Poorly Drawn People - Motion Not Emotion EP
Poorly Drawn People - Motion Not Emotion EP (self released) [audio] [upcoming shows]
It's tough enough dealing with a stubborn music scene in the smallest state in the country, but Rhode Island can rest assured hip hop is covered with these cats. This collective of rappers isn't getting the respect they feel they deserve. After days of listening, I finally filed this in my collection next to my People Under the Stairs records, only to take it out the next day, slam it in the dash and start singing again, "Five dollars is the new ten dollars and I still won't pay five for your whack record!"

Art Brut - Art Brut vs. Satan
Art Brut - Art Brut vs. Satan (Downtown) [audio] [upcoming shows]
This is a band who'll never again be as good as they were on their debut album Bang Bang Rock & Roll. Fortunately, Art Brut's third album comes close and is a very welcome rebound after their textbook sophomore slump with It's a Bit Complicated. Eddie Argos is a revitalized frontman, his sing-speak diary entries once again full of wit. The music is equally sharp, having moved from the garage to the studio. Surely this can't be sustained for much longer, but for now... Art Brut, 1; Satan, 0.

Peaches - I Feel Cream
Peaches - I Feel Cream (XL Recordings) [audio] [upcoming shows]
The devil is in the details on I Feel Cream, because any new Peaches album is 99% the same as any other Peaches album. What to look for here are the softer, much more melodic moments like "Lose You" and "Relax" and the straight-faced heart-on-sleeve emotion of "Talk to Me," one of few songs Peaches has ever done with actual commercial radio potential. All in all, I Feel Cream wins by virtue of satisfying the artist's impulses first and ours second, but it doesn't hurt that she's reaching out a hand.

Cash Cash - Take it to the Floor
Cash Cash - Take it to the Floor (Universal Republic) [audio] [upcoming shows]
This band looks ridiculous. Like it's Halloween, or tonight there's some sort of '80s-themed party. They're also trying to pass off their Timberlake-inspired music as punk rock to the Warped Tour kids this summer. This is electronic pop that has been filtered more than top shelf vodka. It's so overly-produced it's almost embarrassing to listen to. With on-point vocals and catchy melodies, this is the type of band that could rival The Format if they leave the bells and whistles alone, or N'Sync if they don't.

Ben Kweller - Changing Horses
Ben Kweller - Changing Horses (ATO Records) [audio] [upcoming shows]
The idea of Ben Kweller making a country-twanged album is sorta like if Ryan Adams made a Rock N Roll album: it feels a bit forced and the reviews are understandably mixed. Listening to these sugary tunes, one easily imagines a young Kweller by the campfire with an oversized cowboy hat on his sweet little head, serenading the stars as a coyote howls to the moonlight. Do yourself a favor and look for the How Ya Lookin' Southbound? ep. You'll avoid the filler and still get the album's three best tracks.

Meg & Dia - Here, Here and Here
Meg & Dia - Here, Here and Here (Warner Bros.) [audio] [upcoming shows]
In a genre where the bar is set high by acts like Lily Allen and Katy Perry, Meg & Dia are upping their game. Here, Here and Here is an ambitious and mostly enjoyable effort. While the album is well-written and slickly produced, many moments leave a lingering feeling that they're trying a bit too hard. The faux British accent on the track "The Last Great Star in Hollywood" is just shameless. Eagerness to please can backfire sometimes.
Continue reading Meg & Dia - Here, Here and Here.
Röyksopp - Junior
Röyksopp - Junior (Astralwerks) [audio] [upcoming shows]
Norwegian duo Röyksopp have been threatening since the beginning to make pop singles, but were swamped in largely instrumental club music with no way out. The answer? Bring in no less than four guest vocalists doubling as writing partners. Lykke Li and Robyn are both new collaborators, while Anneli Drecker and Karin Dreijer Andersson return in a greater role, all providing a more traditionally pop-styled structure to their respective songs. Junior launches Röyksopp out of the DJ booth and onto the streets.

Actionslacks - Kids With Guitars EP
Actionslacks - Kids With Guitars EP (self released) [audio]
The Actionslacks boys have long been rocking whilst keeping their day jobs, putting out just a few records in more than just a few years. The latest is Kids With Guitars, a 7-song ep that, like most Slacks' releases, is a grower that is very worth repeated (loud) listens. There's the familiar social-political commentary sung with careful enunciation, the rockin' riffs, and the melodies you can't ignore—it's a good time to become a fan.

Deerhoof - Offend Maggie
Deerhoof - Offend Maggie (Kill Rock Stars) [audio] [upcoming shows]
Deerhoof does three things well: makes weirdsy art-music, makes catchy pop music, and makes rockin' rock music. With Offend Maggie, the emphasis appears to be on the pop and rock, but without complete abandonment of their weirdsy strengths. While it is difficult to imagine any Deerhoof release that wouldn't fit in at the graduation exhibition for your local art school MFA program, the recent emphasis is more aimed at catching a groove than pure experimentation. Piss off the diehard fans by saying you like the mainstream stuff better.
Continue reading Deerhoof - Offend Maggie.
The Travellers - Blue EP
The Travellers - Blue EP (self released) [audio]
The Travellers bring together an exotic potpourri of jazzy rhythms, psychedelic warblings and rich shoegazey guitars and, in the process, turn them all into something that wouldn't sound terribly out of place on the Twin Peaks soundtrack. "Mermaid in May" especially combines all the above elements in the most cohesive way, with Gemma's vocals swirling like smoky wisps above the eerie instrumentation by bandmate Robert P. Still rough around the edges, The Travellers are halfway to somewhere great.
Continue reading The Travellers - Blue EP.
Cœur de Pirate - S/T
Cœur de Pirate (Grosse Boîte) [audio] [upcoming shows]
Parlez-vous Francais? Who cares?!?! Quebec's Béatrice Martin not only speaks French, she sings French, and it's just about impossible not to be awestruck by her captivating piano-pop songs. The debut full length from this 18 year-old demonstrates her range as a singer/songwriter who's able to write songs that sound both melancholy and jubilant, traditional and modern. At worst this is a collection of cute songs, and at best it's the #1 foreign pop album of the year.
Continue reading Cœur de Pirate - S/T.
Fang Island - Sky Gardens EP
Fang Island - Sky Gardens EP (Corleone) [audio] [upcoming shows]
This EP features three songs in under fourteen minutes, largely guitar-driven instrumentals, and it takes nearly six minutes into the second track "The Absolute Place" to hear the only chorus of voices on the entire EP. Lots of guitar riffage, leaning towards math rock without the dry seriousness and riffwankery, ahem, prolific chops that tends to hamper the genre. Picture Trans Am and the Trans Siberian Orchestra filling in as the Blue Man Group's backing band and you can get a feeling of what to expect.

