The Broadband Technology
How has the broadband technology affected the social, political, and economic aspect of the society using them? What are the pros and cons of this new technology? Ever since the introduction of high speed internet, things have never been the same again. The broadband can be defined as a technology which allows communication over an extensive band of frequencies which have been divided into numerous autonomous channels for simultaneous broadcasting of different signals (Ruiz, 2004). It allows data, voice, and video to be broadcasted over the same medium at equivalent times. The broadband also allows several data channels to be transmitted simultaneously. Though the internet was discovered much earlier, it was slow and cumbersome, and therefore, the discovery of the broadband technology increased internet speeds thereby growing tremendously over the years. The broadband has transformed the lives of different communities in an immense way and has expanded amount of data that can be transferred across the internet and the World Wide Web. Also known as the Broadband Internet Access, it has ushered in a new way of how people use computers. According to Selouani (2007), the broadband is a type of internet access that has a high data rate. Its access to the internet is always referred to as 'high speed' since it transmits data at a very a high pace. The broadband technology originated from the radio systems engineering.
The average quality of a broadband technology is mostly ADSL and cable internet, but new technologies entail VDSL and optical fiber (Lehr, 2005). Lately, there has been the use of fiber-optic communication which has really enabled the accessibility of the broadband internet whereby information is transmitted cheaply over long distances. In addition, the access to broadband mobile internet to consumers in a few countries is done through HSDPA and EV-DO technologies nowadays. For instance, the WiMAX technology is the latest to be used for both stationery and mobile broadband (Fransman, 2006).
The broadband technology has massively impacted on various communities around the globe. For instance, cases of changes in people's behaviors, their relationships and attitudes of the masses have been widely reported. Countries have had major boost in their economies as a result of this technology. Besides healthcare, small businesses such as cyber cafes, entertainment spots, travelling agencies and many other businesses have sprung up. The broadband is essential in passing information, applications and various contents to its consumers, students and also small businessmen. Social networking has proved to be a fast growing type of communication both personally and as a group. Examples of these social networks include Facebook and Twitter. Broadband communication has also brought about a wide range of other benefits to many countries, such as creation of jobs, reduction of the cost of business, foreign investment, innovativeness and creation of numerous other economic opportunities. Most developed nations have utilized this technology and hugely benefitted from it. In addition, this high speed internet connection can be found in many households (Cohill, 2005).
During the past years, most of the rural folks in developing countries could not afford broadband solutions such as DSL and cable broadband due to its expensiveness and difficulty to spread out. However, the situation has changed recently and broadband technology has become more accessible, cheap, reliable and easy to layout. According to Ruiz (2004), remote areas have benefited especially through combining WiMAX and WI-FI networks which have proved to be very portable and mobile. Another good thing about this wireless technology is that as its demand grows, it can be increased without costly upgrades. WiMAX gives both fixed and mobile services, and it can also allow for the addition of data and voice thereby resulting in the reduction of connectivity cost.
There is no doubt that access to broadband communication is very crucial in the enhancement of rural development. It has improved many economies, healthcare provision and the general way in which people live. Most people, both in the rural and urban areas, have had their lives changed immensely through this technology. For instance, communication between friends and relatives has been made easier and faster through the use of email, webcam, and video conferences (Lehr, 2005). The email, though perceived to be old fashioned, has rendered the use of postal mail helpless since chatting and instant messaging has become the trend nowadays. Information can now be accessed at a faster rate by the click of a button. Time is also saved in travelling and in movement of money to banks, since many payments and transactions nowadays are done online. Most people can read newspapers online instead of having of buying printed material.
The education sector is also one of the major beneficiaries of this technology. For example, E-Learning and projects research can be done using broadband technology without necessarily going to the library. On the other hand, entertainment has lately shifted to the internet where music and documents can now be downloaded. Many people nowadays actually work from their homes thus avoiding the hustle and tussle of going through traffic jams to offices. It is worth to note that most of the benefits accrued from the internet are actually possible due to the connection of the broadband technology. Nevertheless, broadband technology has its own shortcomings. There has to be two sides of a coin; the positive and the negative side of any argument. High speed internet connection has its disadvantages. Internet fraud and insecurity, for example, have been on the rise. In addition, there is no regulation on its content and therefore, pornographic sites and other explicit sites have found their way into the web. Viruses are also a common phenomenon on the web (Cohill, 2005).
Developing nations have benefitted from the diffusion of the broadband in many ways. Their economies have grown due to the investment of international investors. Developing countries with improved ICT infrastructure have always attracted foreign investment businesses from abroad. It is worth to note that the broadband technology has really helped the developing nations since most of their population and small businesses are located in the rural areas (Selouani 2007). As such, the expansion of broadband networks to these areas has diversified people's incomes through promoting employment from the non-agricultural sector. Consequently, this reduces rural-urban migration. Most of the developed nations have however capitalized on the economic gain from broadband technology in a negative way; few individuals have utilized the broadband technology to become super -rich at the expense of a majority of the population which languishes in poverty and lack of essential services.

