My daughter has PCOD and this lead to acne and weight gain that made her a recluse. No amount of medication was helping her and by the time we came to Rajshree, she had lost all hope. However, LivFit helped control her hormonal problems, PCOD and also brought her weight under control. Thanks to LivFit, my daughter is enjoying the life that she deserves.artee singh20 June, 20175.0
My PCOD lead to weight gain and acne. Basically, it was every girl's nightmare come true and I was tired of all the ointments and tablets that the doctors had placed me on. Rajshree was my last hope and I am glad that she never let me down. She gave me the right counseling and programs that I followed religiously and today, my PCOD is way better and my weight and acne problem are under control. Thank you so much, LivFit!About

Great communicative skills and very knowledgeableramasubramanian10 September, 20185.0
I started working sith Sangeetha about 4 months ago with high HbA1c (12.1) and sugar levels (360). My doctor gave me goals to be met without administering insulin. When starting i told her my food preferences and requirements clearly. Now after using 3 of her food plans for 4 months now combined with physical exercise routines my hba1c has come down to 6.5 and sugar is well within control. Her food plans were very effective and got me what i wanted. She listens to our requirements and prepares the food plan accordingly, being a thorough professional she follows up on her own without even needing to remind the time for next food plan. The money spent on these food plans is worth it. She is also flexible and does changes to the plans as per our requirements. She would also go out of the way to provide recipes and instructions. It was a pleasure working with her and i would definitely consider engaging her in the future. Best part is she does not give fancy items or foreign foods, she can give plans completely based on locally available food items and materials which i feel is the best way to go.About

Good and friendly. She has good knowledge and had tried her best to provide me a diet that suits my lifestyle. As a working woman I found it quite difficult to maintain my diet the healthiest way as I use to succumb to outside food. But Hemamalini gave a simple yet effective diet plan and educated me about different kinds of nutrient waters and cooking oil incorporation into diet which helped me to optimise me nutrient absorption capacity. She is very friendly, punctual and consistent in her follow up with her client. Hence anybody who chooses Hemamalini will surely be dealt with competant hands. I wish her the best of luck in the life.kaviyarasi24 August, 20175.0

It's no secret that SQL Server 2008 has come too soon for most SQL Server customers. Many of the organizations that I've talked with are still in the process of deploying SQL Server 2005. For those businesses, a few delays in the final SQL Server 2008 code release are actually good news. However, when SQL Server 2008 is released later this year, many of those businesses will have a decision to make: Should they migrate from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005, or should they jump directly to SQL Server 2008?
From 2000 to 2008
At this year's TechEd 2008 IT Professionals, Sheila Molnar, lead editor for SQL Server Magazine, and I asked Fausto Ibarra, a director of product management for SQL Server at Microsoft, this question, as well as a few others. Ibarra explained that in the past, Microsoft has advocated migrating from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 because SQL Server 2008 wasn't ready and the upgrade to SQL Server 2005 would let organizations take advantage of the immediate business value that SQL Server offers.
However, after SQL Server 2008 is released, customers could migrate directly to SQL Server 2008. Ibarra pointed out that migrating from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2008 will be a fully supported scenario. Customers who are still running SQL Server 2000 will be able to migrate directly to SQL Server 2008 without first having to upgrade to SQL Server 2005. This is welcome news not only for those customers who are considering migrating from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 in the near future, but also for those who won't be ready to migrate from SQL Server 2000 for some time.
New Features
SQL Server 2008 is an especially compelling release for customers still running SQL Server 2000 because it includes all the functionality found in SQL Server 2005, in addition to many new features. After you've run SQL Server 2005 for awhile, it's easy to take for granted some of its important enhancements. SQL Server 2005 introduced support for SQLCLR and database mirroring, not to mention new major subsystems such as SQL Server Integration Services, SQL Server Reporting Services, and SQL Server Service Broker. SQL Server 2008 includes an impressive collection of new features as well as a majority of the features that were originally planned for SQL Server 2005 but were cut from that release because of resource and/or time constraints.
Some of the features that SQL Server 2008 brings to the table are database compression and database backup compression; transparent data encryption; new date, time, and spatial data types; and a new FILESTREAM data type. Other important SQL Server 2008 features include the Resource Governor, which manages resource allocation for long-running queries, and Policy-based Management, which lets you enforce database and server standards across all the SQL Server 2008 systems in your organization.
Make the Jump
If you're still running SQL Server 2000, next year will be a great time to make the jump to SQL Server 2008. Direct migration is fully supported by Microsoft, and SQL Server 2008 will offer many new features that can bring a lot of value to your business.

First fine of the day? Could be going to Ndamukong Suh, the controversial Detroit defensive tackle, whose low block on an interception return wiped out a Lions' pick-six.
Early in the second quarter against Minnesota, Christian Ponder's pass for Jerome Simpson on a quick slant was deflected. The ball was picked off by DeAndre Levy and returned 34 yards for an apparent touchdown.
