Predicting which chemicals have
toxic effects on neurons might
have become easier; © SXC
Scientists have invented a rapid method for screening neurotoxins: The research group used a microchip to pattern human neurons as a hexagonal array of nodes and let the neurons grow connections to build a network. When the cells were exposed to a neurotoxin, however, the growth of this network was disturbed, and could be used to quantify neurotoxicity. Jonathan West, who led the project, has called the method the "network formation assay" (NFA).
"The formation of connections between neurons is one of the basic principles of memory and learning, and its disturbance is frequently a clinical sign of neurotoxicity", says Christoph van Thriel from the "Leibniz-Institut für Arbeitsforschung" (IfADo) in Dortmund, a collaborator on the project. "The NFA therefore represents an in vitro model that is comparable to the in vivo state."
Thus, the NFA can improve the ability to predict the neurotoxic effects of a chemical and ultimately reduce animal testing. In addition, a typical NFA screen takes only a few hours, enabling scientists to test a great number of substances in a very short time. Since the European Union has implemented the REACH legislation, the need for rapid screening methods has grown.

« Comments on Federal E-Rate Proposal Pour In | Main | Indiana Students Quickly Outwit School iPad Security »
Cyber Attacks on School Networks Increasing
The days of students bringing printed report cards home to their parents are coming to an end. As cloud services and data-management systems become cheaper and more robust, many schools, districts, and states are using online networks to store data such as records for attendance and grades that parents can access from their homecomputer.
Though the switch is often more convenient for teachers and parents, these networks can also make state agencies, districts, and schools vulnerable to cyber attacks.
At the end of August, the Kentucky Department of Education's statewide Infinite Campus information network was targeted by a distributed "denial-of-service" attack, or a DDoS. These attacks are designed to overwhelm the targeted IP address with requests, with the goal of interrupting or suspending service. They are also the most common form of cyber attack.
Although the Kentucky agency was able to fight off the DDoS attack before any data was compromised, DDoS attacks are occurring more often as they get easier to execute.
"What I understand from what I've seen is that [DDoS attacks are] a commonality now," said the Kentucky department's chief information officer, David Couch said. "I think most organizations have to add to their tool suite a way to detect them."
Because DDoS attacks can target any IP address, it's impossible to completely prevent them, so for districts and the companies that provide these data-management services, the focus is on battling these attacks as they come.
"We have to be prepared and understand the environment that we are operating in so we're prepared to address these issues as they come up," Eric Creighton said. Creighton is the chief operating officer at Infinite Campus, the company that provides data management services and operating systems to the state of Kentucky and many other schools and districts.
Part of predicting and combating cyber attacks is understanding why people order these attacks in the first place. When the target is a network that stores student grades and attendance information, the immediate thought is that a student is responsible. However, Creighton says that students rarely attempt attacks and, in his experience, have never succeeded.
"Some smart underperforming students might want to try to change [their grades], but we've never experienced a case where a student has hacked the system in a technical manner," he said.
A Price for Openness
Creighton also doubts that the attackers are attempting to retrieve data, as grades and attendance information are of little value to most hackers.
"I don't think these are attacks attempting to get data," he said. "There's no jackpot of valuable data unless you want to find out who the valedictorian is going to be--there's no payload here."
One reason that schools and districts may be targeted is that their systems, which are designed for convenient access for parents and teachers, are easier targets.
"By their very nature, [education networks] have to be a lot more open than a business network," said Marcus Rogers, a professor and chair of the cyber forensics program at Purdue University, in Indiana. "Universities and colleges used to get the black eye for being hack central, but they always go for the weakest link in the chain, and K-12 schools are where colleges were five years ago."
Rogers says that hackers use more vulnerable networks as a proof of concept or launching-off points for larger attacks on more valuable targets.
"For a lot of these attacks, the intended victim or goal is something bigger than the school," he said. "Obviously schools want to protect their data, but the bigger threat is when they use those networks now to go out and attack a power plant or a stock exchange or an air traffic control systems. That's when the stakes go up."
Kentucky education officials believe that the attack on their systems was triggered by a beacon unknowingly placed on a student's mobile device, which he or she took with them to school. Viruses can cause a device to send out a beacon, instructing thousands of other devices to attack the network the device is connected to. In Kentucky, officials say that this won't stop individual districts from implementing bring-your-own-device programs, but they can decrease the chances of an attack by making sure that these student devices are properly protected.
"I think what you're going to see is districts making sure that before people plug into their network they have up-to-date, good virus protection," Couch said. "Higher education has been doing that for a while, and I think you'll start to see that in K-12."
Rogers says that even when schools know best practices for avoiding and combatting attacks, such measures are often cost-prohibitive.
"The change that would do the most right now would be awareness of the issue, and potentially federal funds to help schools buy equipment and train network people," he said. "A lot of times the schools know what to do, but at the end of the day if they're trying to get library books, a firewall is not going to be their big concern."

The current boom in dystopian fiction for young-adult readers owes a lot to William Sleator, who passed away in Thailand a couple of days ago. His books were creepy, scary, and also filled with a relatable sort of dread.
His most famous novel, House of Stairs, involves five teenage orphans who wake up in a house with no doors and no windows. Other books include alien abductions, kids having the same weird dream, an egg-shaped object that lets you travel back and forth in time, and a black hole that whisks a child into an alternate universe. There's a great list of Sleator quotes and facts here.
Sleator, who wrote 30 novels in total, will be missed by young readers and by anybody who cherishes weird, scary books for kids and teenagers. His final novel, The Phantom Limb, will be published in October. [School Library Journal]

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
Coming up tonight at 9, Piers Morgan invites Tony Robbins back to the program, as the best-selling author and legendary peak performance strategist shares his patented blend of positivity and mental strength.
Addressing such issues as trauma and stress in one's life, Robbins says the fundamental tenant is to understand that everything begins within one's mind:
"First of all, I want to make one thing clear: The quality of your life is the quality of where you live emotionally," he tells the "Piers Morgan Tonight" host. "But we all have a home. Angry people find a way to get angry even if their life doesn't have anything to be angry about. We can always find it. Sad people find a way to be sad. Caring people find a way to care for other people. So one thing to identify is where are you living? What's your home? What's your habit? And then the way to change it."
Telling the tale of days in which he found himself homeless, the 52-year-old self-help guru reveals the ways in which he found the strength to persevere, and prosper:
"I didn't have the Internet, but I've decided I had to go to a library and I had to feed my mind. And I always tell people the first stage is, you know, weeds grow automatically," he tells Morgan. "One of my teachers taught me, he said: 'Every day stand guard at the door of your mind and feed it something good, because if your worst enemy puts sugar in your coffee, here, you're fine. If your best friend, by accident, trying to help you, puts some strychnine, you're dead.'"
Watch the clip, listen to the interview, and learn about the five individual pillars that the guest views as critical to happiness and success in life. Then tune in this evening at 9, as Robbins joins Morgan for an engaging and inspirational hour of television.

