Caring about us working up a sweat at the computer, Olga Zaykin, using own experience, has devoted its energies to the development of a set of exercises that you can perform almost without moving from the workplace. Moreover, she's threatening not to leave this topic and continue to develop such systems. Now you can select your complex, or combine suitable for you exercises. The latest addition includes elements of breathing exercises: Bodyflex, Strelnikova, Shatalova.
Sometimes new is well forgotten old. Once many years ago had a mandatory gymnastics. She was treated most often with laughter, and all of it remained in the memories somewhere in Communist Saturdays and collection of waste paper.Then came American movies about the lives of businessmen and business ladies, which sounded the words: fitness club, step aerobics, shaping, stretching, on the screens flashed in the office equipment and personal trainers, and the main characters and the heroine suddenly neither from that nor from this began to demonstrate the flexibility of his body, not in films about sports and not in a bed scene, and the background of the office scenery.
In Russia American good initiative was taken up at once. First, the word "fitness" was associated exclusively with sports halls and fitness clubs, then there were exercises home fitness, and only in the last two years there was extensive development of office fitness.
In short, gymnastics "in working noon" is back.
Workout in the workplace – that will save us from apathy and our body from ossification.
Office fitness can be carried out once a day – say, in your work schedule to give him 15-20 minutes.
Better to do it in the afternoon or before dinner (but not immediately after a workout to go to the dining room!).
You can go the other way – "insert" the individual exercises into your work schedule. For example, sit at the computer – mash legs under the table. Others go to smoke – and you go out and walk around the hallway a couple of times or go up and down the stairs. All out – climb and make a few bends and squats.
Limitations of office fitness
No intense exercise – it is just a warm up (in shower-you will get soon!).
No sharp exercises and swings with a large amplitude (you're in business clothes).
But even this limited warm-up will bring a lot of benefits.
You should not wear tight fitting clothes and underwear that rubs. Pick shoes with a comfortable heel and Shoe. Uncomfortable shoes constricts the blood vessels that disrupts normal blood flow, deforms the foot.
Let's start with the feet, our long-suffering feet, which is especially not like standing and sedentary work and the need to stay in one place without movement. Standing and sedentary work is bad for circulation and, consequently, on the condition of the foot. Varicose veins (especially in women) often is associated with sitting or standing position.
Foot good simple exercise – walking. Appeared a minute – stand up from the computer and walk down the corridor, quick step.
If you have long to stay in one place – try periodically shifting from foot to foot. Get rid of bad habits of sitting, foot for foot.
Try "on the quiet", sitting at the computer, to do these exercises:
in the sitting position "run" feet on the floor;
a minute or two tap heels on the floor. The point of this exercise is that you "disperse" the blood and lymph;
practice toes – try to take them from the floor, small items – socks and tights this is not a problem;
roll the sole of the foot any cylindrical object such as a thick pencil;
"walk" in a sitting position on the outer side of the foot, on the inside, on heels and on the toes;
make the feet a little massage – light stroking, starting at the feet and the arch of the foot, rise on the calves to the knee, then a few circular motions over the knee and thigh to the groin.
Do not abuse coffee coffee dilates blood vessels. In offices most often in free access without restriction of coffee, tea and sugar. Use this freebie is limited. Slightly Smoking relieves stress and lets you focus, and it is a way of information sharing… But Smoking also dilates blood vessels and impairs circulation, especially in the lower extremities. I urge you to quit Smoking, I know how difficult it is (even though she never smoked), and the harm from Smoking is somewhat exaggerated, but it's still not a Smoking abuse.
Do not be sad in the absence of funds on gyms and exercise equipment: to be used as a training tool, and can sportsarama and homemade "handy tools": table, chair, wardrobe, small balcony, bottles of water.
Continuing the theme of office fitness, find our offices in existing "simulators" and use them to improve the body.
Tables and bedside tables are good for pushups. However, once for pushups at the Desk caught me wrong time came the Deputy Director of the Institute – dumb. His eyes were like saucers. Therefore it is better to exercise when you locked the doors or in the company of their own kind (i.e. those who want to have a good figure).
The chair can be used as a ballet Barre. Especially comfortable chairs with high back. Ballet exercises are graceful and elegant, so they can be done even in public – in addition to the compliment of the type "what-beautiful-feet" you will not say anything.
The three-volume English-Russian dictionary (or thick reference books and directories), put on the floor, it is suitable for step aerobics at a slow pace (the pace can not speed up – you're in the office). For this bench fits library (a library is perfect for fitness of for shelves is not visible).
The same three-volume dictionary is needed to generate beautiful gait: put a dictionary on the head (1-3 volumes) and with him walk around the room.
I suggest to use the terrain: often in offices are convenient corners, niches and pristupochke, awnings and recesses.
So look for (improvised office-shells) and you will find (in good shape).

