Test-Drive EMC
Skerrett: 'Moving Towards a One-Click Install.'
Ian Skerrett has blogged about this release, in a post entitled 'Moving Towards a One-Click Install for the Eclipse Ecosystem,' where he refers to this initial release as the "next step towards creating an 'App Store' like experience for the Eclipse ecosystem." He reveals that, ultimately, it is hoped that each of the packages will contain EMC.
Currently, when testing the EMC, not all of the Eclipse Marketplace solutions are installable, and the team are encouraging all solution providers to make their installable units available on the Marketplace. Current installable units include Mylyn 3.3.2, SearchTab 1.0.0 and Object Teams Development Tooling 1.4.0. For a full list of installable units, please see the Eclipse Marketplace listing.
According to the blog post, this Helios M6 release of EMC is "pretty much feature complete." However, the EMC team are calling on the community to report any bugs and provide general feedback.

A key step in the entry of enveloped viruses, such as influenza virus, HIV, West Nile virus and Sindbis virus, into the host cell, is fusion of the viral envelope with the host cell membrane. My research aims to illustrate the structural details of this process using Sindbis virus as a model system. Cryo-electron microscopy and three-dimensional image reconstruction techniques will be used to determine the structure of the virus-membrane complex at nanometer resolution. Fitting the crystal structure of the viral fusion protein into the reconstruction map will lead to discovery of the conformation, oligomerization and organization of the fusion proteins at the site of membrane interaction. The structural knowledge gained from this research will provide potential targets for anti-viral reagents. In addition, this study will also help to establish a general approach for structural investigation of membrane fusion carried out by other enveloped viruses.

Printer Problem.
Struggled with this one all morning! OKI C3300n installed a few weeks ago on the network. All works fine, the printer being installed to workstations via a VBS script. The problem is, when you log in as a student or teacher the default setting for print quality is always set to the highest which has resulted in a pretty alarming depletion of the 4 toners. Any changes made (which in this case means 600x600 with toner save on) are lost when the user logs out and back in again - back to the highest quality.
Now, the way I've sorted this out in the past is to do the following:
At each workstation log on to the domain as administrator
Use DelProf to delete locally stored profiles (we're not using roaming profiles)
Setup the printer as required
Restart the workstation and log on as local administrator
Copy domain administrator profile to Default User
It's obviously something to do with permissions because when you log in as administrator the new settings are retained but I don't know what to change?? I made the teachers members of the Print Operators group but that didn't help. Any ideas?

Here's a partial transcript of what Georgia State coach Bill Curry said on Tuesday at his press conference:
On Jacksonville State's head coach…
"Jack Crowe is a good friend and has done a fantastic job wherever he has been, as an offensive coordinator at the really big schools, as the head coach at a big school for a brief time, and the last twelve years at Jacksonville State. There is something in our business about a veteran mind. He thinks of things that other people do not. He's creative. Most of us are not as creative as Jack. By that, I mean he makes us defend a variety of unusual things in virtually every facet of the game. You have to think and practice different things. It is all designed in a clever way."
On playing Jacksonville State…
"I counted 22 players on their roster from the state of Georgia, there might be more than that. What that means is there will be a lot of emotion with playing us because we're a school that's in-state. That's just something that guys talk about playing against their former high school teammates or opponents. They are very talented in the skill positions. They've got a stout veteran defense. Their offensive line has some young players. They'll be maturing every week and that's been part of the issues that they've been dealing with. I'm sure they will improve each week. They are very efficient in the red zone, one of the only teams in America to have scored every time they get inside the 20. They will be a formidable opponent in their stadium."
On his team's preparation…
"Our team right now is very disappointed, and we have practiced hard to correct the things that need to be corrected. We don't always understand why we aren't ourselves when it comes time to play, but that's just the human factor. All we get is the resolve to get it fixed and to get it fixed now. The only answer to how we feel right now is to have great preparation all week and go get a win on the road in a tough place to play. We've practiced hard to redeem ourselves. I believe we are preparing in a manner that will allow us to play our very best. If we play our best we have a chance to win this game and that's exactly what we intend to do."
On special teams…
"We just have to practice over and over until we have it right. It will help us that Bo Schlechter will be able to punt this week. Now that we've shown flaws, people will be trying to exploit that all of the time. The definition of a football coach is a person who takes a problem on the field and makes it disappear. If you can't do that against good competition, then you're going to get killed. We had some young players who were not prepared and when that happens, you don't play full speed. We're getting some more veteran people on the field in those key spots."
On his team's attitude…
"The thing that disappointed me the most in the game last week was that we didn't show our number one attribute, which is that we love football. We love to play. We didn't get out there with reckless abandon and get after folks. When we play like that, we're hard to beat. When we don't we limit our opportunities. So we have to get back to playing like we are supposed to play. If that means getting off the bus in Jacksonville, Alabama, then that's what we're going to do. No matter where you have to conduct your business trip, you go there and do it well."
Redshirt Senior Joseph Gilbert
Do you think the running game has improved this year from last year?
I feel like the running game has improved tremendously from last year. If you look at how many times we ran the ball against Old Dominion last year versus how many times we ran this year, that speaks for itself. I don't think we handed the ball off once in the second half last year. This year, we tried to grind it out. That speaks a lot to our running game.
On the graduate school rule
I think it's a wonderful rule. At the end of my time at Georgia Tech I talked to the people at the admissions office about the master's program and when they told me that applying wasn't an option, you're faced with very little choices with what you want to do. In my opinion, college and college football is about getting things that will help you later on in life. I earned the management degree and I wanted a master's degree. I didn't want to waste time getting a degree for me that I'm not going to use. I think the rule is awesome because many athletes feel like they are attached to a university and feel like they don't have an option once they graduate. The graduate rule allows you to continue your academic journey and continue learning. It prepares you better for the outside world as opposed to majoring in football in college and that being your sole purpose.
On who he likes to see run the ball on offense
Out of our running backs, there's not a bad choice. I love seeing Parris back there, I've met Donald now and I love seeing him run the ball, and Travis is doing a great job. As soon as we get Rosevelt back there I'd love to see him get some carries. There's not a bad choice in our backfield.
On how the offensive line will overcome the loss of center Ben Jacoby against Jacksonville State
Ben is our vocal leader on the offensive line. He makes all the calls pre-snap and he's the one who makes sure everyone is doing what they are supposed to do. It will be a struggle replacing him, but it won't be just one person taking the job. We're all trying to come together and fill that void that's there now. We're going to miss him. You can't just replace Ben Jacoby. He's been here since before I arrived here. When I first came here, it was always clear who the leader on the offensive line was. It's going to be a unique experience playing without him, we'll miss him.
On who will make the calls on the offensive line at Jacksonville State
Michael Davis will make the calls. He'll be anchoring our offensive line. He did a real good job during the third quarter when Ben left the Old Dominion game. He did a great job stepping up. It is incredibly hard coming off the sidelines when you're cold, you haven't done anything all game and all of a sudden you have to come in and run things. He did a great job. You can really see him building off of that. I really saw that yesterday in practice and today in practice. He's getting more comfortable calling the huddle, making the line calls and coordinating the offense.