Rate for 30-year mortgage ticks up, MBA finds(Read article summary)
Mortgage rates for 30 year and 15 year fixed rate mortgages went up, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Mortgage rates, however, are still down from the sky-high levels back in 2007 before the Great Recession and the housing market collapsed.
The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) publishes the results of a weekly applications survey that covers roughly 50 percent of all residential mortgage originations and tracks the average interest rate for 30 year and 15 year fixed rate mortgages as well as the volume of both purchase and refinance applications.
The purchase application index has been highlighted as a particularly important data series as it very broadly captures the demand side of residential real estate for both new and existing home purchases.
The latest data is showing that the average rate for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage (from FHA and conforming GSE data) increased 2 basis points to 4.19 percent since last week while the purchase application volume increased 4 percent and the refinance application volume increased 0.4 percent over the same period.
The chart shows the average interest rate for 30 year and 15 year fixed rate mortgages since 2006 as well as the purchase, refinance and composite loan volumes (click for larger dynamic full-screen version).

Designer Carroll Shelby's year-long claim has been intriguing: He would finish what he started in 1965 and build the last of his elite Cobra sports cars on cobwebbed frames and parts he had hoarded for 27 years.
In recent months, his company has assembled nine of the treasured two-seaters--Cobra 427s descended from race cars that beat Ferrari for the 1964 world manufacturer's championship.
At least four have been sold--asking price: $500,000--as zero-mile, newly completed originals.
But are they?
Despite Shelby's statements of authenticity--widely quoted by automotive magazines and newspapers including The Times--engineers involved in his project say there are few items of original metal or equipment on the reissued 427SCs. The motors and transmissions are 1965 rebuilds; chassis, suspension, body and most other parts are newly manufactured.
And that, say some car specialists, makes these Cobra facsimiles worth little more than a dozen other replicars on the market, the best of which sell for only $65,000.

Over the years, Fallon has released two albums and honed his pipes on Late Night, Saturday Night Live and even a 2012 Primetime Music Special, so it comes as no surprise that the funnyman showed off his skills in the show's opening credits.
Guys with Kids exclusive video: Nick's forgotten loveCheck out this exclusive video below of Fallon describing the writing and recording process. The full theme song debuts on Guys with Kids Wednesday at 8:30/7:30c.

Angela Eagle: There are currently 75 full-time and 398 part-time adjudicators. We are planning to appoint another 70 full-time and 128 part-time adjudicators. That will increase the capacity so that we can hear appeals more effectively. I do not want the hon.

The time limits are strict: the hearing must be applied for within 10 days, and held within the next 10 days.

Soaring Quotes (3 quotes)
A grove of giant redwoods or sequoias should be kept just as we keep a great or beautiful cathedral. The extermination of the passenger pigeon meant that mankind was just so much poorer; exactly as in the case of the destruction of the cathedral at Rheims. And to lose the chance to see frigate-birds soaring in circles above the storm, or a file of pelicans winging their way homeward across the crimson afterglow of the sunset, or a myriad terns flashing in the bright light of midday as they hover in a shifting maze above the beach—why, the loss is like the loss of a gallery of the masterpieces of the artists of old time.
Science arouses a soaring sense of wonder. But so does pseudoscience. Sparse and poor popularizations of science abandon ecological niches that pseudoscience promptly fills. If it were widely understood that claims to knowledge require adequate evidence before they can be accepted, there would be no room for pseudoscience.
Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual ... The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.