But the score was wiped out by a flag on Suh, who dived at the knees of Vikings lineman John Sullivan. Suh was called for a personal foul.
That moved the Lions back, and Matthew Stafford's ensuing floating pass over the middle was intercepted.

By Scott McLarty
As the new Director of the Office for Peace and Justice here in the Archdiocese of Chicago, I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be an American Catholic today concerned with peace and justice. I must confess that Rudyard Kipling's "Ballad of East and West" (1889) keeps popping up in my mind. It begins and ends with the same quatrain:
Oh, East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat;
But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face, though they come from the ends of the earth!
Oh, East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat;
But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face, though they come from the ends of the earth!
Kipling's words, originally of the British Empire, ring true in today's American political and religious climate. Rather than East and West (India and Britain), hear right and left, conservative and liberal, us and them. We live in an either/or nation ideologically divided and increasingly incapable of civil public discourse. Next-door neighbors, divided by two-party politics or the culture wars, might as well "come from the ends of the earth!"
What of these same divisions within the Church, with our pew-mates? Can we tolerate in our parishes what we tolerate in our politics? Are we willing to allow theological divisions within the Church which are neither peaceful nor just? Are there conservative Catholics and liberal Catholics and "never the twain shall meet?" All too many of us manipulate our theology to fit our politics. The result: we are often unjust toward and not at peace with our fellow Catholics. We are "more Catholic" than they. My theology conforms to the Gospel or Church teaching more than his. Our moral stance is superior to theirs.
Certainly, there are those with bad theologies and distorted moralities, but that should never be an occasion for pride. Rather we must respond with charity in truth. "Truth, in fact, is lógos which creates diá-logos, and hence communication and communion. Truth, by enabling men and women to let go of their subjective opinions and impressions, allows them to move beyond cultural and historical limitations and to come together in the assessment of the value and substance of things." (Caritas in veritate sec. 4) In other words, when we approach each other through the lens of our secular politics (i.e. "subjective opinions and impressions and our cultural and historical limitations") rather than truth, we stifle communication and communion. But when we come together in a common search for truth, we can find that though it may seem that "East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet," the truth is, "there is neither East nor West," just strong Catholics standing "face to face, though they come from the ends of the earth."
Wednesday, July 20, 2011 9:26 PM
I love that statement that we should be "just strong Catholics standing face to face." The teachings of the Church are such a blessing and yet we do tend to distort them to fit our own political or personal ideologies. If every man actually knew the social doctrine of the Church how different this world would be. Scott I am excited that you are the new director for the Office for Peach and Justice, and I will be praying for the mission of your office, a mission rooted in the authentic social doctrine of the Catholic Church!Oh, one last comment, another person mentioned that none has the answers, we can look to one person, Christ and the Church He left us, if we could all live our lives based on the moral AND social (justice) teachings of the Church we could live a life of perfect harmony with each other, but as usual original sin gets in the way.
— Devin J.
Tuesday, July 19, 2011 12:24 PM
I agree. I am shocked at how cynical and mean some people have become in their civil discourse. It does nothing but continue to polarize the debate. I try to remember that we are all "children of Christ" when talking about explosive issues, to try to remind myself to keep an open mind, and to try to learn from others point of view, even if I disagree with them.
— Mary N.
Tuesday, July 19, 2011 6:45 AM
What Jesus seemed to care most about is what we do, not what we say. The key to bringing Catholics (and others of good will together) is to find things we can DO to help bring about the kingdom of God "on earth as it is in heaven" as Jesus taught us to pray. That is neither a liberal nor a conservative idea. "Which of the two sons did the will of the Father," Jesus asked. "The one who DID what he was asked to DO" was the correct answer. We Catholics can fight all we want about theology and liturgy and ecclesiology, but we will be judged on what what we DO (or DON'T DO) for the world, especially, it seems, for the poor and the oppressed.
— Greg P.
Monday, July 18, 2011 12:45 PM
I think, as a Catholic, we must tolerate differing views, for the very reason you speak of...we are in a search for truth. I think there in lies the problem with civil discourse...it no longer seeks truthful, honest answers to issues facing us, but rather each side seeks to enforce its side in the guise of doing the greater good. I think, guided by the Holy Spirit, our church must have differing views, but we must all keep in mind, none of has the answers, we can only do what we are guided to do by the Holy Spirit.

Shopper at Hooksett Market Basket: 'It's gone on too long'By MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader
August 22. 2014 6:54PM
HOOKSETT — Amid a flurry of reports that Market Basket's board would meet this weekend to consider final offers to buy the supermarket chain, the only car moving in Market Basket's parking lot at one point Friday was a red Jeep belonging to a man teaching a teenage girl how to drive.
But that could be changing soon.
The governors of Massachusetts and New Hampshire late Friday released a joint statement about a pending resolution to the Market Basket stalemate.
