What is MathML?
MathML 3.0 was released as a W3C Recommendation on 21 October 2010. It is a revision of MathML 2.0, issued seven years ago. A product of the W3C Math Working Group, MathML is a low-level specification for describing mathematics as a basis for machine to machine communication which provides a much needed foundation for the inclusion of mathematical expressions in Web pages. It is also important in publishing workflows for science and technology and wherever mathematics has to be handled by software. The new version brings, for instance, improvements for accessibility of mathematics, and for formulas in languages written from right to left. The basic markup remains the same, as the community have seven years of experience with it. See the Testimonials welcoming MathML 3.0. [more].
Try it!
A variety of implementations of MathML are available (browsers and authoring tools, educational and symbolic algebra software…), many of which are Open Source. Go to the MathML Software list for descriptions and pointers, or read the Implementation and Interoperability report.
There is a good chance that your browser already supports MathML (possibly with the addition of a plug-in).
2014-02-11: W3C review for MathML3 2nd edition
The members of W3C are currently reviewing the second editions of MathML 3 and XML Entity Definitions for Characters. The Math Working Group updated both Recommendations to correct some obvious mistakes and especially to add many clarifications. The review lasts four weeks and the expectation is that these documents will replace the existing Recommendations around March/April.
Most people are used to MathML on its own or inside XML-based formats. But now that people are starting to use math in HTML5, which has slightly different syntax rules, people asked for more explanation. MathML has the same structure and meaning independent of the concrete syntax, but may have to be written in a different way inside HTML5. The new specification explains that, and also makes sure that all examples (except, obviously, those that specifically demonstrate syntax issues) can be copied and pasted into an HTML5 context.
As far as implementations go, the new specification requires no changes. HTML5 implementations have to follow the syntax defined in the HTML5 specification, XML implementations follow the XML specification, and the MathML specification defines how to display and interpret the resulting elements. And that part has not changed.
The XML Entities specification was updated to include the latest Unicode specification. (The previous Recommendation referred to Unicode 5, the current version to 6.) Descriptions were added for symbols that are new in Unicode 6, including the new Arabic math symbols. The text was also reorganized for more clarity. No new entities were defined.
2013-11-26: "Mathematics in ebooks": project looking for sponsors
Frédéric Wang, well-known for his work on MathML in Firefox and MathJax, has launched a call for sponsors for a project called Mathematics in ebooks.
The problem is lack of programmer time. There are few people who can do the programming and they have little spare time. Frédéric Wang is one of them and the project is meant to allow him to work full-time for a few months.
The main goals of the project are twofold:
- Create a collection of educational & scientific documents that will serve as examples & test cases for publishers and implementers.
- Improve rendering quality in WebKit and Gecko so that EPUB publishers can rely on it.
His initial target is € 3960, or one person in France working full-time for three months.
2011-06-07: MathML for CSS Profile is a W3C Recommendation
With the advancement of CSS Level 2 Revision 1 to Recommendation, the MathML for CSS Profile automatically also became a Recommendation.
The Profile describes which parts of MathML3 can be formatted with CSS and which can thus be displayed by many types of software that understand CSS but do not understand MathML itself. This allows quite a large part of MathML already to be used even though not all browsers and formatters implement full MathML yet.
The specification had already been tested and reviewed by the W3C members and the W3C Director in October 2010, but it has a normative dependency on CSS, and thus couldn't be a standard unless CSS Level 2 was a standard itself.
2010-10-21: MathML3 is a W3C Recommendation
The W3C Director has advanced MathML version 3.0 to a W3C Recommendation. The press release has more information. Several companies have already expressed support for the new standard.
Compared to MathML 2, the major additions in version 3 are support for bidirectional layout, better linebreaking and explicit positioning, elementary math notations, and a new strict content MathML vocabulary with well-defined semantics.
MathML 3 is also part of version 5 of HTML (currently still in development), which means embedding math in Web documents will become easier, with direct import from HTML to mathematics software and vice versa.
The MathML for CSS Profile has also received positive reviews, but it cannot yet progress to W3C Recommendation, because it depends on CSS2, which is still in CR status. (The CSS working group expects CSS2 to become W3C Recommendation early in 2011.)
2010-08-10: MathML3 and MathML for CSS are Proposed Recommendations
The W3C Director approved the publication of the MathML version 3.0 specification and its companion, the MathML for CSS Profile, as Proposed Recommendations. Until September 10, the two documents undergo what should be the final review by the W3C members, before becoming W3C Recommendations. MathML3 was until now a Candidate Recommendation, which means it was being tested in practice. Becoming Proposed Recommendation means the tests were successful. You can see with the test suite (and the test results of a number of current implementations) how well your software supports MathML.

Great little spork. It is very lightweight, almost suspiciously lightweight. The price is fair for what you are getting. This will be the only eating utensil I pack from now on. Mine also came with a cool little carabiner which I'm assuming is also titanium. I'm sure it will work it's way onto my pack somehow.
The model shipped to me has a solid handle....no holes. Don't care. Its still super light. And probably stronger. It has a weird dryish texture but I got used to it quickly. I don't notice it now. The little fork teeth are perfect for stabbing at those little beef cubes with a spoon full of noodles when eating dehydrated beef stroganoff.