Protest Against Bill Favoring Quackery
On behalf of the medical profession of Austria, the president of the Austrian aerztekammern, a body that protects the interests of physicians, submitted recently to the ministry for social administration a protest against a bill that is about to come before parliament. The bill is an expression of a movement on foot to place the administration of justice in Austria and Germany on a common basis in many respects. The question involved is whether interventions and the writing of prescriptions shall remain the prerogative of scientifically trained physicians or whether ignorant and half-trained persons shall be permitted to menace the public health. For more than seventy years, the law has protected the public against thousands of charlatans and quacks, whereas the population of Germany has been unprotected. Austrian physicians have no fear that it is the intention to remove all restrictions from the practice of

(Psst! Make sure to check out the first and second GB renaissance blog entries if you haven't read them yet.)
I'm currently playing two Game Boy games. The first is Kirby's Block Ball. While basically a Breakout clone, Block Ball does a lot with its Kirby theme. Kirby, naturally, is the ball you bounce around and he retains his enemy-devouring skills, though only certain enemies can be eaten. One enemy, for instance, gives Kirby the power of electricity, allowing him to cruise through blocks without rebounding as long as the electricity flows through him. But hitting the spikes at the bottom of the screen causes him to lose the special ability. Often the sides and/or top of the screen also have paddles to help you get Kirby around. Sometimes the walls and ceiling are spiked too but usually you just have paddles, if anything, over the harmless flat surfaces. Another neat gameplay addition is if you press the A button just as Kirby hits the paddle, you can send him out with an extra bit of oomph that destroys blocks normally requiring multiple hits in just one, and it protects him from a rebound on the spikes, which is good because he flies faster than normal for a second or two.
Kirby's Block Ball has 10 worlds (I'm on world 7 right now), each with four stages and a boss battle. The block configurations are of course different in every level and Hal did a good job of constantly introducing new block types or power ups to keep things interesting. The bosses are all recognizable Kirby enemies and once you get to their stage, you have a paddle on each wall to help you pummel the baddie. When his health bar reaches zero, you win! On to the next stage.
Interspersed in the levels are hidden warp stars. If you hit certain "empty" spaces, a warp star will appear and if you land Kirby on that, you fly off to try your hand at one of four bonus games for a chance to earn some extra lives. The bonus games help break up the somewhat repetitive breakout action.
Overall, Kirby's Block Ball has been a simple and enjoyable game. But I like the other game I'm playing even more. These days it is commonly referred to as Donkey Kong '94.
Technically titled just Donkey Kong, DK '94 starts out like a straight rehash of the arcade game. The titular ape has abducted Pauline and Mario is out to rescue her. But the first four levels, comprising the entirety of the arcade game, are just the introduction in DK '94. I'm told there are 101 levels in all. Quite an upgrade to the arcade's 4.
You control Mario, of course, and what an acrobatic protagonist he is! He can run, jump, hand spring, and do a sideways flip, to name a few. The game slowly reveals his moveset to you, but everything is doable from the beginning. Just playing around with the controls and finding out what is possible is a lot of fun. And the thing is, Mario is gonna need all those snazzy moves to get through the games many levels. After the introduction the game is broken up into themed worlds, like a big city, a jungle, a pirate ship, and so on. These worlds are broken up in stages and each fourth stage is a showdown with DK.
Donkey Kong '94 is a puzzle platformer. Each stage has a key that you must get and carry to the locked exit door. But the levels are filled with all sorts of enemies, hazards, and things that just complicate your life. Whether there are blood-sucking bats flying in an area you need to jump through or conveyor belts and spike pits in your way, things are never dull. Oh, and you have a time limit too. It's always reasonable—I think I've run out of time only once—but you can earn 1ups based on how much time is left when you finish the level, so getting done quickly is always a top priority. The time limit adds just enough urgency to always keep things moving. And the level design is excellent, and paired with the versatile controls, the game is a sublime experience.
In 2004 I bought a Game Boy Advance game called Mario Vs. Donkey Kong, and I loved it. I never picked up any of its sequels because the franchise went a different direction than I wanted. I wanted another game like M Vs. DK, not the touch-control of the DS sequels. Then I discovered Donkey Kong '94 and it is exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't be happier with it. I just hope that Nintendo decides to return to this sort of puzzle platformer eventually. Though I'm playing an original GB cart, DK '94 is now available on the 3DS eShop. So those of you 3DSes need to download it right away! You'll be getting an awesome game for cheap, and maybe if it sells enough, Nintendo will make a sequel in the classic vein.
Well, thank you to those who stuck with me for this walk down Retro Lane. Moral of the story: Don't write off the Game Boy. It has plenty of great little games that hold up today. Go play some.

CHASKA, Minn. — School districts in Minnesota have been trying out Blue Bird's Propane-Powered Vision bus this month to see how it handles the frigid weather.
The Star Tribune did an article last week on Eastern Carver County Schools' turn with the bus.
The newspaper said that some pupil transporters in Minnesota remember when some school buses ran on propane in the 1970s and '80s and often stalled during the harsh winters, but the new Blue Bird version "seem[s] to have conquered the problems with cold with improved technology."
John Thomas, transportation coordinator for Eastern Carver County Schools, told the Star Tribune, "It started right away. It heats up beautifully. Right now, I'm pretty confident we'll be asking for these."
The district, which contracts its bus service with Positive Connections, said it may replace as many as 85 of the 120 buses that serve its students with propane models by next year.
Last week's trial missed a period of below-zero temperatures in the area earlier in the month, but after leaving the Minneapolis-area district, the Propane-Powered Vision was headed up to a few districts in northern Minnesota, where it would likely face even colder testing.