"In briefings today, all parties report that they are optimistic that an agreement will be reached to sell the company to Arthur T. Demoulas and to restore him to operating authority on an interim basis until the sale closes. Subject to reducing their agreement in principle to writing by Sunday, the Board will forestall taking adverse employment action against the employees who have abandoned their jobs. We are hopeful that employees will return to work, and the stores will reopen, early next week," according to Gov. Maggie Hassan and Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick.
Inside the Hooksett store, the lone checkout clerk, Riley Curren of Hooksett, sat atop a row of shopping carts, waiting for a customer to show up at the store to pay for groceries.
"If a person comes through with a smaller order, it might be 10 or 15 minutes before we see a person (again)," Curren said.
Assistant Store Director Kim O'Brien said she never witnessed until recently what has become a daily occurrence: a de facto driver's ed practice testing area in the normally bustling parking lot left empty by boycotting customers supporting store employees who want back their ousted boss. Former CEO Arthur. T. Demoulas planned to submit a final offer Friday to buy a controlling stake in the company.
Business at the Hooksett store is down 98 percent compared to normal, leaving "a lot of space to utilize for that learning," she said. "From a managerial standpoint, I want my parking lot full (with customers) again."
O'Brien checked in with the 29 part-time workers she normally schedules to see who plans to return if Arthur T. Demoulas retakes control.
"Seven employees have gotten jobs between Hannaford, Shaw's and an Irving gas station, and all are coming back," O'Brien said.
Twenty others also said they would return while one got a job at a Mercedes dealership and another worker returned to college and hasn't responded, she said.
For the past few weeks, all 297 part-time workers at the Hooksett store got no scheduled work hours after store directors were ordered to better match payroll with their withering cash register receipts.
Meanwhile, boycotting customers have taped near the entrance their cash register receipts from competitors. Lost revenues from two customers: $59.07 spent at Wal-mart and another $63.80 given to The Fresh Market.
Most aisles at the Market Basket store just off Interstate 93 — one of about 30 Market Basket stores in New Hampshire — remained stocked with dry goods and frozen foods. The are no baked goods.
On Friday, people couldn't order a freshly made pizza, but they could buy a frozen one. They wouldn't find a pork chops or chicken leg but could buy ham and kielbesa.
Two customers who normally shop at the Market Basket in Somerville, Mass., were driving to the Lakes Region and stopped in Hooksett to stock up on supplies.
"I really didn't want to come in," said one woman, who didn't want to give her name. "I don't want to feed the greed, but she does."
Her friend said she supports Arthur. T. Demoulas and wants the stores to return to normal.
"It's gone on too long," said the second woman, who also would not give her name.
Curren, manning the register in the absence of part-timers Friday, normally is in charge of ordering and stocking items in Aisle 5, including juices and canned vegetables. He said he won't remain working at Market Basket if a conglomerate buys the chain.
"Personally, I would have no reason to stick around," he said.

LISTDATA (Jan96) xanadu.xronos LISTDATA (Jan96) NAME listdata -- List on the screen the content of the input file. USAGE listadata file(s)+options window DESCRIPTION This task lists on screen a summary header and the data points of input file(s) for one time series. The input file format is FITS using the BINTABLE extension. Both binned data format and event format are input. For each data point the following is printed on the screen : time associated with the bin N as fractional day, and the h:m:s:ms of that day, the integration time (set -1 for event list), count/s, error and fractional exposure (set to 1 for event list). Changing the "tchat" parameter to higher values causes the FITS header to be printed as well. To list only part of the data Phase, Intensity and Exposure windows (See WINDOW) can be used for screening. A range of data rows can be selected using the input option "frN" and "lrM" where n and M are the first and the row to be print on the screen. WINDOWS If any window is required during the analysis, a window file containing the relevant windows must be created with the application XRONWIN, before running a XRONOS task. There are 4 different types of windows : * Time Windows : consist of up to 1000 time intervals * Phase Windows : consist of an Epoch, a Period and up to 10 phase intervals * Intensity Windows : consist of up to 10 intensity in bin, newbin and interval * Exposure Windows : consist of up to 1 exposure in bin, newbin and interval Intensity and Exposure Windows can be specified independently for: (i) Bins , (ii) New Bins , (iii) Intervals. When dealing with more than one time series, Intensity and Exposure Windows must be specified separately for each series. Time and Phase windows are applied to Bins. Intensity and Exposure windows are applied first to Bins, then Newbins and finally to Intervals as specified. For time and phase windows, only those bins whose center time is within the start and stop of a time window or phase window (for a specified epoch and period) are accepted. Intensity windows must be ordered with increasing intensity and if set for newbins can be used in conjunction with "Special Newbin Windows" (see below). Exposure Windows consist of a minimum and a maximum exposure level. Units