How To Sell Your Van For Free
How do I sell my van for free? This is a question you and many other people often ask, and the good news is there are many ways to do it. With that said, below are a few ways you can sell your van for free.
1. To A Company- Did you know there are companies that specialize in buying vans and vehicles in any condition, and if you have a relatively new van, then this may not be the best method to go with. However, selling your van to these kinds of companies is free and easy to do, and if you have a used van you don't want anymore, they will typically buy it regardless of the condition it is in. If you need cash fast or you have a van you want to get rid of as soon as possible, then contact a company that buys vans in any condition.
2. Classified Websites- Another free way to sell your van is by placing an ad on a classified website. The best thing to do is to find 3-4 classified websites that allow you to place free ads and then list your van. Make sure you include a very detailed description for your van because you want to entice people into learning more about it. The more classified websites you use, the better your chances are someone will be interested in buying it.
3. Facebook- Facebook may not necessarily be the best way to sell a van, but it is free. What you want to do is snap a few photos of your vehicle and then post them to your profile and let people know you are selling it and let them know how much it is selling for. Make sure you encourage people to share the photos with people they know because the chances are they may know someone who is on the market for a van. If you want, you can join buy/sell groups and pages, as they tend to let you list your van for sale.
4. In The Yard- You can sell your vehicle the old fashion way, which is to put it in the front yard with a sign on it. If you live in a rural area, the chances are that not many people will see your van, but it is still worth trying. However, if you live in an area where there are quite a few vehicles that drive by, then you have a good chance at selling your van. Keep in mind people like to talk down the price of a vehicle, so sell your van for a higher price you are trying to get for it because you will have a good chance at getting what you actually want for it, even if you take a few dollars off of the price tag.
Selling your van for free is possible and easy to do. The above four ways are only a few of the many ways to do it. Go ahead and give those ways a try and you'll sell your van in no time.

Mad Men
And now for a different kind of March "Mad"-ness: the return of AMC's Mad Men on Sunday, March 25. The series, which premiered in 2007, has garnered a lot of attention and praise, earning several Emmy and Golden Globe Awards. The drama, set in the 1960s, looks at the world of advertising executives of Madison Avenue. While the advertising game and its strategies are part of the story, the main draw is the private lives of the men and women of the agency Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce.
Whenever Hollywood has tackled the subject of ad men and women and advertising in general, it's been mostly for laughs. Occasionally there is a more serious approach, such as Mad Men and The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit, both featuring main characters whose past decisions continue to affect their lives and the lives of everyone around them.
But for laughs and just for fun, you can't go wrong with the following movies and classic TV series about advertising and ad execs. There are even a couple of movies about how an ad can bring sudden fame – and more than a few problems.
Good Neighbor Sam
The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit
It Should Happen to You
Lover Come Back
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House
The Thrill of it All
Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?
For a different look at the world of advertising, check out POM Wonderful presents The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, Morgan Spurlock's documentary about product placement, particularly in movies and TV.
Finally, for die-hard Mad Men fans, the books Mad Men Unbuttoned: a Romp Through 1960s America and Mad Women: the Other Side of Life on Madison Avenue in the '60s and Beyond give further insight into the life and times of the real-life Don Drapers and Peggy Olsons.

Math formulas are used to define relationships between a number of variables. Although math formulas can be expressed in the form of equations, not all equations are math formulas. The variables in an equation are denoted by symbols such as "X" or "Y", which represent values not already known. For example, the math formula for working out the volume of a cube, or box, is given by V= lwh.Continue Reading
In the volume of a box formula, the symbol "V" stands for volume, "l" for length, "w" for width and "h" for height. The equation a2 + b2 = c2 is considered a formula because it defines the relationship between variables a, b and c. However, x/2 + 7 = 0 is an equation but not a math formula, as it contains no related variables.
Math formulas are used to work out real-world problems. For instance, the math formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle, which is P = 2l + 2w, can be used to work out the perimeter of a bedroom floor in a real-world scenario. Similarly, the formula defining the relationship between distance, time and speed can be employed to calculate any of the three variables for a moving car.Learn more about Algebra

Leaders are Learners. Shereen Eltobgy, lead coach at Delivering Happiness suggests two favorite books that help entrepreneurs take charge.
1. Tribal Leadership
Tribes are more powerful than teams, companies, or even CEOs, and yet their key leverage points have not been mapped—until now. In Tribal Leadership, Dave Logan, John King, and Halee Fischer-Wright show leaders how to assess their organization's tribal culture on a scale from one to five and then implement specific tools to elevate the stage to the next. The result is unprecedented success.
The book also talks about "How to implement the leadership system in any culture" and the core values to get to true north and higher purpose.
2. Callings
Is a a book that really pushes you as individuals and create something bigger than what you have built. Callings is filled with wise observations about life.