Make your own solid-state hard drive and save
No moving parts, shock resistant, and incredibly short seek time are some of many benefits you get from a solid-state hard drive. However, for now, the price for a SSD is so incredibly high that calling "insanely priced" might not be an over statement. It's hard to justify (or to afford for that matter) spending about $1,000 for only 64GB when you can pay about 10 percent of that cost for a regular 200GB laptop hard drive.
So how about making our own SSD?

Michael Boylan's blog
Coming up short
Last week, the Atlanta Falcons stormed out to an early lead on Seattle and barely hung on for the win. Yesterday, they stormed out to a big lead on San Francisco and then let their chance for an appearance in the Super Bowl slip away. I love the fast starts but this team needs to find a way to keep up the intensity and stop opposing teams momentum.
The playoff win that almost wasn't
I don't know what will happen next Sunday, or Super Bowl Sunday if they make it that far, but I can tell you this about the Falcons - it's never going to be easy.
Sunday's game against the surging, red-hot Seahawks appeared to be a laugher. All week long the pundits were discounting the achievements of the 13-3, top seeded Falcons and anointing Seattle's young upstarts as the team to beat. The Falcons built a sizable lead against the Seahawks and looked dominant. The crow sandwiches the pundits were looking at around halftime must have looked very unappealing.
Taking my son to the ballpark
Two weekends ago, I decided to take my son to see the Atlanta Braves take on the Pittsburgh Pirates. The next day was my son's 7th birthday, so I thought I'd surprise him with a night out at the park.
Coach Dad
I don't know how Tiger Woods' father did it. Or Chipper Jones' dad. My dad. Any father really who volunteered or dedicated their free time to teaching and assisting their children's athletic goals. I understand the motivation behind it. I would give anything for my children's happiness and success in whatever they have a passion for but I was not a great coach when I helmed a U6 soccer team in the spring of 2010. Now my son is dabbling in running and I'm trying to be a better parent/coach. I'm afraid that I'm going to fall into similar pitfalls this time around, if not the exact same ones.
Weighing in on sports stories?
I don't really have one great idea for a column this week, so I think I'll weigh in on a number of things going on in the sports world this week instead.
Great and not so great
I have been reporting on sports in the area for the better part of 13 years. I've seen a lot of talented athletes and amazing games and I'm sure to see a lot more, especially now that the beast that is The Citizen Sports Weekly must be fed.
Today, I am going to discuss what I think is great about all of the sports I cover and what is not so great about them.
Good sportsmanship
I hate losing. I'll bet most of you do, too, but I'll also wager that the majority of readers out there handle it better than I have in my past.
When I was playing organized sports growing up, I wasn't too bad. I didn't spit on my hand during post-game handshakes and I only said "bad game" to the opponents a time or two. I like to think this is because I was a highly-evolved human being at the time - what 11 year-old isn't? - but it probably had more to do with the fact that the team I played on at the time didn't lose very often. It is very easy to be a good sport when you are winning.
Soccer from all angles
The first sport I played as a kid was t-ball. I played because my friends played and I don't remember much else about it. When I was older my parents would recall how long and boring the games were. I didn't clamor to play again though and eventually played soccer for the Typhoons. Our jerseys were long sleeve and light blue. I remember that only because I recently found a picture of that team. It was a co-ed team and we played Under-8 ball.
I hope I'm wrong
They say that a team's record in the preseason is meaningless. They point to the Detroit Lions who went 4-0 in their preseason a few years ago and then didn't win a game during the regular season. Maybe they are right. I hope so because the Braves spring training has been wretched and it points to some big areas of concern for a team that closed poorly last year and has been behind the division-winning Phillies for several years now.
Winning your NCAA basketball bracket
The first rule of creating the winning bracket in your office's NCAA Men's basketball bracket pool is that there are no rules. You can be as haphazard or meticulous as you like. If you have ever filled out a bracket before, you likely know that it doesn't matter how you do it, your bracket will end up busted anyway. That's half the fun of the tournament. You may not win the pool, but you had a good time watching some great college basketball. Congratulations, your focus on the upcoming baseball season and the NFL Draft has been successfully diverted for a few short weeks.

