Comparing the M23 and Spacewalk software distribution systems
Package Delivery
Keeping all the Linux clients in an enterprise environment up to date can be a major logistical challenge. Many harassed administrators appreciate a good software distribution system, especially if it is a free tool that doesn't stress the IT budget.
Two mouse clicks are all it takes to install the latest version of the latest spreadsheet tool on a number of computers, and the administrator doesn't even need to leave the desk. The efficiency and automation in this scenario is made possible by package distribution programs. All package distribution programs rely on a simple principle: A central server keeps and manages all the available software packages. A client can connect and download a package, or the server can push some packages onto selected clients as directed by the administrator. A good software distribution program can also uninstall clients and install client updates.

With increasing supply in the Chinese marketplace of senior care facilities, expertise in the operating management is highly urged. The admission contract is one of the essential parts of this management. Having seen poorly designed formats from some small-sized domestic facilities and the most complicated one that copies from western-style facility, I have to admit well designed admission contract is rarely found in practice—some have too many clauses in favor of the operator and lack of humanization and some miss critical elements which may lead to potential disputes in the future. To share some of the study on how to draft an admission contract that caters to the Chinese regulatory environment, I outline the 10 most essential aspects to be aware of as follows.

Friday's Betting Tips
Weather watch
Thunderstorms are in the forecast for the BMW Championship Friday. The forecast for St. Louis is calling for a 29 percent chance of rain in the morning, jumping to a 79 percent chance later in the afternoon. Golf bettors may want to take note with groups teeing off later in the day.
Betting notes and tips
Utah has won 20 of the last 22 meetings with Utah State and leads the overall series 77-28-4. However, the Aggies are only 6.5-point home underdogs after being tagged as 20-plus pups in previous years.
Blue Jays manager John Farrell declared that LHP Ricky Romero will skip Saturday's start against Boston in favor of his next one on Wednesday. Farrell contends that the extra rest will be a positive for Romero, who has lost 12 consecutive decisions.
Colorado has never been shut out in three consecutive games. The Rockies were blanked 1-0 in the final two games with the Braves this week. Colorado takes on Philadelphia and Cliff Lee Friday with a total of 7.5 runs.
Pirates SP A.J. Burnett has pitched 14 1-3 scoreless innings in two starts against the Cubs this season, allowing seven hits and four walks while striking out 14. The Bucs are -191 home faves versus the Cubbies with a total of 7.5 runs.
Minnesota has taken seven of 11 meetings with Cleveland this season. The Twins are -128 home faves vs. the Tribe.
The Braves went 3-for-35 with runners in scoring position in the four games against Colorado. Atlanta played under the total in all four and face a 7.5-run number against the Mets Friday.
Seattle RB Marshawn Lynch is still a question mark for Sunday's season opener against Arizona. He was limited in practice this week due to a nagging back ailment and has suffered through back spasms since his days at Cal. The Seahawks are 1-point road favorites versus the Cardinals.

Five Things You Need to Know for Friday, Sept. 7
Five Things You Need to Know in Sports
Want to start your sports day off right? Looking for some action and the most interesting events of the day? There is a full baseball schedule and one college game on Friday night. Here is a brief look at the top four important matchups of the day along with a glance at future odds.
1)Utah State at Utah, Romney Stadium from Logan, UT
Utah visits Romney Stadium in Logan, Utah to take on rival Utah State on Friday at 8pmET. Utah State opened with a 34-3 win over Southern Utah. The Utes are coming off a 41-0 win over Northern Colorado. Utah State will attempt to run the football with sophomore Joe Hill but Utah's defensive line will be tough to run against, led by tackle Star Lotulelei, who won the Morris Trophy as the Pac-12's top defensive lineman. Utah State is 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS win, Utah is a 7.5-point favorite with a total of 52.
2)Detroit at LA Angels, Max Scherzer (15-6, 3.93) vs. Ervin Santana (8-11, 5.32 ERA)
The Tigers are just one game behind the White Sox in the AL Central. The Angels are 7.5 games behind the Rangers in the AL West and 2.5 games behind Oakland and Baltimore for the wild card spot. The Angels are the hot team, having won 8 of 9. Both pitchers are capable of throwing gems, but both are inconsistent, especially Santana. Tigers are 17-36 in the last 53 meetings in Los Angeles. The Angels opened as a -110 favorite with a total of 8.
3)Oakland at Seattle, A.J. Griffin (4-0, 2.26 ERA) vs. Felix Hernandez (13-6, 2.51 ERA)
Oakland was swept by the Angels at home. They are still tied with Baltimore (before Thursday night's results) for the wild card. Felix Hernandez is coming off a tough start, giving up 4 runs in 7 1/3 IP against the Angels. The Mariners are just 4 games below .500 but time is running out to attempt to get to postseason. Oakland is 8-1 last 9 games on Friday. Seattle opened as a -140 favorite with a total of 6.
4)U.S. Open women's semifinals
The women's semfinals start around 1pm on ESPN2 with #1 Victoria Azarenka (-225) taking on #3 Maria Sharapova (+185) in what should be one of the loudest (grunts) matches of the tournament. Heavy favorite #4 Serena Williams (-1850) is in action later on Friday afternoon against Italian underdog #10 Sarah Errani (+1250). As for the men, with #1 Roger Federer out, this should open it up for #3 Andy Murray (-215), who faces #6 Tomas Berdych (+178), who upset Federer on Wednesday night.
5)Odds to Win 2012-13 NBA Championship
The NBA season starts on October 30, so we are less than 2 months away. Miami is a big favorite but after acquiring Steve Nash and Dwight Howard, the Lakers are right behind the Heat and just ahead of the Thunder. The future odds from Bovada are listed below.
Odds to win 2013 NBA Championship
Miami Heat 9/4
Los Angeles Lakers 5/2
Oklahoma City Thunder 5/1
Chicago Bulls 12/1
San Antonio Spurs 18/1
Boston Celtics 22/1
Los Angeles Clippers 22/1

