The illustrations in a communication which recently appeared in a reputable medical journal looked vaguely familiar to me. A hurried search in our periodical files provided a full explanation for this episode of apparent déjà vu. A truncated version of the report and a few of the identical figures (obviously provided by the senior investigator) had been printed in a medical news magazine several months before. Staffs of journals representing every medical discipline are reporting comparable experiences. Thus, in many instances, the pattern of communication between investigator and clinician has altered dramatically. Intensive efforts to provide a plethora of news reports written exclusively for physicians is a recent phenomenon. Has introduction of mass distribution news periodicals for the physician decreased the importance of traditional medical journals? Are these media truly "competitive," or are the functions they serve so different that the discretionary reader would find it impossible to substitute one

Class 6A Girls Basketball: Defending State Champs Overpower Winter Haven
Blue Devils can't overcome early deficit.
Published: Tuesday, February 11, 2014 at 11:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 11, 2014 at 11:35 p.m.
ORLANDO | Edgewater is still No.1.
The two-time defending state champion jumped out to an early first-quarter lead and never surrendered it on its way to a 67-45 Class 6A semifinals girls basketball win over No. 8 Winter Haven on Tuesday at Edgewater.
The Eagles will now face the Armwood on Friday for a right to go the FHSAA state semifinals next week.
"They are No. 1 for a reason, but I'm proud of my kids," Winter Haven head coach Johnnie Lawson said. "They just fight, fight, fight and claw. I think some of the youngness came out in some of my freshmen."
Edgewater soared to a 12-0 lead midway through the first quarter before Winter Haven was able to score against the Eagles' full-court pressure. Once the Blue Devils did, they outscored Edgewater 17-12 through the remainder of the first period.
"The way they finally calmed down, I was really excited about that," Lawson said. "We were still kind of shaky a little bit and the older kids kind of settled the young kids down."
Winter Haven eventually trimmed the lead to four in the first half before entering the halftime locker room down by 10 points, 40-30.
In the third quarter, Winter Haven pulled within six, 42-36 but could never get closer as Edgewater outscored the Blue Devils 15-9 in the quarter.
"It kind of got away from us in the second half," Lawson said. "We came out and had a good run. … There were some untimely turnovers but I will take these kids over anybody."
Winter Haven was led by Shaterika O'Neil with 18 points, sophomore Madison Wells added 11 and senior Kaylaina Young scored 10.
"We were a little shaky in the beginning but then we came through. We play as a family and we played our hearts out," Young said.
Edgewater was led by Angella Jerrigan with 17 points, Haley Clark with 13 and Nyala Shuler with 10. Victoria Patrick and Tiara McMillan each scored nine.
"We stress to our players to be disciplined and stay between them and the basket. This was a really tough game. The score says one thing but it was hard fought on both sides," Edgewater head coach Malcolm Lewis said.
WINTER HAVEN (45): Tatiana Thompson 1, Kaylaina Young 0, Shaterika O'Neil 18, Sharajah Collins 5, Maddison Wells 11. Totals: 18, 5-13, 45.
EDGEWATER (67): Nyala Shuler 10, Victoria Patrick 9, Tiara McMillan 9, Angella Jerniga 17 Tichina Smalls 1, Haley Clark 13, Victoria Lovejoy 8. Totals: 28, 7--18, 67.
Winter Haven 17 13 9 6— 45
Edgewater 24 16 15 12 — 67

"Valladolid" Top 5 Page for this destination Valladolid by darthmilmo
Valladolid Travel Guide: 97 reviews and 287 photos
I moved on to Valladolid the next day. Valladolid will serve as an exploration hub of several sites in the area. The first day I went to the tourist stricken Mayan site of Chichen-Itza. All I can say is that the site is amazing for sure, but not the best. The main tour attraction is the main plaza with the Castillo (huge pyramid/Mayan calendar), the ball court, and the temple of the 1000 columns. Chichens true beauty, however, lies in the site as a whole, with the Southern area of the complex and the northern cenote (sacred water whole). Oh, Chichen Viejo is closed indefinitely for renovations (plan on not having access to that area if you're headed there... when will they finish? no one is sure!).
The second day, I went for a swim to the Cenote of Dzitnup. There are no rivers in Yucatan since the peninsula is made of limestone. Instead, there are hundreds of underground rivers, which on occasion form a small cavern with a lake inside. These caverns are often exposed to the surface through a whole or passageway. These small caverns with lakes (water wholes) are called cenotes. Since the limestone serves as an excellent filter system, the cenote water is crystalline and pure. The Cenote Dzitnup is no exception to this rule. The combined environment of a cavern, with stalactites, and the small hole allowing light to venture inside, makes this place a great swimming experience.
The third day I went to Coba, which has the second largest pyramid in the peninsula. Coba is definitely a nice site with unique buildings among the Yucatan jungle. From the top of the huge pyramid one can see miles and miles of beautiful vegetation and ruins.
On the fourth day at Valladolid, I visited Tihosuco to see its unique museum about the Mayan Caste War. This museum shows the struggle that faced the Maya since the first Europeans arrived until the 1930's. The descendents of the Mayan fought hard against oppressive westerners with little success. In fact, from the mid 1800's to the early 1900's the Mayan rebels almost took charge of the Yucatan peninsula, however, they were stopped by the Yucatan forces, and later the Mexican forces. I learned an interesting historic point in this Museum. Similar to Texas, the Yucatan peninsula separated from Mexico in the 1800's and formed its own country. The shortly lived republic rejoined Mexico later that century. Anyway, the second half of the day I went to Felipe Carrillo Puerto to visit the Mayan temple of la Sagrada Cruz Parleante. This is a true Mayan temple, which blends the cross with native Mayan beliefs.