BANGOR, Maine (AP) - A Florida man was delusional during a court-ordered examination performed three days after he acted paranoid and claimed to have dynamite aboard a trans-Atlantic flight, forcing the airplane to be diverted to Maine, a psychologist testified Wednesday.
Derek Stansberry was suffering from a "psychotic break" from reality and exhibiting symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia, believing that jail staff had injected him with drugs, Dr. Bruce Kerr told a federal magistrate via phone. Kerr said that at the time Stansberry was unable to assist in his defense.
But Stansberry has since made a turnaround.
Public defender Virginia Villa said Wednesday her client is now lucid and rational, willing to share information and able to assist in his defense.
A federal magistrate judge ruled after questioning Stansberry that's he's competent to proceed, but a detention hearing was delayed until Friday.
Prosecutors say the 26-year-old Stansberry passed a note to the flight crew that said he had a fake passport. When questioned by federal air marshals, he told them he had dynamite. The April 27 Paris-to-Atlanta flight ended up landing at Bangor International Airport.
It turns out that Stansberry's travel papers were in order and there was no dynamite. He's charged with false information and threats, and interfering with a flight crew.
The former intelligence specialist who left the Air Force with an honorable discharge had been working for a defense contractor in Africa and was returning to his home in Riverview, Fla.
Kerr, who met with Stansberry only once, said Stansberry told him he was intent on making sure his defense attorney made no reference in court to "classified information" that he possessed. He told Kerr that he wanted to prevent others from "connecting the dots."
In court, however, Stansberry looked alert. He answered the Magistrate Judge Margaret Kravchuk's questions with, "Yes, ma'am" or "No, ma'am," and "Yes, your honor," or "No, your honor."
Stansberry said he understood the charges against him and was willing to cooperate with his attorney in explaining his actions on the plane. He said he would be willing to allow his attorney to bring up his explanation of the alleged "classified information."
After the hearing, Stansberry was returned to federal custody. His girlfriend from Florida attended the hearing but declined to speak to reporters.

Member of perfume warehouse armed robbery scheme involving nYPD officers sentenced to 70 months in prison
September 14, 2011 |
NEWARK, N.J.– Luis Morales, 33, of Brooklyn, N.Y., was sentenced today to 70 months in federal prison for his role in the armed robbery of a Carlstadt, N.J., perfume warehouse in which he and several active NYPD officers, one former NYPD officer, and others stole approximately $500,000 of perfume while holding 11 employees hostage, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
On March 5, 2010, Morales was arrested and charged along with NYPD Officers Brian Checo and Richard LeBlanca, both of New York; former NYPD Officer Orlando Garcia of New York, and others. Morales pleaded guilty on May 26, 2010, before U.S. District Court Judge William H. Walls in Newark, to an Information charging him with conspiring to obstruct commerce in connection with his role in robbing hundreds of boxes of perfumes and fragrances from a warehouse used by In-Style USA Inc. in Carlstadt.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
Morales admitted he conspired in early February 2010 with NYPD officers and others to rob the In-Style USA warehouse. Morales stated that he was recruited by one of the other conspirators the day before the robbery took place to participate in the robbery in exchange for a payment of $2,500. Morales admitted that during the course of the robbery the NYPD officers entered the warehouse office and restrained 11 employees as other conspirators loaded hundreds of boxes of perfume onto trucks that were used to transport the stolen perfume.
In addition to the prison term, Judge Walls sentenced Morales to three years of supervised release. A universal restitution hearing before Judge Walls will be held for all defendants Nov. 9,
Checo, LeBlanca, Garcia and others have previously pleaded guilty or been convicted and have already been sentenced separately.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Michael B. Ward in Newark, for conducting the investigation. He also thanked the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office, under the direction of John L. Molinelli, as well as the Carlstadt Police Department and the NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau, for their assistance.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric T. Kanefsky of the U.S. Attorney's Office Special Prosecutions Division in Newark.
Defense counsel: James Patton Esq., Livingston, N.J.

