---+ Tiger Profiler In this assignment you will implement a transformation that instruments a Tiger program with statements to gather profile information at runtime and print this information to standard output. You should use strategies, rewrite rules, dynamic rewrite rules, and concrete syntax in this exercise. ---++ Introduction to Profiling A [[http://en.wikipedia.org][profiler]] tracks the performance of a computer program in order that the bottle necks in the program are found. Different [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_metric][metrics]] can be used to measure properties of a program that might, or might not, be related to the performance of the program. Profiler tools can be implemented to be applied at runtime, compile-time, or both. The Java Virtual Machine for example allows an =-Xprof= argument. The JVM will output profiling information to standard output if this argument is supplied. GCC (the GNU Compiler Collection), of which the C compiler used on typical GNU/Linux systems is a part, takes a =-pg= argument, which instructs the compiler to add extra code that writes profile information. The program must also be linked with the runtime part of the profiler. During an execution profile information is produced, which can be analyzed with the [[http://www.gnu.org/manual/gprof-2.9.1/][GNU Profiler]], =gprof=. A possible metric is the number of times a function is called during the execution of a program. Functions in a program might be called more (or less) often then you expected. This profile information can be collected by instrumenting the original program with statements to keep track of the calls to a function. Take for example the following Tiger program: <verbatim> let function fact(n : int) : int = if n < 1 then 1 else (n * fact(n - 1)) in printint(fact(10)) end </verbatim> This program can be instrumented with an additional variable to count the number of times the function 'fact' is called. This is illustrated in the following Tiger program: <verbatim> let var fact := 0 in let function fact(n : int) : int = ( fact := fact + 1 ; if n < 1 then 1 else (n * fact(n - 1)) ) in printint(fact(10)) end ; print("\nfact: ") ; printint(fact) end </verbatim> Running this instrumented program results in the following output: <verbatim> 3628800 fact: 11 </verbatim> As you can see in this example, function _declarations_ are instrumented with an additional statement to increment the counter for the function that is declared. In this example the program just keeps track of the number of times functions are called. There is no information where these calls originated from. If we want more detailed information on the function calls in a program, the instrumentation shown above will no longer work: there is no way to find out who the caller is as soon as the execution has arrived in the callee. This information can be obtained by not instrumenting function declarations, but function _calls_. At the location of a function call, it is possible to determine what function is being called (the callee), and who is calling the function (the caller). The counter for this function pair can be increased at the location of the function call. The following Tiger program shows how the previous example might be extended to collect this profile information. <verbatim> let var top_fact := 0 var fact_fact := 0 in let function fact(n : int) : int = if n < 1 then 1 else (n * ( fact_fact := fact_fact + 1 ; fact(n - 1)) ) in printint( ( top_fact := top_fact + 1 ; fact(10)) ) end ; print("\ntop to fact: ") ; printint(top_fact) ; print("\nfact to fact: ") ; printint(fact_fact) end </verbatim> Execution of this program produces the following output: <verbatim> 3628800 top to fact: 1 fact to fact: 10 </verbatim> ---++ Assignment Implement a module called =tiger-profile= that performs a transformation from Tiger AST (tas) to Tiger AST. This module must extend the input program with statements to output detailed information on the number of function calls. The output program must on execution output information on the number of calls for each caller, callee pair. For this you have to instrument function calls in a Tiger program. At a function call you need context information to increase the correct counter: what function is the caller and what function is being called? Your implementation must use dynamic rewrite rules to generate the instrumenting rewrite rules at the locations where the information is available. Your implementation must be able to distinguish local redeclarations of functions, and in general function declarations with the same name. Applying =Tiger-Rename= to solve this problem is not allowed: the function names must not be obfuscated. Providing more detailed information the location of the caller and callee in the presentation is an optional challenge. Apply your tiger-profile module in the following pipeline of Tiger transformation tools: <verbatim> parse-tiger -i $< \ | Tiger-Desugar \ | ./tiger-profile \ | Tiger-Ensugar \ | pp-tiger -o $@ </verbatim> The resulting program is to be executed with the Tiger interpreter, =run-tiger=. ---++ Tips and issues See the [[http://www.stratego-language.org/Tiger/TigerLanguage][Tiger Language]] topic if you need information on Tiger. In a Tiger program multiple declarations of functions with a certain name can occur. The function name is thus not an unique identification of a function declaration. To obtain a unique identifier of a function declaration, the function declarations in the Tiger program could be annotated with such an identifier. Remember that unique identifiers can be generated with the =new= strategy. You can find more information on the usage of annotations at the [[http://www.stratego-language.org/Stratego/TermAnnotation][Term Annotations]] topic. You can also take a look at =annotations-test.str= in the SSL. This module defines unit tests for annotations and is thus a good example of the various constructs. Unfortunately there are some problems with including newlines (and other escape sequences) in generated Tiger code. You should escape the =\= in an escape sequence: =\\n= . This problem is caused by the application of Stratego desugarings to concrete syntax sections. ---++ Syntax Definitions ---++++ Syntax of Tiger The syntax definition of Tiger is defined in the following modules: * [[http://www.stratego-language.org/tiger-front/syn/Tiger.sdf][Tiger.sdf]] : main module importing others * [[http://www.stratego-language.org/tiger-front/syn/Tiger-Declarations.sdf][Tiger-Declarations.sdf]] : type, variable, and function declarations * [[http://www.stratego-language.org/tiger-front/syn/Tiger-Statements.sdf][Tiger-Statements.sdf]] : assignment, conditional, loops, etc. * [[http://www.stratego-language.org/tiger-front/syn/Tiger-Expressions.sdf][Tiger-Expressions.sdf]] : function call, arrays, records, etc. * [[http://www.stratego-language.org/tiger-front/syn/Tiger-Operators.sdf][Tiger-Operators.sdf]] : infix arithmetic and logical operators Lexical syntax * [[http://www.stratego-language.org/tiger-front/syn/Tiger-Whitespace.sdf][Tiger-Whitespace.sdf]] * [[http://www.stratego-language.org/tiger-front/syn/Tiger-Comment.sdf][Tiger-Comment.sdf]] * [[http://www.stratego-language.org/tiger-front/syn/Tiger-Literals.sdf][Tiger-Literals.sdf]] * [[http://www.stratego-language.org/tiger-front/syn/Tiger-Lexicals.sdf][Tiger-Lexicals.sdf]] Desugaring turns operators into generic =BinOps= and =RelOps=: * [[http://www.stratego-language.org/tiger-front/syn/Tiger-BinOps.sdf][Tiger-BinOps.sdf]] * [[http://www.stratego-language.org/tiger-front/syn/Operators.sdf][Operators.sdf]] ---++++ Tiger in Stratego The full syntax of the embedding of Tiger in Stratego is defined in the following modules. * [[http://www.stratego-language.org/tiger-front/syn/StrategoTiger.sdf][StrategoTiger.sdf]] : quotation and anti-quotation operators * [[http://www.stratego-language.org/tiger-front/syn/Tiger-Variables.sdf][Tiger-Variables.sdf]] : meta-variable declaration

