Mexico City had a new program of videocameras fixed in all the city. The program will ended with the colocation and control of near 8,500 cameras installed. Some of them are state-of-the-art, with capabilities or "hear" shots and turn around to locate the place of fire.
The program, which starts at the SCT Metro (Subway) helped to down felonies up to 75% in six months, even if the system is not fully operational – eventually, it will be capable to identify any person with arrest warrants pending, and to detect when go on the station, in order to be arrested. But with 5 millions of users everyday, that will be not easy task.
The other issue relevant is: Privacy. if every user of the subway is recorded against it's will -or even without knowing- in order to get delinquents, is not an Orwellian society capable of make the Big Brother a crude reality…? I invite you to discuss this item.

For the first time, I listened to Copland's "Inscape". This piece to my ear is stronger than "Connotations", which was written 5 years earlier. Even though it's not my favorite Copland, it is strong and bold (in the sense of Ruggles), and like Stravinsky, Copland maintains enough of his stylistic elements from the past to still sound like- Copland! In both these pieces, it is curious that the rhythms and meters are not nearly as complex as those elements his earlier works- even pieces like El Salon Mexico and Appalachian Spring (works in his popular tonal style)! Copland seems to concentrate in these 12 tone works entirely on sound, intervals, line, and color. What fascinates me is when tonal composers adapt to an atonal style, and visa versa! (Del Tredici, Rochberg, etc.) Indeed, music history is full of surprises!
Thoughts on Copland's 12-tone pieces: "Inscape" and "Connotations"
June 3, 2014 by 1 Comment
Very insighful observations about Copland & 12 tone. I remember the premiere of Connotations in 1962 at Lincoln Center. Everybody thought it was going to be like Appalachian Spring. After 22 minutes of turgid music Bernstein turned around with a smile on his face and said 'I think we should hear that again'. And so they did.

Lessons Building a $100k Per Month eCommerce Store
Getting an online business to $10k per month is a solid accomplishment in 18 months, however getting to $100k per month is another story. This is the story of Eric Bandholz from Beardbrand who sell a range of beard care products. This article will dive into some frequently asked questions about the business, their successes and their failures.
In fact, it's quickly become quite an idolized company, due to the enormous growth we've had in such a short amount of time. They have features in Forbes and a massive following on Reddit and in the NYtimes.
How did you get started?
Our story dates back to February of 2012. I went to Portland, OR for a beard and mustache championship, and it was there that I was able to really start understanding and even living the beardsman lifestyle; I ended up falling completely in love with it. Knowing I wanted to continue to be active in the beard community, I started a simple blog and created a YouTube channel.
Initially, I was fed up with bad products that were unable to fulfill my facial hair needs, and that's when my vision to provide everyone with easy access to the highest quality products began. When it comes to the future, though, my success isn't going to continue growing solely because I love my beard; my entire vision for Beardbrand and the beard community play a vital role.
In addition to that, I strive to change how society looks at bearded men and ensure that everyone is allowed to express themselves with their facial hair. I cannot believe there are still companies out there that require their employees to shave and that people with large beards are still scoffed at so often.
Although Beardbrand was very small at this point, I quickly figured out that the niche hadn't really been tapped into much. I knew that the opportunity to create something big within a niche was extremely rare, but I was passionate about it. So I went for it.
How much revenue are you currently generating per month?
We launched on January 28th, 2013 with only 3 products and no established sales. We've grown from $1000/month to most recently $110k in September and we are on pace for $130k in October. With the exception of March 2013, we've seen growth each month.
How did you meet your co-founders?
I met my co-founders at a startup weekend in Spokane Washington. I had the idea of hosting a TV show that documents the lives of individuals with beards around the world. The idea didn't fly for the weekend however my team members and I (Lindsey and Jeremy) ran with another idea for the startup weekend and ended up developing the best app for the competition.
We found out that we worked well together and before the NY Times article aired, we pieced together an ecommerce store with our first beard oil product. The rest they say is history, we have been growing year on year since then.
How are you different from your competitors?
At Beardbrand, we pride ourselves on offering only products that are high quality and will serve their purpose perfectly. This has been our vision from the beginning, and it's paid off month after month. We have seen continuous growth each quarter since the Times article circulated, because we make sure that every single customer is satisfied. At this point, Beardbrand sales are pushing $100k a month, and they are only expected to grow more over the coming months and years. Our biggest seller that accounts for the majority of our sales is our Beardbrand collection of beard oils.
What Marketing strategies did you use to grow the business?
A huge reason why our business continues to grow at such an enormous rate is due to the Internet and social media marketing. Using the tools at my disposal–Facebook, Tumblr, YouTube, Twitter, and others–I'm able to continually catch the attention of new customers and get more people involved in the overall beard community. Social media sites are being used by almost the entire world at this point, so they provide great marketing opportunities.
What tools and software are you using in your business?
The main tool we are using is shopify.com for our ecommerce platform. To stay in touch with the team we are using Google apps and Podio. Those three pieces of software are the backbone of the business. I have also found that the Reddit Entrepreneur subreddit has been a great resource for feedback on the business.

