Editor's Note: This column was originally published in CLI sister publication Corporate Counsel on March 11.
Every commercial arbitration has a "seat," and it is crucial to choose it carefully. Selecting the wrong one can undermine the arbitration entirely. The seat provides the framework underlying the arbitration, and the courts of the seat have supervisory jurisdiction. That has several consequences, but three points merit particular attention:
1. An arbitration award may be challenged in the courts of the seat on the grounds set out in the arbitration law of the seat. All countries will allow an award to be challenged on certain, limited grounds (for example, that the arbitrators lacked jurisdiction), but some also allow a challenge based on errors of law or on grounds of public policy. The approach of the local courts is also important—"public policy" can mean different things in different courtrooms.
2. The likely level of court intervention in any dispute will vary based on the seat. In "arbitration-friendly" jurisdictions, the courts typically intervene only to support the arbitration—perhaps to issue urgent interim relief or to enforce the arbitration agreement. Other jurisdictions may allow a more interventionist approach or decline to respect the arbitration agreement, which can lead to additional costs, delay and parallel court proceedings.
3. The law of the seat can play a part in some procedural issues in the arbitration, for example as to whether the tribunal has the power to award costs or interest, or what conflicts of law rules should be applied. It can also play a much more significant role in ad hoc arbitrations—but ad hoc arbitrations are relatively rare (and this article focuses on the position in institutional arbitration).
It is also important to keep in mind that a few emerging markets (for example, China) impose restrictions in some circumstances on the choice of seat.
For these and other reasons, it is possible to get the choice of seat very wrong. Choosing the wrong seat can, for example, severely delay the arbitration, increase the risk of parallel court proceedings and render the award prone to challenge on relatively broad grounds in the local courts. If those courts are not reliable—or your counterparty is well connected—the risks are obvious.
The good news is that there are several "safe" options in terms of seats, which have supportive arbitration laws and reliable, arbitration-friendly national courts. They are also in countries that are party to the New York Convention (an important factor in enforcing any award). Therefore, it should usually be possible to find an acceptable compromise. Commonly adopted "safe" options include (in no particular order) New York, London, Paris, Singapore, Hong Kong and Geneva.
(This is not to say that every other seat is a bad choice. Several other jurisdictions—including in North America and Europe—are arbitration-friendly and would be included by many in this list, but they are not as broadly accepted.)
How, then, should you choose between these "safe" options?
Turning first to a few common misconceptions, the seat need not be the same as the governing law of the contract, or be based in the same place as the chosen arbitral institution. Accordingly, there is no reason why a contract cannot be governed by English law but provide for ICC arbitration in New York. Similarly, counsel do not need to be qualified in the law of the seat, so there is no reason in this example why a party could not (if it wished) instruct English attorneys in the arbitration. In fact, the first question should be whether there are important distinguishing features from a purely legal perspective.
One potentially important legal difference relates to confidentiality. In arbitrations seated in Hong Kong, Singapore and London, the parties are subject (unless they agree otherwise) to a duty of confidentiality. No such obligation is imposed on the parties in Paris (other than in domestic arbitrations) or New York, unless agreed or contained in the applicable institutional rules (and not all the rules provide for confidentiality).
There are other differences. For example, in New York, an award may be challenged based on a "manifest disregard of the law." But this is a high bar and no international arbitration award has ever been set aside on this ground by the New York courts. Further, the New York courts will determine questions about the jurisdiction of a New York-seated tribunal unless there is clear and unmistakeable evidence that the parties agreed that the tribunal should determine its own jurisdiction. This is a complex area of law, but the key point for present purposes is that the major institutional rules contain such an agreement.
As another example, the English Arbitration Act allows for challenge of an award based on an error of law, but again the threshold is set very high (the decision must be obviously wrong or open to serious doubt, if it is a point of general public importance). Moreover, the parties may opt out of this ground for challenge—and the major institutional rules contain such an opt-out provision.
The other seats also have their quirks, which could be significant in some cases. But it is impossible to say that, as a result of these differences, one is better than the others for all cases. Confidentiality aside, therefore, puely legal factors will rarely drive an informed choice between these "safe" options.
How about cost? Is one of these seats more likely than the others to lead to a cheaper and more efficient arbitration process? Anecdotal evidence differs on this point, but an arbitration in one seat should not be cheaper than in another, all other things being equal. Wherever the seat, the tribunal should set the procedure based on the circumstances of the case—and there is no reason why an international arbitration seated in New York (for example) should have broader discovery than if it was seated in Paris.
That said, all other things may not be equal: in particular, the seat can play a role in the constitution of the tribunal—it is one factor institutions consider in choosing a sole arbitrator or chair. In turn, the nationality and background of the sole arbitrator or chair may inform his or her approach to the arbitration. But this is by no means always the case, and the bottom line is that there is no accepted consensus among international arbitration specialists that one of these seats is more likely to lead to lower (or higher) costs than the others.
In fact, the most important factor is typically neutrality. The ability to select a neutral seat (i.e., not in either party's "home" jurisdiction) is one of the key advantages of arbitration. But typically that will only rule out a few of these options, still leaving several seats to choose among.
Geography is another important consideration. This is partly driven by convenience—the seat will usually be the default venue for any hearings, although hearings can take place elsewhere so convenience should not be decisive. Additionally, certain seats tend to be selected more in the context of transactions in different regions, partly for reasons of familiarity. For example, a New York seat is common in the South American context, whereas London and Paris are more typical choices in contracts relating to Africa. Similarly, Hong Kong and Singapore are steadily increasing their share of Asia-related arbitrations.
Logistical factors, such as availability in the seat of hearing rooms and associated services (particularly transcribers and interpreters), are sometimes cited as relevant considerations. While such facilities are undoubtedly important in a hearing venue, again they should not be decisive.
One practical issue worth considering is language. A well-drafted arbitration agreement will provide that the arbitration itself will be conducted in English (or another language). Any court proceedings (including any challenge to the award), however, will be in the local language of the seat, which can be inconvenient and may increase costs.
Bringing all of this together, there are four key practical points to take away:
1. Every arbitration clause should specify the "seat." If no choice is made, the arbitral institution or the tribunal will determine the seat, introducing an unnecessary element of risk and uncertainty.
2. Check that there are no local law restrictions on the location of the seat.
3. New York, London, Paris, Singapore, Hong Kong and Geneva are "safe" choices (but are not the only good choices). There are differences between them, but none of them stands out as preferred for every contract.
4. There is no reason not to start with New York, if your preference is for a seat in the United States. If that is resisted, you can safely offer one of the other options as a compromise, hopefully in exchange for leverage elsewhere.

