ArticlesWhat You Need to Know About Hives
NewsSkin Allergies Can Flare Up in Summer Heat
Drug ReferencesAstemizole
Urticaria, or hives, is a condition in which red, itchy, and swollen raised areas appear on the skin--usually as an allergic reaction from eating certain foods or taking certain medicines; however, sometimes the cause may be unknown. Hives can vary in size from one-half inch to several inches in size. Hives can appear all over the body or be limited to one part of the body.
Antibiotics, especially penicillin and sulfa-based drugs
Anticonvulsant drugs or antiseizure drugs
Dermatographism. Hives caused by scratching the skin, continual stroking of the skin, or wearing tight-fitting clothes that rub the skin.
Cold-induced. Hives caused by exposure to cold air or water.
Solar hives. Hives caused by exposure to sunlight or light bulb light.
Exercise-induced urticaria. Allergic symptoms brought on by physical activity.
Chronic urticaria. Recurrent hives with no known cause.
Angioedema is an allergic reaction that causes swelling deeper in the layers of the skin. It most commonly occurs on the hands, feet, and face (lips, tongue, and eyes).

for the Week of July 23, 2012
Ocean and bay recreational beaches ( R ) are subject to opening and closing procedures of the State Sanitary Code and must be resampled when bacteria concentrations exceed the primary contact standard of 104 enterococci per 100 mL of sample. Consecutive samples that exceed the standard require the closing of the beach until a sample is obtained that is within the standard. Non-bathing beaches ( N ) are not bathing beaches and do not require resamples. Sample results shown in red have exceeded the monitoring standard and will be resampled.

Hamble College achieves Investor in Careers Award
Friday, 21 June 2013
Hamble Community Sports College has achieved national recognition after receiving a quality award for its careers education. On 20 June, Hampshire County Council's Executive Member for Education, Councillor Peter Edgar, presented the College Career Champions and Principal, Gerry Halley-Gordon, with the 'Investors in Careers' Award.
With support from Hampshire Careers and Employability Service, delivered by the County Council, Hamble Community Sports College provides careers education for its 1000 students and their parents/carers. The Department for Education encourages all schools to gain a recognised quality award and, in its most recent report (December 2012), Ofsted highlighted the College's careers provision, stating: "Students are given good advice and guidance about the subjects they choose to study and, as a result, the numbers of students who are not in education, employment or training when they leave are very low."
Councillor Edgar commented: "This is the first award of its kind to be presented to a secondary school in Hampshire, since the introduction of the Quality in Careers Standard. Hamble Community Sports College is to be congratulated on its achievement. When you are young it is often difficult to know what options are open to you and how to make the most of your strengths. This is where excellent careers education and guidance comes into its own, helping young people to identify what they want to do when they leave school and what path to take to get them there. I am pleased to learn that other schools in the county are following in the College's footsteps and are also working with us towards gaining this accreditation."
Mrs Halley-Gordon commented: "We work hard to ensure that those heading towards further and higher education or employment are equipped with the skills and knowledge that they need to make the most of the potential and the opportunities open to them. We are grateful to the County Council's Careers and Employability service for their support, and much of the credit for this award must go to Vicky Hall, our Careers Education Information and Advice co-ordinator and her student Careers Champions. This award is a significant achievement for the College and we will do all we can to maintain the high standard for which we have been recognised."
Hampshire Careers and Employability Service delivers a high-quality, well-established and successful careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) service to schools and colleges, with proven expertise and experience of working with schools, colleges, young people, and local and national employers.

