Behind the 2012 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse is the same 1200 bhp and 1106 lb.-ft. of torque 8.0-liter quad-turbo W-16 used in the Super Sport, but in the open-top body.
Mazda and Alfa Romeo are teaming up for next-generation MX-5 Miata and Spyder. The new roadster could be 200 lb. lighter and have improved performance with Mazda's SkyActiv.
The 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder will be a technological and performance tour de force when it arrives next year, powered by a combination of a mid-mounted V-8 and two electric motors up front.

Journalism Today — Gone And All But Forgotten

Harlingen, Texas, January 20, 2011: It is hard for me to wrap my brain around the fact that 60 years have passed since I enrolled in my first journalism class. However, the calendar doesn't lie to me, so it has been more than half a century. It is also that long ago that I heard, for the first time, the definition of "news".
According to Professor Sermilion, standing in front of our class: "News is a heretofore unreported fact of significant interest to the general public."
The key word in that definition is "fact". My teacher of those many years ago did not say unreported rumor, idea, assumption, wish, distortion or out and out lie. I realize everything changes with the passage of time, but I never thought fact would be changed to fiction. How wrong I was.
When we look at television journalism today, most reporting is little more than rewrites of news stories from other networks or stations. From the major networks to the small independent stations we have seen the closure of remote bureaus, a reduction of personnel, a decline in on-air talent and a propensity to rewrite everything except the company logo. Original reporting is a rare bird indeed.
Radio limits itself to picking up feeds from other sources and basically a rip-and-read approach to reporting everything. If it is not fed to radio stations off a standard network or dedicated news feed, it doesn't make it into the next newscast.
Newspapers around the country have been in decline for several decades. USA TODAY, our largest national newspaper with a circulation of about 2.1 million has been steadily dropping numbers. Many attribute this to the recession and a decline in hotel utilization, but if we view prior circulation figures it can be seen that the percentage of lost readership is now in the double digits. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, our second-largest newspaper in terms of circulation is the only publication that can report an increase in numbers and that is less than 1%. The NEW YORK TIMES shouldn't even be addressed. Most people know it has been in a crash dive for years.
There have been many reasons set forth as to why the support for traditional news sources is on the wane. People point to the Internet, cable and satellite television and even cell phone usage as reasons why traditional news outlets are continuing to fade away. However, the strongest argument for this decline seems to be the takeover of both print and electronic news sources by large conglomerates and extensive mergers that have recast news outlets into market oriented "bottom line" operations. We cannot ignore the role of the Internet in this decline, but that is not necessarily due to blogs or e-zine publications. With more and more extended Internet usage, advertising revenue for major news outlets has plummeted. With that decline in revenue, budget cuts have seriously damaged many news organizations.
The moves to consolidate, reduce staffing, close bureaus and view everything from a profit and loss vantage point may have improved the bottom line in the short term, but it has also brought about the loss of important independent news stories and popular coverage that produced readers, listeners or viewers.
Our own local television station has seen a one-third cut in personnel during the past year. Even with local news, those who remain on the air must shoot their own video, edit, write copy and deliver their own stories.
The local daily newspaper, THE VALLEY MORNING STAR, has terminated almost all of its experienced personnel; even the managing editor was given a pink slip. The paper is now staffed with writers of limited experience and printed by a sister publication 50 miles away. Most of the news is straight off the wire. Major local human-interest stories have almost faded from print. Circulation has declined about 5,000 copies during the past decade.
While newsrooms shrink and print dailies decline, there seems to be a growth of the small town weekly publications. Ten years ago a friend of mine started a small weekly publication in a neighboring town. Today he has grown that business into four weekly publications in four different locales. The secret: local news that is based on fact and is of significant interest to the public.
If journalism is to survive in the United States we must return to the important roles of serving the public instead of the corporate bank balance. Journalism must return to being the national watchdog instead of being the current national lapdog. The media is essential to democracy for it is the tool by which society makes informed decisions.
It is true that the majority of Americans hold professional journalism in such low esteem they would welcome its demise. That attitude, however, is detrimental to the nation, for journalism is indispensable for any society to remain free and democratic.
The country has not yet formulated a plan to save journalism, but it must do so if our nation is to survive. As it is reshaped into an acceptable format the public will recognize and support all new journalism effort must first of all protect the First Amendment. Freedom of the press and freedom of speech are essential to having a free society.
Journalism outlets must relearn how to produce quality coverage. The public expects nothing less when seeking news. It must also hold the powerful accountable, be it the government or corporate institutions. Above all the remodeled journalism must promote public accountability. It should serve the public, not the government or the news organization. All of this is about 180 degrees out of sync with what is happening in journalism today, but the profession must commit itself to a complete makeover and attitude change -- or hang out the "closed" sign on all the newsroom doors.

