If you build it, they will come. If Nile Rodgers helps builds it, they'll come dancing.
Standing in North Fork wine country, in a grassy field with fence and horse completing a scene so bucolic it belongs in a Will Moses painting, you can see Rodgers' mind turning as he surveys the scene. The music legend—cofounder of Chic, producer of acts from Diana Ross to Madonna, David Bowie to Duran Duran—is looking out at the space he will soon transform into the biggest, baddest dance floor the East End has ever seen.
"Yeah," he drawls with a cool that could drop the temperature 20 degrees, "this is going to be good." He has been working for months with the board of All For the East End (AFTEE) to curate its inaugural fundraising event—AFTEE's Nile Rodgers Dance Party East End on Monday, August 19—and his smile grows slowly as the picture of thousands of revelers dancing and singing along with Chic (and the surprise performers who Rodgers will also bring along) forms before his eyes.
For the moment, though, the Martha Clara Vineyards field is a tabula rasa, not unlike AFTEE itself when it was founded last year by Myron Levine. A board member of WPPB Radio and former board member of Southampton College, Levine envisioned a nonprofit organization (NPO) whose sole focus would be to raise money for and support more than 1,000 registered NPOs across the five East End towns (Riverhead, Shelter Island, Southampton, Southold and East Hampton). He had also been part of All for the Sea, the annual music festival held at Southampton College to raise money for the college's marine science program, so a concert-type event was a natural for Levine's organization and its first major fundraiser.
"We started with nothing," Levine says, "and in one year have raised over $270,000, gotten one of the biggest names in the music business to sign on and help us in every way possible, and lend his good name to AFTEE, is amazing."
Rodgers, an East End visitor since the 1970s, is the ideal metaphor for what's happening here, an individual of great talent and resources who, when he partners with others, in music and philanthropy, creates a sum greater than its parts. Not that you still don't need parts.
"AFTEE is a brand new organization. The last year has been spent putting in place a structure and plan for both the organization and the fundraising concert," says Kevin O'Connor, Chairman and CEO, Bridgehampton National Bank (BNB), which donated $50,000 to AFTEE, the largest sponsorship in this leading community bank's history. "It takes time, energy and the help and resources of many people."
It also takes the support of the community and those it aims to help. "It is a challenge to launch a new effort of this magnitude, but there is strong evidence that the community is responding positively to the idea and the event," says AFTEE board member Wally Smith, General Manager (Ex Officio) WPPB (88.3 FM). "This is a totally unprecedented idea and effort. It is highly unusual for multiple-purpose nonprofit organizations to collaborate on a joint fundraising project. Our success will set an example that will have national impact on the nonprofit world."
Of the 5,000 people expected to attend, 1,000 General Admission tickets regularly priced at $149 were designated for residents of the five East End towns for $50, and quickly sold out. "You know, you can eat out at almost any East End restaurant and count on spending $125, on the low side," says AFTEE Treasurer Bob Edelman, CEO of Dan's Papers. "If you're like me, you probably spend upwards of $300 per month in gas. For $300, you can dance the night away in the spectacular VIP tent with great food and wine and a top tier concert to boot. And bottom line, every dollar will go to AFTEE, and every dollar will stay here on the East End to help support all those NPOs that provide services to the needy no matter what the cause."
It was that kind of inclusive perspective and outreach into the community that got Nile Rodgers Productions on board. "We all make enough money, we do very well, so we thought, let's see if we can spread this around and build an event around a good cause," Rodgers says, noting that the exclusivity that often comes at an otherworldly price at some Hamptons events is not part of this formula. "It's almost the antithesis of doing a high-high-high-end event—let's have high-end talent, let's have a great time, and let's have the spirit be that we're doing some wonderful stuff for some wonderful people who can maybe feel the benefit of our devotion to the community. We're conscious of the effect of events like this on people."
