Countdown Confidential
By Sal Paolantonio
Expect Giants to bring the heat: Giants coach Tom Coughlin didn't waste any words. He never does. "I expect Michael Vick to play," said Coughlin, who made it clear he is not game-planning for any other quarterback.
It does not matter who is playing quarterback for the Eagles on Sunday. If it's Vick or Mike Kafka, who could be making his first NFL start, or Vince Young, who seems to be partially immobilized due to a lingering hamstring injury. The Giants are going to take a very aggressive approach. Translation: blitz, early and often.
Last year, the Giants' defense set the blueprint on how to attack the Eagles' passing game, particularly Vick, particularly with defensive backs.
In the two games against Philadelphia, the Giants sent at least one corner or safety on a blitz at Vick on 35 pass plays. When that happened, Vick completed just 42.1 percent of his passes, according to ESPN Stats & Information. His yards per attempt on those occasions: just 5.5.
Now compare that to when the rest of the league sent a defensive back on a blitz at Vick: His completion rate was 54.8 percent, with 8.6 yards per attempt.
Problem is the Giants lost twice to the Eagles last year, including a demoralizing 38-31 loss on Dec. 19 that featured New York coughing up a 21-point fourth-quarter lead. The exclamation point: DeSean Jackson's pyrotechnic 65-yard walk-off punt return. So, with an eye on snapping a six-game losing streak to Andy Reid, Coughlin's point of emphasis could not be more clear:
"The theme we had throughout the preseason was to finish," he said. "This is something we have presented to our players this week."
MVP Watch
By Mike Sando
The MVP race could not be clearer at the top.
The New England Patriots' Tom Brady leads the league in NFL passer rating, Total QBR and many related categories, including passing yards, yards per attempt, completions, attempts (tied), longest pass completion and touchdown passes (tied). His team is 2-0 and among the NFL's very best.
The league has named Brady its top AFC offensive player for each of the first two weeks, the first time one player has won that 28-year-old award twice to open a season. Brady won the AFC's weekly honors twice in 2007 and 2010, winning MVP following both of those seasons.
1. Tom Brady, QB, New England Patriots
The Patriots are one of three teams without a dropped pass this season. Receivers get much of the credit for that, but Brady's accuracy makes life easier for them. No one wants to let down the quarterback when passes are delivered with almost perfect precision. Brady is leading the NFL in passing yards and YPA while completing 71.6 percent of his passes.
2. Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers
Rodgers and Drew Brees are the only players with more than three TD passes and no interceptions through the first two games. Rodgers has now avoided throwing even one INT in 11 of his last 14 games, counting playoffs. He has 30 TD passes with four picks in his last 13 games, counting playoffs. Not bad for a player who didn't even make the Pro Bowl last season.
3. Drew Brees, QB, New Orleans Saints
Brees has gone without an INT in the opening two games for the second season in a row. His turnover problems began to surface with a two-pick game in Week 3 last season. He threw at least one in each of the final 12 regular-season games of 2010. Keeping down the turnovers this season will significantly enhance his credentials.
Watch 'Sunday Countdown'
Sunday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET, ESPN
• Last December, then-Giants punter Matt Dodge punted directly to Eagles return ace DeSean Jackson, whose ensuing touchdown gave Philadelphia the NFC East crown and targeted Dodge with criticism and ridicule. Jeremy Schaap reports on Dodge's feelings about the mishap and what he's been doing since.
• Harvard grad Ryan Fitzpatrick has the Bills and their high-flying offense off to a 2-0 start. We talk to the QB to see what advantages and disadvantages there are to being a Harvard graduate in the NFL.
• Tom Brady is arguably the best quarterback in the game. But it might not have turned out exactly as it did for Brady and the Patriots -- if not for a career-changing play 10 years ago. The Mayne Event looks back.
Fantasy Corner
Week 3 rankings
RiceRay Rice: Rice is still the best weapon on the Ravens, and whether it's on the ground or through the air, teams will be hard-pressed to stop him, let alone a Rams defense that has allowed 130-plus yards to opposing running backs in Weeks 1 and 2.

