The Monthly GNU Column
Brave GNU World
This column explores the world of free software from the perspective of the GNU Project and the FSF. In this issue,we focus on:The Java Trap,GNU Classpath,development in Java, and news from the FSFE.
Welcome to another issue of the Brave GNU World. The focus this month is Java; we will look at the subject of freedom and, more specifically, at the efforts to establish a free Java infrastructure. Freedom in Chains? To judge from the number of email messages I received from irate readers in response to my discussion of the Mindmapping Software Freemind, I seem to have trodden on a few people's toes. The reason for the flames was a statement that Freemind, like many other programs, is thoughtlessly based on a non-free Java implementation, which endangers the freedom of the software.

Two of the most exciting fighters in the featherweight division, Duke Roufus-trained fighter Erik Koch and fellow featherweight Cub Swanson have verbally agreed to face each other on July 2nd at UFC 132 according to UFC.com. Cub Swanson was supposed to face Erik Koch at UFC on Versus 3, but Swanson was forced out ouf the bout with an injury.
The month of March started off with a bang this weekend as WEC 47 delivered on multiple levels. Not only did it provide fans with a lot of talking points in terms of the bantamweight title picture, but the card had a plethora of upset victories, surprising finishes, and exciting action.
WEC 47: Dominick Cruz vs. Brian Bowles predictions from the BloodyElbow.com staff.
In our first preview of this weekend's action, WEC 47 will be our main focus as the event will be headlined by an intriguing bantamweight championship showdown between Dominick Cruz (14-1, 4-1 WEC) and Brian Bowles (8-0, 5-0 WEC). This will be Bowles' first defense of his crown since defeating Miguel Torres back in August of 2009.

Full Rack of Baby Back Ribs, $14.99. Monday Special, 10.99
One of the best places we have been to in Sanford – My husband and I have been to the Ale house twice after a recommendation from a very good friend and we received great service and the food was wonderful. We highly recommend this place!!! We will be going every week from now on and I know we will not be disappointed!
Stay Far Away!!! – The first time I gave this branch my money was for a take out order of wings. The wings were absolutely terrible!!! It was as though they boiled the wings until they were half cooked then tossed them in sauce. Thinking this experience was a one of, I foolishly decided to go back today and try the wings again. Only this time, I would eat in and maybe things would be better. After filling our drink order, the waiter disappeared for about 30 minutes. When he appeared to take the drink order of the people in the booth behind us, we tried to get his attention but were ignored. When he returned to fill the drink order we tried to get his attention and again were ignored. Loosing patience, we spoke to a passing waiter and requested the manager come over. After about 10 minutes, we spoke to another waiter and requested the manager come over. Our waiter finally arrived with a plate of cold wings and we requested to speak to the manager. We sat there for about five minutes, hungrily staring at a plate of cold food before the manager showed up. He told us the meal would be comped, took our wings back and returned with warm wings that needed to be cooked a little longer but at this point our lunch had taken us about one and a half hour and we were too hungry to care.
Unpretentious, stick-to-your-ribs food prepared in a haven for sports fanatics. – The Scene
The Ale House is one of the state's mini-chains. All share the same basic menu, decor and commitment to tasty, far-from-fancy food. The decor is reminiscent of a sports bar, with bench-like seats and thick wooden tables. TVs are hung throughout, although the noise level remains tolerable.
The Food
Start off with the deep-fried conch fritters, a taste of Key West. The Ale House Combo--a platter of potato skins, conch fritters, fried mushrooms, mozzarella sticks and sauces--feeds a crowd. The chicken nachos are a rather bland mountain of chips under a lava slide of cheese. The baby back ribs are generously portioned, fall-off-the-bone tender and smothered in a tangy sauce. Another good bet for dinner is the blackened prime-rib sandwich. The burgers are big and juicy. The brownie hot fudge sundae is the star of the small dessert menu.

Canadian Tire Cup Holder
One advantage car drivers have over cyclists during the morning commute is the ability to sip a cup of coffee/joe/java/liquid cocaine during their ride, but not anymore. Canadian Tire began stocking wares from what appears to be a new company called Everyday and one of Everyday's new products is the Traveler Handlebar Cup Holder. At $7.99 this simple contraption beats the price of other similar products such as the Felt Café Coffee Cup Holder which retails in the $20′s and looks eerily similar.
Using a single bolt, the Cup Holder mounts onto most handlebars allowing riders the option of carrying their coffee with them. The mount does not fit every handlebar out there, but it will fit the common 25.4mm handlebar used on mountain bikes and hybrids as well as 26mm handlebars on some road bikes. Don't bother trying to fit it on any 31.8mm OS (Oversized) bars, though. The ring is one-size fits most so it may not be able to fit every coffee cup or mug (adding one of those tree-wasting hand protector thingies may help). Bikeroo recommends you use a re-usable coffee mug as it not only helps the environment, but since it is sealable, it prevents any unnecessary spillage as you hit a pot hole or hop a curb. Another possible issue is interference with your cable housing. As you can see in the image below the Cup Holder was installed facing the rider instead of away so as to not interfere with the cable routing.
During my initial test-ride, the Cup Holder did a fantastic job keeping a medium sized, Tim Horton's Iced Cappuccino in place. Despite running over some potholes and sewer grates the drink remained upright with no spillage. Unfortunately, when hopping off a side-walk curb I did spill some of my Iced Capp (again, opting for a re-usable mug is ideal).
Overall, the product is definitely worth the money, especially if you want to enjoy your morning brew like our commuter counterparts in their cars or on the subway. Despite its limitations in versatility it's a welcome addition to any commuter bike and just makes the morning ride a bit more awesome.