And 22-year-old Nacogdoches man, Logan Warren, is bragging about it to anyone who will listen. The guy apparently drinks a ton of coffee. About a year ago, Warren received a coupon from his rewards plan entitling him to a free drink, of any size with any additional add-ons, for his birthday.
Game on.
Warren decided to concoct what would be the most expensive Starbucks drink in history. Drinkable? That's another story.
He began by making his liquid gold a "trenta" — that's the 31-ounce super size introduced by the company last year. The rest breaks down like this:
One Java Chip Frappucino ($4.75), plus 16 shots of espresso($12), a shot of soy milk(.60), a drop of caramel flavoring(.50), a scoop of banana puree($1), another scoop of strawberry puree(.60), a few vanilla beans(.50), a dash of Matcha powder(.75), some protein powder(.50) and a caramel and mocha drizzle to cap it off(.60).
1400 milligrams of caffeine! And the taste?
"Tolerable," according to Warren, "but not good. Imagine a coffee-based health food smoothie that will put you in the hospital if you drink it all."
We all have dreams.

On the Office Web Apps team, we are committed to improving our products based on your feedback. Since we launched the Web Apps just over a year ago, we've been listening to you, and today we're releasing new features based on what we've heard.
To everybody who has shared their opinion with us, we want to say a big THANK YOU!
Here's what we're delivering to you today, based on your requests:
OneNote Web App Ink display. We've heard from our OneNote customers who like to use pen-input devices on Tablet PCs to draw and write notes, and we've heard from others who enjoy using the Draw tools in OneNote to add ink and highlighting with the mouse or trackpad when working on PC. You've told us that you'd like to be able to view your handwritten notes and drawings in the OneNote Web App. With today's update, the OneNote Web App now displays ink.
Merge and Autofit cells in Excel Web App. Many Excel Web App customers have requested enhanced cell formatting in the Excel Web App, including the ability to merge cells, and to automatically fit cell sizes based on the content the cells contain (AutoFit). With today's update, you can now do both in the Excel Web App.
Print directly from Excel Web App in the browser. One of our top requests from Excel Web App customers is to print Excel spreadsheets directly from the Excel Web App. We think this enhancement will be a great time-saver when you need to print a spreadsheet by accessing your Excel documents stored on SkyDrive when you're away from your main PC.
Right-click menus in Excel Web App. We have also heard from Excel Web App customers that you'd like to be able to be able to use some of the same right-click short-cuts that are in Excel for the desktop. Now, you can right-click on cells in the Excel Web App to Cut, Copy, Paste, and work with HyperLinks.
Other improvements to make the Web Apps faster and more reliable. One of the most important things you've requested from us is to make the Web Apps faster and more reliable. Today's update includes a lot of behind-the-scenes improvements that do just that.
In the coming weeks, we'll be sharing some more details about how our team listens and acts on your feedback, and we'll share examples of how we've been improving product. Thanks again for all the suggestions, survey responses, and thoughtful comments in social media—please do keep them coming, because we're listening!