The excitement and buzz are tangible both among fans ready to dance the night away with the man who gave the world "Le Freak" and the AFTEE board members. Of course, those can be one in the same. "Nile is curating, as he says, and producing a fabulous event for us, spanning the history of disco up to the present—with lots of surprises!" says AFTEE Executive Director Mary Morgan. "John Kowalenko of Hampton Event Management is creating an amazing VIP tent, and general admission filled with local food trucks. Barbara Frerichs, one of our board members, has led the silent-auction effort, together with Bridget Quinn. Wally Smith and Bonnie Grice of WPPB will be there live streaming the concert and interviewing the audience. And we are going to have a fun "Facebook Photo Party" sponsored by NST-LI, a network solutions provider, where people can upload photos live to our Facebook page during the concert!"
As the participants and facets of the dance party grew, so did the effort required. Producing more than 60 worldwide festivals and events a year with his company, and having done plenty of charity-related concerts, Rodgers is no stranger to the secret to pulling such a thing off in style. "People don't realize, doing concerts is not easy—it's not like just going to a bar and playing," Rodgers notes. "It's quite difficult; the technical requirements when you have multiple artists, the needs, are very specific. But you don't mind the effort, because there's a dual benefit—you're raising money, and the people in attendance are having a good time."
Which, when that crowd fills the field at Martha Clara Vineyards in mere weeks, is what it's all about. "Dance is in, and it is all about optimism and hope and it brings out the best in people," says Levine, looking forward to the big night in August and many more to come. "I hope that people have a great time and that they understand that it was organized to introduce AFTEE to the community, and it is just the beginning."

School-based physical activity: Has benefits even if it doesn't help lose weight
(21 January 2009: VIDYYA MEDICAL NEWS SERVICE) -- School-based health and exercise programs have positive outcomes despite having little effect on children's weight or the amount of exercise they do outside of school, say Cochrane Researchers who carried out a systematic review of studies on physical activity programs in schools.
The research shows that school-based programs increased the time children spent exercising and reduced the time spent watching television. Programs also reduced blood cholesterol levels and improved fitness – as measured by lung capacity. However, programs made little impact on weight, blood pressure or leisure time activities.
Physical inactivity is a key factor behind 1.9 million deaths every year and almost a quarter of all cases of coronary heart disease. People who are overweight as children are more likely to develop heart disease as adults. Exercise helps to maintain a healthy weight, yet studies show most children do not do enough exercise to give any health benefit. The World Health Organisation has identified schools as important settings for promotion of physical activity among children.
The researchers reviewed data from 26 studies of physical activity promotion programs in schools in Australia, South America, Europe and North America. Most studies tried to encourage children to exercise by explaining the health benefits and changing the school curriculum to include more physical activity for children during school hours. Programs included teacher training, educational materials and providing access to fitness equipment.
"Given that there are at least some beneficial effects, we would recommend that schools continue their health promotion programs. These activities should also be supported by public health unit staff, and parents and teachers as positive role models," says lead researcher, Maureen Dobbins, who works at the School of Nursing at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada.
Dobbins believes that schools should make spaces in their timetables to create environments that encourage pupils to engage in physical activity each day as well as having an ethos that encourages increased duration of moderate to vigorous activity each week. "Schools have great opportunities to help pupils learn how to promote health and minimise the risk of acquiring a chronic disease. Providing a healthy structure to their day should enable them to develop healthier lifestyles that may track in adulthood," she says.
She also suggests an explanation for why some programs often don't improve physical health measures such as weight and blood pressure. "Physical activity classes may be too closely associated with school work, so for some students this makes them feel like they are being made to do more work. Perhaps the key is to promote physical activity by getting children and adolescents to 'play' in ways that promote better fitness levels, while at the same time represent fun and adventurous activities," says Dobbins.

Indians bullpen holds on for 6-5 win over Royals
Carlos Santana and Asdrubal Cabrera each drove in a pair of runs, and the Cleveland Indians took advantage of some wild pitching by the Kansas City Royals in a 6-5 victory Tuesday night.
