|The answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything?
If you are not a big geek, ignore that part. This post explains what all your hair properties mean. I suggest going on the Wavy Hair Community, Curl Talk forum on Naturally Curly (or the Long Hair Community for straight hair since Naturally Curly doesn't have a straight hair section) and find people with the same hair properties. You can see which products and techniques they use for their hair and try them on your hair.
If your hair is wavy check the hair biography file at the Wavy Hair Community (message an administrator to Clijoin, you must be a member to view) or the wavy hair biography thread on NC.com. Pay more attention to the other properties then you do curl pattern.
Curl Pattern:
Curl pattern is the least important hair property. In general, the curlier your hair is, the more moisture it needs. Very curly hair will be dryer, because it has more bends, and the cuticle "shingles" cannot lie flat against the bends in the hair shaft. When the cuticle "shingles" aren't flat, moisture escapes. People with wavy (type 2) hair often find they need a gel with a harder hold then those with curly hair. Different styling techniques will work best for each curl pattern. Styling is probably the biggest difference between different curl patterns. Also, the straighter your hair, the stronger cleanser you are likely to need. Straight hair (1's) will likely need at least an occasional sulfate shampoo. Nearly all wavies (2's) need an occasional non sulfate shampoo (low poo). Curlies (3's and 4's) are more likely to be able to cowash (conditioner wash) exclusively.
People with thick hair will probably want heavier products to keep their hair from getting too big. They may also prefer air drying, which produces less volume then diffusing. On colder days, you can sit under a hard hat dryer to speed things along.
People with thin hair will probably prefer lighter products so their hair does not get weighted down. They may also prefer diffusing and/or clipping (I'll explain in a later post) as their styling method to add volume.
For more info: No-poo Jillipoo: Adjusting the Volume
Fine hair: Fine hair usually does not like a lot of oils, butters, or products that contain them. Heavy products will be too moisturizing and/or may weigh fine hair down. Fine hair tends to get over moisturized easily. Fine hair that is very prone to being weighed down may not like any silicone, even water soluble ones. People who's hair gets weighed down very easily may find silicones too heavy. Many fine haired wavies find cowashing weighs their hair down. Some fine haired wavies cannot cowash and have to use a low poo exclusively. Fine hair tends to like protein, no matter what the porosity. Fine hair has a relative small cortex compared to coarse hair, and has a hard time keeping the proper amount of protein inside it. There is not enough room for protein in the cortex of fine hair, so you have to routinely add more protein. Products that contain protein and/or protein treatments help keep the proper amount of protein inside the hair's cortex. Use products that contain protein and/or protein treatments as needed. Once a week protein treatments are common for fine hair. You should do protein treatments as often, but only as often as your hair needs them.
Coarse hair: Usually likes oils and butters and the products that contain them These products help soften the hair so it bends easier. Coarse hair tends not to like protein. (porous, coarse hair will need some protein, but be cautious) Coarse hair has a large cortex that tends to have plenty of protein naturally. It doesn't need any additional protein.
More in depth explanation of "makes hair bend easier" from Science-y Hair Blog.
Medium hair: Is is in the middle (duh). It likes some oils, butter, and oil/butter products. It needs some protein. Medium hair may like a protein treatment more like once a month to once every few months. Again, do protein treatments as often as you hair needs them. When the positive effects of a protein treatment wear off, it is time to do another one.
Porous hair: Porous hair needs protein. Protein helps fix the porosity by temporarily filling in the openings and holes in the hair's cuticle. When the protein eventually washes out of your hair, you will need to fill the openings again with more protein. You will want to use protein in you products and/or do protein treatments. If your hair is porous and coarse, use caution because this hair can get too much protein easily. I've read keratin or silk protein is the easiest for coarse hair to use. I don't know if that is true or not. Closing the holes in your cuticle will also help keep moisture from escaping, so treating your hair with protein may help keep your hair moisturized as well. Experiment with different types of protein to see which type works best. Your hair may dislike one kind of protein and love another.
Normal Porosity: Good for you. If your hair is fine you will still want protein treatments. If your hair is medium, you may still want an occasional protein treatment.
Non Porous Hair: Non porous hair does not need protein because the cuticle lies flat and does not need to be repaired (you still need protein for fine hair). Non porous hair is very healthy hair in general. If non porous hair becomes dried out, it hard to get it moisturized again. It is hard to get moisture back into hair because there are no openings in the cuticle for the moisture to make its way into hair.
Overly Elastic Hair is a sign hair is over moisturized. You need to use more protein and use as little conditioner as possible until your hair returns to normal.
Normal Elasticity Hair stretches up to 1/3 of its original length and returns back to its original length. Good Job. Carry on.
Low Elasticity Hair can be caused by several things. Usually it is lack of moisture. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep treatments, and leave in conditioners. You may also need protein treatments to shore up the stretchy protein strands in your cortex.
Keep in mind that these are general rules. Hair is individual. My hair is very fine, but only follows about half of the general rules for fine hair. You need to do what works for your individual hair.
If you know your hair likes/needs specific things, this page on Science-y Hair Blog might help you pick products.

Brenda O'Neill — Spiked-Online July 30, 2013
Imagine if, in 1973, with elected Chilean leader Salvador Allende being swept from power in a bloody military coup by the unelected General Augusto Pinochet, a group like Amnesty International chose to focus its attentions almost exclusively on the plight of a poet being banged up in, say, Belarus. Even if you believed the imprisonment of poets to be a very bad thing, you would think that was weird, right? A case of twisted priorities.
Well, the equivalent is happening right now. In Egypt, a military dictatorship has deposed and imprisoned an elected president, massacred hundreds of his supporters, and created government departments to oversee the interrogation and torture of 'terrorists' (otherwise known as Muslim Brotherhood voters). And yet the big issue on Amnesty's online activism page is, as it has been for months, the continuing legal fights of imprisoned Russian punk band Pussy Riot. It seems if you want to win the attention of the West's best-known human-rights outfit, it helps to be pretty white women with guitars rather than gruff brown men with beards.
There are many striking things about the political situation in Egypt. But perhaps the most striking thing is the silence of those who pose as human-rights cheerleaders, of the West's head-shakers over tyranny in far-off lands, who have gone strangely mute, or at least uncharacteristically coy, in the face of the Egyptian military's seizure of power and repression of dissent.
From all those high-minded newspaper columnists who normally bang the drum for Western warmaking against foreign countries that do authoritarian things, nada. From the leaders of Britain, America and France who usually get off on denouncing tyrannical militarism, zilch – or at best a half-assed plea to the Egyptian military to calm down. And from the human-rights industry, the self-styled moral conscience of the decent West, not much. Scour Amnesty International's recent statements and you'll discover that it has in fact put out an anaemic press release about Egypt, calling on the security forces to 'protect protesters from violent attack'. What? It's the security forces, primarily armed police units, that are violently attacking the protesters. No wonder Amnesty hasn't said much about Egypt – it doesn't seem to know what's happening there.
The Western do-gooder lobby's lack of concern about the bad currently being done in Egypt is summed up in the severe downturn in the number tweets containing the word 'Egypt'. Between 1 January and 28 February 2011, when Egyptians rose up against the then dictator Hosni Mubarak and his violent security apparatus, globally there were 3,005,395 tweets containing the word Egypt, as many Western radicals and human-rights types hammered their outrage into 140 characters. Over the past four weeks, as numerous Egyptians have taken a stand against the new dictator Fattah al-Sisi, and have been massacred or jailed in their hundreds for doing so, globally there have been 1,970,570 tweets containing the word Egypt. And bear in mind that the number of registered Twitter accounts has more than doubled since early 2011, rising from 175million to over 500million. So the number of Twitter users has risen exponentially, yet the liberal Twitterati's expressions of outrage over events in Egypt are shrivelling up.

