US gun violence: Murders down, suicides up, CDC reports
(HealthDay)—Fewer people in America's largest cities are being murdered by guns, but the rate of suicide by gun has increased in recent years, U.S. health officials said Thursday.
The report on gun violence from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that the overall gun-murder rate dropped by about 15 percent overall between 2006-2007 and 2009-2010 in a majority of the nation's 50 largest cities.
However, the suicide-by-gun rate rose 10 to 15 percent in nearly three-quarters of those cities during the same time frame.
"There is good news and concerning news in this article," said report co-author James Mercy, of the violence prevention division within the CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control.
The rate of gun murders at the hands of youths aged 10 to 19 exceeded gun murders by adults, and accounted for nearly 3,400 firearm killings in 2009-2010. More than 1,500 teens and preteens took their own lives by gun in that time period, according to the findings, published in the Aug. 2 issue of the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
In total, more than 22,500 gun murders and more than 38,000 gun suicides were tallied for 2009-2010, the researchers found.
Overall, "the firearm homicide rate has actually declined for the three years that we covered in this study. And this is consistent with the long-term decline that we witnessed in firearm homicide rates in the U.S.," said Mercy. He credited police efforts to curb gang violence and the healthier U.S. economy for improvements in the overall rate of gun murders.
Suicides by gun jumped almost 2 percentage points in Oklahoma City and from less than 8 percent to more than 9 percent in the Tampa, Fla., area. In Salt Lake City, gun suicides climbed to more than 11 percent from less than 9 percent in the earlier gun-violence report.
"Guns are the most prevalent form of suicide in the United States," Mercy said. This increase in gun suicides is part of an overall upturn in people killing themselves, he added.
Unemployment and other economic factors related to the recent recession have been cited in the overall increase in suicides, he noted.
The grim statistics highlight the need for stricter gun restrictions, one expert said.
"If there is any question that gun control is a big problem, here's a good example of why," said Dr. Victor Fornari, chief of child and adolescent psychiatry at Zucker Hillside Hospital in Glen Oaks, N.Y.
"Access to firearms is a serious public health problem," he said. "Limiting access to firearms would reduce homicide as well as suicide. As long as guns are available there are going to be these violent outcomes."
Mercy thinks violence prevention is key. "One area where we have made a lot of progress is in preventing youth violence," he said.
Programs for teens that teach skills for conflict-resolution have been effective, he noted. And programs that focus on family cohesion and proper supervision are also beneficial, Mercy said.
Neighborhood watch programs also help stem violence, Mercy added.
Cities that have seen gun murders decline include New Orleans, where the rate fell from 23 percent to 19 percent; the Los Angeles area, with a drop from 6 percent to just over 4 percent; and Richmond, Va., where gun murders dropped from 7.4 percent to less than 6 percent.
Suicides are more difficult to prevent than gun murders, Mercy said. This involves identifying people at risk and getting them help and making them feel less isolated, he explained.
Overall, safe gun storage is essential for cutting down on murders and suicides. "Everyone believes in the value of storing firearms safely," he said.
Additional research is needed to assess the value of other preventive strategies, the CDC authors stated. These might include waiting periods to curtail impulsive suicidal behavior, improving gun-design safety and conducting background checks to prevent high-risk individuals from obtaining deadly weapons.

Robotic laparoscopic partial nephrectomy incorporates the DaVinci® robotic system to assist the surgeon to perform a laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. The DaVinci® Surgical System consists of an ergonomically designed surgeon's console, a patient-side cart with four interactive robotic arms, and a high-definition visual system. This system has been used in complex laparoscopic cases for over a decade with its safety well documented for procedures such as laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Recently, the system has been applied with initial success for laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for kidney cancer.
The DaVinci® robot has several advantages that may make it useful for laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in the treatment of kidney cancer. The DaVinci® robot has an excellent optical system that provides high-definition imaging and a three dimensional view for the surgeon. The majority of minimally invasive surgery is currently performed in two dimensions, and the DaVinci® robot optical system helps the surgeon better understand the anatomy.
Surgeon views through the DaVinci optical system and view of robot/surgeon hand interface.
The DaVinci system also offers the surgeon improved dexterity as it uses instinctive operative controls to move laparoscopic instruments with greater movement capabilities than the human wrist would normally allow. These controls may allow for greater operative precision during the reconstruction (rebuilding) of the kidney after the kidney cancer has been removed during the laparoscopic partial nephrectomy procedure.
DaVinci robot simulates and can even enhance the normal human wrist dexterity.
Robotic laparoscopic partial nephrectomy with the DaVinci® robotic system uses the robot and a minimally invasive approach (laparoscopy) to perform exactly the same procedure that is done in open or laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. In any partial nephrectomy (open, laparoscopic, or robotic), the kidney cancer is removed with a small amount of normal tissue around it. The normal tissue around the cancer that is removed is known as the margin, and this tissue serves to assure that no cancer is left in the body. The term "negative margin" means that the entire kidney cancer has been removed completely.
A "positive margin" means that some of the kidney cancer may have been left on the kidney. With the robotic laparoscopic procedure, just as in the standard laparoscopic approach to partial nephrectomy, no large incisions are required to perform the procedure. Instead of a large incision, five or six 1/2 cm to 1 cm incisions (less than 1/2 inch) are made. The spaces in the body are gently filled with gas to make working space and a small camera is placed into the body through one of the incisions. The other small incisions are used to place working instruments, which can be used to perform the procedure.
