This approach allows our pain management physicians a full spectrum of treatment options that are truly the least invasive.
State of the Art treatments for herniated discs, spinal stenosis, pinched nerves and arthritis of the spine. It is well known that traditionally, neck and back surgery does not have the best outcomes and often results in complications including chronic back pain while requiring lengthy recovery periods. At American Spine, this not the case for our patients. Our state of the art procedures are truly "minimally or least invasive" and require no hospital stay or long recuperation time.
Over the past decade, our team of fellowship trained physicians has successfully treated tens of thousands of people who suffered from conditions such as pinched nerves and pain from herniated discs or torn discs, spinal stenosis, and arthritis of the spine. We not only use the latest techniques and instruments our physicians have been teaching their techniques to doctors from around the world for many years. Our experienced doctors, technicians, and nurses allows patients to come to our state-of-the-art surgical facilities, undergo their procedure, and return home to their normal lifestyle – all in a short period of time.
Our endoscopic specialists perform a variety of minimally invasive outpatient procedures to treat a number of degenerative spine conditions, including herniated or degenerative disc, spinal stenosis, and a number of other potentially debilitating conditions of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. Whether you're suffering from severe pain, numbness, muscle weakness, tingling, or any of the symptoms typically associated with these conditions, our outpatient procedures can help you. Our goal is for you to rediscover your life without neck and back pain.While we are known as a leading center of excellence for minimally invasive spine surgery, we spend significant amount of resources to provide conservative treatments to our patients. Our goal is to use the "least" invasive approach weather that is physical therapy and exercise to nerve blocks to get you back to enjoying your life. So if you've spent weeks, months or years trying various surgical or nonsurgical treatments, such as physical therapy, pain medication, hot/cold therapy, massage, chiropractics, or others, yet have failed to find relief, you should consider seeing one of our specialists. We would like to educate you about our endoscopic procedures that are minimally invasive alternatives to traditional open neck or back surgery.

Sony VAIO Z Series VPC-Z390X
- Category: Notebook Computers
February 27, 2012
Editor's Rating
- Sleek, attractive portable design
- USB 3.0 & Bluetooth
- Docking station with optical drive & discrete graphics
- Good performance, especially graphics
- Expensive price
This high-end 13-inch Sony VAIO Z Series ultrathin laptop has a tough sell simply because of its price, but it does have a very lightweight design, good graphics performance and extra long battery life. Performance is very good and the included docking station provides you with an optical drive and discrete AMD graphics capabilities.
We had reviewed another laptop in the Sony Z Series before the holidays last year and we had some gripes with the keyboard, touchpad and below average battery life. This new model improves on that, especially the battery life. It also continues with the docking station, strong performance and portable design.
The slim footprint of the VAIO VPC-Z390X is one of the selling points that Sony uses to try to get users to put out the added money to buy this notebook. It has a black carbon fiber body and a matte black finish that makes it look and feel high-quality and expensive. The whole thing measures 13.0 x 8.2 x 1.5-inches (wdh) and weighs 2.5-pounds, so it's definitely portable wherever you want to take it. We do, however, dislike the use of a slice battery that sticks out the back of the notebook that forms a lip behind the display. This battery is optional, so you don't have to sacrifice any portability or size.
The keyboard on this Sony notebook is the usual island-style layout that has become so common, especially among ultrabooks and the like. We liked our typing experience with the keyboard for the most part with no obvious gripes. It is also backlit, which is always a huge plus. The touchpad, on the other hand, was a little too small for our liking but with more use, we became accustomed to the size. Sony has placed a subtile texture on the touchpad and includes two mouse button zones for clicking and a fingerprint reader lies between them.
On our test unit, the 13.1-inch LED-backlit display had a native resolution of 1600 x 900-pixels, which is the average for a higher-end 13-inch notebook. We found the display to be very bright and delivered vibrant colors to our liking. Viewing angles were not too bad either, which can be rare for a 13-inch notebook. If you want an upgrade to 1920 x 1080-pixels, you can do so for an added $100, but some text sizes can be difficult to read on a 13-inch screen.
The docking station that comes standard with this notebook, which Sony calls the Power Media Dock, essentially duplicates the ports on the laptop itself, but also adds an optical disc drive and discrete graphics (more on that later). The dock is connected through the USB 3.0 port on the laptop itself, but is replaced by another on the dock. Both the laptop and the dock have HDMI-out and VGA-ports in addition to one USB 2.0 port on the laptop. The laptop also has Ethernet, the usual audio ports and Sony Memory Stick and SD card slots. The standard dock includes only a DVD+/-RW drive, but for an additional $50 you get a Blu-ray player and for $100 more you get a Blu-ray player/burner drive.
Wireless connectivity includes 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and optional mobile broadband (Verizon/AT&T/Sprint; 4G available through Verizon) for between $50 to $150 extra.
Our Sony VAIO VPC-Z390X's internal configuration included an Intel Core i5-2450M (2.5GHz) CPU, 4GB of RAM, two 64GB SSD hard drives (128GB total), integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics and AMD Radeon HD 6650M discrete graphics on the included dock with 1GB of dedicated video memory. Sony includes many upgrade options for this computer, which is always welcomed. Some of the upgrades include an Intel Core i7-2640M CPU ($250), 256GB ($300) / 510GB ($1100) SSD HDs and 6GB ($60) / 8GB ($120) of RAM.
Performance with this laptop puts it in-line with most ultrabooks and similar 13-inch laptops. Users should have no problems doing the usual computing tasks or watching streaming HD video. Gaming with the integrated Intel graphics is out of the question, but with the discrete AMD graphics the dock provides, it's a different story. With this you can play many of today's 3D games at a playable level without too many problems, so if you're into gaming on a 13-inch laptop, this is the only one that we've seen that can do it.
Battery life with only the internal battery yielded about 5-hours of life, but with the additional slice battery, that number is doubled. This improves on our review of the previous Z Series laptop that we reviewed.