"Bladel, the village that my father was born" Bladel by Pavlik_NL
Bladel Travel Guide: 10 reviews and 18 photos
In the Southern part of Northern Brabant, just some kilometres from the Belgian border, Bladel is a typical village of the "Kempen". Small centre, surrounded by wide and intensive agricultural land. Historically seen a neighborhood center, surrounded by the "zeven Selligheden (Zaligheden)" (= zeven merry places), to know as "Eersel" (also known as the pearl of them), Knegsel, Steensel, Reusel, Wintelre (used to be Wintersel), Netersel en Hulsel. Some say that "Sterksel" is the eightest "Selligheit", some disagree in that. Anyway, Bladel can be found in a wonderful Brabant landscape and hides itself also a few treasure.
The "Kempen" are situated on relatively poor soils (sand), but have been since centuries one huge agricultural society. Mixed farming (both cattling as arable land) can still be found in the surroundings of Bladel. Modern farmhouses are now side by side with large old "hoeves" (old farmhouses), some with huge straw roofs. Parcels are relatively small, even now the scale-increasing has found it's way in The Netherlands.
Bladel, my grandparents lived here all their lives and my heritage here goes back even four centuries. My great-great-great-great (etc) grandfather was a agricultural tax accounant and one of his grandsons would even make it to the mayor of the district. My father was born in Bladel, as well as his ten sisters and brothers (yes, we're talking about good Catholic families in these neighborhoods and times). more about them you can find in the travellogues.

Nice page about an easily overlooked place. Such villages can be true little jewels and I'll visit it soon. The RC church is called St. Petrus' Banden, dates from 1926 and was designed by architect J.H.H. van Groenendael. Just to be complete.
:-) The first visit (or comment at least) to this special place. This is a lovely page on a "regular" town; it may not be on a tourist route, but it is interesting nonetheless.

The world of Priston is composed of the subtle relations of two tribes: the Morion who are highly dependent on magic and soul, and the Tempskron who are highly dependent on power and technology. Some time ago, an ominous air loomed over the world of Priston. Upon further investigation by the Morion tribe, they came to discover a prophecy of the ancients. The last part of the prophecy foretold of evil species appearing in the world of Priston. Many conflicts began to arise between the existing forms of life and even between the two tribes themselves, seemingly tossing the world of Priston into a state of chaos.