WHEN CHARLENE DICALOGERO LIVED ALONE in an apartment in Watertown, she knew none of her neighbors. "I felt lonely and isolated," says the 53-year-old, a grants administrator at Lesley University. But since buying a $230,000, 700-square-foot home at Camelot CoHousing in Berlin four years ago, DiCalogero couldn't be lonely if she tried.
Camelot is an enclave of 34 compact homes with welcoming front porches that sit clustered together in this rural town, about a half-hour drive northeast of Worcester. The road and parking areas are off to the side, while pedestrian walkways wind among the houses. The development is engineered to encourage relationships with neighbors — and it seems to be working.
Passersby receive invitations to join homeowners for a glass of wine, or, for the kids on scooters, an offer of a Kool-Aid "for the road." Those who want to can share communal dinners a couple of times a week at the complex's common house, which also has been the site of dance classes, board game nights, and a workshop on falling safely, attended mainly by the sort of older folks who worry about breaking a hip.
The neighborhood of about 80 people, ranging in age from 80 to 8 months, is small enough that everyone knows everyone else, yet large enough to ensure privacy. That community size is by design, too, an element of co-housing since it was pioneered in Denmark in the 1960s and '70s. Camelot, with both market-rate and affordable housing, opened in 2008 and sold its last available unit in 2012. Another co-housing development, Mosaic Commons, is just down the hill.
With a one-bedroom unit easily adapted to walkers and wheelchairs, DiCalogero, who is single, now calls Camelot her retirement plan. "There are interesting people around who will be there to help me if I get sick and can relate to me as I get older," she says. Sure, she adds, the modest homes are "not single-family houses on 2 acres — but why would you want to [live like] that if you have a choice?"
DiCalogero is not the only baby boomer thinking ahead to how she'll stay active and socially engaged in the decades to come. Camelot is one of 13 developments of its kind in Massachusetts, with more inevitably on the way. And co-housing is just one of many ways boomers are trying to avoid being alone in their later years, or at least delay moving into a nursing home.
Few of America's 78 million 49- to 67-year-olds have any intention of aging the way their parents have, wedded to their independence at all costs, even if it ultimately means social isolation. Plenty of older people are moving in with their boomer children, but many others don't want to be a burden — for them, the plan is to stay home until they can't anymore.
But not the baby boomers, who can envision all sorts of alternate living arrangements. "To [the older generation], living alone is the only measure of success, but the boomers' comfort with interdependence means there are many options," says Dr. Bill Thomas, an influential geriatrician and author based in New York. "Aging in community, rather than all alone, is going to make the boomers' experience of old age different than anything that ever came before."
It may be time to start calling the "Me Generation" the "We Generation."
JOANNE TULLER, a 58-year-old community health center administrator, has lived with other people — other people who aren't relatives — for her entire adult life. She loved college dorm life, so after she graduated, Tuller moved to a co-op in Cambridge with seven housemates. This is great, she recalls thinking early on. This is for me.
More than three decades later, Tuller owns a big Victorian in Dorchester with her partner and shares it with five other adult men and women — plus one newborn. The residents buy their food together, split the cooking and other chores, and each pays about $525 a month.
While admitting collective living isn't for everyone, "I expect that boomers are going to find the idea less radical than older people," says Tuller. "Boomers are community-oriented, they went to college and lived in dorms, the hippie [experience] makes them more open to living with people they're not related to."
There are compelling demographic reasons why Tuller's prediction is good news. For one, the pool of family caregivers is shrinking. Some 1 in 4 boomers never had children; those who did may have sons and daughters thousands of miles away. One-third of the population will face old age single — either widowed, divorced, or never married. Already, 4 million 50-plus women live in US households with at least two other women of similar age.

In order to effectively develop a lyophilization cycle, it is important to understand the glass transition temperature (through Differential Scanning Calorimetry "DSC") and collapse temperature (through Freeze-Drying Microscopy "FDM") of the formulation between the liquid, glassy, and frozen states. These values will help define the maximum product temperature that the product can achieve during primary drying in order to prevent collapse or melt back of the product due to incomplete sublimation of unbound moisture and/or solvent. This should happen prior to the ramp to secondary drying with final removal of the bound moisture and/or solvent.

