OpenProj | Great and free alternative to Microsoft Project.

2010-01-22T23:37:00.001-08:00

OpenProj is a free, open source project management solution. OpenProj is a replacement of Microsoft Project and other commercial project solutions. The OpenProj solution has been download more than 1,250,000 times in the few months since launch and is being used in over 142 countries. A free download of OpenProj is available here and is distributed under the CPAL license. OpenProj is ideal for desktop project management and is available on Linux, Unix, Mac or Windows. It even opens existing Microsoft or Primavera files. OpenProj shares the industry's most advanced scheduling engine with Project-ON-Demand and provides Gantt Charts, Network Diagrams (PERT Charts), WBS and RBS charts, Earned Value costing and more. There is literally no time or effort involved in switching to OpenProj, and your teams can manage projects on any platform for free. Projity worked closely with leaders in the commercial and open source industries in preparation for the release of OpenProj. It is a welcome addition, not only for project management users, but also for users in all software segments. Microsoft Project retails for $999.99, is installed on 7% of all Office desktops and drives over $1 billion in revenue for Microsoft. OpenProj fills an important gap in the desktop market, as a key component in the Office family of products now has a replacement available on Linux, Unix, Mac or Windows. OpenProj was also selected for inclusion with Star Office suite boxes in Europe. The OpenProj solution has been translated into French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Swedish, Finnish, Galician, Persian, Russian, Korean and Chinese. We are looking for further documentation and translation assistance. If you are interested contact us.

Toxic metals may influence autism severity. — Environmental Health News

2010-01-19T03:31:00.001-08:00

Adams, JB, M Baral, E Geis, J Mitchell, J Ingram, A Hensley, I Zappia, S Newmark, E Gehn, RA Rubin, K Mitchell, J Bradstreet, and JM El-Dahr. 2009. The severity of autism is associated with toxic metal body burden and red blood cell glutathioine levels. Journal of Toxicology doi:10.1155/2009/532640.

Synopsis by Michele A. La Merrill, Ph.D.

Children with higher levels of metals – such as lead and antimony – in their urine had more severe autism, suggesting that metal levels in their bodies may contribute to its seriousness.

The severity of a child's autism coincided with the levels of toxic metals excreted in their urine after treatment with a metals removal therapy, finds a study published in the Journal of Toxicology. The higher the levels of lead, antimony and other metals excreted, the more severe was the child's autism. The findings hold true across four independent tools used to assess autism severity.

The results suggest to researchers that these metals may contribute to the degree of autism symptoms in the children. Because these children had autism before the toxic metals were measured, the study does not address whether the metals cause autism or the sources of the metals.

Autism is a severe disorder that impacts social, communicative and behavioral function. It is increasingly diagnosed in young children and affects them for life. While widespread, its cause is not known.

Some researchers have noticed that autism symptoms are similar to symptoms associated with toxic metal poisoning. Because of this, mercury, lead and other metals have been scrutinized for possible links to autism. Yet, even though some human research evidence suggests a relationship between metals and autism, the exact relationship remains a mystery.

Sixty-three children aged 3 to 8 years old participated in the study. The children had no mercury dental fillings and were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Researchers assessed the severity of autism using tools developed to either diagnose the condition or monitor the symptoms.

Measurements of toxic metals were taken from children’s urine before and after children were treated with oral dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA). DMSA is a medication approved for infant lead poisoning, though doctors sometimes use it to treat toxic exposure to other metals, like mercury. None of the children in the study had ever been treated with DMSA.

Lead and antimony excreted after the DMSA treatment were consistently associated with autism across the four severity assessment tools used. Mercury, aluminum and tin were associated with some – but not all – of the severity assessment tools. DMSA treatment significantly decreased urinary lead levels, as expected. This therapy also effectively removed a number of other toxic metals from the children, including tin, bismuth, tungsten, thallium, antimony and arsenic.

In these kinds of studies, the level of one type of metal found in a child is related to the level of another type of metal found in the same child. So even though the levels of lead and antimony in this study correlated to autism severity across all four of the assessment tools used, the researchers cannot be sure which of the individual metals measured relate to autism severity in this study. Identifying autism severity in people with only lead or antimony exposure might help to solve this question.

This study raises more questions about the role of toxic metal exposures in the severity of autism spectrum disorder. A larger study that assesses autism severity both before- and after- DMSA treatment, while documenting the effectiveness of DMSA treatment, would lend further credibility to the notion that toxic metals influence autism severity.

This study suggests that DMSA is effective therapy to remove a variety of toxic metals from children. Regulatory agencies could evaluate the treatment and develop appropriate treatment guidelines for DMSA uses.

How to pronounce that name?

2009-07-04T01:07:00.001-07:00

My new company has a Vietnamese office packed with skillful developers. One thing about Vietnamese, as with my previous encounters with them is how I’ve always had trouble figuring out how to pronounce their name, until I found this tool online for just this purpose : http://www.howtosaythatname.com/ (I really like website with name that means exactly what it does. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about this techblog).

This site is easy to use. Just search for the name, find the match, then click the Play button to hear the pronunciation. One thing good about this site is that the pronunciation are actually spoken by a native speaker, so they are pretty much accurate.

While we’re at it, I joined my company’s in-house training yesterday. The product guru was introducing the C++ language and its creator – Bjarne Stroustrup; and how he wasn’t sure how to pronounce the name correctly. Too bad www.howtosaythatname.com doesn’t have a section on Scandinavian names yet. All is not lost! Apparently, Mr Stroustrup himself is aware of this and even has a section on his homepage here teaching people how to pronounce his name. I’m reposting his wave file here.

The size of Wikipedia

2009-06-22T23:24:00.000-07:00

I still remember my good old Encyclopedia Britannica at home. 20 years back, it was around 30 volumes, and has remain there since then. But do you know how big is Wikipedia ? According to itself, there are around 13 millions articles, which is equivalent to a staggering 953 volumes of Encyclopedia Britannica!

According to this article, somebody actually gotten around to convert 1/10000 of Wikipedia into printer material, and here is how it looks like – HOLY! Imagine 10000 of this book in your library!
