One of the ideas to find out if a new product/service is viable to build is see if there's interest in it. One of the methods talked about is to gauge how many people want to buy it. That is people actually paying for it and not saying "Yeah.. I would buy it if you build it". The idea makes sense.
My question is how do you get people to hand you money for a product that's not out there yet but just an idea in your mind? Personally I don't pay for anything if I don't see it or try it. I don't see this happening unless it's a new unique product which will ease a lot of pain and they are willing to pay in advance or encourage me to build it. What about any other product like a product or service which is better and cheaper than existing ones?
Addition:
This question is not about seeking funding. It's about if an idea for a product or service is a good one and to know if people will buy it. I am building the product myself and not seeking funding or at least funding comes if the idea is proven viable.

If you are based in the US and this is a product, what you are proposing is actually illegal. The FTC has something called the 30 day rule. Here is a direct quote from the FTC web site:
"The Rule requires that when you advertise merchandise, you must have a reasonable basis for stating or implying that you can ship within a certain time. If you make no shipment statement, you must have a reasonable basis for believing that you can ship within 30 days."
FTC 30 Day Rule
It takes only a single complaint to the FTC to start an investigation. You can Google for the possible fines and punishments.
You can circumvent the rule, but you better be careful hen you do so. Check out Kickstarter.com for ideas on how test out an idea and get funding at the same time.

One popular option is Kick Starter - a Website designed to fund ideas and concepts.
They essentially get everyone to commit X dollars, say $100 a person. Once they get a certain amount, say $10,000 then the project is a go. Majority of the time the people who put up the money would get a free account or get their moneys back in service usage.
It only charges the committed people if it hits the project amount needed. Kind of like Groupon where 'the deal is on.'
Kickstarter takes a decent chunk, you could also make your own that works this same way using http://aws.amazon.com/fps/ Amazon Flexible Payment Service. Would need a developer. Or, you can just get commitments from existing contacts / friends. Have them sign something? Get their credit card info, get a check.

In most businesses this is a task done by the marketing department. In order to validate spending on creating and manufacturing a product, they run extensive tests to gauge demand. One of the methods they use they run advertisements of the product aimed at the target market before it is ready. Then they see how many people respond to the advertisement. If there is sufficient demand they proceed otherwise they kill the product. See vaporware.

I can think of three approaches that each have their advocates: the classical, the opportunistic and the lean.
The classical approach focuses on the market rather than the solution. How widespread is the problem? What are the present solutions, how are they positioned and what's their market share? Now, where are the gaps? Now choose the best opportunity, and go for it.
That approach is most commonly seen from larger companies. So the simplest answer to the question, "why would anyone buy this non-existent solution?" is, I already know and trust the company, so why wouldn't I? They know what they're doing, and I want what they're promising. Not every customer will take that attitude, of course, but the subset who do get early value and help to make the new product a success.
The opportunistic approach often comes out of consultants - individuals and small firms. They spot an opportunity because they see similar issues cropping up with a number of clients, and most likely have developed ad hoc answers to the problem. Reflecting on the experience, abstracting away some of the details and coming up with a killer solution built on the experience they've built up defines the opportunity in a bottom-up way (versus the top-down classical approach).
The early adopters and sponsors for the product are the exact same people who bought help at a day-rate. These are well-formed relationships, where there's trust and personal connection.
If those were top-down and bottom-up, the lean approach is a kind of Brownian motion. Here the objective is to distil the insights, however gained, into something as simple and quick to develop as possible, and that will be iterated - the famous Minimum Viable Product or MVP.
You could say it's a cheat for me to include that here at all. After all, typically you're selling something you've built, not pre-selling something you've started work on.
I'd argue, though, that as MVP is as much about the process as the product, it's a valid development route, to be weighed up against the others. For me it makes most sense when the time and effort to define and code the MVP is comparable to the time it would take to pre-sell the full product idea you have in mind. And the customers for the early product are highly likely to be responding to the value of the core feature(s) - which is arguably the best way of validating the general market.
I think all three approaches have their merits. They're not all viable in all areas of development or for all startups, but I'd certainly advise anyone thinking about product opportunities to sketch out how each of the three might work for them.

I work in finance and have a stable job with lots of growth potential. However, I have no passion here. When I think about working for a startup, my eyes light up with excitement. I'm immobilized because I'm stuck debating between the two potential career paths. What things should I consider in helping make a decision so I can march forward?

There are a range of things you should think about before jumping in.
Potential Negatives:
• Partner. If you have a partner, do they support you in the transition, are they prepared to take a complete change in lifestyle and in someways be with a completely different person ... You will be focused on different things, you will be driven, you will stressed ... are they signing up for it?
• Family. There is only 1 thing as demanding on your time and mental capacity and that is kids (so I'm told) ... can you deal with both, are you planning kids in the next 5 years, if so think carefully.
• Other life goals. You may not have a chance to travel as holidays are short and interupted, playing on top sports teams and doing a bunch of other stuff will likely go on hold for a few years at least, most likely 10 years or more.
• Cashflow. For a while you may not have a consistant cashflow so signing up to ongoing things may be hard.
• Commitments. Owning a car and owning a house may not be options for a few years, are you ok with this?
• Daily lifestyle. While you can choose what you do and when,
• Switch off at home time. This is something a lot of 9 to 5 workers take for granted, they don't have to worry about anything until they walk in the next day ... In a startup this normally isn't the case, you are thinking about it all day every day, and if your not then you feel like your wasting time.
• Not understood by others. Everyone who isn't in a startup is always telling you to relax, take more time off, assumes your making millions, expects that you will have all the benefits like over time pay and sometimes get angry when you have to say "the world doesn't actually work like that" OR "I am the company, there is no 'they', its ME".
• Social circle changes. If your social circle is made up of people who don't work for themselves then you will strike points where they ask "So what do you do?" and you answer "I run 2 software development companies" and that is the end of the conversation, they back off from you. One instance they took a dislike because I was "the enemy" (the boss) ... you find other people but it can be disconcerting the first few times.
• There is no backup. If it has to be done, your the only one who is going to do it. Coming from a large company this can be a huge culture shock when you start realising how much was "taken care of" by other people.
• You answer to everybody. While its true "You are your own boss" ... in reality it means that every client is now telling you what to do and pulling you in different directions.
• You have to deal with a lot more stuff. If your an expert in a specific field then your going to get a big shock when you start having to deal with clients and employees and creditors and banks and contractors and 1000 sales people per week ... everyone wants a piece of you, all the time.
• When it hits the fan, your the one in the front row facing up to the problem.
Positives:
• You can grow something new.
• Your mind is alive, your always switched on even when your sick.
• You find out what you are capable of.
• You learn more every few months than you would every few years in another job, because there is no one else to do it...
• You can become independantly wealthy.
• You can define your own parameters ... well kind of.
• You can choose who you work with.
• You can create the environment you want around you.
• You can meet a broad range of new people you wouldn't normally come in contact with.
• You get treated differently, your decisions matter.
• Other people watch you and take their lead from you.
• You get to build what you want to build.
• You come to get a deeper picture of how the world works because your thrown in the deep end and have to make it work.
• You get invited to a wider range of events and gatherings.
But these are just my experiences, your likely to have your own list that looks different to mine. Really if your happy to take the pay cut and your single or have a partner who is backing you, I would recommend trying it for a few years, you can always return to corporate life, usually with more experience and thus target a better role.

First, ask yourself how stable is your stable job. I was in a similar situation, I was an attorney in an established law firm, and I struggled with myself a lot when leaving for joining a company that might not be there anymore in one year. Guess what, a flip of the economy and my ex-employer fired 30 attorneys in one day. No advance notice. Finance does not look like a very stable industry either, at least right now.
What you call lack of stability is just the fear of switching from a known situation to something unknown, and therefore risky. Once you realize that, I think you can make a better decision by stating your priorities and aswering questions like: how long can you remain sane working at a job you are not passionate about? How much can you handle unstructured business and roller-coaster moments? How much do you care about salary and prestige?
Bottom line: working in a big corporate environment is not more stable, is just more predictable. By working for a smaller company, you sacrifice that comforting feeling for more engagement and possibly higher rewards (few startups win big, but when they do, no IB partner stands the comparison!).
Final words of advice: worst case scenario, you take the chance, go work for a startup (better, THE startup), learn a ton, fail, and come back to finance. You might lose a couple steps in the corporate ladder, but the value of the experience will be yours forever. And you grew some balls.

I sioerulsy don't understand you.
When I think about working for a startup, my eyes light up with excitement
Why? What are you running away from?
I am not disputing that working in a startup is exciting - but it should not be because it is a startup (in general) but because of what you can do there and / or the exciting product being worked on. You say nothing about "I have an idea for a startup", you seem to think that in general life in a startup is a lot better than in an established career.
Startups are hard and high risk.
Make sure you like THE startup, not A startup.

Everybody has ideas and would love to work for their ideas but the question is do you have a market for it? Try to find your customers for your business you are thinking about it. Talk to your friends and other people over phone and see if you have a market? If 9/10 say that your idea is great then by all means you should start you company. If 1/10 feels the need then probably you should stay in your job.
I'm saying this because one of my friends quit his job and started a start up company and it is going great till now because he did a lot of ground work before and found who his customers were and went for it.
So do your ground work and identify your market size and if you think the target market is big enough then go for it.
share|improve this answer
You should consider whether or how much you're willing to fail. I'm sure you 'fail' at your current job, but failing at the task of boot-strapping or merely working-at a startup is different. If you're like me, you consider quitting a failure of sorts. You may eventually quit your startup because of the stress. You may quit because of personal finances. You might be fired because you can't hack it! Or – what might be worst of all – maybe your startup simply dies (as almost all of them do).
Despite what Steve Jobs may have said, the world in fact would probably not be a better place if everyone followed their (work) dreams. You should consider all of the benefits of working for a startup – self-direction, flexible working times and environments, challenging projects, etc. – as just another form of compensation. How much less would you accept from your current employer if you were able to secure each of the benefits of working at a startup?

I am a founding investor in a 3 year old startup company and own about 2.5% of the company stock. I was initially involved as a consultant but I haven't been involved for the last 1.5 yrs. The Company has apparently made great progress and is now ready for Series A VC funding. Now the Company is threatening to dilute the value of my stock because I haven't been involved in the development of the company (which is not required in any agreements). They are claiming that most of the value of the company was created without my involvement and therefore, I'm not entitled to the resulting substantial increase in value that has occurred during that time period. This is a Silicon Valley Company. My lawyers (in a different state) say they've never heard of such a thing and think the company is bluffing me to get me to make a settlement. The Company however insists that this is done all the time in Silicon Valley and especially with early stage and maturing startups. Any light you could shed on this would be most appreciated and helpful.

on AIMs Under Rule 26 companies are required to provide certain information which is to be publicly available and up-to-date. which includes all the info that is written into the company policies about dilutions and consolidations and who has the overall say in what can and cant be done with the company, so this info should be readily available for you to see where you stand via a company web site or via the nomad site of the company.it is the rules of trading by the regulators that the info is made available,to which they must comply in order to stay with in the trading rules and regulations.and if they dont they can be suspended or even delisted from the stock exchange if the continually refuse to comply. there for i would imagine that other trade organisations other than AIMS must have simular guide lines and regulations to follow.also the final statements may show these details i believe.
share|improve this answer
I've looked through several sites with regards to dilution and the issue is that the company can actually dilute the value of your stock by issuing additional shares. And they don't need the courts to do it.
There are several resources that describe how this is done Wikipedia, Foolish Fundamentals, etc. Basically the situation becomes the following if the company is worth $1,000,000 and there 1,000,000 issued you can do the math of how much your shares are worth. Now if there are convertible bonds or new issuance in play which can be done by a startup at any time your stock value goes down since company is still worth $1,000,000 but the number of shares of common stock is now let's say $2,000,000. If the price of the stock goes back up you may make your money back but if not technically the stock price could be diluted down to nothing worth mentioning.
Now on the other hand what your lawyer and I have understood from what company is trying to do is they may be trying to force you to give up all or some of your shares, which I don't see how they will be able to do.
share|improve this answer
Unfortunately they can be dishonest. Although you will always retain your shares the value of those shares can be reduced. (I asked a similar question here)
For example if you own one of the 100 shares in a $100 company then each share is worth $1. If they then issue another 100 shares and distribute them among themselves your value will go down to $0.5.
There are however some laws that give you some rights to buy shares if they issue more. I suggest you get another lawyer (on who understands dilution) and discuss it.

My co-founder and I recently went through the process of incorporation. I just got back the documents for the filing of a Delaware C-Corp and noticed my lawyer setup my co-founder as director and that I don't show up anywhere in the incorporation documents.
I have no issues with it being done this way and I remember he explained that ownership/directors/etc of the corporation will be set in the bylaws but I just wanted to make sure this is standard procedure and it was done correctly.

I have no issues with it being done this way and I remember he explained that ownership/directors/etc of the corporation will be set in the bylaws
That is correct. Ownership of the corporation is established by the entity's own contracts with individuals, not the articles of incorporation filed with the DE SecState. The bylaws will determine how these contracts are drafted and executed. One such contract that formally establishes you and your co-founder's ownership of the corporation is a Stock Purchase Agreement.
Fyi, your corporation's officers' names will appear in the first annual statement of information you file with the DE Secretary of State. In the eyes of the DE SecState, the officers have the power to update/alter the legal status of the corporation's registration in Delaware (DE SecState does not ask who your shareholders are). This happens as you pay your annual corporation franchise tax near the beginning of next year for the current tax year. While most startups do appoint founders as the initial officers, officers and founders/owners are not synonymous, since officers don't necessarily have stock/ownership of the company.
To give you a better picture of the process and when individual persons' names show up on documents, here's a quick summary:
1) Incorporation - only incorporator's name appears on the DE Certificate of Incorporation.
2) Incorporator appoints directors (this can be informal) -OR- Incorporator establishes the bylaws (obviously, how the 'incorporator' acts should be the result of a consensus between founders).
3) If directors are appointed in lieu of the establishment of bylaws, they can establish the bylaws at a meeting.
If bylaws are established first, then directors are appointed according to stipulations in the bylaws.
4) Either way, the bylaws and directors influence how officers are appointed, procedures for issuing stock (ownership of the company), shareholder powers, and other decision-making procedures for the corporation.
5) You'll find out when opening a business bank account that the corporation will need to provide a copy of its bylaws (or use the state's default rules) and provide a resolution authorizing the opening of and officers' signing power over the account.
This is only a quick summary of how number of other Silicon Valley startups have gone through the early stages of the process and should not be taken as legal advice.
share|improve this answer
Without (a) seeing the documents, (b) knowing whom the lawyer was representing, and (c) knowing the founders' prior agreements or understandings, it is impossible to say whether the documents were prepared "correctly" or in accordance with "standard procedure".
What matters, ultimately, is that the founders are issued the appropriate number of shares and elect the appropriate directors, and that the directors appoint the appropriate officers - all of the foregoing in accordance with appropriate bylaws and shareholder and board resolutions.
Final point: You should pose your question to the lawyer who prepared the documents.

British Merchant MarineEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
England Merchant Marine
A merchant mariner worked aboard commercial or merchant vessels. You may want to search merchant shipping records if you find one of the following terms in records about your ancestor: captain, mariner, seaman, mate, boatswain (bosun), or super cargo.
The Board of Trade (BT), Registrar of Shipping and Seamen (RGSS) and the Register Office of Merchant Seamen kept merchant marine records. Some are discussed here. The National Archives classification numbers are added for convenience. For more detail on availability and accessibility of merchant maritime records and their indexes, go to this article on Using British Merchant Marine Records.
Ship’s Muster Rolls and Agreements and Crew Lists (BT 98). The ship master had to carry a written agreement with every crew member stating his wages, the capacity in which he was serving, and the nature of the voyage. These records were kept from 1747 to 1860. Pre-1854 records are arranged by port and ship number. Post-1854 records are arranged by ship number. Lloyd’s Marine Collection can provide the ship number.
Lloyd’s Marine Collection. This collection contains several types of records, including captains’ registers, 1869–1947. These show the captain’s birth date and place, certificate number, examination date and place, the vessels on which he served, and death date. More information about this collection is in:
Hall, Christopher A. A Guide to the Lloyd’s Marine Collection at the Guildhall Library. London, England: Guildhall Library, 1985. (FHL book 942.1/L1 A3hc.)
Register of Seamen (BT 112, 119, 120). These registers contain copies of the certificates issued to individuals authorizing them to serve on a ship. The registers exist for the years 1835 to 1856 and give the man’s age, birthplace, date of first going to sea, rank, service record, and the ship’s name. Those from 1844 to 1856 give a physical description of the man. The registers for some years are indexed.
Births, Deaths, and Marriages Occurring On Board British Merchant Vessels (BT 158–60). Shipboard events were recorded in a ship’s log. They cover the years 1854 to 1890. Some of these records are indexed.
Surname Index to the 1861 Census Returns of Ships. This is an alphabetical list (FHL fiche 6025598, eight fiche) of all people who were on board naval, merchant, and smaller vessels when the 1861 census was taken. These ships are not emigrant ships. The few passengers listed are usually family members of the crew. The information includes name, age, occupation, birthplace, name of the ship, and reference numbers for finding the records either in the Family Record Centre (see England Archives and Libraries for the address) or in the Family History Library.
Census returns for other years include lists of persons on board ships. They are filed with the returns of the port city where the ship was docked.
Trinity House Petitions. These appeals for relief from poverty-stricken merchant seamen or their widows exist for 1609 to 1950 and often include birth, marriage, and death information. There are several Trinity Houses in Great Britain. Some of the records are indexed. For an index to the petitions for the London hospital, see:
The Trinity House Petitions. London, England: Society of Genealogists, 1987. (FHL book 942 U3tr).
To view some of the records available at the Family History Library, see the Family History Library Catalog.
Certificates of Competency and Service: Masters, Mates, and Engineers (BT 121–27, 139–42). If a man wanted to become a master or mate, he had to take an examination. A certificate showing the name, the date and place of birth, and the date and place the certificate was issued was given to the man after the examination. Registers were kept of these certificates. They start in 1845, but few were kept until compulsory registration in 1850.
Two valuable pamphlets on researching merchant marine records are:
Records of the Registrar General of Shipping and Seamen. London, England: Public Record Office, 1983. (FHL book 942.1/L1 A3pa no. 5.) Discusses records available at The National archives.
Watts, Christopher T., and Michael J. Watts. My Ancestor was a Merchant Seaman: How can I find out more about Him? London, England: Society of Genealogists, 1986. (FHL book 942 U37w. BYU Harold B Lee library book CS 432 .M46 W38 1986.) This guide explains contents of a variety of records as they relate to the merchant seaman, including Lloyd’s Marine Collection.
Deaths at sea. For Marine deaths see BT or Board of Trade registers 158-160 (above); other records indicating records of seaman who died at sea are available in the United Kingdom and at the Family History Library. The place where the seaman came from is often included. Additional records are listed in the Place Search of the Family History Library Catalog and are found under:
GREAT BRITAIN - CIVIL REGISTRATION
For indexes, also see--
GREAT BRITAIN - CIVIL REGISTRATION - INDEXES
How to Find Records in the Family History Library
The Family History Library has copies of the captains’ registers, Trinity House petitions, and all Board of Trade records discussed here except the Certificates of Competency and Service. The Board of Trade records are now housed in the The National Archives. Lloyd’s Marine Collection is in the Guildhall Library. The merchant marine records in the Family History Library are listed in the Place Search of the Family History Library Catalog under one of the following:

A Feed for Unread Gmail Messages
Gmail has a very cool feature not available in other webmail applications: feeds for unread messages. For example, the feed http://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom/ shows the most recent unread items from your inbox. Gmail also offers feeds for your labels: http://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom/labelname/, but it would be nice to have a comprehensive listing of all the unread messages, not just the ones that have a certain label. As you probably know, "unread" is one of the many built-in labels in Gmail, so you can use it to obtain this feed: http://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom/unread/. In the URLs above, you can replace "http" with "https" for more security.
Gmail's feeds require authentication, so they don't work in many feed readers, like Google Reader or iGoogle. There are some feed readers that support password-protected feeds:
Browsers
* assuming you're logged in to your Gmail account, you can add any of the feeds to Firefox's Live Bookmarks (this is more like a workaround than true support for authenticated feeds)
* you can subscribe to the feeds in Opera if you don't like the built-in mail client
Desktop feed readers
* some desktop feed readers listed by Google that support Atom 0.3, SSL/HTTPS, and HTTP authentication
Online feed readers
* Netvibes is a notable example of online feed reader that supports authenticated feeds
Gmail recommends to make sure that the feed's content is private. "Keep in mind when you subscribe to your Gmail feed that some aggregators allow you to share, syndicate, or otherwise re-publish the feeds you subscribe to. This means that even though your Gmail feed is private, its contents could be made public through one of these methods. So you'll want to double-check the privacy settings in your aggregator to make sure you aren't sharing any information you don't want to."

