Topic: Defense of Marriage Act
Media Clings to Disproven Narrative; Hilarity Ensues
As elated as mainstream journalists were when Chief Justice John Roberts decided to cave to political pressure and uphold ObamaCare, it posed a challenge to the left. They had become so invested in their narrative of the illegitimacy of conservative constitutional jurisprudence, they may have even believed it. As the Supreme Court signaled it was considering striking down the constitutionally suspect ObamaCare, liberals ramped up the rhetoric.
But because of the vote-buying and procedural shenanigans used to pass the bill, and because of its extreme unpopularity and bipartisan opposition, supporters of ObamaCare actually needed the country to somehow accept the legitimacy of the court's opinion, which they had spent months denigrating. Liberals couldn't break the habit anyway, however. Though Roberts mistakenly thought he would win the court some legitimacy from the president and his palace guards in the press, the opposite happened: with the ObamaCare decision now in their pockets, they resumed trashing the Roberts court as far more "radical" than any of its predecessors.
Though it was sad to watch Roberts get played so easily by the administration and its allies, there was still something amusing about the left's reaction. They had to engage in some pretty nifty intellectual gymnastics to argue that the court was not moving right despite its major liberal decisions but that the Roberts court's major liberal decisions were part of its master plan to trick the public into complacency. And so it is with this week's court rulings. The Roberts court made the right call in striking down the Defense of Marriage Act, as we have argued in this magazine. But it was also a ruling the left celebrated not just from a legal standpoint but from a cultural one. So how to argue that the Roberts court is radical when it so clearly is not? The Times gives it a try today:
A Ruling Without Reason
This morning the Supreme Court voted by a 5-4 margin that Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act, defining marriage as a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife for the purpose of federal law, is unconstitutional. But why? Is it because Section 3 violates long-standing principles of federalism that favor state power to define and regulate family relations? Or is it because Section 3 violates the Fifth Amendment rights of gays and lesbians to equal protection of the laws? The answer, in effect, is none of the above. In a 26-page opinion brimming with constitutional catch phrases but containing no coherent rationale, the Court delivered an outcome that many find politically favorable but that no serious reader could possibly find legally sound.
There are many strong arguments against the constitutionality of Section 3 of DOMA. As I argued in the May issue of COMMENTARY, the most compelling argument is that the statute represents an unprecedented encroachment by the federal government upon the power of the states to regulate and define marital relations. Indeed, at the opinion's outset, this seems to be the line of reasoning the majority is going to adopt in overturning Section 3. "By history and tradition," the majority writes, "the definition and regulation of marriage … has been treated as being within the authority and realm of the separate States." The majority continues in this vein for about seven pages… before announcing that federalism is irrelevant to the case!
The Gay Marriage Debate
I certainly agree with Peter Wehner and Jonathan Tobin that the sudden shift in public opinion in favor of same-sex marriage is quite remarkable and surely portends that in another generation, same-sex marriage will be about as controversial as votes for women. That is, as long as the court doesn't hand down another Roe v. Wade and take the issue out of the political arena where issues such as this are properly settled.
Let me add just one thing regarding the main conservative reasoning for upholding DOMA. As the Wall Street Journal editorial today sympathetically put it:
Mr. Clement responded to Justice Kennedy that Doma merely defined marriage for the purposes of federal law, such as Social Security benefits. After the Hawaii supreme court had legalized gay marriage and upset the traditional definition, Congress in 1996 naturally adopted a uniform rule for federal benefits but allowed the states to debate and adapt to changing social mores.
This is nonsense.
The Stunning Public Shift on Same-Sex Marriage
The velocity of change in public attitudes on same-sex marriage–from being unimaginable not long ago to being fairly commonplace today and probably dominant tomorrow–is extraordinary, even unprecedented.
One obvious indicator of that is public opinion polls; another is the number of elected officials who are reversing their past position on gay marriage. We're now at the point where embracing federalism–letting states rather than the Supreme Court decide the issue–defines the most reliably conservative position. Republicans who support same-sex marriage, from former Vice President Richard Cheney to Senator Rob Portman, (thankfully) aren't in danger of excommunication. In fact, I know of almost no critic of gay marriage who relishes talking about the issue.
The Court, Marriage, and Federal Power
After two days of hearings on cases relating to the legality of measures opposing gay marriage, it is not possible to discern what will happen when the U.S. Supreme Court hands down its rulings. The puzzling and illogical decision on ObamaCare last year should inhibit court watchers from attempting to extrapolate votes from the exchanges between the justices and the attorneys arguing the cases. And given the not inconsiderable number of options that the court has before it when it finally issues rulings about California's Proposition 8 and the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), the result could be just as confusing and inconclusive as the arguments that have been aired this week. That makes it as unlikely that the court will act to impose a right to gay marriage on the entire country as it is that it would attempt to prohibit it in those states where legislatures have enshrined it in law as a right.
But if, as gay marriage proponents seem to think, the tide of public opinion has irrevocably shifted on the issue from where it was in 1996 when Congress overwhelmingly passed and Bill Clinton signed DOMA, or even when the voters of California endorsed a constitutional amendment prohibiting state recognition of gay marriage, then it is possible that the court will listen to the polls and do on this issue what it did 40 years ago on abortion with Roe v. Wade. Irrespective of where one comes down on gay marriage, that would not be good for the country.
Gay Marriage Debate Moves to Congress
Rudy Giuliani was on CBS News this morning cautioning Republicans to stay out of the gay marriage debate. It looks like he's a bit late. Last night, the House passed a Republican-backed bill that would prevent the Justice Department from using taxpayer funds to oppose the Defense of Marriage Act, Politico reports:
With a 245-171 vote, the House voted to stop the Justice Department from using taxpayer funds to actively oppose DOMA — the Clinton-era law defining marriage as between a man and a woman that the Obama administration stopped enforcing in February 2011. …
Democrats immediately attacked Republicans for the vote.
"On an historic day and in the dark of night, House Republicans have voted to tie the hands of the Obama administration with respect to their efforts to end discrimination against America's families," Drew Hammill, a spokesman for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), said in a statement. "House Republicans continue to plant their feet firmly on the wrong side of history."

