Microsoft Lets Best Buy Sell Surface Tablet, But Not Channel Partners
From a Microsoft channel partner's perspective, what's worse: Not being allowed to sell the Surface tablet, or seeing a loathed big-box retailer get that privilege?
That's what happened this week when Microsoft, in a slight widening of its initial Surface tablet distribution plan, began letting Best Buy and Staples carry the device. Microsoft says it's boosting production of Surface tablets, so perhaps this is a case of it needing more distribution hands on deck. Or, it could be that Surface sales through Microsoft stores and kiosks aren't cutting it, and the software giant is turning to companies that specialize in moving computing equipment.

Heroes and anti-heroes dominate this week's new DVD releases.
"Man of Steel": The film hits many of the major points in the Superman saga: He was born on Krypton, raised by Kansas parents, falls for spunky Lois Lane and fights a threat that could wipe out Earth.
These same points were touched on with far more energy and passion in the Christopher Reeve movies of the late '70s and early '80s, or through the more sensitive take in the 2006 relaunch, "Superman Returns," with Brandon Routh playing the DC Comics hero.
This familiar transformation of the comic book character to the big screen is the film's biggest piece of kryptonite. The movie travels little new ground — except for an expanded stay on Krypton and a darker tone — and is just a competent retelling of the tale. There's nothing super about it.
"Turbo": A snail gains enough speed to enter the Indy 500.
The tale of a snail that becomes so supercharged he gets to compete in a famous car race is a victim of bad timing, uninspired animation and voice talents that range from perfect to perfectly awful.
There's nothing wrong with the animation. But, except for the computer-generated Indy cars, there's nothing visually exciting. The simple look of snails doesn't give the animators a lot to work with. There are some shell differences, but overall the snails look similarly bland.
And, for a movie about a snail, there's no sense of size. Director David Soren needed to show what the world looks like from a snail's point of view.
"Dexter: The Complete Final Season": Although the cable series about a serial killer who works for the Miami police went out on a flat note, the series is still very strong. That's reason enough to pick up this set, which includes the final 12 episodes of the often bone-chilling Showtime series.
Also new on DVD:
"Burning Love: Complete First Season": TV comedy that pokes fun at romance reality shows.
"Dallas: The Complete Second Season": Includes the final episodes with the late Larry Hagman.
"Ip Man: The Final Fight": Legendary teacher and Wing Chun grandmaster returns to the screen.
"Combat!: The Complete Series": Vic Morrow starts in TV's longest-running World War II series (152 episodes).
"Maz Jobrani: I Come in Peace": Founding member of Axis of Evil Comedy Tour stars in comedy special.
"The Day Kennedy Died": Interviews and rarely seen footage look at the hours leading up to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
"Paradise": Academy Award-winner Diablo Cody directs this tale of innocence lost and paradise found.
"The Carol Burnett Show: Christmas With Carol": Includes three hours of holiday comedy from the variety show.
"Silk: Series One": BBC series about the battle to be part of the Queen's Counsel.
"The Naughty List": Two young elves sneak off for some playtime.
"Barney: Perfectly Purple": It's rainbows of sharing, caring and imagination with the T-Rex and his dino pals.
"Prince Avalanche": Odd couple tale that explores some of life's biggest questions.
"Ambushed": Thriller about the law's battle to keep order. Dolph Lundgren stars.
"Stan Lee's Superhumans — Season Two": Stan Lee's guide through the history of people with extraordinary powers.

Individuals with autism are no more likely to have celiac disease than those without the developmental disorder, according to findings from a large new study.
Researchers looked at health records from more than 250,000 people in Sweden, comparing several national databases of patient records to assess the prevalence of celiac disease among those with autism as compared to individuals without the developmental disorder.
They found no difference in prevalence of celiac disease between the two groups, according to findings published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Psychiatry.
However, individuals with autism were more likely to have a positive antibody test, which is common for those with celiac disease, though in order to be diagnosed with the condition, a person must have signs of intestinal damage as well.
