This is correct and takes me back to a class in the subject at Illinois Institute of Technology. As taught in my time and doubtless today as well, most of "Calculus" is the mathematical field of elementary real analysis, but with a number of accompanying and essential topics, such as infinite series, analytic geometry, and elementary differential equations usually thrown in.
In my day, I took Analytic Geometry as a separate course and three semesters of Calculus before taking later separate courses on Advanced Calculus, Differential Equations, and Complex Analysis. Advanced Calculus is normally distinguished by the presentation of the topological and measure theory basis of modern analysis that are not covered in elementary Calculus courses.
There's really no reason this stuff can't be taught much earlier and I think it has begun to be in some places.
It was at one point the name of a field of mathematics, and it is still the name of a paedogogic tract common in mathematics education, but not a field.

text: FP 7. Work Programme 2010 COOPERATION Recovery Package PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARNERSHIP INITIATIVES ENERGY-EFFICIENT BUIcDINGS (EeB) This is an abstract of the document distributed during the PPP Info-Day held by the Commission in Brussels on 13th July 2009- Additonal information Call for Proposals should be launched on 30 th July 2009 Closure date: 3rd November 2009 This text is a draft which has not yet been adopted by the Commission It is therefore subject to change in the course of the adoption process V.2 "Energy-efficient Buildings " - Public-Private Partnership (EeB) - Cross- thematic cooperation between NMP, ICT, Energy and Environment The construction industry accounts for more than 10 % of the EU's GDP and employs 32 million people in large, medium and small enterprises (direct and indirect employment). The construction sector is the highest contributor to the emission of Green House Gases with an average value estimated in most developed countries at close to 33%, knowing that around 40% of the total energy use corresponds to buildings, while their fossil-fuel heating represents a major share. Therefore, in the near future, the built environment in Europe needs to be designed, built and renovated with much higher energy efficiency. In order to contribute through Energy-efficient Buildings to the objectives adopted in March 2007 by the European Council for a reduction by 2020 of 20% in the total energy consumption, 20% contribution of renewable energies to total energy production and a 20% reduction of greenhouse gas emission compared with the figures for 1990, a strong and continued effort in RTD and innovation in the short, medium and long term is needed. The objective of the Energy-efficient Buildings PPP Initiative is to deliver, implement and optimise building and district concepts that have the technical, economic and societal potential to drastically reduce energy consumption and decrease CÛ2 emission, both in relation to new buildings and to the renovation of existing buildings. This new initiative should have a large payoff, as it will increase the market for energy-efficient, clean and affordable buildings. Research priority will be given to delivering new building materials and components for energy saving and energy generation, thermal energy storage Systems, advance insulation Systems, thermal distribution Systems, lighting technologies, Windows and glazing technologies, energy generation Systems based on renewable sources, but also to reliable simulation and prediction tools, including assessment methods that integrate economical, social and environmental issues. To date, the construction industry has failed to effectively integrate key technologies into its operations in order to achieve sustainable, long-term competitiveness. The aim of the activities is to identify, through the partnership with industry, the main RTD needs, and address a number of areas of clear industrial interest, such as tools, the building envelopes, Systems and equipment, ICTs for energy efficiency, environmental technologies, social and behavioural aspects, standardisation and business models. Specific deliverables expected for new and refurbished buildings (including cultural heritage) are: • Research for new design and manufacturing technologies, focussing on new building materials and components, thermal energy storage Systems, advanced insulation Systems, thermal distribution Systems, lighting technologies, Windows and glazing technologies, and assessment methods which include guidelines/methodologies for the eco-design and the Life Cycle Assessment of energy-efficient buildings. . Research on ICT for energy efficiency in buildings, such as design and simulation tools, inter-operability/standards, building management Systems, smart metering and user- awareness tools. . Research on resource efficiency (waste and energy use) to identify best practices to help set standards and establish public policies for higher energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact. .Research on the application of technological, design and organisational improvements at district-level with the aim of reducing the energy and resource consumption. .Research-related activities on key demonstration topics concerning integration of innovative products and Systems, grid issues and business models. The indicative budget for the "Energy-efficient buildings" PPP initiative is EUR 65 million in 2010, of which EUR 30 million is from the NMP Theme, EUR 15 million from the ICT Theme, EUR 15 million from the Energy Theme and EUR 5 million from the Environment Theme. V.2.1 "Energy-efficient Buildings (EeB)" - Topics covered by the NMP Theme EeB.NMP.2010-1 New nanotechnology-based high performance insulation Systems for energy effîciency Technical content/scope: Insulating materials are used to keep the temperature constant in an enclosed space such as a house, either warmer or colder than the surroundings, and in doing so can protect the environment through the reduction of greenhouse gases. Nanotechnology offers high potential for enhanced insulation allowing thinner coatings or fillings to prevent heat loss or gain which would not be possible with conventional materials. The research shall focus on development of nanotechnology based insulation Systems for enhanced thermal and improved mechanical properties while reducing overall costs making wide-scale commercial application feasible, including the renovation of existing installations. Examples of materials Systems for achieving this are aerogels/aerogels composites and nanofoams or thin nanostructured insulators based on thermally resistant (composite) nanoparticles, which can be applied directly to a surface as a film, spray or pain. A further research objective is to combine the insulating effect with other functionalities, for example with photocromic, thermocromic, electrochromic for Windows or flame retardant effects, self-cleaning, biocide or humidity control properties, for walls and roofs. The safety of proposed solution(s) must be ensured for the full product life cycle (production, use, disposal/recycling). Economic performance of the proposed solutions should be demonstrated by service-life costing analysis. In order to ensure industrial relevance and impact of the research effort, the active participation of industrial partners represents an added value to the activities and this will be reflected in the evaluation. The projects are expected to cover demonstration activities, including pilot implementations in industrial settings, and this will be reflected in the evaluation. Funding Scheme: Collaborative projects Expected impact: (i) Reduce the cost of nanotechnology-based insulation Systems and make their wide-scale commercial application feasible (ii) reduce the heat losses and gains through the building envelope for reduced energy consumption and increased indoor comfort; (iii) for Windows which are the weakest part on the energy effîciency performance, a reduction in the U/value by more than 35% is expected compared with conventional ones. For glass covered building it would reduce the energy bill for heating by 40% and for cooling by 7%. EeB.NMP.2010-2 New technologies for energy effîciency at district level Technical content / scope: The construction sector can provide a significant contribution to the reduction of resources consumption and to a wider use of renewable resources. The main objective of the topic is to develop new technologies and methods to help reduce the energy consumption and environmental impact of buildings during their entire life-cycle (80% of energy consumption occurs during service-life) at district level, since this cannot be achieved only at building level. The main focus is on new concepts, technologies, design tools and business models at district level for "intelligent buildings", able to significantly reduce or even completely meet their own energy consumption; improvement of the building energy performance (through cladding and ventilation technologies, sensors, actuators and pervasive Computing Systems, utilisation of embedded renewable energy sources, etc.). Developments are also required at district level addressing new and improved materials and structures to improve the indoor environment as well as resource and climate, energy consumption conversion, storage capacities and energy carriers. Deliverables include the development, integration and demonstration, if possible at district level, of decision support Systems and assessment tools of the above concepts e.g. for social housing, residential buildings, offices, and public buildings such as hospitals, schools and universities, railway- and underground-stations and airports. In order to ensure industrial relevance and impact of the research efforts, the active participation of industrial partners, including SMEs, represents an added value to the activities and this will be reflected in the evaluation. The projects are expected to cover demonstration activities, including pilot implementations in industrial settings, and this will be reflected in the evaluation. Funding scheme: Collaborative projects. Expected impact: The new technologies should contribute to a reduction of 50% in energy consumption compared to the 2005 values. The benefits for applying the new technologies at district level are expected to represent a significant reduction (around 20%) of the total costs compared to existing solutions. The return on investment for these additional costs should be preferably not more than 7 years, both in the case of new construction and retrofitting. V.2.2 "Energy-efficient Buildings" (EeB) - Topics covered by the 1CT Theme EeB.ICT.2010.10-2 ICT for energy-efficient buildings and spaces of public use Targeted outcomes: a) Integrated ICT-based management and intelligent control Systems governing ail energv- efficient sub-svstems, such