• Speaking of Whitechapel, series 3 of ITV1's spooky drama about the East End cops tracking down ghosts of the criminal past comes out on DVD on 12 March. Having explored the Jack the Ripper and Kray myths, the team including Rupert Penry-Jones, Steve Pemberton and Phil Davis have just finished skulking around in the shadows reliving legendary crimes such as the Thames Torso Murders and the Ratcliffe Highway Murders. 'We're basing this on stuff that really did happen,' says Pemberton in The Psychology of Fear, one of the two short documentaries that make up the extras here. 'So that's unsettling.' The second doc is Whitechapel – The Past Uncovered, which gleefully looks at the horrible crimes that 'inspired' these 'gothic thrillers', as producer David Boulter calls them. This has been a bizarre series, but there's no doubting it oozed a creepy atmosphere.
• Great news for Justified devotees. Series 3 is yet to hit the UK but is doing well enough in the States for FX to announce it will make another 13-part season and fourth outing for Timothy Olyphant as the Stetson-wearing, gun-toting deputy US marshal. 'Justified is one of television's best series and this season has reinforced that excellence,' FX's EVP of original programming Nick Grad said.
• There is a new Inspector Singh novel coming out concerning A Curious Indian Cadaver. This is the latest in the series written by Shamini Flint, who was born in Malaysia and studied law at the University of Kent. Her novels about the portly, dishevelled and wheezing Singh have sold 500,000 copies and are compared to McCall Smith's Precious Ramotswe, while also boasting clever, taut plots. In the latest adventure, Singh grudgingly agrees to attend a family wedding in Mumbai, when the bride disappears. Can it be long before the TV execs come calling on Shamini?

As a boater, donor of humanitarian aid, embargo buster, and alleged smuggler, Sperandio represents a new breed of traveler that befuddles Cuban authorities. On the one hand Cubans reflexively encourage anti-embargo behavior; on the other, they are learning that some visitors are as apt to ignore Cuban regulations as they are to flout American law.
Cuban officials at Marina Hemingway acknowledge that during the past year and a half, sailboats from Key West have brought not only tourists and businessmen, but also a handful of profit-minded vagabonds. "The first group to arrive were adventurers in the romantic sense," recalls Escrich, the yacht club commodore. "But later there came people who were interested in making money, people who had no money in the United States or Canada but who thought that they could make a couple of thousand dollars doing some kind of business with Cuba."
The businesses ranged from transporting packages for Cuban families to illegally importing bicycles, bicycle parts, and motorcycles, and worst of all from the Cuban point of view, picking up Cubans who hoped to escape the island and carrying them to Florida for a steep fee.
Cuban gunboats attacked anyone suspected of smuggling people, but the response to merchandise smuggling has been more ambiguous. Escrich says no property has been seized, though he admits that about a half-dozen boaters have caused problems as a result of their smuggling activities. In an attempt to cut down on smuggling throughout the country, customs regulations were tightened four months ago. It is now more difficult to bring goods into Cuba, and, theoretically, to take them out.
Not surprisingly, Cubans are less concerned about tourists leaving the country than about those entering it. Check-out formalities at Marina Hemingway, however, are just as time-consuming as check-in procedures.
Before departing the marina, the Irate Parrot pulls up to the customs house to complete the final paperwork and retrieve Shaw's guns. The same parade of officials that greeted the boat appears again. They are there to fill out forms and to urge boaters to come back, though not empty-handed.
"It would be okay if you happened to be in a clothing store and you saw a nice blouse for my wife," one official says to Shaw. Another gives him permission to bring back brake pads for his bicycle. A third says he would be more than happy to accept a donation of spark plugs. None of the officials appears to be soliciting a bribe; most of the items they ask for cost only a dollar or two in the United States.
The most unexpected request comes from a young Customs officer who confesses that he is suffering from diarrhea. Shaw listens to him sympathetically and then remarks with a glint in his eye: "I have just the thing for you." He returns with a roll of tape and a cork.
"�Como jodas!" the officer laughs.
Pleased with his joke, Shaw hands over some medication. After thanking him, the officer becomes serious. "I have to tell you something very important," he says gravely. "You're smiling now, but when I finish telling you, your face will change."
Not sure if the officer is kidding, Shaw hesitates, his expression hovering in an uncertain grin.
"They say that when you leave the marina and say you are going to Key West, you actually go down the coast and catch lobster and shrimp. I don't care," the officer shrugs uneasily. "But my boss, he cares. You can do with my information what you want."
"Thanks a lot, man," Shaw pats him on the back. "It's okay." In fact, Shaw and Peggy usually end these trips with a visit to Cayo Paraiso, and if it hadn't been raining, they would have headed in that direction this morning. They don't usually inform Cuban authorities of their plans because they would be required to return to Marina Hemingway and repeat the check-out procedures before embarking for Key West.
The sub rosa warning issued, the Irate Parrot is allowed to depart. She speeds away in a brisk wind. Shaw has a few Budweisers. The aborted fishing trip, combined with the prospect of returning to the U.S., has put him in a foul mood. He yells at Peggy to turn off the radio, and snaps at her when she fails to respond concisely to a question. "I said, 'Are you cooking dinner?' Answer the question. Yes or no!"
Hoping to lighten the atmosphere, Peggy proposes that they try some target shooting, and Jeffrey donates a handful of condoms. He blows them up like balloons and releases them from the top of the mast while Shaw and Peggy take aim with the shotgun.
When they tire of the sport, Jeffrey offers to take the helm. Late in the afternoon, Shaw falls asleep. Peggy and Jeffrey take turns steering, and by 3:00 a.m. they spot the lights of Key West.
Shaw wakes up, finds a country music station on the radio, cranks it up loud, and takes the wheel. He is only about two hours away from the Key West Bight Marina, but the Budweisers have taken their toll. The boat strays drunkenly off course, and for the next four hours the Irate Parrot zigzags her way among coral reefs and steel buoys, the passage illuminated only by a jumpy, hand-held spotlight.

