BEHIND THE HEADLINES French Synagogue Gutted By Fire PARIS (JTA) — A brand new synagogue crowded with Purim worshipers was gutted by a violent fire in the town of Yerres, about 40 miles southwest,of Paris. There were no casualties. Police have not yet been able to determine whether the fire was accidental or criminal. Special Soviet Resettlement Campaign Will Be Test Of Jewish Philanthropy Greeks Begin Hearing Testimony Against Alois Brunner ATHENS (JTA) — The office of the district attorney in Salonika began hearing testimony last week against Nazi war criminal Alois Brunner. Brunner is believed to be living in Syria since 1950, although Syria has repeatedly denied this" and refused West German requests for Brunner's extradition. The hearings in Salonika will also be attended by the district attorney of Frankfurt, Walter Griebel. TheWest German authorities initiated the investigations taking place in Salonika, in hopes of gaining enough evidence to present Syria with a tough request for Brunner's extradition. The Jewish community here has urged Greek authorities to demand Brunner's extradition. Hitler Worshippers Surface In Holland AMSTERDAM (JTA) — A previously unknown group calling itself the Netherlands Graves Foundation has distributed pamphlets calling for a pilgrimage to sites frequented by Adolf Hitler and his deputy, Rudolf Hess, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Hitler's birth, April 20. The pamphlets call for visits to certain places in Austria and Bavaria, including Braunau, where Hitler was born; Linz, where he grow up; and Wunsiedeln, where Hess is buried. The group said it would also organize a pilgrimage to the Dutch village of Blaricumj alleged site of the remains of Anton Mussert, the Dutch Nazi leader. Investigators into the obscure Nazi- worshiping group have concluded that the main person behind it is Jbop Glimmerveen. Some 20 years ago, Glim- merveen headed the "Netherlands Volks," a fascist group that campaigned against the presence of foreigners Holland. He has not been heard of for many years. in By Andrew Siiow Carroll NEW YORK (JTA) - As any successful fund-raiser knows, Jews give best when it comes from their, "kish- kes," or guts rather than from their heads. A recent example is the emotional outpouring that marked the 1984 Operation Moses drive, when Jews contributed $60 million on behalf of Israel-bound Ethiopian Jews. Bu a different mood marks the beginning of the United Jewish Appeal's $75 million "Passage to Freedom" campaign on behalf of Soviet- Jewish emigrants. According to UJA leaders who discussed the new campaign at a news conference here last week, the driving force behind the campaign is cool pragmatism rather than philanthropic zeal. .The reason Ues in the.un- '-: precedented riature7ofv tihe' Soviet Jewish qxodus. The "Passage to Freedom" campaign is designed to relieve the financial burden on Jew- , ish agencies helping to resettle an influx of Soviet Jews . that could reach 40,000 this ■ year. . Fund-raising missions are being planned, speakers are being booked and April has been designated as "Passage to Freedom" month. Communities will be asked to conduct fund-raising phone-a-thons during the intermediate days of Passover. The efforts are aimed at tapping compassion for Soviet Jews, which reached a high point in December 1987, when 200,000 American Jews descended on Washington to rally for their Soviet brethren's freedom. UJA leaders speak emo- ' tionally of the historic responsibility of settling the new immigrants and the Over 300 Muslims, And Jews Attend Conference At Great Southern Hotel Over 300 Muslims and Jews from across Ohio met Sunday, March 19, at the Great Southern Hotel in Columbus to participate in a one-day conference titled "Muslims and Jews: A Common Past; A Hopeful Future." The conference, jointly sponsored by the Islamic Foundation of Central Ohio (IFCO) and Congregation Tifereth Israel, was an extension of a program, ongoing since 1985, of dialogue between the two institutions Dr. Norman Hosansky, Dr. Mazhar Jalil, Dr. Marilyn Waldman, Dr. Harold Himmelfarb (top photo, 1. to r.) participated in the Muslim-Jewish Conference held on Sunday, March 19, at the Great Southern Hotel. and was the first time that the general community had the opportunity to participate. Dr. Norman Hosansky, the project director, noted that for most, of those who attended the conference, it was the first time they had sat and talked with members of the other community. "It is our hope," he said, "that this conference, will be the beginning of better understanding and improved relations between the Jews and Muslims of Columbus and Ohio." Participants at the conference put aside their differences to dwell on, the similarities between the two groups as they explored common themes in religious text, ways in which Muslims and Mews have positively interacted in history. and similar problems that each religious group faces as minorities in American society. Six scholars in Jewish and Muslims studies provided insights into these areas of commonality. The Abraham-Ishmael- Isaac story, crucial to understanding the similarities and (CONTINUED ON PACE 7) uncertainty of the Soviet Union's relaxed emigration policies.' But an irony tempers their enthusiasm: The Soviet Jewry movement was based on Zionism and its beneficiaries usually leave the Soviet Union with Israeli visas. Yet some 90 percent of recent emigrants have chosen to live in the United States rather than Israel. Israelis are frustrated by the phenomenon, they call "dropping out," and some blame the Americans for enticing Soviets with a host of social services.

A real life "Jazz Singer," he is equally at home whether singing Israeli songs, Yiddish favorites or contemporary selections from the Broadway stage. While attending Syracuse University, he sang with the Syracuse Symphony- Opera Company and made numerous appearances as both a popular and classical singer throughout New York State. He moved to New York City to pursue graduate studies at the Cantor's Institute of The Jewish Theological Seminary.

"I think it is fair to say that the overwhelming consensus of American Jewish organizations would wish that all Soviet Jews would go to the State of Israel," UJA President Stanley Horowitz said. "However, what is an appropriate response — once the determination is made— to those who will not go to Israel?" he asked. "The American Jewish community is dedicated to the idea of responding to fellow Jews." Horowitz said he has been telling Israeli leaders that the purpose of the special campaign is to prevent a repeat of 1980 and 1981, the years immediately following the exodus of some 59,000 Jews from the Soviet Union. "The UJA lost a great deal of money in 1980-81, as federations used for local needs money that might have gone to the UJA. We're helping Israel to avoid that problem," said Horowitz. The UJA raises its money in partnership with the local federations, who ultimately decide how much of the year's campaign will go to the UJA and how much to local needs. The "Passage to Freedom" campaign is being conducted above and beyond the $720 million-plus the. UJA and the federations raise jointly each year. Ambivalence is expressed in other ways as well. Approximately 80 percent of the emigrants are settling in seven communities: Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and the North Shore communities of Massachusetts. At a recent meeting here representatives of 35 of the 42 largest Jewish federations, some expressed concern that their communities are having to carry the burden of what have come to be known as the "affected seven." "There is some concern, but I think it will work itself out through discussions at the committee level," said Marvin Lender, the New Haveni Conn., investor vftio chairs the special campaign. The mechanism for working out details is a "monitoring committee coordinated by the Council of Jewish Federations. The committee has representation from all of the agencies affected by the Soviet emigration. They include the federations, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, UJA and its major (CONTINUED ON PAGE 16)