It is time to get rid of my son's pacifier, but I don't know how. None of my other kids hung on to their pacifier this long and he is really attached to it. I dread bedtime and naptime without it! Help! How do I get rid of his pacifier without traumatizing him or me? – Bonnie, StrongMoms Facilitator
I can't remember who but i'm almost positive that it was one of the nurses on here who basically explained that her son was a big boy now and didn't need them anymore, but there were other little boys and girls that need them and allowed him to make the decision to leave them for the pasifier fairy to collect for the other children. Maybe it would be nice to leave something in their place so that when he waked up in the morning he has something else special to focus on.
My one daughter clung to her pacifier until she was 3 and that was way too long for me. Eventually, we used the "binky fairy" and left presents under the pillow each night for a week that she didn't use her pacifier. That pretty much worked. For my oldest, we went on summer vacation one year and we forgot the binky unintentionally. We explained that we didn't have another one and left it home and she never used it again. Good luck!
I think of binkis as a "self soothing" tool that kids use for just that. So, it's often really helpful to trade for a different self soothing tool. I know kids that have traded for a blanket, stuffed animal, or learning to rock themselves to sleep.
Brinny remembered my little boy's situation perfectly. :-) I just explained that other babies need it more than he did and I had him "mail" them in a package. Later he found a new little toy in the mailbox. I honestly found that it was me that needed to really get rid of them so that I didn't have the temptation to give them back! When push came to shove, he managed to get rid of it easier than I thought he would. Hope it goes well!
At Hazels dr appointment yesterday i was told by her doctor to start weaning her off the passifier over the next couple months so she'll be off them by the time she reaches a year old. Some of suggestions she made was to only offer them at certain times of the day like nap and bed time at first then just bed time after a few weeks and then work on not giving them at all. another suggestion is cutting off the tips of the nipple so they are less satisfying to suck on or just going cold turkey and throwing them away all together.
Kids adjust... there may be a rocky night or two, but cold turkey should do the trick in a short time.
My son was 18 months when my SISTER intervened. I just had a hard time taking it because he liked it so much (he only used it for naps and sleeping at night). If it fell out while he was sleeping, he wouldn't wake--he only needed it to fall asleep. Anyway, she came over one day and told him that he didn't need it anymore. She took it and told him to take his nap. That was that. He never saw the pacifier again, and didn't complain much. I think the fact that someone other than mommy took it helped GREATLY! Even if your son is traumatized for a while--believe me, it will be okay in the long run. It is only temporary--and next year, you will have something completely different to worry about! LOL.
Every child is different to how they get rid of a soothing item. My daughter is 2 and loved to have her "nook" (that's what she called it). I started to notice not to long ago that instead of sucking on it she was biting them. And I don't me clenching her teeth, I mean literally making huge holes and then ripping them in half. When I felt that her doing that was not only pointless use of the passie, but also dangerous I would take the top half that she bit off and give her the open part (with supervision). She noticed that the passie wasn't the same and I just threw them away without her looking. Nighttime was my first fear because that was when she wanted it the most. Sticking to her usual bedtime ritual of a bath, one cartoon, and a warm cup of milk, she fell right asleep. I just thought I got lucky that night but as nights went on and she continued to not ask for it I knew right there that she had dumped the "nook" for good. I have a 10 month old, but never gave him a passie which helped in a sense because if he didn't have one for her to see, she wouldn't think about having one. (Plus she would just take his anyway) Now that one small thing is out of the way I'm now working on potty training her before #3 gets here in June. I suggest you just let your son find his own time to get rid of it. Trust me, it'll most likely be sooner then later. Hope my pacifier story helps!
Those are some great ideas!!!! I especially love the binky fairy ideas and the idea of mailing his pacifier to other children!! Although he is super attached at the moment, we have managed to wean him down to just using it at night to sleep and for nap time. I will just have to take the plunge and remove it though..I think I am dreading it more than him!
We finally took Hazels Pacifier away 6 days ago. She only wanted it when she slept and usually dropped it as soon as she was out. But I have not had a full nights sleep since. she does well for the first 4 hours, but then wakes up crying every 20 minutes after. i hope it doesn't last much longer.
Our son would take 6 of them to bed with him. He liked to hold them and had 1 in mouth when he went to sleep. When we decided to remove the binks from the equation, we just cut the tips off. They were awkward in his mouth and he gave up after about a minute of trying each one. No tears, no screaming.
Wow, Garyg7133 i would have never thought of that! Makes them not work quite the same, and I can see why he gave up. Very creative!
Cutting the tips off is a good idea. I might try that! I hope things get better Brinny!
My little girl did not even try to use pacifier.