as solid state lighting, beat exchange or air treatment, deployed in spaces of public use. These control Systems should interoperate with other ICT-based sub-systems which may be in place to ensure security, safety and comfort. The System may cover both the inside of buildings as well as the exterior and surrounding space. Examples of such spaces include: a motorvay service area, a football stadium with its surrounding parking space, a university campus or a shopping mail. In addition to Systems integration, proposals should include a substantial validation phase focussing on the operation of the building(s) and surrounding space. During this phase, proposals should record évidence and draw lessons on the benefits and total cost of operation for use by those planning to deploy and finance such Systems. Proposals should also consider any relevant contributions to/from standardisation and regulation measures, as well as guidelines for future procurement schemes. b) European "ICT for Energy-efficient Buildings" Forum: One coordination action should bring together ail relevant stakeholders to identify and review the needs in terms of research and Systems integration. Its tasks should include editing and up-dating the REEB research Roadmap6, the organisation of expert hearings, and dissemination and networking events. The Forum should also aim at contributing to standardisation and regulation. Expected impact: - Contribution to the opening of a market for ICT-based customized solutions integrating numerous products from different vendors and offering services from design of integrated Systems to the operation and maintenance phases. - Establishment of a collaboration framework between the ICT and buildings and construction sectors aimed at exploiting opportunities for the development of ICT- based Systems in compliance with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. - Radical reduction of energy consumption and CO2 emissions, in line with the policy framework for facilitating the transition to an energy-efficient, low-carbon economy through ICT7. Funding Scheme: Collaborative projects (STREP) for targeted outcome a); CSA for targeted outcome b). 6 REEB: The European Stratégie Research Roadmap to ICT enabled Energy-Efficiency in Building and Construction, http://www.ict-reeb.eu/ 7 COM(2009)111. V.2.3 "Energy-efficient Buildings" - Topics covered by the Environment Theme EeB.ENV.2010.3.2.4-1Compatible solutions for improving the energy efficiency of historic buildings in urban areas The objective is to develop new technologies and Systems as well as compatible materials for improved energy efficiency of historic buildings while ensuring their sustainable protection and integration in urban areas. Proposals will target rehabilitation or adaptation of historic buildings to make them highly resource and energy efficient by improving architectural components, thermal insulation, air conditioning and ventilation, heating, lighting, and other appropriate solutions. Developments should also promote innovative methods and materials for the monitoring and control of energy consumption and of indoor climate including air pollution and possibly be applicable to cultural heritage collections located in historic buildings. Solutions for the rehabilitation and/or retrofitting of historic buildings must respect the integrity, authenticity and compatibility between the old and new materials and techniques, and be economically viable to enable a widespread application to a vast majority of urban historic buildings, whether they are or not protected by legislation. Protocols and tools for the planning and implementation of heritage rehabilitation works should be adapted to consider the specific cultural value and priorities required of heritage building interventions and to ensure their effective transferability to other historic buildings located in other urban centres or their surroundings across Europe. A significant participation of industrial partners including SMEs is required. The participation of local authorities or agencies in charge of the rehabilitation and adaptation of ancient and historic buildings in rehabilitated urban areas is encouraged. This will be considered in the evaluation. Funding scheme: Collaborative Project (large scale integrating project, upper financial contribution EUR 5 000 OOO)8 Expected impact: Proposals should contribute to the European Economic Recovery Plan and lead to widespread improvement of energy saving in historic buildings, sustainable rénovation of ancient infrastructure and improved living conditions within historic urban areas. Research should contribute to improved quality management of historic cities and cultural tourism, and also help implement the EU Environmental Impact Assessment Directives when applied to historic buildings9. Proposals. Proposals will also support the Strategic Research Agenda of the European Construction Technology Platform and its Focus Area in Cultural heritage. Funding scheme: Collaborative Project (large scale integrating project, upper financial contribution EUR 5 000 OOO)8Expected impact: Proposals should contribute to the European Economic Recovery Plan and lead to widespread improvement of energy saving in historic buildings, sustainable renovation of ancient infrastructure and improved living conditions within historic urban areas. Research should contribute to improved quality management of historic cities and cultural tourism, and also help implement the EU Environmental Impact Assessment Directives when applied to historic buildings9. Proposals should contribute to the EU Energy Performance of Buildings and other relevant policy regulations. Proposals will also support the Strategic Research Agenda of the European Construction Technology Platform and its Focus Area in Cultural heritage. No more than one project will be supported. 8 9 See the guidelines resulting from the EC project SUIT at http://www.suitproject.net V.2.4 "Energy-efficient Buildings" - Topics covered by the Energy Theme . EeB.ENERGY.2010.8.1-2: Demonstration of Energy Efficiency through Retrofitting of Buildings Content!scope: Demonstrate in the building sector, high energy efficient innovative retrofitting technologies and measures for low energy performing buildings, the typology of which is representative for large geographical areas in Europe. The project(s) shall use innovation in technology, design, planning, operation or Systems integration with a strong preference for residential buildings and address socio economic issues. While the project(s) could contain a single building or a number of buildings, located in one or more countries, effort and budget should be balanced amongst participants from at least three Member States/Associated States. Retrofitting should be as cost effective as possible. The return to investment for the energy saving measures should be calculated and presented and should be reasonable under current market standards. Detailed information should be provided on the building(s) existing envelope and ils current energy use and the energy efficiency measures to be applied should also be described extensively. The gross floor area of the building(s) should be specified together with the targeted annual energy use per m2 (kWh/m2/year, broken down by space heating, cooling, domestic hot water heating, lighting, etc) In addition to the technical measures to be undertaken, additional accompanying measures affecting the future operation of the building (e.g. behavioural changes, post occupancy evaluation) should also be clearly addressed. The energy use should achieve at least the national limit values for new buildings according to the applicable legislation based on the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (for 2010). A holistic approach is expected in the measures to be taken and all elements and Systems of the building that could contribute to its becoming more energy efficient should be envisaged. The space heat use (kWh/m2/year) should be reduced by about 75%. The project(s) should have a high potential of replication contributing to large scale market deployment before 2020; a dissemination and market deployment programme should be included in the proposal. The detailed metering/monitoring programme should last at least for one year, however, longer term commitment and programmes of the building operators (e.g. in continuous monitoring and/or guarantees of performance to the tenants) would give an added value to the proposal. Funding scheme: Collaborative Projects. Expected impact: • Large scale market deployment in retrofitting of buildings before 2020 • Accelerate the retrofitting uptake of low efficient building stock in EU. • Offer cost effective highly energy efficient retrofitting practices. • Accelerate the market uptake of the most innovative ICT tools for efficient buildings management • Create best practice examples for the construction sector based on innovation and competitiveness, with benefits for the citizens and the environment. • Contribute to raise the performance standards and regulations on European, national and local level, in the construction industry and building sector, through the best practice examples. Additional information: • In addition to the detailed description of the buildings and the measures to be taken, it is strongly suggested for participants to complete and include in the proposals the Building Energy Specification Tables (BEST) summarising this information for every type of building proposed. The template for the BEST table can be downloaded from the following web address: ftp://ftp.cordis.europa.eu/pub/fp7/docs/wp/cooperation/energv/e best 2010 en.xls. • Successful proposals will be asked to follow a common monitoring data structure, using a common methodology, in order to feed the relevant Commission data bases (e.g. CONCERTO data base). • The form of grant applied in area 8.1.2. 'Energy efficiency in Buildings' is based on additional energy efficiency measures in buildings. The grant will be composed of a combination of: the typical reimbursement of eligible costs, and flat rate financing determined on the basis of scale of unit costs only for the demonstration part of the buildings. • The scale of unit cost of Community financial contribution is fixed to EUR 100 /m2 eligible costs and thus EUR 50 /m2 Community contribution. • The eligible costs per building used in the projects are fixed costs. • The total of Community financial contribution based on scale of unit costs may not exceed EUR 6 million for one demonstration site. • The evaluation of the proposals will also take into account the degree of excellence and innovation of the technology used and the most cost effective practices (euros/efficiency gain; euros/CO2 reduction, kWh/m2/year saved). For this reason, the above figures should be indicated in the proposal. • Up to four (4) projects will be supported.

