Dizziness is a term that is often used to describe two different symptoms: light-headedness and vertigo.
Light-headedness is a feeling like you might faint.
Vertigo is a feeling that you are spinning or moving, or that the world is spinning around you. See also: Vertigo-associated disorders
Light-headedness - dizzy; Loss of balance; Vertigo
Most causes of dizziness are not serious, and either quickly get better on their own or are easily treated.
Light-headedness occurs when your brain does not get enough blood. This may occur if:
Light-headedness may also occur if you have the flu, low blood sugar, a cold, or allergies.
More serious conditions that can lead to light-headedness include:
If any of these serious disorders is present, you will usually also have symptoms like chest pain, a feeling of a racing heart, loss of speech, change in vision, or other symptoms.
Vertigo may be due to:
Other causes of light-headedness or vertigo may include:
If you tend to get light-headed when you stand up:
If you have vertigo, the following tips can help prevent your symptoms from becoming worse:
Avoid activities such as driving, operating heavy machinery, and climbing until 1 week after your symptoms disappear. A sudden dizzy spell during these activities can be dangerous.
Call your local emergency number (such as 911) or go to an emergency room if you are dizzy and have:
Call your health care provider for an appointment if you have:
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, including:
Tests that may be done include:
Your health care provider may prescribe medications to help you feel better, including:
Surgery may be needed if you have Meniere's disease.
If you have a cold, the flu, or other viral illness, drink plenty of fluids to prevent getting dehydrated.

This Page Six Magazine "Pup Culture" story about how to best pamper your pooch is a hilarious not-inside joke of sorts. A dog psychic, really? NOW? Not even Vogue is suggesting that.
A shame there's no mention of this Doggie Bones costume, which is a mere $23 and has a glow-in-the-dark bone pattern to turn your puppy into a skeleton dog. Very Donnie Darko, post apocalyptic-chic. A worthy investment in your BFF's future-fashion.

Another offseason, another big-time transfer for the Florida men's basketball team.
Former Rutgers guard Eli Carter announced on his Twitter account Tuesday that he's attending Florida, a day after visiting the UF campus. The transfer will be made official pending paperwork which should be completed by the end of the week.
"I'm excited for him," said St. Anthony's (N.J.) head coach Bob Hurley, who coached Carter in high school. "He's going into a situation where he'll be able to continue to develop as a player. He loved the visit. He thinks this is going to be a good situation for him."
A 6-foot-2 sophomore guard, Carter averaged 14.9 points per game for Rutgers last season before it ended in mid-February with a broken leg. A two-year starter, Carter scored a career-high 31 points against Florida as a freshman in Rutgers' 85-83 double-overtime win.
"They're getting a guy who is a veteran, a late developer who has his best basketball ahead of him," Hurley said.
Hurley said he thinks Carter will benefit from playing under UF coach Billy Donovan, similar to the way another Rutgers transfer, guard Mike Rosario, improved in his two years in Gainesville. If there's a knock on Carter early in his career, it's been his tendency to force shots and drives that aren't there. His career assist-to-turnover ratio is 2.1 to 2.8.
"Billy could certainly tighten up his game," Hurley said. "When you play for a losing team, there is a different approach when it comes to shot selection compared to when you are part of a team with more talent around you. You don't have to take on that responsibility. Eli can do more by doing less (shooting)."
Under NCAA rules, Carter would have to sit out next season, though he could apply for a waiver to be eligible to play in 2013-14 due to the Mike Rice scandal at Rutgers. Rice was fired after video evidence was released that showed him physically abusing players in practice.
Carter's father, Dale Carter, said Tuesday that his son has already started the waiver application through Rutgers. From there, the application will move on to the NCAA offices in Indianapolis.
Dale Carter accompanied his son on the trip to Gainesville.
"He loved everything about it, the school, the facilities," Carter said. "And he felt a real bond with the guys on the team. They approached him and made him feel like family."
If granted a waiver, Carter could potentially play right away in a three-guard starting lineup that could include senior Scottie Wilbekin and incoming McDonald's All-American freshman Kasey Hill.
Carter joins forward Dorian Finney-Smith (Virginia Tech) and center Damontre Harris (South Carolina) as transfers on UF's roster. The Gators have had success with transfers of late. Center Vernon Macklin (Georgetown) helped lead UF to the first of three straight Elite Eights in 2010-11. Rosario averaged a team-high 12.5 points this past season and played for back-to-back Elite Eight teams in 2012 and 2013.

Coke sells close to 2 billion servings a day of their products.
Servings is a fuzzy term because different people say 8 oz, 12 oz or 16 oz, is a serving size.
That's before you even get into that the 500ml, 350ml, 280ml, 250ml and 180ml size.
Lord only knows how many cans a day they sell, but it's a lot, and they change designs frequently.

Throughout the ages, there have been many unanswered questions that continue to baffle the human race. Who built Stonehenge? Is there life on other planets? Why does the TSA make me place my liquids in a clear sealable baggie?
Unfortunately, even the experts at the TSA were not able to solve all of the world's mysteries, but they were able to crack the code on a few.
For your viewing pleasure, we filmed some of our experts explaining a couple of TSA's most frequently asked questions from the flying public. We have others and will post those in the future but for today we have:
- Why do you screen the elderly and little children?
(streaming .wmv)
- Why can't I bring certain liquids through the checkpoint? Why must they be in a bag?
(streaming .wmv)
- Why do we scan Shoes? Why do we have to take them off?
(streaming .wmv)
You'll notice there's no mention of good old shoe bomber Richard Reid yet. That's because the current rule is not in place only because of one of the more famous residents of the Supermax in Kansas. No, it's all about intel and us knowing that terrorists are still interested in hiding explosives, detonators and other items we really don't want in the cabin of an airplane in their shoes.
Don't forget, we want your feedback but it has to be in the right place because we can't move comments around on this blog yet. Post shoe comments and questions in that link, post liquids issues and scientific research proving us wrong in the liquids page. For anyone interested in discussing screening the elderly and children, feel free to comment right here.
Finally, you'll be happy to know that Kip does not own shares in the plastic baggie business and he is fond of the elderly and small children. I'm also willing to bet you wouldn't even have to take your shoes off at his house. Enjoy...

