Cylon or Human? Ask your iPhone.Courtney Carlisle - BlackBerry Addict
With the fate of Galactica, not to mention humanity, hanging in the balance and one cylon left to be identified in this final season, this is clearly one of the greatest frackin' apps (and clearly one of the most fun) for sci fi fans everywhere. Simply "scan" your subject (by taking a picture) and run them through the detector to find out whether or not your classmate or boss is toaster or human.
You never know who's going to turn out to be a cylon...but you can save their picture and notify all of your other friends by email. For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, time to get the first season on DVD and call it a weekend.
Are you on Team Adama (human) or Team Tigh (cylon)?

This Pro Track® ceiling fixture features a contemporary design with frosted glass track heads and a chrome finish.
A crisp, organic shape is carried from the base of the track heads through the frosted glass. The joining bar features tapered, ridged ends and a chrome finish.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
We are doing our small galley kitchen with all stainless shelving & appliances a la "Chopped" kitchen and this track light is perfect. It fits nicely over the Stainless shelving, but does not interfere. Fairly easy to install, nicely finished. Be careful to use the little bulb sleeves when installing the bulbs so as not to get oils from your hands on the Halogen bulbs!!!!
But other than that really nice install, gives off a lot of light in our galley kitchen (14x9) If my kitchen were bigger I'd use 3 or 4 of these!!
Would recommend this for sure!
very attractive item. bright and light impression.
Like the frosted shades because halogen light bulbs are bright. Much nicer and more delicate than my old track lighting.
Our associates are standing by to assist you.

Internationally-recognized graphic designer, Judith Mayer has rebranded each season with the Towle Theater in Hammond and most recently unveiled this season's 10th anniversary design. With her nonprofit work ranging from the Joffrey Ballet in Chicago to the Wild Dolphin Foundation in Hawaii, Mayer's passion for design is deeply rooted in community initiatives.
Throughout her 15 years as an entrepreneur, Mayer has attained over 45 national and international awards and accolades for her visual designs; mainly logo designs. In November, 2012 her design for the Towle Theater logo was published in the Logo3 international book of logos.
When working with nonprofits, Mayer appreciates the relationship that develops when the client allows her the freedom of creativity and boldness that she strives to cultivate in every undertaking.
"Typically nonprofits don't place much focus on marketing, even though they have a greater need for designers and guidance," said Mayer. Her goal is to show them that they can have something new with great impact, but not as expensive as they may think.
"I tend to do more in the style of Paul Rand," said Mayer. "He's a famous logo designer and I embrace his philosophy of avoiding visual clichés and trendy designs that will quickly become dated."
A recent transplant to Chicago, Mayer lived in Highland, up until this year. She finds inspiration in the architecture and signage around her, which she says creep into her work and push her into new territories with her creativity.
"One of the biggest misconceptions is that I am just going to make something pretty or decorative for a client," Mayer said. Helping each client understand the power of branding and visual communication is what drives Mayer to continue pursuing this profession.
Mayer is always looking for a new challenge and consistently submits her work to design publications. "I don't just enter any competition, I only submit to the ones that have a history of submitting work I admire," said Mayer.
"My favorite design is always the one I did last, because as I grow, I find flaws in my older designs and push myself harder with each new concept."

Get a fast, effective total body workout. Benefits people of ALL fitness levels (pro athletes to seniors)
Kettle Bells
The kettlebell is one of the most versatile tools for all-around athletic development. Kettlebell training uses the entire body for virtually every movement pattern, enhancing strength, balance, and hand-eye coordination. Kettlebells also strengthen the body's seat of power, the hips, and with a well-developed hip drive, individuals can improve any skill that requires power, such as running or jumping. Besides developing strength and power, kettlebells also add intensity to cardio workouts, making them an excellent addition to group exercise classes, personal training, and individual workouts.
In this class we are going to get those abs flat, rock those legs, and tighten that bummy! Abs-Thighs-Bummy, time to get beach ready.
CARDIO. WEIGHTS. SWEAT. Bootcamp will combine a number of full body exercises placed in a circuit-training format to push the body's cardiovascular system.
Cardio training can be running, jump rope, high knees, cones, anything to get the heart going! Infuse this with some TRX core & abs and you have a dynamic duo that will get you lean.
We take the "work" out of workout, by mixing low-intensity and high-intensity moves for an interval-style, calorie-burning dance fitness party. Once the Latin and World rhythms take over, you'll see why Zumba® Fitness classes are often called exercise in disguise. Super effective? Check. Super fun? Check and check.
This is the perfect class to challenge your body and your mind. A great way to stretch out and work the core.
Free workshops that will feature hot topics like "Secrets to a FLATTER stomach", "Burn fat faster", "Detox for health and weight loss" and more! Time to learn the in and outs behind a better healthier you!

The U.S. government's IT vulnerabilities have led President Bush to ask that Congress redirect $152 million into cybersecurity programs for 2008, reports FCW.com.
Reporter Jason Miller notes this newfound urgency to protect the United States against cyberattacks comes after Estonia experienced a major denial-of-service attack in April, and after repeated intrustions into the U.S. Department of Defense's unclassified network.
Bush wrote to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) requesting that existing funding at the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation be redirected to bolster these agencies' cybersecurity programs.
President Bush wants more than two-thirds of the $152 million sum go to a program called "Einstein."
The president asked for $115 million to enhance DHS' ability to implement the Einstein program administered by the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team. Einstein monitors about 13 participating agencies' network gateways for traffic patterns that indicate the presence of computer worms or other unwanted traffic.
"The funding will also increase our investigative capabilities [and] reduce multiple access points and points of vulnerability while ensuring government cyber centers stay connected and focused on detecting potential attacks," said Jeff Carter, a spokesman at DHS' National Protection and Programs Directorate.
Allan Paller, director of research at the SANS Institute, told Miller that the $152 million Bush seeks is merely for public consumption and that the rest will be in "the black budget, which is secret."

