Here is a sampling of what foundations and others are doing in the important area of oral health care.
Recent reports:
The Cost of Delay: State Dental Policies Fail One in Five Children was released 23 February 2010 by the Pew Center on the States (part of the Pew Charitable Trusts). The report was funded by Pew, the DentaQuest Foundation, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Pew graded the fifty states and the District of Columbia on eight "key performance indicators" (policy solutions), such as providing dental sealant programs in high-risk schools, "fluoridating community water supplies," improving reimbursement rates for dentists under Medicaid, and "authorizing new primary care dental providers." The results of this study? "Two-thirds of states are doing a poor job," Pew says. However, six states were graded A: Connecticut, Iowa, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and South Carolina. Want to find out how your own state did? Fact sheets are available for each state and D.C. See the report's methodology section for data limitations that the researchers encountered.
The report points out that "most low-income children nationwide do not receive basic dental care that can prevent the need for higher-cost treatment [such as fillings and root canals] later." It also mentions that "the consequences of poor dental health among children are far worse—and longer lasting—than most policy makers and the public realize." For example, there are economic consequences, such as the fact that "42 percent of incoming [U.S.] Army recruits had at least one dental condition that needed to be treated before they could be deployed," according to a 2000 study of the U.S. armed forces. And, of course, oral health affects overall health: The report cites a growing amount of research that gum disease "is linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and stroke."
Pew suggests that four solutions to the crisis are "within states' reach." These are school-based sealant programs; water fluoridation; improvements to Medicaid; and innovative workforce models. In its discussion of workforce innovation, the report mentions the Dental Health Aide Therapist (DHAT) training program in Alaska (see p. 34 of the report); the DHAT program's funders include Kellogg, the Rasmuson Foundation (a funder based in Anchorage, Alaska), Bethel Community Services Foundation, and Murdock Charitable Trusts.
In its conclusion, the report emphasizes that poor oral health among low-income kids "is not an intractable problem." A variety of solutions already exist, "they can be achieved at relatively little cost, and the return on investment for children and taxpayers" would be great.
I asked Shelly Gehshan, who heads the Pew Children's Dental Campaign and worked on the report, whether she was optimistic that the passage of the federal health reform legislation will help improve the oral health picture. She told me on 17 May 2010 that the "legislation indeed gives us room for optimism."
She explained,
Pew worked hard with leaders in Congress and the whole oral health community to win some important oral health provisions. Most important to Pew is the guarantee of dental benefits within new plans offered by insurance exchanges, sealant programs for all fifty states, and a program to evaluate new types of dental providers.
Going forward, she said that "Pew is now working in coalition with other groups to ensure that Congress provides funding for these new provisions."
Denti-Cal Facts and Figures (second edition), released 11 May 2010 by the California HealthCare Foundation, discusses Denti-Cal (the fee-for-service dental program of Medi-Cal, which is California's Medicaid program). Many of the data in the report have to do with the financing and organization of services in 2007; in July 2009, most adult dental benefits were eliminated in California because of the state's budget problems. "Children's services, as required by federal law, continue to be delivered" now, the foundation noted in an e-alert.
The report culls information from many sources. Among its key findings are that Denti-Cal reimbursement was "typically lower than reimbursement rates in other states" as of 2008. Another interesting statistic, in this case from the University of California, Los Angeles, is that in that same year, 73 percent of adults in California did "not know that cavities are infectious and can be spread from one person to another."
A Guide to Improving Children's Oral Health Care: Tools for the Head Start Community, a February 2010 "toolkit," was published by the Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) and funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). Written by Sheree Neese-Todd, Bonnie Stanley, and Lauren Marino, this guide was written "to help New Jersey Head Start staff establish dental homes and improve oral health for low-income children ages 0–3." The publication contains a section called "What Is a Dental Home?" as well as a glossary of oral health terms. It is part of an RWJF initiative called New Jersey Smiles: A Medicaid Quality Collaborative to Improve Oral Health in Young Kids. Funding for the initial grant period (eighteen months) has ended; however, "the Collaborative is exploring additional funding to sustain and build upon the effort," a CHCS spokesperson told me on 17 May 2010.
Reimbursing Medical Providers for Preventive Oral Health Services: State Policy Options, by Carrie Hanlon, was published by the National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) in February 2010. The Pew Charitable Trusts funded the publication. The NASHP Web site states that "many state Medicaid agencies are working to increase children's access to preventive oral health services by reimbursing primary care medical providers for fluoride varnish application, an oral examination or screening, and/or caregiver education about establishing good oral health habits." This publication focuses on five states' experiences "to help states considering adopting similar policies."
Recent grant making:
The Caring for Colorado Foundation, in Denver, announced in fall 2009 that it had awarded approximately $100,000 to each of five grantees in Colorado. These grants are part of its ten-year, $10-million Oral Health Improvement Project, which aims "to increase access to oral health services for the underserved statewide," according to a press release. Specifically, the grants "help increase the long-term capacity of the oral-health safety net and target oral disease prevention in children." Click here for details of the foundation's newest oral health RFP—the deadline is 25 June 2010.
The DentaQuest Foundation, a national funder located in Boston, announced that it had made "a major investment to improve oral health literacy and close the disparities gap among children and youth in Maryland," according to a January 2010 press release. One grant, for $331,343, went to the University of Maryland for a statewide oral health literacy and awareness campaign. The university will conduct a survey of parents and health care providers, including physicians and dentists. The other grant, for $202,886, for the development of the Maryland Dental Action Coalition, was awarded to the Maryland State Dental Association Charitable and Educational Foundation (as a fiscal agent). This coalition will implement an oral health literacy plan throughout Maryland. Both grants fund a strategy for raising awareness about oral health, particularly within low-income groups and communities of color.
In addition, the DentaQuest Foundation awarded a grant to the Deamonte Driver Dental Project. Deamonte was a twelve-year-old boy in Maryland who became widely known after he died in 2007 as a result of an abscessed tooth; bacteria from the infection had spread into his brain. Read a Washington Post article about Deamonte and the problems that many children covered by Medicaid have in gaining access to oral health care.
A February 2010 press release discusses the DentaQuest Foundation's funding of work in Florida. The foundation's eligibility requirements for receiving funding are described here.
Interested in what the DentaQuest Foundation has learned over a number of years, so you can avoid "reinventing the wheel"? Read its Lessons Learned from Eight Years of Oral Health Grantmaking (May 2009).
The United Hospital Fund recently awarded a $53,000 grant to New York University College of Dentistry "to develop and evaluate a community-clinic referral model that aims to increase" prevention and treatment of oral disease among older adults, according to an April 2010 press release. "Older adults have the lowest rate of dental visits of all adults over [age] 18 and face barriers to oral health care services—such as Medicare's lack of dental care coverage, inadequate transportation, and a perception that the services are not needed by the older population," the release explains. Read about the grantee here. The United Hospital Fund "is a health services research and philanthropic organization whose mission is to shape positive change in health care for the people of New York." More information is also available here, on NYU's Web site.

