Winning, so far, in trial court, Hearst wants 2nd Circuit to clarify intern issue after new ruling
In an unusual effort to obtain federal appellate court clarification, Hearst Corp., which has been successfully defending a case over the use of unpaid interns in its publishing ventures, is supporting the plaintiffs in their request for an interlocutory appeal of a recent trial court ruling, Reuters reports.
In a Friday motion, Hearst said it won't oppose an effort by the plaintiffs in the case to seek immediate review by the New York City-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals of a May ruling by U.S. District Judge Harold Baer. He held that whether Hearst interns were in fact employees is a question for trial and declined to certify a class action.
A divergent ruling in June on the same issue in another Southern District of New York case involving a different company resulted in the unusual agreement among opposing parties in the Hearst case that a mid-trial appeal is appropriate. U.S. District Judge William Pauley ruled in a summary judgment motion last week that Fox Entertainment Group's unpaid interns were in fact employees and certified a class action.
"Hearst submits that an in-district split with respect to the legal standard in two cases proceeding concurrently justifies immediate review by the Second Circuit," the company wrote in its motion. The filing, however, called the plaintiffs' critique of Baer's decision "baseless."

They say that once in every lifetime, a person of exceptional character, charisma, wit, and wisdom is born. This person, equipped with ethereal gifts and blessed with unfathomable power, is sent down from the heavens to live among mortals as a blessing from the divine. That person will enlighten the masses, touch their hearts, move them to action in an effort to rid a sin-sick world of the evils that plague its inhabitants.
That person...is NOT Mr. Ashley Morris.
However, he did catch a glimpse of a picture of that person once, and thought the whole ordeal was pretty sweet.

Legally Blonde Movie Review
Reese Witherspoon plays the smart dumb blonde in Legally Blonde, a movie about stereotypes, overcoming stereotypes, and just getting away with being stereotypical.
Legally Blonde has been compared to Clueless countless times, but comparing them, I really do not find much in common. The plots are different, the main characters are extremely different, and the themes are different, so therefore, just about everything is different. I actually like this one a little better than that Alicia Silverstone "classic," just due to the fish-out-of-water storyline.
The movie is about a dumb blonde (or more so, a ditzy blonde) who, after being dumped by her boyfriend, decides to apply for Harvard Law School to show that she can be serious. She gets in, amazingly, and shows that she can actually practice law.
Reese Witherspoon does a wonderful job as the ditzy yet smart blonde, who is aware of the stereotype against her but really doesn't care. She does a good job of combining silliness with wit, and really dominates the screen every time she is around. This is really one of her sexier roles as well, not because of any specific content, but because of the way she works on the screen.
The script is pretty good, although not perfect. It is far above the teen comedy genre, but still shows its flaws here and there. Nevertheless, there are many funny moments throughout the film, and I never felt bored.
The only real annoyance with Legally Blonde is the murder case that makes up the conclusion to the movie. The murder itself is not focused upon, thankfully, but it is really unbelievable that a bunch of first-year interns would be working on a murder trial, and none of them would actually represent a client. This whole plot development seemed a little under studied.
Legally Blonde is surprisingly pretty good and intelligent, and this marks Reese Witherspoon's best performance to date.

Night parrot sightings!
We came across this interesting posting today about the 'Holy Grail' of the bird world:
which details this and a few other Night parrot sightings:
I have just received a report of a Night Parrot seen Skull Springs Road in Western Australia from XXXX at 21 52 15S 120 48 29E on 2/06/2010. Notes from XXXX are as follows: "I noticed the single bird fluttering next to the car, so stopped as soon as I could. It has perched a foot off the ground in a dead bush. I got my binoculars quickly only the bird, only 6-7m away. It then fluttered forward a meter or 2 to the ground and hopped once or twice, in front of me but turning it's face to observe me. The emerald back flecked with dark markings, short tail and very stocky build caused me to immediately dismiss Musk Lorikeet as an option (aside from the range). Largish head had a greyish/horn/black (slightly large) bill. A couple of centimeters larger than a Musk Lorikeet, it may have weighed twice as much due to it's large body. This bird resembled nothing else I had seen, and even with only 15-20sec (Bino) view of the bird, it is like no other parrot in the West or the whole of region. About 30-40seconds after I first spotted it it, flew/fluttered off into the spinifex, ignoring the tree about 25-30m away. I searched the spinifex for 15-20minutes."
And this: "…We were driving slowly at the time with windows down and no music playing. At 5:45pm (sunset was at 5:27pm), 3 fast-flying birds crossed our track about 5-10m in front of our car. They were roughly 1.5m above the ground. I hesitantly said "Night Parrots" and David agreed. The habitat in the direct vicinity consisted of a large mesa and rolling hills, with open Eucalyptus woodland and a spinifex ground cover. This site was the most productive in terms of bird diversity and abundance throughout the survey, most likely due to water availability. For example, a pair of Grey Falcons and 6 Ground Cuckoo-shrikes were observed at this location on May 28th. The birds in question appeared to be coming from a large eucalypt-lined watercourse at the base of the mesa, almost perfecting in line with 2 small pools of water in the creekbed. The direction they were heading was towards rolling hills dominated by spinifex, with very few trees (mainly Eucalyptus and dead shrubs).

