IBM's Consistency Becomes Key
SAN FRANCISCO -- IBM's (IBM) second-quarter results later Thursday should come in healthy across its business lines, with special help from a new mainframe server.
The consensus estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters is for revenue growth of 9% to $25.92 billion and earnings growth of 21% to $1.82 a share, excluding special items.
Shares of IBM have clawed their way back from a low of $97.59 early in the year, closing Wednesday at $125.94, just shy of its one-year high of $129.99, recorded at the end of May.
"It's been a stellar stock this year," says Chuck Jones, a buy-side analyst at Atlantic Trust Private Wealth Management. He lauded its gain of greater than 17% since the end of 2007, while the Nasdaq has lost ground.The firm acquired 153,000 shares during the first quarter, for a total of nearly 620,000 at the end of March. "At 13 times forward earnings -- in relation to the market -- it is a bit undervalued," Jones says. "The company's pretty consistent, and we expect them to be consistent even with some economic news in sectors such as banking," said Chris Foster, lead analyst on IBM at Technology Business Research. "The highlights will be in software and services. Hardware looks to be flat." But investors also will be looking to IBM's results for the health of the tech sector overall. "They're a very good barometer for the rest of the industry, because of the nature of longer-term deals," Foster said. "They will be a very good measure of how other companies are going to report."

In what could be a sign of a softening market for cruises, industry leader Carnival today is launching another "cash back" sale on voyages booked by the end of the month.
The "1-2-3 Go! Sale," as the line is calling the promotion, comes on the heels of a similar "cash back" sale at the line in June but applies to more destinations and includes an additional "best available" upgrade component.
The two "cash back" sales -- Carnival's first since last year -- are among a wave of promotions cruise lines have been rolling out the past two months as the economy has shown signs of stalling. In just the last week, three other lines -- Princess Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line and MSC Cruises -- have announced limited-time deals.
The new Carnival promotion is available on a wide variety of three- to eight-day voyages to The Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexico, Alaska, and Hawaii scheduled to depart between August and February 2011. Last month's promotion only covered sailings in The Bahamas, Caribbean and Mexico.
RELATED: Norwegian offers free upgrades with new bookings
RELATED: Princess kicks off sale on Caribbean cruises
ALSO ONLINE: World's largest cruise ship continues to sell at premium
Like last month's offer, bookings under the new promotion must be made by the end of the month.
Carnival says the sale's cash back element will be provided in the form of a shipboard credit that can be redeemed once on board. Passengers will receive a credit of up to $80 per cabin on three- to five-day cruises and up to $160 per cabin on voyages of six days or longer. The credit is automatically applied to on-board accounts and can be redeemed toward shipboard purchases. Any unused funds at the end of the cruise will be returned in the form of a check.
The sale's best available upgrade feature applies to new individual bookings for categories 4A and higher. Upgrades are available within specific cabin accommodation types (i.e., interior to interior, ocean view to ocean view, balcony to balcony).
The cash back and best available upgrade features must be combined with the line's "Fun Select" rates to be eligible for the promotion.
Cruise Loggers, share your thoughts below.

