The chmod Command
Do you know how to rename a file you can't read? Better yet, do you know how other users can rename your files? Have you ever ftp'd a program from another host and been unable to run it?
The subject of file permissions, and how to manipulate them with the chmod command, is a good place to start learning about these situations.
First, let's create a file and examine its long listing. (In order to fit in the magazine, all the listings in this article are trimmed to fit.)
$ touch test_file $ ls -l test_file -rw-rw-r-- 1 eric users
Since I created this file, it makes sense that the third column shows my user name as the file's owner and that the fourth shows my group. (On some systems, the group name may be the same as the user name.) As you follow along in these examples, you will see your username in place of "eric".
The leftmost column of the directory listing shows the file's mode. Mode is the term used to refer to a file's permissions. ls displays the file's type and mode together as a grouping of ten one-character fields:
The type field has several valid values. For the sake of this tutorial, we are only concerned with two: empty (-) for a regular file, and d for directories.
The other three columns cover the three classes of access that are stored for each file in a Unix-like file system. Linux (and Unix) evaluates access in terms of user ownership, group ownership and world (or other).
For each of these classes, rights are evaluated in terms of three operations: reading (r), writing (w) and executing (x). The permissions above specify "full" access for the owner, reading and writing for group, and only reading for world (an unusual combination used for demonstration). Those permissions specify that
The owner of the file is allowed to read, write and execute the file.
Any user who is a member of the group that owns the file is permitted to write to the file.
Any other user can only read the file.
If test_file were a very important document that we did not want anyone to be able to modify or delete, we would need to remove write access from group:
$ chmod g-w test_file $ ls -l test_file -rw-r--r-- 1 eric users
We see that the w for group is now replaced with a -, signifying that write permission is denied to members of the group users.
If test_file contained sensitive information that only members of the group users should be able to review:
$ chmod o-r test_file $ ls -l test_file -rw-r----- 1 eric users
Now we see that the last triplet of the mode field, which specifies permissions for world, are all dashes. This means that other users who do not belong to the users group have no permissions to do anything with test_file whatsoever.
The command line usage for chmod mode looks like this:
chmod [options] new-mode filename
The new mode is specified in octal mode or symbolic mode. We'll cover symbolic mode first. In the first example we used g-w to remove write permission for group. As you might be able to guess, g stood for group, - for remove and w represented write permission.
$ chmod g+wx test_file $ ls -l test_file -rw-rwx--- 1 eric users
This operation added permission for group to write and execute.
Let's look at an example of these permissions in action.
$ chmod u-rwx test_file $ ls -l test_file ----rwx--- 1 eric users $ cat test_file cat: test_file: Permission denied $ cat .profile > test_file bash: test_file: Permission denied
We are not able to display the file's contents because we do not have read access to our own file. When we specified u-rwx to chmod, we removed all access for the user (the file's owner). We were also denied permission when we attempted to add the contents of another file to it since we removed write access. (I should note that rm would still be able to delete this file, although it will normally request confirmation.)
$ chmod u+rwx test_file $ ls -l test_file -rwxrwx--- 1 eric users
When we specify u+rwx, all permissions are restored. Removing permissions from a file we own does not affect our ability to restore the permissions, because the mode is not stored in the file. It is stored in a structure called an inode entry. Only the owner of the file (and root) may modify this.
Re: Take Command: The chmod Command
is it possible to explain the meanings and values of those chmod numbers. e.g chmod 750
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

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

Date Posted:04/17/2007, 11:00AM
BRUNSWICK, Maine - The Bowdoin College Athletic Department has announced the resignation of Marty Hall as the Head Coach of the Nordic Skiing Program. Hall, a former coach of both the Canadian and American national teams, had been at Bowdoin since 2000. An immediate search for his replacement in underway.
"It was a pleasure to have Marty with us over the past eight years," according to Director of Athletics Jeff Ward. "His enthusiasm for his student-athletes was unparalleled and his experience in the sport invaluable. The growth of the program has been remarkable, and we will look to build upon his success as the program moves forward."
This past season was the most successful in recent memory for the Nordic team, as the squad posted several best-ever finishes both individually and as a team on the Division I New England Intercollegiate Skiing Association circuit. Hall's decision to resign was cited as a personal decision.
"I've had a blast," says Hall. "The decision wasn't easy because I was having a great time. But I'm getting up there in age and have some other things I'd love to pursue while I have the opportunity- including racing again. More than anything else, this job has restored my faith in young people. The kids at this school are extraordinary. They're excited to learn and are allowed to have such a great balance between athletics and academics. In eight years, I can't remember a single bad experience."
Hall, who resides in Ottawa with his wife, has just completed building a house and will return to Canada full-time. His immediate interests include returning to age-group racing. Recognized as one of the foremost authorities on Nordic Skiing worldwide, Hall welcomes all inquiries about the sport at his personal email address email@example.com.

Syracuse, NY--Show of hands. How many of you have washed yours today?
Washing your hands is not only good hygiene, it's good for business.
The American Medical Association has estimated the flu costs employers $1 billion a year in missed workdays and health care costs.
Every year about this time notes go up in the newspaper's bathrooms reminding us that the best way to keep from getting a cold or the flu is to wash your hands.
Click here to see a blog obsessed with handwashing signs.
You would think it would be automatic: flush, walk to the sink, wash your hands, dry them, go back to work. But statistics show that a surprising number of people fail to follow this simple method to keep from getting sick.
It appears as a culture we've forgotten how to wash our hands.
A couple of years ago my sister-in-law had a part-time job, funded by her county's health department, teaching elementary school children how to wash their hands.
Part of the training involved teaching them how long to wash by having them do it while singing a verse of "Old MacDonald." Now how many of you do that at the sink?
As a first grade teacher, my daughter made hand washing a priority in her classroom. And when a child failed to wash, the others tattled.
Some peer pressure might not be bad.
Teacher- daughter kept a bottle of hand sanitizer close by ready to offer a little spritz to children when they needed it.
So let's go to work with clean hands, and maybe we'll have fewer colds this year.
Gotta comment? Post it here, or email me.