Too many veterans stay in Maine homeless shelters. Others sleep in abandoned buildings or in the woods because they have no home. They are this nation's forgotten heroes – the men and women who once proudly served in a military uniform. Yet many will experience the ravages of homelessness.
Ending Homelessness Among Veterans
Preble Street Veterans Housing Services (VHS) assists low-income veterans and their families to find and maintain stable housing works to end homelessness among veterans throughout Maine.
VHS Goals
- House veteran families.
- Prevent homelessness for veteran families who are low income and at risk of homelessness.
- Provide case management needed to maintain stable housing.
Knowing that success depends on public and private partnerships and compassionate communities, the VHS program is a collaborative effort of Preble Street with the City of Portland Social Services and Pine Tree Legal Assistance, funded by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs' Supportive Services for Veteran Families.
Preble Street staff do outreach throughout Maine to engage struggling veterans and help them navigate the range of VA benefits while the City of Portland's Housing Prevention and Rapid Response (HPRP) works with landlords to help those on the verge of losing housing as well as place the homeless in housing with support from Preble Street case managers.
Offering Increased Opportunities for Veterans
VHS connects low-income veteran families to affordable housing and provides the services and supports needed to maintain housing which may include direct financial assistance for security deposits, first month's rent, and utility connection fees that are frequent obstacles to obtaining housing.
Veterans have answered the call to serve our nation in a way few Americans ever will, and they deserve the full measure of our support.
Services Provided
- Housing search and placement
- Case management
- Budget counseling
- Information and referral for entitlements, VA benefits and programs
- Outreach
- Limited financial assistance
General Eligibility Guidelines
- Veteran status: The head of household or the spouse of the head of household must have been in active military service. They must be able to obtain a DD 214, and cannot have a dishonorable discharge.
- Housing Status: The family must be literally homeless – living in a shelter or someplace not meant for habitation – or be at imminent risk of losing their housing.
- Income: A family's annual income cannot be more than 50% of the Area Median Income.
Our Partners
Veterans Housing Services is a partnership between Preble Street, The City of Portland Social Services, and Pine Tree Legal Assistance that is funded by the U.S. Veterans Administration.

Asian publications come to terms with the digital era
Optimism and expectation were the main sentiments from the 4th Digital Media Asia 2012 organised by WAN-IFRA in Kuala Lumpur. It seems that Asian publishers are assimilating changes and assigning due importance for online ventures even as print still holds sway.
The likes of Star Media in Malaysia and Singapore Press Holding are exemplars of how the Asian media industry is embracing technology and adapting to new realities.
We had a dream that "every Malaysian will have at least one Star product on his home screen," said Wong Siah Ping, chief operating officer for the digital business at Star Publications. Based on this premise the media entity developed a strategy for print, online and mobile devices, but not forgetting that each platform comes with its own experience and characteristics.
For the Business section, they developed an app that allows users to stay informed with the latest news, stock prices and update notifications from companies.
Wong Siah also suggested using iSnap for the print edition; it will bring a "newspaper to life" through augmented reality technology. It allows users to watch videos, picture galleries and other features by hovering a smartphone over any page, article or advertisement in the print edition which carry the iSnap logo.
Another important tidbit came from Johnson Goh, vice-president for strategic marketing at Singapore Press Holding's Online Classifieds. He said: "If you are strong in print media, don't make the mistake to ignore other media platforms." Some publishers did not anticipate the print decline early enough to commit investments to online.
When the subject is web responsive design, Grig Davidovitz, CEO of RGB Media Inc, believes it's not enough to deliver content in modules that adapt automatically according to the platform. Each platform has a news experience and it should be free to create information packages with flexible templates.
The problem is that many websites have a fixed template that cannot change. According to Davidovitz, every article in the news stream should get a template suited to its needs and let the editors free to choose the best way to present the news. Readers wanted news organisations to display less content in order to highlight the essential information.
Paid content or not? The question still persist but one thing is sure — consumers pay for valuable and quality content. Payments are not easy to come by if you are not New York Times.
But imagine if all media publishers in a country unite with one objective: to charge for the content. You will not leave many options for the reader. It's exactly what Piano Media did by creating a cable TV subscription model adapted to news media for major media outlets from Slovakia, Slovenia and Poland.
Words like "data'', "premium" and ''engagement" were used in nearly all the presentations. With data it is possible to create a premium content. Publishers need to understand how their audiences are consuming their content on multiple platforms and the engagement with the product need not only be with audiences but with advertisers as well.
According to Dr. Mario Garcia, founder and CEO of Garcia Media, "The tablet is here to stay… if you don't have a tablet presence yet, this is a good time to start. Finally, if you are in a career transition — or feel that your print background sets you back — let this seminar be the start of your re-invention.
"Don't lament what was. Celebrate what is."
News designing in the Middle East
The Society for News Design - Middle East and Africa hosted the first news design competition for newspapers and magazines in the region. Publications need to submit their best designed pages in various categories such as the best front page and cover, best news page, etc.
The competition has no entry fee and all publishing houses are invited to participate. The entry should be submitted in pdf format only and the deadline is December 10.
For more information about the competition, visit http://www.snd20events.com/contest/

The problem in the West we think home we think big.. we think of more and excess and the "we can't live without items". But then again how many of those items can you really live without?
Once you have an idea of reduction you have a step forward in the way your container home can be.
Here you can see the bed, small steps and side table alongside a wardrobe. Maximising the width of a small space. Underneath the bed is the storage space which is ideal for those with luggage and I can see this being used in things like modular hotel systems.
Combining wash and cooking facilities into one reduces space drastically as generally we are doing one or the other so makes sense. At the same time strongly advise good earthing (ground) to reduce risk of electrocution.
You have to remember you may be losing some of the worldly goods of excess inside but you are gaining the environment on the outside allowing living spaces such as gardens and views over a concrete jungle.