I loved swimming in Dzitnup, a great place to wash off the grime after Chichen-Itza and heading back to the coast. I remember paying about $3 US and having a kid lead us in, don't forget to duck!

If Poppens gets them chim-chim-cherooing, they may want to give it a gander.
While this edition of the series that never dies may include a scene with cute fresh-off-the-busser Cherry Poppens, it's a b.j.-only scene and not one which merits an investment of renters' valuable cash and wanking time all on its lonesome. For, sadly, it does conjure up more crotch movement than anything else on the tape and is the first scene out of the gate to boot, making for one very fleeting twitch of those nether regions. Until the very end, that is, when Nevah's three-finger solo probing might induce one more dying shift down there.

This is sooo cool! I do appreciate today's conveniences. But, I think I could enjoy a lengthy travel in time just for months or so so that I could experience past's traveling conditions.
I'd like to see it extended to include driving by Interstate today, as well as flying. I love traveling and it's interesting to see how much quicker we get around now.

knit into front and back?
Hi all,
My instructions say "knit into front and back of next st" and later tell me to "turn." What do these mean please? It's for a two needle baby booties and hat pattern...
The kfb (knit into front and back) is an increase and turn means to turn as if you're at the end of the row, even if there's still stitches left. For a video on kfb, look in the Increases section under `bar increase'.
So, to "turn" the work means I'm going to switch my left needle to my right hand and vice versa, and then continue to knit even though the working yarn is coming from the left needle?
Also, thanks so much for pointing me towards that video - it's really helpful, and not how I'd pictured it at all! :o)
When you get to the end of the row and turn, swapping the hands the needles are in, the working yarn is coming off the left needle too. In this case, there's still sts left on the right needle instead of it being empty.
The pattern around where it wants me to turn goes as follows: Row1: Sl 1 from left to right needle, turn, p1, k2, p2, k2. Row 2: Sl 1, turn, p1, k2 and so on...it just seems odd to have the working yarn from the right needle become working yarn from the left needle...I guess I should just try it and see?
Yep. A lot of things that are hard to see in your head make perfect sense when you follow step by step with the yarn and needles.
Thanks again for the advice; I will turn my needles and cross my toes and hope it works!
Hi. I'm new to knitting and just encountered this. I did a search on You tube (knitting back and front) and I got a great video that demonstrates this. Check it out. I don't have the link on me, but it was easy to find. It really helped.

Gender and Climate Change: Durban Explores the Intersection
by Rebecca Lefton
DURBAN — Most people do not think of climate change as a gender issue. But experts at the COP 17 climate conference in Durban, South Africa are trying to raise awareness of the disproportionate impact that a changing climate has on women.
Women are responsible for collecting water that is becoming increasingly scarce, and they are needing to travel farther distances to reach clean water supplies. Women are primarily responsible for putting food on the table, but food prices are rising and as climate change worsens agricultural productivity. And women are often the most vulnerable in war and regional conflicts, which will be exacerbated by resource scarcity.
A discussion held yesterday in Durban focused on these impacts. The panel featured the Honorable Mary Robinson, the former president of Ireland and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. In addressing climate resilience, Robinson stressed the importance of focusing on health and burden impacts of climate change. One of the keys is access to reproductive health for women.
However, access to reproductive health is not on the agenda during COP 17 in Durban. This absence is in part a product of the United Nations system, which segments women's rights, reproductive health and climate change initiatives under different bodies—encompassed by UN Women, UN Population Fund and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change respectively.
On December 7, Robinson and other prominent female leaders at the COP, including Christina Figueres, Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC and Connie Hedegaard, European Commission Commissioner for Climate Action, are convening a high-level meeting to identify the intersections between climate change and gender. The goal is to ensure that the COP outcomes have an appropriate focus on gender issues and to continue focus on the issue outside of the negotiations.
The linkages between climate change and family planning are still nascent. For instance, only one country's national adaption plan includes reproductive health as a strategy — and that program is unfunded, said Roger-Mark De Souza of Population Action International. Yet, most of the places that are most vulnerable to climate change are also the same places that have a need for family planning.
We are missing out on opportunities to address global warming, health and women's rights simultaneously. There is vast opportunity to make a cost-effective investment in reproductive health while also addressing climate change.
When crafting responses to climate change, we must also consider the impact on women and girls and include them in decision-making at all levels. Ensuring economic opportunities, providing education, and ensuring access to reproductive services can help limit vulnerability and improve health outcomes for women and the planet.

