As simple as this is:
start writing what you are Thankful for: I am thankful for the shoes on my feet, the hair on my head even the bad hair days b/c it teaches me to have love for myself even if my hair isn't perfect.
Changing the way one sees the world from one of fear, resentment to curious and compassionate.
I am thankful for/because/of/who_____________________
The Who one can "sometime" be a bit harder when there is anger (do it any way, even more crucial now)….
I am thankful for my Mom/Dad because even though she/he made me mad I know she/he loves me and does this to protect me and she/he is teaching me to be self-reliant and to make better choices as I grow into an adult.
Fostering Gratitude will help you:
Sleep well
Thankful for your wonderful body just the way it is, dimple and bumps too
Being grateful helps to find solutions fast vs. get caught up in drama
Protect from Bitterness b/c when you are bitter and resentful it is much harder to learn and be open
Strengthen your immune system and over all physical health

The Beneficial Coupling of Cardioid Low Frequency Sources to the Acoustics of Small Rooms
Most low frequency sources radiate energy in an omni-directional manner. This often leads to unsatisfying results regarding the reproduction of low frequencies in small listening rooms. The influence of different radiation characteristics is investigated concerning the reproduction of low frequencies in a sparsely modal environment. In this paper the room transfer function characteristic of a monopole, a dipole, and a cardioid are compared. The different room mode excitation mechanisms are explained using comparative measurements taken in a reverberation chamber. Furthermore the effect of a single reflective boundary on the low frequency response is simulated. The cardioid turns out to be the more preferable low frequency source for the three types investigated.

ISO: online Rum Cake
- d
- DanInCambridge Mar 6, 2007 08:18 AM
I love the rum cakes I buy while on vaca in the Carribean that come in the tin and they are so moist and dark. I've tried my hand at making my own but haven't found a recipe that comes close and plus I am not much of a baker. So does anyone recommend someplace online where I can get what I am looking for. I've done some quick googling and it appears there are plenty of places to order from, just looking for input before I pick one. Thank you.
I've had this cake many times - delicious - haven't ordered it on line though:
re: MMRuth
Thanks Ruth....I've been wanting to do something special for hubby "just because" and he loves banana and coconut so I've ordered him two of these cakes.
re: MMRuth
Brought home six from Grand Cayman, and everyone was EXTREMELY grateful... and we ordered more. Coconut, plain, and chocolate were the best.
The rums were good too :-)
Do you mean the dark (very rich and moist) rum cake? Tortuga is ia light cake(sort of like a chiffon) that is soaked in rum and butter. Try searching under black cake or caribbean fruit cake. Black cake has candied fruit in it but it is ground up so the texture of the cake is smoother.
re: sweetie
You're right - I'd missed the "dark"' part!
I got a sample for one for the price of postage at http://www.rumcake.com/ that was very moist and delicious. It came in a 4 inch round tin sample size. The Company is Angie's. I'm pretty sure I got the info. from a chowhound in one of the "best cataloge for gifts" to order from during the holidays. It took quite a while to get my sample but well worth the wait, I'd order agian as a gift or for ourselves. Her number is 1-800-322-5452. They're are different choices. The one I got and was reccommened to get was Black something or other, cann't remeber exactly.
I ordered this for a friend and her extended family who are from Jamaica and she said everyone raved about it:
It was very similar to her wedding cake. In terms of making your own, my friend said her wedding cake had been started something like a year in advance.
A good friend of mine recommended the Bacardi rum cakes which are shipped from the Carribbean. I ordered two chocolate decadence rum cakes for the holidays, one for my mom and the other for my boyfriend's mom. Just to make it more exciting- I melted dark chocolate on top and added raspberries. The cake itself is very dense, moist, and definitely rum soaked! My family easily devoured one; my boyfriend's mom and his uncle finished the other... in about five minutes (a large sweet tooth runs in that family). The site is: http://www.bacardirumcake.com/
I'm a Caribbean native and I love black cake. I've tried many different versions of it, but if you're looking online, I really love the one offered at Aunt Eulie's. It's a very small company, but their cake is really authentic, and their reviews are great. You can just google them.
OK, I know this will get me banned from Chowhound, but in moments of desperation, when I didn't feel like turning on the oven, I have been known to soak an Entenmann's sour cream cake in rum and a few hours later ... voila! Halfway-decent rum cake! (especially good with home-made whipped cream).
They used to sell pretty good canned rum cakes at Macy's, but I haven't seen them there in a number of years.
The truth is that they are not that hard to bake, though.
There are a number of recipes at this website (I haven't tried any of them myself)
There are also some rumballs recipes there.