Happy New Year! Feliz Ano Novo!
Posting has been a little slow this week since I am away on vacation, but I wanted to take the time to wish you all a happy new year, and to thank you for making this such a great year for me in terms of work. We started 2010 shooting what became the first issue of Made In Brazil Magazine, and if it weren't for your support and for all of you who purchased a copy of that issue, we would have not had the chance to do it again, and to be working on the third one already. I am very blessed that I get to do a work I love every day, and cannot thank you enough for allowing me to do it.
We are already developing lots of new features for Made In Brazil for 2011, and will also be debuting a brand new design very soon, taking all your comments this of past year into consideration.
If you happen to be in Brazil, remember to wear white tonight. Have a great new year!

Growth Curve
Part of our dry lab team concentrated on modelling the growth curve of B. subtilis. This is important to characterise the chassis; particularly, the growth of subtilis is a vital parameter for planning experiments for future projects. Characterisation increases the predictability of the growth of B. subtilis by determining, for example, its growth rate and the duration of its distinctive growth phases. In order to model the growth of B. subtilis, the process was broken down into three main steps, where a separate submodel is produced in MATLAB for each step. Each submodel is an ODE model, which can be simulated using MATLAB. The variables in each submodel can be adjusted according to the boundary conditions (from experimental results).
In the final step, a combination of Submodels 1 and 2 are superposed with Submodel 3, resulting in a more complex model which enhances the accuracy of illustrating bacterial growth. For more details about the submodels, please click on the following links:
Tutorial for Growth Curve (More details about each submodel)
Media:Modelling_Growth_Curve.pdf (The tutorial questions)
The graph on the right shows the log graph used to determine the growth rate.
Key Phases of Bacterial Growth
Lag Phase
During the lag phase, the rate of growth is slow due to two main reasons, B. subtilis is absorbing nutrients in the medium and the replication machinery is being switched on. The higher the concentration of nutrients in the medium, the faster the rate of bateria growth.
As a result, the volume of the bacteria increases, followed by an increase in the number of bacteria.
Exponential Phase
Both colony number and cell volume increase exponentially during this phase. Our model assumes concentration of the nutrients inside the bacteria is constant.
Stationary Phase
The growth of the colony ceases in number and in volume due to a finite concentration of nutrients, hence it does not have a gradient. Other causes may be death and cell division.
According to the model, the maximum growth of the bacteria is determined by the concentration of nutrients available initially.
To further enhance the accuracy of the model, the following information will be extracted from experimental data:
• Time span of lag phase, stationary phase and exponential phase
• The growth rate
Results
The model for the growth curve was fitted to the experimental results as shown below. The experimental results is depicted by the red curve, while our model is shown by the green curve. The resource curve was also plotted as a function of time and is shown below. Based on our experimental results from the Wet Lab, a log graph was plotted to determine the growth rate. The growth rate was then determined from the gradient of the log graph. This value was included when simulating the growth model using MATLAB.
Experimental Results
Fitted Curve
Resource Curve
The following constants used to generate the model were found to yield the best fit to experimental results.
GROWTH CONSTANT (A): 1.3494
INITIAL NUTRIENT CONCENTRATION (R0): 2
HILL COEFFICIENT (n): 1.25
INITIAL OD: 0.4
CONSTANT (α): 0.64516
The Model
The model illustrates the main growth phases the B. subtilis undergoes. These are identified as the lag phase, the exponential phase and the stationary phase. The death phase is a constitutive event and it is possible that it exerts an influence on the three phases discussed below. However, to simplify a complicated model, it is less relevant in this case and therefore is not included in this model.
The M-file used to generate the model below is located in the Appendices section of the Dry Lab hub.

Research
The goal of the Pecinka lab is to understand molecular mechanisms shaping plant genomes. To this end we use the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and several other Brassicaceae and analyze them by using forward and reverse genetics, molecular, biochemical, cytogenetic and bioinformatic methods.
Pecinka lab is hosted by the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, Germany.
Our wiki site was developed under OpenWetWare, an open access effort to promote sharing of information among biologists.

Social Media in Medicine Course: Week 4, Medical blogging
My university course at the Semmelweis University has been running with a great audience since early September and last week the topic was medical blogging. Students have a lot of questions and they seem to like these topics. Fortunately, the materials, hand-outs, the presentations are published on The Social MEDia Course as well as a test through which they can see how much they learnt.
Next week, I’m going to talk about microblogging with a special focus on Twitter from the medical perspective with many examples.

Boris Karloff's 10 Best Roles, Besides You-Know-Who
Astute Vault-Dwellers (I know you're out there) will note that I usually do top 10 lists on Tuesdays, not Thursdays. However, this is a special occasion--namely the Boris Karloff Blogathon, hosted by Pierre Fournier of Frankensteinia. And since I wasn't able to do it on Tuesday due to Ms. Horror Blogosphere duties (polls now open, by the way, please vote), I'm breaking the rules and doing a Thursday Top 10.
You're probably reading a lot of posts about Karloff's portrayal of the Frankenstein Monster in James Whale's 1931 masterpiece. And rightfully so, this being the week of Karloff's birthday, and that being his most deservedly famous movie role. It made his career, and stands as perhaps the single greatest pantomime performance in the history of cinema. Yet Karloff was a fine actor who did so much more in later years, and that is why I'm dedicating this list to the "best of the rest" of his legendary career...
10. Gruesome
For someone with his "unique" look, it was only natural for Karloff to play one of Dick Tracy's trademark rogue's gallery, which he finally did in Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome (1947)--the fourth and final of RKO's Dick Tracy movie series (and generally considered to be the best). While not one of his finest movies, it's notable for the novelty of Karloff as a comic strip villain.
9. Prof. Morlant
The Ghoul (1933) is often referred to as the film that kicked off the British horror film tradition, and what better way to do so than with Karloff as a vengeful Egyptologist back from the dead. Amongst a stellar cast including Cedric Harwicke, Ernest "Dr. Pretorius" Thesiger and a young Ralph Richardson, Boris still stands out.
8. Dr. Fu-Manchu
Politically correct, shmolitically shmorrect. Karloff shines as the devious Mandarin mastermind in The Mask of Fu Manchu (1932). Unlike Christopher Lee, who played the part several times in the 1960s for Hammer, this was Karloff's only appearance as the good doctor--Paramount's answer to the successful early 1930s MGM series starring Warner Oland.
7. Master George Sims
For the last of his Val Lewton trilogy, Bedlam (1946), Karloff plays the corrupt, sniveling director of the titular mental institution. By turns sadistic, manipulative and cowardly, he excels as the true highlight of one of Lewton's drier efforts. Plus, it's just very cool to see him stomping around in 18th century garb.
6. Dr. Gustav Niemann
The least known and appreciated of Karloff's parts for Universal's monster series, which is unfortunate. As the proverbial "mad scientist" in House of Frankenstein (1944), Karloff is deliciously evil, proving--more than a dozen years after kicking off the series in the role of the Monster--that he still had it. He also gets a kick-ass hunchback assistant in J. Carrol Naish.
5. The Grinch
You had to know it was coming, and no, this is not a mere sentimental favorite from childhood. Anyone who's seen Chuck Jones' immortal animated TV special How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966) can vouch for just how remarkable Karloff is as the voice of the green guy. So much so, that Jim Carrey hamfistedly aped him in the abysmal 2000 live action adaptation.
4. Hjalmar Poelzig
With a name like that, he better be good--and Karloff is much more than that in The Black Cat (1934) arguably the greatest of his team-ups with fellow monster legend Bela Lugosi. Boris plays a sinister Satan-worshipper (with a very rad haircut, I might add)--quite a daring part which would soon become dicier territory thanks to the rise of the Hays Committee.
3. Imhotep/Ardath Bay
Karloff's "other" great Universal monster role, and you might be surprised that it's not my number one here. As excellent as he is in the dual starring role of The Mummy (1932), I would argue that this particular Uni effort is one of the studio's more overrated. In particular, there are two other Karloff roles I personally prefer. And they are...
2. Jonathan Brewster
This one's kind of tricky. The unforgettable role was written for Karloff, who played it on Broadway in 1941 to rave reviews. Preferring to support the stage production, however, he declined to play the part in the film version. He did, however, play it in three different TV versions in 1949, 1955 and 1962. I love this character, and rank it high based on the legendary word-of-mouth regarding Karloff's performance. Had I been fortunate enough to see it live, I would have easily placed it at number one.
1. Cabman John Gray
Having said that, the role I do choose for number one is this one, from the first of his Lewton films, The Body Snatcher. As I elaborated in my recent review of the movie, Karloff is simply awe-inspiring as the menacing John Gray. But this is no two-dimensional villain part--rather, it's a complex and nuanced performance which Karloff digs into with great gusto. For my money, this is his finest hour outside of his iconic role as the Monster in the first three Frankenstein pictures. Simply puy, it is classic Karloff.

For other places with the same name, see Dayton (disambiguation).
Flyover is a sculpture that retraces the path of the Wright Brothers' first powered airplane flight--located in downtown Dayton.
Dayton is a city of 166,179 in Southwest Ohio. It is the center of the Dayton-Springfield-Greenville, Ohio metro area with a 2006 population of 1,085,094.
Contents
Understand
Dayton is known as the Gem City and it's no wonder. In addition to being the birthplace of aviation (the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, lived here and perfected their design for the first practical aircraft), it is also home to one of the few multi-site National Parks in the U.S.- the Dayton Aviation Heritage Park. There are several things to do and see in the region; the city itself and the suburbs that surround.
Climate
Dayton has a humid continental climate, which means, like the rest of Ohio, sees four very distinct seasons.
Climate Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
Daily highs (°F) 34 38 49 61 71 80 84 82 76 64 50 39
Nightly lows (°F) 19 22 31 40 51 60 64 62 55 44 34 24
Precipitation (in) 2.6 2.3 3.3 4.0 4.2 4.2 3.8 3.5 2.7 2.7 3.3 2.0
Winter
being situated in the Midwest, winters are cold. Snowfall isn't particulary excessive; but it can at times fall at a rate that will cause havoc with traffic.
Spring
often cool, with cold and mild days sprinkled throughout the period. Storms during this period may produce tornadoes.
Summer
characteristically hot and humid. While the thermometer may read one number in the summer, it will often feel hotter due to humidity.
Autumn
Autumn in Dayton and Southwest Ohio is usually cool, but an extension of summer-like days into this season is possible. Storms seem to increase during this season too, which, due to the fluctuation of temperatures can produce extremely dangerous storms with the potential of producing tornadoes late into the year.
Get in
By plane
• James M. Cox Dayton International Airport, 3600 Terminal Dr (Vandalia), +1 937 454-8200, [1]. James M. Cox Dayton International Airport (DAY, KDAY) is in the northern part of the metropolitan area. Nonstop service is available from Atlanta, Baltimore, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Newark, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. (IAD and DCA). Dayton is the nation's number one 90-minute air market, meaning the city can be reached in 90 minutes or less by 55 percent of the population. A surprising and very nice feature is free wifi, which can be accessed under the name of "public" in the airport. There is no public bus service going to the airport at this time. This makes the Dayton International Airport the second-busiest airport in the continental United States without a public transportation option. Cabs from the downtown area to the airport cost at least $30.
By car
• Interstates 70 and 75, major cross-country routes, meet just north of Dayton near the airport, making Dayton easily accessible by car from almost anywhere in the region.
• I-75 runs from north to south through downtown Dayton. Dayton is less than one hour from Cincinnati and about two and a half hours from Toledo on this road.
• I-70 runs east to west across the northern part of the Dayton area. To the west, Indianapolis is about two hours away; to the east, Columbus is about one hour away.
• I-675 is an eastern interstate by-pass for Dayton that connects with I-70 at the north end and I-75 at the south end.
• U.S. 35 is another important expressway, providing access primarily from places to the east and southeast. The road has been improved to a limited-access freeway as far east as Chillicothe, making Charleston, West Virginia only 4 hours away to the south and east.
By bus
• Greyhound, 2075, +1 937 837-6251, [2]. Ticket office and station 5AM-11PM daily.
Get around
Travel in the region is easy by car and you can move from the urban city to the rural county in minutes. The Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority [3] has a number of convenient bus routes (including electric trolley bus service) within Montgomery County if that's your pleasure, but in general, travel by automobile offers the best flexibility.

Kid Activity To Try: Salt Dough
I stumbled on a book at the library about Salt Dough, and it seems like it would be the perfect kid crafting activity. Apparently Salt Dough is a make-at-home modeling clay created from flour (2 cups), salt (1 cup) and water (3/4 cup). I love that no special ingredients are needed. Just mix ingredients, knead, shape and bake.
Next time we're stuck indoors and need a fun activity, I hope to bust this one out.
More details on the recipe and a video demo can be found here.

Southern Pacific RailroadEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
Revision as of 17:55, 6 July 2009 by DiltsGD (Talk | contribs)
Southern Pacific tracks in 1918.
United States > Migration > Railroads > Southern Pacific Railroad
The Southern Pacific Railroad (combined with other railroads) was part of the second, third, and fourth railroads to offer "transcontinental" service in the United States and Canada. In 1883 Southern Pacific's own tracks connected New Orleans, Louisiana, to California. Settlers were attracted to nearby communities because the railroads provided access to markets. Railroads encouraged settlement along their routes to help increase the need for their service. For example, the Southern Pacific built significant hospitals in Tucson, San Francisco, and other towns.[1] If an ancestor settled near a railroad, you may be able to trace their place of origin back to another place along the tracks.
Contents
Historical Background
The United States bought the Gadsden Purchase (Arizona and New Mexico south of the Gila River) from Mexico in 1853 to have a snow-free route between California and the rest of theUnited States. The Butterfield Overland Mail (Wells Fargo stage coach route), and later the Southern Pacific Railroad both made use of Gadsden land.[2]
The Southern Pacific Company was formed in 1865 to link San Francisco and San Diego, California by rail. By 1877 they were building track east into Yuma, Arizona and headed for New Mexico and Texas.[3] In March 1881 the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway connected with Southern Pacific lines at Deming, New Mexco to form the second transcontinental line. A few months later, in December 1881 the Southern Pacific linked with the Texas and Pacfic Railway at Sierra Blanca, Texas to form the third "transcontinental" railroad. Fourteen months later in February 1883 the Southern Pacific completed an expensive low bridge over the Pecos River in Texas linking New Orleans, Louisiana to Los Angeles, California entirely on its own tracks (fourth transcontinental line).[4] In 1892 Southern Pacific eliminated 11 miles of steep and curvy grades on its Sunset Route in Texas by building a new Pecos Viaduct (high bridge) 5 mile further north near Langtry, Texas, for many years the highest bridge in America. This viaduct was replaced with a new railroad bridge including all concrete piers in 1944.[5]
Route
From east to west some of the most signficant towns on the route are:
Routes in Oregon and the old Central Pacific tracks to through Nevada to Ogden, Utah also were controlled at various times by the Southern Pacific Company.[6]
Settlers and Records
Settlers who made their way west on the Southern Pacific were likely to be from the southern states, especially Louisiana and Texas. However, via the Texas and Pacific Railway link to St. Louis, Missouri, and the Atcheson, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway link to Chicago, Illinois many settlers using the Southern Pacific Railroad in New Mexico, Arizona, and California could also have come from Midwestern states as well.
There are no known passenger lists for the Southern Pacific Railroad.

JAIPUR: The ravines of Chambal, known for being the hideout of dacoits, may finally get to witness some positive growth indicators.
At least that's what chief minister Ashok Gehlot's budget allocation for the agricultural sector envisions. The budget has drawn up an ambitious plan of leveling the land along the Chambal so that it could be allocated to people without farm land in the area. By providing them an alternate source of livelihood the government wants to ensure that people stay away from joining dacoits. The budget has earmarked Rs 25 crore for the leveling work.
The South Delhi Municipal Corporation’s composting plant in Okhla received Rs.25 lakh as carbon credits from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Organic foods are not healthier or better for the environment – and they’re packed with pesticides, argued Rob Johnston in his article “The great organic myths” published in these columns on August
New Delhi:Hooked to organic food for its supposed health benefits? Here’s some food for thought.
Chandigarh : A consumer-farmer cooperative will soon be set up in the city to provide affordable organic food to consumers, who will also be stakeholders in the farms.
Rice can be a major source of inorganic arsenic (Asi) for many sub-populations. Rice products are also used as ingredients in prepared foods, some of which may not be obviously rice based. Organic brown rice syrup (OBRS) is used as a sweetener in organic food products as an alternative to high-fructose corn syrup. We hypothesized that OBRS introduces As into these products.

Federal & Local Law Enforcement Agencies Try to Take Family Motel from Innocent Owners
October 4, 2011
By
Imagine you own a million-dollar piece of property free and clear, but then the federal government and local law enforcement agents announce that they are going to take it from you, not compensate you one dime, and then use the money they get from selling your land to pad their budgets—all this even though you have never so much as been accused of a crime, let alone convicted of one.

