Marine Toxins
Topic Overview
What are marine toxins?
Marine toxins are chemicals and bacteria that can contaminate certain types of seafood. Eating the seafood may result in food poisoning. The seafood may look, smell, and taste normal. There are five common types of marine toxins, and they all cause different symptoms.
Food poisoning through marine toxins is rare. Marine toxin poisoning occurs most often in the summer.
How is marine toxin poisoning diagnosed and treated?
Your doctor will do a medical history and a physical exam and ask you questions about your symptoms and any fish you have recently eaten. Laboratory testing is typically not needed.
There are no specific treatments for marine toxin poisoning. Treatment generally consists of managing complications and being supportive until the illness passes. Dehydration caused by diarrhea and vomiting is the most common complication.
To prevent dehydration, take frequent sips of a rehydration drink (such as Pedialyte). Try to drink a cup of water or rehydration drink for each large, loose stool you have. Soda and fruit juices have too much sugar and not enough of the important electrolytes that are lost during diarrhea, and they should not be used to rehydrate.
Try to stay with your normal diet as much as possible. Eating your usual diet will help you to get enough nutrition. Doctors believe that eating a normal diet will also help you feel better faster. But try to avoid foods that are high in fat and sugar. Also avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and coffee for 2 days after all symptoms have disappeared.
How can I prevent marine toxin poisoning?
Always keep seafood refrigerated or on ice. If you have a weak immune system, you should consider not eating raw seafood.
To help avoid marine toxins:
- Do not eat barracuda, especially if it is from the Caribbean Sea.
- Refrigerate fresh tuna, mackerel, grouper and mahimahi. Remember that cooking does not destroy the toxins in spoiled or toxic seafood.
- Check with health officials about local advisories on algae blooms, dinoflagellate growth, or red tide.
- Do not eat fish or shellfish sold as bait. These products do not have to meet the same standards as seafood for eating.

Diabetes Health Center
FDA Urged to Toughen Diabetes Drug Tests
July 3, 2008 -- Drug companies should be required to conduct stricter safety tests before marketing new diabetes drugs, expert advisors tell the FDA.
An expert committee has urged the agency to require companies to screen diabetes drugs for heart attack risk before they can be approved, or to require longer safety testing after the drugs are on the market.
Diabetes Videos
Slideshows & Tools
The move comes after Avandia, a drug for type 2 diabetes, has come under scrutiny because of evidence it may raise heart attack risks by as much as 40%.
"We heard they wanted us to have greater certainty and assurance before approval about the cardiovascular effects of the drugs, and that they wanted us to ensure that the question was ultimately answered either before approval or after approval," says John Jenkins, who directs the FDA's Office of New Drugs. "It's a higher level of understanding and a higher level of assurance that you've excluded unacceptable cardiovascular risk."
The FDA put new warnings on Avandia last year. It was allowed to stay on the U.S. market despite calls -- including from some FDA officials -- that it be pulled from sales.
The experts' recommendations only apply to new type 2 diabetes drugs. Agency officials say they will have to decide whether to require longer safety studies before approval, more detailed follow-up trials once drugs are on the market, or both.
"It really will ultimately require us to look at each individual drug," says Mary H. Parks, MD, director of the FDA's Division of Metabolism and Endocrinology Products.
All drugs have risks. But FDA officials have not yet determined what would qualify as an "unacceptable risk" for diabetes drugs.
As many as 24 million Americans suffer from type 2 diabetes; it's a leading cause of death and disability.
Jenkins says some heart risk could be deemed acceptable if a drug is shown to be highly beneficial. Drugs with only "marginal" benefit likely won't be allowed on the market if testing shows they raise cardiovascular risks, he says.