This is a great video. I think many of us personally related what Manny has said. I was fortunate to be there to see Manny and I too was very pleased with the response from the medical professionals. Just a year or so ago, I think the message might have fallen on deaf ears, but there is change in the air. Thanks to Manny, DHF and tuD for help making that happen.
Thanks, Kathy! It was an incredible opportunity that I will forever be grateful for. Most importantly, I was so glad to see the positive response in the audience, which was mostly made up of medical professionals and people representing the insurance and pharma/device sectors.

But a new worldwide study of consumers by ABI Research found a wide disparity in how long it takes individuals to save up for a new tablet based on income.
For example, in the U.S., where most of the world's branded tablets are sold, it takes only a few days of income for individuals to afford a mainstream device . But in Indonesia and Philippines buyers will need more than 4 weeks' income, assuming they'd want to spend that much on a new tablet.
The average selling price (ASP) of a tablet in the U.S. stands at $343 compared to $445 in 2012. But for the second straight year the ASP of tablets in Chile is among the highest in the world at US$614. Part of the reason for this is interest in Apple's higher-priced iPad line.
"Similar to China and even Brazil, there is brand cache associated with the Apple brand in Chile that attracts an early audience willing to pay a premium," the study says.
That $614 ASP in Chile is actually down significantly from a year ago whe it was almost a hundred dollars higher at $712,
Where the iPad is less available or there's less interest in it, the ASP goes down. Average tablet prices in Ukraine and Poland, for example, fell in half over the past year to below US$300. Meanwhile, ABI said India encountered a significant drop resulting in the lowest tablet ASPs in the study.
"This is primarily due to the lower penetration of Apple's iPad products compared to other brands. Should additional countries see a switch from majority Apple to a more competitive shipment level, this same trend is expected to follow."
(Worth Reading: 8 best sub-$300 tablets to splash some cash on this holiday season)
On the whole, lower prices
"Every country encountered a drop in tablet ASPs and greater affordability year-over-year," says Jeff Orr, senior practice director at ABI Research. "This is not surprising given the broader range of vendors and competitive pressure to use price as a lever to secure an audience."
The report reviewed tablet ASPs and the gross national income (GNI) per capita and average size of household for 22 countries to determine the length of time it will take to purchase a tablet in the local market.

Events: Wonderful Wine Workshops
One of my favorite group of folks to hang out with are sommeliers. First of all, they are in the business of making people happy and generally speaking, they're pretty good at it. Because they know an awful lot about wine, I almost always learn something from them.
Since you might only get a few moments consulting with a sommelier or wine director in a busy restaurant or wine bar, taking a class from them is a great way to absorb even more wine smarts.
Recently I attended a class at the SOMA wine bar District. Wine director Caterina Mirabelli is just a terrific person to spend your time with on a lazy Saturday afternoon. She's smart, friendly, enthusiastic and has a real eye for quality not to mention value when it comes to wine. She's also not afraid to buck the trends. I love the way she describes certain wines– Pinot is an elegant lady or Zinfandel is a big bruiser. Her classes are interactive, small scale and include a brunch buffet.
Upcoming September classes at District include French Pinot (Burgundy) vs Pinots from around the world and a brunch featuring pate, French charcuterie, and foie gras.
In October learn about Italian Wines & Truffles and the brunch will include truffles.
Classes including brunch are $75, check out the event listings at District for more information and to purchase tickets.
What: Brunch with Caterina, wine classes
Where: District, 216 Townsend St, San Francisco
When: 12 – 2 pm, weekends, September – October 2008
How: Class and brunch, $75 tickets available online.
Another fun upcoming wine event is the Wine & Dating workshop hosted by Liza the Wine Chick, wine educator and Annie Gleason, dating coach of Get a Love Life. Learn about wine, business etiquette and body language in this engaging workshop.
What: a Fun Night of Wine and Dating Workshops wine and nibbles included
Where: 41A Sanchez St, San Francisco
When: 6 – 8 pm September 24, 2008
How: Tickets are $20, space is limited so email to reserve
I checked in with Liza to see if she'd share some love tips– that is, wines she has fallen for lately. Here are her picks:
1) Château La Moulinière 2007 Bordeaux rosé: It's summer and even if it's not hot in San Francisco it's still rosé season for me. This one is a rowdy and refreshing mix of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. About $15 retail.
2) Animus 2005 Douro: Because I am hopelessly in love with Portuguese wines and their unique flavor profile. This one is a blend of the traditional grapes used in Port and you can really taste them in the wine. It also has a cool, modern label. $15 a bottle.
3) Pineapple Riesling non-vintage: Yes, this sounds wacky but it's lovely and refreshing for summer and would be a great base for a spritzer or a cocktail. It can be found, or shipped from, one 36 Vintner's Cellars locations, $18.
4) LaRocca 2005 Syrah: This rich, chewy, fruit-forward wine is certified organic (which you rarely see due to complex laws) and $19.
5) Mt. Difficulty 2006 Roaring Meg Pinot Noir: How can you not love a wine that may taste even better than its more expensive sibling and hails from one of the most exciting Pinot Noir producing areas in the world– Central Otago in New Zealand, $20.

