How teachers "care" for students is a well-established line of inquiry in educational research, but the ways such "care" may function as symbolic violence have received scant attention. In this ethnographic investigation of classroom disciplinary interactions, the characteristics and functions of preservice teachers' care discourses are examined. By translating deficit discourses into expressions of praise for students' nonacademic talents, the participants' rhetoric of care effectively shifts blame for failure from teacher to student. The preservice teachers' expressions of care also function to veil the power being produced in such rhetoric, to frame the teacher as victim when said care is rejected, and to reverse the carer/cared-for dynamic when teachers' attempts to inspire academic progress are unsuccessful. Implications for teacher education and teacher development are provided as are suggestions for how to recognize and implement more authentic forms of care.

|[jira] [Commented] (DERBY-5548) Implement a GRANT/REVOKE scheme for authorizing system-wide operations
|Mon, 21 May 2012 15:36:41 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5548?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13280218#comment-13280218 ] Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-5548: -------------------------------------- Hi Dag, some responses follow: DW> - Would the statement "grant create_database on derby to dbo_role" need to issued by the DBO in a normal connection to the $authorizationDB (and the role "dbo_role" created there too)? That seems right to me. It's simple and easy to figure out. DW> - When authorizing, say, CREATE_DATABASE, what would be the current role used in the connection to $authorizationDB? One specified on the URL used to perform the create action? Right. This is a weak part of the proposal. In the SQL world, it is expected that you will declare what role you are assuming. Right now, this proposal supposes that you enjoy the union of all roles you could possibly assume. As you suggest, we could add a new connection url attribute, viz., the role you would assume when trying to perform the system-wide operation. Something like this: connect 'jdbc:derby:;shutdown=true;user=fred;password=fredpassword;role=sysadmin_role'; If we introduced a role attribute, we might want to generalize it. E.g., if you specified the role attribute when connecting to a database, then Derby would set your role accordingly. DW> I guess this implies that we get two kinds of roles as well, roles used to authorize db local operations and roles used to authorize system level operations? It may be cleaner to encourage applications to segregate the two kinds of roles as you suggest. However, for a single-db application, it might be useful to create an admin role which has system-wide privileges granted to it as well as some or all dbo privileges. Thanks, -Rick > Implement a GRANT/REVOKE scheme for authorizing system-wide operations > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-5548 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5548 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: SQL > Reporter: Rick Hillegas > > This is an alternative proposal for how we could authorize system-wide operations. Those operations are: > o Database creation > o Database restoration > o Engine shutdown > o Server shutdown > o Server startup > Currently, any valid Derby user can execute all of those operations. This leaves Derby-powered applications vulnerable to resource-exhaustion and denial-of-service attacks. There is no reason that a data-entry clerk should have the power to bring down an enterprise-wide application. > DERBY-2109 describes our first attempt to implement authorization for system-wide operations. The work on that issue was never completed. Under the DERBY-2109 scheme, system-wide operations are authorized by entries in the application's Java security policy. That scheme has some shortcomings: > 1) Configuring Java security policy files is tricky. It is easy to make mistakes. Furthermore, the policy file reader does not give you much assistance in tracking down and correcting those mistakes. > 2) The scheme only grants privileges to individual users. You can't grant system-wide privileges to roles. > The following alternative scheme builds on the idea of a Credentials DB, introduced by the work on DERBY-866. Thanks to Dag for helping puzzle through these issues. > ------------------------------------------------- > A system-wide Credentials DB could be used to store system-wide privileges in addition to system-wide credentials. 2 variants of this proposal have been considered: > i) We could introduce some new privileges, extensions to the SQL Standard privilege set. The DBO of the Credentials DB could grant and revoke these privileges to/from users/roles: > DERBY_CREATE_DATABASE > DERBY_RESTORE_DATABASE > DERBY_SHUTDOWN_ENGINE > DERBY_SHUTDOWN_SERVER > DERBY_STARTUP_SERVER > ii) Alternatively, we could introduce some new system routines to represent the system-wide operations. Privilege to perform the operations would depend on whether a user/role had been granted EXECUTE privilege on the corresponding routines: > syscs_util.syscs_create_database() > syscs_util.syscs_restore_database() > syscs_util.syscs_shutdown_engine() > syscs_util.syscs_shutdown_server() > syscs_util.syscs_startup_server() > A new Derby property would configure whether this authorization scheme should be used. This property would be set at the system level, that is, on the JVM properties or in derby.properties: > -Dderby.system.authorization=NATIVE > If we implemented this scheme in the 10.9 timeframe, then we could default it to being on whenever NATIVE authentication was on at the system level. For instance, for an application with one database, myDB, NATIVE authentication and authorization would both be switched on by setting one knob: > -Dderby.authentication.provider=NATIVE:myDB > We could also introduce a new attribute on the connection URL: > role=roleName > Here for instance would be the processing flow when a user tried to connect with the following URL: > jdbc:derby:;shutdown=true;user=alice;password=alicepassword;role=sysadmin > a) A connection would be opened to the Credentials DB using alice's credentials. > b) On that connection, an attempt would be made to "set role sysadmin". If that failed, the shutdown would error out. > c) If the role change succeeded, Derby would verify whether alice or the sysadmin role had been granted privilege to shutdown the engine. If not, the shutdown would error out. > d) If the privilege had been granted, then orderly shutdown would be performed. > It should be possible to make this authorization scheme work regardless of the authentication scheme being used. That is, it could work regardless of whether you were using LDAP, custom, or NATIVE authentication. > A key advantage of this scheme is that it would be easy to administer using familiar GRANT/REVOKE commands. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Chapter 6
I remembered the first time I'd been called to my father's office to be disciplined. I'd been five years old, and my mom had been away on a trip. My father had caught me trying to clean spilled grape juice out of the carpet of his favorite sports car. I just remembered feeling sick to the point of vomiting, a hysterically crying the whole time I sat in his office.
