One of the nice advantages of open source is that encourages collaboration, on a project, atound the world. It especially makes sense when people, who have common goals, can all add something to the project.
It may even make sense in humanitarian projects. For example a project was started in my country, to create a database of missing people, after an earthquake in Feb 22nd of 2011, in the South Island of New Zealand.
However there seems to be a disturbing trend is that developers of systems are considered to be not worth anything because after all there is free stuff out there. I am not really complaining about the availability of free software out there. I have even used a lot of it myself. Its just the attitude that programmers and developers should work for nothing is what irks me. I think much of that attitude has come from what I see as mistaken notions of what open source is really about. To me it means:
You get the source code and can change it yourself and you are free to employ anyone you want to change it.
If you want a feature added to a project you can ask the original developers and maybe even pay for the enhancement knowing that they have a commitment to the project thats not simply motivated by money. (That is you know their hearts in it.)
To learn something new, you can calloborate on projects that interest you and, as part of a team, learn something about good engineering principles from others (hopefully).
To me it doesn't mean:
You should work for free
Your skills are worthless because there is free software out there.
Ok, what do others think? Does anyone else think that some wrong attitudes about open source have led to undervaluing of coders and developers?
That isn't true. I can't tell you how many Drupal modules have been simply abandoned or rewritten without a migration path. Not to mention you are unlikely to come across anyone with a sense of urgency. Also, people like working on the latest a greatest stuff. No one likes bug fixing legacy code that a company might be stuck with due to the evolution of a long standing and complex project written on a much older version of said open source technology.
I'm a firm believer that any core code changes beyond patches should go through the maintainers. Any patches should be shared with the community/maintainers. To me it is irresponsible to go make a bunch of changes to open source code all willy-nilly without thinking of possible impact they might have on maintaining or upgrading said open source product for the next poor chap.
That I agree with.
I don't believe I have *yet to come across that mentality. While some people I have done business with in the past could of had that mentality I think they since learned that free software rarely meets the business requirements for a project. Open source software might get you partially there but unless you compromise is an option having a dedicated developer devoted to business requirements is very different than asking for things on a whim they might get done for a maintainer. A maintainer who probably does not have said clients business requirements at the top of their list of priorities. I mean how many times have cringed at a clients stupid idea that you know is destined to fail yet they insist. You really think that maintainer of said open source software would be as enticed to add said feature as a dedicated developer.
I believe most of the open source software out there is sponsored by some company. I mean there are those projects out there that are completely on someones free time but the projects that seem to flourish are those that are associated with a company rather than one single individual. Normally the ones associated with a single individual are just to learn and take a shot at pissing into the wind destined to die or never be found.
Thank you for comments. My comments below quote.
With regard to the "next poor chap" I guess I was thinking more in terms of forking a project for private use. Not so much in forcing ones own changes, made to meet personal business requirements, back on the original code base necessarily. However, thinking about it, I guess that does kind of leave them on their own, without support, unless that development is using a plugin architecture to extend the system.
Interesting case in point regarding Drupal. However, as someone who has been trained in software engineering principles, there are many open source projects I wouldn't want to build on, because I know those projects heartily break many well established design principles. However many of those kind of projects often seem to get an unfair amount of popularity and Google ranking.
Regarding first comment, I agree its not terribly satisfying bug fixing legacy code thats already fixed on the trunk. Even worse if the situation has arisen from lack of forethought, by developers, towards a migration path for the data trapped in those legacy database models to work in the current trunk version. However, dont you think, open source might still work for a business with custom development needs when those open source projects dont trap their business data in legacy systems for lack of a migration path?
I'm not sure what kind of world you are living in. Writing software is expensive and software engineers are among the highest salary job in U.S. Where do you get that developers should be paid nothing?
Open Source is free but it's still PROFIT based. For example, there is Open Source framework called Spring Framework. This has been sold by VMWare for $500 Million dollars! The provide the source for free but they provide support and training at a cost. That's how popular open source framework creator gets their money.
I'm not in USA. My observation comes from looking at sites like freelancer.com (which admittedly is based in Australia).
The code quality has increased with open source. You can judge an open source project by looking at the code, that's a huge gain over closed source projects. So, if anything, open source is a way to get validation from your peers on one hand, and on the other hand, you learn what any course or programming ebooks falls short to teach you: how to get things real things done. How much money you'd have to pay to get such an education?
Finally, as with anything, your coding is as lucrative as you make it. I'm sure you wouldn't dream of adding 1% of your work to a 99% open source project backbone and expect to have a 100% profit margin, would you?
Our company use lots of open source software. We don't pay for support. We have no idea where the creators get their money.
I think the only IT-related thing our company pays for is hosting, storage, backups... and we also use an open source fork of OpenERP which has a "foundation" behind it (maybe this will later become a company) and we pay the 2-3 main core devs money to travel to our office for discussion/bug fixes/client requests. I don't think we'd be paying them anything if we weren't asking them to actually physically come over here (from another country).
We don't pay for our operating systems, our database, our caching software, our full-text search engine, our server software, our webserver software/framework, or our development tools like editors, version control, testing (well, actually I think one dev here uses Eclipse, but even then I dunno if you pay for that or what). We get regular updates and bug fixes for all of this software. They are all popular-enough softwares that there is plenty of help info on forums, places like Stack Overflow, etc (as opposed to software so uncommon that nobody really uses it).
Surely this is where the impression comes from that open source software developers don't get paid... those holding that view are using the software and not paying. Most of our software isn't backed by a company (our server software for example became a real company just in 2011. It was started in 2004 by one dude)... a few are by foundations and communities, the rest are 1-3 people just making stuff and throwing it out on github or somewhere. Not difficult to see at all.
And it's because of this setup that tech companies come into existence and the IT industry is thriving. It's why/how our company exists, and our competitors, and some of our clients. Anyone can start something, so long as they have electricity, a computer, and an internet connection. And that's amazing.
Your post, @Kiwiheretic; is well thought-out and I agree with the general concept. Thanks for bringing this subject to light.
It strikes me as quite ironic that, as you stated, there is an impression that software developers should provide their expertise and experience for free (perhaps this arises from simply from the fact that many do) and yet, to those who are not skilled in software development what we do appears almost like Magic.
My full-time employment is as a developer (and tester). And yet I spend almost all of my free time working on Open Source projects and writing technical articles. As you alluded in your post, it is (for me) entirely resultant from a passion about the technology. There is no desire or quest to be paid. And, I would propose that I feel as though the experience (as you mentioned, learning from those who are better than me by exploring and refactoring their code) is a fair compensation for my time/effort.
The example you have is valid and it's true for 99% of the application which uses Open Source. What you are not understanding is that not all open source library/framework are equal in terms of learning curve. Because of this the creator of the open source typically make a book and sell it on Amazon. Take a look at jQuery which is created by John Resig(forgot his name) published a book about JavaScript and it's top selling book on Amazon. The book was about how he created the jQuery framework. Then there's the holy grail Java Framework called Spring. This framework is pretty much the backbone of the architecture. It starts off using Spring Core but it has another 20 sub-projects under it. If your company is pressuring for time (which is 99% true), they'll send you to training course on that technology. Another prime example is, Hadoop Framework. The creator started off as Open Source then got hired to maintain the source and create special "bundle" version of the framework to sell to their customer (including support). I am guessing that he is now making between $500k~millions..who knows. What I'm saying is that the popular Open Source creators have a way to make big bucks and they certainly did not think to do all that for free.
I wouldn't use any freelance sites on the web as a reputable source for client insight. Just about everyone on those sites are just looking for a cheap indian to create something that will inevitably fail. That is not at all an accurate reflection of every client or the vast majority. Those are just the bottom dwellers looking for a deal which will most likely cost them more in the long run.
When it comes to open source I don't really have the time nor motivation to spend my free time building things. Anything that I have ever contributed has been built for project at a company that I had worked with than made open source through the proper channels who could grant that type of permission. I still have some things on github but the truth of the matter is I rather spend by time solving real world business problems and be compensated. Not to mention sit back and relax once I'm off the clock.
Oh, I understand it; I was pointing out where I thought the idea the OP was talking about came from. People like John Resig, whose name we know, are seen as outliers.