The South Shore Networkers chapter of Business Network International began its 2013-2014 term by welcoming a new leadership team.
Nancy Brennan of Risk Strategies Company is the new president, Jason Ranallo, Attorney at Law, is vice president, and Scott Killgoar, V. P. and Branch Manager of Rockland Trust is the secretary and Treasurer.
The chapter is also celebrating its ninth anniversary. Since it began in 2006, the chapter tracks the dollars of business generated from their referrals. The South Shore Networkers chapter has generated millions of dollars in business for its members. In the 2011-2012 term, the total was over $1.1 million.
BNI, which has 150,000 members in 45 countries, was founded in 1985 by Dr. Ivan Misner for the purpose of helping businesses to build referral networks. Each chapter allows just one person per professional classification to avoid any competition, and members focus on giving referrals to other members.
In an interview, Dr. Misner said networking is more like farming than hunting: It's about cultivating relationships with other business people. "It's not what you know or who you know," he said. "It's how well you know them that really counts. Givers Gain is our Credo."
The South Shore Networkers meet every Tuesday from 7 to 8:30 a.m. at 400 Washington Street (suite 401) Braintree. Guests are welcome to the Breakfast meeting at no charge.
"We invite people to visit to see if they think a membership is good for their business," visitor host Jim Martin commented.
For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 781-956-8521.