Glad to see Bill Curry is browsing JSU's roster for GA players instead of teaching John Bond how to run an offense.
September 14th, 2011
8:38 am
This is a team we should play every year, since they're so close by. Last year's matchup was the most exciting and evenly matched of the season! Any chance Jax State comes with us to the Big East?
September 14th, 2011
9:37 am
If I'm not mistaken Curry repeatedly said out offense was going to "pick up the pace" this year. I saw ODU run the no huddle and dominate us with it, however I have not really seen anything notibly different on our end….what gives?
September 14th, 2011
9:46 am
Slow down on the Big East talk Concrete Panthers, both for us and JSU. We have alot of ducks to get in a row before anything can happen like that and it likely will not be the BE. JSU will always have the issue of lack of attractive market area when it comes to talks about FBS football. I could see them in the Sun Belt one day but probably nothing more.
September 14th, 2011
9:57 am
JAX State in the Sun Belt makes sense, seems like they'd be a good fit. With their stadium expansion and recent success, the only negative I can see is their location.
September 14th, 2011

KeepOnRollin I totally agree. Coach Bond's playcalling appears to be a weakness for the offense.

September 14th, 2011
11:20 am
Offense, Defence, or Special Teams all must increase in their SPEED both body and brain.
You don't get time to think and your body don't reflex fast enough to get us WIN no matter who you play against, with, or for. Speed up, then you can think & move.
Slow you will lose unless they make lots of mistakes.
Expect you to be faster this time and evert game from now on.
September 14th, 2011
11:24 am
coach Bond, please get back last year starter number 72. We saw what he did when he got into the game 4 the few minutes left. We want him because he his faster and very good. Coach pleeaasee get back 72.

"We're getting some more veteran people on the field in those key spots."
How about getting a veteran QB to start the game at that "key spot" on the field?
September 14th, 2011
1:29 pm
The offensive line needs help, number 72 should be in the game more. Why is number 72 not starting?
September 14th, 2011
1:36 pm
Curry said a lot in the spring about "a faster pace" on offense. Were you talking about the opposing team, or are we going to see that sometime?
September 14th, 2011
2:51 pm
Ok, this has really messed me up. Coach said all hands on deck last week. What happened. Poor Bo was stuggling by midway through 1st quarter! Why no Little or some other kind of change up.(wildcat). I kept looking for Little series after series. My trust in the staff was at an all time high before this game. Now I have lost the trust. Old Dominion kept us in the game for a while. They really didn't play well! Little was put in down 16 in the 4th. Throwing every down vs man coverage. Come on Bond! Now this week your doing it all over again. Someone give me a logical explanation on what is happening. Please!!!
September 14th, 2011
2:51 pm
Not even number 72 could save Bo from throwing INTs
September 14th, 2011
3:04 pm
Bond, where is Danny Williams and sidney Haynes in the gameplan? Get the qb in the game that can distibute the ball to proven players and can audible your weak calls into winners!!!!!!!
September 14th, 2011
3:11 pm
@ confused, I was thinking the same thing! It was a miracle when we were 13 to 10 instead of 20 to 3! Why no change right then? Give our players a chance to win. That was disgusting. I was planning on a road trip this weekend but I just don't know.
September 14th, 2011
3:23 pm
@ panther 10. Your right! Williams is a pre season all american and has been no factor! Bo is doing the best he can but I don't think he has the confidence to audible! Let's go coaches, lets get this thing right before it gets ugly fast!
September 14th, 2011
3:32 pm
even spurrier is smart enough to see garcia gives them the best chance to win. do you guy's want to lose.
September 14th, 2011
3:40 pm
Thanks Georgia State- you've managed to lose a season tecket holder after the performance at the last game. I'll be happy to support a losing team as long as they work hard, are coached well and show signs of progression. I haven't seen this and will be watching the rest of the available games on TV/online.

72 is OT Harrison Clottey.
CBC is doing the same thing he did with Drew in 2010. One good game, one bad game. Let us see how the JSU game goes. For those who want to jump off the bandwagon, you likely were never on it. We have played 13 games. Total. In history.
Deep breaths. See you in Jacksonville!
September 15th, 2011
9:59 am
@no more … I had similar feelings about missing the JSU game after I heard Bo was named the starter. I then realized it is not fair to punish our student athletes for poor coaching decisions. We have to support our school and players despite our coaches and athletic administrations flaws.
September 15th, 2011
10:15 am
I have no problem supporting our student-athletes, as far as I can tell, they are in no way to blame. However, paying for season tickets directly funds things that I do not agree with- the coaching staff being one of them. I will continue to be an avid Panthers fan and watch the games when available on TV/online but just can not support this coaching staff. Let me just say I'm not alone in cancelling my tickets- I have talked to others who have done the same.
September 15th, 2011
11:35 am
You are not supporting the Panthers by cancelling your season tickets. That is just silly.
Voice your concerns to the AD and President Becker.
September 15th, 2011
12:11 pm
@ No More, you do know that if everyone starts canceling their season tickets for petty reasons we won't have a football team to watch period? We are two games into year two of the program! Stop being an idiot and be thankful you have a team! What FANS around the country would ever cancel their season tickets a year and two games into a coaches new regime because they are unhappy with play calling!?!? Be realistic and relax for a second!
September 15th, 2011
12:36 pm
I'm not calling for everyone who has season tickets to cancel them- never said I was. If they're happy with the product that is being put on the field and the coaching that is in place, I think they should continue to do what they are doing. As for me (and some others), we don't feel that way. I feel my money could be better spent elsewhere.
September 15th, 2011
12:54 pm
We didn't play well last week but what was most noticeable to me was the size difference on the line. OD was 30+ lbs. per man bigger vs. our OL. All of the QBs got hurried and most running plays started with the OL a step backwards. The OL played tough but that size difference did matter as the game prgoressed. That situation didn't seem to allow a lot of room for error. I was surpsied we kept it as close as long as we did…there were soe excellent efforts on both sides of the bal. Hopefully, we can return to mistake-free football and keep oursevles in the game at JSU…I will be there!
September 15th, 2011
2:16 pm
$78 is sooooo much money to throw away supporting your schools football program. I think we have a pretty impressive product on the field considering we are TWO games into year TWO!
September 15th, 2011
2:40 pm
Well if it's "sooooo much money", I guess Georgia State won't miss my contribution. Seems like we're both better off.