|CD156b is expressed on T cells, neutrophils, endothelial cells, monocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages, polymorphonuclear leukocytes and myocytes. Expression is wide in non-lymphoid tissues including heart, placenta, brain, muscle and is induced in cartilage in arthritis. CD156b is expressed on all cells examined with the pro-domain removed. The processed form, but not the unprocessed form, is downregulated in response to phorbol ester. CD156b is located on the plasma membrane and unidentified intracellular sites. CD156b is induced in the cartilage of arthritis.
|MOLECULAR FAMILY NAME: Belongs to the disintegrain and metalloprotease family.
CD156b is a single-pass type-1 824 aa transmembrane glycoprotein. It contains a 17 aa secretory signal sequence, an extracellular domain which contains an 18-214 aa pro-domain that is cleaved before the molecule becomes catalytically active, a 215-473 aa catalytic (zinc-dependent metalloprotease) domain, a 474-671 aa disintegrin-cysteine-rich domain, and 6 potential N-linked glycosylation sites, a 672-694 aa transmembrane domain and a 695-824 aa cytoplasmic domain. CD156b is a multi-domain protein that includes a Zn-dependent protease domain in the extracellular portion. It releases the soluble forms of TNF and TGFa from cells. CD156b was identified by its ability to cleave the transmembrane form of TNF between Ala-76 and Val-77 to generate the soluble form.
Alternative splicing yields 2 different isoforms. CD156b has an alternatively spliced message, which encodes a form lacking virtually the entire cytoplasmic domain has been identified.
CD156b has 6 N-linked glycosylation sites in the catalytic and disintegrin-cysteine-rich domains. The pro-domain is removed primarily by a cleavage after Arg-214.
|Membrane TNFα and TGFα are substrates for CD156b.
LIGANDS AND MOLECULES ASSOCIATED WITH CD156b
|CD156b cleaves transmembrane forms of TNFα and TGFα to generate soluble forms. As TNFα is a major mediator of inflammation and CD156b has a major role in inflammation and CD156b is essential for its release from cells. In all situations studied, CD156b is present on the cell surface constitutively but the amount on the surface decreases markedly after cells have been exposed to phorbol ester for about an hour. The cells of CD156b bear a deletion in the catalytic domain release TNFα, TGFa, and a number of other proteins very inefficiently. CD156b knockout mice display several phenotypes in common with those observed in mice lacking TGFa. It is also found to release the soluble form of this factor. It appears to shed a number of proteins as well, including L-selectin and the p75 TNF receptor, in at least some circumstances. The functions of its disintegrin-cysteine-rich domain between the catalytic domain and the membrane and its cytoplasmic domain are not known.
Members of the ADAM family are structurally related to snake venom disintegrins and have been implicated in a variety of biological processes involving cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, including fertilization, muscle development and neurogenesis. The protein encoding CD156b functions as a TNF-α converting enzyme, binds mitotic arrest deficient 2 protein and also plays a prominent role in the activation of the Notch signaling pathway.
The primary protease releases the soluble forms of TNFα and TGFa from cells.
DISEASE RELEVANCE AND FUNCTION OF CD156b IN INTACT ANIMAL
Perinatal lethality is observed in the majority of mice homozygous for a targeted mutation that deletes a region of CD156b that is critical for catalytic activity. Deletion of a catalytic domain causes perinatal death. Several phenotypes observed in CD156b-deficient mice resemble those observed in mice homozygous for naturally occurring or targeted mutations in TGFa, 1 of 6 known ligands for the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Although TGFa deficiency does not result in perinatal lethality, targeted mutations in EGFR result in embryonic lethality due to a number of epithelial lineage defects. Similar epithelial lineage defects are observed in CD156b-deficient fetuses. CD156b is essential for the release of TNF which is a critical mediator of inflammation. The potential role for CD156b in inflammation in generating soluble TNFα in vivo, has not been directly tested due to the perinatal lethality of the deletion. Expression by chondrocytes in arthritic joints may release TNF, exacerbating disease. CD156b is a possible target for anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritis therapeutics.
PROTEINS AND DNA ELEMENTS WHICH REGULATE TRANSCRIPTION OF CD156b: No information.
ENZYMES WHICH MODIFY CD156b: No information.
CD156b-mediated shedding is stimulated by a variety of agents including phorbol esters, but the mechanism of upregulation is unknown. It has been hypothesized that the disintegrin domain has an adhesive function with respect to other cells, extracellular matrix, or substrates.

WASHINGTON – A judge has set today as the start date for the assault trial of singer Chris Brown in the nation's capital.
During a brief court appearance Friday in which he wore a suit and tie, Brown turned to wave and salute supporters in the courtroom including his mother and the rapper Bow Wow.
The case that begins today is significant for the Grammy winner not only because he faces up to six months in jail but also because if convicted he could face additional penalties, including jail time, as a result of an earlier case from California. At the time he was arrested in Washington, Brown was on probation in Los Angeles for an attack on his then-girlfriend, the singer Rihanna, in 2009.
Brown entered anger management rehab at a California facility shortly after his Washington arrest, but he was dismissed from it in mid-March for violating its rules. He was then jailed and has been in custody since.
Besides giving Brown a trial date Friday, D.C. Superior Court Judge Patricia Wynn had been expected to rule in the assault trial of Brown's bodyguard, Christopher Hollosy.
But Wynn delayed giving her verdict, saying she needed more time before ruling. That is expected today, followed by the start of Brown's trial.
Both Brown and Hollosy are facing a misdemeanor assault charge in the same October skirmish in which a Maryland man accused them of punching him outside a Washington hotel.