Instagram Lo-Fi Filter Recipe - Mk1 (Nokia Imaging SDK)
This recipe replicates Instagram's Lo-Fi Filter using Nokia Imaging SDK inbuilt filters.
Contents |
The Instagram Lo-Fi filter makes colours richer and adds stronger shadows. This filter is used in about 2.55% of all photos shared on Instagram (source /filterfakers.com).
The recipe in this article shows how to recreate Lo-Fi by combining some of the 50+ inbuilt filters from the Nokia Imaging SDK. The recipe below is loosely based on this guide by Vaibhav on www.tricky-photoshop.com.
The article includes the recipe source code, instructions on how it can be used and tested, performance measurements and a gallery.
Source code
The code for creating the effect, the source, renderer and target is described in #How to use the filter and Core concepts (Nokia Developer Library). The fragment below shows only the "recipe-specific" code for adding the filters to the List<IFilter>.
Warning: The code below uses a Rect based on the image size (m_FrameSize) to define the vignetting region. Depending on the architecture of your app this may be available directly where you're defining the filter, or indirectly from the source. This is discussed further in #How to use the filter.
var filters = new List<IFilter>();
// Instagram Lo-Fi
//Adjust colors
Curve curve_adjustcolour = new Curve(CurveInterpolation.Linear);
curve_adjustcolour.SetPoint(31, 0);
curve_adjustcolour.SetPoint(211, 255);
filters.Add(new CurvesFilter(curve_adjustcolour, curve_adjustcolour, curve_adjustcolour));
Color black; //from Windows.UI
black.R = 0;
black.G = 0;
black.B = 0;
// NOTE: How m_FrameSize is obtained depends on the architecture
Rect region = new Rect();
region.X = 0.1 * m_FrameSize.Width;
region.Y = 0.1 * m_FrameSize.Height;
region.Width = m_FrameSize.Width - (2 * region.X);
region.Height = m_FrameSize.Height - (2 * region.Y);
filters.Add(new VignettingFilter(1.5, black, region));
//Adjust colors
double a = -1.327294144973702e-05;
double b = 0.005561362467440;
double c = 0.444925588571998;
Curve curve_colouradjust1 = new Curve(CurveInterpolation.Linear);
for (int i = 1; i < 255; i++)
int yvalue = (int)(a * Math.Pow(i, 3) + b * Math.Pow(i, 2) + c * i);
curve_colouradjust1.SetPoint(i, yvalue);
filters.Add(new CurvesFilter(curve_colouradjust1, curve_colouradjust1, curve_colouradjust1));
//Adjust colors
Curve curve_colouradjust2 = new Curve(CurveInterpolation.Linear);
a = -0.001396825396825;
b = 1.356190476190476;
for (int i = 1; i < 255; i++)
int yvalue = (int)(a * Math.Pow(i, 2) + b * i);
curve_colouradjust2.SetPoint(i, yvalue);
filters.Add(new CurvesFilter(curve_colouradjust2, curve_colouradjust2, curve_colouradjust2));
//Adjust colors
Curve curve_colouradjust3 = new Curve(CurveInterpolation.Linear);
curve_colouradjust3.SetPoint(255, 229);
filters.Add(new CurvesFilter(curve_colouradjust2, curve_colouradjust2, curve_colouradjust2));
How to use the filter
This recipe uses only filters based on IFilter. These are combined by simply adding them to an IFilter list, which is then passed to a FilterEffect along with the source. The code fragment below shows the general strategy (this is explained in more detail in Nokia Developer SDK - Core concepts).
var filters = new List<IFilter>();
//The recipe filters are added here
using (var source = new StreamImageSource(stream))
using (var filterEffect = new FilterEffect(source) { Filters = filters })
using (var renderer = new WriteableBitmapRenderer(filterEffect, writeableBitmap))
await renderer.RenderAsync();
The recipe uses a Rect based on the image size (m_FrameSize) to define the vignetting region. In the code fragment above we have access to the source as a StreamImage, and so can get the ImageSize using the following asynchronous function call:
//Get image size from stream to use in vignetting. Note is asynchronous call.
ImageProviderInfo imageInformation = await StreamImage.GetInfoAsync();
Size m_FrameSize= imageInformation.ImageSize;
Depending on the application architecture it may be possible to get hold of frames directly. It is also possible to define vignetting without a region, and this might be an area for further exploration.
Testing the filter
The easiest way to test the recipes is to add them to the Test Apps for Viewing Custom Filters (Nokia Imaging SDK) (a fork of the Real Time Filter Demo). Simply to add the filter source above to both RealtimeFilterDemo and StaticFilterViewer test apps in their respective switch statements. You may also need to add the line:
using Windows.UI;
Note that the code for both test apps makes the frame size available as m_FrameSize (as used in the recipe snippets).
The code has been released with the standard MIT License.
This section lists the approximate frame rate range (in frames-per-second) obtained by using the recipe in the Test framework.

Authorities from the Texas State Police have not yet identified the individuals they suspect were injured in an Austin, TX on Monday, March 25th, 2013. Police and accident investigators believe that five people were injured when a suspected drunk driver hopped a curb and struck them at a taco stand in Austin. The driver reportedly fled the scene after the accident.
Scene of the Accident
According to the report, the injuries stemming from the accident range from minor to serious. One individual was burned by cooking oil from the taco stand as a result of the collision. The investigation into the fatal accident is currently active and ongoing by personnel from both local and state agencies. Authorities hope that any eyewitnesses that have not come forward will do so in an effort to aid investigators in better understanding the nature of the accident that injured multiple people.

Maybe they can tell us about the Southport priest, that was arrested 3 years ago and charged with 'Indecent Liberties Against a Child'. A little over two years later, poof, it was all gone. Just like hundreds of other cases each year. Was there another "Silence Agreement" ? Answers we will never have...... As long as we have silence, lies, and tricks, protecting child-abusing priests, this evil will still go on. »

Concierge.com's insider take:
Few visitors venture into Poble Sec, the largely residential "dry village," so named because it lacked any water supply until the 19th century. The narrow streets and 18th-century buildings that back up the east-facing side of Montjuïc (the mountain wedged between the city and sea) offer little in the way of sights—for years, the main draw was tapas at Quimet & Quimet. Slowly but surely, however, Poble Sec is developing a reputation as a cozy neighborhood studded with intimate bars and restaurants springing up along its backstreets, particularly the Carrer Blai. The reopening of El Molino, an iconic music hall in the style of Paris' Moulin Rouge (99 Carrer Vilà i Vilà) suggests a bright new beginning for the area, as does the appearance of 41°, a cocktail bar from the Adrià brothers.—Updated by Suzanne Wales

