Supporting the U.S. Navy's humanitarian mission with Google Apps
July 26th, 2010 | Published in Google Apps, Google Enterprise
Editor's Note: We've invited U.S. Navy Captain Douglas Wied to share the story of how Google Apps is being used to improve coordination in disaster relief efforts. Captain Wied currently leads the Navy's effort to develop and foster Non-Classified data sharing among the U.S. and its many international partners focused on improving regional maritime security.
The United States Navy's Maritime Domain Awareness program focuses on improving maritime security around the world. As part of this initiative, the U.S. collaborates with international governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to increase maritime security capabilities in different regions in order to prevent threats like piracy and terrorism, as well as to respond to natural disasters.
Sharing information is critical to maritime security. And most of this information is public – or sensitive but unclassified, as the government calls it. In summer 2008, we began InRelief to improve our collaboration capabilities using Google Apps. InRelief supports the Navy's humanitarian assistance and disaster relief mission. We use email, chat, shared documents, calendars, sites, and other Google applications to support our information sharing needs.
Previously, on U.S. Navy ships, the unclassified network was a U.S. network only, so NGOs or foreign governments could not access it. We set up a Non-Classified Enclave (NCE) as a way to give our partners access. The NCE is a network of virtualized servers located in Miami, Florida that provide secure connectivity. InRelief is basically a cloud-based implementation of NCE.
Our team saw several advantages to building InRelief on Google Apps, including security, scalability, reliability, and other powerful features we didn't have to build ourselves. As part of the military, gaining familiarity the security controls of Google Apps was of critical importance. Our security team met with Google's team and went through in detail how Google implements security. We came away with the understanding that Google Apps is very secure. The fact we're hosted on a FISMA-certified environment allows our team increased flexibility and assurance when collaborating and sharing unclassified but sensitive content and documents.
In the event of a major crisis when we would need a lot of accounts for a short period of time, Google Apps lets us scale easily to as many users as necessary. We can turn them off again when we no longer need them. That's a tremendous asset. It would be really tough – and not cost-effective – to resource a system ourselves that could scale up and down like this.
As for reliability, with Google Apps data is replicated in multiple data centers, so we can be assured we'll have access to our data. Having a single point of failure is a constant challenge with other systems. Particularly when dealing with disasters, knowing the system will be available is a big plus.
Some of the built-in features of Google Apps were critical to our needs. For example, real-time collaborative editing of documents, spreadsheets and presentations supports crisis response planning efforts using multiple personnel who are geographically dispersed. Also, real-time translation in chat can be extremely helpful when we're trying to coordinate efforts with a coalition of people who speak multiple languages.
Another issue we are always concerned about is the training requirements new tools impose on our users. With InRelief, we can give an account to a foreign government representative or NGO and it doesn't take much time for them to get started. Earlier this year, we put Google Apps to test in coordinating a response to the Haiti earthquake. When the Haiti effort kicked off, our team was dispersed. We used the Google collaboration tools – email, chat and shared documents – to get things moving. Even the remote team members could review and contribute to the team's work. Half the people in the group hadn't used Apps before our efforts got underway – they just did it, with no learning curve. Our team is currently using the same capabilities to support relief efforts for the Gulf of Mexico oil spill disaster.
Finally, the concern for developing cost-effective solutions that maximize the benefits of tax dollars spent, our overall costs were hundreds of thousands versus millions of dollars; a significant savings when compared to what we spend to host traditional stovepipe type systems requiring network connectivity, software, hardware, system administrators, information assurance testing, and certification & accreditation.
With InRelief.org, we have a collaborative environment easily accessible with a secure and reliable infrastructure that allows us to respond rapidly to crisis.

Figures from the Investment Management Association suggest that investors have been selling their corporate bond investments. Perhaps they are disillusioned by the funds' relatively poor performance over the last year or so.
However, during that period they were fighting the headwind of rising interest rates. Conditions now look very different, with most people expecting interest-rate cuts of in the region of one percentage point during 2008.
Recently, we have seen corporate bond yields balloon out to levels last seen in the Russian default crisis – close to 1.4 per cent more than government bonds (gilts). Yields are back to where they were around six years ago.
One fund which I think is very much on top of things is the Artemis Strategic Bond Fund, managed by James Foster and Alex Ralph. Mr Foster was on top form when I met him recently. In his view, the cause of the present credit problem was an excess of leverage, resulting from interest rates being left too low for too long. Banks were particularly caught up with this, but are now being forced to bring low-quality assets back on the books because they cannot borrow commercial money.
The upshot is that their balance sheets are being strained; they can't lend money and are running out of cash. What follows this is deflation (or at least lower inflation), which has a dramatic impact on the economy as banks start to offer uncompetitive rates. This is the reason why inter-bank lending rates are so high.
The ultimate consequences of the present problems are obvious. It really doesn't matter what level interest rates fall to if the banks themselves aren't profitable and can't lend money. To see the worst of this you only have to look at Japan, which has interest rates at 0.5 per cent and where for many years banks have not been able to lend money.
However, the central banks in the UK and US are aware of this problem and will be trying to avoid the mistakes made by the Bank of Japan. I am less sure of the European Central Bank, which in my opinion spends far too much time battling inflation and is often the last to move rates down.
So where does all this leave the Artemis Strategic Bond Fund? James Foster expects more defaults in the high-yield space, and this is beginning to be priced into the market. He is still seeing some good bargains and feels he can take advantage of the current panic in financial bonds. He has topped up his positions and now holds 40 per cent of the fund in the financials, giving the fund an attractive yield (after costs) of around 6.1 per cent.
This yield will of course vary, because Mr Foster strives for the best total return and isn't obsessed with yield. I believe that this approach, while giving a fluctuating income, will in the end provide superior returns than a policy that might produce more short-term income, but at the expense of depleting long-term capital.
What I like about the fund is that it is a true managed bond fund. For many clients, it's a superb one-stop shop for your bond portfolio. Most investors don't want to be trading between gilts, high yield and investment grade. So what better than to leave it to a quality outfit like Foster and Ralph?
Mr Foster has always been professionally blunt with his views. When I saw him in 2001-02, he was extremely bearish on equities. What I found interesting this time was that he wasn't entirely negative on equities; in fact, he believes they could make good returns over the next year.
I, like Mr Foster, am not entirely bearish on equities either. Remember that this is a presidential election year in America, which is usually good news for markets. However, I am in no doubt that the overall outlook for 2008 is cloudier than we have seen in recent years. It seems a good idea to have some bond exposure, especially given the likelihood of falling interest rates during 2008.
Most important, that exposure should be via a fund where the manager has maximum flexibility.