Because we are Flyover Country, and thus aw-shucks dirt-kicking provincial, we are allowed to claim every author who not only was born here and lived here for a time (or lives here still), but also every author who was educated here, is here on fellowship, or who has summered up the Shore. (This would include Pat Conroy, whose sister lived in Minneapolis for awhile--he'd visit her, and then head up the Shore.)
We draw the line at including writers who have simply spent the night or changed planes at MSP International. We do have some pride.
So in that vein, we should all be bursting with pride at the number of Minnesota authors who have made it to the semi-finals in the annual Goodreads Best Books competition. There are perhaps overly many genres, but we won't argue with that--all the better for highlighting more and more books! (Though the books don't always seem to quite belong with the genre--is Colum McCann's "TransAtlantic" really "historical fiction"? And is Joyce Carol Oates' "The Accursed" really "horror"? Well, maybe.)
It should be no surprise that the busy and prolific Neil Gaiman is a finalist -- in three categories. (Fantasy, middle-grade and picture book.) Fortunately, because he lives in western Wisconsin and flies in and out of the Twin Cities, we get to claim him.
So. To the list. If you are a member of Goodreads (and it's easy to join, though controversial, since they were acquired by Amazon) you can vote. There are 25 semifinalists in each of 20 categories--a lot of books! Though some, such as Helene Wecker's highly praised "The Golem and the Jinni," are in multiple categories. (Fantasy, and Debut Novel.) (Wecker is a Carleton grad, and, thus, one of us.)
I'm not going to give you all the titles. You can find those yourself on Goodreads.com. But here are the Minnesota books (or Minnesota-tinged books). More than a million votes have been cast already, so it's quite impressive to make the seminfinals. Be proud!
Fiction: "The Orphan Train," by Christina Baker Kline. (She summers in Minnesota, and the book is partially set here.)
Mystery and thriller: "Ordinary Grace," by William Kent Kruger. (A resident of St. Paul.)
Fantasy: "The Golem and the Jinni," by Helene Wecker, and "The Ocean at the End of the Lane," by Neil Gaiman.
Horror: "The Fate of Mercy Alban," by Duluth writer Wendy Webb, and "Red Moon," by Benjamin Percy, writer-in-residence at St. Olaf College.
Nonfiction: "I Wear the Black Hat," by Chuck Klosterman. (Born here!)
Poetry: "Black Aperture," by Matt Rasmussen. "Incarnadine," by Mary Szybist (published by Minnesota's Graywolf Press). (We'll find out next week about the National Book Award -- both are in the running.)
Middle grade: "Fortunately, the Milk," by Neil Gaiman
Picture book: "Chu's Day," by Neil Gaiman.
Now go do your civic duty, and vote! Voting ends Saturday, and you can vote on the finalists beginning Monday. Good luck.

