I'm All In - City of Hope Campaign
Thursday, August 5, 2010
I was hoping to be going to BlogHer tomorrow and this weekend, but due to personal issues and lack of planning, I am not going to be there this year. (again) (sigh)
If I had gone, I could have worn that cool button (above) and passed out those cool business cards (also above) about the "I'm All In" campaign that I am participating in.
It's all good! I have a couple of places to go this weekend so I'm sure I'll be able to pass out the business cards and spread the word about City of Hope!
I wanted to be a part of this campaign because I've been touched by cancer in my life (both personal and family members) more than once, and I'd love to live to see a cure for ALL cancers. I want my grandkids to ask me what cancer is! I want it GONE! That's why I'm All In!
Did You Know?
Each year, more than 290,000 women will be diagnosed with breast and gynecological cancers and more than 67,000 will pass away from these all-too-prevalent cancers.
About City of Hope:
By lending support to pioneering cancer research and treatment centers such as City of Hope and its women's cancers initiative, we can contribute to breakthroughs in prevention, treatment and survivorship, demonstrating that we're "all in," together.
Based in California, City of Hope's research advances cancer care globally. City of Hope experts know that fighting one women's cancer at a time is not enough – that's why they've taken a unique, multidisciplinary approach to improve treatment and survivorship for women with breast and gynecological cancers. Simply put, the City of Hope women's cancers program aims to help women live longer, better lives, through compassionate care.
There's more!
Stay tuned for an interview or a personal story before the end of this Campaign!
Connect with City of Hope on Twitter: @cityofhope and on Facebook.
I'm All In! Are you?
Disclaimer: I wrote this review while participating in a blogger campaign by Mom Central on behalf of City of Hope and received a $30 Sephora gift card and a $30 donation in my name to City of Hope to facilitate my review."

Taking a look at the numbers, IGB REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (5227.KL) has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 74.98. The CCI technical indicator can be used to help determine if a stock is overbought or oversold. CCI may also be used to help discover divergences that could possibly signal reversal moves. A CCI closer to +100 may provide an overbought signal, and a CCI near -100 may offer an oversold signal.
The 14-day ADX for IGB REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (5227.KL) is currently sitting at 33.99. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would indicate a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would signal a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would indicate an extremely strong trend. The ADX is a technical indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder used to determine the strength of a trend. The ADX is often used along with the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of the trend.
Moving average indicators are used widely for stock analysis. Many traders will use a combination of moving averages with different time frames to help review stock trend direction. One of the more popular combinations is to use the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. Investors may use the 200-day MA to help smooth out the data a get a clearer long-term picture. They may look to the 50-day or 20-day to get a better grasp of what is going on with the stock in the near-term. Narrowing in on Moving Averages, the 200-day for IGB REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (5227.KL) is at 1.66, the 50-day is 1.70, and the 7-day is resting at 1.75. The RSI is computed based on the speed and direction of a stock's price movement. The RSI is considered to be an internal strength indicator, not to be confused with relative strength which is compared to other stocks and indices. The RSI value will always move between 0 and 100. One of the most popular time frames using RSI is the 14-day. The 14-day RSI is presently standing at 61.64, the 7-day sits at 60.42, and the 3-day is resting at 36.08.
Investors may be watching other technical indicators such as the Williams Percent Range or Williams %R. The Williams %R is a momentum indicator that helps measure oversold and overbought levels. This indicator compares the closing price of a stock in relation to the highs and lows over a certain time period. A common look back period is 14 days. IGB REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (5227.KL)'s Williams %R presently stands at -25.00. The Williams %R oscillates in a range from 0 to -100. A reading between 0 and -20 would indicate an overbought situation. A reading from -80 to -100 would indicate an oversold situation.
Some investors may succeed spectacularly in the market while others fail. There is an emotional component to trading and investing which can pose a big obstacle to trading success. Investors frequently try to optimize every decision for success, but sometimes things just don't work out as planned. Consistently beating the market may involve heavy amounts of homework, and a necessary rebalancing of the portfolio. In fast paced markets, indecision can have a drastic impact. Investors may have all the bases covered but fail to make a trade based only on the fear of being wrong. Individual investors may need to conquer self-doubt in order to reach optimal performance when picking stocks. This may not come as easily for some as it does for others. When the market is winning, investors may become too complacent given the ease of gains. Staying on top of the investing scene even when everything is good may help to prepare if conditions change and the climate starts to worsen.

Kansas City Could Host 2016 Republican Presidential Convention
KANSAS CITY (AP) - A Republican delegation will visit Kansas City next week as the party continues to weigh possible locations for its 2016 presidential nominating convention.
Kansas City was chosen last week as one of four finalists for the convention, along with Cleveland, Denver and Dallas.
The Republican National Committee said its Site Selection Delegation will be in Kansas City for three days beginning June 4 to consider venues, hospitality, security and transportation. Members will also meet with local officials to discuss Kansas City's bid.
The campaign to land the GOP convention has been a bistate effort. Donations totaling $260,000 were announced in April by officials of Kansas City and Jackson County, Missouri; Johnson County, Kansas; and the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas.

