Heavy rains, flooding kill 24 people in Mali
BAMAKO, Mali — The torrential rains started to fall when Ichaka Sacko was still at work, selling clothes at a bustling market in Mali's capital. He rushed home early, feeling ill at ease.
Before he even reached his door, a neighbor stopped him with the devastating news: His wife and children — ages 4, 6, 8 and 10 — were nowhere to be found.
"Water had gotten into the house, so my wife was taking them outside — one on her back, another in her arms and the two others following closely behind," he said. "But at the door, the children behind her were swept away by floodwaters into the street."
On Thursday, he stood at the entrance to the morgue where their bodies were.
"I have lost everything — my wife and my four children. Even my house," the 40-year-old said as tears welled up in his eyes.
Scores of panicked relatives are crowding morgues in Mali's capital. A government statement read on state television confirmed 24 deaths after Wednesday's storm, though private newspapers were reporting more than 50 killed.
Brehima Dembele, a guard at a morgue in the Korofina neighborhood, said that 20 bodies had been brought there, most of them children. Another four victims had been taken to a nearby hospital.
Few Malians know how to swim in this land-locked African country. Many of the victims lived in mud-walled homes that had collapsed as the floodwaters encroached, while others who died lived in parts of the capital where water drainage systems are non-existent despite an annual rainy season.
Most of Bamako's rutted red dirt roads are best traveled on motorcycle, and lay in disrepair after a tumultuous year that included a rebellion in the north, a coup and a transitional government that struggled to combat an Islamic insurgency. The capital had a population of 1.8 million people even before hundreds of thousands of Malians fled the north for the relative safety and economic promise of the capital.
On Thursday, 15 bodies lay inside the morgue at Korofina's small health center — some wrapped in black plastic bags, others covered with sheets. Fatoumata Djire, 50, came with her cousins in search of her father.
She immediately found his body in the first room beside those of several drowned children. Tears rolled down her face as she quickly began saying the Muslim prayers offered to the dead and left the room.
"My father was in the house when it started to fill up with water. The young people in the neighborhood tried to pull him out with a rope but the current was very strong and the water just kept rising," she said stoically.
He climbed on top of a small wall and awaited help but the rescue never came. Water broke down the wall that was made of mud and he was swept away.
"I am full of sorrow because I was his favorite daughter and he did everything for me," she said.

tracking icon options?
I got an idea that i think might be a nice add on, this comes from my Garmin GPS. Garmin gives you the option to change the tacking icon. (sports car, bikes, cell phones, arrow, and so on) to be able to choose from, instead of the boring blue dot. I think it would be a nice add on. anyway to incorporate that to the software/system?
Re: tracking icon options?
I agree it would be a great flexibility to be able to customize the icon on the map. It's on our list but with low priority. The current icon was carefully designed to bear the stop number and take as less as space as possible. I'll try to squeeze this feature to the dev queue.

Airports' tiniest hotels: Sleeping in a box
By Tim Hume and Eoghan Macguire, for CNN • Published 19th June 2012
View Gallery
11 Pictures
Airports are no place to sleep, as any weary traveler who has tried to grab a few minutes shuteye during a layover can attest.
But that may be changing, thanks to a new breed of short-stay, pay-by-the-hour micro-hotels popping up in airport terminals around the world.
Based loosely on the concept of the Japanese "capsule hotel," these cabins and boxes allow sleepy travelers to seal themselves off from the surrounding commotion for a 30-minute power nap or a solid night's sleep without having to leave the terminal for a hotel. Some even contain toilets and showers.
In recent years, versions of the concept have emerged from London to Moscow and from Philadelphia to Dubai, with other destinations likely to follow this year.
Diana Magnay looks at a novel idea to get 40 winks during a layover.
And they are spreading beyond the airport terminal. Yotel, which operates short-stay "cabins" in airports in London and Amsterdam, has also opened a hotel in Manhattan based on a similar concept, while Sleepbox, which has a demonstration model in Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport, will open 60 of its units in downtown Moscow in a matter of weeks.
Here are three of the best micro-hotels proving that size isn't everything.

Yotel has operated its pod hotels in London's Heathrow and Gatwick airports since 2007, and in Amsterdam's Schiphol since 2008.
Described by the company as being "inspired by first-class airline cabins," and by one user review as "a cross between a train compartment and a space ship," these small units pack in single or double beds, entertainment systems, a work desk and an en suite bathroom into between 7 to 10 square meters.
The cabins --32 at Heathrow, 46 at Gatwick and 57 at Schiphol -- cost about £25 ($39) for four hours, or about £60 ($93) overnight.
Yotel also operates a hotel based on a similar concept in New York City, with 669 slightly larger rooms.
Yotel marketing director Jo Berrington said the airport cabins had very high occupancy rates, and the company planned to roll out its operations in other airports soon.

Napcabs are 4-square-meter, self-service booths operating in Terminal two of Munich Airport. Six cabins are currently in operation, with plans to add more in coming months. They contain a bed, desk, air conditioning, internet access and a TV.
The minimum charge for their use is €30 ($38), which buys two hours between 6am and 10pm, or three hours outside those times. The company says it is moving to other airports shortly.
The cozy, 4-square-meter Sleepbox contains a maximum of three bunk beds, bedside tables, electrical outlets, and reading lamps and can be equipped with a television and alarm clock. A model Sleepbox was installed in the Aeroexpress terminal of Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport in August, and will be put into commercial use in coming weeks when 60 are installed for use in downtown Moscow.
The Sleepbox's designers envisage the units will also be used in train stations, shopping malls and exhibition centers. They can be booked for as little as 30 minutes; Sleepbox recommends a usage charge of U.S. $15 an hour.

Minute Suites provides private rest spaces for travelers to relax, nap or work inside the security areas at two U.S. airports.
Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport has hosted the micro-rooms since late 2009. Philadelphia International Airport also installed 13 suites in 2011.
Standard features include a daybed sofa and an HD television. A desk, phone, office chair and Wi-Fi internet connection ensures each suite can also act as a makeshift office space.
A minimum one-hour stay costs $30, while every 15 minutes thereafter is charged at a rate of $7.50.
Situated in Terminal one of Dubai International Airport, SnoozeCube offers a compact and soundproof room complete with bed, touchscreen TV and internet access.
There are currently 10 units in operation and a one-hour stay costs as little as $16. All SnoozeCubes are connected to the airport's flight information system to ensure that passengers do not miss their flights.