The DNA aspect of genealogy is a new and evolving asset and has the potential to add substantially to our genealogical data base. So far, seven Tituses have been tested and the results of four of them have provided a template for the Robert Titus line. The sets of markers for the Dutch line has also been determined. The German and New Brunswick lines have yet to be delineated. We need volunteers to step forward. It should be noted that these tests only involve the non-functional part of the Y chromosome (the so-called junk DNA) and therefore cannot be used for medical or insurance purposes. In addition, the name of the testee is protected.
Over the Brick Wall to Bannockburn
Up until recently, the genealogical record of my Arthurs family in New Brunswick has been relatively sparse, and all my attempts to trace the family back more than four generations have bounced me off the traditional brick wall. From the 1851 Canadian census records for Kings County, NB we know that Joseph Arthurs "entered the colony" in 1833 from Ireland. The Canadian 1851 census is the earliest complete population survey undertaken in New Brunswick. Consequently, information that predates 1851 is sketchy and difficult to come by. A publication of "Passengers to New Brunswick, The Custom House Records 1833," edited by Daniel F. Johnson and Ken Kanner (1987) lacks any reference to our Arthurs family. However, the passenger manifests of many ships are missing. Perhaps they may be found at ports of embarkation in England and Ireland and at destinations such as Halifax or Quebec City, or even in Boston and Philadelphia.
Homeward Bound From Bannockburn
This is a story that involves the past, the present, and the future. It is also a success story involving DNA, an inheritance we receive from our ancesters, hold for a brief time in trust, and pass on to our descendants.
We Are All Cousins
I wrote the words of the poem below in 1966 while on deployment with the Royal Canadian Air Force at the Italian Air Base at Decimomannu, Sardinia, when I was flying CF-104 Starfighters during the Cold War. It was dedicated later to one of my air force buddys, Jack Murdoch.