The kidney cancer is then identified. Usually, the kidney cancer can be readily seen using the DaVinci® robot's optical system. If the cancer is deep within the kidney, a laparoscopic ultrasound device can be used to very precisely identify the size and location of the kidney cancer. The laparoscopic ultrasound can even determine the amount of blood flow to the kidney and to the cancer. Another advantage of the DaVinci® robot is that the surgeon can have the patient's anatomy and the ultrasound view simultaneously put on one screen for coordinated usage. Once the kidney cancer is identified, the kidney's blood supply is temporarily stopped. By stopping the blood to the kidney, the surgery can be performed without significant bleeding. The cancer is then removed with the margin of normal tissue.
Once the kidney cancer has been removed, the kidney is repaired by closing the collecting system (plumbing within the kidney) and then by closing the functioning kidney tissues. The removal of the kidney cancer and the repair of the kidney should be in as short a time as possible to prevent long-term damage to kidney function.
To date, there has been little information comparing the DaVinci® robotic partial nephrctomy to a standard laparoscopic partial neprhectomy. The DaVinci® robot does demand that the patient have a few more small incisions than is usually used during a laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Additionally, the DaVinci® robotic partial nephrectomy does require that the surgeon have an experienced assistant during the procedure to assure an optimal outcome and to minimize the risk of complications. As with any surgical technology, it is the experience of the surgeon and the familiarity of the operative team with the technology that result in the safest and best outcomes.
DaVinci® laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for kidney cancer is performed by a Urologist (kidney surgeon) in an operating room. Prior to scheduling the procedure, each patient should have an extensive consultation with their Urologist regarding the nature of their kidney disease as well as all of the available treatment options. This discussion should review all the advantages and limitations of each surgical and non-surgical approach.
Once you and your Urologist have decided on DaVinci® robotic laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, a date for surgery is chosen. Typically, a patient goes to the hospital on the day of surgery. General anesthesia (you are completely asleep) is required. The Procedure is then done through three or five or six small incisions, which are either 1/2 a centimeter or 1 cm in length (less than 1/4 to 1/2 and inch). Once the DaVinci® robot has been engaged, the kidney is then identified so that the kidney cancer can be found. Once the target kidney cancer is identified, the renal artery (blood supply to the kidney) is temporarily blocked. With the blood supply temporarily interrupted, it is possible to completely remove the kidney cancer with a small margin of normal tissue all the way around it. Once the cancer is removed, stitches are used to close the kidney's collecting system (plumbing system within the kidney that carries urine), to stop all the bleeding sites, and to close the functioning tissue that makes up the majority of the kidney. The repair of the area of the kidney where the kidney cancer has been removed is known as reconstruction of the kidney.
Once the kidney has been reconstructed, the blood supply to the kidney is opened, and the kidney cancer is removed from the body by extending one of the small incisions. While the patient is still under anesthesia, the surgeon works with a pathologist to assure that the entire cancer has been removed (a negative surgical margin has been achieved). Once complete removal of the kidney cancer has been confirmed, a small tube may be left in the area of the surgery (drain) to remove any excess fluids that may collect in the area.
Once the procedure is complete, the patient is transferred to the recovery room for observation and then to a hospital room. Typically, on the day of surgery, the patient can drink liquids, walk around, and is relatively comfortable with limited pain. On the day after surgery it is common to have a regular diet. If a drain has been left in place, it is usually removed on the first day after surgery. If everything has gone well, most people are discharged home on the first or second day after surgery with limited well-controlled pain, eating a regular diet, and feeling well. On discharge, oral antibiotics and oral pain medications are typically prescribed.
There are a number of important patient and tumor parameters that are critical in deciding the type of treatment that is best for a small renal mass. Considerations are numerous but include: the size and general radiographic appearance of the mass, the local anatomy of the mass, the overall age and health condition of the patient, overall kidney function, the number of lesions in the kidney, patient personal preference, etc. The decision on a proper strategy for the treatment of kidney cancer is challenging and should be made by each patient in conjunction with a Urologist who is experienced in managing kidney cancer.
Initial experience is showing that the DaVinci® robotic laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is a very effective procedure for the treatment of kidney cancers that are less than 4 cm (less than 1 3/4 inches). The procedure itself is technically demanding. However, in the hands of an experienced laparoscopic surgeon, the majority of small renal masses can be managed with a laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. While there are no strict age criteria, young and healthy patients with small renal masses are excellent candidates for laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.
In the hands of a laparoscopic expert, the cancer control ("negative margin" rates or complete removal of cancer) are the same as with open partial nephrectomy. As such, most patients who are candidates for open partial nephrectomy can have their procedures done laparoscopically, and therefore benefit from the advantages of a minimally invasive approach (less bleeding, less pain and faster recovery).
Tumor location is somewhat important in deciding between surgical options for kidney cancer. Patients with kidney cancers located very close to the middle of the kidney may be better candidates for open partial nephrectomy or radical nephrectomy.
DaVinci® robotic laparoscopic partial nephrectomy has the advantages intrinsic to any procedure in which the cancer is completely removed. After the procedure, an experienced pathologist can carefully review the kidney cancer that has been removed to confirm that all the cancer cells have been extracted. Additionally, even though laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is a relatively new procedure, it is identical in nature to open partial nephrectomy in which long-term results for cancer control have been excellent.
As the DaVinci® robotic laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, by definition, uses a laparoscopic approach, patients get all the benefits of a minimally invasive procedure. Blood loss is significantly less with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy compared to open partial nephrectomy. Pain is also significantly less with DaVinci® robotic laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. The decreased blood loss, pain, and trauma to the body also result in faster overall recovery from the operation. With l DaVinci® robotic laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, patients return to full activity in less than half the time it takes to recover from open partial nephrectomy.