Marching through my house after midnight I expected to feel marginally the same. I didn't. I was embarrassed, and upset, but most of all I was just angry. The all-over sort of deep, frigid anger. I was angry with myself for getting caught, and the scientists that were testing on Malachi, and my father for being so cruel.
"Why?" I asked curtly.
"Why what?"
"Why are you doing this?" I watched as my father shuffled the papers on his desk, a frustrated tremor running through his hands.
"You don't understand."
"Then explain it to me."
He froze. The meaning was blunt enough to break through.
"Then explain it to me." The words were foreign on my tongue, but we both knew them well. They'd been buried with every little detail I'd tried to hold onto about my mom.
"You wouldn't understand." He continued the frantic movements with a renewed madness. I bristled. He couldn't know that I wouldn't understand—but more likely he didn't have a reason himself.
"Dad, there is a boy held captive in our basement. What is there to understand?" My mom would have kept her cool, said everything calmly. I hadn't inherited that from her.
"You don't understand. What we are doing is revolutionary—it could change how the world looks at energy."
"He's not one of your fuel cells!"
"And I suppose you know all about what he is? Had a chat? What do you think you could know about this, Scarlett? You think you understand? You don't know anything."
"I know that it's wrong, and he deserves to be free, and he's just a boy."
"My point is proven. This doesn't concern you."
It's happening in my house! I have to fall asleep tonight knowing he's locked up down there, just waiting to be experimented on. How doesn't that concern me? You think you can do whatever you want, huh? Because mom's gone? Because the only thing you focus on anymore is work? I'm here too!
I wanted to scream the words… to let them spill from my mouth and uncover the thorn in my heart. But I couldn't. I just stood, barely managing to mumble a "Yes it does…"
"No. It doesn't, Scarlett. This doesn't concern you."
The conversation was over, and I knew a bridge had been burned.
I made it to the foyer before the tears started streaming down my cheeks. I'd always had the quiet household. My friends would complain about fighting with their parents and I would sit back and just listen. My father and I didn't fight. We barely interacted on a family-like basis.
I'd never realized how scary it could be. Even at seventeen
I slipped past the stairs, stumbling to the third door on the which, which opened onto the stone path to Sylvia's guesthouse. I pushed open the door, but froze on the threshold. A night breeze chilled my arms and face, but all I could do was stair.
It wasn't Sylvia's problem. She deserved her sleep, not a sobbing teenage girl. It was my issue, and I'd deal with it myself—I had to.
I slumped against the wall, the door securely closed. I wasn't willing to wake her, to admit how upset I was, to show my vulnerability. Most importantly, I didn't want to see the pity in her eyes. I didn't want to have to face her in the morning, and pretend like nothing had happened.
I buried my face in my arms, choking down the sobs and trying to quell the shudders. Seconds—minutes, hours—later I stumbled back down the hall and up the stairs before finally collapsing on my bed, leaving a trail of tears.
"I'm sorry."
My dream came into a sudden, startling clarity. I'd been struggling against mud and water and grime, trying to desperately keep my head above. I was surrounded by darkness, the outline of plants, or animals, or people just visible on the edge of the muck-filled pit. Suddenly, though, I could feel the sand in the mud taste the dirt and earth in my mouth, and smell sweat and my own desperation. I slowly lifted my head, and stared into the eyes of Malachi.
He stood strong on the edge of the pit. The bruises were gone, and a healthy color had returned to his face, and a life had flooded his eyes. His hand was held out towards me, offering help.
He grabbed my wrist, pulling me from the muck. As soon as my foot touched solid ground the mud disappeared, replaced by dry dirt.
"Because. I caused all of this."
As he spoke a moon appeared, followed by a thousand smiling stars. Their light illuminated a field of swaying grass, extending as far as I could see all around us. I turned back to Malachi, but he was walking away, a silvery outline of two wings glowing on his shirt.
Then he was gone, and I was left with the stars.
The dream still lingered in my mind as I pulled a blouse over my head, the silky fabric slipping across my face. My alarm clock read 8:19, far later than I was used to getting up. I slipped into a clean pair of jeans before slouching back against my bed.
I was numb, but I didn't want to face my father. Even dampened emotions registered the unpleasantness of that idea.
The smell of waffles finally roused me from my stupor. I plodded down the stairs, following my nose into the kitchen, where Sylvia stood busy with a bowl of batter and the waffle iron.
"It's about time you got up, Deary."
"Yeah… I know."
"Is everything alright?"
"You're, making waffles, what could be wrong?" I forced a smile, and climbed onto one of the island's stools.
She knew I was lying, but she didn't push the subject.