Diamond Xtreme External 7.1 USB Sound Card Review
While many of the hardware enthusiast community enjoy storing their ultimate power inside of a self-contained, powerhouse of a computer, those who wish to have similar features and functionality in smaller PCs or laptops really only have the option of running external peripherals. This need by many different individuals opens up the market for external devices, mainly peripherals such as audio hardware. For audiophiles who want the best of sound quality along with portability, an external USB sound card is a great option. It will allow a user to run their precious listening gear at home on their desktop, then to the HTPC, and the out on the laptop. Sure, a 7.1 output may seem excessive for a laptop, but what about playing movies and music with crisp digital surround sound through just about any run-of-the-mill home theater system? For that need, a manufacturer by the name of Diamond has its Xtreme External 7.1 USB sound card. Recently reviewed, Diamond also has a neat USB to HDMI Adapter to accomplish a similar task, but with video as well! The ability to make high quality components in smaller and smaller packages makes this possible, and I am excited to see how this little box compares to my limited onboard sound. Let's get started.
Closer Look:
The packaging for the Diamond Xtreme External 7.1 USB sound card is made from cardboard that has a high quality finish along with attractive graphics. The front of the box features a photograph of the device, with a laptop, a flat screen TV, and two large floor speakers. A badge in the top right corner states that it is compatible with both Mac and PC, continuing to cater to as many folks as possible. Underneath the main picture is a list of benefits that this card has to offer, from dramatically improving sound quality to the Dolby Digital certified S/PDIF output. The rear of the box lists the functions of each port on the device and what each can connect to. For example, a home theater system could connect through the S/PDIF connection, and simple 2.1 headphones through the 3.5mm jack next to the USB port.
Included in the box is the external sound card unit itself, along with two user guides — one English and one French. Also included in a USB cable and a driver installation disk for Windows XP, Vista, and 7. It is not immediately obvious what Mac users would do for their drivers, however before looking inside the manual I have a pretty good feeling that it can be found on Diamond's website.
All in all, the Diamond Xtreme External 7.1 USB sound card is a simple box with some buttons and some holes in it, but it's what is inside of this box that will make or break the product. Fortunately, we have already seen several good reviews here at OCC with Diamond's name on them! Let's see if this name continues to hold up this time.

In Skeptic magazine [Vol. 13 No. 4 2008] there's some great pieces that include criticisms and insight into some of Däniken's work and views. Tim Callahan's essay, A New Mythology, touches very briefly on Däniken and the "gods" of ancient myth were actually extraterrestrials…", but it is more of a tour de force of skepticism into "consider(ing) the [grand New Age] myth as a whole and try to understand what need it fills in its adherence."
But, for the purpose of this discussion I wanted to offer this section by Daniel.
One very serious criticism of the idea that many ancient monuments required alien builders is that this a often seems to be based on racism. For example, it's common for von Däniken's books to describe skilled workers of ancient art and architecture and then say things like, "with the best will in the world one cannot imagine savages making them."
Is he saying that all ancient humans were "savages" who were too primitive to build their own monuments? Actually, he seems to make an exception for the people of Europe. One anthropology textbook calculated that 96 percent of von Däniken's examples "are from places other than Europe." The textbook author wrote that von Däniken is apparently "utterly astounded by the archaeological records of ancient Africa, Asia, and North America. He is so astounded, in fact, that he thinks that only through the assistance of men from outer space could those black, brown, yellow and red people have produced the prehistoric works that archaeologists find on these continents."
Why does von Däniken mostly ignore ancient European accomplishments such as Stonehenge or the temples of the Greeks? Skeptic James Randi thought he knew the answer: "because these wonders are European. built by people he expects to have the intelligence and ability to do such work." Randi blamed this double standard on von Däniken's "personal prejudices," saying von Däniken "cannot conceive of our brown and black brothers having the wit to conceive or the skill to build the great structures they did leave behind."—[Daniel Loxton]
Piques my interest now to read them again, because I think Randi's exaggerating. I thought Daniken did write about Stonehenge, using it because he could get away with making an alien visitation story out of it. It's origins are mysterious, and the greco-roman remains haven't had any popular mystery left to them after the Renaissance. Besides the henges, are there any European relics from antiquity impressive enough to help Daniken make such a case? All the "wow" finds locate someplace else. Googling Daniken offers him some defense, from Chariots of the Gods, "Let us not forget that we too were semi-savages 8,000 years ago." Daniken wasn't an archaeologist or academic, just a storyteller, and didn't see the warning that circulated throughout academia—the official notice declaring the term "savage" as racist de facto.

Is Pretending Your Domain Name Has Been Seized By ICE The New Rickroll?
from the meme-me dept
Both of these later stories involved bewildered ICE spokespeople trying to figure out why the press was calling them and insisting that no such domains had been seized at all.
But all of this makes me wonder if "my site's been seized by ICE" is becoming a meme, a la the rickroll, in which sites looking for attention suddenly pretend that they were seized by ICE. At best, this seems to suggest that, for all of ICE's insistence that this program has been a massive success in "informing" the public, an awful lot of people associate the ICE seizures with being a total joke, ripe for mocking. It certainly seems to detract from the message that ICE is trying to send. Separately, this does make me wonder if one of these pranks is going to get someone in trouble at some point. It's pretty silly, but the federal government gets all upset when you use their various logos and seals without permission...

