Arizona Diamondbacks manager Gibson: If Brandon McCarthy wanted to throw the cutter, he should have thrown the cutter
Perhaps it will soon be known as "Cutter-Gate."
Or, maybe, this is a non-story that will run out of steam soon enough.
At any rate, ever since former Diamondback Brandon McCarthy attributed a strong start with the Yankees in which he allowed just one run on six hits with nine strikeouts in a win over the Cincinnati Reds to his throwing a cutter, which he claimed the D-backs wouldn't let him use, discussion has run rampant about what exactly was going on in the desert.
Was McCarthy, who struggled to a 3-10 record with a 5.01 ERA this season before being sent to New York, making an excuse and looking for someone to blame? Or was he just being honest in saying the Diamondbacks, who don't exactly have the best reputation when it comes to getting the most out of pitchers these days, negatively impacted his performance?
A guest of Burns and Gambo on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Tuesday, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said he does not view McCarthy as throwing him or the organization under the bus and he's not offended by his former player's comments.
That said, if the right-hander wasn't using his cutter it was not because of any directive handed down by the skipper or anyone else with the team.
"We were aware of his cutter, and I can tell you we did not tell him he could not throw his cutter," Gibson said. "We did point out what was happening with his cutter on several occasions."
What was happening with his cutter, which according to BrooksBaseball.net he threw just 10.34 percent of the time this season, was that opponents hit .310 off the pitch, with a slugging percentage of .643. In the 169 cutters McCarthy threw as a Diamondback this season, seven resulted in strikeouts, seven led to singles, two resulted in doubles and four ended up leaving the park as home runs.
Needless to say it was not his best pitch, though McCarthy did say the team instead wanted him to throw more sinkers, which apparently were even less effective than his cutter.
Regardless, the assertion from McCarthy that the team essentially removed a pitch from his arsenal, especially one that makes him a better pitcher, may not exactly be on point.
"We point out what's working and what's not working, (and) the numbers kind of bare that out," Gibson said. "The pitcher, let me just say this about any pitcher that's on the mound, it's ultimately their responsibility to shake and go to what pitch they want to throw.
"They have that power out there and if he wants to shake and he wants to go with it, he can throw that pitch."

The Age of Imperialism
Trends and Themes of the Era
- American industrialization created a need for foreign markets in which to sell manufactured goods and from which to buy raw materials.
- Early efforts to find foreign markets involved economic expansionism, which focused on opening markets through investment rather than military involvement. Under President McKinley, near the end of the nineteenth century, the United States wanted to increase its exposure in foreign markets and shifted to a more militaristic and imperialist policy.
- Victory in the Spanish-American War gave the U.S. an empire, and also marked the ascendance of the U.S. as a world power.

Brassens et la Femme
- List.co.uk
- 10 August 2006
This article is from 2006.
Say what you like about the French but they have one of the most beautiful languages in the world - and the most elegant women. Put them together to music and you have Brassens et la Femme. This French song and dance number is a fantastic addition to the Edinburgh Festival. My French is a little rusty, but if you let the music and singing envelope you then you will have a great time. The narrative can be a little difficult to follow as it is set around the songs of Brassens and not his life. However, the staging is perfect, with the gothic archways of the Roxy Art House providing the backdrop for the dramatic events that unfold. There is not a weak link in the cast, who perform non-stop for over an hour. A special mention should also go to the pianist who equally plays throughout. The only sad fact is that not enough people were in the theatre to enjoy it. With great performances and songs that make you tap your feet (even if your don't know what they are saying) this is a must see show. So go and see! (Michael Plant)
Rocket@Demarco Roxy Art House, until 20 Aug, 1pm

Cold humidifiers, also known as cool mist humidifiers, are very popular with parents. When you're seriously considering making a purchase of one, you should know that there are three different types to choose from. Knowing something about each of them may help you decide which one you should get.
First, there is the ultrasonic humidifier. This one makes a cool mist through vibrations. It's not the most popular humidifier because of the white it leaves behind. The evaporative humidifier transmits moisture into the air through a fan. Last, and the most well-known, is the impeller humidifier. This one works by throwing water at a diffuser that breaks it into miniscule droplets that enter the air.
Many people prefer cold humidifiers over the warm mist humidifiers due to the safety factor with children. Sometimes the steam from the warm mist humidifiers can burn a child. With the cold humidifiers, a child cannot be harmed by the cool mist they put out.
Besides the safety factor, it's also energy efficient. A warm mist humidifier uses energy to boil the water for the steam. Cold humidifiers just use electricity to fan the water. The biggest problem with cold humidifiers is that, because there's no heat, the water in the tank can breed dangerous bacteria. It was found by the Consumer Product Safety Commission that ultrasonic and impeller humidifiers can put harmful minerals and microorganisms into the air. If these are breathed in, it can result in serious lung infections.
You can prevent any of this, though, by cleaning the cold humidifier as the manufacturer instructs. Clean the tank each day with soap and water by emptying the tank and adding a small bit of soap and water. Wash the whole tank, rinse it well, and refill it for use.
You should always use distilled water only in the tank. There are too many minerals in tap water that need filtering out. Cold humidifiers don't filter minerals from the water because they don't use heat. These minerals can also cause breathing issues.
As too much moisture can lead to problems, cold humidifiers should be used only when needed. Monitor your home with a hygrometer to keep the moisture at 30 to 50 percent. Check also dehumidifiers types if you need one.

