The Senate on Wednesday voted down a repeal of President Obama's healthcare act along party lines, 47-51.
The vote came two weeks to the day the Republican House voted 245-189 to repeal the law, and just days after a federal judge ruled Obama's signature legislative achievement unconstitutional.
The vote came on a budgetary point of order, which Republicans needed 60 votes to overcome. Democrats argued repealing healthcare would add an estimated $230 billion to the deficit, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) called that estimate "preposterous."
McConnell was trying to add an amendment repealing the healthcare law to legislation reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration.
Neither the result nor vote breakdown was a surprise. No Democrats in attendance voted in favor of the measure and no Republicans rejected it. Sens. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) were absent for the vote.
Just before the vote on the budgetary point of order, the Senate did vote to repeal an unpopular part of the healthcare overhaul that requires businesses to report to the IRS annual purchases of goods and services of more than $600 from each vendor.
The Senate voted 81-17 to eliminate the 1099-reporting requirement, with only Democrats voting against the measure.
Republicans have acknowledged their goal with the vote was to get Democrats on record as defending a law that remains deeply unpopular with large swaths of the public. Twenty-three Senate Democrats are up for reelection in 2012, and many of them face tough races.
"I think the American people understand fully this issue and they know for sure where Democrats and Republicans are," McConnell said after the vote.
Republicans have vowed to pursue their attacks on the law until the next election, when they hope to have enough Senate votes to repeal it. In the meantime, they've announced plans to withhold funding for its implementation and have introduced multiple bills to repeal bits and pieces, such as the individual mandate or the Medicare payment board.
On Tuesday, Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and John Barasso (R-Wyo.) introduced legislation that would allow states to opt out of many provisions of the law, including its individual mandate. The goal, Graham acknowledged, is to make reform fail so lawmakers "would have to replace it with something that made more sense."
Graham vowed to bring up the provision as often as possible.
"If we're going to vote on naming a post office this year, you're going to be voting on this," Graham said. "We're going to bring this up every time we can."
The fate of the healthcare law seems likely to be decided by the Supreme Court. Two judges have ruled the bill's mandate that people have insurance, which would require many consumers to buy insurance, is unconstitutional. Two other judges have ruled it passes constitutional muster.
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) on Wednesday called for his colleagues to support a resolution fast-tracking legal challenges to the Supreme Court.
"The vote to repeal healthcare is largely symbolic because the Supreme Court is going to have to be the one to decide this matter," Nelson said Wednesday. "We ought to do the right thing and ask the high court to rule quickly so we don't keep arguing over this for the next several years."
The Obama administration, however, has said it would appeal Monday's decision to an appeals court where it feels confident it will prevail.
In contrast to the party-line Senate vote, a handful of Democrats joined unified Republicans in voting to repeal the law in the House last month.
When healthcare was approved by the Senate last year, every Democrat voted in favor in a 60-39 vote. On Wednesday, most Democratic senators were wary of being tarred as flip-floppers, and freshman Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), a vocal critic, said he wanted a chance to fix the law before repealing it.
McConnell has previously said Republicans owed voters who returned them to power in the House and increased their numbers in the Senate a vote on healthcare.