In individuals with celiac disease, eating gluten prompts an immune system response that can damage the small intestine. The condition is estimated to affect about 1 to 2 percent of the population.
In recent years, many parents of kids with autism have put their children on gluten-free diets hoping to improve symptoms of the developmental disorder.

It makes me wander; haw is possible to make comparing between "healthy" and gluten sensitive people, when no reliable test for gluten sensitivity is available.
Would a postitive antibody reaction mean an allergy to gluten? You didn't clarify how the increased antibody reaction would effect those with autism or how the diets may help some people with autism.
The headline on this article is mis-leading, as the study did actually find a correlation between individuals with positive celiac disease serological results (but no intestinal damage) and risk/rates of ASD. I don't have access to the full article, so it would be helpful if Disability Scoop tried to provide a fuller examination of these results.
I would be interested to learn more about the prevalence of GI disorders of all kinds among people on the spectrum. I have long suffered with GERD and IBS and I have heard that other autistics struggle with similar maladies.
I am forwarding this to Jenny McCarthy!
Please go to the IACC web site and watch the July 2013 meeting broadcast. At this meeting, Dr. Timothy Buie, of MGH Ladders program talks about treating children with autism who have serious GI issues. Buie also delves into latest research on GI problems in children with autism.

(George) Bernard Shaw[1] (July 26, 1856 – November 2, 1950) was an Irish-British playwright and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925 and the Academy Award in 1938 for Pygmalion. After those of William Shakespeare, Shaw's plays are some of the most widely produced in English language theatre.citation needed LifeBorn at 33 Synge Street in Dublin, Ireland to rather poor Church of Ireland parents, Shaw was educated at Wesley College, Dublin and moved to London during the 1870s to embark on his literary career. He wrote five novels, none of which were published, before finding his first success as a music critic on the Star newspaper. He wrote his music criticism under the pseudonym Corno di Bassetto. In the meantime he had become involved in politics, and served as a local councillor in the St Pancras district of London for several years from 1897. He was a noted socialist who took a leading role in the Fabian Society.[2] From 1895 to 1898, Shaw was the drama critic of the Saturday Review.citation needed In 1898, he married an Irish heiress, Charlotte Payne-Townshend. Shaw completed his first play, Widower's Houses, in 1892. He would write over 50 plays, most of them full-length. Many of his earliest works had to wait years to receive major productions in London, but they are still playing today. Among them are Mrs. Warren's Profession (1893), Candida (1893), Arms And The Man (1894) and You Never Can Tell (1895). His first financial success as a playwright came from Richard Mansfield's American production of The Devil's Disciple (1897). Shaw became a popular playwright in America and Germany before he was so in London. His plays at this point tend to become less compact, talkier, but no less successful. These works include Casesar And Cleopatra (1899), Man And Superman (1903), Major Barbara (1905) and The Doctor's Dilemma (1906). From 1904 to 1907, several of his plays has their London premieres in notable productions at the Court Theatre, managed by Harley Granville-Baker and JE Vedrenne. By this time, Shaw was a well-established playwright in his own country. New works such as Fanny's First Play (1911) and Pygmalion (1913) – which My Fair Lady was based on – had long runs in front of large audiences. Shaw opposed World War I and became very unpopular with many of his fellow citizens. His work after the War was, in general, darker, though still full of the Shavian wit. His first full-length play after the war, written mostly during it, was Heartbreak House (1919). In 1923, he completed Saint Joan (1923), a play that brought him international fame and led to his Nobel Prize in Literature. He continued writing plays for the rest of his life, but very few of them are as notable--or as often revived--as his earlier work. Probably his most popular work of this era was The Apple Cart (1928). His last full-length work was Bouyant Billions, (1949), written when he was in his nineties. A characteristic of Shaw's published plays is the lengthy prefaces that accompany them. In these essays, Shaw wrote more about his usually controversial opinions on the issues touched by the plays than about the plays themselves. Some prefaces are much longer than the actual play.