Dr. Andrew J. Kaufman, an expert in advanced minimally invasive thoracic surgery and thoracic surgical oncology, is the Director of The Thoracic Surgery Airway Program and The Asian Thoracic Surgery Program at Mount Sinai, as well as the Associate Program Director for the Thoracic Surgery Residency Program. He attended New York University School of Medicine for medical school and general surgery training. He completed a two year research fellowship at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and was awarded a national TSFRE Research Fellowship Grant and the Chairman's Award for Excellence in Basic Science Research.
Dr. Kaufman went on to complete his residency in cardiothoracic surgery, specializing in thoracic surgery, at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center/New York Hospital Weill-Cornell Medical Center as the Memorial Fellow in General Thoracic Surgery where he received the Alumni Foundation Award for All-Around Clinical Excellence. He is certified by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Thoracic Surgery.
Dr. Kaufman especially enjoys spending time with and getting to know the people he meets in the office and hospital. He is dedicated to the compassionate care of people and their families across all social, economic, and cultural backgrounds. Having lived and studied in China for two years, Dr. Kaufman is fluent in Mandarin and conversational in Cantonese. His background in Asian language and culture inspired the development of the Asian Thoracic Surgery Program at the Mount Sinai. The program focuses on providing the most advanced multidisciplinary care for the Asian community with the goal of integrating community outreach, patient education, and scientific research to provide comprehensive care in this important New York City population.
Dr. Kaufman is clinically focused on advanced minimally invasive and lung sparing surgery for thoracic malignancies. These specialized cancer operations conserve lung tissue and preserve respiratory function with faster recovery times. Andrew has published and presented widely on his lung sparing techniques of Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) segmentectomy for early lung cancers as well as pleurectomy and decortication for malignant pleural mesothelioma. His research interests are focused on combining clinical, pathologic, and genetic data to better understand lung cancer in smokers and non-smokers.
Dr. Kaufman works closely with the Interventional Pulmonary Division to locate and mark small early cancers with Navigational Bronchoscopy in order to facilitate VATS lung sparing segmentectomy. This collaboration is also essential to The Thoracic Surgery Airway Program, which focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant diseases of the trachea and airways, such as tracheobronchomalacia and tracheal stenosis, utilizing both surgical and interventional techniques.
In his spare time, Dr. Kaufman enjoys spending time with his wife and two terrific daughters. He is an avid cook, guitarist, and tennis player.
Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.
Dr. Kaufman did not report having any of the following types of financial relationships with industry during 2013 and/or 2014: consulting, scientific advisory board, industry-sponsored lectures, service on Board of Directors, participation on industry-sponsored committees, equity ownership valued at greater than 5% of a publicly traded company or any value in a privately held company. Please note that this information may differ from information posted on corporate sites due to timing or classification differences.

Massachusetts Congressman Stephen Lynch said he is definitely considering running for John Kerry's senate seat.
Lynch was on the Joe Ligotti Show on WTKK Radio Saturday afternoon and said he would be honored to be a Senator.
Kerry has been nominated by President Barack Obama to replace Hillary Clinton as secretary of state and is expected to be confirmed.
Gov. Deval Patrick is expected to appoint an interim Senator until a special election can be held. The Boston Herald is reporting Barney Frank is the leading candidate for the interim position. Frank didn't seek reelection to Congress after redistricting was finalized. Instead, he announced his retirement.
Patrick has said he isn't interested in the position. Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, who lost to US Senator Scott Brown in 2010, told the Associated Press Saturday she also is not interested.
Other names mentioned for possible senator candidates, according to reports, are Ted Kennedy Jr. – the son of former United States Senator Edward M. Kennedy, actor Ben Affleck, Democratic House members Michael Capuano, Edward Markey, and Niki Tsongas.
The Republican Party is said to be urging Scott Brown to run for Kerry's seat. Brown lost in the November election to Elizabeth Warren.