Atlas of New Librarianship – The unbook unreview
14/06/2011 § 15 Comments
*note – I've deliberately decided to use the word 'text' herein because I truly believe this project must be absorbed and interacted with across its dual formats, printed book and web/digital presence. Hows that for meta? Cultural Studies, represent!! Lacon, Barthes, dying authors, and all that jazz.
Let me be clear from the start – I have not (yet) read this text. It came across my radar back in early March, and I have been following developments surrounding the book, including the iPad app and companion website which are awesome, and thought it would be a useful and relevant read for library school students and librarians, thus my decision to write it up here now.
Doing research for this post, and thanks to a hot tip from Nicole, I discovered that Emma Montgomery, an LIS student at Syracuse, will be hosting a Twitter reading group to get through the Atlas in 6 weeks. I plan to join this reading group, and I hope those of you interested will also. It starts June 20th, and details can be found here. So, on to my unreview.
The Atlas of New Librarianship was published in May of this year by MIT Press [correction added] and ACRL. The author, R. David Lankes is an Associate Professor in Syracuse University's School of Information Studies and Director of the Library and Information Science Program. This book, from what I can tell, is enormously COMPREHENSIVE and is working to redefine how we think of ourselves professionally and in relation to the information world. In fact, Dr. Lankes clearly defines his goals for the book with a mission statement: "The mission of librarians is to improve society through facilitating knowledge creation in their communities." Wow. Nothing about books there. A key point that stand out to me, and one that I hope will ring true as this book reaches more people, is that Dr. Lankes is concerned with the role of librarians, NOT libraries particularly. The institution and physical space of the library is important, we can all agree, but reimagining the active agents in that institution, we, librarians, is what will save our profession. The buildings may all disappear and run out of funding, but the skills and aptitudes that are cultivated through our investment in broad knowledge and community-building will prove our value for many generations. Woah… soapbox. Back to the text…
I am incredibly overwhelmed and excited about the way this text is constructed, especially including the companion website. Let's see if I can boil this down – The text is built around 6 major Threads, which are built on statements Lankes calls "agreements" with contextual relationships to help explain them. Sound too mathy for you? Me too. The good news – he draws pictures for sense-making for us visual learners. His Map breaks out the various parts of the text, and offers a guide for how this "new librarianship" might be constructed. So the whole 'Atlas' thing –yeah he really meant that. And it is again enormously comprehensive. I was delightfully surprised how many points on this map have appeared as topics on this here blog in the past few months, including: Core Skills, Death of Documents, Ethics, Members not Patrons or Users, and Social Networking. [His titles, our links] The topics introduced in the text/site are, in my opinion, essential for LIS students especially to begin to ingest in order to have an accurate sense of what librarianship is, not what our schools teach or the ideas we bring to our education/profession.
I could go on, but I wouldn't do any more justice to the text without having a better grasp of the concepts, which means I should probably read it. Here's what I'd like to say – this thing is important. It deserves our attention, perhaps more so than our arguments about which metadata schema will survive the semantic web shift; perhaps more so than our decrying ebooks and Harper-Collins. Am I proselytizing a little much for a text I have not even read? Probably. But if the ideas Dr. Lankes proposes are actually the foundations of new librarianship, and if they are as radical and far-reaching as they seem, I'd like to stake my bets now.
My request: how does this text and these ideas fit with the variety of communities that are represented inside librarianship? How do rural libraries fit here? Youth Services? Information technology? Cataloguers? Archivists? If we all reimagine ourselves and our roles in this new age of librarianship as "facilitator of knowledge building in the community", does the profession shift drastically? Is this a text/manifesto for administrators, paraprofessionals, law librarians, Information Architects? Or is it only relevant to digital-minded folks with ambitions to take over the world like myself? Put me in my place… what do you really think?

§ 15 Responses to Atlas of New Librarianship – The unbook unreview
Thank you for this excellent "unreview"! I love that term. One correction: the book was published by MIT Press and the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL), a division of the American Library Association. ACRL is hosting the companion website.
I hope you and others do join the Twitter reading group with Emma. This is exactly the kind of interaction Dave was hoping for and that this content really deserves!

Micah, thank you so much for this! From the sound of it, this is finally the good news us noobrarians need–there is a future for us, but it likely won't look like anything we've seen before. Its exciting, and thanks for bringing it to our attention!
Trivial detail: it's Lacan, not Lacon.
[...] Then unreview is a review of a book you haven't read yet? Interesting. Well, the Unbook Unreview for The Atlas of New Librarianship has got me excited to read the book again. Thanks for the reminder, I just requested the next [...]