Devices, Apps, Content.
Productivity protected.
Unparalleled security, scalability and lowest total cost of ownership1 enable breakthrough mobile possibilities.
Enterprise Mobility Management for control, security and productivity
Businesses of all sizes have high hopes that advances in enterprise mobility will bring innovation and new levels of end user productivity, without exposing corporate data to increasingly frequent cyber attacks.
To take full advantage of workforce mobilization, enterprises will need to move beyond short-term management solutions and adopt a comprehensive Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution designed to meet today's challenges and whatever lies around the corner.
Comprehensive cross-platform EMM
Your enterprise mobility solution will need to manage an increasingly complex mobility environment, with a mix of mobile end points, operating systems, risk profiles and ownership models, including corporate owned, personally enabled (COPE) and bring your own device (BYOD).
End-to-end security
The need for embedded security increases as mobile end points store more and more applications and critical data. An EMM solution designed from the ground up with security in mind is the most effective means of providing comprehensive risk management without getting in the way of end users.
Mobile device management (MDM)
Comprehensive, flexible and highly scalable MDM is a must-have for organizations supporting diverse devices, operating systems and ownership models.
Mobile app management (MAM)
Enterprises need a MAM strategy that gives IT the oversight to safeguard corporate data and end users the freedom and flexibility to be productive.
Mobile content management (MCM)
Anywhere, anyplace collaboration and communications capabilities can be complex and costly, as well as laden with security risks. Sharing, syncing and protecting corporate content from outside the firewall requires an EMM solution with comprehensive and sophisticated MCM capabilities.
Streamlined user experience
A modern-day EMM solution automates management tasks for both end users and administrators. Integration with enterprise directories, for example, enables IT to automate the distribution of apps to both groups and individuals.
Scalable architecture
Employees are accessing corporate data through an increasing number of connected devices. Given the expected surge of wearables and Internet of Things-enabled devices into the enterprise, scalability is a core requirement of a future-focused EMM solution.
Protection from cyber attacks
Industry experts believe that mobile end points will become increasingly attractive targets for cyber criminals. Organizations that fail to safeguard their digital assets face severe consequences, including operational disruptions, financial losses, lawsuits, regulatory fines and irreparable damage to reputation and competitive standing.
Archiving and auditing
Organizations that handle sensitive customer information must comply with strict archiving and auditing requirements. Running afoul of these increasingly onerous rules and regulations could result in severe financial penalties from regulators and litigation.
Deployment flexibility
An effective EMM solution will support multiple deployment scenarios, including on-premise, cloud and hybrid. Deployment flexibility enables organizations to strike an optimal balance between security, complexity and cost concerns.
BES12: A highly secure EMM solution
BES®12 is a complete, highly secure enterprise mobility solution designed to protect your business data and increase the productivity of your workforce by fully enabling their mobility.
BES12 allows you to securely manage mobile devices and other endpoints across different operating systems (iOS®, Android™ – including Android™ for Work and Samsung KNOX – Windows® and BlackBerry®) and ownership models (personally owned or corporate liable devices).