If you weren't working in Radio, what would be your Dream job?
A cowgirl in the sand...
What's your favorite thing about the South Bay?
If we must drive on the freeway, we should feel pretty lucky to have one as pretty as Highway 280, especially between Los Altos and San Bruno, going by Crystal Springs Reservoir. That whole stretch is really more like a scenic corridor. It has to be one of the prettiest freeways anywhere...
What is the last thing you spent over $100 on?
Shoes...for my horse.
What's your favorite holiday?
Well, let's see...I like Thanksgiving a lot, but Christmas is pretty good, too! Oh, how about the Fourth of July! I love a good fireworks show!
Tell us a random fact about yourself:
I sometimes pick up the guitar and perform in-house concerts for my biggest fans...my three dogs. One of these rare concerts was successfully captured for this website picture. As you can see from the photo, my fans think I'm great, and Jake loves to sing along! Their enthusiasm for my concerts has nothing to do with the dog biscuits that are behind me on the chair.
What is the most embarrassing part of your music collection?
Bread, "Baby, I'm a Want You." I swear, that is not my record. I don't know how it got in there. Also, can you say cassettes?
What is your secret guaranteed weeping movie?
You're asking someone who cries during television commercials to pick just one? Well, when I watched "Along Came Polly," I laughed so hard I cried. Does that count? How about the In-Laws? Okay, three movies that really do make me weep are "Romancing the Stone," (at the end), "The Sound of Music," although I'm not really sure why, and finally, Black Beauty, which really turns me into a sobbing mess. If you love horses, good luck trying to watch that one without crying. At least it has a happy ending, which is good for a few more tears.
Do you have a completely irrational fear?
Spiders, or is it irrational? I don't think so. My only exception is a new species of trapdoor spider which is extremely rare, named the Neil Youngi spider. The scientist who discovered this spider named it after his favorite musician ~ Neil Young. I keep one of these at home as a pet.
What's one thing you wish you could do but can't?
I would love to be a pilot. I'd get a float plane, and fly to Tahoe for a water landing!
What do you cook best?
My Ghirardelli chocolate brownies are the best brownies you'll ever taste.

