Albert Oriol
CIO, Rady Children's Hospital - San Diego
That system lets it pull data from monitors of vital signs at every bed in the hospital, and anesthesia devices talk directly to the Epic anesthesia module, saving anesthesiologists time recording data in the EHR. "They're actually very happy with that," CIO Albert Oriol says. Rady brought this system online at the same time it went live with electronic anesthesia documentation.
The hospital also is experimenting with drawing data from home-based devices, including glucometers, heart monitors and asthma inhalers. That project is a proof of concept for the institutional review board. Clinicians have to go to a website to see the data, but eventually this will be directly integrated with the EHR.
"We're doing this now without [direct] integration per se because we want to prove that the integration works before we invest in it," Oriol says. "This could be an avalanche of data for our clinicians."
Oriol is convinced that "we will be able to take better care of the patient if we can monitor their health on an ongoing basis," Oriol says.
Oriol faces less stringent Meaningful Use compliance pressures than many on this list. Children's hospitals and pediatricians don't see Medicare patients, so they're only eligible for the Medicaid side of federal health IT incentives. That means fewer requirements and more room to experiment. "We approached MU with a different mindset," Oriol says.

Cris Ross
CIO, Mayo Clinic
For example, Mayo has established an online service called AskMayoExpert (AME). The program provides clinicians with snapshots of specific cases and offers what Mayo considers the best treatments. AME also gives its physicians direct access to Mayo experts, says Ross, who joined Mayo in August 2012.
Not satisfied with that outreach initiative, Mayo's board of directors recently outlined one of its most ambitious undertakings yet. By 2020, it wants to expand its reach from nearly 2 million patient contacts a year to 200 million. Since that can't happen through in-person patient visits alone, the clinic is using telemedicine initiatives and other online services to help reach that lofty goal.

Rasu Shrestha
VP, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
Shrestha, as VP of medical IT and medical director of interoperability and imaging informatics, is responsible for helping UPMC make better use of its data. UPMC is a $10 billion-a-year integrated health insurer and healthcare provider, operating more than 20 hospitals and serving nearly 1.6 million members. With roots in academic research, it's among the leaders in using IT to help healthcare move away from a fee-for-services to a pay-for-performance model.
UPMC initially put its resources into creating a technology foundation, including widespread conversion from paper to digital medical records and from film-based medical imaging to filmless technology. Phase two now focuses on using electronic health records and digital imaging to drive this more patient-centric system that delivers better care at the bedside.
From a technological standpoint, this journey has meant semantically harmonizing long lists of the medical jargon clinicians use and mapping it to the nationally accepted dictionaries of medical terms that are coded into most software, such as SNOMED, LOINC and RxNorm.
How does that translate to better care at the bedside? When Ms. Jones comes into a UPMC emergency room with a heart attack, clinicians will use the emergency room's electronic medical record system from Cerner to enter her condition and medications. More importantly, if the patient was previously given nitroglycerin in one of UPMC's ambulatory care facilities, which use Epic EMR software, the doctors in the ER can read that medication note and understand its relevance to the patient's current myocardial infarction, despite it being in an EMR from a different vendor. "We are able to map that medication to any one of our other EMRs throughout the health system, the health information exchange, and to the data warehouse on the back end, including on the payer side," says Shrestha.
While health systems struggle with health information exchange within their walls and across the nation, UPMC has made strides in both areas. But its crowning achievement to date, led by Shrestha and his team, has been establishing fully integrated, enterprise-wide interoperability. Because of that, UPMC is ready to feed its enterprise analytics efforts with data coming in from clinical, financial, research and operational streams.

Song that really tug at the emotions
Music can be very touching
I would venture to say that over the course of everyone's lifetime, there are some songs that come along that really touch us in one way or another. Perhaps it's by instilling within us a sense of inspiration. Or maybe it's a collection of lyrics that cheer us up when we are down. And still in other cases, it might be a musical work that brings tears to our eyes. Whatever the case may be, we all have some songs that have touched us deeply. Here are a few of mine.

- Code: Select all
for id in range(10):
someURL = "http://fakeURL" + str(id)
data = get(someURL).json()
I am constantly getting the following error (I've pulled out host and specific port information, I hope that isn't the problem):
ConnectionError: HTTPConnecctionPool(host ="host", port=port#). Max retries exceeded with url: caused by class 'socket.error'. A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host failed to respond.
At first I thought my requests were coming to fast so I put sleep lines in there to aid with that but I was still getting the error. Even if I run the code from the Python Shell I get it on the first try sometimes. However if I try to get the JSON data using my Chrome browser it works every time without issue. Which leads me to believe the offsite server is working fine. Any help is greatly appreciated