Wild City
Trip Start
Sep 23, 2009
Trip End
Oct 09, 2009
Fortified by a breakfast of pancakes and maple syrup, Jim and I set off to explore. From Coal Harbour, we found stunning views across to the city. Dozens of boats were moored at the boat club; Vancouver has a strong maritime culture. I took in the blue sea and the sunshine, stopping every few minutes as cycling a few metres on revealed a new photo opportunity.
The sculpture park gave me my introduction to First Nations carvings, with powerful traditional totem poles and modern interpretations. They kept a watchful eye on the skyscrapers of the city beyond the water. The totems tell a story of a family; who their ancestors are, what they own, which spirits protect and guide them, what their stories are. In the past, the totems stood outside the great houses, until the wood decayed and fell, and the spirits and earth claimed them back. Now many are preserved, not monuments to a dead culture but way markers towards the future, a reminder of people and identity, and what this beautiful land once was.
The glorious weather and a lingering sense of unease about cetaceans in captivity kept me out of the aquarium, with its belugas and orcas. But I lingered near Bill Reid's mighty sculpture, 'Killer Whale'. We feasted on hot dogs, and left the bikes to stroll to stroll through the park, past ancient cedars and the decaying remains of a zoo with its cages and bear pit slowly being subsumed by the woodland.
The tallest trees in the park were the cedars. They towered above the others, with straight trunks and knobbly branches which appeared to have been glued on as afterthoughts. These were the trees favoured for carving as totems, their bizarre shapes perhaps providing inspiration. The occasional fallen tree also provided the prefect playground for kids of all ages.
Squirrels were abundant in Stanley Park, vying with the crows for possession of the bounty of fallen chestnuts. They bounced around, feasting and burying some nuts in little caches in the hope of retrieving them in lean times. The rodents seemed to delight in dancing through the dappled sunshine and pausing in just the wrong place for me to take a photo. We cycled on to Beaver Lake, a tranquil spot in the centre of the park. True to its name, there are beavers there, though the only signs we saw were well-gnawed trees. Dragonflies and wood ducks also made the lake their home.
We rode past the vast span of Lion's Gate Bridge, watching a sea lion playing in its shadow. The park took on a wild character here, as we followed a narrow path which would its way along the bottom of rocky cliff faces. The waves were large, occasionally drenching rollerbladers who rounded a point at the wrong time. After Prospect Point were three beaches, with invitingly golden sands. A small cluster of people watched a model in a scanty bikini pose for glamour shots in the blue but frigid water. Jim was rather worried that she would get too cold, but the promise of wine succeeded in luring him on to English Bay, where we enjoyed a glass of red before returning the bikes.
In the evening, we crossed Lion's Gate Bridge to North Vancouver, where we took the cable car up Grouse Mountain. A ski resort in the winter, in summer it offers fine dining and awesome views. Multiple rides in the chair lift let us watch the sun set, and the lights of the city come flickering on. The night was fairly clear, and we could see across to Nanaimo and Victoria, which showed as blurs of light on Vancouver Island. Farther still were the mountains of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, and snow-encrusted Mount Baker. The light faded and the air began to cool. We retreated inside and rounded off the evening with a delicious meal at the Observatory, at a window table which let us watch the buzzing city and the glittering sky.

California has spent billions of dollars and endured years of federal lawsuits to improve conditions in its state prisons.
But the problems it has been trying to correct are now trickling down to local governments as county jails deal with thousands of additional inmates.
Law firms advocating for inmates' rights sued or threatened lawsuits against a handful of California counties because of Gov. Jerry Brown's plan to send lower-level offenders to jails instead of state prisons as a way to comply with a federal court order.
The lawsuits allege overcrowding and other subpar conditions that led to the legal actions against the state's prison system are repeating at the county level. They note jails designed for short-term stays are flooded with thousands of inmates, many of whom serving long sentences.

Student Spotlight: Naomi Jones
Naomi Jones
Major: Respiratory Care
Naomi Jones researched College of DuPage and discovered that it provided a quality education at an affordable price.
She enrolled at COD the fall after graduating from high school, taking the required prerequisites in hopes of entering the Nursing program.
"As time went on, luckily I had not started the Nursing program yet because at that time, nursing was not for me," she said. "But I still wanted to be in health care, and I came across the Respiratory Care program. I talked to the (then) director of the program, Denise Kruckenburg, and a few months later I got a letter saying I was accepted into the program."
Jones earned her degree and now is a registered respiratory therapist at St. Alexius Medical Center. She helps patients with breathing problems and protects their airways.
"I work in the ER with trauma victims and asthma patients, in the ICU with critically ill adults and in the NICU with premature babies who are no bigger than my hand," she said. "It is very rewarding to know I have a part in saving someone's life.
"As an emotional person, I find it hard at times to watch a patient's family cry over their loved one. I go back to what my COD teachers said in class, "This is the family's time and, as a health care professional, I have to let them have their moment." This really helps me in my day-to-day work because it prevents me from becoming too emotional around the patients and their families."
Jones recently was accepted into DePaul University's MENP (Master's Entry into Nursing Program) and starts in January 2015. She credits COD's small class size as helping her receive the necessary attention.
"I would not have liked being in a class with 100-plus students. I needed that one-on-one attention," she said. "Besides that, COD helped me continue to work and go to school at the same time.
"I encourage other students to do their research. There are so many different health care fields that you can enter. You should get in contact with hospitals and ask to arrange a job shadow with someone already in a field that you are considering. There are so many possibilities, such as physical therapists, dietitians, surgical technicians, radiology technicians, physician assistants and respiratory therapists. Find what interests you most and go into a profession that you are passionate about."

