This is discussed at http://stackoverflow.com/a/16238476/69173, which notes that you can work around the issue by appending an explicit current-directory period. I'm willing to try to create a patch for this. It'll be a little tough to write a test case for it, though--should I include a reference to a public sftp share?

This ticket may belong under PECL->SSH2 rather than directory functions.

I've done a build of 5.6.0-dev head with ssh2 0.12 and confirmed that this bug is still present.

To clarify, this issue specifically affects the root directory, if Michael and I are seeing the same thing. Subdirectory listing works fine.

Furthermore, the ectopic manifestation of IRF-1 in breasts malignancy cells outcomes in caspase-3, -7, -8 cleavage, prevents NF-B activity, and suppresses the manifestation of substances included in the NF-B path. These data display that IRF-1 in human being breasts malignancy cells elicits multiple signaling systems including inbuilt and extrinsic cell loss of life and down-regulates substances included in the NF-B path. and to a nonmalignant phenotype displaying its growth suppressive activity.20 IRF-1 inhibits tumor development6,21-23 and the ectopic manifestation of IRF-1 results in tumor cell loss of life.24-26 We possess shown that the ectopic expression of IRF-1 in human being breast cancer cell lines outcomes in tumor cell loss of life associated with the downregulation of survivin.24 We also showed that the mixture of IRF-1 and adriamycin on the total quantity of apoptotic and necrotic cells is additive.24 Moreover, we possess Tosedostat demonstrated that the intratumoral treatment of growth bearing rodents with Ad-IRF-1 results in the inhibition of growth development in vivo in both xenogeneic and syngeneic mouse model systems of breasts carcinoma.22,24 Resected growth individuals had a predominant IRF-1-positive, survivin-negative phenotype.24 In addition, research possess shown that IRF-1 takes on a pivotal role in Fas-mediated apoptosis by IFN- in Tosedostat renal cell carcinoma cells.27 IRF-1 induction by IFN- mediates the synergistic growth cell loss of life that is observed in human being cervical malignancy cells treated with IFN- and TNF-.28 IFN-, however, induces human bladder cancer cell death by a STAT-1/IRF-1-dependent induction of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (Trek).29 Similarly IFN-30 or IFN- in combination with retinoic acid31 effects in IRF-1-mediated induction of TRAIL and following breast cancer cell loss of life. Furthermore, the caused Path elicits apoptosis in a paracrine and growth picky way in cells cocultured with these breasts malignancy cells.31 Paracrine apoptosis is inhibited by the addition of neutralizing Path receptor-Fc chimeras.31 We have proven that individual breast cancer cells contaminated with Ad-IRF-1 and subsequently cultured with Trek outcomes in apoptotic cell loss Tosedostat of life. By using neutralizing antibodies to Fas, TNFR-1, DR4 and/or DR5, we demonstrated that release of TNF, Trek, and FasL do not really show up to end up being included in IRF-1 activated apoptosis.32 Moreover, apoptosis was not observed in transwells indicating that a paracrine impact from soluble elements is not involved in mediating growth cell loss of life. Our prior research demonstrated caspase cleavage in individual breasts cancers cells that exhibit cleaved and IRF-1 bet, cytochrome c, and Smac/DIABLO were released into the cytosol also.32 Caspase-8 is likely the apical caspase in IRF-1 mediated apoptosis and siRNA against caspase-8 resulted in a statistically significant attenuation of apoptosis.32 Lately, we possess shown Cryab that the ectopic phrase of IRF-1 outcomes in the induction of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor g21 and G1 cell routine criminal arrest in individual cancers cells.33 Reduced phrase of the cyclin reliant kinases Cdk2, Cdk4, cyclin E, and the transcription aspect E2F1, had been observed in individual breasts cancers cells also.33 Cdc-2 and cyclin B1, known to regulate survivin phrase were reduced in IRF-1 revealing breasts cancers cells also. While g21 mediates G1 cell routine criminal arrest, g21 will not really play a immediate part in the down-regulation of survivin. Our data recommend that IRF-1 may straight regulate survivin manifestation.33 In this current statement, we begin to investigate the impact of IRF-1 in human being non-malignant breasts cells. We assess development inhibition and IRF-1-caused cell loss of life in nonmalignant human being breasts cells and evaluate these outcomes to breasts.

Louisville center Gorgui Dieng and Kansas center Jeff Withey will each work out for he Knicks and the Nets before this month's NBA Draft, Jared Zwerling of ESPNNewYork.com reported.
The Nets, who have the 22nd overall pick, and the Knicks, who select at No. 24, are both in need of a backup big man.
The Brooklyn Nets hope to re-sign Andray Blatche and return to him power forward—his natural position—but won't be able to do that unless they have a true understudy for All-Star center Brook Lopez.
The Knicks, on the other hand, need more than just one backup.
New York's frontcourt—a senior circuit consisting of Rasheed Wallace, Kurt Thomas, Marcus Camby and Kenyon Martin—limped to the finish line in 2012-2013, and whoever the Knicks select may end up playing significant minutes over the course of the regular season.
This year's class is deep at center, so the Knicks and Nets can still find a defensive presence at the end of the first round. Nerlens Noel, Alex Len, Steven Adams, Mason Plumlee, Kelly Olynyk and possibly even Brazil's Lucas Nogueira could be selected before Dieng and/or Withey, but both 23-year-old seniors can provide immediate defense for a contender.
After two years as a non-factor at Kansas, Withey began to add muscle to his 7-0 frame and ultimately finished his senior season averaging 3.9 blocks and 8.5 rebounds in 30.9 minutes per game. He also made 58.2 percent of his field goals, but isn't expected to be a major offensive force in the NBA.
Perhaps most significantly, Withey committed just 2.1 fouls per game as a senior, which is difficult to accomplish when you're so much bigger than your competition.
Dieng is also unpolished offensively, but also blocks shots. In 2011-2012 Dieng averaged 3.2 blocks per game, but opponents may have stopped challenging him and that figure fell to 2.5 per game as the Cardinals came away with the National Title.
Dieng didn't participate in the Draft Combine because of an ankle injury but it's hard to envision the 6-11 native of Senegal falling out of the first round.

