This is what I found LA to be like, neighborhood wise. For some reason this type of information was very hard to squeeze out of people when I was trying to move down here. Either they didn't know, couldn't put it into words, or didn't feel like taking the time to tell me. So I had to do my own research and legwork. Here it all is for free just for fun. Prices were for late 2008.
East Hollywood/Los Feliz/Silverlake - good starter area. Relatively thrifty but livable. Air quality not so bad. 15 min to Hollywood center. Studio apts from 800. Alt/indie/boho spots. A little grungy in spots. Lower-income, hipster, Thai/Armenian/Latino. I prefer areas north of Sunset. Near Franklin Village or Vermont/Hillhurst is most quality of life. Better studios can be found 850-950. Roommate situations same.
Silverlake/Echo Park are hip, a little grungier looking, a little cheaper. Looks grody at first but probably grows on you. Fixed gear types take heed. Nice hipster cafes, stores and restaurants, prices lower than elsewhere. Area is farther from where you need to go but manageable. Areas south of here in no-man's land are cheaper but not recommended.
Hollywood - many nice houses and decent apartments here. Somewhat higher prices than above perhaps, but affordable options are there. Best apts are perhaps those north of Hollywood Blvd near the parks and hills. I would guess 900 and up for a good studio/single here. Parking and parking for your friends/scene partners may be an issue. Crime does happen. My preference is to avoid heavily foot-trafficked areas with unknown elements, and look for a quieter street near some shops/cafes/restaurants/theaters. Would not prefer to live in Hollywood proper, air quality not the best either. Many micro-hoods in Hollywood, too many to name.
K-town - Wouldn't live here but many people I've known do, happily. Cheaper, studios from 700 range. Higher crime, slightly embattled feel. Walkable areas, good Asian restaurants, upscale new developments. Korean/Latino. Crazier driving goes down here. Not the cleanest or the cleanest air. Some nightlife. Fast movement to Hollywood central, mid-Wilshire.
Studio City - Nicer, cleaner, more wide open, but over the hill, which works for a lot of people. Would stay very close to Ventura, air quality and livability declines as you go north. More white, more younger people, more affordable eateries and stores, more preppy. Industry presence in offices, classes, services. Slightly more expensive than above but still cheaper than other areas.
Valley Village, Universal City, Burbank - A little far east for my taste since I work in WeHo but Burbank downtown is really nice, dense upscale small-town feel. Preppier, more suburban, perhaps more family-ish.
West Hollywood - Somewhat expensive, but nice apts can be had for say, $1100+. Cheaper ones no doubt exist. Boys' town. Many beautiful small homes/residences. Cleaner. The farther west the better.
Santa Monica - Very expensive but gorgeous, clean air, nice urban development, bustling/laid-back vibe. I'd like to live here, but wouldn't do it until I had at least $1300/mo to blow and was ready to lengthen or stop my commute. This is the LA you think of with babes jogging. Nightlife with UCLA crossover. Roommates are out there but they and renters are more selective than in other areas. Areas in 'east' SM are in kind of a no man's land, in my opinion, basically being West LA.
West LA - Big amorphous area, dunno. Wide fast streets, big apt blocks, inhuman scale. Nice restaurant row on Sawtelle.
Century City, Westwood Village, Brentwood - Wide fast streets on an inhuman scale. More affluent. Apt situation/neighborhoods unknown. Corporate industry presence. Westwood Village is nice perhaps for UCLA students.
Feel free to chime in or correct me guys.

West Hollywood and beyond, as in West LA. Otherwise, bring Kevlar. It is a crap shoot.
It's nice of you to put it all together, nightrider
Maybe someone would want to add some current info about North Hollywood and/or Pasadena? Not for me, I'm in NYC now, but from what I recall those were areas where actors sometime end up living. Sherman Oaks, too.

Great advice. I echo most of these thoughts, and here are some of my own- particularly to women who are moving out here:
I would stay away from K-town, when possible. I've heard so many horror stories over the years. I warned my friend before she moved there, and she moved anyway... her boyfriend's car got broken into 3x, and they were held up at knife-point on a quiet residential street at 8PM.
Silver Lake is great... I lived there (I'm female) and always felt safe. A lot of families. Sunset Junction has great restaurants and bars within walking distance.
West Hollywood has great parts and not so great parts. Little Russia area (basically between La Brea and a few blocks east of Fairfax, between Santa Monica Blvd and Fountain) is a cheaper area. Although relatively safe as far as apartments go, there are a lot of car break-ins and that sort of thing in the area. Further south (between Melrose and Beverly) is a little safer. West of Fairfax is pricier, but quite safe.
Hollywood is not glamorous (not like you'd imagine if you've never been out here), but it is cheaper. Franklin Hills area has permit parking and nice apartments-- just north of Hollywood/Franklin. You're still in the middle of everything, yet a little more detached. Little Armenia (around Kingsley, Western) is kind of shady... If you're set on the Hollywood route, try to get as close to Vermont/Franklin as possible.
Miracle Mile area is great- around Wilshire between La Brea and La Cienega. Parking is a pain at times, but there are a lot of comparatively inexpensive apartments. Very much a young professional type area.
Hope this helps!

I've lived in both Pasadena and Sherman Oaks.
Most people in LA don't consider Pasadena as part of Los Angeles. If you live here you'll have a hellacious time trying to get anyone to come visit you. You'd think it was the other side of the moon when it's really only 30 minutes from the middle of Hollywood. That being said... It's a great town. Very quiet, clean, and affordable. It's a good place to live if you don't want to be directly in the line of fire.
I loved living in Sherman Oaks! It's close to everything. I lived off Ventura and could walk to restaurants, bars, the grocery store, etc. I always felt safe. It's decently priced and cleaner than other parts of town. One word of warning... It gets frickin hot in the summer so make sure you have A/C.

Not a bad idea if you can to visit and stay in a hotel for a week checking out the area...or bunk with a friend to get the lay of the land without committing to a lease

I have been considering moving to LA recently so this thread is a godsend. Just a quick question re. West Hollywood. My previous trips to LA have been vacations really and I never had a clue where the heck I was. A few years back at spring break we ended up bunking in someone's parents apartment. I now wish I had paid more attention but all I know is that it was across the street from the Empire(?) aparts. Does that make sense to anyone? What part of WH would that be and is it all that nice?
|Johnny Depp
hahah i never thought about it but i thought it was funny how you said santa monica is the hollywood most people think of! its so true!
me personally i have lived in the heart of hollywood since i moved here at 15 (i am 21 now) and it is the place i feel the most safe out of anywhere else in the city. it seems scary at first if your new or visiting but the people here are just characters. we have the party kids, homeless dudes, drug addicts, musicians, actors, reality stars and all these other stereo types but they are everywhere.
oh and the micro-hoods you mention about hollywood are really just little high school kids we call tagbangers. all they do is fight amongst each other and to get themselves feeling like they are gangsters or something. we call them tagbangers because most of there beef is due to someone tagging in their area or crossing out there name and thus starting a fight. they dont bother you, i know a ton of kids like this since i went to high school with them and they are nothing to take seriously. They are nothing compared to the gangs in south l.a ....
over all it seems you got it down pretty well as far as being a girls point of view. I would just say that hollywood is the best but i am super biased because its where i basically grew up and i hope I stay in this neighborhood my whole life because i love it!
i cant stand hipsters!