Long live the Night Parrot!

Is there a command (either a command line option, or a navigation command) to display the number of frames per second of the playing movie?
I am testing to see if my computer is slow (ie running at less than 30 fps) or if the video was sampled poorly.
Note: I did try to 'google it', but googling for 'mplayer' and 'fps' returns how to set the desired number of frames per second.

The F4U Corsair, designed by Vought and produced by that firm, as well as, Goodyear and Brewster Aeronautical Corporation, would not only rack up an impressive 11:1 kill ratio against its foes in WWII, but go on to serve through the Korean War as well. The iconic inverted gull wing of the aircraft, along with its distinctive whistling sound made the Corsair unmistakable to friend and foe alike. The Corsair was remarkable not only in serving the US Navy and Marine Corps in two wars, but also remaining in production through 1952. The Corsair was also the mount of some of the nation's most distinguished aces, including Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, Ken Walsh, and Tom Blackburn. Through carefully researched photos, many of which have never before been published and which are reproduced in remarkable clarity, the history and details of this iconic aircraft are revealed. Part of the Legends of Warfare series.

David Doyle's earliest published works appeared in periodicals aimed at the historic military vehicle restoration hobby. This was a natural outlet for the collector, whose collection includes ten Vietnam-era vehicles. By 1999, this included regular features in leading hobby publications, appearing regularly in US, English, and Polish magazines. Since 2003, over 100 of his books have been published. While some concern aircraft and warships, volumes on military vehicles, meticulously researched by David and his wife Denise, remain the genre for which he is most recognized. This recognition peaked in 2015, when he was presented the coveted Bart Vanderveen Award by the Military Vehicle Preservation Association, given in recognition of, "… the individual who has contributed the most to the historic preservation of military vehicles worldwide."

How to Repair Holes in Window Screens
A small hole in a screen makes an open window an invitation for flies and bugs to enter your home. If replacing the screen sounds unappealing, you can instead patch the screen. Patches require minimal labor and no special skills to complete, while still making your screen impenetrable for bugs. A patched screen doesn't look as nice as a full replacement, but it takes less time if you need a quick or inexpensive fix.
Trim any loose wires from the tear or hole so it has a clean edge. Use sharp scissors to trim both nylon and wire screens.
Measure the width and length of the trimmed hole. Add two inches onto each measurement to determine the size of the patch.
Measure and cut the patch from a length of screening material. Wear gloves when handling wire screen, because the cut ends of the wire are sharp and can cause painful pricks.
Unravel a length of wire from an extra piece of wire screening. Substitute a length of sturdy nylon thread on a needle if you're using a nylon screen instead of wire screening.
Set the patch in place, centering it over the hole. Sew it onto the surrounding screen using the wire or nylon thread. Twist the ends of the wire together once the patch is completely secured on all sides, or knot the nylon thread. Trim of any hanging thread or wire.
Things Needed
- Scissors
- Measuring tape or ruler
- Screen material
- Gloves
- Nylon thread
- Needle
- Use the same type of patch as your original screen material so the repair isn't as obvious. For example, use wire patches on wire screens and nylon patches on nylon screens.

How ERISA is applied to health, welfare and pension plans can mean shifts in billions of dollars' worth of responsibilities that impact millions of individuals and organizations. Enacted in 1974, this federal law regulates nearly 681,000 U.S. retirement plans, 2.3 million health plans, and about as many other welfare plans such as life and disability plans. All told these plans cover some 143 million workers and dependents (Source: DOL).
Given increasing pressure to have the law's requirements apply – or not apply – to various plans, it is critical to understand the potential impact on your organization and to take steps to mitigate risk.
In three class actions recently heard by the Supreme Court, for example, thousands of employees claim they face pension shortfalls in the hundreds of millions of dollars because their employers operated their plans as church plans, which are exempt from ERISA funding levels.
In addition, experts say we can expect increased ERISA-related litigation against employers and their boards of directors and officers – as both corporate entities and personally as individual fiduciaries ERISA plans. The issue is a big one in the education and financial sectors, too, with class actions pending against large universities and banking institutions related to their defined contribution plans.
What does all this mean for employers? How can companies and their attorneys better protect board members and officers from personal liability? How can companies remain compliant with ERISA's various requirements?
Join our panel of ERISA specialists as they discuss:
Health & Welfare Liability Outlook:
- Emerging Claims and Risk
- Claims Against Boards of Directors and Officers
- Personal D&O Liability
- Health Savings Accounts
Current Trends in ERISA Litigation:
- University 403(b) Class Actions
- Church Plan Exemption Class Actions
- Class Actions Focused on the Financial Sector on the Expansion/Confusion over Available Remedies
Best Practices for Protecting Your Board, Officers, and Fiduciaries:
- Proper Delegation from Board to Fiduciary Committee
- Indemnification
- Annual Fiduciary Training