are such that 1 means 100% exposure. The Newbin Exposure is obtained by propagating the bin exposures to each newbin. For example, if in a 30 s newbin the total exposure (due to the sum of the individual exposure of the bins contributing to the given newbin) is 18 s then its exposure is 60%. The Interval Exposure is the ratio of accepted to expected newbins: for example, if a 128 newbin long interval contains only 32 accepted newbins, then its exposure is 25%. Many XRONOS application use some default exposure windows, which are designed to avoid analysing data sets which are too inhomogeneous with respect to their statistical properties. The minimum default Exposure windows in an Interval is set to 0.0 in the lcurve, efold and efsearch and to 0.5 (i.e. 50% exposure ) in all the other tasks. Note that exposures can be higher than 100% (e.g. if the newbin time is not a multiple of the bin time, then "beats" are generated which might bring the exposure of a newbin to values >100%; or if two or more input files for the same time series overlap in part, some of the newbins will be more than 100% exposed). IMPORTANT NOTE WHEN TIME WINDOWS ARE SET IN THE WINDOW FILE: The time used within XRONOS tasks is Truncated Julian Days (TJD= JD-2440000.5) if either (1) the keyword MJDREF is present in the header or (2) if the TIMESYS value is one of the following strings MJD or JD or TJD. If (2), the time values are expected to be stored as JD, MJD or TJD in the header keywords and in the TIME column in which case the MJDREF keyword is not used (it should not be present). When Time windows are set using XRONWIN, they must be compatible with the values in header of the timing keywords and/or the values in the TIME column. An additional window type called "Special Newbin Window" can be set directly from the parameter file. Special Newbin Windows are used to exclude the parts of a light curve which immediately follow or precede a burst or a background event which has been rejected by intensity windows in newbins. The Special Window operates on newbins in conjunction with intensity windows (in newbins) and are specified by changing to positive values the parameters 'spwinbefore' and 'spwindowafter'. Their use is the following: if e.g. spwinbefore is set =10, all newbins, whose center time is within 10 second before the center time of a newbin rejected by intensity windows, will also be rejected; if e.g. spwindowafter is set =20, all newbins, whose center time is within 20 second after the center time of a newbin rejected by intensity windows, will also be rejected. FILELIST and INPUT FILE OPTIONS To input multiple files for each time series, a file containing the list of files is needed (Filelist). The Filelist is input in the program as '@Filelist'. The format of this file list is ascii and contains one filename+options per line. Files from different times series are separated by '///' mark. Below is an example of the Filelist containing 2 files for 3 different times series. file1_ser1 file2_ser1 /// file1_ser2 file2_ser2 /// file1_ser3 file2_ser3 The Input File Options (up to 10) can be specified for each file in the same input string. They consist of 2 characters followed by a numerical constant (up to 8 character long). There are two groups of options. The first allows data selection within a FITS extension. The available options within this group are : frN= start reading input file from row number N (first row) lrN= stop reading input file from row number N (last row) vxN= use column number N as x-axis (i.e. time axis, default name is TIME) vyN= use column number N as y-axis (default names are COUNT or RATE) vsN= use column number N as error for y-axis (default name is ERROR) veN= use column number N as exposure (default name FRACEXP). If the input file is an event list, exposure is by default calculated using the GTI extension. In this case, N=0 turns off the usage of the GTI extension for the exposure calculation, and N > 0 specifies the GTI extension to use. feN= select data (either binned or events) from channel number N (First Energy). For an event list channel selection is made using the column named 'PHA' leN= select data (either binned or events) to channel number N (Last Energy). For event list the default column channel name searched is 'PHA'. The option 'vcN' allows the choice of a channel column name different from 'PHA' (es. 'PI'). vcN= use column number N for channel selection (valid only for event lists). rtN= use extension N of the FITS file to read the data. The first extension is N=1 (the primary array is irrelevant). To specify the extension the following also can be used: filename[N] or filename+N. of = The MJDREF keyword is not used. The time is calculated using the TIME column and the TIMEZERO keyword. The second group of options performs algebraic operations on individual input files. They are applied in the same order in which are specified. For event files they are applied after the data are binned. The available options within this group are: stX = Shift all Time in input file by X days ssX = Shift all times in input file by X Seconds muX= multiply data and errors by X (MUltiply) mdX= multiply data by X (Multiply Data) meX= multiply errors by X (Multiply Errors maX= as muX but exposure is divided by X diX= divide data and errors by X (DIvide) ddX= divide data by X (Divide Data) deX= divide errors by X (Divide Errors) daX= as diX but exposure is multiplied by X aaX= add data and errors with X (Add All) adX= add data with X (Add Data) aeX= add errors with X (Add Errors) saX= subtract data and errors with X (Subtract All) sdX= subtract data with X (Subtract Data) seX= subtract errors with X (Subtract Errors) qaX= add to data the square of data muliplied by X and add