Comment Author needs a clue about metrics (Score 4, Informative) 752
Yes, PHP is a heck of a lot slower on proccessor-bound tasks than C++. In a pure benchmarking contest, no doubt C++ will win.
But what about when both languages have to query a database (be it mysql/postgress/oracle, etc)? In this case, both are blocked on the speed of the database. a 15 ms query takes 15 ms no matter what language is asking. Facebook is not calculating pi to 10 gazillion digits, and it is not checking factors for the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search. It is serving up pages containing tons of customized data. This is not proessor-bound... it is I/O bound both on the ins and outs of the database and the ins and outs of the http request. It is also processor bound on the page render, but the goal of this many machines is to cache to the point where page renders are eliminated.
Once a page is rendered, it can be cached until the data inside of it changes. For something like facebook, I bet a page is rendered once for every ~10 times it is viewed by someone. Caching is done in ram, and large ram caches take a lot of machines.
So lets look at those 30,000 machines not by their language, but by their role. We can argue the percentages to death, but lets assume 1/3rd are database, 1/3rd are cache, and 1/3rd are actually running a web server, assembling pages, or otherwise dealing with the end users directly (BTW, I think 1/3rd is way high for that.)
So 1/3rd of the machines are dealing with page composition and serving pages. If they serve a page ~10 times for every render request, then abtou 1/10th of the page requests actually cause a render... the rest are being served from cache. Those page renders are I/O bound, as in the example above - waiting on the database (and other caches, like memcached), so even if they are taking a lot of wait cycles, they are not using processor power on the box. The actual page composition (which might be 20% of the processing that box is doing), would be a lot faster in C++... So 10,000 servers, the virtual equivalent of 2000 are generating pages using php, and could be replaced by 200 boxes using stuff generated in C++.
So the choice of using php is adding ~1800 machines to the architecture. or ~6% of the total 30,000. Given that a php developer is probably 10x more productive than a developer in C++, is the time to market with new features worth that to them? I bet it is.

NEW YORK, NY April 13 (DPI) — In this age of Anyone Can Videotape Anything Any Time, it seems almost unthinkable that a major airline would risk an always fragile reputation by forcibly removing a random passenger from a crowded flight.
But that's exactly what United Airlines did last Sunday, and the fallout, across the media and the internet, is still being felt.
Beyond the PR mess for the airline, the incident will likely win the passenger, 69-year-old Louisville doctor David Dao, millions in financial settlements, both from United and the City of Chicago. According to Reuters, a lawyer at a firm specializing in air disaster litigation, said, "United, if they're smart, will quickly and quietly settle."
Still, the airline initially claimed that the passenger resisted and was being "belligerent," and it wasn't until mid-week that the CEO of United, Oscar Munoz, issued an apology. And two days after the Sunday incident someone – it's not clear who – released sordid background information about the passenger, which gossipy news sites like DailyMail.com picked up,
The reports suggested that Dao is – or has been – mentally unstable. But readers of the report – more than 4000 as of Wednesday on the DailyMail site – would have none of it. The best rated comment: "Well done DailyMail – you have reached new levels of gutter press."
Remarkably, the mainstream media – particularly the networks news shows – kept referring to the "PR disaster" for United, an almost unconscious suggestion that the problem was more one of image rather than of substance.
Many travelers do recognize that private airlines, who are responsible for their paying passengers, have always had the right to remove anyone and everyone from one of their airplanes, for any reason. That Dao resisted so intensely suggests that he did play a role in how the incident played out.
But that is a moot point now, and it hardly exculpates United.
News outlets everywhere are quoting aviation lawyers that what the airline did – forcibly removing the passenger for reasons other that security and safety – was illegal.

Geraghty claims draw for Saints
Shane Geraghty rescued a 22-22 draw for LV= Cup holders Northampton with a last-minute try in a tight battle against Saracens at Vicarage Road.
New signing Gavin Henson was introduced to the crowd at half-time, but the Wales centre will not be available to play until he finishes his involvement with the television programme Strictly Come Dancing.
Saracens gave a debut to 18-year-old full-back Ben Ransom but lost fly-half Alex Goode shortly before kick-off with a sore quad. Nils Mordt took his place while Northampton started England's Geraghty at number 10.
It was Geraghty who made his mark first, steering over a fourth-minute penalty awarded for offside by referee Chris White from in front of the posts. With Goode absent, scrum-half Richard Wigglesworth took over kicking duties for the hosts, and the England international made no mistake after six minutes, another penalty awarded for offside.
The game developed into a tight slog, punctuated by White's whistle, and it was Saracens who got their noses in front after 17 minutes. Wigglesworth seemed ambitious when shaping to attempt a shot at goal from halfway. But his shot was still climbing as it bisected the posts.
Saracens then found touch deep in enemy territory, and when the lineout went long, Mark Easter caught the ball but was pounced upon immediately and driven backwards over his goal-line. However White found something to blow for, ending the attack.
The visitors took the lead after 28 minutes when loosehead prop Regardt Dreyer was driven over to the right of the posts, and Geraghty added the conversion.
In their next attack, Saracens were awarded another penalty, this time for a ruck offence, and Wigglesworth completed his hat-trick of successful kicks. And when England wing David Strettle made a searing break at the heart of the defence, White decided he was halted illegally and Wigglesworth made it four from four.
Northampton hit back in style when Geraghty's clever inside pass foxed the defence and left wing Paul Diggin dashed through the gap. Geraghty's conversion was spot-on.
The half ended as it began, with penalties. Wigglesworth's first attempt from wide on the right flew the wrong side of the near post. And when hooker Brett Sharman was sin-binned for a ruck offence, the task looked easier. But Wigglesworth, so deadly earlier, missed again.