Republicans Consider Welcoming People Who Believe in Math and Science
Posted by Andy Borowitz
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Opting for a bold big tent strategy to rebuild the party, Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, told reporters today, We need to welcome people who believe in different things than we do, like math and science.
After disappointing results in Tuesdays election, Mr. Priebus said that it was time for Republicans to become more tolerant of those with a math-and-science lifestyle.
Just because we dont believe in those things doesnt mean we cant get along with people who do, he said. We want to send this message: math and science Americans are Americans, too.
In the biggest departure from its previous electoral strategy, Mr. Priebus said, the Republican Party is even considering trying to appeal to women.
I read recently that women are as much as fifty-one per cent of the population, he said. That number sounded crazy high to me, but maybe one of our new math Republicans can check on it for us.

Foggathorpe is a village and civil parish on the A163 road in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The village is situated approximately 9 miles (14 km) east of Selby and 8 miles (13 km) west of Market Weighton.
According to the 2011 UK census, Foggathorpe parish had a population of 313, an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 233.
Historically, Foggathorpe was in the ecclesiastical parish of Bubwith in the wapentake of Harthill. From 1894 until 1974, Foggathorpe was located in Howden Rural District. In 1935 Foggathorpe absorbed the neighbouring parishes of Laytham, Harlthorpe and Gribthorpe. The geographical locations of the four parishes can be discerned from inspecting the Ordnance Survey maps referenced below.
In 1974 most of what had been the East Riding of Yorkshire was joined with the northern part of Lincolnshire to became a new English county named Humberside. The urban and rural districts of the former counties were abolished and Humberside was divided into non-metropolitan districts. The new organization did not meet with the pleasure of the local citizenry and Humberside was wound up in 1996. The area north of the River Humber was separated into two "unitary authorities"—Kingston-upon-Hull covering the former City of Hull and its closest environs, and the less urban section which, once again, named itself the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Social and Economic Anthropology
Ph.D., Temple University
Email: email@example.com
Curriculum Vitae
As a socio-cultural economic anthropologist I am broadly interested in how households adapt to changing economic context. My primary field site is Mexico with additional work among Mexican immigrant households in the United States. I have also carried out field work in Bolivia and Ecuador. Most recently I have carried out research on how households and individuals within households react to and adjust to extreme events such as earthquakes, floods and hurricanes. My focus is on how social networks interact with culture to guide the recovery process. I am currently involved in a research project to study long term grief and the meaning of recovery among parents and caretakers of children killed and injured in a fire that destroyed a day care center in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. I am also interested in the relationship between theory and method in soci-cultural Anthropology.
My current project is in the city of Hermosillo, Sonora Mexico. The focus of the project is a study of long term grief and recovery among the parents and caregivers of children injured and killed in a day care center fire. I am particularly interested in how the social network an individual or household is a member of helps them to give meaning to the event in their lives. A salient factor in this research is the idea of Justice and how different groups define justice as they develop strategies for moving forward with their lives. This project is in collaboration with the Centro de Investigacion en Alimentacion y Desarrollo, Hermosillo, Sonora and is supported by the National Institutes of Mental Health.

HARKER HEIGHTS — Firefighters responded to an early morning fire Friday at a home in the 4000 block of Quail Hollow Road.
Upon arrival, firefighters found a single-wide mobile home with smoke and flames showing from the back half of the structure.
Driver/operator Walter Elvidge, first on the scene and in command, proceeded on fast-attack mode due to possible entrapment, according to a news release.
Neighbor Brandy L. Crawford said the house was on fire and burning "ferociously," when crews arrived about 6 a.m.
"You could see the flames flickering intensely through all the windows, the smoke cloud was very dark and thick," she said. "There was a slight breeze that pushed the thick smoke to the left of the trailer, which covered the neighboring trailer and made its way partially up above the brick house next to it."
Crawford said she heard what sounded like the firefighters soaking the neighboring trailers with water to help prevent future fires.
"It got pretty hot, it burnt some of the trees up there," said Lyle Sparrow, a neighborhood resident.
A few minutes after making entry, firefighters had to back out of the structure due to intense heat, abandoning a search for victims upon learning from neighbors and the Harker Heights Police Department that the structure was unoccupied.
Sparrow said an older man lived there with three dogs.
The man's family, he said, lived across the street.
Sparrow said he was sure the man was not in the house, but he was not sure if the dogs made it out.
The single-wide mobile home was in compliance with building codes, and the fire did not spread to nearby structures.
The fire was under control by 6:50 a.m.
Sixteen firefighters fought the blaze, 11 from Harker Heights and five from Killeen.
Heights Deputy Chief Brad Alley is conducting an investigation into the fire's cause.

Rick Springfield to Tour With Night Ranger, Loverboy + More
Some of the biggest names in early-'80s rock will be touring together this summer.
Some of the biggest names in early-'80s rock will be touring together this summer.
Loverboy have released their first new song since 2014's 'Unfinished Business.'
Loverboy perfected a multi-platinum formula with its first three albums, each of which cracked the Top 20 in the U.S. as well as the band's native Canada. With their fourth release, 1985's Lovin' Every Minute of It, they changed things up.
Mike Reno of Loverboy admits that his "Working for the Weekend" philosophy may be wrong in new commercial.
Loverboy, Rick Springfield and the Romantics have announced a joint tour that will begin in late summer and continue through September.
We've all seen the cover of Loverboy's 1981 album 'Get Lucky.'
'Unfinished Business' is the band's first collection of previously unreleased material in seven years.
Loverboy's 'Working for the Weekend' and Twisted Sister singer Dee Snider are among the '80s stars leading an attack on a Radio Shack store in a new Super Bowl commercial.
Classic rock is about heavy hooks, power chords and tight harmonies. But it's also about letting loose and enjoying the good times. And there's no better time for that than Friday evening, when we pick up our paycheck, punch out of work and enjoy a couple days of much-needed rest and relaxation.
As Loverboy get ready to release their latest album 'Rock 'N' Roll Revival' later this month, they're keeping quite busy summer on an extensive summer tour opening for Journey and Pat Benatar. The new album from the Canadian rockers, due out Aug. 14, mixes new material (including two songs produced by Bob Rock) with fresh takes of nine classics from their catalog of hits, recorded live on stage.

