That's an increase of nearly 29%...
Last year, the CBO said the average exchange subsidy for those getting federal help when ObamaCare goes into effect next year would be $4,780. Its latest estimate raised that to $5,510 — a 15% increase. All these numbers are up even more from the CBO's original forecast made in 2010, which had the first-year subsidy average at $3,970.
The CBO also expects 7 million workers will lose their employer coverage due to ObamaCare, almost twice as many as it had previously said would be dumped. It expects tax penalties on individuals and companies who don't buy insurance to be $36 billion higher from 2014 to 2019 than it originally forecast...
[And a] report out this week by the American Action Forum concluded that ObamaCare could nearly triple the cost of a relatively bare-bones insurance policy for younger workers. Should that occur, it would raise costs to those not eligible for subsidies and further inflate the taxpayer cost of the insurance exchanges.
The lunacy of passing an enormous new entitlement when Social Security and Medicare are headed for immediate collapse should be self-evident.
That said, over the last month, we've also found the following salient facts about Obamacare:
• According to Robert Gibbs and Paul Krugman, there really are Death Panels.
• If you like your health care plans, 7 million of you won't be able to keep your health care plans.
• And up to 500,000 children will be dropped from their current health insurance plans because of a "glitch" in Obamacare itself.
And to think: the law really hasn't even kicked in yet and it's already collapsing under its own weight.
Perhaps next time, the would-be dictators and tyrants on the Left could actually allow Americans to read the damn bill before passing it. Or is that too much to ask?

The WHO QualityRights Tool Kit aims to ensure that quality of care and human rights standards are put in place in mental health and social care facilities around the world.
"Poor quality services and human rights violations in mental health and social care facilities are still an everyday occurrence in many places, especially in low- and middle-income countries," says Dr Shekhar Saxena, Director of WHO's Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse. "Decrepit buildings, overcrowding and unhygienic living conditions are a reality for many people living in psychiatric institutions. In many facilities, people are exposed to violence, abuse, harmful treatment and neglect. Many are locked up against their will, overmedicated, put in seclusion cells or restrained, sometimes for years."
Key quality standards for all facilities
To address this, WHO has developed the WHO QualityRights Tool Kit – assessing and improving quality and human rights in mental health and social care. The tool kit, which is based on the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, establishes key standards that need to be met in all facilities. These include the need for:
- living conditions to be safe and hygienic and the social environment to be conducive to recovery;
- the provision of evidence-based care for their mental and physical health condition, on the basis of free and informed consent;
- gearing services towards enhancing people's autonomy enabling them to engage in their own recovery plans;
- reporting and halting all inhuman treatment; and
- linking health services with employment, education, social and housing services in order to promote independent living in the community for mental health service users.
"The Tool Kit has been developed with major inputs from people from civil society organizations which specialize in mental and psychosocial disabilities, as well as other mental health and human rights experts, which is why it is so comprehensive and practical," explains Dr Michelle Funk, who led the WHO team which developed the Tool Kit. "It can be applied in low-, middle- and high-resource settings. It is unique because it can be implemented in both inpatient and outpatient facilities and allows for a comparison between mental health and general health care services."
Guidance on quality of care assessments and recommendations
In addition to establishing quality and human rights standards, the QualityRights Tool Kit provides specific guidance on how to conduct a comprehensive assessment of services, how to report findings and make appropriate recommendations to improve quality of care and human rights at the health facility and at national level.
The Tool Kit is a critical first step in a larger WHO QualityRights Project which aims to improve the quality of mental health care and human rights conditions in mental health and social care facilities. Future priorities will be to gather evidence on the state of mental health and social care facilities and use the tool to help address and correct deficiencies and research further means of improving conditions at the service level.

