
"The bullet went through an interior wall, out an exterior wall, into an exterior wall, through an interior wall, through a wooden headboard, through a pillow, through a wooden dresser drawer, and lodged itself in a piece of electronic equipment — a Walkman-type device," Barner said. "The victim was sleeping on her pillow at the time; we estimate the bullet was probably an inch or less from her head."
The woman's 52-year-old son was present in the household and heard her screaming, thinking she had been struck with something. He raced into the room and moved his mother into the hallway, not knowing where the round came from or if there would be more shots fired.
The woman was treated at the scene. It was determined she didn't suffer any wounds; however, she was transferred to a local hospital due to elevated blood pressure and heart rate from the close call.
The man accused of firing the gun is Joshua Humphreys, 35, of Hazel Park.
"He said he checked the weapon multiple times to make sure it was unloaded," Barner said. "He was found to be a previously convicted felon."
It was found that the firearm was made up of several different types of firearms, with serial numbers on different components belonging to five separate guns, and police said that the bolt came back as reported stolen from Detroit in March 1994.
Humphreys was arrested and charged with felon in possession of a firearm, a five-year felony, and careless discharge of a firearm, a one-year felony. He was arraigned in Hazel Park 43rd District Court by Magistrate James Paterson March 18. He was given a $25,000 cash or surety bond.
A message seeking comment was left with his attorney, Karie Boylan.
"I think this incident brings attention to the fact that there are individuals in society that have no right to own or possess a firearm," Barner said. "And no matter how careful you think you're being while cleaning or handling a firearm, there is always the possibility it could be loaded and a terrible, tragic accident could occur. I think that all parties involved are extremely fortunate this didn't end tragically."