Published: 17 May 2011
Abstract
A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) scheme is proposed in which the local phase modulations of the coupled plasmons can interfere and yield phase-sensitive intensity modulations in the measured signal. The result is an increased traceability of the SPR shifts for biosensing applications. The main system limitation is the propagation distance of the coupled plasmon modes. This aspect is therefore studied for thin film microstructures operating in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions. The surface roughness of the substrate layer is examined for different dielectrics and deposition methods. The Au layer, on which the plasmonic modes are propagating and the biosensing occurs, is also examined. The surface roughness and dielectric values for various deposition rates of very thin Au films are measured. We also investigate an interferometric SPR setup where, due to the power flux transfer between plasmon modes, the specific choice of grating coupler can either decrease or increase the plasmon propagation length.

Proposal for Thursday 12/15 General Assembly: OWS Medics
Posted by & filed under Assemblies, Past Proposals.
Occupy Wall Street Medics Proposed Budget – December 13, 2011:
As the primary medical support team for political actions of OWS, and also providing medical care at housing locations and wherever occupiers are found (when possible), including being an integral part of jail support operations, we have been working a great deal to keep occupiers healthy and safe while making their voices heard. That being said, we accumulate a number of expenses in the process, and as we no longer have a defined budget as the Medical working group, this proposal is to establish a new budget for us to provide the best care we can.
Our costs are divided among transportation for medics to and from actions and other sites; general medical supplies like bandages, emergency blankets and cough drops; field equipment like packs for our supplies; on-the-go meals for us to stay capable and alert while deployed (we are often in the field for twelve hours at a time or more); supporting a convergence space where medics can operate or dispatch system, rest, resupply, and recharge (most especially those working overnights, which prevents them from sleeping at the occupation housing spaces); administrative expenses like our dispatch phone and photocopies; plus some miscellaneous expenses and a small reserve fund for emergencies.
Our estimated weekly financial need is $1,100, which we do not expect to use in full except when emergencies or other circumstances demand it. The largest of our expenses by a wide margin is transportation. We also seek to reimburse expenditures made by medics toward the occupation (within our budget, of course) so that medics can feel confident that an important purchase can be made on the spot and that it will be accounted for at any later date, because we are often scattered and on different schedules, so coordinating reimbursement has been a challenge.. A complete breakdown of our estimated costs is as follows:
Item Description Estimated Maximum Weekly Expense
Transportation Metrocards, etc. $400.00
Medical Consumable Supplies Wound care, cough drops, vitamins, etc. $100.00
Equipment Medical bags and tools, organizational containers, etc. $100.00
Convergence Space Expenses Cleaning supplies, organizational furniture for supplies, bulk foods, etc. $200.00
Administrative Expenses Dispatch phone bill, photocopies and printed materials, etc. $50.00
Miscellaneous Expenses and Emergency Funds Patient needs, nutritious food for jail releasees, trainings, medications, emergency patient transport, etc. $250.00
TOTAL $1100.00
In all cases wherever possible, we strive to make our purchases ethically, carefully, and with all reasonable thrift while still providing the best care possible for the occupiers. Wherever practical, our money is spent at small, local businesses that provide the most benefit to our communities.
As our needs change unpredictably, and emergencies occur at inopportune times, this budget is necessary to ensure that we will capably meet whatever challenges emerge in working to keep OWS healthy and safe.
We’ll see you in the streets – and don’t forget to stay hydrated!
- The OWS Medics

Eliminate the Minimum Wage Subsidy to Big Business
by Stephan Kinsella on August 31, 2011
in Libertarianism
Often people will decry tax breaks to certain businesses or industries on the grounds that this amounts to a “subsidy.” Of course it is false that letting people keep more of their money is a subsidy, but it is true that unequal tax rates (or breaks) can distort the market and benefit the more lightly-taxed business relative to more heavily-taxed ones. In any case, because of the distorting effect of tax breaks, various progressives and light-socialists label them subsidies and on this ground urge their abolition–i.e., to raise taxes on those taxed more lightly to equalize the tax burden (when the appropriate solution is to lower taxes on those more heavily taxed).
But if you go by the logic of the raise-taxes-by-closing-loopholes socialistic crowd, what about regulations that help big business by disproportionately harming smaller companies? For example FDA regulations, patent law, pro-union legislation, environmental regulations, and the minimum wage. The costs of these socialistic regulations are more easily borne by larger companies than by smaller ones. Case in point, Walmart has pushed for a higher minimum wage. But Walmart already pays above minimum wage, so raising it would barely affect them. But it would impose costs on various Walmart competitors. So Walmart gets to advocate for what looks like social justice, while hobbling its competition. Clearly the minimum wage (and other regulations) is a subsidy to big business, following the logic of those who oppose tax loophole “subsidies,” and thus ought to be eradicated.

Maester duity to the realm
The maesters are an order of scholars, healers, postmen, and scientists who are trained at a school called the Citadel. House Hightower was integral in the Citadel's foundation, and continues to patronize the order. As advisers to the Westerosi nobility, the maesters have largely supplanted the Alchemists' Guild. They are sometimes called "the knights of the mind."
Contents
The Citadel
The Citadel is an impressive structure in the city of Oldtown, and is considered the home of all maesters. Here they undergo all of their training from the time they arrive as novices until they have achieved the status of maester. At the entrance of the Citadel are green marble sphinxes.
Organization
The maesters are scholars, scientists, learned advisors to the nobility, and occasionally pseudo-religious researchers in the occult. Males of any age may begin training as a maester; females are not permitted to study or join the order. Noble families in Westeros sometimes send their younger sons to the Citadel. A bastard may study at the Citadel and become a maester. The maesters, like the brothers of the Night's Watch, are considered to be servants of Westeros and all its people and in theory have no political allegiance. After finishing his course of study, a maester is assigned to a castle, keep or other holding, and is loyal to the people of that place as a mentor, healer and adviser, regardless of changes in control of that holding. To this end a man who earns his chain is stripped of his family name and from that time on is known only by his title and first name. In practice some maesters hold over old allegiances and loyalties.
Grand Maester
The Grand Maester is considered the senior member of the Order and serves as its representative to the King. He can only be made or unmade by the Conclave.[1] He sits on the Small council and acts as the King's adviser. The Grand Maester wears many interwoven maester chains to indicate his high office, but these do not reflect his true studies. Gems are woven into the chains.[2]
Pycelle has served in the office for over forty years, though his loyalties lie with House Lannister rather than the realm. His advanced age has slowed him down, and he often dozes off during small council meetings. He was thrown in the dungeons of the Red Keep by Tyrion Lannister, but Tywin Lannister recalled him to his duties when it appeared the Citadel was going to replace him with Maester Gormon, formerly of House Tyrell. After his imprisonment Cersei perceives him as a broken man, but in spite of his past failings in court intrigue, Pycelle successfully seizes control of King Tommen I and the council after Cersei's arrest by the High Sparrow, offering Kevan Lannister the regency. As they attempt to fix Cersei's follies, Pycelle and Kevan are both assassinated by Varys, the former Master of Whisperers.
Archmaester
The perceived "master" of any area of study is given a mask, ring or rod and the title Archmaester in the corresponding metal to signify his expertise. For example, an archmaester who specializes in ravenry will have a mask, ring or rod made of black iron. Archmaesters are the senior members of the Order and are given the right to sit on the Conclave. The Conclave is the governing body of the Citadel and is the same body that elects the Grand Maester. All the meetings of the Conclave are confidential in nature and conducted behind closed doors at the Citadel only.
Marwyn the Mage is the order's leading researcher into the occult and magic. For his strange pursuits and gruff manner he is ostracized by others in the Citadel.
Seneschal
The Seneschal is chosen from among the archmaesters by lot. A new one is chosen each year. The Seneschal is tasked with the governance of the Citadel. Most archmaesters consider it a thankless task that takes them away from their true calling.[3]
Traditions and Culture
Maester taking the oath
Maesters begin their training as novices in the Citadel. Once they begin their study and have been seen as proficient in a particular course of study they are tested and awarded a link of a certain metal to reflect their skill and knowledge. A student with a link is known as an acolyte until he has a full chain; it is not until he has completed extensive study in various subjects and has earned enough links to form a chain (to be worn around the neck) that he is considered worthy of advancement to the title of Maester, no longer a student but a peer. The night before the acolytes swear their vows to become maesters, they must stand a vigil in a vault with a black Glass candle. He is allowed no lantern or any other source of light. Unless he can light the candle, he will spend the night in total darkness.[4] There have been whispers that the maesters have held much more power and sway than they are ready to admit. Archmaester Marwyn suspects that they had a role in the demise of House Targaryen's Dragons. Some consider most maesters to be categorically opposed to magic and its influence on Westeros.
The collar
Iron link for studies in the field of Warcraft, Art by Tim Durning ©
The collar signifies that maesters do not serve themselves, but are instead servants of all of Westeros. The collar consists of several links of different types of metal. These chains are formed from every metal known to man, but almost no maester will ever wear them all. Maesters do not remove the chain ever, not even when sleeping.[5]
According to semi-canon sources, it is possible to earn multiple links of the same metal.[6]
These metals include:
Practices and observances
Maester studies
Maesters chiefly communicate through messenger ravens. These ravens are trained specifically for one route; for example, for a message that must be sent to Castle Black, the maester uses the raven from the Castle Black cage. One of the typical duties of a maester is care of a keep's ravens. A special breed of white ravens that are larger and more intelligent than average are maintained at the Citadel for important communications. Maesters also constantly monitor the seasons. When the seasons are about to change, they send white ravens to spread the announcement throughout the realm.[8] Maesters who are skilled in astronomy often watch the skies and study constellations. When the red comet appeared during the events of the War of the Five Kings, the maesters were among the first to notice.

Dykes on Bikes opposition fails on appeal
The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in the US of A has ruled that an application for DYKES ON BIKES as a trade mark by the San Francisco Women’s Motorcycle Contingent cannot be barred from registration on morality grounds. The application was made by a group of lesbian bikers who lead the annual San Francisco gay pride march, and was turned down twice by the USPTO.
The decision itself is rather narrow. The CAFC never actually deals with whether the mark actually is immoral or offensive. Instead, the decision is based on whether the opponent had standing to oppose the mark.
The opposition was brought by one Michael McDermott, who argued that the mark, by including the term ‘dykes’ was disparaging, and also that the mark was scandalous because it was associated by a pattern of illegal activity undertaken by the applicants.
According to the court’s past case law, to have standing in opposition proceedings, a party must have (i) a real interest in the proceedings and (ii) reasonable basis for his belief that he would be damaged by registration. A previous finding that McDermott had a real interest went unopposed by the trade mark applicants, and so the case turned on whether he had a reasonable basis for his belief that he would be damaged by the registration.
The CAFC found that he had no such basis for the simple reason that he was a man, and so was not ‘implicated’ by the term ‘dykes’. Additonally, there was no evidence that others in a similar position to McDermott believed that they would be damaged by the mark.
The IPKat says that such a test would appear to make it rather tricky to oppose a trade mark on morality grounds if one isn’t part of the group referred to in the mark. This would make it difficult to oppose a mark on the grounds that a term is hurtful to a specific group, and therefore offensive to society as a whole.

RESONANCE CONDITIONS IN N°.l DOCK OF LUANDA HARBOUR
Fernando Manzanares Abecasis
Abstract
About 900 m of berth length arranged around a single pier are at present available in the port of Luanda. Due to the constant increase of traffic through the port, the "Brigada de Estudos do Porto de Luanda" (Brigade of Stud ies of the Luanda Harbour) decided to prepare a general plan of extension of the port facilities. The extension planned comprises the construction of a new pier, which together with the existing one will delimit a triangular dock - dock n°-.l —, and of a se ries of rectangular basins between the new dock and the area of S.Pedro da Barra fortress (fig.l). The danger of possible resonance phenomena and the fact that this problem can be dealt with before construction begins, led the Brigade to undertake a detailed analysis of it before tak ing decisions on the extension works of the port. This analysis comprised three stages: a) Observation in nature of long-period waves in Luanda bay. b) Analytic study of the behaviour of the planned docks under the action of possible long-period waves . c) Experimental study in model of the same phenomenon. The author, as consulting engineer of the Brigade of Stud ies, programmed observations a) and analysed their results,performed the analytic study b) [l] , [2] , [3] and, as head of the Hydraulic Department of Laboratorio Nacional de Engenharia Ci vil, planned, supervised and interpreted the model studies.

[maemo-developers] Launch maemo browser in fullscreen mode

Yes this brute force approach could work too. You could use uinput
kernel driver (used with serial bluetooth keyboards) to feed proper
F-key to the kernel input subsystem to emulate such key press. Could be
quite easy but you need kernel module not present by default on the device.
Maybe there is better way - using window manager to make the application
full screen via something else than just keypress. Or write something
that does this directly - set X window properties of browser window to
be fullscreen.

The Date to Save Ministry
OK - This must be a joke. My friend Richard turned me on to a concept called missionary dating via The Date to Save Ministry website. Apparently the plan calls for hot girls to date men with the sole intention of converting them to Christ. Can you imagine?
So, I created this web page for information regarding the calling of Missionary Dating. First of all, it helps that you're good looking. Romans 12:1 says "to offer your bodies as living sacrifices." Since our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19), it makes sense that we should use our beautiful bodies to glorify HIS name, the Holy Spirit will work the strongest since He's in our body, right? That's the best position to be in!
Can you imagine? I mean, how fucked up is that? I hope its a joke, but these days you never know.

Analysis of kinetics of walking in solution
From gel, we obtained evidence of the walker reaching equilibrium by walking from one track to another in a solution. Next step is to analyze the kinetics of walking in a solution using SPEX. Since random walking is a reversible process, its rate constant is hard to calculate. Instead, we made an irreversible system using a walker goal. Since walker goal is very similar to the tracks except one toehold of 6nt, the kinetics of random walking in a solution can be approximated by the kinetics of walking to the walker goal.
Walker with quencher and walker goal with fuorophore to test kinetics using SPEX
In this experiment, a quencher is attached at the 3’ end of the walker, and a fluorophore is attached at the 5’ end of the probe for walker goal. When a walker gets to the walker goal, a fluorophore and a quencher are aligned, so the fluorescent level goes down. For the kinetics experiment, 50nM was used as 1x concentration
kinetics experiment of walker moving from the tracks to the walker goal
Above diagram shows a kinetics experiment of walker moving from the tracks to the walker goal. For sample 1 and 2, the preannealed (probe for walker goal fluorophore – walker goal) complex is mixed with the preannealed (walker quencher – track 1/2) complex. Sample 3 is a control; instead of the (walker quencher – track 1/2) complex, a free walker quencher is added to quench every fluorophore in system. Therefore sample 3 provides a maximum and minimum signal level that we can get from the system. Gradual decrease of the signal can be observed in both sample 1 and sample 2, suggesting a walker moving from track 1/2 to the walker goal.
The rate constant of sample 1 and 2 should be within a range of the rate constant of 1 toehold with 6 bases, but results seem to be slow [figure 4]. Exact rate constants have not been calculated yet. The code used to fit the data and to find the rate constant will be able to be used soon. To figure out why this reaction is so slow, we tested various hypotheses.
walker goal irreversibility test
First hypothesis is that walker goal is not completely irreversible. If there is a leak reverse reaction from the walker goal to the track, the quenching rate of quenching will be decreased. To test this hypothesis, the preannealed complex (probe for walker goal – walker goal) was mixed to a free walker making all walkers to reach the walker goal and quench the level to the minimum value. After an hour or so, track 1 or track 2 was added to each tube. If the walker goal is not irreversible, some portion of the walkers should move from the walker goal to the track, and the fluorescent level should increase. Above figure shows no noticeable increase of fluorescent level after adding tracks. Therefore, the walker goal is quite irreversible.
track 1 without the 6 bases of poly-T
track 1 without the probe region
covered up PWG_F strand
Test of spurious interaction between strands
Second hypothesis is the occurrence of spurious interaction between strands. Three strands were designed as shown above: track 1 without the 6 bases of poly-T at the top to avoid interaction between walker arm and poly-T part, track 1 without the probe region, and a strand that is complementary to the staple part of the probe for the walker goal to cover up the exposed staple part of the PWG_F strand. Those three stands were tested independently, but the rate does not change at all as shown in above figure, and thus, there are no apparent undesired interactions. Therefore, we still haven’t figured out why the rate of walking going to the walker goal is slower than expected. The possibility of secondary structure in ‘walker- track1’ complex was not eliminated.
Another probable hypothesis might be the structural anomaly of the walker goal. In the gel, we observed that walker goal runs much slower than expected. This suggests there should be some secondary structures or dimer formation, which reduces the rate.
The purpose of walker goal is to verify random walking on origami using SPEX. If getting to walker goal is harder than moving between tracks, then walker goal will not do its job effectively. Thus to make easily reachable, more irreversible walker goal, toehold of the walker goal was extended. Walker goal extended 1 has 4 more bases, and walker goal extended 2 has 8 more bases. In figure below, we can see that rate of getting to the extended walker goal is a lot faster than previous one, as expected. Thus, extended walker goal would be more effectively used than previous one in the future experiments.

A bit about Euripides ...
Euripides, the youngest of the three great Athenian playwrights, was born around 485 BC of a family of good standing. He first competed in the dramatic festivals in 455 BC, coming only third; his record of success in the tragic competitions is lower than that of either Aeschylus or Sophocles. There is a tradition that he was unpopular, even a recluse; we are told that he composed poetry in a cave by the sea, near Salamis. What is clear from contemporary evidence, however, is that audiences were facinated by his innovative and often disturbing dramas. His work was controversial already in his lifetime, and he himself was regarded as a 'clever' poet, associated with philosophers and other intellectuals. Towards the end of his life he went to live at the court of Archelaus, King of Macedon. It was during his time there that he wrote what many consider his greatest work, the Bacchae. When news of his death reached Athens in early 406 BC, Sophocles appeared publicly in mourning for him. Euripides is thought to have written about ninety-two plays, of which seventeen tragedies and one satyr-play known to be his survive; the other play which is attributed to him, the Rhesus, may in fact be by a later hand.

