Sucking Child's Pacifier Cuts Allergy Risk
UNDATED -- Researchers have found that sucking on your child's pacifier might reduce the risk of your child developing allergies.
According to MedPage Today, children born to parents who said they cleaned their child's pacifier with their mouths were less likely than those born to parents who cleaned the pacifier in other ways to have asthma and eczema.
"Exposure of the infant to parental saliva might accelerate development of a complex oral/pharyngeal microbiota that, similar to a complex gut microbiota, might beneficially affect tolerogenic handling of antigens by the oral/pharyngeal lymphoid tissues," wrote Bill Hesselmar, MD, PhD, of Queen Silvia Children's Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden, and colleagues. "Moreover, oral bacteria are swallowed and hence also affect the composition of the microbiota in the small intestine, which may in turn regulate tolerance development in the gut."
Other health professionals agree.
Amal Assa'ad, MD, of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center tells MedPage Today that changing an infant's microbiota may influence the development of allergic disorders. He tells clinicians "that we have to let nature play out a little bit and not be too clean and not be forming artificial barriers in the connection between the mother and the infant and the parents and the infant."

Sold Out $14.99
Penfolds Thomas Hyland Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Cabernet Sauvignon from South Australia, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
An elegant medium-bodied wine with upfront flavors of dark cherry and mulberry fruit. The fine tannin structure provides an even and focussed mid palate, whilst the careful use of American and French oak adds richness, length and nutmeg, cinnamon and mocha flavours.
Critical Acclaim
International Wine Cellar - "Bright violet color. Textbook cabernet on the nose and palate, displaying dark berries, cherry, cracked pepper and tobacco scents along with subtle florality. Supple and sweet, with ripe cherry and cassis flavors, a dusting of tannins and good finishing cling. This seems ready to drink but it also has the depth to age a while longer."
Penfolds Wines Winery
Founded by a young, English doctor in 1844, Penfolds has been producing remarkable wines that have changed the landscape of Australian winemaking. Over the past century, Penfolds has indisputably led the development of Australian fine wine in the modern era. The introduction of Penfolds Grange in 1951 forever changed the landscape of Australian fine wine. Since then, a series of standout wines, both white and red, have been released under the Penfolds masthead. Under the direction of master winemaker, Peter Gago, Penfolds is now found in every major wine market in the country. Extraordinary wines such as Block 42 and Bin 60A have also been released during his tenure. Penfolds wines are now widely celebrated for their diversity and quality across many price-points. The strength of Penfolds is that the wine comes first. Penfolds' range of table wines is utterly Australian, evoking a generosity of spirit and the beauty of the Australian landscape.
About South AustraliaView a map of South Australia wineries McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley, South Australia produces some of the finest red wines of the country, and some say in the world. White wines gain their reputation from the distinctive Rieslings of Clare Valley.
About AustraliaLike the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Excerpt from: The Dhammapada: The Way of the Buddha, Vol. 07, Chapter 1
"If you don′t listen to the buddhas you will be consumed by your own mischief. The harm that you do to yourself is such that nobody can do it to you; you are the greatest enemy to yourself, right now as you are. Of course you can be the greatest friend too, but you have not tried it.
"All that you have done to yourself has been just a constant creation of hell, but you go on doing it, for the simple reason that you never take the responsibility on your own shoulders. You always throw the responsibility on others, on fate, on God, on the society, on the economic structure, on politics, on the state, on this, on that. You go on throwing your responsibility on others. This is a sure way to remain a slave forever. Take the whole responsibility.
"When Buddha says, 'You will be consumed by your own mischief,' he is saying, 'Remember that whatsoever happens to you is your own doing. Good or bad, bliss or misery, darkness or light – whatsoever you reap you have sown, and you are absolutely responsible for it and nobody else.'
"Giving responsibility to somebody else is becoming a slave. Take the whole responsibility on your own self. In the beginning it is hard, it is a burden, but soon you realize: if you can create hell, you can create heaven too. Just more awareness will be needed. Hell is downhill, no awareness is needed. Heaven is uphill, more and more awareness will be needed. When you move towards the peaks, you will have to be very watchful.
"People are watchful of wrong things. If you have money, you are very watchful. You go on constantly looking into your pockets. You look again and again into your suitcase to see whether the money is safe. That's how thieves come to know that you have something. When a person constantly goes on touching his pocket, he himself is inviting thieves. He is making them aware, they are also watching. When you are hiding something, you are inviting people – it must be precious. Just throw the kohinoor diamond in the garden, and nobody will steal it.
"People are very watchful about wrong things, but not watchful about their inner being." Osho
In this title, Osho talks on the following topics:

Overall I enjoy the location, and the amenities are amazing! It can be very loud at times; however, you must r Read Moreecognize that you live in downtown LA. The maintenance staff is amazing, but I am not so found of the office staff although they work. The building is a little bit older. We had one of our bathrooms flood (maintenance said it was because of a broken part inside the toilet) at about 1 AM in the morning. That being said the maintenance staff promptly took care of the issue (3-4 days tops!)

Using Java Servlets with Database Connectivity
My first guest-book application was a Perl CGI script that kept all the guest entries in a formatted text file that was displayed or added to as the parameters dictated—simple and effective. Unfortunately, I wanted to do more with that information, including linking back to the Apache log files and maybe even handing out cookies to monitor usage. The script, which started small and lean, began to choke on the file processing necessary. It was also a little distressing, since I had a very functional RDBMS installed and ready to use. I studied the alternatives (mod_perl) and decided to go with Servlets. The first step was to design the tables. The most important table holds each guest-book entry on a row.
CREATE TABLE guest_book ( entryid INT NOT NULL, response CHAR(8), name VARCHAR(32), addr VARCHAR(48), email VARCHAR(24), time DATETIME, comment TEXT, PRIMARY KEY (entryid) )
Each row in the guest-book table is uniquely identified by the entryid column which has an implicit index. Additionally, the handling of these keys is handled by a key table, a convenience in a small application but almost essential in larger applications.
CREATE TABLE key_table ( id INT NOT NULL, val INT DEFAULT 0, PRIMARY KEY (id) )The key table is able to keep track of any number of keys within the range of the int type, which in my case is [-231,231-1]. In order to get a new key, the current key must be retrieved and then incremented. This must be atomic, i.e., the operation must take place in a transaction. This is illustrated in the getKey method. Ideally, a stored procedure would handle all these details (the key-table concept should not be visible to application developers in an ideal world), but this level of detail with PostgreSQL involves C shared libraries and Database APIs—something with which I did not want to get involved.
An additional problem that needed solving was how to provide servlets with property files in a consistent fashion. Property files provide a convenient way of placing data that would otherwise be hard-coded into the application. This is done by providing a property on the command line to JServ called base.dir which points to a world-writable directory (but is chmod +t so that user's may not stomp on other users files). This is specified in the httpd.conf file in the ServletBinaryArgument tag. In this directory you can store property files which may be loaded by servlets. I am sure this can be done in a smarter fashion.
The main processing entry point is the service method. From here, either the list of entries is displayed (listEntries), a form is displayed (showForm) or a new entry is made (addEntry). The code for the Guest Book application is not shown due to space considerations, but is included in the archive file at ftp.linuxjournal.com/pub/lj/listings/issue67/3243.tgz.
Listing 4 is the property file used to set up the various parts of the servlet. I moved a number of the HTML header and footer strings into this file along with the JDBC configuration parameters.
The servlet/JDBC/PostgreSQL proved to be a powerful and fast technology. Most of the problems I encountered were configuration problems that required me to carefully read the associated documentation. Unfortunately, technical documentation on Servlets is scarce and I would urge further experimentation. The next step I took with this application was to install Sybase ASE for Linux, a RDBMS with which I am comfortable. I then coded a number of stored procedures that allowed the Servlet to delegate most of its data manipulation to the database, where it rightly belongs. If you are going to replace PostgreSQL with Sybase, it is necessary to get the jConnect JDBC classes from the Sybase web site. Of course, this can be done with PostgreSQL, but learning the details of an RDBMS C API was tangential to the exercise.
All listings referred to in this article are available by anonymous download in the file ftp.linuxjournal.com/pub/lj/listings/issue67/3243.tgz.

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.

It seems like Miley Cyrus has a hard time getting away from Terry Richardson's camera lens. This time the two caught up in New York, but not only at the photographer's studio, but it seems like also in the hotel room of the singer. It looks like Miley Cyrus is trying to wear less clothes every time she gets back in front of the camera and has somewhat also achieved that compared to last time. After having recently worked together on the "Wrecking Ball" music video, you can now flip through this image series in the above gallery.