"12-12 The Concert"
Belguim is no exception as regards taking initiatives to collect money for South-East Asia, which has been hit by a tsunami on December 26 last year.
At the end of February this year, I was present at a concert in Antwerp (Sportpaleis): "12-12 The Concert". It was called that way since in Belgium people can deposit money at bank account "000-0000012-12" to support South-East Asia.
For the concert, about 12,000 people were gathered to see a lot of great Belgian musicians who played for free that night. These musicians / bands were: Bart Peeters, Sioen, Ozark Henry, An Pierlé, Praga Khan, Jan Leyers, De Nieuwe Snaar, Flip Kowlier, Gabriel Rios, Hooverphonic, Clouseau, Daan, Stash, De Laatste Showband, De Mens, Monza, and Admiral Freebee. Zornik would come as well, but they did not show up. Actually, my friends and I did not really regret his since they are not our favorites, which I already mentioned in a previous column… During the breaks, "Discobar Galaxy" entertained us with great danceable music. Hereby, you got quite a long list of Belgian "stars". Maybe this is your chance to get acquainted with some Belgian music, if still necessary… J
During the concert, some news flashes were shown, mostly about the reconstruction of several areas that were destroyed by the tsunami. After all, we were not only there to have fun, remember…
Adriaan van Hoof and Steven Van Herreweghe, two wonderful guys, were the presenters of the evening. Together with Koen Wauters (singer of Clouseau) and Bart Peeters they handed over the money to Michel Dumont: 250 000€ was collected that evening (food and drink consumptions not included yet!). In total, Belgium already collected about 50 million €!
Thanks to the organizers of this initiative and to the musicians who wanted to participate, we had a great musical evening and we could contribute our mite as well. Thank you!

Rackspace is proud to announce that all Cloud Files customers have now been migrated to Akamai. This means that all Cloud Files customers, both in the US and UK are now being served via Akamai's expansive content distribution network.
Our next step in this transition is to begin implementing new URLs. Legacy URLs will still work for all customers. Our new URLs will look like http://c186397.r97.cf1.rackcdn.com/rackdogblog2.png
Whenever possible, you should use the new format URLs. To take advantage of new features which are coming soon (e.g. SSL and CNAME ), you will be required to use the new URLs. If you request a URL via an application or Cloud Files API beginning today, you will be presented with the new format even though your old URLs will still work.
As the last step in our CDN migration plan, this milestone marks the beginning of an extravaganza of product releases for CDN and Cloud Files.
Stay tuned to the blog for more info!

BTW OVNI, I have actually experienced a similar situation myself on TWO separate occasions. I lost an X Comet in the snow once and was called by an older Asian gentleman who insisted that I "must be a drunk" to be throwing my "frisbees in the snow," and said I should give him $20 for its return. I declined his generous offer, resisting the urge to chastise him for making a fundamental attribution error.
The first occurrence also resulted from my apparent predilection for drunken wintertime frisbee-tossing. This time it was a dyed ESP Buzzz, and the caller set a steep ransom of $50 for its return. I told him the disc could be purchased new for less than half that and suggested a few choice ways he might put said disc to use.

Dear Power Systems client:
I hope that, like us, you have been delighted with the market success of our newest POWER7® products. We now have a full range of POWER7 processor-based products, from blades, to modular and enterprise servers. And, we have worked hard to design systems that not only perform well but are easy to implement with operating environment choices supporting thousands of business applications.
The ability to deliver new services faster, with higher quality and with superior economics has seen thousands of businesses migrate to Power Systems. With POWER7, we continue to lead the industry in performance, but have also ensured that we support your most valuable assets -- your applications.
Our broad support for multiple operating systems on POWER7 is the strongest that we have ever had. Even so, some clients have said that they want to hear about binary compatibility directly from me. So, I want to assure you that we are committed to the binary compatibility of POWER7 with the AIX, IBM i and Linux operating systems. We've said we have binary compatibility and we mean it.
The new POWER7 servers run the AIX® 5.3, AIX 6.1 and AIX 7.1 operating systems, with binary compatibility for applications currently running on previous AIX versions on POWER4 or later. Your AIX applications, whether written in house or supplied by an application provider, will run on POWER7 systems with either AIX 5.3, AIX 6.1 or AIX 7.1 if they currently run on AIX V5.1, V5.2, V5.3 or V6.1 without recompilations or modification. The new AIX 7.1 also includes new virtualization capabilities designed to simplify the consolidation of older, AIX V5.2 environments. This new capability, called AIX 5.2 Workload Partitions for AIX 7, is designed to allow administrators to simply back up an existing partition running AIX 5.2 and restore it into an AIX 7 Workload Partition.
POWER7 systems also run the IBM i 6.1 and IBM i 7.1 operating system, with binary compatibility for IBM i applications, even applications supported in S/36 and S/38 environments. Applications running on IBM i 6.1 or IBM i 7.1 will run unchanged on POWER7. Program conversion of applications from previous releases of IBM i continues to work on POWER7 systems as it has on previous Power Systems.
In addition, POWER7 systems support Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES 10 SP3 and SLES 11, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux RHEL 5.5 and RHEL 6 or newer with binary compatibility with those releases running on POWER6 systems. Even well-behaved Linux applications that run today on POWER6 with SLES 10 SP3, SLES 11, RHEL 5.5, or RHEL 6 will run on POWER7 with SLES 10 SP3, SLES 11, RHEL 5.5, or RHEL 6 — without recompilations or modification.
Please refer to the following Web site for limitations and additional information on binary compatibility of AIX, IBM i and Linux operating systems and on IBM i program conversion: //www.ibm.com/systems/power/hardware/compatibility/conditions/index.html
Thank you for your continued confidence in IBM, in Power Systems and in the AIX, IBM i and Linux operating systems. I want you to rest assured that we are taking great care to ensure that when you upgrade to POWER7, your applications will not only run unmodified, but your business will be able rapidly to deploy and leverage the new features of our POWER7 systems.

