Dev League Computer Coding Scholarships
By Rich Figel
While filming our segment about the first-ever Honolulu Mini Maker Faire at Iolani School last month, I heard about Dev League's coding boot camps and introductory programs for kids who have an interest in computers. We just had a brief mention of them in the piece that's running on the current episode of Career Changers TV, but that led to Russel Cheng calling me to talk more about what they're doing... and I'm glad he did, because it's directly related to many topics we've covered on my show.
We've done a number of stories about startups, business incubators and accelerator programs, which all have one thing in common: they need people with computer coding skills to set up websites, program software and create apps for smart devices. Yet there were no intensive hands-on training programs in Hawaii to teach coding in a concentrated time span, according to Russel, until they launched Dev League's boot camps a few short months ago. He believes graduates who complete their 12-week course will have a good chance of receiving high-paying job offers from big companies that he and his partner, Jason Sewell, are working with -- and that's the key to justifying their price tag of $10,000 per student for the program.
It sounds like a lot of money... and it is, but if you compare it to college costs for courses and degrees that may not lead directly to any kind of employment in that field, it seems like a much better deal for anyone who wants a career in high tech. What's more, if coming up with the tuition is a challenge, you may be able to qualify for a scholarship or financial assistance. I'm copying excerpts from the Dev League press release below. We'll be doing a segment on them for our May episode, but you can find links to our Mini Maker Faire video on the CCTV YouTube Channel and daily viewing times for Career Changers TV by clicking here.
BTW, there's still time to sign up for their next "part-time" 26-week course, April 28 - October 25 Wednesday & Thursday 6 - 10pm, Saturday 9am - 8pm
From Dev League's press release:
Dev League to Advance 21st Century Technology Competency in the Islands Announces Scholarships and Tuition-Assistance for Coding Courses
In its groundbreaking business initiative to bring technology competency to the Islands, Dev League today announced two scholarships: a tuition-assistance loan plan and a federally-funded workforce development program to help motivated individuals learn professional web development at its coding boot camp. Located at the Manoa Innovation Center, the 12-week program aims to ready students for jobs in entry-level web development both here in Hawaii and on the mainland.
According to LinkedIn, the top 25 hottest skills of 2013 required coding skills. Technology skills are highly valued. Web programming was number 13, right between number data engineering and algorithm design.
The Women Who Code scholarship is 25 percent off cost of tuition for a single selected applicant to a qualified female applicant. The low-income scholarship is 100 percent off cost of tuition for a single qualifying applicant. Both scholarships are sponsored by Dev League to increase diversity and opportunity in the tech industry.
Dev League's partnership with Upstart.com is a tuition-assistance plan that enables applicants to finance their tuition over a term of five or 10 years based on future income. This unique loan program helps match qualified "upstart" individuals with "backers" who make offers to help fund an individual.
Oahu WorkLinks job development program enables qualified applicants up to 80 percent tuition assistance to Dev League via its federally funded job training services as part of the Workforce Investment Act program. To learn more about the scholarships, tuition-assistance programs and to apply, visit the Dev League web site at http://devleague.com/apply. The company has posted three new courses on its web site (click here).