Right Web
Tracking militarists’ efforts to influence U.S. foreign policy
Jennifer Rubin
• Washington Post: Blogger
• Commentary: Former contributing editor
Please note: IPS Right Web neither represents nor endorses any of the individuals or groups profiled on this site.
Jennifer Rubin—not to be confused with the erstwhile model and Hollywood actress by the same name—is author of the Washington Post’s Right Turn blog, which is known for its militarist, right-wing take on Israeli and U.S. security issues. Called “la Pasionaria of the neocons” by Time’s Joe Klein, Rubin has also contributed to a number of other neoconservative and right-wing outlets, including Commentary, the Weekly Standard, Human Events, the Jerusalem Post, and Pajamas Media.[1]
Rubin often uses her Post perch to attack both Republicans and Democrats whom she deems insufficiently supportive of Israel and weak on U.S. defense. She has attacked Dennis Ross, a former Middle East adviser in the Barack Obama administration known for his decidedly “pro-Israel” advocacy, for being delusional in his willingness to work for Obama[2]; criticized Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for his opposition to the use of torture[3]; and accused Sarah Palin of losing her way on U.S. security policy after parting ways with “experienced neoconservative foreign policy advisers Randy Scheunemann and Michael Goldfarb.”[4]
During the 2012 presidential campaign, Rubin frequently used her column to lavish praise on her favorite candidate[5], Mitt Romney, despite the fact that the candidate took positions often at odds with her own, including with respect to Israel.[6] After Romney’s loss at the polls in November 2012, Rubin blamed an ineffective campaign and Romney’s inability to manage it properly. “Romney’s operation suffered from too many cooks in the kitchen, too much hesitation and too little creativity. For that the candidate ultimately bears responsibility. He did not direct a campaign with the single-minded focus needed to win, at least not until it was too late in the game.”
Some commentators argued that Rubin’s critical post-mortem seemed disingenuous. “At every opportunity,” wrote the Atlantic’s Conor Friedersdorf, “Rubin wrote favorably about Romney and his campaign. And she didn't just get things wrong, sometimes absurdly, she always got them wrong in a way that redounded to Team Romney's benefit. If her goal was striving to inform her right-leaning audience with the truth, she was an abject failure.” Added Friedersdorf, “And that, for all the months she was acting as America's most reliable Romney sycophant, she actually thought his campaign was bumbling? … [Y]ou can't compare her work during the campaign to her post-mortem without concluding that she deliberately misled her readers.”[7]
On Obama
Rubin has consistently attacked President Barack Obama, including on everything from health care reform to foreign policy, typically employing overstatement and personal aversion as the basis of her arguments. In a June 2012 entry that discussed Obama’s performance at the G-20, Rubin wrote: “Obama can't even fake being competent and in command in international affairs. Obama is presiding over the decline of the U.S. everywhere, as [Charles] Krauthammer says, and no one much cares what he says. He is weakness and indecision personified. It is fair to say he is as adrift on foreign policy as he is on domestic affairs, maybe more. The full impact of his diminished importance on the world stage may not be apparent for some time. We hope it won’t come in the form of a smoldering Tel Aviv or a Taliban-run Afghanistan or China’s hegemony in Asia.”[8]
After President Obama’s widely discussed May 2011 Middle East policy speech (as well as his follow up speech at AIPAC)—in which the president reiterated the long-standing U.S. policy that Israeli-Palestinian negotiations should use Israel’s 1967 borders as the starting point for defining a future Palestinian state—Rubin predictably attacked the president in a series of blog posts, arguing that he ignored Israeli concerns, “slurred” President George W. Bush’s “Freedom Agenda,” and demonstrated once again that he is an “apt negotiator on behalf of the Palestinians and a thorn in Israel’s side.”[9]
Rubin also frequently targets Jews who support the Obama administration and exhibit “liberal” tendencies. For instance, Rubin cited the views of Josh Block of the Progressive Policy Institute as an example of why President Obama “must be very certain that liberal Jews will enthusiastically support him no matter what.” Quoting an email from Block in which he characterized Obama’s May 2011 AIPAC speech as “a strong reaffirmation of the US-Israel relationship,” Rubin lamented: “This is the sort of spin that pro-Israel Democrats use to justify voting for Obama.”[10]
Discussing her penchant to attack “liberal Jews,” Ali Gharib wrote in the Columbia Journalism Review in late 2010, “Over the past year, Rubin has—at least four times—quoted, linked to, and endorsed Rachel Abrams’s notion that Jews in America have a ‘sick addiction’ (in Rubin and Abrams’s words) to the Democratic Party. When I asked Rubin about the phrase ‘sick addiction,’ she said her arguments against Jewish support for Democrats were clear from her writings, and cited a book by Norman Podhoretz (Abrams’s stepfather) called Why Are Jews Liberal? In his book, Podhoretz repeatedly laments the ‘stubborn attachment’ of Jews to the Democratic Party, but there is no mention of this being a sickness. There’s a difference there with regard to discourse: one approach aims to explain a lamentable phenomenon, the other seeks to deride it.”[11]
Track Record
Rubin was hired to write Post’s Right Turn blog in November 2010. Previously, Rubin had worked as a labor attorney in Los Angeles, as an editor at Pajamas Media, and as a contributor to Commentary magazine’s Contentions blog. Discussing her work, Commentary editor John Podhoretz wrote, “Jen has labored daily … never missing a news story, never missing an op-ed column, reading everything and digesting everything and commenting on everything.”[12]
In her introductory Right Turn column, Rubin wrote: “What do I believe in? For starters: American exceptionalism, limited government, free markets, a secure and thriving Jewish state, defense of freedom and human rights around the world, enforced borders with a generous legal immigration policy, calling things by their proper names (e.g. Islamic fundamentalism), and recapturing vocabulary (a ‘feminist’ is not the same as a pro-choice activist). Nearly all wisdom is found in the Godfather movies (no, not Part 3!) and the Torah. … I'm a harsh critic of racial preferences, the Middle East ‘peace process’ (which is short on peace-production), Keynesian economics, judicial imperialism, and liberal statism.”[13]
The decision by the Washington Post to hire Rubin in November 2010 was the subject of heated discussion among inside-the-beltway observers. Explaining the move, Post editorial page editor Fred Hiatt wrote, “Jennifer will provide critical news coverage and commentary, with an exacting eye on conservative policy-making and Republican campaigns, pundits and politicians. From a conservative perspective, she also will cover a wide range of foreign and domestic issues and media controversies. We imagine her blog in some ways as a companion to Greg Sargent's Plum Line, though of course with its own style and blend of reporting and analysis.”[14]
A writer for the foreign policy blog Lobelog opined, “While the Post op-ed page still features some smart right-of-center commentary from Charles Krauthammer and George Will, Hiatt has also brought on board a number of party-line hacks like [Marc] Thiessen, Bill Kristol, Michael Gerson, and now Rubin. The fact that Rubin is intended as a counterpart to Sargent is also revealing about the way that ‘balance’ is understood in the mainstream media. Sargent certainly leans liberal, but he is also a very good reporter who breaks stories and is willing to criticize the Democrats; Rubin, by contrast, has no real experience as a reporter (as opposed to commentator) and has never met a Republican or Likud talking point she didn’t like. The dominant feature of Rubin’s politics, of course, is her ultra-hawkish Greater Israel Zionism. … While she is quick to accuse Israel’s critics of anti-Semitism, Rubin is not so fond of actually existing American Jews, whom she views as unpatriotic and insufficiently supportive of Israel.”[15]
Similarly, blogger Eli Clifton wrote, “Jennifer Rubin … claims that her blog offers coverage of ‘politics and policy’ for ‘conservative readers.’ But you’d be excused for thinking that her foremost interest is Israel’s conservative politics and policy.” Clifton cited Rubin’s participation in a February 2011 conference in Israel, which was supported by the William Kristol-led Emergency Committee for Israel (ECI). “The Washington Post’s claim that [Rubin] is representative of the conservative movement is deeply misleading,” wrote Clifton. “Her close relationship with ECI, her gleeful promotion of the ‘military option’ against Iran’s nuclear facilities, and her proclivity towards smearing her opponents as ‘Israel-bashing’ show that Rubin represents the interests and ideology of the hawkish, pro-Israel right-wing.”[16]
Rubin’s writings have covered a broad range of issues, including everything from the tax cuts and Sarah Palin, to Virginia politics and immigration policy. But she is best known for her views on foreign policy and the Middle East, which are squarely ensconced in the hawkish right. Critiquing the tendency of some observers to call Rubin “conservative,” blogger Philip Weiss wrote, “Isn't conservative a misnomer for neoconservative, and blind support for Israel? ... She lives in the U.S. and writes for Commentary and thinks that all of Palestine belongs to the Jews, or some other hokum that rationalizes the killing of Palestinian noncombatants at a rate of one every other day in the Jim Crow Jewish hinterland.”[17]
Rubin’s Right Turn columns are often preoccupied with Israel, even when discussing U.S. domestic politics. For instance, Rubin contributed her voice to a chorus of other neoconservatives who have endeavored to enlist the support of Tea Party politicians, blogging in early December 2010, “The emergence of the Tea Party, a grassroots movement on the right dedicated to fiscal discipline, set up a potential conflict in the Republican Party between hawks and neo-isolationists. As things have panned out, however, the neo-isolationists have largely been routed. This is nowhere more in evidence than with regard to support for Israel.” She then quoted an unnamed “senior Senate aide” who told her, “This is a freshmen class of Republicans whose pro-Israel credentials are beyond dispute by anyone except fierce partisan Democrats and liberal journalists with anti-GOP blinders.”[18]
Rubin has also used her Right Turn blog to venerate neoconservative figures and groups. In one entry, she discussed the work of neocon Democrat Sen. Joseph Lieberman, lauding his efforts to pressure the Obama administration on Iran (although she questioned how he would be able to “pivot” from his focus on sanctions to “a more robust approach that may include the use of force”) and Israeli-Palestinian peace, particularly his efforts to get President Obama to drop the insistence on freezing settlement growth.[19]
In another entry, titled “Time to pull the plug on UN Human Rights Council,” Rubin highlighted “a recent accomplishment” of the Geneva-based UN Watch, a controversial “monitoring” organization led by Hillel Neuer that generally spends its time denouncing the Human Rights Council for its alleged anti-Semitism. Citing a campaign by UN Watch to “out” a UN official because of his purported anti-Israel bias, Rubin wrote, “Now, here's a meaningful move the House Republican leadership could make in the foreign policy realm: Urge the administration to pull out of the [Human Rights Council] and prevent U.S. taxpayer dollars from being used to support it.”[20]
Rubin has also written in support of so-called Christian Zionists groups that espouse views closely in line with those of Israel’s right-wing Likud Party regarding Israeli claims to Palestinian territory. In an August 2010 article for the Weekly Standard titled “Onward, Christian Zionists,” Rubin heralded the work of the right-wing Christian pastor John Hagee and his group Christians United for Israel (CUFI). Describing CUFI’s annual conference, she wrote, “In Washington, D.C.’s convention center they danced the horah, sang Hebrew songs, and waved American and Israeli flags. Charlie Daniels played Hatikvah on his fiddle. It wasn’t a bar mitzvah, or a gathering of the pro-Israel group AIPAC. It was the fifth annual summit of an even larger pro-Israel organization, the nation’s largest: Christians United for Israel, better known as CUFI.” She described Hagee as “a charismatic preacher with a sonorous baritone voice. At the banquet, he held the crowd spellbound, explaining Israel’s plight and the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran. He reminded the crowd that John F. Kennedy went to Berlin at the height of the Cold War, “an outpost of democracy in a sea of tyranny.”[21]
Rubin used the article to explain why, from the neoconservative perspective, it was important to maintain close relationships between the American Jewish community and the Christian Right. Although “among Jews, there remains some skepticism and some outright hostility” towards CUFI, wrote Rubin, she cited Hagee’s view that there had been “progress among those Jews whose support for Israel is grounded in their faith.” She than cited the much maligned former George W. Bush official and convicted Iran Contra principal Elliott Abrams, who said, “American Jews ought to notice that there are actually more evangelicals in this country than Jews by about 20 or 30 to 1. With the Jewish population shrinking as a percentage of the American people, Christians are an increasingly critical base of support for Israel—and groups like CUFI are begging us to accept their help. We should accept it with gratitude and enthusiasm.”[22]
Despite her strident support for rightist groups, Rubin has at times opposed some of the rhetoric espoused by far right groups and individuals. For instance, in a March 2007 article for Politico, she harshly criticized conservative writer Ann Coulter, who Rubin said “has made a career of interspersing insightful and cutting political criticism with outrageous and morally repugnant remarks.” Highlighting some of Coulter’s more divisive comments—like her infamous comment at a Conservative Political Action Conference that “our motto should be post-9-11, ‘rag head talks tough, rag head faces consequences’”—Rubin wrote, “It's about time for a presidential contender, perhaps all of them in the spirit of Newt Gingrich’s crusade for improving public discourse, to say ‘enough.’ Coulter’s never-ending stream of venom is not amusing, unhelpful to Republicans, and not in keeping with the ideals of a party that fancies itself as the proponent of a colorblind society and heir to Lincoln.”[23]

is there a cost for the Ueno Zoo and the Ueno Park?
The park is free, but there is an admission charge for the zoo. While in the area, visit the street market across from the station, and if you are up for a long walk, see old Tokyo by hiking over to the Asakusa Temple in Asakusa. WindHorse 28 Jan 06

Curse You, Noun Gender: After way too much nightly drudgework on NewsBruiser at the expense of all the work I wanted to do, basically all its text is now I18Ned or I18Nable. I managed to do this without sacrificing ease of installation, ease of use, or the decentralized nature of the plugin architecture. Jean-Pierre is still working on actually doing the I18N and the French translations, but he's done with everything except the themes (which were the last piece of the puzzle) and most of the plugins. If you've been wanting to translate NewsBruiser into another language, now's a good time to start.

Energy Information Administration (EIA), United States
Energy Information Administration (EIA), United States
This article has been reviewed by the following Topic Editor: Tom Lawrence
Introduction
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), created by Congress in 1977, is a statistical, modeling, and analysis agency of the U.S. Department of Energy. It provides policy-independent data, forecasts, and analyses to promote policy making, efficient markets, and public understanding regarding energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment. The agency publishes information on prices, supply and demand for all major energy sources, including oil, natural gas, coal, electricity as well as renewable energy [1]. Current and historical data for the U.S. is available in HTML, XLS, and PDF formats. Data on short-term (the next year or so) projections are made on a monthly basis, while longer term projections are available on an annual basis out through the next 25 to 30 years. Annual projections on carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. are also available. Less detailed data are also available for the world in similar formats. Among its more notable publications are the Annual Energy Outlook which forecasts energy market condition 20-25 years out, the Annual Energy Review which includes historical data back to 1949, and the International Energy Annual. These data are available free of charge.
Products and services
The EIA has four types of information products: Energy data, analyses, forecasts, and descriptive information about their products. Many of the products, such as the Petroleum Supply Monthly, deal with specific industries. A broad range of customers look to products that contain data on all fuel types presented in an integrated manner. Some key releases of integrated information are the Monthly Energy Review, the Annual Energy Review, the Short-Term Energy Outlook, and the Annual Energy Outlook.
Most of the energy data actually are collected by EIA staff. EIA designs and sends its statistical surveys to energy producers, users, transporters, and certain other businesses. Companies and households report directly to the EIA, which also collects data from other sources, such as trade associations and other government agencies.
EIA's analysis products are technical reports and articles that analyze issues about energy including economics, technology, energy production, prices, distribution, storage, consumption, and environmental effects.
EIA's forecasts cover all energy types, and include forecasts of supply, consumption, prices, and other important factors. It does a short-term forecast that goes out 6 to 8 quarters in the future, and a midterm forecast that goes out 20 years. Some of EIA's forecasting models are available on the EIA web site.
Other products include directories of all EIA's survey forms, lists of its publications, electronic products and models, a guide to energy education resources, and complete list of energy data contacts (who to call if you have energy questions).
EIA independence
The Department of Energy Organization Act (Public Law 95-91) allows EIA's processes and products to be independent from review by Executive Branch officials; specifically, Section 205(d) says:
"The Administrator shall not be required to obtain the approval of any other officer or employee of the Department in connection with the collection or analysis of any information; nor shall the Administrator be required, prior to publication, to obtain the approval of any other officer or employee of the United States with respect to the substance of any statistical or forecasting technical reports which he has prepared in accordance with law."
Another law, the Paperwork Reduction Act, does require that any data collection proposed by a Federal agency be approved by the Office of Management and Budget. However, the Administrator does not need to get the review and approval of anyone before he publishes any energy report.
Since its beginning, EIA has been challenged by the duty to respect Congress' intent to prepare policy-neutral reports while fulfilling its role as an integrated office within the Department of Energy. EIA has found that complete transparency in the approach, methodology, and results of each of its products has gained the trust of its clients in the Department, the Congress, and elsewhere in the public. It is now recognized by its customers that EIA neither formulates nor advocates any policy conclusions, even though it often supports the Department with analyses and statistics.
To assure this message is explicit, all EIA products carry the following statement:
"This report was prepared by the Energy Information Administration, the independent statistical and analytical agency within the U.S. Department of Energy. The information contained herein should be attributed to the Energy Information Administration and should not be construed as advocating or reflecting any policy of the Department of Energy or of any other organization."
Users of EIA Information
EIA’s data and analyses are used by Federal and state agencies, industry, media, researchers, consumers, and educators. All of EIA’s products can be accessed through its Web site which logs more than 2 million user sessions a month. The Nation’s leaders rely on EIA for timely and comprehensive information to formulate energy policy and programs. Industry looks to EIA for official estimates on energy demand, supply, prices, markets and financial indicators. Media and the general public rely on EIA for of current and historical data and information on all aspects of U.S. energy trends. The international community relies on EIA’s products for timely information on world energy supply and demand. The EIA Kid’s Page provides energy-related information and activities for primary and secondary schools.
Major Laws Affecting EIA
1974: Federal Energy Administration (FEA) Act (P.L. 93-275, 15 USC 761)
Created the FEA and mandated it to collect, assemble, evaluate, and analyze energy information; provide energy information and projections to the Federal Government, State Governments, and the public; and provide Congress with an annual report summarizing these activities. It also provided FEA with data collection enforcement authority for gathering data from energy producing and consuming firms.
1976: Energy Conservation and Production Act (P.L. 94-385, 15 USC 790)
Established within the FEA, the Office of Energy Information and Analysis (which later became the Energy Information Administration (EIA)). This office was to (1) operate a comprehensive National Energy Information System, (2) possess expertise in energy analysis and forecasting, (3) be subject to performance audits by a Professional Audit Review Team, (4) coordinate energy information activities with Federal agencies, (5) promptly provide upon request any energy information to any duly established committee of Congress, and (6) make periodic reports on the energy situation and trends to the Congress and the public.
1977: Department of Energy (DOE) Organization Act (P.L. 95-91, 42 USC 7135)
Established EIA as the single Federal Government authority for energy information. This Act gave EIA independence from the rest of DOE with respect to data collection, and from the whole U. S. Government with respect to the content of EIA reports. It also incorporated all the provisions of the Office of Energy Information and Analysis and established an annual survey to gather and report detailed energy industry financial data.
1992: Energy Policy Act of 1992 (P.L. 102-486, 42 USC 13385)
Required EIA to expand its data gathering and analysis in several areas, including energy consumption, alternative fuels and alternatively-fueled vehicles, greenhouse gas emissions, fossil fuel transportation rates and distribution patterns, electricity production from renewable energy sources, and foreign purchases and imports of uranium.
2005: Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-58, 42 USC 15801 note)
Required EIA to undertake several new activities in the renewable fuels area, including: an inventory of renewable fuels available for consumers and a projection of future inventories; a study of renewable fuel blending; and a monthly survey on renewable fuels production, blending, importation, demand, and prices.