No More, please be patient. Please, dont be a victim to the Now Generation. Everything has to be done right now. You want a championship season ASAP. You want a National championship for the 2013 season. Am I correct. Just stick in there the team needs your support. Be realistic and let the program work though it's kinks.This second yr program needs your support. We appreciate it if the "bandwagon folk tranfer to another team. If I am permitted I will be a panther fan as long as I live. I am an Alumnus and very proud to have a football team. What I would have given to have had a program during my attendance.

ODU is a middle of the pack CAA team this season. We need some improvement if we are to compete in the CAA. I know they have played one additional season more than GSU but the difference was very evident. And please, put some fans in the stands. That would help! I understand ODU has sold out every home game prior to the season (20,000). Now that is impressive!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey folks, there's a 50/50 chance we lose Saturday's game and an 90% chance we lose the following week. I'll be at Jax State on Saturday and in Houston next Saturday because I like those odds. Why, because sure bets are for people who should stay home. You want to NOT fill the dome, then just play teams we are supposed to beat. If the FBS teams did nothing but play FCS teams football would soon become very boring. I don't care if we win a single game I WILL be at each of them cheering on my alma mater. Sure I get mad when I see poor decisions and bad play calls, but at the end of the day it's just a game and the best part of it is the chance that we could win. The best game I ever went to was last year when Jax State came to the dome. Even though we lost I could not have been prouder of our kids. If you feel the need to be a fairweather fan so be it, I will be in the stands loving every minute, win or lose.
September 16th, 2011

You guys don't get it- I don't care if this team loses every single game this season. I would be more than happy to support them with season tickets. However- when I see that lack of coaching that is evident and the staff doesn't look to fix their issues, that's where I draw the line. I'm a GSU alum, never been a fan of UGA and certainly will continue to cheer on THE PLAYERS in every game. I don't expect much, just hard work from players and coaches. Right now, only one side of that is contributing.

I know plenty of folks that bring a laptop to meetings. I'm not talking about people that use a laptop to present materials or need specific data in the actual meeting.
I'm talking about people that bring a laptop to take notes or whatever.
I've seen entrepreneurs do it and I've seen some VCs do it.
I'm not a huge fan of this idea which is why I don't bring a laptop to meetings. Perhaps I'm old fashioned but I don't like the idea of someone presenting or an important topic is being discussed and someone else in the room is banging away on the keyboard.
I prefer to take notes on my moleskine notebook. Paper and a pen. No distractions. Focused.
However, I confess the iPad that I have on pre-order has me thinking. The iPad seems perfect to bring to a meeting. Small/thin form factor, instant on, big onscreen keyboard and quiet. And unlike a laptop, you can't hide behind the iPad screen.
Whaddya think? Bring an iPad to meetings or leave it in the bag?
For the past 5 years, I've been using a DSLR as my "real camera". It started when I bought the Canon Rebel and then a few years back I bought the 40d. It's an amazing camera that is fast & flexible. I have three very different lenses for almost every situation. It takes beautiful pictures.
But there is a problem with the 40d. It's big & heavy and I end up leaving it home a lot. It's not easy to carry that thing when I'm running around with three kids.
So the iPhone ends up taking a ton of photos which isn't great. Sure, it's excellent for the casual snapshot but I love photography, getting the right light and making pictures.
My brother has been excited about the micro four thirds system for some time now. He's a doctor by day and as a hobby runs a micro four thirds message board. He's been pushing me for the past year.

I absolutely love this camera. It's light and the 20mm lens that comes with the camera is sweet. Autofocus is fast. It takes HD video.
Right now the only thing I miss about the 40d for everyday shots is the view finder. The view finder comes in handy on sunny days and some old habits die hard I guess. I'll probably only use the 40d when I need my telephoto lens - otherwise I'm all about the GF1.
I highly recommend this camera if you are looking for an amazing camera but don't want to lug around a DSLR, You won't be disappointed.

