Prediabetes Linked to Stroke Risk
June 8, 2012 -- People with prediabetes may be at greater risk for stroke, a new study suggests.
Prediabetes refers to blood sugar levels that are higher than normal but not high enough to be defined as having diabetes. This condition places a person at greater risk for full-blown diabetes. Many people with prediabetes also have other risk factors for stroke. These include being overweight or obese, having high blood pressure, and high cholesterol levels.
Researchers from the University of California at San Diego analyzed 15 studies of nearly 761,000 people to get a handle on whether or not prediabetes increases stroke risk.
And it does -- sometimes. Stroke risk varies based on the definition of prediabetes. Not all studies in the new analysis defined prediabetes in the same way.
Prediabetes is typically defined as a fasting (not eating for 12 hours) glucose level between 100 to 125 mg/dl. Seventy to 100 mg/dl is normal.
Studies with people whose blood sugar levels were in the 110 to 125 mg/dl range showed a 21% greater likelihood of stroke. This risk held even after the research team took into account other factors that are known to increase risk for stroke.
This range was how the American Diabetes Association defined prediabetes in 1997. They changed the definition to 100mg/dl to 125mg/dl in 2003.
Studies that used the less-restrictive range did show a higher risk for stroke.
Future stroke risk begins to rise at or above a fasting glucose level of 110 mg/dL, the study authors suggest. Their findings appear in the British Medical Journal.
If you fall into this category, "the best thing you can do is alter your lifestyle," says researcher Bruce Ovbiagele, MD. He is a neuroscientist at University of California at San Diego. "Maintain a normal weight and try to exercise at least three times a week."
There is no medicine that treats prediabetes, but "lifestyle modifications can prevent more than 50% of people from going from prediabetes to frank diabetes, which is a major risk factor for stroke," he says.
The best part is that these lifestyle changes are side-effect free.
"There is a growing epidemic of prediabetes, and more people should check whether or not they have it, regardless of the difference in definitions," Ovbiagele tells WebMD.

Of course this is not new blowing it up. I was white here but how to convert to a win is my question?
What critical errors did i make? What was a better decision at each stage?
22 bxc5
There is no mate although you open up the b-file. Possible follow up is he takes your rook on b-file, the you can do Nxd7 threatening both rooks. Basically you end up in a Queen, Knight, Rook vs Rook, Rook, Bishop.
Well, and in the end, that was a mess up. You could have just moved up a pawn of the King's side to avoid checkmate. 2 Rooks vs Bishop and Rook is still a win position.
You were completely won until you hung the rook. Moreover, try putting your rooks on the seventh rank in rook endings as soon as you can. It will mean that there is no safe place to hide for his pawns. Oh, and don't hang pieces =P
well if i were in this position i would have played 16. nf6 gf6 17 nd2 and if black takes the b pawn he loses his rook. The Knight on d2 will prepare Nc4 then f4 with an attack on black king.
May I ask, what time control was that game played at?
My son might be at a comparable level of play and for me it's hard to find out how I can help him avoid falling to obvious threats. A check list may help at first, like:
Check every single square that any of the opponents pieces can move to.
When considering capturing sequences, make sure to count the pieces involved as to be clear on who will finally have control.
In your particular game at some point the queen could be taken for a rook. It did not happen because obviously you thought, after the rook took your rook, recapturing was the only option. It wasn't. (21. ....)
Hey d4devilx, nicely played game for the most part. You missed of course the free queen, as well as the hanging rook (you hung it on the last move), however, no real critical mistakes were made. Your opening was a bit out of the ordinary though.
Vultureway, tell him once hes chosen what move he would like to make to play it in his head. Then he should analyse all the opponents checks, captures and threats in that order.
Thar be some cunning advice.

The FBI finally released information about arrests it made Aug. 5 in Lauderdale County.
Officials say Lachristopher Russell, 28, of Meridian, and 25-year-old Rantrese Smith of Houston, Tex., are charged with "conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than five kilograms of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of cocaine".
United States Magistrate Linda R. Anderson ordered that Russell and Smith be held without bond until a detention hearing, set for Wednesday.
The FBI says the Jackson Violent Crimes Safe Streets Task Force, the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office, the Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol, and the Madison, Miss., Police Department participated in the arrests.