Having a comment feature (i.e. inserting comment) in Excel will make this product more complete! (I'm still somewhat ok with the 10seconds delay in sync)
hi, im hoping microsoft could add 'freeze column/row' feature into excel web app.. thank you..
I have a database that is very nice function in Access 2010 but when I publish it the macros are not web macros. If somebody has skills to convert all my macros in web macros I can pay for that. Are not so many... just for example to open hidden reports or forms, to execute a macro more than one time according a formula and other few... I have total on my database about 250 macros but most of them are the same. I think are not so many. Waiting on my email firstname.lastname@example.com and phone 0040740999006
Yes, we decided not to use Excel online in Office Webapps until inserting comment feature is added.

Apr. 17, 2012 Whether you like classical, death metal or skiffle, listening to your own choice of music could improve your enjoyment of taking part in competitive sports and improve performance, a study has found.
This finding is presented April 18 at the British Psychological Society Annual Conference held at the Grand Connaught Rooms, London (18-20 April). The research was carried out by Dr Alexandra Lamont with Rachel Hallett, Jonathan Castro, Charlotte Fowell, Kelly Richardson and Rhian Taylor, all from Keele University.
Dr Lamont said: "By playing their favourite tunes, we found that participants' exertion levels reduced and their sense of being 'in the zone' increased, when compared to listening to no music at all. The greatest effects were found for music used during training.
"So, if you are a Rihanna fan, for example, putting on her latest album could boost your performance and reduce perceived effort during training and before competing."
For this study, three competitive sports groups -- with 64 participants in total -- were compared: football, netball and running. The groups were first polled to establish their favourite type of music, which was different depending on the sport. Female netball players, for example, preferred RnB music.
Each group was assessed before and during training, and before competitions or races, with and without their favourite music. Each session was rated by the participants for perceived motivation, focus, enjoyment, challenge, awareness and rate of perceived exertion.
Listening to favourite music improved ratings of being 'in the zone' across all groups, with the biggest effects occurring during training sessions. A reduction of perceived exertion happened during most sessions.
Previous studies have shown that motivational music in general boosts performance, but have not looked at the effects of participants' favourite music on their performance.

Host Ani will discuss economics and actual wealth with her guest Will Newman II, student, teacher, rabble rouser and general ne'er do well, who is also the Research and Education Director of Oregon Sustainable Agriculture Land Trust (OSALT).
We will discuss some basics of the economy, and the difference between money and wealth. The U$ treasury, the Federal Reserve, and Congress have poured at least 7 trillion dollars (that looks like $7,000,000,000,000, just in case you were wondering) into this failing economy, but can this system be saved? Or are the very fundamental principles of this economic system based in fictions and pyramid schemes?
Randy White, founder of Portland.BrightNeighbor.com , discusses how this new website encourages people to share their skills and their stuff with their neighbors. The idea is to encourage community, nonconsumerism and sustainability, and to help each other in economic hard times.

Kevin Phillips - Swimming with the Sharks: The U.S. Economy
Kevin Phillips was chief political analyst for the 1968 Republican presidential campaign, which culminated in the victory of Richard Nixon. Phillips also was partly responsible for the design of the Republican "Southern strategy," which transformed the once Democratic South into a Republican stronghold. In 1969 he wrote "The Emerging Republican Majority." His politics have evolved over the ensuing decades. He is the author of many books including "American Theocracy" and "Bad Money."
Hosted by Clayton Morgareidge, this program looks at how the emerging Obama administration is walking the line between public interest and private profit in two areas: health care and education. It features several great drum solos from the jazz world (mostly curtailed in the webcast for copyright reasons), and Larry Bowlden's review of Unseen Sights, a novel about mental health and its costs.
One drum piece is heard in its entirety (following Larry's book review); it's by Glen Sheidt of Iretsu.
To hear the whole show, click on the arrow above. To listen to individual pieces, follow the links below:
Public health is a public good -- so it should be a public responsiblity. But many other public goods are poorly served by profit-making private interests. In this commentary, Clayton Morgareidge shows how the debate about a national health care program can, and should, lead to something more.
Reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated -- Socialism is coming back in full force in Europe, according to an article by Neil Clark in the New Statesman. Tom Becker reads, and adds a caveat by the Old Mole's Bill Resnick.
This program revolves around the prospects for universal health care in the Obama years and beyond. Can we have real universal coverage in a profit-driven insurance system? Why are other nations better at this than the US? And we hear a review of Kaye Gibbons' novel Sights Unseen in which issues of mental health are raised.