Plan: hudson.zones will continue to parse all the jira email traffic. hudson.zones will continue to run the patchAdmin job. hudson patch jobs will be created per slave basis. [rest assured that the patch runs only on that slave] ie. Whenever we plan to add a new hudson slave machine we need to create/add new job hadoop-patch job inhudson explicitly for that slave. slave/master communication happens through parametrized builds and posting values through url. And it seems this parametrized builds are supported since hudson version - 1.278 We have to upgrade our hudson.zones-1.268 to run hudson 1.278 to utilize this feature. Apart from this we have to modify the way the patch admin calls the patch builds to use parametrized builds. Also the test-patch.sh script in the src/test/bin had to be modified to accomodate hudson slave patch builds. Finally the patchqueue html page will show up the currentpatch build's on different slaves at any point in time. > preparing HadoopPatchQueueAdmin.sh,test-patch.sh scripts to run builds on hudson slaves. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5232 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5232 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: build > Reporter: Giridharan Kesavan > Assignee: Giridharan Kesavan > > To modify hadoopPatchQueueAdmin.sh and test-patch.sh script to run patch builds on hudson slaves. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

REVIEW SNAPSHOT®by PowerReviewsCanal Street Copper Candle Lantern - Polished Copper

Comments about Canal Street Copper Candle Lantern - Polished Copper:
I ordered five of these for an outdoor party because they're a clean, simple style that worked for me, made of solid copper, and priced well for their quality. Although they were very well packed, two arrived broken. But When I contacted customer service they immediately sent two replacements which arrived in time for the party. My only caution about these: it's not obvious whether the glass shades can be removed for cleaning or replacement. I found this made it a little trickier to clean out buildup of solidified candle wax in the lantern, but not too bad, and not a problem if you're going to use LED candles or oil candles.
Comments about Canal Street Copper Candle Lantern - Polished Copper:
Title says it all. Understated, un-fussy, and not like everything you find at the big chains. Lots of compliments on this choice.

- The title is listed in media as both "To Love and Die in Dixie" as well as "To Live and Die in Dixie". In addition, various DVD sets also alternate between to two titles. Seth MacFarlane names the episode as "To Love and Die in Dixie" in DVD commentary.
- Peter says that his first job was part of a folk music trio. A flashback shows that he used to be partnered with Simon and Garfunkel, and wanted to title "Mrs. Robinson" "Mrs. Fleckenstein", and sing "parsley, sage, rosemary, and Lawry's Seasoning Salt" instead of "parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme" in "Scarborough Fair." After Paul Simon criticizes his ideas, Peter says "Screw this, I'm goin' to 'Nam." This is another example of continuity being irrelevant. In "Brian Does Hollywood", an episode broadcast in 2000, Stewie says that Peter is 42. "Mrs. Robinson" was written around 1967, meaning he would have been nine or ten years old at the time, not in his twenties as portrayed. Furthering this point is that he looks exactly the same age as in flashbacks to the 1970s, and that "Scarborough Fair" is a ballad that dates back to the Middle Ages.
- One of the criminals in the lineup at the beginning of the episode is Morpheus from The Matrix.
- The pig in the classroom shares traits similar to Arnold Ziffel, the pig on the sitcom Green Acres, who also attended school.
- The robber was the Mass Media Murderer in "The Kiss Seen Around the World".
- When Meg is in class, the students ask if she has "those talking pictures, flying machines and perfume for your armpit." This is referring to televisions, airplanes and deodorant or body spray.
- After plucking a banjo string, Stewie explains "Oh, I feel so deliciously white trash. Mommy, I want a mullet!"; the derided hair style stereotypically associated with poor, rural whites.
- Soon after arriving in Bumblescum, Peter paints the family car to resemble the General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard. After he and Brian race around, impersonating main characters Bo and Luke Duke, Peter suggests getting Chris and Meg to play the show's villains Boss Hogg and Enos Strate who Peter mistakenly calls anus.
- When Chris asks where do you go when you die, his friend says "I learnt at church if you're good you go to heaven, but if you're bad you go to a place where the dead believe they're still living and pray for death, but death won't come" and Chris thinks Hell is UPN, a now-defunct television station that normally aired programming aimed towards African-Americans.
- When Peter and Brian launch the car over a hay bale, a regular stunt on Dukes of Hazzard, Waylon Jennings reprises his role as the show's narrator. This was Waylon Jennings' last role before he died. Another parody of the show occurs when Brian tries to hop into the car through the window, another popular stunt on the show.
- Sam compares Chris to a "skinny Garth Brooks," referring to the country singer's apparent weight gain.
- After being kissed by Sam while still under the impression that Sam is a boy, Chris remarks, "I haven't been this confused since the end of No Way Out!" It is then revealed that Chris' confusion refers to how Kevin Costner keeps getting work, and not the infamous twist at the end of the film.
- This episode contains a humorous Southern version of a Civil War re-enactment, which plays off of real history, as Robert E. Lee was a teetotaler, while Ulysses S. Grant was forced to resign from the military in 1854 because of a drinking problem and did not return until 1861.
- When the bank robber who just escaped prison is interviewed about his plans and he replies, "Yeah, I'm gonna go bang my girlfriend, and then I'm gonna kill Chris Griffin!", Stewie's remark, "Good lord! Can they really say 'bang my girlfriend' on TV?", is a not so subtle commentary aimed at what the censors could and could not allow on network television in terms of language and content. Ironically, the repeats of this episode on Fox bleep out the word "bang" in the line said by the robber.
- Meg incorrectly calls the raccoon which is constantly attacking Peter a rodent. Raccoons are not rodents.
- During the party scene when one of the FBI agents is calling the Griffins to warn them about the escaped convict, you can see Quagmire running past him sporting a foam dome hat and a bra.
- Chris states that he's not allowed to look at his reflection in the toilet water after Sam says that her Grandpappy dies after saving his reflection from drowning.
- Peter gets mauled by a raccoon: 1. That jumps out of the TV 5 minutes after arriving; 2. That jumps out of the fridge; 3. That jumps out of Lois' blouse; and 4. That jumps out of his pistol.
- The FBI Agents are playing a video game where a police officer and an alien shoot each other.
- Stewie's band is names 'Stewie and the Cowtones'.
- Herbert leaves 113 messages on the answering machine in his first appearance on Family Guy.
- Brian references the scene where Peter rolls up the window to the General Lee in "The Fat Guy Strangler", when he throws a rock at him for revenge.
- Peter chides Chris for not claiming that the robber of the convenience store was Celine Dion, calling the opportunity "our one chance to put that show-boating Canadian wench behind bars."
- An interview with ALF is on TV.
- Jeff Foxworthy shows up inside the closet of the Griffins' new home.
- Peter spots a "Crunch Berry," a variation of Cap'n Crunch breakfast cereal beneath the refrigerator.
- A DJ on a country music station says "We just heard Merle Haggard with 'I Kissed My Sweetie with My Fist.'"
- Peter confuses the "Mason-Dixon Line with Bosom Buddies actress Donna Dixon.
- After an argument, one of the FBI agents staying at the Griffins house draws "boobs" on an Etch-A-Sketch toy, to which the other one says "Go ahead, they always come out square!"
- A segue between scenes shows Buck Owens, host of Hee Haw, another television show that takes place in the rural south.
- Stewie makes an announcement that there is a John Deere tractor parked on top of a pig.

