Islet Transplantation May Slow Progression of Atherosclerosis in Diabetes Patients
Researchers find significant decrease in carotid intima–media thickness (Jan. 28)
Minimally invasive islet transplantation for patients with type 1 diabetes achieves insulin independence and reverses the progression of atherosclerosis in the first few years after transplant, according to a study conducted at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
The new research was published in the February issue of Diabetes Care.
Patients with diabetes, particularly women, have a substantial increased risk of dying from ischemic heart disease, according to previous research. However, future cardiac events may be prevented with intensive glycemic control.
In the new longitudinal study, researchers looked at changes over time in carotid intima–media thickness (CIMT) — a marker for atherosclerosis — in a group of type 1 diabetes patients without kidney disease or previous cardiovascular events.
"This is the first study to look at what happens to diabetes-related cardiovascular complications after islet cell transplantation alone without kidney transplant," said lead author Dr. Kirstie Danielson, who noted that previous research has focused on metabolic changes and glycemic control after transplant.
Fifteen adults (two men and 13 women) had type 1 diabetes for more than 5 years and had hypoglycemic unawareness despite efforts to manage insulin levels. The patients received a total of 27 islet transplantations (one to three transplants each) and were followed from 1 to 5 years after their first transplant. CIMT was measured before and approximately every 12 months after the first islet transplantation.
The researchers found a significant decrease in CIMT at 1 year after islet transplantations. The CIMT measures started to progress again — slightly more than they would in healthy individuals without diabetes — at between 12 and 50 months. At 50 months post-transplant, the CIMT measures were still lower than pre-transplant levels, Danielson said.
All 15 patients achieved insulin independence after receiving one to three islet transplantations. At the end of the new study, 11 patients were insulin-free; three remained on insulin but at greatly reduced doses; and one patient withdrew from the trial because of islet graft loss.
The next step will be to replicate the results in a larger trial, Danielson said.

Photo: Marc Royce Q: I'm in a same-sex relationship, and my girlfriend and I are trying to set up our legal situation to approximate marriage as closely as possible. We both own property; I'm going to sell my co-op and move into her townhouse. My attorney has advised me not to pay into a house in which I don't have any equity, and her attorney told her not to sell any of her equity. I can see why this is practical counsel, but I want us to be partners in every way. We've discussed selling both places and buying something together, but we would end up with much less for our money. Please help; we feel so torn.
Suze: Unfortunately, the fact that most states prohibit same-sex couples from marrying shuts you and your partner out from valuable financial breaks, such as a generous federal estate tax exemption as well as Social Security survivor benefits. But at least we can address your housing situation in a way that respects and protects you both—and this strategy applies to any couple, straight or gay, who wants to own a house together without saying "I do." Since you plan to move into your girlfriend's townhouse, she should sell you—not give you—a half share of the property. I'm not sure why her attorney would advise against that plan, because there is an easy way to protect her if things don't work out. Simply have the lawyer draft an agreement that lets her buy out your share if you break up. In effect, she gets paid fair market value for making you a co-owner but retains the right to keep the home down the line. That seems fair to me. The key here is correctly setting up the title to the house, which determines what happens when one of you dies. If you own it as joint tenants with right of survivorship, the remaining partner takes over the deceased's share. This is what my personal estate lawyer refers to as "survivor takes all." Should that make either of you uneasy at this point, there's another legal answer that lets you each designate your own heirs without forcing the surviving partner out. You can set up your own living revocable trusts in which you specify who gets your piece of the home. If you want to leave your portion to someone other than your partner, I also recommend having the lawyer draft a life estate on the house. With this document, the surviving co-owner is allowed to stay until she moves or dies. Once that happens, the inheritance plans laid out in your trusts kick in. After becoming co-owners, you can divide up the mortgage payments, property taxes, homeowner's insurance, and other expenses. A final layer of protection would be to purchase term life insurance policies that would give one of you enough money to handle all the housing costs should the other die before the mortgage is paid off.

