Medical Project
The medical volunteers work at medical projects mainly in the mornings. These include clinic work, home based care, hospice care, and health education talks. Volunteers will learn how to provide care and how each of the projects works at the medical orientation session.
Afternoon Projects
All volunteers (medical, sports, and teaching) mix together for the afternoon projects. These include art club, reading club, building, painting, farming, working at the old people's home, YCTC, after school club, adult literacy club, sports, and Holy Cross futball.
Morning Medical
Health Talks - Heath talks are given weekly on a variety of topics that include hygiene, nutrition, infant care, HIV, infectious diseases, etc. The talks typically take place at clinics, but it is also possible to give talks at the local university or at the old people's home. Volunteers are expected to prepare posters for these talks, and there is plenty of old reference material in the house to learn from. The talks will be in English, but also translated by one of the medical program coordinators. Volunteers should expect to give health talks for either one morning per week, one morning per two weeks, or for a longer week-long session that takes place in the afternoons.
Clinics - There are a variety of different clinics that African Impact volunteers are sent to on a daily basis. Typically 2-3 volunteers will go to a clinic together (you will never be on your own unless you have had ample clinic experience). Volunteers spend approximately 2-3 mornings per 5-day week at a clinic. Duties at the clinics include:
Home Based Care (HBC)- There are about 5-7 different communities that African Impact volunteers visit three days per week for home based care. Typically 2 volunteers will be matched with a "caregiver" (a member of the community who translates, finds patients, and keeps records) who will walk with you to patient's houses. Volunteers spend approximately 1-2 mornings per 5-day week doing HBC. Duties include:
Hospice - Hospice responsibilities are quite variable depending on your previous medical experience, the staff working that day, and the things that need to get done. Volunteers should expect to go to the hospice about once every two weeks. It is helpful for volunteers to express desire to do certain tasks at the hospice (as long as they are capable), because sometimes the nurses aren't sure what jobs you should be doing. Nevertheless, some of the things you can expect to do include:
Old People's Home - When elderly people in Livingstone cannot take care of themselves and have no family, they are often moved to the Maramba Old People's home. These people generally have poor hygene and many health problems. African Impact volunteers are sent to the old peoples home for "check-ups", where they will be responsible for taking vitals and giving health/hygene advice to the people who live there. Volunteers should expect to go to the old people's home once every two weeks.
Afternoon Other
Art Club - Volunteers will prepare for art club by designing a project using materials found in the resource room. Typically the material choices include old cereal boxes, milk cartons, plastic bottles, paper, cardboard, and string. There are also plenty of markers, scissors, and glue, making the possibilities for art projects essentially endless. 2-3 volunteers will be sent to a classroom of usually about 20-40 kids where they will help the students make art! There are some cute photos of art club in the slideshow above.
Reading Club - Volunteers will be responsible for collecting books from the resource room of the house. Books are organized according to skill level, and most students know which skill level (color) they are. 2-3 volunteers will be sent to a classroom of usually 20-40 kids where they will read with the children. Often times the children want to play games like hangman, which is also perfectly acceptable.
After school - This is basically a free-for-all, with children of all ages running around, playing games, and ripping your hair out. Many volunteers find this to be the most fun and fulfilling afternoon program! 2-5 volunteers usually bring a plethora of old games, toys, and sports equipment... and the kids go nuts! Expect to play lots of local games like "chi tomato" and "do like I do".
YCTC - This is essentially the same idea as after school, but the children are the exact opposite. Volunteers will bring newer games, puzzles, coloring books and sports equipment to YCTC where children of all ages come to play. These children are often very calm, quiet, and shy. Expect to approach many coy children and ask them to play games with you.
Sports - In Zambia, "sports" basically means futball. 2-3 volunteers will go to one of the local schools where children from all over will gather for a game of futball. Volunteers are free to join in the game or referee!
Holy Cross Futball - This is a more intense version of "sports", where older kids on a futball team come to practice with their coach. The practices are organized and the kids don't need a large amount of direction. Volunteers are responsible for helping as needed with refereeing, etc.
Farming - There are two local farms that volunteers are sent to on a daily basis. The farms are community run and most of the food from the farms is given to members of the community who cannot afford food, or sold for the same purpose. Volunteers should wear clothes that they do not mind getting dirty, and shoes that they should expect to get wet. Some of the duties at the farm include:
Building/Painting - Many of the clinics and schools in Zambia are run-down and could really use some fix-'er-up! African Impact makes it a point to help renovate old buildings by painting them, or sending volunteers to aid in the building of new schools/clinics when there have been funds donated to the community. Therefore, volunteers should expect their duties to be just that! Building and painting!