May be some help here: Earlier versions of Word blocked by SP3 - Office Update Service
Hi there,
The actual error I recieve when trying to open the file in word is attached below. It's a Word 2.0 file apparently, and it is allegedly blocked by a registry setting, can anyone tell me the registry setting that blocks the file and how I might change it? I am not a system administrator (on the servers themselves) but I can ask for the changes if they need to be done on there.
Any help appreciated.
Darryl_Wilcox (18th May 2010)
Appears to be very useful, especially the microsoft KB link...thanks for this.
You are very welcome - I stumbled on it when researching a similar issue - didn't solve my problem though

Pier 1 Misses by 6 Cents
Pier 1 (PIR) posted its latest disastrous quarter Thursday, as the home goods retailer reported a 14.8% drop in second-quarter same-store sales.
The Fort Worth, Texas, company lost $73 million, or 84 cents a share, for the quarter ended Aug. 26, compared with a year-ago continuing operations loss of $6.4 million, or 7 cents a share. Sales fell 13% from a year ago to $373 million.
The latest quarter included a raft of charges related to taxes, litigation and asset impairments. Excluding those charges, the latest-quarter loss was 34 cents a share.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial were looking for a 28-cent loss on sales of $387 million."Although we are well underway with our turnaround strategy, we are disappointed to report a significant loss for the second quarter," said CEO Marvin Girouard. "We did have a number of one-time charges which impacted the quarter. Additionally, sales were soft in June and July, improved slightly in August, but our fixed costs were too much to overcome. "With 100 days remaining until Christmas, we are focused on the all-important holiday season," he added. "We have planned increases in store-level inventory for decorative accessories, gifts and tabletop collections, although total inventory is being carefully monitored and is currently 15% below last year. We have an aggressive marketing program scheduled for the third and fourth quarters of this year and new visual presentations planned for stores that will feature a broad assortment of value-priced items."

Print dead in ten years—even p-obits? Plus book future show, the e-pricing issue and K-book sales stats
June 5, 2008 | 1:55 pm
By David Rothman
"In the next 10 years, the whole world of media, communications and advertising are going to be turned upside down—my opinion. Here are the premises I have. Number one, there will be no media consumption left in 10 years that is not delivered over an IP network. There will be no newspapers, no magazines that are delivered in paper form. Everything gets delivered in an electronic form." – Steve Ballmer, Microsoft, in Washington Post interview.
The TeleRead take: So what do you think, gang? I believe they'll have to kill off some Luddite babyboomers first. But you never know where their obits will appear, if you take a Monster.com founder seriously. As for e-books already some kids in housing projects prefer them over the paper variety, because, says a Richmond teacher, they'd rather press a button than turn pages.
Also of interest: On the Media radio show on the future of books, including a segment on the vanishing book review sections in newspapers.
Related: Print is Dead and The Book Is Dead book sites, and the PID blog. Read PID guy Jeff Gomez's skepticism toward Henry Blodget's proposal to lower e-book prices—plus TBID author Sherman Young's questioning of Jeff Bezo's Kindle sales stats. I myself think prices will eventually shake out at $5-$10 for pure E and maybe $20-$25 for a p-book with an e-edition included. No science here. Check in with me in five-ten years.
I think Steve Ballmer is an idiot besides his above quote.
A complete electronic distribution revolution in 10 years ?!? He's delusional.
Unless, as you said, there was a mass genocide of Baby Boomers and the Mini Baby Boomers.
Closer to that idea in 10 years? Absolutely, but I think the complete scenario he invisions would be closer to 20 – 30 years.
As for the other article, I don't think drastically slashes e-book prices is the missing key. I DO think no e-book should EVER cost as much as the paper book version.
But what that price will be will be determined by the market place.
What I believe will be the key is finding/creating/developing the right content – delivery – device scenario.
The right choice of devices (meaning a selection of prices and features across a wide range, from dirt cheap to "luxury" models) that allow people to easily purchase content of THEIR choice for THEIR device of choice at a REASONABLE price will be the key.
I don't know. Ballmer and the kids may have something. I brought a hardcover book to work to read over lunch today. I usually read an ebook on my PDA. I found it annoying to have to move more than my thumb to turn the page. You get used to things faster than you realize.
Jack Tingle
I agree Jack.
In between feeding my e-book addiction, I must admit to utilizing my local library to feed my overall reading addiction. I've found once you get used to e-reading, going back to paper seems so … "old" and I'm over 40, lol.
I just thought 10 years was WAY to optimistic, however.
God, I hope not Robert. Re-reading the same old stuff over and over … UGH!
I think as long as writers have a legitimate chance at earning a living entertaining all of the millions of readers, they will continue to write.
Whether that will take the form of publishers, self-publishing or serialization remains to be seen. But I believe, just as in music, writers will continue to write if they can earn some compensation for it.
Some musicians may be content to entertain themselves in the privacy of their own homes, but writers need an audience.
If you write a story and there is no one there to read it, have you really told a story?
Ballmers one of techs most reliable pundits. Whatever he predicts is almost guaranteed not to happen. Its like Steve Jobs saying no one reads anymore, it just means he's working on an e-reader.
Technology changes work in exponential scales. For years, it seems like nothing changes, and then everything is changed. But if you take logarithms, you can see it happening. I think the death of paper will be like this. Over the last couple of years, we've seen the first gradual declines in paper demand. In offices, fewer pages are being printed, more stored (and read) digitally. In newspapers, fewer pages are being produced, smaller formats being published, etc. In books, eBooks have been a joke for years (growing fast but still zero). I'm old enough, and a former telecom guy, to remember when the telecom people made that joke about data (it's always growing fast but always only 5% of traffic–oops).
Time scales are rough, but Balmer can certainly afford a nice logarithm calculator.
Unlike Robert, I fear that people will stop reading novels but, maybe, not stop writing them.