This child speaks for humanity in my view. Substitute "women" for "Jonah" and the story is the same. In Spades. We are the 99%and we have your back. We have the will to help. We do not have the power. YET! With our help, "You", (ALL), will be so much stronger. With your help, WE will be so much stronger as well. "United we stand, divided we fall." The "Jonah's" and the "women" of the world are so much stronger than they give themselves credit for.
One movement, one ultimate victory, the time is NOW!
An Elder…
It is still true that if you want to liberate women, you must also liberate men. Piecemeal strategies have had a marginal effect over the last 50 years because in an unequal world, everybody ultimately loses.
We ARE one but we have been split so many ways, into nations, species, genders etc, and pitted against each other by our adversarial system, that we have lost sight of the whole.
It is more than time to reinstate the whole and come together around it as equals. When we move towards the whole, all the parts benefit. This is not new or difficult and new diverse coalitions are showing the way, ME
I think this is an incredibly important issue. It puzzles me that more feminists are not involved in climate change campaigning.
There are many excellent women involved, for example Joanna Macy: http://www.ecobuddhism.org/wisdom/interviews/jmacy
and Naomi Klein: http://www.thenation.com/article/164497/capitalism-vs-climate?page=0,0
but not, it seems to me specifically on women's issues.
If we look at the worst case scenario where civilised society breaks down completely with many millions of premature deaths and the survivors reverting to a dark-ages way of life ruled over by tribal warlords, the prospect for women is bleak indeed.
It seems to me that a major underpinning of the progress women have made (in some countries) in achieving near-equal rights with men has two aspects. One is the invention of labour-saving devices from the industrial revolution onwards, meaning that the superior physical strength of young adult men is no longer vital to keep society functioning. The other, in my opinion more important, is the availability of reliable methods of contraception.
Both of these would disappear in a primitive, post climate-apocalypse society and women would once again become mere chattels of the most powerful men in their tribe. Infant mortality would once again be very high and women of child-bearing age would be permanently pregnant or nursing.
So women would lose even more than men. Feminists would do a great service for all women if they publicised this and women could be a considerable force against the denialists (mostly wealthy, white , middle-aged or older men, by the way).
It is imperative that women step up their fight against global warming. Psychologically, they are more receptive to information and the compassion for others and especially our prodigy.
Women successfully led the charge to ban alcohol and save San Francisco Bay from over development. And, this was years ago when they had even less clot than today.
We need all humans working on this one.
Women generally are intimately connected to the environment more than men. A great percent of sub-Saharan Africa women look after children and work on farmlands in rural areas while their men job in capital cities. Greatly, these Women primarily spend more time collecting water, gathering firewood and prolonged drought has forced women to walk and travel long distances to get water.
Women producers and farmers in Kenyan Rural area are engaged in a number of on-farm and of-farm economic activities threatened by climate changes. While these activities are crucial for the development of the country, the technologies used to achieve the end products are time-consuming, energy-wasting and, therefore, very expensive in terms of the lives of women in Kenya.
Placing women at the heart of sustainable development strategies is the much needed drive that will serve as a sound track for the clean future action, climate change mitigation and global warming awareness tool. And Educating sub-Saharan smallhold farming women on impact and implication of climate change is essential in the green future drive. Practically, by providing them with good knowledge, extended services on appropriate technological innovation, storage facilities and resource management will make climate change mitigation and adaptation goal achievable.

You say you love me.
What a joke.
You say you wold care if I died today.
Such a lie.
I'm already gone, but you haven't even noticed.
I'm dead.
A hollow corpse.
Most people say their parents are annoying.
But if something goes wrong, their parents are their salvation.
I used to think that too.
What I felt was but a hoax.
Saviors are angels, but my parents are no such thing.
My life is like a Cinderella story without the happy ending.
Everything I do turns to punishment.
I clean everyday, trying to please my parents, to no avail.
Yelling is their evil little torture.
My siblings are the evil ones.
But do they get what they deserve?
One could only dream of a miracle like that.
The older ones do nothing but play around town, while I am forced to do my "chores".
Once in a lifetime I am free from my prison cell, but almost all the days of happiness are dead.
I decay in front of your eyes, but you can't see.
My true salvation is of the arts.
The gentle, sweet, liquid sound that is My Chemical Romance.
The picturesque ways of stories and books.
The soft hum in the back of my mind when I finish the last detail of my feelings on canvas.
That is when I truly feel free.
But when you take part of that succulent salvation away from me, I am trapped.
During those times my friends comfort my pained chest.
I wish it could end.
To take it away would be a dream come true.
But dreams never come true.
Will you finally save me, or watch me burn to ashes?
Either way is better than this living Hell.
Will You Save Me? by kaymirtasWatch

I wrote this after I was mad at my mom. These are my true feelings, and I hope you like!
This is deep. I can't say I relate with all of this, but I know people who feel that way. It will get better, that I know for sure. Thanks for sharing this amazing work
You are very welcome! I hope it does get better. If it doesn't, I'll be so screwed, because I want to go to this one concert, which would mean the world to me! If I don't go I might die. Hopefully my dad lets me go.
I know where you're coming from, and it's so sad. :/
Very well written, though. I loved it. <3