HARRISBURG - Fallout continues from the stalled effort to generate billions of dollars of new state revenue for road and bridge projects and mass transit.
Lamenting the loss of a construction season, Gov. Tom Corbett sought to blame House Democratic lawmakers Tuesday for the lack of a transportation funding bill.
The House should have passed a transportation bill on a bipartisan vote like the Senate, said Mr. Corbett at an event in Hershey. House Minority Leader Frank Dermody, D-33, Allegheny County, was wrong to tell his caucus members not to vote for it, he said.
"I truly believe the people of Pennsylvania are the losers in the transportation bill not passing the House," said Mr. Corbett.
Mr. Dermody, D-33, Allegheny County, said the governor is wrong to claim he told his caucus not to vote for the bill. He said the GOP-drafted bill before the chamber clearly didn't provide enough money to adequately tackle transportation problems, especially for mass transit.
"If we are going to vote on this, it has to be a (bill) that solves the problem." said Mr. Dermody.
Mr. Corbett set transportation funding, liquor store privatization and public pension reform as three legislative priorities he wanted enacted along with the state budget for fiscal 2013-14. A $28.375 billion budget bill was enacted, but lawmakers were unable to close the deal on the three priorities.
The governor signed a batch of laws Tuesday to sell the former Serrenti Army Reserve Center in Scranton to Scranton School District, add 10 more counties to the human services block grant program, narrow the scope of the "Delaware loophole" that allows businesses to avoid paying the state Corporate Net Income tax and establish a new venture state tax credit to replenish funding for several technology development programs.
Concerning the unfinished transportation issue, a Senate-approved bill would generate up to $2.5 billion annually within five years by lifting the cap on a state wholesale tax on gasoline within three years and increase motorist fees and a surcharge for moving traffic violations. Of that amount, $510 million would go under the Senate bill to 36 mass transit agencies.
A bill approved by the House Transportation Committee would generate up to $2 billion for road and bridge work within five years by lifting the wholesale tax cap within five years. This bill would fund mass transit with a $1 increase in a tire tax, 3 percent vehicle lease fee hike and transfers of some fee revenue from the Motor License Fund.
House Democrats suggested levying a state severance tax on natural gas production to support mass transit.
Mr. Dermody said fee hikes alone won't sustain mass transit needs. GOP leaders were unable to make specific vote commitments despite having a large majority of 111 votes, he said.
The House faces a return to session soon in order to pass one remaining budget-related bill, but Mr. Dermody said that won't provide enough time for a transportation agreement.

Observing Student Connections
|Introduction | Building Viewpoints | Questions and Answers #1 | More Building Viewpoints | Questions and Answers #2 | Observe a Classroom | Classroom Practice | Your Journal
As we look at the Connections Standard, we will consider several aspects of connections in mathematics learning and teaching. We want students to recognize that mathematical concepts connect and build on one another. For example, because students work with rational numbers, proportionality, and linear relations in the middle grades, much of the mathematics curricula at this level will connect to these areas.
Additionally, we should consider how mathematics connects to other subject areas as well as to applications in the world outside the classroom.
Mathematics instruction that focuses on the relationships between concepts helps students develop a deep understanding of those concepts and use mathematics to solve problems. As they see the applications of mathematics in the "real" world, students appreciate the importance of mathematics outside the classroom and its application in solving real-world problems. In a broader sense, making connections is part of the process of learning in any discipline.

Like a lot of Roxio products, Popcorn has always struggled against the fact that it's not really doing anything that can't be done with less expensive and more capable indie applications. Nonetheless, Popcorn has just moved up to version 3.0 and adds several new features to its stable of DVD-Video related tasks. And while there's nothing revolutionary here, there are definitely some extra conveniences. For example, those unwilling to drop a Benjamin on Toast 8 just for TivoToGo features have another option in Popcorn, which can then burn your downloaded shows directly to a compilation DVD. Additional features include being able to recompress Video TS folders to fit on a DVD-R, and the ability to make use of ElGato's hardware H.264 encoder.
Popcorn's biggest drawback is that it still won't decrypt a disc, meaning that you'll still need MacTheRipper to make use of it with just about any DVD you didn't make yourself, a fact not likely to change any time in the near future. As a result, Popcorn will always be a step down from a tool like Handbrake (which was recently given an excellent makeover).
Popcorn is $49 and available now.