Orders & deliveries
The month in review: February 2014
Airbus continued its strong start in 2014, with 108 orders booked during February for the A320 Family, A380 and A350 XWB; taking the total number of customers for the A320neo to 50. In addition there were orders for the A380 and A350 XWB, while the month's 44 deliveries involved the A320 Family, A330 and A380 jetliners.
The new business was led by Amedeo's firming up of a contract for 20 A380s, which originally was announced at last year's Paris Air Show when the leasing company was known as Doric Lease Corp. This order further underscores the A380's long-term market appeal and provides a flexible way for operators to access the 21st century Airbus flagship jetliner through tailored leasing solutions.
Also firming up a commitment in February was Kuwait Airways, ordering 10 A350-900s and 15 A320neo aircraft as part of the airline's fleet renewal strategy. The national carrier of Kuwait already operates A320s, A340s the A300/A310.
Completing the month's transactions was VietJetAir's finalisation of an order for 63 A320 Family jetliners, composed of 14 A320ceo and seven A321ceo aircraft in the current engine option, along with 42 A320neo jetliners. They will support the dynamic carrier in expanding its network, increasing the frequency of national and international flights, and contributing to promoting tourism and investment among the countries of Asia-Pacific.
Taking cancellations into account, Airbus' net orders logged so far in 2014 totalled 80 as of 28 February.
During the month, Airbus delivered 37 A320 Family aircraft – including to Russian national carrier Aeroflot, which received a leased A320 that is its first equipped with Sharklets for even better fuel savings and enhanced performance.
Also delivered during the month were six A330s to Air China, Hawaiian Airlines, China Southern, CIT for Cebu, and Intrepid for Skymark Airlines – the first Japanese carrier to operate the aircraft type.
Completing the deliveries in February was another A380 for Emirates, continuing this airline's role as the fleet leader for the double-deck jetliner.
With the month's orders and deliveries tallies, the Airbus backlog stood at 5,556 aircraft as of end-February.

Welcome, guest
By Anastasia Donde, Katrina Dean Allen
Tue Nov 23, 2010
The firms raided yesterday by the FBI manage money for some of the country's largest pension plans, in the popular direct investing gambit. So far, none of the funds has been put on watch.
Diamondback Capital Management and Level Global Investors, two of the SAC Capital Advisors-related hedge funds raided yesterday by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, are among the funds heavily favored by public pension plans—including large pensions for New York State retirees and Texas teachers—that have chosen to invest directly into hedge funds. Diamondback, Level Global and Loch Capital Management were each raided yesterday by the FBI as part of a large government probe of insider trading activities. The FBI said in a statement that it had obtained court-authorized federal search warrants as part of a continuing criminal investigation. Today, SAC reportedly received a government request for documents. Several of these pension funds were steered to Diamondback by consultants , specifically Aksia, a firm in New York that advises pension funds on their hedge fund investments, and Cliffwater, another hedge fund consulting firm based in Marina-del-Rey, Calif."We continue to monitor the situation...

Strong horror violence
Director: | Matthis Van Heijningen Jr |
Actors: | Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Eric Christian Olsen, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ulrich Thomsen, Kim Bubbs, Jorgen Langhelle |
Antarctica: an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty. It is also home to an isolated outpost where a discovery full of scientific possibility becomes a mission of survival when an alien is unearthed by a crew of international scientists. The shape-shifting creature, accidentally unleashed at this marooned colony, has the ability to turn itself into a perfect replica of any living being. It can look just like you or me, but inside, it remains inhuman. In the thriller The Thing, paranoia spreads like an epidemic among a group of researchers as they're infected, one by one, by a mystery from another planet. The Thing serves as a prelude to John Carpenter's classic 1982 film of the same name. Directed by Matthijs van Heijningen, the thriller is produced by Strike Entertainment's Marc Abraham and Eric Newman (Dawn of the Dead).

MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF VISITORS OF VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY March 20, 1975 A regular meeting of the Board of Visitors of Virginia Commonwealth Uni- versity was held on Thursday, March 20, 1975, at 9:00 a.m. in the Sanger Hall Board Room. Present were Messrs. Dabney, Grey, Morgan, Norris, Scott, Shumate, and Taylor; Dr. Gwathmey; and Mesdames Satterfield, Stone and Thalhimer. Absent were Messrs. McGehee, Obenshain and Seaborn and Dr. Blanton. Also present were Drs. Brooke, Hall, Neal, Willett, Wilson and Woods; Messrs. Holmes, Imirie and Temple; and Mrs. Price. Mr. Scott called the meeting to order. He stated to the Board that the minutes of the previous meeting of the Board and of the Executive Committee were not ready for Board approval. Dr. Gwathmey reported on the Hospital Quality Assurance meeting held earlier. He indicated that the committee had signed off on the hospital quality assurance plan and that it would be coming to the Board at its April meeting. The report of the University Interim Administrative Committee followed. Item IV, Report by the Chairman of the Presidential Search Assistance Committee, was postponed until the end of the meeting. The Board reviewed the HMO Status Report. Dr. Neal indicated that we were still awaiting word from the Attorney General's Office on the resolution passed by the Board at the last meeting. Mr. Bill Crews will probably attend the April meeting of the Board to discuss this in detail. Page 2 Following a discussion, on motion made and seconded, the request to change the name of the Department of Biometry to the Department of Biosta- tistics was unanimously approved. Mr. Scott reported that Item VII, Degree Proposal: Masters of Science in Administration of Justice, would be postponed until the April meeting since the Council on Academic Affairs had not yet taken action on the proposal. On motion made and seconded, the Report of Gifts, Grants and Contracts was unanimously approved. The Board reviewed the Financial Statements and indicated that the sup- plement following the statements was most helpful. On motion made and seconded, the Faculty Appointments and Changes in Status were unanimously approved. Dr. Brooke commented that the University is most fortunate to be able to attract a person like Dr. David Manning White and that he was most pleased that Dr. White had decided to join our faculty on a full-time basis. Dr. Willett stated that we had another nationally-known per- son on the faculty--Dr. Collin Turnbull. Following a discussion, Mr. Scott asked that perhaps Dr. Turnbull could be asked to attend a future Board meeting to make a presentation. Mr. Imirie presented a report dealing with a model hospital accounting system. Mr. Scott reported that due to scheduling problems the Cancer Center tour could not be held following the Board meeting. By a show of hands, the Cancer Center tour was scheduled following the April Board meeting (2 p.m.). The Board went into Executive Session. The meeting adjourned at 11:15 a.m. Approved REPORT OF THE UNIVERSITY INTERIM ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE March 20, 1975 Mr. Temple's Remarks Mr. Temple reported that the Careers Conference had been a success. He read statements from several letters received from counselors endorsing the success of the program. Mr. Temple stated that the printed materials pertaining to the private fund drive for the Cancer Center would be ready around mid-April and that the drive would probably get underway by mid-May. An evaluation team will begin reviewing names of prospective donars shortly. Mr. Temple continued that he had sent a letter to members of our congressional delegation indicating the purpose of the fund drive and other facts regarding the Center. He indicated that he hoped that Governor Godwin would be available to speak at the kickoff luncheon or dinner, but a date had not been confirmed with the Governor's office. Mr. Temple indicated that he had no spectacular news to report regarding the Annual Fund drive, but that it was making gains over last year. Overall, the Development and University Relations staff is quite pleased with the progress of the Annual Fund Mr. Temple reported that on April 6, 1975, the annual Honors and Awards Convocation would be held at Dogwood Dell and that Judge James E. Sheffield and Dr. Warren W. Brandt would both be honored for their service to Virginia Commonwealth University. Mr. Temple stated, that in compliance with the resolution passed by the Virginia General Assembly regarding a parking study on the Academic Campus, the State Highway Department had been contacted and asked to do this study for VCU. Mr. Temple reported on the procedures being used in connection with the budget. He indicated that each dean and