Space Nazis
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (May 2014)
Space Nazis is a recurring theme in many science fiction works dealing with World War II or World War III like situations.
Even before World War II, Edgar Rice Burroughs satirized the Nazis by placing a fascist political faction called "Zanis" on the planet Venus in Carson of Venus, published in serialized form in 1938.
The theme of Nazis escaping into space was already evident in Robert A. Heinlein's Rocket Ship Galileo, published two years after the end of World War II, wherein Nazis colonized the Moon after escape from their defeat on Earth. Later books with a similar premise often involve an alternate history featuring the Nazis winning World War II or extraterrestrials traveling back in time to supply advanced technology to one side (usually Germany). Most of Norman Spinrad's The Iron Dream consists of novel written by alternate-history Adolf Hitler who became a science fiction writer, which ends with cloned SS supermen initiating a galactic empire.
Other premises include a splinter group of Nazis (or their ideology) being introduced to a previously benign planet. In some cases, such as the 2012 film Iron Sky, the Nazis have merely adapted their already advanced technology to reach the Moon.
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (December 2014)
The term "Space Nazis" is also a Killzone fan-coined term referring to the game series' spacefaring enemy faction, the Helghast. The emblem of the Helghast resembles the symbols of far-right nationalist groups like the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging and the German Nazi Party, there are notable similarities in helmet shape and officer uniform design between the Helghast and Nazi Germany, and many Helghast weapons bear the German-sounding "StA" acronym in their names. Furthermore, all games in the series have cutscenes of Helghast leaders giving speeches at large rallies, with strong visual and thematic allusions to Nazi rallies.
The 1988 computer game Rocket Ranger, from Cinemaware, featured a storyline where the Nazis attempted to dominate the world from a lunar base. The gameplay involved using a rocket pack to capture enough equipment to build a rocket, fly to the moon and thwart their plans.
The Black Lance faction in the 1995 game Wing Commander 4 features Nazi-like aesthetic and goals (purification of humanity through constant war and genetic selection via bioweapons).
The 2012 video game Iron Sky: Invasion is a space combat simulator and an expansion of the 2012 movie Iron Sky, with interactive and flyable recreations of numerous alleged prototypes and models of Nazi UFO spacecraft.
The Imperium of Man in the tabletop game Warhammer 40,000 has been dubbed "Catholic Space Nazis" by many fans, due to sharing similar socio-political policies (including an official policy of absolute xenophobia) and militarism of the latter, and the aesthetic of the former.
The now-defunct Stargate SG-1 Roleplaying Game depicted Nazis seizing control of the original Stargate and using it to establish an off-world colony that survived to present day. This was later contradicted by the direct-to-DVD movie Stargate: Continuum, which reinforced the continuity presented in the original Stargate film, depicting the Gate having been shipped to the United States prior to World War II.
The first-person shooter game Wolfenstein: The New Order (2014) said that the Nazis were successfully landed on the moon after their victory in World War II, and they built a base on it. The protagonist B.J. Blazkowicz infiltrates the Nazi lunar base in order to steal a nuclear weapon activation code for the resistance.
Radio, television and movies[edit]
- The July 14, 1950 episode of Dimension X "The Man in the Moon" by George Lefferts concerns a German colony on the moon.
- The antagonist nation Principality of Zeon in Japanese robot animation Mobile Suit Gundam has heavy resemblances to the Axis Power in World War II, especially Nazi Germany.
- Attack from Space (1964): Benevolent aliens from the planet Emerald send superhero Starman to protect Earth from invasion by an evil alien race called the Spherions, warlike creatures of the Sapphire Galaxy. When Starman arrives on Earth, he discovers a conspiracy involving Earth's top scientists, and he must stop the impending alien invasion.
- "Patterns of Force", an episode of Star Trek: The Original Series: The Ekosian civilization copied the Nazi Regime to the point of having similar ideologies, clothing, symbols, etc., in an attempt to emulate Germany's rapid economic recovery during the 1930s; their "Führer", a human named John Gill, is in fact a Federation historian and observer who believed that, while Nazi leaders were evil, the system itself was not, and under benevolent leadership could be a highly effective form of government.
- The film, Starship Troopers, unlike the original book, evokes fascist imagery.
- In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "The Killing Game", a species called the Hirogen emulate the Nazis using Holodeck technology in order to play war games and better understand Earth's history and culture.
- In the Star Trek: Enterprise episodes "Storm Front", parts I and II, a species called the Na'kuhl time-travels to World War II (in a previous temporal journey, they had killed Lenin in 1916, preventing Communism from taking root) and helps the Nazis conquer America.
- Iron Sky (2012): Nazis escaped the fall of Germany in 1945, traveled to the Moon's dark side and established a base. In 2018 they return to Earth to establish the Fourth Reich.