Turnaround Stories for 2013
A year goes by so fast. I can remember sitting down in front of my computer around this same time in 2011 and writing about the stocks to keep an eye out for in 2012. So I'll do the same thing again this year. Here are some stocks that I feel have great turnaround potential for 2013 and beyond. Consider this column a light read for the holidays that is intended to add a few names to your shopping list for next year. Over course of the next few weeks and months, I will likely revisit each name with greater color. Note that these names are not presented in any particular order of conviction or return potential.
Restaurant chain Wendy's (WEN) appears to finally be putting all the pieces together for a nice story in 2013. Over the past five years, shares in rival McDonald's (MCD) have appreciated by over 50% while the S&P 500 return was basically flat. Wendy's shares, on the other hand, declined by more than 40% during that same time frame. A new marketing program that includes a store reimaging component along with encouraging revenue numbers make Wendy's a great turnaround story for 2013....350 more words left in this article.

THE MOMENT: Czech Republic @ Russia – Wednesday, April 3
by Kaarina Stiff
NEPEAN, Ont. – If Team Czech Republic is an underdog in this tournament, someone forgot to tell them.
Wednesday's contest between the Czech Republic and Russia was a well-matched affair, and the Czech squad was anxious to prove its worth. The Czechs kept pace with the fast-moving, stick handling Russians, and did a brilliant job on the penalty kill, successfully defending all six infractions.
The key "moment" for the Czech Republic, though, came at 6:51 of the second period, when forward Denisa Krisova, assisted by Alena Polenska and Katerina Mrazova, swiftly moved the puck into the Russian zone and snuck it in behind Russian goaltender Anna Prugova, to put the Czech Republic on the scoreboard.
Czech fans rose to their feet, waved Czech flags and yelled louder on the decibel scale than fans did for either of the earlier Russian goals. Among the Czech supporters were close to 700 students from six Ottawa-area schools, who attended today's game as part of the 2013 IIHF Ice Hockey Womens' World Championship host committee's schools program, and no doubt gave a power boost to both teams.
But Krisova's goal lit a fire under the Czech Republic, and changed the momentum of the game, making it an unforgettable Game 5 "moment."

The Fifth Annual AMHPAC Technical Business Convention scheduled for Aug. 22-26 in Guadalajara, Mexico, will likely prove a venue for many topical trade discussions in light recent developments surrounding the U.S.-Mexico tomato suspension agreement.
AMHPAC, the Mexican association of protected horticulture producers, plans a lineup of speakers, roundtable discussions and workshops covering such areas as food safety, sustainability, branding and others trends affecting vegetable production and cross-border trade.
AMHPAC president and chief executive officer Eric Viramontes shared his thoughts on some marketplace developments affecting Mexico's growing protected vegetable production.
Q: A recent U.S. Department of Agriculture report on Mexican tomatoes detailed the growth of protected agriculture, citing growth of about 13% annually. How long can the market sustain such a robust growth rate?
A: Protected agriculture has flourished around the world and in the U.S., Mexico and Canada because of the benefits seen in the products offered to the consumer. A major part of the growth has been the result of converting open-field production to protected agriculture. It is driven by demand, available financing and hard work. We are proud of our annual growth rates – recognizing it's 20% of the total tomato production today. We expect it to continue to grow along with the demand for those products.
Q: Florida tomato producers are seeking to end the tomato suspension agreement that has been in place since the mid-1990s. Where do you see this leading?
A: Since NAFTA was implemented, U.S. and Mexico growers have agreed to work together to the benefit of the industry and consumers by setting a price floor on Mexican products coming into the U.S. The agreements have lead to a growing number of jobs in the US and Mexico throughout the supply chain. While history tells us that this will be worked out again, the alternative is tariffs and another potential trade war that benefits no one.
Q: What opportunities/concerns does Mexico's protected horticulture sector see in this election year in both Mexico and the U.S.?
A: We expect to see a continued commitment by our new government to assist us all with improving the agriculture sector. Protected agriculture offers Mexican workers more consistent work without needing to migrate to different areas and countries, which is better for all concerned.
Q: What potential do you see for marketing Mexican vegetables as a brand along the lines of Idaho potatoes or Vidalia onions?
A: We know that the market sees Mexican vegetables as the high consistent quality and value product that we are proud to feed to our own families and friends here and around the world. There are already great brands produced in Mexico such as Desert Glory's NatureSweet Tomatoes.
Q: What strides has your industry made in food safety and traceability in the past year?
A: Mexican vegetable imports to the U.S. are probably the most inspected products. Key to them being expedited through the supply chain is the aggressive adoption of the latest food safety practices and traceability technologies. Mexican growers are proud of their initiatives that provide consumers with the safest product we can — and the ability to address any issues as quickly as possible. The majority of our AMHPAC member growers are certified, and their operations are inspected regularly.
Q: What do you hope to be the key takeaway for attendees at this year's AMHPAC convention?
A: The fifth annual conference (on) Aug. 22-25 in Guadalajara will offer a number of sessions that will update attendees on the latest approaches in improving productivity, efficiency, food safety, food security. Our guest country is this year is Holland, and the speakers from this part of the world will provide some very interesting insights on their business models and the challenges they face.