As DaVinci® robotic laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is a very technically challenging operation, it is not offered at many centers. A disadvantage of the procedure is that only few doctors offer this procedure to their patients. Additionally, the application of the robot in the setting of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is new and comparison to other treatment modalities is just beginning. Overall, the robotic technology seems to be a wonderful adjunct to an experienced surgeon who is familiar with kidney cancer as a disease and laparoscopic anatomy and technique.
Pathology Results
The tissue that is removed during the DaVinci® robotic laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is evaluated on the day of surgery to determine that the kidney cancer has been completely removed. This evaluation is done with a technique called "frozen section", which is useful for determination of the adequacy of the surgery. However, the "final pathology" is established approximately one week after surgery when the pathologist has had the proper time to "fix" (preserve) the specimen, prepare slides, and evaluate the tissue under the microscope. The "final pathology" reveals the type of kidney cancer that has been treated and also gives the final confirmation of a "negative margin" (total removal of all of the kidney cancer). Your surgeon will usually call you at home with these results approximately one week after surgery.
Activity After Surgery
While patients will typically be able to do routine activities such as eating and taking care of everyday needs, it is generally suggested that no heavy lifting or vigorous activity be performed for four to six weeks to allow the body to recover. While it is surgeon dependent, most surgeons will suggest only light lifting (less than 10lbs), gentle activity, and no driving for one to two weeks after surgery. It is typical for patients to feel drained or lack energy for several weeks after surgery, and complete and full return to activity will usually take four to six weeks. However, every patient is different and recovery is somewhat variable. Generally, the patient will feel better day by day.
Wound Care and Bandages
With laparoscopy, wound care is generally very easy. The dressings (bandages) are usually removed by the patient at home the second day after surgery. Under the bandages there are small pieces of surgical tape. Once these start to peel off on their own, the patient may remove them. Removing the tape in the shower may be helpful and the adhesive will soften and allow the tape to be removed gently and without pain. Under the tape are the small wounds. The stiches are below the skin and do not have to be removed as they absorb by themselves.
Swimming and bathing in a tub should not be done for one week after surgery, but showering is usually permitted any time after the second day after surgery. The shower should be with regular soap and water. An effort should be made not to allow the shower to directly hit the wounds for the first several days. The wounds should be cleaned with a dry and clean towel and left uncovered. A small amount of oozing is possible for the first few days after surgery, and a clean gauze with surgical tape can be used to keep clothing dry. However, if there is any significant leakage from the wound or if the would should become red, hot, tender, or swollen, you should contact your doctor immediately.
Follow-Up Visit
Your doctor will typically call with the biopsy results one week after the surgery has been performed. A follow-up visit with the surgeon is usually scheduled approximately four weeks after the procedure has been done. At the follow-up visit wounds are checked and follow-up radiographic imaging is scheduled. Typically, an MRI or CT scan is scheduled for six months after the procedure has been performed. Depending on the final pathology report, which establishes the type of cancer that was removed, a future follow-up regimen is then established.

Brief Synopsis
Naval officers begin to suspect their captain of insanity.
In 1944, at his officer training graduation, Ensign Willie Keith attempts to keep his wealthy, clingy mother from learning of his serious involvement with nightclub singer May Wynn. Disappointed, May does not see Willie off as he sails from San Francisco to the naval base at Pearl Harbor. Upon arriving in Hawaii, Willie reports to his assigned ship, the U.S.S. Caine , a beat-up, destroyer-mine sweeper, and meets cynical novelist Lt. Tom Keefer, the sober executive officer, Lt. Steve Maryk and another newcomer, Ensign Harding. Willie is unable to conceal his disappointment in the casual Capt. DeVriess and the dilapidated Caine , yet he nevertheless refuses a transfer arranged by his mother and grudgingly settles down to months of drilling of the clumsy, unkempt crew. When DeVriess is transferred, Willie anticipates the arrival of the new commanding officer, Capt. Francis Philip Queeg, coming off two years of combat duty in the Atlantic. Although mystified by the crew's sentimental send-off of DeVriess, Willie is pleased with Queeg's brisk, if peculiar, manner. Queeg appoints Willie morale officer and immediately orders the Caine thoroughly cleaned up. A few days later, after a standard target practice exercise, Willie is summoned to the bridge to be reproached by the captain for not punishing a disheveled sailor. Queeg becomes so engrossed in the reprimand that the Caine steams undirected in a circle, severing its target tow-line. The incident results in the Caine being summoned back to San Francisco, where Willie goes to see May and presents her to his anxious mother. Willie takes May to Yosemite and proposes, but May refuses, claiming that Willie is still too concerned about his mother's opinions. Shortly after returning to sea, the Caine is ordered to escort assault teams to enemy-held beaches, but during the first mission, Steve is forced to take temporary command when Queeg is inexplicably absent. When the captain finally arrives, he grows anxious at the enemy shelling and alarmed as Steve slows the ship to protect the smaller landing craft. Queeg orders the Caine to drop its yellow dye marker to indicate the landing zone, then to retreat to open sea. Willie is perplexed by the captain's behavior, while Tom makes sarcastic comments about Queeg's bravery. Later, Steve sternly rebukes several officers, including Tom, Willie and Harding, for making up a song, "Yellowstain Blues," which besmirches Queeg. Willie is bitterly disappointed by Queeg's character lapse, but neither he nor any of the officers respond when Queeg makes a thinly veiled request for support. When Tom observes that Queeg's eccentric mannerisms and increasingly irrational behavior indicates that he is mentally unsound, Steve demands that he take the charge to the medical