American Academy of Ophthalmology Web Site: www.aao.org Original URL: October 2005
What's Happening For the Record FYI Washington Report Members at Large
What's Happening Trends in CME In the late 1970s, U.S. state legislatures and specialty boards began making CME a requirement for relicensure and recertification. The CME system has since become a cornerstone of continued professional development, so why change it? Pressure for change. In 1999, the Institute of Medicine published To Err Is Human. This seminal report claimed that physicians are slow to integrate new knowledge into clinical practice. Some argue that this is because traditional forms of CME such as didactic presentations measured in terms of seat time aren't up to the job of persuading physicians to change their practice behavior. Meanwhile, physicians have complained that CME providers could be more responsive to their learning needs. Some doctors say that the traditional CME formats don't meet everybody's learning preferences. Others have complained that they struggle to find enough time to stay up-to-date. Whether new formats for CME will be more effective at changing physician behavior remains to be seen. One thing is certain; there is a strong movement to link CME with changes in physician behavior. This can be seen in the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education requirement that exemplary CME programs demonstrate effectiveness in meeting educational needs as measured by practice application and/or health status improvement. And the American Board of Medical Specialties is also pressing for that causal relationship in its required components for Maintenance of Certification (MOC). Future direction of CME. The Council of Medical Specialty Societies launched a Conjoint Committee on Continuing Medical Education as a forum for determining how the CME system should evolve. That committee has recommended that specialty-specific core curricula should be developed for CME, and that any recommendations for patient care should be evidence-based. It also urged that new ways be developed to evaluate how effective CME programs are in educating physicians and changing physician behavior. Two components of the ABMS MOC process are evidence of lifelong learning and assessment of performance in practice. All medical specialty societies are beginning to identify ways to link CME (lifelong learning) with performance in practice. New ways to earn CME credits. There is likely to be a loosening of the by-the-hour basis under which physicians currently earn CME credits. Already CME providers are required to use the term credit but not necessarily base that on time spent in the activity. The AMA has made several important additions and modifications to its Physician's Recognition Award Category 1 Credit. Accredited CME providers can now designate credit for Internet searching and learning, test-item writing, manuscript review, and performance improvement activities. For instance, it is proposed that physicians should be able to earn credit for self-directed learning that is triggered by challenges that come up in actual practice. Future of Academy CME. The Academy has already developed a core curriculum (the Practicing Ophthalmologists Curriculum) based on the knowledge base development effort of 10 panels of ophthalmologists. Future CME activities will be linked to this curriculum, organized around 10 practice emphasis areas. Members may expect to see more emphasis on self-directed CME, focusing on individuals assessments of their learning needs. Further reading. The Conjoint Committee on CME report is available at www.cmss.org under the tab for Repositioning CME. The ABMS has an expanded discussion of assessment of performance in practice, as well as the overall approach to MOC, at www.abms.org. The Academy has information on the ABMS MOC process at www.aao.org/ame.
Brief History of the Academy's CME Program The American Academy of Ophthalmology (the Academy) is the largest national membership association of ophthalmologists. More than 90 percent of practicing U.S. ophthalmologists are Academy members, and the Academy has more than 7,000 international members. The Academy evolved as part of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology (AAOO), which was founded in 1896 primarily to provide continuing medical education to eye, ear, nose, and throat physicians. The American Academy of Ophthalmology was incorporated as an independent organization in 1979 when the AAOO was divided into two separate academies, one for ophthalmology and one for otolaryngology. The Academy carries on the heritage of the AAOO in providing continuing medical education to eye physicians.
Academy members are committed to responding compassionately to their patients individual needs and to advancing the highest standards of comprehensive eye care. To enable its members to meet these goals, the Academy provides a wide variety of programs, products, and services to ophthalmologists and the patients they serve. Among these programs is an extensive offering of continuing medical education (CME) activities.
The original continuing education effort of the AAOO was the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting is now a four-day event that includes an extensive scientific program, including 500 courses, 25 symposia in conjunction with ophthalmic subspecialty societies, 100 scientific papers, 500 scientific posters, two scientific exhibits, and a video program comprising 30 videos. Approximately 12,000 ophthalmologists attend the Annual Meeting each year. Subspecialty Day, created in 1994, immediately precedes the Annual Meeting and offers an intensive review of the latest advances in three to six ophthalmic subspecialties each year. Each subspecialty meeting is either one or two days in length, and is comprised of approximately 60 eight-minute presentations per day.
Although the Annual Meeting remains the single most important continuing education activity for Academy members, the Basic and Clinical Science Course (BCSC) has become the foundation of the Academy's enduring materials. Thirteen BCSC books or sections provide comprehensive coverage of all ophthalmology and have become a required course of study for residents.
The BCSC began in 1939 as a home study course. Originally intended as an aid for young ophthalmologists in residency training, it consisted of prescribed reading followed by a written examination. During World War II the target audience expanded to include ophthalmologists in practice. In 1943 the Academy elected the first Secretary for Home Study Courses, a position that has evolved into Secretary for Ophthalmic Knowledge.
The BCSC has become the core ophthalmic CME material. It serves as the basis for the examination completed annually by every resident. Perhaps more importantly, ophthalmologists in practice now purchase more copies of the BCSC than residents and residency programs. All BCSC sections are reviewed for currency every year, and three sections are fully revised every four years, so that at least three new sections are available annually. A committee of five to eight ophthalmologists supervises development of each BCSC section, and a chairperson provides leadership to section chairs to ensure comprehensive coverage.
The Academy's CME program has evolved from the traditional fare of educational activities such as the Annual Meeting and the BCSC program to a much broader array of activities, including Regional Update Courses, videotape presentations of clinical skills, the Ophthalmology Monograph series (book-length treatments of highly specialized topics), CD-ROM presentations of update courses presented at the Annual Meeting, the Focal Points subscription series of clinical modules, a comprehensive self-assessment program, and an extensive offering of cases and courses in the online Education Resource Center (ERC). Some of these activities are no longer offered; others have been evolving for many years. A Senior Secretary for Clinical Education sits on the Academy's Board of Trustees and the Executive Committee and oversees the efforts of three Clinical Education secretariats as well as the editor of the Academy's medical journal, Ophthalmology.
The most recent shift in the Academy's CME effort occurred in 2002 when the American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO) began implementing the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. (For more on this, see the Maintenance of Certification feature article in this month's issue of EyeNet Magazine.)