It's harder to successfully karate-chop something than the movies make it look.

What are heart valves?
The heart consists of four chambers–two atria (upper chambers) and two ventricles (lower chambers). There is a valve through which blood passes before leaving each chamber of the heart. The valves prevent the backward flow of blood. They act as one-way inlets of blood on one side of a ventricle and one-way outlets of blood on the other side of a ventricle. The four heart valves include the following:
- Tricuspid valve. Located between the right atrium and the right ventricle.
- Pulmonary valve. Located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.
- Mitral valve. Located between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
- Aortic valve. Located between the left ventricle and the aorta.
How do the heart valves function?
As the heart muscle contracts and relaxes, the valves open and close, letting blood flow into the ventricles and out to the body at alternate times. The following is a step-by-step illustration of how the valves function normally in the left ventricle:
- After the left ventricle contracts, the aortic valve closes and the mitral valve opens to allow blood to flow from the left atrium into the left ventricle.
- The left atrium contracts and more blood flows into the left ventricle.
- When the left ventricle contracts, the mitral valve closes and the aortic valve opens so blood flows into the aorta and out into the systemic circulation to the rest of the body.
What is heart valve disease?
Heart valve disorders can arise from two main types of malfunctions:
- Regurgitation (or leakage of the valve). The valve(s) does not close completely, causing the blood to flow backward through the valve. The heart is forced to pump more blood on the next beat, making it work harder.
- Stenosis (or narrowing of the valve). The valve(s) opening becomes narrowed, limiting the flow of blood out of the ventricles or atria. The heart is forced to pump blood with increased force in order to move blood through the narrowed or stiff (stenotic) valve(s).
Heart valves can develop both malfunctions at the same time (regurgitation and stenosis). Also, more than one heart valve can be affected at the same time. When heart valves fail to open and close properly, the implications for the heart can be serious, possibly hampering the heart's ability to pump blood adequately through the body. Heart valve problems are one cause of heart failure.
What are the symptoms of heart valve disease?
Mild heart valve disease may not cause any symptoms. The following are the most common symptoms of heart valve disease. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may vary depending on the type of heart valve disease present and may include:
- Chest pain
- Palpitations caused by irregular heartbeats
- Migraine headaches
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Low or high blood pressure, depending on which valve disease is present
- Shortness of breath
- Abdominal pain due to an enlarged liver (if there is tricuspid valve malfunction)
Symptoms of heart valve disease may resemble other medical conditions and problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
What causes heart valve damage?
The causes of heart valve damage vary depending on the type of disease present, and may include the following:
- A history of rheumatic fever, a condition characterized by painful fever, inflammation, and swelling of the joints. Rheumatic fever is now rare in North America due to effective antibiotic treatment.
- Damage resulting from a heart attack
- Damage resulting from an infection
- Changes in the heart valve structure due to the aging process
- Congenital birth defect
Syphilis, a disease characterized by progressive symptoms if not treated. Syphilis is a sexually-transmitted infection that is now rare in North America due to effective treatment. Symptoms may include small, painless sores that disappear, followed by a skin rash, enlarged lymph nodes, headache, aching bones, loss of appetite, fever, and fatigue.
Myxomatous degeneration, an inherited connective tissue disorder that weakens the heart valve tissue.
How is heart valve disease diagnosed?
Heart valve disease may be suspected if the heart sounds heard through a stethoscope are abnormal. This is usually the first step in diagnosing a heart valve disease. A characteristic heart murmur (abnormal sounds in the heart due to turbulent blood flow across the valve) can often indicate valve regurgitation or stenosis. To further define the type of valve disease and extent of the valve damage, doctors may use any of the following diagnostic procedures:
- Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). A test that records the electrical activity of the heart, shows abnormal rhythms (arrhythmias or dysrhythmias), and can sometimes detect heart muscle damage.
- Echocardiogram (echo). A noninvasive test that uses sound waves to evaluate the heart's chambers and valves. The echo sound waves create an image on a monitor as an ultrasound transducer is passed over the heart.
- Chest X-ray. A diagnostic test that uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film. An X-ray can show enlargement in any area of the heart.
- Cardiac catheterization. This diagnostic procedure involves the insertion of a tiny, hollow tube (catheter) through a large artery in the leg or arm leading to the heart in order to provide images of the heart and blood vessels. This procedure is helpful in determining the type and extent of certain valve disorders.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body.
What is the treatment for heart valve disease?
In some cases, the only treatment for heart valve disease may be careful medical supervision. However, other treatment options may include medication, surgery to repair the valve, or surgery to replace the valve. Specific treatment will be determined by your doctor based on:
- Your age, overall health, and medical history
- Extent of the disease
- The location of the valve
- Your signs and symptoms
- Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- Expectations for the course of the disease
- Your opinion or preference
Treatment varies, depending on the type of heart valve disease, and may include one, or a combination of, the following:
- Medication. Medications are not a cure for heart valve disease, but in many cases are successful in the treatment of symptoms caused by heart valve disease. These medications may include:
Medications such as beta-blockers, digoxin, and calcium channel blockers to reduce symptoms of heart valve disease by controlling the heart rate and helping to prevent abnormal heart rhythms.
Medications to control blood pressure, such as diuretics (medications that remove excess water from the body by increasing urine output) or vasodilators (medications that relax the blood vessels, decreasing the force against which the heart must pump) to ease the work of the heart.
- Surgery. Surgery may be necessary to repair or replace the malfunctioning valve(s). Surgery may include:
Heart valve repair. In some cases, surgery on the malfunctioning valve can help alleviate symptoms. Examples of heart valve repair surgery include remodeling abnormal valve tissue so that the valve functions properly, or inserting prosthetic rings to help narrow a dilated valve. In many cases, heart valve repair is preferable, because a person's own tissues are used.
Heart valve replacement. When heart valves are severely malformed or destroyed, they may need to be replaced with an entirely new replacement valve. Replacement valve mechanisms fall into two categories: tissue (biologic) valves, which include animal valves and donated human aortic valves, and mechanical valves, which can consist of metal, plastic, or another artificial material.
Another treatment option that is less invasive than valve repair or replacement surgery is balloon valvuloplasty, a nonsurgical procedure in which a special catheter (hollow tube) is threaded into a blood vessel in the groin and guided into the heart. The catheter, which contains a deflated balloon, is inserted into the narrowed heart valve. Once in place, the balloon is inflated to stretch the valve open, and then removed. This procedure is sometimes used to treat pulmonary stenosis and, in some cases, aortic stenosis. There are also some special cases where a new valve can be inserted through the groin into the heart and opened up with a balloon like a stent. This is called total aortic valve replacement.