Glenn Beck: The Man With The Plan
This guy's passion is what draws people to him.
– Education is key, and not just for our children. To that end, we will be conducting a series of conventions. These will be full-day experiences where you will be immersed in learning about topics ranging from self-reliance, community organizing, the economy and how to be a political force in your own neighborhood and country. The first one will be in Orlando at UCF Arena on March 27th…
– All of the above will culminate in The Plan, a book that will provide specific policies, principles and, most importantly, action steps that each of us can take to play a role in this Refounding.
– On August 28, 2010, I ask you, your family and neighbors to join me at the feet of Abraham Lincoln on the National Mall for the unveiling of The Plan and the birthday of a new national movement to restore our great country.
I haven't heard the plan, so I can't comment on whether it will work or if its a Glenn Beck daydream, but taking action to fill this vaccum is commendable. I'm looking forward to hearing the details.
Update: Responding to some feedback…some capitalists don't think it is cohesive to build a movement and try to sell a book in the same move. Would it help if Beck stated a certain portion of the proceeds would go towards promoting the movement?

CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
Volunteers from a variety of campus groups will be available to help new students move their belongings into University of Colorado Boulder residence halls Aug. 16 and Aug. 18 as New Student Move-In begins next week.
The University of Colorado Boulder has released results from a study of its undergraduates' participation in the 2011 "420" gathering on the CU-Boulder campus. The study was done by CU-Boulder's Office of Housing and Dining Services and was sent to all CU-Boulder undergraduate students on April 21, 2011 -- the day after the gathering on the campus.
Latino adolescents who share knowledge from the classroom, new media and information technology among immigrant families function as "civic information leaders," a new study by the University of Colorado Boulder shows.
Longtime University of Colorado Law School Dean David Getches, who had stepped down on June 30 in order to return to the school's faculty, died today. He was 68.
Community gardeners eat more vegetables, exercise more, weigh less and feel healthier than nongardeners -- and even home gardeners -- in the Denver-metro area, researchers led by scholars from the University of Colorado have found.
A famed Russian director will direct one of four plays to be offered at this summer's Colorado Shakespeare Festival at the University of Colorado Boulder, including two bilingual performances.
The University of Colorado Boulder will host the 2011 Linguistics Institute from July 7 to Aug. 2, a prestigious gathering of faculty and students from around the world that also will feature free films, workshops and lectures open to the public.
As the nation recognizes the 150th anniversary of the Civil War's start, public interest has been rekindled in the war and the numerous memorials and monuments marking historic figures, sites and battlegrounds in states around the country.
University of Colorado Boulder environmental design students are kicking off a community discussion on the future of University Hill public space through a series of installations being placed throughout the neighborhood this week.
In an extensive survey of the University of Colorado Boulder's nearly 30,000 students, overwhelming majorities of respondents had an approving view of the campus's social climate -- the extent to which CU-Boulder makes students feel welcome, valued and supported. Around four in five respondents reported feeling intellectually stimulated often or very often. A similar proportion said they felt welcome and accepted, and nearly nine in ten said they felt comfortable in their classes.
Every gift matters, no matter the size.
What kind of Buff will you be?