Red Red Meat - Bunny Gets Paid: Deluxe Edition
Red Red Meat - Bunny Gets Paid: Deluxe Edition (Sub Pop) [audio]
Sub Pop is ushering in the golden age of grunge by re-releasing the deluxe editions of albums released a decade ago. Bunny Gets Paid catches Tim Rutili just as the band is about to move from being a rock band to a more sullen anti-rock band. Sub Pop expands this to a double disc with demos, different mixes and amazing covers of Low's "Words" and Flock of Seagulls "Wishing". Rutili has since moved on to Califone, which has been just as prolific as Red Red Meat once was.

Description: Luminous, haunting, unforgettable, The Age of Miracles is a stunning fiction debut by a superb new writer, a story about coming of age during extraordinary times, about people going on with their lives in an era of profound uncertainty.
"What I understood so far about this life was that there were the bullies and the bullied, the hunters and the hunted, the strong and the stronger and the weak, and so far I'd never fallen into any group - I was one of the rest, a quiet girl with an average face, one in the harmless and unharmed crowd. But it seemed all at once that this balance had shifted. With so many kids missing from the bus stop, all the hierarchies were changing."
"We took more risks. Desires were less checked. Tempation was harder to resist. Some of us made decisions we might not otherwise have made."
"But I guess it never is what you worry over that comes to pass in the end. The real catastrophes are always different - unimagined, unprepared for, unknown."
"We dipped our fingers in the wet cement, and we wrote the truest, simplest things we knew - our names, the date and these words: We were here."
I've read so many great reviews for this one and I LOVED the passages you included. Absolutely beautiful.

McAdam on the move two decades ago
by Jill Wagner September 29, 2021 September 29, 2021
Scott McAdam among the landscaping trees at McAdam Landscaping when it was located on Franklin Street (behind Goldyburgers) in Forest Park 20 years ago.
It was in September 2001 that McAdam Landscaping announced the company was moving from the northeast side of Forest Park to the southwest side.
The familiar brown and tan trucks had been parked at 7313 Franklin St. when the bourgeoning business outgrew the cramped quarters. The Franklin Street property was in a TIF District the land would eventually be converted into townhomes in 2004.
McAdam was on the verge of expanding their operations, which would include a retail greenhouse, and the company leaders looked forward to having less residential congestion at the south side location at 2001 Desplaines Ave., where the McAdam headquarters and those brown and tan trucks remain today.

Captain Paul Wellens says he hopes to discuss a new deal with St Helens.
Utility back Wellens, 34, has made more appearances in Super League than any other player and is out of contract at the end of the 2014 season.
"I've got a great relationship with the chairman [Eamonn McManus] and contract negotiations never take more than 10 minutes over a cup of tea," he said.
"I'll have a similar conversation with him again midway through the season to see where we are at."
Talking to BBC's Super League Show, former England and Great Britain international Wellens continued: "What I've done for the last three or four years is take it one year at a time."
One-club-man Wellens, who broke Keith Senior's Super League appearance record last month and has now played 417 top-flight matches since 1998, insists he is in no hurry to consider retirement.
He has made 13 appearances so far this term, nine as a substitute, and scored two tries.
"I'm still really enjoying what I'm doing," said Wellens.
"To be able to play so many games, you have got to be enjoying it, wanting to get up every week to go to training and try to perform your best on the weekend.
"Obviously, along the way you need a little bit of luck with injuries, which I have had.
"A lot will depend on how the body is, whether there are any injuries, and obviously I will sit down with the family and discuss things.
"I'm in no real rush to make a decision, and I know I'm at a great club and don't feel any pressure to make a decision."
And Wellens, who has won five Challenge Cups, four Grand Finals, two World Club Challenges plus the Man of Steel, Lance Todd (twice) and Harry Sunderland awards, said he is psychologically prepared to play on.
"From the mental side of things I think it's got easier," said Wellens.
"I know my body, I know how to prepare for games, I know what is expected of me.
"I don't stress about things now as much as I did when I was younger because I'm more comfortable in the environment."

