The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of cueing device by using visual , auditory or somatosensory stimuli during walking in Parkinson's disease patients. Parkinson's disease is the neurodegenerative disorders that results in characteristic motor abnormalities including impairment of gait and postural instability. The use of cueing device can improve gait of the patients by paying attention to the stimuli during walking. External rhythmical cueing is defined as 'applying temporal (rhythmical) or spatial stimuli associated with the initiation and ongoing facilitation of motor activity. Nine Parkinson's disease patients are recruited in this study. Stride length , Step length and Velocity of all patients are significantly increased and Cadence is significantly decreased in all stimuli when compared to without using stimuli. The results from this study can be useful for the patients in the future.

Key marine sector conference hosted at NUI Galway
Friday, 27 November 2015
The Socio-Economic Marine Research Unit (SEMRU), Whitaker Institute, NUI Galway, and Focal Point Ireland jointly organised the 2nd National Event of the Support Team for the Atlantic Action Plan, in association with the 6th Annual Beaufort Socio-Economic Marine Research Symposium. With over 100 registered delegates, the day provided participants with an update on a wide range of topics related to the marine sector in Ireland and the Atlantic Area, as well as forum for discussing funding opportunities available to Irish stakeholders. There was special on-line address by Commissioner Karmenu Vella (European Commissioner for the Environment, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries) as well as input from DG MARE, the Marine Institute, Failte Ireland and the INTERREG programmes. The day hosted 2 parallel sessions and showcased current socio-economic marine research and funding opportunities. Sessions focused on the INTERREG Atlantic Area and Ireland Wales programme and facilitated the use of these programmes in implementing the Atlantic Action Plan, Priority 4. Presentations from both the national contact points of these programmes as well as input from stakeholders involved in these programmes created a lively discussion on the opportunities available, how people are looking to avail of these with the ultimate aim of generating potential project ideas to bring forward in the future. A number of project ideas were presented and discussed on a one-to-one basis in a dedicated networking session in the afternoon. Delegates also had the opportunity to listen to Irish and international researchers in the area of marine socio-economics and discuss on-going research, potential collaboration and future research needs.

Frontiers in Healthcare Conference
Wednesday, 18 November 2015
2nd Annual Frontiers in Healthcare Conference The Health Economics and Policy Analysis research group held the 2nd Annual Frontiers in Healthcare Conference in the ILAS Building on November 4. The conference, which was attended by about 100 delegates, focused on the issue of adherence and this topic was addressed by academics from a variety of disciplines including economics, psychology and medicine and healthcare professionals working in both the public and private sector. Brendan Kennelly, who organized the conference with the cooperation of Novartis Ireland, said that it was important to recognize that adherence was not simply a question of adherence to medication. The topic extended to questions such as why people adhere or not to health promoting behaviour and why medical professionals adhere or not to care guidelines. Considerable attention was given to whether new technologies can be used to improve adherence and the ethical considerations that arise from the use of these technologies. This annual conference has already established itself as an important event in Ireland and planning is already underway for the next conference in November 2016.

'United to swoop for Arsenal star' - Manchester United are poised to go head-to-head with rivals City for Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna next week, according to the Daily Mail. In what is branded an 'exclusive' the paper says it understands overtures from Old Trafford to the Frenchman's representatives have been made over the last 48 hours. Sagna will reportedly hold formal talks with Manchester City representatives next week with a view to a four-year deal worth a minimum of £100,000-per-week. The Etihad Stadium club are understood to be well advanced in their interest in the France international - but United now look likely to pip their city rivals to his signing.
Paper Round's view: Next United boss Louis van Gaal is believed to have identified Sagna as the man he wants to contest the right-back slot with Rafael, who has endured a very mixed campaign with the position as his own. Stealing Sagna from under City's noses would be a spectacular way of announcing himself to the United faithful, with the defender's abilities not in question at Premier League level. Will City offer enough to put their rivals out of the running? It's more unlikely than it would have been previously, while Pablo Zabaleta has enjoyed another stellar campaign in the position. Sagna would be a perfect fit for United to ease the pressure off Rafael.
'Liverpool target £20m-rated Prem striker' - Brendan Rodgers wants to make Wilfried Bony his third big Liverpool striker next season, according to the Sunday People. Kop boss Rodgers is in the £20 million race for the Swansea goal machine, who he believes is the ideal signing over the summer. Bony fancies a move to play in the Champions League – and that gives Liverpool a major advantage over their rivals, including their neighbours Everton and new FA Cup winners Arsenal. And Swansea will deal if they get the right price for the Ivory Coast World Cup star they signed last summer.
Paper Round's view: It makes complete sense that Rodgers wants a new face to compete with the SAS partnership of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge with the Uruguayan inevitably set to be a transfer talking point all summer with Real Madrid understood to be very interested. Liverpool have the cash to buy Bony and the money to give him a big contract hike. The final obstacle will be if the 25-year-old is happy with a squad place at this stage of his career – and the signs are Bony would accept that.
'Bayern eye move for Arsenal hero' – Bayern Munich are preparing to make a stunning summer move for Arsenal midfielder and FA Cup final hero Aaron Ramsey, according to a report in the Daily Star. Another Sunday 'exclusive', the paper report that the Bundesliga club's boss, Pep Guardiola, tried to sign Ramsey, 23, while in charge at Barcelona and has maintained an interest in the stylish Wales international. Barcelona have also watched Ramsey in six games this season as the Spanish club start to assess how they will fill the gaps that will be left once Xavi, 34, and Andres Iniesta, 30, retire. But it will be Guardiola who attempts to persuade Ramsey to leave Arsenal over the summer and move to Bavaria.
Paper Round's view: It is certainly likely that the likes of Guardiola would be very interested in signing the Welshman, who has enjoyed a standout season, scoring 15 goals in 33 games for the Gunners – including one against Bayern's rivals Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. He was the driving force behind Arsenal's fantastic start to the Premier League campaign but was injured in a win over West Ham on Boxing Day and was ruled out for three months. It's very rare in football for loyalty to be a factor, but he may just feel that towards Wenger after he kept faith in him through the dark days of his double leg fracture.
'City identify top midfield target' - Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini is pushing ahead with the signing of Porto's £20 million midfielder Fernando as he devises a strategy to win the Champions League next season with just 21 players, according to the Daily Mail. Pellegrini plans to base his next European campaign around the Brazilian — one of the best holding midfielders in the world — after accepting that the team need to tighten up following three successive Champions League failures. Fernando, 26, is regarded as a particularly important acquisition by Pellegrini, who privately acknowledged after the club's Champions League exit to Barcelona last season that he might have to be more cautious in big games to succeed against Europe's elite.
Paper Round's view: City are determined that Friday's punishment by UEFA for breaking Financial Fair Play rules, consisting of a heavy fine and squad restrictions, will not alter their ambitions for next season and Fernando has been repeatedly linked with a move to the Etihad. Pellegrini's plan would surely be to use Fernando as a defensive midfield player, allowing Fernandinho and Yaya Toure to play ahead of him. That would mean City playing with just one striker in a 4-1-4-1 system for some European games. The City boss clearly feels that Fernando is the answer because of his willingness to help protect the defence at all times and that could be the key to the club finally representing a more solid force in the Champions League.

