A coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is a surgery to restore blood flow to the heart muscle. This is done by using blood vessels from other parts of the body to make a new route for blood to flow around blocked coronary (heart) arteries.
Reasons for Procedure
Atherosclerosis is a disease of the arteries. Cholesterol and fatty deposits build up on the walls of the arteries. This restricts blood flow. When the buildup happens in the heart, it may lead to chest pain, called angina, or heart attack. Lifestyle changes and medicines can be used to treat atherosclerosis. When the blockage gets too severe, CABG is done to re-establish blood supply to the heart muscle. It is often recommended in cases of:
- Severe blockage in the main artery or in several blood vessels that supply blood to the heart
- Persistent angina that does not improve with other treatments
Possible Complications
If you are planning to have a CABG, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Infections
- Blood clots
- High blood pressure or low blood pressure
- Bleeding
- Stroke
- Damage to other organs, such as the kidneys
- Irregular heart rate
- Death
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Lung disease, especially chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)(emphysema)
- Prior heart attack or bypass surgery
- Advanced age
- Severe condition (the need to have emergency surgery)
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Smoking
- High blood pressure
- Thyroid disease
- Depression
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor will likely do the following:
- Physical exam
- Chest x-ray
- Electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG)
- Coronary angiogram
Talk to your doctor about your medication. You may need to stop taking certain medication for one week before surgery, such as:
- Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (eg, ibuprofen, naproxen)
- Blood-thinning drugs, such as warfarin (Coumadin)
- Anti-platelet drugs, such as clopidogrel (Plavix)
Your doctor may also ask you to:
- Eat a light meal the night before. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
- Arrange for a ride to and from the hospital.
- Arrange for help at home after the procedure.
General anesthesia will be given. You will be asleep during the procedure.
Description of Procedure
A breathing tube will be placed in your throat. Next, an incision will be made through the skin. The breastbone will be split to open the chest. A heart-lung machine will be connected. Since the heart needs to be stopped for the surgery, this machine will act as the heart and lungs.
An artery will be taken from the chest wall. Or, a section of vein will be removed from the leg. This section will be used as the bypass. Once the heart is stopped, the new vessels will be connected (grafted) to the blocked arteries. One end will be attached just above the blockage. The other end will be attached just below the blockage. When the grafts are in place, the heart will be allowed to "wake up." Electrical shocks may be needed in some cases to regulate the heart's rhythm. The heart-lung machine will be disconnected. Temporary tubes may be placed in your chest to help drain any fluid. The breastbone will be wired together. The chest will be closed with stitches or staples.
There is a less invasive approach, called minimally invasive coronary artery surgery. The purpose of this surgery is the same, but the technique and condition of the patient are different. Patients who have only one or two clogged arteries may be candidates for this approach. In this technique, a small incision is made in the chest. The doctor usually uses an artery from inside the chest for the bypass. The key difference in this technique is that the doctor performs the surgery while the heart is beating. With this technique, the heart-lung machine is not needed. If you need CABG, your doctor will carefully evaluate you to determine the best technique for you.
Immediately After Procedure
You will be monitored in the intensive care unit, where you will have the following interventions:
- Heart monitor
- Pacing wires to control heart rate
- Tubes connected to a machine to drain fluids from the wound
- Breathing tube or an oxygen mask
- Catheter inserted into the bladder
How Long Will It Take?
4-5 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. You may be given medication for any pain during recovery.
Average Hospital Stay
5-7 days
Post-procedure Care
At the Hospital
- To reduce the risk of fluid buildup in your lungs, breathe deeply and cough 10-20 times every hour.
- If a leg vein was removed, elevate your legs above your heart while sitting. Do not cross your legs.
- Efforts will be made to get you out of bed and walking as soon as possible.
- Dressings will be removed in a day or two. Pacing wires and chest tubes will be removed after a few days.
At Home
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
- Take medicines as directed by your doctor, such as:
- Antiarrhythmics
- Blood thinners
- Cholesterol-lowering medicine
- Blood pressure medicine
- Pain medicine
- Follow your doctor's guidelines for caring for your stitches and staples. For example, internal stitches will dissolve. Staples will be taken out 5-7 days after surgery. Small paper strips on the incisions will peel off. They can be removed one week after discharge.
- Weigh yourself every morning.
- Follow the cardiac rehabilitation program that was created for you.
- If recommended by your doctor, work with a registered dietician.
- Make lifestyle changes, like exercising regularly, not smoking, and eating a healthy diet.
- Ask your doctor when you can drive and return to work.
- Be sure to follow all of your doctor's instructions.
Note: Bypass surgery does not cure heart disease. The grafted blood vessels can also become clogged. You will be encouraged to make healthy lifestyle changes.
Call Your Doctor
- Pain that you cannot control with the medication you have been given
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge at the incision sites
- Nausea and/or vomiting that you cannot control with the medication you were given after surgery or that lasts longer than expected
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Pain, burning, urgency, frequency of urination, or persistent blood in the urine
- Gaining more than four pounds within one or two days
- Pain and/or swelling in your feet, calves, or legs, or sudden shortness of breath or chest pain
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Follow These 3 SECRETS and You Will Learn
How To Lose Stomach Fat Fast and How to Get Six Pack Abs Fast!
Six Pack Abs Diet Secret #1: Moderation is key.
I want to talk about how to lose stomach fat and how it relates to showing you how to get a six pack fast.. Most people think that to get in shape and have six pack abs it takes hours in the gym and the perfect diet. This couldn't be further from the truth.
Are you looking to lose belly fat or gain 6 pack abs?
My philosophy in life is that moderation is the key. What do I mean by that? Well most overweight people eat unhealthy more than they eat healthy and the result is weight gain and depression. Sound familiar? Trust me I know and I have been there.
The opposite is also true; if you eat healthy most of the time you will begin to lose weight, get into shape and uncover your six pack abs. This is the first secret, "eat healthy…. most of the time".
The problem with most fad diets and weight loss programs that promise the quickest way to lose weight is the restrictions they place on us. The physiological effect that starting a diet or fat loss program is usually enough to make you doubt the effectiveness of the program.
Deep down we all know that we can't stay on any of these diets for a very long time. Basically you are setting yourself up for failure before you even begin. The best approach is to learn how to make most of you choices healthy rather than unhealthy. Simple right?
Six Pack Abs Diet Secret #2: - Planning is essential if you want to lose weight and get six pack abs.
Planning - The most successful people in life are the ones with the most detailed plans. If you make a plan and follow that plan, you will succeed. It's that simple. You may have to make some adjustments to your plan along the way but as long as you can recognize what's working and what's not, your success is only a few simple plans away.
We've all been there - you start a diet, find yourself late for lunch and starving so you stop at the nearest fast food joint. If you had taken some time to plan your meals for the day then you would have brought a healthy snack or sandwich to keep you on track. Some simple planning can go a long way.
Six Pack Abs Diet Secret #3 - There is no secret when it comes to losing weight and getting into shape, so you can get six pack abs or lose stomach fat. It's simple.
The problem with weight loss and getting into shape is everyone wants the magic bullet. We all wish we could just take a pill and get into shape but that is simply not true. If those fitness programs or diet pills you see on TV worked, everyone would be in shape and have six pack abs. Those programs don't work and companies count on that so you buy from them over and over.
If you find a program that tells you that only 5 minutes a day is needed to achieve your fitness goal, don't fall for it. Each of these programs will have fine print stating that you have to follow a sensible diet plan to achieve any results. You can be sure that the people in the videos did not get in shape using all the gadgets.
Diet pills are even worse. People are vulnerable and want to find that magic pill that will melt fat from our bodies. Even with all the breakthroughs in modern science, we don't have it and probably never will. For more information on the extent these companies will go, watch this video about some of the more popular diet pills. Xenadrine, Trimspa diet, Cortislim or the One a Day diet pill.
How can Motivate Fitness show me how to lose stomach fat, get healthy and how to get six pack abs?
The Motivate Fitness program will help you put all these elements together to build a customized weight loss plan just for you. Our diet plans are made up of real food and achievable results. We will show you how to stay in shape even if you cheat on our diet. I have some weekends where I have a few beers and eat chips and hamburgers and don't feel a bit guilty. Remember what I said about moderation.
The exercise aspect is the same as the nutrition. I don't spend hours in the gym. I get in and get out, working out enough to stay in shape without having to dedicate my life to it. You don't even have to go to a gym to get into or stay in shape. The choice is yours. You can achieve any level of fitness you like. The only way you will fail is if you do nothing at all.
You can change your whole life in a few short months if you put your mind to it. Imagine how you will feel in shape and the envy of all your friends. It only takes 1 second to change your mind and you can turn your whole life around.
The best part is that the entire Motivate Fitness Program will cost you less than you would pay for one hour with a personal trainer. That's right – you get the Motivate Fitness Lean 4 Ever eBook, exclusive access to the member's area, 10 week muscle building program and many other bonuses. Trust in Motivate Fitness and let us help you achieve all of your fitness and weight loss goals.

