Tennis: I'm not sexist says Matosevic
Published on Jun 12, 2014 10:14 AM
LONDON (AFP) - Australia's Marinko Matosevic has insisted his criticism of women's tennis doesn't mean he is sexist.
Matosevic, who beat Lukas Lacko to move into the third round at Queen's Club on Wednesday, sparked controversy on Tuesday when he became the first male player to publicly disapprove of Wimbledon champion Andy Murray's surprise decision to hire Frenchwoman Amelie Mauresmo as his new coach.
The 28 year-old admitted he did "not think that highly of the women's game" and said he could never hire a female coach. His compatriot Sam Stosur, in action on the women's tour in Birmingham this week, labelled Matosevic's comments "pig-headed", while he was also subjected to abuse on social media.
Yet the world number 60 refused to alter his stance on Wednesday and claimed he was surprised by the fuss his comments had caused. "I was surprised because I thought my comments were pretty innocent," said Matosevic, after his 7-6 (7/3) 6-3 victory over Lacko.

Questions and Answers
User Reviews
I bought these pants in 32s thinking it should be OK, and returned them as they are really small. If your waist is 32-33, try 38 or 40 with Fire + Ice by Bogner. BTW I did try 38s and it fit except the pants felt tighter than a Ski pant should feel like. I could still wear a base layer but decided to to with a 40 to be safe in long run. Without boats the inseam are just a bit long, but it's very little to worry.
The customer service here is very good.

Six Things A CMO Should Know About Real-Time Bidding
by Chris Sukornyk on Oct 18, 1:14 PM
Number one: fact from fiction. Real-time bidding (RTB) refers to a way to buy display media ads. Instead of the traditional method of buying a block of impressions on a site or ad network, RTB is about the automatic buying of individual impressions. By removing a lot of wasted ad impressions from the media spend, RTB creates more efficient media buying, driven by value-based individual targeting. RTB is now commonplace, with agencies and marketers directly doing so for both direct-response and brand campaigns.

The Other Side Of RTB: Programmatic Selling
by Mike Leo on Oct 11, 3:49 AM
Every Monday, we send out a digest of digital advertising "must reads" chosen from the week before. Our "Mashup" team gets together in a conference room the preceding Friday, and each member brings an article he or she thinks belongs in the final product. The group vets these together. A few weeks ago when the articles were sorted, one was left on the chopping block. Its title: "How Real-Time Bidding Works." A real debate stirred up in the room. "This is far too basic for our audience," argued one member of the team. "No, I think it's a good one," ...

Viewability May Save Display From Itself
by Christopher Hansen on Oct 4, 10:06 PM
Display advertising is a mainstay for digital marketers, but the necessity of scale and the glut of available inventory have made it practically impossible for buyers to not only see where their ads run, but determine whether or not consumers saw those ads as well. While the ecosystem is aware of these flaws, it's proven truly unwilling to change its ways. It's almost in need of an intervention. Luckily, a growing focus on viewability may bring about the change this industry needs, with publishers themselves making a concerted effort to improve their ads.