The Surprising Link Between Hurricanes and Strawberry Pop-Tarts: Brought to you by Clean, Consistent and Connected Data
What do you think Wal-Mart's best-seller is right before a hurricane? If you guessed water like I did, you'd be wrong. According to this New York Times article, "What Wal-Mart Knows About Customers' Habits" the retailer sells 7X more strawberry Pop-Tarts in Florida right before a hurricane than any other time. Armed with predictive analytics and a solid information management foundation, the team stocks up on strawberry Pop-Tarts to make sure they have enough supply to meet demand.
I learned this fun fact from Andrew Donaher, Director of Information Management Strategy at Groundswell Group, a consulting firm based in western Canada that specializes in information management services. In this interview, Andy and I discuss how IT leaders can increase the value of data to drive business value, explain how some IT leaders are collaborating with business leaders to improve predictive analytics, and share advice about how to talk to business leaders, such as the CFO about investing in an information management strategy.
Q. Andy, what can IT leaders do to increase the value of data to drive business value?
A. Simply put, each business leader in a company needs to focus on achieving their goals. The first step IT leaders should take is to engage with each business leader to understand their long and short-term goals and ask some key questions, such as:
- What type of information is critical to achieving their goals?
- Do they have the information they need to make the next decision or take the next best action?
- Is all the data they need in house? If not, where is it?
- What challenges are they facing when it comes to their data?
- How much time are people spending trying to pull together the information they need?
- How much time are people spending fixing bad data?
- How much is this costing them?
- What opportunities exist if they had all the information they need and could trust it?
Q. How are IT leaders collaborating with business partners to improve predictive analytics?
A. Wal-Mart's IT team collaborated with the business to improve the forecasting and demand planning process. Once they found out what was important, IT figured out how to gather, store and seamlessly integrate external data like historical weather and future weather forecasts into the process. This enabled the business to get more valuable insights, tailor product selections at particular stores, and generate more revenue.
Q. Why is it difficult for IT leaders to convince business leaders to invest in an information management strategy?
A. In most cases, business leaders don't see the value in an information management strategy or they haven't seen value before. Unfortunately this often happens because IT isn't able to connect the dots between the information management strategy and the outcomes that matter to the business.
Business leaders see value in having control over their business-critical information, being able to access it quickly and to allocate their resources to get any additional information they need. Relinquishing control takes a lot of trust. When IT leaders want to get buy-in from business leaders to invest in an information management strategy they need to be clear about how it will impact business priorities. Data integration, data quality and master data management (MDM) should be built into the budget for predictive or advanced analytics initiatives to ensure the data the business is relying on is clean, consistent and connected.
Q: You liked this quotation from an IT leader at a beer manufacturing company, "We don't just make beer. We make beer and data. We need to manage our product supply chain and information supply chain equally efficiently."
A.What I like about that quote is the IT leader was able to connect the dots between the primary revenue generator for the company and the role data plays in improving organizational performance. That's something that a lot of IT leaders struggle with. IT leaders should always be thinking about what's the next thing they can do to increase business value with the data they have in house and other data that the company may not yet be tapping into.
Q. According to a recent survey by Gartner and the Financial Executives Research Foundation, 60% of Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) are investing in analytics and improved decision-making as their #1 IT priority. What's your advice for IT Leaders who need to get buy-in from the CFO to invest in information management?
A. Read your company's financial statements, especially the Management Discussion and Analysis section. You'll learn about the company's direction, what the stakeholders are looking for, and what the CFO needs to deliver. Offer to get your CFO the information s/he needs to make decisions and to deliver. When you talk to a CFO about investing in information management, focus on the two things that matter most:
- Risk mitigation: CFOs know that bad decisions based on bad information can negatively impact revenue, expenses and market value. If you have to caveat all your decisions because you can't trust the information, or it isn't current, then you have problems. CFOs need to trust their information. They need to feel confident they can use it to make important financial decisions and deliver accurate reports for compliance.
- Opportunity: Once you have mitigated the risk and can trust the data, you can take advantage of predictive analytics. Wal-Mart doesn't just do forecasting and demand planning. They do "demand shaping." They use accurate, consistent and connected data to plan events and promotions not just to drive inventory turns, but to optimize inventory and the supply chain process. Some companies in the energy market are using accurate, consistent and connected data for predictive asset maintenance. By preventing unplanned maintenance they are saving millions of dollars, protecting revenue streams, and gaining health and safety benefits.
To do either of these things you need a solid information management plan to manage clean, consistent and connected information. It takes a commitment but the pays offs can be very significant.
Q. What are the top three business requirements when building an information management and integration strategy?
A: In my experience, IT leaders should focus on:
- Business value: A solid information management and integration strategy that has a chance of getting funded must be focused on delivering business value. Otherwise, your strategy will lack clarity and won't drive priorities. If you focus on business value, it will be much easier to gain organizational buy-in. Get that dollar figure before you start anything. Whether it is risk mitigation, time savings, revenue generation or cost savings, you need to calculate that value to the business and get their buy-in.
- Trust: When people know they can trust the information they are getting it liberates them to explore new ideas and not have to worry about issues in the data itself.
- Flexibility: Flexibility should be banked right into the strategy. Business drivers will evolve and change. You must be able to adapt to change. One of the most neglected, and I would argue most important, parts of a solid strategy is the ability to make continuous small improvements that may require more effort than a typical maintenance event, but don't create long delays. This will be very much appreciated by the business. We work with our clients to ensure that this is addressed.