WASHINGTON (CNA/EWTN News) — "Are you coming down to the altar?" the Faith and Freedom Coalition's executive director Gary Marx asked after one especially evangelical speech at its annual conference June 4.
But despite the more than occasional revival-like feel, Catholic social teaching was on display at this important stop for potential Republican presidential nominees.
A Coalition-commissioned poll last November found that conservative Christians were a key constituency in the midterm elections that changed the majority in the House of Representatives from Democrat to Republican — creating what pro-life stalwart Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., has called "the most pro-life House of Representatives in American history."
White evangelicals represented 30% of those who voted, 78% voting Republican and Massgoing Catholics 12%, 58% voting Republican.
Not surprisingly, the Coalition, founded by former Christian Coalition president and Georgia Republican chairman Ralph Reed, attracted both elected leaders like House
Speaker John Boehner and those seeking, or considering seeking, the Republican nomination for president to its June 3-4 gathering.
Those who spoke to the 1,500 conservative activists, students and leaders included: Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann, former Godfather's pizza chairman Herman Cain, former Utah governor and ambassador to China John Huntsman, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, and even Donald Trump.
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, a convert to Catholicism, was out of the country and sent a video to address the conference.
Besides the prominence of Catholics during the general session, the Coalition conference included a breakout session devoted to Catholic political activism that was sponsored by Deal Hudson and Matt Smith of Catholic Advocate.
The session included National Organization of Marriage chairman Maggie Gallagher and the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List president Marjorie Dannenfelser, both responsible for electoral victories on issues that others would consider putting aside.
In a Saturday-night benediction, the pastor of St. Michael's Catholic Church in Annandale, Va., led the gathering in prayer that Catholics in their political activism are faithful to "the social-justice principle" of subsidiarity.
Santorum, the sole Catholic among the presidential primary contenders in attendance, acknowledged that he is considered "the social-conservative candidate" for his congressional leadership on restricting abortion and protecting traditional marriage.
But in his address, he painted a holistic portrait of moral leadership, manifested in not just social but economic and foreign policy, rooted in the God-given dignity of every human person and protecting his freedom.
Santorum also compared himself to his potential rivals for the Republican nomination: "I used to be like a lot of folks" who "check the boxes" on social issues. But he added he is "very proud of the fact" he became "the point man" on issues of life and marriage and that this shows his "passion to lead."
He reminded the audience that he, unlike many of the other candidates, spoke at the same conference last year and that he's a mainstay on these issues.
"They'll check the boxes," he said about unnamed competitors. "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't just take the pledge; I take the bullets."
In his speech, Santorum tied his leadership on the welfare-reform legislation that Democratic President Bill Clinton would sign to "the social-conservative belief in the dignity of every human person."
That means the unborn and that absolutely also means "the poor in our society. We need to provide an opportunity for everybody in America."
"What government was doing by subsidizing poverty was destroying the family," he said.
Focusing on the current economic situation, Santorum told those gathered: "We ended a federal entitlement." We can, in fact, do that, he assured the conference attendees. We can do it "if we paint a vision that isn't just about dollars and cents."
He described a positive vision that reaches across ideological lines: "Social conservatives understand that the bigger the government, the smaller the individual. Social conservatives are leading on these issues."
That vision is integral to his message, which he has been delivering in frequent visits to Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, as well as in written commentary and his almost two-year run as a guest host for former Education Secretary Bill Bennett's national radio show.
While conservative Iowans would unsurprisingly be fertile ground for Santorum, he told CNA that he is encouraged by what he hears even in less conservative areas and crowds.
Expectations are low for Santorum's bid. But the senator believes that could be a "benefit." He said people he hears from are "not clamoring for a moderate. They are not clamoring for star power or something new or different."
Recalling how Ted Kennedy came to work with him on welfare reform, he said, "If you can lay out a compelling narrative, you can move the dial. I believe I can." He believes if he can work with Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy, he can "bring the middle together."
He also believes he can appeal to independents and those Democrats that Reagan was able to reach.
His presidential bid, he says, is about "reclaiming our founding principles, which people still agree with." And "implement them in a way that makes sense."
"I feel called to do this," Santorum said. "If you feel called to run for president, you feel called to run for president. You feel called to win."
And, so, he's not focusing on only Iowa or only one issue or another.
President Barack Obama, he said, "is doing really injurious things to this country." Santorum believes he has a "fundamental misunderstanding of what America is."
Santorum cited an economic speech Obama delivered in April as primary evidence. President Obama credited Medicare and Social Security as making the United States a "great country."
However, Santorum worries entitlement programs can be "dependency drugs." The health-care legislation passed last year is the ultimate example for Santorum, who said repealing it would be his first priority as president.
In his official campaign announcement on June 6, two days after his Faith and Freedom appearance, he called President Obama's health-care plan "the lynchpin" of a philosophy that "believes that America's greatness is in government, not its people."
Echoing the tea-party movement, Santorum believes what makes America exceptional is its commitment to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Santorum wants to "remind people who we are, how we got here, and what we have to do to get it back."
But can he win? It's the most frequently asked question and the easiest way to dismiss him: He lost his last race for re-election by 17 points in 2006, a dismal year for Republicans.
Santorum — who was encouraged by winning a South Carolina straw poll in May — says: "I've run against three Democratic incumbents, and I'm three for three."

