Incentive-based policies have been shown to be powerful in many areas of behavior, but have rarely been tested in the sexual domain. The Rewarding Sexually Transmitted Infection Prevention and Control in Tanzania (RESPECT) study is a randomized controlled trial testing the hypothesis that a system of rapid feedback and positive reinforcement that uses cash as the primary incentive can be used to reduce risky sexual activity among young people, male and female, who are at high risk of HIV infection. ... Vea más + The study enrolled 2,399 participants in 10 villages in rural southwest Tanzania. The intervention arm received conditional cash transfers that depended on negative results of periodic screenings for sexually transmitted infections, an objectively measured marker for risky sexual behavior. The intervention arm was further divided into two subgroups, one receiving a high value payment of up to $60 over the course of the study ($20 payments every four months) and the other receiving a lower value payment of up to $30 ($10 payments every four months). At the end of the one year of intervention, the results showed a significant reduction in sexually transmitted infections in the group that was eligible for the $20 payments every four months, but no such reduction was found for the group receiving the $10 payments. The effects were stronger among the lower socioeconomic and higher risks groups. The results of a post-intervention follow-up survey conducted one year after discontinuing the intervention indicate a sustained effect among males, but not among females. Ver menos -

Young people (10-24 years of age), around the world face tremendous challenges to meeting their sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs. Inadequate access to health information and services, as well as inequitable gender norms, contributes to a lack of knowledge and awareness about puberty, sexuality, and basic human rights. ... Vea más + This can have serious implications on young peoples health and welfare as well economic development and poverty reduction. Given the importance of ASRH within the context of development as well as the paucity of data on the issue, the WBG conducted a global analysis and country case studies in order to: (i) gain a deeper understanding of the multi-sectoral determinants of ASRH outcomes; (ii) explore further the multi-sectoral supply and demand-side determinants of access, utilization, and provision of services relevant to identified ASRH outcomes; and (iii) identify multi-sectoral programmatic and policy options to address critical constraints to improving ASRH outcomes that can inform WBG lending operations and policy dialogue.

The Mali Strengthening Reproductive Health Project aims at improving womens access to and use of quality reproductive health services, and accelerating progress towards the Millennium Development Goals that fall due in 2015. ... Vea más + The changes include the scaling back of activities, the cancellation of approximately SDR 2.5 million (US$5 million equivalent taking into account the exchange rate fluctuation), and the reallocation of the remaining funds. Approximately US$2.84 million in activities are identified for scaling back and reallocation as follows: (a) reduction in the funding for the proposed health voucher scheme (category 3 by SDR 420,000) to reflect the length of time remaining for project implementation; (b) reduction in project management cost/scope; (c) reduction in the scope of technical assistance to strengthen solidarity funds; (d) reduction in funding for annual population coalition conferences, again to reflect the limited timeframe; (e) reduction in funding for the proposed health facility surveys; and (f) reduction in the financing for RBF impact evaluation.

Adolescents around the world face tremendous challenges to meeting their sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs. Inadequate access to health information and services, as well as inequitable gender norms, contribute to a lack of awareness about puberty, sexuality, and basic human rights that can have serious implications on their health and welfare throughout the rest of their lives. ... Vea más + These underlying factors lead to high rates of early pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), sexual violence, and early and forced marriage globally. Research has found that adolescence is a profound and complex stage of life that influences future health outcomes, attitudes, and behaviors. Using a life course-perspective requires understanding the relationships between early childhood health and development and its effect on adolescence; the importance of biological changes, cultural traditions, and social norms associated with puberty; as well as the influence that social determinants have on adolescents up-take of health-related behaviors. To improve and promote adolescent health, development and well-being, it is also important to acknowledge the broader policies and environment in which they live, learn, work, and form relationships (Sawyer 2012).