I made this for a brithday party. Instead of using a dressing I caramlised onions and added caramelised almonds. It was a big hit and was the only salad that was demolished.
Delicious and very easy to make, I didn't change a thing in this recipe, everything was perfect. I love the sweetness of the pumpkins and the different textures, the crisp spinach added to the salad and the dressing was yummy. I think next time I will cook the pumpkin for about 20 mins or less as it was a little brown but still tasted yummy. Thank you Rhiannon&Matt.gauci

In a class programming Arduinos from Windows 7 boxes, we have noticed that it is advantageous to plug in the same board, because each new board is recognized as a new COM port. If this happens too much, it seems like a maximum is reached and no more COM ports can be allocated.
It also appears to be advantageous to plug in the board to the same USB socket every time because different sockets appear to be allocated different COM port numbers.
There are a number of related questions here:
How does Windows persist the knowledge of the location of which USB devices are in which ports? The behavior clearly changes if I plug in the same board after a reboot, or a different board.
Is there any way to look through and/or edit the list of COM ports?
Every now and then, despite our best efforts (at random), the machines seem to lock up and refuse to recognize an Arduino. Then we pop up the Device Manager, look for the device. Sometimes another reboot is necessary. Sometimes merely unplugging and replugging the Arduino works.
Is there any way to manually "lock" a COM port to a specific board, for example, reserve COM9 for a particular Arduino.
We are particularly interested in preventing these problems, because this is a high school environment with multiple users with new users. A way to streamline the process and reduce the incidence of problems would improve our ability to focus on the subject matter.

'London': Peter Ackroyd's Life of a City
By PATRICK McGRATH
Published: December 2, 2001
Charles Lamb, 19th-century essayist and ''great Londoner,'' is quoted thus in Peter Ackroyd's magnificent ''London: The Biography'': ''I often shed tears in the motley Strand, for fullness of joy at such a multitude of life.'' The intense sympathy and affection with which Ackroyd tells the city's story suggests that his reaction to the place is not dissimilar to Lamb's. But just what is it about this damp, gray town, the suicide capital of Europe in the 19th century, that can make a grown man cry, or at least inspire him to write such a robust, passionate and exhaustively researched book as this? Ackroyd's London is -- and according to him, always has been -- a city of theatricality and flamboyance, dirt and danger, excess, bravura, violence, eccentricity and noise. Red is its color. Meat is its staple. It is egalitarian and pagan; it thirsts for spectacle, and for strong drink too. Its presiding deity is money. It perpetually rises from flame and ruin. It is a labyrinth, a kitchen, a family, a prison, a hell, a state of mind, a living thing. And this, finally, is the heart of the matter, the idea that London lives, and therefore demands not a history but a biography.
Ackroyd is the author of 10 novels, one of the best of which, ''Hawksmoor,'' prefigures in its handling of time and architecture the major theme of ''London: the Biography,'' the interpenetration of its present and its past. He has also written a number of biographies of human beings, including Dickens, Blake and T. S. Eliot. His approach to the form has been idiosyncratic. In his life of Dickens, for example, there is a chapter in which Dickens enters one of his own novels, another in which Ackroyd interviews Dickens on a London street and a third in which a ''true conversation'' among Dickens, Wilde, Chatterton and Eliot is recorded.
So it is hardly surprising that his book about London does not follow a conventional model. He organizes the vast quantities of information he has unearthed into a remarkable set of themes and topics. In a series of short chapters he writes, for example, about the smells of London, the quality of London silence, waste disposal practices in London, London ghosts and London weather, each subject discussed in various manifestations across a broad spectrum of time. He discourses on London's particular form of knowledge, in the philosophical sense (empiricism); he talks about the Devil, and the not infrequent visits that gentleman has made to London; and about sex , rumors, suicide, prisons, children, food, trees, fog, fires and plagues in London. This approach allows him to lay heavy stress on recurrent attributes and patterns of life that he regards as integral to London's character from its first days.
Focusing, then, on the idea of continuity -- on the repetition, in particular, of similar activities on similar sites over the centuries -- Ackroyd dispenses almost entirely with the chronological ordering typical of the standard history or the standard biography. Certain events serve as structural devices to support his vast edifice of scholarship, such as the Great Fire of 1666, or the explosion of development in the mid-Victorian period, when much of what we now recognize as contemporary London was built, or the Blitz of 1940.
But these are mere points of departure, from which he takes off, and to which he returns, having in the meantime illuminated, with earthy erudition, one facet or another of London that he has identified as a constant. ''There is clear evidence,'' he writes, in a superb chapter on London speech, ''that Cockney English has not changed in its essentials for over 500 years.'' And on London graffiti, he writes, ''Any particular year, over the last thousand, will provide its own litany of curses, execrations and imperatives.'' He mentions a certain Hurlo Thrumbo, who in 1732 published a collection taken from the walls of London toilets, titled ''The Merry Thought or the Glass Window and Bog House Miscellany.'' He quotes examples, unprintable in these pages, and then the dignified riposte discovered on one wall: ''It is the vanity of degenerates to write their names here.''
This, then, is an unorthodox history of London that is fascinating not only for what Ackroyd selects but also for what he ignores. There is barely an aristocrat to be seen in these pages. The Earl of Sandwich appears when, unable to tear himself away from the gaming table for 24 hours straight, he puts a piece of beef between two slices of bread and invents one of England's few enduring contributions to world cuisine. The House of Commons is mentioned only because it burned in 1834, ''which provoked some of the most picturesque London paintings,'' including works by Constable and Turner. ''These artists recognized,'' Ackroyd writes, ''that in the heart of the flame they might also evoke the spirit and presence of the city itself.'' The great statesman Pitt the Younger appears only once, in connection with the ''Bog House Miscellany.''