Recommendations for teaching practices
During the infant and toddler years.
Children need relationships with caring adults who engage in many one-on-one, face-to-face interactions with them to support their oral language development and lay the foundation for later literacy learning. Important experiences and teaching behaviors include but are not limited to
- talking to babies and toddlers with simple language, frequent eye contact, and responsiveness to children's cues and language attempts;
- frequently playing with, talking to, singing to, and doing fingerplays with very young children;
- sharing cardboard books with babies and frequently reading to toddlers on the adult's lap or together with one or two other children; and
- providing simple art materials such as crayons, markers, and large paper for toddlers to explore and manipulate.
During the preschool years
Young children need developmentally appropriate experiences and teaching to support literacy learning. These include but are not limited to
- positive, nurturing relationships with adults who engage in responsive conversations with individual children, model reading and writing behavior, and foster children's interest in and enjoyment of reading and writing;
- print-rich environments that provide opportunities and tools for children to see and use written language for a variety of purposes, with teachers drawing children's attention to specific letters and words;
- adults' daily reading of high-quality books to individual children or small groups, including books that positively reflect children's identity, home language, and culture;
- opportunities for children to talk about what is read and to focus on the sounds and parts of language as well as the meaning;
- teaching strategies and experiences that develop phonemic awareness, such as songs, fingerplays, games, poems, and stories in which phonemic patterns such as rhyme and alliteration are salient;
- opportunities to engage in play that incorporates literacy tools, such as writing grocery lists in dramatic play, making signs in block building, and using icons and words in exploring a computer game; and
- firsthand experiences that expand children's vocabulary, such as trips in the community and exposure to various tools, objects, and materials.
In kindergarten and primary grades
Teachers should continue many of these same good practices with the goal of continually advancing children's learning and development (see the continuum of reading and writing development for appropriate grade-level expectations). In addition every child is entitled to excellent instruction in reading and writing that includes but is not limited to
- daily experiences of being read to and independently reading meaningful and engaging stories and informational texts;
- a balanced instructional program that includes systematic code instruction along with meaningful reading and writing activities;
- daily opportunities and teacher support to write many kinds of texts for different purposes, including stories, lists, messages to others, poems, reports, and responses to literature;
- writing experiences that allow the flexibility to use nonconventional forms of writing at first (invented or phonic spelling) and over time move to conventional forms;
- opportunities to work in small groups for focused instruction and collaboration with other children;
- an intellectually engaging and challenging curriculum that expands knowledge of the world and vocabulary; and
- adaptation of instructional strategies or more individualized instruction if the child fails to make expected progress in reading or when literacy skills are advanced.
Although experiences during the earliest years of life can have powerful long-term consequences, human beings are amazingly resilient and incredibly capable of learning throughout life. We should strengthen our resolve to ensure that every child has the benefit of positive early childhood experiences that support literacy development. At the same time, regardless of children's prior learning, schools have the responsibility to educate every child and to never give up even if later interventions must be more intensive and costly.
Recommended policies essential for achieving developmentally appropriate literacy experiences
Early childhood programs and elementary schools in the United States operate in widely differing contexts with varying levels of funding and resources. Regardless of the resources available, professionals have an ethical responsibility to teach, to the best of their ability, according to the standards of the profession. Nevertheless, the kinds of practices advocated here are more likely to be implemented within an infrastructure of supportive policies and resources. IRA and NAEYC strongly recommend that the following policies be developed and adequately funded at the appropriate state or local levels:
1. A comprehensive, consistent system of early childhood professional preparation and ongoing professional development (see Darling-Hammond 1997; Kagan & Cohen 1997).
Such a professional preparation system is badly needed in every state to ensure that staff in early childhood programs and teachers in primary schools obtain specialized, college-level education that informs them about developmental patterns in early literacy learning and about research-based ways of teaching reading and writing during the early childhood years. On-going professional development is essential for teachers to stay current in an ever-expanding research base and to continually improve their teaching skills and the learning outcomes for children.
2. Sufficient resources to ensure adequate ratios of qualified teachers to children and small groups for individualizing instruction.
For four- and five-year-olds, adult-child ratios should be no more than 1 adult for 8 to 10 children, with a maximum group size of 20 (Howes, Phillips, & Whitebook 1992; Cost, Quality, and Child Outcomes Study Team 1995). Optimum class size in the early grades is 15 to 18 with one teacher (Nye et al. 1992; Nye, Boyd-Zaharias, & Fulton 1994). Young children benefit most from being taught in small groups or as individuals. There will always be a wide range of individual differences among children. Small class size increases the likelihood that teachers will be able to accommodate children's diverse abilities and interests, strengths and needs.
3. Sufficient resources to ensure classrooms, schools, and public libraries that include a wide range of high-quality children's books, computer software, and multimedia resources at various levels of difficulty and reflecting various cultural and family backgrounds.
Studies have found that a minimum of five books per child is necessary to provide even the most basic print-rich environment (Morrow & Weinstein 1986; Neuman & Roskos 1997). Computers and developmentally appropriate software should also be available to provide alternative, engaging, enriching literacy experiences (NAEYC 1996b).
4. Policies that promote children's continuous learning progress.
When individual children do not make expected progress in literacy development, resources should be available to provide more individualized instruction, focused time, tutoring by trained and qualified tutors, or other individualized intervention strategies. These instructional strategies are used to accelerate children's learning instead of either grade retention or social promotion, neither of which has been proven effective in improving children's achievement (Shepard & Smith 1988).
5. Appropriate assessment strategies that promote children's learning and development.
Teachers need to regularly and systematically use multiple indicators--observation of children's oral language, evaluation of children's work, and performance at authentic reading and writing tasks--to assess and monitor children's progress in reading and writing development, plan and adapt instruction, and communicate with parents (Shepard, Kagan, & Wurtz 1998). Group-administered, multiple-choice standardized achievement tests in reading and writing skills should not be used before third grade or preferably even before fourth grade. The younger the child, the more difficult it is to obtain valid and reliable indices of his or her development and learning using one-time test administrations. Standardized testing has a legitimate function, but on its own it tends to lead to standardized teaching--one approach fits all--the opposite of the kind of individualized diagnosis and teaching that is needed to help young children continue to progress in reading and writing.
6. Access to regular, ongoing health care for every child.
Every young child needs to have a regular health care provider as well as screening for early diagnosis and treatment of vision and hearing problems. Chronic untreated middle-ear infections in the earliest years of life may delay language development, which in turn may delay reading development (Vernon-Feagans, Emanuel, & Blood 1992). Similarly, vision problems should never be allowed to go uncorrected, causing a child difficulty with reading and writing.
7. Increased public investment to ensure access to high-quality preschool and child care programs for all children who need them.
The National Academy of Sciences (Snow, Burns, & Griffin 1998) and decades of longitudinal research (see, for example, Barnett 1995) demonstrate the benefits of preschool education for literacy learning. Unfortunately, there is no system to ensure accessible, affordable, high-quality early childhood education programs for all families who choose to use them (Kagan & Cohen 1997). As a result, preschool attendance varies considerably by family income; for example, 80% of four-year-olds whose families earn more than $50,000 per year attend preschool compared to approximately 50% of four-year-olds attending preschool from families earning less than $20,000 (NCES 1996). In addition, due primarily to inadequate funding, the quality of preschool and child care programs varies considerably, with studies finding that the majority of programs provide only mediocre quality and that only about 15% rate as good quality (Layzer, Goodson, & Moss 1993; Galinsky et al. 1994; Cost, Quality, & Child Outcomes Study Team 1995).