AMERICA/COLOMBIA - "Violence begets violence and it is always an insult to man" Bishop of Barrancabermeja’s appeal
Barrancabermeja (Agenzia Fides) – His Exc. Mgr. Camilo Fernando Castrellón Pizano, S.D.B, Bishop of Barrancabermeja, has launched an appeal to the civil and military authorities, and to the whole community to join efforts in combating the violence that erupted in the area of Barrancabermeja and Magdalena Medio (about 200 km north of the capital, Bogota). "As Bishop of the Diocese of Barrancabermeja, with deep concern, I recently see reports of threats and violent deaths, of which different media have informed public opinion, that shake the core of our being, remembering a past that we do not certainly want to return to," said Mgr. Castrellón in a statement. In the note sent to Fides Agency from the Episcopal Conference, we also read that in a few days, there were 3 killed in the popular districts of the area. There are also "voices" of the the presence of criminal organizations in Magdalena Medio. "Life is sacred and inviolable. Violence begets more violence and it is always an insult to man," said the Bishop in the statement, strongly condemning the violent acts that "constitute an attack against life." He invites people and communities to cooperate with authorities to resolve peacefully, through dialogue, their difficulties. The local press has reported that violence in the area, including cases of abuse and violence against women, can not be attributed to the FARC, but to local crime. (CE) (Agenzia Fides 14/6/2012)

Municipal Bankruptcy: How Mammoth Lakes, CA is Struggling to Provide Essential Services During Default
Chapter 9 is the section of the National Bankruptcy Code that provides for the reorganization of debt incurred by municipalities such as cities, towns, counties, and villages. The very first municipal bankruptcy was filed in the United States in 1934 during the Great Depression. While the provision has been around for 60 years, there have been less than 500 cases. Despite being rare, many contemporary municipalities are considering bankruptcy as an option in the face of falling tax revenues and rising service costs.
While Mammoth Lakes, CA will exhaust all feasible options to stay out of bankruptcy, it seems more and more, like the only way out. On March 23, 2012, the Town was court ordered to pay $42 million to Mammoth Lakes Land Acquisition (MLLA) for breach of contract on an architecture Development Agreement near the town’s Mammoth-Yosemite Airport which was entered into in 1997. The original judgement for $30 million now includes attorney’s fees for MLLA incurred during multiple appeals by the Town as well as 7% interest, plus it’s own legal fees.
Mammoth Lakes, CA will take advantage of a new California state law that mandates municipalities to enter into a process of mediation with creditors before filing for Chapter 9 at the federal level. This process allows each and every creditor to reach an agreement on the repayment of outstanding contracts. This could include contracts with landscape architecture or urban planning consulting firms, business services, etc. Unfortunately, all attempts to reach a sustainable settlement have been futile and MLLA has refused to participate in the mediation process.
Some financial options include organizational restructuring, layoffs, or even a Town Tax on Mammoth Mountain lift ticket prices. While the ultimate fate of Mammoth Lakes, CA has yet to be determined, the Town must find a way to maintain already depleted yet crucial resort community services such as commercial air travel service, local free transit, affordable workforce housing, public safety, and recreational facilities and programming in the face of severe financial insecurity. Other essential services include road maintenance, snow removal, and marketing.
If the Town of Mammoth Lakes, CA wants to maintain industry distinction, it can’t let essential services, for residents or visitors, go down the drain. What other options do you think a small tourism-based economy has to survive past mistakes in fiscal management?

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PC) is the principal malignancy affecting African descent men in the Caribbean and the USA. Disparities in incidence, prevalence, and mortality in these populations are poorly understood. We evaluated the urologic characteristics and sexual behaviors of men with histologically confirmed PC (cases) and age-matched controls in the nationwide Prostate Cancer in a Black Population (PCBP) study conducted in Barbados. Cases were around 1.5 to 3 times more likely to report symptoms of prostatic enlargement, hematuria/hematospermia, and previous prostatitis. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) were similar among cases (24.5%) and controls (26.7%). First sexual intercourse before the age of 16 was associated with an increased likelihood of both low- (Gleason score < 7; OR 1.63; 95% CI: 1.03–1.66) and high-grade PC (Gleason score ≥ 7; OR 1.82; 1.11–2.99). PC risk decreased with later age of sexual debut (). More lifetime sexual partners was associated with increased odds of high grade PC (). The contribution of sexual behaviors to the development and the outcomes of PC is likely due to multiple mechanisms, and further study will be necessary to elucidate the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms in this and similar populations.

Abstract: In this study, Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2 photocatalyst was prepared via a sol-gel method, and Fe3O4 particles were used as the core of the colloid. Diffraction peaks of Fe3O4 crystals are not found by XRD characterization, indicating that Fe3O4 particles are well encapsulated by SiO2. FTIR characterization shows that diffraction peaks of Ti-O-Si chemical bonds become obvious when the Fe3O4 loading is more than 0.5%. SEM characterization indicates that agglomeration occurs in the Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2 photocatalyst, whereas photocatalysts modified by Fe3O4/SiO2 present excellent visible light absorption performance and photocatalytic activity, especially when the Fe3O4 loading is 0.5%. Photocatalytic degradation of glyphosate in soil by these photocatalysts under solar irradiation was investigated. Results show that 0.5% Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2 has the best photocatalytic activity. The best moisture content of soil is 30%~50%. Degradation efficiency of glyphosate reaches 89% in 2 h when the dosage of photocatalyst is 0.4 g/100 g (soil), and it increased slowly when more photocatalyst was used. Soil thickness is a very important factor for the photocatalytic rate. The thinner the soil is, the better the glyphosate degradation is. Degradation of glyphosate is not obviously affected by sunlight intensity when the intensity is below 6 mW/cm2 or above 10 mW/cm2, but it is accelerated significantly when the sunlight intensity increases from 6 mW/cm2 to 10 mW/cm2.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to examine the potential of oscillating nanomagnetic gene transfection systems (magnefect-nano™) for improving the transfection efficiency of NIH3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) in comparison to other non-viral transfection techniques—static magnetofection™ and the cationic lipid agent, Lipofectamine 2000™. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) associated with the plasmid coding for green fluorescent protein (GFP) were used to transfect NIH3T3 cells. The magnefect-nano system was evaluated for transfection efficiency, and any potential associated effects on cell viability were investigated. MNPs associated with the plasmid coding for GFP were efficiently delivered into NIH3T3 cells, and the magnefect-nano system significantly enhanced overall transfection efficiency in comparison to lipid-mediated gene delivery. MNP dosage used in this work was not found to affect the cell viability and/or morphology of the cells. Non-viral transfection using MNPs and the magnefect-nano system can be used to transfect NIH3T3 cells and direct reporter gene delivery, highlighting the wide potential of nanomagnetic gene transfection in gene therapy.

Abstract
A compact TiO2 layer (~1.1 μm) prepared by electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) and swift heavy ion beam (SHI) irradiation using oxygen ions onto a fluorinated tin oxide (FTO) conducting substrate showed enhancement of photovoltaic performance in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The short circuit current density (Jsc = 12.2 mA cm-2) of DSSCs was found to increase significantly when an ESD technique was applied for fabrication of the TiO2 blocking layer, compared to a conventional spin-coated layer (Jsc = 8.9 mA cm-2). When SHI irradiation of oxygen ions of fluence 1 × 1013 ions/cm2 was carried out on the ESD TiO2, it was found that the energy conversion efficiency improved mainly due to the increase in open circuit voltage of DSSCs. This increased energy conversion efficiency seems to be associated with improved electronic energy transfer by increasing the densification of the blocking layer and improving the adhesion between the blocking layer and the FTO substrate. The adhesion results from instantaneous local melting of the TiO2 particles. An increase in the electron transport from the blocking layer may also retard the electron recombination process due to the oxidized species present in the electrolyte. These findings from novel treatments using ESD and SHI irradiation techniques may provide a new tool to improve the photovoltaic performance of DSSCs.

Introduction
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are a promising photovoltaic system for next generation solar cells that contain mesoporous nanocrystalline semiconductors like TiO2, ZnO and SnO2 as photoanodes anchored with dye molecules. These dye molecules serve as light harvesters [1-3]. It is believed that DSSCs are more cost effective than conventional solar cells due to their low production cost. Recently, intensive research activities have focused on enhancing the photoconversion efficiency of DSSCs by improving charge transport in the electronic interfaces such as (a) TiO2/transparent conducting oxide (b) TiO2/electrolyte (c) dye/TiO2 (d) dye/electrolyte and (e) electrolyte/counter electrode. For instance, electrons on either side of the TiO2 layer or in the transparent conducting oxide (TCO) such as fluorinated tin oxide (FTO) may recombine with the oxidized redox couples such as I3-. Electron recombination is one of the major factors that determine the high energy conversion efficiency (2e-+I3- → 3I-) [4,5]. Therefore, there have been several different approaches to reduce or block the recombination of electrons on TCO and TiO2 layers to improve the energy conversion efficiency. Among the interfaces described previously, the one between TiO2/transparent conducting oxides faces severe recombination problems, since the porous nature of photoanodes results in uncovered sites on the TCO layer, resulting in sites for electron recombination with I3- redox species in the electrolyte.
Considerable attention has been focused on the methods to reduce electron recombination at the interface between TCO substrate and electrolyte containing I3-. In order to overcome this recombination problem, a compact oxide layer (pore-free and dense) is commonly introduced between the mesoporous TiO2 and the TCO substrate, which blocks electron recombination with the electrolyte via a so-called blocking effect [6]. Furthermore, the blocking layer should provide good adhesive properties between the TCO and the mesoporous TiO2 layers to facilitate electron transport from the mesoporous TiO2 to the TCO layers. From this perspective, a variety of oxides have been investigated such as Nb2O5 [7], ZnO [8], MgO [9], Al2O3 [10] and SiO2 [11] in addition to TiO2 [12]. Different preparation techniques have been widely exploited to form blocking layers such as sol-gel [12], spin coating [13], sputtering [14,15] and spray-coating [16] techniques. Therefore, the formation of a blocking layer between mesoporous TiO2 and the TCO substrate has been investigated, which not only blocks electron recombination but also facilitates electron transport.
In this study, electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) was applied first for fabricating a TiO2 blocking layer, and swift heavy ion beam irradiation (SHI) was subsequently performed as a post-treatment, since ESD allows particle size and shape to be controlled by varying processing parameters such as the polymer concentration in the spray solution and applied voltage. Furthermore, a conventional electrospinning setup, in which the conducting FTO electrode directly connected to the electric circuit (negative terminal) may produce an electro-hydrodynamic field between a collector (FTO) and a sol injector (syringe), may improve adhesion between the sprayed particles and the FTO substrate. Particle growth achieved via ESD is more effective than that obtained by conventional spray pyrolysis [17] or spin coating. Chen et al. [18] reported nanostructured TiO2 films fabricated by ESD and studied their phase transformations by sintering. Zhang et al. [19] demonstrated the feasibility of ESD-derived uniform TiO2 particles in DSSCs and suggested that the electrical contact between the conducting substrate and TiO2 particle (electron transport layer) plays a crucial role in power conversion efficiency, since the presence and the removal of the polymer molecules in the ESD layer during sintering may result in poor contact among TiO2 nanoparticles and poor adhesion to conductive glass substrates. These will impose severe constraints on the electron transport from the mesoporous TiO2 layer to the FTO substrate. Therefore, an alternative post-treatment may be necessary to obtain a compact, thin blocking layer with good contact among TiO2 nanoparticles and good adhesion to the conductive glass substrates [20], resulting in rapid electron transport. SHI was employed as a post-treatment for improving both adhesion and contact. Recently, Singh et al. [21] reported that SHI irradiation improved the transmittance of conducting substrates (indium-doped tin oxide), and their performance was affected in DSSCs. The SHI method is based on the interactions of ions with solids, where the temperature around the trajectory of the ion increases remarkably. The shock waves, or so-called pressure waves, develop due to the temperature spike, which diffuses the heat radially in the target [22]. This thermal spike can generate local heat along TiO2 nanoparticles. When the temperature is greater than the melting temperature of TiO2 (~1,300°C), a liquid phase is formed in this specific region. This high temperature region cools down immediately due to very rapid heat transfer to the surroundings, resulting in solidification of the surface, specifically melted TiO2 nanoparticles [23] that form a highly adhesive TiO2 blocking layer with the FTO substrate. To best of our knowledge, this is the first report of its kind to apply the SHI irradiation technique for obtaining an efficient blocking layer in DSSCs. The performance of the SHI-irradiated blocking layer was investigated in comparison with the unirradiated (pristine) and conventional spin-coated TiO2 blocking layers.
Experimental
The following procedure was used for the preparation of a TiO2 blocking layer on fluorinated tin oxide (FTO) substrates: 15 wt% poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) (Mn ~ 5,000,000) solution was prepared by dissolving PVAc in dimethyl formamide (DMF) and dropping it into a mixture containing 1 g of titanium isopropoxide and 0.5 g of acetic acid while stirring. The as-prepared TiO2 sol was electrosprayed onto a grounded FTO substrate at 17 kV with a constant distance of about 10 cm between FTO and the electrospray syringe at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/h. The resultant ESD TiO2 blocking layer was ~1.1 μm thick and was sintered at 450°C for 30 min in air. In order to prepare SHI-irradiated films, the as-prepared ESD TiO2 films were used without sintering.
SHI was conducted using 15 UD Pelletron tandem accelerator facilities available in the Materials Science Beamline at the Inter-University Accelerator Centre (IUAC), New Delhi, India. The vacuum of the experimental chamber was in the range of 10-6 torr. The TiO2 films, which act as blocking layers, were subjected to 100 MeV O ion irradiation with fluence of 1 × 1013 ions/cm2. The electronic and nuclear energy loss values for 100 MeV O ions in TiO2, calculated using the SRIM code simulation program (SRIM-2010) [24,25], were 1.284 × 102 and 6.739 × 10-2 eV/Å, respectively. The range of O ions in this experiment is about 54.14 μm, indicating that the entire passage of ions in the film is dominated by electronic energy loss. Further experimental details were published elsewhere [26].
In order to compare the effect of the blocking layer, two kinds of DSSCs were assembled: (a) a pristine cell fabricated from the ESD TiO2 blocking layer and (b) a SHI cell using an irradiated ESD TiO2 blocking layer. In addition, a reference cell was fabricated from the TiO2 blocking layer prepared by conventional spin coating (Ti(IV) bis (ethyl acetonato)-diisopropoxide solution in 2 wt% of 1-butanol) and was also tested under identical experimental conditions. Further, TiO2 photoanodes thickness about ~6 μm were prepared on the TiO2 blocking layer using TiO2 paste (Solaronix) by a doctor blade technique [27] and subsequently sintered at 450°C for 30 min in air.
N719 dye (di-tetrabutylammonium cis-bis(isothiocyanato)bis(2,2'-bipyridyl-4,4'-dicarboxylato)ruthenium(II)) was used to sensitize the TiO2 photo electrodes. The TiO2 electrodes were immersed overnight in a 0.3 mM dye solution containing a mixture of acetonitrile (ACN) and t-butyl alcohol (1:1 v/v) and dried at room temperature. A sandwich-type configuration was employed to measure the performance of the dye-sensitized solar cells, using a Pt-coated F-doped SnO2 film as a counter electrode and 0.5 M MPII (1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide) with 0.05 M I2 in ACN as the electrolyte solution. Current–voltage characteristics of DSSCs were performed under 1 sun illumination (AM 1.5G, 100 mW cm-2) with a Newport (USA) solar simulator (300 W Xe source) and a Keithley 2,400 source meter (device area is 0.16 cm2). The different stages of the cell fabrication are schematically shown in Figure 1. Electrochemical impedance measurements were carried out using a potentiostat (IM6 ZAHNER) equipped with a frequency response analyzer (Thales) in the frequency range of 0.1 Hz–1,000 kHz. The results were analyzed with an equivalent circuit model for interpreting the characteristics of the DSSCs. Incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of DSSCs was measured using PV Measurements Inc. (Model QEX7) with bias illumination with reference to the calibrated silicon diode.

The surface morphologies of the TiO2 thin films before and after SHI irradiation were studied by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (JEOL-JSM 6330F). The crystalline phases of the TiO2 films were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) using a diffractometer (Rigagu Denki Japan) with CuKα radiation. The conductivity of the samples was studied via the two-probe method.
Results and Discussion
Figure 2 shows the X-ray diffraction spectra of the ESD pristine and the SHI-irradiated TiO2 layers. Hereafter, the SHI-irradiated TiO2 layer is referred to as a layer formed by the ESD first and subsequently SHI-irradiated techniques. The characteristic peak observed at ~25.3° in both the films indicated the presence of an anatase phase of TiO2 (JCPDS 21-1272). The increase in the relative peak intensities observed in the SHI-irradiated sample shows that the SHI irradiation induced crystallization when compared to the as-prepared pristine ESD TiO2 films. The average grain size of the SHI-irradiated TiO2 films was found to be about 47 nm as estimated from Scherrer's equation. The significant additional peak exhibited in the SHI-irradiated sample is not clearly understood.

Surface morphologies of the pristine and the SHI-irradiated TiO2 films are presented in Figure 3. The electrosprayed TiO2 films reveal an aggregation pattern, and the spherical particles form an interconnected porous framework of nano-sized building blocks (Figure 3). The observed nano-aggregated particles may be ascribed to the existence of a Coulumbic force lower than the stretching force resulting from weak repulsion between adjacent spray droplets. Under SHI irradiation, these nano-aggregated TiO2 particles melted and solidified on the FTO substrate and consequently formed a rather flat, nonporous structure with the FTO layer (see Figure 3). This results in a compact interface at FTO/TiO2 for both blocking electron recombination and increasing electronic transport. The fragmentation of the aggregated particles into smaller grains under SHI irradiation can be explained by a thermal spike model. If a large amount of energy is deposited by the projectile ions to the electronic subsystem of the target material, this energy can be shared among electrons by electron–electron coupling and later transferred quickly to the surrounding lattice through electron–phonon coupling. Thus, a sudden temperature rise on the time scale of 10-12 s along the ion track resulted in a molten state. The subsequent heat transfer to the surrounding lattice results in resolidification of this molten liquid phase. If this cooling rate slows to a critical value, nucleation of crystalline phases can be expected along the ion trajectory [28,29]. Therefore, we speculate that the surface of the TiO2 particles may undergo an ion-beam-induced molten state in a short duration of time (10-12 s). These molten state particles were attached with FTO substrate, enhancing the inter-particle connectivity (compact) to improve the conductivity of the film. The measured conductivity of the pristine and the SHI-irradiated TiO2 films found to be 2.31 × 10-2 and 1.2 Scm-1, respectively, indicating large improvement in the electron conductivity. Cross-sectional SEM images of the pristine and the SHI-irradiated TiO2 films are illustrated in Figure 4. Figure 4b suggests that the pristine ESD TiO2 layer has nano-aggregates and an inhomogeneous interface (contact) with the FTO layer, mostly due to the removal of polymer templates from ESD coating during sintering treatment. The observed inhomogeneous TiO2/FTO interface in the pristine sample was further compressed by SHI irradiation using O2 ions. This interface modification was confirmed by Figure 4c, showing that the TiO2 particles adhered well to the FTO layer. The thickness of the pristine film, ~1.1 μm, was reduced to ~0.67 μm after O ion irradiation. This is ascribed to the compact nature of TiO2 film formed by SHI irradiation. It is noteworthy to mention that improving the compact nature of the TiO2 blocking layer upon SHI irradiation can facilitate electron transport and also reduce electron recombination back to the electrolyte.