>Off the Beaten Path>RA Marathon
*Eric had nothing to do with this message but I just thought it would be a neat idea.
Lets say that Eric decided to do an RA Marathon to help support the website cost but also gave some of the raised money to a charity would many of you be interested in doing that race? I'm not sure where Eric lives but I am guessing the marathon would be close to where he lives and pretty flat.
I think it would be pretty cool to put faces with the RA names. Maybe if you are a RA member you get a shirt with your RA Name on it for the race or a different colored shirt. What other cool things could the race do to make it special?
2014 Goals: (Yeah I suck)
I'd rather just use the donate button. But, if this marathon was chip timed and there were AG awards, I might show up. And, if I could win RA arm warmers, I might show up.
"What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight – it's the fight in the dog. – Dwight D. Eisenhower
My blog is JT Running DC. It's awesome.
I'd run it but would like a half option (still willing to pay full fee) and have beer involved.
Thanks for organizing the event, BCR.
I'd rather just go to Nashville and drink Yazoo.
Bring your own medal (get a random one back at the finish)
Bring your own beer / post race food (pot luck style)
Time yourself / popsicle stick finish chute
What is your finish face photo - with instant upload to RA thread
Someone with a video camera for some good post race interviews
Screw charity, all money to RA
I think maybe better than a marathon (because do we really need another marathon on the schedule? - plus this starts to look a lot like some other really hilly race in nashville) – to broaden participation, but still have a reason for people to travel…a 5K in the morning (civilized time, like 10:30 or something), then hang out at a park / beach for cookout (see bring your own above), then under the lights 1 mile track heats. Post race party on the infield. Of course, you'd need access to a track to do this, and the ability to have beer at the party. So that could be tough. But I'd like it.
Come all you no-hopers, you jokers and roguesWe're on the road to nowhere, let's find out where it goes
Hashville is long way to go and I hear that the marathons around that area suck the monkey
7/20/17 #247 Comeback #19 ... 10/8 - Glacial Trail 50M
old woman w/hobby
Just run.
Why not make it an odd distance so everyone goes home with a PR. We could race that at 10:30 than race a beer mile at noon. The beer mile could be live streamed on RA.
Proboscis Colossus
I think it would be a fun idea, though I'm sure the chances would be slim that my schedule would allow me to participate, unless it's right in my backyard.
It also wouldn't be fair to expect Eric to serve as RD, unless he just really wanted to. Dude runs a fairly big, fairly active website (MTA: and, I presume, has some other job), I doubt he has room on his plate to put on a race.
And I think having a 5K and a half marathon would serve the widest range of runners.
"God guides us on our journey, but careful with those feet." - David Lee Roth, of all people
12 Monkeys
I thought that race was the RA marathon...
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
I'd be okay if Eric kept all the money and invested it in keeping the girl, the lion and the tin man at bay.
"If you have the fire, run..." -John Climacus
I'd be okay if Eric kept all the money and invested it in keeping the girl.
I know, right?
Love the Nashville love.
I think it is an awesome idea, and I know right where the this race should take place.......
Running is stupid
It is not Nashville. It is monkey love.

Keeping with the tradition of this blog (to keep the info as digestible for as wide a range of skill levels as possible), I want to explain some basic Internet TV concepts, so if you're new to this the posts you'll be reading in the future make more sense.
When you're watching video in a web browser, there are 2 main components of that experience. The "Video Player" and the "Webpage". They are generally developed as separate components that get integrated once they are developed. Let's look at YouTube as an example:
I dimmed out everything that isn't the player.
The player is the component that actually plays back the video, and contains the controls that let you navigate and manipulate the video (i.e. move forward and backwards in time, enter Fullscreen mode, Closed Captioning on, etc) . In the case of most of the websites you watch video on, it is a player built on the Adobe Flash Platform, and is playing video encoded to one of the Flash video specifications.
Everything else is contained within the Webpage. The Webpage is generally build using a mix of different technologies including HTML and Javascripit.
Ultimately, the video player is "embedded" within the webpage, which is what integrates the 2 together. This is also what happens when you take the "embed" code from a video player and put it on your own webpage (as I have done with one of the films I've produced for Adobe TV, directly below this paragraph) or when you "Share" a video on a social networking site like Facebook.
Other things integrated within the Player, behind the scenes, are snippets of code which report usage back to a metrics & reporting system (in the case of Adobe TV, every time you watch a video, including if you just played that video above this sentence, it sends information that the video was watched, and also reports how much of it you watched, to our reporting system Omniture Site Catalyst). If there is ad-insertion, there is also code that calls out to the ad server to show you advertisements at specified times (generally "pre-roll", i.e. before the video you actually came to watch plays). These are just a few examples.

Data loss can be accidental or malicious. Human error, carelessness, or a lack of data security can lead to data loss, such as sending an e-mail attachment containing personally identifiable information (PII) to an unauthorized recipient. Most companies' firewalls are set up to block incoming traffic, but data is sent off network on common ports like IRC, SMTP, and HTTP.
With one new Web page infected every 4.5 seconds, the Web is now the number one vector of attack for cybercriminals. Taking advantage of Web infrastructure vulnerabilities, attackers covertly inject malicious code into legitimate Web sites. This Web-based malware then uses social engineering tactics or browser vulnerabilities to infect visitors with the intention of stealing confidential data, installing more malicious code, or silently recruiting the host system into a botnet.
Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have become popular playgrounds for attackers who recognize users' tendency to instill a higher level of trust in the sites themselves and to share too much personal information. As a result, malware and data theft are presenting serious problems to their users. In fact, there was a 70% rise in proportion of firms that report encountering spam and malware attacks via social networks during 2009. Spam is also common on social networking sites, and social engineering is on the rise.
Encryption is an integral technology to protect your organization's sensitive data. If a threat bypasses your antivirus, firewall, or other controls, PII (Personally Identifiable Information) is vulnerable. But if data that is encrypted before it's placed on removable media or sent by e-mail falls into the wrong hands, it is unreadable.
An organization's vulnerabilities are exacerbated by the unchecked ability to launch unauthorized software from removable storage devices like USB keys, CDs, and DVDs. Unauthorized applications can introduce vulnerabilities to the network, and malware, like the Conficker worm, is becoming a major issue as these devices can serve as vehicles for distribution. Data can also be easily taken outside of an organization on these devices, and many recent high-profile incidents confirm how easily they can be lost.