The debate between which plants should prevail in gardens, native plants or introduced plants, is a contentious one.
Advocates of our native flora will point out such qualities as water conservation, wildlife opportunities, their limited need for fertilizer and reduced maintenance needs.
Traditionalists, favoring exotic plants, speak of their year-round good looks, the large diversity of choices, easy availability and the important security of gardening with plants with which they are already familiar.
The vast majority of our local landscapes employ an array of well-known introduced, non-native plants, such as delphiniums, penstemons, solanums, ranunculus, salvias, clematis, violas, orchids, poppies, lilies, sweet peas, bleeding hearts, even dichondra.
Traditionalists love these familiar and colorful plants. A quick walk around the block would likely uncover most, if not all, of these well-known stalwarts of our gardens.
What most local gardeners may not know is that all of these plants are native to Orange County; maybe not the same species or hybrid growing in your garden, but a native version of the same plant.
Deep blue delphiniums and bright-yellow violas growing wild in Orange County? Yes.
Climbing clematis? Yes.
Golden ranunculus? Yes.
Six-foot orange lilies? Yes, and lots of them.
Remember, I'm not talking about these plants growing in cultivation or being planted; I'm referring to completely native plants, wild and indigenous.
Right here in Orange County, on our hillsides and canyons grow fragrant pink sweet peas, exotic nodding peonies, elusive orchids, stunning purple penstemons, huge yellow bleeding hearts, a wide variety of salvias, several poppies and even a rare but beautiful spreading dichondra.
It is possible to incorporate a few local native plants into your garden, while not venturing too far from the popular, familiar plants to which you're already accustomed.
Perhaps the gap between the advocates of native plants and those of introduced plants isn't as wide as we think.
If you're a traditionalist, and you can't imagine a garden without your familiar plants, this weekend would be an excellent time to take a slow casual walk at Crystal Cove State Park, the Laguna Coast Wilderness or any one of the many trails in the Cleveland National Forest.
Delphiniums, ranunculus, violas, sweet peas and many other familiar garden friends might greet you there.
RON VANDERHOFFis the nursery manager at Roger's Gardens, Corona del Mar
Ask Ron
My roses are growing like crazy. I'm so excited. There are lots of big buds, but they are being attacked by a zillion aphids. What should I spray with? I don't want to damage the flowers.
Elizabeth, Newport Beach
Aphids are incredibly common at this time of time of year, Elizabeth. I wouldn't worry too much. In fact, if you did nothing, I'll bet the aphids disappear in two or three weeks, and the roses are no worse off. If you just can't bear to see them, you can knock most of them off with a brisk stream of plain water. If that still doesn't satisfy you, then use a spray bottle of Insecticidal soap to kill them. Whatever you do, don't go get the heavy chemicals and especially not a dose of systemic insecticide. Aphids don't really do much harm, but these chemicals sure can.
ASK RON your toughest gardening questions, and the expert nursery staff at Roger's Gardens will come up with an answer. Please include your name, phone number and city, and limit queries to 30 words or fewer.

Bruins step right up
Marchand (2 goals), Campbell (2 assists) lead the way
The Bruins are grinding. Even in a six-goal outburst, their biggest offensive explosion of the season, the Bruins made a 6-2 win over Carolina tighter than it should have been.
The Hurricanes swarmed the Bruins in the first period. They punched in two third-period goals and nearly added a third.
"Defensively, I think if you look at the goals against, we've been pretty good,'' said goaltender Tuukka Rask. "But I don't think we're the best we can be in that area. Especially today. We had a couple letdowns there.''
These are the dog-day stretches when the Bruins need their hard hats to pull the chain. On Monday night at TD Garden, Gregory Campbell assumed that role.
Campbell is usually the fourth-line center. The coaching staff demands short, hard, efficient shifts from Campbell and his linemates – usually Daniel Paille and Shawn Thornton – to wear down opponents.
But with the Bruins without Patrice Bergeron, their best center, they asked Campbell to take on a top-six position against Carolina. It is a role in which Tyler Seguin came up short against New Jersey and Montreal. Rich Peverley would have been another option, but the ex-Thrasher has been struggling all season.
Monday night, Campbell centered Brad Marchand and Jaromir Jagr. Campbell submitted a two-assist performance in 15:29 of ice time. It was exactly the type of game the Bruins needed from their No. 2 center.
"His style is not fancy,'' said coach Claude Julien. "It's about straightforward. It's about hard work. It's about getting pucks to the net and getting his nose dirty in all areas. He's a decent centerman for those guys who like to move the puck around. He made room for those guys. He opened up some passing lanes.''
The thing that made Campbell effective during his promotion was that he didn't change his game. The Bruins needed some grit and snarl on the line to increase puck possession and create scoring chances. Campbell went about his straight-line business in the usual fashion.
In the first period, Campbell filled the crease and jammed a backhander on goal. Justin Peters stopped Campbell's shot, but Marchand crashed the net and scored on the rebound to give the Bruins a 2-0 lead at 7:58. It was the first of Marchand's two goals.
Campbell picked up his second assist early in the second period. First, Campbell rotated up to the right point to cover for Andrew Ference, who had tracked down low. Campbell snapped a pass to Dennis Seidenberg. Seidenberg's shot ticked off Ference and hit the back of the net at 3:57, giving the Bruins a 4-0 lead.
There was nothing pretty about Campbell's game save for the results.
"Those two are easy to play with,'' Campbell said.
"I'm not taking anything away from my usual linemates. Everybody brings a different skill set on this team. Those guys are pretty unique. They're gifted offensively.
"They make space for you. They do some really creative things on the ice. It's more about reading off them, giving them space, and letting them do what they do.''
The Bruins need big-game performances from players such as Campbell to help them bridge this final stretch toward the playoffs, when the energy should rise once more.
Fourth-line wing Jordan Caron, who had been a regular healthy scratch, punched in his first goal of the season. Ference doesn't linger in the offensive zone very often, but the stay-at-home defenseman was in position to deflect Seidenberg's shot in the second.
The Bruins needed their hard hats. Carolina dropped its fifth straight game. Injuries have ripped the Hurricanes apart. They were without Cam Ward, Joni Pitkanen, Justin Faulk, and Alexander Semin – skilled players at every position.
The JV Hurricanes still managed to make life difficult on the Bruins. In the first period, when the Bruins had yet to find their legs, the Hurricanes swarmed Rask.
When the Bruins coughed up the puck, Rask (18 saves in the first 20 minutes) had to use every piece of his equipment to keep his net clear.
"I didn't think we were very good in that area,'' Julien said of his team's defense.
"We're not at our best defensively. But this is a team that will expose you more with their aggressive forecheck from all five guys sitting right on top of you. That exposed us tonight, no doubt about that.
"We've got to get better in that area. Tuukka really played a solid game for us tonight and probably covered a lot of the mistakes on the damage they could have done.''