Corporate Management Was Less Successful At Excluding Shareholder Proposals In 2013 Proxy Season, The Conference Board Says
NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- While the number of shareholder proposals filed at U.S. public companies continued to increase this year, management has been less successful at obtaining permission from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to exclude new types of investor demands from the voting ballot. The finding is discussed in Proxy Voting Analytics (2009-2013), released today by The Conference Board in collaboration with FactSet.
The report, which examines data from more than 2,400 annual general meetings (AGMs) held at Russell 3000 companies between January 1 and June 30, 2013, shows that shareholders submitted 769 proposals on a variety of topics, up nearly 6 percent from the 726 recorded during the same period in 2012. Among S&P 500 companies, the number of filed shareholder proposals increased from 585 to 612 (or 4.6 percent). Both indexes, however, showed a sensible decline in the proportion of proposals that were omitted based on no-action relief granted by the SEC staff: from 24.5 to 22.3 percent among Russell 3000 companies and from 27.7 to 23.7 percent in the S&P 500.
"In the last few years, companies increasingly sought guidance from the SEC on the excludability of a variety of new proposal types, especially in the areas of executive compensation and environmental and social policy," says Matteo Tonello, managing director of Corporate Leadership at The Conference Board and coauthor of the report. "In the 2013 proxy season, while no-action requests continued to increase in number, the percentage of exclusions granted by the SEC was lower, in a sign that investors are learning from the most recent interpretive guidance and perfecting the formulation of their new demands so as to comply with securities regulations."
"The proportion of proposals reported as withdrawn also increased, signaling improved engagement between shareholders and companies," says Melissa Aguilar, a researcher at The Conference Board and a coauthor of the study. "Withdrawals were most frequent among proposals related to social and environmental policy and executive compensation, areas where shareholders often use precatory proposals as a way to start a dialogue about their concerns." During the January—June period, the level of proposals withdrawn rose to 10.1 percent, up from 5.9 percent in 2012 for the Russell 3000, and to 11.5 percent for the S&P 500, up from 6.5 percent during the same period last year.Other findings highlighted in the new Proxy Voting Analytics (2009-2013) include:
- Hedge fund proposals started to rebound in 2013, after the sharp decline registered following the record levels of 2009. A more speculative, short-term approach to shareholder activism may be resurfacing, as the economic situation continues to improve.
- Religious groups were also more frequent proponents this year, while labor unions softened their activity amid waning interest in traditional demands for executive compensation disclosure.
- As activist investors begin to shift their attention to new topics, the percentage of voted proposals winning the support of a majority of shareholders reached a five-year low.
- Shareholders continued to challenge management on key governance issues of board declassification and majority voting, in particular by targeting smaller companies. The Harvard Law School Shareholder Rights Project initiated nearly all of the successful proposals seeking to declassify boards.
- Although there has been a resurgence of shareholder proposal activity related to executive compensation, with a focus on new issues, public pension funds were seldom proponents and none of the resolutions voted in 2013 received majority support.
- Despite overall low support and high abstention levels, year-on-year voting results show that certain social and environmental issues—including board diversity, sustainability reporting, and human rights—are steadily gaining traction among investors.
- Political spending and lobbying proposals comprised nearly 40 percent of social and environmental policy proposals in 2013. While overall support remains low, it often depends on the formulation. Average support was higher for traditional proposals seeking more disclosure, while newer variations (such as those requesting a complete ban on political spending or calling for the adoption of a strict ratio between corporate assets and political spending) performed more poorly.
- Shareholders were more successful in getting proxy access proposals onto corporate ballots this year, and two companies submitted their own access proposals to shareholder votes.
- Director opposition levels and the volume of proposals to elect a dissident's nominee continued to remain far below the record numbers of 2009, as say on pay and opportunities for constructive dialogue provide shareholders a more economical alternative to pursue corporate changes.
- Efforts to improve communication of the rationale for executive compensation policies can pay off, with an average increase of nearly 16 percentage points in year-over-year say-on-pay support levels for certain companies.
- Shareholders engaged in more proxy contests and, in a sign that activism as an investment strategy may be evolving further, they started to set their sights on larger companies. Record-low borrowing costs and the search for new asset classes are fueling an increasing interest in shareholder activism tactics by mainstream investors, including pension funds.

