Fake is truthfully terrific
May 8 2004
This review is from:
Fakebook (Audio CD)
The immensely talented Skip Heller may not have originally composed these songs, but it doesn't mean he doesn't know how to interpret them. Skip is one of the rare musicians who excels in a variety of musical styles - country, jazz, rockabilly, American classic (in the vein of Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne), to classical Mahler symphonies, but "Fakebook" concentrates on what could loosely be termed jazz - specifically, classics into which Skip and ensemble breathe imaginative and ingenious fresh air. Yet the musical vision on this CD seems to create its own genre which can't be neatly packaged with a single term.
The song, "Chinatown" showcases the incredible talent of Robert Drasnin who solos on the sax, which sings so smoothly and so seemingly effortlessly that you just want to close your eyes and allow the music to breathe for you. In the same vein, "Monk's Mood" is a beautiful and dreamy secret that's whispered in your ear through Skip's guitar.
Fake was recorded after a five-day tour of the Northwest, when the band was at its zenith for creativity and exuberance. The ears clearly concur that the songs do indeed amplify that energy. In fact, two of the songs, "Arriverderci Roma" and "Sometimes It Snows In April" are live performances from that tour.
Each song is executed beautifully with nary a throwaway in the mix. It's difficult to choose a favorite, but my vote must go to Les Baxter's "Sophisticated Savage." It's as if every sweet note helps pave a path to a gorgeous dream from which you never wish to wake. The song is soft and sensual with an occasional very light rumble from the organ, threatening to break up the smooth clouds circling around your light head.
A lot of criticism about music today involves a lack of innovation, aptitude, and simple engagement of the senses. Skip Heller's "Fakebook" is a perfect retort to those accusations and a wonderful promise of what is yet to come from this vivacious and enterprising musician.

All the News That's Fit to Sing (Audio CD)
Phil Ochs experienced a rather tumultuous career, and to the world at large, only after his death has his immense talent been recognized for its rich value. I was completely captivated the very first time I heard this album - all of less than two months ago. The voice wasn't a typically smooth, polished gloss of studio fabrication. There weren't huge orchestrations. But those ingenious words and infectious passion hurled notes from the speakers that insisted on holding my ears hostage.
From the biographies that I've read, Phil Ochs was an extremely ardent man, and these songs are the proof in the pudding. "The Power and Glory" should, if it isn't already, be a staple of American folk music. The beginning guitar riff is simply awesome, like little sparks of magic that cast a spell over the listener. The words that follow are extremely patriotic, which may surprise some since many of the songs are quite anti-government. But that's the message: we don't have to agree with the government to appreciate the power and glory of our land. From the song, "Her power shall rest on the strength of her freedom. Her glory shall rest on us all."
"Talking Vietnam" could be perceived as a folk rap song. Phil's wicked sense of humor and keen political opinions combine to produce a sharp commentary on our then involvement in Vietnam. Even if you don't agree with his politics, it's hard to argue that his words are not marvelously profound. An excerpt:
"Sailing over to Vietnam,
Southeast Asian Birmingham.
Well training is the word we use,
Nice word to have in case we lose.
Training a million Vietnamese
To fight for the wrong government and the American Way."
A few verses later, speaking about then President Diem of South Vietnam:
"He said: 'meet my sister, Madam Nhu
The sweetheart of Dien Bien Phu'
He said: 'Meet my brothers, meet my aunts
With the government that doesn't take a chance.
Families that slay together, stay together.'
Said: 'If you want to stay you'll have to pay
Over a million dollars a day.
But it's worth it all, don't you see?
If you lose the country you'll still have me.
Me and Syngman Rhee, Chiang Kai-shek, Madam Nhu.
Like I said on _Meet the Press_
"I regret that I have but one country to give for my life." ' "
Phil scored music to one of Edgar Allan Poe's most hauntingly beautiful poems, "The Bells," from 1849. The song is a perfect answer to those who claim that Phil was nothing more than a singing journalist. Amazingly, he propels his guitar to mimic bells. No doubt exists that Phil definitely did justice to Poe's spectacular poem. Poe would be impressed.
From the moving tribute to the legendary Woody Guthrie in "Bound for Glory," to the working man's lament in "Automation Song," to the anti-war sentiment in "One More Parade," to the encomium to the US submarine "The Thresher (which tragically sank in 1963, taking the lives of all 129 lives onboard)," and eleven more songs that one biographer says comprise what Phil called a musical newspaper, this is, the first solo album that introduced Phil Ochs to the world outside of the intimate circle of Greenwich Village. It showcased a luminous talent who never received the recognition he deserved. Phil would later branch out as his musical talents grew, but if you're new to the world of Phil Ochs or simply hunger for a slice of nourishing Americana, this is a delicious treat.
Out to Eat Paris

One of the best books for dining in Paris
Feb. 29 2004
This review is from:
Out to Eat Paris (Paperback)
This book is infinitely helpful to pinpoint the perfect restaurant or bar that suits one's needs. The book is organized into arrondissements of Paris. At the beginning of each chapter, the authors list what they consider the best choices for each particular arrondissement.
If you're looking for a particular type of cuisine, one of the back indexes lists the cuisine type and all the restaurants that serve that type of food and of course, a page number where the restaurant can be found.
Another index lists all the restaurants alphabetically to compare them for the features of serving late night, outdoors, any private rooms, serving children, have wheelchair access, and if they're appropriate for business dining.
There are over 40 pages of excellent maps showing the name of the restaurant at its location.
Each individual entry gives the restaurant name, telephone number, address, page of the map where it's shown in the book, which Métro stations are closest, general prices for starter dishes, main courses, desserts, and set menus for lunch and dinner.
What makes this guide unique is that there are also ratings for the general volume of the crowd, so you can choose a quieter place or a more lively place, depending on your desires. Also, what is very valuable to us non-smokers is the restaurant's policy - smoking throughout, nonsmoking tables available, or completely non-smoking. Another fantastic feature is there is a little picture of a carrot next to the restaurants that are vegetarian friendly - a real plus!
Each entry lists the hours of operation (though these can often change, so I'd highly recommend a quick call before you have your heart set on a specific restaurant; also reservations are highly recommended at some restaurants) and a fairly detailed entry telling the specialties of the house and what the authors recommend.
The information in the book is extremely helpful for choosing restaurants and bars, and its organization makes this information easily accessible so you aren't spending time wading through large volumes to find that perfect Parisian experience.

