Everyone makes mistakes. In a world where almost nothing is certain, you can bet the ranch that mistakes will happen. Making them is as normal as breathing. Warren Buffett makes them; so do Tiger Woods, bus drivers, airline pilots and neurosurgeons—anyone who is alive, was alive or will be alive. No one can escape. We are all doomed to err.
I've missed my freeway exit, slept past my stop on the train, left the back door unlocked, run out of gas and made my share of investing mistakes. Each one was embarrassing, some costly, and all of them were uncomfortable, some excruciatingly so. But more than anything else, mistakes laid the pathway of my own growth—and I'm not alone.
Chess and Surgery
Elizabeth Spiegel may be to chess what John Wooden, Red Auerbach and Phil Jackson combined were to basketball. But where Wooden, Auerbach and Jackson achieved their greatness with some of the best basketball talent of all time, Spiegel created her chess juggernaut at a regular run-of-the mill intermediate school in Brooklyn—with a student population drawn from the surrounding lower income, working-class neighborhood.
In local, regional and national tournaments there may be better individual players than those from I.S. 318, but in aggregate—as a team—no school anywhere in the country can come close to matching their regular success at every grade. Year in, year out their level of excellence is so consistent that, if they don't win a tournament, they are always in the running.
What is her secret? Of course there is the part that can't be replicated—her unique combination of toughness and respect for her students. But at the end of the day it is her simple, passionate and consistent focus on mistakes. She forces her students to see where they are weak—to look at their errors, evaluate why they are happening and correct them. It is this persistent insistence that they focus on those very things they'd sooner forget that has made I.S. 318 the best chess school in the country bar none—and given her students tools for success that will serve them the rest of their lives.
"I try to teach my students that losing is something you do, not something you are," says Spiegel (quoted in Paul Tough's book How Children Succeed).
Five years ago at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston a patient awoke in the recovery room and asked her surgeon why there were bandages on the wrong side of her body. This kind of outcome is everyone's worst nightmare—and as medical mistakes are now by some estimates the third largest cause of death after heart disease and cancer, it is a nightmare that is happening far too frequently.
As recounted in Kathryn Schultz's book Being Wrong, the surgeon and the officers of Beth Israel reacted to this situation in a way that can only be termed extraordinary (and unfortunately uncommon): The surgeon explained what happened, how the mistake was made, then apologized sincerely to the patient and promised a path to correct the error (which was done). Within days the hospital sent out an email to all 5,000 employees informing them of what happened. The hospital also issued a press release taking full responsibility and doubling down on existing efforts to reduce medical errors.
Hospital officials even started publishing medical error records online in an effort to be completely transparent. As painful and embarrassing as it was to admit fallibility, they knew that the only way to achieve excellence and reduce errors was to be brutally and publically honest about their screw ups.
Science and Money
We mess up so often it isn't hard to imagine that mistakes are part of our DNA. This is not just a metaphor. Darwin's incredible insight of natural selection is the result of genetic mutations. Mistakes in the inheritance of the genetic structure from one generation to the next are what create variation in a species, and it is that variation that allows a species to adapt and survive. We would not even be here to have this discussion if not for a unique series of naturally occurring mistakes.
But there's more: The entire Scientific Revolution was purposely built on a foundation of error. The basis for every scientific insight is a hypothesis—and every hypothesis must be constructed in such a way that at some point in the future it can be proven wrong. All the growth in our scientific knowledge has been based on the failure of one theory after another. As Kathryn Schultz writes, "Errors do not lead us away from the truth. Instead they edge us incrementally toward it."
The investment world has benefitted mightily from the insight that being consistently average can lead to a very satisfactory, even outstanding, result. Despite the fact that almost every participant in the stock market is making some kind of mistake in judgment, in expectation, in measurement and observation, the aggregate result of all their mistakes translates into a better outcome than that of most of the individual participants—which is why indexing has become so popular.
Whether or not indexing will survive its own success is another story; my point here is that indexing's massive success is built on mistakes—millions of them.
Mistakes are the elemental stuff from which is built the foundation of survival and success—whether individual or collective, existential or intellectual. The few examples noted above represent an infinitesimal fraction of the unlimited things we can achieve when we harness the lessons of our mistakes.
Unfortunately, in the investment world the pressure to appear successful all the time is so intense that the very behavior we know will lead to real and lasting success is perversely considered to be a mark of weakness and failure. Within this context, funds that experience disappointing or below par results do their best to finesse or ignore their mistakes—leading to opaque shareholder reports that excel in filling pages with words that have little to no meaning or value. With nothing of any substance being offered to them, investors in these funds are forced into the unenviable position of buy-and-hope with all too predictable results.
But there are fund managers who understand that acknowledging their mistakes and discussing them openly is a sign of strength and intelligence; this enhances their ability to become better investors. Shareholders benefit because when they know that their investment managers are committed to honest and transparent communication; this builds trust, confidence and loyalty. Finding perfection is impossible and only blind luck will lead you to hire a manager who is on the cusp of truly outstanding performance. But if you know what you're looking for, it isn't too hard to identify excellent managers who are unafraid to let you know they are actually human.
Wall Street firms have spared no effort or expense to gain advantage using insights drawn from the physical sciences—and in those areas individual investors are at a distinct disadvantage. However those same firms are caught in a web of conflicting incentives that make it next to impossible to exploit the kinds of insights I've discussed above, leaving the individual investor free to access the benefits without limit. Our mistakes are rough diamonds lying at our feet—all we need to do is pick them up and take a moment to appreciate what they could become with a little effort.

