Bicycle-related head injuries fell significantly in the months after mandatory helmet legislation came into effect in NSW, and recent calls for a repeal of the laws should be rejected, new research based on hospital admissions data shows.
The injuries fell by up to 29% after the laws were introduced in 1991, according to the study by researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the Sax Institute, published in the high impact journal Accident Analysis and Prevention.
"We set out to perform the most comprehensive analysis possible on the subject while addressing any data limitations and possible confounding factors," said study author Dr Jake Olivier.
"What we found provides compelling evidence that the legislation has served its purpose in reducing bike-related head injuries and any repeal of the laws would only put lives at risk," he said.
UNSW's Chair of Road Safety and study co-author Professor Raphael Grzebieta said the study backs up overwhelming evidence from biomechanical experiments and in-depth accident case analyses that helmets prevent head injury. "It shows what we've suspected for a long time that you would be unwise to 'hit the road' without a helmet," he said.
Australia was the first country to introduce mandatory helmet legislation in 1991, but 20 years later public debate about the legislation's effectiveness in preventing head injuries continues.
Last year, a Sydney University study found the laws had failed and should be repealed because compulsory helmet wearing could be a disincentive to cycling. The academic paper was later retracted due to serious data and arithmetic errors.
In the new UNSW study, researchers from the Injury Risk Management Research Centre and the Sax Institute examined trends in NSW hospital admissions for cyclists and pedestrians, comparing the rate of head injury relative to arm injury, and separately for head injury relative to leg i

Linux + Active Directory login
If you run a heterogenous business network, there's a fair chance that you have a Microsoft Active Directory infrastructure. There's also a fair chance that you're running Linux systems.
There are a great many ways to integrate these two operating systems to use the same user database. Many places use plain LDAP to the Active Directory. Others federate an OpenLDAP server running on Linux into Active Directory. Still others use Microsoft's old and creaky NIS server support.
It's fairly well known that Samba has fairly complete Active Directory support these days, and that it can operate as an almost-fully-functional member server. It's slightly less well-known how to actually use this support for login purposes however.
So, let's take a look at how to do it!Continue Reading…

Seventeen percent of deaths from breast cancer occur in women who are diagnosed in their 40s. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2009 there will be 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer in the United States, causing 40,170 deaths. That's a lot of deaths, and no one is disputing that early detection is our best weapon.
Yet, flying in the face of everything we've heard for the last several decades, the word from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force report released earlier this week is that here is no benefit to performing breast self-exams. Unless you are in a high risk group, you can wait until you are 50-years old before getting your baseline mammogram, and then repeat only every other year.
The USPSTF also recommends against teaching breast self-examination. You can read the full text of the documents HERE.
According to the panel, younger women have little to gain from mammogram screening — the 10-year breast cancer risk for a 40-year-old is only 1.4 percent. They also point to the risk of younger women being harmed from false positives that cause needless worry, additional tests and biopsies, pain, and expense.
Just how the new recommendations will affect insurance coverage for mammograms remains to be seen, but I suspect it won't help matters.
The American Cancer Society does not intend to change its guidelines and responded to the USPSTF report with a statement from Otis W. Braley, M.D., chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society that reads, in part:
"The American Cancer Society continues to recommend annual screening using mammography and clinical breast examination for all women beginning at age 40. Our experts make this recommendation having reviewed virtually all the same data reviewed by the USPSTF, but also additional data that the USPSTF did not consider. When recommendations are based on judgments about the balance of risks and benefits, reasonable experts can look at the same data and reach different conclusions.
"With its new recommendations, the USPSTF is essentially telling women that mammography at age 40 to 49 saves lives; just not enough of them. The task force says screening women in their 40s would reduce their risk of death from breast cancer by 15 percent, just as it does for women in their 50s. But because women in their 40s are at lower risk of the disease than women 50 and above, the USPSTF says the actual number of lives saved is not enough to recommend widespread screening. The most recent data show us that approximately 17 percent of breast cancer deaths occurred in women who were diagnosed in their 40s, and 22 percent occurred in women diagnosed in their 50s. Breast cancer is a serious health problem facing adult women, and mammography is part of our solution beginning at age 40 for average risk women." (emphasis mine) You can read the complete statement HERE.
The Susan G. Komen for the Cure® also released a statement which read, in part:
"Susan G. Komen for the Cure wants to eliminate any impediments to regular mammography screening for women age 40 and older. While there is no question that mammograms save lives for women over 50 and women 40–49, there is enough uncertainty about the age at which mammography should begin and the frequency of screening that we would not want to see a change in policy for screening mammography at this time." Komen's current screening guidelines can be found at www.komen.org.
We encourage women to be aware of their breast health, understand their risks, and continue to follow existing recommendations for routine screenings including mammography beginning at age 40." (emphasis mine) You can read the complete statement HERE.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius released a statement on Wednesday saying, in part:
"My message to women is simple. Mammograms have always been an important life-saving tool in the fight against breast cancer, and they still are today. Keep doing what you have been doing for years — talk to your doctor about your individual history, ask questions and make the decision that is right for you." On the question of insurance, she said that the doctors and scientists on the task force "do not set federal policy and they don't determine what services are covered by the federal government." You can read her statement in its entirety HERE.
Perhaps the USPSTF does not set policy, but insurers are always looking for ways to cut costs and we've just given them a sweet opening.
So what's a woman to do amidst such conflicting advice? If seventeen percent of deaths from breast cancer occur in women who are diagnosed in their 40s, I can't help but wonder… how many deaths is enough to make screening worthwhile?
The news this week has been saturated with heated debate on the topic. The ACS saw an 18 percent increase in phone calls in the days following the release of the report.
Many people agree that mammograms are over-used and often unnecessary and are thrilled to finally have confirmation but others, particularly women who are breast cancer survivors, are outraged. A quick search on the micro-blogging site Twitter comes up with words like "irate," "angry", "shocked," and "hate," leading some to make impromptu donations to cancer organizations.
The state of women's health care is already overly-complicated and riddled with added fees for premiums, co-pays, and out-of-pocket expenses. Now there's one more maze to cut through.

