HCA outlines work still left to do as mayor considers a programme for London
£3.2 billion needed to make all homes decent
Social landlords will need to spend another £3.2 billion to make all of their housing stock decent.
Sir Bob Kerslake, chief executive of the Homes and Communities Agency, revealed the full scale of the challenge as it emerged London mayor Boris Johnson could develop a 'beyond decent homes' standard for social homes in London.
Currently there are still 397,000 non-decent council properties and a further 182,000 homes owned by other social landlords in England. The figure represents approximately 14 per cent of the overall English social housing stock.
Sir Bob revealed the figures at the Northern Housing Summit for landlords and procurement consortia last week. 'To finish the job wll require something like £3.2 billion,' he stated.
Sir Bob said planned reforms of the housing subsidy system could help councils that have already made their homes decent maintain them into the future. But he said councils that still had substantial numbers of non-decent homes would need more help.
'I think they need direct government funding to move them forward,' he stated. 'There is still quite a big and quite a long tail to deliver here.'
Sir Bob added that procurement consortia would have a big role to play in helping the HCA make a case to government for more money for the programme.
'In making that argument [for funding] we are in a much stronger place if we can be clear we are getting absolutely top value out of the resources available,' Sir Bob added.
The London mayor's office is working with environmental charity the Centre for Sustainable Energy on a new standard for the city's stock, which it is discussing with the government ahead of October's comprehensive spending review.
The new standard is likely to focus on energy efficiency. A source close to the discussions said social landlords would probably be expected to bring their stock up to the standard as part of their normal programme of repairs and maintenance rather than as a standalone project.
A spokesperson for the mayor's office said all options were currently under consideration.
Martin Holley, senior technical project manager for the CSE, said: 'The ultimate end result of this valuable piece of work should be an improvement in the quality of life for people living in London's social rented sector.'

I can't help feeling that someone going to be disappointed about this dosh not arriving. I mean, our Dave flies commercial to see Obama.
On the other hand, the £3.5bn figure is probably one of rabbit out of the hat jobs that serves no other purpose than a positioning bid.
Many local authorities in London are meeting the DH standard not by doing any work but by taking a flexible attitude on definitions.
At a stroke, that 15-year-old kitchen meets the standard because the standard has now moved to 30 years before replacement.
Or there's that scam about shifting from a cyclical repairs regime to a responsive repairs programme. A couple of words and millions are removed from costs.Another £3.2Bn? After the last £37Bn splurge? I really don't see that happening anytime before the next Ice Age. Especially for London. With some areas of prime central London having as much as 75% council housing Treasury are well within their rights to say if you want the money, sell some stock. The London average is 26% and the national is 18%. No LA that has more than these averages should be given a penny...
Or how Central Government has become the author of disrepair and local authorities have misled tenants into voting for the privatisation of their homes.
SEE: www.indoubt.co.ukGo and get the money from the banks that put us in this position in the first place made lots of profit first part of the year. Also get this years Housing Benefit payment from them fatcats
How believable are these figures?
In Lambeth, south London, the non-decency figure for council properties was around 30 per cent for more than four years, until it suddenly leapt to 49 per cent, supposedly as a result of a new stock condition survey.
After a year in which no figure at all was reported for non-decency the new figure emerged just after this May's election - couldn't be, could it, that the council's Labour administration was keeping the news back that it had allowed half of Lambeth council homes to fall below even the most basic standard.If the requirement for such an investment is truly required then how about asking the tenants of those houses what they think. Are they happy with the current standard of fitment, insulation etc? If they are and health and safety issues are nil, then why not leave the happy tenants to get on with it. If they are not, then how would they like to go forwards, at what speed, from what funding source? Ask them please as so often the answers that come from those directly involved far exceed the thinking of the experts. Who knows, it may just help make the problem become resolved.

Definitions of Decent Home are infinitely flexible and can be stretched to prove how wonderful a housing authority is at improving its stock as well as that a housing authority is in desperate need of huge amounts of taxpayers' cash.the decent home standard was yet another way to create orders for housing offficials favouered friends. (they are going to fight to maintain their 'perks' in the budget cuts)
the whole standard needed looking at. it was far too high for social housing. Bathrooms and kitchens which would have been adequate for another 20 to 40 years were being replaced, just to meet inapropriate standards.You wouldn't believe the tricks social landlords use to fool their residents (especially those who believe they have got a good landlord)
How can anyone deny social housing is all about landlords abusing residents and getting away with it?

Newly Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Tips please
I was recently diagnosed with FMS. I am relieved in a way to finally put a name to what I am going thru. Having tremendous pain, and quite a bit of fatigue. What tips can other sufferers give to me. I have an appointment with A rhumetologist, but it is a ways off. TIA
I am able to handle the pain in the daytime, though it does limit some of my activities. My biggest problem is sleeping. Lyrica helps. Cyclobenzaprine helps. I habituate to both of them if I take them on a consistent basis. I would start with cyclobenzaprine, which is inexpensive and doesn't seem to have any side effects. Lyrica is expensive and leaves me a little groggy. I also take an inexpensive seretonen reuptake inhibitor. It was supposed to help me to sleep. It helps me to stay asleep, but not fall asleep.
You will want to be tested to make sure that your vit. D levels are optimal. I suggest you go on a gluten free, dairy free diet and see if that helps. It will take several weeks of very careful eating to know for sure.
The chronic fatigue is really difficult to deal with if you still have to work. I retired early since my husband was able to support both of us.
I was in terrible pain for years and years before I saw a rheumatologist. I considered suicide. My GP just didn't care about pain. I am glad that you are starting out with the right kind of doctor. If you don't get help with the pain, find someone else.
I have Ankylosing Spondylitis, and most of the symptoms of AS and FMS are very VERY similiar, so I can give you good advice. Alot of people with AS also have FM.
I second the Vitamin D reccomendation, I think that is the first importants step and cannot stress enough you need to have your levels checked ASAP. Low vitamin D is common in AS and FMS and indeed low vitamin d causes, you guessed it, muscle pain.
The reason you are tired and fatigued, even if you get a good nights sleep, is because your body is in a state of inflammation. This makes your body fight hard.
Try eating a healthy, balanced diet free from processed foods. Change your white pastas to the whole grain kinds, some even have added omegas from flax.
I dealth with this since I was 20, trying to find a diagnosis. I was diagnosed at 37. I know. Long time. Gps told me its in my head, I am too young to have arthritis, blah blah. I had a cat scan to check on some fluid in my abdomen after having my gallbladder out, and the radiologist happened to notice that my Sacro-illiac joint ( the bottom part of your spine) was fused- which is why I had pain in that area, all that inflammation and pain as my AS was turning cartiliage into bone. That radiologist suggested I might have AS, and BANG- my life has changed.
I have pain releif to take as needed, I am experimenting with different treatments, but the most beneficial thing was researching and finding a routine that works for me.
My best friend is my heating pad. I have a large one- and I also have a full body one- ask if you are interested in where to find a full body heating pad. Every morning I get my coffee, and recline on my heating pad.
I eat well, I get excersise - even when it hurts, the fresh air and sun really help.
ANother good thing you can do is join a support group-
But go get your vitamin D tested.