Question: "How do you feel about cell phone towers going up on Longboat Key?"
Sandi Wagner
"We need them, but it's also good not to have them here. Here, people can relax, and it keeps the Key the way it should feel without them. It probably won't happen because of the way they look."
Trish Gough
"I don't think that would go down here on the Key."
Keith Bickel
"I think it's an important public service. For instance, if there's an emergency somewhere people need to be able to get through to each other. People need an emergency service — especially on the beach with the problem of the riptides. So many more people are using different ways of communicating that all depend on reliable service — iPhones, new tablets. My wife and I each have different cell-phone services because neither really works here. It's a public need to have the towers."
Stephen Sunderland
"I have no cell-phone service right now, what an irony. It's a public necessity. If you want electricity, the city provides electricity — it's the same idea. Also, elder populations often have medical issues and they need to be able to call for help. It should be a requirement to have the towers."
Shirley Green
"I'm not thrilled about it. I don't like the idea. Where are all they going? I've seen what they look like. They're going to obstruct."
Fred Green
"They're unsightly. They may be interfering with other things also, like our AM radio."

Example: 'B' for Bladder Cancer

Personal tools
The Bone and Soft Tissue Oncology Program offers the most up-to-date advances in screening methods, diagnostic tools, surgical techniques, and medical and radiation therapies. The overall goal of the program is to ensure that patients receive leading-edge, integrated specialty care for bone or soft tissue cancer.
Until recently, most musculoskeletal cancers were considered to be rapidly fatal. However, advances in chemotherapy and radiation therapy have dramatically raised cure rates. Diagnostic advances have permitted the identification of separate malignant entities, which in turn has led to more specific treatments directed at individual tumor types. In addition to improved cure rates, limb saving operations can now be performed in over 80-90% of these tumors.
It is important that we obtain your pertinent medical records including applicable radiology reports, lab reports, pathology slides, and medical summaries. You should bring copies of these reports to your first appointment. Whenever possible you should obtain the original x-ray films and pathology slides from your doctor. If you have had surgery related to bone or soft tissue cancer, you should also bring a copy of the operative note.
Please bring the following to your clinic appointment:
Depending on their situation, patients may see an orthopaedic oncologist, a medical oncologist, a radiation oncologist or a combination of these specialists during their first clinic visit. They may also meet with nurses, radiologists, and technicians and have diagnostic tests and scans.
If the patient is seen by more than one specialist, these physicians will discuss the patient's case and work together to develop a treatment plan. The primary physician managing the patient's care will discuss the treatment plan with the patient. Patients may be offered the opportunity to participate in a clinical research trial if it appears that this would be a good option. If surgery is required, a date will be set. Patients requiring chemotherapy will be instructed as to what to expect and how to manage care at home.
If, after being evaluated by a radiation oncologist radiation treatment is planned, the treatment, procedures and side effects will be explained. The patient may be scheduled for simulation. This process involves using x-ray images to plan radiation treatment so that the target treatment area is precisely located and marked. After simulation, a radiation therapist gives the patient the date and time when treatment will begin.
Arrangements may be made for the patient to meet support service providers. These might include a social worker, a financial counselor, a chaplain, a patient counselor, or a nutritionist, depending on the patient's needs and interests. Patients will have an opportunity to visit the Cancer Patient/Family Resource Center where they can obtain information about their diagnosis and learn about support groups and resources for individuals with cancer.
The nurse coordinator will follow the patient with the managing physician through all of his/her care at UNC. She will ensure continuity in the patient's care if s/he needs to see multiple cancer specialists and receive different types of treatment. Letters will be sent to the patient's local physician to inform him/her of the patient's treatment plan and status. Patients are referred back to their local physician for continuing care when appropriate.
Programs at UNC that work closely with the Bone and Soft Tissue Oncology Program include:
Available Monday - Friday, 8:30 a.m - 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time

