- How to Read a Study Record
This will be an open-label trial in Burkina Faso assessing the pharmacokinetics of the antimalarial combination of dihydroartemisinin/piperaquine (DP, Duocotexcin) in children. Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine is a promising candidate for first-line therapy of malaria. We hypothesize that the disposition and pharmacokinetics of DP will be altered in children, and this will alter the efficacy and/or toxicity of DP. We will test this hypothesis in this open-label trial in Burkina Faso. The target population includes residents, aged 6 months to 10 years in Bobo-Dioulasso. Children who present to the study clinics with symptoms suggestive of malaria will be screened with a thick blood smear. Subjects who meet selection criteria of treatment efficacy will be treated and followed up for 42 days. Pharmacokinetic sampling for DP will occur on selected follow-up days.

AGAPE "Love" 5K Benefits 16-year old Repeat Cancer PatientRunning is a great way to fulfill your new year's resolutions, but sometimes it can be done to help others. Taylor Road Baptist Church is doing just that. The church held the AGAPE or the "love" run/walk early this morning in Montgomery. All proceeds of this race will help medical expenses for 16 year old cancer patient Amelia Word. She is fighting cancer for the second time. At age 6, she was diagnosed with a rare ovarian germ cell tumor and about nine years after paying her final bill, she was diagnosed with leukemia. Amelia says she's extremely grateful for the community's donations. She said, "There's a lot of significant because they're showing how much they care for us and how much they support our family and they didn't have to do this, but they chose to." Participants paid $25to be in the 5K, and $15 for the one mile. They also dressed in their favorite "royal-themed" costume to win a door prize! And, of course, Amelia was the judge.

October 4, 2013
By Sarah Deener
In July, it took 44 minutes to make the switch between airworthy and roadworthy. Trey Johnson hopes to winnow that down to 15 minutes, and the folks at Specialty Aero in Creswell, Ore., are working to make that a reality for the Plane Driven PD-2, a conversion kit for the Glasair Sportsman that offers the capability to "Fly above the traffic… drive through the weather."
At EAA AirVenture 2013, the distinctive vehicle was greeted by stares, waves, and cameras even among a crowd accustomed to unusual homebuilt creations. Johnson invited me to take a spin from the Glasair exhibit to the EAA museum and back with him so he could show off how the PD-2 handled on the road.
Engine noise filled the cockpit, but the propeller stood stationary in front of us. It wasn't the only thing that felt a bit off as we pulled out of the exhibit space under power of a 50-horsepower Kawasaki engine—there were the rearview mirrors, too, and the orange switches in the cockpit labeled "Fly" and "Drive." With the switches set to "Drive," we set off.
Passing the Terrafugia tent, he honked. Phil Meteer, who had recently piloted the Transition roadable airplane for spectators at the show, looked up and waved. In the realm of flying cars, the major ones flying today—Maverick, Terrafugia, and the PD-2—are all very friendly, Johnson said.
"We realize the more of us the better at this point. … They're all designed for different purposes," he said.
While it's one of an emerging class of roadable aircraft, the PD-2 caters to homebuilders who want to take their aircraft to another level. It is, first and foremost, an airplane. It has few of the creature comforts we often expect from cars—power steering, sound-dampening insulation, airbags—but can get you from Point A to Point B when the weather rolls in.
It cruises at 60 mph, up to about 73 mph, on the road, Johnson said. On a recent trip from Fort Myers, Fla., to Seattle, the Plane Driven team kept the PD-2 in drive mode for a 1,000-mile stretch from Rapid City, S.D., to Moses Lake, Wash., until weather improved.
As an airplane, it's quite capable: Johnson said it cruises at 140 mph true airspeed at 75-percent power and has a 1,100-pound useful load—enough to carry two adults, full fuel, 50 pounds of bags, and the "power pod," which affixes to the rear of the aircraft like a beefed-up tailwheel to drive it on the ground but stows in the baggage compartment in flight. The 192-pound pod shifts the center of gravity aft, but is still within limits.
"It's just a great little plane," Johnson said.
He said that instead of reinventing the design, he started with a proven airframe and strove to introduce no new points of failure in flight—the electrical systems remain separate. His "dirt-simple philosophy" stems from experience flying utility aircraft such as Beavers and Otters, he said.
One must drive the PD-2 defensively, like a motorcycle. (Johnson and his team at Plane Driven LLC plan to certify the road kit as a motorcycle, although the prototype he drove in Oshkosh is classified as a trike.) It's easy to forget that the structure is almost 8.5 feet wide and nine feet, four inches tall. Johnson slowed to check the clearance of the overhang at the entrance to the EAA museum as a woman pulled out a camera.
"Everything about it, you got to remember it's a plane," he later explained.
Johnson and the Plane Driven team have begun to produce the first production road kit to market as an add-on to the Sportsman kit; buyers would build the base aircraft in Glasair's Two Weeks to Taxi program, get it inspected for its airworthiness certificate, and then add the roadable kit for another inspection to make it street legal.
It will join a number of options for the customizable Sportsman; Johnson pointed out that the PD-2 was among different configurations of the versatile airplane featured at the Glasair exhibit at EAA AirVenture—including tundra tires and floats as well as the standard nosewheel and tailwheel. A buyer could use the roadable kit all winter, he said, and then switch to floats in a day for summer flying.
The base aircraft will cost builders about $210,000, including the assisted build process, he said, and he estimated the roadable kit will cost about $60,000. The build-your-own roadable airplane market is admittedly small, but Johnson said it offers valuable flexibility; pilots could keep their airplane at home, and they could also avoid being stuck at an airport when bad weather rolls in.
"If you go far enough, you're going to hit some bad weather," he said.