Celina, TX. - A Texas dad approached his child's elementary school last Wednesday, claimed he had a gun, and said, "You're dead."
According to The Huffington Post, police say 44-year-old Ronald Miller wasn't really armed, rather he pulled the stunt in an apparent attempt to test Celina Elementary School's security, according to NBC-DFW. The greeter at the school -- located just north of Dallas -- reportedly froze in panic as Miller said he was a gunman and that his target was inside.
"He told them that he is a shooter and 'you're dead, and you're dead,'" school district Superintendent Donny O'Dell told the station.
Miller revealed that he was conducting his own active-shooter drill as students were arriving at 8 a.m., the Dallas Morning News reported. He said he wanted to speak to the principal.
School officials knew Miller because he has a child enrolled at the school. They waited until he left campus to alert police, who arrested him on charges of third-degree felony terroristic threats. His bail was set at $75,000.

Patient and Family Services
Heart Saver Council
The Hendrick Heart Saver Council is comprised of a diverse group of Abilene citizens who have had personal experience with some type of cardiovascular disease or condition. The Council meets on a quarterly basis and members provide valuable input and direction to the development of programs and services, in Cardiology, to address the reality of cardiovascular disease in our community. The first-hand experience of the members is a valuable tool to help cater to the needs of the patients and the community. Many of the members also volunteer with patients experiencing heart issues as they are in the hospital. Some visit patients throughout the cardiac units, while other council members serve as volunteers in the Heart Center, interacting with families whose loved ones are having procedures. This council serves as a support system for the community as well as a voice for the cardiac patients at Hendrick Medical Center.
A Day to Take Heart
Hendrick Cardiovascular Care encourages all community members to take care of their hearts during our annual event, A Day to Take Heart. The event offers free health screenings, consultations and educational information.
The annual event is held each year in February as part of an effort to raise awareness of the importance of cardiovascular health during American Heart Month. Currently, cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer in the United States.
"With the high numbers of cardiovascular disease in our country, we want every person in our community to have the knowledge and information they need to live a healthy lifestyle and have healthy hearts," said Stephanie Jones, RN, nurse manger for Hendrick Cardiovascular Care. "A Day to Take Heart is one of many ways Hendrick cares for hearts in our community."
At the event, participants will receive free cholesterol and glucose screenings, blood pressure and body mass index measurements, cardiac risk assessment, hearing screening, lung screening, carotid artery screening, and information for colon cancer screening.
Certified cardiac nurses and diabetes educators will be on hand to offer free, private consultations for each participant's results and to assist with follow-up recommendations. Educational information and materials from numerous Hendrick services also will be offered to participants, with representatives from the services available to answer questions.
Non-invasive Cardiology staff participates in Hendrick-sponsored health fairs which offer testing to the public to identify potentially life-threatening carotid artery disease, hypertension, and arterial occlusive disease.

LEGO, Robots and a Depeche Mode song. Obviously I love this. It amazes me all the work that went into recreating Everything Counts in such a way. I hope someone in NYC books the Toa Mata Band band because I would love to see it in person.
"Toa Mata Band is known as the World's first LEGO robotic band controlled by Arduino Uno which is hooked up to a MIDI sequencer. In this video, the third episode, the robots are playing some unconventional drum-percussions made by some food packaging are captured by a contact microphone (piezo) and processed in real time in the D.A.W. Ableton Live. A brand new device appears for the first time, it's a moving platform on x-axis, made of Lego bricks, gears and servo motors that permits to move with semitones-steps the tiny synth. The song is a cover of the famous synth-pop band Depeche Mode, it's a personal tribute to the band who made my days in the 80's. The performance was recorded live in July 2014." – Opificio Sonico

The Art of Midwifery: Edema
I had serious edema with my first two pregnancies. With my third, I increased my protein intake, took vitamin B complex throughout pregnancy, and used dandelion and nettle during the last trimester. I also took lots of warm baths and drank lots of water. I had very little swelling and a beautiful homebirth.