Highlights | Wolverine Invitational Page
Site: Ann Arbor, Mich. (Canham Natatorium)
Event: Wolverine Invitational (Day 3 of 3)
Score: #18 Michigan 13, Grove City 0
Records: U-M (9-10), GC (4-4)
Next U-M Event: Saturday, March 23 -- vs. Colorado State (Tempe, Ariz.), 10 a.m. MST
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 18-ranked University of Michigan water polo team wrapped up its annual Wolverine Invitational with a 13-0 shutout victory against Grove City on Sunday morning (March 17) at Canham Natatorium. The victory capped a perfect home weekend for the Wolverines.
It was also the 300th career win for head coach Matt Anderson, who improved to 300-116 over his 12 seasons at Michigan.
Nine different Wolverines scored goals in the contest. Freshman Julia Riemersma (Kentwood, Mich./East Kentwood HS) registered her first collegiate hat trick, while fellow freshmen Bryce Beckwith (Sacramento, Calif./St. Francis HS) and Gabriella Serure (Coral Gables, Fla./Ransom Everglades HS) netted two goals apiece. Senior Kiki Golden (Danville, Calif./Monte Vista HS) extended her scoring streak to six games, posting one goal and three assists.
Senior goalkeeper Alex Adamson (Coronado, Calif./Coronado HS) started the contest and earned the victory, but freshmen Nikki Baron (Okemos, Mich./Okemos HS) and Hayden Green (El Segundo, Calif./El Segundo HS) posted the majority of Michigan's saves, combining for five stops through the final three quarters. The shutout victory was the first for the Wolverines this season.
Michigan scored the bulk of its goals in the first half, jumping out to a quick 7-0 advantage in the first quarter before adding thee more in the second frame. Beckwith netted the game's first two goals in the opening minute, while Serure scored twice in quick succession in the second, the latter on a one-touch shot in front midway through the frame.
Riemersma scored all three of U-M's second-half tallies in similar style, netting one midway through the third frame before two more late in the fourth. She wrapped up the hat trick with a pair of goals from the post, including one on the rebound, sending the shot to the upper-left corner of the net.
The Wolverines will return to the road next weekend, heading to Tempe, Ariz., for the Sun Devil Invitational. Michigan will open the tournament with games against Colorado State (10 a.m.), Pomona (1 p.m.) and Cal-Baptist (5:30 p.m.) on Saturday (March 23) before closing out against La Verne at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday (March 24) at ASU's Mona Plummer Aquatic Center.

New research suggests that very preterm babies, born between 28 and 31 weeks, could benefit from skin-to-skin cuddling with their mother before and during painful procedures such as a heel lance.
Celeste Johnston of McGill University, Montreal, Canada and colleagues have already shown that skin-to-skin contact, known as kangaroo mother care (KMC) helps babies born at 32 to 36 weeks to recover from pain. They hoped to determine whether KMC could reduce pain and aid recovery in even younger preterm babies born at 28 to 31 weeks. It was previously thought that such young babies were not developed enough to benefit from comfort strategies.
They carried out a randomized crossover trial to see whether such babies could bounce back from pain following a heel lance blood test, which involves pricking the baby's heel to obtain a blood sample. The team asked mothers to hold their babies for 15 minutes prior to and throughout a heel lance procedure. On another occasion the same babies in the trial were treated as normal and simply swaddled in the prone position in the incubator before and after the procedure.
The team was able to assess the babies' pain based on the Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP), which takes into account facial expressions, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels. They measured the PIPP just before the heel lance and at 30-second intervals during and after the procedure.
They found that PIPP scores at 90 seconds after the lance procedure were much lower in the KMC babies than in those without skin-to-skin contact. The facial expression of pain was shown less than half the time in the babies treated with KMC.
Babies receiving KMC also recovered from the pain within a couple of minutes, whereas the incubator babies were still suffering at more than three minutes. This delay could make all the difference to the health of a very preterm baby - born before 32 weeks - who needs almost constant incubator care.
"The pain response in very preterm neonates appears to be reduced by skin-to-skin maternal contact," says Johnston, "This response is not as powerful as it is in older preterm babies, but the shorter recovery time using KMC is important in helping maintain the baby's health." Johnston also points out that the approach could also have benefits for the mother whose parental role diminishes while her baby is in intensive care.

News Release
Council Roundup: Council supports more off-leash areas
City Council members on Monday expressed support for additional off-leash dog areas in various parks around the city.
Responding to growing requests by residents for more off-leash areas, the council also asked the city's Parks and Community Services Board to further review options on how the city could provide off-leash areas in the downtown area, including the popular Bellevue Downtown Park. Downtown has become the city's fastest growing residential neighborhood. The current residential population is expected to nearly triple by 2020 to 14,000.
Bellevue currently manages two off-leash facilities at Robinswood Park, and dogs are allowed in all Bellevue parks and trails while on leash, except at beach parks during swimming season, synthetic turf areas and at the Bellevue Botanical Garden.
The council's discussion came following a study by the city's Parks staff that examined criteria used to locate off-leash facilities and the geographic distribution of those areas in the city. The study explored the possibility of an off-leash area in the downtown, whether the current Robinswood facility should be expanded, whether a new off-leash area should be part of Eastgate Park and whether trial periods for new off-leash areas should be established.
No date has yet been set for the Parks Board to report back to the council. Feedback: Glenn Kost, Planning Manager, 425-452-5258 or email@example.com

With all due respect, I would never use a short cut that deals with
this ordering of missing values. First, I personally do not keep track
of that in my head (that is to say, I don't know Stata that well,
after all). Second, this is something programmers refer to as "strong
coupling", as it relies on the knowledge of highly technical details
of internal implementation of the missing values that may or may not
be legal to use and stable in different versions. There's arguably
legacy code that does use this ordering inside the official Stata
code, so Stata Corp is unlikely to change that, but there is no
guarantee that in Stata 45 it will still be that way. From this
stability and independence of implementation perspective, the function
-missing()- is provided exactly for the reason of being able to
correctly deal with whatever the system of missing values is in that
Stata 45 version. Third, strong coupling also means that if somebody
else with little knowledge of Stata were to use that code, and port it
into say R or Python or whichever other software that has a different
system of missing values (say, the missing value is MINUS infinity,
not the PLUS infinity, or is not-a-number and cannot be compared to a
number), then this snippet of code will produce errors at best, and
totally wrong results at worst.
Fourth, I type fast enough to put -if !missing(y)- in my do-files in
about as much time as it would take me to type -if y < .-.