Budget announcements impact building materials segment
Indirect announcements made in Budget 2020 impact the building materials segment February 2020
In 2016, 60 cities were shortlisted to be transformed as smart. What´s more, a white paper released by RICS, Urban Makeover: Evolution or Revolution, mentions that about 89 per cent of the capital investment in the first 20 smart cities has been allocated to the built environment (urban development and housing, buildings, waterfront development, etc), transportation, water, wastewater management and energy. And reports indicate that a smart city will enable concrete solutions towards creating housing for all, owing to efficient utilisation of resources.
Greenfield of opportunities
Greenfield cities that have been under planning and development have spurred opportunities for the real-estate sector as well. In fact, as far as housing infrastructure is concerned, building greenfield cities from scratch offers vast advantages over the redevelopment of existing urban spaces, especially densely populated zones. In the present day, such developments include NAINA in Navi Mumbai; GIFT-City in Gujarat, Naya Raipur and cities identified along the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC)- all of which are being developed on the lines of smart cities.
NAINA, for instance, is being planned as an urban agglomeration and will host 22 smart cities, all of which is greenfield development.
At a time when major cities are eyeing vertical growth, V Venugopal, Additional Chief Planner, NAINA, CIDCO, says, ´NAINA will not only have residential projects but will be the next Bandra-Kurla Complex of Navi Mumbai.´
In the meantime, CIDCO has already issued tenders for nearly 14,000 housing units for economically weaker sections (EWS) and low income group (LIG). ´In what will give a fillip to the real-estate sector,´ he adds, ´We have asked the Maharashtra Government to give certain concessions in stamp duty and registration.´ Also, he says that for NAINA to become a reality, the villagers, whose land comes under the project, need to form groups and submit their collective land to CIDCO. ´In a recent meeting, we decided to issue property cards to those landowners who surrender their land to CIDCO, so that the implementation of the scheme becomes faster and the project viable.´
As for DMIC, eight smart cities have been planned in Phase-1. Alkesh Sharma, CEO & Managing Director, Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (DMICDC), updates, ´Four of them - Dholera in Gujarat, AURIC in Maharashtra, Vikram-Udyogpuri in Madhya Pradesh and Integrated Industrial Township Greater Noida (IITGNL) in Uttar Pradesh - are in the implementation stage, with laying of roads and utilities in progress.´ He further adds that Dholera, with a total footprint of over 920 sq km and developable area of 540 sq km, is India´s largest upcoming green city with a target residential population of 2 million and employment for 800,000 people by 2040. In contrast to Dholera, which has large land parcels, the Integrated Industrial Township in Greater Noida is a relatively small project covering about 302.63 hectare, and has earmarked 10 per cent of the project to residential and around 15 per cent to open spaces.´Housing and civic infrastructure are similarly benchmarked to the highest standards in AURIC, Vikram Udyogpuri and other cities in various stages of planning.´
Shortlisted cities, for real
The 60 cities shortlisted by the Government have started actioning their smart plan. In terms of sector-wise preferences, housing tops the chart with an estimated spending of Rs 10,055 crore.
CW PROPERTY TODAY connected with select cities to collate updated data on their spending.
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), for instance, is acting proactively to fix infrastructure for the future. As per latest updates received from PMC, ´The budget allocated under the Pune Smart City Development Corporation (PSCDCL) for the housing sector include affordable housing through private participation, Rs 40 crore for 350 houses in slums of ABB area. Also, a transit hub with an investment over of Rs 500 crore is to be developed through PPP. Meanwhile, for riverfront development, the smart city has envisaged an investment in excess of Rs 100 crore.´
Under the Tirupati Smart City plan, the city corporation has identified three areas for the real-estate sector: Residential, commercial and industrial, consisting of around 77 projects worth Rs 1,600 crore. V Vinay Chand, Commissioner, Tirupati Municipal Corporation, shares, ´Now coming to the real-estate sector, a large part of the aforementioned amount will be dedicated to commercial areas. The retrofit areas we have selected for the smart city projects fall under the Central Business District, which is around 750 acre that start from the Tirupati station and bus stations till the foothills of Tirumala. Considering that 75,000 to 1 lakh pilgrims visit the city every day, the hospitality sector plays a vital role in revenue enhancement. Hence, the 77 projects envisaged by us are mainly towards building some core areas to smart city standards.´
Under the head of ´housing and inclusiveness´ (affordable housing), Surat plans to improve living conditions for the urban poor and slum pockets. As M Nagarajan, Deputy Commissioner, Surat Municipal Corporation, shares, ´We are planning around 1,092 EWS-I and 2,000 EWS-II houses under Pradhan Mantri Jan Awas Yojana. Plans are also being laid for zero slum area by developing 5,800 houses based on the PPP model. The total projected cost is Rs 700 crore, which includes Rs 460 crore under PPP.´
For real estate, it´s raining opportunities in Bhubaneswar as well, especially with the Odisha government´s initiative of developing the city in a comprehensive manner. As R Vineel Krishna, CEO, Bhubaneswar Smart City, says, ´As per the state government policy on affordable housing, more than 10,000 houses amounting to Rs 600 crore are being developed across the city on PPP mode.
Also to be developed on PPP mode is the redevelopment project amounting to more than Rs 2,500 crore. The Satyanagar Institutional Core with a Central Business District of about 40 hectare will also be redeveloped on PPP mode and there will be auction of certain land parcels.´
Further, the government´s mission also aims at integrating various programmes to develop a holistic smart city. In this regard, Visakhapatnam Corporation has integrated housing on a convergence model. M Hari Narayanan, Commissioner, Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation, explains, ´Funds allocated under the government´s flagship programme, ´Housing for All´, will be utilised under our Smart City plans. Hence, there is no requirement of separate funds. As far as opportunities for the real-estate sector, in 2017-18, we plan to construct about 20,000 housing units and will spend Rs 55 crore in this direction.´
While smart cities will have opportunities for several industries in the areas of smart transportation, water management, safety and security, Internet of Things, and more, this new-age concept will bring direct and latent benefits for the real-estate sector!
Development influencing real estate
As a first step to revitalising the urban centre in a smarter and more sustainable city, Visakhapatnam has already launched a modern centralised City Command Centre. M Hari Narayanan, Commissioner, Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC), shares more:
Under AMRUT, water distribution lines worth Rs 150 crore will be taken up on priority.