Re: Rezound: just a Tbolt upgrade?
Definitely. It will wipe your device clean; so, backup your pics, vids, etc. I would load each app one-by-one from the app store after the reset is finished.
In settings, turn off quick boot.
Pull out the battery.
Replace the battery.
Hold the volume down button while you press the power button to get to the HBOOTy screen.
It's been a while since I've seen the screen, but look for the factory reset option or something similar.
I would reset this way twice.

Day 2: I began my ride where so many other great things in New York began: Brooklyn
July 3, 2009
I began my ride where so many other great things in New York began: Brooklyn. The very first bike lane in New York City was the Ocean Parkway that gets you from Prospect Park to Coney Island, so this was the natural place for me to start my ride on all the bike lanes. I took the Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan, and found myself surrounded by concrete on the bike lane connecting the bridge to Tillary Street in downtown Brooklyn. Lucky for us plans are in the works to spruce up what should be a grand entrance to Brooklyn. The Ocean Parkway Greenway is a scenic route through many diverse neighborhoods, but it is actually not a particularly pleasant bike route as far as greenways go. For part of the route, the surface is concrete, like a sidewalk, and though there is a dedicated, separated bike lane, you have to cross large intersections every block. These intersections are complex because Ocean Parkway is a high-volume two-way street with service roads on either side. This leads to very long red lights. Also, the bike lane is at a higher grade than the street, so you are constantly going up and down small hills. It definitely took a toll on my body. That said, there are lots of other bikers on the path, and lots of pedestrians and people sitting on benches on the adjacent sidewalk, so it is an interesting ride that gets you close to the community. Regretfully, I went to Coney Island the day before the event that Coney Island is best known for: the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. It took about two hours to get from the Upper East Side to Coney Island, so I didn't really have the energy to check out the rides and attractions, which really speaks to one of the limitations of using a bike to get around. I'll have to come back on subway next time. I finished the ride by going through Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay to Bedford Avenue, which takes you all the way to Williamsburg. I continued through Greenpoint and Long Island City to the Queensborough Bridge. |

Few on the Broncos roster have more effectively weathered change at their position than Patrick Chukwurah.
For one thing, the former University of Wyoming standout is now the defensive lineman with the longest continuous orange-and-blue tenure on the roster. He first withstood the alterations of 2004, when the team invested in four veteran 30-somethings with lengthy résumé: Marco Coleman, Luther Elliss, Ellis Johnson and Raylee Johnson. He then survived the ex-Browns-transfusion of linemen that spelled the end of Ellis Johnson's short Denver stint and led to the decision to waive Elliss and Raylee Johnson during 2005′s training camp.
Through the last three years since joining the Broncos by signing a future contract on Jan. 13, 2004, Chukwurah has survived, even though his size makes him the classic "'tweener" — bigger than most linebackers, lighter than most defensive ends. At 250 pounds, he and Elvis Dumervil are the team's lightest defensive linemen, but Chukwurah carries his weight on a 6-foot-1 frame, while Dumervil checks in at 5-foot-11.
Chukwurah has burrowed his niche on the Broncos roster as a rotational end used in pass-rush situations and a special-teams contributor. He is, however, still looking for his first starting assignment.
The 2006 season seemed to encapsulate Chukwurah's career. There were some bright flashes of brilliance, as he began the year with 1.5 sacks in the first two games. There was a bothersome injury — in this case a hamstring problem that forced him to the inactive list for the November games with Oakland and San Diego. There was also an exasperating moment, when he ran into Rams punter Matt Turk early in the fourth quarter of the season opener at St. Louis, drawing a 15-yard roughing-the-passer penalty and the ire of assistant coach Ronnie Bradford, who worked with the special teams last season.
"He pretty much tore into me, but I'm not going to say he didn't have good reason to," Chukwurah said at the time. Nevertheless, Chukwurah asserted that the play should not have drawn the 15-yard penalty."I thought I was on the ground. I didn't touch him. I was on the ground. (Turk) fell on top of me," Chukwurah said. "We saw it on film. It wasn't me running into him at all. It is what it is, man. If the refs call it, then what can you do?"
You can have the most statistically productive season of your career, which is exactly how Chukwurah responded over the weeks that followed.
FINAL ANALYSIS: For the third consecutive year, Chukwurah played in 14 games, finishing 2006 with career standards in tackles (20) and sacks (4.5). The sack tally exceeded the total of his first five NFL campaigns, when he tagged quarterbacks for three and a half sacks, two of which came in his rookie campaign with the Minnesota Vikings just over five years ago.
NEXT: Wide receiver Brian Clark.

