Up to now, Russias president, Vladimir Putin, has been playing a weak hand in Ukraine very well.
I mean, how strong are you when your allies insist on wearing masks?
But Putin thinks he knows his adversaries better than they know themselves. He thinks the Americans will never be serious about energy, that the Europeans will never be serious about sanctions, that the Ukrainian reformers will never be serious about governance, and that he can control the separatist forces hes unleashed in eastern Ukraine and dial them up or down as he pleases.
The outcome of the Ukraine crisis rides primarily on whether he is right about all this. Hows his bet going so far?
There has been much talk about President Barack Obamas leadership of late. All I know is that, if Obama wants it, Ukraine provides him an ideal legacy leadership opportunity. With one initiative he could simultaneously make America stronger, Putin weaker, the planet healthier and our grandchildren safer.
Since weve ruled out sending troops, our short-term ability to influence Putin has to rely on targeted sanctions. But the serious way to weaken Putin, whose economy and government budget is hugely dependent on $100-plus-a-barrel-oil, is with an American domestic grand bargain on energy that unleashes forces that, over time, begin to affect the global price and availability of oil and gas.
Obama should summon the congressional leadership to Camp David and put his own plan on the table: Offer the Republicans the Keystone XL pipeline, expanded oil drilling and fracking (but only at the highest environmental standards) and, in return, demand a revenue-neutral carbon tax, a national renewable portfolio standard that would require every utility in America to gradually introduce more renewable power, and a national California-level home building code for energy efficiency. I would also toss in incentives for expanding the share of nuclear power in our energy mix.
The White House just released a study that found the effects of human-induced climate change impacting every corner of our country, not to mention the world. So such a grand bargain could not be a more timely and necessary win-win-win strategy. It would simultaneously increase our leverage against Putin and Mother Nature. And it would drive a suite of technologies down their cost-curves so we can deploy them at scale and ensure that America is the leader in the next great global industry: clean technology. Obama should throw caution to the wind and go big. If Republicans wont meet him even halfway on this (yes, I know, unlikely) it would expose them as unwilling to do the things that would meaningfully deter Putin, not to mention buy some insurance against climate change with policies that would make us stronger and healthier even if climate change turns out to be milder.
Go big, Mr. President. Get crazy.
But, as I said, Putin thinks he knows us better than we know ourselves, that we are all hat and no cattle. He is not without reason: For decades, both parties in America have failed to develop an energy strategy, and weve paid for it with oil price shocks, wars, pollution and climate change. Are we forever condemned to be takers, not makers, of energy policy?
And Putin thinks he knows the Europeans better, since so many are beneficiaries of his oil and gas. So far, Europes response has been more hand-wringing about Putin than neck-wringing of Putin. They talk softly and carry a big baguette.
The Ukrainian reformers, too, have a huge role to play. They must find a way to conduct free and fair elections in as much of Ukraine as possible on May 25 and then quickly move to parliamentary elections and constitutional reform to put in place the basis for decent governance. The last thing Putin wants is a fairly elected reformist government in Kiev that would have the legitimacy to associate Ukraine with the European Union. Therefore, its the first thing Ukrainians must do.
But Putin needs to beware. The separatist allies he ginned up with his agents and Goebbels-scale propaganda campaign in eastern Ukraine could spin out of control. The Putin-inspired separatists could persuade western Ukraine that there is no future with the East, and Kiev might just let them all fall into Putins lap and economic responsibility.
Putin may think hes Superman, but, the fact is, America, Europe and the Ukrainian reformers collectively have the ability to generate the Kryptonite that would render him powerless: European unity, Ukrainian government legitimacy and U.S. energy. Those are the things of which he is most afraid. What they all have in common, though, is that theyre hard, entail serious choices and will require extraordinary leadership to achieve. So watch all these fronts. I can assure you that Putin is.
Putin thinks he knows us better than we know ourselves.

Destination of the Month: Israel
Israel is a tiny country––only about 29,000 square kilometers––and yet, it is a place of amazing variety, with globally unique contrasts. For example, central Israel is the most populous place on earth, and yet, having planted over 240 million trees, it is the only country that ended the 20th century with more trees than it started with! Israel's location, bridging Africa, Asia and Europe, has blessed it with four bio-geographical zones––Mediterranean, steppe, desert and African – make it unique worldwide in terms of its combination and variety of climate, flora and fauna.
Israel has virtually no rainfall for some eight months of the year, which has spurred it to develop alternative water sources. Seventy-five percent of Israel's water is recycled after use, and the world's largest desalination plant is located in Ashkelon. Israel has pioneered arid land agriculture, and has hosted more than 200,000 people from 130 developing countries for training in agriculture and other fields.
Israel's achievements in hi-tech go back to its early days: In 1954, WEIZAC, one of the world's first computers, was designed and built at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot. Twenty-four percent of the members of Israel's work-force have university degrees, the third-largest number in the industrialized world. It also has the world's highest count of engineers per capita, and 4,000 high-tech startups, the most per-capita in the world.
Israel has produced a number of outstanding sportsmen and women––in tennis, windsurfing, judo and track and field, the latter mainly thanks to the influx of newcomers from the former Soviet Union. In the 2007 Special Olympics, Israel's team of 39 competitors garnered 42 medals: 11 gold, 22 silver and 9 bronze!
On the medical front, two out of the top three medications to treat multiple sclerosis were developed in Israel; Israeli microbiologists developed the first passive vaccine against the mosquito-borne West Nile virus, and an Israeli company developed the first ingestible video camera to help diagnose cancer and digestive disorders, so small it fits inside a pill! Israel also developed the world's first pill to deliver a daily dose of insulin to diabetes sufferers.
Perhaps most meaningful of all, some say it is the variety of Israel's people that makes it unique in so many other ways––only around 7.3 million, but hailing from over 30 regions and countries the world over.