For US$2.00, this packs a wallop
Feb. 29 2004
This review is from:
1001 Most Useful French Words (Paperback)
Most of the book is dictionary style, with French words alphabetized. The entry tells if the word is masculine or feminine and if it's plural. A very brief definition is given, and then the word is used in a French sentence followed by an English translation.
Example: échanger; to exchange; J'aimerais échanger cette robe que j'ai achetée hier. I would like to exchange this dress that I bought yesterday.
Also included is a category section, which lists la famille (the family), les jours de la semaine (days of the week), les mois de la'année (months of the year), les saisons (sesaons), les nombres (numbers), les couleurs (colors), la nourriture (food), les magasins (stores), les occupations (occupations), and les animaux (animals).
At the back is one vocabulary page to help with endings of words, to show some words that are the same both in English and French, and to help with a few other grammatical tips.
This really isn't for someone who doesn't know any French at all, as it could be difficult to follow. It isn't a phrasebook for visitors to France, as a lot of basics that tourists need to know are not included. However, if you have been studying French or need to just brush up on your vocabulary, this inexpensive little book is a smart choice.
French Vegetarian Cooking: A Step-By-Step Guide

A tiny book brimming with delicious recipes
Feb. 29 2004
This review is from:
French Vegetarian Cooking: A Step-By-Step Guide (Hardcover)
This is a small, hardbound book with gorgeous pictures of luscious French vegetarian food. What always helps me when using a new recipe is to see photos of the process and especially the outcome. Not only are the photographs clear, but so are the directions. Some French cookbooks require ingredients that are not easily purchased in the USA; not so with this book. Each recipe has easy-to-follow directions, so even a beginner can cook with this book.
Before the book lists its recipes, there are a few pages on the history of traditional French cooking, nutrition and choosing vegetables, herbs and spices, preparation and cooking techniques, and what items to have stocked in your cupboards.
Some of my personal favorite recipes included here are grated carrot salad with hazelnuts, spinach soufflé, asparagus with lemon butter sauce, green beans with parsley and almonds, and poached cherries.
Some claim that "French" and "vegetarian" don't belong in the same sentence. They most definitely do, and this book is just one of many that proves it. This book would be a good one to buy for oneself, but its attractive cover and design also make it a good option for a gift.

Gross to View, Delicious to Eat!

This review is from:
Gross Goodies (Paperback)
This book is exactly how it sounds �¿ lots of sweet dessert recipes for kids with two caveats: they look and sound gross.
What ten-year-old could resist a treat that looks like and is called �¿Used Bandages�¿?! Ingredients include graham crackers, strawberry fruit roll-ups, large marshmallows, milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar.
Baby�¿s Dirty Diapers will gross out even the most hardened of children most likely to become the next Bugsy Malone: caramel squares and marshmallows. The subtext for this enticing recipe says, �¿Quick and easy, you can push these little stinkers out in no time!�¿
Some of the delicacies included are Diarrhea Delights, Earwax on a Swab, Crusty Booger Balls, Congealed Cat Guts, Bessie�¿s Homemade Cow Pie, Dead Rat Cupcakes, Blood Clot Cake, Chocolate Armpit Hairs, Bloody Nose Soup, Dead Roach Torte Surprise, and many more.
The book is written for a middle elementary school age child. The beginning tells rules for working in the kitchen, glossary of baking terms, and measuring tips. The recipes are actually quite easy to follow.
Although this book was written for children, some of the treats might also be great for a Halloween party for adults. But be forewarned �¿ they�¿re gross!

Beautifully illustrated and photographed
Feb. 29 2004
This review is from:
McGraw-Hill Science: Grade 5 (Hardcover)
The cover of this book is not shown on Amazon, but it contains a red background with a photo of a strikingly handsome green-eyed Siberian tiger. It's nearly one-and-a-half inches thick and inside contains photography worthy of the name National Geographic Society, which contributed to the book.
This is a general science textbook for fifth-graders. It's probably used in many classrooms, though my experience with it is home educating my 10-year-old.
It's very nicely organized, with vocabulary words at the beginning of each chapter. Also included within each chapter are "explore activities" which can easily be done at home or in a classroom. Questions are sprinkled liberally throughout the text to invite discussion on what was read both for refreshing the topic and thinking further about it.
One of the most valuable parts of the book is at the end of a chapter or unit, entitled "Why It Matters." So often kids ask why it's important to learn certain concepts in various subjects, and this ties in the reading with exactly why it is important to understand.
The photographs and illustrations are simply among the best I've seen in any textbook! This is very important for those who may not be particularly interested in science. To make a confession, I'm not. But the information is presented in such an attractive way that it really does make the reader want to investigate more! In each chapter, as well, are technology links where a student can learn more about a subject with a specific internet link.
There is a teacher's manual to go with this book, but at nearly half the cost, we opted not to purchase it. Thus, there are no answers included in this book. But even science-impaired adults like me can easily find the answers simply by reading the text.
Unit A is entitled "Structures of Plants and Animals" with individual chapters on Plants and Their Parts, Plant Diversity, and Animal Diversity.
Unit B is called "Interactions of Living Things" with individual chapters on Ecosystems and Populations and Ecosystems.
Unit C is named "Earth and Its Resources" with chapters on Rocks and Minerals and Air, Water, and Energy.
Unit D is entitled "Weather and Climate" with chapters on Weather and Weather Patterns and Climate.
Unit E is named "Properties of Matter and Energy" with chapters on Properties and Structure of Matter and Forms of Matter and Energy.
Unit F is called "Motion and Energy" with chapters on Newton's Laws of Motion, Sound Energy, and Light Energy."
The back pages also include a Science handbook with such topics as using a microscope, measuring volume, mass, and many other units, using calculators, making graphs, and several more. Also included is a Health handbook with specifics on the skeletal system, respiratory system, digestive system, the senses, and many other systems.
This is an all-around great science book for anyone learning at the fifth-grade level.
The JPS Dictionary of Jewish Words