A detailed project report (DPR) for constructing underground drainage in the Gajuwaka and Malkapuram areas at Rs 500 crore has been submitted to the Andhra Pradesh Urban Infrastructure Finance Corporation.
Providing 100 per cent underground sewerage network will improve the overall public health scenario, which in turn will influence the real-estate sector.
The urban local body is taking up ´Complete Streets´ on a priority basis. Priority to pedestrians will be taken up in selected areas, and modern walkways will be developed. GVMC is conducting a survey in this regard.
Request for qualification (RFQ) has been issued for modernising three schools that come under the GVMC purview.
We are soon to float proposals for smart schools, 24 x 7 water supply, cycling tracks, public toilets, bus stops, modern walkways, etc, under area-based development plans.
USTDA has completed the first phase of the Smart City Master Plan Framework, with recommendations for skill development and the transport sector.
High on city surveillance
With most projects to be executed in PPP mode as per the state government policy, R Vineel Krishna, CEO, Bhubaneswar Smart City, shares more...
In area-based development, the Bhubaneswar Town Centre District will be a mixed-use development including commercial, educational and residential developments.
Projects such as Satyanagar Institutional Core, Janpath housing redevelopment project, railway station multi-modal hub project, affordable housing projects, etc, in this 1,000 hectare will bring huge opportunities for real estate.
Commercial spaces with smart features are being developed by the Smart City SPV and another SPV for the railway station redevelopment project is also being created.
While all buildings will be supported with the latest building management features and GRIHA rating, the multi-level car parking building and commercial space in the top floors have already been tendered.
The commercial projects will have to integrate their surveillance systems and the parking management systems with the city-level intelligent city operations and management centre. We, along with the Odisha Police Department, have installed a citywide surveillance system - provided by Honeywell - that has identified 28 strategic locations in the city to install 114 integrated closed-circuit televisions and automatic number plate reading cameras, using a Command and Control System that provides a common operating picture in the Police Commissionerate headquarters.
That apart, we have also floated RFPs to implement an intelligent traffic management system (ITMS). While the project-implementing agency will have to complete the project in just nine months, Canada-based IBI Group will be the programme implementing agency for ITMS.
Focused on affordable homes
Surat has undertaken under area-based development projects (ABD 39) under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY). M Nagarajan, Deputy Commissioner, Surat Municipal Corporation, shares more...
EWS-I and EWS-II sub schemes are planned for 1,092 and 2,000 dwelling units respectively. Work orders for 1,090 EWS-I and 200 dwelling units under EWS-II have been already issued in February 2017. Tenders for 1,088 dwelling units under EWS-II are already received and under scrutiny while tenders of the remaining 714 dwelling units are under preparation. All projects are expected to be completed with all amenities by December 2019.
We have also planned the redevelopment of 11 slums with 5,800 hutments on PPP under PMAY.
Hotels, malls, IT, commercial and residential shall benefit from the pan-city and ABD initiatives directly and indirectly.
Special projects like fibre-to-home, last mile connectivity in public transit systems, better waste management, improved air quality and road infrastructure that matches world standards, etc, shall enable better land value capture and optimum use of real-estate, and create investment areas.
Buildings under ABD-20 shall have solar panels installed. Also, LED streetlights shall be used for all affordable housing under smart city.
India´s first multi-modal transportation hub is planned at Surat railway station at Rs 5,000 crore under the PPP model.
A city heritage square with a budget outlay of Rs 2 crore is planned for the city to symbolise Surat´s rich cultural legacy.
Around Rs 300 crore is to be spent on an outdoor game stadium with a capacity of 35,000 near West Zone Office, Palanpor; the feasibility study is on and the project will be implemented on PPP mode.
Fixing infrastructure for the future
Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is moving quickly in the next five years to fix infrastructure as much as possible and implement ICT solutions along with significant progress in the bus rapid transport (BRT), ring road and metro rail projects. PMC shares more...
To fix the housing (MIG/LIG) challenge, Pune is eyeing an investment opportunity of over Rs 20,000 crore for the real-estate sector to meet the requirements of affordable and mass housing in the next five years.
Leveraging on multiple riverfronts, PMC will endeavour to fully clean the rivers and develop attractive recreational destinations.
We are developing a world-class multi-modal transit hub in Balewadi on a 10-acre parcel.
We are developing a centralised command and control centre to manage and master-control various smart-city systems such as parking, waste management, environment monitoring, etc.
We are developing a ´smart Pune public transport system´ to significantly increase public transportation usage from the current 18 per cent.
To reduce congestion on roads, the city is developing an intelligent Pune traffic system. Through ICT solutions, we will synchronise signals, improve parking and drive real-time traffic analysis.
The city is also moving towards providing 24 x 7 water availability through a host of ICT solutions.
Redevelopment and retrofit opportunities
Tirupati Municipal Corporation (TMC) is planning major retrofit activity for all its bus stations into a multi-model integrated hub - worth Rs 300 crore on PPP basis û under area-based development. V Vinay Chand, Commissioner, TMC, shares additional project opportunities.
We have plans to commission three-star or five-star lodging facilities, an entertainment zone and, most important, a medical facility to cater to emergency needs.
As the city has a substantial vacant land parcel, the corporation has decided to develop four multi-level car parking projects with a total outlay of about Rs 200 crore.
We will implement an integrated Command and Collaboration Centre, and the construction of an art district - a project worth about Rs 150-200 crore.
Modernisation of the vegetable market will provide a good opportunity for the real-estate sector. Through this project, we will tap the potential of 2 acre of prime land.
We plan to develop a sports facility on vacant land in our possession.
The project under the Smart City plan will be largely focused on monetising available land parcel for commercial use.
We plan to construct a slum redevelopment project worth Rs 100 crore. In a span of one year, we will construct a G + 8 structure (two floors dedicated to commercial activities) consisting of 360 dwelling units. We will issue tenders in the next couple of weeks.
We are also undertaking road development projects, road beautification and street furnishing projects.
We are retrofitting major pilgrim routes to improve modern walkways, pedestrian path; and create water ATMs and Wi-Fi zones, etc.