Kansas City, Mo., Nov 17, 2011 / 05:13 am MT ().- A county prosecutor's agreement with Bishop Robert Finn of Kansas City-St. Joseph is a sign of the weakness of the charge that the bishop illegally failed to report suspected child sex abuse, a Missouri lawyer says.
The prosecutor of Clay County, Missouri is "reluctant" to follow the lead of the prosecutor in Jackson County because "he wasn't going to have a successful prosecution," St. Louis attorney Michael Quinlan suggested.
"The prosecution is avoiding a risky trial, and the bishop is avoiding what would be a less risky trial, but certainly a tremendous expense and bad publicity and all the terrible things that go along with that," said Quinlan, who is not involved in the case.
"I would have thought that this would suggest to the prosecuting authorities in Jackson County that they might step back from the brink, but I don't know whether it will have that effect or not."
In Quinlan's view, the possibility of a conviction is "slim" and the relevant statute "simply does not apply to the circumstance."
"I think a fair minded jury should and would conclude that, there being no abuse victim, there could be no requirement to report," he told CNA on Nov. 16.
Jackson County prosecutors have indicted Bishop Finn and the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph on one misdemeanor count of failure to report suspected abuse of minors by a priest who faces child pornography charges.
Prosecutors in neighboring Clay County, however, have reached a five-year agreement with the bishop.
Under the agreement's terms, the bishop must meet face-to-face with the Clay County prosecutor Daniel L. White each month for the next five years to discuss any allegations of child sex abuse against clergy or diocesan staff within the diocese's facilities in the county. Bishop Finn must also describe what steps the diocese has taken to address any allegations.
White would then decide whether to encourage police to investigate any allegations.
The bishop also agreed to visit all nine parishes in Clay County to outline new programs that the diocese is implementing to protect children. The diocesan ombudsman and a new director of child and youth protection will accompany the bishop at the meetings.
"I am grateful for this opportunity to resolve this matter and to further strengthen our diocesan commitment to the protection of children," Bishop Finn said Nov. 15. "The children of our community must be our first priority. Each deserves no more and no less. I stand ready to do all within my power not only to satisfy this agreement but also to ensure the welfare and safety of all children under our care."
The legal case concerns the diocese's response to Fr. Shawn Ratigan, a pastor who attempted suicide in December after a computer technician informed diocesan officials of suspicious images of children, mostly prepubescent girls, on the priest's laptop. The officials consulted legal experts and informed Bishop Finn, but did not contact law enforcement about the priest until May 11, 2011.
Law enforcement investigations resulted in the May 19 arrest of the priest. He now faces multiple local and federal charges of possessing, producing and attempting to produce child pornography.
The agreement between Bishop Finn and county prosecutors prompted criticism from Peter Isely, a national board member of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.
"Finn has now done here what bishops have almost always done — make any promises, payment or plea deal to avoid having to face tough questions in open court about their disgraceful and irresponsible deception," Isely told the Kansas City Star.
However, Quinlan thought such a response was overstated.
"Basically there was a delay of what, a few months? For people like SNAP and some of these people to run around saying that this is a cover-up akin to what went on in the '70s, '80s, and '90s, it's just not at all fair.
"The diocese is the one who turned the guy in in the end. It's not like they got caught hiding something, they turned him in. That doesn't seem to ever get mentioned."
Quinlan said he is a Catholic who has practiced law for over 25 years. He knows Bishop Finn "only by reputation" as "a holy priest and a good bishop, a conscientious bishop."
He felt some of the media reports on the case were a "hatchet-job."
The Kansas City Star's latest reporting, he contended, wrongly made it appear "less like the prosecutor is trying to avoid litigation, and more like the bishop is. They both are."
Quinlan said he is convinced that the Jackson County case against the bishop is a misuse of the statute.
"Catholics need to stand up and push back on some of this. I am one of the first Catholics to fault the bishops in the past for what they did, so this is not just a matter of defending a bishop no matter what. This is just not a comparable situation, and I think that there are political forces here."
While Bishop Finn has taken responsibility for the actions of the diocese, prosecuting him on a charge that could result in a year in prison is "just going too far."
"It's not supported by the facts," Quinlan said.

Shea Foster sets Canastota girls basketball single-game scoring record in win over Camden
CANASTOTA -- Whether the first quarter of Wednesday's game against Camden was the best of the season for Canastota's girls basketball team might be debatable. Its effect on the outcome of the non-league tilt was undeniable.
Coach Vinny Salamone's Raiders held the visitors only gave up two points in the first period while builing an eight-point lead. Shea Foster led the way in the run and helped push the lead to as much as 17 to give the Raiders all the breathing room necessary. The hosts went on to win 46-27 and Foster finished with 36 points to break the single game school record, previously set by Jessica Glazier against Proctor in the early 90s.
The senior added 11 rebounds and three assists and steals for the Raiders.
"This is a team that beat us by 16 the first time we played them and we came back and beat them by 19," said Salamone. "The kids are playing much better basketball."
Camden 2 4 10 11 - 27
Canastota 10 13 7 16 - 46
Camden (4-9): Torie Snow 2, Becky Roser 4, Gwen Proper 2, Kiersten Leos 6, Hayley Kelley 10, Meghan Bowman 2, Kendra Stagner 1.
Canastota (5-6): Shea Foster 36, Danielle Carlone 3, Brionna Coleman 2, Abby Laflair 2, Chelsea Dolloff 1, Julia Collins 2.