to errors the product of data and error multiplied by X qdX= as above but for data only qeX= as above but for error only Below is an example of the Filelist containing 2 files for 3 different times series where the different options are applied to the input files for different time series. file1_ser1 aa4 add to data and error 4 file2_ser1 aa4 " " " " /// file1_ser2 rt2 aa2 read 2nd extension; add to data and error 2 file2_ser2 rt2 aa2 " " " " " " " /// file1_ser3 rt2 vy4 vs5 read 2nd extension; use column 4 and 5 for Y-axis and Error file2_ser3 rt2 vy4 vs5 " " " " " " " " " " PARAMETERS cfile1 (filename(s) first series+options) [string] Input filename(s) for the first time series + options. The valid input files are in FITS format using the BINTABLE extension. Xronos tasks read for each time series many consecutive input files (up to 50). Additional flexibility is provided by Input File Options which are used to perform algebraic operations on individual input files (either on the 'times' or on the 'count' or 'count/s' values). The Input file Options are also used to select columns and rows within a FITS file. If the first character of the input string is '@', the rest of the string is taken to be a filename containing the list of input files (Filelist). The Filelist can contain filenames for more than one series. See description of "FILELIST and INPUT FILE OPTIONS". window (name of window file) [string] Filename of the xronos window file. The window file is an ASCII file and by default a standard window file is used, where only exposure windows are set. To modify the standard file or create a new file used the script XRONWIN. tchat (terminal chattiness) [integer] Set terminal chattiness: (0-4) only little information is output in running XRONOS task ; chattiness 5 is the default value; (6-7) more details on input files, windows, intervals statistics, etc.; (<8) mostly for debugging purposes. lchat (log file chattiness) [integer] Set log file and chattiness in the log file: = 0 the log file is not written; for all other values, information is written in the log file. The chattiness levels are the same as for the terminal. logname (log filename) [string] Name for the log file. The default name is xronos.log. clobber [boolean] Flag specifying whether or not a pre-existing file with the same name as that requested for an output file in the current task will be overwritten. Default value = yes. (dpath = XRDEFAULTS) [string] This string parameter gives the path to the Xronos 'defaults' directory, which contains the default '.pco' file (used for plotting) and the defaults window file 'default_win.wi'. Ordinarily, the user may leave this parameter set to the string 'XRDEFAULTS', which causes Xronos to use the environment variable XRDEFAULTS to locate these files. XRDEFAULTS is set by the mkftools script to point to the appropriate directory for the current distribution of Xronos (for FTOOLS v3.6 this is /ftools/xronos/defaults/). If the user wishes to modify these files, he or she may make and edit copies, and change the XRDEFAULTS variable appropriately using setenv, but the original files should not be changed. nser (Number of time series) [integer] Number of input time series simultaneously processed. IMPORTANT NOTE: This parameter, the values of which range between 1 and 4, can be set by the user only in the "lcurve" and "efold" tasks (it is a query parameter in these two cases). In the other tasks "nser" is a non query parameter, and should not be changed from the default setting. ipow2 (Flag if power of 2) [integer] Internal Flag used to decide if the current task must used with a power of 2 of number of points (ipow2=1) per interval or not (ipow2=0). IMPORTANT NOTE: This parameter should not be changed by the user. iavgreb (Flag if average interval) [integer] Internal Flag used to decide if the current task allows the averaging of intervals in frame and/or the rebinning of the analysis results. If "iavgreb" is set to -1 the results in an interval can not be either averaged or rebinned, if set to -2, the results in an interval can be averaged but not rebinned. IMPORTANT NOTE: This parameter should not be changed by the user. nbdf (Default No. Bins) [integer] Set an internal default value for the number of newbins per Interval. This value is used to calculate the default newbin integration time to have one interval with nbdf points. Different "ndbf" values have been set for different XRONOS task. IMPORTANT NOTE: With caution this parameter can be changed by the user. EXAMPLES 1. List the header and all the data of myfile.lc > listdata cfile1="mydata.lc" window="-" 2.

Apple Inc., caving to user outrage over faulty directions in its home-grown navigation tool, has let Google Inc.'s mapping application back onto the iPad and iPhone mobile devices.
The free Google Maps app is available in more than 40 countries and 29 languages, Google said in a blog posting. Google was widely expected to introduce its own app after the version of Apple's iOS mobile software released in September excluded its popular built-in tool.
Critics faulted Apple's new application for unreliable landmark searches, routes that get users lost and lack of public transit directions, prompting Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook to issue a rare apology to consumers. Google's map had been installed on every Apple tablet and smartphone since the iPhone's debut in 2007.
"It's embarrassing for Apple to reuse Google's map application as it suggests Apple failed to meet market expectations," said Hwang Min-Seong, a Hong Kong-based analyst at Samsung Securities Co. "This shows how much harder Apple had to push itself to come up with great innovations, only for it to end up as a big mistake."