text: "As far as professional golf is concerned, Woods cannot come back fast enough. The PGA Tour is at a critical juncture. Next year it will begin negotiating new TV contracts with CBS and NBC. In the meantime, the tour is trying to secure sponsors for 10 events in 2011 while economic conditions are not exactly favorable. Two of the hardest-hit industries, financial services and car manufacturing, are responsible for underwriting a third of the PGA Tour's sponsored events. More to the point, the entire economic model of a golf tournament is looking a bit suspect. At the moment, the value of a company's flying clients and employees to a sunny locale to drink Grey Goose cocktails and get tips on their short games from professional golfers is most likely to be lost on many of its shareholders. In other words, drumming up new sponsors and increasing — or just maintaining, really — the worth of its TV deals would have been hard enough for the tour even if the world's greatest golfer and most recognizable athlete had not become enmeshed in the biggest tabloid story in years."

Rules of Thumb
There was a time, before Pyrex and Oxo, calculators and even cookbooks, when rules of thumb ruled the kitchen. My mother taught me my first one when I was six and still standing on a barstool to reach the kitchen faucet, the infamous and eerily accurate "one-knuckle" rule for cooking rice. Like all good R.O.T., the measures were flexible. It didn't matter how much rice or what size pot or what kind of stove. It worked.
Through the years, others joined my mental chart of measures. Start frying spring rolls when a dry chopstick, lowered into the oil, sends up a rush of bubbles. Don't eat at a restaurant with the word "authentic" translated into English. A thin girl eats one bowl of rice, a polite girl two bowls. The brownies are ready when only a few crumbs stick to the toothpick.
Cooking school and restaurant work lengthened the list of informal guidelines. Cook a fish ten minutes for every inch of thickness. A properly butchered beef carcass will produce 1/4 steaks, 1/4 ground beef and stew meat, 1/4 roasts, and 1/4 waste. A classic mire poix is 2 parts onion, 1 part carrot, 1 part celery. Roux is equal parts flour and butter by weight. A cake is done when it springs back from a loving tap.
Professional caterers employ some of the most specific calculations for feeding people that are, in their way, merely interconnected rules of thumb. Are the guests standing or sitting? Sipping lemonade or knocking back cocktails? Celebrating a friend's birthday or waiting around to sign big, fat donation checks? Are the plates 5″ or 7″ wide? Are there mostly women or men? Is it a cold morning or a hot night? Each factor changes what kind and — more importantly, how much — food appears on the tables. In the end, it's as much a guesstimate as that thumb in the rice: based on experience, fluid, and as exactly right as it needs to be.
At his ambitious and thoroughly enjoyable website, RulesofThumb.org, Tom Parker has collected thousands of informal guidelines from around the world. The simple rules were originally sent to him on postcards in the 80s, when he started the project, but he's since gathered them onto a site where readers can search by keywords, contribute their own R.O.T., and rate those submitted by others.
Just a few from the Food category:
- One elephant provides the same amount of meat as one hundred antelopes.
- For long trips, plan on at least two pounds of food per person per day.
- The quality of food at a restaurant is inversely proportional to the size of the restaurant's freezer.
- If at their first daily feeding, catfish rapidly swim to the surface, stick their heads out of the water, and gulp for food, everything is O.K. If they are sluggish or don't come to the surface, promptly change the water.
- One pound of clay thrown with reasonable competence on a potter's wheel will make a vessel large enough to hold one average serving of most kinds of food.
- When you order Chinese food, order one entree less than the number of people in the group to avoid unwanted leftovers.
- To dissolve, without cooking, 17 pounds of sugar requires 1 gallon of hot water. This makes two and a quarter gallons of liquid sugar.
- If cows remain lying in a group on a rainy day, then fish will not bite.
- Don't drink water downstream from the herd.
- The hymn "Onward, Christian Soldiers" sung in a not-too-brisk tempo makes a good egg-timer. If you put the egg into boiling water and sing all five verses, with the chorus, the egg will be just right when you come to Amen.
- If a choking person can verbally request the Heimlich maneuver, he or she doesn't need it.
- You can live three seconds without blood, three minutes without air, three days without water, and three weeks without food.
Each of these reminds me how much more interesting human-based measures can be. Forget the conversion charts and fear-inducing recipes that crackle with numbers. What we need are more colorful stories embedded in plain advice.
What's your favorite rule of thumb in the kitchen? And where did you first learn it?

