A New Tool for Parents and Pediatricians to Eliminate Secondhand Smoke Exposure at Home.
The NYC Coalition was proud to join the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) for their New York Chapter 3 meeting in December at Mount Sinai Hospital. We participated in a robust discussion around tobacco control and how pediatricians can help to combat smoking, which is not only the number one cause of preventable death, but also a major contributor to childhood asthma.
Working with the Manhattan Tobacco Cessation Program (MTCP), the AAP has developed a new tool to help eliminate secondhand smoke exposure at home — a compelling doctor's note that parents can take to neighbors and building managers.
The Coalition believes that all New Yorkers have the right to breathe smoke-free air where they live, work, and play. We're grateful that organizations such as the AAP and MTCP are raising awareness of the dangers of secondhand smoke exposure and helping to protect our kids. AAP has developed a smoke-free housing toolkit with the American Lung Association and the Department of Housing and Urban Development and also supports Smoking Disclosure Policies.
Like most of you, report cards were always a big deal in my household when I was growing up. I can only imagine what would have happened if I came home with two A's and two F's!
Those are the grades New York State earned in the American Lung Association's recently released State of Tobacco Control 2013 report. While the report gives New York a "thumbs up" for having the highest cigarette tax in the nation and praises the state's strong smoke-free indoor air laws, the state again received "F's" for inadequately funding its tobacco control program and failing to remove the barriers that prevent New Yorkers from accessing needed smoking cessation services. You might say that New York failed to protect children from Big Tobacco's marketing tactics by neglecting to invest in programs and policies proven to reduce tobacco use.
New York State (NYS) is planning to go smoke-free in certain areas at NYS parks, recreational facilities, and historic sites.
The state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation has proposed regulations that would prohibit smoking near playgrounds, athletic fields, swimming pools and other highly used areas at state-operated parks and historic sites.
The NYC Coalition strongly supports NYS's adoption of these regulations. Since May of 2011, New York City parks, beaches and pedestrian plazas have been smoke-free thanks to legislation overwhelmingly supported by the City Council and signed into law by Mayor Bloomberg.
The Coalition applauds the proposed rules designating state parks in New York City, which are some of the most frequently visited parks in the state, as entirely smoke-free, both because of their relative-size and the existing city parks policy.
We're glad the State is following the lead of NYC and plans to make all our state parks a place where kids can breathe clean, smoke-free air where they play. To read the NYC Coalition's full public comment, click here.
Who's still smoking these days?
Compared to the rest of the country, New York State's overall smoking rate has dropped much faster than the national average. Despite this progress, health inequities still exist, and vulnerable population groups are benefiting less from the progress the state has made.
At-risk populations in New York State (NYS) have benefited the least from declining smoking rates. They include residents who earn less than $15,000, have less than a high school education, and report poor mental health. However, declines in smoking rates between 2000 and 2010 were statistically significant for females, whites and those who reported good mental health. The disparities are clear.
A new video from Legacy shows that those who are below the poverty line have significantly higher smoking rates.

Farewell to chipset installed in communications devices
The US government bids adieu to Clipper Chip
04 Feb 2015 Mark Bohannon (Red Hat) Feed
Some lessons relevant for today.
In a short notice published last month, the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) announced it was retiring a number of Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) because they were obsolete. Notably, that list of retirements includes FIPS-185.
Never heard of FIPS-185? Perhaps you know it as the Escrowed Encryption Standard (EES). Its best-known implementation was a chipset known as the Clipper Chip. The Clipper Chip—and the lesser known implementation, Capstone—were developed by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) to be installed in communications devices, for the purpose of protecting private communications, but which also provided "back door" access to law enforcement agencies to conduct electronic surveillance, subject to court order. Naturally, this raised a lot of questions and concerns (some of which are worthy of a whole other blog post).
Ostensibly, the EES is now being withdrawn because it references a cryptographic algorithm, Skipjack, that is no longer approved for U.S. government use. But one facet especially strikes home: Whatever the reason for the proposal to withdraw the FIPS, it is a timely reminder that efforts by governments to require use of specific technologies that have not been developed in a transparent manner with broad input are not merely misguided—they are very likely to fail. Especially in areas as sensitive as that involved here.
To recall, EES was approved by the Secretary of Commerce, who has oversight of NIST, in 1994. It is a hardware-focused standard for encrypted communications that was intended to protect unclassified government and private sector communications. The significant feature of EES is its encryption key escrow method of enabling access by authorized government agencies under certain circumstances.