Home>Article of the Month>Yoga for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: An Ancient Solution to an Emerging Problem?
Theodoros A. Zografos, MD, PHD (Disclosure)
Demosthenes G. Katritsis, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.C. (Disclosure)
August 20, 2013
Editor's Note: Based on Lakkireddy D, Atkins D, Pillarisetti J, et al. Effect of yoga on arrhythmia burden, anxiety, depression, and quality of life in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: the YOGA My Heart Study. J Am Coll Cardiol 2013;61:1177-82.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an increasingly prevalent cardiac arrhythmia, associated with increased morbidity and mortality, as well as substantial health care costs.1 Patients with AF have an increased incidence of depression and anxiety, presumably due to impairment in quality of life (QoL).2, 3 Yoga has been shown to reduce the symptoms of depression and anxiety and result in QoL improvement.4 In this context, the YOGA My Heart Study (NCT00798356) investigated the effects of yoga training on AF burden, QoL indicators, anxiety, and depression.5
The YOGA My Heart Study was a single center, prospective, self-controlled, pre-post cohort study. The study enrolled patients with paroxysmal AF between 18 and 80 years of age. Patients were considered ineligible if they had a history of AF ablation within three months, life expectancy <1 year, advanced heart failure, contraindication for yoga training, or if they had practiced any form of yoga in the preceding six months. Each patient in the study served as his or her own control. The study started with a three-month control period, followed by a three-month yoga intervention phase, during which all patients underwent structured Iyengar yoga training at least twice weekly. During the study period patients were instructed to record, using a symptom diary and a cardiac nonlooping event monitor, all episodes they felt that were consistent with symptoms of AF and at least an additional recording per day if they were asymptomatic. The primary outcomes of the study included change in symptomatic AF, asymptomatic AF and symptomatic non-AF episodes. The latter was defines as an episode associated with symptoms but no AF on the monitor. Secondary outcomes included change in Short Form 36 quality of life score, Zung self-assessment anxiety score (SAS) and Zung self-assessment depression score (SDS).
Out of 52 enrolled patients, 49 patients (47% male) completed the study. Patients had a mean age of 61 ± 11 years and mean duration of AF was approximately five years. The majority of patients had symptomatic AF (87.7%) and was on antiarrhythmic medication (77.6%).
Yoga training significantly reduced the number of symptomatic AF episodes (3.8 ± 3 vs. 2.1 ± 2.6; p < 0.001), symptomatic non-AF episodes (2.9 ± 3.4 vs. 1.4 ± 2.0; p < 0.001), and asymptomatic AF episodes (0.12 ± 0.44 vs. 0.04 ± 0.20; p < 0.001).
At the end of the intervention phase, yoga training was associated with significantly reduced anxiety and depression scores (p < 0.001), and significantly improved the physical functioning, general health, vitality, social functioning, and mental health domains of the QoL score (p = 0.017, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p = 0.019, and p < 0.001; respectively).
In patients with paroxysmal AF, yoga training may reduce symptoms, arrhythmia burden, anxiety, and depression, and improve several parameters of quality of life.
AF imposes a substantial socioeconomic burden in Western societies, which according to estimates from the European Union and the USA is expected to increase significantly in the next 50 years.1, 6 Current management of AF patients is aimed at reducing symptoms and at preventing severe complications, with antithrombotic therapy and control of the ventricular rate.7, 8 These therapies may alleviate symptoms; however, symptom relief may require additional rhythm control therapy (i.e., antiarrhythmic drugs or catheter ablation). Both these therapies are associated with increased costs which tend to equalize at approximately five years.9
This proof-of-concept study by Lakkireddy et al. provides evidence that yoga may be a low-cost intervention with a complementary role in the reduction of symptomatic AF episodes or AF burden. Given that in the following years elderly patients will constitute the vast majority of AF patients,1 the relative safety of yoga training, and several added benefits of yoga, such as the improvement in the QoL, the reduction of anxiety and depression, and the beneficial role in improving mobility and preventing falls,10 make the findings of this study all the more pertinent.
The mechanism, however, by which yoga training achieved a reduction in AF burden remains unclear. At the end of the yoga intervention period, patients had a significant reduction in heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Blood pressure reduction by yoga is well-studied and a recent meta-analysis has demonstrated that yoga is effective in reducing both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.11 Evidence suggests that one way this effect is mediated is through slow yogic breathing, which increases baroreflex sensitivity and decreases both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.12 The drop in systolic blood pressure observed in the YOGA My Heart Study correlated with the reduction in AF episodes, suggesting a link, which could involve left ventricle afterload reduction.
Moreover, since the influence of the autonomic nervous system on triggering and perpetuation of AF is well established,13 the modulation of autonomic tone by yoga training may restore a balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic activity and prevent AF episodes.14
Other potential mechanisms for the reduction of AF burden, as presented by Lakkireddy et al., could include improvement in endothelial dysfunction and reduction of inflammation, which may reduce susceptibility to AF.
The findings of the YOGA My Heart Study call for further investigation in order to elucidate the involved mechanisms and fully identify the beneficial effects of yoga for patients with AF.
First of all, the hypothesized yoga-induced changes in autonomic tone and in markers of systemic inflammation or endothelial function need to be confirmed in new experimental studies.
Another significant question we need to address is the number of yoga sessions per week required to achieve a sustainable, long-term, antiarrhythmic effect. In this study, counter-intuitively, the greatest reduction in AF episodes was achieved by the patients with the least sessions (≤2), whereas the greatest reduction in systolic blood pressure and heart rate was achieved by the patients with the greatest number of sessions (>4).
Finally, the idea of introducing yoga training in patients with permanent AF as a complementary therapy for adequate rate control and QoL improvement is intriguing, and a new study addressing this would be equally interesting.

Northside Nurses Vote to Authorize Strike Notice
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – A spokeswoman for ValleyCare Health System of Ohio and Northside Medical Center said a statement could be forthcoming later today regarding last night's vote by the union representing registered nurses to give its negotiation team the authority to issue a 10-day strike notice.
Members of the Youngstown General Duty Nurses Association held three meetings Thursday, following the fifth day of negotiations Wednesday between the Ohio Nurses Association chapter and representatives of ValleyCare, Northside and Nashville-based Community Health Systems. CHS formed ValleyCare after it acquired the primary assets of the former Forum Health Inc.
YGDNA's current contract expires July 19; next week's scheduled talks will be under federal mediation. The union represents some 400 registered nurses at Northside Medical Center.
In a website post, the union said that after continuing to deliver award-winning care despite "financial distress" under Forum, its registered nurses "felt hopeful they would no longer have to labor under such difficulty to attain the level of quality they aspire to" because ValleyCare/Northside, a CHS subsidiary, is a "profitable entity." Instead, the nurses found with CHS management "a lack of care for employee value, decreasing incentive for retention and recruitment of nurses resulting in decreased staffing levels and a resistance to develop a plan to address daily staffing needs which results, often times, in unsafe staffing."
According to its website, CHS, through its subsidiaries, owns, leases or operates 135 hospitals in 29 states. For the first quarter of the year, it reported net operating revenues of $3.3 billion, up 11$ from the same period in 2011. Its stock closed Thursday at $27.60, down 0.22%.
The nurses' union says its members have been working at the same wage level since 2006.
In 2001, the union staged a lengthy strike against the former Forum Health and Northside.