I live between Culver City and Venice; both are missing from your list, sooo...
Culver City: Used to be a no man's land, but was recently gentrified and is now pretty hip/trendy. Lots of late 20's-late 30's professionals and industry types (Culver Studios and Sony are there.) Shoot for as close to "Downtown Culver City" (ie. the intersection of Washington & Culver Blvd.) as possible. A great cluster of restaurants/bars within walking distance of each other. The beach is 15 minutes away, and freeways are pretty close by. Nicer studios start at about $700-800+.
Venice Beach: Basically lives up to its stereotype. Lots of pothead surfer bums living in shacks, lots of artists, lots of rich pseudo-boho types in super-modern mansions. If you have the money, the Abbot Kinney area is an awesome neighborhood to call home. But it's pricey (plan to spend at LEAST $1200 on rent alone) and for the same price, you could live in Santa Monica (which is much cleaner, preppier and urban.) I personally love Venice, but I'm a total hippy at heart ;-)
|Johnny Depp
I currently live in Burbank and I love it! I moved from NC to L.A. in August '09, but spent the prior year researching on the internet for the best areas/neighborhoods to relocate to. I spent a lot of time lurking on this board gathering advice and info from fellow actors who were already here because I was moving out here without knowing a soul.
I found my place through Westside Rentals and I'm renting from a great landlord in beautiful Burbank. Definite small-town feel, clean, well maintained homes and well patrolled by police (Burbank has their own force). Just a short hop over the hill to Hollywood and Weho for classes.
I feel very lucky to have found a good home!

Actually LA is in the middle of the lowest crime rate in over 50 years. The crime stats are lower than Omaha, Nebraska, and the murder rate is less than half what it was in the 90s. People are not 100% sure what to credit for it, but there was an article recently in the New York Times about it.
Culver City is indeed lookin' sharp, main drag looks like a set for some kind of Beverly Hills. Nice restaurants, more preppy, etc.
Venice is hella far from Hollywood and I'm not that grungy, but I know people do like it there.
Little Armenia shady? Lol... I never thought of it that way. I know what you mean, but it's not that bad.
I am totally biased, but Santa Monica is worth every penny if you can stretch it. North of Wilshire is amazing, but way pricey. I would try to stay north of the 10 if you can, otherwise south Santa Monica is the same as Venice in my opinion. Not too close to the beach is also a plus because it's still walkable, but when you go east of Lincoln you at least get away from "scene" and can still get there in a 10 minute walk.

If it is alive, is it even relevant or, to borrow a phrase from Eliot, is it a patient "etherized upon a table"?

Natural dietary sources of creatine are skeletal muscles like beef and pork. One pound of beef contains 2 grams of creatine. But it's tough to get the quantity you need by loading up on red meat. So most athletes opt to get it in supplement form. It's an odorless, virtually tasteless, white powder that looks like sugar.
Loading Phase (first week of use)
The Creatine Dose Table below shows how much you might need depending on your weight and how hard you train.
| Maintenance
|Below 155 lbs.
|12-16 grams
|4-8 grams
|156 to 175 lbs.
|13-17 grams
|5-9 grams
|176 to 199 lbs.
|14-18 grams
|6-10 grams
|200 to 225 lbs.
|15-19 grams
|7-11 grams
|Above 225 lbs.
|16-20 grams
|8-12 grams
* The low side of the range represents 1 hour training, two to three times per week at a low level of intensity. Mid range is 1-1/2 hours training three to four times per week at a medium level of intensity. High range is 2 hours training five to six times per week at a high level of intensity.
Reference adapted from: Creatine: Nature's Muscle Builder by Ray Sahelian, MD, p. 49, 53.Q. What should I mix it with?
Probably the most popular method has been to mix it with grape juice. However, half the sugar in grape juice is very low glycemic and won't spike insulin levels. If you're watching your carb intake, your wasting precious carbs from the grape juice with no benefit to raising insulin levels.
Our CreaFit Creatine Transport formula provides creatine plus dextrose. Dextrose rates about the same on a glycemic index scale as glucose used in the study referred to earlier. Dextrose rates 100 on a scale of 1 to 100, the higher the number, the more it can trigger an insulin response. For reference purposes, fructose-some of the sugar found in grape juice rates a 20, table sugar rates a 59, honey is 87, a baked potato is about 97 and dextrose and glucose are 100. But if you are hypoglycemic (get low blood sugar) or your energy levels crash about a half hour after eating sugary foods, then just take the straight creatine and avoid the carbs. It still works fantastic and is the way athletes took creatine for years until the new study showed ways to make it even more effective.Q. I've hit a plateau on my bench press. Can creatine help me punch through it?
Creatine works by extending the ATP energy production cycle. You typically can go all out on a sprint or weight lifting set for about 5 seconds before your effort or strength drops off. That's because your body's ATP stores are depleted. It takes several minutes to recycle from spent energy (ADP) back to useable energy (ATP). Creatine helps extend the ATP energy cycle by several seconds (some say up to 5 seconds). This means you can put more effort into a few more reps in a set. More stress on your muscles means you can get stronger, faster. That's why creatine works well for athletes requiring short bursts of energy. It's ideal for weight training. However, if you do not train hard, then creatine will do little for you.Q. I don't seem to notice any results from creatine?

Now this wireless point's ESSID is longer then 10 characters, so it doesn't display at airodump start, is it possible to retrieve the ESSID by BSSID, if so please some additional information.

Alistair Overeem vs Antonio 'Bigfoot' Silva
#3 Rank squares off with the #9 Rank.
Many would expect Reem to win but I think it's a good match up, if Silva can somehow get the win, it throws him right back into the title mix especially as Overeem is tipped to fight the Champion if he wins this bout.
Added to the already main stacked card...
Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar
Rashad Evans vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
Dan Henderson vs. Lyoto Machida
with Urijah Faber and Erick Silva both rumoured to be on the card.