If Eye Care Is in Your Genes, Please Contact the Academy Academy Seniors (formerly the Senior Ophthalmologist Interest Group) believes that ophthalmology has a familial heritage that surpasses other specialties in medicine. In June of 1999, Thomas A. Weingeist, MD, PhD, past president of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (2002), published an editorial in EyeNet mirroring this belief. His article discussed the relevancy and archival importance of identifying national and international, third- and fourth-generation Academy ophthalmologists. Academy Seniors has adopted this legacy project and will compile the information for the Academy archives and Museum. The Museum will also create an exhibit for display at the 2006 Joint Meeting. Please help Academy Seniors to record this historical data by forwarding the names of second-, third- or fourth-generation ophthalmologists. You can submit the family name(s); brief family history; birth dates; ages; schools attended; duration, location and type of practice; as well as any other interesting facts that might be applicable. To submit your information, please send it to the attention of Brigid Saulny by mail at American Academy of Ophthalmology, 655 Beach Street, San Francisco, CA 94109 or by e-mail to email@example.com.

Members at Large State Society Leaders Are On the Road in N.J. The seven-month On the Road program has provided an excellent opportunity to meet our members and potential members face-to-face and to relay how the New Jersey Academy of Ophthalmology continues to be an excellent resource for information and ophthalmology's voice in the state noted John D. Dugan Jr., MD, NJAO president. From March through September, NJAO leaders, supported by an educational grant from Alcon, scheduled a series of five meetings across the state. They invited both members and nonmembers alike to hear from NJAO leaders and to provide their input on the organization's agenda and programs. NJAO leaders presented topics including the history of the NJAO, conflicts and compromises, while also plugging the importance of New Jersey's Ophthalmology PAC and the Academy's Surgical Scope Fund. This has allowed us not only to highlight NJAO accomplishments, but also to discuss the crucial work ahead, said Ralph C. Lanciano Jr., DO, NJAO councilor. Through this program, members could network with leadership and also had the opportunity to provide their input on NJAO programs and services. We wanted to meet with current members and reach out to nonmembers to strongly encourage them to join and unify with their colleagues to support their state ophthalmological society. Hitting the road along with Drs. Dugan and Lanciano to participate in these series of meetings were several NJAO board members, including six NJAO past presidents and NJAO executive director Bev Lynch. The Academy's Secretariat for State Affairs commends the NJAO and its leadership for this innovative approach to membership retention and recruitment, said Academy Secretary for State Affairs Cynthia A. Bradford, MD. It is a great way for leadership to show that it values its members input and to share information about the state society. This will likely be emulated by other state societies across the country. The Secretariat for State Affairs selected the NJAO as a 2005 Star Award recipient. Four other societies also received the Star Award for outstanding programs:
These state societies will be formally recognized during the October 17 Presidents' Breakfast and Recognition Awards held in conjunction with the Academy's Annual Meeting. Passages Marshall M. Parks, MD, the main founder of pediatric ophthalmology, died July 27, 2005. He was 87. Dr. Parks had a distinguished career as a physician, writer, lecturer, professor and leader. He defined the diagnosis and treatment of strabismus and amblyopia, described monofixation syndrome, explained the benefits of early strabismus surgery, wrote about the management of infantile cataracts and invented surgical techniques. Dr. Parks completed St. Louis University School of Medicine in 1943. His medical prowess earned him an internship at the U.S. Naval Hospital in San Diego, where he trained until he served as a medical officer aboard destroyers in the Pacific theater during World War II. Afterward, he completed his ophthalmology residency at the U.S. Naval Hospital, Great Lake, Ill. Dr. Parks introduced the practice of pediatric ophthalmology before ophthalmic subspecialties existed. In 1946, Dr. Parks encountered dozens of children with vision problems and decided to expand the pediatric ophthalmology program with his mentor, Frank D. Costenbader, MD, at Children's Hospital in Washington, D.C. Dr. Parks achieved the posts of attending physician at Children's National Medical Center and the Washington Hospital Center, clinical professor at George Washington University Medical Center and instructor at Georgetown University Medical Center. In Dallas, he was instructor at Children's Medical Center and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, all while simultaneously working as a consultant surgeon. He also served for 40 years as consultant at Bethesda Naval Medical Center and Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The founder of the Costenbader Society, Dr. Parks trained more than 160 of the world's leading pediatric ophthalmologists. Over 15 societies honored him with prestigious awards, including the American Academy of Ophthalmology's Laureate Recognition (2004) and Life Achievement (1998) awards. Among his many leadership positions, Dr. Parks was the first president of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus and president and chairman of the board for the Children's Eye Foundation. He was president of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (1982), and director and chairman of the board of The Foundation of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Memorial contributions may be made in his name to the Children's Eye Foundation, 655 Beach St., San Francisco, CA 94109.