Welcome to our blog dedicated to the engineering of Microsoft Windows 7
Happy New Year! The following post continues our discussion of fundamentals with a focus on power management. Power Management (or energy efficiency) is something that every contributor to the PC Ecosystem must always address—the energy efficiency of a running PC is limited by the weakest component. In engineering Windows 7 we had an explicit focus on the energy usage patterns of the running system and will continue to work with hardware and software makers to realize the collective benefit of all of this work. While we talk about the balancing of needs in every area, energy consumption is probably the most easily visualized—when we test running systems we connect them to power meters and watch a very clear number change as we run tests. (If you've seen the film Apollo 13 then you've seen a similar (albeit much more mission critical) struggle with a power budget.) This post is by Dean DeWhitt in program management team on our Kernel team. --Steven PS: Quite a few of us are at CES this week!
Energy efficiency is one of the most active topics in modern computing today. As evidence, consider that processor and chipset vendors are marketing products on "performance per watt", instead of just processor clock frequency and benchmark performance. Perhaps you have seen a press release for one of the many industry consortiums focused on "Green Computing"--reducing the power consumption and environmental impact of computing. Finally, battery life continues to be a major purchasing and usability factor for mobile PCs. These related energy efficiency efforts in the PC industry result in an ever-increasing interest in how Windows manages power.
In engineering Windows 7, our goal is to deliver the capabilities and features users want from a Windows PC while reducing power consumption over previous releases. Windows already provides a rich set of energy saving features, including the ability to turn off the display and automatically put the system to sleep when the user is not interacting with the computer. For Windows 7, we are building upon the investments in these areas by extending the existing capabilities and focusing on reducing power consumption when the system is idle. Although Windows is responsible for managing the power state of many devices, including the processor, hard drive and display, the remaining devices and software running on the computer have just as much (if not more) impact on power consumption and battery life. This is a challenge for everyone contributing to the PC experience.
When we talk about energy efficiency and power consumption, we like to break down the problem area into 3 main components:
Realizing great energy efficiency from a Windows PC requires efforts in each of these areas. A problem with any single component in any area can have a significant impact on power consumption. Thus approaching energy efficiency from a platform approach and paying special attention to each component on the platform is required.
The base hardware platform is really dictated by the system manufacturer. The customer gets the ultimate choice when they buy a system—the customer can buy a system with ultra-efficient hardware components or can buy a system with components that favor performance over power consumption. There are desktop and mobile PCs in all kinds of form factors, with varying capabilities and power consumption levels. Some mobile PCs have a normal 3 or 6-cell battery, while others have an extended 9-cell battery or another external battery that can be added to the computer. The challenge for Windows is to be energy efficient across the wide range of hardware in the Windows ecosystem. Looking at a modern laptop, here is where the power goes:
Desktops will have a similar power distribution although higher in watts. The display is a large amount of the energy consumed in using your desktop PC as well.
The Windows operating system can have just as big an influence as any other component in the platform. In engineering Windows 7 our goal is to make sure Windows provides a great foundation and energy saving opportunities within the operating system starting with configuration of power policy settings.
The first place most users encounter Windows power management is through Power Options in control panel, or the battery meter on a mobile PC. For as long as Windows has had power management, Windows has had power schemes or power plans. The power plans allow you to easily change from one set of power settings to another, depending on your preferences.
Within a power plan, you can change a variety of Windows power-saving features, including inactivity timers for turning off the display, automatically putting the system to sleep or even creating a new custom power plan for the exact settings you want. The display and sleep idle features are very important for power savings and battery life. As above, the display can consume approximately 40% of the power budget on the typical mobile PC and anywhere from 30-100+ Watts on a desktop PC.
PC OEMs, especially makers of laptops, will often develop a custom set of power schemes that work to take advantage of differentiated hardware and unique software available on a specific model. So often you will see power schemes that carry the name of your PC OEM in the title. These have been developed by the OEM who is just as committed to energy efficiency.
Quick tips: The easiest way to save power on a desktop PC is reduce the display idle timeout to something very aggressive, such as 2 or 5 minutes. If you have a screen saver enabled, disable it to allow the display to turn off. On a mobile PC, the easiest way to extend battery life is to reduce the brightness of the display in addition. Also note that many of the new all-in-one machines use laptop components and thus from a power management perspective look like laptops.
Windows manages the processor performance and changes it dynamically based on the current usage to provide performance boost when required and conserve power based on the current workload. For example, when the system is mostly idle, such as when I'm typing this blog post, there is no need to be running the processor in the maximum performance mode, instead the processor voltage and frequency can be reduced to a lower value to save power. Similarly, the hard disk drive and a variety of other devices can be placed in low-power modes or turned off completely to save power when not in use.
For Windows 7, we're refining the user experiences for power management, focusing on reducing idle power consumption and supporting new device power modes.
There are two reasons to optimize idle power consumption on the system. First there are various times throughout the day when the PC is idle and the more the system gets to idle and stays idle, the less power it uses. Second, idle power consumption is the 'base' power consumption for all other workloads. A system which consumes 15W at Idle will consume additional power over the idle power consumption while is use for other workloads. By reducing the idle power consumption on the platform we will improve most other scenarios as well.
The first step in reducing idle power is optimizing the amount of processor, memory and disk utilization. Reducing processor utilization is the most important, because the processor has a wide range of power consumption. When truly idle, the processor power consumption can be as low as 100-300mW. But, when fully busy, the processor can consume up to 35W. This large range means that even small amounts of processor activity can have a significant impact on overall power consumption and battery life. There are several areas of investment in Windows 7 that help reduce processor utilization and thereby enabling longer periods of time where the processor can enter into low power modes. One of these investments is in the area of services that are running on the platform and having those services only start when they are required referred to as "Trigger-Start". While these services are efficient and have minimal impact by themselves, the additive effect of several services can add up. We are looking at smart ways to manage these services both within Windows but making our investments in this area extensible for others who are writing services to take advantage of this infrastructure. (Also note these are the same features that contribute to improvements in boot time as well).
To further help reduce idle power, we are focusing on core processor power management improvements. Windows scales processor performance based on the current amount of utilization, and making sure Windows only increases processor performance when absolutely required can have a big impact on power consumption.
We have made several investments in the area of device power management including enhancements to USB device classes to enable selective suspend across a broad range of devices including audio, biometrics, scanners, and smart cards. These investments available in Windows 7 enable more energy efficient PC designs. We have also invested in improvements to power management for networking devices, both wired and wireless.
While many of our investments in the core infrastructure improves energy efficiency across several scenarios, in Windows 7 we also focused on several key customer scenarios to identify resource utilization improvements to extend battery life on mobile platforms. One of these scenarios that we identified was media playback. The optimizations for DVD playback include reducing processor and graphics utilization, audio improvements, and optical disk drive enhancements. These improvements are already paying off and showing significant increase in battery life across a broad range of mobile platforms which we demonstrated at the WinHEC conference.
Graphics devices, USB devices, device drivers, background services and installed applications are all extensions to Windows. Large improvements in power consumption and energy efficiency can be realized by improving the efficiency of platform extensions.
For example, consider a single USB device that does not support Selective Suspend. That USB device itself may have very low power consumption (e.g., a fingerprint reader), but until that device enters the suspend state, the processor and chipset must poll the device at a very high frequency to see if there is new data. That polling prevents the processor from entering low power idle states, and on a typical business-class notebook reduces battery life by 20-25%.
Devices are not the only area that require efforts for great energy efficiency. Application and service software can also have a big impact on power consumption. Take for example an application that increases the platform timer resolution using the timeBeginPeriod API. The platform timer tick resolution will be increased and the processor will not be able to efficiently use low power idle modes. We have observed a single application that keeps the timer resolution increased to 1ms can have up to a 10% impact on battery life on a typical notebook PC.
We're committed to helping improve the energy efficiency of Windows platform extensions by working closely with our partners. The strategy we're employing is to provide rich tools to identify energy efficiency problems in hardware and software. For Windows 7, we've added a new inbox utility that provides an HTML report of energy efficiency issues—a "Top 10" checklist of power problems. If you want to try it out on Windows 7, run powercfg /energy at an elevated command prompt. Be sure to close any open applications and documents before running powercfg—this utility is designed to find energy efficiency problems when the system is idle. powercfg with the /energy parameter can detect USB devices that are not suspending and applications that have increased the platform timer resolution.
For more advanced analysis, we have provided the Windows Performance Toolkit. The Performance Toolkit http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/sysperf/perftools.mspx makes it very easy for software developers to observe the resource utilization of their applications, resolve performance bottlenecks and identify issues impacting energy efficiency.
So far, we have been talking about how to save power while the PC is ON. But, there are power savings to gain by entering low power modes when the PC is not in use. Many users simply Shut Down their computer when it is not in use, yet others use Sleep and sometimes Hibernate on mobile PCs. Windows features each of these power-saving modes so you can choose the right mode for how you use the system:
Using an example desktop PC, we measured power consumption for Sleep, Hibernate, Shut Down and the basic ON state, with just the desktop shown and no open programs. We also measured resume latency—the amount of time to get the system back to the ON state.
The chart makes it pretty clear why we focus on Sleep reliability and performance, and encourage most people to use it when they are not using their computer. Sleep consumes nearly the same amount of power as Shut Down, but resumes the system in less than 2 seconds, instead of going through the boot process. You can see that boot takes a significant amount of power so when considering whether to turn off your machine to save power or to put it into a low power state, think about how long your machine will be out of use. Nevertheless, as we've talked about in previous blogs boot (and shutdown) are obviously very important performance scenarios as we engineer Windows 7.
We are committed to continuously improving the energy efficiency of Windows PCs, and have made significant improvements to core platform power management for Windows 7, as well as tools to identify where power is consumed. We still have more work to do, and look forward to our upcoming Beta release and monitoring incoming CEIP telemetry for energy efficiency and power management results. Of course we continue to work very closely with the other members of the ecosystem as we all have much to contribute to energy efficiency—from the manufacturing, usage, and end of life of a PC, software, and peripherals.
Fantastic post, great work plus struggle, this remarkable post is interesting and informative, I do not use Sleep mode, I refuse to take the risk that it won't come out of sleep mode, it's my personal one, Thanks