I wanted to ask the moms out there if this seems like something I need to worry about. So a family member told me I should be concerned how my 25mo DS has a very high concentration. For instance if he is playing with something like blocks or watches a movie, he is likely to ignore distructions. For me, as someone who had a mild ADD, it seems like a good thing since I suffered a lot through not being able to concentrate.
I just wanted your opinion on how high is the concentration of your toddler. Do you think it is weird that it is hard to distract a 25mo?
P.S. Pediatrician never said anything and my DS has been hitting all the milestones just fine

Belafonte, Huffington honored for speaking truth to power
NEW YORK CITY — "When Martin Luther King Jr. began to respond to the demands for justice, one of the first persons he called upon was Harry Belafonte," said Andrew Young, a top aide to King, former congressman and United Nations ambassador. Young was introducing Belafonte at the Drum Major Institute for Public Policy annual benefit here on June 8, which honored Belafonte and Arianna Huffington for "Speaking Truth to Power."

The 800-lb. gorillas: war spending & tax cuts for the rich
The persistent budget crises in Illinois and Chicago are in large measure created by the Bush administration policies of tax cuts for the very rich, militarization and Iraq war spending that are bankrupting cities, counties and states across the nation. The recently adopted Bush budget projects red ink as far as the eye can see.
On critics from the left
The Communist Party USA's party-wide preconvention discussion shows the overwhelming majority supports the strategic direction of its new draft program and main resolution and also includes many good suggestions to strengthen them. A scattering of members say we should instead retain the 1983 program as the starting point, updating certain points. Most of them characterize the new draft program as going in a "social democratic," "right opportunist" direction.

"Money doesn't talk," Bob Dylan observed. "It swears." Those words are certainly true for the Bush administration and its attitude toward the environment.
Editorial: Filibuster fiasco
As the saying goes, the proof is in the pudding. Since the bipartisan agreement by 14 senators that resulted in a compromise deal on the Senate filibuster rule, three extreme right-wing judges have been confirmed for the federal bench. The Senate saved its rule, but the courts took a big hit.

I recently was on the Pride going from Baltimore to Florida. After rounding Cape Hatteras, I noticed we did not take the most direct route to Port Canaveral but stayed closer to the coast that the shortest route.Why was this? Was it to avoid deeper, rougher waters, or was it to stay in US territorial waters for some reason.
Gary, I will venture a guess without doing the proper research work. It might be that the north flowing Gulf Stream is further from the shore in that area. Sailing south in it would slow the ship down. You got the time to check it out let me know if I am right.
Excellent answer and probably correct. Think fuel usage fighting a 3 knot current. My suggestion would be to ask one of the crew members while you were on the ship. If they don't know they could easily find out. You could also call the company who would be only too happy to answer your question.
What makes you think that people on a message board will know the answer to this?
Good one

Reviews collected from customers who booked on AccorHotels.com
The service was very good. The room was comfortable. The beds though could do with bigger pillows and bigger duvet for a double bed. The location was excellent. The stuff was very helpful and friendly. They all spoke English which was very helpful. Overall I had a very positive experience at this hotel. Will definitely consider coming back.
Have stayed at this hotel for the past five years at the same time every year to attend the All Nations Cup (Arabian horses). The reception staff are polite, friendly and helpful. The room (standard) is always spotless as is the on-suite. The staff in the bar/restaurant are helpful and polite and the buffet food has improved this year! Will return next year hopefully.
The hotel is nice and clean. People are very friendly, at the tables as well as at the reception. Room was in excellent condition. There's plenty of choice at the breakfast (loved the range of yogurts)! The city center is easily reachable by bus or a short walk. The Carolus Thermen are even closer. There is, however, no fitness in the hotel.

Firefox 8 is 20% faster than Firefox 5, matches Chrome 14
Firefox 8, which only just appeared on the Nightly channel, is already 20% faster than Firefox 5 in almost every metric: start up, session restore, first paint, JavaScript execution, and even 2D canvas and 3D WebGL rendering. The memory footprint of Firefox 7 (and thus 8) has also been drastically reduced, along with much-needed improvements to garbage collection.
According to our own benchmarks, start up, session restore, and first paint — how long it takes Firefox to appear after you click its icon, and how long it takes to re-open your previous tabs — have been continuously tackled since Firefox 7 first emerged, about two months ago. There's a 10% difference between Firefox 5 and 7 — and a further 10% speed-up between FF7 and FF8. This isn't merely an under-the-hood, synthetic-benchmark, on-paper thing either: the difference between FF5 and FF8 is very, very noticeable.

The library is great. We don't have any athletic here but I'm completely fine with that.
Campus Resources:
I feel it's all about the student that you are. You get out what you put in so get involved in open campus activities.
Campus Resources:
The library and event stage is great and the school had a good number of professional speakers that come in and give great lectures every month. As for the rest of the campus, the classrooms and studios are in good order but the school is seriously lacking any health/self care facilities. Considering the long hours of sitting and working the classes require you would think there would be a gym on site to encourage activity and a cafeteria with better--healthier selections but there is not. Also the school is painted with the most ridiculous eye popping colors.
Campus Resources:
Depending on what program you are in you will either get the best gear or some of the worst. Sound students can look forward to amazing tech while animation students and game art students will have a few terms with the saddest computers in the school. Eventually animation and GAD students get to the good stuff but it's pretty skewed for a bit there.
Campus Resources:
The library is very small and there are no real study areas on campus. This is an area that expression can improve.