Currently deployed units and those behind them are fully trained and equipped, the services say. But those next in line "aren't doing much." The fiscal 2013 budget also may be too little, too late in some ship repair and maintenance efforts.
DoD's 2014 budget: Fewer civilians, higher retiree health fees
The Defense Department's 2014 budget proposal reduces the size of the civilian workforce slightly, increases TRICARE premiums, and requests another round of base closures. It also calls for a slight raise for both civilian employees and uniformed servicemembers. The budget significantly exceeds the Defense spending caps in current law.
Navy mandates partial migration to commercial cloud
A new memo from Navy Chief Information Officer Terry Halvorsen tells the Navy and Marine Corps to move public-facing data to commercial cloud service providers.

Sequestration treadmill picking up steam across DoD
The automatic budget cuts set to occur under sequestration will go into effect as a matter of law on Friday. But their full impact won't be felt until late this spring, long after lawmakers encounter the next budget showdown.
Marine survey lists concerns on women in combat
Male Marines listed being falsely accused of sexual harassment or assault as a top concern in a survey about moving women into combat jobs, and thousands indicated the change could prompt them to leave the service altogether.

William Pretzer of the National Museum of African American History and Culture talks about trolling the inauguration for presidential memorabilia.
Navy: Random alcohol tests for sailors in US
The Navy said Wednesday it will conduct random blood-alcohol tests on its sailors in the United States starting next month, a sign of how concerned the service's leaders have become about the effects alcohol abuse is having on the force.