Great tricks and excellent article to. I can still manually resume it, but I can leave the system idle for days, and it want go back to sleep. A reboot usually fixes it for a while. The monitor always goes blank on time, and it never wakes up on it's own. Research paper writing is good topic in my college.
keep it up!
I like this informative post, i use shutdown or Hibernate because in effect, everything is saved to disk and when restarting, everything is reloaded and all devices are re-enabled from scratch.
thank you so much.
How can you save engergy if you have (want) to work the whole day with the cpu on? If I don't need it I shut down an d go to bed;-) The post is of course helpfull anyway! Goog on you!
Nice post, I can still manually resume it, but I can leave the system idle for days, and it want go back to sleep. A reboot usually fixes it for a while. The monitor always goes blank on time, and it never wakes up on it's own. This is fantastic article, keep it up
Interesting article, but I think too that the computer should be shut down if one knows, that it won't be need for the next hours. But despite everything one should think of energy efficiency like you do.

Whenever i see the post like your's i feel that there are still helpful people who share information for the help of others, it must be helpful for other's. thanx and good job.
Very good information. We also provide topseohosting.com
So did Windows 7 optimize the polling of a non-suspending USB device? In my case, it is the fingerprint reader too.
Great article! I always have the problem that I have to update our website http://www.welcon.de during a longer driveand it was only possible for two hours.
It is so good to see that with Seven, an operating system is now available that not only offers improvements (why else would you make a new OS in the first place, if not?!), but finally also runs stable (knock on wood!). I've had different in the past …
I think the most effective energy saver is to shut the PC off when you don't need it. I measured for one week the time my PC was on and the time I actually used it: The real usage was just 7%! Since then I watch very carefully if it really needs to be on.
Really good energy saver ... And Seven runs stable (knock on wood!) THX
According to the EULA, it can be used on any number of computers so long as they are on the same premises.

Firefox is a great browser, but it can get slow sometimes. Fasterfox is an add on that works to speed up Firefox at the touch of a button.
Fasterfox also allows you to retain a higher level of control over your network, offering you chances to control things like pipelining, your DNS cache, and simultaneous connections.
So how does it work? It caches your links. By allowing websites to cache, Fasterfox loads pages on Firefox – before you've clicked onto them! The understandable downside to this is that you will be downloading a considerable amount of cached material, potentially effecting your bandwidth needs. This may or may not be something that concerns you, but if it is, consider Fasterfox Lite (which offers you the control as to whether or not to cache).
Fasterfox consumes a bit more bandwidth on your computer and forces your RAM to work a little harder, but noticeably speeds up your Firefox. This may be one trade off you should be considering.

Letter: Empty rhetoric on jobs
Steve Martin
President Barack Obama says he wants to create jobs, particularly for the middle class. Sounds great. Everyone agrees. However, his actions are exactly the opposite.
For example, he has opposed the Keystone pipeline project for five years. The president states it will create 2,000 jobs, mostly union construction jobs. This is the low-end projection. His State Department estimate is 43,000 — quite a difference. His actions have prevented these jobs from starting. And he states repeatedly that he wants new jobs.
Keystone is but one part of the shale oil project that has the potential to make North America energy independent from Mideast oil imports. The significance of this is astounding: no more bowing to the Arab oil magnates; the end of expensive activities to maintain relationships with American-hating dictatorships; the redeployment of excess defense funds to American-based growth incentives. What motivations does the president have that allow him to make decisions to keep Americans dependent on Arabs?
While the president and his family vacation in a taxpayer-rented $7.6 million Martha's Vineyard house, the rest of America struggles to pay bills while curtailing or canceling summer vacations.