Just conducting a quick search on an iPhone app store reveals that folks weren't joking: there really is an app for (absolutely) everything. Thus, it's no surprise that cultural centers are actively tapping into ways to utilize iPhone apps. There seem to be discussions and brainstorms everywhere about the best ways for museums to do this.
But until your organization hooks up with an iPhone application developer so that you can pull a Smithsonian (or 'pull a Brooklyn Museum', if you prefer) by creating your own iPhone application, don't forget that there are many popular applications available right now that can help you to market your museum.
Ian is the cofounder of AppstoreHQ, a startup specializing in iPhone application search and discovery. As you can imagine, he has a good sense of which apps are high in demand. He was kind enough to give me a short tutorial on widely used iPhone applications, and upon hearing his thoughts (and piecing together my own knowledge of popular apps), I've uncovered three applications that present cool marketing opportunities for museums and cultural centers.
1) Foursquare: Reward your Mayor.
Whenever my boyfriend suggests a date night, I know exactly where we'll go: for burritos at Machos Tacos and then to share a cupcake at Alcove. How do I know that we'll do this? Because he is involved in a ferocious battle to maintain his mayorship on foursquare at these locations.
Foursquare allows users to "check in" as they visit locations throughout the city. There are several badges that folks can receive when they check in at different places. For instance, a "School Night" badge is awarded when a person checks in someplace after 3:00 am on a school night, and a "Adventurer" has checked in at ten unique venues. Similarly, a user is named the mayor of a location when he or she has the most check-ins at that location. The app proves interesting because it plays into human loss aversion, as it can tweet when you've been ousted as mayor at one of your favorite places. A trip back to the venue may restore your mayorship, and thus this application often has it's users maniacally rushing back to their favorite locations so that they can check in.
There's a good chance that your cultural institution already has a mayor (check here). So what, you ask? Well, some businesses are already utilizing this mobile application as a cool marketing tool by offering discounts to their mayors to keep them coming back to claim and reclaim the title. Museums and cultural centers might do well to follow this lead. Offer free admission for a guest, or a pair of tickets to an upcoming event to your mayor – and ask foursquare to post that information on the website. Not only will you incite some competition for mayorship, but my boyfriend and I will most likely incorporate your institution to our weekly date nights.
2) Yowza!! Show your Goods (and Friendliness) in an Economic Recession
Yowza!! finds deals in a geographic area and displays them to users. If you offer 10% off at your museum shop, you'll pop up as a good destination for deal-loving visitors… and attract a user who might have otherwise tried to find a birthday gift for their child at a place like Target. Museum shops have a lot of educational and fun items to offer! Could you buy astronaut ice cream or a Frank Lloyd Wright Art Glass Coloring Book at Target? I don't think so. At a museum shop? You betcha.
Many of the offers featured on this application are arranged directly through Yowza!! Give it a shot and capture a few unique visitors who'll appreciate your discount and discover that your museum shop is a great resource for educational toys and activities– and other generally cool items.
3) Urbanspoon: The Olive Garden… Morton's… Corner Bakery… Museum Cafe?
I remember first hearing about Urbanspoon at the end of 2008 and it's no surprise that this application is (and has been) a huge hit since then. The application allows you to find restaurants in your area by filtering price, neighborhood, and cuisine. Can't decide where to go? Give your iPhone a shake and this application will randomly come up with a suggestion.
Because this application is widely used in urban areas, I was surprised to learn that only three museum cafes are listed in Chicago and even fewer are listed in Los Angeles! And it's really easy to add your cafe to the application. So where's the museum cafe love on Urbanspoon?!
There you have it: three (of many) applications that can be utilized to market museums and cultural centers. What have you got to lose? Developing a presence on these already popular applications won't take much effort. Moreover, involvement is likely to increase attendance and aid your institution in evolving to meet the needs of an increasingly app-savvy community.
Please share any applications that you've found helpful and would like to add to the list!