What a cool thing for you package to be packed in. A bonus toy. So fun!
How fun! I've never seen them before! Very cute!
Have a good one!
Your house must be the funnest in town with all the crafts and art you do!
We have these at school. I HAVE to remember to get them out!

text: Report Calls on Agribusiness to Improve Supply Chain Rabobank report examines limitations of current system, options for improvement Published on: Mar 7, 2013 Rabobank this week published a new research report looking at the current food and agriculture supply chain, identifying flaws that they say leave the sector ill-equipped to respond to new complexities, specifically calling on the industry to transform the way supply chains are organized. Rabobank identifies a dedicated supply chain model as the best step for F&A companies to take, and recommends the adoption of longer-term supply agreements and cooperative relationships with suppliers and marketers. In the report, authored by Rabobank's global Food & Agribusiness Research and Advisory, the bank's analysts look at how the operating environment for F&A companies is becoming increasingly complex, as new external influences compound traditional pressures such as rising commodity prices. Rabobank report examines limitations of current system, options for improvement Rabobank says that the dedicated supply chain model has potential to revolutionize the F&A industry by making it more productive, innovative, safe and sustainable. The bank's report stresses that all of these outcomes are vital if the sector is to deliver food security to a future global population of 9 billion. Limitations of the current structure Rabobank says that supply and demand dynamics, a growing population, and rising commodity prices are being compounded by a new set of external influences. The direct use of commodities for biofuel, for example, has sparked an ongoing food vs. fuel debate. Similarly, speculation in commodity markets and the regulatory responses this has triggered from governments worldwide have added to the complexity of the environment in which the F&A sector operates. These new pressures also serve to exacerbate the flaws in the current supply chain model, Rabobank says. The dominant supply chain model is currently structured in a linear fashion, in which suppliers, processors and retailers form short-term partnerships independent from the influence and interests of other members of the chain. This model is highly inefficient, Rabobank's report maintains, restricting F&A companies' ability to respond to changes in supply and demand dynamics, limiting productivity and restricting innovation. Adding value through closer cooperation Rabobank believes that switching to a new supply chain model – the dedicated supply chain – has the potential to transform the F&A industry. In a dedicated supply chain structure, upstream suppliers and processors enter into long-term partnerships with each other and a downstream partner. Justin Sherrard, Rabobank Global Strategist, says closer cooperation of this sort will "transform the nature of F&A partnerships from transactional ones that are centered around chasing price, to a system focused on creating value." Rabobank speculates that the companies embracing this thinking will result in reduced risk, improved productivity, access to new markets, enhanced brand and reputation and improved access to capital. Making the change Rabobank's report encourages the industry to abandon its preoccupation with short-term price spikes. Rabobank believes that a model based on chasing price is a narrow approach that will restrict the ability of F&A companies to realize their growth objectives in this more complex and demanding environment. The report calls for prominent F&A brands to create initiatives that will lead to cooperation between their upstream partners. Furthermore, Rabobank believes that sector leaders undertaking such initiatives must become advocates for dedicated supply chains. Barry Parkin, Mars Global Chocolate Procurement and Sustainability Head, says his company has already taken these steps. "Mars believes that closer cooperation, both up the supply chain with suppliers, origin governments and NGO's, and across the supply chain with other manufacturers, is critical to achieving the cocoa industry's growth and sustainability goals," Parkin said. "Through Mars' Sustainable Cocoa Initiative, we are actively engaging with all parties in an effort to drive a step change in farmers' cocoa yield, which is the key to driving economic, social and environmental sustainability. We have already demonstrated with our partners up the supply chain that a 3-fold increase in yield is realistic."