Workfare and crime: evidence for Argentina
This paper investigates the effect of introducing a massive workfare program on property crimes. In order to circumvent the endogeneity problem common to joint factors determining crime and demand for workfare we make use of instrumental variables. We exploit two special features. First, the program was assigned according to political criteria which were trying to attract provinces and/or counties who were aligned with the national government. Second, the program was grant in mid-2002 and closed afterwards, so there were no new-comers to the program. We use political affiliation of different level of governments as instrument for the number of workfare programs per capita and find that the program reduced property crime but had no effect on other kinds of crime. The paper represents a contribution to the crime literature, since this issue has not been explored. If workfare programs have an effect on crime, then the welfare effect is different from the one often calculated in the literature.

In my previous blog I told you I visited Marina Rinaldi when I was in Como for my holidays. I was lucky because they still had some sale items left. My eye fell on this red daisy dress and that day it was so hot in Como that it felt great to wear something 100% cotton on your body. I guess that makes this a perfect dress for a perfectly hot summer day. It fits loose and has pockets and if you prefer you can button it up all the way. At home I tried to belt it but no… this dress just doesn't need it. Just wear a little red bag cross body and you can give a little accent to your curves. I styled it with a pair of old River Island heels but if you want to wear it casual a pair of white sneakers go great with it as well.
We spoke the same language: fashion!
This was my first purchase ever at Marina Rinaldi, my budget unfortunately doesn't allow me to buy at full price but it's a really nice high end label. Clothes that fit perfectly, are very feminine and made with real craftsmanship. Also the sales lady at the store was so lovely and helpful and let me try on a lot of things, and although she didn't speak much english we spoke the same language: fashion! I also tried on a beautiful red wrap dress and it was 1 size too small, still so sad about it… it keeps haunting my mind that one… but okay, you can't have it all, right?

OnLive - It Actually Works
When OnLive was first announced, I was extremely skeptical. I remember the demonstrations of the Infinium Phantom at E3 in 2004 where rather than actually streaming a game to the system, the developers had hidden PCs behind boxes and were just playing right off of those. So when OnLive came along and said cloud gaming.
The service has recently announced that not-only is the beta free to try, but that they're also doing away with the monthly subscription model. The only thing you'll have to pay for are the games. Seeing that I had nothing to lose I thought I'd give it a try, on a non-gaming computer, and see if it stood up to scrutiny.
It worked.