Several techniques have been developed to tailor the adsorption of biomolecules according to different requirements. These include the functionalization of the surface with self-assembled monolayers, the use of ligand-receptor complexes and the regulation of the buffer conditions.
A research collaboration between Mervyn Miles' group at the University of Bristol, UK, Giovanni Valdrè at the University of Bologna, Italy, and Mark Szczelkun's group in Bristol has investigated how different mineral surfaces influence the deposition of single DNA molecules from solution. In particular, the researchers focused on layered silicates due to their ability to produce atomically flat surfaces when cleaved. Their findings indicated that these surfaces are not inert substrates - as is generally accepted - but can actively drive the deposition of DNA.
In the case of chlorite surfaces the scientists were able to deposit DNA molecules in stretched conformations using only the [m1]variation in surface potential between different areas of the mineral. As can be seen from the image, the degree of manipulation of individual molecules was remarkable. The researchers are confident that the technique will become widespread, particularly when combined with scanning probe microscopy and/or optical tweezers.

Best Place to Take Your Dog for a Dip (2005)
City Bark
All week long, the poodles and Pomeranians, Rottweilers and retrievers in City Bark's care frolic in the facility's 12,000-square-foot backyard obstacle course and pool. But on Sundays, when City Bark is closed, owner Nicole Delmoro invites the rest of the city's pooches to come for a swim at the doggie daycare. It's just $5 per dog -- on the honor system -- and there are plenty of lawn chairs for owners to loll on while Fido and Fifi have their day in the sun.

Hot Idea: Color Changing Coffee Lids
In nature, some animals like frogs and fish use bright colors to warn other animals that eating them could cause great harm... Soon coffee cup lids could give you a similar bright colored warning that your coffee is in fact scalding hot. (Reminds me of my old Hypercolor T-Shirts.)
Australian company, Smart Lid Systems provides a coffee lid that changes color from a dark brown to bright red when the temperature of the liquids inside is above 115°F. This color changing alert is meant to protect more people from being badly burned by hot liquids. The design of the lid also alerts consumers to improper fitted lids. As drinks cool, the color of the lid changes back to it's original dark form.

If the criteria is more than four months, this story qualifies:
The "hot" was playing on the "heat" that changes the colors... Not as in "New Hot." These lids by SLS actually have been around since 2005... but still haven't showed up anywhere in the US.
Does the color changing beer label deserve to be mentioned?
..or the color changing tap water?

What if you could study Italian in St. Mark's Square in Venice or in Orvieto, a small, medieval town perched high in the sky...
Italian is the study of a language deeply interwoven in both European and American culture
Cooking classes, art workshops or maybe a fashion seminar? Our new summer program in Orvieto—Italy 360º: Arts, Fashion, Food and Community-Based Learning—will allow you to explore history and culture through areas for which Italy is justly famous.
Students who've traveled with us to Italy—home to more than 60 percent of the world's art, according to UNESCO—say they come back transformed, with a deeper knowledge of both Italy and their home country. Did you know that, after Great Britain, Italy is the next most popular study-abroad destination for American students?
Mastery of Italian has become increasingly valuable for employment in international law, finance, trade, banking and communications. Many major American firms, from Citibank to PriceWaterhouseCoopers, have offices in Italy that hire bilingual staff.
If you decide to pursue graduate studies, especially those in the humanities and social sciences, a minor or special major in Italian is a perfect complement.
It is impossible to feel truly educated without knowing the
masterpieces of Italian art, literature, cinema, music and theater.
Better still to be able to appreciate them in the original Italian and
not be restricted to English translations.
Imagine Studying
Italian literary masterpieces translated to film in "From Book to Screen"