I had a package of country style ribs to cook so I started by making a simple rub and seasoning them Saturday afternoon.
Sunday afternoon I cut up some broccoli and mushrooms, and tossed the pieces with some olive oil, salt, and pepper. When I do this it helps to oil the mushrooms before adding the broccoli, and then after the mushrooms have absorbed the oil add some more along with the rest of the ingredients.
The ribs had to be skewered crossways because of the bones.
Because of the orientation of the ribs I felt that the thicker centers might not cook well with indirect heat, and since the spit is farther from the fire than the regular grate I decided to borrow from the Santa Maria method of grilling tri-tip and use a direct fire. I added an oak branch for smoke flavor and the ribs got really dark.
The results were kind of hit-or-miss as the 2 smaller ribs wound up being a bit overdone; uniform pieces of meat would've been a better choice. Fortunately larger ribs were moist with good flavor and we did have enough for the 2 of us, and the vegetables turned out well. Can't win 'em all!

My menstruation is irregular, so it would be difficult for me to know if I'm pregnant or not if I'll base it on the absence of my menstruation. What are the other early signs of pregnancy that I should take note of?
My menstruation is irregular, so it would be difficult for me to know if I'm pregnant or not if I'll base it on the absence of my menstruation. What are the other early signs of pregnancy that I should take note of?
There are many different symptoms, they vary by individual woman and pregnancy. Have you taken a home pregnancy test yet?
Some common symptoms of early pregnancy, apart from amenorrhea, include:
Light spotting that goes away immediately instead of a regular cycle
Nipple sensitivity
Swelling in the breasts
Increase in intestinal gas
Some of the symptoms arrive later than others. Since you have an irregular period and believe you may be pregnant, I would recommend getting a test or visiting with your preferred maternal care provider just to be sure.
Good luck!
Good day, Angela!
No, I haven't taken a home pregnancy test yet. However, I'm planning to perform the test if I wouldn't have my period within this month.
Thanks a lot for the very informative reply.
Hello Rhea,
Early pregnancy symptoms can often be mimicked by hormonal imbalance so you may find that even if you get a negative pregnancy test you may also have some of the typical pregnancy signs like sore breasts, gas and bloating or even nausea. It's just really difficult for a woman who has irregular cycles to know whether she's pregnant or not simply by the typical signs of pregnancy.
A pregnant test is the best way to determine pregnancy, and now there are home pregnancy tests being made which are highly sensitive and can give a very accurate reading. If you take a test and it's negative, then take another test 7 days later. If it's still negative, then take another test 3 days after that. A highly sensitive test can pick up the hCG hormone as early as 9 days post conception.
A few other early pregnancy signs I had were:
- Noticing the veins in my chest were more "blue" than normal (with my first pregnancy).
- A somewhat wet discharge starting the day after conception with my 4th and 5th pregnancies (I never went back to being "dry").
- Light abdominal cramping starting about 2 weeks after conception and lasting for a couple of weeks with my 4th and 5th pregnancies (I only very rarely had cramping during my periods, and never more than a day).
How are you doing? Have you been able to regulate your cycles at all?
Warm Regards,
I thought I had the flu at first, then my period never came. The next symptom for me was a constant feeling of hunger. I did not experience much morning sickness, just some nausea. It was a good thing since I was over 20 weeks before I told anyone I was pregnant. Constant puking would have likely tipped them off that something was wrong.

MARK Collier expects youngster Tyron Leigh to remain with Chippenham Town next season after his recent trial with Bristol City Academy.
The 17-year-old defender was named the Bluebirds' young player of the year at last Friday's end-of-season presentation evening at Chippenham Sports Club and looks set to stay at Hardenhuish Park next season after featuring in a number of trial games for League One City's youth set-up.
"Ty hasn't heard back after his trial, so he's taking that as a sign that he won't be joining them – he'll re-sign for Chippenham and we're happy to have him," said Collier.
"To play at this level at just 17-years-old is out of the ordinary and it just shows that whether you're 17 or 37, if you're good enough, you'll play. He can learn from Greg Tindle and Matt Coupe and hopefully we can keep hold of him for a while.''
James Guthrie took home the players' player of the season and the Bluebirds Supporters' Club player of the year gongs while Greg Tindle was named manager's player of the year, with pundit and former Leicester City and Portsmouth veteran Steve Claridge in attendance as guest speaker.
"Myself and Tom (Jones) both wrote down our player of the year, swapped them, and we both came up with the same name,'' added Collier.
"Greg was a bit low on confidence when we took over but he's grown from that and has been, and will continue to be, a superb defender for this club.
"James Guthrie has done very well, whatever position he's been asked to play, and he chips in with a few goals too. He's an infectious character, which is why he's popular with the lads."
Collier revealed he is still talking to Joe McClennan, who was rumoured to be interesting Bath City, while fellow winger Corey King has left the Bluebirds.
But on Wednesday, Chippenham announced the signing of former Swindon Supermarine and Calne Town midfielder Jordan Roberts, 21, from Wootton Bassett Town.
Town can look forward to local clashes with Cirencester Town, Paulton Rovers, as well as Frome Town after the make-up of the Southern League Premier Division was released this week.
Promoted from Division One Central are Bedfordshire's Dunstable Town and Berkshire's Slough Town.
Dorset side Dorchester Town and Cambridgeshire outfit Histon have been relegated from the Conference South and Conference North respectively and West Midlands' Halesowen Town have moved sideways from the Northern League, with Corby Town going in the opposite direction.
Next season's Southern Premier Division line-up: Arlesey Town, Banbury United, Biggleswade Town, Bideford, Burnham, Cambridge City, Chesham United, Chippenham Town, Cirencester Town, Dorchester Town, Dunstable Town, Frome Town, Halesowen Town, Histon, Hitchin Town, Hungerford Town, Paulton Rovers, Poole Town, Redditch United, St Neots Town, Slough Town, Stourbridge, Truro City, Weymouth.