It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

A New Start March 31 2013
I've run a Wordpress blog for nearly 6 years. It is annoying to add content to and too bloated. Then the one time your forget to update to the latest version, a script kiddie blows away everything with a new vulnerability. I'm tired of it and I've decided to simplify.
I'm playing with hardwired, a very simple file based CMS build in a weekend by my cousin. I know nothing about Ruby, so it is a good oportunity for some new learning.
Once I get the system up and running, I'll start filling in the older posts from Wordpress. Those that are worth keeping. It should be fun at any rate.
Windows Phone Experiment is Over April 9 2012
My wife and I left webOS when HP flushed their 3 year plan to revamp webOS down the toilet. We tested both Android and Windows Phone. Android is a multitasking joke. Coming from webOS, it has a terrible UI. Windows Phone has very nice flowing UI. We decided to go to Windows Phone.
Microsoft representatives promised to get phones and development credits to webOS programmers. Despite many requests, it turned out to be a bunch of hot air. Sadly, this turned me off to all mobile development. We slugged along with trying to make Windows Phone a viable mobile solution for 8 months. We are done trying. After two weeks of switching to Android, we know two things. 1. Android is painful to use. 2. Android is LESS painful than Windows Phone.
I enjoy podcasts. Trying to listen to them on Windows Phone is a complete nightmare. It is so bad that I stopped listening to podcasts. It was one of the many things I slowly gave up, because of the lack of usability on Windows Phone.
I have a decent collection of audio books on mp3 format. There is only one way that I could make these work on Windows Phone. Join app mp3s in the right order into one mp3 file. Change the metadata to indicate podcast genre, and go through Zune to get it on my phone. Then if I want to listen to other things on the device, I get to lose my place.
I used to subscribe to audio books on Audible. I stopped with webOS. This keeps getting promised for Windows Phone. This exists for Android. Which brings us into another factor: apps.
I dealt with the lack of apps, lack of access to hardware, lack of many things on webOS, because the UI is still the best out there. Two weeks on Android with access to some of the things I have been missing, makes up for a lot of bad UI.
Zune slowly changed from something I have to work through to get stuff on my phone, to something that drives me completely nuts. I setup WiFi sync, so that I didn't have to constantly connect my phone to download podcasts and other things to it. My Windows Phone never seemed to correctly download these things on its own. Oh, how many times I watched my phone indicate pending downloads that would never come to pass.WiFi worked to finish the downloads when the software felt merciful and the moon was in the correct region of the sky. If I wanted an annoying piece of software that was the gatekeeper for my device, I would just deal with the abomination that is iTunes.
File management is a joke. The process of getting a document on and off your phone involves crazy steps of using email, online syncs, and a bit of prayer. I miss the former days of a USB drive mode, where I could just copy files. Guess what? That is back with Android.
While Windows Phone has the same multi-task pausing of the iPhone, it was easier to switch between apps than Android. However, if the app isn't setup with the Mango resume, the pause before the app resumes is annoying. Really the two platforms are pretty much tied in this race. They both have barely left the starting blocks of usability, compared to webOS.
I thought that the home screen of Android would be more annoying. It turns out to be less so than trying to fit all the apps you want to use on the start screen or looking them up each time in the alphabetical list.
So, what do I have with Android now?
Apps for my credit union, including deposit check via photo. Charging credit cards via a device on the headphone jack. Tethering via USB for free. Not quite the WiFi hot spot that webOS gave me, but I can have that too if I decide to root the phone. Edit: Found FoxFi, so WiFi hot spot is back.
A video player that plays files I just drop on the phone via USB. No waiting 30 minutes to convert the files into the correct format.
Ambling Book Player that takes an audio book with 250 files and handles it perfectly.
BeyondPod which, while not as nice as Dr. Podder on webOS, can actually manager all my podcasting needs on the device.
Audible. I have missed Audible.
ScummVM is now back on my phone. I was one of the backers for Double Fine's Adventure game on Kickstarter. I enjoy these things. It was possible with webOS, and now is again.
Things are far from perfect on my Android transition. I have to periodically hit the optimize button to close down rogue apps. I had to get a 3500 mAh battery to make my phone last a day. But things are better.
P.S. I found out that Zune doesn't want me to go. I cancelled our Zune Pass. Luckily, I had a card stolen and cancelled that card as well. Now I get an email periodically about how the card is bad. How they can't charge a monthly fee for a service I cancelled over 2 weeks ago. Zune, you may not be able to quit me, but we are quitting you.