I use Day One Journal for writing my own personal entries. It would be great if I could automate this and have changes to Bucketlistly be automatically added to Day One (via their plugins).
I'm sure there's plenty of other things RSS feeds could be used for by other users as well.3 votes
Create a list timeline
This should show the goals you've completed as well as those you've planned for the future - would be nice if it could slide across the screen, as well as controls to easily select the month and year. Month views, yearly views, organize by type (travel, personal growth etc). Of course clicking any goal would take you to the detail page for it1 vote

make an android app ASAP please3 votes
I love the idea and the design but
it take too much time to add a new goal. Furthermore I don't like the big list. It is to difficult if you have many goals, the list is very long and it takes minutes to scroll and to load the site. So I would suggest a better system to organize. In addition like everybody I want own categories.
Btw does anyone look after these suggestions???? And even care????6 votes
Own Categories
I would like to write own categories.6 votes
Have a more consistent points system.
I recieve minimal points for big achievements and vice versa.
Eg going to Sebia & Bosnia got me a total of 1 point, but going to the local zoo gets 5?8 votes
Enable customizable point system
There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to how many points a goal is worth. Also, when making custom goals, the point value is automatically set at 1. Please set up a custom system where users can rate their achievements in point value on their own terms. Some goals may seem more difficult/important to certain users, and the current system does not allow for that. Either allow users to set a point value for a goal between 1 and 100, or to select a value from a set of values (ex: 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100).10 votes
Custom badges and custom categories
Allow users to create custom categories. The current set of six categories isn't enough. Allow users to upload custom buttons for categories and/or provide a large set of badge buttons that users can assign to categories.3 votes
make it possible to import my email-addressbook-contact-file to invite friends
It would make it a lot easier to get your friend to this site and bucketlistly would grooooooooooooow ^_^6 votes
Receive points for inspiring someone to add your goal or achievement.
When someone views through your achievements or goals if they click add then you get a point for being inspiration.4 votes
Create subgoals or sublists of goals
It would keep the list in order. Since some goals are connected to one another, they should be also connected in the list. For example my goal is to learn 3 foreign languges, and my subgoals are to learn Spannish, Japanese and German. Completing one of the subgoals would also mark the progress of the main goal. The same goes for example for traveling: main goal - "Travel around Europe" and subgoals - "visit Spain", "visit France", "visit Germany", etc.15 votes

You can now sort your bucket list by hovering the icon of the goals and move with your mouse. This should now carried to the widget as well.
Hope you like this new feature! :)
Mini Blog for Goals
Each Goal should have a mini blog with photos so users can update and post about progress towards the goal. The journey is every bit as important as the goal itself!5 votes
This is something we are currently exploring. :) Thanks for the suggestion.
enable editing goal name
Once you start a goal you can not change goal name it would be usefull in case of misspell or mistatke16 votesunder review · AdminPete (Founder, Bucketlistly) responded
There's a technical problem in this because goals can be shared by other users. If you change the goal's name, it will also affect other users as well.
The reason behind having goals shared like this is to help keep everything in one place (discussion, tips, photos) instead of having them scatted with similar goals out there. So the best way right now is for you to delete and recreate the goal again and we will clear those empty goals out later for you.
We are currently exploring a way to solve this so if you have any suggestion, please do let us know.

I do not want to open my list to public, but would like my husband to be able to read it.14 votesunder review · AdminPete (Founder, Bucketlistly) responded

We plan to expand the product outreach in the near future so stay tuned.
Short Term vs. Long Term

Michigan Supreme Court suspends Judge McCree
By Associated Press
February 08, 2013 10:24 AM
The Michigan Supreme Court has suspended a Wayne County judge who's accused of having a relationship with a woman whose child-support case was pending in his court.
A court order issued today said Judge Wade McCree of Wayne County Circuit Court is suspended without pay effective immediately. It says his pay will be held in escrow until disciplinary proceedings are resolved.
The court said the file is sealed and will remain confidential until further order.
The high court reprimanded McCree for misconduct in October. He has apologized for sending a shirtless photo of himself to a female court employee.
The Associated Press left a message seeking comment from McCree.

Classic Allure Square Invitations These turned out great. They sent us an example before we had to order all of them. I also really like that you can change the colors right on the website and see what the final product will look like. Other websites have the colors but won't let you change the colors right then so I will always use magnetstreet in the future!

