Photo by myself on Eighth Avenue around 39th Street.
You'd be surprised how homely some blocks still are, in New York.
Eighth Avenue is still decidedly un-fancy. There are x-rated video stores and peep shows still, some stores selling inexpensive clothing and pizza joints.
Up ahead on the left, is the hulking Port Authority Terminal, with gigantic green trusses on all sides. Buses leave there for New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and upstate New York.

Seen, on the Upper West Side
Read more...
Photo by myself around 72nd Street and Broadway, on the Upper West Side.
What looked like a seeing eye dog and a man stood outside the subway station Tuesday night.
After a moment, the man looked at me and asked, 'Is it real? I don't see it breathing.' Meaning was this a real dog? Alas, no. I'm not sure what it was, so I'm labeling it 'art'. There was no obvious sign of an artist.
The dog drew the attention of people walking by. There is a lot of foot traffic outside this subway station.
After a minute, the man took out his phone to take a photo.

Getting Around Traffic, in Midtown
Read more...
Photo by myself, in Midtown.
There is so much traffic in the city these days, getting around town is very frustrating.
Just getting down the street can be torture. I've spent many a cab ride with the cab driver ranting and raving and shaking a fist at the sky. Ha.
The only good thing about gridlock? Cyclists can weave ahead of the traffic jam.

Critters, Streetside
Read more...
Photo by myself at 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Ave. in Midtown.
A man unloaded his companions, in front of Grand Central Station at rush hour.
From left to right: a black cat, three guinea pigs, a dog and another dog. The first dog is a little difficult to see because of the loud (animal-themed) prints.
My fiancé Mark pointed out that not all the animals in the photo are real. There is a stuffed animal on the bottom bunk, below the guinea pigs. No doubt that the top bunk is the preferred spot.
I have mixed feelings when I come across people who have pets or children with them on the sidewalk, but I stopped to give the man a couple dollars.
I was surprised by the proximity of guinea pigs to cat. The guinea pigs were nearly motionless, whether because they were afraid or just hanging out (they looked very relaxed to me). A few seconds later, the man reached into a carrier and brought out several parakeets (!).

Amid Tall Buildings, Near Bryant Park
Read more...
Photo by myself, around 42nd Street and Sixth Avenue in Midtown.
Above, the universal stance used when taking a picture of a tall building with one's phone.
There is a glut of tall, glass buildings along Sixth Avenue. Behind me, Bryant Park provides a welcomed relief from all the pavements and other hard surfaces. You can see some of the park trash cans, painted light green and resembling plant life.
There is no lack of food stuffs, food kiosks and food carts. You will never go hungry here, as long as you have a buck or twelve.
On the left, a kiosk for 'Wichcraft, a chain of restaurants owned by Tom Colicchio, one of the judges on Top Chef. The 'wich' part is from 'sandwich', as in 'high end sandwich with a mix of snazzy ingredients'.
It's Labor Day weekend, in the States. Everyone is enjoying an extra-long weekend. Hooray!

Courtside, in Flushing Meadows, Queens
Read more...
Photo by myself from Center Court at Flushing Meadows, Queens.
I had the good fortune of attending the US Open, Thursday night. Above, fans craned their necks to watch the match between Andy Murray (Great Britain) and Mattias Bachinger (Germany).
It was blustery and very cold up in the stands, but below on the courts, the players were sweating. The competitive play means you don't know who you will wind up watching until the day of the match. Murray, ranked eighth, wound up winning three straight sets. He will face Andrey Kuznetsov of Russia, next.
The men were followed by a game between Eugenie Bouchard (Canada) and Sorana Cirstea (Romania). Bouchard won the first set but lost in the second in a tie break. It was so cold by that time, we had to leave (along with about half of the crowd!). Very few people were physically or psychologically prepared to sit outside in what felt like 60 degree weather, with high winds.
I had an excellent time and will follow the remaining of the games on tv. Flushing Meadows is a relatively short train ride away from Manhattan. Ticket prices range from affordable to insane.
Check out the US Open website, here.
A snapshot from the Murray match. Murray is on the opposite side, in blue.
Dozens of tables are out for folks to enjoy all the different food vendors. In the background, the big screen cycles through matches being played on the various courts.