Seven out of 10 drivers believe that a 20mph limit is necessary on residential streets, near schools and town centre areas. That's according to a study by road safety charity, Brake, and Allianz Insurance.
However, the AA believes residents need to be consulted before measures are implemented. "We are emphasising the consultation process. Residents should be consulted before the speed limits are put in place", an AA spokesman said.
• Speed limit increase makes roads safer
There is already a strong precedent for lower speed limits, given that Islington, in North London already operates a borough wide 20mph limit and Camden, another North London borough, is currently in the implementation phase. Recently released statistics also show a 54 per cent decline in collisions in Camden's 20mph zones.
In the same Brake survey, 72 per cent people said roads in their towns and villages need to be made safer for walking and cycling, while 81 per cent believed that traffic travels too fast on their local roads.
• Drivers opting for Speed Awareness Course over points
The charity is now calling for national government support in introducing these measures, with proposals set to go to Parliament.
But the issue isn't clear-cut. The AA points out that 75 per cent of the people surveyed said that 20mph limits should not be in place on roads where there are no houses, schools and shops. Meanwhile, 8 per cent wanted speed information displays (flashing speed warning signs), which may point to a belief that it's harder to comply with 20mph limit.

Radio ID Tags For US Drugs
Medical Authors and Editors: Barbara K. Hecht, Ph.D. and Frederick Hecht, M.D.
November 15, 2004 -- The Food and Drug Administration and major drug makers are expected to announce today that they will put tiny radio antennas on the labels of millions of medicine bottles to combat counterfeiting, according to Gardiner Harris writing in The New York Times today. The tagged medicine bottles will, at first, be only the large ones from which druggists get the pills to fill prescriptions but experts do not expect the technology to stop there.
The FDA has repeatedly reported that there has been an increase in drug counterfeiting over the past several years. Counterfeit drugs can harm consumers. And they clearly cut into the profits of drug companies.
RFID Tags
An RFID tag is a device for remotely storing and retrieving data. The tag may be a little sticker that can be attached to a medicine bottle (or airplane). The tag contains an antenna that enables it to receive and respond to a radiofrequency "query" from an RFID device called a transceiver.