FaceySpacey.com necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 98 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
We need to design the best logo that would go in the upper Left Corner of this site to replace the logo there. For all logos submitted, I want to see a screenshot of the site (or at least the top left part of the site) so I can see that the logo fits perfectly with the design:
I'm potentially imagining a logo that partially goes behind the yellow box below or is somehow connected to it. If it doesn't, it can still be great. That's just an idea.
Otherwise, the reason we have a file folder in the current logo is because the site has to do with the submission of physical files between lenders and brokers.
The site is about Mortgage Loans. So something that represents that could be used instead of a file folder. We've done a ton of work on the design and been through many logos and have not succeeded with a file folder. If you can make that work, great, but if you want to try something else go for it.
We're not opposed to a plain text logo. It just needs to fit seamlessly up there. It would be nice, however, to have some little aspect or streak that makes it a real logo. Maybe something simple that represents submitting a file, maybe something like a mail box or a fedex envelope. These are just some more ideas of objects. It could just be a swoosh line that represents submission.
Another thing that would be nice to see would be something that has to do with the word "SWEET." Sweet in this case means: "Sweet!" or "Awesome." The idea is that our system simplifies the mortgage loan file submission process, and it does it so well, that people will say "Awesome!" or "Sweet!" Maybe you want to use something that represents the other meaning of the word "Sweet," which is sweet like a candy.
Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you need any help or would like to talk about it before you spend time working on it. I have tons of work for good designers and this will lead to jobs from any of the top designers. Check out my site to get an idea of what level we are on and the cool stuff we're doing: http://FaceySpacey.com
- The text "Sweet Submit"
- An object or swoosh line that has to do with the ideas mentioned above
- it has to match the design perfectly
- what you submit must include the graphic of the site in the submission so I can see how the logo fits with the design
- a logo without the rest of the design in the graphic you submit
- anything less than a logo of a really good Web 2.0 RIA site

The oral
glucose tolerance test (OGTT) measures the body's ability to use a type of
sugar, called glucose, that is the body's main source of energy. An OGTT can be
used to diagnose
prediabetes and
diabetes. An OGTT is most commonly done to check for
diabetes that occurs with pregnancy (gestational diabetes).
The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)
is done to:
To prepare for
the glucose tolerance diagnostic test:
The glucose tolerance diagnostic test may take up to 4
hours. Since activity can interfere with test results, you will be asked to sit
quietly during the entire test. Do not eat during the test. You may drink only
water during this time.
Talk to your doctor about any
concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, or how it will be
done. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the
medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
On the day of
testing, the following steps will be done:
The health professional taking a sample
of your blood will:
You may find it hard to drink the
extremely sweet glucose liquid. Some people feel sick after drinking the
glucose liquid and may vomit. Vomiting may prevent you from completing the test
on that day.
The blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm. An
elastic band is wrapped around your upper arm. It may feel tight. You may feel
nothing at all from the needle, or you may feel a quick sting or pinch.
You may feel faint from having several blood samples taken in one day.
But the amount of blood taken will not cause significant blood loss or
Some people's blood glucose levels drop very low
toward the end of the test. But some people feel like their sugar levels
are low, when their levels actually are not low. Symptoms of low blood glucose
include weakness, hunger, sweating, and feeling nervous or restless. If you
develop these symptoms during the test, you may have your sugar level checked
quickly with a glucose meter. If your level is very low, the test will be
There is very little risk of a problem from having blood
drawn from a vein.
oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) measures the body's
ability to use a type of sugar, called glucose, that is the body's main source
of energy.
The normal values listed here—called a reference range—are just a guide. These ranges vary from lab to lab, and your lab may have a different range for what's normal. Your lab report should contain the range your lab uses. Also, your doctor will evaluate your results based on your health and other factors. This means that a value that falls outside the normal values listed here may still be normal for you or your lab.
But with screening for gestational diabetes, the American Diabetes Association has recommended specific glucose values be used for diagnosis. If any of your glucose values are higher than what is listed in the table, you will be diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
Less than 95 mg/dL or
5.3 mmol/L
Less than 180 mg/dL or 10.0
Less than 153 mg/dL or 8.5
You have prediabetes if the results of your oral glucose tolerance test are 140 to 199 mg/dL (2 hours after the beginning of the test).
High glucose levels may be caused
Low glucose levels may be caused
Many conditions can change blood glucose levels. Your
doctor will discuss any significant abnormal results with you in
relation to your symptoms and past health.
Reasons you may not be able to
have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
If you are diagnosed with gestational diabetes, you have a higher risk of developing diabetes later in life. The American Diabetes Association recommends screening for diabetes and prediabetes every 3 years.2