Gateway Arch and the St. Louis Cardinals Baseball
... at Busch Stadium. Of course, Melina was injured and didn't play in tonight's game and the Cardinals lost 9-1 but it was a beautiful night to be at a baseball game. It was fun to explore a new stadium. Busch Stadium is also another "notch" in Steve and Will's quest to see as many ballparks as possible. Tomorrow, we're continuing our trek eastward with a stop in Lexington, ...
Corn and Cardinals
Four Midwestern states today (Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri), endless fields of corn, car games, and we finally crossed the mighty Mississippi and arrived at the St. Louis Cardinals stadium. It was a sea of red and lots of fun, but the Cards lost to the Pirates. The arch ...
Game 14: Hot Route! Red 7!
... games. It was very fortunate that I was able to do this, not so sure I will be able to adjust like this in the future. So instead of sitting around getting soaked by rain waiting for the game to start and hopefully not get postponed (it ended up being a 2 hour delay) I instead got soaked by sweating in 91 degree, high (for me) humidity weather. The stadium itself isn't remarkable or doesn't have any amazing features but I really like the ...
The Arch and Some More "Q"
... a bit more attentive of what we were around and seeing. We then walked to the "Old Courthouse" which is to the west of the Arch. The building was completed in 1928. It is a neat domed building that reminds us of the domes of the capitol building in Austin, TX and the US Capitol Building in Washington, DC. The major significance was that this was the building in which the Dred Scott Case (a slave family who sued for their freedom in 1846) ...
On my way to get my bike fixed
... got me back into Missouri and to go back I would have to pay a toll (not likely). So I stopped at a MacDonalds to check my e-mail to see if the guy from BMW had sent me anything and he had. He really wanted to see my bike so that he knew he was going to order the right part for me. So a mad dash to St Louis was in order and I made it by 3:30pm which was 1/2 an hour before his deadline. Oh well, I'll go back to Hannibal tomorrow.

Introducing the Contemporary Fireground

There are many very nice low-pressure/high-flow nozzles, do some homework and make your own judgment. (All hose and all nozzles are not created equal. Test each nozzle using calibrated flow metering equipment and make sure you're using low-friction-loss hose.)
I'm sure you've heard the traditional maxim "do not pass fire." That caveat still holds water (no pun intended): If fire is venting out a window, do not pass the fire, blast the fire. (Tactical caveat: do this using a solid stream or straight stream; never do this with any degree of fog. Make sure the stream is bounced off the ceiling, shooting the water through the flames will provide no strategic benefit. The goal is stream conversion.)
This offensive benefit from a defensive position squirt can reliably turn-back the fire-growth clock, will often confine the fire and often extinguish the fire. If you've ever watched video of FDNY tower ladders blasting fire through windows, you know how effective this can be. Offensive benefit from a defensive position is a brilliant strategy that was employed 100 years ago - on the traditional fireground.
Final Thoughts
Just as a competent physician or paramedic must possess a knowledge foundation of human anatomy and physiology, a competent fire officer must possess a knowledge foundation of structural fireground anatomy and physiology: building construction. Building construction knowledge and a solid understanding of fire behavior are essential for a master craftsman fire officer to make informed fireground decisions and proactively manage fireground risk.
This article described how the traditional square-foot fireground has evolved - for the worse; my hope is that this information will serve as the catalyst for a spirited discussion about how we will adapt to this transformation strategically and tactically. It is not appropriate to continue doing business as usual in and around a fireground that has not been "usual" for decades.
Master craftsman fire officers must continuously seek contemporary tactical alternatives that will achieve traditional strategic benefits. (One example is positive-pressure ventilation.) I hope I'm around long enough to hear the traditional "we are an aggressive, interior fire department" (emphasis on tactics) replaced by the contemporary "we are a fire department that ensures our fireground operations are intelligent and safe as possible" (emphasis on strategy).
Finally, there is something that hasn't changed during the last 50 years: Great tactics have always been, and will always be, easier than good strategy.
Look for an upcoming series, "Building Construction: The Anatomy and Physiology of the Structural Fireground," by Mark Emery that will explore many of the words and concepts discussed within this article. The series will make the engineering principles of building construction easy to understand and applicable to pre-incident planning and the development of a three-in-the-morning fireground strategy.

Partial outages disrupt Amazon's Internet-hosted database and computing services.
Amazon Web Services LLC, a unit of Amazon.com Inc. that provides web site operators, including online retailers, with "cloud" or Internet-based services such as data storage, computing capacity and databases, reported problems with making some web services available last night and earlier today in Northern Virginia.
Amazon started reporting performance problems at about 9 p.m. Pacific time yesterday, with some issues continuing early this morning. The problems caused interruptions in Amazon's EC2, or Elastic Computing Cloud, pay-as-you-go computing capacity service, and RDS, or Relational Database Service.
By early this morning, Amazon said most issues had been resolved, but noted that it was still trying to determine what went wrong. "We will be following up here with the root cause of this event," Amazon Web Services said today on its "Service Health Dashboard" at status.aws.amazon.com.
Outages at web services operations that support things like computing capacity and relational databases can have a big impact on online retailers whether or not they directly subscribe to such services, says Brian Walker, vice president and technology analyst at Forrester Research Inc. That's because these services often support the operations of third-party vendors that provide technology to e-commerce sites, he says.
"Amazon has a role in roughly a quarter of all e-commerce sites by serving content or functionality from its Internet environment, often hosted there by third-party vendors selling site tools, content, or features to e-commerce sites," he says. "Many e-commerce sites may be largely unaware of the degree to which they are dependent on Amazon infrastructure because it is masked by vendors with software-as-a-service or Internet hosted solutions reliant on Amazon. Many sites or features on those sites would be affected by downtime at Amazon Web Services."