"Deary… you need to get out of this house. What about the art store? The bookstore? Any knew books you would like to read?"
"Maybe. I was thinking about painting something…"
"Then it's a plan! We'll be off after breakfast."
Without hesitation she slid a Belgium waffle onto my plate, peanut butter and Nutella already smeared across its top. I took a bite and the warm, creamy, gooey goodness filled my mouth. A glass of milk appeared by my plate, rinsing away the chocolate and peanut butter film.
"Now, I will just have to grab my things, and we can be off."
"I should probably check the office, just in case something urgent came in," I countered, cutting into the second half of my waffle.
"Deary! Really. You can take one day off."
"Sylvia, I don't think Comwell would survive if I took a day off."
A boisterous laugh exploded from Sylvia.
"You're probably right, but all those smarty-pants could use a bit of excitement."
"I'm still going to check."
"I know you will, but be quick about it."
I pushed the empty plate towards the sink and slid off the chair. The tile was cold—I'd forgotten my socks—as I moseyed towards the office. I paused outside the door, but no voices came from the rooms, so I stepped in.
The answering machine blinked, alerting me to new messages, but I was much more concerned with the red piece of paper placed in the center of my desk.
Come down to the lab.
It was undoubtedly my father's haphazard handwriting. All thoughts of the art store left my mind. I searched for some rationale, some reason my father would have for asking me to the lab. I could only thing of one—and that was for a demonstration.
I dashed out of the office, skidding towards the stairs, and taking them two at a time. I swiped my key card—not caring who saw or who questioned it. I'd seen the lab full of white coats before. I'd spent enough time running notes to my father to get used to all of the nation's top nerds scurrying about. It only took a moment to find him, to pick out his tan skin against all of the white.
Malachi was at the center of everything, and I had no idea what to do.

Cities Lose $1000 Or More Per Year For Every Parking Space They HaveWritten by Boston Biker on Apr 07
I have been rambling on for years about how parking spaces are basically the worst thing you can put into a city (other than I guess the cars in them), but finally someone went and proved me right with math.
A pair of forthcoming studies by Garrick and several of his UConn colleagues examine the economic and sociological impacts of parking trends in six U.S. cities from 1960 to 2000. They conclude that some car-centric cities forfeit more than a thousand dollars per parking space per year in potential municipal revenues by using land for parking rather than more lucrative alternatives. The researchers also found that minimum parking requirements inhibit development and exacerbate traffic by placing incentives on car use rather than on walking and cycling.
The studies chronicle changes in Arlington, Va., Berkeley, Calif., and Cambridge, Mass.—all of which showed only modest growth in parking over the past 40 years—and Hartford, Conn., Lowell, Mass., and New Haven, Conn., where parking spaces were added with great zeal over that span.
Parking-centric cities also sacrifice income. In all six cities studied by UConn's researchers, land devoted to buildings provides at least 88 percent of tax revenue and sometimes as much as 97 percent; parking contributes very little. In other words, cities that turn themselves into car lots relinquish tax money in the bargain.
Hartford loses an estimated $1,200 annually per parking space, a subsidy of more than $50 million per year, according to Garrick. The city is no anomaly: "We pick on Hartford because it's our state capital." Cities such as Cambridge, where parking is kept in check and more heavily taxed, don't lose money. (read more here)
Hindsight is of course 20/20, but lets go over a little recap of what happened to many cities since the 60's. Build big highways into the city, allowing people to commute from the burbs, whoops there goes your tax base, then you build lots of parking lots so those people have some place to stash their cars when arrive from 20-10+ miles away, roads get torn up without the tax base to pay for them, and whoops lost tax revenue because empty concrete doesn't make much tax revenue. Then what are you left with? A city that is a traffic jam twice a day, a parking lot during the work day, and a ghost town at night and on weekends. You also have lots of ugly highways and overpasses that make it impossible for the people left to enjoy the city…in short building cities for cars is a nightmare.
I am uplifted by the fact that there has been a big trend in tearing down overpasses, making it more expensive to commute by car into cites, and removing, or reducing the number of parking spaces built. But we have a long way to go, our cities are still not designed for people, they are designed for cars. Hopefully people will follow the money and replace the parking spaces with something useful, like a garden, park, business, home, or bike lane!

I'm Not The Only One Who Thinks The Boston Parking System Is BrokenWritten by Boston Biker on Nov 11
Patrick Doyle from the Boston Magazine lays out in wonderful detail exactly what is wrong with the Boston parking system…its too cheap.
Driving in Boston is about as much fun as an emergency appendectomy with a jigsaw. Those of us who live here are well equipped to deliver detailed lectures on the reasons why: one-way streets derived from 17th-century cow paths; the lack, for the most part, of a grid; poor to nonexistent signage; and the general willingness of citizens on foot, on bike, and behind the wheel to dart out recklessly into traffic. But as bad as driving is in Boston, it's a dream compared with the parking.
You see, the average car is driven only about 5 percent of each day. The rest of the time—when the owner is at work, at home, or in a store—that car is parked. In a small city with limited space like ours, this creates a major problem. Too many cars are competing for too few parking spots. Finding an empty space on the street is such a rarity that when my friend in the North End does manage to grab one, she'll often choose to keep her car parked in it and shell out for a Zipcar when she needs to run an errand. Whenever you're thinking of driving into the city—be it for a Red Sox game or a quick stop on Newbury Street—there's always one overwhelming concern: If I can't find a spot on the street, how much is the garage going to cost me?