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is one of the most common type of congenital heart defect. In VSD, there is a hole between the two lower chambers of the heart, the right and left ventricles. This hole allows oxygen-rich blood to mix with oxygen-poor blood, creating stress on the lungs and problems circulating enough oxygen to the body.
After birth, a baby with VSD can develop trouble feeding, excessive sleepiness, breathing problems, sweating, and a failure to thrive. Small VSDs may close on their own as the child grows, and medication and supplemental feeding may be all that is necessary, but larger VSDs often require surgery. However, with early treatment, the long-term prognosis is good.
If your doctor suspects VSD after reviewing your routine ultrasound, he or she may request a fetal echocardiogram, or an ultrasound of the fetus's heart. This echocardiogram shows the structure of the heart and how it is functioning, and can detect some of the symptoms of VSD (such as heart murmurs), which can help us confirm the diagnosis and decide on the best option for treatment.
Most babies with VSD can be delivered normally at full-term. With some more severe forms, your baby may need to be delivered early or via C-section. At the Fetal Care Institute, we monitor your baby closely during delivery to minimize complications and make state-of-the-art care available immediately.
In most cases, after delivery, your baby will be given medication and treated in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Most babies with VSD can be delivered vaginally at full-term. If there are complications, though, your baby may need to be delivered early or by C-section. At the Fetal Care Institute, our team of fetal cardiologists and maternal-fetal medicine specialists monitor your baby closely during delivery to minimize complications, and make state-of-the-art care available immediately. In most cases, after delivery, your baby will be given medication and treated in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
The severity of the defect will help the Fetal Care Institute team decide what treatments may be best for your child.
For smaller VSDs, or to supplement other treatments for large VSDs Common medications include digoxin, which helps strengthen the heart muscle, and diuretics, which help the kidneys remove extra fluid.
For large and small VSDs, if needed These help prevent bacterial infection within the heart.
Nutritional supplements
For smaller VSDs, or to supplement other treatments for large VSDs These help your child gain weight, and may include high-calorie formula, supplements to breast milk, or tube feeding.
Cardiac catheterization (minimally invasive surgery)
For larger VSDs The surgeon uses a small tube, called a catheter, to insert an umbrella-shaped patch to close the hole. The incision for this surgery is very small.
Open heart surgery
For larger VSDs, if cardiac catheterization is not an option . The surgeon stitches or patches the hole. Some VSDs may have a structure that would make cardiac catheterization unsuccessful.
If your baby needs surgery, the surgeons often perform the surgery within the first week or two of his or her life. After the surgery, children need regular follow-up visits with a cardiologist to monitor their progress, but usually lead healthy, normal lives.

The latest news in the ongoing contract dispute between the Broadway stagehands union Local One and the League of American Theatres and Producers is that the two parties will return to the negotiating table on November 7. Talks between the Broadway stagehands and producers ceased on October 9, and since that time, Local One voted to authorize a strike (if necessary) and the producers began implementing portions of their proposed contract, even though the union obviously hasn't accepted the offer. Local One leadership instructed its members to go ahead and abide by the new provisions until a new contract has been officially agreed upon.
At this stage, it's hard to say whether or not there will be a strike. The League's imposition of the new rules was an aggressive move that seemed designed to provoke, but Local One has never gone on strike before and likely doesn't want to start now. The head of IATSE, Local One's parent union, will be present at the new negotiations, which isn't necessarily a good sign, though — an IATSE representative must be present at one round of talks before Local One is permitted to strike.

Another WinMo phone for AT&T… I am not disappointed either. This one is the Samsung Jack, a replacement for the BlackJack series. Hey, I thought the Propel Pro did that. Oh well. Go Jack. No, not Jack Cook. The Samsung Jack. This phone will be available May 19th and will carry a price tag of $99 after mail in rebate. The Jack is running Windows Mobile 6.1 and AT&T has already announced in the press release (after the break) that the Samsung Jack will be able to be upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.5 when it is available. Check out the video online after the break as well. It's a really nice looking non touch screen phone. To be 100% honest, it looks like the Moto Q a little.
Read on for the press release and video of the Samsung Jack …
Update: I knew this one looked familiar. This one was shown by Microsoft at CTIA last month… The Valencia. It was announced at MWC as I was told by during CTIA.
Compact, Elegant Handset is Powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 and features Wi-Fi, 3.2 Megapixel Camera and Integrated aGPS Technology
DALLAS, May 14, 2009 — Smartphone fans have an ace in hand with the latest Windows Mobile device from AT&T and Samsung.

Tomatoes anyone?
My tomatoes were late this year, so that means they are booming now that everyone is tired of them. Fresh garden tomatoes are so yummy in July and August. By September people run when they see you coming with a basket.
I love to make a simple salad with fresh tomatoes, basil, mozzarella slices, and Kalamata olives. Squeeze half a lemon over it and a dash of balsamic vinegar. This is what I eat about four nights a week.
Below is my favorite tomato of the year. It's a heirloom of some kind (we planted an assortment of seeds and forgot what was what). That's a quarter beside it. Huge! It took up the entire plate. Tomatoes anyone?