Brocade gear is powering a cutting-edge network that supports IPv6, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and 100 Gigabit Ethernet for the U.S. Army at Fort Carson in Colorado.
The new network, which serves the 137,000-acre military base, was installed by General Dynamics, which said the four-year project cost $6 million. The piece of the network that provides non-secure Internet access -- dubbed NIPRNET in military terms -- runs on Brocade equipment.
BACKGROUND: U.S. military strong-arming IT industry on IPv6
The Army required that Brocade's routers support IPv4, the current version of the Internet Protocol, as well as the upgraded version known as IPv6. IPv6 features an expanded addressing scheme that can support vastly more devices connected directly to the Internet, but it is not backward compatible with IPv4.
"IPv6 is a driver," says Wes Medley, manager of systems engineering for Brocade's federal sales office. "We've been supporting network infrastructure upgrades since 2006 within the Army that have been fully compliant with IPv6 standards. ...What's unique about this base is that we've integrated IPv6, IPv4 and MPLS into the infrastructure, and we've provided Fort Carson with the capability to upgrade to 100 gigabit/second."
Ron Cibotti, Army section vice president at General Dynamics, says Brocade's gear was selected because it complied with military requirements for IPv6 and was lower priced than rival's gear.
"IPv6 is a standard right now that all the Ethernet providers have to have," Cibotti says. "There are five large OEMs -- Cisco, Brocade, Enterasys, Hewlett-Packard and Juniper -- that are certified to handle and perform IPv6. ... Brocade gave the best-value solution from a total cost of ownership, and General Dynamics bid and won with them.''
Brocade says Fort Carson's new network is one of its largest core-to-edge deployments of routers capable of 100Gbps Ethernet and switches capable of 10Gbps Ethernet. Brocade is providing its NetIron XMR routers for the network backbone and its IronView Network manager software for monitoring network traffic.
Medley says Brocade's "ability to do IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack at line rates gives the Army the flexibility to migrate to IPv6 functionality and not upgrade their infrastructure.''
Medley adds that the Army also wants MPLS for running Layer 2 VPNs. "The reason that's important to the Army is that on any given Army base they have transient tenants," he says. "They want to be able to create Layer 2 VPLS domains on the fly."
Brocade is an incumbent on the Fort Carson deal, having provided routers to the base since the late 1990s.
General Dynamics selected Brocade for the Fort Carson network upgrade through the Army's Installation Information Infrastructure Modernization Program, dubbed I3MP.
"Brocade is a preferred OEM provider for General Dynamics' Army Solutions," Cibotti says. "They offer long-term sustainment, and that is the true value they bring to [us]."
RELATED: White House issues IPv6 directive
Tim Angelos, director of sales for the U.S. Defense Department at Brocade, says more than 50% of U.S. Army bases have Brocade routers installed and more than 80% have Brocade storage-area networking gear.
"The U.S. Army is one of our largest customers globally,'' Angelos says. "The flexibility of the Brocade design makes sense to the Army, which knows that they are going to run IPv4, IPv6 and MPLS concurrently. They don't know where and how much of each protocol they're going to need. The Brocade design supports all three protocols in hardware, so the Army can dial IPv6 or IPv4 up or down as needed with no performance impact and no additional cost associated with turning on any of those protocols."
Angelos says Brocade's IPv6 capabilities are helping it win Army business.
"In the last year, our business has been very, very strong across the Army," Angelos says. "They get to upgrade these networks every four to five years, sometimes longer. So being able to field something that they know is going to carry them forward is very, very important."

The Junior Gold Miners ETF one month later
Monday, December 14, 2009
Shortly after the Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSEArca:GDXJ) began trading almost exactly one month ago, the detailed data that Van Eck Global provides on a daily basis at their website was collected so as to prepare the chart below in order to get a better idea of how the ETF was being received by investors.
So far, the results are fairly impressive, but their timing no doubt helped out considerably.
As it turns out, Van Eck launched this new ETF, a first-of-its-kind product that focuses on mid-cap and small-cap gold and silver mining companies rather than the major producers, just three weeks before the $1,225 all-time high for the gold price on December 2nd and that, no doubt, explains a lot of what you see in the graphic.
Starting at zero on November 10th, net assets rose quickly to a high of over $600 million just after the gold price peaked, the decline in recent days being a result of a declining share price rather than redemptions. Since the share price for the ETF is down 13 percent since the early-December high and net assets have declined only 3 percent, this means that investors have continued to buy ETF shares during the current correction.
In the chart above, the gold price and the GDXJ share price are shown as the percent change since the ETF was launched a month ago and you can immediately see how much more volatile the shares are than the metal itself. So far, this appears to be more volatile than the much larger Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSEArca:GDX), which should come as no surprise.
Incidentally, the net assets for GDX now stand at a whopping $5.7 billion, by far, the world's largest gold mining stock fund currently available to retail investors, however, this is just one-seventh the value of the world's largest gold bullion fund - the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (NYSEArca:GLD) - that just passed the $40 billion mark.
I continue to think of the GDXJ junior gold miners ETF as a great way to get exposure to smaller gold and silver mining stocks without the hassle of owning individual shares and I expect it to be "discovered" by a host of new gold stock investors in the years ahead, much as its big brother GDX has been "discovered" in recent years. As the gold bull market continues, more and more investors will move further and further down the mining stock "food chain" in advance of a massive wave of takeovers and acquisitions that will come during the final stages of the bull market when both the gold price and mining stocks peak.
In my view, GDXJ should be considered an integral part of any investment portfolio that is focused on natural resources.

Modifying settings isn't going to happen. The solution, again, is to disable automatic cleaning and only run it manually. Future versions won't even allow automatic cleaning.
The proposed solution only accounts for a book saved with Sigil being opened again with Sigil and not having opened anything else in the mean time. Say you save a file and the pretty print settings are disabled and you get a warning about it. Then a few days later you need to make a tweak to another book. You open Sigil get yet another warning and choose to reenable pretty print. Then a few days after that you open the file you had saved. Your setting are back to pretty print and you run into this issue.
The second and larger issues is the proposed solution doesn't take into account books that are produced outside of Sigil that are invalid. Those files will be cleaned based on your settings and you are in the same situation. Sigil has happily "fixed" these files.
The automatic cleaning has issues. You've only noticed the issue because saving and reopening your own content has made it easier to see.

I do not paint things, only the difference between things.
-Henri Matisse
How many times you have used the command
diff or
git diff to compare files?. In the simplest case, diff compares and analyzes the content of two files and prints the lines that are different. Essentially, it outputs a set of instructions for how to change one file in order to make it identical to the second file.
However, in some determined cases (e.g. wikis and collaborative documentations) we could need to maintain revisions of the content in our site (a.k.a. revisions). Examples of this are Wikipedia and the Drupal.org site.
The module diff
Diff adds a tab for sufficiently permissioned users. The tab shows all revisions like standard Drupal but it also allows pretty viewing of all added/changed/deleted words between revisions.
This module has stable versions for Drupal 6 & 7 but there's not one for Drupal 8. However Lucian Hangea (@lhangea) have been porting this module as his project for Google Summer Of Code (GSoC). Along this post I will discuss about my experience with it.
Making it work
As you noticed, the last submitted work in GSoC page was on August 26th, 2014 and and as part of Drupal 8 development, it has been changing constantly, so it would have been too much work making all changes, so I started to searching a bit more and found his sandbox repository. I noticed that the last submit was 3 month ago in the branch refactor_to_plugins, so I downloaded using git.
git clone --branch refactor_to_plugins git://git.drupal.org/sandbox/lhangea/2269693.git
That was a good point to start because I also realized that there are too many differences between the version in GSoC page and this, however it still needed some adaptations, so I go ahead doing it and I created an issue and left my patch. I recommend you to download and apply it in order to make it work.
Reviewing the project
Now, here we are. It's time to start working with the module and to start we need to install it first, so move the folder of the project (with the patch applied) inside ./modules, rename the folder by diff and install it in the path /admin/modules as well as using drush.
drush en diff
Enabling revisions
At this instance we need to enable new revisions for every article content type edit. So, configure it in /admin/structure/types/manage/article and enable the following option
It's time to add a new article.
And edit it
You will notice that there is a new tab "Revisions" in the article
Click on it and get this
Here we have the two revisions of our article and if we look at the diff, we'll get the following
Just to see the different options, select Markdown. With this we're going to see just the text and not the HTML markup
Do you like the way that github makes diffs?
So, go to the general configuration page of the module in /admin/config/content/diff/general and change the CSS option
And test it
At the moment we can just see the differences in the title and body between the article revisions, but we can add more fields of the node entitie in /admin/config/content/diff/entities/node
Now, let's change the publishing status of our article
Compare the last revision with the first and noticed that the publishing status will be detected
We can also configure what field types we want to compare or not in the /admin/config/content/diff/fields. For example, let's change Text (formatted, long, with summary) (text_with_summary) value by Don't compare and save the form
Because our body field belong to this field type, the diff won't appear
The main issue to solve
I have been making all this proofs just passing values as parameters manually, that is because the module can not alter the view of the entity list.
This is the way that the module allow us select the revisions in Drupal 7
I emailed @lhangea asking if he could get this behavior in his previous versions but he hasn't emailed back yet. However if we look at the code in the file diff.module at line 14 we will see a @todo saying
// @todo Follow this issue: https://www.drupal.org/node/1728788. That issue is about create hooks that allow modules alter the view, submit and validation of an entity list building.
Changes in the patch
This is a description of the main changes that my patch updates in the project.
Attaching assets as libraries
The first change done was using libraries in order to add assets (in our case, CSS). This is the part of the patch
new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7cc0893 --- /dev/null +++ b/diff.libraries.yml @@ -0,0 +1,17 @@ +diff.general: + version: 1.x + css: + theme: + css/diff.general.css: {} + +diff.default: + version: 1.x + css: + theme: + css/diff.default.css: {} + +diff.github: + version: 1.x + css: + theme: + css/diff.github.css: {}
So, I changed all
$variable['#attached']['css'][] = drupal_get_path('module', 'module_name') . '/path/to/css/diff.general.css'; by
$variable['#attached']['library'][] = 'modulename/libraryname'
// Add the CSS for the diff. - $build['#attached']['css'][] = drupal_get_path('module', 'diff') . '/css/diff.general.css'; + $build['#attached']['library'][] = 'diff/diff.general'; $theme = $this->config->get('general_settings.theme'); if ($theme) { if ($theme == 'default') { - $build['#attached']['css'][] = drupal_get_path('module', 'diff') . '/css/diff.default.css'; + $build['#attached']['library'][] = 'diff/diff.default'; } elseif ($theme == 'github') { - $build['#attached']['css'][] = drupal_get_path('module', 'diff') .

