Growth in First Quarter IT Hiring Projected
By Daniel Margolis, Associate Editor —
The conventional wisdom among economic forecasters says that the U.S. economy is entering 2007 in a fragile state. Economists polled by MSNBC.com see growth in the gross domestic product slowing to just 2.3 percent for the full year.
This pessimism, however, is not reflected in the employment picture for IT professionals. According to IT staffing firm Robert Half Technology�s latest �IT Hiring Index and Skills Report,� the first quarter of �07 should see solid growth in IT hiring.
Sixteen percent of CIOs polled by Robert Half Technology reported they planned to add IT staff in the next three months, with only 2 percent anticipating cutbacks during that time. That net hiring increase of 14 percent is the highest the firm has recorded since the fourth quarter of 2001, and it is up 4 percent from the previous quarter�s forecast.
�2006 was the first overall good year we�ve had really since �01 and even in �01, it was more the first half of �01 because we were already in a downturn, depending on what part of the country you were in,� said John Estes, Robert Half Technology vice president. �So, it�s been a long time coming. A lot of hiring managers were maybe a little reluctant before � they wanted to see some long term growth, and now they�re finally going, �OK, looks like things are good and are going to stay good for a while. Let�s move forward and add staff.��
What this means for people working in IT is much more choice about where to go, and why, for perhaps the first time in years.
�It�s been a long time since a lot of these IT professionals have really been in demand like this,� Estes said. �When we call people nowadays and offer them a position, they�ve got multiple positions to choose from, whereas even this past year and certainly in 2005, if we called them, they might have had one other thing going on. It�s definitely turned into an employee-driven market, and you�d have to go back to the dot-com days � which seems like ancient history � to find (the last) employee-driven market.�
Seventy-seven percent of CIOs surveyed in the report rank Microsoft Windows administration as the skill set most in demand, which Estes chalks up to IT being in a growth mode now, particularly when it comes to staffing.
�When you�re adding head count, every new employee gets a PC,� Estes said. �Somebody somewhere has to add that person to the network, give that person write-and-read capability and set up user profiles. Combine that with Microsoft�s continual upgrades, and it�s almost like a perfect storm.�

Nothing worth having in business come cheap!
As with any other service that you purchase in your working life if a company is offering a search engine optimisation package that looks too good to be true, Guess what, It probably is!
In this post I will give you a list of questions that you should ask your SEO Company before committing to any SEO campaign.
By asking these simple questions you will avoid getting burned by unscrupulous "SEO Cowboys" that don't deliver on their promises.
- Will you analyse my website? - A trained and experienced SEO technician will need to analyse your website and will provide exact details on the onsite work that they will be carrying out. It is impossible for a company to give you quote with carrying out this work so don't pay for this service.
- Will you analyse my competitions websites? - It is imperative to analyse the link strategies of your fiercest online competitors to assess how many quality inbound links they have to their site. This information will help your SEO Company assess how much work will be needed to topple them a in the searches.
- Who does the link building? - Many companies will offer you hundreds if not thousands of links in a matter of minutes! Remember the golden rule "if it sounds too good to be true it usually is"! Good quality back links take time to find, even more time to contact and even more to maintain. If you're SEO Company uses an automated system or outsources your campaign it is impossible to quality control the links. It is not just the amount of back links your site has! Google gives far more weight to their quality.
- How quickly will I see results? - Beware any company that offers quick fixes! There is no such thing in SEO. Search engine optimisation requires a "reasonable amount" of time to attain the best results and even then there are never any guarantees. At Virtua Webtech we like to base our campaigns on a 6 month schedule as we feel that is a fair time to achieve results your looking for, but every company may have its own ideas.
A final thought...
There are a lot of SEO companies out there who provide a very good service and as long as they answer the questions above to your satisfaction they will most likely come through on their promises.
Just remember that nothing in life worth having comes cheap! and if you forget everything else in this post, please take this one thought away with you...

Home > Explore! > Bedrock Geology > Field Localities > South Branch Ponds Brook A Geological Traverse along South Branch Ponds Brook, Baxter State ParkAn area of outstanding natural beauty, Baxter State Park is home to some of Maine's most unique geology. Mount Katahdin's huge granite massif yields northward to lower peaks underlain with volcanic rhyolite and valleys underlain with sandstone and fossiliferous shale. For those willing to put in a little effort, a fabulous cross section of this geology can be toured along South Branch Ponds Brook between South Branch Pond and Trout Brook. To access this part of the Park, enter through the North Gate via Route 159 from Patten. Follow the perimeter road as it winds its way along Trout Brook for about 9 miles where it intersects the South Branch Pond Road. The pond is about 3 miles up this road, but about a mile from the end is a parking area on the right (west) side. From this point a trail leads about ¼ mile downhill to South Branch Ponds Brook and the starting point for this traverse. The best way to see these units is by walking the brook on a hot summer day. Wear a bathing suit so you can take advantage of the deep swimming holes you encounter along the way. If you walk the brook all the way from the trail to the bridge across Trout Brook the distance is about 2.5 miles. It is best to check with a Park Ranger about brook conditions before proceeding. The units you will see are presented on the geologic map of the area and briefly described below from oldest to youngest. They give us a great window in on the events of the Devonian Period, between 360 and 418 million years ago. Traveler RhyoliteMuch of the northern part of Baxter State Park is underlain with rhyolite, a light-colored volcanic rock that is similar in composition to granite, in this case the Katahdin granite, but that is much finer grained. In many outcrops the grains are too fine to see with the naked eye. Most of the peaks (The Traveler, North Traveler, Black Cat Mountain), the cliffs around Upper and Lower South Branch Ponds, and the mountains you passed on the way into the park (Horse Mountain) are underlain with this rock. Most of the unit formed from large eruptions of volcanic ash rather than by flows of molten magma. The Traveler Rhyolite is probably 3,200 meters thick and tilts northward at a moderate angle. Trout Valley FormationThis formation underlies Trout Valley, the most significant valley in the northern part of the Park. It consists of a variety of rock types, including conglomerates at the base (probably of volcanic origin) followed by sandstone and finally fossiliferous shale along Trout Brook itself. The Trout Valley Formation is about 500 meters thick. The following photographs show various features of these units and are keyed to locations on the map.