Most TV junkies have logged a long afternoon in front of the boob tube, be it catching up on DVDs or clearing the TiVo—but two buddies from California have raised vegging out to an art form.
West Coast natives Jeremiah Franco and Carin Shreve broke the Guinness world record for the longest period of consecutive TV viewing by watching 86 hours and 37 minutes of The Simpsons, in honor of the Fox series' upcoming 500th episode. Breaking that down further, these gentlemen spent more than three and a half days watching Homer and company get into trouble and make fart jokes. That is an obscene amount of television.
For setting the record, TV Guide reports the ambitiously lazy duo won $10,500 along with some Simpsons gear.
Oddly enough, The Simpsons unseated Jack Bauer for the prize—as the previous record was held by three guys who watched 86 hours of the Fox action thriller 24. But at least CTU's top agent got in on the Simpsons action in the 2007 episode "24 Minutes." So, yeah, it all comes full circle. Kind of.

Google previews public online health service
Google last week unveiled its new online health service at a meeting of the Healthcare Management and Information Systems Society (HIMSS) in Orlando.
Although the service has not yet been made available to the public, a pilot version is being tested by a select group of Cleveland Clinic patients. Functions of the service dubbed Google Health are expected to include storage of medical records, health tools and a find a doctor function.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt compared Google Health to Google's news service, which, to date, does not carry advertising.
"Our model is that the owner of the data has control over who can see it," Schmidt said at the HIMMS conference. "And trust, for Google, is the most important currency on the Internet."
Google may not need to place its ads directly on the its health landing page as long as it provides a search box that can lead users to other pages with advertising.
Google's VP, search & user products, Marissa Mayer, wrote in a recent blog post: "We're proud of the product that we've designed and are continuing to build…We look forward to the feedback we will receive from our Cleveland Clinic pilot, from all of you, and from the initial users of our service when we make it publicly available in the coming months."
The full contents of Mayer's blog post are available here.

Top 100 Agencies: STRIKEFORCE Communications
Strikeforce Communications founder and president Mike Rutstein doesn't enter every conversation about his business with the goal of working himself up. But more than most of his fellow agency chiefs, Rutstein doesn't shy away from discussing what he sees as the flaws in the traditional healthcare marketing model. He writes articles. He gives speeches. To use the sort of cliché Rutstein openly disdains, he wears his passion on his sleeve.
Here's his take on the quality of creative work many agencies produce: "For years, products sold themselves, because the data was so compelling. 'A 30 percent reduction in lipids'? You can pretty much take a magic marker and write that across a white sheet of paper, and that's enough. But the business has changed and people haven't changed with it. They make excuses—'well, gee, this is a highly regulated category'—and they end up falling back on clichés and twisted metaphors."
And here's his take on the freelancer-heavy agency business model, one to which STRIKEFORCE has subscribed since its inception. "More and more agencies are doing this, but they're sort of hiding it behind the façade of the larger structure. The fact is, going out and assembling the best mix of people is good for business. No one agency can manage every dynamic and every challenge with a set group of people. You can't get best-in-class out of a single box."
Rutstein doesn't convey any of this in an "I'm right and you're wrong" manner, mind you. He just cares, and perhaps can't help himself. "We're very up front with clients: we tell them that we cherry-pick the best people for a given job," he continues, still on the topic of freelancers. "Other agencies have people they have to use because they're paying them a salary, whether or not those people have any relevance to the client's business. The guy who was working on chocolate chip cookies last week is now doing oncology. That obviously affects the work."
If you push him, Rutstein might say a few words about his own agency, which pushed past $7 million in revenues in 2012. Strikeforce employs 25 full-time staffers, most of them assigned to the firm's AOR relationships. It offsets those relationships with a larger percentage of project work than most firms take on. "When you have interesting projects coming in and out, it fuels innovation. It fuels creativity," Rutstein says.
Clients have bought into the model. In the wake of the firm's highly acclaimed work on Teva Pharmaceuticals' ParaGard contraceptive, the agency added brands and diversified its therapeutic mix. It got its foot in the door with Amgen, as the lead agency on the Neulasta business. It pushed deeper into the medical-devices category by winning NxStage Medical, which manufacturers home hemodialysis machines. It established itself as a presence in the specialty space by adding ITI (for its Quantum wound therapy) and Onyx (for oncology products). Teva and Alcon remain what Rutstein calls "foundational clients."Rutstein attributes the new relationships—in particular, the Amgen win—to STRIKEFORCE's progressiveness. "Amgen had a corporate mandate to do things differently," he says. "We danced for three years. It wasn't until the ParaGard success that they really took notice." So don't expect the agency to veer down a different path anytime soon. "Our philosophy is 'no excuses' and we live by that. Most healthcare brands deserve so much more than they're getting."