Childhood home of Jennifer Hudson showcases one of America's most violent neighbourhoods ahead of trial in 2008 triple murder
- Relatives of American Idol finalist shot dead at Chicago home in 2008
- Oscar-winner may testify at murder trial of William Balfour, which begins this week
- Number of homicides in Chicago has climbed 60 per cent in the first three months of 2012
The house is like many others nearby.
Blinded by boards over windows after witnessing the worst kind of violence, the white two-story house, its paint chipped and its front steps crumbling, sits vacant behind a rusty iron fence that separates an overgrown yard from the cracked sidewalk.
About the only difference between it and thousands of boarded-up buildings in Chicago's most notorious neighborhood is that Oscar-winning actress and singer Jennifer Hudson grew up here - and her mother, brother and nephew died here, allegedly gunned down by Hudson's brother-in-law, a known gang member.
Horror house: The former home of Jennifer Hudson is boarded up in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago after the murder of her mother, brother and nephew
That and the shrine of teddy bears, candles and flowers was bigger than others that sprout up on these blocks when life ends violently.
When the trial of William Balfour begins Monday in the 2008 killings, it will be an all-too-familiar story of death and violence in Englewood on the city's South Side.
Hudson's mother Darnell Hudson Donerson, 57, and older brother Jason, 29, were found dead at the family's home on Chicago's south side in 2008.
The singer then offered $100,000 for her missing nephew Julian King's safe return. The child's body was found three days later in a vehicle on the city's west side with multiple gun shot wounds.
Ms Hudson is on the witness list for the trial of her sister's estranged husband William Balfour who is accused of killing her family.
At a time when cities across the
country have seen the number of homicides fall, sometimes dramatically,
Chicago's jumped by a whopping 60 per cent the first three months of the
year, and Englewood's violence was a big reason why.
Charged: William Balfour is set to go on trial this week in the murders of Jennifer Hudson's mother Darnell Hudson Donerson, older brother Jason and nephew Julian King
Trial: William Balfour will be tried for murder starting this week at the Cook County courthouse, shown here
The 15 slayings there in 2012 are nearly double the number reported during the same period a year ago.
Last year, not only did the number jump to 60 from 40 the previous year, but the total number of homicides reported in this roughly 20-by-20 block community was more than half as many reported for the entire city of Washington, D.C. and a little less than a third of Houston's total for the year.
'It happens here all the time,' said Jean Carter-Hill, a community activist whose group helps children and families. 'I can't even run to all these funerals, it's just too many, looking at all these dead people in caskets all the time.'
In Chicago, Englewood has become synonymous with street crime.
Since he took office last May, Mayor Rahm Emanuel has used the word 'Englewood' as almost shorthand for gangs, guns and the dangers facing the city's children.
Warnings: Jennifer Hudson has told investigators in the murder case that she had misgivings about Balfour
But the deteriorating neighborhood has presented him with one of his biggest challenges, becoming a focus for his promise to deploy more police officers to the street while cracking down on Englewood's gangs.
mayor says very publicly that a murder in Englewood is a murder in the
city of Chicago [and] just because it happened there it is not OK,' said
Police Supt Garry McCarthy, in an AP interview.
'People feel abandoned in those neighborhoods and we are saying you are not abandoned.'
say they've seen police commanders and anti-gang initiatives come and
go over the years, and the neighborhood just gets more violent and the
criminals more brazen.
Just as in years past when public housing residents slept in their bathtubs to protect them from the bullets that pierced their walls, residents say the fear of gun battles has pushed some of them deep into their homes and away from their windows where they could be hit by stray bullets.
'People don't give a damn, they just shoot you across the street, they come into your house and shoot you,' said 80-year-old Homer Wright, who made headlines this month after shooting a teenager who allegedly broke into his tavern, where he'd taken to sleeping to prevent break-ins.
The authorities dropped charges against Wright but confiscated the handgun he owned illegally for self-protection.
Harrowing: Jennifer Hudson poses with her Oscar in 2008 and brother-in-law William Balfour. She's expected to testify at his murder trial over the shootings of her mother, brother and nephew
Murder trial: William Balfour is the estranged husband of Jennifer Hudson's sister Julia. He is accused of killing her mother, brother and nephew four years ago
Protection: Homer Wright made headlines this month after shooting a teen who allegedly broke into his tavern, where he'd taken to sleeping to prevent break-ins
There are a host of reasons for Englewood's downward spiral. But they mostly boil down to an exodus of families from an area that was predominantly single-family homes, resulting in an explosion in the number of abandoned buildings, and an influx of gang members.
Home to 100,000 residents in 1960, Englewood's population has dwindled.
It had dropped to about 40,000 in 2000 and to 30,000 just 10 years later.
Part of the reason, Carter-Hill and others say, is that families moved out to safer places and others lost their homes when they lost jobs during the recession.
According to the police department, there are more than 4,100 abandoned buildings in Englewood, nearly 600 of them vacated in just the last 15 months.
Troubled relationship: Jennifer Hudson's sister Julia with her estranged husband William Balfour who is standing trial for murdering her relatives
One study found more vacant homes in Englewood and the community to the immediate west than anywhere in Chicago.
It all has created an atmosphere ripe for a category of people nobody wanted to see: Gang members who left the city's torn-down public housing high rises and found the abandoned houses magnets for crime.
'We've seen gangs come in, run cords from the house next door for electrical service and make it look like a regular house and they're using it as a gang house,' said Leo Schmitz, commander of Englewood's police district.
Moore said the Hudson family still owns their now-empty house, but they've apparently stopped trying to remodel it after vandals broke in at least twice to steal construction materials.