Due to Scheduling Miscommunication Knicks Accidentally Thought They Had the Night Off
- I think our listener Niro put it best when he said "There were two games this season that just disgusted me. The Houston game and the Houston game."
- I understand the Knicks were without Melo, Sheed, Shumpert, Amare and Camby, but they weren't scheduled to be without Defense, good shooting, controlling the pace and taking care of the ball too.
- There is a lot of talk about Lin and Harden not being able to play together, but they combined for 394,402,134 points on 97% shooting tonight (approximately) so maybe we shouldn't jump to conclusions.
- At least Chandler Parsons didn't light the Knicks up again.
- Copeland got 9 quick points to start the 3rd quarter and for a second I thought the Knicks were going to make a comeback, but then the Knicks decided it would be a good idea to let Harden shoot open 3's the rest of the night.
- I started this recap 5 minutes ago when the Knicks were down by 20 and they are now down by 27.
- JR, I love when you go to bed early and have a great shooting game the next day, but can you try and make that happen in a game where you're good shooting would actually make a difference?
- I'm really glad the Knicks don't have to play Houston again for at least 11 more months.
- 10-1 at home is still really darn good.
- Another positive is we can start to prepare for Copesanity. He had a career high 29 points on 11-19 shooting.
Knicks Player Tweet of the Week
The Knicks Bench Beat the Heats Starters, improve to 14-4
I'm starting this recap early and commenting as the game goes:
- Kurt is making the most out of his obligatory 5 minute starting role. 4 boards. Too bad we won't see him again tonight.
- Sheed is getting cheers in Miami. I didn't realize how loved he is, he gets cheered in every stadium.
- A lot of 3's, most of them good looks.
- Took 9 minutes for the first shady call. JR Smith fouled LeBrons shoulder with his face.
- Another good defensive stand by JR, LeBron traveled…nope blocking foul on JR AND a tech. How has there been no investigation into Ed Malloy and Joey Crawford?
- 3.5 minutes into the 2nd and one basket by either team. NY is playing Prigs, Sheed, Novak, Kidd and White so that's understandable, Miami still has Bosh out there.
- White and Prigioni coming up huge in the 2nd quarter.
- If you want to score on the Knicks just do a back door cut.
- Novak back to back buckets just when you get the feeling Miami might make a run. LeBron 3 and Felton 3 in the final 30 seconds, AND if there was .1 of a second more on the clock LeBron would have scored again. Great game so far.
- Felton and Kidd got on a 9-0 run to start the 3rd!
- An 11-0 run after a 9-0 run and 8 made 3's by 5 different players.
- LeBron with a monster dunk. He looks super pissed out there. He's also the only player on the Heat who isn't sucking.
- Smith has been getting mauled all quarter. Foul on Smith.
- LeBron is about 2 uncontested layups away from going postal on his teammates.
- One of these years Rasheed is going to hit one of these 3's.
- 3rd 9-0 run of the game, Knicks up by over 20.
- I heard Stern almost fined the Heat $250K tonight until he realized that Bosh and Wade actually played tonight.
Knicks are the number 1 seed after having beat the #2 seed twice this season by a total of 40 points!