MRI Before Treatment Doesn't Improve Care or Prognosis
Routinely doing MRI after diagnosis and before surgery may lead to more mastectomy recommendations vs. lumpectomy recommendations with no improvement in care or outcome.
Removing Opposite, Healthy Breast Reduces Risk of New Cancer
Contralateral prophylactic mastectomy -- removing the opposite healthy breast -- reduced the risk of developing a new breast cancer in the other breast and also reduced the risk of dying from breast cancer by about 30% for young women diagnosed with early-stage, hormone-receptor-negative breast cancer.
Zometa Helps Keep Bones Strong During Hormonal Therapy
Zometa helps keep bones strong in pre-menopausal women getting hormonal therapy to treat hormone-receptor-positive, early-stage breast cancer.
Breast Cancer May Come Back Even Many Years After Treatment
A new study shows that breast cancers that are hormone-receptor-positive and later-stage are more likely to come back later than 5 years after diagnosis and treatment compared to cancers that are hormone-receptor-negative and early-stage.
Many Women Don't Understand Treatment Risks and Benefits
Research suggests that many women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer don't understand the differences in risks and benefits between mastectomy and lumpectomy and radiation therapy.
Women Whose Breasts Look Different From Each Other After Lumpectomy More Likely to Feel Bad
Women whose breasts look significantly different from each other after lumpectomy are more likely to be depressed and feel ashamed of their bodies.
Breast Cancer Detected by MRI More Likely to Be Treated With Mastectomy
When breast cancer is diagnosed by MRI, women are more likely to have a mastectomy than a lumpectomy followed by radiation therapy.
Minority Women Less Likely to Understand Comparisons Between Mastectomy, Lumpectomy
A new study suggests that about half of the women having surgery for early-stage breast cancer don't understand how mastectomy compares to lumpectomy and radiation therapy in terms of reducing the risk of the cancer coming back.
Older Women, Minorities Less Likely to Get Sentinel Node Biopsy
Whether or not a woman has sentinal lymph node biopsy seems to be largely influenced by her age, ethnicity, and insurance status, and not by the relevant disease factors, new research shows.
Measuring Levels of Specific Protein Doesn't Help Decide Who Benefits From Chemotherapy
Measuring the Ki-67 protein in breast cancers doesn't help decide who would benefit from chemotherapy in women diagnosed with hormone-receptor-positive, node-negative disease.

Hand hygiene and good infection control practices in nursing homes and other care settings can go a long way in helping contain germs and disease. Deborah Leader, RN, About.com Guide for COPD offers some great tips.
- Practice good hand hygiene which includes hand washing with soap and water and using an alcohol based hand-sanitizer in between washings.
- Avoid close contact with sick people by staying away from congested crowds or from anyone who is sick.
- Cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze with a tissue. Throw the tissue away promptly and then wash or sanitize your hands.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth as germs are easily transmitted through mucus membranes.
- Stay home from work if you get sick. This helps to keep the virus from spreading to others.
Teach Your Staff Proper Hand Washing
- Wet your hands using warm, running water. Add soap.
- During the hand washing process, rub your hands vigorously for a minimum of 20 seconds, paying special attention to the backs of your hands, wrists, in between your fingers and underneath your fingernails.
- Rinse well while leaving the water running.
- With the water continuing to run, use a single-use towel and pat your hands dry.
- Turn off the water faucet using the paper towel covering your clean hands to prevent recontamination.
Have Fun with Hygiene
Make hygiene and infection control fun and it will reinforce the messages you want to convey and help staff to develop lasting habits. One hospital in N.C. has won awards for its hand hygiene program. Novant Health feels so strongly about hand hygiene and improving the quality and safety of patient care, it makes its resources available free of charge to other organizations. Find easily downloadable marketing materials at their site.
And as they correctly state - "Keep in mind that results can be achieved only by changing the culture of your organization and making people accountable for their behavior. It starts at the top and requires everyone's support