A Louisiana House committee advanced legislation Thursday that would add to the expense of bonding out of jail on a Baton Rouge City Court case.
A substitute bill filed in place of House Bill 313 calls for defendants to pay an additional $35 on criminal bonds.
Baton Rouge Constable Reggie Brown told the House Committee on Judiciary that his office needs the fee because of expenses such as overtime and fuel. He said Baton Rouge has the largest city court in Louisiana.
"It won't help us recover it all but it will help," he said.
The committee amended the bill to give defendants 30 days to recoup the fee if their case is dropped or results in an acquittal.

Happy National Grilled Cheese Month. Why does this food holiday fall in April, you ask. Why not? But do you really need an excuse to consume a buttery cheese-filled sandwich alongside a bowl of creamy tomato soup?
The grilled cheese is so much more than the single slice American cheese sandwiches of your elementary school days. Now you can find all sorts of cheeses, meats and even fruit in between slices of crispy bread. Here are a few of my favorites:
Michael Charlianza, the Executive Chef at Bobby Flay Steak at the Borgata in Atlantic City shared a new recipe just for the occasion: Grilled Brie and Goat Cheese with Bacon and Green Tomato.
I love blue cheese, but it's a whole other level of goodness in a Great Hill Blue Grilled Cheese which includes not only salty blue cheese but also prune jam and sliced pears.
If sweet and savory isn't your thing, try this Mousetrap Grilled Cheese featuring Havarti, cheddar and Monterey jack between two slices of sourdough. It pairs perfectly with Chuck Hughes' Creamy Tomato Soup.
Bacon makes everything better, so it only makes sense that Kelsey Nixon's added in a few slices to her favorite Grilled Cheese sandwich. It's a combination of Cheddar, crisped bacon and apple slices, cooked between white bread.
Can't quite commit to a whole grilled cheese sandwich? Make a selection of Mixed Grilled Cheese and Oven Dried Tomato Crostini using 6 to 8 ounces various sliced cheeses, such as goat cheese, Gorgonzola, mozzarella, Comte, Gouda or Camembert.

Some tips about ordering:
* Each octagon gable vent comes with a standard nailing flange, an outside nailing flange or a J-channel. The vent is installed first and the exterior finish is installed over the standard nailing flange or the J-channel.
* Use the standard nailing flange model for ease of installation with stucco, brick, rock, stone or fiber cement siding (Hardie Plank). Use J-channel model with vinyl siding, aluminum siding or steel siding. The outside nailing flange (sometimes called a "cut in flange") is used when the exterior finish is already in place and a gable vent is being added or replaced. Occasionally a vent is needed without a nailing flange or a J-channel (such as a retrofit into an existing brick or stone opening). Select "none" for the mounting flange option in these applications.
* A variety of color choices enable us to match octagon gable vents to any project. Click to see COLORS

Windows Phone Tango coming at CES, Apollo - mid-June 2012?
11 Comments
1. 7thspaceman (Posts: 1584; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
If the Nokia 900 has a front facing camera then I believe it will be the best of the best
windows phone 7 smart phones. The HTC Titan could beat it if it gets an upgrade to an amoled screen. After june 2012 when Nokia comes out with the Apollo super Nokia windows smart phones which will have all the bells and whistles and be technologically equal to the best Andriod phones , the Iphone 5 will have a higher HD screen but Nokia and windows smart phones will truly be the third smart phone ecosystem for people to pick and choose to use.I think Nokia will make enough profit to never have to worry about Microsoft having to buy it to save it.
3. Glim12808 (Posts: 394; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
Yes, if the Lumia 900 ( or whatever it's going to be called) gets an FFC and LTE, then it's going to be a phone to have!
I just hope Nokia moves a little faster though. I just couldn't wait anymore for the Lumia800, I decided to get the HTC Radar instead to add to my Android.
2. snowgator (Posts: 3604; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
No doubt the 900 will bump the Titan as the top device. (Although I would argue my Focus S is the top Windows device on the market. But, a posting for another day.) But what I am very curious about is the Tango update. If rumors are true, that update is aimed at providing a Windows OS for lower end phones, not an upgrade on the Mango running phones. I am really pumped for Apollo.
4. Glim12808 (Posts: 394; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
Although Tango is going to be a minor update, I believe it's still going to be a crucial one because it will bring LTE support to Windows Phone 7.
6. Penny (Posts: 1672; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
My guess is that Tango isn't built specifically for lower end phones, but rather an update that would allow for a greater range of hardware to be used (from lower end in terms of memory, resolution, etc. to higher end with LTE).
7. snowgator (Posts: 3604; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
That makes sense. It is also the logical next step in creating a wide enough ecosystem to allow for different form factors, more CDMA support, ect. Is it too much to hope for that it will allow landscape on all screens? That is a huge pet peeve of mine with WP, and a serious reason physical keyboards have not taken off better.
9. Penny (Posts: 1672; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
I wouldn't count on the landscape part. The OS itself was largely made for use in portrait mode; there would be a ton of work involved in making everything (non-apps) work in landscape, and it may be functionally inferior in that it would be focused on two-handed operation and be able to display less information on the screen, at least the way the OS is currently designed.
10. snowgator (Posts: 3604; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
Sigh... Darn it Penny, couldn't you just humor me? :-)
8. bbstorm2435 (Posts: 37; Member since: 21 Oct 2009)
Not so fast. It may bump the Titan as a top device, but HTC is rumored to be releasing an LTE WP7 device for AT&T in February. You would think this would bring more changes than just the addition of LTE to the Titan.
5. Jyakotu (Posts: 854; Member since: 12 Dec 2008)
The main feature many people are waiting for with Windows Phones are LTE. For these people screaming FFC, who really uses them to video chat.? The only time I've seen people utilize the FFC is when they want to take pictures of themselves. I love the Windows Phone platform, but I feel that once LTE support is on board, I'm sure it'll attract some new smartphone users. Metro UI is so clean and beautiful and the Live Tiles really just make the platform pop. Cannot wait to see what Tango and Apollo brings.
11. roscuthiii (Posts: 2246; Member since: 18 Jul 2010)
So, if Tango is only a minor/moderate update and Apollo overhaul is coming mid-2012...
then basically don't even think about getting a Windows phone for 6 months if you're coming in fresh to the platform.