[3] Shaw died in 1950 at the age of 94 due to a fall from a ladder.[4] After his deathBy the time of his death, Shaw was not only a household name in Britain, but a world figure. His ironic wit endowed the language with the adjective "Shavian" to refer to such clever observations as "England and America are two countries divided by a common language."[5] From 1906 until his death, Shaw lived at Shaw's Corner in the small village of Ayot St Lawrence, Hertfordshire. The house is now a National Trust property, open to the public. Concerned about the inconsistency of English spelling, he willed a portion of his wealth to fund the creation of a new phonemic alphabet for the English language. On his death bed, he did not have much money to leave, so no effort was made to start such a project. However, his estate began to earn significant royalties from the rights to Pygmalion when My Fair Lady, a musical adapted from the play by his comrade film producer Gabriel Pascal, became a hit. It then became clear that the will was so badly worded that the relatives had grounds to challenge the will, and in the end an out-of-court settlement granted only a small portion of the money to promoting a new alphabet. This became known as the Shavian alphabet. The National Gallery of Ireland, RADA and the British Museum all received substantial bequests. The Shaw Theatre, Euston Road, London was opened in 1971 and named in his honour. The Shaw Festival, an annual theater festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, began as an eight week run of Don Juan in Hell and Candida in 1962 and has grown into an annual festival with over 800 performances a year, dedicated to producing the works of Shaw and his contemporaries. Friends and correspondentsShaw, in his lifetime, maintained correspondence with hundreds of personages, many notable and many not.citation needed His letters to and from Mrs. Patrick Campbell were adapted for the stage by Jerome Kilty as Dear Liar: A Comedy of Letters; as was his correspondence with the poet Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas (the intimate friend of Oscar Wilde), into the drama Bernard and Bosie: A Most Unlikely Friendship by Anthony Wynn. His letters to the prominent actress, Ellen Terry, the boxer Gene Tunney, and H.G. Wells have also been published. Shaw campaigned against the executions of the rebel leaders of the Easter Rising, and he became a personal friend of the Cork-born IRA leader Michael Collins, whom he invited to his home for dinner while Collins was negotiating the Anglo-Irish Treaty with Lloyd-George in London. After Collins's assassination in 1922, Shaw sent a personal message of condolence to one of Collins's sisters. Shaw had a long time friendship with G. K. Chesterton, the Catholic-convert British writer, and there are many humorous stories about their complicated relationship. Another great friend was the composer Edward Elgar.citation needed Shaw's correspondence with the motion picture producer Gabriel Pascal, who was the first to successfully bring Shaw's plays to the screen and who later adapted Pygmalion into "My Fair Lady," is published in a book titled Bernard Shaw and Gabriel Pascal (ISBN 0802030025). A stage play based on a book by Hugh Whitemore, The Best of Friends, provides a window on the friendships of Dame Laurentia McLachlan, OSB (late Abbess of Stanbrook) with Sir Sydney Cockerell and Shaw through adaptations from their letters and writings. Socialism and political beliefsShaw had a vision (letter to Henry James of January 17, 1909):
Shaw held that each class worked towards its own ends, and that those from the upper echelons had won the struggle; for him, the working class had failed in promoting their interests effectively, making Shaw highly critical of the democratic system of his day. The writing of Shaw, such as his plays Major Barbara and Pygmalion, has a background theme of class struggle. Shaw's second career — after the theatre — was in support of socialism. In 1882 Henry George's lecture on land nationalization gave depth and direction to Shaw's political ideology. Shortly thereafter he applied to join the Social Democratic Federation. Its leader H. M. Hyndman introduced him to the works of Karl Marx. Instead, in May of 1884 he joined the newly-formed Fabian Society. He played a pivotal role with the Fabian Society and wrote a number of their pamphlets. He argued that property was theft and for an equitable distribution of land and capital. He was involved with the formation of the Labour Party. For a clear statement of his positioncitation needed read The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism, Capitalism, Sovietism, and Fascism. Despite the fact that he identified as being a democratic socialist, in the 1930s