News Flashes: Massage for Newborns
Massage may help maintain babies's body temperatures immediately after birth. A prospective observational study of postdelivery care and neonatal body temperature was followed by a randomized controlled intervention study using three simple methods to help maintain the babies' body temperatures. Five hundred infants were monitored in the first study and 300 in the intervention study. In the observation study, 85% of infants had temperatures less than 36 degrees C at 2 hours following the birth, and nearly 50% still had temperatures less than 36 degrees C at 24 hours after the birth. Most of the infants who were cold after 24 hours had initially become cold at the time of delivery (only seven infants had been both well dried and wrapped). In the intervention study, all infants were dried and wrapped before random assignment to one of the three methods: the kangaroo method, traditional oil massage, or a plastic swaddler. All three methods were found to be equally effective. Overall, 38% of the infants had temperatures less than 36 degrees C at 2 hours and less than 18% at 24 hours.

Itching Skin During Pregnancy
Itching skin during pregnancy can be caused by hormonal changes. Also remember that in later pregnancy your skin must stretch, which also can cause itching. Dry skin can become very irritated, especially during the winter months when forced-air heating aggravates skin discomfort."
To prevent skin irritation, pregnant women (and all people) should avoid mineral oil-based skin care products as well as harsh soap and laundry products. Some women benefit from avoiding soap altogether. Read the labels; most skin products are made with mineral oil. Also rule out irritation from any recent changes in the soap or laundry products you use. Choosing the most natural kind of shampoo, soap, and laundry products is always wise to protect your health and environment. Because you're making a baby, begin treating your own skin like a baby's. Many women have found that applying hexane-free castor oil softens and soothes dry and scaly skin.
Itching can often be alleviated by adding unrefined virgin olive oil to your diet. Also increase your intake of foods that are rich in vitamins A, D, and linolenic acids.
Vitamin A-rich foods:
Vitamin D sources:
Linolenic acid sources:
Between 0.02 and 2.4% of pregnant women are diagnosed with a condition called pruritus gravidarum (also called PUPS), a kind of itching unique to pregnancy. It is related to elevated estrogen and progesterone levels interfering with the liver's efficiency in excreting bile salts. Onset is usually in the third trimester, and the itching is severe. Although this condition is not characterized by lesions, abrasions caused by scratching and contact with clothing can be very painful.
If this happens to you, you should support your liver with the following herbs:
Make sure you are drinking sufficient amounts of water. Ask your health provider about using these herbs during pregnancy.
The worst case of pruritus gravidarum I have seen was treated without antihistamine drugs. The woman's backup physician told her that he could prescribe an antihistamine but preferred that she consult the midwife and look for a natural alternative. This young mother also said, "I've eaten worse in this pregnancy than in my first two. I'm not surprised I developed this skin condition." She was anemic and exhausted because the itching was interfering with her sleep. Within hours of starting herbal therapy to support her liver and increase her iron, she had great relief and slept through the night.

Forum Talk: Nuchal Hand
Do midwives find a nuchal hand slows down emergence of the baby's head? Can it be detected by just looking for a bulge next to the head, or would you need to be more invasive to figure out what was going on? A midwife I know says you just sweep the hand across and out - across the baby's anterior (face?).

