In the text today Jesus challenges the Law's provisions to end a marriage and upholds God's intention that, when two people marry they join in a holy bond. This bond unites them as one; it is a bond that lasts until death. In the "wholeness" of God's reign, they are no longer two, but one flesh."
If something as vital and important as marriage were left in our trembling hands, we would be in trouble. But take comfort, your marriage is in . . .
If something as vital and important as marriage were left in our trembling hands, we would be in trouble. But take comfort, your marriage is in the hands of Jesus. He takes the hands of Christian husbands and wives in His own and guides them down the path of selfless love, folds their hands around His own and teaches them how to pray, opens His bountiful hands and pours down blessings of peace, harmony and companionship on married partners.
Take time to read Jesus' words and pray together. Find satisfaction in worshipping at each other's side. Consider it an honor to kneel next to your spouse as together you receive Jesus' living body and blood. Let Jesus place His hands on you and your marriage. "What God has joined together, let man not separate."
The holiest vow that two can make The bond that none may dare to break The vow that bindeth man and wife With God they'll keep these vows for life.

The Audacity of Educated Hope
by Henry Giroux
Most recently a number of progressive pundits have argued that with the election of Barack Obama to the presidency, intelligence and hope are once again not only embraced but promoted as part of an essential element of American culture. At work in this discourse is a qualified endorsement of Obama's emphasis on hope, one that is audacious in its reach and courageous in its ability to see beyond the wretched cynicism and inflated self-interest that accompanied the embrace of an unchecked and unprincipled market fundamentalism celebrated with great fervor since the Reagan revolution of the 1980s. But the country needs more than a notion of hope that is audacious; it needs a conception of educated hope, one that is both bold in its vision and keen in its understanding that only by supporting those institutions that provide the conditions for an educated citizenry can reform actually work in the interest of sustaining a substantive democracy in which hope as a precondition for politics itself.
Educated hope begins in opposition to a long legacy of privatization and corporatization that has shaped the public imagination, especially with respect to public and higher education. Oddly enough, Obama seems to miss this. He is a strong advocate for education that is engaged, critical, and on the side of public service an yet he reduces the goal of higher education to providing a competitive work force, while supporting some of the most reductionistic and instrumental elements of educational reform. What are we to make of Obama's call for educational reform in the public school system, one that celebrates intelligence and public service while endorsing the brain-dead methods of drill and skill testing schemes and pay for performance objectives that have so guttered public schooling for the last eight years. These approaches are not about schooling but training and punishment. In fact, they are methods that have been used as part of the right-wing war on public schooling that has been going on in full blast since the Reagan era. What is one to make of the audacity of hope in Obama's appointment of Arnie Duncan as Secretary of Education–more well known for supporting bankrupt accountability schemes, charter schools, and establishing military academies for those kids viewed as disposable. Similarly, where is the audacity of hope when it comes to rescuing higher education from the creeping hand of corporatization and militarization that now structures the governance and research initiatives in so many these schools.
In opposition to the corporatizing of everything educational, parents, teachers, intellectuals, and young people need to define and reclaim public and higher education as a resource vital to the democratic and civic life of the nation. At the heart of such a task is the challenge for academics, cultural workers, and labor organizers to join together and oppose the transformation of public and higher education into a consumer oriented corporation more concerned about accounting than accountability.1 As Zygmunt Bauman reminds us, schools are one of the few public spaces left where students can learn the "skills for citizen participation and effective political action. And where there is no [such] institutions, there is no "citizenship" either."2
Defending public and higher education as a vital public sphere is necessary to develop and nourish the proper balance between democratic public spheres and commercial power, between identities founded on democratic principles and identities steeped in forms of competitive, self-interested individualism that celebrate selfishness, profit making, and greed. This view suggests that public and higher education be defended through intellectual work that self-consciously recalls the tension between the democratic imperatives or possibilities of public institutions and their everyday realization within a society dominated by market principles. If formal education is to remain a site of critical thinking, collective work, and social struggle, public intellectuals and progressive social forces need to expand its meaning and purpose. That is, they need to define public and higher education as a resource vital to the moral life of the nation, open to working people and communities whose resources, knowledge, and skills have often been viewed as marginal. The goal here is to redefine such knowledge and skills to more broadly reconstruct a tradition that links critical thought to collective action, human agency to social responsibility, and knowledge and power to a profound impatience with a status quo founded upon deep inequalities and injustices.
There is more at stake here than recognizing the limits and social costs of a market fundamentalism that reduces all relationships to the exchange of goods and money, there is also the responsibility on the part of critical intellectuals and other activists to rethink the nature of the public. In addition there is the need to address new forms of social citizenship and civic education that have a purchase on people's everyday lives and struggles expressed through a wide range of institutions. In light of this profound crisis of spirit, vision, and economics now facing the nation, I believe that academics and others bear an enormous responsibility in opposing Obama's courtship with neoliberal values by bringing democratic political culture back to life. Part of this challenge suggest creating new locations of struggle, vocabularies, and subject positions that allow people in a wide variety of public spheres to become more than they are now, to question what it is they have become within existing institutional and social formations, and "to give some thought to their experiences so that they can transform their relations of subordination and oppression."3
In part this suggests that it is important for educators, parents, young people and others to take Obama's notion of hope seriously by resisting his administration's use of neoliberal values to shape any discourse about educational reform. At the same time, the defense of education as a democratic public sphere should extend to further efforts to push the Obama administration in providing the financial and ideological support for giving all students regardless of race, ethnicity, or class position access to a quality education that does not carry the burden of life long debt. Of course, in the first instance, Obama must recognize that education is more than a financial investment, it is an investment in educating future generations to what it means to take seriously not only their own sense of civic courage and agency, but the need to struggle for a democracy that is never finished and always has to be on guard in not allowing itself to degenerate in to a new form of authoritarianism.
Obama is right in wanting to revitalize the language of civic education as part of a broader discourse of hope, but this discourse must extend to the conditions that make political agency and critical citizenship possible in a global world, and to ground such a call in defense of militant utopian thinking as a form of educated hope. Utopianism in this context suggests that any viable notion of the political must address the primacy of pedagogy as part of a broader attempt to revitalize the conditions for individual and social agency while simultaneously addressing the most basic problems facing the prospects for social justice and global democracy.
Educators need a new vocabulary for linking hope, social citizenship, and education to the demands of substantive democracy. I am suggesting that educators and others need a new vocabulary for connecting how we read critically to how we engage in movements for social change. I also believe that simply invoking the relationship between theory and practice, critique and social action will not do. Any attempt to give new life to a substantive democratic politics must address both how people learn to be political agents and, what kind of educational work is necessary within what kind of public spaces to enable people to use their full intellectual resources to both provide a profound critique of existing institutions and struggle to create, as Stuart Hall puts it, "what would be a good life or a better kind of life for the majority of people."4
As educators, writers, parents, and workers we are required to understand more fully why the tools we used in the past feel awkward in the present, often failing to respond to problems now facing the United States and other parts of the globe. More specifically, we face the challenge posed by the failure of existing critical discourses to bridge the gap between how the society represents itself and how and why individuals fail to understand and critically engage such representations in order to intervene in the oppressive social relationships they often legitimate.
At his best Obama's notion of hope signals something crucial about the bankruptcy of the old political languages and the need for a new vocabulary and vision for clarifying our intellectual, ethical and political projects, especially as they work to reabsorb questions of agency, ethics, and meaning back into politics and public life. But this is not the language of post-partisanship and consensus, it is the language of civic responsibility, engaged citizenship, power, and social justice. Along these lines, Sheldon Wolin has argued that we need to rethink the notion of loss and how it impacts upon the possibility for opening up democratic public life. Wolin points to the need for progressives, theorists, and critical educators to resurrect and raise questions about "What survives of the defeated, the indigestible, the unassimilated, the 'cross-grained,' the 'not wholly obsolete'."5 He argues that "something is missing" in an age of manufactured politics and pseudo-publics catering almost exclusively to desires and drives produced by the commercial hysteria of the market. What is missing is a language, movement, and vision that refuses to equate democracy with consumerism, market relations, and privatization. In the absence of such a language and the social formations and public spheres that make it operative, politics becomes narcissistic and caters to the mood of widespread pessimism and the cathartic allure of the spectacle. Instead of the audacity of hope, maybe we need a language that embraces a militant utopianism while constantly being attentive to those forces that seek to turn such hope into a new slogan or punish and dismiss those who dare look beyond the horizon of the given.
Hope, in this instance, is the precondition for individual and social struggle, the ongoing practice of critical education in a wide variety of sites, the mark of courage on the part of intellectuals in and out of the academy who use the resources of theory to address pressing social problems. But hope is also a referent for civic courage and its ability to mediate the memory of loss and the experience of injustice as part of a broader attempt to open up new locations of struggle, contest the workings of oppressive power, and undermine various forms of domination.
At its best, hope translates into civic courage as a political practice, one which often begins when one's life can no longer be taken for granted. In doing so, it makes concrete the possibility for transforming politics into an ethical space and public act that confronts the flow of everyday experience and the weight of social suffering with the force of individual and collective resistance and the unending project of democratic social transformation.
Educated hope involves struggle, assumes a boldness that sees beyond the discourse of consensus, and takes seriously a view of education that views learning as part of an engaged and practical politics that is inextricably linked to the quality of moral and political life of the wider society . There is more at stake here than the semantics of hope, there is the question of whether a democracy can survive without an educated citizenry.