With so many books out lately in the girl's point of view, I wanted to highlight a few recently published books that feature a guy's point of view instead. I know the cover art features a girl on each book, but the girls are part of the subject matter, not the perspective.
Give them a try--I liked them all, and I hope you do too!
Burning Blue by Paul Griffin
When the beautiful Nicole Castro becomes the target of an attack with acid splashed on her face, she is left with bad burns on the left side of her face. Most people respond to the former pageant queen with the attitude that she's been ruined, but Jay Nazzaro sees something beyond the beauty, the popularity, and the wealth—he sees another lonely soul looking for a friend. As a friendship develops between Jay and Nicole, he secretly searches for answers about the horrendous attack. Who would attack Nicole, and why? Jay uses his hacker skills to dig deep into the case, but his efforts catch the attention of the attacker in the process. Will he discover the attacker's identity before he becomes the next victim?
Through To You by Emily Hainsworth
When the love of his life, Viv, dies in a car accident, Camden Pike is inconsolable. Two months after the accident, a chance encounter with a girl named Nina reveals a window to a parallel world. More importantly, it's a parallel world where Viv is still alive. Camden is overcome with happiness with Viv back in his life, but not everything is as it seems. Viv looks like the same person, but is she really his Viv? And what secret is Nina hiding from him? With the window to the other world growing smaller and smaller with each passing day, Camden must make a difficult choice before the window of opportunity closes for good.
Timepiece: An Hourglass Novel by Myra McEntire
The sequel to Hourglass, Timepiece is just as much a mind-bending, romantic, paranormal, science fiction rollercoaster ride as Hourglass. In Timepiece, the point of view is switched from Emerson Cole to Kaleb Ballard, which gives the reader an opportunity to see all the characters from a different perspective. This book is just as great as Hourglass, which captivated my attention and kept me reading into the wee hours of the morning. There's quite a bit of back history established in the first book, (which makes summarizing Timepiece difficult with all the plot spoilers...) so I suggest reading Hourglass before Timepiece—it makes for a doubly-enjoyable reading experience!

Next Episode of Last of the Summer Wine is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
Last of the Summer Wine is a British sitcom created and written by Roy Clarke that was originally broadcast on the BBC. Last of the Summer Wine premiered as an episode of Comedy Playhouse on 4 January 1973 and the first series of episodes followed on 12 November 1973. From 1983 to 2010, Alan J. W. Bell produced and directed all episodes of the show. The BBC confirmed on 2 June 2010 that Last of the Summer Wine would no longer be produced and the 31st series would be its last. Subsequently, the final episode was broadcast on 29 August 2010. Tom Owen criticised the BBC for not permitting a special final episode. Roy Clarke, however, stated that he was fully aware this was the last series, and preferred the show to have a quiet ending. The final line was said by Peter Sallis, the longest serving actor. Repeats of the show are broadcast in the UK on Gold, Yesterday and Drama. It is also seen in more than twenty-five countries,including various PBS stations in the United States and on VisionTV in Canada. Last of the Summer Wine is the longest-running comedy programme in Britain and the longest-running sitcom in the world.

Billionaire Offers $65 Million to Any Man Who Can Marry His Married Lesbian Daughter
Would you like $65 million? Are you irresistible to women—all women?
If you answered yes to both these questions you need to get to Hong Kong as fast as you can, because billionaire Cecil Chao Sze-Tsung has an offer you'd be foolish to refuse. The property magnate will give that princely sum to any man who can marry his 33-year-old daughter, Gigi (pictured). The only problem? Gigi is already married—to a lady.
"I don't mind whether he is rich or poor. The important thing is that he is generous and kind-hearted," Sze-Tsung—who refuses to acknowledge his daughter married a woman in April—explained. "Gigi is a very good woman with both talents and looks. She is devoted to her parents, is generous and does volunteer work."
As for Gigi, an architect educated in England, she she told the BBC that she found her father's offer "entertaining."
Good luck, gentlemen. Your future father-in-law sounds like a real treat.

'Alien'-Looking Human Skulls Found in Mexico
(SONORA, Mexico) -- Archaeologists in Mexico have uncovered 25 "alien"-looking human skulls in a cemetery in the northwest state of Sonora, they said Friday.
Some of the skulls showed "deformities," said Cristina Garcia Moreno, who worked on the excavation project with Arizona State University, which analyzed the bones. The bones are about 1,000 years old, dating from 945 A.D. to 1308 A.D.
"This was a Hispanic cemetery with 25 skulls, and 13 of them have deformed heads," Moreno told ABC News Friday. "We don't know why this population specifically deformed their heads."
Moreno said that scientists had found skulls in other parts of Mexico, including Guasave, south of Sonora that also showed similar deformities in certain groups of people. Scientists believe they put beams of wood on the front and back of individuals' heads and wrapped the wood with bands to exert pressure on the skull, Moreno said.
"We know that in some parts of Mexico, people deformed their heads because they wanted to distinguish important people or they wanted to distinguish people from one group from another," she said.
Moreno said that skulls like this had never before been found in Sonora, and that many of the skeletons in the cemetery were those of children.