Good Morning! Happy Wednesday! This is going to be a short week for me. That can be good or a bad thing because I am so busy. Tomorrow I have off from work because I am taking Melissa for a procedure to be done. Then on Friday, I am working a half day because Mike and I getting engagement pictures taken. You might be thinking, what? You already had them taken. Well we did. Mike and I were not 100% happy with how the pictures turned out. It wasn't an example of what our relationship is. The pictures were very formal looking and that is not us as a couple. Don't get me wrong, I do really like some of them and I am using them for our guest book but I have nothing for our Save the Dates.
When we met with our wedding photographer, we expressed our concerns because he asked us about engagement pictures. We told him how he felt and he offered to take engagement pictures for us. I thought that was really nice of him plus it gives us a chance to work with him before our wedding since he will be shooting the entire day. His work is phenomenal and I cannot wait to work with him. This time, I am doing my own hair and makeup. I am doing my own nails and I am not getting dressed up. I felt uncomfortable during the shoot the other time and I want to be as relaxed and comfortable as I can be. I want these pictures to be an accurate portrayal of our relationship since these are what will be going on the Save the Dates. No pressure! Hah. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that these pictures go well.
So yesterday after work, I went over to Melissa and my mom's house. We hung out for a while and then Melissa and I went over to the mall. I ended up getting two plain but cute long sleeve shirts from Wet Seal for $12 total! Not a bad deal if you ask me. Melissa ended up getting a few things from Bath and Body Works and she got me a pumpkin hand sanitizer to keep in my purse! I love it. :) After the mall, we ventured over to Walmart. You will not believe what we found there!
I couldn't believe that the Pepperidge Farms Pumpkin Swirl bread was actually there! I cannot wait for breakfast this weekend! I'm planning on making pumpkin french toast for sure! I also stocked up on the Thomas Pumpkin Spice Bagels that I raved about the other day. Get this, when I bought them at Shoprite I spent $5 on one pack of bagels. At Walmart, I ended up buying two packs for $5! ShopRite was a rip off! I am stocked with pumpkin bagels for a while. They are sitting comfy in my freezer. Yay!
I also spotted this new product at Walmart from Quaker.
I brought this with me as a snack for lunch today. So I will have to report back how it tastes. It looks good!
Moving on. Let's get to the weekly Wednesday feature, Wedding Talk Wednesday! Today's topic is Men's Wedding Fashion. Typically no one really talks about the men's fashion for the wedding. So that is why I am going to talk a little bit about it today.
For our wedding, we are planning on having the men in the bridal party as well as the fathers and grandfather (Mike's grandpop, as mine are no longer living) wear tuxes. We are planning on renting these from Men's Wearhouse. It is not a necessity that in all weddings for men to wear tuxedos but typically the bridal party and the groom wear a tux. Mike has made it extremely clear that he does not want to wear purple. That is perfectly fine by me. It's his day as well and I want him to feel comfortable. Plus, I think it would look better if he wore something else to distinguish himself as the groom.
Men's Wearhouse offers a ton of special offers all the time. So keep your eyes peeled for them. Also, if you have purchased anything from David's Bridal, they give you a rewards book filled with coupons that you can use at the Men's Wearhouse because they are partners which is great! They also offer with 5 paid rentals, the groom's tux is free! That is a great deal. Also they take $30 off each tux rental.
I have heard that you don't need to start shopping for tuxes until 2 months before the wedding. I'm not exactly positive on that estimated time frame but I'm sure it's pretty close. I will be calling the store to confirm. The good thing about MW's website is that you can find the styles you like and print them out and bring it to the store with you and they will accommodate what you are looking for. When they take the groom's measurements, they will need a $40 fully refundable deposit to set up the wedding party. You pick up the tux 2 days before the wedding and try it on while you are at the store in case of any last-minute alterations need to be done.
I'm not positive on the look of the tux that I would like everyone to wear. I was thinking since the bridesmaids will be wearing plum, I would like for the groomsman to be wearing either a plum tie and vest or just a plum tie. I haven't decided yet. This is an example of a plum set that I saw on their website.
I also like the idea of silver too. I'm so confused. I like how some of these tux vest colors look in the picture
I could also do something like this:
However instead of Mike in silver maybe put in him in all black or put him in silver, whichever he prefers. I think that is a nice look. All of the groomsman will be wearing an ivory shirt because my dress is ivory. If they wear white, against my dress, it will look dirty. I definitely want the groomsman in black tuxes also. I think that looks polished for the type of wedding style that I am going for. I don't like a bow tie either. I like how ties look better.
Here is another example where the groomsman match and the groom is wearing a different color to distinguish himself.
I also had the idea where the groomsman could wear the plum vests and tie and the fathers/grandfathers wear silver. Then Mike wears just an all black vest and tie. I don't think it would mismatched because the fathers/grandfathers won't be standing up with the bridal party during the ceremony. I don't know. ;)
What is your opinion? What do you think I should do? Do you have any ideas of how you would dress your groom and the groomsman? Or if you are married, what did you do?
Alright enough wedding talk for one day. There is work to be done. Have a happy Wednesday! :)
Oh! One last thing, I have added the recipe for the kugel (noodle pudding) that Melissa made for our family dinner to the family dinner post. Definitely check it out if you are interested in trying this recipe. It's delicious!