Skip to comments.Rocky Mountain News publishes final edition
Posted on 02/27/2009 7:04:03 AM PST by Redbob
DENVER Questions about the future of the Rocky Mountain News had become so common, the newspaper's staff put up a handwritten paper sign on the news desk that said, "We don't know."
On Thursday, someone wrote over it in heavy black marker: "Now we know."
Colorado's oldest newspaper, which launched in Denver in 1859, printed its last edition Friday, leaving The Denver Post as the only daily newspaper in town.
Since 2001, the News has shared business operations with The Denver Post in a joint operating agreement between Scripps and The Post's owner, MediaNews Group Inc.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
I smell another bailout.
This all about content.
Good riddance to another foul smelling rag.
"Sniff you jerks later"
It will be sorely missed. Ha!
Rot in Hell Liberal fish wrap....
The Rocky wasn't half bad. Too bad it croaked instead of the Denver Post.
So... I'm guessing by the gneral tone of the comments that it won't be much missed?
Am I interpreting these remarks correctly?
True, but there are too many small and poorly run newspapers out there. This is just a time of contraction, people.
In the 1890-1910 time period, New York City had 6 newspapers.
Hey, MileHi, how are you doing?
The Rocky got hosed by the Post with the JOA. Same thing happened to the conservative Tulsa Tribune when they entered into a JOA with the liberal Tulsa World.
Hey Rocky, how is that "Better Red Than Read" plan working out for you?
Doing well, hunkering down.
The gloating here on FR is disgusting.
I thought we celebrate the Bill of Rights — right to bear arms and all that?
A free press is in the Bill of Rights, too, folks. The Founders recognized and protected its worth. With the direction this government is headed now, you may find out the hard way how much you need it.
Newspapers are a victim of the same principle that reduced the demand for carbon paper and saddlery. Don't pat yourselves on the back thinking that right-wingers put newspapers out of business.
Every time a print publication closes its doors, we lose an outlet to criticize and keep government in check. They did it (to howls of dismay from the left) to Bill & Monica, and those that remain will hound the big O.
Sad day for Colorado. Let's hope the Chicago presses keep running, because we need them.
It seems that the liberal media just doesn't comprehend what the people want. In addition they will continue to attempt to shove liberalism down our throats until they go broke doing so. That's fine with me. Democrats take note. Your fate is in the making.
We sure don't need a gang of "free press" that is all in lock step with each other and only with one political party. NOT a sad day for anyone.
Dead Tree Media goes out of business? Who would have thunk it?
Even with its recent slide to the left, Denver will be worse off without the Rocky. The Post is the one that should have been killed. The truth of the matter is that Scripps didn't want to save the Rocky. They could have buried the Post back in the 90s but didn't.
I thought we celebrate the Bill of Rights right to bear arms and all that?
The Rocky has been collectivist fish-wrap for over twent-five years.
You confuse a free press with newspapers.
The Rocky has been collectivist fish-wrap for over twent-five years.
However, those filthy rags, and their owners and editors have only two things in mind;Elect a democrat at all costs, on all ballots, and turn this country into a socialist utopia. News be damned, truth be damned, vilify and obfuscate, sort opinions from news, and flush actual news or slant it in their favor. Screw them, and their ilk.
/jaw drop
What reality do you exist in?
It's hard for me to comprehend the effort it must take to have remained completely blind and deaf to the world around you.
I think you miss the problem completely. We also have free choice to read what want and spend our money as we see fit. It has nothing to do with the Free press. They are free to continue printing something nobody wants.
Isn't someone supposed the trademark "Dinosaur Media Deathwatch" or something like that?
Something else will rise from the ashes, most likely on the Internet. We do not need "gatekeepers" of information, especially when those self-proclaimed "gatekeepers" can't be trusted to do the right (or American) thing. And as far as the Bill of Rights is concerned, the media only cares about this document when it suits their needs. They'll do their jobs in hyper-drive when a Republican admin is in office or the GOP controls Congress. But when the Dems are in charge, forget about it. They happily sit by and watch the country circle the bowl, because they agree with the steps being taken to "fix" the problems. Sorry, no sympathy here.
The larger and remaining paper in Denver is more left leaning.
Stuff and nonsense. The gloating is not about the death of an organ of free speech as others have commented, any more than it would be if we were gladdened that a person who spoke twisted truths was heard no more. We upheld their right to be heard by not firebombing their offices and by maintaining the system of law that would punish such actions. No further support is owed to a particular speaker.
Put another way, you confuse the Bill of Rights with a license to lie, distort and mislead, free from criticism and free from the forces of the market place of ideas (and technology).
Folks, it's not just liberal papers in peril...
Conservative papers have lost viewership and advertising, sometimes at a FASTER rate.
The libertarian paper I write for is okay right now, but it is tight and still a bit scary. This is not just a liberal paper issue. Often center-right papers like the Washington Times already have smaller circulations anyway, so any drop will have a greater impact.
The Internet, the economy.....everything is coming together for a perfect storm.
The problem is, conservative papers are doing just as bad or even worse.
The only reason my economically conservative paper is doing okay is that they run a ship so tight you barely any anything budgeted for office supplies.
we need free presses...true
but we don't have that anymore, nearly all of them are collaborators
You seem to be missing something. The point of all the gloating is not that we are losing our first amendment, but rather that the liberal main stream media LIBERAL MSM is losing SOME influence. Every little bit helps.
The fact that the liberal press has and continues to greatly influence public opinion toward liberalism, and away from conservative principles, is not at all a loss to conservativsm.
We still have a voice, at least for now, but it sure as heck is not promoted by any newspaper that is run by liberals.
Back to the horse and 'buggy' days. My newspaper seems to be holding on. In mid size towns where you tend to know a lot of people, you are more apt to want to keep up with local news.
We need to figure out how to do this to network TV News. Fox is owned 10 or 15% with Saudi money. The rest are just as bad. They killed us in 008 and are killing us now with their messiah fawning.
You've got a great point, but I'll bet you're taking a drubbing here Jed!
True, all the MSM is lefties, true all they're interested in doing is electing Democrats.
However, but all us NRA'ers are righties, and all we're interested in is electing, well, conservatives (not RINOs.)
When it gets to the point that we want the Press to go out of business because they want us to lose our guns, then the "Bill of Rights" has really lost its meaning. The point of the Constitution was as a pact that we'd defend each other's rights to say/do something we disagreed with (we'd defend their right to be anti-gun, and they'd defend our right to be anti-communist.) Turned out to be a suicide pact after all.
Chilling CHAMPAGNE for when I hear that the OLD GREY LADY will finally die!!
Don't worry — I can take it. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy making others think.
This is not a time to be soft, either in body or mind, and some of the knee-jerk blabber by both right and left needs to be challenged.
If we truly do believe in the Constitution, in the rights it protects and the principles it advances, then we must defend all of it, not just what suits us at the moment.
LOL! Where do you do that?
Posting a contrary opinion on FR usually just makes a stink instead of making people think.
Conservative papers? Plural? Really? Can you name one?
I subscribe to a conservative periodical, and I might allow as to the possibility that there are several, but the last conservative paper I saw was a student paper back in the seventies that was hounded out of existance by the liberal majority at the university. The leftists called and threatened the advertisers until there wasn't any more income. They had to close.
Unfortunately even your paper's Letter To Mr. Ed are increasingly infected with crazy lying Socialists
I believe this will radically increase as Hussein the Unhung has funded hordes of radical propangandists in his Reparations & Wagyu Steak Bill
Resolved: that sam_paine and jedidah will think through the stink!
(And thanks for the grin.)
I smile a bit everytime a Deadtree media source goes out of business. Not because I want to see Free Speech die or people put out of work instead I smile because I know market forces are forcing out wasteful enterprises.
Dead Tree Media is slow and mostly stale by the time it hits the streets, not to mention the clossal waste of time , money and energy cutting and transporting dead tress around to make waste that ends up in a landfill.
Deadtree media will go the way of the buggy whip. Its not needed anymore with the internet and 3G communications filling the bill.
Yes, we have a lot of back and forth. Many of the most vocal are actually from tiny surrounding towns. One day it may be all pro Obama and then the retaliation comes. Can only write a letter to the Editor once a month.
I gave up posting on their forum, can't change their minds about anything and you get lambasted with lies.
I agree with you, mostly. But then the scaredy side of my brain starts thinking about EMP attacks and how we would live and communicate if we were suddenly deprived of technology.
We ought to have a memorial with the final day scans of the front pages of these papers as they die.