Albert Lea, Minn., Austin, Minn., Rochester, Minn.
Describes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
The investigators will do the study in two phases. The first phase will be a pilot study on up to 18 participants [patients 60 years or older with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) or patients who are eligible to undergo and participate in cardiac rehabilitation (CR)]; up to 6 participants each will be given oral daily rapamycin (0.5, 1, and 2mg) dose for the duration of CR. Baseline and follow-up data will be collected for age-associated impairment (AAI): frailty (primary endpoint) and quality of life (QOL),senescent-associated secretory phenotype (SASP)and abdominal/thigh subcutaneous adipose biopsy for measurement of adipocyte mitochondrial DNA copy number and to quantitate the number of senescent preadipocytes. Safety of rapamycin will be assessed by periodic clinical follow-up, blood draws, and serum rapamycin levels. Following completion of the pilot phase, the data will be analyzed. If favorable changes are noted in the SASP or AAI, the investigators will start a phase 2 randomized trial.
Second phase: In a prospective, randomized, clinical trial design, patients 60 years or older will be randomized at the time of CR to a standardized exercise protocol, or exercise protocol with the addition of low-dose rapamycin to test the hypothesis whether low-dose rapamycin (demonstrated in the pilot trial to improve SASP/AAI) will improve measures of AAI, SASP, or findings on the fat biopsy as compared to exercise alone. The null hypotheses are that there is no improvement with rapamycin in measures of AAI or SASP.

Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if carotid artery ultrasound scanning can provide additional information for determining cardiovascular risk in patients.
Patients who agree to participate wil undergo non-invasive carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) measurement and plaque assessment. Findings of CIMT will be compared to results of patient standard of care stress echocardiogram (SE) and of diastolic function.
We hypothesize tht 1) in patients undergoing SE for inappropriate or uncertain indications, CIMT and plaque assessment will provide useful risk stratification beyond use of traditional risk factors; 2) CIMT findings will correlate with results of SE in terms of exercise capacity and 3) Exercise capacity will correlate with diastolic function.
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to determine a relationship between a person's flora/bacteria in their gut (the intestinal microbiome) and their risk of cardiovascular disease. Investigators will look at inflammatory markers in the blood and also look at the genome of the bacteria in the gut.
This research is being done because Investigators believe that there is a connection between the way food is digested by a person's gut bacteria and the development of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and cardiovascular disease. The ultimate goal of this research is to eventually determine if changes to the gut bacteria can prevent cardiovascular disease or disease progression.
This study is being done to better understand how genetic information might improve assessment of heart attack risk.
The ABSORB III RCT is a prospective randomized, single-blind, multi-center trial. It is the pivotal trial to support the US pre-market approval (PMA) of Absorb™ Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS).
The ABSORB III includes additional two trials i.e. ABSORB III PK sub-study and ABSORB IV RCT trial which are maintained under one protocol because both trial designs are related, ABSORB IV is the continuation of ABSORB III and the data from ABSORB III and ABSORB IV will be pooled to support the ABSORB IV primary endpoint. Both the trials will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Absorb BVS.
The majority of the acute coronary events are caused by coronary artery segments with minimal luminal disease, but with potentially significant vascular wall inflammation and oxidative stress leading to plaque vulnerability. It has become apparent that an initial injury at the endothelial surface, is the primary site of the mechanisms involved and a role for vascular inflammation and the interaction with oxidative stress continues to emerge. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is a novel biomarker for vascular wall inflammation that circulates in the blood bound to both low density (LDL) and high density (HDL) lipoprotein and promotes vascular inflammation. Circulating levels of Lp-PLA2 mass and activity are an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events. Recent studies, demonstrating that Lp-PLA2 is also associated with coronary endothelial dysfunction. However, the relationship between Lp-PLA2 and early atherosclerotic changes in the coronary arteries, and the contribution of lipoprotein binding to the deleterious potential of Lp- PLA2 have not been elucidated. Our working hypothesis is that the endogenous local activation of the Lp-PLA2 pathway plays an integral role in early coronary atherosclerosis and contributes to the mechanism of coronary endothelial dysfunction and the structural and mechanical properties reflecting plaque vulnerability. Thus, the current application will characterize prospectively the correlation between the functional, mechanical, and structural vascular wall properties, and the systemic as well as the coronary activity of the Lp-PLA2 pathway.
To provide additional information about the safety and efficacy of the WATCHMAN LAA Closure Technology.
The purpose of this work is to evaluate the feasibility of a new Cardiac Vascular Reconstruction (CAVAREC, Siemens Medical Systems, Germany) image reconstruction algorithm for use during transcatheter aortic valve implant (TAVI) procedures. CAVAREC utilizes the same x-ray projection images as currently acquired for clinical DynaCT. X-ray image acquisition to allow CAVAREC will occur during the TAVI procedure both before and after the TAVI device is implanted. The CAVAREC image processing algorithm will be implemented on an off-line workstation after the TAVI procedure is complete. After the TAVI procedure, CAVAREC images will be quantitatively and qualitatively compared to Siemens DynaCT and cardiac CT images from Radiology. The results of this study will be used to direct further development of CAVAREC toward the end goal of providing improved imaging capabilities to guide TAVI procedures.
Jacksonville, Fla.
During the early phases (phases 1 and 2), researchers assess safety, side effects, optimal dosages and risks/benefits. In the later phase (phase 3), researchers study whether the treatment works better than the current standard therapy. They also compare the safety of the new treatment with that of current treatments. Phase 3 trials include large numbers of people to make sure that the result is valid. There are also less common very early (phase 0) and later (phase 4) phases. Phase 0 trials are small trials that help researchers decide if a new agent should be tested in a phase 1 trial. Phase 4 trials look at long-term safety and effectiveness, after a new treatment has been approved and is on the market.
Colchicine will lower C-reactive protein (CRP) in chronic atrial fibrillation and reduce the rise in CRP which occurs following atrial fibrillation ablation.
Endothelial dysfunction, or abnormal functioning of the lining of blood vessels, appears to be a key process in the development of cardiovascular disease. Endothelial dysfunction appears to be caused by both sleep disordered breathing and obesity. As endothelial dysfunction is among the first clinical marker that predicts future cardiovascular events, understanding molecular mechanisms leading to impairment of endothelial function is very important. Endothelial function requires the proper functioning of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). eNOS activity is tightly regulated by caveolin-1, a protein important in the formation of cellular structures called caveolae. Low levels of caveolin-1 facilitate optimal nitric oxide synthesis in endothelial cells as caveolin-1 helps to spatially organize eNOS in close proximity to signaling proteins that are important for eNOS activation. In certain diseases however, the balance of caveolin-1 and eNOS can be disrupted resulting in impaired nitric oxide synthesis and leading to endothelial dysfunction.
The investigators therefore seek to characterize levels of caveolin-1, and correlate this with the presence or absence of sleep disordered breathing, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. The current IRB protocol covers the performance of fat biopsies on subjects who have recently completed a sleep study either in the Center for Sleep Medicine or in our sleep laboratory and were found to have sleep disordered breathing or no sleep disordered breathing, subject with sleep disordered breathing who have been treated successfully with continuous positive airway pressure for 3-6 months, and subjects undergoing other studies in our lab who are obese or non-obese and subjects who have known cardiovascular disease and subjects without known cardiovascular disease.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Sugar tit is a folk name for a baby pacifier, or dummy, that was once commonly made and used in North America and Britain. It was made by placing a spoonful of sugar, or honey, in a small patch of clean cloth, then gathering the cloth around the sugar and twisting it to form a bulb. The bulb was then secured by twine or a rubber band. The baby's saliva would slowly dissolve the sugar in the bulb.
In use the exposed outfolded fabric could give the appearance of a flower in the baby's mouth. David Ransel quotes a Russian study by Dr. N. E. Kushev while discussing a similar home-made cloth-and-food pacifier called a soska; there, the term "flower" as used colloquially by mothers, refers to a bloom of mold in the child's mouth caused by decay of the contents. [1]
As early as 1802 a German physician, Christian Struve, described the sugar tit as "one of the most revolting customs".[2]
Due to widespread availability of inexpensive commercial baby pacifiers and the unpopularity of feeding babies "empty calories", as well as the damage caused to emerging teeth, sugar tits are a rarity today, at least in the United States and UK.[citation needed]