[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/044,076 on Apr. 11, 2008, herein incorporated by reference.
[0002]The present invention relates generally to a basic insulating plug (BIP) for connection to a deadbreak connector. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing such a basic insulating plug.
[0003]Connections in underground power distribution systems, such as between cables and transformers, are generally accomplished with specifically designed separable male and female electrical connectors. One type of such connector is a deadbreak connector which has a generally T-shaped configuration having a cable terminated to the main portion of the T configuration and having connection capability to one of the two branches of the T configuration.
[0004]Quite often, it is desirable to perform ancillary functions on the connector and
[0005]cable system without having to de-energize the system. Such functions include active voltage sensing for certain control and voltage surge arresting for lightening protection. In such situations, an interface is provided to allow electrical access to the system. Such interface is typically provided at the opposite one of the branches of the T configuration.
[0006]In order to close the interface when the ancillary functions are not being performed, a basic insulating plug (BIP) is employed. The plug is a separable connector component which is insertable into the interface of the existing deadbreak connector. The plug provides a dead-end which terminates the access point preventing direct access to the conductor.
[0007]Typical plugs of this type include an insulative body having at one end an electrically conductive internally threaded insert for attachment to the threaded stud in the interface of the deadbreak connector. The insulative body also supports a top hex shaped insert which allows the plug to be connected in the deadbreak interface and torqued to a specified value.
[0008]While these plugs serve adequately for their intended purpose, manufacturing such plugs is time consuming and costly and limits manufacturing capacity and multiple operation, inasmuch as the body is typically formed from an epoxy material having a long curing time.
[0009]It is desirable to provide a more efficient manufacturing process and resulting plug structure.
[0010]The present invention provides a basic insulating plug for closing an electrical interface in a deadbreak connector. This plug includes a first conductive insert and a second conductive insert. An insulative coupling supports the inserts in spaced apart relationship. An insulative body is molded substantially around the coupling and the first and second conductive inserts. One of the conductive inserts and insulative coupling defines a flow path to permit flow of an insulative material, entering one of the conductive inserts, through the coupling so as to surround the coupling and substantially surround the first and second conductive inserts to thereby form the elastomeric body therearound.
[0011]In a method aspect of the present invention, a method of forming a basic insulating plug is provided. The method includes providing a first conductive insert having a flow path therethrough. A second conductive insert is also provided. An annular coupling is provided having a sidewall and opposed open ends where the sidewall includes at least one opening therethrough. The first and second conductive inserts are attached to the open ends of the coupling so as to establish a flow path from the first conductive insert through the coupling. The annular coupling with the conductive inserts attached thereto is placed in a mold. An insulative material is injected into the first conductive insert and through the flow path to fill the mold about the coupling and the conductive inserts.
[0012]FIGS. 1 and 2 are side and top plan views, respectively, of the basic insulating plug of the present invention.
[0013]FIGS. 3 and 4 are vertical cross sections of the plug of FIGS. 1 and 2 taken through the lines 3-3 and 4-4, respectively, of FIG. 2.
[0014]FIG. 5 is a plan view of a subassembly of conductive inserts and an insulative coupling of the plug of FIG. 1.
[0015]FIG. 6 is a vertical sectional showing of the subassembly of FIG. 5.
[0016]FIG. 7 shows, in section, the subassembly of FIG. 5 supported within a mold for forming an insulative body thereabout.
[0017]The present invention provides a basic insulating plug or BIP (hereinafter "plug") for use in combination with a deadbreak connector (not shown). Referring to FIGS. 1-4, plug 10 of the present invention includes an insulative body 12, a first conductive insert 14, a second conductive insert 16, and insulative coupling 18 supporting inserts 14 and 16 in spaced apart relationship within body 12.
[0018]Body 12 is designed for insertion into an interface in a deadbreak connector. As is well known in the art, the interface of the deadbreak connector may be used to perform ancillary functions on the connector and cable of the system without having to de-energize the system. Thus, the particular shape of the body 12 is designed to provide sealed engagement with the interface of the deadbreak connector.
[0019]Body 12 has opposed ends 20 and 22 and a generally tapered elongate extent 24 which is designed for coupling to the deadbreak interface.
[0020]Body 12 is formed of an insulating material such as, for example, a molded elastomer which is a rapidly curing rubber-like material which, as will be described hereinbelow, provides manufacturing expediencies. In many existing plugs, the body is formed from a solid block of epoxy which has an extended curing time. This greatly increases the cost of manufacturing the plug.
[0021]Supported within body 12 is a connection subassembly 30, shown additionally in FIGS. 5 and 6. Subassembly 30 includes first conductive insert 14, second conductive insert 16 and an insulative coupling 18 supporting the conductive inserts 14 and 16 in spaced apart relationship.
[0022]Conductive insert 14 is generally of conventional construction having a hex head 14a and an elongate hex body 14b. As particularly shown in FIG. 6, conductive insert 14 is generally a hollow member having a passageway 15 extending therethrough. Conductive insert 14 also includes am opening 17 formed through the lower end 17a thereof which is in flow communication with passageway 15. The conductive insert 14 is formed of an electrically conductive high strength material such as copper or aluminum.
[0023]Conductive insert 16, which may also be formed of a high strength conductive material such as copper or aluminum, includes an upper portion 16a and a lower portion 16b having an elongate internally threaded aperture 19 therein. Threaded aperture 19 is conventional in construction and allows the plug 10 to be threadably attached to the interface of the deadbreak connector.
[0024]Coupling 18 serves to support inserts 14 and 16 in spaced apart relationship in subassembly 30. Coupling 18 is generally a tubular member including an annular sidewall 35 defining opposed open ends 32 and 34. Coupling 18 further defines an interior cavity 36 and generally a plurality of openings 38 through the sidewall 35 thereof. The coupling 18, which is formed of a suitable insulative material in order to electrically isolate inserts 14 and 16, supports the inserts at the opposed open ends 32 and 34 in spaced apart relationship. Moreover, the coupling 18 supports the inserts 14 and 16 in a manner such that the torque applied to the first conductive insert 14 is directly transmitted to the second conductive insert 16. The arrangement of the inserts and the coupling, particularly as shown in FIG. 6, defines a space within the interior cavity 36 between inserts 14 and 16.
[0025]The configuration of coupling 18, including the interior cavity 36 and openings 38 together with the passageway 15 and opening 17 of insert 14, define a flow passage through coupling 14 and out through openings 38 of sidewall 35 of coupling 18. As will be described in detail hereinbelow, this flow path allows body 12 to be molded about subassembly 30.
[0026]Referring now to FIG. 7, the formation of plug 10 of the present invention may now be described. The subassembly 30, including coupling 18 and inserts 14 and 16 shown as arranged in FIGS. 5 and 6, is placed in a mold 50 of a conventional injection molding machine (not shown). The mold 50 includes mold components which define a mold cavity 51 having the shape and configuration necessary to form body 12 about subassembly 30. The mold components include an upper mold component 52 and lower mold components 53 and 55. The upper mold component 52 includes an injection port 54 which is in communication with passageway 15 of insert 14. The injection port 54 is used to inject the insulative material into cavity 51 using the flow path established through subassembly 30.
[0027]As shown by the arrows in FIG. 7, the insulative material may be injected
[0028]through port 54 to extend through passageway 15 and out through opening 17 of insert 14. Thereafter, the injected insulative material fills cavity 36 and exits through openings 38 of sidewall 35 to fill the mold cavity 51 forming body 12. As the insulative material used to form body 12 may be a quick curing rubber-like elastomer, the cycle time for forming plug 10 is greatly reduced. This increases the efficiency of the manufacturing process and decreases the manufactured cost of the plug.
[0029]While the invention has been described in related to the preferred embodiments with several examples, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made without deviating from the fundamental nature and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