Outside the Peninsula Hotel
Photo by myself on Fifth Avenue, around 55th Street on the Upper East Side.
The Peninsula Hotel on 55th Street is adorned with flags and some gorgeous, ornate architecture.
I took this photo from the back of a cab.
In New York, owners of buildings taller than six floors need to have the exteriors of their buildings professionally inspected every five years. It used to be that the inspectors would look at a building through binoculars, but after several accidents, they now have to go up to inspect facades firsthand.

Spotted on the Sidewalk, in Sunset Park
Read more...
Photo by myself around 55th Street and 8th Avenue, in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
An older man wheeled his grandson in a little shopping cart. (I'm just assuming he didn't purchase the little boy somewhere!)
Mark and I stopped by Sunset Park, for a dim sum lunch. Not the most comfortable ride, a shopping cart is a sensible choice in the city - it folds up nicely for apartment dwellers, and is very lightweight.
The southern part of this neighborhood is known as Chinatown, in Brooklyn. Restaurants are not limited to Chinese or Cantonese food - there are Malaysian and Vietnamese eateries, too. Meanwhile, the northern part of Sunset Park is home to a large Hispanic population.
Happy Monday everyone!

A Charge, Free of Charge
Read more...
Photo by myself in Bryant Park.
An absolute no-brainer idea of the times - a solar-powered charging station that is free to use. Its solar panel is smartly angled south. I'm sure these exist in other cities too, though possibly not outside?
Currently there are only 45 of these in the five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten Island). I'm surprised there aren't more.
For a map of charging station locations in New York, click here.
ps: We've had the least humid August here, ever. Usually it is absolutely unbearable, but this year, August feels like how October 'should' feel.
Is it the same in your neck of the woods?

Looking North, from the Promenade
Read more...
Photo by myself, from the Brooklyn Promenade.
The Brooklyn Promenade is actually cantilevered over the Brooklyn Queens Expressway (what we call the BQE). Here, you can see the walkway and its concrete support underneath. The blue car below is headed east on the BQE, which will eventually get you to Queens.
The buildings are warehouses along the water. There is also a new park called Brooklyn Bridge Park that hugs the Brooklyn shoreline, and some shipping piers that have been renovated into new soccer fields (!). Across the East River lies the southern tip of Manhattan, which includes South Street Seaport and the Financial District.

Bobsled Thriller Going into the last two runs of the four man bobsled, it was a four sled competition, with Russia leading, followed by Latvia, the United States, and Germany. The Germans faltered a bit in the third run, but the second Russia sled had a great run to put themselves in the medal picture. With the pressure on, Steven Holcomb and his American teammates just beat out the Russians for bronze by .03 seconds. Latvia then guaranteed themselves silver and put pressure on the top Russian sled. The Russians, led by two man gold medalists Aleksandr Zoubkov, did the job, winning gold by .09 seconds.
Sweep for Russia In the final individual event of the Games, the men's 50k cross-country race, the home crowd got a huge thrill when three Russians entered the stadium first, along with Martin Johnsrud Sundby of Norway. Alexander Legkov won the race by 0.7 seconds, while Maxim Vylegzhanin beat out Ilia Chernousov in the photo finish for second, and both beat out Sundby to end the Games with a Russian sweep. The race is currently airing on NBC, and I'm hoping for an epic call from Chad Salmela. Of some intrigue was that American Noah Hoffman was up with the leaders for much of the race, but he ran out of gas in the final 7.5 km and fell back to 26th.
Medal Count Russia's big final day means they win the medal count, any way you slice it. They won the most total medals with 33 and the most gold medals with 13. The United States took 2nd in total medals with 28, but fourth in golds with 9. Here's the top 10 and some other notables:
1. Russia 33 (13 G, 11 S, 9 B)
2. United States 28 (9 G, 7 S, 12 B)
3. Norway 26 (11 G, 5 S, 10 B)
4. Canada 25 (10 G, 10 S, 5 B)
5. Netherlands 24 (8 G, 7 S, 9 B)
6. Germany 19 (8 G, 6 S, 5 B)
7. Austria 17 (4 G, 8 S, 5 B)
8. France 15 (4 G, 4 S, 7 B)
9. Sweden 15 (2 G, 7 S, 6 B)
10. Switzerland 11 (6 G, 3 S, 2 B)
Others of Note:
China 9 (3 G, 4 S, 2 B)
Italy 8 (0 G, 2 S, 6 B)
Belarus 6 (5 G, 0 S, 1 B)
Poland 6 (4 G, 1 S, 1 B)
Finland 5 (1 G, 3 S, 1 B)
Great Britain 4 (1 G, 1 S, 2 B)
Australia 3 (0 G, 2 S, 1 B)
Some Notes:
- Team USA's medal distribution by sport: Freestyle skiing 7, Snowboarding 5, Alpine Skiing 5, Bobsled 4, Figure Skating 2, Skeleton 2, Hockey 1, Short Track 1, Luge 1
- The USA's 28 medals is the most ever for us in a Winter Olympics not held in North America.
- Of the Netherlands 24 total medals, 23 of them came in long track speed skating. The other one came in, of course, short track.
- Germany fell from 30 medals in Vancouver to 19 this time around.
- Italy did not win a gold medal for the first time since 1980.
- Belarus wins the best distribution of medals, and all but 1 were gold.
- Doesn't it feel like Finland should have more than that? The crazy thing though is, their gold in cross country skiing is their first Winter gold since 2002.
- Slovakia won just one medal, but at least was gold, won by Anastasiya Kuzmina in biathlon. The other one medal wonder countries were Croatia (one silver) and Kazakhstan (one bronze).
- No country who didn't medal was really a surprise. The largest delegation of a country who didn't medal appears to be Spain, but well, it's Spain.