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great reference for Conservative and Reform Judaism
Feb. 29 2004
This review is from:
The JPS Dictionary of Jewish Words (Paperback)
Orthodoxy and rabbinical scholars almost assuredly will be familiar with most of these terms. The authors freely admit that they compiled the terms from their own upbringings - "modern, American, liberal, matriarchal, and from Conservative and Reform backgrounds." Thus, many of the rituals discussed are from that perspective.
For instance, a minyan is a gathering of ten men, the minimum required for a religious service. In this text in this book, the word "people" is substituted for men, but the bottom of the entry explains that traditionally that number only referred to men.
For those who grew up without a Jewish background or for those whose knowledge of general Jewish vocabulary is lax, this is a wonderfully written book. The words are arranged alphabetically. A dictionary of Jewish words could include potentially hundreds, if not thousands of pages, so the authors narrowed down the scope to include words that one might hear in daily life in the USA. The words are drawn from Hebrew, Aramaic, Yiddish, and Ladino. It would be ideal for non-Jews who simply want to figure out some of the words in conversations that their Jewish friends use!
Since all words have to be transliterated, different spellings with Latin letters are cross-referenced to the entry which tells where the definition will be given. This is invaluable since many words in the USA are spelled a variety of ways, such as Chanukah, Hanukah, Hannukkah, and Hanukkah.
The definitions are clear and concise. Words used in definitions which are bold-faced are also entries in the dictionary.
What many may find especially helpful is the category lists in the back of the book. For instance, there are lists for objects found in a synagogue, for Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, the Jewish calendar, food, Pesach, and many more.
"The Jewish Word Book," by Sidney J. Jacobs, published in 1982, contains more entries. However, I prefer this book by the JPS because the words are explained more in-depth with many examples of words given. Unless one is extremely well-versed in Judaism, this book is very helpful without seeming overwhelming.
All American Ads of the 60's

All American Ads of the 60's (Paperback)
Wow! was my first reaction upon devouring these heavy, nearly one thousand, slick pages of incredibly square, hip, liberal, conservative, and completely cool advertising. Some of the fashions, hairstyles, designs, attitudes, and language that you'll encounter will make you laugh, cry, deeply ponder, and wonder how the world could have changed so much since that era.
The book begins with a couple of pages of commentary by the author explaining the power of advertising and consumer consumption in the 1960s. If someone doesn't read English, then he can read it in 4 other languages - German, French, Spanish, and an Asian language (not Chinese, but possibly Japanese or Korean).
Most of the ads are in color, though a few are in their original black-and-white design. The ads are divided into nine categories, starting with the early part of the decade, progressing to the end. There are approximately 60 pages on alcohol and tobacco, 160 pages on automobiles, 100 on business and industry, 160 pages on consumer products, 50 pages on entertainment, 150 pages on fashion and beauty, 100 pages on food and beverage, 60 pages on furniture and appliances, and 50 pages on the travel industry. Thus, the book is not geared towards men or women or any age group.
Inside, you'll find the one-and-only Groucho Marx declaring, "If you don't serve Smirnoff (vodka)....hide the label!"
For those who think that foreign imports are just little toys, an ad for the 1966 Dodge Dart proclaims, "Join the Dodge Rebellion. Stamp out cramped compacts. Up with man-sized Dodge Dart."
One of the more surprising ads was for Motorola television in 1962. About a dozen nude, smiling people (you can't see private parts) are outside in a meadow, all gathered around a tiny television set displaying the face of a little boy.
In 1965, the Hoover company shows a smiling man in a neat little shirt and tie with thick black glasses and a crewcut surrounded by a mop, dustpan, and other household goods. The ad declares, "Chances are you won't marry a guy who cooks, cleans, irons, scrubs, and sweeps." The next picture shows several vacuum cleaners and other household products and says, "We've thought about that."
"How come all non-conformists look alike?" In 1969, with a picture of a Janis Joplin look-alike, Simplicity states, "Sew your own thing."
"When your TV screen goes black for an hour, you're watching ABC," the company's ad says in 1969. "Because ABC is five major television stations that are the leaders in community-minded broadcasting. Each one, for instance, is currently involved in programming exclusively for black people. On San Francisco's KGO-TV, it's 'Black Dignity,' an hour program every Sunday. Originated and produced by black people. For black people."
To appeal to the teenage mod community, who apparently were threatening to consume mass quantities of diet colas, the sugar industry began telling us that we need more sugar in our lives. In 1966, we see a girl with a slightly thick midriff in a bikini on a surfboard with the caption, "Lisa needs a sugarless, energy-less soft drink like a kangaroo needs a baby buggy. Lisa's strictly the go-go type. After sunning, shopping, afternoon tennis date, and discothèquing into the wee hours, she's up first thing to catch the early morning surf. What keeps Lisa from washing out? Energy...And sugar's got it. That's right, sugar. Everything in it is go. Note to people on the go: Exhaustion may be dangerous. It can even rob you of your resistance to illness. But sugar helps offset exhaustion - puts back energy fast. Synthetic sweeteners put back nothing. So play safe - make sure you get sugar every day. People need what sugar's got.....18 calories per teaspoon....and it's all energy."
That's all I needed to hear. I'm off to energize my life with some Krispy Kreme donuts. For my health, you know.