DEET Insect Repellent
DEET (N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide) was developed by the US military for their troops during the 1940s and because of its effectiveness it has been in commercial use since 1957. Despite 40 years of testing more than 20,000 other compounds since its development, DEET remains the most-effective and broad-spectrum repellent with the highest level of protection from mosquitoes, ticks and other biting insects.
Beyond a certain level, around 30%, DEET gradually ceases to lengthen the effectiveness of a repellent. At the same time, many people find the smell of high-level DEET products unpleasant.
However, 3M™ Ultrathon™ Insect Repellent utilises 3M Advanced Time Release Technology. This ensures that while the percentage level of the active ingredient remains in the range 25-34%, its unique composition allows DEET to be released over a longer period of time, so increasing its effectiveness.
It's important to use a DEET based product for travel to areas with a risk of diseases such as malaria since this provides the best protection against being bitten. The Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) recommends repellent containing DEET as being "particularly effective".
To view a map of the risk areas for malaria please click here. (External Site, opens in a new window: CDC Malaria Map)
Where there is little or no risk of contracting life-threatening diseases through insect bites, such as travelling in the UK, while chemical based repellents aren't necessary a DEET based product remains the most effective measure in avoiding the irritation of being bitten.

Director: B. Skow
Company: Vivid Entertainment Group
DVD Extras: Bonus Scenes, Fetish Menus, Still Gallery(ies), Trailer(s)
Cast: Alex Gonz, Meggan Mallone, Steve Holmes (I), James Deen, Amia Miley, Mick Blue, Jerry (I), Misty Stone, Kristina Rose
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
You know those totally sexy videos you see on your favorite "tube" site, where it's just a girl in her room, and she does a totally hot, uninhibited little tease for a camera she set up on a desk a few feet away? Well, put that same idea in the hands of B. Skow and the Vivid hotties, and you get all that tease, but a good, hard fuck at the end!
Looking for something unique in the gonzo world, Make Me Cum adds one new element. Before each girl gets ravaged (and they do, as all five sex scenes here are heated), she is asked to perform her own teasing, short sexy video that's put to music and given a silly title. Then they proceed to get fucked silly.
Meggan Mallone does two videos and her sex scenes are tremendous, especially the one with James Deen. The ever-hot Kristina Rose shows Mick Blue how she loves to eat cum, and the sequences with little newcomer Amia Miley (credited as Amea Moretti) and sultry Misty Stone also get high grades. B. Skow seems fascinated by Miley's hard ass, and she likes telling the story about shaving her pussy.