Whole grains may reduce risk of premature death, study finds
Posted: 13 June 2016 | | No comments yet
A study shows that people who ate 70 grams/day of whole grains, compared with those who ate little whole grains, had a 22% lower risk of total mortality…
Eating more whole grains may reduce the risk of premature death, according to a new study.
Researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that people who ate the most whole grains (70 grams/day, about 4 servings), compared with those who ate little or no whole grains, had a lower risk of dying during the study period.
Their findings support current dietary guidelines that recommend 48 grams of whole grains a day.
The meta-analysis combined results from 12 published studies, in addition to unpublished results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III and NHANES 1999-2004. The studies were conducted in the United States, the United Kingdom, or in Scandinavian countries between 1970 and 2010. Health information from 786,076 participants was included in the analysis.
Lower risk of total mortality
The results showed that people who ate 70 grams/day of whole grains, compared with those who ate little or no whole grains, had a 22% lower risk of total mortality, a 23% lower risk of CVD mortality, and a 20% lower risk of cancer mortality.
Mortality rate is a measure of the number of deaths in a particular population for a specific period of time.
The researchers note that multiple bioactive compounds in whole grains could contribute to their health benefits, and that high fibre content may lower cholesterol production and glucose response and increase satiety.
The researchers recommend that people choose foods that are high in whole grain ingredients – such as bran, oatmeal, and quinoa – that have at least 16 grams per serving, while reducing consumption of unhealthy refined carbohydrates.
One limitation of the meta-analysis was that some of the studies used were carried out before a more consistent definition of whole grains became available; therefore, lists of whole grain foods varied substantially among individual studies. In addition, as most of the studies were from the US and Scandinavian countries, it is not known whether these findings can be generalised to other populations.

