Political Animal
QOTD, from Corey Robin:
I wish academics, journalists, intellectuals, and bloggers had a more concrete sense of what it's like to work in an actual workplace in America (not to mention elsewhere). Sometimes, it seems that scholars and writers, if they think about it at all, simply assume the typical workplace to be a seminar room, a newsroom, the cafe around the corner, or their office at home.
This quote introduces a fascinating piece Robin wrote in 2002 about the history of the bathroom break, which he posts in the link above. Did you know that, until 1998, American workers did not have the right to pee on the job, and that even now, there many workplaces where that right is not enforced? That sounds unbelievable, but it's true; and if you read Robin's piece you'll find out why that actually isn't all that surprising, given the heavy hand that feudalism, in the guise of the law, has had in shaping the modern American workplace. As Robin points out, the great achievement of the American labor movement is the extent to which it was able to overthrow the old feudal regime. Like Robin, though, I fear that these gains are in the process of being reversed, especially when I read about how many states are passing or considering various "right to work" bills and other anti-labor legislation. And the unabashedly feudal mentality that underlies shocking incidents like this one is enough to curl your hair.
ok asshole. I am an academic. At times, I work on drill rigs, pulling 20 hr shifts; I work in gold mines, breathing diesel exhaust in 100 + degree temps; some of my colleagues ride ships for weeks on end, puking their guts out. Last hear I and my students spent several nights on a drill rig in a blizzard. On an easy day, I drive 4-5 hrs, work with students fo 10, drive another 2-3, then meet with more, and then get back a day or two later to teach.
Our students work in all sorts of industries, agencies, etc., so Mr., or Ms. Robin, can have a nice, comfy, warm house, affordable gasoline, and electricity.
Oh, by the way. I have not had a pay raise in 5 years. My insurance premiums go up evey year, and I am god damn happy just to have a job.
So, mr., or ms Robin, don't give me anymore of this bullshit about how we academics have is so easy, or don't know what the real world is like.
The lack of empathy is widespread in American culture.
Much of the push for raising the retirement age comes from these same "academics, journalists, intellectuals, and bloggers." I doubt if you'd get the same viewpoint if you asked machinists, waitresses, truck drivers, and janitorial workers.
And I'm not certain what kind of academic "bigtuna" is, but I'm betting it's not a professor of English.
Big Tuna, perhaps you should get more sleep? AND work on your reading comprehension. I quote: "Sometimes it seems...".
That is NOT a blanket assumption about ALL writers, scholars, pundits, bloggers or academicians. It IS a remark about what the writers has encountered while reading about work conditions as written by SOME (that "sometimes") writers, scholars, pundits, bloggers or academicians. James E. Powell's remark about lack of empathy is, unfortunately, too accurate.
And it isn't limited to writers, scholars, pundits, bloogers or academicians, either... -
I would be careful not to draw to many conclusions about workplace conditions from the behavior of one drunken, bigoted Darien Aryan.
This story reminds me that in 2008 a cab driver named Mazhar Nazir was shot to death in Tysons Corner, Virginia by an apparently drunk Penn State Grad and former Lockheed systems engineer who didn't have $75 for his cab bill. Yet I have witnessed Lockheed employees using the bathroom without interference from their bosses.
Our weekend guest blogger makes a good point: unions can bring a measure of equity to our work environments and the "opinionators" are generally not well informed in how one lives the daily struggle, even if , like David Brooks, they pull down big salaries from the New York Times, and pretend to know what the average person wants and thinks, or should want and think.
An example of cluelessness:twenty- thirty years ago I and a small group of part time and full time instructors began the long task of reforming our union of academics by forming an opposition party and contacting the people who worked there. Do you know that our insurance coverage paid for "Weight Watchers" memberships for all full timers but not birth control prescription for eligible women? The entrenched leadership , all male, response was that "birth control is a lifestyle issue." of course, we reformers understood it as essential for women in the workforce.
"So, mr., or ms Robin, don't give me anymore of this bullshit about how we academics have is so easy, or don't know what the real world is like."
i guess you missed the "he" in the first sentence after the quote.
I think it's in Modern Times in which Chaplin is seen grabbing a smoke in the company bathroom, when the Boss suddenly appears glaring down from a screen and barks, "Hey you! Get back to work!".
On an unrelated note, don't normally watch Meet the Press as I strongly dislike host, but tomorrow he has as guests Gov.Martin. O'Malley of Maryland and Gov. Bob Mc Donnell from Virginia. Recently, they shared a forum where O'Malley ripped McDonnelll to shreds, caught him off guard, could be interesting though McDonnell will be more prepared. No doubt Gregory hoping for fireworks. If I''m not mistaken, McDonnell is the head of the Republican Gov. Group and I know Gov. O'Malley heads the Democratic group, could be interesting.