At the beginning of the year, I decided to embark on a small year-long project. I knew there was no way I could do picture-a-day, 52 week challenge or even the 26 week challenge. Nope. I knew I would only disappoint myself and my audience. Instead, I decided to post a monthly self portrait.
If you're a photographer (professional or just the one who always carries around the camera) then you know the ratio of photos of you to photos of other people is a little skewed. Taking on the advice of a few other photographers, I decided to do a self portrait each month and post them here.
At first I thought this idea was a little egotistical. Then I realized that it was a great way for me to reflect on my month and sum it up with one image. It was a great challenge.
Though a little late, here's my January 2012 self portrait. It was such a mild winter here in Indiana that I actually LIKED when we had our one bad day of ice and stranded weather. For 24 solid hours I was stuck at my house. No internet. No TV. No husband. It forced me to pick up my camera and see the world through the lens for pleasure (something I hadn't done for a while.
Although it was just the first day of fall, I'm already thinking ahead for the holiday season.
This year, I'm offering mini-sessions in Madison, Indiana for one day only on October 29, 2011. These mini sessions are a great way to get a few images to give as gifts, update your own frames and, of course, put on your Christmas cards!
I am offering two packages, each with high resolution images and your choice of custom-designed Christmas cards. See the flier below for more information. Click to enlarge.
Please book your time now, as more than half of the slots are already filled!
As promised, here are some of my favorite images from my summer session with the band, The Wheel. These guys had me laughing the entire time and really challenged me to get my creative juices flowing.
This is my mother's 1929 Chevy. I loved that we got to use it in our session!