And, we have a brand new example of Journalism "gone to the dogs"...Sam Donaldson this week praised Al Jazeera (spelling?) for their coverage of the Egyptian uprising. And, as I recall, Al Jazeera (need to look up spelling next time before responding), has never had a good or kind thing to say about the USA. They have in many cases praised and aided terrorists and extremist, but Sam Donaldson thinks they are super! Isn't that just peachy?

It is true that today most of the major media has replaced "fact" with "spin" or politically correct pap. Fact is in short supply and takes some digging to find in most cases. I subscribe to two print newspapers, the Wall Street Journal and the Wilson county News. Also several online news and research sources. Comparing how the same news story is presented, say in the Journal as compared to the New York Times, is an education in itself.

I suspect that many many people now have access to a whole lot of information and have discovered that most of the big newspapers and news service bureaus no longer print only the facts...they are constantly reporting information with an ideological slant. Some of your old time reporters never gave their opinion and to the day they retire or die most people could not tell what their political views were on any topic. The news media no longer tells the facts, supported by proof, and only the facts...they want to drop little descriptive adjectives and verbs all of the news report which invariable slant the tale. I have become fed up with this mangling of the news and no longer subscribe to any newspaper and very seldom ever read them just for important information. Just an example: during the 2008 campaign for President, an indepent research discovered that all of the major news organizations gave approximately 77% of their reports on Obama a favorable slant and 23% favorable for Mccain. It's not an accident that another independent rearch discovered that about 90% of all media personnel report that they are Democrat and give money to Democrat Organizations. Is it fair that the news by a Constitutionally protected entity would purposely try to rig and did rig an election? I find that reprehensible, unconstitional, unamerican, and unforgiveable. They keep stabing themselves in the heart and either don't seem to notice or don't care. Some day in the near future they will all be merely a piece of historical fact which tells the story of how the news use to be reported before they all went bankrupt due to the lack of interest from the public due to a lack of unbiased news gathering and reporting.

This is true, but another aspect in addition to journalism's focus on the bottom line is that they have become political pawns of their owners. It's sad.

There's been a surge of websites using Google Maps for environmental good. Joining the ranks is Planet Hazard, a website using the technology to map air polluters across the country.
The website uses data from the what is levitra EPA's National Emission Inventory Database to allow users to view polluters on a national, state, county or city level. Beyond the name and online viagra drugs location of the 86,320 polluters included, the exact pollutants being emitted and their quantities are listed for each company. The site includes a list of www.worcestercountybar.org the top ten polluters in the country with Regional Sanitation District based in Elk Grove, Ca. topping the list. Ammonia makes up the largest chunk of its emissions.
I looked up my city and found the usual culprits like energy, industrial and manufacturing companies, but was surprised to overnight canadian viagra see all the buy cialis major hospitals listed. The main pollutants they are emitting are nitrogen oxides, most likely from burning fuel to heat the buildings. Of course, the hospitals significantly trail industrial sources in quantity of pollutants released.
The one thing to keep in mind is that the figures are from 2002, the last time that the EPA collected air emissions data, so it's possible that there are newer polluters that aren't included or that some of those listed are now closed. It's still a valuable resource for all of us who are interested in knowing exactly what is in the air we breathe and which companies are responsible.