Figure 4. Cross-sectional FE-SEM images of a bare FTO substrate, b pristine TiO2/FTO, and c O2 ion-irradiated TiO2/FTO. The thickness of the pristine and irradiated TiO2 was about 1.1 and 0.67 μm, respectively. (Inset: images in 100 nm scale.)
As shown in Figure 5, the ESD TiO2 blocking layer DSSC (pristine cell) shows higher IPCE (maximum up to about ~53% at 530–540 nm) than the reference cell over the whole range of light wavelengths. This clearly demonstrates a ~16% improvement in external quantum efficiency from reducing the electron losses at FTO/TiO2 interfaces. It appears that the ESD is more efficient than the spin coating in terms of improving IPCE due to the formation of continuous films. Further, substantial improvement in IPCE was identified at lower wavelengths (380–420 nm), attributable to the SHI irradiation on the TiO2 blocking layer. The IPCE can be rationalized using the following relation [30],
(3)
where A is the absorptivity indicating the fraction of incident light absorbed by the dye molecules, φinj is the injection efficiency of dye molecules into the TiO2 conduction band, and ηcoll is the collection efficiency. The parameters A and φinj are directly related to dye loading on the TiO2 surface. In the present work, we have controlled similar dye loading in the reference, the pristine and the SHI-irradiated electrodes, as verified with a dye removal test using 1 M aqueous NaOH solution. Therefore, A and φinj, of all these samples can be treated to be equal, and the change in the IPCE is related to the improvement in ηcoll. This improvement in ηcoll under SHI irradiation can be ascribed to (a) better adhesion of the TiO2 blocking layer with the TCO substrate and (b) enhanced contact among TiO2 particles. Hence, it is expected that the SHI-irradiated blocking layer may result in higher photoconversion efficiency.

Figure 6 shows the photocurrent density–voltage (J-V) characteristics measured under 1 sun (100 mW cm-2 AM 1.5) and dark conditions. The photovoltaic parameters were estimated from Figure 6 and are summarized in Table 1. The photocurrent density (Jsc) was increased from 8.9 to 12.2 mA cm-2, and the overall efficiency (η) was markedly improved from 3.8 to 5.1% by replacing the ESD TiO2 compact layer, compared to the conventionally spin-coated blocking layer. This might be attributed to the highly compact nature of the ESD films, which provide more effective pathways for electrons. As a result, electrons can be collected faster at the TCO and transferred to the external circuit, resulting in improvement in the photovoltaic performance. However, there is no appreciable change in the open circuit voltage (Voc) between these samples. When the ESD cell was treated with SHI irradiation, the open circuit voltage was further improved from 0.60 to 0.63 V, and consequently, the overall energy conversion efficiency improved from 5.1 to 5.5%. This may be because of the SHI irradiation, which melted TiO2 particles and thereby improved electrical contact with the FTO substrate (denser and more compact) and among TiO2 particles. This clearly demonstrates that the SHI irradiation enhances the blocking effect of electron recombination and creates a facilitating effect on electron transport.

Table 1. Influence of TiO2 blocking layer on photovoltaic parameters of DSSCs
A comparison of dark currents between the investigated cells provides qualitative information about the electron recombination process [31]. In DSSCs, preventing the recapture of photoinjected electrons by I3- is vital to obtain a high open circuit photovoltage. By inserting the blocking layer between the FTO substrate and the TiO2 mesoporous layer, the reaction possibilities of I3- with the photoinjected electrons on the FTO substrate are significantly hindered, as demonstrated by the reduced dark current [31]. Here, the dark current–voltage curves of the DSSCs using different blocking layers are presented in the lower part of Figure 6. The less dark current observed in the SHI-irradiated cell compared with the pristine cell may be attributed to the better electrical contact between the blocking layer and the FTO substrate, and the compact nature of the blocking layer as well. Furthermore, during SHI irradiation, it is expected that Sn4+ particles from the FTO layer may fuse with the TiO2 layer occupying the oxygen vacancies in TiO2, thus lowering the Fermi level of TiO2. For instance, the Fermi level position of the Sn-doped TiO2 layer is lower than that of the TiO2 mesoporous layer, which is favorable for fast electron injection from mesoporous TiO2 particles to the conducting substrate [32].
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) provides valuable information on the kinetics of electron transport in the DSSCs with deeper understanding of the interfacial reactions at FTO/TiO2 [33] and therefore was employed to decipher the blocking layer effect in DSSCs. Figure 7 shows the Nyquist plots of the electrochemical impedance spectra. Their equivalent circuit is given as an inset in the figure. The charge transfer resistances RCT1 and RCT2 represent the resistances at the Pt/FTO and TiO2/dye/electrolyte interfaces, respectively. The electrochemical parameters were estimated by fitting experimental data with the equivalent circuit (inset of Figure 7) [34] and are summarized in Table 2.

Table 2. Influence of TiO2 blocking layer on electrochemical parameters of DSSCs
The series resistance, Rs, was decreased markedly in the case of the pristine and O ion-irradiated electrodes, compared to the reference electrode. This is mostly associated with better electron transfer through the blocking layer due to better contact and better adhesion. The RCT2 value for SHI cells was increased markedly compared to the reference and the pristine electrodes. The increased RCT2 value may be mostly due to the fast electron transfer through the blocking layer. Hence, the increased electron transfer leads to lowering electron concentration of TiO2 mesoporous particles, which is responsible for observed high RCT2 (57.3 Ω) values in the O ion-irradiated sample.
The results described above suggest that contact among nanoparticles and the adhesion properties of a blocking layer with an FTO substrate may improve the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells. Further studies using different ion energies and fluence may further explain the role of electronic energy loss on these devices and allow development of precise control of the blocking layer.
Conclusions
An electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) technique followed by SHI irradiation using 100 MeV oxygen ions resulted in the formation of an efficient, dense TiO2 blocking layer between the TiO2 particle layer and the TCO substrate. The blocking layer promotes charge transport from the TiO2 layer to the TCO substrate by modifying the TCO/TiO2 interfaces and causes effective electrical contact between the two layers. The formation of an effective, compact blocking layer was possible due to instantaneous surface melting of the ESD TiO2 nanoparticles associated with a local temperature rise upon oxygen ion irradiation. Energy conversion efficiency was improved to a large extent (η = 5.5%), compared to that of the conventional blocking layer (η = 3.8%), mainly due to the increase in electron transport through the blocking layer, resulting from better contact among TiO2 nanoparticles and better adhesion with the TCO substrate.

U.S., Poland discussing deployment of SM-3 interceptors – Pentagon
PanARMENIAN.Net - Washington and Warsaw keep closely discussing the deployment of a U.S. new-generation ballistic missile defense interceptor site in Poland by 2018, Pentagon spokesman George Little said, Defence Professionals reported citing RIA Novosti.
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta met on Wednesday, July 25 with his Polish counterpart Tomasz Siemoniak to discuss besides other issues the deployment of the U.S. missile shield elements in Europe.
“Panetta thanked Siemoniak for Poland’s leadership on NATO Ballistic Missile Defense [BMD]. Poland was the first nation to establish a BMD agreement with the United States… The two nations are working closely together to establish an SM-3 ballistic missile interceptor site in Poland by 2018,” Little said in a statement.
The Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) Block IB is designed to intercept and destroy short to intermediate-range ballistic missile threats and is an essential component of an anti-missile system the United States is building in and around Europe.
Moscow has long opposed the deployment of U.S. missile defenses near its borders, arguing they would be a security threat and could destroy the strategic balance of forces in Europe.
The United States scrapped plans in September of 2010 for an anti-ballistic-missile defense system in the Czech Republic and Poland. Moscow welcomed the move, and Russia’s then-President Dmitry Medvedev said later that Russia would drop plans to deploy Iskander-M tactical missiles in its Kaliningrad Region, which borders NATO members Poland and Lithuania.
Last year, however, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced Washington's plans to deploy missile defenses and Air Force units in Poland.
Russia and NATO agreed to cooperate on the so called Euro missile defense system at the Lisbon summit. NATO insists there should be two independent systems that exchange information, while Russia favors a joint system.

filMixer.tv Launches New Social Network for Film and Media Content Makers with Eye Toward Providing Web and Mobile Distribution
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
filMixer announces the launch of a new social network for film and media makers with an eye toward providing a web and mobile distribution platform for independent filmmakers within the context of an integrated social network.
Beverly Hills, CA, January 17, 2013 - (PressReleasePoint) - Launched this week as a free service for members of the film and media content creating community, filMixer offers its members a platform for engagement around visual and creative content as well as a place for distribution of their work. 'Although there are many services and aggregators that offer distribution for long and short form content on the web as well as mobile devices, our service will provide our members a social context for exhibition of their work within an industry peer network.', says Marco Santiago, founder of filMixer.tv.
Consumption of mobile content continues to accelerate with the continued penetration of mobile devices, which is estimated to be around 1 billion as of the 3rd quarter of 2012.1 At the same time, form factors continue to push the screen size of these devices up, with smart phones now pushing past 5 inches. 'These are encouraging trends from an independent filmmaker's perspective because it does two things - it supports a broader audience that is not encumbered by traditional distribution barriers, while at the same time improves the viewing experience on a platform that is increasingly the defecto means by which to view media. You go to an airport and it's become increasingly obvious that many people with their heads down are looking right into their smart phones watching some sort of video while they wait around. It's become ubiquitous', Marco continues.
filMixer provides a service that helps aggregate people around a common interest that encourage professional and social interaction with tools and features that are practical and engaging. These include upload and viewing of picture and video, forums, featured and user generated groups around specific areas of interest, blogging, event creation and invitation with integration to outlook, chat, search, alerts, and activity feeds. These and many more features help support and enrich the user experience as a means of aggregating membership around independent filmmaking.

FAQs: AdWords Express Monthly Budget
Aug 2, 2012 • 8:10 am | (1) by | Filed Under Google AdWords
Neetu Kurian from Google posted a detailed question and answer thread on the topic of AdWords Express monthly budget concerns in the Google Places Help forums.
I don't see this posted elsewhere, so I figured I bring this to light to many of you who are participating in this program.
Here is Kurian's post:
1. What is Monthly Budget?
Your monthly budget is an amount that you set for each of your AdWords Express ad to specify how much you'd like to spend each month. And, your monthly budget will ensure that in a calendar month you don’t accrue costs more than the set monthly budget. So if you have set a monthly budget of $X for your AdWords Express ad, you can be assured that in a calendar month (say June, July etc) you will not accrue costs more than $X.
2. The factors that determine the recommended monthly budgets
Regarding the recommended monthly budgets you see in your AdWords Express account, please know that these budgets are recommended by the system based on factors such as the competition in the category you have created your AdWords Express ad for in the local area you target, dynamic nature of search traffic etc and our system also ‘estimates’ the number of clicks your ad may receive for each of these recommended budgets. Please note that these are just estimates and your actual ad performance may vary.
While we strongly recommend our advertisers to choose a budget equivalent to one of the recommended budgets, please be assured that you can also choose a monthly budget of your choice and comfort.
3. Implications of low budget
If you have chosen a low budget for your AdWords Express ad, it is possible that your ad may stop running before the month actually ends. This is because with a low budget, our system will not have enough funds to show your ad throughout the month and in such instances, our system may automatically ‘pause’ or ‘end’ your AdWords Express ad to ensure that you do not accrue costs more than your monthly budget. However, please be assured that our system will automatically resume your ad serving the beginning of next month with your whole monthly budget.
4. Pro-rated budget in AdWords Express
Do keep in mind that the monthly budget for an AdWords Express ad is pro-rated in the following scenarios:
(a) When you activate your AdWords Express ad during the course of the month
In this case, please keep in mind that your effective monthly budget will be calculated based on the day you activated your AdWords Express ad. So, for instance - if you activated your AdWords Express ad on 15th May and your monthly budget was set to $100, then only half the monthly budget will be available for the rest of May which is $50 and if this $50 gets exhausted by, say, May 26, your AdWords Express ad will stop running with us for the rest of the month (May 26 - May 31). But, however please be assured that our system will automatically resume your ad serving next month with your whole monthly budget of $100 (in this example).
So for AdWords Express, please note that if the campaign is active for only half the calendar month, then only half the monthly budget will be available.
(b) When you change your monthly budget in the middle of a month
In this case, please know that if you change your budget in the middle of a month, the maximum amount that you'll be charged for the month changes from your previous monthly charging limit. So if your new budget is higher than your current monthly accumulated spend, you'll be charged at most, your current spend plus a prorated value of the new budget from the date of change to the end of the month. And if your new budget is lesser, we may stop serving your ad for the rest of the month. But, please be assured that our system will resume your ad next month, with your whole new monthly budget.
5. Points to keep in mind while choosing your monthly budget
(a) Recommend monthly budgets: As already mentioned, please know that the system recommends three different monthly budgets based on factors such as competition in the category you have created your AdWords Express ad for, dynamic nature of search traffic etc. While we strongly recommended our advertisers to choose a budget equivalent to one of the recommended budgets, you can also choose a separate budget based on your comfort level and choice.
(b) Competition in the category you have created your ad for in the local area you target : If you are creating your AdWords Express ad for very competitive online industries such as ‘Insurance’, ‘Real Estate’ etc and if these industries are also very competitive in the local area you target, then you may want to consider choosing a higher budget to ensure that your ad receives the maximum traffic possible.
(c) Desired traffic: If you want the maximum exposure for your AdWords Express ad and if you are looking for a lot of ad traffic, then it is always recommended to choose the highest recommended budget for your AdWords Express ad. This is because with higher budget, the system has more space to push your ad’s position and performance by showing it to more potential users.
Instead, if you are just experimenting with AdWords Express - you can start with the lowest recommended budget and keep adjusting your budget as and when you desire and also based on your ad performance. But, always keep in mind that lowering your budget may restrict your ad visibility and traffic.
6. How to edit your monthly budget
If you wish to edit your monthly budget, here are the steps you need to follow:
1. Sign into your AdWords Express account at http://adwords.google.com/express/ 2. On the Home tab, select your business from the drop-down menu. 3. On the righthand side of the page, click Manage your ads. 4. Under "Maximum monthly budget", choose one of the recommended budgets or enter your own budget. 5. Click Save and continue when you’re done.

Google Turns AdWords Yellow & Changes Click Behavior: How Will It Change CTR?
Apr 6, 2007 • 6:56 am | (4) by | Filed Under Google AdWords
Google has finally made the official switch from blue background color on their top AdWords (sponsored results) to a yellow background color that they have been testing for the past few months.
But not only did they change the color, they made an even bigger change to those top sponsored listings.
Modified what counts as a click in this box to be consistent with what counts as a click for the ads on the right hand side. Instead of clicking anywhere in the box, users now need to click on the link in the top line of an ad in order to be taken to an advertiser's site.
Now a user needs to click on the title of the ad to be taken to the advertiser and not just anywhere inside the ad box. This can impact one's CTR big time. The question is how much?
I will track the thread over the next week or so and let you know any early feedback.
Current threads on the change are at Search Engine Watch Forums & WebmasterWorld.