Close ties: Jennifer Hudson offered $100,000 for the safe return of her nephew Julian King, seven (left). His body was found in an SUV with multiple gunshot wounds in October 2008
Murdered: The singer's mother Darnell Hudson Donerson (left) and older brother Jason (right) were shot dead in the family's home on the south side of Chicago
He sees Hudson's sister come by once in a while, but hasn't seen Jennifer Hudson, who even after she became famous came by to talk with people and even jump rope with kids outside.
But he does see gangbangers on the street all day, every day.
Among those, authorities said, was Balfour, the suspect in the Hudson family slayings.
While prosecutors say the killings had a domestic motive, tied to his deteriorating marriage to the singer's sister, his life story is a familiar one in Englewood.
A high school drop-out, Balfour was a member of the Gangster Disciples and had a long rap sheet for drug offenses, stealing cars and ultimately a seven-year stint in prison for attempted murder and vehicular manslaughter.
A little more than two years after his release, he was behind bars again, charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Hudson's mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew.
McCarthy said the Englewood gangs are more rigid and territorial than the gangs he saw when he was a ranking member of the police department in New York and chief in Newark, New Jersey.
Tragedy: Tributes lie outside the home in the Englewood neighbourhood of Chicago where Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother were shot dead
That means a rival gang member on a street where the drug trade is controlled by another gang can mean only one thing: Likely gunfire.
In response, Schmitz said he has ordered intelligence about gangs distributed to all police officers, not just the anti-gang squad.
And he's ordered officers out of their cars and walking the community more than ever before - a practice Carter-Hill said is necessary to build trust where there has long been suspicion of police.
Antie Moore, who lives a few doors down from the Hudson house, said he thinks things have gotten worse since the national media arrived to interview people after the killings.
A city clean-up crew came a few days ago, but Moore suspects it had more to do with news crews' return ahead of the trial than anything else.
'They only cleaned up the alley behind [the Hudson house] and a little bit of the lot next to it,' he said.
Then, he said, 'They left.'

I can write you a detailed Yelp!!
I am a Yelper as well as a business owner and we can both help each others business flourish. Business is hard and having reviews is quite difficult. Everyone uses Yelp to find their services that their looking for and that's a fact. People look at reviews as well as how many stars an establishment has. Forget traditional word of mouth when you have YELP!
I can perform this service virtual of course!! Few things I'd like to know to make this review very personal for you and your business and to get a actual personalized review just for you. What type of business do you have? Typically what is a favorite service or service you'd like to get more reviews on? Are there things about your business you'd like me to focus on in my reviews for it to really stand out?
Give me a few days to write your review and for you to proofread and then Deal Complete!!
Training & Qualifications
I am a Yelper for 3 years and have an established account and my reviews become part of your first page of reviews not in the recommended portion where you can't see, this happens when you don't have an established yelp account with no reviews or friends. Your future clients will get to see professional reviews that highlight your best qualities from an business and client point of view.
Availability & Preferences
I'm usually available in the evenings and on weekends.

The 2009 Lexus RX 350 scores highly in crash tests, and it has ample safety features and some interesting options.
The demanding Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awards the RX 350 2009 its top rating of "good." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gives the Lexus RX 350 five out of five stars for front impact protection and four out of five for side impact.
The 2009 Lexus RX 350 is "equipped with the latest in passive safety features, including seven airbags...safety features that come standard include the mandated front airbags, plus a smaller airbag to protect the driver's knees, [while] front passengers get side-impact airbags for torso protection... curtain-style head protection airbags span both rows and deploy to offer head protection if the vehicle senses the possibility of a rollover," says Automotive.com. In addition, "advanced ABS, traction control and electronic stability control come standard" in the Lexus RX 350 2009.
Safety options, according to Edmunds, include a rearview camera, adaptive cruise control, and rain-sensing wipers.
TheCarConnection.com finds only a single complaint about visibility in the Lexus RX 350, although it hits on an observation that TheCarConnection.com's editors think is quite common among crossover utility vehicles such as the RX 350. ConsumerGuide says the "bulky rear-roof pillars and narrowish tailgate window impede vision astern" in all Lexus RX models.

Crocodile Gena from the aquarium in the Ukrainian city of Dnipropetrovsk is not feeling very well, after wolfing down the Nokia of a careless visitor. Rimma Golovko dropped the phone in the croc's pool, while stretching out to take a picture of the reptile while he was opening his mouth, and Gena immediately snapped and swallowed the handset.
The aquarium attendants refused to believe her at first, but when they rang her phone, and the sound was coming from inside the crocodile, it was clear that Gena had a Nokia for lunch. "His behavior has changed," said an employee named Alexandra. "He moves very little and swims much less than he used to."
Gena has stopped eating and paying attention to the three African crocodiles around him, and vets will take him to X-ray next week, if the phone doesn't pass through. Surgery is considered as a last resort, since wounds heal slowly in reptiles, but the vets might have to do it after all, if the cell phone continues to worsen the crocodile's health. The girl that was the reason for the commotion hopes to retrieve her SIM card with her pictures and contacts.