It doesn't have to be like this. Unlike a lot of the problems we have with cars around here, this one we can actually fix.
Read the rest of this great story for an in depth look at how we got into this problem, and some very good suggestions for how to get out of it, here.
While the Hubway rental system is briefly mentioned in the article what isn't is how we can re-purpose a lot of that wasted parking space for bike infrastructure.
No one wants to talk about removing parking spaces, its one of the many third rail's of government in this city. But if we are creative, we can accommodate more bike infrastructure and slightly less car parking.
If we do we will be able to provide a convenient alternative to all those poor souls trapped in their cars in traffic. This allows for less congestion, less traffic, and basically makes everyone's life better (car drivers and bike riders).

Pictures Of North Harvard Street Bike Lanes…FailingWritten by Boston Biker on Aug 06
Reader Grim sent these to me…as you can see the new bike lanes on North Harvard have not been totally understood just yet by the drivers in the area…perhaps a couple 100$ dollar tickets would smarten them up.

Boston Outlaws Parking In Bike LanesWritten by Boston Biker on Aug 04
From ABBikes:
WHEREAS: The City of Boston is lacking an effective method to ensure public safety as members of the public not only travel in motor vehicles in marked bike lanes and shared lanes but also park in said lanes; and
WHEREAS: This Ordinance shall establish the following guidelines for parking motor vehicles in marked bike lanes and shared bike lanes; and
Ordained by the City Council as follows:
1. Purpose. The purpose of this ordinance is to establish guidelines for parking motor vehicles in marked bike lanes and shared bike lanes.
2. Prohibition from Marked Bike Lanes and Shared Lanes. No driver shall stand or park any motor vehicle in a marked bike or shared bike lane in the City of Boston.
3. Penalties. Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be subject to a fine of one hundred dollars and no cents ($100.00) for each offense. This fine shall increase by thirty-three dollars ($33.00) if it remains unpaid at least twenty-one (21) days after issuance of a notice of the violation.
4. Exceptions. Nothing in these sections shall prevent standing or parking a motor vehicle in a marked bike lane or shared bike lane: (i) when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or pedestrians; (ii) in compliance with the lawful direction of a police officer or official traffic sign; or (iii) unless authorized to do so under existing regulations (including but not limited to designated residential parking lanes or parking meters).
5. Enforcement. The Boston Transportation Department and the Boston Police Department shall have the authority to enforce this section. The provisions of Massachusetts General Laws c. 90, s. 20A1/2 may be used to enforce these sections, and the adjudication provisions of this chapter and of Chapter 190 of the Acts of 1982 shall apply to this section.

Jesus Christ People Ride A Bike (Parking Space Sells For $300K)Written by Boston Biker on Jun 11
Really? Really! What the hell is wrong with people that they would spend $300,000 (arguably more money than I will ever see in my life) on a f-ing parking space! Buy a bike people!
Today, a buyer paid $300,000 for a private parking space in Boston's Back Bay section, making it the most expensive parking space in the city's history, according to Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage.
Debra Sordillo, the Coldwell sales agent who brokered the deal, said several residents at 48 Commonwealth Ave. engaged in a bidding war for the space, driving the original asking price of $250,000 up to the record-breaking $300,000. The winning bidder did not want to be identified, she said.
Though the price is more than what many people pay for a house, Sordillo said prime parking spaces in a neighborhood just a block from the Public Garden are in short supply.
"There's only so many parking spaces in the city," said Sordillo. "And in this part, there's very few."
You have to be kidding me…the person who wasted this much money on a place to put their stupid car (by the way that much money would have allowed you to park in any parking garage in town for more than a 40 years).
If they just rode a bike they would never have to worry about parking, would lose some of that fat rich ass, and could have given the $299,000 left over to charity.
EDIT: Because people asked you can park in the Boston Common Parking Garage for more than 30 years! (info here)
EDIT 2: If you use the monthly rate you would be locked in for more than 80 years…seriously these people are idiots…

The Bad News About Artificial Sweeteners
It's been a rather tough year for artificial sweeteners. In that time, three new studies have been released suggesting they are poor substitutes for sugar. In the spring, an investigation into their use revealed a disconcerting association with the onset of depression. Then, a long-term analysis of their use revealed they may contribute to overall weight gain. Last week, a series of experiments in both mice and humans suggested they contribute to the development of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and other metabolic ailments.
The compilation of scientific reports to support abstinence from these products does put doctors and dietitians alike in a rather ominous place. For decades, reducing the consumption of sugar has been a major goal to improve health. In place of the natural sweetener, moving to artificial ones offering zero calories has been seen as a valid option. Yet the path appears to have made a significant curve, leaving decision makers with the unenviable position of having to choose the lesser of two evils.
The choice might be made easier with the addition of a different perspective. From a microbiological standpoint, the results of these studies, particularly the latter, is not at all surprising. Since the dawn of the human microbiome project, researchers have learned how much our health depends on the nature of the bacteria living in and on our bodies.