Report by Lou Stoppard on 25 June 2013.
Giorgio Armani's 'Digital' themed Emporio Armani collection was a futuristic vision of clinical white sportswear, space-age accessories - including a particularly kooky pair of google glasses that completely covered the top half of the wearer's head - and graphic geometric shapes. These could have been costumes from some sci-fi film, with some models resembling scientists in a lab and others looking like astronauts ready to fight space crime - a perfect symbol of high fashion's strange view of the web.

Report by Kiki Georgiou on 3 March 2013.
The women that walked out of the mist seemed battle worn with their warrior Mohawks tousled, their military jackets frayed, their collars torn off. The palette matched the faded frescoes on the walls of the Espace Vendome: grey, brown, khaki, only a flash of purple revealing itself on the lining of a jacket.

Yes. All counties and local governments have an office charged with monitoring and conducting elections. In some jurisdictions, this entity may have a different name, such as Board of Registrars, but it has the same authority and responsibilities as a Board of Elections.Do state governments have Boards of Elections?
Some states have offices with the title Board of Elections. However, these state-level offices are usually established for the purpose of elections enforcement and the investigation of complaints. They do not have the breadth of responsibility for conducting elections typically associated with county and local boards of elections. In addition, all but three states have a Secretary of State with some elections oversight authority.Do voters have to register every year or every election?
No. Once a voter is registered, he or she is permanently registered and will remain on the voter list until the voter is removed due to death or relocating to a new voting district.