So we had a TV-free day today. I kept the girls home from school, due to car problems. And it was a wonderful day, guess it wasn't a complete retreat since I have been on the computer and the phone a bit…still.
We danced salsa; doodled; then they spontaneously created "study posters" for their room, vocabulary and spelling, alphabet practice for the little one, some words. They did each other's hair, and mine. They made their own snack. Spontaneously made instruments out of their plastic easter eggs: putting rice in them and duct tape around. Played music. Now they're in their room playing some imaginative game regarding teddy bears and "a restaurant."
It's quietly raining outside, and we haven't been outside all day. And that's o.k. Maybe I'll take them with me to walk the dog before it gets too dark.

Twenty Predictions for the Next 25 Years
The Observer, Sunday 2 January 2011
Customers crowd into a department store in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. China will continue to rise in the coming decades. Photograph: Chinafotopress/Getty Images
1 Geopolitics: 'Rivals will take greater risks against the US'
No balance of power lasts forever. Just a century ago, London was the centre of the world. Britain bestrode the world like a colossus and only those with strong nerves (or weak judgment) dared challenge the Pax Britannica.
That, of course, is all history, but the Pax Americana that has taken shape since 1989 is just as vulnerable to historical change. In the 1910s, the rising power and wealth of Germany and America splintered the Pax Britannica; in the 2010s, east Asia will do the same to the Pax Americana.
The 21st century will see technological change on an astonishing scale. It may even transform what it means to be human. But in the short term – the next 20 years – the world will still be dominated by the doings of nation-states and the central issue will be the rise of the east.
By 2030, the world will be more complicated, divided between a broad American sphere of influence in Europe, the Middle East and south Asia, and a Chinese sphere in east Asia and Africa. Even within its own sphere, the US will face new challenges from former peripheries. The large, educated populations of Poland, Turkey, Brazil and their neighbours will come into their own and Russia will continue its revival.
Nevertheless, America will probably remain the world's major power. The critics who wrote off the US during the depression of the 1930s and the stagflation of the 1970s lived to see it bounce back to defeat the Nazis in the 1940s and the Soviets in the 1980s. America's financial problems will surely deepen through the 2010s, but the 2020s could bring another Roosevelt or Reagan.
A hundred years ago, as Britain's dominance eroded, rivals, particularly Germany, were emboldened to take ever-greater risks. The same will happen as American power erodes in the 2010s-20s. In 1999, for instance, Russia would never have dared attack a neighbour such as Georgia but in 2009 it took just such a chance.
The danger of such an adventure sparking a great power war in the 2010s is probably low; in the 2020s, it will be much greater.
The most serious threats will arise in the vortex of instability that stretches from Africa to central Asia. Most of the world's poorest people live here; climate change is wreaking its worst damage here; nuclear weapons are proliferating fastest here; and even in 2030, the great powers will still seek much of their energy here.
Here, the risk of Sino-American conflict will be greatest and here the balance of power will be decided.
Ian Morris, professor of history at Stanford University and the author of Why the West Rules – For Now (Profile Books)
2 The UK economy: 'The popular revolt against bankers will become impossible to resist'
A view across the City at dusk. Photograph: James Brittain
It will be a second financial crisis in the 2010s – probably sooner than later – that will prove to be the remaking of Britain. Confronted by a second trillion-pound bank bailout in less than 10 years, it will be impossible for the City and wider banking system to resist reform. The popular revolt against bankers, their current business model in which neglect of the real economy is embedded and the scale of their bonuses – all to be underwritten by bailouts from taxpayers – will become irresistible. The consequent rebalancing of the British economy, already underway, will intensify. Britain, in thrall to finance since 1945, will break free – spearheading a second Industrial Revolution.
In 2035, there is thus a good prospect that Britain will be the most populous (our birth rate will be one the highest in Europe), dynamic and richest European country, the key state in a reconfigured EU. Our leading universities will become powerhouses of innovation, world centres in exploiting the approaching avalanche of scientific and technological breakthroughs. A reformed financial system will allow British entrepreneurs to get the committed financial backing they need, becoming the capitalist leaders in Europe. And, after a century of trying, Britain will at last build itself a system for developing apprentices and technicians that is no longer the Cinderella of the education system.
It will not be plain sailing. Massive political turbulence in China and its conflict with the US will define part of the next 25 years – and there will be a period when the world trading and financial system retreats from openness.
How far beggar-my-neighbour competitive devaluations and protection will develop is hard to predict, but protectionist trends are there for all to see. Commodity prices will go much higher and there will be shortages of key minerals, energy, water and some basic foodstuffs.
The paradox is that this will be good news for Britain. It will force the state to re-engage with the economy and to build a matrix of institutions that will support innovation and investment, rather as it did between 1931 and 1950. New Labour began this process tremulously in its last year in office; the coalition government is following through. These will be lean years for the traditional Conservative right, but whether it will be a liberal One Nation Tory party, ongoing coalition governments or the Labour party that will be the political beneficiary is not yet sure.
The key point is that those 20 years in the middle of the 20th century witnessed great industrial creativity and an unsung economic renaissance until the country fell progressively under the stultifying grip of the City of London. My guess is that the same, against a similarly turbulent global background, is about to happen again. My caveat is if the City remains strong, in which case economic decline and social division will escalate.

