Preliminary Study |
At Eco-Counter, we call upon our solid experience and knowhow to assist you with every step of the way. |
Preliminary Analysis |
Help identify the needs and objectives of your counting project Select the most appropriate counting technology and sites Help validate counts to ensure accurate data collection |
Selection of Sites |
This key step requires: A good knowledge of the premises A precise definition of counting expectations One or several on-site visits with a measuring tape and camera. |
How to Proceed: For a single simple installation the local distributor will advise you either by phone or by visiting the site with you. It is also possible to make a recommendation based on pictures and exchanged in formation. Installing a larger fleet (more than 5) will require more time and it proves often useful to sub contract with professionals. Few tips: Choose a major axis of the path, ideally a place that walkers cannot avoid Precisely list the crossroads in order to decide where the most appropriate place to install the counters is Avoid places where people can walk several times (parking lots,bathrooms), or where they can congregate (lookout points, notice boards etc...) Choose a path where people walk as normally as possible Place preference on arrow paths for more cost effective and precise counting. Ideally choose a place where people walk in a single line Keep discretion in mind when retrieving data (logger can be hidden as far as 4m away from the sensors) Choose firm ground for slabs, and keep rains periods in mind (will it be muddy, erosive) Location can vary according to season : for instance a path narrowed with a plant can become larger in winter time Control the exact wdith of the path where counters will be installed before placing the final order |
Validation of Sites |
A Validated site is a successfully monitored site . For installations in natural environments, please refer to the supplied user manual ( sent upon request). For installations in urban environments, especially for the ZELT loop on busy streets, we can assist you during the first stage, we are able to validate the site from a photo and prvide appropriate dimensions. Potential interferences must also be checked, using a specific tool. Please contact us for assistance. |

Supervalu Inc. is slated to launch a health and wellness program that takes aim at diabetes and links the food and pharmacy departments.
Retail News Breaks Archives
MINNEAPOLIS – Supervalu Inc. is slated to launch a health and wellness program that takes aim at diabetes and links the food and pharmacy departments.
Called "Living Healthy With My Diabetes," the program serves up a menu of resources to make life easier for customers with diabetes, including educational materials, health screening tests, group and individual diabetes education and training programs, medication management consultations, nutrition information, dietary tools, products and other services.
Supervalu, which describes the initiative as a "whole store" program, said Living Healthy With My Diabetes will be available nationwide at its family of food and drug stores, including Acme, Albertsons, Cub Foods, Farm Fresh, Jewel-Osco, Shaw's/Star Market, Shop 'n Save, and Shoppers Food & Pharmacy.
Plans call for Supervalu to kick off the program with special, limited-time offers between Nov. 7 and Nov. 20 in recognition of American Diabetes Month. Offers will include free blood glucose test screenings in selected pharmacy locations on Nov. 13 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; health screenings for A1C, cholesterol and liver function for $19.99; and savings booklets for discounts on diabetes-related products.
Living Healthy With My Diabetes elements available year-round include "Eating Healthy with Diabetes" store tours guided by specially trained pharmacists and registered dietitians that cover such topics as choosing healthier foods, reading Nutrition Facts labels and identifying better-for-you food options, as well as diabetes-friendly menu ideas and recipes, which can be accessed online through store web sites, and general nutrition information from registered dietitians.
Also available throughout the year are in-store pharmacy services including diabetes education, diabetes self-management services, blood glucose screenings, blood pressure monitoring and face-to-face medication reviews along with diabetes products such as equaline test strips, glucose tablets, blood pressure monitors, lancets, and latex and vinyl gloves.
"Our neighborhood grocery stores are uniquely positioned to be a one-stop solution for people with diabetes," Chris Dimos, president of pharmacy operations at Supervalu, said in a statement. "In addition to offering nutritious foods in our grocery aisles, our pharmacists and dietitians can help educate customers, provide personalized training and guide them to the information, products and services they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The program is part of our commitment to provide convenient, affordable health and wellness solutions to our customers."
The supermarket operator noted that in-store pharmacies play a key role in health and wellness issues as consumers are increasingly putting their trust in them to help meet their medical needs. A December 2009 Gallup Poll showed that 66% of respondents rated pharmacists "very high" or "high" when asked about honesty and ethical standards, second only to nurses among the top five most highly rated professions.
"Beyond the pharmacy, our stores offer tips and tools to help customers living with diabetes better manage their diets," Dimos stated. "Managing diabetes with a food plan is about understanding the importance of balanced nutrition and choosing from a variety of food groups throughout the day. Our stores offer the resources that people with diabetes need to enjoy controlled portions of foods from every food group, so they can eat what they love, balanced with what they need."
Supervalu cited research finding that 26 million Americans have diabetes, with the disease currently affecting 11.3% of U.S. adults, and if those trends continue, nearly 37 million will have diabetes by 2015, including 15% of adults. And according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 57 million Americans now have prediabetes, which puts them at risk for developing diabetes, as well as heart disease and stroke, in future years.
The total estimated cost of diabetes in the United States is $174 billion in excess medical spending, disability, work loss and premature mortality, according to CDC data reported by Supervalu.