Messages sent and received by clients (payload messages), as well as Message Queue control messages, pass over the same client-broker connection. Delays in the delivery of control messages, such as broker acknowledgments, can result if control messages are held up by the delivery of payload messages. To prevent this type of congestion, Message Queue meters the flow of payload messages across a connection.
Payload messages are batched (as specified with the connection factory attribute imqConnectionFlowCount) so that only a set number are delivered. After the batch has been delivered, delivery of payload messages is suspended and only pending control messages are delivered. This cycle repeats, as additional batches of payload messages are delivered followed by pending control messages.
The value of imqConnectionFlowCount should be kept low if the client is doing operations that require many responses from the broker: for example, if the client is using CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE or AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE mode, persistent messages, transactions, or queue browsers, or is adding or removing consumers. If, on the other hand, the client has only simple consumers on a connection using DUPS_OK_ACKNOWLEDGE mode, you can increase imqConnectionFlowCount without compromising performance.

|Cahawba Prison described firsthand by people who were there:
Cahaba Federal Prison was located in an area near Cahaba (once known as Cahawba), Alabama on the banks of the Alabama and Cahaba Rivers.
Once designated as a cotton warehouse, it held over 5000 Union soldiers between 1863 and 1865.
The 16,000 foot prison was surrounded by a tall brick wall. Prisoners were contained in old decrepit buildings which held no provisions for bedding. Instead, prisoners slept on bare floors with one fireplace in the building to keep them warm. The water supply was an artesian well which had become extremely polluted by the sewer runoff from the town and the prison itself. According to stories told, the river often flooded and covered the floors of the buildings in waters running 1-4 feet deep.
The commanding officer at Cahaba Prison was Captain H. A. M. Henderson. He was a Methodist minister. Due to his overseeing of this prison, prisoners were treated fairly and the death rate was extremely low in comparison to most other Civil War Prison Camps.
Today, Cahaba is a ghost town. Archaeologists are working on uncovering the past of Cahaba Prison and town. It has become an important archaeological site as well as a place to visit and see the ruins.
The Sultana Disaster.... In the early morning hours of April 27, 1865, the steamboat Sultana exploded on the Mississippi River near Memphis, Tennessee. The Sultana was crowded with former Union prisoners-of-war and was carrying over 2000 people. Of these, 1500 or more were killed either by the explosion, the subsequent fire, or drowning. Read about this event in the book by William O. Bryant.....Cahaba Prison and the Sultana Disaster.
All Prisoners buried in Cahaba have been removed to Marietta National Cemetery in Cobb Co, GA.

Research rigor and risks: Investigating gender-based violence in the European refugee crisis
The 16 Days of Activism campaign also allows us to reflect on the important role of research in activism. Without rigorous research, activism against gender-based violence may be misguided or misaligned with individual or community perceptions and needs.
What is meant by rigorous research?
Rigorous research has been defined as research that applies the appropriate research tools to investigate a set of stated objectives. While some researchers may argue that quantitative research methodologies generate more rigorous data, using this definition we can see that qualitative research methodologies can also generate rigorous data to inform programming, policy and activism.
Our project, funded by the World Bank Group and Sexual Violence Research Initiative Development Marketplace for Innovations to Prevent Gender-Based Violence, aims to do just that—generate rigorous data using qualitative research methodologies to better understand the gender, social, and cultural norms that contribute to intimate partner violence among Syrian refugees. Women and Health Alliance (WAHA) International in collaboration with academic and organizational partners in Turkey and Greece will collect data using focus group discussions and participatory action learning activities in order to inform future interventions targeting intimate partner violence among displaced populations.

I feel like I am finally getting into a routine again. Maybe menu planning, regularly scheduled grocery shopping trips, coupon cutting, etc can resume in my life and I can start feeling a little more organized!
As I was sitting here cutting out coupons from the past three Sunday papers, I kept thinking "there has to be a better way!" I love what I use for my coupon holder… a small one photo per page photo album with each category written on the front of the page. I can easily flip through the book, the categories are specific to what I want them to be, the coupons easily fit so I can pull them out and put them in quickly and it fits nicely in my purse.
I also have a pretty good system for using the coupons when I need them. What I feel like I am lacking is the ability to maximize my savings with coupons. I am not good at comparison shopping because I find that I don't have the time to run around town to several different stores. In my ideal world, I would love to be able to get everything in one stop.
So, I am turning to you to help me out. I'd love to hear (or read about this if you have already blogged about it) your solutions for cutting coupons and maximizing your savings. Also, if you have a great way for keeping your coupons organized, I'd love to hear about that as well! Like I said before, there has to be an easier way… I just hope you know what that is!

23-year-old Zach Tomaselli, the third man to accuse Syracuse University assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine of molesting him as a child, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he abused a 13-year-old boy in a similar way, but now he says he'll change his plea to guilty. Tomaselli admitted to the Associated Press yesterday that he abused the boy, who is now 14, when he was his camp counselor. Tomaselli says he knows the boy suffered from what he did to him, and he's "sick of hiding behind" his attorney.

