White Papers
Disappointed Customers? - A review of UK Retail Online
T-Systems has used Vamosa technology to look 'under the hood' of 139 UK retail websites over a three week period in April and May of 2011. The purpose of the review was to provide insight into the challenges and mechanics of web retailer's sites on two dimensions.
7 Steps to IBM LWCM Migration
This white paper presents a roadmap and defines the implementation steps required in order to achieve a successful migration into IBM LWCM.
Content Migration Seven Steps to Success
The migration of web pages or documents into a Content Management System
(CMS) is often undertaken as a last minute exercise. This white paper outlines
the business benefits of taking a planned approach to content migrations.
Five Steps to Discovering the Real Shape of Your Digital Content
What most organizations do not realize is the actual volume of data living and breathing on their corporate web properties. In a world where it is estimated that around 80% of corporate data exists in unstructured forms - web pages and documents - just assessing the scale of the challenge can be a major headache.
Making Enterprise Content Governance a Reality
Read this paper, and you'll learn more about the typical barriers to starting a content quality project. You'll see how Vamosa's unique end-to-end technology portfolio can break down those barriers, by automating the content quality lifecycle. And you'll see why this makes Vamosa the only solutions provider truly equipped to make content quality - and Enterprise Content Governance - a reality.
SharePoint Migration: Five steps to achieving effective governance for complex projects
This paper describes five steps to achieving and maintaining effective governance of complex SharePoint projects. Through Vamosa's unique approach, you'll discover how you can help your whole business achieve true Enterprise Content Governance, for enhanced productivity, improved collaboration, lower costs and better compliance.
The Rise of Information Governance
How do you start to get a grip on the uncontrolled data in your organization and implement policies to keep it under control? Do you even know how much unstructured data is drifting around unmanaged in data repositories across your company?
Time to Make Content a Board-Level Issue
The need for businesses to protect costs and competitive edge has never been greater. That's why now is the time for organizations to control and structure their content properly across the enterprise. Through proper control of content - truly effective Enterprise Content Governance - businesses can optimize their existing investment in enterprise content management systems, while reducing costs, improving corporate efficiency, ensuring compliance and reducing their carbon footprint.
Web Content Migration: - 4 steps to Effective Governance
When deciding to migrate web content into a new Enterprise Content Management system (ECM system), organizations often stick their heads in the sand about Enterprise Content Governance (ECoG). Overwhelmed by the volume of content they own, they listen to those ECM system vendors who claim ECoG to be 'too difficult', preferring instead to believe that content migration can really be as simple as moving content out of one system and into another.
Web Governance and Standards Compliance
The Web is simply too mission-critical to operate in an ad hoc or informal manner. In order to effectively align the Web with strategic objectives, formal Web Governance must be established and mechanisms to enforce standards must be incorporated into day-to-day operations.
This white paper created in conjunction with WelchmanPierpoint helps to illustrate the importance of Web Governance.

I don't know if this is the correct forum but here goes. I am running windows xp sp3 on a Hp laptop. yesterday I was able to open outlook express but today it will not open. Instead I get the error message" The current identity could not be changed because one of the applications was unable to switch. Close any open dialog boxes in other applications before trying again." The only application open is for connecting to the 3g network. I have tried opening task manager and stopping msimn.exe and restarting the computer, but this doesn't help. I called the 3g service provider but they said it is a microsoft problem so I called microsoft. Microsoft wanted to charge me 999.00 ZAR for something they could have assisted me with over the phone. I tried logging onto supportmicrosoft.com but when I try to log the request all it does is show my previous request and I cannot find an option to log a new request.

For those of you that don't frequent World of Raids (why don't you?!), a few days ago I reported on the fact that it's currently possible to tame an NPC in Howling Fjord, which if timed properly, will allow you to have a worgen as your pet! The news first popped up on Mania's Arcania and spread like wildfire -- taking the Hunter community by storm as everyone who hadn't completed the quest scurried to tame their very own worgen.
The NPC in question is Garwal, a quest target for Alpha Worg, which is part of a series that both Alliance and Horde players can participate in. Unfortunately if you've already completed the quest, then you won't be able to tame Garwal, but if you haven't then you can enjoy having a worgen pet, at least for now. Check out Zarhym's comment below to understand why.
Quote from: Zarhym (Source)
As you put it Zennie, we are currently discussing this issue.
It is not intended that Garwal can be tamed while in worgen form and will be addressed via a hotfix in the near future. When we have determined how to handle situations where hunters have already tamed Garwal we will let you know.
If you haven't tamed Garwal yet, you may want to do it soon. It might be an exercise in futility in the long run, leaving you with a normal worg pet, but at least for a while you can enjoy having one of the more unique pets in the game!
What other exotic NPCs have you managed to tame on your Hunter? And what creature types do you wish Blizzard would allow to be tamed?

DALLAS — Federal regulators are investigating American Airlines over structural repairs to its aging fleet of MD-80 series aircraft.
A Federal Aviation Administration official said yesterday that the investigation centered on 16 planes.
The Wall Street Journal reported that FAA officials suspect American rushed to retire one of the planes to keep it away from inspectors. A spokesman for American denied the accusation and said mothballing the aircraft wouldn't let it escape FAA scrutiny.
"We retired the plane for economic reasons, tied to our decision several months ago to reduce capacity," spokesman Roger Frizzell said. "Any other assertion is incorrect and misleading."
FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford declined to say whether inspectors believed the airline had tried to hide the plane or whether they had examined it in the New Mexico desert, where it is now parked. He said inspectors examined "a number of planes" during an investigation that dates back at least to March.
Lunsford said the investigation centered on repairs to the rear bulkhead of the MD-80 series aircraft. As of May, American had 270 MD-80 series jets, or 44 percent of its fleet.
Airplanes expand and contract as the cabin is pressurized for flight and then depressurized. That can lead to metal fatigue that requires close monitoring and sometimes repairs, especially around the rear bulkhead.