This map was made for a huge Dev group 'RPG' type thing. I was headmistress, other teachers chose their offices where they wanted. And the dorms aren't marked because then other houses would know their secret locations. Unfortunately this group died long ago.
very detailed, but I wish that you placed the House & Common rooms in as well.
Really?! My flat has five floors, and Hogwarts looks like ten times bigger.
There are more floors in that school than i thought there were!

<< Previous exercise (3.43) | Index | Next exercise (3.45) >>
Exchange requires both accounts to be idle before we start exchanging (i.e. exchanging a with b while a is still exchanging with c is not allowed)
For transfer, there is no such requirement. Louis is wrong.
In the exchange problem, state of one account depends on the state of another account (they are coupled). There is no such coupling in the transfer problem.
Another way to rephrase what sam says is to say that exchange has an unserialized access (the difference process) which can occur concurrently with another exchange underway while transfer has no such process...

What I want to do is add an image to the post file template so that every post contains the image in the same place, and the text wraps in the same way, everytime.
I've already accomplished this manually but I'd like to place that code in the post template, but I can't seem to get it to fly.
There's probably a plugin but it just seems to me that placing the code in the template would be even simpler.?? How-to, please.

Can Replacing Linux with Windows Save Millions?
A Microsoft study once more tries to prove that a company is clearly better off with Windows as its platform. Our colleagues at the Australian iTWire Magazine have reported back with an analysis to dispute that claim.
What first appears a success story really isn't. There were no real savings involved. Microsoft's study claimed that tool and equipment rental firm Speedy Hire can save 200,000 British pounds per year over five years by switching their systems from Linux to Windows and Microsoft Office.
The iTWire.com article first of all challenged the argument that Windows-based thin clients offered significant hardware cost savings over Linux-based ones. As the article says, "A thin client for Windows might be cheaper than a full-blown desktop PC, but Wyse bills the V50 as the Linux equivalent of the V90, and it is cheaper." Other areas challenged included support costs, software updates and patches, applications, authentication and performance. As the article progressed, the pounds kept dropping off. We wonder what will be left of the one million in five years.

After Texas Caps Malpractice, Docs Move In
Four years ago, malpractice payments joined the short list of things that are not bigger in Texas. Now doctors are flocking to the state, the New York Times reports.
A 2003 referendum barred courts from interfering with malpractice caps set by the Legislature — $250,000 from the doctor for pain and suffering, and $1.6 million in death cases. (Payments for medical costs and lost income are over and above those caps.)
The number of medical licenses granted in Texas has climbed 18% since 2003. And in the past fiscal year, the state granted 30 percent more licenses than it had in the previous year. The increase in doctors has been twice the rate of the overall population increase, and there's a backlog of nearly 2,500 applications, according to the NYT. Malpractice premiums have fallen more than 20 percent.
The docs seem delighted, but not everybody's pleased. "We've lost our system of legal accountability," N. Alex Winslow, executive director of Texas Watch, a consumer advocacy group, told the paper. "Just having more doctors doesn't make patients safer. It remains to be seen who is coming to our state."

"Kristallnact or Night of Broken Glass"*
In November 1938, mass frenzy broke out in Austria and Germany. Synagogues were destroyed and burned, Jewish homes were assaulted, and Jewish-owned stores were shattered and looted. In many places, Jews were physically attacked. About 30,000 Jews—especially the influential and wealthy—were arrested and were thrown into concentration camps.
This was the first time that riots against the Jews of Germany, accompanied by mass detention, had been organized on such an extensive scale. Though the violent onslaught was officially terminated on November 10, in many places it continued for several days. In Austria, it started only on the morning of November 10 but was particularly fierce.
Every November, people around the world pause to remember Kristallnacht. The name Kristallnacht comes from Kristallglas (beveled plate glass) and refers to the broken shop windows of Jewish stores. Kristallnacht was the Nazis' first experience of large-scale, anti-Jewish violence. It opened the way for the complete eradication of the Jews' position in Germany.