Freezing in NYC? Expecting drouts in the spring, wherever you are?? When you could be in BC Canada, where at the moment it is 20C or in the eighties, on the edge of the Pacific.. I't just beautiful here, while you continue to fight the elements ."
Olive Stones: History of the United States
in canada its the ame as usa.. they say they got the tools to help people get better jobs,but its like starting a business, so much red tape, most people just dont bother to waste their time
Tony Robbins just did huge damage to the current campaign to destigmatize PTSD. He insinuates that ANYONE can move beyond trauma to growth. THIS IS NOT TRUE. Current studies are finding more and more evidence that the experience of trauma is regulated not by reason or emotion, but by physiological processes that no person is able to control. Please let your audience know that this misinformation spouted by a nonscientist about a scientific issue is INCORRECT. Thank you.
yea and we believe all scientists and doctors too....lol
Yes... We do!
Well, both are true really. Speaking as someone who has ptsd, I completely agree w/ Tony. The things that he is suggesting DOES help. Did you hear what the gentleman he was talking w/ who had ptsd. He was getting therapy, meditating, etc and it all helped. I am being treated w/ EMDR and it helped tremendously. There are effective treatments out there that anyone can benefit from. People need to know that it's not hopeless. And I use Tony's suggestions and they help as much as anything. BUT...maybe there are situations that just are not overcome-able. That's easy to imagine as well. But I for one find his suggestions to be extremely helpful. And no amount of "research" can dispute my direct experience of what helps.
Dears Piers Morgan,
Finally I decided to email you, it is apleasure to watch your show and see the difference you are trying to make here in America. As I am from Lebanon officially and Canadian/American Citizenship. I have seen many countries and been around the world. I have settled in America. Cranston, Rhode Island. My past job, was being an athlete and Olympic Champion for team Canada. But I have been in war from Lebanon, lost my brother and have a handy capped brother. My father has been in war, and family moved so many times in my life from projects to projects to projects. But I wanted to say, your a very special person by really showing the world the truth and your doing your best in helping, especially toward gun control.
Again, I appreciated and I always support your show.
Thank You,
God Bless,
Sayed Najem

I wish more people like you would join Mr Morgan. Fear mongers are all against him.
Tony Robbins was in Shallow Hal with Jack Black. Are you serious? Your a joke.... Your visa needs to be revoked....
"tenet" not "tenant". Dictionary.
Tony Robbins apparently hasn't bothered to read ANYTHING about the science or biology of PTSD. He has no comprehension of the psychophysiology involved. Why some people get PTSD, and others don't. Mr Morgan, you need to talk to Dr. Roger Pitman at Harvard Med School. He wrote the chapter on PTSD in the Diagnostic Systems Manual. The book that physicians use to diagnose PTSD. This guy Tony is a cheerleader.... not much else.
Thank you Charlotte, especially for giving a reference to an expert.
I was born with the right to carry a firearm.it will be my right until I die..
Tony Robbins needs to have a PTSD convention. As a Line of Duty Injured 20 year high call volume paramedic from helicopter, ambulance, to ending the career with the Fire Service, I can relate to the 20 year Marine you had with Tony during this segment. Unfortunately, I don't have access to military psychological assistance and nor do I have the money to pay the previous comment of a Dr. Roger Pitman to dig me out of this hole that becomes deeper each day.Is there a Tony Robbins available in my zip code of 74136 area? My situation mirrors the marine, maybe not the marines scale of experience, however the symptoms and situations are the exact same!! Look forward to any response possible.
DJ, This is what I have done to treat my ptsd. I feel so much better after treatment w/ mindfulness, and EMDR therapy. you can learn mindfulness for free. Here is the contact info in your area. Contact Person: Terry, Telephone: (918) 740-7772, E-mail: buddhawithin at aol.com, Activities: Insight Meditation, Sun. 5-7 p.m. Mindfulness is a buddhist meditation practice that is currently being studied and showing great results. Don't let the buddhist part scare you. This is not a religious things, it's just a simple mental practice that anyone can use and is proving benefical for other mental health issues as well. It is ALWAY free, and the people at the number listed above, I'm sure, would be happy to teach it to you. If you went to the meeting on sunday nights, you will find others there who are learning it as well. Also, if you can afford therapy, find a therapist who uses EMDR to treat. It works as well. We know that those of us who have experience trauma actually have the "wiring" in our brains change. It is fasinating to me that the research on EMRD, actually shows that the wiring returns back to it's normal pathways. You can find more information about EMDR at http://www.emdr.com. The websites have a list of therapist trained in EMDR. Good Luck DJ. I just feel so much better from these 2 simple practices, I hope you can check it out.
Tony "I can teach you happiness if you attend my $500 seminar" Robbins. What a retread from the 80s, spouting the same nonsense. Piers. Come on man. Work hard. Get good guests. Not a con man who own weight loss schemes have failed him. What is wrong with CNN? Piers ratings stink and they still allow him to book the same old, same old. Get creative man. Next up...let me guess. Michael Moore. He is always panting to get more air time and boring the hell out of the rest of us. How many times to do have to see the same people on here. The key to ratings is unexpected, great guests you can find elsewhere. Tony Robbins would appear anywhere to sell one more of his DVDs that he claims cost only $39 and then keeps billing you for the rest of your life when you failed to read the fine print that you're signing up for a monthly program. Con men do not make for good TV
To the haters. Maybe we need more "cheerleaders" as some of you say instead of people always pointing out everything that won't work. The fact that Robbins was in "Shallow Hal" must mean that he knows nothing (I'm being sarcastic). Robbins is making a difference and yes he is making money at it. So what. No one is forcing you to watch. At least his message is empowering. What are some of the hater's suggestions? Oh that's right. You have none because you just want to bash. As far as having no credentials, I think his track record speaks for itself, but, I'm not a Doctor so I guess my opinion must be worth nothing. Oh, and if I followed my Doctor's advice on everything and didn't self advocate, I would be in big trouble today. Having letters after your name does not mean that you have all the answers. It means that you worked hard in school and studied.
Thanks for that. Here's a quote for you guys:
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
– Theodore Roosevelt
I wonder who Adam Lanza's role model was. I wonder who James Holmes role model was? Any answers there Piers?
Maybe you could do a show on that. That would be very intellectual. Are you up for it Piers?
It is really bothering me that so many people are attacking Tony Robbins. HIS METHODS HELP! Why don't you want these things to be shared? The only reason there is no "scientific research" on what he is saying is because no one has bothered to study them. If someone did research, I am sure they would find his advise to be accurate. Do any one you actually have PTSD? It's pretty obvious you do not. I have ptsd and can assure you Tony's type of advise helps ALOT! Seriously. JUST B/C THERE IS NO RESEARCH TO CONVINCE YOU, IT DOESN'T MEAN IT ISN'T HELPFUL.
Piers Morgan sucks!
Why would someone like Tony Robbins support this loser and agent of the evil Queen of England.
Half the people thought the proposal to go to the moon a colossal waste of money. We look back and think that we all came together as a nation but we're looking through the lens of the headlines. We've always been divided on most issues but never before has there been a full court press of media to keep the opposing viewpoints in your face. Ask anyone and they will tell you a majority of people favor their views because the media outlets they frequent tells them so.
Although Tony has never suffered thru PTSD, it is a debilitaing issue, (don't want to call it a disease). I've been thru Vietnam, I've seen my friends die, and I still have the bad dreams, still try to deal with it, but, I've never been, as far as I know, been idsabled by it..Sure, I always keep my distance from people. I don't wnat to lose those close to me.
I"ve also dealt with people who have been disabled with PTSD. These dreams are things that I and they have to deal with. Sure, I've been suicidal, but I dealt with it on my own terms. I only pray that others can find the truth in the Vietnam War, and hopefully deal with it. I love my brothers in Vietnam, I respect their issues. God bless them all
I really want to know how many of these writers are over 58 years old. The draft was ended. I HAD TO GO!!!
Tony Robbins has no qualifications to be "treating" anyone with PTSD. Perhaps he can "support" them in their struggle and they may even like him for doing so, but he is unqualified to claim that anything he has done is "treatment." I chalk Tony Robbins up as yet another unscrupulous self-help guru who is profiting from the hardships suffered by others.
Wow, listen to you all! Just take the good from what you hear and move on.
I was by Linkedin looking representing Paramount Net Traffic At present when I stumbled by your fantastic blog. Careful reading| gow http://www.tenis.webege.com
Superb blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers? I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Appreciate it!
I'm amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that's equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. Now i'm very happy I came across this in my search for something relating to this.|