A cutting tip for a rotary motor-driven cutting instrument for cataract surgery consists of a hollow stationary tube and a tubular cutter journaled therein and projecting therefrom, the cutting tip being open at its end and having concentric axially directed arcuate cutting edge portions. An annular passage extends between the concentric tubes, and the stationary tube has an orifice in the side close to the tip. An irrigating fluid is adapted to be discharged through the side opening of the stationary tube, and a suction connection to the internal tube is effective to remove severed tissue through the hollow rotatable internal cutter.
1. An axially extending cutting tip assembly for fragmenting and coring tissue during cataract surgery comprising in combination with a supporting handle portion and an outer stator tube fixed with relation to the handle portion, an inner rotor tube rotatable about its longitudinal axis within said stator tube and projecting axially through and from a constricted and closely fitted free forward end of said stator tube, said rotor tube having a free projecting end outside the stator tube and having a sharp cutting edge at said projecting end defining a circle perpendicular to the axis of the tube.
2. The cutting tip of claim 1 wherein said cutting edge is continuous.
3. The cutting tip of claim 1 wherein said cutting edge is discontinuous.
4. The cutting tip of claim 3 wherein said cutting edge comprises a pair of diametrically opposed arcuate segments separated by axial slots.
5. The cutting tip of claim 3 wherein said cutting edge comprises a plurality of arcuate segments lying entirely in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation and separated by axial serrations.
The present application is a continuation in part of United States Patent application Ser. No. 354,376, filed Apr. 25, 1973, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,882,872, granted May 13, 1975, entitled "Method and Apparatus For Cataract Surgery."
The instruments disclosed in the above-mentioned patent application Ser. No. 354,376 include cutting tips having a generally cylindrical configuration with a combined cutting edge and suction orifice at the side of the tip adjacent the end and which are effective for certain operative procedures where the tip of the instrument is moved laterally to remove the cataractous tissue. In order to core and fragment some such tissue prior to the use of one of the side cutters, improved end cutting tips disclosed in said prior application are provided, which the surgeon may use initially to speed the operative procedure, and with substantial benefit to the patient.
In line with the above, the object of the present invention is to provide for an instrument of the character described an improved cutting tip which is adapted to core fragment tissue to assist in the separation and removal thereof.
A related object is to provide such an improved tip of the end cutting type which is constructed similarly to and is quickly interchangeable with side cutting tips of the types disclosed in the aforementioned prior application.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent upon consideration of the present disclosure in its entirety.
FIG. 1 is a substantially diametric longitudinal sectional view of a surgical instrument equipped with a cutting tip constructed in accordance with the present invention, some of the parts being shown in elevation;
FIG. 2 is a cross section taken substantially on the line II--II of FIG. 1 and looking in the direction of the arrow;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view of the cutting tip, showing adjacent parts somewhat diagrammatically;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the end of the cutting tip, on a further enlarged scale;
FIG. 5 is a view of the stator, partly in side elevation and partly in diametric longitudinal section, on a greatly enlarged scale and centrally broken away;
FIG. 6 is a similar view of the outer end of the rotor;
FIGS. 7 and 8 are views similar to FIG. 6 showing modified forms of rotor cutting tip ends;
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the tip end portion of the rotor of FIG. 7; and
FIG. 10 is a view similar to FIG. 9 of the tip end portion of the rotor of FIG. 8.
As disclosed in FIG. 1 the cutting instrument or probe generally designated 150 comprises a generally tubular motor housing 152 and a generally tubular spindle body 154 threaded onto the forward end of housing 152 as at 156. A 12-volt DC permanent magnet motor 158 is contained within housing 152, and a gear head 160 is mounted onto the axially forward end of motor 158. The forward end of motor 158 is telescopically inserted into the open rear end of the gear head housing. A tubular shell 164 is telescopically inserted over the rear end of motor 158 to enclose the terminal connector construction via which electricity is conducted to motor 158. A pair of spring-loaded electrical terminals 166, 168 extend through the rear of shell 164 and are biased into engagement with suitable electrical connections in an end plug 170 which is threaded into the open rear end of housing 152 as at 172. A cable 174 containing positive, negative and ground wires leads from plug 170 to a three-terminal connector 176 which is adapted to be connected to a source of 12-volt DC power for energizing motor 158. The diametrically reduced forward end of gear head 160 fits within a correspondingly diametrically-reduced forward portion of the bore of housing 152. An annular anti-slip disk 178 is fitted over this diametrically-reduced portion of gear head 160. The annular forwardly facing shoulder of gear head 160 bears against the shoulder 179 within the bore of housing 152 through anti-slip disk 178. The axial force with which gear head 160 bears against shoulder 179 is determined by the compression of the springs associated with terminals 166, 168 when end plug 170 is threaded onto body 152. The frictional contact provided by disk 178 between gear head 160 and shoulder 179 prevents motor 158 from angularly slipping within the bore of housing 152 when motor torque is developed. A drive shaft 180 having an open diametrical slot 182 at the forward end thereof protrudes from the diametrically reduced forward portion of gear head 160. When electric power is applied via connector 176 through terminals 166, 168 to motor 158, shaft 180 rotates. The speed of shaft 180 is equal to the speed of motor 158 divided by the gear ratio of gear head 160. Gear reduction of 6.3 to 1 and 11.8 to 1 have been found to provide suitable ranges of cutting speeds when used in conjunction with motor 158 having a maximum speed of 11,000 rpm. (Without a gear head up to 11,000 rpm can be obtained.) It will be appreciated that the optimum cutting speed will depend upon the cutter tip construction and the nature of the surgery. The speed may be varied according to well-known techniques by varying the percentage of voltage applied to the motor.
A drive shaft 184 is journaled for rotation within spindle body 154 via a pair of axially spaced glass filled Teflon bearings 186 and 188. The rear end of shaft 184 is operatively coupled for rotation with shaft 180 via an axial lost motion coupling which will be explained later in greater detail. Bearings 186 and 188 are inserted into opposite ends of diametrically reduced bore segments 190, 192 which are separated by a further diametrically reduced bore segment 194. A coil spring 196 is disposed around the portion of shaft 184 within bore portion 194. Spring 196 bears against washers 198 and 200 which are arranged within bore segments 190 and 192 respectively so that washer 198 compresses an annular seal 202 between itself and bearing 186 and washer 200 compresses an annular seal 204 between itself and bearing 188 to thereby seal the ends of bore segment 194. Bearings 186 and 188 are retained axially in the illustrated position with the respective lips bearing against shoulders at the ends of bore segments 190 and 192. Retention is effected by means of a tubular adapter body 212 which is inserted over and affixed to the end of shaft 184 which protrudes forwardly through bearing 186, and a tubular coupling 226 which is threaded onto the rear end of shaft 184 as at 234. Coupling 226 is threaded onto shaft 184 an amount sufficient to draw adapter 212 against bearing 186 and itself (i.e., coupling 226) against bearing 188 whereby adapter body 212 and coupling 226 retain bearings 186 and 188 in the illustrated position.