The pilot had been flying in the traffic pattern before landing, shutting down, and subsequently taking on a passenger for a short flight. Witnesses reported that, after takeoff, the airplane reached an altitude of 500 feet and that the engine then sputtered and lost power. The airplane then turned steeply left and descended rapidly. The airplane partially rolled out of the turn, but the descent rate was not arrested, and the airplane subsequently impacted terrain. Witnesses responded to the accident site and heard the fuel pump operating; however, they did not see or smell fuel in the area. The left wing root fuel valve was found in the "off" position, and the right wing root fuel valve was found nearly in the "off" position. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that both fuel tanks were nearly full with fuel. However, the fuel hoses removed downstream of the fuel valves were found empty. No evidence was found of a mechanical malfunction or failure with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation. If the pilot had performed a preflight or run-up inspection before takeoff, which would have included checking the fuel valve positions, he might have noted that the fuel valves were in the "off" position. The toxicology results indicated the pilot had used lorazepam (an antianxiety medication); however, due to the low levels detected, it is unlikely that it was impairing at the time of the accident. It could not be determined whether the underlying medical condition caused impairment and contributed to the accident.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

I got this order for 200 cozies, my biggest order yet. I called the person who taught me how to screen print and asked if she would have time to make the screen for me but she was too busy. I can make screens but I'm not an expert yet, it's very hit and miss. So I was on my own for the project.
Here are the hurdles I have experienced since starting on them on Saturday.
- Had to run to Fabricland for supplies, red for the interior, ran out of fabric after cutting 98.
- Went to Staples to make the overhead photocopy I needed for screen printing. Had trouble with the copier, which is silly because as a teacher I could have made the 1 copy at school quiet easily. I put 4 designs on it just in case.
- Came back home and set things up, plugged in the halogen light to burn the screen and the bulb blew.
- Trip to Home Depot
- Pulled out a coated screen I've had around for a while and burned it, covering some of the images at intervals to make sure at least 1 of them would turn out well.
- Couldn't rinse the emulsion out of the screen so I tried again.
- Couldn't rinse the screen.
- Had to strip the screens down to start over but was out of the chemicals, trip to Michael's at 8:30pm.
- Came home and coated the 2 screens and rigged up a box covered in a blankie to keep them in the dark while they dried.
Onto Sunday when we had a plans with friends all day.
- Cut the batting fabric I had on hand, only had enough for 102.
- Checked my label inventory, I have 187.
- Massaged my sore forearm muscle while visiting with our friends.
- Came home exhausted and not feeling very well at 11:30pm but burned a screen.
- Washed it out successfully!!! <- a good thing
- Screen was dried and ready to go but had some spots I needed to fill, trip to the art store.
- Cut the fabric for screen printing, ran out at 119!
- Everything is closed!!!!
Sooooo it's all manageable but my oh my it's been a bit of a challenge to get this done. But it'll be worth it for my cozies going into the hands of 200 people!