20th-ranked Lindsey Wilson stymies Nuggets in opener
August 24, 2012
Box score
CLEVELAND, Tenn. — Kailey Moorhead's 12 kills and Kristi Hager's 27 digs Friday helped NAIA No. 20 Lindsey Wilson defeat Xavier University of Louisiana 25-16, 25-23, 25-7 in the women's volleyball season opener for both teams at the Lee Invitational.
The Blue Raiders limited Xavier's two best offensive players of a year ago, Taylor Reuther and Moira Kirk, to a combined six kills and a minus-.070 hitting percentage. Kirk's two kills were the fewest of her XU career, and Reuther's minus-.091 hitting percentage — four kills and seven errors in 33 attack attempts — was her worst.
Chinedu Echebelem recorded her third career double-double at Xavier, 12 kills and 12 digs. Freshman Alexis Clay had 17 digs.
Echebelem had seven kills in the second set to help the Gold Nuggets build a 20-16 advantage. But Lindsey Wilson scored six of the next seven points to take the lead for good, and Taylor Hayne closed the set with a kill.
Lindsey Wilson's Angela Mlachnik served all four of her aces during a 16-3 run to open the third set.
"We played really well in the second set," XU coach Christabell Hamilton said. "The first set we were a little nervous, and the third one we lost all momentum because we couldn't pass at all. We are very young and still trying to find a lineup that works and get used to each other on the court."
Four of the eight Nuggets who played were freshmen. Franziska Pirkl started at setter and had 20 assists and five digs, Claudia Haywood had four kills and two blocks, and Darian Harris had five digs in their collegiate debuts.
Lindsey Wilson outhit Xavier .264 to .069 and had advantages of 42-26 in kills, 60-51 in digs and 9-0 in aces.
It was the first time Xavier opened the season against a ranked opponent. The Gold Nuggets will play another ranked team, No. 3 Lee, at 7 p.m. EDT Friday.
The Xavier Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets compete in Division I of the
(National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) as a member of the
Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
(GCAC). Xavier fields men's teams in basketball, cross country, tennis and track and field and women's teams in basketball, cross country, tennis, track and field and volleyball.

Never did I image when I was playing the flash game Desktop Tower Defense back in High School that the genre would explode into the global gaming phenomenon that it has become. Yes, it is true that you can pretty much find this style of game on virtually every platform imaginable, but rarely are they available on the iPad for absolutely free.
TapDefenseHD is a newly released iPad exclusive that tasks you with guarding the Pearly Gates from a hellish invasion of the very worst variety. Featuring forty two stages of demonic battling fun, lets hope that you are not a Satanist – otherwise, things could be awkward. Religious subtexts aside, when you are paying nothing for a game, there is really no reason not to give it a shot.
Now the real question becomes what are the developer TapJoy's motivations for releasing this game for free? Lets just hope they are as pure as the subject matter. Give it a download and hit us up with a mini-review in the comments.