A balanced diversity comprising of lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and the Clostridiales is needed for optimum health. These microbes produce a number of chemicals to not only help digestion, but also improve metabolism and even keep the brain happy. Yet, when this balance is disrupted and these bacteria are reduced in numbers -- a condition known as dysbiosis -- a number of health problems not unlike those seen in the above studies can result. In essence, if the bacteria are treated well, you are happy. If, however, they are treated poorly, they may go away leaving you prone to health problems.
In regards to artificial sweeteners, the problem supposedly lies in the chemistry of the product. While our taste buds might recognize them as being sweet like sugar, bacteria tend to simply see them as useless and even dangerous. As the natural -- not refined -- sugar levels drop in the gut, the lactic acid bacteria end up starving and eventually disappear. As this happens, the population shifts away from balanced to dysbiosis. The body then responds with the development of inflammation and sends signals to the brain there is an imbalance.
When this happens, the entire body goes into defensive mode, which includes higher absorption of glucose, increased fat storage and hypertension. In the short term -- such as fighting an infection -- this can be beneficial to aid in the fight; similar high blood glucose levels have been seen in infections such as tuberculosis. Yet, over the long term, this stand at the ready form of inflammation can have significant consequences and lead to the development of several chronic ailments.
Though this mechanism of microbial mayhem is well established, the actual evidence to support the contribution of artificial sweeteners has been weak. Last week's article did test the theory in mice as well as humans yet there were confounding issues. The team saw an effect of the big three sweeteners, aspartame, sucralose and saccharin in mice, yet only conducted further experiments with the latter. The group also used significantly high doses of the chemical. While from a microbiological perspective, the results were confirmatory, from a public health perspective, there is room for doubt and even detraction.
There is a way forward, however, although it has less to do with the tongue and more to do with the gut. The trillions of bacteria in the intestines rely on sugar to survive and maintain diversity. Yet, the nature of this nutrient can differ; they do not need solely refined sugar. A wide diversity of sweet choices can be sought to not only keep you happy but also to treat your microbes well.
Fruits are perfect sources of natural sugars and their juices can sate any taste bud. Extracted natural sugars are also beneficial as they can cure the cravings of a sweet tooth while still providing the bacteria with a healthy diet. Finally, one of the most important sweet foods, honey, has not only been proven to be antidiabetic but also is made by lactic acid bacteria. It could quite possibly be the world's perfect sweet treat.
As doctors and dietitians deal with the recent results and decide on a decree of direction, the problems associated with artificial sweeteners -- and of course the consumption of too much refined sugar -- may be easily ameliorated by thinking of your germs. Remember you are not only eating for one; you are eating for up to one hundred trillion. Each of the bacteria in your gut is part of the self and deserves to be treated well. By choosing simple, raw and natural sugars, health can be maintained by supporting a good diversity and encouraging the microbes to treat you as well as your do them.
Sucrose may sound like something grown in a lab, but it's just everyday table sugar. Sucrose comes in many forms -- granulated, powdered, brown and others -- but chemically, all types of sucrose are two linked monosaccharides: fructose and glucose. When digested, the link is dissolved and the two monosaccharides are separately absorbed in the small intestine. Most commercially-produced sucrose is derived from sugar beets and sugar cane. One tablespoon of sucrose has 57 calories.
Glucose and fructose, when linked, are the simple sugars that make sucrose. But you'll often see them listed separately in the ingredients of products, like sugary sports drinks. Fructose, which also occurs naturally in fruits, is sweeter than glucose. There's also evidence that the two are metabolized differently in the body. As for dextrose? It's just two linked glucose molecules.
The sticky stuff produced by honey bees is a mixture of fructose, sucrose, glucose and water, and it's been used as a sweetener for thousands of years. It's metabolized in roughly the same way as sugar and is similarly sweet.
Molasses is a byproduct of sugar refining, most often starting with ingredients like sugarcane and sugar beets. (The molasses made from sugarcane is distinct from that made from sugar beets, but the latter is mainly consumed by animals.) Molasses is mainly composed of sucrose, fructose and glucose. One tablespoon of molasses has about 58 calories.
Made from the agave plant, agave nectar is about 1 1/2 times sweeter than sugar, which theoretically means you can use less of it. Although it's often compared to honey, it has a thinner consistency and a more neutral taste.
Sucrose is the main sugar in maple syrup, which is made from the sap of maple trees. It has about 52 calories per tablespoon.
A ubiquitous sweetener in processed foods, it's composed of glucose and other sugars. Often used as a thickener and sweetener, its popularity in commercial food production has since been surpassed by high fructose corn syrup (which we explain in the next slide). Corn syrup packs roughly 60 calories per tablespoon.
Take a stroll down the aisles of your grocery store, and you'll likely find high fructose corn syrup listed as an ingredient for any number of products. It's produced when some of the glucose in corn syrup is converted into fructose, which amps up its sweetness. It's commonly used in foods soft drinks, cereals, condiments and other processed foods. One tablespoon of high fructose corn syrup has roughly 53 calories.
The artificial sweetener aspartame has been around since 1965, when a chemist accidentally discovered its sweet flavor. Since then, it's become a popular sweetener for diet drinks, like Diet Coke. It's also been sold in packets under the names Equal, NutraSweet and Canderel. Although the FDA has cleared aspartame as a safe food additive, some controversial studies claim the substance is a carcinogen. It has no calories, and is 160 to 200 times sweeter than sugar.