Gestational Diabetes: Staying Healthy During Pregnancy
Yvette C. Terrie, BSPharm, RPH
Published Online:
Friday, October 5, 2012
Women with gestational diabetes should be proactive about monitoring and maintaining their health.
What Is Gestational Diabetes?
Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that occurs for the first time when a woman is pregnant. This type of diabetes is caused by a change in the way a woman's body responds to the hormone insulin during her pregnancy. This change results in elevated levels of blood sugar, also known as blood glucose.
Gestational diabetes affects an estimated 18% of women during pregnancy. It is important to diagnose and treat gestational diabetes to avoid health complications for you and your baby.
What Are the Risk Factors?
The risk factors commonly associated with an increased chance of developing gestational diabetes include:
• Having a history of gestational diabetes in previous pregnancies
• Being overweight/obese
• Being older than 25 years
• Having a family history of diabetes (especially if a parent or sibling has diabetes)
• If you previously delivered a baby weighing more than 9 pounds
• Having glucose in your urine
• Being African American, Hispanic, Native American, or Asian
• Having "prediabetes," also known as impaired glucose tolerance
How Do I Know if I Have Gestational Diabetes?
If you are at high risk for developing gestational diabetes, your blood glucose levels will likely be checked at your first prenatal visit. The American DiabetesAssociation recommends screening for gestational diabetes at the first prenatal visit for women with known risk factors.
If your blood glucose results are normal, your levels will be checked again between the 24th and 28th weeks of your pregnancy. It is recommended that all pregnant women be screened for gestational diabetes at that time.
What Happens at a Screening?
To screen for gestational diabetes, your doctor will order a glucose challenge screening test. This test requires you to drink a glucose solution and then have your blood drawn an hour after drinking the solution. No fasting is required for this test. If the results are normal, no other tests are done.
If the results are positive, some doctors may order another test called an oral glucose tolerance test. This test is conducted by measuring your fasting blood glucose level, then measuring it again 1, 2, and 3 hours after drinking a glucose drink.
If the results are positive, your doctor will recommend a treatment plan. Treating and managing gestational diabetes is critical to your health and your baby's health.
What Effect Can Gestational Diabetes Have?
Gestational diabetes can increase your chances of delivering a baby weighing more than 9 pounds and increase the need for a cesarean section. In addition, hypertension and preeclampsia occur more commonly in women with gestational diabetes. However, effectively managing and treating gestational diabetes can significantly reduce the likelihood of these complications.
Stick with Your Treatment Plan
To avoid the complications associated with gestational diabetes, it is very important that you monitor and control your blood glucose levels. You also need to receive proper treatment and be screened regularly.
Both you and your baby will be closely monitored throughout your pregnancy. It is very important to adhere to the treatment plan your doctor prescribes to ensure good health for you and your baby. You should discuss any concerns with your doctor.
Staying Healthy
Although it may seem overwhelming and challenging, the majority of women with gestational diabetes are able to successfully control their blood glucose levels and have healthy babies without any complications if they receive proper treatment and routine monitoring. After delivery, most women with gestational diabetes have normal blood glucose levels and no longer require treatment.
The American Diabetes Association recommends that women who are diagnosed with gestational diabetes be screened for diabetes between 6 and 12 weeks after giving birth. In addition, it is recommended that women with a history of gestational diabetes receive routine screening for the development of diabetes or prediabetes at least every 3 years. Remember the importance of adhering to your therapy if you have gestational diabetes, so you and your baby can enjoy healthy lives.