What Does Being Jewish Mean?: Read-Aloud Responses to Questions Jewish Children Ask About History, Culture and Religion (Paperback)
This book is about basic beliefs of Judaism and is written in a very easy-to-read format -- question and answer paragraphs divided into chapters with similar subject matter.
It's ideal for giving meaningful answers without going into great detail. The complete index in the back allows one to look up a specific subject or question easily. The subject level would be appropriate for middle elementary students and older, yet it isn't written in such a manner that would be awkward for adults to read. This reference book could be quite useful for adults who would like to learn some basic facts of Judaism.
An excerpt:
"153. What is the most important Jewish holiday?"
"Shabbat, because it comes every week, may seem as if it is not that important a holiday, but actually the Torah tells us that it is the most important holiday. It is more important than Passover and other Jewish holidays - even more important than Rosh Hashanah. The only day of the year considered more holy than Shabbat is Yom Kippur, which is considered the Shabbat of Shabbats. Once a year there is even a greater Shabbat than Shabbat and that is Yom Kippur."
Other questions addressed are: Why don't Jews believe in Jesus? Does God have feelings? Do Jews believe in the devil? Why are Jewish males circumcised? Why have the Arabs fought so many wars with Israel? Why don't we kneel when we pray? What is a cantor? Why do some people write "G-d"? What are the Ten Tribes of Israel? Why don't the kind of miracles in the Bible happen today?
Because of the way it's organized, the book is also excellent for sitting down with a child and reading one question at a time and researching the answer further. Very useful Jewish reference!

Aims To apply established methods to identify ADR-related admissions and to determine the proportion which was preventable and which were caused by non-prescription medicines (NPMs). Methods This prospective, observational study screened all acute hospital admissions (n = 1,101) by ward pharmacists over a 2-week period. Suspected ADR-related admissions were reported to the researcher and established criteria were used to evaluate probability, causality and preventability of the ADR-related admissions. Results Of the 1,101 emergency admissions which occurred during the study period, 30 were categorised as ADR-related, equating to a prevalence of 2.7% (95% CI, 1.8–3.7%). Three (9.7%) of the 30 admissions were associated with NPMs. The ADR was the dominant reason for admission in 56.7% (n = 17/30) and only 13.3% (n = 4/30) of all reported admissions were assessed as unavoidable. Conclusion The proportion of ADR-related admissions was lower than in previous studies in the UK. A substantial proportion of ADRs was associated with NPMs, highlighting the need for greater awareness amongst patients, prescribers and other health care professionals regarding possible serious adverse effects caused by these medicines.

The present work aims at studying the effect of gamma radiation on the hard dental tissues. Eighty adult male albino rats with weights of about 250 g were used. The rats were irradiated at 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 Gy whole-body gamma doses. The effects on hard dental tissue samples were investigated after 48 h in histological and ground sections using light microscopy. Areas of acid phosphatase activity were detected using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) stains. Observation of histological sections revealed disturbance in predentin thickness and odontoblastic layer as the irradiation dose increased. In cementum, widened cementocytes lacunae were occasionally detected even with low irradiated doses. On the other hand, relatively homogenous enamel was detected with darkened areas in enamel surface at doses over than 0.5 Gy. TRAP-positive cells were detected on the surface of the dentin of irradiated groups as well as cementum surface. Minimal detectable changes were observed in ground sections.

Additive manufacturing uses three- dimensional printing to transform engineering design files into fully functional and durable objects created from sand, metal and glass. The technology creates products layer by layer – after a layer's particles are bound by heat or chemicals the next layer is added and the binding process is repeated. It enables geometries not previously possible to be manufactured. Full-form parts are made directly from computer-aided design (CAD) data for a variety of industrial, commercial and art applications.

Talk about a dramatic difference.
UConn went from looking sluggish in a 75-71 loss in the first meeting against Houston on Dec. 31 to running away with an 80-43 victory in Thursday's rematch at Gampel Pavilion.
The Huskies (17-4, 5-3) won for the sixth time in the last seven games and posted their largest margin of victory in American Athletic Conference play. They are tied for fourth place with SMU in the standings.
And they did it without starting forward DeAndre Daniels, who's still recovering from a high right ankle sprain suffered in Saturday's win at Rutgers.
"That was a great game by us (and) a team effort," coach Kevin Ollie said.
Here's a post-game breakdown and video:
-- Check out the attached video of senior Shabazz Napier's post-game remarks.
-- Napier led the Huskies in scoring for the team-high 10th time this season. He had 19 points and seven rebounds.
In the last four games, he's averaging 25.5 points per game. He also moved past Jeff Adrien and into 14th place on the school's all-time scoring list with 1,614 points.
A Massachusetts native, he will have his jersey retired during a ceremony at Charlestown High School tonight.
-- UConn never trailed, bolting to a 31-9 advantage. The Huskies had their biggest lead at halftime this season at 51-22 (29).
"We jumped on them from the start and from there they could never get their rhythm," said junior Ryan Boatright.
-- The Huskies continue to make strides in the rebounding department. They won the battle of the boards (55-40) for the sixth time in the last seven games and improved to 11-0 when on the plus side.
In the first meeting, Houston held a 34-30 edge.
Entering Thursday's game, UConn ranked third in rebounding margin in AAC games.
-- UConn dominated under the basket, scoring more points in the paint (32-18) and more second chance points (21-12).
Freshman center Kentan Facey had a career-best game for the Huskies, hitting highs in points (7) and blocks (3) and also adding seven rebounds in 16 minutes. Sophomore forward Phil Nolan added 10 points -- all in the first half -- and seven rebounds.
-- Houston shot exactly 9-for-33 from the field in each half. The Cougars finished at 27.3 percent. Leading scorer TaShawn Thomas had a season-low four points.
"We tried to focus on defense," Nolan said. "Rotation is the key."
-- Senior Niels Giffey played well starting in place of Daniels. He finished with 10 points and six rebounds.
-- Houston coach James Dickey: "This is a great league. If you're not ready to play when you go on the road, you can get blown out."
-- Boatright buried a 3-pointer right before the halftime buzzer and then hit another one to open the second half. He had 15 points overall.
"I wouldn't necessarily call them statement shots," Boatright said. "I was just taking what was there."
-- Up next: UConn will take a few days off before preparing for next Thursday's showdown at league-leading Cincinnati (20-2, 9-0).
Barring a setback, Daniels should be ready to play by next week.

