Pediatricians Flag Energy, Sports Drinks For Youth
by Thom Forbes on May 31, 7:36 AM
There's a new message today for teens and their parents regarding what they imbibe: Just say no to energy drinks, and yes to sports drinks only when necessary after intense workouts. Given that most children and adolescents don't work out intensely, "most kids shouldn't drink either of them, ever," concludes Jennifer LaRue Huget in the Washington Post's "The Checkup" blog.

Something's Rotten In The State Of Fishmongering
by Thom Forbes on May 27, 7:33 AM
A new report from the international ocean advocacy group Oceana claims that seafood fraud is rampant, not only undermining legal fishermen but also "consumer-driven efforts to do the right thing and ask for species that are responsibly managed," as Susan Carpenter reports in the Los Angeles Times' Greenspace blog.

Smartphones Get A Little Smarter
by Thom Forbes on May 25, 7:38 AM
The Wall Street Journal tells us that the upcoming release of Microsoft's Mango OS for mobile devices announced yesterday "dials up the phone wars." The long-anticipated upgrade, which some reports speculated might be delayed until next year, will be available to existing users for free in the fall. It focuses on improving the communications and Internet experience and Microsoft hopes it will encourage developers to release more applications.

Liberty Takes A Shine To The Nook
by Thom Forbes on May 24, 7:38 AM
E-commerce Times' headline almost says it best: "Nook Lust Drives Liberty Media to Court Barnes & Noble." The tabloid copy editor in us, however, wants to rewrite that to "Liberty Looks for a Little Nookie." In any event, it appears that Barnes & Nobles e-book reader is the lower-case apple of Liberty chairman John Malone's eye. The company offered $17 per share last week for a 70% stake in the company, making the potential deal worth more than $1 billion.

Hershey's West Heads West To A Smaller Del Monte
by Thom Forbes on May 19, 7:42 AM
Why would Hershey CEO David J. West, 48, leave his high-profile, high-perk -- all the Reese's Minis you can eat! -- position to head up a smaller company, Del Monte Foods, that produces things like Contadina tomato paste and Milk Bone dog biscuits? Well, he tells the Wall Street Journal's Joann S. Lublin and Julie Jargon, he's looking for the rush of "learning and being challenged by a new food category.'' Plus, his daughter's going to college In California, and Del Monte is based in San Francisco.

Docs Want Ronald To Retire; Fat Chance It Happens
by Thom Forbes on May 18, 7:40 AM
The headline in the tabloid Boston Herald reads: "Doctors cook up way to give McDonald's Ronald the boot." What they've really doing, however, is ratcheting up the pressure, as the lede admits. There's little indication that the fast food giant's mascot -- or accompanying charitable works -- are going anywhere soon despite the fact that more than 200 physicians in the Boston area have signed a letter to McDonald's CEO James Skinner "asking him to halt its marketing to kids," Thomas Grillo reports. A number of them will also hold an event at Codman Square Health Center in Dorchester today.

Ikea Takes Cannes Advertiser Of The Year Honors
by Thom Forbes on May 17, 7:43 AM
The folks at Cannes announced yesterday that Ikea would collect its Advertiser of the Year trophy on June 25 during the Film, Film Craft, Titanium & Integrated and Creative Effectiveness Lions. Ad trades around the world pretty much picked up the release verbatim. But some pointed to some of the work that garnered the honor for the Swedish retailer, which now has more than 127,000 people working in 284 stores in 26 countries, and so shall we.