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
If you don't know how to do it, I'll show you how to walk the dog. . .

While I'm not going to speculate about the name of the mystery chain restaurant that wants approval to build in Burleigh Square (near Lowes, Office Max, Aldi, and some mediocre steak-and-shakes kind of place the name of which escapes me), I can tell you what it will add to Tosa.
Another spike in the coffin of looking like every other commercial strip-dominated city in the country.
For the last couple weeks, I've been working in Door County. Around Ephraim, there's nary a franchise to be seen. Ok: there's a BP gas station. But aside from that, it's a McDonald's/Applebee's-free zone.
And that's one of the reasons people love to go there. Everything is new and different -- or old and different. (Al Johnson's still has a goat-worthy roof.) Smaller, owned by individuals who live there (at least part of the year). Looking at the nonstandard storefronts delights the eye. And your brain has to work just a little bit to process things because there's not already a groove worn deep where the ubiquitous all-the-same-all-the-time-everywhere thoughts connect.
There is nothing "delicate" about negotiations with a national chain whose stores employ 15 people and do mostly carryout food service. It's just business as usual.
The Plan Commision and the mayor are right to resist approving mystery projects. I imagine eventually they'll go ahead and approve it anyway, figuring the area is already doomed. . .I mean, already has the franchise "style" stamped on it.
But if we want Tosa to stay unique, desirable, and a little upscale (not to mention remain a place we'd all like to continue living), it might be better to put the brakes on all franchise restaurants now.
You still won't have to go far for that sub or burrito.
Just say no to ugly communications towers
It's unfashionable to question anything that has the word "security" attached to it.
So I won't ask whether the city needs a security tower to house cameras turned on Hart Park, the water tower, and city hall, even if I might wonder why. Which I do. But I digress.
Free enterprise: whose freedom are we talking about?
The proliferation of fast food restaurants and how they can alter and diminish a community is a hot topic. It hit a nerve in Milwaukee Journal Sentinel readers as it did for readers of this blog. Reader Eileen sent me a heads-up about a Subway franchise that wants in to Sister Bay in Door County, although most residents and visitors emphatically don't want it there.
Others see it differently. JK wrote:
Wow, such a visceral reaction here. It seems to be a bit of an overaction. If people are so adverse to it, can't they just do there what they can do anywhere - which is to not patronize the establishment?
I feel sure the business wouldn't survive without customers.
It is after all the free enterprise system.
The free enterprise system is "Business governed by the laws of supply and demand, not restrained by government interference, regulation or subsidy. Also called free market."
There's plenty supply, but is there a demand for Subway in Sister Bay? Mainly by the business owner, apparently. If he builds it, will they come? Who knows? If it's successful, the endless call for competition in unmoderated free enterprise means more franchises. If it's not, the town is left with the shell of a cast-off business, like so many Arthur Treachers and Country Kitchens that have littered the byways.
There's something a little unequal in the freedoms promised by the free enterprise system. A business gets to do what it wants and thinks will work. And individuals get to buy or refrain from buying. That's precious little power, unless people buy or refrain in droves.
Government interference on a national or even a state level justly makes people uncomfortable. But what happens when people in a community can't decide how they want to shape that community? That seems to be another issue entirely.
Of course, I'd have a different notion if the Gibralter school district in Door County were banning books or buying history books that reconstruct American history Texas-school-board-style.
Free Enterprise is also a movie. I haven't seen it but it's going on the Netflix list. William Shatner's in it, along with a film editor for films like Teen Bimbo Beach Assault and a screenplay writer working on a story "about a serial killer who murders the characters from the Brady bunch. The movie. . .spends most of its time with their floundering love lives, suggesting that their pop-culture programming may not be the best model for life."
The free market zealots say "just change the channel if you don't like the pop culture programming." But sometimes, every channel has stuff that's not good for you.