Re: Beaufort South Carolina no longer a free anchor
One can only wonder whether a 'cruising boat' burning up yesterday in the Miami Beach anchorage might renew the pressure for more 'regulation' of the popular anchorage south of the Venetian causeway...
Fire Destroys Sailboat, Kills Pet Near Monument Island « CBS Miami
This is one of my favorite anchorages in S Florida, it's a great staging spot for crossing to the Bahamas. Very convenient to a large Publix market, drug, hardware & liquor stores, Post Office, you name it. Close to Lincoln Road, and all the attractions of Miami Beach, and the setting is spectacular, as metropolitan anchorages go. Endless parade of watercraft, one's girl-watching glasses will get a good workout around here... :-)
The spot most choose to anchor is in the lee of the high-rise condos, close to shore. I generally choose to anchor much further out, near Monument Island, where I'm always by myself.
There are a few drawbacks to the more popular anchorage, the primary one being some weird tidal current swirls in that area. Boat traffic generally passes close aboard, so you can see a lot of wakes there, it's noisier, and being so close to those high rises, I always feel my cockpit might be subject to some 'prying eyes' from some balcony 18 stories up :-) My wind generator produces more amps anchored out in the open... And finally, I'd prefer to distance myself from some of the other 'cruisers' who inhabit the anchorage closer in...
I've always been surprised by some of the boats in there, given their proximity to some very high-dollar real estate... There has been one large, very unsightly rusting steel-hulled boat with no mast that has been anchored there for years, and a smattering of other boats that appear to be teetering on the verge of derelict status...
The report is that the owner of the boat that burned yesterday had "multiple boats" anchored there... Also, that his dogs "barked all the time"... Yeah, I'm familiar with the type, hence my preference for anchoring off more by myself... :-)
This incident cannot be good news for cruisers, given the uneasy truce that has been established between the city of Miami Beach and the cruising community in recent years. Miami Beach had one of the most restrictive anchoring ordinances/policies prior to the Florida Supreme Court ruling on anchoring several years ago that struck down such local laws, but an incident like this will only provide more ammunition for the local residents to 'clean up' the anchorage, and rid the area of some of their 'less desirable' neighbors...
Sadly, we only have 'one of our own' to thank for whatever closer scrutiny or regulation is likely to come...

We stayed for three days. On arrival every thing was in order and as shown in the photographs and as discribed. We were 15 people with 2 seniors, 6 adults and 7 children. The house is 5 miniutes walk from lake mirror and the shopping area. We all enjoyed our stay and would like to visit again.
This house was perfect for our family reunion. Joe was very accomodating. The house is spacious and has a nice private yard. Kitchen appliances were great and we had no problems. Only downside for us was not enough glasses, mugs, plates and silverware for 14 people so the dishwasher was continually having to run. Also had to make up a few of the beds (the trundle and the futon) when we arrived which was no big deal. It is a short walk to Main St. and our beautiful town.
We would rent this again anytime!
The owner was very easy to deal with and accommodating.
Basically, what you see is what you get with this house. It is a charming, comfortable old house with plenty of space. The bedrooms are as pictured - some large bedrooms with more impressive beds, and also rooms with a futon, or trundle bed, etc. Plenty of space for our group of fourteen 30-year-olds.
The location of this house is perfect. In the hear of Lake Placid so it's an easy trip to Whiteface or any of the local attractions and a very short walk into town.
I would definitely consider renting here again.
the house is large enough to hold our group of 14 easily. problem is that nothing if finished. it looks good in the photos but not in person. Kitchen is pathetic, no place to cook for capacity crowd or even a few people. Owner just installed a few new appliances which may look nice but are cheap junk. the frig freezes food inside the frig part near a built in ice maker that is not hooked up. The ovens don't hold temperature. Told that they had men in prior week for remodeling, in reality they appear to be in the middle of a cluster, but they still charged top rate. obviously nothing has been thought out and the owner is just winging it. There were actually live wires sticking out of the walls in the kitchen where they intend to install things. there were sinks upstairs that did not drain, shower faucets that don't work and fall off when you turn them, no internet till we fixed it ourselves, remotes that had dead batteries (3). there is a small tv over the main living room fireplace mantle (19"monitor) that did not work but was brand new. Too small to watch if it did work. The owner actually told me he just put that in for himself. ??? the large bedrooms were set up so the beds are in the corners against cold outside walls. In one there is a Yamaha piano/ organ sitting in the place where the bed should be like we are going to have a concert in the bedroom, ridiculous setup. the dining room table is a pool table underneath, which is a novel idea and gave the kids some fun. problem is you cant sit at the table with the chairs provided cause they are 6" too low to reach the table. we were like dwarfs trying to eat dinner. Lake Placid is a fabulous town. Whiteface is a great ski mountain. look around for a better house to stay in that is WORTH the money per week for prime time rental.
We just returned from 4 days in this home. We were a group of 6 adults, 2 teens, and 3 kids aged 9-10.
We all had plenty of space in terms of bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, bathrooms, and parking. There was also lots of indoor and outdoor room to relax without feeling crowded. The property was well maintained and accurately described and pictured on VRBO. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked most meals there.
The location is very good - short walk to Main Street, and equally short drive to groceries, drugstore, and liquor store.
We would return to this property if we vacationed in Lake Placid again.
What you see is what you get. We rented the house for a family reunion in the early fall. Foliage is spectacular in September. The house easily accommodated 8 adults and 6 children. The kids loved being on the third floor with their own bathroom and TV room. Overall, it is a beautiful property, graciously and elegantly appointed. There is a grand piano and some gorgeous art.We enjoyed the view from every window and especially from the master suites balcony. The location is ideal for outdoors folks (fly fishing, skiing, boating, swimming) all within minutes and for those seeking some peace and quiet. (Wrap around porch perfect place to read and dream.) The house is two blocks to Mirror Lake, a fullservice spa, restaurants,local wine bars and coffee shops. The kids loved the cupcake bakery and equestrian events. The family gathered in the evenings to grill dinners on the porch and play pool. The dining room table opens up into a fullsized pool table. We watched DVDs and read books in the Adirondack room. We hope to get up again for a family Thanksgiving. The kitchen is cleverly designed to allow 6 cooks to work at once. Good value. Property nicely cared for. Owner went out of his way to make suggestions, particularly for the kids.