The 2010 Toyota Mark X will sell in Japan and other Asian nations and shares the rear-wheel-drive Crown/GS platform, but when it debuts at the Tokyo Motor Show everyone will know exactly where to find it, buried beneath the X.
The newest Mark X maintains the trademarked X-marks-the-spot grille treatment and adds to the rest of the car some additional curves. Curves which in some instances, like the front wheel arches, which remind us of the current Mercedes S-Class. The car rides on the same rear-wheel-drive chassis underpinning the US Lexus GS and the Japanese Toyota Crown, but it's done with a bit more sporting flair than either. The car will come with the option of either a base 2.5 liter V6 making 203 HP or a 3.5 liter V6 with 318 HP. In addition to the basic cars, customized cars from DAMD and Modellista will be forthcoming, as well as a dealer customization program. [CarScoop]

1 West Second Street, Dayton, Ohio 45402
The Schuster Center (which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2013) provides a world-class facility for the best in local, national and international performing artists. The Dayton Opera, Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra, and Victoria Theatre Association call the Schuster Center home. It also showcases select Dayton Ballet productions. A variety of other local arts groups and promoters also utilize the facilities. The Schuster Center is also available to rent for meetings, parties, receptions, and performances.
The Schuster Center is comprised of two distinct structures – a performing arts center and an office/condominium tower – joined as one. The performing arts center serves as the focal point of the facility, and includes the Mead Theatre and the Mathile Theatre. Performance Place, the office/condo tower attached to the Schuster Center, rises 224 feet from the sidewalk, encompassing seven floors of office space and nine stories devoted to luxury condominiums. A Wintergarden, featuring palm trees set against a block-long, glass-enclosed atrium, ties these two elements together.
At the heart of the Schuster Center lies the 2,300-seat Mead Theatre, a state-of-the-art facility designed to accommodate a diverse array of performing arts, including orchestral music, opera, theatre, and dance. The Mead Theatre delivers stunning aural and visual experiences for audiences.
That experience begins with the look of the theatre. Architect Cesar Pelli's design invokes the feeling of an evening under the stars. The cool blues and orange-reds of the theatre's interior reach all the way to the domed ceiling, where concentric circles of fiber optic lights depict the Dayton sky as it appeared on the eve of the Wright Brothers' first flight, December 16, 1903.
Careful attention to layout and acoustics will further enhance the experience. World-class theatre planning and design consultants worked to create an intimate setting, with the last row a mere 120 feet from the stage. Seating options include orchestra, loge, and lower and upper balconies. Acoustical experts customized the theatre to meet the unique needs of performances requiring both acoustical and technical excellence. In addition to delivering outstanding concert hall acoustics, the use of cutting-edge sound isolation technologies in Mead Theatre ensure that external noise will not distract from the performances.
You can see a general seating chart for the Mead Theatre at www.TicketCenterStage.com.Rental Information
The 56' x 36', 150-seat black box Mathile Theatre provides a rehearsal facility for the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra and Dayton Opera, and offers an intimate setting for smaller-scale performances. The careful attention to detail in the Schuster Center's design allows it to be used concurrently with the main theatre. The space can also be rented for receptions, arts education programs, meetings, and performances.Rental Information
The Kettering Wintergarden, a spectacular six-story glass atrium, ties the individual pieces of the Schuster Center together in grand fashion. The open air space is available for weddings, charity balls, corporate functions, formal dinners, and special events. The facility can accommodate events of up to 1,000 people. It features a fabulous elliptical staircase leading from the Wintergarden to the balcony lobby level, and 1,900 panes of patterned glass that keep heat out and energy in the building. The Wintergarden also includes The Dayton Power & Light Company Foundation community stage, which features a diverse array of performers.Rental Information
Performance Place, an extraordinary locale with luxury finishes, has seven floors of office space and nine floors of luxury condos and penthouses. The units range in size from 1,700-1,900 sq. ft., one-bedroom condos to 4,000-4,200 sq. ft. three-bedroom penthouses.
To meet the increased parking demands created by the opening of the Schuster Center, the former Rike's/Lazarus parking garage, located on Ludlow Street across from the Schuster Center, was demolished. The Arts Garage's 1,206 spaces present an attractive exterior, up-to-date facilities, and features five levels of parking.
The garage is owned and operated by Victoria Theatre Association.Parking Information
The Schuster Center represents one of the cornerstones of Downtown Dayton's renaissance and revitalization. Like the Victoria Theatre before it, the Schuster Center is a landmark facility for Dayton's arts and cultural life and a legacy for generations to come.