When UFC President Dana White was asked about Bellator's business practices over the weekend he took the opportunity to blast the organization, labeling their approach to signing fighters as "borderline criminal" among other unsavory things. White's anger related specifically to a situation involving bantamweight Tyson Nam who was pursued by the UFC but unable to sign based on a pre-existing deal with Bellator. Frustrating White, Nam had been released by the company but was held up by a "right to match" clause tying him up for the next year.
Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney caught wind of White's comments and didn't dispute the allegations as far as his promotion possessing the ability to match outside offers even if a competitor has been cut. In fact, he figured White would be familiar with the practice considering Zuffa invoked it during negotiations with former Strikeforce champion Muhammed Lawal.
"It's a very, very hypocritical statement," said Rebney on The MMA Hour of White's rant on Bellator's behavior. "We had to go through the exact same process with Zuffa when we signed 'King Mo.'"
"Zuffa released 'King Mo' Lawal on March 27, 2012. They went public with their release, they put it up on their own website, on UFC.com, Dana confirmed the release of 'King Mo' to the media on the exact same day, and then in April, when Bellator looked to sign 'King Mo,' we had to submit our full contract to Zuffa," elaborated Rebney. "We sent it certified mail to their attorneys. Then we had to wait 14 full business days, which is typically 20-to-21 days in total, for them to decide if they were going to match or not going to match — which thankfully they didn't, and we ended up with one of the most exciting and entertaining light heavyweights in the world — but, this is, to the letter, the exact same process."
Making sure to keep things as professional as possible, Rebney wrapped things up by sugarcoating his final bit of criticism.
"It's one thing to call somebody out on doing something. But when you follow the exact same process, the veracity of the comments have to be taken in context with what the real world dictates," he concluded.
Though the relationship between the UFC and Bellator has always been one of relative respect, given the latest developments it appears things could be changing come 2013, especially with Bellator heading to Spike TV in January.

28 October 2006Cosmetic procedures are becoming increasingly sophisticated - Mernie Gilmore at The Daily Express investigates laser hair removal with the latest treatment available at The Harley Medical Group - Aesthera PPx and Computerised Photo - Imaging skin analysis, which uses new technology to provide a detailed look at the condition of your skin....
The Daily Express'The Future Of High-Tech Beauty'Cosmetic procedures are becoming increasingly sophisticated. We check out some state-of-the-art treatments available todayLast Week Demi Moore appeared at an awards ceremony in Beverly Hills showing off a remarkably toned and youthful-looking pair of legs. Rumours circulated that the 43-year-old actress had undergone a form of "knee lift", an operation to remove wrinkly skin around the knee area. Until recently cosmetic surgeons believed that such an operation was unworkable because it would leave obvious scarring. But time has moved on, and what once seemed impossible now proves to be just another part of the body that can successfully be nipped and tucked. It's not just the knees that are benefiting from this progress. In fact, the arsenal of cosmetic treatments designed to give smoothing, anti-ageing or fat-busting results increased every day.
THE NEW SKIN ANALYSISWhat is it?The Harley Medical Group has just launched its Computerised Photo-Imaging Skin Analysis (link to this page) which uses new technology to provide a detailed look at the condition of your skin, highlighting problems you might not otherwise know about.What Happens?A photograph is taken of the epidermis, giving an in-depth reading of your skin's characteristics, including pore size, age spotting, pigmentation and sun damage. The results are then matched with those of 3,500 other women so that you can gauge how your skin compares. The results can then be used to put together a treatment programme that best suits your skin.What does it promise?This is a very comprehensive look at the state of your skin, and can show areas of damage that will not be visible for some time. Sun damage, for example, can show up on one of these scans well before it appears as wrinkles on your face. Acting speedily on these findings helps to delay the signs of ageing even before problems have become visible.What does it cost?The analysis is free, you pay for any further treatment you choose to have.
THE NEW HAIR REMOVALWhat is it?Aesthera Hair Removal combines pneumatic energy and broadband light to get rid of unwanted hair five times more quickly than IPL (intense pulse light) treatments.What happens?The therapist moves the arm of the machine over the area that is being treated. The skin is gently sucked into the tip of the arm to bring it closer to the light before the beam moves over the skin destroying the hair follicles.What does it promise?This technique - unlike IPL hair removal which can be a lengthy and painful process - is relatively pain-free because it uses a lower energy light beam. It is also quicker and can, for example, cover a leg in 20 minutes.What does it cost?From �50 per session.