Before I came to Japan I didn't know there was a Disneyland in Tokyo. I never really thought to come here. One, I considered it a place really for kids (or for the weird J types obsessed with everything Disney). Two, I wanted to come here for a reason - a "special occasion" of sorts. It has been on my to do list recently. Well that occasion happened to be my birthday. It was given to me as a present so.. here we go!
The key to maximising your time is the fast pass. I researched a little what I wanted to do, and it was decided "Pooh's Honey Hunt" would be worthy of the first pass.
The line of "Haunted Mansion" wasn't too long so we went through there. One thing that kind of bothered me throughout the day is the lack of English on the rides. I know I'm in Japan but it would be nice to have maybe a headset to translate?
We waited in line for "Big Thunder Mountain" Nice. After that we got our fast pass for "Splash Mountain" and went to try out the Pooh ride.
Most people make a big deal of the trackless cars. They are pretty cool. As with most of the rides, it was too dark and speedy to take photos. The animatronics looks very new and modern, easily the best in the park. It's clear why this is one of the favourite rides here.
We went back towards the castle and had a popcorn break. I bought the curry flavour. It tastes great. It wasn't the last time I tried it. Later we had chocolate which tasted pretty good too.
"Beaver Brothers Explorer Canoes" was a bit of hard work especially considering the mother and son in front of me decided to take extended breaks OFTEN. Ga! Lots of ducks around.
Next was "Pirates of the Caribbean". Although we didn't use a fast pass the line was not too long and moved quickly. I guess since it's an older ride people aren't as excited for it anymore. Still enjoyable enough.
It's hard to navigate around parades. I had to take the LONG way around to get to Captain EO. Along the way I managed to take some great photos. I bet when these happy people go home they are chain smoking and swearing. Parade people can't be happy like this ALL the time.
So, Captain EO.. This seems REALLY out of place and dated. The years have not been kind. I hated the pre-show video. It made the time feel even longer to go in (and there wasn't even a line!) I love the 80's and Michael Jackson's music but I don't see this attraction lasting too long.
In sharp contrast I LOVED Mickey's PhilharMagic. The 3D was infinitely better as well as the "special effects". Good thing too that Donald Duck is the main character and I can't understand him half the time in English so the story was quite understandable too. The songs were real nice too. We watched it twice. It was THAT good.
Before we saw this show we went on "Star Tours" and "StarJets". We strolled through Toontown riding "Gadget's Go Coaster" for a laugh.
Space Mountain had one of the biggest lines. For sheer thrill this was probably the best ride for me. Maybe too scary for young kids. This would suit Disney Sea quite well.
By now we were both quite tired. Peter Pan's Flight was "ok". I had stupid fun "racing" a mother and daughter on the Grand Circuit Raceway. Then we went on Dumbo's "Flying Elephants", "Castle Carousel" merry-go-round, and the Teacups "Alice's Tea Party" to be completists.
Finally to end the day we did the "Jungle Cruise" just before closing. Here again the jokes were completely lost on me being in Japanese.
We were here from virtually opening time till close, so it IS possible to do Disneyland in a day. This really is a place to take the kids, or maybe a date. You have to do it because it's DISNEYLAND. Right?

days, the perfect complement to Calendar - Keep track of the most important dates in your life
The perfect complement to your Calendar app.
What is it about?
days, the perfect complement to Calendar - Keep track of the most important dates in your life!
App Screenshots
App Store Description
days, the perfect complement to Calendar - Keep track of the most important dates in your life!
① If you're tired of fishing through calendar apps to find important dates that you occasionally need, either from the distant past or the far off future, then days is for you!
② If you want to see clearly the events coming up in your calendars without being shown lots of empty white boxes with entries in text so tiny you can't even read what's there on a given day, then days is for you!
③ If you want to know how long it's been since you left school / university, had your last hair cut, saw a doctor, had a vaccination, started your current job, left your previous job, when you bought your car, how old your dog / television / house is, then days is for you!
④ If you want to be reminded up to 99 days before your passport / drivers license expires, when your mortgage / loans run down, when your next medical appointment is, when you need to perform routine maintenance on your household devices, when you have to renew your subscriptions / contracts, how long to go before your vacation starts or you can retire, then days is for you!
⑤ If you want a single app that keeps track of ALL the most important dates in your life, and lets you manage these in a simple and clear UI, yet provides extensive categorisation, sorting, filtering, searching, and sharing capabilities, showing how old a past event is or a countdown to when a future event will occur, then days is for you!
Unlike most calendar apps which focus on events coming up in the near future, days has been designed to keep track of the most important dates in your life from the distant past to the distant future. It manages this by seamlessly combining calendar entries with its own database to store events outside of calendar. Use days to store distant past events such as your entire education, employment, medical history, and events off in the future like legal documents expiring, contracts running down, etc.
Use days own database to store events in three broad stores:
► Days Gone - Great for important dates you need to remember from the past: Medical Dates, Personal Dates, Project Milestones, Employment Dates, Education Dates, Equipment Age, Journal / Log Book
► Annual - Great for annually recurring events, just enter the details once and days will always remember: Birthdays, Anniversaries, Name days, Death dates, Public Holidays, Historic Events, National Celebrations
► Days To Go - Excellent as a to-do reminder store for keeping track of important dates coming up in the future: Warranties Expiring, Membership / Subscription Renewals, Contractual Dates, Legal Documents Expiring, Bank Cards Expiring, Project Deadlines, Appointments, House Chores, Equipment Maintenance, Vacations and important Life Events
► Universal app (iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch) with iCloud synch and other sharing features to transfer events between all iOS devices.
► Local notification alerts, you choose which events you want to be alerted to and how many days before, up to 99 days for Days To Go and Annual events.
► Instant sorting by Days-to-Go / Gone / Alphabetical - How many calendar's let you sort events alphabetically?
► Instant filtering on multiple Categories / Calendars.
► Copy entries across the lists, and to and from Calendars.
► Powerful search feature with drill down filtering.
► Add unlimited notes to each event, which are also checked when searching.
► Built in date calculator.
► Preferences to control display behavior and set alert time.
► Change UI Theme Colors (Plain, Dark Blue, Light Blue)
All day's events can be exported for backup, printing, importing, or sharing via the e-mail functions, and calendar events can be exported for printing via e-mail:
Note: Calendar events are integrated from 1 year back to 1 year forward.

A shocking video appears to show Libyan rebels desecrating Christian and Jewish graves at a cemetery, further evidence that the same forces who helped NATO overthrow Gaddafi and are now carrying out attacks in Syria are extremist Muslims who care little for 'freedom' or 'democracy'.
The clip shows Libyan rebels breaking apart headstones while shouting "Allahu Akbar". The men later try to smash up a large Christian cross statue with sledgehammers.
This kind of behavior is par for the course given the fact that the western-backed regime change in Libya was achieved with the aid of Al-Qaeda terrorists who had previously fought against U.S. troops in Iraq.
Rebel forces in Libya were directed by Abdulhakim Belhadj, former leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), which is designated as a terrorist organization by the US State Department. Libyan rebel leader Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi admitted that Belhadj's LIFG fighters were the second-largest cohort of foreign fighters in Iraq, responsible for killing U.S. troops.
Once the terrorist-led rebels executed Colonel Gaddafi, they proudly flew the distinctive black Al-Qaeda flag over courthouses in Benghazi and other centers of power. On the orders of Belhadj, the puppet National Transitional Council then announced that Sharia law would be reinstated.
Libyan rebels have since imposed a reign of terror over the country, incarcerating and torturing blacks and anyone suspected of supporting Gaddafi in concentration camps and cages.
These same terrorists were subsequently airlifted into Syria to fight NATO's proxy war against President Bashar Al-Assad. Hillary Clinton admitted in a BBC News interview that the US and Al-Qaeda were on the same side in Syria.
Is it any surprise that Syrian "opposition" forces are now also rallying around the Al-Qaeda flag just as they did in Libya?