Using Postfix for Secure SMTP Gateways
Junk mail is one of the most common and annoying types of e-mail abuse. Postfix offers protection against UCE (Unsolicited Commercial E-mail) via a couple of settings in main.cf. Some caution is in order, however: there's a fine line between spam and legitimate dissemination, and it's entirely possible that even modest UCE controls will cause some legitimate (i.e., desired) mail to be dropped.
Having said that, for most sites this is an acceptable risk (avoidable, too, through end-user education), and we recommend that at a minimum, you set the following in main.cf:
smtpd_recipient_limit. This setting indicates how many recipients may be addressed in the header of a single message. Normally, such a number should not exceed something like 500. It would be extreme to receive an e-mail that has 500 recipients and was not being sent to a mailing list.
smtpd_recipient_restricitons. Not every e-mail that arrives at your server should be accepted. This parameter instructs postfix to check each message's recipient-address base on one or more criteria. One of the easiest to maintain is the access database. This file lists domains, hosts, networks and users who are allowed to receive mail from your server. To enable it: (1) set check_recipient_access = hash:access; (2) create /etc/postfix/access (do a man 5 access for format/syntax); and (3) run postmap hash:/etc/postfix/access to convert the file into a database. Repeat step (3) each time you edit /etc/postfix/access.
smtpd_sender_restrictions. By default postfix will accept SMTP connections from everybody, potentially exposing your server to SMTP relaying, a method often used for UCE perpetrators who wish to hide their identities by "bouncing" their messages off unsuspecting SMTP relayers. If this occurs, it's possible and even likely that other servers will reject e-mail from your domain(s). Other protection mechanisms lie in the fact that it is always wise to check the sender against DNS. Although this costs some performance, it makes it harder to send the information from a faulty sender e-mail address. See the file /etc/postfix/sample-smtpd.cf for a list of possible list options for this parameter. Note that hash:access is one of them; the access database can be used not only to allow/disallow particular recipients, but senders as well. For a complete list of anti-UCE parameters and their exact syntax see /etc/postfix/sample-smtpd.cf.
In order to prevent giving out information that serves no purpose to legitimate external parties, it is wise to set in the main.cf file the parameter masquerade_domains = $mydomain (remember, "$mydomain" refers to a variable). If you wish to make an exception for mail sent by "root" (probably a good idea), you can set the parameter masquerade_exceptions = root. This will cause internal host names to be stripped from FQDSes in "From" addresses of outbound messages.
Now we come to one of the groovier things we can do to secure postfix: running it in a "chroot jail". chroot is a UNIX command that confines the "chrooted" process to a specified directory; that directory becomes "/" for that process. This usually requires you to first create copies of things needed by the process but normally kept elsewhere. For example, if the process looks for "/etc/mydaemon.conf" upon startup but is being chrooted to "/var/mydaemon", the process will actually look for "/var/mydaemon/etc/mydaemon.conf".
The advantage to chrooting should be obvious: should a chrooted-postfix process become hijacked somehow, the attacker will find himself in a "padded cell" from which (hopefully) no sensitive or important system files or data can be accessed. This isn't a panacea, but it significantly. increases the difficulty of exploiting postfix.
Happily, the preparations required to chroot postfix are provided in a subdirectory of the postfix documentation called "examples". These files aren't really shell scripts: they're suggested sequences of commands.
Better still, some binary distributions of postfix have installation scripts that automatically make these preparations for you after installing postfix. In SuSE, for example, the postfix RPM package runs a script that creates a complete directory tree for postfix to use when chrooted (etc, usr, lib, and so forth) in /var/spool/postfix, with the appropriate ownerships and permissions.
In addition to "provisioning" postfix's chroot jail, you need to edit /etc/postfix/master.cf to toggle the postfix dæmons you wish to run chrooted (i.e., put a "y" in the "chroot" column of each dæmon to be chrooted). Do not, however, do this for dæmons whose "command" column indicates that they are of type "pipe" or "local". Some binary-package distributions toggle the appropriate dæmons to chroot automatically during postfix installation (again, SuSE does).
After configuring the chroot jail and editing master.cf, all you need to do is start postfix the way you normally would: postfix start. Postfix's master process handles the actual chroot-ing.
how to local smtp
Hello and thank you for the guide.
I changed inet_interfaces = localhost but it didnt worked.
I can receive but i can not send eimail
I quote the cf in order to have a look.
# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version
# Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first
# line of that file to be used as the name. The Debian default
# is /etc/mailname.
#myorigin = /etc/mailname
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
biff = no
# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no
# Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
#delay_warning_time = 4h
readme_directory = no
# TLS parameters
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache
# See /usr/share/doc/postfix/TLS_README.gz in the postfix-doc package for
# information on enabling SSL in the smtp client.
myhostname = localhost
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain
relayhost =
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128,192.168.1.0/24
mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = localhost
default_transport = error
relay_transport = error
inet_protocols = ipv4
Did i missed something?
Sending from localhost only
Apparently setting the following in main.cf will ensure that only localhost can send emails:
inet_interfaces = localhost
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

SEYMOUR, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A Seymour couple was arrested in connection with the rape of a fourteen year-old girl, according to the Sevier County Sheriff's Department.
Thirty-nine year-old Jonathan E. Myers, a registered sex offender, and Barbara K. White, 43, were arrested without incident at their home on Old Sevierville Pike Rd., authorities said.
The Sevier Co. Sheriff's Office said it's Criminal Investigation Division Child Crimes Unit launched an investigation in connection with the Tennessee Dept. of Children Services after hearing reports that Myers was having sex with a teenage girl
Myers was already wanted for violating the sex offender reporting act, officials said. He is accused of not notifying authorities when he moved from Knox Co.
He is charged with Rape, Violation of Sex Offender Reporting Act, and Residing with a Minor. White was also charged with Rape after authorities learned she knew about the incidents and failed to report them or do anything to stop the sexual assaults.
Myers' bond was set at $125,000, while White's bond was set at $55,000. Both are set to appear in Sevier County general Sessions Court on June 10.