Sprint, Verizon and Mobile Healthcare
In US, Sprint and Verizon are going head to head with their 4G (sic.) offering. Sprint has a WiMAX network from its Clearwire joint venture while Verizon is soon to roll out LTE.
During the ongoing Healthcare Information and Management System Society or HIMSS annual conference being held in Atlanta, the CEO of Sprint Nextel, Dan Hesse mentioned that the 4G (sic.) technology will play an important part in helping to transform healthcare to a greater height.
With wireless technology being an essential part of everyday life for nearly 277 million Americans, it is changing the paradigm of how healthcare is administered. Internet savvy consumers today expect immediate access to health information and care anytime, anyplace. Last year, 89 percent of wireless Internet users sought health information online*. Similarly, caregivers are using smartphones equipped with medical applications for instant, secure access to lab results, x-rays, vital signs, drug-to-drug interactions, and other vital medical records. These trends further validate the key role that wireless will play in shaping the future of healthcare by enabling innovative and cost-effective approaches in delivering quality care.
"If I had to pick the one industry facing the biggest gap between need for change and use of wireless to facilitate that change, it would be healthcare," Hesse said. Most industries spend between 6 percent and 8 percent of their revenues on telecom, but healthcare only spends 2 percent or 3 percent on it, he said. Darwin said that survival of the fittest is not about the strongest or the most intelligent — it's about the most responsive to change, Hesse explained, and consumers are beginning to drive a lot of the change in healthcare. Healthcare spending on telecom will jump from $8.6 billion to $12.4 billion in the next few years, Hesse predicted, and two-thirds of that increase in spending will be from wireless apps and services.
What if we had asked the healthcare industry to partner with the wireless industry back in 1986, Hesse asked as he held up a massive mobile phone from that year. What if I said we could monitor patients and look at EKGs on one of these? The timing couldn't be better for healthcare and wireless to work together, Hesse said as he took out a smartphone from his pocket. Today two-thirds of physicians use a smartphone like this one and soon more than 80 percent of them will.
What use cases does Hesse see for the wireless tools his industry offers?
> E-prescribing — Physicians' bad hand writing causes some 4 percent of errors found in prescriptions. Hesse said a doctor friend of his realized the first time he saw a Palm PDA that it was the same size as his prescription pad and once it got Internet connectivity it would eventually eliminate the handwritten prescription. Hesse said e-Prescribing could save $20 billion annually.
> Instant, secure access to vital signs – Hesse pointed to AirStrip's fetal heart rate monitor as a perfect example of vital sign remote monitoring that is in the market today.
> Advanced mobile apps for consumers – In just a few years we have gone from going online to look up home remedies for various ailments, Hesse said, to using apps like flu radar which can tell us how many cases of the flu have been diagnosed in our area. Hesse also pointed to the app currently being researched that encourages the end user to cough into the phone's microphone so it can compare the sound to its database of coughs and come up with a preliminary diagnosis.
> Ultrasound probe that plugs right into a cell phone — Ultrasound exams could be conducted nearly anywhere and pipe the images to doctors that could also be nearly anywhere, Hesse predicted as he showed images of an ultrasound probe that connects to a cell phone. This will not only cut costs for ultrasounds, especially in developing market but also make it easier for EMTs and other healthcare workers who are away from hospitals to have a tool to use on the go.
> Wireless video monitors for virtual, in-home visits — While this one didn't seem to leverage the real benefits of wireless, Hesse told a story of a nurse who had gained too much weight to be able to come into work anymore. After a short while of being detached from her former colleagues she became depressed over the situation and much less engaged in our own care. She then became part of a program that used wireless video monitors to enable two-way communications between patients in their home and physicians and nurses at care facilities. After receiving frequent virtual visits using the system, she took control of her health decisions, lost the weight and made it back to work.
> Virtual coaches on your handset — Hesse described another patient who had Type 2 diabetes, a regimen of oral medications and high blood pressure. In order to adhere to our routine she participated in a program with Sprint's partner Welldoc to track her adherence. Welldoc offered her a virtual coach application that reminded and encouraged her to stay on track.
> Mobile enterprise for pandemic situations — During the H1N1 scare, Hesse said Sprint encouraged its workers to work from home or remotely to stem any potential spread of the flu virus among its ranks. Unlike businesses that have not adopted mobility tools for the enterprise, Sprint was able to restrict travel and encourage working from home without disrupting their employees' workflow and progress. They had the mobile connectivity and devices to work from anywhere.
> mVisum for remote access to images, charts — Sprint partner mVisum enables clinicians to view charts, x-rays and other images right from their smartphones. Hesse said a cardiologist might be alerted through mVisum on his BlackBerry of an ambulance en route with a patient whom the paramedics suspected had suffered a heart attack. If the ambulance had wireless connectivity it could send that EKG to the cardiologist's phone via mVisum and the clinician could prepare for the patient's arrival knowing what needed to be done ahead of time. In those types of situations the time saved is extremely valuable.
> Intel Health Guide for remote visits and monitoring — Hesse said that moving more patients out of the hospital and back into their homes not only reduces costs overall by also improves opportunities. A woman with a high-risk pregnancy should not be moved in many cases, but she has to move in order to visit her doctor. Instead, hospitals could provide patients with Intel's Health Guide, a tablet-like device with a touch screen that aims to make it easy for patients to track their vital signs and monitor their biometrics through peripheral devices. Physicians can make remote visits through the Health Guide.
> 4G wireless-enabled video cameras – Imagine video cameras with 4G wireless connectivity that can help patients learn how to apply their skin medication. A similar camera could be installed in an operating room to live broadcast surgeries in high definition. If it were installed in an ambulance, the EMTs could live broadcast stats, triage and more so that the clinicians at the care facility could prepare for their arrival.
> Intelligent medicine or pills with wireless embedded — "Soon i will be able to hold up a pill with wireless embedded into it," Hesse said. The pill could also include a video camera and could send data and images straight to a doctor's wireless device.
> 4G phones with Blu-Ray quality screens — Everyone always points to the cell phone screen's small size or low resolution as reasons why images aren't very useful on that platform. Hesse said HD, Blu-Ray quality resolution is coming to 4G phones.
"There are a lot of unsung heroes here today in this room," Hesse said. "In the sometimes bitter debates on the subject of healthcare, too often we forget how important the job is of those people who deliver care."
"To quote Yogi Berra, 'The future ain't what it used to be,'" Hesse said. With all the potential that Hesse pointed to and the fact that ten mobile phones are manufactured per every baby born today, the future is increasingly wireless. The future of HIMSS is wireless. And the industry can finally put the 1970s behind it.

Verizon Business has launched an information technology platform that enables the digital sharing of physician-dictated patient notes.
The Verizon Medical Data Exchange, launched Wednesday (March 3) at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society annual conference in Atlanta, provides a way for medical transcriptionists to share digitized patient notes detailing patients' care and treatment with doctors, hospitals and other health care providers. Until now, the lack of an interoperable, nationally available platform has made it difficult to share these notes, which primarily form the basis of electronic health records.
Verizon Business developed the platform for the Medical Transcription Service Consortium under an agreement announced last November. Founding consortium members MD-IT and MedQuist currently are using the platform. By August, when the Medical Data Exchange is expected to be in use by all of the consortium's members, 350,000-plus physicians, more than 2,700 clinics and nearly 2,500 hospitals will be supported.
The Medical Transcription Industry Association estimates that its members create and electronically archive nearly 60 percent of the more than 1.2 billion clinical notes produced in the U.S. each year. Approximately 25 percent of these records currently are shared among health care providers, including other physicians, hospitals and insurance companies.
Verizon Wireless offers customers in the healthcare industry an extensive portfolio of products and services that run on the company's reliable Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revision A (Rev. A) network, including:
PatientKeeper® – PatientKeeper's mobility products support all operations systems while connecting physicians to patient information across inpatient and ambulatory environments. With PatientKeeper, physicians save time, increase revenue and enhance patient care. PatientKeeper enables physicians to interactively manage patient information across multiple locations, view clinical results, enter charges, sign out patients, and enter and order prescriptions, all from their smartphones.
EPOCRATES Rx for Android and Palm OS – Doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals who use Verizon Wireless smartphones with the Android™ OS, such as DROID by Motorola or DROID ERIS™ by HTC, or devices that run on the Palm® webOS™ platform, including Palm® Pre™ Plus and Palm Pixi™ Plus, can leverage this mobile drug reference application to get prescription and safety information for thousands of brand name and generic drugs instantly. The application also offers Pill ID, which helps identify a drug based on physical characteristics such as color, shape and imprint code; table and calculators; and drug interaction information.
Medicine Central and Evidence Central – Unbound Medicine offers two applications for Verizon Wireless Android, BlackBerry®, Palm and Windows Mobile® devices.
Medicine Central is a collection of disease, drug and test information with literature tracking for mobile devices. The application features The 5-Minute Clinical Consult, A to Z Drug Facts, Drug Interaction Facts, Pocket Guide to Diagnostic Tests, and MEDLINE Journals.
Evidence Central supports effective evidence-based medical practice by integrating analysis with the latest research. Clinicians can access Evidence-Based Medicine Guidelines, Cochrane Abstracts, EE+ POEMs (Patient-Oriented Evidence that Matters from Essential Evidence Plus), and MEDLINE Journals anytime, anywhere.
Motion Computing® C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant (MCA) – Running on Windows® 7, the C5 is a hospital-grade device proven to enhance clinician satisfaction, improve point of care documentation, increase clinician productivity, and improve clinical documentation accuracy. The MCA is now available with embedded Verizon Wireless Mobile Broadband capability to stay connected to hospital information and the Internet.