Adds Lakeview Manor on a hill just across the water from the Imperial City. It has two main floors, a loft bedroom, and a large basement. The house is themed as if an alchemist had lived there at some point. There is ample storage throughout the home, and the basement functions as a training room. *Please note that when I named this house "Lakeview Manor" I had forgotten that there was a home of the same name in Skyrim*

These are some cupcakes I made for Danny's class party today. Actually, this is a picture I found on google, but they look exactly like the ones I made. Bil taught me how to download pictures from the camera onto the computer, but I can't remember how. I know, pathetic. I have also forgotten how to burn a cd. I think the problem is deep down, I know Bil will always do these technical tasks for me, so maybe I don't really attend to his lessons. Terrible, I know, but not much different than he is about domestic chores and keeping track of the kids' doctors, shoe size, etc., right? I like to think of it as job security or maintaining our symbiotic relationship. Whatever.
Anyway, I will have the winners from my giveaway posted tonight or tomorrow. Bil is helping me make my final choices. There were so many good entries, I am having a hard time deciding, which is nothing new for me. I have, however, decided to choose more than one winner. The grand prize winner will receive a brush, along with some other goodies, while the runners-up will get a smaller prize, but one that will definitely include one of those brushes. Thanks to everyone who posted a comment. I guess the way to get more comments and readers is to give stuff away.