Electricity is about $0.20/kWh (maybe for a big bulk consumer, it gets down to the $0.10/kWh range) Figure a node draws 400w, and you can stack 20 nodes in a rack, which occupies 10 square feet (need to have room to stand in front of the rack, etc.) So each node is costing $144/20= $7.20/yr in rent and 0.4*8000*0.2 = $640/yr in electricity. The rent is tiny compared to utilities. $2K/node seems plausible (3* utility cost), but that doesn't include any of the infrastructure costs (racks, cables, installation, copies of Windows Server edition, etc.). If the real power draw is more like 200W, and you don't run them 24/7, then you're getting down to the $100/yr/node costs..

Minnesota Races Past UNLV 51-23 In Season Opener
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota's Marcus Jones returned the second half kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown and the Gophers pulled away for a 51-23 victory over UNLV on Thursday, the 23rd loss in a row on the road for the Rebels.
Minnesota, which scored twice on special teams, turned a tight game into a romp without any scoring by the offense for the first 23-plus minutes after the intermission. Ra'Shede Hageman blocked a field goal that Martez Shabazz picked up and raced for a 78-yard touchdown in the third quarter, and Briean Boddy-Calhoun scored on an 89-yard interception return in the fourth.
UNLV's Tim Cornett rushed 20 times for 82 yards, including a 26-yard touchdown run to cap a commanding opening drive for the Rebels. Shaquille Murray-Lawrence gained 108 yards on four carries for UNLV, which last won away from Las Vegas was Oct. 24, 2009, at New Mexico.

Three Oregon basketball players who were investigated but not charged in an alleged sexual assault have been dismissed from the team.
The school announced at a press conference Friday that the players, 19-year-old Damyean Dotson, 19-year-old Dominic Artis, and 18-year-old Brandon Austin, were suspended because their conduct was not befitting student-athletes based on allegations made by a student who said she was assaulted by the players at a postgame party and at an apartment in early March.
The Lane County district attorney's office that investigated the allegations determined that there was not enough evidence to prosecute the players on criminal charges.
While Oregon was informed of the allegations, school and team officials were asked not to take action so as not to interfere with the police investigation. Two of the athletes subsequently played in NCAA tournament games for the Ducks.

The devs from Propaganda Games (the 2008 version of Turok) describe the multiplayer world players will have the opportunity to dive into in this video, detailing how they've worked hard to make it difficult for gamers to tell if they're playing against a human opponent or Tron's AI.
Tron: Evolution is being developed for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows PCs. The game is set to ship on December 7. Tron: Legacy, the movie the game is tied into, is set for a December 17 release.
Sharkey says: Yup, I'm a Tron geek, and I'm hoping the game and the movie live up to my expectations. I'm not holding my breath, though, particularly for the game. Propaganda's take on Turok was a hefty serving of meh and the studio has since been hit with major layoffs and had its other major project, a Pirates of the Caribbean game, canceled. Fingers crossed for some fun light cycle and disc chucking action, though.

- This event has passed.
Meat + Beer Pairing
Thu 31 May @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm£25
Who's Attending
13 people are attending Meat + Beer Pairing
There are definite parallels between the British craft beer revolution and its cured meat counterpart. Both are driven by passionate people who delight in producing stunning products in small batches. They love their craft, they love building teams of like-minded people, they love growing a business, and they love to talk about what they do.
So come and join us on these slightly indulgent (and fun!) evenings where we pair the meats and the beers to show off their stunning flavour combinations – maybe some air-dried loin followed by a light hoppy IPA, or a rich blood, wine and chocolate salami married with a dark porter. You get the picture.
During the course of the evening you'll be guided through 5 courses of meat and beer pairings which will stimulate the tastebuds and delight the senses. All 5 beer and meat tasters are included in the price of the ticket.
The 'formal' part of the evening will last about an hour and a half, after which there'll be an opportunity to indulge in more beers from the bar and platters of the finest British cured meat, cheese, pickles and bread. A perfect way to while away a Thursday evening.
The event starts at 19:00. You'll find us tucked behind Borough Market, at the back of Jubilee Place, which is off Winchester Walk.

Our trips come in two styles: Basix and Original. Both offer the same by way of activities, inclusions and grassroots immersion – the only difference is the accommodation.
While always clean, cheerful and well located, Basix lodgings are fairly no-frills and for those travelling on a budget. Original-style trips offer a higher standard of comfort to relax in after a big day's adventuring.
Basix Accommodation
Depending on the region you're travelling in, Basix trips stay in either shared permanent tents at established campsites –some powered, some not – or in dorm-share accommodation. Sleeping bags are required on Basix trips – bring your own or purchase from us in advance – and some regions also feature the option of sleeping under the stars in a swag (a waterproof canvas bedroll, with a built in mattress).
Original Accommodation
Original-style camping is in shared permanent twin-share tents that feature cosy beds, wooden floors, full linen, lighting, power points, a bedside table and fans. In some places, twin-share hostel/motel rooms are the go. Those travelling solo aren't charged any extra if they're happy to room-share with someone of the same gender. For those who'd prefer their own room, single supplements are sometimes available.