The Lipscomb Lady Bisons split the first day of the Panther Invitational in Atlanta, losing 4-0 to Appalachian State and beating tournament host Georgia State 4-0.
Lady Bisons coach Kristin Ryman was more concerned about how her team was performing in pregame workouts than in the actual games.
"We talked a lot about our approach," Ryman said. "We talk a lot about controlling the things we can control.
"One of those areas is our pregame. We have to mentally and physically get ourselves ready and into game mode. We have to do a better job of getting ourselves ready to play."
Ryman liked what she saw from her players in the Georgia State shutout.
"Hitting-wise we picked it up a notch," Ryman said. "We started being a little more aggressive at the plate. We were taking more aggressive cuts."
Ryman is dealing with a young team overall and that is influencing what she says to the players.
"We didn't want to be too down after the first game," Ryman said. "Not taking anything away from Appalachian State in the first game but I didn't think we were ourselves.
"As a coach it is hard to look past that. We have a young team that is experiencing new things every time out. We just kind of challenged them a little bit about how they approached the Georgia State game."
After the Lady Bisons managed only one hit against Appalachian State Ryman spent the time between games addressing the situation. Whatever was said was effective. The Lady Bisons pounded out eight hits in the win over Georgia State.
"We didn't have a lot of strikeouts which was good," Ryman said. "However, we didn't necessarily have quality at bats either against Appalachian State.
"We never could get much going. We would hit it on the nose and go right at somebody or they would make a good play."
The Lady Bisons are scheduled to play Memphis at 9 a.m. Sunday. The second game will be determined based on seeding.
Whitney Kiihnl struck out a season-high 12 batters in a 4-0 shutout of host Georgia State Saturday.
Kiihnl gave up three hits, walked three and hit three batters.
"Whitney gave us a chance to score runs and hold off the other team," Ryman said. "That is what we need out of her."
The Lady Bisons scored two runs in the second inning. Vanessa Medina singled and was replaced with Lacy Walker as a pinch-runner. Kristen Sturdivant slammed a home run over the left field wall, her first as a college player. Walker scored on the home run giving Sturdivant her first multiple-RBI game of the season.
"We tweaked our lineup," Ryman said. "We had been trying to find a way to work Kristen Sturdivant into the lineup and see what she could do."
In the fifth the Lady Bisons struck for two more runs. Courtney Billington led off the inning with a double to left center. Breanna Thurman singled to score Billington.
Mollie Mitchell flied out. With one out Rena' Cothron singled to right field. Thurman advanced to third and then scored as the right fielder also committed a fielding error.
Billington led the Lady Bisons with three hits.
"Courtney had a really good day," Ryman said. "Bree Thurman had an RBI-single. Courtney and Caroline Mason both hit doubles. It was almost a complete turnaround from the first game."
The Lady Bisons are 2-5. Georgia State is 4-3.
Freshman Lady Bisons' pitcher J.J. Nelson threw her first complete game on the collegiate level, a 4-0 loss to Appalachian State in the opening game of the Panther Invitational Saturday morning.
Nelson, 0-2, allowed five hits and only one earned run. She struck out two, walked one and hit one batter.
Appalachian State scored one run in the first and three runs in the sixth.
"J.J. threw well," Ryman said. "In the sixth Appalachian State put together a few things.
"J.J. is getting better and better. When she gets deep into a game and has been throwing well she has to find a way to finish. That is one thing we have been working on with her."
Hannah Dow held the Lady Bisons to only one hit, a double by catcher Haley Elliott with one out in the seventh inning.

Abstruse Goose is great for maths and physics jokes.
I first heard this on an episode of the Big Bang Theory, I don't know the origin.
The physicist asks the mathematician: "Why did the chicken cross the road?"
The mathematician ponders a while and then replies: "I have a solution, but it only works for a spherical chicken in a vacuum."
An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders a beer, the second one orders half a beer, the third one a quarter of beer and so on. After a while of this happening, the bartender says "Come on guys! So many people and not even a couple of beers??".
Q: What did the threefold blown up at two points say while waiting in a long line for a restroom?
A: I have to pee too.
Ugh, why aren't these posted yet:
Q: What's purple and commutes? A: An Abelian grape.
Q: What's sour, yellow, and equivalent to the axiom of choice? A: Zorn's lemon.
Test to tell the difference between a Physicist or a Mathematician
Consider the following scenario: A room with a sink at the far end with a working cold water faucet plus a table with the following items on top – small bucket, ring stand, Bunsen burner, and a pack of matches. The problem is to boil water.
If the individual picks up the bucket from the table, walks to the sink and fills the bucket from the faucet, brings it back to the table, sets it on the ring stand, puts the Bunsen burner under the stand, and then lights the burner and waits for the water to boil … this establishes the base line but does not separate which it the Physicist and which is the Mathematician.
Test scenario 2: The bucket is now sitting on the floor under the table and the problem is again to boil water.
If the individual picks up the bucket from under the table, walks directly to the sink and fills the bucket from the faucet, brings it back to the table, sets it on the ring stand, puts the Bunsen burner under the stand, and then lights the burner and waits for the water to boil … this proves that this individual is the Physicist.
However, if the individual picks up the bucket from under the table and places it back on top of the table thus reducing the current problem to a form that they have previously solved … this proves that this individual is the Mathematician.
Q: Why was 3 afraid of 5?
A: Because "5 8 13."
(Works better when you actually say it out loud...)
a pure and applied mathematician were sitting in a bar, when they spotted a hot chick 2 meters away. However, this was a weird place where they could take one 1 meter step and each consecutive would have to be half of the length of the previous one.
The pure mathematician was sad because he knew he could never get to the girl. The applied one was happy because he knew that for all practical purposes he can get close enough.
Quite a few mathematics / academic jokes here.
For actual humour, rather than simply bad puns, I recommend the books:
As well as the odd bad pun, they also contain many anecdotes demonstrating that scientists (and mathematicians) are also human. A few that have stuck in my memory: just about every "mathematics of big game hunting" method, the various "proof by ...", a (genuine!) article co-authored by a cat, and a disturbing article on refereemanship.
Fesenko's math joke collection, selected from the Cherkaev collection.
Posterior Analysis: when a statistician looks at the rear end of a member of the appropriate sex.
In a math party, all were having a good time. y was the dj, everybody was Riemmanly drunk. Then, when the x saw e^x on a corner crying, he asked: - Hey e^x, why don't you integrate ? - Because I keep always the same!!!
Check out the book 777 Mathematical Conversation Starters by John de Pillis. The subject of the book is mathematics topics to talk about, but it is also full of interesting quotes, jokes, and cartoons.
If we can formalize the property of "being a good math joke" good enough to construct a Turing Machine that checks it, then I think we can conclude they don't exist.
The reason is that in that case we can construct a Turing Machine (say of length N) that checks each possible string, and stops only if a good math joke was found. The busy beaver function on N establishes an upper bound for the number of strings the machine needs to check until we can conclude that it wouldn't halt (and therefore no good math jokes exist).
Based on empirical evidence, it may be possible that all those cases have already been checked (with negative answer), which implies my thesis.
(I'm being ironical, I like much of the jokes posted in here :P)
A mathematician in a job interview was asked, "We need to see what kind of attitude you have toward problem solving. So tell us, is the glass half empty or half full."
His reply, "It's 1-x."
-William Mauritzen
Q: What's purple and commutes? A: An abelian grape!
After a 1-dimensional collapse, what did the 1-simplex show that new chick from logistics?
As it would be impossible to prove that good math jokes don't exist I would have to say that the probability is better than zero.
12 ? The least integer that symbolizes all integers just by itself. Successors: 123, 1234...