Move & LearnPreschoolers12 Comments
George just recently started learning his name to be more than the letter 'G', so we're working on name recognition lately, and made a ring toss to get him moving and learning it!
It was just Louis' first birthday, so we have paper cups and plates still sitting out.
I simply wrote the letters of George's name on the bottoms of the cups.
I made a paper plate a ring by cutting out the center.
I wanted to use our actual rings from our ring toss (affiliate link), but, as usual, when I want to find something… it is to be unfound… but yet I see it constantly laying around when we're not playing with it!
I set George up to toss the paper plate onto the cups… but that's a lot harder than it seems for a 3 year old to do. So he did more of a ring drop than a ring toss.
He picked a cup, told me the letter (which he struggled with at first, but after we kept doing this over and over, he got those letters down!), and dropped the plate ring over the cup.
Encourage toddlers and preschoolers to learn their name! Many name recognition activities included in our 35 name activities.
He missed a lot even with a drop!
Once he ringed a letter, we moved it to the side until he got all the letters of his name.
And then we rearranged the letters of his name together to spell it. And repeat! Ring the letter cups again and again!

On another note, I saw in chapter two you put out a request for ideas for an M rated side story. When I saw that, there was one pairing I had to ask for (though you'd have to add another character). Anya Alstreim and Princess Luna. Don't ask me why, I just thought of it.

sdfdsf (guest)Um.......Do I need a widescreen TV or something. Half the time character would be talking but wouldnt be on screen.
Also, I love the concept, but I think I would ease back on the silliness and go more for awkward/observational. And get rid of the poetry musicJune 30, 2010 at 12:09AM ESTReply to Comment
Erik S. (guest)I didn't find it nearly as funny as you made it seem, unfortunately. I was really looking forward to it, but the sketch scenes were very underwhelming. Each had its moment of funny stuff, but i found myself enjoying the stand-up way more than the sitcom.June 30, 2010 at 12:09AM ESTReply to Comment
lab6886 (guest)Brilliant, I loved it! funny and sad and uncomfortable.June 30, 2010 at 12:11AM ESTReply to Comment
Zach LJust posted on the preview, but I'll throw my two cents in here. Enjoyed the episodes, I doubt there is a more self-deprecating person alive than Louis CK. I never saw Lucky Louie, but I guess I should count my blessings for that. Very much enjoyed these four mini stories though. Glad to see some of his comic buddies in the cast as well. Didn't care much for the theme, but that's really no big deal.June 30, 2010 at 12:11AM ESTReply to Comment
(guest)I thought it was hilarious. I didn't enjoy the date subplot as much because I thought the girl was far too obnoxious, but I suppose that was part of the point. The best parts of the two episodes were the scenes at the poker table, by far.
I'm definitely in for the long haul.June 30, 2010 at 12:14AM ESTReply to Comment
ChrisAgree with you - the best scene by far was the opening scene of episode 2.
I thought the first episode was mediocre at best. The second was much better.June 30, 2010 at 12:21AM EST
belindaAgreed as well. I like the show all around so far though, but the poker table scenes were definitely my favorite bits of the show. Good chemistry.July 1, 2010 at 1:50AM EST
Andrew (guest)it was hilarious.June 30, 2010 at 12:28AM ESTReply to Comment
GMan (guest)As you said in your review Alan, Louis C.K. is working with something new here. So many times stand-ups try to fit their material into the television mold, where here C.K. is creating television that fits the mold of his vision. This felt more like it should have been on IFC, and I say that with a complement. That second show in particular, with the poker skit and the build up to meeting his "couldabeen" were engaging and new.
Really, television is THE home for our culture's most forward thinking writers. Looking to watch more of this.June 30, 2010 at 1:00AM ESTReply to Comment
Scheer_PowerI loved the stand up stuff (who wouldn't love Louis CK's standup?). The 1st, 3rd and 4th parts were fantastic. The date in the 2nd part was weird and too uncomfortable, but it did have one of my two favorite moments. The part where Louis goes in for the kiss and she runs away and jumps on the helicopter. My other favorite scene was the entire poker scene, especially Nick DiPaolo.June 30, 2010 at 1:04AM ESTReply to Comment
karn (guest)very different and very funny at times. im more of a fun of plot and character based humor, rather than just a string of sketches intermixed with standup, but funny is funny and this shit made me laugh.June 30, 2010 at 1:07AM ESTReply to Comment
Anonymous (guest)Showed promise. Better than I thought it would be, since I'm not a huge fan of his stand-up.June 30, 2010 at 1:11AM ESTReply to Comment
mac35The date storyline was wildly uncomfortable but also provided my biggest laugh of the night when she kept looking at him and he kept smiling the exact same way. You might say that each smile was exponentially funnier.June 30, 2010 at 1:13AM ESTReply to Comment
(guest)The set up for the show is interesting; unlike anything I've seen on television in quite awhile. Anyone who says that it's similar to Seinfeld clearly hasn't really watched it because, aside from the snippets of stand up, the two shows could not be more different.
I loved the second episode but wasn't very into the first. It definitely set up the character and tone, but the date vignette was so painful to watch. Bits of humor had the life sucked out of them almost instaneously. I'm all for awkward situational comedy, but give us minute to take it in first.
Despite the uneveness, I'm intrigued enough to continue watching next week. If they can keep bringing scenes like that poker night on a consistent basis, then we are in for a good season of television.

