|Detecting upper airway obstruction in patients with tracheal stenosis.

|We propose a forced oscillation test modality for detecting upper airway obstruction (UAO) as an alternative to spirometric UAO indices in patients with tracheal stenosis. From oscillometry performed at different breathing flow rates, airway resistance at 5 Hz was determined at 0.5 l/s (R), and flow dependence of resistance was computed as the regression slope of resistance vs. flow up to 1 l/s (Delta R/Delta V). It was first verified by measurement in 10 normal subjects and 10 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease that Delta R/Delta V was unaffected by the presence of peripheral airway obstruction and that external orifices (with lumen area down to 28 mm(2)) induced marked increases in R and Delta R/Delta V. Ten patients eligible for tracheal dilatation underwent spirometry and impulse oscillometry before and after intervention. Considering the lumen area of tracheal stenosis in the patients (42 +/- 28 mm(2), represented as the mean +/- SD), the R and Delta R/Delta V increases were of similar magnitude to those predicted by the external orifices. In addition, R (r = -0.68; P = 0.001) and Delta R/Delta V (r = -0.65; P = 0.001) showed better correlations with minimal tracheal lumen than any spirometric UAO index. Delta R/Delta V, but not R, showed a consistent return to normal after intervention in the stenosis patients. We conclude that the forced oscillation test at different breathing flow rates up to 1 l/s provides a measure of UAO, namely flow dependence of resistance Delta R/Delta V, which can signal a critical level of tracheal stenosis and is not confounded by the presence of concomitant peripheral airway obstruction.

We find ourselves in the middle of one of the greatest wealth transfer periods of all time. Those with wealth must decide whether they want to make transfers, and if they do, they must decide how much, to whom, when and in what structure?
City of Boulder approves Boulder Ice Cream for rebates
- Published In
- Today's News

Wealth Transfers: You Shouldn't Take the Emotion Out of Your Decisions
The flexible rebate program is one of the city of Boulder's business incentives, covering a wide range of fees, equipment, and construction use taxes.
"Boulder Ice Cream bringing manufacturing back to Boulder and continuing to expand its product lines is wonderful for Boulder,´ said city manager Jane Brautigam. "Boulder Ice Cream has its roots here and embodies Boulder's sustainable values and its strong natural and organic products industry."
Boulder Ice Cream will move its headquarters to a new space at 3220 Prairie Ave. and consolidate its manufacturing from two plants in Louisville and Denver into its new organic-certified facility in Boulder.
"We are very happy to be consolidated back in Boulder, where we started,´ said Scott Roy, president of Boulder Ice Cream. "The new plant has the capacity to not only manufacture all our products, but also warehouse our entire inventory, alleviating the need to truck our product to a storage warehouse in Denver."
Boulder Ice Cream began as a scoop shop on the Pearl Street Mall in 1992 and currently manufactures and distributes to more than 300 grocery stores and 80 food service establishments. Boulder Homemade Inc. manufactures Boulder Ice Cream, Yoki Bliss frozen yogurt, and Figo! Organic Gelato, one of the first organic gelatos on the market.
The flexible rebate program uses social, community and environmental sustainability guidelines to evaluate eligible businesses. Companies choose the guidelines that best fit their circumstances, but must meet minimum requirements in order to receive the rebate.
Boulder Ice Cream has exceeded the requirements, and its new manufacturing plant will be constructed with heat-capture equipment, reducing the company's demand for electricity and natural gas.
Approximately 80 percent of the hot water and 70 percent of the warehouse heating will be supplied by the heat generated from other equipment. Additionally, Boulder Ice Cream has implemented a zero-waste program for the last 10 years and uses a manufacturing batch process that reduces product waste to nearly zero, which also reduces water usage during cleanup.
Boulder Ice Cream's application is the eighth to be approved as part of the 2013 flexible rebate program. The city's approved 2013 budget included $350,000 in funding for flexible tax and fee rebates for primary employers.
For more information about the City of Boulder's business incentive programs, visit www.bouldercolorado.gov/business or call Economic Vitality Coordinator Liz Hanson at 303-441-3287.

Deputy COO James Murdoch sits on the board of YES shareholder Yankees Global Enterprises.
Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. is finalizing a deal to acquire a stake in the YES Network sports channel, a source confirmed a report by the New York Times.
The investment in the New York-based regional cable network, which airs New York Yankees baseball and Nets basketball games, among other regional sports, would further strengthen News Corp.'s sports network portfolio.
Murdoch's son and News Corp. deputy COO James Murdoch sits on the board of the Yankees' holding company, Yankees Global Enterprises. Since moving from London to the conglomerate's headquarters in New York, he has particularly focused on the company's TV businesses.
A deal, financial and other details of which weren't immediately clear, could be announced as early as the end of this week.
However, the Yankees' holding company is expected to maintain its 34 percent stake in YES, meaning News Corp. would buy its stake from some of the network company's financial investors. They include Goldman Sachs and Providence Equity Partners and have in the past been rumored to be willing to cash out for the right price.
News Corp. representatives weren't available for comment.