Julia Child, French chef extraordinaire and matriarch of food television, would have turned 100 years old today. Any fan of Child knows that her first dish in Paris was Sole Meuniere, her favorite comfort food was red meat, and that pan-roasted duck was on her list of "last meal" musts, but do you know what alcohol she liked to sip after a long day at the stove?
Below are two Julia-approved libations so that you can celebrate the way Julia would have done herself, and a special cocktail of our own that we think the eccentric darling of the food world would appreciate. Go ahead — fix your inner Child a drink.
Upside-down Martini
This twist on a martini is heavy on the vermouth and light on the everything else. We like Miss Child's style.
5 parts dry vermouth (Julia liked Noilly Prat)
1 part gin (we like Beefeater)
lemon twist
In a white wine glass filled with ice (or not, your call) stir together the gin and vermouth. Garnish with a twist of lemon and toast to something fancy.
This classic and refreshingly light libation won't set you back on calories or inebriation…unless, that is, you add a splash of gin. Go ahead, Julia would.
6 oz Perrier Sparkling Water
dash Angostura Bitters
lime slice
In a classy glass full of ice (no red plastic cups here, people) pour in Perrier and top with a dash of Angostura Bitters and a slice of lime. Sip with your pinky out and speak with a French accent.
Alongside red meat, gin was at the top of Child's favorite comfort foods. Obviously the lady knew how to party. In that spirit, and because there's pretty much nobody we'd rather share a cocktail with, we'd like to officially dedicate our You Can't Beat A Gin-ger Fizz cocktail to her in honor of her 100th birthday.