department head would appear before the Interim Committee, the Academic Vice Presidents, Mr. Holmes and Mr. Rennie to make a "pitch" for their particular school or department. The Interim Committee hopes that this will increase morale among these administrators. Mr. Temple called on Mr. Holmes to give details concerning the budgeting procedures. Dr. Brooke's Remarks Dr. Brooke reported that Dr. Arnold P. Fleshood, Assistant Vice-President for Aca- demic Affairs, suffered a cardiac arrest on March 14, but that he has now been moved from the coronary intensive care unit and appears to be making fine pro- gress. Dr. Brooke also offered general comments concerning the funding of the proposed Student Center, indicating that a thorough-going discussion with the appropriate committee (s) of the Board would be scheduled prior to the April meet- ing of the Board of Visitors. Page 2 Dr. Neal's Remarks Dr. Neal reported that, again on March 10th, the Virginia Supreme Court failed to hand down a decision regarding the "friendly" writ of mandamus. Realizing this was now a very unusual situation, Mr. Temple and Dr. Neal met with Attorney General Andrew Miller on Wednesday, March 12th to discuss VCU's concerns and apprehensions. Dr. Neal continued that Mr. Miller confirmed that the situation was very unusual. However, the Attorney General's office does not wish to ask the Chief Justice what the opinion will be but when the decision might be expected. A letter from Mr. Temple has been sent to Mr. Miller indicat- ing what this delay is costing the University (approximately 1 percent per month). Armed with this, the attorneys for both parties will appear before the Chief Justice to ask when a decision might be forthcoming. Dr. Neal reported that the investment board of a major insurance carrier is reviewing a recommendation from their staff to provide continued funding for the Virginia Hospi- tal Laundry. Their decision is expected at any time. Dr. Neal stated that the Board will be receiving at its April meeting a University- wide recommendation regarding tuition. However, we have been asked by the School of Medicine at the University of Virginia what we expect our tuition to be next year for out-of-state medical students. The Board of Visitors at UVA is inter- ested in this information. It appears that the UVA Board felt that the out-of-state medical school tuition was too low and pushed for a $3,000 figure for the 1976-77 academic year. Apparently, by agreement, the $3,000 figure will be reached next year at UVA. Their request to us was would we be near that level next year and did our Board know about it. Dr. Neal continued that if the trends continue, we will be near that figure next year for the entering student. For the benefit of the School of Medicine at UVA, this Board of Visitors has been advised of that possibility re- garding tuition. Dr. Neal reported that the resolution passed by the Board at its February meeting re- garding the HMO has been given to the HMO Executive Committee of VCU and to Mr. Bill Crews in the Attorney General's office. Mr. Crews has been provided all the data and the copies of the grants. He will be responding to this Board in writing and, if desired, can attend the April meeting to respond to any question. The MCV/ VCU HMO Executive Committee was informed at its meeting on yesterday (3/19/75) that the Richmond Memorial Hospital has provided six nominees and they have been approved and accepted by the Capital Area Group Health Association. CAGHA now has thirteen members--six from Richmond Memorial Hospital, one trade union repre- sentative plus the six original. As offered earlier, five of the six original will resign leaving eight potential spots for VCU, if desired. The HMO grant recipients have been working with VCU's University Relations Office on a brochure of explanation of an HMO and why VCU is in the planning situation. Dr. Jessee will report to the Richmond Academy of Medicine after the April meeting of their Board of Trustees re- garding the status of the HMO. Page 3 Dr. Neal stated that the financial management study is underway and on schedule. Mr. Jim Reynolds will report to the Board on April 17th the results of the Phase II study. Dr. Neal indicated that a letter from Dr. Francis McMullan had been received by several members of the administration. In this letter, Dr. McMullan expressed his gratitude for the University's commitment to maintain the identification of the MCV Campus of VCU as had been agreed upon in joint meetings of the MCV Alumni Association and University and Board representatives some fifteen months ago. Dr. McMullan continued in his letter that he felt the spirit of the concern of the MCV Alumni had been met and the identification of the Medical College of Virginia's name was in proper perspective at this time.