Security & Resilience
- Identity & Access Management (IAM)
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP)/Information Leakage
- Security Incident Event Management (SIEM)
- Securing the Extended Enterprise
- Technology Resilience (IT DR)
Identity & Access Management (IAM)
IAM helps clients to address risks and improve the efficiency of access management in large and/or complex environments. Consumer organisations often implement IAM solutions to address recurring access management issues and audit/control points.
Why is it an issue?
- Regulation requires demonstrable access management capabilities to be in place through access certification solutions and services
- To improve efficiency and controls – automated provisioning and reduced sign-on can result in increased efficiency, control and business satisfaction.
Service overview
Our solutions cover all components of IAM including:
- Access governance – implementation of a business-friendly control framework that consistently enforces policy across HR processes, IT infrastructure and application access
- Enterprise identity – provision of a framework for access control and user administration that is integrated with HR joiner, mover, leaver processes with a single mechanism for requesting access
- Customer identity - enable a streamlined customer registration process and risk-based security framework across all products and services with seamless network access for corporate customers
- Information rights management - gain control of digital information by securing and tracking where it is stored and how it is used
- Cloud identity services - provide a seamless user experience by integrating cloud-based services with internal access control through federation. Reduce helpdesk costs by automating user provisioning and password management
- Privileged access management - separate high-privileged capabilities from regular user capabilities. Implement privilege user access management solution to audit access to administrative accounts
- Reduced sign-on.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)/Information Leakage
High profile data loss and leakage due to security breaches has created intense publicity and significant regulatory action against the organisations responsible. High-profile losses have affected many organisations, and yet, data loss incidents are still common. The most common forms of information leakage incidents are still unprotected data downloaded to removable media (USB/CD drives) and sent via email.
For consumer business organisations, where brand reputation is key and increasingly significant proportion of revenue is generated through payment cards, this is an area of focus.
Why is it an issue?
- Organisations need to comply with a range of legislation and regulations including the Data Protection Act and PCI DSS
- There is a cost to getting it wrong, most significantly through the reputational impact and a loss of confidence from customers and suppliers. As well as fines, there are also wider financial implications such as breaches. These cost UK companies an average of £1.73 million or £60 per record (Ponemon Institute 2008 annual study: UK cost of a data breach)
- It is estimated that over 70% of all cases are due to insider negligence.
Service overview
- A DLP assessment quantifies the amount and type of data that is being mishandled and helps to inform and quantify remediation activity
- A DLP implementation allows continual assessment, alerting and blocking of data movement and transfer actions that violate defined policies.

Security Incident Event Management (SIEM)
To make effective and informed decisions, CB organisations need to be able to harness, process and make sense of potentially thousands of non-stop information feeds [related to security incident events] across a vast global technology estate.
SIEM supports effective incident detection through monitoring information from various sources to increase the visibility of security threats. Implementation of a SIEM system allows reduced security operating costs through automation of existing manual compliance checks.
Why is it a key issue?
- Maintaining vigilance over the potential threats to organisations systems, applications and data from both internal and external sources can be complex and time consuming
- Protecting organisations through transitional projects such as integrations or mergers can be difficult to initiate, scope, sustain and complete.
Service overview
- We can provide an assessment of your current log monitoring
- We are able to advise on product selection
- Design, build and deploy your SIEM system
- Developing business processes and associated roles and responsibilities to help ensure effective use of your SIEM system
- Providing training and awareness to help your staff understand how to use the SIEM system.
Securing the Extended Enterprise
All CB organisations are highly reliant on third parties as part of their supply chain. In addition third parties are often used to provide a flexible and high quality service to customers. As a result, sensitive information and resources may become shared or held externally. The organisation must rely on the controls of the third party in order to protect assets such as personal or financial customer data.
Organisations are typically held accountable for data losses within their third party services providers. They therefore need to understand which third parties hold their information, what sensitive information is held, and if the controls implemented are sufficient to protect their information.
Why is it an issue?
- The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) expects organisations to ensure that their third parties securely protect customer and employee data and to implement controls covering the aspects of people, process and technology
- There is a cost to getting it wrong, including time incurred in responding to regulatory investigations and reputational implications
- Given the number of third parties with whom large organisations typically engage, these can be complex and time consuming to manage, presenting budget and resourcing challenges for organisations.
Service overview
Our extended enterprise security services help clients to:
- Review, categorise and prioritise their supplier base in order to determine what type of security assessments are required for each supplier
- Understand contract issues (e.g. is the contract silent on security, is there a right of audit, are responsibilities for co-sourced services clearly defined etc.)
- Execute supplier assessments ranging from Control Self Assessments (CSA), short 1-2 day assessments through to deep risk assessment covering multiple days/weeks
- Gain insights into third parties attitudes and practices
- Help establish clear accountability and governance (e.g. the allocation of roles and responsibilities between the organisation and third parties providing co-source services is particularly critical)
- Understand the residual risk from suppliers, make decisions and prioritise mitigating actions
- Track issues and risk management activities
- Understand how their activities compare to their peers and industry best practice in this area.
Find out more about Extended Enterprise Security
Consumer businesses increasingly face rising costs, increased regulatory controls and dynamic shifts in global economics coupled with consumers wanting more variety, greater choice, healthier products, higher quality and lower prices. Though acquisition and growth many organisations of this kind find themselves with large and complex IT environments that have multiple single points of failure with difficult options for recovery. These complexities often lead companies to implement ad hoc short term solutions that can also complicate the recovery. This, coupled with geographically dispersed multi vendor technology environments can prove challenging for organisations, whilst also seeking to find a recovery strategy that will work and grow with their business.
Many organisations still fail to get the basics right, whilst others strive to improve both the speed and confidence in their recovery process should the unthinkable happen. The adoption of the right combinations in technology resilience and recovery strategy often leads organisations to maintain their leading edge over their competitors.
Why is it an issue?
- Increased system complexity and data volumes challenge resilience and recovery capabilities
- Designing and implementing near zero system failure and zero data loss strategies requires careful balancing of availability, resilience and recovery solutions
- Organisations are not necessarily able to conduct adequate fail-over tests to prove resilience or recovery in large scale geographically spread environments
- Organisations need to meet industry required and system specific regulatory requirements
- Difficulties in managing multiple vendors across estate with differing jurisdictions
Service overview
Our technology resilience services help clients to:
- Establish or enhance IT DR policy and strategy in line with industry practice
- Undertake critical systems dependency and single point of failure analysis, enabling 'what if?' failure scenarios and end-to-end testing boundaries to be established
- Enhance recovery and resilience solutions and management practices
- Assess and implement more resilient or rapid recovery technologies, such as server virtualisation, de-duplication and storage optimisation
- Enhance the resilience of data and voice networks
- Assess the adequacy of data replication, back up and restoration
- Assess the adequacy of infrastructure architecture and fail-over testing under complete data centre loss scenarios
- Assess data centre resiliency and geographic risk
- Enhance the design, management and reporting of IT DR tests
- Assess a third party solution provider's IT DR capability.