*Champneys Energising Lime Body scrub, *Champneys Energising Lime Bath & Shower Oil
A while back I was invited to the launch of the Champneys new collection; 'Energising Lime', I'm a massive fan of Champneys products so I was really excited for this. I fell in love with their 'Distant Shores' collection and just knew when I arrived at the event that I had a new love affair on my hands.
This collection smells amazing – really fresh and zesty. The new collection will be dropping this Autumn and will be available to buy in Boots. The Body Scrub will retail at £10 and the Bath & Shower Oil at £8, which is a great affordable price for a luxury product. I always see Champneys products as a treat as they are nicer than your everyday washes etc so it's nice to have them on hand for pamper evenings and special occasions!
Energising Lime Body Scrub: This scrub is a really great consistency, It's quite a thick scrub but not too mainly granules in it (see the picture above) I much prefer scrubs like this as sometimes when they have too many granules I feel they can be a bit harsh on the skin. This scrub left my skin smelling beautiful and feeling really smooth, overall I was really impressed.
Energising Lime Bath & Shower Oil: This oil is great as it doubles as a bath oil as well as shower gel, so you can use it to sit back and soak up the goodness in or wash with. I trialled this oil in the shower and it created a rich light foam and left my skin feeling really soft, it also has extracts of Peppermint and Orange fruit so it smelt divine too!
Will you be trying either of these products?

Speaking in Port Harcourt on Wednesday on the sideline of the national convention of the PDP, Mr. Fayose said such a development would not, however, be in the interest of the country and Nigerians at large.
In a statement by the governor's Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, the governor was quoted as saying that a virile opposition was a vital ingredient for democracy and necessary to make democracy thrive.
ALSO READ: PDP Postpones National Convention, Gov. Wike's convoy attacked
Mr. Fayose, who could not attend the convention owing to the blockade of the road leading to the Old Presidential Lodge of the Rivers State government house where he was accommodated, said the condoning off of the Sharks Stadium, Port Harcourt by the police on the orders of the Inspector General of Police, had the input of the APC-led Federal Government. He said the police only acted the script written by the APC-led government.
"I witnessed what the police did early today in Port Harcourt, it is most unfortunate. It has shown that we are indeed in a perilous time in the country. The APC is desperate to kill opposition and silence others because they are afraid that their inability to properly govern the country and tackle the challenges facing us as a nation would be exposed by a virile PDP.
'"The Buhari government is dictatorial. There is tension everywhere. All sectors are down and they are focusing on killing the opposition. What business has APC with PDP internal matters?
"If they said they wanted to act on court orders, why didn't they act on more than four orders that were in favour of the Markafi group?
They don't have answers to the terrible situations in the country but they know that an organised PDP will be emboldened to challenge them," he said.
The governor wondered what would have happened if the PDP acted like the APC and refused to hand over to the APC last year.
Mr. Fayose said it was unfortunate that Senator Ali Modu Sheriff had turned himself to an instrument in the hands of APC leaders to destabilise the PDP.
He appealed to PDP members from across the country who came to the convention not to feel discouraged, saying the truth would prevail in the long run.

On Wednesday I attended the River Island press preview for the S/S'14 collection.
I was absolutely blown away by the funky new colours and patterns that we can expect to see filtering into the stores over the next few months.
From bold floral prints to graphic designs and pretty pastel colours to bejewelled statement necklaces, this coming season, River Island will have everything you want and more. There were 6 different collections to be viewed on the day: Sports Mono, Classic Plastic, Posh Pastels, Tribal Grunge, Print Clash, and Metallic. Each one more exciting and eye-catching than the last!
I spent the afternoon perusing the beautiful items and making a mental shopping list of what I would like to purchase myself. My own personal favourites have to be the stunning green jumpsuit, the floral embossed leather jackets and the travel cosmetic bag but I have to say, I loved every piece!
Even the menswear and children's collections were full of wonderfully bright colours and patterns.
Some of the items in the pictures are already available in stores and online however the rest will be coming in over the next few months so keep an eye out incase you miss one of your favourite items!
As well as the fashions on display, there was also an incredible "edible" beach installation made entirely of cake, icing and honeycombe!
The final bonus of the day was that the talented Holly Shortall, top fashion illustrator, was in attendance and was creating images of all of the guests! Check out the cool illustration she drew of me at the bottom of the post!
I would like to say a huge thank you to Emma and all of the team at River Island for inviting me to attend the preview! I thoroughly enjoyed it and cannot wait to shop the new collection.

The Academy 2016 / March Challenge: As You Like It.
Welcome to the world and to the last challenge in the 2016/2017 season at The Academy. Welcome to March Challenge.
If February was difficult, March is piece of cake. You are asked to take a street photograph that you definitely can say that you enjoy. In addition it has to be of a humorous sort. William Shakespeare or Monty Python. Since we at least here up north are such fans of British wit and British pop music.
Really looking forward to seeing your submissions for March. Of course, if you dont have a sense of humour you will have problems with this challenge. At least you should hum along.
Don't forget you need to do the shooting im March to keep your mind fresh and your gear smooth.
Best of luck to all of you. Have a good day. See you around.
Copenhagen, February 28, 2017.