She Doesn't KnowShe doesnt know
How lovely she is,
How a radiance
And a passion for life
Shimmer about her
And infect all those
Who are lucky enough to be around her.
She doesnt know
What a brilliant mind
And remarkable ideas
Grin beneath her shy façade
And wait for the world to discover them.
She doesnt know
How she has changed me,
How her smile,
Her laughter,
Her tears,
Have attached themselves to me
And I will never shake them off.
She doesnt know.
What Is Love?Love can be good and love can be bad.
Love can make you happy or sad.
Love is a blessing and love is a curse.
Love can be for better or worse.
Love can break and tear out your heart.
Love can tear you completely apart.
Love can bring happiness to one's eyes,
As he sings joyfully up in the skies.
Love can bring torment, agony, and pain.
Love can make one go insane.
Love can bring happiness, joy, and bliss,
Making one want that one simple kiss.
Love is unique in its own special way,
But love can make someone go astray.
Love is a feeling with strength and power,
So even the strongest man will offer a flower.
Love can get you through all rough times,
Love can be a motive for worst of all crimes.
Love's that feeling that makes one be at ease.
Love's that illness that's the worst of disease.
So grab your loved one, and hold them tight.
Make them feel the love you feel you might.
For some, love lasts not long at all, never,
But for others, it lasts for all of forever.
I Fell In Love With FriendshipI love a boy.
I love his comforting hugs,
I love his wise words,
I love his goofy smiles,
His kindness, his charm,
The way he says exactly what I need
Without actually saying anything at all,
The way he makes me laugh
When I thought I'd never be able to again,
The way his eyes light up
And brighten even the darkest day.
But this boy is not my lover,
This boy is not my husband.
He is merely my friend,
And I fell in love with our friendship.

Of intricate furniture, ikat yardage, innovative diyas and more
In the profusion of high-value Sambhalpuri ikat saris, palm-leaf craft, Rajasthani lac bangles and Saharanpur's jaali brass in-lay furniture and artefacts, one can discern touches of innovation and a melding of craft skills from different parts of the country. This eclectic fusion makes for fun Deepavali shopping at the Rajasthan Diwali Mela on at Vijayaraja Kalyana Mandapam (opp. Adyar Telephone Exchange).
The lac bangles have a hint of Kalamkari art, and Kondapalli toys as tailors, soldiers, vegetable vendors, and goldsmiths exude realism.
Rajasthani artisan's depiction of North Indian calendar art-style gods and goddesses with iridescent radium lighting, cushion covers with pipli-work patches, torans, and an array of terracotta diyas — painted and plain — too are on view.
The beautifully-designed Sambhalpuri ikat yardage and saris crafted by Subhash Chandra Sahu are said to use only vegetable dyes, with designs given by the Weavers Service Centre. Intricately-woven and featuring typical Oriya motifs of fish, animals and birds, they capture the festive spirit with the use of a vibrant colour palette.
The exhibition is on till October 16.