April 7, 2008 at 7:22 am
I've been Licking the Produce for over a year now, and damn is my tongue sore. I've tried countless new fruits and vegetables. Well, you actually could count them, but I'm too lazy to go back through the archives and do that. Let's just say there have been a lot. Here are some more.
Yellow Plum
The yellow plum really did start out yellow, but turned a nice shade of red by the time I took a picture. It tasted like a plum. What I enjoyed most about the plum was that it came from Chile, which made me think of Kyle, (Hey, Kyle!) and how cool it is that blogging has allowed me to meet people in countries that export tropical fruits to the US.
Assorted Squash
Last fall I tried all of the squash pictured above – an acorn squash, a gold acorn squash, a white acorn squash and a delicata. They all tasted like squash. That's why I didn't blog about it.
In the past two months I've desperately been searching the produce section for fruits and vegetables that I haven't tried. I was hoping some mutant product of Argentina would pop up between the oranges and the apples so I wouldn't have to buy this…
A rutabaga. Anything but the rutabaga.
It's certainly not the most attractive of the root vegetables. During my previous trips to the produce section I would always spy it in the corner, between the butternut and acorn squash. It loomed over me, waiting patiently, my dark destiny. Finally, in a desperate grab for blogging material, I purchased one.
Then I let it sit in my fresher drawer for a month.
Yes, literally a month. I would open up the drawer, spot the grey, waxy, rock in the corner, and then I'd grab a peach or a pear and mutter, "I should really cook that before it goes bad." I did this week after week. Waiting. But the damn rutabaga refused to go bad. Damn you, root vegetables, and your long longevity! I looked at the rutabaga last night and realized I wasn't sure I'd know if it had gone bad. Was that white stuff a layer of wax or was it mold growing along the skin? I took out a paring knife and started to slice into it and was relieved to see that the inside of the rutabaga was a much more attractive and normal-looking orange color. So, I cracked and finally looked up instructions on how to cook rutabagas. I peeled it, cubed it, and boiled it in a skillet with some margarine, salt, pepper and a bit of chili powder and brown sugar.
It was good! I was shocked! It tasted sort of like potato. I suspect I enjoyed the meal not so much because of the rutabaga itself, but because the rutabaga served as a delivery device for the margarine, salt, pepper, chili powder and brown sugar. I've noticed there are lots of vegetables that can be used as a bland, base, filler ingredient which you eat solely so you can coat them in the tasty stuff that you really want to eat: celery and cream cheese dip, squash covered in butter and garlic, zucchini dipped in hummus. Add rutabaga to the list.
It also gave me an excellent opportunity to use my new skillet, retail value $60.00, but purchased at Marshalls for only $24.99. I walked in there looking for a pair of jeans and walked out with cookware, a huge metal wall hanging, and two pretty shoe boxes.
As for the Lick the Produce series, I might be able to hit a Mexican grocery store next week. If not, I'm going to have to look up a local Asian grocer, because I am completely out of material here. I ate a rutabaga for God's sake.

My only comment about the rutabaga is that I, like you, ignored them in the grocery store. I still have never eaten one.
On another note, I've been thinking about your steady weight. Have you ever considered going and having your body fat analyzed, not relying on your home scale? My guess is that it is lower than you think since you do so much exercise and strength-training. I bet you're more in the 24% than the 26%. Just a thought. At this point, it's not really about the weight you have, but the composition of your bones/water/muscle/fat. Most gyms and some doctors' offices have that type of scale. Or you can use the submersion method. Just a thought. Thanks for your blog.

My daughter's new favorite vegetable is Kale. (she's 13). We cut the leaves away from the ribs,discard the tough ribs. Roughly slice up the leaves, rinse in a collander. Saute some garlic in olive oil, throw in the Kale. Add about 1/2 cup water, saute till everything wilts. Add Kosher salt to taste. It's good.
Also Brussels Sprouts – trim the bottoms, take the leaves apart as you would cabbage leaves. Again, saute the garlic, add the deconstructed sprouts, about 2-3 TB water, bit of kosher salt. Finish with 1-2 TB balsamic vinegar. This was from Lidia Bastianich. It's the only way we'll eat sprouts.

Huh, I didn't realize rutabagas were actually food. I just assumed it was comic relief by groceries everywhere.
Safeway's way of saying: You may have had a hard day, but here's a silly name we've attached to this rhino dung.
It's one of those myths you're sad to see go.
Heidi • April 7, 2008 at 11:59 am
The rutabaga is very underrated. It is EXCELLENT when prepared with other roasted vegies. (Carrots, sweet potatoes, parsnips, winter squash, etc roasted at about 400 for about an hour (or until everything is fork tender). It is nice too that it lasts as long as it does in the vegetable crisper.
Kyle • April 7, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Woot woot, thanks for the shout out!
By the way PQ, did you know that Chilean produce tastes SO much better IN Chile? *hint, hint hint*
I could introduce you to a whole slew of new fruits and vegetables my friend…a whole new world, a dazzling place you've never been :)
PastaQueen • April 7, 2008 at 12:31 pm
Yeah, I've been busy doing all sorts of stuff behind the scenes. If you want to keep up on book stuff, I'm keeping most of that stuff on the book site http://www.halfassedbook.com/ so people don't get sick of it over here.

I came across a GREAT recipe this weekend & it made me think of you:
Smoked trout
Persimmon (or similar tasting fruit in season — I used kiwi fruit & it worked great)
Vinaigrette of sherry vinegar, olive oil, & shallot
You break the trout into largissh size pieces, and arrange on a bed of watercress & endive, adonring the top with the pretty fruit. Dress with the vinaigrette.
This recipe has a lot of advantages:
1. A reason to try smoked trout, which is dense, salty, delicious. I'd never before experienced this tasty food. Whole Foods has it.
2. Easy: No cooking. Minimal prep time.
3. Nutritious, low-carb, low-fat.
4. Elegant, pretty, luxurious, unusual, & guest-appropriate or for when you're just feeling fancy.
5. Inspiration to find a seasonal substitute for persimmon. Kiwi is delicious and pretty, but a really sweet blood orange, or mango, or melon might work, too.