Brooklyn Hipsters knock off the New York Isolations…This one hurts way more than Houston
The Knicks played retro ball tonight and by retro ball I mean they played like it was last season. They played all iso ball all the time. There were times I thought Melo was going to break out a cape he was playing so much hero ball. This loss may be their worst all season. It is not because it was against the Nets. This one can't be blamed on bad refs or too much travel. The Knicks didn't catch a crazy performance from a Chandler Parsons type tonight. The defense was all right but they were ugly on offense throughout. It was every man for themselves on offense with the exception of Tyson Chandler who cleaned up and had a monster game on offense, keeping this team in the game. This loss kills me because we should not be about to enter December with this team reverting to all their bad habits. Let's hope the real reason they lost was because Jason Kidd was out. Here are my thoughts:
- Did JR Smith wear Felton's number tonight because that is the only explanation for Felton's 3-19 performance?
- Did Rasheed re-retire before tonight's game and not tell anyone? How does a guy who should only be shooting from inside the paint go 2-11?
- Hey Melo, STOP TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING BY YOURSELF!!! You have teammates and unless you trust them you are never going to win.
- Chandler was 12-13 from the field with 28 points, all of which seemed to be off of teammates misses. Does anyone want to run some pick and rolls for this guy? Chandler could have scored 40 tonight if the Knicks made any effort to get him involved in the offense. Continue reading
Ho-Hum, Knicks Win Again, Knicks 8-1, What did you expect?
The New Orleans Hornets have some young and really good players including Eric Gordon and Anthony Davis. Those guys didn't play tonight so the Hornets pretty much had no chance. To their credit, the Hornets kept it close for two quarters and it was kind of like when you played your older brother in basketball growing up. There were times when your older brother took it easy and you hit some shots but then he would realize the score was too close and lower the boom down on you. There was never a point tonight when you thought Hornets had a chance. The Knicks teams of the last few years would have blown a trap game like this or at least kept you on the edge of your seat way too long. This team does not do that. I love this team. Here are my thoughts:
- Do you think at half time Woodson told his team a win by less than 10 points is basically a loss?
- The Knicks are 8-1 despite playing the toughest schedule in the NBA. Enough said.
- The Knicks won by 22 tonight and the game didn't even look that close for most of the second half.
- The Hornets scored 31 points in the 2nd quarter. They only scored 32 points the rest of the game. Continue reading
Knicks Player Tweet of the Tweet
JR Smith gets this weeks Knicks Player Tweet of the Tweet, referring to his run in with Jerryd Bayless.
Michael (@delacmi1) scours twitter all week to find our Knicks player Tweet of the Week every Monday morning.
6-1 Is Still Really Good
We knew the Knicks had to lose eventually. At least the Knicks first loss was to the Grizzlies who are playing the best basketball in the league and now have the leagues best record as well.
Once again the energy was playoff atmosphere. The effort on both ends was unbelievable. Carmelo held his own for the most part guarding Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph and Rasheed Wallace looked like 2004 Rasheed.
Jerryd Bayless and JR Smith got into it late in the 2nd quarter and everything began to go downhill. Continue reading
Knicks vs Grizzlies – 11-16-12 – Game Thread
This is probably the toughest test of the season so far as the quest to remain undefeated continues. Comment here as the game goes on.


text:
Mike Phillips is preferred to Dwayne Peel at scrum half while Stephen Jones holds onto the number 10 jersey ahead of James Hook, who remains on the bench.
There are three changes in the forwards - hooker Huw Bennett and prop Adam Jones have been recalled, with Matthew Rees and Rhys Thomas making way, while Alun Wyn Jones has recovered from injury to replace his Ospreys club-mate Ian Evans in the second row.
Notably, danger man Shane Williams has scored 10 tries in his last seven Tests. The Ospreys flyer needs one try to equal Gareth Thomas' Wales record of 40 tries.
Commenting his selected team, Gatland, who coached Ireland from 1998 to 2001, said: "A number of players have had a run-out for us in the first three games of the championship and selection in most areas could be put down to the toss of a coin, which is testament to the effort the guys have put in.
"Weâ00ve had to make a judgement call at scrum half, in the front row and in the second row, but it really is a close call for us in each of those positions as well as elsewhere in the team."
The New Zealander was quick to point out that his side will travel across as underdogs despite their 100% record in the championship to date.
"Ireland are a fantastic side, theyâ00ve been a top five team in World rugby for a number of years and we have an opportunity to measure ourselves and find out where we are.
â00We'll go there as underdogs. They have lost only one game themselves in the dying minutes against France and Croke Park will be an intimidating place, but we must not be daunted by the task at hand."
The Welsh are eyeing a Triple Crown this weekend. Gatland agrees that silverware would give his players a serious boost in these closing stages of the championship, but he is wary of the quality in the Irish team, particularly play-maker Ronan O'Gara.
"You only have to look at the number of caps Ireland have throughout the side to recognise they will be a major force to be reckoned with and in Ronan O'Gara they have someone who can direct the game and really hurt opponents," he added.
â00If we donâ00t keep a tight rein on him it could be a long day for us. We will be showing Ronan and his side the utmost respect.
â00We are in a great position going for a Triple Crown. It would be nice to win it but the most important thing to us is the championship. The Triple Crown would be the icing on the cake, but at this stage we just need to make sure our performance is where we want it to be and take it from there.â0