Building and using OpenSceneGraph in Android
Requirements to compile OpenSceneGraph for Android
- Android-sdk (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)
- Android-ndk (http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html)
While Android-sdk version doesn't really matter, ndk version is need to be 4(Crystax Version) 5 or 5b. We expect that newer versions will work but that is something to come.
Build config
When working in Android you have to set OSG to work in GLES1 OR GLES2 it's not advisable to compile with support for both libraries at the same time. Runtime linking errors can happen. If you don't know how to set GLES1/2 please read OSG wiki (http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Community/OpenGL-ES). CMake building script will search for Ndk in $HOME or $HOME/android_development a folder with the original name of your ndk. Otherwise you can set manually where it is with the environment variable: ANDROID_NDK.
When you call CMake you need to set the variable: OSG_BUILD_PLATFORM_ANDROID to on and DYNAMIC_OPENTHREADS / DYNAMIC_OPENSCENEGRAPH to off. The first variable enables the compilation for android because we are doing something similar to cross-compiling. The other two make OpenSceneGraph to compile statically. At the moment the build config generated for android only contemplates a static build not a dynamic one. The main reason is that you cannot "install" as it is the dynamic libraries onto your phone so all of them have to be in your apk. At the same time Google in their last ndk only supports RTTI and exceptions if you use gnu_static_stl. That would increase dramatically every dynamic library size.
So if you want to build a OSG with OpenGL ES 1.x you need to use the next line (supposing out-of-source build).
cmake .. -DOSG_BUILD_PLATFORM_ANDROID=ON -DDYNAMIC_OPENTHREADS=OFF -DDYNAMIC_OPENSCENEGRAPH=OFF -DOSG_GL_DISPLAYLISTS_AVAILABLE=OFF -DOSG_GL_MATRICES_AVAILABLE=ON -DOSG_GL_VERTEX_FUNCS_AVAILABLE=ON -DOSG_GL_VERTEX_ARRAY_FUNCS_AVAILABLE=ON -DOSG_GL_FIXED_FUNCTION_AVAILABLE=ON -DOSG_CPP_EXCEPTIONS_AVAILABLE=OFF
That will generate every Android Makefile needed to compile OSG for Android. Once that process is finished a Make will start compilation.
If you want to use -j option to speed build note that you can't use it from make command because our make will call ndk-build. To set the j level You have to set it in the cmake config line with the variable J (-DJ=2). We decided to use Android Makefiles to ensure the most possible compatibility between ndk changes instead of a straightforward crosscompiling. Because of that there are some standard options that don't work quite well, don't work at all or simply need more time and debugging.
One of the options that don't work right now is make install so you will need to copy or point from your final program to the headers. Remember that OSG and OpenThreads? use a Config file that will be stored in the directory you have generated CMake build commands instead of the normal headers.
If you don't want to use the normal make and instead use directly ndk-build you can do so. This makes accessible more info of the building process, compiler calls and other things.
$ $ANDROID_NDK/ndk_build NDK_APPLICATION_MK=Application.mk [OPTIONS]
NDK-Build useful options
|generate debuggable native code
|launch build, displaying build commands
|force a complete rebuild
|display internal NDK log messages
For more info please read the documentation inside your ndk.
Building your Application
In the last compilation chain we've included every serializer and deprecated to support .osg models. As stated before, please, be aware that this doesn't mean that everything works. In the latest test we concluded that right now osgSim and osgShadow don't work or make the screen Black. OpenGL ES 2.0 it's still in testing.
By default we build OSG against Android/platform-5 this can be overridden in Application.mk before compiling. Do not try to compile in Platforms less than 5 it's not advisable even if you can. Remember Platform-5 are Android Devices with 2.0 and works with newer versions. In your program please remember to link all the libraries you need in the Android.mk and be careful with the order or you will receive compiling errors. The example program is a good point to start.
As now we haven't enabled armeabi-v7 nor Neon extension to make it easier for testing. If you want to use them in your program you'll need to recompile osg changing makefiles to use them. Remember that armeabi (v5) works in v7 and that is faster but can't run on devices that are v5.
If you are not confident in building your own project with ndk you can use Eclipse and install ndk assistance plugins (there are three or four of them) If not you can use the console with the standard commands as stated in: http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/overview.html#samples You can start from the provided osgViewerGles1Android example that we've provided as a start. Remember to change and set up properly your include and binaries directories. The example program has the same egl start context as google's ndk examples and some code to get out virtual keyboards, masking of standard keys (the program will only close with home) and the code need to pass screen/keyboard events to OpenSceneGraph like mouse/keyboard. Multitouch is masked as mouse events instead of using the multitouch approach. We support using double tap to move, simple move to drag and pinch to zoom. We support as well a double tap (in different locations) to make a reset of the view.
Finally remember that OSG in android is a STATIC build so if you don't use the macros he won't know what plugins and serializers are or not enabled. The macro are: USE_OSGPLUGIN(name_plugin) USE_DOTOSGWRAPPER_LIBRARY(name_deprecated) USE_SERIALIZER_WRAPPER_LIBRARY(name_serializer)
3rd Party Dependencies
At this moment we only compile Plugins that do not requiere any 3rd dependency. But we expect to enable all that can be used with linux in no time. If you have enough expertise you can compile static any 3rd dependency and enable the compiling of the plugin that you need. Currently have been tested and work successfully: libjpg libpng libtiff libcurl freetype

ALLISON JANNEY is here! She's played the gamut of women in her career; from the dramatic in "The West Wing" to the neurotic in "The Help," to the disturbed in "American Beauty." These days, Allison brings her sardonic wit to the table with her lead role in her new comedy series, "Mom." All that hilarity and amazingness comes right to the forefront when she sits down for her latest convo with her great pal Ellen. These friends love to go at it, so you will undoubtedly be entertained by their banter… perhaps a little mischief too! They're known to be fond of pranks.
GAVIN DeGRAW commands the music with a performance from his new album, "Make a Move." Smooth and alluring, the talented musician sings like the blues are divine, and rock is mystical at its core. Records like "I Don't Want to Be," "Chariot," and "In Love with a Girl" brought him into the spotlight, while his wide-ranging talent and free spirit, along with a thrilling ride on "Dancing with the Stars," kept him there. Any day listening to Gavin is a good one, and every appearance on Ellen is the best.
Adding to the jubilation, "Glee" star CHORD OVERSTREET returns to chat it up with Ellen! From "iCarly" to America's favorite TV musical, he's got the looks, pizazz, and certainly the chops to ravish a crowd. There just aren't enough hours in the day to discuss his award-winning series. Last time Chord was in the house, he flashed his Ellen briefs to the world. Who knows what this young heartthrob will do next?
Spinning beats to keep the party jumping, musical group THE LYLAS will play guest DJ for the day! Their big brother may be Bruno Mars, but this group of sisters likes to work it big on their own, as evidenced by their reality series, "The Lylas." They will show it off and then some when they join Ellen!
On Monday, Ellen's friends fill the room!

Not much news: Boyle is in for Christensen, who joins Voros on the prucha list. Lundqvist in goal again.
I forgot to mention … Adam Rotter at the SNY Rangers blog kick-started my old memory the other day, but it didn't stick to my burned-out cells and gray matter …
But tonight is not only Festivus, it is also the 30th anniversary of the Boston Bruins visiting the Rangers' fans in the stands, good old Mad Mike Milbury taking a shoe to one guy, and clowns Terry O'Reilly and Peter McNab leading the charge over the glass. I was there that night, and scared like heck that it would turn into a riot that might never end. I'm still pretty amazed that there weren't more serious fights and injuries, if not deaths, under those circumstances.
Anyway, the Times did a memory-lane piece on that night which, if you ever watch the video on Raucous Rangers or YouTube or anywhere else, began with Phil Esposito on a breakaway. Espo was hit in the ass with a tennis ball thrown from the blue seats on his way in against Gerry Cheevers. Then JD took exception to a few things, I think, that John Wensink did late in the game, and it was his yapping that escalated into some pushing and shoving and eventually the fan taking O'Reilly's stick, and the parade into the seats while the Rangers stood, mouths agape, watching.
You probably saw earlier today that Rangers prospects Chris Kreider, Ryan Bourque and Derek Stepan were all chosen to play for Team USA in the World Junior Championship in Saskatchewan Dec. 26-Jan. 5.
Here are tonight's pregame notes.
The Festivus pole requires no decorating. I find tinsel distracting.