Sumukh Torgalkar was born in Cleveland, Ohio to two Indian people. It's a simple statement but covers the adventure that is Torgalkar's comedy. Focusing in on such varied topics as his Midwest upbringing, his Hindu faith, and family stories, Torgalkar weaves his personal experiences and observations via his dry but engaging sense of humor.
Torgalkar began performing stand-up comedy in Columbus, Ohio and won a number of comedy contests across the state within his first year with a one-liner style of comedy. Over the years, he developed his stage persona into that of a storyteller sharing humorous and absurd tales from his life. He has been a stalwart member of the Columbus comedy scene and tours the Midwest.
Along with doing stand-up comedy, Torgalkar has created a number of characters that led into two successful one-man shows in Columbus.
Torgalkar also works as a freelance comedy writer and has contributed to "MAD" magazine. He regularly contributes blog posts and video sketches as part of "The Sumukh and Golak Attack" website.
In 2012, Torgalkar had a successful year that included opening for Reggie Watts and Russell Peters.
In his free time, Torgalkar loves pop culture, sports, and apathy, which is very apparent in both his writing and performing of comedy.
At some point, Torgalkar will die.
Sumukh Torgalkar is growing up too fast. Kids these days!
Sumukh Torgalkar has an interesting new nickname.
Sumukh Torgalker makes road signs and will also murder you with his car. I do not want to die at the wheels of a Camry.

Federal transportation officials are investigating what caused an engine problem on a Delta Air Lines jet shortly after it took off from Atlanta this week.
The National Transportation Safety Board said in a preliminary report that the Boeing MD-88 had a loss of power in its left engine shortly after take-off from Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on Tuesday.
Authorities said the pilots shut down the engine and the airplane returned to Atlanta instead of continuing on to its scheduled destination of Miami.
The NTSB report states that an examination of the jet revealed that a portion of the lower engine cowl was missing, and there was a hole in the fan duct.

Debby Ryan attended the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscars party on Sunday evening working a red-hot lip. I was mesmerized by her lip colour when I met her.
The actress wore a sexy Lisa Ho Spring 2013 pale-blue bustier gown with a haltered neckline.
Her soft gown with a sexy vibe was styled with a youthful two-tone clutch. It wouldn't have been my personal choice, but it shows she likes to have fun with fashion.
The actress has had many hair-colour changes in recent times, but she told me that she will be settling with this gorgeous red hue.

Natural Philosophers
The Natural Philosophers is a group of physics alumni and other science enthusiasts interested in all the sciences. Started in 1979 by Professor Jim Prentice and Dr David Harrison, it was created in response to many requests from students who had taken their courses at The School of Continuing Studies. Interested in more more exposure to the ideas which had been presented in class, they asked for the creation of a forum for continued discussion on the topics. The group has flourished since its inception, continuing on strong with the support of Professor Lynn Trainor after Jim Prentice retired and relocated in the mid-nineties.
The group meets once a month for discussion on a current topic in science. In addition to the discussion, when possible a guest speaker will present on the topic to help inform the discussion. As we have continued to expand we have been privileged to hear presentations from many excellent speakers who have facilitated dynamic discussions steaming from the provocative questions our members bring to the table.
All those who are interested are welcome to attend the meetings and perhaps become members!