We took a look at New York City property records to see if, like Condé Nast, Goldman ever sweetens its compensation packages with no-hassle mortgages for employees. The answer is yes, for a few people at least.
Wall Street is cutting back on cash bonuses, which means paper-rich banksters are forced to choose between preschool tuition and new wine cellars until their restricted shares mature. Goldman Sachs is lending a hand by offering mortgages to its staff.
The Wall Street Journal reported today that, since bankers are getting "squeezed" by the billions in dollars in lousy stock certificates being showered on them, their employers are coming up with creative ways to compensate them, including "loans" that they don't have to pay back until they leave the company:
"I know it sounds ridiculous to Main Street, but it's a hardship," says Gary Goldstein, who runs Whitney Group, a financial-services job-search firm in New York. "So firms are trying to help out any way they can."
That's so nice of them! According to the Journal, Goldman Sachs has let "a small number of employees" take out loans, but the bank claims that they carry normal interest rates and must be paid back. We took a look at New York City property records to see if, like Condé Nast, Goldman ever sweetens its compensation packages with no-hassle mortgages for employees. The answer is yes, for a few people at least. And from what we can tell, it seems that Goldman began the practice right around the time the economy began collapsing and nobody in the world could get a mortgage.
Goldman is listed as a party in thousands of city real estate transactions, but only a relative handful involve individual residential transactions. And those picked up dramatically after the financial meltdown in the fall of 2008—we suspect because even Goldman bankers were having difficulty getting credit on the open market, seeing as how global credit markets had crashed owing to Goldman's spectacularly successful bet against them.
So on October 24, 2008, for instance—one month after the $85 billion federal bailout of AIG and just two weeks before the Federal Reserve Bank of New York authorized the $13 billion pass-through bailout of Goldman Sachs—Goldman managing director Oliver Frankel purchased a co-op in a "limited edition" TriBeCa building with Goldman Sachs listed as the secured party. The amount of the mortgage isn't listed, but units in the building were going for between $2 million and $8 million as of January of that year.
Whatever credit problems Oliver had that caused him to go to his boss for a loan appear to have lifted, though: He purchased another $4.6 million TriBeCa apartment just last week, putting $1.6 million down, according to real estate records. Looks like bonus season has begun.
We found 17 instances of Goldman lending to individual residential property owners in New York City in the last decade, and all of them were after mid-2008, when the meltdown got going. About half of them involved Goldman employees. Goldman is listed as the secured party, for instance, for a $2.1 million co-op that Lancelot Braunstein, who manages banking technology for Goldman, purchased with his wife in September 2009. Just yesterday, Goldman became the secured party for Goldman managing director T. Clark Munnell's $6.6 million Park Avenue apartment. Likewise, it is the secured party for the $1.9 million Chelsea apartment that Goldman vice president Justin Lee purchased on January 5. Same with vice president Annamaria Timofte-Pelfrey's Queens apartment, purchased last month, and the two units in an Upper East Side building that managing director David Perez bought in August.
Because the mortgage agreements themselves aren't public, we don't know what the interest rates or terms are. But we can get an idea from the $4 million mortgage Goldman lent to one VIP in April 2008: Rodney O. Martin, the COO of AIG's (!) life insurance unit. Martin and his wife purchased a $4 million apartment in 15 Central Park West just as the bottom was falling out, and none other than their new neighbor Lloyd Blankfein, who also lives in that building, supplied them with a 30-year mortgage, which was interest-only for the first ten years. (Wasn't there something bad about interest-only loans?)
The interest rate was 4.8%, nearly two points lower than the prevailing rates at the time. And as evidence of how important Martin was to Goldman's business, the mortgage was executed by William Yarbenet, the firm's chief credit officer, himself.
Anyway, if you don't work for Goldman Sachs, good luck getting a mortgage.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Shoppers who want to buy American beef for dinner instead of meat from Canada or Mexico will still be able to find the country of origin on the label.
A federal appeals court ruling last Friday allows the government to go forward with rules that require labels on packaged steaks, ribs and other cuts of meat to say where the animals were born, raised and slaughtered. The meat industry attempted to block the rules, which went into effect last year, saying they are costly and provide no health benefits to the consumer.
In court, the meat industry said the rules go beyond what Congress intended and violate First Amendment rights to freedom of speech by forcing meat producers to provide information about their products. That information is of no real value to the consumer, the industry argued.
Judge Stephen F. Williams of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled those claims were unlikely to succeed in court and refused to block the labeling rules, agreeing with a lower federal court.
Williams wrote that the labeling "enables a consumer to apply patriotic or protectionist criteria in the choice of meat" and "enables one who believes that United States practices and regulation are better at assuring food safety than those of other countries, or indeed the reverse, to act on that premise."
He said those goals are worthy of what he called a "minimal" intrusion on the meat industry's First Amendment rights.
The lawsuit was led by the American Meat Institute, which represents the nation's largest meatpackers, and joined by other meat industry groups. In a statement, the American Meat Institute said it was disappointed by the ruling and disagreed with it. James H. Hodges, interim president and CEO of AMI, said the group is "evaluating our options moving forward."
The meat industry has argued that the paperwork to make the labels possible is burdensome and that it's not practical to keep cattle and hogs from other countries separate from domestic animals.
The labeling rules have support from consumer groups, environmental groups and some farm groups. Ranchers who raise cattle near the northern border and compete with Canadian ranchers have been most supportive of the rules, which Congress wrote in 2002 and revised in 2008 after years of haggling with the meat industry.
Under the rules, a label must be specific. For example, it may say the animal that produced the meat was "born in Mexico, raised and slaughtered in the United States" or "born, raised and slaughtered in the United States." Those rules are a revision from USDA rules originally issued in 2009 that would have been less specific and allowed the labels to say "Product of U.S." or "Product of U.S. and Canada." USDA revised the rules after a World Trade Organization challenge from Mexico and Canada.
The rules also prohibit meat processors from mixing meat from animals born, raised or slaughtered in other countries with meat from the U.S., which was a common practice before the regulations.
The meat industry also tried to scuttle the rules by lobbying Congress to write language repealing them in the farm bill, which was signed by President Barack Obama earlier this year. But farm-state lawmakers said there wasn't enough congressional support for a repeal.
Consumer advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest praised the court decision, saying it gives consumers more information.
"The more transparency and choice consumers have into where to put their dining dollars and where to place their trust, the better," said CSPI's Sarah Klein.

About Avon & Wildridge
Avon The Town of Avon used to be known for its prime location at the base of Beaver Creek Ski Resort, but Avon has come into its own in recent years thanks to thoughtful redevelopment projects, new restaurants and businesses, top-notch events and endless outdoor recreation. One of Avon's town jewels is Nottingham Lake, where you'll find everything from standup paddleboarding to concerts to family-friendly festivals. Free buses shuttle visitors and residents around town or up to the ski resort, and a transit center also provides quick and easy access to Vail. The Town has made many improvements in recent years to its pedestrian connections, making the town much more walkable overall. Avon has become an extension of the resorts, offering mountain living without any sacrifices. Wal-Mart, City Market and The Home Depot anchor the town's retail business mix, which also offers a variety of unique local retail businesses and some of the valley's top restaurants. The Westin Riverfront also offers gondola access from town to Beaver Creek Resort. The Town's 40,000-square-foot recreation center features an indoor waterslide, a 5-lane lap pool, and a state-of-the-art fitness facility. Just outside its doors, Nottingham Park Pavilion plays host to concerts and events, including the annual Fourth of July festivities which include one of the most impressive fireworks shows in the state. The real estate in Avon features a combination of townhomes, condominiums and single-family homes. Second-home owners have taken a particular liking to the Westin Riverfront, Basecamp, The Ascent and Brookside. Wildridge Perched high above the valley with views of Beaver Creek, Game Creek Bowl and Edwards, Wildridge is a community with a unique identity in the valley. Just a few minutes up the hill from Avon, Wildridge is a mix of condominium complexes, townhomes, duplexes and single-family homes. Lot sizes here are comparatively larger than what's available in most neighborhoods throughout the Vail Valley, and the expansive views add to one of Wildridge's greatest amenities — being surrounded by open space. Hiking and biking trails are fun for all ability levels, and the community's dedicated bike lanes — especially the uphill climbing lanes from Avon — add to the community's bike friendliness. Two playgrounds and a popular dog park make families with children and/or dogs feel especially welcome here. The extensive trail systems in sunny Wildridge also bring together an eclectic mix of local residents looking to get their lungs pumping outside or just to socialize with neighbors. Many residents enjoy an evening stroll around the neighborhood's trails, where friendships are formed and neighbors get to know each other. With no noise from I-70, a quality trail system and expansive views, life in Wildridge is mountaintop living at its finest.