Does anyone know who this task force is anyway? Who sits on it and what are their qualifications? Exs. from the insurance companies? One wonders. Please tell us who they are. Thank you. And no, I didn't see anything I want to sign on to as one of their recommendations. I'm old fashioned, I want to make my own decisions with some input from a good doctor that I trust.
How many of the 40,00+ deaths are caused by mammography itself?
A safer and more accurate way to test for breast is thermograpy, as there is no radiation.
very important article-thank you
Does anyone else find susan o's comment about "genocide" and coming "out swinging, wearing full body armor and packing an AK47" quite telling about the real intent behind this faux-outrage at the 'new' recommendations?
This is just more fear and bluster from those who claim health care reform will cause 'rationing'. This is not "rationing", and these recommendations aren't even new.
Thank you, Pa H. It's nice to see someone who has the facts amid all this smoke and mirrors.
this isn't "Rationed Care". That is political spin.
The National Breast Cancer Coalition has shared this position for years. The truth is that in the 40-49 age group mammographies do not make a difference in survival rate.
It has never been the position of the group that women should not have mammography, just that the limitations of mammography should be recognized and as a policy issue the money spent on advocating for mammography could be better spent.
The truth is that the tumors most often detected by mammography are slow growth tumors, it misses the more lethal and fast growing cancers. So when the interval of detection is not looked at, there is no difference in survival between women having a mammography and those who do not
In other words women who had mammographies did not live longer than those who did not. Also women in the 40-49 age group have more dense breast tissue which makes it more difficult for the test to be effective.
In regards to the monthly BSE what the research found is that women most often find lumps during a shower, or their partner locates it, it does not happen during the monthly BSE.
For greater clarification on this issue please visit the National Breast Cancer Coalition's web site.
We need to stop mamograms if we so choose and allow Tomagraphy or Ultra sound as mammograms are causing cancers in women...time for Medicare & the insurance companies to stop telling us what we can or can't have and allow us to decide what we feel is in our own best interest. Tired of too many x rays and radiation in testng that can be done in a safer manner.
Maria DeLuca asks who produced the new mammography guidelines.
It was the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, US government. It was NOT the insurance industry. The scientists at NCI are non-partisan and include epidemiologists, statisticians, and physicians. Their goal is to recommend the optimal screening schedule for the general population - the goal is to reduce risks from overscreening incl. exposure to radiation and unnecessary surgery and yet find small and slow-growing tumors in time to treat. Fast growing tumors are more likely to be detected by the woman herself in any case.
it's interesting that Medicare won't pay for Thermography or Ultrasound, but will pay for mammograms. If men had to have their testicles squeezed between two heavy, radiation-emitting plates once a years, don't you think there would be something better by now? Damn right! I say fewer mammograms, but no restrictions on Ultrasounds or Thermography. I also say that the fed needs to keep its nose out of our sex lives. Therefore, no ultimatums, if you please, about what women do about their own pregnancies. If the government can tell us we can't have abortions, it can also tell us we can't have children. Anti-abortionists don't realize that they're supporting an action that establishes a precedent for government interference in women's childbearing options either way.
I have found every single breast lump myself. I demand they do an ultrasound every time I find a lump and they (the radiology facility) refuses to honor my request and insists on doing a mammogram FIRST, then an ultrasound. Not once has the mammogram detected any abnormalities, yet I continue to be subjected to radiation, but the ultrasounds have found abnormalities every time. I'm 46, have never had children, so I have very dense breast tissue making mammography both worthless but also extremely painful.
So here's my point: each of us is unique. Annual mammograms help some, while do nothing but harm others. If you fall in the category where a mammogram is effective for you, your doctor can prescribe one for you and your insurance really should pay if this is something your doctor thinks you need. HOPEFULLY health care reform will help to solve some of these issues.
Ditto for pap smears, some women will need them more frequently than others. It's ridiculous for everyone to have them annually.
Consider the opposite arguement for a moment. With the insurance companies being as greedy as they are, let's say Mammograms are recommended 1x/year. What is to stop an insurance company to REFUSE treatment for patients who forgo mammograms due to their failure to deduct anything and only expose you to radiation?
One last thing, mammograms alone can exacerbate an existing tumor by rupturing it and causing it to spread. Do you still want your breast traumatized knowing this