While the answer is "No," the repercussions of using laser paper in an inkjet printer aren't as bad as using inkjet paper in a laser printer. Using inkjet paper in a laser printer can severely damage your printer, though there won't be too much printer damage done to your inkjet printer if you use laser paper in it.
Just like the inkjet paper has a coating, there's also a coating on laser paper that doesn't play well with inkjet printers. No, the coating won't mess up your printer like the inkjet paper coating will mess up your laser printer, but it will have an impact on your print quality.
The ink from an inkjet printer doesn't stick to paper coated for laser printers. Your document will easily smear or blot when it comes out of the printer. Paper coated for laser printers is not meant to absorb ink like paper coated for inkjet printers; it's meant to have toner set and melted on top of it.
Smearing is especially evident with glossy paper that's meant for laser printers but used in inkjet printers. Glossy papers are more heavily coated than matte papers so it only makes sense that the smearing be more evident on glossy paper than matte paper.
So, using laser paper in an inkjet printer is not as bad as using inkjet paper in a laser printer, but still not recommended. If you want to get great, high quality prints from your printer, make sure you're using paper that's made for your type of printer (whether it's inkjet or laser).

Although I don't judge others for doing it, I am strongly against circumcision and chose not to have it done. I have been reading that leaving babies "intact" is a growing trend and I was wondering what everyone else thought - no judgements, please :)
Circumcision Poll
We did have our son circumsized, but I didn't want to do it- I left it up to his father. I would have thought, however, that he wouldn't have wanted to either, because he's not. He said that while he's a secure man now when he was young he got a lot of sh*t about it. His older son is also circumsized. I told him that there is a growing trend not to do it and that I would rather not, but I left it up to him- it is his boy....
Shannon, 28.... hopelessly in love with Noah, 37....
First time Mumma to Wilder Adventure, June 3, 2009
Shan9420, My DH is also intact and he also felt a bit uncomfortable in the locker room, but not enough to deter him from wanting to leave our son uncircumcised - your DH's feelings are common, though.
Intact her. DH is intact and he was a competitive swimmer all his life and never had a problem in the locker room. He said that "men don't stare at, or judge other men's penis' " I assume he knows what he's talking about.
Our June baby boy is intact. Dh is circ'd but I would never leave the choice up to him just like he wouldn't let me decide to circ a daughter if we had one. We both protect our children regardless of gender.
DS is intact . DH is circ'd but after doing his own research after I decided I didn't want DS circumsized he agreed that it is not neccessary. You should have heard/seen my BIL when he asked when we were getting it done! Uh, never?
"Both are salty, one will give me carpal tunnel, I'll go with the fries." - Iliza Shlesinger
Our son is circ'd, personal decision that doesn't mean we don't protect our chidren or "marred" them in some way
~CC~ FTM to Leonidas (6/8/09)
Be nice to your children, they're going to pick your nursing home
I didn't vote since I had a girl. Both of my ODS are circ'd but knowing what I know now I would never do it again. If our June baby was a boy he was going to be left intact.
DS is circumcised. I wanted to get it done but left it up to the father, he strongly wanted it done.
Insurance companies no longer pay for it though, they consider it a cosmetic surgery. No one bothered to mention that to us. Or the fact that they were charging $2100 to do it...
We had our son circumsized. DH was totally for it b/c he said he didn't want a woman to judge our son when he is in a relationship later in life.
Mom to Lilli (11 years) and Ray(5 years)

Greetings! After many years of not owning or riding bikes, I'm getting back into the sport. I'm going to be 40 in a few weeks, and let's just say I'm not getting any thinner. I was a long-haul truck driver up until last fall, when I decided to go back to college. Lots of life-changes recently, and my health was something I wanted to gain more control of. I seem to be what is known as a "Clydesdale" around here.... Hmmmph..
The bikes I've owned over the years is rather short. After a summer of mowing lawns when I was a kid I bought a Ross Mt. Washington mountain bike. Big, heavy, 12 speeds.. It was light-years above the K-Mart 10-speed I'd ridden into the ground a few months before. 5 years ago I bought a 1993-94 Giant Perigee road bike from someone on CL for $60. I had to replace the tubes but otherwise I rode it whenever I could. I took it in the truck with me and would ride it if I had some time to kill at a delivery. As big as I am, 6ft 1in, 300lbs, I was never really comfortable on those skinny tires, and still am not. This is a shame, as I LOVE road bikes!!
Today I bought a 2007 Trek SU200 from a CL ad, and I'm pretty psyched! The bike's definitely been ridden, as there is a little rust on the inside of the front derailleur, as well as a bit of mud on the frame. From what I can tell, the derailleurs need to be adjusted a little bit and the left grip is a bit squishy, but that's it. I bought the 19.5" frame, which I thought at first would be too short, but the bike fits me just fine. I eventually want to put a set of rear racks and fenders on it and make it my commuter to school. Any recommendations on good brands or models?
My short-term goals are to ride this bike and build up my cardio, which is sorely lacking. As I get in better shape I'd like to try some medium-distance touring, as well. Anyway, I am glad I found this forum!!