Don't buy HP laptops! Don't buy HP printers! Don't buy HP ink cartridges!
The Economic Activism for Palestine program targets corporations that are profiting from the Israeli occupation of Palestine through their involvement in illegal Israeli settlement activity in the occupied West Bank, in perpetuating the restriction of Palestinian basic rights and/or in the exploitation of Palestinian resources and labor. Hewlett-Packard is one such corporation. For more information, read Why HP?
The Coalition to Stop HP has begun a grassroots campaign targeting this corporation—but we need your help. Sign our petition calling on the CEO of HP to stop profiting from the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine and the violation of Palestinians' human rights. Specifically, it asks that Hewlett-Packard cancel all contracts that supply the Israeli state with the means—technology, equipment, and expertise—to violate the basic human rights of Palestinians and international law.
By signing this petition, you pledge to boycott HP products until this company pulls out of their unethical contracts in Israel/Palestine.
Hewlett-Packard Company
WW Corporate Headquarters
3000 Hanover Street
Palo Alto, CA 94304-1185 USA
Dear Ms. Whitman:
We call on Hewlett-Packard to stop profiting from the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine and the violation of Palestinians' human rights. Specifically, we ask that Hewlett-Packard cancel all contracts that supply the Israeli state with the means technology, equipment, and expertise—to violate the basic human rights of Palestinians and international law.
These contracts include:
• HP's contract with the Israeli Ministry of Defense to develop, execute, and maintain the Basel system, a biometric identification system installed at checkpoints in the West Bank. Israeli military checkpoints and barriers are located deep inside the West Bank, and the Basel system is used to severely restrict Palestinian movement, often between neighboring Palestinian towns; in 2011 the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs counted 522 roadblocks and checkpoints obstructing Palestinian movement in the West Bank.
• The manufacture of biometric ID cards for citizens and residents of Israel, including Palestinian citizens of Israel and Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem. This system takes to a new level of technology the stratification of citizenship rights, denying Palestinians the rights to civil equality, travel, and residence in their homeland.
• The administration of the Israeli army's information technology infrastructure (the "virtual army project"), which follows a similar project for the Israeli navy. The Israeli navy has enforced the naval blockade on the Gaza strip since 2007 and was responsible for the raid on the freedom flotilla in 2010 that resulted in the death of nine activists and the injury of many others.
• The 2009 contract to supply all PCs to the Israeli military and the 2011 contract to supply all servers to the Israeli military. HP equipment and services are routinely used for illegal collective punishment activities such as home demolitions, arbitrary restrictions on civilian movement, mass arrests, and administrative detention.
• The "smart city" services to the illegal settlement city of Ariel, deep in the West Bank, and the business partnership with the main distributor of all HP software products, operating from another major settlement city, Modi'in Illit. Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank are recognized as illegal and as a major impediment to peace by all countries except Israel.
HP's Global Human Rights policy states:
"Respecting human rights is a core value at HP and is embedded in the way we do business. . . . HP upholds and respects human rights as reflected in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Global Compact, and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights."
However, Israeli checkpoints violate Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states, "Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state." Israeli settlements in the West Bank violate international and often even Israeli law. The Israeli military, as the main enforcers of the occupation, are in violation of the Geneva Conventions and international law.
In his letter in support of divestment at the University of California-Berkeley, Archbishop Desmond Tutu wrote:
"I have been to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and I have witnessed the racially segregated roads and housing that reminded me so much of the conditions we experienced in South Africa under the racist system of Apartheid. I have witnessed the humiliation of Palestinian men, women, and children made to wait hours at Israeli military checkpoints routinely when trying to make the most basic of trips to visit relatives or attend school or college."
The international boycott of firms that supported the apartheid government of South Africa played an important role in overturning that racist regime, and people throughout the world remember which companies supported the boycott, and which companies put profits ahead of human rights. HP now has an opportunity live up to the terms of your Global Human Rights Policy.
Until HP cancels all of the above contracts with the Israeli state, I pledge to stop buying HP products and to encourage other individuals to do the same.