They should feed her to the remaining crocodiles that still have an appetite. Maybe Gena will join in on the fun, and parts of Rimma can join her beloved SIM card.

We recently updated to version 5.3 of Spiceworks, and I can no longer query the SQLite database with SQLite Manager for Firefox or RazorSQL (or a few other SQLite tools I've tried).
With the SQLite Manager, I can connect and run a query, but, I'm only getting results from 2/6/12, or earlier, and we have steadily used it (around 275 tickets/week) since then so there is obviously data beyond 2/6.
With RazorSQL, I get a message "file is encrypted or not a database", and it stops there.
Spiceworks itself seems to working fine, and I can execute the same queries as custom SQL Spiceworks reports successfully (I just prefer to use the other tools).
I have updated to latest version of SQLite Manager and RazorSQL.
Any suggestions? Since this seemed to occur with the upgrade, I assumed it might be impacting all who tried to access via 3rd party tools, but, I haven't seen any similar messages from other users since roughly the 5.1 upgrade.
This topic was created during version 5.3.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Have you run your database browser with admin privileges when starting it up? That was one change I found necessary with Win7 after an upgrade. Double checked that it is pointing to the correct database?
Feb 15, 2012 at 4:25 UTC
Thanks, Tim, but, yes, I have been running both Firefox+SQLite Mgr and RazorSQL under admin privileges. I've had to do that for some time (maybe forever?) in order to make it work. These are running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Std OS, so, similar UAC issues as Win7.
Yes, correct database. I've even tried to point it at a backup of the current database, and got similar results. I can point it an older (pre-upgrade) backup, and successfully query that one.
Feb 15, 2012 at 10:50 UTC
Another database browser I use is SQLitestudio. Maybe that will give different results?
Feb 16, 2012 at 8:05 UTC
Hmmm, the first time I tried SQLitestudio it worked perfectly (I was surprised, since I had tried 3 others similar products besides RazorSQL and the SQLite Manager), but, I exited from it, and tried to get back in later, and I got the error "not a supported database" and "database disk image is malformed".
I'm beginning to think that in spite of Spiceworks appearing to run fine, perhaps the database has some corruption?
Feb 16, 2012 at 9:21 UTC
There is a wee issue with it when it comes to schema definitions.
Many of the columns are defined as varchar(50) but actually can contain data of any length. I know this causes issues with SQL server when trying to create a direct linked server.
There were issues with some DB tools in the 5.0 to 5.1 update reporting that the database was corrupt or encrypted (they are easily searchable). The main suggested solution then was to use the FF plugin which has been working fine for me since.
I have a test server upgraded to 5.3 and that opens fine. My SQLite Manager version is 0.7.7
We have less than a thousand tickets in total however.
Feb 16, 2012 at 10:13 UTC
You should be able to rule out corruption by doing an integrity check on the database. From a command-prompt execute this:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Spiceworks\bin>sqlite3.exe ..\db\spiceworks_prod.db "pragma integrity_check"
You should see "ok" returned after a few seconds if there are no problems. If you don't get "ok" send us an email and we can help you out.
SQLite Manager for Firefox should work fine with the latest version of Spiceworks. v.0.7.7 of the plugin uses a new enough version of SQLite to access the Spiceworks database.
Try copying the database to another location, and opening it there. Its safer to do that anyway.. be sure to bring the two similarly named wal/shm files with it, when you copy the database.
Feb 16, 2012 at 10:16 UTC
Thanks, I had seen mention of the same issue during the 5.0 to 5.1 upgrade.
Interestingly enough, I had my network engineer log into the server and used the same Firefox/SQLite Manager, and it seemed to work fine for him (maybe I just need to practice my delegation!).
So, I tried it, and I am seeing more recent items than I was previously, but, still not up to date info.
Feb 16, 2012 at 10:18 UTC
Is this when you do a query or just when viewing the table?
If the latter have you tried the search and putting created_at > 01/01/2012?
Feb 16, 2012 at 10:18 UTC
Thanks, Ben, I will give that a try. I assume I should stop Spiceworks first, in which case, I'll need to wait until tonight, or early tomorrow when nobody is in it.
Feb 16, 2012 at 10:26 UTC
Bodestone, using SQLite Manager, as a test, I was simply doing a "select * from tickets order by ID DESC", and the latest ticket created_at date is 2012-02-14 16:46:42. But, I can go into Spiceworks and see all tickets created yesterday and this morning.
As of yesterday or day before, when I issued the same command, I was only getting results through 2012-02-06.
Feb 16, 2012 at 10:34 UTC
Thanks, Ben, I will give that a try. I assume I should stop Spiceworks first, in which case, I'll need to wait until tonight, or early tomorrow when nobody is in it.
This can be run while Spiceworks is online, no need to stop Spiceworks first.