Tune In to the Newest Real Estate Show, 'The Biggest Deal I Ever Sold'
by Georgie Mihaila updated November 23, 2022, 4:32 pm
More and more real estate shows have been popping up on streaming platforms and network TV in the past few years, and they all have something in common: tons of drama.
From Million Dollar Listing (and its many spinoffs) to Netflix's own Selling Sunset or Buying Beverly Hills, they all follow luxury real estate agents as they work, play, and scheme against each other — more often than not, with an emphasis on the latter.
But luxury real estate is much more than just a wild competition to nab the priciest listing or to find the right deep-pocketed buyer. It's a game of skill, determination, and hard work. And the newest real estate show to enter the scene makes a point out of showing just that.
The Biggest Deal I Ever Sold, a recently launched, online-exclusive series, interviews top-performing real estate agents and dives into the unique drive, mindset, and skills that helped them close the biggest sales of their careers.
It then takes them on a journey back to their very first listing, inviting them to share past experiences and the hard-earned lessons that paved their way to success.
Which makes it a must-watch for all agents and brokers who want to perfect their craft and learn from some of the best in the business. Watch all the episodes for free on YouTube (and make sure to subscribe to the channel to see new releases — a second season is coming).
The show sets itself apart from other real estate TV series by cutting it short on the drama, and focusing more on what it takes to succeed in the business, with top agents sharing what they've learned throughout their stellar careers.
Speakers include top producers like Bill Rawlings from Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's International Realty, Susan Canavan of Canavan Coit & Associates, Geoff Bray from Engel & Völkers Minneapolis, and Thomas Wright, owner, president and principal broker at Summit Sotheby's International Realty in Park City, Utah.
The first season wraps up with a bang, interviewing Joyce Rey, the record-breaking Beverly Hills real estate agent behind some of the most expensive home sales in the United States.
Watch the episode to learn all about how she closed on her world record-setting $195,000,000 listing back in 2019 (and many other memorable deals).
The show is hosted by serial entrepreneur Bill Svoboda, and brought to you by title closing software CloseSimple.
The series' producers are welcoming submissions for luxury real estate agents to be featured on the next season, so if you know anyone that would be a good fit (yourself included), make sure to nominate them here.