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
Fatal pier accident investigation completed:
SAN FRANCISCO -- For the second time this year, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has cited and fined the same Honolulu ship loading company for knowingly allowing employees to work in hazardous conditions.
Hawaii Stevedores, Inc., based in Honolulu, was cited Monday for serious violations of federal safety and health regulations following an OSHA investigation into a drowning that occurred on May 25, 1999 when Mr. Edgar Fernandez accidently drove a vehicle off a pier into 40 foot deep water.
The serious citation, and penalties of $19,000, are for the lack of ten inch high curbs or similar barriers at work areas on Pier #5, Barbers Point Harbor, where forklifts and other vehicles are used to load and unload ships along the 500-foot-long pier; and for failure to develop and disseminate an adequate emergency action plan for the work site for emergency response should an accident occur.
The willful citation against Hawaii Stevedores includes penalties of $70,000 for failure to provide curbing, or some other barrier along the water side edge of work areas of Pier #1 at Fort Armstrong, where vehicles are used.
Immediately following the fatal accident on May 25, OSHA took several steps to notify employers and employees of the hazards associated with working near pier edges without curbs. The agency posted a Notice of Imminent Danger at Barber's Point to warn employers not to work with vehicles on the pier until temporary curbing was put in place. OSHA then contacted the long shoring employers throughout the area in early June to warn them of the danger and advise them that they would be cited if they did not install temporary railing when working on piers without curbs. On June 11, OSHA sent written notice to the companies explaining that OSHA would issue citations to employers who did not comply with the federal regulation. OSHA then began conducting inspections of longshoring work sites.
"Our inspections of ship loading companies in the Honolulu area indicated that all were following the regulations and installing temporary railings except for Hawaii Stevedores," said Alan Traenkner, director of enforcement and investigations for OSHA in San Francisco. "In the case of Hawaii Stevedores, the hazards remained despite the fact that OSHA had notified the company of the hazard, and the State of Hawaii Harbor's Division had posted a warning to keep vehicles away."
According to Traenkner, subsequent to the inspections, Hawaii Stevedores, and all other ship loading companies have now installed effective temporary railings on the piers which will prevent additional accidents until permanent barriers can be erected.
Hawaii Stevedores, Inc. has a history of 15 OSHA inspections since 1990, and has been cited for more than 40 violations, including previous willful citations. Last June, Hawaii Stevedores was cited for willful and serious violations and fined $135,000 following an OSHA investigation into a December 4, 1998 accident that seriously injured an employee who fell more than 30 feet from atop a stack of shipping containers. The employee, and another who also fell but was less seriously hurt, were not provided with required safety equipment to prevent falls.
OSHA issues a willful violation only in cases when an employer knew that a condition constituted a violation or was aware that a hazardous condition existed and made no reasonable effort to correct it. OSHA issues a serious citation only when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result, and the employer either knew, or should have known, of the hazard.
The company has 15 working days from the date of the notice to contest the citations.

PARIS — Saint-Etienne romped to a 4-1 win away to Bordeaux to move level on points with third-place Nice in the French league on Sunday.
Midfielder Vincent Pajot and new signing Oussama Tannane scored inside the first seven minutes against a week Bordeaux defense that has conceded 12 goals in four games.
Although defender Cedric Yambere pulled a goal back in the 10th, Saint-Etienne scored in the second half through strikers Alexander Soderlund in the 70th and Nolan Roux four minutes later.
Bordeaux striker Cheick Diabate was sent off in injury time.
Nice leads Saint-Etienne on goal difference.
Also, striker Eder scored his first goal for Lille, but Ousmane Dembele's 89th-minute penalty earned Rennes a 1-1 draw.
Later Sunday, unbeaten leader Paris Saint-Germain travels to play rival Marseille.

Calais Refugee Camp.
Towards the end of December, we went with Music Against Borders to Calais Refugee Camp to record musicians on the site and hold a concert. It was without doubt utterly heartbreaking, but at the same time heartwarming in the reception the musicians where given. This is an interview with Ismael from Afghanistan. The plan is to release a music compilation fundraiser at the end of March.
There is a full report and music clips on the Calais section on this website.

Svajone; Lithuanian Youth Symphony Orchestra.
Svajone (Dream) are from Alytus, Lithuania. Our friend Valerijus and his organisation Eastern Stream bought them to the UK for a series of concerts. The orchestra was established in 2000 by Pranas Stepanovas and Daiva Martikonyte. Many of the arrangements are by Pranas, who sadly passed away in 2015. The tour was in memory of him and all the work he did for the orchestra.

Something weird has been going on in the last couple days.. When I got the game on tuesday, I had no problem trying to kill people. I was so overjoyed to see that my bullets actually killed, and every gun was fairly easy to handle. But yesterday night, my bullets don't hit. It takes at least two clips to kill one person. The recoil on these guns are ridiculous now, and I even get the host migration screen at least twice every match now. So.. What the heck happened? And this last patch that was supposed to fix the freezing and connection issues.. My game froze right after installing the patch, ironically enough. And the lag is just horrible now. With all the lag issues, I feel like i'm playing MW3.. It shouldn't have to be this way. Not when it was working flawlessly the first two or three days. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this game. This is definitely the best game in the series, better than cod4. But the lag... Please fix it!
To make the game playable ish for me ive had to swap my fast router to my crap old netgear router to stop me pulling host.... Before couldnt drop anyone but even now its not great.
That's a shame. This game was perfect the first couple days.. And I don't know what's been going on. Ever since I installed that STUPID patch, my game has frozen twice. The first BO never did it this much. I had quit playing MP for a bit, just so I could maybe try zombies. I played a game of grief for the first time. After maybe six rounds and people rage quitting, all I had to do to win was survive. It froze as soon as the message left my screen. I'm so angry right now, because this is the best CoD; and I REALLY loved CoD4. I've been waiting since the end of the first BO for this game, and this is what my $60 earns me; a game that now freezes every couple hours, and a MP that lags without mercy.