This video shows Syrian "activists" flying the Al-Qaeda flag during an anti-Assad protest in the northern Syrian town of Binnish.
In another clip, armed Syrian rebels address the camera standing behind a table draped with the black Al-Qaeda flag.
Why are western governments who are supposed to be engaged in a 'war on terror' against radical Muslim terrorists handing those very same terrorists control over entire countries?
Why is the establishment media, just as they did in Libya, describing rebels who fight under the Al-Qaeda flag, as "activists"?
Why are NATO powers like France and America arming radical Muslims who identify themselves as Al-Qaeda terrorists with anti-aircraft missiles?
Why is Senator John McCain calling for the United States to bomb Syria in support of Al-Qaeda terrorists?
Why is the Pentagon preparing to support these Al-Qaeda terrorists by launching "guerrilla attacks" and "assassination campaigns" inside Syria to topple Assad's government?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pledging swift action to curb gun violence, Vice President Joe Biden says he will deliver new proposals to President Barack Obama by next Tuesday.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Pledging swift action to curb gun violence, Vice President Joe Biden says he will deliver new proposals to President Barack Obama by next Tuesday.
Biden said Thursday that while he had not finalized his recommendations, a consensus was emerging over banning assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines as well as tightening background checks.
Some of those measures are likely to face opposition from some pro-gun groups, most notably the National Rifle Association. A representative from the NRA met with Biden Thursday afternoon and, in a statement, suggested the group was unlikely to be a willing partner.
"We will not allow law-abiding gun owners to be blamed for the acts of criminals and madmen," the group said in a statement at the end of a 95-minute meeting.
Obama, after the shooting of school children in Newtown, Conn., appointed Biden to lead a task force on preventing gun violence. He set a late January deadline for reommendations, which he pledged to act on swiftly.
The vice president said Thursday that while no recommendations would eliminate all future mass shootings, "there has got to be some common ground, to not solve every problem but diminish the probability."
The NRA, the nation's largest gun-rights group, has worked to block gun-control efforts in the past and is opposing any new ones. In the wake of the Newtown shootings, NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre rejected efforts to tighten gun laws and instead recommended putting armed guards in all schools.
LaPierre was not scheduled to attend the White House meeting. Instead, the NRA dispatched its top lobbyist, James Baker, who has worked with Biden previously on gun issues.
White House officials recognize it is unlikely the NRA will fully support measures Obama is pushing. But the administration may need to soften the NRA's opposition if it hopes to rally support from pro-gun lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
The NRA, too, seemed eager to rally its allies in Congress.
"We were disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with keeping our children safe and how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment," the group said in its statement.
"We will now take our commitment and meaningful contributions to members of Congress of both parties who are interested in having an honest conversation about what works — and what does not."
Biden was also meeting Thursday with sportsmen and wildlife organizations, including Ducks Unlimited, the Outdoor Industry Association and the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, as well as the National Shooting Sports Foundation and the Firearms Import/Export Roundtable.
Wal-Mart, the nation's largest firearms seller, will meet separately with Attorney General Eric Holder Thursday along with other retailers such as Bass Pro Shops and Dick's Sporting Goods.
Biden has also said the administration is weighing executive action in addition to recommending legislation by Congress. Those steps could include making gun-trafficking a felony, getting the Justice Department to prosecute people caught lying on gun background-check forms and ordering federal agencies to send data to the National Gun Background Check Database.
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence says that about 40 percent of gun sales are made without background checks, often at gun shows and over the Internet.
Representatives from the Brady Campaign joined other victims' groups and gun safety organizations for meetings with Biden on Wednesday. The vice president said the steps the administration is considering could "take thousands of people out of harm's way" and improve the safety of millions more.
"I want to make it clear that we are not going to get caught up in the notion that unless we can do everything, we're going to do nothing," Biden said. "It's critically important we act."
The Newtown shootings pushed gun control to the top of Obama's domestic agenda for the first time during his presidency. He was largely silent on the hot-button political issue after the 2011 shootings in Tucson, Ariz., that killed six people and wounded 12 others, including then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and the Colorado movie theater killing of a dozen people and wounding of many more last July.
The president hopes to announce his administration's next steps to tackle gun violence shortly after he is sworn in for a second term and has pledged to push for new measures in his State of the Union address.

Controlling Access to Authorized Cloud Applications
Enterprises recognize the value of cloud. Ovum research shows that 80% of organizations will be increasing their use of cloud services over the next two years. Employees want to use cloud services that are convenient, easy to use, and make their working lives simpler. However, business and employee views on cloud rarely correspond. The outcome, often referred to as "shadow IT," is uncontrolled growth of cloud services, away from the watchful eyes of company IT departments.

7th annual Bubbles and Truffles fundraiser set for Feb. 8
WINSTED >> One of the main fundraisers for Friends of Main Street will once again set up shop at Whiting Mills on Feb. 8.
The seventh installment of Bubbles and Truffles will run from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Whiting Mills, taking over the main exhibition space. Tickets are $25 in advance or $35 at the door and reservations can be made through Friends of Main Street. Helen Bunnell, the executive director of Friends of Main Street, said the annual wine and chocolate tasting offers an opportunity to not only sample northwestern Connecticut's wares, but also open up lines of communication.
"Bubbles and Truffles is a major fundraiser for the Friends of Main Street," Bunnell wrote in a press release, "But it is also an opportunity for business owners, members and friends to network and socialize."
Last year's Bubbles and Truffles drew over 200 people to Whiting Mills to sample wines from eight different vendors, local chocolate and other food. The Green Room -- a vegetarian cafe which has since closed -- dished up crepe samples as well, demonstrating the diversity of northwestern Connecticut's food.
"This is the place to be tonight," said Friends of Main Street president Fran Delaney at the 2012 Bubbles and Truffles. "It's a demonstration that all you have to do is give people a reason to be out."
The seventh installment will have 40 different wines, as well as a selection of beer, for guests to taste and purchase. Ledgebrook Spirit Shoppe, which organized the wine lineup for Bubbles and Truffles, offered to donate 10 percent of their proceeds to Friends of Main Street, helping to flesh out the total take -- while the food helped flesh out the guests.
"My waistline is a testament to the fact that I like the chocolate," town manager Dale Martin said at the 2012 Bubbles and Truffles, "and I like the food."
For more information on Bubbles and Truffles, or to make reservations, call Friends of Main Street at (860) 738-3351 or email Helen Bunnell at firstname.lastname@example.com.