With the 2008/09 season-opening production of La Traviata set to open on Friday, September 26, we're happy to share some of the most powerful moments of the production! Photos courtesy Cory Weaver.
Act I. Love blooms between Violetta (soprano Maria Kanyova) and Alfredo (tenor Richard Troxell).
Act I. But suddenly Violetta has second thoughts about giving up her lively world and sings the famous "Sempre Libera."
Act II. She eventually gives in to that love, sharing her life with Alfredo, only to hear from Alfredo's father (baritone Richard Zeller) that she must abandon that love.
Act II. Alfredo gets the same message from his father.
Act III. And so the two have parted ways. But in this powerful scene, the lovers reunite. Alas, Violetta is clearly very ill.
More information about La Traviata here.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 19, 2008 CONTACT: Julia Sheridan, 503-295-3508 PORTLAND OPERA'S 2008 ELEANOR LIEBER AWARD WINNER ANNOUNCED They came from as far away as New York to vie for $25,000 in prize money. Eleven finalists, selected from over 30 singers heard in the Saturday preliminary round, entertained an appreciative house in the Portland Opera Studio at The Hampton Opera Center on Sunday, May 18. After an exhilarating weekend of singing, soprano Angela Meade from Philadelphia walked away with the first prize and the check for $10,000. Ms. Meade, aged 30, currently studies at the Academy of Vocal Arts in Philadelphia and was one of the six winners of the national level 2007 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions. The second and third place prizes were combined to create two second place prizes of $4000 each. The winners were 29-year-old mezzo soprano Margaret Gawrysiak from Geneseo, IL and 26-year-old soprano Elizabeth Baldwin from Bloomington, IN. It was a good day for the Portland Opera Studio Artists. The Audience Favorite Award of $1000 went to tenor Brendan Tuohy. Soprano Sharin Apostolou and bass Jeffrey G. Beruan both received an Encouragement Award of $1000 each. The Eleanor Lieber Awards were begun in 1980 to provide cash study awards for outstanding young vocalists between the ages of 23 and 35. Originally open to singers from the Northwest, the Awards have been expanded to include all U.S. citizens. Through Ms. Lieber's vision and generous patronage, an endowment fund was created to provide continuing support for the development of opera singers well into the future. Established upon her death in 1990, the fund is managed by the Oregon Community Foundation. Judges for this year's Eleanor Lieber Awards were American baritone Richard Zeller, artist manager Robert Gilder, and General Director of Tacoma Opera, Kathryn Smith.

WARNING: The Rackspace Private Cloud offering is being updated, and this documentation is obsolete.
Table of Contents
OpenStack Object Storage (http://swift.openstack.org) is a highly available, distributed, consistent object/blob store. The OpenStack Object Storage Administration Manual includes a sample architecture diagram, which may be useful for you to refer to.
OpenStack Object Storage can be used standalone to provide services similar to Rackspace Cloud Files (http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/public/files/) for an organization.
OpenStack Object Storage integrates well with the compute layer and can be used as a backend for glance, providing an inexpensive, horizontally scalable store for all image and snapshot data. OpenStack Object Storage is not a block storage solution; block storage is provided by the Cinder project. It will not provide volumes that can be mounted by instances and does not directly provide disk space for the virtual machine instances in the cluster.
This document describes the process of installing and configuring a swift cluster for use inside of an existing Alamo cluster, including optional integration with glance.
Zones are a fundamental concept in OpenStack Object Storage. They are the primary means for an end user to isolate failure. OpenStack Object Storage creates three replicas of an object and distribute them across the cluster, attempting to keep each copy in a different zone. http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/overview_ring.html provides more information regarding the specifics of this algorithm.
Zones are arbitrarily assigned, and it is up to the administrator of the swift cluster to choose an isolation level and attempt to maintain the isolation level through appropriate zone assignment. The administrator ensures that each zone contains an equal number of nodes, and swift ensures that each object is distributed across three zones. In the event of a single zone failure, at most one replica would be lost, leaving two replicas available.
In small clusters (five nodes or fewer), each individual node counts as a single zone. Larger swift deployments may assign zone designations differently; for example, an entire cabinet of servers may be designated as a single zone to maintain replica availability if the cabinet becomes unavailable (for example, due to failure of the top of rack switches or a dedicated circuit). In very large deployments, such as service provider level deployments, each zone might have an entirely autonomous switching and power infrastructure, so that even the loss of a circuit or aggregator would result in the loss of a single replica at most.
The level of resilience is decided entirely by the administrator and requires the administrator to choose zone placement with car. Choosing zones properly makes maintenance easier; you can perform work on an entire zone without significantly impacting the operations of swift. Choosing zones poorly can make life very difficult.
For ease of maintenance on OpenStack Object Storage, Rackspace recommends that you set up at least five nodes. Each node will be assigned its own zone (for a total of five zones), which will give you host level redundancy. This allows you to take down a single zone for maintenance and still guarantee object availability in the event that another zone fails during your maintenance.
You could keep each server in its own cabinet to achieve cabinet level isolation, but you may wish to wait until your swift service is better established before developing cabinet-level isolation. OpenStack Object Storage is flexible; if you later decide to change the isolation level, you can take down one zone at a time and move them to appropriate new homes.
OpenStack Object Storage does not require RAID. In fact, most RAID configurations cause significant performance degradation. The main reason for using a RAID controller is the battery backed cache. It is very important for data integrity reasons that when the operating system confirms a write has been committed that the write has actually been committed to a persistent location. Most disks lie about hardware commits by default, instead writing to a faster write cache for performance reasons. In most cases, that write cache exists only in non-persistent memory. In the case of a loss of power, this data may never actually get committed to disk, resulting in discrepancies that the underlying filesystem must handle.
OpenStack Object Storage works best on the XFS file system, and this document assumes that the hardware being used is configured appropriately to be mounted with the
nobarriers option. For more information, refer to the XFS FAQ: http://xfs.org/index.php/XFS_FAQ
To get the most out of your hardware, it is essential that every disk used in OpenStack Object Storage is configured as a standalone, individual RAID 0 disk; in the case of 6 disks, you would have six RAID 0s or one JBOD. Some RAID controllers do not support JBOD or do not support battery backed cache with JBOD. To ensure the integrity of your data, you must ensure that the individual drive caches are disabled and the battery backed cache in your RAID card is configured and used. Failure to configure the controller properly in this case puts data at risk in the case of sudden loss of power.
You can also use hybrid drives or similar options for battery backed up cache configurations without a RAID controller.