Ok, here's my latest "mission".
My wife and I have recently become OBSESSED with the tv show Burn Notice. It is because of this show that I have this mission which I hope will ultimately lead in my wife packing heat. The lead female character, Fiona, carries a very stylish leather fanny pack. Normally, the thought of a fanny pack brings up memories of 80's high school gym shorts, calf high striped socks and side ponytails. This one on the other hand looked, dare I say "Cool".
One could argue that Fiona could pull off any look, but I think the rugged flap style of this fanny has a less dated look than the traditional zippered lump. It now seems entirely possible for a better looking yet functional fanny pack that would allow my wife to replace her purse with something she wouldn't have to worry about "walking away". Purse carry has always been out of the question for her because of that.
There are literally a ba-zillion different handbags, purses, hip bags, and belt bags (the new name of fanny packs) so my search has been dragging on. This new fanny pack look hasn't exactly proliferated to the local mall and the ones they may have are the same old butt lump or they are stylish, but so tiny that you're lucky to squeeze a phone & keys in it.
I tried the direct route and find the exact one Fiona wears, but it turns out it was a one off that Leather N' Denim made specifically for her and not in production. Not currently able to afford something that custom has gotten me looking elsewhere.
A company called Happy Cow in Australia has a very similar looking products. They aren't exactly the same, but the style is very similar. My wife being a sensible try-it-before-you-buy-it type person is leery to order something from the other side of the world without the opportunity to try it on.
We're still searching for the right look, but at least we know that there appears to be hope. There are a number that look like they may work on luggage.com that are much more affordable, but we haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet. I wanted to first put a post up to see of any DC women out there have discovered what we're looking for. So please respond if you think you have the answer or if you'd like to refute the idea of wearing a fanny pack at all.

According to reports out of Baltimore, Robert F. Chew, who was best known for playing Proposition Joe on "The Wire," was found dead Thursday in his apartment in Baltimore.
The Baltimore County coroner says he died of cardiovascular disease. "Morbid obesity" was listed as a contributing factor for Chew who had little to no acting experience before "The Wire." He was part of the cast of the Baltimore based HBO show for five seasons.
"Robert was not only an exceptional actor, he was an essential part of the film and theater community in Baltimore," wrote David Simon, creator of 'The Wire' in an email to The Sun. "He could have gone to New York or Los Angeles and commanded a lot more work, but he loved the city as his home and chose to remain here working. He understood so much about his craft that it was no surprise at all that we would go to him to coach our young actors in season four. He was the conduit through which they internalized their remarkable performances."
Chew's funeral will be held in Baltimore on Thursday, January 24, at Calvin-Scruggs Funeral Home.

Vitamin A signals play critical roles during embryonic development. In particular, heart morphogenesis depends on vitamin A signals mediated by the retinoid X receptor alpha (RXRalpha), as the systemic mutation of this receptor results in thinning of the myocardium and embryonic lethality. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms controlled by RXRalpha signaling in this process are unclear, because a myocardium-restricted RXRalpha mutation does not perturb heart morphogenesis. Here, we analyze a series of tissue-restricted mutations of the RXRalpha gene in the cardiac neural crest, endothelial, and epicardial lineages, and we show that RXRalpha signaling in the epicardium is required for proper cardiac morphogenesis. Moreover, we detect an additional phenotype of defective coronary arteriogenesis associated with RXRalpha deficiency and identify a retinoid-dependent Wnt signaling pathway that cooperates in epicardial epithelial-to-mesenchymal transformation.

CDC Study: One Third of Americans Are Obese
Tuesday, August 14, 2012 - 7:14am
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta released new research on obesity in America.
The report found that, overall, a third of American adults are obese.
The finding is disappointing after decades of efforts to get Americans to lose weight. Healthcare costs for the obese are running at $150-billion a year, and run the risk of bankrupting the system.
The problem is brought on by the usual suspects: increased caloric intake and decreased activity.