Hate is an energy vampire. It accomplishes nothing, wastes time, and makes you unattractive. I have a Facebook friend who post something hateful about a politician everyday and then she wonders why she's losing friends. Politics aside..she's just no fun.
i hate being fat more than i hate exercise and diet
If you don't like it...Don't Eat It!!!! Why waste precious calories on stuff that you really don't like. Think like a child and eat only what you like. It won't kill you to leave something on your plate because it's nasty.
I hate sweat and I knew how to stop it from happening so exercise didnt do much good. I had to learn to sweat. Now I actually had it drip onto the floor! I have always stopped myself from sweating and now I am letting it happen and listing reasons why it is a good thing! Open the flood gates!

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
Something about the mood of LinuxWorld is different at every show. The booths and the technical sessions are becoming more similar all the time, but usually there is some kind of buzz spreading around – the hot news of the show – which is often a new initiative or a new company appearing at the event. Strangely, the big news this year wasn't about a new company appearing – it was about a company not appearing. To the profound fascination of visitors, exhibitors, and the experts in the press room, Red Hat did not have a booth at this year's San Fransisco LinuxWorld.
Several equally speculative explanations circulated through the halls. Although rumors spoke of an impending merger or acquisition, the prevailing opinion was that Red Hat was simply weary of fighting an arms race with much larger companies over high-profile booth space. Red Hat always had a bigger space than the various management appliance companies and antivirus vendors, but they never really competed with the lavish Babylonian gardens of IBM, HP, and Novell.

Long prized for its fur, the chinchilla, or chin, is gaining considerable traction as a pet. Rescue centers are reporting booming numbers of chins going, especially, to young single people and, occasionally, to tech companies as office pets. And they're scurrying in an enormous prominent enclosure by the Petco registers.
"The Apple people came first, then people from Google," said the president of the California Chins Association, Lani Ritchey, who runs a rescue center out of her home. "They wanted some chins to live in their playrooms where the engineers go to lounge and have their junk food. They look like Pikachus, so they think that's cute."
Chinchillas may be trending now (you can read more at SFChronicle.com), but many stranger pets have trended through the ages, as our gallery compiled by Camira Powell shows.

We are creating a film - a story of an immigrant who was brought here as a toddler and now risks deportation. Help us fund this film! Read more
Funding Canceled
Funding for this project was canceled by the project creator on August 7, 2012.
We are creating a film - a story of an immigrant who was brought here as a toddler and now risks deportation. Help us fund this film!
About this project
Your whole life all you know is the United States of America. Your friends - your girlfriend - your food - the language you speak - your education - even the Pledge of Allegiance that you recited every day in school, is all from the United States. Imagine that one day you go about your day as usual, only to find out that the country that you love and support is forcing you to leave; forcing you away from all that you know and care about.
The film The DREAM Act follows the life of an immigrant that meets the above description. There are millions of people in our country who face these struggles every day. This film will be designed to give the country an inside peak into one immigrant's story.
The funds raised will be used to gain permits, transport cast, create sets, for necessary equipment, to promote and distribute The Dream Act. Our goal is for The DREAM Act to make it's way into theaters. We need a minimum of $130,000 to produce the film.
Please visit the following site for more information about the film.
The money we raise will be used on the cast, sets, permits, lighting, transportation, costumes, and most importantly distribution. We want to make sure this film makes it big - this story is a message that needs to be heard.
The film is a fictitious story about a dreamer. The story will use real situations, interactions with others, denials into colleges, job rejections, romance, family deportations, presidential decisions, and other circumstances that a dreamer has to live with. The story will revolve around the dream act, where the fate of this dreamer will depend on the terms and conditions of the whether or not the dream act is passed.
Sure! One of the main reasons we wanted to launch The DREAM Act on Kickstarter is because we wanted to share the project with the world. Our director is a relatively new director who loves to be inspired by others. If you have ideas about scenes, if you want to be a critic, if you want a chance to be an actor/actress in the film, if you have great music that can be used for the film, if you are an amazing artist, or if you want to take a part in the editing or promoting, we would love for you to join us make this film as amazing as possible!