'/css/diff.github.css'; + $build['#attached']['library'][] = 'diff/diff.github'; }
I also modified the .routing.yml in order to change the
_content key line by

Passing Url objects
And finally, I passed Url objects to
l() methods.
@@ -243,12 +243,12 @@ class NodeRevisionController extends EntityComparisonBase { $row[] = array( 'data' => $this->l( $this->t('< Previous difference'), - 'diff.revisions_diff', + Url::fromRoute('diff.revisions_diff', array( 'node' => $nid, 'left_vid' => $vids[$i - 1], 'right_vid' => $left_vid, ) + ) ),
Having a good management of our nodes revisions can help us to revert to any previous or posterior revision. This behavior is really useful if we want to build a wiki or a collaborative documentation. However, the needs of knowing what have changed among revisions is really necessary.
To achieve this in Drupal, we have the diff module that allows us see the differences between two revisions, however this module is just release for Drupal 7 & 6 and it's time to start working with Drupal 8. Indeed, @lhangea, a Google Summer of Code 2014 Student have been working to port it to Drupal 8, but the last commit was 3 month ago, so I took the task of updating this module to the beta 4 and show up how the module works.
Final Note
This work have been done for a task in Google Code-In (GCI) 2014. Google Code-in is a contest for pre-university students (e.g., high school and secondary school students ages 13-17) with the goal of encouraging young people to participate in open source.

The Madden NFL 07 premier in New York City brought together a cross section of NFL stars, who couldn't wait to get their hands on EA's blockbuster franchise&#Array;.and the free vittles in the buffet line.
Throwing the lead block is the big new addition to the 07 edition of Madden and Electronic Arts filled the ESPNZone in Times Square with players who know all about the importance of run blocking. It was just a rare sight to have the lunch pail class of football player at a videogame party where the glamour players usually rule. Make no mistake though, the fullbacks and O-linemen in the house got a healthy taste of the videogame superstar lifestyle.
Find out what we mean as Reggie Bush, Mack Strong, Orlando Pace, Marshall Faulk and Madden coverboy Shaun Alexander talk about the new blocking system and how to handle yourself around unlimited free food.

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY navytron89)
From the DailyKos: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2007/2/2
Calling all religious outrage merchants! Fifteen more minutes of fame, now available:
In his latest appeal to the Republican base, Duncan Hunter has named Dr. Henry Jordan as his South Carolina campaign co-chair. This Henry Jordan:
COLUMBIA, S.C. (May 16, 1997 12:25 p.m. EDT) -- A state Board of Education member, talking Tuesday about displaying the Ten Commandments in public schools, had a ready suggestion for groups who might object to it.
"Screw the Buddhists and kill the Muslims," Dr. Henry Jordan said during the board's finance and legislative committee meeting. "And put that in the minutes," he added.
The remarks made Tuesday were expunged from the written minutes, but were recorded on tape. The (Columbia) State obtained the tape under the Freedom of Information Act.
Jordan, a surgeon who failed in a bid to get the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor in 1994, said Thursday he thought the meeting was over and members were engaged in private conversation.
Finally, an opportunity for the right wing's professional plaintiffs and peddlers of faith-based outrage to influence one of their own campaigns.
Cue the crickets.
Nice guy there: Dr. Jordan sounds like a poster child for dominionist thought. I can't believe he said those things and is still in office. Its jerks like this that make me no longer claim Christainity as my religious perference. I can smell the b.s. and the back pedaling have already started and hope this guy gets canned.

Alien apocalypse: Can any civilization make it through climate change?
A new model indicates that transition to a sustainable energy civilization is much more complex than we'd imagined. Even well informed and well intentioned folks, it seems, are seriously seriously underestimating our challenge to survive.
"If we're not the universe's first civilization," Frank says, "that means there are likely to be rules for how the fate of a young civilization like our own progresses."
In order to illustrate how civilization-planet systems co-evolve, Frank and his collaborators developed a mathematical model to show ways in which a technologically advanced population and its planet might develop together.
"The point is to recognize that driving climate change may be something generic," Frank says. "The laws of physics demand that any young population, building an energy-intensive civilization like ours, is going to have feedback on its planet. Seeing climate change in this cosmic context may give us better insight into what's happening to us now and how to deal with it."
Using their mathematical model, the researchers found four potential scenarios that might occur in a civilization-planet system:...
The researchers created their models based in part on case studies of extinct civilizations, ...
How Do Aliens Solve Climate Change?
The most sobering aspect of this topic to me was...
But if we allowed the civilization to switch to the low-impact energy resource, the collapse still happened in certain cases, even if it was delayed. The population would start to fall, then happily stabilize. But then, finally and suddenly, it rushed downward to extinction.
All of that happy talk of Tesla advances, for example at Robert Scribbler's blog, is meant to emotionally balance the tsunami of horrible political and environmental news of our unfolding 6th Extinction. In the context of Earth's complexity (such as feedback loops) and "inertia" (that global warming forcings take a decade to actually change temperature, require 100,000 years to reverse)our species prospects look more bleak than ever to me.
You might think switching from the high-impact energy source to the low-impact source would make things better. But for some trajectories, it didn't matter. If the civilization used only the high-impact resource, the population reached a peak and then quickly dropped to zero. But if we allowed the civilization to switch to the low-impact energy resource, the collapse still happened in certain cases, even if it was delayed. The population would start to fall, then happily stabilize. But then, finally and suddenly, it rushed downward to extinction.