Here's the Bike Hugger SXSW Urban Ride Route
We've got Bike Hugger 2.0 in the works, with a refreshed design, more community, and 33% more hugganess. Going into the upgrade process, we'd like to know what you think. So please tell us. What should go into 2.0? How can we give you even more bike hugga?
Instructables is coming to SXSW, stopping by the BBQ, and bringing this Kinetic Chain Sculpture with them.
That looks like hours of fun in a bike shop and also a great hand cleaner demo – "here, hold this chain-art thingy for a few seconds and then try our Pedros enviro-hand cleaner! Also see
After putting these Carnac booties on, I thought, "hmm maybe too euro, even for me." Lycra booties do serve a purpose in Spring weather. They keep the chill off, aero, and keep the feet drier when the roads are wet. These ones though look like Smurf boots, but at least their not White Booties …
Opinions? Are these indeed too Euro or should one always embrace their inner Euro? They also totally don't match the Modal or Hotspur.
Here's a great idea – add an option to Google Maps to show bike paths and directions in the same place you'd get driving or public transit directions. It ain't so yet, but it could be if this petition can catch the attention of Google's map teams. There are tons of online city bike maps, some already mashed up into Google's maps like this New York City map. Seeing how nicely it plays puts other city bike maps to shame (Portland, Seattle – warning: Big downloads). Having bike routes available in online mapping apps would be a great step forward for many cities, and a big encouragement for those who might just go by bike with a bit more information.
I recently spent some time trying to figure how to bus down to a city a few miles away and then bike back home. The bus part was easy, but figuring out the best bike route back was a nightmare. I used Seattle's .pdf based bike maps, but it was pretty hard to see the whole route on a single screen let alone create a cue sheet based on it. My best bet would have been to print it out, lay down several sheets side by side on the floor and mark it off by hand. Sites like Bikely and Routeslip are helpful, if somebody's taken the time to do it right.
Of course the biggest challenge in providing bike maps for a city like Seattle is that not all bike lanes, sharrow'd streets, or other biking infrastructure links to eachother. The Bike Master Plan will help when it's implemented, but I don't know how Google would get around recommending a complete bike route to a location without including 'get off and walk…' for some portions of the ride.