Regional Currency Areas in Financial Globalization

Chapter 13: Fiscal Policy and War of Attrition: The Case of Latin American Countries
Jean-Pierre Allégret and Marie-Noëlle Cales
Jean-Pierre Allégret and Marie-Noëlle Cales INTRODUCTION If monetary policy credibility has been the object of a large debate in the literature, it is not the case for fiscal policy credibility. Yet the analysis of the conduct of fiscal policy has been renewed in two directions. On the one hand, the Stability and Growth Pact in the European Union has showed the importance of the policy mix in a monetary union. On the other hand, studies on stabilization plans in Latin America – for instance Ter-Minassian and Schwartz (1997); Calvo and Végh (1998) – have stressed that the control of fiscal balances is an essential condition in the success of these plans. Monetary policy is not the only factor of inflation control. Indeed as demonstrated in numerous empirical studies, there is a long-term relationship between fiscal unbalances and inflation. To stabilize the expectation of inflation by the private agents, the authorities have to stabilize fiscal balances. In this chapter we study fiscal policy credibility by focusing on the stabilization of the fiscal balance. Since the early 1990s, Latin American countries have displayed strong fiscal consolidation. But as noticed by Ter-Minassian and Schwartz (1997, p. 10), the common characteristic of these countries 'is perhaps the fact that they all failed to signal convincingly a fundamental change of the economic policy regime and therefore lacked credibility'. The main implication of the fiscal adjustment is to induce pro-cyclical fiscal policies which destabilize output. From our point of view such behaviour...

Olympic gold medal diver Chris Mears says an injury that almost killed him turned his life around and made him the champion he is.
Mears ruptured his spleen in an accident in Australia in 2009 when he was just 16. At that time he admits that he was a failure at school and going nowhere.
Doctors had to operate to remove his spleen and gave him only a five per cent chance of survival but Mears pulled through and began to reassess his life and start to put some effort into the things he was good at.
And just eight years after coming close to death, he won gold in the synchronised 3m springboard event with Jack Laugher at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
"I had a mid-life crisis when I was 16," he recalls in an exclusive video for FUEL.
"I realised that I was being an idiot at school and I had to do something about it and work hard. I would not be in the same position that I am now if it hadn't happened to me, so it's a blessing really. It only was positive."
While his family suffered, Mears sees only the good side.
"My parents won't say the same, because I was out of it but they were the ones having to experience it.
"So it was difficult for them, I know it was, but for me it was just like a bit of a slap on the head. More of a really hard hit on the head that kick-started me into gear to think: 'All right. Why do I do half the things I do? Why am I trying to be cool at school rather than work hard?'
"Unfortunately it was two months before my GCSEs and I pretty much failed them all, but it made me realise that this diving thing is the only thing I have. Maybe I should really work at it. It might go well, it might not, but we'll see.
"And it paid off totally. I can't say what I'd be like now without it."
Part of the change came because he had to alter his whole lifestyle.
"Going through the illness that I went through made me more susceptible to viruses etc, so it was pretty much at that moment when I was 16 that I did have to make some change in my diet.
"It was less about the actual food, but more about timing. If I would train really hard and then not eat for an hour and a half, that's really bad for you because you're not replenishing your body, which means that then in that hour and a half you're really susceptible to viruses.
"But I did start to eat better from that period because I had to. I couldn't neglect my body. I had to move forward with everything.
"Everything in my life had to step forward. I had to make sure that I was doing my body right."

Summer love: water slapping against the shore might be the only sound you hear. If the day is sunny, the light sparkling off the water and the heat you feel as you sit on the dock is enough; where a visit becomes a touchstone, a measuring stick that you can lean up against the months stretching out behind you to see how far you've traveled – see where you moved faster than lightning or where you got stuck.
Where you figure out if you're on the right path or need to veer off slightly. Try something else: a bit of a tweak to whatever master plan you set into motion however long ago that was.
Go or stay.
Maybe you just kick back and live in the moment and to hell with the plan.
If you're paying attention, you'll see that orange ball down near the water or half-buried in the sand. All that you'll need to flesh out another small moment in time – a grace note all to itself, is the dog.

The leader of the BC NDP says even down the line he wouldn't consider reintroducing the HST.
With the scrapping of the HST today Adrian Dix took his chance to remind voters about the circumstances of its implementation.
"Certainly from the beginning… from the election campaign, onto the Premier Clark's tax-payer funded campaign in favour of the HST and the referendum, onto today when there's still challenges in transition – I think this was four lost years of tax policy in BC."
While happy to talk about, what he describes as, a failed Liberal policy Dix wasn't so keep to discuss his own plans dodging questions related to whether or not he'd run a budget deficit.

Michael Pammer: »Death and the Transfer of Wealth. Bequest Patterns and Cultural Change in the Eighteenth Century«, Journal of Social History 33/4 (Summer 2000), 913–934.
Abstract: The paper examines bequest patterns in eighteenth-century central Europe. Based upon a sample of 2800 Austrian wills, it investigates the factors determining bequests given to various groups of recipients, such as family members, relatives, friends, and servants, as well as to charity. The results suggest that the family environment of the testators, their professions, the circumstances under which the wills were made, and independent long-term changes in mentality worked in specific ways for the different groups of recipients. Apart from these effects, bequest behavior shows two general characteristics: when choosing an heir, testators usually select either their spouse or their children, but not both at the same time; and testators giving legacies to recipients outside their family usually choose relatives, friends, servants, and charitable institutions in equal measure. Charitable legacies decline in both frequency and value during the eighteenth century. It has been suggested that this was due to a transformation in family customs such that families would increasingly and voluntarily shoulder duties that had been determined by will in earlier times. This hypothesis is not supported by the data used in this analysis.