Here is a workaround to the libc locale exploit in Solaris that should
work until Sun releases an official patch:
This program modifies the Solaris libc by writing a null byte into the
first occurrence of the string "NLSPATH". Basically, it disables NLSPATH
entirely, by changing (within libc)
This is tested on Solaris 2.6 and stops the exploit.
To use it, make a copy of libc and run the program on that copy:
cc -o fix-libc fix-libc.c
cp /usr/lib/libc.so.1 some-file-name
./fix-libc some-file-name
Note that you should only replace libc 'atomically'; if you remove your
existing libc with a shell command, you won't be able to run another shell
command to put a new one in its place. Solaris 'mv' correctly replaces
libc in place, i.e.:
cp /usr/lib/libc.so.1 somewhere-backup-file
mv fixed-libc /usr/lib/libc.so.1
Be careful in any case if you do replace libc!!

Wise sprinkler usage will conserve water while maintaining your attractive lawn.
Water conservation is a top priority on many homesteads. One way to save all you can is to keep a large pitcher near the sink.
Use it to collect ice cubes, leftover water in glasses and water from cooking foods such as pasta, potatoes and hard-boiled eggs. You'll be amazed at how much kitchen water accumulates throughout the day.
After the pitcher is full, the water can be used for potted plants or in your garden — saving the tap water for when it's truly needed.

Yolanda from Speedway and Lisa from Broadway treated me great this morning when I called in. I fired Termagon and now will be using you. Just wanted to let you know they represented Truly Nolen very well and were very professional over the phone. A Technician, Mike, is coming out to my house today to take care of my "scorpion family" I have running all over my house… L and do a termite inspection. Have a great rest of the day!

Brian Harper came to our house today and I must say we were impressed. Two or three years ago we had another company rep do an inspection and he found nothing after a very cursory walk through. His company's protection plan was several "monitoring stations" which seemed rather bogus to me at the time and we did not follow up. Brian was most thorough, knew where to look even if it meant going down on his hands and knees. His expertise and attention to detail along with his service oriented personality are what sold us on your protection and prevention programs. I mentioned to Brian that I first visited Arizona in 1958 and one of my memories of that trip to Phoenix was seeing all the antique Truly Nolen automobiles. Now, 53 years later, we look forward to using your service.