I want you to know how much we have enjoyed [caregiver] and what a godsend she has been -- very calming, speaks softly, and doesn't let Mom get the best of her. I had to take Mom to the doctor on Monday and [caregiver] went with us. I couldn't have made it without her. Mom is harder to get along with these days which I know is common as health problems worsen but it was really beneficial to have [caregiver] "voice of reason". Mom really responded to her and that took the pressure off of me. Having [caregiver] is such a relief to me.

eCrash: Debugging without Core Dumps
So, what does the crash handler look like? To get a backtrace, the first thing we need to do is grab our signals. Some of the common ones are SIGSEGV, SIGILL and SIGBUS. Additionally, abort() is usually called in the case of an assertion and generates a SIGABRT.
Then, when a signal occurs, we need to save our backtrace. The following snippet details a simple backtrace function that displays the backtrace to standard output when a crash happens:
void signal_handler(int signo) { void *stack[20]; int count, i; // Shouldn't use printf . . . oh well printf("Caught signal %d\n"); count = backtrace(stack, 20); for (i=0; i < count; i++) { printf("Frame %2d: %p\n", i+1, stack[i]); } } int main(...) { ... signal(SIGBUS, signal_handler); signal(SIGILL, signal_handler); signal(SIGSEGV, signal_handler); signal(SIGABRT, signal_handler); } Caught signal 11 Frame 1: 0x401a84 Frame 2: 0x401d88 ...
And, here is a similar signal handler, but one that uses backtrace_symbols to print out a prettier backtrace:
void signal_handler(int signo) { void *stack[20]; char **functions; int count, i; // Shouldn't use printf . . . oh well printf("Caught signal %d\n"); count = backtrace(stack, 20); functions = backtrace_symbols(stack, count); for (i=0; i < count; i++) { printf("Frame %2d: %s\n", i, functions[i]); } free(functions); } Caught signal 11 Frame 1: ./a.out [0x401a84] Frame 2: ./a.out [0x401bfa] ...
As I was writing this article, I realized that this was about the fifth time I had written a crash handler. (Why can't all software be open source?) So, I decided to write a quick library to handle crash dumps and provide it for this article. I liked the little library I started with, but I found myself needing more and more features. As I kept extending it, I realized that it was a very useful library, that I wanted to be able to leverage on any future project!
I named the new library eCrash and created a SourceForge site for it (see Resources). Since then, I have been extending it, and it now supports dumping multiple threads—using only backtrace, using backtrace and backtrace_symbols, and using backtrace with a user-supplied symbol table to avoid the malloc() inside of backtrace_symbols. The rest of the examples in this article are going to be leveraging eCrash.
eCrash is relatively simple to use. You first call eCrash_Init() from your parent thread. If you have a single-threaded program, you are already finished. A backtrace will be delivered based on your settings in the parameters structure.
If you have a multithreaded program, any thread that wants to be backtraced in a crash (other than the crashing thread) must also call eCrash_RegisterThread(). It is sometimes useful to dump the stacks of all threads when a crash occurs, not only the crashing thread's stack.
With eCrash, you specify where the output should go by setting file descriptors (async safe writes), FILE * streams (not async safe), and/or a filename of the file to output when a crash occurs. eCrash will write to all destinations supplied.
Obtaining the stack from a thread that did not crash is a bit trickier. When a thread registers, it specifies a signal that the thread does not catch or block. eCrash registers a handler for that signal (called the Backtrace Signal).
When eCrash needs to dump a thread (when some other thread has caused an exception), it sends the thread the Backtrace Signal via pthread_kill(). When that signal is caught, the thread saves its backtrace to a global area and continues on. The main exception handler can then read the stack and display it.
What we end up with is a very nice-looking crash dump, showing exactly what was happening in the system when the failure occurred.
Enough talking—time for some meat. Now, let's take what we have discussed and put it to work. We are going to use the ecrash_test program included in eCrash. That program was designed to break in any one of its threads (generate a segmentation violation by attempting to write to a NULL pointer).
We execute the test program with the following flags:
ecrash_test --num_threads=5 --thread_to_crash=3
This causes the test program to generate five threads. All but thread number 3 will call a few functions, then go to sleep. Thread 3 will call a few functions (to make the backtrace interesting) and crash.
The crash file generated is shown in Listing 1 and backtrace_symbols() in Listing 2. Due to space constraints, all listings for this article are available on the Linux Journal FTP site (ftp.linuxjournal.com/pub/lj/listings/issue149/8724.tgz).
The crash file has the backtrace of our offending thread (the one that caused the segmentation violation) and the backtraces of all threads on the system.
Now it's time to debug the crash. We will debug this as if the crash happened at a remote site and the system administrator e-mailed you this crash file.
One last thing: in the real world, the executables always are stripped of debugging information. But, that is okay. As long as you keep a copy of the program with its debugging information, you can ship a stripped copy of the code, and everything will still work!
So, in the lab, you have your crash file and your program with debugging information. Run gdb on the debug version of your program. We know that we have a segmentation violation. So, starting from frame zero of the offending thread, start listing the code as shown Listing 3 (see the LJ FTP site).
Frame 0 is inside of our crash handler—nothing to see here.
Frame 1 is also inside of the crash handler.
Frame 2 is still inside of our crash handler.
Frame 3 shows no source file (it is inside of libc).
Frame 4 shows the actual crash (inside of crashC).
Frame 5 shows crashB.
Frame 6 shows crashA.
Frame 7 shows ecrash_test_thread.
And, frames 8 and 9 are where the thread gets created in libc.
As you can see, there is a trick to displaying function pointers with gdb. Simply give it an address and dereference it in a list:
(gdb) list *0xWHATEVER
This also works with symbolic_names and offsets:
(gdb) list *main+100
Okay, that was our crashed thread, but what about one of the sleepers? Examine the backtrace from Thread 5, Listing 4 (see the LJ FTP site):
Frame 0 is inside of our backtrace handler.
Frame 1 still inside of the handler.
Frame 2 is in libc.
Frame 3 is in libc.
Frame 4 is in libc.
Frame 5 is inside of sleepFuncC—it is showing the for statement as the program counter, because we are outside of the sleep() function. This is notable because the async signal sent to tell the thread to dump its stack caused sleep() to exit prematurely.
Frame 6 shows sleepFuncB.
Frame 7 shows sleepFuncA.
Frame 8 shows crash_test_thread.
Frame 9 is where the thread gets created in libc (or libpthread).
So, this thread is one of the sleeping threads. Not much to see, but in some cases, this thread's information could be vital to discovering the cause of a crash.
This library is verry
This library is verry interesting, but seem that it print only address of main.c.
My program is linked staticaly with a library that contain a thread that call assert().
The program create the thread and I register it in eCrash. I launch the program, it crash and print the stack trace of the offended thread. I have analyzed the address printed with the program add2line but it return only address that are in my main.c. Program and library are compiled witch -g3 and -ggdb flags.
I'll appreciate any help.
Where is eCrash?
The link in the article for the .tgz file (ftp.ssc.com/pub/lj/issue149/8724.tgz) doesn't work. The Sourceforge project doesn't have anything to download.
ecrash - ftp.ssc.com/pub/lj/issue149/8724.tgz
Page says that page is under construction. No source code download.
It's fixed now, and the correct link is displayed. Sorry for the problem.