Championship: Blackpool boss Jose Riga admits he does not feel like a manager yet
Last Updated: 21/08/14 8:00pm
Jose Riga: Frustrated in charge of Blackpool
Sky Bet
Football Betting
Blackpool boss Jose Riga says he does not "feel like a manager yet" because of the way the club is run and the issues he faces.
Riga, who was appointed at the start of June following a spell at Charlton, has lost his opening four games in charge of Blackpool including a 1-0 Capital One Cup defeat to League Two side Shrewsbury.
The Seasiders' endured a troublesome summer as their pre-season tour of Spain was cancelled due to having just eight first-teamers on their books following a 27-player exodus at the end of last season.
Blackpool have since been busy in the transfer market, bringing in 19 new faces mainly on free transfers, but Riga remains frustrated with the club's set-up and some of the tasks he is being posed with.
"I still don't feel like a manager yet," the 57-year-old told the Blackpool Gazette.
"It's not just about having players here – it's about the infrastructure too.
"Each day I have to face problems a normal manager doesn't have to deal with. I'd prefer not to speak about this every time but when I'm asked the question I'm honest.
"I told everyone it would be difficult at first and it has been. We just have to keep working to find solutions inside the group and hopefully serious solutions can be found outside the group."
Despite being rooted to the bottom of the Championship table after losing their opening three games to Nottingham Forest, Blackburn and Brentford, Riga is optimistic of turning things around.
"In all three league games we've been close to getting a result and we have to take something from that. We aren't far away," he said.
"It has been an impossible mission really in these opening games but I haven't said it. I'm just focussing on my job and working hard.
"We have to be better as a collective at this club. We need to find solutions together. I hope the future is bright here."

If it's not broken, don't fix it.
That's the mentality Buffalo Sabres and Team USA goalie Ryan Miller is using for his mask design for the 2014 Winter Olympics, which are set to get underway in less than two weeks in Sochi.
Miller was the star of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, when he won tournament MVP honors after leading the U.S. to a silver medal, and his goalie helmet was just as big a hit. The mask featured a screaming bald eagle on one side, a jacked-up Uncle Sam on the other and assorted red and blue stars.
Miller apparently is a fan of the design, too, as he'll be sporting a nearly identical mask in Sochi — albeit with a bit of a darker color scheme. The only real change is to the back plate, which — in a nod to this year's host nation — will feature Russian nesting doll versions of Miller, his wife and his dog.
It remains to be seen, though, whether Miller will be showing off his new headgear from the crease or the bench. Goaltenders Jonathan Quick and Jimmy Howard also were named to the Team USA roster, and head coach Dan Bylsma has not yet named his starter.
Check out Miller's mask in the photos below.

What happens when you mix one high end Taiwanese-American designer (Alexander Wang) with a high street French brand (Sandro), the results are simply FABULOUS . Sandro is one of my favorite brands and their collection this fall is absolutely beautiful. I discovered the French brand at the Marais a couple of years ago in Paris. I was excited when a friend of mine told me they we're opening a stand alone store in New York on Bleecker Street. Imagine my disappointment when I got there and it was still under construction!

After the discussion of this issue in yesterday's phone call, the following refined resolution was proposed: 1) The specification will not define a lifetime/lifecycle model or mechanism for endpoint references; it will however state that WS-Addressing does not prevent lifecycle models for EPRs from being built by other specifications that use WS-Addressing. 2) The specification will explicitly state that the time to live of an EPR is not being defined. It was agreed to drop 3) from the proposal, based on the the arguments that the language is ambiguous, and that its applicability is limited to the http binding only. Paco "Bob Freund" <Bob.Freund@hitachisoftw To: <email@example.com> are.com> cc: Sent by: Subject: Issue 012: Recapitulation and proposal draft 1 public-ws-addressing-req email@example.com 11/04/2004 06:02 PM Statement of issue: At the moment there is no specification of the lifetime of an Endpoint Reference. What needs to be decided is: 1) Is there a need to provide a mechanism for management of EPR lifetime? If yes then what should it do? 2) Or: Is there a need to make some statement concerning an implied EPR lifetime? If yes then what? Arguments against providing a lifetime mechanism: 1) The web has gone well enough up to now with the tacit assumption that uri's live forever. 2) There is nothing like a 404 to indicate that the EPR you seek has gone missing. The service thus has complete control over expiration. 3) Much complexity especially in request-response MEPs. A lot of this complexity will arise from treatment of the case of EPRs expiring between receipt of request and receipt of response. This complexity will extend to further complicate all protocols that permit the use of EPR expiration. 4) Timeout option behavior would probably involve dealing with clock skew. Though only some specs (like WS-Security) deal with skew.[DaveO] 5) Timeout option behavior could inappropriately constrain derivative works.[DaveO] 6) Defining a lifetime mechanism in WS-A is inappropriate in that such mechanisms are more meaningful at higher protocol or application levels where behaviors appropriate to need may be defined.[Paco paraphrased] 7) Every usage of an potentially expiring EPR would need to develop ways of dealing with a whole lot of new exceptions 8) Not appropriate for an addressing mechanism [MichaelE paraphrased] Arguments in favor of providing a lifetime mechanism: 1) Provides a handy way for the EPR minter to control cache contents. 2) Potentially better distributed behavior under ReplyTo/FaultTo with just WS-Addressing[DaveO] 3) Potential re-use of timeout construct across layered specifications.[DaveO] General Puzzlements: 1) Would EPRs compare equal if their expiration times were not equal? 2) If one received a message with an expired EPR in its to:, whan ought it to be dropped? 3) If one received an expired EPR in its replyto: ought the message be discarded? 4) Would such a lifetime mechanism encourage implementers to do unnatural acts with expiring addresses? Proposal: 1) WS-A will not define a lifetime mechanism for EPRs 2) EPRs will be considered to live indefinitely. Such statement shall be made simply in the spec 3) Error 404 shall be returned for any EPR not recognized by an endpoint. Such statement shall be made in in the faults section of the specReceived on Tuesday, 9 November 2004 12:08:55 UTC