officer, but Tom refuses. Disturbed by Tom's suggestion, however, Steve gets a book on mental illness from the ship's library and begins keeping a log of Queeg's escalating erratic behavior, which has begun to sap the crew's morale. Late one night, Queeg summons all the officers to begin an investigation of the disappearance of a gallon of strawberries from the mess. When the lengthy inquiry extends to searching each crew member for a duplicate mess key that Queeg is certain must have been used in the theft, Tom reiterates his challenge of Queeg's mental soundness and suggests Steve consider relieving the captain according to Navy regulations. Steve is further upset when Harding, who must leave the ship to attend his seriously ill wife, reveals that he witnessed the mess boys eating the strawberries and reported the incident to Queeg, but the captain threatened to cancel Harding's emergency leave if he repeated the story. Steve then asks Tom and Willie to accompany him to fleet commander Admiral Halsey to seek advice. On board Halsey's carrier, Tom reconsiders, cautioning Steve that he may ruin his career by accusing Queeg. Uncertain, Steve acquiesces and the men return to the Caine . The fleet is then ordered out to sea into a strong storm, during which Queeg risks capsizing the Caine by stubbornly maintaining the ordered course, despite Steve's pleas to turn the ship. When Queeg appears terrified by the violent pitching of the ship, Steve, fearful for the ship's safety, relieves him of command using the Navy code. Willie supports Steve, and Queeg's order for their arrest is ignored by the other officers. Some time later, in San Francisco, May telephones her support to Willie, as he and Steve are brought up for court-martial. Cynical Lt. Barney Greenwald is the only lawyer who grudgingly accepts Willie and Steve's case. At the trial the prosecution is led by Lt. Cmdr. Challee, who establishes Willie's naval inexperience and gradual loathing of Queeg. Testimony offered by other sailors reveals only that Queeg was a demanding, driven commander. Under questioning, Tom admits that he was not present at many of Queeg's supposed displays of unstable behavior and lies that he had not suggested to Steve that Queeg might be mentally unfit. Tom then goes on to say that he does not believe Steve's log holds enough information to justify the mutiny. A naval psychiatrist asserts that Queeg is not mentally ill, but under Barney's probing admits that the captain suffers from deep paranoia due to long and arduous combat duty. When Queeg takes the stand, he severely criticizes Steve, yet is unable to explain his earlier positive written evaluation of his executive officer. Barney brings up the tow-line and dye stain incidents, but Queeg insists his officers were disloyal and unsupportive. Queeg grows increasingly agitated when Barney mentions the missing strawberries and when Harding's name is brought up, the captain takes up his nervous habit of rolling metal balls in his hand and launches into a lengthy, rambling defense. In the face of Queeg's obvious instability, Steve and Willie are acquitted. Afterward, during the celebration with the Caine 's officers, a drunken Barney chastises them for not supporting Queeg and for putting the ship in danger by their recklessness. The men are startled when Barney accuses Tom of being the true instigator of the Caine mutiny. Soon after, Willie and May marry and, upon returning from their honeymoon, Willie reports to his new ship to discover, with a sense of relief, that his commanding officer is DeVriess.

With this tutorial you can set up your own Hadoop environment using virtual machines. To get started download and install VirtualBox .
Next you will need to get the centos virtual image. Once downloaded create a directory on the root of your drive called VMs and unzip the contents of the centos zip file to the VMs directory.
In VirtualBox, you will need to create a new virtual machine. Choose Linux from type and then Red Hat 64-bit from version. You need to allocate 2048Mb memory and for the Hard Disk choose use an existing virtual hard disk file and navigate to the centos image directory in the VMs directory. Choose the vmdk file whose filename does not end with a number. Once you have done that the machine is ready to start up.
Next is to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions which gives you better performance amongst other enhancement. Before you install Guest Additions, run the following install commands to prepare for the installation
# yum update
# yum install gcc
# yum install kernel-devel
# yum install bzip2
# shutdown -r 00
If you need to return the cursor to Windows press the host key which is the right Ctrl key by default. Choose devices from the VirtualBox menu and choose Insert Guest Additions CD Image. Follow the prompts to install. Restart the virtual machine for the changes to take effect.
Installing Apache BigTop
BigTop is ideal for learning Big Data components like Hadoop. Lets get started with the installation.
First get the repo file which points to the download of Hadoop and it's dependencies.
wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/bigtop.repo \ http://www.apache.org/dist/bigtop/bigtop-1.0.0/repos/centos6/bigtop.repo
Next is to select and install the Hadoop components
yum install hadoop\* mahout\* oozie\* hbase\* hive\* hue\* pig\* zookeeper\*
Choose yes for the code signing prompts. Once Hadoop and the selected components is installed the next step is to configure Hadoop. After the configuration Hadoop will be ready to start.

SCAF knows it is in deep trouble , really deep trouble and it needs to get out of it for the sake of the army yet amazingly they did not get out this trouble with this presser if they did not go deeper and deeper.
Today we were introduced to another member in SCAF : Major General Adel Amara , I do not know anything about him except that the minister of defense's aide. It is not the first time he appears in the media as he spoke before in a public conference in North Sinai with the locals there.
Major General Mohamed Hegazy accompanied Amara in the press conference. Hegazy is considered from the moderate voices in SCAF when it comes to media compared for instance to Mamdouh Shahin , still he was not that moderate in the press conference despite his introduction.
The introduction of the Hegazy was quite impressive on how every human in Egypt is considered an Egyptian regardless of his religion or race or gender and the armed forces are owned by the Egyptian people and are from the Egyptian people. Amara also hinted to the fact all army officers learn in the war school that the first martyr from the armed forces in the October 1973 war is Shafik Matri. I forgot to say that they expressed their condolences to the martyrs and the injured at the beginning of the press conference.