I'm a geekette who enjoys playing with new technology for software developers. I work as a Developer Evangelist for Microsoft. My current focus is on machine learning and big data on Azure.
This post kicks off a blog post series on common certification failures when submitting an app to the Windows Store. Windows 8 development is taking off, and some folks have pinged me with questions when their apps don't get in the first time. I will address the most common issues with Windows Store submission.
Today, I will provide some general guidance. For the rest of the week, I will walk through the top reasons for certification failure and how to fix them.
Run the WACK. The Windows Application Certification Kit (WACK) is an awesome tool. Perhaps you have developed for an app store before and encountered the really fun cycle of: submit your app, wait, receive a failure notice, fix your bug, re-submit your app, wait, receive a failure notice, fix your bug, re-submit your app, wait…and repeat. The WACK reduces this cycle by giving you a way to screen your app locally for issues before you even submit it to the Windows Store. Essentially, the WACK is a series of automated tests (which are also run during certification). Running them locally, you can find and fix bugs before you submit your app to the Windows Store. The WACK is installed when you install Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8 (available as a free download here, halfway down the page in blue). When you install Visual Studio, you should also get a tile in your Start Menu for the WACK (see the picture below). Finally, here is some how-to documentation on using the WACK.
Test on ARM. Particularly for the performance requirements, it helps to test on devices running ARM processors and/or low-end machines. In general, it's a good idea to test on several different machines.
Also note that your app must provide the same user experience on all processor types that it supports (this is certification requirement 3.2). If your app has a different user interface or functionality when it runs on different processor types, you must submit a separate app for each processor type and describe the differences in the "Description" section of each app.
Finally, you may be wondering "How do I test on ARM?" since Visual Studio doesn't run on ARM devices. You can accomplish this through remote debugging. Tim Heuer wrote a fabulous post on how to enable remote debugging on an ARM device.
Read the documentation. I know that this part isn't fun, but taking some time to read through ALL of the certification requirements will help you avoid mistakes. Here is the full list of Windows 8 certification requirements. There is also guidance on avoiding common certification failures and resolving certification errors. Finally, here is the App Developer Agreement for developers and Windows Store Terms of Use for the users who download your app.
I've also listed some additional documentation in the Resources section below.
Create an accurate and compelling app listing page. When you submit your app to the Windows Store, you will be required to fill out various metadata about your app: a description, age rating, etc. Take your time and do a good job filling out your application information. (If you've taken the time to write a great app, don't rush through this part!) There is a lot of great guidance on this at Preparing your app for the Store (marketing has never been a strength of mine, so I find this really useful). Here are some specific tips around creating a great app listing page:
Windows Store simulator. Your app can use the Windows Store commerce APIs from the Windows.ApplicationModel.Store namespace for features like trial functionality or in-app purchases. If you use these: first of all, test your app to verify that it handles typical exceptions; you can do this using the Windows Store simulator available through the CurrentAppSimulator class. Then, make sure that you change your app to talk to the real Store and not the simulator before submitting (your app should use the CurrentApp class instead of the CurrentAppSimulator class, which is for testing purposes only). Finally, ensure that your app doesn't crash if there's no network connectivity.
Roaming Data. This is a tip recommended by Jason Follas in a recent DevRadio interview that we did (link to come, once it's published). Clear out your roaming and local settings as part of a "clean install" test before submitting to the Store. Remember that the certification testers are running your application installed on top of a clean build of Windows 8. Jason had a submission failure due to a frustrating "works on my machine" bug: the roaming data wasn't initialized properly, but he had this information already saved in his roaming settings, and the bug was only apparent on a new install.
For the rest of the week, I will explain the top certification errors when submitting to the Windows Store:
1.2 Your app must be fully functional.
3.8 Your app must meet the basic performance criteria on a low-power computer.
4.1 Privacy requirements
6.5 You must localize your app for all languages that it supports
Finally, I want to close with some great resources, including a link to Windows Store developer support if you get stuck.
Windows 8 app certification requirements – This is the full list of certification requirements. If your app fails certification, it will specifically cite one of these requirements as the reason for failure.
Avoiding common certification failures – This article lists some of the top causes of certification failure.
Resolving certification errors – This article goes through each requirement and lists additional resources and/or common gotchas for that particular requirement.
Developer support for Windows Store apps – There are a number of support options available, including phone, email, and live chat. You can also use the forums for free.
BUILD 2012 session on "Windows Store: how does it work?" – This is a great video from BUILD 2012 on submitting to the Windows Store. The slides are available for download too.
General tips & tricks and resources
1.2 App must be fully functional
3.8 App must meet the basic performance criteria
4.1 App must comply with privacy requirements
6.5 App must be localized

I actually read the whole email then went to the website. I really do appreciate how they inform possible customers of the process and thinking behind this one product. I can't see this effort for a PnS. It's not only the innovative viewfinder but the total package down to the smallest detail. Sort of highlighting old fashion workmanship in the digital era. It's looking great so far. Kudos to them.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