This report examines the prevalence and the factors associated with varioustypes of violence against women and girls in South Asia (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka). ... Vea más + The report also highlights the gaps where intensive research or interventions might be undertaken. Its focus, themes, and organization, as well as its content and analyses, have benefited greatly from consultation, guidance, and direct inputs from experts in the public, nongovernmental organization (NGO), private, donor, and research sectors of South Asia. The number and intensity of efforts to address violence in the region are truly impressive and yield promising practices for future action. Important challenges remain, however, particularly the need for more rigorous evaluation and the urgency for actors to engage across forms of violence and to more systematically involve men and boys in addressing this violence. Different stakeholders have distinct roles to play if the region is to make progress in violence prevention and response, including increased funding of programs and evaluations. On the whole, strengthening the effectiveness, reach, and sustainability of interventions will involve multifaceted coordination across all actors on the ground. This book offers evidence-based recommendations for these actors and for coordination among them. This report is one component of the World Bank's regional program, launched in January 2013, to attend to issues of gender-based violence in its operations, analytics, and collaborative work with other practitioners in South Asia.

This brief summarizes the updates from the 2014 paper entitled, Women's Empowerment in Action: Evidence from a Randomized Control Trial in Africa, conducted between between June and September 2008 in Uganda. ... Vea más + The study observed how women in developing countries are disempowered relative to their contemporaries in developed countries. High youth unemployment and early marriage and childbearing interact to limit human capital investment and enforce dependence on men. In this paper, we evaluate an attempt to jump-start adolescent womens empowerment in the worlds second youngest country: Uganda. In this two-pronged intervention, adolescent girls are simultaneously provided vocational training and information on sex, reproduction, and marriage. Relative to adolescents in control communities, after two years the intervention raises the likelihood that girls engage in income generating activities by 72 percent (mainly driven by increased participation in self-employment) and raises their monthly consumption expenditures by 41 percent. Teen pregnancy falls by 26 percent and early entry into marriage/cohabitation falls by 58 percent. Strikingly, the share of girls reporting sex against their will drops from 14 percent to almost half that level and preferred ages of marriage and childbearing both move forward. The findings indicate that womens economic and social empowerment can be jump-started through the combined provision of vocational and life skills and is not necessarily held back by insurmountable constraints arising from binding social norms.

This brief summarizes the updates from the 2014 paper entitled, Rewarding Provider Performance to Enable a Healthy Start to Life : Evidence from Argentina's Plan Nacer, conducted between between 2004-2008 in Argentina. ... Vea más + The study observed how Argentina's Plan Nacer provides insurance for maternal and child health care to uninsured families. The program allocates funding to provinces based on enrollment of beneficiaries and adds performance incentives based on indicators of the use and quality of maternal and child health care services and health outcomes. The provinces use these resources to pay health facilities to provide maternal and child health care services to beneficiaries. This paper analyzes the impact of Plan Nacer on birth outcomes. The analysis uses data from the universe of birth records in seven Argentine provinces for 2004 to 2008 and exploits the geographic phasing in of Plan Nacer over time. The paper finds that the program increases the use and quality of prenatal care as measured by the number of visits and the probability of receiving a tetanus vaccine. Beneficiaries probability of low birth-weight is estimated to be reduced by 19 percent. Beneficiaries have a 74 percent lower chance of in-hospital neonatal mortality in larger facilities and approximately half this reduction comes from preventing low birth weight and half from better postnatal care. The analysis finds that the cost of saving a disability-adjusted life year through the program was $814, which is highly cost-effective compared with Argentinas $6,075 gross domestic product per capita over this period. Although there are small negative spillover effects on prenatal care utilization of non-beneficiary populations in clinics covered by Plan Nacer, no spillover is found on their birth outcomes.

Although child mortality rates have declined all across the developing world over the past 40 years, they have declined the most in the Middle East and North Africa region. ... Vea más + This paper documents this remarkable experience and shows that it is broad based in the sense that all countries in the Middle East and North Africa experienced significant declines in child mortality over this period and each country did better than most of its comparators. In looking for the sources of the regions performance edge, the paper confirms the importance of such determinants of child mortality as income growth, education stock, public spending on health, urbanization, and food sufficiency. In addition, the paper establishes that the initial level of mortality has a substantial influence on the pace of subsequent child mortality decline. Of these factors, food sufficiency status is found to contribute to the regions performance edge over all developing regions, while the other factors are found to matter to varying degrees in selected pairwise regional comparisons.