CASE recognizes Health Blueprint with award
The Southeast District of the Council for Advancement and Support of Education recently recognized The University of Virginia's College at Wise with its Special Merit Award in its Printed Publications category. The Southwest Virginia Health Authority's Blueprint for Health Improvement and Health-Enabled Prosperity was published by the College's Healthy Appalachia Institute (HAI), with support from the Appalachian Regional Commission. HAI is the Health Authority's strategic partner in overcoming geographic health disparities in Southwest Virginia.
The publication is a strategic blueprint that guides the work of the Health Authority, HAI, and the many partners who assisted in its development. In making the award, CASE noted that the publication was both "handsome and useful."
John Dreyzehner, M.D., vice chair of the Health Authority and director of the Cumberland Plateau Health District, thanked the many thoughtful and committed contributors to the Blueprint who helped make the CASE award possible.
Dreyzehner noted, "We hope this will further inspire our region and others beyond our region to think strategically about ways to foster, enhance or create opportunities to improve health and health-enabled prosperity. More than ever we need to understand how critical our personal and community health is to our economic competitiveness, our quality of life and how these very activities can enable sustainable local economies."
Marcia Quesenberry, co-director of the Healthy Appalachia Institute, added, "We appreciate this recognition by CASE, our partnership with the Health Authority, and the continuing support of the Appalachian Regional Commission. HAI considers the Blueprint its charge and work plan, and we are excited about what has been accomplished and the many opportunities yet to come."
For more information, please contact Kathy Still, director of news & media relations at The University of Virginia's College at Wise, at (276) 376-1027 or visit the Healthy Appalachia Institute on the Web at http://www.healthyappalachia.org/.

Mercy Moore does enough lecturing as a professor of English and reading at Broward Community College, "so this is going to be more of a chat," she says, "informal, interactive." During Soul Food for the Mind: A Smorgasbord of African-American Book Reviews and Dialects, she'll set quite a table and expects something from the audience in return. "Because I'm Baptist, I like to hear an 'amen' from the audience," she advises. The group will also react to poetry and prose readings from the works of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Langston Hughes, Sojourner Truth, Florida author Zora Neale Hurston, Nikki Giovanni, 1995 Poet Laureate Rita Dove, and, of course, Maya Angelou. "It would be like having a soul food meal without the corn muffins, to leave her out," Moore says. Soul Food is an installment of the African-American Book Review Series. The free event takes place at 7 p.m. at North Regional/BCC Library, 1100 Coconut Creek Blvd., Coconut Creek. Call 954-969-2600.
March 4
Voices of Native America is not a powwow. The multimedia show is a celebration of American Indian culture, yes, and as such features singing, dancing, and storytelling. But an orchestra and some special-effects lighting will also be on display. While it may sound like a big Broadway production, everything about the show is authentic. For example, flutist Douglas Spotted Eagle is Lakota and Navajo; singer-dancer Rob Greyhill is Navajo; and storyteller Gayle Ross is a direct descendant of John Ross, who led the Cherokee Nation on the infamous Trail of Tears. They're joined by a full contingent of dancers, musicians, and singers for updates of traditional music, the Cherokee-language version of Amazing Grace, and much more. Tonight's 8 p.m. performance takes place at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, 701 Okeechobee Blvd., West Palm Beach. Ticket prices range from $15 to $28. Call 800-572-8471 or 561-832-7469.