Blonder Tongue Wins Appeal in Ktech Patent Litigation
Earlier District Court Ruling Upheld, Holding Three Ktech Patents Invalid
OLD BRIDGE, N.J. — April 21, 2014 — Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE MKT:BDR) and its affiliate, R. L. Drake Holdings, LLC (collectively, the "Company") announced today that the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the favorable U.S. District Court ruling rendered in September 2013 in the patent infringement lawsuit initiated by Ktech Telecommunications, Inc. The Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court ruling that three of Ktech's patents relating to systems and methods for updating the channel information contained in digital television signals, U.S. Patent Nos. 6,785,903, 7,481,533 and 7,761,893, were invalid because they were rendered obvious by prior art.
"We're pleased that the favorable ruling reached by the District Court has been affirmed and we can put this matter behind us," said Robert J. Pallé, Jr., president of Blonder Tongue. "Blonder Tongue takes great pride in utilizing industry standards with appropriate licensing structures, and this verdict further fortifies our strategy, not only for us but also for the broader technical community."
"The cable television community, including Blonder Tongue, has a rich history of innovation," continued Pallé, "I'd personally like to thank those who helped exhibit the prior art that existed 15 years ago as digital video standards were emerging. We'd also like to thank our patent attorney and litigator, John McNett, for his tenacity and unwavering determination. We look forward to continuing to develop solutions for our customers and marketing our products throughout the world."

When did the intervention begin?

Childbirth can be an extremely challenging and painful process, but for the women of Ngäbe not having a hospital nearby made childbirth even more difficult and dangerous. The community of Ngäbe lives very far from the closest hospital and often do not succeed in arriving or are forced to wait in the outskirts for hours and days at time without receiving timely medical treatment. The Ministry of Health along with the Fundacion Nuestra Señora Del Camino initiated a project to construct a shelter so that the pregnant women of the community could be lodged to receive early care in health care facilities by qualified personnel, giving them time to arrive at the hospital. The environment of the shelters is centered on quality treatment and active participation of the man in supporting the woman. Since the projects initiation, 100% of the women of the Ngäbe community have used the services (1088 pregnant women) and have had a positive response to the quality of care. Furthermore, 87% of the pregnant women who have gone through the shelter have passed on the knowledge they attained from the services as well as spreading the word about the shelter to other families.

The Pearsons of Witherslack, WestmorlandUpdated June 24, 2003 |
Edit Your Page |
I have been researching the Pearson family who lived for more than five hundred years at Pool Bank (or Powebanke) in the village of Witherslack in Westmorland. I have a great deal of original documentation and transcripts from documents in the National Archive stored in Kendal. The Pearsons were among the original Quakers and were effected by the ups and downs of the agrarian and industrial revolutions. I am a direct descendent of the family. |

"Does what is says if you read the directions first"
FREE!! IF you read the directions first, and take the 5 minutes to get familiar with the control screens, it does what is says it will do -- on both Mac OS X and Windows 7. I cleaned out more than 450MB worth of junk (each) on three separate machines; the oldest a 4.75 yr old Mac Book Pro. Even my three week old Mac Book Pro was faster after I did all the initial set up and data transfers.
Now I run the program every day on my laptop before shutting down for the night; and on my wife's at least once a week.Cons
The directions are not the best, and I almost deleted some items that were program required. BEFORE you delete anything the first time, scroll through all the file names.
Better to have to do it a few times than have to re-install a needed program.Summary
Worth the time and did I mention, it's FREE!!!

Senate plans gun debate for this week
by WILY/WRXX News Staff • April 9, 2013 • News
The gun debate is supposed to take place this week in the U.S. Senate.
U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) says he isn't even sure the debate on gun legislation will happen. "It's going to be tough. First to move to the bill we need 60 votes, which requires Republicans to join us even to bring the bill to the floor," he said.
If it does reach the floor, Durbin is interested in harsher penalties for straw purchasers and gun traffickers, and more reporting of mental instability.
"The hottest issues will be universal background checks, which I support and the NRA opposes, as well as the assault weapons ban, which I also support, and is also probably the longest odds in terms of passing," he said.
The U.S. House has said it will wait to see what the Senate passes on guns before it considers legislation.

Introduction to metadata harvesting
What is harvesting and how does it work?
Harvesting is an automated, regular process of collecting metadata descriptions from different sources to create useful aggregations of metadata and related services. The harvesting process is controlled by Data Source Administrators.
ANDS prefers to use the OAI-PMH harvest protocol for harvesting RIF-CS documents. In some cases formats other than RIF-CS may be supported by arrangement.
OAI-PMH enables automated, regular harvesting, and is included in major repository software products. If you do not already have OAI-PMH capability as part of a repository solution, there are free OAI-PMH tools and development libraries available online. ANDS also supports metadata exchange using direct HTTP, and deleting of records as part of the harvest (OAI-PMH delete).