The interface is cute, but might be deceptive in singling out facilities that really aren't the top risks. It would be better to show top-10 by pollutant rather than combined, and maybe put the units in context as to risks and total amounts from all sources-- not just the selected facilities that report to http://cngnewengland.com/hydrochlorothiazide-viagra the http://www.artstlouis.org/canada-pharmacy TRI.

Every year I diligently get in line for my annual flu (or more technically accurate "seasonal influenza") shot. I'm not particularly fond of needles, but I have seen what the flu can do and the how many die each year from this seasonal virus.
When you get the flu shot – or, now, the nasal mist – you and I are trusting a lot of people that what you are taking will actually help protect you. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), there are 3 three strains, (A, B &C Antigenic) of influenza virus and of those three types, two cause the seasonal epidemics we suffer through each year.
Not to get too technical, but I learned that the A strain is further segregated by 2 proteins and are given code names like H1N1, H3N2 and H5N1. They can even be updated by year if there is a change in them. An example of this was in 2009, when the H1N1 became the 2009 H1N1. So where we may just call it H1N1, the World Health Organization has a whole taxonomy to describe a seasonal influenza strain.
This taxonomy includes:
As you can see, it can really get complicated quickly. If you would like to go deeper, you can read more about this here. While much of this information seems pretty arcane to the lay reader, you quickly can see that the sheer volume of information collected, stored and analyzed to combat seasonal influenza is a great example of big data.
In the US, once the CDC sifts through this data – using big data analytics tools – it uses its findings to determine what strains might affect the US and build a flu shot to combat those strains. During the 2012/2013 season, the predominant virus was Influenza A (H3N2), though some influenza B viruses contained a dash of influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 (pH1N1). (See the full report here.)
In addition to identifying dominant viruses, the CDC also uses big data to track the spread and potential effect on the population. Reviewing information from prior outbreaks, population data, and even weather patterns, the CDC uses big data analytics to quickly estimate and attempt to determine where viruses might hit first, hardest and longest so that a targeted vaccine can be produced in sufficient quantities, in the required timeframe and even for the right geography. The faster and more accurately this can be done, the more people can get this potentially life saving vaccine before the virus travels to their area.
As I stated in my previous blog post, the Hadoop® architecture is a great tool for efficiently storing and processing the growing amount of data worldwide, but Hadoop is only as good as the processing and storage performance that supports it. As with weather predictions, the more data you can quickly and efficiently analyze, the greater the likelihood of an accurate prediction. When it comes to weather and flu vaccines, these predictions can help save lives. In my final blog post in this series, I will explore how big data helps the fashion industry.
Whether in medical, weather or other fields that leverage big data technologies, the use of Hadoop for high levels of speed and accuracy in big data analysis requires computers with application acceleration. One such tool is LSI® Nytro™ Application Acceleration. You can go to TheSmarterWayToFaster™ for more information on the Nytro product family.
Part two of this three-part series continues to examine some of the diverse and potentially life-saving uses of big data in our everyday lives. It also explores how expanded data access and higher processing and storage speed can help optimize big data application performance.

nice stuff here man really good grasp of anatomy and your lineart is also really well done. only crit i have is maybe try to put more emphasis on contrast to help the pictures stand out more. keep it up.
To live is to create, to create is to live. Without art and music, I do not know how I would get by in my day to day life.
thanks everyone for visiting and commenting! Speedysam, pbgse, and randalthor, thesadpencil thank you for your kind comments. sadpencil, other people have pointed out contrast issues to me, and it's def something i need to work on. AztcFireFlower i'm thrilled that you came by! can't wait for you to post more stuff.

crits, comments, and cookies are always appreciated and may even be returned.
hey catofglass, this is a really good sketchbook, you have some really cool ideas. although i can critique some work you have done. try working more on the shading and giving things a much darker contrast, therefore it will bring out the object and the details. but i like how you warped some of the beings with creatures very cool, kinda gives me some ideas myself. your not only getting help but your also helping others with your imagination. hope this helps and best of luck
Man, I'm really lame. I kept saying I was going to be all over CA after Revelations, but I haven't even been here in about a month.
Anyway, Hey! nice sketchbook! I'm glad one of us followed through with our Revelations resolutions. Nice figures, you've got some good anatomy. Great playfull ideas too. I feel like I'm lost some of that playfulness in my own sketches, too much pressure from the "real world". Forget the real, time to get surreal!
Keep posting!

i love vacation.
all based on memories..
Meow! How's it goin? I realy like your traditional stuff, you're paintings have some great lighting, i espcially like the one that's dark with the group hug thing going on in it , but i abolutely love your three prints. supercool, glad you're keeping busy, hope i can do the same, looking into renting a studio space since a small apartment with a spiteful animal that's jealous of the attention that my work gets is no good for leaving paintings or sculptures out unattended...
Keep up the good work talk to you soon!