A friendly advice for dear Alty: keep the eagle away from the Apple, or keep the Apple in a volt (a chamber/locker won't have feeling for it...) but then a eagle is more fierce...
And I just wanted to know if you're the same person, because I've seen some other drawings with him.
Me: YOU ROCK, RA, I LOVE YOU!
Eagle: Ra?!

April 23rd:
Snoop Lion - Reincarnated
One of the most iconic figures in hip-hop underwent a personal and spiritual revolution last year when he embraced his inner Rastafarian self and changed his name to Snoop Lion. Look to his album (which you can now stream) to portray a man who seems to have found his true self in Jamaica and reinvent himself and his music.
April 23rd:
Talib Kweli - Prisoner of Conscious
Talib Kweli's fifth album has been delayed over the years but with a confirmed release date of April 23rd, fans of the Brooklyn MC are eager to hear what he has to offer. Expect political and societally conscious rhymes mixed in with Kweli's take on modern rap. With features from Kendrick Lamar, Busta Rhymes and Miguel amongst a whole host of other names, the 15-track album is guaranteed to be interesting, if nothing else.
May 21st:
French Montana - Excuse My French
Diddy and Rick Ross have executively produced the album which can only mean that the anxiousness that listeners have faced over this albums release will be cooled. Critics want to see if Montana is worth all the hype after his quick rise to fame last year and fans are thirsty for another project from Montana.
May 28th:
The-Dream - IV Play
Spending most of 2012 behind the scenes writing and producing for a whole host of artists, 2013 will see one of the best in the R&B game release a solo project that's guaranteed to please both critics and fans alike.
Big Sean - Hall of Fame
If there's an artist who can create a summer smash hit this year, Big Sean is that artist. Co-signed by Kanye and backed by G.O.O.D Music, Sean has all the qualities to create that smash hit especially since those verses on Cruel Summer and his Detroit mixtape were so well received. Critics, but more importantly fans, are starting to take him seriously, so now everyone is awaiting what Sean has in stock for everyone with Hall of Fame. He's already promised the record will be "more inspirational and a more conceptually-driven,", hinting at appearances from Kanye, Nas, Tyga, Common, and Jhene Aiko only wets our appetite for more.
June 25th:
Wale - The Gifted
The poet of the Maybach group, Wale's third solo project is highly anticipated as the rapper seems to only be getting better under the Rick Ross umbrella. Expect features from the rest of MMG, especially the likes of Rozay and Meek Mill but Wale's rhymes and lyrical content should satisfy listeners from start to finish. One of the most anticipated albums of the summer, it's being released at the perfect time for that coveted summer smash hit.
June 25th:
J. Cole - Born Sinner
One of the most talented MC's in the game, J. Cole stayed quiet last year - hopefully to work on his latest album. Already having been pushed back multiple times, the anticipation for this project is at an all-time high. With his voice and reputation firmly formed, Cole will look to his sophomore album for a bit more freedom creatively and lyrically. J. Cole has a classic album in him, it's a question of when he will deliver it; hopefully Born Sinner is that album.
Rumoured Summer Drop:
Earl Sweatshirt - Doris
Ever since then 16-year-old Earl dropped his self-titled debut album, fans and critics have been waiting patiently for a new project from the rapper, who is arguably Odd Future's most talented member. Though he blew everyone away with his lyrical content and beautiful use of the English language in his rhymes, expect a very different Earl three years later on Doris. Early signs of this matured Earl were revealed when he came back from Samoa last year and featured on multiple projects throughout the year, and now with two vastly different singles off of Doris already released, the hype is present for his album.
Earl is bound to get better as time goes on and assisted by his unique flow look for Doris to be one of the best projects of the year and a step in a mature direction for the entire Odd Future crew.
Rumoured Summer Drop:
Pusha T - My Name is My Name
Pusha T has been in the rap game for over two decades but after his astounding work as one half of Clipse, he went on to feature on several G.O.O.D projects but never released his own. The wait for his debut solo album ends this year as he's expected to release My Name is My Name sometime in the coming months. Expect significant contribution from the members of G.O.O.D music and with Yeezy producing most of the tracks, the album should not disappoint. It might even turn out to be one of the best of 2013.
Rumoured Summer Drop:
Danny Brown - Old
Danny Brown is rap's wildcard. Either listeners warmed up to him after years of him rapping or he tweaked himself with Fools Gold to deliver XXX in 2011 - an album that caught everyones attention and propelled him into international attention. With his animated delivery, matched with chaotic beats and an overall messy aesthetic somehow makes for an entertaining artist who can not only deliver solo tracks, but provide poignant guest verses.
There's no official release date for Old but the Detroit rapper has said it's mostly done. Expect features from A$AP Rocky, Purity Ring's Megan James, ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, and Rustie on an album that has everyone anticipating what the theatrical Danny Brown can do.
Rumored Summer Drop:
Mac Miller - Watching Movies With the Sound Off
Mac Miller is currently riding on a wave of success most people his age only dream of. With his reality show on MTV a current hit, his albums still selling and his hungry fan base constantly growing, the Philadelphia native's 2013 album is guaranteed to be a success. Not much is known of the album except that Earl Sweatshirt will make an appearance, and that the title comes from his favourite activity he does to relax. Mac also told Complex that his album is "very introspective and very personal" and it's "the most important project he's ever had." With his enormous and loyal fans behind him, Mac is sure to see this album way up high on the charts.
Rumored Summer Drop:
Black Hippy are one of the best crews in the game not only for their talent but their friendly competitiveness with one another. Since Kendrick dropped a classic in good kid, m.A.A.D. city, no other member has released a project with both Ab-Soul and ScHoolboy Q pushing back their anticipated albums to make it better. With Oxymoron releasing sometime this year, it'll truly be something special if Q can match Kendricks classic and it'll be interesting to see how he can expand on his style from Habits & Contradictions to Oxymoron like Kendrick did from Section.80 to GKMC. Expect features from collaborators A$AP Rocky, Danny Brown and all of Black Hippy to at least contribute a verse.
The first quarter of the year passed with barely a recognizable album drop but with Kid Cudi and Ghostface Killah releasing albums on the same day, HNHH decided to look at the Most Anticipated Albums of the Summer.
The first few months of 2013 passed with the hip-hop game in limbo, with a severe lack of albums that sparked everyone's attention. Weezys tenth album, I Am Not A Human Being II, was mediocre compared to his previous projects, A$AP Rocky's album, despite being exceptional was leaked late last year, weeks before its release date; several artists pushed their album release dates back extinguishing the thirst for them and other projects just fell by the wayside as there was no real promotion or anticipation for them.
It wasn't until Tyler, the Creator's third album, Wolf, released on April 2nd, that marked the beginning of a whole slew of albums to be released in the month of April and subsequent summer months. Artists look to drop their albums in the hot, summer months to cop that coveted summer single, but very few succeed. For hip-hop fans though, this means a lot of albums being released in the upcoming months and with several unconfirmed albums rumoured to be dropping this summer, keep your eyes and ears open on HNHH for the latest news on them.