University of British Columbia president Stephen Toope has announced he is leaving his post next year to turn his attention back to his academic pursuit of international law — but that's about where the plan ends.
We caught up with Toope and asked him about his experience as head of UBC and the possibilities, challenges and opportunities going forward. Here is the transcript.
Q: Why have you decided to leave your job as president of UBC?
A: I'm loving this job and it has been incredibly rewarding and continues to be, but I was thinking about what the future will hold for me and I made a decision a couple of months ago that I would like to ensure that what I do over the next couple of years is related to my own professional and academic interests in international law and international relations.
Q: What sort of work are you hoping to do once you've left your post at UBC?
A: I don't know, honestly, there's nothing on the horizon. I'm not leaving for any particular job but it will be something that connects me much more directly with my own work in international law. Over the last few years I've managed to keep my academic interests alive, I published a book in 2010 (Legitimacy and Legality in International Law: An Interactional Account, with Jutta Brunnée) and I continue to write and try to teach when I can, and I just want to make sure that the next few years have more of that.
Q: You've done quite a lot at UBC over the last seven years. What did you want to accomplish when you first took on the job?
A: Well, I think that one of the things I really wanted to do was frankly build on existing success. UBC is one of the handful of universities in the world that has made the greatest transition in the last quarter-century from being a very strong regional university to now being one of a very small number of really globally relevant and important universities. So I came here knowing that that was in play and one of the first things I wanted to do was make sure that trajectory was continued.
Working with lots of colleagues here at UBC, we tried to focus our energies by creating a plan called Place and Promise. A lot of my work over the last five years was making sure that we were quite careful and intentional with implementing that plan.
Q: Talk to me about Place and Promise. It's a catchy slogan, but what does it mean?
A: It does speak to something quite real which is that we are really in a remarkable place. Being here in Vancouver and in the Okanagan — a part of Canada that has seen tremendous growth, where we're facing Asia, which is the part of the world that is probably the most dynamic right now. We have a remarkable positioning because of where we are. Also tie that in with an extraordinary natural environment, commitments to sustainability.
So that's the place part. Here we are in this unique environment, what is it that UBC can do that other universities may not be in such a good position to do. And then the promise piece is what are the few things we as an institution can take on that really would distinguish UBC at a truly global level.
Q: Can you give me specifics?
A: I've already mentioned sustainability. I truly believe that UBC is now taking a global leadership role in both the research on sustainability but also acting out sustainability in our own operations. We've integrated our research and operations to a remarkable degree. International engagement is another area where UBC has a profound leadership role. Partly because where we are we have historic relationships with China, with Japan, with Korea, that we've tried very hard to build upon.
There are also certain specific areas where UBC has tremendous global leadership in terms of our academic pursuits — genomics, we of course had a Nobel Prize winner, Michael Smith, and his research continues to be very important. Brain research, mental health and addictions, HIV/AIDS, economics, there are a whole series of areas where UBC is really globally relevant and we've tried to uphold that relevance and strengthen it.
Q: Leadership is a very important skill in the president of the university. You have a very limited scope in what you can mandate, but you've managed to persuade a lot of people to come around to your vision. How did you do that?
A: I hope that a starting place is that people have to respect the values that one stands for. I think for any leader, whether you're a student leader, or a university leader or a business leader, if people don't think that you've got good values, then you've got a problem right from the beginning. So I've tried always to hold certain values of transparency and frankness and not sort of hiding issues when they're real issues. So I think that's a starting place and then I think the rest of it is to really listen well. To find out what motivates them, what do they care about? And then to try to connect that into an overall vision for the university.
Q: So are you hoping that someone will continue on in the work that you've done?
A: Well, look, I think that universities have lasted for a thousand years and I would say that whoever follows will have a basis on which to build. But he or she will have to, with the team at the time, articulate a new vision. I don't purport to say that what I've worked on was completely different from what came before, I think it builds on it. But there will be new initiatives and new opportunities and of course the context will change. So I don't really know what my successor will end up working on and I wouldn't try to limit what they can do.
Q: What would you like to see the university continue to do?
A: Well I think what I'd like to see is just to build on this tremendous momentum this university has had for a quarter-century, that's as far as I've put it. I think the university has established itself as a leader in Canada and internationally and in different ways, probably, I hope that whoever succeeds me will be able to build on that.
Q: What do you think the biggest challenge will be for the university going forward?
A: Oh, there are remarkable changes taking place in the university world, I'm sure you know about the initiatives in online learning. I think we're learning more — including research done at UBC — about how people actually learn. I suspect, and I'm going to be working on this over the next 15 months, that the university over the next few years is going to have to rethink a lot of traditions about how learning takes place. Probably less emphasis on lectures, more emphasis on interactive modes of education — some facilitated by technology but a lot of it still person-to-person, but in different ways than we've done it before. I think that's going to be a major challenge going forward. And then I would also say that the financial model for universities is likely to be affected by that. ... budgets will continue to be restrained and constrained.

My latest project is a WiFi probe request logger called Sentinel.
A ZeroW with an extra wifi dongle set to monitor mode. When a wifi probe request is recieved, it is filtered by its signal strength, then checked against an exclude list of known devices. If it gets through these filters, it is a potential suspect should a crime be committed. The MAC address is cross referenced to get the vendor I'd.
A MySQL database rcords timestamp, MAC address, Vendor, Signal strength and SSID. This data can be managed via a web interface using HTML and PHP.
If a crime is committed ( it has been designed for an environment where burglary is a problem), the database will list the MAC address of any devices in the area at the time, along with an SSID that the device has connected to. This information will be handed over to the police.

Quality Support for Procurement in Medical Technology
The industry is facing challenging times: International competition is forcing companies in medtech to cut costs. However, companies can't afford to reduce quality or scale back on innovation. On top of this, they have to comply with industry regulations and standards. We offer enhanced supplier management and integration with quality management, making it the ideal software for medtech.
What Sets Us Apart
Our solutions for medical technology companies cover all aspects of transactional and strategic procurement. It is the only solution suite on the market that makes it easy for companies to meet the high quality and safety standards for this industry.
Supplier Management
In the medical field, quality is given high priority in Supplier Relationship Management. The number of specialized suppliers is therefore relatively low, and the suppliers that do meet the initial requirements must be carefully selected, qualified, and sustainably developed.
Norms, Quality Assurance regulations, standard form contracts, REACH/RoHS documents, inspection reports, and safety sheets are important in the medical sector. Using a communication platform ensures seamless documentation and reduces the time and effort spent on managing, archiving, and exchanging documents.
In the medical sector, audit-proof processes and meting compliance standards are a must. Our solutions help you standardize internal processes and guarantee the audit-proof documentation of sourcing processes.
For custom parts, for example, the supplier needs sketches from Procurement. With our solutions , all the documents necessary for the RFQ can easily be shared digitally. This means that large files no longer have to be sent via e-mail. With the help of the SRM Module, you can guarantee that a supplier's approval status is taken into account when submitting requests. This means that only those suppliers that have not been blocked can be added to a call for tenders.
Supply Chain Management (SCM)
With our solutions, you can ensure that the ordering process for special machines or materials with comprehensive and detailed specifications is also a cooperative effort. Benefit from demand planning with the suppliers (e.g. advance delivery notifications, forecasts), as well as goods receipt with invoice integration. Change management and exchanging data in any format (designs, norms, Quality Assurance regulations, standard form contracts, REACH/RoHS documents) are easy thanks to DAE (Document Approval Exchange).
Quality Management
New suppliers can pose a quality control risk, which can be avoided by using long-term, consistent suppliers. These suppliers must be carefully selected, monitored and developed. Automating complaint management also improves QM processes. Audits are planned, carried out, and analyzed using software solutions. Data is documented, archived, and managed in a central location.
Our solutions increase the overall level of automation for Quality Management processes and make it easier to exchange QM documents with business partners. Quality planning with APQP is based on the reliable functions of Project Management.
Tejari integrates seamlessly with more than 40 ERP systems, including Oracle, SAP, IBM Maximo, McKesson, Infor, Banner, Workday, Colleague, and PeopleSoft.
The Solution Suite
With Tejari's unique solutions for medical technology companies, manufacturers can make their processes more efficient, comply with the highest security and quality standards, and achieve savings that will make a difference to their bottom line.
Net Results:

This is false advertising, and I'm sending you the bill for having to repaint my kitchen.
Yours truly,
Ibee Grumpy, M.D.
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
No mess cap? HA! There is no such thing. With enough effort, the no mess cap can make a glorious mess that would make any housekeeper cry.
So what did Marie do this time? Or the boys. Or the dogs! More information is needed, please!
P.S Migranat is my sign-in - a new form of migraine treatment?!
Frank. He just somehow covered everything in sight.
Sounds like someone is a budding Jackson Pollock.
Ah, it takes talent! Perhaps he is a budding artist??? The next Jackson Pollock???
We just got a new bottle of Heinz ketchup that has some funky gasket to keep down the spray. You have to squeeze like crazy so it's harder for my girl to do on her own now, and there are still drips on the cap that have to be cleaned off. boo hiss
I once babysat for two kids whose mother thought they would enjoy making candles. I melted her enormous vat of red wax on the stove, then poured it into the foil tray she had left for us, oblivious to the fact that one of the kids had earlier attempted to turn it into a hat and had cut through the middle of it, then given up and put it back.
It broke, of course, and wax went absolutely everywhere - it covered the entire stove surface and dripped down into the burners and onto the floor, where it instantly hardened. I spent the rest of the day chipping it off with a butter knife.
So, got pics?
No, I was too busy frantically cleaning before Mrs. Grumpy got back from her meeting. She'd kill me.
I love no mess caps, they are great!! normal bottles if you squeeze them it just slurps of the end, but with no mess ones you have to really squeeze until the pressure overcomes that little valve and it shoots out in a jet at high speed.
They are as bad as the child proof packages that you gotta pay a neighborhood toddler to open as it is impossible to do if you are an adult.