John Markowicz, leader of effort to save sub base, dies at 68
John C. Markowicz, a naval officer and leader in the region's economic development efforts and the fight to save the Naval Submarine Base from closure, died Friday of brain cancer.
Markowicz, 68, was a fixture in economic development circles in southeastern Connecticut in several capacities, including serving as executive director of the Southeastern Connecticut Enterprise Region (SeCTer).
In 2005, Markowicz chaired the local Subase Realignment Coalition in battling the Pentagon's proposal to close the sub base. The federal Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC) eventually removed the Groton base from the closure list.
Several local officials who worked with Markowicz on the effort to reverse the base closure recommendation credited his leadership and tenacity for the success.
"He was the glue that held it together," said Denny Hicks, a coalition member and fellow Waterford resident. "He had been through it two times before. We were the novices and he was the one who planned the strategy and chaired the group in saving the sub base."
"The entire region owes John a huge debt of gratitude for the work he did on the sub base," said Tony Sheridan, former Waterford first selectman and current president of the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut. Sheridan recalled being in a room with Markowicz, then-Gov. M. Jodi Rell and then-U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman when the Pentagon's recommendation to close the Groton sub base was announced.
"We were shocked," Sheridan said. "John was great at harnessing the local energy to keep up the fight on the home front."
Former Republican U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons said the group at that meeting in Markowicz's office at SeCTer was "stunned," but within minutes — the time it took to walk across the street to a press conference — they became resolved to fight and to win.
"The thing I remember most about John was his tenacious ability to focus all of his energies on the problem at hand and to bring his background and experience to bear in a very concise fashion."
On Aug. 24, 2005, the group celebrated victory at the Hampton Inn in Groton, when the BRAC Commission voted 7-1 to spare the Groton base.
But Markowicz and others did not stop working on efforts to keep the Groton sub base open. The state congressional delegation won support for $150 million in infrastructure investment in the sub base since 2005 to better position the base.
Connecticut became the first state to fully fund a construction project on a defense base, with $7.6 million in construction improvements in 2009.
"He played a very, very critical role in formulating a defense for the region not to downsize or realign the sub base," said Mark Oefinger, chairman of the SeCTer board of directors and Groton's town manager. "I can't speak enough about the role that John played during those various defenses."
State Sen. Andrea Stillman, D-Waterford, a member of the coalition, credited Markowicz with lobbying for improvements to the base to help protect it from future possible closure.
"He made it clear to the Navy that these are assets you don't throw away," Stillman said. "Because of his contacts in Washington through his Navy career, he knew what would make the base more attractive. He really led the way in reinforcing the importance of the sub base to the region."
The Groton base has a $4.5 billion annual economic impact on the state's economy.
Markowicz attended his final coalition meeting nearly a year ago at the conference center at Fort Trumbull when members speculated on a possible future base closing process. After the meeting, Markowicz said he was pleased to see many of the people who had worked to save the base still active, but he couldn't be sure their efforts to improve the base would help it to survive a future BRAC process.
Stillman and others acknowledged that Markowicz could be difficult and demanding at times, but she said that trait was necessary in dealing with the sub base and other economic development efforts. His attention to detail was essential to the success, she said.
"He was at times almost a bulldog," Stillman said. "He wanted to make sure things were done properly and there was clarity of purpose. He cared very much for this region. When you worked on a project with John, you always felt it was in good hands."
A career in Navy, beyond
Markowicz was born in Lynn, Mass., on March 4, 1944, and grew up in Salem, Mass. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1965 and launched a career in nuclear submarines, completing Nuclear Power School in Bainbridge, Md., prototype training in Windsor Locks, Conn., and the Naval Submarine School in Groton.
He rose to the rank of captain and earned several citations during his naval career. In 1976, he left active duty service and continued his naval service through the Naval Reserve. He participated in and commanded several Reserve units before retiring after 34 years of honorable service.
In 1976, Markowicz joined David and Muriel Hinkle at the defense contracting company Sonalysts Inc. and moved to Waterford. He became chief operations officer and saw the company grow from six employees to more than 400 with offices located throughout the country.
Markowicz left Sonalysts in 1994 and became involved in economic development efforts in southeastern Connecticut. He worked with Tech Conn and Sea Tech to stir business development throughout the region.
In 1997, he joined SeCTer, an organization he helped to found, and served as executive director until his illness forced him to step aside several months ago. His community service included membership to the Waterford Nuclear Advisory Board, Lawrence + Memorial Hospital Corporators, and the parish council of St. Joseph Church, where he was a longtime parishioner.
Markowicz was a member of the state Nuclear Energy Advisory Council and served as chairman from 2001 to 2005.
He is survived by his wife, Dolores "Laurie," son John C. Markowicz Jr. and his family, and daughter Karen Lynn Noyes and her family.
Markowicz Jr. serves in the Navy, lives in Arlington, Va., and works at the Pentagon. He was selected for the rank of captain in September. Karen Lynn Noyes is a lieutenant commander in the Navy Nurse Corps.
Laurie Markowicz said Saturday that when she told her 91-year-old mother that John had died, her mother sighed and said, "Such a good person."
"I can't think of a better description," she said of her late husband.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday at St. Joseph Church in New London. A private entombment will be in St. Mary Cemetery. Calling hours will be held from 2 to 6 p.m. Wednesday at Byles Memorial Home, 99 Huntington St., New London.

The source code for the Spika open source mobile messaging system for iOS and Android is now available to developers. Spika is a fully-fledged social networking app under MIT license.
Spika can be used to develop messaging apps, mobile social networks, or mobility solutions — in fact, any other app that requires live communication feature. The software employs various open source technologies including CouchDB, Silex, and Vagrant and is meant to reduce costs of development.
Creator of Spika Ken Yasue asserts that there isn't a similar complete open source system offering apps for iOS and Android with a backend solution included.
"It is quite hard to start from scratch, so our goal is to enable young developers to learn to code with existing examples while experienced developers don't have to reinvent the wheel but just adjust the existing solution," he said.
With designs to make Spika have a similar effect that Wordpress had on the web development industry, Yasue started his project in-house while working for a mobile development company but then gave it over to the development community, where it benefitted from input from "famous" Japanese PHP developer @yando, who worked on the backend.

Never hire your friend who likes to run garage sales Do not go with the cheapest company (there will be hidden fees or they will sell your items for pennies on the dollar so they can wrap the sale up quickly and profit from your items later)
Do you really have the time, energy and patience do it by yourself?

When to hire an Estate Sale Service I used to think only "rich" people had Estate Sales and that is ABSOLUTELY not true. An Estate sale can mean simply that the contents of the house are being sold… that's it! Our clients are surprised that many times you will make the most money off of little ticket items and not the "big" expensive stuff.
This is a common misconception so don't throw ANYTHING away. Let the Estate Sale experts (us) determine what will sell and what won't. Remember somebody has to be in the market for what you're selling in the timeframe you need it sold. Estate Sales typically refer to sales where the entire contents of the house are being sold and the home is going to be left empty, generally for the purpose of making the house ready for sale.
Hire a company (like us 🙂 if you want this to be a quick and painless process. As a "shopper" you go to a sale and you see the items as "stuff". You value those items with no emotional attachment (besides how badly you want it).
When you are liquidating your own personal items and things that you have a personal history with you, You see the items completely differently. How do you put a price tag on a crocheted baby blanket when it was yours or your sisters?
You don't and that's why you want a professional's help to step in and guide you through this journey. Let us help you find the best way to respect the memories and still move on… Call us for a Free Consultation:

While I'm grateful to U.S. Sens. Bob Casey and Pat Toomey for acting with common sense by joining the majority in support of gun reform, it's shameful that a small bloc of senators was able to derail this life-saving legislation.
I'm one of the estimated 88 percent of Pennsylvanians who support background checks for all gun sales. Background checks are just common sense. Statistics show that they work. In states where background checks are required for handguns, far fewer women are shot to death by their partners.
The people most excited by the Senate's failure are criminals — because they'll continue to be able to obtain guns without restraint.
Law-abiding citizens should not fear or oppose background checks for gun purchases. While it's true that no set of laws can completely eradicate gun violence, that's no reason not to enact sensible reforms.
No law can be 100 percent effective. If we were to hold every law to that unreasonable standard, then we might as well eliminate laws against speeding, drunken driving, stealing, and so on.
Let's keep urging our legislators to pass common-sense gun reforms. No one should rest while 33 Americans continue to be murdered with guns every day.