As many of you know, Facebook will be converting all fan pages to the timeline format on March 31, 2012. This will render obsolete many of the marketing tactics that many smart businesses and internet marketing consultants have been using for years. Along with this change comes a new set of guidelines for fan pages that will make many common marketing strategies a violation of Facebook's terms of service.

I'm retired and travel a lot, much of it by pickup truck. I can travel with my dog and it is much less expensive than flying. I have the time to drive.
When I travel or visit friends in other towns I always take my Pocket Sport so that I can get in a ride if I have any time. I have dual sided pedals so it I have my SPD shoes I ride in them and if not I ride in whatever I'm wearing.
This is the easiest to pack and use, and easiest to bring along of any of the 8 bikes that I own.
Submitted by: James Ralston June 7, 2012I bought the Pocket sport to replace my road bike. I live in a small house and need the fold to store the bike indoors. Initially I was worried about the budget component spec but because I was buying in the UK and had to factor in the import costs and shipping I went for the Pocket Sport instead of the more pricey Pocket Rocket, however I was not disappointed. This bike is one of the best set up I've ever had. My plan was to upgrade the budget group set when money allowed but the bike rides and functions so well I've decided to leave this till components wear out. I do a 24 mile round trip to work on footpath, tow path and road. The sport handles all this and still delivers a really comfortable ride. My only quibble is the saddle which is quite big and soft. I have a narrow pelvis so this didn't really work for me and I swopped it out for a Selle XO Transam. All round this is a really well considered and nicely built machine. Worth every penny.

[JURIST] Saddam Hussein's former lawyer on Saturday asked the British attorney general for consent to prosecute former prime minister Tony Blair [official profile; JURIST news archive] for violations of the Geneva Conventions [materials]. Giovanni di Stefano, who represents former Iraqi deputy prime minister Tariq Aziz [JURIST news archive], sent a letter [text, DOC] asking for consent to prosecute Blair after Blair said in a BBC interview aired Sunday that he would have invaded Iraq [BBC report] even if he knew there were no weapons of mass destruction. According to the letter:
In summary the allegation against ANTONY CHARLES LYNTON BLAIR involves a violation of offences within the Geneva Conventions Act 1957 which without doubt and by his own admission can only but be deemed "not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly."

Born on September 11, 1965, Bashar al-Assad had no intention of entering political life, let alone becoming president of Syria. But a tragic death and a calculating father saw to it that he would. Though promising to be a transformational figure who would propel Syria into the 21st century, al-Assad failed, and has instead followed in the footsteps of his father, leading to demands for reform and responding with a violent crackdown on the people of Syria.
"We don't kill our people ... no government in the world kills its people, unless it's led by a crazy person."
"I did my best to protect the people. I cannot feel guilty when you do your best."
"No doubt that the U.S. is a super-power capable of conquering a relatively small country, but is it able to control it?"
Early Life
Born on September 11, 1965, Bashar Hafez al-Assad is the second son of former Syrian President Hafez al-Assad, and his wife, Anisa. Hafez had risen to power through the Syrian military and the minority Alawite political party to take control of Syria in 1970. With much of the military composed of fellow Alawite associates, he was able to integrate the military into his political regime, and ruled Syria with an iron fist for three decades.
Bashar grew up quiet and reserved, in the shadow of his more dynamic and outgoing brother, Bassel. Educated at the Arab-French al Hurriya School in Damascus, Bashar learned to speak fluent English and French. He graduated from high school in 1982, and went on to study medicine at the University of Damascus, graduating in 1988. He conducted his residency in ophthalmology at the Tishreen military hospital outside of Damascus, and then traveled to Western Eye Hospital in London, England in 1992.
At this time, Bashar was leading the life a medical student, and had no intentions of entering a political life. His father had been grooming Bassel as the future president. But in 1994, Bassel was killed in an automobile accident, and Bashar was recalled to Damascus. Bashar's life would soon radically change. Hafez quickly and quietly moved to have Bashar succeed him as president; Bashar entered the military academy at Homs, located north of Damascus, and was quickly pushed through the ranks to become a colonel in just five years. During this time, he served as an advisor to his father, hearing complaints and appeals from citizens, and led a campaign against corruption. As a result, he was able to remove many potential rivals.
Hafez al-Assad died on June 10, 2000. In the days following his death, Syria's parliament quickly voted to lower the minimum age for presidential candidates from 40 to 34, so that Bashar could be eligible for the office. Ten days after Hafez's death, Bashar al-Assad was chosen for a seven-year term as president of Syria. In a public referendum, running unopposed, he received 97 percent of the vote. He was also selected leader of the Ba'ath Party and commander in chief of the military.
Bashar was considered a younger-generation Arab leader, who would bring change to Syria, a region long filled with aging dictators. He was well-educated, and many believed he would be capable of transforming his father's iron-rule regime into a modern state. Influenced by his western education and urban upbringing, Bashar initially seemed eager to implement a cultural revolution in Syria.