3 Global development: 'A vaccine will rid the world of Aids'
Within 25 years, the world will achieve many major successes in tackling the diseases of the poor.
Certainly, we will be polio-free and probably will have been for more than a decade. The fight to eradicate polio represents one of the greatest achievements in global health to date. It has mobilised millions of volunteers, staged mass immunisation campaigns and helped to strengthen the health systems of low-income countries. Today, we have eliminated 99% of the polio in the world and eradication is well within reach.
Vaccines that prevent diseases such as measles and rotavirus, currently available in rich countries, will also become affordable and readily available in developing countries. Since it was founded 10 years ago, the Gavi Alliance, a global partnership that funds expanded immunisation in poor countries, has helped prevent more than 5 million deaths. It is easy to imagine that in 25 years this work will have been expanded to save millions more lives by making life-saving vaccines available all over the world.
I also expect to see major strides in new areas. A rapid point-of-care diagnostic test – coupled with a faster-acting treatment regimen – will so fundamentally change the way we treat tuberculosis that we can begin planning an elimination campaign.
We will eradicate malaria, I believe, to the point where there are no human cases reported globally in 2035. We will also have effective means for preventing Aids infection, including a vaccine. With the encouraging results of the RV144 Aids vaccine trial in Thailand, we now know that an Aids vaccine is possible. We must build on these and promising results on other means of preventing HIV infection to help rid the world of the threat of Aids.
Tachi Yamada, president of the global health programme at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
4 Energy: 'Returning to a world that relies on muscle power is not an option'
Providing sufficient food, water and energy to allow everyone to lead decent lives is an enormous challenge. Energy is a means, not an end, but a necessary means. With 6.7 billion people on the planet, more than 50% living in large conurbations, and these numbers expected to rise to more than 9 billion and 80% later in the century, returning to a world that relies on human and animal muscle power is not an option.
The challenge is to provide sufficient energy while reducing reliance on fossil fuels, which today supply 80% of our energy (in decreasing order of importance, the rest comes from burning biomass and waste, hydro, nuclear and, finally, other renewables, which together contribute less than 1%). Reducing use of fossil fuels is necessary both to avoid serious climate change and in anticipation of a time when scarcity makes them prohibitively expensive.
It will be extremely difficult. An International Energy Agency scenario that assumes the implementation of all agreed national policies and announced commitments to save energy and reduce the use of fossil fuels projects a 35% increase in energy consumption in the next 25 years, with fossil fuels up 24%. This is almost entirely due to consumption in developing countries where living standards are, happily, rising and the population is increasing rapidly.
This scenario, which assumes major increases in nuclear, hydro and wind power, evidently does not go far enough and will break down if, as many expect, oil production (which is assumed to increase 15%) peaks in much less than 25 years. We need to go much further in reducing demand, through better design and changes in lifestyles, increasing efficiency and improving and deploying all viable alternative energy sources. It won't be cheap. And in the post-fossil-fuel era it won't be sufficient without major contributions from solar energy (necessitating cost reductions and improved energy storage and transmission) and/or nuclear fission (meaning fast breeder and/or thorium reactors when uranium eventually becomes scarce) and/or fusion (which is enormously attractive in principle but won't become a reliable source of energy until at least the middle of the century).
Disappointingly, with the present rate of investment in developing and deploying new energy sources, the world will still be powered mainly by fossil fuels in 25 years and will not be prepared to do without them.

5 Advertising: 'All sorts of things will just be sold in plain packages'
Advertising in Tokyo. Photograph: Mike Long / Alamy/Alamy
If I'd been writing this five years ago, it would have been all about technology: the internet, the fragmentation of media, mobile phones, social tools allowing consumers to regain power at the expense of corporations, all that sort of stuff. And all these things are important and will change how advertising works.
But it's becoming clear that what'll really change advertising will be how we relate to it and what we're prepared to let it do. After all, when you look at advertising from the past the basic techniques haven't changed; what seems startlingly alien are the attitudes it was acceptable to portray and the products you were allowed to advertise.
In 25 years, I bet there'll be many products we'll be allowed to buy but not see advertised – the things the government will decide we shouldn't be consuming because of their impact on healthcare costs or the environment but that they can't muster the political will to ban outright. So, we'll end up with all sorts of products in plain packaging with the product name in a generic typeface – as the government is currently discussing for cigarettes.
But it won't stop there. We'll also be nudged into renegotiating the relationship between society and advertising, because over the next few years we're going to be interrupted by advertising like never before. Video screens are getting so cheap and disposable that they'll be plastered everywhere we go. And they'll have enough intelligence and connectivity that they'll see our faces, do a quick search on Facebook to find out who we are and direct a message at us based on our purchasing history.
At least, that'll be the idea. It probably won't work very well and when it does work it'll probably drive us mad. Marketing geniuses are working on this stuff right now, but not all of them recognise that being allowed to do this kind of thing depends on societal consent – push the intrusion too far and people will push back.
Society once did a deal accepting advertising because it seemed occasionally useful and interesting and because it paid for lots of journalism and entertainment. It's not necessarily going to pay for those things for much longer so we might start questioning whether we want to live in a Blade Runner world brought to us by Cillit Bang.