Parish by Parish: Monday, October 8
POSTED: Monday, October 8, 2012 - 9:00pm
UPDATED: Monday, October 8, 2012 - 9:04pm
Baton Rouge (NBC 33) — In Iberville Parish, FEMA is going door to door checking on residents after Hurricane Isaac. It is part of the agency's goal to make sure everyone is getting the help they need after the storm. FEMA agents say they spent Monday in rural parts of the parish. They'll head into Plaquemine on Tuesday. The recovery center is still open in Plaquemine. It's located at 59805 Bayou Road. That's the utility department for the city. The hours are from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day except Sunday.
In Lafayette Parish, the hospital is expanding. Lafayette General Medical Center is growing in Acadiana. Monday's groundbreaking kicked off the expansion of the Emergency and Surgery Departments. It's a 52 and half million dollar project.
The expansion includes a six story parking area that will be built between Lafayette General and The Heymann Center.
In Rapides Parish, amateur archaeologists are working for the U.S Forest Service to dig up an ancient Indian site in Pineville. Participants from all over the country are excavating a Caddo Indian site that has traces of human activity from up to 4000 years ago. The amateur archaeologists are finding mostly pieces of pottery and traces of housing from when this was a working salt lick about 1500 years ago. This evidence will help put the island on the National Register of Historic Sites. Everything collected this week is bagged, labeled and taken to the U.S Forest Service's labs for archaeological testing.
In St. James Parish, the Great American Pumpkin Patch is open now outside Convent.
The spot is a chance for families to come together and pick the best pumpkins for Halloween. It's open every day now through Halloween. All of the proceeds are donated to charity.

The Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES) works with land-grant university partners and others to advance knowledge for agriculture, the environment, human health and well-being, and communities through national program leadership and Federal assistance. Among the Agency's goals is to support increased economic opportunities and quality of life in rural areas. Family economics aligns with this goal by focusing on how individuals and families obtain and use resources such as money, time, human capital, material resources, and community services; by exploring the relationship between individuals and families and the larger economy; and by studying the impact of public issues, policies, and programs on family economic well-being.