Behind the Mayhem, the Black Friday Phenomenon Is a Symptom of our Dismal Economy
LEVITTOWN, PA: Amarilis Aponte arrived at Wal-Mart at 6pm on Thanksgiving Day to stake out a spot in line for a discounted PlayStation 3 for her four kids. After losing her job last week as an assistant at a brokerage firm in the area, Aponte was determined to get the best price for the special Christmas present she had promised them.
Besides the gaming console, she was in search of bargains on necessities—underwear, T-shirts and socks. "They'll be getting less than they did last year," she said.
Two-and-a-half years since the official end of the recession, American families are still suffering from unrelenting unemployment, the disappearance of their home equity, and stagnating wages. As a result, their spending—which drives 70 percent of our economy—has failed to recover to the levels needed to fuel business growth and rehiring.
Surveys show that consumer confidence plummeted last quarter to the levels of despair experienced during the financial crisis. While spending picked up over the same period, it was driven by a draw-down in savings, as income stagnated. As a result, consumers still are not in a position to provide the purchasing power the economy needs to rebuild.
"Until the U.S. begins to see robust improvement in jobs and signs of recovery in the housing market, we believe consumer spending will likely continue to be soft and uneven," said Target Chief Financial Officer Doug Scovanner on a Nov. 16 call with investors.
With her Christmas list in hand, Donna Wermuth of Levittown maneuvered her cart through the jammed Wal-Mart aisles on a quest to find a Dora the Explorer t-shirt, a Bissell vacuum cleaner and other gifts that her four children and seven grandchildren have asked for this year. "This is so nerve-wracking," she said as she made a quick right turn during a break in traffic.
Wermuth, a Black Friday veteran, budgets all year long to stretch her paychecks so she can provide a nice Christmas for her family. This year, saving got tougher as her wages at a local manufacturing plant were cut by a third, and her husband, a plant manager, took a 20 percent reduction in pay. Neither are in a union.
According to an analysis by the Economic Policy Institute, inflation-adjusted wages have fallen across the entire wage distribution in the last year, following widespread declines in 2009. The median wage has fallen from $16.22 an hour in 2009 to $15.67 an hour in the last twelve months through September.
This drop in wages not only creates extreme stress for families like the Wermuths, it also imperils economic recovery. "With slow wage and salary growth, consumer spending will be on a sluggish trajectory," Michelle Meyer, a Bank of America economist, told Bloomberg News.
Wermuth feels the impact of anemic consumer demand at work every day where she makes springs for products ranging from light bulbs to pogo sticks. She has seen her workplace shrink from 62 people to just 5 in two years as their job orders declined from a couple hundred a month to 10 or 15. Wermuth has had to take off more than a week from work in the last few months because the plant couldn't afford to keep the electricity and water running.
"I just hope at the first of each month when the bills are due that we have enough to pay for it all," said Wermuth, who will make about $35,000 this year.
Since January, she and her husband put aside a portion of their paychecks so they would have $1,000 to spend on holiday presents for the family over the coming weeks. "There's no exception. We put it away whether we have it or not."
While wages are falling and 25 million Americans unable to find the full time work they are seeking, economic stress continues to torment families four years after the Great Recession began. With the payroll tax cut and unemployment insurance set to expire at the end of the year unless Congress takes action, the prospect of even greater hardship is right around the corner. Yet there are still some families that are feeling a little economic relief this holiday season.
At the checkout counter, Patricia Flagg of Fairless Hills stood by her mostly-empty cart holding only a container of coffee grounds and some pajamas for her kids who are 12 and 15. Even though other shoppers had beaten her to the sales, she was hopeful for a better Christmas than last year when her husband, a construction worker, was unemployed and she had only part-time work.
Now, Flagg is working full time in administration at the local school district and her husband is back to work as well. "So we're anticipating a better year for us," she said. "I remember when things were tough and we didn't spend so much. Last year was horrible."

Machzike Hadath Synagogue
The Chevra Machzike Hadath was founded in 1891 and was made up principally of members of the Machzike Shomrei Shabbat Synagogue in Booth Street, Spitalfields and the North London Beth Hamedrash in Newington Green Road.
The first Rav of the community was Rabbi Avraham Aba Werner (1837-1912). He was succeeded by Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaKohen Kook who was Rav from 1916 until he left in 1919 to become Chief Rabbi of Eretz Yisroel. The search for a successor took a long time and it was not until 1932 that Rabbi Yechezkel Abramsky was appointed. He left to become senior Dayan of the London Beth Din in 1935.
As the Jewish population migrated from the East End post-war, the membership declined but it was not until 1975 that the Spitalfields premises were eventually sold. In 1956 a branch of the synagogue had been opened in 215 Golders Green Road in the home of Rabbi Simcha Lopian (1900-71) who was appointed as Rav. With the gradual decline of the attendances in the East End through the 1960s this branch functioned as the Machzike Hadath Synagogue.
When the new building was opened in 1983, Rabbi Dr. Ephraim Yehuda Wiesenberg (1910-2000) served as Rabbi of the community. He was succeeded in 1986 by the current incumbent, Rabbi Chaim Zundel Pearlman, a great-grandson of the famed Kamenitzer Maggid, the first and only maggid of the Federation of Synagogues. The Machzike Hadath became fully affiliated to the Federation of Synagogues in 1999.

Rent a Bentley in Paris
Bentley offers a different image for you in Paris than perhaps a sportier car would. The Bentley has a powerful and sporty engine ensuring a rapid acceleration, but its more stately appearance gives it a low key feel to that of a flashier sports car. For some this is the perfect car hire for Paris as it denotes your taste in the optimal luxury that is truly Bentley.
With an extraordinary design that characterizes the handcrafted interior and overwhelming power as British aristocrat, the Bentley allows you to arrive in style at any theatre, opera, fashion, or business meeting.
Fully equipped the Bentley offers all the latest technology including GPS navigation, but for those who enjoy pleasure consider hiring a chauffeur to take you around the city.
If romance is on your mind in this city of love, hire the Bentley GTC with convertible top. You can enjoy the city of lights in the evening as the wind flows through your hair after a meal and wine.
Following here all our Bentley available to rent in Paris:
Bentley GTC rent, Bentley GT rent. If your favourite Bentley model is not in the list ask for a quote anyway and we will do our best to get that for you!