Although sucralose was discovered in 1976, it wasn't approved for products in the U.S. until 1998. It's made by replacing some parts of a sugar molecule with chlorine atoms. The resulting product is 600 times sweeter than sugar, but can't be digested by humans, hence its value as a no-calorie sweetener. Sucralose is popularly sold under the brand name Splenda.
The first modern artificial sweetener, saccharine, was originally synthesized in 1879 and became especially popular in the 1960s and 1970s. For decades, it's been sold under the brand Sweet'n Low. Both the substance and the product, however, were delivered a blow in the 1970s when studies suggested that the ingestion of saccharine led to the development of bladder cancer in rats. Saccharine products were required to bear labels warning the public. Later it was learned that the rodents' cancer was caused by a mechanism not present in humans. The warning label requirement was lifted in late 2000. It's 300 to 500 times sweeter than sugar.
Stevia, a natural sweetener derived from a species of plants native to South America, Central America and Mexico, is 250 times sweeter than sugar but has no calories. Like other no-calorie sweeteners, the essential parts of the stevia compound can not be digested. Stevia-derived sweeteners are sold under the brand names Truvia and PureVia. Both Pepsi and Coca-Cola have developed Stevia-sweetened sodas.

Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH
PURPOSE: Our objective was to compare the results of a blind lavage vs. a bronchoscopic-guided bronchoalveolar lavage for the etiologic diagnosis of ventilator associated pneumonia.
METHODS: Prospective study involving 25 consecutive adult patients with high probability of ventilator associated pneumonia. Every patient underwent a blind bronchoalveolar lavage with a modified nasogastric tube, and a bronchospic-guided bronchoalveolar lavage. The study was done in a formally randomized fashion to determine the order of the procedures. The interpretation of quantitative cultures was done by blinded expert microbiologists. This is a single center study, in a 20 bed medical and surgical intensive care unit of the University Hospital in Monterrey, Mexico.
RESULTS: Twenty-one patients underwent both procedures. Four patients were excluded due to contamination of the cultures. The quantitative cultures were compared in a paired fashion. Only 2 patients had discordant cultures. The correlation coefficient between the number of colonies was very high r=0.90 (95% CI, 0.77–0.96 p=0.0001).
CONCLUSION: The blind bronchoalveolar lavage with a modified nasogastric tube is a valuable tool for the identification of etiologic agent in VAP, particularly when trained bronchoscopists or the necessary resources for bronchoscopic-guided bronchoalveolar lavage are not readily available.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: In this single center, prospective study we demonstrated the excellent operating characteristics of a non-bronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage technique using a nasogastric tube compared with the frequently cited fiberoptic bronchoscope-guided BAL. The results of our study have important implications in the care of patients with VAP in resource-constrained settings, where the availability of bronchoscopes to confirm the diagnosis of VAP is limited.We believe this innovative and simple technique should be validated in larger clinical trials, where antibiotic use, organ dysfunction improvement, and ultimately survival should be used as outcome measures.

Joey Burns and John Convertino have been the core duo behind the Calexico name for the past decade, dishing out dexterous alt.country that veers from white boy bossanova soundscapes to dark David Lynch-ian territory with an uncanny verve. Conjuring up images of arid desert landscapes, sultry cat houses and tequila shacks, this is college rock for those who like a touch of Mexicana thrown in with their studies.
Tonight the twosome offer a sneaky peek into the musical vegetation of their new album, Garden Ruins, and rather abundant it is too. From the languid set opener Yours and Mine, where Burns takes on the look of a well-turned out lonesome cowboy, through to the chugging head shaker Letter to Bowie Knife and the wide open spaces and hazy horizons of Cruel, the music reeks of the imposing country which bore it, America. Only a place that big could inform a sound so epic, restless and powerful.
The crowd, with their black-rimmed glasses and roll-ups, look like they've been pinched from the nearest jazz club, but only awed appreciation, rather than finger-clicking pretension, is to be seen tonight. Convertino attempts to hide under a natty blue trucker cap and behind his drums, but is squeezed into the mirrored corner of the tiny basement, creating the odd impression of there being four of him. Not that anyone would be surprised if it turned out there were, as he and Burns are capable of making enough noise for it to seem like there's a full band wedged between the club's open brickwork.
Deep Down, a song originally recorded with members of ambitious Nashville nu-country pioneers Lampchop, can only really be described as emo country, an epic, soul bashing harmonious crescendo that's in equal measures pensive and awesome, and leaves no corner, and no punter, of the club free from its many charms. At Manchester Academy on April 21. Then touring.

Touhou Anime Project - Musou Kakyou
And why it belongs to unaired section?
I don't think a torrent link should be provided.
In any case, for a fan-made project it was really well done! They even managed to recruit professional VA (and notorious ones) for all the roles! I'm impressed.
And as a Touhou fan, I'm delighted as well. :D
It was way too short. Just when I was into it, and they give me the "to be continue" :(.