Ruth, a paraphrase of "What Jack says about...."
A mathematical model says more about the modelers than about the modeled.
That it's reported in Science Daily matters.
Postscript: From the publication's website:
"If you are a public information officer at a university or other research organization, and would like to submit your news releases for posting on ScienceDaily, please email them to: ...."
Some 'journals' are akin to vanity presses. SD appears to be legitimate.
One SD article includes the following:
"Dark matter is theorized as one of the basic constituents of the universe, five times more abundant than ordinary matter. But because the dark matter particles known as "weakly interacting massive particles," or "WIMPs," cannot be seen and seldom interact with ordinary matter, their existence has never been confirmed."
PBS's NOVA is NASA's vanity press.
Unlike Science Daily, NOVA programs tell of dark matter, dark energy, black holes, etc as if they exist.
The Big Bang and religion lack evidence.
(As I often say, I don't "Like" the prospect that surviving as a species may be much more challenging than we had imagined, but do appreciate your sharing information!)
In the end, it doesn't matter much whether we manage to live in harmony with Earth's resources or not. Inevitably, as the Sun continues to increase its output, Earth in a few million years will become a 'super-Venus' with a molten crust and a surface pressure of about 270 modern atmospheres. If we don't find a way to survive away from Earth indefinitely, we are done for a lot sooner than the destruction of the Earth by the Sun going Red Giant...
Sean, I agree.
Homo Sapiens is Natural Selection's presently-dominant species. In another blink of cosmic time a species better adapted to future circumstances will have replaced us.
Sheesh, another blow to humankind's frail ego.
However, where is there evidence that the Sun is increasing its output?
Does cosmology's Standard Model predict it?
In the Electric Universe model, the electrical stress at the Sun may either decrease or increase.
To me it matters a lot whether or not we manage to live in harmony with Earth's resources. The Earth becoming essentially uninhabitable within 50 to 100 years is quite different, in terms of human suffering versus fulfillment, than the sun becoming 10% brighter in a billion years and making it too hot here. With a few million years to spare I hope humanity might improve our knowledge and wisdom enough to transcend the physics challenge of the Sun getting hotter. If civilization collapses around the end of this century, with the expected 4°C rise, we have no hope of rising to our true potential. Near term catastrophe - pain, death, and the loss of hope - compared to maybe a billion years to do better, to be better. That matters much, Sean.
"..., we have no hope of rising to our true potential."
Ruth, I read some of what Riane Eisler wrote. What say you to the hypothesis that we--men, women and children--were at our true potential before we started killing each other over who owned which piece of land and who owned which woman?
We coevolve with our technology, Tom. I think our true potential will become more obvious when everybody is a world citizen. When each of us has a say in not only our own lives but in how the entire civilization is run. Co-operation on a global level will make ti possible for individual personal growth, empowerment. I also believe this will depend upon communication being two-way. In other words the powerful elites would have no secrets from the masses. This would control corruption and the sacrifice of the common good to advance personal or family or tribe or nation or religious supremacy. That hasn't happened. My vision for a sustainable civilization is quite radical, but I think it's coherent. Essentially the society would embrace not only equality and diversity and cooperation over violence, but also radical honesty/openness.
Thanks, Ruth; that's a vision we can hope and work for!
I have my optimist/pessimist brain working today. I/you/we experience the profound privilege of having been alive on the planet Earth for these few years. We read written histories of others who populated this sphere over historical time, we know of the great moments and horrid ones. We bear witness to the flourishing of a great civilization that reached the tipping point and slides into oblivion, just as so many others have risen and fallen.
It is not easy to participate in the downturn of culture and harder still to think of the future or lack of one for our children and their offspring. I have no idea how to prepare them for a heating planet. Just as my grandparents could not imagine a future of which I would become a part, neither can I guess the future of my grandchildren, or my great-grandchildren. My great-grandchildren are of an age when hormones take over their thinking and behavior, leaving them utterly oblivious to the trajectory of a Great Empire going into a fall.
It is my opinion that we have already reached the tipping point and no matter what we do, we cannot control the outcome of this change. I think the Earth will do just fine; sentient beings will not do so well.
If I am correct in my assessment of the future, what remains for me to do? Love! Powerfully and intelligently. There are many moments in the coming years fit for celebrations besides the equinoxes and solstices, there are birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, remembering of loved ones who have died. There are gardens to plant, tend, harvest, and preserve. Each seed and plant holds hope for the future; even if it is only another generation. Our pets, the feline, and canine varieties, as well as the budgies and whatever other creatures come into our lives, need attention.
I already grieve giving up my car even as I realize my mother and neither of my grandmothers had access to vehicles. I mourn the pending sale of my home, also as my mother and grandmothers had to leave their homes and become dependent on their children.
I am determined to be happy the rest of my life, no matter what happens.
Let's model that if we need it.
Thanks for your enlightening perspective, Joan.

The part of this I dislike the most--pulling the papers:
I'd really hate it if I didn't have my "purple thing" -if you don't have one, you should buy several-I but mine when the sets of 3 go on sale. I have cats that love to steal them and I am pretty sure I have accidentally tossed a couple :-( It happens.
Well off to sew I go - to see if I can get this together, photographed and submitted by tomorrow night at 9pm my time (PST).

text: Hey, Don't you need a good method to be able to make money? I hear a lot from people who really sound like they know what they are talking about that its all about psychology. So my question is do methods to make money come relatively easily, and is it the greed and fear that mess up peoples methods? Or is finding a method very hard and then having a solid mental/psychological aspect even harder to come by?

In the video below, Fool analyst Lyons George talks about Samsung's dominance over rivals Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Nokia (NYSE:NOK) in the smartphone market last year.
The Korean manufacturer shipped 213 million smartphones over 2012, setting a record for smartphone shipments. The number for Apple: 135.8 million. While Apple's numbers represent 46% growth year over year, the iPhone's market share remained stagnant at 19%, Lyons says. Samsung's market share jumped from 20% to 30% in that time.
Nokia, meanwhile, saw its share drop from 15% to 5%.
So what is Samsung doing differently?
It is covering the market at every corner, from the high-end Galaxy S and Galaxy Note to low-end models like the Galaxy Y. If you have a pulse and a wallet, there's a Samsung phone for you, Lyons says. But whether that's a profitable strategy remains to be seen. Samsung's margins are much smaller than Apple's.
But Apple cannot afford to ignore the strategy, and it's a good bet the iPhone maker will enter the lower end of the market in the near future, Lyons says.