The logical extension of this... they tested a specific firmware version. So, if you show up with any other version, they don't let your modem on the network. They're still NOT going to upgrade customer owned modems. They've been down this bumpy road and have no desire to try it again. It sucks, but I agree with their reasons.Ideally, they should have a portal to allow *you* to request an update. But such a system would have a boatload of security implications.

They're still NOT going to upgrade customer owned modems. They've been down this bumpy road and have no desire to try it again. It sucks, but I agree with their reasons.
Ideally, they should have a portal to allow *you* to request an update. But such a system would have a boatload of security implications.
Do you have a link or evidence that what your saying is TWC's position?
Leased modems are much more closely controlled -- no matter how they come from the factory, they'll get the tested and approved for the local system firmware. They have no control over what version is on the retail modem at Frys.
Ordinarily, it wouldn't be an issue to reflash the customer owned modems. HOWEVER, there was a huge mess some years ago when they upgrade *all* the (buggy as hell to begin with) SB6120's. They bricked a lot of them -- their own, too.
No, I didn't bookmark them. (3-4years ago?) You seem to be unable to accept what anyone else says anyway, so what's it matter.
I found a single reference about a SB6120 and some Dlink with a few seconds of googling. Not that he'd believe anything off the internet.
I don't recall TWC bricking any 6120 modems but we have not used that one in Hawaii so I suppose it is possible I missed this happening...unlikely though as I read this forum regularly and have since before I joined this site back in 2001.You guys don't seem to realize that it is RARE for TWC to upgrade the firmware on any of their modems. In the almost 12 years I have had Road Runner, I have seen TWC upgrade the firmware on Surfboards TWO times only. The first time, I was responsible for forcing them to either upgrade the firmware on the SB 4100 due to a security problem or face lawsuits. Since every other cable ISP of reasonable size world wide had, a year or more earlier, upgraded the firmware to fix the security hole EXCEPT TWC which was still on the original factory issued firmware version, TWC didn't have much choice when I challenged them on it. They agreed to push a firmware upgrade across all divisions (not just Hawaii where my complaint started out) and agreed to start keeping timely firmware updates as Comcast and others were already doing.They pushed the firmware update shortly afterwards. Their excuse for ignoring the security update for so long when other cable companies pushed it as soon as Motorola released it was that they had bricked some modems once with a firmware update...but that was many years ago...*long before the 6120) and a rather feeble excuse since other cable companies had updated the SB 4100 firmware multiple times with no ill effects. The other firmware update pushed by TWC between 2001-2013 was to make my SB 5100 DOCSIS 2 capable.I got the SB6141 from Oceanic TWC when I upgraded to 20/2 recently. It was a brand new one still shrink wrapped and had notes with it in its factory box. It has the firmware from 2011 that you guys are griping about TWC not updating your personal bought ones that have that firmware. Why would TWC update yours when they have not updated their own? They won't push a firmware update unless absolutely necessary. TWC is notorious for this bad practice and they have not kept up that part of the agreement we reached many years ago.--When governments fear people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. Thomas Jefferson