As we round the corner toward Christmas here's a few of my favorite Christmas CDs from Christian artists that made their way across my desk this season.
"Christmas: A Newsboys Holiday" Michael Tait's range comes out on this CD. His smooth, velvety vocals are reminiscent of Nat King Cole on "The Christmas Song" — one of the all-time great holiday songs. Before joining the newsboys, Tait had this song as a hidden track on his "Lose This Life" CD. Tait's vocals on this CD might be a surprise to many rock fans, but he translates perfectly to Christmas music.
Don't like listening to one artist when it comes to Christmas tunes? Then check out these two offerings– "The Essential Christmas Collection" and "Bethlehem Skyline 2."
Essential is a compilation of artists from the Provident Label Group (a division of Sony) and features some of the best-known Christian artists. From Third Day and Mac Powell getting the CD going with "Angels We Have Heard On High" to Brandon Heath's "The Night Before Christmas," Revive's "The First Noel" to Michael W. Smith's emotional "All is Well." There's a Celtic feel to Casting Crown's version of "Joy to the World." Newcomer Kerrie Roberts' vocal range is displayed on "Oh Holy Night," and Building 429's gritty version "What Child is This?" is fun. As the name implies this is an essential addition to your Christmas collection.
Bethlehem features new music from Centricity's stable of artists — Jason Gray, Downhere, Lanae' Hale, Sixteen Cities and others. The new songs are a pleasant reprieve from all the oldies. BUT don't fret, classics such as "Silent Night," "Away in the Manger," and "Little Drummer Boy" are in the mix. I really like Downhere's offerings. For some reason I'm reminded of Queen whenever I hear this band. The new music is reason enough to pick up this CD.
Patrice Wilson's "A Christmas Blessing" and The Isaacs "Christmas" round out my selections. These were two new artists for me. I enjoy Wilson's classic renditions of Christmas staples such as "Winter Wonderland," "Jingle Bells" and "O Come all Ye Faithful." When listening to this CD, I just wanted to curl up next to a fire with a hot cup of cocoa.
If your looking for some bluegrass tints to your Christmas tunes, then The Isaacs is your way to go. Complete with mandolin, fiddle and banjo the group offers up "I'll Be Home for Christmas," "Silver Bells," and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman." New songs include "It's Christmas Time Again", "Santa Claus is Real" and "The Savior of the World Has Come."

What I've baked lately: baguettes, semolina bread, 80% rye with rye soaker and rye chops
It seems that days and weeks really flies lately and I don't have enough time to write about all the breads I bake. To get upto date, I'll make a resume with the most important breads I've baked in the last days/week:
1. I made semolina bread, in two different days (first it was a 60% semolina + 40% white flour with 67% hydration, next time it was a 70% semolina + 30% white flour and 71% hydration), inspiread by Hamelman's Semolina Bread and Giovanni's bread. I used a stiff levain and I had to add a lot of water to the dough, and I still think it was not enough. But semolina bread is one of my latest revelations, I love it's flavor so much... too bad I have only one bag of semolina left... :(
The crumb is yellow, but not as opened as it i in giovanni's bread, yet, it is a very tasty formula. It's elastic and chewy and it's wonderful sweet when toasted.
Here are pictures from the first bread:
And from the second one: (I dind't realise before how much they resemble, till I put the pictures together)
2. I make baguettes again, using the same formula as the last time, reducing the hydration to 71%. Better than the first time, but still a long way from perfection.
3. I made another rye bread, using a rye soaker and rye chops made from soaked berries, chopped and then soaked again. I started with 90g berries (140g after soaking and draining) and ended with 210g rye chops, soaked and drained.
The bread has more volume than the last time, even if the dough got stucked in the banneton in a couple of places and it deflated a bit while I forced it to come out. (mini, I did not cheat while I sliced the bread, no funny angles while cutting it, and I have 8-9 cm max... well it's better than 6 cm from last time:)
The bigger holes in the crumb are a sign of overproofing, or a sign of air or/and water incorporated in the dough while shaping?
Well, that's about it, for now. Not quite up-to-date, I still have some "san joaquin"s left that I want share with you, but this is already a too long post.

Exchange 2007 aka 'The One That Got the Biggest Market Share'
Well-made and highly popular, if Microsoft Exchange were a TV show, it would undoubtedly be Friends, and Exchange Server 2007 would be an episode called "The One That Got the Biggest Market Share." The Redmond giant's latest iteration of its e-mail platform is expected to win a great many customers mainly at the expense of IBM's Domino and Novell's GroupWise. The catch, however, is that future versions of Exchange are unlikely to be as successful.
|With Exchange 2007, Microsoft is redefining what constitutes an e-mail platform and expanding its reach. In return, it anticipates commensurate growth of its customer base.
That's certainly the opinion of Matt Cain, lead e-mail analyst at Gartner. "We forecast that Microsoft will get 70 percent of the commercial e-mail market by 2010. That will be the high point, and Microsoft's market share will decline after that," he said.
Who will be taking market share away from Microsoft at the end of the decade? Not IBM or Novell, Cain believes. Serious competition is more likely to come from new vendors (such as Zimbra) whose current offerings will be mature enough in three years to be viable alternatives to Exchange for many organizations.
Competition will come from another source as well. "The biggest threat to the Microsoft Exchange franchise will be software as a service. In three years time, Google's e-mail platform will have become mature and competitive, and will also pose a serious threat," Cain said.
For what is essentially an e-mail product, it's ironic that the major attractions of Exchange 2007 are not directly e-mail related. Although the new product includes improvements to the management layer, higher availability and improved storage options, the biggest change is that Microsoft has expanded the definition of what is an e-mail platform. "Really what Microsoft has done is turn Exchange into a unified messaging platform," says Cain.
Two key new attractions are the addition of voice mail capabilities and integration with the voice components of Office Communications Server. Although it has been possible for a while to integrate voice messaging into Exchange using third-party software, Microsoft has effectively brought this capability in-house.
"I think that Microsoft has looked at third-party activities around Exchange and decided to add those elements. E-mail access to voice mail has been stubbornly fixed at around the 15 percent mark, but there's no question that where it's made available it's tremendously popular with end users. The day most people get voice messages on e-mail tends to be the last time they use their voice mail system," says Cain.
Thus, such integration will likely be popular with organizations lacking a voice mail system or those looking to replace their voice systems.
Microsoft is also pushing ahead with its strategy to move more seriously into mobile solutions. Exchange 2007's Direct Push e-mail, combined with Windows Mobile 6 devices which are just starting to appear will likely challenge the hegemony of RIM's Blackberry devices in the longer term.
Thanks to Microsoft's acquisition of FrontBridge Technologies in 2005, Microsoft is now also involving itself in anti-spam and anti-virus systems, archiving and compliance (from FrontBridge's SEC 17a-3and 17a-4 compliance service, which it acquired from MessageRite), and disaster recovery (via FrontBridge's mail-spooling and mailbox-mirroring technology). This puts it in direct competition with companies like Trend Micro, Symantec and IronPort on the antivirus and anti-spam side, and Computer Associates, EMC and Double-Take on the archiving, compliance and disaster recovery fronts.
Why is Microsoft involving itself in these areas? The answer, according to Cain, is that its Exchange business has a target growth rate of 15 percent to 18 percent annually. With the e-mail market growing at around 10 percent per year and conversions from Novell's GroupWise and IBM's Domino coming steadily but slowly, Microsoft has no choice but to encroach on satellite businesses to achieve its targets. A big question is how successful it will be in these areas.
"Take e-mail hygiene for example. I think Microsoft's offerings will be adequate, but I doubt people have the confidence to turn over their anti-spam or anti-virus to Microsoft quite yet," Cain said.
Whether Exchange 2007 really achieves 70 percent market share in three years remains to be seen. So far, few businesses have implemented Exchange Server 2007 probably less than 300,000 seats in all, according to Garter's estimates. These numbers should pick up sharply with the release of Service Pack 1, which will introduce new functionality, such as access to public folders using Outlook Web Access.
Released as a Beta in April, Service Pack 1 is expected to be go gold in the second half of this year, at the same time as Longhorn.
The e-mail market is likely to look dramatically different in four of five years time when the new breed of open source-based products and hosted services have had time to get their acts together more effectively. Once this happens, it's unlikely Microsoft or anyone else will be able to dominate the market to such an extent ever again.

