What next after Wikileaks?

The Wikileaks drama has brought forth the predictable wave of comment from around the world. Much of it is directed against the ISI and its manipulations but the story of Pakistan’s alleged involvement in Afghanistan should also be making Washington think about several things. The first is why the war has continued for so long in the Pakistan-Afghanistan region in the first place and whether enough is being done to bring it to an end. The longer this conflict continues the more the complications will arise from it. Of course, we cannot deny the complicity of our own establishment and its intelligence agencies in this but we also need to look at the larger picture — and that is of the war in Afghanistan and how it needs to be fought and how the extremists can be beaten.
As we said in this space a day earlier, one immediate consequence of the leaks should be that the Pakistan government and the military realise that while our interests in a stable Afghanistan are legitimate and means to realise that should be explored, that should not mean that we continue supporting and aiding the Taliban and their allies. However, by the same token, as many of the classified documents released by Wikileaks show, the war in Afghanistan is extracting a heavy price from ordinary Afghans. Many times civilian deaths are passed on as insurgents killed in successful military action. As expected this is doing just the opposite to winning the hearts and minds of Afghans by reinforcing their perceptions that the foreign forces are nothing more than invaders interested solely in killing. Our point is that while armed action against militants may have some role to play it should not be the only line of action. The root causes behind the rise of militancy need to be addressed and the presence of foreign troops has only exacerbated that. Of course, the militants and their handlers next door are also to blame but one should not lose sight of the larger picture — and that is that war is the antithesis of peace and that it has no winners. America needs to face up to this fact if it genuinely wishes to see peace in the region.

Boy Scout Troop 20, from West Point, Iowa (1979??)
This photo was taken by the town newspaper for some reason. I didn't even know about this photo until a couple of years ago the newspaper was cleaning out it's archives throwing away stuff, and thankfully one of the workers recognized my friend Jim in the front row on the right. They gave it to his mom who made copies for all of us. Of course I think my copy is the only one that wound up on a website.
I honestly don't know why my brother is the only one with a neckerchief on, (or why my Scout rank is on the wrong side). And of course you noticed that I am wearing one of the old style collarless uniforms. I'm not sure why I am the only one.
None of us can remember why this picture was taken and the newspaper unfortunately doesn't have any records of it. Hopefully it was because we did something good. :-) | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5526 | {"url": "http://troop33.net/pics/Ted/imagepages/image4.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "troop33.net", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:42:56Z", "digest": "sha1:VWY5JKXRE6U26LT27SKOCG23RI4U6WFZ"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 865, 865.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 865, 889.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 865, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 865, 4.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 865, 0.99]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 865, 214.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 865, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 865, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 865, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 865, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 865, 0.54123711]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 865, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 865, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 865, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 865, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 865, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 865, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 865, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 865, 0.03129657]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 865, 0.04470939]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 865, 0.03576751]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 865, 0.03092784]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 865, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 865, 0.12371134]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 865, 0.64071856]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 865, 4.01796407]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 865, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 865, 4.41838317]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 865, 167.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 456, 1.0], [456, 699, 1.0], [699, 865, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 456, 0.0], [456, 699, 0.0], [699, 865, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 51, 9.0], [51, 456, 80.0], [456, 699, 50.0], [699, 865, 28.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 51, 0.13636364], [51, 456, 0.0], [456, 699, 0.0], [699, 865, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 456, 0.0], [456, 699, 0.0], [699, 865, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 51, 0.11764706], [51, 456, 0.01481481], [456, 699, 0.02469136], [699, 865, 0.01204819]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 865, 0.0043906]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 865, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 865, 0.00140584]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 865, 8.67113547]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 865, 5.03092519]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 865, -79.18236603]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 865, 10.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |
This War Too Is A Lie
Monday, 09 September 2013 12:28 By David Swanson, War Is a Crime | Op-Ed Tweet
Some smart people thought, and perhaps some still think, that the 2003-2011 war on Iraq was unique in that it was promoted with the use of blatant lies. When I'd researched dozens of other wars and failed to find one that wasn't based on a foundation of similar lies, I wrote a book about the most common war lie varieties. I called it War Is A Lie.
That book has sold more than any of my others, and I like to think it's contributed some teeny bit to the remarkable and very welcome skepticism that is greeting the U.S. government's current claims about Syria. The fact is that, were the White House telling the truth about the need for an attack on Syria, it would be a first in history. Every other case for war has always been dishonest.
The United States sought out war with Mexico, not the reverse. There was never any evidence that Spain sank the Maine. The Philippines didn't benefit from U.S. occupation. The Lusitania was known to be carrying troops and arms. The Gulf of Tonkin incident never happened. Iraq didn't take any babies out of incubators. The Taliban was willing to turn bin Laden over to be tried in a neutral court. Libya wasn't about to kill everyone in Benghazi. Et cetera. Even wars that people like to imagine as justified, such as World War II, were nonetheless packaged in lies; FDR's tales about the Greer and the Kearney and supposed secret Nazi maps and plans were a step on the steady trajectory from Woodrow Wilson to Karl Rove.
The idea that Syria used chemical weapons is more plausible than the idea that Iraq had vast stockpiles of chemical, biological, and (in some versions) nuclear weapons and was working with al Qaeda. But the evidence offered in the case of Syria is no stronger than that for Iraq. It's harder to disprove merely because there's nothing to it: no documentation, no sources, no science. Congress members who have seen the classified version say it's no better than the declassified. Experts within the government and reporters in Syria who have seen more than that say they don't believe the White House's claims. The assertions masquerading as a case come packaged in dishonest claims about how quickly Syria gave access to inspectors, and are written in a manner to suggest far greater knowledge and certainty than they actually assert on careful examination. The latest claims follow a series of failed claims over a period of months and stand to benefit a Syrian opposition that has been found repeatedly to be manufacturing false propaganda aimed at bringing the United States into the war. It seems, at this point, unlikely that the Assad government used chemical weapons two weeks ago, and already certain that even if it did, President Obama and Secretary Kerry don't know it -- they've only guessed it at best. The debate over chemical weapons, itself, is framed by the lie that a law against chemical weapons can be enforced by one nation attacking another. In fact, Syria is not a party to the Chemical Weapons Convention. If it were, it would be subject to prosecution in court. In any event, it is subject to the judgment and action of the world and its courts, not of one vigilante representing 4% of the world. The bizarre idea that bombing a country can be a form of law enforcement dishonestly hides the fact that the action itself violates the U.N. Charter and the Kellogg Briand Pact.
Wars, a central lie maintains, are fought against evil. But Assad is not the devil incarnate. He's a horrendously awful ruler, pushed in bad directions by those around him as much as they by him. He's someone who has proposed disarmament in the past and been rejected by the United States. He's someone who has done evil things in cooperation with the United States, including lawless imprisonment and torture. He's not going to eat American children in their sleep. He's never threatened the United States, and has shown remarkable restraint in the face of threats by the United States and the CIA's efforts to undermine and attack his government. Residents of the United States in search of dangers to get excited about shouldn't arrive at Bashar al Assad until far, far down the list past poor diet, poor healthcare, lack of exercise, automobiles, obesity, industrial pollution, unsafe workplaces, gun accidents, chain saws, lightning strikes, and countless other causes of death. Wars, a common lie holds, are fought in defense. But Syria is no threat to the United States, and when President Obama suggests that theoretically it could be, the laughter you hear from most listeners is the correct response. The White House hasn't sought to build much of a case for "defensive war" against Syria, even on the Benghazi model, and that deficiency is a major weakness. Most people have no tolerance for non-defensive wars. Exceptions are sadists and believers in humanitarian bombings, or -- to name a category that encompasses both of those groups -- imperialists.
The Syrian government is, like any government the United States wants to attack, a brutal government that the United States worked with until recently, situated in a region full of brutal governments the United States still supports. In this case, the brutal governments still armed and supported by the U.S. government include Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, and Yemen. If the US. government wanted to reduce violence, it could end its 2001-begun war on Afghanistan, it could end its drone strikes, and it could stop supplying Saudi Arabia with cluster bombs and Egypt with tear gas and Bahrain with ex-police chiefs. Wars are not driven by generosity, despite what you'll often -- and increasingly -- hear.
We've also been hearing that President Obama has no choice. He's painted himself into a corner. War simply must happen now, for better or worse. This is nonsense, of course. If Kennedy could back off from a nuclear pissing match with Khrushchev, then surely Obama can accede to the opinion of the United States and the world on the matter of Syria. Had Kennedy prioritized stupid machismo, we wouldn't admire him more. We wouldn't do anything at all. We'd all be dead or never born. Wars, despite a common lie, are not inevitable.
Violence doesn't reduce violence, despite the prevalence of this lie. Wars are not ended by enlarging them. Adding violence to the Syrian civil war will kill directly, escalate the killing by both sides, risk further escalation into a regional conflict, exacerbate a refugee crisis, damage existing aid operations, and make a cease-fire and negotiations more difficult. Killing some Syrians and blowing up some Syrian buildings will leave Assad with exactly whatever "impunity" he had before -- particularly if no nations pursue his indictment in any court for any crimes. But those Syrians killed and everyone else impacted indirectly will be worse off, not better.
As war drags on and expands, the arguments for continuing it will be retaliation against the attacks of other nations, even if our nation provoked them, and the almost religious duty to "support the troops." But the dirty little secret hidden by that shiny lie is that the troops don't benefit from adding years to each quagmire. The troops, in fact, suffer -- often severely. Wars are not prolonged for the good of soldiers, no matter what your television says. They're prolonged for politicians and profiteers.
The beneficiaries of a U.S. attack on Syria will be war profiteers, their political servants, media outlets that gain higher ratings, and a gang increasingly dominated by al Qaeda-affiliated groups that is seeking power in Syria through the use of vicious violence that is illegal in its entirety. War makers do not have noble motives.
A U.S. war on Syria, short or long, will not be fought by armies on a battlefield. It will be fought by missiles and planes and drones in and above the neighborhoods where men, women, and children live. The human, societal, and environmental damage will be something that too many parts of the world are familiar with but the United States itself is not.
This war, like others of its sort, will not be won. Syria was not going to be the first case in which a war was based on honesty. It's also not going to be the first place where a humanitarian war benefits humanity. It's not going to be the first place where the U.S. military builds a stable democratic nation. It's not going to be the first nation whose people are grateful for such an intervention. And it's not going to involve anything that could be properly called a victory.
The deepest lie at the route root of this drive for war is perhaps the lie that a nation can prepare for war, dumping its energies and resources into every possible plan for every conceivable war, and yet manage to avoid those wars unless they are forced upon it as a "last resort." This next dishonest, immoral, illegal, unpopular, murderous, atrocity-laden, uncontrollable, environment-destroying, rights-eroding, money-wasting war will come relentlessly, ineluctably, it will come . . . unless we compel our government to consider other possible courses of action, including that of actively working for peace through a posture of respect for others that would require a bit of truthfulness.

The Cal-Berkeley men's swim team is considered a heavy favorite for the 2011 NCAA team title, and head coach Dave Durden talks about the team's journey to March. Durden says the team isn't cruising through the season and is not too focused on that singular meet, but approaching each day as it comes, including this week's USA Swimming nationals.

North Korea tells China of fresh nuclear tests

North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un - Source: US ABC
NZ condemns North Korean nuclear test
North Korea has told its key ally, China, that it is prepared to stage one or even two more nuclear tests this year in an effort to force the United States into diplomatic talks, said a source with direct knowledge of the message.
Further tests could also be accompanied this year by another rocket launch, said the source, who has direct access to the top levels of government in both Beijing and Pyongyang.
North Korea conducted its third nuclear test on Tuesday (Wednesday NZT), drawing global condemnation and a stern warning from the United States that it was a threat and a provocation.
"It's all ready. A fourth and fifth nuclear test and a rocket launch could be conducted soon, possibly this year," the source said, adding that the fourth nuclear test would be much larger than the third, at an equivalent of 10 kilotons of TNT.
The tests will be undertaken, the source said, unless Washington holds talks with North Korea and abandons its policy of what Pyongyang sees as attempts at regime change.
North Korea also reiterated its long-standing desire for the United States to sign a final peace agreement with it and establish diplomatic relations, he said. North Korea remains technically at war with both the United States and South Korea after the Korean War ended in 1953 with a truce.
In Washington, US State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland urged North Korea to "refrain from additional provocative actions that would violate its international obligations" under three different sets of UN Security Council resolutions that prohibit nuclear and missile tests.
North Korea "is not going to achieve anything in terms of the health, welfare, safety, future of its own people by these kinds of continued provocative actions. It's just going to lead to more isolation," Nuland told reporters.
Initial estimates of this week's test from South Korea's military put its yield at the equivalent of 6-7 kilotons, although a final assessment of yield and what material was used in the explosion may be weeks away.
North Korea's latest test, its third since 2006, prompted warnings from Washington and others that more sanctions would be imposed on the isolated state. The UN Security Council has only just tightened sanctions on Pyongyang after it launched a long-range rocket in December.
Pyongyang is banned under UN sanctions from developing missile or nuclear technology after its 2006 and 2009 nuclear tests.
North Korea worked to ready its nuclear test site, about 100 km from its border with China, throughout last year, according to commercially available satellite imagery. The images show that it may have already prepared for at least one more test, beyond Wednesday's subterranean explosion.
"Based on satellite imagery that showed there were the same activities in two tunnels, they have one tunnel left after the latest test," said Kune Y. Suh, a nuclear engineering professor at Seoul National University in South Korea.
Analysis of satellite imagery released on Friday by specialist North Korea website 38North showed activity at a rocket site that appeared to indicate it was being prepared for a launch.
North 'not afraid' of sanctions
President Barack Obama pledged after this week's nuclear test "to lead the world in taking firm action in response to these threats" and diplomats at the UN Security Council have already started discussing potential new sanctions.
North Korea has said the test was a reaction to "US hostility" following its December rocket launch. Critics say the rocket launch was aimed at developing technology for an intercontinental ballistic missile.
"(North) Korea is not afraid of (further) sanctions," the source said. "It is confident agricultural and economic reforms will boost grain harvests this year, reducing its food reliance on China."
North Korea's isolated and small economy has few links with the outside world apart from China, its major trading partner and sole influential diplomatic ally.
China signed up for international sanctions against North Korea after the 2006 and 2009 nuclear tests and for a UN Security Council resolution passed in January to condemn the latest rocket launch. However, Beijing has stopped short of abandoning all support for Pyongyang.
Sanctions have so far not discouraged North Korea from pursuing its nuclear ambitions.
"It is like watching the same movie over and over again," said Lee Woo-young, a professor at Seoul's University of North Korean Studies. "The idea that stronger sanctions make North Korea stop developing nuclear programmes isn't effective in my view."
The source with ties to Beijing and Pyongyang said China would again support UN sanctions. He declined to comment on what level of sanctions Beijing would be willing to endorse.
"When China supported UN sanctions ... (North) Korea angrily called China a puppet of the United States," he said. "There will be new sanctions which will be harsh. China is likely to agree to it," he said, without elaborating.
He said, however, that Beijing would not cut food and fuel supplies to North Korea, a measure it reportedly took after a previous nuclear test.
He said North Korea's actions were a distraction for China's leadership, which was concerned that the escalations could inflame public opinion in China and hasten military build-ups in the region.
The source said he saw little room for compromise under North Korea's youthful new leader, Kim Jong-un. The third Kim to rule North Korea is just 30 years old and took over from his father in December 2011.
He appears to have followed his father, Kim Jong-il, in the "military first" strategy that has pushed North Korea ever closer to a workable nuclear missile at the expense of economic development.
"He is much tougher than his father," the source said. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5531 | {"url": "http://tvnz.co.nz/world-news/north-korea-tells-china-fresh-nuclear-tests-5343077?ref=rss",

Salcedo has made two rehab appearances for the GCL Twins. He has thrown three innings in those two appearances and struck out a batter an inning. There were two runs scored in his second appearance but both were unearned runs. He hasn't walked a batter since his return to the mound.
It will be nice to see if he can still make something out of the rest of the season.
Salcedo continued his road back from injury with his second start in the GCL on Friday night. He is still limited on the amount of pitches that he can throw. So in 2.1 innings on the mound, he allowed two earned runs with one walk and one strike out. For the second start in a row, there were two unearned runs scored against Salcedo so the error might have caused his pitch count to rise a little more than the team wanted. Since returning from injury he has thrown 5.1 innings and allowed two earned runs with one walk and four strike outs.
After his rehab assignment in the GCL, Salcedo is back with the Miracle. He pitched three innings in his first outing back in Fort Myers and it was perfect by any means. He gave up three runs on six hits but it was good to see that he didn't walk anyone in this appearance. He should get into another game in the next couple of days as the team continues to stretch him back out.
Salcedo is back on the DL.....same arm troubles???
Unfortunately, this is the case. I can't find much information about the nature of the injury but I am guessing that it is more of the same issue. Wondering if surgery is the next step or what the process will be for the rest of the season.
I should have written this previously... Salcedo's original injury was elbow-related... this time, he is on the DL with shoulder issues which he likely sustained overcompensating for his elbow.

The Orange FA Cup Ball: Not The Only Fruit
By Ian on Nov 8, 2010 in English League Football, Latest | 9 comments It began on Friday evening, with confused glances as the teams took to the pitch for the match between Rochdale and FC United of Manchester with the referee holding an orange ball. A fireworks display just up the road from the ground meant that there was a thin layer of smoke hovering over Spotland. Was this the possible reason for using a ball which, under floodlights and a certain degree of what could best be described as “murk”, wasn’t far short of invisible? It certainly seemed like an odd choice, and supporters of lower division and non-league clubs spent much of the weekend wondering what was going on as the ball was used at all ties.
The answer, of course, was marketing. The orange ball, which spent its weekend largely being disparaged by anyone that took one glance at it, is the Umbro Hi Vis Neospark. The usual claims are all there – it utilises laser technology for a “truer” flight, and so on – but none of this amounts to a hill of beans if people watching the matches are having difficulty even seeing it. The blurb makes reference to “classic orange colour that inspires memories of famous FA Cup encounters from the past”, all of which points to somebody at either Umbro or the FA deciding that it would be a good idea to introduce an orange ball for this competition.
The idea of “retro” may be appealing to marketing types, but there is a good reason behind many technological innovations within the game. Without them, referees would still signal stoppages in play by waving a handkerchief and goalposts would still have tape across the top of them instead of a crossbar. So it has been with the technology of the football itself. When some clubs first experimented with floodlights in the nineteenth century, balls were soaked in whitewash in order to make them more visible. It wasn’t, however, until the 1950s and 1960s that colour of the football changed from deep, mahogany brown or orange to white, and the key motivator behind the change was television.
On black and white television sets, a dark coloured ball was next to useless. White balls were more visible to the television viewer, and for the 1970 World Cup the Adidas Telstar took this innovation to its next logical step by using black and white panels in order to make the ball even more visible on black and white television sets. The orange ball became something of a collectors item, only to be seen on now covered pitches in the depths of winter, and even these have become more and more rare with the increase of undersoil heating technology in the late 1970s. The latest “innovation” has seen the Premier League switch to a luminous yellow ball during the winter, and it has been claimed that this is “more visible” than a white ball, but this is counter-intuitive to everything that we see at matches themselves.
Now, the FA Cup has got involved. Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of watching three full matches using the Umbro Hi Vis Neo and, fortuitously, these three matches were all played in broadly different conditions. The Rochdale vs FC United match was played in poor visibility and at night, and the ball was next to invisible. On Saturday afternoon, the match between Brighton & Hove Albion and Woking was played in overcast conditions, but during the day. The visibility of the ball was better than it had been the evening before, but not by a great deal. On Sunday lunchtime, the match between Southport and Sheffield Wednesday was played in bright sunshine and visibility of the ball was again improved, but still left a lot to be desired.
It was pretty clear – and this is so obvious that it barely needs stating – that the biggest factor behind the extent of how visible this ball was for the crowd (and, presumably, therefore the players as well) was the level of sunlight. Equipment manufacturers have claimed before that players can see the ball milliseconds more quickly in various different colours, but whether we should trust this research is a different matter altogether. The cynical response to such research would be to think that this has got far more to do with selling different coloured footballs as merchandise than it has to do with visibility for players or spectators. On the evidence of last weekend, the argument that the ball being used for the FA Cup this season is more visible than a white ball seems far-fetched, to say the least.
Interestingly, though, a quick Google for “Umbro Hi-Vis NeoSpark” doesn’t yield any results, which would indicate that the balls aren’t available for sale just yet. This, we could argue, was a missed trick by Umbro, since with the judicious application of a sharp knife and a candle the Hi-Vis Neospark would have made a convenient replacement for a pumpkin over halloween. The ball has come in for some criticism already, with Cambridge United (whose Paul Carden stated that, “It’s orange and it resembles kicking a pumpkin. All the lads have been saying it feels very light, so we’ll see how it goes”) and Bournemouth, who still managed to put five goals past Tranmere Rovers with one on Saturday, already expressing their concerns over it.
The FA Cup has been under siege in recent years ffrom those that would seek to disparage it, and there are many vested interests that would seek to continue this debasement of the world’s oldest cup competition. Clubs from the Premier League and the Championship do not get involved in the competition until January, so this story may not get a great deal of attention before then. This means that the FA and Umbro do still have the opportunity to set this straight, should they choose to. The alternative is running the risk of ridicule in January, when the biggest clubs enter this year’s competition. The FA Cup has already shown many signs of the green shoots of recovery this season, from supporters sick to the back teeth of the avarice and predictability of the Premier League. Mockery from the tournament’s naysayers won’t fatally damage it, but it seems unlikely that it will help, either.

The interesting thing I would like to know is if any colour-blind people have had any problems seeing it.
I remember the Baker & Kelly call from a guy who was watching a game where they started with the orange ball as there was still snow on the pitch and after a while, the snow had melted and he had to go home because he couldn’t see the ball.
One benefit for the TV companies is that it makes it extremely difficult to watch the games in ways other than *ahem* ‘authorised’ methods.

November 8, 2010 I’m mildly red-green colourblind and didn’t have any problems with it at Dagenham-Orient on Saturday, although I suspect under floodlights it might be more of an issue. The main objection I had to it was that it looks more like a plastic thing you’d buy from a big net outside a shop along a seafront.
November 8, 2010 The ball looked like a budget offering to me too, at AFC Wimbledon v Ebbsfleet. I hadn’t watched the Friday night game so at first I didn’t know the new ball was a commercial ploy. I half-wondered if it was just the first one that had come out of the ref’s bag, but when further orange balls kept replacing the ones that were booted over the Kingsmeadow stands it became obvious that there was more to it than that.
Strangely, given the Paul Carden comment, some of the other fans at the game thought the ball looked heavy. Is orange a heavy colour? Personally, I think it was the players who made it seem that way.
November 9, 2010 The balls couldn’t have been that heavy as most of Wimbledon’s shots ended up in New Malden……………

November 9, 2010 Maybe the “haevy” look is due to memories of the old orange plastic balls you used to get that were (at least to my young perceptions) a ton weight and painful to head…..
The whole thing with footballs and technology is strange anyway IMO – the manufacturers keep going on about how the ball is the roundest ever, smoothest, and then the players find that it doesn’t respond the way they expect. You get the impression there needs to be a lot more thought into the physics of it – does a perfectly round, smooth ball actually fly as true as a more conventional stiched ball like the Tango?
Albert Ross
November 9, 2010 It’s my understanding that the smoother a ball is, the less true it flies. The Jabulani had dimples added to its surface for that very reason.
Disclaimer: I only got a C in my physics A-level.
November 9, 2010 It’s rubbish.
November 9, 2010 I’m also mildly red-green colour blind, and I did have trouble picking the ball out when play was on the far side of the pitch. The ball also seemed to be bouncier than the standard balls.
November 9, 2010 @William – yes, the dimples/ridges are there to try and address the smoothness issue, I did more reading after posting and found however that there is still the possibility of unpredictable (or at least different from conventional ball) motion due to the aerodynamic effects. This article is not for the faint-hearted, but suggests that somewhere in the 40-50mph region the Jabulani can have a “knuckleball” type effect, and may also fly further. This makes sense if one considers the advances in golf ball technology often focus on the dimples – one company is now offering one with an asymmetric pattern that claims to straighten a hooked or sliced ball! I get the impression that the football designers are not quite at that point, but it does mean that different types of ball can legitimately be found to work differently for anything struck in the air.

UC student Derek Wolfe presents senior art exhibit
WILLIAMSBURG, Ky. – The University of the Cumberlands Art Department hosted a reception for student Derek Wolfe, Corbin, Ky., in the campus’ J.M. Boswell Art Gallery on Friday, April 13. The reception was held to celebrate Wolfe’s achievements in his senior art exhibit, on display in the Boswell Gallery during the preceding week. The mediums displayed in Wolfe’s exhibit highlight the diversity in his work, and included charcoal, clay, oil on canvas, chalk pastel plaster and wood construction. “I like to experiment with all types of things,” said Wolfe of his varied collection of artwork. “That’s what all this came from.” Wolfe double majors in art and business management information systems, and hopes to someday own his own computer repair shop. Although he isn’t certain of the direction his artistry will take him, he plans to continue in some form. “It’s been my hobby since I was really young,” he said. “I’ve always liked doing it.” This summer Wolfe plans to serve as resident assistant at UC. Although when asked he said he has no set plans for after graduation, his fiancé piped up, “he plans to get married!” Wolfe is the son of Laura Stern and the late Donnie Wolfe, and the fiancé of fellow student Dayna Hill. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5534 | {"url": "http://ucumberlands.edu/media/release.php?rk=1266", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "ucumberlands.edu", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:27:43Z", "digest": "sha1:BWW7OCXWKSARI6FHDBKDDCBPFUS2647C"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1282, 1282.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1282, 1885.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1282, 2.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1282, 9.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1282, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1282, 262.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1282, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1282, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1282, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1282, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1282, 0.35820896]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1282, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1282, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1282, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1282, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1282, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1282, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1282, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1282, 0.02028986]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1282, 0.03285024]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1282, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1282, 0.02985075]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1282, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1282, 0.17164179]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1282, 0.640553]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1282, 4.76958525]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1282, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1282, 4.64924305]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1282, 217.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 1282, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 1282, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 51, 8.0], [51, 1282, 209.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 1282, 0.00166667]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 1282, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 51, 0.07843137], [51, 1282, 0.04467912]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1282, 0.61259317]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1282, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1282, 0.68716723]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1282, -61.14672013]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1282, 43.91638569]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1282, -61.61317108]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1282, 16.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |

My Activities for Open Access Week 2011
Open Access Week 2011: #OAWeek
Today marks the launch of Open Access Week. This is a global event, now in its 5th year, which promotes Open Access as a new norm in scholarship and research. As described in last year’s summary about the event:
“Open Access” to information – the free, immediate, online access to the results of scholarly research, and the right to use and re-use those results as you need – has the power to transform the way research and scientific inquiry are conducted. It has direct and widespread implications for academia, medicine, science, industry, and for society as a whole. This year’s summary of the campaign encourages people to become actively involved with the campaign:
Every year, research funders, academic institutions, libraries research organizations, non-profits, businesses, and others use Open Access Week as a valuable platform to convene community events as well as to announce significant action on Open Access. The Week has served as a launching pad for new open-access publication funds, open-access policies, and papers reporting on the societal and economic benefits of OA.
I agree that it is important to become actively involved in open access activities – being a passive supporter can mean that one is consuming open resources provided by others, rather than actively engaging in the transformation of the research culture which the campaign is seeking to do. I’m looking forward to seeing the #OAWeek tweets (which is archived on TwapperKeeper) in which people will be describing what they are doing. In this post I’ll describe how I have engaged in open access in the past and how I am supporting the Open Access Week 2012 campaign, beyond registering on the Open Access Web site.
Back in 2005 in a paper entitled “Let’s Free IT Support Materials! ” I argued that support service departments, which should include libraries as well as IT Service departments, should be taking a lead in embracing openness by making training materials, slides and documentation available with a Creative Commons licence.
For several years I have been making my slides available under a Creative Commons licence. As an example on Thursday I will be giving a talk entitled “What’s On the Technology Horizon?” at the ILI 2011 conference. The talk will describe work commissioned by the JISC Observatory (which is being provided by UKOLN and CETIS) which has identified technological developments which are expected to have an impact on the higher education sector over the next four years or so. It is pleasing that open content has been listed as a development which is expected to have a significant impact across the sector with a time-to-adoption horizon or one year of less. It is clearly appropriate that my slides for the talk are provided with a Creative Commons licence:
It should also be noted that permission will be granted for live-blogging and live streaming of the talk, with permission being clarified on the second slide of the presentation, as illustrated.
The licence to share live presentations is one aspect of UKOLN’s long-standing involvement in organising and participating in amplified events and in advising others of best practices in the provision of such events. We are currently developing guidelines for amplified events as part of our involvement in the JISC-funded Greening Events II project.
In addition to describing possible environmental benefits which can be gained by enabling a remote audience to participate in events, we will also describe additional benefits which can be gained by adopting a more open approach to events as described by my c0lleague Marieke Guy in a post on Openness and Event Amplification.
However so far I have summarised ways in which myself and colleagues at UKOLN have supported differing aspects of open access in the past. I feel there is a need at the start of Open Access Week 2011 to outline new and additional ways in which the benefits of open access can be further enhanced.
A change to the licence conditions for posts on this blog was announced on 12 January 2011 when I described how Non-Commercial Use Restriction Removed From This Blog. This post described how
The BY-NC-SA licence was chosen [in 2005] as it seemed at the time to provide a safe option, allowing the resources to be reused by others in the sector whilst retaining the right to commercially exploit the resources. In reality, however, the resources haven’t been exploited commercially and increasingly the sector is becoming aware of the difficulties in licensing resources which excludes commercial use, as described by Peter Murray-Rust in a recent post on “Why I and you should avoid NC licence“.
I have therefore decided that from 1 January 2011 posts and comments published on this blog will be licenced with a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 licence (CC BY-SA).
However the share-alike clause can also provide difficulties in allowing others to reuse the content. Although I would encourage others to adopt a similar Creative Commons licence I realise that this may not also be achievable. So rather than requiring this as part of the licence, I will now simply encourage others who use posts published on this blog to make derived works available under a Creative Commons licence and limit the licence conditions to a CC-BY licence which states that:
to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work
to make derivative works
to make commercial use of the work

Posted in Cooperative Extension | Lobster Institute to Host Holiday Lobster and Wine Feast to Honor Maine Lobster Chefs of the Year
Monday, November 23rd, 2009
Contact: Cathy Billings at (207) 581-1443
ORONO — The Lobster Institute at the University of Maine is planning a Holiday Lobster and Wine Feast on Thursday, Dec. 3 in Orono to celebrate a mother and son who are the last two winners of the Maine Lobster Promotion Council’s Lobster Chef of the Year Award.
Margaret McLellan took that honor in 2008; her son, MacKenzie Arrington, won the award this year. Their award-winning dishes will be served at the Dec. 3, event, which will also feature McLellan and Arrington discussing their creations.
The event will also include Big Claw wine, just released this summer after having been created specifically to pair with lobster. A panel of wine and food professionals guided the design of Big Claw, created by Steve Melchiskey of USA Wine West (with offices in California and Maine) and Tim Wissemann of Portland’s Mariner Beverages. Sales of Big Claw benefit the Lobster Institute.
As an additional treat, UMaine’s female student a capella group, Renaissance, will provide entertainment.
The event is a fundraiser that will support the Lobster Institute’s efforts to help sustain a healthy lobster resource and vital lobster fishing communities. It is scheduled at Wells Conference Center at the University of Maine in Orono, starting with a 6:30 p.m. reception, followed by dinner and entertainment. Cost is $150 per couple or a table of eight for $500.
Those interested in attending can contact the Lobster Institute at (207) 581-1443 or check the Lobster Institute’s website at www.lobsterinstitute.org.
Posted in Campus Announcements | New Holiday Light Options Can Cut Electric Bills
Contact: Donna Coffin, Extension educator, 207-564-3301, dcoffin@extension.umaine.edu
DOVER-FOXCROFT — The holiday season is here and many homeowners and renters celebrate the spirit of the season with indoor and outdoor holiday lights. Elaborate lighting displays, however, can result in elevated electric bills.
Donna Coffin, UMaine Cooperative Extension educator in the Piscataquis County office, advises that holiday celebrants now have an opportunity to reduce their electric bills and still show their holiday spirit — with the new light-emitting diode (LED) lights.
LED holiday lights are very energy-efficient and will save money during the holiday season, making them ideal decorations, Coffin says. LED lights are virtually indestructible, last longer than standard holiday lights, reduce the risk of fire and stay lit if a single light goes out. With no filament or glass bulb in LED lights, they convert electricity directly to light without the heat.
The average cost of using a 500-foot string of the old C7 type holiday lights for six hours a day for 40 days (240 hours) is $134, according to Coffin. C7 lights are the old large light strings that get hot. Many people already have switched to mini-lights or twinkle lights, which cost about $35 a season to use. New LED holiday lights cost even less to run: less than $3 for the whole season, or 2 percent of the cost of the old C7 lights. Many families may find they can pay back the cost of new LED lights in one season, says Coffin.
LED flickering lights, which imitate flickering candles without the fire hazard, smoke or dripping wax, also are available, she adds.
Other cost-saving options for holiday lighting include fiber optic lighting that allows the illumination of multiple light points from one light source. Also, candelabra compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) are great for candlesticks, use about 80 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs and last 10 times longer. “Rope lights” also are suitable for indoor or outdoor use, and are ideal for decorating trees or for outlining doors and windows, Coffin says.