Digital Wunderkammer
Created by students in AR-215: Digital Imaging Wunderkammer, otherwise known as cabinets of curiosities, were eclectic and elaborately displayed collections where the collector creatively assigned the categories. The first wunderkammer, collections of art, natural specimens, artifacts, and oddities appeared in the 1600's and 1700's and are considered predecessors to modern day natural history museums and art museums. In some ways, certain websites, and even the Internet as a whole, may be thought of as one, nearly infinite digital wunderkammer. For this project, students created their own small version of a digital wunderkammer.
Several of our art history courses involve primary research on local architecture and social history. Some require students to report their work via original websites, a sampling of which are below.

2 Teleatlas Maps not a match for Navteq MapsTyzaMoy | 05/05/2007 | See all TyzaMoy's reviews (2)I recently "upgraded" from a Garmin i3 (running Navteq Maps) to a Tomtom Go 710. This was a carefully chosen product based on the fact that I would be driving in Norway. I selected tbe Tomtom Go 710 as they claimed to have the most complete maps of Europe installed including 99% coverage of Norway. Many of the locations I am visiting are not mapped on the Teleatlas product! However, it turns out that the corresponding Navteq maps DO have these locations! In the UK I have only been using the Tomtom for about 600 miles and in that time I have found more map inaccuracies (or Normalisation issues as Tomtom call them) than I had found in 2 years and 15,000 miles of use of the i3 (including numorous occasions where Tomtom tries to navigate me the wrong way up a one way street!) The optional TMC unit is also very sporadic in its functionality. Given the purchasing choice again I would chose a Garmin Nuvi 660 (slightly more expensive but you get what you pay for!) On the plus sides the numerous customisable features are nice. I think all in all if Tomtom stuck to Navteq maps they would be able to offer a much more complete product for slightly more money. I was also annoyed to buy the Go 710 with the "Latest Maps" only to find out that the month later the next version was out. Tomtom want about £100 to upgrade with a still wildly inaccurate map. I would pay somewhere in this region for a Navteq map, but would not put my hand in my pocket for another Teleatlas product as they are not accurate enough to warrant my hard earned money.
5 Superb!muzza1 | 23/06/2007 | See all muzza1's reviews (8)My first gps was a Tomtom one which did exactly what it said on the tin, however when the time came to upgrade I foolishly decided upon a Navman N40i which was a huge disappointment ( first one was clearly pre-owned and in poor condition, second would not update and help line proved less than useless). So I went straight back to Tomtom, this time with a GO710 which is fantastic. The touch screen is responsive, the docking mechanism is very positive and the huge amount of features are awesome. I had the unit updated and conected to my mobile in no time, overall a very user friendly sat-nav.My only complaint about the system is the outdated maps, the points of interest are woefully inadequate for example according to my Tomtom there is one car park in the whole of Cornwall when there are actually nine in Newquay alone. Despite this I am still giving the 710 top marks because the other gps systems maps seem to be just as outdated.
4 excellent unit see stuff.com review (magazine)aalondon | 26/03/2008 | See all aalondon's reviews (4)Take a look on any website you choose, TOMTOM is always the number one seller not Garmin, not Michellan, nor any other of the numerous contenders. The money you put into this for bluetooth phone connection or ipod control is rewarded a hundred times over. The One XL is a great entry level unit, however you can pair(add) several bluetooth phones on the unit, and switch between them at a touch of the button, even download phone books from each mobile and store seperatly...this unit far exceeded my expectations, brilliant.

Iowa tailback Jeff Brinson has decided to transfer from the team. We don't like seeing anybody go, but this is probably in his best interests.
The Iowa Hawkeyes class of 2002 took a massive hit when Ladell Betts and Aaron Kampman each suffered season-ending knee injuries.
Iowa's leading rusher, Adam Robinson, is done for the regular season after suffering a sprained ankle. The Hawkeyes are now perilously thin at running back as they try to remain unbeaten.
Bryan Bulaga has been cleared to play after a thyroid illness kept him off the field for three weeks. God help you all, Big Ten defensive ends.
Bryan Bulaga is out against Iowa State, according to Kirk Ferentz. This, of course, is horrible news for Iowa.
When it comes to press conferences and injury updates, Jim Tressel is bound neither by honor nor law to be truthful. So when he tells the world Beanie Wells is doubtful, it should be viewed with...
Kudos to Randy Peterson at the Rag for again breaking injury news on the Hawkeyes; he reports that Tony Moeaki and Trey Stross are missing the home opener against the Maine Streets. Nothing's been...
Shit. Word on the street is it's Moeaki's foot and Stross's hamstring. Neither's supposed to be severe, but goddammit, you know?