During the installation of the All in One SEO Pack, I got this message.
"The plugin generated 152 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice 'headers already sent' messages, problems with syndication feeds, or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin."
Now on the screen where I edit pages, the modules on the right side overlap the modules where I need to edit text. Actually, the field where I edit text seems to have expanded under the modules on the right side. This makes it very difficult to work with these modules.
I deactivated the plug-in, and when this had no effect, I deleted it. But the problem still exists. Can you tell me what would be involved in diagnosing this problem?

Spencer and his family are expecting a visit from Great-Aunt Alice and her dog, Susan. All Spencer knows is that she's dignified and graceful, with long, beautiful hair — the dog, that is. Spencer and his own pup, Barney, are excited to have another dog to play with and decide to give her a chance. But it soon becomes clear that Susan is no regular dog. She eats cake off a china plate, takes scheduled naps, and needs an umbrella held over her in the rain.
Spencer and Barney decide to teach Susan how to be a real dog. With Barney as a role model, they take her to the off-leash dog park to develop skills like barking at buses, cyclists and squirrels, eating garbage, resisting grooming, and refusing to come when she's called. Susan returns from the park covered in burrs, having shed her dignity and grace enough to fully embrace her inner dog. Mixed-media illustrations support the humorous text in this story about embracing who you are.

The cheetah bounds. The gazelle leaps. The African elephant snaps its ears. The gorilla munches the leaves off a branch. Mesmerizing!

It's the romance of being on safari - and the almost visceral thrill of seeing the animals in motion - in a book unlike any other.

Knocking Wood Could Help Avoid Trouble
Superstitious gestures like knocking on wood and throwing salt might actually help people avoid what they dread, according to researchers at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business. Host Scott Simon explains.
Knocking wood - sheer superstition, right? That doesn't mean that it doesn't work, kind of, sort of, maybe. Researchers at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business have found that knocking wood, spilling salt, and other old medieval gestures might actually help people expel some of the fear they have that they've done or said something that could invite bad luck. Dispelling that stress might help them avoid what they dread. Or as Jane Risen, Ph.D., one of the researchers, wrote in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, quote, "We find that avoidant actions that exert force away from one's representation of self are especially effective for reducing the anticipated negative consequences following a jinx." Perhaps it wasn't necessary to say Ph.D. Now, one theory holds that knocking wood began in the Middle Ages when people went into the forests and knocked on trees to keep evil spirits from hearing private conversations. Of course, this is before the NSA started tapping leaves. Break a leg.