About one in eight women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.
Approximately 85% of those diagnoses occur in women with no family history of breast cancer. The cancer is caused by genetic mutations as a result of the aging process, which makes mammogram screenings imperative to catching cancer early.
The question is, at what age should you start getting screened? And how often do you need to be checked? There have been conflicting recommendations in recent years over when women should start mammogram screenings, here are a few of the varying recommendations from trusted organizations.
The American Cancer Society recommends screening every year between the ages of 45-54, then every two years from age 55, as long as you're in good health.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommends screening every year beginning at age 40, for as long as you're in good health.
The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force has a more liberal recommendation of every two years from the ages of 50-74.
The American Colleges of Radiology and Gynecology recommends women with average risk of breast cancer risk undergo a baseline mammogram and an annual exam starting at age 40.
All organizations recommend earlier screenings (some as soon as age 30), for women who are considered to have an increased risk for breast cancer. This includes a family history of breast cancer, an abnormal BRCA I or II gene, or received radiation therapy for Hodgkin's lymphoma. Women with a sister or mother diagnosed with premenopausal breast cancer should begin screening 10 years prior to their relative's age of diagnosis.
Mammography has helped reduce the breast cancer death rate in the U.S. by 30 percent. There are currently no test to replace mammography.

#1438: Make qOrbiter Play Media-----------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: golgoj4 | Owner: golgoj4 Type: feature_request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 1004Component: qOrbiter | Version: 1004 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: |-----------------------------+----------------------Comment (by golgoj4): No, and stop asking. Tickets are not for annoying people to bug me. Tickets are for actual contributors. So stop wasting dev time making me think you were going to contribute anything usefull. Seriously. -tha management
Hi guys,Thanks for the feedback so far. Sorry again for following the wrong course of action. I've been on golgoj4's side of this a few times in the past so know where he and you guys are coming from. I just didn't know the protocol - nor did I make my intent clear from my ticket comment which is my fault.Something we did on an issue tracker that we'd opened up to non technical users was to link to "commenting guidelines" around the comment area of the ticket, and also include a confirmation popup when users outside of a certain user group comment. The former is an easy fix, the latter was thought of as overkill but helped greatly ;-)Anywho - to the task at hand.Going Android native whilst easier would likely leave some edge cases untouched and also demand the need for wrappers for each platforms native media frameworks. Qt Mobility definitely seems the way to go, especially since it's multimedia API is compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac - just gotta back sure the right backends are available. I've got to admit, I've not touched Qt since I plated around with Symbian development quite some time ago!I still don't understand why qOrbiter needs to be able to playback media - above and beyond previews - but I now seem to remember you saying that qOrbiter was destined to replace the Orbiter code on the MD's - which could answer that question for me. (My memory is terrible!)Hoping to get qOrbiter up and running on some actual devices this weekend for testing!
you sir, are awesome! I will be taking a look at this more in depth when i return from Day 1 of work (woohoo, work! )-golgoj4
Also, because I like to make people's lives hard, I have some quick questions if you dont mind. *How do you view the path of cross compiling qt (necessitas) vs flushing out the JavaDCE?*Do you envision a method the two apps could talk to each other. Is there some type of interface i would need to provide on the Qt side?The main thrust of the questions is I like to have a big picture view of things in my head. With desktop variants, i have a fairly defined idea of the involved parts. Android is still something thats in flux from that perspective and im just wondering if its time to start learning some java on my end.Thanks for all your hard work on this and qOrbiter, its really appreciated.-golgoj4

Here's a couple tips when using scripts on different (often shared) hosts, where ini_set doesn't work and php directives in .htaccess causes a 500 Internal Server Error.
Firstly, copy the server's php.ini file to your domain's web-root folder. To find the correct paths, use phpinfo() and look for "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" and "DOCUMENT_ROOT"
It's unlikely you'll have access to the php.ini via FTP, so instead run a script with a simple copy command (obviously inserting your paths):
exec("cp /usr/local/php/etc/php.ini /home/LinuxPackage/public_html/php.ini);
Edit the now-accessible php.ini file, and add settings like 'magic_quotes_gpc = off' at the bottom (regardless of whether they've been set earlier in the file). I also set:
max_execution_time = 60
max_input_time = 90
memory_limit = 64M
post_max_size = 32M
upload_max_filesize = 31M
magic_quotes_gpc = Off
Finally add the below line to your web-root htaccess file, to make the local php.ini the web-root default (so you don't need a copy in every script sub-folder):
SetEnv PHPRC /home/LinuxPackage/public_html/php.ini
Hope that helps a few people save some time!
P.S. Using the new php_ini_loaded_file() function the whole lot could be done in three lines:
exec("cp " . php_ini_loaded_file() . " " . $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/php.ini");
fwrite(fopen("{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/php.ini", 'a'), PHP_EOL . '[PHP]' . PHP_EOL . "magic_quotes_gpc = Off" . PHP_EOL);
fwrite(fopen("{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/.htaccess", 'a'), PHP_EOL . "SetEnv PHPRC {$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/php.ini" . PHP_EOL);

- Write your questions ahead of time, so you don't forget them.
- Write down the answers you get, and make sure you understand what you are hearing. Ask for clarification, if necessary.
- Don't be afraid to ask your questions or ask where you can find more information about what you are discussing. You have a right to know.
- What type of glaucoma do I have?
- Did something cause my condition? And if so, what?
- How will my vision be affected now and in the future?
- Based on my medical history, lifestyle, and family background, am I at risk for glaucoma?
- How often should I get a comprehensive eye examination to screen for glaucoma and other eye diseases?
- Who else in my family is at increased risk of having glaucoma? How often should they get a comprehensive eye exam?
- What treatments are used with glaucoma?
- Which treatment options are appropriate for me? Why?
- How long will my treatment last?
- What risks and side effects are associated with my treatment?
- What is likely to happen without treatment?
What medication options are available to me?
- What are the benefits/side effects of these medications?
- Will these medications interact with other medications, over-the-counter products, or dietary or herbal supplements that I am already taking?
- Are there any complementary or alternative therapies available to me?
- Can you recommend any glaucoma support groups?
- What are the chances my treatment will be effective?
- How will I know that my treatment has been effective?
- What can I tell my spouse, children, parents, and other family members and friends about my condition?
- What is my expected prognosis?
- How often will I need checkups?