I'm working with pbx for voip calls. One aspect of pbx is that you can choose to receive CDR packages. Those packages have 2 timestamps : "utc" and "local", but both seem to always be the same.
Here's an example of a timestamp : "1268927156".
At first sight, there seems to be no logic in it. So I tried converting it several ways, but with no good result. That value should provide a time around 11am (+1GMT) today.
Things I tried:
- Datetime dt = new Datetime(number);
- Timespan ts = new Timespan(number);
- DateTime utc = new DateTime(number + 504911232000000000, DateTimeKind.Utc)
and some others I can't remember right now.
Am I missing something stupid here?
Thanks in advance

Vt. takes economic temp with new thermometerBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | July 31,2013MONTPELIER A new genuine progress indicator of Vermonts well-being lagged the more traditional gross state product measure of economic activity by more than 40 percent in 2011, a panel of state lawmakers heard Tuesday from economic experts backing the new yardstick.
Experts from the University of Vermont told the Legislatures Government Accountability Committee that the genuine progress indicator should replace gross state product as a guide to economic policy.
The GPI does a much better job of measuring overall economic well-being because it deducts the environmental costs of economic activity from the benefits that are produced, Eric Zencey of UVMs Gund Institute for Ecological Economics said in a statement.
Vermont passed a law in 2012 saying the state should begin using the new measure as it sets economic policy. Tuesdays session featured a report on what the GPI looked like for 2011 the most recent data available and marked what Rep. Anne OBrien called the beginning of the conversation about how the intent of the 2012 law might be carried out.
The meeting also was a primer by Zencey and Jon Erickson, dean of UVMs Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources on how the GPI works.
Environmental degradation, income inequality, productive work or family time lost as people commute to work all are counted by the GPI as net drags on the economy, they said, while things like time spent in volunteerism, even as informal as helping an elderly neighbor with chores, factor in as positives.
Vermont is the only state to have passed legislation calling for GPI to be incorporated into the formulation of policies. Marylands governor signed an executive order instituting a GPI program there, and several other states are studying GPI as a possible policy tool, they said.
The GPI wasnt expected to be an easy sale with everyone. William Sayre, an economist, lumber company part owner, radio talk show host and board member of manufacturers lobby Associated Industries of Vermont, said he would stick with gross state product as the primary economic indicator.
With all of its faults the traditional measure at least uses data that we collect on a regular basis and that is produced by transactions in the market, he said. We have prices for commodities and services that we buy and sell, making them more readily calculated, he said.
Sen. Anthony Pollina of Washington County, a strong supporter of the GPI initiative, said he hoped it would give us a better handle on the impact of our budget decisions.MORE IN Vermont NewsPHILADELPHIA After standing at the podium to second the nomination of Sen.

Is London heading for a dotcom boom?
The internet company TweetDeck, which has been running for just three years, has been bought for £25m.
It is based near Old Street and now that area - known as Silicone Roundabout - is so popular with internet start-ups it is under the global spotlight.
But, as Warren Nettleford reports, it may not automatically result in a new dotcom boom.

Is it safe to add (plug in) or remove (unplug) any device while Windows is in sleep (a.k.a. standby, a.k.a. suspend) mode? What type of devices can be added or removed in this manner? Can you do this with all type of devices like internal PATA/SATA hard drives, PATA/SATA optical disk drives, NIC (network) cards, sound cards, and AGP/PCI-Express video cards, a.k.a. graphics cards? Do they need to support any particular technology like hot plugging?
I know there are hard drives that are specified to support hotplugging. So what would happen if you tried to use a regular hard drive in the same way?
Are there network cards, sound cards, graphics cards, or any other type of PCI-Express cards that explicitly support hotplugging? I have never seen anything like it. It's usually internal hard drives that are designed for RAID arrays that are explicitly specified to support hot plugging.