Billionaire 2012 List: The Top 100 Billionaires
This billionaire 2012 list includes the top 100 billionaires in the world. And yes, it is quite similar to the 2011 billionaire list, because really, once you are that rich, you tend to stay that rich. If you're curious about who the world's richest people are, look no further: This list includes the wealthiest men and women on the planet, courtesy of Forbes magazine, which ranks the world's billionaires each year.
Some of the world's top 100 billionaires are self-made, meaning they got rich by starting their own, highly successful companies. People like Bill Gates, Larry Ellison and certainly Warren Buffett fit in this category. Other billionaires listed here are running longstanding family companies with great success, including Christy Walton and her family (Wal-Mart). Some of the richest people in the world got that way by making incredibly smart investments, as well.
While most of us can't even begin to fathom what it would be like to be super rich, the top 100 billionaires listed here live a life of luxury and privilege that boggles the mind. And yes, some billionaires do everything possible to help others, in the form of generous charitable donations (and, in turn, generous tax deductions). Everyone listed here probably makes more money in one year that most of us will make in a lifetime. Uplifting, isn't it?

Overall Experience:
I'm not completely happy withy choice but I will say it could get better this is just my first term.
Overall Experience:
For online courses I like they fact that the students are graded on there interaction and responses to our weekly discussions. Also the class sizes are good.
Online Courses:
I think our peer-to-peer interaction is great.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
They don't explain anything to you about how much school is gonna cost you. And financial aid there horrible, you will think your suppose to be getting a certain amount of financial aid and you won't get even close to that. There estimates on how much tuition and books will cost is way off. By way off I mean like almost $1,000 off.
Academic Experience:
Online paralegal program is okay. I'm taking ethics, legal terminology, introduction to paralegal, and legal keyboarding. This isy first term so all of this stuff is pretty new to me. The teachers are amazing they are willing to help you as long as you ask them for the help.
Academic Experience:
Teachers are great. The registration process is a bit rocky they don't tell you much and you have to contact them. They don't stay in touch with you about things you are to know before you start classes. Especially the online programs.
Career Services:
No one contacted me about finalizing my degree. I had to spend a lot of my time contacting the correct people to get me my diploma and transcripts. Then instead of official transcripts they just stuck them in the envelope with my diploma. And they did not contact me in time for walking so I missed graduating with my peers.
Student Body:
The level of intelligence I expected from students who were attending this college did not measure up to my expectations. Not that this is an Ivy League school, I was still disappointed in the amount of people who could not use correct grammar even when writing a simple sentence.
Overall Experience:
The course work went well. Finishing the program caused me problems because no one stayed in contact with me after my last classes finished.
Campus Quality:
Does not apply to me I was an online student.
Online Courses:
Easy program to follow, instructors did a good job.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I paid a lot for a degree that will not really get me anywhere that I want to.
Academic Flexibility:
The course work went well. But when I completed the program it was hard to stay in touch. I had to contact them several times to get them to mail my diploma and I missed walking to receive my diploma because I was not included in the original sign up email.
Campus Resources:
Does not really apply to me I was an online student they did not involve us in campus activities.
Academic Experience:
The program was ok. I am finding it hard to move on from an associates to a bachelors because a lot of schools will not accept my credits.
Academic Experience:
The instructors did a great job of designing the courses and they were always available if I needed any help.
Academic Experience:
With only a GED under my belt, I took the Building Maintenece/HVAC Program. I did exactly what Faculty Members asked of me. Perfect Attendance, 4.0 GPA, Lab Work until it's time to close the school for the evening. The Career Center helped with Mock Interviews and Resume Writting. All the hard work helped me get a $26.27 per hour job!!!! Vatterott is the "Honey Badger" of all "little colleges".GED + Vatterott = $26.27/hr.!!!!
Campus Resources:
this is an online class and I have access to the virtual libray
Online Courses:
I was scared a first and at first i had some trouble but the teacher help me and i made it though it and on it is really easy.
Career Services:
I am still in school. But the career center is still always emailing me with job opening
Online Courses:
Overall Experience – Registering with Vatterott Online was surprisingly easy. The advisers at the local school helped me fill out all my paperwork and arranged my student loans for me. From the day I walked in to take a tour of the school, to the day I started classes was only ten days. Each term is only ten weeks long, so everything moves fairly fast and it takes some getting used to. I found that setting aside certain days of the week to work on homework makes it a lot easier to get everything done on time. The only downfall I have found is tutoring. The local campus does not have the degree I am pursuing, hints taking all my classes online. Therefore, when I needed face-to-face tutoring in a class that is the main focus point of my degree, I was told I would have to drive four hours to another Vatterott campus if I wanted face-to-face tutoring. I understand this is really the best they could offer me, other than online tutoring, but I was disappointed because when I registered the people at my local campus said they would be able to tutor me in any class I needed help in. This was not the case and I was disappointed.
Academic Experience:
2 of the 3 Professors I Had Were Excellent Teachers. One of the Professors was not at all interested in Teaching the class. He was more or less just there to do a job.
Academic Flexibility:
Vatterott Is Flexible – The only thing I really like about the School, is that if you miss a morning class, you can go to the Night class to make up your work. Other than that, I am giving the school a C because of the Money they charge for their Education.
Campus Resources:
Computer Technician – I think it could be a little more difficult, so far it has been, to my experiences a little too easy.
Campus Resources:
Their classes are very easy to manage. Within 2 days I was comfortable with my classrooms. They also offer tech support if there are any problems.