It was nice start but introduction was something and the core of the subject is another thing.
In nutshell :
- The major generals accused Christian priests along with George Isahak of igniting hatred and violence. They showed videos for Isahak's call to some TV show as well the videos of Priests Flopateer and Matis. Priest Flopateer's clip showed him calling for occupying Maspero which the major generals considered as open invitation to occupy a very extreme vital building "He denied in Night Talk shows claiming that he meant people should have a sit only at the area in front of Maspero". Priest Matis' clips were the worst of all because the man clearly threatened the governor of Aswan with horrible death if he does not resign in 48 hours as well demands " To be honest Isahak is a nervous man but if we are going to speak about sectarian problems in Egypt now those two priests have to shut up just like radical Sheikhs , needless to say I feel bringing up these videos now will increase the sectarian sensitivity resulted from that black night."
- 300 Military police soldier and officers were securing Maspero building without live ammunition , only armed with riots gear. Maspero is from the top vital buildings in Egypt and any threat to storm or occupy the National TV building , SCAF takes it seriously. "Do you hear that #OccupyMaspero tweeps !?"
- The protest from Shubra was peaceful till 6:45 PM , before that there were 700 protesters at Maspero protesting peacefully. "FYI this was the only protest authorized by MOI in Egypt since the revolution according to what I have found today"
- At 6:45 PM the clashes started and the protesters "according to the Major Generals" attacked the military police with sticks , Molotov cocktails and rocks.
- According to the major generals the army vehicle did not crush the protester intentionally but actually the soldiers inside the vehicle were freaked out after they were attacked by rocks and the driver found the other soldiers injured could not know what he was doing !! "What they are going to do in war !?"
- The major generals showed video footage from TV channels including Egyptian National TV , German TV , Al Hayat TV to show how the military police was attacked by the protesters.
- There was a footage showing a bloody injured solider
- Another footage for an army vehicle hitting another army jeep to the confusion.
- They showed a photo to show that live ammunition was not fired from the military police's side , that photo was from a lamppost in Maspero showing a bullet in it. The direction of the bullet is from October 6 bridge to Maspero.
- For the record Hegazy did not confirm or deny that there is a third party involved in the protest.
- They did not speak nor were asked about why the military police stormed 25TV and Al Hurra TV.
- They refused to disclose the number of victims among the military police so it will not affect the morale of the forces and create sensitivity among troops. "This is something we understand in time of war but we are not in war and some people do not believe that , we have to know the truth because they do have families"
- Only few reporters were allowed to ask questions and most of them are somehow biased to SCAF like Mahmoud Bakry "Mustafa Bakry's brother as well as the military reporter in Rosa Al Youssef" and did not ask real questions except the BBC Arabic service journalist as well the Australian TV reporter who asked the best question ever.
Who killed those protesters ? If it is not the army , then is this an intelligence failure or security failure !? Is not this a failure to your promise to protect the people.The answer of Hegazy was
We do not know who killed those protesters , we are investigating the matter. It is a failure. It is the responsibility of the protests' organizers to protect the protests.
- SCAF is investigating the matter in military judiciary along with public prosecutors.
- The major generals believe that it is an attempt to sabotage the democratic transfer in Egypt.
- They also believe in foreign conspiracies.
Ismail Etman praised the coverage of the Egyptian TV , of course he said that and the reporters and journalists went ballistic especially a fantastic lady that stood up to Etman , Ms. Rawya Rageh of Al Jazeera international. Rawya Rageh reminded the head of morale department with how the Egyptian TV incited hate towards Christians. The Major General and his aides quickly clarified that he meant only the live footage transmission and that he did meant the editorial policy which SCAF does not interfere in.
This press conference was defensive one indeed in the worst way ever because it did not solve anything.
I hoped that the major generals are sorry for the injured among the civilians and announcing that they are going to treat them on their expense , I hoped that they considered the victims of civilians martyrs like the armed forces' martyrs. Of course the military mindset is hard to admit its mistakes and sins.
It is not about safe exist anymore , it is about a true national security for a country like Egypt.
Tomorrow the revolution youth coalition will hold a press conference with the victims' testimonies to fire back at SCAF's presser
Photos tomorrow insh Allah.
Update :
Here are the photos from the press conference
Now on Thursday the victims of the families of the martyrs as well as the eye witnesses held a press conference to tell their own version of the story : The military police shot at unarmed protesters. It is a must read in order to have a full image.
Despite Pope Shnouda III and the Orthodox Church believed there was a third party involved in the clashes , he said last Wednesday in his weekly sermon that the Christian protesters were not armed and if they were armed they were have been spotted in the rally from Shubra to Masper. The pope insisted that he will not let down the blood of the martyrs.
Today also SCAF issued another statement after a meeting with the Prime minister who visited the Pope in the morning as well.
SCAF again presents its condolences to the victims' families and sooner the houses of worship legalizing law will be issued

New Yorkers can now plan their subway journeys in a way that'll allow them to minimize the amount of time they spend on the platform, so on a sweltering hot summer day they'll be able to make their way from air-conditioned coffee shop to air-conditioned subway car without breaking a sweat – in theory, at least.
It's been made possible by the Mass Transit Authority's launch of its new (beta) Subway Time app for iOS devices that enables users to see the minute-by-minute arrival times of trains before heading into the subterranean depths of the sprawling network.