This was quite simple to make. I used the leftover fabric from my pillow cover project. I backed the flag with the floral pattern and the front is the solid quilted fabric. I then used some scraps to cut out the letter "K" and the flowers. I also had some leftover apple green ric-rac that looks like a small wave of grass running along the bottom. Do you have any leftover fabric in your stash that could be put to use making a custom garden flag? I bet you do.
I added the flag to the landscape right between two hydrangea bushes to the right of the porch. They're beginning to bloom and the colors go so well with the flag and the pillow covers. I love hydrangeas. I have three of the limelight variety on the side of the house. I would like to add a couple of the pink blush hydrangeas somewhere in the yard but I'm running out of space. I can't ever bring myself to cut the blooms and bring them indoors. They add so much beauty to the yard.
Here are a couple photo's of the pillows in use. I love having a bistro set on the porch. It's shaded in the morning so it's a nice spot for a simple breakfast and a cup of coffee.
I'd love to find two small indoor/outdoor area rugs in a neutral shade to use underneath the rockers and the bistro set. I think it would give the space a more polished appearance.
Four window boxes reside on the ground level. Two rest on the porch rails and two are mounted to the outside windows. If I had a little more foresight when I purchased these boxes. I would have purchased 5 more for the upper-floor windows. That would be really pricey but would also make a huge impact.
These are the petunia's and the coleus-versa that I grew. I added Calibrochoa (sp?) and Verbena to the mix. Next year I'm definitely looking for these seeds to start in my little green house. I love how beautiful they are combined with the petunia's and coleus.
The corsican mint looks fantastic spilling over the edge of this once painted terra cotta pot. I actually prefer the worn paint look so I'm going to keep it this way.
I've got a few of these orange lilies planted to the left of the porch and they give a great pop of color while in bloom. They also multiply each year with a few additional stalks. Definitely worth adding to the landscape.
Thanks for stopping by Blue Sky Confections!