Reed (guest)It seemed like the split-episode format hindered the show at times, because I felt that each of the subplots could have been expanded into a whole episode, especially the poker subplot. That being said, I thought it was great, and I can't wait to see more.June 30, 2010 at 1:30AM ESTReply to Comment
KensingtonVery promising. The poker scene was downright mesmerizing.
I do wish that Pamela Adlon was going to be a regular cast member, though, because I loved their relationship on "Lucky Louie."June 30, 2010 at 1:49AM ESTReply to Comment
Adam (guest)I'll be honest, I was kinda underwhelmed after the positive reviews I read. Sure I'll watch, but that may just be more of a product of me not having anything to watch in the summer than it being a great show.
Parts were funny, but other parts were disappointing.
Also, I might have missed something, but can someone give some kind of idea what the deal was with the endings to the split stories in the 1st episode that were super unrealistic? Louis is riding along in the bus and suddenly he calls a fleet of limos? His date runs into a chopper and flies away?
That didn't seem to fit in at all with the rest of the show...I don't know. Maybe I didn't get the comedy and that is why I didn't think the show was as great as others seem to think.June 30, 2010 at 1:57AM ESTReply to Comment
lztouchthedreamIt's just a bit of surrealism, taking the joke one step further than it needs to go, there wasn't really anything to 'get', one of those things you're either on board with or not. I personally was, but I can understand why that would feel odd to a lot of people.June 30, 2010 at 9:11AM EST
sepinwallYeah, the first date sketch is structured very much like a silent movie (with dialogue), and the helicopter seemed the sort of touch you might get as the capper to a Buster Keaton short.June 30, 2010 at 9:34AM EST

Savvy VeteranI thought it was great. The standup bits were excellent, as always (and, as someone who saw "Hilarious" at Sundance, I'm glad to see that the standup in the show is—so far, at least—entirely new stuff), and the "short films" in between were very funny, subtle, and kind of poignant. Great stuff.
I'm normally a big Louis C.K. fan anyway, but I think that—even if I *didn't* happen to be an adorer—I would still feel exactly like I do at the moment: wishing that I could watch the entire series RIGHT NOW, in one sitting.
I think this show reflects his sensibilities far better than Lucky Louie did, and I'm excited to see what else it has in store for us.June 30, 2010 at 3:29AM ESTReply to Comment
BigTed (guest)I thought it was brilliant, and proves that there's increasingly little difference between a basic cable channel like FX and HBO. Yes, it was as uncomfortable as it was funny, but that was the idea. (It was as if he had mixed the structure of "Seinfeld" with the hard edge of "Curb Your Enthusiasm.")
But while this show was far better than "Lucky Louie," it's interesting that that show made him into a lower-middle-class guy with severe financial problems. Seeing him as a professionally successful guy (even if that's what he is in reality) makes it harder to buy him as a loser in other aspects of his life.June 30, 2010 at 4:14AM ESTReply to Comment
NombreWhat did you mean by "severe financial problems"? I was wondering how they were going to deal with his real life success and the image of him as a loser but the only indication I saw of his financial status was when he bought all the limos for the kids after the bus broke down.June 30, 2010 at 4:19AM EST
BigTedNombre: I meant that his character in "Lucky Louie" had financial problems, while his character in this show clearly doesn't.June 30, 2010 at 4:45AM EST
Savvy VeteranI'm not really buying into any of the Seinfeld comparisons, even if it's only to its "structure," rather than its content. Seinfeld almost always juggled A, B, and C (and, once season 9 rolled around, occasionally D!) stories, and—sometimes more successfully than others—these plot threads all dovetailed just before the pre-credits freeze frame. Standup is included in both shows, obviously, but other than that, the storytelling of the two shows seems hardly capable of being any more dissimilar to me. Each short film segment in Louie hardly seemed all that concerned with what came before it. (I also loved it, by the way. I've just noticed a lot of people positing this.)June 30, 2010 at 8:23AM EST
sepinwallSavvy Veteran, the "Seinfeld" comparison is specifically in the way that the stand-up bits inform the sketches that follow, in the same way that, at least in the early days of "Seinfeld," the episodes were structured so that you could see how Jerry's misadventures with George, Elaine and Kramer would lead him to come up with the stand-up routine that opened and closed the episode.
Tonally and stylistically, they're very different, but the idea of the comedian's worldview being expressed through his act and then through his life experiences is the common denominator.June 30, 2010 at 9:33AM EST
Savvy VeteranAh yes—thanks for the clarification. In that way, the comparison, obviously, is dead-on. I suppose I half-winced at the mentioning because—on a few other sites I've been visiting—some people seem to be using the similarities as something of a slight against the originality of "Louie" (you and BigTed didn't feel that way, though), and I definitely felt very strongly the other way.June 30, 2010 at 6:44PM EST