Bill Buckner: ESPN's "Catching Hell" Depicts Horrifying Journey Caused By MediaSeptember 27, 2011
Bill Buckner can never get away from it.
Twenty-five years after the worst moment of his life, people are still writing, reading, watching and talking about that nightmare of a night.
Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney's documentary Catching Hell chronicles the painful aftermath of Buckner's infamous 1986 gaffe and the 2003 incident involving Steve Bartman, aka public enemy No. 1 for the Chicago Cubs tortured fan base.
Gibney titled the two-hour documentary Catching Hell because life since the incidents has been nothing short of horrific.
The constant media attention affected Buckner in his personal life, it made the subconscious of Boston, and America in general believe it was all one man's fault. The documentary does a great job of showing how it was the media that failed to look at any other of the other factors that went into the infamous Game Six.
Buckner said it was incredibly difficult for him to forgive the media "for what they put me and my family through."
The constant attention paid to the gaffe by the newspapers, both local and nationally, was an everyday reminder that Buckner was the reason the Mets ended up winning the World Series.
Luckily for Buckner, the Red Sox have won two championships in the last decade and the fans have learned to accept their former villain. He even threw out the first pitch to kickoff the 2008 season, a year after their second championship in four years.
Recently he appeared on an episode of HBO's hit show Curb Your Enthusiasm, where he ended up catching a baby that had been stuck in a high-rise building that was on fire.
The credits roll as Buckner receives a standing ovation.
Finally, all of the demons brought about by his fans and the media have been extinguished, but documentaries like this one remind us of how influential the media can be.

en de ziekte van Alzheimer en Parkinson.*
een studie met muizen blijkt dat Glutathion de ziekte van Alzheimer en Parkinson
zou kunnen voorkomen en bestrijden. Bij deze ziektes doet een bepaald eiwit
(EAAC1 bij muizen en EAAT3 bij mensen) niet goed functioneren waardoor de opname
van cysteïne in de hersenneuronen geblokkeerd wordt. Door deze blokkade wordt
wordt er minder glutathion aangemaakt en dientengevolge hebben de neuronen
lagere waarden aan glutathion waardoor er meer oxidatieschade in de hersenen
ontstaat. In de test werden de muizen met dit gebrek gesupplementeerd met NAC (N-acetylcysteine,
een vorm van cysteïne) waardoor de glutathionwaarden en de weerstand tegen
oxidatie in de neuronen weer normaal werden. Inmiddels zijn de onderzoekers aan
het bestuderen of deze resultaten ook bij de mens het geval zijn.
Brain Antioxidant Linked To Alzheimer's And Parkinson's
study conducted at the San Francisco VA Medical
Center has identified a protein found in both mice
and humans that appears to play a key role in protecting neurons from oxidative stress,
a toxic process linked to neurodegenerative illnesses including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
study, led by Raymond Swanson, MD, chief of neurology and rehabilitation
services at SFVAMC, identified the protein -- known as EAAC1 in mice and as
EAAT3 in humans -- as the main mechanism through which the amino acid cysteine
is transported into neurons. Cysteine is an essential component of glutathione,
which Swanson terms "the most important antioxidant
in the brain."
had been thought previously that the main function of the protein was to remove
excess glutamate, a neurotransmitter, from brain cells.
known that neurons don't take up cysteine directly, and it's never been clear
exactly how it gets there," says Swanson, who is also professor and vice
chair of neurology at the University of California, San Francisco. "This
study provides the first evidence that EAAC1 is the mechanism by which cysteine
gets into neurons -- and that transporting cysteine is probably its chief
findings are currently available in the Advance Online Publication section of
Nature Neuroscience.
such as glutathione provide protection from oxidative stress, which kills cells
through the "uncontrolled reaction of lipids in the cells with oxygen--basically,
burning them out," says Swanson. Since the brain uses a lot of oxygen and
is "chock full of lipids," it is particularly vulnerable to oxidative
stress, he notes.
the first part of the study, Swanson and his co-authors observed a colony of
mice deficient in the gene responsible for the production of EAAC1 and compared
their behavior with that of a colony of normal, or "wild type," mice.
They noticed that around the age of 11 months -- old age for a mouse -- the
gene-deficient mice began to act listlessly, not groom themselves properly, and
exhibit other signs of senility. In contrast, the wild type mice "looked
and acted totally normal," according to Swanson.
in postmortem examination, the researchers found that the brains of the
EACC1-deficient mice had abnormally enlarged ventricles -- openings within the
brain that provide a path for cerebrospinal fluid -- while the ventricles of the
wild type mice were normal. Enlarged ventricles "also occur in Alzheimer's
patients," Swanson notes.
addition, it was found that the EAAC1-deficient brains had fewer neurons in the
hippocampus, and that all neurons in the hippocampus and cortex showed evidence
of oxidative stress, unlike in the wild type mice.
researchers then compared brain slices from younger mice in both groups. They
found that it took ten times less hydrogen peroxide -- a powerful oxidant -- to
kill slices from the EAAC1-deficient mice than it took to kill slices from the
normal mice. This demonstrated that brains of mice unable to produce EAAC1 were
ten times as vulnerable to oxidative stress as mice with the ability to produce
researchers also found that the neurons of the EAAC1-deficient mice contained
lower levels of the antioxidant glutathione compared to those of the normal mice.
together, these results "support the idea that oxidative stress contributes
to aging" in the brain, a well-known concept that Swanson calls "appealing,"
but difficult to prove or disprove. "This certainly adds credence to the
idea," he says.
the final part of the study, Swanson and his team investigated whether oxidative
stress in EAAC1-deficient mice might be reversible.
several days, a group of gene-deficient mice were fed N-acetylcysteine, an oral
form of cysteine that is readily taken up by neurons. When their neuron slices
were compared with slices from untreated gene-deficient mice, it was found that
N-acetylcysteine "had completely corrected the biochemical defect" in
their neurons, recounts Swanson. "Their glutathione levels were normal,
their ability to withstand hydrogen peroxide toxicity was normal, and the
oxidants we saw in the neurons in response to oxidative challenges were normal."
Based on the results of the current study, Swanson and his group are working to determine whether EAAC1 expression is altered in neurodegenerative illnesses such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Should this prove to be the case, says Swanson, then manipulation of EAAC1 levels "might provide a novel approach" to the treatment of these diseases in the future. ( Januari 2006) (Opm. NAC is een precursor voor Glutathion, meer over Glutathion en een nog betere precursor kijk hier.)