6 Neuroscience: 'We'll be able to plug information streams directly into the cortex'
By 2030, we are likely to have developed no-frills brain-machine interfaces, allowing the paralysed to dance in their thought-controlled exoskeleton suits. I sincerely hope we will not still be interfacing with computers via keyboards, one forlorn letter at a time.
I'd like to imagine we'll have robots to do our bidding. But I predicted that 20 years ago, when I was a sanguine boy leaving Star Wars, and the smartest robot we have now is the Roomba vacuum cleaner. So I won't be surprised if I'm wrong in another 25 years. Artificial intelligence has proved itself an unexpectedly difficult problem.
Maybe we will understand what's happening when we immerse our heads into the colourful night blender of dreams. We will have cracked the secret of human memory by realising that it was never about storing things, but about the relationships between things.
Will we have reached the singularity – the point at which computers surpass human intelligence and perhaps give us our comeuppance? We'll probably be able to plug information streams directly into the cortex for those who want it badly enough to risk the surgery. There will be smart drugs to enhance learning and memory and a flourishing black market among ambitious students to obtain them.
Having lain to rest the nature-nurture dichotomy at that point, we will have a molecular understanding of the way in which cultural narratives work their way into brain tissue and of individual susceptibility to those stories.
Then there's the mystery of consciousness. Will we finally have a framework that allows us to translate the mechanical pieces and parts into private, subjective experience? As it stands now, we don't even know what such a framework could look like ("carry the two here and that equals the experience of tasting cinnamon").
That line of research will lead us to confront the question of whether we can reproduce consciousness by replicating the exact structure of the brain – say, with zeros and ones, or beer cans and tennis balls. If this theory of materialism turns out to be correct, then we will be well on our way to downloading our brains into computers, allowing us to live forever in The Matrix.
But if materialism is incorrect, that would be equally interesting: perhaps brains are more like radios that receive an as-yet-undiscovered force. The one thing we can be sure of is this: no matter how wacky the predictions we make today, they will look tame in the strange light of the future.
David Eagleman, neuroscientist and writer
7 Physics: 'Within a decade, we'll know what dark matter is'
The next 25 years will see fundamental advances in our understanding of the underlying structure of matter and of the universe. At the moment, we have successful descriptions of both, but we have open questions. For example, why do particles of matter have mass and what is the dark matter that provides most of the matter in the universe?
I am optimistic that the answer to the mass question will be found within a few years, whether or not it is the mythical Higgs boson, and believe that the answer to the dark matter question will be found within a decade.
Key roles in answering these questions will be made by experiments at Cern's Large Hadron Collider, which started operations in earnest last year and is expected to run for most of the next 20 years; others will be played by astrophysical searches for dark matter and cosmological observations such as those from the European Space Agency's Planck satellite.
Many theoretical proposals for answering these questions invoke new principles in physics, such as the existence of additional dimensions of space or a "supersymmetry" between the constituents of matter and the forces between them, and we will discover whether these ideas are useful for physics. Both these ideas play roles in string theory, the best guess we have for a complete theory of all the fundamental forces including gravity.
Will string theory be pinned down within 20 years? My crystal ball is cloudy on this point, but I am sure that we physicists will have an exciting time trying to find out.
John Ellis, theoretical physicist at Cern and King's College London
8 Food: 'Russia will become a global food superpower'