As 2011 gets underway, we would like to take a moment to look back at 2010, and celebrate with you a year of success, progress, impact and excitement at AFC.
While conflict, greed, corruption, negligence and natural disasters may have been at the forefront of the world's media headlines throughout 2010, we also witnessed inspiring stories of hope, determination, action and positive change around the world. We would like to think that AFC has been and continues to be at the forefront of leading a story of positive change and impact through what we do and know best - creating awareness about and celebrating our natural world through our art.
To advance AFC's mission of supporting the environment through art, increasing awareness in our communities about the work we do is critical. We have made a major push over the past year to develop the infrastructure and strategy to support our member efforts and significantly grow our visibility online and offline.
Our first virtual exhibit opened on October 22nd and closed on December 31, 2010. We integrated innovative new features that provided artists with the opportunity to record and embed video clips describing their exhibited works as well as an experimental technology that provides the artist with the option to record audio clips through a simple secure web form and computer microphone. Most notably, the virtual exhibit provides a sense of scale and context with virtual artworks mounted on virtual walls.
For the adjudication process of the exhibit, we created a remote art jurying system that is set to revolutionize a very traditional and non-inclusive approach to jurying art exhibits. This approach met with great approval from all involved and opened the door to jurors from around the world, without the need for a traditional "jurors-in-a-room-with-a-projector" approach.
The press release announcing the 2010 AFC virtual exhibit was picked up by 96 North American news outlets including USA Today, MSNBC, and Reuters, and we landed six feature stories in Western Canada.
Please visit our media centre on the new AFC website to read and view the coverage.
In November, with the support of the Houston Zoo, the American Museum of Natural History, the Mountain Gorilla Veterinarian Project and UC Davis, AFC completed its 11th Flag Expedition - with Stephen Quinn, joined by yours truly - to study the endangered Mountain Gorilla, tell the story of its conservation, and retrace the steps of famed artist/explorer Carl Akeley. Thanks to the generous support of the American Museum and its Chair Lewis Bernard, AFC will be producing a pilot documentary film featuring the expedition.
The press release announcing this flag expedition was picked up by 103 news outlets across North America including ABC, CBS, Wall Street Select, MSNBC, and Reuters, and we were featured in the New York Times (twice), BBC World Radio, Global TV, and several television and radio shows in western Canada. Please visit our media centre to read and view the coverage.
In addition, we created two new awards: the People's Choice and Environmental Statement award, and released the first annual Environmental Calendar in partnership with Wildlife Conservation Society as well as the first annual greeting cards series.
Our vision today is more important than ever: to lead a global artistic movement that inspires individuals and organizations to preserve and sustain our natural heritage by uniting the talent and passion of our members. Without our members and our supporters, we wouldn't be able to do this work and as such, we extend our gratitude to each and one of you for working together with us as leaders of this movement.
Wishing everyone a healthy and prosperous 2011 full of happiness and inspiration.

Common Names
- Yoga
For Patients & Caregivers
What Is It
How It Works
Studies have shown that yoga can be helpful for patients with irritable bowel syndrome, asthma, diabetes, migraine headaches, depression, and anxiety. It is also practiced for weight maintenance. Cancer survivors including those recently diagnosed reported better sleep, less stress, and improved mood and quality of life with the practice of yoga. Among less active cancer survivors, a restorative yoga practice may be easier to maintain, and also have benefits. Regular practice also increases benefits.
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and Society of Integrative Oncology (SIO) recommend yoga for anxiety, stress reduction, depression, mood disturbance, and improved quality of life in cancer patients.
Purported Uses
Many clinical studies indicate that yoga can reduce anxiety.
Some studies have linked yoga to reduced depression and positive mood.
Breathing difficulty
Small studies show that yoga may help problems such as shortness of breath and anxiety in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer. More research is needed.
Many studies indicate that yoga can help reduce fatigue in both cancer patients and survivors
Hot flashes
Small studies show that yoga may be effective in cancer patients who have hot flashes and related symptoms.
Yoga was shown in some studies to relieve pain.
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Several yoga programs for survivors of war and natural disasters show it may be possible to use this practice in certain populations with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Sleep quality and sleep medication use
A large study of a specific yoga program showed improved sleep quality and less sleep medication use in cancer survivors with sleep problems.
Several studies support use of yoga for reducing stress.
Is It Safe
- Side effects from yoga are rare. However, blood clots, nerve damage, torn ligaments and difficulty breathing have been reported.
- Musculoskeletal effects including osteoarthritis, chronic back, neck or shoulder pain, tendon shortening or sciatica were associated with hand-, shoulder- and head stands; and following yoga self-study without supervision.
- Pregnant women and individuals with hypertension or glaucoma should use caution when practicing certain yoga postures.