Yes, I've worked a job without bathroom breaks. It makes you wonder what the boss was thinking, honestly. Work doesn't get done better while one needs to pee. Sure, we can try to schedule peeing... But it doesn't always work. What's worse is jobs that don't seem to schedule breathing or stretching, either.
I've also had jobs that required me to arrive 15 minutes early, but not clock in until the hour struck. That should just blatantly be illegal.
But apparently it's more reasonable for the legislature to have to argue about these sorts of things instead of a judge just saying, 'this is not reasonable'. What's a reasonable person to do?
I've worked as many different types of jobs as anyone I know. From part time jobs at a real sawmill, a full time job at a saw mill, working construction, residential, industrial, federal government, U.S.D.A. Forest Service, state government, county government, city government, Texas school districts, a business or two I have owned and some I have operated. I retired a member of T.A.F.T. (Texas American Federation of Teachers). I joined it, an affiliate of the A.F.L.-C.I.O. as well as the musicians union, also affiliated because of working conditions and to have someone to advocate for my rights as a worker. We can not let huge corporations take away the rights we have advocated for for my entire lifetime. Republicans want to disassemble and repeal "The Affordable Healthcare Act." We can not let that happen. Http://kennethdfranks.blogspot.com/ Red Dirt & Sand
I totally sympathize with the sentiments of the post, but on the point about feudalism, I'm afraid you've got the case a bit historically backwards. If you read Seymour Martin Lipset or, earlier, Tocqueville, on the Europe-US contrast, you'll see that the US's lack of feudalism has left us without the sense of noblesse oblige on the part of the elite that humanized the originally much more inegalitarian European societies. Tocqueville writes that, if the U.S. ever becomes more unequal than Europe, its elite will be spectacularly cruel and self-righteous, unredeemed by any feudal sense of responsibility to the lower orders. And he was prescient. It's the price we pay for our thoroughly Liberal (19th century meaning) ideological heritage.
Kathryn , thanx for the heads up , We need O'Malley and other dem govs. up front and center on the airwaves exposing what state GOP are up to , all the way to nov.
How about our corporate out of touch media filling the air waves with praise about billionaire americans , who have made mega millions by manufacturing their products in over seas slave states...They all get a pass , are told how brilliant they are over and over again , and any negative piece about who they really employ will never see the light of day on any major network , they have been rewarding these people so long now , no one even questions it...
Then they show case all the CHARITY WORK they supposedly do , I do not bother watching it any more , it is all so out of touch , and outrageous
I had planned to explain to bigtuna that he is what is known in academic circles as an outlier hoping he would understand the term, but others have done an effective job of shutting him off. Good on them.
I've worked a number of manual labor type jobs, but all of them have been either agriculture or piece work so I have been able to schedule my own breaks for when I need them with no boss looking over my shoulder. I can't imagine what life must be like for some guy in the line at a slaughterhouse whose boss is an asshat. If there were ever a need for unions, it's to remedy abuses like that, and I doubt that pitstops are the only abuse that is going on. Being forced to work off clock at WalMart comes to mind.
The point that bmoodle makes about the lack of noblesse oblige in the US seems to me to be right on the button. There are some people who still practice it, George Romney comes to mind, but the vast majority of the 1% are the exact opposite, Mitt Romney and the banking industry come to mind.
don't give me anymore of this bullshit about how we academics have is so easy,
I'm an academic, and I have it pretty easy. The worst part of my year is about whether my reviews will be any good and how I'm going get funding.
No one ever told me I couldn't go to the bathroom. So, yeah, while I'm pretty stressed, it's pretty easy compared to working in a warehouse.
The worst part of my day in a southern regional dept. store in a military town in a "right-to-work" state is in the breakroom while my otherwise likeable and hard-working co-workers try to explain to me why they vote republican. It's torture.
Wow, Dr. bigtuna - are you a geologist, or what?
Academic really covers a lot of ground. I think those this post is referring to are of the 'white paper' set, both in traditional academia and NGO-think tank-lobby shop-corporate variety. I spent a decade in that world, now I've moved to retail (management, but still) the biggest change? The loss of contact with the white collar world through those media we all take for granted, email, chats, fb, etc. because I'm not at a computer for eight hours a day, I miss all those communications, banal as they may be. It's taken a while for my friends to remember that, and to reach out to me other ways. It's a minor thing, but a symptom of the divide, anyway.