jerry said it well.
Big companies often like to acquire great startups. Sometimes for good reasons or bad reasons. Sometimes they work out and sometimes they don't.
An overly simple way to think about selling out is comparing the desire to remain independent vs the acquisition price. There are many other factors but let's just leave it as a simple choice for now.
But the truth is its never that simple.
Recently I heard about a startup that turned down a higher offer from one company in favor of a lower offer from a different buyer. And i know some startups that would rather remain independent than selling out to a specific larger company that will remain nameless.
It's simply more than the money.
This is a healthy wake up call that big companies need to consider. It's not enough to wave a huge checkbook around. That isn't sufficient for the best startups. Big companies need to show startups how they will fit into the bigger picture, give the startup employees challenging & important positions, demonstrate why the combination will be in everyone's interest.
And of course make pre & post acquisition process clean and smooth.
I was running around yesterday bouncing from meeting to meeting but I did see this tweet by Josh Kopelman.
I hit "favorite" on Tweetie which is my way of bookmarking the tweet to read later.
So this morning I clicked through and read the entire article on the Huffington Post.
Senator Dodd is proposing a bill that introduces a review period on angel investments and reduces the number of angel investors.
That section would require, for the first time, companies seeking angel investment to make a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which would have 120 days to review it. This would both raise the cost of seeking angels and delay the ability of companies to benefit from their funding.
The negative impact of the SEC filing requirement would be aggravated by the proposed doubling of the net worth or income thresholds required for investors to be "accredited."
I'm not sure why Senator Dodd feels compelled to go after startups and angel investors but this is simply nuts. Angel investors play a critical role in the startup ecosystem.
I encourage you to contact your elected officials and let them know how you feel. That's what I'm going to do.
It's easy for a VC to give feedback on presentation and demo styles. We see zillions week in and week out.
The great ones stand out.
But it's easier said than done which is one of the reasons why I regularly give presentations. Whether it's at a conference, or our annual shareholder meeting or a meetup or panel or whatever. It's important to practice what you preach.
This afternoon I was at the YC Demo Day in Mountain View and sat through 26 startup presentations, back to back with just one brief break in the middle.
My head is spinning but I have to say, they all did a mighty fine job presenting their companies.
Things that stood out from a presentation point of view:
1 - You could see the passion in their eyes. These folks were pumped and it showed. And keep in mind this was Day 2, so they did this whole program the day before. Tireless passion. You can't teach this.
2 - Each presentation was roughly 5 minutes long. It sounds awfully quick but they made the most of it.
3 - I loved the rhythm of these presentation. Quick intro of the founders, problem description, product description and then demo. Bam, bam, bam. Perfect.
4 - A number of entrepreneurs used humor in their presentations in just the right amounts. Too little and the presentation can by dry. Too much and it's just, well, a joke. But the right amount is a wonderful way to engage your audience.
5 - Practice, practice, practice. It's obvious that Paul Graham, the founder of YC, plays a huge role in helping these (mostly) first time entrepreneurs find their way and put together their presentations. And it's also obvious that these founders practice their pitch over and over again so they can nail it in a room full of strangers.
I really enjoyed todays YC demo day. Very cool companies and founders showing how much is possible with a small amount of capital.
Well done!
One of my favorite music sites is Daytrotter.
It's such a cool site - love the music and the feel of the site. I also dig the drawings of the various artists.
I've gotten to know George Howard from this blog and it turns out he works with Daytrotter. Today, i received this cool Daytrotter drawing based on my current profile pic on Twitter.
I really like it and will most likely make it my new image on my various social nets.
Thanks George!
I use eBay from time to time. I buy things that I can't purchase easily from Amazon or locally, like out of stock items. The perfect use case for me these days is buying vinyl records on eBay. It's worked like a charm for me every time and I'm buying records across the globe.
Selling on eBay is awful in my experience. I have a lot of gadgets. So recently I decided to list some of them on eBay.
The process to list an item is painful in my opinion but that's not the bad part.
The bad part is what comes next. Endless requests from people asking if you will end the auction early, or go around ebay, or people bidding & winning an auction and then flaking out. I'm now 0 for 3. I think I'm done.
There has to be a better way. What do you think? Is my experience likes yours or is it much better for everyone else?
This summer, my family and i are moving to NYC for the first two weeks in August. My oldest daughter was accepted into the ABT summer program so we decided we would all do this together.
So now I need to find a place to rent. Ideally looking for a 3-4 bedroom in the West Village, Chelsea or soho.
Any pointers or suggestions would be great.
Thanks in advance!
How I experience music these days hasn't changed much over the past few years.
It's still mostly a combination of folks I follow on Tumblr and Twitter. I also find out about new bands from the Hype Machine. And I get my social radio fix from last.fm.
The new thing in the mix for me is Extension.fm which I've written about before.
And I love all of these services. They are simply amazing.
However, I'm wondering if this mix of tools is the right approach or does a more focused service need to exist to be laser focused on providing the best social network experience for music.
Right now, last.fm does a great job keeping track of my music playback history with their scrobbler. It works across multiple third party services and that data is pure gold.
But there isn't a timeline. The logged in home page doesn't look social even though there is a lot of social stuff built into the guts of the service like friends and neighborhood radio..
Here's what the last.fm home page looks like:
That's not the timeline or dashboard interface I've come to love from my favorite social nets.
There are also a variety of other tools out there that keep track of stuff my friends buy or consume (think Blippy). When a friend of mine buys a new record, shouldn't that stuff show up in a music social net timeline? Or when they heart their favorite track on hypem or tumblr. Or when they see a live show?
I think there is a lot of opportunity to create a lightweight, simple & focused music social network that does a few things right and supports other services too.
The danger is that it becomes a dysfunctional swiss army knife which would be a missed opportunity.
I was reading Fred's post today, The Ideal Phone System, and what stands out is how many older technologies didn't stand the test of time because they were designed with a different set of assumptions about the evolution of voice.
In some ways, Fred's post reminds me of my longtime desire to find the ideal home entertainment system.
As we've moved a number of times, I've created and changed our home a/v system several times over. In a nutshell (with many iterations along the way) my home entertainment system has evolved from:
-designed my own PC based server streaming media to PCs/Macs connected to our av system (optimized for local media)
-then I went to a closed, complicated, proprietary, expensive system (also optimized for local media)
-now I use low cost, easy to use products that mostly stream online media (some are open and others are closed but getting better)
The key thing is that the systems I had in the past assumed I had large amounts of home storage requirements. I can't find it at the moment but I wrote a blog post a number of years ago about the challenges of backing up & organizing my media.
You would think as time went on that this problem would have compounded in complexity and demand. After all I regularly create and consumer more content photos, videos, music, text, etc).
But these days my home entertainment system is actually simple and fairly easy to maintain.
So what's different now?
The vast majority of my content is streamed from the web. It's not on my local network. Its a stream that I request and not a file that I manage. That's a fundamental change thanks to our wonderful FIOS 20/20Mbps network. And as far as I'm concerned any devices that I add to my entertainment system has to be built for the internet stream and not the local file.
* * *
It's intersting to watch TiVo make this change. The original TiVo was designed in a world where the best video content came from your cable operator. These days online video is extremely compelling and getting better all the time. So TiVo is changing. It's less about bigger and bigger disks in the DVR and more about web content. That's smart.
Maybe it's because I was a boy scout growing up or a brown belt in taekwondo or maybe it was growing up on Long Island or maybe it's because I'm short….I'm really not sure. But I've always had an allergic reaction to the tough guy, to the bully.
To me, it's an attitude problem that I don't care for. It's where someone thinks that by acting like a tough guy they can push people around or force people to agree with them.
The worst offender are those that think it's weak to treat people with respect.
Well, I didn't like it then and I definately don't like it now.
That is one of the best parts of my job. I don't have to work with bullies.
I just don't have the time or desire.
Some of my friends (Seth Goldstein & Jon Steinberg) launched a new product last week called Stickybits.
It's a powerful idea. You can essentially add digital content (comments, links, photos, etc) to any physical object.
Here's how it works. First, download unique barcodes from Stickybits and attach them to an object. I have one on the back window of my car. If you have the Stickybits app on your iPhone or Android phone, you scan that barcode and leave a comment if you see my car.
That's just one example. There are many more. Essentially, every physical object can now have a URL attached to it. The service also notifies you if someone adds content to a particular item if you choose.
You can also order Stickybits stickers which look a lot cooler (and more functional) than the printed codes. I bought a pack and already have plans of where I'm going to put them.
Here's an easy way to check out how simple this all is. Download the app on your iPhone or Android. Then scan this barcode below from the app and leave me a message, photo or video. It's really fun.
Blogging has come a long way since I started first reading blogs and since my first blog post (old blog on typepad).
They have evolved from a pure publishing one to many model into a two way system where follow/follower, comments, reblogs, and "likes" provide a whole new experience.
But one thing I've noticed is that a blog post may receive a fair amount of interaction on the first day, little if any interaction on day 2 and it drops off big time after that. Even though Google directs a nice chunk of traffic to older posts, the interaction is still low.
Compare that with an message board. Head over to a forum like dpreview and you'll see a conversation going about a particular camera or lens that started a month ago and is still on fire.
And those message board tools haven't changed significantly in years. The don't have threading or email replies that modern platforms like Disqus offers. Nor do they easily allow sharing of images, videos, links etc. There isn't a follow/follower model.
I'd love to hear any thoughts on why blog posts don't "live long" from an interaction standpoint or maybe my perception is wrong. I don't think it's the content. The quality of the content I read on blogs is quite high (and certainly better than message board posts).
So here's the thing I get asked all the time: should all VCs blog?
Clearly, there are many successful VCs that are active bloggers.
But there are plenty of great venture capitalists that don't blog at all.
I believe it really comes down to personal comfort. I believe VCs should blog if they truly enjoy it and not because they feel it's about marketing or a way to show entrepreneurs how thoughtful they are (or think they are <g>). I suppose its like everything else in life - do what you love.
As someone that started in the venture business less than 5 years ago, I can't imagine not blogging, participating, and showing up every day. It's too much fun, too much learning and too much I want to share to ever give this up.
I'm having an absolute blast going through the old photos that I recently digitized.
Here's my first apartment I rented in SF back in the summer of 1992 (I was 22). It was on Waller Street, one block off the Haight.
That's Lauren and my brother Amin in the pic. Lauren lived around the corner on Frederick and Cole St. Amin and I drove out together from Boston to SF in just four days. I taught him how to drive stick along the way.
My apartment was a studio - 600sq feet. The rent was $700 a month. The bathroom was so small that you had to walk in sideways to get passed the shower.
It was a fun place.
With every (venture backed) consumer web startup there is always the question of when to start thinking about monetization.
If the monthly burn is modest, I usually suggest that startups focus on reaching scale first.
It's not because I don't care about revenue or because I embrace "hope as a strategy" (which never works).
Rather it's because:
1 - when your user base is small it really doesn't matter if you can get advertising, digital goods, subscription revenue going. The base is so small the conversion will be even smaller.
2 - startups need to focus, especially in the the early stage. With limited resources, the company needs to focus on the product and the users. If you start tinkering revenue too early then you suddenly find yourself having to borrow precious team resources to deal with various revenue projects. They always look small and innocent at first but they can snowball and can distract the team.
3. the ultimate revenue model may surprise you. as the product develops and evolves and your community grows, the revenue model is likely to reveal itself in an entirely new way. I've seen this happen several times and it's a powerful reminder each time.
So when I meet a founder and he/she tells me that they are confident that they can monetize their future service with ads or subscription or whatever, I blow by that slide. I want to know about the product and how they are planning on growing the service to reach scale. That's a leap of faith we both need to take at some level but that's what I want to talk about vs a 2015 revenue forecast.
p.s.: Congrats to our portfolio company Tumblr for focusing on growth. Last year I remember David Karp, the founder of Tumblr, came to a board mtg. and said he was going to delay his monetization experiments and focus on growth. He had a game plan and told us about it. I'm so glad he did just that.