Clinical Summary
Yoga was first described in the Vedic texts of India and has been practiced over several centuries. It is an integral part of Ayurveda, the traditional healing system that originated in India. Major components of yoga include regulated breathing (pranayama), moving through various postures (asansas), meditation (dhyana), and optimal coping principles (swadhyaya) (1) to cultivate physical and emotional health, and spiritual growth, with self-realization as a core intention. Many styles of yoga encompass some or all of these components. In the United States, most practices focus on postures, meditation, and breath control (2).
Yoga is helpful in reducing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (3), irritable bowel syndrome (4), asthma (5), and drug-resistant epilepsy (6). It also has shown benefit for weight maintenance (7), diabetes (8), migraines (9), low back pain (10) (48), depression (11) (12) (49), and anxiety (4) (11) (13) (14) (15) (16). Long-term yoga practice was reported to have beneficial effects on inflammation in adults with metabolic syndrome and high-normal blood pressure (50). Other evaluations suggest yoga is beneficial in those with arthritis (46) and post-traumatic stress disorder (14) (17) (18) (47). Yoga may improve symptoms and quality of life in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (16); and as an adjunct to pulmonary rehabilitation, contributes to improvements in dyspnea for COPD patients (1). For adolescents and young adults with difficult disease states, clinicians have also noted that yoga can return a sense of control to one's experience (4) (19).
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (52) and Society of Integrative Oncology (SIO) (53) recommend yoga for anxiety, stress reduction, depression, mood disturbance, and improved quality of life in cancer patients. It is widely available in many cancer centers across the country, and patients now use this modality at all disease stages to relieve various symptoms (20) (21) (22) (55). The ability of yoga to reduce stress, increase sense of well-being, improve quality of life, and impart more restful sleep in both newly diagnosed and long-term cancer survivors is well documented (2) (23) (24) (25) (26) (27) (28) with the potential for reduced need for sleep medications (28) (29). Yoga practice during chemotherapy resulted in modest short-term benefits in sleep quality, with long-term benefits emerging over time (51). It was also reported to reduce fatigue in patients with different types of cancer (56), as well as in cancer survivors (57). Furthermore, studies in breast cancer survivors indicate that yoga improves social functioning and mood, reduces stress levels (30) (31), and can help to address a range of psychological symptoms (32). In survivors with persistent fatigue and induced or exacerbated menopausal symptoms, yoga reduced fatigue, joint pain, and number of hot flashes while increasing vigor, with benefits persisting at 3-month follow-up (22) (33). Yoga can improve quality of life in breast cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy (34). Preliminary studies in other cancers have also shown that yoga can increase forced expiratory volume in non-small cell lung cancer patients (35) and improve sleep quality in lymphoma survivors (29). Among sedentary cancer survivors, patient adherence was greater with restorative yoga compared with vigorous yoga (54).
Adverse effects associated with improper yoga practices have been reported. However, appropriate and long-term yoga practices to relieve symptoms can have additional downstream benefits, such as genetic and physiologic changes (35), as well as the ability to adhere to exercise programs or make other lifestyle changes (1). Cancer patients interested in beginning yoga should first consult their physicians. In addition, it is advisable to learn proper technique from certified instructors who have experience working with cancer patients, because survivors may have special limitations due to surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy.
Mechanism of Action
Because components of yoga practice include postural alignment and engagement of the extremities, yoga raises somatic self-awareness, educating the user of states in which the body experiences balance and calm, and identifying symptoms that may be problematic (3). The engagement of the mind, attention to comfort, and deep relaxed abdominal breathing reduces gastrointestinal symptoms by disrupting chronic patterns of functional disability and maladaptive coping strategies often experienced with irritable bowel syndrome (4).
Some studies have shown that the meditative component of yoga increases blood flow to the brain, releases endogenous dopamine, and reduces respiratory rate (6). The changes in breathing patterns that accompany various yoga practices may also alter airway hyper-responsiveness (5). Yoga postures and controlled breathing interact with both the somatic nervous system and endocrine mechanisms, thereby affecting insulin kinetics (8). Neuroplastic mechanisms for its antidepressant effects include elevated serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels (36). Yoga relieves stress and anxiety by increasing levels of the neurotransmitter gamma amino-butyric acid (GABA) (13) and improving hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis functioning (25). Improvements in fatigue, sleep disturbance, anxiety, and quality of life are also attributed to increased parasympathetic and decreased sympathetic activities, stimulation of the vagus nerve, and reduction in allostatic load which optimizes homeostasis in stress response systems (14), thereby replacing the flight-or-fight response with the relaxation response (19). By eliciting the relaxation response, long-term practice has been shown to promote mitochondrial resiliency via ATPase and insulin function upregulation and downregulation of NF-kB-dependent pathways (35).
Adverse Reactions
- Rare, due to improper practice: Hematoma (12) (37) (58), nerve damage (38), aggravation of glaucoma (39) (40), embolism (41), ligament rupture (42), spontaneous pneumothorax (43) (44) and bilateral ulnar artery thrombosis (59).
- Musculoskeletal effects including osteoarthritis, chronic back, neck or shoulder pain, tendon shortening or sciatica were associated with hand-, shoulder- and head stands; and following yoga self-study without supervision (60).
Practitioners and Treatments
Yoga classes are offered at hospitals, cancer clinics and community centers.
Cancer patients interested in beginning yoga should first consult their physicians. Because of limitations due to surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, it is also advisable to learn the proper technique from certified instructors who have experience working with cancer patients.