text: We are all entertained and often very amused by the trade proposals offered on this site. What I want to do is, rather then offer specific trades, is to consider what teams make potentially interesting trade partners for the Celts. Most people here seem to believe that there are 3 types of teams who could be potential partners: 1) CONTENDERS in need of late year replacements for injuries or to fill particular needs for a title run. 2) BUBBLE PLAYOFF CONTENDERS who simply want to make the playoffs after long years outside (think Washington and Charlotte) 3) BAD TEAMS WANTING TO SHED SALARY. iN EXCHANGE, the Celts have (a) expiring contracts, (b) a bunch of overpaid, underperforming backup players like Wallace, Bass, and Lee, and (c) a handful of players who probably would be attractive to many teams -- Rondo, Green, Sullinger and Bradley. So who are your partners? CONTENDERS. Most of these teams are in luxury tax hell and have limited ability to trade. This limited flexibility also includes teams like OKC, Indiana and Memphis who refuse to go above the tax. They are all on the edge. Indiana faces tough decisions on who to let go and how to keep Stephenson to stay under tax. Miami has no leeway and will not make a disruptive trade while trying for the trifecta. Chicago is on verge of becoming a tax repeater and will have to amnesty Boozer or let Deng walk at end of season to get under the tax. No room there -- they cannot take on money. Celts can't trade with Clips and SAS has no incentive to make significant trades. If they are in critical need they are more likely to seek someone at the veteran minimum. Golden State has room under the cap but there are no glaring needs. They have some nice pieces but I cannot see the fit with any Celtic players, including Rondo or Green. Portland the same. Everyone wants Aldridge but for whom on the Celts? Portland is on the rise, why would they break it up? And beyond their starters, there is noone I would want. Celts ccannot upgrade their starters. The Nets and Knicks are clearly in need but they are not contenders. I also don't see anything there that the Celts would want. That leaves Houston and Atlanta. Both have room under the tax and both have needs. But can the Celts fill those needs? These teams are far from desperate. Many teams would like Asik and Celts fans want to give the Bass or some other rabble. Ain't going to happen. Like the way Atlanta is constructed -- high performance at low cost. They have no reason to pay high dollar for low performance. They could use Green but what would they give? BUBBLE PLAYOFF CONTENDERS. Here lies the best options. Washington is at the tax level but have many expiring contracts. What would the Wizards take for some combination of Ariza, Vesely, Seraphin and Singleton? Is this a place to dump such players as Bass and Lee? Dallas is loaded with expiring. Are they interested in trading or keeping cap space? Then there is the Lakers. I can see no potential there. But Detroit? My favorite as a partner. They have big needs, especially on defense. They have expiring and good young pieces. Apart from Rondo who would they take? Toronto I am sure is ready to trade but would the Celts take Gay, Derozan or Lowry? Not me. They are cap space killers and modest performers. I doubt Valanciunus is available. Hard to see a trade with Charlotte unless they will offer the expiring of Gordon and Sessions for some of the Celts cannon fodder. New Orleans might be interesting but they need a center and Asik looks made for them -- and the Celts have nothing to offer.. They could use Green as well but for what in return? BAD TEAMS. There is so little promising here. Many teams want Utah's Hayward but what could the Celts offer that Utah wants except lots of draft picks. Milwaukee is a lost cause. Philly and Phoenix also are in the we want picks catgory and have little to trade. BOTTOM LINE. I conclude from all this that there relatively few teams that offer any interesting potential for Celts trades. The leading possibilities are: Houston, Atlanta, Washington, Detroit, Toronto, and Charlotte, and those teams are not that promising. Washington and Detroit are my leading candidates.

That first image is one of the nicer "bokeh" shots I have seen with the lens. I like the shot quite a bit (perhaps raise the exposure a bit on the model's face). Perhaps lenses in that focal length are less capable of producing a "melting away" bokeh. I have seen some shots with the 35L that did, however. Keep posting them. You are getting some nice results.