Twitter, the popular micro-messaging service, is preparing to launch several new features for end users and third-party application developers. Twitter is moving into new territory with a richer real-time streaming API and an annotation system that will make it possible for developers to piggy-back additional data on top of tweets.
These new features were announced at Chirp, an official Twitter developer conference that took place last week. Although the new features will create some intriguing opportunities for third-party developers, the news of the coming enhancements was partly overshadowed by Twitter's somewhat controversial entry into the client application market—a play that pits Twitter against its own third-party developer ecosystem.
Shortly before the conference, Twitter acquired Atebits, the company behind the popular Tweetie client for Mac OS X and the iPhone. Twitter also helped RIM develop an official native client application for Blackberry devices. Additional news that has emerged since the start of Chirp suggests that Twitter will also be launching its own URL shortening service, potentially elbowing out its former partner Bit.ly. These moves were preceded by a statement from a prominent investor who warned third-party developers that they wouldn't be able to build sustainable businesses by merely "filling holes" in the service.
Although some third-party application developers are deeply frustrated with the sudden change in Twitter's role within the ecosystem, the move was hardly unexpected and is arguably not as hostile as the critics contend. It's worth noting that other popular social network operators, such as Facebook, also build their own dedicated client applications. That hasn't stopped companies from building profitable business on and around Facebook.
Twitter's recent actions will likely cause the market for stand-alone third-party client applications to deflate—and it might also have a short-term chilling effect on investments in third-party Twitter-related businesses—but it will not kill the Twitter platform or broadly deter third-party involvement. There are still a lot of good business opportunities on Twitter for companies that can build strong niche applications. A frequently-cited example is Stocktwits, which allows users to track investment info.
The new features that were announced at Chirp open the door for third-party developers to use the service in new ways. The most significant enhancement is the new annotation feature, which will allow third-party software to embed arbitrary metadata in tweets. The feature has not yet been rolled out, but Twitter developer Marcel Molina published a detailed explanation of how it will work in a message posted to the Twitter API announcements list.
Each individual annotation will be structured as a triple, consisting of a namespace, a key, and a value. When the feature is launched, the total combined size of the annotations will be limited to 512 bytes. Twitter says that it intends to eventually expand the capacity to 2 kilobytes. The annotations can be used for practically anything and will not be limited by Twitter in any way aside from the total size. Some potential uses include transmitting extended message text, sharing vCards, conducting polls, and embedding full-length links.
Client applications could be programmed to display the annotations in specific ways to make the Twitter stream more interactive. For example, an annotation that describes a question with several possible answers could be displayed as a poll with radio buttons that invites the user to vote. When the user selects a response, the client application could send a reply with the user's choice embedded as an annotation.
Although the underlying concept of Twitter annotations is very nifty, it will pose a few challenges to third-party developers. The biggest issue is interoperability. In order to be truly useful, annotations that are not application-specific will have to be supported by multiple client implementations. That means that there will have to be a process for building consensus and devising standards.
Twitter says that such an effort will be left as an exercise to the community. The company doesn't seem to be interested in defining any standard annotation keys or namespaces. It may take a while for standard annotations to emerge, but it's very likely that it will happen—especially for important universal use cases such as extended-length messages.
Molina says that the annotations will eventually be exposed through Twitter search and other similar mechanisms, making it possible to filter tweets based on the annotations. That could make it considerably easier to programmatically analyze the contents of the firehose and harvest useful information from the Twitter stream.
Real-time streaming
Twitter currently has a limited streaming mechanism that allows third-party developers to consume the contents of Twitter in real-time. The full public stream, which is called the Twitter firehose, is only available to certain partners. Regular developers can access limited streams, called the spritzer, that provides a sampling of the total public stream contents.
Although these real-time streams are useful for statistical analysis and other similar purposes, they aren't really intended to support conventional desktop Twitter client applications. Fortunately, Twitter is planning to roll out a new set of user streams that will finally make it possible to track the incoming messages in an individual user's timeline in real-time.
The transition to a full streaming-based API could significantly change the way that Twitter clients are made, making the service operate more like instant messaging and practically eliminating rate-limiting. The streaming API will use JSON-encoded data and will expose various events in addition to user messages. For example, it will be able to tell an application when a user gets a new follower.
The streaming API was launched in private beta during Chirp, but it will soon be rolled out to the broader user base. Twitter warns that developers should still continue to support the REST API so that they can use it as a fallback when the live stream breaks or exceeds capacity.
The new features will bring a lot of value to the Twitter platform, but they could also profoundly change its underlying nature. Support for real-time streaming will make it more like a global IRC channel, and the new annotation feature could jeopardize Twitter's signature concision and simplicity. Despite the risks, the new features are evidence of Twitter's growing maturity and signify its growing importance as a communication medium.

"End" (終わり, Owari) is chapter 609 of the original Naruto manga.
As Obito questions Kakashi statement that he would protect Naruto, the Copy Ninja's sentiments are echoed by Guy, who is severely weakened. Seeing this, Gyūki notes that all Konoha-nin liked to act tough before taking advantage of the loosened grip of its wooden restraints, warning Naruto that the Wood Release binding could suppress a tailed beasts power. Obito uses his own wood technique to attempt to restrain Naruto while he attacked Kakashi, but Naruto intercepts Tobi with a powerful headbutt, which sends him reeling. Gyūki then decides to attack the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path before the Ten-Tails could revive, leaving Obito to Naruto. Naruto declares that he can see Obito's suffering face, though Obito counters by saying it is Kakashi who is truly suffering. As Naruto notes that he had to do something for Kakashi, who was worn out, Kurama switches places with Naruto, and throws the Copy Ninja at Obito who warps him away to the other dimension, much to Naruto's shock. With no time to linger over this occurrence as Obito attacks, using Kamui to avoid Naruto's attack; he surprisingly starts to cough up blood. Kurama then reveals that Kakashi was attacking Obito from the other dimension and that it had given the shinobi some of its chakra when it threw him at Obito. As Kakashi returns to the real world thanking Kurama, Naruto and Killer B both combined their Tailed Beast Balls to create a massive sphere, firing it on the barrier containing the Demonic Statue. After the explosion, they note that the statue's chakra vanishes, causing Kakashi to question whether this is the end. However, when the smoke clears, the revived Ten-Tails appears, prompting Obito to declare that it is was indeed the end of this world. Elsewhere, a now-recovered Madara, though disappointed that he did not capture the Eight, and Nine-Tails, notes that they should begin their plan.
- In this chapter, the wound that Obito dealt to Kakashi using the shuriken is missing from Kakashi's torso. However, this is corrected next chapter.