Firefighters eye woodstove, chimney as cause of Derry fire
The occupant of the 3 Pingree Hill Rd. home reported the fire at 6:52 p.m. Firefighters arrived four minutes later to find fire in the attic of the single-story home. They had it under control in about 30 minutes.
No one was hurt.
The fire caused moderate damage to the attic, and smoke and water damage to the living areas. It remains under investigation...

Hello all. We are stopping in Interlaken for two nights this summer. We are staying in Wilderswil. I hope to have most of the first afternoon and evening and then a full day in the area to explore. I want to be in the mountains, hubby loves trains and the kids (17 and 22) want to ride bikes.
At this point, it looks as though going up the Jungfraujoch is about $200 per person, without any kind of rail pass or half-price card. Since we are in Switzerland for just a couple of days, we don't have any of the above. Am I correct about that?
However, it looks as though getting around Lauterbrunnen, Murren and Grindlewald is much more reasonably priced. What about Kleine Scheidegg? The Eiger? I have looked at maps, travel guides, websites etc. and I am throughly confused.
The kids want to rent bikes and ride around. Where does one do that in the area? Not mountain biking straight down steep hillsides, more flat biking next to lakes is what I am thinking.
Thank you for your collective knowledge and wisdom.

yes that is way too low - return fare from Interlaken is 197 Swiss francs or well over $200 p.p.>
If doing that the Jungfraubahnpass costs 250 CH F and covers many many other railways including to Murren and the Schilthorn I believe.
Are you traveling around Switzerland much - then you can get a Swiss Pass which would take you in full to Murren, Wilderswill, Grindelwald, Wengen, etc - with a Swiss Pass you could buy the Jungfraubahn Pass at 50% off, too.
Anyway for lots of great info on Swiss trains, the Interlaken area trains and conveyances, etc check out these IMO fantastic sites - www.swisstraverlsystem.com; www.ricksteves.com; www.budgeteuropetravel.com.

She says she will be staying in Wilderswil. From there to Jungfraujoch is CHF 186.20 and that's 199.34 US Dollar by google conversion. 200USD seems pretty accurate to me. (even 197 is about USD210, not that far...

Thanks everyone. Necker, your last link was really helpful.

The restaurant you refer to is on Schilthorn, an easy and not too expensive trip from Lauterbrunnen, which is worth a visit in itself.

Thanks Marg. At this point it looks as though we will go through Lauterbrunnen and up to Murren on one day, and then maybe take a trip over to Grindlewald on another day.