A rich and vibrant magenta
Ingredients: Silk Mica (Mica (77019), Boron Nitride, L-Lysine Mica (Mica 77019 and Lauroyl Lysine), Caranuba Mica (Mica 77019 and Caranuba Wax), Magnesium Stearate, Magnesium Myristate, Zinc Stearate ((+/- Mica (Mica 77019), Fractionated Coconut Oil (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891) Vitamin E (Tocopherol), Allantoin, Chromium Hydroxide Green (CI77289), Chromium Green (CI77288), Carmine, Iron Oxide (CI 77499, 77491, 77492), Tin Oxide (CI 778161), Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Ferric Ferrocyanide (CI 77510), Ultramarines (77007), Silica, *Synthetic Flurophylogopite, Zinc (CI 77947), Bronze and Copper Powder (CI 77400), Nylon 12, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Potassium Sorbate, Hexylene Glycol))
***Silk Mica is natural and is similar to sericite mica but its silkier, whiter and offers a soft, smooth texture that is mattifying.
WHY WE USE IT: we use this version of Mica because it is silkier and softer then regular sericite mica. This helps to make our shadows feel more luxurious. The price for this powder is about double what regular sericite mica is because of how silky smooth it applies - we think it is worth it!
***Boron Nitride is a soft, silky white mineral powder that adds slip and adhesion to a product. It is soft and adds supreme creaminess to the powder. Boron Nitride is a natural, inert mineral.
***Caranuba Wax Mica this is a Sericite Mica that has been surface treated with Carnauba Wax, the wax coating helps bind the particles so the formulas have less fly away when pressed. This also imparts great skin feel with amazingly smooth and light finish.
***Titianium Dioxide is a natural mineral used to whiten and makes a product more opaque.
***Magnesium Stearate is a chemical compound of Magnesium (element, same as in vitamins) and Stearate (plant derived).
***Magnesium Myristate is the combination of Magnesium (a mineral) and Myristate a fatty acid (naturally occurring). Magnesium Myristate will add adhesion, slip, soft feel and helps to repel water.
***Zinc Stearate made from natural and essential raw material. If you choose to press your powders having this in the base helps your powders press more easily
***Fractionated Coconut Oil (we use this to bind our Powders) - fraction of coconut oil comprised mainly of Capric and Caprylic Acid thus giving it more of an antioxidant and disinfecting effect. Has a long shelf life, stability and rancidity resistant.
***Colored Micas add color, shimmer and shine to the product.
***Nylon12 is a powder we use to help with the slip in some of our deeper more pigmented shades.
***Oxides are natural minerals and add color to the product, also helps with making the product opaque.
***Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Potassium Sorbate, Hexylene Glycol - Preservative we use to preserve our eyeshadows and make them last longer. This is used at about .2% of the total weight
We offer a 7 day 100% money-back guarantee.

Data Beyond Row Size limit
SQL Server will allow a max row size of 8060 bytes. But, If i am having a table with column "Description" as Varchar(max). Since, Max keyword allows 2 GB of data. How my table row will react to store the data?
The data will be stored as off-row values. It's stored upto a limit of 8060 bytes and this LOB will act as a root node with two child pointers,
1. One pointing to the data stored in 8060 bytes.
2. Other pointing to the location where the remaining datas are stored.
Happy Learning!!!

SQL Server Interview questions - Part 1
Null means no entry has been made. It implies that the value is either unknown or undefined.We should avoid permitting null values because Column with NULL values can't have PRIMARY KEY constraints. Certain calculations can be inaccurate if NULL columns are involved.
What is SQL whats its uses and its component ?
The Structured Query Language (SQL) is foundation for all relational database systems. Most of the large-scale databases use the SQL to define all user and administrator interactions. It enable us to retrieve the data from based on our exact requirement. We will be given a flexibility to store the data in our own format.
The DML component of SQL comprises four basic statements:
* SELECT to get rows from tables
* UPDATE to update the rows of tables
* DELETE to remove rows from tables
* INSERT to add new rows to tables
What is DTS in SQL Server ?
Data Transformation Services is used to transfer the data from one source to our required destination. Considering am having some data in sql server and I need to transfer the data to Excel destination. Its highly possible with dialogue based tool called Data Transformation services. More customization can be achieved using SSIS. A specialized tool used to do such migration works.
What is the difference between SQL and Pl/Sql ?
Straight forward. SQL is a single statement to finish up our work.Considering, I need some data from a particular table. "Select * from table" will fetch the necessary information. Where as I need to do some row by row processing. In that case, we need to go for Procedural Logic / SQL.
What is the significance of NULL value and why should we avoid permitting null values?
Null means no entry has been made. It implies that the value is either unknown or undefined.We should avoid permitting null values because Column with NULL values can't have PRIMARY KEY constraints. Certain calculations can be inaccurate if NULL columns are involved.
Difference between primary key and Unique key?
Both constraints will share a common property called uniqueness. The data in the column should be unique. The basic difference is,
· Primary key won't allow null value. Whereas, unique key will accept null value but only one null value.
· On creating primary key, it will automatically format the data inturn creates clustered index on the table. Whereas, this characteristics is not associated with unique key.
· Only one primary key can be created for the table. Any number of Unique key can be created for the table.
SQL Server Interview Question - Part 2
What is normalization?
Normalization is the basic concept used in designing a database. Its nothing but, an advise given to the database to have minimal repetition of data, highly structured, highly secured, easy to retrieve. In high level definition, the Process of organizing data into tables is referred to as normalization.
What is a stored procedure:
Stored procedures are precompiled T-SQL statements combined to perform a single task of several tasks. Its basically like a Macro so when you invoke the Stored procedure, you actually run a set of statements. As, its precompiled statement, execution of Stored procedure is compatatively high when compared to an ordinary T-SQL statement.
What is the difference between UNION ALL Statement and UNION ?
The main difference between UNION ALL statement and UNION is UNION All statement is much faster than UNION,the reason behind this is that because UNION ALL statement does not look for duplicate rows, but on the other hand UNION statement does look for duplicate rows, whether or not they exist.
Example for Stored Procedure?
They are three kinds of stored procedures,1.System stored procedure – Start with sp_2. User defined stored procedure – SP created by the user.3. Extended stored procedure – SP used to invoke a process in the external systems.Example for system stored proceduresp_helpdb - Database and its propertiessp_who2 – Gives details about the current user connected to your system. sp_renamedb – Enable you to rename your database
What is a trigger?
Triggers are precompiled statements similar to Stored Procedure. It will automatically invoke for a particular operation. Triggers are basically used to implement business rules.
What is a view?
If we have several tables in a db and we want to view only specific columns from specific tables we can go for views. It would also suffice the needs of security some times allowing specfic users to see only specific columns based on the permission that we can configure on the view. Views also reduce the effort that is required for writing queries to access specific columns every time.
What is an Index?
When queries are run against a db, an index on that db basically helps in the way the data is sorted to process the query for faster and data retrievals are much faster when we have an index.
What are the types of indexes available with SQL Server?
There are basically two types of indexes that we use with the SQL ServerClustered -
1. It will format the entire table, inturn physically sort the table.
2. Only one clustered index can be created for a table.
3. Data will be located in the leaf level.
4. By default, primary key will create clustered index on the table.
Non-Clustered Index
1. It wont touch the structure of the table.
2. It forms an index table as reference to the exact data.
3. A reference to the data will be located in the leaf level.
4. For a table, we can create 249 non clustered index.
Happy Learning!!!