The U.S. PATRIOT Act in 2001 was a very controversial piece of legislation to begin with – giving the executive branch of the U.S. government and a number of related institutions sweeping powers to wire-tap, search, and demand personal data and communication information from a wide range of sources – often in direct violation of long-standing laws and civil liberties protected by the U.S. constitution.
Since then, the U.S. government has been accessing private records of banks, insurances, telecom companies, health care providers, and many more, mining vast amounts of sensitive data from potentially hundreds of millions of people in America in the process – with little or no democratic oversight or checks and balances.
Yeah, OK, that's in America – not here, right? Think again.
First, it's becoming increasingly clear that there is a secret version of the PATRIOT Act – the way the U.S. Department of Justice is interpreting the law, which appears significantly more invasive and far-reaching than many lawmakers and the public have been lead to believe. And, because it's classified, there is no public discussion over the true extent of the law or abuses.
Second, it turns out – as Microsoft just recently admitted (and this is true for the entire IT industry) – there is no way for U.S. companies to stop the U.S. authorities from applying the PATRIOT Act to all subsidiaries of U.S. companies worldwide. This means, essentially, that the U.S. is riding rough shot over the sovereign data and privacy protection laws of foreign countries.
Pretty much any data that is stored or processed by a subsidiary of a U.S. company and falls within the PATRIOT Act, anywhere in the world, can be demanded and collected by U.S. authorities at any time and without your knowledge, in direct violation of the laws of your own country. Mind you, this does not only apply to U.S. citizens. It applies to everyone.
Hard to believe? Yes. But the more you dig into it, the worse it gets.

In a climate of lower interest rates and elevated valuations, investors need their assets to work harder. A traditional mix of equity and bonds may not deliver adequate portfolio diversification nor allow effective targeting of liabilities. Building alternative sources of return into a portfolio can help, potentially improving overall returns, creating greater stability and allowing better risk targeting.
Private assets such as infrastructure, private equity, private debt and real estate can be difficult to access, but often offer attractive income or capital growth characteristics.
However they are not without challenges: there may be high minimum investment requirements, and they can be complex and illiquid. Investments may require significant due diligence and may not have the same transparency as publicly-traded assets. Investors usually receive a premium for taking on these risks, but need to manage them effectively in their portfolios.
We've been involved in the world of private assets for over 160 years. We helped finance the improvement of Cuba's rail network in 1853 and the construction of Japan's first railway between Tokyo and Yokohama.
Today, Schroders has the scale to operate effectively in the private assets market. We are big enough to have deep resources and skills, but small enough in these asset classes to be able to access opportunities that others may be less able to exploit.
Our teams consist of investment experts with detailed, specialist knowledge of their specific area of the private assets landscape. Our investment proposition is based on high quality analysis, awareness of megatrends and the use of data and technology to enhance our decisions. Our global research platform enables us to source ideas from around the world and the ESG (environmental, sustainability and governance) insight from our Sustainable Investment Team is vital in areas where there may not be high levels of public scrutiny.
We are one of a handful of companies with a truly diverse range of capabilities across the private assets landscape. We work collaboratively with our clients to access opportunities, long-term trends and themes that are not available via mainstream routes.

hidden meaning in ordinary word,
blood-red wings on a flightless bird,
so much frustration, same with unrest,
equal and unequal put to the test.
desire is the cause of sorrow,
live nought but for the morrow,
can the mind be ever a servent tame,
instead of a beast forever aflame?
life is too short to ever take tension,
do we spend or make do till pension,
money, money inflaming passions,
power and fame our twin obsessions.
Everything here is already known,
Birds of a flock already flown,
Myself am I not immune,
Isn't advising others inopportune?

How to choose the correct programming language
Choosing a control programming language most suitable for the task at hand reduces program complexity and troubleshooting/maintenance costs. It will also make the code more readable, improve the development process, and enhance controller performance.
The first step in solving discrete, process, batch, drive, safety, and motion control challenges is to ensure the language editors for relay ladder logic (RLL), function block diagram (FBD), sequential function chart (SFC), and structured text (ST) programming are native to your programming software and controller. Then, use the chart below to best match the task to the appropriate language.
When a section of your code represents the following, select:
Relay Ladder Logic (RLL) for:
- Continuous or parallel execution of multiple operations (not sequenced)
- Boolean or bit-based operations
- Complex logical operations
- Message and communication processing
- Machine interlocking
- Operations that service or maintenance personnel may have to interpret to troubleshoot the machine or process
- Servo motion control
Function Block Diagram (FBD) for:
- Continuous process and drive control
- Loop control
- Calculations in circuit flow
Sequential Function Chart (SFC) for:
- High-level management of multiple operations
- Repetitive sequences of operations
- Batch process
- Motion control sequencing (via sequential function chart with embedded structure text)
- State machine operations
Structured Text (ST) for:
- Complex mathematical operations structured text
- Specialized array or table loop processing
- ASCII string handling or protocol processing
For example, it's possible to use relay ladder logic for complex data handling, such as sorting algorithms. This process would work but take weeks (and potentially hundreds of rungs of code) to program. This would be time-consuming to write and maintain, less readable, and require extra time in the controller to scan and execute. Using structured text for this task is more suitable, making programming a complex, bubble-sorting algorithm simple, straightforward, and more efficient, approximately 10 lines of code with less impact on controller performance.
This is just one example of choosing the right programming language for the right task. Mixing and matching programming languages in a project to meet an application need is an essential competency of your programming software. Some programming software will allow, within the same project, programming for a batch operation in SFC, pump station in FBD, conveyor system in RLL, and a complex mathematical algorithm in ST.