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.

Cookbook:Shave ice Shave ice |
Shave ice or Hawaiian shave ice is an ice-based dessert made by shaving a block of ice. While the product can resemble a snow cone, snow cones are made with crushed, rather than shaved, ice. Even though it is made with shaved ice, it is called "shave ice", not "shaved ice" in Hawai'i.[1] On the Big Island of Hawai'i, it is also referred to as 'ice shave', though both terms (ice shave and shave ice) are used by locals.
Shaving produces a very fine ice that appears snow-like. This extremely fine texture causes syrups added to it to be absorbed by the ice rather than simply surrounding.[2][3] A properly made shave ice product rarely requires a straw, since the flavors are in the ice and not at the bottom of the cup. Although the traditional American flavors are common, shave ice in Hawai'i is often flavored with local ingredients such as guava, pineapple, coconut cream, passion fruit, li hing mui, lychee, kiwi fruit and mango. Hawaiian shave ice is traditionally served in a conical paper or plastic cup with multiple flavors and with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and/or azuki bean paste at the bottom of the cup. Sweetened condensed milk drizzled over the top is sometimes called a "snow cap." This style of shave ice is common on the north shore of O'ahu, as well as on Maui and the Big Island of Hawai'i (where it is called "Japanese style").
Shave ice traces its history to Japan, where it is known as kakigōri and dates back to the Heian Period.[4] "Shave ice enjoyed world-wide popularity after Japanese plantation workers immigrated to the Hawaiian islands and took their traditional dessert with them, creating shave ice from large blocks of ice and using Japanese swords which were family heirlooms."[5]
In 1934 New Orleans, inventor Ernest Hansen designed an "ice block shaver" in that became a local variation known as the Sno-ball.[6]
"Snow ice"—cream, milk, water, sugar and fruit, frozen and then shaved and served in cones—is popular in Taiwan and Indonesia and making inroads into the United States.[7]