The first road course race is at one of the most beautiful parts of northern California — Sonoma.
That is right boys and girls, they're turning right and left, trying to take the checkers and a big sip of that locally grown kool-aide they call wine.
This race always attracts the road race ringers, and Boris Said and the "Said Heads" will be on this Sunday. Boris' stats are not impressive with only one top 10 in the last five years and an average finish of 20.8. Nevertheless, he gives you that option of resting Kyle Larson for those all important left turn races you know Larson is going to do well at.
Marcos Ambrose should be a must-have driver when were talking turning right at Sonoma and with good reason. Ambrose has the best average starting position at Sonoma with a staggering 4.3 average the past five years. The amazing stat on Marcos at Sonoma is that he's never won this race but his stats are good with one top five and four top 10s, a pole spot and an average finish of 6.5, making him worthy of checking off his name in any fantasy league.
Kurt Busch has the second best starting average at Sonoma at 7.3 with a win, three top fives and three top 10s and an average finish of 10th. Don't let Kurt's average finish fool you; he's been in inferior equipment the past few years, and now with Stewart-Haas Racing, those stats should rise.
Last year's winner was Martin Truex Jr., and he should be a good buy for Sonoma. Truex has been running very well lately, getting his points across on how he likes his race cars, which is a big plus to get that all important win to make the Chase. His stats are not bad with one win, one top five and two top 10s.
Jeff Gordon has the best career stats at Sonoma with five wins, five poles, 13 top fives and 17 top 10s. He's worth a serious look, even though his price might be a little high on most fantasy games.
Most wins by a manufacturer goes to Chevy with 10, but Toyota has been coming up big lately with two wins that I know of the last three years.
Here are the ten best power rankings the past five years at Sonoma:
10 Carl Edwards- 2 top 5s and 2 top 10s, average finish 14.0.
9 A.J. Allmendinger- 1 top 10, average finish 11.7.
8 Greg Biffle- 3 top 10's, average finish 11.3.
7 Kasey Kahne- 1 top 5 and 2 top 10s, average finish 11.0.
6 Clint Bowyer- 1 win, 3 top 5s and 3 top 10s, avg finish 10.3.
5 Kurt Busch- 1 win, 3 top 10s and 3 top 10s, avg finish 10.0.
4 Kevin Harvick- 1 top 5 and 3 top 10s, average finish 9.5.
3 Marcos Ambrose- 1 top 5 and 4 top 10s, average finish 6.5.
2 Jimmie Johnson- 1 win, 2 top 5s and 4 top 10s, avg finish 5.5.
1 Jeff Gordon- 3 top 5s and 4 top 10s, average finish 3.8.
Should be a late start for those on Eastern time on TNT. Check out my Ice Picks after qualifying and don't forget to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. I appreciate you stopping in.