Balls to the wall. Good or bad. Can't live any other way, since that wouldn't be living ...would it?
Oh, honey. So many asshats, so little time, right? And then to wind up literally feeling fear because of a SOFTWARE GLITCH? Seeiing that they're being sued by a former employee for harassment and discrimination tells me that they've got a frat-house culture going on over there. They likely don't give a flying rat's ass about your issue. Which just goes to show how very clueless they are ...
Even better? This interview where Hopkins talks about his musical history: http://youtu.be/WoshdPpQST0
Together, they're a true treat =)
Nothing like a cancer journey to put one in the way of having a PhD in health literacy. Although, since I advocated for and then managed my 'rents care thru end of life before my cancer adventure, I already had at least a Master's in health literacy prior to my trip thru the health care car wash.
Why isn't "how your body works"-level science curricula on the syllabi of every single classroom, starting in pre-K? If kids are learning sentence structure at 4YO, why not the basics of human health? Like, say, what a common blood test result means? Really. I'm serious. Why not?
High revenue + low transparency = zero trust. Simple math, really. Finance, healthcare, and oil are notoriously high-revenue, low-transparency industries, so not terribly surprising that the public sees them as regulatory targets.
Here's an idea, for all of them: be more open. Open science, open business models, open books. Open hearts? Maybe that would be an inch too far, but the 1st three would put each of these industries closer to the hearts (and minds) of the consumers that form their revenue base ...
You only get what you want by (a) IDing it and (b) working on laying your hands/mind/whatever on it. As the old bromide goes, "wishing doesn't make it so."
We are our own Sanity Clause. Grant your own wishes, bitches.
@Erika Napoletano Doll-baby, we are sisters - well beyond the red-hair thing. On to the weird narwhal identification project!
New favorite phrase: "fall in weird with" - 'cause that IS the only way to ID a partner in crime, innit? I mean, it's nice to have a date, but I'd really rather have someone who might possibly be able to take me as I am, so I can return the favor. Dating sucks ass. Finding another narwhal (yep, totally outing myself there)? Now THAT'S progress toward happy =)
This is SUCH an important topic - one I'm delighted to see these two guys talking about. There is a perceived tension between the two, but I don't see that playing out as anything but ultimate synergy. Population health trends/evidence will deliver personalized medicine insights, personalized medicine will reveal population health insights/ trends. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Wow - that's some powerful mojo.
I've lived a "fail forward daily" mantra myself for a while now, since who really has a choice to do otherwise, if we want to live a fully-authentic, awake life, right? I salute your ability to stop, drop, and roll away from your barriers to connection with yourself and your world.
Methinks you're some kinda powerful when it comes to helping your coaching clients access their own authentic awesome =)
Hey, you'll be living in a 2BR condo, so you won't have to get a snow-blower, right? WIN. Other than that ... Chicago is WONDERFUL. Snowing, blazing hot, windy as hell? Whatever, it's WONDERFUL. I grew up moving all the time (military brat) and miss that sense of "new adventures!" Go have some. Tell us 'bout 'em. You're a "new adventure" expert =)
@belllindsay @ginidietrich I started my TV career as a field recordist - been there, done EXACTLY that. Hidden camera/mic stuff, too.
@ginidietrich not entirely true - granted, the big players will be more tuned in to off the cuff comments, but any real reporter will hear bells when someone says something like your guy did.
I saw the end coming, and it still felt like a punch in the gut. That's something so very Sally-Field-you-LIKE-me! - to have a long day in conversation about a topic you care about, only to shoot yourself in the head, figuratively speaking, at the very last moment. As a former net news engineer and then field producer, I saw this live more than once. And it's a little heartbreaking, even when the subject is a complete jerk.
@Erika Napoletano You've never sunk into the sinkhole as far as I can tell. Whether peeps agree with you or not ... you make 'em THINK, which is both a gift and a challenge. Keep on keepin' on, sister. You DO make a difference =)
Hear you roar, grrlfren!! Every single decision we make in life can have an impact - good or not-so - on others. Living intentionally, or at least AWAKE, is kinda a requirement, right? However, given all the shiny objects and noise that mark a First World life ... how's a person of privilege to know when to drop the iPhone and actually talk to the human being next to them?
I'm grateful for a childhood spent on the move, and an adulthood spent mostly in the front row of the first draft of history (the news business, before it became the infotainment sinkhole of stupid). What gives me hope is the teens, 20s, and 30-somethings I spend a lot of time with who are connected, tech-savvy ... and have souls. 'Cause my bunch has turned into a heaving scrum of whining, mean-spirited fuckwits.
<things> Oy, do I need an editor ...
Shit HOWDY, grrlfren - how have you AVOIDED comedy writing for so fucking long? On of the thinks I'm proudest of is that the Education thing in my LinkedIn profile says "American Comedy Institute" - 'cause that shit's actual knowledge, not box-checking attached to a Stafford loan.
Go get well-blown in the Windy City, darlin' - and know that only the few, the proud, the REDHEADS can really rock the mic, comedy or keynote. Best of the best? BOTH. 'Cause funny is what makes keynotes meaningful/memorable.
Delighted to see that Dennis is telling his story as a clarion call to letting patients help. And you can NOT be surprised that the AHA doesn't "see" patients, at least not as part of the team. Patients aren't the customer in the eyes of the AHA, we're the product. So, sadly, are doctors. Still. The hospital-industrial complex sees only payers as partners ...