Rob Glisson, AIA, NCARB, principal of Tampa, Fla.-based rojo Architecture, who also participated in BIMStorm, spent about $1,300 on a VectorWorks package several years ago for his 13-member firm. Although he uses it for basic checks such as mechanical conflicts and interior lighting studies, he says manufacturers, consultants, and contractors have a lot of catching up to do before BIM becomes an industry standard.
"BIMStorm was a mountain to create," he says. "You can see it, touch it, make it happen, but it's a lot of extra work, and there's not as much material to incorporate as you'd think listening to the marketing machine that goes on behind it. The sooner manufacturers provide 3-D models and attach information to them, the sooner we'll be able to do the modeling.
"Our position has always been that we don't want to be on the cutting edge of technology, because it's so expensive," he continues. "When the market decides which way it will go, we'll follow closely." That sentiment seems to be shared by the roughly 200 respondents to a recent "AIA Work-on-the-Boards Survey." Only 19 percent of firms with a residential specialty reported using BIM on billable projects, and 44 percent had no plans to acquire the software. Still, nearly half expect BIM to become an industry standard in the next three years.
Smith, who helped write the first national CAD standard, now in its fourth edition, was recently involved in publishing the first national BIM standard for software makers and building material manufacturers that will allow everyone to communicate in a common language and data model. NIBS completed phase one last December, and by June it expects to publish a Specifier Product Set outlining the basic pieces of information and terminology needed to compare building products. The organization is also working to ensure that the files are Industry Foundation Class (IFC)-based for seamless exchange among manufacturers, consultants, and construction and facilities managers.
"BIMStorm proved that much of the work could be done through IFC data models," Smith says. "It's not the technology or just vendor training that's holding us back at this point, it's education. Everyone is teaching BIM, but there's no coordination. I'm working with colleges now trying to put together compendiums that teach the concepts behind it, why they're doing it, and what the overall potential is."
For residential firms testing the waters, the struggle—reminiscent of CAD—is getting staff up to speed. Often the choice is between hiring BIM-ready recent graduates with limited knowledge about how buildings go together and hiring experienced architects who will have to learn the technology. David Hertz Architects–Studio of Environmental Architecture in Santa Monica, Calif., specializes in climate-responsive residential and commercial buildings. According to principal David Hertz, FAIA, LEED AP, all 10 of the firm's employees are trained in building information modeling. "I've tended to look for people who have building experience, and BIM becomes part of their education. While we've been successful, it's a more painful investment" than hiring from the young, tech-savvy set, he says. The fact that most of its consultants work only in the 2-D world doesn't stop the firm from using 3-D as a design tool. Early models are uploaded to Green Building Studio, a Web-based company providing energy and carbon analysis; others might be sent to contractors to help them understand a building condition.
In Kansas City, Mo., BNIM Architects is also embracing BIM. It purchased the software seven years ago and since 2005 has been modeling 85 percent of its projects (including condos and single-family homes)—all but those in which it partners with larger firms who aren't using BIM. Early tracking showed that it took a team fully trained in AutoCAD the same amount of time to produce design and construction drawings as beginners using Revit. "Once a team has Revit under its belt, the return on investment is fairly apparent," says associate Eddy Krygiel, AIA, LEED AP. Most of the time savings occurs in the documentation phase, when construction drawings and schedules are spun off from a fully resolved model. "It's changed how we do design," Krygiel explains. "We'll spend more time on schematics, working out spaces and connections. Historically we'd still be redesigning a curtain wall or roof connection in the construction documents phase. We're able to find those issues sooner, when the design is more malleable."
As impressive as BIM's powers are, it has limits, like any technology. Kevin M. Shertz, AIA, the sole proprietor of a three-year-old firm in Chestertown, Md., says one design challenge is judging when to defer to the software versus doing a time-consuming workaround. That's true not only on details but in choosing products—does he pop in the software's default window brand or manually set up specs for another? "It's like the movie The Matrix," Shertz says. "You can bend and break some of the rules, but there are still rules. When are you willing to work with the boundaries of the software, and at what point does design integrity require you to find another way?"
That's a question more and more architects will face if, indeed, BIM is here to stay. Smith, for one, is convinced it is. "I've heard people say BIM constricts your creativity, but then I say, look at what Frank Gehry has done with it," he says. "I'm really confident we're heading in the right direction; things are improving every day."