This is our IM Target Review. For more information on IM Target, click the link below:
IM Target will take the average person who would like to earn a living online, and teach them how to do that step by step. Do you want to be the next person who tells their boss to shove it because you are making more money from home than in your job? Are you tired of working online and having no success regardless of what you try? Many people have this problem. They have a problem trying to find the right niche, then getting a website that converts visitors into sales. You can bypass all these problems with IM Target.
Once you have launched your online business and it starts to succeed, you will want to know how you can manage your business so you can grow. You now have your own real business and it's important to know all the right moves to make. The object is making money. IM Target has all the information laid out for you. You learn exactly how running an online business works and how you will be able to manage your business day to day.
This is my IM Target Review.
IM Target Review – What Is It?
IM Target is a system that teaches you how to build a successful online business. The information in the program teaches every-day people how they can use simple tools and systems to get started online profitably. The key is select the right niches and then building multiple sites, rather than trying to work out what market to go into and then putting all of your eggs in that one basket.
IM Target teaches you how to dominate virtually any niche and how to get your sites to rank at the top of Google and other search engines. It is amazing how much information they have packed into this program and how much it can teach you.
After selling millions of dollars worth of products, and knowing what works and what doesn't Anik Singal and his team have created IM Target and jammed it full of information so regular people can finally succeed, regardless of how much you already know.
IM Target Review – What I Like
There are a lot of things I love about IM Target, especially how Anik Singal and his team teach new students how to generate search engine traffic to websites that are also brand new.
If anybody reading this IM Target review has ever bought anything from Anik Singal then you'll know that it's going to be the best quality and it is going to deliver. Anik and his team are always compiling data and information so they can bring you the best training possible. You'll see that they haven't held back with IM Target either.
IM Target Review – What We Didn't Like
If I could really put my finger on it and come up with one idea that I didn't like about IM Target, it's the fact that it mostly revolves around doing simple stuff that might get boring after you've done it a few times.
Having said that, Anik Singal and his team have created a very good program for people who would love to create top ranking websites that make money, and they give you the help you need so you can outsource all of the boring stuff anyway.
That's pretty much it. With what they go through in IM Target you will be well on your way to creating a profitable business using simple little websites.
IM Target Review – Overall Thoughts
Overall, I really like IM Target. It's an awesome plan that will allow you to create a successful online business and become very good at it.
This system is one of a kind, because it teaches you how to be the person who calls the shots, and shows you the right way to make money online without overwhelming you with stuff you don't need.

Overexpression of c-Myc is one of the most common alterations in human cancers, yet it is not clear how this transcription factor acts to promote malignant transformation. To understand the molecular targets of c-Myc function, we have used an unbiased genome-wide location-analysis approach to examine the genomic binding sites of c-Myc in Burkitt's lymphoma cells. We find that c-Myc together with its heterodimeric partner, Max, occupy >15% of gene promoters tested in these cancer cells. The DNA binding of c-Myc and Max correlates extensively with gene expression throughout the genome, a hallmark attribute of general transcription factors. The c-Myc/Max heterodimer complexes also colocalize with transcription factor IID in these cells, further supporting a general role for overexpressed c-Myc in global gene regulation. In addition, transcription of a majority of c-Myc target genes exhibits changes correlated with levels of c-myc mRNA in a diverse set of tissues and cell lines, supporting the conclusion that c-Myc regulates them. Taken together, these results suggest a general role for overexpressed c-Myc in global transcriptional regulation in some cancer cells and point toward molecular mechanisms for c-Myc function in malignant transformation.

Advances in sequencing technologies have accelerated the sequencing of new genomes, far outpacing the generation of gene and protein resources needed to annotate them. Direct comparison and alignment of existing cDNA sequences from a related species is an effective and readily available means to determine genes in the new genomes. Current spliced alignment programs are inadequate for comparing sequences between different species, owing to their low sensitivity and splice junction accuracy. A new spliced alignment tool, sim4cc, overcomes problems in the earlier tools by incorporating three new features: universal spaced seeds, to increase sensitivity and allow comparisons between species at various evolutionary distances, and powerful splice signal models and evolutionarily-aware alignment techniques, to improve the accuracy of gene models. When tested on vertebrate comparisons at diverse evolutionary distances, sim4cc had significantly higher sensitivity compared to existing alignment programs, more than 10% higher than the closest competitor for some comparisons, while being comparable in speed to its predecessor, sim4. Sim4cc can be used in one-to-one or one-to-many comparisons of genomic and cDNA sequences, and can also be effectively incorporated into a high-throughput annotation engine, as demonstrated by the mapping of 64,000 Fagus grandifolia 454 ESTs and unigenes to the poplar genome.

More About:
As conventional silage corn has increased in value in the dairy diet, so have brown midrib (BMR) hybrids, suggests Kathleen Emery, a dairy nutritionist with Mycogen Seeds/Dow AgroSciences.
"Dairy producers have increased their use of corn silage as a forage source over the past 10 years. It's really been influenced by the high price of energy sources like corn. And, since BMR corn silage has more digestible nutrients, it can substitute for some corn.
"We have a lot of experience in the Midwest where people have substituted BMR for lesser digestible corn silages, and they've been able to increase the forage part of their rations upwards of 10% because so much of it is a higher-digestibility feed."
BMR is a naturally occurring gene mutation that contains less lignin in its cornstalks than is found in conventional silage corn. "There's 30% less lignin in BMR, so there are more digestible nutrients and cows eat more of it. In California, it's been a real boon to producers because they've been able to eliminate between 3 and 5 lbs of purchased corn from the ration and increase the forage part upwards of 60% because of the higher fiber digestibility of BMR," says Emery.
Mycogen's BMR hybrids were the first introduced in the mid-1990s. Legacy Seeds also sells BMR hybrids. And, recently, DuPont Pioneer entered the market, says Bill Ramsey, Pioneer's western livestock information manager.
"We introduced our first commercial BMR silage hybrid two years ago and added one more this year. We felt like we needed to get into the BMR arena to complement our full line of elite corn silage germplasms," he adds.
BMR silage corns generally don't yield as well as conventional hybrids, Ramsey says, and that makes some producers hesitate.
"For many of our growers in the West, we're working with water-limited environments or production systems struggling to provide all of the forage that's needed for the dairy enterprise. Those people in that position don't want to sacrifice anything on the yield side.
"On the other hand, they realize that the BMR silage hybrids really have a good fit for those high-production cows so they still grow some and treat it as an ingredient. They'll segregate it so they can feed it to those transition cows and the cows with the upper third in genetics."
For more on BMR corn silage hybrids, visit Mycogen.com, Pioneer.com or Legacyseeds.com.