New Project Tools to Coordinate ILC Design

New Project Tools to Coordinate ILC Design
International Linear Collider (ILC) researchers from around the globe are beginning the project's engineering design with a new set of tools that will allow decentralized collaborators to work in concert.
The project tools now in place follow the recommendations of the Global Design Effort's selection committee chaired by SLAC's Tom Markiewicz.
"I wholeheartedly thank the committee and dismiss them following a job very well done," Global Design Effort Director Barry Barish wrote in ILC NewsLine.
The computer-based project tools consist of: ILC Agenda for meeting and conference management; ILC Doc, the library for ILC notes, publications and illustrations; and ILC EDMS (Engineering Data Management System) for handling workflow of the engineering and costing, including 3-dimensional CAD (Computer-Aided Design) models, technical reports and specifications.
"Together, these three tools will allow far-flung collaborators to work together effectively as we enter the engineering phase of the project," Markiewicz said.
Collaboration teams and committees can contribute project information to shared workspaces, and view, revise or approve information posted by colleagues. The EDMS should make many tasks easier because it requires that designs use the exact same version of each component, whether a flange or an accelerator structure. This allows remote collaborators to improve the design for a particular component, or use a component in part of a larger structure, knowing they are using the right pieces.
Busy Times for BaBar
It's been another busy and successful year for BaBar. The B-factory presented an impressive 48 new results at the Lepton-Photon conference in Daegu, South Korea, including some using the most recent Run-6 data. The new results spanned the BaBar physics spectrum and included new measurements of Charge Parity (CP) violation in B-decays, decay rates of τ-leptons, and the search for new charm and charmonium states.
Undoubtedly the most exciting development over the past year has been the observation of mixing in the neutral D-meson (symbolized by D0), first announced by BaBar in March and confirmed by Belle soon after (see a recent SLAC Today article by JoAnne Hewett for an interesting discussion on the implications of this discovery). The discovery of D0 mixing, thought unobtainable when the B-Factories began, was first achieved in the decays of D-mesons to K- and π-mesons. Since the spring, these first measurements have been confirmed by measurements of mixing in other channels including the three-body decay modes and in the lifetime measurements of decays into two K-mesons and two π-mesons, all of which were presented in Daegu. The mixing results have generated significant theoretical interest as well with a recent search on SLAC-SPIRES yielding a large number of citations to the original BaBar paper.
BaBar has also continued work on measuring the Unitarity Triangle of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, an important test of the Standard Model. At the Lepton-Photon conference, new measurements on all of the sides and angles were presented.In particular, for the first time BaBar has measured the CP-asymmetries in B0 decays to two neutral rho mesons (denoted ρ0), a key ingredient in extracting the Unitarity Triangle angle α. The angle α is one of the three critical quantities that allow the B-factory experiments to probe the complex phase of the CKM matrix. Read more...

The neoclassical Column of Athena, by Leonidas Drosis, in front of the Academy of Athens.
Daughter-Women, as deified by the pagan Athena
Mother-Women, as deified by the Catholic Madonna
Sophia Begot Barbelo
Once upon a bygone time,
Before the time of nursery rhymes
When water flowed with finite brine
Epinoia spewed perfume's divine
But there was no nose to smell her vine
No tongue to taste her fruits of wine
No ear to listen to music chimes
No eyes to see radiant beauty shine
No touch to caress in evening time.
And as the fountain of all radiance
She spewed star dust, The First aether Dance.
birthed daughter Sophia; Mother's first romance
a mirror of magic in winds of enhance.
A mother's child full grown one day
And taught her love a virgin's way
Together breathing garden spray
In radiance of heaven's play.
The power of virgins flew far away
Came down to earth and kissed the clay
And man appeared in break of day
As girls made boys to share and play.
And as earth crust twisted, spun and turned
Boiling hot oil within her burned
A ball of butter melted churned
Made cosmic fire explode her ferns.
The sun shone hot to bake her clay
As spinning mass made night and day
An atmosphere to soothe the blaze
As heavens called; her dead man raised
To rapture some to Mother's womb above
All woman's spirits cooed like doves
Gave every life a taste of love
As newly open eyed mom above.
Love was the essence of her connection
Robbers came; taught man insurrection
And made clay genders with sore infection
To mine for gold little god defections.
And stars on high cried heaving tears
As gasses flamed and terrors smeared
And gods fought earth as man stole gears
And soured the wine; binding woman in fear.
And earthquakes rocked; volcanoes blew
As boiling lava overflowed
And hurricanes made cleansing news
Tsunami tidal waves came through.
And heavens pulled the earth apart
As ozone holes exposed hind parts
When fiery oil spilled gusher starts
Made men to die from weak failed hearts.
And Mother's womb took back her chord
They didn''t know that She was Lord
And all men died in one accord
Their breath cut off by the Elysium Sword

VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) — Many northwest Iowa students hope their enrollment at the University of South Dakota over the past two years will save them several thousand dollars.
The South Dakota Board of Regents began extending in-state tuition to new Iowa freshmen and transfer students attending one of the state's four public universities in the 2016-17 school year. The lower tuition rate doesn't apply to Iowa students who began attending the university before the policy went into effect.
The University of South Dakota's in-state tuition and fees are about $8,700 for the 2017-18 year, which is about $3,200 less than out-of-state tuition.
The university says the incentive has led to a nearly 70 percent increase in Iowa residents attending the university, with more than 300 students attending this academic year.
"We have been thrilled with the initial success," said Scott Pohlson, the university's vice president of enrollment, marketing and university relations.
How long the tuition policy will be in place depends on how Iowa students continue to respond to it, Pohlson said.
For years the university has attracted students from northwest Iowa since its main campus in Vermillion is close to the state's border. The university began working to attract more students from Iowa after they started seeing a decrease in enrollment.
"We had seen a steady decline in Iowa students since fall 2011 of 25 percent and felt that a new approach to Iowa recruitment would be helpful in attracting top talent from Iowa," Pohlson said.
Hunter Bryan graduated from Woodbury Central High School in Moville, Iowa, in 2016. He said the tuition rate will help him go to college without accumulating too much debt.
"It eases the stress of the whole college process," Bryan said. "You don't have to have the burden of money on your shoulders."
The university also offers the in-state tuition rate to the children of alumni.