59p iPhone stethoscope is a life saviour
From The Independent, UK:
The stethoscope, the 200-year-old accessory without which no doctor is complete, could soon be replaced by the humdrum mobile phone.
A computer scientist who wrote a program that turns an Apple iPhone into a stethoscope has made a major advance in medical technology and created a sensation among heart specialists. The application, called iStethoscope, was developed as a "bit of fun", and has become a runaway success after being downloaded millions of times by users across the world.
Cardiologists say the software has saved lives and brought specialist expertise within reach of patients in remote parts of the world. Heart sounds can be recorded and emailed to doctors anywhere for an expert opinion.
Peter Bentley, a researcher who developed the application in the computer science department at University College, London, said he was amazed by the response.
"The idea began as an experiment," he added. "I had a new, popular science book out last year and I wanted to see if I could tell people about the book using a free iPhone application that did something useful.
"It was intended as a fun toy but to my astonishment it was downloaded by several million people all over the world in the first six months. Then I started receiving emails, phone calls and visits from cardiologists all over the world. They said it worked better than commercially available digital stethoscopes. They were tremendously excited. One flew over from the US just to discuss it with me."
The cause of the doctors' excitement was that the audio quality from the iPhone was far superior to that from digital stethoscopes. Mobile phones are a huge market compared with digital stethoscopes, and economies of scale mean they are made with better hardware.
Responding to requests from specialists, Mr Bentley extended the application to allow heart sounds to be recorded, emailed and analysed. The application costs 59p to download, but cardiologists say it does a better job than equipment costing thousands of times as much.
Glenn Nordehn, a US cardiologist researcher and specialist in digital stechoscopes at the University of Minnesota, said: "This is the best thing to come around in terms of medical equipment for a very long time. [His] closest competitor charges about 3,000 times as much"
Mr Bentley is now working on further iPhone applications, such as an electrocardiogram reader. "This is the way everyone wants to go," he said.

mHealth and keeping fit Apps for Blackberry
From Brian Dolan, Mobile Health news:
When Fraser Edward joined Research In Motion (the company behind BlackBerry) four years ago, the device maker had only three partners for mobile healthcare applications, Edward said during a panel session at the American Telemedicine Association in Las Vegas. Today, Edward is RIM's business manager of market development for Health & Life Sciences, and the company has 30 healthcare applications in its recently launched BlackBerry App World store.
During his presentation, Edward showed a slide of 12 mobile health companies that are "BlackBerry Solutions Partners," which means they are clients of RIM to take advantage of the company's marketing channels, developer know-how and more. Here's a rundown of the 12 companies Edward counted as Solutions Partners and the mHealth buckets he put them in:
AllSportGPS — powered by Trimble — GPS-enabled mobile application for coaching on cycling, mountain biking, running, walking and other sports activities.
BonesInMotion – GPS-enabled app targeting those participating in outdoor activity 3 or more times a week: fitness walking, running, cycling, hiking, mountain biking, GeoCaching, and other outdoor activities.
BodyMedia – Wearable, "fashionable" body monitors that record and transmit a variety of physiological data to the BodyMedia's website.
Myca - Enables nutrition professionals connect with their clients through video consults, messaging, a personalized website, and a picture food journal.
Sensei - Makes mobile health applications for a wide variety of handsets, but most recently launched a couple of iPhone applications, including one for diabetics.
Tolven - Open source healthcare solutions developer of PHRs, clinician health records and health informatics.
CapMed - Offers PHRs for families to keep track of their own health data.
Corporate Wellness/Chronic Disease Management
t+Medical - Offers disease management and remote monitoring services that work with most mobile phones and also does some work with clinical trial management.
Medtronic - Develops medical devices and services to help people better manage chronic diseases.
Healthanywhere - Offers applications that let users monitor their health from a smartphone, PC or from a "dedicated Healthanywhere supplied platform."
Confidant - Provides a mobile-phone based service that includes feedback, coaching and context to a patient's chronic disease management routine, while simplifying and automating the flow of information between patients and their healthcare providers.
RIM also partners with chipmaker AMD for Corporate Wellness and Chronic Disease management.

Mobile Healthcare: EpiSurveyor saving lives
DataDyne's EpiSurveyor program, funded by the United Nations Foundation and the Vodafone Foundation, has been implementing mobile technology to track and contain disease in developing nations since 2007.
In a recent and potentially devastating polio outbreak in Kenya, EpiSurveyor's new mobile platform was used to track virus carriers and immunize affected children. The campaign targeted around 2 million Kenyan children. Mobile tech will be used exclusively for new nationwide initiatives in children's healthcare, and the World Health Organization has made EpiSurveyor the standard for data collection in sub-Saharan Africa. Screenshots and video included below.
"mHealth" is a recent term for medical and public health practice supported by mobile devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, and other wireless devices, especially in areas where Internet access via computers is lacking. Related programs allow health officials to quickly gather and assess data regardless of location or access to more traditional resources, permitting immediate mobile response to health crises. Users can create forms, view records, and share data with others.
The EpiSurveyor program began using donated Palm Pilots to gather health data in Kenya and Zambia less than two years ago. Currently, DataDyne is migrating the program to Java-based platforms for mobile phones. Beta testing began in April 2009 with Nokia S40 series devices and will expand to support other devices in May.
There's an interesting and rather basic tutorial video for field workers here which demonstrates some of the uses of EpiSurveyor's data collection tools. Much more interesting is this video, an interview with an EpiSurveyor mobile developer in Kenya who had been working through the night to prepare a stack of phones for data collection in the field:
Datadyne founder, pediatrician and CDC epidemiologist Dr. Joel Selanikio, also recently won this year's $100,000 Lemelson-MIT Award for Sustainability for his contributions to public health and international development.