Conductance Measurement of Water-sorbed Activated Carbon
Badri, M. and Crouse, Karen Anne and Awang, Harun (1984) Conductance Measurement of Water-sorbed Activated Carbon. Pertanika, 7 (3). pp. 59-65.
The conductance of a piece of I1ctivated carbon has been measured while immersed under water at five different temperatures. The change in conductance with time has been attributed to the ionization of the functional groups on the walls of the pores as the latter were gradually filled. The average pore radius has been estimated by using the equations derived to relate the increase in the conductance to the rate of flow of water into the pores.

I've never known a people to value freedom more than the Indians. Freedom from queues, freedom from seat belts, freedom from placing their seat backs and tray tables into the full upright position, freedom from listening to any warning about remaining in the seat during takeoff and landing, about not using the toilet at a certain time, freedom from obeying any luggage restrictions or warnings about using mobile phones.
Yeah, the mobile phones: I dreamt of a new kind of warning. Instead of the clearly too subtle, "using mobile phones may interfere with the plane's equipment," I heard the PA system issue the unequivocal notice: "If you use your mobile phone to make that one last call there's a high chance that it'll scramble the pilot's controls and we'll all plummet into the ground and die a horrible burning death and it will be all your fault." Personally, I'm yet to be convinced of precisely what mobile phones actually do to the plane's controls but as far as I'm concerned:
1) The warning exists.2) Someone has seen fit to bring it into existence. 3) These people clearly have a reason to do so and…4) It doesn't hurt to obey it.
But this is the difference between me and the average Indian. It seems to genuinely hurt them to obey the rules, as if their liberty is being trampled on from a great height. It hurts to obey the rules which in all likelihood are there to make everyone's life easier . These Indians just can't seem to help themselves.
Of course I've known about all this for a long time now, but it hit me like an epiphany on an early morning flight from Bangalore to Delhi. Maybe it was the lack of sleep and the very early start which reduced my tolerance, but every single person around me seemed to be pathologically incapable of doing what they were told.
So it started in the departure lounge. Highly educated, urbane, technologically adept young men sporting mobile phone headsets and carrying laptops, elegant and no doubt morally upright women, mothers, fathers, children, brothers, wives, sons, sisters, aunts and uncles, human beings – all transforming into desperados before my eyes, desperate to get that one inch closer to the departure gate when the flight was announced, bringing out their well trained and sharpened elbows to wedge into that mythical spot just ahead, some vague and opaque and presumably ancient fear blossoming in their collective minds that told them against all reason and logic that maybe if they don't get on the plane RIGHT NOW, even though it has only just been announced for boarding and isn't going anywhere for at least another forty-five minutes, then the plane might leave them behind and they will be stranded. Once the initial scramble to get to the front dies down and some sort of line system forms, the next stage of pushing begins, the war of attrition, where shuffled little steps and slow shoulder and elbow work are employed to guarantee that at least no one gets past you. It's a full-time job. Maybe they should make it a national sport.
Once on board, the crew stresses repeatedly that passengers should sit in the seats assigned to them. There' s a kind of forlorn look on their faces now. It seems clear that no one, and I mean no one, should tell these people where they ought to sit. I couldn't help laughing when two men, doctor types, who were probably used to the 'best', demanded to speak to the manager when they didn't like their seats.
And then there's the luggage. Bags the size of baby elephants are carried on as hand luggage. I cry inside… how come I had to check in my bag when someone with a bag twice the size breezes by? What happened to the rules? Why didn't the people at the counter stop them? Because they are in on it too, that's why. I tell myself that if no one obeys the rules then everything is possible and all hell will break loose. Doesn't anyone care about the rules!? People hold their bags in their laps when they should go above. Everyone pulls out their mobiles and starts to talk on them. We are taking off and someone casually unbuckles to go to the toilet. I tell myself that maybe it's because they're not used to it. In a bus or a train no one has this many rules. (They do in England – buses now have seatbelts you are legally obliged to wear. Can you imagine? Be warned.) People sleep on the floor in the middle of the aisle here. No one is going to tell anyone what to do.
The coup de grace comes on landing. As soon as the plane touches down there is the sychronised click of one hundred seat belts being removed. I'm genuinely surprised it took that long. But listen people. Where do you think a seatbelt is more likely to help you? When the plane is in the air, or when it's careening along the runway at who knows what speed and has yet to come to a halt? Think about it.
When there's some slight change in the engine noise which maybe signifies some kind of impending halt, a man jumps up from his seat to open the overhead locker and grab his bag. It will still be five minutes before he can go anywhere. I watch him in slow motion. For some reason, his features are now permanently etched in my mind, his bouffant hair and slick moustache, his cheap shirt that was maybe very expensive. What I remember most is the look in his eyes. He furtively glanced around to check the coast was clear. Then suddenly, determined… he was going to do it, he was clear in his mind, he knew why he had stood up. He was going to be the first on the plane to retrieve his luggage! He had succeeded! VICTORY! And as soon as this look came about his face (and everyone else had time to register it) almost every other passenger on the plane jumped up too, and scrambled for their luggage, and the whole place fell apart. On any other country's airline there would be one or two people trying this on (probably Indians) and they would be shot down by the stewards and every other passenger (probably English) would smile a quiet and smug smile and nod their heads gently in approval… "quite right". But here the stewards do nothing. What can they do in the face of the mob and their demand for complete freedom? I slap my forehead in astonishment. It' s like there' s some in-built, hardwired and highly refined sense of absolute and pointless disobedience in every Indian's brain. Yes, no people love freedom more than the Indians.