Shaw approved of the regime of Stalin and also made some ambiguous statements that are often interpretedcitation needed as being pro-Hitler. In 1945, his preface to the play Geneva staked a claim that the majority of the victims of the Nazi extermination camps had in fact died of "overcrowding". However, he also stated that Hitler had become a "mad messiah" over time. Shaw contrasted this with the situation in the Soviet Union where, according to Shaw, "Stalin... made good by doing things better and much more promptly than parliaments". Shaw also made numerous anti-semitic comments at this time, although the extent to which he was merely being ironic or provocative is unclear. VegetarianismBernard Shaw was a noted vegetarian. The following was taken from the archives of The Vegetarian Society UK[6]:
Unique AccomplishmentShaw has the unique distinction to be the only Nobel Laureate who also won an Oscar for Adapted Screenplay, 1938. Sesquicentennial Anniversary of BirthA programme of readings, guided tours and performances take place at 33 Synge Street, Dublin, the place of Shaw's birth, between July 22 and 29 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of his birth which is on July 26, 2006. The National Gallery of Ireland, which regards Shaw as a generous benefactor, will have a series of celebratory festivities for the remainder of 2006. Several conferences are to be held across the globe and there will be theatre readings of all 52 Shaw plays. Trivia

Puerto Madero
Faena Hotel + Universe
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Fashion-impresario Alan Faena and design "bad boy" Philippe Starck have transformed an abandoned century-old grain depository into the 105-room Faena Hotel + Universe. The outside may be prosaic, but the inside is pure Starck. A curtain-draped hallway lures guests to various corners of the "Universe," among them the Library Lounge, a clubby space outfitted with chesterfields and antique lamps, and El Cabaret, a late-night stop for local bands. Absent are reception and concierge desks. Instead, each guest is assigned three "experience managers" who are responsible for check-in, checkout, and fulfilling any wish.

Clinical Trials to Start for Blood Sugar Breathalyzer
Researchers at Western New England University have developed a breathalyzer-like device that can monitor blood glucose levels. Polymers in the breathalyzer react with acetone, a ketone that is produced in people with diabetes when there is a lack of insulin and fat is used as fuel.
The researchers will begin two controlled clinical trials later this year, and will continue into 2015. They will compare results with standard methods using glucose monitors as well as blood draws in a lab. They will also analyze any interference from smoking, types of food, and timing of food.
Humidity had previously interfered the breathalyzer, but researchers have addressed that issue.
(Editor's Note: Diabetes Health previously reported on this technology in article No. 8054, "Breath Test Could Someday End Finger Pricks.")

Sorry, girls: Jake Owen "can't love you" now. The 30-year-old country singer and his model fiancée Lacey Buchanan said, "I do," during a barefoot beach ceremony at sunrise on Monday morning in Vero Beach, Fla. (Owen's hometown). "That was my idea, because it's symbolic of the dawn of a new day and starting our new life together," Owen tells People.
Owen met Buchanan when she appeared in his music video for "8 Second Ride." They started dating after the release of "Barefoot Blue Jean Night." (Yes, Buchanan starred in this video). Owen proposed to Buchanan during an onstage performance in April. "I'm looking forward to being a husband, someone his wife relies and leans on," Owen said.

DJA is one of the most underrated factors in the music game right now. If you aren't familiar, he moved from Louisville to Philly and "began working with Diplo and Mad Decent as a producer and engineer." I doubt many people can list this as their first gig in the industry. He had a project with Paul Devro called Toadally Krossed Out. He and Dirty South Joe have a highly successful mixtape series, "Blood Bros." He's a sick DJ, and has produced records for Lil Wayne, Lil Twist, Wale, 2 Chainz, Rittz, and a stack more. He's signed to Mad Decent. Everything is in place, except the touring.
One reason is that he has tinnitus, which means he hears sounds that don't actually exist. He played music at loud volumes for years, and to prevent further damage, is taking the proper steps to protect his hearing. This has turned him into a studio rat, creating records and digging for new sounds at a furious pace. This mix shows just how deep his crates are though. He also missed the timing of the whole EDM bubble. Must suck being years ahead of the curve.