There were 15 of them standing together in the sun. In the dust and dirt, penned up yet blas' about the situation, nowhere to go. The flies were taking advantage of this, landing on their noses and clustering about their eyes. But those eyes--gleaming black eight balls of calm and wisdom--15 pairs of them stared out at me as I stood there in the same sun on the other side of the fence.
I was at the Tucson Rodeo Grounds for the fourth annual Wild Horse and Burro Adoption, and so were these 15 feral burros-to-go. Direct descendants of the beasts belonging to Western pioneers, Native Americans and miners and, before that, Spanish conquistadors. Perhaps even distant relatives to the revered asses of the Old Testament. As I pondered the herd, ears of burro twitching automatically as they had for centuries, my thoughts traveled back to the Tenth Commandment (Exodus 20:17):
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass. . . .
And to think that one of these living, breathing, kicking Biblical artifacts could be yours--covet no more!--for a mere $75, courtesy of the Bureau of Land Management. More than 100,000 horses and burros have found homes since 1973, when the program to combat overpopulation and remove herds from areas of forest depletion began. Yet I knew precious little about the whole notion of adoption.
Luckily, I brought along The Adoption Advisor by Joan McNamara, and, by substituting the word "ass" for "children," gleaned pretty much what I needed to know. I opened to Chapter 1:
You are about to make one of the most important decisions of your life. Not just the decision to adopt or not to adopt, although that is surely an important decision. But first you must decide if you truly want to take the plunge into [ass ownership], and if you are willing to devote a large chunk of your life, or lives, to a growing [ass] who will demand inordinate amounts of your time, your energies and your love.
I looked up at the animals, they looked back at me. The flies continued to buzz.
There are about 50 people and one small oscillating desk fan in a hot, cramped room at the rodeo grounds. They are here for the Friday morning Seminar for Adopters, squeezed into wooden church pews that line the walls, propped in the corners, hunkered down on the floor. Lean Arizona ranch-types with tan lines that end at mid-forehead where the feed caps begin. Fellows with ponytails and scraggly beards. Neat, clean couples wearing pastel-colored shirts with garish Indian patterns. Grandpas with proud guts and grandchildren in clothes stained with snacks bought from the 4-H booth outside. And there is Mike Robinson before us, a local veterinarian with 14 years of service; he radiates expertise and kindness. He's got a slide show (after almost every slide clicks up, he says, "Now why did I put this one in?" Then proceeds to decipher every possible aspect, pro or con, of everything contained in the photo--animal, foliage, fencing, water trough--as if he were an assassination expert dissecting images of the grassy knoll).
Robinson is going to tell us what we need to know about caring for wild horses and burros. Which is a good thing, as I know even less about these animals than I do about adoption.
And the Advisor has me concerned . . .
[An ass] with special needs may be [an ass] with a medical problem; a physical, emotional, or mental handicap; or [an ass] with easily correctable problems, such as crooked teeth or a lisp. Generally, such [asses] require special attention. . . .
Dr. Mike assures us that the animals up for adoption not only have been examined, but tested for disease; they've been immunized and wormed. I learn a lot of other stuff, as well, like:
ù Just one or two leaves of oleander will kill a horse.
ù There's a place in California that sells microscopic wasps that'll eat fly larvae from horse and burro dung; this is very helpful in controlling fly infestation. ù Jimson weed will make an animal go crazy; Dr. Mike knew of "a horse last year that ate some and tried to bite his owner's lips off."
ù Most cactus is no problem to a horse or burro, but a needle from a barrel cactus is bad news. Once he saw one enter a horse's neck, and emerge from the other side two years later.
ù Mesquite beans are great food if they're dry, but when eaten wet, they'll "stop an animal up like cement."
ù A horse can only breathe through its nose, so if it's bitten by a rattlesnake and its nose starts to swell up, you need to put a hair curler or a piece of hose in the nostril so the animal can breathe. Dr. Mike once went to a farm where a horse had been bitten, and the woman there, too cheap to cut her hose, had 50 feet of it stuck in the horse's nose.
ù A burro or a horse can get sunburned on skin covered with white patches of hair. The remedy: sunscreen.

Looks similar to this picture I took down there yesterday. This is the Portland waterfront close to Js Oyster bar. Probably a different location but its interesting that I just took a picture like this there.
I live right by this dock and work on the water from time to time. Other than the addition of tourists and fiberglass pleasure boats from time to time, Custom House Wharf doesn't look all that different today. Seriously.
The best thing about this photo is that schooner - beautiful lines. Do we build anything like that anymore? Certainly not for industrial purposes.
No more net drying racks cluttering the docks of fishing ports since the advent of synthetic fiber nets, which can be put away wet without rotting.

[OT] Why no third party software? | 37 comments | Create New Account
The following comments are owned by whoever posted them. This site is not responsible for what they say.
[OT] Why no third party software?
Can someone explain this to me? I've never quite understood the whole "no third-party software" attitude. I mean, if it's a haxie or kernel extension or something, then sure, it could destabilize the system. But a plain ol' app? Why would you go out of your way to avoid it?
[OT] Why no third party software?
Maybe to reduce complexity and clutter?
[OT] Why no third party software?
With about 100 pieces of third party software on my computer it becomes almost a full time job to keep track of all updates to them.
I had the same problem until I discovered VersionTracker Pro. It does a great job of scanning my system and alerting me to any new updates of my software, which saves me a lot of time because I don't have to constantly check for updated packages or worry that I might have out-of-date software. It's $40/year but worth every penny IMO.
Widget to do the work for free
I've found that the Dashboard Widget "App Update" seems to do a similar job for free.
[OT] Why no third party software?
Can someone explain this to me? I've never quite understood the whole "no third-party software" attitude.
I can't speak for rhowell, but in this case, I simply didn't like any of the third-party replacements for Preview. Some required a fee and were overpriced for what they offered, and others just didn't offer any advantages over the existing Preview (other than the ability to automatically reload changed documents). I like third-party software in general -- I have around three dozen such programs on my Mac -- but in this case none of them did what I wanted.

Nobody is anti-fat because they are pro-health. Fatness is not a reliable indicator of poor health, nor is thinness a reliable indicator of good health. We all know this.
Fat hatred is, um, hatred. The kind of hatred where a group of people are so odious to you that you think they should endanger their lives rather than continue the offensive act of being where you can see them.

The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things...
i like nickel coated brass for my "carry" ammo, i feel that it protects the integrity of it better, but i still shoot it from time to time, to stay familiar with the handling of that particular load & platform combination, as well as keep it "fresh", after all i want all the odds stacked in my favor in the unfortunate event i have to rely on it to save my bacon.

There are stuffing people and there are dressing people, but no Thanksgiving Dinner is complete without one of the two. By the way, the only difference between stuffing and dressing is whether you put the stuff in the bird or cook it separately. And between turkey and stuffing or dressing there's very little color difference which may be one reason green beans are so popularly served with a Turkey dinner. But a few years ago, I found a recipe for Cornbread Dressing that included copious amounts of parsley and celery and, then, triumphantly for those of us desperate for color, red pepper.