Clara's hands were shaking as she put on her running shoes. Jack stood in the kitchen with his back to her. Their angry words still hovered in the air, even though all was silent.
"I'm going running. I don't know when I'll be back." Clara spit the words out.
Jack turned and started to speak to her, but she yelled, "Don't say anything. You have no idea what this feels like!" Jack shrugged and walked towards the bedroom.
Tears filled Clara's eyes. She ignored them. Instead, she jumped up, stuck her phone and keys into her jacket and slammed the door as she left.
Not bothering to warm up, she took off running. The street was littered with leaves and twigs from the recent thunderstorms, reminding Clara of the tree branch in the park. She always checked it after a storm.
When she got to the park, it was empty. Relief flooded through her. She couldn't take hearing the children laughing and the squeak of swings. She ran until the tightness inside her eased and slowed to a stop, gulping in the cool air.
She walked the rest of the way to a stand of pine trees. Breathing in the fresh smell of these tall giants comforted Clara. Her footsteps were soundless on the soft ground covered in brown pine needles. Above her, the trees whispered as the wind combed its way through their high branches.
She stopped in front of one the trees and stared at a branch hanging awkwardly from the tree, like a wounded arm. With a huge gouge in its bark, she marveled again at how it survived, storm after storm.
She always expected to see it down on the ground, but it never was. Over the years, the gouge wasn't repaired, but the branch seemed to survive in spite of it.
Clara smiled. For a second, she forgot the sudden bleeding, the rush to the hospital, the silent heartbeat and the unbearable sadness that had haunted her for weeks.
She thought about Jack and how he'd tried to help her. She'd been pushing him away, but she needed him, like the branch needed the tree. While he couldn't heal the gouge in her heart, he could help by sharing the weight of the grief.
When Clara returned at home and opened the door, Jack was waiting for her. He said, "I'm sorry Clara. The loss of our baby hurts me too. Please don't shut me out."
He looked beaten, his shoulders slumped and his face pale. This time, Clara didn't hesitate. She walked into her husband's arms whispering, "We'll survive this together."
* * * * *
Your Challenge Question:
What about you? What helps you survive during difficult times?
NOTE: This fiction story was inspired by the real tree branch in the picture. I usually walk by it on my neighborhood walk and marvel that it has survived countless storms for many years. Eventually, it may fall, but it makes me think of how I have survived a difficult time by hanging on and riding out the storm:~)

Kazan is a very talented person. Ruby Sparks is one of 2012's finest films (I saw an early screening a few weeks back) and Kazan not only dazzles on-screen, but the writing is genuine and thought provoking. Ruby Sparks isn't some thrown together Rom-Com, it's a well thought out and imaginative take on the psychology of relationships. Kudos to you Zoe

This course will consider the fundamental legal principles affecting labor relations in the private sector workplace. These principles are incorporated in the National Labor Relations Act, as amended. The Act was passed in 1935 at a time of severe economic strife, and proved to be of great help to labor organizing and to increased union strength. Major amendments to the Act in 1947 significantly limited that benefit, and contributed to the decline of union power in the U.S. The Act, however, remains a tool available to those who wish to promote greater unionization, and also has provided the template for public sector labor relations statutes throughout the country. The course will emphasize the collective bargaining process and related topics, including labor-management negotiations, strikes and lockouts, picketing, secondary boycotts, arbitration, federal preemption, and individual employee rights in the labor-management context. There is no prerequisite for the course.
Since 1988, the instructor has been an arbitrator and mediator specializing in labor and employment cases, and a member of the National Academy of Arbitrators. Previously, the instructor was an administrative law judge in the labor law field in the 1980's and a staff attorney with the United Farm Workers Union in the 1970's. He has served on the adjunct faculty at Berkeley Law since 1985, and at the University of Michigan Law School from 2004 to 2009.