Through two exhibitions, Traveling the Pacific and Pacific Spirits, visitors to The Field Museum will feel as if they've travelled thousands of miles to the Pacific Islands. These exhibitions offer a complete immersion into the culture, climate, history, and natural history of the region. Traveling the Pacific focuses on how islands rose from the sea and how their climates and cultures developed while Pacific Spirits covers the spiritual lives of indigenous populations.
Traveling the Pacific features many interactive displays with an array of artifacts and dramatic recreations of Hawaii, the Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea and Tahiti. The exhibition introduces visitors to the powerful geologic and environmental forces of the Pacific region – forces that led to the creation of exotically beautiful island environments. Visitors can trace the journeys of plants, animals, and humans as they travelled vast distances across the ocean to populate these far-flung ocean lands. Entering the exhibition, visitors are greeted by a large recreated volcano with glowing lava flow recreated in fiberglass from actual lava on the Big Island of Hawaii. The centerpiece of Traveling the Pacific is a remarkable full-scale recreation of a Pacific coral island. This environment allows visitors to wander and explore the island from its windswept ocean front, through a mid-island forest, to a quiet ocean beach. Throughout the exhibition visitors can hear the sounds of surf, birds, rustling palm leaves, and feel the warm ocean breezes as they learn about the natural forces that shape small Pacific Islands.
Complementing Traveling the Pacific is Pacific Spirits: Life, Death and the Supernatural, an exhibition that engages visitors in the spiritual lives of indigenous Pacific Islanders. More than 600 magnificent ceremonial, ritual, and artistic objects from New Guinea, New Britain, New Ireland, Vanuatu, and the islands of Polynesia combine to guide visitors in an exploration of Pacific spiritual life. Many of the objects are monumental in scale and some incorporate unusual and delicate materials such as bark cloth, feathers, or spiderweb. There are large and elaborate masks as well as detailed shields and deadly spears imbued with tribal magic. The exhibition provides the cultural context of the objects and answers such questions as how they were made and used. In addition to the objects, there are interactive and hands-on displays, such as a full-size recreation of a slit drum that visitors can play and a black sandbox where visitors can try their hand at the sand-drawing techniques of male tribesmen. Artifacts for the exhibition are drawn from The Field Museum's Oceanic anthropological collections.
Combined, Traveling the Pacific and Pacific Spirits tell the complete story of the Pacific Islands from their emergence from the sea to the people who live there today. Visitors are completely immersed in the culture and climate of a place on the other side of the world.