The influence from his roots in the south is apparent. Young Dro, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Rich Homie Quan, and Juicy J are sprinkled in, and this tracklist reads like the personal collection of anyone that was around 10 years ago and actually cared about the rap music that was being released below the Mason-Dixon line. And as we continue to beat you over the head with the importance of those that know how to mix and mash influences, DJA is one that you really need to pay attention to. I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I did.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, a Cold War cornerstone of transatlantic security, has significantly recast its role in the past twenty years. Founded in 1949 as a bulwark against Soviet aggression, NATO has evolved to confront global threats ranging from piracy off the Horn of Africa to Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan. But while the modern NATO is generally more recognized for its role beyond rather than within Europe, Russian actions in recent years, particularly its 2014 intervention in Ukraine, have refocused the alliance's attention on the continent. Recent developments have also exposed unresolved tensions over NATO's expansion into the former Soviet sphere.
A Post-Cold War Pivot
After the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991, Western leaders intensely debated the future direction of the transatlantic alliance. The Clinton administration favored expanding NATO to both extend its security umbrella to the east and consolidate democratic gains in the former Warsaw Pact. Others wished to peel back the Pentagon's commitments in Europe with the fading of the Soviet threat.
Across the Atlantic, NATO allies were also split on the issue. London feared enlargement would dilute the alliance, while Paris believed it would give NATO too much influence. Many in France hoped to integrate former Soviet states via European institutions. There was also concern about alienating Russia.
For the White House, the decision held larger meaning. "[President Clinton] considered NATO enlargement a litmus test of whether the U.S. would remain internationally engaged and defeat the isolationist and unilateralist sentiments that were emerging," wrote Ronald D. Asmus, one of the intellectual architects of NATO expansion, in Opening NATO's Door (2002).
In his first trip to Europe as president (January 1994), Clinton announced that NATO enlargement was "no longer a question of whether but when and how." Just days before, alliance leaders approved the launch of the Partnership for Peace, a program designed to strengthen ties with Central and Eastern European countries, including many former Soviet republics like Russia, Ukraine, and Georgia.
Headquartered in Brussels, NATO is a consensus-based alliance, where decisions reflect the membership's collective will. But individual states or subgroups of allies may initiate action outside NATO auspices.
Beyond Collective Defense
Many defense planners also felt that a post-Cold War vision for NATO needed to look beyond collective defense�Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty states that "an armed attack against one or more [member states] in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all"�and focus on confronting acute instability outside its membership. "The common denominator of all the new security problems in Europe is that they all lie beyond NATO's current borders," said Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) in a 1993 speech titled "NATO: Out of Area or Out of Business."
The breakup of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s and the onset of bloody ethnic conflict tested the alliance on this point almost immediately. What began as a mission to impose a UN-sanctioned no-fly zone over Bosnia and Herzegovina evolved into a bombing campaign on Bosnian Serb forces that military experts say was essential in ending the conflict. It was during Operation Deny Flight (April 1994) that NATO conducted its first combat operations in its forty-year history, shooting down four Bosnian Serb aircraft.
NATO Operations
As of 2014, NATO pursues five missions: peacekeeping operations in Kosovo; anti-terrorism patrols in the Mediterranean Sea; anti-piracy in the Gulf of Aden and off the Horn of Africa; assistance to the African Union in Somalia; and the top alliance priority, the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) mission in Afghanistan.
Headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, NATO is a consensus-based alliance, where decisions reflect the membership's collective will. But individual states or subgroups of allies may initiate action outside NATO auspices. For instance, the United States, France, and the UK began policing a UN-sanctioned no-fly zone in Libya in early 2011, and within days transferred command of the operation to NATO (once Turkish concerns had been managed). At the same time, all member states are not required to participate in every operation. For instance, Germany and Poland declined to contribute directly to the campaign in Libya.