I've blogged before about how this government are turning the overseas aid budget into a giant slush fund to 'incentivise' British businesses to invest in developing countries – and repatriate the profits back to the UK – rather than focussing on traditional aid priorities of poverty alleviation. Yesterday Diane Abbott exposed one element of this, how the Department for International Development (DfID) are handing millions to UK-based private consultants while rejecting clean water projects in places like Burkina Faso.
Speaking in a private members debate in Westminster Hall, the Labour MP said:
We are seeing the emergence of Lords of Poverty. People are building fat businesses and paying themselves fat salaries creamed from the budget of the Department for International Development. Lords of Poverty, hardship tycoons, pinstriped famine magnates: whatever we call them, the phenomenon is growing.
The Sunday Telegraph did an analysis of DFID spending that showed that £29 million was paid in the past 12 months to Triple Line [a London-based company that advises on overseas aid]. It seems that the only thing that Triple Line triples is its own bottom line.
It kept £1.9 million as a fee for its services. The public will be baffled by DFID's outsourcing assessing a bid for aid to one mega-consultancy and then outsourcing it again to a different consultancy, a specialist branch of the accountants, KPMG.
In the past 12 months, DFID has paid KPMG more than £35 million. Of course, KPMG says that a lot of that is passed on to aid providers, and perhaps it kept back £3.5 million as a fee.
Of the 117 major DFID contracts and procurement agreements worth nearly £750 million only nine went to non-UK firms. Several of the best-paid consultants are former DFID officials, who appear to have gained substantial increases in their personal wealth since leaving the Department, even though they are still doing essentially the same work.
Abbott also highlighted the role of Adam Smith International, an offspring of the Right wing think tank the Adam Smith Institute:
Adam Smith International was paid a total of £37 million by DFID last year to promote the free market in the third world. The managing director of Adam Smith International trousers £1.3 million. Anything further removed from the public's idea of the kind of people who go abroad to help some of the poorest people in other countries could not be imagined.
William Morrison, another member of Adam Smith International, earned £200,000 from that firm and collected dividends worth £1.06 million from its parent company,
Amphion Group, which is wholly owned by him and three of his fellow directors. A director of Adam Smith International and Amphion, Peter Young, justified the payments, saying: "If you want to get a good job done, you have to get people who know what they're doing."
With the greatest respect to Adam Smith International, the idea that one cannot get the skills to improve and strengthen the government and economic structures of third-world countries without paying UK-based directors £125,000 each is risible. There are so many people of Nigerian, Afghan, Caribbean or horn of Africa origin with the skills, ability and talent, but they are unable to break into this sort of work because companies such as Adam Smith International have a death grip on it.
Having visiting Zimbabwe several times I have seen how many aid workers appear to be living well-off lives, driving around in 4×4 cars and socialising in their own cafés and restaurants without making any discernible difference on the ground. As a great supporter of overseas aid it is frustrating that so much of it appears to be squandered on giving largely white middle class Britons a comfortable existence abroad while being of so little benefit to the local populations it is supposed to be helping.
The fact that DfID is now handing out millions of taxpayers pounds to private consultants looks like an extension of this problem, and it is one which further brings the aid budget into disrepute at the very time when many of the poorest countries desperately need practical assistance to tackle issues like disease and sanitation, and building schools, clinics and infrastructure to facilitate economic growth.
The involvement of an organisation so ideologically Right wing as Adam Smith International also looks like a further politicisation of international aid. Even though the aid budget is ring-fenced much of it is now being redirected towards "stimulating private investment" as this report by the former international aid minister Andrew Mitchell – yes he of Plebgate fame – makes clear.
The Conservatives clearly see the overseas aid budget as one great big business opportunity, with the beneficiaries being people who look like them. Indeed some of the beneficiaries may actually be them. The losers, of course, are the world's poor who are getting even less help than before.
Last year Lib Dem peer Paddy Ashdown set out a number of recommendations about how to improve the effectiveness of international aid. Many of his ideas are sensible but what is missing from the debate is how the Tories are forcing through an ideological shift while helping their consultant and business friends. It's about time more MPs joined Abbott in highlighting these issues.