ohmiGAWD I think I hurt myself. GOAT DAFT PUNK DANCING. ohmiGAWD.
Perception becomes reality. That starts between one's own ears - Danica Patrick can be forgiven (somewhat) for trading on her looks, given that's the currency that women have been taught to use first for millennia now. I think @Erika Napoletano and @ginidietrich are correct in observing that Danica's made her own brand-bed based on "expert advice" from those who see her core audience as NASCAR nerds.
However, as something of a female gear-head (lived alone on a sailboat for 12 years, and have a tool-set that would make Tim Allen jealous), I've never been a big fan of Danica's, largely because she's playing the "I got tits!" card. Both Lynn St. James and Shirley Muldowney own those appurtenances, too, but neither of them played that card. Without their track-blazing work, Danica'd be stuck in a permanent pit-stop.
Madeline Albright said, "There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women." That includes not falling for the bullshit, and not buying into stereotyped brand messages. I still have one outstanding bit of business with GoDaddy, which will be terminated within the next 30 days. We owe it to our daughters, and our sons, to put our money where our mouths - and our beliefs - are. Hypocrisy ain't purdy, nor has it ever been.
Dang, how much I wish the Kaiser model was available in Jimbobwe, er, central Virginia.
However, the all-in-one approach outside of non-profits like Kaiser is too often more about leveraging data for increased reimbursement. Patients wind up sharing the top spot with the billing codes they represent, and trying to get access to one's own data from the EHRs of one's various providers is a challenge. Holistic, head-to-toe care and engagement has to be managed almost entirely by the patient.
I guess I'll have to continue to work toward moving home to San Diego one of these days!
#epicfail is always most epic when we're all by our ownselves, ain't it? Extreme pain followed by both a joy at no witnesses, and a twinge of sadness that no one can share in the laughter. LOL for realz, my brudda.
@bradmarley @JoeCardillo And it's ever so easy to just hit "unfollow" ...
@ginidietrich I'm so old I remember walking to work both ways, uphill, with no shoes =) Seriously, though, it is terrific to have knowledge at your fingertips. I say this as a one-time professional researcher, who remembers hours and hours in newspaper morgues and libraries, followed by hours and hours on the phone. The challenge of vetting info still remains, though, making me glad to still have a two-sources-confirm muscle ...
"The decade of the patient is only going to make you, compassionate, caring, curious, doctor, even more important in people's lives. All you have to do is keep listening."
The decade of the patient sounds like medicine re-engaging with its humanity - not that it ever wasn't human, but that has been an unfortunate sideshow in the rise of technology, particularly in medicine: there's a risk that the tools will distract from the purpose of the project.
This is a terrific series, Doc - and puts me in mind of why I enjoy producing podcasts for SHM. Hospitalists are the family-docs within the hospital, and have the same compassionate/caring/curious ethos that you do.
Keep leading. Keep listening. That's how we'll all make progress.
@bradmarley @AmyMccTobin OK, I gotta weigh in with a report from Jimbobwe: there are too many people that I want to connect with who are NO.WHERE.NEAR. me that, if I stuck with the only-f2f rule for FB I'd be pretty friendless. That's not to say that I don't have some great connections in my small city. But my business will not thrive on local - what I do, no one local thinks they should have to *pay* anyone local for doing it. Ergo, I stalk globally, and use Skype/Hangout to get at least a simulacrum of that eyeball-to-eyeball connection.
@belllindsay I think I might get extra credit for starting out in that hallway in what would have been the latter years of Don Draper's career, with additional credit for serving a sentence as a secretary in a network sales dept. before going completely ho-ville behind the camera in net news. But I could be wrong =)
@bradmarley Thanks! My approach was forged in the days long before the Wild Wild Web even existed, when I was still slaving away in Hunter Thompson's "cheap plastic hallway" - anything you DON'T want someone to know? DON'T DO/TALK ABOUT IT. And if you do, make sure there are NO surviving witnesses. =)
You mirror much of my own approach when it comes to cyber-stalking new business connections. I'm a live-out-loud-and-naked (figuratively on that last word!) person when it comes to my own social profiles, to the extent that much of my array is embedded in my email sig. But I live my life on the web, so I know both what I'm doing and the possible attendant risks. So I don't *post* anything I wouldn't be OK with seeing on Page 1, above the fold, of the NY Times ...
Damn, brother - you really do represent the highest and best potential for your profession. I'm not just blowing smoke, and I'm not saying this because we know each other. What you're outlining in this post series is literally the grassroots salvation of medicine.
Medicine is science, but it is the most human of sciences, in particular because it requires more than a little bit of art because each human being is so very damn different. Seen one patient, you've seen one patient. Predictive modeling and large-scale clinical studies can help make some things clear, but with genomics now widely available, having a great family doc who can act as a guide and leader to his patients is a prize above rubies.
Perfect. Bully the bullies with kindness, because it does indeed get better.
@Ted Eytan @kaitbr @MightyCaseyMedia Mutual cloning party! We - all of us involved in helping healthcare be the best it can possibly be - will make it happen. I get frustrated by the glacial pace of change ... and then remember that we're working on a continent-sized aircraft carrier while it's underway.