Economic growth is increasingly concentrated in markets outside the EU: By 2030, an estimated 60 % of world growth will take place in emerging economies. Led by European Commission Vice-President Antonio Tajani, representatives and business delegations from Europe are visiting growth markets throughout the world to increase the chances of success for EU companies.
While the European Union and Russia are already strong trading partners, differences in standards still prevent truly unfettered bilateral trade. To remedy these differences and unleash the potential of this partnership, European standardisation authorities and Russia signed a landmark agreement that will promote cooperation and enable easier, more profitable trade.
After successful rollouts in China and Southeast Asia, the European Commission will launch a helpdesk in South America's Mercosur region. By providing free information and a variety of services, including legal assistance to help protect intellectual property rights, the Commission will help Europe's SMEs benefit from Mercosur's continued growth.
The EU and China together are on a 'green growth' mission, one that supports environmental protection and sustainable prosperity by promoting regulatory harmony. Strengthening EU-China cooperation will lead to more international business opportunities for EU companies, particularly SMEs, active in the 'environmental' sectors. The end result: helping the global economy and slowing global warming.
The European Commission is determined to strengthen ties between the EU and its Mediterranean neighbours, which together form the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM). As part of this effort, the Commission hosted a meeting in June to review objectives that will benefit the UfM and, importantly, improve the environment for SMEs both inside and outside the EU.
The world's fastest growing economies are not in Europe. And that's why the European Commission is committed to opening doors for European enterprises around the globe. The Commission has sent representatives and business delegations to emerging markets in Africa, Latin America and Asia. The insights they gain will help EU SMEs capitalise on external growth – which, in turn, will spur growth here in Europe.
China has become a key market for SMEs hoping to make a splash overseas. Even so, China poses a series of challenges, including problems with protection of intellectual property rights and a dizzying web of regulations. But the China IPR Helpdesk, the EU SME Centre and the European Enterprise Network are here to help by bringing the risks – and rewards – of the Chinese market into focus.
Because toys are for children, it is important to have additional regulations to ensure safety. That's why the Netherlands – one of the EU's main entry points for toys – has teamed up with China – one of the EU's main sources of toy imports –signed an action plan called, 'Cooperation in the field of toy safety'. The resulting collaboration will promote toy safety and, by extension, promote child safety.
While all countries have the right to adopt technical regulations to achieve legitimate purposes (e.g. ensuring public health or protecting the environment and consumers) the TBT Agreement (Technical Barriers to Trade) helps prevent unfair, protectionist measures. Administered by the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the TBT Agreement alerts European businesses about potential new regulations and encourages global harmonisation and mutual recognition. European businesses can contribute to work of the European Commission on avoiding technical barriers to trade. This collaboration benefits enterprises large and small. The resulting collaboration benefits enterprises large and small.
Helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) tap into markets on the other side of the Atlantic was the central topic of the fourth European Union-United States SME Workshop, held in Washington, DC, on December 3 and 4, 2012. At the workshop, two business support networks – the EC's Enterprise Europe Network and the US International Trade Administration – signed a Memorandum of Understanding on promoting cooperation. Specific areas for cooperation include the promotion of SME events and business partnering activities, participation in sector-specific or thematic seminars and the exchange of information on SME networking opportunities.
By finding common ground and shared incentives, the European Commission and China are working together to improve industrial efficiency. Having already agreed on numerous cooperation themes, this collaboration will increase market access and decrease greenhouse gases.
The Europe-China Standards Information Platform, or CESIP, provides valuable, bi-lingual information to Chinese and European businesses on everything from technical regulations to market access requirements. Launched last October, CESIP has details on thousands of standards and offers a progressive way to enhance collaboration and spur economic growth.
Despite the rise of developing industrial powers, the European Union remains the world's biggest exporter, as well as the No. 1 target for foreign direct investment. The European Commission's annual 'European Competitiveness Report' details how the EU has stayed on top and what the Commission is doing to make sure it stays there.
If you are considering entering these markets or expanding your activities there, the European Commission offers two valuable programmes to help you to do so. Previous participants explain how their companies benefited from the Executive Training Programme (ETP) and the EU Gateway Programme.
Stakeholders from EU countries and those countries on the southern rim of the Mediterranean met in Milan to discuss ways the neighbours can partner to help businesses become more competitive through closer cooperation.
The EU will support the Southern Mediterranean people's democratic aspirations by creating a Euro-Med area of shared prosperity with a special focus on entrepreneurship and small business. To this end, industry ministers have agreed upon a series of practical actions during the latest Euro-Med meeting held in Malta.
In order to seize the opportunities opened up by internationalisation, enterprises need to take care of several aspects, not least the protection of their intellectual property rights. A new EU-US portal provides a wealth of useful information in this domain.