ANSYS Engineering Knowledge Manager Individual Features
ANSYS Engineering Knowledge Manager (EKM) Individual is a single-user, local environment version of the web-based multi-user collaborative ANSYS EKM product. It is available as part of ANSYS 14.0 and can be accessed via the ANSYS Workbench environment or the web interface.
Intuitive User Interface
ANSYS EKM Individual offers an easy-to-use and intuitive user interface. A "Getting Started" wizard displays actions that you can perform when the application is launched, such as:
- Add content
- Search simulation files
- Create simulation details and comparison reports
Point to folders located on a local machine, or a mapped or shared network drive, and add content from these folder locations to the ANSYS EKM Individual repository. The properties and attributes are automatically extracted from the source files. Any time the source files are updated on a local disk or drive, the content is synchronized so that updated properties are available in ANSYS EKM Individual. Files indexed by ANSYS EKM Individual can be retrieved using keyword and advanced search features. The search criteria can be saved, edited and reused later.
Report Creation
ANSYS EKM Individual allows creation of simulation details and comparison reports. These reports help to translate the simulation intent into a user-friendly account that can be saved in a standard format, such as PDF and EXCEL, among others. Simulation files can be compared by creating a comparison report to help identify the best simulation from multiple candidates to meet current needs.
The searched and retrieved simulation files can be opened in associated applications directly from within ANSYS EKM Individual. For example, *.cas files will open in ANSYS Fluent software or ANSYS *.db files will open in ANSYS Mechanical APDL. The folder that contains the searched files can be opened on the mapped drive, shared drive or local computer.
Simulation Collaboration
The extensive simulation process and data management capabilities provided by the ANSYS EKM product can be leveraged directly from the ANSY Workbench environment. ANSYS Workbench provides the option of connecting to the local individual repository or a shared repository enabling CAE/simulation collaboration.
The ANSYS EKM file transfer client can be launched from the file menu in ANSYS Workbench, and files can be transferred from a local project to a central ANSYS EKM server database. By connecting to a shared ANSYS EKM repository to which other users have access, local simulation files can be easily shared to enhance collaboration, and files can be searched and retrieved to promote greater reuse.

As legend has it, John Kent Cooke was not given the chance to inherit the Washington Redskins from his father after he passed. The team was given to Jack Kent Cooke's foundation and auctioned off to the highest bidder because that was what Jack had put in his will. In an article by Mike Wise of the Washington post back in October of 2009 — when the Redskins were at their lowest of lows during the decade with the three amigos, Dan, Vinny and Jimmy — Wise got the only interview ever with John Kent Cooke about what happened in the late 1990s and why he didn't receive the team from his father like Jack had wanted most of his life. John Kent Cooke had to become a bidder at an auction for the Washington Redskins. John thinks if his father had lived a little longer he could have gotten the purchase of the Washington Redskins done and the team would have stayed in the Cooke family forever. He just didn't have time to get it done. As Mike Wise writes it, Cooke had a meeting with Snyder. He thought he would be gaining a minority partner but Snyder told Cooke was going to purchase the team outright. Obviously, that didn't sit well with John and he never wanted anything to so with Dan Snyder again. What transpired after that led to one of the most dysfunctional decades the Washington Redskin fan base had seen of their team in nearly 1/2 a century. Dan Snyder and his purchasing group won the auction to own the Washington Redskins. A lot of Snyder apologist say, how do we know John Kent Cooke would have been any better? Well my friends, I assure you John Kent Cooke would have been so much better for the Washington Redskins than Dan Snyder. Cooke wouldn't have had his hands in the cookie jar, especially not in 1999 and 2000 when Snyder destroyed a NFC East division and playoff winning (nearly NFCG attending) team. Cooke wouldn't have fired Charlie Casserly (who had finally figured out the new drafting and FA era after a decade of getting a lot wrong). Cooke would not have hired a low level scout named Vinny Cerrato (or puppet as us Redskins fans like to call him) to head up his player personnel department and eventually (although unqualified) become General Manager of the team. Norv Turner would have been kept for a few more years unless he was just not progressing the team after we had won the division in 1999 and then come back with the same team the next two years and not won or something. We would have had continuity the way we do now and the way we had in 05 after making the playoffs. Everything would have been different. In 2000 I'm not sure how much would have been different, we had a lot of bad injuries that year like Michael Westbrook tearing his ACL. Still though, Norv wouldn't have been the only coach in NFL history to basically be fired in front of his team by a stuck little prick of an owner, essentially at a halftime of a game in Dallas stadium when we still could have won the game and could have made the playoffs. I doubt John Kent Cooke would have went in to our locker room and yelled at his coach so the players could hear the argument at the half. Snyder made our head coach look like the smallest person on the planet in the biggest game of the year. That was the end of the season right there, and we had a winning record at the time! I forget what Snyder suggested (Steve Czaban talks about it every once in a while) but I believe he told Norv to bench Brad Johnson — our division winning and playoff game winning WB from just the year before — and put Jeff George in and make other personnel moves or game plan moves Snyder wanted at half time. It was effin insane! With John Kent Cooke at the helm this team would have been better last decade and would be better today. The Redskins would not have traded Champ Bailey, the Redskins would not have screwed over Lavar Arrington, re-signed our own players (not other teams FAs) like James Thrash, Antonio Pierce, and Ryan Clark. The Redskins would not have given huge contracts to Adam Archuleta and Albert Haynesworth. They would have been a lot more respected around the league amongst other owners and I can assure you something like "cap gate" would have never happened NOR the Vinny Cerrato decade long mistake. So, I assure you Redskins fans, if John Kent Cooke still owned the Redskins today, things would have been better over the past thirteen years and especially today for the Washington Redskins. "I want to be buried in a burgundy-and-gold coffin. And when I'm gone, someone named Cooke is going to run this team. And when he's gone, someone else named Cooke is going to run this team." — Jack Kent Cooke, 1992 My, my, my…. how things would have been different Mr. Cooke. I wish you would have stood firm to those words you had in 1992. Related posts: 10 Free Agents The Redskins Should Go After John Wall And The Wizards Are On A Tear!