Review: Samsung watch blends style, tech wizardry
Sunday, September 15, 2013
SUWON, South Korea — Samsung's Galaxy Gear, a new computing device worn like a wristwatch, is certain to pique much curiosity when it starts being seen in public. The intensely black rectangular screen and orange strap on the wrist of a Samsung executive immediately caught my eye as she entered a corporate meeting room to give a preview of the gadget. |

British champion brings Muay Thai to South Quay
A high-intensity concoction of kicks and clinching, the ancient practice of Muay Thai warfare was traditionally a method of defending a community.
Dubbed "the art of eight weapons" it involves plentiful use of the fists, elbows, knees, shins and feet, coupled with good physical preparation, to produce maximum results.
The martial art has recently exploded onto the Docklands sporting scene courtesy of a 29-year-old from east London.
Ruqsana Begum holds the title of British Muay Thai Champion and secured a bronze medal at the sport's world challenge in Russia last year.
Ruqsana, who also holds a degree in architecture and wants to teach others the practice, said: "It's such a good way to get fit and healthy and learn about yourself.
"It applies in your day-to-day life. It's dedication, it's hard work, and shows that if Plan A doesn't work, you go to Plan B.
"It's challenging yourself to be the best you can be. It doesn't have to be about jumping straight into the ring, although you can do that."
Her own successes in the ring, sprung from a taster session at college. But she faced an uphill battle outside the ring as she strived to convince her Muslim family and friends the martial art was her career.
She said: "I don't see myself as the British champion. I am just a girl that trains hard.
"I look at most athletes that have achieved what I have and they started from age five and, perhaps, had someone in their family who did it.
"I had none of those benefits and I started from a minus in many ways. I match them and I am competing at a world class level without family support. I am being my own best friend.
"My coach is behind me and supporting me and now my family know what I have achieved. Before that it was all behind closed doors putting in the hard work. But I have a lot to be thankful for. Even when it has been hard, the year has always ended well.
"Last year, I got to carry the Olympic torch and that was very special. I also got presented to the Queen, which was such an honour."
Coached by Olympian Bill Judd, she will be holding a series of classes at the Ringside Gym, on South Quay.
Although in competitive terms, she said the sport was "one of the most dangerous martial arts", the Ilford resident said Wharfers could reap rewards.
Ruqsana is now juggling her training and classes with helping youngsters as a coach for charity Fight For Peace, based near London City Airport, and working part-time at Tower Hamlets' Swanlea School.
To book for one of her classes at Ringside call 07984 009 135 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Ruqsana Begum's passion to promote the wider benefits of sport led to her taking on a coaching role at Fight For Peace.
The organisation, with its London base at North Woolwich, was formed in 2000 by Luke Dowdney who witnessed the violence encountered by street children in Brazil.
Charged with finding an alternative to drug trafficking and violence for young people the world over, the former amateur boxer devised a system that combined boxing and martial arts with education and personal development.
Ruqsana said: "I got involved with the coaching team, doing workshops and personal development sessions.
"It's really good to see you can make such a difference to someone's life and take them from one extreme to another. Quite a few former members are personal trainers now.
"They have really turned their lives around. It takes them away from the negative in society and gives them something positive.
"They can apply their energies in sport and instead of losing it outside, they can lose it in the boxing ring."

Aseptic necrosis of the hip is the death of bone tissue in the head of the femur due to an inadequate blood supply.
The head of the femur in the hip joint is the most likely to suffer loss of blood supply.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Any event or condition that damages the arteries that feed the head of the femur raises the risk of aseptic necrosis. The most common events are fractures in the upper femur and dislocations of the hip, especially developmental dysplasia of the hip. Other causes reduce the blood supply by closing off or compressing the blood vessels.
There is a specific type of aseptic necrosis of the hip called Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease that affects the growth plate at the upper end of the femur in children. It most commonly affects boys aged 5-10 years old.
Factors that increase your chance of developing aseptic necrosis of the hip include:
The few symptoms of aseptic necrosis of the hip are nonspecific and may be caused by other, less serious health conditions. Symptoms include:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. If the diagnosis is suspected, you will be referred to an orthopedic surgeon.
Images may need to be taken of your internal structures, especially your bones. This can be done with:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
Taking nonsteroidal and other pain relievers and performing non-weight-bearing exercises may prevent or minimize disease progression.
The following medications may be prescribed to help prevent or treat aseptic necrosis of the hip:
There are several surgical procedures used to treat aseptic necrosis of the hip. The choice depends on the extent of disease and the age and health status of the patient. Bone grafts, decompression of the inside of the bone, realignment of the bone, femoral head resurfacing, and prosthetic hip replacement are all available.
To help reduce your chances of getting aseptic necrosis of the hip, take the following steps:

Well i think that the LoL community is the worst community i've ever encountered in any online game ever. By worst i mean just filled with the largest amount of qq'ers, scrubs, trolls, baddies, etc. I think it needs substantial improvement. Don't get me wrong i love the game i just dislike the community for the most part. Thoughts, comments? Post away.
Senior Member
LoL is horribad, but HoN and DoTA were worse. Lately the community has been getting worse and worse, I think perhaps because of those games losing popularity and adding to this community.
Ez0 Prush
I love this game, so before not playing I will just /ignore enemy before all my games. I have to agree though. I used to play Counterstrike and I thought that group of people was bad (due to the frequent mic chats). The LoL community is the worst I've ever seen, and some guys I play with agree. Maybe it's the age difference...idk, but it's pretty bad with trolls/griefers/qq'ers.