Beyonce at the 10th Annual Billionaire Boys Club Party
Beyoncé and Jay-Z Bring Their Love to Pharrell's Billionaire Boys Club
Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z came out in NYC tonight to support their friend Pharrell Williams at the 10th anniversary party of his clothing line, Billionaire Boys Club. Hip-hop's power couple took a seat at the dinner table next to Pharrell inside the event, which was held at the Tribeca Canvas. Also present at the dinner party was Pharrell's business partner and Billionaire cofounder Nigo, as well as rappers Busta Ryhmes and Q-Tip. While Pharrell played host for the night and carried out a speech at one point in the evening, Beyoncé and Jay-Z kept each other company during the rather low-key celebration.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z kicked off their return to the Big Apple with a date night after a busy weekend abroad. The couple took the stage together at the Chime For Change benefit concert in London on Saturday. Jay's leading lady headlined the show, which helped raise funds for education, health, and justice for women worldwide. Beyoncé will continue to work her stage presence as she prepares for the North American leg of her The Mrs. Carter Show world tour, beginning on June 28 at the Staples Center in LA.

Free Autism Information Day in Lancaster CountyHere is an event that has a variety of speakers that is free for the families of children with autism. This is something you do not hear about very often. Too bad that YAP does not service the State of California. Youth Advocate Programs (YAP) invites families in Lancaster County, PA to an Autism Information Day to be held on Wednesday, October 3, 2007. This workshop is being made available at no cost to families of children with autism in Lancaster County. This project was financed in part by a grant from the Abigail Longenecker Foundation. Date: October 3, 2007 Time: 9:00 am - 4:00 pm - lunch is provided Location: Otterbien United Methodist Church, 20 East Clay Street, Lancaster, PA 17602 Registration - must be done by September 21. Mail, fax or email your registration to: Ann Lyon, MSW Youth Advocate Programs, Inc. 721 North Duke Street Lancaster, PA 17602 FAX: 717-396-0164 EMAIL: alyon@yapinc. org PHONE: 717-396-0212 Speaker and Facilitator List: Janet Crawford, YAPs Vice President and National Coordinator of Autism Services Ann Lyon, YAP s Coordinator of Autism Training Matt Gromis, Lancaster County YAPs Autism BSC and trainer Dan Karlow, YAPs Lancaster County director Ellie Turnbull, parent advocate Pat Amos, Autism Support and Advocacy in Pennsylvania (ASAP) Will Turnbull, self advocate William Stillman, nationally-known author and self-advocate The purpose of the event is to spread the word about relationship-based approaches to supporting and accommodating children on the autism spectrum. The relationship-based approach utilizes individual strengths and natural supports within the context of community and family relationships to achieve progress in four main areas: environmental/ cognitive; social communication; functional independence; and reduction of challenges. Keys to the approach are the presumption of intellect and the fostering of self-advocacy. Self-advocates William Stillman and Will Turnbull will share an "inside-out approach," helping others to get inside and better understand the experience of autism. Ellie Turnbull and Pat Amos will share the knowledge they have acquired as parents, and Janet Crawford, Ann Lyon, Matt Gromis and Dan Karlow will address what they are learning about best practices in support provision. In Pennsylvania and Texas, YAP is a licensed provider of behavioral health services funded by Medical Assistance. YAP's strategic plan calls for expansion of MA services and entry into the managed care arena in other states. In addition to our national programs, we have assisted in the development of programs in England and Ireland and provide support to youth agencies in Scotland, Guatemala and Sierra Leone.