This was an era when the U.S. government assumed that it could shape commercial markets, an assumption that proved itself flawed almost from the day EES was announced. It was the beginning of the commercialization of the Internet; the transition of the Domain Name System had just begun. And if you wanted to surf the World Wide Web, you were probably using Mosaic. Jim Clark and Marc Andresson would found what would later become Netscape the same year.
In a paper published shortly after the Secretary's announcing the standard, well known cryptographer and computer security expert, Matt Blaze (then with AT&T Labs) documented how from the beginning the lack of transparency and openness permeated the process and contributed to its failure.
EES includes "several unusual features that have been the subject of considerable debate and controversy," Blaze wrote. For example, the cipher algorithm, Skipjack, "is itself classified, and implementations of the cipher are available to the private sector only within tamper-resistant modules supplied by government-approved vendors." And while "Skipjack ... was reviewed by a small panel of civilian experts who were granted access to the algorithm, the cipher cannot be subjected to the degree of civilian scrutiny ordinarily given to new encryption systems."
As Blaze went on to point out in detail, it became apparently fairly quickly that "rogue applications defeat EES by making use of the cipher without the government 'back door'." Many others pointed out the distinct possibility that escrowed encryption keys could be likely obtained by unauthorized persons, and misused by overzealous government agencies. The Clipper Chip quickly gathered dust after its introduction. Skipjack was eventually declassified and published in 1998. But, by then, the lack of transparency and collaboration in its development had already had a deleterious effect, and fostered lingering suspicion.
This chapter influenced the cryptography debate for years. And when NIST announced its challenge to replace the outdated Data Encryption Standard (DES) with a new Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), it designed a process that was open, transparent, and global. The process—and result—received notable praise from the cryptographic community, including from one of the losers and one of NIST's harshest critics in previous years, thereby increasing confidence.
Recent discussion—and misunderstandings—about encryption have been renewed, on both sides of the Atlantic. In recent weeks, a key leader in EU anti-terrorism efforts has, per media reports, called for for consideration of "rules obliging Internet and telecommunications companies operating in the EU to provide ... access of the relevant national authorities to communications (ie share encryption keys)." So now, even 20 years later, there is still a need to remind and recall the lessons of FIPS-185.
NIST is receiving comments on its list of withdrawals. You can submit a comment through March 2, 2015 (before 5pm US Eastern Time), at fipswithdrawal@nist.gov.

Remember the new year celebrations we had in January? For many Chinese people, Tuesday 5th February is the first day of their new year. They've been looking forward to it over the last few weeks and getting their houses ready for the celebrations. These preparations include putting up big red decorations (red is thought to be a lucky colour), hanging two-line messages with new year good wishes around the doors, cleaning the house and buying new clothes. It's also a time when Chinese people visit their temples and they especially remember their ancestors, people who were part of the family but who have now died. For many Chinese people, respect for parents and for elderly people is very important.
On the first day of the new year, everyone wishes everyone else 'Happy New Year' - much as we do on 1 January. It's a time to be thankful for the last year, to look forward to what may happen this year and to hope that it will be a good one. Children are given special little red envelopes (remember that red is a lucky colour) with 'lucky money' inside. Families will meet together to eat special food and wear new clothes. In some places, dumplings are a favourite new year food and they have different fillings, each of which have a different meaning: for example, dumplings filled with sugar will bring a sweet life. Sometimes there's money inside the dumplings.
There are also things that you can't do on Chinese New Year's Day. Knives and scissors are not used because they are thought to be unlucky. So if you need a hair-cut, you must have it done before the New Year festival! During this time everyone tries to be kind and friendly to everyone else.
Animals are very important too. In China, every year has the name of an animal. There are 12 important animals, so each animal has its turn once every 12 years. This year (2019) it's the year of the pig.
Chinese New Year can be a noisy time too because people light firecrackers. A long time ago, this was thought to chase away ghosts and monsters.


I've spent much of my almost 42 year career as a professional economist trying to dispel these notions, both to the students I've taught and the audiences attending my public talks. I think there are numerous practical usages of economic principles – uses that anyone – even those with an economics degree – can apply.
One of the best is how to adjust for inflation. Most people know what inflation is. It's the general increase in prices in the economy. Some also refer to it as the increase in the cost of living. The point is, it costs more – in dollars – to live today than it did in the past.
We sometimes have an almost nostalgic view of inflation. How many times have you heard someone like me – a senior citizen – wistfully mention a memory of gas prices being 30 cents a gallon, compared to $2.50 today. It makes us wish for the "good ole days"!