Critic Reviews for Kramer vs. Kramer
All Critics (41) | Top Critics (10) | Fresh (36) | Rotten (5) | DVD (13)
It's an interesting movie to look back on for its attitudes: In the guise of being a consciousness-raiser it plumps for male tenderness and demonizes the mother who can't recognize how far her workaholic ex-hubbie has come.
Kramer Vs. Kramer is a perceptive, touching, intelligent film about one of the raw sores of contemporary America, the dissolution of the family unit.
Benton's direction must first be praised for his choice of actors and his collaboration with them.
Benton gives his film its depth and complexity by challenging the audience's preconceptions and snap opinions at every turn.
Kramer vs. Kramer is definitely a movie to watch together -- your kids may well seek shelter under your arm, glad to know their own families enjoy more peace.
Audience Reviews for Kramer vs. Kramer
"Who's gonna read me my bedtime stories?"
The 1970's has always been a decade of film that I've never withheld my appreciation for. I'd go as far to say that's it's been the best in terms of American cinema. It was the decade where we were introduced to some of the finest screen actors in DeNiro, Nicholson & Pacino. We had films of such high calibre as The Godfather's, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Taxi Driver, Mean Streets, The Deer Hunter, Dog Day Afternoon. I could go on and on here but I mention this because Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep where another two of these marvellous performers and Kramer vs Kramer one of the films that's so often forgotten about.
Career man Ted Kramer (Dustin Hoffman) is so caught up with work that his wife Joanna (Meryl Streep) feels exhausted and unappreciated. She makes the decision to leave him but also decided to leave him with their six-year old son Billy (Justin Henry). Ted has to learn quickly how to be a hands-on father and by the time he gets used to it Joanna reappears claiming custody of Billy.
As well as the 70's being a strong decade, much admiration has also went to films in terms of Oscar sweeps. Only three films in the history of the Academy Awards have won all top five awards (Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress & Screenplay). If you consider Kramer Vs Kramer for a moment, most wouldn't normally think that this film came close to that achievement. But it did. The only award that it didn't win was Best Actress but had Meryl Streep been considered in the leading actress category it might well have done. She won Best Supporting Actress instead which makes this film very close to achieving the full sweep.
Resisting the temptation to be melodramatic, it's a fairly straightforward family drama. Films of these types tend to fall into courtroom drama's (of which this touches upon) but never falls prey to that sub-genre. The beauty in Kramer vs Kramer is not to rely on high tension or confrontation but on the human aspect of relationships and family life. It emotionally resonates by showing us the everyday; heated discussions, playtimes, bedtime stories and frustrating meal times. It might not sound like much but there's a real heartfelt authenticity in capturing these moments. Director Robert Benton, wisely, knows when to focus on his actors and has a marvellous ability to capture realism. As a result, he's aided with some stunningly delivered performances; both Hoffman and Streep are at the very top of their game and young Justin Henry is no less their equal as their young afflicted son caught in the middle.
A beautifully realised dramatic piece that benefits from the whole cast and crew delivering honest work. It fully manages to capture and depict both the beauty and the difficulty of parenting and with a thoughtful intelligence, portrays the motivations and decisions from it's characters without ever passing judgment. Another one of the decade's true highlights.