SQL Interview question
Extent Vs Page?
Pages are low level unit to store the exact data in sql server. Basically, the data will be stored in the mdf, ldf, ndf files. Inturn, pages are logical units available in sql server.The size of the page is 8KB.
Eight consecutive pages will form an extent 8 * 8KB = 64KB.
Thus I/O level operation will be happening at pages level.The pages will hold a template information at the start of each page (header of the page).
They are,
1. page number,
2. page type,
3. the amount of free space on the page,
4. the allocation unit ID of the object that owns the page.
Extents will be classifed into two types,
1. Uniform extents
2. Mixed extents
Uniform Extents:It occupied or used by a single object. Inturn, a single object will hold the entire 8 pages.Mixed
Extents:Mulitple objects will use the same extent. SQL Server will allow a max of eight objects to use a shared extent.
Property of SQL Server :Initally if an object is created, sql server will allocate the object to the mixed extent and once if the size reaches 8 pages and more... immediately, a new uniform extent will be provided for that particular object.
Herecomes, our fragmentation and reindexing concepts.

In fact, after 12 years together, I want to give Jeff something memorable, something unique. So, I was thinking a potato. Not any potato. (What kind of wife do you think I am?) A jacket potato, as they call it in England, or as we Yanks call it, a stuffed potato. Now, before you consider me the most un-romantic person you've ever met, read on.
Our honeymoon had an inauspicious start. Our scheduled non-stop flight from Boston to London was cancelled due to thunderstorms, and consequently our luggage was "misplaced" (the Brits' genteel word for "lost"). In part due to a choppy ride and part due to just-married-bliss, we did not sleep on the flight over and landed in London late and red-eyed.
When we arrived, we discovered that our inn was just as we anticipated: a Victorian brownstone on a tree lined, thoroughly British street. There was even a consummate Brit, heels clicking on the pavement, with his walking stick swinging in one hand and the Sunday Times in the other.
The woman at the inn greeted us warmly then asked for our name. After Jeff told her, she looked at him, then at me, then back at him and back to me. She said, "Uncanny how much you two look alike. Are you brother and sister?"
Brother and sister?! We weren't even married for 24 hours and someone thought we were siblings! When she realized her error, she was terribly embarrassed, and tried (unsuccessfully) to backtrack, with things like, "Well, that's a terrible image to have on your honeymoon." Sometimes silence is the best antidote.
When Jeff and I were alone later, I asked him if he thought there could be anything worse than on your first day as a married couple being told you look like brother and sister. He said, "Yeah. Being told you look like father and daughter." True.
Despite an unfavorable start, our honeymoon was grand. London in June is spectacular—the weather is glorious, the arts are thriving, and the food… well let me say this about the food. This was 1995 (pre-Jamie Oliver), and as a finicky vegetarian, whose palate was much less developed than it is now, I ate a lot of scones and jacket potatoes.
Jacket potatoes are traditional British fare: baked potatoes with a "jacket" on top. The jacket can be any number of edible toppings like simple beans and cheese or fancier prawns. While Jeff enjoyed the full range of British fare, I became well-acquainted with jacket potatoes. After two weeks of them, I was put-off potatoes for some time.
We were just reminiscing about this the other day, and as one word led to another, I decided to make a jacket potato (my first one in 12 years). I came up with two versions: olives, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, and feta and another with a creamy artichoke, rosemary, and parmesan sauce. They were really quite good, but I don't recommend eating them 14 days straight.
I used Idaho potatoes (a type of russet potato) because they are high in starch and low in moisture, which is preferable for baked potatoes. For more on potatoes, check out the British Potato Council where you can learn everything there is to know about buying, preparing, and eating 'em.
I am submitting this post to the delightful Jeanne of Cook Sister! who is hosting this month's WTSIM stuffed fruit or vegetable. Though the Mediterranean jacket potato is my official "stuffed" entry, I'll consider the creamy artichoke potato recipe a bonus.
By the way, the "modern" gift for 12th anniversaries is pearls. I think I'll stick with potatoes since pearls really aren't Jeff's taste.
Mediterranean Jacket Potatoes
Makes 4 servings.
Print recipe only here.
4 (10-12 ounce) Idaho potatoes, scrubbed
½ cup mixed cured olives, such as Kalamata and Cerignola, sliced
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced (dry-packed or oil-soaked)
1 Tbsp each of fresh rosemary, thyme, parsley, and oregano
1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil
A few shakes of crushed red pepper
Pinch of salt
6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
2 Tbsp pine nuts, toasted
Preheat the oven to 400. Scrub the potatoes under cold water and pat dry. Using a paring knife, pierce the potatoes all over, about a dozen times. Place on a baking sheet. Bake for 60-90 minutes or until tender. You can test it by inserting a knife. When cooked, make about a 3-4-inch long cut lengthwise along the top of each potato. Squeeze the two ends toward the middle to open up the potato, and be careful of the steam that escapes!
For the "jacket," in a small bowl, toss together the olives, sun-dried tomatoes, herbs, olive oil, crushed red pepper, and salt. Note: If you're using dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes, then allow them to rest in warm water for 5 minutes before slicing.
To toast the pinenuts, place in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute or until golden brown. Shake the pan handle gently to ensure even toasting. Remove from heat.
Once potatoes are cooked, simply top each one with ¼ of the olive mixture. Sprinkle with feta cheese and toasted pine nuts before serving.
Jacket Potatoes with a Rosemary-Artichoke Cream Sauce
Makes 4 servings.
Print recipe only here.
4 (10-12 ounce) Idaho potatoes, scrubbed
4-5 baby artichokes, outer leaves removed, quartered or ½ of a (14-oz) can of artichoke hearts
1 Tbsp butter
1 cup milk
1 Tbsp flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1-2 Tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat the oven to 400. Scrub the potatoes under cold water and pat dry. Using a paring knife, pierce the potatoes all over, about a dozen times. Place on a baking sheet. Bake for 60-90 minutes or until tender. You can test it by inserting a knife. When cooked, make about a 3-4-inch long cut lengthwise along the top of each potato. Squeeze the two ends toward the middle to open up the potato, and be careful of the steam that escapes!
If you're using fresh baby artichokes, then drop the cleaned, quartered artichokes in boiling water for 3 minutes and drain. For canned artichokes, do not boil.
In a small skillet over medium heat, melt butter, then add the boiled or canned artichokes, stirring occasionally, about 2-3 minutes. Add milk and flour, and stir until sauce thickens and begins to bubble, 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat; cool partially. Pour sauce into a blender; blend until smooth and creamy. Return to skillet over low heat. Add the grated Parmesan, rosemary, and salt and pepper; heat through another 3-5 minutes.
Once potatoes are cooked, simply top each one with ¼ of the sauce. Sprinkle with additional chopped rosemary and grated cheese if desired.