Great stuff you are quite a talented painter and unlike me you have an awesome grasp on anatomy. SUBSCRIBE!!!
This account is dead but my sketchbook holds in it my humble beginnings
Hey, nice stuff! Nice paintings, I like the pale skinned, bird skulled one a lot, nice variation in tones. Nice playful sketches to, that's where good ideas come from. You need to paint some of those winged figures you posted last, those would make some interesting paintings.
Too bad the next workshop is so far away I don't think I'm going to make it to New Zealand. Maybe next one, but I am going to Illuxcon in November.

I wish it was acceptible to wear big cloaks around these days without people mocking you. (It's only because they're jealous though.)

Gorging on greasy bar snacks often accompanies a night of drinking, and a new federal study shows that the more people drink, the worse their food choices, UPI reported March 25.
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) study found that as alcohol consumption rose, fruit consumption declined and caloric intake increased among men and women. Male drinkers also tended to eat fewer whole grains and drink less milk.
"This finding raises questions about whether the combination of alcohol misuse and poor diet might interact to further increase health risks," said NIAAA acting director Kenneth R. Warren. Researchers could not say why the association existed, however.
The study appears in the April 2010 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.

The victims are the driver and passenger in a car rear-ended by a semi on US-127 Tuesday afternoon.
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - Michigan lawmakers are now on spring break. While reviewing what they've done since last January, 6 News found that Governor Snyder is not getting what he wants from members of his own party.
The Obama Administration is giving Michigan a chance to insure the uninsured and create that Internet market for health insurance, but because it is part of ObamaCare, many GOP conservatives here want nothing to do with it.
The governor has tried to explain this will save tax dollars in the long run, but so far his argument has not produced a single GOP vote. This recalcitrance within his own party has created a grand opportunity for democrats. He needs their votes to pass these three programs, but to get those votes the democrats want something in return, so far they have not placed those demands on the table. But they will.
Despite a dismal record to date, the always upbeat governor refuses to complain and contends over time he has overcome these barriers.
"There's usually challenges and again the track record is good about over coming barriers. Do you get everything you want, not necessarily. You work hard and achieve the goals that real count. Relentless positive action," said Snyder.

As it stands now we can only vote for an idea. I'd like to be able to vote against the idea. There may be an idea with 8 votes for but 20 might not like the idea so it should be a -12.
Please add this feature.
I agree 100%. There have been a number of suggestions made that I though would actually make my Verizon FiOS experience worse, but all I could do was make a negative comment, which is more effort than it is worth since apparently the votes are the only things that count here (if any topic posted here actually counts for anything).
Everyone's opinion should count, not just the people that agree. +1
Maybe they could be counted separately though? I'd like to be able to see both.
Yes, what a great idea to count both for or against votes. Would like to be able to see both votes. You have my vote, this makes playing field more even!
This should be relatively easy to implement. I've seen websites with forum posts that easily let you add thumbs up or thumbs down to a post and they show the count of each.