Mobile Healthcare: More on TeleHealth
There are some major developments going on in the field of Mobile/Wireless healthcare. Sometime back I happen to attend a lecture organised by IET Berkshire where Prof. Lionel Tarassenko gave an overview of what developments are going on in this area. Unfortunately I could not get hold of the presentation but there is enough info on the web about it.
Vodafone has been field-testing neurosurgical telemedicine applications using third generation (3G) technology in Germany. Scientists in Denmark have successfully used text messaging to collect diary data from asthma patients in a pilot study to determine whether increased remote support improves clinical outcomes. Previous studies using home PCs to send the same diary information proved disappointing, with users rejecting the application after a short while.
Researchers from the Norwegian Centre for Telemedicine in Tromso studied parent-child interaction using a mobile and wireless system for blood glucose monitoring, and concluded that, whether or not the health outcome is improved as a result, the peace of mind provided by such a system may make it a commercial proposition.
In Finland, Medixine has been promoting home care by integrating diagnostics and patient diaries before sending results via a PC based web-link to health professionals. The company is now offering the same functionality using hand-held mobile PCs.
Researchers in the UK have, however stolen a march. When scientists from Oxford University set out to determine whether a system based on automated transfer of data, real time analysis and immediate feedback to the patient could improve glycaemic control for young adults with type 1 diabetes, they adopted the mobile approach.
The substantive difference between their work and others cited in the literature is that, with the help of funding from the charitable Vodafone Foundation, professors Andrew Neil and Lionel Tarassenko were able to conduct randomised clinical trials.
For the first time, the use of mobile telephone technology was proved to have a significantly beneficial effect and resulted in demonstrably improved clinical outcomes.
The system involved in the trials, which has subsequently been made commercially available under the "t+ diabetes" brand, uses a glucose meter linked by Bluetooth to a GPRS-enabled mobile telephone. (GPRS allows a handset to communicate with a remote server without the user having to dial in manually.)
After the patient has taken a reading in accordance with the advice he or she has been given by a GP or practice nurse, they spend around 10 seconds adding essential diary information about diet, exercise and general health via the telephone's keypad. The system is intuitive and easy to use.
The information, together with the reading, is sent by the handset to a central computer which responds within seconds, providing patients with personalised feedback in easy-to-read graphical format delivered to their mobile's display.
The number crunching done by the remote computer uses sophisticated algorithms to help negate the effects of occasional rogue readings and deliver a consistently meaningful result to the patient's mobile.
This presentation here gives the motivation for the need to have a mobile based healthcare system.
In the UK there are 17.5 million people with a long-term condition (mainly diabetes, hypertension, asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).
Diabetes is the fastest growing disease in the Western world as a result of poor diet and obesity.
£5.8 billion is spent per year by the NHS on diabetes and its related complications (2002 figures).
Asthma affects 3.7 million adults and 1.5 million children in the UK (70,000 hospital admissions for asthmain 2002).
80% of primary care consultations relate to long-term conditions and patients with such conditions or their complications use over 60% of hospital days.
The key to minimising long-term complications is to empower patients to take more responsibility for the management of their condition.
The economic driver is reduction in unplanned hospital admissions.
Lot of time of healthcare professionals and bed space in the hospitals are wasted for the routine procedures that can be avoided by remote monitoring of the patients
Why Mobile Phones?
Equality of care – 90% of UK population owns a mobile phone
Real-time feedback, with two-way information flow
Communication with remote carer based on shared data
Economic model based on reduction in unplanned hospital admissions makes mobile phone solution a financially viable proposition
Interactive tool to promote self-managementRegular support from remote nurse (based on real-time data)
What kinds of problems are being looked at:
Asthma: 3 published clinical studies, 1 recruiting for Asthma UK
COPD: 1 trial at Bristol Royal Infirmary published in Thorax
Diabetes Type 1: 1 RCT at OCDEM published in Diabetes Care 4 trials in progress in Dundee, Eire, Dubai and Oxford 2 studies pending with UK NHS and Singhealth in Singapore
Diabetes Type 2: 1 published clinical study for Lloyds Pharmacy
Cystic Fibrosis: 1 published clinical trial (data submitted to NICE)
Cancer: 1 study at Churchill Hospital published in Annals of Oncology
Drug Titration: 1 study at Corbeilles-Essonepresented at Alfadiem and 1 trial recruiting in Oxfordshire GP Practices
Hypertension: 1 trial recruiting in Oxfordshire GP Practices
You can read more about the tools and applications being developed here and here.
There is also a very good and detailed study of Asthama that can be seen here. There is a diary at the end that shows how readings are entered in the phone, etc.

Mobile healthcare named 2009 tech pioneer
The World Economic Forum on Thursday named Japan-based Mobile Healthcare Inc (MHC) as a 2009 Technology Pioneer. The company, which develops real-time mobile health solutions for preventing and managing diabetes, obesity and other lifestyle-related illnesses that can be accessed over mobile phones, became one of the 34 technology visionaries to be honored at the 2009 World Economic Forum.
MHC Founder & CEO James Nakagawa said, "We have aspired from the outset to be pioneers, exploring the life-changing potential of mobile technology and finding solutions that empower people to tackle their own health issues affordably and easily via their personal cellular devices and the Internet. I was at once ecstatic and humbled by the news that our work had gained disciples from amongst the venerable body of global business and financial leaders put forth by the World Economic Forum."
The company's flagship product, Lifewatcher, is a mobile phone-based health management application for people with so-called 'lifestyle diseases' such as diabetes and obesity. Users can monitor their own conditions by logging blood sugar levels, calorie intake, exercise and many other variables into their 'always on' mobile device, creating a one-glance health portfolio, which collates daily, monthly and even yearly data. It also delivers vital medical information, reminders and alerts with escalating alarm-levels if goals are not met.Using real-time cellular technology, diabetics and lifestyle illness sufferers can also be in constant dialogue with medical practitioners to ensure health measures are in check or, if not, to spark intervention that could save lives. With the dramatic rise of diabetes and obesity to pandemic levels in countries like Japan and the U.S., doctors have been welcoming this self-directed management tool that affordably and easily increases drug, nutrition, exercise and monitoring compliance for sufferers.
Motohisa Furukawa, a high-ranking Japanese politician and long-time participant at Davos said: "Japan is particularly proud this year to see Mobile Healthcare accepting this honor. It is my hope that government representatives attending Davos this year will recognize the particular relevance of innovative technologies like Lifewatcher, as a universal low-cost healthcare solution that is also environmentally sustainable, as we move forward in these tough economic times in a resource-constrained world."