From Wikipedia:Richard Whatcoat
Richard Whatcoat (February 23, 1736 – July 4, 1806), was the third Bishop of the American Methodist Episcopal Church. [edit]History
Whatcoat was born in Gloucestershire, England and, although reared in the Church of England, became a Methodist at age 22. He was a devoted lay Methodist for nine years. In July of 1769, Whatcoat became a minister, quickly earning a strong reputation as a problem-solver. John Wesley and Thomas Coke ordained him an Elder in 1784, then Wesley sent Whatcoat and Coke to the United States as missionaries. Whatcoat became influential among the Methodists in America, known as an effective preacher. His contemporaries attributed his strength chiefly to his devotion. In the year 1800 he was elected bishop, joining Coke and Francis Asbury as the leaders of the Methodist Episcopal Church. After several years of infirmity, he died in Dover, Delaware. "Richard Whatcoat was one of the saintliest men in the primitive itinerancy of Methodism. Had he been a Papist, he might have been canonized. His biographer adds that it might be said of him, as of St. Basil, 'that so much divine majesty and luster appeared in him it made the wicked tremble to behold him. In him were seen majesty and love. His whole deportment was beautiful, and adorned with personal graces.' During eight or nine years he labored humbly but effectively as a Band and Class Leader in Wednesbury, Staffordshire, where Methodism was 'tried as by fire' in terrible persecutions. In 1767 he began to hold public meetings, as an Exhorter, in rural neighborhoods. In 1769 the devoted John Pawson, who knew how to estimate his character, proposed him as an itinerant at the memorable Leeds Conference which sent the first Methodist missionaries, Boardman and Pilmoor, to America. The Conference might well have received their obscure young probationer with peculiar interest, could they have anticipated that he was providentially destined to follow their missionaries, and become one of the early bishops of the wide-spread Church they had thus been humbly founding in the distant West. Source: History of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States, Abel Stevens (1815-1897), pub.1864 In telling of his life, Richard Whatcoat stated that he was born in 1736 in the parish of Quinton, county of Gloucester, England. His father died while he was very young and living with his mother and four siblings. As with most young boys, he was bound as an apprentice. He claimed to have been as good as most boys could be, never swearing a vain oath, or given to lying, gaming, drunkenness or any other presumptuous sin, but was commended for his honesty and sobriety. Even at a young age, he thought about death and eternity. At the age of 21 he moved to Wednesbury, and in his words, "found myself in continual danger of losing the little religion I had, as the family in which I lived had no religion at all." "Whatcoat has left us but brief notes of his travels and labors in the present period. Immediately after the Christmas Conference he took the field in Maryland and Delaware for about half a year, preaching 'almost daily, sometimes twice a day,' and administering the sacraments almost as frequently. In Kent County he records more than seventy-five baptisms on a single day - such had been the long privation of this ordinance among the Methodist families! In 1786 he spent seven or eight months in Philadelphia and its neighborhood, and the next year penetrated to the west of Pennsylvania to Alleghany, Bath, and Berkeley Circuits, where he spent nearly fourteen months supplying the settlements with the sacraments, and proclaiming the Word in barns and woods." Rev. Whatcoat was written a letter by Francis Asbury on March 25, 1787 in Charleston, South Carolina. It states: "My dear Brother: Hereby I inform you that Mr. Wesley has appointed you a joint Superintendent with me. I can, therefore, claim no superiority over you; the way will be for you to come after me through the whole continent if called, but through the States without all doubt. The best method will be to go out to the Ohio, upon a plan I have laid out for myself, and return to the Springs; there I will meet you and form a plan for our future work. The mode of appointment is not approved of, though many of us by no means object to the person. I am, with respect, Yours as ever, Francis Asbury Source: The Journal and Letters of Francis Asbury, Vol.II, Chap.3, Elmer T. Clark, Editor-in-Chief, Pub. jointly by Epworth Press, London and Abingdon Press, Nashville, 1958. "Again he was sent, in 1788-89, to Maryland and Delaware, the head-quarters of his charge, which was a district with no less than sixteen large circuits, extending from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh and Redstone, from the Maryland peninsula to Ohio. His manners were devoutly grave, but relieved by affectionate cordiality, and he was both revered and loved by the people. His preaching was often attended with overwhelming unction, and in the administration of the sacraments he was peculiarly impressive, rendering those solemnities, frequently, occasions of great effect. In 1789 he traveled with Asbury to the north as far as New York, and westward across the Alleghanies to Fort Pitt, (Pittsburgh) and thence to Uniontown, Pa., where he assisted the bishop at the first ordination beyond the mountains. Returning to Baltimore, they held on their route to Charleston, S.C. where they met the South Carolina Conference, and thence into Georgia, where also they held a session. They then hastened westward to the Alleghanies, and passed into Tennessee and Kentucky. ... On again reaching Uniontown, Pa., he records that 'in the last fifteen months we have traveled six thousand miles.' " Source: History of the Methodist Episcopal Church. "In 1790 he (Whatcoat) was flying to and fro through the middle states, supplying the sacraments and preaching continually. In 1791 he was stationed in New York city, where he stayed some months, and was then transferred to Baltimore, where he welcomed the first regular Gen'l. Conference in 1792." Source: History of the Methodist Episcopal Church A spectator of the Gen'l. Conference of 1800, held in Baltimore, Md., witnessed Whatcoat's ordination saying, "It was one of the most remarkable in the history of our Church. The revival at that time was the greatest that has ever occurred at the session of any Gen'l. Conference. ... They elected Richard Whatcoat bishop, he having a majority of four votes over Jesse Lee. Sunday the 18th (of May), was a great day. The ordination sermon was preached by Rev. Thomas Coke, LL.D., in Light Street Church. ... After the sermon, which was adapted to the occasion, Richard Whatcoat was ordained a bishop in the Church of God by the imposition of the hands of Dr. Coke and Bishop Asbury, assisted by several elders. Never were holy hands laid upon a holier head." Source: History of the Methodist Episcopal Church In speaking of the General Conference of 1800 in Baltimore, Rev. Whatcoat wrote, "We had a most blessed time, and much preaching, fervent prayers and strong exhortations through the city, while the high praises of our gracious God reverberated from street to street and from house to house, which greatly alarmed the citizens. It was thought that not less than two hundred were converted during the sitting of our Conference." Source: History of the Old Baltimore Conference - From the Planting of Methodism in 1773 to the Division of the Conference in 1857, pg.37; James Edward Armstrong, Secretary of the Baltimore Conference, M.E. Church South; Printed for author by Kings Bros.,Printers, Balto., Md.; 1907 In the period of the quoted Haskins' letter (below), the author states that Asbury and Whatcoat had been travelling together, and Asbury was now suffering from a bad foot, so that he was unable to go on. Reference is made in Asbury's journal that Whatcoat went to the New York Conference and conducted it. In a letter from Francis Asbury to Thomas Cofee, August 20 he states in part, "Every circuit upon the Eastern and Western shores Maryland appears to have a revival. Since I wrote from Philadelphia, I have heard of a stir in New Jersey. Brother Whatcoat is upon a thousand miles tour, in round New York, Jersey, and Pennsylvania, I mean along the extremities of the country. In a little time I hope to meet him, and take the western journey, from Frederick-Town, in Maryland; thence to recross the Allegany to the south. ... Brother Whatcoat will perhaps go down the old path you have frequently gone with me, thro' old Virginia North and South Carolina, and Georgia. We shall not be able to meet all the conferences, if we keep together, tho' our bones were brass and our flesh iron." Relating the travels of Whatcoat and himself, Asbury states in a letter to Thomas Coke on July 28, 1803 that, "This will probably be the last letter I shall write you till the General Conference. Brother Whatcoat and myself, since April, have had a tour of 1800 miles from Baltimore thro' Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Northhamptonshire, and Vermont." In a P.S. he adds, "Brother Whatcoat is under a serious affliction thro' the gravel, shall leave him to rest in Maryland, till the General Conference." In another of Francis Asbury's letters dated June 27, 1803 in Cambridge, New York, he tells Stith Mead of church business and mentions the health of Richard Whatcoat. In regard to the latter he says, "Brother Whatcoat has had something serious in a discharge of blood at the urinary passage, that may either change his habits or his citizenship, from this to a better world. I believe we shall keep together this year if possible, we are now in haste for the new state [Ohio] and Kentucky, going down west of the Ohio." Source: The Journal and Letters of Francis Asbury, Vol.II, Chap.8, Elmer T. Clark, Editor-in-Chief; Pub. jointly by Epworth Press, London and Abingdon Press, Nashville, 1958. In A Compendious History of American Methodism by Abel Stevens. L . L . D., he states, "In casting a glance back over these sixteen years, so replete with great characters and achievements, we are reminded of events which might strike us as catastrophes were it not that they were in the order of Divine Providence, and therefore in 'due season,' and illustrations of the Methodistic maxim that 'God calls home his workmen, but carries on his work.' Among a host of men, many of them prominent, who fell by death in the ministerial field, Whatcoat, Coke, Asbury, and Lee have all disappeared from the scene as we close the period. "Whatcoat sustained his episcopal functions with continual disability from chronic disease, but was ever in motion throughout the whole extent of the Church North, South, East and West. His beautiful character preached more effectually than his sermons. Peculiarly simple, sober, but serene and cheerful, living as well as teaching his favorite doctrine of sanctification, extremely prudent in his administration, pathetically impressive in discourse, and 'made perfect through sufferings,' he is pre-eminently the saint in the primitive calendar of American Methodism." "In November, 1806, Asbury wrote to Fleming: 'Dear Father Whatcoat, after thirteen weeks' illness-gravel, stone, dysentery combined, died a martyr to pain in all patience and resignation to the will of God. May we, like him, if we live long, live well, and die like him.' He had 'finished his sixth episcopal tour through the work after his consecration,' says his biographer, 'or near that, and, after great suffering, he got an honorable discharge from the Captain of his salvation, and by his permission came in from his post, which he had faithfully kept for fifty years.' He took refuge at the home of Senator Bassett, Dover, Del., where he died, 'in the full assurance of faith,' say the Minutes, July 5, 1806. 'He professed,' adds his brethren, ' the justifying and sanctifying grace of God, and all that knew him well might say, If a man on earth possessed these blessings, surely it was Richard Whatcoat.' Nearly a year later Asbury reached Dover, and over his tomb declared that he 'knew Richard Whatcoat, from his own age of fourteen to sixty-two years, most intimately his holy manner of life, in duty at all times, in all places and before all.' " The relics of Richard Whatcoat, the third elected Methodist bishop, and who died in 1806, ten years before Francis Asbury, were buried under an altar at Wesley Chapel in Dover, Delaware, above which Asbury preached his funeral sermon.

From: Source:Simpson, 1881:91
DEATH OF BISHOP WHATCOAT.
Bishop Whatcoat labored assiduously in the discharge of his duties as bishop from his election in 1800 to the spring of 1 806. He was then obliged to desist, and found a home at the house of Governor Bassett, in Delaware. His last affliction was very severe, and, after an illness of thirteen weeks, he died in the triumphs of faith, July 5, 1806. Though not distinguished for great brilliancy in the pulpit, or for great executive ability, he was, nevertheless, an excellent preacher, and was faithful and diligent in all his work. He was remarkable for his meekness and humility, and for the deep spirit of piety which he manifested, both in public and private. In reference to his ordination a distinguished writer has said : " Holy hands were never laid on a holier head."

I was greatly gratified with the course recently pursued by our lay brethren in Dover, Delaware, and the members of the Philadelphia Annual Conference, in reference to the remains of Rev. Richard Whatcoat, the third Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who finished his course in that town, at the house of Richard Basset, Esq., a prominent citizen, and afterwards the Governor of Delaware. The end of Bishop Whatcoat, which took place the 6th of June, 1806, was peaceful, and his last night was spent in prayer and praise. He frequently prayed to the Lord in this time of need, and was often heard during the night to exclaim, " Bless the Lord! Bless the Lord!" A murmur never escaped his lips. A dear servant of God, and a friend of mine, Thomas Stevenson, Esq., who still lives, has informed me that he was with him the last night he lived, and though it was a most solemn time (for there was a corpse in the house), "it was," says he, "the happiest night I ever experienced." His remains were deposited immediately under the altar of the Methodist Episcopal Church of that place. His funeral sermon was preached hy Rev. Dr. Chandler. Great respect was shown to this valuable minister, though a stranger in a strange land. A slab of marble, with an appropriate inscription, was inserted in the wall of the church, to mark the spot where he rested.

Generation Sloth
September 6, 2009 by
It’s Labor Day, but there’s nothing to celebrate.
It turns out that half of college graduates under the age of 25 are working in jobs that require no college education at all. Think of Starbucks, the Gap, Target, and the like. Not that there is anything wrong with these jobs. But here’s the thing: these positions used to be held by young people before they finished college (which is in turn devoting itself to remedial education on the basics).
Do you see what is happening here? The minimum wage, subsidized college loans, child work laws, and other interventions are conspiring to prolong adolescence as long as possible — to the point that these young adults are seeing as much as a full decade of life experience pretty well stolen from them.

Shaping “Nuanced” Patent Injunctions
October 2, 2008 by
See the Patently-O post Shaping Nuanced Patent Injunctions: Broadcom v. Qualcomm, discussing a case in which the Federal Circuit “affirmed a permanent injunction against Qualcomm – finding that the district court acted within its equitable discretion and properly followed the injunctive relief guidelines set forth by the Supreme Court in eBay v. MercExchange (2006).”
The post notes: “This decision is insightful in how it moves the proper focus from whether an injunction should issue to the more nuanced issues of how to shape the injunction in a way that best serves the public interest while still protecting property rights.”
Hmm, public interest “versus” property rights? How anyone can think patent law is compatible with property rights is beyond me.

Attention: What ever you do, you do it on your own risk
Do not use this kernel for firmwares > 1.24!
Contents
Prerequisite
You have to have firmware 1.20 already installed and opened for telnet access, because the kernel is build from the Buffalo sources of firmware 1.20. If not, you can find a guide here: Open Stock Firmware LS-XHL
You have to have optware already installed, because you will need the package portmap and the package e2fslibs from the current optware feed. If not, you can find a guide here: Ipkg on the Linkstation (for end-users)
How to install the NFS kernel
Download this files into a directory of your Linkstation:
http://downloads.buffalo.nas-central.org/Users/kenatonline/NFSKernel/install-nfs-kernel.sh
http://downloads.buffalo.nas-central.org/Users/kenatonline/NFSKernel/nfs-kernel-feroceon-kw.tgz
If you want to use JFS as filesystem, load this file into the same directory:
http://downloads.buffalo.nas-central.org/Users/kenatonline/NFSKernel/jfsprogs.tgz
Connect to your Linkstation.
telnet 192.168.1.100
Switch to user root (and do not forget to load the profile (that's the reason for the "-")!)
su -
Switch to the directory where you stored the files (for this example share "share" is assumed).
cd /mnt/disk1/share
Start the script install-nfs-kernel.sh like this:
./install-nfs-kernel.sh
If no errors occur, cross your fingers and reboot.
reboot
If you want to double check, look for the kernel in /boot and for the modules in /lib/modules/2.6.22.18kenatonline. You should find this:
/boot:
2186080 Jan 31 13:28 uImage.buffalo
/lib/modules/2.6.22.18kenatonline:
4096 Jan 5 19:42 kernel
13959 Jan 5 19:42 modules.alias
69 Jan 5 19:42 modules.ccwmap
3921 Jan 5 19:42 modules.dep
73 Jan 5 19:42 modules.ieee1394map
141 Jan 5 19:42 modules.inputmap
81 Jan 5 19:42 modules.isapnpmap
74 Jan 5 19:42 modules.ofmap
372 Jan 5 19:42 modules.pcimap
43 Jan 5 19:42 modules.seriomap
3432 Jan 5 19:42 modules.symbols
36027 Jan 5 19:42 modules.usbmap
How to check the success?
After the reboot you can check your success.
Type this:
uname -a
It should return this:
2.6.22.18kenatonline #20 Fri Jan 1 12:53:39 CET 2010 armv5tejl unknown
Type this:
rpcinfo -p 127.0.0.1
It should return something like this:
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs
100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs
100021 1 tcp 52992 nlockmgr
100021 3 tcp 52992 nlockmgr
100021 4 tcp 52992 nlockmgr
100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
100003 3 udp 2049 nfs
100021 1 udp 32780 nlockmgr
100021 3 udp 32780 nlockmgr
100021 4 udp 32780 nlockmgr
100024 1 udp 32782 status
100024 1 tcp 59705 status
100005 1 udp 369 mountd
100005 1 tcp 369 mountd
100005 2 udp 369 mountd
100005 2 tcp 369 mountd
100005 3 udp 369 mountd
100005 3 tcp 369 mountd
Type this:
/etc/init.d/nfs.sh status
It should return this:
portmap is running.
mountd is running.
nfsd is running.
statd is running.
lockd is running.
All kernel NFS services running.
What is left to do for you?
You have to configure the exports. Look here for a guide: NFS for Beginners.
Is this kernel also available for the LS-CHLv2?
The LS-CHLv2 has the same kind of CPU but slower clock frequency and less RAM. The kernel source is identical and therefore this kernel should work for the LS-CHLv2 as it is for the LS-XHL. Unfortunately I do not know anyone who has a LS-CHLv2 to verify this. If you tried it successfully, report your success in the forum please.
Changes
2010.02.04: Missing "uname" result added to case statement in file /etc/init.d/usb.sh. If you downloaded the tar before or on February 4th, please download again and extract /etc/init.d/usb.sh to /etc/init.d/usb.sh or patch line 8 of the script to look like this (use an Unix editor): "2.6.22.7"|"2.6.22.18"|"2.6.22.18kenatonline")
2010.02.08: Unfortunately some script in INITRD restores the original usb.sh at bootup. I wrote a small script which gets called in sysinit.d and patches the usb.sh on bootup if necessary. If you downloaded the tar before or on February 8th, please download again and extract /etc/rc.d/sysinit.d/S88patch_usb.sh to /etc/rc.d/sysinit.d/.

A Test of Dividend Policy: The Case of the Japanese Machinery Industry Firms
Chikashi TSUJI
Abstract
This paper comprehensively explores the determinants of the dividend policy of the Japanese machinery industry corporations. First, our empirical examinations clarify that in this industry, corporate managers do not cater to investors' dividend demand in both their dividend initiation and continuation decisions. Instead, in the Japanese machinery industry, the significant determinants of firms’ dividend initiations are value-weighted payers' and nonpayers' market-to-book ratio, value-weighted all companies’ dividend yields, value-weighted nonpayers' size, and nonpayers' value-weighted after-tax earnings-to-total-asset ratios in the previous year. Moreover, in this industry, the significant determinants of firms' dividend continuations are value-weighted all companies' market-to-book ratio, value-weighted payers' market-to-book ratio, value-weighted all companies' dividend yields and size, and payers' value-weighted size in the previous year.

Adding Page Numbers to Google Documents
Google finally realized that the headers and footers from Google Docs have almost no real use, as you can't add dynamic information like page numbers or the current date. Until Google adds these options in the interface, you can edit the document's HTML code to use them. To add a header that displays "Page (current page number) of (total number of pages)" , click on "Edit HTML" and add this code at the beginning of the document:
<div style="text-align: right;" class="google_header">Page <span class="google_pagenumber">1</span> of <span class="google_pagecount">1</span></div>
When you save the document as a PDF, the header will look like this:
For footers, you should add this at the bottom of the document, in HTML view:
<div style="text-align: right;" class="google_footer" id="google_footer">Page <span class="google_pagenumber">1</span> of <span class="google_pagecount">1</span></div>
It's a good idea to go back to the rich text editor quickly if you don't want to see the horrible code generated by Google Docs. The "dynamic" headers and footers are visible only if you export the document to PDF, for example to print it.

Artist Themes for Google Chrome
After adding themes to iGoogle and Gmail, Google intends to skin Chrome and some of the initial themes will be created by famous artists. New York Times reports that not all of the illustrators and designers contacted by Google were happy to license their works for free.
"While we don't typically offer monetary compensation for these projects, through the positive feedback that we have heard thus far we believe these projects provide a unique and exciting opportunity for artists to display their work in front of millions of people," explained a Google representative.
Some recent Chrome builds include the option to "reset to default theme", but Google doesn't offer a gallery of themes or some guidelines for creating your own theme.
Immediately after Chrome's launch, many people started to create themes for the browser by editing the default.dll file, but the file is overwritten by the automatic updater and the format was changed in the latest releases.
Note: the screenshot shows a theme created by Google. To install it, you need to install a developer version of Chrome and to enable extensions.

login ask-a-question questions unanswered tags faq
I'm looking for the right combination of tablet computer, stylus and software that will allow me to keep an electronic journal. The catch is, I don't want to type my entries, I want to hand-write them. Every system I've seen so far either makes me type with the keyboard or, if it allows me to hand-write my entry, requires me to use something other than my normal handwriting (for example, it might require me to write in very big letters).
Anyone have a solution?

Even Windows 7 on a tablet computer comes with Windows Journal and does exactly as you described without addition purchase. It's easy to write with a stylus and have your notes stored away. As others have mentioned, OneNote and LiveScribe will make this even more robust if you want to that route.

You might want to look into the HTC flyer. this is a 7-inch Android tablet that has an optional capacitive stylus more designed for sketching and note taking. That might work for you, and the size is more notepad-like than a 10-inch tablet.

I own a Tablet PC (HP TZ2500) and OneNote is perfect for capturing my handwriting. I prefer to have my input digitized for OCR and subsequent typing, but if I could live with just handwritten notes I would merely stop right there. The digitizer on this is a Wacom-type and I love it, vastly preferred to capacitive tablets.

windows has two programs journal and one note that allow you to write freehand on tablets. Windows xp has a specific tablet version, but vista and 7 have it included. I have an hp tc1100 and use one note, what is great about one note is it's search/find feature.

Thank you all. Though it still surprises me that no company has put everything together in one package. I can probably get by with the LiveScribe for now, but what would be ideal--and seemingly not that difficult for a company to create--is a tablet pc with a touchscreen and stylus capable of capturing handwriting as it really looks. Maybe there is a technological limitation to the current crop of touch screens that prevents that level of handwriting detail?