Even in our contemporary time period, the roles of mother and father are implicit and gender biased. "Kramer vs. Kramer" was a revolutionary film at the time of its release because it wasn't afraid to take the position that men can be great caretakers in the same way women were traditionally shown to be. What most people find wanting with this film is that it seems to demonize the wife, while showing that the husband is just as capable in a soapy, melodramatic way. I disagree heartily, and attest that this film doesn't take any sides, and makes a point of creating fleshed out characters who have their own desires and fears, and especially faults. Ted (Hoffman) is a lousy husband who doesn't pay attention to the needs of his wife, and Joanna (Streep) leaves her son when she tries to find herself. Both have failed their family in obvious ways, but each cares for their son equally. That said, Ted's exploits as a newly single dad mimic the same problems that all parents contend with in their daily lives. He has to learn to be productive, nurturing, attentive, and be able to understand his son's concerns about his mother without taking a side. Hoffman is really demonstrative of someone finding his way, and we both pity him and feel angered by his previous dalliances in being a workaholic, and his inattentiveness at home. Streep plays a very complex character in Joanna, who really does want to take care of her son, but hasn't figured out how best to do it. The entire ending section of the film, when they fight each other, was riveting, if only because there was no one to truly root for. Each contends with their marital issues simply, and we understand the extent of what love truly means, even when the nuclear family suffers a meltdown.

In 1979, America was just beginning to see the effects of the women's movement on the american family. There was a great amount of role reversal in the home, and the divorce rates had begun to skyrocket. In "Kramer vs. Kramer", we witness the collapse of a marriage that before, in a more typical movie, would see the man walking out on the woman, leaving her to support and raise their child alone, but now sees the woman leaving, as she feels unfulfilled in life and wants something better (there aren't necessarily any villains in this movie, only victims). Ted Kramer (Dustin Hoffman) is the husband, climbing his way up the corporate ladder, making great business contacts while his family contacts languish. Joanna Kramer (Meryl Streep) is the wife, and the only reason she's stayed with him so long is her love for little Billy, their son. As the film opens, it's come to the point where her desperation and unhappiness have surpassed even the love for her son, and she's packing to leave. Ted arrives home, high on the news he may be made a V.P. at work, completely unaware of his wife's condition or their situation. "She's ruined one of the five best days of my life" he complains, after she's walked out on him (notice the emphasis is all on him). In the midst of all this selfishness, no one seems to notice that Billy has been virtually abandoned by both parents. No, he's no Oliver Twist: he has a home, he has food and clothing, and he wants for nothing, but the adults in his life, the people who are supposed to be foundation of his very person, are letting him down in a most cruel way. Being forced together, Ted and Billy must interact without the motherly intermediary present, and it's a learning experience for both father and son. Ted goes from ignoring his son and being largely dismissive to realizing just how valuable that child is to his existence, and how much that child depends on him for literally everything. It's only after the immensity of this "parenthood thing" dawns on Ted that Joanna comes back into the picture, and after a 18-month absence, sues Ted for custody of their son.
Perhaps it takes becoming a parent to truly realize the stakes of a movie like Kramer vs. Kramer. There are few things more powerful than the love a parent has for their child (I know I would without hesitation give my life for my daughter, and even a thought of some harm be-fouling her can put literal, physical tears in my eyes almost in an instant), and yet as parents, we are capable of so much destruction in these little lives. The extent to which we can emotionally cripple our own offspring is both shocking and horrifying. They're little people, very small physically, and sometimes it's easier to ignore them while focusing on our own needs, and not even realize what it is that we're doing until it's too late. Even though I've never gone through a divorce, I can empathize with the emotions this movie projects. Parenthood is perhaps the less glamourous of the 'big emotions' that make for movie material (Death and Romantic Love usually get all the glory), but parenthood is just as powerful, just as devastating as any other great mystery of life.

Kramer vs. Kramer Quotes
|Ted Kramer:
|I came home to share with my wife one of the five best days of my life, and she tells me that she doesn't want to live with me anymore! Do you know what she's done?
|Margaret Phelps:
|Yes, she loused up one of the five best days of your life.
|Billy Kramer:
|I like Boston.
|Ted Kramer:
|Boston? Why do you like Boston?
|Billy Kramer:
|'Cause Mommy's from Boston.
|Ted Kramer:
|Is that what you think? No. That's not it, Billy. Your mom loves you very much... and the reason she left has nothing to do with you. I don't know if this will make sense, but I'll try to explain it to you. I think the reason why Mommy left... was because for a long time... I kept trying to make her be a certain kind of person. A certain kind of wife that I thought she was supposed to be. And she just wasn't like that. She was... She just wasn't like that. I think that she tried for so long to make me happy... and when she couldn't, she tried to talk to me about it. But I wasn't listening. I was too busy, too wrapped up... just thinking about myself. And I thought that anytime I was happy, she was happy. But I think underneath she was very sad. Mommy stayed here longer than she wanted because she loves you so much. And the reason why Mommy couldn't stay anymore... was because she couldn't stand me. She didn't leave because of you. She left because of me. Go to sleep now because it's really late, okay? Good night. Sleep tight