The Video Game Explosion: A History from PONG to Playstation and Beyond
ABC-CLIO, 2008 - Games - 380 pages
Once dismissed as a fleeting fad of the young and frivolous, video games have become a booming industry that promises to drive the future of new media and emerging technologies. Today, video games have become a limitless and multifaceted medium through which major corporations and Hollywood visionaries alike are reaching broader global audiences and influencing cultural trends at a rate unmatched by any other media.This book traces the growth of a global phenomenon that has become an integral part of popular culture today. All aspects of video games and gaming culture are covered inside this engaging reference work, including the leading video game innovators, the technological advances that made the games of the late 1970s and those of today possible, the corporations that won and lost billions of dollars pursing this lucrative market, arcade culture, and the demise of free-standing video consoles and the rise of home-based and handheld gaming devices. Narrative chapters explore the ongoing debates about whether video games lead to violence in children and teens (as was the case with the Columbine High School shootings) in addition to other topics, such as the evolution of the new games, and the battle between Sony's PlayStation 3, Nintendo's Wii, and Microsoft's Xbox 360.

That Championship Season was only the second full-length play written by playwright Jason Miller and was by far his most successful. Miller was primarily an actor (The Exorcist), who wrote plays on the side. In 1973, by winning a Pulitzer Prize for the play, Miller was lifted out of obscurity. Jason Miller's That Championship Season was regarded as one of the more important plays of its time.
The play ran for a total of 988 performances before it closed on April 21, 1974.
That Championship Season won numerous awards, including:
From its earliest productions, That Championship Season was widely praised by critics, though a few dissenters had problems with certain aspects of the play. Those who like the play compliment its humor, dialogue, and characters. Reviewing the Broadway production, Clive Barnes of the New York Times writes, "Mr. Miller has a perfect ear and instinct for the rough and tumble profanity of locker-room humor. The coarsely elegant gibes go along with Mr. Miller's indictment of a society, which opens with an ironic playing of the National Anthem and then lacerates the sickness of small-town America full of bigotry, double-dealing, racism and hate."
Film and television
For years Miller worked on bringing his play to film.

I am particularly interested in modern fairy sightings, as I have mentioned in the article 'Fairies At The Bottom of the Garden'. In that piece, which I drew from Janet Bord's excellent book on Fairies (Michael O'Mara, 1997), I refer to a modern fairy encounter which was told to me personally. I said I'd go into details but have only just remembered to do so!
After I gave a presentation on Welsh fairylore some years ago I was approached by a lady who told me that one of her neighbours, a respectable and earnestly unimaginative ex-bank manager, had had a very weird experience in his younger days. I asked her to encourage the chap to write to me. He was too embarrassed to do so, but he did allow my contact to write down his story again and send it to me herself – without revealing his identity. This she did.
My correspondent explained that one day in 1961, her neighbour was walking his dog down a country lane called Coed Esgob (Bishop's Wood), near St Asaph in North Wales. He had walked his dog here very many times before. Halfway along the path there is an old way-sign, now a featureless metal post (in the middle of the picture above). The man paused here and tapped his walking stick against the post several times to knock off some mud.
As if summoned by the tapping, a horrible little man suddenly appeared. He was only three foot tall, was dressed all in green and had an ugly brown face. He glared malevolently at the astonished man, who felt rooted to the spot. His dog growled and raised its hackles at the glowering goblin – who vanished as suddenly as he had come.
As far as is known there are no particular fairy traditions attached to this location, although the whole of North Wales is rich in fairylore. The witness felt a threatening, malevolent atmosphere emanating from the little man. It's interesting that his dog was not only aware of it, too, but also reacted in fear and anger to the presence. This would seem to rule out an hallucination.
Does the goblin always come when summoned by a tapping on the post? I had my opportunity when I photographed the site in 2004, in preparation for my book Wales of the Unexpected (Gwasg Carreg Gwalch, 2005) and gingerly gave it a go. But, alas, no materialisation.

Imagine this: You visit your dentist at 9:30am, let him help you with a mini implant procedure that requires less than two hours, then you go out and meet your friends for lunch. You find that you can eat comfortably, have a great conversation, laugh and talk with confidence. You also recall that it was a painless procedure, hardly any surgery and the price was so affordable.
This is all too good to be true, you say. But, it is true. And it's been happening to thousands of ordinary folks who decided to give the procedure a shot.
They have all benefited from the application of mini dental implants (MDI), whether for long-term support of structures such as crowns and bridges, or to stabilize dentures, especially loose lower dentures.
Smile, Singapore
Little wonder the mini implant system is such a success. Since its launch in the US, the system has countless people, both young and old, smiling confidently in Europe, Australia, America, Asia and other parts of the world.
Here in Singapore, MDI, since its introduction about five years ago, has also brought smiles back to many, including patients who are medically compromised and for whom conventional implants were unsuitable.
In close consultation with a physician, patients with controlled diabetes, osteoporosis and those on blood-thinning medication can enjoy the benefits of MDI. Parkinson's disease patients with dental problems, too, can have MDI to help them chew and look better.
MDI is an innovative system for crowns, bridges and the stabilising of loose dentures. It can solve your problem, painlessly and at really affordable cost.