CanucksArmy post game: J.T. Miller tallies four points as Canucks come out and put Canadiens to bed in third period
Photo credit:© Bob Frid-USA TODAY Sports
The Vancouver Canucks were back from a successful road trip five points out of a playoff spot.
After getting some help on the out-of-town scoreboard, the Canucks entered tonight's game just five points out of a playoff spot.
Here's how the Canucks lined up.
It was Thatcher Demko vs. Sam Montembeault. It was — what the team referred to it as, at least — a sold-out crowd with a good mix of blue and red sweaters. It's *checks notes* Wednesday night!
Tyler Motte was called for a phantom tripping penalty early on and sent the Canucks to the penalty kill in a hurry.
The Habs struggled to get set up, and then Brett Kulak was given a two minute minor for hauling down Elias Pettersson.
On the Canucks' first power play, Pettersson set up Brock Boeser for a redirect play that was stopped by Montembeault. Beyond that, the Canucks cycled the puck around but didn't manage to generate any more quality chances.
Nils Höglander was absolutely robbed on a wraparound chance, but worked hard to keep the puck. This resulted in some extended zone time in which the Pettersson line looked absolutely dominant.
The Habs iced the puck, Luke Schenn threw a massive bone-crushing hit, the fans competed in a "who can chant the loudest?" contest, but this one remained scoreless at the halfway mark of the first period with the Canucks leading 5-1 in shots.
Artturi Lehkonen opened the scoring after Luke Schenn pinched and Quinn Hughes was left on a 2-on-1. Jake Evans slid the puck over to Lehkonen, and this game had its first goal. 1-0 Canadiens.
But wait! There's more goals!
Travis Hamonic wristed a puck through traffic that found the back of the net to tie this one up at 1-1.
That was it for the first as the Canucks were overall the better team after 20 minutes of play — but not by much.
Brock Boeser was absolutely robbed on the backhand after being set up by Tanner Pearson. Mike Hoffman got his stick in on Boeser's hands, however, and was given two minutes for slashing.
Back to the power play.
Quinn Hughes found some time and space and wristed a shot that Monetembeault knocked down with his glove before the Habs cleared the puck down the ice.
The first unit struggled to break out of their own end and with less than half of the power play remaining, Bruce Boudreau sent out his second unit.
Alex Chiasson had a golden opportunity at the side of the net that Montembeault lunged across to stop with an outstretched leg.
The penalty expired, and shortly thereafter, the Canucks got caught on a brutal line change and gave up a 2-on-0 that Thatcher Demko had to be sharp to stop.
J.T. Miller then made a bad pass in the neutral zone that resulted in the Habs breaking in once again with numbers.
In his attempt to disrupt the play, Miller took a slashing penalty and sent the Habs back on the power play.
On the ensuing man advantage, Demko was once again sharp, and as he has been all season long, he was the Canucks' best penalty killer.
Josh Anderson got a penalty for closing his hand on the puck and after a TV timeout, the Canucks made quick work of the Montreal penalty kill.
After Bo Horvat won the draw, Quinn Hughes and J.T. Miller cycled the puck down low to Brock Boeser behind the net. Boeser then fired a sharp angle shot short side on MOntembealut, and after the Montreal netminder turned the chance aside, Boeser buried the rebound. 2-1 Canucks just nine seconds into the power play.
During the next TV timeout, this happened:
2-2 on Lehkonen's second goal of the game.
Tyler Myers took a cross-checking penalty with just over two minutes remaining in the period and the Canucks were back to the kill.
The Canucks killed off the penalty, and with two minutes remaining, Elias Pettersson and Conor Garland teamed up to set up Juho Lammikko for a redirect opportunity that trickled past Montembeault but stayed out after hitting the post.
This one was tied at two heading into the third.
In the intermission, Boudreau said post game that the message was clear: we need to go out and win the third period.
Let's see how they did.
The third period began with a strong shift from the Pearson-Miller-Boeser line that resulted in a couple of shots as the Canucks tried to come out with a ton of pressure on the Habs.
On their second shift of the game, Miller pickpocketed at the Montreal blue line and wired home a hard wrist shot to make it 3-2 Canucks.
The Canucks kept up the pressure, and Ben Chiarot was the next Montreal player to take a penalty when he high-sticked Tanner Pearson in front of the Habs' net.
On that power play, the Canucks continued to keep the pressure up, as Elias Pettersson burst into the Montreal zone with speed, shimmied his way around a couple of defenders, and wired home his 18th of the season to make it 4-2 Canucks.
Bo Horvat took a penalty for interference with just under ten minutes remaining, but unsurprisingly so, the team that insists on using Ben Chiarot as the point man on their first power play unit was unable to convert.
Back at evens, the Habs were able to strike when Rem Pitlick let go of a one-timer that beat Demko to make it 4-3 with just under five minutes remaining.
The Canucks began to load up their lines as they tried to close this one out and secure a huge two points in the standings.
The Canucks sent out Pettersson, Miller, and Bo Horvat to close this one out, and close it out they did. This time, it was the captain who put the icing on the cake and secure the win.
5-3 final.
The Fancies
It's hard not to give top performer honours to the four-point man J.T. Miller tonight, but Brock Boeser deserves an honourable mention at the very least.
Boeser was effective all over the ice, made some nice and simple breakout plays, and obviously scored a goal as well.
Interesting to note: On Miller, Boudreau said "he's definitely taken over as our catalyst and our leader, and that's wonderful to see because you need that at this stage of the season."
The Canucks didn't necessarily turn in a complete 60-minute effort tonight, but they got the job done against a team that looked disjointed at the best of times.
They controlled the pace of play almost all night long, and although Bruce Boudreau called the performance his club turned in "sloppy", they came away with two points and continue their improbable march back into the playoff conversation.
And given where they are in the standings right now, that's all that matters for this team: W's.
The Canucks will be back in action Friday night when they welcome the Washington Capitals to Rogers Arena for the second of their seven-game homestand.

Stop Animal Exploitation NOW!