Ad-Hoc Distribution
- PDF for offline use
- Related Articles:
Let us know how you feel about this
Translation Quality
This document gives an overview of the Ad Hoc distribution techniques that are primarily used for testing an Xamarin.iOS applications with a wide group of people.
This article gives a brief introduction to the following topics:
- Getting Set up for Distribution
- Ad Hoc Distribution
Once an Xamarin.iOS app has been developed, the next step in the software development lifeycle is to distribute the app to users for testing.
iTunes Connect is one option for managing app testing and is described more in the TestFlight guide. However, members of the Apple Developer Enterprise Program do not have access to iTunes connect, so Ad Hoc distribution is the best method of testing these apps.
Xamarin.iOS applications can be user-tested via ad hoc distribution, which is available on both the Apple Developer Program and the Apple Developer Enterprise Program, and allows up to 100 iOS devices to be tested.
Ad hoc distribution has the advantage of not requiring App Store approval, and it can be installed over-the-air from a web server, or via iTunes. It is, however, limited to 100 devices per membership year, for both development and distribution, and these must be manually added in the Member Center by their UDID. For more information on adding devices, visit the Device Provisioning guide.
Ad hoc distribution requires that applications be provisioned using an Ad Hoc provisioning profile containing code signing information, as well as the identity of the application and the devices that can install the application.
This guide will provide information on Provisioning for Ad Hoc distribution, and information on how to distribute a Xamarin.iOS app.
Getting Set Up for Distribution
Even if you plan to release a Xamarin.iOS application for In-House Deployment, for testing purposes, you'll need to build an Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning Profile specific to it. This profile allows an application to be digitally signed for release so that it can be installed on an iOS device.
The next section will describe how to get set up with a Distribution Certificate and a Distribution Provisioning Profile.
Creating a Distribution Certificate
- Browse to the Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles section of the Apple Developer Member Center.
- Under Certificates, select Production.
- Click the + button to create a new Certificate.
Under the Production heading, select In-House and Ad Hoc, or App Store and Ad Hoc, depending on your program membership:
Click Continue, and follow the instructions to create a Certificate Signing Request via Keychain Access:
Once you have created the CSR as instructed, click Continue, and upload the CSR to the Member Center:
Click Generate to create a certificate.
- Finally, Download the completed certificate and double-click on the file to install it.
- At this point, the certificate should be installed on the machine, but you may need to Refresh your profiles to ensure that they are visible in Xcode.
If you are not a Team Agent or Admin, it is possible to request a Certificate via the Preferences dialog in Xcode, which will then be approved by an Admin. To do this, follow the steps below:
Next, click the Create button next to iOS Distribution Certificate:
Depending on your team privileges, the signing identity will be generated, as shown below, or you may have to wait until a team agent or admin approves it:
Creating a Distribution Provisioning Profile
Creating an App ID
As with any other Provisioning Profile you create, an App ID will be required to identify the App that will be distributed to the user's device. If you haven't already created this, follow the steps below to create one:
- In the Apple Developer Center browse to the Certificate, Identifiers and Profiles section. Select App IDs under Identifiers.
- Click the + button and provide a Name which will identify it in the Portal.
- The App prefix should be already set as your Team ID, and cannot be changed. Select either an Explicit or Wildcard App ID, and enter a Bundle ID in a reverse DNS format like:
- Explicit: com.[DomainName].[AppName]
- Wildcard:com.[DomainName].*
- Select any App Services that your app requires.
- Click the Continue button and follow the on screen instructions to create the new App ID.
Once you have the required components needed for creating a Distribution Profile, follow the steps below to create it:
Return to the Apple Provisioning Portal and select Provisioning > Distribution:
Click the + button and select the type of Distribution Profile that you want to create as Ad-Hoc:
Click the Continue button and select App ID from the dropdown list that you want to create a Distribution Profile for:
Click the Continue button and select distribution certificate required to sign the application:
Click the Continue button and enter a Name for the new Distribution Profile:
Click the Generate button to create the new profile and finalize the process.
Selecting a Distribution Profile in a Xamarin.iOS Project
When you are ready to do a final build of a Xamarin.iOS application, select the Distribution Profile that was created above.
- Double-click the project name in the Solution Explorer to open it for edit.
- Select iOS Bundle Signing and the type of build from the Configuration dropdown:
- In most cases, the Signing Identity and the Provisioning Profile can be left as a default values of Automatic and Xamarin Studio will choose the correct profile, based on the Bundle Identifier in the Info.plist:
- If required, select the Signing Identity and Distribution Profile (the one created above) from the drop-downs:
- Click the OK button to save the changes.
- Right-click the project name in the Solution Explorer and select Properties to open it for edit.
- Select iOS Bundle Signing and the type of build from the Configuration dropdown:
- In most cases, the Signing Identity and the Provisioning Profile can be left as a default values of Automatic and Xamarin Studio will choose the correct profile, based on the Bundle Identifier in the Info.plist:
- If required, select the Signing Identity and Distribution Profile (the one created above) from the drop-downs:
- Save the changes to the project's Properties.
Ad Hoc Distribution
While TestFlight is a popular means of beta testing and distribution, it is part of iTunes Connect, and is therefore unavailable to members of the Apple Developer Enterprise Program.
Ad Hoc Distribution allows developers to beta test apps on a wide range of devices when iTunes connect is not an option. Ad-Hoc works in a similar way to In-House Distribution, and requires an IPA to be created, which can then be distributed either over-the-air, or manually via iTunes.
IPA Support for Ad Hoc Deployment
Once provisioned, applications can be packaged into a file known as an IPA. This is a zip file that contains the application, along with additional metadata and icons. The IPA is used to add an application locally into iTunes so that it can be synced directly to a device that is included in the provisioning profile.
For more information on creating an IPA, see IPA Support guide.
This article explained the Ad Hoc distribution mechanisms, which are required for testing Xamarin.iOS applications.

A mile in their shoes: understanding empathy
February 15, 2012
The human brain evolved to ensure our survival. One example of that survival instinct is our sense of competition – historically, it's part of what drives us to wage wars over power and resources. But an equally powerful survival tactic is our ability to love and cooperate with others.
"A lot of times, that story never gets told," says Karen Gerdes, a social worker at ASU. She is interested in empathy, which is the ability to perceive the world from other people's points of view and to feel what they are feeling. Empathy is a complex emotion because it involves both unconscious, involuntary responses and conscious, cognitive processes. For example, suppose you've had a traumatic experience, like losing a loved one.

Standoff ensues after Ohio student flashes pellet gun at cop
The teen was taken into custody after telling the resource officer he had a gun and revealed the weapon
By John Seewer
Associated Press
TOLEDO, Ohio — A high school student in Ohio says there were some scary moments when a disruptive 14-year-old flashed a pellet gun at a police officer, leading to a short standoff.
Police in Toledo say the student was taken into custody Monday morning after the standoff ended. No one was injured.
Sixteen-year-old Kayla Williams says the teen had been kicked out of class and sent to a room for students serving in-school suspensions.
She says that's where the boy told a school police officer that he had a gun and briefly took it out of a bag.
Williams says she was just a few feet away and that the gun looked real. She says students ran out of the room screaming.
Police say the teen then was isolated in a hallway.

ICEoxford restructures end user training program
When dealing with engineering equipment, end user training in one of the most important services that clients expect of suppliers. The quality of end user training will impact the performance of the equipment, its useful life and its ROI.
News of ICEoxford's restructuring its end user training program has therefore been lauded by industry players as a step in the right direction. The quality of the program and its focus on the specific technical aspects of each machine and piece of equipment is expected to improve customer satisfaction and the useful life of the equipment the company supplies to its customers.
One of the changes that have been implemented in the end user program is the introduction of worldwide customer site training for international clients as well as training at the ICE factory. This allows clients to choose the option that is most convenient for them.
Perhaps this move is meant to keep ICEoxford on a winning path after its triumph at the 2012 West Oxfordshire Business Awards where they received the Bloxham Mill Small Business Award.