Discounting Wireless (and don't we all?), the next big festival on the horizon is the biggest. The daddy. The grande fromage. Viewed as the greatest of them all, the one festival where the experience of the event far outweighs the quality of the bands on show, it's a must-do on everyone's calendar. So much so, that people who probably don't even like music seem desperate to go. It's a cultural thing, we're told.
The last two Glastonbury Festivals were riddled by poor weather and an even poorer atmosphere. There are many good things about putting that giant steel fence around Avalon – no scallies ripping your tent off, less irritating crusties just being near you and, of course, the lack of fear about being crushed to death by mass overcrowding at the end of the night (see: Pyramid Stage, 2001). That's particularly bad when you're tripping your nuts off and you've just seen The Flaming Lips… And there's a girl in a wheelchair just screaming in front of you… Screaming…. Screaming…
Sorry, I digress. There are good things about the fence, but it has turned Glastonbury (alongside coverage by the likes of the Guardian) into a middleclass tea party. There are many thousands of people there who wouldn't know what a welly looks like if it wasn't for a weekend round Pilton way. As a result, the atmosphere, sense of adventure and general anarchic joy has dissipated somewhat.
As has the level of bands.
Once Glastonbury was able to pull a hell of a headliner out of the bag almost every year (Bowie, Radiohead, REM etc), and easily persuaded bands that it was the only festival to play. At the time you knew that going to Somerset for your yearly pilgrimage was going to bring you the joys of a world-beating, exclusive-to-Glastonbury act. This year we have The Killers, Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs and The Kooks on show – what's special about that, exactly? Yes, there is The Who, but they've not exactly been reticent about shows recently, have they? Rumour has it that The Rolling Stones should have been playing the Pyramid Stage this year, but for reasons we can only imagine, they turned up at the financially lucrative Isle of Wight event instead. And then fucked festival-goers over by chartering a whole ferry for them and their mates, the hip-replacement-rocking pricks.
And you'd better pray it doesn't rain. Given the bowl-like qualities of the surrounding area, Glastonbury is more susceptible to bad weather than most events. Having been to the filthy squalid events in 1997 and 1998, I can tell you that anyone talking about the 'Glasto spirit' is a massive fat liar who is having a shit time. The mud altercations of the last two Glastonbury Festivals were unpleasant but had nothing on the apocalyptically wank time you'd have had ten years ago. Look to the skies and beseech for sun. But, naturally, not too much: we are British, after all, and too much heat is a killer (see: Glastonbury 1999). You'll be spread out, motionless, like a paraplegic rhino in the sun.
Yes, it is good fun. But no, it's not the greatest show on earth. Not anymore. Diluted by its own popularity and its attempts to cater to a mainstream it never originally intended to court or embrace, Glastonbury is Just Another Festival now. The best of the lot still in certain eyes, but not untouchable.
Me? I'm off to Norway.
DiScuss: What are your best, and worst, Glastonbury memories? From our office quick-u-poll, we have these:
Mike Diver's is being cold, wet, ravaged by a chilling wind and depressed with having nowhere to sit down with only the shit-prog of over-hyped flash-in-the-pan sorts Ultrasound for company.
Samuel Strang particularly enjoyed watching a man (hopefully on drugs) sitting on the floor, masturbating to Interpol.
Mark Mitchell was standing around waiting for The Cure to come on while, behind him, scousers were pushing a man in a wheelchair to the front in order to_ "see better"_. Naturally the person in the wheel chair found the ability to watch the whole gig standing up. Incredible.
Gareth Dobson vividly recalls watching thousands of people covered in mud singly proudly along to_ 'One Way' _by Glastonbury house band, The Levellers.
Tim Hall remembers the feeling of utter helplessness while being stranded in the middle of a muddy field by a particularly traumatised artist who had bailed out on a TV appearance and driven home without him. He had nowhere to go and no way of getting home.

"De una vez!" reaches out to heritage speakers who have had very little or no training in reading or writing in Spanish. It eases them into reading, writing, and grammar using a rich cultural approach designed to make these students fully aware of their own cultural background as well as of the diversity that exists across Latin cultures. After first gaining a strong sense of self, students are then exposed to a variety of career role models within Hispanic communities. They are encouraged to be active in their own communities, to interview Hispanic professionals, and to explore different Spanish-speaking countries and regions using the Internet.Beginning level heritage-speaker text introduces simple readings that help students who have limited experience in reading and writing Spanish develop these skills.Two-tiered grammar presentation addresses the specific needs of a heritage-speaker class, breaking with the traditional sequence of a first-year course to address disparate skill levels.Process-writing approach offers practice for both academic writing (literary analysis and summaries) as well as practical, interpersonal writing (cover letters, resumes, thank you letters).Exposure to cultural and linguistic variance encourages heritage speakers to understand and respect cultural and dialectal differences throughout the Spanish-speaking world.Emphasis on interaction with Hispanic communities encourages students to gather information from family members and Hispanic professionals and to research Spanish-speaking cultures on the Internet.Focus on diverse cultures introduces students to many extraordinary writers, poets, painters, and musicians from throughout the contemporarySpanish-speaking world.Rojas, Nelson is the author of 'De Una Vez! 1e', published 2007 under ISBN 9780618348947 and ISBN 0618348948.[read more]

1.First off, A "VIRUS" Is a self-replicating and destructive code that in many cases adds its own code to the end of a program (I.E. Internet explorer) or in some cases it is a stand alone program with a false name and shortcut picture.
2. Secondly, A batch file that shutsdown and displays some message like "Hahaha you got hacked. n00b." is NOT A VIRUS!!! And it's hardly funny.
3. Third, Any "Credible" A.V. software out there will block this, immediately (counting schools, unless you live in the ghetto)
4. Fourth, if you want to make a serious virus, go learn any of the abundance of programming languages (excluding Java, php, html, so on and so forth) and learn it.
5. Please don't post more of this stuff on these boards, if feel the urge to lay out some nooby code, please go to the "NZone"
P.S. Sorry if this offended anyone, and also if my grammer or spelling is incorrect, I'm a bit tired
You think you're not a noob? LOLWUT? Get real, kid.
Still, I agree with most of what you said, although I've never seen an AV that blocks batch files that shutdown a computer...and I've never seen a competent programmer call HTML, Hyper Text MARKUP Language, a programming language.