Unrelated to the game, but I like your commitment to the change log.
Lugdunon is a 2d multiplayer RPG / sandbox game that is reminiscent of the 16 bit console era. Lugdunon runs within your web browser, so no client download is needed. Lugdunon can also be played 'on the go' on mobile devices such as iPads and Android tablets. Players can engage in combat with each other or with NPCs, craft and trade items, empower their character with the advancement system, place and decorate in-game signs using the full-featured sign editor, and more! However, what is really interesting about Lugdunon is the ability to take the game and truly make it your own. With powerful in-game editors available to players who have been designated 'Game Masters' and the ability to run your own server, the sky is the limit! Currently, from within the game itself, Game Masters can create new crafting recipes, add and edit NPCs, paint the landscape using up to 16 terrain layers, raise and lower elevation to create cliffs and chasms, place items, and edit NPC spawn points.
Beta 0.6.4 released. Important features: mod repositories, full mod management from standalone client, initial pass on particle system, new quests, locations, NPCs, and enemies, balancing, and bug fixes.
Posted by lugdunon on May 30th, 2014
Beta 0.6.4 released. Important features: mod repositories, full mod management from standalone client, initial pass on particle system, new quests, locations, NPCs, and enemies, balancing, and bug fixes.
Note: Apologies, but due to the nature of this release (with respect to mod management, and the expanding world) a full client / server download is recommended. Also, the public servers are going to see a complete reset with this release. This likely will not occur again for a few months though. :)
Mod Repositories
Support for mod repositories allows for players and server ops to quickly and easily located a wide range of world and server mods. A mod repository is a location on the internet that curates a collection of mods, and is defined in a repository.ldn file. The standalone client also provides a UI for managing repositories, and for installing mods provided by the registered repositories, located in the options -> setting list.
An ANT task has also been created to facilitate the creation of the repository.ldn file.
Full Mod Management From Standalone Client
Finally, players can completely manage all aspect of their installed server and world mods without ever leaving the standalone client UI. Available functions for both server and world mods are install, enable, disable, and remove. World mod toggling can also be performed on a per world basis. Also, the need to host world mods in each world's file structure has been eliminated. Now, each world pulls its world mod implementations from a localized central cache.
Finally, the standalone client and world configuration property keys are now displayed in the form of an editable select box. You can choose a predefined key or enter a custom one.
Particle System
The first pass at adding a particle system is complete. You can play with it at Client.lugdunon.net! Needless to say, this will likely evolve a great deal before the 1.0.0 release, but the core is now in.
New Stuff!
The world has grown, with the addition of new areas to explore, NPCs to interact with, enemies to combat, and a dozen new quests await completion!
A second artist, the very talented Becca Bair has begun work on an alternate tileset, dubbed 'Tupelo'. Only a few of the terrain layers have been completed so far, but it is exciting to look forward to the option of a second set of art to choose from when creating your world!
Weapons and tools have all had their durability increased by 100%, except for the stone grade items which have had a durability increase of 150%. Also, weapons and tools now require 50% less stamina to use across the board.
Bug Fixes
Other Changes of Note
As always, the full change log for 0.6.4 is available here.

There is also a risk associated with conception of the child, Brady noted. Though transmission of HIV from an infected woman to an uninfected male partner is not universal during unprotected sex, it can happen. Even if both partners are already infected with HIV, an infected male partner might transmit a new strain of HIV to his infected female partner, which can cause problems for the mother and fetus as well.
We dont understand all of the factors that affect the risk of transmitting HIV with an individual sex act. Taking medications and lowering the viral load reduces but doesnt eliminate the risk. Some people interested in having a child may be willing to accept this risk. But there is a risk, Brady said.
One finding of the study surprised the researchers. Women who had the most negative self-image associated with their HIV status were also the most likely to want to become pregnant.
We would have predicted that the lower the stigma, the more likely women would choose to become pregnant. We saw the exact opposite that those with high stigma were making more choices in favor of pregnancy, Serovich said.
For some women who feel highly stigmatized by their disease, the rewards of pregnancy might offer therapeutic benefits, the researchers suggest.
When youre pregnant, you get lots of attention, people come up to you and touch your belly. You get a shower, people do things for you. There

The pattern of mucocutaneous disorders in HIV infected children attending care and treatment in Tikur Anbesa specialized hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

2 Department of Dermatology and Venerology, College of Health Sciences, School of Medicine, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
3 PO Box 90074, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
BMC Dermatology 2013, 13:12 doi:10.1186/1471-5945-13-12Published: 25 October 2013
Children with HIV infection may develop a wide variety of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the skin. These disorders are often more severe and more difficult to treat than in the immunocompetent child. In some cases, disorders of the skin or mucous membranes may provide an early clue to the presence of pediatric HIV infection.
It is a descriptive cross-sectional study which was conducted at the pediatric infectious disease unit, department of pediatrics and child health, Tikur Anbesa specialized Hospital. Clinical information was collected using a questionnaire. The data was analyzed using SSPS 16.0 version. Chi-squared was utilized where appropriate and a p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Two hundred seventy HIV infected children were recruited in this study. Out of these females were 51.5% and males were 48.5%. Most of the children 196/270 (72.6%) were suffering from one or more mucocutanous disorders. The most prevalent mucocutanous disorders were infectious dermatosis. Overall, mucocutaneous disorders were more prevalent in advanced stages of HIV disease P < 0.001. Two or more mucocutanous disorders were found in moderate and sever immunosuppression. Seventy three percent of the HIV-infected children with mucocutaneous disorders were already on HAART.
The prevalence of mucocutanous disorders is high in HIV infected children. Advanced immunosuppression is highly associated with a wide spectrum of mucocutanous disorders.

ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Seventy-two start ups, 2,500 workers, and $202 million in company revenues are just three new ways to measure the progress of Indiana's health information technology (HIT) innovation cluster, a growing market and important part of the state's economy.
These data, and more, are set forth in a new report, From Dishwashers to Digital Medical Records – Indiana's Leadership in Health Information Technology, released today at the national Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) trade show by BioCrossroads, Indiana's initiative for investment, development and advancement of the state's signature life sciences strengths. The BioCrossroads report defines, for the first time, the HIT cluster as a specific sector of life sciences economic activity in Indiana, analyzing core assets and documenting a decade-long story of steady growth. The report is available at www.biocrossroads.com.
According to the BioCrossroads report, Indiana's HIT sector includes more than 72 growing companies (organizations that produce or use technologies that store, process, manage, and transmit health information, including patient data), along with active participation and collaboration from health plans, life sciences companies, academic institutions, philanthropic organizations, and state government that, working together, have bolstered Indiana's health IT industry to make a real difference in the economy of the state and the health of its citizens.
"Indiana is at the forefront when it comes to the delivery of better healthcare through the use of better information," said David Johnson, president and CEO of BioCrossroads. "This report is the first place that has staked out the fast-growing field of HIT as a worthy life sciences sector all on its own, and a driver of economic growth as well as higher quality healthcare."'/>"/>

Gold Fields Disappointed by Court Finding on St. Ives Land Claim
Gold Fields Ltd. said it will probably appeal an Australian court's finding that the award of some mining areas to its St. Ives unit is invalid. A group of indigenous people brought the claim for the land.
A July 3 Federal Court decision by a single judge accepted the Ngadju people's submission that the grant of the mining tenements, or production areas, is invalid as they're inconsistent with the group's native-title rights, Gold Fields said. The parties now have to start a process of agreeing the terms of the claim, which could take months, the company said in a statement today.
The Ngadju people claim that 210 of the 250 mining tenements held by Johannesburg-based Gold Fields aren't valid because the Native Title Act 1993 was not followed when the company acquired the assets and at other times, Gold Fields said on Jan. 27.
"Gold Fields is both surprised and disappointed by this finding, and remains strongly of the view that it has at all times complied with its obligations under the Native Title Act 1993," it said. The company will probably appeal the decision to a three-judge Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia and the High Court if needed, it said.
Gold Fields bought St. Ives, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) south of the town of Kalgoorlie, in 2001, operates four underground mines there and owns an area covering 99,594 hectares, according to its website. The company extended its presence in the region last year with the purchase of three mines from Toronto-based Barrick Gold Corp.
The company will take all steps needed to ensure that the St. Ives operations are unaffected while the matter is resolved.

w/ Miami Horror DJs, The Belligerents + Skegss
Wednesday February 18, 2015
Brisbane-based dancey punks DZ Deathrays combine buzzsaw guitar riffs with fiery, party-ready rhythms. Fittingly, the group — comprised of singer/guitarist Shane Parsons and drummer Simon Ridley, intent on exclusively playing house parties. Word soon got out and they grew to the rock club circuit, releasing their debut EP, Ruined My Life, early the following year. By 2010, DZ Deathrays toured with the likes of Crystal Castles and Ratatat and performed at festivals like Big Day Out, Parklife, and Field Day, making way for their signing to the Melbourne label I Oh You a year later. Their first album arrived the following spring 2012 to acclaim from NME and Q Magazine, while also taking the Best Independent Hard Rock Album at the 2012 Australian Independent Music Awards and the Best Hard Rock/Metal Album at the ARIA Awards the same year. While touring the album the duo managed to start writing what would become their sophomore release and at the beginning of 2014 entered Grove Studios, Sydney with producer Burke Reid to record for two weeks. The sessions resulted in the band's second album, Black Rat , which was released in mid-2014.
It may have been a long time coming for some, but Australia's favourite psychedelic-dance adventurers, Miami Horror, are set to return this Summer with a whole new bag of delights. The past few years have seen the group release their highly anticipated debut, Illumination, to heady acclaim, as well as relocate to the US after lengthy tours of both their home country and abroad. Settling in Los Angeles, the four-piece quickly found inspiration in the glowing year-round Californian sun, set up a home studio, and eagerly started experimenting with new sounds and projects to ease their creative itch.
The Belligerents are an indie/dance 5-piece from Brisbane. In 2012 they won a Triple J Unearthed competition which saw them play at Parklife along side the likes of The Presets, Nero and Passion Pit.
Skegss are a band without complex. It's just as you hear, a slack rock band, that remind you of walking bare feet, being sunburned with stiff hair thanks to sea salt.