Autism and Autoimmunity
by Raymond Gallup
As a parent whose son is autistic due to the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, I found Dr. Andrew Wakefield's February 1998 Lancet article about measles in the gut of autistic children on target.1
if (isset($google_rectangle_slot)){ ?> }else{ ?> } ?>
Vijendra Singh,PhD, found that our son tested positive for myelin basic protein antibodies in February 1995.2 In November 1995, James Oleske, a pediatric immunologist at UMDNJ in Newark, New Jersey tested our son and found that his measles titers were three times higher than normal, equal to subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). Dr. Oleske has found other autistic patients having elevated measles titers that are three-fold higher than normal.3
Our son and other autistic patients were treated with intravenous gamma globulin (IVIG), a treatment pioneered by Sudhir Gupta,MD.4 Dr. Gupta notes that high titers, the MMR vaccination and the myelin basic protein antibodies as being connected with autism.
There have been other troubling findings:
In an article on autoimmunity and vaccines,5 Arnon Dov Cohen,MD, and Yehuda Shoenfeld,MD, state that vaccines have a predilection to affect the nervous system and cause demyelination.6 Hugh Fudenberg,MD, identifies the MMR, DPT and hepatitis B vaccines being involved with his autistic patients.7 He also referenced Dr. Singh's article on the myelin basic protein antibodies (VK Singh, et al., 1993). Harold Buttram,MD, believes the MMR is a potential cause of encephalitis in children.8 Dr. Rimland, recognized internationally as a leading expert in the field of autism, publicly states that he believes that the current childhood vaccine programs are one of the major causes for the current epidemic of autism.9
At a public meeting, Dr. Singh presented information on an unpublished, preliminary study of 27 autistic children. He found a nearly 50 percent correlation between MMR antibodies and antibodies to myelin basic protein in serum drawn from the children.10
Dawbarns, a law firm in England, has published a paper that reports on over 600 instances of side effects following the MMR and MR vaccines, which were introduced in England in 1988.11
In a recent report from Japan it was demonstrated that the live virus from the measles vaccine does persist in mononuclear cells of the body in children with autoimmune hepatitis.12
In 1991, there was a report of significantly higher child mortality following high-titered measles vaccines compared with standard measles vaccines among children in Senegal.13
Dr. Harris Coulter makes numerous references in his book to the effect of vaccines on the myelin in the brain. He states that vaccines are the main cause of encephalitis.14

September 08, 2011, 10:13 AM — During the Saleforce.com Dreamforce event in San Francisco, CEO Marc Benioff sat down with some of the leaders in the industry to talk about Cloud computing and governance in the digital age. The panel included former US federal government chief information officer, Vivek Kundra, the vice-president of the European Commission responsible for the Digital Agenda, Neelie Kroes, and Burberry chief executive officer, Angela Ahrendts.
The four leaders discussed various issues during the course of the wide ranging conversation, including best practice for Cloud computing by governments and the importance of human rights. In part 3 of this series, CIO Australia brings you an extract of the conversation between Benioff and Ahrendts.
Marc Benioff: Angela, you're in one of the most dynamic fields in the world [and] you run a huge global company. Burberry has to think about these issues — the rights of your customers, of your employees, the transparency and the trust that you provide. How do you think about the global enterprise and the move to the social enterprise in regards to governments today?
Angela Ahrendts: I'm going to pull a quote, Mark, out of your brilliant book that I read over the holidays... And probably my favourite quote in the book — you said that most successful CEOs today are not living by profit, but also by purpose.
Read Part 1 - Marc Benioff talks to Vivek Kundra
It's one of the core values of our company... and I think it puts the onus back on every one of us; I think you are going to see a massive shift and I don't think that governments will have the resources. The onus will be on the businesses, and if businesses are creating a social enterprise, you are not a business in a community anymore, you are the community.
So therefore, what is your purpose? What are you supposed to do? How are you supposed to educate? How are you supposed to create jobs? I feel that that is what Cloud is, that is what social media is going to do.
If social media can put politicians into office and if social media can overturn countries, then why can't social enterprises make great communities, turn around great cities, turn around great countries? I think that's a bigger calling for all of us.
Benioff: You're based in the UK, your office is in London, you're everywhere in the world. What relationships do you want with all of those local governments? ...Do you want the ability for data to easily flow between borders so that your stores in Hong Kong can easily use the same application as your stores in New York or in Munich?