As of yesterday or day before, when I issued the same command, I was only getting results through 2012-02-06.
I was just wondering if it was a results size issue and the results were being retrieved before the ordering was applied. Try adding a WHERE clause for tickets created after a certain date. Possibly straw clutching but given I have no issues and one difference is we have a tiny amount of tickets
Feb 16, 2012 at 11:05 UTC
Ben, the check came back "ok".
Based on my network engineer successfully using SQLite Manager, I logged into the server with a different account, and was able to successfully use SQLite Manager.
So, I think the issue might have been something in my Windows account profile. I'll try renaming the original profile and recreating, but, worst case, I can use the alternate login for everything I need.
I really appreciate the help from everyone though! All good thoughts and ideas.
Feb 16, 2012 at 5:43 UTC
That is just bizzareness incarnate. It's a file based DB It should have nothing to do with domain user rights other than do you have rights to read the file.
Oh hang on, they have been introducing additional DB files recently. I wonder if.. No.. Surely SQLlite does nto do cross file dependency. That would be insane.
Your account must be mapping to the weekly backup or an old shadowcopy or somethign bizzare.
It's definitely a strange one but not as strange as an entire version of Ununtu could not print, only on Tuesdays and only in certain countries. Turned out there was a conflict between certain date formats and the print driver interpreter commands in the kernel.
Feb 17, 2012 at 7:09 UTC
I completely agree! Very strange to say the least. But, that is what always keeps the IT thing fun, never a dull moment, and always a new puzzle to solve!

About Me
**NO FLY-BY FRIEND REQs. Message me first...
Ok... First off, I'm not one of those photographers on Model Mayhem (you know who you are) who think that their work will change humanity as we know it, and describe it intimately... There are more important issues, but having said that, I LOVE it!
Half the time I don't feel like my photos turn out very well, but others do... so that's what keeps me shooting, learning and improving!
I finished college and now have extra time to pursue my passions one of which is photography. I love portraits. There is something about the essence of imperfection that makes everyone unique. Something to value. It's in our imperfections that true beauty can shine.
Don't get me wrong, if you want NO imperfections I can help out as well... I'm up for the "high fashion" photos and other ideas you might have as we work to create a masterpiece for ourselves.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The second-seeded LSU men's golf team put together a furious comeback on Saturday at the New Have Regional to edge Iowa and N.C. State by one stroke and qualify for the NCAA Championships.
LSU, which finished third at the 2014 championship, finished at 9-over-par 849 and will join 29 teams at Concession Golf Club in Sarasota, Fla., for a shot at the 2015 title. Four rounds of stroke play will begin May 29 before an eight-team bracket is formed to determine the champion in match play on June 2-3.
It is the fifth time in six seasons the Tigers will tee off at the NCAA Championships.
Brandon Pierce and Ben Taylor each shot 5-under 65s, as Pierce had five birdies on the Tigers' second nine holes (the front nine), while Taylor birdied Nos. 7 and 9 to push the Tigers ahead of N.C. State and Iowa and inside the cut line. LSU's remaining three players — Stewart Jolly, Zach Wright and Eric Ricard — each shot 1-under 69 on Saturday to help complete the comeback.
The Tigers passed five teams and made up 16 strokes on N.C. State, which shot 4-over Saturday.
South Florida (14-under), San Diego State (even), Oklahoma State (2-over) and Vanderbilt (4-over) also advanced from the New Haven Regional.
Oklahoma State's Jordan Niebrugge fired a 1-under 69 in the final round to capture the individual title with a winning score of 7-under par 203. Vanderbilt's Matthias Schwab, Ohio State's Addison Coll and Troy's Tolver Dozier followed in a tie for second place at 4-under par 206.