Is a new iMac 27" 2012 a viable upgrade compared to my current Mac Pro 2008 (quad core, 2.8Ghz 14GB RAM)?
I am a professional photographer and my workflow (Lightroom 4.2 +Photoshop CS6) has become increasingly slow over the last year or so. The specs of the new iMac seem promising – although I am a bit skeptical about using an iMac as a workstation. I currently run OS ML and apps off an SSD (128 Gb) and store the LR catalog + RAW files on an internal 2TB 7200 HDD (WD Caviar Black).
So, my question is, in theory, will the upgrade to a maxed out iMac provide a significant performance boost?

New sunscreen labels could make you safer
Local doctors say the labels may cut your risk of cancer
ORLANDO, Fla. – SPF, UVA, UBV... Buying sunscreen can sometimes feel like you're talking in code.
With bottles and bottles to choose from, it can be tough to find the best one for you.
But even now in November, doctors say you need to protect yourself. That's why they think new changes to sunscreen labels will make a big difference in cutting your risk of skin cancer.
"I was angry. I was angry, and I said, I'm not leaving my kids," says Laura Cruz, a mother from Central Florida who's been battling melanoma -- the most serious kind of skin cancer -- for the last eight years.
Since 2004, her disease has come back three times.
"I've had 17 rounds of chemo, about 13 of radiation," Cruz says. "You always look at every little spot and wonder, oh my gosh, is that gonna be something?"
At one point, in 2007, Cruz was only given four months to live. But today, she's full of energy, getting a variety of treatments, and staying strong for her family.
"I try not to focus too much on how much pain, because it tends to make you down, and I don't want to be down," Cruz says.
She understands the power of the sun. That's why she's impressed with the new sunscreen labels, which went into effect this month.
The SPF, or Sun Protection Factor, will stay the same on the bottle -- like 15, 30, or 50.
But now, the labels will be more specific about how much protection you're getting from UVA, and the more powerful UVB rays. Not all sunscreens protect you from both. But if a product does, it'll now say so with the term, 'Broad Spectrum.'
Doctors at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Orlando say 'Broad Spectrum' should be one of the first things you look for when buying sunscreen.
"With SPF, you're protected from UVB exposure," says Dr. Sajeve Thomas, an oncologist at the Cancer Center. "When it says Broad Spectrum, you're getting coverage for both. So personally, I would find a product that says SPF of 15 to 30 with Broad Spectrum coverage."
Another big change -- if a sunscreen is water-resistant, the labels will now tell you how often you have to reapply if you're swimming or sweating. For example, every 40, 60, or 80 minutes, depending on the product.
"Now that you have these times, it kind of gives some guidance to folks, especially mothers and fathers who have kids who are playing in the water a lot," says Dr. Thomas.
We showed the new labels to Laura Cruz, and she says that she wishes she had this kind of information decades ago.
"If the labels were around 25 years ago, like that, I would've never came up with the cancer," Cruz says.
A lot of people think a higher SPF means more protection.
But Dr. Thomas at the Cancer Center says there is no proof that anything higher than SPF 30 will keep you safer.

Keeping health and safety alive
Campaign Origin
"Play the clown, Pay the Price" is a unique campaign designed to keep this vital subject fresh in all our minds. It can be used in any industry or organisation and is relevant to each and every one of us.
The campaign is the product of a unique collaboration between Aberdeen International Airport, the media/marketing students at the Robert Gordon University and a group of professional advertising and marketing agencies from across the north-east of Scotland. The big challenge was to provide an answer to the question – "How do we keep health and safety alive"?
The entire initiative has been planned, funded and facilitated by Aberdeen International Airport (just one of a number of its stakeholder engagement programmes) and the creative design/artwork is now available (at no cost) to any business or organisation who wishes to use it.
How to get the campaign
The campaign contains a range of imagery focussing on subjects from construction settings to road crossing; trips, slips and falls anywhere; and even hand-washing and tummy-bugs!
Artwork is available for the production of a range of posters (from A4 size up to 6-sheet posters and even 48-sheets for road-side use!). Floor and wall decals are also included as well as decals for use in welfare areas. Choose what suits your organisational needs best.
Artwork available for:
- A1, A2, A3, A4 series posters (suitable for all environments)
- 6 sheet posters
- 48 sheet posters
- Stickers, floor and wall decals