The Southwest has long been one of America's dreamscapes, a place we go to relive and reinvent our past for the purposes of the present. Yet the Southwest is a real place, too, one where people live and make a living. This collection of essays looks at the ways tourism affects people and places in the Southwest and at the region's meaning on the larger stage of national life.
In the first section, "Configuring Ethnicity: The Meaning of Who You Are," Chris Wilson, Phoebe Kropp, and Rena Swentzell explicate tourist sites in Albuquerque, California's Camino Real, and Taos. Essays on "Collecting and Belonging" include discussions of scrapbooks, souvenirs, and virtual tourism on the Internet by Marguerite Shaffer, Leah Dilworth, and Erika Bsumek. The third section, "The Practice of Tourism," offers the perspectives of William L. Bryan, Jr., a leading ecotourism operator, and Susan Guyette and David White, who argue for the autonomy of native people in presenting their experience to visitors. The final section looks at how places are transformed by tourism. Sylvia Rodriguez examines the power dynamics of tourism, Char Miller chronicles the way San Antonio has become a colonial town, and volume editor Hal Rothman presents Las Vegas as a place where authenticity and inauthenticity are purposefully indistinguishable.

TUESDAY, Dec. 20 (HealthDay News) -- Severe sepsis can impair
the immune system, a new study says.
Sepsis causes more than 225,000 deaths annually in the United
States, the researchers said. "Developing new therapies for sepsis
has been particularly challenging, with more than 25 unsuccessful
drug trials," Jonathan S. Boomer, of the Washington University
School of Medicine, St. Louis, and colleagues wrote as background
information in the study. "Characterized by an initial intense
inflammatory response or 'cytokine storm,' patients with sepsis may
present with fever, shock, altered mental status, and organ
dysfunction," they said.
"Whether this hyperinflammatory phase is followed by immunosuppression is controversial. Animal studies suggest that multiple immune defects occur in sepsis, but data from humans remain conflicting," the researchers noted.
Sepsis is a severe, systemic bacterial infection occurring in
the body's blood system or tissues. It can be life-threatening, and
patients require rapid treatment with intravenous antibiotics.
For the new study, researchers analyzed lung and spleen tissue
from 40 intensive care unit patients, average age 72, who died with
active severe sepsis and compared them to spleen and lung samples
from a control group of 49 people, average age 53, who died without
The median (midpoint) number of days in the ICU for patients
with sepsis was 8, and the median duration of sepsis was 4
Findings from biochemical tests and cell and tissue analyses for
patients who died of sepsis were consistent with immune
suppression, compared to the patients who did not have sepsis when
they died.
The study appears Dec. 21 in the
Journal of the American Medical Association.
With therapies improving, patients are more likely to survive
sepsis, the researchers suggested, but may still have impaired
immune systems, leaving them more susceptible to infections from
organisms that wouldn't affect healthier people.
"The present study has a number of important therapeutic implications. Most investigative agents in sepsis have been directed at blocking inflammation and immune activation. Although such therapies may be successful if applied early, they may be harmful if applied later in the immuno-suppressive phase," the researchers wrote in a journal news release.
"An important part of implementing more targeted therapies will be to accurately determine the immune status of individual patients during their disease," the researchers concluded.

Simple and easy to use, great for listening to music, obviously. I can always rely on samsung products, the sound quality is great. There are also many game to play but I do find them a bit tiring after a while. All my apliances and alectronics at home are mostly samsung. They never let me down no matter how small they are like this mp3 player or how bog they are like my flat screen tv. The battery life is simply amazing it can last me up to a week listening to music on a low volume, too bad I can't say the same for movies. The only thing I coul possibly fault is the screen size, i think that half the screen is used up by the touch buttons although they are great, I always used to get told off at night for pressing noisy plasticy buttons that just didn't work. Overall a great purchase only fault is the screen size.
Good looking. Smart. Reliable. And lots of fun. Your new MP3 player is all this and more. Its compact silhouette takes up the tiniest space in your pocket, and its state-of-the-art technology delivers rich sound, vibrant pictures. You'll love your new MP3 player, whether you're exercising, downloading your favorite tunes, watching videos or even listening to FM Radio. Use it once, and you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

Google and the last days of the credit card
The future is no longer in plastic.
Or such was the message from Eric Schmidt when he was talking at the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco. Credit cards are about to become as obsolete as the Sony Walkman in the age of the iPod. Replacing them will be the smartphone – Android phones in particular.
Next week, Google will release a new version of its Android mobile operating system software, called Gingerbread. Gingerbread will support near-field communication, a technology that marries allows the smartphone to act like a credit card. The technology relies on a chip with a range of several inches that allows wireless payment transactions much more simply and, according to Schmidt, securely than a standard credit card.
The thing with near-field communication is, the whole notion of location takes on a new meaning. Now I can just tap I don't have to take a picture I don't have to scan a barcode… We think the overall mobile market which is already exited about these payment systems, will benefit from having this because it's a secure element that is very hard to steal. And the theory is you can take these mobile devices and walk into a store and it will be able to figure out where you are with your permission. Effectively to bump for everything. And eventually it will replace your credit cards.
Schmidt said the payment processors like Visa and Mastercard are pushing for near-field communication devices believe they believe they will lead to fewer losses related to credit-card fraud. He also sees it launching potentially hundreds of new startups in mobile payments as new payment platforms emerge.
Sounds pretty good in theory, but recall how long it took a significant number of people to trust typing their credit card numbers in Amazon's site 15 years ago. Just because the technology is safe doesn't mean consumers will overcome their squeamishness for new payment technologies. Not to mention the notion of your phone sending personal information into every store you enter. With your permission, of course.
Wonder how many credit cards it will store.
And if malware gets in your smartphone it will know exactly where to look for the credit card vault.
Cute, real cute. So… now CrackerJackerMax can park outside of Walmart and listen to the sweet sound of ca-ching! all day long as his modified USB scanner pulls in signal after signal.
…..And if malware gets in your smartphone it will know exactly where to look for the credit card vault……