While employers nationwide added more than 200,000 jobs in July, the legal services sector saw a slight contraction last month.

The legal services sector gained 2,000 jobs in January, reversing a period of mild contraction at the end of 2013, according to the U.S. Labor Department.
The total number of legal jobs now stands at 1,137,200 — about 7,000 more than there were in January 2013 and the most since 2009. The 10-year high of 1,180,000 was set in May 2007.
The wider economy registered weak gains for the second straight month. U.S. payrolls increased by a seasonally adjusted 113,000 in January. Read More »
There hasn't been much to cheer about in the legal industry in recent years—at least not from the point of view of major law firms.
But the 2014 outlook from Citi Private Bank and Hildebrandt Consulting, released on Monday, offers a little shaft of sunshine for beleaguered BigLaw after more than five years of slack demand, declining partner productivity and client pushback on pricing.
Despite the difficulties, most major law firms have held on through the challenging years after the economic downturn, and 2013 brought no "seismic shocks" to the industry, according to the report. Read More »
The legal services sector shed 900 jobs in October, ending three consecutive months of growth, according to the U.S. Department of Labor's latest monthly report.
Legal jobs in October numbered 1,129,200 — more than 50,000 fewer than the 10-year high of 1,180,000 set in May 2007. The sector has added 4,100 jobs over the last 12 months.
Overall, U.S. payrolls advanced by 204,000 jobs last month, topping economists' forecast for an increase of 120,000. Read More »

When it comes to regulating the legal profession, why is it that only lawyers call the shots?
That's the provocative question posed by Professor James E. Moliterno of Washington and Lee University School of Law, in a new paper appearing in the Emory Law Journal.
"The legal profession is ponderous, backward looking, and self-preserving," Mr. Moliterno writes. "I recommend a more forward-looking approach that welcomes the views, and even control, of nonlawyers and innovators in business and other enterprises."
To steer a better course, he suggests giving non-lawyers a turn at the wheel. This means, he says, letting them serve in leadership and policy positions at the American Bar Association . . . . Read More »

Justice Clarence Thomas's comment during oral arguments in the Supreme Court last month, his first in almost seven years, has sparked a public conflict between court stenographers and a company that aims to replace them with digital recorders.
Cross-talk in the courtroom, or laughter maybe, obscured the justice's remark. A preliminary transcript released by the court recorded him as saying only "Well—he did not—."
The National Court Reporters Association, the professional organization for court stenographers, blamed the garble on the technology that is increasingly stealing business from its members. . . . . . . Read More »

In the first month of 2013, the legal services sector dropped 2,400 jobs, erasing gains in December, according to the Labor Department.
After revisions, December saw legal jobs increase by about 2,000, not the 1,000 originally reported.
Overall, the sector has added 6,500 jobs over the past year.
The economy added 157,000 jobs last month, signaling a slow start to the year. The unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9%
Professional and technical services as a group — which includes legal, accounting and bookkeeping, architecture and engineering, computer systems design, and management and technical consulting — accounted for 14,800 new jobs in January, according to the Labor Department.
Management and Consulting made the largest gain, with 11,500 new jobs. Read More »

Businesses worried about proposed plans
New flood defence plans were displayed in Dumfries town centre in August, after years of campaigning from local businesses.
However, the plans were met by mixed reactions with some businesses worried that the new scheme could deter people from visiting the town.
For example, the council were proposing to cut the number of car parking spaces to make way for new flood defences.
The river Nith often bursts its banks during the winter months, with many shopfronts suffering extensive damage as a result.

The RUNX3 gene is a member of the Runt domain family of transcription factors that are master regulators of gene expression in major developmental pathways. Recently, lack of RUNX3 function was found to be associated with genesis and progression of gastric carcinoma. We studied methylation of CpG islands in the RUNX3 gene by methylation-specific PCR in 80 gastric carcinoma specimens, 45 corresponding non-neoplastic mucosae, and 7 gastric carcinoma cell lines. We also measured levels of RUNX3 mRNA in 50 of the gastric carcinoma cases by quantitative RT-PCR and in the gastric carcinoma cell lines by RT-PCR. Hypermethylation of the RUNX3 promoter was found in 57 (71%) of 80 gastric carcinomas, and promoter hypermethylation of RUNX3 occurred more frequently in intestinal and diffuse-adherent type tumors than in diffuse-scattered type tumors (p = 0.046). Reduced RUNX3 expression was associated with promoter hypermethylation (p = 0. 036), however, there was no correlation between RUNX3 mRNA expression levels and T grade, N grade, tumor stage, or histological type. In corresponding non-neoplastic mucosae, hypermethylation of the RUNX3 promoter was found in 38 (84%) of 45 specimens. Among seven gastric carcinoma cell lines, three cell lines (MKN-28, MKN-74, TMK-1) with diminished expression of RUNX3 had promoter methylation and three cell lines (MKN-1, MKN-7, MKN-45) with RUNX3 expression showed no promoter methylation. Our results overall suggest that transcriptional inactivation of RUNX3 by promoter hypermethylation may participate in the stomach carcinogenesis.