Hot answers tagged vmware-workstation
Yes it is possible. You can do this with the "vmrun" command using the "nogui" option: vmrun -T ws start /export/vmware/rh5/server.vmx nogui The VM will then come up without starting the Workstation GUI and you can ssh to it. If your host os is Windows change the path to: vmrun -T ws start C:\export\vmware\rh5\server.vmx nogui
The linked clone works similar to the snapshot technique. Snapshots work in a way that saves disk use: When you create a snapshot and make changes after this (as you work with the system inside the VM), VMware stores only the changed parts of the disk (sectors). Linked VM clones work similar: If you have a 10 GB disk and create a linked clone, you do not ...
You can use nmcli & nmtui If you are using "minimal installation" then all other rpm for web development you need to install separately. For status of your nic /ip as follow ip a sh This is how all servers should be setup. Absolutely bare bones and then add only the services/applications that define its role.
Actually, there is a way to shrink a VM on ESXi, although you need to shut down the VM for it. Here's how: Zero all unused space inside the VM: dd if=/dev/zero bs=1048576 of=/zero ; sync ; rm /zero Do the same with other mount points, swap partitions, etc. Shut down the VM. SSH to ESXi, and issue this command: vmkfstools -K /vmfs/volumes/volumename/...
Yes. VMware vCenter Converter
Yes, VMWare Workstation can run 64-bit guests on a 32-bit hosts...however it is required that your hardware can support 64-bit OS's (it doesn't have to run a 64-bit OS, it just needs to support it). Blog post talking about it Free tool to check if your CPU is capable of running 64-bit guests
To fix the keys, just run: setxkbmap And that should restore them to default behaviour.
The feature was introduced to provide better support for applications (and operating systems) that treat cores differently to processors, this is generally due to licensing constraints. XP Home, for example, will not recognize a second processor but has no problem with a single multiple core CPU, likewise Windows Server 2003 Standard has a 4 processor limit ...
You could use VMware vCenter Converter(free) or Paragon Go Virtual(free), both applications will convert your existing physical machines in to virtual machines. I have only used VMware vCenter Converter with good results.
You would only theoretically have problems if you live migrated your VMs from an AMD processor to an Intel processor (i.e. vMotion), so vSphere just won't allow a vMotion in this scenario. If you shut down the VM and then start it up again on the new processor, you will be fine, provided the guest OS isn't particularly processor-dependent. (For the most part ...
VMWare is a very strong solution. You should look at creating a team in VMWare Workstation to bring up your mini LAN. This tends to mimic reality very well and can be reconfigured on the fly. Unless you have something very strange in mind, VMWare workstation can help you simulate just about anything a real LAN could encounter.
Ah -- now it becomes clear: My machine is installed in vmware workstation. So, form all the answers, I guess maybe the jitter becomes so large is because that vmware adjust the time. I will see if I am right. Don't run ntp in a VM. The host computer doesn't guarantee CPU slices, so the VM's clock isn't accurate. As you see, ntp is trying to ...
No. The name "hardware virtualization" specifically indicates that the feature is based in hardware. If the CPU does not have the instruction set, you cannot enable it otherwise. Intel's testing the market with "software enabled" upgrades but I believe it to be cores and cache, not instruction set.
There isn't a problem at all, it's just saying that IF you wish to reduce the VM's memory allocation you need to do that with the VMs powered off, that's all.
I figured this out -- add to the vmx file: ethernetX.rxbw.limit = 56 ethernetX.txbw.limit = 34 where ethernetX is the adaptor to limit, i.e. ethernet0 or ethernet1 Thanks to http://www.sanbarrow.com/vmx/vmx-network-advanced.html
Ok, so after much toiling I finally figured out how to do it. And again, gparted cannot be used. Firstly, you should expand the size of the disk in VMWare Workstation. Boot into a livecd and open a root terminal: We need to create a new primary partition of type LVM out of the free unused space. #fdisk /dev/sda #Command (m for help): n #Command (m for ...
You experiments are doomed. Copying a VM with SQL Server in it and trying to set up replication with its former self will fail, guaranteed. There are just too many places where the machinery will get confused about who is talking to. Make a new VM for the subscriber, install OS and SQL from scratch, its a 30 min. exercise that will get you a clean state. ...
VMware (and I think most VM vendors) have "physical-to-virtual" conversion tools that should do the job. It's been a long time since I've tried them, but when I did I had no good luck (I'm sure that's probably not the case anymore - it's been a very long time). However, if you find they don't work for you, you can do what I usually do - attach an empty ...
it depends on what the VM is running, a guest on a machine with n number of cores will perform best at n-1 cores assigned so long as the guest is capable of utilizing multiple CPUs effectively. Unfortunately the simplest way to determine this is to try it and see. I usually start with 2 and stop when I run out of performance increase. Typically 2 cores is ...
Yes, use VMWare's Converter tool.
Yes, you do, a license is required regardless of whether you run on bare metal or in a VM.
Install openssh-server on Ubuntu with sudo apt-get install openssh-server You should then be able to ssh from Windows (Putty) using the default settings
Have you tried to configure a bridged vNIC for your VMs? The VMs will be capable of communicating via IPv6
The UUID of the disk is in the .vmdk file. For example: # The Disk Data Base #DDB ddb.toolsVersion = "8327" ddb.adapterType = "lsilogic" ddb.geometry.sectors = "63" ddb.geometry.heads = "255" ddb.geometry.cylinders = "2610" ddb.uuid = "60 00 C2 9f e4 06 d9 4c-13 9a d8 50 77 bb 73 36" ddb.longContentID = "72d1cd8a4fb3119ca80f3870ee90c1b0" ddb....
Shopping/product recommendations are off-topic, but I will address the technical inaccuracy in the response that you got. A VMDK is a virtual disk, which is a container that contains all of the files in your VM. It is very possible to back this up, and all enterprise products support this. The way that it works is that the filesystem is quiesced and ...
The Win7 XP Mode only works if your CPU supports "VT" (or AMD's equivalent). It's unlikely that VMWare Workstation will emulate or otherwise expose the VT feature to guest O/Ses running under virtualisation, such that the guest O/S's own virtualisation host will work.
Check out WANEM - The Wide Area Network Emulator. It's a utility available as a bootable iso or a VMware appliance. It can simulate various network characteristics (bandwidth, rtt, packet loss/reordering/corruption, jitter, etc) by setting the parameters in a simple web interface and routing your traffic through it. I used it myself to simulate/optimize ...
Most Windows NT 4.0 CDs were bootable. Have you tried just booting the CD-ROM yet? If you can't boot the CD and still want to create the "floppies", grab this virtual floppy driver and use the instructions from Microsoft to create disk iamges of each of the bootable floppies. (Actually, you can find images of the Windows NT 4.0 boot disks in various places ...
VMware Workstation and VMware Player both require the VMware application to be open and running, preventing you from logging out. The application / VM window itself can always be minimized. There are application settings to configure performance of the VM when running in background mode (i.e. not the current application focus). If you're looking for running ...
You can start the VM in workstation and then you simply close the tab that it's open on. Workstation will ask you if you want to power off, suspend, or background that virtual machine.