6 Million Square Feet of LEED Office Space to Hit Manhattan in 2013
It's been a relatively flat start for commercial real estate leasing activity in New York City so far in 2012. And – in what the Wall Street Journal is calling the local office market's "toughest test" since the 2008 downturn – three new speculative, LEED-hopeful office buildings are slated to come on line in 2013. Together, One World Trade Center, Four World Trade Center, and 51 Astor Place will deliver 6 million square feet of new space into the Manhattan office market. According to Cassidy Turley, that would be the most new space delivered in a single year since the late 1980s.
But the success of leasing efforts at these properties will likely have little to do with their LEED labels and green attributes. As the Wall Street Journal notes, demand for Class A office space is lagging because of the persistently soft financial services sector. And moving forward financial services tenants are likely to take smaller blocks of space than 2 million square feet, whuich became de rigeur during the boom. Indeed, according to Colliers International, Manhattan tenants taking over 5,000 square feet leased 5.9 million square feet in the fourth quarter; 6 million square feet in the third quarter; and 6.2 million square feet in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Some brokers are also wondering about what the repercussions might be for lower end buildings throughout Manhattan. If new, speculative developments succeed, it could be at the expense of older, less prestigious buildings (many of which have implemented expensive capital improvement programs and pursued LEED-EB: OM over the past five years). The Journal also makes the important point that the success of leasing efforts at the 2013 towers will have repercussions for other high-profile projects in the pipeline (many of which will also seek LEED certification) like 7 Bryant Park, Albanese's Cook+Fox-designed 510 West 22nd Street and Related's Hudson Yards project on the far West Side.
The cyclical nature of commercial real estate in Manhattan is a cause for concern too. Just as many office buildings built in the 1980s sat empty through the early 1990s, the three 2013 towers will hit a soft market just as many tenants are reconsidering their commercial real estate needs and downsizing when their leases come up for renewal. While the more efficient use of office space is great for the environment, it's not good for developers and landlords looking to fill up their buildings.
Still, Edward Minskoff is optimistic about the LEED Gold-hopeful 51 Astor Place's prospects, telling the Journal that he hopes to have the first tenant (IBM or Microsoft?) signed up in the next few months. "51 Astor Place is in a so much cooler neighborhood [than the World Trade Center] and such a great location," he also told the Journal. "You can't compare the World Trade Center, which is a tall box, to a building that's going to be an iconic building that's going to be recognized as such when it's complete."
The extent to which green attributes play a role in leasing and sales premiums for commercial properties has been a longstanding debate. And much of the evidence one way or another has been purely anecdotal. So consider this article as another in that thread. But it's nevertheless interesting that all of the towers featured in the Wall Street Journal piece – from the World Trade Center and Hudson Yards mega-projects to the boutique trophy 7 Bryant Park, 51 Astor Place, and 510 West 22nd Street – are, or will be, pursuing LEED certification. The increase in LEED-EB: OM applications from older office buildings could be a welcome byproduct of the value that the new construction market continues to see in the LEED label. Still, in considering the prospects for each of the 2013 towers, it's likely that traditional real estate market metrics will drive their success – not third-party certification efforts.

As this issue of THL goes to press, Gov. Tim Pawlenty has appointed Judge Gildea as an Associate Justice of the
Plummer is a small town on
As Judge Lorie Skjerven Gildea recalls, Plummer had no street or stop signs when she was a child. "There are street signs now," she says, "but it will always be home to me. In a town the size of Plummer, everybody did everything, played sports, participated in school plays, joined 4-H, etc. I had a wonderful time growing up in a safe, supportive place, and I know how lucky I was."
From Plummer, Gildea went to college at the University of Minnesota–Morris, where she studied political science and was active in student government and was a drummer in the concert band. Gildea graduated from Morris in 1983 and left
Gildea stayed in
Gildea credits her colleagues and family for helping her to attain these successes in life. "We all have people who inspire us. I have been lucky to be guided by serious and dedicated professionals at every step of my career. These mentors inspire me. I am also inspired by my family. My parents have an amazing work ethic; they are always true to their word and they know the gift of finding pleasure in the simple things in life."
Community involvement has been a hallmark of Gildea's career. She served on the Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines Commission from 2001 to 2004 under Governors Jesse Ventura and Tim Pawlenty. She was a member of the YWCA of Minneapolis Board of Directors. Gildea has also been involved in the bar: "Bar activity is so important," she says. "Lawyers can get overly focused on the culture or specialty of their firm or employer. But when you work with the bar, your horizons broaden as you meet people with different experiences, specialties, and perspectives." Gildea has served on the MSBA's civil litigation section's governing council and on the diversity committee, and she currently serves on the MSBA's council, formerly known as the executive committee, and in the Assembly.
Following her appointment, Judge Gildea was kind enough to provide answers to the following questions posed to her by THL:
THL: What are your general views on what it means to be a judge?
LG: The American judicial system is the envy of the world. I can think of no greater honor than to serve that system in the largest and most diverse county in my home state. The judges in
THL: What is your view on bar involvement?
LG: My first experience with the bar association was serving on The Hennepin Lawyer Committee for the Hennepin County Bar Association, which provides a great opportunity for the writer in all of us to learn about areas of law in which we do not practice. It is very important for all lawyers to make time to serve the profession in some capacity through the bar association. This service provides an opportunity for plaintiff's lawyers and defense counsel, for large-firm lawyers and those in solo practice to come together and work collaboratively in a nonadversarial setting on important matters that are critical to our justice system, such as access to legal services. We all benefit from these interactions and this exposure. It makes us better lawyers and it makes us better people.
THL: Has progress been made in advancing women in the legal profession?
LG: We have seen many changes in our lifetime. The legal profession continues to evolve for women litigators, negotiators, and judges. I was in one of the first
THL: Anything else you'd like the bar membership to know about you, and your expectations in the courtroom?
LG: I hope that the architecture and art of the law will guide trial practice in my courtroom. The architecture of law should help to ensure the fairness of the process, and the art of law generally brings the truth to light. You can't have Perry Mason moments every few weeks, but you can bring articulation and a vision to almost every case. Most importantly, I expect counsel to be on time and to be prepared.
As for me, I am a die-hard Gophers sports fan. When Governor Pawlenty announced my appointment, he joked that my avid support for Gopher women's hockey was a decisive factor in his choice. Away from the courthouse, I am very charitably described as an enthusiastic competitor in the Western equestrian sport of reining.