For many who return from war, the battle does not end. And for many service connected disabled veterans, transitioning back home is difficult, partly because their houses were not built to accommodate their physical or mental needs.
Learning firsthand how great the need is, friends and Iraq War veterans Dale Beatty and John Gallina formed Purple Heart Homes, a nonprofit organization. Driven by the belief that no veteran should be left behind, Purple Heart Homes, with help from local communities, committed itself to ensuring quality-of-life solutions for disabled American veterans from all eras.
In 2004, Beatty and Gallina nearly died together when their Humvee was blown up by an IED in Iraq. Beatty lost both his legs, and Gallina suffered severe head and back injuries. Beatty in particular found that his home was not suited for his disability. "Before I had a house that was accessible, I crawled around on the floor, or my knuckles scraped on the door every time as the wheelchair was going through," he said. Beatty's community rallied together to help build a home for him and his family. "After all the build and project was done, John and I sat back and kind of looked and said, 'Is every veteran receiving this best-case scenario?'"
Since its start in 2008, Purple Heart Homes has become much more than a foundation that modifies or provides homes for disabled veterans. It also helps bridge them together with their community. Beatty says, "The community is the key. They are the key hinge point between Purple Heart Homes and the veteran because when Purple Heart Homes is done with this project and we go on to the to the next one, this person's neighbors are the ones who become their support system."
"A major part of reintegration is not just simply from the veteran's perspective," says Gallina. "It's also from the community showing that they accept him back." For Gallina, whose injuries are not as visible as Beatty's, Purple Heart Homes has helped him heal. In addition to severe back injuries, Gallina also suffers from PTSD. "Having post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, it really became a focal point that enabled me to find my own healing. To be able to grow myself and come out of my shell, to not be sitting in the house three or four weeks at a time, and I can have a purpose that was greater than myself."
"Some identify with John because of his PTSD injuries or traumatic brain injury, and that's why they apply for our services," says Beatty. "And that to me, shows we are making progress and changing the way people think, at least in the veterans, 'cause they are not afraid to ask for help for injuries that you can't see."
Sgt. Scott Emory, a Gulf War veteran, is one of the latest people Purple Heart Homes is helping. Emory's injuries are from a piece of machinery falling on him, crushing his back. But combat has also left lasting, emotional wounds. Purple Heart Homes is building an extension onto his home so Emory can have a place to retreat to when he feels the effects of PTSD. "Just having his own corner of his home is beneficial for his PTSD because he can't sleep. He has insomnia because of that" say Beatty. "The other changes we are doing in the house will make it easier for his back [and] his other physical injuries, as well."
For Emory, Purple Heart Homes provided something much greater than an add-on to his home. "Families come out and support you, and they don't even know you. To me that's like sticking your neck out for people who ordinarily wouldn't do it for you," says Emory. "To me, you're bringing that little bit of faith back, giving that little bit of faith back to veterans—faith in people because you don't have that when you first get out."
Gallina says, "When we have 20 or 30 people show up on a project that can say, 'Scott, you are not different, you're OK. Yes, thank you for your service, and we appreciate and we are here and we want you to be a part of our community,' it makes a difference. It makes them feel as though they're accepted. And that's what true integration takes to feel accepted."

Diamond Colour Guide
When industry experts discuss a diamond's color, they are typically referring to a diamond's transparancy, or lack of color. Diamonds composed of 100% pure carbon without any impurities render completely colorless diamonds. However, almost all diamonds contain some degree of color impurity caused by lingering traces of nitrogen, boron, hydrogen or other elements. Most diamonds are affected solely by nitrogen traces, which create pale yellowish or brownish tints.
If you're shopping for a diamond, be aware that the most valuable diamonds have the least amount of color, no diamond color. However, it is important to note that there is a class of diamonds known as fancy diamonds which are actual colored diamonds, including blue diamonds, pink diamonds and even yellow diamonds, if in fact you are looking for colored diamonds.
What Color Grade Should I Choose?
Color is the most important factor in determining diamond price after carat weight. The difference in appearance between diamonds graded as colorless and near colorless is generally not detectible to the average consumer, but prices vary quite considerable between these two color groups. Take a look at some certified diamonds in person while window shopping and see if you can discern between different color grades. If you have difficulty differentiating between different color grades, which you probably will, then you may want to consider a nearly colorless diamond to save on your purchase.
Assuming that you are looking for a round brilliant diamond, you have a bit more flexibility in your color grade, because the sparkle and shine the brilliant cut gives it makes it more difficult to detect color. In this instance, anything over I color is usually more than adequate, and will appear completely colorless to the untrained eye unless held up against a diamond that is at least 3 color grades above it, such as an F or E colored diamond. By going with a lower color grade you save a significant amount that can go towards increasing carat weight for a larger diamond, or consider a diamond with a better cut, thus providing you with a more shine and sparkle.
There are also many gemologists and diamond experts who claim that a completely colorless diamond creates light refraction that is too harsh and is unpleasant to the eye. Imagine if you are looking into a very bright spotlight- other than the glare, you can't really see anything. However, when the light is slightly dimmed you can actually see more detail and the viewing experience is more enjoyable. According to these experts, it is preferred to get a diamond with a small amount of color, which will soften the light and make it easier to view the entire spectrum of color that is given off when the diamond scintillates.
If your setting is made of yellow gold, you have even more flexibility in the color. Since the color of the diamond is usually only noticed when comparing it to an item that is white or colorless, whencompared to a yellow gold background, there will be far less contrast and the color will be even less noticeable, as opposed to white metal settings, such as white gold or platinum. With a yellow gold setting, you can even opt for a diamond with a J color and it will still appear to be colorless to the untrained eye.
However, there are exceptions to the rule. Diamonds with pointed ends, specifically marquis, radiants, trillion, pear and sometimes even princess shaped diamonds tend to concentrate color in these pointed corners. With these shaped diamonds, it is usually best to stay with a color grade of H and higher. If you have a pronged setting, though, the prongs may hide this color concentration.
When you are looking for ring settings with sidestones, always make sure that the color gradings of all sidestones and your centerstone are comparable. Especially with 3 stone diamond rings, make sure that the color ranges are at least within 1 grade of each other for all stones.
Color Grading: How it Works
When grading a diamond's color, the stone is examined face-down under carefully controlled light. The diamond's color is then compared to a "master stone" which has a predetermined diamond color.
Master Stones
The Gemological Institute of America's (GIA) color grading system is the diamond industry's standard for diamond color grading. The GIA's color grading system begins with D, being the whitest, and continues through the alphabet to Z, for stones that are yellowish or brownish. Before the GIA developed their universal diamond color grading standard several other diamond color scales were being used by the international diamond community. The GIA's intention was to completely differentiate their new system from the others. As such, they chose letters D-Z, letters that had never been used for diamond grading before.
Take a look at how the GIA grades color:
Diamond Colors
- D- 100% Colorless. The highest color grade a diamond can receive. D graded diamonds are extremely rare and very highly priced.
- E,F- Exceptionally transparent. Extremely difficult to detect the traces of color in an E or F graded diamond. These diamonds are rare and highly priced.
- G,H- Nearly Colorless. Unless these diamonds are compared next to a master stone of higher color grade, color is nearly indiscernible. When face up these diamond appear nearly colorless. These diamonds are still rare, but slightly less expensive and are considered a good value.
- I,J- Nearly Colorless. Color in these diamonds is slightly detectable. The slight amount of color is imperceptible by the unaided eye once the diamond has been mounted. These diamonds are of superior value, and therefore compose the majority of diamonds that are used for engagement rings, earrings and pendants.
- K-M- Faint Yellow. Noticeable color, although some diamonds in this range can still be fiery and beautiful.
- N-Z- Very Light or Light Yellow. Noticeable color. These diamonds are not fit to be sold as gemstones, unless you specifically would like to have a diamond with an amber color.
What is Fluorescense?
Many diamonds, when placed under UV light, emit a light glow in the same way that a white T-shirt does. Because there are a small amount of UV rays in regular daylight, some diamonds also exhibit fluorescence in natural light. On more recent GIA Diamond Grading Reports, the fluorescence of a diamond appears as a graded characteristic. Fluorescence can be graded as Inert, Faint, Medium, or Strong. To this day there is still no consensus among industry experts regarding the general impact of fluorescence on a diamond. This is because strong fluorescence in a diamond with a high color grade (D-H) can cause the diamond to appear milky or cloudy, while strong fluorescence in a diamond with a low color grade can make the diamond appear whiter. Most of the time, fluorescence has no impact on a diamond's appearance under regular lighting conditions.