From the Gulf, a Cry for Help
A coalition of 154 organizations last week sent a letter to the heads of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Health and Human Services, asking them to take immediate action to address the public health crisis on the Gulf Coast triggered by last year's BP oil spill.
The groups that are part of the coalition include public health, environmental, and fisher advocates from across the United States, as well as faith-based organizations.
"We believe action must be taken immediately to help the people of the Gulf coast who are currently suffering health impacts and those who will become ill because of the continuing impacts of the BP oil disaster," the letter stated.
The groups are asking EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to create a Gulf Coast Health Restoration Task Force including members of the affected communities.
They are also calling for implementing the national oil spill commission's health recommendations. Noting that current law lacks the ability to address health hazards from oil spills, the commission's final report called for long-term tracking of responders' health and community health in affected areas. But it also said that such research "cannot overshadow the need to provide immediate medical assistance to affected communities."
In addition, the letter called on the agencies to publish data sheets on health effects from mixing oil and chemical dispersants as well as any other products used in response to the spill, and to comprehensively restore the region's health, economy, and environment.
A Crisis of Democracy:
Real Solutions to the BP Oil Spill
As Facing South reported in "Poisoned in the Gulf," a recent week-long investigative series on the post-BP spill health crisis, there are widespread accounts from throughout the region of health problems linked to the disaster, which resulted in the release of some 200 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf as well as the spraying of almost 2 million gallons of chemical dispersants, both of which are known to damage human health.
Among the symptoms being reported by oil cleanup workers and residents of coastal communities are respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders, vision and memory problems, skin conditions, and bleeding from the rectum and ears.
"This was an unprecedented environmental disaster with never-before-seen quantities of toxic crude oil and dispersants released into our Gulf environments," said Lower Mississippi Riverkeeper Paul Orr. "It is unfathomable that the government has not yet acted to help those that have become ill."
A year after the BP oil spill, the Gulf is still suffering, and residents are mobilizing for change.
- When an oil spill coated birds in San Francisco Bay 40 years ago, he
quit driving. Then he quit speaking. Madeline Ostrander asked him what
he learned in that process that can help us deal with the BP oil spill.
What it's like to respond to an environmental and democratic crisis -- and where we go from here.

Known in the U.S. for its juicy two-burger Big Mac, fast-food chain McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) reportedly plans to open its first vegetarian-only restaurant next year.
Continue Reading Below
The move will take place in India, where the culture is largely comprised of Hindus and Muslims whose religions bar the consumption of beef and pork, respectively.
The Oak Brook, Ill.-based company has been known to tailor its menus to suit local demographics. In India, for example, it already uses chicken instead of beef for its Maharaja Mac sandwich and in Japan it offers the McPork, which can't be found on menus in the U.S.
The first veggie-only restaurant will open in the middle of next year near the Golden Temple in the Sikh holy city of Amritsar in northern India. The company also has plans to open a second outlet near the Vaishno Devi cave shrine in northwestern Indian Kashmir, a holy Hindu temple that sees millions of pilgrims each year.
"It will be the first time we have opened a vegetarian restaurant," a spokesman for McDonald's in northern India, Rajesh Kumar Maini, told AFP. "There is a big opportunity for vegetarian restaurants (in India) as many Indians are vegetarian."
McDonald's did not immediately respond to FOXBusiness.com for a comment.
The move is an effort to expand in India and better relate to the strict diets of customers there. Of the nearly 33,000 restaurants McDonald's has across the world it has just 271 in India.