Express Scripts Extremely Dissatisfied Houston Texas Nationwide
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I couldn't agree more with all of the other negative reviews regarding Express Scripts. I am rarely able to fill a prescription via Express Scripts without having an issue. the largest issue is having to wait ~2 weeks to receive the medication via mail. I am able to fill a short term prescription a few times locally, but am either told I must pay a larger fee or am only able to fill twice per year. This is especially frustrating for someone who travels often and doesn't have time to wait for medication to arrive in the mail before departing on a business trip. Express Scripts is simply a hassle.

We all know that Robert Griffin III is a competitor, and it's to be expected that if he's benched for any reason, he won't be happy about it. When asked on Monday how he felt about not playing in any preseason games, this was his answer, in full.
"I can't B.S. that answer, so no. I don't like it," he said. "There's some part of it I do understand. I don't understand all of it. But at the end of the day, [Coach Mike Shanahan] gave me his word. We talked privately. I know the plan. I'm not telling the whole plan because he doesn't want the whole plan known. I understand that as well. But I don't understand the whole plan at all. I can't lie about that. But when you give your word to somebody that's all you have, so I'm just banking that they're gonna stay true to their word and I'm staying true to mine. I'm doing everything they ask me to do without any gripes other than with you guys, and that's that's how you have to do it."
"Basically, the parts that I don't understand is it's been fixed. The process of my reintegration to the team has been fixed without any aspect of how I'm doing personally with my knee, with my surgery, with my knee rehab. It's pre-determined. That's the one thing I don't understand. Like coach said, and he's 100 percent right, I don't have to understand it. I don't have to like it. But at the end of the day, if he plays me week one and I'm ready to go then I'll give him a salute and I'll go play my butt off for him."
RGIII's obvious dissatisfaction with his rehab plan, combined with his father's penchant for speaking his mind, have opened the door for some harsh criticism. Such as this from Jason Whitlock, whose most recent column is titled, "RGIII needs to man up and shut up." Whitlock opined that RGIII may feel threatened by Kirk Cousins, and is reiterating his belief that the Redskins quarterback is arrogant, and is adding insecure and selfish to the list.
During last season's playoffs, Griffin stayed on the field long after it was obvious his knee injury made him completely ineffective. I wrote a column at the time stating Griffin demanded to stay in the game because of arrogance. I should've pointed to arrogance, insecurity and selfishness.
He wanted the glory of leading the Redskins to victory, and he wanted to deny Cousins a role in it. Griffin's foolishness cost Washington the game, a contest it led 14-0.
Whitlock goes on to call RGIII a " mouthy, leverage-having quarterback" who would have complained to reporters if Shanahan had benched him. He then finished with this sharp-tongued closing.
Right now, Griffin comes across like a kid in love with drama and running his mouth. He wants to be the lead story on SportsCenter more than he wants to build a relationship of trust with his head coach.
If that's not enough RGIII tough love for you, here's Stephen A. Smith with his surprisingly reasonable take.
"RGIII is the franchise. RGIII is the face of this franchise," said Smith, on Tuesday morning's First Take. "He is too viable, too important to be in meaningless preseason games. And on top of it all, he's coming off an ugly, nasty ACL injury. I don't have time for his feelings, his emotions or whatever the case may be.
"And more importantly, you see that man, RGIII? You hear him talking? You see the way he articulates himself and carries himself? He is a highly intelligent young man. What do you mean, you don't understand? It insults all of our intelligence to act like you don't understand. You know exactly what the [heck] Mike Shanahan is doing. You just don't like it. So you want to feign ignorance and act like you don't know, or act like you can't comprehend. Yes you can. You most certainly can. He is not interested in putting you in danger, and putting the Redskins season in danger because of a preseason game."
As is always the case in situations of criticism or tyrannies of political correctness, RGIII took to Twitter to speak his mind some more.
There is no friction. There is an understanding between coach and player. That is all. Don't have to like everything
— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) August 12, 2013
Patiently waiting and vigorously preparing at the same time

The great thing about this fly fishing is there's always something to learn, which keeps me motivated.
Waters you call home
Big Fishing Creek, Spring Creek, Little J, and Penns
Funny Fact
Although I wrote a book on nymph fishing-it's my least favorite tactic
Personal beliefs on fly fishing
Keep a beginner's mindset and you'll never get bored with this great activity.
Species you specialize in
Trout but want to expand into other species in the coming years.
Preferred fishing method
Love tossing streamers from a drift boat
Favorite RIO Line
RIO Gold-In Touch
Why RIO
The company's dedication to making the best fly lines through pursuing the best components and technology available.
Favorite Knot
Davy Knot-quick, easy, and strong
Special Rigging Techniques
Keep a working box of flies. Too often anglers carry way too many flies and become overwhelmed when looking through their box. A working box contains the patterns you plan to fish with for the day – a small box that is easily accessible that can be hung around your next or fits easily into a small pocket.
Best Fly Fishing Tip
Find a mentor to keep you motivated to learn as much as you can. A good mentor can speed up the learning curve. My mentor, Joe Humphreys still keeps me humble and motivated to this very day.
Parting thoughts
Fly fishing is what you make it. That is, you can learn the bare minimum and catch fish, or you can take it to the next level-trying to improve every aspect of your game. The great thing about this activity is there's always something to learn, which keeps me motivated.
Also, find someone to fish with that enjoys it as much as you do. My best days on the water are with my wife, along with our two children, Logan and Evangeline. The experience is so much better when you share it with someone else.