Apple's shares slipped 1 percent to $533.80 at 9:37 a.m. in New York, while Google advanced 1.5 percent to $707.99.
IOS, Android
Tom Neumayr, a spokesman at Apple, declined to comment.
Cupertino, California-based Apple added new features such as turn-by-turn navigation and fly-over views of landscapes into its program. IOS software runs iPhones and iPads, which compete with smartphones and tablets running Google's Android operating system. Mountain View, California-based Google is also the owner of the world's most-popular search engine.
"People around the world have been asking for Google Maps on iPhone," the company said in the blog post. "Starting today, we're pleased to announce that Google Maps is here."
Apple is seeking to build confidence in iOS amid a growing battle with Google, which provides the Android platform to mobile-phone makers such as Samsung Electronics Co. and HTC Corp. for free.
Booming demand for Android-based smartphones is helping Google add share at the expense of other software providers, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said Dec. 11 in an interview at Bloomberg's headquarters in New York.
Android snared 72 percent of the market in the third quarter, while Apple had 14 percent, according to Gartner Inc. Customers are activating more than 1.3 million Android devices a day, Schmidt said.

One of the first decisions new parents face is whether or not to learn the sex of their baby. Here are two sides to the story:
No, I Didn't
"If we knew," Bill said, "we could spend half as much time picking out a name."
"If we knew," I said, "people would swamp us with pink or blue before the kid even showed up. Besides, I like a surprise."
"Me too."
And so, at my ultrasound, we didn't ask our baby's sex. I was never sorry.
True, I got sick of the question that everyone in the world seemed to ask: "Do you know if you're having a boy or a girl?" I also got sick of my smart-aleck reply: "We're definitely having a boy or a girl."
{C}But I never tired of what happened next. More often than not, people would give me an appraising squint. A once-over. A confident smile. Then out would tumble the predictions: "It's a girl. I can tell from how high you're carrying." Or "It's a boy. You don't look pregnant from behind."
Now and then, their methods were more involved. My friend Eric solemnly tied his gold ring to a chain and held it over my open palm, a tradition of his Chinese-American family. The chain swung straight, then in a circle, then straight twice more. It was settled, Eric said. I would have a boy, and later -- if I got pregnant three more times -- I would have a girl and two more boys.
My mother performed a similar ritual handed down by her English-Swedish mother. She tied my wedding ring to a piece of thread, then dangled it over my swollen belly; we held our breath. It swung straight. "Ha!" she crowed. "You're gonna have a little boy. A hairy little boy. I know it. The ring trick is always right!"
I took this with a grain of salt. Ditto for every other homespun gender-revealing test. "So why do you go along with them?" Bill asked. "Because it's fun," I said. Fun to pretend, fun to confer, and, above all, fun to have those intense little moments with everyone from relatives to supermarket clerks.
{C}Why did I prefer such moments to anything science could dish up? Maybe I wanted "a rite of passage into motherhood," as an anthropologist once told me. "Technology doesn't give you that." Good point. When a lab technician looks at a computer screen and states, "You're having a girl" or "You're having a boy," that's it. But when friends, family, or neighbors take time to predict your baby's sex, they're saying a lot more -- that having a baby is a big deal and so is becoming a parent. They want to be involved and invested in your life. In your baby's life too.
I found that unspoken pledge very comforting, since I knew almost nothing about babies and was going to need all the help I could get. Plus, I enjoyed the feeling -- also not available in the lab -- that I was part of something ancient. Probably since caveman days, people have tried to guess the sex of unborn babies ("You crave mammoth leg again, Unga-it must be girl!"). I was joining a long and colorful continuum.
As I'd predicted, our shower guests stayed away from boring pink and blue in favor of teal, gold, red, purple, and plaid. On the other hand, Bill and I did spend an awful lot of time debating names.
"We could just go with Chris or Pat," he said. "Then we'll be set either way." "We could just wait until after the baby's born and see if we're inspired." We kept debating right up until labor. At least it gave us something to talk about besides the shooting pains in my back. Then one bright spring morning, we had new things to discuss -- like how amazing it was to be actual parents. And how beautiful our baby was.
And how the ring trick had been right.
Melissa Balmain's son, David, is 4 years old.Yes, I Did
My husband was adamant: "I want it to be a surprise," he kept saying. "After the baby's born, I want to call my parents and say, 'It's a boy!' or 'It's a girl!' and have it be real news."
"But it'll be a surprise no matter when we find out," I'd shoot back. "It'll be real news whenever you make that call."
It's a perfectly logical argument, but Haywood wanted no part of it. When you're dealing with primeval feelings and ancient traditions, he said, logic is beside the point.
But my own feelings, though certainly less tied to ancient tradition, were equally primeval: This baby was growing in my body. This baby was transforming my heart. This baby was going to be one of the great loves of my life, and I wanted to learn as much about him or her as soon as I could learn it.