Hedges v. Obama
Listen to Black Agenda Radio on the Progressive Radio Network, with Glen Ford and Nellie Bailey – Week of 5/5/14
Seattle Activists Vow to Put $15 Wage on Ballot
"We can't wait seven years for workers to get relief," said Jess Spear, organizing director for the campaign by 15 Now and the Socialist Alternative Party to immediately raise most wages in Seattle to $15 an hour. A counter-proposal by Mayor Ed Murray's hand-picked committee, unveiled last week, would phase-in $15 over a 4 to 7 year period, with no cost-of-living increases until the first phase-ins are complete. Spear said the fact that the mayor had to present even a watered-down version of $15 an hour proves that "movements really get things done and change the conversation." The Socialist Alternative Party's Kshama Sawant won a Seattle city council seat, last year, on a $15 platform, igniting a groundswell of support for the wage hike. Spears said 15 Now will go ahead with a drive to collect 50,000 signatures to put its own, much stronger proposal on the ballot.
Benton Harbor Activist Under House Arrest
Back in 2008, Rev. Edward Pinkney, a longtime community leader in mostly Black Benton Harbor, Michigan, became the first person in living memory to be imprisoned for quoting the Bible – in this case, on contempt charges in an elections law trial. Last week, 35 to 40 armed sheriff's deputies came to arrest Rev. Pinkney on charges related to a recall petition against the city's mayor, an ally of the giant Whirlpool Corporation. "They were losing 5 to 1, and they knew they had to do something to stop this [recall] election," said Pinkney, who is confined to his home, forced to wear a GPS finder, and barred from working on his computer. The recall election has been called off until after adjudication of Pinkney's case. Activists plan to protest at the Whirlpool-sponsored senior PGA tournament, in Benton Harbor, later this month. "We're gonna have more people there, now, than ever before," said Pinkney.
Supreme Court Justices "Burning the House Down"
Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to even consider an appeal of Hedges v. Obama, the suit against preventive detention of U.S. citizens without charge or trial. "It's not simply that the court is turning a blind eye to constitutional rights," said Shahid Buttar, executive director of the Bill of Rights Defense Committee. "It's also the case that the court is hamstringing itself and diminishing judicial independence and inhibiting the extent to which future courts will be able to rein in similar abuses." By failing to curb executive and legislative branch assaults on constitutional rights, "these judges are, basically, burning the house down," said Buttar.
Mumia, Street: Institutional Racism is the Deeper Cut
Billionaire Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling was near-universally denounced for private, racist remarks, yet institutional racism remains as deep as ever, sanctioned by majorities of Americans. "It's interesting that you have this incident, and the shaming of Sterling, just a week after the Supreme Court hands down another absolutely terrible decision on affirmative action," said historian and activist Paul Street. "These dramas become kinds of rituals of white self-congratulation that feed the narrative that we're in a post-racial society, and tend to render the deeper institutional societal racism more invisible than it already was," said Street.
The nation's best known political prisoner, Mumia Abu Jamal, made the same point in a commentary for Prison Radio: "Which story will affect the greatest number of Black lives – the anguished insecurities of a rich old man trying to exert control over his beautiful young lover, or the tortured reasoning of a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court, essentially closing the doors of college to millions? Which are more relevant? Which are more racist?
Stop-and-Frisk Still in Effect in NYC
New York City cops continue to racially profile and confront young Black and brown men despite the fact that Bill de Blasio has replaced Michael Bloomberg at City Hall. De Blasio brought back former police commissioner Bill Bratton, an architect of stop-and-frisk. "The political incentives changed from Bloomberg to de Blasio, but the actual effect on people's lives did not," said Josmar Trujillo, of New Yorkers Against Bratton. Now that stop-and-frisk is officially frowned upon, "police simply won't write down every interaction and stop anymore." People are getting "a false sense of reform."
Cornel West to Support Dr. Anthony Monteiro at Temple University
Dr. Cornel West and others will join a student-community coalition demonstration on Thursday, May 8, to demand that Temple University reinstate Dr. Anthony Monteiro, the adjunct African American Studies professor whose contract was terminated earlier this year with the assent of department chairman Dr. Molefi Asante. Students last week staged a sit-in at the Philadelphia campus's administrative offices, and later met with the university provost and the dean of liberal arts. "They basically told us it was Dr. Asante's decision not to bring back Dr. Monteiro," said student activist Paul Conge, a political science major who has studied under Monteiro. Asante "wanted to move to an African cultural nationalist type of department." Asante recently told a radio audience that Dr. Monteiro's student supporters were all "white communists" – a charge that is both untrue and smacks of "McCarthyism," said Conge. Asante's version of "Afro-centricity allows him to be a proponent of capitalism – Black capitalism, Black-on-Black exploitation. He really does not care about economic exploitation."