Napoli offers $6 million for Duvan Zapata
David Amoyal
16/08/2013 - 17:59
di David Amoyal
Napoli focuses on offense. They have set their sights on Duvan Zapata for the past few weeks. The Colombian player has been practicing in recent days with QPR, but today Harry Redknapp confirmed the rumors. Zapata hasn't been particularly convincing, so everything is back at square one for his transfer. Napoli doesn't want to miss out on this opportunity. They offered 6 million dollars, and Estudiantes' president is evaluating the offer. The Argentine club is seeking 7 million, but Napoli is dead set on not changing their offer. Napoli has the advantage that Estudiantes wants to sell quickly after the deal with QPR collapsed. Zapata never indicated he didn't want to play in Italy, and Napoli is waiting for him.

Byon January 4, 2013
One of the most seriously undercovered stories of the year just past is the scandal involving the New England Compounding Center, a drug-manufacturing facility in Framingham, Massachusetts. The NECC produced contaminated injectable steroids that infected people with fungal meningitis. So far, 39 people around the country have died, and over 600 have become seriously ill, which, frankly, should have been enough to bump this story up past, say, the national food chain. What national attention the scandal has received has centered largely and logically on how our drugs are manufactured, and specifically on the issues of regulatory oversight and consumer safety, neither of which, obviously, were adequate in this case. (Most recently, the NECC, which filed for bankruptcy last month, has decided to lay some of the blame on the company that cleans its facility. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Depositionland. Enjoy your stay.) But one of the ramifications of the scandal has gotten almost no notice at all namely, the effect of what happened at the NECC on the ongoing shortage of prescription drugs in this country.
This has been bubbling around the discussion of health-care for a number of years now. In 2005, there were 80 reported shortages in prescription drugs. In 2011, that number had jumped to 250. The president issued an executive order aimed at doing something about it. A number of factors have been offered for the increase, from simple supply-and-demand, to a slump in profit-margins due to the passage of Medicare Part D under George W. Bush to, yes, manufacturing problems. A report from the Department Of Health And Human Services in October of 2011 specifically cited a gap between the increase in the number of drugs produced and the manufacturing capacity necessary to produce them as a major factor in the increased number of shortages. This is where places like NECC come in. Compounding pharmacies like the NECC developed a function as middlemen in times of drug shortages.
"Compounding pharmacies have fit a niche in terms of getting medications to patients," John Dombrowski, MD, chair of communications for ASA and director of the Washington Pain Clinic, told MedPage Today. Steven Gayer, MD, professor of anesthesiology at the University of Miami, agreed that in times of shortage, "the correct answer is to find a compounding pharmacy." Although compounders are focused on providing tailored drugs for specific patient needs, David Ball, a spokesperson for the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists, confirmed that these pharmacies have been picking up some of the slack during shortages. "Compounders have regularly been called on to make those medications that are commercially unavailable," Ball said. They have access to raw materials, and with orders from patients or from hospitals for specific patients they can help disseminate drugs when they're needed most.
So, when the scandal brought down NECC, it had a ripple effect throughout the industry. Ameridose, a compounding company that was connected to NECC through the management of both companies, also went under as part of the scandal, setting off a shortage in drugs aimed at treating, among other things, congestive heart failure, that was sufficiently serious that the Food And Drug Administration issued a warning a year ago about it. Predictably, the usual suspects gathered around the fire to tell angry tales of why the dead hand of government regulation and that the coming of the Obamacare leviathan were responsible for the shortages. Unfortunately for these arguments, the collapse of NECC, and other problems at other compounding centers around the country, make it almost impossible to argue for less government regulation. Hand-mixed liquid nutrition formula killed nine people in Alabama. And a compounding center in Massachusetts sent out drugs that have killed 65 people now, and counting. The human cost of our sterile political debates is rarely so obvious.