Mark Reynolds and Jason Giambi also drove in runs for the Indians, who capitalized on eight walks by Royals starter Luis Mendoza and his bullpen to win their fifth straight game.
Cody Allen (3-0) earned the win in relief for Cleveland, while Chris Perez survived putting two aboard in the ninth for his eighth save of the season.
The AL Central-leading Indians led 4-0 before Alex Gordon's grand slam in the fifth. But Royals reliever Tim Collins (2-3) walked the only two batters he faced in the seventh, Aaron Crow walked another to load the bases and Santana came through with a go-ahead sacrifice fly.
Giambi added a run-scoring double later in the seventh that proved invaluable when the Royals' Billy Butler hit an RBI double off Vinnie Pestano to make it 6-5. David Lough came to the plate with runners on the corners, but grounded into an inning-ending double play.
It was Cleveland's fifth win in its past six games against the Royals.
After going on a 14-5 run to close out June, the Indians (45-38) built on a four-game sweep of the White Sox by taking the opener of a three-game series from another division rival. It was their ninth win in 11 road games and put them seven games over .500 for the first time since May 24.
The Indians wasted little time getting on the board.
They loaded the bases with one out against Mendoza in the first before Santana recovered from a 0-2 count to walk in a run. Mendoza then uncorked a pitch that nicked Reynolds in the shoulder - and just barely missed his head - to force in another run.
Mendoza got out of the inning with a bases-loaded double play, but his erratic ways resulted in more trouble when the fourth inning rolled around.
This time, Mendoza gave up consecutive singles to Giambi and Lonnie Chisenhall and a one-out walk to Michael Brantley to load the bases. Cabrera slipped a single through the right side of the infield to make it 4-0 before Jason Kipnis grounded into another inning-ending double play.
Corey Kluber, who gave up seven runs without making it through the fifth his last time out, was having his way with the Royals' still-scuffling lineup the first couple times through it.
The right-hander ran into trouble in the fifth inning.
Mike Moustakas and Lough singled and Johnny Giavotella walked to load the bases with nobody out. Jarrod Dyson flied to left field, and Moustakas thought about tagging up, but he ultimately thought better of it and scampered back to third base.
No matter: Gordon was waiting in the on-deck circle.
The Royals' leadoff hitter was swinging on a 3-0 pitch and drilled the ball to right field, clearing the fence with ease and pulling the Royals into a 4-4 tie. It was Gordon's second grand slam of the season and the third for Kansas City.
It was also the Royals' biggest highlight once their bullpen started to falter.
Notes: Indians RHP Zach McAllister (sprained right middle finger) felt good after throwing 45 pitches in a bullpen session, Indians manager Terry Francona said. ... Mendoza entered the game with a 2.35 ERA in his past four home starts. ... LHP Scott Kazmir will start Game 2 of the series for Cleveland against Royals RHP Jeremy Guthrie.

Why Give?
Since 1977, FaithTrust Institute has addressed violence in our communities through our prevention and intervention training and educational materials. As a multifaith nonprofit, we bring a unique perspective that empowers victims and survivors to draw upon faith as a resource. We are also dedicated to the elimination of the misuse of faith, which can be a roadblock on the path to healing.
Why Our Donors Give
Representing Individuals: Gail and Allen Hinand
香蕉视频app安卓For many years, Dr. Gail Hinand, retired vice president and director of counseling at Massachusetts College of Arts, and retired American Baptist minister Rev. Allen Hinand have been concerned about domestic violence in families within their churches. They are even more concerned about sexual abuse by clergy and how damaging it is to those victimized, their families and their congregations. Gail and Allen support FaithTrust Institute because We have had women come to us for counseling who have said they didn't believe their faith community would help them deal with rape or incest. We told them about this national organization that is about changing religious institutions so that people can get the help they need from their faith communities Gail and Allen know that there are many more safe sanctuaries now than there were 20 years ago because of the work of FaithTrust Institute. They also know that there is much more work to be done and they want to continue to be a part of that through their continued support.