Cancer Health Center
How Many People Will Have Cancer in 2030?
April 30, 2009 -- Cancer incidence among minorities in the United States will double over the next two decades, from about 330,000 cases today to about 660,000 cases by the year 2030, a new study projects.
The dramatic spike in cancers predicted for elderly and minority populations is expected to lead to a 45% overall increase in cancer cases.
By the year 2030, 2.3 million people in the U.S. will be living with a diagnosis of cancer, compared to about 1.6 million in 2010, says radiation oncologist Benjamin Smith, MD.
He tells WebMD that the increase in cancers among minorities -- driven by aging, immigration, and birthrates that tend to be higher than among whites -- is especially troubling.
"The public health implications are really daunting," he says. "This population is particularly at risk for not receiving adequate cancer care and, as a result, having worse outcomes from their cancer."
Demographic Shift Drives Rise
Smith and colleagues from Houston's University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center examined population growth projections from the U.S. Census Bureau and data from the nation's largest cancer registry in their effort to understand what cancer will look like in the United States two decades from now.
"We all know that the U.S. population is getting older and that it is getting more diverse," he says. "But we haven't really understood how this change in the population will affect cancer incidence."
The researchers project that:
- Although the overall population of the U.S. will increase by 19% by 2030, cancer incidence will rise by more than double that number (45%).
- In 2030, 1.6 million cancers will be detected in older Americans (65 and older) alone -- the same number expected among all age groups combined this year.
- 70% of cancers will occur among the elderly in 2030, compared with 60% today. And 28% of cancers will occur in minorities -- up from 21% in 2010.
- Liver and stomach cancers -- far more common among Hispanics and Asians than whites -- are projected to have the biggest rises in incidence. Both of the cancers have poor survival rates.
The rates of cancer in blacks, American Indian-Alaska Native, multiracial (non-Hispanic), Asian-Pacific Islanders, and Hispanics are projected to increase by 64%, 76%, 101%, 132%, and 142%, respectively.

Improvement in Dome Speaker Characteristics by Using a Spherical Wave Front Horn Baffle
A new baffle shape can be used tosignificantly improve dome speaker performance. Conventionally, a dome speaker is mounted on a flat baffle, such that the sound waves radiating from the diaphragm are subject to reflection, interference and diffraction, resulting in irregular response characteristics. Noting that a dome shaped diaphragm's wavefront is nearly spherical, we decided to use a horn to spread the wavefront without distorting it. With this baffle it is theoretically possible to obtain the equivalent of a pulsating sphere at the opening. In theory, there would be no problems of reflection, interference or diffraction. Using an experimental baffle, we were able to confirm our hypothesis. We were also able to make further improvements in directional and imaging characteristics. Applying this new baffle to a dome speaker we found that it did indeed ameliorate.

Wallace backs down on Fox and Friends disagreement.
Last week, Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace appeared on Fox and Friends and took the hosts "to task" for their "two hours of Obama bashing." He criticized their coverage as "excessive" and "somewhat distorting." Now, however, Wallace says that looking back, he went too far:
"I didn't have any second thoughts about the substance because I still believe what I said was right," said Mr. Wallace. "But after the fact, you do think to yourself–on a professional level with colleagues I very much like and respect–should I have done that off camera?"
"It's a close call," said Mr. Wallace. "I'm not sure I'd do it again."
Wallace also revealed that a Fox News executive sent him an e-mail after his Fox and Friends appearance to say, "isn't this the kind of thing we should be talking about off camera, not on camera?"

Ext.getDom works in ff but not in ie7 issue
Hey All,
I am using this bit of code to load data after a call to the server.
Ext.getDom('currLoc').textContent = 'some data...';

The Ext.getDom works great if FF but I can't seem to get it to work in IE7. I am just updating text in a table.
Any thoughts?

Thanks J,
I had the same problem with Ext.fly...and sad to say I cheated and went with the following:
document.getElementById('x-form-el-newNextAvailable').innerHTML = nextAvailable;
which ended up placing the data as I'd hoped but wrecked the style by placing it a few pixels to high so that the horizontal label is lower than the data...sheesh.
I'm sure I've missed something very basic though I don't know what just yet.