SMS Rocks! Long distance shoulder amputation by text
We have heard of dumping and divorce through SMS, betting through SMS but none can beat this one. A surgeon carried out an operation in Democratic Republic of Congo by following instructions received over SMS.
A British surgeon volunteering in the Democratic Republic of Congo saved the life of a teenage boy by amputating his shoulder using instructions texted by a colleague in London.
David Nott, 52, a general and vascular surgeon at Chelsea and Westminster hospital, was working with the charity Médecins sans Frontières (MSF) in the town of Rutshuru when he came across the badly injured 16-year-old in October.
The teenager's left arm had been so badly damaged - either in an accident or as a result of the fighting between Congolese and rebel troops - that it had already had to be amputated. But the flesh and bone that remained had become badly infected and gangrenous.
"He was dying" said Nott. "He had about two or three days to live."
The doctor realised the boy's best chance of survival was a forequarter amputation which requires the surgeon to remove the collar bone and shoulder blade. The only problem was that it was an operation Nott had never performed. But he remembered that one of his colleagues at home had carried out the procedure.
"I texted him and he texted back step-by-step instructions," he said.
"Even then I had to think long and hard about whether it was right to leave a young boy with only one arm in the middle of this fighting.
"But in the end he would have died without it, so I took a deep breath and followed the instructions to the letter."
Such an operation, if performed in the UK, would require careful planning with every sort of modern medical product on hand if things went wrong.
But in Congo Nott had just one pint of blood and an elementary operating theatre.
Despite the basic conditions, the operation was a success and the teenager made a full recovery.
This news could not have come at a better time because the inventor of SMS, Matti Makkonen, received this year's Economist Innovation Award for Computing and Telecommunications.
If I remember my stats correctly, there are 3Billion+ users or SMS worldwide with 1Billion+ SMS exchanged daily and its nearly 20 years since SMS has been launched.

Healthcare using BWA (Broadband Wireless Access)
Came across this paper entitiled "IEEE 802.16/WiMAX-based broadband wireless access and its application for telemedicine/e-health services". While it is common sense that any prehospital diagnosis and monitoring can be very helpful it is important to make sure that the information is updated properly and with correct QoS.
Ambulances and other medical emergency vehicles travel at extremely high speeds. This would require that the technology in place is able to handover between different cells and keeps the equipment connected to the server. The nurse should concentrate on the patient rather than worry about the link being maintained electronically. This also necessitates a quaranteed QoS being maintained for this setup to work effectively. The figure above shows the QoS that is required in different situations.
In the above mentioned paper, the authors argue that WiMAX/802.16 networks can be engineered for telemedecine/e-health services. The main focus should be on Radio Resource allocation and admission control policy. Other important thing is to remember while implementing to use TCP for loss sensitive data and UDP for delay sensitive (but loss in-sensitive) applications.
I am sure the healthcare industry is already looking in these kinds of options and its just matter of time before we will hear about some new related application.

Qualcomm and Healthcare
Qualcomm is diversifying its portfolio by starting a MVNO focussed on healthcare. An article that appeared on Wireless Week has some interesting information on this.
Qualcomm is preparing to launch a standalone mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) company focused on healthcare, although designed to have a broad consumer appeal.
The new company, which was incorporated recently under the name LifeComm, was created by Qualcomm and several other, unnamed, partners. Don Jones, who is vice president of business development for QUALCOMM's' health and life sciences unit, says the MVNO likely will launch commercially sometime in the second half of 2008.
Although the MVNO will have a healthcare focus, Jones says it plans to have applications and services designed to help consumers maintain their personal health as well as more specialized medical uses.
"We don't see it as just health care," he says, because the MVNO also will offer services for wellness, fitness, and health maintenance.
The specific applications and services the MVNO will offer have not been determined, but Jones says the company wants to establish a brand known to provide services for anyone interested in his or her health. The target audience, he says, is predominantly going to be women ages 40 to 65 because they are "influencers" when it comes to health.
Services could involve fitness, weight management or reduction, diabetes management, and monitoring heart health, including hypertension and congestive heart disease.
LifeComm already is talking to handset manufacturers about designing phones with consumer appeal but with the capability of linking to the MVNO's special applications and services, Jones says. One of the plans is to have handsets that would create a personal area network that could communicate with medical devices such as heart and blood pressure monitors. They also could connect to consumer devices like pedometers. Some of Qualcomm's partners in the MVNO are medical device manufacturers.
Jones also talks about using innovative devices like "wireless Band-Aids," which stick to the skin and monitor some bodily functions. Such devices are in use now for mobile health care, as well as wireless pacemakers, remote electrocardiograms and wireless blood glucose meters.
LifeComm expects to close on a bridge loan in the next few weeks to provide initial funding as a separate company. Jones says the company will then start pulling together an executive team and will do additional market research.
LifeComm has an agreement with a CDMA wireless carrier to provide network services for the MVNO, although Jones says he cannot announce which carrier. He did say the MVNO expects to use Qualcomm's BREW platform, which is the platform used by Verizon Wireless. The MVNO also will use assisted-GPS for location services.
This isn't the first time that Qualcomm has spun off a separate company to take advantage of technology it has developed. The latest example was MediaFLO USA , which is building a nationwide network for mobile broadcast TV services.

Janhvi Kapoor says filming Mili hurt her mental health, gave her nightmares | Bollywood
By Veronica Gatward On Oct 31, 2022
Influential Guitarist and Songwriter Was 73 – The Hollywood…
Actor Janhvi Kapoor is all set for her first survival thriller, Mili releasing this Friday. Ahead of the film's release, she recounted how the month-long film shoot affected her physical and mental health. In the film, she plays a girl who gets trapped inside a storage freezer for hours. Also read: Mili trailer: Janhvi Kapoor is stuck in a freezer with no way out
Directed by Mathukutty Xavier, Mili is the Hindi remake of the filmmaker's 2019 Malayalam hit Helen. Said to be based on true events, the film traces the struggles of Janhvi as Mili, who races against time to stay alive inside a freezer. According to the actor, a special freezer was built by the film's team, where they shot for 20 days at minus 15 degrees Celsius temperature.
Recalling her experience at a press conference in Delhi, Janhvi said, "I remember it (film) taking a genuine toll on my mental health because I would come back home after wrapping up shoot and I would go to sleep and dream that I was still in the freezer. I fell ill and I was on severe painkillers for two-three days and even the director was unwell."
"If you spend 15 hours of your day in a freezer in a closed environment crying for the majority of the day, sometimes with a rat that keeps nibbling your fingers, it is not glamorous for sure," Janhvi added. She also said that she was asked to gain 7.5kg for the film, as per the director to look more relatable to the audience.
Besides Janhvi, Mili also features Sunny Kaushal and Manoj Pahwa in key roles. It is Janhvi's first professional collaboration with her father Boney Kapoor, who is backing the film. The film will hit theatre screens on November 4, 2022. A Mili, Janhvi will also be seen next in Bawaal and Mr and Mrs Mahi.