This appeared in Financial Chronicle...
I am not someone who takes sides easily and jumps to conclusions. But, being a woman who lives side by side to several other breast cancer fighters/survivors, this post hurt me somewhere. If we leave aside who she is and how significantly her body has been talked about. She is another woman, who has kids and a partner. It won't come to you as a surprise that she also wants to live, who wouldn't after seeing her own mother falling prey to the clutches of cancer? She went public herself before media could chop down on a very sensitive issue and put her on spot for what--- taking her own decision?
I wish: at least you did a better job at being sensitive, wise and above all, being a good human being. You are a writer, you embed thoughts in others, like me. And I would want them to be pure, not like masala bhajias. I can get get them anywhere on Indian streets, why read Shobha De?
Totally disagree with your views on this post. What Angelina does with her body is totally her choice and being a woman I can say it must not have been an easy choice.
Extremist please alter your expectations.One reads Shobha De because she is spicy as your metaphor says,'masala bhajias'.If you want pure,unadulterated thoughts read someone else.The fun in catching up with Shobha is when one is in a relaxed mood looking for something catchy, stuff that is easy to read and easy to forget.This isn't the platform for deep philosophical insights.
@Miss M: To you it might be easy to forget and I am happy for you. But for those who do have cancer affecting their lives, not so easy.THINK!? And as far as my insights are concerned, they are aimed at the writer, period.
I do enjoy her other posts and could not agree on this at all. So why not voice my opinion, like you did?
You could just not let go, not really in relaxed mood, are you?
1) Huh? Since when did Angie have a "famous cleavage"? If anything, she is known for her pout and her skin and that's where it ends. So your so-called Hollywood pop culture facts are wrong.
2) Completely disagree with the final analysis. It is far braver to remove these so-called famous boobs, after all.
This is one article where I feel like the author disagreed with a celebrity's point of view, for the sake of it, and just to argue. And not wanting to provide any really enlightening argument to the contrary... sad.
Are Kaiser and Schumi siblings? They are both so so so adorable.
@Extremist:You ended your first comment with a poser:Why read Shobha De?I was only responding to that.Just because you're in pain due to Cancer and because of the havoc it creates please don't think everyone else is without grief.Do remember everyone alive is suffering from a kind of 'cancer'. It may necessarily not be the medical kind.So let us not get into the race of whose grief is more?My answer illustrates my mood.
@M: How I wish, I could say: I am not interested so something else can entertain your "vella" life, or you can go get one!
@Extremist:I refuse to respond to zilch.
Ms De
since you put in your views, ill share mine as well. From what I read it was a good 87% to 5% and jolie's boobs are hardly something worth talking about. Plus my husband seems to think its a great idea. For now she can control how big or small she wants them and how perky or not they should look.
I'll all out supporting her will to live longer having been around women that dont have the same choices or options as she does. Way to go Jolie!!!
Incredibly cruel and insensitive column revealing what an ugly person the writer is. What has your life meant in comparison to Jolie's? What have you achieved, other than writing trashy columns and books? Only possible because you married rich. I always felt vaguely disgusted with myself for reading this column, thank you for the push to stop completely. You are the classic example of how an attractive exterior can cover much ugliness.
@aa:before you pounce on me let me state I hold no brief for Shobhaa De.
But in the spirit of being fair.Have you realised the ugliness in your own words?Atleast you have noticed the writer's 'attractive exterior'.In your case we don't even know.Ah! that was deliberate to let you know people usually make personal statements when they have no argument.
Yes, I fully recognize them in the hope (futile I am sure) that she realizes how it feels to be subjected to cruelty. I'm no AJ, but would never say such insensitive things to or about anybody, the only exception being when such terrible behavior is on display. I've always seen the more cruelty goes unchecked, the more it grows. And now I depart from this URL, thankfully for good. There are always "mean girls" clubs in the world, you enjoy your membership, I'm so glad I never joined.
@aa:sensitive soul...you come here,say 'mean' things and while going you say you were not here.If not accepting your truth soothes you.So be it!
great post and superb thinking; i can't add more

Wonder if boobs is all there is to a woman's life? And no pun intended here as my question is not to the brave and admirable Angelinaben but to our own genius Shobhaben!

You are most welcome to share your thoughts on various topics. Participate in this brand new concept and stay happy.
I think Shobhaa does not want to acknowledge the seriousness of cancer and death. Just because AJ is a celebrity, the truth does not change. She is trying to select life over false pride and that is quite applaudable.
I guess not everyone is privilege enough to know the ground reality!!!
So you are mum on IPL's adventures. Are you trying to protect Nita Ambani's Preity Zinta's Shetty's, Soovar Khan's (SRK) and others bastards who have destroyed this game for cheap bucks.
I was huge fan of both Gavaskar and Shastri but the way these two creatures have become mouthpiece of BCCI for quick bucks - It's sickening. Maraathi people show their greed wherever they go...Bullshit.
This is an unusually stupid blog post. I live with cancer every day and RS hell. I wish I'd done what AJ did years ago before it spread.
This post of ours was sick to read. I hope you get your head checked.