Solid pack
January 09, 2011
The Exos34 is a great day or overnight pack. It's light and very comfortable, with good ventilation/air flow. The straps are a bit thin, but I suppose that's part of the reason it is light. Overall a nice backpack.
Pros: Great design, PerformanceAwesome super lightweight backpack
September 30, 2012
I use this pack for lightweight weekends in the Cascades. It has held up to many trips. It has just the right amount of features without a weight penalty. You will not find a better pack at around 2 pounds. The air suspension lets your back breathe. The large mesh area allows plenty of air to pass through. The other neat thing about the air suspension is that you can actually put a hydration bladder in there should the pack be filled with other stuff. Another great feature is the clips that allow you to stow your hiking poles without having to remove your pack. Overall, 5 out of 5 stars. Buy it!
Pros: Great design, Performance, Ease of use, Great valueVery good
February 04, 2011
Superlight ventilated mochila. , enough room and pockets, very comfortable, shield against light rain; well balanced. This product is built for comfort, also is very specialized mochila for a long day trip adventure or a weekend.
Pros: Performance, Ease of use, Great valueAmazing technology
August 17, 2009
In my opinion, Osprey is the best maker of backpacks. They are very well designed and you will feel this immediately after loading your backpack and putting it on. The Exos 34 is ideal for day trips with small to medium loads. The straps, buckles, and zippers are very convenient. I did not test it in the rain; however, from my previous experience I know that you always need to carry even the simplest rain poncho to protect your backpack and its contents. Please note that they are 3 sizes of each Exos backpack: Small, Medium, and Large. You need to consult the measuring chart before placing an order.
Wow! Lightweight and ready for fastpacking
May 06, 2009
I have to admit, I drooled when I received this pack. It is loaded with features and fits perfectly. This one is the best for lightweight fast travel. The outside pockets make getting at small items very do-able, as do the hipbelt pockets. I recommend this for lightweight overnights and weekends, as well as to trail runners.
Great for Light Stuff
December 03, 2010
Pack is great. Used it for hut trip in Patagonia, would have been perfect except that my camera gear pushed the weight limit a little over the limit. This is a very well thought out design, especially the hip pockets and gear attachments. Just keep in mind that this is a pack for light journeys, the harness/supports are just not meant for heavy gear.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, PerformanceOsprey Packs Exos 34 Backpack Photo
Ember Orange and Jungle Green.
Available sizes, while supplies last, include size small, size medium and size large: s, m, l.

Can writing really be compared to painting? You'd be surprised.
Novelist Elizabeth Wrenn, author of Around the Next Corner, will illustrate how writers make a myriad of choices on every page, and why. From the detail work of a stippling brush (word choice), to the broader strokes of large brushes (plot, character, dialogue, setting), to the frame surrounding it all (beginning, middle, end), writers must use all the tools in their kit.
This hands-on workshop, presented by 40 West Arts and the Lakewood Library, will share practical tips and techniques for more effective writing.
1 p.m. Sunday, June 940 West Arts1560 Teller St.