Institute Of Microelectronics
To Present Cutting-Edge Technologies In Biosensor, Automated Cell Counting And Chip-Scale Tunable Laser
1. Singapore, December. 3, 2013 - A*STAR's Institute of Microelectronics (IME) will be presenting three papers at the prestigious 2013 International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) to showcase its recent breakthroughs in biosensor technology, microelectronic-based cell enumeration platform and a three-dimensional (3D) microelectromechanical (MEMS) enabled laser source. The IME researchers are also co-authors of another paper titled "Analytical model of endurance degradation and its practical applications for operation scheme optimization in metal oxide based RRAM", which will be presented by Peking University. IME's strong presence in one of the world's premier conferences anchors its position as the leading semiconductor R&D center in Asia.
2. The IEEE IEDM is an annual electronics conference for reporting advances in the areas of semiconductor and electronic device technology, design, manufacturing, physics, and modeling. The conference features leading experts in their respective fields of influence from around the globe. This year's conference will take place in Washington, D.C., USA, from 9 – 11 December 2013.
3. Summaries of the technical presentations by A*STAR's IME are as follows. A Novel Optical Multiplexed, Label-Free Bio-Photonic Sensor Realized on CMOS-Compatible Optoelectronic Integrated (OEIC) Platform by Junfeng Song et al.
Conventional label-free optical sensing systems are bulky and require expensive high resolution laser sources to achieve the high sensitivity necessary for diagnostic applications, adding to the rising cost of healthcare.
IME is reporting a novel biophotonics sensor based on an innovative microring resonator design. The sensor offers superior sensitivity capability at significantly lower cost than conventional label-free optical sensing systems. The superior sensitivity, speed and multiplexing capability, together with the cost advantage and miniaturization potential position the sensor favorably as a portable point-of-care (POC) diagnostic solution for timely intervention and better treatment outcome. This work is a fundamental building block for a smart Si biochip for next generation sensing system network that is cost-effective and compact.
CMOS Based High Density Micro Array Platform for Electrochemical Detection and Enumeration of Cells by Chee Chung Wong et al.
The identification of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is commonly carried out by fluorescence staining methodology, which is time-consuming, laborious and costly.
IME is presenting a microelectrode-array based on CMOS electrical-impedance-spectroscopy platform that integrates direct electrical detection with cell enumeration. This platform allows automated high speed counting of a large number of cell population with single cell resolution, making it possible to eliminate the skill-intensive and laborious protocols involved in the manual cell differentiation, cell labeling and staining steps. Results demonstrated from this work present tremendous opportunity for the platform to be used as a high throughput and cost-effective approach to identify tumor cells, relevant to clinical cancer management.
Demonstration of a Single-Chip Integrated MEMS Tunable Laser with 48-nm Wavelength Range by Cai Hong et al.
Commercial tunable lasers require multiple components in their set-up in order to achieve the necessary wide tuning range, thereby contributing to the bulkiness of these systems and rendering them challenging for integration.
IME is reporting the first demonstration of an on-chip integrated tunable laser with 3D micro-coupling system. The miniature integrated system is the smallest reported tunable laser fabricated by MEMS technology that can generate light over a range of wavelengths. The design uses simple packaging and provides ease of fabrication for mass production. The flexible wavelength range offered by the laser allows service providers to cost-effectively expand system capacity in advanced wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks to support high data packets at ultra fast speed. This miniature on-chip system can also be readily integrated into high-density photonic circuits to achieve smaller form-factor. These distinct functionalities and highlights make the laser an attractive light source for next generation optical telecommunications, as well as in other spectroscopy applications.