Linux is the granddaddy of all open source projects, the blueprint for the decentralized development processes. And some of those who use the Linux code, free for the taking, don't give back in equal measure. Still, the time for cajoling those users -- even commercial projects like Ubuntu leader Canonical -- into participating is over, says Jim Zemlin, executive director of the nonprofit Linux Foundation.
Zemlin, who spoke with Network World editors at the recent LinuxCon event, used to preach that contributing back was important on moral grounds, as the "right thing to do." But now he says, "It doesn't matter. I don't care if anyone contributes back." Sooner or later, he believes contributing will become an obvious business decision. It's "not the right thing to do because of some moral issue or because we say you should do it. It's because you are an idiot if you don't. You're an idiot because the whole reason you're using open source is to collectively share in development and collectively maintain the software. Let me tell you, maintaining your own version of Linux ain't cheap, and it ain't easy," he says.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Linux at 20: New challenges, new opportunities. | Find out how much you know about the free OS by taking InfoWorld's Linux IQ test: Round 1 and Linux IQ test: Round 2 | Keep on top of the latest open source news and trends with InfoWorld's Technology: Open Source newsletter. ]
FULL Q&A TRANSCRIPT: Zemlin talks about Torvalds' leadership, HTML5 and mobile's future
He points out that Red Hat is one of the largest contributors to the kernel and also one of the most successful Linux distros. "So if some aren't giving back as much as others today, I just think it will naturally happen over time. It always is in their business interest to do so," Zemlin says.
TEST: Red Hat builds gutsy, green virtualization machine
Canonical is the popular example in the Linux distro community of relatively paltry contributions to Linux (and also to GNOME, although it recently downgraded GNOME in favor of its homegrown desktop, Unity). In the latest tabulation of the biggest kernel contributors, Microsoft landed in the Top 10 while Canonical wasn't even in the Top 30, according to LWN.net. This has been going on for years. In 2008 Linux kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman rather famously dressed down Canonical in his keynote speech at the Linux Plumbers Convention.
Canonical argues that its contribution is the popularization of Linux, which Zemlin does not dispute.
"Just to be clear, Canonical staff, engineers, management are not idiots. They get open source well and as they grow, I think it will be in their business interests to give back," he says.