Apple and Oracle Cooperating on Java for Mac OS
Apple and Oracle are now cooperating to bring Java back to the Mac OSX operating system. Even though Apple has stopped using Java on new versions of Mac OSX it is working with Oracle to make future versions of Mac OSX accessible to Java.
Business software giant Oracle and Apple have announced that they are working together in something called the Open JDK Project. The Open JDK Project is apparently an attempt to develop an open source version the Java Platform Standard Edition.
Apple has or will apparently make the source code that would let JDK's developers integrate their project into Mac OSX available to the Open JDK Project. Since the Project is apparently run by or connected with Oracle this would make Oracle software accessible to Mac.
There is no word on whether this will lead to Oracle products being available from the Mac App Store. Apple is supposedly developing a Mac App Store where customers can buy and download popular software.
Since Oracle sells mostly to business clients this may not be a likely scenario but you never know. One possibility is that Oracle products could be made available through the Mac App Store to businesses that use the Mac.
One interesting dilemma facing many IT departments is that many companies have a few employees that use Macs. This can create headaches because the majority of users at the same company use Windows.
Apple and Oracle could be trying to solve this or at least make it easier for Mac users to access the Oracle products. Oracle is the dominant specialty software provider in a number of businesses including the financial and accounting sectors.
Another possibility is that Oracle could be developing a line of products for small business people and those who work at home. A growing segment of the market in the United States is employees who do their jobs from home via computer. Many of these individuals need access to company systems many of which run on Oracle products.
Quite a few American companies are pushing work at home because it reduces costs. Oracle and Mac could be planning on an App Store for business users to tap into this growing market.

UPDATE: Veteran LHP Erik Bedard signed to minor-league deal
UPDATE, 8:52: The deal is now official, and Bedard is expected in Rays camp today. The roster is now at 64.
DEVELOPING: The Rays are likely to sign veteran LHP Erik Bedard to a minor-league deal with an invite to camp.
Bedard is 34, a veteran of 10 big-league seasons, though without much success lately.
He was 7-14, 5.01 in 2012 for the Pirates, then 4-12, 4.50 for the Astros last year. That came after a 5-9, 3.62 2011 season split between Seattle and Boston. Overall, Bedard has not had a winning record since 2009.
But with RHP Jeremy Hellickson sidelined into at least mid-May following Jan. 29 elbow surgery, and only young and inexperienced candidates to replace him, the Rays are seeking to build depth among their starters.

In recent months, Farm and Garden Supplies have been preparing for the festive season, by introducing a range of unique gifts to solve the ever-present crisis of what to get so-and-so for Christmas?

The business has recently launched their wild bird section, which includes bird food of the highest quality, tables, nesting boxes and feeders.
However, the main part of their business will always be in Farm and Garden Supplies.

When Ryan Zimmerman complained to reporters about the official scorer giving him an error on a ninth-inning throw in Friday night's 6-5 extra-inning win by the Washington Nationals over the San Diego Padres, he didn't mention Mike Schmidt. He didn't use George Brett or Chipper Jones to make his point.
He named Brooks Robinson.
"I would never complain about a play, but that's not an error," Zimmerman told The Washington Post. "I don't know if they have Brooks Robinson as a scorekeeper here or what."
You can parade around Mike Schmidt's 500 home runs all you want. You can cite George Brett's .390 batting average in 1980 and his 3,000 hits. Go ahead and make your case for the switch-hitting Chipper Jones.
Robinson remains the standard by which everything that happens around third base is measured - 36 years after he retired.
The day after Zimmerman used Robinson to make his point about an issue with the error he was charged, Robinson celebrated his 76th birthday.
Happy birthday, Brooks. Your name is still spoken in baseball clubhouses by players who were born seven years after you stopped playing.
You can debate who the greatest center fielder was - Willie Mays, Joe DiMaggio or Ken Griffey Jr. You can argue who the greatest shortstop ever was - Ozzie Smith, Honus Wagner, Cal Ripken. Catcher? I'll take Johnny Bench, you take Mike Piazza.
No other position on the diamond is defined by one player as much as third base is by Robinson.
Gold gloves? Robinson had 16 straight, the most of any player in the history of the game, tied with pitcher Jim Kaat. He made 18 All-Star teams - 15 of those consecutively - during his 23 seasons with the Baltimore Orioles. There is not one but two statues of Robinson in Baltimore.
This is something that goes beyond resume, statistics and accomplishments.
If Abbott and Costello were have to written the classic "Who's on First" comedy skit decades later, "I don't know" would not have been at third base.
Robinson would have been at third.
In 2011, some ESPN geek with a slide rule and a protractor listed the top six third baseman in the history of the game. In order, he listed Schmidt, Jones, Eddie Matthew, Brett and Wade Boggs. Sixth was Brooks Robinson.
He cited his weaker offensive numbers than the others, and this, of course: "He didn't walk much, leaving his on-base percentage nearly 100 points less than Wade Boggs', for example. But he was an amazingly durable player, a great teammate and a key member of some of the greatest teams of all time."
Durable. Great teammate.
This is beyond arguing who the greatest third baseman was. This is the very identity of the position, and there is no argument over that.
Third base is Brooks Robinson.