I have a domain 'mydomain.com'. I have several web/mail/ftp servers in the cloud on different IPs from different cloud providers:
I also have a small home/office network with two computers. I would like them to be reachable over the internet:
I have added the public facing IP of my home router to the nameservers as an A record for both home1.mydomian.com and home2.mydomain.com.
What I would like now is to have the home router route incoming traffic to the correct machine but not using port forwarding. I want each machine to keep its own firewall, not just only accept traffic on one port.
Many thanks

Guilty but Insane v. Not Guilty by Reason of InsanityThe initial debate in the realm of criminal insanity began with whether to even have this as a viable option in the judicial system. The insanity plea itself dates back to the 1200s, but understanding of mental disease in this time was obviously much more limited and rudimentary (7). By the mid-1800s, the first legal definition for criminal insanity was established, and became known as the M'Naughten Rule. This rules states that the person cannot be convicted id the defendant did not, at the time of the crime, know what they were doing or that it was wrong because of a mental disease which affected them when the crime was committed. Another rule commonly used hails from the American Law Institute and states that the offender cannot be convicted if they did not have the cognitive ability to understand the criminality of the act because of a mental disease. Both of these definitions are used in the case that the offender is not guilty by reason of insanity (6).
The guilty but insane or guilty but mentally ill is used in the case that the defendant is convicted as guilty, but is also "insane". The difference is that the "illness is not severe enough to relieve him of criminal insanity" (6). The treatments for both the guilty and not guilty are somewhat similar, there is no question that the defendant committed the crime, but their paths diverge later in their rehabilitation process (see also "Current Laws Regarding the Criminally Insane Patient").
Historical Treatment of the Criminally Insane
The criminally insane have been historically abused and their illnesses demeaned. There have also been a number of alternative methods of treatment which were used with the criminally insane and the mentally ill alike. One such treatment was metrazol-induced chemical convulsive therapy, a very physically demanding and draining procedure in which convulsions relatable to epileptic episodes are induced on the patient in a "controlled" manner. In some cases, the intensity of the therapy would actually cause spine fractures. Electroshock therapy was and still is more common, but it does cause a form of retrograde amnesia in the patient. Some will say that this practice has shown an incredible success rate for the mentally ill, but others comment on the barbarism of the technique. And this practice is used for a wider range of patients, while the criminally insane have received an even shorter end of the stick (8).
2a. Electroshock therapy
The Bridgewater Hospital for the Criminally Insane in Massachusetts provides one of the most unspeakable examples of the treatment of these offenders. The patients who fell under the category of guilty but mentally ill and not guilty by reason of insanity were subjected to constant abuse and disregard for human decency. They were forced to strip naked, force fed under unsafe circumstances, provided with haphazard treatment and they were constantly harassed by the guards at the facility. This is an extreme example and only came to public attention because of the film Titicut Follies (see Stigmas About the Criminally Insane), however it it not too far off base from typical mistreatments of the criminally insane (9).
Current Laws Regarding the Criminally Insane PatientThe treatment and housing of the criminally insane is currently a state-by-state mandated process. While the definition of criminal insanity has been instituted federally, it is up to the state to decide which of the definitions of not guilty by reason of insanity they want, or if they even want to allow the insanity plea in their courts at all. There are about three states which do not allow the insanity plea in any form (6). Where the states choose to hold these mentally ill inmates, is also an individual decision; most contain them in a forensics ward at a state mental hospital, but the offenders are interspersed with, for the most part, the normal patient population (see also State v. Federal Responsibility).
Stigmas About the Criminally Insane
The insanity plea was established because centuries ago people believed that there were those who were possessed by
|3a. US congressional asylum
One incredible example comes from the documentary film Titicut Follies by Frederick Wiseman produced in 1967. It portrays the treatment of criminally insane patients in the State Prison for the Criminally Insane in Bridgewater Massachusetts. Titicut Follies follows the treatments of these patients and inmates by the guards, social workers, and their psychiatrists and chronicles the abhorrent behavior by the entire institution. This film was actually banned by the Massachusetts State Court and was the first time in the United States that a film had been banned for reasons other than obscenity, immorality, or national security. While the court said that the reasons for the ban were because of a violation of patient dignity, a more likely reason was because of the negative image of a state institution portrayed in the film. The DVD can be bought on the producers' website at http://www.zipporah.com/films/22 for a mere $34.95, but the content of the movie is extremely graphic and can be disturbing to viewers based on the treatments performed by the staff at the correctional facility (see also Introduction/Background: Historical Treatment of the Criminally Insane).