The Detroit Tigers are getting some much-needed relief.Multiple reports say the Tigers have signed 38-year old right-handed reliever, Octavio Dotel.
Dotel has reportedly agreed to a one-year contract with Detroit for an estimated $3.5 million.
Dotel has played in the major leagues for 13 season and has pitched for 12 different teams - the most of any player in MLB history. When he plays his first game for Detroit, he will be the first player ever to play for 13 MLB teams.
Dotel pitched for the Blue Jays and Cardinals last season, compiling a 5-4 record and a 3.50 ERA. In the postseason he had a 2.61 ERA with St. Louis in 12 relief appearances.

PAW PAW (WKZO) -- Formal charges will be filed against a South Haven area woman who allegedly led Hartford Police on a high speed chase that left an officer with minor injuries.
It began with a routine stop for improper plates at Center and Shepard in Hartford. The woman gave them a Missouri Driver's License that belonged to someone else, and when the officer pointed it out, she tried to flee. The Officer grabbed on and was briefly dragged but let go and managed to give chase in his cruiser.
They say the woman tried to shake the officers by trying to ram the cruiser. The chase ended when she went into a ditch off Red Arrow near 59-1/2 St. She ran into the woods and had to be tracked down by a K-9. When they found her she allegedly resisted arrest.
She is expected to be charged with multiple felonies, including fleeing and eluding and resisting, and perhaps a few others today.

From Proteopedia
Crystal structure of the Endothelial protein C receptor with phospholipid in the groove in complex with Gla domain of protein C.
The endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR) shares approximately 20% sequence identity with the major histocompatibility complex class 1/CD1 family of molecules, accelerates the thrombin-thrombomodulin-dependent generation of activated protein C, a natural anticoagulant, binds to activated neutrophils, and can undergo translocation from the plasma membrane to the nucleus. Blocking protein C/activated protein C binding to the receptor inhibits not only protein C activation but the ability of the host to respond appropriately to bacterial challenge, exacerbating both the coagulant and inflammatory responses. To understand how EPCR accomplishes these multiple tasks, we solved the crystal structure of EPCR alone and in complex with the phospholipid binding domain of protein C. The structures were strikingly similar to CD1d. A tightly bound phospholipid resides in the groove typically involved in antigen presentation. The protein C binding site is outside this conserved groove and is distal from the membrane-spanning domain. Extraction of the lipid resulted in loss of protein C binding, which could be restored by lipid reconstitution. CD1d augments the immune response by presenting glycolipid antigens. The EPCR structure is a model for how CD1d binds lipids and further suggests additional potential functions for EPCR in immune regulation, possibly including the anti-phospholipid syndrome.

From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
[PROC_HUMAN] Defects in PROC are the cause of thrombophilia due to protein C deficiency, autosomal dominant (THPH3) [MIM:176860]. A hemostatic disorder characterized by impaired regulation of blood coagulation and a tendency to recurrent venous thrombosis. However, many adults with heterozygous disease may be asymptomatic. Individuals with decreased amounts of protein C are classically referred to as having type I protein C deficiency and those with normal amounts of a functionally defective protein as having type II deficiency.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Defects in PROC are the cause of thrombophilia due to protein C deficiency, autosomal recessive (THPH4) [MIM:612304]. A hemostatic disorder characterized by impaired regulation of blood coagulation and a tendency to recurrent venous thrombosis. It results in a thrombotic condition that can manifest as a severe neonatal disorder or as a milder disorder with late-onset thrombophilia. The severe form leads to neonatal death through massive neonatal venous thrombosis. Often associated with ecchymotic skin lesions which can turn necrotic called purpura fulminans, this disorder is very rare.
[EPCR_HUMAN] Binds activated protein C. Enhances protein C activation by the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex; plays a role in the protein C pathway controlling blood coagulation. [PROC_HUMAN] Protein C is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease that regulates blood coagulation by inactivating factors Va and VIIIa in the presence of calcium ions and phospholipids.

I bought a new home and this was the ungraded appliance package that came with the house. They are beautiful peices of art "apple"like in quality and design. I love the mat gray interior too. Cleans well and heats perfectly. The only "con" would be and maybe it's user error but there's no minute button like pushing the number two and the microwave cooks for two minutes. Also the button do not light up at night so it's hard to see.