On the MSc Business and Human Resource Management course you will study the modules listed below, and then choose between completing a dissertation, a synoptic research project or a client project. Please see the course structure chart
Research MethodsThis module will prepare you to undertake effective research drawing upon a range of secondary and primary data sources in preparation for your coursework. You will be introduced to a range of tools required for research including methodological issues, data collection techniques and study skills. This module prepares you for completing high quality, systematic business and management research.
Operations Management: In this module you will develop your understanding of an organisation's ability to deliver goods and services of the quality, quantity and cost that will satisfy customers' needs, while making efficient use of resources. The key principles introduced in this module can be applied to any business sector and function. You will explore the complex relationships between functional areas and the real world of business. Your studies will develop your understanding about how business operations can be most effectively managed. This includes issues of ethics, environmental sustainability, global business, complexity and uncertainty, and continuing professional development.
Introduction to the Principles of Marketing: In this module you will be introduced to the key principles of marketing. You will explore the roles of buyers, the marketing environment, and the ways marketers plan, manage, and monitor marketing programmes in an international environment.
Finance and Accounting for Business: In this module you will develop your critical assessment of corporate financial information from the users' perspective. You will study both financial and management accounting covering three areas: basics (terminology, purposes, users), rules and regulations, and business entities.
Global Strategic Management: Strategic management is the process by which managers formulate and implement strategies to generate high performance. In this module you will develop your understanding of the managerial strategic challenge; how to deliver sustainable competitive advantage. You will engage in critical evaluation of the key strategic issues. You will consider the wider economic environment and explore why strategy is important, how organisations make strategic decisions through the processes of analysis, choice and responsible and ethical management and leadership.
Developing Skills for Business Leadership: Successful leaders have different approaches to their work, sharing a range of diverse personality traits. They are central to a manager's effectiveness and are developed over time and with an awareness of the differing cultural contexts. A key purpose of this module is to encourage you to develop a strong sense of self-awareness of your own strengths and weaknesses as a manager and colleague. In addition, you will develop a range of definable skills which are pivotal to successful management practice. These include decision-making skills, team-working and interpersonal skills and others associated with developing personal effectiveness. You will develop your skills of reflexivity to explore the implications for professional practice. This module helps you develop the confidence to articulate your skills necessary for career development.
Managing the Contemporary Organisation: This module aims to develop your understanding of the principles of leading and managing international contemporary organisations. Although the focus is on contemporary organisations, a historical perspective is a thread that runs through the module to provide a context for current issues and practices in leading and managing organisations. You will explore long term patterns and the extent to which the past can shape the present.
Resourcing, Talent and Performance Management: A major objective of the human resources (HR) function is the mobilisation of a workforce. Organisations can only function if they are able to assemble teams of people with the necessary skills to meet their goals and retain effective performers. In this module you will focus on the practical aspects of recruitment, selection, employee retention and exiting. You develop the knowledge and skills required for resourcing and talent management within a global context. You will gain an understanding of how performance management can support the strategic objectives of an organisation, how the performance of people can be enhanced and inspired by leadership, and how it contributes to high-performance work organisations.
Managing Employment Relations: This will develop your understanding of managing employment relations within a global business. Employment relations is a changing subject which is influenced by external factors (political and economic) and internal factors (management and management style). You will explore the impact of different national environments on employment and the roles of different stakeholders in employment relation systems. You will also critically review employment relations in an organisation and make suggestions to drive improvements to human resource management. This module includes a practical skills workshop.
Capstone Module Choice
You will choose one of the following capstone modules that best suits your academic interests or professional development requirements.
Dissertation: This is an opportunity for you to carry out an in depth investigation into a topic of Business Management which is of particular interest to you. It should have an appropriately clear focus and be an investigation based on primary and/or secondary data, justified and supported by detailed reference to relevant theories and concepts from literature.
Synoptic Research Project: In this module you are expected to integrate, apply and extend the knowledge and skills gained within the core modules of the field. It is conceptualised as a retrospective and integrative academic experience. This module will provide you with a structured opportunity to demonstrate and learn more about the complexity of business and management knowledge by emphasising your capability for synthesis, and applying and connecting the learning gained in core modules of the programme. The module includes the analysis of a substantial case study and an oral viva at the end of the programme.
Client Project: You have the opportunity to link theory to practice by analysing a real organisational issue. Having identified a project (with the approval of both the client company and the Module Leader) you investigate a particular issue, one that can be supported through the relevant literature and by conducting primary research with the client. This module is not an internship but can be taken in conjunction with an internship you have identified and are participating in. The 'issue' in question may be current management problem for the client organisation or related to future strategic choices. The Client Project provides you with a significant learning and personal development experience.
As courses are reviewed regularly as part of our quality assurance framework, the list of modules you choose from may vary from that shown here.
Much of the teaching on the course takes the form of interactive workshops, but there are also lectures from staff and visiting speakers. Lectures, discussions, role-play exercises and seminars are linked with selected case studies and assessments to strengthen your practical analysis and decision-making skills. You will have the opportunity to develop your skills in working as part of a team through structured group assignments.
Each module is assessed individually, generally on the quality of written or visual presentation work, and to some extent on verbal presentations. Assessment methods may include reports, seminar papers, formal written examinations, in-class tests, project work, visual and verbal presentations, workshops, simulations, oral exams (viva) and practical exercises. The majority of assessments are based on individual assignments, but there is some assessed group work.
Oxford Brookes Business School has now moved to its new home at our Headington Campus. The university's Headington Campus have undergone a £30m refurbishment to provide a new home for the Business School, which consists of a lecture theatre, teaching rooms, social learning space and a café. There is a new modern hall for teaching and special events like graduation.
This new home will help us to collaborate even more closely with university colleagues in other departments. It also provides a new Main Hall and a vibrant gateway into the Headington Campus. With these innovative spaces, students and staff can interact and collaborate in first-class facilities.

The majority of our student halls are close to the Headington Campus.
We offer an International Business in Practice Study Trip module. The purpose of this study trip is to give postgraduate students a hands-on, intensive experience with the ideas and practices of global business. The programme will include presentations from local management executives and experts. Students will have direct interaction with management executives and practices through site visits to major corporations and agencies.
This study trip is voluntary and all costs associated with the trip will need to be funded by you. It is not linked to university assessments in any way. If you successfully complete this module you will have the following non-credit bearing module recorded on your transcript: P58335 International Business in Practice: Study Trip.
Whilst the destination and therefore precise costs vary from year to year, as an example, the programme fee of the study trip to Boston USA in July 2019 was £1580, which included 7 nights' accommodation in the Boston area, insurance, the company visits (e.g. Facebook, Dunkin Brands, Trip Advisor, Microsoft, Bank of America), group transportation for all activities and some of the meals, but excluded for example International airfare, Visa application fee (if relevant), dinners and activities during your free time.