Sampling & Digital
May 11, 2000 - by Claude BorneLearn about sampling technique and avoid digital traps:
Sampling theory
Sampling is the digitalization process of an acoustic signal. It works by sample picking, i.e. some sound signal parts. Like in cinema, in which the illusion of movement is produced by photos working at fixed rate, the acoustic pressure of the signal is measured within regular ranges. The difference with cinema lies in the sampling rate : while 24 images per second are enough for movement illusion, digital sampling requires a higher rate for continuous sound illusion. That rate is called sampling frequency, in Hertz. The sound is accurately digitalized only with a sampling rate twice as its own frequency. Basically, any digital sample must be digitalized at 40 kHz (40000 values per second) since the human ear gets acoustic frequencies from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. On compact disk, the sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz.
an analog wave ...converted to digital!
Besides frequency, another factor influences the quality of digital sampling : resolution. Measured by bits (the basic measure for computers), the resolution tells how many values are needed to represent the measure of a sample. For instance, an 8 bit code gives 256 values for a sample, whereas a 16 bits code gives more than 65000 values. A 20 bits resolution (more than 20 million values) is needed for the audio signal to be compliant with the human ear specifications. The new Audio DVD norm requires 24 bits code, this is the future audio norm.
Sampling frequency defines the band width of a digitalized signal, while resolution influences the recording dynamic.
Sampler techniques
On sampling machine recording only one note of an instrument does not allow to play the other notes by merely modifying the playing speed of the sample (here a sample is the complete recording of a note, i.e. a "sound extract" from the instrument). The instrument timbre indeed depends on the pitch of the note played. Thus you need to pick several samples from a single instrument with various pitch and assign those samples to the differents notes of the keyboard. Velocity (the strengh you play a note on) also influences the timbre. The sampling of several different velocities is required to get a good quality. This is called multisampling. It is also useful to assign a set of percussion sounds on the different notes of the keyboard.
Whereas the synthetiser got oscillators which produce the sounds, a sampler plays the digital recording of the sound. Unless it is very long, that sound must end at some time. The problem is solved using looping which enables to repeat a sample part any time, thus giving the impression of infinite sound. The sound is played between a start point and an end point defined by the user.
Sound shaping on a sampler
Time stretching is a widespread technique on samplers and let you change the lenght of a sample without changing its pitch. For instance, when you've got a rythm loop adequate for your music but its tempo does not fit, the sampler will change the intitial tempo (and its lenght) without modifying the initial pitch. The flaws of this process can be used to create a rather different sound than the original one.
Pitch shifting is a process that changes the initial pitch of the sample without changing its lenght, for instance when you adjust a musical phrase without changing its tempo.
Re-sampling let you directly record the sampler output, getting the result after many digital internal treatments.
|Working with digital
It is usually said that digital data (sound, video and so on...) don't alter. This is partly false and there are rules to avoid data loss:
First thing to do is to choose your hardware carefully. Each analog/digital or digital/analog conversion implies sound alteration, so you must check that your work is ok on digital stages. Thus check that each machine in which the sound transits has got digital inputs and outputs. This ensures that the sound won't be modified by multiple conversions. Sound will be released the same as it was at beginning, while in anolog devices each plug and each extra meter of cable induces loss of sound quality. Anyway, check that digital input and outputs formats are the same. For instance a device with a 20 bits/48 kHz input may have a 16 bits/44 kHz output. In this case the sound will become less precise altough you still work with digital data. Thus check that any of your hardware is linked by the same I/O formats to ensure a high quality of sound. Meanwhile some devices suggest a better quality of working treatment than the input alows (For example, a 20 bits input while the hardware works with 24 bits). Why that ? Let imagine that your sound be applied to multi-effects treatment. Each of these effects need some internal treatments in the machine. As we work with digital data, let assume that an effect requires a ratio : the device must perform an approximation because it works with round numbers only. Let imagine that it should work on 8 similar effects : after several approximations, sound will be altered even digital one. Working with a higher resolution is like processing with float numbers : precision is higher. Then the sound should be less altered by effects and more faithful.
Here are some tips useful for computer based work.
Keep in mind that a computer may crash sometimes : it freezes and you can't save your work from your software anymore. Save as often as possible if you don't want to loose hours of work. Then remember that a hard disk is not completely safe. When the hard disk fails you may loose months of work. You should make a backup of your important files on another storage stuff so that you can restore your work in case you have any problem... The cheapest and one of the safiest way to backup your data consist in burning it on a writable CD ROM if you own a CD burner; It is even the easiest way to do with very big files. This process must not be taken easy because it is long, slow , tiresome work, and so on. But it is very useful in case of failure. Apart a hardware failure, a severe crash may also destroy your files, a virus might destroy your work, a wrong manipulation too... In companies, backup is done everyday. You can usually do it only every 2 weeks or month or every six month, depending on the time you are spendind on your computer. Anyway when a failure happens, usually when you are in hurry, you may get a nervous breakdown!
Last but not least, be careful on the file format you are using while saving your work. Check out that the format you use is the same quality than the one you used for recording, that there is no destructive compression, like mpeg 3 which alters the sound in order to save on the file size. If you don't know whether the compression is destructive, let suppose it is and so don't use this format. As an example, let's say you record in stereo 16 bits/44.1 kHz : don't choose any mono 8 bits/ 22 kHz format, which give you the impression of bad tuned radio reception :-) . Again, avoid 'exotic' or third party formats (which can be used by only one software) in order to work with your resulting files easily within other softwares.