Grand opening is Saturday, Feb. 16, 1 p.m.
Newtown, CONN. (February 6, 2013) -- As parents and Newtown residents for over 10 years Andrew Clure and Scott Cicciari share the emotions of all their neighbors in the wake of 12/14/12. The community has been polarized in unity to heal and begin to move forward. Mr. Clure and Mr. Cicciari where searching for an outlet to help. Drawing on a passion for pinball machines and their contacts in the arcade industry they developed the idea of opening an arcade full of family games.
The Sandy Hook Arcade Center (SHAC), located in Sand Hill Plaza at 228 South Main Street, will be open after school three days a week and on weekends. Newtown residents will always play for free. As a not-for-profit initiative the operators will use donations and proceeds from out of town guests to cover the overhead and the rest will be donated to the Town of Newtown.
"This town is struggling and we really wanted to do something to help. We made some initial phone calls to feel people out and the response was tremendous. Then we knew, we have to give this a shot," says Andrew. "For us this is not a business, it's simply our commitment as parents and residents to promote one of the core values in Newtown -- family."
Once the ball was rolling the duo were busy juggling the logistics. "When we called people on the phone, most strangers, and we explained what we wanted to do, the response was amazing. People just really want to help out. It gives you renewed faith in the goodness of people," explains Scott. "There are the big hurdles, like securing the space and getting some fun games. But we soon found out there was so much more. When we open the doors this month we will owe a huge thank you to so many people."
Local small businesses, national companies, the town officials and many local trades people have gracious lent their goods and services to get Sandy Hook Arcade Center off the ground. There will be games for all ages including driving games, pinball machines, air hockey, XBOX Kinect, and many more. Check out the SHAC at their grand opening later this month.
For more information, visit the SHAC website at www.sandyhookarcadecenter.com or like Sandy Hook Arcade Center on Facebook.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo today dismissed criticism that the quick vote Monday and Tuesday to enact new gun-control measures was done in haste.
Cuomo issued a message of necessity on Monday to bypass the three-day waiting period for a bill to age. The Senate voted on the bill Monday night, soon after it was printed. And the Assembly voted yesterday.
"Anyone who says there's been no discussion of gun control has been living on a different planet for decades. There is nothing in this bill that hasn't been discussed for years and years and years," Cuomo told reporters after a ceremonial bill signing in Rochester. "And in truth, the exact opposite is the fact: How many people have to die before government acts? How many more families have to grieve before government acts?"
Republicans and some good-government groups knocked the lack of transparency about the bill and the inability for the public to review it before it was passed. Cuomo made the argument yesterday that the bill needed fast adoption because of a run on guns that are now limited under the law.
Cuomo touted the bill in Rochester, just as President Obama was unveiling his own gun-control package in Washington. Cuomo said he went to Rochester first after the bill signing yesterday because of the shooting death Christmas Eve of two first responders in nearby Webster, Monroe County.
The law has a "Webster provision," which provides a life sentence without parole for anyone who fatally shoots a first responder.
"The tragedy in Webster, although the pain will never go away and the families are in our prayers, we want people to know we understand what happened in Webster, it informed our discussions and the first responders who put their lives on the line every day should be protected by society," Cuomo said. "And we think this law is going to go a long way to do that."
He said the measures won't affect law-abiding gun owners.
"This is about keeping guns out of the hands of people who are mentally ill and dangerous to themselves or others," he said. "Keeping guns out of the hands of criminals. Increasing penalties for use of illegal guns."

By Sarah Jane Duffy, Boomerang staff writer
I'm in love with a special someone who has terrible table manners and even worse breath. His hair is always falling out and he slobbers when kisses me. Why do I love him so? Because he is very handsome, loyal and affectionate, he is my fierce protector, and he keeps my feet warm at night. During the month of February I'm professing my love to Hunter, my fiancé's dog, whom I have grown to love and appreciate in a surprising number of ways.
Studies have shown that pets can enhance their owner's health and quality of life. Older adults who own pets make fewer visits to their doctors than those without animal companions. Pet and human interaction can lower cholesterol levels, fight depression and may even help protect against heart disease and stroke. Pets help people get into a daily routine, as many pet owners sync their pet's feedings with their own meals. Playing with your pet or walking a dog offers health benefits for both the human and the animal.
Another way pets can enhance our lives is through increased socialization. Having a pet provides a sense of purpose and emotional connection. Many people are drawn to animals and bond with others over the shared experiences of having a pet. People are more likely to talk to someone walking a dog as opposed to a lone walker. A pet can help you meet people and give folks an extra reason to stop by and check on you.
Caring for a pet is a responsibility, and for many, leads to them taking better care of themselves. The choice to own a pet is one that should be considered very carefully. If a pet owner finds caring for the animal to be difficult, having a pet may actually cause more stress than it relieves. Factors to consider include the type, age, size and temperament of the animal, its activity level and the amount and cost of medical care and grooming it will likely need to stay healthy. Another thing to consider is the impact a pet will have on your living space. Pets or their stuff (toys, leashes, etc.) can be tripping hazards. More than 86,000 Americans go to the emergency room each year because of falls involving their pets.
Some adults choose to adopt older pets to bypass the "puppy" stage and generally get an animal that is calmer and easier to train, or is already trained and housebroken. When you adopt a pet, you help the community. Pet overpopulation is a serious problem; feral and stray animals can cause accidents, spread disease and injure pets and other animals. One place to look for pet adoption is your local animal shelter. A shelter's adoption fees typically are a lot lower than prices at a pet store or from a breeder. Most shelters give physical examinations and vaccinations to animals when they arrive, and spay or neuter them before being allowing them to be adopted. More than three million shelter dogs and cats are not adopted and are euthanized each year in the United States. If you or an older loved one is considering adopting a pet, the Pets for the Elderly Foundation may be able to help. Started in Cleveland in 1992, the foundation offers reduced adoption fees at 58 participating shelters in 30 states. For more information, call (440) 347-9710.
Many of us think of our pets as family, and they bring us great joy. They are always there for us and vice versa. A pet offers unconditional love and who doesn't love that? When you weigh the cost and responsibility, lots of folks think a furry family member is well worth the money and effort.