Valuing the Implementation of Financial Literacy Education
What is the monetary value of financial education? What will individuals pay? The contingent valuation method was used to estimate the value of financial education in Texas public schools. A Web-based survey was administered to 279 Texas Parent Teacher Association members. Respondents reported being willing to pay additional property taxes for implementation of financial literacy education. Additional gambling venues and state sales tax proved to be acceptable revenue sources for added educational funding, whereas a state income tax proved to be the least preferred revenue source. This article, and others, is available in the most recent issue of the Journal of the Association for Financial Counseling and Planning Education.
Is Ignorance Bliss? Consumer Accuracy in Judgments about Credit Ratings
A new study by the American Council on Consumer Interests, which examined consumers' self-assessments of their credit rating, appears in the Summer 2008 issue of the Journal of Consumer Affairs. Respondents were more likely to believe they had average or above average credit. Those who overestimated their credit quality were less likely to budget, save, and invest regularly. Data came from the Freddie Mac Consumer Credit Survey, which reports on the attitudes, behaviors, knowledge, and experiences with credit and financial management of about 23,000 people. Results indicate that about 32 percent of respondents overestimated their credit ratings, while only 4 percent underestimated their credit ratings. The findings support previous studies in judgment and decisionmaking that show that individuals are more likely to be overconfident about their knowledge or abilities. Those who overestimated their credit ratings had lower incomes, less formal education, and were less likely to own their homes. They were also more likely to be African-American, Hispanic, or female. One possible explanation for these results is that minority consumers in general have less experience with financial markets, which in turn affects their tendency to overestimate their credit rating.

Ask The Ripped Dude: How Can I Improve My Abs Without Hundreds Of Crunches?
I'm tired of constantly working my abs on the floor: crunches, sit-ups, and planks. Do I need to do isolation movements or is my regular workout enough to build a strong core?
Strength and muscle development is important, but nothing says, "Yeah, I'm fit" quite like a six-pack. Ripped abs come from a perfect diet and tough training. Contrary to popular belief, though, you don't need to a million crunches to coax them from hiding.
If you lift several days each week, use free weights, cables, and get on machines, you are building your core. You may not be doing direct ab work, but many exercises found in even the most basic training regimen stimulate your abdominal muscles. Here are some examples:
EXERCISE 1 Front Squats
Your core is engaged no matter which version of squats you do, but holding the weight at the front of your body challenges the anterior core more than a back squat does. In order to do the movement safely and successfully, you have to engage your core.
Without strong abs, the weight will bend you right over and win. Moreover, most of us are better at front squats anyway, because we train and use our anterior core much more than our posterior core. If you do add front squats to your regimen, you'll probably find it an easier movement than the back squat.
EXERCISE 2 Triceps Push-downs
If you don't feel your abs tighten when you do these, you're probably doing them incorrectly. If you didn't engage your core, you would just push the bar or pull the rope down by bending at the waist rather than using your triceps.
Using your core to keep an upright position is called anti-flexion—your body uses it much more than you'd think. The isolation and activation of your triceps during this movement is directly related to your core's ability to keep you from bending forward.
EXERCISE 3 Mountain Climbers
Most of us use mountain climbers as a cardio movement. Although it's great for getting your heart rate up, it's also a good core exercise. Because it starts in a plank position, your core is automatically engaged in anti-extension, which means it keeps your back from hyperextending. It's doubly difficult because you also have to flex your abs to bring your knee toward your chest.
EXERCISE 4 Dumbbell Row
These lifts are probably a staple on your back day. But, even if you don't realize it, they also work your core. To keep your body stable and upright, your abs work their anti-flexion skills. And, because you're loaded on one side, your core also tries to keep you from falling that way. This is called anti-rotation. To hit your lats correctly, your abs have to also do a lot of work.
EXERCISE 5 Sprints
Not only are sprints great for fat-burn, they're an abdominal killer. Most isolation movements focus on just the six-pack muscles, but sprints hit the whole core. While you're sprinting, your abs have to constantly produce force to keep your body upright and your trunk stabilized.
If you do multiple sets of sprints, your abs will spend a lot of time under tension working as hard as they can.
A Time to Isolate
Abs seekers usually try to spot treat their spare tire by working their abs several times per week doing crunches, sit-ups, abs machines—you name it. If you're already hitting your abs during your routine, is it really necessary to spend an extra 20 minutes fluttering your feet or repping out 100 crunches? Not really.
There's no way to actually spot-treat, and the core strength and stability required to complete moves like a squat will tax the abs and help develop the washboard look you are after. If you'd take the time you'd normally spend doing ab isolation exercises on meal preparation, you'd be better off. After all, no matter how much you work your core, you'll never see a six-pack unless your body fat is relatively low.
If you really don't want to give up your ab routine, you don't have to. But you don't need to spend all day on it. Choose a few effective movements and focus on quality over quantity.