Classic Allure Square Invitations I couldn't have asked for a better quality of invitations everything turned out so perfect and everything was priced so reasonable. I would recommend this site to all the brides
Beautiful Wedding Invitations
Watercolor Poppies Square Invitations I really enjoyed using Magnet Street for several reasons. The simplicity of changing the colors of basically anything (to match your own color scheme), the ease of talking with someone over the phone for additional questions, and the huge selection of templates to choose from are just a few reasons why I loved using this company for my wedding invitations and Save-the-Dates. The option to order "Just One" is extremely helpful, so that you don't regret any small detail you may have missed during the design phase. The ONLY thing I have to say negatively is that we were not sent enough envelopes. Usually, out of courtesy, companies will ship extra, but we actually received less than ordered. Overall, Magnet Street did an excellent job in creating my the perfect wedding invitation. I would highly recommend using them.
Classic Allure Square Invitations My wedding invitations came out perfect! I was a little concerned when I personalized them that the color wouldn't be right but to my surprise it was exactly what I wanted. They were delivered very quickly and I even received more invitations then I ordered! They also offer discount codes I received $75 off of my purchase of $300! I recommend giving them your email address before purchasing to take advantage of any offers that they may be having. I am very satisfied and would recommend this site to any bride!

When You Hear Conservatives Talking About Religious Liberty, Watch Out
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
At the dawn of the Tea Party revolution, many conservatives were optimistic. The prevailing attitude among reporters and insiders alike was that the Republican Party had shed its misguided moralism and embraced hard-nosed economic realism as its core platform. Political author Dick Morris wrote, "No longer do evangelical or social issues dominate the Republican ground troops….There is still a litmus test for admission to the Republican Party. But no longer is it dominated by abortion, guns and gays. Now, keeping the economy free of government regulation, reducing taxation, and curbing spending are the chemicals that turn the paper pink."
New York Times reporter Kate Zernike, author of Boiling Mad: Inside Tea Party America, agreed. "For decades, faith and family have been at the center of the conservative movement. But as the Tea Party infuses conservatism with new energy, its leaders deliberately avoid discussion of issues like gay marriage or abortion."
Yet despite its focus on libertarianism, this new Republican bloc has spent the last three years fighting with unprecedented aggressiveness on the very social issues it was supposedly unconcerned with. Between 2011 and 2013, Republicans enacted 205 anti-abortion laws, more than they had in the prior 10 years combined (189). The Kansas house passed a bill that would give any individual, even essential government employees and hospital workers, the right to deny service to gay people. Though the bill did not pass the senate, similar bills are being introduced in at least nine other states, according to Mother Jones.
So what had changed? More than anything, it was the way that opposition to abortion and gay rights was justified: in the words of BuzzFeed's McKay Coppins, "in terms of protecting religious freedom instead of enforcing 'family values.'" This change made Republicans appear more moderate, but actually signaled a rightward shift. Conservative ideas of religious liberty posited that the government's eventual goal was the oppression of conservative Christians, and compromise on any religious liberty issues—which encompassed abortion, gay rights, and the Affordable Care Act—would be a violation of Christian faith. The notion of religious liberty thus gave small-government politics a cosmic imperative.
The Rhetoric of Religious Liberty
In the last few years, Republicans have become more and more focused on not "paying for abortions." In February, Jeff Jimerson, one of the chief petitioners for a ballot measure in Oregon that would outlaw using state funds to pay for an abortion, summarized this view in the New York Times. Jimerson said, "We don't want to make this a pro-life thing. This is a pro-taxpayer thing. There are a lot of libertarians in Oregon, people who don't really care what you do, just don't make me pay for it."
Jimerson's views happen to be in line with the official 2012 GOP platform, which opposed "using public revenues to promote or perform abortions or fund organizations which perform or advocate it" and said the party would not "fund or subsidize health care which includes abortion coverage."
On the surface, this position may seem a softer stance, perhaps one that could offer a place for abortion rights with a conscience exemption. This makes it all the more strange that the last three years have seen renewed anti-abortion efforts at the state level. Stranger still, the laws passed during the last three years have done very little to block the government from funding abortions: the four most popular restrictions in 2013 were laws that limited insurance coverage, banned abortion pills, instituted 20-week bans, and restricted the function of abortion providers.
How did opposing paying for abortions lead to the largest anti-abortion rights push in memory? According to New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters, "by framing the abortion debate in terms of fiscal conservatism, [Republicans] can make a connection to the issue they believe will ultimately decide who controls Congress next year — the Affordable Care Act."