Representing Faith Communities: Rev. Donna Frey DeCou, Ravenna Presbyterian Church
As the retired minister of Ravenna Presbyterian Church, Donna supports the work of FaithTrust Institute because she fully respects FaithTrust Institute's bold proclamation of naming the abuse and identifying its causes in various situations. Additionally, she states "FaithTrust Institute's education and awareness approach is most effective at getting to the root causes of sexual and domestic violence." Donna also values our interfaith and ecumenical approach which reveals that "FaithTrust Institute is committed to addressing this problem in all religious areas and truly bringing religious institutions to a place of accountability and authenticity." Rev. Donna Frey Decou has also supported our work through congregational outreach programs that provide financial gifts to various nonprofits.

Legionnaires continually provide an abundance of emotional and financial support to their fellow veterans. Army Infantryman Tim Senkowski of Anderson, Ind., who lost both his legs in October 2011 to an improvised explosive device while serving in Afghanistan, is witnessing this unconditional generosity firsthand.
Senkowski will soon have a new home to accommodate his ongoing needs thanks to Homes for Hoosier Heroes, which is an initiative launched by The Path Home — a nonprofit outreach organization founded by Indiana Legionnaires Bob Luenebrink and Frank Parks that gives free home-related assistance to veterans and their families.
"Building this home for Tim Senkowski is just one year of our work at The Path Home, but Tim will live with the sacrifices that he has made for our country for the rest of his life," Luenebrink said, a member of American Legion Post 145 in Avon, Ind. "It is the least we can do for all he has done for our freedom."
The Path Home received word about Senkowski's condition from his mother when she called seeking assistance in getting his wife and two young sons to and from Walter Reed Army Medical Center where Senkowski was undergoing treatment. The Path Home raised $2,700 to cover transportation, housing and food for the family by asking many Indiana Legion posts to provide $100 each.
"There is camaraderie from serving and a sense of always wanting to give to those who wore the uniform," said Ralph "Zoc" Zoccolillo, Indiana Blue Star Salute program chairman and member of Post 145. "Veterans fought for their country, and they still fight for the people of their country."
The Path Home also learned that Senkowski's wife, who has the autoimmune disease lupus, and his two children, one with Autism, were living in his parent's house while his parents moved in to the garage. Not only was the family crammed in a confined space, the home was not wheelchair accessible for Senkowski. "So we decided we were going to build a permanent home for them, and the plans to do so took off when we created the program Homes for Hoosier Heroes," Luenebrink said.
"I deeply appreciate everything they are doing for us," Senkowski said. "It's not only giving us a house, it's giving us a home. This will be the first stable thing my wife and I have ever had."
The Senkowski's home will be built in Anderson, Ind., on a six-acre plot. The property owner provided a significant discount due to Tim being a veteran, and Homes for Hoosier Heroes is paying the remaining $55,000 balance by conducting fundraising efforts in partnership with Indiana organizations. "We always talk about how we are going to take care of veterans when they come home, and the fundraising efforts for the Senkowski family home is a perfect example of how a community is doing it," Luenebrink said.
The organizations, including Legion posts, Blue Star Salute program, Ricker Oil Company, Briljent Corporation, Central Indiana Building Construction Trade (CIBCT) and Veterans of Foreign Wars, "are making it possible for The Path Home and Homes for Hoosier Heroes to build Senowski and his family a new life," Parks said.
Ricker Oil, a family-owned business in Anderson, raised and donated $20,000, and CIBCT — a council group of 18 union construction crafts — is providing free material and labor.
As a Blue Star Salute sponsor, the CIBCT council heard about Senkowski through Zoccolillo. "We were absolutely all on board for building the home," said Michael Brooks, a member of CIBCT. "A lot of our members are veterans or have family members currently serving, and there's no wrong time to do the right thing and this is the right thing to help this family out."