Jump rope, hula hoop, rack pulls, and the list goes on and on. I make my clients do all of those and more instead of just back-breaking isolation exercises on the floor. Another good article Obi... keep spreading important information.

The triceps pushdown description doesn't make any sense. How is this movement an anti-flexion movement for the trunk? The role of the trunk would be anti-extension as the force vector is pulling up vertically in the pulley system whereas in a deadlift the force vector pulls down vertically requiring anti-flexion to maintain a rigid torso. I think this may need some revision.

Muscles can't extend. They can only flex/pull. The wording is fine. I think the author is mainly saying that the abdominals are stabilizing the torso throughout the movement.

I agree with you that the core as a whole is stabilizing the torso throughout the movement, but the article wording is still incorrect. If my trunk is flexed, my trunk extensors can contract, thereby extending my trunk. So although my glutes, hamstrings, adductors etc. flexed/pulled, my trunk extended. The muscles of my trunk that were flexed are now extended relative to their original position. So muscle extension according to a positional analysis is relative. The role of the trunk in a triceps pushdown pictured above, if it is to remain stabilized, is to resist extension that is being caused by the force pulling vertically upwards. Therefore, the muscles of the core would be providing an anti-extension stimulus to the trunk, not anti-flexion which was stated by the author. If this was a semantics issue I wouldn't have posted, but I feel this portion should be addressed and revised appropriately. However, thanks for taking the time to respond and providing your input!

You can do all the lifts possible in the world but if your diet doesn't match your task, "your wasting time" and most likely damaging more than building

There was a part of the article that I added in here that was unfortunately left out and what it was is that your body-fat levels have to be low enough to see your abs. For a guy your bf% has to be 12 percent and under and for a female your bf% has to be 14 percent and under. 80 percent of being lean enough to see your abs is your diet and these exercises mean nothing if your diet isn't right. When doing triceps exercises you can easily feel your abs engaging when going through the motion of that exercise so indirectly it does work your abs. Also Lat Pull downs works your abs indirectly too which is another exercise that was edited out of this article that I wrote. I truly apologize that the diet portion info and bf% levels was edited out as it was was written in the original article. I hope this extra information make sense to all of you. I am glad everybody enjoyed the article!

it seem the more I work my core I still don't see the improvements in my abs. you see I'm a big guy that power lifted in my younger years, and eat so that I can move a lot of weight. Now after suffering a back injury I got serious about bodybuilding and transforming my body to release the strain and pain in my back. So I got away from a lot of compound movements. So I don't do front squats and haven't done any sprits yet!!!