Good news, good news and bad news
The good news is the Whirlpool repairman was able to come today instead of Wednesday as originally scheduled.
The other good news is that he had the part it needed and the fridge is fixed!!! Yahooooooo! :-)
The bad news is the part that needed to be replaced was electrical and therefore, NOT covered by the warranty after all, so we're out $180. [insert jaw hitting the floor here]
As Charlie Brown would say, "Uuuuuuuuuugh!"

"My lashes are full and layered with a natural feel. I could wear this fun, flirty style everyday! " NADINE
Our phenomenally successful collaboration with Girls Aloud features six pairs of ultra-wearable lashes. One for each of the beautiful, lash-loving band members and a special edition celebrating their 10th anniversary.
Eylure lashes are designed to enhance the natural beauty of your eyes. Fabulous, flirty and flexible they are suitable for all eye shapes and all occasions. Ultra lightweight feel.
Note: If adhesive enters the eye, rinse thoroughly with cool running water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids open with the fore fingers. If after cleansing the eyeball and eyelids any irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Adhesive Ingredients: Rubber Latex, Aqua (Water, Eau), Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Phenoxyethanol, C9-11 Pareth-8, Sodium Salicylate, Methylparaben, Disodium Edta, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Propylparaben.
Size (0) Unit (EA) Height (11) Width (9.7) Depth (2.2)
Product code: 552151
Lashes should be applied when make up is complete and lashes have been given one or two coats of mascara. Make sure your own lashes are separate, use a lash comb if necessary.
Check fit: Carefully remove the lashes from the tray and check length against your eye. Lashes should begin a little from the inside corner of the eye and not extend beyond the outside corner. If
too wide trim lashes one or two at a time from the outside edge until fit is perfect.
Apply Lash Adhesive: Place the eyelash back on the tray. Apply a line of Lash adhesive to the lash band and wait at least 30 seconds until the Lash adhesive is a little gummy. Lash adhesive won't irritate your eyes, but keep the applicator away from the eye itself. Lashfix dries clear.
Fixing the Lash: Look down into a mirror and hold lash as closely as possible to the natural lash line. Eylure lashes fix to the skin just above your natural lashes, not to them. Press gently across the entire lash holding at the ends for a few seconds. Additional make-up can be applied if required.
Removal: Hold Eylure lash at outside edge and gently peel off - it won't hurt. Always remove lashes
before sleeping. Caring for your Lashes: Remove any glue with tweezers or fingers. Replace lashes on the lash tray ready to re-apply with fresh lash adhesive. Careful use and storage of Eylure lashes will mean they can be used again and again.

Just Assume Any Info You Put Online Is Public
from the welcome-to-the-new-world dept
Having noted that a script acting on Scoble's behalf can only access information that Scoble himself can reach manually, Julian argues that this can't be considered the only criterion in evaluating the situation:
[P]rivacy is not just a function of the publicity of your personal information, but of the searchability and aggregability of that information. Public closed-circuit surveillance cameras, for instance, typically capture the same information that a casual observer on the street is already privy to. But we recognize that being spotted by diverse random pedestrians, or even being captured on diffuse and disconnected private security cameras, is not intrusive in the same way as being captured on a citywide surveillance system that is searchable from a centralized location.
All of this seems true: individuals' attitudes about privacy are rightly driven by a pragmatic appraisal of the likelihood of someone doing something bad with the available information — a judgment based on the information's value and the cost of obtaining it. Ripping up your credit card statement before throwing it in the trash doesn't make it impossible for a dumpster-diving thief to target you, but it increases the difficulty of ripping you off enough that you'll probably be safe.
But I think Julian makes a mistake when he assumes that this is a viable way to conduct your life online. The problem with applying this approach to an digital context is that a user's estimation of the accessibility of a given piece of online information is almost invariably going to be too low — and will be getting more so by the second. The costs to automatically collecting data are very small and getting smaller.
There are a few reasons for this. First, the tools are getting better. Libraries like WWW::Mechanize are simple for any programmer to use and available in a variety of languages. And GUI-based applications like Dapper and Piggy Bank aim to make things even simpler. Second, if done properly, it's very difficult to prevent, detect or punish automated data collection. Facebook's script detection technology is impressively existent relative to that of its competitors, but it's still almost certainly trivial to subvert it with proxies, faked user agents and plausibly human delays. Third, once the data is collected it can, of course, be easily distributed.
And the situation is only going to get worse! In fact, it's getting worse at such a rapid rate that counting on the privacy of any even slightly public online information is a mistake.
The negative reaction to Scoble's script is coming from users who think of it as a violation of the covenant they perceived to surround their data. But that covenant was based upon their own mistaken understanding of the internet. Scoble's actions shouldn't be viewed by these users as a transgression against them, but rather as a pleasantly benign lesson.
It's fine to lament the situation, or to applaud Facebook for taking steps to keep its valuable, freely-acquired user data away from competitors (and, while they're at it, script-employing users). But this assertion of community norms is unlikely to stop those who, unlike Scoble, are genuinely acting in bad faith. The technology for containing digital cats in digital bags is woefully inadequate, and it's unlikely to improve anytime soon.