text: Self-management By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Lifestyle and home remediesFor temporary relief of itching, try these self-care measures: Avoid items or situations that cause you to itch. Try to identify what's causing your symptoms and avoid it. This might be rough clothing, an overly heated room, too many hot baths, or an irritating substance such as perfumed soap or detergent, jewelry, or a cleaning product. Use a high-quality moisturizing cream on your skin. Apply cream (Cetaphil, Eucerin, CeraVe, others) to affected skin at least once a day. Use creams or gels that cool the skin. Try calamine lotion or a product with up to 1 percent menthol. Apply an anti-itch cream or lotion to the affected area. Short-term use of nonprescription hydrocortisone cream containing at least 1 percent hydrocortisone can temporarily relieve an itch accompanied by red, inflamed skin. So can calamine lotion or creams that include capsaicin. Topical anesthetics, such as pramoxine, may be helpful. Avoid scratching whenever possible. Cover the itchy area if you can't keep from scratching it. Trim nails and wear gloves at night. Apply cool, wet compresses. Covering the affected area with wet bandages and dressings can help protect the skin and prevent scratching. Take a bath or shower. Use lukewarm bath water and sprinkle in baking soda, uncooked oatmeal or colloidal oatmeal — a finely ground oatmeal that is made for bathing (Aveeno, others). Some people with long-term pruritus say that a hot shower eases their symptoms for hours. Others say a cold shower helps. Whatever method you use, rinse thoroughly and apply moisturizer. Reduce stress. Stress can worsen itching. Counseling, behavior modification therapy, meditation and yoga are some ways of relieving stress. Try over-the-counter allergy medicine. Some of these drugs, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl), can make you drowsy. They might be helpful at night if your itchy skin keeps you awake.

Forbe's survey of NFL Most-Liked Players
1. Troy Polumalu (63 percent appeal rating)
T-2. Drew Brees (62 percent)
T-2. Charles Woodson (62 percent)
4. Peyton Manning (59 percent)
T-5. Aaron Rodgers (58 percent)
T-5. Rob Gronkowski (58 percent)
T-7. Donald Driver (57 percent)
T-7. Robert Griffin III (57 percent)
T-7. Brian Urlacher (57 percent)
10. Matt Stafford (56 percent)
NFL Least-Liked Players
1. Ndamukong Suh (19 percent appeal rating)
2. Jay Cutler (21 percent)
3. Mike Vick (23 percent)
4. Randy Moss (24 percent)
5. Matt Leinart (26 percent)
T-6. Kyle Orton (27 percent)
T-6. Tony Romo (27 percent)
8. Santonio Holmes (28 percent)
T-10. Mark Sanchez (31 percent)
T-10. Brady Quinn (31 percent)
First, it's weird Tim Tebow didn't make either list. Very weird.
Second, it's weird people don't like backup quarterbacks. 3 made the list (and yes, I am aware Quinn is now starting for KC). Does Orton get backlash for keeping Tebow on the bench last year? Was it the neckbeard? What's the deal there?
Third, in some cases I have to believe college football status contributed. Leinart, Quinn, and RGIII jump out.
Fourth, no Tom Brady? No Ray Lewis? No Calvin Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald or Darrelle Revis or Eli Manning or Ben Roethlisberger or Reggie Bush or Cam Newton? Surprising those guys didn't make one list or the other.
Fifth, Suh is really ahead of Vick? Perhaps hurting humans is worse than hurting dogs.
Sixth, anyone else think it's odd Charles Woodson made the list, let alone finished as high as he did?
Finally, players I love. Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, Megatron, Fitzgerald, Patrick Willis, Antoine Winfield, and Adrian Peterson.
Players I hate? Really nobody, but if you screw me in fantasy I won't like you. And as a Dolphins fan, if you play for the Bills, Pats, or Jets I probably root against you.
Feel free to list your loves and hates in the comments. Always curious what does and doesn't appeal to people.