A notice of disciplinary action was issued in late October to revoke the assisted living facility license of Hotel Pawnee, but the order is not final and the hotel remains open.
A hearing is set for Jan. 30 to consider the license.
If the Hotel Pawnees license is revoked, people could choose to continue to live there, Augustine said.
City Administrator Jim Hawks is assessing the financial situation of the hotel, which lost its central heaters on Dec. 19.
The staff has scrambled to install temporary heaters.
If the license is finally revoked, the hotel could continue as an independent living center, which does not require a license, but would have to stop providing health-related services as an assisted living facility, Augustine said.
Augustine said residents and/or their guardians are decision-makers when choosing a place to live that works best for each individual.
Augustine said other assisted living facilities in the North Platte area are available. She said Region II Behavioral Health may be able to assist residents and/or their guardians find alternatives.

IDEAS WANTED Rockaway
The Stupidest, Time Wasting Intersections in Rockaway, Part 1
Let's face it, one of the most precious things in our lives is time itself. Once it is gone, we are never able to get it back. No matter how much power or money we have, we cannot buy more time. When someone or something wastes our time, we're not happy, so let's share some ideas on how to waste less time and be happier! In addition to featuring ideas to improve our shoreline, the Ideas Wanted column is introducing another topic that is near and dear to my heart, identifying and eliminating the stupidest, most time wasting intersections in Rockaway.
Let's face it, anyone who drives on the City's mind-numbing roads has suffered the indignities of hitting potholes, bumper to bumper traffic and the lack of parking spaces. The last thing we want to do is sit at a red light knowing that no other car is going to come through the intersection from the side street. In other words, wasting time for no reason. If you have a pulse it's going to piss you off, or at least it should.
I will prime the pump with two notorious time wasting intersections on Beach Channel Drive within just three blocks of each other. Ironically, both of these dopey traffic signals are in front of schools. I actually did a bit of field work to gather my facts for this report. At about 6:30 p.m. on Monday, February 25th, I first rode my bike down to Beach Channel High School and spent about 15 minutes at the intersection of Beach 101st and Beach Channel Drive. My first observation was that 101st Street dead ends at BCD and is one way going AWAY from BCD towards the El. So no car will ever be entering the intersection from that direction. Secondly, if a westbound driver wants to make a left onto Beach 101st St. then they can simply wait for traffic to clear and then make the turn, the same way we do it at hundreds of other intersections in Rockaway.
I stuck around for more than half dozen cycles of the light, scribbling notes with one hand while operating my iPhone stop watch application with the other. Once I had the information I needed, I pedaled west for three blocks and found myself in front of Scholars Academy. There I dismounted and spent about the same amount of time recording the length of the red light and green light cycles, the number of cars, and the number of (non-smiling) people in the cars. I can only imagine that some of those BCD drivers waiting patiently for the red light were hoping that at least one car would come out of Beach 104th Street to make their stop worthwhile. But none ever did, at least while I was there.
When I got home I plugged my numbers into a spreadsheet, created some simple formulas and then just sat there, staring at the screen, dumbfounded. Intuitively I knew that we were wasting our lives away at these useless traffic lights (and many others), but I had no idea to what extent. I won't bore you with the details but we lose an incredible amount of time and gas. And speaking of time, it's about time city planners stopped wasting our time and installed smart lights!
You are encouraged to comment on this non-scientific research and more importantly, let me know about intersections that get your blood boiling. I'll even do the leg work and the math. Together maybe we can make Rockaway's intersections a little less stupid.

Daniel Brigman
30 pages, 8.5x11" B&W
"Meconium is the first bowel movements of an infant, composed of materials ingested in the uterus," writes Brigman as to overarching theme of this release. Exquisite stark journey depicted through faint indications of form/content, often obscured un/intentionally and also coherent enough to generate hidden visions; interposed throughout with hand-written poetry collected over the years as an opaque narrative of loss and degradation of human relationships. Akin to a zine of Merhige's film journey "Begotten" with some perhaps similar themes/asthetics. For the faint of heart.