The worst being the internal builder, which is used by the MinGW toolchain on Windows, doesn't seem to be picking up resource changes and thus never builds.This might be related to the recent changes to RefreshScopeManager (per configuration refresh, bug 374442, 375859 ). It seems obvious to me that this one wasn't reviewed or tested enough before getting committed, I have found many problems with the limited testing I did. I just think we should test more in general.
I'm also seeing the refresh not being done on the initial project build at project creation time and thus not finding any binaries breaking the initial debug.
I'm wondering if it's just me as I consider these to be fundamental test cases and if our community is going to run into them, I'd find that pretty embarrassing. Is it just me?

Monsters vs. Aliens premiered in Hollywood over the weekend and SheKnows has your live feed from the entire event. Stars Kiefer Sutherland, Reese Witherspoon, and Will Arnett all stop by to say hi and let us all know a little bit more about the epic battle of Monsters vs. Aliens.
Witherspoon portrays a normal human being who has some extraordinary things happen to her. As she joins the fight against invading aliens, Witherspoon's voice lends a quiet power to the super-human leading the battle. Reese's Susan Murphy is a normal Southern California girl until she is hit by a meteor from outer space that makes her almost 50-feet tall.
Aliens are invading and the military grabs Susan – who is now renamed Ginormica – and puts her alongside a bunch of monsters to do battle. Helping her is the insect-headed Dr. Cockroach (Hugh Laurie), the half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link (Arnett), a 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus and the beautiful blue blob known as B.O.B (Seth Rogan).
Dreamworks' has taken SheKnows and our readers on the ride that is a Hollywood premiere of Monsters vs. Aliens.
Witherspoon looks fantastic and it is also terrific to see Kiefer portray somebody other than a man barking orders trying to save the world. The Office star Rainn Wilson also makes a red carpet appearance and shares why he had to make the Aliens vs. Monsters red carpet scene -- he's one of the film's stars!

Top-seeded Militia set for Sunday's playoff showdown
Published 11:46 pm, Friday, October 12, 2012
Having run over, around and through each of its 10 opponents during its perfect regular season, the Western Connecticut Militia semipro football team has turned its attention to the New England Football League playoffs.
The Militia, fresh off last week's first-round bye, will host the Connecticut Panthers in a divisional-round game Sunday at 1:30 p.m. at Immaculate High School in Danbury. The winner advances to the NEFL's Triple-A semifinals next week.
The Militia finished first in the Southern Division and, like each of the four division winners, earned a bye in last week's wild-card playoff round. The Panthers, who finished second in the Western Division, defeated the Hartford Whalers last week to advance.

Economy Leaves Voters with Important Decisions
Three months ago, the New York Times referred to the 120,000 jobs created in March as "disappointing." The number of jobs added in April, originally released as 115,000, was revised down to just 77,000. Today, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the number of jobs added to the economy in May- a mere 69,000. How will the New York Times refer to this month's job report? How about 'epic failure'?
President Obama's administration sold the $825 billion stimulus package by promising that unemployment would be below 6 percent at this point in 2012. Without the stimulus, they projected unemployment would currently stand around 7 percent. Instead, the American people got the worst of both. Unemployment is rising, job creation is shrinking, and each American now owes, on average, an estimated $50,000 to the government.
Mitt Romney has already described the present jobs report as "devastating." Although unemployment is now at 8.2 percent, it may be closer to 20 percent when factoring in people who are underemployed. Two-thirds of Americans currently think that the country is headed in the wrong direction and, as France doubles down on failed economic policies with a new socialist president, now is as good a time as ever for us to head in a different direction and finally put an end to the fiscal insanity.
It is imperative for voters to recognize this dichotomy. Do we want another four years of Barack Obama? Are we going to allow Orrin Hatch to continue raising our national debt by trillions of dollars or will we vote for Dan Liljenquist, who has a proven record of reforming broken systems? (He even received the nickname "The Change Agent.") Would you rather have a limited government candidate in Ted Cruz or a moderate, tax-hiking candidate in David Dewhurst?
The contrast is huge and the consequences are dire. It's time for Americans to take back their country, their money, and their freedom and to keep the American dream alive by lowering unemployment and giving everyone a chance at prosperity.
Let's begin by voting for Scott Walker, Sam Aanestad, and Steve King on Tuesday, June 5.