A tubular conduit 206 is inserted into an inclined bore in the side wall of body 154 to intercept bore segment 194. A passage 208 extends rearwardly through shaft 184 from the forward end thereof and terminates at a hole 210 in the side wall of shaft 184. Hole 210 opens to the axially sealed annular space 207 around shaft 184 within bore segment 194. The adapter 246 of a cutting tip assembly 216 is threaded onto the forward end of adapter body 212 as at 214. Thus a passage is provided from tube 206 through space 207, hole 210, passage 208 and coupling 226 to adapter 212. As will be seen in greater detail hereinafter, aspirating suction is applied to this passage and thence through tip 216 to the cutting area thereof.
An end cap 218 is threaded onto the forward end of spindle body 154 as at 219. Cap 218 and the forward end of body 154 are arranged relative to adapter body 212 such that an axially extending free space 221 is provided around adapter body 212 within the instrument. An inlet tube 220 is inserted into an inclined bore in body 154 to intercept space 221. As will be seen in greater detail hereinafter, irrigating fluid is introduced via tube 220, through space 221 and a passage in tip assembly 216 for dispensing irrigating fluid onto the surgical area. The portion of tip assembly 216 forward of adapter 246 extends through the bore of end cap 218 and the tip assembly is retained by means of a collet and nut 222 which is inserted over the forward end of tip assembly 216 and threaded onto the forward end of end cap 218 as at 223. An O-ring gasket 224 seals the bore of end cap 218 around tip 216. A clip 239 for retaining flexible conduits to tubes 206 and 220 is provided around housing 152.
The coupling arrangement between shaft 180 and shaft 184 provides an axial lost motion connection whereby axial forces from shaft 180 are not transmitted through to the cutting tip 216, and the motor and gear head can be readily assembled and replaced if necessary. Details of this coupling can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2. A pair of diametrically opposed axial slots 228 in coupling 226 extend forwardly from the rear end thereof. A key 229 extends diametrically across the rear end of coupling 226 with the ends of key 229 received in slots 228. The key is suitably shaped so that it cannot be substantially displaced radially of the coupling. An annular retaining ring 232 around coupling 226 axially retains key 229 in slots 228. A coupling spring 233 is disposed within coupling 226 and bears against the rear end of shaft 184 and the central portion of key 229 thereby biasing key 229 axially rearwardly against ring 232. When end plug 170 is being threaded onto spindle body 154, the motor and gear head are urged axially forwardly so that shaft 180 fits into the bore of coupling 226 and slot 182 engages the central portion of key 229. This provides an axial lost motion connection with key 229 being displaced axially forwardly of coupling 226 against the bias of spring 233 an amount sufficient to accommodate the motor and gear head. Furthermore in the assembled instrument any axial loading on shaft 184 by shaft 180 is cushioned by spring 233.
The details of cutting tip assemmbly 216 are illustrated in FIGS. 3, 4, 5 and 6. Cutting tip assembly 216 represents one form of tip which may be used with instruments such as shown herein and in said prior patent application. The assembly 216 comprises a tubular stator 112 and a rotary cutter generally designated 114. The stator is sealed with respect to the instrument by the O-ring 224, as noted above, and is open at its rear end into the chamber 221. The rotary cutter, which is an uninterrupted tube, continues therethrough and has a fluid-tight mechanical connection to coupling body 212. The O.D. of the rotor is less than the I.D. of the stator so that an annular axially extending fluid passage 246 is provided between the stator and rotor tubes. One or more discharge openings 250 are provided in tube 112 at the forward end thereof. As illustrated the openings may be of circular shape and may face generally radially outwardly. The irrigating fluid which enters instrument 150 via tube 220 flows through space 221, into the rear end of stator 112, along passage 246 and out via openings 250 onto the surgical area. The rear end of rotor 114 is welded in the bore in adapter 246. The bore 264 of rotor 114 is thereby open to passage 208. Aspirating suction which enters instrument 150 via tube 206 is transmitted through passage 208, and bore 264, to the open forward end of the rotor tip. With suction applied to tube 206 excess irrigating fluid as well as cut tissue pieces can be sucked through the open end of rotor 114, along bore 264 and passage 208 back for discharge via tube 206. When motor 158 is energized, the rotation of shaft 180 is transmitted via coupling 226, shaft 184 and adapter body 212 to turn adapter 246 and hence rotor 114. The stator is constrained against rotation by collet nut 222.
Referring to FIG. 4, the open forward end of inner tube 114 projects beyond the end of the stator and is honed around the outside to a generally conical shape which tapers radially inwardly in the forward direction as at 118 so that tube 114 has a razor-sharp cutting edge 120 lying substantially on a circle in a plane perpendicular to the axis of tip 216. Aspiration is effected through the bore 264 of inner tube 114, as noted.
A second "end-core" cutting tip 122, shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, is of generally similar construction having outer and inner tubular portions 124 and 126 respectively corresponding to portions 112, 114 and a discharge opening 128 for the irrigating fluid passage between the inner and outer tubes. Aspiration is via the bore of inner tube 126. The projecting forward end of inner tube 126 is also open ended and conically honed as at 130, but a plurality of circumferentially spaced axial serrations 132 are provided around the forward end of the tube. Thus, the cutting edge of tube 126 is not circumferentially continuous as was edge 120 of tip portion 114, but rather inner tube 126 has a plurality of individual arcuate razor-sharp cutting edges 134 lying substantially on a circle perpendicular to the tip axis.
A third "end-core" cutting tip 136 shown in FIGS. 8 and 10 is of generally similar construction and the open forward end of inner tube 140 is also externally conically honed as at 144. A pair of diametrically opposed rectangular slots 146, extend axially rearwardly from the forward end of tube 140. In this way tube 140, which in other respects corresponds to inner tubes 114, 126 previously described, has a pair of diametrically opposed, arcuately extending, razor-sharp cutting edges 148 lying substantially on a circle perpendicular to the tip axis. Aspiration is via the bore of inner tube 140 as in the other embodiments hereof.
As mentioned before, the particular advantage of the "end-core" type cutting tip resides in its coring and fragmenting capability. With the "end-core" tip of the present invention such coring and fragmenting is greatly facilitated and represents a notable improvement in surgical procedures. Thus by virtue of the present invention, calcified or fibrous plaques of lens opacity can be fragmented, and aspirated as can dense, rigid, congenital posterior polar cataract, membranous traumatic-after-cataract and senile brunescent nuclear cataract. The cutting tips herein disclosed do not possess the shearing type cutting action of the side cutting tips described in the aforementioned parent patent application Ser. No. 354,376; rather tip portions 216, 124 and 136 exhibit cutting action, which results in fragmentation and coring of tissue, when the rotating rotor is pressed slightly into the tissue axially. Cutting can be done with or without simultaneous aspiration and irrigation according to the desire of the surgeon performing the procedure. By intially using any of the "end-core" tips in a surgical procedure, larger masses of tissue can be efficiently broken apart and sucked up by the cutting instrument. As a result the invention can provide improved efficiency by reducing overall surgical time, while simultaneously, because of its improved cutting action, minimizing or eliminating the risk of injury to adjacent tissue which is not intended to be removed.
This Detailed Description of Preferred Forms of the Invention, and the accompanying drawings, have been furnished in compliance with the statutory requirement to set forth the best mode contemplated by the inventors of carrying out the invention. The prior portions consisting of the "Abstract of the Disclosure" and the "Background of the Invention" are furnished without prejudice to comply with administrative requirements of the Patent Office.