PHOENIX – As schools begin implementing Arizona's Common Core Standards, a set of nationally developed principles guiding math and language arts education, state leaders unveiled a website Wednesday to teach educators and the community about the new guidelines.
Arizona adopted the Common Core Standards in 2010. Schools across the states are beginning to implement them, as the standards must be fully in place by the 2013-2014 school year.
"Arizona Common Core Standards not only improve what students learn, but how they learn, bringing teachers back to the fun and rewarding aspects of the profession they love," Gov. Jan Brewer said.
The Arizona Department of Education has trained more than 14,000 educators at over 400 training sessions, but there is still a long way to go to prepare Arizona's approximately 70,000 teachers to make the changes.
"As much training as the department has done so far, we've only scratched the surface," said John Huppenthal, state superintendent of public instruction.
According to Huppenthal, over 75 percent of districts and charter schools have sent staff to training sessions. The state's model on preparing schools involves sending those staff back to train others. The department is also holding six webinars a month that are open to all teachers.
Still, implementing the changes could be difficult for schools that already have stretched budgets. Higher standards and new practices, such as replacing the AIMS test with the PARCC test given by computer require new resources and training, and it is unclear where the funding will come from.
"As Arizona has passed several reforms that have raised the bar, we do need to take a look at resources and how to make sure that those higher expectations are well supported," said Pearl Chang Esau, president and CEO of Expect More Arizona, an education advocacy group.
Huppenthal said that budget constraints won't interfere with implementation of the new standards.
"Can we roll out the common core within the current resource restraint? Absolutely we can," Huppenthal said. "Would we like to have more resources? Oh, you better believe it. But we're prepared to operate under multiple environments and get the mission accomplished."
State leaders say they are also leveraging partnerships with groups including Expect More Arizona, the Center for the Future of Arizona, Intel, Rodel Foundation of Arizona and the Greater Phoenix Economic Council.
"In era of scarce resources, partnerships are absolutely critical," Huppenthal said.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Every flu season, health officials warn that people with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable to severe flu infections, but a new study shows that more than 40 percent of flu-infected kids who die have no other chronic health problems.
The findings, from researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), emphasize the importance of everyone who is eligible getting vaccinated against flu, experts said.
"Many people don't recognize that a healthy child could be at risk for these severe complications," Dr. Karen Wong, the study's lead author, said.
"Every child may be at risk and every child six months and older should get a flu shot this time of year," she added. Wong is a medical officer at the CDC in Atlanta.
She and her colleagues write in Pediatrics that between 54,000 and 430,000 flu-related hospitalizations and 3,000 and 49,000 deaths occur in the U.S. every year.
Since October 2004, the CDC has kept track of the number of flu-related deaths among U.S. children and teens. During that time, there were 830 flu-related deaths among people younger than 18 years old.
The average age of the children who died was seven years old, but 40 percent of the deaths occurred among children between nine and 17 years old.
"We saw newborns and teenagers," Wong said. "So any age can really be at risk."
The researchers were able to examine the medical records of 794 of the youngsters who died. Of those, 33 percent had diseases affecting the nervous system and 12 percent had genetic or chromosomal conditions that are known to dispose people to severe reactions when they're infected by the flu.
But another 43 percent had no chronic medical conditions that would put them at high risk for complications.
"It's actually not possible to tell from this study why these previously healthy children had such a severe outcome," Wong said. "But one thing I think this study can tell us is that most children in this study did die very quickly."
On average, otherwise healthy children were more likely to die of the flu within three days of the first symptoms and before they were even admitted to a hospital.
It's not yet possible to sort out which healthy children may or may not have a severe reaction to the flu, Dr. Jon Abramson said. He's chair of the Department of Pediatrics at Wake Forest Baptist Health in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
"It does appear to be some genetic factor that makes you at higher risk," Abramson, who wasn't involved in the new study, said.
About 40 percent of all the children who died also had a bacterial infection in addition to the flu, often in the form of pneumonia.
Also, the researchers found that only a small number of the children and teens had received their flu shots. Among the healthy kids who died, just 9 percent had had a vaccine.
In comparison, 22 percent of high-risk kids had been fully vaccinated.
With few exceptions, the CDC recommends that everyone six months old and older be vaccinated against the flu.
This year, a new four-strain vaccine is approved for kids but expected to be in limited supply. Experts say if only the usual three-strain version is readily available, it's more important to get children vaccinated as soon as possible rather than waiting for the new vaccine (see Reuters Health story of September 3, 2013, here:).
"Don't take (the) chance that your child - because they're healthy - is not going to get hospitalized or die because of the flu," Abramson said.
He added that pregnant women should get the flu shot to protect themselves as well as their newborns.
"Children who are younger than six months old are too young to be vaccinated," Wong said. "Vaccinating the pregnant mom is recommended so some of that protection can be passed onto that newborn."
Abramson also said that children who are experiencing breathing problems or confusion should be taken to the hospital.
"The best way to protect your family is to get a flu vaccine every year," Wong said, adding that people can find additional information on the CDC's website (cdc.gov/flu).

Music Industry Paper With '50 Years' At The 'Forefront' Of The Business Details Sentencing Of 'Copyright Thief'
from the we've-made-it-50-years-without-an-editor-and-we're-doing-just-fine dept
I'm not in any hurry to call out the average person for the abuse of IP terminology. For many people, a copyright is a trademark is a patent. It all means a way of legally stating "I made this." But they're certainly not interchangeable terms, especially not when you're in the business of reporting on developments in IP-related cases. AFP, the world's third-largest newspaper, did exactly that while reporting on Kim Dotcom's threatened patent lawsuit earlier this year, claiming the Mega man was suing Google and others for copyright infringement.
A regrettable mistake to be sure. Even if the article was farmed out to a low-level staffer, it still behooves the news agency to ensure its writers do a minimum of fact-checking when using unfamiliar terminology. Regrettable, almost forgivable, but still disappointing.
What we have in front of us today is inexcusable. MusicWeek, an industry paper with "50 years" experience at the "forefront of the music business" under its belt, recently delivered this dumbfounding headline.
Copyright thief given 18-month prison sentenceFor (what assuredly won't be) the last time, you can't steal copyright. You can infringe, but you can't steal. And when people use the word "theft" in these situations, they're usually referring to infringing copies of content, not copyright itself. (Also: infringement isn't theft, no matter how much the MPAA's lawyers wish it to be...) MusicNews has dumped out a headline that makes it appear as though the perp somehow hacked copyright registrations in order to list himself as the rights holder.
The article does go on to use the correct terminology (copyright infringement) but that's only because it's copying from a sentencing report -- and only after it repeats its claim of "copyright theft."
A man who was found to be in possession of one of the largest hauls of hi-tech equipment for use in copyright theft ever found in the UK has been sentenced to 18 months in prison.So, as is cleared up later in the article, this was a counterfeiting operation. Tamkin burned games, movies and music to blank discs as one of (apparently) several criminal activities. The rest of the article is filled with statements from BPI (the UK's RIAA) and the Sussex police, congratulating each other on their fine work in shutting down Tamkin.
The sentence was handed to 52-year-old Keith Tamkin from Bognor yesterday (December 3) after previously pleading guilty to six offences - one offence of distributing articles infringing copyright, two of money laundering a total of £140,000, one of transferring criminal property - a computer - and two of possessing prohibited weapons – a pepper spray and a stun gun.
Tamkin's shuttered operation proves that people will still pay money for content, contrary to industry claims. (The laundering money charge suggests Tamkin wasn't doing this for free.) It just appears pricing is still an issue.
But returning to the original thrust of this post -- using terminology this poorly isn't excusable for an AFP intern, much less an industry-focused publication. I realize entities like the RIAA and MPAA would prefer to use the term "theft" rather than "infringement," but this desire shouldn't be indulged by reporters covering these industries. Using the industries' favored terminology to cobble together such a broken and nonsensical headline is inexcusable and it does no favors to the site publishing it or the industries it's trying to serve.

We do pretty much the same thing for MPI_Send and MPI_ISend for small packets: they're nearly on the wire when the routine returns, and the subsequent MPI_Wait is a no-op. This is actually pretty common among MPI implementations. The problem with trying to generalize about what MPI calls do is that different implementations do different things with them.