Posted in Cooperative Extension | UMaine Annual Commemorative Ornament Program Benefits Student Organizations
Contact: Richard Young (207) 581-4184
ORONO — Every year, the University Bookstore—the University of Maine’s official bookstore—commissions the design of a UMaine ornament. Each edition is carefully crafted of the finest materials and depicts a university landmark or symbol.
However, the real beauty of the ornament is how it benefits others. Through its annual commemorative ornament program, the bookstore provides the proceeds from ornament sales to a UMaine student organization that works to help others. This year’s selected beneficiary is the UMaine Engineers Without Borders student group.
While the organization is based on campus, its impact is far-reaching.
“Over two thousand miles southwest of us lies Dulce Vivir, a remote village established only four years ago on the outskirts of Dulce Nombre, Honduras,” explains Sean Higgins, a civil engineering major who’s the organization’s co-president. “Though residents’ homes were built strong, high ground water causes their latrines to overflow and, as a result, many of the residents get sick every year. We have designed a solution to their problem, and thanks to the contributions by the University Bookstore, we are one step closer to implementing this solution and improving the quality of life for the people o fthis well-deserving community.”
Richard Young, UMaine’s director of Auxiliary Services, noted that stories like these that get to the heart of the ornament program, which began in 2003.
“The students in these organizations dedicate their energy and talent to making a difference,” Young said. “We at the University Bookstore are honored to recognize their important work through the ornament program. We area student-focused organization, and this initiative is a special way that we can give back.”
The 2009 ornament, as well as the complete collection, is available at the University Bookstore, located on the lower level of Memorial Union on the University of Maine campus. Ornaments are also available through the University Bookstore website at www.bookstore.umaine.edu.
Previous beneficiary organizations have included Alternative Spring Break, Gamma Sigma Sigma and Alpha Phi Omega, Rotaract, Colleges Against Cancer and the Central American Service Association.

Posted in Campus Announcements | $2 Million Correll Gift to Boost UMaine Efforts in Energy Research, Graduate Education and Literacy
Contact: Joe Carr at (207) 581-3571
ORONO — Alston D. “Pete” Correll and Ada Lee Correll of Atlanta, Georgia, have provided a $2 million gift to the University of Maine. The gift will be directed to four key areas at UMaine, where Pete Correll received two master’s degrees in engineering, one in 1966 and one in 1967.
The Corrells are highly respected community leaders and philanthropists in their home state of Georgia, where they were recognized last week as “Philanthropists of the Year” by the Atlanta chapter of the Association for Fundraising Professionals. That award recognized their work to enhance Atlanta’s healthcare, cultural and educational resources.
The Correll gift will support four priority areas at the University of Maine:
• a new Presidential Chair in Energy which will enable UMaine to recruit a leading national expert in offshore wind and tidal energy development. Together with the university’s recent $8 million federal grant supporting the development of this new technology, this gift will fortify UMaine’s position as an international leader in the field;
• new graduate fellowships (scholarships) for each of UMaine’s five colleges and scholarship funds in the Dept. of Ecology and Environmental Science;
• a new Professorship in Early Childhood Literacy in UMaine’s College of Education and Human Development;
• an unrestricted “excellence” fund allowing UMaine President Robert Kennedy to address immediate priorities and enhance programs not covered by state funding, tuition or endowments.
“It’s so much more fun to give money away than it is to earn it,” Pete Correll says. “It makes us feel really good if we can have an impact on a certain number of people and give them a chance they wouldn’t have had otherwise. That’s as good a feeling as you can have in life.”
“This extraordinary gift will have a significant positive impact on the University of Maine, and we are most thankful to Pete and Ada Lee for their generosity,” Kennedy says. “It will help us to enhance our teaching and research activities in areas of critical importance to our state and its future. This gift represents a landmark moment for UMaine and we look forward to using it to reinforce the institution’s unique and vital role as the state’s research and graduate education university.”
Pete Correll, chair of Atlanta Equities, a new company he founded, retired recently from a 40-year-career as a highly respected and visionary international leader in the forest products industry. During his tenure at Georgia-Pacific, he transformed that company into a global consumer product powerhouse. Under his leadership, G-P garnered the best safety records in its industry sector, became a better environmental steward, and greatly expanded opportunities for women and minorities.
Ada Lee Correll began her career as a school teacher in Old Town, where she started a lifelong commitment to children and young people. In addition to raising the Corrells’ two children, she has devoted her life as an effective community leader, working to enhance the quality of life for all Georgians. She currently chairs the Emory University School of Medicine’s $500 million fundraising campaign.
“We are passionate about education and children. That’s why the educational component was included in the gift,” says Ada Lee Correll, who also noted that their time living in Maine had a transformative impact on their lives.
“We left Maine a whole lot more prepared to deal with the world than when we moved there, and we remember our time at the university and in the community fondly,” she says.
Several UMaine officials also applauded the gift and praised the Corrells’ generosity and foresight in helping to advance the university as the state’s premier research and teaching institution.
“Hiring a Correll Presidential Chair in Energy is critical to the University of Maine’s research efforts and the future economy of Maine,” says College of Engineering Dean Dana Humphrey. “It will help us move forward in the effort to develop offshore wind and tidal energy and develop a cost effective source of power to further the state’s economy,” he says.
The gift will go a long way in attracting more high quality graduate students, says Daniel Sandweiss, dean of the Graduate School. Because the graduate fellowships are funded for five years rather than the typical three and because they come with a higher than average stipend, “we will be able to recruit really excellent students – most of whom will be doctoral students – who will contribute to the research and education mission of UMaine,” he says.
The Correll Professorship in Early Literacy will be the first named professorship in the College of Education and Human Development.
“This is a significant development, which will enhance UMaine’s leadership role in research and scholarship in this important field of study,” says College of Education and Human Development Dean Anne Pooler. “We have faculty members with international stature in literacy studies, the Correll Professorship will provide important new opportunities.”
The University of Maine System Board of Trustees formally accepted this gift at its meeting today in Bangor.
Posted in Campus Announcements, Engineering | UMaine Selected for Membership in Research Organization
ORONO — Recognizing the University of Maine Climate Change Institute’s international prominence in climate science, the prestigious University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) has selected UMaine for membership. The organization’s member institutions unanimously approved UMaine’s application at its recent annual meeting.
UCAR and its associated National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) work to foster greater understanding of the Earth’s atmosphere and the systems that affect it. UCAR is a nonprofit association of research universities.
“UCAR’s invitation provides yet another example of the widespread appreciation for the work and impact of the University of Maine’s Climate Change Institute,” says President Robert Kennedy. “The Climate Change Institute exemplifies UMaine’s excellence in research on an international scale and the collaborations that will evolve from UCAR membership will enhance our opportunities to contribute in important ways to these critical fields of study.”
UCAR’s members include many of the nation’s leading research universities, including MIT, Columbia University and Georgia Tech. A full listing of affiliated institutions is online here.

Posted in Campus Announcements | Professor Emeritus David Smith 1929-2009
ORONO — Professor Emeritus David C. Smith, a Maine native and University of Maine graduate who served on the UMaine history faculty for nearly 25 years before his 1994 retirement, has died at the age of 80. Smith, who was born in Lewiston to a mother whose Maine roots dated to 1628 and a father who migrated from maritime Canada to the U.S. as a child, was also active in the community and in politics, serving as a delegate to the 1974 and 1976 Democratic National Conventions. By his own account, Smith focused his scholarly activities in four “distinct areas of historical thought,” including the history of agriculture and forestry; historical climatology; the history of women; and the life and times of H.G. Wells. He also wrote “The First Century: A History of the University of Maine, 1865-1965″ and “A History of the Maine Agricultural Experiment Station 1885-1978.”
“David Smith was among the University of Maine’s most distinguished and influential faculty members,” says UMaine President Robert Kennedy. “His prolific scholarship matched his wide range of interests, including agricultural history, the life and influence of H.G. Wells, and even the history of UMaine itself. David exemplified the land-grant university philosophy in many ways, by applying his life’s work to studying and teaching in areas critical to understanding our state in historical context. From his days as a UMaine graduate student through decades on our faculty, David Smith was truly a UMaine institution and he will be missed.”
There will be a private family gathering in the spring. A Tuesday Bangor Daily News obituary is online here.

Health Information Medical Reference Guide In-Depth Patient Education Reports Presentations Colostomy - series
Colostomy - series
Normal anatomy The colon, or large intestine, connects the small intestine to the rectum. Indication
A colostomy is done when the large intestine, rectum, or anus is unable to function normally or needs rest from normal functions. Intestinal obstruction with associated inflammation, as in diverticulitis, is a common indication for colostomy.Procedure, part1A colostomy creates an opening on the abdomen (stoma) for the elimination of stool (feces) from the large intestine (colon). Colostomies are usually performed after the diseased colon has been removed.Colostomies may be temporary or permanent. While the patient is deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia), an incision is made in the abdomen. The diseased portion of the colon is removed.Procedure, part 2
The proximal (higher) end of the healthy colon is then brought out to the skin of the abdominal wall, where it is sutured in place. An adhesive drainage bag (stoma appliance) is placed around the opening. The abdominal incision is then closed.AftercareIn more than 90% of the cases, the surgery is successful.The patient may have crampy pain after surgery as the anus tightens and relaxes. Medications to relieve pain may be used. Avoid any straining during bowel movement or urination. Soaking in a warm bath can bring additional comfort. Depending on the disease process being treated, colostomies can be removed and the colon reconnected in a second operation within weeks to months after the first operation.Version InfoLast Reviewed on 01/18/2013Harvey Simon, MD, Editor-in-Chief, Associate Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School; Physician, Massachusetts General Hospital.

It is part of a long-term effort by HHMI to increase the number of researchers who are able to turn basic science discoveries into improved treatments for patients. “It is important for Ph.D. biomedical scientists to gain an understanding of the real life medical problems faced by physicians in practice,” said William Galey, director of HHMI's graduate education and medical research training programs. “Too few biomedical scientists appreciate how their research can help change the practice of medicine or public health.” The UNC School of Medicine is one of 23 schools nationwide selected to receive up to $700,000 over four years to develop a program that brings clinical medicine into the graduate school curriculum.UNC’s Program in Translational Medicine was started in 2006 with a $800,000, 4-year, Med into Grad grant from HHMI. UNC was one of only 13 universities nation-wide who received HHMI funding to implement this type of unique and innovative training program, and is one of 11 to earn a renewal. UNC’s first group of trainees in 2006 totaled four students. Since then the program has grown to include 28 trainees representing 9 different departments. “The goal of our program is to train these rising Ph.D. researchers to be able to interact effectively with medical doctors who also do patient-based research so that discoveries at the bench can be translated seamlessly into new and improved therapies at the bedside,” said Patrick Brandt, Ph.D., UNC’s program coordinator. “A major component of the training program is that the Ph.D. students are paired with a clinical co-mentor in addition to their basic science mentor. The clinical co-mentor helps guide the trainee's research and gives them exposure to the clinic where they can learn about interacting with patients, and where they also learn the language and culture of the clinic,” Brandt said. James M. Anderson, M.D., Ph.D., professor and chair of the Department of Cell and Molecular Physiology, is the current principal investigator of the grant and director of the Program in Translational medicine. William B. Coleman, Ph.D., professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, is co-director. Starting with the new funding cycle, which begins in March 2010, Virginia Miller, Ph.D., professor of genetics and assistant dean in the School of Medicine’s Office of Graduate Education, will be the program director, with Anderson and Coleman as co-directors. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5538 | {"url": "http://unchealthcare.org/site/newsroom_OLD/news/2009/November/medintograd", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "unchealthcare.org", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:00:26Z", "digest": "sha1:X4XMLRWCLJERMKHXA7FH6Y4YHMXZO5KQ"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3496, 3496.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3496, 4401.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3496, 10.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3496, 62.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3496, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3496, 160.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3496, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3496, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3496, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3496, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3496, 0.31958763]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3496, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3496, 0.11958042]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3496, 0.11958042]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3496, 0.11958042]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3496, 0.11958042]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3496, 0.11958042]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3496, 0.11958042]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3496, 0.01048951]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3496, 0.03846154]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3496, 0.05244755]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3496, 0.04712813]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3496, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3496, 0.19145803]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3496, 0.47211896]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3496, 5.31598513]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3496, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3496, 5.06021234]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3496, 538.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 24, 0.0], [24, 45, 0.0], [45, 83, 0.0], [83, 146, 0.0], [146, 202, 0.0], [202, 244, 0.0], [244, 286, 0.0], [286, 352, 0.0], [352, 570, 1.0], [570, 3496, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 24, 0.0], [24, 45, 0.0], [45, 83, 0.0], [83, 146, 0.0], [146, 202, 0.0], [202, 244, 0.0], [244, 286, 0.0], [286, 352, 0.0], [352, 570, 0.0], [570, 3496, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 24, 4.0], [24, 45, 2.0], [45, 83, 5.0], [83, 146, 9.0], [146, 202, 8.0], [202, 244, 7.0], [244, 286, 8.0], [286, 352, 9.0], [352, 570, 33.0], [570, 3496, 453.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 24, 0.0], [24, 45, 0.0], [45, 83, 0.0], [83, 146, 0.0], [146, 202, 0.11538462], [202, 244, 0.04878049], [244, 286, 0.0], [286, 352, 0.0952381], [352, 570, 0.02830189], [570, 3496, 0.01973916]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 24, 0.0], [24, 45, 0.0], [45, 83, 0.0], [83, 146, 0.0], [146, 202, 0.0], [202, 244, 0.0], [244, 286, 0.0], [286, 352, 0.0], [352, 570, 0.0], [570, 3496, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 24, 0.125], [24, 45, 0.0952381], [45, 83, 0.10526316], [83, 146, 0.0952381], [146, 202, 0.125], [202, 244, 0.16666667], [244, 286, 0.21428571], [286, 352, 0.15151515], [352, 570, 0.07798165], [570, 3496, 0.04579631]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3496, 0.06655711]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3496, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3496, 0.76055849]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3496, -269.47360938]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3496, 1.24286302]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3496, -44.66838853]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3496, 40.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |
University of Albany Men's Basketball & Jacob Iati's Career Night Sinks Navy, 71-61, On Friday - UAlbany Sports 2012
Annapolis, Md.- Senior guard Jacob Iati goes off for a career high 26 points to lead UAlbany over Navy, 71-61, on Friday, Dec. 28 at Alumni Hall in Annapolis, Md. The 10th non-conference win for the Great Danes is the most wins before conference play in the Division I era.
"I knew he would play well because he is from York, Pa. and anytime we play in the state of Maryland, it seems like half of York Pa. shows up in support for the Iatis," said head coach Will Brown on Iati's career night.
The Great Danes were paced by Iati's 26 points on 6-of-11 shooting from behind the arc. Junior forward Luke Devlin, who has had a rough start to the season, found his rhythm tonight with 13 points on 4-of-4 shooting from the floor and Sam Rowley complimented with seven points and seven rebounds.
With the score tied 11 all, UAlbany got its offense going with a 12-0 run that was sparked by three three-pointers, two by Iati and one Hooley. The Great Danes led 23-11 with 7:00 minutes remaining in the half. Navy put UAlbany in foul trouble and hit three of four free throws cut the deficit to six, 25-19, with 3:05 left in the first.
Then a Chris Page three pointer followed by a Iati three and two made free throws along with a Luke Devlin jumper, put UAlbany back up to a double-digit lead of 11, 35-24, with 41 seconds left. Page, on the defensive side, swatted a shot then stole pass to hold the Midshipmen to 24 at their final possession.
The Great Danes opened up the second half on a 14-7 run to extend their lead to the largest of the game (19), 50-31, with 15:04 remaining. Rowley capped the run with a three-point play.
However, Navy did not let up, going on a 10-1 run to cut the deficit to six, 51-45, with 7:29 left in the game. The Midshipmen's Brandon Venturini hit two threes during the run to cut the deficit to the closest that Navy came during the remainder of the contest.
UAlbany put its foot on the gas to put Navy away by going on a 20-8 run in a seven minute stretch, 71-53. Devlin sparked the run, scoring 11 of his 13 total points. The Great Danes shot 41.7 percent (10-24) from behind the arc and out rebounded Navy, 33-29.
"We did a great job defensively in the first half but got in foul trouble as a team early and gave 18 free-throw attempts that kept Navy in the game. Then in the second we got a little lazy and they made shots, but we weathered the storm and finished strong to win the game," mentioned Coach Brown about the Great Danes 10th win of the season.
The Great Danes head back to Albany for its final non-conference game before America East play against Brown on Monday, Dec. 31. Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m.

LONG BEACH, CALIF. -- California native Ebone Henry continued her strong homecoming as the University at Albany women's basketball team triumphed over Canisius in the third place game of the Long Beach Classic, 67-47. Coming off a career-high 29 points the night before, the senior guard led all scorers with 20 points. The Great Danes finished the tournament 1-1 and defeated the Griffs for the second time this season. After a 6-6 start, UAlbany went on a 14-3 run, holding Canisius scoreless for nearly five minutes. Three straight buckets by freshman Shreesha Richards gave the Great Danes an early double-digit lead, 20-9, with 9:58 remaining in the first half. The Great Danes continued to add to their lead. With 4:13 to go in the first, UAlbany extended their advantage to 17, 30-13. As Canisius attempted to chip away with a five-point run of their own, back-to-back three's by Henry and guard Margarita Rosario put the margin back to 16, 38-22, at half. UAlbany controlled both the boards and ball through 20 minutes. They outrebounded the Griffs 23-14 and had nine steals to Canisius' 0. Henry continued on her scoring spree, ending the first half with a game-high 13 points. Another early run by the Great Danes built their lead into the second half. UAlbany went on a 12-2 run, blowing the game open, 53-31 with 14:04 to go. Richards continued to add to her point total with six points over the span. Richards and Henry led UAlbany to the final buzzer as they rolled over Canisius down the stretch, winning 67-47. The two combined for 35 points. Richards scored 15 points with a career-high seven steals. The Great Danes dominated nearly every statistical category. These included steals: 14-3, turnovers: 19-12, and rebounds: 46-36. They shot 76.5 percent (13-17) from the free throw line and 39.1 percent from the field (25-64).
"This was a great tournament for Ebone, coming home to California," said UAlbany head coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson, who has guided the Great Danes to their best-ever Division I start. "She played hard. I thought Ebone, Shereesha [Richards] and Julie [Forster] took over this game. Overall, we leave Long Beach feeling strong."
Tonight concluded the Great Danes non-conference schedule for 2012-13. They will enjoy the holiday break before getting back to action Jan. 2 against America East opponent UMBC. Tip is scheduled for 7 p.m. at RAC Arena.

UAlbany Women’s Basketball Defeats Delaware State, 79-57; Extends Win Streak to Six
DOVER, DEL. - With four players in double-digit scoring figures, led by Shereesha Richards with 16 points, UAlbany extended its win streak to six games, defeating Delaware State, 79-57, in non-conference women's basketball action on Saturday evening at Memorial Hall. The Great Danes improve to 8-2 on the season, while the Hornets fall to 2-6.
Delaware State scored the first six points of the game before UAlbany broke onto the scoreboard with a 3-pointer from Ebone Henry from the left side of the arc. The Great Danes tied the game at 17:20 as Julie Forster dished the ball to Keyana Williams under the hoop. However, the Hornets built up a 14-7 advantage with 14:39 to play on three consecutive baskets. UAlbany ended the second 6-0 run with a layup by Forster at 14:12. The teams exchanged baskets, before Megan Craig and Richards sparked the Great Danes with back-to-back buckets. UAlbany's Sarah Royals then tied the game at 20-20 with a 3-pointer from the right side. The Great Danes took their first lead of the game on the next possession, getting a trey from Lindsey Lowrie at 10:45. Lowrie nailed her second long-range shot of the night at 7:10 to push the UAlbany lead to 30-24, before Craig got a put-back to fall to put the Great Danes ahead by eight.
UAlbany continued to roll through the half, using the usual stifling defense to induce several Delaware State fouls and turnovers. The Great Danes used five good free throws to end the half - two from Forster and three from Margarita Rosario - to hold a 40-32 advantage at the break.
The Great Danes scored the first points of the second half to hold their biggest lead of the game, and followed a single free throw by DSU's Tierra Hawkins with a 3-pointer by Lowrie to extend the advantage to 45-33 after less than a minute of action.

UAlbany outscored the Hornets, 24-5, to start the second half before Kianna D'Oliveira nailed two free throws and then hit a layup to pull Delaware State back within 68-41. The Great Danes did not slow down, however, and built up a 75-54 lead before the final media timeout of the game. Richards then scored the final points of the game, and recorded a steal in the waning seconds to seal up the win.
"The first half was sluggish," said UAlbany head coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson, whose team has won its last six games by an average of 24.7 points. "In the second half, we adjusted, changed our press, and got into the flow of what we needed to do offensively. Shereesha [Richards] had another great game - she is a great spark off the bench."
Delaware State got 10 points from Jade Washington, while Tierra Hawkins and Uchechi Ahaiwe added nine apiece. The Hornets shot 45.5 percent (20-44) from the field, while committing 28 turnovers.
After Richards, who also recorded a team-high eight rebounds the Great Danes got 15 points from Lowrie, all from beyond the 3-point line.

*America East Conference opponent
ALBANY, N.Y. – The University at Albany baseball program, led by head coach Jon Mueller in his 13th year at the helm, has announced a 54-game slate for the 2013 season. The Great Danes will play 13 games against teams that made NCAA Tournament appearances a year ago, including SEC powerhouse South Carolina, who won the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship in 2010 and 2011, and finished 2012 as the nation’s runner-up.
“This schedule will prepare our team for the very challenging America East Conference,” said Coach Mueller. “It is our hope and primary goal to challenge our team early and establish roles before we enter our conference slate.”
UAlbany will play its first 18 games on the road, kicking off the season February 15-17th in Cary, N.C. at Wright State’s USA Baseball Complex Classic. The Great Danes will play single games against Canisius, last year’s MAAC runner-up, Mid-American Conference’s Toledo, Wright State of the Horizon League, and 2012 CAA runner-up Delaware.
From there, UAlbany will meet the Gamecocks for the first time in program history in a three-game series at Carolina Stadium (Feb. 22-24).
Moving from one premier venue to another, the Great Danes will face UNC Greensboro, playing three games versus the Southern Conference’s Spartans (March 1-3).
A trip to Hofstra (March 6) for a single contest and then to NYIT (March 9-10) for a pair of doubleheaders will mark the Danes’ final exams before opening America East Conference play at Hartford on March 16th. The league-opening series against the Hawks will represent the first three clashes in a 30-game league schedule. The six America East schools will play a six-game series against each other in a pair of three-game home-and-home series.
The Great Danes open their 19-game home schedule at Varsity Field March 19th versus Marist. UAlbany will also go to the Red Foxes’ home diamond on April 9th. Sandwiched between two conference series at UMBC (March 23-24) and vs. Maine (March 30-31), UAlbany will travel to Ithaca, N.Y. for a doubleheader against the reigning Ivy League champions and 2012 NCAA Tournament competitors, Cornell, on March 26th. Also out of conference, the Danes will host the winningest baseball program in NCAA history in the Atlantic 10’s Fordham, on April 2nd, before welcoming Stony Brook, the reigning America East champions and 2012 World Series participants, to Varsity Field (April 6-7). UAlbany will also travel to face the Seawolves May 11-12th. Midweek through the month of April, UAlbany will make a trip to St. Johns on the 16th. The Red Storm won the Big East Tournament and regular season titles a year ago and made an NCAA Super Regional appearance. The following week, the Danes will go to Manhattan, the reigning MAAC champions, on the 24th, as well as host Central Connecticut State of the NEC on April 30th. UAlbany wraps its home-and-home series with Hofstra on May 9th, and closes the regular season at home versus league-foe Binghamton, May 17-18th. The top four teams in the conference will advance to the America East Championship, held May 22-25th at the home field of the highest seed. The conference postseason champion will receive an automatic berth into the NCAA regionals.

Usability Improvements
tmtm (2563)
Of course there's room for improvements. But it's a volunteer run project, and the amount of effort involved in just using PayPal is considerably less than having to take people's credit cards ourselves, or having to sign up to some other service to take credit cards. And by considerably, I mean several orders of magnitude. It's not like you have to use it. You can always pay on-site.
Re:Usability Improvements
jplindstrom (594)
I know, I know. It's not like I think IT SUCKS DAMNIT!! or anything because I'm quite aware of the trouble of processing credit cards. So it's quite understandable. But like I said, had it been a commercial company, they would probably not have been able to afford not processing credit cards. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5541 | {"url": "http://use.perl.org/use.perl.org/comments0c96.html?cid=34066", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "use.perl.org", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:09:56Z", "digest": "sha1:PANXX7SU64FGRTREVL4Z6WOD34I7IJCA"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 783, 783.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 783, 2102.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 783, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 783, 76.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 783, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 783, 215.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 783, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 783, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 783, 1.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 783, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 783, 0.45930233]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 783, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 783, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 783, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 783, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 783, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 783, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 783, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 783, 0.07085346]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 783, 0.03220612]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 783, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 783, 0.05813953]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 783, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 783, 0.18604651]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 783, 0.65909091]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 783, 4.70454545]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 783, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 783, 4.28945891]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 783, 132.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 23, 0.0], [23, 46, 0.0], [46, 58, 0.0], [58, 446, 1.0], [446, 472, 0.0], [472, 490, 0.0], [490, 783, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 23, 0.0], [23, 46, 0.0], [46, 58, 0.0], [58, 446, 0.0], [446, 472, 0.0], [472, 490, 0.0], [490, 783, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 23, 4.0], [23, 46, 2.0], [46, 58, 2.0], [58, 446, 68.0], [446, 472, 2.0], [472, 490, 2.0], [490, 783, 52.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 23, 0.0], [23, 46, 0.0], [46, 58, 0.44444444], [58, 446, 0.0], [446, 472, 0.0], [472, 490, 0.2], [490, 783, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 23, 0.0], [23, 46, 0.0], [46, 58, 0.0], [58, 446, 0.0], [446, 472, 0.0], [472, 490, 0.0], [490, 783, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 23, 0.26086957], [23, 46, 0.08695652], [46, 58, 0.0], [58, 446, 0.02061856], [446, 472, 0.11538462], [472, 490, 0.0], [490, 783, 0.07167235]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 783, 0.25664842]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 783, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 783, 0.00743359]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 783, -2.53700739]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 783, 10.34849172]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 783, -61.8397207]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 783, 10.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |
Fear branching vs Embrace branching
That's an interesting observation.
duff (16)
You've nailed something down that's been bugging me for a little while. I'm a definite subversion user but I've been increasingly getting the feeling that subversion doesn't quite fit my way of working. Thus I've been looking at git lately. The thing is though, that I have no fear of branching because there's a "recipe" for merging and I don't have to think too much about it other than to record revision numbers in the log. So I'm all for branching in subversion. Also though, I tend to not do any complica
Re:That's an interesting observation.

there's a "recipe" for merging and I don't have to think too much about it other than to record revision numbers in the log. You shouldn't have to think about it at all. Its a rote task. Book-keeping. Monkey work. The sort of things computers are very good at. Humans are very bad and prone to make mistakes.You might want to look at SVK or the Fisher Price version svnmerge [orcaware.com]. svnmerge does for you what you're currently doing by hand.Also though, I tend to not do any complicated merges because they are too much work (and large potential for me to screw up). You're well on your way to conquering your fear, this tells me you still fear branching. "Fear", in code terms, translates into "I don't want to do this because I might break something".
You shouldn't have to think about it at all. Its a rote task. Book-keeping. Monkey work. The sort of things computers are very good at. Humans are very bad and prone to make mistakes. Not quite. There will *always* be cases where a merge has to be manual. It's just not possible to 100% automate merging. SVN could do it better, but it'll never be Monkey Work. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5542 | {"url": "http://use.perl.org/use.perl.org/commentsbc7d.html?cid=56204", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "use.perl.org", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:03:46Z", "digest": "sha1:TP3WPZ3PY54HZJYCMS7V5RARP3IRAM3I"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1767, 1767.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1767, 3089.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1767, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1767, 81.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1767, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1767, 323.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1767, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1767, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1767, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1767, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1767, 0.46376812]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1767, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1767, 0.33430233]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1767, 0.36482558]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1767, 0.36482558]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1767, 0.36482558]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1767, 0.33430233]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1767, 0.33430233]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1767, 0.01744186]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1767, 0.03197674]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1767, 0.02325581]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1767, 0.03140097]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1767, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1767, 0.1884058]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1767, 0.49201278]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1767, 4.39616613]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1767, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1767, 4.78189731]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1767, 313.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 36, 0.0], [36, 71, 1.0], [71, 81, 0.0], [81, 592, 0.0], [592, 630, 1.0], [630, 645, 0.0], [645, 1407, 1.0], [1407, 1767, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 36, 0.0], [36, 71, 0.0], [71, 81, 0.0], [81, 592, 0.0], [592, 630, 0.0], [630, 645, 0.0], [645, 1407, 0.0], [1407, 1767, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 36, 5.0], [36, 71, 4.0], [71, 81, 2.0], [81, 592, 92.0], [592, 630, 4.0], [630, 645, 2.0], [645, 1407, 137.0], [1407, 1767, 67.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 36, 0.0], [36, 71, 0.0], [71, 81, 0.28571429], [81, 592, 0.0], [592, 630, 0.0], [630, 645, 0.33333333], [645, 1407, 0.0], [1407, 1767, 0.00877193]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 36, 0.0], [36, 71, 0.0], [71, 81, 0.0], [81, 592, 0.0], [592, 630, 0.0], [630, 645, 0.0], [645, 1407, 0.0], [1407, 1767, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 36, 0.05555556], [36, 71, 0.02857143], [71, 81, 0.0], [81, 592, 0.02348337], [592, 630, 0.05263158], [630, 645, 0.0], [645, 1407, 0.02493438], [1407, 1767, 0.03888889]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1767, 0.28298587]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1767, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1767, 0.28832227]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1767, -59.89994153]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1767, -9.54305348]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1767, -227.11761861]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1767, 30.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |

The one thing I'd note is that it's good to comply with standards, even if you aren't quite sure why.Because that way in the future when someone builds a massive automated testing system [ali.as], or some form of web auto-deploy upload things, or some other form of automated system that can work with "Any CPAN-compatible distribution", then Mojo will Just Work with it.Just because very few applications _actually_ got uploaded to CPAN doesn't mean it's necesarily a bad idea. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5544 | {"url": "http://use.perl.org/use.perl.org/commentsf2bd-2.html?cid=47607", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "use.perl.org", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:06:39Z", "digest": "sha1:VFB6BZPHEYRCBODEFAAYNUCYMXV7545V"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 540, 540.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 540, 1904.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 540, 3.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 540, 71.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 540, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 540, 307.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 540, 0.4214876]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 540, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 540, 0.02823529]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 540, 0.03305785]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 540, 0.33333333]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 540, 0.17355372]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 540, 0.7752809]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 540, 4.7752809]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 540, 0.00826446]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 540, 4.15947197]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 540, 89.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 46, 1.0], [46, 62, 1.0], [62, 540, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 46, 0.0], [46, 62, 0.0], [62, 540, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 46, 7.0], [46, 62, 3.0], [62, 540, 79.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 46, 0.0], [46, 62, 0.0], [62, 540, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 46, 0.0], [46, 62, 0.0], [62, 540, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 46, 0.02173913], [46, 62, 0.0625], [62, 540, 0.0334728]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 540, 0.03985626]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 540, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 540, 0.00087708]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 540, -12.56735877]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 540, -0.1224483]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 540, -53.59966646]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 540, 6.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |

Motives behind global warming skepticism
The debate about global warming divides people into two major crowds - those that believe there is no debate and those that insist it's all a gigantic hoax of some kind. The latter cry about how much money we will waste trying to combat this threat that they say doesn't exist. They say the scientific studies are backed by people with selfish motives - they want to increase taxes, they have connections to companies that could profit through the changes passed because of it, and on it goes. The other side offers similar accusations, saying the others are in the pockets of Big Oil�, etc.Here is what I do not understand about those who insist it's a conspiracy of some kind: Why? Even if there is no such thing as global warming, aren't the changes that would be made beneficial anyway? We need to wean ourselves off of oil and fossil fuels anyway. More restrictions and regulation on industry might hurt the economy for a short time, but these changes need to be made sometime.. why gamble on potential crisis?I don't know where their motives come from, as it seems to me from a moral standpoint it would be foolish to just 'wait and see'. Do these people simply hate government spending on anything by default? Do they just hate the hassle of having to change their own routine, even if it MAY benefit society otherwise? Is there some wider benefit to not taking precautions or putting in incentives to change that isn't related to their checking account? In the face of potential disaster, isn't it just the right thing to do?