Counselors help explain why people engage in risky behavior
Fear is a good thing it causes people to take steps to minimize risk and keep themselves safe.
That's what I learned this week from a couple of local counselors I asked to help me understand why some gay men in our community keep putting themselves in harm's way by entering into relationships with people they don't know very well. I've lost count of the number of gay men who have died in the last few years, apparently as a result of inviting strangers into their lives.
Many people wind up dead because drug and alcohol use left them unafraid of scary places and scary people. But that's not always the case.
The most recent to die was George Stephenson, an Oak Lawn resident who was known for his kindness, wit and intelligence.
The 69-year-old retired graphic artist and substance abuse counselor was found in his second home in Gainesville last week, beaten and stabbed to death. A 32-year-old suspected drug addict, who is described as a male hustler by police, is charged with capital murder in connection with the crime.
Nothing about Stephenson's death makes any sense to me. A police detective told me he believes Stephenson had hired his suspected killer, Robert Lester Canaga, for sex on more than one occasion. Stephenson's close friends think it was more likely that as an active member of Alcoholics Anonymous, he was trying to help Canaga get sober.
Either scenario is confusing because it raises an important question. Why would someone put themselves at risk and alone in the company of a stranger who may have been a drug addict?
It appears Stephenson may have lost touch with one of the most basic of human emotions. I'm sure at some point he felt the fear that might have saved his life had it kicked in earlier, but by then it was too late.
In Stephenson's case, it seems likely to me that after years of working with addicts to help them recover, he unwisely began to think he could handle anything that might arise regardless of the reason he was in the suspect's company.
The two counselors I contacted were speaking in generalities, and neither knew Stephenson. Their comments are not intended to be an analysis of Stephenson, but instead examples of problems some people gay and straight experience.
Randy Martin, who is a substance abuse counselor, said some people take fewer steps to minimize their risks than others do.
"Something in their own history has short-circuited their survival instinct that causes them to evaluate risk and to minimize it as much as possible," Martin said.
Martin said connecting with other people is always risky when it puts someone into the vulnerable situation of inviting a stranger into their home, even if it is a second or third meeting. The stranger's motives can change over time, he said.
"You might take a person home who has no intention of doing anything other than having sex for money," Martin said. "Once they find you've got lots of nice things around the house, the motive may change."
Martin said an individual who is homeless and selling their bodies may operate under a "whole different system of rules and survival skills" from the majority of society, particularly if they are under the influence of a mind-altering substance. That could be stealing food to get through the night or mugging somebody to provide their basic survival needs, he said.
"For the serious addict, getting their drug of choice is survival for them on the most basic of levels," Martin said. "Asking a serious addict to stop using is really asking them on a deep psychological level to make a life or death choice. It is really at the survival level that the decision is made."
Martin said one of the common traits he sees in people in early and late periods of recovery is a loss of fear when dealing with people who are still using substances.
"It is not a smart thing ever to just try to take on the addiction of someone else and be the doctor," Martin said.
Candy Marcum, another local counselor, said fear is what makes us "look before we cross the street and lock the doors."
"When I see someone living fearlessly, that makes me nervous," Marcum said. "That tells me they are living recklessly."
Marcum said two reasons come to her mind about why someone might engage in the risky behavior of becoming intimate with a stranger or hiring a prostitute.
Many LGBT people lack the self-esteem it requires to meet people in social settings and to undertake the traditional ritual of dating, Marcum said. They prefer to connect with strangers because it requires fewer social skills, she said.
Others might simply get a thrill out of courting danger, Marcum said.
"For some people, that danger is a real adrenalin rush," said Marcum, who equated sexual compulsivity with a feeling of getting high similar to the use of alcohol or drugs. "It feels good."
Many times, people who are engaging in risky behavior for the thrill hide that side of their life from their families and friends, Marcum said.
It is a secret life that makes them feel good, she said.
Again, exactly what happened to Stephenson remains a mystery. There may be only one person who knows exactly what led to the man who was loved by so many losing his life. It remains to be seen if that information will ever be shared.
In the meantime, maybe someone can learn from Stephenson's mistake don't lose touch with your feelings of fear.
From what I've heard about Stephenson from his closest friends, I think he would be grateful if a lesson learned from his death wound up helping others stay out of harm's way.

Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

I'm here late due to apathy but it's always been obvious we will never beat Detroit. They intimidate the hell out of us and always outphysical us. Why haven't I read where Dunn has been fired yet?
The best exercise of the human heart is reaching down and picking someone else up.
I don't think that's really true. They don't intimidate catchings.
Indiana needs at least one bruiser to compete with the front line Detroit always brings to the table. Indiana's never really had that, they rely on perimeter players.
It'll be even more important next year if Cheryl Ford can get healthy. Ford, Braxton and Taj are going to be a monster frontline.
It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.
Division Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 1989, 1990, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
Conference Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 2005
NBA Champions 1989, 1990, 2004
Because Kelly Krauskopf is horrible at her job.
Maybe you should write "Ask the Fever" and ask Dunn why she still has her job. I'm sure she'd love to respond.
Still waiting for the hammer to drop...
I think TPTB are too busy trying to resurrect the Pacers to worry about the Fever. Either that or they're trying to figure out how to turn back time so they can go back and not fire Brian Winters.

DeWayne Reed scored 20 points for the second straight game and Korvotney Barber recorded his fourth double-double in five games with 15 points and 10 rebounds to lead Auburn to its seventh straight victory in a 78-53 win over Tulane in Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum Saturday.
The seven straight wins are the most in the Coach Jeff Lebo era, and the most since the opening of the 2003-04 season.
Tulane (6-7) scored the first 10 points of the game as Auburn (10-4) was held scoreless for the first three minutes. The Tigers closed to within 13-12 and tied the game at 17 on a conventional 3-point play by Barber midway through the first half.
In the midst of a 10-0 run of its own, Auburn took the lead for the first time at 24-22 on a Tay Waller dunk with 7:17 left in the half and never trailed again. The Tigers pushed it to 30-22 before settling for a 40-27 halftime lead, outscoring the Green Wave 40-17 after falling behind 10-0.
"I thought defensively, other than the first four minutes of the game where they jumped out on us 10-0, we played well," said Lebo. "I liked the way they punched us in the mouth, and we didn't panic. We stayed the course. Defense was the name of the game."
Tulane opened the second half with a 7-1 run to close to within 41-34 and got as close as 48-43 with 15:24 left in the game. Auburn scored nine straight points to regain control at 57-43 four minutes later. The Green Wave's Kevin Sims made a pair of free throws to bring Tulane to within 59-49 but the Tigers outscored the Green Wave 20-4 in the final 8:34.
Rasheem Barrett added 11 points in 22 minutes off the bench for the Tigers and Lucas Hargrove had nine points and eight rebounds, all in the first half. Quantez Robertson chipped in nine points and four rebounds as all 12 Tigers played. Reed went 4-of-7 from 3-point range.
Tulane's Asim McQueen, an Auburn High graduate, led the Green Wave with 16 points while Sims had 14 points and Robinson Louisme six points and a career-high 13 rebounds.
Auburn's smothering defense has allowed only 53.3 points per game during the Tigers' seven game winning streak. The Tigers shot 46 percent (26-of-56) from the field, 29 percent (6-of-21) from 3-point range and 71 percent (20-of-28) from the foul line. Tulane shot 37 percent (19-of-51) from the field, 26 percent (5-of-19) from 3-point range and a woeful 46 percent (10-of-22) from the free throw line.
The Tigers only had 11 turnovers to the Green Wave's 17 and outscored Tulane 28-13 in points off turnovers and 38-24 in points in the paint.
Auburn returns to action as it opens SEC play on the road at South Carolina (10-2) on Jan. 10 at 6 pm Central.