Respond to Review of Gentle Gourmet Cafe
by lachat
Review: We had breakfast twice and dinner once at this great vegan restaurant. The food was perfect, the staff very friendly. We also took away sandwiches which were amazing (traditional "ham&cheese" baguette). It's a relaxing place, the service was slow but it was on a weekend where half of the staff was away and we were explained the waiting time beforehand, so very well organised. Advise to book.

TSP loans, hardship withdrawals hit 10-year high last year
More Thrift Savings Plan participants withdrew money from their accounts early in 2013 than in any other year over the past decade. The board processed a total of 291,000 loans and about 138,000 hardship withdrawals last year, according to statistics presented at the board's monthly meeting Monday. More than 14,000 of the hardship withdrawals taken last year came during the month of October, when partisan gridlock led to a 16-day government shutdown and financial uncertainty and delayed paychecks for thousands of federal employees.

Feds who took TSP withdrawals during shutdown locked out of contributing for next six months
During the 16-day government shutdown last month, more than 14,000 Thrift Savings Plan participants withdrew money from their accounts, the highest number of hardship withdrawals in a single month ever. This may have helped participants weather the financial uncertainty of the shutdown. But, under TSP rules, it also means they'll be unable to contribute to their 401(k)-style retirement accounts for the next six months. Now, the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, which oversees the TSP, is concerned that not all those participants will take the initiative to restart their contributions when the penalty period expires next spring.

2008 Asia - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband in Indonesia and Timor Leste Provides a Comprehensive Overview of the Trends and Developments in These Markets.
This 14th edition provides a comprehensive overview of the trends and developments in the telecommunications markets in Indonesia and Timor Leste.
Subjects covered include:
- Key Statistics;
- Market and Industry Overviews;
- Regulatory Environment;
- Major Players (fixed and mobile);
- Infrastructure;
- Mobile Voice and Data Markets;
- Internet, including VoIP;
- Broadband (DSL, cable modem, wireless).
Executive Summary:
Indonesia continues to see its telecommunications sector grow, despite the occasional setback. The country of around 250 million people is obviously a huge potential market; however, it has some particularly big challenges to confront in building the necessary telecommunications infrastructure to cover a uniquely complex geography. At the same time, the nation has had to deal with a range of social, political and economic issues that have been proving problematic.
The government has been gradually reshaping the telecom industry, a process that took on a new impetus following the Asian economic crisis of the late 1990s. In more recent times, Indonesia has been experiencing healthy sustained growth in subscriber numbers and revenues. While fixed-line teledensity remains disconcertingly low (just over 8% in early 2008), the advent of fixed wireless services has boosted the growth rate in the last few years and provided much-needed basic telephone services to previously unserved communities. The roll-out of fixed wireless infrastructure has been well supported by the operators with Bakrie Telecom and PT Telkom leading the way. Although the statistics were somewhat imprecise, by end-2007 fixed wireless services made up about half the total fixed-line subscriber base.
In the meantime, Indonesia's mobile market continues to grow, expanding at an annual rate of close to 50%. By early 2008 the total mobile subscriber base had passed 90 million, up from 12 million just six years earlier. While the country's mobile penetration was suddenly approaching 40%, the industry view was that there was still considerable potential for further growth in the market. It was expected that the milestone of 120 million mobile subscribers would be reached by end-2008. At the same time market interest started to focus on the 3G services already being offered by five operators. Telkomsel was indeed making its presence felt in the market, claiming about 80% of the five million 3G subscribers at end-2007.
Timor Leste (formerly East Timor):
The political instability and outbreaks of civil unrest that erupted in Timor Leste in April/May 2006 continued into the first half of 2007. Despite the election of a new government led by Nobel Peace Laureate Jose Ramos Horta in May/June 2007 opposition to the administration caused further outbreaks of violence and looting. To the outside observer, the country appeared to have started reasonably well in rebuilding its entire infrastructure following the turbulence that ensued after the referendum of 1999. However, the events of 2006/07 caused major concerns about the direction of the Timor Leste; it remained difficult to assess the long term impact of these events on the country's fragile economy and the process of infrastructure building.
Then, in February 2008 President Ramos Horta was shot and severely wounded in an attack led by rebel Alfredo Reinado (who was allegedly involved in the unrest of April/May 2006). A short time later a convoy including Prime Minister Gusmao was fired upon. The Prime Minister was uninjured. Responding to the attacks, the government declared a state of emergency. President Ramos-Horta returned in April 2008, after receiving medical treatment in Australia. The state of emergency ended in May 2008, following the surrender of most of the rebels.
Note: Coverage provided of Timor Leste's telecoms market is relatively limited due to its early development stage.