Not that great, but at least it's on a good rating for me. Animation is acceptable (I got used to watching those 90s' anime after all). Background is gorgeous. Characters' personality is, well, a little bit off, I feel, but consider it's a doujin product, it's fine with me. The BGM isn't a problem, I guess, because the slow pace (which I like), the BGM is kind of fitting. The plot works as usual, because it sounds silly as all most of ZUN's works. Now if it's not a doujin work, but a proper anime instead, I bet they can't use this kind of plot without feeling afraid of audience's reaction.
I'd give it a C if it's on the current anime standard rating. B+ instead if seeing it's as a doujinshi.
Finally, on a 2nd watch through, I can point a finger at what's been bothering me. That's Sakuya. I don't feel her voice fits her character, and she doesn't give me the elegant maid image which I always thought she is.
Okay, it's good. Now where is my Flandre that you mentioned, Patchy?
I thought Sakuya was ok.
On the other hand Marisa's personality felt off, in my opinion. Her VA is fine, but she sounded lazier/annoyed than I was expecting her to be. Although she talks like a male and speaks unpolitely, I was expecting her to be a little more genki, a little more energetic.
The pacing is fine for me, I've always thought that Touhou would be perfect as a slice-of-life show than a typical shounen one. And I'm glad it's going to continue, I am certainly not satisfied with only one single episode either, hehe.
Oh, and I'd so love if Maikaze released an artbook with their Touhou illustrations and background art... it's gorgeous.
Very good work considering it's a doujin product, and I think anyone who has seen the preview would already know what the animation quality would be like. However, pleasantly surprised at the fluid fight scenes. (lol@patchy releasing Royal Flare in her own library/Reimu's amulet says 燒肉定食)
The CV did a pretty good job too.. Nakahara Mai's Reimu is spot-on.
Sakuya is the one that bothers me slightly though. My head was screaming "Maria-san!!" everytime she speaks.
Overall the anime is very good, but where is my worst robber/thief? Marisa in this one looks so helpless, like a really nice girl gotten messed up by her bad buddies...
Some avi: I have nothing against the maid, just couldn't find suitable avi material.
http://www.thebenevolent.net/imghost...2nth0bfufm.gif http://www.thebenevolent.net/imghost...shibfv8dqu.gif http://www.thebenevolent.net/imghost...7mxjcemrzd.gif http://www.thebenevolent.net/imghost...7o093op4xl.gif http://www.thebenevolent.net/imghost...yxsqtkk6cz.gif http://www.thebenevolent.net/imghost...2m68kel3d7.gif http://www.thebenevolent.net/imghost...735093odkr.gif
Because this is a doujin work, so I don't really want to go into the characters much (hell, lot of crazy ideas you can see in others doujinshi out there). Marisa did too little that I can hardly feel that there is anything wrong with her. The way she talks is fine because it's kind of fitting what ZUN has been using all the time. The problem is she give a lazy feeling that even surpasses Reimu (which I think is the laziest character in Touhou, maybe only Kaguya is on par with her).
Aya is nice, and Remilia is <3. She doesn't give enough the ojou-sama vibe, but childish enough. However, what's the hell are those tiny wings? I don't remember it's that small. And where's my Flandre?
Shocking, Yukari is 17.
@ Duo Maxwell
I know, I know. Please forgive this Marisa fanboy (also a yuri-harem-holic).
It's nothing wrong with Aunt Yukari being 17.
@ Shinndou
My bet of the said thief is on ⑨ (← I'm not serious).
Spoiler for Robber:
Next ep, please bring me Alice. I can't live without the cute tsundere puppeteer :3. And I miss the infamous Master Spark.
And why did Suika have to go buying sake?
Aya is so hyper, she sounded like Chouhi Ekitoku in Koihime Musou, I even expected her to say ~nanoda anytime. Even if the VA are different. Like I said, compared to the professional works, it is average. But it is a B for the effort poured in. The overall feeling is close to a flipflop doujin, in slice-of-life mode. If there are a professional studio that should do it, it should be Shaft, or perhaps Bones. Madhouse is too grim for Touhou, KyoAni have hands full, and other studios, don't get me started on them.
I smell strong Alice from this one (I may read too much Alice-stalks-Marisa douji's)
If it is a raw then the link needs to go but if it is a fansub then we will list it on AnimeSuki. StrikeS & Ayako have released a trailer, we list it under Touhou Anime Project - Musou Kakyou. Also if it has been fansubbed then this thread cn be moved to the Fansubbed forum.
Ending pic stitching (not my doing, found it on another forum)
Flan usually stays in the basement and is meant to.
Well, having her roaming the Mansion alone is enough to scare everyone in here. It speaks a lot about it.
Although it's definetely more likely to be Alice (or atleast I hope so).

Super Mario Galaxy (film)
this wiki
Super Mario Galaxy is a film based on the Mario game of the same name.