Scientists just discovered a new dinosaur related to the Tyrannosaurus rex
The new dinosaur may have been a swimmer, or at least died in the water
By Herb Scribnerhscribner@deseretnews.com
SHARE Scientists just discovered a new dinosaur related to the Tyrannosaurus rex
Researchers at the University of Southampton spent months reviewing four different bones that washed up on the South coast of England near the village of Shanklin, which is on the Isle of Wight.
Trudie Wilson
Scientists in England have identified a new species of dinosaur related to the popular Tyrannosaurus rex months after discovering four bones on a shore.
The paleontologists determined the bones came from the neck, back and tail of the new dinosaur, which has been previously unknown to researchers across the country.
So what did the dinosaur look like? It was about 13 feet long. It was probably a theropod — meaning it walked on two legs (like a Tyrannosaurus rex) instead of four — that lived during the Cretaceous period.

Want to see dinosaurs in real life? Google has a new app that can make it happen (seriously)
Scientists have discovered a new dinosaur ancestor called the 'tiny bug slayer'
The dinosaur has been named Vectaerovenator inopinatus, which refers to the creatures air sacs seen in its bones. These air sacs are fairly common in modern birds, allowing creatures to breathe easier, according to CNN.
Chris Barker, a Ph.D. student at the university who led the study, said in a news release that the discovery surprised researchers because it washed up on shore in an area where there's mainly oysters and driftwood.
"The record of theropod dinosaurs from the mid-Cretaceous period in Europe isn't that great, so it's been really exciting to be able to increase our understanding of the diversity of dinosaur species from this time.
"You don't usually find dinosaurs in the deposits at Shanklin as they were laid down in a marine habitat," he added. "You're much more likely to find fossil oysters or driftwood, so this is a rare find indeed."

Q: Do all tables have non trivial functional dependencies? I am asking this question because if a table has a key that consists of all of is attributes then the table would have a trivial functional dependency since the right side is a subset of the left side.
For example I have relation R with attributes A and B. A and B together are the key of the relation R. Thus I have FD A B -> A B which is a trivial dependency and thus this table only has trivial functional dependencies.

A: Well, you pretty much answered your own question, let me try to restate it in a (hopefully) clearer way...

*

*All attributes are functionally dependent on the key.

*If the key "covers" all attributes, then all these dependencies are trivial (by definition).

*OTOH, if there are attributes outside the key (even within another key), then they are non-trivially dependent on the key (again, by definition).

Hearts assistant manager Austin MacPhee is better-travelled than most 39-year-old men from Kirkcaldy and he clocked up even more air miles this week as he jetted out to Switzerland for a FIFA-run initiative.
Austin's playing career famously took him to North Carolina with the UNC Wilmington Seahawks, Romania with Dacia Unirea Braila and Japan with FC Kariya.
He is now taking part in a year-long Inaugural FIFA Coach Mentorship Programme which kicked off at FIFA's House of Football in Zurich yesterday.