But in 1964 – when, indeed, gas prices did average 30 cents per gallon – most everything else was also cheaper, including what we earned. The important question is, what would 30 cents per gallon gas cost today if gas prices kept up with the general rise in the cost-of-living? The answer is $2.45 – not too different from what gas actually does cost today.
We also often look at what people earned in the past and feel bad because they were paid so little. My first paying job in 1967 was in fast food (the store had "golden arches"!), and I was paid $1.00 an hour. When I tell students this today, they can't believe how apparently poor I was. But because most everything is more expensive today than in 1967, earning $1.00 an hour in 1967 would be like making $7.68 an hour today.
You can make similar comparisons for past dollars to current dollars using the following government website: https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl. It will give you a whole new perspective on the value of money years ago.
There's another practical use of inflation when tracking your pay. Think about this question. Would you rather get a three percent raise or a nine percent raise? I know what you're thinking – is this a trick question? In a way it is. Let's say the inflation rate when you receive the three percent pay boost is two percent, but it's 10 percent when the nine percent raise is given. A raise puts more money in your pocket, but higher inflation – which means higher prices – takes it away.
Economists have an easy way to handle this situation. It is to calculate the "real" pay raise. In this context, "real" simply means to subtract inflation. So, when your pay raise is three percent, but inflation is two percent, that means your "real" raise that year is one percent (three percent minus two percent). Translated, this means in that year you outpaced the rise in the cost of living by one percent.
In contrast, when the pay raise is nine percent but inflation is 10 percent, you've actually lost ground by one percent, meaning a "real" pay raise of -1 percent (nine percent minus 10 percent). Here, you're actually worse off than in the previous year in terms of what your salary can buy.
You can make similar comparisons for investment returns. Your "real" return on money you have invested is the interest rate earned on the investments minus the inflation rate. Let's say last year you made a four percent gain on your money. The inflation rate last year was around two percent. So your "real" investment return was two percent (four percent minus two percent). This isn't high, but it's better than 1979 when banks were paying 10 percent on investments but inflation was 11 percent – resulting is a "real" investment return of -1%.
Let me conclude with something else most of us do – borrow money. There are two lessons I want to discuss. First, what determines the level of interest rates charged for borrowing money?
There are two factors in the answer. One is – once again – inflation. Inflation makes future dollars buy less. So if a financial institution is going to lend you money now and have you repay it years in the future, the institution will certainly incorporate the expected inflation rate in the interest rate they charge. If not, they'd lose money – in purchasing power terms.
This means interest rates on loans tend to rise and fall with the inflation rate. A big reason why lending rates are fairly low today is that inflation is low.
The second factor behind borrowing costs is another rate (again called the "real" rate) that, in this case, incorporates costs to the lender, risks of nonpayment by the borrower, and a profit for the lender. This "real" rate will vary, mainly with the borrower's risk. The total rate charged on the loan is therefore the expected inflation rate plus the real rate.
The second lending lesson is the "word of the day" – amortization. Amortization is the process of the borrower paying off a loan over a number of years with regular payments. Car loans and home loans are examples. Often the regular payments are equal in size.
With regular payments of the same size, the early payments include mostly interest on the loan and very little of the loan amount. This is because in the early years most of the loan is still unpaid, so the interest component will be substantial. The longer you pay the loan, more of each payment goes to reducing the loan amount and less goes to interest.
So there you go – several examples of practical and useful economics at work. Maybe we'll rename economics the "useful science" rather than the "dismal science." Or have I gone too far? You decide!

Q: Is $k$-rainbow coloring of a hypergraph NP-complete or not? A hypergraph is $k$-rainbow colorable if there exists a vertex coloring using $k$ colors such that each hyperedge has all the $k$ colors. The problem is also called "polychromatic coloring"
Is $k$-rainbow coloring of a hypergraph is NP-complete or not?
I looked at some reference papers such as "Hardness of Rainbow Coloring Hypergraphs by Venkatesan Guruswami and Rishi Sakety" and "Strong Inapproximability Results on Balanced Rainbow-Colorable Hypergraphs by Venkatesan Guruswami and Euiwoong Lee". But these are the only reference I found discuss the problem but the authors foucs on generating balance rainbow coloring for K-uniform hypergraph where each color has to appear the same number of times in the hypergraph.
It has been proved that K-rainbow coloring for planer graph is P for K= 2 and NP complete for K=3,4 according to this reference "Polychromatic Colorings of Plane Graphs".