US praises Israelis, Palestinians for peace talks
Even so, a new dispute broke out on Sunday.
Israel's trade minister, Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, accused Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad of trying to derail Israel's application to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Fayyad is a respected economist with strong international contacts.
"We should not bring politics into organizations that deal with economics and trade," Ben-Eliezer said.
Fayyad's office did not immediately comment, though he has in the past spoken out against Israel's membership in the OECD.
The 31-member organization must vote unanimously to accept new members. It is expected to announce a decision on Monday.
Israeli officials say acceptance would be an important stamp of approval for its economy, boost the country's credit rating and strengthen ties with foreign investors.
Opponents argue that Israel's occupation of the West Bank and discriminatory treatment of its own Arab citizens put the country at odds with the OECD's commitment to human rights.
Also Sunday, Israel's president, Shimon Peres, said he has turned to Russia to ease tensions with Syria.
Peres' office announced Sunday that Russia's president agreed to deliver an Israeli message to Syrian leader Bashar Assad later this week. Peres and Dmitry Medvedev met in Moscow during the annual commemoration ceremony marking the end of World War II.
Peres said Israel wants peace with Syria but that it must stop alleged weapons transfers to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Peres recently accused Syria of transferring Scud missiles to Hezbollah. Syria denies the charge.
Associated Press writers Mohammed Daraghmeh in Ramallah, West Bank, and Karoun Demirjian in Jerusalem contributed to this report.
CORRECTS spelling of Russian president's first name to Dmitry.

LOS ANGELES — In a season where so much Lakers success has hinged on Kobe Bryant's controlled demeanor, this was a completely wild thing that wound up a surprising 108-95 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats. It was a loss that saw Bryant firing missed jumpers all over the Staples Center court — and then leaving the court early via an ejection that leaves him on the brink of NBA suspension.
That's separate from the possibility that Bryant could be suspended for what got him ejected — kicking the ball at referee David Jones — and yelling one last loud expletive at him before exiting.
Bryant drew two technical fouls Wednesday night, increasing his league-leading total to 15. He will be suspended for a game if he reaches 16 technical fouls in the regular season — and suspended another game for every second technical foul thereafter.
He left the arena without comment, and when asked in the first question of his postgame press conference about Bryant's technical-foul bind, Coach Phil Jackson laughed and referred to his opening statement about not having any answers for what happened out there.
"See ya', guys," Jackson said brightly before he ducked away.
Just before that, Jackson had called his team "tremendously out of control, in more ways than one." They were trailing, 96-86, with 4:09 to play when Bryant drew his first technical foul for complaining that no held-ball ruling resulted from a Lakers backcourt trap. He had been griping about calls all night but had not sustained his arguments and did not draw any technicals previously.
After the first technical foul and Matt Carroll's missed foul shot, Bryant tried to barge down the lane but had his desperate left-handed shot blocked by Emeka Okafor. At the other end, Bryant chased the ball and gambled for steals and wound up setting up Carroll for a 3-pointer and a 99-86 lead with 3:40 left.
Visibly frustrated at seeing the ball drop through the net, Bryant kicked at it rather than pick it up for the subsequent inbounds pass. He kicked it a little too hard from about 15 feet away into Jones' stomach. Jones caught the ball and then called the technical foul and ejected Bryant — who stood in disbelief before barking that final expletive and waving his hand at Jones.
Bryant, a big soccer fan with daughter Natalia having begun playing the game, had kicked the ball more successfully Monday night in Oakland, delivering a soft right-footed kick from midcourt back to the end line for Golden State to inbound after Derek Fisher's 3-pointer rolled back up court.
Fisher broke from the norm and met with reporters before showering when he was left to answer for his fellow team captain, Bryant.
"He's smart enough to realize where he is," Fisher said of Bryant's proximity to suspension. "He'll be there for us when he needs to."
Jackson has excused many of Bryant's technical fouls as being shows of support for teammates. And after Bryant got his 13th technical foul March 9 in a loss to Sacramento, Bryant said: "I'm not concerned at all."
He went the past eight games without drawing a technical. Last season, Bryant had 14 technical fouls but was able to back off down the stretch and avoid suspension.
Bryant's play Wednesday night before his ejection wasn't very controlled either: Playing with extra padding on the right ankle he twisted Sunday night, Bryant still didn't have a good base for his jump shot. He shot poorly Monday at Golden State before changing up to score more on drives. He did the same thing Wednesday: After a 4-for-14 shooting start and with Charlotte having opened its lead up to 65-46, Bryant scored on back-to-back layups.
He wound up scoring the Lakers' first 15 points of the second half, single-handedly trying to strong-arm momentum to his side. It didn't work. The Charlotte lead was still at 10 points after Bryant's streak.