In the spring of 2000, Henry and I bought a weekend house in Pennsylvania's Endless Mountains (a misnomer on two counts: they do eventually end, and most of them are not really mountains). And in March, we went to Paris to attend a special 75th anniversary dinner for Henry's favorite crossword puzzle, the Listener, published weekly in the London Times. Sitting across the table from us was the then-editor of the Listener Crossword (well known in puzzle circles as the most difficult crossword in the English language). "The" Ross Beresford. While Henry and I had been courting transatlantically in 1998, he'd explained about this fellow who had been all-correct in solving the Listener for so long they'd retired him and made him the editor. Henry (who is the smartest person I know) really looked up to this guy.
Looking at Ross from across the table in Paris, I was intrigued. He seemed very quiet, but not shy -- he stared at Henry and me for most of the dinner. Rather uncharacteristic boldness for a Brit, I thought. And, yes, I had a teeny crush on "the" Ross Beresford. But I knew nothing about him, and we only saw him a couple more times in London when our visits to Henry's parents coincided with the quarterly crossword puzzle get-togethers at the White Horse pub in Parsons Green.
As 2009 ends, of course, everything is topsy-turvy from 2000: I'm no longer a practicing attorney of any sort, I live full-time in the weekend house, and I'm married to the guy who stared at us in Paris.
Here's what I can't remember: What was I reading in 2000? Not so many romances, I'm pretty sure. I do recall having surgery in 2003 and taking all of Susan Elizabeth Philips' Chicago Stars books to read. (A good choice for the boredom of lying in an uncomfortable hospital bed.) I still looked for the authors I'd loved in the 1990s: Jane Feather, Mary Jo Putney, Joan Wolf, Lynn Kerstan, SEP, and Linda Howard, but their output wasn't growing and I wasn't doing a very good job of discovering new authors.
Which is why today, on the last day of the decade, I'm still playing catch-up with authors like Mary Balogh (whom I'd tried a long time ago and not liked as well as, say, Jane Ashford or Elizabeth Mansfield), Jo Beverley, Loretta Chase, and Jennifer Crusie. (It's a bit embarrassing about Jennifer Crusie: I met her in 1997 -- I was her chauffeur to a writing workshop she gave for our RWA chapter -- and then didn't buy any of her books for ten years after that. Trust me, that's not her fault. She was quite lovely; I was quite crazy.) All of that catching up has been in 2009.
I just counted: I've read 107 romances since last May. That's almost certainly more romances than I read from 2000 through 2008. That total includes some re-reads and a lot of books not published in this decade. I'm also counting the Julia Spencer-Fleming Miller's Kill mysteries in that list for two reasons: a) there may not be a lot of romance in them by volume, but the romance in there is sublime, and b) it was reading her books -- a recommendation I got from Smart Bitches -- that got me restarted reading romances. I have 50 novels in my (various) TBR tote bags and piles. (There were also 9 DNFs -- books I started and for whatever reason didn't take to.)
But here's the most significant thing about this decade. I found a voice for what I was feeling. Not just a voice, but a lovely mezzo-soprano. Before 2000, I croaked or whined or just didn't speak of feelings at all. But in the course of making two happy marriages (hey, just because the first one ended doesn't mean it wasn't happy and successful; turns out it had a "Best By" date, that's all) and gently resolving some family problems, I learned to convey what I was feeling.
That voice -- that lyrical expression of love and pain and fear -- is essential to any effort I might make as a writer. In the past, I think I read romances so that they might speak for my heart. Today, I read romances a bit more critically. Best book I read this year was LaVyrle Spencer's Morning Glory. I first read it close to 20 years ago, but I doubt I noticed the quality of her writing back then. This year: wow! She managed to inhabit those characters in a way I can only dream of doing as a writer.
It's only in this decade that I learned how much of loving someone is knowing how and what to tell them of that love. I'm still learning. But I understand now what was missing in all my previous attempts to write a romance: the ability to give love a voice.

Future Treatments and Research
Roswell Park Clinical Research Center
Roswell Park's Clinical Research Center is one of the first in the nation that focuses specifically on the development of new cancer treatments. Housed in the Roswell Park hospital, the center offers patients more treatment options and provides the highest level of patient safety.
In the Pipeline
Everyday Roswell Park researchers strive to discover and develop better and more effective treatments. Some of our current work that involves melanoma includes:
- A new landmark cancer vaccine developed and manufactured at Roswell Park is currently in clinical trials. The vaccine, designed to eradicate cancer cells and prevent their recurrence, works against cancer cells that contain a type of protein called NY-ESO-1. This protein has been found in certain patients with breast, bladder and ovarian cancer as well as those with sarcoma, melanoma and cancer types. The vaccine is custom-made for each patient from his or her own cancer cells.
- Using masitinib, a drug used for multiple sclerosis and other cancers, for advanced melanoma with a certain gene mutation
- Analyzing which type of lymph node surgery is optimal for controlling melanoma
- A potential new drug called axitinib in patients with advanced melanoma
- A special type of PET scan to determine who might respond to a certain treatment
Roswell Park Research Milestones for Melanoma
- Launched cancer vaccine trial that uses new dendritic cell vaccine to fight cancers, including melanoma, that express NY-ESO-1 protein
- Took part in national studies that determined the value of sentinel node biopsy for people with melanoma

Jillian Noel "Jill" Hennessy (born November 25, 1968) is a Canadian actress and musician known for her television roles on Law & Order and Crossing Jordan.
Hennessy was born in Edmonton, Alberta. Her father, John Hennessy, was a meat salesman and sales/marketing executive, a job that required considerable travel and resulted in frequent moves for the family. Her mother, Maxine, a secretary, left the family in 1982, leaving her daughter to be partially raised by her paternal grandmother, Eleanor, in Kitchener, Ontario. She has a younger brother, John Paul Hennessy Jr.( also known as J.P.), and an identical twin sister, Jacqueline, who is a magazine writer and TV show host in Canada. Hennessy has Irish, French, Swedish and Italian ancestry on her father's side, and mostly Ukrainian, as well as Austrian, ancestry on her mother's. She graduated from Grand River Collegiate Institute in Kitchener, Ontario and used to busk in the Toronto Subway.
Hennessy and her sister played twin call girls in 1988's Dead Ringers. She was short-listed for the role of Dana Scully, on The X-Files. In 1993, she played Dr. Marie Lazarus in RoboCop 3. Hennessy is most well-known for playing assistant district attorney Claire Kincaid on Law & Order (1993 – 1996) and for playing the lead role as medical examiner Jordan Cavanaugh on Crossing Jordan. In 1999 she played Lisa in Chutney Popcorn. In 2000, Hennessy wrote, produced, and co-directed with Elizabeth Holder an independent film called The Acting Class. Inspired by a true story, the mockumentary looks at the trials and tribulations of a dysfunctional acting class. The film co-starred her sister, and included cameos by a number of Hennessy's former Law & Order co-stars.