Here's Why:
High sodium intake can increase the risk of having high blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for heart attack or stroke. Some people may be more sensitive to salt than others, but most Americans are still getting much more sodium in their diets then they need. There is evidence that if adults eat less sodium, their blood pressure decreases.
Since it is difficult to know who among us will benefit most from less salt, most organizations recommend that we all limit our salt intake. According to the US Department of Agriculture, adults should limit their salt intake to no more than 2,300 mg per day. And those with high blood pressure, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease, as well as African Americans and adults 51 years or older should limit their sodium intake to less than 1,500 mg a day.
A major study in this area is DASH, the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. This study found that a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products, and low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and saturated fat helped lower blood pressure. This is now known as the DASH diet. The second phase of the study found further reductions in blood pressure when the DASH diet was combined with a sodium intake of no more than 2,300 mg per day.
Here's How:
Sodium is found in many foods. Some are obvious, but others may surprise you.
Major Food Sources
Table salt, also known as sodium chloride, is the major source of dietary sodium. About 1/3 to 1/2 of the sodium we consume is added during cooking or at the table.
Fast foods and commercially processed foods, such as canned, frozen, and instant, also add a significant amount of sodium to the typical American diet. These include:
- Beef broth
- Ketchup
- Commercial soups
- French fries
- Gravies
- Olives
- Pickles
- Potato chips
- Salted snack foods
- Sandwich meats
- Sauces
- Sauerkraut
- Tomato-based products
Sodium occurs naturally in:
- Eggs
- Fish
- Meats
- Milk products
- Poultry
- Shellfish
- Soft water
Reading Food Labels
All food products contain a Nutrition Facts label, which states a food's sodium content. The following terms are also used on food packaging:
Tips For Lowering Your Sodium Intake
Follow these tips to help lower your sodium intake:
- Read the nutrition label to find out how much sodium is in the foods you are purchasing.
- Gradually cut down on the amount of salt you use. Your taste buds will adjust to less salt.
- Do not add salt from the salt shaker at the table. Or add much less than before. Taste your food before you salt it; it may not need more salt.
- Substitute flavorful ingredients for salt in cooking, such as garlic, oregano, onion, lemon or lime juice, or other herbs, spices, and seasonings.
- Opt for fresh foods instead of processed foods. For example, select fresh or plain frozen vegetables and meats instead of those canned with salt.
- Look for low sodium, reduced sodium, or no salt added versions of foods you eat every day.
- Cook and eat at home. Adjust your recipes to gradually cut down on the amount of salt you use. If some of the ingredients already contain salt, such as canned soup, canned vegetables, or cheese, you do not need to add more salt.
- Cook rice, pasta, and hot cereals without salt.
- When dining out, order a low-salt meal or ask the chef not to add salt to your meal.
- Limit your use of condiments such as soy sauce, dill pickles, salad dressings, and packaged sauces.
Making dietary changes takes time, so go slowly and allow your taste buds to adjust.