I don't listen to music before I buy it anymore. I don't need to - as long as I'm purchasing it from Amazon. Based on algorithms that crawl my purchasing history, the online retailer knows what I like as well as I do and, dare I say, better than my wife.
A company develops this intimate knowledge by using Big Data to improve the customer experience in an economical and adaptable way. Amazon has integrated this agility into every aspect of its business, from running its warehouses to its revolutionary ability to publish on demand.
Game-changing innovation happens when you simplify everyday processes. But managing a large, traditional application portfolio - however crucial it is to your business - disrupts innovation.
The cloud virtualizes your software, protecting you from the inefficiencies associated with IT. As a result, you spend less time and money introducing and maintaining applications and more resources innovating and advancing your business. Whether you implement a software-designed data center, a hybrid cloud approach or and end-user computing strategy, you're taking the burden off of your own team and into the virtual world.
Conventional application integration is exhausting. Each has to be written, architected and incorporated into the existing structure. Then it must be tested, and tested again. Then you need to install, monitor and archive it, and manage and restore the archives to make sure they work. The whole thing gets complicated fast, so you need specialists who understand the management processes.
Multiply these processes by the thousands - on the high end, healthcare companies typically use 10,000 applications - and it's no wonder IT has a reputation for slowing down business.
More than 80 percent of traditional IT costs are driven by the people and processes involved in managing it. The cloud flips the equation. Eighty to eighty-five percent of the costs instead go toward infrastructure because the cloud automates everything. You're untethering the applications from the computers on which they run.
It's comparable to the impact standardized shipping containers had on modern trade. Every port could work with the same containers, streamlining the process as freighters received and delivered goods across the globe.
The cloud - the virtualized data center - does the same thing with applications. It puts collections of apps in standardized containers, complete with the machines and storage necessary to run them, and automates the management so you're not worrying about things breaking or delivering an unexpected result. Instead of automating thousands of apps individually, you handle entire containers all at once. You can seamlessly move the containers from a damaged machine to a working one. And business goes on.
The ramifications are fundamentally transformative. Innovation speeds up when businesses function unencumbered by the disruptions of traditional IT. Acquiring new technology is no longer a barrier because you're not devoting time to the cycle of writing, architecting, integrating, testing, installing, monitoring, archiving and restoring. You're just creating.
Today you can have a good idea, register as a corporation, get applications, manufacture products and launch an enterprise without leaving your home. The cloud provides global access to the IT necessary to build a business. It's faster, cheaper and lower risk - the three ingredients that propel innovation.
Consider the rise of Netflix. Blockbuster dominated the movie rental business for two decades, making it simple for customers to watch films in their home almost any time they wanted - as long as they were willing to trek to the store.
Netflix took the DVD rental business online and slashed the bottom out of Blockbuster's model. Movies came directly to customers' homes with a reasonably priced monthly subscription and no threat of late fees. As a result, Blockbuster announced last fall it would be shuttering all but 50 franchised stores in the U.S.
But Netflix didn't rest on its laurels. It recognized the threat of iTunes' pioneering streaming business. Netflix bifurcated its model, maintaining its mail-order DVD option while venturing into streaming. It used data gleaned from customers' viewing habits to create original content that aligns with not just what they watch but how they watch. Data revealed viewers liked streaming multiple episodes of TV shows in marathon sessions, prompting Netflix to release in one day entire seasons of dramas such as House of Cards.
This is what the cloud enables. Companies can use technology as a weapon of mass disruption. If you don't take advantage of it, you're at risk of not being able to grow and stay competitive. Rather than let technology happen to you, use it to become the agent of change.
How do you do that?
Software-defined data centers let customers quickly, safely and inexpensively deliver the right applications. A hybrid cloud strategy offers a choice between running applications in a software-defined data center, within the public cloud or another proprietary cloud. And an end-user computing strategy creates a safe, secure and compliant environment for application consumption.
Simplify IT, and you'll unleash innovation.

New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) Filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani is surprised about rumours that his new film "PK" is being delayed. He says he is, in fact, busy scouting for shooting locations for the movie in Delhi and Rajasthan.
Hirani says he is busy with the recce of locations in Delhi, while his team's second unit started shooting almost two weeks back. However, the principal shooting and photography would start in mid-January 2013.
"I have been on location hunt in interiors of Rajasthan and Delhi. Songs are being recorded for 'PK'. All my energies are focused on the film. Nothing has changed. I wanted to capture the winter of Delhi and that's when we start shooting. We are on schedule," Hirani said in a statement.
"Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma join the shooting in mid-January. We would be announcing a young dynamic actor in the second lead in a week's time," he added.