BLACKFOOT – Organizers of Cattle Kids would like to continue the Cattle Kids program during 2012.
Cattle Kid organizer Neil Anderson, veterinarians David Stanley and Tony Parsons, Bingham County commissioner Ladd Carter, 4-H Extension Educator Scott Nash and Eastern Idaho State Fair manager Brandon Bird met Monday to discuss the 2011 program.
On average, each calf gained about 100 pounds in six weeks.
The top weight gains among the calves follow:
° Zach Later's calf gained 2.79 pounds per day.
° Taylor Diaz's calf gained 2.71 pounds each day.
BLACKFOOT — The Blackfoot City Council approved the budget for the 2012 fiscal year, set to begin Oct. 1. The council passed the budget on a 4-1 vote Tuesday night.
The total amount budgeted for 2012 is $14.57 million. The amount decreased slightly due to a decline in the short-term disability rate, resulting in decreases across city departments.
BLACKFOOT — Bingham County District Attorney Scott Andrew has proposed an ordinance that would be enforceable between Bingham County and the Fort Hall Indian Reservation. He presented it to the Bingham County Commissioners Monday.
Andrew's proposed ordinance incorporates Bingham County's existing policies and defers enforcement of P&Z matters, specifically land matters on the reservation, to the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes.
The county commissioners took Andrew's proposal under advisement. No decision has been made.
Martha Ann Jenkins Burton, 76, of Blackfoot, passed away Sunday, Aug. 7, 2011, at the Idaho Falls Care and Rehab Center.
She was born in Pocatello on Aug. 30, 1934, to Edward Ross and Minnie Hansen Jenkins.
Martha was raised and attended school in Aberdeen, graduating from Aberdeen High School in 1952. Following graduation she attended the College of Idaho and Yakima Business College. She lived and worked for a time in Seattle, Wash.Â
FORT HALL — The 48th annual Shoshone-Bannock Indian Festival will continue through Sunday at the Fort Hall festival and rodeo grounds.
Today will be full of activities including an All-Indian Parade at 10 a.m. and Grand Entry and powwow at 1 p.m. There will also be an art show from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Tribal Business Center.
The annual feast will be at 4 p.m., Indian Relay Races at 5 p.m. and a second Grand Entry and powwow at 7 p.m. The second round of the rodeo begins at 7 p.m.
FIRTH — Trustees of the Firth School Board have no interest in participating in a district consolidation study.
Superintendent Sid Tubbs noted that the State Office of Education will make $10,000 available to each district to pay for a study on consolidation. He noted the Blackfoot and Snake River districts have already indicated that they plan to participate in such a study.
THOMAS – Books are filling more than shelves at the Snake River School Community Library -- they are filling up Amazon Kindles.
The Library Board recently allotted technology funds to the purchase of 15 Kindles. The popular portable electronic device that stores books and other print publications is now available for patrons to check-out. The Kindles are now available for the public to check-out.
FORT HALL — Oklahoma cowboy Cord McCoy has been around the world twice as a contestant on the Amazing Race but on Wednesday evening, he was one of fifty professional bull riders who took to the Fort Hall rodeo arena in the first annual Wiley Petersen Invitational.
When the dust had settled a capacity crowd applauded McCoy as he stood triumphant after capturing an event that is sure to become a regular stop on the Professional Bull Riders tour.

Can too much of one make the other less enjoyable?
We've all read or heard how bicycling can affect men's sexual health. New studies show it may affect women as well:
"Spending time on a bicycle seat, which has been linked to erectile dysfunction in men, may also be a hazard to a woman's sexual health, a new study shows.
Many women who cycle or take spin classes are familiar with the numbness that sometimes can occur from sitting on a traditional bike seat. Bike seats are designed in such a way that body weight typically rests on the nose of the seat, which can compress nerves and blood vessels in the genital area. In men, this raises the risk of erectile dysfunction, something that has been documented in studies of male police officers on bicycle patrol.
But female cyclists have not been studied as closely. A study by Yale researchers in 2006 found that female cyclists had less genital sensation compared with a control group of female runners. As a result, some scientists believe that female cyclists probably are at similar risk for sexual problems as male riders."
For more, see the full blog at The New York Times.

Re: 3M VHB Bonding Tape
I've been using Scotch Exterior Mounting tape, 4010 (clear "2lbs"), and 4011 (Grey "5 lbs") for a couple years on various projects. I recently used 4011 to mount my VHF to the celing of the boat, mount the winch handle holder, mount the fuse panel to the inside of the hull liner and mount numerous adhesive wire tie wraps (having scraped off the cheap white foam tape). So far I've been really happy with it. I'm also pleased to know that worst-case a knife or paint scraper will always be able to slice through the foam for removal.
Two days ago I noticed "20lb" Extreme exterior mounting tape in Home Depot which prompted me to do a little more research into it. The important thing I discovered is that the entire line of "industrial" VHB tape is available at McMaster-Carr (If you haven't used McMaster, they are a fantastic website)
What's still not clear is how these in-store versions compare to the industrial marketed VHB tapes. But 3M has these documents outlining their industrial line of VHB tapes at this website:
A few notes:
-They range from 55 to 160psi
-As mentioned, 3M does specify them as holding up to weather and UV
-The various version come in different colors, foam thicknesses and foam firmness.