NATO's military structure is split between two strategic commands: the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe located near Mons, Belgium, and the Allied Command Transformation located in Norfolk, Virginia. The Supreme Allied Commander Europe, always a U.S. flag or general officer (currently Gen. Philip M. Breedlove) heads all NATO military operations. Although the alliance has an integrated command, most forces remain under their respective national commands until NATO-specific operations commence.
NATO's secretary general (currently Denmark's Anders Fogh Rasmussen) serves a four-year term as chief administrator and international envoy. (Former Norwegian prime minister Jens Stoltenberg will take office October 2014.) The North Atlantic Council is the alliance's principal political organization, composed of high-level delegates from each member state.
Sharing the Burden
The primary financial contribution made by member states is the cost of deploying their respective armed forces for NATO-led operations. (These expenses are not part of the formal NATO budget, which funds civilian and military headquarters and certain security infrastructure.) As of 2014, the Pentagon accounted for more than 70 percent of all NATO defense spending, up from half during the Cold War.
Many U.S. officials have been critical of European members for hollowing their defenses. In 2006, members committed to spending 2 percent of GDP on defense, but by 2012 just four met this target�the United States, Britain, Greece, and Estonia.
In his final policy speech as U.S. defense secretary in June 2011, Robert Gates criticized the weakness of some NATO members, saying that "many of those allies sitting on the sidelines do so not because they do not want to participate, but simply because they can't. The military capabilities simply aren't there." He also reiterated his fears of a "two-tiered alliance," where some members specialize in "soft" humanitarian missions and others in "hard" combat roles.
Secretary-General Rasmussen echoed this concern in his 2012 annual report, warning of "an ever greater military reliance on the United States, and growing asymmetries in capability in European allies. This has the potential to undermine alliance solidarity and puts at risk the ability of the European allies to act without the involvement of the United States."
Afghanistan and ISAF
NATO invoked its collective defense provision (Article V) for the first time following the September 11 attacks on the United States, perpetrated by the al-Qaeda terrorist network based in Afghanistan. Shortly after U.S.-led forces toppled the Taliban regime in Kabul, the UN Security Council authorized an International Security Assistance Force to support the new Afghan government. NATO officially assumed command of ISAF in 2003, assuming its first operational commitment beyond Europe. The fact the alliance was used in Afghanistan "was revolutionary," said NATO expert Stanley Sloan in a 2012 CFR interview. "It was proof the allies have adapted [NATO] to dramatically different tasks than what was anticipated during the Cold War."
But some critics questioned NATO's battlefield cohesion despite the historic nature of the mission in Afghanistan. The allies agreed on the central goals�the stabilization and reconstruction of Afghanistan�but some members restricted their forces from participating in counterinsurgency missions and put operational restrictions on them, a practice known as "national caveats." Troops from the United States, Britain, Canada, and the Netherlands saw some of the heaviest fighting and bore the largest casualties, stirring resentments among alliance states.
As of June 2014, there were roughly fifty-thousand ISAF troops [PDF] from nearly fifty countries (twenty-eight NATO) serving in Afghanistan, of which thirty-three thousand were U.S. forces. Most are scheduled to leave the country by the end of 2014.
Many current and former Russian leaders believe the alliance's inroads into the former Soviet sphere are a clear betrayal of alleged guarantees to not expand eastward after German reunification in 1990.
Relations With Russia
Moscow has viewed NATO's post-Cold War expansion in Central and Eastern Europe with great concern. (As of 2014, twelve Partnership for Peace members have joined NATO.) Many current and former Russian leaders believe the alliance's inroads into the former Soviet sphere are a betrayal of alleged guarantees to not expand eastward after German reunification in 1990�although some U.S. officials involved in these discussions dispute this pledge.
To be sure, most Western leaders knew the risks of enlargement. "If there is a long-term danger in keeping NATO as it is, there is immediate danger in changing it too rapidly. Swift expansion of NATO eastward could make a neo-imperialist Russia a self-fulfilling prophecy," wrote then secretary of state Warren Christopher in the Washington Post in January 1994.