Factors affecting the incidence of infection in hip and knee replacement: AN ANALYSIS OF 5277 CASES.
Summary of "Factors affecting the incidence of infection in hip and knee replacement: AN ANALYSIS OF 5277 CASES."
Infection remains a significant and common complication after joint replacement and there is debate about which contributing factors are important. Few studies have investigated the effect of the operating time on infection. We collected data prospectively from 5277 hip and knee replacements which included the type of procedure, the operating time, the use of drains, the operating theatre, surgeon, age and gender. In a subgroup of 3449 knee replacements further analysis was carried out using the tourniquet time in place of the operating time. These variables were assessed by the use of generalised linear modelling against superficial, deep or joint-space post-operative infection as defined by the Australian Surgical-Site Infection criteria. The overall infection rate was 0.98%. In the replacement data set both male gender (z = 3.097, p = 0.00195) and prolonged operating time (z = 4.325, p < 0.001) were predictive of infection. In the knee subgroup male gender (z = 2.250, p = 0.02447), a longer tourniquet time (z = 2.867, p = 0.00414) and total knee replacement (versus unicompartmental knee replacement) (z = -2.052, p = 0.0420) were predictive of infection. These findings support the view that a prolonged operating time and male gender are associated with an increased incidence of infection. Steps to minimise intra-operative delay should be instigated, and care should be exercised when introducing measures which prolong the duration of joint replacement.

Santander is one of the most popular cities in Spain, with a population of just below 200,000. It's also the largest city and capital of Cantabria province. There is a main ferry port to the north of the city which acts as a gateway to Northern Spain, being close to Bilbao and Oviedo.
Santander is particularly noted for its coastal geography – a small peninsular surrounded by cliffs against the backdrop of the Cantabrian mountains. It's very much a coastal tourist city with a multitude of sandy beaches and holiday apartment blocks.
There is plenty to see and do in Santander apart from attempting to catch a tan. There are several museums dedicated to both history and the arts, as well as a number of ancient churches including the Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Santander, which was built between the 1100s and the 1300s. Note that much of Santander was damaged in a huge fire that swept through the city in 1941 and burned for two days.
Santander is renowned for its seafood, with fried calamari, seabass and sardines all being noted examples of Santander cuisine, as well as Cocido Montañés, which is a hearty bean stew into which bacon, pork ribs, black pudding and chorizo is added.

1. Changes to Ofsted that will put more onus on schools undertaking systematic self-evaluation using school-level performance data.
2. Pressure on schools to reduce staffing costs. 'Handling' data will not be enough. Data Managers need to be at the hub of managing teachers' research and standardised reporting. In several schools I work with, the 'Data Manager' role is being elevated to a member of the leadership team.
School MIS suppliers are investing in more sophisticated data analysis and presentation functions. We will see the results of this at the BETT2011 show. Also, smaller companies like my own have developed SQL applications that will import data from any MIS and offer a range of new functions, made possible by adding additional information from exam boards, national datasets and 'research' information provided by teachers.
I have mentioned before on these forums that schools need to consider using a range of data tools. Data-confident, self-evaluating schools that can show how they have acted on what they have found out about school standards are the ones where leadership will be judged as 'outstanding'. I have written about this on my popular 'blog' at this link.
If MShakeshaft would like to contact me off list at firstname.lastname@example.com I would very much like to learn more and help if I can (no costs involved).

New Advances in Contemporary Survival Analysis
Call for Papers
Survival analysis deals with time-to-event data subject to censoring and/or truncation. It remains an active research area with complicated time-to-event data emerging in application areas including medicine, astronomy, and engineering. Several lines of research have been pursued in this area. First, multidimensional survival data have stimulated several modeling approaches, including the frailty model and robust inference for clustered data, competing risks and multistate analysis for multiple endpoints and transitions between states, and joint modeling of survival and longitudinal data. Second, time-to-event data in many real applications contain complicated incompleteness such as interval and double censoring. These have motivated the development of novel approaches for dealing with various types of incompleteness. Third, data exhibiting nonproportional hazards have inspired flexible modeling approaches such as additive hazards models and semiparametric transformation models. Finally, innovative modeling techniques have been developed to handle common practical problems like variable selection and missing covariates in survival data. This special issue aims to provide a forum for researchers to present new works in these directions. Authors are invited to submit original research and review articles that will stimulate interest in contemporary survival analysis.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Joint modeling of longitudinal and survival data
- Interval censored, doubly censored, or truncated survival data
- Modeling survival data with missing covariates
- Competing risks, cure rate analysis, and multistate models
- Semiparametric transformation models
- Multivariate survival analysis
- Model selection in survival analysis