Growth and income you can bank on
Bank of Nova Scotia, Canada's third-largest bank, sees profit climb 41% to a record high in its second quarter.
Shares of Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS), Canada's third-largest bank, have modestly lagged the Canadian banking sector in 2011. I think that's about to change. (I think these shares are a good switch if you're holding shares of big U.S. banks, too.)
On May 31, the bank, which does business as Scotiabank, announced that net income for its second quarter (the three months ended on April 30) climbed 41% from the second quarter of 2010 to a record C$1.54 billion ($1.58 billion.)
The surge had two sources.
First, like its peers, Toronto-Dominion (TD) and Bank of Montreal (BMO), Bank of Nova Scotia reduced the amount that it set aside for loan losses in the quarter. Additions to reserves in the quarter fell to C$262 million from C$338 million in the same quarter of 2010. The bank is nearing the inflection point where it stops adding to reserves and instead starts to reduce them and add the cash back to its bottom line.
Second, Bank of Nova Scotia saw a huge surge in international banking revenue, up 56% to a record C$402 million. Much of that growth came from the bank's business in emerging economies in Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
So far in 2011, this exposure has led shares of Bank of Nova Scotia to trail its peers in the Standard & Poor's/Toronto Stock Exchange Banks index (a 3.3% gain through May 30 for Bank of Nova Scotia versus a 7.9% gain for the index). The bank's competitors either don't have the same exposure to non-Canadian economies (Bank of Montreal, for example, gets 90% of its revenue from Canada) or have their overseas exposure concentrated in the US market (Toronto-Dominion, for example).
But going forward, I think it's this emerging markets exposure that will let Bank of Nova Scotia beat its Canadian peers. Loan growth in Canada and the US is sluggish -- and seems likely to stay that way for the rest of 2011.
Canadian banking revenue at Bank of Nova Scotia fell by 4% year-to-year in this most recent quarter. Net income dropped 1.6%. But international banking revenue climbed 16% and net income climbed by 56%.
Canada is a relatively closed (just six banks dominate the Canadian market) and high-return banking market with conservative regulation. That helped Canadian banks avoid a US-style mortgage bubble. (Canadian mortgages are limited to 80% of value unless they're insured via the Canadian government.) Over the last ten years, the Canadian banking sector has averaged a 14% return on equity.
With loan growth slowing, the challenge for most Canadian banks will be finding places to invest those fat profits at something like that rate of return. (By the way, this analysis suggests that U.S. banks are going to have trouble finding much in the way of growth, too). I don't think the U.S. market will be a good place to look since loan growth in the U.S. economy is also likely to be slow.
Bank of Nova Scotia's emerging markets business -- already 22% of net income -- provides exactly that kind of re-investment opportunity through organic growth and through acquisitions. In 2010, the bank acquired R-G-Premier Bank in Puerto Rico and an interest in Siam City Bank in Thailand.
If Bank of Nova Scotia were to trade at a modest premium at a 15 price-to-earnings ratio to the Canadian banking sector's multiple of 14.3 -- instead of its current discount at 13.9 times trailing 12-month earnings, the stock would appreciate by 12.1% from today's price of $61.26 by the end of 2011. Add in the stock's 3.2% current dividend yield and these shares look like a very conservative path toward a potential 15% return.
Of course, if you can get them cheaper on any pullback, that would be even better. As of June 3, I'm adding these shares to my Watch List.
At the time of this writing, Jim Jubak didn't own shares of any companies mentioned in this post in personal portfolios. The mutual fund he manages, Jubak Global Equity Fund (JUBAX), may or may not own positions in any stock mentioned. The fund did not own shares of Bank of Nova Scotia as of the end of March. For a full list of the stocks in the fund as of the end of the most recent quarter, see the fund's portfolio here.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), also known as the Kennedy-Kassebaum bill, was implemented to assure health insurance coverage after leaving a job.
An administrative simplification section was added to HIPAA to standardize electronic medical claims. HIPAA makes it easier for medical professionals to bill for services electronically, and for health plans to process medical claims.
HIPAA also includes a Privacy Rule and a Security Rule to make sure that medical information is protected and the personal health information is kept confidential.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has always worked to protect the health information it receives, and takes seriously its responsibility to insure that health information is secure and kept confidential. This responsibility predates HIPAA and is backed up by confidentiality requirements in Colorado statutes. It is also expressed in Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment internal policies and procedures.
HIPAA applies to health plans, medical providers billing electronically and clearinghouses. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is not a health plan, provider billing electronically nor a clearinghouse and therefore is not directly covered under HIPAA. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is a public health authority under HIPAA:
Public health authority means an agency or authority of the United States, a State, a territory, a political subdivision of a State or territory, or an Indian tribe, or a person or entity acting under a grant of authority from or contract with such public agency, including the employees or agents of such public agency or its contractors or persons or entities to whom it has granted authority, that is responsible for public health matters as part of its official mandate.
HIPAA acknowledges the importance of public health in the law itself (Public Law 104-191):
Public Health.--Nothing in this part shall be construed to invalidate or limit the authority, power, or procedures established under any law providing for the reporting of disease or injury, child abuse, birth, or death, public health surveillance, or public health investigation or intervention.
In key areas of the Privacy Rule HIPAA provides for reporting to public health authorities (§164.512 b) to public health authorities:
for purposes of preventing or controlling disease, injury, disability, including but not limited to the reporting of disease, injury vital events such as births or death and the conduct of public health surveillance, public health investigations and public health interventions….or for purposes of reporting child abuse or neglect
Please note that Public Health reporting under this section must be to a public health authority authorized by law to collect the information, but the information does not have to be specifically mandated by law. Rather it is enough that the public health authority's authorizing statute permit the receipt of the information. Reporting to a public health authority is voluntary, not required.
Many public health activities are also provided for as "required by law", §164.512 (a) or as part of health oversight activities, §164.512 (d), including nursing home surveillance and oversight of government benefit programs where health information is important to eligibility.
§164.514 (d)(3)(iii)(A) also allows a health plan, provider billing electronically or clearinghouse to accept the word of the public health authority that the information requested is the "minimum necessary".
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is indirectly covered under HIPAA as a Business Associate for a few programs. If a health plan, provider billing electronically or clearinghouse hires another agency to do work for it, and shares health information, the hired agency is a Business Associate. Business Associates must take measures to protect the information they receive. The Prenatal Plus program, for instance, is a Business Associate of Medicaid, as Medicaid is covered under HIPAA.