@ Damien
Geez, I thought I was the only one who caught that backhanded slap at the Kindle from Steve Jobs. Sure 40% didn't read a novel last year, but a whopping 60% did!
No, Rob, don't despair. You're my hero!
People will still read and novels will always have their place. Everyone isn't raised on YouTube and instant messaging.
I interact with a lot of kids and teacher, THE JOY OF READING IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL everyone.
(And yes, if Steve Ballmer says it, you can put money that the opposite will happen.
No magazines or paper books produced in 10 years time? Utter nonsense.
I can't see this happening in the next thirty years. people like paper, it's still vastly more convenient and easier to use. Don't get me wrong, I like e, I just don't think it's a viable replacement for paper in the next ten years.
For epaper to take off, it needs:
1) better contrast — real black on real white.
2) better resolution — at least 300 dpi.
3) better refresh rates — enough to make video possible.
If we don't get all of those, then you don't have a viable replacement for the aesthetics of paper. People like paper, they're quite attached to it. It will take at least one generation (40 years) after epaper become fully usable (see 3 points above) before it totally replaces print.
Re electronic copies of magazines … they wish. So you go to the doctor's surgery and instead of a pile of mags to flip through there's an ashtray with a few 1gb memory cards in? You're about to board a plane and you decide to spend a couple of minutes browsing data chips at the news stand?
Printed mags aren't going anywhere. I can get all the tech and gaming news I want off the internet, but sometimes I just want to chill out on the sofa or in bed with a PAPER book or magazine.
This debate always gets framed with the question of "the future of reading," as it was at the latest BEA conference in LA. The discussion always revolves around the imminent threat of the digital world with mp3s, YouTube and text messaging. Book fans always fall back on the permanence of storytelling; true, but we humans were enjoying stories for thousands of years before anybody even knew how to write or read. You see, it's not really about books and reading.
What it's really about is imagination, creativity, curiosity, wonder and community – what we might call the human factor. Books and language are merely technologies – the book is the hardware and the words are the software. The invention of the book and it's mass production allowed us to experience our humanity in new ways. Video, recorded audio and mass communications have done the same.
But in the history of progress the human factor has always dominated the technology factor and this will determine the future of books as well. What we want are ways to experience our world-through our imaginations, our creativity, our wonder, our curiosity and our sociability-in any way or form, whether through books, videos, social networking or cell phones. Print books will continue to exist as one form of technology and reader experience, but digital media is something that will revolutionize the book because it allows us a fuller experience to actually dwell within our stories and explore and share our wonder. eBooks will be another blessing.
Well said Michael! Absolutely on target.
Novels and story telling aren't dead. The future is still wide open and certainly what we will make of it.
But a complete digital delivery system in 10 years is too soon.
Even if Apple and Microsoft jumped in with booth feet and Amazon, Sony, Bookeen, Astak, et al released e-reading devices that were cheaper, the uptake would not make the Ballmer prediction doable in such a short time.
As popular as the iPod is, not everyone has one (me included) even though you can get the base model for below $70. Best Buy and everyone else still sell physical CDs in their stores.
I agree, Aaron. But timing is something I can't really predict with confidence. We're not really at square one, we're actually probably half way there. I've been writing, researching and sharing digital media for almost 25 years now. It's just all done on computer, which makes for a lousy reading experience. I've just been waiting for the last piece of the puzzle and then everything created digitally over the past 25 years is instantly available.
Jeff Bezos says Amazon customers who buy a Kindle have increased their purchases 2.6 times, which just begs the question: when are you going to give them away then? The key is being able to take advantage of all the inventory out there–such as that created by Google–and not have to pass through the Amazon cash register on each item.