So apparently when you "BUY" a TV Show or Movie off of the PlayStation Store...you have the right to download it and watch it whenever and wherever you want. That is unless your hard drive gets corrupted or you choose to upgrade your HDD...or maybe even your PlayStation screws up and you have to purchase another. If that's the case then you must pay for and "BUY" everything all over again.
When your purchase any videogame content on the PS Store it goes into your download queue so you can re-download it anytime you want. I have never been a big fan of Digital Distribution, but lately I figured I'd start purchasing more digitally both to save some shelf space at my house and because I'm super lazy and the process of swapping discs every time I want to play/watch something else is a much more difficult process than it should be.
But once my HDD started getting full and I had to delete games to make room for other things I decided to upgrade my Hard drive. Sony has made that process simple enough with the PS3 so once I finished the upgrade I decided to start the downloading process of getting all of "my" (and I use that term loosely) stuff back. I then sign into the PlayStation Store, go to the "My Downloads" list and one buy one click on each thing I've purchases to install on my new hard drive only to realize the none of the TV Shows or Movies I have purchased are in my Download queue.
I then start searching for the shows I had purchased, go to episode I should "OWN" only to find the "Rent/Buy" options again. Now if O rent something... I know the routine. A certain amount of time to watch whatever it is you had chosen before its deleted...But when I buy something, Now call me crazy but I expect it to be...well...MINE. I should be able to watch it where I want, when I want, and re-download out when I want. Now I'm not asking to be able to take whichever movies and TV Shows I want and let all my friends download them to their systems as well...NO, I just want to be able to take what I **** bought and download it back to the same system I purchased the God Damn thing on.
I'm in no way doing this to hate on Sony or anything like that...but this is one of the dumbest things I've ever came across. I can buy anything from Amazon, Vudu, iTunes etc and re-download it at anytime without paying one cent more than I already paid. I usually get enjoyment of reading news articles about some stupid people who decide to sue a random company for something only to have it thrown out the window because it was without merit. But I have no idea how there hasn't been some class action lawsuit over this already. I have spent my fair share of money on TV Shows and movies from the PlayStation store but I know there's people who have spent thousands...and if their HDD gets corrupted then what? They're just SoL?
I just had to get this little rant out because I'm still annoyed at the moment. If you've had good experiences with DD then that's awesome...but if you've had similar experiences to mine than you know where I'm coming from. Feel free to shared your experiences, good or bad, in the comments if you'd like. Thanks for reading my rant and Sony has already lost my trust in buying from them digitally...I've already given them enough money and now I feel as if they've said "Thank You, Now go **** yourself".

This little robot wants to swim through your bowels
Getting your colon looked at isn't the most pleasant experience in the world, but this new device from Japanese researchers could make things a little less painful.
It's the world's first self-propelled endoscopy device, which would swim its way through your digestive tract in a matter of hours. Because it's self-propelled, it can be inserted into the digestive tract from either end. Yeah, that means what you think it does. Yikes.
It's piloted remotely via joystick, and it has a built-in camera to show what it sees. It's all pretty crazy, like a real-life version of Inner Space but without people having to be shrunk down to control the ship.

This app seems the best way to manage those bulky manuscripts without it getting lost in transit. Perhaps, you add a copyright digital signature to each document ( which covers the entire Ms) and you are away. Its a much better way to organise the volume of work that piles up on a writers hard drive and clutters your thinking. Check it out.

The three month public comment period on Mayor Bloomberg's proposed ban on "large sugared drinks" has commenced. And Starbucks is trying to figure out how, if at all, the pending law might affect them. Officials in City Hall and in Seattle said they were unsure how those rules might affect the Starbucks family of syrupy, milkshake-style coffee drinks, catnip to thousands of caffeine-addicted New Yorkers who frequent the company's 190 outlets in Manhattan.