When I arrived at the Dobbs Plaza stop for the new Atlanta Streetcar Tuesday morning, I found throngs of people waiting to take that first ride. There were city council officials, parks and recreation officials, MARTA representatives, pastors of churches in the area were also there. There hadn't been a streetcar in Atlanta since 1949.
A beaming Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed told me, "It would be hard for me to be any happier than I am right now." Reed said that a lot of people came together and worked really hard to make it possible. "I'm really appreciative of President Obama for helping to make this possible through a 47.6 million dollar grant." The federal funding was 45 percent of the cost related to the streetcar. At an estimated cost of 69 million dollars, the streetcar was projected to open in Summer 2013. The price tag is now at 100 million dollars.
"I think when people ride it", said Reed, "they're going to feel like it's a very cool, efficient, and environmentally sensitive way to get around the City of Atlanta." He was joined on the inaugural ride by wife Sarah Elizabeth and baby daughter Maria. "The energy is amazing", said the Mayor, "and we even have good weather."
As we piled onto train 1001, there were plenty of compliments about the stylishness of the 80-foot-long car. We were pretty-much packed in like sardines. There was also the occasional "watch your step". When the car took off, there were cheers and applause. A short while later, we arrived at Woodruff Park Station for the grand opening ceremony. It had been a very smooth ride. We were welcomed by a tuba chorus, and various other musicians. Balloons, in colors of the streetcar, were strung throughout the event site.
There were prayers from ministers from the Sweet Auburn area. They included Doctor Raphael Warnock, Senior Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church and Big Bethel AME Senior Pastor Dr. John Foster. During the ride over, Rev. Warnock told me, "This is an exciting day for Atlanta, a great day for the Martin Luther King Historic District." Warnock said he's excited for many reasons, adding "It connects the heart of Atlanta's business community to the historic district and that can only be good for commerce and revitalization of this area."
Reed: Streetcar selfie Baby!
Among the dignitaries in attendance at the grand opening for the Atlanta Streetcar: MARTA CEO Keith Parker; Central Atlanta Progress President A.J. Robinson; Yvette Taylor, Regional Administrator for the Federal Transit Administration, and City of Atlanta COO Mike Geisler.
For the first three months, there is no cost to ride the Atlanta Streetcar. After that, it will be $1 per person ten years and older. An all-day pass will cost $3. There are a dozen stops: King Historic District, Dobbs Plaza, Auburn At Piedmont, Woodruff Park, Peachtree Center, Carnegie At Spring, Centennial Olympic Park, Luckie At Cone, Park Place, Hurt Park, Sweet Auburn Market, and Edgewood At Hilliard.

INTRODUCTION: Stimulation of angiogenesis in ischemic brains may be of major value in stroke therapy. Administration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is considered particularly effective as an angiogenic factor for hypoxia-related injuries. We therefore quantitatively compared the effect of VEGF on microvessels of normal and ischemic brain cortices. Vascular parameters of microvessels measured included changes in numerical (NA), volume (Vv), surface (Sv) and length (Lv) densities along with diameter. METHODS: VEGF165protein at 1μg/ml was infused into the common carotid artery of normal and ischemic adult male Sprague-Dawley rats with a miniosmotic pump for 7 days at 1 μl/hr (VEGF infusion therefore 1 ηg/hr). Animals (n = 3 or 4 per group) were sacrificed at 7 days post-surgery. Ischemia was induced by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery for 4 hours. Vascular parameters were quantitated by light microscopic morphometry. Normal and ischemic brains not infused by VEGF served as controls. RESULTS: Mean and S.D. of the vascular parameters (NA [# of vessels/mm2]; Vv[%]; Sv [mm2/mm3]; Lv [mm/mm3];D [μm]) of the different groups are as follows: A) Normal brains (462 ± 63; 2.00± 0.2; 13.9 ± 1.7; 925 ± 127; 5.48 ± 0.5) B) Normal brains (480 ± 38; 2.25± 0.3; 14.9 ± 0.8; 961 ± 76; 4.98 ± 0.3) + VEGF C) Ischemic brains (471 ± 47; 2.06± 0.2; 14.3 ± 1.4; 942 ± 94; 5.11 ± 0.8) D) Ischemic brains (579 ± 102; 2.04 ± 0.3; 16.2 ± 2.7; 1159 ± 205; 4.64 ± 0.4) + VEGF There are no significant differences between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: Intra-arterial infusion of VEGF165 protein for 7 days at 1 ηg/hr has no effect on the vascular parameters of normal or ischemic cortices. Infusion of VEGF alone may not be sufficient for inducing neovascularization in intact brain. Further studies specifically testing the appropriate concentration, duration, VEGF isoform(s), manner of administration (protein, plasmids or viral vectors), use of combinational angiogenic factors along with permeability or other side effects are critical to ascertain the angiogenic merits of VEGF for stroke therapy.