Transitional Replaces Traditional in Kitchen Design
For the first time, Traditional is no longer the most popular design style; Transitional is the new top style.
Transitional took the top spot from Traditional for the first time since the National Kitchen & Bath Association began tracking kitchen and bath design trends. This was one of the findings when more than 350 designers, all NKBA members, identified the top design trends in the 2012 NKBA Design Trends Survey.
Designers identified the materials, product types, and styles that they've incorporated into their kitchen and bath designs in the last three months of 2011. NKBA pointed out that broad trends aren't evident in every local market, these are 10 overall trends for kitchens and baths across the United States and Canada.
Transitional Design marks this kitchen designed by Chris Novak Berry of brooksBerry Kitchens & Baths. The kitchen design won First Place in the Small Kitchens category in the 2011 NKBA Design Award.
Kitchen and Bathroom Design Trends: Transitional Over Traditional
NKBA's survey found that - for the first time since it began tracking annual design trends - "traditional" no longer comes out as the most popular type of design. The survey found that, in kitchens and bathrooms, "transitional" is now the most common style.
Transitional style is a blend of traditional and contemporary, with lines that are simpler than traditional but more elaborate than contemporary, creating a modern classic look. In 2012, Transitional came in just above Traditional.
Traditional style has been consistently used by about three out of every four NKBA member designers in both the kitchen and the bath, but the that figure fell to 58% in kitchens and 59% in bathrooms in the 2012 survey - just below the transitional style.
Contemporary is the next most common style, up 5% to 52% in kitchens and up 10% to 53% in bathrooms from a year ago.
Styles following Contemporary:
* Shaker
* Arts and Crafts
* Cottage
Kitchen and Bathroom Design Trends: The Return of Polished Chrome
In bathrooms, polished chrome use was us from 46% in 2011 to 65% in 2012.
Polished nickel is also up in kitchens, from 17% in 2011 to 25% in 2012.
In bathrooms, polished nickel is up from 28% to 32%.
As polished finishes grow, brushed finishes are losing ground.
Over two years, brushed nickel is down in kitchen, from 62% to 46%. In bathrooms brushed nickel is down from 66% to 46%.
Brushed chrome in kitchen is down from 20% to 17% over the past year, but it increased from 11% to 18% in bathrooms.
In the past year the use of satin nickel - with a finish between a brushed and a polished - is down in the kitchen from 64% to 56%. Its use in the bathroom is down from 57% to 52%.
Stainless steel: while other materials move away from brushed to polished, stainless steel is bucking the trend. It's use in kitchens rose from 46% in 2011 to 50% in 2012.
Stainless Steel also saw a significant increase in the bathroom, from 16% to 28%.
Bronze finishes are still popular in the kitchen, but saw that popularity edge down slightly, from 49% in 2011 to 41% in 2012. Bronze use in the bathroom remained flat at 41% from 2011 to 2012.
Kitchen and Bathroom Design Trends: Solid Surfaces
Granite and quartz surfaces continue to be the clear No. 1 and No. 2 choices, but NKBA reports their popularity has waned slightly, with granite falling from 91% in 2011 to 87% in 2012. Quartz declined from 71% to 69%.
As granite and quartz decrease, the solid surfaces trend was strong in 2011 and even stronger in 2012.
Solid Surfaces in Kitchens: The use of solid surfaces in the kitchen jumped from 11% in 2010 to 26% in 2011. In 2012, the ranking is up again, with solid surfaces specified recently by 30% of designers for use in kitchens.
Solid Surfaces in Bathrooms: The same pattern is also seen in remodeled bathrooms: solid surfaces rose from 26% in 2011 to 34% in 2012, while granite fell from 84% to 71%. Quartz dipped from 56% in 2011 to 53% in 2012. Marble is still the third most popular vanity top material at 41%, up 3% from 2011. Another trend in bathroom design is the use of glass vanity tops, which doubled over two years, from 5% heading into 2010 to 11% in 2012.
Kitchen and Bathroom Design Trends: Shades of Gray
NKBA points out that, when artfully incorporated, gray color schemes allow for an attractive, distinguished look without overpowering a design.
As recently as 2010 gray was used as the overall color scheme by only 9% of designers in kitchens, but the number was up to 17% in 2011 and the number nearly doubled, to 33%, in 2012.
The top color schemes in Kitchens remain:
No. 1: whites and off-whites;
No. 2: beiges and bones;
No. 3: browns
Bronzes/terracottas have also been on the rise in kitchen design, from 20% in 2010 to 25% in 2011 to 31% in 2012.
Greens have also increased in the kitchen, from 18% in 2010 to 32% in 2012.
In bathrooms gray color scheme use has also grown quickly: from 12% in 2012, to 21% in 2011, to 40% in 2012.
The most popular color schemes in bathrooms:
No. 1: whites and off-whites;
No. 2: beiges and bones;
No. 3: grays;
No. 4: browns;
and No. 5: blues.
NKBA identified green as the color trend in bathrooms in 2011, when it was specified by 25% of designers - and it stayed at that level in 2012.
Kitchen and Bathroom Design Trends: The Return of Polished Chrome
Brushed metal finishes supplanted polished chrome for some time, but now it's making a comeback. Polished chrome was specified by 34% of designers in kitchens in 2011, but that grew to 52% in 2012.
In bathroom, polished chrome use was us from 46% in 2011 to 65% in 2012.
Other Design Trends
Kitchen Design Trends: Cherry Wood in Decline: Cherry wood and maple have for years been the popular type of wood for cabinetry, with each type taking turns as the first or second most popular wood type.
But the NKBA survey shows designers moving away from cherry wood. In the report released in 2010, 80% of NKBA member kitchen designers had recently specified cherry cabinetry. That fell to 72% in 2011 and fell to 69% in the 2012 report.
Maple has also seen its popularity wane somewhat, decreasing from 77% in the 2011 report to 70% now.
A number of less frequently used woods are now being specified more often:
* Oak was specified by 22% of designers in 2012, up from just 11% in 2011.
* Walnut is at 13%, up from 9% in 2011 and from just 3% in 2010.
* Birch is up to 15%, from just 5% in the 2011 report.
* Bamboo is at 10%, up from 5% in 2011.
Alder is on the decline: the wood was specified by 40% of kitchen designers two years ago, but that dropped to 30% in 2011 and to 27% in the 2012 report.
Kitchen Design Trends: Darker Finishes: NKBA says natural kitchen cabinetry is continuing to move to darker finishes.
The 2012 report said:
* Light natural finishes were specified by 30% of kitchen designers recently.
* Medium natural finishes were specified by 55%, of kitchen designers recently.
* Dark natural finishes were at 58%, up from 43% of just two years ago.
Painted cabinetry continues to be dominated by white. White cabinets were recently specified by 59% of kitchen designers, other colors only by 38% of designers.
Distressed finishes may be coming back. Distressed finishes were specified by 15% of designers in the 2010 report and only 5% in the 2011 report - but by 22% in the 2012 report.
Kitchen Design Trends: Glass Backsplashes: NKBA reported that glass is still only a niche material for kitchen countertops, but is strong in backsplashes. The material was specified by 52% of designers, up strongly from 41% in the 2011 report.
Glass is still in third place.
Ceramic tile (including porcelain) remains in first place, specified by 74% of designers.
Natural stone tile is in second place, at 60%.
Although still No. 1, ceramic tile backsplashes are down from 88% in the 2010 report and from 78% in 2011.
Also popular materials for a kitchen backsplash: granite at 30% and quartz at 20%.
Using a granite or quartz backsplash to match the granite or quartz countertop is common, but NKBA reports that the same sort of matching isn't nearly as common when solid surface countertops are in the design. Such solid surface materials, despite their countertop popularity, have been recently specified by only 11% of designers for backsplashes.
Kitchen Design Trends: LED Lighting:
NKBA sees the strong LED lighting trend - and a big 2012 surge - as one of the ways consumers and designers are addressing energy efficiency , despite its higher initial cost. The percentage of kitchen designers specifying LED lighting:
* 2010: 50%
* 2011: 54%
* 2012: 70%
Compact fluorescent lights (CFLs), on the other hand, are not seeing rising popularity. NKBA sees the drawbacks of such lights - poor light color and the presence of mercury in the bulbs - outweighing their inherent energy efficiency when compared to incandescent bulb. They were specified by only 26% of designers, down from 36% a year ago.
Incandescent bulbs were at 42% in 2012 - a number that is expected to continue falling in the future as U.S. bans production of such bulbs phase in (As of Jan. 1, 2012, 100-watt incandescent bulbs may no longer be produced. The ban extends to 75-watt incandescent bulbs in 2013 and 60-watt and 40-watt incandescent bulbs in 2014.)
Kitchen Design Trends: Pull-Out Faucets:
Pull-out kitchen faucets are now the dominant type of kitchen faucet in the NKBA survey of designers. Standard faucets were specified by a little less than half of designers in the 2010 report. In 2012, just over a third of designers recently specified them. The use of pull-out faucets climbed from 88% in the 2010 report to 91% in 2011 to 93% in 2012.
The versatility of such faucets may be the cause of decreasing use of pot-filler faucets, recently specified by 28% of designers and down from 41% two years ago.
Bathroom Design Trends: Medicine Cabinets
Medicine cabinets were on the decline for years, with decorative wall mirrors used in their place. NKBA says that now, with designers and consumers looking for better use of their space, medicine cabinets may be coming back: the percentage of designers who specified medicine cabinets went from 43% in 2010 to 36% in 2011, but climbed up again in 2012, to 66%.