What causes constipation? 39 possible conditions
Viewing 1 - 20 of 39 results
What Is Constipation?
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, constipation is one of the most common digestive problems in the U.S, with more than four million Americans every year complaining of frequent constipation. (NIDDKD, 2012) Frequent constipation is commonly defined as having bowel movements fewer than three times a week and with hard, dry stools.
What Causes Constipation?
Your colon's job is to absorb water and salt from food as it's passing through your digestive system. It then creates stool (waste). The colon's muscles eventually propel the waste out through the rectum to be eliminated. If stools remain in the colon too long, they can become hard and difficult to pass.
Poor diet frequently causes constipation, since dietary fiber and adequate water intake are necessary to help keep stools soft. Fiber-rich foods are plant foods that your body is not able to digest. Fiber comes in two forms: soluble and insoluble. The soluble fiber can dissolve in water, and it creates a soft, gel-like material as it passes through the digestive system. Insoluble fiber retains most of its structure as it goes through the digestive system.
Fiber is very helpful in easing constipation, as both forms of the fiber join with the dry, hard stools—increasing their weight and size while also softening the stools, making it easier for them to pass through the rectum.
Changes in routine, stress, and other conditions that slow muscle contractions of the colon or delay your urge to "go" may also lead to constipation.
Common Constipation Causes
- low-fiber diet (particularly diets high in meat, milk, or cheese)
- dehydration
- lack of exercise
- delaying the impulse to have a bowel movement
- travel or other changes in routine
- certain medications, such as antacids and pain medications
- pregnancy
Underlying Medical Problems That Can Cause Constipation
- certain diseases, such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and lupus
- problems with the colon or rectum, including intestinal obstruction, irritable bowel syndrome, or diverticulosis
- overuse or misuse of laxatives (medications to loosen stools)
- hormonal problems, including an underactive thyroid gland
- anal fissures (tears) or hemorrhoids
What Are the Symptoms of Constipation?
Every person's definition of "normal" bowel movements may be different. Some individuals go three times a day, while others go three times a week. However, you may be constipated if you experience the following symptoms:
- fewer than three bowel movements a week
- passing hard, dry stools
- straining or pain during bowel movements
- a feeling of fullness, even after having a bowel movement
- experiencing a rectal blockage
Who Is At Risk for Constipation?
Eating a poor diet and not exercising are major risk factors for constipation. However, you may be at greater risk if you are:
- 65 or older: Older adults tend to be less physically active, may have underlying diseases, and may eat poorer diets that lead to constipation.
- confined to bed: Those who have certain medical conditions, such as spinal cord injuries, often have difficulty with bowel movements.
- a woman or a child: Women have more frequent episodes of constipation than men, and children are more often affected than adults.
- pregnant: Hormonal changes and pressure on your intestines from your growing baby can lead to constipation.
How Is Constipation Diagnosed?
Many people affected by constipation choose to self-treat by changing their diets, increasing their exercise, or using over-the-counter laxatives. However, laxatives should not be used for more than two weeks without consulting a physician because your body can become dependent on them for colon function.
You should talk to your general or family practitioner if:
- you have had constipation for more than three weeks
- you have blood in your stool
- you are experiencing pain during bowel movements
- you are losing weight
- you have sudden changes in your bowel movements
Your doctor will ask questions about your symptoms, medical history, and any medications or underlying medical conditions. A physical examination may include a rectal exam and blood tests to check your thyroid function.
In severe cases, additional tests may be required to identify the cause of your symptoms. These may include:
- An examination of how food is moving through your colon, called a marker study or colorectal transit study. For this test, you will swallow a pill that contains tiny markers that will show up on an X-ray. Numerous abdominal X-rays will be taken over the next few days so the doctor can visualize how the food is moving through your colon and how well the intestinal muscles are working. You may also be asked to eat a diet high in fiber during the test.
- An examination of the anal sphincter muscle function, called an anorectal manometry. For this test, your doctor will insert a thin tube with a balloon-tip into your anus. When the tube is inside, the doctor will then inflate the balloon and slowly pull it out. This test allows him or her to measure your anal sphincter's muscle strength and see if your muscles are contracting properly.
- An examination of the colon with a barium enema X-ray. For this test, you will drink a special liquid the night before the test to clean out the bowel. The actual test involves the insertion of a dye called barium into your rectum, using a lubricated tube. The barium highlights the rectum and colon area, allowing the doctor to better view them on an X-ray.
- An examination of the colon with a colonoscopy. In this test, your doctor will examine your colon using a tube that is outfitted with a camera (colonoscope). A sedative is often given, so you will feel no pain. To prepare for this test, you will be on a liquid-only diet for one to three days, and may have to take a laxative or enema the night before the test.
How to Treat and Prevent Constipation
Changing your diet and increasing your physical activity level are the easiest and fastest ways to treat and prevent constipation. Try the following techniques as well:
- Every day, drink 1.5 to 2 quarts of fluids, such as water or juice, to hydrate the body.
- Limit consumption of alcohol and caffeinated drinks, which cause dehydration.
- Add fiber-rich foods to your diet, such as raw fruits and vegetables, prunes, or bran cereal. Your daily intake of fiber should be between 20 and 35 grams.
- Cut down on low-fiber foods, such as meat, milk, cheese, and processed foods.
- Aim for about 150 minutes of moderate exercise every week (about 20 minutes a day), such as walking, swimming, or biking.
- If you feel the urge to have a bowel movement, don't delay. The longer you wait, the harder your stool will become.
- Add fiber supplements to your diet if needed. Just remember to drink plenty of fluids because you can aggravate constipation if you add extra fiber without also adding fluids to your diet.
- Use laxatives sparingly. Your doctor may prescribe laxatives or enemas for a short period of time to help soften your stools. Never use laxatives for more than two weeks without talking to your doctor because you can cause your body to become dependent on them for proper colon function.
Your doctor may also advise that you stop taking certain medications that may cause constipation. More severe colon or rectal problems may require manual procedures to clear the colon of impacted stool, therapy to retrain slow muscles, or surgery to remove the problem part of your colon.
What Is the Outlook for Constipation?
Most cases of constipation are mild and are easily treated with changes in diet and exercise. However, if you are experiencing chronic constipation, or constipation along with other changes in bowel movements, it is important that you talk to your doctor.