The Philips CD-i (Compact Disc Interactive) is an interactive multimedia CD player developed and marketed by Royal Philips Electronics N.V. This category of device was created to provide more functionality than an audio CD player or game console, but at a lower price than a personal computer with a CD-ROM drive at the time. The cost savings were due to the lack of a hard drive, floppy drive, keyboard, mouse, monitor (a standard television was used), and less operating system software.
In addition to games, educational and multimedia reference titles were produced, such as interactive encyclopedias, museum tours, etc., which were popular before public Internet access was widespread. Competitors included the Tandy VIS and Commodore CDTV.
CD-i also refers to the multimedia Compact Disc standard used by the CD-i console, also known as Green Book, which was developed by Philips and Sony (not to be confused with MMCD, the pre-DVD format also co-developed by Philips and Sony). Work on the CD-i began in 1984 and it was first publicly announced in 1986.[4] The first Philips CD-i player, released in 1991 and initially priced around USD $700,[5] is capable of playing interactive CD-i discs, Audio CDs, CD+G (CD+Graphics), Karaoke CDs, Photo CDs and Video CDs (VCDs), though the latter requires an optional "Digital Video Card" to provide MPEG-1 decoding.
Seen as a game console, the CD-i format proved to be a commercial failure.[1] However, the device was sold until 1998, despite claims that Phillips planned a discontinuation in 1996. Despite this, they lost nearly one billion dollars on the entire project.
The CD-i was also one of the earliest consoles to implement internet gaming features that we still use today, including subscriptions, web browsing, downloading, e-mail, and online play. Using a Modem that Philips released in 1996 for $150.[6]
Early software releases in the CD-i format focused heavily on educational, music, and self-improvement titles, with only a handful of video games, many of them adaptations of board games such as Connect Four. Later attempts to develop a foothold in the games market were rendered irrelevant by the arrival of cheaper and more powerful consoles, such as the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation. Earlier CD-i games included entries in popular Nintendo franchises, although those games were not developed by Nintendo. Specifically, a Mario game (titled Hotel Mario), and three Legend of Zelda games were released: Link: The Faces of Evil, Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon and Zelda's Adventure. Nintendo and Philips had established an agreement to co-develop a CD-ROM enhancement for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System due to licensing disagreements with Nintendo's previous partner Sony (an agreement that produced a prototype console called the Play Station). While Philips and Nintendo never released such a CD-ROM add-on, Philips was still contractually allowed to continue using Nintendo characters.
Applications were developed using authoring software produced by OptImage. This included OptImage's Balboa Runtime Libraries and MediaMogul. The second company that produced authoring software was Script Systems; they produced ABCD-I.
Philips also released several versions of popular TV game shows for the CD-i, including versions of Jeopardy! (hosted by Alex Trebek), Name That Tune (hosted by Bob Goen), and two versions of The Joker's Wild (one for adults hosted by Wink Martindale and one for kids hosted by Marc Summers). All CD-i games in North America (with the exception of Name That Tune) had Charlie O'Donnell as announcer. The Netherlands also released its version of Lingo on the CD-i in 1994.
In 1993, American musician Todd Rundgren created the first music-only fully interactive CD, No World Order, for the CD-i. This application allows the user to completely arrange the whole album in their own personal way with over 15,000 points of customization.
CD-i has a series of learning games ("edutainment") targeted at children from infancy to adolescence. Those intended for a younger audience included Busytown, The Berenstain Bears, and various others which usually had vivid cartoon-like settings accompanied by music and logic puzzles.
Although extensively marketed by Philips, notably via infomercial, consumer interest in CD-i titles remained low. By 1994, sales of CD-i systems had begun to slow, and in 1998 the product line was dropped.
A large number of full motion video titles such as Dragon's Lair and Mad Dog McCree appeared on the system. One of these, Burn:Cycle, is considered one of the stronger CD-i titles and was later ported to PC.
With the home market exhausted, Philips tried with some success to position the technology as a solution for kiosk applications and industrial multimedia. The console still maintains a cult following on the Internet.[citation needed]
Player models[edit]
Philips models[edit]
In addition to consumer models, professional and development players were sold by Philips Interactive Media Systems and their VARs. Philips marketed several CD-i player models.
- The CD-i player 200 series, which includes the 205, 210, and 220 models. Models in the 200 series are designed for general consumption, and were available at major home electronics outlets around the world. The Philips CD-i 910 is the American version of the CD-i 205, the most basic model in the series.
- The CD-i player 300 series, which includes the 310, 350, 360, and 370 models. The 300 series consists of portable players designed for the professional market and not available to home consumers.[clarification needed (not available?)] A popular use was multimedia sales presentations such as those used by pharmaceutical companies to provide product information to physicians, as the devices could be easily transported by sales representatives.
- The CD-i player 400 series, which includes the 450, 470, 490 models. The 400 models are slimmed-down units aimed at console and educational markets. The CD-i 450 player, for instance, is a budget model designed to compete with game consoles. In this version, an infrared remote controller is not standard but optional.
- The CD-i player 600 series, which includes the 601, 602, 604, 605, 615, 660, and 670 models. The 600 series is designed for professional applications and software development. Units in this line generally include support for floppy disk drives, keyboards and other computer peripherals. Some models can also be connected to an emulator and have software testing and debugging features.
There also exist a number of hard-to-categorize models, such as the FW380i, an integrated mini-stereo and CD-i player; the 21TCDi30, a television with a built-in CD-i device; and the CD-i 180/181/182 modular system, the first CD-i system produced.
Other manufacturers[edit]
Besides Philips, several other manufacturers produced CD-i players, including Magnavox, GoldStar / LG Electronics, Digital Video Systems, Memorex, Grundig, Sony ('Intelligent Discman', a portable CD-i player), Kyocera, NBS, Highscreen, and Bang & Olufsen, who produced a television with a built-in CD-i device (Beocenter AV5).
TeleCD-i and CD-MATICS[edit]
Recognizing the growing need among marketers for networked multimedia, Philips partnered in 1992 with Amsterdam based CDMATICS to develop TeleCD-i (also TeleCD). In this concept, the CD-i player is connected to a network (PSTN, Internet or other) enabling data-communication and rich media presentation. Dutch grocery chain Albert Heijn and mail-order giant Neckermann Shopping were early adopters and introduced award-winning TeleCD-i applications for their home-shopping and home-delivery services. CDMATICS also developed the special Philips TeleCD-i Assistant and a set of software tools helping the worldwide multimedia industry to develop and implement TeleCD-i. TeleCD-i was the world's first networked multimedia application at the time of its introduction. In 1996, Philips acquired source code rights from CDMATICS.