Does HoN still use the public ELO system? And by that what I mean is does eveyone still have a "normal" elo that they match up against people with? If so I could see how it would be much worse. Imagine if LoL still had that.
Never tried HoN i just can't believe the scrubs i get queued up with man. Even at 1350+ ELO, i lost a bunch in a row yesterday... Had 2 games with an AFK, had 1 game where i had 2 ranged ad, another where i had a "pro" taric who was 1/5, ashe who was 1/10 and trundle(i think) who was 2/8. Also, i've had at least 3 or 4 trolls in the last 10 games i've played. Makes me a sad panda. If HoN is worse then this, i cant even imagine why anyone would even attempt to play it. Effectively, this is how it goes when i solo queue. Me: Can anyone tank or jungle? Everyone else: ........ Random guy: I'm playing laning Udyr, im pro don't worry jaja xD /rage.
I've seen worse communities, so no.
DotA has one rager in every game. LoL has one rager every other game. At least that's how I see it in unranked normal games as a level 15 summoner.
It's just the number of players attracted to this game. To be more or less clean a community must also be small in number. As with this stream of people is absolutely no possibility to control them all. Thus yes, chaos, trolls and questions repeated here and then, that people are just tired to answer. Besides the fact that generations are also changing, and newcomers are flooding with same threads that were discussed and closed for several times already.
Dota community is far and away the worst. EVER.

Loan Modification
A loan modification changes the terms of your loan, allows it to be reinstated if you have fallen behind, gets you a payment you can afford, lowers your interest rate, and in some cases reduces your overall principal.
Rather than just process loan modification applications, which you can do on your own, we have developed a unique legal defense strategy, and will litigate against the servicer and/or investor if necessary when they are violating homeowner's rights, not adhering to guidelines, or have participated in predatory lending practices.
This is what sets us apart as a Massachusetts loan modification attorney.
Foreclosure Defense
Every foreclosure situation is different and deeply affects the lives of the individuals involved. We listen to your story and provide you with the legal backing to achieve the best possible end result. We're known for fighting against banks and winning.
Our strategy is to look at each case individually and find leverage we can use to help you avoid foreclosure even at the last hour. From the early stages of foreclosure, to the last-minute restraining order, to having unlawful foreclosures rescinded, we put our experience as a trust Massachusetts foreclosure attorney to work for people like you.
Mortgage Violations
The days of being able to trust that your mortgage or the servicing of your mortgage can be trusted have come to an end. Banks and servicers repeatedly violate laws and mishandle mortgages.
During the life of a mortgage many problems can surface whether it's from a faulty mortgage closing, errors in your mortgage documents or when they were recorded, or problems that arise during the servicing of your mortgage. Whether you are facing foreclosure or not, these issues should be addressed to prevent you from losing money, claims, or certain rights.
If you are facing foreclosure on your home, bankruptcy may be able to help. In many cases, filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy can delay the foreclosure by a number of months.
In other cases and often for a more long-term solutions, some people may be able to save their home by filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
If you've tried other options or have significant other debit, bankruptcy may be a good option for securing your home and finding more financial freedom.
See how we're doing.

This is definitely your papa's C++
A colleague of mine,he's old, not 100 old, actually he's closer to 50, but in IT, that's pretty old. And there's something I just don't understand, he loves C++.It's fairly common for people to have a pet programming language, which adapts to their particular desires and expectations of what a language should look like, this most often than not has more to do with their personality than actual technical prowess. A really practical guy like myself(or at least someone who thinks he is practical) loves PHP, Python and Ruby. Another colleague likes really ordered and structured things, he uses Java for most of his work. I even know a biker, boots, tattoos and all that uses smalltalk.
But this guy, when I ask him:"Papa(most of his ex-students call him that), why do you use C++?"
He just shrugs and says:"It's good,fast and gets the job done".
Now, C++ is a very powerful language, you have the world at your fingertips with it, memory management, 3D graphics, widgets, infinite libraries, fast, robust... Still many of my younger colleagues tend to avoid it, they avoid it with an almost pious observance, basking in its glory but afraid of touching it.
I know how to program in C++, I took some classes that only used C++, wanted to perform a lobotomy on myself with a paper clip and a gust of wind when I got mistakes from Visual C++ 6.0(In those dark times when I still used "That OS that can't be named"), switched to Bloodshed Dev C++, got scolded by one of my teachers for switching, she called me an "IDE whore".I even have copies of "Learn C++ through Game Programming" and "C++ How to program" from Deitel & Deitel, read them both.
Still, I always end up using other languages.
Maybe I'm just too plain old thick headed or took one too many tackles to my skull playing rugby.
I want your opinion, preferably if you earn a living as a Software Engineer, Programmer, Systems Administrator, Tech Guru or anything along these lines.
Should we call war on the old and pull the plug or embrace it like a good bodied, perfectly aged...cheese(smelly but delicious)?

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.

Geminid Meteor
Photograph by Wally Pacholka, TWAN
December 13, 2009--Like a silver spear cast from the heavens, the bright streak of a Geminid meteor pierces the night sky over California's Mojave Desert during the annual meteor shower's 2009 peak.
Geminids are slower than other shooting stars and are known to make beautiful long arcs across the sky. This could be because they're born of debris from a dormant comet and so are made mostly of hard, sun-baked rock that takes longer to burn up in Earth's atmosphere, experts suggest.