Editors' Review+
by: Seth Rosenblatt on July 17, 2012
The bottom line: Firefox 14 is a worthy expression of Mozilla's ideals. The browser is competitively fast, sports a minimalist look, and includes some excellently executed features. Unfortunately for the 'fox, that describes most of its competition, too.
Please note that the First Look video below is still applicable to Firefox 14, as is this Firefox How To collection, even though it features Firefox 4.
For those of you who spent last year away from the Internet, it's the year that Firefox went from annual major-point updates to a Chrome-style quick-release cycle. How quick? A new major version number along with a spate of performance and feature improvements lands in the Firefox stable version every six weeks. So, Firefox is on version 14 at the time of this review. As a point of comparison, Chrome is currently on version 20 even though it only launched in 2008.
To put it bluntly: Firefox has benefited from the rapid-release cycle. Both fixes and features get out to users faster than before, which puts a safer, sleeker browser in your hands with fewer overall problems. A vocal, minuscule minority has pooh-poohed the increase in version numbers, but that's hardly a legitimate complaint in a world where mobile apps also update silently and effectively.
These major changes first landed in Firefox 4, released in March 2011, so we're going to be referencing it a fair bit. The browser that you can download now is in the same speed category as its competition; offers many similar features (stronger in some areas and slightly weaker in others); includes broad, cross-platform support for hardware acceleration and other "future-Web" tech and standards; and is a must-have for Android users (download for Android).
Firefox 14 makes a series of visual and performance tweaks that many people will notice instantly. There's a new New Tab page that emulates the frequently visited sites New Tab pages that the competition has had for some time. There's a redesigned default Home page at about:home that offers large icons to give you easy access to downloads, bookmarks, history, add-ons, sync, and settings.
On the performance side, Firefox 14 now has Google's SPDY protocol on by default. That means that Web sites that support it, such as Google.com and Twitter.com, will load faster and safer. SPDY is safer because it forces SSL encryption for all connections.
If you're a tab addict, restarting Firefox will now only load the active tab. Other tabs will be visible and accessible, but they won't load their content until you click on them. Hands-down, Mozilla has mastered the art of the 100-tab browser.
It's important to point out that there are four versions of Firefox available at the moment, and this review only addresses the stable branch, intended for general use. Firefox's other channels -- Firefox beta (download for Windows | Mac | Linux); Firefox Aurora, analogous to Google Chrome's dev channel (download Aurora for Windows | Mac | Linux); and the bleeding-edge, updated-nightly Firefox Minefield (download for all versions) -- are respectively progressively less stable versions of the browser, and aimed at developers.
Installing Firefox 14 was a fine, quick experience. Keep in mind that Firefox now has four "channels," so if you've been on the beta channel since the days of version 3.6, you will stay on it until you download the installer for a different channel. There's no in-channel way to switch channels. If you're updating from version 3.6 to version 14, the process is likely to take several minutes because of the significant code changes.
Firefox uses automatic updates, although Windows users will still see the User Account Control box appear on first install only.
Careful Firefox observers will notice that the browser no longer ships with a separate icon for Safe Mode. Simply hold down Shift; when you click on the Firefox icon to open a box, you will be allowed to customize which settings carry over to Safe Mode.
Firefox automatically installs a Windows 7 Taskbar icon if you choose it as your default browser. Uninstalling the browser does not leave behind any icons or folders if you choose to remove your settings at the same time.
A new feature checks your add-ons to see which ones you installed and which ones come from third-party vendors, such as security suite makers. The browser will now ask you if you'd like to disable any of these third-party add-ons. On top of that, all future third-party add-ons will be blocked from autoinstalling. Instead, you'll be presented with the option to allow them or block them on a per-case basis. This puts Firefox squarely on the side of the user.
If you're a big Firefox fan, you'd better hope that you weren't very attached to 2010's version 3.6 look. Falling in love with the new design won't hurt you, either. The main interface is now completely different from what's come before, and in version 14 ditches the larger back button that debuted in version 3 for uniform button size. Not surprisingly, the new design also brings the browser significantly closer to the minimalist style first adopted by Google Chrome in 2008, although it actually looks most similar to Opera 11.
The menu bar has been squished into an orange button on the upper left, with menu options spread across two columns. Nearly all the submenus have been redesigned as well, although the hot keys remain the same, so the learning curve isn't particularly long. In fact, the menu redesign makes it much easier to get to bookmarks, add-ons, and history, as they now all live on one Menu pane. The Menu button is not available to Mac users, to keep with the Mac OS X theme.
In addition to the major changes to the menu, smaller changes have greatly improved usability. For example, there's now a Get Bookmark Add-ons link in the Bookmarks submenu. The History submenu now has Recently Closed Tabs and Recently Closed Windows sections.
Tabs are now on top by default, and while the forward and back navigation buttons haven't moved, the stop and refresh buttons are now attached to the right side of the location bar, next to the bookmark star. When you're typing a URL, the Go button appears at the end of the location bar as an arrow. While resolving a URL, the box changes from the Go arrow to an X for the new Stop button. It might be hard for some to see since the traditional stop-and-go colors of red and green have been removed. You can customize the Firefox skin with the restartless Personas add-ons.
Right of the location bar lives the traditional search box, with its drop-down list of search engines. Above that on the tab bar there is a new button that lists all your open tabs, and you can add a button to access the Panorama tab-grouping feature. If you don't see the button, you can add it by right-clicking on the interface and choosing Customize, then dragging and dropping the Tab Groups icon next to the List All Tabs button. We don't consider many customizations to be essential, but this one is.
The Status bar that lives at the bottom of the interface is now hidden by default, again in keeping with the minimalist philosophy and the competition. There's a new Add-on bar as well, also hidden by default, to which extension icons can be added if you want to keep add-on icons easily available but out of the way of the main interface.
One of Firefox's singular strengths is its capacity for customization, which remains unparalleled and which is accessible even to novice users. While competing browsers do offer add-ons and extensions, Firefox remains far ahead of all of them in interface customization. And so, if you don't like the new interface, it's quite easy to revert it to an older style -- or just about any other look -- using add-ons and themes.
Features and support
Firefox's features are robust and generally competitive. There is some minor functionality missing in a few cases where the browser remains behind the competition, but Firefox is generally one of the most progressive major browsers available, an early adopter if not always an innovator.
One of the most important features in the modern Firefox is Sync. Sync smoothly synchronizes your bookmarks, passwords, preferences, history, and tabs, not only with other computers, but also with your Android version of Firefox.
To use it, click on the Menu button and choose Set Up Sync from the left column. That will take you to a window where you can connect an existing Firefox Sync account or create a new one. Within Firefox Sync, there are two important security points. One is that Firefox encrypts your data before sending it over an encrypted connection to its servers, where it remains encrypted. Mozilla says that the company would not be able to access it even if somebody there wanted to. The second is that you have the option of setting up your own personal sync server. In an age when private data stored by corporations gets hacked and stolen with shocking regularity, setting up a personal sync server is one way to ensure that you bear the responsibility for your own data.
Another big new feature is support for restartless add-ons. These add-ons are written differently from standard Firefox add-ons, and are expected to become the format for add-ons in the future. As such, relatively speaking, not many restartless add-ons exist -- fewer than 1,000, compared with the thousands of "standard" add-ons.
Firefox's add-on manager has been completely overhauled. There's a lot of useful new technology here, as compared with the version 3.6 manager. Not only can you search for add-ons from within the add-on window using the search box in the upper-right corner, you can add them without having to jump to the external Mozilla Add-on Web site, also known as AMO. The manager calls out the AMO add-on collections, which you can create more explicitly in the Get Add-ons tab. Add-on support in Firefox Sync appears to be more consistent than Chrome's add-on syncer.