Swim or Go East
Dear Editor,
A person can travel from Mermentau east twenty miles to Crowley on Hwy. 90 in a heavy flood, but traveling the five miles from Mermentau to Jennings is a no go.
This is because of a highway fault that doesn't make sense. It's just a dip in the highway that is very foolish just before one tries to exit on Hwy 1126 west, but the water streams over the roadway enough that you can't get to Hwy 1126 to go to Jennings.
The other is about two hundred feet further west. It crosses a very small swamp and dips down to serve as drainage also.
Logic is a shame as one tries to explain the need for either to drain the swamp.
The two appear as a special handicap to traffic that was created to appease water bugs rather than autos. Or maybe they are the result of an intoxicated surveyer trying to appease fish not flesh.

The 2-component composite variable consists of the sum of the ranked changes from baseline to Week 53 for percent predicted Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and 6-Minute Walking Test (6MWT) total distance walked. For the 2 treatment groups being compared, ranking occurred within the comparison treatment groups combined (idursulfase weekly and placebo treatment groups). These comparison groups were pooled and ranked for each component separately. Within each component (% predicted FVC, 6MWT), the change from baseline was then ranked. The lowest change value was assigned a rank of 1, the next lowest a rank of 2, etc. The composite score for each participant was the sum of the 2 ranked scores corresponding to the 2 individual components (% predicted FVC and 6MWT) for each participant. Thus, the greater the composite score (greater the sum of the ranks of the changes from baseline, where the lowest change was ranked as 1), the greater the improvement.

|Brief Summary
|The purpose of this study is to determine whether the administration of iduronate-2-sulfatase enzyme in a weekly or every other week therapy frequency is safe and efficacious in patients with MPS II.
|Detailed Description
|MPS II is a rare, X-linked, lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency in the enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase. Because of this deficiency, glycosaminoglycans (GAG) accumulate in multiple tissues and organs, resulting in progressive cellular and organ system dysfunction. The purpose of this study is to determine if one year of therapy with iduronate-2-sulfatase enzyme replacement therapy, at a dose of 0.5mg/kg, weekly or every other week, is safe, and results in clinically meaningful improvement in multiple organ function, compared with a placebo group. Upon completion of the study, patients will be eligible to enroll in an open-label maintenance study.

New England Pump Guns
Does anyone have any experience with the New England Pumps? I am interested in getting one for HD. I think it will be cheaper to buy one with a longer barrel used and cut it down to 18" than to try to find one new with an 18" barrel. Also, since these guns are an 870 copy does anyone know if Remington mag extensions will work on these guns? I have thought about buying a Winchester or Remington and cutting it down but I hate to do that to a more expensive gun. Any input is appreciated

I own one, and frankly I love it. ive put tons of rounds through it. from bird shot to slugs. I have also wondered if any of 870 gear would work on it but can offer no advice as to that. I would recommend the gun if you can find it at a reasonable price.

I don't know what to think about this???
So this guy on OLD and I have officially winked at each other and started chatting. I asked him to tell me a little about himself because his profile was very short. He said, "My divorce will be official in two months but I've been on my own for a year."
In his profile it says "divorced"
So on one hand, he was honest in telling me up front that it wasn't final yet but on the other hand his profile says he's already divorced.
What do you guys think?
Proceed with caution. The first stages of OLD and dating in real life are all about discovery not about decision making. He could be a liar about things, he could be an honest guy. You just don't know until you have conversations and find out more information.
Personally, I do have a pretty strict policy about not dating "separated" men...I just don't think people make good partner material when they are so fresh out of a marriage...I know I didn't and so I feel I have the right to generalize.
There is also a difference between "legally separated" with paperwork filed en-route to D and "separated" (which could be a trail separation, with plans to try out dating with an option of also R)
It doesn't necessarily mean he's a liar or that there's a problem... it could just be that he thinks he's ready and since the D is on it's way, it's ok.
But he is EARLY in the process on this. He may have dealt with everything and be really ready to date. But odds are against it. The first few relationships during/after a D are usually crash-and-burn situations.
Not telling you to run, but I would either tell him you are only interested in casual dating & keep it that way (as long as his story checks out ok to you), or be EXTREMELY cautious proceeding with any kind of relationship.
Given hindsight on my situation along with how many people here and elsewhere I've seen who have had major problems dating too soon, I would probably give him a pass. But that's me. Follow your instincts, and if something seems off to you, pay attention to that.
On that note, my SO had to white lie because of that. He put me in his "favorites" and never emailed me. I contacted him and we started chatting and he let me know right away that his divorce wasn't final....which is why he didn't contact me yet under that DIVORCED title. He felt bad about having to lie.
So in my opinion, he told you right away. That's awesome! Keep chatting and good luck. :)