Thanking our own heaven on OneWebDay
This coming Saturday (22 September) is OneWebDay, a project I'm proud to have been a part of since Susan Crawford thought it up many months before the first one last year. OneWebDay is meant as a day on which we celebrate the Web and what it does for each of us.* So I want to celebrate what the Web does, and continues to do, for me as a journalist.
The arc of my writing career is something of a parabola: a broad U-shaped valley between the time when I worked as a newspaper and magazine writer and editor and the time when I started writing on and about the Web, and everything that makes it good, including (and especially) Linux.
I started my journalism career almost straight out of college, writing first as a reporter and photographer for Wayne Today in suburban New Jersey, and then as editor, reporter, photographer and layout guy for the West Milford Argus. (I just checked to see if either still exists. Both do, though regrettably neither seems to have any editorial on the Web.) That was in 1970-72. Then I got a job at WSUS radio, even farther out in the New Jersey exurbs. There I did everything from disc jockeying to selling advertising to writing and reading news and even (as a former ham radio operator) some engineering at the mountaintop transmitter, where I once climbed the tower to change a light bulb for payment in the form of a six-pack.
I followed the radio vector to stations in North Carolina, where my journalistic work took the form of writing and performing as a comedic character called "Doctor Dave". My nickname today is a fossil remnant of that persona. From there I went on to writing and editing work for a scientific parapsychological research outfit (yes, they existed) that hung off the side of Duke University. It was there that one of my funny pieces caught the attention of a new magazine called OMNI, which recruited me to write features for them. Those paid $800 apiece, which was huge money in 1977-78, and I entertained fantasies of making a career as a writer of funny stuff. In a flurry of sweat and ambition I wrote a pile of "spec" work and hired an agent, who shopped my work to National Lampoon and various book publishers, all of which shot it down. OMNI cut me off too, I think because they didn't like seeing me using an agent.
Around that same time I was writing copy on the side for a fledgling advertising agency, two partners of which soon invited me to join on as a third. Thus Hodskins Simone & Searls was born. Long story short, HS&S was quite successful, eventually moving to California and becoming one of the top advertising and PR agencies for high tech clients in Silicon Valley. During that time I honed my writing skills on advertising copy, but pretty much gave up on journalism, even as a sideline.
Still, I cared about tech trends; so by the late 1980s I had long been following the Internet. By the early 90s, I also knew about the Web, and began expecting both the Net and the Web to change everything, including writing. So I started to push my writing to some of the tech magazines that were around back then. I only had one bite, from PC Week, which liked my stuff but didn't know what to do with it, because it wasn't about PCs. Instead it was about the Net and the Web and how both changed everything.
I knew the Net was really getting promising when my friend Phil Hughes, a brilliant bearded Unix geek from Central Casting, included me on a email list of folks who were talking about starting a magazine for free software. Why free software? Because that was the only kind that made sense for building out the new networked world. One day Phil announced to the list that the magazine would be about Linux, which he thought would provide the foundation of everything that followed in the free software world. He was right. Thus the free software magazine was born instead as Linux Journal, which it hit the streets in 1994, the same month Linux itself hit version 1.0.
I didn't start writing for Linux Journal right away. Instead I wrote for a sister magazine called Websmith. That got mooshed into LJ around the time Netscape open-sourced Mozilla, in early 1998. I covered that event for LJ, and did a long interview with Marc Andreessen and Tom Paquin. Not long after that Phil invited me to join Linux Journal as a full-time editor, and the parabola of my journalism career returned to high ground I had vacated at the end of my OMNI stint, eighteen years earlier.
In early 1999 Chris Locke, Rick Levine, David Weinberger and I co-wrote a rant called The Cluetrain Manifesto, which made such a big splash that we went on to write the book-length version of the thing, which came out in January 2000, just in time to help cause the dot-com crash. (So some have said. I hope so, anyway.) It was in late 1999 that I also started blogging, thanks encouragement and help from Dave Winer.
Today, in addition to my work as Senior Editor of Linux Journal, I'm a fellow at both UCSB's Center for Information Technology and Society and Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society. And I make a living speaking and consulting as well, mostly on matters related to the Internet, open source, or whatever.
On the avocational side, I now have over seventeen thousand pictures on the Web, mostly on (Linux-based) Flickr.
The moral of my OneWebDay story is this: If it weren't for the Web, I wouldn't be here. In fact, I might instead be nearing the end of a long career as a marketing guy who happened to have been a journalist once and still did a little writing on the side.
At the Berkman Center today we were treated to four different views of where the Web was going and what issues might concern us. After those talks, John Palfrey put me on the spot by asking me to start the follow-up remarks. I had nothing prepared, but perhaps it was better that way.
I confessed to being a utopian. That is, I believe what we have with the Web today is as close to a utopia as humans have ever built, or ever could build. If the stars shone through the clouds but once in a lifetime, Emerson said, their beauty would be legend. Incredibly, we have made those stars, and a firmament in which they can shine. And they are ourselves.
* I got ahead of myself here. Being somewhat calendar-blind (much as some people are color-blind), I actually woke up today thinking it was the 22nd, and that I'd better get my OneWebDay piece finished fast. I just noticed, at the point when 90 people have already read this piece, that, um, it's the 18th. Duh.
So. What to do. Should I yank it and bring it back out on the 22nd, or just live with my dumb flub? Having ample experience at the latter, I opted for that course.
Doc Searls is Senior Editor of Linux Journal
Good going!
Dude, $800.00 a piece is still really good money even these days. Seriously. Especially for guys who are just starting out in this industry. As a Freelancer, to get a guy to pay you $800.00 a piece is a HUGE success. You'll find that some people (yes, this is the REAL low end) expect to pay $1.00 for a 500 word article on the internet. Can you believe it? One Dollar? Are they crazy? Yet, people from all over the world bite.
While the internet has opened up HUGE opportunities, it also has opened up the market and competition. We compete now against people from other countries where $1.00 isn't bad... I'm not complaining, I love the opportunities we have – it's just interesting the way this has worked...
Day without the Internet
I personally feels that Internet is a great invention! With it, the world is a much better place to live in. Information are pass around with ease and technology are advancing much faster with the help of internet. Currently, my job is also based on internet. There are so much fun with internet and i can't imagine a day without it!
James Burt
What would we be without the net?
Your last paragraph sums it all up in my opinion. I can't imagine a world without the net. Not only is it many people's bread and butter, but what would I do a Saturday afternoon? Go out and enjoy the sun?!