Hi Everyone, I am new to this forum although I've read many of the posts. I am a qualified teacher from Canada, with a BEd. in primary/junior education. I am hoping to go to Taiwan in the near future to teach English. I have many questions to all of you that are in Taiwan or who have been living in Taiwan. One question in particular I have been wondering about is my safety in Taiwan. I realize the culture is very different towards women in general, but, would I feel safe walking at night alone? What about during the day? I am thinking of going to Taichung which I know is the third largest city in Taiwan. I've read about the woman in Chiayi(sp?) that was killed. How are foreign women treated by Taiwanese men in authority(supervisors)? All responses welcomed. Thanks in Advance. Cheers, Jojo Back to top AristotleJoined: 16 Jan 2003Posts: 1388Location: Taiwan Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2003 4:53 am Post subject: If you never learn the language, you may make it a few years until you figure out what the Chinese men on the street are saying to you. All women in Taiwan get this. The first time I really noticed it I was on a train that was packed beyond capacity. I was forced to stand in the open doorway as it went down the line. At every stop the men would yell sexual request to the women and girls waiting on the platform. It wasn't just one either, there were two or three on every car. They were saying some really nasty things at any unaccompanied female, regardless of age. Foreign women don't usually stay in Taiwan for more than a year, for this reason and many others. A Canadian friend of mine in Taipei used to run up to these obnoxious men on motorcycles and knock them off. She would then chase them down the street. She was a big girl and made quite a reputation for herself. The old women used to bring her flowers when she walked down the street. They really loved to watch her chase these ass holes and would hoot and holler every time she did it. Even the police would just stand there and laugh. Generally speaking however, it really isn't that safe for women. Besides the obvious harassment women are generally treated as lower than their male counterparts. As most western women tower above the majority of the would be local assailants, attacks are rare in most places. The exception being Chaiyi. Back to top WorkingVacaJoined: 16 Jan 2003Posts: 135 Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2003 1:20 pm Post subject: Keeping the girls scared. Geez, Aristotle paints a pretty hysterical portrait of life for women in Taiwan. Come on. We get cat-calls and harrassment wherever we go in the world, and Taiwan men are much more polite than in other places. I feel as "safe" in Taipei as I did living downtown in a big U.S. city. In some ways, even safer. It depends on what you're accustomed to, but if you have the usual smarts (don't take candy from strangers, etc.) you should be fine. Of course things DO happen, but you shouldn't live your life in fear based on some small chance that something might go wrong. Back to top OkamiJoined: 25 Jan 2003Posts: 121Location: Sunny Sanxia Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2003 2:22 pm Post subject: Good ol, Aristotle. The college freshman telling stories around a high school keg party. Taiwan is not very dangerous to your average westerner, female or male. I've walked the streets at all hours and been all over the place in Taipei and have had no problems. I have almost gotten into a couple traffic fights, but that was due to their awful driving. I see you facing the following 3 problems: 1. Taxi drivers, over 38% of them have done jail time. They have been known to harass and/or rape women. I think the most ironic one was the rape of the woman in charge of handling rape cases in Taiwan. Never get into a cab by yourself if you're very drunk, have someone go home with you home. When you take a taxi have someone write down the license plate number. Talk on your cellphone and try to ignore him unless he's asking for directions. Unfortunately, a lot of cabbies are absolutely clueless about how to get to point A to point B in Taipei as they come from down South. 2. Overbearing bosses, sometimes they will think your an easy target. A single woman without a friend in taiwan. Stand up for yourself and this shouldn't be a problem, though you might have to get a new job. 3. Psycho Taiwanese boyfriends: I'm not sure if these will be a problem for you, but it is a very real problem for a lot of Taiwanese women. Imagine a man who has never been scolded, told no, and had everything done by a woman in his life. This is a lot of Taiwanese men. So when a gf breaks up with them, they take it very badly. They will harass you at work, call all the time(they do this even when they like you, though), get into your apartment and destroy everything, kidnap you, threaten you, and/or kill you(maybe himself too). He'll also have his friends help him. Taiwanese like to do everything in groups. If you're going to break up with a Taiwanese bf/gf, make it seem like it was their idea. Taichung is known for gangsters and great weather. Mostly mid level thugs into pornography, drugs, and pirated goods. They busted a cop near a city there with 5.4 kgs of heroin. He drove a Mercedes and was depositing 2-3 million NT/month in his bank acct. He liked to deal drugs dressed in his uniform and claimed to be undercover. Police are useless in Taiwan. They are a strictly 9-5 outfit that excels at giving out fines to motorists and seemingling nothing else. If you don't believe me, wait till you need them and they refuse to help or give their name. With your qualifications, you need to apply for the international schools in Taipei, instead of some hack language school. Be choosy and set up your interviews for when you enter Taiwan. Getting a job sight unseen is a major mistake. Most schools take advantage of such people, by offering lower wages, etc... I would check out the following websites for better info. I like daveseslcafe.com, but it lacks the depth and breadth of these two websites in the following ways Jobs: www.tealit.com so-so site, but hands down the best for jobs put up your resume and watch the hits come or look for jobs. Living in Taiwan: www.forumosa.com.tw(formerly www.segue.com.tw) Need to knwo where any type of restaurants are? have a hard to answer legal question? It's all there. Post anymore questions you may have and I'll try to answer to the best of my abilities.

Does anyone know the name of some good International schools in Taipei or any other place in Taiwan? Keep the comments coming. Thanks Jojo Back to top taiwan boyJoined: 11 Feb 2003Posts: 99Location: China Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2003 12:09 pm Post subject: I think Taiwan is a pretty safe place generally. The most dangerous thing you will encounter daily is definitely the traffic I agree with Okami's point about taxi drivers though. Most Taiwanese women are reluctant to take a taxi alone at night. Whenever I am with one of my female friends in Taiwan at night and they need to take a taxi I always go to put them in the taxi and write down the taxi's number.