When experts talk about the coming food security crisis, the date they fixate upon is 2030. By then, our numbers will be nudging 9 billion and we will need to be producing 50% more food than we are now.
By the middle of that decade, therefore, we will either all be starving, and fighting wars over resources, or our global food supply will have changed radically. The bitter reality is that it will probably be a mixture of both.
Developed countries such as the UK are likely, for the most part, to have attempted to pull up the drawbridge, increasing national production and reducing our reliance on imports.
In response to increasing prices, some of us may well have reduced our consumption of meat, the raising of which is a notoriously inefficient use of grain. This will probably create a food underclass, surviving on a carb- and fat-heavy diet, while those with money scarf the protein.
The developing world, meanwhile, will work to bridge the food gap by embracing the promise of biotechnology which the middle classes in the developed world will have assumed that they had the luxury to reject.
In truth, any of the imported grain that we do consume will come from genetically modified crops. As climate change lays waste to the productive fields of southern Europe and north Africa, more water-efficient strains of corn, wheat and barley will be pressed into service; likewise, to the north, Russia will become a global food superpower as the same climate change opens up the once frozen and massive Siberian prairie to food production.
The consensus now is that the planet does have the wherewithal to feed that huge number of people. It's just that some people in the west may find the methods used to do so unappetising.
Jay Rayner, TV presenter and the Observer's food critic
9 Nanotechnology: 'Privacy will be a quaint obsession'
Twenty years ago, Don Eigler, a scientist working for IBM in California, wrote out the logo of his employer in letters made of individual atoms. This feat was a graphic symbol of the potential of the new field of nanotechnology, which promises to rebuild matter atom by atom, molecule by molecule, and to give us unprecedented power over the material world.
Some, like the futurist Ray Kurzweil, predict that nanotechnology will lead to a revolution, allowing us to make any kind of product for virtually nothing; to have computers so powerful that they will surpass human intelligence; and to lead to a new kind of medicine on a sub-cellular level that will allow us to abolish ageing and death.
I don't think that Kurzweil's "technological singularity" – a dream of scientific transcendence that echoes older visions of religious apocalypse – will happen. Some stubborn physics stands between us and "the rapture of the nerds". But nanotechnology will lead to some genuinely transformative applications.
New ways of making solar cells very cheaply on a very large scale offer us the best hope we have for providing low-carbon energy on a big enough scale to satisfy the needs of a growing world population aspiring to the prosperity we're used to in the developed world.
We'll learn more about intervening in our biology at the sub-cellular level and this nano-medicine will give us new hope of overcoming really difficult and intractable diseases, such as Alzheimer's, that will increasingly afflict our population as it ages.
The information technology that drives your mobile phone or laptop is already operating at the nanoscale. Another 25 years of development will lead us to a new world of cheap and ubiquitous computing, in which privacy will be a quaint obsession of our grandparents.
Nanotechnology is a different type of science, respecting none of the conventional boundaries between disciplines and unashamedly focused on applications rather than fundamental understanding.
Given the huge resources being directed towards nanotechnology in China and its neighbours, this may also be the first major technology of the modern era that is predominantly developed outside the US and Europe.
Richard Jones, pro-vice-chancellor for research and innovation at the University of Sheffield
10 Gaming: 'We'll play games to solve problems'
In the last decade, in the US and Europe but particularly in south-east Asia, we have witnessed a flight into virtual worlds, with people playing games such as Second Life. But over the course of the next 25 years, that flight will be successfully reversed, not because we're going to spend less time playing games, but because games and virtual worlds are going to become more closely connected to reality.
There will be games where the action is influenced by what happens in reality; and there will be games that use sensors so that we can play them out in the real world – a game in which your avatar is your dog, which wears a game collar that measures how fast it's running and whether or not it's wagging its tail, for example, where you play with your dog to advance the narrative, as opposed to playing with a virtual character. I can imagine more physical activity games, too, and these might be used to harness energy – peripherals like a dance pad that actually captures energy from your dancing on top of it.
Then there will be problem-solving games: there are already a lot of games in which scientists try to teach gamers real science – how to build proteins to cure cancer, for example. One surprising trend in gaming is that gamers today prefer, on average, three to one to play co-operative games rather than competitive games. Now, this is really interesting; if you think about the history of games, there really weren't co-operative games until this latest generation of video games. In every game you can think of – card games, chess, sport – everybody plays to win. But now we'll see increasing collaboration, people playing games together to solve problems while they're enjoying themselves.
There are also studies on how games work on our minds and our cognitive capabilities, and a lot of science suggests you can use games to treat depression, anxiety and attention-deficit disorder. Making games that are both fun and serve a social purpose isn't easy – a lot of innovation will be required – but gaming will become increasingly integrated into society.
Jane McGonigal, director of games research & development at the Institute for the Future in California and author of Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Happy and How They Can Help Us Change the World (Penguin)
11 Web/internet: 'Quantum computing is the future'
The open web created by idealist geeks, hippies and academics, who believed in the free and generative flow of knowledge, is being overrun by a web that is safer, more controlled and commercial, created by problem-solving pragmatists.
Henry Ford worked out how to make money by making products people wanted to own and buy for themselves. Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs are working out how to make money from allowing people to share, on their terms.
Facebook and Apple are spawning cloud capitalism, in which consumers allow companies to manage information, media, ideas, money, software, tools and preferences on their behalf, holding everything in vast, floating clouds of shared data. We will be invited to trade invasions into our privacy – companies knowing ever more about our lives – for a more personalised service. We will be able to share, but on their terms.
Julian Assange and the movement that has been ignited by WikiLeaks is the most radical version of the alternative: a free, egalitarian, open and public web. The fate of this movement will be a sign of things to come. If it can command broad support, then the open web has a chance to remain a mainstream force. If, however, it becomes little more than a guerrilla campaign, then the open web could be pushed to the margins, along with national public radio.
By 2035, the web, as a single space largely made up of webpages accessed on computers, will be long gone.
As the web goes mobile, those who pay more will get faster access. We will be sharing videos, simulations, experiences and environments, on a multiplicity of devices to which we'll pay as much attention as a light switch.
Yet, many of the big changes of the next 25 years will come from unknowns working in their bedrooms and garages. And by 2035 we will be talking about the coming of quantum computing, which will take us beyond the world of binary, digital computing, on and off, black and white, 0s and 1s.
The small town of Waterloo, Ontario, which is home to the Perimeter Institute, funded by the founder of BlackBerry, currently houses the largest collection of theoretical physicists in the world.
The bedrooms of Waterloo are where the next web may well be made.

Was Naomi Bennett's character played by another woman or am I confused? I thought Audra McDonald played the part. Was there an earlier actress who had the role?