An innovative new training program from the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing will bring mental health services to underserved areas of Maryland by providing advanced training in psychiatric care to nurse practitioners (NPs) working mostly in southern and western parts of the state and on its Eastern Shore.
This one-year Post-Master's Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing Certificate Program (PMHNP) combines online classes with on-site training at hospitals and clinics. Funded by a two-year grant from the Maryland Health Services Cost Review Commission, administered by the Maryland Higher Education Commission, the program will welcome its first 10 students in fall 2014. Later classes will likely be capped at 15 students.
"The beauty of this program is that we can train nurse practitioners that are already working with patients in rural areas in a more advanced level of psychiatric practice," says Karan Kverno, PhD, PMHCNS-BC, PMHNP-BC, Assistant Professor in the Department of Acute and Chronic Care. "The training is all online but we are developing contacts in outlying areas where the NPs are living so they work part-time and keep up their practices while they are being trained."
The program meets a pressing need for more efficient delivery of mental health services. Depression, anxiety, and substance abuse darken the lives of millions of Americans but like other mental disorders, these conditions often go undiagnosed and untreated--particularly in rural areas with few psychiatric care providers.
About one-third of people in need of mental health care received it from their primary care providers, yet very few primary care providers -- whether physicians or nurse practitioners -- receive special mental health care training.
The implementation of the Affordable Care Act in 2014 will increase access to mental and substance abuse services to an estimated 6 million to 10 million Americans, swamping an already burdened system. "Many of these people will come in through primary care providers," says Kverno. "And the workforce is very strained in terms of psych care providers."
In Maryland, approximately 62,000 children and adolescents live with serious mental health conditions, including autism, ADHD, anxiety and depression, and substance abuse. Those children are at a much higher risk of dropping out of school or becoming incarcerated.
One in five older adults also requires psychiatric services, but there is an extreme shortage of geriatric mental health care providers. Veterans too are underserved, Kverno says. "Access to mental health care in the VA health care system can be very slow."
The Hopkins program will help alleviate this problem by training NPs to screen, identify and (where appropriate) treat mental disorders in primary care settings. "You don't treat everything," Kverno says. "You screen, identify, and determine if a patient needs referral to a specialist. If it's something the provider is qualified to treat themselves, they do."
Advanced courses in the neurobiological basis of mental and addiction disorders and psychopharmacology, psychotherapeutic frameworks and modalities and psychiatric diagnosis, symptom and illness management, and health assessment and management will provide the theoretical backbone of the program. Two clinical courses in which students work under the guidance of local psychiatrists and other mental health providers will round out the accelerated one-year curriculum.
"Everyone who will be admitted to the program is already an NP, so we'll be able to streamline the program," Kverno says. "We are building on the knowledge students already have." Even so, she points out, "they'll be working really hard."
Nurses themselves recognize the need for more advanced training in providing mental health care. "I was just at a national organization of nurse practitioner faculty recently and faculty were saying that they wished we had more psychiatric training," says Kverno. She herself has worked as a psychiatric nurse practitioner since 2005.
The World Health Organization and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services are also focusing more on integrative health care, Kverno says. And with the expected surge of newly insured Americans, primary care providers will have a greater need than ever to screen, identify, and treat not just substance abuse but a wide range of psychiatric disorders. "We are going to have a large influx of people into the health care system with mental health needs," Kverno explains. "Every professional group needs to figure out how they can help with this big need."

Another bad deal from our Galtian overlords
While most of Congress was bending over backwards to suck Grover Norquists kneecaps, you probably missed this little tidbit from our legislative betters on Capitol Hill:
Every right-thinking person abhors child pornography. To combat it, legislators have brought through committee a poorly conceived, over-broad Congressional bill, The Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011. It is arguably the biggest threat to civil liberties now under consideration in the United States. The potential victims: everyone who uses the Internet.
The good news? It hasn't gone before the full House yet.
The bad news: it already made it through committee. And history shows that in times of moral panic, overly broad legislation has a way of becoming law. In fact, a particular moment comes to mind.
That name is what brought the anecdote back to me. A better name for the child pornography bill would be The Encouragement of Blackmail by Law Enforcement Act. At issue is how to catch child pornographers. It's too hard now, say the bill's backers, and I can sympathize. It's their solution that appalls me: under language approved 19 to 10 by a House committee, the firm that sells you Internet access would be required to track all of your Internet activity and save it for 18 months, along with your name, the address where you live, your bank account numbers, your credit card numbers, and IP addresses you've been assigned.
Tracking the private daily behavior of everyone in order to help catch a small number of child criminals is itself the noxious practice of police states. Said an attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation: "The data retention mandate in this bill would treat every Internet user like a criminal and threaten the online privacy and free speech rights of every American." Even more troubling is what the government would need to do in order to access this trove of private information: ask for it.
I kid you not — that's it.
As written, The Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011 doesn't require that someone be under investigation on child pornography charges in order for police to access their Internet history — being suspected of any crime is enough. (It may even be made available in civil matters like divorce trials or child custody battles.) Nor do police need probable cause to search this information. As Rep. James Sensenbrenner says, (R-Wisc.) "It poses numerous risks that well outweigh any benefits, and I'm not convinced it will contribute in a significant way to protecting children."
Among those risks: blackmail.
This is how our right to privacy dies-they wrap it up in a nice shiny wrapper and tell us it is for our own good. Jph Cole made a great point a couple of days back: "I can't wait to see if the loudmouth "freedom" lovers in the tea party actually come out on the side of freedom. Although they are probably too focussed on keeping the Koch's taxes low and making sure Michelle doesn't have too many calories for lunch."
Where is their outrage about this? Not a peep to be heard-it gets in the way of making the rich even richer.