Following a wave of user backlash, Instagram says that it will edit its updated terms of service and privacy policy to better clarify what it will and will not do with users' photos.
In a blog post, Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom said that interpretations that the company reserves the right to sell users' photos are not true. Systrom also says that Instagram does not "have plans" to turn user photos into parts of advertisements, and that it will "remove the language that raised the question" about what its terms of service really mean.
"Our intention in updating the terms was to communicate that we'd like to experiment with innovative advertising that feels appropriate on Instagram," wrote Systrom. "Instead it was interpreted by many that we were going to sell your photos to others without any compensation. This is not true and it is our mistake that this language is confusing. To be clear: it is not our intention to sell your photos. We are working on updated language in the terms to make sure this is clear."
The portion of the Instagram terms of service that caused the most "confusion" currently reads: "To help us deliver interesting paid or sponsored content or promotions, you agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos (along with associated metadata), and/or actions you take, in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you."
This language, Systrom says, was merely intended to give Instagram the flexibility "to experiment with innovative advertising that feels appropriate on Instagram." He also says that the company hopes to make it possible for both users and brands to "promote their photos and accounts to increase engagement and to build a more meaningful following."
"Our main goal is to avoid things likes advertising banners you see in other apps that would hurt the Instagram user experience," writes Systrom. "Instead, we want to create meaningful ways to help you discover new and interesting accounts and content while building a self-sustaining business at the same time."
Systrom further reiterates that "Instagram users own their content," Instagram does not; and the photo-sharing service's privacy settings have not changed. "If you set your photos to private, Instagram only shares your photos with the people you've approved to follow you," he writes.
While the current drafts of the Instagram terms of service and privacy policy remain, Systrom says that updates to these documents will be "coming soon."

Incremental Generation
Xpand is now shipped with an optional incremental generation facility. This works very similar to the incremental Java compiler in Eclipse. It detects which parts of a model have changed since the last generation process. It then determines which files need to be generated due to that change and which are unaffected by it. Only the former are the regenerated, while the latter remain untouched.
Big models benefit from this feature. The generation of models with 1000 elements takes 50% of the time without incremental generation.
In large projects, generator speed is an issue, and the backend is designed with performance in mind. This requirement is what actually sparked its development in the first place. For performance and/or obfuscation reasons, the backend will serve as a basis for compilation into Java classes.
The design was driven by the following forces:
- Performance
- Compiler
- Language independence
- Independent of parse tree
- Language interoperability
- Reuse of Tooling
Xpand provides profiler facilities by defining a profiling component. An example workflow using the profiler is shipped with the generator sample project (generatorWithProfiler.mwe).
A lot of enhancements are done for the Xpand editors.
- The navigation of the Xpand editors is improved by more specific navigation proposals
- Extension imports are now hyperlinks to the extension files
- The Xpand project wizard allows a more detailed project configuration
- A lot of other enchantments like markers for missing/not existing metamodels
Further improvements
- ONFILECLOSE: The ONFILECLOSE keyword is added to the EXPAND statement and allows a deferred evaluation of the EXPAND statement. The evaluation of the EXPAND statement is deferred until the FILE statement is closed.
- Java extensions: Since Xpand 0.8.0 non-static Java method can be called from Xtend.
Version 0.7.0 (Galileo)
The 0.7.0 version of the Xpand component from M2T is the first official Eclipse release of it. Xpand is a statically typed template language, featuring polymorphic dispatch, extensions and an open pluggable type system. It comes with Eclipse-based IDE support.
Xpand has previously been a part of openArchitectureWare and is used in many big projects and also shipped with some commercial products.
For the 0.7.0 release, the team has done some major performance improvements. Not only the runtime is up to 60% faster but due to aggressive caching we were able to improve the performance of the static analysis in the IDE about 400%.
IDE features
As this is the first release at Eclipse, some of the UI-features are outlined here.
File decorations
When you open Eclipse and import a project into the workspace you can see several file decorating images.
There are specific images for
- Xpand2 templates (.xpt extension)
- Extension files (.ext extension)
- Check constraints (.chk extension)
When you double-click on one of the above mentioned file types, special editors will open that provide appropriate syntax coloring. Syntax coloring
Here are examples for the Xpand editor:
for the Extensions editor:
and for Check editor:
Code completion
The Editors provide extensive code completion support by pressing Ctrl + Space similar to what is known from the Java editor. Available types, properties, and operation, as well as extensions from .ext files will be found. The Xpand editor provides additionally support for the Xpand language statements. Xpand tag delimiter creation support.
In the Xpand editor there is an additional keystroke available to create the opening and closing tag brackets, the guillemets ("«" and "»").
Ctrl + < creates "«"
Ctrl + > creates "»"