The add-on manager also allows you to browse Personas. It's slightly annoying that clicking on an add-on group or collection opens the page in a new browser window, whereas clicking on a specific add-on opens that add-on's download page within the add-on manager. That's a very minor criticism, though.
Other changes to the add-on manager include forward and back buttons specific to the manager, in the upper-left corner, and left-side navigation tabs specifically focusing on Extensions, Appearance, and Plug-ins. Meanwhile, two little improvements to the manager will impress keyboard junkies. There's a new hot key for pulling up the add-on manager, Control-Shift-A, or you can type "about:addons" directly into the location bar to access the add-ons manager in a tab. And of course, there's the third-party add-on guard as mentioned above.
More changes include Twitter as an option for Firefox's built-in search box, setting the browser to initially reload only the active tab after a crash, and an update to dragging tabs that makes it easier to identify them with simple animations.
The tab-grouping feature called Panorama presents your tabs as an array of thumbnail images. The thumbnails reside in rectangular boxes that constitute a group. Tabs can be dragged from one group to another, and groups can be named and moved as well. You can add a tab to an existing group or create a new group by right-clicking on the tab and choosing Move to Group. The hot-key combo Control-Shift-E will also jump between the main interface and the Tab Group window.
The overall idea is to make it easier to switch from one tab to another, to group or regroup related tabs, and to get a global view of what's going on with your tabs. It's potentially a big improvement in browser usage, compared with aiming a mouse at an ever-skinnier tab, cycling through a list with Alt-Tab keystrokes, or pecking at a drop-down menu to reach the tabs that overflowed off into the deep. Tabs now load at launch only for the active group.
The Bookmarks and History menus have been redesigned, and now the hot keys open them by default as sidebars. Go through the Menu button to get the full menus. We were actually quite impressed with the layout of the menu button options for Bookmarks and History, finding it much more useful, with quick access to recently closed tabs and new bookmark tags. This is probably the most useful in-browser bookmark manager around, especially if you enable Sync and use it with your Android phone or tablet.
Another relatively new feature is App Tabs, which reduces the width of a tab to its favicon and pins the tab permanently on the left. The tab will glow when updated, a useful indicator for things like Web mail. And when you start typing into the location bar, one of the search choices will be related open tabs so that you can quickly switch to an existing tab.
The short version of all this is that Firefox is on the cutting edge of the next generation of Web standards, and that benefits you immensely by offering faster rendering times of Web sites that can do more.
Another dev tool, unique to Firefox, is a 3D visualizer called Tilt, that lets developers see in real time how their code will render on the site.
There's a decent list of other, smaller changes to Firefox that are worth pointing out because they'll enhance your work flow in one way or another. One of these is Switch to Tab. Open a new tab and start typing the name of an already-open tab, and the URL will appear in the drop-down with Switch to Tab beneath it. Select that one, and the new tab closes and you're whisked to the pre-existing tab. It's a great trick for cutting down on the amount of time it takes to sift through 45 open tabs, and removes the chance of accidentally having the same tab open twice or more.
The location bar -- or as Mozilla calls it, the Awesome Bar -- retains familiar features, such as the options to search your history and bookmarks and to tap your default search engine to provide you with quick results. However, the "feeling lucky" instant jump to what the browser thinks is the Web site you're most likely to be looking for has been disabled because of internal Mozilla concerns about inadvertently sending personal information to the search provider.
The Do Not Track feature indicates via a header notification that you want to opt out of targeted advertisements. However, it requires that the Web site you're viewing, and therefore that site's developers, respect the header itself. While this is great for future-proofing the Web, as implemented at the time of writing, not many Web sites have taken notice of it. That doesn't mean it won't eventually have a big impact, but that time is not now, and it's better to install an add-on like Adblock Plus or Do Not Track Plus to get more complete ad-tracking protection.
There are two smaller yet important changes to the way that Firefox protects you. One is the Content Security Policy, which is designed to block one of the most common types of browser threats, cross-site scripting attacks, by allowing sites to tell the browser which content is legitimate. Though CSP also places the burden on the sites' developers, it's backward-compatible and aimed mostly at well-known sites hosting immense volumes of data and content.
Another security improvement is the implementation of HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS). This prevents your log-in information from being intercepted by telling Firefox to automatically create a secure connection to a site's servers.
The "identity block," the colored left-most section of the URL, has been given a refresh to better call out the Web site you're on, and the URL bar itself now changes the text color of the URL you're on so that the domain is black, for easy identification, while the rest of the URL is gray. This is a small security change, and one that's been previously available to people who are comfortable changing their about:config, but it's definitely a strong visual cue that helps you avoid getting spoofed.
The new feature set alone makes it worth upgrading to the latest version of Firefox. While some older Firefox users may feel that these features add unnecessary bloat to a browser that offers add-ons specifically so that you can customize your browsing experience, Firefox 4 was actually dramatically faster than Firefox 3.6, and there have been significant speed gains ever since. We address the browser's behavior in the section below.
As mentioned earlier, Firefox 14's performance has been greatly improved by the addition of graphics processing unit (GPU) hardware acceleration. It allows the browser to shove certain rendering tasks onto the computer's graphics card, freeing up CPU resources while making page rendering and animations load faster. These tasks include composition support, rendering support, and desktop compositing.
You ought to see the memory improvements in Firefox 14 when the browser is kept open for long periods of time, when multiple tabs are open at once, and when the browser is used concurrently with other programs that also use a lot of memory. The company also noted that its MemShrink initiative was successful in part because of the rapid release cycle that a vocal minority of Firefox users have been criticizing.
Installing Firefox 14 prompts you to opt in to a new anonymous reporting measure called Telemetry. Not unlike security suites, which use your data anonymously to improve threat detection rates, Mozilla plans to crowdsource its performance data to learn more about how the browser performs in real-world situations. Unlike the security suites, Telemetry is opt-in, so Mozilla won't be collecting data without permission. Not surprisingly given Mozilla's reputation for openness, Telemetry is far more open about what it collects and why than similar features from competitors like Apple, Google, and Microsoft. Currently, it looks at four categories: memory usage, CPU core count, cycle collection times, and startup speed. Curious readers can install the About:telemetry add-on to see the personal statistics that Firefox is gathering.
If you've enabled Telemetry and would like to disable it, you can go to Options, Advanced, and uncheck the Submit Performance Data box at the bottom of the General tab.
One interesting publicly available benchmark is JSGameBench from Facebook, which looks to test HTML5 in real-world gaming situations. JSGameBench hasn't posted new results since April 2011, but the ones it did post gave strong marks to the Firefox 4 beta both with and without WebGL. The stable version of Firefox 4 also did well in JSGameBench tests once it was released.
Note that to effectively use hardware acceleration, you must make sure that your graphics card drivers are up-to-date.
In our experience, one of the most positive performance differences between Firefox 3.6 and the current version is that Firefox 14 crashes far, far less. That's due in no small part to improvements made to the plug-in crash protection, which prevents plug-ins like Adobe Flash, Apple QuickTime, and Microsoft Silverlight from dropping the browser dead. If one of them crashes, simply reload the page.
Definitely a worthy heir to the Firefox name, Firefox 14's one major drawback is that, like its competitors, it still uses massive amounts of RAM. Don't expect that to change as the browser is relied upon to perform more and more tasks that once occurred in other programs. However, it will be less of a problem as hardware improves and Mozilla continues to push initiatives like Telemetry and protection from third-party add-ons.
Firefox 14 faces a challenging and ever-advancing field of competition. Some people have probably abandoned Firefox because of the significant speed differences between version 3.6 and Google Chrome. Others might be turned off by Mozilla's open-armed embrace of the rapid-release cycle, and the diminishing importance of version numbers. Frankly, we find that a bit silly, as it's better to get newer features and fixes as soon as they're ready, instead of waiting for a once-yearly update. Competition has forced Mozilla and others to put out better browsers in order to thrive, and we think that Firefox 14 will keep the browser competitive.