If someone believes that global warming isn't occuring (is a hoax or just bad science, doesn't matter either way) or won't cause any major problems then to them it seems a waste to use our resources to prepare for something that to them isn't a problem. Yeah, maybe it has to do with their checking account, but if they don't see a tangible benefit to doing so then it's just going to seem wasteful to them. That's not to say they're correct - they could be dead wrong, but if they legitimately don't see a problem then don't expect them to want to spend money on fixing it.And of course there are some who probably do think that there's warming but care more about their money, but if money is their priority then don't expect anything different.

I am looking at the fringe opposition and what motivations they have. I see them as a minority getting extremely heated over an issue that, even if overblown, coincides with plenty of benefits. What then causes their hatred?

Although you're technically right Tik, the first group of people you describe, those who believe there is virtually no scientific debate on the subject, are the correct ones.Global warming is just as accepted by scientists as evolution, or the Holocaust by historians. (or the moon landing) Sure, there's a vocal but insignificant minority that attracts attention, but they're not treated as in any way credible by mainstream science.

Even if the majority wants something, many still would oppose having your tax dollars spent on it if they believe the majority was wrong. If they feel that they're paying for nothing then of course they're going to vehemently oppose it. Personally I'm like that - even if the majority wants something, if I oppose it I won't just sit quietly. You probably do it too on certain issues.Quote from: Harry on April 02, 2007, 08:41:15 pmAlthough you're technically right Tik, the first group of people you describe, those who believe there is virtually no scientific debate on the subject, are the correct ones.Global warming is just as accepted by scientists as evolution, or the Holocaust by historians. (or the moon landing) Sure, there's a vocal but insignificant minority that attracts attention, but they're not treated as in any way credible by mainstream science.Actually, there's plenty of scientific debate on the subject. Realistically though it's not so much anymore as to whether global warming is occuring, the debate is on how much of it there actually is, how much humans are contributing to it, how much of it is natural, and what the overall effects of the warming will be.
David S
The first question is whether the 1 degree increase in the earth�s temperature that occurred over the last century is natural or caused by man. That�s a question that most folks would rather leave to the eggheads in the scientific community. But more people start getting interested when you talk about what should be done. In Al Gore�s presentation, one of the slides asks; �Are you ready to change the way you live?� Al is not kidding on that point. The things he proposes really would change the way you live. His first proposal is for an immediate freeze on CO2 emissions. New cars, new houses, new industries and new people (i.e. babies) are all sources of CO2. Would that proposal mean that there could be no new cars or houses or businesses or people? That seems like a problem to me� a serious problem. Also the fact that it�s immediate would leave no time to build alternative sources of energy. In my estimation that proposal would send the economy into a tailspin. His second proposal is to reduce CO2 emissions by 90% by 2050. That would exacerbate the problem and make it virtually impossible to ever catch up. The point about reducing our dependence on fossil fuels is a valid issue but it�s not the same as reducing CO2 emissions. Let me give you an example: If the electric utility companies were confronted with an immediate freeze on CO2 emissions how would they meet that mandate while at the same time providing more electricity for a growing population? Well one way might be to shift their electricity generation away from coal fired plants and utilize gas fired plants more. Possibly they could convert some of their coal plants to gas. Natural gas produces less CO2 per KWH of electricity generated. The conversion should not be too difficult and they could get more power and less CO2. But coal is one energy resource we have in abundance. Is it wise to abandon it? Is it wise to use a valuable resource like gas to produce electricity when coal could be used instead? And we wouldn�t be reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. We�d just be shifting from one to another.The most well known proposal for dealing with Global warming is the Kyoto treatyPeople have evaluated the effectiveness of the Kyoto treaty in mitigating global warming. The following graph which comes from the Senate�s website shows the expected temperature rise with Kyoto and with business as usual i.e. doing nothing.http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Images.View&File_id=052e9760-802a-23ad-4150-a04af1ba1588&ImageGallery_id=04bf1b76-802a-23ad-438b-dec552db7c92 Click on "Wigley chart"It may be hard to read the text field but it says that the warming predicted to occur by 2050 would still occur by 2053 if Kyoto is implemented. I doubt that anyone really has a handle on how much Kyoto would cost but it ain�t gonna be cheap. So is it worth it?When you look at the potential effects of the proposals you come to the conclusion that we better be damned sure about CO2 induced warming before we start taking such drastic steps.

It is hilarious that conspiracy is claimed about the side which has nothing to gain from their position, and not the side whose economic interest lies in continuing the destructive processes. Logged

It's largely a knee-jerk reaction, from both sides. Some people simply like the idea of regulating the industry and some people don't. Very few people seriously allow facts to affect their opinions. Logged

Regarding that chart, can anyone tell me exactly what the global temperature IS. I always see charts for deviancy, but they never tell us what the mean temperature actually is.

However you are right that the media and whatnot does have a tendency to exaggerate it as they don't generally have a sufficient understanding of the scientific process and do have some ulterior motives.

My skepticism is more practical, really. And it boils down to this:If meterologists have trouble predicting weather one day in advance, how can we feel exactly confident that they'll be able to predict weather 10 or 100 years in advance?Also, in analyzing past weather, I have issues with relying on data sets for such a short period of time as 10 to 100 years. And the data sets that have been analyzed prior to 100 years ago present issues for both camps that I have seen neither conveniently explain.

Keep in mind that I'm well read on the subject, but not a climatologist.QuoteRegarding the graph which shows earth's temp and CO2 levels over the last 1/2 million years:1)What causes CO2 to rise so dramatically at the start of the interglacial warming periods? As I understand it, astronomers have reasonably clear links between changes in the earth's orbit and the interglacial warming periods. A lot of CO2 is locked up in the ice and when the glaciers recede the CO2 is released. The fresh water does not hold as much CO2 as the ice.Quote2)If CO2 causes warming and warming then causes more CO2 its a positive feedback loop. That should turn into a runaway greenhouse effect like on Venus. Also warming causes more water vapor which has an even bigger greenhouse effect than CO2 so it should exacerbate the runaway effect.So what causes CO2 to suddenly stop rising and then decline?If the release of CO2 was driven by release from ice then the ocean is available to reabsorb it. The ocean would have more water from glacial runoff, but the rate that the ocean can pick up the CO2 is much slower. A decline is reasonable as long as the temperature does not exceed a critical point where the runaway effect takes over.Quote3) Why does the CO2 curve lag the temperature curve?To the extent that the interglacial warming is due to excess solar heating, the CO2 changes followed the cause.Quote4) Given that Kyoto would do little to stem warming what would you propose as a means to mitigate it?I don't mean this to be argumentative, just imformative.I'm no fan of Kyoto. I think that it has a great many problems and I'm not surprised that the effect may be minimal in the near decades. I prefer a multifaceted approach that uses a number of incremental improvemnets and can vary by the economy that implements them. I would expect that the difference from a no change option would be small in the initial decades, but the difference would manifest itself more dramatically as time allows the small corrections to take hold.
Muon thanks for the response. With regard to CO2 absorption, as I understand it the solubility of CO2 in water decreases as the temperature goes up. So it seems to me that the oceans should be giving up CO2 as they warm not absorbing it. To my way of thinking it is equally plausible that solar activity causes the warming and the warming causes the release of CO2. When the solar event ends cooling starts and CO2 is gradually reabsorbed into the cooling oceans. That would explain what causes the warming, the rise in CO2, the cooling, the decrease in CO2 and the time lag. I think this is more or less the theory advanced in the Global Warming Swindle video.
there is no "time lag." The reason it looks like it on the chart is that temperature marks are measured at different points in time than CO2 marks.

Water vapor is the main green house gas in our atmosphere - during glacial periods a notable amount is removed from the atmosphere to form ice. Thus the CO2 concentrations become almost meaningless.Temperature increases do cause CO2 increases - rising temperatures thaw more permafrost and release the soil gasses into the air. This in no way means that CO2 doesn't cause higher temperatures. That's like suggesting that because fire is used to create buring coals that burning coals can not be hot.Rising temperature produce more CO2 at the same time rising CO2 level increase temperatures. That's why temperatures and CO2 have spiked together at an alarming rate.CO2 is a green house gas because of its molecular properties. Radation from the sun reaches the Earth at about a wavelength to 10nm, it reflects of the Earth at wave length of about 500nm. 10nm wavelength radiation can pass through CO2, 500nm wave length radiation can not.Concentrations of CO2 in our atmosphere have increased by over 75% since the industrial revolution. The planet is warming. Artic and glacial ice is melting at a rate that, if sustained, will likey cause disaster. The exact amount that the CO2 man is putting into the atmosphere is effecting that climate change is unknown. We do know that we are adding to the green house gasses in our atmosphere, we do know we are not helping to solve the problem, and we do know that if something doesn't change mother nature is going to change our society for us.It's great to argue that mans contrubution to global warming is small - that may even be true. But that does nothing to solve the problem of global warming. We still have to live on this planet and so do our children and grandchildren. The arguement that global warming isn't our fault (and the evidence suggests it is partially our fault) so let's do nothing amounts to giving up on future generations.You are very fast to jump on what ever the latest piece of junk science or misdirection that gets thrown out there (like this little piece about temperature causing CO2 rises so CO2 rises must not cause temperatures rises - even though nothing in the data suggests the 2nd of those two concepts - though GOP members of congress have been throwing it around like it is absolute proof of something). So what would you do David? Kick back and watch the ice melt? I don't mean to be disrespectful here - seriously (I admire a lot of what you post - but you are flat wrong on this, and holding on like a pit bull), what would you do?

Every revolution begins with the power of an idea and ends when clinging to power is the only idea left.
Nim first I appreciate your respectful response. Your last question really gets to the crux of the matter; what should be done? What other people believe in or don't believe in does not matter to me unless those beliefs mean they plan to make draconian changes to our way of life. Before I agree to that I want to be absolutely certain that the underlying assertions are correct. But for the moment lets skip the questions of whether man-made cO2 is causing the bulk of the warming and whether we are even able to prevent further warming. Let me just temporarily abandon my doubts about anthropogenic warming and discuss only things that might reduce CO2 or warming.First whatever we do must not send us back to the stone-age. The Global warming crowd always talks about the possible ill effects of using fossil fuels but not the ill effects of not using them. Our society is very heavily dependent on fossil fuels. In my opinion Al Gore's proposal to freeze CO2 emissions and then reduce them by 90% by the year 2050 would stop our economy dead in its tracks and then send it into a downward spiral. That idea I don't agree with.I also don't agree with Kyoto because its effects would be minimal and because it would be costly.The one idea Al Gore proposed which intrigues me is the idea of creating a CO2 tax to replace another existing tax. He proposed replacing the employment tax. I might suggest the income tax instead. The idea is that it would be revenue neutral. That would create a very large increase in the price of fossil fuels but on the positive side it would get rid of that miserable income tax. The CO2 tax would give everyone an incentive to reduce consumption of fossil fuels. Gasoline prices would rise by about $1.50 per gallon which would create an incentive to buy more fuel efficient cars or drive less. I estimate the cost of electricity generated by coal fired plants would double or triple. That would make wind and solar plants more competitive. And people would have an incentive to use less electricity. Natural gas prices would rise too but I don't know by how much. All that would require no government coercion and no goofy credit trading schemes and would be somewhat of a market oriented plan. Other people have proposed means of cooling the earth without changing cO2 levels, mainly by various plans to reflect more of the sun's light away from earth. The proponents of those plans say they could be done at much lower cost. And those plans could reduce the earth's temp even if CO2 is not causing warming. Those ideas could also be investigated and implemented if they are in fact economical solutions.
What can be done is the only question that really matters. To answer that fully a series of other questions need to be asked and answered - one of those being what is mans contribution to global warming.But as time tick away that's going to become less and less of an important question because natural increases in temperature are self reinforcing. The amount of CO2 and other green house gasses put into our atmosphere increase naturally as permafrost melts, this increases temperature and as such increases the amount of permafrost that is melting. Our permafrost is already melting at an alarming rate. Surface ice reflects solar radiation back at a low enough wavelength that it can re-emit into space through green house gasses. Solar radiation re-emitting off the balance of the planet increases its wavelength to the point that it can not pass through green house gasses. As surface ice melts, more and more radiation is trapped by green house gasses - which cause temperatures to rise and melts more surface ice. Our surface ice is already melting at an alarming rate, and the current sub glacial water flows indicate that it's going to get much worse in the relatively near future.As these and other natural causes of global warming spike - what mankind does or fails to do will become less and less meaningful. We are on the clock - the problem is that we don't know how much time is left on the clock, if any. Neither of us wants to see our society reduced back to the Stone Age - nobody does. Global warming itself has the potential to do that. The challenge is finding a cure that will not do the same - but there isn't going to be a cure that doesn't demand some sacrifice. It's also important to recognize that a cure may be beyond us - but I put a great deal of faith in our abilities as a species if we bend our will towards solving a problem.There is no doubt in my mind that we need to put together some kind of serious opening salvo to the problem - start showing a political will to do something. China announced this morning that they would participate in the next round of Kyoto talks. The US needs to start having a serious dialogue without the junk science being thrown in. The misrepresentations being made in our own Congress and Senate are beyond the pale. There are still Senators claiming - as our permafrost’s melts away - that there in no warming trend, there are Congressmen using junk science (like that bit about temperature rises causing CO2 rises to conclude that CO2 rises don't cause temperature rises) to defend against taking any action.The US needs to look at our fossil fuel consumption from a lot of different direction - global warming is just one of those directions. Certainly a 90% decrease in CO2 emissions by 2050 seems overly sharp if new technology isn't put in place to offset that. But there are a host of alternate ideas out there - from carbon scrubbing (which most likely can not be implemented in a time frame in which it would be useful) to alternate re-remittance of solar radiation.Not increasing the amount of CO2 we put into the atmosphere seems like the first step we need to take. That may buy us some time to figure out how to deal with other causes of global warming that nature is propagating with or without our help.

In fact during the Cretaceous period (91 million years ago give or take) the average surface temperature of the planet is speculated to be about ten degrees Celsius higher than it is now. It peaked at that and then gradually declined.Here's a rough graph of Earth's speculated climate history:To give an example of one mechanism that stops the reinforcement of heat buildup we need only look at the 'great conveyor built'.According to theory, as the salinity of the ocean decreases the power driving this thing will decrease. The result of that the currents will change - for instance the current going around Iceland would lower to the point that it's not longer going around Iceland. Enough salinity decrease might even shut it down entirely. Salinity decreases through the introduction of fresh water - since ice contains no salt, melted ice is freshwater! The end result of all this would be a cooling effect, perhaps even an ice age. (just to note, IIRC this what the disaster in 'The Day After Tommorow' is based on, but that movie is utter junk as the theory prescribes the change would be gradual, occuring over many decades)Long story short, warming can actually result in eventual cooling.QuoteAs these and other natural causes of global warming spike - what mankind does or fails to do will become less and less meaningful.

It's also important to recognize that a cure may be beyond us - but I put a great deal of faith in our abilities as a species if we bend our will towards solving a problem.Given Earth's climate history I don't think we'll be able to stop global warming. At most we can minimize our effects on the planet, but eventually the Earth's likely to heat up again. Part of the reason we're in a 'cool' period right now is due to the current position of the continents, which determines how the oceans are layed out. We aren't going to stop them from moving, though the hothouse level of warming experienced in eras past isn't likely to occur anytime soon.Also, given that climate change in general is gradual, I don't see it moving us back into the Stone Age. Life continued to flourish on Earth even during those warm periods, and given human intelligence I don't think adapting will be too much of a problem. On the grand scale of things we might have a few problems, but for it to be that dramatic seems just silly. Given that there are forces beyond our control in this situation I think the best preperations are simply to consider how we should best adapt to the change and less on how to prevent it. I've got no problem with decreasing out impact mind you, but there's a number of mitigating factors in doing that - ecomonics, politics, and all that crud.
Thanks for that temperature chart Dibblers.Here's one chart to complement that:
Quote from: SE Magistrate John Dibble on April 07, 2007, 09:12:44 amLong story short, warming can actually result in eventual cooling.That's part of the larger point. The cooling that follows the warming can be very destructive as well. That is, and has been, natures method of dealing with past warming cycles, and it is reasonable to conclude that it will happen again.The more immediate concern is sea level rise. What happens when a couple of billion Chinamen are looking for a new home - and the like. Current sub glacial water flows indicate that will become a problem for us long before temperature change in North America becomes any sort of issue.There are a host of concerns that will be felt before any sort of notable temperature change occurs in North America. We are seeing the expansion of arrid regions right now. We are seeing a pattern shift in ocean temperatures already. Disease carrying pests are not being wiped out in some regions by the winters that once did kill of significant portion of the population.The main concern about the additional CO2 man has placed in the atmosphere is that it may be rapidly accelerating the natural warming cycle - that it will not be as gradual process as has occured when nature is left to its own devises. Given that man has never pumped an additional 27 billion tons a year of CO2 into the atmosphere before, there is no historical model that can be referenced.The long term concern is what do we (as a civilization) have to go through to get to the other side of both the warming and the cooloing and can we do anything to reverse or mitigate the process. The answer to that is yes - but the cost seems to be beyond us at the moment.

Most of China is well above sea level. And there aren't a couple billion Chinamen in all of China let alone in low areas that might be affected by a 2' rise.

The UN projections are based on current melt rates. They do not account for the possible lose of a major ice sheet. If we lose the Greenland ice sheet or the Lawance ice shelf sea levels will increrase by over 21 feet, if we lose them both sea levels will increase by over 42 feet. I'm not saying we are going to - but the sub glacial water flows beneath both make it an mmediate concern. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5545 | {"url":

HomeDigitalNews All hail our new Apple overlords
You don't need to know exact iPhone or iPod sales to know Apple has a lot of money. Even the least economically focused person on earth knows the company is rich. But the comparisons are just staggering. Prior to the debt ceiling being raised, there was a lot of media attention surrounding the fact that the company had a higher cash balance than the U.S. government – with $76.2 billion in hand vs. the government's $73.8 billion. Now it's aiming higher.
CNBC reports that thanks to recent stock fluctuations, the tech company is now worth as much as Europe's 32 biggest banks – combined.
The financial institutions, which include Germany's Deutsche Bank and Italy's Unicredit, had a total market capitalization of $340 billion – the same as Apple's.
Of course, none of this is permanent (well, let's hope not!). And the ties to the entertainment world are pretty loose (though Apple certainly wouldn't be in this position if it hadn't made a major shift into the entertainment space 10 years ago). Still, it's a good illustrative point of how powerful the company has become in a short period of time.
And it sure makes you wish you'd invested in Apple in the late 1980s, when the stock hovered between $2 and $11 per share.

HomeFilmNews Q&A with Kenneth Lonergan
January 10, 2012 | 04:00AM PT
Difficult birth for 'Margaret'
Christy Grosz
Kenneth Lonergan’s “Margaret” was filmed several years ago, released quietly in 2011, but was championed for kudos by some critics and a Twitter campaign. Ongoing litigation keeps the writer-director from discussing the cut he worked on with Martin Scorsese, but he remains enthusiastic about the version that played. He spoke to Variety’s Christy Grosz from New York — with his lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, monitoring.
Grosz: Did you write the script intending to direct it?
Lonergan: In the theater, you don’t have to direct your own material to have creative control over it. But for film, if you want to write something, your best chance of having it turn out the way you want is to direct it. I had done a lot of backseat driving as a playwright, (but) I had never imagined directing for film before. I used to just write film scripts to make a living. (As a screenwriter), if you get lucky, you are very nicely treated and the script is respected, but most of the time the script is something disposable and you certainly don’t have any creative control with the powers that be. I wouldn’t have written either movie if I couldn’t direct it. It meant too much for me to sell them and give them up and see them turned into something else by somebody else for better or for worse.
CG: Rather than a character, the title of the film refers to Gerard Manley Hopkins’ poem “Spring and Fall.” What did you connect with in the poem?
KL: It’s a poem about a child who is crying because the leaves are falling off the trees. It’s very beautiful to have that much feeling for life, and it’s not the greatest when you become hardened to it. You get to be 30, and you’re like, “OK, I’m tired.” You go about your own business, and you worry about your own problems. I think teenagers suddenly wake up with a shock that that’s what they are bound for. That’s part of what the movie is about as well.
CG: How long did it take you to write the script?
KL: I had the whole idea for it about 10 years before I started working on it, but I had other things lined up that I wanted to do first. Once I started writing it, I think it was about two years and it was the most fun I have ever had writing anything. The first draft was 375 pages long and it read like a dream, and then it got cut down to 155 eventually. It was sort of an experiment. I just turned my mind off and once I knew what was going to happen I just didn’t worry about it. For a while, I considered doing it as a miniseries, but then I realized I really did want it to be a movie and that’s why I trimmed it down. I should have it bound in leather so I can show people and get a laugh.
CG: Were there any scenes that were particularly difficult to shoot from a production standpoint?
KL: There is a very gruesome bus accident that takes place on Sixth and Broadway or thereabout, and that was very difficult. That was four days in the cold with Anna Paquin and Allison Janney soaked in blood. It was so harrowing to watch them, and I think it sunk into everybody’s mind what was going on in the movie. But Anna, I have never seen anyone just give everything she had every single day. At the end of the fourth day, she is standing there wrapped in a blanket covered in blood and the sun is going down, and she said to me in a very small voice, “Do you think we can go home now?” That was it. That was her single request.
CG: I know you’re not on Twitter, but you’ve certainly heard a lot about the Team Margaret campaign that has sprung up. Why do you think the film has connected so strongly with critics?
KL: The fact that people I don’t know, that I have never met, are interested enough in the film to do all this for it is astonishing and wonderful. I know why I like (the film), but everybody has their own reasons for liking films or plays or books. Sometimes critics like things I like. Sometimes they like things I don’t like. (Deadpans) I would like to think it’s the quality of my performance as the father. It is a very solid supporting part. I feel that I look great in it. I worked really hard on my hair and my costume. I’m standing at a beach house with the wind blowing through my hair, and I don’t understand why nobody has really focused on me. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5547 | {"url": "http://variety.com/2012/film/news/q-a-with-kenneth-lonergan-1118048362/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "variety.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:53:59Z", "digest": "sha1:NDASQO4XPZQKNTLAS5YG4HAYRAILSSIA"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4327, 4327.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4327, 6705.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4327, 15.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4327, 135.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4327, 0.99]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4327, 206.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4327, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4327, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4327, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4327, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4327, 0.4964176]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4327, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4327, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4327, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4327, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4327, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4327, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4327, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4327, 0.00734646]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4327, 0.00822803]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4327, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4327, 0.05220061]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4327, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4327, 0.14431934]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4327, 0.42735043]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4327, 4.15506716]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4327, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4327, 5.24338108]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4327, 819.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 69, 0.0], [69, 100, 0.0], [100, 114, 0.0], [114, 531, 1.0], [531, 587, 1.0], [587, 1395, 1.0], [1395, 1542, 1.0], [1542, 2002, 1.0], [2002, 2052, 1.0], [2052, 2751, 1.0], [2751, 2849, 1.0], [2849, 3485, 1.0], [3485, 3671, 1.0], [3671, 4327, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 69, 0.0], [69, 100, 0.0], [100, 114, 0.0], [114, 531, 0.0], [531, 587, 0.0], [587, 1395, 0.0], [1395, 1542, 0.0], [1542, 2002, 0.0], [2002, 2052, 0.0], [2052, 2751, 0.0], [2751, 2849, 0.0], [2849, 3485, 0.0], [3485, 3671, 0.0], [3671, 4327, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 39, 5.0], [39, 69, 5.0], [69, 100, 4.0], [100, 114, 2.0], [114, 531, 64.0], [531, 587, 10.0], [587, 1395, 153.0], [1395, 1542, 27.0], [1542, 2002, 89.0], [2002, 2052, 11.0], [2052, 2751, 149.0], [2751, 2849, 15.0], [2849, 3485, 125.0], [3485, 3671, 34.0], [3671, 4327, 126.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 69, 0.4], [69, 100, 0.0], [100, 114, 0.0], [114, 531, 0.00982801], [531, 587, 0.0], [587, 1395, 0.0], [1395, 1542, 0.0], [1542, 2002, 0.00447427], [2002, 2052, 0.0], [2052, 2751, 0.01167883], [2751, 2849, 0.0], [2849, 3485, 0.0], [3485, 3671, 0.0], [3671, 4327, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 69, 0.0], [69, 100, 0.0], [100, 114, 0.0], [114, 531, 0.0], [531, 587, 0.0], [587, 1395, 0.0], [1395, 1542, 0.0], [1542, 2002, 0.0], [2002, 2052, 0.0], [2052, 2751, 0.0], [2751, 2849, 0.0], [2849, 3485, 0.0], [3485, 3671, 0.0], [3671, 4327, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 39, 0.17948718], [39, 69, 0.16666667], [69, 100, 0.06451613], [100, 114, 0.14285714], [114, 531, 0.03597122], [531, 587, 0.03571429], [587, 1395, 0.01237624], [1395, 1542, 0.06122449], [1542, 2002, 0.02391304], [2002, 2052, 0.06], [2052, 2751, 0.03147353], [2751, 2849, 0.03061224], [2849, 3485, 0.02987421], [3485, 3671, 0.03763441], [3671, 4327, 0.02896341]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4327, 0.69592923]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4327, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4327, 0.48782706]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4327, -110.6239825]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4327, 105.39129189]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4327, -544.83552858]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4327, 46.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |

Widener Library Latin American, Spanish, and Portuguese Collection
Harvard's Widener Library is the repository of many scarce and unique Latin American pamphlets published during the 19th and the early 20th centuries. One of the few institutions to have consistently collected Latin American pamphlets, Harvard has benefited from collections formed by Luis Montt (Chile), Nicolás Acosta (Bolivia), Manuel Segundo Sánchez (Venezuela), José Augusto Escoto (Cuba), Blas Garay (Paraguay), Charles Sumner, John B. Stetson and others. Chile, Cuba, Bolivia and Mexico are the countries most heavily represented in this collection. These pamphlets are valuable primary resources for students and researchers working on Latin American history. They document the emergence of the Latin American colonies as independent states, and illuminate many aspects of their populations' social and cultural life. Many pamphlets are devoted to boundary disputes, territorial expansion, the description of unexplored territories and the relationship between Church and State. This collection of more than 5,000 titles was largely uncataloged and virtually inaccessible to researchers until a cataloging and digitization project was initiated in 2002. The Latin American Pamphlet Digital Collection contains catalog records with links to page images of the digitized pamphlets. As additional pamphlets are cataloged and digitized they will be added to this Collection. For more complete bibliographic data, please see the HOLLIS catalog.

the frailty of human memory
I'm trying to figure out how to retell stories about a place that I only know a little about. The particular spot is a one time grocery store, now a bicycle shop, that I am guessing was a center of a neighborhood in its time. If there ever was a lore around it, it circulates among a group of people who I don't know. The owner of the store was notable in his day, but that day is about 60 years ago.My usual routine is to find an interesting idea, do searches in unexpected locations that get uncommon results, and assemble a story from clippings of things already written. This can be a fast way of going from scattered and fragmentary information about something to a composed account that makes sense. Clippings are easy to assemble, someone else has done the work, and you can sit down and be done when you're done.What's harder for me is to write about something that no one else has written down, especially something which you in turn have only limited knowledge of. The quotable information from print sources may be locked up in materials that are not scanned in, and perhaps never scanned in unless you scan them in yourself - that is, if you can find anything at all. The real stories of how things were might only be tellable if you can locate someone to tell them to you and if you write the stories down carefully for them.If you are interested in something and want to publish something about it to mark that interest, you might end up with only a fragment to start. There are some media where it's acceptable to tell a piece of a story that's an incomplete image, but only a very few. "That's not news" and "what's your point" are typical reactions when a newspaper behaves that way. The encyclopedia's defense mechanism says "that's not notable". "Too long, didn't read" is the reaction in the blog world. So you need some place to dump fragments that don't have to be complete that's safe so when it comes time to tell a story you can extend your memory.Nothing gets around the problem that the real stories can only be told by people. That's an opportunity and a challenge.

THOSE OF US AT THE BORDERS: RECOGNITION AND EVALUATION OF FACULTY WORK IN THE ACADMEIC FIELD OF FILM AND DIGITAL MEDIA
from Anthony Collins 3 years ago Not Yet Rated
Artistic, scholarly and professional works by individual faculty members in the field of film and digital media are not being adequately recognized or rewarded as scholarship activity during performance evaluation in institutions of higher learning. Conventional systems for the recognition and evaluation of work prioritize scientism and compel rigid compliance with norms; pitting individual faculty members and their creative works against an institutional model that precludes a priori the possibility that specific and unique aspects of work will be recognized or rewarded. This dissertation supports these claims, explores appropriate alternatives, and advocates for change; relying upon quantitative and qualitative methods of inquiry, including auto/ethnographic and personalized writing, in the search for greater understanding and effective solutions. This dissertation proffers theoretically grounded recommendations that facilitate the recognition and evaluation of faculty work, but it is not intended to be the final word on this topic. This research does not intend to advocate singular or ultimate ways for measuring artistic, scholarly or professional works, nor has a final solution been discovered through data research. Instead, by identifying and integrating a range of factors and issues of fundamental concern that have emerged in data, this dissertation can serve as a catalyst for institutional change. It challenges the exclusionary and meritocratic nature of systems in higher education that pre-determine internal mobility for faculty members. This study concludes that existing conventions for evaluating faculty scholarship are problematic and not well-suited to the intended purpose; that faculty scholarship in all fields should be recognized and evaluated on the basis of a unique and specific approach that characterizes a particular work---not just upon the artifacts considered in isolation from approach; and that the process of performance evaluation should be designed and conducted from start to finish by informed, sensitized and relevantly experienced colleagues who possess a deep understanding of the complex, distinct and diverse range of knowledge and skills that are inherent to a creative or alternative approach in research inquiry.

America the Beautiful (full version)
from Colorado College 1 year ago Not Yet Rated
The Colorado College community gathered on the quad on Tuesday, June 26, to sing “America the Beautiful” to honor the city of Colorado Springs. The song is linked to local and college history: The lyrics were penned by Katherine Lee Bates in the summer of 1893 after a visit to the summit of Pikes Peak while she was teaching English courses at CC. The college is participating in a city-wide initiative called Pikes Peak Sings, in which groups of citizens stand in front of different beloved local landmarks and sing the iconic song. When CC agreed to take part and planned a sing-along in front of Cutler Hall, participants had no idea that the city would soon be facing an enormous threat from the Waldo Canyon Fire. On Tuesday afternoon, the view to Pikes Peak to the west of campus was clear and bright for the filming, which took place just three hours before the devastating flare-up that claimed parts of the Mountain Shadows neighborhood and shrouded the mountains in smoke for days. A fun and simple demonstration of hometown pride took on new meaning, and the CC community is prouder than ever to be a part of this city of resilient and compassionate people. Pikes Peak Sings is an outreach effort of the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region, Leadership Pikes Peak, and the Colorado Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau. A compilation video will be unveiled by Mayor Steve Bach at a Spirit of the Springs rally on July 28, 2012. It will be used to advertise the region for tourism and business.