It wasn't about planning the nursery or buying baby clothes. I just wanted to know -- in the same way I wanted to know whether my child would have a lot of hair like Haywood's dad or my Dumbo-like ears, if he or she would be even-tempered and calm or passionate and volatile. An ultrasound couldn't tell me such things. But it could tell me whether my baby was a boy or a girl.
{C}Who cared if it was a break with ancient tradition to get a peek between the legs a few months early? It's not like we were doing anything else in any sort of ancient way. We would be having our baby in the hospital, with high-tech monitoring devices and all the pain medication I'd need to get through labor.
"You can find out and just not tell me," Haywood suggested. But I wanted us to enter parenthood in unison, so when he announced to the sonographer that we didn't want to know the baby's sex, I didn't peep -- even when the sonographer asked, "Are you sure? I've got a great view here." I nodded and squeezed Haywood's hand.
I was squeezing his hand again four months later when the doctor exclaimed, "It's a boy! What's his name?" Haywood choked out, "It's Sam," hugged me, and cried.
Four years later, expecting again, we took the same positions, but things were different. I'd had two miscarriages since Sam was born and was on bed rest with preterm labor, praying my baby would make it. So, early on I'd made up my mind: I'd find out the gender and not tell Haywood. This time there was an added urgency: If I wasn't going to have the chance to see this baby grow up, at least I could think in terms of him or her.
At my 20-week ultrasound, Haywood held up Sam so that he could see the shadowy baby waving and kicking. When the sonographer asked, "Do you want to know the sex?" I shook my head. "No thanks," I said. "We want it to be a surprise." Then Haywood left to let Sam run off some energy in the hallway and I asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?" The sonographer looked startled. "Are you sure you want to know?"
"Yes. Anything you know, I want to know."
It turns out that Haywood and I were both right. For him, the surprise was worth the wait. For me, when that sonographer said, "It's a boy!" the words sounded as magical as they had the first time I heard them: in a delivery room, four years before.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A Northern California mother suspected of attacking a 12-year-old boy she said was bullying her daughter at school may have targeted the wrong child, a sheriff's official said Monday.
Investigators have not found evidence linking the boy to the bullying allegations, Sonoma County sheriff's Lt. Steve Brown said. He said they are looking into whether another child may have harassed the girl.
"We are unable to determine if any bullying ever occurred," Brown said. "We don't know if this kid bullied this girl at all. It looks like he did not. We can't find anybody to say that he did."
The girl's mom, Delia Garcia-Bratcher, was arrested Saturday on suspicion of inflicting injury on a child after sheriff's deputies say she came to Olivet Elementary Charter School in Santa Rosa on Friday and grabbed the boy by the throat. She asked her son, who also attends the school, to point out who was bullying her daughter, the sheriff's office said.
Garcia-Bratcher's lawyer, Ben Adams, said Monday that his client is very upset over the accusation and adamantly denies attacking the boy.
"She does not deny confronting the boy and telling him to 'knock it off,' but she absolutely denies touching him," Adams said.
While Garcia-Bratcher may have broken an administrative rule by not signing in when she arrived at the school, she had every right to protect her children, he said.
"I don't know what the DA will charge her with, and if they do, we will absolutely fight it vigorously every step of the way," Adams said.
The Sonoma County district attorney's office was awaiting the sheriff's report before deciding on filing any criminal charges, a spokeswoman said Monday.
Garcia-Bratcher's children did not attend school Monday as a precaution, Adams said. He also did not know if they would return Tuesday.
"I don't want them getting harassed," he said. "They've gone through enough already."
While several students saw Friday's incident, no adults witnessed what happened, said Brown, the lieutenant. The students later told a deputy that Garcia-Bratcher threatened the boy about bullying her daughter. The school staff took photos of red marks on the boy's neck, Brown said.
On Saturday, Garcia-Bratcher came into the sheriff's office to give a statement and was briefly taken into custody, Brown said. She was later released on $30,000 bail.
"Even if some bullying did occur, that doesn't change the crime that the mother allegedly committed," Brown said.
Meanwhile, school officials also were investigating whether the girl was bullied. Officials from the Piner-Olivet Union School District gave parents a flier Monday about the incident and reminded them about the school's visitation policy.
"It's terrible when this kind of thing happens. We take it very seriously," Superintendent Jennie Snyder said. "Incidents like these are very rare, and when they do happen, we respond."

Main Features
Twin-Screw Extruders
In order to create a desity with greater operating flexibility and with greater operational control, twinscrew machinerys were developed. Twin-screw extruders can be co-rotating, counter-rotating, intermeshing or non-intermeshing in terms of basic desitys. Co-rotating, intermeshing screw desitys have dominated that scene as far as these extruders are concerned. This is because of relative ease of desity and manufacture compared to counter-rotating desitys.The screw desity of twin-screw extruders can affect operating efficiency and machinery capability. Screw components in the feed section of the barrel can be single, double or even triple fLD arrangements. With more fLDs intertwined on the shaft, the conveying Capacity of the screw is reduced but the residence time distribution is lower. This promotes a first-in, first-out movement of the extrudate. However, double- and triple fLDed screws produce more shear across the screw channel and therefore, improved processing uniformilk.