I am really excited about this next tutorial that I am going to be submitting for you all. Last year I did a lesson on an anime/manga character called Sailor Moon or Usagi Tsukino. She came out so pretty and the lesson itself came out to be really simple too. I was going through my anime section on the site to see which characters would make awesome chibis. I came across Sailor Moon and knew right than and there that she was the next anime star that I wanted to turn into a chibi. So that is what this tutorial is going to show you today. I am going to teach you "how to draw chibi Sailor Moon step by step". She came out looking so incredibly nice and really bright. I love how the colors came out as well and her body position and pose. Whenever I draw a chibi character I like to draw them in an action stance or even just holding something. For the chibi Inuyasha, he is always so still anyway so I didn't bother drawing him out in any special pose. For Sailor Moon I drew her right hand on her hip and her left hand is holding her pretty pink sword. To me she came out simply marvelous. I think you guys will enjoy this tutorial on "how to draw chibi Sailor Moon" step by step. Unfortunately, I do have to break away from this lesson because there is a lot more for me to put up. I will be back later with one more chibi character and other lessons for your pleasure. Peace out gang and happy drawing!

IBM Cloud Fizzles
Based on my positive review below of IBM's CloudBurst technology for building internal clouds, I tuned into the IBM webinar for the external cloud companion product with high hopes. I was hoping to hear about a consistent architecture across the two products that would allow an enterprise to federate workloads seamlessly between the internal and external cloud. Boy, was I disappointed.
It seems the IBM external cloud is nothing more than an IBM hosted capability for running virtual appliances of IBM Rational Software products. Among my many disappointments:
- no ability to run virtual appliances defined by me. They don't even publish a specification.
- no federation between internal and external. They are not even the same architecture because one runs Xen and the other runs VMware, and they do not provide a conversion utility.
- private beta (alpha maybe?) for invited customers only. Why make an announcement?
- no timetable for general availability of a product. Why make an announcement?
This announcement was a terrible showing by IBM to say the least. It is obvious to me that the CloudBurst appliance folks (call them "left hand") and the Smart Business cloud folks (call them "right hand") were two totally different teams. And the left hand had no idea what the right hand was doing. But each was intent not to be outdone by the other in announcing "something" with cloud in the title. And they were told to "cooperate" by some well meaning marketing and PR person from corporate. And this mess of a situation is the outcome. Good grief!

Thanks, Leila. I sent questions I had to Occulus but haven't received a response yet. But your article is just what I need to share with my son's doctors in an explanation of how the substance works and that cllinical trails have been done.
Do you know if clinical trials are being considered for treatment or prevention of UTIs? ( I know you had asked Dr. Young about that long ago.)
Don't give up MaryJane. It's a long road and there's a lot of complacency to contend with. But if you keep your spirits up and just keep supplying more and more info, people will start to acknowledge the importance of Microcyn as a medical breakthrough. These videos contain much info:
I wish I could say that clinical trials for urology have begun but I fear we are caught up in entrepeneurial entanglements that may put this off for awhile. I don't know. But cllnical trials can cost up to a quarter of a billion dollars and Oculus is still pushing hard for profitability at this point. A lot of people are suffering because of this, but I try not to blame anyone.
Hoji Alimi, the founder and CEO of Oculus, is a good man--you might try expressing your concerns to him: firstname.lastname@example.com
You're a loving Mom--and your son is blessed with that gift.
most state it will disinfect if left wet for 10 minutes on non-porous surfaces.
the forst time i read instructional odnhand sanitizer, it stated at least a couple minutes and to let air dry for that time/
who does this----------- no body
cauda equina
i posted a new c diff treatment i saw on med page on this forum last night, it sounds strange, but check it out and you can always get more info from the people doing this technique. it is weird though, transplant of feces, but they said they had success.i will come back and edit with the link
cauda equina
My son contracted a UTI (club ciela(sp?)) at the trauma hospital that not only is resistant but required that we all wear isolation gowns not only for his trauma stay but also for his rehab stay (total of five months). We were very compliant about the gowns ad gloves and were told at then end of our rehab stay that we are the exception.
He evidently still has the germs since they were never killed. The only time I wear gloves while taking care of him is when I administer a bullet (for obvious reasons). I do, however, wash my hands 100 times a day. Yes my hand are dry ( a bit of EVOO before bed helps when I remember). No one at my house has gotten sick, nor has Ryan. It his urine gets on a open wound, there is probably a risk.
One of the nurses at his rehab facility told me that washing was better than gloves since the gloves are in the same room as the patient and exposed not only to his germs, but those of anyone touching the box without washing first. She also expressed the need for patients for skin to skin contact. How would you feel if no one was willing to touch you without putting on gloves? Washing before and after contact is the answer.
Ryan got his infection by doing bowel program in the bed (no option at that time) with a foley (again, no option at that time). I do still think that better hygiene could have prevented it (securing the foley area so that no contact with stool was possible). My big fear is that if he ever an inpatient again and they test him, it is back to isolation even though he has carried this for almost two years and no one has gotten sick. We used to joke that we were going to take the foley hose and swing it around the room to make them properly clean in the unit. Watching the cleaning person every day make me understand that they are not as diligent as I am in my kitchen and my kitchen is not a trauma unit.--eak

Dude, am I driving?
3 comments:
The story is funny but the writing is funnier. An eensy-weensy story with 6 references to someone being sloshed (counting the headline). What's an underpaid copy monkey to do? "Drunken" sounds so weird; he wanted to say "drunk," but the dog-eared stylebook told him it has to be attributive, so "drunken" it is. After three drunkens the story's only half done, but he's not feeling so good himself. Damn--the word "drunken" looks really stupid now. No worries: He chucks in "inebriated" instead. And again. And again!