VFX: Iron Man : "The Avengers" is far more than the Hulk in its coalescence of several Marvel worlds. ILM also tweaked Iron Man, making him more nimble and less constrained in his new Mark VII suit than in his previous two standalone movies, which was another Whedon directive. "We're back to a round RT on his chest but the biggest change was giving him a rocket pack," added VFX supervisor Jeff White.

Meet the man who makes the net workPUBLISHED: 10 Apr 2012 00:47:32 | UPDATED: 10 Apr 2012 08:25:50PUBLISHED: 10 Apr 2012 PRINT EDITION: 10 Apr 2012

Ask two young boys in Perth what their father does for a living and they'll give you the same surprising response: "He makes the internet work."
That might be a bit of an oversimplification but as the managing director of iiNet, a business he started in his parents' garage almost 20 years ago, Michael Malone is ultimately responsible for the broadband connections in hundreds of thousands of homes across the country. In Western Australia his company's market share rivals that of Telstra.
Although he has, perhaps, a more natural affinity for technology than most other senior executives, his daily use of it will be familiar to many of his peers. When he wakes in the morning Malone reaches for his iPhone to check email, Twitter feeds and relevant threads on the Whirlpool telecommunications forum to get a snapshot of the day ahead before he's even out of bed.
If he has to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, he takes the phone with him to light the way but again finds himself checking email before he goes back to sleep.
He is regularly glued to the screen during business meetings and even spent much of his time checking and responding to messages while sitting in a Sydney courtroom for days on end as lawyers defended Hollywood allegations that iiNet had authorised copyright infringement.
"I find it very hard to concentrate on one thing at a time so it's easier for me to keep my eyes on my phone and flick emails back and forth," he says.
Although a keen user of Twitter, Malone says he doesn't post much these days despite having a couple of thousand followers. He typically follows media outlets, other members of the technology community and intellectual property lawyers (an area he says has been a personal interest long before he found his own company at the sharp end of high-profile proceedings).
He's not a big fan of Facebook and disconnected for a couple of years because it "took up a lot of time for very little value". These days he logs on about once a month to see what's happening but admits he isn't really engaged.
Malone has an Apple MacBook that he carries around between home and office or on his travels.
He also has an iPad 2 but says he hasn't bothered getting the latest model because it's just a little bit faster with a slightly better screen and an improved camera, none of which would "enhance my life".
Although he takes the tablet with him everywhere he goes, he finds it gets little use.
"I handle more than 90 per cent of my emails on the iPhone and if something needs a more substantial reply then I end up doing it on my laptop," he says.
"The iPad for me has become an entertainment device rather than a business tool."
This might mean watching a movie on one of his frequent plane journeys, or listening to some music, but if he's at home the device is normally taken away from him by his children.
As somebody who flies every two or three days, it is no shock that two of his favourite apps are related to travel – Flight Status and SmartCab. Perhaps more surprisingly, his MacBook is the only computer in the Malone household.
"It used to be that the PC was in the office at the back of the house and you'd go there to use the internet or send emails but now there's a smartphone in your pocket and a laptop in the dining room," he says.
"I don't like my kids using the computer out of sight so the laptop is kept where we can see it. We don't have filters or anything because the best filter is to have your kids next to you."
There's also a Sonos wireless music system at home, which Malone says is "super cool", a Nintendo Wii gaming console, a flat-screen Sony television and a couple of on-demand services – FetchTV (which his company sells) and Apple TV.
As a technologist, Malone is most impressed with Apple's ease of use. He bought himself an Apple TV set-top box for Christmas but took three months to open it because he wanted to allow some time to set it up. When he finally got around to it, the process only took about a minute.
Although firmly entrenched in the Apple camp (he remembers Apple computers at school and used Macs at home long before his children were born), Malone says he plans to have another look at an Android phone soon, probably the Samsung Galaxy SII.
He played with the HTC Desire for six months at the start of last year but says the ecosystem has come a long way since then.
Malone bought his first computer as a 12-year-old boy, a Dick Smith System 80 with a black-and-white screen, 4 kilobytes of memory and a tape drive. He saved to upgrade the tape drive before convincing his father to help him buy a 5.25-inch disc drive which, at $600, was too expensive for him to afford in 1983.
Despite its limitations, Malone says he could make those early computers "jump through hoops" and the lack of capacity made him a very disciplined programmer.
He wrote iiNet's first billing system and prototypes of many other systems that are still used by the company today including customer relationship management and human resources.
"I haven't worked on these systems for more than five years now, so the versions in use today are very much the product of our development teams," he says. "But I can claim credit for version 1.0."
Malone has a theory that technology operates in three generations: the first discovers something, the next spreads its use and the third takes its availability for granted but uses it in ways that were never originally envisioned.
Electricity, for example, was developed largely to run mills but by the third generation people were using it to power new inventions such as refrigerators and microwave ovens.
So it is with the internet. First built for military and academic purposes, Malone sees himself as part of the second generation but is fascinated by the perception of his children because they struggle to understand why they can't always get access when out and about.
He says the $36 billion national broadband network is central to delivering the world they already expect to live in.
"Everyone looks at the NBN as faster internet. That's part of it but the two things that are most important are ubiquity and reliability," he says. "The copper network is 35 years old and we are stretching it beyond what it was designed for."