After sitting at least 3 years, I got old gas out of tank today but had to hot-wire the Cub 'cuz no juice thru switch to coil (minor problem, I imagine..). But the engine which had kind of low oil pressure when last run, registers no oil pressure now on gauge. And oil level is normal. No
pressure showing on gauge even after running a couple minutes at idle. No pressure showing when throttling up either. Took factory oil gauge out and no oil even comes out of block with engine started, and it should, shoudn't it?. Took out oil filter cartridge and it seems restricted but not completely.. Should I pull pan to see if oil pump is functional, or where should I go from here to see if actually have no pressure and what is causing it....Hope I don't have to rebuild the motor, at least until winter... But anything that can go wrong, will go wrong... Thanks,
Mike H

For a while, nothing was going on in the Wild Card contest between the Rangers and Orioles. A runner here, a runner there, the occasional double play, but nothing of note. This game needed some motivation! It needed to giddy up and git going!
There we go. And there the Orioles went, taking the lead in the sixth inning off Yu Darvish. J.J. Hardy led off the frame with a soft liner to right for a single, and Chris Davis hit a sharp grounder through the right side, sending Hardy to third. Adam Jones ripped a first-pitch slider to deep right field, and Hardy trotted home easily, putting the Orioles up 2-1.
Davis was stranded at first when Jim Thome struck out looking on a nasty, 64-m.p.h. Darvish curve to end the inning.
Meanwhile, Joe Saunders kept on keepin' on, and he was pulled with two outs and no one on in the bottom of the sixth. What was it that Jerry Dipoto said a couple years ago?
We achieved by maintaining major league quality with a 2008 All-Star in Joe Saunders and a guy who quite frankly has been one of the winners in Major League Baseball. I think he trails only Roy Halladay among major leaguers in total wins. He's won 63 percent of his games since coming to the major leagues, pitched in the postseason on two different occasions. He's a quality, durable, steady major league starter. We feel like this club needs that, and a guy with a good deal of playoff experience.
That's why he runs a team and you don't.

PEORIA, Ill -- Organizers have been planning this Sunday's inaugural River City Marathon for roughly two years. While safety measures were in place before, the recent bombings at the Boston Marathon have made officials re-examine their security efforts.
Jen Blackorby of Washington, ran the Boston marathon in April. She was just a few hundred feet away from the finish line when the blasts occurred. She says she is running in Peoria's marathon Sunday as a part of her healing process.
"I just want to have a happy ending. I want to finish and be happy about it, regardless of my time," said Blackorby.
She expects Sunday to be emotional, but she also believes it will be a safe event for all.
"I'm sure precautions will be taken to step up security and just have that peace about it," she said.
Lt. Steve Roegge with the Peoria Police Department says they have increased the number of officers along the route by about 20%. He also says they will have one of the largest unified command posts ever at the Gateway Building in downtown Peoria. He equates the security to that of a presidential visit.
"There will be supervisors from every aspect, everything from law enforcement, fire, public works and emergency service medical," said Lt. Roegge.
He says safety has been a top priority for this race since day one. However, just like the Race for the Cure, they decided to beef up security in light of the attacks in Boston, something that will become all too common.
Lt. Roegge said, "I think basically all special events, anytime we have a large number of people at any events, will have to be re-evaluated for the security portions of it. That may mean Steamboat will also be re-evaluating, fair we'll be re-evaluating."
Still, Blackorby encourages runners and spectators alike, to come Sunday and continue to enjoy life for those that had theirs taken away too soon in Boston.
She said, "I just feel like you can't sit around and be afraid, you really can't, that's how the terrorists really win."