Experience dining with a gay perspective.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Just when I thought I knew every restaurant in Dumaguete, here comes along LIKHÂ.
What: LIKHÂ Tapas & Vodka Bar
Where: South Sea Resort Hotel, 6200 Dumaguete City, Philippines
LIKHÂ, is a unique restaurant/bar as compared to others in Dumaguete. It may be in the city but it is well hidden. It is the perfect place for a quiet and intimate dinner with your loved one and/or your concubine. Just kidding. LOL
Owned by Dumaguete's renowned Super Chef, Ritchie Tembrevilla Ambrogenia. The restaurant is a must for those looking for something different.
The Interiors: Likha's interiors is very modern and very..uhm..clean. I get lost whenever I go here.The place exudes such sophistication that I feel like a commoner in Colonial Virginia. Okay that was random. Seriously, the ambiance is great.
The restaurant has a few art pieces that adds a flair of ethnicity to the place. In fact, Likha feels very Filipino although the dishes aren't.
There's also this cute little spot where you can have, I don't know vodka or something (Patron Tequila!) with friends and just talk about anything gay. Or straight. LOL
They also have a mini bar where they serve vodka, tequila, and all types of liquor. I just love the lighting in this side of the restaurant. It's very.. uhm.. blue. LOL
The Menu: The restaurant boasts a variety of dishes, called Tapas. The first thing that came in my mind was those little strips of meat that my Mom used to cook at home. Tapas are like appetizers. You order several of them to have a full meal.
What I Ate:
Sweet and Sour Glazed Stuffed Chicken Wings - Made from 99 mushrooms, five spice powder, oyster sauce, and of course chicken wings, this dish is really tasty! It was a bit dry but it was great. This is something I would order again but I won't recommend it to anybody anytime soon.
Tasty…but a bit dry.
Chicken Scalloppini w/ Basil Pesto - I love Chicken! I love Pasta..err..macaroni, whatever! This dish has both. In a rate out of 5, I'd give this a 3.9. It's creamy and it has a taste that you haven't tasted elsewhere.Plus, the bowl is cute.
I lurve it!
Thai Basil Chicken - One word. OMG! Wait, that was three. LOL. Now this little devil dish is EPIC! 10 out of 10! 5 Stars! A must try! I literally ate the whole leaf and it was yummehey! It's Chicken, and green things, and spices, and rice in one. I don't know how this was cooked but this is definitely my favorite dish! I ordered this in my last two visits.
This is all mine! Bwahaha..
The Result:
The food, the ambiance, the venue are all great. 2 Thumbs Up!

Is It Time to Consult With A Child Abuse Attorney in Colorado?
When you suspect that your children have been victims of abuse, then you will do anything to see that justice is done. Not that any crime should go unpunished, but child abuse is one of those crimes that gets everyone angry, even the criminal court judge. The best child abuse attorneys in Colorado are very familiar with the most common causes of abuse and they know how to uncover the facts. One recent development that has helped prosecute these cases is the undercover camera. Child care workers and nannies aren't always aware of surveillance cameras, and this alone has brought many abusers to justice.Of course, not every accusation of child abuse is legitimate. This allegation is still quite common during bitter custody battles and among feuding stepparents, and it is usually disproven. One child abuse attorney in Colorado deals with this type of case quite a bit, and he is grateful that the courts require physical proof when pressing charges.
A recent article posted by an attorney at Clawson & Clawson in Colorado Springs helps people explore their legal options before setting up an appointment with a lawyer. In "Ask a Child Abuse Attorney in Colorado about Your Legal Options," the author expounds upon the most important steps to take when abuse is suspected. The first thing any law enforcement officer will do is help you get an order of protection against the suspected abuser. In the case of child abuse, the protection order can be granted between family members who are related by marriage or blood, but it also allows a parent or guardian to get one on behalf of a child.
Once a protection order is issued, the suspected abuser refrains from abuse or threats of abuse. This may require them to live elsewhere and to go without seeing the children until the matter is resolved. Any violation of such an order can result in mandatory jail time and/or fines and it would be considered a criminal offense. Because an order like this against a parent will grant temporary custody to the other parent, it may mean that the abusive parent is required to stay away from his or her own home.
If you plan to press charges against a child abuser, it is not necessary to hire a lawyer, but it is usually recommended. A child abuse attorney in Colorado can help you before, during and after the hearing, and can give you the legal resources to prevent any future instances of abuse from happening.

Data Type Date (date field: A type of field whose content is a date. Examples include the Baseline Start and Early Finish fields.)
Entry Type Calculated (calculated field: A field in which the value is determined by Project based on information in other fields. Project may recalculate the value automatically or when you specify, depending on your choice of calculation settings.)
Description The Late Start field contains the latest date that a task can start without delaying the finish of the project. This date is based on the task's start date, as well as on the late start and late finish dates of predecessor (predecessor: A task that must start or finish before another task can start or finish.) and successor (successor: A task that cannot start or finish until another task starts or finishes.) tasks, and other constraints (constraint: A restriction set on the start or finish date of a task. You can specify that a task must start on or finish no later than a particular date. Constraints can be flexible [not tied to a specific date] or inflexible [tied to a specific date].).
How Calculated When you first create a task, its late start date is the same as the project finish date minus the task duration (duration: The total span of active working time that is required to complete a task. This is generally the amount of working time from the start to finish of a task, as defined by the project and resource calendar.). As you link the task to predecessors and successors and apply any other constraints, Microsoft Office Project calculates the late start date as the last possible date this task could be started if all predecessor and successor tasks also start and finish on their late start and late finish dates. These calculations are based on a fixed task duration. If there is a leveling delay on successor tasks, this delay is also figured into the date in the Late Start field.
Best Uses Add the Late Start field to a task view, along with the Early Start, Early Finish, and Late Finish fields, to analyze slack (slack: The amount of time that a task can slip before it affects another task or the project's finish date. Free slack is how much a task can slip before it delays another task. Total slack is how much a task can slip before it delays the project.) time in your schedule.
Example Several critical tasks are slipping and are likely to cause the entire project to be severely delayed. You add the Early Start, Early Finish, Late Start, and Late Finish fields to the Task Sheet view, so that you can analyze the delays and find any available slack time.