ANGEL OF DEATH; Twisted nurse poisoned his patients so he could help save them.
A NURSE who poisoned his patients for kicks was yesterday found guilty of murder.
Benjamin Geen used drugs to stop patients breathing so he could "enjoy the excitement" of helping to revive them, a court heard.
Geen even "boasted" about the regular action during his shifts and told one doctor: "There is always a resuscitation when I'm on duty."
A jury at Oxford Crown Court convicted him of murdering David Onley, 75, and Anthony Bateman, 66. David died 15 days after Anthony in January 2004.
Geen was also found guilty of 15 grievous bodily harm charges.
Det Supt Andy Taylor, who led the police probe, said: "Geen abused his position of trust.
"We may never know what motivated him to select and poison his victims but it is clear he wanted to be the centre of attention."
Geen, 25, was caught after doctors were left bewildered by the number of respiratory failures - normally a rare event - at Horton General in Banbury, Oxfordshire.
The case of an alcoholic who was admitted with stomach pains but ended up in intensive care led them to Geen.
They found that the man - who nearly died - had been given a muscle relaxant and a sedative doctors hadn't prescribed.
A review of hundreds of other suspicious cases between December 2003 and February 2004 uncovered 18 in which Geen was involved.
Geen, of Banbury, also used other drugs, including insulin, to send victims to the point of death.
He was arrested when he arrived for work in February 2004. A syringe of muscle relaxant was in his pocket.
Geen was convicted after a two-month trial.
Michael Austin Smith QC, prosecuting, told the court that killing was a price Geen was "willing to pay in order to satisfy his perverse needs".
He said: "He must have known it but it did not stop him after Mr Bateman.
"Mr Onley died too and still it didn't stop him because other people followed on from that.
"People were at death's door. Most were lucky - two were not.
"And when Geen went back to work with that loaded syringe, was there somebody else who was extremely lucky that the authorities had nailed their man?"
Emphysema sufferer Harold Boss, 66, survived an assault by Geen. The nurse turned up his oxygen supply, knowing that made it more difficult for him to breath.
Harold turned blue and lapsed into a coma but medics were able to save him. He has since died.
His widow Valerie said yesterday: "I would tell Geen to rot in hell. I feel sick that he apparently did it because he got pleasure out of it."
Esther Jordan went downhill after being left in a cubicle with Geen.
Doctors feared she may die but she recovered from her ordeal. The 79-year-old cancer patient died days before Geen's trial.
Geen was cleared of a 16th GBH count. Judge Mr Justice Crane put off sentencing for reports.
EVIL: Geen arrives at the court yesterday. He was found guilty of murdering two patients at the hospital where he worked' VICTIMS: From left, David Onley, who was murdered by Geen, Esther Jordan and Harold Boss

AV & Presentation | News
Mitsubishi has introduced two dual-lamp DLP projectors and two 3D-ready DLP projectors. The announcements were made at the InfoComm 2010 conference in Las Vegas, NV last week.
The dual-lamp projectors, dubbed the XD8100U and XD8200U, are designed to be continuous-use projectors with bulbs that require only one hour of shut down for every week of operation.
The XD8100U offers a 1,024 x 768 (XGA) resolution and a brightness of 7,000 lumens, while the XD8200U offers a 1,280 x 800 (WXGA) resolution and a brightness of 5,000 lumens.
On both systems, lamp settings that switch between single- and dual-bulb modes and a heat pipe cooling system that's similar to a car radiator are used to enable non-stop operation. In addition, the cooling system operates without the use of a cooling fan, minimizing noise during operation.
Other features common to the two models include:
The two 3D-ready projectors, the EW230U-ST and the EX270U, feature 1,280 x 800 (WXGA) native resolutions and offer RJ-45 connectivity, with Crestron RoomView Software for management, monitoring, and control.
The EW230U-ST is a short-throw model with a brightness of 2,400 lumens, while the EX270U sports a longer throw distance and offers a brightness of 2,600 lumens.
Common features include support for HDMI video sources, 4,000 hours of lamp life, direct power off, a security bar, and RS-232 control.
All four projectors are covered by a three-year limited parts and labor/one year lamp warranty.
Further information can be found here.