Over the years, NATO and Russia have made significant attempts toward reconciliation, particularly with their signing of the 1997 Founding Act, which established an official forum for bilateral discussions, but experts say that a persistent lack of trust has plagued relations.
NATO's Bucharest summit in the spring of 2008 sharply deepened the distrust. The alliance delayed Membership Action Plans for Ukraine and Georgia but declared its support for eventual full membership for both, despite repeated warnings from Russia of political and military consequences. Russia's invasion of Georgia in the summer was a clear signal of Moscow's intentions to protect what it sees as its sphere of influence, experts say.
In 2014, Russia's annexation of Crimea and alleged military support for separatists in eastern Ukraine, including the provision of heavy weaponry, will likely poison relations with NATO for the foreseeable future. "We clearly face the gravest threat to European security since the end of the Cold War," said Secretary-General Rasmussen of Russia's intervention.
In a March 2014 address honoring the annexation of Crimea, President Vladimir Putin made explicit Russia's deep-seated grievances with the alliance. "They have lied to us many times, made decisions behind our backs, placed us before an accomplished fact. This happened with NATO's expansion to the East, as well as the deployment of military infrastructure at our borders," Putin told Russia's parliament. "In short, we have every reason to assume that the infamous [Western] policy of containment, led in the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries, continues today."
Another perennial point of contention has been NATO's ballistic missile defense shield, which is being deployed across Europe in several phases. The United States, which developed the technology, says the system is only designed to guard against limited missile attacks, particularly short- and mid-range strikes from Iran. However, the Kremlin says the technology could be updated and fears it may eventually tip the strategic balance toward the West. "The military people realize missile defense is part of the strategic arsenal of the United States," Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said in February 2014. "When a nuclear shield is added to a nuclear sword, it is very tempting to use this offensive defense capability."
A Revived Alliance?
Fears of further Russian incursions have prompted alliance leaders to reassess NATO's defenses in Europe, particularly in the East. "This is a wake-up call for the Euro-Atlantic community, for NATO, and for all those committed to a Europe whole, free and at peace," said Secretary-General Rasmussen in March 2014.
Gen. Breedlove, NATO's top military commander, said in May that the alliance needs to prepare for a future in which Moscow can no longer be viewed as a partner. He urged a strategic reevaluation of the NATO Response Force, the alliance's rapid deployment force, and said that permanently positioning troops in eastern Europe should not be ruled out. While Poland has requested a permanent NATO presence on its territory, the Czech Republic opposes the basing of troops.
The United States has shored up NATO's air presence over Poland and the Baltic states, and other allies, including Britain, Germany, and Denmark, are looking to provide reinforcements as well. NATO will also increase outreach to Ukraine�an alliance partner since 1994�including promotion of defense reforms and capacity building. But as a non-member, Ukraine remains outside of NATO's defense perimeter, and there are clear limits on how far it can be brought into institutional structures.
The conflict in Ukraine rippled across the globe in July after Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 was shot down over rebel-held territory, killing all 298 passengers. NATO governments believe the commercial airliner was destroyed by a rocket fired by pro-Russian insurgents who thought they were targeting a Ukrainian warplane.
The Ukraine crisis will dominate discussion at the NATO summit in Wales in September, where military planners are expected to announce additional measures to strengthen the alliance's collective defenses. In July, a cross-party group of British officials warned that NATO was ill-prepared to counter the military threat from Russia, and questioned whether the alliance had the political will to deter an attack. Among other things, their report recommended that leaders address "the Alliance's vulnerabilities in the face of asymmetric (ambiguous warfare) attacks."
In the longer term, some defense analysts believe the alliance should consider advancing membership to Finland and Sweden, two Partnership for Peace countries with a history of avoiding military alignment. (Nordic peers Denmark, Iceland, and Norway are charter NATO members.)

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) has long been a key tool for self-service and to allow the free flow of common information between a company and its customers. With the arrival of the Apple (News - Alert) Siri, IVR took on a whole new persona, changing the way we interact with technology and bringing artificial intelligence closer to the masses.