bgporterLoved it -- was only planning to watch the first one, but got suckered into the whole hour. Really looking forward to seeing where he takes this. I especially like that it's not room-written, it's just Louis C.K being given money and cameras.June 30, 2010 at 9:13AM ESTReply to Comment
Rinaldo (guest)My thanks to Alan for pointing me toward a show I probably wouldn't have noticed (or if I had, might have given a miss).
Unlike him, though, and apparently like several other readers, I found the "date" story the weakest of the lot. Partly, I suppose, because the "comedy of discomfort" just isn't my thing (I've never been an "Office" fan either). But I also thought that one missed its target a bit: dating, at a point in life where you'd thought you would never have to do that again, is certainly a fine and widely relatable basis for comic insights, but in this one instance I thought he went too broad, and even approached sitcom rhythms and predictability.
Otherwise, very different and enjoyable. Particularly the poker scenes.June 30, 2010 at 9:37AM ESTReply to Comment
JoeRI thought the show was pretty amazing. I had read in an interview that FX basically cuts him a check for $300,000 and then he does whatever he wants. I'm always dubious about people saying that sort of thing, but in this case, it looked to be 100% true. I loved the surreal endings to the first couple segments. The poker segment was just incredible, and unlike anything on TV right now.
I got through the full first two episodes before I remembered that Ricky Gervais was going to be on sometime later with the hilarious part in the commercials.June 30, 2010 at 11:03AM ESTReply to Comment
Nick (guest)This truly was pretty darn unique and, other than the bus driver segment, incredibly hilarious too. The one with his brother at the diner was my favorite. Really hoping it did well ratings wise.June 30, 2010 at 11:45AM ESTReply to Comment
Owen (guest)I loved it. For me it's a "Flight of the Conchords" replacement. That sounds strange, since it's so dark, but somehow the structure (stand-up = songs) and the day-to-day seriousness mixed with casual surrealism, make me feel the FotC vibes in a very good way.June 30, 2010 at 1:06PM ESTReply to Comment

Hwood96The 4:3 formatting was terribly frustrating. In this day and age of widescreen format I didn't understand why this looked like a pan and scan. It was REALLY frustrating in that manner. But I enjoyed the material between the stand-up.

Buster (guest)Unbelievably amazing show. It feels game-changing, not just for American television, but American culture as a whole. I realize how overstated that sounds, but somehow I don't think it is. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time, and afterwards, I just paced around my house thinking about it. So good, so timely and so different, in exactly the right way.June 30, 2010 at 8:32PM ESTReply to Comment

TyrocThe poker sketch was amazing (if not actually factual at all when it came to the origin of the slur in question.) But the overall point -- that a slur can be used in comedy but only carefully and with intelligence behind it and not simply for an easy laugh -- was a great one and explained with wit, compassion, and lots of humor. Loved it.
The other sketches didn't work nearly as well for me. Much more odd than funny. And he seems to have trouble with endings of sketches (a problem for SNL and Monty Python as well. Although Python avoided it by cutting away "and now for something completely different.") But the shoe is definitely DIFFERENT. And that will keep me watching for at least a little while.July 1, 2010 at 12:57AM ESTReply to Comment