"Exposing the truth to wipe out animal experimentation"
Primate research centers -- including the UW's -- accused of conducting redundant research
By Andrew Sengul
The Daily, the student paper of the University of Washington, Seattle.
Nonprofit investigators have alleged that internal documents from the UW's Washington National Primate Research Center (WNPRC) shed light on a history of poorly justified research, cruel experiments and wasted federal money.
"Even if you're not concerned about the pain and suffering these animals undergo, you have to wonder why we're spending taxpayer money on the same research projects over and over again," said Michael Budkie, executive director of Stop Animal Exploitation Now (SAEN).
Budkie founded SAEN in 1996 to "force an end to the abuse of animals in laboratories," and has since requested thousands of pages of documents from labs across the country in order to uncover what he sees as cruel and unethical activity at the facilities. SAEN publishes reports on animal experimentation every year, and 2005's release focused on primate research labs, including the WNPRC.
While previous animal rights campaigns have focused on alleged cruelty at research facilities, SAEN's press release was aimed at showing a pattern of redundant and unnecessary research at the WNPRC and other labs that use primates as experimental subjects.
Albert Fuchs, Chris Kaneko and Michael Shadlen, a trio of research professors in the University's psychology and physiology department, are among the most prominently featured scientists in Budkie's collection of documents. All study how the brain controls eye motion at the WNPRC, presiding over some of the center's longest-running research projects. Fuchs filed his first grant application for primate eye-tracking studies in 1971, Kaneko in 1986 and Shadlen in 1997.
"There are six muscles that control the movement of the eye, making it one of the simplest motor systems to study," Fuchs explained. "At the time I started looking at the control of eye movements, there was no data on how the brain deals with movement. Then, as I began to understand what motor neurons do, I began to work my way back to higher structures in the brain."
The three scientists perform similar experiments, but Kaneko said such a research model is necessary to investigate a system as complex as the brain. The basic procedure for primate eye-tracking experiments has remained largely unchanged since the 1970s: a monkey is strapped into a restraint chair, taught to visually track the movements of a light across a screen and given drops of water or fruit juice as a reward for successfully following the moving lights.
Electrodes implanted in the primate's skull track the direction of its eyes and the electrical activity in its brain.
In SAEN's press release, Budkie points to the high degree of similarity between the three scientists' projects as well as the length of their
grants to make a case that their research is duplicative and produces little new information.
"They might change a few variables or other minute things, but for the most part they're doing the same procedure again and again," Budkie said. "The usefulness of the data is extremely tenuous, and when you take into account the limited utility versus the very high level of expense, you have to wonder if there are other alternatives."
Among documents collected by Budkie are applications submitted by primate researchers to the UW's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC).
Whenever a professor begins or renews a research project at the WNPRC, he or she must submit a written summary of the procedure to the IACUC.
The committee must review and approve all procedures performed at the lab to ensure animals are not treated cruelly or are otherwise misused.
There is little visible difference between procedures written by Fuchs, Kaneko and Shadlen. One of the main documents cited by Budkie as proof of redundant research at the WNPRC is the transcript of an e-mail conversation between Fuchs and an member of the IACUC that was found among the animal use proposal records. The committee member was concerned over the similarities between Fuchs's proposal and that of another professor at the primate center whose name was withheld.
In the letter, the committee member writes, "I'm a little nervous that your protocol is basically identical to [name redacted]'s protocol ... is it possible that the same person prepared both protocols and made some editing/inclusion errors?"
Fuchs replied that he had included elements of the other professor's experiments in his proposal because there was a chance he would want to use them in his own research.
"With regard to the similarity of Dr. [name redacted] and my proposals, we use essentially identical procedures in our experiments. Indeed, Dr. [name redacted] learned many of them from me when he was my postdoc,"
Fuchs wrote in a letter to the IACUC's committee member.
To Budkie, the letter bespeaks a professional culture where the risks of innovative research are avoided in favor of known grant-winning topics.
"Neurological research is, in my opinion, the most redundant research out there," Budkie said. "Scientists have to deal with the publish or perish mentality and they have to bring in research dollars for their schools, so what better way to do that than with a protocol that's already been approved?"
Fuchs said it is by no means atypical for scientists to copy each others' protocols, and that experimental protocols used do not necessarily have any bearing on the content and relevance of the data produced by the experiments.
"Identical procedures are fine, but not identical experiments," Fuchs said. "The only duplication we do is of procedures that have been accepted by the scientific community. Some methods, like taking blood samples, are common to us all, and we wouldn't want to reinvent the wheel for every project. Duplication of protocols is a good thing because it means we're using the most tried-and-true methods."

A little while ago I wrote how many sites designed for mobile/smart-phone/tablet access actually make GREAT Lotus Notes side-bar widgets.
View more presentations from Mat Newman.
This is so simple to do, but also so effective. Great tip!
Any ideas on how to do an automated deployment of this widget to users ?
Once this has been added, don't check the "Authentication required" check box in step 4, then in step 5, hit the drop-down next to "Open With" and choose Xulrunner as the browser. It won't load in the preview, but it will then work in the side-bar. You can save your password later while logging-in through the side-bar widget.
@3, Tinus: Once you have the widget in your "My Widgets" side-bar panel, right-hand click the icon for the new widget and choose "Publish to Catalog". This will publish it to your corporate widget Catalog, which you can then assign a category to. Using a Desktop Policy, you can choose which widgets to push to users by Category. HTH.
Excellent job, really simple - using your post as a starting point, I did the same thing for our internal IBM Connections deployment. Looks very very shiny.
@5, Dave: My pleasure mate, just sharing the love :-) Thanks for the cross-post.
This is ridiculously good and clever. Thanks Matt!
Thanks for the posting, Mat!