'Bigg Boss' got the men and the women swapping roles for a day inside the house.
While Juhi and Sunny enjoyed being the 'men' they declared at the end of the fashion show doen by the guys that women were not weak. A catch phrase for the two for quite a while now that the sex ration has flipped in the Bigg Boss house.
According to the rules of the task, the men in the house had to dress up as girls and the girls as men.
The 5 contestants were given songs to perform on and props to go with it.
The 'ladies' had to do a ramp walk and try to impress Juhi and Sunny to be picked - The most Beautiful Woman' in the house.
The 'men' on the other hand had to take on each other in two 'strength' test games.
While Juhi won one match, Sunny won the other - and Sky who was the referee declared them joint winners.
Juhi and Sunny also declared all the 'ladies' as winners - stating that all women were beautiful.
All through out the day - the girls were to behave like guys and the guys like girls.
Sky was dressed up by Juhi and Sunny who seemed to be very entertained by the task.
Amar had to pick one of the girls ass his prop for the song - 'In the Night No Control'.
Amar picked Juhi for the song and he played his part of a seductress. Juhi took it in better spirits than Sunny did.
Sunny was complaining again about how Amar is too 'touchy-feely' and how she had repeatedly asked Amar to not pick her up during the rain dance party.
Juhi agreed with Sunny as always and Sky was also there with his consent.
The 5 remaining contestants - Siddharth, Sky, Amar, Sunny and Juhi were quite happy during their tasks but went back to their own groups once the task was over.

Something interesting is happening in security…we're starting to see interest in "cyber" insurance from several interesting quarters. Ignoring whether the adjective "cyber" is appropriate, the fact that it's on the table is a big deal. In some ways, it represents a coming of age of security and recognition of the importance of security and what it means to truly live and do business in a connected world.
The basics of insurance are quite simple: aggregate the statistical likelihood of incidents over a population, multiply it by the cost per incident to determine the payout, add in a profit margin and spread the "cost" over the population. For the members of that population, that means that if lightning strikes you in particular, you're ok; and if it doesn't, it's a negligible cost. It's really a straightforward set of equations, that could be expressed this way:
I highlighted the cost (C) and damage per incident (D) in red because these are what truly needs to be known for insurance companies to be viable and succeed in any market, cyber or otherwise. Oh, and here's the tricky part, they have to be predictable. If C and D aren't predictable and instead vary wildly, then the profit ratio has to grow to cover risk. In fact the second equation might instead look like this, where risk (r) has to grow proportionately:
In a world where you don't know C and D, the rates per customer (R) get very high. The best way to limit this is to bound the cases where an insurance company might pay out and then get very good historical data to drive predictive models for future incidents. And there's the rub: there isn't enough of the right sorts of data at the moment in the right places for insurance companies to cover their risk affordably. The body of history (and the complete lack of case law on this) is daunting to insurance companies.
So as mergers and acquisitions are driving buyers to send those being bought to get cyber insurance and as new regulations are dictating "thou shalt have cyber insurance," new policies are coming on the scene. What I've seen is CISOs at insurance firms suddenly being brought into business decisions. I've also seen the re-insurers start to ask about how to re-insure cyber insurance policies, and that's when you know that you've hit the big time in the insurance world.
The actuarial tables are being built. The data is being sought, and frankly this is an exciting thing for security. For years, we've struggled as an industry to demonstrate business alignment to the rest of the company and to show business value. Well, this is the time. Do we know risk in IT? Sure. But do we know business risk like the insurance industry? Not even close.
Much of the security industry has proven to be iatrogenic, where it becomes undeniable in the microcosm that a particular control or process should be adopted; but in the bigger picture it becomes clear that our gear is making a mess. So much of security (as I discussed in the last blog) could be thrown away and wouldn't only not reduce security but might also help it. I am particularly relishing the idea that a prescriptive regulation one day may come out and say "deploy control Y" at the same time as it requires cyber insurance, a policy for which might demonstrate the deleterious effects of a control and how removing "Y" might in fact reduce the C and D above (chance of and incident and damage from an incident).
And as more insurers build their tables and publish (as they are required) what factors drive their policies, we will get more transparency and understanding of the world of IT security and a real seat at the table where security belongs, mitigating business risk. To continue the theme of my earlier blog, the insurance industry (when it gets the data right and the tables built) may help us determine a natural spending period of tools and determine what to invest in and what to discard.
That's a nice thought.
In the meantime though, I highly recommend that insurers bound cyber insurance carefully and truly understand that in a world of Human-to-Human conflict that there is no such thing as a "Hack of God."

Involvement of the putative Ca2+-permeable mechanosensitive channels, NtMCA1 and NtMCA2, in Ca2+ uptake, Ca2+-dependent cell proliferation and mechanical stress-induced gene expression in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) BY-2 cells

To gain insight into the cellular functions of the mid1-complementing activity (MCA) family proteins, encoding putative Ca2+-permeable mechanosensitive channels, we isolated two MCA homologs of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) BY-2 cells, named NtMCA1 and NtMCA2. NtMCA1 and NtMCA2 partially complemented the lethality and Ca2+ uptake defects of yeast mutants lacking mechanosensitive Ca2+ channel components. Furthermore, in yeast cells overexpressing NtMCA1 and NtMCA2, the hypo-osmotic shock-induced Ca2+ influx was enhanced. Overexpression of NtMCA1 or NtMCA2 in BY-2 cells enhanced Ca2+ uptake, and significantly alleviated growth inhibition under Ca2+ limitation. NtMCA1-overexpressing BY-2 cells showed higher sensitivity to hypo-osmotic shock than control cells, and induced the expression of the touch-inducible gene, NtERF4. We found that both NtMCA1-GFP and NtMCA2-GFP were localized at the plasma membrane and its interface with the cell wall, Hechtian strands, and at the cell plate and perinuclear vesicles of dividing cells. NtMCA2 transcript levels fluctuated during the cell cycle and were highest at the G1 phase. These results suggest that NtMCA1 and NtMCA2 play roles in Ca2+-dependent cell proliferation and mechanical stress-induced gene expression in BY-2 cells, by regulating the Ca2+ influx through the plasma membrane.