Greenwood Village, CO, United States, 2012/07/27 - Cibers State and Local division that supports systems for the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program run by the U.S. Food & Nutrition Service (FNS) has earned acclaim from the Utah Public Health Association (UPHA) - CIBER.com. NYSE: CBR
John Booth, a Ciber project manager, was awarded UPHAs Hero Award for leading a Ciber team that implemented a new statewide information system. The software automates various WIC clinic functions and agency compliance with government reporting requirements.
While the process of moving to a new WIC information system is long and arduous, the relationship we have developed and the support we receive from Ciber has been terrific, said Chris Furner, Utah WIC director. The fact that our local agencies presented Ciber with a Utah Public Health Association Award speaks volumes to me about the positive working relationship they also have with Ciber. I appreciate their professional staff who have supported us throughout our project.
Specifically, Ciber designed, constructed, and implemented Utahs portion of a larger IT project for FNS, which is a division within the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This newest system is the second of three national State Agency Model (SAM) systems to provide highly-configurable, full-featured computing power that enables state agencies to administer programs and deliver benefits to WIC program participants cost-effectively.
WIC provides food, counseling, education and medical care referrals to help low-income expectant or new moms, their infants and their children up to age five maintain health-supporting nutrition. A federally funded program, WIC is administered in states, territories and Native American tribal lands by 90 different agencies. Given the diversity of these agencies, the WIC SAM project supports federal government goals of building one system and replicating it nationwide.
Ciber has been involved in this initiative since 2006, and the company has taken a pivotal role in working with the Mountain Plains State Consortium, a three-state group consisting of IT experts from Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. The Consortium was empowered by FNS to create a model system as part of WIC SAM, and several requirements guided system development, including Web-enabled technology, standard data elements, open system architecture, modular components from which states can pick and choose, as well as regulatory compliance. The system Ciber has built enables agencies to automate functions such as participant enrollment, appointment scheduling, record-keeping, as well as financial, vendor, caseload and inventory management. Along with enhancing service and reducing paperwork, Cibers systems improve reporting and reduce fraud.
Just as WIC SAM systems will help agencies run efficiently and save state governments money in the long run, WIC itself is a money-saver for the nation. Studies show that the program, which began in 1974, results in fewer premature births, lower incident of low-birth-weight infants and fewer infant deaths. Ultimately, each dollar spent on WIC delivers as much as $3.13 in savings on healthcare costs during the first 60 days after birth.
Booth, who received the Hero Award, said that working on systems to help WIC operate efficiently is a reward in itself. Still, he was pleased with the UHPA honor. Ciber is committed to being client focused and results driven and so it is a great honor to be recognized by a client for the work we have done for them. It means a lot to me, my team and my company, Booth said. I am very grateful.

Nothing—not cold, fog, or flu—could dampen the excitement UM students felt on a six-week odyssey through China and Vietnam to study water resources and policy with professor of coastal management and environmental law Daniel Suman. Combining environmental research, cultural immersion, and classroom credit, Suman, of the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, launched the exchange two summers ago, subsidized by a grant from the International Programs Offices of the ACC University Consortium.
With this course, Panamaborn
Suman, whose grandfather
was Chinese, is forging strong
ties with prestigious academic
institutions in those countries
while establishing sustainable water management plans for the
region and training future leaders to protect global water resources.
There is no substitute for seeing "polluted lakes and rivers with your own eyes," said UM senior Alexandra Sabater. "No description can accurately convey the pea-soup consistency of water that seems to have been invaded by the contents of a giant jar of green finger paint!"
In addition to attending lectures at Vietnam's Hanoi University of Mining and Geology and Yunnan University's Asian International Rivers Centre in China, the 20 undergraduates traveled with an equal number of Chinese and Vietnamese students to important water resource sites and cultural landmarks. In Vietnam they saw the Red River, the Ha Long Bay World Heritage Site, a water treatment plant, a mangrove restoration site, and fish and shrimp aquaculture ponds. In China they visited wastewater treatment plants and reconstructed wetland sites, biked along the restored banks of the Palong River, and even climbed a glacier.
"No longer will I have to rely on books, the media, or other people's stories to have insight into the Chinese and Vietnamese cultures," said student Marlena Skrobe. "I can finally say that I know firsthand what these countries are like. I loved every minute of it."

Debit Card users bewareMercury_Glitch Oct 4, 2014 8:15 PM
I had two different customers who used a debit card with their Nook come in today.
The first was a N1E, they had had their old card stolen and needed help updating. I thought this wouldn't be an issue, it's something we do in the store on a semi-regular basis for customers. So we login to her account, remove the old card, and add the new one. Then I tried to download a book she'd purchased which had caused her trip to the store. It did not download. I checked and made sure the Nook was on the same account we'd just modified. Made sure the card had actually updated on the website. Then I made a mistake given what was to come, I reset her Nook. I thought it was a device issue. We've seen it happen from time to time with the N1Es. However after she logged in to the -same- account (all the books were 'seen') none of the books were downloadable. I called store support, and they told me there was no payment information registered to the account and that B&N did not accept pre-paid or debit cards.
I very nearly exploded on the CS rep. I've had a NST, NSTG, and NGL since they launched. I've used a debit card on -ALL- of those Nooks with out issue. I asked when the policy had changed to include debit cards only to be 'informed' that that had always been the policy (news to me and I've been with B&N since before we started selling the Nook).
I apologized to the woman who was now without any of her ebooks, she was very understanding and reassured me she thought I had done my best and that she did not blame me. We were both baffled by this policy. She did not have a credit card, never had, and had never seen the need. After all her debit card works like a credit card -EVERYWHERE- including B&N brick and mortar stores and BN.com.
I let a manager know about the oddity, and what the CS rep had said. I was almost willing to pass it off as a very odd fluke. Until a second woman come in with her NSTG. Her card had expired and she'd updated the information on her own but was having issues downloading. I asked if it was a debit card and sure enough it was. I told her what I'd been told before and what we'd gone through. Luckily she had a credit card, just not with her.
I haven't tried to purchase any new books since I ordered my Kobo Aura H20 (I don't really see the point I've got books I haven't read on my NGL and I know I'll switch devices as soon as my Kobo H20 arrives) so I don't know if this affects me or not. I also don't know if it -only- affects customers who are adding or updating their cards. I'm holding on to a very slim sliver of hope that it's two crazy unrelated issues.
However if it's a tightening of how they handle things I really can not wait for my Kobo to get here. I want to find the person who is responsible for this and ask them how in the world they think it's a good idea on top of the website downloading issues.

Four Businesses Closed Over New Massage Parlor Ordinance
A new ordinance on the books isn't winning over people breaking the law.
Four businesses have been shut down since Tulsa's new massage parlor ordinance took effect, including Miss Saigon. The number of citations issued since the new ordinance went into effect can be found here in municipal court. So far the number is 25 tickets.
The latest incident at this Tulsa motel. Police say two women, 48-year old Althea McLemore and 27-year old Chelsea Gomez offered more than massages. Both were arrested for operating without a massage license and soliciting a lewd act or prostitution.
"There's a small number of people out there who say why are you wasting our resources out there, like I said before this isn't just one little crime this is a crime that encompasses lots of different things."
They're crimes police say are all associated with prostitution and the things that go might go on in massage parlors.
"Narcotics use, property crimes, burglary, fraud, human trafficking, abuse, rape."
But catching those responsible isn't easy. Police say it's in part because these businesses move around.