MTA chairman and CEO Joseph J. Lhota spoke of the new app in somewhat grandiose terms, despite the fact that it currently only covers lines 1 through 6 (as well as the S 42nd Street Shuttle) – that means information is only available for 156 of the network's 468 stations.
"Today is the day that generations of dreamers and futurists have waited for. The ability to get subway arrival time at street level is here." Lhota said in a release 0ver the weekend.
He continued, "The days of rushing to a subway station only to find yourself waiting motionless in a state of uncertainty are coming to an end. Now, you can know from the comfort of your home or office whether to hasten to the station, or grab a cup of coffee as part of a leisurely walk."
The MTA said it is providing a free live stream of all arrival-time data to third-party developers "who can develop innovative ways of using that information to better serve customers on a variety of devices," so expect an Android version before too long.
In fact, looking at its clunky interface (it's not even optimized for the iPhone 5's display so has black bars top and bottom) and lack of station coverage, it's pretty obvious the MTA just wanted to launch something, anything, to get the word out about the free live stream data, encouraging other developers to put in the graft and come up with something altogether more pleasing to use.
2.5 stars
At the time of writing, the app has an average 2.5-star rating in the app store. "Come on guys, hire some talent and get it right first time," writes one user in the review section.
"Laughable. Worst app design/usability experience you'll probably ever see," says another.
Among the mostly one- and two-star reviews, there were a few users looking at the offering a little more positively. "This app has a ton of potential," said one reviewer who gave it a generous five stars. "Very good introductory release. Also nice to see the MTA working on something innovative."

Wyoming was the first U.S. territory and subsequently the first state to legislate women full rights to vote and hold office. In 1869 the territory approved universal adult female suffrage. Cheyenne is the state's capitol city.
Women voting in Cheyenne made news
in Frank Leslie's Weekly, 1888.
Wyoming was a pioneer in votes for women, followed by other Western states and territories. Here the west provides a beacon for eastern women, who are drowning in a sea of powerlessness.
Women's suffrage came first to the Western states for many reasons. It may be that pioneers settling a new territory are more innovative by nature. Frontier communities usually have few women so perhaps the ruling men perceive their voting bloc as less of a threat. Wyoming, still the most sparsely populated state, was hoping to attract more female settlers. "We now expect at once quite an immigration of ladies to Wyoming," cheered the Cheyenne Leader.
Esther Hobart Morris (1814-1902)
Inspired by a gold rush, Esther Hobart Morris came to Wyoming from Illinois in 1869 with her husband. Like many other suffrage pioneers she'd learned techniques of reform politics through involvement in the antislavery movement. She effectively lobbied the legislature in Cheyenne with the strategy of attracting female settlement with the promise of equal opportunity.
In 1870 Esther Morris was appointed to a minor government job in the gold-mining town of South Pass City. This post as female justice of the peace was considered the first government position by a woman (although one has always to be wary of "firsts").
Wyoming achieved a truly documentable first when Nellie Tayloe Ross became the first female governor in 1925.*
(*Although there is an asterisk here---she was appointed to the office after her husband died in the job. She lost the re-election campaign a year later when she ran on her own.)
Cheyenne by Georgann Eglinski
Cheyenne by Becky Brown
Cheyenne, given that name by Hearth and Home magazine about a hundred years ago, can remind us of Wyoming's firsts.

text: Prospects Men fall to Seattle May 31, 200812:00AM PDT Previous Next Vancouver Whitecaps Prospects Men suffered a 4-0 home defeat to Seattle Wolves in Pacific Coast Soccer League action at Simon Fraser University on Saturday. The Wolves wasted no time going for the jugular against the young Whitecaps, who are still looking for their first PCSL win. Just three minutes in, Clay Walton-House turned well at the top of the area before playing it square on the left to Santa Maria Rivera, and he fired the visitors into an early lead. The visiting Wolves then hit the outside of the post ten minutes later before Seattle defender Dave O'Neill blasted a shot off the underside of the crossbar following a corner kick on the quarter-hour mark. Seattle's pressure soon paid off, as on 19 minutes, a Whitecaps turnover gave the Wolves a chance. While one Wolves attacker mis-hit his shot at the top of the area, the ball ran to Mark Williams on the left, and he fired home from a sharp angle for 2-0. At the other end, on 23 minutes, Gavin Barrett unleashed a good shot to the bottom right corner to force a diving save from Seattle goalkeeper Sean Conlan. Five minutes later, Conlan made another stop off Riley Newport, but Seattle came right back on the counter-attack and scored to make it 3-0. A long ball forward was chased by Rivera, and bounced just at the edge of the Whitecaps goal area where goalkeeper Michael Branion-Calles collided with a defender. The mix-up left Rivera an empty net to score his second of the game for 3-0. The Whitecaps had more of the play in the second half, but couldn't find a way past Conlan in the Seattle goal. Substitute Brayden Gant had a great chance just minutes after the restart when he found himself face-to-face with the keeper in front of the Seattle net, but the bouncing ball wouldn't sit for him, and he couldn't get a good shot off. On the hour mark, Whitecaps forward Gavin Barrett did well to spin and shoot, but he sent his effort over the Wolves crossbar. Whitecaps head coach Bart Choufour brought on substitute goalkeeper Matt Robinson soon after, and on minute 75, he made an outstanding diving save to deny Seattle's Ian Walsh. However, Robinson could do nothing to prevent a fourth Seattle goal with two minutes remaining. The Vancouver defence was stretched, as Williams fired a deep cross to the far post. Several players climbed for the header, but the ball found its way over the goal-line on its own, giving Williams his second goal of the game to close out the scoring. The Prospects Men drop to 0-4-0 in the PCSL Premier Division standings, while Seattle improve to 2-2-1. These two teams have no time to rest, as they now head down Interstate 5 for Sunday's rematch at the Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila, Washington.