When worlds collide!!
I produce a podcast for The Hospitalist, and am very familiar w/Bob Wachter's outstanding work in building the Society of Hospital Medicine and the hospitalist specialty. One of my main concerns as a health writer/blogger is to make sure I'm not carrying anyone else's water - i.e. I'm often too willing to bite a hand held toward me with food (in this metaphor, that would be $$) if I suspect that I'll be expected to flack some version of 21st century snake oil.
Thought-leadership became a dirty phrase thanks to pharma's relentless quest for MDs to pimp their wares. Not that what pharma offers isn't often life-saving stuff, but then there's restless-leg syndrome and the huge cohort of un-replicable "scientific" research that gets published annually. @IvanOransky and his RetractionWatch.com site go a long way toward clearing the fog on the life-sciences battlefield ...
This is ... outstanding. Can we clone you? Really. So few real family-practice docs are available, and your outlook is SO necessary.
It happens. All I'll tell you is DO NOT do what my mother did, which is force me to eat Jello when I had the stomach flu as a kid. Gave me a lifelong aversion to the stuff!
Perfect. Just perfect. Can't wait to hear updates, and I do hope their hearts are lighter this Christmas. You've done a really big thing ... AGAIN =)
Dude, you ROCKED that dad-moment. Backing off and letting Noah figure out how he felt was perfect. Jeez, when he's a teenager and trying to drive you crazy, you'll laugh all the way through.
I think having a cop on regular duty at schools isn't a bad idea, but creating a whole new branch of law enforcement to protect schools feels like slamming the barn door when the horse is now three counties over. The civil budget $$ required to hire and arm up more cops and rent-a-cops isn't there unless more money is slashed from other stuff ... like community mental health resources, which are already largely under-funded. Young, fit, highly-trained cops want SWAT. School-guard duty would fall to the older, slower team, and one cop with a Glock is no match for someone determined to commit suicide-by-homicide with an AR-15. Sorry, Rob, but I'm convinced that more guns in schools ain't the big answer here. That "big answer" is removing the stigma on seeking mental health treatment, and mental-distress diagnoses. And giving communities the money to accomplish that.
@Single Dad Laughing PRIORITIES! Take care of young Noah. You've set a giant ball in motion, we'll await word on how high the hill was you launched it off of =)
Powerful stuff, Dan. I'm in. Put a barometer-thing on the post so we can cheer the campaign as far as possible?
There are no words for the level of grief those parents are facing. It will last a lifetime.
What there are words for, though, is the utter failure of mental healthcare in this country. Quoting something else I read earlier today on the Newtown incident, "We don't need metal detectors, we need mental detectors." Mental illness is so stigmatized that, as a nation, we still can't talk about it frankly and not wind up being told to sit down, we're scaring people.
Until that frank NATIONAL conversation happens, all else will be spitting in the wind...
@tallgurrl @adoptivemomto2 Amen to that. Tallgurrl rocks!!
It's always better to choose love - of self, of another, of humans in general - than it is to choose intolerance. Which always turns into hate.
I believe in the core of my being that religion - not faith, not belief in whatever god(s) you choose to worship, but RELIGION - is the perversion. Because religion always becomes a way to identify the true believers, and cast out the infidels. Gays, Jews, Muslims, Christians, Taoists, Buddhists, whoever. The only "religion" that hasn't fallen prey to kill-the-unbeliever is Buddhism, since they're all about NOT getting organized. Other than the Hare Krishnas ...
I know that plenty of true believers are gonna call me out on this comment. All I can say is that nothing you say will shift my long-held view that religion - not faith, RELIGION - is a human perversion that squashes true spiritual connection. So hold your tongues.
Wow. A literal, or almost, cliff-hanger. We're all still here, buddy. And we all still respect and love you. Actually, even more/bigger than before. Cast off the chains, honey. You are unbound ...
Religion claims to be all about love, and then turns human beings against each other. Your brother shows what real love looks like by, in an instant (that felt to you like yawning silence), going with love rather than the hate-the-sinner bullsh*t he was taught.
Yes, I know that Christianity says "hate the sin, love the sinner", but they so very much do NOT practice what they preach, as a group. And calling any kind of adult human love a sin is ... the biggest sin in my book. Just ahead of cruelty.
Love you, Dan. You're saving people with this post series. For realz.
Holy sh*t, Dan - I didn't think you could possibly be any more outstandingly awesome, and then you hit me with THIS epic dose of humanity. Love, love, LOVE you and your voice. Love yourself. Love your little man. Love whoever comes into your life and loves you back. You're leading whole hosts of people out of the darkness with your words and your authenticity. Honey, this post will SAVE LIVES. Wow. Can we clone you???
@ginidietrich Colonscopies are pretty ... uh ... invasive, and I doubt you could get dudes to go for an annual exam if that was part of the dance. However, there are other options. As an uber-geek of health science stuff, I'm wildly excited about the "chip in a pill" tech that the FDA approved in April. THAT will deliver some new options, you betcha.
I'm so sorry to hear this, Gini. Please give my deepest sympathies to Misty, and everyone else who loved Gerald.
This is yet another reason why we - "we" in this instance being all humans - need to press hard for more research into effective cancer prevention, detection, and treatment. In the US alone, cancer treatment runs up a $124.5B bill. Wouldn't it be great to be able to put those $$ into building health rather than managing illness? Just thinking out loud, as usual ...