TORONTO - Contrary to popular belief, Ontario voters don't fire their premiers.
It's the biggest misconception voters have about what happens the day after an election, experts say.
Premier Kathleen Wynne and the Liberal government can continue to govern until she resigns or they lose a confidence vote in the legislature. But she has said she won't do that if another party wins the most seats.
If the government of the day wins a majority of seats, they must still go to Ontario's lieutenant-governor — the person who exercises authority of a province on behalf of the Queen, Canada's head of state — and ask to form a new government.
The premier and all the ministers, even if there are no changes from the previous cabinet, must be sworn in by the viceregal, who is the ultimate authority on who forms a government.
If another party wins a majority of seats, the premier typically resigns and requests that the lieutenant-governor allow the leader of the winning party to form a government.
But that doesn't necessarily happen right away. Usually there's a transition period of a few weeks — which is negotiated by both parties — while the new government prepares to take the reins, such as selecting a cabinet.
That was the case in 2003, when the Progressive Conservatives lost to the Liberals.
But if no party wins a majority of the 107 seats — 54 being the key number — things get a bit more complicated.
"If the results are fairly close and if there's any sense that the premier may be able to cobble together a way of staying in power, then it's unlikely that she'd offer her resignation," said Graham White, politics professor at the University of Toronto.
If a party wins a plurality of seats but falls short of a majority, they must still ask the lieutenant-governor to form a government. As always, it's up to the viceregal to make that decision, based on whether the lieutenant-governor believes they can command the confidence of the legislature.
Minority governments aren't as stable as majorities, as they don't have enough seats to have the power to control the outcome of votes. Every time there's a confidence vote — such as a budget — there's a chance they may not be able to prevail, unless they can win the support of more members to vote with them.
Governments open a new legislative session with a speech from the throne, read by the lieutenant-governor, which outlines their agenda. It is considered a confidence vote. So if it doesn't pass, it can trigger an election.
But if the other two parties form an alliance, they could convince the lieutenant-governor that they can win the confidence of the legislature and he could allow them to form a government.
It happened in 1985, when the Progressive Conservatives under Frank Miller won the most seats, but didn't have a majority.
The Liberals, who had four fewer seats than the Tories, worked out an accord with the New Democrats, who agreed to support them for two years if they introduced certain NDP policies.
According to legislative records, Miller recalled the legislature June 4 and introduced a throne speech two weeks later. An amendment was added — a motion of non-confidence — and it passed. The house was adjourned.
Aware of the Liberal-NDP accord, Lt.-Gov. John Aird invited the Liberals to form a government. It was not a formal coalition government, as the New Democrats did not have ministers in cabinet.
When the house returned on July 2, the session continued, but with the Liberals in charge.
There are many other variables that can change what happens.
The minority government may decide to tone down a partisan agenda in a throne speech or budget to win the support of one of the other parties.
Or it may decide to go full steam ahead knowing it could be rejected by both opposition parties, paving the way for another election or possibly an alliance to defeat the governing party.
The two opposition parties could also register their disapproval of a throne speech or budget without bringing down the government by abstaining from the crucial vote. It allows the bill to pass and avoids another costly election or power struggle.
If a party boots its leader after failing to win the election, it may want to buy some time to choose a new one before trying to bring the minority government down.
It's all part of the complicated math of another minority government.

In D.C., Running on Natural Gas
As a resident of Washington, D.C., I have the privilege of griping about the state of our nation's capital. However, I have recently noticed several D.C. government vehicles that are fueled using natural gas, and I have to say – I think they're pretty cool.
My colleagues on Pike's Smart Transportation team have done research on natural gas vehicles, but it wasn't until my colleague Lisa Jerram began researching her latest report on total cost of ownership for fleets – including natural gas vehicles – that I appreciated why a city would consider alternative fuel vehicles. Then, I started noticing government natural gas vehicles all over the city.
Since existing natural gas infrastructure is limited, and many natural gas vehicle fleet operators choose to install compressed natural gas infrastructure onsite, the low fueling costs typically make up for the high capital expenditure. According to the U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Cities group, October 2011 prices for compressed natural gas were $2.09 per gasoline gallon equivalent (gge). Compare those prices to gasoline ($3.46) or diesel ($3.42) and it's easy to see why cities that are concerned about air quality and operating budgets might take the long view and decide to build fleets around natural gas.
Considering that the United States will likely have a surplus of natural gas for the next 20 years – and the fact that the country is unlikely to be able to export the entirety of that surplus since natural gas export infrastructure has not been upgraded in recent years – natural gas prices will either stay steady or decrease over time. What's more important in this case is the price of natural gas compared to alternatives such as diesel and gasoline. As the DOE October 2011 prices indicate, the differences between the fuels is large enough and will likely remain consistent enough to make natural gas fleets appealing.