What are Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs)?
Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs) are blood cancers that occur when the body makes too many white or red blood cells, or platelets. This overproduction of blood cells in the bone marrow can create problems for blood flow and lead to various symptoms. MPNs were called Myeloproliferative Diseases until 2008 when the World Health Organization reclassified them as cancers and renamed them Myeloproliferative Neoplasms.
There are three main types of MPNs:
- Polycythemia vera (PV) [see Tab 2]
- Essential thrombocythemia (ET) [see Tab 3]
- Myelofibrosis (MF)
Certain leukemias, including chronic myelogenous leukemia, are also now considered Myeloproliferative Neoplasms. Although myeloproliferative neoplasms can pose health risks, people with these conditions often live for many years after diagnosis. The choice of treatment and how well it works depends largely on the type of MPN.
Polycythemia Vera (PV)
Polycythemia vera (PV) is a rare type of blood cancer. PV occurs when the body makes too many red blood cells. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen through the body. Too many can cause the blood to become thicker and move more slowly. People with polycythermia vera sometimes have too many white blood cells and platelets as well.
PV is one of three myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).
Risk Factors
The causes of polycythemia are largely unknown. It occurs more often in people over 60, and slightly more often in men. In very rare instances, it runs in families. Most people with this disease have an abnormal change in the JAK2 gene. Other genes may be involved as well.
Signs and Symptoms
The increase in red blood cells can cause the blood to thicken and clot, causing signs and symptoms of polycythemia vera. In early stages, patients have few symptoms. As the disease progresses, the following symptoms may appear:
- Blood clot
- Headache
- Excessive sweating
- Blurred vision or blind spots
- Dizziness
- Itchiness, especially after a warm shower or bath
- Redness or a purplish appearance of skin
- Peptic ulcers
- Bloat or a feeling of fullness due to enlarged spleen
- Congestive heart failure or angina
- Gout/inflammation of joints
Essential Thrombocythemia (ET)
Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a rare type of blood cancer. ET occurs when the body makes too many platelets, the part of the blood needed for clotting. Researchers are still trying to understand the causes of ET. ET is one of three myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). There is no cure for ET but people with the disease often live normal lives.
Risk Factors
The causes of essential thrombocythemia are largely unknown. It occurs more often in people over 50, and slightly more often in women. It is usually not passed down through families. Approximately half of people with this disease have an abnormal change in the JAK2 gene. Other genes may be involved as well.
Signs and Symptoms
Most people with essential thrombocythemia show no signs or symptoms. If signs and symptoms occur, they may include:
- Headache
- Throbbing or burning pain in feet or hands
- Lightheadedness or dizziness
- Enlarged spleen
- Thrombosis (abnormal clotting)
- Bleeding (less common)
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Sweating

"Stones At The Throne" is the latest project from Baltimore MC, ONLY. The official follow up to "The Definition of ONLY", Stones is a force to be reckoned with. ONLY goes hard on each track bringing classical Hip-Hop lyricism and a gritty street life point of view together to bring music that is both traditional and revolutionary. After declaring war on the first track "WWIII", ONLY moves on to tell a story of how the Hip-Hop Culture he once fell in love with is now being misrepresented and that's the reason he does what he does.
"His music is a direct reflection of his environment and upbringing. Descriptive verses, and realistic subject matter are a grand combination in ONLY's effort to "Bring real rap back.""
"His name is ONLY and he's an up and coming MC from Baltimore. He describes himself as "A rappers rapper...and everything in the spectrum of a Emcee" and I couldn't agree more."
"Stones at the Throne...been pumping it in my car. #WOW I cant wait for the album"
"@onlythakid lol already fam... keep goin and keep reppin dat home of da real... and yall support my bruh .. he a dope emcee"
"LISTEN TO Ryan @onlythakid ALBUM TODAY....AND I AM PROUD TO SAY I LOVE IT.....U PUT TOGETHER A GR8 PROJECT, BRAVO."

Viking Oil Play: A High Potential Opportunity
gas takeover opportunities, some regions are coming under increased investor focus than others. While the country hosts some of the world's most impressive energy reserves, one play in particular is gaining a solid reputation among producers.The Viking oil play, located in central Alberta and spread over most of Saskatchewan, has fast become one of the country's most desirable energy-investor hotspots. History and geology This play has an established reputation in that it has produced both oil and gas from conventional reservoirs as far back as 1957. In contrast to the formations that surround it, it is a well-known, low-risk conventional light oil play, second only to the Cardium formation in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin when it comes to original oil in place (OOIP). Investors will also be pleased to hear that at an estimated 4 percent, the Viking play's recovery rate is one of the lowest. Recovery rate refers to the percentage of reserves that have been extracted. The Viking play has been delineated by over 8,000 vertical wells to date and consists primarily of fine- to coarse-grained sandstone located between two marine shales. It is divided into two separate zones — an upper and lower zone. The play's upper zone ranges from 2 to 3 meters thick and, through conventional vertical wells, is the main space where oil was produced in the past. The lower zone is estimated to be 3 to 9 meters thick and was largely uneconomic until the recent advent of horizontal drilling and advanced completion techniques, such as multistage fracturing (fracking). Most of the formation's land has already been locked in by oil and gas majors; however, a select number of juniors have managed to accumulate notable land positions.