This paper analyzes the level and trends in inequality of opportunity among Egyptian children during the 2000s. The analysis uses severall tools, including comparison of the distributions of early risks and outcomes across circumstance groups; estimation of the human opportunity index; measurement of the relative contributions of circumstances to inequality of opportunity; and decomposition of changes in inequality of opportunity and factors driving them over time. ... Vea más + Egypt has made significant progress in the availability of and access to basic services for children and mothers, in some cases with an overall pro-poor effect. In particular, appreciable improvements have been made in healthcare utilization before and during pregnancy and immunizations. As a result, there has been a decline in inequality of opportunity over the past decade, largely attributable to increased coverage by basic services rather than through redistributive effects. However, there are areas of persistent and emerging concerns, including postnatal care utilization, nutrition, and schooling. Nutrition indicators have deteriorated during the 2000s, affecting a quarter of children regardless of their circumstances. Wide disparities in school enrollment persist, notably at the higher levels. Large regional disparities in access to basic infrastructure exist, with Upper Egypt and the Frontier Governorates lagging the rest of the country. Family background, especially parents' education and wealth, and geographic factors are key factors affecting child development outcomes in Egypt. While interventions targeted at the less advantaged circumstance groups may offer significant potential for enhancing overall equity in postnatal care utilization and schooling, a more inclusive approach would be needed to improve child nutrition outcomes.

Congo's current growth trend is lower than the projected rate of growth in the 2012-2016 National Development Plan (NDP). Congo should continue investing intensively but more efficiently in infrastructure, an urgent need. ... Vea más + Ample evidence shows that investment efficiency in infrastructure is critical for economic development. Given the importance of this issue for the future growth trajectory of the country, the second part of the update focuses on efficient investment in infrastructure. By focusing on improving government efficiency, the Republic of Congo would be well positioned to achieve sustained and diversified growth, rather than continuing on the current path that is largely driven by higher levels of public investment. The Congolese government can achieve better public investment outcomes by implementing sound public financial management policies in these areas. These include better preparation and planning of investment projects, introduction of systems-based commitment of reform in the procurement and disbursement system to speed up the processes and make them more transparent.

This brief summarizes the results of a gender impact evaluation study, entitled preventing child marriage : lessons from World Bank Group (WBG) gender impact evaluations (IEs). ... Vea más + Child marriage is closely linked to poverty and girls' educational opportunities. Across 18 of the 20 countries with the highest prevalence of child marriage, girls with no education are up to six times more likely to marry than girls with a secondary education. Girls living in poorer households are almost twice as likely to marry before the age of 18, compared with girls in higher-income households. Drawing on results from seven IEs supported by the WBG, this brief highlights lessons learned about what works to delay age of marriage and reduce child marriage. Effective programs will ultimately increase girls' educational attainment, increase girls' value and opportunities in society, and reduce poverty. Promising interventions are beginning to address the drivers of child marriage. However, more rigorous and long-term IEs are needed to better understand intervention components and delivery mechanisms that are effective in preventing child marriage. Ver menos -

Gender equality cannot be achieved until women have control over their sexual and reproductive health (SRH) decisions, including those that determine their risk for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and for unintended, inadequately spaced, and early pregnancies. ... Vea más + Drawing on lessons from seven impact evaluations (IEs) supported by the World Bank Group (WBG), this brief highlights lessons learned about strengthening SRH interventions to support womens achievement of their own reproductive intentions. These IEs indicate that implementing comprehensive, interactive interventions in schools and community settings, increasing access to education for girls, and promoting girls empowerment and agency offer promise in improving SRH outcomes, particularly among adolescents. However, more rigorous and long-term impact evaluations are needed to better understand how to effectuate sustainable impacts on these outcomes, especially adolescent childbearing. Ver menos -

Malawi has made great progress in improving maternal and child health (MCH). Under-five mortality declined from 244 to 71 deaths per 1,000 live births between 1990 and 2012, and maternal mortality declined from 1,100 to 510 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births between 1990 and 2013. ... Vea más + This note explores the actions Malawi has taken to reduce child and maternal mortality, focusing on policies and programs implemented since the 1990s. Malawi is a low-income country with a per capita GNI (PPP) of US$ 650 in 2011, and an average GNI growth rate of 3.8 percent (2002-11). Nearly half of its population of 15.3 million is under age 14 and the majority live in rural areas. Poverty is high with 62 percent living on less than US$ 1.25 a day. As of 2010, female labor force participation was 52 percent, with the majority employed in the informal sector. The primary school completion rate is approximately 70 percent with near gender parity, but enrollment drops sharply at the secondary school level to 33 percent for girls and 36 percent for boys.

