U.S.A.H1N1 Vaccines, 195 Million Doses: Availability, Safety Issues
2009-09-22 20:43:00 Ari Brown, M.D.-- AVAILABILITY Q. Does your office have swine flu vaccine yet? No. Medical providers have not received their shipment of swine flu vaccine yet. We anticipate getting the first shipment in mid-October. The U.S. plans to have 195 million doses of H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine, but it will be distributed in several batches on a weekly basis. Q. Will the vaccine be a shot or a nose spray? Well, there will be both forms of the vaccine. The FDA has approved three flu shots from three manufacturers and one nasal spray from another manufacturer. Q. What is the difference between the three H1N1 shots? All three vaccines protect against just one strain of influenza—H1N1. They will NOT protect against the other flu strains we typically see in the fall and winter season. They are all inactivated vaccines. And like the seasonal flu vaccines, these vaccines are created with egg product, so people with egg allergies need to steer clear. Here are the key differences: CSL B...

Mozilla Firefox - Stability Issues Solved With Help Of Multiprocess Browsin
2009-07-31 05:56:00 It is important to understand what multiprocess browsing is all about before one can understand its implications for Mozilla Firefox. This feature which has been introduced by Google Chrome is soon going to be a part of the Firefox web browser as well. As on date, the working of the Firefox web browser can be compared to an inverted pyramid. The source code of the web browser is the narrow tip of the pyramid. It is on this tip that the entire functioning of the web browser stands. Hence, each and every page rendered by the Firefox web browser is a part of a single process. All the processes are inter-related. Once multi process browsing is incorporated, each and every tab opened in the Firefox web browser shall be an independent process. The functioning of the Firefox web browser is similar to that of a bungalow. All the rooms of a bungalow may be separate but are still a part of the same structure. On the other hand, multi process browsing converts each and every room into indep...

2009-07-10 09:18:00 Late last night (KST), I was reviewing my free MyBlogLog stats and noticed 8 visitors had stopped by the blog. Usually, by that time, mysysad would have had several hundred visits. I surfed over to the domain and verified it was down (this blog is hosted on the blogger.com platform and it is pointing to a custom domain).

TRAI issues draft guidelines for mobile number portability
2009-07-02 11:38:00 It seems TRAI wants to leave no stone unturned for smooth implementation of Mobile Number Portability in India. It has therefore issued a draft legislation to clear the uncertainty surrounding the introduction of mobile number portability. The draft guidelines describes the rights, obligations and duties of both the telecom operators in consideration for the changing of telecom operators by subscribers. The draft guidelines lays down major rules such as: A mobile subscriber shall be eligible to make a request for “porting” (changing) his mobile number upon expiry of a period of ninety days from the date of activation of his present mobile connection. The recipient operator, within five days of receiving a written request, has to carry out subscriber verification according to the guidelines for acquiring a new user. Upon verification, the request is to be forwarded to the donor operator (to whose network such mobile subscriber number currently belongs) for ...

Working With Chinese and Korean Lawyers. The Big Four Issues With Each.
2009-04-19 08:13:00 Last year, I wrote an article for the Complete Lawyer, entitled, "Working with Korean and Chinese Lawyers." I was originally asked to write on working with Asian lawyers, in general, but convinced the magazine to allow me to focus on just China and Korea. I asked for this limitation because I did not believe myself experienced enough in working with lawyers from other Asian countries to write about working with them and, more importantly, because I did not see enough similarities to talk of Asia as a whole. I was reminded of that article today after receiving a complimentary email from a Chinese lawyer studying law here in the United States. An article like this has to generalize a bit and there are certainly exceptions to everything I say, but having worked with dozens of law firms in Korea and China, I have noticed the following four problems in dealing with lawyers from those two countries, respectively: KOREA 1. Non-responsiveness is the norm. American lawyers generall...

It's mostly old issues of "The New Yorker."
2009-04-06 22:44:00 These days, at our house, it's all about the HD-- high definition -- TV. The Boy and Sweetie and probably the Babies!, too, swear by it.Me? I've got bad eyesight and never get to choose the shows we watch. I read a lot.But the kids and Sweetie love HD TV and think that there's really something to it, and that it's going to stick around. Which means that I can maybe score points with the family by taking advantage of the niceness being displayed by Charter these days.Charter is concerned that cable companies are getting a bad rap and to combat that, they're trying to prove that they deserve, well, a better rap. To earn that better rap, Charter is giving away a 22" flat screen HDTV every day in April, in a contest open to any existing customers who upgrade, or to new customers.All you, or I, have to do is go to their website at www.charter.com -- it's among the easiest to use, and lets the customer build a "service bundle" that exactly meets their needs.

Norks Launch Missile, Obama Issues Statement
2009-04-05 12:58:00 Norks launch missile, New York Times: SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea defied the United States, China and a series of United Nations resolutions by launching a rocket on Sunday that the country said was designed to propel a satellite into space, but that much of the world viewed as an effort to prove it is edging toward the capability to shoot a nuclear warhead on a longer-range missile. The one issues a statement: North Korea’s development and proliferation of ballistic missile technology pose a threat to the northeast Asian region and to international peace and security. The launch today of a Taepo-dong 2 missile was a clear violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1718, which expressly prohibits North Korea from conducting ballistic missile-related activities of any kind. With this provocative act, North Korea has ignored its international obligations, rejected unequivocal calls for restraint, and further isolated itself from the community of nations. We wil...

2009-03-20 05:00:00 Jim Rohrbach, a top-rated timer for over 3 decades -- and one who successfully side-stepped the recent decline -- just issued a buy signalin his Investment Models timing service."I am a mechanical investor. Each day my proprietary RIX indicator converts the stock market action into numbers that represent the trend of the market."These numbers then trigger buy or sell signals for the NYSE and the Nasdaq. It's that simple. And because the readings are mathematical, there is subjective interpretations. "No guessing, no predicting, and no anticipating. I never try to out-guess my strategy.I act on every signal, without question, because I know that over the past 39 years I have caught every major up move and I have avoided every major decline."Big up moves do not come very frequently, so you have to take advantage of it by staying in the market until it peaks and turns down.

The shaky economy is one of the biggest topics right now in NASCAR, on one hand in the Cup series, some teams are seeing new sponsors come in, but on the other hand, while the Cup Series has seen growth, the Nationwide Series and the Truck Series haven’t and has forced some teams to close down due to lack of sponsors, so in light of this, what can NASCAR do with the Na...

Obama Issues Memorandum Ordering Reduced Wastefulness in the Federal Procur
2009-03-10 14:34:00 On February 18, the Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) director Peter Orszag issued guidance to agencies regarding the administration of federal Stimulus funds. Just this past week, on March 4, President Obama signed a memorandum designed to reform federal government contracting. These directives mark the beginning of reform in the world of government contracting, and reflect the greater accountability and transparency the new administration promises to American taxpayers. The OMB memo requires agencies to submit spending and performance data to the new website http://www.recovery.gov on a regular basis. The website is a web portal that demonstrates exactly how the Stimulus funds are being spent, and it calls itself the “centerpiece” of efforts to implement the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act with “accountability and transparency.” In a video message to Americans on the website, President Obama pledges greater accountability and transp...