Sometimes you find bugs on MOS (Metalink, OCIS, whatever) that make you feel positively ill. I've just been on a customer site where (in passing) they mentioned that one of their historic queries against v$sqlstats now tool just over one second (CPU) in 126.96.36.199 when it had previously taken about 200ms on 10.2.0.4***. After a little checking it seemed likely that the change was possibly related to the fact that they had increased the size of the SGA significantly, allowing for a much larger shared pool and library cache; however there have been numerous code changes in the shared pool area on the route from 10g to 11g, so I decided to check MOS to see if anyone else had seen a similar problem. I found this:

11.2 New views
It looks like Laimutis Nedzinskas has spent some time producing a list of new views, and changes to existing views, for trouble-shooting specialists. The lists cover the dynamic performance views and the AWR history views, and the differences between 10.2 and 11.2. The lists include, where relevant, convenient hyperlinks to the view definitions in the online copy of the 11g Server Reference manual.
I haven't checked the lists in detail, but I can see myself taking advantage of his efforts from time to time:
- New/Changed dynamic performance views (v$)
- New/Changed AWR data dictionary views (dba_hist).

AWR Reports
A little thought for those who use OEM to generate AWR reports – if you generate the standard HTML form and then try posting it into (say) the OTN database forum when you want some help interpreting it, it won't look very readable (even if you do remember to put the right tags before and after to reproduce it in fixed font).

Analysing Statspack 12
[Further Reading on Statspack]
Part 12 is about a 2-node RAC system. Someone recently posted links to a matched pair of AWR reports in this thread on the OTN Database General forum and, after I had made a couple of quick comments on them, gave me permission to use them on my blog.

AWR Dilemma
Here's an odd little observation that came out of the UKOUG conference last week:
If you're running 10g, and don't have the relevant performance pack and diagnostic licences there are various views you are not allowed to query, packages you are not allowed to run, and reports you are not allowed to read.
To support the performance diagnostics, though, your database is probably churning away constantly dumping all sorts of useful data into the memory structures and tables that you are not allowed to access.
But that's no longer a problem – it looks as if you can disable the AWR collection very easily in 10.2 with the following procedure call:
execute dbms_workload_repository.modify_snapshot_settings(interval => 0)
There's just one problem with this – you can't run this package unless you're licensed to run the AWR. So if you want to disable the AWR, it looks like you have to pay to run it first.

COOOOL!! A Thread I can actually speak with experience on!!
OK... So we, (wife & myself) shoot WB, however - the son's bow has an arrest type rest... (Say that 5x fast). It makes contact at 3 pointson the shaft only. It's pretty cool. I think an "arrest type" rest like my sons may work better with quick-spins than the WB does.
The problem in addition to the stiffness of the "whiskers" in regards to quick spins is that the vanes usually turn so fast you lose KE. I saw the math on another site that escapes me now, but it's out there.
Now... against advice... I shot 4" vanes through my WB. What I started to see was that the vanes were ruffeling. Sorta like what you see when you look at a Ruffels potato chip. Also... my biscuit now has whiskers going every which way. Obvuisly the 4" vane is out, and I have switched back to the reccommended 2" blazer. Before I got new shafts, I really didn't have any vane issues crop up, other than shooting a broadhead right over the top of another shaft. Then I sliced the thing right off.
There should be a triangle formed at the bottom of the biscuit disc in black whiskers that is harder that the brown ones. That is so the shaft has a place to rest on something stiffer that surrounding hairs. That black area is what destroys the vanes more than anything else, and I put this forth as well, I think the shafts that do see problems are old and possibly not well-kept anyway.
In short... after God knows how many shots, I've not lost a vane yet to the whisker bisuit when I use the proper arrow in the first place.
Hope that helps!

Dubstep, Breaks, Drum'n'Bass, House.
As a society we seem to love to categorize things by type, style, shape and sound. One thing we love to categorize more than anything else is our beloved music; the soundtrack to our lives.
But it doesn't stop there. Once you hit a genre, you've got sub-genres. Not content with umbrellas dictating how your style must sound, how your mixing must be, how the structure of your song must flow, each slight difference will lump you in a subtly different category.
You like drum'n'bass? Is it Techstep? Darkstep? Atmospheric? Jazzy? Liquid? Ragga?
You like house? Minimal? Progressive? Deep? Ambient? Electro? Hard (hee hee)?
A recent Gizmodo article shows that music hasn't really evolved a great deal in 50 years. Despite fragmenting musical styles into (increasingly strict) requirements, science is telling us we're just splitting the same music into increasingly restrictive genres. What's more is that some of the most heated and bitter arguments stem from the discussions of music and music artists. The better artist. The better style. Why one style is inferior to another. Why this music isn't in that genre because it doesn't follow the exact rules and regulations of the archetype.
So here I am, sitting amidst a shattered landscape with a fistful of musical notes. I have to get someone to listen to me amidst this mess.
I think I've got my work cut out for me here. You see, I've tried to 'pick' a genre for some time now and it's just not working. So I'm going to stop pretending I want to be constricted and I'm just going to write music. I'm going to paint you a picture free of constraints and I'll see where it takes us. Chances are my music may be disliked because I don't fit a mold – I never fit one in life anyway, so I suppose it's no big loss. Chances are my music may be pigeonholed into some trivial genre and arguments occur for days on message boards where I fit in the grand scheme of musical styles. Chances are I'll stumble upon something amazing and new and break the cycle of repetition and conformity.
I figure it's time we collectively threw caution to the wind and tried something different. We are long overdue. I'll take the first step; Let's see who follows.

We've all really enjoyed the last couple days of rain, but unfortunately, once again, it wasn't enough to give that big boost that our area lakes really need.
District 69 Representative James Frank says evaporation sucks up more of the city's water than citizens do.
City utility officials say there are several reason a person's water bill may spike which could range from a leak to the misreading of the water meter and more.
Wichita Falls water users could soon see a spike in their monthly bills.
Henrietta's plan to make every drop count is being pushed back.
Because lake levels are so low, the Wichita Falls Police Department's dive team has to travel hundreds of miles just to find a lake that has enough water so they can train.
A South Texas city still struggling with drought has started enforcing tougher water-use restrictions.
In this drought and scorching hot weather, drinking water is the number one priority, but it's also in high demand for other reasons such as cooling off. This year, public pools that are open are seeing that demand peaking every day as crowds come to seek relief from the heat.
Altus is continuing to encourage residents to conserve as they continue to look at options to increase their water supply.
As area lakes continue to shrink, Wichita Falls city officials are doing all they can to lessen the long term impacts of the relentless drought that has plagued Texoma since the end of 2010
As the Wichita Falls water reuse project enters its third week, another Texoma town is now looking into reusing its waste water.
Despite efforts to make sure every drop counts, dry conditions continue to take a toll on landscaping in Texoma.
Some Texomans have found a simple way to make every drop count.
As the worst drought in Wichita Falls' history continues, businesses are having to find new ways to make every drop count.
Recent rainfall has made residents at Lake Kickapoo hopeful, as they continue to conserve water and pray for rain.
The heavy rain Texoma received this week was a welcome sight.
Now that water haulers can't buy water from the River Road Wastewater Treatment Plant, they're looking to well owners to help them continue their businesses. We caught up with one water well owner who says he's having to expand his business so he can supply the haulers with the amount of water they need.
Wichita Falls leaders say people have conserved water so well that city budget funds are coming up short, but that shortcoming may have an effect on your water bill.
California water regulators have voted to approve fines up to $500 a day for residents who waste water on lawns, landscaping and car washing.
The money to fund that evaporation suppression test will come out of the city's general fund because the sewer and water fund is out of reserve money.