MARITIME ATTACK: Law of the Sea Treaty in US Senate for Approval
May 15, 2012, 1:13 pm by Arlen Williams 1 Comment
Contributors: volunteer activists of the Sovereignty Campaign – @SovCam
UNCLOS logo
The U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs is once again diddling with the ultra-massive U.S. sovereignty and communitarian wealth giveaways known as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea Treaty (UNCLOS or LOST). Whenever one sees "communitarian," one may think "global communist."
Neo-Marxist Saboteur Barack Obama's State and Defense Departments (including numerous compromised, NATO-head officers) are pressuring the Senate to adopt this travesty after years of resistance dating back to Ronald Reagan's presidency. If the committee goes forward with it, they could choose either of two paths: 1. the honorable and traditional congressional method of holding hearings, or 2. "fast-track" it, in order to slip voting through with as little light of day or time for the People to react, as possible.
The Senate is still Harry Reid's crypto-Marxist Senate, and this committee's chairman is John Kerry, so LOST may pop up for a vote like a rapist plunging from behind the bushes in the dark, within the next few days.
Recent and upcoming reports may be found at Heritage.org: "heritageaction.com/tag/law-of-the-sea-treaty." Gulag Bound will also continue to monitor: "gulagbound.com/tag/un-convention-on-the-law-of-the-sea-unclos-or-lost."
For other sources, see in Investors.com, "Obama Seeks Sovereignty Surrender Via LOST Treaty," May 8, 2012; in U.S. News & World Report, "Kill the Law of the Sea Treaty," May 10; and at Breitbart, Daily Caller, or American Thinker, "American Sovereignty: LOST at Sea?" by Ken Blackwell and Bob Morrison, May 14.
Perhaps the most thorough of the most recent articles is found at Liberty News Online, "The Creature from the Ocean's Floor – the Law of the Sea Treaty," by John W. Wallace, May 15. We hope Mr. Wallace does not mind our excerpting it at length.
The Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) was first conceived in the early 1980's by the United Nations as a method for them to gain control of most of the activities on, over, and beneath the ocean's surface. The fundamental premise of the Law of the Sea Treaty is that the resources on the ocean's floor belong to all of the people of the world and those resources should be protected and controlled by an international organization like the United Nations. Although that may sound like a noble goal, in order to achieve this goal, the United Nations has created a multinational, bureaucratic creature called the International Seabed Authority ("ISA") and charged this entity with regulating and controlling the world's mineral resources in the oceans.
When President Reagan was president, he objected to several of the treaty's provisions that would have resulted in surrendering our nation's sovereignty and refused to sign it, but that didn't stop the proponents of world government and the New World Order. In 1994, the "progressives (a nice term used to describe communists) at the United Nations decided to keep moving forward with their plans by creating a diversion they called an "Agreement of Implementation" that was supposed to address the concerns of the United States and other industrialized nations. It didn't change anything. This new agreement was all smoke and mirrors, but our Oxford educated, globalist president Bill Clinton signed it anyway. The Senate, however, refused to ratify it, as required by the U.S. Constitution.
Proposed regulations in the new Law of the Sea Treaty will require private companies that want to conduct exploration and mining operations in international waters to submit substantial application fees to the UN's International Seabed Authority (ISA), which in turn would allow the ISA to use these application fees to partially pay for its own mining efforts through its own mining subsidy, called the Enterprise. Corporations from member nations operating in international waters would have to pay annual fees and even be taxed to pay a percentage of their profits to the ISA. These corporations would also be expected to share their mining and navigational technology with third world countries to ensure that opportunities aren't restricted to more technologically advanced. This is insane. The decision to grant or to withhold mining permits in international waters would now be decided by unelected, globalist bureaucrats at the United Nation's International Seabed Authority (ISA).
The Treaty would essentially give the United Nations, a notoriously corrupt, anti-American, anti-capitalist and un-democratic organization, the power to assert control over 70% of the earth's surface.
Using the regulations issued by the ISA, the United Nations would now be given the power to levy international fees and taxes on American companies. Mining approvals would be highly politicized and could discriminate against American operators. The United Nations would be given the power to regulate ocean research, exploration, fishing, marine environmental protection and navigation. They could even impose production quotas and licensing requirements on American fishermen operating in international waters.
The United Nations, through the ISA, would be given the power to create an international court system to render and enforce its judgments! This new system would lie outside the jurisdiction of the U.S. legal system and the U.S. Constitution, leaving American citizens and businesses at the mercy of international tribunals whose corrupt UN bureaucrats could subject them to Sharia Law or other non-Western legal traditions.
The Treaty calls for prosperous member nations like the United States to provide financial and technical assistance not only to developing countries, but also to "people who have not attained full independence or other self-governing status" (codeword for groups such as the Palestinians).
The Treaty would do irreparable harm to U.S. military and intelligence operations and would force the United States to hand over proprietary technology to less developed third-world countries, many of whom are actively hostile to U.S. interests. Giving up the U.S. Navy's long established primary mission of "maintaining freedom of the seas for all" and handing it over to a historically corrupt organization like the United Nations should be unthinkable.
The most important objection concerns Article 314 of The Law of the Sea Treaty (located in Part XVII) that empowers the LOST member Assembly, dominated by nations of the developing world, to amend the terms of the treaty over the objection of any individual member state. In other words, the terms of the treaty could be changed significantly and the United States would have to abide by those changes without the U.S. Senate having the opportunity to consent to the changes. This undermines U.S. sovereignty and is clearly unconstitutional.
The Law of the Sea Treaty creates a new United Nations' worldwide bureaucracy that will create a whole new restrictive system of destructive environmental regulations that would be costly and counter-productive to American businesses, while at the same time, handing over the hard-earned, American taxpayer money to many of our enemies.
The socialists, Marxists, globalists and other supporters of the New World Order keep pushing for this treaty. Senator Harry Reid has indicated that he might reintroduce the treaty in the Senate for a vote in the near future and Barack Obama, our socialist President, who is a long term advocate of the Law of the Sea Treaty, has indicated that he will sign it if passed by the Senate.
The Coalition to Preserve American Sovereignty has brought an open letter to the senate, coordinated by Frank Gaffney, with the signatures of nineteen notables. This letter is featured in The Minority Report, which would also expose a separate, false-hood front group calling itself The American Sovereignty Campaign, purporting itself as pro-sovereignty while lobbying for LOST. The American Sovereignty Campaign – interesting – almost as if someone's email or telephone conversations were caught. Oh well. It is a common practice for immoral Marxists and other ideological movements sponsored by the kleptocratic central bank complex to either attempt to control their opposition, or to set up an operation posing as a faction of it.
Sen. Kerry summoning a political jiu-jitsu pose
It is again time for immediate and forcefully amassed communications to U.S. Senators of all kinds, even their numerous Fabianists. A two-thirds majority is required to approve a treaty, but these people are being heavily pressured by the kleptocracy and their globalist co-conspirators.

Another response, though typically of lesser impact, a petition to the senate is being sponsored by conservative PAC, Right March.
Following is notable and extensive analysis from the recent past.
"Media Prepare Russian Treaty Trap for the U.S." (specifically on LOST) by Cliff Kincaid, August 2011
"National Ocean Council & Executive Order 13547; Obama's Latest Assault on Liberty," by Henry Lamb, July 2010 (and yes, the massive false-hood Agenda 21, environmentalist movement is rife in this)
Reject the Law of the Sea Treaty (2007-2008, Coalition to Preserve American Sovereignty – CLOST)
"Our Global Neighborhood," by Henry Lamb, Sovereignty International, 1996
Video from 2007, "CPAS LOST Issue Ad," by the aforementioned group
It is past time to move beyond fear of being called a "conspiracy theorist" by pointing out the past, present, and impending future of the concerted efforts of globalist movements and the criminal financial powers behind them. If you agree, please see the activist organization of which we who have prepared this article are a part. If you agree with SovCam's Mission, join us.
And call your two senators. If they are not on the Foreign Affairs Committee tell them to have a chat with those who are. Since America's well-being and vital sovereignty require this treaty to never be approved, so do their careers.

A plan of action…
Call for your US Congressman to support HR 75 and contact all Foreign Affairs Committee members to move the 'Get Out of the UN' bill to the floor for a vote ASAP. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/committees/HSFA
Next step onto the Senate while we still have the ability to protect our sovereignty.
It's up to We, the People to keep our Republic. Ben Franklin told us so.

Q: Error on branch creation: "warning: refname 'master' is ambiguous." I've had simple project being managed in a Git repository. To date I haven't intentionally created any branches, but when I tried to create my first today using
$ git branch mybranch

I see this error:
warning: refname 'master' is ambiguous.
fatal: Ambiguous object name: 'master'.

Digging deeper:
$ git branch -a
* master
remotes/master/HEAD -> master/master
remotes/master/master

Is this normal to see in Git? Have I cloned my repository incorrectly? What is the best way to resolve this problem?

A: The rules for how revision specifications are interpreted are given in gitrevisions(7) (referenced from git(1), among other bits of documentation).
In short, master matches two patterns when applied to the refs in your repository: a local branch (refs/heads/<name>) and the default remote-tracking branch of a remote (refs/remotes/<name>/HEAD).
These can be disambiguated by using heads/master for the local branch and master/HEAD (or master/master in your case) for the remote-tracking branch.
As Andrew Marshall mentions, you might want to rename your remote to avoid having to disambiguate in the first place.

A: It seems it's ambiguous because your remote name and branch name are both master. You can try renaming the remote to the more conventional origin by running
git remote rename master origin

A: In my case HEAD branch was ambiguous and solved by deleting local branch using
git branch -d HEAD

may need to push changes before not to lose changes