Listeria infections (known as listeriosis) are caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes.
Infection is uncommon, but when it does occur it most frequently affects pregnant women in their last trimester, newborns, and kids and adults whose immunity is weakened by diseases such as cancer or HIV. People who have had various types of transplants are also more at risk for listeriosis.
Listeria bacteria can be transmitted through soil and water. A person can also ingest listeria by eating certain foods, such as deli meats and cold cuts, soft-ripened cheese, milk, undercooked chicken, uncooked hot dogs, shellfish, and coleslaw made from contaminated cabbage. Many cases of infection, however, have no identifiable source.
Listeria infections may create symptoms such as fever, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, difficulty breathing, and poor feeding. Pregnant women who develop listeriosis may experience only mild flu-like symptoms, but they are at risk for premature delivery, miscarriage, and stillbirth.
Listeria can cause a wide range of infections, including gastroenteritis (vomiting and diarrhea also called the "stomach flu"), bacteremia (bacterial infection in the blood), meningitis, pneumonia, osteomyelitis (infection in the bone), and endocarditis.
People who have weakened immune systems are at particular risk for developing the more serious illnesses from listeriosis, including pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis.
Cases of listeriosis are relatively uncommon. The earlier listeriosis is detected and treated, the better, since it can cause serious and life-threatening infection. And particularly if you are pregnant or in one of the other high-risk groups, avoiding certain foods and beverages can reduce your risk of contracting this infection.
Listeriosis is usually treated with antibiotics administered in the hospital through an intravenous catheter (IV). Typically, treatment lasts for about 10 days but that can vary depending on the body's ability to fight off the infection.
Children whose immune systems are compromised by illness or infection, such as cancer or HIV, are more likely to develop severe listeriosis infections and may require additional treatment.
In healthy individuals with gastroenteritis due to Listeria, the symptoms often last only 2 days and the person recovers completely.
Although there are no vaccines against the bacteria that cause listeriosis, you can help reduce the risk for your family by taking these food safety precautions:
Call your doctor immediately if your child develops rapid or labored breathing, fever, poor feeding, vomiting, dehydration, a high-pitched cry, lethargy (excessive sleepiness), or irritability. If your child has listeriosis, the doctor can rule out any other illnesses and start treatment.

There are two types of teachers online:
- Ethical teachers with quality courses and affordable support options
- Manipulative marketers trying to grab as much money as they can
If you haven't opted into a lot of free courses and email lists, you may not have seen this. But the norm in the online teaching industry is a bit seedy. After a while, it seems like everybody is promoting the same people over and over again in hyped up after hyped up launch. Each of these courses moves a few people forward a bit, but never makes the big difference in your life or business that they promised or implied in the hype.
Teachers: I invite you to show us your students' results and prove me wrong.
As someone who has bought infoproducts from $300 – $2,000, joined membership groups and even attended some live events, I can tell you that I'm disgruntled with the way a lot of gurus conduct themselves.
Here's the worst of what I've seen:
- Gurus showing off fancy cars in their videos
- Products that cost $2,000
- Coaches that charge $10,000 per month
- Programs that give you four weeks of material and then the teachers disappear unless you opt to pay one of these super high monthly fees
- Teachers who promote each others' programs without knowing the quality of the material ahead of time
Is That Really Your Ferrari, Or Did You Just Rent It?
The only way I find it believable is if you show me other really expensive stuff you own. There's only one guy who does this that I've ever believed actually owned the car he was driving.
And it doesn't matter- this is symptomatic of the biggest problem in this space.
The teachers that talk about results usually are appealing to people who are vulnerable to the Get Rich Quick mentality.
It's a shame that we often have to choose between academic types that don't talk about results and guys who want to get rich while you max out yet another credit card.
High Priced Products
Yes, this is the fastest way to get rich IF you can reach 50,000 people with your offer, but most people can't do that. You might be able to do that if you play the JV game that requires you to promote the bigger guys first. And yes, you often have to promote it without knowing how good it is. It's call brown-nosing… something I've never been good at.
Most businesses will not pay $2,000 for an infoproduct. They might pay that for onsite training. They might pay $500. They might spend thousands sending employees to a conference. And there's a reason why conferences choose keynoters who work at big, famous companies. They want to make sure the investment is worth it.
The people who pay for these $2,000 products are entrepreneurs and Get Rick Quick addicts.
I don't know how gurus that do this get repeat customers. Some of their students may succeed enough to buy more courses, but there's a noticeable lack of gurus talking about students who get results. It seems more likely that their customers have maxed out credit cards and/or a spouse with a real job.
So if you want to help real businesses, you have to charge less money.
You Should Be Available to Your Students
The JV System Is Broken
After we put out FanReach, I approached the idea of Joint Ventures with some excitement. We had a quality course, our students were getting results, and we were prepared to give affiliates a great commission on sales.
The first guy I approached referred me to his COO, who handles Joint Ventures. He tried to direct me to a video series they had created for their prospective partners. Then he asked me which of the guy's things I wanted to promote. I said, "No I think you have it backward- I have something really cool I thought he would like to promote." Well that didn't work out… turns out the norm is that you have to promote these guys' programs to get noticed before they'll promote yours. And again, you may not know the quality of that product before you promote it, if it's launch hype time.
All of this seems needlessly complicated and manipulative. It's not about the customers.
- If you have a great course, give me access and if I agree, I will promote it to my list. If it sucks, forget it- I'm not going to destroy my relationship with my list for you.
- If I have a great course that helps people, you should be excited to promote it, thus helping your customers and making some money in the process.
Good vs. Evil in The Online Marketing World
I've been an Internet Marketing consultant for 12 years. I'm a Facebook expert. I've written a top-selling Facebook marketing book that's not self-published. I do keynote speaking for big companies. I've seen all sides of this space, and I've taken some of these courses. With all that, what I realized is that there are a lot of people out there trying to make a buck, often at the expense of their customers.
There are very few people who are creating quality content that helps students get results, and who actually care about their students.
I have run into a few people who are more ethically motivated though, so my hope is that I can network with them and promote a more ethical way to do online education.