Pleeeeease DPR, i think it's time for a proper review!
your critical review of the first model helped me decide. i bought it despite the awful destructive colour noise, cause i fell in love with it ;)
it was fine skipping GRd II. But then hardly a sound on GRd III. Now, please, this is a contender for all those 1,7" zoomies!!
I think it's quite impressive for 1.7"!
I didn't expect them to get more out of the same sensor... and some of these you could even go down with the sensitivity. the perfect low-light street photography compact.
ISO400! the texture in the wooded horizon! (looks better than base iso in my GRd I)
Compared to the S95 to me even the JPEGs look better, less processed. I wonder how it'll compare to S100, which squeezes mor MPix into the same size sensor.
I never understand these comments about its alledgedly booring design. Everyone who sees my old GRd tell me how cool it looks.
And compared to its competitors it's not that terribly overprized anymore as what the first one used to be.
If it's anything like the GRD I-III it should be very good; just not good enough. Problem is, if you have the money for one of these and understand the benefits of a prime lens, you're probably well aware of the limitations of the sensor. Unless an X10 is too large, I can't see going with a GRD IV.
I really really want to like this camera, but the price...
Oh well, maybe Fujifilm and Ricoh can charge more for their compacts because they know what they've got.
Wonderful photos. Too bad the camera does not do at least 720p video. Therefore I cannot buy it, because I have young kids. S100 for me I guess. :-(
Noise reduction is too heavy, makes it lose detail. Give me noise or a choice instead of smear. For the rest it looks fine, except that the camera doesn't look anywhere near cool.
You can turn the JPG NR off – I think the reviewers left it on in the photo I looked at.
everyone's commenting on NR. tbh, i don't see much unusual NR in these... i don't get it. compare this to a canon or panasonic, and even though those might not be the worst, you will see what's real noise reduction!
ok,.. sorry, looking again i see what you mean. yet it's not unusual.
In Europe the NEX-5 with kit lens is cheaper than the Ricoh.
So ... who buys the Ricoh P&S ?
omg ... are customers really that stupid ?
Well, gl2k, not everyone thinks price is the only deciding factor when buying a camera. The Ricoh has incredible ergonomics. I can operate the camera (turning on, focus, shoot, change ISO, change WB etc.) with one hand. I'm not sure you can do that with any other P&S camera on the market today.
Plus the Ricoh can fit on your pants pocket a bit easier than the "stock" lens on the Nex. You could probably still fit a Nex in your pocket, but it would look kind of rude and norty...
IQ, in both raw and jpeg, is very "plastic" either on macro (portrait) or micro (foliage) details. For the 2x price, I would have expected an advancement over a Canon S95, or at least the same IQ, given same-ish aperture at 28mm equiv. Stellar ergonomics and lcd are a good addition but cannot justify "per se" an expensive package if there is an unsufficient IQ delivery.
Earlier this year I tested the III as a PJ backup camera. Snap focus and "single handed" ergonomics where the deal maker, sensor weaknesses the breaker. Lens was surprisingly good, but behind LX5 (even if the latter has little scope in fast PJ usage).
Since it looks like the IV has little or no advancement over III sensor wise, I will try it first hand to see if autofocus is really faster (III was snail-paced) and if I can live with snap focus buried in menus.
Otherwise, the III is fantastic value as a BW documentary photography tool.
imo these 1.7" sensor cameras have become so similar in quality that if you don't put then at 100% next to each other on a computer screen, the difference won't hurt you.
f 1.9 and focus on nose tip ;)
in the raw portrait there's better – quite impressive – texture. (skin, wool threads of that scarf). I think jpeg NR up to iso400 is only visible when pixel peeping, if you're planning large prints, why don't you use RAW?
i also think it's much better than the GRd III, from what i see (e.g. here: http://www.d-pixx.de/index.php/online-content/praxisbilder/?g2_itemId=28241 )!
I had a look at the portrait of the woman in JPG mode. Appears to me, looking at the foliage in that shot, that dpreview left the default NR switched on. On that count alone, I wouldn't personally take these as a clear indicator of IQ possible from the GRD4.
There are plenty of GRD4 shots around (flickr, the Ricoh forum) from people who have turned off the factory setting NR. I would recommend people find and look at those, too.
I have a GRD III and have had the GRD IV for a couple of weeks now. ISO 3200 with the IV is comparable to 1600 on the III. Neither is fantastic but shoot DNG and use PS to reduce noise and the results are acceptable if you're not a pixel peeper. Focussing is faster. The screen is gorgeous. I can keep it in my jeans pocket – try that with a DSLR or even the Fuji X100. If you want low light, low noise then take your DSLR. If you want portability and the ability to take street shots without attracting attention then the IV is ideal.
You may say color is natural but I find color is not punchy. The colors GRDIII produce were a bit faded. It seems that GRDIV is same in this respect.
James, firstly, we have no idea what image settings were used. Also many people don't want their photos punched up. Punching up photos can easily be achieved afterwards in Photoshop. Personally, I'd rather have a natural look as a base to start from so a camera's user can choose punchy or not rather than the camera making the choice for them.
Suggestion: Make it so the galleries don't force the entire page to reload when changing to a different image. Makes the browsing slower and very annoying :-(
as always: we don't serve the customer, the customer has to serve us.
@Tom - don't be rude. This site is much more user-friendly now than it was even a couple of years ago.
As for the original post, we're aware that the current way of viewing samples galleries isn't ideal, and it's one of the things that we're working on improving.
Thanks, Simon/Barney. A way to change images without loading the whole page again would be awesome :-) Sounds like you're already working on it.