Have you checked out LiveScribe? Instead of a tablet, the smarts are in the pen - it records your handwriting with special paper (not such a big deal; Best Buy sells it) and can record audio with a built-in microphone. It syncs with your computer, which does basic handwriting recognition so you can search your notes and play back. Good luck, be sure to post whatever you decide!

Wacom tablets are going to be the best quality tablet-wise for your money- I've had mine for three years now and it is holding up like a champ, and I got it for under 100 bucks (their Bamboo line is more for the non-industrial user, and that's what I've been using). Wacom also has software such that, whenever there is an entry in a web or OS interface, you can write it in (and it translates to text for you) rather than type it. I would imagine that could translate to a word processing program too, I just haven't used it in that capacity. It is ace with any graphics program you throw at it as well. You can use them with any computer setup you've already got too=)
Hope that helps!

If you have any Photoshop or Gimp or Mypaint, or probably also many others, you can write with a tablet and stylus fairly easily. It takes some getting used to, but the result is fairly consistent with your everyday handwriting.

Instructions
Filling the pressure sterilizer
• Fill the outer container with 3/4" to 1" inch of water (~1.3 L)
• Fill the inner basket with the stuff to autoclave. Loosen bottle caps and add autoclave tape to each item
• Put the inner basket into the outer container. Align the steam-tube chimney with the steam tube dangling from the inner lid.
• Close the lid. Tighten two knobs at a time, choosing pairs across from one another
• open the pressure-relief valve by flipping it upright (not at an angle)
Heating the pressure sterilizer
• Place the "Bayou Classic" propane burner *outside* on a concrete surface. Attach the propane tank. Check for leaks.
• To light the "Bayou Classic" propane burner, close the air-control ring around the gas line so there is just a crack
• Open the propane tank valve. Bring a flame to the burner, holding your hand underneath it. Slowly crack open the regulator valve.
• After ignition, open the air-control ring and regulator valve to achieve a jet-like flame.
• Wait 2 minutes after the plume of steam released from the valve is continuous, then flip the release valve shut. It should be roughly at a 90-degree angle.
• Pay close attention to the pressure gauge: *it only takes 5 minutes to heat the pressure-sterilizer to 20 PSI*, which is the upper limit of the safe operating range.
• When the pressure approaches 17 PSI, turn the regulator valve almost all the way off, to achieve a low-pressure, orange flame. Reduce the air-control ring's air gap.
• Maintain 17-19 PSI for 10 minutes. This is equivalent to 126 C or 259 F.
Emptying the Pressure Sterilizer
• turn off the propane tank valve first. This will cause the burner to consume the propane remaining in the line. Then close the regulator valve.
• open the pressure-control valve on the lid of the sterilizer. It should be straight up-and-down.
• wait for the pressure to return to ambient conditions.
• using autoclave gloves, loosen the lock nuts on the lid in a symmetrical way. Open the lid.
• if the lid is stuck, insert a large flat-head screwdriver into the gap between the lid and body. *do not use the screwdriver as a lever.* Instead, rotate the screwdriver to the tip applies pressure to the lid.
• remove the contents of the sterilizer. After the water cools, completely empty the sterilizer and dry it out. Leave it on its shelf with the lid cracked.

A bit about Dali, Salvador ...
Salvador Felip Jacint Dal Domnech (May 11, 1904 January 23, 1989) was an important Catalan Spanish painter, best known for his surrealist works. (His name is also sometimes given as Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dal Domnech, the Spanish rather than Catalan form of his name.) Dal's work is noted for its striking combination of bizarre dreamlike images with excellent draftsmanship and painterly skills influenced by the Renaissance masters. Dal was an artist of great talent and imagination. He had a love of doing unusual things to draw attention to himself, which sometimes irked those who loved his art as much as it annoyed his critics, since his eccentric theatrical manner sometimes overshadowed his artwork in public attention.

A bit about Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von ...
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (28 August 1749 - 22 March 1832), commonly known as "Goethe", was a German poet, novelist, philosopher, and scientist who is considered one of the giants of the literary world. In addition, aside from being lawyer and known also as a dramatist, humanist, theorist, and painter, he is also one of few individuals considered to have been a polymath. For ten years, he was chief minister of state for the duchy of Weimar. In 1782 he was ennobled as 'von Goethe'. In his 1809 masterpiece Elective Affinities, he became one of the first to speculate on the nature of interpersonal chemistry. Goethe was one of the key figures of German literature and the movement of Weimar Classicism in the late 18th and early 19th centuries; this movement coincides with Enlightenment, Sentimentality ("Empfindsamkeit"), Sturm und Drang, and Romanticism. The author of Faust and Theory of Colours, he influenced Darwin with his focus on plant morphology. Goethe's influence spread across Europe, and for the next century his works were a primary source of inspiration in music, drama, poetry, and philosophy. He is widely considered to be one of the most important thinkers in Western culture.

Fun:Creationist Argument Bingo
From RationalWiki
Jump to: navigation, search
"Hi, Billy Mays here for Creationist Argument Bingo!"
A little something to make arguments with Creationists go a bit more smoothly. Since most of them use the same few arguments, just mark them off as they come up.
(Under construction. Please feel free to add "better" or more common arguments, or re-arrange things.)
Second Law of Thermodynamics Piltdown Man Show us the Transitional Forms! Darwinism is a religion! Marxism was based on Darwinism!
Darwin was an Atheist, therefore he was WRONG! Microevolution, yes. Macroevolution, NO! Mutations can only lose information! (whatever that is) Haeckel's diagrams of embryos were wrong, so EVOLUTION IS ALL A FRAUD. What about polystrate fossils?
Obviously, the speed of light has decreased over time, because shut up. Things are bad right now, and it's all Darwin's fault! It's bullshit (FREE SPACE) Lots of myths mention a Great Flood, therefore OUR version of that myth must be true. "EVILution"
The world is so perfect for humans, it MUST be God's work! The BIBLE says... Intelligent Design is SCIENCE, too! The evils of Social Darwinism show that Darwinism is evil and therefore wrong. Radioisotope dating is utterly inaccurate!
I don't understand your argument, so it must be false. Most Americans are Christians/creationists, therefore the Bible is right. "HITLER believed
in Evolution!"
Fossils were laid down in the great flood. Without God and the Bible to tell you what is right and wrong there can be no morality.
[edit] But wait, there's more!
(Put any 'excess' bad arguments here.)
• The moths were pinned to the branch.
• The bible confirms God exists.
• God's word confirms the bible is right.
• Dragons exist in Asian and European Myths. Therefore, the Bible is correct.
• Why do you hate God so much?
• Universities are biased against creationists, therefore creationists are right.
• Evolution makes ugly things. Creation makes butterflies.
• Scientists sometimes change elements of the Theory of Evolution or debate it. Therefore it is wrong and the earth was created 6,000 years ago.
• Scientists never change elements of the Theory of Evolution or debate it. This is because they cling dogmatically to it; therefore it is wrong and the earth was created 6,000 years ago.
• Feature X of species Y is irreducibly complex, and I will ignore scientists who reduce it for me.
• All our articles are peer reviewed by people with theological degrees therefore they are as valid as yours.
• Maybe you are descended from monkeys. I'm made in God's image.
• Theories about the origin of life are not falsifiable, so they're not science, and therefore God exists.
• There are many Youtube videos which support my position.
• The sedimentary layers of the Grand Canyon prove the Flood.
• If we come from monkeys, why are there still monkeys around?
• We just interpret the evidence differently from evolutionists.
• Separation of church & state isn't in the First Amendment.
• The peer review process is just a way for evolutionists to suppress creationism.
• Evolution is just a theory.
• Because not everyone believes in evolution, there is a controversy to teach.
• BANANAS

Shadow people
From RationalWiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Can such things be?
Paranormal
The Twilight Zone
Shadow people are supposedly supernatural beings that believers claim to see flitting about in their peripheral vision. While various creatures of this ilk have long been a staple of folklore and ghost stories, the modern iteration gained popularity from the discussions of Heidi Hollis on Coast to Coast AM radio talk show, in 2002. Perhaps related has been the pivotal role of "shadow people" in popular website-cum-book-cum-movie John Dies at the End, by Cracked.com staff writer David Wong.
Contents
[edit] Origin
"Honey, I'm home!"
The modern idea of the shadow people gained traction when paranormal author Heidi Hollis appeared on the Coast to Coast AM radio talk show around 2002 to promote the existence of shadowy negative beings whose purpose, she said, was to annoy, scare, or harm people.[1] Radio host and skilled crank enabler[2] Art Bell had been independently endorsing belief in "shadow people" for some time already.[3] Bell helpfully encouraged his listeners to reinterpret personal experiences of sleep paralysis, pareidolia and hallucination as genuine encounters with malevolent supernatural beings. Soon hundreds of callers flooded his switchboard, convinced that they too were being stalked by shadow people. Hollis was promptly enshrined as a regular guest on Coast to Coast AM and the term "shadow people" was firmly lodged in the pantheon of pop culture batshit.[4][5] Poor Wikipedia, burdened by its neutral point of view, was once compelled to treat the subject as a credible phenomenon. [6]
[edit] Claims
Other opportunistic scammers authors quickly jumped on the bandwagon to add their own "knowledge" to Hollis's, er, "discovery". Shadow people, they said, were actually naughty extraterrestrial entities such as reptilian lizards and grey aliens that could choke or suffocate sleepers, and one especially fashionable example called "the Hat Man" rather enjoyed dressing like Zorro with a three piece suit under his cape. Others claimed that shadow people were time travelers, visitors from other dimensions, astral travelers, or just plain old demons. Hollis wrote in her 2001 book The Secret War that shadow people were evil spirits engaged in a battle with God, and only through prayer could one avoid their attentions. (Not surprisingly, her follow-up book was entitled Jesus is No Joke.)[7] Hollis maintains that shadow people can also take the form of headless torsos, cats, bugs, streaks, and blobs.[8] Why so many conflicting descriptions? Shadow people, say believers, are endowed with the magical ability to disappear before someone can get a good look at them. How convenient.[9]

That’s Right… “World” Champs
RedsArmyAdmin August 8, 2008 Uncategorized 6 Comments
When the Celtics raise the banner in 2 and a half months, it will look just like the other 16 hanging from the rafters (and just like the one Wyc is holding)… in that it will say "World" Champions… not "NBA" champions. I've been told by people who have spoken to the team that the Celtics have gotten special permission to use "World Champions".
The Spurs will be a little upset by this. They raised a "World Champions" banner for 2003… but check out their 2003 banner in this picture… it now says "NBA Champions".
So those are the facts of the story…. now comes the "allegedly" part:
Wyc Grousebeck allegedly spoke to the commissioner's office about the banner… and in his argument for the "World Champs" banner told the league that he's got 16 other banners that say "World Champions" on them…. so the league should enforce their rules "on a team that doesn't have a legacy."
I'm willing to bet that he didn't say that quote… but I put it up in hopes that he did… because it would be the most awesome quote ever.

David Stern said what about legalized gambling?
Chuck - Red's Army December 14, 2009 Uncategorized 1 Comment
Via Ian Thomsen of SI.com:
From my point of view, that is the big question created by the Tim Donaghy
scandal, and with this groundbreaking interview, Stern moved closer
than any major commissioner in modern times to an acceptance of
legalized betting on his games.
Stern made no commitment to
legalized gambling on NBA games in our wide-ranging conversation last
week at league headquarters in New York. He did, however, open a
dialogue that could ultimately lead to a new relationship between the
NBA and legalized sports betting. It's important to grasp the context
as detailed below, but for the first time he referred to nationally
legalized gambling on the NBA as a "possibility" that "may be a huge
opportunity."
And the exact quote from the commish:
"Gambling,
however it may have moved closer to the line [of becoming acceptable],
is still viewed on the threat side," Stern said. "Although we understand
fully why, buried within that threat there may be a huge opportunity as
well."

HOUSING AND COMMUNITY FACILITIES: OVERCROWDING
This article is part of a comprehensive series released as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Wellbeing: A focus on children and youth.
Note: In this section 'children' refers to people aged 0–14 years. The terms 'youth' and 'young people' refer to people aged 15–24 years. Data presented are from the ABS National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey, 2008 (cat. no. 4714.0).
KEY MESSAGES
In 2008:
• 92,700 or 31% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and youth lived in overcrowded housing
• in remote areas, more than half (58%) of all children and youth lived in overcrowded housing.
Living in overcrowded conditions may affect health and wellbeing in a number of ways. For example, having inadequate household facilities to properly meet the needs of occupants can assist the spread of infectious diseases, as well as leading to increased household tension (Endnote 1).
WHO IS LIVING IN OVERCROWDED HOMES?
The Canadian National Occupancy Standard, is an internationally accepted tool that measures the extent to which a dwelling is being utilised and the need (or not) for additional bedrooms in order to adequately house the occupants.
In 2008, an estimated 92,700 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and youth (31%) lived in overcrowded housing (based on the Canadian National Occupancy Standard).
In remote areas, more than half (58%) of children and youth lived in an overcrowded dwelling compared with just over one-quarter (26%) in regional areas and one-fifth (19%) in major cities.
While a higher proportion of children and young people in remote areas were living in overcrowded conditions, the number of affected children and youth in regional areas was almost as high as in remote areas (34,600 compared with 39,600).

OVERCROWDING BY TENURE TYPE
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people living in housing that was owned with a mortgage were the least likely to experience overcrowding (11% and 18% respectively), while children and young people living in housing rented from an Indigenous housing organisation were the most likely to live in overcrowded conditions (57% and 53% respectively).
The greatest number of children and young people living in overcrowded conditions were living in housing provided by a State or Territory Housing Authority (public housing) (18,900 children and 10,300 young people).
DEGREES OF OVERCROWDING
In 2008, there was a noticeable variation in the degree of overcrowding depending on location.
Of the 228,700 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and youth living in non-remote areas, almost one-quarter (23%) lived in an overcrowded dwelling. Of these, just over two-thirds (69%) lived in a dwelling that needed only one extra bedroom in order to adequately accommodate all occupants.
Among the 68,300 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and youth in remote areas, more than half (58%) were living in a dwelling that was overcrowded. Of these children and youth:
• 37% lived in a dwelling that needed one extra bedroom
• 22% lived in a dwelling that needed two extra bedrooms
• 14% lived in a dwelling that needed three extra bedrooms
• 26% lived in a dwelling that needed four or more extra bedrooms.
SPOTLIGHT: MEASURING OVERCROWDING
There are many ways in which people utilise the space in their home and measuring this utilisation can be done in various ways. However, no one measure will be relevant in all cultural contexts.
The Canadian National Occupancy Standard for housing appropriateness is commonly used in Australia, including as a measure for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander housing utilisation and overcrowding. However the perception and reality of whether overcrowding is experienced will also be influenced by structural and cultural considerations (Endnote 1). For example, a household that is notionally overcrowded on a measure looking at the number of persons per bedroom may be equipped with sufficient resources to comfortably house all occupants, such as extra bathrooms and food preparation areas. Climate may also have an influence on overcrowding — certain climatic conditions may encourage higher bedroom occupancies, for example in tropical climates where air conditioning may only be installed in certain rooms within a building.
Further research into the housing requirements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is needed to inform the development of housing utilisation measures that better reflect the needs and preferred living arrangements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Producing State Level Estimates of Hours Worked
The ABS publishes estimates of total hours worked by employed Australians, which complement the employment rate as a measure of economic activity and employment in Australia. They are also used as a labour input for the productivity estimates in the Australian System of National Accounts. Recently, there has been increased interest in using the these data to measure the impact of, and the recovery from, the global financial crisis and its effect on the Australian economy. In meeting user demands for finer level estimates, the ABS has improved methods of accounting for holiday effects in these time series and has published estimates at the state and territory level. These flow estimates of state level hours worked have been first published in the January 2011 Labour Force publication (cat no. 6202.0).
Accounting for holiday effects is involves a number of stages. In the context of actual hours worked data, holiday correction is a process of removing the effects of regular non-random events and is performed prior to adjusting the data for monthly seasonality. A holiday corrected series is one without known holiday impacts that is intended to reflect the hours worked in a working week unaffected by holidays. The overall process involves taking holiday corrected stock series of hours worked (derived from the ABS Monthly Population Survey) to produce monthly flow estimates of working weeks unaffected by holidays by using a linear interpolation methodology. Holiday effects are then reintroduced into these estimates to give monthly flow estimates of actual hours worked.
The effect of state specific holidays are better estimated using state level series, and such estimates were introduced earlier this year. Likewise, the effects of one-off events can be seen more clearly in these series when the impact of the event is localised geographically. For example, the estimates of hours worked for Queensland last January were noticeably affected by the wide-spread flooding occurring at that time.
The methodology for estimating and accounting for moving holidays in these series was presented at the Australian Statistical Conference in December 2010. For more information, please contact Philip Crouch at philip.crouch@abs.gov.au.

The final issue of the existing 10 quarterly PPI publications for the March quarter 2001 will be released over the next three days.
Peter Harper, Head of the ABS's Economic Accounts Division, said the new format would allow for PPI data to be integrated, giving a better picture of the wider economy.
"This restructure will provide a new and integrated focus for the PPIs which will provide users with a better understanding of price pressures as they impact on the producing sectors of the economy," he said.
"One publication will contain the International Trade Price Indexes (ITPI) and the other will contain the remaining Producer Price Indexes. The headline indicator of the new PPI publication will be the economy wide Stage of Production (SOP) indexes. All information presently published will continue to be available."
Producer Price Indexes, Australia (cat. no. 6427.0)
This new publication will contain the overarching, economy-wide Stage of Production (SOP) indexes and new integrated analysis drawn from data previously published in eight separate publications. Industry indexes will be grouped according to broad sectors of the economy.
International Trade Price Indexes, Australia (cat. no. 6457.0)
This new publication will contain data previously published in the Import Price Index and Export Price Index publications. Classifications have been standardised to allow easier comparison on a terms of trade basis. Both indexes will also be published using ABS Balance of Payments classifications.

Semantic Clustering for Large-Scale Documents.doc
Ming Liu
Abstract
Along with explosion of information, how to cluster large-scale documents has become more and more important. This paper proposes a novel document clustering algorithm (CLCL) to solve this problem. This algorithm first constructs lexical chains from feature space to reflect different topics which input documents contain, and documents also can be separated into clusters by these lexical chains. However, this separation is too rough. So, idea of self organizing mapping is used to optimize cluster partition. For agglomerating documents with semantic similarities into one cluster, influences from similar features are also considered. Experiments demonstrate that because effects of semantic similarities between different documents are considered, CLCL has better performance than traditional document clustering algorithms.

Jump to: navigation, search
This page has information about Real-time usage of Linux. Also this page has information about timing systems for Linux. This is of interest to CE Linux Forum members, because many consumer electronics products have realtime requirements (e.g. in the areas of multi-media presentation, or communications)