Simple and fast software versioning workflow
Whether you are new to versioning or a Subversion pundit, the Cornerstone solution will lend a hand to streamline your workflow and make version control more clear.
Cornerstone isn't just a wrapper for Subversion's command-line tools, but, instead, it has been designed from the ground up as an all-inclusive version of Subversion, with the core Subversion bundled inside it.
Start working on your project right after installing Cornerstone
This means that you can get started working on your projects as soon as you install it on your Mac, because it will allow you to use the latest version of Subversion without you having to bother about upgrading your installation or installing Subversion from scratch and waste time configuring it to work properly on your machine.
As an added advantage, Cornerstone incorporates both Subversion's client functionality and its administrative tools. As a result, while using Cornerstone to manage your workload, you will be able to delete and create repositories on your Mac without the need of launching a Terminal and using the command-line.
RSA based SSH authentication
Furthermore, the Cornerstone software is a security and privacy oriented solution that makes it effortless and straightforward to incorporate RSA based key pairs in your SSH authentication scheme.
What's more, with the help of the built-in logging engine and the simple styled yet useful project timeline, Cornerstone allows you to easily browse your project's history.
Zero configuration version control system
Cornerstone's zero configuration requirement is yet another bonus feature designed to make it the go to app for any Subversion fan that wants to work on a revision control project using a Mac.
In conclusion, Cornerstone places Subversion's powerful and intuitive versioning control system within the reach of mere mortals, via a well-designed and exhaustive user interface.

If you want new then I'd suggest Kaiser which can be found at:
Kienzle found at:
but if you are looking for second hand then Durst is by far the best option as there is a huge amount on the market and they are quality unlike meopta or LPL which IMO are junk.
get the following PDF which lists the last made models and will give you a grounding in what was/is available. There are a lot of older models out there too.
The simplest to use are the ones with with vario heads which just use one dial to alter contrast but the colour heads work too by using yellow and magenta. Or you may opt for a B+W head and use ilford MG filters but you need to make sure you have a filter drawer for those otherwise you need an under the lens filter holder as opposed to over the lens (and film) drawer.
The M805 is a pro level and very good and have corresspondingly higher prices. The Modular 70 is very good too as is the M670
I'd suggest the M670 or equivalent older model is the minimum for your requirements. Just be careful about which head it has with it and also whether is has mixing box for bot 35mm and 6x7 (which also covers 6x4.5 and 6x6) format.
If you want to use 6x9 the the M805 is required or even the L1200 but the L1200 is big and heavy.
Personally if money is no object I'd go for a Kaiser 4560 or 4471 otherwise a durst M805 or Modular 70. Or M670 if you are on a tight budget.

Wow, for a minute the color pallet led me to believe this was an oreo ad…
Wow! Looks really sexy when you obscure her body and photoshop her face! Oh wait. Everyone does when you do that.
I'm confused. Are the "Sleep Sheets" the linens on the bed, or the acid she's dissolving on her tongue?
I was thinking pubes.
Same here. Pubes.
Is that Beyonce's pillow er baby er surrogate?
For those that love to sleep with trannies.
"The secret to the high thread count is pubes."
Thats the sexiest grizzly bear I have seen in recent memory but what exactly do bears have to do with sleep?
Looks like someone got a knappy headed pubic hair in her mouth.
I'm not sure I want to know where that freaky logo came from…acid trip, crack high, Mary Jane buzz…..???
Because when you think of restful sleep, you think of Serena Williams? Wtf?
Clever move, hiding as much of her as possible behind a giant pillow.
She sheet herself.
Man arms are freaking me the fuck out
She's holding a zipper closed, and the gorilla suit is inside out.
THAT is the stupidest "promo" I have ever seen. I had to google wtf "sleep sheets" are because I thought they were disposable sheets you could bring with you when you travel. They're sleep aids that you dissolve on your tongue. Why make it look like she's picking pubes out of her mouth ON A HOTEL BED?!? Maybe they SHOULD make disposable bed sheets for travel. FFS. And the "Who Sheets" page on the site just pisses me off. http://www.sheetsbrand.com/#who-page
That pillow hides a multitude of sins.
"This is my new man. He only uses his tongue. He doesn't make me sleep on the wet spot and I don't have to make him breakfast in the morning."
And she'll keep showing up in his bed until Jack Woltz reconsiders.
Mr. Corleone never asks a second favor once he's refused the first, understood?
Don't you hate it when you dive headfirst into your bed at the hotel only to get some of the previous owners pubes in your mouth? Serena just figured that out.

According to the Arthritis Foundation, in addition to joint pain and swelling, RA may make daily functioning difficult and is frequently associated with fatigue. "Patients with RA often say that fatigue is one of their most frustrating symptoms because it makes it difficult for them to participate in work or social activities," said Mark Genovese, M.D., professor of medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine, and lead study investigator. "A reduction in fatigue would represent a tremendous benefit and significantly impact the lives of patients with this disease."
Through week 24, patients in both dose groups receiving golimumab plus methotrexate experienced significant improvement in physical function, compared with patients receiving methotrexate alone. At 24 weeks, 70 percent of those receiving golimumab plus methotrexate experienced a clinically relevant improvement in physical function, compared with 39 percent of patients receiving methotrexate alone (P < 0.0001). Also at week 24, the combined golimumab group achieved a mean improvement in HAQ of 0.46 +/- 0.53, compared with an improvement of 0.13 +/- 0.58 among patients receiving methotrexate alone (P < 0.001).
Patients treated with golimumab also experienced significant
improvement in HRQOL, as assessed by the Physical Component Summary (PCS)
and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores of the Short form (SF)-36
questionnaire. In the combined golimumab plus methotrexate group, the mean
improvement in PCS at week 14 was 7.7 +/- 8.1, compared with an improvement
of 2.5 +/- 8.1 in the group receiving methotrexate alone (P < 0.001).
Patients in the combined group also experienced a mean improvement in MCS
of 3.1 +/- 10.8 at week 24, compared with 0.8 +/- 9.7 among patients
receiving methot