World as We Know It
by Amanda L. Kondolojy
July 14, 2009 - Darksiders: Wrath of War is a game that takes place during the apocalypse. The world is ending, and angels and demons are duking it out in the streets over the fate of what's left of the world. However, there's just one problem: this apocalypse was never supposed to happen. When it is realized that it was never supposed to happen, everyone seems to be pointing the finger at War, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and the only one to appear so far. Now War has to fend off some fairly upset angels and demons as well as find the being responsible for causing such a ruckus in order to restore his innocence.
Unfortunately, until War finds out who is behind this untimely apocalypse, he'll have to fight all manner of supernatural beings and with limited powers to boot. When you first start playing, War is in pretty sad shape after the majority of his powers have been striped from him by an inter-dimensional congress known as the Charred Council. As you progress through the game, however, your actions will be guided by a being known as The Watcher, who has been appointed to guide War's path to redemption. Although The Watcher can kill War at any time, he's more apt to helping guide your actions and to giving advice at pivotal points in the plot.
Once we got through the amazing back-story, we were finally able to get some hands-on time with Darksiders. The game plays a lot like God of War (for obvious reasons). The battle system works like your basic button-masher, with plenty of standard attacks as well as advanced-level combos and devastating finishing moves. These moves are controlled with a wrath meter that, once filled, will allow you to unleash some destructive and far-reaching attacks in accordance with War's current progress in the game.
Even though we spent some time playing with a powered-down version of War, I was surprised at how user-friendly the battle system was. As soon as you figure out some of the more simple combos, dispatching enemies is quite easy. We were also able to take a spin on War's horse, Ruin, and combat while saddled up is even more approachable. We were easily able to mow down enemies and run our swords along even the most daunting of foes.
However, we were assured by one of the developers that there will be more than just button-mashing and slashing in the gameplay. In addition to running through hordes of Angel and Demon enemies, you will also have to solve puzzles in dungeon-based settings. These puzzles can involve anything from manipulating the environment in order to open a door to complex boss battles that involve some sort of puzzling to complete. Although we weren't able to test out the puzzles for ourselves, it seems like a much-needed element to give players a reprieve from the constant button-mashing that playing this game is sure to entail.
Although the gameplay did seem a little too much like God of War (complete with the requisite QTEs), one area that really helps this game set itself apart is the visuals. The game's art style is phenomenal, and everything from the architecture to the enemy designs exudes a certain apocalyptic charm. Since the Human race is all but extinct, the remains of the Earth as we know it are presented in fantastic detail, and the layering of the ruins of human civilization with new Angelic and Demonic structures is quite striking.
Even more striking still are the combat animations, which will definitely fuel the most staunch gamer's lust for gore. War's sword is quite massive, and you will be able to see some very detailed kill animations that involve severed limbs (including Angel wings), broken bones, and plenty of lost heads. The kill animations in particular are especially gory, and the team behind the visuals certainly has the "shock" factor going for them in this respect.
Darksiders: Wrath of War looks like it is shaping up to be a very interesting title. Though the combat does seem like a run-of-the-mill God of War clone, the story, puzzle elements, and visuals should be enough to make this title unique among its peers. Darksiders: Wrath of War is currently slated to be released sometime early next year.

Virgin Vines Shiraz / Syrah (2007) red – CaliforniaWednesday, November 16th, 2011
What a DAY! Everything seemed to go wrong today . . . I'm SO glad work is OVER!
This morning the shower leaked (which I had to fix), my phone fell behind the piano and my bicycle had a flat so I had to take my spare, running late I picked the wine without even looking at the label and peddled off to the office.
Things went wrong at the office all day and I barely made the boat.
AMAZING! What a wonderful surprise . . . I want to get away and the wine is Virgin Vines Shiraz / Syrah (2007) a red from California. The label resembles Virgin Airlines!
I know this wine will take me and my friends away from troubles and make our day better!
We sail at 5:30 from the San Francisco Ferry Building for Sausalito and we pop the cork. As the voyage progresses our prospective changes from the city to the San Francisco Bay and then the view of the Pacific Ocean. We see the ships sailing in and out to exotic locals. What strange and exciting cargo do they bring. I remember the song "Mule Train" with a long list of (looking at an attractive young and vivacious tourist from South Asia and can't help but think of the "dress of Calico for the Pretty Navaho").
Too soon we're docking in Sausalito and we must come off our cruise across the bay remembering tomorrow we do the same again!
Life is Good!
Cheers, Willy
Bought at Cost Plus / World Market
NOTE: Syrah and Shiraz are the same grapes
Rene Barbier – Mediterranean Red – Catalunya (non-vintage blend) SpainTuesday, November 15th, 2011
Rain, rain, rain . . . the weather is changing and San Francisco winter is HERE! Time for a nice chewy red (when your mouth holds the wine you know it isn't water).
We make our way up to the top deck and the boat gets under way. The heaters are on and we're under cover on the top deck.
We pop the cork and the wine is ready to drink . . . this is a nice soft red but still with body to enjoy. We cruise by Alcatraz and we're ready for a second glass. We have just enough to make a small second pour. This is a popular wine!
As we pass the notorious island we notice the end of the rain is passing and heading east and we can see clear skies through the Golden Gate framing the famous bridge . . . what a site.
What a magnificent commute.
When we dock in Sausalito it seems a shame the commute has ended!
Life is Good!