Employees of Briljent Corp., raised $3,000 simply by hosting Crockpot luncheons, an effort led by Keith Hubbard, Briljent's sole proprietorship manager and a member of Post 86 in Alexandria, Ind. Briljent management matched what the employees raised, totaling $6,000 for Senkowksi's home.
"The Crockpot luncheon is an example of how one American Legion member can lead outside of the post and get the community to support our returning veterans," Luenebrink said. "The American Legion leads the way in doing things for their family and that's why we are called The American Legion Family."

The Massachusetts Secretary of State's office has issued a subpoena to the brother of TelexFREE co-founder James Merrill.
John Merrill, who is the chief financial designer and chief lending officer at Fidelity Bank, is scheduled to meet with the securities division next Thursday, according to Brian McNiff, a spokesman for William Galvin.
McNiff said TelexFREE, which has been charged by Galvin's office and the Securities and Exchange Commission with running a worldwide pyramid scheme, is suspected of putting millions of dollars into accounts at Fidelity.
Karen Schwartzman, a spokeswoman hired by the bank, confirmed the Marlborough-based company had opened accounts there, but that they were closed months later. She said she would not provide any further details about the accounts, including when they were opened and closed, but that Fidelity at the time had not been aware of any government investigation into TelexFREE.
"We have no reason to believe the bank did anything wrong," Schwartzman said. "We're cooperating fully with law enforcement and have been since this matter first surfaced, and we're fully transparent with our regulators."
She added Fidelity's audit committee is undertaking an independent investigation to "make sure no inappropriate handling of accounts" occurred.
James Merrill, who was arrested by federal officials on May 9 and charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, is being held in custody after being denied bail at a hearing in U.S. District Court in Worcester earlier this week.
TelexFREE's other co-owner, Carlos Wanzeler, is believed by authorities to be in Brazil. He is considered a fugitive.

LAB 2 WRITE-UP: Redesigning Open PCR for Autism Detection
Thermal Cycler Engineering
Our re-design is based upon the Open PCR system originally designed by Josh Perfetto and Tito Jankowski.
Material Tables
PCR Protocol Step by Step instruction to amplify the Patient's DNA Sample:
1. Need to extract the DNA from the patient.
2. Put the DNA into the special PCR tube.
3. Add forward primer (Autism) to the PCR tube with the DNA.
4. Add reverse primer (Autism) to the PCR tube with DNA.
5. Add Nucleotides (the A,C,T,and G).
6. Add the DNA polymerase to the PCR tube.
7. Place the PCR tube into the thermal cycler.
8. Set the temperature of the thermal cycler to 95°C and set the machine to run 30 cycles.
9. Now the thermal cycler cools down to 50°C and forward and reverse primer attach to the single strands of DNA.
10. Now the thermal cycler temperature changes to 72°C. This begins the DNA polymerase. This pairs the DNA with its complimentary nucleotide through to the end of the DNA strand.
11. Repeat step 8-10 29 more times.
12. During cycle #3 the wanted DNA begins to appear.
13. The wanted piece of the DNA begins to double.
14. After 30 cycles are complete over a billion wanted DNA fragments will show in the DNA solution and there will be 60 copies of unwanted DNA molecules in the solution.
1. Turn on the blue light in the Flourimeter using the switch for the Blue LED.
2. Place the smart phone in the cradle provided at the right angle and distance from the slide.
3. Turn on the camera on the phone. TURN OFF THE FLASH. Set the ISO to 800 or higher. Increase the exposure to maximum.
4. Adjust the distance between phone and the first two rows of dots of the slide so that the picture will be clear and the camera does not give a blurred image.