The CD-i was met (after its discontinuation) with overwhelmingly negative reviews that criticized its price, graphics, games and controls. In fact, the CD-i's various controllers were ranked the fifth worst video game controller by IGN editor Craig Harris.[9] PC World (magazine) ranked it as fourth on their list of The 10 Worst Video Game Systems of All Time. [10] Gamepro.com also listed the game as number four on their list of The 10 Worst-Selling Consoles of All Time. [11] In 2008, CNET also listed the system on its list of The worst game console(s) ever. [12] In 2007, GameTrailers ranked the Philips CD-i as the fourth worst console of all time in its Top 10 Worst Console lineup.[13]
Games that were most heavily criticized include Hotel Mario, Link: The Faces of Evil, Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon and Zelda's Adventure. EGM's Seanbaby rated The Wand of Gamelon as one of the worst games of all time.[14]
However many games were praised. Among them, Burn:Cycle,[15][16] Chaos Control,[17][18] Mutant Rampage: Bodyslam,[19][20] and an advanced visual version of Tetris.[21]

It wasn't (Ilyas)Ova: Bucks 119 – Wizards 118
Category: Recaps
Ersan Ilyasova, PF 27 MIN | 5-9 FG | 2-2 FT | 11 REB | 1 AST | 13 PTS | -10
After a strong start, nine points and seven rebounds in the first quarter, Ersan was largely kept captive. The effort that typically lands him a few rebounds was matched in the second half by Booker. Again with this Booker guy. He really muscled up in the second half and helped get Ersan off to a bad start after the break. Down the stretch, Skiles rode a small lineup that had Mbah a Moute and Harris up front and Ersan watching. But Ersan came back in a big way down the stretch. He hit the offensive glass hard on the Bucks final possession and tipped in Jennings' floater to give Milwaukee a win they badly wanted. |
Brandon Jennings, PG 31 MIN | 6-18 FG | 1-2 FT | 4 REB | 10 AST | 14 PTS | -14
Jennings and John Wall took turns dribbling past each other most of the game. Both effectively at kicked out to open shooters too. Watching either one of them dribble through traffic in an up-tempo game is incredible. Both are so smooth and controlled. Watching either one of them in a half court offense is often painful though. Jennings settles for everything and Wall missed on a number of easy opportunities at the rim/failed to really take control the way it seems like he should be able to. Wall got his teammate an easy dunk on the pick and roll and then rose over Jennings late for what seemed like it would be the game winner. Jennings dribbled it off himself to set up that possession. Things looked bad. But Milwaukee's young point guard got to his left and got off a look as good as Wall did on Milwaukee's last possession. He doesn't have Wall's athleticism, so he couldn't soar up and bank it in, but his look created the opportunity for Ilyasova's tip. |
Mike Dunleavy, SF 33 MIN | 9-17 FG | 5-5 FT | 2 REB | 1 AST | 28 PTS | 0
16 points in the second quarter on 6-9 FG and 4-6 3FG. Dunleavy was feeling it. Each of his catches from deep in the second came without a defender within a few feet of him. It was awesome when Dunleavy used a pump fake to get a Wizards player to fly by then calmly dribbled once and knocked down his shot as no other defender helped on a few occasions. |
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, SF 23 MIN | 4-6 FG | 5-7 FT | 6 REB | 0 AST | 13 PTS | +6
Mbah a Moute helped calm down the Wizards in the fourth quarter. He nabbed a few offensive boards and made good on a few put backs and shots around the rim. When he's doing this, no one can say anything bad about him. When he's shooting jump shots, which it seems like he's done way too often over the past month, he's kind of a problem. Work to your strengths and keep your weaknesses in a dark closet Luc. |
Tobias Harris, F 21 MIN | 4-7 FG | 3-4 FT | 7 REB | 1 AST | 11 PTS | +11
Aggressive as ever, Harris got to the line a couple of times and finished around the hoop just as frequently. Offensively, he's pretty ready to be good – at the least – on most nights. But defensively he certainly wasn't answering any of the Bucks many questions. |
Four Things We Saw
- I'd blame the Wizards first half woes on rust from the All-Star break, but I'm confident it has more to do with them not being good, so we'll go with that. They found some life at the start of the second half when Randy Wittman benched starters Trevor Booker, JaVale McGee and Nick Young. The subs helped spark a run that eliminated Milwaukee's halftime lead of 14. The Wizards reserves, mainly Mo Evans, Roger Mason and Jordan Crawford, made this a game.
- But the Wizards reserves are still Wizards players. So, they found a way to blow it. JaVale McGee played so poorly in the first half that he never returned and the feel good group couldn't close the deal against the Bucks. That says a lot about the Wizards.
- Milwaukee's defensive holes were evident throughout the night. When Booker – yeah, Trevor Booker – started going to work inside, that was a pretty alarming moment. He was overpowering Milwaukee's forwards and muscling home baskets around the rim and on the block. Without a center to protect the hoop, Milwaukee simply was out-muscled when they opted – maybe not by preference – to go small.
- Defense is still a problem. 118 points to the Wizards. Credit John Wall, he blew by Jennings and anyone else guarding him most fo the night and set his teammates up for open threes. Credit his teammates too – they made them.

Now I ain't no expert or anything, I'm just an old suthin' law-ya, but your chances of winning in a last-second-shot situation go up tremendously when you actually get the shot off instead of fumbling the ball all over the place or turning it over.
Ummm…what exactly is your metric for grades, if any at all? It's all subjective, of course, but I can't find any rhyme or reason game to game. Dunleavy had the best game of his Bucks career and he earns a B? If you knock him for defense, then at least mention it your caption. In general, your commentary is helpful but your grading system is confusing/totally futile. Sorry if that sounds too critical, but given that you're putting yourself out there I thought I may as well comment.
@Eroco6 What you just touched on is a giant disgrace. And the futility of the grades besmirches the high reputation of this blog.

Dose Dense chemotherapy has been around now for a number of years. This term is applied to a schedule of chemo that is faster than the more traditional one. Specifically, DD (dose dense) chemotherapy is adjuvant breast cancer is treatment that is delivered every two weeks, with the addition of medications (Neulasta) to support blood counts, rather than every three weeks.
Here is a study from JCI about its efficacy as compared to the traditional routine. I give you the summary and then a link to read the whole article:

Countdown: US elections and the Iranian bomb
By ARIEL HARKHAM
10/10/2012 21:48
PM's refusal to sit quietly by conveys the impression of a leader who understands that his nation is confronting a dire state of affairs.
Netanyahu, Panetta shake hands