Brazil's Rousseff Seeks Political Plebiscite After Unrest
June 25 (Bloomberg) -- President Dilma Rousseff, seeking to meet the demands raised by Brazil's biggest protests in two decades, called for a plebiscite to bring about political changes aimed at wringing endemic corruption out of Brazil's institutions.
Rousseff, at a meeting with governors and mayors in Brasilia yesterday, said she would classify corruption as one of the country's most serious crimes. She also pledged 50 billion reais ($22.5 billion) for urban transport upgrades, one hundred percent of oil royalties to education and the formation of a national public transportation council. Marches are scheduled to continue this week after protests claimed two lives yesterday and shut down several highways today, including one linking Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte.
While demonstrators first railed against an increase in bus fares, protesters have expanded their grievances, from teachers marching for better pay to gay-rights activists opposing a bill to allow medical treatment for homosexuality. Rousseff, who will meet with the chiefs of the Supreme Court, the Senate, and the national bar association today, received leaders of the Free Fare Movement yesterday before meeting with municipal authorities.
"Campaign finance will likely be tackled," Joao Augusto de Castro Neves, an analyst at political risk company Eurasia Group, said by phone from Washington. "There will be harsher punishment for corrupt politicians, and more transparency and accountability."
Rousseff, 65, said she supports organizing a plebiscite to ask voters whether they support holding a constitutional assembly to overhaul the nation's political system, which is blamed for corruption and excessive spending.
"The people are in the streets saying they want changes, they want more citizenship," Rousseff said at the start of yesterday's meeting at the presidential palace in Brasilia. "They want quality public services and more effective tools for fighting corruption."
Supreme Court Justice Marco Aurelio told CBN radio today that a constituent assembly and constitutional amendment weren't necessary, and that Congress was most appropriate to improve electoral and party rules. Existing proposals along those lines could have been approved quickly in Congress had the governing coalition backed them, Aecio Neves of the main opposition party PSDB, told state news agency Agencia Brasil.
A political overhaul was one of the five accords proposed by Rousseff, with other measures focusing on fiscal responsibility, health care, transportation and public education. Authorities agreed to accelerate 90 billion reais in transportation investments, Brazil's Cities Minister Aguinaldo Ribeiro told reporters after meeting with the president.
Still, Rousseff called on local authorities to maintain fiscal austerity after inflation this month breached the upper limit of the central bank's target range of 2.5 percent to 6.5 percent.
'Short Blanket'
"The situation is not easy," Andre Pereira Cesar, the director of business strategy and public policy company Prospectiva, said by phone. "It's a short blanket: if you pull it up, it uncovers your feet."
Two women were killed during a protest yesterday outside Brasilia, bringing the total number of demonstration deaths nationwide to four, according to the federal highway police. New protests also broke out in cities including Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre.
Rousseff's speech represented an early step in addressing public discontent, according to Eurasia Group's Castro Neves.
"There is space for the debate to grow," he said. "These protesters target the political class, and she is offering to reform the political class. It is a start."

Discovery Labs Announces Recent AFECTAIR® Publications
Safety Assessment of a Novel Neonatal Ventilator Circuit Patient Interface Connector for the Delivery of Aerosolized Medication to Mechanically Ventilated Infants –
Respiratory Therapy. February-
March 2013, Vol. 8, No. 1, Pages 29-33
As part of a safety assessment of AFECTAIR, studies were conducted to determine the dead space volume (volume of gas that remains in device, undelivered to the patient), the resistance to gas flows through AFECTAIR relative to a standard configuration, as well as the interaction between the ventilator circuit gas and the aerosol carrier gas using the two configurations. Authors concluded that, when used correctly, AFECTAIR has a comparable safety profile to standard wye connectors and aerosol delivery configurations. Authors also stated that further studies are needed to determine the impact of AFECTAIR on the delivery of aerosolized medications to mechanically ventilated infants.
Use of AFECTAIR may result in an increase in the delivery of aerosolized medication to patients receiving mechanical ventilation. When delivering aerosolized medication through AFECTAIR to patients receiving mechanical ventilation, a qualified healthcare personnel should closely monitor the response to the aerosolized medication.

Dear Experts,
I have created a REST web service through screen scrapping. In which I created recording for READ and UPDATE of transaction TZ60 and TZ90.
Now as I am using this web service for reading and posting through java script. i.e Odata.read and Odata.request respectively.
Here READ is working fine, which is giving me exact data from the database. But when I try to POST the updated data i get an error like 'ERROR Occurred HTTP Request failed'.
I refereed this doc for writing java script.
Edited by: Vishvesh Shukla on Feb 9, 2012 8:19 AM
Edited by: Vishvesh Shukla on Feb 9, 2012 8:20 AM
Hi Vishvesh,
Can you post the code you're trying to run?
Are you able to monitor the request using an HTTP sniffer and post it as well? Chrome has built-in sniffer you can use.
Looking at the Gateway/BE logs might help you as well.
Hey Guy,
Thank you so much for your reply. But now its working fine as per the document, earlier the recording was faulty due to which it was unable to update.
Please all refer to the [document|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/download/attachments/250646828/JavaScript-HowtoGuide.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1318263992587], for consuming REST service using JavaScript.
Hi Vishvesh,
Could you please let me know how you resolved the issue.
I am also developing a web app in eclipse consuming the odata and when checking the script in Firebug i gor the error as
GET http:/<server>;port/sap/opu/sdata/sap/GURU/$metadata/$metadata?$format=xml |
00:01:50 2012-04-06 The following problem occurred: HTTP request failed0,, -
Thanks and regards
Hi Gururaj,
In my case the problem was with the Screen Scrapping recording itself. So I recorded the new screen and I tried the process as per the document for using REST service. Which worked finally.
You can search for the document for creating REST service in Gateway server.
This might be your problem and yes in URL you need to pass your server ip, its port, the collection name in $metadata. After that whatever service generates, that will be your final service which can be consumed anywhere as web service.
and sorry for too late reply.