It's Valentine's Day and Eff It.
Valentine's Day is a blast when you are getting divorced.
I know you think I'm being sarcastic because when am I NOT sarcastic but I'm actually not kidding. Today was pretty awesome.
If you're on Facebook, which I assume you are if you are reading a blog, you've probably seen all the billions of Valentine's Day statuses about how much "I loooooove my husband!" and "Tra la la la my boyfriend is the BESTEST!!" and lots of random hearts and squiggly lines and pictures of flowers and gifts and shit. Those annoyed the crap out of me even when I was married, but this year I find them especially grating. So I copied and pasted the one I saw most frequently:
"To celebrate Valentine's Day change profile pic to you & your spouse or significant other.. & state how long you've been together &/or how many years married"
And added:
"Started dating 06/04… engaged 08/06… married 09/07… divorced… NEXT WEEK, BETCHES!!!" And changed my profile pic to a wedding pic. In which I was vogueing and looked fab and half Tyler's nose was cut off.
Juvenile? Yup. Immature? Mmmhmm. Totally. Do I care? Not even a little bit. Normally I'd roll my eyes and label people who post shit like that as bitter drama queens, but today I just felt like hitting back a little and it felt awesome.
Luckily most people who are friends with me get my kind of humor and so it was, ah… an extremely popular status, hahaha. Judging from my friend count, it got me deleted by a couple people, but that's cool. Much easier than weeding them out myself. Because eff it, man. If society is going to rub their happiness in my face, I'm going to rub mine right back in theirs. Except mine has to do with finally getting divorced, and in my opinion, that's fucking hilarious on Valentine's Day.Add a Comment

Know Thy Self
Most likely a preliminary study for a never-realized history painting, Benjamin West's wash drawing presents an allegorical vision of London's Royal Academy of Arts, a professional artists' organization founded in 1768, as a gathering of learned men from different epochs. Some figures wear classical togas, while others don contemporary wigs and robes. Additional references to enlightenment—including the bright spotlight in the composition's center and the bust of Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, in the background—symbolize the noble endeavors of the institution and its commitment to the classical tradition.

Hundreds of people fled to shelters as a wildfire threatened an entire town outside Amarillo, Texas. Firefighters believe the fire has destroyed more than 100 homes. The fire is now 75 percent contained. Flames driven by strong, shifting winds ripped through the brush in the Texas panhandle. thick, black smoke cast shadows on the area as it blocked out the sun. Hutchingon County Emergency Management reported winds gusting up to 50 miles per hour. Crews came to help fight the fire from department all over the area. "Dalhart, Sanford, Hartley, Randall County, Cactus, Lefors, and I'm sure there are many more that I haven't even seen that were already assigned prior to our arrival," says District Fire Chief Dam Bush of the Amarillo Fire Department. Only later would officials understand the extent of the damage; the fire that started late Sunday afternoon had destroyed as many as 100 homes before midnight. Officials in Fritch say the fire covers hundreds of acres and puts their entire town at risk. The fire threatens more than 1,000 homes. Some 700-to-800 people evacuated, seeking shelter at a church and at the gym at a local high school. "The Red Cross is there to meet with them, give them anything they might need," says Chris Ray, a Texas State Trooper. While the wind is blamed for fanning the flames, it's not clear yet what exactly caused such a destructive wildfire. Officials believe the fire has now destroyed more than 100 homes and burned up to 1,500 acres.