Question of the Week: Rectocele
Q: Have you successfully delivered a baby when the mother has a rectocele? I have a mild rectocele and am expecting my ninth baby. I am interested if there is a way to prevent it from worsening during pregnancy and especially during delivery.
Send your responses to firstname.lastname@example.com with "Question of the Week" in the subject line.
Question of the Week Responses: Pregnancy-Induced Itching
Q: I am nearly 9 months pregnant (first babe). Terrible itching plagues me. I have tried acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and oatmeal baths. The medical suggestion is to take Benedryl, which I haven't done because it seems focused on allergic-type responses which I don't think is the problem. The itching started at 32 weeks and worsens at night. It is worse on my palms, feet, ankles, back, breasts, at especially at joints. The rest of my body also itches (except my head and face) but is not as bad. It is a deep itch and is only temporarily relieved by scratching. I wake up itching several times a night. Any answers?
- Marissa
Editor's Note 1/7/2005: Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP) is a benign itchy condition, cause unknown, not associated with preeclampsia, autoimmune disorders, hormonal abnormalities or fetal abnormalities. Treatment is usually for relief of symptoms. Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP), however, refers to a specific liver condition in which the normal flow of bile is impaired in a woman's body resulting in severe itching and, more rarely, jaundice. ICP is diagnosed by blood tests showing elevated levels of bile acids and certain liver enzymes. ICP is associated with an increased risk for infant stillbirth, premature labor, fetal distress and hemorrhaging in both mother and child.
A: The condition you are describing is called PUPS - toxification of the liver from the high dose of pregnancy hormones. A midwife I know recommends drinking a whole 16-oz container of chlorophyll and then 5 tablespoons a day until the end of your pregnancy. Make sure that it is plain (not mint) and drink 3 qts of water per day. This treatment will either alleviate the condition or at least make it bearable until you give birth. The chlorophyll will also increase your iron.
- Sara Fariss Krivanec, postpartum doula
A: Try dandelion capsules to help strengthen and cleanse the liver. It also purifies the circulatory system.
- Norma
A: It sounds like classic symptoms of obstetric cholestasis. You should see your caregiver immediately and arrange to have a blood test to assess liver function. There is no cure except delivering the baby. There is also an association with stillbirth.
- Jane Dolby,ex-midwife,antenatal teacher student
A: We had a good discussion of this at the MANA conference in October. Extreme itching during the final weeks of pregnancy is not uncommon. It is called pruritis and can be related to a condition of the liver called cholestasis. But the consensus among the midwives there was that there's no difinitive evidence that cholestasis really has anything to do with pregnancy outcomes. My suggestion is to focus on relieving the symptoms and supporting your liver. Dandelion root tincture, 15 drops 3–4 times/day seems to help, as does milk thistle (same dose). Eliminating any other stressors to your liver (medications, food additives, smoking, alcohol, etc.) is important. Sting Stop, a homeopathic ointment applied topically is helpful, as is Weleda Calendula cream. Birthing your baby will cure it.
- Merilynne Rush
A: This is called the rash of pregnancy. It is very common and is easily gotten rid of by taking 4 capsules of John Christopher's slippery elm bark tea capsules 3 times a day until the condition is gone. If she has difficulty swallowing capsules she can open the capsules and make a tea. It will require honey. She will need to use the 4 capsules for each of the teas she makes.
- Claudia Souther, RN
A: I have had similar itching at all of my joints. The inflammation lasted for several months. I am not pregnant. I do not have psoriasis, eczema, or ringworm - I am gluten intolerant. I analyzed my diet to make sure I was not getting any hidden glutens, used Neems soap only in the shower, and eventually used some topical steroid or cortisone cream twice a day for a week and a half. It is much better, but the relief by these means is only masking the symptom, not curing the cause.
- Traci B. Mueller
A: I am surprised that acupuncture has not helped. Have they tried colon 11 to reduce your body heat? I found women sometimes had some relief from a lavender-oil bath. Sometimes drinking more water helped too.
- Sue
A: The homeopathic remedy Dolichos is for "pregnancy: intolerable itching all over body in pregnant women, worse at night, preventing sleep, worse from scratching, no perceptible eruption on skin." Try it in a 30-c potency twice a day or as needed until improvement occurs, then stop taking the remedy until you notice your symptoms starting to return again.
- Jennie Walsh
A: Try Aveda's Beautifying Composition with jojoba wax and oil as well as other moisturizing agents or the All-Sensitive Composition, which contains jojoba oil and 11 Indian herbs to calm the skin. Jojoba oil is the best moisturizer because it is closest to the skin's own sebum.
- Hannah Louisville, KY
A: Two responses, based on the research I've done so far:
- Sylvie
A: It might be scabies, which you can get from contact or even trying on clothes in a store. The itching is worse on the hands, feet, and back. Scabies almost never affect the face or head. If you do have scabies you have to treat the condition like head lice, including treating your furniture, washing all fabrics, cleaning very well, and using a topical lotion after showering. See a dermatologist.
A: I had the same terrible itching. After birth I discovered my baby had thrush, which inspired me to do a lot of reading. I found that what I had was probably candida overgrowth. I did not have vaginal yeast infections. I eliminated all sugar and only got my carbohydrates from fresh veggies, whole grain breads that were freshly baked f rom freshly ground grains, ate a lot of organic meat, chicken and fish. As long as I stuck to these eating habits my baby's thrush went away, and so did the rashes that doctors told me were just dermatitis and the headaches that plagued me. Fermented foods should also be avoided (e.g., cheeses, pickles, soy sauce, etc.
- Calista
A: Persistent itching in pregnancy (pruritus gravidarum) can result from altered liver function, possibly due to maternal hypertension (high blood pressure) or the accumulation of bile in the liver (intrahepatic cholestasis). Any history of this or any other previous illness (such as hepatitis) that may have affected your liver? A routine liver panel (blood test) can hopefully rule out questions about a stressed liver. Topical hydrocortisone preparations purchased over the counter may be appropriate (consult a pharmacist about its safety in pregnancy) but only for small areas of the skin.
- Kari Michalski, BSN
A:I recommend finding a homeopath to help you. The National Center for Homeopathy has a listing of practitioners on their website. They can also direct you to a homeopathic study group that may know of a homeopath who isn't a member of the National Center.
- Jane Ann Sears
A: Contact your care provider to order labwork to check serum bile acid salts, alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin. Do you notice any yellow discoloration to your skin or eyes?
- Rose Fife CNM
A: I wonder if it is stretching of the fascia as her body expands.
- Anon.

With Woman: Vitamins in Pregnancy, by Gloria Lemay
Most people think that vitamins are always good for you and the more the better. Pregnant women should use caution with vitamins A, C, and D in higher doses than the recommended daily allowances. Synthetic vitamin A in some drugs used for acne and psoriasis can cause birth defects in the developing fetus. The concern with toxicity of vitamin D in pregnancy is calcification of the placenta and other soft tissues. The mother is also more prone to developing kidney stones. Vitamin C taken in extra large doses is thought to cause miscarriage in the early weeks of pregnancy and can cause harm to the baby after birth. Anne Frye has this to say about megadoses of vitamin C in pregnancy:
"High doses of any water-soluble vitamin may, in some cases, produce marked symptoms of deficiency in the newborn because of the rapid drop in blood levels once the baby is not being supplied with nutrients via the umbilical cord. For example, a baby whose mother takes more than 5 grams of vitamin C daily throughout pregnancy may develop scurvy (vitamin C deficiency disease) shortly after birth." [Holistic Midwifery: A Comprehensive Textbook for Midwives in Homebirth Practice Vol. l, Care During Pregnancy, l995 Labrys Press, p. 252]