literally 'pictures of the floating world' was applied to the popular arts of painting, woodblock prints and illustrated books that depicted life in the great urban centres of Japan in the Edo or Tokugawa period (1615 - 1868). In 1661 the Japanese novelist Asai Ryoi (died 1691) defined ukiyo as 'living only for the moment, gazing at the moon, snow, cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, enjoying wine, women and song, and just drifting along the currents of life like a gourd floating down a river'.
Evolved from the older tradition of painting everyday life, ukiyo-e emerged with the new urban cultures of the early Edo period. Woodblock prints and illustrated books were produced to meet the ever-increasing popular demand for ukiyo-e. Entrepreneurial publishers commissioned designs form artists, supervised the carvers and printers, and finally sold the finished prints to the public. Print runs depended on the demand of the market: a print could be issued in the thousands should it prove to be popular or withdrawn from production if it failed to sell. The common people could afford to buy wookblock prints, which were relatively inexpensive. Like present-day posters, the colourful prints were pinned up as decorations or memorabilia; when they were first produced, they were not intended as rare works to keep.

Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester was spotted holding hands with actor Justin Long, outside La Poubelle in Hollywood. The duo had dinner together on Sunday evening.
Leighton, 25, and Justin, 32, remained at the restaurant for two hours, departing after midnight.
A source says: "They were happily willing to talk to fans who approached them."
Representatives of the two actors offered no comment about the status of their relationship.
Leighton Meester has been linked to several actors alongside whom she played. The brunette dated fellow Gossip Girl star Sebastian Stan, whom she separated last year. Last January, rumors mentioned that she was in love with Garrett Hedlund, her co-star in Country Strong.
For his part, Justin Long has had a rather unstable relationship with actress Drew Barrymore. They broke up last year.

The US Senate has begun debating a key immigration bill that could give legal status to many of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants. Last week, President George W Bush and a bipartisan group of senators crafted a compromise version of the bill that would also strengthen border controls. The deal followed months of bitter debate and the bill's critics are continuing to voice opposition. The proposal needs to be passed by both houses of Congress to become law.
President Bush, who has made immigration reform one of his priorities, has said he wants to see new legislation in place by the end of this year. It is a strong compromise and the best chance we will have to finally fix this broken system
Sen Edward Kennedy
The bill's backers in the Senate are hoping it wins swift approval and avoids being caught up in the upcoming election cycle as politicians turn their attention to the 2008 presidential vote. But Republican senator Jeff Sessions, who opposes the bill, said it was "unthinkable" that the Senate would finish debating by the end of the week. "I'm prepared to use whatever tactics are appropriate to resist that," he said. The House of Representatives is expected to try to frame its own legislation in July.
The BBC's James Coomarasamy, in Washington, says Mr Bush is likely to face quite a fight there. The president will be able to sign the bill into law, only if the two proposals are reconciled.