Every hundred years, a comet passes over the Mushroom Kingdom and causes magical stars and stardust to fall to the planet below. This century, Star Bits rain down from the sky and form a giant Power Star. The Toad Brigade finds it and delivers it to the castle. Luma has also fallen, and Princess Peach decides to give him to Mario. She sends a letter to Mario, inviting him to her castle to join in the festivities and receive him as a gift. With invitation in hand, Mario runs to the Castle Gardens. As the citizens of the kingdom are celebrating the centennial event, Bowser suddenly attacks the Toads with his airships and freezes them in crystals. He "invites" Peach to the creation of his brand new galaxy, and when Peach (holding Luma tight) doesn't respond, he uses a UFO carry Center to the center of the universe. Before Mario can reach Peach, Kamek casts a spell at Mario, sending him into a small planetoid and knocking him out. When Mario later wakes up on a small grassy planet he meets three Star Bunnies, who promise to tell him where he is if he can catch them. When he does so, they transform back into Lumas and take him to meet Rosalina, who tells Mario that he is at the "Gateway To The Starry Sky" and that the universe is in great peril, Bowser having attacked her ship — the Comet Observatory — and stolen the Power Stars, including six Grand Stars (along with the final one at Peach's Castle). Without these, the Comet Observatory is doomed as they cannot move through space. Rosalina asks him to rescue the Grand Stars in order to defeat Bowser, who took Peach to the center of the universe. Mario then starts his journey across the galaxies, freeing Power Stars and Grand Stars. Once all of the five Grand Stars and Power Stars are collected, the Comet Observatory becomes a starship and takes Mario to the center of the universe. Here, he defeats Bowser in his brand new galaxy, retrieves the last Grand Star, and rescues Princess Peach as she's falling from Bowser Jr.'s airship. The two share a carefree moment in the skies, but their reunion is cut short when the Sun of Bowser's near-complete galaxy undergoes a supernova and becomes a supermassive Black Hole. Mario and Peach are seen walking together and holding hands, once the bridge leading to the castle then breaks apart, separating them both. After that, everything in the universe begins to be pulled into it. The Lumas from the Comet Observatory, including the Luma who had faithfully accompanied Mario through his journey, throw themselves into the Black Hole in order to neutralize it. The Lumas attack the Black Hole's singularity, and it soon disintegrates in a massive explosion. Mario appears in front of Rosalina, who had supposedly saved him from the cataclysm. She tells him that this is not the end, but a new beginning for the universe, and that the universe is an endless cycle, one that never repeats itself in exactly the same way. Mario later awakens in the Mushroom Kingdom near Peach's Castle. He sees everyone he's met throughout his adventure (friend and foe alike) celebrating the recreation of the universe, while Bowser and Peach lie next to him confused. When he looks in the air, he notices the reconstructed galaxy, and exclaims "Welcome! Welcome new galaxy!" as the camera zooms out into space, revealing that the universe has been reconstituted.
ElectricMayhem is working on a sequel, titled "Super Mario Galaxy: The Lost Planet", which will combine elements from Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy 2.

António was very helpful and friendly. He stayed up till very late to welcome us in his appartment. The bathrooms were nice and clean. We had a great time and a great view from the room. I hope we will come back one day :)
The room and bathrooms were clean, and what's more - there were cleaned everyday. It's about 20-30min on foot to the center, but you can take tram or bus to make it faster. There're shops and restaurants in the neighbourhood. Our host was friendly and helpful.
An amazing view from the window!
Being a guests of Antonio was a pleasure and it's worth to recommend.
We were staying three nights in Lisbon in Antonios house. The place is a very typical Portuguese town house near the Santos quarter. The train station Santos is near by and offers an easy access for trips to Bélem and Cascais. The quarters Bairra Alto and Baixa are a 20/25 min walk away.
Antonio was a very gentile host who helped us a lot by planning our trip and let us use the well equipped kitchen. The bedroom and the bathroom were in a well-kept and clean condition.
The stay in Antonio's house was really great. We have got a warm welcome and he is so likeable and helpfull. The room was totally clean and well equipped with all we needed. Also the bathroom was wonderful and comfortable. We felt completely satisfied.
The only thing we regret is that we could not stay longer to enjoy more time with Antonio and his owerwhelming hospitality! Next time in Lisboa we will surely go to him again. Muito obrigado Antonio.
It was very nice to stay at Antonio's place. He was there to give us good tips and information, nothing was too much trouble for him!
The place is well maintained and clean, not the most modern, but nice to stay.
It's located ideally, only a ten minute walk from the Bairro Alto and the city centre.
Nice place with an amazing view ! Between the center and Belem, this place is in a nice area, close to the transport accomodations. Antonio gave us some good advice to visit Lisbo, he is a nice host !
We had a very lovely stay i the apartment. António kindly answers questions and gives advise on what to do in Lisbon. The apartment has a great location and the room is nice and clean.
Staying in this charming house was one of the best things of my holidays in Lisbon. It's located in a typical neighborhood where you can get the so nice 25 tramway for a trip on the hills of the city as the stop is just in front of the house. The oldness of the house is a good thing, it makes your stay even more authentic. Old doesn't mean unkempt. The house has everything you need, it's very clean and comfortable. Besides all this Antonio is really friendly, he even cooked for us the last day! Muito obrigado Antonio!
I really enjoyed staying at Antonio and his mother's place. They are very friendly people. Antonio was very helpful with recommendations or city information and his mother was always doing her best to make my stay easy and enjoyable.
It is a great location, very close to the city center with direct access to all public transports or even walking distance. Antonio's place is very convenient to either enjoy Lisbon or even to go to the beach in Caiscais or visit Sintra.
I was in the room at the back of the building with a beautiful view on the sea. I will definitely come back and stay a bit longer. Thank you Antonio and Edite for your hospitality.