The biological reality of guys and girls is that there will be the occasional idiot who will do something stupid, but let's not brand every guy with the same stigma. Rapists go to jail, for a long time. In Taiwan the same as in Canada and the USA. And so they should. Every guy will agree with that. Regarding women being forced by their husbands. You obviously have never been married. I have never met a husband who could force his wife to do anything. That would be a very bad move. Most married guys I know either get along with their wives, or are frightened of them. In my view, it's better to get along with them. Quote: I tagged along on some errands once with a friend who was building a school-it's really a pain to get service in male dominated industries, like construction, technological crap, etc. only the stuff she NEEDS to run her business. -and I've worked in the building industry, and it's a real pain to try and serve women who don't know what they want and expect you to be able to do everything for them. There's nothing more frustrating that having to explain to a woman the intricacies of some building task she's decided to undertake and then hear her asking questions like "is that really neccessary?" and "do I need to do it that way?" You have to keep your cool. Please, become versed in the discipline BEFORE you start to practice it!! I said leave your feminism at home for the person's own good, not the good of Taiwan. She'll have a better time if she goes with an open mind.

She points out a real injustice and dares to defend the "F" word (feminism) and now she might as well be just a man-hating bitch that never had a good lay. Rape isn't a problem because only "crazy" men rape. Reverse discrimination is rampant. Men have no rights anymore. Women have it so good and don't even appreciate it. Don't they know that everything men do in this world is for the sake of women? How dare you be ungrateful for their chilvary! Anyway, you'll find that Taiwan people are just as racist, sexist, materialistic, etc., etc. as the people in your home country. And your fellow expats will be pretty dull, too--most of them only interested in drinking and trying to shag as many of the local "girls" as possible. As a female ESL teacher overseas, that's what might get on your nerves the most--listening to the dumb little adventure stories in the teacher's room. And compared to fears of taxi driver rapists (who you won't find in most cabs), that's really a small thing. You'll be fine in Taiwan, don't let other people's hysteria frighten you away!Last edited by WorkingVaca on Tue Apr 01, 2003 3:16 am; edited 1 time in total Back to top OkamiJoined: 25 Jan 2003Posts: 121Location: Sunny Sanxia Posted: Sun Mar 30, 2003 2:25 am Post subject: Please ignore the chatter and focus on your own program. Taiwan is safe enough and you'll be dealing with the same crap in a different manner that you would in Canada. Anything you will deal with in Taiwan will be just like dealing with it in Canada just in a different language and culture. No one really knows anything about Taiwan. Like most Asian countries any statistics produced are suspect as anything good is highlighted and possibly increased; and anything bad is hidden, made very obscure to find, and often lowered to make it look better. Now look at the questions you asked and the responses given. If they do not match, they are useless chatter. You were looking for international schools here are some with there phone numbers. Dominican International School 2533-8451 Taipei American School 2873-9000 ext 361 Taipei British School 2862-2919 Taipei French School 2862-2623 Taipei German School 2862-2930 Taipei Japanese School 2875-1460 Eighteen Kids American Language School 2874-3003 Yang Ming Shan Christian School 2861-6400 These were all taken from "This Month in Taiwan" magazine. These are the schools most foreign expats and wealthy Taiwanese would send their children to. I believe you need a foreign passport(non-ROC) to attend any of these schools as a student.

An estimated 25 to 36 women are raped every day in Taiwan, and one out of five female university students in Taiwan has been sexually harassed. The Taipei City's Domestic Violence and Sexual Asasult Prevention Center reported 6,150 cases of marital violence between June 1999 and April 2000, meaning that during that period, every 24 hours, there were twenty individuals in Taipei city alone, who had sought help because of domestic violence. According to National Police Administration statistics, 19 women are robbed in Taiwan every day. 70% of surveys on women's welfare and rights identify women's personal safety as an urgent issue that requiring immediate attention. Government-funded hot lines that receive calls for assistance from victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse, received 52,000 calls between January and July 2000 alone." You can find the entire article here http://www.womenweb.org.tw/English/Issue_Show.asp?Issue_ID=13 And here's something about migrant workers http://migrantnet.pair.com/files/Rtaiwan98.html And here is a website called, Men Against Sexual Assault with which you should make yourself familiar. http://sa.rochester.edu/masa/ And another, because it's not all about rape. http://www.gio.gov.tw/taiwan-website/5-gp/rights/tr_06.htm Not all rapists go to jail. Many of them are never even reported because many victims are too terrified or ashamed to report them. Some are never caught. Some are caught and then just let go...really. And you really shouldn't go around saying that rape is a "biological reality of girls and guys" because your are opening yourself up some pretty heavy attacks and taking away all your own defenses. Think about your statement & consider changing "biological" to "cultural" and then maybe you will see why there was ever a feminist movement in the first place. About a quarter of my female students have been sexually assaulted or raped(at least, a quater have told me about it). And, just to be clear, I do count groping on the subway as sexual assault-especially when it happens to a 12 year old because she really shouldn't have to go through that just to get home from school. Since last December three of my (married) female students have had abortions. I know for a fact, since they discussed it thoroughly with me(I dunno, maybe they want to talk to me because I'm a woman positive, progressive, FEMINIST), that at least two of the three had the abortions againt their will because their husbands did not want to support another child. Two families already have one child and one has two. And, for the record, I am married. My husband is huge, he is over a foot taller than me and many pounds heavier. I would never be able to fight him off physically. I really believe that I would never have to, but I know not all marriages are like ours. Even back home, not every wife is as comfortable as I am. So, maybe instead of asking the married guys you know, you should start talking to the married women you know. I will give you the "freezing cold" comment. I am from California, and since you are from Canada, I'm sure we have different ideas of what is cold. But I live in Hsin Chu, also know as the "Windy City" and seriously, it can't be comfortable standing out in that wind in only underwear. And I think the locals would agree since the ones who aren't selling beetle nut are wearing down jackets and gloves (and not getting out of their cars!) I'm not going to respond to your comments about the construction because they were just dumb. Anyway, the previous post is correct-this thread is about foreign women in Taiwan and we should focus on that. If you want to further discuss women's issues in Taiwan, go do some reading, talk to some real women in Taiwan and then start a new thread. To the original poster, I'm sorry to get off your topic. But it's always good to talk about women's issues and rights and think about what we need to do to make things better for all of us, right? I've always felt safe in Taiwan. Safer than in California. Western women are generally treated differently than the locals so don't think what I've been posting reflects the situation for western women.

Introducing FL Studio Groove
FL Studio Groove Getting Started Tutorial
Does FL Studio Groove run on Android, iOS & Windows Phone?
FL Studio Groove is currently in Alpha testing for Android, iOS and Windows VST, no dates for release yet. Windows Phone is under investigation.
Is FL Studio Groove compatible with FL Studio?
There is no direct compatibility at this stage. You can export your grooves to wav audio format and import them into FL Studio. There is a VST version in development that loads inside FL Studio and supports FL Studio Groove App projects and vice-versa. No details yet on availability and pricing.
Can I load my own samples and record audio?
Not at this time, audio recording and custom sample support are scheduled for a future update.
Is FL Studio Groove compatible with Windows 7, Vista, XP?