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Governing business process offshoring: Properties, processes, and preferred modes
This article examines an important yet understudied issue—the governance mode for business process offshoring (BPO). By applying transaction cost economics and organizational control perspective in the global BPO context, we suggest that BPO's governance mode (foreign captive, joint venture, and independent vendor) is determined by task features, such as knowledge specialization, information security, and process codifiability, and by needed process integration, horizontally between departments and units within the provider and vertically between the provider and its global client and its local subcontractor. Findings from our analysis of 308 global BPO units in India and China confirm our hypotheses.

Building bright Mediterranean flavors, one tweak at a time
On a menu full of appealing pork- and beef-centric dishes at the Rumpus Room downtown, it was the octopus salad that leaped out.
Such clean, nimble flavors - this was an irresistible dish, light and bright on the palate. True, the meat dishes have clear, big flavors, too; nothing is muddled on this menu. But that salad, with its herb and citrus note and contrasting textures, is compelling. »Read Full Article(1)
Sally Struthers brings experience, humor to 'Hello, Dolly!'
If the cheerful and idealistic Gloria Stivic had stayed with us during the decades since "All in the Family," what would the intervening years have made of her?
Having won two Emmys playing Meathead's wife, Sally Struthers is back with the answer: The increasingly confident Gloria would have become matchmaker Dolly Levi, rendered sharper and more pragmatic by life's knocks but still every bit as warm and loving, and even more of a stitch. »Read Full Article
Milwaukee Symphony makes most of cathedral setting in concert
The phrase "working the room" clearly means different things to people.
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and associate music director Francesco Lecce-Chong moved their proverbial tent to the Cathedral of St. John on Friday evening and worked the room beautifully with a program of Pärt, Bach and Bruckner that was perfectly tailored to the acoustics and ambience of the space. »Read Full Article
Skaggs, Hornsby pair piano with frenetic fiddlin' around
From the carefully placed microphones to the stringed instruments in the hands of Ricky Skaggs and the six members of Kentucky Thunder, the stage of the Northern Lights Theater at Potawatomi Bingo Casino was clearly set Friday for an evening of bluegrass music.
Had that been the bill, it would have been a fine show of prodigious talent playing the music Skaggs has been mastering since his youth. But there in the middle of the stage was an unusual addition to bluegrass tradition: a grand piano and its own experimental master, Bruce Hornsby. »Read Full Article

Ryan Harris has warned England's batsmen he will be going "all guns blazing" during the second Ashes Test in Adelaide this week.
The 34-year-old took five wickets as Australia won comfortably in Brisbane and he insists he is ready to go again as the hosts look to go 2-0 ahead in the series.
Harris played second fiddle to Mitchell Johnson in the opening Test, but his importance is not to be under-estimated having impressed hugely when the teams met in England this year.
"I will be all guns blazing here," said Harris, who was quick to dismiss reports he was due to miss this week's game to ensure he was fresh for Perth.
"I am not going to miss a Test unless I have to.
"I have said since the start I am here to play five Tests. I had the turnaround in England and got through it okay."
He added: "I must admit, all the reports about me resting, I have not even had the conversation with 'Boof' [Australia coach Darren Lehmann] yet.
"He has not mentioned one word about me resting - which is good.
"I don't think going into a game holding me back is good.
"It is not what you do. You have to go in and bowl as if it is your last Test.
"If I was going in only to bowl 30-35 overs, I would not play.
"You can't have one bloke going half-hearted, because it puts pressure on the three other bowlers."
With Jonathan Trott returning home last week, England will reshuffle their batting order and Harris hopes Ian Bell ends up at number three - only to have a shot at him at the start of the England innings.
"I hope it will be Bell in there early, because it will give us a chance to get him out.
"Jonathan is a big loss, and we have got to make sure we capitalise on that and we are ready for whoever comes in.
"I want him [Bell] in there early. It gives him more time to get in, but gives us more time to have a crack at him and get him out earlier."