Mobile Alliance for Maternal Action (MAMA) selected as finalist for Fast Company 2012 Innovation By Design Award
Mobile phones bring life-saving health information to millions of new and expectant moms in developing countries
Washington, DC (PRWEB) September 12, 2012
The Mobile Alliance for Maternal Action (MAMA) has been named an Innovation By Design Award finalist by Fast Company. The competition generated more than 1,700 entries from Ford to Facebook, NASA to Nike; winners will be announced on October 16, 2012. Submissions were vetted by 27 prominent judges, from MoMA senior curator Paola Antonelli to Coca-Cola vice-president of innovation David Butler. According to Fast Company, the finalists represent "the year´s most inspiring, ingenious, and innovative design solutions."
Nominated in the "service design" category, MAMA is highlighted for its progress made in its first year, providing vital and culturally sensitive health information to new and expectant mothers in 35 countries from Afghanistan to Zambia with a projected reach of over 20 million moms, via its free mobile phone adaptable messaging service and its country programs. MAMA Bangladesh will launch nationally next month, after successful use of mobile messaging in four regions. Country programs in South Africa and India are also underway.
MAMA was launched Mother´s Day 2011 by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to address the 287,000 maternal deaths and 3.1 million newborn deaths that occur each year, and is a partnership between the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Johnson & Johnson, the United Nations Foundation, BabyCenter, and the mHealth Alliance, which also serves as the partnership secretariat.
"This continues to be an extraordinary year for MAMA, and we are thrilled to be nominated for a Fast Company Innovation by Design Award," said Kirsten Gagnaire, MAMA Global Director. "MAMA harnesses the power of mobile phones to deliver critical health information directly into the hands of the hardest-to-reach moms, enabling mothers and babies everywhere to survive and thrive."
MAMA subscribers register for the mobile phone service by indicating the expected due date, or the birthday of their recently born child, and receive weekly health messages and reminders during the pregnancy and up to the infant´s first birthday. Timed messages include tips on everything from proper nutrition, newborn care, breastfeeding, immunizations, and connections to local health resources.
While maternal death rates have been reduced by roughly 47 percent since 1990, every day there are still nearly 800 women that do not survive childbirth or pregnancy. And newborn deaths remain staggeringly high, constituting nearly half of all under-five child deaths (40 percent). Nearly all these deaths — 99 percent — occur in the developing world. Most of these deaths are preventable with basic knowledge and care, still beyond the reach of millions of impoverished moms.
"We are proud of our partnership and this special recognition from Fast Company," said Patty Mechael, executive director of the mHealth Alliance. "More than one billion women in low- and middle-income countries own mobile phones. By combining available technology and credible health information, the world has the knowledge and opportunity to help prevent millions of deaths and improve quality of life for moms and babies."

The Mobile Alliance for Maternal Action (MAMA) engages an innovative global community to deliver vital health information to new and expectant mothers through mobile phones. MAMA is making a three-year, $10 million investment to create and strengthen programs in three countries — Bangladesh, India and South Africa — and to enhance global capability of new and existing mobile health information programs for moms in those countries and beyond.

LOS ANGELES - A football season had come and gone without him, and now as he drifted into a second soul-searching winter, Jim Mora rose at 5:30 on weekday mornings, a man in a hurry to find daylight.
Mora had spent nearly his entire adult life walking NFL sidelines. He had taken Atlanta to one game from reaching the Super Bowl. He had coached his hometown Seattle Seahawks. But Mora had never felt content, never felt at home. He had spent his entire career climbing, but toward what?
So as he tried to make sense of his ambition and disappointment, Mora, fired by Seattle during the 2010 season, found himself rising before dawn and driving from his home in suburban Bellevue, across Lake Washington to the University of Washington, his alma mater, and the Huskies' 6 a.m. winter conditioning workouts. He drove through the darkness not realizing the bridge was carrying him to another place.
This week Mora, 50, will conduct his first practice as a college head coach, convinced he can rebuild an underachieving and often dysfunctional UCLA program into a national player. But the coach who will walk onto Spaulding Field on Tuesday is not the same man who spent nearly 30 years in the NFL.
To get to Westwood, Mora first had to cross a bridge.
Mora brings to UCLA a hard-nosed intensity and a tireless work ethic, but just as important a sense of destiny forged in the months he spent around the Washington program in 2011.It was a transformative period on the western shore of Lake Washington during which the NFL lifer came to the realization the college game was his true calling.
"It just captured me," Mora said. "For the first time in my career I feel content. This feels pure. This feels right."
He is the son of a well known and successful coach, former New Orleans and Indianapolis coach Jim Mora. The younger Mora has counted Don James, his coach at Washington, former UCLA boss Terry Donahue and the late Bill Walsh among his mentors.
But it was an impromptu conversation with a 21-year-old linebacker that changed the course of his career, pointing him in a direction that would eventually lead to Westwood.
Huskies linebacker Cort Dennison began asking Mora's advice on schemes during a morning workout. Before long Dennison was asking Mora questions about life beyond the white lines. As the conversation veered from X's and O's to the big picture there was a connection, and for Mora, a moment of clarity. He had found daylight.
"I can remember distinctly the day I said to myself I want to coach in college," Mora said. "Standing there with Cort, when he started asking me questions, it just grabbed me. After that day I connected with Cort it was most obvious to me that college football was my true path."
It is a course that friends such as Warrick Dunn, a Pro Bowl running back under Mora in Atlanta, encouraged him to take for years.
"He's a really intense, really emotional coach and I think young guys can definitely relate to his enthusiasm; he's going to do whatever it takes to make you better and players will go out and do whatever it takes for him," Dunn said.
"And he knows that game's changed from 10, 15 years ago and kids have changed. And he's the type of coach who can keep it real. I knew I could always be very candid with him, and he respects that.
"Pro football is tough. There's all these egos. I think he'll really be able to relate to college kids. The college game is another level. It's not just about winning but also getting your degree, about someone's life. He'll motivate them, he can push young guys in the right direction. I think he'll really do excellent at college."
Mora grew up around college campuses. James Lawrence Mora was born in Los Angeles while his father coached at Occidental. There was a stop at UCLA, where the Moras lived just down the street from Donahue in Westlake Village.