text: Monday, March 04, 2013 OPM Final Rule Clarifies That Multi-State Plans Must Offer EHBs On Friday, the US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) published a final rule establishing standards for the Multi-State Plan Program (MSPP) to promote competition in the new health insurance marketplace, also known as the "exchanges," and ensure that consumers have more high-quality, affordable insurance choices. Under the MSPP, OPM will enter into contracts with private health insurance issuers to provide at least 2 Multi-State Plans (MSPs) in each state's exchange. MSPs will be established in at least 31 exchanges this year, with coverage to be extended to the exchanges/marketplaces in every state and the District of Columbia by 2017. At least 1 of these issuers must be a nonprofit entity. All state and federal laws that apply to Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) also will apply to MSPs. Important to physical therapists is the rule's clarification that MSPs must offer essential health benefits (EHBs), and MSPP issuers must comply with state standards relating to substitution of state benchmark benefits or standard benefit designs. As reported in News Now on February 21, a final rule on EHBs gives states authority to impose more stringent requirements on EHBs substitution than the federal regulation, meaning that states can prohibit substitution within EHB categories altogether. Additionally, MSPP plan issuers are directed to follow state definitions of habilitative services and devices where they exist. If a state has not defined the benefits, OPM will determine them during negotiations with the MSPP issuer. To ensure network adequacy (adequate number of provider and facility types), the rule adopts an approach in which the MSPP will establish a uniform standard for network adequacy using time and distance standards similar to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' standards for Medicare Advantage plans and Medicare Part D. The final rule also: Reflects OPM's commitment to collaborate with states to ensure that the MSPs are competitively neutral in the marketplaces. Sets standards related to how OPM will coordinate with states and HHS to approve rates, standards for rating, medical loss ratios, and an MSPP issuer's participation in reinsurance, risk adjustment, and risk corridor programs. Establishes how OPM will monitor contract performance for the MSPP, including ensuring quality assurance, preventing fraud and abuse, and possible contract compliance actions. Creates a process and standards for handling appeals for enrollees that are denied claims for payment or service. The initial open enrollment period for MSPs, as with QHPs, begins October 1 for coverage beginning January 1, 2014. Individuals and small businesses wishing to enroll in MSPs will then be able to enroll through the marketplace in their state. However, an MSP may not be available in every state until 2017.

Upcoming programmer company Codenvy with offices in San Francisco and, more interestingly… Luxembourg and the Ukraine, has described its development offering as a means of making cloud development faster and more reliable.
"Developers use cloud IDEs to eliminate administrative headaches and gain flexibility. We saw an opportunity to improve our own offerings. It took a new user 100 seconds to run a CloudFoundry HelloWorld with Codenvy. This was fast compared to the two hours required with Eclipse," said the firm.
But even 100 seconds is too long, says the company, as projects should be instant. Asking developers to create an account, login, setup a project, and configure a workspace adds unnecessary overhead.
The company has launched Codenvy Factory to enable instant, shared development without requiring authentication, project creation, or configuration.
NOTE: Codenvy Factory enables developers to create temporary IDE workspaces with full code, build, test, deploy, and collaboration functionality.
In terms of use, a Factory is a URL that can be shared, placed on a website, or embedded in a GitHub page. Clicking a Factory creates a new, temporary workspace, preconfigured with the project encoded into the URL. The temporary workspace is fully functional and can be used to code, build, test, deploy, and collaborate. Work is saved within the temporary workspace, but if a user is idle or closes the browser, their work will be lost.
NOTE: Work performed in a temporary workspace can be copied to an account. Plus, it is possible for anonymous users to create accounts from within the temporary workspace.
According to the company's recent programmer blog and news channel, "Users who are authenticated with Codenvy can also use Factories. You will still be placed into a temporary workspace, but we'll identify you as a returning Codenvy user and make it simple to move the temporary workspace projects into your permanent workspace. It's easy to create a Factory of your own. Within Codenvy, you can create custom Factories, create an animated button to visually represent the Factory, and post directly to social media."
They continue, "Codenvy Factories can also be created automatically without logging into Codenvy. We have published a URL specification that allows 3rd parties to create Codenvy Factory references that will launch validated and functional workspaces automatically.
Factories can work with both public and private Codenvy projects. They also can work with public and private git repositories. We can perform a key or oAuth exchange with the git host to ensure proper access controls are maintained."
In the future, Codenvy will be providing Factory policies, parameterized Factories, and Analytics-style reporting on Factory behavior — this offers Factory publishers measurement and control over their Factories.

Peripheral vascular ultrasound is a test used to evaluate the health of blood vessels. Ultrasound uses sound waves to capture images of structures inside the body.
Reasons for Test
The test may be used to investigate the cause of:
- Pain
- Swelling
- Increased warmth or coolness in the extremity
- Difficulty finding pulses
- Bulging veins
It may also be used to diagnose the cause or severity of:
- Poor circulation due to blocked or narrowed blood vessels
- Blood clots
- Poor blood vessel function
The procedure is also used to evaluate the results of vascular surgery.
What to Expect
Prior to Test
No special preparation is needed for this test.
Description of Test
Gel will be placed on the skin of your arm or leg over the area being tested.
There are 2 types of ultrasound:
One is a simple 1-dimensional beam that detects movement by making a swishing sound. A hand-held device is pushed against your skin in the area being tested. Sound waves are sent into the body and bounce back to the machine. This is used to detect blood flow in arteries that may be narrowed. It may also be used to check for blood flow in veins that the doctor is concerned about.
The other technique makes a 2-dimensional image. The ultrasound machine has a hand-held instrument called a transducer, which looks like a microphone or wand. The transducer is pushed against your skin where the gel was applied. The transducer sends sound waves into your body. The waves bounce off structures in the body and echo back to the transducer. The echoes are converted to images that are shown on a screen. The doctor examines the images on the screen. Photograph of them mat be taken as well.
After the Test
You will be able to leave after the test is done.
How Long Will It Take?
30-60 minutes
Will It Hurt?

Galileo plunged into Jupiter's crushing atmosphere on Sept. 21, 2003. The spacecraft
was deliberately destroyed to protect one of its own discoveries - a possible ocean beneath the
icy crust of the moon Europa.
Galileo changed the way we look at our solar system. The spacecraft was the first to fly past
an asteroid and the first to discover a moon of an asteroid. It provided the only direct
observations of a comet colliding with a planet.
Galileo was the first to measure Jupiter's atmosphere with a descent probe and the first to
conduct long-term observations of the Jovian system from orbit. It found evidence of subsurface
saltwater on Europa, Ganymede and Callisto and revealed the intensity of volcanic activity on
Read on to learn more about the historic legacy of the Galileo mission.