For the last decade, everyone has been excited about the medical possibilities of stem cells.
Need a new liver? What if we could grow one for you in essentially the same way that you grew your first liver when you were in your mother's womb?
That's the promise of stem cells, that scientists could take an undifferentiated cell, just like the cells that made you up before you were even you, insert your own DNA into it, and direct it to differentiate into a new liver or kidney or heart. Even better, because the new liver has your own DNA, your body's immune system will welcome it as one of its own. In a traditional transplant, your immune system must be suppressed, or it will recognize the new liver as an outsider and "reject" it (that's a euphemism for killing the new organ).
One problem. Those embryonic cells, known as embryonic stem cells, come from only one place: embryos. This fact has made a lot of people uneasy or worse, especially because human embryonic stem cells are derived from aborted embryos. So you can imagine everyone's excitement a few years ago, when scientists were able to take adult cells and turn them into stem cells. These are called induced pluripotent stem cells—"induced" because they didn't start out as stem cells, and "pluripotent," because they have the potential to become many (think "plural") different types of cells.
This achievement eliminated the ethical problems of using aborted embryos. Even better, it could still produce cells that were genetically identical to the person receiving them, thereby avoiding that pesky immune system problem.
So scientists assumed. But sometimes identical genes just aren't enough, as it turns out. Thus transpires another opportunity for us all to learn that genes aren't everything!
"Epigenetic effects" are biological changes in cells that are outside or beyond (that's "epi") of the genes. Throughout my life, my genetic sequence remains the same in every cell of my body. Clearly, however, in different cells and at different ages, those genes are "expressed" differently, meaning that different proteins are produced from the same genes under different conditions. My poor old cells know that I am heading into my mid-30s, despite the fact that their DNA is identical to the DNA of the fresh young cells that I rocked in my 20s.
Sadly, some adult cells induced into becoming stem cells may not be able to forget their real age either. A group in San Diego just published a paper in Nature showing that some types of induced pluripotent stem cells overproduce certain proteins, which allow the immune systems of the animals (mice, in this case) receiving the implanted cells to recognize them as intruders and kill them.
There are other ways of inducing pluripotency, so it's really not the end of this kind of research. But hopefully it's the end of assuming that it's enough to be genetically identical. It's also one more reason to reconsider the use of embryonic stem cells. Even on the cellular level, youth is one thing you just can't fake.
For further reading on this research, see the link to the Nature paper above and check out the New York Times coverage.
For further reading on how scientists became fixated on DNA as a "master molecule," check out the work of some fantastic females from my field and enjoy Evelyn Fox Keller's The Century of the Gene and Lily Kay's Who Wrote the Book of Life? A History of the Genetic Code.

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Oct. 15, 2012) - The Government of Canada will help 60 people with disabilities develop the skills they need to find jobs, announced Deepak Obhrai, Member of Parliament for Calgary East, on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development.
"Our government's top priorities are creating jobs, economic growth and long-term prosperity, and to support Canada's continued economic growth, we must ensure that everyone who wants to work has the opportunity" said Mr. Obhrai. "People with disabilities face particular challenges entering the job market, and that's why partnerships with organizations like the the Prospect Human Services Society are so important."
The Prospect Human Services Society is receiving more than $200,000 through the federal Opportunities Fund for Persons with Disabilities that will provide individuals with job coaching and support services so they can find meaningful employment in the Calgary area.
"We would like to thank the Government of Canada for its continued support for Art Recruits," said Melanie Mitra, Chief Executive Officer of Prospect Human Services, a non-profit organization that manages the project. "We will continue to provide Calgary's employers and mental health population with experiential learning opportunities that develop their employability skills-ones that employers are specifically seeking-through the medium of art."
A call for proposals was launched on October 10, 2012, to identify projects that will help more people with disabilities gain the hands-on experience they need to find jobs. The additional investment of $30 million, as part of Canada's Economic Action Plan 2012, will be dedicated to national projects that connect people with disabilities with jobs in small or medium-sized enterprises. Some of the projects will also promote to employers across Canada the valuable contribution that people with disabilities can make to their businesses and the economy.
Organizations across Canada that have expertise in working with people with disabilities and have the capacity to develop and manage large-scale national projects are invited to apply. This includes, but is not limited to, businesses, not-for-profit organizations, crown corporations and educational institutions. This call for proposals is open until November 16, 2012.
In addition, as part of Economic Action Plan 2012, Minister Finley and the Honourable Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance, announced the Panel on Labour Market Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities. The panel will identify private-sector successes and best practices as well as barriers regarding the participation of people with disabilities in the labour market.
The Government of Canada is improving labour market opportunities for Canadians with disabilities through a wide range of effective policies, programs and services, including the Opportunities Fund and labour market agreements with provinces and territories.