Have You Tended To Your Nest?
My first child is due to arrive in just four days. Throughout the pregnancy I have been amazed with the transformation my wife has undergone. There was the expected physical change, but the most fascinating for me were the emotional and instinctual changes.
This past weekend my wife suddenly requested that I organize every closet in our home while she cleaned all of the baseboards. We already have a fairly minimalist home, so this took un-cluttering and cleaning to the next level. But I shouldn't have been surprised. After all, my wife is nesting.
Nesting instinct is common to most animals, including humans. It is an uncontrollable urge to clean one's house brought on by a desire to prepare your home for a new baby. But it goes beyond simply cleaning. Nesting urges you to tie up loose ends, organize your life and even find closure to unresolved personal issues. It's a primal need to create the type of lifestyle and environment that best supports a baby's physical and emotional needs. And those nesting instincts don't just benefit a newborn baby. They can benefit all of us.
This week I urge you to let your nesting instincts take over. How can your home and lifestyle best serve your most important physical and emotional needs? Consider the following:
1. When you look around your home does it calm or stress you? Maybe it's time you de-cluttered. Here are some practical tips to help.
2. Are there any relationships you've been neglecting? Take the time to connect with those people most important to you.
3. Has a busy work schedule created stress for you or your family? Perhaps it's time to consider how work is affecting your life. Read more
4. Do you treat yourself with love and compassion? Maybe you need to eat healthier, exercise or just take the time to stop and breathe.
We all experience more fulfilling lives when we take the time to focus on the people and things that support our most important physical and emotional needs. Use your nesting instinct to help create a fulfilling life.
How do you tend to your nest? Do you have nesting stories from your pregnancy?

Now, birdfeeding enthusiasts can purchase nature and hobby related products anytime, day or night. Dedicated to "bringing people and nature together," the new Wild Birds Unlimited Online Store boasts an inventory of more than 160 birdfeeding products, including the freshest seed blends and suet, birdfeeders and houses, birdfeeding station hardware, binoculars, bird identification guides and other birdfeeding accessories. "It is critical in today's world to have multi-channel shopping; your customers expect it," said Jim Carpenter, President and CEO of Wild Birds Unlimited. "Customers want to shop when and how they want. Ecommerce is all about convenience and making an educated buying decision.

The original online store, launched in 1997 and closed in 2005, has been replaced with a more customer-friendly, easier to navigate site with a more complete line of birdfeeding hobby products. The initial model fell short of the company's mission to enhance their customer's joy of the hobby by offering a quick and convenient online shopping experience. "We're committed to offering our customers the best service, and our new Online Nature Shop is just one of the ways we strive to meet that objective," continued Carpenter. "Our customers will enjoy shopping the site because the expanded product offering provides customers with more opportunities to increase their hobby enjoyment." Wild Birds Unlimited, with more than 300 locations throughout the United States and Canada, specializes in bringing people and nature together with their birdfeeding and nature products, their expert advice and educational events.

fonYou's wins a joint award together with Telefónica for the Service "Segunda Línea Movistar"
Yesterday fonYou was announced one of the winners of the Global Telecom Business Awards 2012 at an event at the Sheraton Park Lane Hotel in London. The company won the award for best "Virtual Mobile Service Innovation" for the Service "Segunda Línea Movistar", introduced by Telefóncia in Spain last year.
The Segunda Línea ("Second Line") service, based on fonYou's XtraLine product, provides end customers with a second, virtual mobile phone line on their existing phones.
In addition, Segunda Línea offers its users advanced cloud-based service features such as a fully configurable voicemail, call and message filter, cloud phone book, or real-time activity register that can be accessed not only from smartphone applications but also from any mobile or desktop web browser.
Further innovations that fonYou has introduced with this service relate to the activation process: New customers can activate the service very easily within minutes by downloading an app (and with it, their new mobile number) from different app stores, by calling a special, automated service number or of course through the service web page.
The service was launched very successfully in March 2011 and has attracted a 6- digit number of customers since. The phenomenal success of the service is proven by the fact that both the original target segments and the number of distribution channels have been enlarged during 2012 to further increase the customer base.
This award is the second telecom industry award received by fonYou this year, following the "Global Vendor Awards" for "Best Newcomer" in April, and confirms fonYou's continued high relevance to the sector and status as one of the pioneers in Cloud Telephony services for mobile operators.
fonYou, a global technology company with a presence in Barcelona, Singapore and Mexico City, provides carrier-grade Cloud Telephony Services for mobile operators. The company has developed a proprietary technology platform, the OMT-9000, which is connected to the mobile operators' existing core networks and enables them to offer Cloud Telephony Services to their end customers.
These services put the end customers in total control of their mobile phone service as they allow them to configure advanced control settings for blocking, filtering or redirecting traffic; set up different voicemail greetings per contact or contact group; and access a complete history of their call records, SMS and voicemails from anywhere and in real-time.
fonYou's Cloud Telephony Services are highly attractive both to the customers for the utility they provide as well as to the operators for increasing revenues, market share and as a customer retention tool. In addition, fonYou's Cloud Telephony Services constitute basic building blocks which can be used by operators to quickly construct new products tailored to the needs of specific customer segments.
fonYou also operates its own mobile operator in Spain which enables the company to continuously improve its services and products and to gain valuable market insights through its own live customers.

Pornstar Name:
love having sex with young guys...their energy is awesome...they cum so much and so often....fill my ass , then my mouth
I have always liked making love with older men
Cute boy. Glad to see I'm not the only 40 something guy who enjoys the company of younger men. I'm in Sydney and currently seeing a ridiculously good-looking 19yo soldier with perfect body and enormous cock, who is mostly straight, but for some reason is totally crazy about me and he is an amazing fuck! Before him I was seeing a 24yo professional rugby league player (also mostly straight). I'm not sure if it's a mid-life crisis or the fact that these guys are just hot and have unlimited stamina.