Preventive Detention and the Death of the Democratic State
by Chris Hedges
The author, a journalist and plaintiff in a suit contesting the constitutionality of President Obama's preventive detention law, asks: "Could I be seen by the security and surveillance state, because I challenge the official narrative, as a collaborator with the enemy?" The answer is: Yes – and so could you.

The HP LaserJet Pro 400 M425dn was announced in 2012 as HP's first web-connected multifunction monochrome printer along with its single function counterpart, the LaserJet Pro 400 M401dn. We reviewed the LaserJet Pro 400 M401dn and now it's time to share our full review of the LaserJet Pro 400 M425dn.
One of two configurations, the 4-in-1 LaserJet Pro 400 M425dn offers print speeds up to 35 ppm, a print resolution up to 1200 x 1200 dpi, a monthly duty cycle up to 50,000 pages, web-connected applications, HP ePrint, a front side USB port, 50-sheet ADF and built-in Ethernet. The LaserJet Pro 400 M425dw offers all of the above plus wireless connectivity for an additional $30.
Build and Design
HP sticks with the black paneling and sleek design we've seen on past LaserJet models for the LaserJet Pro 400 M425dn. The dimensions come in approximately at 17 x 15 x 17 inches in non use, but you'll need to consider the multipurpose tray, legal-size tray extension and the ADF when setting up the M425dn because they'll increase the dimensions to approximately 17 x 25 x 26 inches in use.
The 50-sheet automatic document feeder is located on top of the flatbed scanner and offers users automatic double-sided scans, copies and faxes up to 8.5 x 14 inches. The flatbed scanners maximum scan size is up to 8.5 x 11.7 inches.
As the first web-connected monochrome MFP in HP's laser lineup, the M425dn has a 3.5-inch color touchscreen control panel and comes with a variety of business applications that can be configured by the customer. The control panel is located to the right of the 150-sheet output bin.
Press the button located at the front of the output bin to gain access to the single black toner cartridge. The M425dn comes with the standard capacity 80A cartridge, but customers can also purchase a high capacity 80X replacement cartridge.
The 50-sheet multipurpose tray folds out from the front of the MFP while the 250-sheet cassette pulls out from the bottom. The cassette can extend to fit media up to legal size, and businesses that have a larger print volume can add a 500-sheet cassette.
The front side USB port is located to the left of the paper tray and allows users to walk up to the M425dn and print from or scan to a flash drive.
All the connections are found on the back of the M425dn and access to the paper path.

Introducing Zope
Now that we have started Zope, how do we use it? Well, the first and most important step is to fire up our web browser and point it to our computer, giving it the URL http://localhost:8080/. This displays some initial Zope information, including pointers to documentation and web sites.
Let's leave this introductory screen behind, moving instead to the main Zope management interface at http://localhost:8080/manage. You will be prompted to enter the username and password for a site manager; use the admin user and the password that the install script printed out when you first installed Zope.
Once you have entered the correct password, your browser window will be divided into two vertical frames: the left-hand side displays the hierarchy of your Zope server, while the right-hand side displays the details of the object you are currently viewing.
It's easy to understand what happens when you ask an Apache server for the document /foo/bar. Apache looks for a file named bar in the foo directory underneath its document root. If such a file exists, then Apache reads it from disk and returns its content in an HTTP response. If the file is a CGI program, then it executes the program and returns its output in an HTTP response. And if the file does not exist, Apache returns an error message to the user's browser.
Zope interprets URLs quite differently; the URL /foo/bar is interpreted as a request for Zope to invoke a display method on the bar object inside of the foo object. If either foo or bar does not exist, then Zope will return an error message indicating that no such object can be found in ZODB.
If we always had to worry about creating objects and writing display methods, then Zope would be a high-powered toy for programmers. Luckily for us, Zope lets us almost pretend that ZODB is a hierarchical filesystem into which we are placing our HTML files and graphics.
For example, we can create a simple HTML file using nothing more than our web browser. While inside of Zope's root folder (to which you can always return by clicking in the upper left-hand side of the browser's left frame), create a new document by choosing DTML Document from the "Select type to add..." selection list in the top right-hand corner. (As we will soon see, DTML—Document Template Markup Language—is Zope's superset of HTML; Zope almost always refers to DTML documents rather than HTML documents.)
Your web browser should now display a short HTML form with three elements:
The id text field. Every object in Zope has an ID, and IDs must be unique within a folder. IDs are analogous to filenames on a disk, and they are used to identify objects within a URL. In the URL /foo/bar, foo is the ID of a folder object, while bar is the ID of an object within that folder. Zope documents traditionally don't have suffixes (e.g., .html and .gif); because the system knows what type of object is associated with each ID, such a suffix would be redundant.
The title text field. The object's ID appears in URLs, but the object's title appears in all of the internal Zope management screens. (The object's title has nothing to do with the HTML <title> tag, which you still will have to create.)
The file element allows you to upload a file from your local computer using HTTP uploads. This means that you can create a DTML file on your local computer and upload it to Zope when you are ready for testing.
For the purposes of this example, we will enter an ID of testdoc, and a title of "Test document". While we simply could add this document to ZODB, that would leave it empty. Thus, we will click on the "Add and edit" button, which gives us a text area with some default content:
<dtml-var standard_html_header>
<dtml-var title_or_id>