There are gross human rights violations occurring in Istanbul, Turkey. Police have fired water cannons and smoke bombs into peaceful protests against the plans to put a development in the park Gezi in Taksim.
The government must condemn the disproportionate and violent response of the government to a peaceful protest, and instigate investigations into allegations of police attacks on A&E wards treating injured protesters.

I read with interest this morning Warren St. John's piece in the New York Times about the return of Silicon Alley.
There are a handful of readers of this blog who remember @NY, the weekly bible of the original Silicon Alley gold rush and one of the early experiments in e-mail and Web publishing. I founded @NY with Tom Watson in 1995 (we sold it to Alan Meckler in 1999).
@NY was created to cover a story no one believed was for real--tech entrepreneurship in New York. Since Tom and I had both been political reporters in the city, we had a peculiar perspective on that. (Very shortly after launching @NY, Tom and I were also hired to write a column about digital culture in New York for the then nascent New York Times Website.) But @NY was also founded with an editorial mission--to deflate the hype, to perform searching analysis of the real value and innovations being created here.
That kind of analysis was welcome among some of our more serious readers--guys like uber blogger Fred Wilson. But that focus on skeptical analysis also cost us money. As opposed to some of the research operations at the time, we understood our job to be to tell people the truth, not to tell people what they wanted to here. And, as opposed to a then-fledgling print competitor, Jason Calacanis, who came along with Silicon Alley Reporter, we didn't understand out job to be cheerleading but thought-leading.
For most of the media covering the story, Silicon Alley was one for the toy department. (When the NYT on the print side finally put a reporter on the beat it was the now disgraced Jayson Blair, fresh out of the Times writing program and in way over his head). It was a story about scenes and parties and cute young things with money to burn, "gee whiz" tales about boy entrepreneurs who took their dogs to work and kept ping pong tables in their conference rooms. We did our share of that kind of publishing, running party coverage in a column called @ The Scene. We were, after all, professional publishers who understood that people like to see their names in print (even if the "print" is virtual). But first and foremost we took seriously the ideas that New York could be an important hothouse for the invention of new media technology businesses and that the boys in Silicon Valley could learn something from New York's media-centered approach to technology. We also believed that media technology start-ups could have a major financial impact on a city that hadn't had a new home grown industry since movies left in the 1920s.
That's why I was so dismayed to see St. John's piece lead not the metro section or the business section, but the Sunday Styles section, complete with a photo--composition straight from a Abercrombie ad--of twenty something entrepreneurs Adam Rich and Ben Lerer playing pool in the offices of their start up Thrillist.com. I can't remember the last time I saw a John Markoff piece in the style section about what the boys are wearing around the offices of Kleiner Perkins.
It turns out that Tom and I were right, tech entrepreneurship in New York was a big story (and IS a big story). New York, with it's media focus DOES have a different and crucially important role to play in the development of digital technology--particularly consumer facing media technology. But the mainstream media still just sees how "cool" it is. If Silicon Alley's going down that road again, well, I've got a start-up to sell you, online pizza delivery, $100 million valuation. It could happen.
Listen, despite the best wishes of the hardcore techies, the next generation of computing platforms is NOT coming out of a walk-up in the Flatiron district. But the next Clearchannel Communications--in the form of a podcast and streaming audio company--just might. Last year's most talked about tech company--Google--has effectively become a media company, making millions selling low rent direct advertising. Something IS happening here, but it's not a story for the style section.