A lovely idea
Bought three as presents, but have made my own fat cakes before so know the advantages for the birds and the excellent way of getting rid of the unwanted fat from the kitchen. I do find that the cakes made in this mould are too big for my fat ball dispenser though, but I don't suppose the birds will complain!
Cute and handy
I bought the Fat Bird Cake Making Kit for my mother-a birdlover- for christmas. For that reason I haven't tried it, but what I received looks like the picture, though maybe a bit smaller than I had expected. It's a cute design, and I imagine it will be easy to use any other birdseeds once the included ones run out (and the same goes for the string). Perfect gift for any other birdlovers as well I think!
Fat Bird Cake Making Kit
I've bought the Fat Bird Making Kit as a Christmas Gift, so can't review the actual item apart from to say it looks fun, won't take up too much room in a kitchen and should keep the birds happy! IWOOT is always top for great gifts, wonderful customer service, great delivery and good offers too. Why wouldn't you buy from IWOOT?
Waste not, want not!
A very clever idea, when you grill your bacon or whatever, you often have that good feeling when you see the fat dripping off thinking its not you thats going to eat it! The Fat Bird Cake Making Kit can be used to feed wildlife in your garden. Can be kept in the fridge and slowly filled as you cook.

Snow removal puts state $6 million in hole
A Department of Transportation plow truck treats the road way at the Interstate 93 and Interstate 293 split in Manchester on Tuesday. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
The state budgeted about $39 million for winter maintenance but expects to spend about $45 million. Last winter totaled about $32 million for "a relatively mild winter," department spokesman Bill Boynton said Tuesday.
"As always is the case, we don't know how the winters are going to play out," Boynton said, noting last month ranked as the worst month in 20 years on a winter severity index that measures the effect of weather on maintaining roads.
Before Tuesday's storm, Concord already had 72 inches of snow this winter, 17.2 inches above normal.
At the same point last year, the city saw 48.9 inches compared to a normal 54.8 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
A fleet of 310 state plow trucks and 437 hired trucks cleared 4,600 miles of state-maintained roads Tuesday. A statewide storm typically costs about $565,000 for an eight-hour shift without overtime, including staff, equipment and salt. An eight-hour overtime shift runs $609,000.
Some crews in southwest New Hampshire were called out at 10 p.m. Monday.
Last winter's budget had more than $7 million left over, with some of that money devoted to tasks such as tree trimming and guardrail work in the summer, Boynton said.