Healthcare's Big Data Problem
This article appears in the July 2012 issue of HealthLeaders magazine.
Decision-making in healthcare can be painfully slow, as any physician will tell you, because of complexity. Patient discharge, for example, can involve a coordination of gears that could make a clockmaker sweat, because of all the information that must be processed to coordinate care outside the walls of the hospital. But thanks to a flurry of innovation in real-time processing of data, many healthcare organizations, including physician group practices, are getting better—and quicker—at dealing with data.

Going Mobile: Defining Strategy and Establishing Metrics
Mobile solutions provide new ways to serve patients, improve efficiency, and deliver greater value. Discover how Swedish Medical Center, St. Elizabeth Healthcare, and Mercy Health have built mobile strategies that advance their business goals and how you can too.
They're being spurred on in part because healthcare is beginning to deal with a shift in reimbursement toward one that rewards quality and disincents inefficiency and waste. Refreshingly, most hospitals and health systems have lots of data that can help improve outcomes and cut waste.
The problem is getting that data, which is often unstructured, into a format that allows clinicians to make decisions faster and in a more coordinated fashion. Leaders have long had difficulty with breaking down data silos and finding ways to use fragmented information. They strive to find ways to use leading, instead of trailing, indicators, so that interventions can be made not only in a more timely manner but with more predictive power behind them.
Catching up
Healthcare delivery organizations are 10–15 years behind other industries in managing and capitalizing on the data they own, says Greg Tipsword, healthcare provider practice leader for West Monroe Partners, a Chicago-based healthcare consulting firm. The need to catch up is urgent. Being able to do predictive modeling is critical to risk-based contracting because to reduce waste, labor-intensive interventions need to be used on a distinct group of patients who are most likely to exhibit a complex web of behaviors that, left unchecked, will result in the need for expensive care. The trouble lies in predicting who those patients are before they encounter those complications so that interventions can be made.
Numerous stakeholders need to be involved in defining the type of information required. This depends on the mission of the organization and many other variables, and should begin with the deliberative process, he says.

Translated from the original German article
Ranking: Number 1Beyerdynamic, the German manufacturer, proves with the DT 235 that a headphone, which has been available on the market for many years, can keep the latest developments at bay, with its extraordinary qualities. With this, the beyerdynamic developers were very generous as the sound test shows. No other headphone could exceed the definition, bass response and tuning in this price class. In this price class of ambitious headphones there is no alternative to beyerdynamic. This on-ear headphone from Heilbronn does not need any gadgetry and concentrates only on a superb sound that exceeds this price class, and provides the user with countless hours of enjoyment whether at home or on the go. Therefore, it does not only win this test, but remains an uncontested protagonist regarding the price/performance ratio.
"Best entry-level sealed headphones" "This surprisingly comfortable set will drive out the drone of your next business flight, without the need for finicky or pricey active noise-reduction technology. Great sound at a great price."[...]
[...] "At this price point, these might be my favorite headphones. Great sound, good comfort." "They have made a real beyerdynamic fan out of me." [...]
"Don't let the straight-forward looks fool you, this is one terrific earpad headphone."
"(...) good isolation and impressively well-balanced sound quality. Solid bass with a seamless response across the audio spectrum.

The Berry site is a large Native American town that was occupied from about A.D. 1400-1600. During the mid-16th century, Berry may have been among the largest Native towns in North America.
We have identified the Berry site as the town of Joara,which was visited by the Hernando de Soto expedition in 1540 and by the Juan Pardo expedition from 1567-68. Pardo built a fort at Joara-Fort San Juan-the earliest European settlement in the interior of what is now the United States.
In December 1566, Juan Pardo left the Spanish town of Santa Elena on the South Carolina and traveled into North Carolina in search of an overland route to Mexico. During his march, he built a string of small forts between modern day Beaufort, South Carolina, and what is now western Tennessee. Scholars have debated about the routes of Pardo and de Soto for years, but our research at the Berry site provides evidence that both of these expeditions passed through the upper Catawba Valley of North Carolina.
Spanish soldiers lived at Fort San Juan for 18 months, from January 1567 until about June 1568. During the spring of 1568, relations between the Spaniards and the native peoples of Joara ended tumultously, and the fort was burned and destroyed.

Mark Coleman says LWC's mission "is very exciting to me because it
it meshes
nicely with my personal goals of learning every day and being a
servant leader."
COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Mark Coleman has
been named vice president of administration and finance of Lindsey
Wilson College.
Coleman replaces Roger Drake, who is leaving
Lindsey Wilson to become the 26th president of Central
Methodist (Mo.) University.
"Mark is a bright person who stood out among a deep
and talented pool of applicants," said LWC President William T. Luckey Jr. "He has a passion for
the liberal arts, and he understands how higher education is
evolving and Lindsey Wilson's place in the new
Coleman comes to LWC from Cabarrus
College of Health Sciences, where he was chief financial
officer for the North Carolina school.
At LWC, Coleman will help manage a $58 million
budget that includes more than 385 faculty and staff. LWC enrolled
a record 2,677 students in 2012-13.
Coleman -- who earned a bachelor's degree from Denison (Ohio)
University and an MBA from Duke University -- said he has a passion for
liberal arts colleges.
"My education at Denison University has allowed me
to expand my career path as my interests and skills have evolved,
making me a passionate believer in the value of a liberal arts
education," he said. "Such an education taught me how to think and
adapt while simultaneously broadening my perspective."
Coleman said he was attracted to LWC because of its
mission "to serve the educational needs of students by providing a
living-learning environment within an atmosphere of active caring
and Christian concern."
"The LWC mission is very exciting to me because it

A cinema and philosophy major at Denison, Coleman
has also worked in the film industry and for Wachovia Capital
"My unconventional career path -- from film to
corporate and investment banking to higher education -- illustrates
what makes a liberal arts education so valuable and gratifying," he
said. "At each stage of my diverse career, my liberal arts
experience prepared me to excel in new subjects and skills and to
bring an innovative perspective to each position that was welcomed
and rewarded.