December 15, 2009--Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have created their version of a holiday wreath: a new picture of the young stellar cluster R136. The festive grouping sits in a turbulent star-birth region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite of our Milky Way galaxy.
In the image, garlands of red (hydrogen) and green (oxygen) gas surround icy blue "diamonds" that are actually some of the most massive stars known--several are more than a hundred times the mass of our sun.December 15, 2009
Iapetus's Twin Faces
Image courtesy NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute
December 10, 2009--That's no shadow over Saturn's moon Iapetus: The so-called leading hemisphere (left) is much darker than the opposite side, due to a combination of migrating ice and dark red dust, astronomers have found.
Possibly solving a 300-year-old mystery, two recent studies suggest a likely mechanism behind Iapetus' two-faced nature. To start, infalling dust from an external source--maybe another moon or Saturn's newest known ring--darkens the leading side of Iapetus, which therefore absorbs more sunlight and heats up enough to evaporate ice near the equator.
The evaporating ice recondenses on the colder, undusted poles and on the trailing hemisphere. Meanwhile, loss of ice on the leading hemisphere makes the surface even darker, triggering a feedback loop that keeps Iapetus' extreme contrasts in place.December 15, 2009
The Flame Nebula

December 11, 2009--A crisp new picture of the Flame Nebula is among the first to be released from the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA), which started operations this week.
Based at the European Southern Observatory's site on Cerro Paranal in Chile, VISTA is now the world's largest telescope dedicated to mapping the sky.
The telescope's three-ton camera sees in infrared light. This allows VISTA to penetrate otherwise opaque clouds of dust to capture stars being born and to see objects both too distant and too cold for their visible light to reach Earth.December 15, 2009
Protoplanetary Disks

December 14, 2009--Each dusty blob featured in this newly released mosaic represents a never before seen protoplanetary disk--a circle of planet-forming dust around a newborn star--in the Orion Nebula.
Orion is the closest star-forming region visible to the naked eye, due to the fact that its stars are massive enough to heat up--and light up--their surrounding gas. The 30 disks seen above are among 42 spotted by the Hubble Space Telescope during a multiyear survey of the well-known nebula.December 15, 2009

Bengaluru: The arrest of three suspects including Kichan Buhari, a prominent member of the All India Jehad Committee (AIJC) and a close associate of its founder – Ahmad Ali alias Palani Baba, People's Democratic Party Chairman, Abdul Nasser Madani, and Kunnangudi Hanifa of Tamil Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam (TMMK) has the intelligence community on the edge as it marks a watershed in the war against terror in India.
Not only does it signal the resurgence of homegrown terror groups in the southern peninsula it also marks the return to centre-stage of Al Ummah, long thought to be defunct after it was banned in 1998.
The three suspects were detained in Chennai on Monday alongside two other suspects – Peer Mohiyuddin from Bengaluru and Basheer from Tamil Nadu. Al Ummah was founded by timber merchant Syed Ahmed Basha in TN in 1993 in answer to the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition.
Al Ummah was banned for its involvement in the Coimbatore blasts in which 59 people lost their lives and many were injured.
The BJP leader L.K. Advani, the main target behind the Coimbatore blasts escaped the attack because his aircraft landed much later than scheduled.
Last week's blast was reportedly aimed at the BJP office in Malleswaram to avenge the alleged wrongful arrest of Madani in the 2008 serial blast case and other Muslim youth in similar terror cases. Buhari, who was convicted in terror cases and subsequently released had reportedly, planned the 17/4 blast, said an official source, who indicated they were looking for more suspects.
"The suspects are jehadis and are members of different terror groups. After its ban, the Al Ummah joined various groups and last week's attack was its signature attack," top police sources said.
Buhari's other associates
- Palani Baba was allegedly killed by Kerala-based RSS activists on January 28, 1997, at Pollachi near Coimbatore.
- Madani was arrested in 2011 for his alleged involvement in the 2008 blasts.
- Hanifa was arrested in 1998 for his alleged involvement in the Trichy blast case and released after 14 years.
TN men supplied logistics
The police arrested in Madurai the third Al Umma man, Kichan Buhari, a native of Tirunelveli, wanted in connection with the Bengaluru blast, on Tuesday morning and investigators here indicated that the supporters of the banned outfit had been providing logistics support to execute the blast.
So far, the state police, with the help of probe teams from Karnataka, had arrested three persons conspiring the blast near the BJP office in Bengaluru on April 17.
The police had already arrested Basheer, office boy working in a real estate agency in Tirunelveli, and Peer Moideen, a tea dust seller in Bengaluru, on Monday and handed them over to the Karnataka police. All the three are natives of Melapalayam, in Tirunelveli.
The three had reportedly procured the bike on which the bomb was planted, besides a discarded SIM card, which was used during the execution of the blast, the police said here.
Yes, there are still some missing links. We could not locate Anwar Basha and Raja who were listed as the Vellore-based buyers of the bike involved in the blast. As far as we know, the conspirators had taken the bike and the SIM card from Coimbatore to Bengaluru just two days before the blast, the police informed.
Because of the TN registration number of the bike, the Karnataka police decided to look for a Tamil Nadu mobile number near the blast site at the time of blast and found over 300 cell phone numbers in the area at the particular time. By filtering the numbers, the police found that Peer had used the mobile phone of the person staying in the next room on the day of the blast. Carrying the mobile phone of that person, Peer had gone near the blast site and it helped the police to narrow down the culprits.