GE unveils new imaging tech for diagnosing heart disease
By Holland Johnson
Medical Device Daily Associate
PARIS – The EuroPCR meeting, which has drawn a throng estimated at about 10,000 to the Palais de Congr s, is one of the few medical meetings in which industry and the medical field associate freely, even in event-sanctioned press conferences. Additionally, many of the conference events are sponsored by various device and pharmaceutical firms.
In that spirit, GE Healthcare (Waukesha, Wisconsin) reported, at a press conference of its own, on the introduction of a new cardiovascular imaging system that it believes will enhance clinicians' ability to diagnose and treat heart disease and enable more precise placement of interventional devices such as stents, balloons and filters.
The device, called the Innova 2100IQ, was unveiled here for the first time in the Salon Room of the adjoining Concorde de Lafayette Hotel.
The company said the Innova 2100IQ is capable of imaging the finest vessels and anatomy of the heart during placement of interventional devices. The new system is expected to play a critical role in helping clinicians treat a growing number of chronic heart and vascular conditions including atherosclerosis, a build-up of plaque that affects blood flow in arteries.
According to the American Heart Association (Dallas), atherosclerosis causes hundreds of thousands of heart attacks and strokes each year and accounts for nearly three-fourths of all U.S. deaths from cardiovascular disease.
Specifically, the device is what the company called a "state-of-the-art cardiac X-ray system that enables cardiologists to clearly visualize fine vessels from the heart to the legs both during diagnostic procedures and during placement of interventional devices." Developed in partnership with a team of interventional cardiologists, GE said it designed the Innova 2100IQ based on current clinical needs in the cardiac cath lab.
According to Laura King, vice president of global interventional, cardiology and surgery for GE Healthcare, this new system fits in nicely with the company's focus on performance imaging, "making sure that we can see all parts of the body."
She noted that the company is dedicated to developing technologies that improve the entire patient experience, from early and more accurate diagnosis to better treatment and management of diseases like atherosclerosis.
"We've completed more than two dozen clinical studies which demonstrate Innova's superior image quality," said King. "The Innova 2100IQ sets a new standard in cardiac image quality and enables cardiologists to visualize human vasculature more clearly than ever before."
Speaking from the physician's point of view was during the GE session was Stanley Katz, MD, chief of cardiology at North Shore University Hospital (Manhasset, New York).
Katz, an interventional cardiologist for a quarter-century and a user of GE imaging equipment for nearly 15 years, said he feels fortunate to have witnessed all of the innovations that have occurred over the last 25 years "that have helped us treat patients in a much better way."
While he said that it is pretty routine procedure now to put in stents, "there are situations where it is much more difficult."
At North Shore, he noted that his group treats a large volume of heart attack patients, nearly 300 a year, which is one of the larger programs in the country, "and that's where things become critical. If you have a good team, good skills and good equipment, you can reverse the process literally within half an hour."
Katz said one of the biggest challenges in interventional cardiology today is clearly visualizing the finest vessels and intricate anatomy of the human heart. "The Innova 2100IQ addresses this challenge by providing enhanced image quality, which enables cardiologists to more precisely perform lifesaving operations on patients with heart disease."
The new system incorporates flat-panel technology, and Katz said his hospital was one of the first to get a system from GE that incorporated that feature back in 1999, what he said was "truly an innovation," which GE spent nearly 10 years developing.
When North Shore got the first flat-panel device in the cath lab, he said it was a night-and-day difference.
"I was trying to think how to explain this to a lay audience, and I would say it's the difference between VHS tape and the DVD, or high definition television."
Another advantage to using the GE products, said Katz, who also is on the company's medical advisory board, is that it is the only company that owns its platform technology. "The competition uses third-party products, and for me that was important, because I know that the company will devote the right kind of resources to push this product to the next level – and I believe that the 2100 is the next level."
Importantly, he noted that the system uses less radiation than the standard X-ray system, "so that there's less radiation exposure not only to the patient but to the physician, who performs many of these procedures a day, as well as the staff, technologist and nurses who work in the cath lab."
Another great feature cited by Katz is tableside control, which gives the physician much greater control over all the features of the device. "In a low-volume lab, that's not [such an] important feature, [but] in a high-volume lab where you want to get where you want to quickly, it is a great addition, allowing the physician to look into every aspect of the procedure."
He said GE Healthcare has turned the X-ray imaging marketplace upside down, "because everyone [else] has to catch up with flat-panel technology."

Gladys forced to defend relationship with Maguire
Former Wagga Wagga MP Daryl Maguire (top right) attends the ICAC hearing via video link
The former premier of NSW, Gladys Berejiklian will appear before ICAC on Friday, where the onus will be on her to demonstrate that she did not exhibit a conflict of interest during the process for the awarding of grants to the Australian Clay Target Association (ACTA) and the Riverina Conservatorium of Music in Wagga.
During the period when these grants were processed Ms Berejiklian is alleged to have been in a close personal relationship with the member for Wagga, Daryl Maguire.
On Tuesday, Ms Berejiklian's former chief of staff, Sue Cruikshank, told ICAC that in 2018, after Mr Maguire had admitted to corruption at a public ICAC hearing, the premier had rung her and told her that she had had an historic relationship with Mr Maguire.
Last week and earlier this week former colleagues of Ms Berejiklian, former premier Mike Baird, current deputy premier Stuart Ayres, and former deputy premier John Barilaro, testified that Ms Berejiklian had failed to disclose her relationship but that at no time had she exhibited any special support or influence in relation to the Wagga projects. In fact she had always supported the consensus view, even when it had entailed rejection of the ACTA project.
On Thursday, Daryl Maguire gave evidence about his relationship with Ms Berejiklian. This was preceded by a motion by the premier's lawyers asking that this evidence be heard behind closed doors. However, counsel assisting ICAC, Scott Robertson, pointed out that Ms Berejiklian had given interviews to the Nine newspapers in which she had disclosed intimate personal details of the relationship, so there was no point to privacy now. The application was refused.
During his evidence, Mr Maguire said that the relationship with Ms Berejiklian had lasted from 2014 to 2019. He said that from 2015 the relationship had been close and that he and Ms Berejiklian had holidayed together and discussed having a child. However, h declined to confirm that he and Ms Berejiklian had informally discussed the grants process for the Wagga projects.
However, in the course of cross-examination Mr Robertson played a phone intercept of Mr Maguire talking to Ms Berejiklian during which she said Wagga was going to get "bags full of money".
She will no doubt be asked about this on Friday.
There appears to be little doubt that Ms Berejiklian breached the ministerial code of conduct by failing to disclose her relationship with Mr Maguire.
However, there appears to be some doubt as to how long that relationship persisted. If ICAC finds that she breached the code, the former premier may suffer some reputational damage, but it will be very limited. Beyond that, the fact that she has resigned means that there can be no further sanction.
Beyond that, it is not clear that Ms Berejiklian has been guilty of any breach of public trust in dealing with any matters involving her public duties.
Nor has ICAC produced any evidence that she was aware of any reportable corruption on the part of Mr Maguire.
Depending on the former premier's evidence on Friday, she should be exonerated of anything resembling corruption and go on to live a long life of service to the public without significant blemish.