Heart Healthy
Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol and rich in fruits, vegetables and grain products that contain some types of dietary fiber, particularly soluble fiber, may reduce risk of heart disease, and disease associated with many factors.
We're Different from the Rest
Hodgson Mill Oat Bran Cereal is made from top-quality oats grown in America's heartland. The oats are milled to remove the fibrous coat, or bran layer, from the rest of the kernel. This bran contains a high level of Soluble Fiber, demonstrated to help reduce cholesterol and contribute to heart health as well as having a beneficial effect on blood sugar.
The superior flavor and texture of our Oat Bran Cereal results from the deliberate milling process used by Hodgson Mill to produce the bran. The end result is 100% oat bran, with no fillers or other additives.

Hot steamy breakfast
I must admit i have a fetish for oats and tried a lot of different kinds. This is very good, both taste and nutritional profile. Filled with loads of fiber and it is very hearty and thick. Sweeten with some splenda and you can give the starbucks/mac's oatmeal the boot. :D Recommended!

I bought this in hopes of getting a flavorful hot cereal. This is not it. It is lower in calories than most hot cereals I've found however the blandness of this cereal got to me. Unfortunately, I bought two boxes of this so I will have to get creative on what to do with it.
Great product
Posted by iHerb Customer on Mar 15, 2014 | Verified Purchase
I really love the taste of oat bran added to recipes. Instead of just using it to make muffins, I use it to replace half of the oatmeal called for in cookies, pancake, and bread recipes.

Increasing Weight to Normal Conditions
I am 26 yaers old. My weight is 45kgs. How can I incease my weight?
It would be important to know your height to determine what your weight should be. Stop smoking if you are smoking. Check with your doctor to be sure you do not have a thyroid problem or some other cause of low weight. If all is normal, a consultation with a nutritionist who could review what you are currently eating and make recommendations on what to add would be of help.

Found solution!. Recently I've discovered that my account belongs to the power users group, so I've managed to create a limited account named postgres which runs initdb.exe with no problems. Thank you all guys for your support. Here is a summary of the steps: 1. Download postgres-8.0.1 sources. 2. Download and install MinGW an MSYS 3. Open msys.exe and cd to postgresql source dir 3. Do configure --without-zlib 4. Do make install 5. Move created /usr/local/pgsql to final destination, i.e. D:\PostgreSQL 6. Included D:\PostgreSQL\lib and D:\PostgreSQL\bin to PATH variable 7. Added limited account "postgres" with corresponding password 8. Open cmd.exe under postgres, i.e. runas /user:DOMAIN\postgres cmd 9. Execute initdb -D D:\PostgreSQL\data -W -E LATIN1 10.

AMD and Creative Assembly Collaborate to Deliver the Ultimate "Alien: Isolation(TM)" Experience
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/23/14 -- AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced a new technology partnership with Creative Assembly, developer behind the highly-anticipated "Alien: Isolation�." Developed in conjunction with the AMD Gaming Evolved program, "Alien: Isolation" is fully optimized for a premium PC gaming experience, including native support for: AMD Eyefinity technology, 4K UltraHD, AMD CrossFire� multi-GPU technology, and a wide range of DirectX® 11 effects tuned for the Graphics Core Next architecture in recent AMD Radeon� GPUs and AMD Accelerated Processing Units.
"The AMD Gaming Evolved program is committed to making games look great and run well for all PC gamers," said Ritche Corpus, director of ISV Gaming and Alliances, AMD. "By working with truly talented developers like Creative Assembly, we deliver on that commitment with fun and beautiful games like 'Alien: Isolation,' which give PC gamers the high-end technology they deserve." Players will discover the true meaning of fear in "Alien: Isolation," a survival horror set in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger. Fifteen years after the events of the "Alien�" motion picture, Ellen Ripley's daughter Amanda enters a desperate battle for survival, on a mission to unravel the truth behind her mother's disappearance. As Amanda, players will navigate through an increasingly volatile world confronted on all sides by a panicked, desperate population and an unpredictable, ruthless Alien. Underpowered and underprepared, players must scavenge resources, improvise solutions and use their wits, not just to succeed in their mission, but to simply stay alive.
"'Alien: Isolation' is a game that plunges players into a haunting, terrifying atmosphere," said Clive Gratton, Lead Programmer, Creative Assembly. "The visual experience plays such a fundamental role in the 'feel' of the game that we went the extra mile to craft an in-house engine that fully articulates our vision. AMD has graciously helped us augment that engine for the PC with a number of effects, such as contact-hardening shadows, compute-based particles, HDAO and DirectX 11 tessellation. Support for immersion and performance technologies like AMD Eyefinity and CrossFire technologies make the whole PC experience even better!" Gamers looking to try the rich graphics and terrifying environments of "Alien: Isolation" for themselves can secure a complimentary copy by purchasing an eligible AMD Radeon� R9 Series graphics card from a retailer participating in the new Never Settle: Space Edition promotion beginning Sept. 2, 2014.

Not long to go now until half term, the knight in shining armour that comes to the rescue of parents and children in the midst of a busy first term back to school. Throw Halloween into the mix and you have a winning recipe for a spooktacular family trip to London.
We've created a special family package for our half term guests – those on the more youthful side can enjoy an exclusive signed copy of our Fleming Frog book and other froggy goodies, along with Halloween Hot Chocolate & Creepy Crawly Cookies at bed time. If you haven't been to Flemings before you can take a tour!
While you're here, our head of concierge Paul can work his powers and send you off on a broomstick (ok, taxi) to 'Boo at the Zoo. This London Halloween event at London Zoo will have you delving into terrifying touch tables and twit-twoo-ing with owls, among other things on their spooky schedule.
If freaky frights aren't your thing we can arrange something more soothing; perhaps a family trip to see the heart-warming Matilda musical. We're right in the heart of it so London is your oyster when staying with us.