Another Human Genome Project: A Private Company's Plan Shocks the Genetics Community
Travis, John, Science News
Consider it modern biology's equivalent of the fabled race between the tortoise and the hare--except that the prizes at this finish line are the priceless secrets of the human body and the tortoise may not repeat its legendary victory.
In the role of tortoise is the international Human Genome Project, a $3 billion worldwide effort--funded by U.S. agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Energy--to decipher the complete human genetic sequence by 2005. Playing the hare are J. Craig Venter, a maverick scientist with a knack for startling the genetics community, and Perkin-Elmer Corp. of Norwalk, Conn., the leading maker of automated DNA sequencing machines. With a pistol shot signaling the start of a scientific race that few people anticipated, Venter and Perkin-Elmer announced May 9 their intention of creating a new company whose goal is to unravel the human genome in just 3 years--and for a measly $200 million to $300 million.
"This is a private company paying to sequence the human genome and give it to the public," says Venter.
Knowing little about the new effort, many scientists, particularly officials overseeing the worldwide genome project, are still contemplating how to react. Some express skepticism about the strategy, known as whole-genome shotgun sequencing, that the as-yet-unnamed company has embraced. They are also concerned about what the company plans to do with the massive amount of genetics data it will generate and what access other scientists will have to it.
"What we're doing is to produce the complete human genome sequence to a very high accuracy and with nothing missing," says John Sulston, director of the Sanger Centre in Cambridge, England, which plans to sequence one-third of the human genome as part of the now 8-year-old worldwide effort. "I'm sure that the product they're going to produce will be of lower quality, and we consider it inadequate."
Supporters of the shotgun strategy respond that speed is of the essence. "The whole-genome shotgun approach would leave gaps and regions where the sequence is less certain, but I still think it's the best approach," says James L. Weber of the Marshfield (Wis.) Medical Research Foundation, who last year coauthored a paper arguing that the strategy should be applied to human DNA. "The greatest cost of sequencing the genome is the cost of not having the sequence. It's the cost of missed opportunity. Pharmacologists and biochemists need new targets for diabetes, obesity, epilepsy, asthma, etcetera in order to develop better treatments, and it can take 5 to 15 years to develop a new drug. These factors overwhelm concerns about incomplete information and imperfections."
Venter also dismisses criticisms of the shotgun strategy, arguing that the data produced by his new company will equal, if not surpass, that generated by the worldwide effort. "This is going to be an incredibly complete, incredibly accurate genome sequence," he says.
Venter has a record of backing up such forceful claims. While an investigator at NIH, he hit upon a technique to identify quickly most of the 50,000 to 80,000 genes in the human genome. The method used bits of single-stranded DNA, so-called expressed sequence tags (ESTs), which represent part of a gene's sequence, as lures to identify a gene's complete protein-coding sequence. NIH skepticism about the method prompted Venter to leave and establish the Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) in Rockville, Md., where he pursued the project privately. He and other scientists have since used ESTs to identify an estimated 80 percent of all human genes.
The EST method ignores much of the genome, however, including the regulatory DNA sequences that control the protein-coding portion of a gene. Nor can ESTs identify every gene.
Consequently, ESTs can't provide all the useful information contained in the complete human genome--and sequencing full genomes happens to be another of Venter's talents. …

Cleaning with earbuds may cause infections
- Details
- Written by by Queen Munguti for Kenyakidz
Kenyan parents have been warned against using ear buds to clean the inner parts of their children's ears as it only adds to the wax already present, which could lead to ear blockage or an infection.
"When one uses ear buds to clean their ears, it pushes the wax deep into the ear rather than clean it out," said Dr Betty Mutio of the ear, nose and throat clinic at Nairobi Hospital. "When wax is pushed into the ear, it can lead to ear blockage or cause an ear infection."
The best way to clean a child's ear is by using prescribed ear drops and using a bathing or baby wipes while washing them.
"It is advisable to clean the visible part of the ear year or rather the outer ear if the ears are dirty. Ear drops helps remove wax but incase the wax builds up, it is advisable to take them to a doctor for cleaning."
Parents should also note that ears are self cleaning and that wax does not mean that ears are dirty. Ear wax is produced by the ear therefore it has its functions.
"It helps protect the ear drum and ear canal by providing a waterproof lining for the ear, helping keep it dry and preventing germs , dirt and dust," said Dr.Mutio.
By using an ear bud, the wax is pushed down the ear canal which will cause hearing problems for the child. But it is not only children who are likely to suffer from hearing problem also adults can suffer from the same.
"It is actually recommended that nothing including a finger should be put in one's ear because of the risk it poses to the ear drum," said Dr.Mutio

Disaster recovery for the masses?
Can DR cover most applications, or is it still just for mission-critical services, asks analyst Tony Lock
This Article Covers
Most organisations, even small ones, have some kind of plans in place to help their operations recover from disasters, whether that be system failure, power outage or the loss of a building.
10 mistakes to avoid in your disaster recovery planning process
Learn how cloud is emerging as a key option for disaster recovery due to benefits such as reduced costs and utilisation of your provider's skills if you don't have them in-house.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.