That's a great looking skillet. Having the right tools really makes cooking a pleasure.
Nancy • April 7, 2008 at 4:02 pm
It's amazing what we find that we like! I will keep this in mind for the next time I hit the store. I'm happy that my city holds a farmers market every saturday from May until somewhere in the fall. I can get big bags of grapes for a dollar! You just can't go wrong!
emi • April 7, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Here is a list of further produce suggestions for you, in case it helps. I'm also too lazy to check out the archives, so although I've read all your Lick the Produce entries, I'm probably going to repeat something.
Dinosaur Kale (aka lacinato kale or black kale). Sautee onions and garlic, add kale, = delicious. Find at Whole Foods.
Lychee/Litchi – delicious tropical fruit. Find at Asian market or sometimes Trader Joe's. I think you might have tried this one.
Passionfruit! SO AMAZING. I tried this in Hawaii, I don't know where to get it on the mainland.
Kohlrabi – Asian market. yum yum. Looks ugly, tastes like jicama crossed with broccoli stems. aka delicious. very good raw.
then there are lots of asian greens – gai lan, bok choy, napa cabbage. . . chinese broccoli, thai broccoli. . . I get them at the farmer's market.
and japanese sweet potatoes are similar in taste to ours, but white (instead of yellow), and more delicious (and sweeter).
and watermelon radishes taste like normal radishes, but are GORGEOUS. hot pink on the inside.
That is all for now, but I know lots more :) I LOVE the farmer's market.
Cindy • April 7, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Hi PQ,
I love rutabagas…just so I can say rutabaga! I often use them in soups and stews, replacing potatoes (less starchy). Try them with a little butter, mashed, too (not margarine, PQ! Haven't you heard that butter is better, in both taste and in health?!). Sorry for the lecture, but really, butter has had a bad rap for so long that I feel the need to support it whenever I can. For a fun veggie, have you tried fennel? Roast it after slicing and coating with a little olive oil…in a hot oven for ~45 minutes. Mmmmmm! Delicious! Veggies are underrated. THey are endlessly interesting and delicious in so many ways. Keep licking the produce section!
Bethama • April 7, 2008 at 5:49 pm
If you find an Asian grocer, buy a kabocha squash and a Japanese sweet potato. I'm more than a little obsessed with both, and they're really simple to prepare – just split and roast. (You can also use the kabocha to make amazing soups.)
…seriously. More than a little obsessed.
K • April 7, 2008 at 6:36 pm
We eat that vegetable* quite often, usually mashed like a potato. It's good and warming in the winter. Actually, mashed "neeps" are a traditional accompaniment to haggis, along with mashed potato, but we often forget about the potato and just eat it as a side dish.
*This has to be the vegetable with the most varied names in English. An American rutabaga is a swede in England but a turnip in Scotland. "Turnip" in England refers to a completely different vegetable. My (English) husband and I mostly seem to call it turnip, but I'm trying not to be confusing here!
alexandra • April 7, 2008 at 7:15 pm
That is my favorite vegetable of all times! We're Irish Americans and we always called them turnips – yellow turnip as opposed to white turnips. I had no idea they were called rutabagas until I grew up – and I still resist calling them anything but turnip!
They do taste great mashed with butter – but also with a bit of bacon fat – you don't need much, but Lord it is delicious!
By the way the checkout clerks never know what it is when I buy one!
origamifreak • April 7, 2008 at 8:53 pm
Hey, I can vouch for that. I just got back from a trip to Chile a couple of weeks ago, and they DO have very nice produce! (The conference was actually about Rosaceous fruits like apples, peaches, strawberries, etc.)
But I liked the seafood the most. Caldillo de Congrio, anyone? ;-) Well, that, and of course the Pisco Sours…
origamifreak • April 7, 2008 at 8:58 pm
What I really came on here for (before getting side-tracked by Kyle's comments about Chilean produce) was to say that I did a few personal squash taste-offs last fall and came up with buttercup as the winner. Not butterNUT, but butterCUP. There is a difference. ButterCUP is way sweeter.
In fact, it was bred as a northern Midwest alternative to sweet potatoes, which apparently do not grow well there.
PastaQueen • April 7, 2008 at 9:02 pm
K just informed me that in parts of the world rutabagas are called turnips, so I guess we're both right!
starbird • April 7, 2008 at 11:09 pm
I've read the same studies and articles about health benefits of butter over margarine. Reminds reading that filter cigarettes were just as bad if not worse than regular cigarettes. I was glad I never took the filter-route before I quit entirely.
I'm so glad butter has been rehabilitated. I never ate margarine instead even during the time when butter was totally demonized, but did use olive oil in its place for several years. Now I used both olive oil and butter, sometimes mixed together.
Merry • April 8, 2008 at 2:15 am
I'm with Cindy… it's fun just saying 'rutabaga' (Yeah, well, color me easily amused ;)
You reminded me of the old Far Side cartoon about how to tell when mayonnaise goes bad. (Cartoon shows a fridge door being opened upon a shocking scene: the jar of mayo, with a bandana pulled up over its label, has just pulled a gun on the other condiments and is saying something like 'hand over all your money!')
kathy • April 8, 2008 at 4:07 am
Ok, to impress your Mexican grocery clerk, the following is in season now: mango (mahngoe), guarabana (goo are bah nah), mamey (mah mei), and maracuya (mar ah cooya) might be coming into season. Guyaba (why aaba) is always in season. That's not EXACTLY how you pronounce them but that should get you understood.
Red • April 8, 2008 at 8:46 am
My grandfather used to grow those in his vegetable garden, and when I was a kid we would walk around in his yard, pick them and eat them raw. They did have a different flavor to them, as I remember kind of onion-ey, but a little sweeter. The way you prepared them does sound pretty good, I'll have to try that.
BTW, LOVE the threaded comment thing!!
AG • April 8, 2008 at 3:30 pm
"Served as a delivery device…" hee hee. Yeah, I might need to think about how much butter and parm I'm putting on my asparagus!
Joshua • April 8, 2008 at 8:10 pm
I love rutabeggas. When I became a vegetarian and quit eating candy, people started giving me alot of fruit and vegetables in place of easter baskets, valentines, etc. So, I am the only person I know who has ever gotten a rutabegga in an Easter basket. Also, as for the last person, I'm hoping I'm mistaken, but you were picking up rutabeggas and eating them raw? They are hard as diamonds until you cook them.
Sher/ Stuckinafatbody • April 9, 2008 at 3:01 pm
I dont care if I'm right or not but upon my travels in safeway yesterday, my grocer informed me that they did not have any turnips but that I could use a rutabega and that they were pretty much the same thing. Of course turnips dont sound as appetizing as rutabega…. Mhhhh. rutabegas…..
Red • April 9, 2008 at 11:52 pm
@Joshua: Yeah, my brother and I would pick them out of my grandfather's garden (with his permission, of course) and eat them like apples. I do remember them being harder than apples, but definitely not too hard to eat (and I don't have like, jaws of steel). Maybe they're a little softer when they're freshly picked?