Medflight pilot Mark Holmes says his boss retaliated against him after he sent county officials a December 2007 email to report safety violations, maintenance issues, gross mismanagement and racial bigotry at Collier County Emergency Medical Services.
The 52-year-old paramedic maintains he was fired after a bogus charge of flying low over the Great Dock Canoe Races in May 2008, a charge the FAA cleared him of. He appealed and won - but only after he sued the Collier County Commission.
Still, he wasn't returned to flight status because he was in "limbo" awaiting a required flight-safety training course county officials hadn't formulated.
"Mr. Holmes was relegated to warehouse duty and cleaning toilets and he was forced to take a psychiatric exam and nothing was found to be wrong with Mr. Holmes," Holmes' attorney, Sam Gold of Naples, told a federal jury Tuesday. "Mr. Holmes paid a price for blowing the whistle."
Holmes still didn't return to flying until October 2009, Gold said, because county officials delayed providing training they required.
County officials, however, say his boss, EMS Chief Jeff Page, doesn't even remember the email reporting Holmes' internal "gripes," which were investigated and deemed unfounded. They say there was no whistleblowing or retaliation, and Holmes was fired for the unsafe-flying incident and lying about it.
"This is an important day for Collier County," the county's attorney, Mark E. Levitt of Winter Park, told jurors as Page sat in uniform at the defense table. "This is the day Collier County can clear its name."
"Their claim to adverse action is it took too long to make him a pilot again," Levitt added, noting Holmes caused part of the delay.
Those were the two sides presented to jurors Tuesday as a trial involving Holmes' whistleblowing lawsuit began before U.S. District Court Judge Charlene Honeywell in Fort Myers. It's expected to last three or four days.
Jurors will be asked to determine if Holmes, who took two months off after his reinstatement, was protected under the Family Medical Leave Act; if he suffered adverse employment action, such as retaliation; and if there's a connection between the protected activity and the adverse action.
If so, jurors will be asked to award damages for lost wages, which Gold placed at $17,162.96, in addition to at least $55,000 yearly he lost since September 2008 for a secondary pool services job he lost.
Holmes' May 2009 lawsuit, originally filed in Collier Circuit Court and amended twice, sought reinstatement to his job of 10 years.
The lawsuit contends county officials failed to adhere to an August 2008 directive by then-Deputy County Manager Leo Ochs, who ordered him returned to his job in six months, with a condition he complete a flight-safety course and psychiatric testing. The lawsuit alleges the mandates caused unreasonable delays.
In July 2007, Holmes contested his firing for flying a helicopter too low over the Great Dock Canoe Race and creating a public safety hazard. Ochs reinstated him, but suspended him for four weeks.
The lawsuit calls the psychiatric exam a "farce" to delay reinstatement and contends word of the exam was leaked to harass Holmes and thwart Ochs' ruling.
County officials also fabricated allegations that a staff member refused to fly with him, the lawsuit says, and he was suspended without pay for a day for protesting that.
The lawsuit alleges county officials deprived him of his constitutional right to due process, violated the Florida Whistleblower Act and the federal Family Medical Leave Act.
"The evidence will show that Mr. Page ... had a near obsession in attempting to destroy Mark Holmes' career," a pretrial statement says.
Through three witnesses, Gold showed Page asked three employees in December 2008 to write a summary about what they observed May 10, 2008, but none mentioned Holmes flew dangerously low over the Gordon River.
Paramedic John Yates, who worked with Holmes for 10 years, said he was on the boat with Page when Holmes flew 1½ to two passes over the races in a banked turn, prompting people to exclaim and look up.
Paramedic Joe Cook, also on that boat, saw the helicopter turn sharply and circle twice. Cook, who has flight training, didn't consider it dangerous.
Lt. Scott Wernert, a paramedic, testified he'd asked Holmes if he could take photos of the races as they flew to North Collier Hospital to pick up a pregnant woman to fly to another hospital, but they didn't lose time or deviate much from the flight pattern.
On cross-examination, he admitted it could have delayed their arrival 10 to 30 seconds and he apologized to county officials, saying it was "inexcusable and would not happen again."

Smoke Testing Smoke testing is a useful tool in the detection of sources of infiltration where ground water and storm runoff can enter the sanitary sewer system. After a section of the sewer system has been isolated, non-toxic smoke is forced into the pipe at the manhole using blowers. The forced smoke will escape through any openings in the pipe and appear on the surface. These locations are documented and photographed for evaluation. This procedure is most effective when performed during dry weather conditions. |

It appears some people are still waiting a long time to get food assistance benefits in Pueblo County. In November 2010, News First 5 talked to several people who waited a month or longer to receive benefits. Six months have passed by and News First 5 wanted to know if the situation has improved?
We've heard from a single mother in Pueblo who says she just got her benefits a couple of days ago, after waiting for nearly a month. We're going to talk with the administrator of the Family Service Center in Pueblo to find out if there's still a backlog of applications. More to come.
To learn how to apply for Food Assistance Benefits visit the Colorado Department of Human Services website.