Yet few have fully documented plans that have been tested.
And in the majority of cases, even when measures have been taken IT disaster recovery (DR) tends to cover only the most important, mission-critical applications and services.
But with users and business processes now heavily dependent on IT systems, isn't it time to think about extending DR to a much wider range of applications?
Developments in the IT landscape over the past few years could mean it is now possible for organisations to broaden the scope of the systems they protect with disaster recovery capabilities (see figure below).
Advances in networking and virtualisation, coupled with a growing maturity of cloud and hosted services, could provide organisations, large and small, with the ability to extend disaster recovery to a much wider range of applications than previously possible.
When modern data protection and management software are added to the mix, worries about cost and complexity – the usual inhibitors of IT DR – can become controllable.
Expanding a disaster recovery plan
The starting point for any review or improvement initiative to expand DR is getting an accurate catalogue of the applications a business is running.
This sounds simple, but few organisations have an accurate understanding of the software and services they use, and even fewer know how important each is to the business, and hence in which order IT DR could or should be extended.
Download premium content on disaster recovery
With this information available, the next step is to establish the desired recovery time objectives (RTOs).
Systems running Tier 1, business-critical applications are likely to need fast recovery times in the event of any disaster, while other systems may have less rigorous requirements.
Depending on the business importance of different services, organisations may be able to use a number of "hot", "warm" or "cold" standby recovery solutions.
Modern data protection systems, network connectivity and cloud solutions combine to provide cost-effective options able to meet many, if not all, DR requirements.
It is therefore worth organisations working through their application and service portfolios and setting new objectives based on shifting cost and complexity lines, as well as the escalating demands of your users.
Implementing DR effectively depends on using the right technology, possibly in conjunction with cloud services, and implementing robust operational processes with as much automation as possible
Tony Lock, Freeform Dynamics
In addition to the RTOs mentioned above, other matters to consider include the recovery point objectives (RPOs), security and compliance matters, as well as the need to automate DR as much as possible.
This is certain to interest line of business managers charged with keeping their departments functioning at all times, who may well find themselves under pressure from external regulators to be able to demonstrate adequate business continuity and DR arrangements.
But while things have become a lot easier and cheaper, implementing DR effectively is still not a trivial matter.
Success depends on using the right technology, possibly in conjunction with cloud services, and implementing robust operational processes with as much automation as possible.
This will translate into obtaining suitable tools that are functionally capable but which also have best practices embedded in them in the form of templates, policies and so on.
Such systems should also be capable of automating both data protection workflows and, more importantly, disaster recovery processes.
When did you last look at the applications you support and the DR capabilities you have in place for them? Too long ago?

Since I can't sleep – I might as well blog, right? I'll just post this in the morning...
I'm playing the waiting game. I went for my second interview on Monday. I don't know how it went. I like it. I want to work there... I just... don't know. I don't know if I sounded smart. Asked enough questions... made it seem like I really wanted to work there... its just weird. I don't know if I messed it up. So instead of worrying about it = I just did my nails. That's what I usually do.
On Tuesday (today for me) – I was able to meet up with TJ for lunch since he was over on my side of the river to audit a pharmacy. That was nice – we usually don't get to see each other during the week unless we're going to a wedding (seriously). Then I stocked up on healthy groceries. I made a GIANT salad full of veggies. I think that's part of my problem = not buying the healthy stuff and then eating whatever is around in my parents house. This is a horrible, horrible habit. I need to get myself down to the farm stands now that its summer.
Anyway after lunch TJ got some good news. St. Charles, MO has just gotten its very own CHL (minor league professional hockey) team. Its brand spanking new – and they are having an open tryout in late August. I don't know if I mentioned it, but TJ is a retired goalie. He didn't play in college, and would have probably played at Wisconsin, but he decided to enlist in the Navy instead. One very unlucky injury later he had to medically discharge from the Navy and they basically won't let him back in even though he's tried – he's had too many injuries and concussions.
So back to the hockey thing – this is basically the one thing that TJ has wanted to do his entire life, so the thought of possibly playing professional hockey at ALL for any team makes him ridiculously excited. And I know how much he loves it and wants to go for it, so I'm supporting him 100%.... but we're both outta shape. He's got less than two months to lose a belly and get his flexibility and stamina back up to par to give a good showing at the tryout.
He's so focused on this that he's going to hit it hard. Today he worked on his food plan and reorganized his parents basement (yep – living at home to save $$ like me) to get his weights back in order. He even hung up motivational hockey posters. Then he went to bed three hours before he normally does, so that he can get up before work and lift.
I'm kind of sitting back flabbergasted at just how motivated he has become so quickly. We both have gained weight since we started dating. I fell into a bad trap of wanting to please him and cook him delicious food while recovering from my surgery. But that is no longer an excuse. He even told me he's going to go back to a no-beer/drinking policy until after the tryouts. No excess carbs. He's going to do lean chicken and pork with brown rice and corn (did I mention he doesn't eat veggeies?) – and do a sh*t ton of cardio in addition to lifting.
I am 100% supporting this boy. If it takes 2 months for him to have a shot at his dream – why not try? I already told him if they took him on as a goalie, that I'd support his decision to leave his current job – even if it was a significant pay cut. I've been thinking about this all day. No matter what happens this will be good for him. He can meet hockey guys in StL that he's been wanting to get connected to, so even if he doesn't make this team, he can find a club team he likes in the area.
Out of all of the positives, I am just wondering what its going to be like to see him drop a lot of weight and gain muscle so quickly, when I know I won't be able to do the same. So for the ladies on here who have watched their SOs lose weight rapidly while you struggle, is there anything I need to watch out for? Any coping stuff? I'm just trying to stay positive and think about the hot hockey boyfriend I'm getting out of this deal.
Also, this will mean more activities outside. He's been a lazybones, not wanting to go on walks or anything – and suddenly its all *cardio, cardio, cardio!* He told me we might not spend as much time together if he's at the gym – and I called BS – I said I'd be there with him. So we'll see. I'm optimistic that this will have at least given TJ the shot in the arm he needed to be motivated to get back in shape. Ditto for me. I tried on a few pairs of my conference/dress pants... and they didn't quite fit in the thighs. I need to get my treadmill hooked up in my garage so that I can train – come 80+ humid weather or not and sweat like a mo-fo out in that garage at a 5-10% incline. My legs are in shambles. Its almost shocking to see how far out of shape I really have become.
My arms are currently sore from my lifting tonight. My abs are sore from crunches.... and my brain is sore from overthinking things. It's a common thing I do. I also will not be bugging my boy about a ring anytime soon. That has just fallen down his priority list right now. He was planning on going up to the family jeweler with his mother to broker the "family discount" on my ring... but I'm going to take a leap and say that he's not going to do it until AFTER August 25th now.
Oh well – I am happy for him. Legit happy. I honestly hope he gets it, and if he doesn't we'll both be going to games at the Family Area since its about 5 minutes from his house. *Fingers still crossed on good job news...*
Everyone have a happy and healthy 4th!
Edit: Wednesday
I weighed in. HOLY F*CKING SH*T. Sorry for the cursing but I weigh 199. FML. Seriously hitting this hardcore now.
Slightly depressing. 15# gain! What the heck!