Piz Gloria is the name of the revolving restaurant on the Schilthorn summit - in the film it was still under construction.

Piz Gloria is one of our best memories in Europe. Of course, you only want to go on a clear day so don't book ahead of time. We just had a drink at the revolving restaurant but you can have lunch also. The views from the restaurant and the outdoor viewing platform are absolutely stunning.
Getting up there is fun with the train, Lauterbrunnen,a walk thru Murren, and the cable car. Worth every penny. Unfortunately I don't remember the cost.

As I mentioned above....77 CHF RT to the Schilthorn!
Big cost differerence for a great experience!

that's 77 francs retour from Murren - and if you have a Swiss Pass it's 50% off and all travel to Murren - either route via Grutschalp gondolas and train to Murren or Murren gondola down to Gimmelwald and Stecxhelberg, back down in the valley and postal bus to Lauterbrunnen is 100% covered by a Swiss Pass.
And yes Schilthorn to me is remarkable and well worth whatever it takes. Energetic folks can hike back down to Murren though the initial descent from Schilthorn was a bit unnerving for me at least.

U.S. Defense, Education Cuts May Damage Oklahoma, Governor Says
U.S. spending cuts under President Barack Obama's plan to reduce the national debt may curb military budgets and hurt the Oklahoma economy, Governor Mary Fallin said.
The state may also be affected by cuts in education aid and highway funding by the Joint Select Committee, said Fallin, 56, a Republican who took office in January. The committee is charged with finding $1.5 trillion of spending cuts over 10 years under a debt-reduction deal Obama reached with Congress.
Defense-spending cuts "will have an impact," Fallin said in an interview at Bloomberg headquarters in New York. "We're watching what Congress is doing. We have to be wise.'"
Federal civilian and military spending accounted for about 5.7 percent of Oklahoma personal income in 2009, according to the state's 2010 financial report. The state also depends on manufacturing, including some military, for 8.2 percent of personal income.
State and local economies may be hurt by cuts in federal spending on Medicare, Medicaid and other so-called entitlement programs, said Natalie Cohen, senior analyst with Wells Fargo & Co. in a report dated Aug. 16. States derive 28 percent of their revenue from federal sources, according to the report.
Though Oklahoma takes funding for highways, Fallin has rejected $54.6 million of payments to establish insurance exchanges under Obama's plan to overhaul the health-care system. The state is receiving $589.7 million under the National Highway Trust Fund, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Government.
Tax Cut
The state closed a $500 million deficit in its fiscal 2012 budget by cutting education spending and reducing allocations to other programs, Fallin said. Oklahoma also lowered its top personal income-tax rate by 0.25 percentage point, to 5.25 percent.
The governor has been visiting other states, such as Illinois, to try to lure companies to relocate by promoting the tax cut and other initiatives designed to attract new businesses. Oklahoma had a 5.3 percent unemployment rate in June, one of the lowest in the U.S.

A fun and original time waster
This is a great game to kill time with. Has good sound, great physics and the concept of the game is very original for an iphone game. The gameplay is fun and addicting but a little basic at the moment. I would like to see the game expanded upon to include levels/challenges, such as levels where you are given a limited amount of spoons, make 4 in a cup out of 10 tries to advance to the next challenge or see how many spoons you can make in out of 100 attempts(for example). So more game modes/ set challenges would be awesome. Also, adding online leaderboards and achievements would be great.
Great time waster!
Was free and I think they need to make it free again, because I don't think it's worth 99 cents, but very fun. It's easy to just play and put away, especially at work.
Great app!! Super addicting!!! I can't put my phone down!!! I find the smallest stack the most difficult. Great job!!!

RESTing at Impact !!!
rbarcia 1000005FXD 2,570 Views
Hi guys and gals, hope all is well. IBM Impact 2009 is on its way. I will be there. Somehow, I managed to end up presenting 7 lectures and 4 labs. I am not sure why I do this to myself. I don't even plan out to do this many sessions. Last year, I took great pleasure in delegating. This year, the delegation just did not happen. Though I do have great co-presenters and lab advocates, so I may be able to escape here and there to see some other great sessions. Even though I am quite busy, I plan to take a REST!!!
I am the track lead for Application Development and Web 2.0. One of the major themes for this track is REST. We have great sessions in the technical track around REST. Here is the list of sessions (Lectures only, will Blog on Labs soon), their speakers, and their time slots:
** REST and SOA: Kyle Brown, Roland Barcia, and Greg Truty: Monday 3:45 - 5:00* Introduction to REST: Greg Truty: Monday 2:00-3:15 and Wed 1:30-2:45* Case Study on REST at LexisNexis: Bruce Maxfield from LexisNexis and Roland Barcia: Monday 5:15 - 6:30* Best Practices for Building REST Web Services: Roland Barcia and Greg Truty: Tuesday 10:30 - 11:45* Realizing REST Patterns with WebSphere sMash: Roland Barcia: Tuesday 4:45 - 6:00* SOA, Give it a REST: Jerry Hermes from the Navy Federal Credit Union and Russ Teubner from HostBridge Technology: Web 1:30 - 2:45 * Using REST and WS Specifications in the Cloud: Doug Tidwell: Wed 4:45 - 6:00* Secure and Scalable REST Services in Web 2.0 with IBM Mashup Center: John Boezeman and Joel A.