Hillary Clinton ponders 'hard questions' in deciding on 2016
Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, even while joking that she was doing her best to "dance around" the question of a presidential bid, delivered unusually expansive comments Tuesday about the doubts that come into play as she decides whether to run in 2016.
"The hard questions are not, 'Do you want to be president? Can you win?' Clinton told an enthusiastic crowd of about 2,000 at the Marketo Marketing Nation Summit at the Moscone Center, where she delivered a keynote address. "The hard questions are, 'Why? Why would you want to do this? And what could you offer that could make a difference?' "
When the former first lady sat for questions with Marketo CEO Phil Fernandez, however, the audience erupted in cheers at the mere mention of her being on a "campaign swing" in San Francisco.
"I'm actually here hoping to get some marketing advice," she joked to Fernandez, whose San Mateo company makes marketing software.
But then she added, "I am obviously ... deeply honored to have some people ask me and people encourage me ... and I am obviously thinking about it."
Clinton also delivered some tough remarks about Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling him "a very hard guy, a tough guy with thin skin who believes that the best way of moving forward is moving backward."
Personal dealings with Putin were challenging, she said. He "will throw an insult your way," Clinton said. "He will look bored, even dismissive."
But, she added to laughs, that he didn't faze her because "I have a lot of experience with people like that."
Bolstering her standing
Clinton's San Francisco appearance was her first on a western tour that will take her to San Jose State University on Thursday as well as to Las Vegas, San Diego and Portland, Ore.
With more than two years to go before the 2016 election, Clinton's travels serve not only to put her before voters in key media markets, but help bolster her spot - confirmed by most major polls - as the leading contender for the White House.
Clinton said Tuesday that in trying to decide whether to run, she wonders about plunging into "disheartening and even embarrassing" fights such as whether to let the government go into default to make a point over balancing budgets.
Treated like a candidate
The former senator representing New York said she wonders of Republican congressional leaders, "What is their plan, what is their vision? If you're going to compete in this arena, you're going to have to put forth your competing purpose and vision."
Clinton said she won't decide whether to run "for a while," adding that the United States would be better served if it "had the limited campaign period that other countries have ... 30 to 60 or 90 days ... because then we could pay attention to these upcoming elections" like the 2014 midterms.
Clinton may not have be officially running, but Republicans are already treating her like a candidate.
"It's only fitting that Hillary Clinton would kick off her West Coast tour in the liberal bastion of San Francisco," Jahan Wilcox, a Republican National Committee spokesman, said Tuesday in a statement. "Instead of answering questions about her troubled record at the State Department - which includes Benghazi and the failed Obama-Clinton Russian reset - Clinton is opting to hang out at high-dollar speaking engagements."

In order to write your WPP 392 essay, you will need to do a critical reading of an article and critical thinking about the ideas, issues, and questions the article raises for a reader. Critical reading includes, but is not limited to the following:
Critical thinking means taking the knowledge you gain through critical reading and combining or synthesizing that information with your own ideas and knowledge to come to new conclusions about the ideas being considered. Therefore, you should choose the article you will use for the exam carefully.
Once you have made your choice, spend some time analyzing and thinking about the article and the issues it raises.
You may want to do the following:


text:
With application identity you are taking control of the specification of id's to DataNucleus. Application identity requires a primary key class (unless you have a single primary-key field in which case the PK class is provided for you) , and each persistent capable class may define a different class for its primary key, and different persistent capable classes can use the same primary key class, as appropriate. With application identity the field(s) of the primary key will be present as field(s) of the class itself. To specify that a class is to use application identity , you add the following to the MetaData for the class.
<class name="MyClass" objectid-class="MyIdClass"> <field name="myPrimaryKeyField" primary-key="true"/> ... </class>
For JDO we specify the primary-key and objectid-class . The objectid-class is optional, and is the class defining the identity for this class (again, if you have a single primary-key field then you can omit it). Alternatively, if we are using annotations
@PersistenceCapable(objectIdClass=MyIdClass.class) public class MyClass { @Persistent(primaryKey="true") private long myPrimaryKeyField; }
See also :-
Using application identity requires the use of a Primary Key class. When you have a single primary-key field a built-in class is available meaning you don't need to define this class. This is referred to as SingleFieldIdentity . Where the class has multiple fields that form the primary key a Primary Key class must be provided.
See also :-
Where one of the fields that is primary-key of your class is a persistable object you have something known as compound identity since the identity of this class contains the identity of a related class. Please refer to the docs for Compound Identity
By choosing application identity you are controlling the process of identity generation for this class. This does not mean that you have a lot of work to do for this. JDO defines many ways of generating these identities and DataNucleus supports all of these and provides some more of its own besides.
See also :-
When using application identity , the class has associated field(s) that equate to the identity. As a result you can simply access the values for these field(s). Alternatively you could use a JDO identity-independent way
Object id = pm.getObjectId(obj);
Object id = JDOHelper.getObjectId(obj);
JDO allows implementations to support the changing of the identity of a persisted object. This is an optional feature and DataNucleus doesn't currently support it.
If you have the JDO identity then you can access the object with that identity like this
Object obj = pm.getObjectById(id);
If you are using SingleField identity then you can access it from the object class name and the key value like this
Object obj = pm.getObjectById(MyClass.class, mykey);
If you are using your own PK class then the mykey value is the toString() form of the identity of your PK class.