This Amanda Bynes meltdown gets more bizarre by the day. After two hit-and-run charges while driving on a suspended liscense, the star reportedly locked herself inside a public bathroom in New York City.
Okay. Now I'm seriously worried about the poor girl. This has to be the strangest turn yet. Obsessively hanging out in your car is one thing, but an NYC public restroom. That's weird and gross!
According to witnesses, Bynes stopped into the Little Cupcake Bakeshop in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood. Though it was 9 p.m., she was sporting sunglasses and ordered a Dreaming Princess cupcake and cappuccino with extra sugar. Doesn't sound all that crazy so far, right? Just wait.
After getting her goodies, she headed into the bathroom where she stayed for more than 30 minutes. Other customers began to worry about her, including a fireman who tried to figure out what was going on with the star. Explained one onlooker:
He knocked on the bathroom door numerous times and called for her. The workers at the bakery even turned down the music to see if they could hear any noise coming from the bathroom. He tried to get her to respond, through the door, for almost 15 minutes. Finally, he called the police and asked if he had their okay to break down the door.
She didn't utter one word. No response at all. Her silence just made everyone worry even more. Fearing she was unconscious, the firefighter was going to break down the door, but then suddenly, Amanda emerged nonchalant, as if she'd just taken a quick tinkle. A bakery employee then escorted her out the back door.
Amanda was also reportedly acting oddly during a gym class recently. She walked around trying to go to a bike nearer to the mirror and then removed her top, revealing a tiny, black strapless push-up bra instead of a sports bra. Then, 20 minutes in, she stopped pedaling to pick up her purse and reapply her makeup. Ten minutes after that, the instructor threw her out.
Poor Amanda. What in the world is going on with this girl?
Does Amanda Bynes' behavior worry you?
It's sad that her parents haven't intervened yet. Supposedly they have control over her finances though.
just yikes
Something is off... Im not sure if its drugs, or anorexia or some kind of mental illness. I just hope that she is able to seek help in the very near future if she needs it.
Yes, it is concerning. I used to think she was one that that didn't get caught up in all the drugs and bad stuff that so many of them do. It looks like it might have caught up to her finally and it's really sad. She is so pretty and has so much going for her. You hate to see her throw it all away.

My presentation with Threadless at the Fashion140 conference speaking about our work with the Demi & Ashton Foundation on the "Real Men Don't Buy Girls" campaign.
As promised… please see the presentation Threadless and I used for our speaking engagement at the Fashion140 conference on May 4, 2011 for the DNA Foundation's "Real Men Don't Buy Girls" campaign.
I will be speaking at the Fashion140 Conference tomorrow here in New York City about my agency's work with the DNA Foundation on the "Real Men Don't Buy Girls" campaign.
This will legit be my first speaking engagement and I hope I don't screw it up. I prefer to be more of a Robert Duffy rather than a Marc Jacobs- but eh, Marc isn't so bad.
Anyway, I am really excited to share the components of our campaign and more importantly introduce the cause to a large & captive (hopefully) audience. If you aren't able to attend, they will be live-streaming the conference on Fashion140.com - or at least you will find the information to direct you to the right place to watch. I will be on around 3:20ish or so, but there are so many amazing speakers I would definitely check it out.

I hate when you see something interesting at a conference and never get the deck to review in detail, so I will be posting my full presentation here afterwards.
Real Men Don't Buy Girls Campaign
We just launched the Demi & Ashton Foundation's media campaign to promote awareness of child sex slavery in the United States. I never really understood how prevalent this issue is in our country, it seemed to me like this is something people in a far off land had to worry about, but did you know that there are between 100K-300K AMERICAN kids currently enslaved for sex in AMERICA? I sure as hell didn't, and as a Momma, I am appalled by that statistic. Furthermore, the average American girl forced into sex slavery in the US is only 13. The global sex slavery market generates $32 billion in profits annually with 76% of these transactions happening ONLINE.
This is obviously a very serious issue and sunshine is the best disinfectant. So, the premise of the campaign is to generate awareness about this issue through an interactive video series. We were able to secure a ton of celebs (Justin Timberlake, Sean Penn, Isaiah Mustafa, Bradley Cooper, Jamie Foxx, Drake- just to name a few) to create funny videos about what Real Men do and what they absolutely don't do, buy girls. Real Men Don't Buy Girls. They all live on Facebook and you then have the ability to integrate yourself into the video, don't worry you don't have to film anything, you just authorize your Facebook profile to provide access to the app to scrape your profile picture. You are then integrated into the end of the video, and as long as you don't have a very unusual name, one of the famous female celebs will say "Mike is a Real Man" or "Jessica prefers a Real Man" pointing to your pic.
We have been working on this campaign for months and I have to say I am not only super impressed with both Ashton and Demi, but also the entire team of people who helped us get this off the ground. A huge thank you to the team at Katalyst Films, Global Philanthropy and of course my kick ass team at Starworks Group. That said, I assure you that Ashton and Demi did not just wave a wand to make this all happen. They are two of the brightest, hardest working people I know and they really are social media strategists, they don't just play them on TV.
So the question is… Are you a Real Man? Do you prefer Real Men?