I seen this on TV, it was an SBS show called Food Safari which is hosted by Maeve O'Meara. The recipe was made by Nighat Hassan a Pakistani chef and she used an outdoors Pakistani oven but I made it on a regular oven. Nighat made it look so simple and it is, I marinated mine for two days and the flavours really enhanced, we served it with steam rice, a large dollop of yoghurt with a sprinkle of cumin powder, tomatoes and lettuce salad with a mint leaf to garnish, but the chef suggested a Pakistani Mint Sauce. We found eating the chicken with the yoghurt enhanced the flavours more. Please note: Marinating time is not included. Enjoy

Very good hotel. I recommend.
""Reviewed by David A of "Midland, Texas" on Jun 29, 2011
Hotel is right on the ocean, but not near anything. It is away from restaurants, shopping, and other attractions. One really needs to have a rental car when staying at this hotel. Staff was friendly and some spoke English. On check out, hotel tried to get me to pay even though I had a prepaid reservation. This held up getting to the airport for an early morning flight. When this happened, they would only speak Portuguese to me, but fully understood the English I was speaking. Hotel is under major renovation and parts look like a war zone. To get to the hotel restaurant, one has to walk outside - which is okay unless it is raining. Beach is very narrow at this hotel.

Gartner: Lotus Symphony No Competition for Microsoft Office
IBM's Lotus Symphony will be unable to break the dominance of Microsoft's Office package according to market researchers Gartner. Open Office still has too many deficits for enterprise use, they say, and the future belongs to Web-based office and collaboration solutions.
In its analysis, Gartner assumes that IBM is aiming to shake up Microsoft's market dominance in office applications with Lotus Symphony. Microsoft Office is widespread and corporations need full compatibility, which Open Office does not guarantee, according to the market researchers. In the long term the institute believes that Web 2.0 applications will prove the more serious competitor to Microsoft, stating that it would take too long for the Open Office project to benefit significantly from IBM's contribution.
Due to its 10-year support guarantee for office products, Microsoft has bred a moment of inertia into its products that prevents the use of Open Document solutions in corporations. Various functions that are only available in MS Office and the lack of compatibility between document formats are the other factors that make MS Office so reticent. Lotus Symphony relies on the Open Office word processing, spreadsheet and presentations software modules, as Linux Magazine reported. IBM thus supports the free ODF with its free Lotus Symphony Office Suite.
Interest in the Open Document Standard is likely to increase, and Gartner's IT strategists cite the OOXML flop as the major reason for this. Barrier-free use as advertised by IBM may cause authorities to move to Open Office in future, as this deficit was a major obstacle in the past. And IBM's press release points to the excellent response the Symphony Suite has received in the first few weeks.
In the meantime, IBM's competitor has not been idle, and collaborative editing capabilities make Web applications a third alternative. This is the bigger threat to Microsoft, says the Gartner analysis, as Lotus Symphony does not offer enough in the line of benefits compared with Open Office.

I like your idea. But sometimes companies get so big they stick around a long time like Microsoft or Yahoo. Bing and Yahoo don't have a big enough piece of the search pie to threaten Google, and aren't making any moves.
I'd like to see Facebook fail before Google. Google is nimble enough to adapt, unlike MSN/Yahoo, despite its size. Google is pretty quick to shut down things that don't work, and move on to something else.
I think the future of SEO for Google should focus on Social. It's the new Accountability System.

You can't stop Mother Nature, but you can build smarter homes that are more adept at taking a lashing. That's the idea behind the 3C competition which is on exhibit through Saturday in Manhattan.
The group behind 3C is Operation Resilient Long Island (ORLI), a grassroots organization founded by students at the New York Institute of Technology's School of Architecture and Design after Superstorm Sandy struck the area in late October 2012.
ORLI co-chair Dan Horn was in his home in Lindenhurst on the south shore of Long Island when Sandy hit. His neighborhood and home were badly damaged. As a fourth-year architecture student at the time, the storm forced he and his classmates to take a closer look at building for the next coastal storm.
"The whole thing had me thinking 'What can we do as architecture students to respond to the storm?'" Horn said in an interview with weather.com.
ORLI worked with local officials to tour areas damaged by the storm, and then put together a pamphlet for homeowners to explain how rebuilding for future storms may save their houses. They also came up with the idea for a competition that would challenge designers to re-imagine homes and neighborhoods in the New York tri-state area.
The competition attracted more than 60 entries from designers around the world, which went before a panel of judges.
Horn says the winning designs presented "a resilient housing typology and something that's sustainable and looks at solar power capabilities." The winning designs also stand out, he added, because they looked at a community's master plan and figured out how to "fit that new house into the existing context or the neighborhood."
(MORE: Sandy's Epic Devastation)
The first exhibit in Manhattan comes to an end this weekend, but Horn says ORLI hopes to display the ideas in other communities impacted by Sandy.
"We are interested in more engaging dialogue between the homeowners and the finalists, and maybe showing their designs to someone who can has more say and can implement those designs," he added.
You can see the top three designs in the slideshow above, and read more about ORLI on the group's Facebook page and the 3C competition here.