The HTC One was first rumoured back in December when it was known as the HTC M7. Since then we've heard various rumours about HTC's smartphone and most of them have come true !
HTC have officially unveiled the HTC One which is their new flagship Android smartphone that will land in the UK next month. We're led to believe that HTC's mobile will be available from all major UK operators, but so far only EE and Three have confirmed they'll stock the HTC One.
The HTC One has an amazing 4.7 inch full HD touch-screen which means that it runs at a resolution of 1920*1080 pixels (or 1080p). That gives HTC's smartphone a PPI of 468 which blows away the iPhone 5 (326 ppi) , Samsung Galaxy S3 (306 ppi) and even Sony's Xperia Z (440 ppi).
While, the HTC One is powered by a quad-core 1.7 GHz Snapdragon processor providing true next-gen power. Snapdragon's chip is backed up by 2GB of RAM, while the mobile will ship with 32GB of on-board memory.
When it comes to connectivity the HTC One is fully loaded because it supports 4G LTE, 3G , WiFi , Bluetooth and NFC. The HTC One is also the first device to feature "HTC Boomsound" which includes dual front-facing speakers, a built-in amplfier and Beats Audio technology.
The HTC One is the first smartphone to feature an Ultrapixel camera featuring a best-in-class f/2.0 aperture lens and a breakthrough sensor. The 4.3 Ultrapixel lens gathers 300 per cent more light than standard smartphone cameras ensuring amazing shots every-time.
The rear-facing Ultrapixel camera can record 1080p video and includes multi-axis optical image stabilisation. While, the front-facing 2.1 mega-pixel snapper can also record HD video and is perfect for video calling.
HTC's One comes pre-loaded with Android Jelly Bean meaning it benefits from all the latest in mobile technology. Furthermore, it comes pre-loaded with HTC Sense 5.0 the brand new version of HTC's custom user-interface.
One amazing new feature is "HTC BlinkFeed" which transforms the home-screen into a single live stream of personally relevant information. Content provided by Blinkfeed includes social networking updates, news, photos and more from over 1,400 media sources.
The HTC One can also act as a remote control and interactive guide for most TV's , receivers and set-top boxes thanks to HTC Sense TV. Could HTC's new feature mean the end for Logitech Harmony range and other universal remotes ?
The HTC One is expected to land in the UK in the middle of March when it'll be available in a choice of either stunning silver or beautiful black. As soon as we get more news on the price of the smartphone we'll let you know !
You can pre-order the HTC One on Three by clicking here !
3G hope to review the HTC One very soon and we'll looking to compare HTC's new smartphone with Sony's Xperia Z which we recently declared the "King of Android".

Fly Fishing Batchelor Party
Hi I'm from the Houston area in TX so I'm looking for a place not too far away we can fly to Denver pretty cheap from here. That being said I don't get up there very often so I don't know where to go after we get there. The information on the National Forest websites is somwhat limited we'd like to camp out, but there may be some hooping and hollering at night so it'd be nice to be kinda remote so as not to disturb others. There will be anywhere from 5 to 10 of us if that needs to be considered too. I've been to Beavers Bend many times, I'd really like to see some high peaks. I appreciate any help with us from people more familiar to the area.
Re: Fly Fishing Batchelor Party
If you could check out flights to Bozeman Montana! You could hit the Big Hole, the Madison and many others. You could even go into the National forest and camp and wont disturb a soul if your looking for seclusion. Just a thought, I dont know any about Denver, I've only been in the airport.
Re: Fly Fishing Batchelor Party
Not sure but found this
Denver Fishing-Fly Fishing Denver Information-Denver fly fishing Guides
I really like the idea of gathering info from a local source. Perhaps you could e-mail the fly shop for some intel. Promise to drop by for some gear and flies
and get what you need from the horses mouth. I have had much better success getting good info once you are at your destination. Good luck.
Re: Fly Fishing Batchelor Party
Yeah it'll be about 400 pp to fly to Bozeman which will make most of my cheap friends back out
Re: Fly Fishing Batchelor Party
Really? This I the last thing you want to do as a single guy? That usually means no more once your hitched! Just kidding ....... Have a great time!
Re: Fly Fishing Batchelor Party
Trust me I've partied hard enough for several lifetimes
Re: Fly Fishing Batchelor Party
If you flew into Denver and rented a van you could go into Rocky Mtn National Park up by Estes, CO. There are lots of streams and mtn lakes to explore. What time of year are you talking about? The reason I ask is that Trail Ridge Rd that goes west out of Estes Park and up and over the park doesn't normally open until Memorial Day due to the snow removal. If you and your friends aren't into high mtn back packing, one option would to to drive over the top of the park and on the west side there are a number of campgrounds and the headwaters of the Colorado River is there for exploring without having to do some heavy climbing in the mtns.
Re: Fly Fishing Batchelor Party
This post cracks me up...
This Sunday, my buddy is flying into Southwest Michigan from Denver and we are throwing him a bachelor party at my place, fishing during the days Sunday and Monday and doing whatever Sunday night for the party...
That sounds like an even better deal, flying into Denver and going out in the Mountains to camp, but he is from here originally and most his Friends including myself, still live in Michigan so made more sense to have it here...
There are lots of places North of Denver to do what you want to do at...
Good luck!
Re: Fly Fishing Batchelor Party
Thanks mcnerney I've been there as a kid it sure is create up there. So if I just get there I should be able to find what I want? I just like a plan when I travel 1000 miles lol? It'll probably may
Re: Fly Fishing Batchelor Party
If you happen to visit RMNP here is some information you might want to read: Fishing - Rocky Mountain National Park
Just below Estes Park is the Big Thompson river, lots of public access along the hwy, but it can get busy especially on weekends. Another thought would be to hit the Poudre River just above Ft Collins. Hwy 14 runs along the river for the entire length and there were numerous campgrounds. I haven't been there since the big fire which took out some of those campgrounds, but I have heard that the fishing is still pretty good. Another idea would be to fish the Colorado River west of Granby on hwy 40 toward Hot Sulpher Springs to Parshall. There are a number of public access points and some allow camping. To get there you would take I-70 west out of Denver, then turn off on hwy 40 between Idaho Springs and Georgetown and follow that toward Hot Sulpher Springs and you will see the public access signs. The hot springs would be a good stop to soak in the warm pools after a long day of fishing.