When Better Homes and Gardens wrote about a "fuss-free" Thanksgiving, clearly they weren't picturing me, my husband, our cousins, two turkeys and a hatchet.
When Better Homes and Gardens wrote about a "fuss-free" Thanksgiving, clearly they weren't picturing me, my husband, our cousins, two turkeys and a hatchet.
A devotee of the local food movement, this year I decided to grow some of my family's food in the garden and raise two free-range turkeys for consumption during the holidays.
My husband was skeptical, but I drowned out his murmured objections by reminding him that last year's free-range turkey cost more than $100, and I encouraged my son by telling him that it was important to understand where our food came from.
In the spring, we purchased two turkey chicks. They looked like cotton balls with legs, but we were assured that by the fall they wouldn't be nearly as cute. We named them Christmas and Thanksgiving, lest we forget their purpose.
It might be an opportune time to interject that most folks consider me a vegetarian. I'm not, since I eat a little chicken and fish, but in general, I am an herbivore. My husband and son, however, are carnivores, and I had this idea that I'd serve them a truly home-grown and home-cooked meal for the holidays.
The turkeys joined our chickens in the henhouse, and while the chickens grew friendly and docile, the turkeys grew (in the immortal words of our pet sitter) "freaky."
And freaky they were. The turkeys got ugly, big and aggressive. They were possessed when it came to their food and tried to shove the chickens (and the humans who fed them) out of the way to get to the grain.
You'd think, given these bad manners and unseemly behavior, it would be no problem to "off" them when the time came. But, as the holidays grew closer, I brought up the subject and my son announced that he could not eat the turkeys because he had gotten to know them.
Then I told my husband I'd found a Web site showing how to slaughter turkeys and asked him when he'd be ready to start the process. My husband, who is a large animal veterinarian, considered this proposition for a few moments and then said "I think you'll have to find someone else. I've taken an oath."
Just for the record, he regularly treats "food animals," and used to work in a slaughterhouse.
I was beginning to smell mutiny.
But just when it looked as if the turkeys might get a Thanksgiving pardon, our cousins Jessica and Chris came to visit.
Over dinner, I told them about my Laura Ingalls Wilder vision of raising our dinner for the holidays, and I launched into my now finely tuned lament about the freaky turkeys, their food consumption and our best-laid but ill-executed (no pun intended) plans.
When I was done, Chris said, "We could kill them tomorrow."
"Really?" I said, sure that it was the wine talking. Chris is a lawyer and a sheriff's detective who'd just had gall bladder surgery two days prior to his visit. Not a likely turkey executioner.
But, after breakfast the next morning, the plan was put into action. A hatchet was sharpened and for good measure, a small-caliber shotgun was loaded as backup. Suddenly, I began to feel queasy.
As the first turkey took its slow, unsuspecting waddle of death from the coop to the chopping block, our chickens merrily followed in tow, pecking and scratching. Curious by nature, nothing could deter them from seeing what excitement awaited the turkeys.
However, as the turkey was restrained, incessant flapping ensued and the chickens turned on their heels and high-tailed it back to the coop with me trotting alongside them.
Safe in their nesting boxes, the chickens decided to lay eggs. Whether it was proving their worth or just an instinct amid chaos, those ladies shot out eggs like poultry Pez dispensers.
After the slaughter was over, the turkeys were cleaned, wrapped and put in the freezer. We gave one to Jessica and Chris to take home. They decided that, having killed their own turkey for Thanksgiving, they were now prepared to handle anything.
Considering the fact that I didn't have the stomach to pluck even one feather and that now I have a 24-pound turkey in my freezer that no one in my family will eat, I announced that this might go down as one of my worst ideas ... ever.
Next year I'll happily spend $100 to buy a pre-slaughtered, unnamed, free-range turkey that none of us have ever met.

Label: Dubious Honor
Year: 1994
A request (a couple requests actually, but one yesterday) to re-post the Mama Tick discography from a few years back is prompting this one today. The answer to the request is: No. Sorry. It's a pain to assemble those discographies and I don't feel like doing it right now. That being said, any fan of Mama Tick is a person (most likely a man person) who I feel a certain kinship with, and a certain obligation to. We are a small but dedicated community, and we must look out for one another.
So, here's the one and only full length mustered up by the mighty Mamas. Nine songs of loose and wild noise rock that epitomize all that was good with rock music of this vintage. Loud, weird, messy, heavy, fucked. What else do you want?
I'll post the Bovine and Amphetamine Reptile 7"s tomorrow, because I'm just that nice a guy. Or something.
Hail Mama Tick!