In a Hewlett-Packard conference room in Cupertino, a team of students stands ready with spreadsheets, financial models, and ... cartoons.
Challenged by the tech giant to develop ideas for enhancing cloud computing services, these full-time and evening-and-weekend Berkeley MBA students use simple black-and-white cartoons to identify HP customer archetypes in their strategy proposal: Right-on Rob, who self-sufficiently keeps his infrastructure humming; Behind-the-Times Ben, who is slow to update hardware and requires a good deal of HP support; and Nervous Nellie, who desires constant systems monitoring and double-checks everything.
The cartoons lighten the mood and elicit laughs but also address HP's customer mix in a way that hits the mark. Sue Barsamian, senior vice president and general manager of HP's Technology Services Support, likes the student ideas so much that she asks if HP can skip a proposed testing process and go right into pilot.
"We've already begun to incorporate some of your thinking into our plans," Barsamian tells the four student teams making presentations that day. "Several of your ideas represent new and different approaches; we are likely to proceed into a pilot as the fastest route to validation."
HP is one of three large corporate clients in the school's newly expanded Haas@Work class. Previously a five-week extracurricular program, Haas@Work has been transformed this year into a 15-week course, one of 10 fulfilling the new experiential learning requirement that is part of the new Berkeley Innovative Leader Development Curriculum.
Tools for Rapid Innovation
"At its core Haas@Work is about rapid innovation," says Dave Rochlin, BS 85, executive director of Haas@Work, who teaches the course with Lecturer Pierre Lowe, an innovation and strategy consultant. Haas@Work concentrates on innovation within large companies because that's where many students will ultimately work, Rochlin says.
"Haas@Work prepares students to be more effective in that setting, giving them the skills to gain support for an idea and move it toward market," he explains.
For clients, the aim is to provide a vibrant pipeline of ideas for development. "We feed into the need every company has for a flow of ideas moving toward market at all times," Rochlin says.
This spring, the inaugural Haas@Work class enrolled 60 students, who focused on expanding pipelines in cloud computing for HP; identifying new customer segments for Charles Schwab; and evaluating geographic markets beyond China for sports brand Li Ning, Haas@Work's first international client.
To deliver to their clients, students drew upon skills developed in core MBA coursework. This included ideation tools from the new Problem Finding, Problem Solving course, taught by design thinking experts and Haas Lecturers Sara Beckman and Clark Kellogg, and newly honed persuasion skills, culled from the course on leadership communication taught by Lecturer Cort Worthington.
"Producing innovation is remarkably difficult and risky. It's also quite intimidating," says Rehan Tahir, MBA 12, an evening and weekend student on the Charles Schwab team. "I learned that the solution to intimidation is ideation. I don't think I ever gave brainstorming the credit it was due–who would have thought that we would begin to solve problems with Post-it notes and Sharpies? It's genius, and done right, it yields significant results."
Insights, Ideation, Experimentation
But Haas@Work is about more than brainstorming. Students apply their Problem Finding, Problem Solving skills to generate new insights about their clients and the competitive landscapes (such as identifying archetypal customers of HP cloud computing services). From there, they develop a portfolio of game-changing ideas and a business model (in HP's case, built around the opportunities converting customers into Right-on Robs). Then students minimize implementation risk for the client by creating experiments to test assumptions (in one case, deemed unnecessary by HP).
Increased attention to insight generation and experimentation is critical to the Haas@Work experience, says Rochlin. "The rapid innovation process of Haas@Work certainly involves being creative and generating a large stream of ideas," he says, "but our clients are most able to use these ideas when we develop them with a reading of what they are good at and can feasibly execute."
Students examine client challenges from a variety of angles, including ethnographic exploration, such as observing how a customer uses a product, and questioning widely held industry beliefs or assumptions about customer behavior and channels. Rochlin says this exploration yields "white space" opportunities in areas that the client hasn't considered or believes it isn't equipped to succeed in.
"The students generated a lot of ideas, but were then able to boil them down to the best few–and get tighter with every iteration," says Julie Cabrales, HP's global service pricing manager. "This particular topic [cloud computing] is very dynamic in the market right now, so the students were constantly incorporating things they were learning and reading, as well as adjusting to our feedback–all in real time."
Not only did the students deliver strong solutions that the HP executives were excited to implement, but they also influenced how the executives think about the innovation process, Cabrales adds. "The students' perspectives really opened up my mind, sparking new ideas for how I approach my own work."–Valerie Gilbert

For Rufus, Cid, and Steiner to be so low and Tidus to be so high...and for Versus' Noctis to even be there at all, proves Japanese tastes as not to be taken terribly serious. Biggest surprise is Vivi ranking so low, I thought Japanese peeps had a thing for mascot-like characters... he's almost half of one.
The fact that Zack and Zidane, two of my favorite male characters in the series, are in the top three automatically makes that list awesome. Thumbs up, Japan.

Ironing, I admit, is not something I do often. Or ever. But I still appreciate the ingenuity behind Panasonic's "both-ends-are-pointed" 360° iron line-up. Now, with the 360° freestyle, they've made it a little better. By making it cordless.
Panny claims that the new Freestyle is 25% lighter than pervious models, and smooths wrinkles 15% faster (how do they time that?) Features include:
• Detachable water tank for safe and easy refilling
• Electronic Temperature Control to set precise heat for all fabrics, even silk
• Pushbutton steam feature to quickly remove stubborn wrinkles from delicate garments
• Anti-drip feature to protect fabrics
• Auto shut-off after 10 minutes to help eliminate worries about safety
• Convenient case with handle for easy storage and carrying
And yes, the "unique shape and curved soleplate" that lets you iron every which way without leaving creases. Sounds almost good enough to get me ironing. Almost. The new Panasonic 360° Freestyle will be available in October for $99.95. [Panasonic]