Good info DrDrew , thanks.
If anything, TWC learned to update customer owned modem firmware more often. As far as I know TWC does update customer modem firmware, when they update other modems of the same make and model.
Am I the only engineer who read that tech note and thought, "well that's easy enough to fix." (not having used an Arris CMTS, I don't know how hard it is to remove that attr from it's response.) After all, why send a D3 attr to a D2 modem? (TWC's database does know what your modem is. myservices/myaccount shows the correct modem for my accounts.)
Right. No sleep and no caffeine.Either way, how hard is it to not send the TLV? On a Cisco, it's usually as easy as "no" in the right place to turn off a default. (maybe not to a specific subset of modems, 'tho)As for "old stock"... I know first hand how much of a pain in the ass it is to get a new firmware image into the manufacturing processes. (granted, our products are trivial to fix in the field.)
Either way, how hard is it to not send the TLV? On a Cisco, it's usually as easy as "no" in the right place to turn off a default. (maybe not to a specific subset of modems, 'tho)
Not to keep kicking the dead horse, but... Either way they go, there will be issues. No updates mean there will be buggy modems out there. Doing the updates means some of them are going to fail -- yes, with a sample size as large as an ISP, there. will. be. failures. (I've been there, signed the PO for the t-shirts.) If you screw up a modem, you'll have to replace it. This makes for a very pissed customer -- esp. if they owned the modem. Angry customers are very vocal customers.DOCSIS 1.1 introduced a number of security processes for firmware updates. The process is specifically engineered to only come from the network, so no manufacturer even has a channel to get a new firmware to end users.Given that, it follows that the firmware on any given modem will either be a "GA" release loaded from the factory, or an ISP specific firmware they loaded on it. The operator has to authenticate every modem on the network. So they (should, can, etc.) know the manufacturer, model, serial number, and firmware version of every device out there. Proper testing means having one of everything in your testlab. How the 6120 bug didn't happen in their lab leaves me bald. This wasn't some random Chinese modem; it was a very popular, and approved, modem they themselves used, and they were coming from the factory with the old/buggy firmware. It makes no sense that they wouldn't have *one* 6120 with that firmware on it in the lab. Or that they wouldn't've retrieved one from the field as soon as this started to put it in the lab to see *why* it's failing. (I'm also assuming motorola didn't have it striped down so far it wouldn't log why it was rebooting. "invalid field" doesn't help much if it doesn't say which field; that doesn't mean you cannot find it, just that the engineers will have to earn their massive paycheck to find it.)I've been there and worked through many a panic. The test lab cannot simulate an entire universe. Bugs are going to be missed; this is a fact. The 6120 issue should've been seen in the lab, but it wasn't. (we'll come back to that when we're looking for someone to fire.) This is why it's suicide to do any rapid, large scale roll out. When an issue surfaces -- and it will -- you now face a network-wide problem instead of localized problem. Rolling back an entire network is, well, more of mess than the upgrade. "Staged Upgrades", say it with me class. Given the size of TWC (Comcast, etc.) network, they should never be finished with an upgrade -- they should never have the same version on every system... there should be several versions rolling across the network like ripples in pond. </rant>[Edit: I've worked for and with several ISPs over the decades, but TWC isn't one of them. I have no idea what they test, or how -- and it's never come up in conversation with the people I know there. There are pictures of someone's test lab over in the bbphotos forum.]
What really annoyed me is that, according to the status Web page from the modem, it was coming online enough that, if they so chose, I think they could specify firmware to download (TFTP of parameters, IIRC), but it was outside their SOPs. So I was forced to negotiate with the vendor (Best Buy in this case) to swap it.They also ran into an issue where the modem would "upgrade" itself every night, and therefore reboot...for weeks. I basically didn't care because very close to 100% of the time it happened while I was asleep, so I didn't notice it at all until I looked at the log page for a reason why my DSLR monitor showed unreachability .--English is a difficult enough language to interpret correctly when its rules are followed, let alone when a writer chooses not to follow those rules.Jeopardy! replies and randomcaps REALLY suck!

Welcome to Team Chloe JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes fundraising page!
December 17, 2012 started like any other day, until our Chloe was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. From this day forward our famliy and friends lives changed, but more importantly Chloe's life changed forever. She was a 5 year old facing a lifetime livign with diabetes, monitoring everything she eats, giving herself insulin injections and checking her blood sugar. Sitting in the hospital we were terrified of how to now care for our baby girls new needs, but we knew that no matter what we would give her the best care possible. With the support of our family, friends and care takers Chloe is now a thriving 6 year old who loves school and playing soccer.
We will be taking part in this year's Walk to raise funds for the millions of people like Chloe living with and affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D). The money we raise will help JDRF fund critical research to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people's lives until no one has to fear developing the disease.
Type 1 diabetes is a life-threatening autoimmune disease in which a person's pancreas stops producing insulin - a hormone essential to the ability to get energy from food. It strikes both children and adults suddenly and changes life as they know it forever. It cannot be prevented and there is no cure.
JDRF is the largest nongovernmental funder of T1D research and the only global organization with a strategic research plan to fight T1D. This science is complex and costly, and every dollar JDRF is able to direct toward research comes from donors like you.
Please support our team and donate to our Walk fundraising campaign. Your gift will make a difference for millions of people affected by this devastating, life-threatening disease. Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as possible today?
Thank you for your support!

These two women have more in common that it might at first seem. Both are New Yorkers (Streisand was born in Brooklyn; Gaga in Yonkers). Both became very big stars at a very young age. Both made it on audaciousness and talent more than on conventional beauty.
Gaga's strongest competition is the annual Kennedy Center Honors, which has won in this category six times, including the last two years in a row. The current installment saluted Paul McCartney, Oprah Winfrey, country legend Merle Haggard, Broadway composer Jerry Herman and choreographer Bill T. Jones. Bette Midler, who won this award in 1978 with Ol' Red Hair Is Back, is back in the running with her HBO special Bette Midler: The Showgirl Must Go On. Two other HBO specials round out the category: Carrie Fisher In Wishful Drinking and The Pee Wee Herman Show On Broadway. Specials starring some of the biggest music icons of all time have won in this category over the years. In addition to Streisand, the roster includes Fred Astaire, Leonard Bernstein, Frank Sinatra, Liza Minnelli, John Denver, Barry Manilow, Bette Midler, Cher and Tony Bennett.I like the fact that a broad range of music has been honored, from Broadway to Motown; from classical to the rock-dominated America: A Tribute To Heroes special. Three composers have been saluted: Burt Bacharach, George & Ira Gershwin and Irving Berlin (twice).
Here's a recap of every music special to win for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special. (The name of the category changed numerous times until the academy settled on the present wording in 1978.) Let's fire up the time-travel machine and go back to 1959, the first year the award was presented.
1959: An Evening With Fred Astaire (NBC). The movie musical legend starred in this show, which aired on Oct. 17, 1958. The special won nine Emmys, including Most Outstanding Single Program Of The Year and Best Single Performance by an Actor.1961: Astaire Time (NBC). Fred Astaire scored again with this special, which aired on Sept. 28, 1960. In addition to winning for Outstanding Program Achievement in the Field of Variety, it was nominated for The Program of the Year. Astaire won for Outstanding Performance in a Variety or Musical Program or Series.
1962: Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic In Japan (CBS). The series Leonard Bernstein And The New York Philharmonic had won for Outstanding Program Achievement in the Field of Music the two previous years, but this time the award was for a single episode. It aired on Feb. 6, 1962. 1963: Julie And Carol At Carnegie Hall (CBS). Julie Andrews and Carol Burnett headlined this hour, which aired on June 11, 1962. Andrews had achieved Broadway stardom with My Fair Lady and Camelot. Burnett was a rising TV star. (She won an Emmy for this show for Outstanding Performance in a Variety or Musical Program; Andrews wasn't nominated). A soundtrack album reached #85 on The Billboard 200. 1965: My Name Is Barbra (CBS). Barbra Streisand took a break from appearing on Broadway in Funny Girl to tape her first TV special, which aired on April 28, 1965.