The post graduate degree job hunt varies widely across the disciplines. The process for securing a job with an MBA will look much different than hunting for an academic home for your PhD. While excellent programs and professors will provide support and will help you make connections, the job hunt can be lengthy, tiresome and lonesome, and so it pays to start preparing as early as possible. In this section, you'll find resources that are relevant for every stage of the process, from finding relevant job openings to landing that final interview.
- Scholarly Pursuits: A Guide To Professional Development During the Graduate Years
At 208 pages, this book by Cynthia Verba, longstanding director of fellowships at Harvard University, is the definitive guide to landing a job after the degree, a process that starts from your very first year as a graduate student. Along with her extensive examination of the graduate experience -- and, notably, tips for thriving throughout it -- she offers resources for publishing, advice on applying to doctoral programs and a guide to securing a tenure track teaching position within your discipline. Though the book was written in the 1980s, it is now in its 12th edition and has been updated considerably, with an increased focused on professional development throughout your graduate career to address the difficulties of an increasingly competitive academic job market.
- Landing an Academic Job
Written by Jonathan Dantzig, Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the advice here is particularly compelling, as it is offers the perspective of a professor who has sat on many hiring boards and knows firsthand which small mistakes most often get in a candidate's way in a competitive job market. In 29 pages, Dantzig outlines the role of a professor in academia, offers tips on securing and nailing an interview, performing well in your seminar, and negotiating the details of a job offer. Examples curriculum vitae are provided, along with sample application letters, interview itineraries, and offer letters. While the advice here is easily applied to other disciplines, you might also want to take a look at a similar resource provided by the Career Center at UCSD: The Academic Job Search: A Survival Guide.
- How to Write a Statement of Teaching Philosophy
If you plan on staying in academia, then teaching will be a big part of what you do -- yes, even if your interests lie primarily in research. As such, it is important to demonstrate to hiring committees just how passionate you are about instruction with a detailed yet globally focused teaching philosophy that articulates a clear understanding of the profession you are entering. With this resource, you'll learn not only how to do this but also how to make your teaching philosophy distinctive while keeping it short and to the point.
- Networking Tips for Graduate Students
"Networking" may seem like more of a business school buzzword, but it's just as important for PhD students as it is the MBA candidate (plenty of resources are available for the latter with a simple Google search). In this article written by a biology PhD candidate, you'll find a number of excellent tips for getting over your fears and starting conversations, whether at conferences, guest lectures, or coffee meetings. While the tips are spot on, it's the personal perspective that really makes this resource helpful, from one PhD student to another.
- Non-Academic Career Options for PhDs in the Humanities and Social Sciences
At the end of 7 years in higher academia, some PhD candidates won't want to leave; others will run as far away as possible. If you are in the latter camp, your PhD qualifies you to do a number of outside jobs, explored in this resource put out by the Columbia University Center for Education. From research and writing roles to administrative positions,and jobs in public and international affairs, the site covers the gamut, and just might open your eyes to a new exciting route. Links to major job databases are helpfully provided in each section.
- Preparing for Academic Interviews
As with any job search, interviews are make or break for any candidate. But in academia the process is particularly intense, often involving a long flight to the school and a long day -- or several days -- of interviews as well as seminar teaching with many different members of the faculty. In this resource put out by the NIH, you'll find a number of questions to ask yourself as you prepare, including inquiries about your research, teaching style, possible contributions to the department and long term career goals. The guide also suggests a few questions you can (and should) ask in return.
- PhDs - The Transition From Graduate Student to Assistant Professor
While your graduate teaching assistantship may have done a lot to prepare you for life as a professor, there are still many differences to account for. In this article on the University of California Berkeley Career Center site, you'll find tips for navigating teaching, research, and the tenure process.There is also a good review of the types of positions available, and advice on contributing regularly to the department as a whole.
- The Challenges and Opportunities of the Adjunct World
As you begin your faculty career, chances are you will spend some time adjuncting. Low pay, lack of benefits and heavy teaching loads can make this a stressful time in your life, but it is often an essential part of resume building -- and you may even like it. This article penned by a current adjunct demonstrates how you can make the best of adjuncting. For a counter perspective, we recommend reading Cultural Capital Doesn't Pay the Rent. Together, these resources will help you decide for yourself whether adjuncting is a path you're excited to head down, or you'd rather hunt for positions outside of academia.
- Preparing Yourself for the Tenure Process
Getting ready for the tenure process starts early, especially if you want to secure it sooner rather than later. In this article, two seasoned professors recommend a number of tips, like knowing the requirements, educating your colleagues on just what it is you do, participating in the life of the department, and benchmarking your progress. Links to charting, career planning and time management worksheets are also provided to get you going.

The Gear for Rainier
Kit: Climbing Mount Rainier
Polarfleece jackets and hiking boots may come in handy around the windswept concrete canyons of Manhattan or Minneapolis during the winter, but there is still no better proving ground for outdoor gear than the mountains. There, not only can weather change in minutes, going from lukewarm sun to horizontal blowing snow, but the consequences of failing gear can be serious, and there are no Starbucks to duck into when things get nasty. It's no wonder all the big outdoor brands' catalogs use glossy images of climbers fighting the elements on some godforsaken slab of rock.
To take on our recent ascent of Mount Rainier, we rounded up some of the latest and greatest mountaineering gear. And after two days, 9,000 vertical feet of climbing and weather that ranged from downright scorching to subzero wind chills, we've got a thing or two to say about each piece. So whether or not you plan to use any of this gear in your urban, or more rustic, adventures, you can be assured we've put it all through rigorous testing in a worse place. Just don't take an ice axe on the subway.