Ice Screamers
I scream, you scream,
We all scream for Ice Cream.
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Tuesdays, Mondays
We all scream for Sundaes.
� from the popular song "(I Scream You Scream We All Scream for) Ice Cream" by Howard Johnson, Billy Moll, and Robert Kin, 1927
Do you scream for ice cream?
If you're like most Americans, you do.
Ice cream is our nation's favorite dessert. We love to sip it in sodas, slurp it in shakes, plop it on cones, nibble it on sticks, and drown it in chocolate syrup Monday through Sundae. We might even eat pizza à la mode, if we could.
And then we'd ask for seconds!
According to the International Ice Cream Association (IICA), the United States makes over 1.5 billion gallons of ice cream a year'enough for every man, woman, and child in America to eat twenty-three quarts.
That equals 184 single-scoop cones: one a day for each of us for almost six months.
A whopping 90% of American families scream for ice cream. Kids between the ages of two and twelve are the biggest screamers, eating more than half of the ice cream sandwiches, bars, and prepackaged cones manufactured each year.
A dish of this sweet, smooth, cold-enough-to-make-your-teeth-hurt dessert has long been recognized as an American tradition. In fact, in 1921 the Commissioner of Ellis Island issued a delicious decree: all immigrants arriving in this country would receive a free scoop of ice cream with their first American meal.
Today we celebrate National Ice Cream Month and National Ice Cream Day in July. Wecrank out about five hundred new ice cream products every year. We produce and eat more ice cream annually than any country in the world . . . enough to fill the Grand Canyon. So you might be surprised to learn that at one time, only presidents and kings ate this frosty treat . . . and that ice cream's tasty origins date back more than two thousand years.
So read on to get the scoop, the whole scoop, and nothing but the scoop about this eleven-billion-dollar industry . . .
. . . and why everyone the world over loves to scream for ice cream.
Stick Out Your Tongue and Say . . . Yum!
Have you ever noticed how delicious a plain glass of cold water, with a tinkling ice cube or two, tastes on a simmering summer afternoon?
Centuries before refrigerators were invented, human beings thirsted for chilled food and drink.
"It is dangerous to heat, cool or make a commotion all of a sudden in the body," warned the Greek doctor Hippocrates (460?�377? b.c.). But few citizens paid attention to the Father of Medicine. "Most men would rather run the hazard of their lives or health," he went on, "than be deprived of the pleasure of drinking out of ice."
Alexander the Great (356�323 b.c.), the King of Macedonia, was one such man. Tales are told of his quest to rule the world'and his passion for iced drinks. Once, during an attack on the city of Petra, Alexander ordered his army to stop the battle and dig thirty trenches, then fill them with snow brought down from the mountains. Branches were laid across the trenches to keep the snow from melting so Alexander's wines, fruits, and juices would stay cold in the hot Jordanian sun.
Roman emperor Nero Claudius Caesar Drusus Germanicus (a.d. 37�68) had a love for iced drinks and desserts that was as great as his name was long. During his cruel reign as emperor of Rome (a.d. 54�68), Nero often hosted tremendous feasts featuring wines cooled with snow and slushy honey-sweetened juices'the world's first Snow-cone!
Plans for these delicacies had to be made at least a month in advance. Nero would order slaves into the Apennine Mountains to gather snow. The weary servants were then forced to run a brutal relay race back to Rome, carting heavy loads of snow and ice through heat and many miles of treacherous terrain. The barbaric Nero, who thought nothing of killing his mother, his wife, and his teacher, once slaughtered the general in command for allowing the snow to melt before reaching the emperor's table. The slaves were boiled to death.
In this case, Hippocrates was right: frozen foods and drink could be hazardous to your health!
Got Milk?
As far back as five thousand years ago, the ancient Greeks and Eygptians milked goats, cows, and sheep. But foods made from milk, such as cheese and yogurt, did not become common until around 600 b.c. Iced dairy products made from the milk of horse, buffalo, yak, camel, cow, and goat first appeared a thousand years later during the T'ang Dynasty in China (a.d. 618-907).
The T'ang Dynasty is known among historians of the Orient as a Golden Age of learning. Great works of poetry, literature, art, and music flourished in China at this time. Great foods must have flourished also. Emperor T'ang of Shang, founder of the dynasty, had 2,271 people on his palace cooking staff, including 94 "ice men" or ice harvesters.
Since the eighth century b.c., the Chinese had known how to harvest winter ice, storing it and keeping it cold until summer in specially designed icehouses. During the T'ang period, the ice was used for a variety of purposes, including the preparation of a frozen iced-milk product called kumiss.
During the hot, humid months, emperor T'ang relished eating kumiss. To make it, his chefs and ice men worked together. First, they heated or boiled the milk and fermented it. Next it was mixed with rice or flour, then combined with "dragon's eyeball powder" and "dragon's brain fragments." These last two ingredients are better known today as camphor, a chemical taken from the wood of an evergreen tree.
The kumiss was then chilled with ice until almost frozen. The result was a cool, refreshing dish'a distant cousin to the sherbet we eat today.