Advent Calendar 2011 - Holiday Food: Chrusciki
Thinking about what food tradition to discuss a childhood memory came to mind.
One of my mother's dear friends was of Polish ancestry. Mrs. Betty introduced us to various types of interesting dishes and treats including chrusciki.
I must admit it took several years to learn how to pronounce this correctly, but that never stopped us from asking when she would be making another batch.
Several weeks before Christmas she would start the routine of gathering ingredients in preparation for days of marathon baking. Everyone in the neighborhood would wait with great anticipation for their very own batch.
One of my fondest memories was when Mrs. Betty invited me into the kitchen to help. There were gales of laughter especially after powder sugar hand prints covered every surface.
Follow this site for detailed information about chrusciki along with a recipe. This particular recipe calls for vodka or whiskey.
I would think Mrs. Betty left that ingredient out of her treats. Or perhaps those were the "adult" batch delivered to our parents after Christmas.

SPRINGFIELD - Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan's plan to abolish the office of lieutenant governor in 2015 advanced Wednesday despite Republican concerns that too many proposed constitutional amendments might be vying for the November ballot.
Madigan's proposed amendment, which now heads to the full House for
consideration, comes in the wake of Scott Lee Cohen's decision to
resign his position as the Democratic lieutenant governor nominee amid allegations of steroid abuse and domestic violence.
Madigan said the Cohen scenario provided "added interest" to his decision to propose abolishing the post, but it's been an idea he's considered for months. "My position is we don't need the office," Madigan said of the lieutenant governor post.
Under Madigan's measure, the attorney general - a post now held by Madigan's daughter, Lisa Madigan - would be next in the line of succession if the governor resigns or dies. The proposed amendment allows for a member of the other party to assume the office if the governor dies or resigns.
Under his plan a lieutenant governor elected this fall would serve a four-year term, then the position would be abolished.
If approved by both houses of the General Assembly, Madigan's measure would go before voters in November along with the proposed recall amendment, an idea championed by Gov. Pat Quinn that would enable Illinoisans to oust a governor from office.
In a letter to Democratic leaders, House Republican leader Tom Cross warned that a "judicious and prioritized approach" is needed to decide which amendments should go before the voters due to restrictions on the number that can appear on the ballot. Other amendments under consideration, for example, include redistricting reform and a progressive income tax.
Meanwhile, state Rep. Lou Lang's proposal that would require candidates for governor and lieutenant governor to run as a team in the primary cleared a House committee Tuesday. Lang, a Skokie Democrat, said his proposal made more sense than completely abolishing the office because it "would solve the problem you've heard recently of candidates not being vetted by political parties."
The lieutenant governor, paid $135,669 a year, commands an office budget of roughly $2.5 million with 29 staff members. While the only constitutional duty is to serve as a substitute governor, the office has been given the tasks of running the Illinois Main Street program, the River Coordinating Council and the Rural Bond Bank of Illinois.
The Democrats have yet to slate a replacement for Cohen despite the throng of candidates who want the job. The party's central committee will make the decision, but its members aren't scheduled to meet until March 15.
Quinn had wanted Iraq war veteran Tammy Duckworth of Hoffman Estates as his running mate, but she said this week she wasn't interested in the job.
In other election news, state Sen. Deanna Demuzio of Carlinville advanced a proposal that would move the primary election from February to the third Tuesday in March. Similar legislation passed through a House committee Wednesday.