The general overview of the build process was given in the user documentation. This section provides additional details, and some specific rules.
To recap, building a target with specific properties includes the following steps:
applying default build,
selecting the main target alternative to use,
determining "common" properties,
building targets referred by the sources list and dependency properties,
adding the usage requirements produces when building dependencies to the "common" properties,
building the target using generators,
computing the usage requirements to be returned.
When there are several alternatives, one of them must be selected. The process is as follows:
- For each alternative condition is defined as the set of base properties in requirements. [Note: it might be better to specify the condition explicitly, as in conditional requirements].
- An alternative is viable only if all properties in condition are present in build request.
- If there's one viable alternative, it's choosen. Otherwise, an attempt is made to find one best alternative. An alternative a is better than another alternative b, iff the set of properties in b's condition is a strict subset of the set of properities of 'a's condition. If there's one viable alternative, which is better than all others, it's selected. Otherwise, an error is reported.
The "common" properties is a somewhat artificial term. Those are the intermediate property set from which both the build request for dependencies and properties for building the target are derived.
Since default build and alternatives are already handled, we have only two inputs: build requests and requirements. Here are the rules about common properties.
Non-free feature can have only one value
A non-conditional property in requirement in always present in common properties.
A property in build request is present in common properties, unless (2) tells otherwise.
If either build request, or requirements (non-conditional or conditional) include an expandable property (either composite, or property with specified subfeature value), the behaviour is equivalent to explicitly adding all expanded properties to build request or requirements.
If requirements include a conditional property, and condiiton of this property is true in context of common properties, then the conditional property should be in common properties as well.
If no value for a feature is given by other rules here, it has default value in common properties.
Those rules are declarative, they don't specify how to compute the common properties. However, they provide enough information for the user. The important point is the handling of conditional requirements. The condition can be satisfied either by property in build request, by non-conditional requirements, or even by another conditional property. For example, the following example works as expected:
exe a : a.cpp : <toolset>gcc:<variant>release <variant>release:<define>FOO ;
Several factors determine the location of a concrete
file target. All files in a project are built under
the directory bin unless this is overriden by the build-dir project
attribute. Under bin is a path that depends on the properties
used to build each target. This path is uniquely determined by
all non-free, non-incidental properties. For example,
given a property set containing:
<toolset>gcc <toolset-gcc:version>4.6.1 <variant>debug
<warnings>all <define>_DEBUG <include>/usr/local/include
the path will be gcc-4.6.1/debug/link-static. <warnings> is an
incidental feature and <define> and <include> are
free features, so they do not affect the path.
Sometimes the paths produced by Boost.Build can become excessively long. There are a couple of command line options that can help with this. --abbreviate-paths reduces each element to no more than five characters. For example, link-static becomes lnk-sttc. The --hash option reduces the path to a single directory using an MD5 hash.
There are two features that affect the build directory. The <location> feature completely overrides the default build directory. For example,
exe a : a.cpp : <location>. ;
builds all the files produced by
in the directory of the Jamfile. This is generally
discouraged, as it precludes variant builds.
The <location-prefix> feature adds a prefix to the path, under the project's build directory. For example,
exe a : a.cpp : <location-prefix>subdir ;
will create the files for
a in bin/subdir/gcc-4.6.1/debug

50+: Live Better, Longer
Age 65 and Up: Fatal Falls Increasing
Nov. 17, 2006 -- Falls are the top cause of accidental deaths in people age 65 and older, and fatal fall rates are rising, says the CDC.
The CDC reports that 13,700 people age 65 and older died of fall-related injuries in 2003.
For comparison, more than 563,000 people in that age group died of heart disease and more than 388,000 died of cancer in 2003.
Fatal fall rates rose for both men and women between 1993 and 2003, with higher rates for men.
Forty-six per 100,000 men age 65 and older died from falls in 2003. That rate is 45% higher than in 1993.
Among women of the same age, about 31 per 100,000 died from falls in 2003, a 60% increase since 1993.
The figures appear in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
Nonfatal Falls
Overall, no major changes were seen in rates for nonfatal fall injuries.
More women than men are hospitalized for hip fractures.
But hip fracture hospitalization rates for women age 65 and older "appear to be declining," while men's hip fracture rate "has not decreased and might be increasing," says the CDC.
Women's hip fracture hospitalization rates might be down due to wider screening and treatment of osteoporosis in women, notes the CDC.
Men typically get osteoporosis and hip fractures later than women. "Screening and osteoporosis treatment might be broadened to include older men," says the CDC.
"Injuries from falls, and the fear of falling, lead older adults to limit their activities, which can interfere with independent living. But we know that falls are not inevitable," says Ileana Arias, PhD, in a CDC news release.
Arias directs the CDC's Injury Center.
Preventing Falls
The CDC's web site includes these tips on fall prevention for older adults:
- Exercise regularly (get your doctor's approval first).
- Have your doctor or pharmacist review your medicines, including over-the-counter medicines.
- Have your vision checked at least once yearly by an eye doctor.
- Get up slowly from sitting or lying down.
- Wear shoes inside and outside the house.
- Avoid going barefoot or wearing slippers.
- Keep emergency numbers in large print near each phone.
- Put a phone near the floor in case you fall and can't get up.
- Think about wearing an alarm device that will bring help in case you fall and can't get up.
Home Safety Tips
The CDC's web site also includes tips for older adults on making homes safer to help prevent falls:
- Improve the lighting.
- Hang lightweight curtains or shades to reduce glare.
- Remove throw rugs or use them with a nonslip backing.
- Keep objects like papers, books, and towels off the floor.
- Coil or tape cords and wires next to the wall so you can't trip over them.
- Fix loose or uneven steps.
- Put overhead lights at the top and bottom of steps.
- Make sure carpet on steps is firmly attached to every step.
- Put nonslip rubber treads on uncarpeted stairs.
- Fix loose handrails.
- Paint a contrasting color on the top edge of all steps so you can see the stairs better. For instance, use a light-colored paint on dark wood.

it is light ae damage, unless he has like 7 stacks of damage increase, in which case the problem is your dps not the attack hitting hard.
The main problem I have seen with the AE (besides his damage buff getting too high) is when new patches of fire also pop up or people run into existing patches while the AE damage happens. Its not a hard fight to heal, he basically announces when he is going to hit hard and mostly you need to prep for that and the AE damage. I would say that there are a few environmental factors that make things hard when you are first learning the fight, but once you know what to do it is easy. One thing a lot of people point out is that it is hard to see the flame patches in the orange glowing center of the room, which is a big portion of the space. Also, when the AE damage happens you've got a lot of boom, pop and sizzle going on and it also make it hard to distinguish flame patches. Ironically putting the spell graphics on high also fills your screen with a big red swath of fire during the AE. If people keep mindful of these things, though it should be an easy fight.
The worst part is when he spawns fire right underneath you the very second he starts doing Burning Breath.
This has happened to me at least twice now, and it seems that due to latency, by the time I've moved out of the fire (something which I'm pretty good at, usually about 1 second at most) I'm still dead!
Also, I was in a group that downed Koro on 25m on the night of release, and goddamn that Burning Breath hit like a ton of bricks. I know there was no blue posts about them nerfing the damage to that attack, but since that first night it doesn't seem to hit as hard. Might just be because I'm expecting it, or the healers I'm running with now understand the fight... meh.
Yeah, that has happened to me too. A single tick of the fire debuff during the aoe is enough to kill instantly. I actually think it's slightly unfair that fires spawn during the aoe, it's very hard to see and move quick enough, and DBM doesn't help because you'll be dead when the warning pops up. I've taken to moving around for the duration of the aoe just in case.