With this post, we continue our biweekly series on medications used to treat bipolar disorder and related symptoms. Over the past couple weeks, we covered three commonly used atypical antipsychotics – Zyprexa (olanzapine), Risperdal (risperidone), and Seroquel (quetiapine). Because the Zyprexa post contains a great deal of information that applies to the atypical antipsychotics as a group, we encourage you to read it first.
Like Zyprexa and the other atypical antipsychotics, Geodon (ziprasidone) was developed primarily to treat schizophrenia and psychosis but is approved to treat acute bipolar mania. It does not have FDA approval for maintenance treatment or treatment of bipolar depressive episodes at this time. Geodon can improve symptoms of schizophrenia and psychotic breaks that may occur in bipolar, including the following:
It may also improve conditions such as social isolation, limited motivation, and reduced speech activity for some people.
Geodon can also improve symptoms related specifically to mania, including the following:
Geodon is well established as a treatment to reduce manic episodes but, there is less data regarding its ability to reduce the frequency of cycling in bipolar disorder. Most bipolar specialists believe that it will ultimately be shown that Geodon, like all the other medications in this category, does a reasonable job as a maintenance medication in bipolar disorder. It is also unclear whether Geodon has specific antidepressant qualities, such as those found in Seroquel (quetiapine).
Geodon is unique among this class of medications because it does not have the same risks of weight gain or changes in glucose and lipid metabolism that accompany all of the other medications in this class. When it was released initially by the manufacturer, there was a lot of concern about a potential effect on cardiac rhythms. Most of the drugs in this class carry some similar risks, but it was thought that Geodon might have a higher risk than the others. However, after a number of years in clinical use, this has not turned out to be the case. A doctor will typically order an EKG (heart rhythm test) before prescribing Geodon, because of these concerns.
Most patients take Geodon two times each day. For bipolar disorder, your prescriber is likely to start you on a low dose, such as 20 mg twice a day, and then increase your dose by every few days or weeks to maximum doses of 80 or 100 mg twice a day. (If you have low blood pressure, poor liver function, or are elderly or in a weakened condition, your prescriber may ramp up the dose even more slowly.) The maximum dose listed by the manufacturer is 80 mg twice per day, but prescribers may use more sometimes depending on the clinical situation. As always, follow your prescriber's advice and instructions.
In my practice, Geodon is often a second or third choice medication if there has been poor response to other atypicals – or if weight gain or glucose or lipid problems are significant. If a patient is at high risk of diabetes or already has diabetes or poor lipid profiles (high cholesterol, for example) Geodon might be a first choice. There are few studies with Geodon in children and teens, so I use it less frequently in those populations. Many people find Geodon to be a well tolerated medication, without the weight gain problems, although it can be pretty sedating, especially at first.
Geodon is generally not used in individuals with pre-existing cardiac rhythm abnormalities or significant heart disease. There are also a number of other medications, including over-the-counter (OTC) and some natural or herbal products that can cause similar changes in the heart's electrical circuits, so the doctor must carefully review all of a patient's other medications and over-the-counter products before prescribing Geodon. The prescriber should also be clear with a patient on Geodon that they must let her know before starting any new medications or over-the-counter products.
Like other atypical antipsychotics, Geodon has the potential of producing negative side effects, including the following:
Unlike most other atypical antipsychotics, Geodon does not increase levels of the reproductive hormone Prolactin. Many other atypical agents do increase this hormone, which can affect menstrual cycles.
For more about Geodon, visit Pfizer's Geodon page.
If you've taken any form of Geodon for bipolar disorder or are a doctor who has prescribed it, please share your experiences, insights, and observations.