Bookshop owner raises parking question at MP's signing (From East London and West Essex Guardian Series)

Iain Duncan Smith pressed on parking while signing copies of his book 'The Devil's Tune' at The Village Bookshop in Woodford Green
Updated 2:40pm Monday 11th February 2013 in News By Dominic Sutton, Senior reporter
A bookshop owner pressed his MP on parking restrictions while he was signing copies of his novel.
Tan Dhillon, who recently took over the Village Bookshop in High Road, Woodford Green, invited Iain Duncan Smith for a signing last Friday.
And while the MP was autographing copies of his thriller, 'The Devil's Tune', Mr Dhillon bent his ear on parking.
He said: "I had a chat with Mr Duncan Smith about giving people 30 minutes free parking along the High Road parade and around the corner from the bookshop.
"He agreed and will be pushing for this to happen as this will help all the traders."
Mr Dhillon says he also convinced the Chingford and Woodford Green MP to take away a book on Parkinson's disease.
He explained: "I had Terry Rummins, the author of 'So I've got Parkinson's' in.
"Mr Duncan Smith is sending her book to the Secretary of State for Health."
Mr Duncan Smith said: "I am in full support of the campaign to secure 30 minutes of free parking on the high road and I have written to Keith Prince (leader of Redbridge council) to express my view on this.
"The shops on this road are clearly suffering because it is very difficult for people to park around here.
"The ticket machine is also a long walk away if you park on High Elms on or one of those back roads."

Best Practices for Provisioning Databases for Test & Development - Oracle Applications
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
Organizations maintain on average 8 to 12 database copies per production application which are typically used for testing, development, training and QA. As production databases get larger, the traditional approach of generating non-production copies incurs significant costs. This paper from Applimation, now Informatica, provides information on best practices and new technologies in provisioning databases for test and development environments that enable significant cost savings and regulatory compliance. By following best practices, organizations save time and resources while streamlining database provisioning processes.

President Obama took the stage today to discuss the ongoing NSA scandal and call for broad reform and oversight of the NSA's phone data collection program exposed by the Edward Snowden leaks. During his address, we were again reminded of the fragile balance between national security and civil liberty that's played out in one form or another throughout the relatively short history of our country. While the current NSA revelations likely constitute the largest, most brazen incursion into the privacy of US citizens yet discovered, the justification behind many of the programs that Snowden exposed—justifications echoed yet again in Obama's speech today—are continuations of forces and motivations that began in the nascent days of the country and have changed very little throughout the years, despite explosive advances in communications technology.

Feb 06, 2010 GMTRecently there has been a discussion on the Linux Professional Institute (LPI) mailing list about why LPI does not publish its own training materials to help students prepare for their tests. I started to answer in the mailing list, but instead I decided to answer here.LPI, of course, is a non-profit organization that creates certification exams for Linux systems administrators. It is distribution neutral, and tries to be comprehensive in its tests.When we started LPI many years ago, there was a long discussion about whether LPI should create its own training materials.At that time "Linux" was a fledgling industry, and the number of Linux books, publications and (particularly)...

Jan 29, 2010 GMTFour or five years ago I learned of Inveneo, a company that was trying to bring low-cost and low-power usage computers to the developing world. They were some of the first to use Asterisk to set up a PBX for a village and (of course) the recognized the benefits of other Free Software in what they did. They also recognized the issues of reducing power consumption in computers so you reduce the number (and cost) of solar panels.I met the three co-founders, Kristian Peterson, Bob Marsh and Mark Summer at many different FOSS events, and I am proud to say that I once helped them get booth space for free at a Linuxworld event in San Francisco when they showed up and there was "no space...

While sometimes this leads to drugs and theft, in Marcelo's case this lead to computers and Free Software, to the point where he created his own company.Marcelo found...
Jan 26, 2010 GMTOnly three days after posting my blog regarding the plight of Google's Chinese customers and how their data is now at the whims of a US-based company and its conflict with the Chinese government, I read about the issues of SourceForge.net and the U.S. State Department's Export lists and how the data stored in a US-based company, sometimes created by non-U.S. based citizens, is now being controlled by U.S. State Department rules.In 1984 Digital Equipment Corporation was about to ship a commercial copy of Unix called "Ultrix".