Anyone using or ever used Centricity/Logician from GE? Just started a new job recently and this is their major app that have no experience with it. Need to upgrade to the latest service pack wondered if anyone was familiar

We use both. Centricity Physician Office Practice Management 2004 and Logician 5.6 and have them linked.
We have a VAR that typically installs the SP's on the server then we get to deploy the SP's out to all the clients ourselves. It's fun deploying 375 clients in 16 facilities across T1 WAN connections! ;-)
Apr 11, 2008 at 2:11 UTC
We use Centricity PM 04 but we don't have the EHR piece currently. The service packs are fairly easy to install but they can be time consuming depending on the size of your DB.
I'll agree that deploying to the clients via T1's can be a little slow since they tend to be in the 50 MB range. What I've found easiest is to copy the setup file for the service pack from the server to one client at each site and install it manually that way. Saves a lot of time compared to letting it run from the install page.

Metallica certainly have a lot to prove with Death Magnetic, the follow-up to 2003's St. Anger, an album which divided the critics and the band's own audience.
Metallica certainly have a lot to prove with Death Magnetic, the follow-up to 2003's St. Anger, an album which divided the critics and – more importantly – the band's own audience. It was also crucial for the group to learn how to collaborate effectively once more, following the fraught sessions for St. Anger, a period captured to stunning effect in the acclaimed documentary Some Kind Of Monster.
Wisely, Metallica have this time around opted for a stripped down sound that returns them to their mid-'80s thrash metal roots. They could scarcely have chosen a better producer to help them attain their goal than Rick Rubin, a man who specialises in helping artists get back to basics. Still, while the band's no-frills approach yields some excellent results, it also has to be acknowledged that Death Magnetic conspicuously lacks an obvious monster hit a la 'Enter Sandman' or 'Nothing Else Matters', and as such is unlikely to return James Hetfield and co. to their commercial peak.
What Death Magnetic does have – in spades – are abrasive guitars and machine-gun drum beats. Wracked song titles such as 'The End Of The Line' and 'Broken, Beat & Scarred' tell their own story – these are hard-riffing tunes with an appetite for destruction. The first real point of departure is the single, 'The Day That Never Comes', which slows the pace down a notch. Built around a melancholy guitar riff and a mid-tempo drum rhythm, the tune eventually erupts into a powerful chorus.
The band kick out the jams once more on the bruising one-two of 'All Nightmare Long' and 'Cyanide', both of which are scorching rockers that pummel the listener into submission. Indeed, if there's a central problem with Death Magnetic, it's that in their enthusiasm to restate their metal credentials, Metallica have jettisoned some of the qualities that made them massively popular in the first place.
There isn't a classic, sinister riff like the one that propelled 'The Thing That Should Not Be' (a tune which Kurt Cobain was known to include on mixtapes), nor is there a menacing, tuned-down number a la 'Sad But True' (which could have slotted in quite comfortably on Nine Inch Nails' Broken).
One of the few concessions to sonic diversity is 'The Unforgiven III', which opens with piano and foreboding guitar. As noted in last issue's interview with James Hetfield, there's an interesting thematic departure in this installment of the saga, with the song's narrator focusing on his inability to forgive himself, as opposed to others. Elsewhere, aside from the epic instrumental 'Suicide & Redemption' (which has touches of post-rock about it), relentless, skull-shattering rock is the order of the day on both 'The Judas Kiss' and the closing 'My Apocalypse'.
Winding up after a concise ten tracks, Death Magnetic sees Metallica systemically removing all traces of production bombast to see what lies beneath. One or two moments of tedium aside, this approach has resulted in an album that's dark, intense and impressively uncompromising.