Countries around the world increasingly rely on conditional cash transfers to boost health and education outcomes for the poorest citizens. In developing and middle income countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, cash transfer programs are proving effective in a range of areas, including as an incentive to get more girls in school. ... Vea más + In the Philippines, the World Bank teamed up with the Government of the Philippines in 2007 to develop the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, a conditional cash transfer program for the poor. An impact evaluation was built into the program to measure the effect. Based on the evidence, the Government of the Philippines has increased the cash transfer amount for older students and expanded the program to include children ages 15 to18, who were not previously covered. As policy makers and development experts continue to search for innovative ways to help the worlds poor, the findings from this evaluation will provide much-needed evidence for designing increasingly effective programs.

Much has been written about the ongoing efforts by globalists and the international establishment to centralize political and economic power. From the European Union, the African Union and the Union of South American States all the way to the United Nations, would-be transnational authorities are fervently seeking to consolidate and expand their power over increasingly large swaths of humanity. At the same time, though, with citizens becoming increasingly weary of being ruled by far-away, unaccountable forces, secession movements around the world are exploding.
Research shows that officially atheist Communist China is on track to become the world's most Christian nation in the next 15 years.
Under the guise of advancing "global governance" over the Internet by so-called stakeholders — including, of course, governments, autocrats, and international organizations such as the United Nations — the radical Brazilian government brought together key players for the "NETmundial" summit last week. Well aware that any obvious plot to advance UN control over the World Wide Web would be a non-starter among Americans and the West, however, participants sought to conceal the real agenda in the final agreement behind innocent-sounding language. They failed.
Winston Churchill might have been voted the greatest Englishman ever in 2008, but quoting him in 2014 can get you arrested — as the leader of the U.K.'s Liberty GB party learned the hard way.
Before being sanitized by a "ghostwriter" who now works in the Obama administration, the recently released original manuscript of South African revolutionary Nelson Mandela's autobiography exposed the widely celebrated figure as a self-proclaimed violent enemy of "democracy." The first Long Walk to Freedom manuscript also reveals Mandela's little-known support of violence and terror to advance communism. Largely ignored thus far, the document paints a picture of Mandela that is entirely at odds with the myths of a peace-loving political prisoner propagated by the establishment, communists, and the Western media.

I have always loved Paul! I am happy to hear I am not alone. I went to school with a handsome guy from Brazil named Paulo (swoon!) That probably increased my admiration for the name.
I don't know if I could ever convince my husband to use it. He thinks it sounds like someone's elderly uncle (sigh).
Go for Paul or Paulo!

It was my granddad's English middle name (Hebrew name was totally unrelated, just a P name) and I really cannot warm to Paul at all. When I think about naming for him, I think Pascoe or Peregrine or Patrick. Or amusing him in heaven - he was a joker - with something like Peacemaker.
Paul feels too Christian for me, really. It seems like a trying-to-pass name to imagine putting on my own kid. I think it was, in the '30s when my granddad was born - I'm not really with that. It doesn't go back any further in my family tree then that, either.
I do like Saul. Could all just be a matter of what you're used to.
I kinda like Pax - so I can see gravitating towards a one-syllable name with more history. I can understand Paul's draw for some, it just doesn't quite work for me. Maybe I need to focus on images of a young Paul Newman?

What can I use to write and compile javascript? Can Dreamweaver UltraDev do this?
Hi Stewart,
Since javascript is an interpreted language (except for some pseudo-compiling done by IE), I would be very surprised if you find a compiler.
Dreamweaver, from what I've heard, will help you write javascript code, but like other WYSIWYG editors, it will also heap loads of useless and redundant code onto your page.
In other words, any ASCII editor will do. I, for example, use Notepad, cuteHTML, and occasionally Front Page Express -- all of which are free.
You can't compile javascript, it's impossible. There are encryption scripts though.