I won't even consider a woman who is only separated.
"You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have." ~ Bob Marley
And it probably will work out in his favor he might find someone to date and if he even gets to chat with somebody he's got his foot in the door.
How does he know his divorce will be final in two months? Why believe anything he says anyway?
He could easily be like me, separated for over 3 years
and it has nothing to do with "not being ready" or "emotional anything", simply a financial decision we made.
Worth exploring, make sure the rest of his dates add up. (as in when he really moved out
) and go slow.
Oh, and have fun.
My S and D process were very short and very close together, so I recognize that I'm not a good judge of when to date in an otherwise extended process, but something does seem a little off about this to me.
I agree with Sean. I'd tell him I'd like to get to know him better once his D is final (and if he reached out again in 2 months then I'd check public records to make sure it was final). If he's still interested once he's D and you're still single/interested after keeping yourself open to other possible matches, then you'll both only be better off for having given him the space to deepen his detachment from his M.
I had a long separation process as my x sat on the divorce papers for months stalling the process. After 18 months I felt ok to date, not expecting more than a few dinners out w nice men. As it turned out, by the time I got past the emailing stage, the phone call stage, the meet over coffee stage, and to my first real date the D was final. 4 years later I am still w this nice guy I met during that time.
Of course proceed w caution, but in my mind it is not a red flag, or a deal breaker, it's something to watch out for as you get to know him.
I dont necessarily think dating before you're divorced is horrible, since some divorces take forEVER. XWH and I had been apart for quite a while and I'd already filed, so I saw no reason to sit at home.
That said, I was always up front about my marital status and didn't take offense if someone chose to opt out.
This guy told you right away. I say give it a shot if all else checks out...but proceed with caution!
WH#2 (SorryinSac)- Killed himself (May 2015) in our home 6 days after being served divorce docs.
XWH #1 - legally married 18yrs. 12+ OW (that I know of).
I edit often for clarity/typos.
In my years of off and on experience with online dating, I came to find that most people who are separated were finding that no one really wanted to bother with them, so they changed their status to "divorced."
I had an iron-clad rule that I would NOT waste my time on 'separated' men and I stuck to it with NO exceptions. I had to argue my case several times with a few men who had contacted me who were separated and didn't like that I wasn't going to persue getting to know them because of that.
I'd also met one or two for drinks who had claimed to be divorced but confessed they really weren't...yet. I told them I DON'T date separated men and didn't appreciate being tricked into coming out to meet them.

am on 5mg coumadin for a dvt...is it safe to have this new treatment????? thanks
Can I Have the New Thermage CPT While on Coumadin?
Doctor Answers 5
Thermage and Coumadin
Absolutely, there is no contraindication with getting a Thermage treatment while on Coumadin. You may be a little more sensitive to getting a slight superficial bruise due to continuous pulses in an area or pulling of the skin to help aid in the contouring of the area to tighten and stimulate collagen. Overall, it is absolutely safe for patients on coumadin.
Hope this helps.

NYC Thermage what you should know if on Coumadin
Yes. It is safe to have Thermage if you are on Coumadin. Although you might be a bit more sensative and possibly bruise, it can be controlled with topical anesthetic and can be a very comfortable experience
Thermage CPT while on Coumadin
Thermage CPT (Comfort Pulse Technology) is a major innovation in Thermage treatment in that it is less painful than Thermage Nxt.
The Thermage procedure (Nxt or CPT) causes an increase in the temperature of the area treated. This, in turn, causes tightening of the collagen. As a result, some small blood vessels may be injured in the process.
Although bruising has not been reported after Thermage procedures, if done on a patient on Coumadin, bruising, possibly severe, may occur. Therefore, I would be very careful.
I recommend that:
1- You consult with your Internist regarding this procedure
2-Although not practical nor economical, you may ask the Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon to only treat a limited area of your face and watch for bruising.
3.-Always make sure that you are being treated by a Board Certified Dertmatologist or plastic Surgeon.

Thermage while on Coumadin
It is safe for you to have Thermage treatment while on Coumadin or any other blood thinner. Thermage does not cause any wound or break in the skin, so there is not a risk of bleeding. During the treatment the tip is pressed firmly against your skin which could potentially cause bruising. Be sure that you are on the correct dose of Coumadin, because if you are on too high of a dose you are at risk for increased bruising and bleeding overall.
Thermage and Coumadin
Coumadin should not affect your ability to have Thermage CPTat all. Most patients who are treated with Coumadin for DVT are treated for a year. I have seen bruising occasionally after Thermage- moreso on older patient- so there is a chance that such an effect can be worsened so my suggestion is, if you can wait, then what's the downside?

By Scott Schafer executive vice president, Arecont Vision
Several factors are converging to make megapixel technology an especially attractive option in video surveillance systems worldwide.
Security professionals all over the world are taking advantage of new megapixel cameras that deliver more resolution and detail and can be implemented anywhere on the network without overtaxing network infrastructure. These advantages are resonating with customers globally as megapixel cameras continue to gain traction for mainstream video surveillance applications.
Megapixel cameras are already at work around the world in large and small applications in every vertical market. Some examples include
More cameras to choose from. A broader choice of cameras now serves virtually every mainstream application. There are cameras with resolutions from 1.3 to 20 megapixels available in a variety of feature sets and configurations including day/night operation, compact enclosures, 360-degree or 180-degree panoramic viewing, 1080p HD resolution, all-in-one domes, vandal-proof, and IP66-rated enclosures.
The market is more knowledgeable about megapixel advantages. Channel partners and end users are becoming more familiar with the benefits of megapixel cameras as more systems are implemented globally.
Technology innovations such as H.264. Advanced recording formats like H.264 not only deliver a better image, but they also can reduce network bandwidth and storage costs.
Easier integration with video management systems (VMSs). Important technology and software partnerships among industry leaders throughout the world, including VMS suppliers, ensure a smooth path to megapixel system implementation.
Focus on vertical market applications. Through distributors, system integrators, solutions providers, and architects and engineers, megapixel camera suppliers cater to the needs of a variety of vertical markets, including banking, retail, education, gaming, government, manufacturing, and transportation. For example, Arecont Vision's high-definition 1080p H.264 camera features Casino Mode to ensure that the frame rate will not dip below the 30 frames-per-second required in the gaming industry.
Economics. The price points of megapixel cameras are comparable to conventional cameras, but deliver much better image quality. In addition to pricing that is attractive for the full range of mainstream video applications, megapixel cameras enable integrators to design more cost-efficient systems, specifically systems offering lower total cost of ownership and higher return on investment. System advantages include the ability to use fewer cameras, for example, and the ability to pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) digitally within a megapixel image, especially on recorded video. Fewer cameras also require fewer cables, camera mounts, and housings, thereby reducing overall installation expenses.
These are the key factors accelerating adoption of megapixel cameras for mainstream professional video surveillance applications throughout the world. As the number of megapixel camera installations continues to grow globally, more industry professionals will look to the successes of their peers to substantiate the migration to megapixel imaging.