"the dichotomy of a mammocentric society-dazzled by adipose tissue"
honestly being a woman I don't understand this unjustified fascination with the mammary glands and there are reasons (irritating bra straps, sweat build up and in case you forgot remember how they hurt during puberty??). Frankly I think a woman would find her kidney dearer than her lumps. Can you honestly imagine a choice of breasts over kidneys, picture that dialysis set up. I am not particularly interested in the feminist argument but really some common sense please.
Wow. Truly dumbfounded.. I am assuming between real breasts and cancer, one should choose the former. Wow.
It is not cheating death or pre empt it. You said that we Indians believe in destiny. If it is so why do we visit hospitals and why there is anything called preparation for exams etc. if it is destiny. So please dont bring destiny argument. And she is doing it for her children who need a mother. Some people who just drool over figures, beauty and clothes wont understand certain basic things.
I have been reading your blog for a long while now, and for the first time, I thought a post was .... completely stupid. You had no clear, valid points to make. Nor did you say anything more than repeating 'breats' quite a bit. In all honesty, the one thought that popped into my head was 'Wow, if all these best authors write this bad... it's the proof writer / editor that should be congratulated on the books success!' Did you not even remotely consider the possibility that ending your post with 'I so wish she had hung on to her lovely breasts. And taken her chances. Like millions of other women . Somehow, I find that the braver option.' is sure to elicit a LOT of brickbats from those who have seen cancer, up close and personal? Come on, you cannot be that silly!
As people mentioned above in comment - masala writing is expected of you - but this was just crass and incredibly backward.

As many opined, I do agree that this post seems too insensitive to somebody's serious issue...while we could write, talk n argue pros n cons, the person who has undergone knows the reality. May be as a celebrity she can be a topic of discussion but need not ridicule her decisions regarding health care.
After all this fame can fade anyday...its the real she who has to fight n survive. Had she kept her breasts, who knows the same shobhaade wld conclude "wish she was braver to get them removed...she din't want risk her fame" :P
Usually men go crazy over boobs...be it desi or videshi...Now I see women too go openly about boobs. I guess Mrs De went out of topics and blogged about Angelina's boobies....let me go on her own, onwed,infected boobs...Who do we think we are suggesting her alternatives on her mastectomy...I can understand,writers having bad days.
I am shocked at how uncultured and how dense you are, not only as a human being Shobhaa, but also as a writer. Who the F*** cares and fixates that much on Angelina Jolie's breasts to the point that them being gone affects your life and deepens your stance as an idiot? Clearly, only you. Jolie may have had the option to keep them around longer, or to get a double mastectomy. Being that her mother passed away from cancer and that she has a high risk, the more brave option was to remove them -- not to keep them and keep wondering when the hell the cancer may develop and become malignant or uncontrollable. Furthermore, you seem to think her work as an actress and as a global philanthropist seem to rest on your so called fabricated foundation that you think her breasts are. Could you be any more out of sync with reality? It is writers and people like you who give the media a bad name - it seems as though you need to brush up on your education and remove yourself from the delusional bubble you've managed to trap yourself in. I feel sorry for you.

1. This is so stupid. Next time do some research on breast cancer. So what, Ange should've consulted you before she made this drastic decision should she?
2. Aishwarya Rai is often referred to as the most beautiful woman in the world. never Ange. Why is it that the first people to bring down indian women, are other indian women? Jealousy?
3. This just shows how shallow and pathetic you are, and i sincerely doubt Brad Pitt shares your opinions. Ones health is a far greater priority than one's outer appearance.
4. You once commented that you only write about one's professional/public opinions. Well this is neither her professional life, nor is it any way relevant to the public. Just shows that you're using your column to be a bitch.
Stop this hammering on us saying whole world says Angelina is beauty goddess. There are thousands of angels come in hollywood and fashion world. She is at that position because of her devotion for acting, taking social responsibilities. This kind hype really killed Parveen, Jia and so many fashion models for making their life miserable.
While I liked the "tongue in cheek "kind of article by Shobha on Angeline Jolie, I was perplexed to read the comments of so many blaming her for insensivity shown by her. Angeline jolie is a seasoned campaigner and she is no spring chicken. She used her famous tits in the show business to reach the top and when it come to the matter of life and death and living longer, the chose to sacrifice her boobs. That is where the story ends.. Now let us spare a thought for Brad pitt...
Let us not forget that the gods believe in nothing
Gosh how insenstive of you. There is a time and place and this aint the place to bitch about boobs. Its probably becuase of women like you that models are coerced into breast enlargements and all thier esteem is centered around the size od them boobs rather than thier IQ.
Would you say the same, should your dear daughter be struck with the C word? would you tell her, "oh dear hang on to them boobs, or your life has no meaning? so what if you die and leave your child motherless"
you are an IDIOT!!
it's little bit weird but she created seen like she did sacrifice something like that (and implanted new artificial Brest)

Cloud Integration Platform-as-a-Service company Cloud Elements has announced Documents Hub, a "one-to-many" integration platform service. This developer tool provides a single API to integrate Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, Sky Drive, and Microsoft SharePoint — all through a uniform set of REST API calls.
The suggestion here is that developers can now connect to an entire category of services such as documents, CRM, marketing and accounting, etc. There is a single console to provision, integrate, monitor, and maintain these services. Additional document and file services will regularly be added to the Documents Hub, including support early next year for Amazon S3 and Rackspace Files.
The firm says that to date, developers of SaaS applications have had to write a custom, one-off integration to each document service, which obviously takes up development time to integrate them all. The Cloud Elements Documents Hub allows developers to provision and integrate services within their specific environments.
The Cloud Elements singular dashboard offers automated monitoring and innovative tagging for account tracking and interoperability between services (e.g., attach, store, and send documents and files).
The Cloud Elements Documents Hub is free for developers to integrate into their applications and use in support of up to five customers. Developers can access the service using their GitHub account. Subscription plans begin at $99 per month.