Encrypt scripts are about as good as noRightClick scripts and putting 5000 carriage returns at the beginning of the html page -- in other words, they are not worth the effort and are definitely not to be used for anything that really needs to be secure.

ABSTRACT The orthodontic correction of deep overbite can be achieved with several mechanisms that will result in true intrusion of anterior teeth, extrusion of posterior teeth, or a combination of both. For the orthodontic correction of bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion with deep bite, there are several treatment modalities like segmented arch approach, retraction and intrusion utility arches, temporary anchorage devices. Though not a novel therapeutic concept, the use of miniscrew implants to obtain absolute anchorage has recently become very popular in clinical orthodontic approaches. To allow the use of sliding mechanics for bodily retraction with intrusion of anterior teeth, we devised a soldered power arm (SPA) on standard molar tube. It is simple, stable, precise and effective in cases where anterior teeth need to be simultaneously retracted and intruded. A power arm can be readily fabricated from 20 gauge stainless steel wire and soldered on the molar buccal tube so as to avoid any distortion or loosening of power arm from molar tube during the course of the treatment. The SPA works efficiently with the molar being stabilized in all three planes of space. The resultant force vector is directed more apically toward the center of resistance of the anchor unit, which resulted in the treatment outcome of retraction and intrusion of the anterior teeth and correction of the deep bite.

ABSTRACT The anteroposterior discrepancy is usually of utmost concern to patients and parents and hence has received maximum attention in orthodontics. A number of analyses have been proposed over the years with varying degrees of reliability and success in assessing sagittal jaw relationships. It is absolutely essential that a clinician be aware of a range of analyses to be used in different situations. This review provides an insight into the various cephalometric methods used for evaluation of the anteroposterior jaw relationship in chronologic order and their clinical implications in contemporary orthodontics.

Fixed functional appliances have gained the popularity for growth modification in noncompliant patients, especially hybrid types. But for this,
clinicians have to depend on certain commercially available appliances; otherwise components required in fabrication of hybrid type appliances
are not routinely available in clinics, which discourage their, use. Additionally, these preformed appliances have less scope in changing their
length as per patient's requirement of particular mandibular advancement. This article explains the chairside fabrication of open coil NiTi spring
loaded hybrid type fixed functional appliance named 'Vibhute Class II Correction Appliance' (VCCA). This custom-made tinier and hygienic
design provides stable fixation, less breakages with increased range of mandibular movement involving unrestricted mouth opening. VCCA
permits quick chairside fabrication with ease in installation of appliance and is inexpensive.

This case report describes the treatment of a 23-year-old female with severe bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion and missing left mandibular first
molar. Her chief concern was significant facial convexity. Generally treatment plan of such cases involves extraction of first premolars but
absence of first molar complicates situation with problem of space management, anchorage requirement and post-treatment occlusion. This
case report introduces thought provoking treatment approach of selecting atypical teeth for orthodontic extraction without compromising the
quality of treatment outcomes. However, three first bicuspids were extracted while the mandibular left second premolar was distalized into the
missing molar space and used as an abutment for replacement of the missing first molar by prosthesis. Despite the unusual asymmetric
extraction of teeth, superimposition of the pretreatment and post-treatment cephalometric tracings shows excellent treatment outcomes and
reduction of facial convexity by maximum retraction of the anterior teeth.
Keywords: Atypical orthodontic extraction, Missing mandibular molar, Bimaxillary dentoalvelar protrusion.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of ligation method on friction and the efficacy of the new slick elastomeric modules (TP Orthodontics, USA) and slide
elastomeric modules (Leone Orthodontics, Italy) which claim to reduce friction at the module/wire interface.
Materials and methods: Slick and slide modules were compared with regular modules, modules tied in figure of eight fashion, tight stainless
steel ligatures, and loose stainless steel ligatures. Brackets used for the study were 0.022" × 0.028" maxillary first premolar twin brackets (MBT
Prescription, Gemini series, 3M Unitek USA.) The effect of bracket width on friction produced with four different methods of ligation was also
studied using 0.022" × 0.028" maxillary first premolar single width brackets (Alexander prescription, Leone Co. Italy).
Results: When considering tooth movement along a 0.019" × 0.025" in stainless steel archwire, Super slick module produce less friction when
compared to regular module, module tied in 'figure of 8' pattern and tight SS ligation produced more friction when compared to loose SS ligation
and slide module. Slide modules produce least friction when compared to other available methods of ligation. Modules tied in a 'figure of 8'
pattern generate highest friction.
Conclusion: Slide modules produce least friction followed by loose SS ligation, slick modules, regular modules, tight SS ligation and highest
friction was produced by regular modules tied in a 'figure of 8' pattern. Width of bracket had no influence on friction produced.
Keywords:Bracket archwire interface, Friction, Method of ligation.