Hi my name is Tacha and I am part of the Fat Quarterly team and I'm super excited to be here on the Moda Bake Shop to share my latest recipe!
Pillows are a weakness of mine. I love making them and could happily deck every piece of furniture and even cover the floor with pillows given half the chance. Somehow or other all my pillows usually get commandeered by someone else. Our cat Noodles has taken a fancy to this particular one – probably because of the pom pom trim!
I called this pillow Il Cuscino as the black and white, and, red and white, check prints remind me of the fabric used for the chef's trousers or aprons in some Italian pizzerias. Il cuscino simply means the pillow in Italian!
1 Charm pack of Reunion by Sweetwater
Fat eighth of black and white check print (Ink 5478 18)
Fat eighth of red and white check print (Cherry 5478 12)
Fat quarter of white solid
Pom Pom trim
22" square piece of batting
½ yard of backing fabric ( I used strips from Reunion)
1 yard of lining fabric
Cutting Instructions:
From the charm pack cut:
45 squares 1 15/16"
18 squares 3"
From the black and white check print cut:
32 squares 1 7/8" cut in half diagonally
From the red and white check print cut:
40 squares 1 7/8" cut in half diagonally
From the white solid cut:
18 squares 3"
18 squares 1 7/8" cut in half diagonally
From the lining cut:
20" square
1 piece 14" x 18 1/2"
1 piece 10" x 18 1/2"
From the backing fabric cut:
1 piece 14" x 18 1/2"
1 piece 10" X 18 1/2"
The pillow is made up of 1 block repeated 9 times.
Make the half square triangles
Draw a line down the diagonal on the wrong side of each of the white squares.
Put a white 3" square and a print 3" square right sides facing. Sew ¼" away from the diagonal line on both sides of the line. Cut along the line. Open, press and trim each half square triangle to 2 ½" square.
The pillow front is made up of 9 blocks. There are 5 print 1 15/16" squares and 4 HST squares in each block. Have fun trying out different combinations until you are happy with the layout of prints in each block.
Sew the Block
Take the print 1 15/16" square that will be the centre of the block and 4 of the triangles made by cutting the white 1 7/8" squares in half diagonally. Sew the triangles to the sides of the print square.
Press and trim away the ears.
Take the remaining 4 print 1 15/15" squares and 16 of the triangles made by cutting the red or black check print 1 7/8" squares in half diagonally. Sew these to the sides of the print squares.
Sew the block together in rows as shown.
Repeat to make 9 blocks. 5 of the blocks will use red check print and 4 blocks will use the black check print. Arrange the blocks in a 3 x 3 layout. Sew the blocks together in rows.
Layer the quilt top, batting and lining fabric and baste in place. Quilt as desired. I stippled all over the quilt top. Trim the pillow top to 18 1/2" square.
Make the pillow
Place the backing 14" x 18 1/2" and lining 14" x 18 1/2" pieces together right sides facing and sew down one of the 18 1/2" edges. Open so wrong sides are facing and topstitch along the same edge.
Repeat for the backing and lining 10" x 18 1/2" pieces.
Cut 4 lengths of pom pom trim about 2" longer than each side of the pillow. Pin in place along the sides of the pillow, allowing the ends to overlap the edge of the pillow. Baste in place about 1/8" from the edge.
Place the pillow backing pieces and pillow front together, right sides facing, with the pillow back pieces overlapping. Sew all around the pillow. Use a zig zag stitch to prevent fraying.
Turn your pillow right side out. Press and stuff with your 18" pillow form.
18″ square pillow.

Dreamt.it for iPhone - Capture and Share Your Dreams Before They Fade
After doing a search on dreams, I've found that dreams are like a bunch of things that are either somewhat plausible, or make no sense whatsoever. Whatever they are, the first step is to remember what you dreamt about in the first place. Dreamt.it does just that and prompts you to capture and share your dreams while they are fresh.
Dreamt.it acts as a silent 'before your alarm clock' alert that is displayed on your screen. Swiping the alert takes you right to the app where you can quickly record a voice recording using Siri, or type a quick message. The whole point is to quickly recall your dream for it starts to fade, so the app only gives you a couple of moments to record your thought.
After capturing your dream, you can choose to publicly share them via Twitter or Facebook, which will prompt the app to anonymously post your shares to the Dreamt.it feed for others to view.
So, if feel that:
"Dreams are like stars...you may never touch them, but if you follow them they will lead you to your destiny."
"Dreams say what they mean, but they don't say it in daytime language" What?
...At any rate, check out Dreamt.it for iPhone and decide for yourself what your dreams mean.

Boeing Co's 787 Dreamliner jet suffered a cracked cockpit window and an oil leak on separate flights in Japan on Friday - the latest in a series of incidents testing confidence in the sophisticated new aircraft.
All Nippon Airways Co said a domestic flight from Tokyo landed safely at Matsuyama airport in western Japan after a crack developed on the cockpit windscreen, and the plane's return to Tokyo was cancelled.

The same airline later said oil was found leaking from an engine of a 787 Dreamliner after the plane landed at Miyazaki airport in southern Japan. An airline spokeswoman said it later returned to Tokyo after some delay. No one was injured in either incident.
The world's first carbon-composite airliner, which has a list price of $207 million, has been beset by problems this week. Some analysts say these are normal teething issues as a new plane enters service under close scrutiny. Others say the incidents could erode public confidence in the mould-breaking aircraft.
U.S. transportation officials will hold a press conference in Washington at 0930 EDT (1430 GMT) to discuss issues related to recent electrical problems on the new plane, one person familiar with the matter told Reuters. Bloomberg News said the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration would announce a review into the jet's power system.
U.S. regulators have raised questions about the plane's reliability on long transocean routes, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The 787 Dreamliner made its first commercial flight in late-2011, after a series of production delays put deliveries more than three years behind schedule. By the end of last year, Boeing had sold 848 Dreamliners, and delivered 49.
Earlier this week, a battery fire caused damage to an empty 787 jet operated by Japan Airlines while it was on the ground at Boston airport. [ID:nL1E9C745S] The next day, another JAL 787 spilled 40 gallons of fuel onto the taxiway at the same airport after a problem that caused a valve to open, forcing the plane to delay its departure. On Wednesday, ANA cancelled a domestic Dreamliner flight due to a brake-control computer glitch.
Boeing's top Dreamliner engineer, Mike Sinnett, was rolled out midweek to defend the 787, saying the plane's problem rates were no higher than with Boeing's successful 777 jet.
ANA said crew noticed a spider web-like crack in a window in front of the pilot's seat about 70 minutes into Friday's flight, which was close to its destination.
"Cracks appear a few times every year in other planes. We don't see this as a sign of a fundamental problem" with Boeing aircraft, a spokesman for the airline said.
On the later flight, the ANA spokeswoman said she could not specify how much oil leaked from the engine.
Later on Friday, ANA - which, with JAL flies 24 of the 49 Dreamliners delivered to end-December - launched its maiden service between Tokyo's Narita Airport and San Jose, California with the Dreamliner.
Jun Akiyama, a plane enthusiast who was taking photos at the airport ahead of the San Jose departure, said: "It's worrying. If there was a major accident lives would be at stake, and these defects are only increasing fears."
But Yasushi Uesaka, a systems engineer from Osaka who was also taking pictures nearby, played down the incidents. "When new things come out, there will naturally be defects. That a lot of these defects didn't occur during flight means they're not too critical, I think."
In India - where state-owned Air India has taken delivery of six Dreamliner jets and has more on order - a senior official at the aviation regulator said there was concern at the recent spate of Dreamliner glitches. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has not ordered any Dreamliner checks for now, but is waiting for a safety report from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, the official said.
Air India spokesman K. Swaminathan said the airline's debut Dreamliner flight to Paris on Thursday went without a hitch.
One of Boeing's chief innovations with the 787 is its use of electrical power to run on-board functions such as hydraulics and air conditioning, instead of relying on heavier pneumatic systems used on other planes. The weight savings make the 787 more fuel efficient, a big advantage for airlines battling high jet fuel costs.
To power the electrical system, the 787 uses generators attached to the plane's engines, which produce about 1.5 megawatts of power, enough to power about 300 hot water heaters. The system uses high-voltage distribution panels and powerful batteries, such as the one that caught fire in Boston on Monday.
Makoto Yoda, president of Japanese battery maker GS Yuasa Corp, which makes the Dreamliner batteries, said his company was looking into Monday's fire, and was sending a team of engineers to cooperate with the U.S. investigation.