GBPNZD – Trading at historical lows
Its going to be complicated to open new trades since the non-farm payrolls is released tomorrow morning. But If I was to trade anything it would be one of the GBP crosses that are trading in a very clear bearish condition.
This is the case for the GBPNZD, it broke the bottom of the range earlier today, and right now it is trading in a clear condition…
As long as it trades below 1.9283 I'll be looking for short opportunities.
Trade Safe!

Maybe the answer to 99% of my many problems?
I've never set up a PC before until this one. (Old one was set up by the tech at the shop where I bought it.)
So, I just assumed everything would work, never thought about having to 'configure' anything. That's where I'm lost 'cuz computer terminology is beyond me. For example, when I realized that I haven't had any 'automatic' restore points, I went into Task Schedular but it looked like it was set for wee hours of morning so left PC on over night but still nothing. So just a bit ago was searching forum for SR when I got a popup from IE, took a screen shot then re-booted, took a peek at Event Viewer & now am about 90 seconds from throwing this thing out the window.
I know I'm gonna get my fanny chewed for not posting a specific problem to a specific area but am so flustered I don't know if I'm coming or going.
|My System Specs
|31 May 2012
Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit
Can you manually make a restore point?
I think the bare minimum "automatic" restore points are quite infrequent. Maybe once a week if one is not otherwise made.
I rarely if ever make a manual restore point, but seem to have 2 or 3 new ones every week--done by Windows automatically as a result of updates.
You shouldn't have to deal with Task Scheduler at all regarding restore points.
|My System Specs
|31 May 2012
How do you know that there are no restore points?
You can check to make sure System Restore is turned on for the drives you want: Go to Control Panel -> System -> System Protection (left panel towards the top).
As mentioned by ignatzatsonic, it appears points are created automatically less frequently than prior versions of Windows. The default seems to me to be once a week (unless updating/installing forces one).
There's a place in the regisistry where you can do much more customization of its behavior.
|My System Specs

Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
Yeah most restore points are made before installing software or updates. At least with software that uses the Microsoft installer engine. Otherwise you Just make them yourself at points you determine to be a "Stable" configuration.
I don;t think you want to make them all that often as there are only so many and you may roll good restore points off the queue too fast by doing it every night for example.
To see how to create a manual restore point, type "Create a restore point" into the start menu search box...
|My System Specs

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-Bit
You can use an elevated command prompt to establish what's happening to system restore.
Click Start and type cmd in the Search box.
Right-click cmd under Programs and choose Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt.
Type these commands and press Enter after each one to run it.