So what are the takeaways from the MegaUpload indictment? And what are the implications for other cyberlocker services and cloud storage providers?
First, this should be clear and convincing evidence that piracy is big business. The indictment states that the alleged conspirators earned more than $175 million in illegal profits through their services and caused over $500 million in economic harm to copyright owners. Moreover, these are profits that instead of going to legitimate businesses or taxpayers in the United States were instead spent by an ex-con in New Zealand on his self-described playboy lifestyle of "fast cars, hot girls, superyachts and amazing parties." While we will never know the exact economic impact of piracy on the United States, this case demonstrates exactly how the content industry cannot simply create better business models to solve the piracy problem. A legitimate startup cannot compete fairly with another site that does not pay copyright owners for their content.
Second, this puts the business model of cyberlockers on the proverbial hot seat. Cyberlockers are file-sharing services that allow users to easily store and share files online. For example, users may use cyberlockers to back up the contents of their hard drive or to send large files to friends or colleagues that would otherwise be cumbersome to send by email. Cyberlockers come with various features: some limit files to a few hundred megabytes, some have almost no limit; some are ad-supported, some are paid subscriptions, etc.
Cyberlockers have been under scrutiny for some time now as reports have found that as of 2011 cyberlockers account for 5.1 percent of global Internet traffic. And they have been getting a bad rap over the past few years because legitimate uses have become secondary to illegitimate uses. Much of it is due to the willingness of a few bad actors to facilitate piracy and, as a result, this has overshadowed the legitimate use of these services. For example, in December 2011, the USTR identified Megaupload and the UK-based Putlocker in its "Out of Cycle Review of Notorious Markets" report that identifies the worst of the worst markets, including on the Internet, for piracy and counterfeiting. The USTR noted that both of these sites used reward systems which are popular with illegal file uploaders.
Third, users naturally wonder what the impact of the Megaupload case will be on legitimate third-party file hosting sites like DropBox. Should they continue to store their files with online third-parties? What will happen to their files? Some Internet users are arguing that the Department of Justice should not have shut down an alleged infringing site since this hurt both illegal file sharers and legal file sharers.
For the most part, these legitimate sites (and their users) have nothing to worry about. Importantly, the DOJ indictment was not just of Megaupload.com's hosting site, but of a broader "Mega Conspiracy" designed to intentionally infringe on copyrighted works through 1) its business model of paying users who upload popular copyrighted content and drive users to the website; 2) discouraging legitimate use of the service by deleting files that are not regularly downloaded; 3) actively supporting third-party linking sites that publicize infringing content. Sites simply hosting content and responding appropriately to DMCA take-down notices would not be in violation of the law.
Still legitimate third-party file hosting sites should make a concerted effort to distinguish themselves from their illegitimate peers. Some have already taken action to curtail bad behavior in the wake of the Megaupload indictment (although whether their motivation is to avoid prosecution or because they have a new-found sense of responsibility is unclear). Certainly some cyberlockers do provide a legitimate service–cheap online storage for storing and sharing files is useful and legitimate for many Internet users. But clearly some third-party storage services attract piracy and others do not. For example, Amazon's cloud storage offering is not a likely haven for pirated content since their users pay for bandwidth (i.e. the uploader of a pirated file would pay for every user who downloaded the file illegally).
In contrast, the piracy-based business model of cyberlocker was basically as follows:
- Earn subscription fees from users who pay to access pirated content.
- Earn ad revenue from users who download pirated content.
- Entice users to upload more pirated content by giving them a share of the profit from steps 1 and 2.
Cutting off this incentive to pirate will help crack down on some online piracy. While a business model should not be illegal simply because it may facilitate some illegal activity, a responsible Internet business should take actions to ensure it minimizes illegal activity when possible. With that in mind, I would like to propose a set of voluntary best practices to reduce the use of file lockers for widely sharing illegal content. Adopting industry best practices has helped keep user-generate content sites like Veoh, Dailymotion and Crackle from turning into piracy havens. Similarly, the cyberlocker industry should work to develop best practices and make their terms public. While this will not stop all infringement, and it certainly won't stop small-scale file sharing between users on these services, it should reduce the use of file lockers for wide-scale infringement.
- Repeat infringers should be prohibited from using the service and their other files should be deleted or made private (i.e. only available to the user who uploaded the content).
- Affiliate programs which encourage people to upload popular files should be discontinued.
- Cyberlockers should identify sites known for sharing links to infringing content. Publicly shared links to infringing content on a cyberlocker should be deleted or made private.
- Private files should remain private. Files stored privately online should be treated the same as files stored privately at home on a computer.
Note that I do not suggest the use of content identification software because it is too easily avoided (i.e. encrypt the files) and too easily to trigger a false positive (i.e. a legal backup of an MP3).
I invite other suggestions on how to further refine these best practices.

For example numpy 1.4 has improved nan-handling, which larry (a soon to be released labeled array) relies on. I just asked Keith not to make numpy 1.4 a hard requirement because I'm recommending to windows users not to upgrade numpy. And we still don't have a warning on the front page.

However, as David said the main problem are the large number of version combinations for which binary distributions should be made available. several versions of python, numpy, platforms. numpy just doubled the requirement. numpy is (or has become) too important for the entire ecosphere to accidentally break binary compatibility without warning and preparation.

Mother nature decided to dump on the Bronx and Yankee Stadium Wednesday night. It was coming down like a tropical storm.
Play was halted at 8:46 pm and it came down so hard the grounds crew at the stadium had some problems getting the field covered due to high winds. It took them 14 minutes to get it covered, allowing enough time to soak the infield dirt.
When the game was halted, the Yankees were up 2-1 in the home half of the fifth inning. It was announced at 9:05 pm that play was set to resume around 10:00 pm and the grounds crew pulled the tarp off the field at 10:24 pm. But the game was eventually called off and the Yankees beat the Texas Rangers in four and a half innings.