The Evacuation of a Nation
You have to hand it to the Swedes; they evacuate their citizens in style. Several air-conditioned stories of stores, restaurants and cafés were available to us while awaiting our evacuation. I have spent many happy hours in this very mall; back in the day when I lived in Beirut more permanently, me and my girlfriend were frequent guests at the Dunes movie theatre. It was a very bizarre experience to be awaiting evacuation in that very familiar surrounding.
How some of the people there had the nerve to complain about the way Swedish authorities treated them, I will never understand. One young man whined about having to wait for hour after hour in the posh surroundings of the Dunes mall; he felt he deserved financial retribution for his plight. I knew from an earlier conversation that he was a Sunni from an area of Beirut that had not been directly affected by the bombardment and from what I could tell, him and his family were not suffering from any illnesses or physical problems. I had to turn away just to avoid getting into a fight with this arrogant young man; there we were, enjoying every comfort imaginable under the circumstances, while people with no way out were suffering the harshest conditions not far from us, and he has the audacity to complain. I had nothing to say to him and made sure to stay as far away from him as possible for the rest of the journey.
After waiting for seven or eight hours in the Dunes mall we received word that there would be room for us on a ship chartered by the Australians (thank you, Australia!). Soon we were put on buses and driven through the unusually empty streets of Beirut to the port. I tried to take in as much of the scenery as possible since I have no way of knowing when I will be there again. I have departed from Beirut many times, but it has never felt this bitter. Once onboard the ship, I stood up on deck, looking out over Beirut in the afternoon haze, trying to comprehend what was happening. Helicopters, presumably American, were flying back and forth between Beirut and Cyprus, while warships patrolled the waters outside the Beirut port. When we departed I stood for a long time on deck, identifying my beloved AUB campus and the balcony of the room where I had spent the past ten days or so. I stayed on deck until Beirut disappeared below the horizon, and went inside in the hope to find a comfortable spot to spend the long journey to Cyprus.
We were lucky to have a fairly comfortable ship; a Greek cruise ship by the name of Kriti II. It was certainly crowded, but not to an unbearable point; after a couple of hours I even got to lie down on a couch for a while. The trip to Cyprus took us approximately seven hours. Although the process of getting all the people off the ship was somewhat chaotic, I realized I was, again, one of the lucky ones: two days earlier 1500 Swedes were evacuated, now there were only 350 of us. I think it is safe to say the process of checking our passports and registering us was a lot quicker this time. Once the registration process was over, we were separated into smaller groups and put on buses to hotels on various locations on Cyprus; we were to rest before trying to make the final stretch to Sweden.
Since Cyprus is now experiencing the height of its tourist season, the Swedish rescue teams have to go with whatever hotel rooms are available. Fortunately, in my case that meant getting to take a shower and sleep for three and a half hours at a four-star beach hotel. It certainly proved necessary, because after another two-hour bus ride to Larnaca airport on Sunday morning, we had to spend a good six or seven hours waiting in the summer heat, while scores of British tourist were hoarded to an increasing number of delayed flights.
Since I was a young healthy male traveling alone, I figured it my duty to help the Swedish evacuation personnel as best I could with their very difficult mission to get us out of there. I couldn't do much, but I could help with the counting of heads and keeping the group of Swedish evacuees separate from the masses of tourists in the chaotic airport. In order to mark the end of the line of Lebanon-evacuees, I unpacked the Lebanese flag, which had been hanging from my balcony for the past week, and tied it to my suitcase. It was quite effective; instead of thinking we were fellow tourists and getting in line behind us, most vacationing Brits now gave us a strange look and passed us by, relieving us of the burden of constantly having to explain we were not in their line.
When a plane had finally arrived to take us out of there, and a counter was opened for us, we were led into the departure hall. Being last in line, I was advised by Swedish evacuation personnel to put the Lebanese flag away, since there were supposedly Israeli soldiers in the departure hall, watching over Israeli tourists en route back home. Two days earlier, they told me, the line of Swedish evacuees from Lebanon had accidentally ended up next to the line to the counter for a Tel Aviv flight. As a result, there had been some "friction." They did not specify in what way. Not wanting to create trouble for the already strained Swedish evacuation personnel, I grudgingly put the flag away.
I have nothing but regards for the people from the various Swedish agencies trying to get people out of a war zone; they work day and night so that those in need can get home safely. Clearly, an evacuation from an ongoing armed conflict is not going to be a comfortable vacation trip. I will never understand those among the evacuees who complain loudly about the comfort of their trip back to Sweden. I do, however, believe they are a minority; the vast majority is as grateful as I am to the people working so hard to help us.
From what the Swedish personnel on the ground told me, the cooperation between the nations evacuating their citizens from Lebanon worked very well, with one big exception: the Americans. Since I normally live in the U.S. and appreciate and enjoy life there immensely, it saddened me to hear that the Americans on Cyprus showed no regard for the trouble they created for the evacuation operations of other nations. Apparently, the Americans did not even accept the airport authority; they simply landed whenever they saw fit to land, without awaiting clearance. Needless to say, this behavior is not helpful when the greatest evacuation since World War II is underway. Of course, it is very effective if you are a U.S. citizen, and since someone very close to me was supposed to be evacuated by the Americans on the same day, I admit I felt a certain comfort in the knowledge that at least she would be taken care of. With the greater picture in mind, however, it would have been nice to see the image of American arrogance proven wrong for once.
Be that as it may, at the time I boarded the plane that would take me to Malmo, Sweden, I had no idea whether or not my friend had been able to evacuate, and seeing the enormous military cargo planes from the U.S., I was worried she would have to spend a long flight over the Atlantic in one of those. In fact, I still don't know exactly how she will be transported; when she called me yesterday she was on an American base on Cyprus, awaiting a flight to the U.S. Unlike her, I could look forward to a brief four hour flight from Cyprus before landing in southern Sweden.
When arriving in Sweden we were greeted by the soft-spoken women (and men) of a crisis team, trying to make us as comfortable as possible after our long and trying journey. There are times in your life you are proud of your country, and the reception we got in Sweden was one of those times. Not that I'm in need of trauma specialists, but there were many in our group from worse hit areas than mine, and many with memories from the last war. I'm sure the experience for those who have already fled one war was much more traumatic than it was for me. After a sandwich and coffee at the Malmo airport, I spent another eight hours on a bus to Stockholm before I reached my final destination. The entire journey Beirut-Stockholm had taken me almost exactly two days.
I'm still conflicted about having left. Life on an island in the Stockholm archipelago is as far as you get from life in Beirut under siege. It is no doubt nice to know that the rumbling in the distance is only thunder, but I feel disconnected from what is happening in a way I wasn't when I was holed up in Beirut. I can still keep myself updated on what is happening through the Internet and TV, but I'm not there to see it with my own eyes. I'm no longer able to talk to people in the street; I am disconnected from the mood of Beirut and thereby disconnected from the plight of the Lebanese. But I will not forget what I have seen and felt during eleven days of living under Israeli siege; I will not forget what Lebanon is suffering at this very moment. As I bid you all farewell, I hope that this blog has in some way contributed to the understanding of the devastating situation in Lebanon today. Never forget the plight of Lebanon.