Biology experiments
The role of weightlessness on actin metabolism in mammalian cells
This experiment aims to study the effect of weightlessness on the structure and metabolism of the protein actin in mammalian cells. Actin is an important molecule for cell shape and movement. It is also one of two proteins involved in muscle contraction and is found in both skeletal and non-skeletal muscle.
Bone cell mechanosensitivity in weightlessness
In the bone formation process, bone cells called osteocytes produce certain signalling molecules that are responsible for maintaining bone health. Osteocytes produce these signalling molecules in response to stresses in bone under loading. The specific aim of this research is to test whether bone cells under weightlessness conditions have decreased sensitivity to stress by measuring the amount of signalling molecules they produce when stressed in space.
Osteocytes are the bone cells which are sensitive to mechanical stress. In this experiment, osteocytes will be compared to osteoblasts (bone forming cells) and periosteal fibroblasts (the cells found around bones from which connective tissue develops such as ligaments and tendons). Osteocytes, osteoblasts, and periosteal fibroblasts will be cultured with and without gravity. Gravity will be applied in the Soyuz TMA spacecraft using an onboard centrifuge.
Results from this experiment will provide further insight in the process of bone loss in space or on ground.
First International C.elegans Experiment : Physiological and genomic study of a nematode worm in space
ICE-first consists of several experiments, which will be investigating the effects of spaceflight on a model organism of the nematode family (Caenorhabditis elegans) and to develop links to human physiology in space. The organism chosen is known to be able to mate, reproduce and develop apparently normally during space flight.
One set of experiments will study the effect that radiation has on genetic stability. A second experiment is a study into muscle growth and endurance. The third experiment will do an analysis of almost the complete genome of the nematode worm in weightlessness to see which genes react differently in space than on Earth. The fourth experiment will study the development of nematode worm larvae in space. The last set experiment will try to determine if microtubules and microfilaments in specific cells of the nematode worm are sensitive to weightlessness.
The influence of weightlessness on the activation of the NF-ÊB (NF-kappaB) protein
NF-ÊB is a protein, which acts as a principal regulator of inflammation and immunity in the body. This experiment will study how NF-ÊB is transferred to the nucleus of a type of white blood cell called a monocyte, in weightlessness. It will further study the activation of a protein called I-ÊB, which inhibits the activity of NF-ÊB, and study the activation of several enzymes in weightlessness. The results obtained from this experiment may lead to more in-depth research, which could eventually provide the countermeasures to many illnesses suffered by humans on Earth.
Influence of gravity on the cytoskeleton and the determination of the division plane in plants
The cytoskeleton is an arrangement of fine tubules, microfilaments, and larger filaments within a cell, which serve to provide support to the cell's structure, and to transport components from one part of the cell to another.
The cytoskeleton of plants, which consists of protein molecules arranged into chains, plays a crucial role in the orientation of the cell, the process of cell division and the direction of plant growth. This ultimately determines the plant's final shape and ultimately how well it functions as a complete organism. The TUBUL experiment aims at identifying the role that gravity plays in the organization and dynamics of the fine tubules (microtubuli) in living plant cells grown in space.

Seems to me that the problem is in my DVBlink installation since I can't get any picture if I try via Firefox. I'm getting the channels listing but I only get black pic when I try to play.
All my other clients, WMC7,Xbox even Android, Iphone and dlna are working perfect so there must be something fishy in the dvblink webserver.
Any suggestions Oberon?

Coach Brandon Rosenthal had been looking for a challenge for his Lady Bisons and Friday night he found it at Alico Arena in Fort Myers, Fla. The Lady Bisons rallied to win 3-2 against Florida Gulf Coast in an Atlantic Sun Conference match.
"I am proud of the girls," Rosenthal said. "I give a lot of credit to Florida Gulf Coast's coaching staff and players. They game-planned well against us and they executed well. At times they outplayed us."
The Lady Bisons won the first set 25-16, lost set two 25-23, won set three 25-23 and then lost set four 25-20. The Lady Bisons were forced to make a comeback in set five for a 15-12 win. It was the first time this season an A-Sun team has won more than one set in a match against the Lady Bisons.
"We had a tough time getting into a rhythm," Rosenthal said. "Defensively, we didn't make some stops that we should have. Offensively, we just struggled from top to bottom. It is hard when you struggle as a team. We couldn't get anything going."
In the fifth set the Lady Bisons were down 11-10 prompting Rosenthal to call a timeout. The Lady Bisons came back out and scored five points to one by Florida Gulf Coast to ice the match. They finished the set with a .417 hitting percentage, their highest of the match.
"In the fifth set the girls found a way against tough competition," Rosenthal said. "When you look at that last set we could have easily folded. For us to hit that well was tremendous for us.
"During the timeout the focus for us was that we needed to execute. We were not doing the little things well like moving our feet to pass and being disciplined on defense. Even in the fifth set we gave up a lot of points that we don't normally do."
Outside hitter Meghan Hinemeyer led the Lady Bisons with 18 kills, a personal game-high for the season. Middle blocker Alex Kelly added 17 kills. Charlyn Ursell made 14 kills to go with a .480 hitting percentage.
"I thought Char really turned it up towards the end, especially in the fourth set," Rosenthal said. "She was demanding the ball. That was the first time we have heard that from her. That is something we would love to see from her again. We need that at times.
"Meghan did not play her best, especially in sets two and three. She really was struggling. We encouraged her to just keep working. In the fifth set she came up with some huge kills when we needed to be bailed out."
Defensively Kelly led the way for the Lady Bisons with 17 digs. Defensive specialist Caitlin "Dot" Dotson added 16. Hinemeyer and libero Stephanie Rex each had 11.
The win kept the Lady Bisons unbeaten this season in Atlantic Sun matches with an 8-0 record. It was also their 33rd straight conference regular season win.
The Lady Bisons hold a 6-2 lead in the series overall with Florida Gulf Coast. It was the second win of the season for the Lady Bisons against Florida Gulf Coast. The two teams played Sept. 26 at Allen Arena with the Lady Bisons winning 3-0.
In Friday's match Chelsea Lyles, with a match-high 22 kills, and Holly Youngquist, with a match-high 22 digs, led Florida Gulf Coast.
The Lady Bisons, 19-6 overall, travel to Stetson Saturday for a match starting at noon in DeLand, Fla. If they win it would mark the fourth season in a row the Lady Bisons have won 20 or more matches.
"We had to play in front of a really great crowd at Florida Gulf Coast," Rosenthal said. "Our girls found a way at the end. They really stuck together. That was probably the best thing we took away from the match.
"The 20-win mark is one that all coaches want to get to each season. It will probably mean more to me than to the players."
Florida Gulf Coast slipped to 5-17, 2-6 in the A-Sun. Stetson, 1-23, 0-8 in the A-Sun, lost 3-1 to Belmont Friday night at the Edmunds Center.