Here's to an end of another month well spent. It is a difficult process to bid July goodbye. But I will tell you about it—a brief summary of the thirty-one days of being and not being—first, because I think it's nice to share and, second, because I'm afraid I might forget.
First of all, I'm sorry for this late post. I've been delaying answering this question for months already, but I hope this still makes sense. Second, this is one of the most surprising things I've had in my inbox yet. I never thought someone would be interested knowing the things I carry around! Haha! So here it is, a photo essay of sorts of the things inside my bag:
The obligatory bag photo. It's a Michael Kors bag given to me by my mother. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of bags. If not for my bag-aholic mother, I'd probably still be toting my old Guess bag which I've had since I was in high school.
Now the contents:
1. Macbook, but only because I'm an office girl this summer. On regular days (by that I mean school days), I only bring my iPad with me.
2. Chargers for really obvious reasons.
3. Customized bag which contains my journal, pens and highlighters. It's a gift from a friend and I've never stopped using it since Day 1 of acquisition.
4. My writing notebook, of course.
5. Glasses for my poor eyesight and for vanity's sake.
Now, the things I was hesitant to include but later on realized how necessary they are in making my life easier:
6. Alcohol, and I urge all people to carry one for their own everyday. Thank you!
7. Cologne of the moment, because I'm not the kind of person who sticks with a single scent.
8. Eye drop because there are times when my eyes just itch like crazy and I'm afraid to rub it because it might cause permanent harm.
9. Ortho wax for the metal mouth me. Yes, I'm at the peak of young adulthood awkwardness— with glasses, braces and all that stuff. Excuse me for being a work in progress, haha.
Now the most essential things in my bag. I'll go nuts if I leave one of these things behind, seriously seriously:
10. My dormitory key. I used to bring a lot of keys with me all connected by the keychains my friends have given me as travel gifts, but I lost them all just recently. Hoho :(
11. My journal, which is safely kept in that customized pouch above.
12. Then there's my wallet.
13. And my rosary from Bethlehem which my cousin gave to me after serving the United Nations something something program in Syria. I can't quite explain what she did but suffice it to say that she was part of the Philippine's armed forces team to the Middle East as an aide or something of sorts. Such a bad cousin am I! Haha. I keep it in a nifty pocket my best friend gave me as a pasalubong when he went to Palawan.
Here's how all the mess look in my bag. See that asterisked thing in the photo? That's actually a canister of toothpick which saves my metal mouth self from disgrace. My other life savers (wet and dry tissue, water bottle, cellphone, etc.) are not included because I want to leave something for your imagination. Haha!
My laptop's a real bitch to bring around. You can only imagine what kind of physical torture I have to put up with every time I have to bring it in the office, or at school. But on another note, life's less convenient without it by my working side so I'm grateful I have it with me.
There! :) Just a little FYI: All the photos were taken using Instagram (A really shameless plug: My username's soveraine, follow me!) and then edited with CameraBag and CS5. I hope you enjoyed this self-deprecating post!

Police unleashed tear gas and water cannons on a crowd of almost 5,000 people in Taksim Square Tuesday night, according to Deniz Nihan Aktan of Istanbul Feminist Collective and Global Fund for Women grantee partner, Filmmor.
Speaking to Global Fund for Women from her house near Taksim Square, Deniz described the scene as "horrible," with police "attacking to kill the protestors."
The demonstrations began over a plan to tear out the last green space in the center of the city, Gezi Park in Taksim Square, and to replace it with a mall. They quickly progressed into a movement critical of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his administration, well known for restricting the freedom of expression in civil society.
Deniz and her feminist colleagues organized in the park to take a public stance for women's human rights. The group voiced their opposition to the government's attempts to ban abortion, political violence against the LGBT community and the rising rates of violence against women.
"We put up a tent in the park to claim our voice amongst the crowd, and we conveyed our demands in a legal way," said Deniz.
Deniz's voice cracked over the phone as she recounted her experience. It was 3:00 a.m. in Istanbul and she had witnessed many of her friends wounded by police that are supposed to protect citizens.
What should have been a peaceful protest, a solidarity movement among environmentalists, left wing activists, regular citizens, women's and LGBT rights advocates, was met with escalating police brutality.
"He [Erdogan] is more concerned with holding onto his power than he is for the rights of his people," said Deniz. "What they [the government] are doing is illogical and illegal."