Here's a recap brought to you by Matador of today's finals of the Nike Damn Am from Huntington Beach. Based on the level of skating it was hard to tell this was an am contest. The future is looking bright with guys like Carlos Ribeiro, Alex Midler, Alec Majerus, Filipe Ortiz, Jon Cosentino, and Oscar Meza keeping standards high in 2012. In the end there was no stopping Dylan Witkin's relentless assault on the course, as he took the top spot despite puking mid sesh. The best trick contest was straight up gnarly too, with Sebo Walker taking it with a 360 shove-it Smith grind down the hubba. Have a look at the gallery below and check out the final standings under the gallery.

The modern high-speed network is not perfect. Errors can creep into message data during transmission or reception, altering or erasing one or more message bytes. Sometimes, errors are introduced deliberately to sow disinformation or to corrupt data. Several algorithms have been developed to guard against message errors. One such algorithm is Reed-Solomon.
This article takes a close, concise look at the Reed-Solomon algorithm. I discuss the benefits offered by Reed-Solomon, as well as the notable issues it presents. I examine the basic arithmetic behind Reed-Solomon, how it encodes and decodes message data, and how it handles byte errors and erasures. Readers should have a working knowledge of Python. The Python class
ReedSolomon is available for download.
Overview of Reed-Solomon
The Reed-Solomon algorithm is widely used in telecommunications and in data storage. It is part of all CD and DVD readers, RAID 6 implementations, and even most barcodes, where it provides error correction and data recovery. It also protects telemetry data sent by deep-space probes such as Voyagers I and II. And it is employed by ADSL and DTV hardware to ensure data fidelity during transmission and reception.
The algorithm is the brainchild of Irving Reed and Gustave Solomon, both engineers at MIT's Lincoln Labs. Its public introduction was through the 1960 paper "Polynomial Codes over Certain Finite Fields." Interestingly enough, that paper did not provide an efficient way to decode the error codes presented. A better decoding scheme was developed in 1969 by Elwyn Berklekamp and James Massey.
Reed-Solomon belongs to a family of error-correction algorithms known as BCH. BCH algorithms use finite fields to process message data. They use polynomial structures, called "syndromes," to detect errors in the encoded data. They add check symbols to the data block, from which they can determine the presence of errors and compute the correct valuse. BCH algorithms offer precise, customizable control over the number of check symbols. They have simplified code structures, making them attractive for hardware implementations.
Reed-Solomon is also a linear algorithm because it processes message data as discrete blocks. And it is a polynomial algorithm because of its use of modular polynomials in the encoding and decoding processes.
But Reed-Solomon is not without its issues. It performs poorly with large message blocks. Doubling the block size quadruples the time it takes to encode or decode the message data. You can minimize this limitation by maintaining small and uniform blocks. Reed-Solomon also relies heavily on modular operations: And modular operations, especially multiplication, consume more clock cycles than non-modular ones.
The Mathematics of Reed-Solomon
As stated, Reed-Solomon uses a finite field in its encoding and decoding processes. A finite (or Galois) field is a square matrix, whose elements are the possible bytes values for both message and error data. Its size (2
m) is always a power of two, with
m being a prime number. It is also commutative. Combining two of its elements with a primitive modular operator (addition, subtraction, and so on) will return another element.
Figure 1 shows a simple finite field, size
4 (m = 2). Notice its largest element is
3 (0b11), which is less than the matrix size. If you take two field elements (
0b01 and
0b11) and add them, you get
0b00, which is also a field element.
Figure 1.
Listing One shows how the Python class
ReedSolomon prepares its finite fields. Here, it declares two list properties. The property
__GFEXP (line 4) is the actual field, with 256 possible byte values. The property
__GFLOG (line 7) is the complement field. Its 256 elements are the binary weights of each field element in
__GFEXP. Together, these properties help simplify modular multiplication and division as you shall see later.
Listing One
class ReedSolomon: # Galois fields # -- exponents (anti-logarithms) __GFEXP = [0] * 512 # -- logarithms __GFLOG = [0] * 256 # INITIALIZATION CONSTRUCTOR def __init__(self): # prepare the exponential and logarithmic fields self.__GFEXP[0] = 1 byteVal = 1 for bytePos in range(1,255): byteVal <<= 1 if (byteVal & 0x100): byteVal ^= 0x11d # update the field elements self.__GFEXP[bytePos] = byteVal self.__GFLOG[byteVal] = bytePos # finalize the exponential field for bytePos in range(255,512): self.__GFEXP[bytePos] = self.__GFEXP[bytePos - 255] # ... continued
Next, the constructor method
__init__() starts by setting element
0 in
__GFEXP to 1 (line 13). Then it populates the first 255 elements in both
__GFEXP and
__GFLOG (lines 15-22). Finally, it populates the remaining 256 elements in
__GFEXP (lines 25-26), by copying the first 256 elements from that same property.
Listing Two shows how the class handles modular multiplication and division. The private methods
__gfMult() and
__gfDivi() get the same two arguments:
argX and
argY. The
__gfMult() method checks if both arguments are zero and returns a zero result (lines 9-10). Otherwise, it reads an element from
__GFLOG, using
argX as the list index (line 13). Then it reads an element from