Computed tomography scan (CT Scan)
Your child's doctor wants your child to have computed tomography, commonly called a CT scan. The CT scan can help your doctor see if there is a muscle or bone problem, birth defect, tumor, infection, inflammation, blood clot, internal injuries or bleeding. CT scans use a big, donut-shaped camera to take X-ray pictures of the inside of the body from all sides. A special computer then puts these pictures together to form detailed, three-dimensional views of the area of the body being examined.
What to expect during the test or treatment
- A technologist who is trained to work with children will take your child to a special room, where he or she will be asked to change into a hospital gown. If your child is wearing anything with metal in it, such as glasses, jewelry or a belt, he or she will need to take it off for the test. You can keep these items safe for your child until the test is over.
- The technologist will help your child lie down on a table and will make sure he or she is as comfortable as possible. The table and other equipment in the room are designed just for children.
- The doctor may want your child to take some medicine to make him or her feel very sleepy. This will make it easier for your child to lie very still during the test. It is important to lie very still because movement can make the pictures look blurry. If the pictures are blurry, they will have to be taken again.
- Your child may be given a special liquid, called a contrast dye, which will make the pictures turn out very clear.
- Sometimes, the contrast dye is given as a drink or through a small, soft tube, called an IV, or sometimes both.
- If the contrast dye will be given through a vein, a nurse will gently put a small needle into a vein in your child's arm. The needle is connected to an IV. The contrast dye will enter the vein through the IV tube. When your child is given the contrast dye, he or she may feel warm or a little sick to the stomach as it enters the body. This feeling will not last very long.
- The table is attached to a large, donut-shaped camera, and the table will move inside this camera so the pictures can be taken.
- The technologist will take the pictures from another room but will be able to talk to you and your child through an intercom system.
- The test itself only lasts about 15 minutes, but your child will need to stay a little longer while the technologist makes sure the pictures are clear.
- If your child has an IV, it will be taken out once the pictures have been taken.
- Once your child is fully awake, you and your child will be free to leave.
What to expect after the test or treatment
- Your child may take part in all normal activities as soon as the test is over.
- Drinking lots of fluids without caffeine will help the contrast liquid leave the body faster.
- A radiologist will look at the pictures and send the results to your child's doctor. The radiologist is a doctor who is specially trained in studying pictures like the ones your child had taken.
- Your child's doctor will discuss the results of the test with you and your child.