One of my favorite quotes:
"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

How Will Direct Continue to Advance Health Data Exchange?
Supporting more than secure messaging, the Direct protocol has a role to play in making health data exchange more efficient and healthcare interoperability more widespread.
- Achieving widespread or true interoperability remains the goal of federal officials, but efficient forms of healthcare interoperability are already in place, thanks in large part to the DirectTrust and its Direct protocol.
The specifications underpinning the health IT standard Direct gained notoriety for their part in enabling the exchange of health information in federal health IT initiatives such as the EHR Incentive Programs and Stage 2 Meaningful Use. However, the use of the Direct for secure messaging has left many with the impression that this health IT standard does little more than support secure email.
As DirectTrust President & CEO David Kibbe, MD, MBA, made clear in a recent interview with HealthITInteroperability.com, the Direct standard can do a whole lot more for improving health data exchange and advancing health IT interoperability. The Direct standard already supports a multitude of real-world use cases and has the potential to work with other emerging health IT standards, such as Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), to make information sharing more efficiently and equally secure.
HealthITInteroperability.com: What kind of impact is the Direct standard having on heath data exchange?
David Kibbe: Direct exchange and messaging as a transport protocol is a rapidly maturing and at the same time being extended — and there's innovation within the domain of its use and use cases. We have been following some of the metrics reported by the HISPs for three years now.

READ MORE: ONC Seeks Improved Interoperability Standards Measurement
This is a network of networks. Each HISP of course is its own network and has customers who are variably health information exchanges, EHRs, sometimes personal health record companies. That network now includes 40 HISPs that are fully accredited and have contracts with over 300 electronic health record vendors that are certified by ONC and they in turn extend Direct exchange to over 60,000 healthcare organizations in the US. We have about 1.3 million endpoint Direct addresses in the provider space right now, and all of those are parties that have been identity verified. The DirectTrust network is seeing about 8 million Direct exchange transactions per month now, or approximately 24 million a quarter. That's the DirectTrust network of networks. It's this cumulative, incremental growth of the use of Direct that's now running those numbers up, and we'll see that steadily increase over time.
HealthITInteroperability.com: Is the understanding of Direct as a secure messaging too narrow?
DK: It is too narrow. It's very convenient to think about the primary use case for Direct exchange being a "secure email message plus an attachment" that goes from you — let's say, a nurse care coordinator in a hospital — to me, a doctor, or to my organizational address because the patient is being discharged. That primary use case is one that has led to say that it's basically secure email. But actually it's much broader than that. It's a transport protocol which has a lot more capability than simply to be used as a means of person-to-person communication. That's very valuable; that use case is very important. It creates a connection between two people that a fax doesn't do very well electronically.
HealthITInteroperability.com: in what other ways can it be used in health data exchange?
DK: As a transport protocol, we also see information being transported via Direct from server to server, for example, or from server to endpoint person. Health information exchanges all over the country use Direct exchange to send alerts to a medical practice when a patient whom the HIE has received an ADT message about has either been admitted to the hospital or is about to leave the hospital or the emergency room. There's a server that is accepting that inbound ADT within the infrastructure of the health information exchange and that triggers then a message being sent from the server to a doctor's office or to a particular nurse or clinic. It's also possible for devices to have Direct access to an endpoint. A device of any kind could send the information contained in the device's output to a server.
Another example that's also easy to understand: The CDC uses Direct messaging as a means of receiving inbound cancer registry notifications from medical practices and hospitals to its repository. That's the reverse of the HIE example. That's somebody sending a message to that repository which is a server receiving it.
HealthITInteroperability.com: How should the healthcare industry view Direct then?
KB: It's actually better to think of Direct exchange more broadly as a platform for interoperable exchange that is content-neutral. You can send an ADT message. You can send a C-CDA. You can send a PDF file. You can send an image. One of the things we're starting to see: As the healthcare provider organizations start using Direct exchange for that primary use case — care coordination, transitions of care, and so forth — they're starting thinking about using it for moving data from point A to point B for other use cases. That starts to involve the protocol being used in those other ways.
HealthITInteroperability.com: What is the future of Direct use, especially with the push for health data exchange as part of value-based care models?
DK: As more and more parties, not just users of EHRs — long-term care facilities, medical devices, home health services, care coordinators — have Direct addresses, the incentive to use those for that kind of exchange increases as the financial incentives under MACRA are felt by the healthcare provider organizations. The Comprehensive Primary Care Plus is a great example where there is a strong incentive on the part of the participants in those programs to move the data quickly and securely and electronically as opposed to slowly and by paper or fax. The workflow has to be accomplished quickly and Direct is a very, very good way to do it quickly. You push the button and the message is sent and you get a receipt from the receiving party that it has been received. The future of value-base care payment models is one that will be increasing the incentives for those healthcare provider organization to use Direct exchange as opposed to fax.
There's another to bring out: You need to separate the transport protocol from the content. Many of the problems people have had using Direct exchange has really been about content rather than the protocol. For me to use that content, it has to be understandable to me and vice versa. This starts to bring in the issue of workflow, which is really important. Regardless of how you move data from point A to point B or point A to points C, D, E, and F, if there's not a well-defined workflow, then the technology is not being utilized to its highest potential. Once people in those programs for care coordination and transitions of care have decided on the pieces of data they need to receive, they are much better off because now that workflow is more efficient and the expectations about what's going to happen when that information is received are much higher and can be realized.
HealthITInteroperability.com: Are health IT standards such as FHIR a complement to Direct or something the technology could itself make use of?
DK: Both. Any query technology — any technology that allows you to automate a request for information — is complementary to any technology that allows you to push information. Those are complementary workflows and they're different and they're not necessarily going to be satisfied by any single technology. Direct exchange is going to continue to flourish for those use cases in which the parties are exchanging information. FHIR is going to be exceedingly valuable in those situations in which I as a requester of information can automate a query and send it off to the other electronic health record.
The use case for organization-to-organization of FHIR queries is not the one that is most worked upon now. For the next couple of years, we're going to see primarily single-enterprise FHIR APIs as opposed to interorganizational FHIR queries. As the organization-to-organization use case for FHIR becomes more common and desirable, that's when you're going to see the fundamental trust framework that DirectTrust has built around Direct exchange be leveraged to support FHIR queries. For organization A to make a request of information using FHIR of organization B, there needs to be some basic trust between the two parties. We have a means of allowing organization B to trust organization A bona fides when a request of any kind is sent. You can think of this as a FHIR query being initiated with a Direct exchange trust relationship occurring.