This is the sphere that you inhabit. I'm one hell of a Galtian, despise government, hate big regulators, feel nothing but contempt for the law as laid down by the loose interpreters of the Constitution.
Skippy's this is your law.
This is what you really want. Regulations take my privacy away, oh my.
It's not enough that the big law take my money, it should track every aspect of my banking, thinking, writing, etc.

How not your law?
You argue that the state has every right to take as much of my money as it wants or I go to jail. Now the state demands all your information. Who believes that the state is entitled and empowered to make such demands? You do.
I rest my case.

The two are nothing alike. Taxes are an obligation laid forth by law-and there are a variety of ways to levy them. They do not have to be income taxes, they can be in the form of excise taxes etc. Like it or not-some level of taxation is necessary to ensure we have a civil society.
You can choose not to pay them-with the attendent penalties, of course. But taxes do not violate the consititution. After all-youo can vote in people who will repeal them. And I have never said it can take as much of your money as it wants to-I am simply saying that if we are to have taxation as we must, it should fall fairly on those according to ability to pay. Repealing the Bush Tax cuts is probably not going to increase your tax burden on the federal level all that much. If it does-then we should get to know each other better-because it means you have bucks.
But this is a violation of the first and 4th amendments. Pure and simple.

Because LCS was a power point fantasy-that many smarter people than me tried to tell our naval leadership was a mistake. Particularly when there were good plans on the table to upgrade the FFG's and Spruances-and there are several excellent European frigate designs that we could have built under license.

Yes once you accept that giveaway of the Constitutional rights we had until the 16th amendment but what the hell, let's give away the 1st and 4th too. 50% of the people are now feral and pay no tax and care nothing at all about the Constitution or good governance as long as Obama keeps their bills paid from his "stash". What do you imagine they care now about your privacy issues? You got the guns, you got the money, what are holding on to with your cold dead hand now? Is the the vaunted 9th Circuit going to back up the right of the people to know all about everything that happens on line, not in the name of the Patriot Act but rather just to assert the right that if there be porn surfing, panty sniffing perverts out there, we all have a right to know about it?
such a liberal and progressive point of view is hard to escape.
Take credit for it Skippies this is right down your alley. A law you can support since it empowers the state!

ENIAC: The Triumph and Tragedies of the World's First Computer. Scott McCartney. 272 pp. Walker and Company, 1999. $23.
Howard Aiken: Portrait of a Computer Pioneer. I. Bernard Cohen. 412 pp. The MIT Press, 1999. $34.95.
Scott McCartney has created a fascinating personalized history of John Mauchly and J. A. Presper Eckert's development of the eniac, the first digital, general-purpose electronic computer. By concentrating on the human side of the development and its consequences rather than on technical aspects, this book follows very much in the tradition of other recent popular histories of corporate success and failure in the computer field. It is based on documents from the archives of several institutions, interviews with surviving participants, personal papers of both Mauchly and Eckert and other previously unexamined sources.
Mauchly and Eckert met at a War Department-sponsored electronics course at the University of Pennsylvania in 1941. Casual conversations between them during that course led them to conclude that a fully electronic calculator was a feasible project and should be attempted. Aware by chance of their ideas, a young Army mathematician, Herman Goldstein, was instrumental in procuring funding for Penn for what came to be known as the eniac project, for Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer. Despite the title, McCartney devotes only about one-third of the book to the three-year development of the eniac and more than half to the repercussions of this achievement over the next three decades—personal, business, legal and historical. McCartney clearly projects what might have been: Philadelphia, not Silicon Valley, as the computer center of the world; RCA or EMCC, not IBM, DEC and Apple, as major computer companies; and Eckert and Mauchly as multimillionaires like Gates, Jobs and Cray.
Despite their 12-year difference in age, Mauchly and Eckert formed a well-balanced team with abundant energy, an enthusiasm for creating working electrical devices and a broad and accurate vision of the computer's potential. Their failure to reap financial rewards and historical credit for their technical success is shown to arise from their poor marketing and business skills, from their penchant for building devices rather than writing about their work and from the abilities of adversarial lawyers. The tragedies cited in the subtitle of the book include suicides, a drowning of a wife, financial losses, invalidation of the eniac patent and numerous misappropriations of credit; whereas the triumph refers not only to the technical success of the eniac itself but also to the subsequent success of the whole computer industry and the enormous impact these machines have had on the lives of all of us today.
Howard Aiken: Portrait of a Computer Pioneer is an appropriate companion to eniac. Aiken (1900– 1973) was an imposing figure, both in physical presence and in personality. He has been characterized as a maverick, hard-driving, assertive, commanding, blunt, considerate, innovative, influential, sensitive, kind, thoughtful, generous, acerbic, humorous, honest, stubborn, bitter, colorful and stormy. He was all these and more. Raised in a poverty-stricken, one-parent family, Aiken put himself through college but was unable to enter graduate school until age 32. Nonetheless, his abilities were quickly recognized. In 1941, only two years following his physics Ph.D. from Harvard University, he was appointed a tenured, associate professorship there, and five years later became full professor. He was one of the first to introduce graduate courses and degree programs in computer science and attracted a succession of brilliant students who also became leaders in the new field. Aiken conceived the possibility of a calculating machine while working on his master's degree and conceptualized its architecture and general mode of operation. The Mark I, or Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator (ASCC), was realized in 1943, more than five years after Aiken approached IBM seeking capital and engineering support for his conception. Controversy continues to this day over who contributed what and who should get the credit, but clearly neither IBM nor Aiken could have succeeded without the other. Aiken also had strong interests in the history of science, in business as well as scientific applications of computers and in teaching and mentoring students and younger co-workers.
I. Bernard Cohen, Harvard emeritus professor of the history of science, is eminently qualified to produce this book. He was Aiken's colleague, is co-editor of a multivolume series on the history of computing and is well connected in the history of science and technology. The sources used for the book included a two-day interview with Aiken himself; discussions with former students, friends, professional colleagues and his third wife, Mary Aiken; the archives of Harvard and IBM; L. Saphire's interviews in IBM's oral history project; and reviews of Aiken's contributions in the 1983 Pioneer Day at the National Computer Conference.
This biography is instructive, entertaining and stimulating in many ways. This reviewer regrets, therefore, the need to record some disappointments. The book concentrates on Aiken's professional life and says nothing about his private life—hobbies, recreations and family. And the editing and compilation of the book also leave much to be desired. For example, more than three dozen errors remain in the final edition.—Jack H. Westbrook, Brookline Technologies, Ballston Spa, New York