__GFLOG, using
argY as the index, and adds that element to
byteValu (line 14). Finally, it reads an element from
__GFEXP, using
byteValu as the index (line 15), and returns that element as the result.
Listing Two
class ReedSolomon: # ...previous listings # # Galois multiplication # argX, argY: multiplicand, multiplier # byteValu: product def __gfMult(self, argX, argY): # parametre checks if ((argX == 0) or (argY == 0)): byteValu = 0 else: # perform the operation byteValu = self.__GFLOG[argX] byteValu += self.__GFLOG[argY] byteValu = self.__GFEXP[byteValu] # return the product result return (byteValu) # Galois division # argX, argY: dividend, divisor # byteValu: quotient def __gfDivi(self, argX, argY): # validate the divisor if (argY == 0): raise ZeroDivisionError() # validate the dividend if (argX == 0): byteValu = 0 else: # perform the division byteValu = self.__GFLOG[argX] - self.__GFLOG[argY] byteValu += 255 byteValu = self.__GFEXP[byteValu] # return the division result return (byteValu) # ... continued
__gfDivi() method also checks for zero arguments. But it returns a zero if
argX is zero, and it raises a
ZeroDivisionError() if
argY is zero (lines 25-30). Otherwise, it uses both
argX and
argY to read elements from
__GFLOG. It subtracts the two elements (
byteValu) and adds 255 to the difference (lines 33-34). Then it uses
byteValu to access
__GFEXP and returns that element as the quotient (line 35).
Next, Reed-Solomon uses polynomials in its encoding and decoding processes. In Python, you can represent a polynomial as a list object (Figure 2). Each element in the list corresponds to a coefficient, each index to a term power. Notice the coefficients of each polynomial term is a hexadecimal number.
Figure 2.
One important polynomial is the generator polynomial (Figure 3). This is a normalized polynomial. All its terms have a coefficient of 1. It is irreducible. It cannot be factored into two or more polynomials.
Figure 3.
Listing Three shows how the class
ReedSolomon prepares a generator polynomial. This private method
_rsGenPoly() gets one argument: the number of error symbols (
errSize). It assigns the local
polyValu a single list element of 1 (line 8). Then it builds the generator polynomial by creating a two-term list object (
polyTemp) using
__GFEXP (line 11), and combining
polyTemp with
polyValu using
_gfPolyValu() (line 12). The final value of
polyValu then becomes the generator polynomial (line 15).
Lisitng Three
class ReedSolomon: # ...previous listings # # Prepare the generator polynomial # errSize: number of error symbols # polyValu: generator polynomial def _rsGenPoly(self, errSize): polyValu = [1] for polyPos in range(0, errSize): polyTemp = [1, self.__GFEXP[polyPos]] polyValu = self._gfPolyMult(polyValu, polyTemp) # return the polynomial result return (polyValu) # ... continued
Listing Four shows the four private methods that
ReedSolomon uses to process its polynomial list objects. The method
_gfPolyAdd() (lines 7-20) combines its two arguments,
polyA and
polyB, through modular addition. The method
_gfPolyMult() (lines 25-36) combines its two arguments through modular multiplication. Notice addition is done with exclusive-or, while multiplication is done with
Listing Four
class ReedSolomon: # ...previous listings # # Polynomial addition # polyA, polyB: polynomial addends # polySum: polynomial sum def _gfPolyAdd(self, polyA, polyB): # initialise the polynomial sum polySum = [0] * max(len(polyA), len(polyB)) # process the first addend for polyPos in range(0, len(polyA)): polySum[polyPos + len(polySum) - len(polyA)] = polyA[polyPos] # add the second addend for polyPos in range(0, len(polyB)): polySum[polyPos + len(polySum) - len(polyB)] ^= polyB[polyPos] # return the sum return (polySum) # Polynomial multiplication # polyA, polyB: polynomial factors # polyProd: polynomial product def _gfPolyMult(self, polyA, polyB): # initialise the product polyProd = len(polyA) + len(polyB) - 1 polyProd = [0] * polyProd # start multiplying for posB in range(0, len(polyB)): for posA in range(0, len(polyA)): polyProd[posA + posB] ^= self.__gfMult(polyA[posA], polyB[posB]) # return the product result return (polyProd) # Polynomial scaling # argPoly: polynomial argument # argX: scaling factor # polyVal: scaled polynomial def _gfPolyScale(self, argPoly, argX): # initialise the scaled polynomial polyVal = [0] * len(argPoly) # start scaling for polyPos in range(0, len(argPoly)): polyVal[polyPos] = self.__gfMult(argPoly[polyPos], argX) # return the scaled polynomial return (polyVal) # Polynomial evaluation # argPoly: polynomial argument # argX: independent variable # byteValu: dependent variable def _gfPolyEval(self, argPoly, argX): # initialise the polynomial result byteValu = argPoly[0] # evaluate the polynomial argument for polyPos in range(1, len(argPoly)): tempValu = self.__gfMult(byteValu, argX) tempValu = tempValu ^ argPoly[polyPos] byteValu = tempValu # return the evaluated result return (byteValu) # ... continued
The next method,
_gfPolyScale(), takes two arguments: a polynomial (
argPoly) and an integer (
argX). It multiplies each polynomial term by
argX using
__gfMult() (lines 47-48). The method
_gfPolyEval() also gets
argPoly and
argX as its arguments. However,it solves the polynomial
argPoly using
__gfMult() to combine
argX with each term, and tallies the sum using exclusive-or (lines 62-65).
Encoding with Reed-Solomon
To encode a message block with Reed-Solomon, first you need to set the number of error symbols (
errSize). These symbols are generated by Reed-Solomon and appended to the message block. They are later used to correct any erasures or errors found in the block.