"We engaged IBM and SAP because we were impressed by their strong partnership and proven hardware and software offerings. We were confident that their combined effort would help us to build a powerful ERP solution." - Jignesh Parekh, Sr. Manager of IT, Ratnamani Metals and Tubes

Business need:
At periods of high growth, Indian manufacturer of stainless and carbon steel pipes Ratnamani Metals and Tubes required a robust ERP system to meet its expansion objectives.
Ratnamani worked with IBM and SAP to implement a centralized SAP ERP solution supported by a resilient IBM hardware platform. The company's SAP applications are installed on two IBM® Power Systems™ servers running the IBM AIX® operating system, with storage provided by an IBM System Storage® DS5020.

Case Study
Founded in 1985, Ratnamani Metals and Tubes is one of the leading manufacturers of stainless steel and carbon steel pipes in India. With an annual turnover of around 10 billion Indian rupees ($20 million) and over 2,000 employees, the company's four factories design, fabricate and deliver each order according to the precise specifications of major public, private and joint-sector customers. Ratnamani caters to niche markets in almost all of India's emerging industries, including petrochemicals, energy generation and water distribution, and all of its products conform to the highest international standards.
The need for higher visibility
With its number of orders growing, Ratnamani's production processes were beginning to feel the strain. As Jignesh Parekh, Sr. Manager of IT at Ratnamani Metals and Tubes, explains: "Due to the nature of our manufacturing process, it's important for us to have a clear picture of the raw materials in our inventory, as different products require different sizes and grades of metal."
In the past, Ratnamani used a legacy ERP solution to handle its financial and materials management, but, as its business started to grow, it quickly became clear that a more capable solution was required.
"The main problem with our legacy ERP system was that each function had its own separate system," says Jignesh Parekh. "Because of that, there was no simple way to reconcile our financial, materials, and production data."
Building a centralized solution
The company invited a number of the largest IT solution vendors in India to give presentations. After considering the offerings of multiple vendors, Ratnamani selected IBM because of its reputation as the largest, most experienced provider, and for its well-established strategic partnership with SAP.
"We engaged IBM and SAP because we were impressed by their strong partnership and proven hardware and software offerings," comments Jignesh Parekh. "We were confident that their combined effort would help us to build a powerful ERP solution."
An IBM Global Business Services® team comprising 22 consultants worked with 44 Ratnamani employees to develop and implement SAP ERP on an IBM server platform. With a clearly defined mandate, the IBM Global Business Services team evaluated the company's existing IT environment to determine which components would be required for the upgrade. Based on this, the team created a blueprint for the implementation and a long-term plan for training and application management services when the solution went live.
"The IBM Global Business Services team was instrumental in defining the framework, scope and methodology of the upgrade project," says Jignesh Parekh. "From the outset, they were genuinely interested in discovering how we operated as a business, and what our future business goals were. After we helped them to map out our production, procurement and accounting processes, they came back with a roadmap that guided us from the design of the solution to implementation and training."
Based on the business blueprint drawn up in the project preparation phase, the IBM team created twin SAP production servers on two IBM Power Systems servers running the IBM AIX operating system, with an IBM System Storage TS3200 Tape Library Express handling the backup of critical data. On the production servers, the team implemented and installed SAP ERP with Sales and Distribution, Materials Management, Production Planning, Quality Management, Financial Accounting, Controlling and Plant Maintenance applications.
"We chose IBM Power Systems servers for their compelling price point and reputation for high reliability," says Jignesh Parekh. "Our IT systems are vital to the smooth running of our manufacturing process, so selecting hardware with excellent availability and serviceability was of prime importance."
To support Ratnamani's development, test and web server environments, the team installed one IBM BladeCenter® H Chassis containing seven HS22 blades, one JS23 blade and one JS12 blade, all connected to an IBM System Storage DS5020. Predictive failure analysis built into the IBM BladeCenter H Chassis enables Ratnamani to avoid the business costs associated with unplanned downtime.
"The implementation went extremely smoothly despite the complexity of the project," says Jignesh Parekh. "Thanks to thorough planning and expert execution by the IBM Global Business Services team, everyone involved in the project had a clear understanding of their role and responsibilities. Following the two-month testing and calibration period after the initial installation was completed, we've not experienced any significant issues with our either our SAP system or IBM hardware."
Increasing efficiency with IBM and SAP
The integrated SAP applications offer Ratnamani complete visibility of its entire workflow process. For example, as soon as raw materials enter the factory gates, a record is immediately entered into SAP inventory management software. When a new order is created, SAP software compares the bill of materials with the amount currently in stock. If there are insufficient resources available to complete the order, the company is able to raise a procurement order for more via SAP material management software, and provide an estimate for delivery of the finished product accordingly.
By using its improved inventory control and visibility of the manufacturing process, Ratnamani has increased its business efficiency.
"Today, we have all of our processes under tight control – from the factory gates to the factory floor, everything is managed digitally," says Jignesh Parekh.
Looking to the future
Having seen the positive impact that managing information on one platform has had on its business, Ratnamani is planning to augment its business analytics capability with business intelligence. By running 'what if' scenarios on data collected from its SAP applications, the company hopes to gain the ability to uncover trends in customer orders, and use these insights to order raw materials in anticipation of future demand, further increasing production efficiency.
"By working with IBM and SAP, we've successfully increased the visibility of our business," concludes Jignesh Parekh. "Going forward, we hope to build on this achievement with a business analytics and reporting solution that will help us gain even greater control."