Collymore made it clear during his post-match TalkSport show that he was disgusted with Carroll's laughable attempt to con the referee:
Collymore was equally scathing about James Perch's disgraceful play-acting after the Pepe Reina's attempted headbutt:
Collymore vented his frustration on Twitter, arguing that both Carroll and James Perch should be punished. He tweeted:
"Not many suggesting punishments for diving, so is it now with us for good? I say give Carroll/Perch three game bans. They won't do it again"
I totally agree with this. Currently, there is absolutely no incentive for players not to dive; 99% of the time, they get away with it, and even when the dive is as blatant as Carroll's, managers implicitly condone the behaviour by doing absolutely nothing about it.
Kenny Dalglish is guilty of this; after the Newcastle game, he disputed that Carroll dived, and argued that he'd merely 'stumbled' in the box. That excuse is almost as embarrassing as the dive itself.
Perch's dive was just as bad as Carroll's, and although Reina deserved to be sent off for the intent, he can perhaps feel a little aggrieved at the obvious play-acting that caught the referee's attention.
Liverpool's players were furious with Perch, and after the game, they showed their support for Reina in typical LFC fashion:

Quiet venue in Ironbridge on a random Monday night, but some very well presented and excellently cooked food with exceptionally attentive staff. Good value too.
very good sevice and great food . a bit small but it was all about the food , looked great and tasted even better going back this week.
Pleasant hotel restaurant, freshly cooked food was very tasty. Staff asked once if 'everything alright' then left you alone to enjoy the meal.
Excellent food, very pleasant and helpful staff. Decor a little tired but this did not detract from our experience.
A great place to eat in the Best Western valley hotel, Ironbridge. We liked the choice on the menu and the fact that the food and plate was hot when it arrived.

In terms of the desktop, Linus uses Linux desktop software north of eight hours every day. That he would not be worth listening to in this regards is plainly absurd.

1. Modern Family
With surprisingly nuanced characters for a sitcom, Modern Family claims our top spot for the best comedy show on television. The interweaving storylines are expertly crafted and always revolve around a central theme. This is no small task when you consider there are 10 main characters on the show. Most comedy shows center on 5 main characters at most. Also, many primetime sitcoms are content with relegating bit parts to the children of the cast. Modern Family not only features their younger talent, but they manage to make them shine as well. However, the most important attribute of this show is it's ability to make you laugh. Whether it's Mitchell ribbing Cam under his breath or Phil hatching one of his sadly misguided schemes, Modern Family's comedic timing is spot on. We also like how every episode wraps up with a brief lesson on morality which always fits snugly into each episode's central theme.
2. Parks and Recreation
Another show that demonstrates the value of a sitcom with heart, Parks and Recreation showcases likeable characters and tightly crafted writing. Follwing the trials and tribulations of council woman Leslie Nope, played by Amy Poehler, Parks and Rec is a comedy show that tells good natured stories laced with good natured jokes. We think that Ron Swanson, played pitch perfectly by Nick Offerman, steals any scene in which he is featured. But the show is stacked with talented supporting characters that are played by the likes of Aziz Ansari, Aubrey Plaza, Rob Lowe, and Chris Pratt. All of these actors have enjoyed major boosts in popularity and a multitude of career opportunities due in the large part to the excellence of Parks and Recreation.
3. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
The first show on our list that is featured on a cable network (FX), It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia has been going strong for 7 seasons. Focusing squarely on the five main characters, Always Sunny never stops making fun of itself at the expense of Mac, Charlie, Sweet Dee, Dennis and Frank. Each episode begins with the gang hatching a scheme or running into a problem they have to solve. While the show comes across as less than polished at first glance, it's actually driven by fast paced, witty banter. You'll fall for Always Sunny as after the first 10 minutes.
4. Louie
What more can you say about Louie at this point? Revered by almost every television critic in the industry, Louie C.K. has the changed the way we think about comedy shows. As you probably know, Louie writes, directs and stars in every episode of his tv series. And he's not afraid to get gritty. Often times the show feels more like an independent movie. That's because mixed in between the hilarious situations, there are moments of real drama, suspense, and sometimes even horror (i.e. when Louie and his two young daughters are mugged while trick or treating). The show has a knack for bringing out emotions from it's audience, not just laughter. But if you're a fan of comedy and you haven't seen Louie, throw it on your Netflix queue as soon as you finish reading this article. You won't be disappointed.
5. The Daily Show
Informative and funny at the same time. What more can you ask for? Jon Stewart still manages to make us laugh out loud at least once per episode. We also respect the way he's able to connect with whatever guest appears on a given night. Deftly incorporating insightful questions and well timed jokes, Stewart's showcase continues to be a joy to watch night in and night out.
6. New Girl
A mere toddler compared to the shows listed above, New Girl has quickly worked it's way into the must watch realm of sitcoms. The chemistry between Zoey Deschanel and her 3 fellow leads has evolved swiftly as the episodes pass. The story lines are simple but effective. But what really makes this show work is how easy it is to connect with each character. We were skeptical when the show debuted, but have become true fans over the course of the show's brief tenure.
7. Portlandia
Bursting onto the scene with last year's first season, Portlandia has taken hipster nation by storm. Fred Armisen shines as the main player alongside Carrie Brownstein, and these two have a chemistry that is unmatched in other sketch comedy shows. They bring the show to new heights of weirdness with each passing episode. Portlandia is breath of fresh air.
8. Kroll Show
The opening sequence to Kroll Show is an American consumer's dream. The fast paced roll call of trademarked brand logos is tremendous eye candy. We're not sure how Kroll obtained the rights to show all of those logos but we love it. The show itself is another excellent new sketch comedy half hour. No one parodies reality t.v. like Nick Kroll. Publizicity and Armond On The House are perfect reenactments of the drivel that appears on VH1 on a nightly basis. Our other favorite sketch on the show is Rich Dicks. The coke fueled escapades of two spoiled a**holes is always funny and always entertaining. Kroll Show is a hit.
9. The Office
Yes we still believe in The Office after all these years. While Jim and Pam's relationship ended up derailing the show for a couple of seasons, the final season has regained some of the excitement and wit that filled the series' early years. The Office will most likely be remembered as the defining sitcom of it's era.
10. The League
Is it low brow? Yes. Does it lean on dick jokes too much? Maybe. But The League has earned a spot on this list for being point blank funny. We were skeptical when the show debuted. It appeared to be strewn together in a couple of months off the surge of fantasy football in the mainstream. But after recently wrapping up their 4th season, The League has found solid footing amongst the best comedy shows on tv.