text: As an aside, remember 3 years ago when I was predicting that 10gigE was going to arrive more slowly and much more expensively than predicted? Anyway... For a cheap layer-2 switch, the options seem to be: Quadrics TG201, 24 port CX4. This was the least expensive. No public pricing, but you can quickly get quotes from Quadrics or one of their resellers. Fujitsu XG700, 12p CX4, sells for $7,000-$8,000, pricing is public and it's carried by places like CDW. The Fujitsu XG2000 likewise is easily available, it's $13,000 for the 16 CX4 + 4 XFP model. The Force10 S2401 24p CX4 was by far the most expensive, and took the longest to get a quote (a "high touch" sales process, yuck.) They did offer me a deeper discount when I mentioned Quadrics' pricing. So if you really want this one, you know what to do. A few months ago I actually tried to get Arastra to tell me what I needed to use their switch with CX4, and they were completely unhelpful. Humorously, Myricom's ethernet-conversion blade, which goes into their big non-ethernet switches, is not that much more expensive than the above switches. That shows how high pricing is right now. All these ethernet switches are essentially a single piece of silicon that costs less than $500. So I'd expect the complete switch to be closer to $3,000 than $13,000. Both Myricom and the InfiniBand players have much lower margins than 10gigE. All hail the power of the commodity market! -- greg

Fangio win overshadowed by Marimon's deathMartin Williamson August 1, 1954

After a year off, the nomadic European Grand Prix returned in the familiar setting of Germany's Nurburgring. Although Juan Manuel Fangio won the race, the weekend was overshadowed by the death of Argentina's Onofre Marimon during practice.
Marimon had driven with Fangio for Maserati and as the son of one of his great friends, Fangio had taken him under his wing when he started out. On the Thursday he lost control on a corner, ploughed through a hedge and struck a tree. He died instantly. A distraught Fangio headed to the scene of the accident and checked the wreck of Marimon's car. He found it stuck in fourth gear even though he estimated the corner had to be taken in third - it was driver error.
Fangio and José Froilán González seriously considered withdrawing but eventually opted to race. Fangio duly took pole with Mike Hawthorn and Stirling Moss alongside, and from the off the two Mercedes (Karl Kling in the other car) powered clear. Moss lasted a lap before a wheel bearing collapsed and three laps later Hawthorn too retired.
On the 22nd lap Gonzalez, still affected by Marimon's death, pitted and Hawthorn, who had just reached the pits after walking back from his own abandoned vehicle, jumped in to replace him. He immediately counterattacked, passing Kling and eating away at Fangio's lead until slowed by a heavy shower.
Kling appeared set to finish third until he slowed near the end, gesticulating to his pits as he passed that his rear axle was causing major problems. He was forced to stop, and although he resumed he was overhauled by the Ferrari of Maurice Trintignant.
Not counting the Indy 500, this was the longest world championship race in history - it lasted three and three-quarter hours. The crowd was estimated at being more than half a million.

Mercury Direct
On July 1st, Mercury pauses to resume direct motion! Whew! It's been an intense Mercury Retrograde period for many of us. Within a few weeks, Mercury will be well beyond the point at which it turned retrograde, and we ourselves can begin looking and moving forward.
Jupiter in Leo
Around the time Mercury reaches its retrograde point, Jupiter ushers us into a year with a very different undertone than the last. For the past year, Jupiter has been moving through the sign of Cancer, and it has been a year of expanding into our inner world of emotions, sensitivity, intuition, imagination (for good or "ill"), and our sense of rootedness and connectedness to family and tribe on small and large scales.
Evolve With Astrology
Throughout the past year, I have described our high, evolutionary assignment of revamping our understanding of what emotions are for. We have been asked to increase our emotional intelligence, becoming conscious of our emotions as important feedback about the self-identity we hold in any moment. In that way, we are more capable of detaching from the emotion itself, and purposefully realigning with a more expanded, mature, less limited identity. The level of our increased emotional intelligence will directly effect our experience of Jupiter's passage through the next zodiac sign of Leo.
On July 16th, Jupiter—the king of the gods of Olympus—enters Leo—the sign of the Lion, the king of the jungle. For a full year, we will be expanding ourselves into the territory of self, of increasing our sense of aliveness and joy and playfulness, of building our internal and external experience of grandness. Part of the blessing of Jupiter is to expand our thinking and our expectations. This Jupiter asks us to broaden ourselves and step beyond anything that has kept us hidden, unseen, and feeling under-appreciated, misunderstood or unloved. Like the cowardly lion in The Wizard of Oz, we may believe that we are not strong enough within ourselves to go for what we want to be, but in reality, the heart of courage is always within us and we need not feel small or look to some external wizard to give us something we lack. If we navigate this next year well, we will step out into life, saying Yes to things we haven't before for any number of reasons; we will own and grow our egos in new ways.
In spiritual circles, it is common to malign the ego, to think of it as a bad thing. Ego in itself is not bad; in this tough world, we wouldn't survive long or get along well in life without a healthy, solid sense of self. That positive facet of ego helps us keep up with the world without being crushed underfoot by others. A strong, healthy ego structure enables us to forge out into society to express who we are and make our mark. So, my caution this year is not about the "dangers" of healthy ego, but the issues that arise from an inflated ego "run amok." With this combination we are meant to grow beyond our current paradigm and definition of ourselves; but we should attempt to keep our self-awareness intact, too, because the shadow side of Jupiter in Leo can be an egotistical largesse, a feeling that all life should revolve around us, and that we should always get everything we want, exactly as we want it and when we want it. For some who tend toward more natural grace and quietude, the challenge is perhaps to become stronger characters. For others who are naturally strong and bold, easily expanding into life more and more as time passes, Jupiter in Leo may teach of the wisdom required to expand our identities only in ways that are truly meaningful and well-chosen, rather than just trying to become "more," bigger and higher out of habit. Some of us overextend ourselves beyond what would be fulfilling and make us happy, only to find that when we become what we sought to become, we've gotten into something we don't want (or want to be) after all.
Jupiter can bring us a sense of discontent in our lives as they are, and sometimes we get into a mindset that the ever-unfolding state of things is never enough. Such a constant state of discontent is not "divine"; the grass is not always greener on "the other side" from where we are. In a Jupiter time, we may become stuck in an auto-pilot mode of wanting to do, be and achieve more, and reach farther and farther away from our core self and what's genuinely meaningful to us. IS there always something better? What if that something better is along different lines of a clearer psyche, a healed and whole mind, an understanding that there is more to this life than how we have defined and been living it? Jupiter is calling for all of us to expand our identities, make no mistake. But our wisdom needs to be engaged in the expansion.
We are in for a year of inflated "fire in the belly." This is particularly true as we continue to experience the evolutionary churning of the Uranus-Pluto squares. We can anticipate that Jupiter in Leo will increase and perhaps exacerbate the Uranus in Aries urge for independence, individuation, and freedom from limitations and oppression. Some of us will benefit greatly from that combined Jupiter-Uranus freedom and change. If we get carried away and our behavior is really "too much," others may respond to that overinflated ego behavior with rejection. As Sara Bareilles sings in her song King of Anything, "And who cares if you disagree? You are not me. Who made you king of anything? So you dare tell me who to be. Who died and made you king of anything?" We may feel this way ourselves and it may give us the "gumption" to break free from our bindings… or we may have others respond to us this way. Again, I remind us of the lessons in emotional maturity from the past year. If we remember the right use of our emotions and internal sensitivity, we stand a better chance of claiming more aliveness, more "more" in healthy, balanced ways.
I will be writing about these themes throughout the next year; for now I will simply begin by asking:

Data governance is more about process than technology. Once your data is in shape, we help you manage it to maintain a high level of quality – both today and for the long term. SAS Data Governance gives your data guidance and context. It enables you to align business and IT, monitor quality and pinpoint problems – all within the same environment.
Control your data through better policies and parameters.
When it comes to knowing what's happening with your data and who's altering it, you don't have to guess – you can know. Set guidelines around who sees what information. Enforce who makes changes – and what changes they can make. Generate snapshots of past business terms and relationships to better meet regulatory requirements. You have the power to be proactive, without compromising security.
Define terms, promote collaboration and pinpoint issues with a business glossary.
SAS Data Governance doesn't just deliver a standard-issue glossary. It gives you a powerful, interactive repository of terms and definitions that makes it easier to flag and fix issues. You can create and manage SAS and third-party metadata – all from an integrated, workflow-driven environment. Plus you can visualize and create reports to track remediation issues or monitor data health.
Measure your success and track progress.
With built-in reporting, monitoring and validation, you'll know if you're succeeding, or whether you need to make changes. You can use an intuitive dashboard to monitor trends. Know when policies are being followed. And trace them when they aren't.
Manage reference data from a single location.
Setting up and maintaining reference data is easy for both business and IT. Your tech experts build a table directly into a job – and then that information can be updated by business users. It's an efficient way to keep your big data updated and accurate, even if it's stored in Hadoop or Impala.
- Enterprise governance. Maintain and manage data attributes through a common data model.
- Business data glossary. Create and manage business terms and safeguard them as you see fit. Speed import of terms and relationships using CSV files.
- Security and auditability. Flag changes in metadata, enable role-based access to various data stewardship consoles and protect sensitive information. Create "point-in-time" snapshots of past terms to meet regulatory requirements.
- Reference data manager. Store, manage and publish lists and hierarchies from a web-based interface that can be used across lines of business.
- Visualization and reporting. Create reports and share information about data governance initiatives, as well as monitor data health and status of remediation issues.
- Data remediation. Govern stewardship and other business processes via workflows; review records and resolve issues once problems are identified.
- Business rule validation. Help data meet organizational standards for data quality and business processes.
- Data monitoring. Use dashboards, data remediation processes and active alerts to data issues as they arise.
- Metadata management and visualization. Align business and IT with a powerful lineage relationship visualization tool that spans the enterprise, including SAS Data Management, SAS Analytics and third-party ETL or data quality tools, tables, data models and other metadata objects.
- Application Integration. Integrate with other applications via the exposed REST API.
Better data quality equals a more accurate view of insurance risk and pricing. IAG's New Zealand business can now geocode 90 percent of customers addresses.