In England, a High Court judge will not allow doctors to abort a mentally disabled woman's baby without her consent. Doctors have applied for an order to allow them to terminate the pregnancy. They claim that the unborn child is endangering her life. The judge maintains that the mother must still have the right to decide, in spite of her disability.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic online) - The unidentified woman, whose identity is being kept secret for legal reasons is described as having "significant learning impairment," and has suffered a series of strokes due to sickle cell disease.
Medics insist that the woman does not have the ability to make the decision herself and have described the need for an abortion as "urgent."
Justice Hedley, sitting in the Court of Protection at London's High Court, said it was "in her best interests" if the woman, who is 18 weeks pregnant and from the south of England, was "to continue with the pregnancy."
The alleged father of the unborn child is known -- but it would not be right for the court to make any observations about that, he added.
The judge went on that it was very important to bear in mind that people with severe learning difficulties "may very well retain the capacity to make deeply personal decisions about how they conduct their lives."
According to the judge, this includes decisions about choice of partners, the extent of sexual activity, making permanent relationships "and decisions about their own medical care including, as in this case, the continuation or termination of pregnancy," he said.
The judge decided this after independent expert in psychiatry, Dr Stephen Tyrer, expressed the view that she did have capacity "to decide whether or not to continue with, or terminate, pregnancy," despite this she "manifestly lacked capacity" to participate in legal proceedings today, the judge said.
The woman's sickle cell disease is very serious -- her red blood cells develop abnormally, preventing oxygen circulation -- and the baby must be terminated very soon to reduce the risk of her losing her life, doctors say.
Around 250,000 people in the United Kingdom are believed to have sickle cell disease, and it is more prevalent among ethnic minorities.
Until recently the Court of Protection sat in secret and is charged with ruling on "life and death" cases where patients are deemed incapable of making a decision themselves.

It can, but only if U.S. officials start to think clearly about what success in the war on terror would actually look like. Victory will come only when Washington succeeds in discrediting the terrorists' ideology and undermining their support. These achievements, in turn, will require accepting that the terrorist threat can never be eradicated completely and that acting as though it can will only make it worse.

The Foreign Policy Research Institute presents this analysis by Greg Mills, head of the Johannesburg-based Brenthurst Foundation (he was from May-September 2006, seconded to ISAF HQ in Kabul as a special adviser to the Commander). He argues that scrutinizing the past has limited benefit in dealing with a modern, complex insurgency, where the insurgent faces a national government but with a complex range of multinational governmental and nongovernmental actors involved in the security and development effort. He says domestic insurgencies have to be confronted internationally and in many dimensions with unprecedented demands for intelligence gathering and analysis, interoperability and flexibility, and cultural sensitivity and understanding.

After the commercial break, Peter and Olivia are speeding through the streets in an SUV while getting the heads-up from Walter, who has apparently told them it's sunlight, much to their surprise and he crabbily reminds them that even though they can't see it, it's still there in the sky. Sure, but when it's night, that means its rays are hitting the earth somewhere else and certainly not demolishing towers, so CHILL, Walter. "Jones must be reflecting the light off of something, like one of those disco balls and then focusing it, like we do with a magnifying glass," says Walter. I hate to say that I'll need a little more convincing than "disco ball and magnifying glass," Walter. Olivia says it looks like Jones is trying to burn a hole to China and Walter feels the need to point out that it's a myth that China is on the opposite side that it would in fact be India, which isn't anywhere close to being the point. Peter has more practical questions: "What does this have to do with nanites and how do we even know that it's Jones?" Walter's all, "A-ha!" and asks if Peter is now prepared to concede that it may well be the work of William Bell and maybe Walter can quit trying to score debate points and worry about stopping the evil disco-ball sun laser.
As usual, Astrid is doing all the work and getting no help from Walter in terms of prioritizing all the orders he's barking her at her about satellite imagery and radio waves and geological data. Eventually, what comes together is this: three months ago, a subterranean oil reservoir was discovered below Beacon Hill and unless they stop it, the sunbeam will essentially set Boston on fire from below. But like for real, not the way Aerosmith does it. Walter tells Peter that Broyles is going to have to evacuate an area much wider than the one mile he's already doing. Peter asks how much, which is his first mistake. "All of it," says Walter. "All of what?" Peter asks. "Boston," says Walter. Peter's going to have to get back to him on that.
Anyway, Astrid is now working on her radio-waves assignment and has found two frequencies not owned by the government transmitting in the S-band: 2202.518, and 2202.520. "You brilliant bastard, Belly," says Walter, who now urgently needs something to write on.
Then Olivia gets a call from Walter, who has scribbled a bunch of calculations on a clear board and orders them to head toward Beech Street, on the edge of Chinatown: "I believe that's where Jones is commanding the satellites from," says Walter. Peter's all, what's this about satellites now? You may know them as "disco balls," Peter. Walter spins a bunch of hooey about Jones commandeering or launching two satellites and bouncing the sunlight around the planet. Walter says he's triangulated the signals and they appear to be coming from Beech Street. "Interrupt the signals and you shut off this nonsense that is the kind of plotline that might appear in a particularly ridiculous James Bond movie, one of the ones right before they decide to remake the franchise and get back to basics," says Walter.