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:42 PM GMT on July 08, 2006
The tropical Atlantic has gone very quiet this weekend, and I can't see any disturbances worth discussing, not even in the model forecasts for the coming week. In particular, wind shear is expected to remain quite high through at least Tuesday over the Gulf of Mexico--the place we most commonly get July tropical storms.
New Katrina book
There are several books out on Katrina now, and I am reading one I highly recommend to anyone interested in the disaster:
The Storm: What went wrong and why during Hurricane Katrina--the inside story from one Louisiana scientist.
The author, Dr. Ivor van Heerden, is cofounder and deputy directory of the Louisiana State University Hurricane Center and director of the Center for the Study of Public Health Impacts of Hurricanes. He holds a Ph.D. in marine sciences from LSU, and serves as associate professor of civil and
environmental engineering there. Van Heerden had a very unique perspective of Katrina. He worked tirelessly in the decade leading up to the storm to improve our scientific understanding of how Louisiana's wetlands protect New Orleans from hurricanes. He also worked extensively with FEMA, the Army Corps of Engineers, and political figures at the local, state, and U.S. Congressional levels to try to improve New Orleans' disaster readiness. In the aftermath of the storm, he provided support for the search and rescue efforts and plugging of the levee breaches, then headed one of the teams assigned to figure out what caused the levees to fail.
The New York Times has a review of the book for those interested, and I'll be posting my own review sometime during the coming week.
Enjoy another quiet weekend in the tropics, everyone!
Jeff Masters

Joseph B. Shrager, MD, Assistant Professor of Surgery and Director of General Thoracic Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
The use of VATS (video assisted thoracic surgery) is controversial in the thoracic surgical community. Although some centers are regularly offering VATS lobectomies for the treatment of early stage lung cancer, this may not be extensive enough surgery for many patients. Even a small, suspected stage I tumor by CT scan has up to a 20% incidence of nodal metastases and it may not be possible to do a complete nodal dissection by VATS. This could jeopardize both the patients' chance of cure from surgery and appropriate recommendations for further treatment with chemotherapy or radiation therapy. If a clinical stage 1 tumor has been biopsied and is a squamous cell carcinoma, then the rate of nodal metastasis is probably less than 10% and it may be reasonable to elect for VATS lobectomy. However, I personally do not recommend this procedure for my patients.

Runs refers to repeated occurrences of one outcome. For example, in repeated tosses of a coin, there will be runs of heads and tails. In the sequence HHHTHT there are 4 runs (one of length 3 and 3 of length 1).
If there are only two outcomes (as with heads and tails, or with positive and negative residuals from a model) then the Wald-Wolfowitz runs test can be used to test serial autocorrelation or independence. Under the null hypothesis of independence (no autocorrelation) the mean number of runs is given by
$\mu = \frac{2n_1n_2}{n_1 + n_2}+1$
with variance
$\sigma^2 = \frac{2n_1n_2(2n_1n_2 - n_1 - n_1}{(n_1 + n_2}^2(n_1 + n_2 -1)$

Reel World
By Devin D. O'Leary
Architecture on Screen—As part of Albuquerque's ongoing Tricentennial celebration, the city is sponsoring a night of short film screenings at the Guild Cinema in Nob Hill. September has been named Architecture Month, so the city has teamed with the American Institute of Architects-New Mexico to present "In Focus: Architecture in Film." The screening will consist of three short documentaries, each concentrating on one of the architecture world's most famous figures. Antonio Gaudi (designer of Barcelona's Cathedral of the Sagrada Familia), Frank Lloyd Wright (designer of Pennsylvania's Falling Water) and Frank Geary (designer of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles) are the three subjects. The films are simple introductions to and interviews with the subjects at hand, so an advanced knowledge of architecture is not necessary--just an appreciation of beautiful buildings. Yours truly, Alibi's humble film editor, will be on hand to introduce the films and to give a (decidedly) uneducated perspective on the proceedings. The screening starts at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10. The event is free and open to the public. Call 260-0571 for more info.
Film Review
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
Laura Linney is "Perry Mason: Paranormal Litigator"
By Devin D. O'Leary
After a summer of stultifyingly formulaic films, it rests on the shoulders of the fall movie season to provide some relief. To give credit where credit is due, writer/director Scott Derrickson (writer of Urban Legends: Final Cut, director of Hellraiser: Inferno and lover of colons) has come up with an arguably original idea--namely, the world's first courtroom horror drama. Instead of the hoped-for Reese's Peanut Butter Cup combination of chocolate and peanut butter, however, Derrickson's film ends up as an unholy mixture of oil and water.