- Caron and Gilbert's Playlists
Caron and Gilbert's Playlists
Favored by Caron Butler. With the season opener just hours away, Reader Jay points out that Caron and Gilbert's Rhapsody playlists, with song-by-song explanations, are available for your pre-game listening pleasure. Caron mixes F**** the Police with "A Thousand Miles," which he calls "a catchy ass song," and which I don't think I've ever heard in an NBA arena. As for N.W.A:
It's classic. That was just a mindset that I was in at one point in my life. I just love the track and all them dudes really laid it down pretty heavy. They captured the mindset of being young and black at that time. I thought they just really nailed it.
Caron also makes mention of the coming Black President, but it's unclear if he's referring to Obama or Gilbert. Speaking of whom, Gilbert's playlist is disappointingly non-quirky, although he tries to make up for it with his explanation about Jay-Z's "30 Something."
He's like, 'What you doing now? Oh, I already done that. And I'm doing it better than you are at the age of 20.' It made me go and buy a Maybach six-deuce with curtains. I had to get one of them because he made it sound so nice. I saw [the Maybach coupe] in the video. [It's worth] $6 million. That's actually a custom car that's in the video. I think the dude is a race car driver who had the car built for him and rents it out for $500,000 a day.
So Gilbert, so often the voice of caution about the inevitable end of NBA fame for its stars, is purchasing his vehicles based on rap lyrics. Well played, Gil. By Dan Steinberg

Governor Cuomo Signs Legislation to Safeguard New York's Seagrass and Wildlife
By: Bob Sweeney
Owen Johnson
Date: July 31, 2012 Location: Albany, NY Governor Cuomo signed a bill today to protect New York's seagrass beds, an essential part of our underwater environment, and its surrounding wildlife."Seagrass beds in New York State are a vital habitat for many species of fish, and by endangering the seagrass, we risk losing some of our vibrant marine life," Governor Cuomo said. "This bill will stop many of the practices that have been causing our seagrass to die. We can no longer turn a blind eye to procedures that threaten our environment, and I thank Senator Johnson and Assemblyman Sweeney for their hard work to protect this fragile ecosystem." New York's seagrass beds used to be much larger. It is estimated that in 1930, there were 200,000 acres. Unfortunately, only 21,803 acres remain, and they provide a home to a variety of important fish and shellfish. In order to preserve and expand New York's seagrass, this bill will restrict activities that may threaten seagrass areas, such as mechanically powered fishing gear, and grant the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) the authority to develop and adopt a seagrass management plan to further protect at risk areas. This law takes effect in 150 days. DEC Commissioner Joe Martens said, "Seagrass beds stabilize shorelines, reduce turbulence, and provide spawning and nursery habitat for fish and invertebrate species. With this law, DEC will be able to better protect these sensitive seagrass areas and the marine life that depend upon it." Senator Owen H. Johnson, co-sponsor of the bill, said, "Governor Cuomo signing this legislation into law is great news for Long Island! Seagrasses are vital to the health of our bays, providing a habitat for many valuable species of fish and shellfish, as well as stabilizing the bay bottom sediments. New York's seagrass beds have shrunk from an estimated high of over 200,000 acres in 1930 to fewer than 22,000 acres today. The Seagrass Protection Act will go a long way toward preserving and protecting this valuable marine resource and I thank the Governor for signing the bill into law." Assemblyman Bob Sweeney, co-sponsor of the bill, said, "This new law is great news for Long Island. Seagrasses are vital to the health of our bays, and our local economy, by providing a nursery for many valuable species of fish and shellfish. There were approximately 200,000 acres of seagrass in 1930; today only 21,000 acres remain. Protecting seagrass benefits the economy by providing an important habitat for New York's major commercial and recreational fisheries. I want to thank Governor Cuomo for signing this important law"

Course Description and Learning Goals
DRAFT FROM PRIOR SEMESTER - SUBJECT TO CHANGE
The purpose of the course is to examine the specific issues involved in developing an international marketing strategy and in conducting marketing operations on an international as opposed to a “domestic” scale. Attention will be focused on problems such as identifying and evaluating opportunities in international markets, developing and adapting marketing tactics in relation to specific national market needs and constraints, and coordinating strategies in global markets. A strategic planning approach will be adopted.
The course is designed to give students an understanding of:
how to assess opportunities based on a consideration of both country macro and market related factors; how to evaluate and address local, regional and global competitors;
strategic options for entering multinational markets;
how to balance global and local considerations when developing the marketing mix;
how to develop an integrated strategic marketing plan for entering international markets.

Professional Responsibilities For This Course
Class Participation and Attendance: Attendance, including during projectpresentations, is mandatory. More than three absences will affect your grade. Before coming to class, you are expected to read the assigned readings, including the mini-cases, which we will discuss in class. The quality of your participation in class determines your grade. Attendance alone does not earn participation points.
You can supplement, not substitute, in-class participation by submitting relevant current articles. There are no points for quantity! Please submit them via email (a copy or a link) with two sentences on why the article is important or interesting.
At NYU Stern we seek to teach challenging courses that allow students to demonstrate their mastery of the subject matter. Assigning grades that reward excellence and reflect differences in performance is important to ensuring the integrity of our curriculum.
In general, students in this elective course can expect a grading distribution where about 50% of students will receive A’s for excellent work and the remainder will receive B’s for good or very good work. In the event that a student performs only adequately or below, he or she can expect to receive a C or lower.
Note that the actual distribution for this course and your own grade will depend upon how well each of you actually performs in this course.
Re-Grading
The process of assigning grades is intended to be one of unbiased evaluation. Students are encouraged to respect the integrity and authority of the professor’s grading system and are discouraged from pursuing arbitrary challenges to it.
If you believe an inadvertent error has been made in the grading of an individual assignment or in assessing an overall course grade, a request to have the grade re-evaluated may be submitted. You must submit such requests in writing to me within 7 days of receiving the grade, including a brief written statement of why you believe that an error in grading has been made.
Integrity is critical to the learning process and to all that we do here at NYU Stern. As members of our community, all students agree to abide by the NYU Stern Student Code of Conduct, which includes a commitment to:
Exercise integrity in all aspects of one's academic work including, but not limited to, the preparation and completion of exams, papers and all other course requirements by not engaging in any method or means that provides an unfair advantage.
Clearly acknowledge the work and efforts of others when submitting written work as one’s own. Ideas, data, direct quotations (which should be designated with quotation marks), paraphrasing, creative expression, or any other incorporation of the work of others should be fully referenced. Refrain from behaving in ways that knowingly support, assist, or in any way attempt to enable another person to engage in any violation of the Code of Conduct. Our support also includes reporting any observed violations of this Code of Conduct or other School and University policies that are deemed to adversely affect the NYU Stern community.
The entire Stern Student Code of Conduct applies to all students enrolled in Stern courses and can be found here:
Undergraduate College: http://www.stern.nyu.edu/uc/codeofconduct
Graduate Programs: http://w4.stern.nyu.edu/studentactivities/involved.cfm?doc_id=102505
To help ensure the integrity of our learning community, prose assignments you submit to Blackboard will be submitted to Turnitin. Turnitin will compare your submission to a database of prior submissions to Turnitin, current and archived Web pages, periodicals, journals, and publications. Additionally, your document will become part of the Turnitin database.
If you have a qualified disability and will require academic accommodation of any kind during this course, you must notify me at the beginning of the course and provide a letter from the Moses Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD, 998-4980, www.nyu.edu/csd) verifying your registration and outlining the accommodations they recommend. If you will need to take an exam at the CSD, you must submit a completed Exam Accommodations Form to them at least one week prior to the scheduled exam time to be guaranteed accommodation.
Please refer to official course syllabus, to be distributed in class.
Guidelines for Group Projects
Business activities involve group effort. Consequently, learning how to work effectively in a group is a critical part of your business education.
Every member is expected to carry an equal share of the group’s workload. As such, it is in your interest to be involved in all aspects of the project. Even if you divide the work rather than work on each piece together, you are still responsible for each part. The group project will be graded as a whole: its different components will not be graded separately. Your exams may contain questions that are based on aspects of your group projects.
It is recommended that each group establish ground rules early in the process to facilitate your joint work including a problem-solving process for handling conflicts. In the infrequent case where you believe that a group member is not carrying out his or her fair share of work, you are urged not to permit problems to develop to a point where they become serious. If you cannot resolve conflicts internally after your best efforts, they should be brought to my attention and I will work with you to find a resolution.
You will be asked to complete a peer evaluation form to evaluate the contribution of each of your group members (including your own contribution) at the conclusion of each project. If there is consensus that a group member did not contribute a fair share of work to the project, I will consider this feedback during grading.

Appendix I - International Marketing Entry Project
This project is intended to give you “hands on” experience in developing an international market entry strategy for a product of your choice. It is divided into two parts:
Assess Markets and Select a Country to Enter – This involves establishing criteria and evaluating countries worldwide based on secondary data.
Develop a Market Entry Strategy and Marketing Plan- This includes target market selection, product positioning, channels of distribution and communication and promotion strategy. First, you will needto select a product. You can select virtually any product. Here are a few guidelines and suggestions: Do not select a commodity such as sugar where purchase will depend primarily on price.
Pick a consumer product, as it is typically easier to find information than for B2B products. Also, it is easier to see the impact of Country factors and culture on consumer goods. If you pick a service (e.g. coffee bars or nail salons), you will need to calculate operational costs etc. in the marketing plan.
The basic product you select can, and probably should, currently exist in the US or another country. It is likely that you would need to adopt the existing product to meet the needs of another market. For example, flavored water might need to be packaged in a different size with different flavors. If you pick a product which is already widely available (e.g. skis, exercise equipment, T-shirts, running shoes, ice-cream, jewelry), you will need to consider your competitive advantage. Why would someone want to buy your product? Look for ways to differentiate your product. For example, ice cream made with soy milk.
Products used in recent years: dual flush toilets, vitamin water, rice pudding, lingerie, men’s toiletries, high-end chocolates, artificial diamonds, anti-aging skin cream, bicycles, bubble tea
Services used: ‘build-a-bear’ concept, manicure shops, on-line food delivery
Please email your product selection by March 2, 2011. Provide a brief description of the product (a few sentences). Part I: Assess Markets and Choose a Country to Enter
There are hundreds of potential quantitative and qualitative factors to consider when choosing a market to enter. We will use a funnel approach, screening countries in four stages.
# of Countries
to Screen
for Next Stage
Stage 1 - Select 3-5 broad economic and demographic indicators. I suggest you have a minimum population size and minimum GNI per capita. The other criteria will depend on your product. The most reliable data to use are the World Bank data, though you may find the CIA data easier to handle electronically. The minimum cut-off points you use to eliminate countries are purely arbitrary, and depend on whether you want to go into a developed or developing country, e.g. whether you are selling low-cost bicycles, or expensive jewelry.
Stage 2 - Identify 5-8 indicators to screen the macro-environment. Possible indicators are: political risk, corruption, financial risk, rate of inflation, urbanization, ease of doing business, cultural considerations, trade restrictions, industry regulations, etc. Give careful consideration to which indicators are important for your product. Establish some criteria for cut-off points (I.e. inflation less than 10%, at least average protection of IP rights) and eliminate those countries. Evaluate the remaining countries and choose the 3 to 5 most attractive countries. Depending on your scoring on individual indicators, you may want to use an Analytical Hierarchy Approach to help make your decision. Stage 3 - This is the most important stage. The objective is to assess the product market. Chose 10-12 indicators to analyze the market such as: total size of the market in units, total $ sales, rate of growth in volume and dollars, per capita unit and $ volume. Include a basic indicator, or two, of competitiveness. You may also want similar data for complementary or competing products. For example, if you are focusing on sales of vitamin water, you may want to look at data on soft drink sales, bottled water sales, vitamin sales, and carbonated drinks sales, bottled tea sales etc. You may also want to look at indicators of the target segment, by age, income, etc.
I suggest you rely on the Euromonitor Global Marketing Information Data base in the Virtual Business Library, supplemented by whatever other data bases you know of relevant to your specific product.
At this stage, you do not want to use minimum cut-off points; instead look at the ranking of the countries across all of your criteria, and work out potential trade- offs, e.g. between market size and growth. If the choice is not clear, consider determining some hierarchy of requirements such as: growth potential is more important than current market size or below average per capita consumption is of greatest concern. Stage 4 - Now, you need to consider some qualitative factors. The most important factors are the presence and strength of competition, the development of the marketing infrastructure, including the ability to advertise and promote and the ease of entry into existing distribution channels. The main issue is the ease of establishing operations and competing in a country.
If several countries are equally attractive, consider which country might provide a better jumping off point for further expansion. For example, Japan might be an attractive market, but where do you go next? South Korea? Australia, on the other hand, while relatively isolated, might be a good base for expanding in S.E Asia.
Write a report explaining your country selection based on your work at each of the four stages. Explain, at the start of your paper, the important factors for marketing the product successfully and any specific constraints which impede the marketing effort. State who you believe will be your target, although that may be modified later. These factors are the basis for the screening work at each stage.
The report should not exceed 7 pages, single spaced, and may be very well presented in 3 or 4 pages. Use Exhibits as much as possible.
Report is due by 11:00 am March 3, 2011 via Turnitin. Part II: Develop an Entry Strategy and Marketing Plan

GUIDELINES FOR CASE WRITE-UP: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
The write-up of the case should be written in management summary form and should not exceed 4 pages double-spaced. You should use bullet heads where helpful.
First, define clearly and concisely the basic decision problem. This should focus on the action to be taken, e.g. how to enter international markets, developing a long-run strategy for international growth, rather identifying symptoms such as declining sales, increased competition. The problem statement should be summarized in 3-5 sentences.
Next, identify a number of alternative courses of action to deal with the problem identified in #1, i.e. alternative entry modes might include direct exporting, joint ventures, franchising, etc. For each alternative, list the pros and cons using bullet heads. This should be the major part of your write-up. Materials such as tables, quantitative analysis, may be placed in appendices, not in the text. Do not repeat tables and material contained in the case.
Write a brief recommendation, selecting one of your suggested alternatives. Give a rationale for your choice. This should be approximately 6-7 sentences (this is a target and you may require a few more sentences).
Cases should be submitted to Turnitin before the class session in which they are discussed. Late cases are not accepted

It usually involves a rapid heart rate that is not regular.
Alternative NamesAuricular fibrillation; A-fib
Causes, incidence, and risk factorsArrhythmias are caused by problems with the heart's normal electrical conduction system.
Normally, the four chambers of the heart (two atria and two ventricles) contract (squeeze) in an orderly way. When this happens, your heart is able to pump the blood your body needs without working any harder than it needs to. The electrial impulse that signals your heart to contract begins in the sinoatrial node (also called the sinus node or SA node). This node is your heart's natural pacemaker.
The signal leaves the SA node and travels through the two upper chambers (atria).
Then the signal passes through another node (the AV node), and finally, through the lower chambers (ventricles).In atrial fibrillation, the electrical impulse of the heart is not regular. The atria are contracting very quickly and not in a regular pattern. This makes the ventricles beat abnormally, leading to an irregular (and usually fast) pulse. As a result, the heart may be working harder and may no longer be able to pump enough blood.
In atrial flutter, the ventricles may beat very fast, but in a regular pattern.
If the atrial fibrillation/flutter is part of a condition called sick sinus syndrome, the sinus node may not work properly. The heart rate may alternate between slow and fast. As a result, there may not be enough blood to meet the needs of the body.
Atrial fibrillation can affect both men and women. It becomes more common with increasing age.
Causes of atrial fibrillation include:
Alcohol use (especially binge drinking)
Coronary artery disease (especially after a heart attack or coronary artery bypass surgery)
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism)
Valvular heart disease (especially mitral stenosis and mitral regurgitation)SymptomsYou may not be aware that your heart is not beating in a normal pattern, especially if it has been occurring for some time.
Pulse that feels rapid, racing, pounding, fluttering, or too slow
Pulse that feels regular or irregular
Sensation of feeling the heart beat (palpitations)
Dizziness, light-headedness
FatigueNote: Symptoms may begin or stop suddenly. This is because atrial fibrillation may stop or start on its own.
Signs and testsThe health care provider may hear a fast heartbeat while listening to the heart with a stethoscope. The pulse may feel rapid, irregular, or both. The normal heart rate is 60 - 100, but in atrial fibrillation/flutter the heart rate may be 100 - 175. Blood pressure may be normal or low.
An ECG shows atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. Continuous ambulatory cardiac monitoring -- Holter monitor (24 hour test) -- may be necessary because the condition often occurs at some times but not others (sporadic).
Tests to find underlying heart diseases may include:
Exercise treadmill ECG
Nuclear imaging testsTreatmentIn certain cases, atrial fibrillation may need emergency treatment to get the heart back into normal rhythm. This treatment may involve electrical cardioversion or intravenous (IV) drugs such as dofetilide, amiodarone, or ibutilide. Drugs are typically needed to keep the pulse from being too fast.
Daily medications taken by mouth are used in two different ways:
To slow the irregular heartbeat. These medications may include beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and digitalis.
To keep atrial fibrillation from coming back. These medications may work well in many people, but they can have serious side effects. Many patients may go back to atrial fibrillation even while taking these medications.Blood thinners, such as heparin and warfarin (Coumadin) reduce the risk of a blood clot traveling in the body (such as a stroke). Because these drugs increase the chance of bleeding, not everyone will use them. Antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin or clopidogrel may also be prescribed. Your doctor will consider your age and other medical problems to decide which drug is best.
A procedure called radiofrequency ablation can be used to destroy areas in your heart that may be causing your heart rhythm problems. Cardiac ablation procedures are done in a hospital laboratory by specially trained staff. Reasons why ablation may be done include:
When medicines are not controlling the symptoms, or are causing side effects
When the condition will become dangerous if not treated
As a possible cure for some patients with atrial flutterSome patients may need the radiofrequency ablation done directly on an area of the heart called the AV junction. Ablation of the AV junction leads to complete heart block. This condition needs to be treated with a permanent pacemaker.
Expectations (prognosis)The disorder is usually controllable with treatment. Many people with atrial fibrillation do very well.
Atrial fibrillation tends to become a chronic condition, however. It may come back even wtih treatment.
ComplicationsFainting (syncope), if atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter cause the pulse to be too quick or slow
Stroke, if clots break off and travel to the brain (drugs that thin the blood such as heparin and warfarin can reduce the risk)Calling your health care providerCall your health care provider if you have symptoms of atrial fibrillation or flutter.
PreventionFollow the health care provider's recommendations for treating underlying disorders. Avoid binge drinking.

about your rapid climbs on the roster of one of the top squads in the NFL.
has been Michael Wilhoite’s journey with the San Francisco 49ers, who play the
Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in the Super Bowl.
talk about the concept of a meritocracy on a football team and that’s your
shining star, that’s your shining light, one of them, Michael Wilhoite,” San
Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh said last week during a news conference. “Players
knew that, evidenced by the way he plays and produces in practice and in games.
That was a popular announcement, announcing Michael Wilhoite as the special
teams captain.”
Wilhoite’s
ascent is similar to that of fellow former Ichabod Cary Williams, a starting
cornerback for the Ravens who worked his way up from the practice squad.
Wilhoite joined San Francisco’s practice squad in December 2011 but wasn’t
activated to the 53-man roster until November 2012.
“It was a great feeling,” Wilhoite said during
an interview with Comcast Sportsnet. “It’s an honor to get on the field with
these guys and have fun and help the team any way I can.”
playing five regular season games and one divisional playoff game, Wilhoite
garnered enough respect to be named a captain on special teams before the 49ers’
Jan. 20 win against the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship game.
"Everybody sees it (Wilhoite’s work ethic),
everybody appreciates it,” Harbaugh said. “It elevates a player on a team in
the eyes of everyone on that team."

Washburn's mascot, the Ichabod, honors the school's early benefactor, Ichabod Washburn, a 19th century Massachusetts industrialist. The original design of the studious-looking, tuxedo-clad figure was created in 1938 by Bradbury Thompson (ba '34), who became an internationally acclaimed graphic artist. Design wasn't Thompson's only consideration. To the stylized Ichabod the artist attributed the qualities of "...courage and enthusiasm, as shown by his brisk walk. He is democratic and courteous, for he tips his hat as he passes. Sincere in his search for truth and knowledge, he studiously carries a book under his arm..."

Faith Leaders to Make Urgent Call
Denise Rolark Barnes - WI Staff Writer | 12/2/2010, 8:27 a.m.
Faith leaders from around the country held an emergency summit in the District to organize a strategy to urge congressional lawmakers to pass a bill immediately that will strengthen and further protect homeowners from predatory lending practices. The new bill in Congress - the American Community Investment Reform Act (HR-6344) - will extend the current laws to those lending institutions that helped to create the current housing crisis that contributed to thousands of homeowners facing foreclosure. "This is the most critical civil rights issue of our time," the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson told a group of 50 ministers, faith leaders and representatives from nonprofits who gathered at Shiloh Baptist Church in Northwest on Mon., Nov. 22 to address the matter. Jackson was on hand to help galvanize a movement to help pass the bill that will expand the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Since 1977, CRA has encouraged more banks and savings and loans to establish branches in underserved communities and it has helped to reduce credit practices that discriminate against low and moderate-income neighborhoods. The law, however, did not include independent housing lenders, such as Countrywide, whose predatory practices targeted African Americans and Latinos. Jackson's Rainbow Push Coalition has partnered with the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) to push for passage of the new bill that will not only strengthen CRA, but it will also create jobs and capital in areas where the economic crisis has hit the hardest. "CRA needs to be expanded right now," said John Taylor, NCRC president and CEO. If the bill does not pass, Taylor said, it will be harder to for small businesses to get lenders to invest and "it will be more difficult for low income and people of color to experience any type of recovery" from the current economic crisis, he said. "We need safe, sound and fair lending," Taylor said. Several ministers scattered throughout Shiloh's Family Life Center sat at round tables where they shared stories about members of their congregations who are facing foreclosure. Some of them also raised their hands when Rev. Jackson asked how many of them were also aware of churches facing foreclosure. "Churches are like Black people," said Rev. Anthony Evans, president of the National Black Church Initiative. "They are embarrassed about the issue and they don't want to tell people what's going on." NCBI has organized several programs to assist local homeowners facing foreclosure. "Community organizations and faith groups need to get together to address this bill in Congress that has not moved," Taylor said. Taylor and Jackson criticized the Obama Administration for providing bailouts to the banks and auto industry that have done little to reinvest in Detroit and other cities that were devastated with foreclosures and high unemployment. They also raised the crisis among the nation's youths who are drowning in debt due to exorbitant student loans. "The bailouts given to the banks and automobile industry have done little to help individuals who still blame themselves for their economic failures," Jackson said. He drew a line from a time when housing laws prevented Blacks from owning homes based on race to when they could only own homes in certain areas proscribed by laws called redlining, to "present day schemes that lack congressional oversight" that have resulted in massive foreclosures. "Steering blacks to sub-prime loans is reverse redlining - paying more for less that will make you more likely to lose our homes," Jackson said. The faith leaders are planning a letter writing campaign and visits to House and Senate leaders to urge them to pass bill HR 6334 before the legislative session ends next month. Share This Story

Fruitful seasons
Excavations at Karnak Temple complex have been focusing on areas hitherto little explored, with rewarding results. Nevine El-Aref takes a look
Priests of the first millennium BC resided in the area beyond the fourth pylon of the Pharaoh Tuthmosis III. It is here and at the temenos (outer temple) wall built by the same Pharaoh, the Osirian zone, and the courtyard between the eighth and ninth pylons that the Franco-Egyptian Centre at Karnak, Centre Franco-Egyptien D'Étude des Temple de Karnak (CFEETK), has been concentrating its efforts this year.
In this temple complex of Amun-Re, a monument that has no equal and was an important centre of worship, successive dynasties of Pharaohs erected an obelisk, built a temple, placed a chapel or even constructed a wall within its holy precincts. For decades now the centre has been carrying out excavations, and has actively engaged in studies on the progressive deterioration of the monuments, carrying out reconstruction. Slowly and surely gaps in our knowledge are being filled.
In the early years of the mission's work, the underground water level was reduced -- curbing this chronic problem to some extent; thousands of talatat from the Sun Temples of Akhenaten were excavated from the ninth pylon; and miscellaneous objects found all over the vast site were stored in what is now the Outdoor Museum where their restoration continues (see neighbouring story). More recently, attention has been given to four main sites.
PRIESTLY QUARTERS: The area south-east the Sacred Lake has proved particularly rich in finds. A residential area, unearthed in the early 1970s by Jean Lauferay, was identified as belonging to priests who served in the temple. Archaeological evidence indicates that its location was chosen with care; it was occupied and expanded for almost half a millennium.
At the upper level of occupation, in the empty space between the back yard of house number six and its enclosure wall, excavators came upon a number of ceramic shards which made it possible to date the foundation of the house to the late Roman period. Brushing away accumulated sand from the back yard of the house, an ash-strewn floor was unearthed as well as a large number of hippopotamus statues, a "New Year" pilgrim flask, alabaster vases, amulets, storage jars, semi-precious stones, weights, and several pottery fragments dating from the end of the earlier Saite period.
"The jars suggest that the area behind the house may have been used for storage or to serve as a kitchen," Catherine Defernez, a member of the team, suggested.
Further research revealed that the whole area was abandoned, and that from the end of the Third Intermediate Period to the beginning of the 26th Dynasty (715 to 664 BC) it slowly became covered with refuse containing miscellaneous ceramics. When exactly the priestly quarters were deserted is not clear; only further excavation and study will show.
PIT PROVIDES EVIDENCE: Beyond Tuthmosis III's enclosure wall and the Holy of the Holies of the Temple of Amun-Re, the excavation team dug a trial pit that revealed different levels of occupation prior to the construction of Tuthmosis's wall. Four of these levels are significant: the first dates from the end of the 27th and the beginning of the 28th Dynasties (during the Persian conquest in the sixth century BC); the second is a 13th-Dynasty level (about 1786 BC, the time of the ascendancy of the Hyksos and their occupation of Egypt); the third shows a 12th-Dynasty layer of occupation -- a period of great building activity which saw an artistic and literary revival -- and the last dates from the 11th Dynasty, at the time when, after centuries of disorder following the fall of the great pyramid age, the Theban princes Intef and Mentuhotep reunited the country in the period which became known as the Middle Kingdom.
At the upper level, most of the remains are mud brick silos and domestic architecture. "It seems that the area was used as a bakery," said Sabri Abdel-Aziz, head of the Egyptian Antiquities Department of the SCA. "Bread moulds were found north of the silos while millstones and grinders were unearthed to its east."
At its deepest level, a mud brick wall was found.
CFEETK head François Larché said this type of architecture demonstrated domestic occupation of the area east of Tuthmosis III's wall. "In other words, it shows life around the temple before the New Kingdom construction, when the temple of Amun was smaller," he added.
TUTHMOSIS III'S TEMENOS WALL: While current research reveals different stages of construction and modification of this wall, it is not possible at this stage to identify which Pharaoh planned the first stage of its construction. "The most important fact," Larché said, "is that while the foundation trench cut through the first level dates from the end of the 27th and the beginning of the 28th Dynasties, the ceramics in the foundation trench belong to the time from the end of the 27th to the middle of 28th Dynasties. This suggests the possibility that there was a plan to complete the enclosure wall with new sections, and take action to restore its more ancient part."
THE OSIRIAN: In the vast sandy area north-east of the main temple of Amun-Re, near the Saite chapel of Osiris Ounnefer Neb-Djefa, Lauren Coulon and his team dug three pits: the northern one along the road to the temple of Ptah, the next to the north of the naos of the Saite chapel, and the third in the courtyard behind the chapel.
Work started with the removal of a number of scattered blocks, which revealed a late Roman structure set in the angle formed by the road to Ptah temple and the embankment edging the northern access to the chapel. "It looks like a pile of blocks of different sizes set in steps," Defernez said. "These blocks support a piping device that brought water, probably to a well constructed of baked brick which is visible few metres to the north." The entire area edging the road to the temple of Ptah was originally laid out, but has been badly disturbed by clearage, ancient and modern. "An effort is being made to sort things out," Defernez said.
The next step of the mission was to inspect the area north of the naos, which George Legrain had transformed into a storage area containing many blocks and column drums when he was clearing the main temple of Amun-Re more than 70 years ago. After removing these and placing them on a brick platform built around what he called "the Ethiopian chapel", he discovered elements of a sandstone pavement, following the example of that already cleared to the south.
In the courtyard to the rear of the chapel the team unearthed an unsealed building. The upper surface of its walls shows numerous construction features: bonding using wooden boards to reinforce the mud brick; and an occupation level atop the ruins that appeared directly under the level of the modern flooring. Study of the pottery alongside it suggests it is a 30th-Dynasty structure or, perhaps more precisely, was occupied in the Persian period.
BETWEEN PYLONS EIGHT AND NINE: While excavating the courtyard between these two pylons in the south-west, a mission affiliated by the centre and led by American archaeologist Charles Van Siclen discovered several mud brick structures. These were cleared in an effort to determine their date and whether these buildings were temples, chapels or pylons. This year, the aim of the mission was to clean them and trace each level of occupation. The uppermost level proved to be a hard surface of brick, tile, plaster and dirt, which probably served as the floor of an open-air granary. At its northern limit a granite block framed in sandstone was found. "This is probably the base of a circular mill or grindstone," Siclen suggested, adding that the date was uncertain but it may be early Christian. "It is perhaps contemporary with the buildings once built against the south face of the eighth pylon," he added.
The second level is marked by a series of remains which can be dated by coins and pottery to the middle and late fourth century AD. A number of regularly spaced, brick-edged tree pits dating from the end of the reign of Ptolemy I were found, while remains of a domestic building with associated well, drains, storage pits, granary and trash pits were also located. To the west of the tree pits, a vaulted baked-brick structure was unearthed. "Architecturally it seems to be a small tomb," Siclen said. "It includes animal bones, remains of a large number of amphorae and broken pottery which could be parts of a funerary banquet." This court between the two pylons underwent clearance and renovation. The stone road was repaired; stone- robbers' holes and the remains of furnaces cut into the court were filled in, and the surface was paved with a hard mixture of limestone chips and broken pot shards. Running parallel to the road is a series of alternating holes for tree trunks and roots. "There must have been about 12 trees and 11 bushes in all placed along the west side of the road," Siclen said.
Within the ninth pylon a very large Late Period furnace for melting bronze, originally built at the pavilion of Senostris I, was found. To its north and west, the mission examined what first seemed to be two irregularly placed tree pits. "But on further examination, they would seem to be two holes into which molten bronze could be poured into forms for statues and other objects by means of the lost wax method of casting," Siclen suggested.
Unravelling the secrets of Karnak is a major feat of Egyptology, since some parts of buildings were raised from dismantled shrines or the walls of other temples, while well-established settlements were expanded and rebuilt upon the ruins of earlier structures. The task of revealing the vacillations of this huge religious complex is, however, being systematically and professionally tackled, and the results are rewarding.
On show in the open air
The Franco-Egyptian mission has been working for many seasons at Karnak. The restoration of miscellaneous monuments in the area to the north of the Great Court at Karnak -- many of them extracted from the foundations of Amenhotep III's monumental Third Pylon -- has indeed been in progress for the last 38 years. Much has already been achieved since the Centre Franco-Egyptien D'Étude des Temple de Karnak (CFEETK) took the initiative in 1967 to transform the area into an outdoor museum.
One of the most important projects was to reconstruct the blocks of Hatshepsut's red quartz chapel, hitherto secured on concrete slabs. "Reconstructing this monument was like matching the pieces of a vast jig- saw puzzle and putting them together, and it has taken two years," said Zahi Hawass, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA). "Missing blocks have been replaced by stone of the appropriate size and shape, so that, in the words of François Larché, director of CFEETK, 'Should we find the original, it can easily be inserted in the structure by slotting it into position.'"
Restoration of the alabaster chapel of Tuthmosis IV and his portico courtyard has been an equally exacting task, and one of the most challenging of the ongoing projects. Throughout last year, 30 pillars of the portico were assembled and placed in front of the walls that had been reconstructed in previous seasons. The French mission's restoration report describes broken architraves that had to be glued and strengthened with metallic bars, and many fragments were successfully inserted into their original positions. Missing hubs were replaced with new ones carved from sandstone blocks so that they would be able to support the architraves and pillars.
Still being given concentrated attention is the chapel of Amenhotep II, a huge structure in which heavy blocks weighting more than 50 tons were used.
Way back in 1898 when an earthquake toppled the Third Pylon blocks of stone from many earlier structures were exposed, but attention was only given them in the 1930s when French archaeologists George Legrain and Henri Chevrier set about extracting more than 315 blocks of the chapels of Hatshepsut and her father, Tuthmosis I.
Later, in the early 1950s, Chevrier collected the blocks of Amenhotep II's chapel, retrieved from all over the temple (two of the largest were found in Mut's temple, south of the main temple) and put them in the same area, to the west of the Great Court which had by now become a vast storehouse of exquisitely inscribed blocks of stone.
In the 1960s, when soil drainage was being checked at Karnak to prevent the crumbling of columns from undermining by groundwater, the same Third Pylon was found to contain, in its lower core, more blocks of temples and shrines from earlier periods. Such important Pharaohs as Sesostris I, Amenhotep II, Hatshepsut and Tuthmosis IV had built chapels at Karnak, which were later dismantled and reused in the foundation of the pylon.
Among them were blocks of the magnificent limestone pavilion of Sesostris I, known as the White Chapel. "This Middle Kingdom structure was erected for the Sed or Jubilee festival of the Pharaoh and the blocks, rescued from obscurity, were reerected just north of the Great Court," said Sabri Abdel-Aziz, head of the ancient Egyptian antiquities department. "The pavilion was built to accommodate the barge of god Amun-Re, the great god of Karnak, during the annual celebration that took place at the height of the flood when his sacred image was carried in procession from Karnak to Luxor Temples."
Immediately to its north, an alabaster shrine that can be traced to the reigns of Amenhotep I and Tuthmosis I, also found in the foundations of the Third Pylon, was reconstructed: a small, simple structure of beautiful proportions. "These two monuments, extracted in pristine condition, quickly became attractions, but they were subsequently spoiled by pollution, and their walls have now been cleaned to reveal the fine reliefs once more," Sabri said.
The Franco-Egyptian mission at Karnak began its ambitious plan with the sorting of miscellaneous quartzite, granite and limestone blocks, then proceeded to documentation and the early stages of reconstruction. Now the mission is taking pleasure in witnessing the fruits of its endeavour. Monuments with could have been lost forever are seeing the light of day.