This is it – the end of our strange and wonderful shopping journey for the year. We know it can be tough to know what to get for someone for the holidays – anyone, really, regardless of how well you know them. We'd like to think that these shopping guides have been of some help. Even if you didn't go after anything on these lists there's the chance that something sparked an idea, which resulted in a successful gift. At least that's what we'd like to think.
Other 148Apps Holiday Gift Guides: for the [Heath Nuts] [Socializers] [Creative Types] [Gamers]
Today's guide is for the intense "power users" you may know. Business folks, diehard Apple fans – anyone who tends to push their device's battery to the limits every day, mostly. If you're looking for something to make their trips easier, help out at the office, or even just keep their iPad running for a few more hours, check out our list below for some ideas.
iKit NuCharge Battery Case for iPhone 5
The iKit NuCharge Battery Case ($89 – iPhone) is a compact, lightweight case that allows users to charge their phone on-the-go. It's pretty much perfect for commuters, travelers, and anyone who spends large chunks of time away from their charger, really. It's a great way to keep a phone working so no important calls are missed, or even allowing for enough time to watch Home Alone while waiting at the airport. [Our Review]
The NuCharge case is a great all-around piece of hardware to have, but it pairs particularly well with essential work-related apps like Triage ($0.99 – iPhone), Appoint ($3.99 – iPhone), and Reeder 2 ($4.99 – Universal). You won't have to worry about running out of juice while answering important emails, last-minute changes to an itinerary, and keeping up on feeds.
ZaggKeys Cover for iPad Mini
If you've got an iPad Mini and plan to use it for anything other than basic web browsing, email reading, and gaming, then you'll probably want to check out the ZaggKeys Cover for iPad Mini ($99 – iPad Mini). It's well-built, has a sturdy hinge, is slim enough to be conveniently portable, allows users to place their iPad in backwards (i.e. they can use the iPad without awkwardly leaving the keyboard open or separating it entirely), and the keys are backlit. Kind of a no-brainer for any iPad Mini owner, really. [Our Review]
With a fancy iPad Mini keyboard like this, why not consider a writing app or two? Write for iPad ($1.99 – iPad) is a good coice for someone looking to write just about anything on the go, while Infinite PDF ($9.99 – iPad) offers up an extensive suite of PDF managing tools. It's a combination that's handy for presentations, setting up book layouts, and so on.
Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover
The Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover ($99 – iPad) is one iPad keyboard that I'm particularly fond of. It offers some decent screen protection, pops on and off easily but is also strong enough not to accidentally fall off on its own, and makes for an incredibly sturdy stand. This is another one that's idea for anyone who does a lot of writing for any reason, as well as for those who like to give presentations with their iPad [Our Review]
With those two factors in mind (presentations and writing), why not think about OmniPlan 2 for iPad ($59.99 – iPad) or Air Display 2 ($9.99 – iPad) as a digital pack-in with your gift? OmniPlan is ideal for organizing large projects and managing teams down to their smallest details. Air Display, on the other hand, would go incredibly well with the Ultrathin's functionality as a stand and allow the user to turn their iPad into a second computer monitor.
Dodocase Folio for iPad
Let's take a step back from all the super-intense stuff for a moment and appreciate the Dodocase Folio for iPad ($124 – iPad). It's a very sturdy, functional, and elegant case that would look great on any professional's iPad. It includes large pockets on the inside flap for notes and such, a little spot along the fold for a pen or stylus, and has this marvelous "old book" appearance when closed. It makes the iPad a bit more bulky, but it's still ideal for anyone who prefers to stay organized (and look good while doing it!). [Our Review]
SanDisk Wireless Media Drives
The SanDisk Wireless Media Drives ($50 to $100 – iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch) serve as an ideal alternative to cloud storage. They vary in price and available storage space, but any of them can be useful in a variety of situations. Loading up a bunch of movies to stream to an iOS device later (thus sparing the device's own storage space) is only one example. The drives also allow users to upload their own media files from their device – so tons of photos from a family trip, video from an on-location film shoot, and more can all be transferred with little effort or fuss. [Our Review]
You might want to consider including It's Playing Pro ($4.99 – Universal) with one of those drives, as according to our own Jeff Scott it's actually a much better app to use for streaming video playback than the suggested official SanDisk app. Say&Go ($0.99 – iPhone) is another good fit, since users would be able to record all the voice memos and notes they could stand without worrying about using up their device's storage. Photo apps such as FancyCam ($1.99 – iPhone) are also a great fit due to the photo/storage combo.
NeatConnect Cloud Scanner
Whether working from home in a personal office or on a trip with a portable one, the NeatConnect Cloud Scanner ($499 – iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch) is definitely something to consider. This wireless document scanner doesn't require the use of a computer of any kind. Instead, it can scan and upload documents (saved as PDF, JPG, and more) directly to cloud services like Dropbox and Google Drive. This means it would be a snap for someone to scan a few receipts to load onto their iPhone for expense tracking, or important paperwork that they'd be able to transfer to their iPad and fiddle with. Greyscale, color, black and white, or two-sided – it makes no difference to this scanner. [Our Review]
So why not include something like Polaris Office ($0.99 – Universal) with it? This mini office-on-the-go app even supports Dropbox file transfers, so it'd be a snap to upload documents with the NeatConnect and then download them straight to Polaris Office. PDF Expert 5 ($9.99 – iPad) is another great fit, what with it being newly redesigned for iOS 7 and receiving a sizable amount of new features – namely the Review mode that allows users to edit and make notes on PDF files.
Dropcam Pro
Dropcam Pro ($199 – iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch) isn't about productivity, but about peace of mind. The camera connects to a home network and can be accessed through an iOD device in order to watch the house while on a trip, keep an eye on the kids or pets from work, and plenty of other scenarios. Setup is easy, video streams can be kept private or shared with specific individuals (or made entirely public if one so chooses), and the app even knows to turn the camera off once the user comes home. Of course you'll also want to grab the free official Dropcam app to go with it. [Our Review]

Corporate bonds 'would benefit industry, superannuation'
PUBLISHED: 13 Dec 2011 10:56:00 | UPDATED: 14 Dec 2011 02:43:52PUBLISHED: 13 Dec 2011 PRINT EDITION: 14 Dec 2011John Kehoe

Corporate adviser Mark Johnson says the government's adoption of bond market reforms that he recommended will remove a key "road block" to companies issuing debt to local investors and reduce superannuation funds' reliance on equities.
Mr Johnson, chair of the government's financial centre taskforce, said yesterday the potential for increased supply of corporate bonds in the market meant superannuation funds now needed to seriously consider reweighting their portfolios with more fixed income assets at the expense of shares.
"We have given high priority on the work on debt markets because of the link through to superannuation has become very obvious," he told The Australian Financial Review.
"The relatively high equity exposure that Australian superannuation funds have taken on should be something they should be able to remedy should they wish.
"This is trying to give them the supply of securities for risk control and product development like annuities."
Australian super funds have just 14 per cent of their portfolios in bonds, compared with 27 per cent for pension funds in the US, 36 per cent for Canada and 56 per cent for Japan, Towers Watson says.
Treasurer Wayne Swan yesterday met regulators, company executives and financial market players in Sydney at a round table arranged by Credit Suisse investment banker Mark Burrows, who is advocating the development of the corporate bond market.
Discussions centred on why there was an investor bias towards equity and impediments to a deep and liquid corporate bond market. They focused on the institutional side of the market and how companies can tap the more than $1.3 trillion in retirement income savings.
Local companies have $173 billion of debt outstanding, of which 81 per cent has been issued offshore.
Regulators who attended included Australian Securities and Investments Commission chairman Greg Medcraft, Reserve Bank of Australia Assistant Governor Guy Debelle, Australian Prudential Regulation Authority executive Ross Jones, Treasury's head of markets, Jim Murphy, and Australian Office of Financial Management chief Rob Nicholl.
Private sector representatives included Australian Securities Exchange chief Elmer Funke Kupper, Insurance Australia Group boss Mike Wilkins, Future Fund chairman and Credit Suisse adviser David Murray, Colonial First State Global Asset Management chief Mark Lazberger, Woodside Petroleum chief financial officer Lawrie Tremaine, Fortescue Metals Group chief financial officer Stephen Pearce, QR National chief financial officer Deborah O'Toole, Woolworths treasurer Asrar Rahman, Origin Energy treasurer Peter Rice, Coca-Cola Amatil treasurer Michael Braude and Challenger head of retirement income Jeremy Cooper.
Treasury released a discussion paper yesterday, flagging ways for listed companies to publish no or simple prospectuses when issuing vanilla bonds to retail investors.
Challenger head of fixed interest Bob Sahota said retail participation in the bond market was admirable, but it should be the "icing on the cake rather than the cake".
"Institutions should be the ones they are targeting because that's where the bulk of the money sits," he said. "It's going to take some directive by regulators to have a greater proportion of superannuation savings dedicated to lower volatility, higher-income-producing asset class such as fixed income," Mr Sahota said.
Mr Johnson opposed government mandates on asset allocation.
"My personal view is that the government should not mandate, but the government may want to mandate inquiries at certain stages," he said.
Mr Swan, who addressed the meeting at lunchtime, said the government's policy was long term and there was no silver bullet.
"I think a large part of this problem are the commercial realities facing both sides of the transaction," he said.
"Issuers seem to be able to get access to cheaper funds from other sources, particularly our banks.
"Investors do not seem attracted by the pricing of bonds, relative to returns they get on other investment classes, particularly equities."
Regulation, tax, distribution and investment culture will shape the future of the market, Australian Financial Markets Association head Duncan Fairweather said.
The Treasury paper reviews directors' personal liability for misleading or deceptive statements or material omissions contained within retail bond disclosure documents.
Mallesons partner David Eliakim said: "What really is important about this paper is it's seriously raised the possibility of reducing liability profiles for directors in the context of disclosure documents."
UBS executive director of capital markets Barry Sharkey said the paper identified the key issues to assist corporate bond issuances.
"This is evolutionary, not revolutionary," he said. "It's going to take time . . . to develop a vibrant corporate bond market."
Mr Sharkey said the move to remove personal liability for directors of companies issuing corporate bonds was the number one issue.
"It is the most important thing the government can do to make it more consistent with the way equity is raised."
He added: "It has made it harder to raise capital in this market if you have extra hoops to jump through, but if it's the most efficient market for the issuer documentation should never drive that decision."