After rhinoplasty my nose is still a little asymmetric. Is it because of the swelling?
Dear doctors, I had an open surgery about 2 weeks ago. They worked on the tip, septum and bridge. My surgeon is on vacation and I am hopeless right now, and can't contact with him. Before the surgery my nose was asymmetric and now the surgery is done the asymmetric side is still a little skew. I feel like the asymmetric side is more swollen right now. I also have opened the suture on the asymmetric side, is it a big problem and will it affect the final result? Thanks
Doctor Answers 6
Dont worry yet
It is almost impossible to accuaretly evaluate your nose this soon after surgery. You are at best 10% healed. You will see many changes over the next 6-12 months. Just be patient and remember how much swelling you have right now.
Asymmetry two weeks after rhinoplasty often times is the result of swelling.
At two weeks you have a lot of remodeling to do is the swelling subsides. Don't get to focused on the present appearance as it will change significantly over time.
Web reference: http://www.zubowicz.com/subpag,25-atlanta-rhinoplasty.htm
Asymmetry and rhinoplasty
First, no nose is perfectly symmetric or perfectly straight. Second you are probably very swollen and you have to give it time to settle down.
Web reference: http://www.stevenwallachmd.com/procedures/rhinoplasty-new-york/
You might also like...
Yes, most likely it is the swelling. Swelling may take up to a year to resolve. In my answers elsewhere where I advise a patient and describe a nasal massage post-rhinoplasty. Hope this will help.
Early anxiety after a rhinoplasty
Swelling will play many tricks on you. You are very early in the post operative recovery period after a rhinoplasty. Give it 6 months before you start to judge the final result.
Asymmetry after rhinoplasty
Asymmetry is very normal 2 weeks after a rhinoplasty is normal. It will take a few months to really be able to see your result. Post-op swelling will change daily and it does not go down evenly. As far as the suture goes, I am sure if you speak to your doctor, he/she will put your fears to rest. A suture breaking through after a rhinoplasty is also normal, but you need to speak to your doctor.

Melting of frozen frustrations
|In the crystals of some oxygen-containing compounds, electron spins are arranged at the edges of the tetrahedrons that make up the crystal structure (Fig. 1). In the absence of an external magnetic field, these materials should be non-magnetic, with the same number of spins pointing in each direction. In a crystal, there are endless configurations for achieving this. At low temperatures, spins do not have enough energy to rearrange themselves, and thus the system is frozen into one of these arrangements. These materials are referred to as a spin ice, in analogy to water ice, which is a random arrangement of water molecules.
|Figure 1: In spin ice crystals, the magnetic spins of electrons (black and blue arrows) make it difficult for the system to reach its lowest energy state. Quantum interactions can cause spins to flip and lead to ring-like, aligned arrangements of the spins (blue arrows). (Image: Shigeki Onoda, RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science)
|Now, Shigeki Onoda and Yasuyuki Kato from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science have performed calculations to investigate how, at low temperatures, quantum effects in these materials can cause them to melt ("Numerical Evidence of Quantum Melting of Spin Ice: Quantum-to-Classical Crossover"). Their findings highlight the importance of quantum physics in helping systems to reach favorable energy states.
|While, according to classical physics, the spins in a spin ice should be frozen at low temperatures, quantum effects allow the spins to interact with each other. The quantum nature of spins allows for exchanging nearest-neighbor spins, explains Onoda. Such a system is thus termed a quantum spin ice.
|By performing computer calculations, the researchers studied how at low temperatures these quantum interactions cause the quantum spin ice to melt through flipping of spins. Through these quantum effects, the spins can align (blue spins in Fig. 1) and can collectively change their orientation. These collective changes of spin patterns can travel through the crystal in a similar way to particles of light, and are thus dubbed photons.
|The next task is to experimentally verify these theoretical predictions, explains Onoda. We are working on directly relevant models to experimental systems in order to propose experimental observations of quantum spin ice photons and provide theoretical predictions. This would bring scientists a step closer to uncovering how photons and magnetic monopoles emerge spontaneously in materials.

Shearman & Sterling's entire day-time document production department faces redundancy as the firm develops a career path of its secretarial role.
All six staff in the department are currently in the one-month redundancy consultation process, which follows the introduction of the role of secretarial team leader next week.
Two secretaries will be promoted to the role internally and two hired externally to improve the efficiency of document production during the day, as it is understood that the day-time document production team was not fully utilised.
When asked whether this was a cost-saving measure HR manager Lois Gordon said: "This is purely about the development of the secretarial role that has been going on for some time though clearly there will be a saving."
The evening document production team of approximately 10 staff is not affected.

oops! I accidently erased my first review of this. First off the price of this was incredible. Only $1 at the Dollar Store (duh). The crayon itself is like a "chubby stick" and the color is a creamy shimmery medium pink with a golden gleam throughout. It is very attractive. I have never tried it on my eyes but I thought it was a gorgeous color to put on your lips. A teensy bit dry for lips but nothing a dab of gloss can't fix. Neat product!

Euro Zone M3 Money Supply Continues To Tighten
Release Explanation: Measurement of the value of cash, currency and cash assets held by the public. Monetary policy controls the supply and cost of money and credit. "A central bank will increase the supply of money and decrease the cost of borrowing to stimulate an economy and vice versa to slow down an economy. While measuring the cost of borrowing is fairly easy (yield on Treasury Bonds), measuring the money supply can be a more daunting task," TheLFB-Forex.com Trade Team said.
TheLFB-Forex.com Trade Desk Thoughts: The Euro zone M3 number hit the wires at 5.1%, much lower than what analysts had previously estimated. The number for the month of February was revised to 5.8%, slightly lower than the initial release.
"The Euro area M3 was expanding at a very strong pace in the last few quarters, but it seems now the pace of growth is starting to slow. The number of Private Loans in the Euro-zone tumbled down to 3.2% from one year earlier, also under the forecasted number, reflecting the tougher credit conditions," TheLFB-Forex.com Trade Team noted
Forex Technical Reaction: The euro traded side-ways during the European session, but advanced 60 pips during the Asian trading hours. Against the pound, the euro lost 20 pips today.