Afghan forces now bearing brunt of war violence
NATO troop deaths are decreasing, as many countries continue withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, handing more responsibility to Afghan forces. But as Afghan troops have been pushed out on their own, often without the weaponry or bomb-detecting technology of NATO forces, they have been bearing the brunt of the war's violence. On Saturday, at least 21 policemen were killed by bombs in Kunduz, Kandahar, Ghazni, and Farah provinces.
Afghan officials said numbers for the year are incomplete, but between the army and national police, at least 2,071 troops were killed in 2012, with more than double that number injured, as compared to 2,177 U.S. servicemembers killed in the entire war, according to independent website iCasualties. For Western nations, whose publics have long been weary of an effort that seems to have locked into a stalemate, such numbers would be untenable. Even for Afghans, accustomed to nearly constant war over the past three decades, losing the equivalent of a brigade's worth of troops each year to death and injury is taking a toll.
The spike in casualties comes at a time when Afghan units can still rely on NATO troops for backup and, most importantly, air power assets likely to diminish over the next two years, as international militaries withdraw ahead of the Dec. 31, 2014 deadline for all combat troops to leave Afghanistan.
Afghanistan's security forces are still dependent on international troops for air support -- a situation unlikely to improve anytime soon with the recent scrapping of the entire fleet of Afghan C-27A cargo planes due to lack of spare parts. Afghan troops lack intelligence capabilities, artillery and effective countermeasures against roadside bombs, by far the biggest killer of Afghan soldiers, Ministry of Defense spokesman Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi said.
In a country beset by joblessness, where most recruits join the military for a paycheck rather than patriotism, the increasing danger of military service is driving some out of the ranks. The Afghan security forces are currently close to their goal of 350,000 troops, but maintaining that is a challenge with a turnover rate of around one-third of the force annually. Compounding the increasing danger of the job, the cronyism that runs rampant through the Afghan government can have life or death consequences in the military, where the well-connected often get cushy postings in safe districts while their less fortunate comrades serve in insurgent-plagued regions.
nsurgents can rely on continued support from Pakistan and other regional powers, and Afghan troops will need assurances that they can rely on Western nations not only for backup but also to ensure the government they're fighting for has the resources to stay in power.

in Harvard's win.
Photo courtesy: Kevin Burns Photography
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The fourth-ranked Harvard women's hockey team earned a two-game sweep against Ivy League and ECAC Hockey rival Princeton, as the Crimson picked up a 4-1 win in Game 2 of the ECAC Hockey quarterfinal series. Kate Buesser, Kaitlin Spurling, Liza Ryabkina and Jillian Dempsey each netted a goal for Harvard in the win.
For the second straight day against the Tigers, Harvard (20-6-5) grabbed a first-period lead, as Buesser lit the lamp with a shot from the top of the slot at 8:32. Josephine Pucci earned the primary assist after making a clean pass from the right corner, while Margaret Chute picked up a secondary assist after stealing the puck in the Princeton zone.
In the second, the Crimson continued to surge offensively, as Spurling batted home a rebound to put Harvard in front, 2-0, at 4:08. Randi Griffin fired a shot on net, which was deflected by Anna McDonald, and Spurling picked up the puck and shot it across the goal line. Less than three minutes later, Ryabkina netted a power-play goal, as she beat Princeton goaltender Rachel Weber with a chance in front at 6:40. McDonald and Pucci each collected their second helpers of the game on the play.
Princeton (13-14-4) clawed back into the game as Melanie Wallace tallied an unassisted goal 6:19 into the third period. Dempsey sealed the deal for the Crimson with 1:30 left to play. The freshman potted an empty net goal to send Harvard through to the ECAC Hockey semifinals with a 4-1 victory to clinch the series, 2-0.
The Crimson killed off all six penalties in the game and only allowed three shots while on the penalty kill. Laura Bellamy turned aside 15 shots in the game to pick up her 10th win of the season. Harvard outshot Princeton in the game, 39-16.
Harvard will face a yet-to-be-determined opponent in the ECAC Hockey semifinals March 5.

I'm 6'2" and 270lbs. I'm not all fat, for some reason, but I've never worked out before. I've just decided that I'm going to be joining a local gym and was wondering if there was a tool online that would build a 30 minute (or should I be doing more?) workout based on my goals/metric.
I found that Gold Gym has one, but I tried putting several different metrics and usually got the same workout ... so I'm not sure how reliable it is.
Alternatively, what kind of workout should I be doing? My goal is to lose weight and get healthier. I was thinking two 30 minute workouts per week along with playing soccer and basketball on a intramural team. Is that a lot or not enough?

"Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity" (Ephesians 6:24).