Now difficult to select foreign player; its now KP & Greg already joined & Ros will join soon. RC looks so strong and bench strengh. Weak only all rounder in team, except Kallies no one stands as allrounder. Another worring factor is relying on Praveen & stain. If the things are good these guys are good enough, but if things going wrong they are frustrating getting back. So far as Vinay Kumar is wicket taking bowler but he conceding the runs. In otherwords say Vinay is the targeted bowler to all opposition. He should be care about it. So far as all things are favouring to RC, 'Test' team now becoming fourite team to win the IPL. We wish them all is well.

The Urban Institute's Assessing the New Federalism Project closely followed struggling families over the past decade as many left welfare—first in a booming economy, then through a recession, and now in a period when wages have stagnated and health insurance costs have skyrocketed.
Building on more than a decade of ANF research, ANF has changed focus to become the new Low-Income Working Families project. While ANF studied public safety-net programs as they shifted largely from the federal government to the states and from cash welfare to work supports, the new project spotlights the private and public sector context for families' success or failure.
The Low-Income Working Families project applies rigorous research methods to track families over time and to analyze the risks these families face. It incorporates crosscutting research expertise, from housing to health care and labor markets, honed at the Urban Institute over the past 40 years. Read more
Dramatic changes have occurred for low-income families, those who have been on welfare and those who haven't, from the mid-1990s to the present. Assessing the New Federalism—Eight Years Later synthesizes much of what we've learned so far through an intensive research effort, including a national survey of 40,000 American families, case studies, budgetary analysis, and a database of evolving state welfare rules.

Kate Middleton family's £4.7 million home haunted
A ghost related to Princess Diana is haunting the Duchess of Cambridge's parents, the Sunday People has revealed. At midnight, the spectre of Lady Frances Winchombe is said to ride with four headless coachmen past Michael and Carole Middletons' new home, a £4.7 million manor, in Bucklebury, Berks. The restless banshee, who died of a broken heart after her husband cheated on her, ended her life in the area.
Councillor Wynne Frankum said: "The story of Lady Winchcombe is well known around here. The ghost is a chariot drawn by six black horses driven by headless postillions and a lady clad in white."…