The results of this study suggest that, under the assumption of same relative risk reduction of fractures in men as for women, strontium ranelate could be considered a cost-effective strategy compared with no treatment for the treatment of osteoporotic men from a Belgian healthcare payer perspective.
This study was conducted to estimate the cost-effectiveness of strontium ranelate in the treatment of osteoporotic men.
A previously validated Markov microsimulation model was adapted to estimate the cost (€2,010) per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained of strontium ranelate compared with no treatment. Similar efficacy data on lumbar spine and femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) between men with osteoporosis at high risk of fracture (MALEO Trial) and postmenopausal osteoporotic women (pivotal SOTI, TROPOS trials) supports the assumption, in the base-case analysis, of the same relative risk reduction of fractures in men as for women. Analyses were conducted, from a Belgian healthcare payer perspective, in the population from the MALEO Trial who is a men population with a mean age of 73 years, and BMD T-score ≤−2.5 or prevalent vertebral fracture (PVF).
In the MALEO population, strontium ranelate compared with no treatment was estimated at €49,798 and €25,584 per QALY gained using efficacy data from the intent-to-treat analysis and the per-protocol analysis including only adherent patients, respectively. In men with a BMD T-score ≤−2.5 or with PVF, the cost per QALY gained of strontium ranelate fall below thresholds of €45,000 and €25,000 per QALY gained based on efficacy data from the entire population of the clinical trial and from the per-protocol analyses, respectively.
The results of this study suggest that, under the assumption of same relative risk reduction of fractures in men as for women, strontium ranelate could be considered cost-effective compared with no treatment for male osteoporosis.

Mentor Graphics is sponsoring an automotive user conference from 8am to 5pm on Wednesday, September 10, at the Adoba Hotel in Dearborn, Michigan. User2User Automotive 2014 is free, and you can register or get more details here.
The day begins with back-to-back keynotes by Martin O'Brien, Mentor Graphics General Manager, IESD, and Paul Menig, CEO, Tech-I-M.
Martin's topic is "The Death of 'Island' Mentalities." He'll explain how technology is enabling new levels of connected engineering and explain in some detail where solutions are headed next.
Winning the Race
Prior to starting Tech-I-M, Paul Menig led the Mechatronics Group at Daimler Trucks North America. He'll speak on "Connecting the DOT's Future — Department of Transportation." Autonomous driving, drones, electrically powered transportation from skateboards to buses, alternatively fueled engines, and wearable computers are here today in low volumes, but will be mainstream in 10 years. Paul Menig says the future of public and private mobility will depend on faster advanced development that is more complex, yet ultra-reliable, and those that win the race will make use of every development tool possible.
Following the keynotes U2U attendees can hear talks and participate in discussions in five separate tracks with four presentations in each. The tracks are Embedded Software, PCB Flow, Model-Based System Design, Electrical Systems & Harness Engineering, and Thermal Design & Component Reliability.
Participating speakers represent Arynga, Delphi, Visteon, Rockwell Automation, Chrysler, IBM Rational, John Deere, Navistar, PACCAR, and Flextronics, in addition to Mentor Graphics. U2U Automotive is an opportunity to network with technology users, developers, and industry experts.
The pace of automotive electronics technology development is relentless. Mentor Graphics' U2U Automotive conference promises to provide engineers with up-to-date information on the latest technology, and best practices. I hope to see you there.

LIVINGSTON – A Holden man was arrested after police said he sent a 13-year-old girl sexual messages from his cell phone and computer.
Police arrested 44-year-old Franklin Church Monday night in suspicion of computer aided solicitation of a minor.
Chief Randy Dufrene said Church had parked at the Livingston Ballfield near the victim's home and sent the messages over a cell phone and laptop computer. When officers confronted Church, Dufrene said he struggled with them briefly before he was taken into custody.
Dufrene said Church also knew the victim because she had been a friend of Church's son.
Church was booked into the Livingston Parish jail and given a $10,000 bond.