I used some leftover turkey to make this delicious soup. I followed the recipe exactly except I used about 1 1/2 cups turkey instead of just one cup. Next time I make it I think I'll add some rinsed and drained kidney beans or garbanzo beans. This is a wonderful brothy soup .... five stars for sure!
Jan 16, 2017
This was very good. I used normandy blend frozen veggies and a mixed frozen veggies just because it was what I had on hand and half a can of green beans as well. Didn't have the zucchini. Despite all of this it turned out very yummy!

Excellent soup! Thank you "nataliepooh" for the broth recipe--it's really good!
Jan 16, 2014
This soup is very good! Even my young daughter enjoyed it! I used canned vegetables instead of frozen, but the soup had plenty of flavor. It's great for a chilly night! I'll be making this one again!
Jan 20, 2012
I like a lot of veggies so I added the kidney beans AND garbanzo beans. I used canned chicken broth (I had cooked the turkey before I got this recipe and the juice was long gone) and it was still delicious! With a loaf of home made bread, a great way to use leftover turkey.
Jul 10, 2010
I submitted this recipe, and TOH did not include my recipe for homemade turkey stock, which is really what makes this soup so good. I boil a turkey carcass with 4 C water, 2 carrots, 2 celery, 1 onion, 1 lg. clove garlic, 1 parsley sprig, 1 bay leaf, 2 t. dried basil and 1 t. dried thyme. Boil until meat falls off bones, then strain and use in minestrone.
Feb 22, 2009
I was disappointed, not much flavor when I followed the recipe. Added some hot sauce and some canned tomato soup along with additional seasoning and it helped some.
Apr 10, 2008
This was excellent. I used homemade turkey stock and I think that is the key to this recipe turning out so well. Next time I will add more noodles than called for.

At Adobe, what you do and how you do it are equally important. The Founders' Award gives employees the chance to recognize their peers for exceptional values.
The chance to create revolutionary technology is no small reason to launch a career at Adobe. But if you ask employees what makes Adobe a special place to work, you're just as likely to hear another sentiment: It's the people.
When Adobe founders John Warnock and Chuck Geschke set out to define the company in 1982, they spent a good deal of time establishing the company culture.
"In the beginning, John and Chuck would make a point of actually being at new employee orientations to talk to new hires about their values," says Zak W., a computer scientist and 26-year veteran of Adobe. "Now those values are pervasive in the culture."
Adobe characterizes those values as genuine, exceptional, innovative, and involved. Each year, the Founders' Award recognizes employees who best demonstrate those values —and the award is considered the company's highest honor.
The best part? Employees themselves determine who receives it. Each year, hundreds of employees submit nominations for their peers, and the executive team and former Founders' Award recipients review every nomination before determining the winners.
Meet a few of the past winners and learn what Adobe values mean to them.
Computer scientist • Seattle, Washington, USA • 26 years at Adobe
What do you love about working at Adobe?
"I love that Adobe is working to maintain the culture that John and Chuck created. It makes me think of my father, who owned his own business for 45 years. The values he held are the ones that John and Chuck hold — inventiveness and intensity. I feel honored to work here."
How do you think Adobe lives out its values?
"We go to great lengths to make sure we're doing the right thing for the customer. That started in the beginning. For example, John, one of the founders, used every Adobe product up until he retired. I got bug reports written by John on tech features in InDesign®. To have that level of involvement all the way up to the former CEO — that tells you something."
Why Adobe employees value Zak
"I've never seen Zak act with anything but the utmost honesty and integrity," said one co-worker who nominated Zak. "It actually feels odd to even write that because Zak's honesty and integrity are so obvious that I never think about it."
Senior manager • Noida, India • 8 years at Adobe
What makes Adobe different from other companies?
"Adobe rewards people for living with integrity. Because of that, we can just focus on our work instead of worrying about other things."
How do you think Adobe lives out its values?
"The nickname I have for Adobe is 'A Dream Organization for Brilliant Engineers.' That's because Adobe really cares for its people. They help people grow beyond their daily tasks through training programs and volunteer opportunities. We aren't just coming here to work — we're building our careers."
Why Adobe employees value Rekha
"While volunteering to help others, Rekha makes sure that she is giving enough space so we have a great team environment," said one co-worker who nominated Rekha. "She has great listening skills, which is a great leadership trait."
Computer scientist • Edinburgh, Scotland • 16 years at Adobe
What was it like to win the Founders' Award?
"When I won the award, Adobe flew me to the United States to have dinner with the Adobe founders and the rest of the winners. I got to personally hear the story of the invention of PostScript® and Acrobat®. It was amazing for me to be in the presence of people who've been a part of paradigm-shifting technology."
How do you think Adobe lives out its values?
"There's a very strong team ethos in terms of solving problems for customers. When there's a hard technical problem, Adobe encourages collaboration and knowledge sharing, and that enables people to bring their best to the table."
Why Adobe employees value Seoras
"Seoras is extremely creative and regularly seems to find solutions to unsolvable problems," said one co-worker who nominated Seoras.

At least one person has died and seven injured in double blasts in Somalia's capital of Mogadishu on Friday, police said.A bomber blew himself up inside a popular seafront restaurant and another bomb exploded at its entrance.
Last month, a blast ripped through the same area, killing a security guard. That swath of the city is frequented by foreigners. Somalia and its capital have long been engulfed in civil strife between a weak government and Islamist militants.