A Simple Search Engine
Now that we can search for a pattern through all files under a particular directory, let's connect this functionality to the Web, searching through all of the files under the HTTP server's document hierarchy. Such a program will need to receive only a pattern from the user, since the web hierarchy does not change very often.
Listing 6 is an HTML form that could be used to provide such input. This HTML form will submit its contents to simple-cgi-find.pl, the CGI program in Listing 7. Its parameter, pattern, contains a Perl pattern to be compared with the contents of each file in the web hierarchy, simple-cgi-find.pl will return a list of documents matching the user's pattern.
Unfortunately, the version of File::Find that comes with Perl does not work with the -T flag, which turns on Perl's secure tainting mode. CGI programs should always be run with -T, which ensures data from outside sources is not used in potentially compromising ways. In this case, however, we cannot run our program with -T. File::Find relies on the fastcwd routine in the Cwd module, which cannot be run successfully with -T. For the time being, I suggest using these programs without -T, but when the next version of Perl is released, I strongly recommend upgrading in order to run CGI programs with full tainting enabled.
Our search subroutine, find_matches, has been modified slightly, so that its results will be more relevant for web users. The first thing it does is to make sure the file has an extension indicating it contains HTML-formatted text or plain text. This ensures that the search will not try to view graphics files, which can contain any characters:
return unless (m/\.html?$/i or m/\.te?xt$/i);
Some web sites mark HTML files with extensions of .htm (or .HTM), and their text files with .txt or .TXT rather than .text. The above pattern allows for all of these variations, ignoring case with the /i switch and ensuring the suffix comes at the end of the pattern with the $ metacharacter.
After retrieving the contents of the current file, find_matches checks to see if $pattern can be found inside of $contents, which contains the document's contents. We surround $pattern with \b characters, to look for $pattern on word boundaries. This ensures that searching for "foo" will not match the word "food", even though the former is a subset of the latter.
If a match is found, find_matches creates a URL by substituting $search_root with $url_root, which hides the HTML document hierarchy from outside users. It then prints the file name inside a hyperlink to that URL:
if ($contents =~ m|\b$pattern\b|ios) { my $url = "$File::Find::dir/$filename"; $url =~ s/$search_root/$url_origin/; print qq{
$filename\n} }
While simple-cgi-find.pl works, it does have a few problems. For starters, it fails to differentiate between HTML tags and actual content. Searching for "IMG" should not match any document containing an  tag, but rather any content outside of HTML tags that contains that string. For this reason, we will modify our program to remove HTML tags from the input file.
Beginning Perl programmers often think that the best way to remove HTML tags is to remove anything between < and >, as in:
$contents =~ s|<.+>||g;
Since "." tells Perl to match any character and "+" tells Perl to match one or more of the preceding character, the statement above looks like it tells Perl to remove all of the HTML tags. Unfortunately, this is not the case—the statement will remove everything between the first < and the final > appearing in the file. This is because Perl's patterns are "greedy", and try to maximize the number of characters they match.
We can make "+" non-greedy and try to match only the minimum number of characters by placing a ? after it. For example:
$contents =~ s|<.+?>||g;
There is also the sticky issue of what to do if $pattern contains white space. Should it be considered as a search phrase containing one or more white-space characters? Or should it be considered several different words with an "or" or "and" search?
In this particular case, we can have our cake and eat it, too. By adding a set of radio buttons to the HTML form, we can allow the user to choose whether a search should be literal, require all search terms be found or require any one of the search terms be found.
Now we can modify our program to handle "phrase" searches (as we have been doing until now), "and" searches (in which all of the words must appear) and "or" searches (in which one or more of the words must appear).
To implement an "and" search, we break the elements of phrase apart by using Perl's "split" operator. We then count the number of words we must find, iterating over each of them and checking to see if they all exist in $contents. If $counter reaches 0, we can be sure all words appear:
elsif ($search_type eq "and") { my @words = split /\s+/, $pattern; my $count = scalar @words; foreach my $word (@words) { $count- if ($contents =~ m|\b$word\b|is); } unless ($count) { print qq{
$filename\n}; $total_matches++; } }
An "or" search is even easier to implement: once again, we break apart $phrase across white space. If even one of the constituent words matches, we can immediately print the file name and hyperlink, and return from find_matches:
elsif ($search_type eq "or") { my @words = split /\s+/, $pattern; foreach my $word (@words) { if ($contents =~ m|\b$word\b|is) { print qq{
$filename\n}; $total_matches++; return; } } }Finally, we should have some way of telling the user how many documents matched. We do this by creating a new variable, $total_matches, which is incremented each time a document matches (as seen in the above code fragments for "and" and "or" searches).
These improvements are incorporated into the search program called better-cgi-search.pl, in Listing 9, not printed here but contained in the archive file (see Resources).
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.

Williams FW34 - ear-less front brake ducts 07 July 2012
Williams started a trend this year with their front brakes ducts which don't have the usual ear inlets to help cool in the inside section of the drums. The design was copied by Sauber at the second winter test, appeared on the Ferrari in Montreal - despite it being the hardest race on brakes - and features in Caterham's big upgrade package at Silverstone. Airflow is instead fed through the space between the duct's big plate and the tyre (blue arrow), cutting negative drag in the important channel created by the wheel and the chassis.