A history of HUS: HDS's file-development hustle
NAS replacement issues ...
Hitachi Data Storage's new unified storage – HUS – has had an involved file storage background, according to channel sources.
In the post-millennium years, HDS had its AMS2000 (Hitachi model name: DF600F) mid-range block array and Essential NAS (eNAS) filer. Back in 2010/2011, our source says, Hitachi in Japan was going to replace the AMS with Hitachi Unified Storage (HUS) and have an eNAS front-end layered on it to provide NAS access – with HUS as the storage array behind eNAS, providing FC, FCOE and iSCSI block access. The eNAS front-end development codename was Arkansas.
Our channel insider says HUS – device model DF850 and codenamed Blackstone – was scheduled for a February 2012 release by Hitachi. So too was Arkansas, and most management UI integration between Arkansas and Blackstone was complete by autumn 2011.
However HDS (which sells all Hitachi storage products outside Japan) went and bought BlueArc in September 2011, after the two firms had a reseller relationship where HDS sold lots of BlueArc kit. The BlueArc product set became HNAS and was positioned above the Essential NAS product. There are three HNAS boxes: the 3200, 3090 and 3080.
In January 2012, we were told, HDS made a decision to kill Arkansas, dropping the eNAS front-end idea, and postponing Blackstone until more BlueArc integration could be done, integrating HUS and HNAS somehow.
Presumably the idea was to bolt an HNAS head on to HUS as a NAS front end with HUS drives providing both file and block storage. This has not come to fruition and you can, we are told, stick HNAS 3080 or 3090 NAS heads on top of HUS, in the same way that you can stick them as NAS heads on top of SMS and VSP.
Hitachi Japan did not kill eNAS. So now the HUS management interface Hitachi Command Suite HCS) has to support both the eNAS and HNAS (BlueArc) product. HCS has now become the single management facility for all of the HDS storage products. It is on a six-month release cadence.
HUS is being announced today, and we are told:
- HUS and HNAS have different replication protocols;
- HUS and HNAS have different snapshot mechanisms; and
- HUS and HNAS have different configuration utilities.
The management software combination efforts have generated a link 'n' launch URL between the HUS management GUI and the HNAS Management GUI. There are efforts inside Hitachi to integrate the two management GUIs but there is no release data for any such unified HUS/HNAS management facility, our sources say.
HCP, HDS's Content Platform, which stores objects, can use either AMS or VSP as its storage vault and will be able to use HUS as well some time in 2012. However, there will be no deep or close HUS management and HCP management integration when that happens, and it will most likely come along later. ®

Where: Staples Center When: 12:30 p.m. TV: ABC
The Clippers haven't played since suffering a clunker of a loss Wednesday to the Memphis Grizzlies, who have become something of a fierce rival since last season's playoff series. The Clippers sought to cement their playoff status during the stretch run, starting with Sunday's game.
Caron Butler was back in the Clippers' starting lineup after missing time because of a strained left elbow, but Eric Bledsoe was sidelined by a sort left calf. The Clippers' injuries were relatively minor compared to what the Knicks were dealing with lately.
Tyson Chandler (bruised left knee), Carmelo Anthony (injured right knee), Amare Stoudemire (injured right knee) and Rasheed Wallace (broken left foot) were out, leaving the Knicks vulnerable to the Clippers' play around the basket.
Blake Griffin went into the game averaging a team-leading 18.7 points for the Clippers, and Chris Paul averaged 16.6 points and a 9.6 assists. Anthony is averaging 27.5 points for New York, but without him the Knicks' leading scorer is J.R. Smith with an average of 16.7 points.

Love the Glove: Glove Use in Hospitals Appears to Cut Risk of Needlestick Injury
August 10, 2010
Adapted from:
Wearing gloves reduces the risk of injury by needles and sharp medical devices, or sharps injuries, by about 66 percent, according to a new study by Canadian and U.S. researchers. Double-gloving brought the risk down further, by about 80 percent.
In case-crossover analyses, gloves reduced injury risk (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 0.33 [95 percent CI, 0.22-0.50]. Among scrubbed individuals, "involvement in an orthopedic procedure was associated with double-gloving at injury (adjusted odds ratio, 13.7 [95 percent CI, 4.55-41.3]); this gloving practice was associated with decreased injury risk (IRR, 0.20 [95 percent CI, 0.10-0.42])."

Neal has concussion; Letang practicesby Sam Kasan / Pittsburgh Penguins
Penguins winger James Neal has been diagnosed with a concussion.
While Bylsma said Neal has improved, there is no timetable for his return to the ice.
"James obviously got buttoned in the game, we all could see that," Bylsma said. "He's been feeling a lot better and feeling pretty good, but you just don't know with these types of injuries. We'll take it day-by-day going forward and no further than that."
Neal was elbowed in the head by New York Rangers defenseman Michael Del Zotto halfway through the third period of Pittsburgh's 2-1 shootout victory Friday night at CONSOL Energy Center.
Neal, 25, remained on the ice following the hit. He was able to skate off on his strengths after being attended to by head athletic trainer Chris Stewart and did not return in the game.
Kris Letang, who has missed the past five games with a lower-body injury, returned to team practice Monday at Southpointe.
"I'm feeling good," Letang said. "It's exciting to be back and practicing with the boys."
Letang did not have an update on when he could return to the ice.
"I don't know, it'll be up to the coach," he said. "There's no rush to get back, but at the same time it's a short season. I want to start playing, being healthy and ready to go for the playoffs.
"We'll see how I feel (Tuesday) and go from there."
In Neal's absence the Penguins used the following line combinations:

What I was saying there is that GPs don't have the time, resources, or infrastructure to suddenly take over all the functions of PCTs next year while carrying on with their day jobs. So, naturally, they will be looking to contract out the commissioning function. But this is just one aspect of the overarching drive towards privatisation.
Something worth remembering when considering GP consortia is that these are consortia of GP practices, not individual GPs. And GP practices are no longer partnerships of equals but increasingly becoming small businesses which differ from the larger healthcare companies purely in size. The last Labour government introduced the idea that GP practices were not partnerships of GPs by removing the need for a certain number of GP partners for a given number of patients (or rather a given amount of money). Instead they were to be treated as small businesses contracted to provide GP services. This has lead to GP services being increasingly provided by salaried GPs (who are usually more recently qualified GPs) employed by the GP practices which are owned by GP partners (who are usually older GPs). Since these changes were brought in the majority of jobs available for newly qualified GPs are salaried positions and not partnerships.
So general practice has moved from being an ostensibly private but effectively collectivised system of equals (at least as far as medical staff go, the position of ancillary staff was different) to become a business like any other - the older generation of GPs have taken advantage of the new rules to become small businessmen increasingly acting as employers and screwing profit out of employees rather than acting as traditional family doctors while the newer generation of GPs become wage slaves. It won't be long before the traditional GP practice disappears (as the old partners retire and sell on their stake in the small business they own) as they are swallowed up by larger healthcare businesses - and then who is going to control the NHS budget? It won't be the workaday GPs who will just be employees of these big companies. **Poof** de facto privatisation.
The words of Liz Kendall (Labour) from the Commons debate on the upcoming NHS cluster-fuck (via Dr Grumble):
Our health and our NHS are not the same as gas, electricity or the railway. That the Secretary of State believes that they are shows how dangerously out of touch he is. What is the likely result? GPs will be forced to put local services out to tender even if they are delivering good quality care that patients choose and like; hospitals and community services will be pitted against one another when they should work together in patients' interests; care, which as many hon. Members have said is vital as our population ages and there is an increase in long-term conditions, will become more and not less fragmented; the financial stability of local hospitals will be put at risk, and they will have no ability to manage the consequences of choice and competition in the system; and the whole system will be tied up in the costs of red tape, as GPs and hospitals employ an army of lawyers and accountants to sign contracts and fight the threat of legal challenge, huge fines and the potential of being sued. Let us also be clear that the Bill gives Monitor the same functions as the Office of Fair Trading, so it can fine organisations up to 10% of their turnover.
The more we see of the Bill, the more the truth becomes clear. The Secretary of State says that he wants clinicians to be more involved, and "no decision about me without me" for patients, but when the Royal College of General Practitioners, the Royal College of Surgeons, the Royal College of Nursing, the Royal College of Midwives, the British Medical Association or anyone else tells him that he should stop, think again and halt his reckless NHS plans, he refuses to listen. When the Alzheimer's Society, the Stroke Association and Rethink tell him that his proposals will not give patients a stronger voice and improve public accountability, he simply tells them that they are wrong. When health experts such as the King's Fund warn that driving competition in every part of the NHS will make it more difficult to commission the services that best serve patients' interests, he simply puts his fingers in his ears and walks away. What makes this Secretary of State think that he is right when professional bodies and patient groups know that he is wrong?
Doctors and nurses do not support the Government's plan, patients do not want it, some Conservative Back Benchers and members of the Cabinet do not like it, and the Liberal Democrats hate it. They had the sense last Saturday to see what the hon. Member for St Ives (Andrew George) called the potential catastrophe as far as the future of the NHS is concerned, and to ask for amendments to the Bill. I hope they have the sense to join us in the Lobby tonight.

Covering Telstra's 2.5 million sqm Australian portfolio, the contract sets a record for the largest corporate property services management arrangement in Asia Pacific
SYDNEY, 4 MAY 2010 — Just 45 days after being appointed to a long-term contract to manage Telstra's property services portfolio across Australia, Jones Lang LaSalle and Telstra have successfully transitioned the entire portfolio of 14,000 properties over to the new management system.
In January, Jones Lang LaSalle was appointed to manage Telstra's 2.5 million square metre portfolio across Australia in one of the largest arrangements of this type in the Asia Pacific.
The diverse Telstra property portfolio has now been incorporated into the new management structure, under a co-located Telstra/Jones Lang LaSalle partnership team operating from Telstra's offices throughout Australia.
The transition involved a complex logistical exercise that saw more than 6500 landlords contacted, financial management of 280,000 rental and other invoices changed over to a new payment system and more than 100 staff employed and trained in the management of the portfolio in the one-and-a-half month period that was allocated for the transition.
Jones Lang LaSalle's Australian CEO Stephen Conry said a transition process of this magnitude would normally take anywhere upwards of three months, so to achieve this with zero disruption to Telstra's business operations was a great result.
"Corporate property services management is a large component of the Australian commercial property sector and will get bigger. There is increasing demand from major occupiers for end to end real estate solutions that drives greater efficiency and cost reduction.
"Our new partnership with Telstra is a milestone for our business in Australia and reinforces our strategy of focusing on growing our Corporate Solutions business," Mr Conry said.
Telstra Property Director Vito Chiodo said: "Working closely with Telstra, Jones Lang LaSalle completed the transition quickly and professionally. We now look forward to the next stage of our partnership where we aim to set a new standard for property services in the Australian corporate real estate market and add even greater value to Telstra's business."
"We selected Jones Lang LaSalle because they are a global leader in corporate real estate services. Their ability to deliver global best practice into the Australian market will enable Telstra to optimise the performance of our large and complex real estate portfolio," Mr Chiodo said.
Jones Lang LaSalle was selected after an intensive and competitive selection process. Under the new contract, Jones Lang LaSalle will provide Telstra with an integrated end to end real estate solution. Services to be provided include portfolio strategy, transactions, project management, facilities management, lease administration and sustainability services.
John Forrest, Chief Executive Officer of Corporate Solutions, Asia Pacific highlighted the significance of the appointment.
"The contract sets a new benchmark for the rapidly growing corporate real estate market. Telstra's portfolio is the largest and most complex to come to market not only in Australia, but across the Asia Pacific region.
"Partnering with Telstra not only cements our position as the leader in providing corporate real estate solutions in Australia, but also across Asia Pacific and globally.
"Our selection by Telstra reflects the value and importance of having a consistent, world-class service delivery platform. The investment that Jones Lang LaSalle has made in people, market leading technology, local service capability and delivering global best practice is central to our ability to help our clients meet their business and real estate objectives," Mr Forrest said.
As part of Jones Lang LaSalle's commitment to driving change, Robert Van Bergen will lead the team of more than 70 professionals that will be co-located with Telstra. To take up his appointment Mr Van Bergen is returning to Australia from Singapore after three years leading the Jones Lang LaSalle team servicing its relationship with Microsoft across Asia Pacific.