As the millennium approaches, the health care delivery system in the United States remains in a period of transformation. The commercialization of medicine has challenged the professional dominance of physicians.
Corporate organizations emerged under the assumption that the principles that defined US industry were applicable to health care. They offered efficiency through vertical and horizontal integration. Initially, tremendous cost reductions were achieved. Organizing provider services into competitive networks resulted in the lowest rate of health care expenditure growth in seven years: 4.4%.1 The market was ostensibly beginning to solve the problems of a system that had experienced explosive inflation and failed to provide services to the entire population.
The introduction of an active third party, however, fragmented fundamental relationships. Because physicians have a virtual monopoly over medical practice, they can exert enormous influence. This includes the right to define what constitutes a disease and how to treat it.2 Consequently, overuse of resources became a primary cost-driver. Managers were required to intercede in treatment decisions to control spending. The final denial rate of physician recommendations was no more than 3% overall and 1% for hospitalization and surgical requests.3 However, some of those failures to treat were the basis for the woeful tales retold to Congress this past summer.
Our health care system delivers 4 million babies, witnesses 762 million visits to physicians, and facilitates 539 million days in the hospital.4 But it does so at a cost of $1 trillion, 13.6% of the gross domestic product.1 A "patients' bill of rights" is about establishing a situation in which all members of the community can seek professional services and receive high-quality care at reasonable costs. By defining a standard of care, it promotes the development of innovative, cost-effective organizations that focus on clinical quality improvements, patient satisfaction, and access to information.
This month, MSJAMA considers the meaning of a "patients' bill of rights" from several viewpoints. Throughout the history of this country, physician-legislators have been active in securing rights in health care. This unique US claim to rights appears rooted in a culture of independence. In 1998, when the President of the United States issued an executive order defining a set of standards for treating individuals in federal health plans, he incited the political system to address the revolutionary changes in the health care delivery system. The resultant congressional efforts, however, became more of an attempt to secure consumer rights than patient rights. Furthermore, these political discussions focused on increased regulations to protect those with insurance and made little mention of how to solve the problem of the uninsured.

Cable show to feature Erie's Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong
"Snapped," a TV show that focuses on women accused of murder, is schedule to air an episode about Erie's Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong on Sunday at 9 p.m.
The show is on the Oxygen, or Channel 73 on Time Warner Cable in Erie. It is to include coverage of the pizza bomber case, in which Diehl-Armstrong was convicted of being part of the plot that ended with the bombing death of pizza deliveryman Brian Wells in Summit Township in 2003.
Crews for the show interviewed Jerry Clark, a retired FBI agent from Erie who was the lead investigator on the case, and Erie Times-News reporter Ed Palattella. They wrote the book "Pizza Bomber: The Untold Story of America's Most Shocking Bank Robbery."

A new release of the Maple T.A. MAA Placement Test Suite is now available.
The latest release takes advantage of the streamlined interface, accessibility from tablets, and other new features of Maple T.A. 10. It also includes new testing content to determine if your students understand the concepts needed for success in their algebra and precalculus courses; new parallel versions of the calculus concepts readiness test; and improved searching and browsing of testing content.
To learn more, visit What's New in Maple T.A. MAA Placement Test Suite 10.
I have a fairly old laptop, a Toshiba S10 Tecra, windows 7 64 bit and 4 Gb RAM. It has an NVidia Quadro NVS 150m video card inside and according to NVidia CUDA capable of a compute level to 1.1 which is ok for float[4] but not float[8]. Inititiating the computecabability in maple does indeed bring a score level of 1.1.
Doing any LinearAlgebra matrix calculations with CUDA enabled is maybe 5x's slower than with it disabled. I run into BLAS errors and screen blankouts at matrix values of 2000. The video driver is the latest from Toshiba (2010) but not NVidia (2014) I suppose there would be an increased performace with newer drivers but if I'm going to run into the same issue of slower calculations with CUDA enabled there's no point in even testing the newer drivers on an otherwise fine running machine.
Since it is a low end video card is CUDA even worthwhile, will I even notice a speed up with updated drivers?
We regularly host live webinars on a variety of topics for our customers, and we wanted to make this information available to the MaplePrimes community as well. We will be posting information about new webinars we think will be of interest approximately once per month.
Partnering with the MAA to Revolutionize Placement Testing
In this webinar, we will demonstrate how the Maple T.A. MAA Placement Test Suite can be used to ease the problem of placement testing and how it can benefit your campus in general.

An isometry of the Euclidean plane is a distance-preserving transformation of the plane. There are four types: translations, rotations, reflections, and glide reflections. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_plane_isometry#Classification_of_Euclidean_plane_isometries
Procedure AreIsometric checks two plane sets Set1 and Set2 and if there is an isometry of the plane mapping the first set to the second one, then the procedure returns true and false otherwise. Global variable T saves the type of isometry and all its parameters. For example, it returns the rotation center and rotation angle, etc.
Each of the sets Set1 and Set2 is the set (or list) consisting of the following objects in any combinations:
1) The points that are defined as a list of coordinates [х, y] .
2) Segments, which are defined as a set (or list) of two points {[x1, y1], [x2, y2]} or [[x1, y1], [x2, y2]] .
3) Curves, which should be defined as a list of points [[x1, y1], [x2, y2], ..., [xn, yn]].
Of course, if n = 2, then the curve is identical to the segment.
Code of the procedure:

I'm currently proctoring for my univeristy math dept. They ask me to put policy on testing website. Please help me how to do that? thanks,
i have two quotes :
You confuse science with engineering, publication with patents. Intellectual property law does not recognize ownership of scientific truth. Your theory is true, or it isn't. You don't 'own' it. An apple does not need Isaac Newton's permission to fall to the ground. The primary protections for inventions are trade secret and patents. The primary protection for other intellectual property is copyright, and wise choices in how you use it and publish it.
Yesterday I attended a lecture by Fran Allen, as part of the "David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo, Distinguished Lecture Series". Allen worked a IBM Research from 1957 to 2002, she was awarded the ACM's Turing Award in 2006. Here is her biography from Wikipedia (let's hope it is accurate).
Aside from some technical issues (why can't a room full of computer science professors and students successfully attach a laptop to a projector?) the talk was quite interesting. There were two main sections, the first discussed Allen's career at IBM and the second was about the future of computer science. Allen's work at IBM focused mostly on compilers and high performance computing. She made a few interesting comments about the importance of high performance computing. For example, one of the systems she worked on was designed and used to model the detonations of nuclear weapons. The development of this system ended the need for the United Stated to perform actual test detonations.
Maplesoft has just released a collection of new engineering products, including MapleSim 3, the latest version of our physical modeling tool. It includes a new hydraulics library, more electrical machines and improved solvers which expand the scope of models it can handle. It also comes with a new project manager, more diagnostic tools, a 3-D visualization preview feature, and other improvements to the interface which reduce the development time. See What's New in MapleSim 3 for details.
Good Afternoon,
Would anybody be kind to help me with the attached file. I have created procedures to calculate the Area, center of gravity , section modulus and moment of inertia of a cross section.
I'm testing the worksheet with an existing example from a text book, and the results are as follows
Area = 75*in2
Zxxtop = 119.219*in3
Zxxbott = 133.245*in3
Ixx = 629.212*in4
Zyyleft = 88.583*in3
Zyyright = 88.583*in3
Iyy = 442.917*in4
xbar = 4.722*in
ybar = 5.0*in
To evaluate some real integrals I use the 'assume' instruction to make sure all the quantities are real. But Maple 12 can't seem to deduce the obvious inequalities from this - testing for them gives a FAIL result. Here is a minimal example:
assume(X,real, Y,real, w>0);
is( (X+w)^2 + Y^2 >= 0);
Hi i am having difficulty converting a text file consisting of words into ascii code. using maple and vice versa.
I dont know how to.
My notepad text is "(testing)" and i wanted maple to show me "testing" in ascii code but i just dnt knw how to get it to do it.
Can someone please help me i would be very gratefull
Thank u
Hey there everybody. I've been working on the Project Euler (projecteuler.net) problems for a while now, using Maple or J to solve the problems. Some of the problems involve using palindromes or testing for palindromes. I know I can convert the number into a string, reverse it with StringTools, and then parse it back into a number, but that requires a lot of time and resources (the PE problems should be solved in under 1 minute).