NEW YORK (AP) — Valerie Harper, who played Rhoda Morgenstern on television's ''The Mary Tyler Moore Show'' and its spinoff, ''Rhoda,'' has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.
People magazine reported on its website Wednesday that the 73-year-old actress received the news on Jan. 15. Tests revealed she has leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, a rare condition that occurs when cancer cells spread into the fluid-filled membrane surrounding the brain. The report says Harper's doctors have said she has as little as three months to live.
''I don't think of dying,'' Harper told the magazine in a cover interview. ''I think of being here now.''
Harper's character, Rhoda, was one of television's most beloved characters during the 1970s, and the tart-tongued, self-deprecating Rhoda made Harper a star. She won three consecutive Emmys (1971-73) as supporting actress on ''Mary'' plus another for outstanding lead actress for ''Rhoda,'' which ran from 1974-78.
Harper began show business as a dancer in several Broadway musicals, and worked in summer stock and with the Second City improv group.
''I was a dancer but I was always a little overweight,'' she once told The Associated Press. ''I'd say, 'Hello, I'm Valerie Harper and I'm overweight.' I'd say it quickly before they could. ... I always got called chubby, my nose was too wide, my hair was too kinky.''
Accordingly, she played Rhoda at first as a plump, wisecracking contrast to slender, winsome Mary Richards. But as ''The Mary Tyler Moore Show'' evolved, Rhoda trimmed down and her own brand of beauty was acknowledged.
The character was wildly popular and soon inspired her own CBS sitcom, which saw Rhoda moving back home to New York City and even getting married.
After her success on TV, she returned to theater. Several TV movie and feature films followed, including ''Chapter Two'' and ''Blame It on Rio.''
In 2000, she reunited with Moore in a TV film, ''Mary and Rhoda.''
''Rhoda Morgenstern gave a wonderful impetus and propulsion to my career,'' she told the AP in 2001.
At the time, she had stepped into the role originated by former ''Alice'' star Linda Lavin in the Broadway comedy ''The Tale of the Allergist's Wife.''
Harper played what she described as ''an angst-ridden Woman of a Certain Age,'' and she likened that character to Rhoda, whose shared creed, she said, is ''Get into life, and enjoy it. Just stop with the white knuckles and relax. Be OK with yourself.''
In recent years, Harper had guest roles on several TV series, and in 2010 was back on Broadway playing Tallulah Bankhead, a flamboyant star from Hollywood's Golden Age.
AP Drama Critic Michael Kuchwara wrote that ''Harper submerges the iconic Rhoda Morgenstern'' and ''has a ferocious sense of comic timing.''
In January, Harper published a new memoir, ''I, Rhoda.''

BWB Africa Day 3: 'You Are The Future of This Country'
August 31 , 2013
Johannesburg woke up to a chilly Saturday morning as the life skills and basketball action continued on the courts of King Edward VII School. As on the morning before, both boys and girls started their third day at the camp with a life skills seminar. Kyrie Irving, Al Horford and Jerryd Bayless had headed to the courts before other coaches and players arrived to spend time with the youth and talk about leadership as well as share their life experiences and lessons.
But the message of the day came from Thabo Sefolosha, who told the campers in attendance, There are people here who care about the future of this country, and you are the future of this country Sefolosha said. Please respect this court and make a good use of it by coming here, keeping it in a safe place, keeping it in a place where you can play sports, interact with one another, in a good way and in a good manner.