Eye on crime: Police chief pushes for body cams on officers
S.L. Chief pushes technology as step toward transparency
"And you'd be surprised how many times a person will say, 'Yes, go ahead and search me for narcotics,' and you find dope in their pocket and you get to court later and the question is, 'Well, who in their right mind would ever tell the police it's OK to search?' Well, they actually did. But now you would have documentation of that taking place," he said.
Or it could be used in domestic violence cases where a victim later changes their story in court and no longer wants to press charges. A recording of the initial incident would show a court the emotion, and possibly even the injuries that the officer saw when he or she was first called to the scene.
The cameras could even be used in a simple case of running a stop sign.
"No longer is it the officer's word versus the other driver whether he stopped," the chief said.
In October, Burbank received the endorsement of the Police Civilian Review Board. Each body cam costs about $1,000.
Burbank conceded that some people, even within his own department, worry the cameras are another step toward Big Brother watching over the public's every movement. And he knows there will be times when his officers are recorded in situations unfavorable to the department.
But overall, he believes, the cameras will actually serve to document the good work that his officers do.
"There's no question that when an officer is wearing a camera they're more conscious about what they say, they're more conscious of the interaction. But the other thing that's really unique about this, what better way to document evidence?" he said. "Here's exactly what (suspect or victim) said, what his emotion was, everything that had to do with it. The accountability for that entire process is validated.
"What I think you will find is more often than not, that the officer will want the unit on, because it will capture so many things and be very valuable to the police officer," Burbank said.
In some cases, officers could also use it to review what a witness or suspect told them.
"You have the ability to capture statements that are given spontaneously," he said. "It has nothing to do with an officer trying to be coercive or anything else. It's just accurately capturing an event as it unfolds."
Burbank said his goal is to improve policing as a whole.
"I am always interested in making determinations about officers' actions, about what we did. I'm trying to get the facts as best I can. And what better way to get to the factual event of what actually occurred than to have an audio and video recording?"

Another week went by without a real plan, and I'm not seeing the results that I want.
Sunday: 2.5 mile run + Pilates at Ignite Yoga
Monday: Laura's bitchin' shoulder workout + 30 second cardio bursts between sets + 45 minute walk with Mr. Barney Stinson and Mark
Tuesday: Active rest Hot Vinyasa Flow at Ignite Yoga — not my favorite class. I have a hard time timing things to my breath, and I'm supremely inflexible.
Wednesday: Day 65 of LiveFit
Thursday: Active rest 5K walk over lunch.
Friday: (I have the day off work!) PLAN: Run + Hot Yoga at Ignite Yoga
Saturday: PLAN: Day 66 of LiveFit (early — because I'm going to be selling at Craft Saturday)
I'm all over the place. I need to come up with a concrete plan to achieve my goals.
It's funny, because last year at this time I was kicking ass at the gym. I'd just started LiveFit, and I was basically living in the gym. And I've always been a rock star at the working out part of the equation. However, I wasn't (and really had never been) eating properly. I'd been doing a lot of stress eating while trying to tie up loose ends at my previous job, changing to a new job, and dealing with some personal issues. But now? I have my eating and nutrition under control (thank you, Fitmixer Bootcamp), but I'm totally sucking at the fitness part.
I have to admit that I saw the Turkey Day challenge that Janetha posted about this week, and thought long and hard about participating. It's a great fitness/eating challenge, and the penalty for not following through with it is that you donate money or food to your local food pantry. Brilliant.
But … in the spirit of yesterday's post about not over-committing myself, I'm going to refrain from joining yet another challenge. It would support Operation Pants Fit, but I've already got enough going on to support that goal. Honestly, the hardest part of doing that challenge would be making sure to check back in daily, and committing to blogging about my results.
However, her post did remind me that it's hard to reach a goal without measuring and planning. I didn't really outline a concrete fitness plan for how I was going to fit my butt back into my pants. I just said I was going to do it.
I'm torn between a few major things: Cardio (fat burning), strength training (toning + muscle building), and yoga (stretching + already paid for a 6-month membership). My yoga membership is really putting a wrench in my ideal training plan. I signed up for a 6-month membership to Ignite Yoga when I was injured (I love Ignite — but the classes/class times are not supporting all my fitness goals, unfortunately), and it's costing me $100 per month — so I'd like to go to 10+ classes per month.
Doing cardio and strength training ala boot camp style doesn't work well for me. I've had the greatest weight loss/toning success when I can do 45-60 minutes of good hard cardio and then 45-60 minutes of strength training 5-6 times a week.
As far as yoga goes? I need it so I don't keep getting injured, but the class times don't really work for me. There's a 6 AM (I've signed up and barely shown up), a noon (not enough time with distance from work), a 4 PM, a 5:30 PM (when I would be hitting the gym), and a 7 PM (would add an hour to the 90 minute gym time). I'd like to go 2-3 times a week to get the most out of my membership, but these times don't jive with my schedule. I'd go to a half hour class over the noon hour, and I would be a regular for a 7:30 AM Saturday and Sunday class, but the 7:30 AM class continues to get cancelled, and there isn't a 7:30 AM Sunday class. And after reading my friend Laura's friend's guest post about Yo-Run-Ga yesterday (run to yoga class), I realized I'd love to do that, but I can't because I don't have a mat there (if they would donate a freebie to me so I can run there, my problem would be solved).
My ideal workout schedule is: Yoga over lunch + 45-60 min cardio after work + 45-60 min strength after work (M-F with wildcards on the weekend and one rest day during the week)
My current lack of schedule goals: 5 sessions cardio per week (30-45 minutes) + 3 strength sessions per week (45-60 minutes) + 2-3 yoga classes per week This requires me to combine some things, which I mentioned doesn't work for my fitness goals.
So, I keep waffling. Instead of having a real plan, I have a bunch of options, and at the end of the day I pick something and say "good enough", or fall back on the fact that I'm still recovering from a sprained ankle.
Well, what I'm doing isn't good enough because I'm not seeing any results. I still suck at yoga. I have lost a ton of my strength (I had to use single-digit weights the other day!). And I can't run very far, or do much more than 30 minutes of cardio.
I'm really torn on trying to get the most of my yoga membership, or making the most of my time to workout for my body. Any advice is appreciated.
Have you ever been stuck in this position? How did you overcome it?