Mirror Image Speeches, Both Bad
5:49 am in Uncategorized by Bill Egnor
I watched both speeches last night on the debt ceiling. I have to say that this whole thing makes me crazed. It is a dumb time to talk about pulling trillions out of the economy, especially when we are talking about a policy that is supposed to be a decade long. All I see from the debt reduction right now is a slow growth of jobs because we never addressed the underlying problem of demand.
Be that as it may, there was plenty to be unhappy about from both the President and Speaker Boehner. President Obama is pitching us on the idea that cutting spending, and cutting it on social safety net programs is somehow going to bring the confidence and jobs fairies out of their coma and everything will be Moring in America again (I am not keen in any fashion on how much this President, this Democratic President grooves on Ronald Regan).
I understand that he is standing on the bridge of the Titanic and watching the Republicans push and iceberg into the path of the national and planetary economy. At this point I am not at all sure that there is much different he could have done, but that does not let him off the hook for granting the legitimacy of the deficit reduction by hostage taking (call it Disaster Legislating) in the first place.
He had the bully pulpit and could have been hammering it for months if he chose to do so. It is entirely possible that things would have been different, but it is water under the bridge now.
Last nights speech was kind of a primer for those (unlike you and me) who have not been paying attention and don't have a the history of debt ceiling fights on the tip of our tongues. Still he was far too easy on the Republicans in terms of who is at fault for our massive debt. Five trillion (that is 5 million, million for those how don't do big numbers well) was added to our debt in the 8 years of the Bush administration. That is more than 1/3 of the total.

I have a combo box Combo4 bound to CommitteeID field in Table tblAssignments.
After a choice is made in that combo box, I would like the date in GradYear field in tblAssignments to be filled in automatically with the current fiscal year which is found in tblAnnualDates. But the date that I need entered is found in the EventDate field for the record with ID of 10 in that table (tblAnnualDates). Does that make any sense?

Ever since getting my sg2, I have always had a problem with the 3g. My phone when it connects proceeds only to upload, showing only the green arrow pointing up. This happens randomly, and it happens across all the different platforms of network connection the sg2 has. The issue is incredibly annoying as my phone can't download data, meaning I cant access the internet. The issue when it happens does seem to correct itself after sometime and with me fiddling around with it, but I am yet to find a permanent solution to fix the problem. My friend recommended I turn of data and turn it back on, which does help but is very hit and miss, and the issue can still very much be present when I turn data back on. The only solution which seems to work 100% of the time is turning the phone off and on again, however this is pointlessly annoying and quite a nuisance. What I'm asking is does anyone have a fix to this issue, because I'm dieing to get it fixed.
Thanks in advance.


text: Not much to chat it up on the web but I browse now and then through nursing info to keep up. Just one thing I found out personally this week...."Nurses don't eat their young, they eat their old!". The older nurse is becoming disposable for the cheaper, young nurses. Those who have broke their backs for the sake of patient care among poor working conditions in some instances, are getting pushed out for the healthy young ones. I started a new job this week and I was thrown to the wolves, the young wolves. I wasn't part of their click and they weren't part of my hiring, therefore they did everything to get me out so they can put in another more fitting to their click. I would never have done anything like that. I love helping any other nurse out when in need. ANY.