 This is the <dtml-var id> Document.
 <dtml-var standard_html_footer>
You can edit the contents however you want within this text area. When you have finished, click on the save changes button at the bottom of the screen. This button brings you back to the editing window but adds a reminder indicating when the document was last modified.
Our DTML document looks very much like HTML, except that it includes several tags that begin with <dtml-var>. DTML is actually a programming language that lets you do all sorts of things, but it is probably easiest (and best) to think of it as a very strong server-side include mechanism. As demonstrated in this sample document, <dtml-var> lets you insert dynamic values into the current document. Thus <dtml-var standard_html_header> inserts the contents of the object with the ID of standard_html_header, while <dtml-var id> inserts the ID of the current document. As you can imagine, <dtml-var title_or_id> displays either the title or the ID, depending on whether a title has been defined.
When Zope encounters the expression <dtml-var standard_html_header>, it looks in the current folder for an object with the ID standard_html_header. If such an object exists, then the <dtml-var> tag is replaced with the object's viewable contents. If no such object exists, then Zope repeats its search in the enclosing folder. In this way, Zope works its way up the entire hierarchy until it reaches the root folder.
This means that automatically inserted headers and footers depend not only on our <dtml-var> tags, but also on the location of our DTML document. The notion that an object's location in the object hierarchy affects its output is known as acquisition in the Zope world, and it is both important and useful. Using acquisition, you can have a different set of headers and footers for each folder. Moving a document from one folder to another changes the search path that Zope uses when looking for headers, footers and other objects. The behavior of an object in Zope thus depends not only on its definition, but also on its location in the object hierarchy. For this reason, acquisition is sometimes explained as analogous to the "nature vs. nurture" debate in biology: an object's definition can be seen as "nature", while its location in the object hierarchy can be seen as "nurture".
To view the current contents of the document, click on the view tab at the top of the frame. You will see the document's contents exactly as a user would want. To edit the document once again, I find it easiest to click on the "Root folder" link in the top-left corner, select the testdoc object and then edit things once more using the text area.
If you make a mistake while editing a DTML document, you will be happy to know that Zope provides infinite undo. Click on the undo tab on the top right of the DTML editing screen, and select the version to which you want to return. Infinite undo is one of my favorite features in Zope, not only because it allows me to undo my mistakes, but because it's so easily accessible to nonprogrammers, and it works with any kind of object on the system.
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.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)According to study, very few Americans have 'healthy' hearts
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
December 28th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) If you're concerned that you may lag behind in physical fitness and optimal heart health, don't feel bad. According to a new medical study, a mere three percent of all Americans have optimal heart health, while 10 percent have poor heart health. Those are the rather depressing findings from the American Heart Association. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The District of Columbia has the highest percentage of people with ideal heart health at 6.9 percent. That average is followed by Vermont with 5.5 percent. Virginia comes in third place at five percent. The states with the lowest percentage of people in ideal heart health are Oklahoma, at 1.2 percent, followed by West Virginia and Mississippi, both at 1.5 percent.The recent findings were compiled from a 2009 survey of more than 350,000 Americans that collected information on seven indicators of heart health. Those considered at optimal heart health met the following criteria: They did not have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes; they were not overweight, underweight or obese; they did not smoke; they did at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity a week; and they ate five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day. The maximum score was 7, and the average was 4.4. People living in New England and western states had higher instances of people with ideal heart health than did people hailing from southern states. The study proved that the heart health of Americans varies dramatically by state, the researchers said. The study estimates could be used to help states set goals for improving heart health in their areas, they said. The study excluded people with coronary heart disease and stroke due to risk factors for heart disease in this population differ from those in people who don't have a history of CHD or stroke. The findings were totally based on people's self-reports. As a result, the study could have overestimated the percentage of people in ideal heart health if individuals didn't know they had a certain condition.

Visions of Tomorrow
- Posted by Johanna on October 2, 2010 at 1:43 pm
- Category: Books and Prose
- CREDITS: edited by Thomas A. Easton and Judith K. Dial; introduction by Robert Silverberg
- PUBLISHER: Skyhorse Publishing; $12.95 US
Science Fiction Predictions That Came True
Skyhorse Publishing has brought out a reprint collection of classic science fiction stories that demonstrate my favorite part of the genre: when imaginative writers manage to hit on something that later happens.
Robert Silverberg's introduction discusses that element directly, in a piece titled "Science Fiction as Prophecy", although he points out just how often speculation goes terribly wrong. The examples he provides, with the most famous being Robert Heinlein's Destination Moon, are thought-provoking. And really, it's not surprising that with so many science fiction stories written during the heyday of the genre, the same period of time with a great amount of invention and technological development, that some of them happened to get some things right. On one level — and not to minimize the work that skilled writers do with research and extrapolation — the odds were on their side to get some percentage correct. As Silverberg says:
… we find a few remarkably good guesses embedded in an enormous mass of error and short-sightedness. Many nineteenth-century writers anticipated the airplane, but no one, apparently, foresaw the internal combustion engine, the radio, or motion pictures.
Silverberg goes on to describe one of the very best predictions, Murray Leinster's "A Logic Named Joe". He managed to describe computers, the internet, and modern privacy concerns in a 1946 story included in this book — an inclusion that makes Silverberg's 2 1/2-page description a bit irrelevant, but so be it. The stories are grouped into five sections:
- Predictions that have already happened — a Poe, a Wells, the Cleve Cartmill "Deadline" that convinced 1944 military intelligence that our atomic bomb plans had leaked, and "The Prize of Peril" by Robert Sheckley. That one's described as being about reality TV, but it's closer to The Running Man or Network.
- Prototypes that have been built — described as a "laser mosquito zapper" and "chip-controlled animals".
- Computer-related predictions — the story described above, plus Gregory Benford's "Scarred Man" (internet virus, an early form) and two from this decade about identity theft and stalking.
- Biological predictions — three stories, including one by the only woman featured, Vonda N. McIntyre with "Misprint".
- Future predictions — two stories, about cloning and a space elevator, that haven't come true yet.
The theme of the book is stronger than its execution. I like the idea of the story introductions, that tell when each first appeared and briefly discuss the prediction, but they tend to be too slight and general, as though they were researched through Wikipedia. The story selection disappointed me. A total of three sections — the last, next to last, and the prototypes one — describe things that seem plausible but haven't really come true yet, at least not in any widespread or popular form. Meanwhile, the Preface describes several famous story examples that aren't included. While the list might be provided to be helpful, I found it taunting. For all the mention of Heinlein, there's nothing by him, nor Verne or Bradbury.
I found many of the stories included neither particularly outstanding as stories nor exemplary representatives of the book's theme. I would have rather had older stories that featured better known technology than these more current stories that don't provide as much societal contrast between what they were predicting and what actually came about. This interview with the editors suggests that perhaps some of their first choices didn't make it in due to "trouble arranging reprint permissions". (The publisher provided a review copy.)