It seems like you're putting in a LOT of time working out….and I know this might sound strange, but do you think you might be overdoing it? If your body is too tired (over usage), it will hang on to whatever it needs to. Or, maybe your body is too used to the routine, so that's why you're not seeing results even though you're spending so much time working out? Maybe it needs something different than what you usually do. Also, it can sometimes take a bit of time for the results to begin kicking in….hang in there! You are certainly doing lots of the right things (and you look great too!). happy Friday!
Calee (@chimes) says:
Great thought!
I know it seems like I spend a LOT of time working out, but I really don't. This is a fraction of what I used to do, and I really don't consider yoga a workout on its own. An hour and a half of hot yoga, yes, but the vinyasa flow class is really just guided stretching. And walking really isn't a workout either.
I used to bike to work, walk over lunch, and then do my workout. I'm trying to give my body a break by not doing more than one activity in a day, unless said activity is yoga or walking. I took 10 full days off of working out when I sprained my ankle (all activity, including yoga), and the next several weeks I was only biking lightly for 30 minutes or doing yoga.
I'm taking this morning off though because I realized I haven't had a true rest day this week. So thanks for the comment!
Oh yeah . . . I thought of another suggestion . . . are you drinking LOTS of water? I'm not the best at remembering this myself, but I know it makes a big difference for muscle recovery, flushing of toxins and muscle growth. 🙂
You definitely need to pick a plan. I know that I always do better when my workouts are planned out for me, even if it's just on my calendar as "strength" and I plan out the night before what that means. After my 10k, I'm thinking about starting up LiveFit again for maybe try something new – we'll see. But I'm also fighting that whole over-commit thing myself…Keep at it girl. You've got a great week of workouts up there^.
lindsay says:
glad you are not overcommitting, thats a tough thing to let go of, but so smart! wish i could run to yoga but it's 10 miles away and on a highway. Maybe i could run around the park after?
Alex @ Alex Tries it Out says:
I feel the same way right now. When I was training for my half, I had a solid plan. Now, with nothing significant impending on the calendar, I'm a bit lost. Too many options!
I decided I was going to post about it next week to force myself to make a decision. So we'll see what happens!
Joanna says:
I'm really perplexed that you're not seeing results. You're doing all the right stuff. But I seem to come across blog posts about having the same problem every so often. I think sometimes are bodies are just strange and need a little time. I think you will start seeing the changes you want soon!
Calee (@chimes) says:
I see a lot of blog posts like that too. It's probably because a lot of us are already fit and aren't seeing the changes because it would require a lot of time that we don't have.
I'm trying to lose 5-10 lbs of fat, and I'm not seeing any change at all. I'll give it another few weeks, but I'm 5 weeks in and the scale hasn't budged one bit. My nutrition is actually on for once too.
Aww honey, don't be so hard on yourself! Honestly, I think I get the best results when I don't put so much focus on getting results. If you've got your diet under control, that's the most important. The rest will fall into place.
I understand how you want to try to get the most out of your yoga membership though. It would kill me if I spent that much and didn't use it. And even though it sounds like a long time at the gym, you may really like doing the class after your strength training. I prefer to workout just before my vinyasa classes…I feel like it helps my muscles recover better with all the stretching and breathing. Maybe on those days you could cut down your workout time to 30 minutes cardio and 30 minutes strength so you don't feel like your camping out at the gym all night?
PS, Laura's shoulder workout ROCKS!

Hey girl. To start, give yourself a huge pat on (you're probably amazing back) with your (probably equally amazing arms!) for working out as much as you are. Seriously! I'm in a similar boat right now, wanting to lose some extra pounds, but having problems. I think it has to do with a transition in age (literally, getting older) and my body just changing. Perhaps the same thing is happening for you. It isn't bad, but I agree with others that you shouldn't be so hard on yourself! You look fantastic. Seriously. All said, I understand and wish you the healthiest, best way to your ideal body. 🙂 Love you!
No advice from this lady but I will say….
Hang in there!
Try to be positive!
You are beautiful!
🙂 Happy Monday!!!!! 🙂
Aww … thanks! 🙂 that's the best kind of advice.
[…] The reason I'm not seeing any results is because I'm not enjoying what I'm doing. I'm not enjoying what I'm doing because I don't have a routine (as I discussed last week). […]

Although it could avoid some harmful effects of climate change, sulphate aerosol geoengineering (SAG), or injecting sulphate aerosols into the stratosphere in order to reflect incoming solar radiation, threatens substantial harm to humans and non-humans. I argue that SAG is prima facie ethically problematic from anthropocentric, animal liberationist, and biocentric perspectives. This might be taken to suggest that ethical evaluations of SAG can rely on Bryan Norton's convergence hypothesis, which predicts that anthropocentrists and non-anthropocentrists will agree to implement the same or similar environmental policies. However, there are potential scenarios in which anthropocentrists and non-anthropocentrists would seem to diverge on whether a particular SAG policy ought to be implemented. This suggests that the convergence hypothesis should not be relied on in ethical evaluation of SAG. Instead, ethicists should consider the merits and deficiencies of both non-anthropocentric perspectives and the ethical evaluations of SAG such perspectives afford.

"In this groundbreaking book, award-winning investigative journalist Seymour M. Hersh shows us a John F. Kennedy we have never seen before, a man insulated from the normal consequences of behavior long before he entered the White House. His father, Joe, set the pattern with an arrogance and cunning that have never been fully appreciated: Kennedys could do exactly what they wanted, and could evade any charge brought against them. Kennedys wrote their own moral code." "And Kennedys trusted only Kennedys. Jack appointed his brother Bobby keeper of the secrets - the family debt to organized crime, the real state of Jack's health, the sources of his election victories, the plots to murder foreign leaders, and the president's intentions in Vietnam." "The brothers prided themselves on another trait inherited from their father - a voracious appetite for women - and indulged it with a daily abandon deeply disturbing to the Secret Service agents who witnessed it. These men speak for the first time about their amazement at what they saw and the powerlessness they felt to protect the leader of their country."--Jacket.