This recent Angel blog focused on the impact Siri will have in IVR and how it will likely change the way consumers view interactions based on speech technology. IVRs are still the most prevalent speech technologies and users will increasingly demand experiences that are more natural and intuitive. Those IVR vendors hoping to lead the industry will be able to readily respond to this demand.
The first step to identifying the path to success may be in understanding Siri's key to success. The Angel blog asked a few questions to provide some clarification on why Apple has hit the jackpot once again. The first point is whether or not Siri offers a natural language interface. The basic answer is "yes," while the practical answer is "no." Siri can coax the user to ask the appropriate questions to provide the necessary answers, but the call center customer placing a call is rarely that specific.
Siri also offers some deep ties into the user's personal data, which is key to its success. This is a quality feature any company would want, especially when handling large call volumes from a wide array of customers. Companies have a lot of data on their customers and the ability to access this information on the fly is key for any robust IVR to be successful.
Of course, the Siri is the star on the iPhone (News - Alert) 4S, not within the call center. This jump in IVR, however, will push the demand in the general industry to start making use of available caller data to create interfaces that are both practical and intuitive to ensure the IVR can make educated guesses on the caller's reason for contacting the company and how best to handle his or her requests.
The first necessary step is to link the IVR with CRM and customer profiles, moving on to building dynamic systems with the ability to respond personally to different callers and situations in a manner that is both effective and efficient.
The key here is that a robust IVR should be able to utilize multiple technologies to create optimal interactions, even when customers are frustrated with the company. If the industry can respond effectively to the new list of demands regarding voice user interfaces, IVR will take on a whole new role within the call center and deliver improved value to the company and its customers.

(Madison, WI) The River Alliance of Wisconsin is launching "Twelve Days of Bidding" on Monday November 26 with its annual online auction. The nonprofit is taking advantage of the online holiday shopping tradition to raise money for keeping Wisconsin's rivers and watersheds clean, healthy and fun for everyone to enjoy.
Exciting news (at least to yours truly) that in connection with the Wisconsin Books Festival, a new play about the St. Croix River and Gaylord Nelson, who saved it and preserved it as a wild and scenic river, will be performed in Madison. It was written for the Festival Theater in St. Croix Falls, and members of that company will perform it.
Details: Happy and the River, Sunday, October 3, 4-5:30 The Playhouse, Overture Center for the Arts
This performance is made possible by the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. Supported by the Wisconsin Arts Board, the Wisconsin Humanities Council,and the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Co.
Happy and the River tells the story of Gaylord Nelson and the events and environment that inspired him.
Two environmental organizations - - Friends of Milwaukee's Rivers and Midwest Environmental Advocates (a public interest law firm) - - are trying to use the US Clean Water Act to stop something pretty unbelievable:
A Milwaukee business is routinely dumping toxins, including cancer-causing chemicals, into the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District system - - but the MMSD's treatment methods cannot get the poisons out.
Which means they flow into Lake Michigan, where any number of cities get their drinking water, and from which people eat fish.
Details here.

First - Congratulations on making a great product!
The product works in a every aspect advertised, so it gets 5 star ratings all the way through....well almost.
The only area of improvement would be the alignment with buttons on the phone, and the ease with which the case actually fits around the iphone.
As it stands, my phone is properly inserted, but sometimes when I press on the volume up button, the volume down button feels the press, and wins the competition. I then have to readjust the way I am pressing to make sure that the volume down button does not get activated.

The tour will feature an American cast. It is directed by Michael Mayer and features Green Day songs including Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Wake Me Up When September Ends and American Idiot.
Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong said: "We're excited to be bringing the US stage production of American Idiot to the UK and Ireland. We played to some of the most insane crowds when we toured the album there, and we can't wait for our friends across the pond to see the musical."
American Idiot premiered at Berkeley Repertory Theatre in 2009 and opened on Broadway in 2010, where it ran for more than a year. The UK tour is produced by SJM Concerts and Flying Entertainment.