Butler Business School closes, students stunned
Bridgeport: Students stunned by abrupt move
BRIDGEPORT -- Butler Business School and two sister schools in the state have closed without warning, leaving as many as 1,200 students saddled with more than $20,000 in loans each and without the diploma that would enable them to start paying off their debt.
State officials said Monday they were notified by Paul Kelly, finance director at the Sawyer School, Butler's parent organization, of the abrupt closure, which stunned the student body, some of whom were close to graduation.
The closing also occurred in apparent violation of state law, which requires schools that close to notify the state Office of Higher Education at least 60 days prior to closing. The notification occurred Sunday.
"I can't stop crying over this," said Melinda Rankine, a student from Bridgeport who has been at the North Avenue school 11 months and was set to start a 180-hour externship in January, the final step before graduation. "What do I do now? I'm sick to my stomach."
"I feel we were robbed," added Simone Davis, a student from Stratford. "Everybody went there to get an education. We took out student loans. That stuff is on my credit."
The school, which began in 1900 as an independent secretarial school, is now associated with Sawyer Schools in Hamden and Hartford. Those two campuses also closed over the weekend without warning. Combined, the three branches had some 1,200 students.
Sawyer is headquartered in Pawtucket, R.I., and also has one or more schools there. Calls to company headquarters went unanswered Monday.
"We are trying to reach out to students. We had no indication they were in trouble," said Connie Fraser, a spokeswoman for the state's Office of Higher Education, which has regulatory oversight for the operation of these and other non-degree-granting private occupational schools in Connecticut.
There are 65 private, non-degree-granting private occupational schools in the state. Unlike colleges, they award certificates, not degrees, and tend to have much higher dropout rates and student loan default rates.
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said Monday he believes a congressional investigation may be in order.
"I am particularly concerned because federal funds almost certainly were involved," said Blumenthal, who was the state's attorney general before going to Washington in 2010. He said Butler Business School "may be Exhibit A" for the reopening of a study just completed by the Senate's Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on questionable practices by for-profit companies.
Blumenthal said he was troubled by the school's silence on how it would address student needs to both graduate and pay back student loans. He wants written assurances that students enrolled in these programs will be reimbursed or provided with a comparable program in another readily accessible facility.
Orlanda Austin Strong, another Butler student, may be stuck with $24,000 in student debt.
According to Strong, classes ended Dec. 10 and were set to resume Thursday. She and others started hearing rumors last week that the school was closing, so Strong decided to go to the school Saturday and found a note on the door saying the school was closing.
Inside the school, Strong said she saw about 15 staff members, including director Lucy Baker, packing their things.
"They wouldn't let us in. They didn't tell us nothing. They were like, `You guys are on your own until you get a letter,' " said Strong, who has attended the school for nearly a year in hopes of becoming a medical assistant.
"We, as students, want to know what will happen to us as far as graduating and getting our certificates," Strong said.
Sue Waters, an instructor at Butler for the past seven years, said she is as stunned as her students.
"I've been a wreck. I don't have a job. I don't have a job and I carry the medical benefits for my family," Waters said.
Waters said she called the school Friday to request room assignments and instead was greeted with, "You don't know? They closed the school."
Waters said she is convinced Baker did not know about the closing until recently. The week before the school closed for winter break, registrations for January classes were still being taken.
Davis, the student from Stratford, said she already checked with Porter and Chester, another local business school, and learned the school will not accept any of her credits.
"So I wasted my time and everything," said an exasperated Davis.
Davis said she chose Butler because a friend went there and graduated. Plus, she knew the school had a long history that began in 1900 as Brown's Business College. The school was acquired by the Butler family in 1917.
In 1983, the school moved to its present site near the Fairfield-Bridgeport border at 2710 North Ave. At some point, the school was sold to Michael J. and Paul T. Kelly, doing business as Academic Enterprises, based in Rhode Island.
The school offered three training programs in medical assistant/secretary, office information systems and phlebotomy technician. There was no answer at Paul Kelly's home in Mansfield, Mass., and his message machine was full.
Michelle Brown, another student, said she struggled to attend school full-time and work full-time to try and make a better life for herself. She learned about Butler's closure on Facebook.
"I wasn't doing this for me. I was doing it for my kids. I was going to graduate in April," she said. "I'm shocked."
In his letter to the state, Kelly said classes scheduled to begin in January have been canceled, and students, faculty and staff have been notified.
That notification, apparently, was a small, misspelled notice taped to the inside front door of the school that reads, "Effective December 28, 2012, Butler Business School Classes will be cancelled indefinately."
"I have requested assistance from each of the school's landlords to provide for an orderly transition of student records. In the coming week, I hope to work with you to facilitate this process, and any other options that may be available to help our students continue their education at another institution," wrote Kelly in his email to the state.
Fraser said her office has been in touch with some students and has set up a telephone number for others to contact them at 1-800-842-0229. There is also a website being established at www.ctohe.org, where affected students can register.
Officials from Fraser's office have attempted to reach school officials, and are working with the Office of the Attorney General to secure student records and financial files.
The Office of Higher Education is meeting with representatives from other schools to create "teach out" opportunities to provide a means for students to complete their studies. The Office of Higher Education is also in communication with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs the U.S. Department of Education, and the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools.
"Our priority is to see that students have an opportunity to complete their studies," said Jane A. Ciarleglio, executive director of the Office of Higher Education.

On April 10, 1945, Norman Dubie was born in Barre, Vermont. He began writing poetry at eleven, and was influenced by John Keats and D. H. Lawrence. During Dubie's childhood, his father had a religious conversion, began studying theology, and moved the family to New Hampshire. The young Dubie watched his father become politically active in his parish and encourage support of the civil rights movement.
After finishing high school, Dubie had hoped to play football for West Point, but instead followed his father's wishes and enrolled at the University of New Hampshire at Durham, where he failed every subject except English and Geology. Dubie took nine months off from his studies and was later rejected by the draft due to high blood pressure. He enrolled at Goddard College in Vermont and received his BA in 1965. He then received a fellowship from the Iowa Writers' Workshop, where he earned his MFA in 1968, as well as an invitation to stay on as a member of the program's regular faculty.
Dubie's first book, Alehouse Sonnets, was written during a blizzard while he was still a graduate student. The manuscript of poems was chosen as a runner-up for the International Poetry Forum Prize and was later published by the University of Pittsburg Press in 1971. Richard Howard, one of the poets on the jury, urged Dubie to establish an MFA program at Arizona State University in Tempe, and in 1975 Dubie accepted a position there as consultant in the arts and launched their creative writing program, though he did not accept the title of director.
During 1975, Dubie published four books of poetry, and a year later received a Guggenheim Fellowship. Since then, he has published numerous collections of poetry, including The Quotations of Bone (Copper Canyon Press, 2015); The Volcano (Copper Canyon Press, 2010); The Insomniac Liar of Topo (Copper Canyon Press, 2007); Ordinary Mornings of a Coliseum (Copper Canyon Press, 2004); The Mercy Seat: Collected & New Poems 1967-2001 (Copper Canyon Press, 2001), Selected and New Poems (W. W. Norton, 1986), and The Clouds of Magellan (Recursos de Santa Fe, 1992). His work has been translated into more than thirty languages.
In an interview published in American Poetry Review, Dubie said that he aims to "challenge whatever the assumed limits of the lyric are." He is well known for poems that invoke the characters and voices of other writers and artists such as Chekhov, Proust, Ingmar Bergman, Rodin, and many others.
Dubie has received the Bess Hokin Prize from the Poetry Foundation and the 2002 PEN Center USA Literary Award for Poetry, as well as fellowships and grants from the Ingram Merrill Foundation, the Guggenheim Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. He lives and teaches in Tempe, Arizona.

I will be delivering the following short talk:
Debugging Multi Core Embedded Systems using Eclipse and CDT
What is Multicore Embedded Systems?
Multi Core is the latest in the Embedded Systems space. Traditionally, debugging of single core embedded programs was done on the command shell (bash, csh) using command line tools such as gdb, emacs, vi, etc. But with the advent of multi core systems, command line solutions are unable to handle the complexity of debugging.
An IDE based on Eclipse and CDT offers a friendly UI for debugging, integrating deeply with a debugger like gdb, and has the ability to extend the platform easily for the more advanced debug scenarios.
This talk will show:
1. Demo of debugging a 2 core system modelled on System C using Xtensa Xplorer IDE.
2. What are the unique challenges of debugging multi core embedded systems?
3. Some implementation challenges where Eclipse and CDT were enhanced to support synchronized debugging.
This would be followed by a Q&A session for 15 mins