Life. Love. Family. Our Perfect Imperfection. Living life as a Catholic, homeschooling family with three amazing, unique boys, a too-oft serious, frustrated and anxious but also loving momma, and a fun-loving, hardworking dad.

Why we are choosing to opt out
Paraphrasing one of our favorite teachers, "I'm a tester, not a teacher."
My sentiments exactly.
Mind you, the truth behind this statement is not by choice but by necessity, forced by the state and federal governments due to the near-constant standardized, or otherwise, testing.
My sons do have *some* amazing teachers, who are unable to do what they should be able to do (truly TEACH our kids) because they have to focus so much on testing, whether it be 30-day/monthly assessments in multiple subjects, or the THREE (I believe it was even 4 when the state of Michigan was still using MEAP) yearly standardized tests they have to give, and our kids have to take - Scantron in the Fall and Spring, and the replacement for the MEAP test, M-Step.
My boys will not be taking this new test for numerous reasons, that many others have written about in ways better than I can - just do a quick internet search and I'm sure you'll find many such articles which I won't link to here for my own reasons. However, my number 2 reason is the above: too many "tests" and not enough learning.
That brings me to my number one reason. My oldest child, you know my Aspie who has anxiety and is constantly worried about getting it trouble and what not? Well, about a month ago, one of his teacher's said something to the class in a "discussion" about the M-step. He just told me earlier this week, and while he couldn't recall which teacher it was, he very adamantly remembered what was said. I can see why he remembers, because of the fear it made him feel.
"If a student is out for the test, it's basically illegal, because it is technically stealing from the school, because the state won't give money to the school then." In other words, if a student doesn't take the test, they won't be counted for funding, and the school will receive less money from the state of Michigan. While the part about the school receiving money depending on student count is true, it does NOT mean my (or any child) is 'basically stealing' from anyone, and it's not illegal to opt out or not ensure the school gets funding because of it.
Let me restate that: My child was told, along with classmates, that if they opt out of the test, they ARE DOING SOMETHING ILLEGAL AND STEALING FROM THE SCHOOL. For all intents and purposes, this is what my TWELVE YEAR OLD son was told and understood it to mean. Indeed, he was so upset, that he at first didn't tell me, but planned to just take the test. When I told him and his brother that their dad and I would be opting them out, and they didn't need to worry too much about the test, he became upset and told me what he was told. He became visibly upset, on the verge of tears, telling me how he would be screwing up his entire life and go to jail then. Seriously??
He will, of course, not be stealing, nor doing anything illegal (nor go to jail) for NOT TAKING A TEST. He will also not be taking the test, and neither will his brother.
I have to go into the school with the opt-out form, and am unsure of the response I will be given. I also don't know what alternative activities they will be doing the days of the test - which may be as many as 5 days!! - but I am prepared to find out. If I am told that there is no plan, or they will be stuck in the office all day, some other action may be taken.
We are in the process of determining our course of action for next school year, as we may be moving, and if not, probably won't be continuing at our current school. Jason and I are considering every option, and about 80/20 on what that decision will be. This particular issue is only one of many that are causing us to make a change.

Menu Plan Monday: 3/2 - 3/8
It's a no-frills kind of week around here. Lots of simple meals that (mostly) everyone will eat with no complaints. The only ones I'm a bit hesitant about are Wednesday and Saturday. Jackson (our 3 year old) doesn't really like creamy or cheesy sauces, so I will probably keep some chicken breast separate before mixing in the alfredo sauce on Wednesday. He's never had steak florentine, but loves cheeseburgers - on or off the bun - so he will probably try it, but without macaroni and cheese on the side.
It's a funny thing actually. None of my boys liked mac and cheese for years. I think E and A might have both been 5 before they liked it. Of course, now, they LOVE it, at 12 and 9, especially the homemade baked version we usually have. This week, though, I am cheating. I actually bought the 24oz box of the blue box creamy mac and cheese (not the powdered stuff. Blech! None of us like any brand's take on that, even Annie's) instead of homemade or our usual "quick" choice of Annie's. The way my nearly teenage son - he'll be 13 in 5 months - Ethan can pack away food lately, I've got to make sure we have enough to serve him! ;) And Alex, our tween (10 in just 3 short months!) is right behind him on that. Just waiting for the growth spurts!
A couple of notes:
Our favorite store-bought spaghetti sauce is Muir Glen Organic garlic roasted garlic and it's actually reasonable in comparison to other national brands. Honestly I think it may be the best jarred pasta sauce I've ever eaten. *I say store-bought and jarred, because my dad still makes THE best spaghetti sauce I've ever had. I need to make some soon. That, his chili and his bean soup. MMMMM! Too bad it would only be Jason and I enjoying the chili and the bean soup. Or maybe the boys not digging soup is a good thing, more for me ;) *
Also Monday is usually our leftover night, to clean out the fridge before Tuesday morning trash pickup, but we don't have much in there!
Monday: Spaghetti with meat
Tuesday: Pizza buffet at a local restaurant (school fundraiser)
Wednesday: Chicken alfredo with broccoli, applesauce
Thursday: Leftovers - if there are any - otherwise, pancakes or other easy make-on-the-fly food.
Friday: (It's Lent) Broiled Salmon for us, fish stick for the boys, roasted sweet potatoes
Saturday: Steak Florentine, macaroni and cheese, carrots
Sunday: ? We will be out of town most of the day, so may eat dinner at a restaurant there or something quick and light once we get home depending on the time we leave.