Improving Health Outcomes
The American Medical Association is galvanizing a new, bold professional movement in pursuit of healthier people, better health care and lower health care costs.
The AMA is committing its resources, expertise and reach to prevent heart disease and type 2 diabetes and to improve outcomes for those suffering from these diseases. The toll of these two diseases—both in dollars and human suffering—is staggering.
To improve health outcomes, we believe a new approach is required: by focusing on health as well as medical care, and by strengthening links between the clinic and community through novel strategies and collaborations, we can achieve a healthier nation.
Our Approach
Why the American Medical Association?
The AMA is in a unique position to reach physicians in all practice settings and specialties. Our work to improve the health of the nation positions us to bring physicians together with communities and public and private sector organizations to prevent—and to achieve measurable improvements in health outcomes for—cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Why cardiovascular disease and diabetes?
The AMA chose to focus on cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes because these
conditions impact millions of patients and nearly all physicians, cause enormous suffering
and death, and add significant costs to our economy.
In addition, the direct and indirect costs of cardiovascular disease and diabetes are more than $535 billion a year. With proper intervention, the effects of these conditions can be dramatically reduced, leading to a healthier nation and reducing health care spending.
How is the AMA tackling high blood pressure and prediabetes?
To address these risk factors, the AMA is collaborating with other organizations to develop new approaches to achieve better control of blood pressure and prevent progression of prediabetes to diabetes.
The AMA is teaming up with the YMCA of the USA to help prevent the onset of diabetes among Medicare participants who have prediabetes. The AMA will begin its work by collaborating with the YMCA to help attain a joint target of 10,000 additional Medicare participants in the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program, with the longer-term goal of increasing referral of all adults who have prediabetes.
Learn more
To prevent heart disease, the AMA is working with the Johns Hopkins Medicine Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality and the Center to Eliminate Cardiovascular Health Disparities to create a nationwide professional movement by supporting practices in their efforts to improve hypertension control. Our efforts will work in concert with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' "Million Hearts®" initiative, for which a primary objective is to bring the high blood pressure of 10 million more American under control by 2017.

About Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes
About Hypertension (high blood pressure)
To address type 2 diabetes, the AMA is focusing its attention and resources on prediabetes, a serious health condition that increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
The annual total costs of diagnosed diabetes rose from $174 billion to $245 billion (approximately 41 percent) between 2007 and 2012 (source: American Diabetes Association).
The problem
Approximately 79 million Americans have prediabetes—that's about one in three people—and in U.S. adults aged 65 years or older, the percentage is even higher, at roughly 50 percent.
The annual total costs of diagnosed diabetes rose from $174 billion to $245 billion (approximately 41 percent) between 2007 and 2012 (source: American Diabetes Association).
How is the AMA improving health outcomes?
The AMA is creating innovative clinical-community linkages that leverage the existing, substantial body of evidence on diabetes prevention in order to make best practices easier to implement.
To help prevent diabetes and its associated health complications, and in support of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), the AMA will work with the YMCA of the USA.
In 17 communities, qualifying seniors may be able to participate in the YMCA's DPP at no cost.
Program eligibility
People who are eligible to participate in the YMCA's DPP at no cost must have Medicare part A&B and meet the following criteria:
- BMI of 25 or greater (22+ for Asian individuals) AND
- Blood values of:
- A1c: 5.7%–6.4% OR
- Fasting plasma glucose: 100–125 mg/dL OR
- Two-hour (75 gm glucola) plasma glucose: 140–199 mg/dL
People with Medicare Part C (Advantage Plans) will have to self-pay.
What's happening right now?
The AMA is focusing on increasing physician referrals of people with prediabetes to local YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program sites and enhancing communication between clinical practices and the YMCA program sites.
Our first step is working with physician practices and YMCAs in pilot sites in Delaware, Indianapolis and Minneapolis. In these communities, qualifying seniors who have prediabetes may be able to participate in the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program at no cost.
As we learn from these pilot sites, we will expand our efforts to engage more physicians, patients and Diabetes Prevention Program providers.
Why the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program?
The YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program is based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's evidence-based National Diabetes Prevention Program, and is focused on delaying or preventing the progression of prediabetes to diabetes through
lifestyle interventions that target improving diet, physical activity and achieving moderate weight loss.
The National Diabetes Prevention Program has been shown to reduce the number of new cases of type 2 diabetes by 58 percent among adults, and 71 percent in adults over the age of 60.
A recent article in American Medical News provides a valuable overview of the impact the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program has on patients, providers and communities.
What can physician practices do right now?
All practices can start screening for prediabetes right now, and stop type 2 diabetes before it starts.
Use the chart shown on this page, and the CDC Prediabetes screening test-patient handout.
Find out more about our pilot efforts and how you can participate.
What can patients do right now?
- Ask your doctor if you are at risk for prediabetes.
- Request a screening.
- Eat a healthy diet, be physically active, maintain a healthy weight and don't smoke.
- Find out if your local YMCA offers the Diabetes Prevention Program and if you are eligible to participate.
Stats and resources
Diabetes statistics
- Diabetes affects 25.8 million people, 8.3 percent of the U.S. population (all ages, 2010 data; 95 percent is type 2 diabetes)
- Diagnosed 18.8 million people
- Undiagnosed 7 million people
- More than 230,000 American deaths in 2010 included diabetes as a primary or contributing cause Source: National Center for Health Statistics, November 2012
- The total costs of diagnosed diabetes have risen from $174 billion in 2007 when the cost was last examined to $245 billion in 2012
Prediabetes statistics
- $176 billion in direct medical expenses
- $69 billion in lost productivity
- This figure represents a 41 percent increase over a five year period
- About 33 percent of U.S. adults (approximately 79 million) have prediabetes but awareness of this high risk condition is very low; about 50 percent of U.S. adults aged 65 years or older have prediabetes
- People with prediabetes can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes by losing 5–7 percent of their body weight and getting at least 150 minutes per week of moderate physical activity