Guru is a film shot in 2007 in Hindi directed by Mani Ratnam starring Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, R. Madhavan, Vidya Balan and Mithun Chakraborty and Mallika Sherawat as a guest star. The film was also dubbed into Tamil and Telugu. It was released on January 12, 2007, and had its premiere at the Elgin Theatre Theatre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Guru was written and produced by Mani Ratnam, and dialogues in Hindi were written by Vijay Krishna Acharya. Shot in Mumbai , Turkey , Badami and Melkote (in Karnataka ) and in Chennai , Pollachi , Madurai , Chettinad region Tamil Nadu , and Athirapilly in Kerala . The music was composed by AR Rahman , with lyrics written by Gulzar .
Ratnam described Guru as a film reflecting the desire of a man for success and ambition, and shows the changes that India has had since the aftermath of independence to the present. Some reports speculate that the film has many biographical references to Dhirubhai Ambani , one of the biggest businessmen in India.
Like the character Guru, Ambani is also originally from Gujarat and son of a school teacher, worked abroad for the company Shell, and returned to India to import polyester. Ratnam has described Guru as a inspired in past and present stories piece.The Guru is a comedy about a dance teacher who comes to the United States from India and inadvertently is routed to the profession of sex guru, helped by an porn actress. Ramu is a dance teacher who lives in India, and decides to seek his fortune in the United States fooled by the hype of his cousin, Vijay. When he comes to America an agent who gets a part in a movie is searched, but did not say what type it is. So begins a series of tangles that form the world of film. His sympathy and charisma captivate anyone who is in one of his films.
With the exception of the last weak ten minutes, Guru can be described as a perfect film, error free, beautifully written and directed, beautifully played. The subject is not new to us in the West the triumphant ascent mode and with little clear of a self-made man and the setting chilling manufacturing of polyester can you imagine something more soporific, it does not scratch the excellent quality: Guru deserves to be included in the list of the best films of all time.
The film is above all a feast for the eyes. Ratnam is back to give us breathtaking natural scenery, and the cinematographer of the excellent Bombay, Raja Menon, contributes significantly to enhance the artistry of painting. And then the sets, the choreography, the shots, the reconstruction of a love Mumbai which now belongs to the past, and not least the incomparable beauty of Aishwarya Rai. But it is not only the eyes to be bombarded by the splendor of this film. Guru captivates without a moment of boredom, thanks to a fun protagonist cheerful and light-hearted and dynamic dialogues, excites offering numerous sequences of great cinema, complaint, raises ethical dilemmas.
The screenplay does not miss a beat, and it effectively tells the tumultuous changes taking place in contemporary India. The dialogues are among the best in the history of this film, with jokes to treasure the memory. The characters are, along with sublime photography, the most valuable of Guru real, human, multi-faceted, not just good, not just bad. It stands out on all the figure of Guru: vital, exuberant, energetic, but also dishonest, aggressive, little inclined to moral reflection.
And one of the most unique aspects of the film is the relationship of conflict and blood that is established between the protagonist and Nanaji, a relationship that does not break despite the deep divisions and struggles that will see them fight in opposing sides. The direction and the shots are from the manual. The interpretations unforgettable. The soundtrack magnificent and indispensable.
A round of applause for Mani Ratnam directed and the screenplay, Raja Menon for photography, Vijay Krishna Acharya for dialogues, to Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai to. And thumbs down to the usual short-sighted distributors for joining us once again deprived of the chance to see on the big screen is not a film but a work of art. The masterpieces of this caliber do not need special effects and 3D technology: win with their excellence.
The film tells a story that spans three decades. In 1951, the young Guru (Abhishek Bachchan) emigrated to Istanbul in search of work. But has a dream: to start his own. As an adult, accompanied by his wife Sujata (Aishwarya Rai), we test in Mumbai, extricating between corporate rules and difficulties of various kinds. Our hero does not give up. And do not take no for an answer. Even if it means bribe, cheat, cheating, breaking the law.
Abhishek Bachchan. Superb, uncontrollable, natural. We instantly fell in love with its magical, optimistic Guru, when he plays a joke of the school bell, when he dreams of the future of swinging, to admire pleased when the fat around the abdomen. But especially when she shows her excellent technique in the game of golf ...
Aishwarya Rai and her unattainable beauty, its unsurpassed elegance. In the beautiful choreography of Barso Re and Tere Bina is unclear why Ash is the main cause of insomnia for half of the male population of the planet. Its the best joke in a script packed with memorable dialogue: 'You know it's already morning in many parts of the world? Can not think of anything else to this village? '. Words that perfectly sum up the message of the film.
The agreement is full of warmth shared by Abhishek and Ash, in love for real: officially announce their engagement two days after the distribution of Guru . Unforgettable exchanging jokes to the station ( video ), the opportunities you are looking for, the effusions stolen, skirmishes night ( video tamil version). Ammirateli in Tere Bina . Great couple, on screen and in life.
Vidya Balan and his painful performance. The irresistible smiles, the sweetness of the look, the powerful description of a disease that devastates the strenuous attachment to life. And the bitter, desperate kiss. Vidya plays a minor role, but enough to give some of the most intense moments of Guru .
Despite the director put bravely exposed the crimes perpetrated by the industrial sector, suddenly at the end prefer to withdraw and paint as a hero, a man who justifies the fraud committed in the name of public interest. And 'the moral ambivalence of the film that somehow leaves unsatisfied. From a kinematic point of view Guru is the quintessence of Mani Ratnam. Each frame is gorgeous, with the complicity of the wonders of photography Rajiv Menon.
The combination of AR Rahman and Gulzar create magic with the melody. Abhishek puts body and soul into a dream role, even if it sometimes seems that the character required of him too, especially in the climax. Aishwarya Rai is unable to grow with his role. The first time is intensely dramatic. The second dwells and is repetitive. But Guru is an important film because it deals with a new argument, and raises an important question on the aggressive Indian industrial apparatus.
Strong point: the characters, photography, screenplay, interpretations, ecceccecc. Ratnam is like us in love with his character, and forgive a little 'too much. In addition, the mention of Gandhi in the end you had to avoid. But the merits of the film are so many and such as cloud judgment and lead to forgiving the weaknesses.