Terry Savage is, by all accounts, a supremely successful personal finance columnist and a source of inspiration for working women everywhere.
Yet the author of Savage Truth and Money has a confession to make: she is afraid of becoming poor someday. A bag lady. And Savage says she is not alone: many women share her fear.
"Women have a deep and lurking fear of becoming bag ladies," Savage said Wednesday at the start of a panel talk on women and personal finance sponsored by TD Ameritrade Institutional at the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) national conference in Chicago.
"I am willing to own up to my fear," Savage said, but added that to conquer her fear she has purchased two long-term care insurance plans.
Savage's admission came as she introduced a panel talk featuring four women who shared the details of their own personal financial lives in a surprisingly open and honest discussion.
The four women—none of whom are stay-at-home mothers in a traditional marriage—described their biggest financial fear and the problems they face. Savage then opened the discussion to the audience of NAPFA planners, who offered their advice on how to solve those problems.
A recently retired single woman with no children, this former financial analyst said she didn't start working with an advisor until she realized there was a difference between investing and financial planning. When she decided it was time to retire at age 70, however, Janice hired an advisor who helped create a portfolio that provided her with long-term preservation of capital.
The advisor also supported Janice through the refinancing of a fixed-rate mortgage on her home, with monthly payments that are cheaper than rent, and reviewed her long-term care insurance plan.
"The fund companies are so unhelpful with retirement planning," Janice said. "Once I hit Social Security age, I banked all those checks for three years, and that gave me cash and traveling money."
Biggest fear: Managing her health care issues as a single woman.
Advice from NAPFA planners: find out whether her LTC insurance plan offers a case management benefit.
After retiring at age 52 to enjoy a long retirement with an older husband, Mary unexpectedly became a widow 10 years ago. She hadn't paid much attention to her finances up to that point because her husband was an economist and she figured, "he was the financially savvy one in our marriage." After she died, she found herself a financial planner after interviewing three candidates and picking the person she felt was the best communicator and listener.
Mary is a stepmother of three children and 10 grandchildren and says she doesn't want to be a burden on them, which is why long-term care insurance is on her "bucket list" for the next year.
"When I first talked about the fee with my financial planner, it sounded like a lot, but we talked it through," Mary said. "I love the idea that if something comes up, I can just pick up the phone and he'll call me in 24 hours."
Biggest fear: Running out of money.
Advice from NAPFA planners: Mary has avoided investing in stocks, but many planners in the audience at the NAPFA panel encouraged her to re-examine that decision. Nothing beats stocks for higher returns, and she can find equities that match her risk tolerance, they told her. Shannon
When Shannon completed her Ph.D. in English after 15 years in grad school, she didn't get a job to pay off her $100,000 in student loans. Instead, the writer and mother of two adopted daughters in a lesbian partnership and decided to stay at home and take care of the kids. Her older partner makes a good living as a tenured professor, but she and Shannon are unmarried, and federal tax law considers them to be strangers to each other.
The partners have no financial planner, and their accountant is "a raging homophobe" who isn't interested in helping them with their precarious financial situation, according to Shannon.
"I got lucky and married into tenure, but I'm completely dependent on my partner," Shannon said. "I decided to stay at home and make baby food, and I don't earn money, so I don't feel entitled to speak up."
Biggest fear: Losing her partner.
Advice from NAPFA's planners: Take out more life insurance—in the range of $500,000 to $2 million to cover all possible expenses in case of either the older partner's or Shannon's death—and find a financial planner at www.prideplanners.org.
Karen is a divorced mother with two daughters in college, an ex-husband in cognitive decline due to Parkinson's disease and trustee responsibility for her aging father and aunt, who are in the same nursing home.
Because of the complications in her life, Karen has engaged a NAPFA advisor to help her manage her 89-year-old father's finances, which include a monthly bill for $7,800 in skilled care. He has dementia, so can't handle his own money, but Karen believes he will outlive his money. She's worried, thoough, that his portfolio is overinvested in stocks.
"My aunt is 92 years old and recently bought $600,000 in variable annuities with surrender fees that would make you cry," Karen said. "But on the positive side, she is in the same skilled care facility as my father, and it's a wonderful surprise for him every day to see her there."
Biggest fear: Not being able to put her daughters through college, including graduate school.
Advice from NAPFA's planners: Karen is in a classic "sandwich generation" dilemma, and she should work with her advisor to create a consolidated plan that addresses the entire family's financial concerns. She should examine the cost of her dad's stock trades and consider whether they are worth it.
The NAPFA national conference took place May 8 through 11 at the Hilton Chicago. For those who didn't attend the event, NAPFA National 2012 can be followed on Twitter at www.twitter.com/NAPFA, or at #NAPFA2012.