CPK isoenzymes testCreatine phosphokinase - isoenzymes; Creatine kinase - isoenzymes; CK - isoenzymes
The CPK isoenzymes test measures the different forms of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) in the blood. CPK is an enzyme found mainly in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscle.
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed. This may be taken from a vein. The test is called a venipuncture.
If you are in the hospital, this test may be repeated over 2 or 3 days. A significant rise or fall in the total CPK or CPK isoenzymes can help your health care provider diagnosis certain conditions.
How to Prepare for the Test
Usually, no special preparation is necessary.
Tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking. Certain medications can interfere with test results. Drugs that can increase CPK measurements include the following:
- Alcohol
- Amphotericin B
- Certain anesthetics
- Cocaine
- Fibrate drugs
- Statins
- Steroids such as dexamethasone
This list is not all-inclusive.
How the Test Will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel moderate pain, or only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the Test is Performed
This test is done if a CPK test reveals that your total CPK level is elevated. CPK isoenzyme testing can help pinpoint the exact source of the damaged tissue.
CPK is made of three slightly different substances:
- CPK-1 (also called CPK-BB) is found mostly in the brain and lungs
- CPK-2 (also called CPK-MB) is found mostly in the heart
- CPK-3 (also called CPK-MM) is found mostly in skeletal muscle
What Abnormal Results Mean
Higher-than-normal CPK-1 levels:
Because CPK-1 is found mostly in the brain and lungs, injury to either of these areas can increase CPK-1 levels. Increased CPK-1 levels may be due to:
- Brain cancer
- Brain injury (due to injury, stroke, or bleeding in the brain)
- Electroconvulsive therapy
- Pulmonary infarction
- Seizure
Higher-than-normal CPK-2 levels:
CPK-2 levels rise 3 - 6 hours after a heart attack. If there is no further heart muscle damage, the level peaks at 12 - 24 hours and returns to normal 12 - 48 hours after tissue death.
Increased CPK-2 levels may also be due to:
- Electrical injuries
- Heart defibrillation (purposeful shocking of the heart by medical personnel)
- Heart injury (for instance, from a car accident)
- Inflammation of the heart muscle usually due to a virus (myocarditis)
- Open heart surgery
CPK-2 levels do NOT usually rise with chest pain caused by angina, pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lung), or congestive heart failure.
Higher-than-normal CPK-3 levels are usually a sign of muscle injury or muscle stress and may be due to:
- Crush injuries
- Muscle damage due to drugs or being immobile for a long time (rhabdomyolysis)
- Muscular dystrophy
- Myositis (skeletal muscle inflammation)
- Receiving many intramuscular injections
- Recent nerve and muscle function testing (electromyography)
- Recent seizures
- Recent surgery
- Strenuous exercise
Factors that can affect test results include cardiac catheterization, intramuscular injections, recent surgery, and vigorous and prolonged exercise or immobilization.
Isoenzyme testing for specific conditions is about 90% accurate.

Theme-Based Courses
Students take three courses organized around the same theme or problem.
Students choose an interdisciplinary theme to guide their general education program. Each theme includes a range of interconnected courses from across the general education curriculum, and students choose three courses from within their theme to make up their Paideia Cluster. Themes are capacious topics of general interest which adapt themselves well to interdisciplinary inquiry.
The clustered courses enable participating faculty to develop relationships with other faculty, to enrich their understanding of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, and experiment with team-teaching, collaborative teaching, and creative new pedagogies and methodologies. Students similarly benefit from the interdisciplinary focus of the course clusters. Students learn to integrate multiple approaches and perspectives to ask the complex questions that contemporary social and political problems require for their solution.

Just in time for Veterans Day, a Michigan charity transformed the physical appearance of a deserving homeless vet. Two months ago, Degage Ministries, which aims to help veterans who have fallen on hard times after returning from service, gave U.S. Army veteran Jim Wolf a makeover. Wolf has struggled with poverty, alcoholism, and homelessness for decades. Watch as Wolf receives a haircut, a beard trim, and more, as he is literally transformed in this incredible time-lapse video:
Of course, a new haircut and a suit will not fix all of his problems, but as the video points out, Wolf started attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and now has housing. It seems that he is on the right path. The idea for dramatic transformation came from Rob Bliss, who is known for pulling off viral stunts like letting 100,000 paper airplanes loose in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Bliss said of Wolf's makeover, "For me, personally, I've been trying to get more into doing things for a better purpose."

A good point was made today by Jazz play-by-play announcer David Locke, who noted Kobe Bryant has played the equivalent of nearly one regular season against the Jazz.
Including the playoffs, the 10-time All-NBA first-teamer has played 78 careers games against the Jazz. No. 79 tips off tonight at 7 p.m. at EnergySolutions Arena.
"I've had some epic duels against them," the Lakers guard said following Wednesday's shoot around. "When I first came in the league [in 1996] they were getting the better of us pretty much every single time every year. Then things started turning around for us and started being a little more pleasant seeing them."
In 54 regular season games, Bryant has averaged 26 points, 4.2 assists and 4.6 rebounds against the Jazz.
"That's a lot of basketball," Bryant said. "Obviously, I'm pretty familiar with this arena. ... The fans, the city, I've been here many, many times."
Bryant, in his 17th year in the NBA, is 45-33 all-time against the Jazz, and had nice things to say about the franchise's current iteration.
"They have a lot of skill," he said "They have a lot of talent and potential at those [wing] positions. I like [Gordon] Hayward a lot, I'm a big fan of his. And Mo [Williams] and Marvin [Williams] and those guys, I think they're doing a fine job."
Bryant wasn't the only Laker singing the praises of the 1-3 Jazz. Coach Mike Brown said no matter who is playing for the Jazz or who is coaching the team, "they play hard and they play physical."
Dwight Howard, asked about the Jazz's young big men was also complimentary.
On Enes Kanter: "I had a chance to see Kanter in the preseason. I liked him a lot. He's a tough guy, he's very physical, he plays hard and that's all you can ask from a tough player. Once you come in the league and you play hard you'll have a long career."
On Derrick Favors: "I also like Favors, he's another guy from Atlanta. So just to see him get some playing time put in some work, I think is good for him and his confidence. ... He's a little bit younger than I am, I've been watching from afar, I'm happy to see his progress and I'm happy for him."
No Nash • Steve Nash is not with the Lakers as he continues to rehab a left leg injury. Veteran Steve Blake will start in his place.
"Steve Blake is a really good player," Randy Foye said. "He pushes the tempo, he can shoot the 3-ball really well. In this league, when someone goes down it's just an opportunity for someone else. He's proven throughout the years that he's a great point guard."

(NEWSER) – Military personnel working on National Security Agency surveillance programs saw stumbling across explicit photos as one of the "fringe benefits of surveillance positions," Edward Snowden reveals in a wide-ranging interview with the Guardian. They may find, "for example, an intimate nude photo of someone in a sexually compromising situation, but they're extremely attractive," he says. "So what do they do? They turn around in their chair and they show a co-worker. And their co-worker says: 'Oh, hey, that's great. Send that to Bill down the way.' And sooner or later, this person's whole life has been seen by all of these other people. Anything goes, more or less." An NSA spokeswoman asked to comment tells the New York Times that the agency has zero tolerance for such violations of professional standards. More from the interview:
- On life at the NSA: "Many people don't understand that I was actually an analyst and I designated individuals and groups for targeting," Snowden says. "Generally, it's not the people at the working level you need to worry about. It's the senior officials" who are "shielded from oversight," but you also "have a tremendous population of young military enlisted individuals who, while that's not a discredit to them ... may not have had the number of life experiences to have felt the sense of being violated."
- On NSA auditing: "A 29-year-old walked in and out of the NSA with all of their private records. What does that say about [the NSA's] auditing? They didn't even know."

text: I just found out today that my son, who is 14 months old, is allergic to a whole lot of foods. The list includes dairy, soy, peanuts, and eggs. Now I have always made his own food and know the importance of getting enough calcium and good fats and such. My family is not vegan yet, but certainly heading in that direction, and I am actually excited to begin that lifestyle change. If you have started your baby vegan, what kinds of foods do you prepare to ensure proper nutrition? I am just scared that I will leave something out. I want to do the best things for my family and for our health, so any tips, advices, recipes....anything would be so greatly appreciated!