IBM will spend $100 million to expand its data-driven capabilities and consulting strategy. This global effort will include 10 new labs and 1,000 new hires.
The International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) will invest $100 million to globally expand its data-driven capabilities and consulting strategy. The investment will combine IBM's digital marketing agency with other related businesses, including data analytics and experience design.
"We have seen growing client demand globally in the marketplace around experience capabilities and the front office transformation," says Shannon Miller, global strategy leader for IBM Interactive Experience. "We wanted to expand our reach to create labs around the world so we can meet this demand, and can collaborate and co-create with clients to develop innovative solutions."
The worldwide effort aims to help clients create personalized models of engagement through data and design. To achieve this, IBM will hire 1,000 employees and open 10 new IBM Interactive Experience labs, a concept the company launched in January of this year, in a range of key commercial and financial hubs, including Bangalore, Beijing, Groningen, London, Melbourne, Mexico City, New York, Sao Paulo, Shanghai, and Tokyo. Each new lab will enable IBM's clients to work closely with local experts in mobile, digital marketing, and experience design.
Data analytics also plays a pivotal role in IBM's global expansion. While the company's designers help clients develop mobile-driven experiences, IBM researchers and data scientists will create quality engagement for clients by harnessing the value of data.
"Mobile, social, analytics, and cloud technologies are disrupting the way companies traditionally work and interact with consumers. Likewise, existing business models are being challenged in this new digital, data-driven world. And the expectation for personalized engagement is increasing," Miller tells ClickZ.
"The ability to create quality engagement and experiences is based on data - and specifically the insight that companies can harness from data," Miller adds.
Along with the new facilities, IBM also released new data-driven capabilities from IBM Interactive Experience - the consulting arm that was created in January - including, intelligent customer profiles, influence analysis, and customer identity resolution. These are hoped to provide deeper insights into individuals and transform the way customers experience their products, services and brands. The addition of the new innovations will add to the existing data-driven portfolio including life event detection, behavioral pricing, and psycholinguistic analytics.
IBM currently owns four labs, in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, and Toronto.