Spring 2012: Theyskens' Theory, Francesc by Frank Tell, Sophie Theallet, Bibhu Mohapatra
FirstView View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Theyskens' Theory
Uptown crystal embroidered jackets and downtown double-waistband slouchy jeans. That was the formula for Theyskens' Theory Spring 2012, an impressive street-smart showing from Olivier Theyskens. "I wanted to do looks for cool girls. It's not a look for an actress," clarified the raven-haired Frenchman. "It's a look for the rock and roll girls on the street." That look included drop-crotch denim balanced with tweed jackets and gritty knit cardis, along with knit mini dresses, a black grosgrain backless gown, and casual short 'n' jacket combos, all of which were offset with the newest silhouette to hit denim—the faux sag, slouch jean with a double waistband. But, don't confuse them with the pair in your boyfriend's closet. "It's not her boyfriend's jeans. It's hers. I like when my jeans fall a little bit, but I don't like when you see underwear so these jeans stay on the body and silhouette nicely but still give you that low-slung feeling." After a series of early career setbacks, Theyskens has finally found his calling at Theory.
Francesc by Frank Tell
Frank Tell may be young (24!), but his Francesc by Frank Tell collection was all grown up. "My inspiration for Spring stemmed from something raw and erotic," explained the young prodigy, who has designed five successful collections since 2007 under his eponymous line, Frank Tell. This new direction was a step forward for the designer who wanted to offer his growing customer-base a more luxe, ornamental line. Yesterday morning, Spring saw Fall's exotic skins reimagined with raw-edged alligator motos (a Tell staple) and sheer crème python and lace zip jackets. His multi-yarn knits were reworked into white or black body-skimming sweaters with sexy back cut-outs and swinging fishtail skirts. Similarly, sheer lace peplum suiting got a touch of naughty with tie-up detailing at the waist or elbow. "Persistence pays off," said Tell backstage. "I've always wanted to be a designer and I've finally made it."
Sophie Theallet
Bad girl sexpot Bonnie Parker played muse to Sophie Theallet for Fall, but the quintessentially French designer had her eye on the 1969 film, La Piscine, this season. As expected, there was no shortage of playful dresses, Theallet's bread and butter. An electric bright tangerine and turquoise cutout gown opened the show followed by a suit of like-printed floor-dusters and their shorter daywear counterparts. Color-blocked silk camis and office-ready shirtdresses also made a strong showing, alongside pleated belly-button skimming skirts and relaxed day-or-night trousers. From board meetings to the boardwalk, Theallet has it covered.
Bibhu Mohapatra
Late '70s and early '80s poloroids from Helmut Newton offered Bibhu Mohapatra a starting point for Spring's elegant undertaking. "Newton's woman and my woman have the same sense of confidence and I wanted to showcase that with a lot of sheer inserts, utilizing the skin as an accessory," shared the designer at his presentation. In the eveningwear category, where Mohapatra shines best, floor-sweeping gowns (washed in lavender, tangerine, azure, and fresh pink) were adorned with asymmetrical crystal straps, floral embroidery, and a soft chain-link motifs. A lavender crepe gown with silver detailing and sheer inset skirt capitalized on the Newton-Mohapatra confidence and set the tone for red carpet dressing. Ditto for the ultra pink dress with cutout shoulders and bone chiffon cummerbund. Broadening his repertoire this season, the purveyor of nighttime dressing crafted superb mix and match medlies from satin camis and pleated mousseline gypsy pants to tailored gabardine trousers paired with a lavender crepe blouse and kid suede tux jacket. Flawless as always.