It is possible that the main title of the report Spinocerebellar Ataxia with Axonal Neuropathy is not the name you expected.
SCAN1 is a neurodegenerative disorder that is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy (SCAN1) is characterized by late childhood-onset of a slowly progressive cerebellar ataxia, followed by areflexia and signs of peripheral neuropathy. Gaze nystagmus and cerebellar dysarthria usually develop after the onset of ataxic gait. As the disease advances, pain and touch sensation become impaired in the hands and legs; vibration sense disappears in hands and lower thigh. Individuals with advanced disease develop a steppage gait and pes cavus; and later become wheelchair dependent. Affected individuals have normal intellect and longevity.

Mobility: what do you want exactly?
And how do you want to pay for it?
Reader survey We're all familiar with the imagery used to punt the mobile technology vision: a lone executive atop a hill, gazing contentedly at the limitless horizon to the sound of the skylark and the gentle rustling of trees as he communicates effortlessly with the furthest corners of the globe.
For many, however, "mobility" actually means stomping up and down the high street of a strange town looking for a wireless hotspot, or sitting on a train watching a 3G signal switch to GPRS right in the middle of that 10-meg download.
And while the reality rarely matches the ambitions of the vision, neither is there a true one-size-fits-all mobile solution. While one person may believe email to be the ultimate liberating expression of mobile applications, another might see the remote connection as nothing more than an occasionally handy conduit back to the office.
Then there's the cost. Cue heated debates about the economics of bundling and sharing minutes; the price of downloading a megabyte of data versus flat rate or so-called "fair use" deals; and, more recently, the merits or otherwise of service packages that supposedly deal with all of your communication needs in a single contract.
Well, what do you think? What would your perfect mobile service include – and how would you like to pay for it? If you fancy giving us a few minutes of your time to answer this and other questions, you can participate in our Reg reader survey right here.
You never know - your input could one day see you in a flower-filled Alpine meadow downloading a five-meg PowerPoint presentation in a state of Zen-like calm induced by the knowledge that your wallet hasn't been sucked dry for the privilege. ®

Manchester-Nashua area '9th richest' on listBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 25. 2013 10:40PM
The Manchester and Nashua metropolitan area is the ninth-richest in the country, with a median household income of $69,089, according to the number-crunchers at the Wall Street Journal website marketwatch.com.
Market Watch released its annual list of "richest cities" on Christmas Eve, with Manchester-Nashua just ahead of Napa, Calif., and in the same company as Honolulu (8th) and Anchorage (7th).
The top five cities and their median household incomes in 2012 were San Jose, $90,737; Washington, D.C., $88,233; Bridgeport, Conn., $79,841; San Francisco, $74,992; and Boston, $71,738.
The authors of the report observed that the low poverty rate of 9.8 percent in the Manchester-Nashua area, compared to 16 percent nationally, also helped boost its ranking.
"While most of the nation's richest cities have a high proportion of exceptionally wealthy households, the Manchester area is notable because so few households are poor," they wrote. "Just 2.1 percent of all households made less than $10,000 last year, among the lowest percentage in the nation."
The rankings are based on household income and poverty rates from the U.S. Census Bureau and unemployment data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics for each "standard metropolitan statistical area" (SMSA).
The Manchester-Nashua SMSA includes all of Hillsborough County. Statistics attributed to Manchester in the report actually reflect the median for a county that includes some of the wealthiest communities in the state, such as Bedford and Hollis.
The report's authors also cite the region's well-educated population, with more than 37 percent of adult residents holding at least a bachelor's degree as of 2012, a statistic that tops 90 percent of the metro areas nationwide.
No ranking of New Hampshire would be complete without reference to the state's lack of broad-based taxes. New Hampshire tax policies received favorable grades for supporting businesses.
"The WSJ report certainly helps raise the profile of New Hampshire and in this case, offers data to support what we already know: Southern New Hampshire is an attractive place to live and do business because of our highly educated workforce, as well as our business friendliness," said Lorna Colquhoun, communications and legislative director with the N.H. Department of Resources and Economic Development.
"These are important considerations to companies outside of the state looking to expand or relocate, and to the businesses already here that are planning on growing," she said.
Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas said the ranking does not reflect his experience, particularly given the high number of Manchester children on reduced-cost or free lunch in the city's public schools.
"I have to see where they get their numbers," he said,
Median household income within Manchester city limits, according to the census, was $54,320 — well below the median for Hillsborough County used in the WSJ report.
Median income in Nashua, at $65,671, is closer to the county-wide figure. Median household income in Hollis was $115,848; and in Bedford it was $105,email@example.com