With an endless supply of streaming media at our fingertips, who in their right mind would spend money on a radio these days? That's probably the same question Lexon's designers were asking themselves, just before they came up with the stunning design for the company's Flow FM radio.
Yep, you read that right. The Flow isn't even an AM/FM radio: it's FM only. But who cares? Its see-through housing is beautiful, and they've included a line-in jack so you can technically connect any audio source you want. If you're having trouble swallowing its £65 price tag just consider it like buying a piece of art that you'll actually use and want to stare at all day long.

Advocating for Women and GirlsFebruary 14, 2013
Empowering women as individuals and as a community is what we are all about. As a national grassroots organization, we have made a lasting positive impact through our Legal Advocacy Fund, Action Fund, and Public Policy initiatives. We focus on issues of civil rights, economic security, and education to advocate for women and girls.
With the help of volunteers across the country, during the 2012 campaign season we launched a nonpartisan, nationwide voter education and turnout campaign, It's My Vote: I Will Be Heard, through the Action Fund. The campaign registered tens of thousands of voters. We have supported veterans who are victims of sexual assault, turned AAUW's important sexual harassment research into concrete action in America's middle and high schools, and supported Title IX victories throughout the law's 40-year history.
AAUW has made many more accomplishments on other fronts in 2012:
- The AAUW Legal Advocacy Fund disbursed $100,000 to support 10 lawsuits, including class actions Wal-Mart v. Dukes, Cioca v. Rumsfeld and other military sexual assault cases, and Klay v Panetta.
- We released Graduating to a Pay Gap: The Earnings of Women and Men One Year after College Graduation, a research report exploring the earning difference between women and men college graduates one year after graduation.
- AAUW members and supporters sent more than 100,000 letters to Capitol Hill and the Obama administration calling for pay equity through our Two-Minute Activist program.
- We reached 30 campuses and more than 600 participants through Elect Her–Campus Women Win, the only program in the country that trains college women to run for student government.
- With the passage of an AAUW-supported bill, Congress prevented student loan interest rates from doubling this summer, helping those with student loans meet their commitment in a tough economy.
Join AAUW today as we carry out projects that empower women and men in our communities and across the country. It's what we've been doing since 1881 and it's what we'll continue to do.

Logos Bible Software, Vyrso, Verbum, and Noet) is the parent of several sites—including but not limited to Logos.com, Biblia.com, Faithlife.com, Vyrso.com, Verbum.com, and Noet.com—that share the same user accounts. Your account with any of these brands is a single account with Faithlife Corporation.
Our offices are at 1313 Commercial St., Bellingham, Washington, 98225, USA.
We record standard information on site visitors, including IP addresses, times and dates, referring/exit pages, operating systems, clickstreams, web browser brands and versions, pages visited, demographic data, and user-interface languages. Our sites set cookies in order to identify repeat visitors. This is statistical data about our visitors and does not personally identify any individual
In order to use Faithlife.com, the Faithlife Study Bible, or other Faithlife products, you will need to create an account with us. We require your name and email address. You must create a password. We do not store the password, and cannot access it or email it to you if lost; we store an encrypted hash of your password and can only email you a link to reset your password.
If you purchase something from us, we collect your address, telephone number, and credit card information to complete the transaction. We exercise great care with credit card information and follow industry-standard security procedures for storing billing information.
You have the option of providing information about yourself as part of your Faithlife profile. You control what profile information is or is not shared on your public profile page. However, the fact that you have an account with us may be discoverable regardless of your profile settings. For example, a public profile page is created for every user account, identified by either a unique alias (which you may choose) or by a computer-generated user ID. By using your alias, which defaults to matching your name, by testing user IDs, or by trying to create a new alias using your name, anyone can determine if there is a Faithlife account with a certain name.
You must be at least 13 years of age to use Faithlife. Faithlife is neither designed nor intended for use by children under 13.
When you post to My Faithlife or to a group, who can see your post or reply is controlled by a combination of your privacy settings and those of the group. Faithlife attempts to be clear about who can see what post, but group administrators can change the privacy settings on a group, or you could change settings on your own account, in ways that might enable users who couldn't previously see a post to see it. When you reply to a post, or click an affirmation such as "Like" or "Praying", it will be visible to everyone who could see the original post. All of your posts and replies are affiliated with you, and people who can see them can click through to your profile page, where you control who can see what.
Faithlife is built around communities represented by Faithlife groups. The administrators of a group can customize the privacy settings for each individual group, but by default you can see posts and profiles of people who are also members of your groups. When you "Join" a group you become a member, and are in community with the other members of the group. "Followers" and "Observers" can see posts and information within a group, but are not considered "co-members" of the group and do not have co-member visibility of your My Faithlife posts and profile information.
Faithlife is built on communities, not one-to-one connections. So while you do not need to create a connection with everyone in your church in order to share with them, you also will not be notified every time someone joins or leaves your church community. New users may join a community you are a member of and gain co-member status with regards to you without your prior notification.
If you participate in communities on Faithlife, you are implicitly granting some control of your posting and profile privacy to the administrators of the groups you join; group administrators control whether a group is open or closed, and can allow new members into even closed groups.