This is a membership park. However, people with a RPI card may be allowed to stay for a small fee. We enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly. Our only concern was we had to find places like the pool and how to enter it (gated). We also learned after a grounds keeper spoke to me where a dog run was. A market and gas station are near by. - PaulF

I found it a little confusing, I saw the RV Park, didn't see any signs, certainly not "Holiday Hills 66" but we figured it out you had to go into the store (also had gas pumps) to register. Nothing in the store indicated that you were to register, we asked and the clerk signed up up. The clerk told us to enter the park where the cabin was, ok, we had to find the cabin, found the cabin and landed in our assigned site #22 which was on the "outside loop", so we had shade, grass and the creek was a short distance away. When I saw the layout of the sites, I was not thrilled, they are curved but we managed to stay hooked up. We did not use the restrooms or showers, didn't try the wifi. The clerk told me the water pressure was 110 lbs, so have a water pressure regulator with you. Our site was nice (not level) but the location was one of the best in the park, grass, shade threes and the creek. If you land here, ask for a site on the out side loop with grass & next to the creek. The interior sites were not inviting. We would stay here again. - 10-10
Jul 2015 - $27.00
Where to start, let's go with the good, easy to find right off the highway, friendly check-in gal, close to gas, nice river for fishing, good dog walking area. The bad, the place is a parking nightmare, I've never seen anything like it, the roads and the concrete pads all have a curve to them. Sites are very close to each other, reach out and touch your neighbor close. There is a shower, BUT men's and women's and laundry room are all in one, no door to lock between the men's and women's. (There is a code lock on the door to get into the whole "shower house".) No way would I take a shower in there (lady) anyone could walk in, pretty scary. (Was clean.) This campground is behind gas station and motel and truck parking. Wi-Fi was not strong enough for everyone in the park. AT&T cell worked fine. Campground was pretty full of large rigs running AC. We blew breakers a few times. FYI if you can't drive your rig in tight places and park in tight space, drive down the road, this is no place for a new driver. Would I stay again, if I needed a place to spend the night and in that area, maybe. - laears
Jul 2015 - $25.00
This campground does not have an address per se, so if you are trying to locate it with a GPS, try the Best Western in Coalville. The park is literally next door. In fact, we had to drive around the Best Western building to enter the camp area to get to our site. To say that it is "Big Rig friendly" is just shy of being an exaggeration. We shoehorned our 40' into the site assigned us and managed to keep the wheels on the cracked concrete pad, as they requested. (EVERY pad is cracked and ancient.) The electric pole was leaning pretty good, as someone had obviously backed into it, but our SurgeGuard tested the 30amp as OK. Happily, a rain shower and some breeze blew through and cooled things off, so our lack of a 50 amp site was OK. They allege 110 as their water pressure, so be sure to use a regulator. The campground has some shade trees but we had a good shot at the sky for our satellite. I am getting 3 bars of LTE on my Verizon phone. Is this a "Resort"? Decidedly not. BUT ... the price is reasonable, there is a pretty creek along the back that begs for a fishing pole, it is right off I-80 at exit 162 and fine for a night or two. They sell diesel and propane. Most folks seem to be here just as an overnight, but there are some here for a longer stay. The folks in the office were pleasant and helpful on the phone. Just don't expect amenities! - dqcarol

MINI to unveil John Cooper Works Paceman
MINI has been synonymous with compact hatchbacks that are nimble and easy to drive around town. MINI has evolved as a premium compact car maker, and even has a cult following. So, what happens when a compact car maker makes the first Sports Activity Coupe? It's so successful that MINI has manufactured the John Cooper Works Paceman. Combining sporting flair and inimitable style, the race-bred John Cooper Works Paceman's powertrain and chassis technology are a recipe for smile-inducing agility, and gives it an immediate, show-stealing impact.
Powering this car is a 221PS four-cylinder turbocharged engine that takes to the road with poise and assurance, courtesy its standard ALL4 all-wheel drive system that can be mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox as an alternative to the standard-fitted six-speed manual. Other highlights include reinforced pistons, low-weight crankshafts, an aluminium cylinder block and bearing mounts, and further optimisation of the cooling system, air supply and exhaust gas discharge system. Plus, the turbocharger is twinned with a generously sized intercooler. Peak torque of 280Nm is on tap between 1,900 and 5,000 rpm that can be increased to 300Nm for short periods between 2,100 and 4,500rpm using an 'overboost' function. This opens the door to delightfully spirited acceleration to which the standard-fitted sports exhaust system provides a properly stirring soundtrack. The new car dashes from rest to 100km/h in a trifling 6.9 seconds, regardless of the manual or automatic transmission setup. Top speed stands at 226km/h for the manual version and 224km/h for the automatic.