Another interesting feature:
They behave stronger with relatively faster rate of stress load (dynamic
stresses) and will tend to show creep behavior with stress load acting over a long period of time (static stresses)
This is actually something I'd noticed which is a nice feature for mounting applications. For example if I bang my VHF with my elbow the tape will be at its best at the point of impact (the flexible nature of the foam helps as well), but if I want to move the VHF a sustained pull will probably be able to free it.
Basically the entire line of VHB tape is available at both McMaster and Digikey. I'll be trying out some true industrial VHB as soon as I put in my next mcmaster order (Note: McMaster won't tell you shipping charges until they actually ship but I'd expect $5-$10 for the tape based on my previous orders of small items)

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Interactions between the fields of physics and biology reach back over a century, and some of the most significant developments in biology--from the discovery of DNA's structure to imaging of the human brain--have involved collaboration across this disciplinary boundary. For a new generation of physicists, the phenomena of life pose exciting challenges to physics itself, and biophysics has emerged as an important subfield of this discipline. Here, William Bialek provides the first graduate-level introduction to biophysics aimed at physics students.
Bialek begins by exploring how photon counting in vision offers important lessons about the opportunities for quantitative, physics-style experiments on diverse biological phenomena. He draws from these lessons three general physical principles--the importance of noise, the need to understand the extraordinary performance of living systems without appealing to finely tuned parameters, and the critical role of the representation and flow of information in the business of life. Bialek then applies these principles to a broad range of phenomena, including the control of gene expression, perception and memory, protein folding, the mechanics of the inner ear, the dynamics of biochemical reactions, and pattern formation in developing embryos.
Featuring numerous problems and exercises throughout, Biophysics emphasizes the unifying power of abstract physical principles to motivate new and novel experiments on biological systems.

Okay, so it's been tradition since 2008 that we'd sit down with Square Enix Music's Promotion's Manager, Akio Shiraishi, and head of the licensing department, Izumi Tsukushi, at San Diego Comic Con to talk about all the latest happenings within their division. Unfortunately since Square Enix's merchandising team has expanded their action figure line so dramatically, they were unable to bring music to this year's event. That meant no Akio Shiraishi and no sit-down with the duo.
We've got a fix, however, and have been able to speak with Akio Shiraishi after the fact. As usual, we follow-up on a lot of items brought up in previous years (read 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011's interviews). It sounds like they have a lot in store for the Final Fantasy franchise in particular before 2012 (the franchises's 25th anniversary) is through, so read on. (more…)