Oklahoma junior LB Tom Wort to declare for NFL Draft
Oklahoma has confirmed that redshirt junior linebacker Tom Wort will declare for the 2013 NFL Draft as first reported by Jake Trotter of ESPN's Sooner Nation.
Oklahoma's most experienced returning linebacker was perhaps the Sooners player most affected by the departure of defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Brent Venables to Clemson prior to the 2012 season. He reportedly clashed with new linebackers coach Tim Kish after his role changed from chasing down ball-carriers to occupying blockers in new defensive coordinator Mike Stoops' scheme.
Wort started 33 of 37 games in his three seasons with the Sooners, but his 52 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and two sacks in 2012 were career lows.
Wort was outspoken in late September when he said the Sooners were not physical enough in practices leading up to their 24-19 home loss to Kansas State.
"We definitely need to be more physical in practice," Wort said. "That's one of the differences I've seen this year. We need to be more physical against the scouts.
"We're kinda being nice to those guys. That's something that hasn't been that way since I've been here. I don't know why it's changed."
Wort reportedly considered transferring to another school, but opted for the draft.
Juniors have until Jan. 15 to retain their NCAA eligibility if they have not hired an agent.
"We wish Tom the very best as he concludes his time at the University of Oklahoma," Stoops said in a statement. "Tom has earned his degree and has informed me that he plans to declare for the NFL Draft."
I have confirmed through a source that OU LB Tom Wort will in fact declare for the NFL Draft—

Wort looked at transferring to another school, but in the end that process did not work out—

Obama on Single Payer Health Insurance
Obama announces to an AFL-CIO meeting in 2003 that he is a proponent of a single payer, universal health insurance plan.

Scott Bradley's talk about why we should oppose an Article V convention to propose a Balanced Budget Amendment was delivered at a Council Dinner of The John Birch Society in Ohio on May 4, 2013.
For more information about The John Birch Society's "Choose Freedom -- STOP A CON-CON" action project, go to http://www.jbs.org/issues-pages/no-con-con.
(Media / Article V: Reality vs. Myth)The John Birch Society has opposed calls for a modern-day constitutional convention (con-con) for decades and seeks to work through Congress for Constitutional amendments rather than through a convention.
Many view a con-con as a quick way to pass amendments they think will stop the big-government juggernaut. Why would politicians suddenly start following an amended Constitution after ignoring and violating the current Constitution for so long?
The remedy so desperately needed to return our country to good government is to enforce the Constitution, not amend it. For more information about the dangers of calling an Article V convention, visit The John Birch Society's action project -- Choose Freedom: STOP A Con-Con.