Bangalore being the Garden city of India has many tourist attractions. But the all-time favorite tourist spots are also prominent landmarks of the city. Every visitor makes a beeline to see the following 5 hotspots that Bangalore is synonymous with.
My No. 1 Tourist Spot : VIDHANA SOUDHA
Situated in the heart of the Bangalore city, the largest Secretariat in India, the Vidhana Soudha houses the Karnataka State Legislature and Secretariat. Between 1951 and 1956, the then Chief Minister Of the Mysore state(now Karnataka), Kengal Hanumanthiah, was responsible for the concept, the structure and the setting of this magnificient building, the most famous landmark of modern Bangalore. Construction began in 1952 and was completed in 1956. Vidhana Soudha is built entirely in granite with a fusion of various styles-Dravidian, Chola, Rajasthani and Kannada styles of architecture, it has Dravidian floral motifs on stone carvings drawn entirely from the temple craft of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu . The large wooden doors are made from sandalwood and are truly exceptional with their intricate carvings. At the centre of the three-storied building is an open quadrangle. The Vidhana Soudha has many halls prominent being the Banquet Hall, the Assembly Hall, the Council Hall, Cabinet Meeting Hall.
The eastern main entrance to the Vidhana Soudha has a large porch with eight 40 foot tall decorated cylindrical granite columns. The four corners of the building have four towers, supporting domes with metallic kalashas, one of which is taller and placed in the east and flanked by two smaller ones. Atop the majestic dome sits the glittering gold national emblem of India (the Four Lions),sculpted to perfection. The east entrance also overlooks the Attara Kacheri, right across the road.
My No. 2 Tourist Spot : ATTARA KACHERI
Attara Kacheri means 18 Offices or Departments. It was conceived and planned by Commissioner Bowring in1864 in order to set up a full fledged Secretariat almost a century before the Vidhana Soudha was even thought of. It was called the Old Public Offices and housed the general revenue and the secretariat of the state government. It now houses the offices of the High Court of Karnataka. Two-storied and impressive, the Attara Kacheri building is built with stone and brick and is red in colour, built in the Greco-Roman style. Attara Kacheri is located in the Cubbon Park.
My No. 3 Tourist Spot : CUBBON PARK
Cubbon Park is among the most famous major landmarks of the Bangalore city. Although a huge park in the city center, it also has situated on its grounds, various Historical Monuments, Government Buildings, Cultural, Scientific Institutions. It was planned and laid out by the then Chief Engineer of Mysore, Richard Sankey, in 1864. Later established in 1870 by Sri John Meade, the then acting Commissioner of Mysore, it was given his name and called Meade's Park. Subsequently it was named Cubbon Park in honour of Lord Mark Cubbon.
The horticulture department is in charge of the 300 acres of lush green park with over 6000 trees, shrubs and plants of various genera and species. Cubbon Park is indeed a botanist's paradise with colorful and sweet smelling and exotic flowers, fruits and grasses. Motorable roads and walking paths add to the pleasure of Bangaloreans who value lung spaces for their morning walks.
Historical Monuments are found within this park which is accessible from different entrances. Majestic Statues are installed here-Queen Victoria(1906) King Edward VII (1919) with the polyalthia avenue between the two. A chestnut tree avenue leads from the Chamarajendra statue to the Siddalingiah circle. Sir Mark Cubbon's statue is located near the terrace garden, Rajya Dhurandhara Sir K. Sheshadri Iyer statue(1913) stands in front of the Central Library named after him, and the statue of Sri. Chamarajendra Wodeyar (1927),a former king, is installed in the central portion of the park near the tennis pavilion with a beautiful fountain in the front.
A Band Stand at Cubbon Park was the central attraction for Bangaloreans on Sunday evenings in the last century where they heard musicians from all over the country and abroad performing live. Seated around the octagonal cast iron structure, they munched peanuts bought from local vendors while listening to live performances. My father, as a young man and his father before him have been part of this crowd every Sunday until it fazed out. I have had the opportunity to be part of this too as a little child for a few Sundays.
Other major attractions of the Cubbon Park include the Jawahar Bal Bhavan(1967), an amusement park, with its Toy Train and housing children's recreational and creative activities and play area, childrens theatre where childrens shows are held. As a child, I have enjoyed many rides on the Puttani Express or the toy train along with family and visiting cousins.
Timings :10am to 5pm (Closed on Thursdays)
Aquarium with its many species of exotic fish is right next to the Jawahar Bal Bhavan.
Timings 10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m (Closed on Thursdays)
Beyond this is the Venktappa Art Gallery, housing more than 600 paintings and open throughout the year.
Timings: daily except Mon 10 am - 5 pm
The Government Museum is closeby, built in 1876 by Colonel Sankey, also red in color like the Attara Kacheri. This museum is one of the oldest museums in the country, and has an exquisite collection of coins, sculptures, old paintings, inscriptions and excavated items. All original collections of the Mysore Gazetteer, B.L. Rice.
Timings: 10 am to 5:30 pm
Seshadri Iyer Memorial Hall is an artistic structure worth seeing and houses the City Central Library with its collection of the rarest books. Beautiful rose garden is right in front of this building and lush green lawns surround it. The Ringwood circle, lotus pond and bamboo grove nook add to the charm of this old structure as also the avenues leading from it, each with different colorful flowers.
Timings: daily except Mon 8 am - 7 pm
Sir Visweshwariah Industrial And Technological Museum is a museum that teaches technology, science in fun ways and is a treat for school and college students. Science and technology is brought to the common man through this museum built in 1965 as a tribute to Sir. M Visweshwariah, an engineer and a visionary.
Open hours: 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m
My No. 4 Tourist Spot : LAL BAGH
Lal Bagh botanical gardens is located about 4 km from Vidhana soudha. Also a botanist's paradise, it is home to trees several hundred years old. Originally a private garden of Hyder Ali, a former ruler of Mysore in 1760 and designed in Mughal style, it was developed further by his son Tippu Sultan. Legend has it that it was a garden of red roses and little Tippu loved playing there and called it the Lal Bagh,meaning red garden. Today, the garden is 240 acres of lush green paradise amidst a bustling Bangalore. Since 1856, given the status of Government Botanical Gardens, it has been an internationally renowned center for the scientific study of plants, conservation of plants and botanical artwork. Since its inception in 1760, it is a veritable treasure house of plants from all over the world.
Of the famous structures within Lal Bagh, the Glass House is the most famous. In the form of a diamond and on the lines of the Crystal Palace in England, the Glass House is beautiful and a sight to behold. It was built in 1889 to commemorate the visit of the Prince of Wales. Flower shows are held twice a year in the Glass House on the occasion of India's Independence and Republic day celebrations.
Other attractions of importance within the Lal Bagh are the Band Stand,Lal Bagh House,Pigeon House, Statue of Sri Chamaraja Wodeyar, Directorate building, Museum and cottage, Deer Paddock, Aquarium, Aviary, Kempegowda Tower atop the hillock, and the Lal Bagh lake where varieties of birds make an appearance for the fish.
Timings :open daily from 6.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m.
My No. 5 Tourist Spot : TIPPU SULTAN'S FORT AND SUMMER PALACE
Tippu's Palace was completed in 1791, the entire structure being built entirely with teak wood. This modest two-storied palace is adorned with balconies, elegant pillars and arches. The walls and ceiling are adorned with beautiful floral designs. This was Tippu Sultan's summer retreat and is a very popular tourist destination. Beautiful gardens line the avenue leading to the palace from the gate. After Tippu's death, the British used this palace as their secretariat up to 1867.
Tippu's Fort that surrounds the Palace is an added attraction. Originally constructed by Kempegowda, the chieftain who discovered Bangalore, in 1537 as a mud-brick structure for defence purposes, it was later rebuilt in stone during the 18 th century. Built in Islamic style, the fort has complicated carved arches. A Ganapati or Ganesha Temple built within its walls is well retained though the fort walls are crumbling in places. A tablet marks the place where Lord Cornwallis breached the fort in 1791.
Tippu Sultan's fort and palace are close to the bustling City Market.
Timings : 8 AM to 6 PM.

Would You Visit BANGALORE?
I like this post. Thanks for sharing.
You've done a great job covering Bangalore in your series of hubs! I've never been to India, but really am intrigued to visit one day. Cheers, Steph
So many beautiful places to visit XD
I had no idea Bangalore was known for gardens, but now it's perfectly apparent why!
Wow, I would not know which place to visit first! Tippu's place makes me think of the house Maharishi has built for himself, also completely and only wood.
Great and informative hub. Thank you for sharing.