wonderful lens, but not so good sensor.
there is some noise at ISO 80 like a new DSLR has it at ISO 800
And ISO 3200 is not as good as a Canon S95, my opinion.
Not coincidentally, a typical DSLR has a sensor about 10x larger than the GR Digital IV. Therefore you should expect the SLR to deliver the same noise at an ISO sensitivity 10x higher.
The GRD IV uses the same Sony CCD sensor as the Canon S95.
Having had the S95, I think this camera is better. Instead of smearing the noise away along with detail, they let some noise show and retain the shadow detail. Canon: take a hint. A bit of luminance noise is not so bad.
The GRD III has no noise at ISO 64 to speak of. Much prefer the the GRD III to virtually any other compact. It is made for photographers with a excellent UI. Haven't used the IV.
The in-camera JPEG engine seems to do a wonderful job "cleaning up" the noise without any noticeable loss of detail.
And the high-quality lens really helps the camera achieve excellent results, despite the small, aging 1/1.7" CCD sensor.

The days of buying concert videos and their accompanying soundtracks separately could soon be on the wane. OneDisc Technologies of Dallas is in talks with major and independent labels to begin making a combination single-disc product that plays DVD video on one side and CD audio on the other, the company's president, James Wilson, said.
A combination disc from the singer-songwriter Kathleen Edwards, ''Live From the Bowery Ballroom'' on Rounder Records, is already in stores. One side includes three songs that play in a standard CD player, while the flip side features two DVD music videos. OneDisc owns a license for the technology involved.
For years, artists have included video footage on enhanced music CD's, but that video, viewable on a computer as a CD-ROM, does not have the same playback quality of DVD's. More recently, record labels have been bundling bonus DVD's with traditional CD's to entice music fans to buy albums rather than illegally downloading or copying them. Those packages include two separate discs, one for audio content and other for video.

I bristle at those who say to presenters, "Just be yourself." Which self? The self that converses with my best friend's grandmother at her dining room table, or the guy who teases his teammates and drinks beer while taking off his hockey equipment in the locker room?
What if my self lacks expressiveness, intellectual clarity, empathy for others, a sense of humor? Should I just be me and hope for the best?
The fact is, I'm a lot of different people and I wear many different costumes. I don't go to weddings wearing my running shorts, and I don't go to the gym wearing my tuxedo. I have costumes and behaviors for various functions.
In fact, most of us are offended by untucked shirts, short skirts, and baseball caps at the opera or a graduation ceremony. And most audiences experience a nonrational annoyance at speakers with inappropriate presentation behaviors and clothing.
This is because style communicates character. Every presentation is a mingling of fact-based argument and impressions. Shrewd observers discern character traits in how we dress and present ourselves. The words we use, the intonations and pacing of our speech, our body language, the frequency of our blinks, of our "ers and uhms"–they all add up to the audience's perception of our abilities. The French naturalist Buffon concluded that "Style is the man himself."
Should we tell cell-phone manufacturers not to worry about style. "Just make plain old phones, don't worry about how they look."
Shall we tell Ford, GM, and Chrysler to fire all their designers and give us boxey vehicles in one shade of black?
Shall we all give up on fashion, and wear identical burlap sacks?
I don't think we want to do any of these things, and we don't want to "just be ourselves" when we're presenting. We want to win the assent of others. We want to induce belief when we speak. We want to inspire trust, loyalty, respect. We need to use all the arrows in our quiver.
There are many (some in high places) who scorn any proficiency in adding force and color to a presentation. These people are often completely ineffective themselves. They scorn the persuasive arts and their audiences may very well dismiss them as irrelevant.
The suppression of style is itself a style. Remember Senator Sam Ervin, who brought down the Nixon White House with his, "Aw shucks, I'm just a country lawyer" style. Very effective. The stealth approach.
The bottom line is that you can't affect others with your idea if you yourself are not affected by it. Your listeners cannot tell if you are affected by it except by your language and expression. The main reason we make presentations is to demonstrate not only our mastery of the idea we're presenting, but our ability to overcome the obstacles, the passions and fears of others who may get in the way of it's implementation.
In other words, the audience is looking for good ideas and someone to make them happen. Your style is a big chunk of your substance.