Jan 23, 2010 GMTOne of the big stories this month has been the attempts of crackers to break into email accounts being held by Google and other companies.There have been a lot of accusations flying back and forth, with many people commenting on the security of web browsers and whether or not Google should pull out of China or continue to do the censoring required by the Chinese government. I am not going to discuss the political issues on both sides of the situation, I will leave that for other people.One point that I have not seen discussed is the concept of whether or not the "Cloud" is safe for a person's or company's data given a company could lose or give up its franchise to operate at any...

|No matter what your individual requirements are, NothinButSnow has a ski instructor course for you. Don't be put off by talk of becoming a ski instructor if that is not your wish though. Ski instructor courses offer a perfect way to improve your skiing ability whist living and experiencing life in a ski resort. All of our ski courses take place in British Columbia, Canada over 4, 6, 10 and 11
|weeks. A NothinButSnow ski instructor course is an ideal choice to take your first step into arguably the most exciting career on the planet. With the mountain becoming your office, the ability to enjoy fresh snow and sunny skies each day, endless fun and laughter, crazy apres-ski and unbreakable lifelong friendships. It's hard to not question "why on earth did I not do this sooner?"
Short & Long Canadian Ski Courses
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to uncover the main difference between the two, 7 weeks about does it. A "short" course or 4 week ski instructor course from NothinButSnow trains skiers to a level 1 standard, a season "long" or 11 week ski instructor course includes all that is present in our short course, but further trains skiers to a higher level 2 qualification.
The level 2 is a significant step up from level 1 so requires advanced training completed over a longer period of time. Obviously one major benefit of the season long ski course is its ability to accommodate you for an entire season, a worth while excuse to seasonaire it whilst honing your skiing skills.
Why Canada
It's one incredibly large winter playground when the snow starts falling and boy does it fall. Sometimes we wonder if someone up there forgot to flick the switch off. Theres the incredible vast scenery and wonderful mountain ranges, but the big draw to Canada during the winter period is the snow. In particular the snow that falls in British Columbia. It's why we chose Canada to be our destination of choice for ski courses.
Obviously the snow is important to us, but it's the complete package that Canada has to offer which makes it such an ideal location. The people are fantastic, super hospitable, friendly and sick skiers. You would expect them to be with a mountain range on almost every door step. They make for some of the worlds best ski instructors you can find and their expertise not only attracts students, but fellow ski instructors from around the world looking to further develop their own skills whilst learning with the best.
If you have not been to Canada skiing then you are missing out. We can't stress how much you are going to love this country. The quality of the snow in British Columbia where we run our courses is out of this world. You will find yourself at multiple times during our courses putting in big pow slashes and charging deep deep pow! The whole vibe of the place is super chilled and the scenery is breathtaking. Its a beautiful place. We fell in love and made it our goal to get people to experience what a truly amazing place Canada is through a sport we love.
CSIA Ski Qualifications
It is important to get an understanding of what exactly you are getting out of your ski instructor course from a qualification point of view. What qualifications are there, how can they benefit you and most importantly where could you choose to take them for employment.
Deciding on Canada as a destination and NothinButSnow as your course provider will result in one helluva trip, but it also results in students of the course gaining canadian ski qualifications or CSIA qualifications for short. With so many types of recognised qualifications around the world, making a choice to go for CSIA is a sensible and viable option. They are extremely well respected and recognised globally within the snow sports industry.
Holding the CSIA Level 1 enables you to be eligible to work in Canada, America and Andorra. Those that partied hard through the season yet stayed focused and determined to bag their CSIA Level 2 qualification from our 11 week ski courses can go on to work in Canada, but also in New Zealand, Australia, USA and Japan. Holding the Snow Park qualification is a great addition to your CSIA Level 1 or 2, allowing you to teach freestyle skiing lessons.
The CSIA are the leaders in the profession of ski instruction and the most valued and respected contributor to the sport of skiing. They have developed a safe and positive guest experience, a progressive approach and set national standards in ski teaching.
CSIA Level 1 - Introduction to ski teaching. Teach novice skiers the early stages of learning from putting on their skis all the way up to wedge to parallel turns.