White Peach and Cantaloupe Bruschetta
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: For me summer is all about picnics and barbecues. Over the years I have been to and hosted more than I can count. A staple at many of these summer feasts is bruschetta. Its easy, light and can be prepared ahead of time which cuts down on food prep time allowing more time to spend with friends and family. Me being me, I like to experiment with the classics, switch out core ingredients and see if I can come up with something equally as good or perhaps, even better. This is one of those recipes. It can easily be adapted as a condiment for fish, converted into a salsa or eaten as is with a really nice piece of crunchy baguette. —nycnomad
Serves: many
Small-Medium Cantaloupe
White Peaches
teaspoon Dried Thyme Leaves
pinch Ground Cloves
pinch Ground Black Cardamom
Cloves of Star Anise (whole)
Lime (Grated rind and juice)
cup Olive Oil
cup Sherry Vinegar (Aged)
tablespoon Coarse Sea Salt
Black Pepper (to taste)
Shallot (optional)
- Finely dice the peaces and the cantaloupe and place in a nonreactive bowl.
- Add the thyme, salt, olive oil, vinegar, and spices. For the star anise, just break off 2 or 3 cloves from a star and add them, as is, into the mix. They are added for their fragrance so they really should not be ground, as this would then overpower the dish. Mix with a spoon.
- Next add the grated rind and juice from a lime and stir again.
- You can, at this point, peel and chop a small shallot if you wish to add it. I have left this out because 1) I am allergic and 2) I find that the recipe is perfect without it. I leave that up to you. You can always add it later if you find the dish needs a bit more zing.
- Cover the bowl and allow the mixture to stand for about 30 mins at room temperature or 3hrs-overnight in the refrigerator.
- When you are about ready to serve, thinly slice a baguette or the bread of your choice and pop it under the broiler (about 6" from the flame). Toast until lightly golden and serve with the peach melon bruschetta.

Chicago You know what they say about eating in Chicago: "When you love something, set it free... or do it competitively for a free T-shirt... or maybe a gift card? Or... both???" For those of you interested in the latter, we've compiled this list of the 11 best eating challenges in town, complete with all the deets on what you have to take down -- and what you win if you do.

The Challenger Burger at Rudy's Bar & Grille is a burger inasmuch as the slimy banker your mother married is your new father.

Bacon Bomb
Paddy Long's (address and info) Lakeview Time Limit: 45 minutes
Prize: A T-shirt, a spot on the wall of fame, and a comped meal

Po'Boy Challenge + Jumbo Fatso Challenge
Fatso's Last Stand (address and info) Ukrainian Village Time Limit: 45 minutes
Prize: A T-shirt, your name on a plaque, a comped meal, and a $50 gift card to Lockdown Bar & Grill

You'll have to finish off a pound of fries and a 32oz soda as well.

Prize: Heartburn, alongside a sense of satisfaction
When an eating challenge has "911" in its name, you know it will definitely kill you... oh, uh, or like, um, be lots of fun? Or something? Either way, this towering creation features 3lbs of beef, nine patties, and eleven slices of cheese.
The Slinger
Diner Grill (address and info) Lakeview Time Limit: None
Prize: A certificate!
The Slinger at Diner Grill isn't really much of challenge to finish (it's a car-wreck of hash browns, eggs, chili, onions, cheese, and hamburger patties), but look at the picture of it above and tell us you don't think that would be hard to eat? Yup.

Rockstar Challenge
ROCKS Lakeview (address and info) Lakeview Time Limit: 30 minutes
Prize: A T-shirt, recognition in the hall of fame, and a comped meal

The whole meal weighs 4lbs.
Big Timmy Challenge
Timothy O'Toole's (address and info) Near North Side Time Limit: None
Prize: An O'Toole's T-shirt
The fact that this challenge is actually doable for mere mortals also makes it great for, you know, actually enjoying your meal.

XXX Hot Wings Challenge
Jake Melnick's Corner Tap (address and info) River North Time Limit: None

Many programming languages have well defined standards for documenting source code. These standards are useful in that they allow developers to add comments to code in a uniform format. Furthermore, it is possible to use tools to extract the documentation from an entire application's source code and use it to automatically produce project technical documentation in a fraction of the time it would take to manually produce the documentation.
Programming languages such as Java have had code documentation standards for many years. The Java system is called JavaDoc, and allows developers to easily create HTML format documentation from project source code.
With the introduction of the .NET Framework and the new version of the Visual Basic programming language - Visual Basic.NET, Microsoft included some form of source code documentation standards - XML Comments...