Ok, you say, that's nice, but what if I want to create my own handlers to respond when the user adjusts a range widget or a spin button, and how do I get at the value of the adjustment in these handlers? To answer these questions and more, let's start by taking a look at the attributes of a gtk.Adjustment itself:
Given a gtk.Adjustment instance adj, each of the attributes are retrieved or set by adj.lower, adj.value, etc.
Since, when you set the value of an adjustment, you generally want the change to be reflected by every widget that uses this adjustment, PyGTK provides a method to do this:
As mentioned earlier, Adjustment is a subclass of Object just like all the various widgets, and thus it is able to emit signals. This is, of course, why updates happen automagically when you share an adjustment object between a scrollbar and another adjustable widget; all adjustable widgets connect signal handlers to their adjustment's value_changed signal, as can your program. Here's the definition of this signal callback:
The various widgets that use the Adjustment object will emit this signal on an adjustment whenever they change its value. This happens both when user input causes the slider to move on a range widget, as well as when the program explicitly changes the value with the set_value() method. So, for example, if you have a scale widget, and you want to change the rotation of a picture whenever its value changes, you would create a callback like this:
and connect it to the scale widget's adjustment like this:
What about when a widget reconfigures the upper or lower fields of its adjustment, such as when a user adds more text to a text widget? In this case, it emits the changed signal, which looks like this:
Range widgets typically connect a handler to this signal, which changes their appearance to reflect the change - for example, the size of the slider in a scrollbar will grow or shrink in inverse proportion to the difference between the lower and upper values of its adjustment.
You probably won't ever need to attach a handler to this signal, unless you're writing a new type of range widget. However, if you change any of the values in a Adjustment directly, you should emit this signal on it to reconfigure whatever widgets are using it, like this:

Despite leaks-a-plenty that hint at a thinner, redesigned iPhone 5 coming in the near future, Wedge Partners analyst Brian Blair claims that we're only going to see an iPhone 4S — an iPhone 4 with a modest spec bump.
He claims that Apple is going to hold off on a major redesign for another year, with the focus of the upcoming press conferences set to be on iOS 5, a faster processor and a nicer camera.
Of course, Apple board member Al Gore recently mentioned "the new iPhones coming out next month," which makes one think that there may be more than one model of iPhone coming out. But really the person who really knows what's up is Apple CEO Tim Cook, and he should be letting us all know what the deal is in a couple of weeks.

Does this seem like a strange title? Well if you or a loved one has experienced a heart attack once back home the undertaking of grocery shopping can go from a one hour task to a two or three-hour task. This is common complaint heard in Cardiac Rehabilitation. Why? The task of determining which foods are to be avoided and what to replace them with takes a great deal of time. Reading the labels for fat and sodium content, determining vitamin K sources, or if the food contains grapefruit or others that could interact with medicines takes time.
Shop the perimeter
Discharge instructions include following a heart healthy diet. For most that means eliminating much of the processed and pre-packaged foods from the diet, as they are too high in saturated or trans fats, or too high in sodium. The best way to speed this process up is to try to shop the perimeter of the grocery store. Get your fresh fruits and veggies, stop by the butcher and select fresh-cut lean meats, get your low-fat dairy products,and purchase your baked goods that are whole grain, then be done. Eliminate the inner isles of the store (well other than the cleaning isle). The boxed foods are often high in saturated or trans fats because they replace butter. Butter goes rancid quickly and thus the products would have a short shelf life, so they substitute trans and saturated fats so the product can remain on the shelf for a year or more, although eating it reduces your shelf life 🙂
Vitamin K is an issue if you are discharged on the blood thinner Coumadin. While it is not necessary to eliminate vitamin K from the diet, it is important to get approximately the same dosage daily, to help avoid large swings in your INR rates. Try to eat the same portions of vitamin K each day. Many patients report they cannot eat foods with vitamin K, in fact we want them too, but we want them to understand the content and keep it similar from day-to-day. To learn more about Vitamin K and Coumadin click here
Grapefruit, blood oranges are a couple of items that effect the potency of medications and should be avoided at all cost. Statin – cholesterol lowering medications in particular are effected. Know what items contain grapefruit juice and avoid these. For more information about heart medication that interact with grapefruit click here
Sodium is in just about everything in the middle shelves. It is the preservative which again allows for the long shelf life. Avoid foods with 800 milligrams or more per serving. Remember the 1500 milligram daily goal shouldn't be exceeded. Again if buying fresh foods and not processed is the easiest way to adhere to the guidelines. Learn more about sodium
It gets easier, and takes less time after a while. You learn what brands are best, and where to find them. You try new foods and decide what you like. Some hospitals have grocery store tours with dietitians to help you learn what is marketing and what is healthy.
Common marketing issues where you think you are purchasing healthy foods but are not
Ground turkey. Everyone comes to rehabilitation and tells me they had ground turkey burgers. I challenge them to go back and look at the percentage of fat in the ground turkey. Most of it contains 80% protein 20% fat, that is the same as most hamburger contains. It would be better to eat ground sirloin of 90% protein and 10% fat. Better yet, learn to make bean burgers – super easy to make and much better and less expensive as the pre- packaged bean burgers. Another one that I chuckle at is the milk choices. Patients come in proud they are no longer drinking whole milk, and report they are at 2%. Well I educate them to consider a glass of whole milk is about equal to three restaurant size pats of butter, 2% would equal 2 pats of butter, 1% equals 1, skim equals no saturated fat. Green labels also don't mean. Peanut butter – read the labels it may say no trans fats, but contains partially hydrogenated oils…hmmmm….not a good choice. Select the peanut butter that is natural the kind that you must stir the oil into the peanut butter. Many foods are labeled trans fat-free, as if it were a recent change to make it healthier, when in fact they never contained trans fats.
A funny story one time I had a very young woman with serious heart disease proudly announce she made a good selection when she picked chicken gravy over beef….missing the point that gravy is fat and salt completely.

Marc Culler and Nathan Dunfield's SnapPy is
a user interface to the SnapPea kernel which runs on Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows. SnapPy combines a link editor and 3D graphics for Dirichlet domains and cusp neighborhoods with a powerful command-line interface based on the Python programming language.
SnapPy is already the preferred user interface for SnapPea. In the not-too-distant future its capabilities should be a superset of those offered by the older Mac OS X interface (see below), at which point the older Mac OS X interface will be retired.
A revised SnapPea kernel is also available.
The older SnapPea for Mac OS X, while still incomplete, supports enough features that you may find it useful for real work. Currently supported features include: cusped census, knot and link entry, drilling and filling, symmetry group, fundamental group, Dirichlet domain and ortholengths. The even older SnapPea also remains available.
A. C. Manoharan has updated his SnapPea PC for Windows 7. It continues to run well on Windows XP too.