Stocks in the world's developed nations posted the best start to a year in two decades, a sign the global economy is poised to accelerate after contractions in Japan, the United States and Europe, if history is a guide.
The MSCI World Index of stocks in 24 markets rose 5 per cent in January, the most since 1994, as individual investors pumped record deposits into mutual funds, US profits increased for an 11th quarter, central banks kept interest rates at record lows and growth from Europe to China improved. The last two times stocks gained this much in January, world gross domestic product expanded at least three times the 2.4 per cent that economists forecast for 2013, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
While market strategists say that equities have already recorded most of this year's gains, bears who predicted declines at this point in 2012 only to see the Standard & Poor's 500 Index close up 13 per cent, are being overlooked. Bulls say the rally is just getting started after US investor sentiment rose to a two-year high and billionaire Warren Buffett offered to buy the parent of the New York Stock Exchange.
''People are just positive that the economy is really going and now they're putting money in the stock market,'' Jerome Dodson, whose Parnassus Fund has beaten 99 per cent of its peers in the past five years, said. He oversees about $US7.3 billion in San Francisco.
''There's much more confidence that the economy's on stronger ground now.''
Shares in Portugal have beaten every developed market this year as investors bet Europe's debt crisis is subsiding. Chinese stocks entered a bull market, signaling the world's fastest- growing major economy is gaining traction following seven consecutive quarters of slowing growth.
Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average surged to the highest level since April 2010 as new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe succeeded in depreciating the yen by 7 per cent against its biggest trading partners, according to Bloomberg Correlation- Weighted Indexes. In the US, the S&P 500 rose to within 4 per cent of an all-time high as the Federal Reserve keeps interest rates near zero and continues to buy government bonds with the jobless rate at 7.9 per cent.
January equity rallies of this size have come in years when the world economy expanded more than average, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The MSCI World advanced 6.4 per cent at the start of 1994, and gross domestic product increased 7.7 per cent that year, 1.2 per centage points more than the average since 1980. In 1987, stocks were up 12 per cent in the first four weeks, and the economy grew 14 per cent.
''I've been saying to my co-workers it's the first time in years that I've felt like I could sleep at night and not worry because the underlying tone to the market and underlying fundamentals are OK,'' said Jeffrey Burchell, a fund manager with Toronto-based Aston Hill Financial Inc., which oversees C$US6.4 billion ($US6.42 billion) in North America. ''The unknowns and things we're afraid of are getting less every day.''
The US economy expanded 2.2 per cent in 2012, compared with the 2.1 per cent that was forecast at the start of the year in a Bloomberg survey. Growth around the world is forecast to be 2 per cent this quarter and 2.4 per cent in the following three months, based on the median estimate from economists surveyed by Bloomberg. That compares with average 2.6 per cent expansion since 1996.
Jerome Forneris at Banque Martin Maurel bought shares in Intesa Sanpaolo, Italy's second-biggest bank, to benefit from last month's 7.2 per cent rally in the FTSE MIB Index. David Herro, the Chicago-based manager of the $US12.9 billion Oakmark International Fund, said he has favored Japanese stocks such as Daiwa Securities Group, Toyota Motor and Canon as the Nikkei 225 also jumped 7.2 per cent in January.
Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway made an offer for NYSE Euronext, the New York-based owner of the largest US equity exchange, on Nov. 28. The bid, though rejected, indicates the world's most successful investor expects trading to increase after individuals fled the market following the 2008 crash, according to E. William Stone, who helps oversee $US112 billion as chief investment strategist at PNC Wealth Management.
Investors have poured $US10.4 billion into developed equity mutual funds around the world this year, compared with outflows of $US2.5 billion last year, according to data from EPFR Global, the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based research firm. They withdrew about $US250 billion from US funds in the past four years, scarred by the 2008 financial crisis that wiped out $US11 trillion in American equity market value.
Bullishness reached a two-year high last month, a survey from the American Association of Individual Investors showed on Jan. 24.
With so many indicators pointing higher, some analysts see signs the bull market that started in March 2009 is closer to the end than to the beginning. The gauge of individual investor sentiment is near to registering a sell signal, according to JPMorgan Chase's chief US equity strategist, Thomas Lee.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index is down 28 per cent to 12.9 this year, near the lowest level since April 2007. The slump in the VIX, a gauge of options prices on the S&P 500, suggests investors are growing complacent, Myles Zyblock, chief institutional strategist at Royal Bank of Canada, said in a research report last week.
The last time the VIX fell below 15 was in October following a 15 per cent rally in the S&P 500. Stocks lost 7.4 per cent the next month. A five-year bull market pushed the options gauge below 15 for most of 2007. The S&P 500 peaked that year and plunged 57 per cent through March 2009.
This year still may be a repeat of 2012, when January's gain in the MSCI World index was followed by a 5 per cent slide during the next four months, according to Binay Chandgothia, a money manager at Principal Global Investors who sold stocks in the past two weeks and plans to keep reducing holdings as the market rallies.
''The biggest risk is that there's been too much short-term momentum,'' Chandgothia, who helps oversee more than $US250 billion, said. ''Our risk-environment indicator is almost getting into frothy territory. A couple of significant data points that disappoint can cause the market to correct.''
The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index dropped for a fourth straight week in the period ended Jan. 27 as Americans' outlook on spending soured, a sign increased taxes are already starting to ripple through the economy. A US worker earning $US50,000 a year is taking home about $US83 less a month because of the payroll tax increase that took effect last month.
Investors should also be ''cautious'' because US lawmakers face March deadlines on spending plans and Italy is preparing to hold elections, said Emmanuel Soupre, a fund manager who helps oversee $US4 billion at Neuflize Private Assets in Paris. The world's largest economy unexpectedly contracted 0.1 per cent last quarter after the biggest drop in defense spending in four decades.
Profits in the S&P 500 will increase 7 per cent in 2013 and executives are the most optimistic at the start of a year since 2011, according to data on revised guidance compiled by Bloomberg. The ratio of US companies raising forecasts compared to those lowering them increased to 0.85 last month, according to data on the 20-day average. Last year, the ratio fell to 0.3, the lowest since April 2009.
''We might have seen the best month for the year, but I think that we are entering the mature phase of the equity market, which involves a lot more participation and upside volatility,'' Shaoul, whose firm oversees more than $US5 billion, said Jan. 29.
''Most encouragingly, this has largely been a bottom-up rally with individual stocks reacting to earnings that have generally beaten expectations.''
The lockstep moves in global stocks that dominated markets for the past six years are breaking down at the fastest rate since at least 1993, a sign investor confidence is returning. A measure of how much the 2,073 companies in the FTSE All-World Developed Index swing in unison dropped 31 per cent in the six months through Jan. 25, according to data compiled by Societe Generale SA and Bloomberg.
Increased levels of debt and more hiring are also giving investors reasons to be bullish. US loans totaled more than $US460 billion in the last three months of 2012, the most since the second quarter of 2011, data compiled by Bloomberg show. American employers added 157,000 workers last month while the unemployment rate rose to 7.9 per cent, a government report showed last week.
An acceleration in loans ''reflects more confidence by lenders as well as by borrowers,'' Ed Hyman, founder and lead analyst at International Strategy & Investment Group in New York, wrote in a report e-mailed Jan. 29. ''Increased confidence by lenders is the same animal spirit that would be associated with hiring.''
Stock gains are likely to continue as pressure to increase allocations mounts for investors who stayed out of the market, said Daphne Roth, the Singapore-based head of Asia equity research at ABN Amro Private Bank, which oversees about $US207 billion. A net 51 per cent of global fund managers had bullish positions on equities in January, four times the level at the start of 2012, according to a Bank of America Corp. survey of 190 investors overseeing about $US586 billion.
''There are lots of people that have missed this rally,'' Roth said.
''Everyone is starting to recognize that the world is slowly but surely recovering, that equities aren't expensive and earnings are improving.''