Things come in threes.
First Representative Williams of South Carolina yelled, "You lie!" at the President during his speech on health care reform.
Then Serena Williams went off on a line judge at the U.S. Open.
Then Kanye West lost it at the Grammy Awards Ceremony.
The Serena thing is understandable—she's out there fighting for her life and is all pumped up. John McEnroe did much worse and is now a distinguished elder statesman of tennis. Let's give Serena a break.
But the other two guys stepped way over the line. Screaming at the President and hijacking a microphone at a public ceremony are disruptive and rude behaviors.
It's interesting that it got them both a lot of attention. I suspect that was Kanye's motive. I think Representative Williams is just a guy who is used to speaking his mind and lost the gyroscope on his social skills.
And that's what can happen to us as presenters.
I know one guy who was questioned about his marketing plan by an executive committee. They wanted to know how he came up with his forecast number. He told them and they said it didn't seem right.
After a lot of going back and forth on his methodologies for determining the forecast, he got impatient and said, with his hands on his hips, "Well, if you don't like the number, what do you want the number to be?"
You can imagine the silence in the room. The President of the company took a breath and said, "Randy, why don't we figure that out later. Thank you for your time."
Randy did not get sent to Siberia, but almost. It took him years to earn his way back into the good graces of the executive committee.
Think two or three times before you let your temper get the best of you when you're in the public eye. Staying calm under pressure demonstrates maturity and leadership.
More than communicating information and ideas, presenting is also a demonstration of character.

Henry Higgins was right. The moment we open our mouths to speak, people judge us. If we have New York accents, we get stereotyped. If we speak with a southern drawl, same thing, different stereotype. And if we speak like a professor, I would bet that many people avoid us like the plague.
Of course, we can overcome these stereotypes with the positive qualities of our character. We can sound like Tony Soprano and act like Mr. Rogers. But the lingering effect of the stereotype remains.
In our practice at Sims Wyeth & Co. we are asked to improve the voice and speech of employees whose are having trouble being heard. This takes several different forms.
First, there are those who have difficulty getting to the point. This is most likely a thinking problem and a habit with obscure roots, not a voice and speech problem.
Then there are those who speak English as a second language. We are a country of immigrants, but when 12 individuals in one department come from 10 different countries, there are many accents and many sets of ears trying to listen to many different pronunciations of English. If the conversations are crucial to strategic business issues, it's a problem.
Then we have some good old American mumblers. These people need to learn how to use their articulators.
And then there are fast talkers, slow talkers, close talkers, soft talkers, and too-loud talkers. And up-talkers, nose-talkers, and talkers who sound like they have marbles in their mouths.

On June 20th in the Wall Street Journal, in response to the media coverage of Tim Russert's untimely death, Peggy Noonan wrote in her Declarations column, "When somebody dies we tell his story and try to define and isolate what was special about it–what it was he brought to the party, how he enhanced life by showing up. In this way we educate ourselves about what really matters."
"In a way, the world is a great liar. It shows you it worships and admires money, but at the end of the day it doesn't. It says it adores fame and celebrity, but it doesn't, not really. The world admires, and wants to hold on to, and not lose, goodness. It admires virtue. [...] That's what we talk about in eulogies, because that's what's important."
Reading this, it struck me that we could say the same thing about public speaking. We make a show of admiring speakers who are clever, rich with data slides, equipped with approved platform behaviors and polished texts. But in the end, what we really like in speakers is character.
Character traits that appeal to audiences are varied, but certainly confidence is one, tempered, we hope, with humility. Genuine interest in the audience is another, or at least an empathetic understanding of their needs and concerns.
Finally, I myself like speakers who appear to be authentic, true to themselves, not working too hard to please me, but are nevertheless skilled at holding my attention.
Think about this. When a speech or presentation is over, which do you remember the longest: what the speaker said, or the impression the speaker created?
Decision makers rarely undertake an important project without first hearing the project leader explain it to them. They are listening for two things–grasp of the material, and the requisite character needed to overcome the inevitable obstacles any large project will encounter.
When a presentation is over, and listeners gather to discuss it and pass judgment, the speaker's expertise is the dimension they consider overtly. But deep down, their decisions are informed by their perceptions of the speaker's character.

A derelict area of land at a key crossroads in the Caerphilly county borough is enjoying a facelift thanks to help from local school children.
Glanynant Park, located next to the junction know locally as 'Pengam Lights', is looking blooming great thanks to the help of nearly 300 pupils from nearby Lewis School Pengam.
More than 800 shrubs including heathers, lavender and sage have been planted at the site as part of a special workshop organised by Groundwork Caerphilly.
Caerphilly county borough council recognised that this area of land needed brightening up and secured Landfill Tax to fund this exciting improvement scheme. The money will also be used for a new sculpture which will be erected on site during July to compliment the landscaping scheme.
This project brought together CCBC Environmental Services Department and Groundwork Caerphilly.
After each planting session, residents and young people got together for a well deserved healthy snack for their efforts, provided for by the Glanynant and Tiryberth partnership.
Cllr Lyn Ackerman, CCBC Cabinet Member for the Environment and Housing, said, "Everyone had fun planting the shrubs and it was great to see the pupils enjoying themselves. I'm looking forward to seeing the heathers in the autumn when this area will be awash with colour.''