I'll make a real journal tomorrow, but it's 1:30 and I just HAD to write this when the first line came surgin' through my brain. I'm not epic at poetry, but here it is. O_o.
Where did it go?
Where did we go?
Down that path of no return...
You promised we'd make it back.
You said it'd be the same.
So why am I regretting it all?
Why am I looking back and thinking of you?
It's all that occupies my brain...
Your face,
Your eyes,
The way your lips felt against mine...
We can't go back to what we had before.
When you were my best friend.
And we could talk about anything, and everything.
You'd wipe away my tears.
You could make me laugh when I was at my worst.
It's nothing now.
Meaningless words, scarred into my heart, my life.
Why are you crying?
Isn't this what you wanted?
Didn't you realize what you'd lose?
You lost the late phonecalls, for hours.
You lost the romance, the passion.
You lost me.
Hahaha i just really wanted to say that from a writers p.o.v, i'm completely jealous and just like in love with this poem. it's so raw, I'm really happy that you lost your writers block because this was fantastic

2012 Custom1 enterprises Cuddeback Ambush/Attack camera bracket review
Last year we did the review on the Cuddeback Attack camera and the supplied mounting bracket was worthless. You would have to wrap it up in a dollar just to say that you had thrown something of value away. This year we did the Ambush review and their supplied bracket was better but not by much, it broke first time out. If you read the review you can see where I crudely manufactured a couple of brackets that worked much better. One of which was in conjunction with a Custom 1 mini angle bracket.
These folks have taken it a step further and made what most anyone would call a first class bracket for both cameras. My tests showed they work very well. It will take more than the tug on the strap to begin to break one of these. The need for good proper aim on the Cuddeback cameras is absolutely critical. Their sensing zone is so narrow and short that being able to adjust the camera to the desired zone is mandatory. The next step is to get the target animals to enter that zone. This bracket should put your aim exactly where you need it.
They also included a couple of their adjustable camouflaged straps that have a buckle that only takes a push on the paddle to set and release. These straps are rated by us as being about ten times better than the ones that come in the box with a new camera. They would be an asset to any brand name camera.
If you happen to be a Cuddeback fan, you should have these in your inventory.

Things seem dire for Little Gilbert, but this new clip from the Feb. 21 episode gives us a glimmer of hope. Watch!
Vampire Diaries fans screamed/tweeted in horror Feb. 14 when Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) was presumably killed at the hands of Silas, and in this just-released preview clip from next week's episode, Bonnie (Kat Graham) gets to have her own meltdown over the news. And the worst part? She has to hear it from Shane (David Alpay!)
After spewing some nonsense about an herb, Professor Eyebrows cuts the crap and breaks the news to her.
Bonnie Finds Out About Jeremy's Death
Bonnie: How are you healed?
Shane: It was Silas, he helped me! You did it, Bonnie, he's risen!
Bonnie: Get away from me.
Shane: I know you're angry with me, OK? But now you'll see: everything I did, all those lives lost, they weren't in vain. Silas is going to bring them back.
Bonnie: What you want to do isn't natural, Shane. You can't bring back the dead.
Shane: I think you'll change your mind now.
Bonnie: What do you mean 'now'?
Shane: When Silas awoke, he had to feed to gain his strength. He'd been desiccating for almost 2,000 years. He needed blood. Jeremy was there.
Bonnie: What are you saying? What are you saying to me?!
Shane: He drained him of his blood, Bonnie. Jeremy's dead.
Will Bonnie Bring Jeremy Back From The Dead?

If anyone bring Kol back; though I look forward to seeing Elijah in the coming episodes and how he reacts to Kol's death and what he will do to Elena now; especially if Jeremy is dead he'll have to take his anger out on Elena. Maybe they can stake her for a while and we can have some Rebekah/Stefan time; and Katherine time. And now that Klaus is out from Bonnie's spell hopefully he will unleash his anger on them too.