What They Said: Supreme Court Upholds Right to Education Act
India's top court Thursday upheld the Right to Education Act, which makes education free and compulsory for all children between the ages of 6 and 14, and requires schools, including private ones that don't receive any public funding, to set aside places for children from low-income families.
The law requires schools, both public and private, to give one quarter of their places to low-income children. Two judges of the three-bench panel hearing a challenge by more than 30 petitioners ruled that the law didn't violate the constitutional rights of those running private schools. The third judge was in favor of the petitioners.
The bench did make an exemption for private "minority" institutions, like those run by religious groups, saying that the act "infringes on the fundamental freedom" of such schools.
Indian media had different takes on the ruling. Here's a roundup of what some had to say:
More In Education
- Hindus Get Less Education Than Followers of Other Major Religions, Report Says
- Why Are Indians Studying in the U.S. in Record Numbers?
- Chart: Hindus Are the Best Educated Religious Group in the U.S.
- This Is How Indian Universities Rank Globally, Score for Equality
- Why You Need Near-Perfect Exam Scores to Bag a Place at the University of Delhi
- How Are Students From China and India Changing U.S. Colleges?
In a Friday editorial, The Hindu argued that private schools shouldn't view the court's decision as a "loss of prestige." Instead, they should see it as an opportunity to open their doors to students of all social strata, helping them to integrate with others.
"The letter of the law is a far-going reform measure and has the potential to create a generation of Indians who are equipped to participate in nation building."
The editorial said the Supreme Court decision would speed up reforms. It added that government and municipal schools lack infrastructure, while more affluent private schools can rely on advanced teaching methods. This is where RTE would come in. "The RTE rules have provisions to bridge this asymmetry," the editorial says.
"It will take relentless efforts to turn the legislation… into a revolutionary movement," it adds.
The immediate challenge, it noted, lies in the recruitment of teachers, a problem that plagues the Indian education system, with an estimated shortfall of one million teachers.
Continued economic growth should help in allocating the approximately $88.2 billion that the Planning Commission thinks is needed for the implementation of the Right to Education Act over the next five years, the editorial added.
The Indian Express, in an editorial headlined "Learning Curve," said that apart from justice and greater inclusivity, the court's decision would lead to something greater: "A classroom where children from diverse backgrounds learn together is likely to produce a clearer idea of the world than one where the narrow assumptions of home and school reinforce each other."
It says private schools have proved to be more efficient than government schools and are therefore a preferred choice for parents. "Consigning poorer children to a less driven system is unfair, given that educational inequality leads to income inequality later."
The editorial says the judgment is a "strong statement of equity" but affects only a "section of elite schools." This, it says, is an opportunity for government schools to pull their socks up.
"Just as private schools are brought in to share a larger common commitment, government schools should also invite ideas and operational help from the private sector and NGOs."
Firstpost's R. Jagannathan disagrees with the exclusion of private minority institutions and writes that, given the scale of illiteracy and educational disparity, everyone (from state schools, private institutions, aided or unaided schools) should consider the Right to Education Act "as a national mission till we achieve universal literacy."
"There is no scope for minorityism in the business of universalization of education," he says, adding that the "minority institutions should not be given a pass on national priorities – even while they are allowed to maintain their minority characters."
He adds that the idea of inclusiveness calls for better quality teachers who are sensitive to the needs of poor children. But the right infrastructure needs to be in place, he says. "For example, it is fine to talk of child-centric education and 30:1 child-teacher ratios, but the infrastructure for this simply does not exist. We don't have either the classrooms or the teachers for even existing students, leave alone the poor who will now be joining the class."

Thursday's release of the FOMC minutes from the Federal Reserve's December monetary policy meeting threw markets for a loop.
The minutes revealed that several members of the Committee favored halting the Fed's bond buying program - quantitative easing - by the end of this year, given current trends in U.S. economic data.
The revelation about quantitative easing is not inconsistent with the Fed's public commitment in December to maintain ultra-low interest rates at least until the unemployment rate hits 6.5 percent.
However, it gave the impression that the tone within the Federal Reserve is decidedly more hawkish than its recent policy announcement tying the interest rate outlook to unemployment thresholds would suggest.
St. Louis Fed President James Bullard was on CNBC Friday afternoon discussing the Fed's stance on quantitative easing as detailed in the minutes.
CNBC reporter Steve Liesman asked Bullard, given the suggestion that the FOMC could end bond purchases by the end of 2013, when exactly markets could expect such a thing.
Bullard told Liesman:
I think unemployment will continue to tick down through 2013. If you look at the last three years - about seven-tenths per year on the unemployment rate - if we got that this year, we'd be down at 7.1 percent by the end of the year, something like that. That would probably be substantial improvement, and the Committee could think about removing accommodation on the balance sheet side of the policy at that point.
Liesman asked for clarification, and Bullard continued:
If you got down close to 7 percent, then you're within a half a point of your 6.5 percent on the interest rate side, and I think clearly the intention is to pull back balance sheet policy sometime before you would start thinking about raising the rate.
Again, this isn't inconsistent with what was said in the minutes, but it offers a big clue as to when the Fed might decide to pull back from its bond-buying efforts, and defines a bit more clearly what was revealed in the minutes released Thursday.