My hope is to create a widget (and get the shortcode for a widget) that would display ONLY links the pages in a specific category. When I try it, it doesn't work, but I imagine it's because WP is looking among the posts to find the categories I've assigned to pages only. Is there a workaround?

Local community knowledge, perceptions, and experiences of malaria prevention in the highlands of Papua New Guinea
Bang, Kolly Tongamp
View fulltext online
Permanent link to Research Bank record:http://hdl.handle.net/10652/1863
Background Malaria is becoming common and causing seasonal epidemics in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea (Mueller et al., 2005). Malaria is mainly affecting the health of the local population who live in bush huts. The Highland's local people's knowledge, perception and practical measures to prevent malaria were explored in this study. Objective This study was aimed at identifying knowledge gaps and other possible environmental impediments that may influence effective participation of the local people. Method Interpretive description (a qualitative approach) was used for this study. Data was collected through focus groups (x4) and individual interviews (x4). Results There were seven main themes that emerged from this study. Theme One revealed the locals' knowledge gaps and misconceptions of malaria. Theme Two indicated climate change as a trigger for malaria increase in the Highlands. Theme Three revealed locals' experiences of current malaria prevention and control strategies. Theme Four emerged as alternative malaria treatment. Theme Five revealed some problems faced by locals with the health care system. Theme Six showed locals' perception of socio-economic disempowerment, and Theme Seven related to locals' behavioural factors contributing to malaria. Conclusion This study identified Highlands's local's knowledge gaps answering the original focus of study. The knowledge gaps indicated essential components for primary health care functions as needing attention, PHC workers in rural areas increased, and health planners to implement suitable approaches with local involvement to build locals' knowledge capacity for malaria prevention and control.

Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Compared to small molecule drugs, biologics have more complex structures and often cannot be fully characterized. Thus, quality determination of and quality control for biologic drugs often require the application of multiple analytical approaches including physicochemical methods, assays that measure for potency, or some combination thereof. Highly-characterized reference standards—biologic materials—that specifically address quality-related testing needs of the biopharmaceutical community could help here. These include standards for individual product assays; procedural standards for method development, qualification, and validation; standards for ancillary and process materials; and more.
Reference standards can be utilized in different ways by manufacturers and can help supply solutions that support discovery, regulatory compliance, and process efficiency.

Sandwich bar and café chain Benugo have taken over the ground floor of the British Film Institute headquarters in Fitzrovia and turned an awkward concrete space into an appealing brasserie. The front now opens up onto the street; at the rear, an outdoor terrace has been added, popular with workers catching a glimpse of sunshine. The menu crosses continents in a suitably metropolitan way: pizza, pork belly, flatbreads, sea bass with salsa verde. Sitting at the counter of the open kitchen we watched the care taken with the assembly of even the simplest of dishes: a house chopped salad with avocado, pecans, bacon and blue cheese dressing. Both this and a tart of the day (lemon) were well made and presented, but slightly dearer than you might expect for a chain restaurant in a slightly so-what location. But for the many film and media people who use this building for meetings, its arrival is like manna from heaven.

Dental Insurance – Wisconsin
Get Free Quotes on Wisconsin Dental Insurance
Don't buy dental insurance without doing your research. DentalInsurance.com allows you to compare Wisconsin dental insurance plans side by side by offering free quotes based on your zip code. You can get started by typing in your zip code above, but make sure you understand the difference between each type of plan.
Types of Dental Insurance Plans Available in Wisconsin
There are five major types of dental insurance plans available in Wisconsin. Each type of plan has its pros and cons. Some plans may be less expensive, but provide limitations on coverage and payment options. Understanding the differences between plan types is the first step toward picking a plan that's right for you and your family. The plans available in Wisconsin include:
Discount Plans
Discount plans provide subscribers with a discount card that enables them to receive dental care at a discounted rate from participating dentists. These plans are popular among those who feel dissatisfied with their current coverage. Discounted rates vary by plan and provider, and many dentists require that the discounted rate be paid in full at the time of service. If you're shopping for a discount dental plan, make sure you understand the difference between the available providers and their plans, and also check with your local dentist to see what their payment policy for discount plans includes. Discount plan providers in Wisconsin include Patriot Health Inc. , Careington International , and Aetna Dental .
PPOs (Preferred Provider Organizations)
PPOs (Preferred Provider Organization) operate through a network of dentists who have agreed to provide their services to subscribers of the PPO at a discounted rate. This allows the provider to guarantee a maximum cost of service for its subscribers. PPOs also cover services from dentists outside the network, but this can be significantly more expensive. Be sure to check which dentists in your area are covered by the PPO. PPO providers in Wisconsin include HumanaOne and Nationwide .
Fee Schedule Plan
Fee Schedule Plans plans cover a certain percentage or dollar amount for each service based on a UCR (Usual, Customary, Reasonable) fee, which is essentially the average cost of service among participating dentists in the area. The amount each plan covers for each service is listed in the providers "fee schedule." These plans typically charge lower premiums than PPO & indemnity plans, but they also have calendar-year maximums, and may require waiting periods for certain procedures. Some fee-schedule plans may also work with a preferred network like a PPO plan. Check to see what restrictions each plan has, and how often providers update their fee schedule. Fee schedule plan providers in Wisconsin include Security Life Insurance Company Of America.
Indemnity Plans
Indemnity plans cover a percentage of the cost of specific procedures, which is also listed in the company's "fee schedule." They are also known as "fee-for-service" or "traditional" insurance plans. Indemnity plans offer the most freedom in terms of choosing your preferred dentist since they cover services from any dentist. They may require deductibles and waiting periods, and they may lead to higher out-of-pocket payments, since reimbursements are made after receiving the bill. Indemnity plan providers in Wisconsin include American National , Security Life Insurance Company Of America, and Encore Dental.