The Daily Mail and General Trust (DMGT) media group is replacing and consolidating the financial systems of its two largest divisions as part of a plan to standardise and modernise the back-office systems.
The group's Associated Newspapers and Northcliffe Media are to replace their existing Coda and Sun finance packages with the Agresso Business World system.
Matt Page, DMGT programme director, said, "The Agresso system will enable us to share knowledge and expertise between divisions, allowing us to implement improved best practice processes that are more efficient, automated and effective."
DMGT is to implement a number of Agresso modules, including core financials, purchasing, reporting, fixed assets, travel expenses and workflow to standardise processes across 20 different businesses that previous used a variety of legacy systems.
Page said DMGT had conducted a thorough comparison of products on the market and had chosen Agresso because it met the highest number of requirements.
"Agresso also offered a high level of flexibility to accommodate business change and the company was willing to work in partnership with DMGT to strengthen some areas of core modules using DMGT's specifications," Page said.

Timezones can be complicated things - every country has its own set of rules around how to decide what time it currently is - and those rules change, frequently. Modern Operating Systems have systems in place for handling those changes. Give it a location, it will deal with the rest. Unfortunately, network devices don't have those systems, and we need to explicitly tell them how to work out what the current local time is, and when to change it to Daylight Savings Time. Here's how to do that for Cisco IOS, HP ProVision, and HP Comware systems.
HP IMC has an optional add-on module for NetFlow/sFlow Analysis called "Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA)." This comes in 10-, 20- or 50-node license packs. Based on the license names, you might think that it's as simple as counting up the number of NetFlow-generating devices in your network, and purchasing sufficient licenses. Not quite so fast.
Has HP Abandoned Operations Manager?
HP Operations Manager has been around a long time in the Enterprise server management space. I first started working with it around 2001, and I've always had a soft spot for it, but I'm ready to declare it abandoned. HP has failed to develop the product, and they now seem to be actively working on a viable alternative.
IMC or NNMi - Which One is For Me?
This is a companion post to my review of the technical differences between NNMi and IMC. That one tried to stay focused on technical matters, but this post is more opinion-based. It is intended to help potential customers decide which one is right for them. I am not going to directly compare them to the many other NMS products on the market - let's keep this to a straight HP vs HP discussion.

The surge of research activity focussing on children's acquisition of verbs (e.g., Tomasello and Merriman 1996) addresses some fundamental questions: Just how variable across languages, and across individual children, is the process of verb learning? How specific are arguments to particular verbs in early child language? How does the grammatical category 'Verb' develop? The position of Universal Grammar, that a verb category is early, contrasts with that of Tomasello (1992), Pine and Lieven and their colleagues (1996, in press), and many others, that children develop a verb category slowly, gradually building up subcategorizations of verbs around pragmatic, syntactic, and semantic properties of the language they are exposed to. On this latter view, one would expect the language which the child is learning, the cultural milieu and the nature of the interactions in which the child is engaged, to influence the process of acquiring verb argument structures. This paper explores these issues by examining the development of argument representation in the Mayan language Tzeltal, in both its lexical and verbal cross-referencing forms, and analyzing the semantic and pragmatic factors influencing the form argument representation takes. Certain facts about Tzeltal (the ergative/ absolutive marking, the semantic specificity of transitive and positional verbs) are proposed to affect the representation of arguments. The first 500 multimorpheme combinations of 3 children (aged between 1;8 and 2;4) are examined. It is argued that there is no evidence of semantically light 'pathbreaking' verbs (Ninio 1996) leading the way into word combinations. There is early productivity of cross-referencing affixes marking A, S, and O arguments (although there are systematic omissions). The paper assesses the respective contributions of three kinds of factors to these results - structural (regular morphology), semantic (verb specificity) and pragmatic (the nature of Tzeltal conversational interaction).

How do children isolate the semantic package contained in verb roots in the Mayan language Tzeltal? One might imagine that the canonical CVC shape of roots characteristic of Mayan languages would make the job simple, but the root is normally preceded and followed by affixes which mask its identity. Pye (1983) demonstrated that, in Kiche' Mayan, prosodic salience overrides semantic salience, and children's first words in Kiche' are often composed of only the final (stressed) syllable constituted by the final consonant of the CVC root and a 'meaningless' termination suffix. Intonation thus plays a crucial role in early Kiche' morphological development. Tzeltal presents a rather different picture: The first words of children around the age of 1;6 are bare roots, children strip off all prefixes and suffixes which are obligatory in adult speech. They gradually add them, starting with the suffixes (which receive the main stress), but person prefixes are omitted in some contexts past a child's third birthday, and one obligatory aspectual prefix (x-) is systematically omitted by the four children in my longitudinal study even after they are four years old. Tzeltal children's first verbs generally show faultless isolation of the root. An account in terms of intonation or stress cannot explain this ability (the prefixes are not all syllables; the roots are not always stressed). This paper suggests that probable clues include the fact that the CVC root stays constant across contexts (with some exceptions) whereas the affixes vary, that there are some linguistic contexts where the root occurs without any prefixes (relatively frequent in the input), and that the Tzeltal discourse convention of responding by repeating with appropriate deictic alternation (e.g., "I see it." "Oh, you see it.") highlights the root.