I've caused myself confusion here because I'm getting replies about System Restore both here & in my other thread titled 'System Restore not working'. My bad!! I don't know if/how to split the SR from this thread & just keep this one to "was I supposed to 'configure' every file, folder, program, whatevers, in my PC? I bought it in Feb. but have seen a few places in here where some things were done sometime last year.
I will try to reply to the 4 posts already here.
I can & have manually made 1 or 2 myself besides the ones made by MS Updates & there's a couple from something I downloaded or uninstalled.
SR is found in Task Scheduler.
CCleaner Tools shows a list of points made.
I did the vssadmin yesterday.
I do have more to say about SR but will do so in my other thread.
Thank you.

Every now and again, I like to think outside of the box. And when you have programs like Excel to help you, I thought why not draw up a table which shows us how teams are getting on since the second half of the season started. Obviously, we all know what we ended the first half of the season on 20 points after a great, unexpected draw against Tottenham. We've now played 4 games since the start of the second half of the season. Villa (away), Arsenal (home), Sunderland (away) and Chelsea (home).
So how exactly are we faring compared to our peers since the 20th game? Have a look in the table that I put together this afternoon (beats doing the hoovering...) and let me know your thoughts - you may have to click it to enlarge the image!
Attachment 9978
The plan is to update the table as the rest of the season progresses and repost it every so often. The way I see it is that as long as we keep the relegation threatened teams below us in this table, it will actually mean that we are pulling further away from the relegation zone. An interesting thought, and a possible different angle to look at how our season is panning out.
Poor old Wigan - doomed I tell ya, doomed!
Haha, I thought that when I put it together! Wigan had a shocking first half to the season, and they've started the second half with 4 losses... Not looking good for them at all!
Wolves haven't won in 9 either, I think. Surely both of them are doomed?
Very true, Wolves and Wigan will have to suddenly pick up points like a top 8 side if they are to get enough points to avoid the drop. Bolton and Blackburn are looking more solid now though, even if unspectacular. I think that realistically, we haven't got anything to worry about. But until the points are on the board you just never know...
Chelsea & Arsenal at home , Villa & an in form Sunderland away for 7 points is fantastic . Rather than teams finding us out the 2nd half , were going to find the other teams out IMO
Updated after today's results - everyone has now played 4 games since the half way mark.
Attachment 10001
(Click to enlarge)
Thanks for this thread,bigkidderz. It's really interesting to see the alternative Table. Well done.
Were10 points from relegation with 15 games to play . The bottom 3 teams are having a tough time averaging . 8 of a point per game little on make it up on us . Plus 35 or 36 points will keep you up this season IMO .
It's a lot tighter at the top isn't it? Normally after 4 games of the season there's one or two teams with maximum points, and what's striking is every team has dropped at least 3 points in the last 4 games! It really is anyone's guess who'll get relegated this year!
Sunderland are on a roll. Anyone fancy a cheeky wager that they'll be surprise champions this season?
If we're doing a stats thread then I've got my own benchmarks for the season's progress. In each group of 5 games, aim for 6 points (1.2 points a game wiould get us to 45/46 for the season.) We've been very consistent in achieving this:
Man City (A) 0pts
Wigan (H) 1
Sunderland (H) 1
Arsenal (A) 0
Chelsea (A) 0pts
Stoke (H) 3
Norwich (A) 0
Wolves (A) 1
Bolton (H) 3 TOTAL 7 POINTS
Liverpool (A) 1pts
Man Utd (H) 0
Aston Villa (H) 1
Blackburn (A) 0
Fulham (H) 3 TOTAL 5 POINTS
Newcastle (A) 1pts
Everton (A) 0
Tottenham (H) 1
Aston Villa (A) 3 TOTAL 6 POINTS
Arsenal (H) 3pts
Sunderland (A) 0
Chelsea (H) 1
Norwich (H) ?? TOTAL ?? POINTS
A win against WBA or Norwich will keep the tally moving along nicely.
Interesting for sure. Blackpool's implosion started at the half way mark as I recall and we're a month past that now. Despite the negativity here pointing out we're 9 points off relegation I'd concentrate on the fact we're only 3 off 8th! We need to keep this momentum up on Saturday. A winnable game imo.
Sunderland are on a roll. Anyone fancy a cheeky wager that they'll be surprise champions this season?
There, that looks better

Optima Digital 1200 Battery Charger
We actually saw this cool new charger when it debuted at SEMA last year, and have wanted to pick one up ever since. The folks at Optima know batteries better than anyone else, and when they developed this charger, they were determined to make the best one on the market. An automotive-inspired gauge lets you see exactly where a battery is in the charging cycle, it can also serve as a battery tender for weekend cars, and even has a USB port so Dad can charge his iPod when he's out wrenching in the garage.

Every year, billions of people across the globe (myself included) flip on their TVs to count down to the new year and watch as the Ball slips down its pole. It's been a tradition that's happened on the roof of One Times Square since 1907. Each year, the ball changes ever so slightly — so little that most people wouldn't even notice a difference. I braved torrential rains into the heart of New York City to see what those alterations would be for the 2012 New Year's Eve Ball, which is decked out with 2,688 Waterford Crystal triangles and carries the theme of Let There Be Friendship this year. From down on the streets, the New Year's Eve Ball that now sits permanently above Times Square all year round looks the size of a basketball. You don't realize what a looming structure it is until you get right down under it. It's like the Death Star, only friendlier and without all the planet-vaporizing lasers.