Fallopian tubes are tubes that lead from the ovaries to the uterus. A tubal ligation is a sterilization procedure to close the tubes.
Reasons for Procedure
Tubal ligation is done to prevent pregnancy. If you have this surgery, you will still ovulate and menstruate. The cut or blocked tubes keep the egg and sperm separated. When the egg and sperm cannot meet, fertilization does not happen and pregnancy cannot occur.
This surgery is not recommended as a temporary or reversible procedure. Make sure you and your partner consider all birth control options.
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Potential problems include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Adverse reactions to anesthesia
- Damage to other organs
- Ectopic pregnancy
Some factors that may increase the risk of problems include:
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
A pregnancy test will be done.
Leading up to your procedure:
- You may need to stop taking some medications up to 1 week before the procedure.
- The night before, eat a light meal. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
You may receive 1 of the following:
- General anesthesia —blocks pain and keeps you asleep through the surgery
- Spinal anesthesia —numbs the area from the chest down to the legs; given as an injection in the back
Description of the Procedure
A small cut will be made in the area of the navel. A harmless gas will then be inserted through this cut and into your abdomen. The gas will inflate the abdominal cavity. This will make it easier to view the internal organs. A long, thin instrument called a laparoscope will be inserted. It will contain a small camera and lighting system, which will let the doctor see inside the abdomen. A second cut may be made just above the pubic hair to insert an instrument for grasping the fallopian tubes. The tubes will be closed in 1 of the following ways:
- Sealing by creating scar tissue (cauterization)
- Applying plastic bands or clips
The instruments will then be removed and the openings will be closed with stitches.
In some cases, the doctor may switch to an open surgery. This involves making a larger incision.
Immediately After Procedure
You will be brought into the recovery room. You will rest there until the anesthesia wears off. You may receive pain medication.
How Long Will It Take?
20-30 minutes
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will keep you comfortable and pain free during the procedure. You may feel bloated and have pain in your shoulder or chest because of the air inserted into your abdomen. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Post-procedure Care
You can usually go home the same day. You may need to stay longer if you have complications.
Follow your doctor's instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery.
Follow your doctor's instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery.
Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor if any of the following occur:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the incision sites
- Severe and continuous abdominal pain
- Nausea and vomiting lasting more than a day
- Pain and or swelling in one or both legs
- Heavy vaginal bleeding after the first day
- Missed menstrual period
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical help right away.

Observations Section
You are here
This is the top right panel of the PIT, when "Observations" is selected from the "Observations / Band 3 / Targets" options shown below the panel. A video tutorial is also available for this section.
Observations Tab Overview
Add an observation: To add an observation click on one of the four icons at the bottom left of this panel. Each icon represents, from left to right, weather constraints (or conditions, cloud icon), instrument configuration (or resource, filter wheel icon), target information (sun icon), and observation time (clock icon). Clicking any one of the buttons will create an entire observation tree if it does not yet exist. For instance, if you click on "Target" icon and enter a target, then the other items (Configuration, Conditions, Observation) will also show up. Double-click on each node to enter the required information.
Group by: To re-organize your observations, drag the Conditions, Resources, Targets labels at the top of the panel to the left or right. The options can be put in any order, but the default ordering of Conditions:Resources:Resourdes is recommended.
Conditions (cloud icon): Select the observing conditions necessary for your science: cloud cover, image quality, sky brightness, and water vapor.
Resource (filter wheel icon): You can select the instrument, observing mode, grating, slits, filters, etc. here. The wizard will lead you through a "decision" tree of modes and their options.
Target (sun icon): This will bring up a new Edit Target window where you can enter a new target manually or query SIMBAD, NED, or Horizons. Target information entered here will automatically show up under the Targets tab.
Observation Time (clock icon): Specify the length of time to be spent on observing the target in the box labeled "Program Time". Overheads should be included as described on the instrument pages, including time for acquisitions, detector readout, offsetting, etc., and any calibrations that are not part of the baseline calibration set. Starting in 2017B the time required for baseline calibrations are shown in the "Night Basecal Time" box and is added to the "Total Time" that needs to be requested (see below). The calculation details are given here. The baseline calibrations are described on the instrument pages but mostly include standard/telluric stars and required flats and darks: GMOS calibrations, near-infrared calibrations and mid-infrared calibrations. Following Gemini Board resolution 2016B.A.2 the time needed for baseline calibrations will be included in the program allocation but this time is charged to the partner, not to the program. The Night Basecal Time is based on global averages so program-specific adjustment should be avoided and so that the total program time will be correct in the Observing Tool if the program is allocated time.
Delete (red cross): This will delete the selected node.
Lookup: If you know the target name, then you can type it in the "Lookup:" box at the bottom of the panel. The software will first check whether this target is already in the targets list, and will use that, if it is present. If the target is not in the target list, then it will look up its coordinates and brightness from one of the three catalogs (SIMBAD, NED or HORIZONS, selected from the Menu bar).
If you have multiple targets, you can also read in a target list in one of the acceptable formats by selecting "Import targets..." from the File menu.
You may also copy/paste targets from the Targets tab. An efficient way to make observations of lots of targets that have similar conditions and resource needs is to add the conditions, and resoruces, load a list of targets using the Target tab, or "Import targets...", then copy/paste the targets onto the Resources node. The observation times then can be entered manually or duplicated with copy/paste.
Guiding: This column will show a red/yellow/green (bad/marginal/good) stoplight icon, and percentage for the likelihood of finding a suitable UCAC4 guide star or guide star asterism (GeMS/GSAOI) given the weather conditions and the specified instrument configuration. Details of the parameters used are given here. Only guide stars for the default wavefront sensor for the instrument/mode are evaluated. The geometries of all the wavefront sensors are included in the algorithms. For wavefront sensors with symmetrical fields (e.g. PWFS1 and PWFS2), the percentage indicates whether a guide star is available or not. For instruments with asymmetrical wavefront sensor fields-of-view (e.g. GMOS, FLAMINGOS-2, GeMS/GSAOI), the algorithm checks for guide stars over a complete range of position angles (PAs). The percentage shown is the percentage of positions tested that have suitable guide stars. If the success probability is less than 50% and a specific PA is required then the Observing Tool (OT) can be used to check whether a guide star is available at that PA. If the indicator is red, then please change the weather conditions or the target, so that guiding is feasible. In some cases, a small change in position may also bring a guide star into the wavefront sensor field. This can be checked with the OT. If the likelihood is low but a guide star is available then please add a brief note in the technical justification.
Vis: This column will show a red/yellow/green (bad/marginal/good) stoplight icon indicating the visibility of the target in the given semester. This is the result of a comparison between the coordinates of the target and the RA/Dec limits for the semester and observing mode. If red, please consider proposing the target for a different semester or a different site (Gemini North vs. Gemini South).
GOA: This column will show a red/yellow/green (yes/some/no) stoplight icon indicating any duplication of data in the Gemini Observatory Archive. If duplication is indicated, highlight the observation, then click on the Gemini "G" icon at the lower right of the panel to view a list of the data found in the Archive in your web browser.
Manipulating Observations
Once an observation is created there are a variety of ways of editing and manipulating the nodes.
Undo/Redo: Undo/redo options are available for all changes and actions to the observation nodes. If something unexpected happens or you make a mistake, just undo!
Highlighting nodes: Click on a node to highlight it. Command/Alt-click on a node to deselect it. Whether or not a node is selected determines the behavior of other features. If a node is selected and you click one of the "add node" buttons from the bottom of the panel, the placement of the new node depends on the current organizational hierarchy. If the node to be added is lower in the current display hierarchy, then the new node is added below the selected node. If the node to be added is at the same level or higher in the hierarchy, then a new observation "tree" is created. For example, with the default Conditions/Resources/Targets hierarchy, selecting a resource/configuration node and then adding a new target will put the target under that resource node. If no nodes are selected, then adding a node will create a new observation "tree".
Drag/Drop: A node and all sub-nodes can be drag/dropped into another place in the hierarchy. The node must be dropped into a node that is higher in the current hierarchy. While dragging, the locations where you may drop your selection are highlighted in grey as you mouse over them.
Copy/Paste: A node, and all sub-nodes, may be also be copy/pasted. This is done with key commends Cntl/Commend-c and Cntl/Command-v or by selecting options from the Edit menu. Copy/Paste works similarly to drag/drop, and nodes may only be pasted where they can be dropped. However, copy/paste also works between the Targets, Observations, and Band 3 tabs. For example, you can copy an entire observation in the Observations tab, switch to the Band 3 tab (if Consider for Band 3 is Yes), paste the observation, and then edit the observing conditions. You may also select multiple targets from the Targets tab and paste all of them into the appropriate place in the Observations or Band 3 tabs.