Many life science databases, but undoubtedly many other databases too, cite literature related to knowledge in that database. Each entry in that database that cites a particular article can be seen as a "tweet" about that article. I cannot stress how important this link would be: readers get an immediate idea which databases have adopted knowledge from this database.
In the life sciences many databases now have SPARQL end points that make up looking such information not too hard. The community can help design appropriate SPARQL queries.

The recently debuted ZARA Streetwise collection is gaining attention due to its resemblance to some of the apparel in Yeezy Season 3. While there are plenty of similarities, the collection isn't likely to affect sales of the Yeezy line given the difference in price point, but the ZARA take on the faded, hole-filled Venice Beach aesthetic is sure to do well.
The ZARA Streetwise line includes several pieces of minimalist luggage, retro-looking plastic sandals and a variety of ripped and distressed sweats in rust-tinged neutral tones. Currently available in select ZARA stores and online, the ZARA Streetwise collections and its comparison to the Yeezy range highlight a common problem faced by traditional fashion brands, with fast fashion brands often able to market similar products to store mere weeks after its initial presentation, rather than a larger brands' six months.

Fukuoka is cool ! Please come and discover Fukuoka !
Syed Akbar Hussain [Pakistan]
People living or visiting Japan being foreigners can easily express their feelings about whatever strike their minds as "Cool Japan" because they see everything with their naked eyes, feel it very closely and physically experience it. But, how can one, like me, do so being thousands of miles away and having never been to Japan before?
Yet, I can do so! Definitely I can do it because of NHK World. This is the channel which has been making me feel as if I am in Japan despite living in Uganda. The Japanese traditions,cultures, foods, fashion, people, neutral beauty of mountains, forests, lakes, falls and especially "Cool Japan" that keep fascinating are brought to me in East Africa too by NHK World. It has served me as a cool window to the Land of wonders.
So, I find no other option, but NHK World as my truly "Cool Japan" ?
Lennon valim [Brasil/santa catarina]
I am an artist shironuri here in Brazil, I too love the Japanese culture as a whole, I love their traditions festivals, harajuku, fashion, sweets and behavior.
I here in Brazil as well as being an artist shironuri (art that transcends Geishas and Kabuki theater) fabricated 5 kimonos for me, I have a bonsai in my house, a vast collection of fans including one brought kyoto for me.
My favorite food is Japanese sweet mochi, love it and the way it's done.
well am also in love with Japanese anime and my art shironuri always include references anime sailor moon which is my favorite.
Japanese bands have several that I love as golden bomber, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, rice, Raphael, among others.
Rusty [Philippines]

My Cool is my collection of menko cards I accumulated while living at Kanto Mura Housing annex (1970--1974) off Koshu kaido ( route for 1964 Tokyo Olympics marathon) It is in Chofu. There was a "Hole in the Fence" where there is a Toy store and the"oji-san would come out whenevr the DoD base kids would call him to buy candy and other goodies. This store is still there to this day. Oji-san now has grandkids to take care of. WE military base kids miss the store and even more we miss our Base housing where we grew up together. may of us are still tight. We have our own Facebook page "Chofu Rules!" where memories are there

My boyfriend at the time, and now fiance are part of a taiko group on Long Island, NY. We very much love Japan and will be going to Tokyo/Osaka for our honeymoon.
Martina [Germany]
My favorite "cool Japan" is Ikebana of Ikenobo Iemoto. This 550 year old tradional form of culture knows how to show beauty and simplicity in one unique work. On the foto you see my flower arrangement in my own exhibition in 2010. I mixed components of my favorite countries: Japan and Spain. The work's name is "Flamenco", a tradional dance from South of Spain combined with freestyle of Japanese Ikebana. Please enjoy Ikebana and cool down in this hot summer. Greetings from hot Fukushima (north of Japan)
Hesti [Indonesia]
I and my dearest tomodachitachi visited Little Tokyo yesterday as "GALS" from different style of Gals' evolution. We were so happy to be Gals in one day and some people---Mostly Japanese knew that:"Shibuya Gals! Cho~ Kawaii" and they took some pics with us lolz XDD.