Okay. So it is my first time planning a trip and i chose genting. I already asked my uncle and i would be only buying the outdoor themepark ticket. The First World theme park attractions (e.g snow world..) i would buy separately. I have already planned my trip. It will be on the 11th of December. From KL sentral, the express bus to the skyway station and then to genting. The return trip would be the same. I have calculated the costs for food, transport, rides, tickets and backup money which would all add up to RM200 per person. I've looked through the timings and wrote down the plan of the day so that i won't be late for a ride or anything. But i really really need a help of an adult to see whether the amount i've calculated is enough. I'm really nervous because I don't want to make a mistake as it would be a day trip and i wouldn't be able to go home if i miss a ride or anything. Thank you! Email me on -email@example.com .

Valentine's Day may mean candlelight dinner in an expensive restaurant for some, but comedian Andy Woodhull suggests spending the Hallmark holiday giggling at one of his two shows at the Millroom Friday night.
"You spend the night laughing and you don't have to say anything," said the comedian, who spent his honeymoon last October in nearby Hot Springs. "It is also fun (or scary) to see what your date laughs at."
Woodhull knows his funny business. After making his TV debut on Comedy Central's "Live at Gotham," he performed at Canada's Just for Laughs Comedy Festival and The Great American ...

Ummm yes I'm sure you will. You can't even spell insult. Instead, apparently when you are offended, someone is giving you a great big cuddle and insulating you. Also you being a so-called college graduate cannot spell different, yep see that, there is an 'e' in the middle. Do you have an issue with the letter 'e' as it is missing from your spelling of 'completely'. Oops and there it is again, try 'douche'. Don't boast about your intellectual qualifications and go on to make a 6 year olds grammatical error. I guess Geography, History and English weren't your best subjects.

Those dildo said Americans can't name 3 country's, I can name 50 country's off the top of my head right now and all I need is south America and Africa, don't even need eastern/western Europe/Asia all the way toaAustralia or the Caribbean to do it.

I mean more than half of the people in the southern and western states of the USA are originally from Mexico aren't they? and you have places like Los Angeles, San Diego etc..Mexican names.

Varnish, thank you for bringing me down to earth (it was not my intention to insult Lomachenko's nationality, by the way). Juanma didn't have the speed, the defense, the conditioning or the smarts to be an elite fighter, and Salido exposed that. This kid seems to have all those things and speed especially gives Salido problems. But the little I've seen from him, he still makes some amateurish mistakes, like falling in with his head when he comes in and he doesn't seem to be a one punch KO type puncher. So if Salido can hang around for 6-8 rounds (and he's done so against the likes of García, Juanma, Gamboa…), we could definitely find out if Lomachenko has any flaws of his own.Posted February 27, 2014 11:55 am
Racial insults and national pride aside, does anyone give Salido a chance in this fight? He destroyed Juanma when he looked like the next big thingPosted February 27, 2014 11:44 am

I'm American and I know Lomachenko is from the Ukraine not Russia. Just because you're thick and ignorant that doesn't mean everyone from the US is the same as you. But by all means, take pride in your stupidity, it clearly suits down to the ground.Posted February 27, 2014 7:52 am
OH. MY apologies to Russell Jr. He turned Pro at 20 yrs old and Lomachenko turned Pro at 25. Also Russell Jr is the mandatory for the WINNER of Lomachenko and Salido. SO time to see if Russell Jr is ready to step UP to the Big leagues or will he pass on his title shot like a SISSY.Posted February 27, 2014 2:09 am
Lomachenko has MUCH more heart than Gary Russell Jr. I APPLAUD him on that!!Posted February 27, 2014 1:46 am
Lomachenko is Ukrainian, not Russian……………
It so appears that Laurence Cole will be the referee, I would never allow him to be a ref in any fight I was in. Cole is awful, one of the worst referees living today, if not the worst. Judges? The appear to be a bunch of idiots…………
Lomachenko can win this fight, but what about all the pressure? He might need a lot of stamina, could go 12 rounds, then it might not, but with Cole as ref you never know.Posted February 27, 2014 1:07 am