iPad's Natural User Interface at Work
By Applications User Experience on Jul 05, 2010
John Cartan, User Experience Architect, Applications User Experience
Many people have been surprised by the immediate success of Apple's iPad. It is already beginning to transform the way we read and relax at home - and also the way we work. Why did it succeed where so many earlier tablets failed? And will it (and its inevitable imitators) also transform the enterprise? The answer to both of these questions, I believe, lies in something called the NUI, the Natural User Interface. We are in the early stages of a paradigm shift that will indeed transform the enterprise. I think I know how it will play out because I've seen it happen once before. In 1984, Apple introduced a new computer, the Macintosh, and a new interaction paradigm developed at Xerox PARC called the Graphical User Interface (GUI). Its windows, icons, menus, and pointing device - the "mouse" - were a radical change from the then reigning Command Line Interface (CLI). At first it was dismissed as a fad or a game system with no relevance for the workplace. But its influence increased steadily because, for most things, GUIs worked better than CLIs. GUIs required less training and made possible whole new kinds of applications. Within a few years, mice began to appear on every desktop. For all of its power and ease of use, though, a GUI has limitations. Instead of interacting directly the way we do with people, you still have to formulate commands and interpret responses. The windows desktop is a metaphor, rather than a direct representation. And the mouse requires you to move your hand horizontally in order to move a pointer vertically - while also chaining you to your desk. So even as the GUI age was dawning, researchers were already working on its successor, a new approach which came to be known as a NUI. So what is a NUI? A NUI is an interface that lets people use their natural behaviors to interact directly with information. I find that NUIs have four defining characteristics: "Direct, natural input" can include 3D gestures, speech recognition, facial expressions, and anything else that comes naturally, but for now it mostly means multi-touch. Multi-touch goes far beyond mouse clicks. It allows natural, expressive gestures like pinching, stretching, twisting, and flicking. And it's especially well-suited for devices like phones and tablets that you are already holding in your hands. In any interface, richer input demands richer output. In order to harness natural responses, a NUI output has to be as fast and convincing as nature itself. When the user makes a natural gesture like a pinch, the display has to respond in an animated, often photorealistic way in real time, or else the illusion will be broken. The GUIs of today, with their windows and icons and menus, are laden with visual signals and controls, or "chrome". This is one of the most unnatural features of a computer interface and tends to distract users from the actual content they are trying to work with. A NUI strips most of this away and lets users focus on one thing at a time. Finally, a NUI is not just spatially realistic, but temporally realistic as well. In the real world, actions have immediate consequences. If you want to go swimming, you don't have to wait for a river to "boot up". Splashes happen as you swim and will not be lost if you forget to save them. Similarly, NUI devices and applications start instantly and stop on a dime. Changes are saved as you go. Apple did not invent the NUI, but its iPhone was the first device to take these concepts mainstream. Competing smart phones, with their GUI interactions and rows of tiny buttons, were no match for the iPhone's chrome-free, fully-responsive, multi-touch UI. The iPhone was NUI's proof of concept. But the iPhone did not trigger a full paradigm shift, because there is a relatively small overlap between smartphone use cases and desktop use cases. The iPad, however, is a different beast altogether. Most smartphone tasks follow what our Oracle mobile team calls the two-minute rule: you take the phone out of your pocket, do your task, and put it right back. Tasks on the iPad, in contrast, often last just as long as desktop tasks. In fact, they are often the very same tasks. The iPad's screen size makes all the difference. It allows a much fuller expression of NUI interactions with innovations like popovers and orientation-sensitive split screens not possible on a pocket-sized device. The result is that many common tasks currently performed on a desktop or laptop can be done more efficiently and more pleasantly on an iPad. CLIs did not go away, and neither will GUIs. Both are still superior for certain types of tasks. For awhile at least, GUIs will be preferred for complex, desk-bound tasks that really require multiple windows and lots of chrome. But for simpler tasks, like reading, surfing the web, dealing with email, sketching diagrams, writing blogs, and for unfettered tasks now done with paper or clipboards in warehouses or hospitals or hallways or airports, more and more people will prefer NUIs. Just as GUI did many things better than CLI, so NUI now does many things better than GUI. The iPad is a tipping point, just as the Mac was. And because this change will be so far-reaching, the impact on the enterprise is not "if," but "when."

This is just a small suggestion.
Now that there are no extra functions to be had with hovering the mouse over a checkbox, please get rid of it. Sometimes, I have to think a couple seconds about whether a task was completed and the popup gray box is mildly irritating. |

Good suggestion. Popup is confusing.

Nanoparticle Could Help Detect Cancer and Other Diseases Early
Most people think of hydrogen peroxide as a topical germ killer, but the medicine cabinet staple is gaining steam in the medical community as an early indicator of disease in the body. Furthering that trend, Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University researchers have created the first nanoparticle capable of detecting and imaging trace amounts of hydrogen peroxide in animals. The nanoparticles, thought to be completely nontoxic, could someday be used as a simple, all-purpose diagnostic tool to detect the earliest stages of any disease that involves chronic inflammation, including cancer, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, and arthritis.
Hydrogen peroxide is thought to be overproduced by cells at the early stages of most diseases. Because there were previously no imaging techniques available to capture this process in the body, the details of how the hydrogen peroxide is produced and its role in a developing disease must still be determined. The new nanoparticles, described in a paper published in the journal Nature Materials, may be the key to better understanding the role of hydrogen peroxide in the progression of many diseases and later play an important diagnostic role. This research was led by Niren Murthy, Ph.D., at Georgia Tech and Emory University, and Robert Taylor, M.D., at the Emory University School of Medicine.
"These nanoparticles are incredibly sensitive, so you can detect nanomolar concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. That's important because researchers aren't yet certain what amounts of hydrogen peroxide are present in various diseases," Murthy said.
The ultimate goal, however, is that the nanoparticles could someday be used as a simple, all-purpose diagnostic tool for most diseases. In the future, the nanoparticle would be injected into a certain area of the body. If the nanoparticles encountered hydrogen peroxide, they would emit light. Should a doctor see a significant amount of light activity in the area, the doctor would know that the patient may be presenting early signs of a disease in that area of the body.
The nanoparticle polymer is made of peroxalate esters. A fluorescent dye is then encapsulated into the polymer. When the nanoparticles encounter hydrogen peroxide, the dye becomes excited, emitting photons (or light) that can be detected in a simple, photon-counting scan.
"It's using this nanoparticle made of peroxalate esters that allows you to do this three-component reaction in vivo. If you were to inject a peroxalate ester and a dye, they would go their own ways once in the body. With the nanoparticles, we can sequester both of these reagents within nanometers of each other in vivo," Murthy said.
This work is detailed in the paper, "In vivo imaging of hydrogen peroxide with chemiluminescent nanoparticles." Investigators from the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center also participated in this study. This paper was published online in advance of print publication. An abstract is available through PubMed.