George Plimpton interviewing Auchincloss for the Paris Review, the rest hereINTERVIEWERDo people in your books ever come up to you and say, I recognize myself?
AUCHINCLOSSThey certainly do, but they're usually so far off, it's ridiculous. I remember a great tax lawyer, Norris Darrell, a very literal man with a marvelous mathematical mind, who accused me of putting him in a story. The story was about a passionate diarist. Eventually, the man comes to live for his diary; his whole life is oriented around seeking items for it. It is the tail wagging the dog. I asked Norris, Why would you assume you were that character? Do you keep a diary? He said, Heavens no! I asked, Then what was it in the story that made you think you were the character? He replied, He was the senior tax partner in his firm. Well, that's usually the sort of thing a writer runs into.

Henry and Eliza Spaldings Mission
In the summer of 1838, Henry Spalding and his wife moved their mission complex and home from five miles up the Lapwai Valley to its present location, where it would remain until 1847 when they fled Nez Perce country in the aftermath of the killing of Marcus and Narcissa Whitman in Walla Walla.
The site near Lapwai Creek was cooler during the summer. With help from the Nez Perce, he collected logs and built a home that measured thirty-two feet by twenty-two feet. Over the next ten years, the small modest structure that was built in 1838 gradually expanded to encompass a host of activities that occurred at the mission. Additions were made in 1838, 1841, and 1844 to incorporate a school, printing house, and living space for Nez Perce who worked at the mission and school.
After leaving Nez Perce country, the building was used by the Indian agent but they did not preserve the structure. A portion of the building was still standing when Spalding's oldest daughter visited the site in 1884. When she visited again in 1909, the house was gone. In 1923, the Daughters of the American Revolution placed a tablet commemorating the Spalding Mission and in 1935 they erected an iron fence around the foundations of the Spalding home site.
In 1974, archaeologists from the University of Idaho excavated the site and located the principal building and the subsequent additions made by Spalding. The evidence provides some insight into how Spalding built his complex - quickly and cheaply. The team did not find many artifacts, suggesting that Henry and Eliza did not have many personal possessions.

Fab Find
I am obsessed with scented candles. I always have one lit in my living room when I am relaxing at home in the evenings. Not only does the soft glow from the candle make my room feel inviting and warm but the scent at the time can make me happy, nostalgic even hungry depending on which candle is burning. My preferences are Slatkin & Co., which are available at Bath and Body Works and Yankee Candle which are available at Hallmark, Home Outfitters and many other retailers.
So, I was so excited to see that Yankee candle offers a personalization service for their candles. It makes for a great wedding favour for your guests if you love candles as much as I do.
You can pick the photo to affix to the front, the text and even the scent. The website doesn't do the idea justice- but imagine using a photo of you and your sweetie, perhaps a (black & white) romantic pose from your engagement photo shoot, a tag line that is totally you both, the date of your wedding or just a simple "thank you" to your guests. And the most fun- choosing your scent. A sweet scented candle because you love to bake? Maybe an oak scented one because you are honeymooning in Napa Valley wine tasting in the sunshine with your new hubby. What about a Fall harvest scented candle because you are getting married in the Fall and your guests can enjoy the scents from your wedding's season for weeks to come. The possibilities are endless.
I prefer the small tumbler sized candles instead of the jars (they look more modern) and if you think your guests will just throw out the glass jar once the candle is done, think again- here is a fabulous idea to reuse your empty candle jars.

With 2006 quickly fading in the rear-view mirror, it's time to look ahead.
Since I don't moonlight as afortune teller, the following predictions are just one man's opinion ... and since that man doesn't happen to be Vincent Kennedy McMahon, well ... it's just wrestling, for crying out loud.
John Cena will lose his championship belt ... and while it may go through Edge, Triple H will once again wear gold.
Batista may hang onto his championship belt ... I just can't see a Smackdown! foe worthy of wearing the strap.
CM Punk will wear gold ... but it may not be in ECW. If WWE continues to give its ECW product the short end of the stick, it may not survive the year.
Abyss' TNA title reign likely won't be a long one. Not with Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe biding their time.
TNA will continue to pick up steam. If you haven't checked out Impact or a TNA pay-per-view, you owe it to yourself to do so. I guarantee you will go back for more.
RAW will continue to be WWE's "go-to" show. But the D-Generation schtick will likely fade away before summer. Carlito will play a bigger role ... and so will Randy Orton, who will one day soon wear gold again.
- Oleg Prudius, the Russian that Jerry Jarrett paraded into WWE headquarters earlier this year, debuted as Vladimir Kozlov on RAW. Can't imagine Jerry's son Jeff, one of TNA's honchos, is too thrilled with papa's connection.
- Results from WWE's Armaggedon pay-per-view: Kane beat MVP in an Inferno Match (when will MVP learn you shouldn't play with fire?); Paul London and Brian Kendrick won a four-way ladder match over The Hardy Boyz, MNM and William Regal and Dave Taylor; The Boogeyman beat The Miz; Chris Benoit beat Chavo Guerrero; Gregory Helms beat Jimmy Wang Yang; The Undertaker beat Mr. Kennedy (Last Ride Match); and Batista and Cena beat King Booker and Finlay. There was also an appearance fromSanta (who turned out to be Big Dick Johnson).
At risk of being politically incorrect ... Have a Merry Christmas (and a happy holiday too)!!