My question " Is $k$-rainbow coloring of a hypergraph NP-complete or not?" in general for any hypergraph. I think this problem is related to vertex cover problem.

Margaret Atwood's 10 Rules of Writing
"Do back exercises. Pain is distracting."
In the winter of 2010, inspired by Elmore Leonard's 10 rules of writing originally published in The New York Times nearly a decade earlier, The Guardian asked some of today's most celebrated authors to each produce a list of personal writing commandments. After 10 from Zadie Smith and 8 from Neil Gaiman, here comes Margaret Atwood with her denary decree:
Take a pencil to write with on aeroplanes. Pens leak. But if the pencil breaks, you can't sharpen it on the plane, because you can't take knives with you. Therefore: take two pencils.
If both pencils break, you can do a rough sharpening job with a nail file of the metal or glass type.
Take something to write on. Paper is good. In a pinch, pieces of wood or your arm will do.
If you're using a computer, always safeguard new text with a memory stick.
Do back exercises. Pain is distracting.
Hold the reader's attention. (This is likely to work better if you can hold your own.) But you don't know who the reader is, so it's like shooting fish with a slingshot in the dark. What fascinates A will bore the pants off B.
You most likely need a thesaurus, a rudimentary grammar book, and a grip on reality. This latter means: there's no free lunch. Writing is work. It's also gambling. You don't get a pension plan. Other people can help you a bit, but essentially you're on your own. Nobody is making you do this: you chose it, so don't whine.
You can never read your own book with the innocent anticipation that comes with that first delicious page of a new book, because you wrote the thing. You've been backstage. You've seen how the rabbits were smuggled into the hat. Therefore ask a reading friend or two to look at it before you give it to anyone in the publishing business. This friend should not be someone with whom you have a romantic relationship, unless you want to break up.
Don't sit down in the middle of the woods. If you're lost in the plot or blocked, retrace your steps to where you went wrong. Then take the other road. And/or change the person. Change the tense. Change the opening page.
Prayer might work. Or reading something else. Or a constant visualization of the holy grail that is the finished, published version of your resplendent book.

Good sport that he is he agreed and I finally interviewed him a few nights later.
Erin: What is the best part about being married to Erin?
Erin: What is the worst part about being married to Erin?
Erin: Okay I admit I had some failures when we were first married but not lately.
Erin: What is Erin's most endearing habit?
PC: I don't know, what's do you mean by endearing and I don't know if it's a habit?
Erin: How about we move on and come back, you can check the thesaurus if you don't like the word habit, I can change the word if you want.
PC: Well it's not a habit (still the wordsmith here;) but it is endearing. Your love for babies, your love for children. When you've just given birth you have a glow, when you look at our baby I just fall in love with you more. You know that's one of the things I really was attracted to when I met you, the love and time you had for your siblings, you were family orientated.
Erin: What is Erin's most annoying habit?
PC: Annoying..annoying. I don't know what's your most annoying??
PC: I've thought of one, your inconsistency with the housework. Sometimes you are on top of it, sometimes no where near and then, when it bothers you, you irritate everyone because they all have to help right then, regardless of plans they might have made. Maybe it's endearing though, at least you are flexible, you don't annoy everyone all the time expecting a perfect house. Annoying and endearing.
PC: Your ability to talk to anyone, anywhere and listen.
Erin: What was the first thing that attracted you to Erin.
Erin: What do you enjoy most about being a Dad?
Erin: What do you least enjoy about being a Dad?
Erin: What was your favourite thing to do with Erin pre-kids?
Erin: What do you miss doing with Erin now you have kids and limited time?
PC: I miss the spontaneity, it's not really children, it's more because we are building a house and have other commitments for time and money, but I miss being able to just decide to go out and then go. We just don't have time.
Erin: What is your most disliked household chore? Do you even do any household chores?
Erin: What is your least disliked household chore?
Erin: What's your favourite thing to cook?
Erin: What do you think Erin loves most about you?
Erin: What do you think annoys Erin most about you?
Erin: Why do you think Erin is lucky to be married to you?
Erin: What do you think is the secret to a happy marriage?
PC: Patience and love, wanting the best for the other person and working towards that. Love is best summed up in the reading we had at our Wedding.
Though I command languages both human and angelic — if I speak without love, I am no more than a gong booming or a cymbal clashing.
And though I have the power of prophecy, to penetrate all mysteries and knowledge, and though I have all the faith necessary to move mountains — if I am without love, I am nothing.