Besides that, the "resort" was situated a 5-minute walk from the Station 3. It was simply perfect! We were so grateful to Roby because we would have never found this place without his unintentional help. We were hoping to be able to take a massage with him but it turned out to be way too expensive (PHP 400, full body, one hour).

On most days we buy mango & banana from the local fruit stalls for our ...
Eat, Swim, Drink, Relax, Sleep - It's Boracay!!!
Monday morning we were up and ready to head off to Boracay, the resort island about 90 minutes from Allan's town. While in the past we have taken public transportation, we booked a van for about 25 dollars to bring us all there door to door. As I have noted before, driving in the Philippines is a bit of an adventure, and the van drivers are the adventurers. Speed limits? What are those? White Lines? Decorations.

The next morning, we were up early searching for a place. We got lucky and found something, but it was expensive, considering the toilet and shower were broken. We spent the next few nights in Boracay moving from place to place, but never really having a home for the time that we were there. Boracay was nice. ...

The Luxury Visionaries 2016
Hello, sailors – and prepare to set a course for Gucci. The first look of this spring/summer collection, a slim white suit with two navy bands of piping at the sleeves, semaphored the no-nautical-reference-unturned clothes to come.
An eight-buttoned (gold) navy blazer was Gucci's elegant take on the ultimate sea-borne tailoring classic. For regatta ragazzi, a pale cream blazer with piping at the pockets and stripes in the reverse was so thin you could make out more stripes on the internal lining. There was a tricolour boilersuit and a knit vest – two garments well below captain class, but expressed with panache. A white uniform jacket had '21. G' stamped on its collar in gold lettering.
For shore leave there were some relaxed chinos rolled up high. A navy jumper – a luxury fisherman's jersey – was embroidered with a flashy new nautical Gucci logo. Duffle bags were in leather; white snaffle loafers in crocodile; and there were some great white pumps far too refined for risking on deck. For evening there were black suits that combined piratical dash with more naval flashes.
Tightly focused yet with more than enough creativity to ensure the maritime theme did not become monotonous, this Frida Giannini collection should sail out of the stores.

~~Moose Hunt~~
Moose are not only elusive, they are so skittish! IF you happen to see one...and if you want to capture it...in pictures, you must be extremely quiet...and fast on the brakes and the trigger (camera trigger, of course)!
I thought the "Barely Legal" sign was just plain silliness until I researched how difficult it really is to determine if a moose is legal to shoot.
The hunters' mantra, "Any doubt, don't shoot."
~~See Fish Fly~~
Kenai Peninsula is one of the prettiest places I've ever seen with a constant sea breeze, cawing of the gulls and slapping of waves against the shoreline.
A five-mile round trip hike into the forest presented the Russian River Falls...which, in turn, presented flying fish! (Salmon were jumping upstream to spawn.)

It is said that Putney and its neighbours in south-west London are experiencing "Shoreditch-ification" — an optimistic extrapolation from the arrival of a few cocktail bars at the river end of Putney High Street and the presence in the area's cheaper pockets of a handful more twentysomethings. This has the ring of estate agency flattery and, as a twentysomething who lived in Putney not so long ago before moving to Shoreditch, I can reliably dismiss the claim. (If anything, I would say Shoreditch is Putney-fying — recalibrating its wares for the newly resident junior financiers and their families, formerly of SW.)
Evidence, were it needed, that Putney isn't turning into Shoreditch can be found if you jump off the District line at East Putney and walk five minutes along Upper Richmond Road to the area's newest eaterie. Hide and Seed is a farm-to-table restaurant but its dining area looks like the lobby of a business-y boutique hotel, which is what it is (it occupies the ground floor of the Lodge Hotel, opened eight years ago by young hotelier Ben Hirschfeld, and sources some of its ingredients and produce from the hotel's farm in Essex).
The very dark "library" area where we were seated has the dreary black-and-white photographs of rowing and tennis scenes requisite in boutique hotels, framed on the wood-panelled wall. "Fully booked tonight:)" is what head chef Ricardo Soares (@rsoaresfc) tweeted the night after my visit — it has 30 covers. It certainly wasn't when we were there: the library was empty when we arrived, like hotel libraries — built for show, not reading — tend to be.
Thankfully, the food was more convincing than the weird setting. The pig's head, cooked for 22 hours and served with smoked pepper jam and cucumber, is eye-catching on the menu but lacked flavour, my friend reported, though she enjoyed the crispy ear. The tangy, slightly anaemic-looking scallops were made up for by an inventive accompaniment of pea, asparagus and roasted tomato.
Next was an 8oz farm sirloin, which came out tender on the inside and coated with delicious burnt onion and jindungo ketchup. The halibut, which arrived sitting on puréed purple potato next to smoked cauliflower, was lovely. Through the gloom I could just about ascertain that it looked pretty, too.
There were no such hits on the pudding menu. The chocolate arrangement was satisfactory but the beetroot cream cheese sorbet with strawberry and rhubarb caramel was not, as advertised, "heaven sent".
At the showy cocktail bar, an assemblage of granite, antique mirrors and animal hides, fruity drinks are flavoured by berries and herbs from the garden. The tasty Greenhouse cocktail (Havana rum and angostura bitters) might feature mint and lime from the patch, and yes, the pleasant Madagascan Plantation (rum, vanilla and champagne) is flavoured with Essex pear, though I can't imagine the people of this parish caring one way or another about that.
Like everything here, it seems curiously contrived.
52-54 Upper Richmond Road, SW15 (020 8874 1598, hideandseed.co.uk). Open Mon-Sat, 6pm-11pm. A meal for two with cocktails, about £120, including 10 per cent serviceReuse content