Adequate retention of a finished orthodontic patient can be the difference between a successful or an unsuccessful treatment. The acrylic portion
of the conventional Hawley's appliance causes a reduced compliance in many orthodontic patients. In an attempt to overcome the drawbacks

Maxillary midline diastema is commonly occurring malocclusion. Variety of treatment modalities are suggested for the management of
diastema. This article presents a case report in which 14-year-old female patient was treated for the maxillary midline diastema of size 3 mm
after extraction of supernumerary tooth between upper central incisors. The index of orthodontic treatment was mild (Grade 2). MBT 0.022''
brackets were bonded on the maxillary central incisors. M spring was fabricated, activated and ligated initially with round archwire followed
by rectangular archwire. Successful closure of diastema was seen with total treatment duration of 4 months. This method is efficient,
effective, require less inventory. This saves precious chairside time of orthodontics and reduces treatment duration as well.

ABSTRACT Various intra and extracranial cephalometric horizontal reference planes have been used to formulate diagnosis and plan individualized treatment for an integrated correction of the malocclusion. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate variability of intracranial reference planes, i.e sella-nasion, basion-nasion, Frankfurt horizontal, functional occlusal, mandibular and maxillary-mandibular bisector planes, in relation to the true horizontal plane in natural head position and their relationship to each other. Materials and methods: For the present study, 100 subjects (50 males and 50 females) were selected between the age group of 17 and 25 years having pleasing profile with competent lips with Angle's Class I molar relationship and normal overjet and overbite with no history of taking any form of orthodontic treatment. Results: The data collected was statistically analyzed. Pearson's correlation coefficient to quantify the strength of association between the pairs of angular variables was calculated. Their significance, i.e. p-value was set at p < 0.001. Reproducibility for natural head position over a 2-month period was quantified by measuring the difference between the variable Frankfurt horizontal/ true horizontal at initial (T1) and second (T2) recordings of the randomly selected subjects (n = 10). Significance for statistical test was set at p < 0.05. The results inferred on studying the data for intraindividual natural head position reproducibility was that the reproducibility was less variable (more reliable) than the interindividual variability of craniofacial reference planes related to horizontal plane. Conclusion: Among all the reference planes studied, the Frankfurt horizontal plane was closest to the true horizontal and thus could be recommended as a reference plane, when radiographs were not recorded in natural head position.

Natasha Tate Forbidden to His Touch
Your original file link
Natasha Tate
February 2012
Trapped by desire for the one woman he can't touch…Rafael Chaves is a man tortured by his gut-wrenching past and tempted by a future he dares not even dream about. Knowing he'll never deserve the only woman he's ever wanted, Rafael will make sure she stays as far away from him as possible. But when Sophia Turino, daughter of the man who raised him from the gutter, stands before him seven years later she's even harder to resist – confident, successful, and as intoxicatingly beautiful as ever. It's time for Rafael to obliterate his darkly powerful infatuation…