RESTful patterns for partial lists
rbarcia 1000005FXD 2 Comments 2,438 Views
Merry Christmas and sorry for not posting in a few days. I was trying to meet the deadline for getting the updates for my book to the publisher and Geoff and I had to pull a couple of all nighters. The title of the book is Persistence in the Enterprise and it should be released soon. I also just published an article on using the EJB 3 FP for WebSphere.
I wanted to post on this a few days back. In the first installment of my Project Zero Series (Part 2 based on Milestone 3 will be released shortly) we discuss RESTful patterns. One of the things that we covered is RESful patterns for getting a list of all items and a single record.
* http://host/resources/customer will return a list of customers.* http://host/resources/customer/roland will return the record for Roland.
One thing I have been getting asked is how do I RESTfully interact with a partial list. Not pagination of a list, but specifically asking for a list based on a set of keys. This is equivalent toselect * from table where key in (a,b,c,d,e). The most typical use case for this feature I have seen is a "Compare" feature in a shopping application, where I may select 3 or 4 items to compare side by side. By selecting a checkbox and clicking compare, I need to generate a RESTful URI with 3-4 keys. One thing to note that REST allows the use of query parameters as an alternative.
http://host/resources/customer/roland and http://host/resources/customer&customerId=Roland are both perfectly RESTful. I know that some people prefer not to use query parameters this way to access a single record. The rule of thumb I have heard is use the URI namespace for primary keys or other mandatory fields, and query parameters for filter criteria or optional parameters. With that in mind, there are three options for this RESTful query
Option 1: Namespace Option.
In this case, you add a set of keys after the product. This may require you to do some parsing of the URI, and it can be confusing if keys are Strings, because nested URI names can also imply relationships such as /category/3/product
Option 2: Multiple Query parameters for key
Most servers will give you an array back.
Option 3: Single comma separated key parameter.
This one seems more compact and straight forward, but again you have to parse yourself. However, if your service implementation is using a Select * from Product where productId IN(23,24,244,33), then you can pass this request parameter fairly simply into the In clause. Although with some implementations, building queries this way may by pass prepared statements.

Coding Servlets is cool again
rbarcia 1000005FXD 2,417 Views
With the EJB 3 and Ajax Patterns, I am finding it much easier to code Service Endpoints in Servlets, rather than using frameworks sometimes. Traditionally, the use of MVC abstractions was favored because a lot of view logic was handled in the Container. But for Ajax apps coded in something like Dojo, I find myself just writing RESTful Services for Java EE apps in Servlets. The fact that I can inject Session Beans right into them makes it easy to hook up Ajax endpoints to business logic. Below is an example of a Servlet using the JSON4J API that is part of the WebSphere Web 2.0 Feature Pack.
public class Product extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet @EJB private ProductSearchService productSearchService; protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { response.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json" ); if(request.getPathInfo() != null) { try { int productId = Integer.parseInt(request.getPathInfo().substring(1)); org.pwte.example.domain.Product product = productSearchService.loadProduct(productId); JSONObject productJson = ProductToJsonHelper.serializeProductToJson(product); productJson.serialize(response.getWriter()) ; } catch (ProductDoesNotExistException e) { response.sendError(response.SC_NOT_FOUND) ; } catch (Exception e) { response.sendError(response.SC_BAD_REQUEST) ; } } else if (request.getParameter("category" ) != null) { try { int categoryId = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("category" )) ; List
Of course, writing logic to move between POJO's and JSON is not as fun. Forwarding to a JSP template to do this could be easier. Or using a higher level API like that in the RPC package may be preferred as well.[Read More]
Social Web takes Social skills, so what about private people?
rbarcia 1000005FXD 2,300 Views
I have not written a blog entry in a couple months. To tell you the truth, I struggle with blogging. I consider myself a private person in many aspects of my life. It is funny that my role at work is forcing me to be more 'social' than I would normally be. I like people, don't get me wrong, but the social web takes social skills.
Anyone who knows me knows I can talk one on one. Once I get started, it is hard to shut me up. But in crowds I tend to like to move to the back and observe.
It is funny, when I go to my parents house with my wife and kids, my wife and parents dominate the conversation. I do try to get a word in edge wise, but I find myself out quickly. Part of that is because my Father and Wife just interrupt me. So I have become used to it. I actually leave the room and play with my kids and my sister's kids like a big kid myself.
I started to think about the reason, and I found that the conversation actually does not interest me. They talk about 'so and so' over here, and that person over there, typically called gossiping, which I do not like to do (and the Bible, since I am a Christian, actually discourages it).
So relating that to the 'social web', one can very quickly find that if you are in the wrong community, you may not have much to say. Now, I have a lot to say about Web 2.0, Middleware, etc... so there are other things.
I look at social websites like Facebook. I have an account, with friends. They all post a lot of pictures, send virtual gifts, and other types of applications. I do not like these things too much. First off, I would much rather receive a real gift. Also, I don't like posting pictures of my family. I seem to think the web has a lot of security problems and the pictures wind up in some sick-o site. The status feature is interesting, except, do I want the world to know what I am doing. Though I enjoy reading what others are doing. I have found the scrabble app as cool, and I play a lot with my wife, so that is fun.
I like to share, I try to teach my kids this all the time. But do I want to share what I am doing, or where I am flying?
I think it comes down to is I like to interact with people face to face, I like being around people and listening to them more than talking, and I like to contribute what I know, but not every single thing I am doing. I also like to work in smaller groups of people.
But what about more 'private' people. Maybe they are read only members of the social web.
This is a rant I know, and I am going to post next on a technical topic. But isn't this what blogging is suppose to be about?
Anyway, it takes 'social' skills to be on the social web. This is something I have to work on I guess.