The Basics of the Android Studio Code Editor
|Table of Contents
|Testing Android Studio Apps on a Physical Android Device
|An Overview of the Android Architecture
Developing applications for Android involves a considerable amount of programming work which, by definition, involves typing, reviewing and modifying lines of code. It should come as no surprise that the majority of a developer's time spent using Android Studio will typically involve editing code within the editor window.
The modern code editor needs to go far beyond the original basics of typing, deleting, cutting and pasting. Today the usefulness of a code editor is generally gauged by factors such as the amount by which it reduces the typing required by the programmer, ease of navigation through large source code files and the editor's ability to detect and highlight programming errors in real-time as the code is being written. As will become evident in this chapter, these are just a few of the areas in which the Android Studio editor excels.
Whilst not an exhaustive overview of the features of the Android Studio editor, this chapter aims to provide a guide to the key features of the tool. Experienced programmers will find that some of these features are common to most code editors available today, whilst a number are unique to this particular editing environment.
The Android Studio Editor
The Android Studio editor appears in the center of the main window when a Java, XML or other text based file is selected for editing. Figure 7-1, for example, shows a typical editor session with a Java source code file loaded:
Figure 7-1
The elements that comprise the editor window can be summarized as follows:
A – Document Tabs – Android Studio is capable of holding multiple files open for editing at any one time. As each file is opened, it is assigned a document tab displaying the file name in the tab bar located along the top edge of the editor window. A small dropdown menu will appear in the far right hand corner of the tab bar when there is insufficient room to display all of the tabs. Clicking on this menu will drop down a list of additional open files. A wavy red line underneath a file name in a tab indicates that the code in the file contains one or more errors that need to be addressed before the project can be compiled and run.
Switching between files is simply a matter of clicking on the corresponding tab or using the Alt-Left and Alt-Right keyboard shortcuts. Navigation between files may also be performed using the Switcher mechanism (accessible via the Ctrl-Tab keyboard shortcut).
To detach an editor panel from the Android Studio main window so that it appears in a separate window, click on the tab and drag it to an area on the desktop outside of the main window. To return the editor to the main window, click on the file tab in the separated editor window and drag and drop it onto the original editor tab bar in the main window.
B – The Editor Gutter Area - The gutter area is used by the editor to display informational icons and controls. Some typical items, among others, which appear in this gutter area are debugging breakpoint markers, controls to fold and unfold blocks of code, bookmarks, change markers and line numbers. Line numbers are switched off by default but may be enabled by right-clicking in the gutter and selecting the Show Line Numbers menu option.
C – The Status Bar – Though the status bar is actually part of the main window, as opposed to the editor, it does contain some information about the currently active editing session. This information includes the current position of the cursor in terms of lines and characters and the encoding format of the file (UTF-8, ASCII etc.). Clicking on these values in the status bar allows the corresponding setting to be changed. Clicking on the line number, for example, displays the Go to Line dialog.
D – The Editor Area – This is the main area where the code is displayed, entered and edited by the user. Later sections of this chapter will cover the key features of the editing area in detail.
E – The Validation and Marker Sidebar – Android Studio incorporates a feature referred to as "on-the-fly code analysis". What this essentially means is that as you are typing code, the editor is analyzing the code to check for warnings and syntax errors. The colored square at the top of the validation sidebar will change color from green (no warnings or errors detected) to yellow (warnings detected) and red (errors have been detected). Clicking on this square will display a popup containing a summary of the issues found with the code in the editor as illustrated in Figure 7-2:
Figure 7-2
The sidebar also displays markers at the locations where issues have been detected using the same color coding. Hovering the mouse pointer over a marker when the line of code is visible in the editor area will display a popup containing a description of the issue (Figure 7-3):
Figure 7-3
Hovering the mouse pointer over a marker for a line of code which is currently scrolled out of the viewing area of the editor will display a "lens" overlay containing the block of code where the problem is located (Figure 7-4) allowing it to be viewed without the necessity to scroll to that location in the editor:
Figure 7-4
It is also worth noting that the lens overlay is not limited to warnings and errors in the sidebar. Hovering over any part of the sidebar will result in a lens appearing containing the code present at that location within the source file.
Having provided an overview of the elements that comprise the Android Studio editor, the remainder of this chapter will explore the key features of the editing environment in more detail.
Splitting the Editor Window
By default, the editor will display a single panel showing the content of the currently selected file. A particularly useful feature when working simultaneously with multiple source code files is the ability to split the editor into multiple panes. To split the editor, right-click on a file tab within the editor window and select either the Split Vertically or Split Horizontally menu option. Figure 7-5, for example, shows the splitter in action with the editor split into three panels:
Figure 7-5
The orientation of a split panel may be changed at any time by right clicking on the corresponding tab and selecting the Change Splitter Orientation menu option. Repeat these steps to unsplit a single panel, this time selecting the Unsplit option from the menu. All of the split panels may be removed by right-clicking on any tab and selecting the Unsplit All menu option.
Window splitting may be used to display different files, or to provide multiple windows onto the same file, allowing different areas of the same file to be viewed and edited concurrently.
Code Completion
The Android Studio editor has a considerable amount of built-in knowledge of Java programming syntax and the classes and methods that make up the Android SDK, as well as knowledge of your own code base. As code is typed, the editor scans what is being typed and, where appropriate, makes suggestions with regard to what might be needed to complete a statement or reference. When a completion suggestion is detected by the editor, a panel will appear containing a list of suggestions. In Figure 7-6, for example, the editor is suggesting possibilities for the beginning of a String declaration:
Figure 7-6
<google>BUY_ANDROID_STUDIO</google> If none of the auto completion suggestions are correct, simply keep typing and the editor will continue to refine the suggestions where appropriate. To accept the top most suggestion, simply press the Enter or Tab key on the keyboard. To select a different suggestion, use the arrow keys to move up and down the list, once again using the Enter or Tab key to select the highlighted item.
Completion suggestions can be manually invoked using the Ctrl-Space keyboard sequence. This can be useful when changing a word or declaration in the editor. When the cursor is positioned over a word in the editor, that word will automatically highlight. Pressing Ctrl-Space will display a list of alternate suggestions. To replace the current word with the currently highlighted item in the suggestion list, simply press the Tab key.
In addition to the real-time auto completion feature, the Android Studio editor also offers a system referred to as Smart Completion. Smart completion is invoked using the Shift-Ctrl-Space keyboard sequence and, when selected, will provide more detailed suggestions based on the current context of the code. Pressing the Shift-Ctrl-Space shortcut sequence a second time will provide more suggestions from a wider range of possibilities.
Code completion can be a matter of personal preference for many programmers. In recognition of this fact, Android Studio provides a high level of control over the auto completion settings. These can be viewed and modified by selecting the File -> Settings… menu option and choosing Editor -> Code Completion from the IDE Settings section of the settings panel as shown in Figure 7-7:
Figure 7-7
Statement Completion
Another form of auto completion provided by the Android Studio editor is statement completion. This can be used to automatically fill out the parentheses and braces for items such as methods and loop statements. Statement completion is invoked using the Shift-Ctrl-Enter (Shift-Cmd-Enter on Mac OS X) keyboard sequence. Consider for example the following code:
protected void myMethod()
Having typed this code into the editor, triggering statement completion will cause the editor to automatically add the braces to the method:
protected void myMethod() { }
Parameter Information
It is also possible to ask the editor to provide information about the argument parameters accepted by a method. With the cursor positioned between the brackets of a method call, the Ctrl-P (Cmd-P on Mac OS X) keyboard sequence will display the parameters known to be accepted by that method, with the most likely suggestion highlighted in bold:
Figure 7-8
Code Generation
In addition to completing code as it is typed the editor can, under certain conditions, also generate code for you. The list of available code generation options shown in Figure 7-10 can be accessed using the Alt-Insert keyboard shortcut when the cursor is at the location in the file where the code is to be generated.
Figure 7-9
For the purposes of an example, consider a situation where we want to be notified when an Activity in our project is about to be destroyed by the operating system. As will be outlined in a later chapter of this book, this can be achieved by overriding the onStop() lifecycle method of the Activity superclass. To have Android Studio generate a stub method for this, simply select the Override Methods… option from the code generation list and select the onStop() method from the resulting list of available methods:
Figure 7-10
Having selected the method to override, clicking on OK will generate the stub method at the current cursor location in the Java source file as follows:
@Override protected void onStop() { super.onStop(); }
Code Folding
Once a source code file reaches a certain size, even the most carefully formatted and well organized code can become overwhelming and difficult to navigate. Android Studio takes the view that it is not always necessary to have the content of every code block visible at all times. Code navigation can be made easier through the use of the code folding feature of the Android Studio editor. Code folding is controlled using markers appearing in the editor gutter at the beginning and end of each block of code in a source file. Figure 7-11, for example, highlights the start and end markers for a method declaration which is not currently folded:
Figure 7-11
Clicking on either of these markers will fold the statement such that only the signature line is visible as shown in Figure 7-12:
Figure 7-12
To unfold a collapsed section of code, simply click on the '+' marker in the editor gutter. To see the hidden code without unfolding it, hover the mouse pointer over the "{…}" indicator as shown in Figure 7-13. The editor will then display the lens overlay containing the folded code block:
Figure 7-13
All of the code blocks in a file may be folded or unfolded using the Ctrl-Shift-Plus and Ctrl-Shift-Minus keyboard sequences.
By default, the Android Studio editor will automatically fold some code when a source file is opened. To configure the conditions under which this happens, select File -> Settings… and choose the Editor -> Code Folding entry listed under IDE Settings in the resulting settings panel (Figure 7-14):
Figure 7-14
Quick Documentation Lookup
Context sensitive Java and Android documentation can be accessed by placing the cursor over the declaration for which documentation is required and pressing the Ctrl-Q keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-J on Mac OS X). This will display a popup containing the relevant reference documentation for the item. Figure 7-15, for example, shows the documentation for the Android Menu class.
Figure 7-15
Once displayed, the documentation popup can be moved around the screen as needed. Clicking on the push pin icon located in the right hand corner of the popup title bar will ensure that the popup remains visible once focus moves back to the editor, leaving the documentation visible as a reference while typing code.
Code Reformatting
In general, the Android Studio editor will automatically format code in terms of indenting, spacing and nesting of statements and code blocks as they are added. In situations where lines of code need to be reformatted (a common occurrence, for example, when cutting and pasting sample code from a web site), the editor provides a source code reformatting feature which, when selected, will automatically reformat code to match the prevailing code style.
To reformat source code, press the Ctrl-Alt-L keyboard shortcut sequence to display the Reformat Code dialog (Figure 7-16). This dialog provides the option to reformat only the currently selected code, the entire source file currently active in the editor or all files in a given project folder.
Figure 7-16
The full range of code style preferences can be changed from within the project settings dialog. Select the File -> Settings menu option and choose Code Style listed under Project Settings in the left hand panel to access a list of supported programming and markup languages. Selecting a language will provide access to a vast array of formatting style options, all which may be modified from the Android Studio default to match your preferred code style.
The Android Studio editor goes to great length to reduce the amount of typing needed to write code and to make that code easier to read and navigate. In this chapter we have covered a number of the key editor features including code completion, code generation, editor window splitting, code folding, reformatting and documentation lookup.

text: For residential developments to proceed to occupancy, clean treated water and sanitary sewage conveyance and treatment is required. Both services are dependent on Region of York systems and servicing allocation. Since 1996 the construction and delivery of these services have not kept pace with the market demand for residential development, and has required allocation and monitoring of servicing capacity. The Region has restricted the amount of residential development based on the available services being in place by providing servicing allocation to each municipality which are connected to the southern water system and the York Durham Sewage System (YDSS). This servicing allocation is provided by population assignments by the Region to local municipalities and converted to unit type by using a person per unit multiplier for singles, semi-detached, townhouse and apartment units.