Rex Goliath – Cabernet Sauvignon (red) California – non-vintageMonday, November 14th, 2011
Hurrah! My niece is here. She just got a job here down the street from the Ferry Building and is staying with us until she can find an apartment. She's one of the smartest people I know and absolutely happy with the world. She has lived all over the world and just moved from Europe.
She's always looking at the world for wonderful sights and experiences. Boy are we ready to give one . . . She's going to be on The World's Best Commute with a party every day, The 5:30 Sausalito Ferry the San Francisco Ferry Building. She's working for a web publisher and does video. For opening there's a wonderful big, bold California Cabernet Sauvignon (red) by Rex Goliath, a non-vintage wine absolutely ready to drink but it can be stored for while.
Today the boat is absolutely loaded with tourists who are enjoying themselves immensely. They appear to be college students and they've obviously slipped the leash and are Party Animals!
We open the bottle and we share it around. My niece raises her eyebrows and asks, "Is this really less than $5 a bottle?".
We laugh since we've had this wine before and many buy it regularly for home consumption . . . We all nod our heads and say "Definitely!"
We enjoy the run watching the sunset through the Golden Gate with the Bridge in silhouette.
The trip is over too soon, a fun time was had by all.
Life is Good!
Cheers, Willy
Berringer White Zin 2010 (white, blush, sweet)Tuesday, October 4th, 2011
A hot day in San Francisco & I'm running low on white wine! No time to panic or to get something else.
I'm on my way to the Sausalito Ferry which sails from the San Francisco Ferry Building at 5:30.
I've got a bottle I picked up at Target out of curiosity, I'll take that and pack it in a FedEx Padded Envelope with some blue ice! This bottle is Berringer White Zinfandel 2010 . . . Berrigner is a respectable brand by under $5 at Target and Safeway makes me skittish.
I quickly pack this and some cups and off I go.
When I arrive at ferry boat and we're seated I open the bottle. We pass it around and all remark on the brand . . . I haven't told them it's provenance (where I bought it). It's nicely chilled in the Padded FedEx Envelope (free and fairly good insulation!).
We open and pour. Definitely okay! It's a little sweet but it does have flavor and goes down easy right after opening! We sit and enjoy the highly unusual warmth as the ferry crosses the San Francisco Bay and the tourists enjoy themselves.
Life is Good!
Cheers, Willy
Bought at Target, also available at Safeway and Ralph's.
La Castella Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) (red) 2009Monday, October 3rd, 2011
Sailing Time! I'm late for the boat! Thank goodness for the bicycle tourists. 158 bicycles today and the Sausalito Ferry is late unloading at the San Francisco Ferry Building!
It's a picture perfect day . . . and every tourist stops and takes a photo of the SAN FRANCISCO sign on top of the Ferry Building. Meanwhile, us commuters patiently await while the aggressively dressed hard bodied young tourist girls. Today seems that Asia is the source of thin and willowy girl tourists with giggles like silver bells in the sunlight speaking a mixture of Japanese, Chinese and Tagalog . . . The last group on our commute was from Northern Europe, blonde, blonde and and occasional redhead with the throaty, hearty laughter speaking German, and Swedish!
As gracious regular riders of the Sausalito Ferry from the San Francisco Ferry Building we offer to take their picture . . . it's so easy to be hospitable to beautiful girls whose laughter is a balm for even the most tired and care worn soul.
We live in the destination for beautiful gorgeous young women!
Tonight we're trying a new wine, La Castella Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) (red) 2009. Before the boat casts off we open the bottle with a highly audible POP! The young tourists look at us and smile. We pour a libation in our commute group . . . a wonderful and soft wine ready to drink immediatey. Very drinkable.
We enjoy the ride and the scenery around the boat and on the bay.
Life is Good!
Cheers, Willy
Available at BevMo at 2nd bottle for $0.05.
Caves du Fournalet – Red – Cotes du RhoneThursday, September 29th, 2011
When you're on the San Francisco Bay, it's always sweatshirt weather… at it's warmest. Today looks like a typical day so' we've got our sweatshirts and jackets ready!
It's August and we're riding the 5:30pm ferry across the bay home from work . . . the worlds BEST commute! The sun shines down on us as we watch the fog roll over the hills of Marin to the sound of clinking glasses, laughter with everybody have a nice time. This is just simply WONDERFUL! The wind blows through the bustling conversation among the usual tourists, commuters and friends as we pass Alcatraz and the opening of the Bay to the North Pacific.
The Golden Gate was named centuries ago after it's appearance during sunset, the whole opening turns golden! If you watch carefully and the sun is going down when the ferry cruises across the sun reflects off the structure and for a brief moment the bridge appears to be made of gold!
I reach into my briefcase and pull out my bottle of Caves du Fournalet Cotes du Rhone. Cheers are raised! This is our second bottle of wine tonight but the group is large and the party strong. With a loud POP the bottle is opened and the wine is ready . . . this doesn't need to breath to eliminate any off flavors!
This is a nice chewy red – ready to drink right after we open it but with some substance and this nice red warms you right up. We pour a round and savor the momemt – today, the world is good.
Epicuro – Nero d'Avola (red) 2009Thursday, September 29th, 2011
Party up, Party Down . . . Party time!
It's a Birthday on a foggy, foggy day. San Francisco is at it's best. the fog at ground level with the TransAmerica Pyramid sticking out! The top of the Golden Gate Bridge emerges from the fog.
The party is on the 5:30 ferry from the San Francisco Ferry Building to Sausalito – Our regular commute, the world's BEST commute!
We have a wine suitable for the occasion, Epicuro – Nero d'Avola (red) 2009. This is a nice chewy red, not as heavy as cote de Rhone but still not a light wine.
One of us stopped at the bakeries in the Ferry Building, we have a beautiful cupcake for the tradition minded and a Cheese Wheel roll from Acme Bread for the more adventurous!
We open the bottle and the wine is good from the first pour. After singing the appropriate song, we toast the birthday boy and cut the cupcake and Cheese Wheel!
Life is good!
Cheers, Willy

Black Oak White Zinfandel (white / blush) – 2007 (dry, not sweet)Wednesday, September 28th, 2011
I'm Late! I'm Late! I feel like the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland!
I've got to get off to work and I forgot to pack a bottle for tonight for the Ferry Boat between San Francisco Ferry Building and Sausalito.
I grab the first bottle that come to hand, Black Oak White Zinfandel – 2007. I normally don't bring this type of wine, a white made from red grapes. The Zinfandel's skin is so dark it looks black but the inside is the slight yellow of white wine. If crushed too hard or allowed to stay in contact with skin it turns pink and if left to ferment with skins it turns red. Pinot Noir does the same.
Wineries call it various names white, blush, eye of swan, rose depending on what the marketing people recommend. Many of these wines are made sweet.
I get some ice at work and chill the bottle for the commute home.
I bring it on the boat . . . we aren't big fans of sweet wines, many only taste sweet and nothing else. We open the bottle, many only take a small pour . . . SURPRISE! It's dry, not sweet.
We proceed to drink the small tastes we have in our cups with the second pour MUCH larger! This wine is good and we'll savor, savor and savor thru the voyage to Sausalito!
Life is good!
Cheers, Willy
Bought at Bevmo.
Benefactor Cellars – Shiraz / Syrah (red) 2010Thursday, September 22nd, 2011
What to do? What to do? It's a conundrum! We need something different, remarkable but drinkable. I'm walking down the aisle and spot the perfect thing.
An Oz wine (as in Australia). The label on the Benefactor Cellars – Shiraz / Syrah (red) 2010 is VERY different, something from a Mexican Day of the Dead wood cut. Australian export wines tend to be good and soft when they're on the low end of the price range which this is.
I turn the bottle over and look at the back . . . again a VERY positive clue! The winery has written about the wine, obviously they take pride in their handicraft!
I'm expecting a wine sales rep on the ferry tonight! She's a regular with her husband on the 5:30 Sausalito Ferry from the San Francisco Ferry building and she always likes exotic and unusual wines that are good. So far most of the time her requirements are met.
We board the ferry and we pop the cork and pass the cups of wine . . . AHHH! Another successful foray into the wine wilderness!
We enjoy the ride by Alcatraz and awesome view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
I've noticed that Shiraz / Syrah wine that is less popular than Cabernet Sauvnginon or Merlot so what's available tend to be better quality. Many wineries will sell an inferior Cabernet or Merlot but tend to do better on the less well known wines.
As always, a wonderful way to commute!
Life is good!
Cheers, Willy

Benefactor Cellars – Shiraz / Syrah (red) 2010
Archeo (Ruggero di Tasso) Nero d'Avola (red) 2008Wednesday, September 21st, 2011
PARTY TIME! We're going to boogie, Boogie, BOOGIE!
We were on our way to a friend's party, a fun and frolicking potluck. We live in San Francisco area and this is going to be a VERY international group (and a LOT of fun). Most of the people at the party drink very little wine but the host has declared, "This is a wine themed party!"
We decide that we will bring a wine within reach, something very approachable both from cost and taste. We are looking for a soft wine that comes in an attractive bottle.
The people work with number (accountants, etc.) but aspire to be Party Animals . . . they certainly get enthusiastic about these events!
The party is at night here in the San Francisco Bay Area and the night will be cold. The food will come with many different spices, the piquant (hot) of Thai and Indonesian, the garlic of Italian, the fish sauce of Vietnamese and heavy creams of Europe. We decide a red with a tiny bit of pepper (hot like black pepper rather than vegetable like green peppers / capsicum). It should be ready to drink and not offend anyone! We hope by buying a wine under $5/bottle we can encourage people to discover wine. We know the people will drink only a few glasses so we want our contribution to be a nice experience!
Archeo's Nero d'Avola by Ruggero di Tasso certianly meets the bill. It drinks well right after opening and goes down softly. The bottle is beautiful, tall and stately with a gold label. The wine is intensely red but smooth a very mild aftertaste (what wine people call finish).
This is a regular with my commute group on the Sausalito Ferry.
You can't go wrong with Archeo's Nero d'Avola by Ruggero di Tasso.
Life is good!
Cheers, Willy

Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova has fielded a near full strength starting XI for his side's trip to face Valencia on Sunday evening in La Liga.
Spain internationals, Andres Iniesta and Pedro, will line-up in the front three along with Lionel Messi in what is a talented frontline for Los Cules.
The midfield trio consists of Sergio Busquets, Xavi and Cesc Fabregas. However, as the game progresses, expect the former Arsenal man to fluently swap positions with Andres Iniesta in attack.
Perhaps the only first-choice absentee is Carles Puyol. Javier Mascherano is preferred over the Barcelona club captain to partner Gerard Pique in the centre of defence this evening.
For Valencia, Victor Ruiz is once again dispatched as a midfield enforcer despite being a natural central defender. He will partner Tino Costa is the middle for Los Che.
Roberto Soldao is supported up top by an attacking trio of Juan Bernat, Andres Guardado, and Ever Banega.
Valencia (4-2-3-1): Guaita; Joao, Rami, Ricardo Costa, Cissokho; V. Ruiz, Tino Costa; Bernat, Banega, Guardado; Soldado.
Barcelona (4-3-3): Valdes; Dani Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Jordi Alba; Fabregas, Busquets, Xavi; Iniesta, Messi, Pedro.

We now use a single, unified process to develop guidelines.
However we do have guidelines in these areas:
Clinical guidelines
Clinical guidelines recommend how healthcare professionals should care for people with specific conditions.
They can cover any aspect of a condition and may include recommendations about providing information and advice, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and longer-term management.
These guidelines are also important for health service managers and commissioners of NHS services.
More about clinical guidelines
See the milestone dates for clinical guidelines in development.
Some clinical guidelines aren't updated as often as the rest of NICE's clinical guidelines. They are placed on the static list and are reviewed less often.
Guideline development before 2015
Clinical guidelines that were already in development before 1 January 2015 used the following process:
- See previous versions of the clinical guidelines development manuals (2006 - 2009).
Positively Equal
Positively Equal: a guide to addressing equality issues in developing clinical guidelines is used by NICE's Centre for Clinical Practice, the National Collaborating Centres, chairs and members of the decision-making committee.
National Collaborating Centres (NCCs)
National Collaborating Centres (NCCs) help
- The National Guideline Centre (NGC) is hosted by the Royal College of Physicians and overseen by the Royal College of General Practitioners, Royal College of Nursing, Royal College of Physicians and Royal College of Surgeons of England. NGC was formerly the National Clinical Guideline Centre (NCGC).
- The National Guideline Alliance (NGA) is hosted by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. It was formed on 1 April 2016 and merged the National Collaborating Centre for Cancer (NCC-C), the National Collaborating Centre for Women's and Children's Health (NCC-WCH) and the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health (NCCMH).
Cancer service guidance focuses on the way services are organised for the treatment of different types of cancer. It is therefore different from clinical practice guidelines.
Public health guidelines
Guidelines on public health topics make recommendations on local interventions that can help prevent disease or improve health.
The guidance may focus on a particular topic (such as smoking), a particular population (such as schoolchildren) or a particular setting (such as the workplace).
More about public health guidelines
This guidance is aimed at public health professionals and practitioners and others with a direct or indirect role in public health within the NHS, local authorities and the wider public, voluntary, community and private sectors.
Some public health guidelines are not updated as often as the rest of NICE's public health guidelines. They are placed on a static list and are reviewed less often.
Guideline development before 2015
Public health guidelines that were already in development before 1 January 2015 used the following process:
- See previous versions of the public health development manuals (2006 - 2012).
Additional reports
We also produce some additional public health reports that are not classed as guidelines.
Social care guidelines
Social care guidelines aim to improve outcomes for people who use social care support by ensuring that social care services and interventions are effective and cost-efficient. They do this by making recommendations about best practice, drawn from current evidence-based research.
More about social care guidelines
Social care guidelines are primarily aimed at social care practitioners and providers (including in the independent and voluntary sector). Depending on the topic, social care guidelines may also be relevant
Social care guidelines that were already in development before 1 January 2015 used the following process:
The National Collaborating Centre for Social Care uses NICE's methods and processes to develop social care guidelines. The NCCSC also provides NICE with support for adoption and dissemination of social care guidelines and quality standards. The NCCSC is managed by the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) on behalf of its partners:
- Evidence for Policy and Practice Information and Co-ordinating Centre (EPPI-Centre) which is part of the Social Science Research Unit at the Institute of Education, University of London
- Personal Social Services Research Unit (PSSRU) at the London School of Economics and Political Science and the University of Kent
- Research in Practice (RIP)
- Research in Practice for Adults (RIPfA).
Medicines practice guidelines
Medicines practice guidelines provide recommendations for good practice for those individuals and organisations involved in governing, commissioning, prescribing and decision-making about medicines. They have a wide range of audiences across both health and social care.
More about medicines practice guidelines
These guidelines provide good practice recommendations for people and organisations involved in working with medicines in:
- governing
- commissioning
- prescribing
- decision-making
They have an emphasis on the implications for national medicines practice and are also used to develop quality standards that review systems and processes relating to the use of medicines in different settings and organisations.Guideline development
Medicines practice guidelines that were already in development before 1 January 2015 used the following process:
Antimicrobial prescribing guidelines
Our guidelines offer evidence-based antimicrobial prescribing information for all care settings. They focus on bacterial infections and appropriate antibiotic use.
Safe staffing guidelines
Following the Report of the Francis Inquiry and the Berwick Review into Patient Safety, NICE produced 2 guidelines on safe staffing capacity and capability in the NHS.
From June 2015 NHS England will take forward staffing work as part of a wider programme of service improvement.

GUANGZHOU, China — Like wedding guests separated across the aisle, the protesters assembled on either side of a gated driveway at the headquarters of the embattled Southern Weekly newspaper. To the right, several dozen supporters of the newspaper staff waved banners calling for an end to censorship of the Chinese press.
"Freedom!" they chanted.
"Constitutional rights!"
To the left, beneath fluttering red Chinese flags and hoisted portraits of Mao Tse-tung, a battalion of mostly older men shouted into a microphone, trying to drown out their ideological rivals.
"Long live Chairman Mao!" they chanted.
"We love China!"
Across the divide, the dueling protesters have been engaging in a spirited debate over the Communist Party's grip on the media. The spat erupted over the weekend in the southern city of Guangzhou when journalists threatened to strike over a front-page New Year's editorial that was rewritten by propaganda officials. Although a strike was averted by a last-minute deal Wednesday, the raucous public protests continued outside the newspaper headquarters.