During his visit to Poland, Italian street artist Blu took the time to paint this large mural on the side of a building in Krakow. Continuing with the religious theme that's been noticed in some of his most recent paintings, the artist depicts an ominous figure speaking into a bullhorn that's been transformed into a church bell. At the bottom of the mural is a large mass of people huddled together and listening attentively to the message being delivered from the man above. While it's impossible to know what the people are being told, the artist's message reads loud and clear.

New Delhi: A 16-year-old boy in Lodhi Colony has been rendered homeless after allegedly being "disowned" by his mother, a government employee, who "gave up" on her son owing to his "waywardness", police said on Tuesday.
The boy has alleged that he was not being treated well and was evicted from his home by his own mother a few months back, they said.
"The boy had been staying at a friend's place since April but after his friend also expressed his helplessness in keeping him at his home any further, he was forced to stay in a park and beg," said a senior police officer.
The boy's mother, an employee in the Ministry of Finance, had separated from her first husband by mutual consent and got the custody of her son. Later, she got married to another man with whom she has two daughters. Her second husband died in 2012 due to liver cirrhosis.
The boy has also alleged that his step-father used to ill-treat him and lock him up.
"He studied till Class VIII in two schools and this year, his mother took him to get admission in an academy in Noida.
He couldn't clear the entrance test and after that his mother disowned him," the official said.
The complainant's mother, meanwhile, said a "false case" had been registered against her.
"If I wasn't giving him food for so many days, how could he have survived? I asked him to move out in April and when he came back, I didn't allow him in," she said.
The mother said that she had "made all attempts" to get him on the right path but "he refused to mend his ways".
"He is a very intelligent boy but he uses his brain in destructive things. I got him admitted to good schools but he would bully students and not report to school. He would go missing for days and we would have no idea about his whereabouts," she said.
"I took him to an academy in Noida to get admission but he didn't write anything in the entrance test. What could I have done?," she asked.
She further alleged that the boy used to beat his younger sisters and had "destroyed" the atmosphere of their house.
"When he was staying with us, I used to ask him to not come home from school when I wasn't there and instead play in the park. He used to beat his sisters. He destroyed the atmosphere at our house," she said.
The boy has been rescued by the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) and taken to a childrens' home and a complaint filed against the mother, police said.

Spanish PM to address Bilderberg Group
Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero will Friday address top world business and political leaders at an annual gathering of an elite international organisation known as the Bilderberg Group, the government said.
Deputy Prime Minister Maria Teresa de la Vega said he will "discusss the crisis the world is going through and the ways to face the challenges which all world economies are facing" at the meeting in the Mediterranean resort of Sitges.
"This year the reunion is being held in Spain, in Sitges, and the group has invited the head of the government because it is the tradition that the head of the government of the country where the meeting is held addresses the participants," she told a news conference following a weekly cabinet meeting.
Zapatero's address to the group comes as Spain is seeking to demonstrate the it can slash its public deficit quickly enough to avoid requiring an international rescue package like the one provided Greece earlier this year.
The group, which takes its name from the Dutch hotel where it held its first meeting in 1954, holds its invitation-only gathering each year at a different location. Last year it was held at a site near Athens.
The meeting at Sitges, an elegant seaside town near Barcelona, began on Thursday at the luxury Dolce Hotel and will wrap up on Sunday.
Past participants of the gathering have included former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher, former US president Bill Clinton, current US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and top officials from IBM and Barclays.

Large-Scale Agricultural Investments under Poor Land Governance Systems: Actors and Institutions in the Case of Zambia

Proposing a conceptual framework adapted from Williamson (1998), and using evidence constituted by expert interviews and focus group discussions, we scrutinize the nature and evolution of the Zambian land governance system, the steps that an investor has to go through in order to attain land and the actors shaping the acquisition process. Shedding light on the acquisition process for land, we find that enforcement of formal rules is currently weak. Depending on how the actors "play the game," land acquisitions can feature aspects of both "land grabs" and of "development opportunities." If customary land is targeted, consultation, displacements and compensations become especially problematic issues. Moreover, we find that the power balance between actors has been altered by the presence of these investors. In particular, local authorities have gained greater power and influence.

ALLEN PARK -- As Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley's attorney attempts to get him out of legal trouble, there is nothing that can be done to avoid NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's impending penalty.
Fairley was arrested twice this offseason and faces a possible league suspension and fine from Goodell. The NFL office has not determined if Fairley will be penalized, but Goodell previously said he could rule before the player's court case was resolved.
Detroit's second-year player said he is more focused on trying to snap a two-game losing streak against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday than Goodell's possible discipline.
"I'm just glad to be out there on the field, working with my teammates, and trying to get these wins together," Fairley said.
A lawyer for Fairley requested on Wednesday that the player be allowed to go through a pre-trial diversion program instead of facing a trial in Alabama.
Fairley was charged with driving under the influence and attempting to elude police following a May 27 arrest. His Baldwin County District Court trial was set to start Wednesday morning, but attorney Sid Harrell instead filed paperwork requesting Fairley attend an anti-DUI course after stipulating to a first-time DUI.
Harrell said he expected a hearing on the request for the pre-trial diversion program to be scheduled sometime in the next two months. Harrell said he expected the hearing to be arranged to accommodate his client's NFL schedule.
"I can't comment on that," Fairley said. "Anything about the case going on because it's still pending. I really can't make any comment."

I can't thank you enough for keeping this blog going and for the lovely and tasty recipes that can be found here.
I absolutely love these muffins, I have twisted the recipe a bit by replacing half a cup of flour and instead adding ground almonds- give it a go!