Global Fund advisor and grantee partner, Nevin Öztop of Kaos GL, reflects on the movement against Erdoğan's racist, sexist and homophobic remarks and policies. Nevin writes:
How could the idea of a single park being demolished get a nation so angry? How could resistance unite all the streets of a country? How could people become so unafraid of getting beaten up and tear gassed day and night? And more importantly, how could this nation still have so much fun and laugh at everything about the brutality and rapid unrest?
"This gas feels fantastic, my friend!", "You banned alcohol, the nation sobered up!", "Welcome to the 1st national gas festival!", "Tear gas works wonders on your complexion!", "Hey Starbucks, this movement prefers the coffee of the independent shop owner on the corner!" are only a few of the thousands of declarations on the walls of over 40 cities now. In only a few days, graffitis and sprayed messages became a part of our daily lives. The smashed police "riot control" vehicles vandalized by football fan clubs are on sale all over the internet. Emptied tear gas bullets are used as the new vase homes of flowers. Read the full story here »

The political perils of low oil prices
An extract from European Energy Review's The political perils of low oil prices with our emphasis:
A not so silent war is being waged in the oil world right now. Prices have tumbled 31% since March which means someone needs to set a price floor, and do so fast. Most OPEC states had hoped that was going to happen when the cartel recently met in Vienna. But official quota levels were kept at 30 million barrels per day (mb/d), with the implicit agreement that once delegates flew out of Schwechat Airport, Saudi Arabia would start closing the taps to bring OPEC's non-official 31.8 mb/d production in line with the formal target. Saudi swing, Riyadh ropes.
Fair enough, but what everyone wanted to know, and especially Iran, Venezuela, and Algeria, was how far and how fast Saudi was going to make cuts and 'balance' the market. With Brent prices regularly dipping well below $100 and WTI prices considerably lower, OPEC hawks are getting very nervous. Non-OPEC producers in Russia and Central Asia even more so. Assuming demand side dynamics don't drastically pick up in Asia, we can expect three things to sequentially happen.
- The first is an international price war across all producer states to force Saudi Arabia to take assertive action to tighten the taps and raise prices. That will be a difficult process given Riyadh has its own strategic objectives to want a sustained period of moderate prices, well below $100/b.
- Secondly, if petro-hawks lose this price war, their political bluster will subside, and a far 'cruder' trend will emerge. They will have to cut back on domestic spending, which is bound to lead to a new round of protests, and more importantly sharpened domestic repression.
- Given repression is no longer the 'effective' tool it once was for producer states, that could well lead us to a third, and far more daunting prospect: any price floor will be set by producer states folding under the weight of political pressure when new crises hit. The flat price of crude will be influenced more by political unrest clipping production than by active supply restraint.
Quite fascinating really. Especially the connection to political repression…
But how do you avoid cuts, while keeping prices supported and not hindering your own revenues?
(Surely not a job for collateralised oil loans…?)

Clay Co. students get job training in school
Updated On: Aug 14 2012 10:49:11 AM EDT
The school bell in Clay County rang Tuesday morning, and when this year is over, more students than ever will have the training they need for today's jobs.
Orange Park High School is implementing new programs this year that are really "working."
Hands-on experience in carpentry and construction, sewing jobs that require special skills to complete a specific task, training in the health care industry, and high-wage technological careers: These are the jobs Clay County students are being prepared for in junior high school.
"Its what our communities are asking for, what our business partners are asking for," said Alice Paulk, of Clay County Career and Technical Education. "We're looking at northeast Florida, what's marketing for those areas."
Paulk said administrators have found a way to match the needs of the business community with the desires of their students.
Two new junior high school academies are paving the way for students to attain success.
"We'd like to say our programs are for college and career, and it's proven that technical education programs and academies have a higher GPA, less absented problems," Paulk said.
It seems that the results are paying off in Clay County.
Clay County's Industry Certification Program provided certification for 500 students in 2008. A thousand students were certified in 2009, and last year, 1,400 students received the training they need.
"We have a great relationship with business partners," Paulk said. "Advisory boards meet with institutions and parents and make sure they're on track."

Serge Ibaka has been overseas in Treviso as a special guest of the Adidas Eurocamp and recently spoke to reporters.
"There will be changes, like the departure of Kevin Martin. We have room for improvement and we have to add something to improve our play."
It's not going to surprise anyone if Martin doesn't re-sign with the Oklahoma City Thunder but we certainly have yet to hear for sure whether he will or not.
Martin himself has been very candid in saying that he would love to re-sign with the Thunder and that he is willing to take a paycut to do so.
It's going to be extremely difficult for OKC to re-sign Martin. They'd really have to get him to accept about $5 million per year or maybe even less to ensure remaining below the luxury tax. That seems pretty unlikely.
Ibaka seems to know something here and maybe it's common knowledge within the Thunder organization that Martin is definitely on the way out.
It will be a big loss for the Thunder but not one that will be impossible to recover from. Martin definitely provided scoring that will be tough to replace quickly but overall, the Thunder will be better in the long run moving on from Martin quickly.
Jeremy Lamb will be expected more than anyone to produce and get playing time in Martin's absence. Reggie Jackson also should see a large increase in minutes perhaps.
Then of course we don't know who the Thunder will be taking in the lottery of the upcoming NBA Draft. There too they could be looking for some help replacing Martin.
Ibaka also said this about whether he would be playing for Spain in the Eurobasket: "There's time left to make a decision. I'm more tired than in previous seasons, but that's no excuse. (…) I've had three years with no rest and I have the give thought to what I will do."

enhancement of local social infrastructures.
On Friday 18th May 2012, the National Independence celebrations were
aired by the SLNTV, Horn Cable, Universal and Space Channel television
stations live from the public Independence Square grounds. So too did
the same stations transmit in the same mode the traditional evening
festivities held every year at the State House grounds in the
A terse press statement circulated by Somtel's Public Relations and
Information department noted that the company is indeed a major
contributor to such public infrastructural services because of its
readiness to avail the ultra modern communication technologies to the
Wherever they are, the news hungry Somalilander populace will for a
very long while remember the live transmissions, including the public
debates aired from Hargeisa University, again courtesy of Somtel.
This company which is locally owned happens to be a major charitably
beneficent institution whose help has been likewise extends to health,
education and horde of other needs".