The Magazine
They Don't Really Support the Troops
The latest from the New Republic and the Nation.
Jul 30, 2007, Vol. 12, No. 43 • By WILLIAM KRISTOL
Cindy Sheehan, mother of a soldier who was killed in Iraq, emerged on the American political scene two years ago. Distraught and unstable, she was shamelessly exploited by opponents of George W. Bush and the war while such exploitation seemed to pay political benefits. When she became an embarrassment, she, like others before her, was tossed onto the trash heap of history by her progressive minders.
Sheehan was useful to the antiwar left in a particular way. As Jonathan Cohn put it in the September 12, 2005, New Republic, "Sheehan's value isn't as a barometer of public opinion or as a source of foreign policy wisdom. It's as proof of one very simple point: that a person can criticize the war and still support the troops."
It's unclear that Sheehan was particularly interested in "supporting the troops"--unless one means by that lamenting the fate of the troops as victims. The fact that relatively few soldiers see themselves as victims, the fact that few families understand their loved ones' service and sacrifices in that light--that didn't matter. What mattered to the left was that it was dangerous politically not to "support the troops." Of course the antiwar left hated what the troops were doing, fighting the enemy in Iraq, and they hated the troops' goal, victory in Iraq. So "supporting the troops" meant feeling sorry for them, or pretending to--something antiwar politicians and media did with great hand-wringing and hoopla.
With the ongoing progress of the surge, and the obvious fact that the vast majority of the troops want to fight and win the war, the "support-the-troops-but-oppose-what-they're-doing" position has become increasingly untenable. How can you say with a straight face that you support the troops while advancing legislation that would undercut their mission and strengthen their enemies?
You can't. So those on the cutting edge of progressive opinion are beginning to give up on even pretending to support the troops. Instead, they now slander the troops.
Two progressive magazines have taken complementary approaches in this effort. In its July 30 issue, the Nation has a 24-page article based on interviews with 50 Iraq veterans. The piece allegedly reveals "disturbing patterns of behavior by American troops in Iraq"--indeed, it claims that the war has "led many troops to declare an open war on all Iraqis." Needless to say, the anecdotal evidence in the article comes nowhere close to supporting this claim. There are a few instances of out-of-control behavior, some routine fog-of-war and brutality-of-war incidents, and much that is simply trivial. The picture is unpleasant, as one would expect--but it comes nowhere close to living up to the authors' billing: "The war the vets described is a dark and even depraved enterprise."
Since the Nation has held this view of every American war (except when we were fighting side-by-side with Stalin's Soviet Union), and loves nothing more than accounts of American war crimes, its story is no surprise. At least they interviewed real soldiers on the record. The New Republic, in its July 23 issue, takes a different tack. Its slander of American soldiers appears to be fiction presented as fact, behind a convenient screen of anonymity.
A column entitled "Shock Troops" is said to be the work of "Scott Thomas"--"the pseudonym for a soldier currently serving in Baghdad." "Thomas" colorfully describes three sets of alleged misdeeds he and his buddies committed in Baghdad: They humiliate a woman in a military dining hall who has been disfigured in an IED explosion (the woman "wore an unrecognizable tan uniform, so I couldn't really tell whether she was a soldier or a civilian contractor"); they discover human remains and one private spends a day and night playing around with a child's skull ("which even had chunks of hair"), amusing his fellow soldiers; and one private routinely drives a Bradley Fighting Vehicle recklessly and uses the vehicle to kill stray dogs.