Neighborhood Efficiency, Energy Salvation
A version of this article appears in the March/April 2011 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
March 01, 2011
During his 14-year career with the Salvation Army, Captain Ethan Frizzell has followed the Army's traditional leadership-development path, moving routinely up the ladder from leadership positions that serve relatively small populations to those serving increasingly larger populations. Since June 2008, he has been in charge of the Greater New Orleans Area Command, which covers six Louisiana parishes. In addition to those duties, Frizzell also inherited responsibility for implementing the final stages of the Salvation Army's post-Katrina Gulf Coast recovery program, a $150 million effort, with $70 million targeted for the city of New Orleans alone, and more than half of that budgeted for home repair and rebuilding.

Episodes of the Cuban Revolutionary War, 1956-58
Pathfinder, 1996 - 483 pages
A first hand account of the military campaigns and political events that culminated in the January 1959 popular insurrection that overthrew the U.S.-backed dictatorship in Cuba. With clarity and humor, Guevara describes his own political education. He explains how the struggle transformed the men and women of the Rebel Army and July 26 Movement led by Fidel Castro. And how these combatants forged a political leadership capable of guiding millions of workers and peasants to open the socialist revolution in the Americas. Guevara's Episodes appears here complete for the first time in English.

No running today or most likely this week as I have a bad case of influenza. I can barely get out of bed and even thinking of running makes my chest hurt.
Take it easy man and get healthy. Your muscles are really thanking you right now. You will bounce back in no time. I missed several days running, but no flu to blame it on...
I'm sorry Jeff. I wonder if it was the climate change. Take the week off and you'll feel better and ready to go next week.
Been there buddy. Hang in there!
Best wishes in getting over your sickness soon! Did you get a flu shot this year?

There are many times you want to export iMovie to AVI file with high quality. You can directly export iMovie to AVI using iMovie expert export mode, but the exported AVI files are usually very large and in low quality, and have playback problem on Windows devices like Windows devices like Windows Media Player, Windows PowerPoint Presation, Xbox media centre machine and Windows Movie Maker etc. What's worse, you sometime even cannot export to .avi successfully if the iMovie project is a little larger. In this case, you need a Mac Video Converter to convert iMovie to AVI. This article will show you these two easy solutions:
Method 1. Directly Export iMovie project to AVI using iMovie '08/'09/'11/HD
Actually, exporting iMovie project to an AVI file could be as easy as ABC with iMovie share dialog (for iMovie '08/'09/'11, go to Share > Export using QuickTime; while for iMovie HD, go to File > Export > Quicktime > select "Expert Settings" from the popup option > click Share). From this iMovie share dialog, you are able to choose the file format you want to export to from the Export pop-up menu (Choose "Movie to AVI" rather than the default option "Movie to QuickTime Movie"). Click "Save" and you will get an .avi file from iMovie.
Note: You can customize your movie settings by click on the "Options" button.
Method 2. Convert iMovie to AVI (Rawvideo/DivX/XviD) using iMovie to AVI Converter
If the first method is not working on your Mac, or the exported avi files have playback problem, or you want to export iMovie to other video format with high quality, this iMovie to AVI Converter Mac could be a better choice for you to convert iMovie to AVI format, as well as any other popular video formats like MP4, M2TS (AVCHD, H.264), FLV, MOV etc. With this Mac Video Converter (Mac OS X Lion included), you will never worry about video format problem when importing AVI to iMovie or exporting iMovie to AVI videos.