Oportunidad de voluntariado
Oportunidad de voluntariado publicado por: Peace Brigades International - Canada
Publicado el: 07/01/2013
Want to volunteer for Peace Brigades International in Guatemala?
The Guatemala Project usually holds two training sessions each year (one every six months). The next session (the first in 2013), will be held from April 21 to 27 of 2013 in Europe. Reminding that the deadline to send the applications and reference forms for this 2013 first selection/training process of PBI Guatemala is January 20th, 2013 (all people that are interested must send their application form and two references by this date).
Selection criteria for PBI Guatemala volunteers
A good level of Spanish – spoken, written and read.
Previous experience of working with human rights or development NGOs, social, grass roots, or community organisations.
Ability to commit to a minimum of 12 months work in the field.
Ability to work within the principles of non-partisanship, non-violence, and non-interference.
Ability to work in a horizontal structure based on consensus making decisions.
A clear motivation to work in the PBI field in Guatemala.
Experience of teamwork and group living, especially in high-stress situations.
Basic computer skills – word-processing, email, databases etc.
Availability to participate in the project's training and selection process.
Availability of two referees able to give account of your professional and personal capacities (who know you in the context of your paid or voluntary work with interest/solidarity groups, NGOs or academic study, for example).
Knowledge of Guatemala's history and current situation.
Experience of work involving liaison with authorities, campaigning, communication, negotiation, advocacy, etc.
Capacity for political analysis.
Knowledge of human rights.
Experience of work in the field of research and information management.
Experience of working using a consensus decision-making process.
Experience of working with PBI, such as with the PBI Country Group of your country of residence.
Minimum age of 25 years (see note below about policy relating to anti age discrimination).
Due to the characteristics of the PBI field experience, it is fundamental that candidates are people who have the capacity to interact in a positive way with others; who are able to communicate assertively; who are able to adapt to diverse contexts (as dictated by the country's political and social situation as well as by the mandate and principles of PBI in Guatemala); who have strategies for managing stress; who possess a high degree of self-awareness, flexibility and openness; and who have a high capacity for work.
What we offer if you join the PBI Guatemala team:
Specialised training, based on more than 25 years of experience developing international accompaniment methodology.
An experience of living and working in a close-knit team of international volunteers.
Experience of volunteering in an internationally recognised human rights organisation.
The following expenses are covered: return flights, room, board and medical insurance. Volunteers also receive economic support of $175 monthly for personal expenses, and a repatriation grant when they have completed their service.
Process for becoming a field volunteer:
Read carefully the documents available on this website (volunteer letter, selection process, application form, reference forms).
Contact the Guatemala Project Training and Selection Team (formación[at]pbi-guatemala.org) to inform them of your interest in applying.
Contact PBI-Canada (volunteer[at]pbicanada.org) to learn more about the work of PBI.
Return your application form to the Training and Selection Team before January 20th, 2013.
Ask your two referees to send the completed reference forms to the Training and Selection Team before the application deadline.
Once your application and references have been received, you are considered a candidate and will follow the different steps of the selection process as outlined in the documents mentioned above.
Participate in an interview with a member of the Training and Selection Team.
If you are selected to participate in the project training, you will first complete a distance learning self-study course, reading and completing the activities sent to you, on which feedback will be given.
Take part in a residential selection and training week. The final decision about the volunteer selection will be taken after the training week and will be communicated individually in a conference call.
Incorporation into the team is not always immediate after the selection and training week, and selected volunteers are asked to keep themselves up-to-date with the situation in Guatemala during the period before their arrival.
On arrival in the field as a new volunteer, you will participate in a 2 week period of orientation. In this way the training and selection process continues in Guatemala, with an evaluation period after the first two months in the team.
At any point in the process, PBI may decide that the candidate is not suitable for work in a team of international observers in Guatemala.
PBI policy relating to anti age discrimination for field volunteers:
Age is not a barrier to working in PBI projects. However, the request for mature and experienced volunteers is critical because the organisation needs to present an experienced image in interactions with a wide range of authorities in the countries where we maintain field projects. Volunteers also needed to be able to responsibly assess issues relating to risk and security in areas of crisis or conflict. For these reasons, PBI volunteers are often over the age of 25.

Sighting false-positive test results, overdiagnosis and overtreatment, the United States Preventive Services Task Force today issued a final recommendation on prostate specific antigen testing for prostate cancer, giving it a "D" rating. The rating means the Task Force determined the current medical evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of the test or that the evidence is lacking, of poor quality, or conflicting, and the balance of benefits and harms cannot be assessed.
Not everyone agrees. In a news release, the American Urological Association said there is strong evidence that PSA testing saves lives and that the randomized trials used by the Task Force to study PSA testing do show benefit to patients.
Mayo Clinic urologist, Jeffrey Karnes, M.D. sides with the AUA. "I don't think[the Task Force decision] will change my viewpoint," Dr. Karnes says. "Prostate cancer is still a leading cause of mortality around the world, so the decision has and should increase interest and attention on research." Dr. Karnes says one of the two randomized trials the task force used to reach its final recommendation did not account for the fact that many men in the trial had already undergone PSA testing, so it is flawed. He also points out that the task force decision failed to consider patient and physician viewpoints.
For more information on this issue, see an editorial written by Dr. Karnes in the March 2012 issue of the Journal of Men's Health.
Additional patient information on PSA testing from Mayo Clinic is also available online.

Loophole Opens Nuclear Window for Kentucky
A new state law will make it legal to re-enrich depleted uranium tails in Kentucky. But the legislation doesn't go very far to help the facility that's been waiting for federal approval to do just that. Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant spokesperson Georgann Lookofsky says without federal permission to re-enrich the spent tails, as well as a better utility contract, the plant could shut down by the end of next month. But Lookofsky says the legislation wasn't passed with the current incarnation of the Paducah plant in mind.
"Rather, the change is expected to promote future job opportunities here in Paducah that really build on the community's expertise and experience working in the nuclear field."
That possibility worries Art Williams of the Kentucky Conservation Committee. There's still a ban on nuclear powered-energy in Kentucky, but the bill opens the door to using nuclear energy to turn coal into natural gas. He says that's a dangerous loophole, and nuclear energy could pose safety and cost issues for the Commonwealth.

Papi, the Python Accessibility Programming Interface, is an easy to use object-oriented wrapper library around the accessibility service provider libraries ATK and MSAA. It allows you to add assistive features to any type of Python application, be it UI or CLI driven.
Papi is currently in a beta status of development, featuring a core set of functionality of ATK and MSAA. The development is currently stalled, due to a lack of time caused by the focus on other projects, but the project itself is not dead.
It is mostly non-invasive, with just a small part of critical code to be executed in the main loop of the application, making it easy to plug into existing or new applications. Due to the layout of the available acessibility libraries, the application design and prototype phase do not need to take Papi into account as existing objects can be easily extended in a later stage (you still should respect general design rules for accessibility and keep your users in mind).