Trends in Nail EducationNail technology is as hot and happening as ever, with high-end services sought out by celebs and civilians alike. Kirsten Dunst may prefer white nails with newspaper print while Courtney Cox Arquette opts for textures and patterns created by sponges in red, silver, and gold paint (according to Celebrity Beauty Secret Goldmine), but no matter what the design, big names like these will shell out big bucks to keep their nails healthy, beautiful, and in style.
If you aspire to that kind of business and truly want to send your nail tech career soaring (and who doesn't?!), commit to staying abreast of the latest industry developments and continuing your nail education.
When you choose to pursue additional nail education, you'll be in good company. Many respondents to the 2007 Nailpro Salon Survey expressed a strong desire for continuing nail education in all areas, especially in gels; acrylic application; nail art; business; spa-level manicures and pedicures; and electric files. And according to NAILS Magazine 2007 industry stats and trends, you can anticipate the availability of college-level salon specialization courses as well as far-reaching curriculum designed by manufacturers and independent outlets in the not-so-distant future. Highly specialized technical courses in areas like medical pedicures, anti-aging treatments, and solution-oriented natural nail care based on biology and chemistry will crop up as well. And salon owners will be pursuing business degrees, while more MBAs will make their way into the nail technology industry and start their own salons.
The fact is, professional nail education is available all around you, in various classroom settings or online, with courses that are product-related or not at all. Education opportunities available to nail techs include technical workshops or seminars through schools or manufacturers; mentoring relationships; trade shows featuring guest artists or teachers; private classes in salons, spas, conference centers, and cruise ships; nail competitions that help you hone your skills; books, DVDs, and nail tech trade magazines; and many more.
Mentoring, for instance, is a critical component of continuing nail education. You might find a mentor from your school's nail technology program, a more experienced nail tech in your salon, or on an online mentoring forum. Mentoring in nail technology, as in any industry, can raise your level of job satisfaction as well as your marketability.
If you're committed to growing your business, set yourself apart from the competition with continuing nail education. Who knows? The next nail tech to the stars could be you.