Bad web habits risk our security

Attackers are abandoning traditional methods of sending malware via email, as they are too easy for virus scanners to spot. Instead, they are opting to include links in emails that direct recipients to infected web pages.

Depends on the look you want. I have a two tone black and dark earth AR, and it is one of my favorite ones, I have five.
I saw a pic where someone made a digital look by inter mixing p. rail covers. It looked sweet!
I think you should put up a poll with a few more choices........
Paint it all the same color. The mag looks great.
Somebody has to speak for these people. Y'all got on this boat for different reasons, but y'all come to the same place. So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything, I know thisthey will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people...better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave. Mal Reynolds Serenity/Firefly
That mag looks awesome, I think the whole gun done like that with a few small parts left black would really look good. How did you do that by the way?

Microsoft Launches So.Cl Network Amid Facebook Hubbub
Microsoft's So.Cl quietly launched out of beta. The social website was tested by a handful of students at select universities since late last year. The site combines search and sharing for research purposes -- making students the perfect group for testing the site. It's similar to Pinterest in that users can create boards. And just like the early days of Facebook, the network is only for college students right now.

All news
Updated article: Why use the language attribute?
The article Why use the language attribute? received a number small of editorial changes, which have been incorporated into the translated versions.
In addition, the following new paragraph was added to the section 'Styling Pages':
Other typographic and layout features that are affected by language include line-breaking, justification, and case conversion, and more are coming as the specifications develop.
This paragraph has been added, in English, to the German, Russian and Ukrainian translations of the article. Translators, are asked to please provide a translation of the new paragraph.
Encoding is a Candidate Recommendation
The Encoding specification has been published as a Candidate Recommendation. This is a snapshot of the WHATWG document, as of 4 September 2014, published after discussion with the WHATWG editors. No changes have been made in the body of this document other than to align with W3C house styles. The primary reason that W3C is publishing this document is so that HTML5 and other specifications may normatively refer to a stable W3C Recommendation.
Going forward, the Internationalization Working Group expects to receive more comments in the form of implementation feedback and test cases. The Working Group
believes it will have satisfied its implementation criteria no earlier than 16 March 2015. If you would like to contribute test cases or information about implementations, please send mail to email@example.com.
The utf-8 encoding is the most appropriate encoding for interchange of Unicode, the universal coded character set. Therefore for new protocols and formats, as well as existing formats deployed in new contexts, this specification requires (and defines) the utf-8 encoding.
The other (legacy) encodings have been defined to some extent in the past. However, user agents have not always implemented them in the same way, have not always used the same labels, and often differ in dealing with undefined and former proprietary areas of encodings. This specification addresses those gaps so that new user agents do not have to reverse engineer encoding implementations and existing user agents can converge.
Updated article: Declaring language in HTML
The article Declaring language in HTML was changed at the end of May. A noticeable change was the introduction of additional headings, to enable readers to more quickly spot relevant information. Also a new section was added: What if element content and attribute values are in different languages?
German, Spanish, Russian and Ukranian translators are asked to update their translations.
Predefined Counter Styles Draft Published
The W3C i18n Working Group has published a new Working Draft of Predefined Counter Styles. This document describes numbering systems used by various cultures around the world and can be used as a reference for those wishing to create user-defined counter styles for CSS. The latest draft synchronizes the document with changes to the related document CSS Counter Styles Level 3, for which a second Last Call is about to be announced. If you have comments on the draft, please send to email@example.com.
Industry speakers lined up to discuss use cases and requirements for linked data and content analytics
The agenda of the 4th LIDER roadmapping workshop and LD4LT event has been published. A great variety of industry stakeholders will talk about linked data and content analytics. Industry areas represented include content analytics technology, multilingual conversational applications, localisation and more.
The workshop will take place on September 2nd in Leipzig, Germany and it will be collocated with the SEMANTiCS conference. The workshop will be organised as part of MLODE 2014 and will be preceded by a hackathon on the 1st of September.
The event is supported by the LIDER EU project, the MultilingualWeb community, the NLP2RDF project as well as the DBpedia project.
XLIFF 2.0 becomes OASIS standard
The XML Localization Interchange File Format (XLIFF) version 2.0 has been approved as an OASIS Standard.
XLIFF is the open standard bi-text format: Bi-text keeps source language and target language data in sync during localization.
The publication of XLIFF 2.0 is of high importance for W3C since several of the main ITS 2.0 data categories can be used within XLIFF 2.0 to provide content related information during the localization process. Full ITS 2.0 support is planned for the upcoming XLIFF 2.1 version.
Report available for W3C MultilingualWeb workshop in Madrid
A report summarizing the MultilingualWeb workshop in Madrid is now available from the MultilingualWeb site. It contains a summary of each session with links to presentation slides and minutes taken during the workshop in Madrid. The workshop was a huge success, with approximately 110 participants, and with the associated LIDER roadmapping workshop. The Workshop was hosted by Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, sponsored by the EU-funded LIDER project, by Verisign and by Lionbridge.
A new workshop in the MultilingualWeb series is planned for 2015.
Character Model for the World Wide Web: String Matching and Searching Draft Published
This document builds upon on the Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0: Fundamentals to provide authors of specifications, software developers, and content developers a common reference on string matching on the World Wide Web and thereby increase interoperability. String matching is the process by which a specification or implementation defines whether two string values are the same or different from one another.
The main target audience of this specification is W3C specification developers. This specification and parts of it can be referenced from other W3C specifications and it defines conformance criteria for W3C specifications, as well as other specifications.
This version of this document represents a significant change from its previous edition. Much of the content is changed and the recommendations are significantly altered. This fact is reflected in a change to the name of the document from "Character Model: Normalization" to "Character Model for the World Wide Web: String Matching and Searching".
Linked Data meets Content Analytics: 4th LIDER & LD4LT event, 2nd September, Leipzig
The 4th LIDER roadmapping workshop and LD4LT event will take place on September 2nd in Leipzig, Germany. It will be collocated with the SEMANTiCS conference.
The goal of the workshop is to gather input from experts and stakeholders in the area of content analytics, to identify areas and tasks in content analytics where linked data & semantic technologies can contribute. The workshop will organised as part of MLODE 2014 and will be preceded by a hackathon on the 1st of September.
The event is supported by the LIDER EU project, the MultilingualWeb community, the NLP2RDF project as well as the DBpedia Project.
Announcing The Unicode Standard, Version 7.0
Version 7.0 of the Unicode Standard is now available, adding 2,834 new characters. This latest version adds the new currency symbols for the Russian ruble and Azerbaijani manat, approximately 250 emoji (pictographic symbols), many other symbols, and 23 new lesser-used and historic scripts, as well as character additions to many existing scripts. These additions extend support for written languages of North America, China, India, other Asian countries, and Africa. See the link above for full details.
Most of the new emoji characters derive from characters in long-standing and widespread use in Wingdings and Webdings fonts.
Major enhancements were made to the Indic script properties. New property values were added to enable a more algorithmic approach to rendering Indic scripts. These include properties for joining behavior, new classes for numbers, and a further division of the syllabic categories of viramas and rephas. With these enhancements, the default rendering for newly added Indic scripts can be significantly improved.
Unicode character properties were extended to the new characters. The old characters have enhancements to Script and Alphabetic properties, and casing and line-breaking behavior. There were also nearly 3,000 new Cantonese pronunciation entries, as well as new or clarified stability policies for promoting interoperable implementations.
Two other important Unicode specifications are maintained in synchrony with the Unicode Standard, and have updates for Version 7.0. These will be released at the same time:
UTS #10, Unicode Collation Algorithm — the standard for sorting Unicode text
UTS #46, Unicode IDNA Compatibility Processing — for processing of non-ASCII URLs (IDNs)

The acting was superb and the point, at the end of the play, was an interesting one. However, the plot device - a play within a play - has been done better elsewhere.

Great show! Very, very talented cast. The play within a play method was clever and not at all confusing.