The Best of 2008, 3: Film and Film Posters
Somehow I went a full year without seeing many films, so the competition wasn't all that steep, though I'm still relatively happy with most of my top picks. Remember that they count if I saw them in 2008, hence some of the 2007 entries.
10. Enchanted. Silly but fun, and ideal for the second 9 hour leg of a trip to Malawi.
9. Sweeney Todd. I like Tim Burton's aesthetic. Odd, dark, kinda cool.
8. The Bourne Ultimatum. If only I could move and fight like Bourne, my subway commute would be so much less of a hassle.
7. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Admittedly, in other years, the movie that gifted the phrase "nuking the fridge" to movie criticism wouldn't make the list, but it was fun, and it was great to see Harrison back in action. I spent a lot of playtime trying to be him as a kid, so he has a long leash.
6. Quantum of Solace. Not quite Casino Royale, but I'm intrigued by the decision to serialize the Bond films, and Daniel Craig is still easily the best Bond.
5. There Will Be Blood. By the time Daniel Day Lewis was drinking from the other dude's milkshake, I was a little tired, since I also saw this on the way to Malawi, but it was gripping stuff. I wish I could've seen it on the big screen.
4. Cloverfield. A great ride. My sense is that New Yorkers liked this film more than others. I loved it. Wouldn't want to own it or see it without a full theatre, but I really liked it.
3. No Country for Old Men. I have a real weak spot for totally dark, badass villains, so this movie hit all the right chords with me. And I love the Coen Bros. stuff.
2. Iron Man. Like Batman Begins, Iron Man has a brilliant first two acts, then falls quite flat. But its first two acts were really fun.
1. The Dark Knight. I know I'm not supposed to like it, because hype is bad, right? Well, much of Dark Knight's hype was really bad (a Gotham pepperoni pizza from Domino's? Come on!). I think much of its marketing sucked. To the point that I was ready to dislike the film, and especially Heath Ledger's performance. Instead, I really liked it. The IMAX screen helped, no doubt. But it was great fun. Let the haters hate, but I won't. I'm even one of the only people I know who actually likes Christian Bale's Batman voice.
Now for movie posters after the fold. Yes, I get to the extratextuals eventually …
Movie Posters
10. Iron Man. The challenge for teasers seems to be to pick a good icon. This one does it for fans, but offers a visually evocative image for non-fans.
9. Punisher. Same as above.
8. Beautiful Losers. I've seen other posters like this, but it's fun and snappy looking, warm and inviting.
7. The Eye. A simple concept done very well. As with some of the other horror posters (which are often the best movie posters, since they need to create the actual genre, making you scared, whereas many other posters just sell anticipation, a generic image [ie: tough guy with gun], and a few star names or images), it creeped me out every time I saw it.
6. Blindness. Most posters are dark or colorfully bright. It's rare to go white. The sight chart and the figure behind frosted glass are nice conceits too.
5. Cloverfield. Quite clearly announcing itself as a creature-feature monster film, it does its job really well, as did almost everything that hyped this film. No film received such brilliant marketing since The Blair Witch Project, arguably.
4. The Happening (German version). A really cool image, and it captures the sense of seeing things from a different angle that M. Night's films promise to give (even if they don't deliver).
3. Man on Wire. Being scared of heights, perhaps I'm an easy mark, but both of these posters are totally arresting, both enticing one to see the film to get the full story of why someone would do such a stupid thing.
2. Forgetting Sarah Marshall. A wonderful teaser poster that has one begging for more information while bemused, and while completely understanding the situation in which the film's lead character finds himself.
1. Saw V. I have no plan to see this film. But every time I saw (ahem) or see the poster, I'm entranced. It's not just the human mask conceit, but the completely blank look on his face: shouldn't someone wearing such a mask be smiling, laughing, or cackling? It makes the picture all the more eerie. Is he dead? Plotting? Mourning? It's an excellent poster.

General Services Administration CIO Casey Coleman is leaving her position at the agency to become a vice president at AT&T Government Solutions.
AGS, a division of AT&T Inc. that serves federal agencies, said Jan. 7 it had named Coleman as client executive vice president. Her first day at her new job will be Jan. 21.
Sonny Hashmi, GSA's deputy CIO, has agreed to serve as acting CIO when Coleman leaves, GSA Administrator Dan Tangherlini said in a statement.
GSA Deputy Administrator Susan Brita will also be leaving the agency, Tangherlini said, and Denise Turner Roth will assume the role of deputy administrator on March 14.
Coleman, who has served as CIO for GSA's Federal Acquisition Service and Federal Technology Service, oversees the GSA's Office of the Chief Information Officer, and manages the agency's $600 million information technology budget.
In her new role at AGS, the company said, Coleman will be responsible for the development of long-term customer relationships and delivery of customized solutions for a key set of agencies in the civilian market.
"Advances in cloud, mobility, big data and security present federal organizations with a new world of opportunities," Coleman said in a statement issued by AGS. "I am thrilled to join AT&T Government Solutions and look forward to helping federal customers achieve their mission in innovative, strategic ways by combining AT&T's impressive solutions portfolio with my many years of experience in the federal IT sector."
Tangherlini called Coleman "an important part of GSA for years," who had helped the agency achieve several "firsts" for the government in mobility, cloud computing, social media and collaboration initiatives that have reduced costs, improved productivity, and improved the agency's ability to deliver services to federal partners. "Her dedication, work ethic, and willingness to help her co-workers have made a difference in every corner of this agency and we wish her well," said Tangherlini.
Rumors of Coleman's departure began circulating shortly after another prominent federal information executive left for the private sector. On Dec. 20, Office of Federal Procurement Policy Administrator Joe Jordan accepted a position as president of public sector at FedBid, a privately held company that offers a reverse-auction marketplace in which companies compete for government business by bidding down their prices.

Poem: "The Battling Boys of Benghazi"
The Battling Boys of Benghazi
We're the Battling Boys of Benghazi,
no fame, no glory, no paparazzi.
Just a fiery death in a blazing hell
defending the country we loved so well.
It wasn't our job, but we answered the call,
fought to the consulate and scaled the wall.
We pulled twenty countrymen from the jaws of fate,
led them to safety and stood at the gate.
Just the two of us, and foes by the score,
but we stood fast to bar the door.
Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,
so we fought and we fought and we fought till we died.
We gave our all for our Uncle Sam
but Barack Obama didn't give a damn
just two dead SEALs who carried the load
no thanks to us – we were just "bumps in the road."~Anonymous Marine Corps Officer
Please share to keep their memory and the story alive.