Originally written on Roto Rankings | Last updated 11/4/14
HOTQB Ryan Fitzpatrick –After getting a vote of confidence from Chan Gailey, saying they will ride with Fitzpatrick until they 'develop' a quarterback of the future and not necessarily look to replace him; maybe that will boost his confidence and thus performance this week vs. the Jags. Jacksonville allows the 10thmost fantasy points, 5th most completions and 5th most passing yards to QB's. 2 weeks ago Jax got shredded by Schaub for 527 yards and 5 TD's.Matt Schaub –Schaub is on a roll of late. Over his last two games he's averaged 421 passing yards and 3 TD's. This week he faces the Titans who allow more fantasy points to QB's than his last two opponents (Jax and Det).Honorable mention: Brandon Weeden – Oakland gives up 2nd most fantasy points and most passing TD's to QB's.RBKnowshon Moreno –It's good to be a veteran running back on a John Fox team and even greater to have Peyton Manning as your QB. After a surprise start last week Moreno ran for 85 yards on 20 touches and caught 4 balls for 26 yards. This week the Broncos face the Bucs and they have allowed the fewest rushing yards to date of any defense in the league. However, that doesn't scare me when Manning is your QB. He will check in and out of runs and provide many opportunities to catch swing, hook and screen passes. Tampa has allowed the 5th most receptions to RB's. Moreno is an RB2 in PPR and solid flex in standard leagues.Jonathan Dwyer –Tomlin has come out and said that Dwyer is his guy. He's knocked Mendenhall down to 3rd on the depth chart. This week he'll be asked to help Charlie Batch keep the Steelers in a big divisional game against the Ravens. The Ravens have allowed the 5thmost rushing yards to date. 2 weeks ago Dwyer averaged 4.6 yards per carry against the Ravens and caught 3 balls while splitting duties.Honorable mentions: Michael Turner (goal line dependent) and Jacquizz Rodgers – Saints allow most fantasy points to RB's.WRPierre Garcon – Last week Garcon caught 4 balls for 86 yards and a TD. This week he faces the Giants and he did not play in that game. But RGIII still threw for 258 yards and 2 TD's in that game with his best wideout. The Giants are allowing the 5thmost fantasy points and the most receiving TD's to WR's.Ryan Broyles – Last week Broyles amassed a massive 12 targets catching 6 for 126 yards. This week he will start opposite Megatron and benefit from the attention he garners. With Titus Young out of favor with the team Broyles is a sneaky WR3 and has sweet upside in PPR leagues. This week the Lions face the Colts and they allow the 5th most fantasy points and tied for 2nd most receptions to WR's.Honorable mentions: Steve Johnson and Josh GordonTEDallas Clark –In his last two starts he's caught a combined 11 balls for 123 yards and 1 TD. This week he goes up against the Broncos and they allow the most fantasy points, 3rd most receiving yards and tied for most receiving TD's to TE's.Honorable mentions: Martellus Bennett and Ben WatsonNOTQBJosh Freeman –While the Broncos allow the 8th most fantasy points to QB's and you'd figure the Bucs would have to throw to keep pace with Manning in Denver, but the recipe for stopping the Bucs in this game is simple; Put Champ on Vincent Jackson and load the box to stop the Muscle Hamster.Watch out: Robert Griffin III – The Giants are the first team to play RGIII twice, so they have their own tape and principals (gaps and fits) to review and the Giants have the second most interceptions this year. RBAlfred Morris –He was successful in his first meeting with the Giants, rushing for 120 yards on 22 carries back in week 7, but like RGIII that was his first game against the Giants as well. After week 12 the Giants run defense has been allowing the 4th fewest points to RB's. Morris has had only had ONE rushing touchdown in the last FIVE games and eclipsed 100 yards rushing once in the last 4 games.Doug Martin –See Josh Freeman above. Additionally the Broncos allow the 7thfewest fantasy points to RB's.Watch out: BenJarvus Green-Ellis – Traveling out west to face a Chargers team that allows the 9th fewest rushing yards and the 3rd fewest rushing TD's. WRWatch out: Vincent Jackson – Champ Bailey - Poor history when in San Diego.Watch out: Brandon Marshall – "U Mad Bro" – Seattle will get in his head and Marshall will take himself out of the game after they bang and push him around all day.Watch out: Larry Fitzgerald – Traveling East, Lindley at QB and Antonio Cromartie. TEBrandon Myers –The Cleveland Browns allow the fewest fantasy points to TE's. He hasn't topped 60 yards since week 6 and only 3 times all year. This is a matchup to avoid.Watch out: Brandon Pettigrew and Jermaine Gresham.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example t...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...