Ok, so I know this is not massively Mad Men like…. But it is a shirt dress and there are loads of shirt dresses in Mad Men! I wanted a dress I would actually wear and not a costume. I love this material and although it's not completely Mad Men, I HAD to use it! I used McCalls 6503 as the pattern and didn't alter it at all. I wanted something with a small collar, feminine neckline and a gathered skirt so it kinda fit the bill. I had quite a lot of problems with the fit though, as it came up WAY too big and I had to take it in. I added piping which I really like, and cute fabric buttons on the top (just sewn on, no buttonholes). I quite like the pattern I think I might make another version in one colour as this one might be a tad busy. More pics and info on my blog Sleek Silhouette

Headley hurts Diamondbacks again in 8-2 loss
NOTES: Diamondbacks rookie CF Adam Eaton doubled San Diego's Andy Parrino off first base on the fly. John Baker's fly ball looked like it would go over Eaton's head but the fielder tracked it down, stopped, turned around and threw all the way to first. ... The Diamondbacks are off Monday before opening a two-game series at home against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night. The scheduled starters are Arizona's Ian Kennedy (12-11, 4.39) against L.A.'s Joe Blanton (9-12, 4.92). The Padres continue their homestand by opening a three-game series Monday night against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Setting a Standard
Setting a Standard
Standards play a huge role in enterprise applicationsas well as the decision companies make to use a product or notand that role will only get bigger as Web services gain momentum. However, as vendor-led consortia increasingly define the standards that shape enterprise products, its getting tougher to separate standards from vendor politics, posturing and power.
But the worst thing enterprise IT managers could do is to simply sit by and watch it all happen. Indeed, there are a couple of reasons why the time is right to band together with suppliers, customerseven competitorsand dive into the standards process.
First, XML has reached the "recommendation" stage, the highest level of approval from the World Wide Web Consortium. This means that XMLarguably one of the most important standards to come along in the past five yearshas stabilized to the point that industry-specific schemas can be developed without fear that drastic changes will convulse the foundation of the W3Cs work.
Second, IT managers still have a chance to make a significant impact on the groups that are trying to wrestle Web services to the ground. During discussions with industry leaders such as Tim Bray, co-inventor of XML and founder and chief technology officer at Antarctica Systems Inc., eWEEK Labs was pleased to find a desire for feedback from potential customers. (For more on what IT managers should consider before getting involved, click here.)
Inviting as some groups may be, however, the standards world is small and populated with its fair share of technocrats and sharp operators. But participation can be extremely beneficial for IT managers who judiciously allocate staff members to participate in the groups. Engineers from the biggest IT vendors routinely participate in standards groups, and face-to-face networking with these people can yield blunt and sometimes priceless answers and advice on strategic IT projects.
Corporations that assign an IT staff member to work with a standards body will almost certainly have a solid understanding of impending standards. "People on the inside knew well before anyone else that SOAP [Simple Object Access Protocol] and WSDL [Web Services Description Language] were significant and that UDDI [Universal Description, Discovery and Integration] was falling behind," said Bray, in Vancouver, British Columbia.
However, the barriers to participation are significant with most standards groups. These include a commitment of several hours per week just to read and respond to e-mail, not to mention attending as many as six face-to-face meetings a year. Finally, most standards groups support themselves on membership dues that range from nothing at the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) to $50,000 or more per year.
eWEEK Labs defines a good standard as, pretty simply, one that is implemented in a large number of products, can be tested for compliance and creates the greatest amount of interoperability with the lowest incremental cost.
But being "good" isnt enoughstandards must be championed. IT managers should make it clear to vendors that they will use only that portion of a product that conforms to a standard; one that has been enhanced with special extensions will no longer be considered standard-compliant but a proprietary implementation.
To illustrate the point, consider this: SQL is one of the most successful standards in the IT world. Technicians with a proven track record working on one SQL platform are very likely able to work on another with a minimal amount of additional training. Further, and even more importantly, technical staff who can maintain projects produced by these individuals are readily available.
Understanding how standards bodies work is one of the keys to determining which standards to follow. (
The IEEEs working group areas for IT are charged with maintaining the standards upon which wired and wireless networks are built. IT managers can gain good experience working with standards groups by starting with the IEEE because the specifications are generally well-understood by most IT staff, the process is formal and well-documented, and the costs are quite low.