Eye-opening look behind the Bamboo Curtain shows North Koreans just want to dance, dance, dance

According to President George W. Bush, North Korea is a founding member of the Axis of Evil. Aside from that rather broadly unhelpful description, what do we as Westerners know about the country? Well, not much, really.

Hurricane Katrina around the dial

Admit it. You treat The Weather Channel like one of those ex-boyfriends/ex-girlfriends you look up once a year when you're desperately horny and looking for a booty call. You never even think twice about The Weather Channel. OK, maybe you'll flip past it when you're going on vacation--just for a second to see if you need long or short sleeves. Other than that, you ignore it completely. Until a hurricane shows up. And then you're glued to it like weather porn.

"Reunion" (KASA-2 8 p.m.) Fox's companion piece to "The O.C." finds a group of high school friends reunited after 20 years by the death of a friend. The show splits its time between the teenage and the thirtysomething versions of the cast, uncovering a murder mystery not unlike the one that got "Desperate Housewives" percolating with soapy secrets.

During a Thursday bail hearing held in Dublin, supervisory special agent Brooke Donahue told the Irish court that Freedom Hosting hosted more than 100 child porn Tor sites which sported "thousands of members" who had collectively posted "millions of images" involving the abuse of children, reported Ireland's Independent.
Donahue described Marques as being "the largest facilitator of child porn on the planet" and the sole administrator behind the Freedom Hosting service. Donahue also told the court that the bureau found that Marques had visited some of the Freedom Hosting sites that were distributing child pornography, and that before his arrest, Marques appeared to be researching ways of relocating both himself and his servers to Russia, in an apparent attempt to avoid extradition. Marques ultimately was denied bail.
[ How secure are the new iPhones? Read Apple Hackers Rate iPhone 5s Security. ]
Freedom Hosting, which is unaffiliated with the Tor Project, offered Tor hidden service sites. Denoted by an ".onion" domain name, these sites can be reached only via the Tor anonymizing network, and their true geographic location and hosting details are obscured via multiple layers of routing. But at some point in July, Donahue told the Irish court, the FBI seized control of the Freedom Hosting servers, which were being hosted by an unnamed French service provider. The FBI said that Marques had paid for the hosting, using an account at a Las Vegas bank, and that after the FBI took over the servers, Marques managed to reset their access passwords and temporarily regain control.
Marques still faces the prospect of extradition based on charges -- still under seal -- which were filed in July in federal court in Maryland, which is where the FBI's child-exploitation task force is based, reported Wired.
The FBI had already been identified as the likely culprit behind the July hack of the Freedom Hosting site, which was used to make the site serve malware that targeted users of the Tor Browser Bundle (TBB), which is a version of Firefox customized to use the anonymizing Tor network. The relatively benign malware appeared to transmit -- via HTTP -- the unique MAC address of the infected PC, as well as its Windows hostname, reported Wired. That would have allowed authorities to identify the IP address of the PC and unmask individual Tor users.
All versions of the TBB that have been updated since June 26 are patched against the flaw, apparently exploited by the FBI.
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

You could probably pump out 58 questions about the suddenly uncertain future of the New Orleans Hornets after watching last season's Western Conference darlings last for a mere five games in these playoffs.
Yet we've decided to cap it at five after the banged-up Hornets hung in for a half Wednesday night before the brutish Denver Nuggets pulled away for 107-86 spanking that, combined with Monday's utter destruction, brought a humbling end to New Orleans' season.

Alex Rodriguez Gives Up, Accepts Suspension
The Yankees third baseman has withdrawn his lawsuit against MLB.
Major League Baseball has won its epic battle with Alex Rodriguez. The Yankees third baseman dropped his lawsuit today against the league, the players' association, and commissioner Bud Selig, implicitly accepting the 162-game suspension (plus the playoffs) handed down last month. Despite the circuslike arbitration process, which dropped the punishment from 211 games to one full season, turning to the courts was always considered a long shot. The Yankees will save more than $25 million this season, but continue to owe A-Rod $61 million more through 2017.