War generates unique and unexpected experiences in civilians' ordinary lives. But war can also exist as a surprisingly uneventful setting for everyday working lives. At the European Social Sciences and History Conference three talks encouraged me to consider ways in which war work impacted civilians' ordinary lives through memories that reclaim, forget and negotiate popular experiences of the Second World War.Read More
Over the weekend of 18-20 March an international conference took place in Leeds, focusing on resistance to the First World War. The conference, which I helped to organise, brought together academics, community groups, poets and storytellers from across the globe, including delegates who had travelled from Australia and the USA. The conference was envisaged following the suggestion that the prominent narratives during the First World War Centenary were limited to stories of those who had actively participated in the war effort. Stories of resistance to the war were missing from dominant narratives of remembrance and the conference sought to question what war resistance was, how acts of resistance were undertaken, and the significance of war resistance today. The presence of both academic and community focused research on resistance worked particularly well in addressing the many different facets of resistance; including the theoretical underpinnings of pacifism, international and transnational movements for peace, individual acts of conscious and unconscious resistance as well as national and local networks of resistance.
The conference saw a diverse range of papers presented, which covered the themes of gender and resistance, the experience of individual anti-war campaigners and the relationship between the state and war opponents. There were a number of thought-provoking papers which looked to expand our understanding of resistance to war by reinterpreting shell shock, war trauma and malingering as resistance. One of the keynotes, by Benjamin Ziemann, argued that the selfish acts of resistance such as malingering and self-mutilation were central to halting the German military machine. Other keynotes included a paper on Tolstoy's conceptions of pacifism by Sarah Hudspith and an examination of the wartime experience of Isabella Ford, the Leeds-based feminist, socialist and pacifist, by June Hannam.
The second day of the conference was a public-facing event held at Leeds City Museum at which there was a variety of stalls, exhibitions, performances and talks. There was a particular focus on conscientious objection, with Lois Bibbings delivering a presentation on the parallels between representations of suffrage activists and conscientious objectors (COs) and Cyril Pearce talking about his CO database, which is available through the IWM 'Lives of the Great War' project, which can be found here: https://livesofthefirstworldwar.org, and the mapping of local communities of resistance. There were also a number of films and cultural interpretations of resistance to war, including poetry responding to the experiences of COs and a performance by storyteller Simon Heywood based on the first-hand accounts, letters of diaries of objectors.
Overall the conference shed new light on the multi-faceted nature of resistance to the First World War and raised important questions about what counts as resistance and its significance today. IWM holds a number of collections on these themes, including an extensive collection of the personal papers of COs and recorded interviews with men and women who actively opposed the war. These documents can be searched through the online catalogue which can be found using this link: http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections and the recorded interviews can be accessed online.Read More
Since 2009 IWM has been running a project to collect the experiences of British military personnel serving in contemporary conflicts. Until last year, the dominant experience was the war in Afghanistan. But as this conflict began to draw down, British forces were deployed to help with other pressing concerns.
The latest IWM display, the fourth in the Contemporary Conflicts Programme, focuses on two different, concurrent deployments. Operation Gritrock was the British military's contribution to the Ebola crisis in Sierra Leone. Operation Shader is the British element of the fight against ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham), the Islamic extremist group, in the Middle East.
As with the previous displays, Fighting Extremes utilises material gathered directly from personnel who have served on these operations. The IWM team has conducted interviews and gathered film footage, photographs and other artefacts at locations ranging from Cyprus to Belfast. A selection of this material forms the basis of the new display.
As a humanitarian crisis, the outbreak of the Ebola epidemic in West Africa in 2014 was not something that had obvious military connotations. Yet such was the rapid nature of the outbreak, only the military could help to provide the necessary speedy response. British military personnel were sent to Sierra Leone from September 2014, including engineers to help build medical facilities, medics to help staff them and infantry to provide security.
Included in the new display are interview clips with Corporal Anna Cross, an Army reservist nurse who was the third Briton to contract Ebola. A selection of objects, including an improvised device for washing hands and the wellington boots of another healthcare worker who contracted Ebola, show how difficult the disease was to control. Thankfully Sierra Leone was declared free of Ebola in November 2015 and Operation Gritrock was brought to an end.
A different form of danger is faced by personnel deployed on the ongoing Operation Shader. As part of a wider coalition against ISIS, British forces have launched air strikes, gathered surveillance and trained local opposition forces in Iraq, with air strikes recently extended to Syria.
Material in the display includes the experiences of Royal Air Force air crew flying aircraft ranging from GR4 Tornados to MQ-9 Reapers, the latter unmanned aircraft piloted remotely from the UK. Also on display are interviews and objects associated with infantry stationed in northern Iraq to train Kurdish Peshmerga forces, who are fighting ISIS on the ground.
By looking at these contrasting operations, this new display shows how Britain's armed forces meet a range of challenges. As recently retired General Sir Nick Parker reflects, modern conflict has "shifted from an understanding of warfare as a bi-polar affair with two sides fighting each other out to a massively complicated multi-national, multi-agency security requirement…Defence is only a part of security in this very complex world".
Fighting Extremes is on at IWM London until 13 November 2016.

On the evening of November 20 1983, 100 million Americans settled down to watch Nicholas Meyer's made-for-TV film The Day After. The film's focus was a familiarly normal community in rural Eastern Kansas in the lead up to, and aftermath of, nuclear war. It is shocking and arrestingly bleak viewing; moreover it was, and remained for years afterwards, the most highly rated TV film in US broadcast history. Its importance however, lies less in its status as a landmark media event than in what it demonstrates about the cultural imagination in the 1980s. The deterioration in relations between NATO and the Warsaw Pact raised for a new generation the meaningful prospect of nuclear apocalypse. The Day After is only one example of a notable manifestation of a contemporaneous burgeoning – and now largely forgotten – paranoia in the popular culture of the time. It's my conviction – and the focus for my PhD research – that such fictional responses don't just reflect the paranoia that was a product of the period, but that that they ultimately made a necessary and significant contribution to the eventual outcome.Read More
As we look forward to the New Year and begin to plan the various projects which will keep us busy over 2016, it is always useful to take a step back and consider the progress already made. For over forty years, IWM has preserved one of the most important sound archives of its kind in the world. Established in 1972, the Department of Sound Records, as it was then called, was an offspring of the museum's Library which at that point included a handful of gramophone records. The following decades saw the collection grow in size until, following a major restructuring in 2010, it was merged with the Department of Documents to form the Documents and Sound Section, with myself appointed as the new Section Head.Read More
2015 has been a poignant year. Seventy years after the end of the Second World War, veterans and their families came together throughout the summer to reflect, remember and renew their commitment to sharing the stories of wartime.Read More
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, staff at IWM engaged with popular forms of history in order to publicise its collections, exhibitions and research facilities. In particular, the use of film in understanding history was increasingly significant in attracting public audiences, and as a subject for debate in universities.Read More
'It took an army to make this exhibition', Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett told her audience and 'having scholars in charge of each section had been the key to the Museum's success'. In May I attended a conference seven months after the opening of the core exhibition of POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. At the conclusion of the eight- year project, those involved in the Museum's creation were keen to open debate on what had worked well and what less so, and to identify the gaps in Polish Jewish history requiring further historical effort. The core exhibition offered a starting point for that discussion.Read More
The official history of the Cold War holds that the military and political divide between Eastern and Western blocs was cemented in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War as allied relationships cooled.Read More
On 1st August 2009 I visited Warsaw to take part in the 65th anniversary commemorations. The occasion was organised by the ambitiously conceived Museum of the Warsaw Uprising which tells the story of this epic event. On 1st August 1944 soldiers of the Polish Home Army, supported by citizens of Warsaw, rose up against the German occupiers. After five years of occupation, "Operation Bagration" had brought the Red Army to the gates of the Polish capital.Read More