News Wrap: Cuban Government Promises to Release Political Prisoners
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
HARI SREENIVASAN: The U.S. today welcomed reports of political
prisoners being released in Cuba. The Cuban government promised the Roman
Catholic Church on Wednesday that it will free 52 dissidents over the next few
months. The agreement followed meetings between Cuban President Raul Castro,
the archbishop of Havana, and the Spanish foreign minister.
In Washington today, Secretary of State Clinton said it's encouraging.
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON, U.S. secretary of state: I spoke late last
night with the Spanish foreign minister, Minister Moratinos. And we — we
welcome this. We think that's a positive sign. It's something that is overdue,
but nevertheless very welcome.
HARI SREENIVASAN: Most of the dissidents have been in jail since a
crackdown in 2003. This would be Cuba's largest such release since Pope John
Paul visited the country in 1998.
Three men believed to have ties to al-Qaida have been arrested in Norway
and Germany. Norwegian and U.S. officials said they were plotting something
similar to foiled efforts to bomb the subways in New York City. The men were
allegedly trying to make powerful peroxide bombs. It wasn't immediately clear
if they had selected a target.
Three international troops, one of them an American, were killed in
Afghanistan today. In addition, a senior Afghan police official was
assassinated. Meanwhile, in Iraq, bombings killed at least 15 people across
Baghdad on the final day of a Shiite holiday. Nearly 60 Iraqis were killed a
day earlier.
Marine Corps General James Mattis has been tapped to take over the U.S.
Central Command. Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced it today. Mattis
would replace General David Petraeus, who left to become the top commander in
Afghanistan. That's after General Stanley McChrystal was fired for criticizing
administration leaders in Rolling Stone magazine.
Mattis was criticized in 2005 for saying — quote — "It's fun to shoot
some people."
But Gates played down that incident today.
ROBERT GATES, U.S. secretary of defense: That was five years ago.
Action — appropriate action was taken at the time. I think that the subsequent
five years have — have demonstrated that the lesson was learned. Obviously, in
the wake of the Rolling Stone interview, we discuss this kind of thing.
HARI SREENIVASAN: The nomination of Mattis is subject to Senate
Wall Street regained some more ground today. Stocks rose on news that
first-time claims for jobless benefits fell. The Dow Jones industrial average
added more than 120 points to close at 10139. The Nasdaq rose nearly 16 points
to close at 2175.
A federal judge in Boston has ruled that a federal ban on gay marriage
is unconstitutional. The judge said it interferes with a state's right to
define marriage. The state of Massachusetts argued the law illegally barred
Medicaid and other federal benefits for gay married couples. The ruling is
subject to appeal.
An experimental plane powered only by solar energy completed 26 hours of
nonstop flying over Switzerland today. The Solar Impulse has the wingspan of a
Boeing 777. It used 12,000 solar cells to store up enough energy from the sunny
day to power it through the night. The single-seat plane touched down this
morning at an airfield outside Bern.
Bertrand Piccard co-founded the project. He said it's clear a solar
plane can stay aloft indefinitely.
BERTRAND PICCARD, co-founder, Solar Impulse: After landing, we have
shown that, with renewable energies and energy savings, you can achieve
impossible things. So, there is a before and after in terms of what people have
to believe and understand about renewable energies.
HARI SREENIVASAN: Organizers next hope to cross the Atlantic and
eventually fly around the entire planet using nothing more than the sun's
Those are some of the day's major stories — now back to Jim.