Flegg fiasco has Newman looking like a hypocrite
- From: The Courier-Mail
- November 14, 2012
SPARE a thought today for former police minister David Gibson.
The Gympie MP was forced out of the ministry by Premier Campbell Newman because of his appalling record behind the wheel, including driving without a licence.
Gibson's position as a police minister facing such an offence, despite it occurring before he was sworn in, was untenable.
Newman acted and came off looking like a strong leader.
It was in stark contrast to his predecessor as premier who protected rather than prosecuted wrongdoers in Labor's ranks.
However, Gibson's axing is looking increasingly opportunistic and Newman hypocritical given the latest drama surrounding Housing Minister Bruce Flegg.
The bar was set high by the incoming premier when he forced Gibson out after waxing lyrical about a new era of ministerial responsibility during the election.
However, Newman seems to have stumbled at the much higher second hurdle by so stridently sticking by Flegg.
The allegations levelled yesterday by Flegg's sacked former media adviser Graeme Hallett were not an instant hanging offence.
However, the cumulative weight of what was claimed deserved some decent scrutiny by a leader who promised greater accountability rather than cheap politicking about the Opposition's record.
Refusing to properly probe accusations and attacking an opponent was the tried and true formula of the government that the LNP replaced.
Now, a short time later, Newman is proving they are no different.
Let's not forget that this isn't Flegg's first offence.
His appointment of LNP treasurer Barry O'Sullivan to review GoPrint was a sackable offence.
Failing to tell Newman that O'Sullivan also took a look at GoPlant only added weight to the case for his exit from Cabinet.
Newman's inconsistent actions are being viewed poorly by the LNP backbench and, more importantly, the public.
Newman should have at least promised to look at what was being claimed so he appeared part of the solution.
Instead, he's just come off looking like part of the problem.

Like the rest of the federal government, the intelligence community [IC] is looking for ways to save money and eyeing the cloud environment as one possible way. Unlike counterparts in other agencies, intelligence organizations are inherently secretive with essentially peerless security requirements. So how will it move to the cloud?
A successful approach will hinge on collaborative partnership, common solutions and effective policies, according to a panel of intelligence officials who spoke March 23 at an AFCEA briefing in Arlington, Va.
"The Defense Department can't succeed without the IC, and the IC depends on the department for capabilities," said Neill Tipton, director of information sharing and partner engagement in the office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Joint and Coalition Warfighter Support. "Technology is the enabler, but it's about policies that make data available to people where ever they are."
Tipton said three key factors driving the intelligence community's move to the cloud include efficiencies mandates being implemented across DOD, department-wide changes in IT like consolidation and the changing needs of current and future mission networks.
But contrary to popular belief, security may not be the biggest problem.
"What difference does the cloud make? It turns out that there are some things that are far more secure…there are a few things that are far less secure. By and large, most security issues are unchanged simply because we changed the technology. We have the same issues, by and large, that we already had," said Hank Beebe, intelligence community CIO in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. "The more interesting part is having to deal with things like certification and accreditation, achieving reciprocity [and] moving against the insider threat."
In fact, those are just a few concerns on a laundry list of challenges outlined by the panelists.
Jack Gumtow, CIO of the Office of Naval Intelligence, said scalability and access to data across DOD and the IC continues to be a problem, as does governance.
Other issues include overcoming a traditionally exclusive approach to problem-solving and the sheer volume of solutions necessary to achieve all the goals of moving to the cloud, Beebe added.
"We're not going to get [50 percent savings] with cloud. It's going to be an aggregation of lots of technologies, one of which is the cloud," Beebe said. "The good news is everyone agrees we need to solve [these] problems. DOD and the IC recognize that this needs to be worked together, not separately. I don't know there will ever be a common solution, but we need to at least be able to mediate between solutions."
Some of those solutions are already in play.
Lynn Schnurr, Army Intelligence CIO for the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-2 and director of intelligence in the community information management directorate, highlighted progress in the Army's distributed common ground system (DCGS) and Land ISR Net, both intelligence networks supporting deployed soldiers that rely on cloud capabilities.
The Air Force also is making progress in its own version of DCGS, which is turning wing operations into data storage sites that can process information and distribute to the field, according to Robert Marlin, Air Force technical adviser for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities and integration.
DCGS is one example of joint DOD/IC use of cloud capabilities, and it's representative of the new approach, the panelists indicated.
"We know it's not affordable for us to continue to try to implement architectures of the past. But we all have to continue to work together to find solutions, and that's the key part. How do we get a common platform? How do we get away from the 'boxes-R-us' solutions…and to a common architecture that is more affordable and implementable?" Schnurr said.