The aim of this paper is to discuss an inherent difficulty of PET (and fMRI) research in language production. On the one hand, language production presupposes some degree of freedom for the subject, on the other hand, interpretability of results presupposes restrictions of this freedom. This difficulty is reflected in the existing PET literature in some neglect of the general principle to design experiments in such a way that the results do not allow for alternative interpretations. It is argued that by narrowing down the scope of experiments a gain in interpretability can be achieved.

The human language processor is conceived as a system that consists of several interrelated subsystems. Each subsystem performs a specific task in the complex process of language comprehension and production. A subsystem receives a particular input, performs certain specific operations on this input and yields a particular output. The subsystems can be characterized in terms of the transformations that relate the input representations to the output representations. An important issue in describing the language processing system is to identify the subsystems and to specify the relations between the subsystems. These relations can be conceived in two different ways. In one conception the subsystems are autonomous. They are related to each other only by the input-output channels. The operations in one subsystem are not affected by another system. The subsystems are modular, that is they are independent. In the other conception, the different subsystems influence each other. A subsystem affects the processes in another subsystem. In this conception there is an interaction between the subsystems.

No idea is older in the history of linguistics than the thought that there is, somehow hidden underneath the surface of sentences, a form or a structure which provides a semantic analysis and lays bare their logical structure. In Plato's Cratylus the theory was proposed, deriving from Heraclitus' theory of explanatory underlying structure in physical nature, that words contain within themselves bits of syntactic structure giving their meanings. The Stoics held the same view and maintained moreover that every sentence has an underlying logical structure, which for them was the Aristotelian subject- predicate form. They even proposed transformational processes to derive the surface from the deep structure. The idea of a semantically analytic logical form underlying the sentences of every language kept reappearing in various guises at various times. Quite recently it re-emerged under the name of generative semantics.

Incremental sentence generation imposes special constraints on the representation of the grammar and the design of the formulator (the module which is responsible for constructing the syntactic and morphological structure). In the model of natural speech production presented here, a formalism called Segment Grammar is used for the representation of linguistic knowledge. We give a definition of this formalism and present a formulator design which relies on it. Next, we present an object- oriented implementation of Segment Grammar. Finally, we compare Segment Grammar with other formalisms.

Lean Startup is new and, it's sometimes easy to forget, mostly unproven. But it builds on older ideas that have more evidence going for them: Lean Thinking, Agile, user research and many others. These give Lean Startup a solid foundation of values and principles, but the practices of lean startup are still very much an open question. Do we really understand how to conduct customer development? How is MVP software development different? When is something "validated"? When and how should your practices change?
I approach these issues from the perspective of a longtime agile software developer turned startup employee, turned UX enthusiast, turned co-founder of my own startup. My talk will be interactive, and I hope to engage an audience coming from many perspectives--including development, UX and business--who will bring their own insights to the discussion.
Moses Hohman is co-founder of Human Practice, a web-based service that helps patients find doctors and doctors find patients through people they trust. Previously he was VP of Development at Collaborative Drug Discovery, a bay-area cheminformatics startup. He has been learning, practicing and teaching agile software development since 2000. He has a PhD in physics from what now almost seems like a former life, and he lives with his family in Chicago.

Ptolemy XIII (lived 62 BC/61 BC -January 13? 47 BC, reigned 51 BC - January 13?, 47 BC was one of the last members of the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt. Son of Pharaoh Ptolemy XII of Egypt he succeeded him in Spring of 51 BC as co-ruler of his older sister Cleopatra VII of Egypt. In October of 50 BC, he was promoted to senior ruler along with her although Potheinus acted as regent for him. In Spring of 48 BC Ptolemy and Potheinus attempted to depose Cleopatra in order for the first to become sole ruler and the second to act as the power behind the throne. They managed to make her flee Alexandria but she soon organized her own army and a civil war begun in Egypt. Soon another sister of theirs started to claim the throne as Arsinoe IV further complicating the situation.
At this point defeated Roman general Pompey came to Egypt seeking refuge from his persuing rival Julius Caesar. Initially Ptolemy and Potheinus pretended to have accepted his request but on September 29, 48 BC, Potheinus himself murdered the general in hopes of winning favor with Caesar when the victorious general arrived. When Caesar did arrive he was presented with the head of his deceased rival and former ally but reportedly instead of being pleased reacted with disgust. Cleopatra proved more successful in winning Caesar's favor and became his lover. Caesar arranged the execution of Potheinus and the official return to the throne of Cleopatra, though she had never officially abdicated, and her marriage to Ptolemy.
Still determined to depose Cleopatra, Ptolemy allied himself with Arsinoe IV and jointly they organized the factions of the army royal to them against those loyal to Cleopatra and the relatively small part of his army that had accompanied Caesar to Egypt. The battle between the warring factions occurred in middle December of 48 BC inside Alexandria itself which suffered serious damage including according to some sources the burning of some of the buildings which consisted the Library of Alexandria. The arrival of Roman reinforcements from Pergamum offered the victory to Caesar and Cleopatra and Ptolemy and Arsinoe had to flee the city. Ptolemy reportedly drowned on January 13, 47 BC while attempting to cross the Nile. Whether he was attempting to further flee or heading towards negotiations remains uncertain in our sources of the time. Cleopatra remained the unquestionable ruler of Egypt although she named their younger brother Ptolemy XIV of Egypt her new co-ruler.