SMH article - When push comes to shove, home births don't deserve to be demonised
This opinion piece is written by Tara Moss(bestselling author and the UNICEF Australia patron of breastfeeding for the Baby Friendly Health Initiative) explores the increasing level of intervention and the demonisation homebirth.
The article quotes:
"More than 30 per cent of mothers now have a caesarean - more than 40 per cent in private hospitals. And caesareans aren't the only procedure on the rise. Obstetricians in NSW have been given strict new guidelines after a record 34 per cent of women having their first baby were induced in 2009 (more than 50 per cent in three hospitals), causing significantly higher numbers of emergency caesareans and other complications. First-time mothers who give birth in hospital here are now more likely to have a medical intervention than not."
Very few women can now enter our hospital system without having intervention in their labour. But worse still is that these women are leaving the system so traumatised that with subsequent pregnancies - they are rejecting all health care (including a homebirth midwife). Free birth is rising as a result.
Melanie Jackson (one of my wonderful midwifery colleagues) is doing her PhD on this very issue. She has written a very eloquent article called Risk is in the Eye of the Beholder and explores this issue at length.
What do you think of the Sydney Morning Herald Article "When push comes to shove, home births don't deserve to be demonised"? What can we do to help women have a positive birth experience given the current climate?
10th February 2012 11:34 PM #2
This makes very interesting reading.
I feel that home birth (or even a natural birth in a birth centre) is often not presented by health professionals as an equal option (to a hospital birth). At the moment, it seems that the onus is more on the woman herself in finding out about the advantages and disadvantages of a home birth and then per-suing this. It is great that we can share positive home birth stories and talk openly about it here so that we are not afraid of considering it. I believe the sharing of our own personal stories is a way that we can change the current climate of fear about home births.
I certainly agree with the conclusion of the article 'Risk is in the Eye of the Beholder'. My experience has been that women are made to feel scared of the risks (or perceived risks) associated with giving birth. This particularly relates to home births. Contrary to the hypnobirthing approach, this means that more interventions are likely to happen as a woman loses faith in her own ability (and her baby's ability) to give birth.
Let's continue to change this fear about giving birth and encourage each other here!

The Push and Shove of Politics
Thanks for posting that article AussieMidwife. As an opinion piece goes, I think it is fantastic. It presents a watertight case for the safety of homebirth for low risk women, which leaves me asking the same questions I have asked when reading similar articles, and the research papers on which they were based - Why?
With a growing body of evidence to the contrary, why is our government almost overwhelmingly against homebirth. What is it that our government gets out of the homebirth witch hunt? What do they get out of laying down roadblocks to ensure that the rate of homebirths remains minuscule in this country? What do they get out of naming and shaming homebirth midwives and admonishing homebirthing mothers? It is possible that it is just a maniacal bid for control, but really, I think there has to be more to it than that.
Maybe I have it all wrong. Maybe the politicians are just reflecting our culture. Are we a culture of doubting occas who reckon if it ain't in a hospital, it ain't on? (It'll help if you imagine Life-Be-In-It's Norm on his couch, with his tinnie, as you read that).
After all, as a people, most of us continue to trail blindly into hospitals to be brutalised by a medical system that, much like the Monty Python scene Tara Moss refers to, considers we birthing women 'unqualified' to make decisions about our bodies and our babies. We have been intimidated and tortured until every woman has become afraid (or most of us at least!).
The only real answer to fear that I know of is knowledge. As advocates for natural birth, right here and right now, we can't change Australian culture overnight but we can endeavour to change it one woman at a time.
- We can keep fighting for the rights of not just the women of today but the women of tomorrow - our daughters.
- We can raise our daughters to believe in their birthing bodies and to carry the torch into the future.
- We can keep talking on forums like this one, and rebuild in woman the faith in their own bodies that centuries of conditioning has beaten out of them.

Here you will find articles discussing Erlang concepts. To get a page listed here include a tag at the top of your page listing it in the Concepts category:
Brief Test Erlang is not just a language. Ericsson open sourced it's software switching infrastructure, somewhat like AT&T Bell Labs open sourcing Plan9. It's different because Ericsson actually produced real products using Erlang. Erlang is based off of Joe Armstrong's thesis - "Making reliable distributed systems in the presence of software errors". The current download contains:
- the src code with targets for WIN32, linux and vxworks
- pre-compiled binaries for win32 and linux
- system libraries with built-in
** easily distributable, configurable ( in-memory or disk ) database system called Mnesia ** native bindings to mysql and postgres ** SNMP V1, V2 and V3 agents, ** a database config that exposes tables as SNMP tables ** 3rd party contrib libs for - jabber, ldap, radius, ldap, nfs
- bindings to C, C++, Java, Tk
- good documentation

GSA Honors Winners of Second Annual Achievement Award for Real Property Innovation
October 6, 1998
Contact: Eleni Martin, (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC - The U.S. General Services Administration's Office of Governmentwide Policy will present the Second Annual Achievement Award for Real Property Innovation at a ceremony on October 21 at 9:30 a.m. in the GSA auditorium at 1800 F Street, NW.
The award was developed to recognize the successes of the Federal real property community, improve communications between real property professionals, and share the best policies and practices implemented by Federal agencies.
The winning entry for the Best Policy category is "Partnering for Land Use" from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The winning entries for the Best Practice category are "The Judiciary's Long Range Facility Planning" from the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, and "Allocating Budget's Based on Benchmarks" from GSA's Public Buildings Service, Rocky Mountain Region.
These winners were selected from among 41 entries submitted by Federal agencies. The response to the Call for Entries is exemplary of the commitment the Federal government is making in the real estate arena. Each year, Federal agencies responsible for the management of Federal real property develop and implement innovative policies and practices that go unrecognized. Committed to the collaborative development and communication of these policies and practices, GSA established this annual award that ultimately benefits the entire Federal community.
A four-member independent panel of real estate and management experts representing a cross-section of private, government and international organizations was established to evaluate the merits of the entries. The judges were Stephen Binder, Vice President, Citicorp and Director of Global Planning; David Boone representing the Building Owners and Management Association and Senior Vice President for Property Management, Boston Properties; Larry P. Ebert, Co-Chair of the International Development Research Council Research Committee and Director, Real Estate Services, Ernst and Young, LLP; and Hank van der Linde, Director General, Property and Facilities Management, Public Works and Government Services, Canada.
Although only the winning entries will receive recognition at the ceremony, each organization submitting an entry played an important part in the overall endeavors to improve Federal asset management. The success stories submitted by the other entrants as well as the winning entries will be shared through the publication of the Real Property Policysite newsletter and will be posted on the Internet at http://policyworks.gov/realproperty .