We're not gonna lie to you -- we were initially tempted to write this post in full-on mid-'90s late night TV ad format, but we instead chose restraint in telling people about the BioShock 2 sale going on over at Newegg. For just $49, you can snag a copy of the (at least somewhat) critically acclaimed return to Rapture on either Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 over the 72 hours that Newegg's sale takes place (just under 60 left as of this writing).
If the recently detailed DLC wasn't enough to entice you to dive in to BioShock's sequel, maybe $11 off the asking price will do it, eh? (Because a man finds sweet sales, a slave buys at full price ... or something.)

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - 2009: Mike Pettine of the New York Jets poses for his 2009 NFL headshot at photo day in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by NFL Photos)
ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that the Buffalo Bills have hired former Jets defense coordinator Mike Pettine to run their defense.
Pettine's contract recently expired with the Jets and they made it pretty clear that they were prepared to move in a different direction.
Pettine joins the two men from Syracuse to round out the Bills' coaching staff. He's produced some pretty positive results for the Jets in the past few seasons, so there stands a reasonable enough chance that he would be able to fix an under-performing unit from a season ago.
It will be interesting to see if they choose to go back to a 3-4 base defense given that Pettine's experience has been in that formation. Their defensive line has plenty of talent, but the two defensive tackles, Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus, are good enough that they should probably be on the field as much as possible.
The post Bills Hire Mike Pettine As Defensive Coordinator appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

The Global eCommerce Adoption Cycle
Posted by Zia Daniell Wigder on January 27, 2010
One of the great things we can do with our Consumer Technographics data is compare user behavior and technology adoption in different international markets. Our recently published report The Global eCommerce Adoption Cycle uses data from four continents to provide a snapshot of eCommerce around the globe.
In the report, we look at how 18 different markets in North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America have evolved from an online shopping perspective. In our first analysis, we compare online penetration and the percent of online shoppers in each market. Our second analysis looks at online tenure as compared to average spending per online buyer.
In addition, we estimate the relative size of the online shopping markets to give a sense of which markets are most developed. We plot global markets in one of four quadrants: Connected buyers, Thrifty netizens, Rapid spenders and Emerging shoppers.
A few of the findings from the analysis:
Online connectivity does not necessarily correlate with online shopping.In certain markets – for example, Hong Kong – a very high percentage of the population is online but relatively few consumers are shopping online. Don't assume online buying will quickly follow online connectivity.
Some countries have relatively few online buyers, but those buyers are spending a substantial amount online.Additionally, in certain markets, the percentage of online shoppers may be relatively low but average online spending is high. In Canada, for example, only about half the online population has bought online in the past 3 months, but those who spend online spend a similar amount to their US counterparts.
Average online spending per buyer is highest in North America and Asia.While the typical UK online buyer spends a significant amount online, the same cannot be said for users in other countries in Europe.By contrast, in some markets in Asia, average online spending is higher than it is in the US.
eCommerce is evolving at a tempered pace around the globe.eCommerce boosters often suggest that today's better technology and more developed supply side means that newer online markets will embrace eCommerce faster than those that emerged in the early days of the Internet. However, eCommerce is taking time to develop in every market. In Metropolitan China, for example, where users have been online roughly as long as those in France or the UK, the percentage of consumers making online purchases remains relatively low. Indeed, in every country, eCommerce adoption is more likely to follow the traditional or hybrid curve outlined below than the aggressive one some might anticipate in today's environment.
Product categories
Hi guys,
first of all, thanks for great insight! have two questions on that subject:
1) did you have chance to look which categories are evolving over time in different markets? did you find some pattern showing for example if year1 the local shoppers hunt for mobile gadgets in +3 years or so they will add buying shoes of clothing online?
2) in the report your are tracing shopping behavior with online connectivity. this is great, but did you consider other factors, like supply? if in some local market there is no credible online presence the market will stagnant for a long time. alternatively, may online payment preferences by a cause...

I came into the office and it looked like they were still moving in (I asked the secretary later and she said they had just moved in the office a few months prior). Anyways, the people seemed really direct. However, the interview consisted of a combination of my past and some technical questions.