A beautiful ground floor apartment situated in Los Narejos just a 5 minue drive away from Murcia airport with two sun terraces ensuring you get the sun or shade all day long. The beach is within easy walking distance (approx 10 to 15 mins). It has 2 bedrooms both with 2 single beds in each. There is an American style kitchen with everything you may need provided. There are ceiling fans in both bedrooms and in the lounge. The supermarket and shops are just a 5 minute stroll away. Everything you need to make your holiday more comfortable is supplied at the apartment (except beach towels which can now be hired at 5 euros per person for your stay). The name of the road is Calle Optimis, Los Narejos, near Los Alcazares. I hope the address helps if you decide to look for it on Google Earth.
A spacious two bedroom airy apartment with full size bath and shower over. We have tried to make your stay more comfortable by supplying items that you would normally have to bring with you e.g. hairdryer, iron etc. There is also an ironing board, microwave, toaster, washing machine, fridge freezer, cool bag supplied. In the lounge you will find a radio/cd player, television, dvd player.
You will also find a supply of books which you are welcome to use.
Sun beds and a table and chairs are supplied on the terraces.
We also offer a welcome pack consisting of tea, coffee, milk, sugar, water, bread and butter for you on request at a cost of 20 Euros. We hope you enjoy your stay
We arrived at 9.30 in the evening. We phoned from airport to say we had arrived. On time and there was somebody there when we got there to let us in and show us around.Nice touch there was bread butter water ect waiting in fridge.Apartment was clean and had everything you need .Close to Dia supermarket and a very nice bar and Resturaunt at the campsite around corner .You do not need a car but would be handy if you want to see around.we had one from airport no problems driving found apartment straight away .As we don't cook when away some really nice resturants around Los alcazares and up at the oasis.found on in road up the road excellent.sun beds at apartment which we took to beach every day.brought 2sun umbrellas as it was so hot but left there so other people might find them useful.only draw back it is on edge of farmland and the farmer mucked the fields while we were there ready for the planting of next crop but did not put us off.We were held up a few days because French air traffic controllers and Marion could not be more helpful and let us stop on until we could get back.we would highly recommend this apartment
This was our second stay. The apartment was very clean and well equipped. It is an ideal base for exploring the local area or to enjoy a leisurely beach holiday. We look forward to visiting again.
My friend and I enjoyed a short break at this lovely apartment last week. We were very comfortable in this spacious, clean and well equipped ground floor home and had everything we needed for a relaxing, peaceful few days away from reality! The beautiful beach is only a short 10 minute walk away and there are many small bars/restaurants along the promenade. The beach was practically deserted during our stay (which we loved!) but I imagine things get much busier during the school holiday season. The nearest supermarket is only a 5 minute walk away. Marion the owner was extremely friendly and helpful from the moment I first enquired about the property to the point she dropped us back to the airport at the end of our stay. I would certainly consider staying at this property again and would happily recommend it to friends and family.
We went in Sept 2012 for our anniversary and had a great time. The apartment is well situated for the supermarket just a five minute walk away. The beach is about a 10 to 15 minute walk away.
The main shops and bars are about 20 minutes walk away which is a nice walk with plenty of small bars along the way.
We found the whole area to be very relaxing and friendly and we would use this apartment again next year.
This is nice, well equipped apartment, clean and spacious with terraces back and front. It is a short walk to the restaurants and shops. We were able to walk to the airport in less than 30 minutes.We would unreservedly recommend it.
i have tried numerous times to write a review about your lovely apartment but half way through it just goes blank. is there a fault
The beach is beautiful sand and gently slopes into the sea which is suitable for small children with no big waves as it is situated on the Mar Menor which is a lagoon with the sea temperature being normally at least 5 to 6 degrees warmer than the Mediterranean. There are good beach bars which are very reasonably priced. There are also sun beds/shades/pedalos for hire. Certain months of the year the beach bars open late and locals go there for the evening. If you like golf there are plenty of golf courses nearby.
There are markets every day in different areas with the nearest to the apartment being just a 5 minute walk away on a Saturday morning which sells fresh fruit/bread/vegetables/salad etc. There are a few 'squares ' about which host a variety of different eating and drinking places. There is something for everyone.
Other Activities: There is a go-kart arena just a 2 minute drive away

The name of the town ultimately derives from the given name Aleksandar. In standard Serbian, Aleksinac is pronounced with the stress on the first syllable, but locals tend to pronounce it with the stress on the second syllable.
Prehistory and Antiquity[edit]
The territory of the municipality of Aleksinac has been inhabited since the neolithic age. Most of the settlements in the area belong to the Vinča cultural group, and are located on the western side of the South Morava river.
After the fall to the Romans this territory was included in the province Upper Moesia and after 293 AD it was in the Mediterranean province Dacia. A Roman military road (Via Militaris) was built in 1st century AD across the territory. There were also two stations for rest (mansio) and change of horses (mutatio) along the road on the territory of Aleksinac: Praesidium Pompei and Rappiana. Their location is still unknown, although there are few candidates for this position. Also few fortresses (Castell) are known to existed in this period, but their names are not known, except for the Castell Milareca on Gradiste hill (228 m).
Middle Ages[edit]
From the year 476 this territory was under Byzantine rule. There are evidences of settlements from this time, however their names still remain unknown.
During the reigns of emperors Phocas (602-610) and Heraclius (610-641) Slavic peoples inhabit Balkan peninsula. In 614 they razed Niš. The Via Militaris was renamed Medieval Military Road and it was used by the crusaders of first four Crusades to reach Constantinople thus passing through the territory of Aleksinac municipality.
During the reign of the Nemanjić dynasty this territory was under direct control of the state. After the death of Uroš V this territory was included in the territory of Moravian Serbia under the Prince Lazar and his successors. Two medieval towns, Bolvan and Lipovac, date from this period.
Ottoman rule[edit]
Aleksinac is first mentioned in 1516 in "Kruševački Tefter", a list of towns and its residents were made by Turks to keep an eye on taxes, as the village belonging to Bolvan province and Kruševac sanjak. It remained village up to the end of the 16th century when it was developed into town settlement.
In the middle of the 17th century, Aleksinac was town with more than 100 shops in it, and because of its strategic location on the road to Istanbul it became important travel and caravan station. Its importance can be supported by the fact that Turks built fortress to protect it from outlaws in 1616. The development of Aleksinac was stopped during the so-called Great Turkish War (1683–1699). Aleksinac was conquered by Austrian army (general Ludwig of Baden liberated it), and later burned to the ground by the soldiers of Jegen-Osman Pasha. Serbian inhabitants of Aleksinac joined Great Serb Migrations to Habsburg Monarchy and some of them settled down in Budim. Aleksinac was destroyed again by fire during the second Austro-Turkish war (1716–1718) when grand vizier Hallil Pasha was defeated beneath the walls of Belgrade. In retreat he burned down all settlements all the way to Niš.
After the third Austro-Turkish War (1737–1739) Aleksinac developed into significant trade and handcraft center. Many caravans passed through it exchanging wares from entire Ottoman Empire and central Europe. At the same time it became center of Aleksinac county which in 1784 consisted of 17 villages. There were 160 houses in Aleksinac at that time, 120 of them christian and 40 Turkish.
After the fourth Austro-Turkish War (1787–1791) Aleksinac was burned down again by the Turkish outlaws led by Osman Pazvantoğlu.
Modern times[edit]
Aleksinac and its surrounding area joined the First Serbian Uprising in January 1806. This included villages on the right bank of the South Morava river which were liberated by the army of Petar Dobrnjac. The settlements on the left bank were liberated by Mladen Milovanović and Stanoje Glavaš. As soon as the town was liberated, Captain Vuča Žikić built the famous Deligrad trenches on the north side of Aleksinac which earned fame in battles with the Turks, especially in 1806.
After the fall on the First Serbian Uprising, Aleksinac remained under Turkish rule up to December 1832 when it became integral part of Prince Miloš's Serbia. During his first reign Aleksinac became the economic centre of the south-east Serbia with numerous trade and handicrafts shops and it developed into important government centre. It became centre of county and county court. The third post office in Serbia (after Belgrade and Kragujevac) was opened in Aleksinac for both Serbian and Austrian post as well as the place where English courier sent and received the post from Turkey. At that time Customs office and quarantine station were built in Aleksinac. Aleksinac was also the site of major battles with Turks in First Serbo-Turkish war in 1876, with only true victory won on Šumatovac, 3 kilometers from Aleksinac.
From 1929 to 1941, Aleksinac was part of the Morava Banovina of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
Aleksinac was seriously damaged during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999.