Persistence in the Enterprise
rbarcia 1000005FXD 2,258 Views
I have just finished 5 straight weeks of conferences starting with IBM Impact and finishing last week at the WebSphere Services Technical Conference which is an internal conference. I am glad it finished. Last week, my book, Persistence in the Enterprise was released.
Besides myself, my coauthors are Geoff Hambrick, Kyle Brown, Robert Peterson, and Kulvir Bhogal. The book focuses on the persistence layer of an application. The first half of the book is primarily focused on things like requirements (persistence focused), design, best practices, and criteria for selecting a persistence layer. The second half of the book focuses on implementing those using 5 different technologies: JDBC, IBatis, Hibernate, OpenJPA, and pureQuery.[Read More]
Chat on Dojo Toolkit and WebSphere Web 2.0 FP

Google's Application Centric Browser, very similar to what WebSphere sMash does on the server.
rbarcia 1000005FXD 2,170 Views
A Beta Driver of the new Google Browser has been released for Windows (which leaves us MAC users waiting to try it.) There has been a lot of blogs and comments on the new browser so I am not going to discuss a laundry list of features, but focus in on the application centric approach.
I love that each tab is it's own process, and that application isolation can be achieved on the client. One thing I love about Web 2.0 and Ajax is the focus on applications. Having your desktop run different apps rather than one monolithic browser process obviously solves a lot of issues.
By the way, this is exactly the model that WebSphere sMash (Project Zero) has for applications on the server. Every application runs in its own process, and you do not deploy an app to a server, you just run the app, which is the server.
Today, I just released a new article (with Steve Ims as a co-author) on WebSphere sMash (this is actually a rewrite of last years article we did on P0, but with the latest driver and tools). We discuss application centric design of sMash in the article.
The google browser model matches what we have been doing with WebSphere sMash and Project Zero on the server. I can definitely see an architecture where applications running on the desktop call applications in the cloud that service them (or are bound to them as shown in the figure below).

First Post
So for my first post, I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Roland Barcia, but a lot of people call me Roly. I work for IBM Software Services for WebSphere . I am a Senior Technical Staff Member (STSM) and Lead Web 2.0 Architect for my group. My focus is to help customers apply Web 2.0 concepts using our SWG, specifically in the WebSphere Brand. I specialize in various platforms, including the new Project Zero Platform, The Web 2.0 Feature Pack for WebSphere , the EJB 3 Feature Pack, and other areas such as WebSphere MQ or DataPower in the context of Web 2.0.
I am going to post on Web 2.0 topics related to middleware, specifically building services around REST, data access in a web 2.0 context, Ajax Patterns, and anything else related to Web 2.0 that may apply. I will talk about technologies like Project Zero and the Dojo Toolkit, and comment generally on what I see people doing in the Web 2.0 space, and try to be as objective as possible.
My latest entries can also be seen on the new Developer Works Project Zero Space.
I hope you enjoy my blog!

Ninja Kiwi® and IriySoft™ Unveil Top Strategy Game with Cursed Treasure HD for iPad
Critically Acclaimed Tower Defense Game Released Exclusively on the App Store for iPad
The Cursed Treasure flash game was first released in 2010, followed by a stand-alone expansion in 2011, and both games have earned critical acclaim and top marks from players, including a Best of 2010 award from top game review site jayisgames.com and top player-rated strategy game on Kongregate, a leading flash game portal. In Cursed Treasure, the player takes the role of an evil Overlord, protecting a horde of gems from invading waves of heroes. The player must decide which of 3 tower types to build, where to build them, and which towers to upgrade with new abilities in order to stop those relentless heroes.
Cursed Treasure HD brings all of the fun of both the original and expansion games together with brand new content only available on iPad. All new HD graphics, all 30 levels combined in one game, 24 Game Center achievements, special powers available through in-app purchase, and brand new skill upgrades combine to provide many hours of play and replay in order to unlock all of the skills and complete all levels with the coveted Brilliant rating. "We want Cursed Treasure HD to be a must-have game for iPad, and Ninja Kiwi have been great partners in helping make that happen. We completely rebuilt the game, so in addition to all of the new iPad-exclusive features, we have rebalanced the entire game to create a new seamless gameplay experience through all 30 levels," says Dmitry Pavlenko, President of IriySoft. "We are confident that new players will enjoy the innovations Cursed Treasure brings to tower defense games, and we trust fans of the flash game will agree with us that the definitive version of Cursed Treasure now lives on iPad."
"As creators and designers of the top-selling Bloons® TD 4 on iOS, we've gained expertise in producing and publishing high quality strategy games," says Chris Harris, Managing Director of Ninja Kiwi. "We are delighted to partner with IriySoft to bring another definitive strategy game to the App Store with Cursed Treasure HD."