Laser Material Removal Drives Wire Stripping Production
Many medical device applications require stripping outer layers of polymers from small diameter wire, and a laser is well suited for this material removal task. Offering a non-contact process that is very repeatable, lasers can selectively remove wire layers or areas. Easily automated, the laser transforms a key step in the manufacturing process into a lean operation, reducing and optimizing human-dependent processes and providing consistent part quality.
Domestic Manufacturing & Thermoforming Popular with Medical Device Manufacturers
Late last year, Ray Products, Inc., conducted a second annual thermoforming industry survey. More than half of the survey respondents represented medical device manufacturers. Their answers provide some helpful insight into industry trends.
Extrusion Tooling Services
Guill Tool & Engineering Company, Inc., West Warwick, RI, provides tooling for plastic, rubber, TPE, and other material extrusions, with end products ranging from extremely thin-walled, multi-lumen medical tubing and catheter balloon tubings up to multi-layer wire and cable jacketing. Guill also provides tooling for film, sheet, and profile extrusions.
Vote for Medical Design Briefs' First Annual Readers' Choice Awards
This year, Medical Design Briefs instituted a Product of the Month category in its New Products listings. Each month, the editor chose a Product of the Month that has exceptional technical merit and practical value for MDB's design engineering readers.
Choosing the Right Vendor for Your Micro-Molding Project
The demand for minimally invasive procedures is growing, as patients seek to spend less time on the operating table and in the recovery room. Micro-molding has emerged as the solution for medical device manufacturers, allowing smaller devices to change an open surgery into a minimally invasive procedure. Such small devices can be highly complex and difficult to make. Additionally, many designs call for the integration of dissimilar materials, such as silicones, thermoplastics, and biocompatible metals. This often requires complex secondary assemblies or over-molding, which can create many problems for ill-equipped manufacturers. Only experienced molders who understand the tool design and processing complexities can meet these requirements. How do you find these experienced molders and what questions should you be asking to determine the right fit?
Custom Direct Drive Motor Assemblies
Applimotion, Inc., Loomis, CA, offers custom direct drive motor assemblies with its popular ULT, UTH, UTS, and UTO brushless frameless motor kits inside. With sizes ranging from 10 mm to 500 mm in diameter, and pancake profiles as low as 10 mm, assemblies include precision bearings, special encoders, special mounting features, and cabling to provide a low profile solution.
Plastic Optic Fiber—An Evolving Technology
Plastic Optic Fiber (POF) is an established, continually evolving technology available since the early 1980s. From the outset, it was a technology not highly visible for years. At times, it was utilized as a media product within another product, attached to a variety of opto-couplers or light sources. Primarily it was intended to transmit information of functional digital data transfer for many sensing concepts and for small form illumination. In addition, the very nature of POF technology brings to engineering many of the attributes of glass fiber optic technology. But, the extensive functions of POF lend themselves to much wider product uses including medical instruments, data control and networks, automotive use, and a host of industrial concepts. At the same time, POF offers low-cost solutions for short-range communications, and a majority of defined illumination requirements.
Polycarbonate Remains Proven and Preferred for Medical Applications
Polycarbonate (PC) is one of the engineering thermoplastic materials most commonly used and most widely tested in the medical device industry today. Its inherent strength, excellent optical clarity, high heat distortion temperature, and dimensional stability make it an ideal material choice for demanding, critical healthcare applications.
Automatic Concentricity Adjustment System for Medical Tubing
Stringent product quality and process capability requirements confront producers of precision medical tubing used in medical device applications. This includes final tubing physical properties, such as burst strength, elongation, and lubricity. Medical tubing must also be free from surface quality imperfections such as gels, knit lines, and melt fracture (rough surface finish). While most of these requirements can be controlled with proper process parameters, tooling design, and clean product contact surface finishes; they cannot necessarily be controlled in a closed-loop fashion. The final tubing dimensions, such as outside diameter, wall thickness, and concentricity must also comply with the specification of the tube.
Wireless Foot Controls
Steute Meditech, Inc., Ridgefield, CT, announces its medical-grade, fully-compliant, wireless foot controls. Each customized unit features proprietary technology to achieve safe, interference-free performance. Operating in the ISM 2.4 GHz band, the technology continuously monitors the integrity of the bi-directional transmission path and ensures discrete device compatibility. A floor sensor protects against inadvertent operation.

FWIW, RFC 2183 and RFC 2231 are PS, > RFC 1806 is or was an experiment. Let's summarize: - RFC2616 should stop talking about RFC1806, this is just historic information - RFC2616 will have to continue to document Content-Disposition as "additional feature" - RFC2616 includes some vague statements about security risks, but doesn't say what they are; should it do so, or are they adequately documented in RFC2183? (in which case we it could just point to them) - RFC2183 already requires support for RFC2184, later obsoleted by RFC2231; so recipients implementing Content-Disposition as per RFC2183 will need to implement RFC2231 as well. > What is the idea of a Content-Disposition header field in HTTP/1.1 ? > Why should a filename parameter make more sense than the relevant > part of the URL, with its own security considerations in RFC 2616 ? Some reasons I can think of right away...: 1) Sometimes the last segment of the URL has no relationship with what the filename should be. 2) Even if it does, and that segment contains URI-escaped non-ASCII characters, there's no standard way to decode that into a character sequence (is it Latin-1? UTF-8? Something else?) BR, JulianReceived on Monday, 17 March 2008 08:48:40 UTC

Hello and slightly belated Happy New Year to all! I've just been reading that the artist and TV presenter Tony Hart has died. Limited though my artistic efforts were as a child, he and his programme Vision On were a great inspiration, so thanks for the gifts that his life has brought to me and many others. And this past couple of weeks I've been re-connecting to all of that as I embark on Module Two of my City and Guilds Handknitting course, which is all about colour. Working on the production of my own colour wheel with paint I've also been inspired to knit one - I have to say this was much easier than mixing colours with acrylics (although of course I now have to sew it all together!)
It's been a strange start to the year as my Other Half has not been at all well and has been off work. Meanwhile I'm trying to improve my work-life balance by working from home one day a week. This is certainly helping but I still feel like I've got a crazy amount to do in all areas of my life. Meditation wheels and mandalas are designed to help us preseve a still centre and by chance(?)this week I came across a beautifully hand-painted mandala a friend of mine made and gave to me a while ago.
It seemed to work well with the theme of both the colour wheel and the Buddhist idea of the wheel of life, a suitable image for the cycle of my own life in the year I turn 50. A time of life to take stock and look for new opportunities in a different way from before, perhaps. I'm struggling to make sense of this at the moment in a time of conflicting tasks and responsibilities, as well as creative possibilities. Who knows, in any event, where the Wheel of Fortune is going to land you next?!

Benefits for Baby
From birth, your breast milk meets the nutritional needs of your baby: it's a true gift from nature that helps your infant to grow.
Nutrition Evolves as Babies Grow
Breast milk evolves as babies grow. The first few days, breast milk looks like a yellow- fluid, thick and viscous: this is the colostrum protein concentrate, containing vitamins, minerals and antibodies. Then, after five days, breast milk becomes more fluid: the "transitional" milk, now rich in sugars and fats.
"Mature" breast milk starts from around the 15th day, and continues to evolve over many months in tandem with your baby's growth. Breast milk is also perfectly suited to your child's immature digestive system, providing a balance of different proteins.
Supporting Health From The Start
It has been shown that children who are breastfed are less prone to bacterial infections and classic childhood diseases such as ear infections, nasopharyngitis and gastroenteritis. They also develop fewer allergies. This protection also plays a role in the longer term. Studies have shown that breastfed babies are less likely to suffer later from diabetes, obesity, allergies and heart disease. By nursing your baby, you give him the best chance for good health throughout his life.*
The Secret To This Protection
Your milk provides antibodies to your baby that he needs and he cannot make on his own. Antibodies are proteins produced by the body when exposed for the first time to a virus or bacteria. When this virus or bacteria attacks again, the antibodies are ready to rapidly neutralize it. Up till a little over six months of age, these maternal antibodies protect your baby against many diseases. Then, gradually, your child's immune system develops to take over.
With your breast milk, you also give your baby good bacteria: lactic acid bacteria such as bifidobacteria.
Awakening The Taste Buds
In nursing your baby, you are also providing various flavors to your baby that he would not otherwise be exposed. Depending on what you eat, the taste of your milk changes.
Essential Fatty Acids
Essential fatty acids cannot be manufactured by the body, so we must ingest them through food and pass them on through breast milk. They play an important role in the formation of tissues, the construction of the brain and nervous system, and the regulation of cholesterol.
How Long to Breastfeed?
The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a baby's life. Partial and exclusive breastfeeding for a shorter period are also beneficial to your child's wellbeing, as is prolonged breastfeeding after introduction of solid foods between the 17th and the 26th week.