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." — Martin Luther King Jr., (I Have a Dream: Writings and Speeches That Changed the World, Special 75th Anniversary Edition.)
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15th, 1929 — April 4th, 1968) was an American clergyman, activist, and prominent leader in the African American civil rights movement. In 1955 he led the Montgomery Bus Boycott. In 1957 he helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. In 1963 he led the March on Washington, where he delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and racial discrimination through nonviolent civil disobedience. On April 4th, 1968, he was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. In 1977 he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 1986 the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a U.S. federal holiday and in 2004 Dr. King received the Congressional Gold Medal.
When we think of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we often forget he was a Pro-Life Republican (1) and a Conservative Southern Baptist Preacher (2). As we honor his legacy, let us hear from Dr. King, the Pastor, in his own words, regarding: Parenting, Premarital Sex, Homosexuality and Abortion.
Below are some excerpts from Dr. King's 1957-1958 monthly advice column for Ebony Magazine: (3)
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. On Parenting
"And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." — Deuteronom 6:6-9 (New King James Version)
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." — Proverbs 22:6 (New King James Version)
QUESTION: I was in a home the other day where a three year old child read the riot act to his mother. The mother took it with a sheepish smile. This, I am told, is permissiveness. It seems to me that what modern children need is a large dose of parental permissiveness applied to their backsides. Do you agree?
MLK: It is quite true that many modern parents go too far in allowing their children to express themselves with hardly a modicum of discipline. … This almost "lunatic fringe" of modern child care has been responsible for most strange and fantastic methods of child rearing in many American homes. … The child must realize that there are rules of the game which he did not make and that he cannot break with impunity.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. On Premarital Sex
"Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." — 1st Corinthians 6:18-20 (New King James Version)
QUESTION: I was raised in a Christian environment. My father placed great stress on premarital virginity. I am 29. Of late, I have begun to doubt the validity of his teaching. … Is he right?
MLK: I think you should hold firm to the principle of premarital virginity. The problems created by premarital sex relationships are far greater than the problems created by premarital virginity. The suspicion, fears, and guilt feelings generated by premarital sex relations are contributing factors to the present breakdown of the family. Real men still respect purity and virginity within women. If a man breaks a relationship with you because you would not allow him to participate in the sexual act, you can be assured that he did not love you from the beginning.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. On Homosexuality
"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination." — Leviticus 18:22 (New King James Version)
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God." — 1st Corinthians 6:9-11 (New King James Version)
QUESTION: My problem is different from the ones most people have. I am a boy, but I feel about boys the way I ought to feel about girls. I don't want my parents to know about me. What can I do?
MLK: Your problem is not at all an uncommon one. However, it does require careful attention. The type of feeling that you have toward boys is probably not an innate tendency, but something that has been culturally acquired. … You are already on the right road toward a solution, since you honestly recognize the problem and have a desire to solve it.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. On Abortion
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations." — Jeremiah 1:5 (New King James Version)
"The Negro cannot win … if he is willing to sell the future of his children for his personal and immediate comfort and safety." — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ("The Living King", Ebony, Vol. 41, No. 3, January 1986, Page 63.)
QUESTION: About two years ago, I was going with a young lady who became pregnant. I refused to marry her. As a result, I was directly responsible for a crime. It was not until a month later that I realized the awful thing I had done. I begged her to forgive me, to come back, but she has not answered my letters. The thing stays on my mind. What can I do? I have prayed for forgiveness.
MLK: You have made a mistake. … One can never rectify a mistake until he admits that a mistake has been made. Now that you have prayed for forgiveness and acknowledged your mistake, you must turn your vision to the future. … Now that you have repented, don't concentrate on what you failed to do in the past, but what you are determined to do in the future.
We Will Not Forget
"The church must be reminded that it is not the master or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state. It must be the guide and the critic of the state, and never its tool. If the church does not recapture its prophetic zeal, it will become an irrelevant social club without moral or spiritual authority." — Martin Luther King, Jr., ("Strength to Love," Published in 1963.)
As constant as the northern star, Dr. King's life and legacy point us towards righteousness. We will not forget the biblical values he stood for, fought for and died for. As he stood in the gap between promise and reality, fighting for life and liberty, today the Black Pro-Life Coalition (4) too stands in the gap between life and death, fighting for the life and liberty of pre-born children, fighting to end abortion by restoring a Culture of Life and the Foundation of Family in the Black community.
Personally, From Me To You
"When our days become dreary with low hovering clouds of despair, and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights, let us remember that there is a creative force in this universe, working to pull down the gigantic mountains of evil, a power that is able to make a way out of no way and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows. Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice." — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Where Do We Go From Here?, 1967.
My MLK Favorite Quote: "Ultimately, a genuine leader is not a succor for consensus but a molder of consensus. And on some positions cowardice ask the question is it safe? Expediency asks the question is it politics? Vanity asks the question is it popular? The conscience asks the question is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe nor politics nor popular but he must do it because conscience tells him it is right." — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., from his Grosse Pointe High School speech (5) made twenty-four minutes from my home in Detroit, Michigan at 8:00 P.M. (EDT) on Thursday, March 14th, 1968. Three weeks later King would be gunned down while relaxing on the balcony of a Memphis, Tennessee motel.
Dr. King, personally, I have benefited from your work, I have been moved by your words, I have been strengthened by your death, I am in your debt of love, (6) I will never quit, "I ain't gonna let nobody turn me round," (7) I will believe in the impossible, I "realize the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice," I see the value of "redemptive suffering" and I embrace the principles of nonviolent direct action, (8) I will "trust in the LORD with all [my] heart; and lean not to my own understanding." (9) I know "from whence cometh my help." (10) I will "visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction," (11) I will fight for those who cannot fight for themselves, I will speak for those who have no voice, I will "keep [myself] unspotted from the world," (12) and I will never, ever forget.
Brothers, we really need to talk.