Passionate De Palma,
Achat vérifié(De quoi s'agit-il ?)
Ce commentaire fait référence ŕ cette édition : Passion (DVD)
Firstly, please excuse that I don't speak French, hence my review in English. Fortunately, Brian De Palma seems much more appreciated as a master of his form in France than he is in the U.S. and U.K. This is an exquisite new Brian De Palma film. Passion is playful pure cinema, covering De Palma's common themes and visual styles (voyeurism, technology, obsession, manipulation, deception, guilt, beautiful femme fatale's, heightened performances, overt artificiality, deliberate tonal shifts & stylistic flourishes). Whilst the first half of the film plays as a seemingly straightforward corporate drama, replete with corporate backstabbing (with a brilliant, but frankly bonkers Pino Donaggio soft core score). All is not as it seems however, and the second half of the film takes on a completely different direction and moves into the realms of dreams within dreams and German expressionism with a trademark and quite wonderful split screen section involving Mallarmé's/ Dubussy's 'Afternoon of the Faun' ballet linking the poem/ballet to a key character and murder of another which tricks you about its timeline. There are images and adverts of the ballet shown prior to this, and the story behind Mallarmé's poem (the awakening of a faun and the faun's encounters with several nymphs in a dreamlike oration) is central to both to the plot of the story & the character & motivations of Isabella. (Donaggio's score too transforms to riff's on Bernard Hermann's dramatic strings).
Like so many De Palma films, this gets even better with multiple viewings as you realise and understand more what about what you have and haven't seen, what is and isn't real, & what is a dream or a re-awakening.
Elements of other De Palma psychological thrillers (in particular Sisters, Dressed to Kill & Raising Cain) resonate throughout this film. Overall, fantastic fun.

I am new to WordPress, & am trying to create a modestly ambitious website with my installation. I can't seem to figure out a few things, can someone point me to clear precise info about these:
1. I will need to have any registered user of my site be an author. Also, as admin, I do not wish to moderate every entry by these authors. At the current time, I am noticing that WordPress does not publish a new post by an author till the admin clears it.
2. I am using the default them ( Kubrick), & find it very confusing about how to create a custom category page. On my site, i am creating custom categories, & need only certain modules displayed. I need something step-by-step that takes me through this process.
3. I will need users to have the ability to tag posts, as well as media associated with posts ( such as photos, videos). Are there simple add-ons I could use?
4. I want authors ( all registered users) to have the ability to create a new post from within the site, & not by going into the WordPress panel. How do I create a New Post page within my site?
I'll have more but this is getting too long so I'll stop here :) Thanks!

Studies of diet and health focus increasingly on dietary patterns. Although the traditional Mediterranean diet is perceived as being healthy, there is little information on its possible benefit to young people. We studied whether closer adherence to the traditional Mediterranean dietary pattern was associated with overall and cancer mortality in a cohort of 42237 young women, aged 30–49 years at enrolment, who were recruited in 1991–2 from the general population in the Uppsala Health Care Region, Sweden, and followed up, almost completely, for about 12 years. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was assessed by a 10-point score incorporating the characteristics of this diet. Among women less than 40 years old at enrolment – whose causes of death are mainly cancer with probable genetic influences, injuries or suicide – there was no association of the Mediterranean diet score with total or cancer mortality. Among women 40–49 years old at enrolment, a 2-point increase in the score was associated with considerable reductions in overall mortality (13%; 95% CI 1%, 23%; P0·05) and cancer mortality (16%; 95% CI −1%, 29%; P0·06). Few cardiovascular deaths occurred in this cohort of young women. The findings of the present study in a northern European population of young women indicate that closer adherence to a Mediterranean dietary pattern reduces mortality even among young persons.

I sent them a letter with a copy of my credit card statement in it showing the double charges. The company claimed they never received the letter, so next I faxed the same statement to them. On contacting the company again by telephone, I was told they received the fax but were sending me two orders of the product and no refund was coming.
I had seen your website, since making the order and saw the reports about this company. How strange that this company is right in my backyard as it is located just outside of Cincinnati, Ohio where I live.