Though I should give away to the poor all that I possess, and even give up my body to be burned — if I am without love, it will do me no good whatever.
it is never rude and never seeks its own advantage, it does not take offence or store up grievances.
Love never comes to an end. But if there are prophecies, they will be done away with; if tongues, they will fall silent; and if knowledge, it will be done away with.
but once perfection comes, all imperfect things will be done away with.
When I was a child, I used to talk like a child, and see things as a child does, and think like a child; but now that I have become an adult, I have finished with all childish ways.
Now we see only reflections in a mirror, mere riddles, but then we shall be seeing face to face. Now I can know only imperfectly; but then I shall know just as fully as I am myself known.
Very entertaining! 🙂 Haha, the kermit face.. didn't think about it like that before, but I can see it now!
Great interview! Thanks for playing along. I love reading these, they give such an insight in to other people's lives and the dynamics. They also show a lot of love. And Dave hates wiping the bench too, it is one thing that drives me completely nuts because he will clean the entire kitchen, all pots and pans and everything else, but won't wipe down the bench!
Beautiful interview Erin, you are both blessed to have each other.
Thank you for starting the gig:) great idea. Yes feeling a little vulnerable at just how much insight it does show. Must be a Dave thing, your husband, Renee's and mine, similar.
Erin, this is perfect! I love it. You had me laughing the whole way along. I love the disruptions wink wink part and the falling in love with you even more part!How sweet is that?! That must have been so lovely to hear. You clearly have a beautiful relationship – Dad jokes and all :)I love the pic of your whole clan too. Thanks for joining in, Erin.
He he! This was fun!
I know this was so long ago, but catching up on my reading and commenting, I love the playful banter! Great interview. I think my inconsistency with the household is a similar problem here.


Mad World MMORPG releases new raid footage for Linux, Mac and Windows. The games is coming to Steam this fall. Even though we do not have a release date yet.
Since the game will be cross-playable, inviting players from various platforms, from PC to mobile. This is also good news for Linux gamers. Taking your game to your phone when away from your PC.
When will we see a playable build?
Clad in unique hand-drawn 2D art style. Mad World also stays true to the classic MMORPG's but with a few tweaks. Leaving the MMORPG's standard combat style, the game's Target and Move style makes the combat more dynamic, and its classless weapon-based skill system gives more options when using skills.
As for us, as you can see in the video above, we hit the road to test-drive the latest map and some new monsters (The best time at work, no doubt.) besides watching World Cup games of course. Now, you might be wondering why do the UIs look so messy?!! Do they even care about them?! Worry not because we do, and UI is one of the things we are planning to polish later along with proper translation to English and other languages.
However, one thing we absolutely don't want to do later , and want to start doing as early as possible is increasing the awareness of Mad World.
Mad World's unique and dark setting comes with an in-depth storyline. Enslaved humans' struggle against Demons leads to dramatic and unexpected events, providing an engaging story-driven quests and many memorable experiences while actions and choices players make throughout their journey impact how their character evolves.
Mad World is aiming to launch this fall. To sign up for updates on future beta tests, please visit the official website.
MMORPG Powered-by HTML5. No installations.
Mad World MMORPG is coming to Steam this fall for Linux, Mac and Windows. Also that new trailer is looking impressive. I'm eager for the release.


Not all investors can handle managing their various properties themselves and they need to rely on a manager to maintain their rental properties. Of course, there are some vendors out there who don't do as good a job as others. To avoid getting stuck with a less-than-stellar property manager, here are some signs of a good one.
There's no such thing as radio silence. Managers check in with their clients monthly to give them a report on their rentals. These reports include the tenants and if they've been causing problems as well as market activity if the client asks for it. Communication is key for making money and maintaining the property in case of repairs or even eviction.
The sign of good property management is low vacancy rates. Red flags should go up if properties have a high turnover of tenants. This is caused by poor management, bad tenant relations, no maintenance or excessive rates. Low vacancy means that the manager is actively caring for the home and staying on top of needs for the tenant to keep them there.
Property management is more than making sure the rent is payed. Good firms have a network of contacts and services to keep the rentals in top condition. Managers make inspections, interview potential tenants, watch market activity and more.
Referrals between investors are a way of property managers getting clients. A nice word goes a long way. Good firms have many years of experience. They have an extensive portfolio and a pool of happy clients who are eager to refer the managers to their friends getting into the market.
If the property doesn't make money, neither does the manager or their client. Good management keeps the tenants in, the money flowing and the repairs done at a good rate. Since property managers are required to know about tax law, they'll do their best to get the highest return possible for their client.