No Comments HOLD ON TO YOUR COMICS AND MAGS -- The future's only round the corner
I’m pretty sure there are many like me who have a predisposition to hoard. The Aladdin’s Cave of any home is the attic or loft where all the unwanted stuff gets piled away and is forgotten — out of sight, out of mind. My attic is the home to many of my kids’ (now grown up) old toys and comics, lovingly preserved and… Continue

No Comments YOUR THOUGHTS RECORDED -- FOR EVER
A THOUGHT: The act of thinking; the exercise of the mind in any of its higher forms; reflection; cogitation. "All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him,… Continue

No Comments LIBRARIES UNDER THREAT OF CLOSURE
It may not be happening in your neighbourhood yet, but if the UK manage to close down all of it's branch libraries because of so-called cost cutting, it could happen anywhere. Please support this by sharing with others.

MEADOWMANIA -- GOOGLE, ARE YOU WATCHING?
THE MEADOW by Mike O'Hare and Elfreda Pretorius. Available at most of the usual book outlets, including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Borders, Chapters etc. There is a whole new world created when the marketing machine gets into gear. Here's where it's important to get the right image and interest going with the intention of creating a sound or an image that will stick. Of course, once the book has been read, everything changes course and a more subtler approach is… Continue

No Comments THE PHYSICAL MEADOW -- By Mike
“The Meadow” has been written in a very extraordinary way. For example, there was never any intention to bring the story into manuscript format. It was only after my encounter with Elfreda that it became a reality and, between us, we prized the idea out of my head and onto a hard drive. Even when we began writing the story, there was never an outline laid out for the whole thing. Outlines were only prepared for each chapter as we took them step by step.
I remember Elfreda… Continue

No Comments THE SPOTTED COW
No guessing what the title is referring to. The Spotted Cow probably fits into the top ten of country pub names that are dotted around the UK and Channel Islands. However, there is one Spotted Cow which has a relevance and energy all of its own. In years to come, I wonder how much of this short story holds an irony which proves very special.
"The Meadow" novel features locations all around the world, and different times in history. Its characters are more than colourful… Continue

Screening for Uterine (Endometrial) Cancer
Hormonal Therapy
Living With Uterine Cancer
Related Media: Endometrial Biopsy
Screening is a way to evaluate people without symptoms to determine if they are at risk for cancer or have already developed cancer.
Screening involves:
Assessing your medical history and lifestyle habits for anything that may increase or decrease your risk of uterine cancer
Tests to identify early signs of uterine cancer
There are no routine universal screening tests for uterine cancer.
Patients with high risk for endometrial cancer or atypical hyperplasia may be screened. Screening is recommended only for women with certain risk factors, such as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, a rare familial syndrome in which multiple family members often develop bowel tumors and other tumors. These women should be followed closely by a doctor or team of doctors with expertise in cancer genetics. For a period of years, screening was recommended for all patients taking tamoxifen, but the current recommendation is not to screen, but to test if uterine bleeding occurs.
If you have symptoms such as vaginal bleeding after you go through
, or heavy or irregular bleeding before menopause, you should discuss these with your doctor.
—This procedure is not considered a routine screening test. More often it is performed if you are having symptoms that raise concern as to your risk for uterine cancer. During a pelvic exam, the doctor will remove a tissue sample from the lining of the uterus. You will lie on a table with your feet in stirrups. A speculum is used to open the vagina and an instrument called a tenaculum is used to grasp the cervix. The doctor then passes a thin, flexible instrument through the vagina and into the uterus. This tool is used to remove a small sample of endometrial tissue. You may experience some cramping, pain, tugging, and/or pressure during this procedure.
In the laboratory, the pathologist will examine the sample for cancer cells, a procedure that usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
Transvaginal ultrasonography
—Also not routinely used as a screening test, this ultrasonography is a way of taking a picture of the uterus using echoes from sound waves. The endometrial layer inside the uterus can be seen and measured. Excessive thickness may be an indication for further testing. This test is often used if you are experiencing problems like abnormal vaginal bleeding.

Where antiques are brought back to life
�Jug� on avenue since �82
Darlene Roina describes the modern world as a �throwaway society.� She and her husband Joe haven't mounted a crusade to change that, but for the past 20 years they have been working full-time - not to mention several part-time years before that - to save some of the best things made in the past.
Operated in a partially converted 99-year-old house at 1420 W. Colorado Ave., the Roinas' business, Jug & Basin, restores and sells antique furniture. �Restores� might not be a strong enough word. Joe, who is responsible for that side of the business, typically shops for larger, higher-end samples of fine wood craftsmanship that have fallen into disrepair (and sometimes are about to be scrapped). He then goes to work in the garage behind the house. It's not uncommon for him to strip a piece down to the ground before reassembling it (such as a recent Swiss Chalet China buffet from the 1880s that was �terrible� when he got it). En route, he repairs the broken parts and builds in missing sections, matching the type of wood and following the necessary historical criteria. Many hours of toil later, the Jug & Basin sales floor has another antique that looks as good as new. �It takes a lot of patience,� Joe noted.
�It's a labor of love,� added Darlene.
One thing it's not is lucrative. By working out of their house on the avenue - just the two of them now, but they also raised two sons there - and keeping on top of the antique business, they manage to make ends meet, but not a whole lot more, the Roinas said.
In fact, they are becoming a lost breed. Antique furniture-restoring businesses are disappearing. The reason, according to the Roinas, stems primarily from the labor-
intensiveness and increasing cost of wood and chemicals. �It's very expensive and hard work,� Joe pointed out. Even with just the two of them working out of their house, the Roinas have to be choosy. �The lower-end items just aren't cost-effective to repair anymore� he said. �It's a shame because a lot of them are just going to the wayside now.�
The types of customers for the Roinas have changed over the years. One of the reasons they chose the avenue originally, going back to 1982, was its visibility to passing tourists. �That was our niche,� Joe said. �Now [due largely to transportation cost increases], it's dropped to zero.�
But there is still a demand for what the Jug & Basin has to offer. Word of mouth reputation, built up over time, brings people to their door from near and far. Buyers have included such luminaries as George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch in California and former NBA basketball player Danny Schayes. On an everyday basis, what the Roinas have found is that historically Colorado Springs homes and businesses had fewer of the more elegant pieces than Denver. So what the couple does is to buy in Denver and restore/sell down here - although they also participate in a weekly Denver co-op along what's known as �Antique Row.�
Joe and Darlene are both ex-Air Force. That was how they met, back in California in 1971 before being transferred to Colorado Springs. They were married a year later. Their first child had certain developmental disabilities. Needing a second income, they came up with the idea of repairing old valuables and reselling them to make money. Initially, this was old cars, such as Bentleys and Thunderbirds, during their military tour of duty in England in the mid-'70s.
Later, they expanded to other items, using the local flea market when they were stateside. Returning from their second tour in England, they brought with them a quantity of jugs and basins. So that was how the store name came about (even though, as Darlene noted, they had no way of replenishing that inventory once they'd sold them all). Their first shop was in Cimarron Hills in 1981. They moved to the present address a year later, for the avenue exposure as well as to be closer to Old Colorado City's Goodwill Industries, where their older son still works. The business became full-time when Joe retired from the Air Force in '88.
In the early days, Darlene helped Joe with the stripping, but now focuses entirely on managing the salesroom floor. For his part, Joe enjoys the restoration work. �I love bringing something back that was going to be destroyed,� he said. In an exception to his larger-item rule, he recently worked on a youth chair from the early 1800s. �You can see where children dragged their feet on the footrest,� he marveled. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5565 | {"url": "http://westsidepioneer.com/Articles/071008/Antiques.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "westsidepioneer.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:21:10Z", "digest": "sha1:EDH7OZAGNGLMVSRGDTRE6E7AGVL2E4ZP"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4518, 4518.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4518, 4626.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4518, 13.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4518, 14.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4518, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4518, 224.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4518, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4518, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4518, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4518, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4518, 0.43036649]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4518, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4518, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4518, 0.02114636]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4518, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4518, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4518, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4518, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4518, 0.01502504]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4518, 0.01085142]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4518, 0.00946021]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4518, 0.00314136]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4518, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4518, 0.16858639]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4518, 0.51994852]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4518, 4.62548263]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4518, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4518, 5.4269035]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4518, 777.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 40, 0.0], [40, 66, 0.0], [66, 363, 1.0], [363, 1284, 1.0], [1284, 1323, 1.0], [1323, 1584, 1.0], [1584, 1751, 0.0], [1751, 2099, 0.0], [2099, 2387, 0.0], [2387, 3003, 0.0], [3003, 3469, 1.0], [3469, 4105, 1.0], [4105, 4518, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 40, 0.0], [40, 66, 0.0], [66, 363, 0.0], [363, 1284, 0.0], [1284, 1323, 0.0], [1323, 1584, 0.0], [1584, 1751, 0.0], [1751, 2099, 0.0], [2099, 2387, 0.0], [2387, 3003, 0.0], [3003, 3469, 0.0], [3469, 4105, 0.0], [4105, 4518, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 40, 7.0], [40, 66, 5.0], [66, 363, 52.0], [363, 1284, 157.0], [1284, 1323, 7.0], [1323, 1584, 51.0], [1584, 1751, 24.0], [1751, 2099, 61.0], [2099, 2387, 48.0], [2387, 3003, 105.0], [3003, 3469, 77.0], [3469, 4105, 112.0], [4105, 4518, 71.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 40, 0.0], [40, 66, 0.08], [66, 363, 0.00699301], [363, 1284, 0.01127396], [1284, 1323, 0.0], [1323, 1584, 0.0], [1584, 1751, 0.0], [1751, 2099, 0.0], [2099, 2387, 0.01449275], [2387, 3003, 0.0], [3003, 3469, 0.01330377], [3469, 4105, 0.00974026], [4105, 4518, 0.00997506]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 40, 0.0], [40, 66, 0.0], [66, 363, 0.0], [363, 1284, 0.0], [1284, 1323, 0.0], [1323, 1584, 0.0], [1584, 1751, 0.0], [1751, 2099, 0.0], [2099, 2387, 0.0], [2387, 3003, 0.0], [3003, 3469, 0.0], [3469, 4105, 0.0], [4105, 4518, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 40, 0.025], [40, 66, 0.03846154], [66, 363, 0.01346801], [363, 1284, 0.02171553], [1284, 1323, 0.05128205], [1323, 1584, 0.01149425], [1584, 1751, 0.0239521], [1751, 2099, 0.01724138], [2099, 2387, 0.02083333], [2387, 3003, 0.04058442], [3003, 3469, 0.03218884], [3469, 4105, 0.02830189], [4105, 4518, 0.01937046]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4518, 0.51179588]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4518, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4518, 0.58359909]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4518, -11.80734968]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4518, 101.14387431]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4518, -39.7580295]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4518, 48.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |

History of Washford Station
Washford Station is the first station on the �extension� from Watchet to Minehead and is different in style from the buildings of the earlier line. The station opened in 1874 and unlike some of the other stations on the line is in the village it serves.
The Station is painted in Southern Region colours setting it apart from the other stations, painted in the colours of the Great Western Railway and its successor the Western Region of British Railways. The small wooden building next to the main building is the original signalbox which contains a set of levers. Although the �Midford� exhibit has been designed to represent an ex-S&DJR location, the lever-frame is in fact a part of one from the former signal-box at Woolston (near Southampton).

hide Prostitution ring discovered after woman shot by pimp
Arrest MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ) - Four people have been charged with 28 counts of running a prostitution business in Milwaukee, after a woman was shot-and-wounded in a dispute with her pimp. The main suspect, 38-year-old London Triplett, is charged with 21 felonies that include human trafficking, attempted homicide, reckless endangerment, and manufacturing heroin. He’s due in court Friday. Triplett’s mother and girlfriend are also charged, along with a business partner from Sheboygan. The shooting victim is a 21-year-old Sheboygan woman. According to prosecutors, she was trying to feed a $400-a-day heroin habit when Triplett offered her drugs and a room if she’d work as a prostitute. She later moved to a house owned by Triplett’s mother with two other prostitutes, including the man’s girlfriend. And when they weren’t selling sex, authorities said they were locked up in the house while Triplett worked at a Waukesha car dealer. Meanwhile, police said the business partner – 34-year-old Ethan Massey – recruited another 21-year-old Sheboygan woman to the business. In late January, the second woman left, and authorities said the first woman was shot after she threatened to tell his probation agent that he punched her in the face. Prosecutors said she went back home to Sheboygan without getting treatment. When questioned by police, Triplett claimed he was shot by a robber. But Milwaukee officers found enough evidence to consider the man a suspect. Officers raided the house last month and found heroin.

hide Analysis: Stuck in reverse, Detroit edges closer to bankruptcy
Monday, January 28, 2013 3:48 p.m. CST
By Nick Carey, Bernie Woodall and Karen Pierog
DETROIT (Reuters) - At the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, luxury was in the air. Pricey new Bentleys and Maseratis glittered - including a Maserati 2014 Quattroporte with a $132,000 price tag; U.S. Cabinet Secretaries and dignitaries rubbed shoulders; and many of the well-heeled attendees ponied up for a $300-a-ticket black-tie charity ball.
But in a city that is slowly dying, the glitz didn't extend much beyond the Cobo Center exhibition hall.
General Motors Co and Chrysler , which along with Ford Motor Co gave the Motor City its identity, survived near-death experiences after filing for bankruptcy during the financial crisis. Now, Detroit itself is edging closer to a similar precipice, only unlike the automakers, its chances of getting a federal bailout are almost nonexistent.
The story of Detroit's decline is decades old: Its tax revenue and population have shrunk and labor costs have remained out of whack. But the city's budget problems have deepened to such an extent that it could run out of cash in a matter of weeks or months and ultimately be forced into what would be the largest-ever Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy filing in the United States.
Frustrated by the lack of concrete progress, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder, a Republican, last month appointed a team to scour the city's books. The audit could result in a state takeover of Detroit's finances through the appointment of an emergency financial manager. Such a manager, who would seize control of the city's checkbook, could then propose federal bankruptcy court as the best option.
Snyder, who has called the situation "a crisis in terms of financial affairs," said the team would deliver its report in February.
"Detroit is teetering on the verge of bankruptcy after the City Council has failed to make the necessary cuts to deal with having a smaller population," said Rick Jones, chairman of the Republican majority caucus in the state Senate.
Jones, who has indicated he does not favor a bankruptcy, said he would like to see an emergency manager installed to fix the city's problems. If that failed, there would be a case for finding a way to shrink the Detroit municipal area, he argued.
Detroit's population is now just over 700,000 - down 30 percent since 1990 - but the city still has to provide services to an area encompassing more land than San Francisco, Boston and the borough of Manhattan.
While Democratic Mayor Dave Bing and the Detroit City Council have moved to reduce spending and initiate some reforms to stave off a takeover, including layoffs and wage and benefit cuts, the progress may not be enough for Michigan officials and lawmakers.
STREETS WITHOUT LIGHTS
In the booming post-Second World War era, Detroit was America's fifth-largest city. Today, it ranks 18th. In addition to a sharp population decline, it suffers from high unemployment related to a loss of businesses, a flood of home foreclosures and a cut in state funding. That has led to shriveling revenue, leaving the city unable to afford a workforce of more than 10,000 and the surging health and pension costs that go with them and with its retirees. As a result, credit ratings on Detroit's approximately $8.2 billion of outstanding debt have sunk deeper into junk territory.
The city's labor costs, including health care and pensions, are shrinking in absolute terms but rising as a share of the budget. They are slated to drop to $968 million, or nearly 49.5 percent of the operating budget, in the fiscal year ending June 30 versus $1.14 billion, or 45.5 percent, a year earlier.
Signs of decline are everywhere - in a rising crime rate, streets without lights and block after block of abandoned buildings. The murder rate of one per 1,719 people last year was more than 11 times the rate in New York City. The jobless rate is above 18 percent, more than twice rate for the country as a whole.
A bankruptcy would be messy.
The interests of creditors would likely collide with those of labor unions wanting to protect workers' benefits, said Eric Scorsone, a Michigan State University economist who has written papers on municipal bankruptcy and on the state's emergency manager laws.
"It is going to require the players - the City Council, the mayor, the state - to be on the same page. If you go into bankruptcy with a lot of conflict and dissent, it's going to cost more," said Scorsone.
It could also be racially explosive. Detroit has the largest percentage of black people of any U.S. city, with 83 percent of the population identifying themselves as African American, black or Negro, according to the 2010 U.S. census. Most of Michigan's state government, including the governor's office, is run by white Republicans.
Detroit Council Member JoAnn Watson, who along with two other members of the city's all-black City Council has been resisting reform measures, said she is still hopeful of a federal bailout or an injection of state money that she claims the city is owed.
Mayor Bing would not comment for this story.
CONSEQUENCES, WHAT CONSEQUENCES?
The automakers have little to say publicly about the crisis. Most of their operations in Michigan are now outside Detroit, and getting any top executive to even discuss the possibility of a city bankruptcy was almost impossible at the auto show. "I don't want to get into the politics," said GM CEO Dan Akerson, while Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne said: "I don't see what the consequences would be for us."
One of the city's biggest challenges is its complex set of labor agreements with a whopping 48 bargaining units that represent most of the city's workforce.
Max Newman, a bankruptcy attorney at Michigan-based Butzel Long, said a Chapter 9 bankruptcy could help the city throw out its collective bargaining agreements with unions.
Costs would have to be tackled since Detroit cannot just jack up taxes to reduce the cumulative budget deficit, which grew to $326.6 million in fiscal 2012 from $196.6 million in fiscal 2011. The state would likely resist tax increases, and they might only make matters worse anyway. "If taxes go up any further it would exacerbate the flight out of the city," Newman said.
But for some of those who have seen Detroit struggle for years, bankruptcy is starting to look like the least awful option - even though it will be painful.
"I think...off and on, that it wouldn't be a bad idea," said former Ford chief financial officer Allan Gilmour, now the president of Detroit's Wayne State University. "Let's clean this out once and for all."

hide U.S. options on Syria include multi-day strikes: official
Wednesday, August 28, 2013 10:52 a.m. CDT
A woman (2nd R) affected by what activists said was an apparent gas attack is lead to a team of U.N. chemical weapons experts for checking d WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration is considering military options that include multi-day strikes on Syrian government targets in response to last week's chemical weapons attack, a senior U.S. official said on Wednesday.
"The options are not limited to just one day," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity, as the prospects for a U.S.-led air and missile assault on Syria looked all but certain.
Though the White House said President Barack Obama had yet to make a final decision on exactly how to respond, U.S. security officials have said that any air campaign would likely involve cruise missiles fired from U.S. warships in the Mediterranean.
But the United States does not intend to act unilaterally should it choose to go forward with military action, the senior official said. "We're talking to a number of different allies regarding participation," the official said.
Obama, who has long been wary of any intervention in Syria's civil war, has been consulting allied leaders to lay the groundwork for action aimed at punishing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government for last Wednesday's gas attack near Damascus.
U.S. intelligence agencies were assembling what they are sure to say is final confirmation of the Syrian government's culpability for the chemical weapons attack, and the White House said their report would be completed this week. Assad's government has denied responsibility.
A second administration official said the United States was still defining its objectives but that strikes to deter Assad from using chemical weapons in the future and degrade his ability to do so were under consideration.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Tuesday that a U.S. response would not have the goal of "regime change" in Syria, suggesting that Obama remains cautious about getting too deeply involved in the conflict. Polls show most Americans oppose U.S. intervention.
Republican U.S. Senator John McCain, a harsh critic of Obama's Syria policy, rejected that limited goal.
"This conflict cannot be contained within Syria, and we have to understand that and that's why we've got to help these people get rid of Bashar al-Assad, to get the momentum back on their side," he said on MSNBC.

BERLIN (Reuters) - Eight years ago Angela Merkel stared gloomily at the election results with disbelief when her party crashed to 35.2 percent of the German vote, seven points below the opinion poll forecast.
Her poll lead melted away again on election day four years later, though her conservatives stayed in power despite their worst result since 1949. Indeed her Christian Democrats (CDU) and their Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), have fallen short of forecasts in the last six elections.
They are leading again as the September 22 vote comes round, but that humbling record explains why Merkel is not letting up, with 56 campaign stops in the month before voters give their verdict.
The chancellor warns in her speeches that supporters will have a "rude awakening" if they place too much faith in polls.
Once highly accurate, voter surveys in Germany have become a less reliable barometer as party allegiances weaken, voter turnout falls, differences between parties disappear and small newcomers crowd the ballot sheet.
"We're not making up the drama of this situation," Hermann Groehe, Merkel's campaign manager, told a small group of foreign journalists when asked about unreliable polls.
"It's not a screenplay we created as part of some campaign strategy. It's the real situation, and it's going to be a close race right to the wire. It's all still very much wide open."
A trawl through data shows pollsters over-estimated the strength of the CDU/CSU in every federal election since 1990.
Merkel's conservatives may have a comfortable 15-point lead over the next biggest party, the Social Democrats (SPD), but her centre-right coalition is in a dead heat against three combined left-of-centre parties in some opinion polls, each having about 45 percent.
She knows that in 2005 nearly a third of voters made up their minds in the final week.
FICKLE VOTERS
"This will be by far the most difficult German election to predict ever," said Wolfgang Gibowski, a political scientist at the University of Potsdam, who co-founded the Electoral Research Group (FGW) polling institute in 1974.
"It's a huge mistake to think 'Merkel's got it sewn up'. There's a lot of volatility, and the pool of swing voters is larger than ever before. Party programs are so similar, so it's easy to see voters changing their minds up to election day."
That gives sleepless nights to the pollsters, who blame a fickle electorate for the waning reliability of their polls.
"Our work has become harder because voters don't have the same close ties to the parties any more, and before there were just three main parties compared to six or more now," said Manfred Guellner, managing director of pollster Forsa.
His institute was nevertheless more accurate than rivals in predicting a fatal slide for the CDU/CSU in 2002 that cost Edmund Stoiber victory. Forsa was also the only pollster in 2009 that did not over-estimate CDU/CSU support.
The conservatives' faith in polls took another beating in January when they lost Lower Saxony state to the SPD and Greens. The CDU was forecast to win 41 percent but won 36 percent.
"Voter turnout keeps falling, and that amplifies the impact of these last-minute shifts," said political scientist Thomas Jaeger at Cologne University, predicting turnout could dip below 70 percent from 70.8 percent in 2009 and 77.7 percent in 2005.
Another source of uncertainty are two new protest parties on the ballot: both the Pirates, which campaigns for e-democracy and citizens' rights in the info-technology sphere, and the eurosceptic Alternative fuer Deutschland (AfD) poll 3 percent, but may do better than expected.
Due to an intangible embarrassment factor associated with the AfD's unwanted popularity with the far right, which is ostracized in Germany, the party could get votes from people who are less than candid when talking to pollsters.
"The problem with these smaller parties is that supporters won't always admit that to pollsters," said Jaeger in Cologne - adding that this also applied to the Free Democrats (FDP), the junior partners in Merkel's coalition.
The FDP have repeatedly confounded dire poll predictions. They were not expected to survive the Lower Saxony election but won almost twice the level of votes forecast.
Peer Steinbrueck, the SPD candidate to unseat Merkel, hopes for a late swing that will make pollsters look foolish, telling reporters: "It's like a football match - it is the final 10 minutes that count."
Guellner at Forsa says the SPD's success in tapping into the dormant pool of millions of former SPD voters who have stayed at home in the last two elections is a major factor of uncertainty.
If the SPD mobilizes an extra 2 million voters it would reduce the CDU/CSU's share to about 37 percent from the current 40 percent. That could thwart Merkel's ambitions and force her to repeat the 2005-2009 right-left 'grand coalition' - or even hand the SPD and Greens a long-shot victory.
"That's something that the pollsters will never be able to definitively answer - how many people will stay at home on election day and how the undecideds will behave," said Gero Neugebauer, political scientist at Berlin's Free University.

Explanation This template exists to simplify addition of a footnote feature within the handbook pages, to reduce the work needed when the handbook wiki is published into the dead tree version. It may also facilitate verification of all external links except that this assumes that all external links (of both types below) are in the wiki using this template. In addition, the links are made 'simple' which means there will only be the subscripted numeral within square brackets, and no square with upper-right pointing arrow symbol.
Implementation - 1st part The Citelink template method to satisfy the per-link part.
External The URL is for a location outside of wiki.pcbsd.org. For the link use {{Citelink|url=complete URL|txt=alternate text}}
Special External The URL is for a site not part of the PC-BSD wiki, but has a defined shortcut such as for wikipedia.
{{Citelink|shortcut|url=page URL|txt=alternate text}}
Example: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/faq/ faq on wikipedia] becomes {{citelink|wikipedia|url=faq|faq on wikipedia}}

Liberals liquor privatization plan a business flop
By Paul Willcocks
VICTORIA - Governments are in a tough spot when it comes to our legal vices.
On the one hand, our collective fondness for drinking, smoking and gambling creates a rash of problems for individuals, families and communities.
But our sins do rake in the cash for government. The B.C. government will take in more than $2 billion from our tobacco, drinking and gambling this year, almost twice as much as it earns in revenues from the province's forests.
We're not likely to give up our vices. And governments aren't likely to give up the chance to extract a largely voluntary tax.
But they still have to do it efficiently.
Which leads to the B.C. government's shaky march towards privatizing the liquor business.
The theory is sound. There's no reason why the government has to own liquor stores.
But based on the government's own numbers, the current privatization plan is going to cost taxpayers between $75 million and $150 million over the next three years, with no big benefits in service, selection or price. And that doesn't make sense.
B.C. is following in the path blazed by Alberta, still the only province with a private system 10 years after it made the switch.
But the path looks bumpy. A review of the Alberta changes released this month found that they have cost the government $500 million in tax revenue over the last decade.
Before the change Alberta's revenue from liquor sales increased as population and prices rose. But the shift to private stores also involved a change in the way taxes were levied on liquor sales. The result has been basically flat revenues and a large loss for taxpayers.
The savings weren't passed on to consumers. Prices have increased more quickly in Alberta than they have in B.C. over the decade. The study, done by the University of Alberta's Parkland Institute, found prices in the two provinces are now almost identical.
And the study found no great benefits to offset the lost revenue. There are three times as many liquor stores now, but most are small, with limited selection. More people are working in them, but they're being paid about half the old rate. Some liquor-related crimes are up, but not much.
B.C.'s privatization initiative involves a more immediate cost to taxpayers. The Liquor Distribution Branch plans to close about half its 223 stores over three years, as private stores open. The LDB projects its operating profit - the money government takes in - will show no growth over the three-year period.
If the system was left alone, with revenues rising at the same rate as they have in recent years and costs controlled, the take for government would be $150 million higher.
It's not just alcohol. The Liberals used to rail against the "reckless expansion of gambling." Last month they quietly lifted the 300-slot limit on casinos, setting a province-wide cap of 5,400 machines. No increase, they say, because that's the maximum if all 18 approved casinos ever put in the maximum 300 slots. But the reality is that there about 3,300 slot machines in B.C. today and the change ensures there will be a lot more. The BC Lottery Corporation plans to increase profits by almost 50 per cent in the next three years, thanks mainly to the explosion in slots.
Meanwhile, the government quietly released a major study of problem gambling last month. It found that 4.6 per cent of British Columbians are problem gamblers, about average. But the gambling expansion is having consequences: 11 per cent of the population are "at-risk gamblers," the highest level of any jurisdiction that has done a similar study.
And expanding gambling - especially slots, the gateway drug for casino players - adds to the problem.
There's nothing wrong with making money off our vices. But governments need to recognize the risks. And they certainly need to avoid initiatives, like the liquor privatization plan, that cost taxpayers money and offer little in return.
Footnote: The liquor plan is under review. Responsibility for the whole initiative has been moved from Competition Minister Rick Thorpe to Solicitor General Rich Coleman, who is reviewing the entire project. The plan was flawed from the beginning, and needs a major rethink.

hide Record 84 international players on NBA opening night rosters

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A record 84 foreign born players from 38 countries and territories will be on opening night rosters when the NBA tips off a new season on Tuesday.
The 84 international players just pips the previous record of 83, from the opening night in the 2006-07 campaign.
The small increase is a continuation of the steady rise of foreign players in the NBA. A decade ago, the rosters featured 45 international players from 28 countries and territories.
Only two of the league's 30 teams will be without at least one foreign player on opening night while the Toronto Raptors will have the most international flair with six foreign players.
The Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz will both field five international players while eight teams have four.
One of North America's most diverse and multi-cultural cities, the Raptors' players hail from six different countries, Australia, Brazil, Italy, Lithuania, Nigeria and Spain.

hide Nuggets fire coach of the year Karl
Thursday, June 06, 2013 12:24 p.m. EDT
Denver Nuggets head coach George Karl reacts during Game 4 of the NBA Western Division quarter-final basketball playoff game against the Gol (Reuters) - George Karl, the National Basketball Association's reigning coach of the year, has been fired by the Denver Nuggets, the team said on Thursday.
Karl, who had a year left on his contract, joined Denver in January 2005 and guided the team to nine consecutive playoff appearances and an overall record of 423-257.
"George has been an instrumental part of our success over the past decade, and we appreciate everything he did to keep us among the top teams in the Western Conference," Nuggets President Josh Kroenke said in a statement.
"He is a Hall of Fame coach whose legacy in Denver will last for years to come. George is a legend in the game of basketball and I could not have more respect for him as a person and coach," he said.
Some media reports suggested Karl had been pushing for a contract extension which the team was not willing to grant him.
Karl, 62, led the Nuggets to a team-record 57 wins in the 2012-13 season and the third seed in the Western Conference, but Denver fell to the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the playoffs.
The Nuggets advanced past the first round once under Karl, reaching the Western Conference finals in 2009.

hide Obama makes impassioned plea for gun control legislation
Thursday, March 28, 2013 6:09 p.m. EDT

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama attempted on Thursday to inject fresh momentum into efforts to pass gun-control legislation, pleading with U.S. lawmakers not to forget those shot to death in Newtown, Connecticut three months ago.
Amid signs that he may have to accept a scaled-down version of gun legislation, Obama sounded a note of frustration in calling upon Americans to demand action from the U.S. Congress in the weeks ahead.
He said the legislation's opponents, the powerful U.S. gun lobby led by the National Rifle Association, are "doing everything they can" to derail the effort barely 100 days after the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, in which a gunman killed 20 children, six staff members and then himself.
"The entire country pledged we would do something about it and that this time would be different. Shame on us if we've forgotten. I haven't forgotten those kids. Shame on us if we've forgotten," said Obama, appearing at the White House with mothers of children who had been shot to death.
The gunman in Newtown, Adam Lanza, fired 154 rounds in less than 5 minutes, selecting high capacity magazines from a home arsenal stocked with swords, knives and a cache of guns, officials said Thursday.
Despite events like this, a grassroots organizing effort by Obama supporters and a high-profile advertising campaign funded by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to keep up the pressure, gun legislation has been stalled on Capitol Hill in recent weeks.
The best chance of success for gun-control advocates is that Congress will approve universal background checks for gun purchasers and tougher penalties for gun trafficking.
Less likely to pass are bans on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips, two of the main proposals to emerge from Vice President Joe Biden's gun violence task force, formed by Obama after the Newtown shootings.
'JUST THE BEGINNING'
Biden seemed to acknowledged the challenge when he said on a conference call on Wednesday organized by Mayors Against Illegal Guns that the administration will keep pressing for action regardless of what Congress does in the immediate future.
"Let me say this as clearly as I can: This is just the beginning," Biden said.
Obama had hoped at the outset of his second term to use his re-election mandate to make rapid progress on three major issues: gun violence, deficit-reduction and immigration reform.
All are moving slowly, however.
Immigration may offer the best prospect for action as Republicans seek to attract more Hispanic Americans who voted overwhelming for Obama and his Democrats in the 2012 elections.
Republicans insist that any pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants be preceded by certification that U.S. borders are secure.
The biggest stumbling block to an immigration bill concerns creation of a guest-worker program to allow immigrants to cross the U.S.-Mexican border legally for temporary jobs.
U.S. labor unions, which worry such a program would lead to a loss of jobs for Americans, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have yet to arrive at a formula acceptable to both. Their agreement is considered crucial to bringing Congress along.
Obama has said he is encouraged by the progress, and he believes the dispute over the guest-worker program can be resolved. After first declaring the U.S.-Mexican border sufficiently secure, Obama now says it can be improved, a position that may permit him to make a deal with Republicans.
"I'm actually optimistic about this, in part because I think both Republicans as well as Democrats are now recognizing that it's the right thing to do," Obama told Univision, a Spanish-language network, in an interview on Wednesday.
Obama's attempt to negotiate a "grand bargain" aimed at reducing the U.S. budget deficit is facing old-fashioned political gridlock and could collapse into a partisan sinkhole.
In a fresh round of schmoozing to discuss this and other legislative items, Obama will dine with a dozen Republican senators on April 10, the second such meeting he will have held in his attempts to engage his political opponents.
TAXING THE RICH
Lawmakers are still bruised from a fight over $85 billion in automatic spending cuts that went into effect a month ago despite Obama's attempt to head them off.
Obama still wants what Republicans refused to give him in that budget fight, an increase in taxes on the wealthy by eliminating some deductions and loopholes. Republicans instead want to cut spending.
The White House struck a pessimistic note this week on the prospects for success given the Republican leadership's refusal to agree to raise more tax revenues.
"As long as Republicans are saying we're not going to ask the wealthiest and well-connected to pay a single dime to reduce our deficit, then it is hard to imagine that we're going to reach a compromise," White House deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said Wednesday.
The difficulties in gaining passage of major legislation reflects the continued grip partisan politics holds on Washington, with the White House and Senate run by Democrats and the House of Representatives controlled by Republicans. This makes the 2014 midterm congressional elections of increasing importance.
"Look, it's what we all thought when Obama was re-elected," said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics. "There is just not going to be a lot of new legislation in Obama's second term, unless he wins the House in 2014, and even then it looks very, very tough."

hide 'Popsicle' mic surprises Bruno Mars at Super Bowl rehearsal

NEW YORK (Reuters) - An early rehearsal for the Super Bowl halftime show at the outdoor stadium held some weather-related surprises for two-time Grammy Award winning singer Bruno Mars.
"The microphone turns into a popsicle!" Mars said on Thursday at a press conference along with opera great Renee Fleming, who will sing the National Anthem before Sunday night's game.
"I'm grabbing the mic and it's frozen," the Hawaii-born Mars told reporters, sporting his trademark bouffant. "There's stuff like that that we're taking into consideration. And getting some heaters."
The singer said he was surprised to be tapped by the National Football League as the featured halftime performer, following in the footsteps of superstars like Beyonce, Prince, Bruce Springsteen and The Who.
"I haven't been able to take it in - not yet," Mars said. "But I will."
Mars offered no details of what fans will see or hear when he takes the stage accompanied by alternate rockers the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Fleming has no musical concerns, she said, about delivering "The Star-Spangled Banner" the challenging 200-year-old anthem that requires singers to have a wide range.
The world-renowned soprano with four Grammy Awards and a National Humanities Medal from President Barack Obama, is more concerned about something else: tuning out the distractions in a high-tech stadium filled with 80,000 fans waiting for the Seattle Seahawks-Denver Broncos matchup - with another 160 million, by NFL estimates, expected to watch on television.
"I work in a world that is completely no tech, zero amplification and all live acoustic music, and I expect to be really distracted by the amount of sound coming from the system, from the size of the stadium, from the audience and also the visual from the jumbotron," Fleming said.
In past years, the Super Bowl has featured pop singers such as Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys and Billy Joel to deliver the anthem.
Fleming said she had never expected to get the call: "If you'd asked me six months ago if I'd be doing this, I'd have laughed and said, 'That's ridiculous,' and changed the subject."