Emmy-winning journalist Maria Shriver is getting her old job back… well, sort of. The former first lady of California will return to NBC News as a special anchor reporting on "shifting roles, emerging power and evolving needs of women in modern life."
"I've always believed that television can inspire and elevate humanity, and that's my mission with this new partnership," said Shriver in a statement."The Last Stand" star Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't giving up on his marriage to Maria Shriver. Although his wife of 25 years filed for divorce in 2011, he still hopes to save the relationship.
The former California governor told Germany's Bild newspaper that he spent Christmas with Shriver and the kids, and that "we're not fighting any war. I hope for reconciliation. I still love Maria.""Extra's" Jerry Penacoli caught up with Arnold Schwarzenegger at the L.A. premiere of "The Last Stand," where the actor talked about his family.
Schwarzenegger beamed, "I'm very proud of them. They are great kids and great athletes and very smart in school, so I'm very proud, but that's also because they have a great mother who is on top of the situation."Here are more hot topics for October 2!

Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted to "60 Minutes" that cheating on Maria Shriver with housekeeper Mildred Baena was the "stupidest thing" he'd ever done to his former wife.
"I think it was the stupidest thing I've done in the whole relationship. It was terrible. I inflicted tremendous pain on Maria and unbelievable pain on the kids," Schwarzenegger said.Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger is opening up in a new explosive tell-all book called "Total Recall," detailing how wife Maria Shriver confronted him over his secret son with housekeeper Mildred Baena.
Maria waited until the day after Arnold left his post as California governor in January 2011 to ask him about the affair in couple's therapy. He writes, "The minute we sat down, the therapist turned to me and said, 'Maria wanted to come here today and to ask about a child — whether you fathered a child with your housekeeper Mildred."Former First Lady of California Maria Shriver is eager to sell the ranch she and Gov. Schwarzenegger bought because she wants to move on.
The former power couple, who paid $4.7 million for the 25-acre historic Santa Barbara Ranch Monte Alegro tract in 2008, have had the estate privately listed since January, but have had no takers.
Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has begun to enjoy the single life as his divorce from Maria Shriver is nearly finalized. The "Terminator" was spotted with a younger woman over the weekend in West Hollywood, reports TMZ.
Arnold was talking with a "kinda pretty, super skinny and hippie-like" brunette who looked to be about 25, said eyewitnesses at Bagatelle restaurant on Friday night. Despite the chemistry, the two left separately.

This is how you lose her.
You lose her when you forget to remember the little things that mean the world to her: the sincerity in a stranger's voice during a trip to the grocery, the delight of finding something lost or forgotten like a sticker from when she was five, the selflessness of a child giving a part of his meal to another, the scent of new books in the store, the surprise short but honest notes she tucks in her journal and others you could only see if you look closely.
You must remember when she forgets.
You lose her when you don't notice that she notices everything about you: your use of the proper punctuation that tells her continuation rather than finality, your silence when you're about to ask a question but you think anything you're about to say to her would be silly, your mindless humming when it is too quiet, your handwriting when you sign your name in blank sheets of paper, your muted laughter when you are trying to be polite, and more and more of what you are, which you don't even know about yourself, because she pays attention.
She remembers when you forget.
You lose her for every second you make her feel less and less of the beauty that she is. When you make her feel that she is replaceable. She wants to feel cherished. When you make her feel that you are fleeting. She wants you to stay. When you make her feel inadequate. She wants to know that she is enough and she does not need to change for you, nor for anyone else because she is she and she is beautiful, kind and good.
You must learn her.
You must know the reason why she is silent. You must trace her weakest spots. You must write to her. You must remind her that you are there. You must know how long it takes for her to give up. You must be there to hold her when she is about to.
You must love her because many have tried and failed. And she wants to know that she is worthy to be loved, that she is worthy to be kept.
And, this is how you keep her.

An 87 Year Old College Student Named Rose
The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know.
I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me
with a smile that lit up her entire being.
She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?"
I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze.
"Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked.
She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids…"
"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.
After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.We became instant friends. Every day for the
next three months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this "time machine"
as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and
she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was
introduced and stepped up to the podium.
As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, "I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell
you what I know."
As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop
playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day.
You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.
We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!There is a huge difference between growing
older and growing up.
If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.
If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.
Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change.
Have no regrets.
The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those
with regrets."
She concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Rose."
She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.
At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died
peacefully in her sleep.
Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's
never too late to be all you can possibly be .When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they'll really enjoy it!
These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.
We make a Living by what we get, We make a Life by what we give.

Billy Ray Cyrus Talks About Miley's VMA Performance
Photo Credit: Splash News
We've all been waiting to hear from Miley Cyrus' daddy. Many have assumed that he's outraged and humiliated given his daughter's raunchy performance Sunday night at the MTV VMAs. He's been relatively silent since Sunday, and we've inferred that it's because he doesn't want to draw attention to his daughter's poor behavior.
Well... we're wrong. Turns out Billy Ray isn't upset.
"Of course I'll always be here for Miley. Can't wait to see her when she gets home. She's still my little girl and I'm still her Dad regardless how this circus we call show business plays out. I love her unconditionally and that will never change, " Billy Ray told Entertainment Tonight's Nancy O'Dell.
And that's all well and good, but notice he doesn't necessarily defend her performance...
Alec Baldwin Gets In Another Paparazzi Fight
Photo Credit: Getty Images
Alec Baldwin is still angry. Yesterday, he was very angry when 2 paparazzi guys tried to capture pictures of him and his wife, Hilaria. Hilaria just gave birth on Friday, so Alec was feeling exceptionally edgy and protective.
In response to the pushy photogs, Alec grabbed one of them, put him in a hammerlock, and pinned him against the hood of a car, reports New York Daily News.
Witnesses say the photographer was being too aggressive, especially since he continued to follow Hilaria after his scuffle with Alec! Things almost got physical AGAIN, but someone was finally able to convince the photographer to back off.
The cops were called, but when they arrived neither the photographer nor Alec wanted to press charges.
The only good thing that came out of this whole situation... the pictures! SEE ALEC'S HAMMERLOCK HERE.