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
The AMA seeks to address heart disease and stroke by focusing on high blood pressure, a major contributor to cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death in the United States.
The problem
One in every three American adults (67 million or 31 percent) has high blood pressure, which can lead to heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, blindness and heart failure.
Total annual costs associated with high blood pressure are $51 billion (Medical Expenditure Panel Survey 2009).
More than 30 million Americans have both hypertension and a usual source of medical care—but their blood pressure is still too high.
How is the AMA improving health outcomes?
The AMA is tackling high blood pressure in clinics and communities, leveraging the existing, substantial body of evidence on blood pressure management and making best practices easier to implement for patients and doctors alike.
The AMA is focusing on improving health outcomes for the 30 million people with hypertension who are receiving medical care but do not have their blood pressure under control.
The AMA is collaborating with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' "Million Hearts®" initiative. We have adopted the initiative's goal of preventing one million heart attacks and strokes, including helping 10 million more Americans get their blood pressure under control.
The AMA is working with the Johns Hopkins Medicine Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality and the Center to Eliminate Cardiovascular Health Disparities to improve care for patients by developing and spreading a model for better detection and management of high blood pressure, both in the clinic and in the community.
What's happening right now?
Currently, in the early phase of its work to engage practices, people and communities in addressing hypertension control, the AMA is initiating prototyping with physician practices in Chicago and in Baltimore.
These practices are working together and with experts in hypertension and practice improvement to develop and test a new clinical care improvement package. By incorporating this prototype improvement package into their workflow, these practices will seek to determine its impact on controlling patients' high blood pressure, as well as its sustainability and feasibility in diverse clinical practice settings.
AMA will take what it learns from these practices to improve workflows in clinical care environments, then use a community-based approach to spread hypertension improvement to more practices regionally and nationwide.
How many lives could be saved by controlling high blood pressure?
AMA Improving Health Outcomes (IHO) data analysts offer new estimates of the additional lives that need to be saved between 2015 and 2020 to maintain the 60-year trend decline in U.S. ischemic heart disease and
stroke death rates.
That number is 28,000–41,000.
AMA IHO will use these data in setting goals for our work in hypertension management, and ultimately cardiovascular disease prevention.
Read the full issue brief from AMA IHO, which also breaks out death rates from ischemic heart disease and stroke.
What can physician practices do right now?
All physicians can visit the "Million Hearts®" website for resources you can use in your practice and with your patients to prevent and control high blood pressure.
Many primary care physicians can use hypertension improvement efforts to meet Maintenance of Certification requirements, visit American Board of Internal Medicine or the
American Board of Family Medicine to find out more.
Find out more about our pilot efforts and how you can participate.
What can patients do right now?
- Talk with your doctor about your risk for high blood pressure.
- Get your blood pressure checked and then monitor it regularly.
- Eat a healthy diet, be physically active, don't smoke, and maintain a healthy weight.
- Visit the "Million Hearts" website to learn how to prevent or control high blood pressure.
Stats and resources
Statistics about hypertension:
- More than half of preventable heart disease and stroke deaths happen to people under age 65.
- Blacks are nearly twice as likely as whites to die from preventable heart disease and stroke.
- In the U.S., counties in southern states have the greatest risk overall.
- In 2010 nearly 59 million persons representing 25 percent of the adult population were treated for hypertension.
- Direct medical spending to treat hypertension totaled $44 billion in 2010, with almost half ($20 billion) in the form of prescription medications.

Collaboration is essential to our success.
The AMA is interested in collaborating with organizations whose efforts are aligned with our "Improving Health Outcomes" Initiative and our strategies around controlling high blood pressure and preventing diabetes.
Our collaborations with the Johns Hopkins Medicine Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality and the Center to Eliminate Cardiovascular Health Disparities (to support the goal of improving blood pressure control in people with hypertension), and with the YMCA of the USA (to support the goal of reducing the incidence of type 2 diabetes) represent the beginning stages of a long-term effort toward accomplishing our vision.
Our engagement with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' "Million Hearts®" initiative, and with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Diabetes Prevention Program, are further examples of strategic alignment toward shared goals.
The AMA improving health outcomes team wants to learn about what is happening in your community or state to improve health outcomes in our two key areas of focus.
Send a description of your organization's efforts around hypertension and/ or prediabetes to firstname.lastname@example.com Please include as many details as possible and let us know if you are collaborating with other partners on your efforts.