Owning certain stocks can save you thousands

At one point in its history, this stock was synonymous with
success in the cellphonemarket . But not any longer.
During the past year, it has reported billions in operating
losses, closed several of its worldwide manufacturing sites, cut
tens of thousands of jobs, and has lowered the price of its
flagship products due to poor sales.
This company has faced bankruptcy before and could be
approaching it once again.Shares of the stock have plummeted about
47% year-to-date and look poised to drop further.
All of these reasons make the stock of Finnish cellphone maker,
Nokia (NYSE:
, potentially an excellent short.
The picture wasn't always this grim. Between 1998 and 2011,
Nokia sold the most mobile phones in the world. Even today, Nokia
sells an average of one million phones a day.
But the company has bledmarket share as it's fallen behind more
innovative smartphone leaders, such as
Apple (Nasdaq:
Google (Nasdaq:
. Between 2005 and 2010, while Apple was bringing its revolutionary
new iPhone and iPad technologies to market, Nokia was focusing on
developing low-end mobile phones. While it succeeded in making
mobile technology accessible to developing nations, it missed out
almost entirely on the smartphone revolution.
Now trying to play catch-up, the company has entered the
smartphone race, perhaps too late. It's teamed up with
Microsoft (Nasdaq:
to develop two new smartphones -- the Lumia 820 and 920 -- which
run on Microsoft's Windows 8 platform.
To generate sales for the 2012 holiday season, Nokia's Lumia
phones will be released in November -- in time to compete with
Apple's new iPhone 5. Industry analysts think Nokia will lose out
to Apple. They expect Nokia will sell less than four million phones
in the quarter. In contrast, Apple received more than two million
iPhone 5 orders in the first 24 hours the product was released! As
such, the holiday season could be the defining "make it or break
it" moment for Nokia.
The technical outlook for Nokia certainly looks foreboding.
At one point during the peak of the tech bubble in 2000, Nokia
traded north of $50 a share. Even in late 2008, it approached $40.
Amajor downtrend line can be drawn over theprice action of the past
two years beginning late January 2011. Since that time, the shares
has fallen more than 85%, from a high near $11.15, in early 2011,
to an all-time low of $1.63 in July 2012.
Since hitting this low, shares have rebounded, peaking at a high
of $3.39 in August, before settling back to current levels near
At this level, shares are again pushing against resistance,
dating back to the spring. Theminor uptrend line off the July low
currently intersects the chart at about $2.65. If this trendline is
broken, it's likely the old low near $1.63 would be retested.
As such, shorting the stock if the trendline was broken
couldyield gains of about 38%.
The technical outlook supports thebearish fundamentals.
For the upcoming quarter, analysts project poor phone sales will
cause revenue to drop 29% to $9 billion, from $12.7 billion in the
comparable year-ago period. For the full 2012 year, analysts expect
revenue will fall 24% to $38.3 billion, from $50.5 billion last
Theearnings picture is equally grim. For the upcoming quarter,
analysts predict slowing demand for Nokia phones will push the
company into a loss of 13 cents a share, from a gain of 4 cents in
the year-ago quarter. For the full 2012 year, earnings are also
expected to be negative, falling nearly a dollar, from 38 cents
last year, to a loss of 41 cents this year.
From a valuation standpoint, Nokia is poor. The company has
areturn on equity (ROE) of -36%. Its five-year projectedPEG ratio
(price-to-earnings divided by growth rate) is very high at 5.4. A
PEG of one or under is thought to represent good value while
anything over two is considered to be very pricey.
Risks to Consider:
If Nokia can use its Lumia phone to compete with the iPhone5,
the company stands a fighting chance of surviving. But if Nokia
phone sales are poor, as industry analysts expect, the company
could sink further, potentially reachingpenny stock status.
Action to take -->
Place a sell-on-stop order at $2.64, a few cents below the minor
uptrend line good until Friday, Oct. 19. Set a stop-loss at $3.41,
slightly above the August spike high. Set a target of $1.63 for a
potential 38% gain. Risk/reward ratio is 1.3:1.

I'm about to create a terrain for a mobile game which allows a huge terrain which is mostly limited by the available hardisk space.
This requires to keep the floating points limited to a "after-point-precision" of 2 numbers. What is a good approach to keep it at the precision of 2 numbers after the point?
Remember: I'm running on a mobile device, so the method should be fast and easy to use and should be applicable to any arithmetic which is needed for games.
More information
I'm not talking about space( i know how much space a float takes guys, really ), i'm talking about the issue that i loose precision when my floating point is going to have to many numbers after the decimal point.
Using a
int would cause that i've to convert the int into a float each frame. I don't know how fast the conversion is but this seems to cost a lot of performance when doing it for a lot of objects. ( Remeber i'm on a mobile device ).
Of course i'm also not talking about the terrain, i'm talking about objects in the terrain! The terrain is a specialized system which actually can hold a terrain size which extends the limits of the floats a lot ( It's even possible to save north america in this system when you have enough disk space, but actually the limits are set to -99km to +99km ).
Edit 2
As usual in games the movement is timebased, means i need to multiply the speed of the object with a modifier given to me by unity, this corrupts my numbers which are limited to 2 numbers after the decimal point.