Catholic bishops promote 'natural' family planning amid battle over contraception mandate
Amid a battle with President Obama over a new contraception mandate, the nation's Roman Catholic bishops are promoting natural family planning — but will their flock take heed?
When the Obama administration in January announced that employers will have to provide contraception coverage to their employees, U.S. Catholic bishops took the lead in fighting the mandate.
Allied with other denominations, the Catholic hierarchy has organized an energetic, nationwide effort to overturn this new federal rule. The Catholic Church calls birth control a sin, even as many Catholics practice it.
The bishops are hoping to change that with their Natural Family Planning Awareness Week, an annual campaign that begins this Sunday (July 22). It's the church's only acceptable form of birth control, even as many sexuality educators consider it relatively unreliable.
Natural Family Planning Awareness Week, then, may provide a window into a church teaching that is helping to drive the most serious standoff between the church and the federal government in decades.
Even the bishops acknowledge that the church's efforts aren't winning many adherents to natural family planning, by which a couple charts changes in a woman's body to determine when she is likely to be fertile.
A 2011 survey shows that just two percent of American Catholic women at risk of unintended pregnancy rely on the method. And an overwhelming majority of U.S. Catholics reject the church's ban on artificial birth control.
"Sadly, the majority of Catholics still do not know about Church teachings on married love nor understand why the Church considers artificial contraception immoral," said Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend.
"This, tragically, is due to inconsistent education and formation since 1968. Over the last 30 years, we have been striving to correct the situation," said Rhoades, who chairs the Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life, and Youth of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The birth control ban was codified in Pope Paul VI's 1968 encyclical, Humanae Vitae, "On Human Life." The Catholic Church continues to strive — mostly alone. It stands as the only major religious denomination in the nation to oppose what it considers "artificial" contraception. [More]

Elizabeth — thanks for your post. Your future posts will be appreciated, as there are many posters on this website who need to be evangelized — the majority here reject the Church's Magisterial authority, and believe that they know better on some matters — just like Eve in the Garden.
Birth Control in any form has always been forbidden in the Catholic Church. It is and always has been a mortal sin. Unfortunately this teaching has not been adequately disseminated of late.
It is time that the Catholic Bishops use ths as a "teaching moment" for all Catholics .

(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate inhibits human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 oncoprotein-induced angiogenesis in non-small cell lung cancer cells by targeting HIF-1α | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 23292117 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher |
PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) on human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 oncoprotein-induced angiogenesis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: NSCLC cells (A549 and NCI-H460) transfected with EGFP plasmids containing HPV-16 E6 or E7 oncogene were treated with different concentrations of EGCG for 16 h. The effects of EGCG on angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo were observed. The expression of HIF-1α, p-Akt, and p-ERK1/2 proteins in NSCLC cells was analyzed by Western blot. The levels of HIF-1α mRNA in NSCLC cells were detected by real-time RT-PCR. The concentration of VEGF and IL-8 in the conditioned media was determined by ELISA. HIF-1α, VEGF, and CD31 expression in A549 xenografted tumors of nude mice was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: HPV-16 E6 and E7 oncoproteins HIF-1α-dependently promoted angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo, which was inhibited by EGCG. Mechanistically, EGCG inhibited HPV-16 oncoprotein-induced HIF-1α protein expression but had no effect on HIF-1α mRNA expression in NSCLC cells. Additionally, 50 and 100 μmol/L of EGCG significantly reduced the secretion of VEGF and IL-8 proteins induced by HPV-16 E7 oncoprotein in NSCLC A549 cells. Meanwhile, HPV-16 E6 and E7 oncoproteins HIF-1α-dependently enhanced Akt activation in A549 cells, which was suppressed by EGCG. Furthermore, EGCG inhibited HPV-16 oncoprotein-induced HIF-1α and HIF-1α-dependent VEGF and CD31 expression in A549 xenografted tumors. CONCLUSIONS: EGCG inhibited HPV-16 oncoprotein-induced angiogenesis conferred by NSCLC through the inhibition of HIF-1α protein expression and HIF-1α-dependent expression of VEGF, IL-8, and CD31 as well as activation of Akt, suggesting that HIF-1α may be a potential target of EGCG against HPV-related NSCLC angiogenesis. |