"Industry is Fortune's right hand, and frugality her left."
--Thomas Fuller
Bell Sails Over AT&T Hurdle
Richard McCaffery (TMF Gibson)
Local telephone company Bell Atlantic (NYSE: BEL) avoided a pitfall in its drive to offer long distance services in New York last night when the Federal Communications Commission denied rival carrier AT&T's (NYSE: T) motion to prevent the company from quickly rolling out services.
AT&T filed its motion last week, shortly after the FCC gave Bell the OK to offer long distance services in New York. Bell Atlantic became the first baby bell granted approval to offer long distance services in a local coverage area since the Telecommunications Act of 1996 first cleared the way for local companies to do so.
In its petition, AT&T claimed Bell Atlantic hasn't fully opened its lines to competitors that want to offer local services. The FCC responded that AT&T didn't raise any issues the commission hadn't already considered.
When AT&T filed the petition December 23, it also announced plans to ask the U.S. Court of Appeals for a stay. Although the court could conceivably grant AT&T's request, thus delaying the New York rollout, Bell Atlantic's move into the long distance market is viewed by industry experts as inevitable.
Since litigation is expensive, many would like to see AT&T find a better way to spend its money than a legal battle going nowhere. Keep in mind, however, that Bell Atlantic has been every bit the 800-pound gorilla in the Northeast, and competition in local markets won't flourish unless Bell is kept on its toes.
Bell Atlantic plans to offer its New York customers "surprise-free" long distance services January 5. The company, the second-largest local telecom company in the U.S., has 8 million customers from Buffalo to Manhattan. For telecom carriers, New York is a critical market because of its size and the number of calls started and completed in the Big Apple.
News to Go
Burger King Corp., owned by London-based conglomerate Diageo Plc (NYSE: DEO), told parents to return promotional Pokemon balls that could harm infants. The "PokeBalls" are less than three inches wide and led to the choking death of a 13-month-old girl.
Two subsidiaries of Charter Communications (Nasdaq: CHTR) plan to offer $900 million in notes to repurchase existing debt and to raise working capital. Charter, headed by Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen, is the fourth-largest cable operator in the U.S. Its plan is to offer high-speed Internet connections via cable wire to customers throughout the country.
Global investment group Investcorp is buying school products and customized jewelry manufacturer Jostens (NYSE: JOS) for about $950 million. The deal includes about $100 million in debt. Jostens shareholders will receive $25.25 in cash for about 98% of the company, which represents a 38% premium over last night's closing price. The deal should be completed in about 90 days.

Is a 50% TCA/Jessner's chemical peel considered a medium or deep level peel? I had one done by an ENT (Board certified in Ear, Nose, Throat, Head and Neck Surgeryand continued to refine his expertise with a dual fellowship in Facial, Plastic and Reconstructive as well as Craniofacial Surgery) and experienced bad complications. I'm wanted your opinion if this is a % that is too high for a 35 year old patient and carries too many risks to be used by someone who is not a dermatolgist. Thanks!!
50% TCA/Jessner's Chemical Peel?
Doctor Answers 1
50% TCA is a strong peel requiring experience and training to do it safely.
Even if you doctor has lots of experience in other areas, It does not mean he/she is an expert in chemical peels. Seek consultation from a specialist who has done 100's of peels, knows how to perform the procedure and knows how to instruct you in proper post operative care as you heal. A dermatologist with extensive peeling experience is the best.