Words, words and more words
In honor of March being National Reading Month and Dr. Suess' birthday tomorrow, we plan to do a lot of reading this month. Usually the boys' school has some type of reading program or activity for the month of March. Alex always has a set amount of days and minutes to read each month (minimum of 20 mins a day for 20+ days, and he has to fill in a calendar with book and pages read with a parent initialing each day).
Our goal is to each spend at least 30 minutes a day reading, with no set amount of books. I'd also like to go to the library to find some new books to check out. The school also has their Spring Scholastic Book Fair this month, and I'm volunteering just like every year.
Read 30 minutes every day of the month.
2 hours maximum of "screen time" (TV shows or videos on the Kindle) each day M-F after homework and reading.
Play video games only on Saturday and Sunday.
Write a blog post.
Do own laundry with minimal assistance from Mom.
Plan a dinner and cook it with help from Mom and Dad.

IGN Comics: Some of the biggest critical reception has come during the Gauntlet arc with the return of some of Spider-Man's biggest foes. Looking back on your revamps of these bad guys, which one stood out the most to me? Were there any foes you couldn't tackle that you wanted to?
Slott: Joe's Rhino stories! Those were a high point! I think the Gauntlet produced a lot of wins - Fred's Sandman and Chameleon stories, Mark's new Vulture, Zeb's Lizard arc, and culminating in Joe's Grim Hunt! This was a stellar run! Personally, it was fun for me. I wanted to tell my Mysterio story. And I did. So I was darn happy.
Waid: I'd have killed for Mysterio, but Slott had already called dibs and more power to him - he did a great Mysterio arc.
Kelly: Like I said, I'm proud of Rhino and Kraven (big thanks to Guggenheim for letting me take over the Rhino!) and I love Zeb's Lizard. Really I liked them all - we tried hard to bring back the classics in a new and compelling way, and overall I think we pulled it off.
IGN Comics: No doubt much of the BND was an evolution of ideas, but were there plots that were discarded? Any amusing, behind-the-scenes concepts or conversations that you guys can discuss?
Slott: The behind-the-scenes stuff I'm going to miss the most: all of Bob Gale's stories! Bob's a character! He's a hoot! Any moment when Bob got up, paced, and started to walk-and-talk you through an idea, you knew you were in for something good! I'll miss that so much!
Van Lente: There were a few, but I can't talk about them because I'm sure Wacker will use them in the future. He likes to use the whole buffalo. Like the Sioux.
Kelly: Nothing that won't get us arrested in most states.
IGN Comics: Looking back on the entirety of Brand New Day, what was your favorite story to read or to write?
Slott: Marc Guggenheim's done-in-one Flash Thompson story was my favorite. Loved that story. What was my favorite to write? That's tough. The most enjoyable experience was working on the Paper Doll story with Marcos Martin. The most thrilling-- on a fanboy level-- was when Steve called to tell me John Romita Sr. was drawing a cover for New Ways to Die. And the most intimidating-- and proudest moment-- was working on the lead feature for Amazing #600 with John Romita Jr., Klaus Janson, and Dean White.
Waid: My favorite to read is still the Slott/Romita Jr. issue #600 extravaganza. Now that's a superhero epic! The most fun to write was without a doubt the short tale in which Spidey meets Stephen Colbert. That could not have gone more smoothly, and I still love the idea of JJJ handing a presidential candidate a giant, oversized check for the grand sum of $100.
Kelly: Well, I'm getting repetitive, but the Rhino story was a blast to write - the original script was for a 50+ page comic, so there was some painful trimming, but I loved all of the emotion. The first issue with Chris Bachalo was great too.
Reading wise, I really like what everyone has done, but I keep going back to Waid's Shocker story, Zeb's Lizard, and Fred's Chameleon. They stuck with me for a variety of reasons.
IGN Comics: Any final thoughts on Brand New Day? Overall, how was the experience for you?
Slott: It was an honor-- especially to work with my fellow "Web-Heads". And, selfishly, it was a great learning experience to be able to read scripts, as they came in, from Zeb, Joe, Mark, Fred, Roger, Bob, and Marc. If you were a writer, trying to learn your trade, how much would you pay for the privilege of doing that? How is reading something like Joe Kelly's Hammerhead story or Mark Waid's "Unscheduled Stop" scripts from rough-to-finish-- how is that not going to help you with your craft? That was a joy!
Before signing off here, we often cite the crazy hours our editorial team, Steve Wacker and Tom Brennan, put in to get all 101 issues out (as well as annuals and side projects too!). But the greatest unsung heroes in this gigantic endeavor are our hard working letterers who just flat-out killed themselves to make the craziest deadlines-- so lots and lots of props to Joe Caramagna, who's been with us through most of this! And Cory Petit, who was with us at the start! We love you guys!
Van Lente: It was an incredibly unique and rewarding experience talking story with these writers -- and working on Spider-Man, the first character I really remember reading. It'll always be one of my best experiences in comics.
Kelly: A great run of books on my favorite character with a great bunch of talented collaborators, shepherded by passionate dedicated editors...pretty much a home run and a stand out time in my career! Thanks guys!
Waid: Wacktacular.