Executive Summary: “Sustaining WMUK’s Future” By Gordon Bolar, General Manager Click Here for WMUK's Strategic Plan Summary When I interviewed for the position of General Manager of WMUK in 2011, the search committee asked me what I believed WMUK should emphasize. I told them that WMUK has 36,000 faithful weekly listeners. “Now,” I said, “we need to find ways to listen to them.” With input from volunteers, members of our Friends Advisory Committee and two surveys, I am pleased to report that our staff has been listening. Needless to say, we have also learned. Much of what we learned is manifested in our vision statement and in our new strategic plan. In this age of rapid changes affecting all media, we learned that there were technological changes we had yet to respond to. We have made adjustments on our website and in our mobile capabilities in the past year. Our strategic plan makes provisions to adapt to the changing needs of diverse, new and traditional audiences in the future. As we do, we are mindful of Western Michigan University’s mission: “Learner Centered, Discovery Driven and Globally Engaged.” Shrinking coverage from other local media sources has generated a need for more local news and coverage of our community’s rich cultural scene. Our plan addresses this with personnel dedicated to producing new content. New programs will address listener needs in music. Another need we have come to terms with was our lack of resources in marketing and promoting WMUK. There might have been a time, a few years ago, when listeners expected little or no spending in the area of marketing. That time has passed. Given the competition and the array of choices for listeners today, marketing became a priority in numerous planning discussions. As one member of our planning team put it, “WMUK can no longer hide its light under a bushel.” I agree. Our story, our programs and our services should be brought to the attention of everyone. Closely related to marketing is the area of community involvement. Our plan provides for more personal appearances by our staff and will continue to include sponsorship of community events. In addition, we plan to collaborate with selected local organizations to extend our services. No plan for the future would be complete without addressing the importance of funding and sustaining all of the efforts mentioned above. Our plan considers the pressing need for increased membership support, and outlines means of achieving this. We have also included underwriting as a major stream of revenue and have planned for better business-to-business communication. Major funding from donors and foundations is also part of our plan in the area of development. I am pleased to report that some of the goals and projects in our plan were achieved before the plan was released on October 1, 2013. “Sustaining WMUK’s Future” is a working document. It will not be merely filed away or forgotten. A dynamic calendar will keep us on target with our goals and projects during the next five years. Our progress will be reviewed annually. Finally, I extend my thanks to the WMUK staff members who co-authored our plan: Andy Robins, Klay Woodworth, Martin Klemm, Mark Tomlonson, Anders Dahlberg and Kim Willis.

hide Report: Wisconsin's private sector wages fell July-September 2012
Saturday, February 23, 2013 8:49 a.m. CST
Paycheck MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Wisconsinites as a whole appear to be making less money at their jobs. A report prepared for the U.S. Labor Department said average private sector wages for last July through September dropped by 1.2 percent from the same time in 2011. Wells Fargo Bank economist Brian Jacobsen said it appears that there’s been a slight move toward lower-paying jobs – and he called that troubling. The same report said Wisconsin created almost 20,500 new jobs in the year ending in September – much less than in previous quarters. The state averaged over 37,000 new jobs on a year-to-year basis as of the last seven quarters before this one. The numbers were prepared for the U.S. Labor Department’s Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages. The full national report is due out later this year. Although the figures are a number of months old, they represent the most complete employment picture, since virtually all employers are surveyed. The monthly unemployment reports survey only a small fraction of companies – and while the numbers get the biggest attention, they’re also subject to heavy revisions later on.

hide Google to develop new headquarters at London's Kings Cross
The Google signage is seen at the company's headquarters in New York January 8, 2013. REUTERS/Andrew Kelly LONDON (Reuters) - Google Inc. is developing a new UK headquarters which could be worth as much as 1 billion pounds ($1.6 billion) when finished, the latest overseas property deal for the cash-rich U.S. Internet group.
Google has purchased a 2.4 acre plot at the Kings Cross Central development, one of London's biggest regeneration schemes, where it will build a 1 million square foot office, the property developers behind the project said on Thursday without disclosing the purchase price.
A separate source with knowledge of the deal said Google was investing 650 million pounds to buy and develop the site. The office building will be worth up to 1 billion pounds when it is finished in 2016, a second source said.
"This is a big investment by Google, we're committing further to the UK - where computing and the web were invented. It's good news for Google, for London and for the UK," Google's Vice President for Northern and Central Europe, Matt Brittin, said in a statement.
Google will move from its current offices in the UK capital's Victoria and Holborn districts in 2016 when the building completes. Construction on the site will start in late 2013 and the building will range in height from 7 to 11 storeys.
Kings Cross Central, which sits on a former fish, coal and grain goods yard to the north of the city, spans 67 acres and will contain homes, offices and shops. It is being built by the Kings Cross Central Limited Partnership which includes developer Argent Group.
Google's new neighbors when it moves will include the real estate arm of French bank BNP Paribas, as well as a cultural and education centre managed by the Aga Khan, spiritual leader of Ismaili Muslims.
Google has traditionally leased its overseas offices but in the past two years has purchased premises in Paris, Dublin, and now London, its filings show.
As of December 31, 2011, Google has $44.6 billion of cash, with $21.2 billion of that held offshore, according to its 2011 annual report. If the funds held offshore were repatriated, they would be subject to U.S. taxes, Google said.
Tax campaigner and accountant Richard Murphy said the decision to buy property rather than rent was likely "tax motivated" and driven by the fact the company cannot repatriate the cash to the U.S. without paying a fat tax bill.
"If you're not going to send it back to the parent company to repurchase its shares, which is the normal route for a U.S. corporation sitting on a pile of cash, what else are you going to do with it?" he said
Google declined to comment on the tax issue.
Office landlords see Google as a prized tenant as its presence is expected to draw other technology companies - especially small start-ups - and help to bump up rents. ($1 = 0.6252 British pounds)

Struggle for Justice: Case study of Asbestos Victims in Gujarat, India
Raghunath Manavar1, Mangabhai Patel2
1Occupational Health & Safety Association, India
2Victim Person (Asbestosis), India
This paper presents the struggle of the asbestos victims in India with special reference to the western state of Gujarat. It also highlights the story of victim Mangabhai, who is also participating in this conference. The report provides insights on how poor and unemployed persons are trapped into working in hazardous industries in India. This report will also focus on the struggle to get recognition for asbestos related sickness and the fight for compensation of the victims. The report will also highlight the problems of workers not getting the proper diagnosis and thus not getting any compensation. The report will also describe the efforts of our organisation, the Occupational Health and Safety Association (OSHA), to carry out studies on the prevalence of asbestos related diseases in other parts of India and our efforts to campaign for a complete ban on asbestos in India.
Mangabhai, who is suffering from asbestosis, worked in the boiler department of the Ahmedabad power plant since 1965. He was working as a casual worker in the plant and was classified as a permanent worker only in 1980. Mangabhai started to experience breathing problems in the early 1990s and soon it became very difficult for him to work. The company used to carry out medical check-ups for workers every 2-3 years, yet they found nothing wrong with him. At this juncture he came to me and explained his problems to me. I sought the advice of Dr S. H. Clarke, a retired OSH expert from the Industrial Toxicology Research Centre, India, who was working with the Consumer Education and Research Center (CERC). We identified 8 workers with the same problems and the CERC lawyer, the late Rani Advani, filed a petition in the Gujarat High Court. The court instructed the National Institute of Occupational Health, based in Ahmedabad, to examine the workers. Two of the workers died before they could be examined and two of them were diagnosed as suffering from asbestosis (including Mangabhai). Mangabhai has received only an interim compensation of 10,000 Rupees (US$218) and is still waiting for the final judgment.
I am accompanied by Sri Mangabhai Patel, an asbestos victim from India. He worked at the thermal power plant in Ahmedabad. Ahmedabad was the capital of the State of Gujarat until 1970, after which the capital was shifted to adjoining, specifically built, Gandhinagar. The power plant is owned by the Ahmedabad Electric Company. It was a state owned company; now it is in the public limited sector and owned by the Torrent Group, which has interests in the pharmaceutical industry as well. The thermal power plant was established in 1945, though in 1913 it was established to generate power using diesel.
Mangabhai was an unemployed youth and used to visit the power plant where large numbers of job seekers would be waiting at the gate like him. Some 8-10 people from his village, Chandkheda, were working in the power plant. So, he would beseech them to take him with them and do something to get him employed. They had advised him to be at the gate daily at 8 am. If there was a need for laborers in some part of the plant, supervisors would ring up the gate and ask the personnel department to send laborers needed. If lucky, he would get a chance. He was labeled as a �non-card casual laborer' since 1965. In those days, there were 25 boilers and 16 turbines. In the boiler department, absenteeism remained high. So, he was sent to the boiler department most frequently. In 1973, he was given the status of �card holder casual laborer'. As said earlier, he got work in the boiler department most of the days he worked. In the boiler department, he accompanied a mason, as his helper.
In 1980, he was made permanent. He was sent for a �pre-employment medical examination' on 23-10-80 � after working for 7 long years. Medical Officer Dr. Doshi, declared him as �fit for job'. On 1-12-80, he was given an appointment letter, appointing him as �temporary laborer' for 6 months. He was supposed to have another medical examination within that six months but was not sent for an examination until a year later, i.e. on 18-01-82. He was declared to be suffering from TB and as a result he was refused appointment as a Probationer. He worked as a temporary laborer from 23-10-80 to 13-03-83. On 11-03-83, he was again examined by the doctor, who declared him �fit'. He was lucky this time. Ultimately, from 01-06-83, he was classified as a permanent laborer.
Mangabhai was placed with the mason. Their job was to stem leakages from pipe-joints, arch, header cap or drum level. Valve joints used to be covered with asbestos. His job was to hammer the outer asbestos cover and remove it. Thereafter he had to make a fresh mixture of magnesium silicate, asbestos and other materials for necessary repairs. He had to bring from the stores materials like asbestos blocks, asbestos ropes, asbestos belt and return left-over material back to the stores.
In 91-92 he started to have breathing problems. He started getting tired early. By and by his condition worsened. The company used to carry out medical examinations every two-three years, but they did not detect any illness. Then he came to me one day and talked to me at length about his problem.
I went to Dr. S. H. Clarke, who was a retired occupational health expert working with the Consumer Education and Research Centre as a consultant. After retiring from the Industrial Toxicology Research Centre he had joined our power plant as Factory Medical Officer. He soon had some differences with the management and he quit. During his tenure, I had established good rapport with this kind old man. He was fond of me. Moreover, he was staying nearby, which provided me with an opportunity to spend my spare time with him and learn from him.
He then talked with his colleagues at CERC. CERC lawyer, the late Rani Advani, got interested in the matter. She called on me. She asked if there were any other workers with similar complaints. We talked to our colleagues and found that there were 8 workers who had similar complaints. Ms. Advani petitioned the Gujarat High Court. The Court ordered the National Institute of Occupational Health (NIOH) to examine these workers and submit a report.
Two workers, viz. Motiram (5-01-96) and Manaji Rathod (02-02-96) died before the NIOH could examine them. NIOH examined the remaining 6 and submitted its report to the Court on 22-06-96. NIOH found 4 of them to be suffering from tuberculosis and 2 with asbestos related illness. The Court passed an order on 8-05-97 to pay interim compensation to the two workers. One of them, Kishan Gopalani, died soon after the court passed the order. His family was paid Rs.25,000. Another was Mangabhai, who was paid Rs.10,000 as interim compensation. The petition is pending since 96 for final disposal. We wonder when the final verdict will be delivered.
At this juncture, I am reminded of one incident which speaks volumes on the integrity of the medical professionals in the field. In the process of the petitioning the High Court, we received more and more complaints of illness which were probably related with workplace exposure. The list was submitted to the Court. The Court ordered that ESIS should examine individuals on the list and decide. As a result, the ESIS Medical Board invited these 41 workers to the Board on 28-09-98. Among the panel of doctors on this Board, was one from NIOH. Managabhai, who is accompanying me to this Conference, was among the 41 workers. He was examined by the same NIOH doctor in 96, where he was declared as one suffering from asbestos related illness. He was again examined by the same doctor, here as one of the panel of experts on the ESIS Board. Mangabhai was not asked about his history. When the Board finished examining the workers, we started leaving. When we were coming out of the building, the NIOH expert asked me why we did not include the patient who was seen earlier by him and declared as an asbestos victim. I was stunned. I immediately introduced Mangabhai to him and said, �sir, he is the same person whom you examined earlier at NIOH'. He thought for a while and then turned to the Chairperson and said, �Madame, there is some mistake. NIOH has already seen this patient earlier'. They then went back and made some changes in their records. Had this not happened, Mangabhai would have been declared as suffering from TB!
Recently, with the help of Kalyaneshwari, a Kolkata based NGO, we examined 94 workers from an asbestos cement company and 12 from the power plant. A local hospital was engaged for carrying out lung function tests, X-rays , blood, urine tests etc. A questionnaire was filled in. Later, the X-rays were sent to an eminent expert in Bombay who read the X-rays and gave his opinion. It was revealed that, 55 workers from the cement plant and 12 workers from power plant are suffering from asbestos related illness. 3 females, wives of the 3 workers, were also found to be suffering from asbestos related disease. They have never worked in any industry. They were exposed through the work clothes their husbands brought from work.
Ahmedabad is far ahead of other regions. It is a torchbearer as far as the campaign against asbestos is concerned. Way back in 1996, CERC took up the issue of asbestos exposure at the asbestos cement plant in Ahmedabad. When they became convinced that the local administration would not be able to secure workers safety, they took a petition to the Supreme Court of India. The Supreme Court passed an historical judgment on this petition, after 1 year in 1996.
I assure the august gathering here that OHSA is committed to obtaining a complete asbestos ban in India. I hope this conference will go a long way in achieving this goal and create an atmosphere for securing safer workplaces, workplaces free of asbestos.

White House launches Urban Affairs website
The White House launched the Office of Urban Affairs website including a blog and Innovations and Ideas page where US citizens can submit ideas and best practices. This is a follow up to the Urban Tour which included 9 city centers and the Inter-Agency working group on urban policy.
The OUA blog states that the launch of the website is to
This effort is an important addition to our ongoing conversation on the Future of America’s Cities and Metropolitan Areas. We have already met with many urban stakeholders, elected officials, and academics; and we’ve been around the country visiting places that are on the cutting edge of urban innovation. But today we are establishing a more direct relationship with you – the American people. You are the ones that are innovating every single day – you are the innovators. You tackle government bureaucracy with creativity and leadership; you overcome a slow economy with public-private partnerships; and you turn distressed neighborhoods around with determination, hope and, above all, hard work.
The President knows that government doesn’t have all the answers. He knows that the best solutions come from you in places like Auburn Gresham in Chicago, South Lake Union in Seattle, and the small city of Flagstaff, Arizona – just to name a few. We know there are many more out there and we want you to share them with us.
Submit your idea or best practice (US Citizens)

Macedonia Name Dispute May Threaten NATO Enlargement
Risto KarajkovSkopje, MacedoniaMarch 5, 2008
The disintegration of Yugoslavia, which began back in 1991, has so far produced seven successor states. The last one was Kosovo, which declared independence on Feb. 17.
Back in 2003, when the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was renamed into a State Union of Serbia and Montenegro (three years later, Montenegro went its separate way by holding a referendum on independence) the name Yugoslavia was erased from the map. Yugoslavia was effectively no more.
Actually, this is not entirely accurate. One of the successors to Tito's socialist federation—Macedonia—still keeps the memory of Yugoslavia alive.
Article Continues In 1993, due to Greek opposition to the use of the name Macedonia for the new Balkan republic, the United Nations accepted the new state into membership under a temporary name, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, or FYROM, (pronounced FIE-rum).
Fifteen years later, with the rest of Yugoslavia long forgotten, Macedonia is the last of its offspring to hold any reference to what once was. It is still a Yugoslav republic. It is the last of the Yugoslavs.
But it may not be for long.
The long -simmering name dispute between Greece and Macedonia has recently entered what seems to be a possible final phase.
In the early 1990's, the name dispute delayed Macedonia's entry into the United Nations. In 1994, Greece installed a complete embargo against its small northern neighbor, which lasted for 18 months and severely hurt the fragile economy of the fledgling state.
After having reached an agreement, with United Nations mediation, in late 1995, Greece lifted the embargo and the dispute decreased in intensity over the ensuing years. That is, until recently, when it exploded again.
Macedonia is expected to get an invitation to join NATO, together with two other countries from the Adriatic group, Albania and Croatia, at a forthcoming summit of the Alliance, in Bucharest in April.
Greece adamantly stated it would veto Macedonia's entry unless the name dispute was resolved first. This angers the United States, which has just led the way for recognition of Kosovo, and wants the NATO veil of security over the region, in case of possible turbulence ahead.
The dispute does not make Greece any friends in the European Union either. To most countries, which do not understand the obsession with history in the Balkans, the dispute over a name—one of a kind in international relations among states—is irrational. The European Parliament just passed a resolution calling upon Greece not to block Macedonia's international integration, as long it does it as FYROM.
The United States ambassador to Macedonia recently suggested to both countries that they "grow up."
Yet in both Greece and Macedonia, the name issue these days is (again) perceived as a matter of life or death.
Greece has always claimed that "Macedonia" is an exclusive part of its historic and cultural heritage, and that by using the name, Skopje is stealing its history and perhaps even displaying territorial pretensions.
Macedonia has always claimed that its ethnic Macedonian population has no other identity except the "Macedonian" one and subsequently no other name.
The last escalation, which actually began with the decision of the government in Athens to use its position as a NATO member to put an end to the name dispute, has in recent weeks set off a wave of nationalist hysteria in both Greece and Macedonia.
Recent protest for preservation of the name in the center of Macedonia's capital, Skopje, ended with an unsuccessful attempt by a group of nationalist thugs to attack the Greek Liaison Office. Luckily, the police were in place to prevent it.
Macedonian media reported a spat between Greek and Macedonian soldiers in Afghanistan. Reportedly, a Macedonian cook prepared a traditional "local" dish—a musaka (a baked dish with meat and various vegetables) and called it "Macedonian musaka." Greek soldiers refused to eat it, saying the musaka was a "traditional Greek dish," and protested to their superiors.
Whereas both countries are ready for some concessions, they do not go far enough and compromise seems elusive, even under strong American pressure to find a solution.
In principle, there is no reason why Macedonia could not enter NATO the same way it entered the United Nations and other international organizations, as a former Yugoslav republic, except that Greece will not allow it. The government in Athens hopes the time is right to apply pressure, from its position as a NATO member, and have the thing resolved favorably once and for all.
Greece says Macedonia threatens regional stability by refusing to compromise (that is, by refusing to do what Greece wants it to do). Macedonia says Greece is a security risk because it goes against NATO interests in the region.
Macedonia also insists the issue is essentially a bilateral one of no wider international importance. Greece claims otherwise. It says Macedonia cannot join NATO or the European Union before a solution to the name dispute has been found.
Over the past 16 years, some 120 countries—of which three are permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (Russia, China, and the United States)—have recognized Macedonia by its real name.
Elsewhere this may seem strange, but in the Balkans, identity, even that of baked dishes, is taken very seriously.
The same coffee that is called "Bosniak" in Bosnia is called "Serbian" in Serbia, and so on. But nobody calls it what it really is—"Turkish" coffee. The Turks, who owned everything in the Balkans for a few centuries, do not seem to have a problem with this.
Italians beware! Who gave you the right to call your fruit salad Macedonia?

For those who find themselves alone this Valentine's Day, or who reject the holiday altogether, you might not want to read about star-crossed lovers pining for each other and — even worse — winding up together in the end. So here are three alternatives to comfort you this Feb 14. Each novel is just the right length to read in a single night with a box of drugstore-bought chocolates. And although these tales are indeed reflections on love, the characters they follow are skeptics. Whether or not their heroes succeed romantically, they will make you embrace the idea of going at it alone on a day when we feel nothing but pressure to pair up.Copyright 2013 NPR.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day for many, a day of hearts and kisses, chocolates and cards. But author Alex Gilvarry sounds like he isn't exactly thrilled. If you're like him, he's got some reading material for you. It's for our series Three Books, in which authors recommend three books on one theme. ALEX GILVARRY: For those who find themselves alone this Valentine's Day, or who reject the holiday altogether, you might not want to read about star-crossed lovers pining for each other, and even worse, winding up together in the end. So here are three alternatives to comfort you this February 14th. And although these tales are indeed reflections on love, the characters they follow are skeptics. Whether or not their heroes succeed romantically, they will make you embrace the idea of going at it alone on a day when we feel nothing but pressure to pair up. "Ladies' Man" by Richard Price chronicles one week in the life of Kenny Becker, a young door-to-door salesman who throws away his stagnant, albeit loving, relationship with his amateur-singer girlfriend, La Donna. Kenny is the living, breathing definition of a sex addict, and when he banishes La Donna from his life, he is left to his own lascivious devices. It's a story of a lonely, depraved Valentine's week in New York City circa 1978. The reader follows Kenny as he moves through an underworld of cheap sex and empty feelings. For anyone familiar with Price's tough-talking, criminal-investigation novels, this earlier one will delight you with its rapid-fire one-liners and offbeat humor. "Cassandra at the Wedding" by Dorothy Baker is the tragicomic tale of Cassandra Edwards. She's a Berkeley grad student who returns to her family's California ranch to attend her twin sister's wedding. Cassandra is the type of heroine who may decide to stop at a roadside bar for vodka or make drunken calls from a pay phone. This classic weekend-wedding setup is a tipsy comedy of manners and rumination on love's ultimate unfairness. Cassandra sets out, intent on sabotaging her sister's marriage with sly insults and a fistful of pills. Because the sisterly bond Cassandra once had with Judith is now threatened, her world comes spiraling down, and we can't help but watch her fall. And it's her faults, her coy, everywoman on the verge of proper adulthood that will comfort you through the night. "Miss Lonelyhearts," Nathanael West's classic short novel is the story of a newspaper columnist - a man who receives letters of heartbreak from the city's desperate souls. He comforts them in his weekly column, offering not only advice about love, but solace and escape from their depressed and unfortunate lives. But Miss Lonelyhearts himself may be one of the most desperate, an unsatisfied man searching for meaning in what he sees as a morally bankrupt city. West's novel is also a brilliant period piece of Depression-era New York. Set in speakeasies and newsrooms, and its hero is one tainted by love's darker side - the affairs, the broken engagements - and its ultimate failure to bring about true happiness. So whatever your pleasure on this most Hallmark of holidays - the comedic sex-capades of an addict, the redemption of a California gal or a peek into love's dark past - I hope you find consolation in one of these truly memorable blue valentines.

hide Justice Scalia says has not expressed view on gay marriage
Wednesday, October 02, 2013 5:39 p.m. CDT
MEDFORD, Massachusetts (Reuters) - Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, one of four justices to dissent from a June decision by the court that struck down a portion of a federal law defining marriage as between a man and a woman, said on Thursday he has not given his views on the constitutionality of gay marriage itself.
"I haven't expressed my view about gay marriage," Scalia, a noted conservative said, adding that the decision itself only applied to a narrow piece of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act.
"The issue in the DOMA case was not whether the Constitution requires states to allow gay marriage. That was not the question at all," Scalia said at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, outside Boston. "The question is whether Congress can define marriage in all of the statues that Congress enacted to mean only marriage between a man and a woman."
In his dissenting opinion on that ruling, Scalia, who was appointed to the court by President Ronald Reagan in 1986, wrote that the majority ignored procedural obstacles he said should have prevented the court from taking up the matter in the first place.
Despite the DOMA ruling and another June ruling that knocked down a 2008 California state law that forbade same-sex unions, the Court has stood back from the gay-marriage debate, instead allowing it to play out state by state.
Currently 13 U.S. states, including much of the northeast, recognize same-sex unions. The issue is now being fought out in states, including New Jersey where a state court last week issued a ruling that would allow gay nuptials to begin on October 21, although an appeal is expected. In Pennsylvania, a county clerk has appealed a court decision ordering him to stop issuing marriage licenses to gay couples.
Scalia, who takes an "originalist" approach in his decisions, which means he tries to frame legal decisions by what the writers of the Constitution and subsequent amendments meant, allowed that it is possible the issue will find its way back to the court.
"I'm waiting for the second shoe to drop," said Scalia, the longest-serving member of the U.S. Supreme Court

hide Fans sue NFL, Cowboys over Super Bowl ticket snafu

By Ben Klayman
DETROIT (Reuters) - Angry football fans have sued the National Football League and the Dallas Cowboys, saying they were denied seats to Sunday's Super Bowl despite having paid thousands of dollars for tickets.
The lawsuit was filed after the league admitted to mistakes that left about 400 paying fans unable to watch Super Bowl XLV in person -- or able to see the field only on TV screens -- and other Cowboys' season ticket-holders watching from temporary metal chairs with obstructed views.
Fans filed the lawsuit late Tuesday in federal court in Dallas, accusing the league and team with breach of contract, fraud and deceptive trade practices.
They are seeking class-action status, more than $5 million of damages and unspecified punitive damages.
The NFL and the Cowboys declined to comment on the lawsuit. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is also a defendant in the case.
In Sunday's Super Bowl game, the Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 before more than 103,000 people at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The league Tuesday had invited the 400 affected fans who paid for tickets but did not get a seat at the game to a future Super Bowl of their choice.
It also offered the choice of a cash payment of $2,400 -- three times the face value of the ticket -- or round-trip airfare and a hotel. Many shut-out fans paid above face value for the tickets, according to the lawsuit.
"We are ultimately responsible for the fan experience and we want it to be the best it can possibly be," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement Tuesday.
The lawsuit contended that the NFL knew of seating problems before the game, but failed to tell fans in advance.
It also accused Jones of causing the problems with the hope of setting a Super Bowl attendance record. He fell short by 766, after some temporary seats were deemed unusable.
Many affected fans ended up watching the game in standing-only positions or places in a club area behind the Steelers bench where they could watch the game on TV monitors.
The lawsuit, filed by law firm Eagan Avenatti LLP, also accused Jones of deceiving Cowboys season ticket-holders known as "Founders" into paying $1,200 a seat for Super Bowl tickets, only to be offered temporary metal fold-out chairs, many with obstructed views of the field and the stadium's giant overhead video board.
These Founders, who paid more than $100 million for seat licenses to help fund construction of Cowboys Stadium, said the team had promised that their $100,000-and-higher licenses would entitle them to the "best sightlines" and the right to buy a Super Bowl ticket at face value, according to the lawsuit.
"Frankly, it is astounding to us that the Cowboys and the NFL would treat its fans like this," lead attorney Michael Avenatti said in a telephone interview. "What is perhaps even more amazing is that they still haven't done the right thing."
The NFL needs to fully compensate the distressed fans for their out-of-pocket expenses, he added.
The case is Simms et al v. Jones et al, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas, No. 11-00248.

Japan pulls back on denials of WWII sex slavery
FILE - In this Friday, March 1, 2013 file photo, a South Korean protester playing the role of Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe kneels down on a Japanese flag during a rally demanding full compensation and apology for wartime sex slaves from Japanese government and criticizing the Japanese government's recent claim over the disputed islets called Dokdo in South Korea and Takeshima in Japan, in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, South Korea. Japan has acknowledged that it conducted only a limited investigation before claiming there was no official evidence that its imperial troops coerced Asian women into sexual slavery before and during World War II. A parliamentary statement signed Tuesday, May 7 by Abe acknowledged a document produced by a postwar international military tribunal containing a Japanese soldier's testimony about abducting Chinese women as military sex slaves.