The IEEE 802 networking standard family is a foundation that has barely moved in the past 10 years. The wireless war between 802.11g and 802.11a has been a minor tempest in the otherwise-staid organization, but the IEEEs standards process is well-defined and driven by five "imperative principles": due process, openness, consensus, balance and the right of appeal, according to the groups process guidelines.
The group is also among the oldest in our survey, and it touches medical and communications technologies, among many other areas.
The IETF and its famous requests for Comment, or RFCs (not the least of which define the TCP/IP stack), is a stew of people, open to anyone with time to join an e-mail listserv.
This isnt to say that everyone gets to decide which Internet drafts (works in progress) become RFCs. The power behind the throne is the Internet Engineering Steering Group, a very small group of directors from each area of work.
The IETF has a well-established process that uses working groups and charters inside each of its seven work areas to define standards.
While IETF discussions necessarily focus on future standards, IT managers will get all sorts of useful food for thought about timely issues. For example, a recent exchange in the Benchmarking Methodology working group included very useful discussion about benchmarking wireless networks. The consensus as the discussion neared conclusion was that a new standard for wireless was not needed.
The IETFs wide-ranging discussions and open review usually mean that standards move at a deliberate pace through the process. Most working group charters are viewed as successful when the group ends up with a successful RFC.
The sometimes-plodding nature of the IETFs work process, combined with the desire to use unencumbered technology, may explain the recent proliferation of vendor consortia. However, the fundamental nature of the IETFs work along with its accessible process makes it an ideal place for IT to influence the standards process.
The W3C is hosted by three educational and nonprofit research groups: the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in Cambridge, Mass.; the INRIA (Institut National de Recherche en Imformatique et en Automatique), a network of nonprofit and governmental groups throughout Europe; and Keio University Shonan Fujisawa Campus, in Japan.
During the browser wars of the early 1990s, the W3C attempted to be the neutral group that tried to maintain peace and make progress. To that end, the W3C developed a browser/authoring tool called Amaya that was promptly ignored as a compliance testing resource. If the W3C had had a certification program at the time, the browser wars might have been averted.
Despite the W3Cs inability to put an end to the browser wars, the consortiums work on XML and Web accessibility projectsalong with its success at combining people from the areas of IT, development and academiahas kept it at the center of standards development.
One example of the W3Cs work illustrates many of its best characteristics: The XML protocol SOAP 1.1 originated in the IETF. SOAP 1.1 was presented as a submission request to the W3C in early 2000, after the group performed a number of outreach activities.
W3C paid staff then evaluated SOAP and developed a draft charter that was submitted to the entire W3C membership. The charter defined the scope of the project, along with key requirementsfor example, that the envelope had to be in XML, the protocol had to be in XML and the end result needed to use schemas. The charter also supplied the rationale as to why this work should be done at the W3C.
The membership feedback indicated overwhelming acceptance of the charter but with significant additions. Members wanted the work to be closely coordinated with other standards groups, including the IETF and the electronic business XML work that was jointly sponsored by OASIS and the United Nations.
The XML work generated the largest working group in the W3C, with comments from W3C members and nonmembers and with more than 400 issues raised and resolved in public discussions.
IT managers can monitor the work of the W3C to get a glimpse of cutting-edge efforts to increase the usefulness of the Web. However, the $57,500 membership dues for organizations with moderate revenues will likely keep most IT groups out.
OASIS has a moderate fee structure and a technical committee structure that is similar in many respects to the other bodies in this report. The group is the go-to organization for XML developments in vertical industries, providing specifications for describing and structuring data in XML format.
The mailing lists for each of OASIS technical committees are separated into public and members-only categories, so it isnt always easy for those who cant pony up the membership fees to get the latest scoop on proceedings.
Of the many areas in which OASIS works, IT managers should pay especially close attention to its work on SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language), which became an OASIS standard last November. Like a standard proposed by the Web Services Interoperability Organizationa vendor-dominated bodyOASIS SAML is an attempt to remove some of the biggest hurdles to Web services implementation: a lack of security, interoperability and authorization/ authentication protocols.
Despite OASIS restrictive mail lists, it is still possible to glean quite a bit of information from reports posted by the technical committees. And the industry-specific nature of the technical committees may make it easier to justify a budget line item for OASIS membership.