I've had so many people ask me what the highlight of BlogTourNYC was and I have to say the Modenus My City tour with Amy of ABCD Designs takes the cake. Amy walked and talked Soho with us as we visited her favorite lifestyle and home furnishings stores.
So let's talk about Amy for a second. You might know her fabulous blog ABCD Design where she has over 14,000 twitter followers and die-hard readers scooping up her energy daily. What is so great about Amy is, what you "read" is what you get! A lovely, no nonsense gal. Amy's career has been a mix of creative endeavors. She has worked in event planning, interior design, window display, and photo styling and seems to have mastered them all with a smile. My favorite tip from Amy was her NYC apartment's Christmas tree… embracing "fake" and going black with MOMA ornaments. Check it out here.
The girl really never stops, recently launching #TWECIPES, a cookbook idea comprised of the very best recipes contributed by Amy's twitter friends. If you would like your recipe published in the Twecipe cookbook, go to Amy's post about it for all the details here.
Her zest for good living is contagious and her Soho tour felt like a VIP pass into the "it" spots of the New York life + style design community.
Over the next few weeks, I will spend time going into more detail about some of the wonderful shops we toured but, just in case you have a trip to the big apple on the horizon, print this walking tour out and go visit these amazing Soho establishments.
Thank you Amy, you're a gem.
The New Traditionalists: I will be writing a full post on them soon but the photo above is a sneak peek. Quality craftsmanship and perfection in branding. A furniture line to watch…
Paula Rubenstein: So if anyone was responsible creating the design trend of mixing and matching old with new, it was probably Paula. She finds passion in the art of discovery and still works out of the same Soho store where it all began more than 20 years ago. Paula Rubenstein personally greeted us and talked about her collection of blankets and unreal textiles. Her magazines from the 1970's had me drooling and the vintage signs looked like they could be perfect additions to any wall. With an increased interest in using antiques and "vintage" finds in home design, Paula is now often commissioned to help uncover authentic pieces. Paula was truly delightful and I look forward to visiting her again soon.
Canvas Home Store: Cozy blankets, lovely pillows and lots of great tableware.
Calypso Home: As you know, Calypso Clothing is one of my favorites and the Calypso Home has that same "non-corporate" feeling because they have unique items in all three of their home boutiques (located in Brentwood, CA, Dallas, TX. and New York, NY). The buyers purchase based on individual city cultures and vibe making each store very special. I'm in love with the gold pig!
Clic Gallery: Clic is a spot dedicated to a wide selection of rare photography, art and books.
Michele Varian: Okay, this is it. So versatile. You need a gift? Installing an interior design job and you're missing a few unique pieces? Need one of a kind wall paper? Michele can help. Shop online or go inside. I like humble, talented people and I think that describes Michele. She welcomed us, told us her story and enthusiastically invited us back anytime. My new "go to" for fabulous home accessories.
Ochre: Whoa Nelly… quality, quality, quality. OCHRE is a British based furniture, lighting and accessory design company with a showroom (open by appointment) in London plus the retail store we visited in Soho.
Hastens: "Hastens heaven" is what I like to call it. Just when my feet were starting to hurt and my stomach was talking to me, we popped into Hastens for champagne, snacks and a rest on pure luxury mattresses. Who knew they have itty-bitty mattresses as well for the kiddos.
Flair Home: Just a quick note on Flair because I will be doing a feature post on this amazing store. All I will say is… FLAIR candle. I bought one and it smells so insanely good I'm buying 10 more when I'm back in NYC this summer.
P.S. Famished from shopping? Amy had this to say… "Lure for the tempura shrimp with red pepper aioli and a glass of pink champagne, Balthazar for the steak tar tar and pomme frite, La Esquina for the Tortilla Soup, or Aroma for the Halumi cheese sandwich!"
{Photo of Amy by Swoon Over It | I used instagram for the rest of the shots}
Share my love of easy elegance and finds from around the globe that are simply fabulous? Ready to make your place a space that you adore? I'd love to help make your house a home. cecy j is currently accepting new interior projects. Let's chat firstname.lastname@example.com

The Stacey and Bo Porter SELF Foundation provides and supports programs that are dedicated to improving and impacting the lives of others through Sports, Education, Life Skills and Faith. With an emphasis on our youth's fitness, education, social well-being and spiritual enrichment, our programs provide the important building blocks for the Foundation's mission of nurturing the whole person athletically, academically, socially and spiritually. We pledge our full support in order to provide the finest programs to improve and enhance the overall success of our community.
SELF Foundation Founders
- The Stacey and Bo Porter S.E.L.F. Foundation was established in 2012 by Former MLB Manager Bo Porter and his wife, Stacey. The Porters have been involved in mentoring and coaching young student-athletes since their days at the University of Iowa. Both were standout students and athletes… Bo has made his career in professional baseball, first as a player, then as a coach, and as a manager. He and Stacey are deeply committed to giving back to the community, using their personal life stories as examples to inspire and instruct young people. They are committed to impacting the lives of people from all walks of life.
- Over the past ten years, Bo has developed and refined a strong model for strengthening young people's athletic skills, dedication to academics, and character through programs offered after school, during holiday breaks, and over the summer in Houston. Bo's Houston base program has assisted and witnessed over 100 student-athletes receiving college scholarships in both athletics and academics. Many of those student-athletics have graduated from college and are now highly productive first-class citizens in our community. The program also produced several professional baseball players as well.
- Bo and Stacey have also reached out to the communities in which Bo has coached – in Houston, Arizona, Florida, and Washington, D.C. – to underserved children, exposing them to professional baseball players as examples of the way hard work and discipline can change a person's life. Now Bo and Stacey are building on that experience and success by launching the Stacey and Bo Porter SELF Foundation to formalize these programs and expand them so they can serve more people.
- The Stacey and Bo Porter S.E.L.F. Foundation is a non-profit 501(c) (3) charitable organization. Our programs will ensure that the Foundation's Mission of maturing the whole person physically, intellectually, socially and spiritually can be sustained in our communities.