Attend this live webcast to learn how to use cloud computing as a surprisingly effective technique to solve the security, performance, user experience, and cost issues plaguing enterprises in providing mobile access to enterprise applications today.
You know the conventional wisdom: if you're using mobile devices, the best way to secure enterprise application data is some combination of locked-down devices and strong data security measures. However, both IT and users know the truth: these approaches ratchet up hidden costs while killing user experience and productivity, all in the name of avoiding data leakage.
In the webcast, we'll show how IT can enable both secure application data and a UX that employees rave about through the use of a cloud-based architecture. You'll learn about:

Gelfand-Anand G6, another Chebanenko Semi-Slav, drawn after 29 moves (VIDEO with Kasparov)
Game 6 in the World Championship match between Boris Gelfand and Viswanathan Anand ended in a draw as well. Anand repeated his Chebanenko Semi-Slav and Gelfand tried something different on move 6. He won a pawn, but didn't see a way to finish his development without giving it back quickly. After a few accurate moves by Anand a drawn rook ending came on the board.
Saturday is a rest day. The score is 3-3 at half time; six more games are scheduled in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.
The trend hasn't changed yet, and the draws just keep coming! Also in the 6th match game we didn't see fireworks, but two well prepared gentlemen playing moves on a high level and Black (Anand) putting up another good defence to hold the balance. Whether you like it or not, this is the chess that's being played between Gelfand and Anand, two players who continue to be very cautious. The nightmare scenario of twelve draws followed by a tiebreak is getting more realistic by the day...
Again a Chebanenko/Semi-Slav came on the board, and Gelfand deviated from his first two white games, by switching to 6.Qc2 instead of 6.b3. Anand sacrificed a pawn, which was most probably still part of his preparation, and then Gelfand quickly returned the favour.
I calculated some lines but I didn't see a way to bring out my pieces [and keep the pawn].
The 6th day in Moscow, however, was dominated by the presence of Garry Kasparov. It's quite telling to see that, seven years after his retirement, the 13th World Champion still attracts more attention from spectators and journalists than Anand and Gelfand. Just after the game started, Kasparov gave a 50-minute press conference and more media were present than ever before.
He started by repeating what he had said before the match: that for the first time in a long period, the World Championship match had nothing to do with a fight for the title of best player in the world. Confronted with this statement, Anand said he "didn't have time" to deal with these things. Gelfand felt that Kasparov merely wanted to remind people how good he was. You can see all this in the video below.
After the press conference, Kasparov joined the commentary team to share his thoughts on the official website. He was especially critical – or rather disappointed – of Anand.
It is not the number of tournament wins — I can't remember when Vishy last won a tournament — but the sparkle in his eyes. Even in 2010 in some games you could see the spark of genius but in most games he was struggling.
Then, Kasparov gave a simul to about twenty talented kids, very talented in fact. They had actually qualified for the simul by winning different youth events. Normally Kasparov doesn't play opponents rated above about 2000 Elo, but it was clear that several kids were actually stronger than that, and Garry Kimovich was clearly struggling.
Saturday is a rest day; on Sunday Gelfand will have White again because the colors are reversed at half-time.

During the interview did GM Kasparov (who is too quick to criticize, so slow to compliment) mention DRAWng his first EIGHT GAMES and losing the the 9th to Wch Anand in the1995 WCC?

Good memory and I was surprised no-one else had brought that up yet. Of course that WCC was massively helped by top chess pundit Peter Snow repeatedly asking everyone he could find, 'is this boring?...another draw, this must be boring, no?....draw again, is this BORING, BORING, BORING yet?'.
Right. It sucks ... a fiitting conclusion to a dreadfully conceived candidate cycle that resulted in the same type of pathetic disgust. In practical terms, this is a match between someone near bottom of the top ten against someone near the bottom of the top 20. Anand, sadly, is well past his brilliant peak. Anyone who disputes that Carlsen and Aronian would be scoring some full points against either of these contenders is in a strenuous state of denial of the obvious. Kramnic too is in better form than Anand, is far more talented than Gelfand and, in general, Vlad is playing more imaginatively these days than either of these contenders.
I am a big fan of Carslen and Aronian, but there's no reason to expect that they'd do any better in this match. For one thing, they have little match experience. Higher ratings reflect that they're better at beating weaker players in tournaments, but a match is a different story -- and for that matter, it's a better story. In terms of a "strenuous state of denial," we are in very recent history where Aronian drew Kramnik in a very short, carefree match, and Kramnik lost a relatively short, for-the-marbles match against Anand.
"Higher ratings reflect that they're better at beating weaker players in tournaments.."
Not at all. Carlsen and Aronion both have stellar records against the very best in the world.
I suggest to stop the match here, give both players $ 1000 and flip a coin to decide the winner. Then we ask Carlsen and Aronian to play a 6 game match with the rest of the prize money at stake.
To avoid such a scenario, we could ask Gelfand and Anand to exchange blunders in the next two games: some people are sooo desperate for decisive results.
what is the rapid games format if all the classical matches are draw?
1 year 11 months ago
Neither one of them has earned the right to play for the championship!