If this kid were American, I would seriously doubt they would be matching him with a guy as rugged and heavy handed as Salido so fast (no matter how good he is). Especially since he hasn't had his chin checked. But the kid is Russian and the reality is that America is not going to have three Russian boxing superstars, and there are PLENTY of candidates for the spot. So sweet uncle Bob has decided to speed up the process and the kid is happy to oblige. What's next, Donaire? Welcome to USA Lomachenko, watch out for the speed bumps.Posted February 27, 2014 12:04 am
Lomachenko has only 4 rounds of professional experience.
Why not fight every two weeks for 6 months — to get a lot of rounds in? Get the feel of the pro game.
Go on a barnstroming tour rather than go straight for a title shot. But maybe he really doesn't need it. Certainly he doesn't for this fight — but maybe the next one.Posted February 26, 2014 11:11 pm
"I have being an underdog all my professional career …"
Being??? oops! LOLPosted February 26, 2014 8:57 pm
Solid respect by both fighters for each other is a breath of fresh air. You don't need to over sell a good match-up, I guess.Posted February 26, 2014 8:51 pm

Where Is the Money for Test Security?
Here's what is in the news this Thursday morning:
Back in the fall, state Education Department officials backed a series of measures that would improve the security of tests and make it more difficult for students, teachers or administrators to cheat to boost the results. The move was endorsed by the state Board of Regents, but questions lingered about which entity -- state or districts -- would cover the costs.
The answer? Apparently nobody.
Gotham Schools reports that the new state budget proposals by both Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and the two houses of the Legislature do not include any line items to cover the new security measures. As Gotham reports:
"The legislature said it's obviously not a priority for them," SED spokesman Dennis Tompkins said of the test security proposals.
But at least one legislator noted the folly of that choice:
"As more and more importance is placed on state tests, there needs to be real reform: higher quality tests, better formats, and improved test integrity," said Senator Daniel Squadron. "The only way to improve the quality of the tests and the integrity of the scoring is to invest more dollars to move beyond oversimplified multiple choice, and to professionalize assessment."
That was certainly the thinking back in September, following a report by a state panel that was asked to look into cheating. A series of test-security measures were suggested, including same-day testing for all districts throughout the state and certification for test proctors. The state also sought financing so schools could end the long-time practice of having classroom teachers grade their own students' Regents exams, conduct more erasure analysis and hire an independent investigator to look into allegations of cheating.
As The New York Times reported at the time:
In outlining the recommendations, John B. King Jr., the state education commissioner, and Valerie Grey, the executive deputy commissioner, wrote in a memorandum to the Board of Regents that not enough was being done to detect and deter cheating by teachers and principals, given the rising stakes of tests.
"Here in New York, as standardized test scores are increasingly utilized for school and district accountability" and in teacher and principal evaluations, they wrote, "it is imperative that those tests are not compromised."
What will happen in Albany? Gotham reports:
Cuomo and legislators say they expect a final budget to be submitted before the April 1 deadline and they continue to negotiate behind closed doors, but it's unlikely that funding for erasure analysis will be restored, budget experts said. Both the State and the Assembly want to push back against Cuomo's performance-based grants and that issue is dominating these discussions, officials said.
In other news, kudos -- and thanks -- go to a Brooklyn elementary school teacher who used her lunch hour well: she saved a life, the Daily News reports.
Cassandra Byrd-Scolaro, 34, a 10-year teaching veteran who teaches fourth grade at Public School 17 Henry D. Woodworth in Williamsburg, had just ordered a chicken Caesar wrap at S&B; Restaurant at 194 Bedford Avenue when she heard a commotion: a woman was lifeless in the restroom.
Ms. Byrd-Scolaro administered C.P.R. and stabilized the apparently drug-addled woman, who was then taken away by ambulance.
The woman failed to thank the teacher, but Ms. Byrd-Scolaro's principal, Dr. Robert Marchi, was full of praise:
"To me, she represents the very best in what a teacher ought to be," Marchi said of Byrd-Scolaro. "I can't think of another person you'd rather have at your side in distress than this lady."
Here's some of what's going on in education this Thursday:
The teachers' union and other activist groups are organizing demonstrations in all five boroughs to protest the school closings under the Bloomberg administration. The protesters are illustrating their complaints in Manhattan with what they call the "Bloomberg School Cemetery" with tombstones of the closed schools. In Queens they will call for eight schools to be kept open.
The protests are scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at Foley Square in Manhattan, at 4:30 p.m. at 65 Court Street in Brooklyn, at 5 p.m. at 118-35 Queens Boulevard in Queens, at 4 p.m. outside of Staten Island Borough Hall, and at 4 p.m. at the Bronx Borough Hall, 161st Street and Grand Concourse.
And in Harlem, parents and others from P.S. 208 Alain L. Locke and P.S. 185 John M. Langston will be at a hearing on the collocation of the fifth grades of Harlem Success Academy 2 and 3 to their building, which is already shared by four schools.
Critics of the plan say P.S. 208 and P.S. 185 "will not be able to grow and expand their programs" and the collocation "will cause the students to lose out on and limit the use of their dance room, music room, library, art room, Play Rugby program, cafeteria, gymnasium, school yard, and the resource room." The hearing and protest are at the school building, 21 West 111th Street, at 5 p.m.