[Windows] Enjoy customization, auto note hiding, and document attachment with sticky notes program X Sticky Notes Lite
Posted By Justin On February 10, 2013 @ 10:02 PM In Windows | 3 Comments
[1]I usually have a lot going on at any given time when I'm on the computer, and it's easy to forget things that I need to do sometimes. That's why I tend to use "sticky note" programs, to help me remember important things I need to do. I have tried a few, but have never gotten around to trying X Sticky Notes Lite. I have heard good things about it, so let's check it!
Main Functionality
X Sticky Notes Lite is a program that allows you to post a number of sticky notes to your desktop. However, unlike some other sticky note programs, these notes can auto hide themselves when dragged to the edge of your screen. You also have full customization over your text and can attach documents to your notes.
[2]I love a good sticky note program. After hearing some good things about X Sticky Notes Lite, I was excited to try it. However, I did not really see how it could improve on other note programs I was already using, but I was willing to give it a chance.
One of the big features of X Sticky Notes Lite is the auto hide feature. In fact, this is the feature they first tell you about after you download and install the program. The way the feature works is simple. You create a note, drag it to the edge of your screen, take your mouse off the note, and it auto hides itself. When you want to see your note again, move your mouse over to that section of the screen and the note will pop back up. You won't forget that your note is hiding because a small piece of the note will be sticking out from the side of the screen.
Although I loved the auto hide feature, the program was going to need more than that to win me over. From here, I started messing around with the customization options. Apparently you can customize the appearance of your notes by either changing their color or adding a picture to them. This was a neat option. After all, if I am going to have these notes on my desktop, they might as well look good. The program also gives you a lot of customization over your text by allowing you to change the color, font, size and alignment. Also, just like other sticky note programs I have used, this one lets me password protect my sensitive notes as well.
Apparently there are three versions of this program. There is the 40-day-trail, Lite and Full version. As you can guess, the Lite version is the one that we reviewed today, because it is free. It also has no time limit and no ads. However, there are some functions only available in the Full version. For example, the full version allows you to attach programs, documents and images to your notes. You can also associate your notes with any document on your computer. The Full version gives you access to more customization options as well, like the ability to use images as your background. The cost of all of this is $19.99.
For the most part, the Lite version of X Sticky Notes is worth using if you are looking for a new sticky note program. The auto hide feature is nice, and it gives you a lot of text customization options. It would have been nice to see more of features in the Lite version (like the ones that came with the Full version), but overall there is still enough here to justify a download.
Price: Free / Full version available for $19.99
Version reviewed: 2.2.1
Supported OS: Windows XP/2003/Vista/Server 2008/7
Download size: 930 KB
VirusTotal malware scan results: 4/46 [3]
Is it portable? No
Note: Before you download this program, please realize Kaspersky, TrendMicro, Comodo, and CAT-QuickHeal are detecting this as a Trojan (see VirusTotal link above). Because the detections are 4/46, we feel this is most likely a false positive but proceed further at your own risk. Only download this program if you are comfortable with this situation. dotTech and its writers are not responsible for any gain or harm incurred.

Perth, Western Australia - 6th to 10th January 2014
Project: | pyUblox |
Getting a really accurate position from an affordable GPS is surprisingly difficult, especially if the GPS is moving rapidly in a UAV, and is flying in Australia where there is no SBAS (satellite based augmentation system) to provide GPS corrections. Errors on the order of 20m are common which can greatly reduce the utility of GPS for many applications.
The usual solution to this problem is to use a differential GPS ground station, but DGPS systems are very expensive, and thus out of reach of most hobbyists.
In this talk Ben Nizette and Andrew Tridgell will present an attempt to build a free software DGPS system written in Python, using affordable GPS devices and the MAVLink communications protocol to allow for fast real-time improvements in the accuracy of GPS positioning for moving vehicles from a Linux based ground station. The system aims to be practical with low computing resources in the moving vehicle, allowing it to interface with widely used hobbyist level autopilots.
Andrew Tridgell is a long time free software developer, who has recently developed a passion for building UAV autopilots for search & rescue, environmental and related civilian applications.
Ben Nizette is a PhD student at the Australian National University who is working on accurate positioning systems, and is collaborating with Andrew Tridgell on building the DGPS solution.
Ben Nizette is a PhD candidate at the Australian National University developing multi-agent robotic systems. He also lectures in Embedded Systems and has several years experience developing the hardware systems right at the boundary of hardware and software.

MEDFORD, Ore. – After facing protests, and even a lawsuit, an agreement has been reached for the Cherry Creek housing development.
The Jackson County Housing Authority says, they collaborated with the city of Medford and concerned neighbors over the last few months in a decision to reduce the size of the complex from one hundred units to fifty.
The housing authority will transfer 2-and-a-half acres of the site to the city, so they can expand Donahue-Frohnmayer Park along with 150,000 for public improvements.
In exchange, the Medford Urban Renewal Agency will give a piece of downtown to the housing authority.

Gastrointestinal perforation is a hole that develops through the wall of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large bowel, rectum, or gallbladder. This condition is a medical emergency.
Intestinal perforation; Perforation of the intestines
Gastrointestinal perforation can be caused by a variety of illnesses. These include:
It may also be caused by abdominal surgery.
Perforation of the intestine causes the contents of the intestines to leak into the abdominal cavity. This causes a serious infection called peritonitis .
Symptoms may include:
X-rays of the chest or abdomen may show air in the abdominal cavity. This is called free air. It is a sign of a tear.
A CT scan of the abdomen often shows where the hole is located. The white blood cell count is often higher than normal.
Treatment most often involves surgery to repair the hole. Sometimes, a small part of the intestine must be removed. A temporary colostomy or ileostomy (to drain the small or large intestine) may be needed.
In rare cases, people can be treated antibiotics alone if the perforation has closed. This can be confirmed by a physical exam, blood tests, CT scan, and x-rays.
Surgery is successful most of the time. However, the outcome will depend on how severe the perforation is, and for how long it was present before treatment.
Even with surgery, infection is the most common complication of the condition. Infections can be either inside the abdomen (abdominal abscess or peritonitis), or throughout the whole body. Body-wide infection is called sepsis . It can be very serious and can lead to death.
Call your health care provider if you have:
People will often have a few days of pain before the intestinal perforation occurs. If you have pain in the abdomen, see your health care provider right away. Treatment is much simpler and safer when it is started before the perforation occurs.