Peace Man!
Oohh when I was a kid we took drugs and played with dynamite legally. So what. You wouldn't have survived ten hours trying to keep up with us in the age of AIDS and DARE. You want to know who's the real rebel? Who's really HARDCORE? It's not you. It's the kid who manages to get his leatherman pocket tool past TSA by placing it standing up as his bag goes through the XRAY. It's the kid who cooks his own meth out of cold pills and matchsticks.
But But But I was at Woodstock and at Altamont. No you god damned weren't. There were only 450,000 people at Woodstock. Then your hippy minstrels added 50,000 people to the count by pulling numbers out of their ass. By the time we got to Woodstock we were half a million strong. No you were more then two standard deviations off your figures. Then in the 80's as your generation started to go bald you all started claiming you were there. Like I'm supposed to be impressed. You know what I was at the first Lolapalooza. It was the US festival of the 90's.
So cut off that damn ponytail and move out of Santa Fe. Maybe you won't be such a god damned cliche.

First I let AVG free coax me to take a free month of their professional protection.
But when this ended so did my free virus protection.
So I tried to find AVG and download the AVGfree again. Somehow Binkiland.com
hijacked me and loaded all sorts of malware on me. I went to my control panel and to
the add/remove programs and got rid of some of them (and perhaps accidentally got
rid something else by mistake) Then I used my free edition of Superantispyware getting
rid of more but was warned that there was more. I ran the free edition of Malwarebytes
which found more.
NOW GET THIS NEXT PART OF STORY....a tiny window on lower right hand of monitor
showed a scan going on and gave a phone number for "notification helper". I played with
the bait and called that number. The man that answered spoke with soft friendly voice in
an easy to understand forign accent. He said he could fix the problem over the internet.
I knew that he wanted me to give him remote access to my computer and had already
heard of the disaster that can come from that So I very politely said "goodbye" and
hung up the phone.
The good news is that since my bank account information is NOT in this computer no
amount of spyware can find it here. I do NOT use credit cards or Pay-pal so they have
nothing to gain except except perhaps the pleasure that vandals get ruining things for
spite. I may have to take computer to a trusted shop to get it the whole way clean but
will try to do it myself with the mind that my Maker gave me. Will pray for Devine
While checking the list at "add/remove programs" I found AVG antivirus and remembered
that my attempt to get back to free version of this was at the beginning of this sad story.
There was the choice to change or remove. I chose "change" and was able to get back the
free edtion by "downgrading". After doing that I did a scan with it removing many bad
things. The AVGfree is back to scanning new email.

Gaming Dominates Tech Talk at CES
Wednesday, a day before CES 2006 officially kicks off, the organization held 14 hours worth of panel discussions to talk about the future of gaming and how it can impact the future of mainstream entertainment. Time is precious here in Vegas, but we managed to sit through and summarize for you a few of these panel discussions to give you a gist of what the industry-at-large thinks about the future of gaming and consumer electronics.
"The Mobile Gaming Experience"
The mobile space rallying cry of years past has said gamers are casual, not hardcore; they want blackjack on their cell phones, not Half-Life. GM and VP of marketing Matthew Bellows at Floodgate Entertainment feels different; during the CES panel, he said people are looking for more sophistication in their cell phone games. He cites Motorola as saying that 99 percent of their owners play some sort of mobile games, so the audience is already there.
What the panel emphasizes is how many people are already buying games. If a phone can already play MP3s and offer other cool features, how do you compete for dollars? According to the panel, that's problem one. Games only cost the price of a Starbucks coffee, but you need a place to find everything...a simple carrier-based marketplace, similar to what Microsoft's doing with Xbox Live.
The panel then moved onto how to make the perfect gaming device. They consumers don't want to spend $300 on an uberdevice. How tough would it be to create a cellular device capable of playing decent, portable 3D games? The general consensus was that if a tiny Game Boy Micro (the most mobile platform around) can have great games, why not a cell phone? Part of that resides in perfecting the human interface.
Another problem the panel pinpointed was how do you reconcile all the different phone services and the possibility of online gaming on various phones? If someone walks up and shows off a cool cell phone game, they may be Verizon -- but let's say you have Cingular. Good luck getting the same version of the game, and even better luck finding the game to download and buy. Will 3G data networks help ease the overall problem? It wouldn't hurt. Right now, cell phone web browsing is the equivalent of using a slow dial-up connection -- effective, but definitely not fun.
With the 3G networks, games like JAMDAT's Neverwinter Nights can be streamed. "If only the huge costs for the rollout for a 3G network could be justified," says Mike Yuen, a senior director at Qualcomm.
That doesn't mean progress isn't being made, though. With Verizon's V-Cast, they're able to stream music and new car models to your phone as you play Need For Speed Underground, and Glu just announced a multiplayer poker game.
The consensus of this panel suggests mobile gaming is gaining ground, but hasn't hit the "big time" to become a bigger part of the consumer culture. Hmm, but we knew that already. Hint: downloadable game previews would be nice. As it stands, you either have to buy on blind faith, or look to one of the few websites that actually reviews cell phone games (ahem!).
"Next Generation Power Gamer Platforms"
This was by far the most riveting panel at CES, and I swear this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Ziff-Davis Game Group honcho John Davison was heading the panel. Brown-nosing aside, this panel looked at what needs to happen for next-generation games to gain more momentum.

— Academic sculptor
I am an academic sculptor working primarely with clay, though I like to experiment with other materials as well. I would consider my work as a journey of an endless discovery. I try to release all the posibilites of different materials by shaping them into impredictible forms. The field of my expertise extends from ceramics, sculpture, wall painting, theater to animation.
Have you ever asked yourself how a certain sculpture or a ceramic piece was made? Would you like to have a look behind the scenes? In my blog posts I'll try to expose variety of different materials and various ways of using it to create beautiful forms. My posts are meant for all the art and crafts lovers, who would like to gather more insights about my working process. My aim is to reveal everything: from forming an idea, through sketches to actualization and all the fun stuff in between. I'll try to paint a picture (in metaphor, since I am a sculptor) of what lies behind a work of art. Joking aside, there will also be some painting there since I use painting and ceramic techniques in sculpture and vice versa.
I will be glad to read and answer any comments you might have.