Embedding the db4o Object-Oriented Database
OO databases provide the developer with flexibility not so easily gotten with an RDBMS. In particular, you can design complex, deep object structures, persist them to a database and not have to concern yourself with the translation between the object model and the relational model.
The OO database db4o's simple-to-grasp API did not hinder our building indexing structures in the database side by side with the actual data. Though the binary tree and trie indexes we chose were uncomplicated, they demonstrated that the developer is free to augment a database with custom indexing and navigation structures of arbitrary complexity. So, we can tailor-make an organization scheme that fits the application's requirements of its data, and we can design it using plain-old objects—Java or Mono/.NET. Best of all, db4o is open-source, so there's nothing stopping you from grabbing it for your next database application. For more information concerning db4o, see www.db4objects.com.
Rick Grehan's articles have appeared in Byte, Embedded Systems Journal, JavaPro, InfoWorld, Microprocessor Report and several other journals. He is coauthor of three books: one on remote procedure calls, another on embedded systems and a third on object-oriented Java databases. Currently, he is QA Lead at Compuware's NuMega Labs.

It is untested in IE6 so I haven't mentioned it here. With IE6, you would be limited by which CSS selectors you could take advantage of. I'm working on projects that have a (for progressively enhanced JS) baseline of IE7. Polyfilling querySelectorAll allows me to do some nice element event handlers in projects where jQuery and other selector libraries aren't permitted.
Nice trick. But it only seems to work in Quirks mode.
If I set a <!DOCTYPE HTML> then it breaks ?
I need support for selectors like
a:not(:last-child). This polyfill doesn't help me in that area.

"Obsidienne, a vocal and instrumental ensemble conducted by Emmanuel Bonnardot, wishes to keep the medieval and renaissance repertoire alive in a simple, natural way, thus reconciling the art of performing and that of improvising music.
In a happy relation to poetry, theater and dance, often approaching contemporary, traditional or song repertoires, the ensemble keeps researching into forgotten or neglected works, and endeavouring to reconstruct the medieval instrumentarium, inspired in its work by the paintings of the Middle Ages' greatest masters.
Obsidienne sometimes splits into smaller groups, allowing more specialized, more intimate and more personal work. At its full strength, with up to 16 musicians, the ensemble offers a powerful sound, in which soloists and choir alternate, a must in interpreting the great medieval repertoire. Obsidienne owe their longevity to their versatility and to the variety of their performances, which enabled them to reach exceptional musical quality. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

"The Novello Quartet was founded in the winter of 2002 to perform Joseph Haydn's rarely programmed quartet setting of the Seven Last Words of Christ. The quartet's passion for the music of Haydn and his contemporaries has led to an ongoing artistic partnership between four of America's leading early music artists. The Novello Quartet has been presented by the San Francisco Early Music Society, San Francisco Performances, Trinity Concerts, the San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival, and was the featured ensemble at the 2006 Mozart Conference at Claremont College. ...
The Novello Quartet was named for the members of the Novello family, Vincent, Mary and Clara. Vincent (1781-1861) was a church organist, composer and music publisher born of Italian parents in London, England. With the publication of two volumes of sacred music (1811) he founded the publishing house of Novello & Co, and was a founding member and later pianist and conductor of the Philharmonic Society. In 1829, Vincent Novello and his wife Mary undertook a journey to the continent, stopping in the musical capitals of Europe to hear the music of the day in churches and concert halls, and also to deliver to W.A. Mozart's impoverished sister Nannerl a small sum Vincent had raised by subscription in London. Among the musical luminaries the Novellos met on their journey were Mozart's widow Constanze, and Abbe Stadler, who told them the story of Joseph Haydn's commission from Spain by the Bishop of Cadiz for the Seven Last Words of Christ.

"Like so many of the best things in life, the birth of Gothic Voices came about almost by accident. Back in 1980 Christopher Page was asked by the BBC to put together a programme of plainchant by the 12th century Abbess Hildegard of Bingen. Record producer Ted Perry tuned in to that broadcast and it so impressed him that he set up what was to become one of the best-selling recordings of pre-classical music ever made: A Feather on the Breath of God — Hymns and Sequences by Abbess Hildegard of Bingen. Since that time, Gothic Voices has recorded a further twenty CDs on the Hyperion label, three of which have won the coveted Gramophone Magazine Award. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)