Well let's say you caught it early enough to do something about it! Now that you have the BF on board for his own health, getting yours back as a priority will be easier. I know how it is - something about meeting a mate makes people fat. haha.
So yep, get yer butt in gear! You can do it!

Sometimes it takes that "something" to get you going. Maybe this will be that for you. I don't know about you - but I'm competitive and if my guy was hitting the gym, I wouldn't want to be outdone. It's awesome that you will be able to work out together and motivate each other.
Try not to be too discouraged about the gain. You've lost so much - taking that 15 off won't take long at all.

Wow - a lot going on right now! That is so cool that the bf is going to try out for the hockey team! That will definitely be both huge motivation and probably some frustration to see him shape up. It makes me crazy that my former soccer playing DH can drop 15 lbs just by thinking about it pretty much. Stupid body thinking we need fat to birth babies...grumble grumble...
Summer is the easiest time to eat healthy - get your butt to the farmer's market and no excuses!
Good luck!

Sorry about the gain. Sometimes that is the only thing that will get us back in gear, though.
Great to hear he is so passionate about the hockey stuff! My boyfriend and I started sparkpeople together, and he is almost at his target weight, while I am at least a year away still. it is tough. i'm jealous for a lot of reasons. with all of the weight training he does, he has some nice muscles now, which means he has to eat a lot, which is tough for me. sometimes we fight about food. mainly because im always ready for dinner at like 630, but sometimes he isnt because he can come home from lab and eat a huge snack and not be hungry for dinner until like 9, and i cant do that. or he can drink 4 beers and still be in his calorie range for the day. ugh. he also super laps me in the pool when we swim, which makes me sad.
on the other hand, we always workout together, and so its really great to have a partner. though, usually i am the one having to motivate us, not vice versa. he is almost always supportive, and understands that i can only bike 4 miles right now.
crossing my fingers for your postdoc position!

Maybe since he is going to be hitting it hard and you want to as well, you can set up a challenge for the two of you. How many minutes can you get/week at the gym? Who can lose the biggest % of bodyweight in x-number of days. That way instead of working out with him because he has a tangible goal to get to for his hockey tryout, you have something specific to strive for as well!

Pinball Time Machine
By Heather Oelklaus
12 Jul 2008
In this day and age, there are so many game systems we have to choose from but the old pinball machines fascinate me the most. I spent the afternoon in the Manitou Springs Penny Arcade and found some wonderful hidden treasures. I guess I never really looked hard at the old graphics on the machines until I was waiting for my turn to play and it took forever. I was getting bored waiting for my ball so I took a walk with my camera and had the best time zooming in on these dinosaurs.
What intrigued me the most was the amount of subliminal imagery. The older pinball machines portraying the wholesome women with guns just seemed so odd to me. Then I found one that had the image of a woman watching a man play pinball, but the machine he was playing on had the same woman and himself playing. It was like an alternate universe. Then there was a machine that had a small graphic in the corner of a man looking at a girlie magazine titled "Fun, Fun, Fun" and behind him stood a large woman at a candy machine trying to decide what to eat. How strange of imagery to appear on a pinball machine! Of course there was the usual curvaceous semi-naked women being displayed with lights flickering on and off, but the older the machine...the more clothes the women were wearing. The pinball machines turned into recorded history for me displaying rockets pointed at the moon and women with flipped up hairdos.
Photographing these paint peeling pinball machines made me wonder how long they will survive. They have stood the test of time so far and I hope they are still around for another 50 years.