What is the probability that 7th game will be a draw when 6 previous games were draws. :)
1 year 11 months ago
In a recent interview Kramnik jockingly said that the only way he could beat Anand in their 2009 match, being as out-prepared as he was , was maybe drawing all games to the 10th, the game he won. Gelfand saw that and thought "Bingo! Thank you Volodya!" , threw a party in celebration to finding Anand's fatal weakness and came to this match armed with draws! :PP
1 year 11 months ago
I was following the game via official website along with houdini's analysis. Amazing is that both players play exact lines as houdini predicts at 20-25 depthes ! How can they do that ?!
It must be because they are not as strong as Carlsen and Aronian.
I'm kidding, of course.
Because the game followed home preparation and was a dead draw before the 20th move, Anand would have used more than ten minutes by then if he wasn't just following a prepared line, while Gelfand is happy to get a risk free position that gets him closer to a tiebreak.
1 year 11 months ago
The match has been fixed and the players are just playing out moves that have been agreed upon the night before !
Because they are both - surprise - strong players.
Something is wrong with chess, and I can not tell you what is it (for the moment).
@zeblakov But, I can tell you what's wrong with chess. its people like you who follow it and litter decent blogs like this with your rubbish.
Chess would be better off with out you, w/out the likes of you. :-)
Levon Aronian's tweet was interesting and very apt, "World Championship matches should be taken as a single game of chess.First you develop, then you try to find a weak spot, then you attack."

I didn't really care that much or look forward to this match and now I know why...
If you don't care, why do you (maybe) read the report and post a comment? In general, people complain about a boring match but each game thread gets 50+ comments. How many would we have if the games were crowd-pleasing and decisive? Quite possibly less, there would be no recurrent "Sofia rules needed", "We want Carlsen and Aronian" and "The US Championship is far more exciting" ... .
Empirical evidence: Game 3, the most interesting one so far, got the lowest number of comments.
1 year 11 months ago
Good observation , Thomas. Obviously , the temptation to whine is too strong , if only they could vary that old tune a bit. Extremely repetitive stuff.
Another piece of blowhard analysis from this self professed mastermind....must have had a hemorage thinking this one up...about as backwards as everything else he spouts.
It seems to me that the 4.e3 line or for the matter 4.Nf3 e6 5.e3 might go completely out of fashion due to this hybrid semi-slav-chebanenko variation. Gelfand might just be forced to get his Bc1 out to g5 and attempt the Moscow, Botvinnik or the Anti-Moscow lines. We might just see that on Sunday, unless Gelfands want to completely abandon 1.d4.
1 year 11 months ago
W-ch matches have to be longer, otherwise there's the risk of players 'not taking any risks' as in this match. 12 games is too short.
FIDE shouldn't have fixed what wasn't broken
i think they both are playing accuratley. like two computers playing..
1 year 11 months ago
Someone, please, step in and stop this match right now. It's a yawnfest that's going to destroy the reputations of these two players forever. Anand will be viewed as the worst word champion ever for this insipid stuff. Gelfand? He's a journeyman, nothing more.
1 year 11 months ago
To beat Anand, Gelfand should inspire himself with this link:
Mister Doggers, as you are on scene, could you please ask the players if they are embarrassed towards spectators with their play so far?
1 year 11 months ago
In case of a match draw after G12, the WC should maintain his title, and not to play some more rapid matches. Then the challenger would be forced to play for win and take more risks, instead of presenting at the board just the result of his computer home prep.

" Much like the Christmas ornaments (#13843), this is a nice quality gift that looks good with the personalization. I created a frame to hold a picture of our three cats. (The preview photo fills in a sample picture but shows what your frame will look like.) One tip is to play with the order of the names that you put on the frame. Changing the order changes how/where they are placed on the frame. Some layouts look better than others, especially if you want certain names highlighted. Makes a great gift. Always impressed with the quality of the items from this website. "