TOKYO (AP) -- Japan has acknowledged that it conducted only a limited investigation before claiming there was no official evidence that its imperial troops coerced Asian women into sexual slavery before and during World War II.A parliamentary statement signed Tuesday by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe acknowledged the government had a set of documents produced by a postwar international military tribunal containing testimony by Japanese soldiers about abducting Chinese women as military sex slaves. That evidence apparently was not included in Japan's only investigation of the issue, in 1991-1993.Tuesday's parliamentary statement also said documents showing forcible sex slavery may still exist. The statement did not say whether the government plans to consider the documents as evidence showing that troops had coerced women into sexual slavery.Over the past two days, top officials of Abe's conservative government have appeared to soften their stance on Japan's past apologies to neighboring countries for wartime atrocities committed by the Imperial Army, saying Japan does not plan to revise them.The backtracking appears intended to allay criticisms of Abe's earlier vows to revise the apologies, including an acknowledgment of sexual slavery during the war, and calm tensions with neighbors South Korea and China. The U.S. government also has raised concerns about Abe's nationalist agenda.Abe has acknowledged so-called "comfort women" existed but denied they were coerced into prostitution, citing a lack of official evidence. He also has repeatedly vowed to reassess apologies by past Japanese administrations.The parliamentary statement, released Tuesday and seen by the Associated Press on Wednesday, was in response to an official inquiry last month to the upper house of Parliament by opposition lawmaker Tomoko Kami, who said the government's investigation into sex slavery was "insufficient" and documents it claimed to have collected were incomplete.Kami, of the Japan Communist Party, also asked whether the government had ever updated its archives to reflect more recent findings than the earlier investigation. The answer was no.The statement acknowledged documents produced by the 1946-1948 International Military Tribunal for the Far East, held in Tokyo, but said they were not in the Cabinet Secretariat's archives. It did not say when the documents were found or whether they are reflected in any official statements about sexual slavery.Abe also has criticized the tribunal's decisions as "condemnation by the allied victors' judgment," but has said he's in no position to object to the rulings Japan had already accepted.The parliamentary statement described the 1993 findings as "the result of an all-out and sincere investigation" that brought "closure." But it said the government is open to updates if new findings are valid."Due to the nature of the issue, there is a possibility that previously unavailable documents may be discovered. In such a case, we are asking related ministries and offices to report to the Cabinet," it said.The documents quote testimony from Japanese soldiers saying they recruited women by posting advertisements for factory workers and "threatened them and used them as prostitutes for the bestial lust of the troops."One army lieutenant testified that he helped set up a brothel for soldiers including himself, forcing five women in the city of Guilin in southern China to work as prostitutes for eight months.Meanwhile, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Wednesday that Japan recognizes the harm it caused during its invasion and occupation of much of Asia, and that it has repeatedly and clearly stated that position."The Abe government has expressed sincere condolences to all victims of the war, in and out of the country, and there is no change in that," Suga said in response to a question about a comment by South Korean President Park Geun-hye, published in The Washington Post this week, asserting that Japan should correct its view of its wartime history.Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida echoed Suga's remarks."The Japanese government has accepted the facts of history in a spirit of humility, expressed once again our feelings of deep remorse and our heartfelt apology, and expressed our feelings of profound mourning for all victims, both at home and abroad," he told reporters. "And Prime Minister Abe shares the same view."China and South Korea have reacted harshly to recent nationalistic events and remarks, including visits by several Japanese government ministers and nearly 170 lawmakers to Tokyo's Yasukuni Shrine, which memorializes 2.3 million war dead, including 14 wartime leaders convicted of war crimes. Rancor over territorial disputes has further strained relations between Japan and its neighbors.Only in the past two decades has Japan acknowledged some of its past brutalities, including medical atrocities and use of poison gas, as well as sexual slavery -- a legacy that still haunts Tokyo's relations with its neighbors.Before he took office in December, Abe had advocated revising a 1993 statement by then-Prime Minister Yohei Kono expressing remorse for the suffering caused to the sexual slaves of Japanese troops.___Associated Press writer Elaine Kurtenbach contributed to this report. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5593 | {"url": "http://wtop.com/220/3314343/Japan-pulls-back-on-denials-of-WWII-sex-slavery", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "wtop.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:30:16Z", "digest": "sha1:LWZZ4MSBWUTC6CLRE3CP6HI3RZ26IZQ5"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 6276, 6276.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 6276, 9939.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 6276, 3.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 6276, 201.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 6276, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 6276, 273.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 6276, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 6276, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 6276, 13.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 6276, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 6276, 0.37734166]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 6276, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 6276, 0.06865959]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 6276, 0.10800386]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 6276, 0.10800386]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 6276, 0.10800386]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 6276, 0.10800386]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 6276, 0.06865959]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 6276, 0.00675024]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 6276, 0.00867888]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 6276, 0.00848602]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 6276, 0.01159679]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 6276, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 6276, 0.12042819]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 6276, 0.44747899]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 6276, 5.44642857]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 6276, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 6276, 5.46916896]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 6276, 952.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 985, 0.0], [985, 6276, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 985, 0.0], [985, 6276, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 48, 9.0], [48, 985, 144.0], [985, 6276, 799.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 985, 0.00654308], [985, 6276, 0.00599613]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 985, 0.0], [985, 6276, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 48, 0.10416667], [48, 985, 0.06189968], [985, 6276, 0.02532603]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 6276, 0.99358684]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 6276, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 6276, 0.98269492]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 6276, -22.47758872]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 6276, 181.31652628]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 6276, 156.43335729]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 6276, 38.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |
Volcano doctors check the pulse of Mexico's 'Popo'

MEXICO CITY (AP) -- In a clean, hushed room in the south of Mexico City, cameras, computer screens and scrawling needles track the symptoms of a special patient, as they have every second of every day for the past two decades. The monitors indicate that "Don Goyo" is breathing normally, even as he spews hot rock, steam and ash.That kind of activity isn't unusual for the 17,886-foot (5,450-meter) volcano, Mexico's second-highest, whose formal name is Popocatepetl, or "Smoking Mountain" in the Aztec language Nahuatl. But this volcano, personified first as a warrior in Aztec legend and now as an old man grumbling with discontent, is in the middle of two metro areas, where his every spurt can put 20 million people on edge.Mexico's National Disaster Prevention Center laboratory keeps a round-the-clock watch on Popocatepetl, with anywhere from six to 15 technicians analyzing data for signs of a full-scale eruption, which they can never fully anticipate.Though lava or glowing rock would only travel so far, an explosion could be deadly for 11,000 people in three farming villages within 10 miles (16 kilometers) of the base because of landslides and hot gas. A spectacular plume of ash could also wreak havoc on one of the world's largest metro areas, much as it did in 2003, when the sky over Mexico City more than 40 miles (65 kilometers) away nearly went dark in the middle of the afternoon. The neighboring city of Puebla on the other side of the volcano from the capital would also be clouded over."The volcano is like a patient, and we observe the different aspects," said the center's technical director Gilberto Castelan. "Here we receive over 60 indicators in real time."The 20-by-30-foot (6-by-9-meter) laboratory resembles those that once housed old giant supercomputers, everything plain white with a server at one end and screens all around. Five remote-controlled cameras positioned on the side of the mountain emit real-time images, while sensors feed data to the constantly scrolling seismographs as the crew and volcanologists analyze the concentration of gases and changes in the shape of the mountain. The loudest laboratory sound is a regular ping that alerts technicians to every seismic shift, at least a half dozen an hour.The data helps set the "volcano stoplight," a three-color system in which green means little activity, yellow means warning and red starts the evacuation process -- something that has occurred only twice since 1994, when the volcano awoke again after sitting dormant for seven decades."It's one of the most advanced laboratories of its kind in the world, and the scientists in charge are using the best methods," said Michael Sheridan, a volcanologist at the University of Buffalo in New York who has studied Popocatepetl. "It is very difficult to predict the behavior of a volcano that has not had an eruption in recent history."Earlier this month, Popocatepetl released ash that grounded plane flights and dusted cars, but it quieted down enough last week for the warning to drop from yellow-3 to yellow-2. The Mexican government has designated evacuation routes and shelter locations in the case of a bigger explosion.Popocatepetl, nicknamed Popo or Don Goyo, is a stratovolcano, a steep conical formation built from layers of thick, slow-moving lava and ash -- the same type as Mount St. Helens in Washington state, scene of a 1980 eruption that was the most deadly in the U.S., killing 57 people.Mexico's disaster prevention center says Popo has been active for at least 500,000 years and has had at least three eruptions as large as Mount St. Helens, the most recent 23,000 years ago. Unlike Hawaiian volcanos and their rivers of lava, the biggest dangers for those nearby are mudslides and swift-moving clouds of gas. For those farther away, it's the ash, which can ruin motors, stall airplanes, cover roofs with material heavy enough to make buildings collapse and cause respiratory diseases."Considering the number of people who would be affected, it could be considered among the most dangerous volcanos in the world," said Ramon Espinasa, director of geological hazards for the disaster prevention center.According to Mexican legend, Popocatepetl was a warrior who sought the hand of Iztaccihuatl, a fair maiden whose reluctant father told her that her suitor had died in battle. The "Romeo and Juliet"-style tale ends with the lovers turning into twin mountains east of Mexico City. The dormant peak of Iztaccihuatl has since become part of a national park, while access to Popocatepetl is closed off. 1 2 - Next page >> Comment | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5594 | {"url": "http://wtop.com/220/3406522/Volcano-doctors-check-the-pulse-of-Mexicos-Popo", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "wtop.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:49:09Z", "digest": "sha1:NSXXYJLICXMB54RPLD3U3WJZIR7O2PZG"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 5132, 5132.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 5132, 8649.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 5132, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 5132, 200.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 5132, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 5132, 257.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 5132, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 5132, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 5132, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 5132, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 5132, 0.37741313]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 5132, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 5132, 0.09924958]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 5132, 0.11958364]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 5132, 0.09924958]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 5132, 0.09924958]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 5132, 0.09924958]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 5132, 0.09924958]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 5132, 0.01089325]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 5132, 0.01742919]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 5132, 0.01549262]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 5132, 0.01061776]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 5132, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 5132, 0.18532819]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 5132, 0.52720677]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 5132, 4.99516324]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 5132, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 5132, 5.51211689]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 5132, 827.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 82, 0.0], [82, 538, 0.0], [538, 5132, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 82, 0.0], [82, 538, 0.0], [538, 5132, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 51, 8.0], [51, 82, 4.0], [82, 538, 72.0], [538, 5132, 743.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 82, 0.375], [82, 538, 0.01357466], [538, 5132, 0.01418599]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 82, 0.0], [82, 538, 0.0], [538, 5132, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 51, 0.05882353], [51, 82, 0.09677419], [82, 538, 0.08114035], [538, 5132, 0.02067915]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 5132, 0.95570064]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 5132, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 5132, 0.89325589]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 5132, -52.16930837]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 5132, 101.34805041]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 5132, 87.22636829]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 5132, 35.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |
Murdock to keep house, rare orchids in island sale Thursday - 8/2/2012, 7:44pm ET
By JENNIFER SINCO KELLEHER Associated Press
HONOLULU (AP) - David Murdock has sold his Hawaiian island, but he's keeping his seven-bedroom Lanai home, a woodworking shop containing koa furniture, two carved elephant tusks in a resort lobby, and 1,000 rare orchid plants.
The billionaire is holding on to those assets and others, while selling most of Lanai to Oracle Corp. CEO Larry Ellison.
It was already known that Murdock would be retaining rights to a controversial wind project, but a redacted version of the sale agreement was submitted to the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission this week, and it outlines what assets the two billionaires agreed that Murdock would retain.
Lawyers for Murdock's Castle & Cooke Inc. said redactions were necessary to protect business interests. The price Ellison paid for 98 percent of the island's 141 square miles has not been revealed, though the Maui News previously reported the asking price was $500 million to $600 million. Maui County records show the assessed value for all of Lanai's land is $635.4 million.
The latest filing is related to the utilities commission's ongoing review on permanent approval to transfer three utilities. Interim approval was granted in June, allowing the sale to proceed.
Murdock's seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom, 44,921-square-foot private residence on Kipihaa Place has an assessed value of $6,192,000, according to Maui County property records. Some of the other assets he will keep include a lot across the street from the home, assorted apartments, two carved wood Balinese sculptures in a resort lobby and Richard's grocery store.
Richard's is one of three markets in town, and now the only employees who work for Murdock are those who work in Richard's, said Robin Kaye, spokesman for Friends of Lanai, which formed to oppose Murdock's wind farm that would deliver power to Oahu through an undersea cable.
"There are many people who won't shop in Richard's because it's Murdock's," he said Thursday. It's a small, yet crucial part of the island because it's a major source of food and sundries, he said.
Under Murdock's ownership, the lobbies of the two resorts were furnished like Asian art museums, Kaye said, but those pieces have recently been removed and some are hopeful they'll be replaced with decor that's more reflective of Hawaii.
"You're not going to come here because it's Maui or Waikiki, you're going to come here because it's Lanai," Kaye said. "We're hopeful it'll be sensitive to the beauty and Hawaiian-ness of the island. It's quite an aesthetic change."
Meanwhile, Ellison's senior-level employees have been in town every couple of days and have been talking with the community _ a hopeful sign of what life will be like under Ellison's ownership, Kaye said.
A spokeswoman for Redwood City, Calif.-based Oracle declined to comment Thursday. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5595 | {"url": "http://wtop.com/256/2912339/Hawaii-Gov-Oracles-Ellison-to-buy-most-of-Lanai", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "wtop.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:24:23Z", "digest": "sha1:T3X6O3PWOMBD6GWX34P5GWEIVFU42UJQ"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2927, 2927.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2927, 5748.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2927, 14.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2927, 190.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2927, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2927, 294.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2927, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2927, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2927, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2927, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2927, 0.38647343]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2927, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2927, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2927, 0.03585147]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2927, 0.02134016]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2927, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2927, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2927, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2927, 0.0128041]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2927, 0.00768246]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2927, 0.01195049]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2927, 0.01288245]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2927, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2927, 0.20289855]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2927, 0.56196581]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2927, 5.00641026]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2927, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2927, 5.21031341]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2927, 468.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 82, 0.0], [82, 126, 0.0], [126, 353, 1.0], [353, 474, 1.0], [474, 762, 1.0], [762, 1139, 1.0], [1139, 1332, 1.0], [1332, 1696, 1.0], [1696, 1972, 1.0], [1972, 2170, 1.0], [2170, 2408, 1.0], [2408, 2641, 0.0], [2641, 2846, 1.0], [2846, 2927, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 82, 0.0], [82, 126, 0.0], [126, 353, 0.0], [353, 474, 0.0], [474, 762, 0.0], [762, 1139, 0.0], [1139, 1332, 0.0], [1332, 1696, 0.0], [1696, 1972, 0.0], [1972, 2170, 0.0], [2170, 2408, 0.0], [2408, 2641, 0.0], [2641, 2846, 0.0], [2846, 2927, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 82, 13.0], [82, 126, 6.0], [126, 353, 35.0], [353, 474, 21.0], [474, 762, 46.0], [762, 1139, 61.0], [1139, 1332, 29.0], [1332, 1696, 53.0], [1696, 1972, 48.0], [1972, 2170, 35.0], [2170, 2408, 38.0], [2408, 2641, 39.0], [2641, 2846, 33.0], [2846, 2927, 11.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 82, 0.12162162], [82, 126, 0.0], [126, 353, 0.01869159], [353, 474, 0.0], [474, 762, 0.0], [762, 1139, 0.04143646], [1139, 1332, 0.0], [1332, 1696, 0.03468208], [1696, 1972, 0.0], [1972, 2170, 0.0], [2170, 2408, 0.0], [2408, 2641, 0.0], [2641, 2846, 0.0], [2846, 2927, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 82, 0.0], [82, 126, 0.0], [126, 353, 0.0], [353, 474, 0.0], [474, 762, 0.0], [762, 1139, 0.0], [1139, 1332, 0.0], [1332, 1696, 0.0], [1696, 1972, 0.0], [1972, 2170, 0.0], [2170, 2408, 0.0], [2408, 2641, 0.0], [2641, 2846, 0.0], [2846, 2927, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 82, 0.04878049], [82, 126, 0.54545455], [126, 353, 0.06167401], [353, 474, 0.07438017], [474, 762, 0.02430556], [762, 1139, 0.03183024], [1139, 1332, 0.01554404], [1332, 1696, 0.02197802], [1696, 1972, 0.0326087], [1972, 2170, 0.02525253], [2170, 2408, 0.0210084], [2408, 2641, 0.03433476], [2641, 2846, 0.0195122], [2846, 2927, 0.07407407]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2927, 0.70079249]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2927, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2927, 0.99317908]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2927, -51.88212644]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2927, 59.47786358]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2927, -11.40525993]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2927, 23.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |

Proposed Medicare drug change stirs access worries
RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a move that some fear could compromise care for Medicare recipients, the Obama administration is proposing to remove special protections that guarantee seniors access to a wide selection of three types of drugs.The three classes of drugs -- widely used antidepressants, antipsychotics and drugs that suppress the immune system to prevent the rejection of a transplanted organ -- have enjoyed special "protected" status since the launch of the Medicare prescription benefit in 2006.That has meant that the private insurance plans that deliver prescription benefits to seniors and disabled beneficiaries must cover "all or substantially all" medications in the class, allowing the broadest possible access. The plans can charge more for costlier drugs, but they can't just close their lists of approved drugs, or formularies, to protected medications.In a proposal published Friday in the Federal Register, the administration called for removing protected status from antidepressants, antipsychotics, and immunosuppressant drugs. The proposal said that status it is no longer needed to guarantee access, would save millions of dollars for taxpayers and beneficiaries alike, and could help deal with the problem of improperly prescribed antipsychotics drugs in nursing homes.But advocates for patients are strongly criticizing the idea, saying it could potentially limit access to critically needed medications for millions of people."We are disturbed by this," said Andrew Sperling, legislative advocacy director for the National Alliance on Mental Illness. "This is a key protection. It's a cornerstone of what has made the benefit work for people with mental illness."Sperling said that patients with mental health issues often have to try a variety of drugs before they find the right one for their condition. He questioned whether the change would help crack down on the problem of improperly prescribed antipsychotics, saying it amounted to a blunt instrument.The National Kidney Foundation also voiced worries. Legislative policy director Tonya Saffer said transplant patients often depend on combinations of medication, so having the broadest possible choice is crucial."Covering all immunosuppressant drugs is very important for the patient and very important to protect the transplanted organ from rejection," Saffer said.The proposal could lead to "patients having to go through multiple channels to try and get a drug," which would put patients at risk, she added.In the proposal, the administration said the new policy was developed after careful consultation with a broad range of experts. The three other types of drugs that have protected status -- for cancer, HIV/AIDS and preventing seizures -- would remain protected. If adopted in the coming months, the new policy could take effect as early as 2015.The administration estimates it could save the taxpayers a total of $720 million by 2019. Beneficiaries may also be able to save. That's because the drug plans can drive a harder bargain for manufacturer discounts when a drug is not protected."The circumstances that existed when this policy was originally implemented have changed dramatically in the more than seven years the program has been in operation," the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said in its proposal."We are concerned that requiring essentially open coverage of certain classes and categories of drugs presents both financial disadvantages and patient welfare concerns ... as a result of increased drug prices and overutilization," the proposal added.A leading industry analyst said the proposal would represent a significant change for Medicare's prescription benefit, which is highly popular with beneficiaries."It is a weakening of a patient protection," said Dan Mendelson, CEO of Avalare Health, a market analysis firm."I'm not sure that Medicare saves money from this kind of a change," he added. "Other elements of the program may have a cost increase if people are not using medications in the right way." | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5597 | {"url": "http://wtop.com/628/3539664/Proposed-Medicare-drug-change-stirs-access-worries", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "wtop.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:48:02Z", "digest": "sha1:SB3B6LIX37TP6277HHV3ZIXGVRVYHYFI"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4105, 4105.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4105, 8021.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4105, 3.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4105, 205.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4105, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4105, 316.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4105, 0.4027972]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4105, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4105, 0.0271707]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4105, 0.0271707]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4105, 0.00738334]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4105, 0.01890136]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4105, 0.01299468]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4105, 0.01398601]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4105, 0.11748252]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4105, 0.50490196]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4105, 5.53267974]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4105, 0.0013986]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4105, 5.23139619]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4105, 612.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 75, 0.0], [75, 4105, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 75, 0.0], [75, 4105, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 51, 7.0], [51, 75, 2.0], [75, 4105, 603.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 75, 0.0], [75, 4105, 0.0038236]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 75, 0.0], [75, 4105, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 51, 0.03921569], [51, 75, 0.875], [75, 4105, 0.01935484]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4105, 0.85014403]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4105, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4105, 0.6982969]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4105, -5.7274038]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4105, 99.73865702]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4105, -38.35322977]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4105, 29.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |
hide New Legislation To Ban Synthetic Drugs
Wednesday, September 26, 2012 7:07 a.m. EDT
by Ken Delaney
Synthetic drugs LANSING, MI (WTVB) - West Michigan lawmaker John Proos has some positive words for a new state law that makes it easier to ban new synthetic drugs. A new one has surfaced called “Smiles” and while it hasn’t arrived in Michigan yet, it may be just a matter of time.
Under the recently enacted legislation, the Department of Community Health and the Board of Pharmacy could immediately file emergency rules to ban supposedly dangerous designer drugs by listing them as controlled substances when such things pop up. State Senator Proos says that this expanded power works to protect the public health:
Under the old rules, it was harder for law enforcement to keep up when new designed drugs appeared on the market. If you see a store selling a new synthetic drug that might be illegal, you can go to michigan.gov/designerdrugs to find out more about your reporting options. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5598 | {"url": "http://wtvbam.com/news/articles/2012/sep/26/new-legislation-to-ban-synthetic-drugs/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "wtvbam.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:24:10Z", "digest": "sha1:JCZG6Y3OWJELIW6RQ2Y6ZJDXLCEJET7I"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 991, 991.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 991, 2747.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 991, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 991, 101.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 991, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 991, 336.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 991, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 991, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 991, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 991, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 991, 0.38265306]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 991, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 991, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 991, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 991, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 991, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 991, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 991, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 991, 0.01867995]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 991, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 991, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 991, 0.0255102]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 991, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 991, 0.14285714]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 991, 0.68862275]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 991, 4.80838323]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 991, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 991, 4.55287142]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 991, 167.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 44, 0.0], [44, 88, 0.0], [88, 103, 0.0], [103, 384, 1.0], [384, 719, 0.0], [719, 991, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 44, 0.0], [44, 88, 0.0], [88, 103, 0.0], [103, 384, 0.0], [384, 719, 0.0], [719, 991, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 44, 7.0], [44, 88, 7.0], [88, 103, 3.0], [103, 384, 51.0], [384, 719, 51.0], [719, 991, 48.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 44, 0.0], [44, 88, 0.23684211], [88, 103, 0.0], [103, 384, 0.0], [384, 719, 0.0], [719, 991, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 44, 0.0], [44, 88, 0.0], [88, 103, 0.0], [103, 384, 0.0], [384, 719, 0.0], [719, 991, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 44, 0.13636364], [44, 88, 0.11363636], [88, 103, 0.13333333], [103, 384, 0.0747331], [384, 719, 0.02686567], [719, 991, 0.00735294]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 991, 0.68780226]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 991, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 991, 0.20230401]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 991, -55.14017801]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 991, 8.96847584]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 991, -49.47591026]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 991, 8.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |
hide "Endless Love" leads Billboard's top love songs
Wednesday, February 13, 2013 4:04 p.m. EST
By Noreen O'Donnell
NEW YORK (Reuters) - When it comes to love, sometimes old songs say it best.
The 1981 Motown ballad "Endless Love" by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie topped Billboard magazine's "Top 50 'Love' Songs of All Time" list on Wednesday, just in time for Valentine's Day.
The duet, written by Richie and used as the theme song for Franco Zeffirelli's film of the same name, earned Richie an Academy Award nomination for best original song.
The list is based on the rankings on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart from its start in 1958 until today. As might be expected, every song has the word "love" in the title.
Boyz II Men's 1994 hit "I'll Make Love to You," 2011 pop dance track "We Found Love" by Rihanna and Calvin Harris, 1977's "How Deep Is Your Love," from the Bee Gees and 1976's "Silly Love Songs" by Wings round out the top five.
The oldest song dates from 1958, "To Know Him Is to Love Him" by The Teddy Bears. Rihanna's "We Found Love" is the most recent entry on the list.
Whitney Houston's 1992 version of "I Will Always Love You," Mario's 2004 "Let Me Love You," 1990's "Because I Love You (The Postman Song)" by Stevie B., 1977's "Best of My Love" from The Emotions and the Ray Charles 1962 classic "I Can't Stop Loving You," complete the top 10.
This is the fourth year that Billboard has issued a list for Valentine's Day, although in 2011 its "Love Stinks" compilation took the opposite approach with the 30 biggest heartbreak hits.
Two real-life couples appear this year, Captain & Tennille with 1975's "Love Will Keep Us Together" and Jay-Z and Beyonce with 2003's "Crazy in Love."
Diana Ross, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey have three entries each on the list, along with Paul McCartney with The Beatles and his own band Wings, for "Silly Love Songs," 1973's "My Love" and "She Loves You" from 1963.

hide Ohio executes man convicted of killing in crime spree
Wednesday, March 06, 2013 6:37 a.m. EST
By Kim Palmer
CLEVELAND (Reuters) - Ohio on Wednesday executed a man who was convicted of killing a security guard and wounding a cashier at an adult book store east of Cleveland in 1994 during a week-long multistate crime spree, the state corrections department said.
Frederick Treesh, 48, was put to death by lethal injection at the Ohio state prison in Lucasville, the Ohio Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said. He was pronounced dead at 10:37 a.m. EST (1537 GMT).
He was the first inmate executed in Ohio this year and the fourth person executed in the United States in 2013, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.
Treesh was convicted of shooting security guard Henry Dupree four times with a 9mm handgun, killing him, and shooting cashier Louis Lauver twice in the head during a robbery at the Vine Street News store to get cash to buy crack cocaine.
Treesh then fired on police as he and an accomplice, Benjamin Brooks, fled the store. They were arrested after Treesh ran out of ammunition. Treesh was convicted of aggravated murder, attempted murder and felonious assault.
Brooks was sentenced to 40 years to life.
Prosecutors said Treesh's arrest ended a week-long, multi-state crime spree that included the murder of Gus Danno at a video store in Michigan, bank robberies, carjackings and a kidnapping.
Michigan authorities opted not to charge Treesh with Danno's murder after he was sentenced to death in Ohio. Relatives of Danno's were among the witnesses to Treesh's execution.
"I'm not here to say I'm sorry to any of these victims that are here. I've never been tried, never been charged with that crime," Treesh said in a final statement referring to Danno's relatives released by the corrections department.
"I am here for Henry Dupree," the statement continued. "I'd like to apologize to the family for what I've done. I'm sorry."
During the crime spree, Treesh inserted light bulbs in his victims' mouths, wrapped their faces in duct tape and then punched them in the face to shatter the bulbs, prosecutors said.
At trial, prosecutors presented a videotaped interrogation in which Treesh said he had been involved in several other murders, including the lynching of a black man. Defense attorneys said those crimes were unsubstantiated "tall tales."
The Ohio Parole Board voted unanimously against recommending clemency for Treesh, who declined to be interviewed. Republican Governor John Kasich rejected Treesh's clemency bid last week.

Weary air travelers to get a break from furloughs
Posted on: 10:58 am, April 26, 2013, by Web Staff, updated on: 10:59am, April 26, 2013 Share this:FacebookTwitterGooglePinterestLinkedInEmail By Jennifer Liberto and Mike Ahlers
WASHINGTON (CNNMoney) — A fast-track move by Congress to put air traffic controllers back on the job can’t come soon enough for travelers facing Friday morning delays.
It’s a lightning-fast response for Congress. Since Sunday, furloughs of air traffic controllers have delayed more than 3,000 flights, thanks to spending cuts Congress imposed.
On Friday, the House was expected to pass a bill giving the Federal Aviation Administration more power to move $253 million around to stop furloughs of some 15,000 air traffic controllers, as well as other FAA staffers.
President Obama is expected to sign the bill, which sailed through the Senate Thursday night.
The FAA expects to be able to tell controllers to go back to work as soon as possible, although details had yet to be worked out as of Friday morning, according to a source who wasn’t authorized to talk about plans.
While Friday is normally one of the busiest travel days, the air space in the New York area was especially clogged, in part because fewer controllers reported for duty.
Flights leaving Newark Liberty International Airport were delayed up to 90 minutes. Tampa-bound passengers stuck on LaGuardia Airport’s tarmac were told that controller staffing shortages had delayed their flight by 45 minutes.
“Until the furloughs are ended, delays are going to continue unfortunately because we do not have full staffing in our facilities,” said Doug Church, spokesman for the National Air Traffic Controllers Association.
Forced spending cuts have led the Federal Aviation Administration to bench about 1,500 controllers from the job each day. Starting last Sunday, several busy airport towers in the New York area, Los Angeles and Chicago have had to space out flight landings, causing delays that ranged between 15 minutes and two hours.
The FAA has said it had no choice. The agency had to cut $600 million from its spending by September, and was planning to achieve that goal by forcing all 47,000 FAA workers to take 11 furlough days, or one day per pay period, through Sept. 30.
Its part of the $85 billion in automatic, across-the-board forced spending cuts that went into effect on March 1.
Air traffic controllers weren’t the only workers being forced to take unpaid time off. Furloughs also kicked in Sunday for the Environmental Protection Agency and the Office of Management and Budget, joining federal public defenders and Department of Labor employees.
If the bill sparing controllers becomes law, FAA employees would join an elite group of federal workers that includes federal meat and poultry inspectors, who were kept on the job thanks in part to lobbying by industries that depend on them.
“Airlines for America commends the Senate for passing the measure to end air traffic controller furloughs,” said Victoria Day, a spokeswoman for the trade group for airlines, which had also filed a lawsuit trying to block the furloughs last week.
The bill allows the FAA to dip into a pot of money for airport improvements to stop furloughs.
One area still unclear is whether the FAA will use some of its new powers to restore funding to control towers for regional airports now scheduled to close June 15.
The FAA earlier this year announced it would close 149 contract towers, which operate at small- to medium-size airports, to meet its sequester-related cuts.
J. Spencer Dickerson, head of an association that represents the towers, said his group hopes the FAA will reverse its decision on the closures.
The original $253 million bill, by Sen. Susan Collins, Maine Republican, is earmarked with $220 million to end the controller furlough and $25 million to allow contract towers to remain open.
But the bill approved by the Senate removed references to the furlough or contract towers, leaving it up to the FAA to decide how to apply funds, he said.
“You can make a pretty good argument that the money is there (to keep contract towers open) if the FAA would choose to do so,” Dickerson said. “It’s not explicit. We would like to have seen it explicit, but the money is there.”

Originally published on Wed March 14, 2012 2:25 pm By Mark Memmott Chris Hondros
Greg Smith is a fairly ordinary name — but it's now one that's all the talk of Wall Street after he quit his position at Goldman Sachs today in one of the most amazingly public ways: With an essay in The New York Times that accuses Goldman Sachs of having a money-is-everything culture that is "toxic and destructive." "How did we get here?" writes Smith, who the Times identifies as having been an executive director at Goldman Sachs and head of the firm's United States equity derivatives business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. "The firm changed the way it thought about leadership. Leadership used to be about ideas, setting an example and doing the right thing. Today, if you make enough money for the firm (and are not currently an ax murderer) you will be promoted into a position of influence." It is, as Jacob Goldstein puts it over at Planet Money, a "scathing op-ed." New York University journalism guru Jay Rosen calls it "absolutely devastating." "Greg Smith" is, not suprisingly, trending on Twitter. Now comes the inevitable blow back. "A person familiar with the matter," which probably means someone at Goldman Sachs or who was with the firm recently, tells The Wall Street Journal's Deal Journal blog that "Mr. Smith's role [was] actually vice president, a relatively junior position held by thousands of Goldman employees around the world. And Mr. Smith [was] the only employee in the derivatives business that he head[ed], this person said." The company also, as Jacob reported earlier, said Smith's views do not "reflect the way we run our business." Goldman Sachs does have to worry about what Smith wrote, of course, as Time magazine's Wall Street & Markets blog says. After all, the firm has been accused by members of Congress of being "a greedy, rapacious Wall Street predator that puts its own interests ahead of its clients," and now Smith's charges "will only fan the flames of popular anger at Goldman" and might set off "a client exodus." Smith also, for sure, has some questions to answer: Why quit now? He'd been with the firm 12 years; why did he stay? Meanwhile, his flaming missive enters the hall of fame of "take this job and shove it" moments. And, he's inspired a growing number of "Why I Am Leaving" parodies today — perhaps most amusingly one from "Darth Vadar" at The Daily Mash about "Why I Am Leaving The Empire." ("Get the culture right again," he writes, "so people want to make millions of voices cry out in terror before being suddenly silenced.") Update at 2:25 p.m. ET. Blankfein And Cohn Tell Employees It's "Unfortunate ... An Individual Opinion" Was Amplified. Deal Journal, Reuters and some other news outlets have posted what they say is a letter sent to Goldman Sachs employees today by CEO Lloyd Blankfein and COO Gary Cohn. In it, they say: "In a company of our size, it is not shocking that some people could feel disgruntled. But that does not and should not represent our firm of more than 30,000 people. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. But, it is unfortunate that an individual opinion about Goldman Sachs is amplified in a newspaper and speaks louder than the regular, detailed and intensive feedback you have provided the firm and independent, public surveys of workplace environments." They also repeat that the things Smith asserted, "do not reflect our values, our culture and how the vast majority of people at Goldman Sachs think about the firm and the work it does on behalf of our clients."Copyright 2013 NPR.

Top VIEWPOINT: Why We Need to Support Collaboration in the Coral Triangle with Ratification
| By: Dr. Lida Pet-Soede, WWF Coral Triangle Programme Leader Last month, the Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries, and Food Security (CTI-CFF)—the government-led initiative of the six countries in the Coral Triangle—held its 2nd Regional Priorities Workshop in Manado, Indonesia to identify the next set of regional priority actions for the period covering 2013 to 2016.
The status and progress of the nine priorities that were identified in the past years were presented, and new priorities were added from the CTI-CFF Regional Plan of Action, building on recent achievements and reflecting on opportunities for collaborative, multi-country, and transboundary efforts with support from the development partners.
The CTI-CFF development partners currently include the US and Australian governments, the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Global Environment Facility (GEF), and the three NGOs that support the implementation of regional and transboundary strategies—Conservation International (CI), The Nature Conservancy (TNC), and WWF. This year, several other very capable potential new partners are entering the mix. This is a great and much needed development to help implement the updated list that now contains 22 regional priorities.
I regarded this workshop as one of the best collegial, constructive, and solutions-oriented workshops I have been to in a long time. What made it all the more significant was how the Coral Triangle country delegates all felt part of bringing about positive change in the region either by openly collaborating where required, or taking individual responsibility to lead the facilitation of a regional priority where possible. While the spirit of the workshop makes for great progress in the coming years, WWF and the other development partners stressed the need for all member countries to ratify the CTI-CFF. Even if the spirit and energy to collaborate between countries at the technical level is at an all-time high, this will not result in much significant progress unless the highest levels of government in these countries are behind the CTI-CFF. The delegates at last month’s workshop have all returned home to their respective countries and offices, revitalised to ask their governments to proceed and speed up the ratification. Now WWF hopes that this will materialise soonest, as it will be key for the continued and growing partnerships for the coral reefs, fisheries, and food security in this outstanding part of the world.