So today's Mark Maske story asks and gets some answers on a question that's bubbled below the surface for much of the season: Could Robert Griffin III be the NFL MVP?
The gist of the story: Not at 5-6, but maybe at 9-7 and in the playoffs. And Kurt Warner makes the point that rookie of the year candidates don't often get considered over established vets for MVP.
There are a couple of traditional ways to pick MVPs: Best player on the best team, the definition NFL voters often use, or the guy who's done the most for his team, period.
By the first definition, Falcons QB Matt Ryan could end up with the award. More than likely, it'll go to someone like Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers, who are highly respected to begin with and are having fairly good seasons.
But going by the theory of "where would Team X be if Player Y wasn't having the season he's having?," it's pretty hard to ignore Griffin. The Redskins got by at quarterback last season, but that was with a 13th-ranked defense. This season (28th ranked defense), with a couple more wins, Griffin's quarterback credentials would put him in the mix. He's top-five in several passing metrics, including No. 2 in yards per attempt — and he's No. 2 in yards per rush, ahead of Vikings RB Adrian Peterson but behind Bills RB C.J. Spiller.
Where would the Redskins be without Griffin, if they're 5-6 with him? You may shudder to think.
Who else makes his team so much better? New Orleans QB Drew Brees rallied his team to mediocre (5-6) after a slow start under rough circumstances. The Bears (8-3) are a much less effective offense without QB Jay Cutler, just as the Steelers (6-5) struggle without QB Ben Roethlisberger. The Vikings (6-5) would probably be pretty hopeless without Peterson. The Colts (7-4) are surprisingly good behind QB Andrew Luck, the only player drafted before Griffin. Nobody mentions Eli Manning, but the quarterback of the Giants (7-4) could play his way into the race with a strong finish.
Of those, Peterson probably has the best shot at the award as of now. Peyton Manning doesn't pass the "where would they be without him?" test, because the Broncos (8-3) were a playoff team last season. Ravens LB Ray Lewis has missed several games, but Baltimore (9-2) keeps on winning, so he's another big name that doesn't really work.
I can't think of a defensive player this season who makes that much difference, though I wish MVPs these days would occasionally come from defenses or offensive lines. They should just rename it the Top Offensive Back Award.
Who makes more difference than Griffin? Leave some names in the comments, if you think of anyone.
And how should MVPs be determined — best player on a winning team, or the player who does the most for his team, period?
Your comments, as always, are appreciated.

Hi I am making my first hat. I am using the magic loop method, and I am confused about something. This pattern I am using is for magic loop so it divides the pattern by rounds. I was instructed to cast on with 120 stitches. Since I am doing magic loop I divided at 60 stitches. My pattern for the cabling section says Round 1: 2/2LC, P2, 2/2RC. (20 sts). The part that is confusing me is the (20 sts). Does that mean I am going to end up doing round one three times? Since I have 60 stitches per round? It just doesn't say repeat on any of these instructions, and obviously I have more than 20 stitches. Please help!!
Thank you!!!!
That sounds like what it means...repeat 3 times for a total of 60 sts per side. Can you post the name and pattern link if possible? There are a lot of hat patterns.
There is no link to the pattern because you have to be a member of their website, and then they email you the pattern PDF. Which doesn't allow you to copy it. It's called the Rilo hat. Here's a picture of it
I'm pretty sure it's just telling you that each repeat takes 20 stitches.

I am having things I am unclear about related to the AS3 language and the flex compiler. Maybe all those questions have already been answered (too many news these days to keep up on everything). I hope my questions are not too redundant. AS3 - as far as I understand - is still in the "hands" of Adobe. However: Many people are interested in language features, some of these issues might be dealt by changing the compiler some might be dealt with by changing the AVM. It is my understanding that the AVM will stay in Adobes hand(with which I am fine with). Adobe "can not" change the AS3 language without compiler and IDE changes. Also the flex compiler should not fix language problems creating some sort of egg-hen problem. If users (like me) are interested in language changes, whom should they best be addressed to? Maybe it would be possible to have some sort of "platform" (mailinglist? subject prefix?) for talking about language/compiler issues? Wouldn't it be got to have a compiler flag like "-compiler.non-conform=true" or a code-name (flexionscript) to test/implement/experiment with new compiler features without breaking the AS3 language (a little like the -webkit- prefix in browsers)? Is there something like that? A question to the the apache flex team members that work at Adobe: Is there a workflow for telling the world (compiler, IDE, documentation providers) if or when improvements (I assume there will be improvements at some point) to AS3 as a language and AVM as a platform will be made? After all I assume this is the biggest "contact point" between the Adobe and Apache. AS3 - the language Spec - is not contributed (right?), what about the MXML language spec? sincerely yours Martin Heidegger