The course is free for all BirthLove members. Check it out! http://www.birthlove.com/glo_doula.html
A prenatal support belt eases the symptoms of pubic symphysis (PS) pain [Issue 4:38] but in some women the problem is caused by a misalignment of the pelvis and the PS joint in particular. For these women, wearing a support belt may actually make the problem worse and make them more uncomfortable. For others, it may be a "band-aid" for the symptoms without treating the cause. Many women find more relief by treating a possible source of the problem - misalignment of the pelvis - by seeing a chiropractor who specializes in treating pregnant women. Be sure not only the sacroiliac joints and the back, but also the PS joint itself, are checked and aligned. Many women with PS pain have reported great relief with proper chiropractic treatment.Alternatively, classical osteopaths who are knowledgeable about manipulation for the pelvic area may also help alleviate pelvic misalignments (or "pubic shear" in their terminology). Women experiencing very strong PS pain are at increased risk for long-term damage to the PS area during birth and must be carefully handled to avoid permanent injury. For more information: http://www.plus-size-pregnancy.org/pubicpain.htm.

The pubic symphisis pain is most likely caused by pelvic subluxation. The pelvis is a ring, so if one of the joints misaligns and is fixated, the others will undergo more and unusual stresses. The production of the hormone relaxin during pregnancy loosens the normally taught ligaments of the sacroiliac joints, allowing them to subluxate easier and more frequently. Wearing a trochanter belt will restrict the motion into the PS which will, in turn, reduce the pain, but it does nothing to restore the motion to the joints of the pelvis that will be so important during the delivery process. Nor does it allow for proper alignment of the pelvis to maximize the size and shape of the birth canal. Even more important, leaving the subluxation uncorrected means that the interference being caused to the mother's nervous system remains, possibly affecting the development and growth of her baby. This situation is easily correctable by visiting a chiropractor. The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association's website, http://www.icpa4kids.com, can direct you to a chiropractor in your area who has the proper certification.

I am expecting in the next few weeks and hoping for an unmedicated VBAC. I ended up with a c-section previously because I didn't progress past 5 cm. I do not want oxytocin my OB (in Malaysia where I am an expat) is worried about uterine rupture. Is it safe to take the homeopathic remedy caulophyllum, or is it too strong so that it might increase the risk of uterine rupture? A friend took small doses from 3 weeks before her due date, and she has had fast but efficient labours each time.

30 Quick Fixes and Tips for Everyday Home Disasters
Cordless drills are great. But when you've got big holes to bore in concrete, only 120 volts will do. That's where the corded hammer drill comes in. It's a heavy-duty switch-hitter that goes from hammer to non-hammer mode with the flip of a lever, allowing you to ram a hole into concrete or bore into wood with equal ease. It might sound like a pricey tool meant for contractors, but it's not. You can join the hammer-drill club for as little as $40.
We gathered 11 tools, chucked in a 5/8-inch Vermont American carbide-tip masonry bit and timed the drills as they bored through concrete blocks. Then we used a 1-inch spade bit in non-hammer mode to bore through 2x lumber. All the tools did well, but some were distinctly easier on the testers. Your search for the right tool starts here.
Price: $100
Amps: 7.0
Max. RPM: 3000
Max. Blows/Minute: 48,000
Concrete: 3.97 seconds
Lumber: 1.03 seconds
Likes: Simply stated, the Bosch rocks. It's no secret why: Couple a 7-amp motor to an aggressive hammer mechanism and bring all of that power through a solid chuck, and you've got a tool that will blast through block and wood alike. The Bosch is also light, sleek and not terribly expensive.
Dislikes: Bosch should put the chuck key on a lanyard to keep it from getting lost, and simplify the over-engineered auxiliary handle.

This is a simple API to access Amazon SQS, EC2, SimpleDB, FPS and DevPayLS web services. It uses the QUERY interfaces. This code is thread-safe and works very reliably to the best of my knowledge. I've been using it on a system where sending messages in SQS is critical and we manage pools of servers on EC2.
This library is kept up to date with the most recent API changes and user feature requests. See the project page for more details. http://code.google.com/p/typica/
A tool for SimpleDB is also available. It's called sdbShell and supports all of the commands that the API supports and is especially useful for testing queries.If you like to play with queries in SimpleDB, another associated tool is QueryTool, based on typica. http://coderslike.us/2009/09/18/querytool-now-exports-data/

Oral Cancer
Bump on Floor of Mouth
Hi, within the last several weeks I have developed a small (about the size of a pinhead) but protruding bump on the floor of my mouth/base of my gums. It`s about a centimeter behind my front teeth, sort of where the frenulum attaches to the gum and slightly to the right. It`s painless but appears a little white. I don`t smoke and am a light drinker.
I already have an appointment scheduled with my dentist in a month, and of course I don`t expect to be diagnosed over the Internet, but how likely is it that oral cancer ever presents like that? I`m trying to decide whether or not I should get it checked sooner.
Thanks for you time.
If it is a stable lesion, your appointment with the dentist should be OK. If it progresses, please try to make your appointment earlier.