WATERVILLE – In another game at another time, Aaron Saucier would've been kept on the bench, the risk of a game suspension because of penalties too much to risk.
But this wasn't any other game, and an exhausted Waterville hockey team needed its big, junior defenseman on the ice.
"I normally would've have pulled him," Waterville Coach Dennis Martin said. "But we needed him out there."
Saucier, playing with four penalties when a fifth would've triggered an automatic one-game suspension, scored with 36 seconds left in overtime to lift No. 4 Waterville past No. 5 Maranacook/Hall-Dale/Winthrop 3-2 in an Eastern Class A quarterfinal Tuesday night at Alfond Rink.
"I saw an opportunity and I took it," said Saucier. "I just got lucky enough to be the one to get the shot."
The No. 4 Purple Panthers (9-9-1) now face the daunting task of playing No. 1 Lewiston (15-1-2) in a regional semifinal Saturday at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee. The Blue Devils, who had a bye to the semifinals, defeated Waterville twice in the regular season by a combined 16-2.
MHW finished 11-7-1 and had its season end in the quarterfinals against Waterville for the second straight year.
"We battled," MHW Coach Andy Dube said. "We gave it everything we had. The guys are really disappointed. It was a good opportunity for our young kids, but tough for the seniors."
The goal didn't come without a touch of controversy.
Moments before the game-winner, players on both teams stopped skating, thinking a penalty was coming. By the time they realized play was continuing, Matt Lee hit Saucier in the slot with a well-placed pass.
"None of the refs had their arms in the air so I kept going," Saucier said. "I got a great pass and put it in."
"It was stressful," said MHW senior captain Robbie Clark. "A lot of people thought there was a whistle, and then they put it in."
The goal capped a wild game in which the Hawks rallied from a 2-1 deficit when Dan Condon scored with three minutes left in regulation.
Tyler Plante, playing in goal for the injured Jon Dale, stopped 36 shots for MHW.
"We proved some people wrong," MHW senior captain Connor Lacasse said. "We were running them down in the end. I'm proud of this team."
Tim Locke scored two short-handed goals for Waterville, the second one snapping a 1-1 tie just 21 seconds into the third period.
"We had to go all out," Locke said. "It was either that or we were done. We wanted to get back to the Colisee and that's what we did."
Waterville trailed 1-0 after the first period but tied things up just under six minutes into the second on yet another short-handed goal.
The Panthers pressured the offensive zone before Massey set up Locke in the slot with a nice pass. Locke, who had room and time to shoot, wound up for a slap shot and buried the puck top corner over the blocker side to pull the Panthers even.
"I kind of whiffed on the shot," Locke said. "But I got the top of (the puck) and got it in."
The Hawks came in looking to do two things: Weather the anticipated Waterville storm and keep it close. They did that and more, taking a 1-0 lead when Tyler Bryant beat Waterville goalie Cody Thibodeau at the back post just 3:19 into the game.
"It was an unbelievable game," Dube said. "We had them. We had our chances late."
Added Martin: "We stepped up. But give (MHW) credit, they played their hearts out."

So lately I got into Rift beta, and of course everyone talks about WoW, and on this forum especially the "We're not in Azeroth anymore" thread, people seem to hate on Rift. Well i was wondering, what do all of you think Rift is like? Personally, i think it's a better, and similar version of WoW yet different in MANY areas, such as the souls and the immense Rift invasions where you have like 30 people in a particular raid group to kill some very tough bosses (health wise). Also for just a beta version, the number of glitches is incredibly low and smooth gameplay.
I feel it takes the problems of WoW, and improves them (such as numerous talent possibilities, i'm an altoholic in WoW and get tired of the same crap over and over, this is endless possibilities in Rift. Also, the graphics are much nicer (which is obvious, since WoW is 6 years old). Overall i just think it's a better game, without having any experience with end game so far so i can't give an opinion on that. So what do all of you think about both games, what do you hate about rift, or what do you hate about WoW?

Chronic joint pain is one of the most frustrating and devastating things for an athlete or weekend warrior. Having a love for exercise, but being restricted by the body's joint pain, is nothing short of infuriating. Rather than cancelling your gym membership and watching a whole lot more Netflix, you can still continue exercising without the joint pain. All it takes is a bit of strategy and determination.
Make Changes During Your Workout
Working out each day with the wrong form is a quick and easy way to cause joint pain. Lunges are often the main culprit, since the move requires such drastic bending of the knees. When you squat, your knees should never move forward so significantly that your heels come off the floor. Your shins should stay vertical, heels firmly on the floor, to take stress off of your knees and onto your hips. Since the hips are larger, they are designed to take more of the workload that your poor knees.
It's also important to really warm-up before any workout so that your joints don't start screaming at you for a cold start. Five minutes of light movement is all your body needs to get your blood flowing and help it prepare for more intense movement.
Head to an Orthopedic Surgeon
Sarasota orthopedic surgeons make their living helping people recover from chronic joint pain, even pain that you might think is untreatable. Stem cell treatment, for example, is growing in application every day to help permanently alleviate pain in the shoulder, hip, knee, and elbow regions. In the knee alone, stem cell therapy can help generate new cartilage and delay further degeneration in order to better cushion the knee and reduce pain while running, walking, and lifting weights.
Various other therapies and surgeries are available to stop the pain at its source and allow you to continue exercising pain-free for many years to come.