If you are already a guest or a member sign in below.
If you don't have a smart TV with DLNA functionality, a media hub or streamer will be a simple way to get what you want to watch from your computer to your TV.
There are seven hubs or streamers in this test, but some Blu-ray or DVD players, games consoles such as Sony PS3 or Xbox 360, Apple TV, Fetch box or even an up-to-date AV receiver with DLNA can do the job.
Our assessment is mainly based on how easy they are to set up and use.
The comparison table has our scores and details on the common file types they support, connections and the pros and cons for each product.
On the Apps available page we've listed all the apps each product supported at the time of testing.
Our tester, James Thomson, assesses the set-up and help documentation supplied with the product and checks to see if all the cables and connectors needed to get started are supplied. He also checks which audio visual connections are supported.
James then connects the device to a TV and installs a hard drive where required. He checks for the latest firmware and upgrades the device where necessary; taking note of how difficult this is to do for all the products on test.
He scores each device for the following actions: initial configuration, networking, navigation of the user interface, changing configuration settings, setting up DLNA and network connection and security for both cable and Wi-Fi connections.
He also checks the remote control for the shape, spacing and grouping of keys, the prominence of often used keys and clarity of the labelling. He also checks to see if the hand piece is well balanced and easy-to-use with one hand.
We measure the power consumption of each device both in use and on standby and calculate an annual running cost based on an average use scenario of five hours per day active use and 19 hours per day standby. Cost is calculated at 26c per kiloWatt-hour (kWh).

Civil society leaders from across West Africa have held a two-day planning meeting in Accra towards the organisation of an annual convening event for the region.
The convening event aims to develop a strategic approach towards realising the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) Vision 2020 of transitioning from an ECOWAS of nation states to one.
The planning meeting was organised by the West African Civil Society Institute (WACSI) and the West African Civil Society Forum (WACSOF), which would be an annual affair to achieve their objectives by creating space and developing an agenda for action.
Dr Jibrin Ibrahim, Board Member of WACSI, said the meeting was to develop strategy and action plan to reverse the political and security challenges linked to erosion of the democratic order facing the region, which would be under the theme: "The Role of Civil Society in Addressing New Challenges in West Africa".
He said it was also to create an enabling environment for amplifying the voice of civil society, sharing ideas and programmes that would work and improve networking among organisations in the sub-region.
Dr Ibrahim said majority of the countries, which were in crisis could not provide for the welfare of their people.
Nana Afazidnu, Executive Director of WACSI, noted that, cashing on the vacuum, new forces was emerging and accelerating the crisis and that these included fundamentalist groups challenging the sovereignty of certain states through insurgency and narcotic-traffickers.
She said these groups collided with elements in political power to take over certain states and political entrepreneurs promoting crisis over citizenship that excluded part of the community.
Nana Afadzinu said the crisis in most West African countries were being fueled by the abuse of the powers of incumbency, where officials of government engaged in mega corruption and sought to rule with monarchical powers wanting to have their children succeeded them.
She said civil society organisations in the West African sub-region must rise to create a path towards political renewal and the deepening of democracy in the region.
Nana Afadzinu noted that, civil society organisations in the sub-region were facing serious internal challenges as foreign funding had dropped drastically and development partners now provided resources mainly to their home country's civil society groups and send them to West Africa to provide foreign consultancy.
She said: "We in civil society have been very slow in encouraging the deployment of local resources to support our engagement. The time has come for us to strategise on this fundamental issue".

Translate this page Asphalt truck overturns on I-15 causing traffic jam for Riverside County commutersTuesday, July 24th, 2012 Issue 30, Volume 16.
By 2:50 p.m., the line of cars snaking along northbound Interstate 15 where it merges with I-215 was three miles long, according to Caltrans. An asphalt truck hauling a 12-ton load overturned at the three-lane juncture in San Bernardino County around 1 p.m, said Caltrans spokeswoman Terri Kasinga. She said the driver wasn't hurt, but his entire load spilled onto the freeway. The clean-up effort was expected to last well into the evening rush, and motorists coming from Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Diego counties were advised to consider alternative routes north. Kasinga said going east on I-210 and turning north onto the 215 is a viable option. But she cautioned to expect slow travel on the 215 because of the accident. 3 comments
To many things like this happening this year. Something must change, somehow. Maybe lower the speed limit back down to 65, that will change things!!!! I'm kidding, sort of.
How do you know they were speeding where you there??
I wasn't there so i couldn't comment if they were speeding.