René Descartes
Born: 31 March 1596 in La Haye (now Descartes),Touraine, France
Died: 11 February 1650 in Stockholm, Sweden
René Descartes was a philosopher whose work, La géométrie, includes his application of algebra to geometry from which we now have Cartesian geometry.
Descartes was educated at the Jesuit college of La Flèche in Anjou. He entered the college at the age of eight years, just a few months after the opening of the college in January 1604. He studied there until 1612, studying classics, logic and traditional Aristotelian philosophy. He also learnt mathematics from the books of Clavius. While in the school his health was poor and he was granted permission to remain in bed until 11 o'clock in the morning, a custom he maintained until the year of his death.
School had made Descartes understand how little he knew, the only subject which was satisfactory in his eyes was mathematics. This idea became the foundation for his way of thinking, and was to form the basis for all his works.
Descartes spent a while in Paris, apparently keeping very much to himself, then he studied at the University of Poitiers. He received a law degree from Poitiers in 1616 then enlisted in the military school at Breda. In 1618 he started studying mathematics and mechanics under the Dutch scientist Isaac Beeckman, and began to seek a unified science of nature. After two years in Holland he travelled through Europe. Then in 1619 he joined the Bavarian army.
From 1620 to 1628 Descartes travelled through Europe, spending time in Bohemia (1620), Hungary (1621), Germany, Holland and France (1622-23). He spent time in 1623 in Paris where he made contact with Mersenne, an important contact which kept him in touch with the scientific world for many years. From Paris he travelled to Italy where he spent some time in Venice, then he returned to France again (1625).
By 1628 Descartes tired of the continual travelling and decided to settle down. He gave much thought to choosing a country suited to his nature and chose Holland. It was a good decision which he did not seem to regret over the next twenty years.
Soon after he settled in Holland Descartes began work on his first major treatise on physics, Le Monde, ou Traité de la Lumière. This work was near completion when news that Galileo was condemned to house arrest reached him. He, perhaps wisely, decided not to risk publication and the work was published, only in part, after his death. He explained later his change of direction saying:-
... in order to express my judgement more freely, without being called upon to assent to, or to refute the opinions of the learned, I resolved to leave all this world to them and to speak solely of what would happen in a new world, if God were now to create ... and allow her to act in accordance with the laws He had established.
In Holland Descartes had a number of scientific friends as well as continued contact with Mersenne. His friendship with Beeckman continued and he also had contact with Mydorge, Hortensius, Huygens and Frans van Schooten (the elder).
Descartes was pressed by his friends to publish his ideas and, although he was adamant in not publishing Le Monde, he wrote a treatise on science under the title Discours de la méthode pour bien conduire sa raison et chercher la vérité dans les sciences. Three appendices to this work were La Dioptrique, Les Météores, and La Géométrie. The treatise was published at Leiden in 1637 and Descartes wrote to Mersenne saying:-
I have tried in my "Dioptrique" and my "Météores" to show that my Méthode is better than the vulgar, and in my "Géométrie" to have demonstrated it.
The work describes what Descartes considers is a more satisfactory means of acquiring knowledge than that presented by Aristotle's logic. Only mathematics, Descartes feels, is certain, so all must be based on mathematics.
La Dioptrique is a work on optics and, although Descartes does not cite previous scientists for the ideas he puts forward, in fact there is little new. However his approach through experiment was an important contribution.
Les Météores is a work on meteorology and is important in being the first work which attempts to put the study of weather on a scientific basis. However many of Descartes' claims are not only wrong but could have easily been seen to be wrong if he had done some easy experiments. For example Roger Bacon had demonstrated the error in the commonly held belief that water which has been boiled freezes more quickly. However Descartes claims:-
... and we see by experience that water which has been kept on a fire for some time freezes more quickly than otherwise, the reason being that those of its parts which can be most easily folded and bent are driven off during the heating, leaving only those which are rigid.
Despite its many faults, the subject of meteorology was set on course after publication of Les Météores particularly through the work of Boyle, Hooke and Halley.
La Géométrie is by far the most important part of this work. In [17] Scott summarises the importance of this work in four points:-
He makes the first step towards a theory of invariants, which at later stages derelativises the system of reference and removes arbitrariness.
Algebra makes it possible to recognise the typical problems in geometry and to bring together problems which in geometrical dress would not appear to be related at all.
Algebra imports into geometry the most natural principles of division and the most natural hierarchy of method.
Not only can questions of solvability and geometrical possibility be decided elegantly, quickly and fully from the parallel algebra, without it they cannot be decided at all.
Some ideas in La Géométrie may have come from earlier work of Oresme but in Oresme's work there is no evidence of linking algebra and geometry. Wallis in Algebra (1685) strongly argues that the ideas of La Géométrie were copied from Harriot. Wallis writes:-
... the Praxis was read by Descartes, and every line of Descartes' analysis bears token of the impression.
There seems little to justify Wallis's claim, which was probably made partly through patriotism but also through his just desires to give Harriot more credit for his work. Harriot's work on equations, however, may indeed have influenced Descartes who always claimed, clearly falsely, that nothing in his work was influenced by the work of others.
Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy, was published in 1641, designed for the philosopher and for the theologian. It consists of six meditations, Of the Things that we may doubt, Of the Nature of the Human Mind, Of God: that He exists, Of Truth and Error, Of the Essence of Material Things, Of the Existence of Material Things and of the Real Distinction between the Mind and the Body of Man. However many scientists were opposed to Descartes' ideas including Arnauld, Hobbes and Gassendi.
The most comprehensive of Descartes' works, Principia Philosophiae was published in Amsterdam in 1644. In four parts, The Principles of Human Knowledge, The Principles of Material Things, Of the Visible World and The Earth, it attempts to put the whole universe on a mathematical foundation reducing the study to one of mechanics.
This is an important point of view and was to point the way forward. Descartes did not believe in action at a distance. Therefore, given this, there could be no vacuum around the Earth otherwise there was no way that forces could be transferred. In many ways Descartes's theory, where forces work through contact, is more satisfactory than the mysterious effect of gravity acting at a distance.
However Descartes' mechanics leaves much to be desired. He assumes that the universe is filled with matter which, due to some initial motion, has settled down into a system of vortices which carry the sun, the stars, the planets and comets in their paths. Despite the problems with the vortex theory it was championed in France for nearly one hundred years even after Newton showed it was impossible as a dynamical system. As Brewster, one of Newton's 19th century biographers, puts it:-
Thus entrenched as the Cartesian system was ... it was not to be wondered at that the pure and sublime doctrines of the Principia were distrustfully received ... The uninstructed mind could not readily admit the idea that the great masses of the planets were suspended in empty space, and retained their orbits by an invisible influence...
Pleasing as Descartes's theory was even the supporters of his natural philosophy, such as the Cambridge metaphysical theologian Henry More, found objections. Certainly More admired Descartes, writing:-
I should look upon Des-Cartes as a man most truly inspired in the knowledge of Nature, than any that have professed themselves so these sixteen hundred years...
However between 1648 and 1649 they exchanged a number of letters in which More made some telling objections, Descartes however in his replies making no concessions to More's points. More went on to ask:-
Why are not your vortices in the form of columns or cylinders rather than ellipses, since any point of the axis of a vortex is as it were a centre from which the celestial matter recedes with, as far as I can see, a wholly constant impetus? ... Who causes all the planets not to revolve in one plane (the plane of the ecliptic)? ... And the Moon itself, neither in the plane of the Earth's equator nor in a plane parallel to this?
In 1644, the year his Meditations were published, Descartes visited France. He returned again in 1647, when he met Pascal and argued with him that a vacuum could not exist, and then again in 1648. In 1649 Queen Christina of Sweden persuaded Descartes to go to Stockholm. However the Queen wanted to draw tangents at 5 a.m. and Descartes broke the habit of his lifetime of getting up at 11 o'clock. After only a few months in the cold northern climate, walking to the palace for 5 o'clock every morning, he died of pneumonia.Article by: J J O'Connor and E F Robertson

The Lexus brand originated from a clandestine project initiated by its parent company Toyota Motor Corporation, and it proved to be a most lucrative endeavor.

Lexus is the luxury vehicle division of the Japanese automotive manufacturer Toyota Motor Corporation. First launched in the United States in 1989, the Lexus marque soon became associated with luxury, quality, reliability, and unparalleled customer satisfaction. The brand’s reputation grew so quickly that it became the best-selling luxury line of vehicles in the United States less than a dozen years later, a position it held for over a decade. Lexus is now sold all over the world and has become Japan's largest-seller of premium automobiles while maintaining its position in the upper echelon of the top-selling luxury vehicles in not only the U.S., but in the world.
1. Origin 2. Growing and Expanding the Brand 3. Lexus Today
In the 1980’s, the opportunity for Japanese automotive manufacturers like Toyota to export bigger, more expensive vehicles had grown due to a voluntary export restraint agreement negotiated by the Japanese and U.S. governments in 1981 which limited the number of mainstream vehicles that the Japanese could export to the U.S. annually. This however opened the door for Japan to be able to export luxury cars with less hassle. In 1983, former president and chairman of Toyota at the time, Eiji Toyoda, summoned a “hush-hush” meeting of top-level company executives. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the possibility and gauge the receptivity of creating a luxury vehicle for the American market that would rival the best in the world. As a result of this meeting, the company embarked on a top-secret project, code-named F1 (“Flagship One”). The purpose of the project was to ultimately develop a flagship sedan vehicle that would expand Toyota’s current product line and provide both loyal and new Toyota customers with an upmarket vehicle, with the additional thought that the new car would eventually give the company a secure position in the premium automobile market segment.
In 1985, researchers from Toyota traveled to the United States to conduct focus groups and market research in order to discover what American drivers wanted in regards to a luxury vehicle. F1 engineers were also busy building and testing prototype vehicles in locations ranging from the autobahn in Germany to roads in the U.S. When research was complete, the conclusion was that a separate division was needed to present its new vehicle. Honda, a Japanese competitor of Toyota’s, launched its Acura brand in the U.S. around the same time, further influencing Toyota in its decision to create a luxury division of its own. Plans were then made to create a new network of dealerships in the U.S. market and, after much debate Lexus was eventually selected as the name of the new luxury vehicle brand.
After an extended development process, the F1 project was finally completed in 1989. The result was its flagship sedan, which would become known as the Lexus LS 400. It premiered in the U.S. at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January of that year, alongside a second, smaller entry-level luxury sedan, the Lexus ES 250 which was based on the Toyota Camry. The LS 400 featured a unique design that shared no major elements with previous Toyota vehicles, unlike the first Acura models that had reached U.S. markets three years prior, which were just rebadged Honda’s. The car was widely praised, although there was certainly no shortage of critics either amongst automobile critics. The luxury cars went on sale to the American public later in the year and were a big hit with consumers, instantly establishing customer loyalty while providing quite the jolt to luxury competitors like BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Each went on to win numerous major “Best Car” type awards the following year from industry trade publications such as Car and Driver.
Only a few months after launch, the brand initiated a voluntary recall of all of the LS 400 cars that had been sold up until that time, based upon two customer complaints that it had received in regards to defective wiring and an overheated brake light. In response to these complaints, the company sent technicians to pick up affected vehicles, repair the defective parts, and return the cars to customers free of charge. It also flew in personnel and rented garage space for affected owners in remote locations. All of this was done over the course of 20 days and the response was raved about by those in the media, helping to establish the marque's reputation for customer service early on. While sales of the cars were initially slow, by year’s end the brand had reach its sales goals. The Lexus brand had been introduced to the world!
Growing and Expanding the Brand
In 1990, the company began exporting cars in limited numbers to other countries, including the United Kingdom and Canada, in order to begin expanding the brand globally and increase sales outside of the United States. In 1991, Lexus released its first sports car, the Lexus SC 400, which was followed by the Lexus ES 300, the replacement for the ES 250, later that year. The latter quickly became Lexus’ top selling car. By the end of the year, Lexus had become the best-selling luxury car import in the United States, surpassing both Mercedes-Benz and BMW. A smaller engine version of the SC 400, the Lexus SC 300, debuted the following year. More industry awards were bestowed upon both vehicles.
In 1993, the brand introduced its first luxury performance sedan, the Lexus GS 300. That same year, the company also unveiled a certified pre-owned program (CPO), with the aim of improving trade in model values, becoming one of the first car brands to do so. 1996 saw the launch of the brand’s first sports utility vehicle (SUV), the Lexus LX 450 and in 1998, Lexus launched its first luxury crossover SUV, the upmarket Lexus RX 300. The latter vehicle became the brand’s top-selling model, surpassing the ES 300. The company also expanded into South America, launching in Brazil that same year. 1999 was a memorable year for the brand as they sold their one-millionth vehicle in the U.S. market and were ranked as the top-selling vehicle make in the U.S. overall. The brand also entered the motorsport arena for the first in 1999 as well, an arena it still participates in to this day. Quite the list of accomplishments for a brand that was just around a decade old.
The start of the new millennium brought with it the launch of the entry-level Lexus IS 300 luxury sports sedan. In 2001, Lexus updated its classic SC model, turning it into a hardtop convertible. The resulting Lexus SC 430 was the brand’s first convertible model. In 2002, the company released the luxurious and rugged Lexus GX 470 and in 2005, it released a hybrid-powered version of its RX crossover, the Lexus RX 400h. The RX 400h was the industry’s first luxury hybrid SUV.
In 2005, the brand was organizationally separated from its parent company Toyota. At this point, Lexus began operating its own exclusive design, engineering, training, and manufacturing centers, which were now solely responsible for the brand’s vehicles. This move was made to coincide with the introduction of the brand to its home-market Japan that same year. By doing so, it became the first Japanese luxury car marque to launch in its country of origin. The brand was also launched in China that same year, further increasing its global expansion into major world markets. By the end of the decade, the company had expanded into over 70 countries across six continents, and continues to grow.
In 2006, the marque began selling its second hybrid vehicle, the Lexus GS 450h. The GS 450h was the automotive industry’s first luxury hybrid sport sedan. A premium hybrid sedan, the Lexus LS 600h L, went on sale in 2007. It was the first full V8 hybrid vehicle in the world, marking another automotive industry first achieved by the brand. In 2007, Lexus launched a new F marque performance division, which would produce racing-inspired versions of its performance models. The first vehicle in its new high-performance division was the Lexus IS F sports sedan, followed by the world-class Lexus LFA supercar which began selling in the United States in 2011. In 2009, the marque released the Lexus HS 250h, the world’s first hybrid-only luxury vehicle. All-new IS 350C and IS 250C hard-top convertibles were also released that year. In 2011, the brand’s fifth hybrid vehicle, the Lexus CT 200h compact hatchback was released as well.
Lexus Today
By the end of the decade, Lexus ranked as the fourth-largest premium vehicle marque in the world by volume. It had also been the top selling luxury vehicle brand in the U.S. for ten consecutive years, with an eleventh following its decade of dominance. However, it would get knocked off of that perch as a result of a terrible tragedy. In March 2011, a massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami hit the country of Japan, causing massive damage to the country. Toyota had to shutter a number of its manufacturing facilities in the country as a result, causing a severe disruption to Lexus' Japan-based production lines. This created a shortage of vehicles which hindered the brand’s near-term sales prospects. Due to the substantial drop in sales in the U.S. market as a result of this event, Lexus lost its position there as the top-selling premium vehicle brand to BMW in 2011, followed by Mercedes-Benz in 2012. However, the brand recovered substantially from the tragedy as sales increased 23% in 2012.
Today, the brand features an extremely broad line-up of vehicles that ranges from sedans to convertibles, and SUVs to hybrids, and has expanded over the years to meet the changing needs of its global luxury consumers. Lexus vehicles continue to emphasize design and build quality, reliability, luxury and comfort while the company also strives to provide the ultimate in customer service to satisfy its customers and encourage loyalty to the brand. Its relentless pursuit of perfection has resulted in Lexus vehicles outperforming other automotive manufacturers in industry ratings many times over the course of its existence, a reputation it works hard to protect. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5605 | {"url": "http://www.1aauto.com/1A/-/Lexus/LX450", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.1aauto.com",

Advertisement Ke$ha Says Her Vagina Is In Top Working Order
Posted by AJ Grey on 02.26.2013
Good to know...
Ke$ha took the time to give a status update on her vagina recently. Ke$ha was speaking to The Sun about her song "Gold Trans Am," which she wrote with her mother and is an homage to her genitals when she declared that her plumbing is doing a-okay.
She said of the track, "It began as a song about my car, which is a gold Trans Am, and it works about 40 per cent of the time. I don't have another car because I love that one so much. But then like all great pop it became a metaphor for something else - my p****."
She continued from that little bit of interview gold, "But my vagina is in tip top working order. Valeted and souped-up and working 100 per cent of the time."
Ke$ha noted that she is thankfully aware that writing a song about one's genitals alongside their mother might be considered weird by some, saying, "We write songs about boys and sex together. That may not be normal to the average psychiatrist out there but I think it's pretty cool ... Don't analyse. That's the problem with so much culture out there. People are so trapped into trying to do the right thing. As long as you are not hurting anyone I think you should feel free to indulge your fantasies." | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5606 | {"url": "http://www.411mania.com/music/news/274998", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.411mania.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:20:30Z", "digest": "sha1:2TKRO2IH7MMLHJUHTF2VJEV3FAKMPFIN"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1285, 1285.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1285, 2810.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1285, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1285, 49.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1285, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1285, 328.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1285, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1285, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1285, 6.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1285, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1285, 0.45547945]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1285, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1285, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1285, 0.03222558]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1285, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1285, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1285, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1285, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1285, 0.02114804]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1285, 0.02014099]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1285, 0.02416918]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1285, 0.01712329]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1285, 0.14285714]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1285, 0.15068493]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1285, 0.6]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1285, 4.1375]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1285, 0.00684932]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1285, 4.74657224]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1285, 240.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 60, 0.0], [60, 92, 0.0], [92, 108, 1.0], [108, 356, 1.0], [356, 622, 0.0], [622, 781, 0.0], [781, 1285, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 60, 0.0], [60, 92, 0.0], [92, 108, 0.0], [108, 356, 0.0], [356, 622, 0.0], [622, 781, 0.0], [781, 1285, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 60, 10.0], [60, 92, 6.0], [92, 108, 3.0], [108, 356, 47.0], [356, 622, 56.0], [622, 781, 29.0], [781, 1285, 89.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 60, 0.0], [60, 92, 0.27586207], [92, 108, 0.0], [108, 356, 0.0], [356, 622, 0.008], [622, 781, 0.01973684], [781, 1285, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 60, 0.0], [60, 92, 0.0], [92, 108, 0.0], [108, 356, 0.0], [356, 622, 0.0], [622, 781, 0.0], [781, 1285, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 60, 0.16666667], [60, 92, 0.125], [92, 108, 0.0625], [108, 356, 0.02822581], [356, 622, 0.02631579], [622, 781, 0.01886792], [781, 1285, 0.01785714]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1285, 0.22987014]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1285, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1285, 0.52053767]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1285, -0.96662903]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1285, 14.1946301]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1285, -87.55021432]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1285, 16.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |
Marquette University to install new president Friday
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Marquette University is inaugurating its 23rd president.
A ceremony will be held Friday morning for the Rev. Scott Pilarz and include a processional of more than 100 college and university presidents and delegates from across the nation.

Tommy Tutone
Tommy Tutone is a powerpop/rock band, best known for its 1982 hit "867-5309/Jenny", which peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Although they are usually referred to as "a San Francisco band", they were actually based in Willits, California at the time that "Jenny" was released. The song became so popular that people in the United States to this day dial this telephone number and ask for "Jenny" as a prank. Regarding the famous number, "We had people threatening to sue us. It was the Buffalo Chief of Police's daughter's number in New York," said frontman Tommy Heath. Although they are frequently remembered as a "one-hit wonder", they had another top 40 hit on the Hot 100 with "Angel Say No" in 1980, predating "Jenny" by a couple of years.
A common misconception is that Tommy Tutone is the name of the lead singer; it is actually the name of the band. Tommy Heath is the lead singer. The name of the band developed from the original name "Tommy and the Tu-tones" to merely Tommy Tutone.
Heath and Jim Keller founded the band in the late 1970s, with Heath acting as the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, also playing keyboards on occasion; Keller playing lead guitar and supporting vocals. Bassist Jon Lyons (original name Jonathan Lyons Terlep) who replaced original bassist Terry Nails (Steve Jones, Ozzy Osbourne) was later replaced by Greg Sutton, Pete Costello and Jimmy James. Mona Gnader, a member of Sammy Hagar's Waborita band, played with the band as well. Original drummer Mickey Shine (Clover and drummer on the first Elvis Costello album) was replaced by Victor Carberry who in turn was replaced with Jerry Angel. John Cowsill of the Cowsills played drums (and sang) on "867-5309/Jenny." From 2001 onward, the band has consised of Heath,(occasionally Costello) James, Greg Georgeson (guitar) and Andy Gauthier (drums).
Tommy Heath now resides in Hudson, Wisconsin. Tommy has been seen playing a Fender Telecaster for most of his career
In 2007, the band signed a recording contract with Spectra Records.

Jenny, Jenny who can I turn to
You give me something I can hold on to
I know you'll think I'm like the others before
Who saw your name and number on the wall
Jenny I've got your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny don't change your number
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)
Jenny, Jenny you're the girl for me
You don't know me but you make me so happy
I tried to call you before
But I lost my nerve
I tried my imagination
But I was disturbed
I got it (I got it), I got it
I got your number on the wall
Jenny I call your number
For the price of a dime
I can always turn to you 8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9

Thelma McWilliams Glass
Civil rights pioneer and longtime geography professor Thelma Glass has died at the age of 96.
Glass was a professor of geography at Alabama State University, where she taught for over 40 years. She was the last surviving member of the Women’s Political Council, which helped organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955-56, a key event in the civil rights movement.
Glass graduated with honors from the Alabama State Teachers College in 1941. She later attended the Teachers College at Columbia University, where she earned an M.A. in 1947.
John Knight, executive vice president and chief operating officer at Alabama State University, was one of Glass’s students. “She had such a pleasing personality, you felt welcome. You felt a sense of warmth. And she always challenged you academically to be the very best,” Knight was quoted as saying.[i]
Glass was the focus of a chapter written by Jan Monk and Sunita George with Juanita George, “Teachers and Their Times: Thelma Glass and Juanita Gaston,” published in The South’s Role in the Making of AmericanGeography: Centennial of the AAG, 2004, edited by J.O. Wheeler and Stanley Brunn.
Glass’s main interests in geography included local and regional research in economic, cultural, and physical geography; excellence in education to prepare students for careers in teaching, government, and industry; and the introduction of geography into senior high schools in Alabama. She was well known on campus as a teacher-activist willing to put the values she espoused into action. Glass was deeply committed to the development and future success of her students and sought to introduce them to a broad-based education through the contextualization provided by geography education.
In 2011, Glass received ASU’s Black and Gold Standard Award, a non-annual award that is given to the school’s most notable alumni. She received many teaching awards throughout her career. An auditorium is named for Glass on the Alabama State University campus.

Research Supports Laws That Require Bicyclists to Wear Helmets
Data show fewer deaths among youths after a bicycle-motor vehicle crash in states with mandatory helmet laws
Article BodyWASHINGTON, DC —Bicycle helmets save lives, and their use should be required by law. That’s the conclusion of a study to be presented Monday, May 6, at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) annual meeting in Washington, DC. “This study highlights the importance of regulations in the promotion of safe exercise,” said lead author William P. Meehan III, MD, FAAP, director of the Micheli Center for Sports Injury Prevention and the Sports Concussion Clinic at Boston Children’s Hospital.
About 900 people die each year in bicycle crashes, three-quarters of them from head injuries. Pointing to evidence that shows helmets reduce the risk of injury and death, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that all cyclists wear helmets that fit properly every time they ride. The AAP also supports legislation that requires all cyclists to wear helmets. To determine if such laws reduce national injury and death rates, Dr. Meehan and his colleagues analyzed data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System on all U.S. bicyclists younger than 16 years of age who were severely injured or died between January 1999 and December 2009. They compared the injury and death rates in states with mandatory helmet laws to those without. Results showed that 2,451 children suffered incapacitating injuries or died in bicycle-motor vehicle crashes during the study period. An incapacitating injury was defined as one that prevents a person from walking or normally continuing the activities he or she was capable of before the injury. States with mandatory helmet laws had significantly lower rates of fatalities/incapacitating injuries after bicycle-motor vehicle collisions than states without helmet laws (2 per 1 million children vs. 2.5 per 1 million children, respectively). Helmet laws continued to be associated with lower rates of fatalities and incapacitating injuries after adjusting for factors known to be associated with lower rates of motor vehicle fatalities, including elderly driver licensure laws, legal blood alcohol limit (lower than 0.08 percent) and household income.
“In conjunction with our previous work on booster seat laws, this study further proves that mandatory safety equipment laws are effective,” said Rebekah C. Mannix, MD, MPH, senior author on the study. Currently, only 21 states and the District of Columbia have laws requiring bicyclists to wear helmets.

Sports Specialization, Hours Spent in Organized Sports May Predict Young Athlete Injury
Athletes ages 8 to 18 who spend twice as many hours per week in organized sports than in free play, and especially in a single sport, are more likely to be injured.

Senator Moynihan was re-elected to the Senate in 1982, 1988, and 1994, and served until 2000. He was the Ranking Minority Member of the Senate Committee on Finance, having earlier served as Chairman. He served on the Committee of the Environment and Public Works, of which he was also formerly Chairman, and the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration. He was a member of the Joint Committee on Taxation and the Joint Committee on the Library. Senator Moynihan held cabinet or sub-cabinet positions under Presidents John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford. Senator Moynihan also served as a Professor of Education and Government at Harvard University. In 2001 Senator Moynihan became a Professor at Syracuse University's Maxwell School and a senior scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, an institution of which he was a founder; he held this position until his death in 2003.
Senator Moynihan attended public and parochial school in New York City and graduated from Benjamin Franklin High School in East Harlem. He attended the City College of New York for one year before enlisting in the United States Navy. He served on active duty from 1944 to 1947. In 1966, he completed twenty years in the Naval Reserve and was retired. He earned his bachelor's degree (cum laude) from Tufts University, studied at the London School of Economics as a Fulbright Scholar, and received his M.A. and Ph.D. from Tufts University's Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.
Awards include the Laetare Medal of the University of Notre Dame (1992); the Thomas Jefferson Award for Public Architecture from the American Institute of Architects (1992); and the Thomas Jefferson Medal for Distinguished Achievement in the Arts or Humanities from the American Philosophical Society (1993). In 1994, he received the Gold Medal Award "honoring services to humanity" from the National Institute of Social Sciences. In 1997, the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University awarded Senator Moynihan the Cartwright Prize. He was the 1998 recipient of the Heinz Award in Public Policy for "having been a distinct and unique voice in this century independent in his convictions, a scholar, teacher, statesman and politician, skilled in the art of the possible." Senator Moynihan received the Presidential Medal of Freedom on August 9, 2000. Senator Moynihan is the author of many books; his last book, Future of the Family, was published in 2003.

Lateral Trend Is ‘Rise of the Lone Wolves’
Posted Feb 3, 2010 7:00 AM CDT
There is a trend emerging in last year’s record number of lateral partner moves: the rise of the lone wolves.
According to the American Lawyer, 2,775 partners left or joined the largest 200 firms in the country last year. Of that number, 114 left to form their own firms. Some were flying solo, and some left with small groups.
The year before, only 70 partners left to start their own firms, the American Lawyer reports in a related story. Among the firms that saw partners leave to start their own firms are Keker & Van Nest; Shearman & Sterling; Baker Botts; Irell & Manella; Clifford Chance; Foley & Lardner; Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom; DLA Piper; McKee Nelson; Alston & Bird; and McGuireWoods.
The timing may be right, according to the articles. Clients want lower legal bills, and the new smaller firms may be able to handle some of the work that once would have gone to bigger firms.
“If you have wondered about the call of ownership, or why you have a partner you've never met in Bratislava, or whether small is really beautiful, there may never be a better moment to break away,” the American Lawyer says.

Twentieth Century Eightball
Daniel Clowes ISBN 10: 1560974362 / 1-56097-436-2 ISBN 13: 9781560974369
Publisher: Fantagraphics Books
The creator of Ghost World eviscerates American culture.Before the Ghost World graphic novel and film propelled Daniel Clowes to international superstardom as the preeminent cartoonist of his generation, his ongoing comic book Eightball was already the most talked-about series of the 1990s. Renowned for its gleefully incisive social satire and riotous absurdity, Entertainment Weekly proclaimed it "the year's best regularly published comic book" upon its debut in 1989. The Village Voice proclaimed it "brilliant," and Art Spiegelman called it "curdlingly good." Simpsons creator Matt Groening has repeatedly called it his favorite comic book.20th Century Eightball collects the very best humor strips from Eightball, written and drawn between 1988 and 1996. Included within are such seminal strips/rants as "I Hate You Deeply," "Sexual Frustration," "Ugly Girls," "Why I Hate Christians," "Message to the People of the Future," "Paranoid," "My Suicide," "Chicago," and over three dozen more. Other favorites include "Art School Confidential," one of Clowes' most popular strips of all-time: it was recently optioned as a major motion picture by Drew Barrymore, with a screenplay by Ghost World's Clowes and Terry Zwigoff. Also included is Clowes' hilariously Freudian deconstruction of professional athletes, "On Sports," which caused a stir in San Antonio last year when reprinted in the city's most popular weekly paper, prompting an advertising boycott and demands for the paper to be destroyed by local sports fans. Noted comics historian Roger Sabin, author of Phaidon's Comics, Comix and Graphic Novels, calls 20th Century Eightball a "corrosively satirical vision of an America cracking apart, and confirms Clowes as a worthy successor to the underground greats of the 1960s." 40 pages in color, fully illustrated.

[2083] Useful Immunohistochemical Technique in Heavily Pigmented Malignant MelanomaMichio Shimizu, Yusuke Hosonuma, Hiroshi Yamaguchi, Koji Nagata, Masanori Yasuda. Saitama Medical University International Medical Center, Hidaka, Saitama, JapanBackground: Immunohistochemistry is often used in the diagnosis of malignant melanoma. However, evaluation can be challenging in heavily pigmented cases because immunohistochemical staining for HMB-45 and Melan-A antibodies using diaminobenzidine (DAB) as the chromogen reveals a brown product, which cannot distinguish melanocytes from melanophages. In such cases, alkaline phosphatase-fast red detection method may be conducted in some institutions. Here, we specifically paid attention to the process of counterstaining in immunohistochemistry.Design: Fifteen examples of heavily pigmented malignant melanoma were immunohistochemically evaluated by using HMB-45, Melan-A, and microphthalmia transcription factor (MiTF). Immunohistochemistry was performed using four different stains, Giemsa stain, methylene blue stain, toluidine blue stain and cresyl v | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5616 | {"url": "http://www.abstracts2view.com/uscap13/view.php?nu=USCAP13L_2083", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.abstracts2view.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:17:27Z", "digest": "sha1:GPYVYIC6WUC3LACYF24YFCBE654ALSMR"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1100, 1100.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1100, 1120.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1100, 1.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1100, 2.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1100, 0.85]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1100, 298.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1100, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1100, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1100, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1100, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1100, 0.23699422]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1100, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1100, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1100, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1100, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1100, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1100, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1100, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1100, 0.05144695]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1100, 0.03858521]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1100, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1100, 0.02890173]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1100, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1100, 0.21387283]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1100, 0.76691729]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1100, 7.01503759]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1100, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1100, 4.50703939]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1100, 133.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 1100, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 1100, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 1100, 133.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 1100, 0.00751174]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 1100, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 1100, 0.04636364]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1100, 0.86118525]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1100, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1100, 0.04111087]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1100, -46.97649247]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1100, -13.21331595]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1100, 1.86733498]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1100, 7.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |

59: Resolution on the Ratification of the Statute of the International Criminal Court by OAU Member States
The African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, meeting at its 31st Ordinary Session in Pretoria, South Africa, from 2nd to 16th May 2002:
Recalling that the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC) represents an important development in the history of humanity and Universal jurisdiction and more specifically in the struggle against impunity for the more serious crimes as crimes of war, crimes against humanity and genocide;
Recalling that the 60 ratifications necessary for the entry into force of the ICC Statute was reached in April 2002 and that the statute will subsequently enter into force on 1st July 2002;
Noting with satisfaction the fact that among the 66 States who have presently ratified the ICC Statute, 14 are African countries: South Africa, Benin, Botswana, Gabon, Ghana, Lesotho, Mali, Mauritius, Niger, Nigeria, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Senegal, Sierra Leone ;
Cautious that for the ICC to reflect universal jurisdiction and to receive universal credibility, as many countries as possible, from all regions of the world should ratify the Rome Statute;
Recalling that the Assembly of States Parties will meet at the beginning of September 2002 in order to adopt the final texts necessary for the functioning of the ICC and to appoint and elect the judges;
Noting that only the States party to the Statute will have the opportunity to present candidates for the position of judges;
Convinced that by dealing with crimes against humanity, war crimes, crimes of aggression, crimes of genocide and by putting an end to the tradition of impunity, the International Criminal Court will enhance and contribute sensitively to the protection of Human and Peoples’ Rights;
Urges OAU Member States who have not yet done so to ratify the ICC Statute without delay;