The birth of this institution stems from the undaunted vision and efforts of our
Founder Mr. Jaywantrao Bhosale and Principal Advisor Dr. Suresh Bhosale. Physiotherapy
College was started with the approval of Indian Association of physiotherapy in
the year 2006. Their vision was to build a model physiotherapy College for the betterment
of physiotherapy education and cater to the needs of the people in this part of
the country. Physiotherapy is a science which aims to accelerate a patient's recovery
after illness or injury and seeks to restore and maintain physical function. It
has a role to play in all age groups and in all branches of medicine. A massive
state-of-art infrastructure to support 50 admissions with electrical instruments,
materials and the appointment of an experienced faculty has seen it to grow into
an institution of repute. We have well equipped lecture halls with state of the
art facilities. Regular continuing education programs are conducted to keep the
students and faculty abreast with the latest developments in the field of physiotherapy.
The college aims to address the physiotherapy care needs of the community while
providing the best physiotherapy education and comprehensive hands-on-training to
its students. During the 4 years course students undergo instruction in basic body
structures & organs, their function, disease, recovery and rehabilitation encompassing
the subjects of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, microbiology, pharmacology,
neurology, cardiology including general medicine, surgery, orthopedics, gynecology,
and sports medicine. Students get to examine and treat a large number of patients
which improves their clinical expertise and confidence required for their private
practice. They are introduced to various methods of assessment, diagnostic procedures,
conventional and advanced method of physiotherapy interventions such as passive
and active form of conventional exercises, skills of manual therapy like Maitland'
Mckenzie, MET and etc, neuro-physiological techniques like Bobath/NDT, PNF, Rood's,
MRP, Brunstrom movement therapy and etc. EMG Biofeedback. Physiotherapists are highly
skilled professionals and can practice the profession independently.

Where can I find a timeline roadmap?
The litmus test for a good product roadmap is that it's visual, accessible and clear enough for anyone to scan for answers to the following questions:
- What are we doing?
- Why are we doing it?
- How does this tie back to our OKRs?
The roadmap is meant to show you which areas of focus (sometimes called Themes in the Agile world) you'll be working on at various time intervals.
At ProdPad, we stick to the time horizons of 'Now', 'Next' and 'Later' (though these can be renamed) as they are more appropriate for a roadmap than a 4-quarter style or detailed release plan.
We recommend the following further reading on objective-focused roadmaps:
- How to build a roadmap everyone understands
- Myth busting: Why date driven roadmaps are not roadmaps
- How to Sell Your Boss on Roadmaps Without Timelines
- A gantt chart is not a product roadmap
- Roadmapping without dates: Build yourself a better strategic plan
- Drop Feature-based Roadmaps
- Themes: A Small Change to Product Roadmaps with Large Effects
- Agile Roadmapping: How to think big, ship fast, and always keep moving
- Timeline Roadmaps Suck: Janna Bastow's Ted Talk on Twitter
Roadmaps are Dead! Long Live Roadmaps! by C. Todd Lombardo from Mind the Product on Vimeo.
We also recommend getting a hold of Roadmaps:Relaunched on Amazon.
Essentially, we're differentiating between a roadmap and a gantt chart, which is project management functionality that we don't touch. Instead, we integrate with a bunch of great tools, like JIRA, Pivotal Tracker, Rally, etc. which do make for great project management tools!