This fourth edition of the classic book, Health Behavior and Health Education: Theory, Research, and Practice provides a comprehensive, highly accessible, and in-depth analysis of health behavior theories that are most relevant to health education. This essential resource includes the most current information on theory, research, and practice at individual, interpersonal, and community and group levels. This edition includes substantial new content on current and emerging theories of health communication, e-health, culturally diverse communities, health promotion, the impact of stress, the importance of networks and community, social marketing, and evaluation.
The book contains black-and-white illustrations.
The Editors
The range of health education and health behavior change strategies today is nearly limitless. Health professionals and health education specialists may counsel people at risk for AIDS about safe sex; help children avoid tobacco, alcohol, and drugs; help adults to stop smoking; help patients to manage and cope with their illnesses; and organize communities or advocate policy changes aimed at fostering health improvement. Health education professionals work all over the world in a variety of settings including schools, worksites, voluntary health organizations, medical settings, and communities. They are challenged to disseminate the best of what is known in new situations. They may also forge and test fundamental theories that drive research and practice in public health, health education, and health care. A premise of Health Behavior and Health Education is that a dynamic exchange between theory, research, and practice is most likely to produce effective health education.
Perhaps never before have those concerned with health behavior and health education been faced with more challenges and opportunities than they are today. Kanfer and Schefft (1988) observed that "as science and technology advance, the greatest mystery of the universe and the least conquered force of nature remains thehuman being and his actions and human experiences." The body of research in health behavior and health education has grown rapidly over the past two decades, and health education is recognized increasingly as a way to meet public health objectives and improve the success of public health and medical interventions. Although this increasing literature improves the science base of health behavior and health education, it also challenges those in the field to master and be facile with an almost overwhelming body of knowledge.
The science and art of health behavior and health education are eclectic, rapidly evolving, and reflective of an amalgamation of approaches, methods, and strategies from social and health sciences. They draw on the theoretical perspectives, research, and practice tools of such diverse disciplines as psychology, sociology, anthropology, communications, nursing, and marketing. Health education is also dependent on epidemiology, statistics, and medicine. There is increasing emphasis on identifying evidence-based interventions and disseminating them widely (Rimer, Glanz, and Rasband, 2001). This often requires individual health education and health behavior professionals to synthesize large and diverse literatures.
Many types of professionals contribute to and conduct health education and health behavior (HEHB) programs and research. Health education practice is strengthened by the close collaboration among professionals of different disciplines, each concerned with the behavioral and social intervention process, and each contributing a unique perspective. Psychology brings to health education a rich legacy of over a hundred years of research and practice on individual differences, motivation, learning, persuasion, and attitude and behavior change (Matarazzo, Weiss, Herd, Miller, and Weiss, 1984). Physicians are important collaborators and are in key positions to effect change in health behavior. Likewise, nurses and social workers bring to health education their particular expertise in working with individual patients and patients' families to facilitate learning, adjustment, and behavior change, and to improve quality of life. Other health, education, and human service professionals contribute their special expertise as well. Increasingly, there will be partnerships with genetic counselors and other specialists in this rapidly developing field.
Health, Disease, and Health Behavior: The Changing Context
The major causes of death in the United States and other developed countries are now chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and stroke (National Center for Health Statistics, 2000). Behavioral factors, particularly tobacco use, diet and activity patterns, alcohol consumption, sexual behavior, and avoidable injuries are among the most prominent contributors to mortality (McGinnis and Foege, 1993). The resurgence of infectious diseases, including foodborne illness and tuberculosis, and the emergence of new infectious diseases such as antibioticresistant infections, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, and human papillomavirus (HPV) are also largely affected by human behaviors (Lederberg, Shope, and Oakes, 1992; Glanz and Yang, 1996). Substantial suffering, premature mortality, and medical costs can be avoided by positive changes in behavior. Most recently, there has been a renewed focus on public health as a result of anthrax exposure due to terrorism.
During the past twenty years, there has been a dramatic increase in public, private, and professional interest in preventing disability and death through changes in lifestyle and participation in screening programs. Much of this interest in disease prevention and early detection has been stimulated by the epidemiologic transition from infectious to chronic diseases as leading causes of death, the aging of the population, rapidly escalating health care costs, and data linking individual behaviors to increased risk of morbidity and mortality. More recent developments, such as the AIDS epidemic, have also contributed. Even as epidemiologists' efforts to better specify the links between diet, lifestyle, genetic predisposition, and environmental factors and disease approach the limits of science, they continue to generate headlines (Taubes, 1995) and influence public policy (Marshall, 1995).
Landmark reports in Canada and the United States during the 1970s and 1980s heralded the commitment of governments to health education and promotion (Lalonde, 1974; U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, 1979; Epp, 1986). In the United States, federal initiatives for public health education and monitoring populationwide behavior patterns were spurred by the development of the health objectives published in Promoting Health and Preventing Disease: Health Objectives for the Nation (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1980) and their successors, outlined in Healthy People 2000: National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives and Healthy People 2010 (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1991 and 2000). Increased interest in behavioral and social determinants of health behavior change spawned numerous training programs and public and commercial service programs.
Data systems now make it possible to track trends in risk factors, health behaviors, and healthy environments and policies in the United States and, in some cases, to tie these changes to disease incidence and mortality. Indeed, there have been positive changes in several areas. A major accomplishment has been surpassing the targets for reducing deaths from coronary heart disease and cancer (National Center for Health Statistics, 2001). Blood pressure control has improved and mean population blood cholesterol levels have declined. Alcohol-related motor vehicle deaths and deaths due to automobile crashes and drowning have continued to decrease. Fewer adults are using tobacco products, and more are engaging in moderate physical activity. More adults are meeting dietary guidelines for consumption of fruits, vegetables, and grain products and for dietary fat as a percentage of calories (National Center for Health Statistics, 2001). Rates of HIV/AIDS have leveled off and transfusion-related HIV infections have decreased markedly. The proportion of women age fifty and older who have had breast examinations and mammograms has exceeded the goal of 60 percent in forty-seven states. The United States has made progress toward the goal of reducing health disparities for more than half the objectives identified in Healthy People 2000 (National Center for Health Statistics, 2001). Major litigation against the tobacco industry and a multistate settlement have resulted in increased restrictions on tobacco advertising and enforcement of laws against selling tobacco to minors. The collective efforts of those in health education and public health have indeed made a difference. While this progress is encouraging, much work remains to be done in these areas.