Not all of the stigma-based offenses proliferate in a physical manner, however. Beyond the physical abuse by the staff in the mental institutions, there is also an almost constant barrage of verbal assaults against the criminally insane. As a side note, while the treatment of the criminally insane has become less intolerant to the needs of the patients, many of these people continue to face physical abuse through constraints, alternative therapies such as electroshock therapy, and patient-on-patient assaults. Some of the most common verbal manifestations of these stigmas centers around the idea that the criminal insanity plea is a cop out and that everyone should be required to take responsibility for their actions no matter the circumstance. While many ideas have changed through time, the negative connotations have not, and this severely impedes any progress that can be made to the contrary.
Recent Developments
Phillip Paul: Criminally Insane Patient on the Loose
|4a. Escapee Phillip Paul
Due to a lack of standardized measures for holding and maintaining criminal patients, let alone ones that have committed violent crimes, there have been a number of instances of neglect on the part of the hospital management. In Spokane, Washington in October of 2009 a man named Phillip Paul escaped from the care of a mental hospital while on a field trip at a carnival. Paul had been convicted as not guilty by reason of insanity in 1987 after murdering an elderly woman due to a schizophrenic break. He has been in and out of mental institutions ever since. During this particular outing, 30 or more patients were on a field with minimal staff supervision. It took 3 days for authorities to find and detain Phillip; and this was not the first time that he had escaped from a mental institution (3).
This escape sparked immense debate in the Spokane residents and affiliates within the behavioral health system. Many residents spoke out in outrage that the hospital allowed criminally insane patients to "wander" around among civilians, putting the community at risk. Other, including the chief of the Office of Mental Health Services, David Weston, stated that whether you are cognizant or not, murderers are present in our society and that, "[t]he stereotype that [the criminally insane] are the most dangerous people in society is simply not true. They are much less dangerous than many routine criminals" (1).
In response to this escape, the state policies in Washington for the leniency in the forensic units and mental health facilities within the state were tightened and expressed the reality of the situation; a mentally ill man who had committed murder escaped under the direct watch of the hospital's staff due to their lax regulations and insufficient care (4).
Orderly Brutally Murdered at Napa State Hospital
In Napa State Hospital in California, a staff member was beaten to death by a criminally insane patient. But the main at play here was not the volatile nature of the patient, or the fact that he was capable of murder, what instigated this occurrence was the structure of the hospital's units/wings and the lack of state or federal support for the growing patient list. In the past few years, Napa State Hospital has had a steady increase in the number of admitted patients deemed guilty but mentally ill and not guilty by reason of insanity. While these patients are supposed to be held in the forensic unit, the ratio of staff members to patients is far below what it needs to be. On top of this, the staff that are employed are not equipped with the skills or experience to handle this special type of patient, especially the violent offenders. Most of the staff also happens to be female, while the patient base is proportionally more male in nature.
Not only is the hospital understaffed and overworked, the patients themselves are at risk. There has been multiple cases of rape, assault, and, now, murder. While the criminally insane patients are not the only ones committing these heinous acts, Napa State Hospital, among others, is unprepared and ill-equipped to handle the added burden of the continually growing number of criminally insane patients admitted to these institutions. This compromises the security of the facility, the rehabilitative capabilities and success of the facility, as well as the overall health of the patients (2).
Strides Toward More Competent Help
There have been attempts as of late to rectify the misconceived notions about the criminally insane and their subsequent maltreatment and neglect. Alphonse Gerhardstein is one such man who has dedicated a good part of his career to this endeavor. Along with a team of people, Gerhardstein attempted to improve the mental rehabilitative programs at the Ohio State Correctional Facility and institute a new system of care. This met with some opposition which he expected and at one point in an interview with Frontline, he says that "[t]here's no right to treatment under constitutional law," demonstrating his practicality in the matter of encouraging others to provide competent care to these patients. His methods proved a great success in that particular facility, but because of the disconnect between state law and federally-mandated care, the results he saw may never amount the widespread improvement desired (5).
State v. Federal Responsibility
|5a. What many believe the insanity plea to be: a "get out of jail free" card
Final Thoughts
This division of responsibility may not seem like a big dilemma at first, but the consequences prove otherwise. In many cases, the treatment is lacking and the care is nonexistent. The hospitals are not adequately staffed to be able to produce healthier individuals and to be able to see a quantifiable difference in them from when they entered the facility. It is not debated that some of these patients have committed violent acts and need extra time and attention to work on those unacceptable tendencies, but the lack of a standard manner in which to begin treatment leaves much t be desired. No one can seem to agree about how to handle the issue of treatment for the criminally insane. Each state seems to be making strides toward better programs, but cases like Phillip Paul's and he murder at Napa State prove that something has got to give. The problem with a federally mandated system would be the fact that there would most likely only be one definition for criminal insanity and individual states would not have the option to opt out of the program. But that is not to say that a completely state-run delineation would be appropriate either; this may lead to eve greater disparity in the debate.