Thanks very much from England

It does say one tablespoon baking powder. Since there is 1 1/4 cups oatmeal and 1/3 cup Splenda, in addition to 1 cup flour, that doesn't seem like that much to me for more than 2.5 cups dry ingredients in addition to the blueberries. Of course, you're free to make it any way you wish! Glad you enjoyed the revised recipe.Kalynhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-6768463460354758982009-11-09T10:35:25.313-07:002009-11-09T10:35:25.313-07:00just sent the 'anon' msg about the leavene...just sent the 'anon' msg about the leaveners, I hit the button by mistake, I meant to hit the name/ URL.

Don't you think a whole tablespoon is a bit much? I baked these last night, following your recipe to the letter, even though I wondered if I had maybe read the Tablespoon wrong, and maybe you meant a tsp. Reread the recipe and nope, it said T. I read through the comments, and saw all the wonderful comments about the recipe and said "I'll just go for it, what the heck." In went the T of BP. They rose well, they browned great. Upon first smell, they smelled heavenly, the shock when I bit into them was something else altogether. I could taste the chemical leavening as a bitter tangy aftertaste. If you experience the same reaction upon baking these, just back the baking powder down to a tsp and a half. Technically speaking, from a baker's point of view, you should really only use 1 tsp leavener per 1 cup flour to keep a good ratio of gluten/leavener, but since these have blueberries and lemon zest in them you want to add just a bit more because of the acid. Just my take on it. Once I lessened the leavening agent, they were WONDERFUL.

Popped them in the oven before I walked the dog and voila! Fresh muffins. I'm looking for something my daughter can eat on the way to school/summer camp. Too often it turns out to be a toaster pastry or something else sugar laden.

I think where I went wrong was in using oat flour (I couldn't find the whole wheat white) - and it didn't rise. Still tasty, but my 5 year old claimed to not like them after she finished about 90% of one. I loved the oatmeal taste, though! May have to try a cinnamon apple version sometime.

I wonder if the brown sugar splenda would be a good substitute. I'll have to play with them.kymmihttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-43792441999307482712009-07-21T09:52:03.503-06:002009-07-21T09:52:03.503-06:00Karen, glad you liked them and thanks for sharing ...Karen, glad you liked them and thanks for sharing about those substitutions.

Is corporate blogging really on the decline?
According to a recent study, the number of Fortune 500 companies that had blogs stayed flat in 2011 from 2010, while the number of Inc. 500 companies, the fastest-growing private companies in the United States, dropped to 37 per cent from 50 per cent.
"The use of blogging may have peaked as a primary social media tool in the U.S. business world," wrote Nora Barnes, one of the authors of the study called Blogging Declines as New Tools Rule, by the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth.
"The new data shows adoption of blogging is declining for the first time since 2007 among the Inc. 500 companies."
Not surprisingly, the study attracted a lot of attention, including from many people who believe the results may not represent an accurate depiction of the blogging world, given it was focused on a specific number of companies.
As well, the apparent decline of blogging comes at a time when a growing number of brands are embracing content marketing, which involves the creation of value-added content to attract consumers.
Among the key tools for a content- marketing strategy are corporate blogs, which provide a way to deliver thought leadership, domain expertise, information and insight.
For startups and entrepreneurs, blogs can play a valuable role because they offer an opportunity and platform to establish a strong and vibrant industry presence.
As well, blogging can be a cost-effective marketing tool, given most of the costs involved are for the people required to write blog posts.
One of the key benefits of a corporate blog is that companies own and control their blogs. The content created can not only attract potential and existing customers but can be repurposed for other activities, such as newsletters, brochures and other marketing collateral. Blogs also have search engine optimization benefits because engines such as Google like websites that produce a steady flow of fresh content.
Blogs as a corporate "asset" stand in contrast to social media services, such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube.
While many brands have established a strong foothold on these services, they "lease" rather than "own" the digital space. Facebook, for example, could decide to dramatically change how Facebook Pages work, and there would be little a company could do but adapt to the changes. On the other hands, companies control the look, feel and content of their blogs.
For startups and entrepreneurs looking for a cost-effective marketing vehicle, blogs are definitely worth exploring and embracing.
While the University of Massachusetts study may throw cold water on corporate blogging, it should not be taken as a sign that blogging is going out of style.

Damage to Folly Pier piling brings on inspection
By Eric Egan
FOLLY BEACH, S.C. (WCIV) -- Hurricane Irene hammered much of Folly. The pier was no exception. Now the county plans to inspect it.
Now, the Charleston County Parks and Recreation Commission says it's playing it safe by canceling two upcoming events on the Folly Beach Fishing Pier.
In the meantime, it will stay open and that's perfectly fine for the people who use it.
It opened in 1995, and ever since, the Folly pier has been an overwhelming favorite for fishermen. So, any news of it being damaged was not taken lightly.
"When they first started talking about Folly pier I thought no, nothing's wrong with our pier," said Judy Moody. "They can't close it down. We'd have nowhere to go."
Moody says she fishes off the pier three times a week and feels comfortable doing it. The day after Irene swept past the beach, one of the interior pilings on the pier appeared deteriorated.
Playing it safe, the county parks commission has canceled the final two Moonlight Mixers there. The events invite hundreds to dance on the end of the pier at the spot known as the 'Diamond.'
The decision disappointed some, it's fine with Moody.
"That would be fine because there is a crowd on the end when they have those big get-togethers. Out here there's not," she said.
Other seasoned anglers applied their own test.
"Everything seems to be alright," said Michael Pack. "I'm out here and I don't feel any quaking or shivering."
Charleston County says it will hire a structural engineering firm to inspect the walkway from end-to-end, top-to-bottom. Leaders maintain, the pier is a priority and making sure it's strong means a lot to many.
"If they can stabilize it there's a lot to be said about piers for tourists and locals who want to fish. It's a draw," David Barbour said.
The Folly Beach Pier was last inspected in 2002. The process this time could take about six months to complete.