Not all the news is favorable, though. More adults and children are overweight. Diabetes is increasing in near-epidemic proportions. More adolescents are sexually active. After major increases in seatbelt use in the early 1990s, rates have declined slightly and remain at 67 percent, well below the target rate of 85 percent (National Center for Health Statistics, 2001). One-fifth of children under three years old have not received a basic series of vaccinations for polio, measles, diphtheria, and other diseases. Sixteen percent of adults under sixty-five years of age have no health insurance coverage. More than 70 percent of adults over age fifty have not been screened for colorectal cancer (National Center for Health Statistics, 2001). Ethnic minorities and those in poverty still experience a disproportionate burden of preventable disease and disability, and for many conditions the gap between disadvantaged and affluent groups is widening (House and Williams, 2000).
Changes in the health care system provide new supports and opportunities for health education. Respect for patients' rights is now recognized as fundamental to the practice of medicine (Levinsky, 1996). Moreover, there is increased attention to issues of shared decision making (Edwards and Elwyn, 1999). At the same time, patients' access to information about their health care institutions and providers remains limited. Insurance carriers and managed care systems can impose barriers that impede patients' exercise of their rights to make treatment decisions (Weston and Lauria, 1996; Levinsky, 1996). The advent of managed health care and health care financing reform pose new challenges as the drive for cost containment affects the entire health care system. While increased accountability often results in cost savings and fewer unnecessary services, little is known about its effects on the health of patients and the overall quality of care (Iglehart, 1996). Clinical prevention and behavioral interventions may grow in importance under managed care when their cost-effectiveness is demonstrated and recognized (Center for the Advancement of Health, 2000; Rimer, Glanz, and Rasband, 2001), but the climate of fiscal constraint will probably slow adoption of efficacious behavioral strategies in the short run.
The rapid emergence of new communication technologies and new uses of older technologies, such as the telephone, also provide new opportunities and dilemmas. A new chapter has been added to Health Behavior and Health Education to reflect the importance of new communication technologies (see Chapter Twenty- Two). A variety of electronic media for interactive health communication (for example, the internet, CD-ROMs, personal digital assistants) can serve as sources of both general and individualized health information, reminders, and social support for health behavior change.
Since the last edition of this book, use of the Internet has grown dramatically. E-health strategies are becoming an important part of the armamentarium of strategies for those in health education and health behavior. Internet and computer-based applications can support many of the strategies that evolve naturally from the theories presented in this book. It is important that use of the new technologies be based and evaluated on theories of health behavior. Otherwise, we risk being technology driven instead of outcomes driven.
New technologies have the potential to cause harm through misleading or deceptive information, promotion of inappropriate self-care, and interference in the patient-provider relationship (Science Panel on Interactive Communication and Health, 1999). Interactive health communications provide new options for behavioral medicine and preventive medicine (Noell and Glasgow, 1999; Fotheringham, Owies, Leslie, and Owen, 2000) and are altering the context of health behavior and health education as they unfold and as their effects are studied.
Health Education and Health Behavior
The Scope and Evolution of Health Education
In the fields of health education and health behavior, the emphasis during the 1970s and 1980s on individuals' behaviors as determinants of health status eclipsed attention to the broader social determinants of health. Advocates of system-level changes to improve health called for renewal of a broad vision of health education and promotion (Minkler, 1989; see Chapter Twenty). These calls for moving health education toward social action heralded a renewed enthusiasm for holistic approaches rather than an entirely new worldview. They are well within the tradition of health education and are consistent with its long-standing concern with the impact of social, economic, and political forces on health.
Over the past fifty years, outstanding leaders in health education repeatedly stressed the importance of political, economic, and social factors as determinants of health. Mayhew Derryberry (1960) noted that "health education ... requires careful and thorough consideration of the present knowledge, attitudes, goals, perceptions, social status, power structure, cultural traditions, and other aspects of whatever public is to be addressed." In 1966, Dorothy Nyswander spoke of the importance of attending to social justice and individuals' sense of control and self-determination (Nyswander, 1966). These ideas were reiterated later when William Griffiths (1972) stressed that "health education is concerned not only with individuals and their families, but also with the institutions and social conditions that impede or facilitate individuals toward achieving optimum health" (emphasis added).
The view of health education as an instrument of social change has been renewed and invigorated during the past decade. Policy, advocacy, and organizational change have been adopted as central activities of public health and health education. Most recently, experts have explicitly recommended that interventions on social and behavioral factors related to health should link multiple levels of in- fluence, including the individual, interpersonal, institutional, community, and policy levels (Smedley and Syme, 2000). This volume purposefully includes chapters on community and societal influences on health behavior and strategies to effect community and social policy changes. In this context, definitions of health education and health promotion can be recognized and discussed as overlapping and intertwined.

The Caps suffered yet another loss Tuesday night to Ottawa, making it six straight losses for Washington. If that wasn't bad enough, the Senators official Twitter feed sent quite the insult as the team left town.
Always a pleasure to visit the other nation's capital when we leave with two points. #ThanksObama— Ottawa Senators (@Senators) January 22, 2014
The tweet immediately gained a lot of attention, and fans of both teams reacted expectedly. Caps fans thought the Ottawa tweet over the line, while Sens fans thought it was funny, and worse, accurate. It should be noted the Caps played the game without their best player and current NHL leading goal scorer Alex Ovechkin, but the folks in charge of the Senators Twitter account failed to mention that.
It's no surpise a natural rivalry would exist between the capitals of the U.S. and Canada, but the tweet certainly marks the biggest shot one team has taken at the other.

I passed ALI BABAbrooding over the L.I.E. on the elevated access roadseveral times before I stopped, then was rewarded with great kebabs and Persian-leaning stews. Best of all, however, was the baba ganoush, made from flame-roasted eggplant and enough garlic to leave your mouth burning.