Aluminum mini-blinds are a good choice for a basement hobby roomNov 29 2010 A family crafts center can be located in a spacious basement. According to HandyDirectory.com, one of the benefits of installing a crafts center or a layout for a train in the basement is the amount of space available. Shelving can be installed for storing supplies and tools, and a work area can be spread out. Since basement windows are often smaller than windows at street level, a window treatment should be chosen to maximize the natural light available during the day and to provide privacy at night. Aluminum mini blinds are easy to use, affordable and can match any color scheme. They also are easy to clean and look attractive with or without overlying curtains. Once the practical needs of the hobby room are met, comfortable seating should be available for both the hobbyist and visitors. Accessorizing can revolve around the hobby. "Think of your hobby as the theme. Want to hang paintings on the walls? Choose pictures that represent your hobby," the website advises. "You can also display items you've completed in interesting ways and take pictures if you go to conventions or competitions to put in frames and hang in your hobby room." Related Products

The BBC and The Guardian are the most dominant UK news outlets in terms of the number of shares on Twitter, according to new data from PeerIndex.
UK Twitter users shared just over 4.2m articles from BBC News in January 2014, which apparently resulted in more than 100bn potential impressions of BBC content to Twitter users globally.
In comparison, content from The Guardian was shared 2.4m times via Twitter while The Telegraph came in third with 913,000 shares.
The research also shows the negative impact that paywalls have on social sharing, as The New York Times is the only paid-for online publications to make the top 10. For more on The NYT's business model, read our report on its recent native advertising trial.

The Guardian, seeking to appeal to a more international audience, recently changed its domain name from guardian.co.uk to theguardian.com.
It seems that the newspaper's traffic has dipped as a result of the migration, with some tools showing a drop in key metrics which affect its rankings.
We have first hand experience of this issue at Econsultancy, as we migrated our domain back in 2009, with a drop in referral traffic from Google being the consequence.
So, has The Guardian handled this migration correctly, or is there more that Google should have done to help such a massive site with the change?

The EU e-Privacy Directive was introduced last year as a way of forcing websites to be more open about the type of cookies they used to track visitors.
Initially there was quite a lot of apprehension as site owners were concerned that they'd be forced to add intrusive pop-ups and force visitors to opt-in before they could begin using the site.
Thankfully the Information Commissioners Office (ICIO) took a lenient approach to enforcement and allowed sites to use an 'implied consent' measure, which means that they can get away with simply making their cookie policy more prominent rather than explicitly asking for users to accept cookies.
Even brands that do explicitly inform users that the site uses cookies generally don't give an option to opt-out, but instead direct people to change the settings in their browser.

Instagram became a worldwide cultural phenomenon, mainly by being first to market with a cool idea: a photo sharing app with built in filters and a social platform for sharing.
Now its days may be numbered as the Facebook acquisition and new terms of service make it extremely uncool to the digitally hip.
We used a Twtpoll to ask how many of you will bail on the service after the changes go into effect Saturday. It was a very limited sample size, but the results are still interesting.

With publishers serving more and more of their audience through mobile and tablet devices, it's no surprise that responsive designs are growing in popularity.
From the BBC and Guardian to Metro and Express & Star, the number of publishers jumping on the responsive design bandwagon is growing rapidly and for good reason: there's a lot to like about responsive design and done right, it's pretty compelling.

Last week the Guardian released several new upgrades for its already excellent Android app.
The Guardian said that the focus has been on bringing the app up to the higher standards that you find in modern Android app and to offer users a "better, more consistent user experience."
I already use The Guardian's app on a daily basis and find it a joy to use. In contrast, I also use Sky Sports News' app every day but find the user experience to be quite poor.
As such, I thought I'd take a look at the new updates to The Guardian's app and compare it to the UX of the Sky Sports News offering.

The release of companies topping the Fortune 500 list proved a bright spot in today's still shaky global economy, but John Sviokla, a principal and US business leader for strategy and innovation at PricewaterhouseCoopers, believes there's much good still to anticipate.
He spoke last week at Guardian's Activate Summit in New York. The summit attracted professionals in the publishing industry and featured such heavy hitters as media giant Arianna Huffington and Jonah Peretti, co-founder of BuzzFeed, perhaps the first true social news organization.

A couple of months ago, Tanya Cordrey, the director of digital development for the Guardian, made a statement that raised some eyebrows. "It's only a matter of time until social overtakes search for the Guardian," she told attendees at the Guardian Changing Media Submit.
The impetus for that comment was the Guardian's Facebook app, which enables Facebook users to share the articles they read on guardian.co.uk with their Facebook friends.

In Tuesday's three-way race primary race for the two slots on the November ballot, Democrat Carol Liu and Republican Gil Gonzales were the overwhelming winners.
Tuesday night's unofficial vote, with 96 percent of precincts reporting, showed Liu with 53.4 percent of the vote and Gonzales with just over 41.4 percent of the vote. Upland resident and Democrat, Ameenah Fuller, came in third with just over 5 percent of the vote.
Liu, the incumbent State Sen in the existing 21st District, which includes Altadena, was running in a very new looking district, with Pasadena-area cities combined with foothill cities in East Los Angeles County.
Liu, a La Canada Flintridge resident, has served one term in State Senate and previously served in the California Assembly.
Gonzales, 35, a first-time candidate, lives in Pasadena. He graduated from Pitzer College and is currently the Director of Public Affairs and Government Relations for Vons/Safeway.
Gonzales told Patch early Wednesday morning that he felt his tally was a "very good showing," particularly in a district with more registered Democrats. He said he believes he can win over non-Republican voters in November.
"I believe that what it comes down to is that everyone, whether Democrat or Republican, is looking for solutions," Gonzales said.
Liu could not be reached for comment Tuesday evening.