With Iran racing to the nuclear finish line, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu undertook a difficult decision to bring his case before the American people and then the world. What had previously been a discussion over strategy toward Iran and "red lines" that occurred mainly in the corridors of power descended onto Main Street as the leader of Israel began to articulate his country's position on Iran.
The political astuteness of this move consists in Netanyahu's understanding that regardless of who sits in the White House next year, there is a strong likelihood that whoever is elected will be faced with the same decision over how to deal with the specter of a Iranian militant theocracy going nuclear.
Netanyahu's diplomatic breach began with his comments of September 10, implicitly directed at the US administration: "Those who refuse to set red lines, have no moral right in preventing Israel from setting its own."
Netanyahu understood the weight of this statement and couched his position on Iran as a moral one. This in essence turned the issue into one far greater than a disagreement over policy with a sitting president. With a deep understanding of America's political tradition Netanyahu appealed to American values – not strategic interests – knowing full well that as a Republic, the ultimate source of power in the US lies with its citizenry.
Rather than asking for tangible or material support from the US, Netanyahu played a more nuanced card and asked for the establishment of "red lines." The usage of "red lines" was critical to supply a nuanced but critical critique on the current US-Israeli joint Iranian strategy. Netanyahu explained sensibly to the American people and then the UN General Assembly what a serious discussion over Iran should consist of.
The American people understand more then most nations the difficult calculus of defending national interests, and the notion of red lines makes sense to Americans, redoubled by a shared threat perception to a world with a nuclear Iran.
Here lies Netanyahu's success; American's reaction to Netanyahu's "red lines" has been by and large one of empathy, not anger. Recent US domestic polls that point to a 70 percent favorability toward Israel attest to this positive reaction to Netanyahu's public diplomacy.
Netanyahu's approach was not without its critics, however, both from domestic and international audiences.
It has been a well-regarded tradition in Israeli governance not to meddle in US elections so as to not disturb the bipartisan support it has enjoyed for so long.
NETANYAHU'S REFUSAL to adhere to this political custom is the greatest indication to the public that time is running out on Iran. Netanyahu's refusal to sit quietly by conveys the impression of a leader who understands that his nation is confronting a dire state of affairs. Tradition in politics is there to provide guidance, yet history proves that tradition does not trump the law of necessity.
Given this extraordinary reality, and Netanyahu's decision to confront it, now more then ever solidarity need descend on the Israeli public and coalesce around its leadership as it begins to chart uncharted waters. This explains why Netanyahu is making moves toward early elections, seeking greater consensus around his premiership.
The backlash to Netanyahu's public diplomacy, especially during a US election season, was to be expected and Netanyahu was cautious enough to go on CNN and NBC to clarify his position to the American people and explain why this untimely divergence from the Obama administration had occurred.
His further call in the UN for red lines only punctuated to the American public the urgency that forced the prime minister to protest in such a loud fashion the week previously. President Obama may stew, but it was his refusal to provide Israel with a cogent strategy of cooperation that forced Netanyahu to go rogue.
The president said as much in his September 23 interview with 60 minutes, dismissing Netanyahu's public protest: "When it comes to our national security decisions – any pressure that I feel is simply to do what's right for the American people. And I am going to block out – any noise that's out there."
By Obama's own admission, when it comes to Iran he is purely guided by American interests. Netanyahu is only reacting in kind; observing an uncooperative US president, he will pursue other avenues to further Israel's interest.
Obama made it clear that beyond his obligation to "consult," Israeli strategic needs are mere "noise." It was precisely this perception that the prime minister's UN speech, days after this interview, has forcefully dispelled. Netanyahu re-took the initiative and declared his own red line.
On Iran, Obama's administration has increasingly sounded more and more tone-deaf to the speed of events, seeming more interested in convincing Israel to stand down than in deterring Iran. Regarding President Obama's brinksmanship, he is simply not behaving in a manner that would deter Iran from moving toward the nuclear finish line. But it is President Obama's inability to learn from this failure, together with the late date on the Iranian time-line, that has created profound doubt in the Netanyahu camp.
Netanyahu's public diplomacy at this stage, given these dire circumstances, can therefore be seen as prudence in the face of growing fear that an Iranian nuke is a fait accompli. For the honest observer, quiet diplomacy can no longer suffice, and the American people need know about it. Not because America should prepare to attack, but rather it should prepare for the day Israel may have to.
Little reminder is needed that Jewish history is strewn with demagogues who took their demagoguery and turned it into devastating action against the Jewish people. "Never Again" is too fresh in Jewish memories to brush aside Iranian genocidal threats and belligerent actions as fleeting and exaggerated. So what is required at this moment, when Obama would rather sit with a latenight comedian then with the Israeli prime minister to discuss such extraordinary matters of international security? Netanyahu's Churchillian answer has been unflinching, defiant, unapologetic resolve.
Netanyahu made clear that if Israel cannot deal effectively with Iran in a joint effort, then Netanyahu, the elected leader of the Jewish state, will come before the American citizenry, and after it the world, and plead his case.
Too much is at stake not to.
Netanyahu's declaration of his own red lines on the floor of the UN – no third-stage enrichment – will have dramatic implications for the future. Israel is now cleared of negligence should it act alone, having put its friends and allies on notice that there is a storm on the horizon. In this declaration of Israel's red lines, Netanyahu has effectively given the Iranian nuclear clock a countdown that everyone can see.

My only criticisms about Burns and Civil War are minor. Over all I think he dida great job and rejuvinated interest in a part our history which was probably dwindling at that time. I too think a great deal of Foote. As I mentioned before, I met him at Laguardia on his way to film Civil War and mentioned how much I enjoyed reading his books. Later in a cpan books interview, he said how much he disdained people doing as I had done. Anticipating his new series national parks later this year. Doc C |