We compile aggregated statistics, stripped of personally identifiable information, about Faithlife users and share these statistics through Faithlife, internally, and with outside partners. Twenty records is the minimum number from which we compile aggregate statistics. For example, users may provide their denominational affiliation and other details on their Faithlife profile. We might tell a Faithlife group administrator that of the 350 followers of the group, 20% are Baptist, 30% are Presbyterian, and 50% are non-denominational. We might tell the author or publisher of an electronic book that 62% of the purchasers were female, or that 18% of the sales came from outside the United States. We might report that X% of My Faithlife posts were affirmed by "Praying" and Y% by "Amen" or "Like." We might do statistical textual analysis to report that X% of My Faithlife posts that were affirmed by "Praying" contained the words "sick" or "ill" or "illness."
Our sites may embed advertising from third-party providers. We may use embedded widgets or 'iframe' controls from third parties. These sites may set their own web browser cookies which are beyond our control.
Our emails may include tiny graphics that contain unique identifiers that help us detect if an email has been opened. We use this to judge the effectiveness of email marketing and to help us reduce unwanted/unread email.

Series 007 Double Check Valve Assemblies are Watts "contractor grade" double check valve. They began production in 1989 and still are being manufactured. Available in sizes 1/2 - 3" all models feature a one cover design. The smaller 1/2 - 2" models are all constructed of bronze and use check modules that slide into the body and are held in place with a retainer. The modules come apart for service. Over the years, Watts has redesigned the devices slightly. They call these changes "modifications." You will notice devices tagged with 007, 007M1, 007M2, and 007M3. The "M" stands for modification and although the appearance is very similar on all these valves, their parts are very different, so be sure of your valve before ordering. The larger 2 1/2 - 3" devices are available in bronze or a cast iron epoxy coated body. Many different shutoff options and configuration options are available. Like the smaller sizes, they use self contained check assemblies with a retainer. For a short time, Watts offered a 4 - 6" 007 that discontinued in 1992. No special tools are required for servicing 007 Series devices

I've never been more excited for a US Census…EVER! They're doing a perfect job of marketing to our generation. This television ad is part of the U.S. Census Bureau's national advertising campaign to boost mail participation rates in the once-a-decade population count. For every percentage point increase in the 2010 Census mail-back participation rate, the Census Bureau saves about $85 million in follow-up costs with households that failed to return their forms. The advertising campaign represents the most extensive and diverse outreach campaign in U.S. history, with advertisements appearing in 28 languages
The 2010 census is the most ambitious count ever of the nation's population. Did you know that a census is required every 10 years by the U.S. Constitution's Article 1, Section 2? I didn't, (but that doesn't say much)!
What Peaked My Interest?
I was still a bit weary and un-interested, but at this point, I not only felt obligated…I was actually excited! And then I got this letter…
…I couldn't help but think "Woah, I'm actually excited to fill out this census!" Can't speak for anyone else, but assume other people felt the same way.
Use of The Internet/Viral Campaign
The commercials went viral and their web-presence was growing, but how effective was it overall? Their YouTube campaign (Youtube.com/user/uscensusbureau) was helpful, though their channel has only received 100,000 views. That's less than "David After Dentist" which has over 54,000,000+ views on that 1 video alone. It doesn't imply anything about our country, but for something this important, I feel they should have had more views. STILL…they deserve credit for Blogging, Tweeting, Newsletters and more. They've done everything possible to reach us and make us interested, now it's time to do our part…
For more information, visit 2010.census.gov.

Welcome to the NEW WolfeOnDemand - the global LBGT movie-watching platform
The all-time classic lesbian favorite romantic film!
Based on Jane Rule's novel "Desert of the Heart," this beautiful lesbian romance tells the story of Vivian Bell (Helen Shaver), a repressed English professor who goes to Reno for a quickie divorce in 1959. She spends the weeks waiting for her final divorce papers at a dude ranch where she meets Cay Rivvers (Patricia Charbonneau), a beautiful young casino worker. Cay is a free spirit – an artist by day and casino worker by night, as well as a lesbian. Her surrogate mother Frances (Audra Lindley in an amazing departure from her comic role in "Three's Company") disapproves of her lifestyle, while also craving Cay's affection and attention.
To everyone's surprise, Vivian and Cay hit it off immediately as Cay introduces the shy academic to the wild-west casino scene as well as the breathless beauty of the desert. It's not long before Vivian finds her friendship moving into unexpected passion. And for Cay, it's the first time she has met someone who stirs her deepest emotions.
This Deluxe Edition also includes a terrific 12-minute bonus extra: "The Never Before Seen Footage of the Love Scene!"
"This timeless classic is one of the best lesbian love stories ever – and also happens to have one of the hottest love scenes." – Jenny Stewart, PlanetOut.com
