• Daily Kos: That was my brother's death you were cheering, you a$$holes Updated

  To all of those tea-jadist assholes at last night’s GOP debate: I don’t generally like to use profanity, but I fear that English is above your comprehension level, so in terms you might better understand, may God damn your worthless souls to hell for all eternity.
  
  I had not planned on watching the debate because it conflicted with more important activities, like a new episode of The Closer.  But even more importantly, it was being held at a time when I had committed to posting a diary for The Grieving Room.  That diary was about the death of my brother from a very painful, uninsured struggle against metastatic cancer.

• Google Dart to “ultimately ... replace JavaScript”

  The following keynote will be held at the GOTO Aarhus 2011 Conference on Monday, Oct. 10, 2011:
  “Dart, a new programming language for structured web programming”
  This post explains what Dart is all about and how it relates to JavaScript.
  Google’s strategy for JavaScript
  Unless another source is mentioned, all of the following quotes come from a Google email that was written in November 2010. It summarized a Google-internal discussion:
  On November 10th and 11th, a number of Google teams representing a variety of viewpoints on client-side languages met to agree on a common vision for the future of Javascript.
  The agreed-upon “common vision” was to develop a new programming language called “Dash” (which was later renamed to “Dart”).
  The goal of the Dash effort is ultimately to replace JavaScript as the lingua franca of web development on the open web platform.

• The Facts on the Safety and Effectiveness of HPV Vaccine - Sexual Health and Sexually Transmitted Infections - Public Health Agency of Canada

  There are two types of HPV vaccines approved for use in Canada, Gardasil® and Cervarix ®. The Gardasil® vaccine was approved in Canada in July 2006. The vaccine is effective in preventing the types of HPV that are responsible for 70 per cent of cervical cancer. It is approved for males and females aged 9 to 26. The Cervarix® vaccine was approved for use in Canada in February 2010 for females aged 10 to 25, and is effective in preventing the same types of HPV responsible for 70 per cent of cervical cancer. HPV is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in Canada, and the majority of cervical cancers are caused by this infection. Despite the effectiveness of HPV vaccination, vaccinated females must continue to have regular cervical cancer screening.