5.First label the blank pipettes according to the patients (A,B,C,D... all eight of them). The pipettes given by the instructor are color coded. The white coded pipette is used for water. the red coded pipette is used for the calibrator (the tube with the red dot). The blue coded pipette is used for the sybrgreen (the tube with the blue dot). The black coded pipette is used to pick up the waste and put it in the cup that collects the waste droplets.
6. Align the slide so that the blue dot passed between the first two dots on the slide in the middle column. First calibrate the machine (to make sure the machine works). To calibrate the machine first put two drops of water on each dot and if the droplets are not connected then add a third droplet to combine the two separate droplets to one droplet. Put two droplets of the cyber green on the first two dots in the middle.
7. Then set the smart phone accordingly to take a clear picture of the droplet. Then put the black box on top of the phone and the machine so that when the the light is completely blocked and the shade of blue of green is shown when the picture is taken.
8. Record observations.
9. Remove the solution from the glass dish using the black pipette and discard it in the plastic cup given for the waste droplets.
10.Repeat step 6-9, but instead of adding calibrator solution, add 2 droplets of water.
11.Repeat steps 6-9 for patient 1 solutions (A,B,C,D) and patient 2 solutions (A2.B2,C2,D2).
Research and Development
Background on Disease Markers
rs122468182 [Homo sapiens]
DNA Sequence: CCTCAAATGATTATTTAGATCCAGAA[G/T]ATAGAAAGTTTTTGGAAAGTTATGC
Alleles: [G/T] Allele Change: TAT --> GAT
Forward Primer: 3' AGAAACTAGTAGTAACTTCC 5'
Reverse Primer: 3' AGATCCAGAAGATAGAAAGTT 5'
The allele change is from T to G, which will be replicated in the PCR because the primer design is constructed to detect this specific mutation. Detecting the allele change signifies that this is a positive sample, in other words Autism is likely to develop in the patient. If the allele change had not occurred, the PCR will not replicate this gene at full out. The positive reading has shows an exponential growth while the negative one is more linear, essentially the difference between the positive and negative strands is quite obvious in the number of replications that each of them produce.
Bayes Rule
P(A|B) is the probability that Autism will occur in a positive sample (PCR Test Result). P(B|A)is the probability that child will test positive for Autism. P(A) is the probability of having Autism in the mutation and P(B) is the probability of humans without the Autism mutation that could yield positive results.

Should We Pray for the departed and seek their intercession?
Submitted by admin on Fri, 2011-01-21 01:56
The Apostles Creed says, "We believe in the Communion of Saints." It means that we are in communion with the saints living and departed as both belonging to one body of Christ, the Church. Any perfect prayers includes the whole church here and beyond.
(a) The Believers in Christ have had the eternal life here itself (Jn. 3. 16) and they have no death (Jn. 11:26). We are not praying for the dead, but for the departed ones.
(b) The departed are with the Lord (Col. 3: 1) and around us as a cloud of witnesses and so they can hear our prayers (Heb. 12: 1, 22). We are seated in heaven (Eph. 2:6).
(c) The church, being the one and only body of Christ, has the blood circulation of prayer from which no part of the body is excluded (Rom. 12: 4-5; I Cor.12: 12 etc).
(d) Ps. 115: 17 must be read with the following verse which says, "but we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore." In Rev. 7: 13-17 we see the saints praying to God day and night in their departed status.
(e) Even the wicked rich man in Hades prayed for his five brothers (Lk. 16: 28). The gulf between Hades and Paradise was bridged by the descent of Christ to Hades soon after His crucifixion (I Pet. 3: 18; 4: 6),.Christ preached to the disobedient souls.
(f) In the 0. T. period prayers for the departed was a common practice. (Dt. 34: 8). There are clear prayers for the departed souls in II Maccabees 12: 44-46.
(g) "Blessed be he by the Lord, whose kindness. has not forsaken the living or the dead" (Ruth 2: 20).The Love of God is everlasting and knows no limits. (I Cor. 13: 8, 13)
(h) St. Paul prayed for the departed Onesiphorus (II Tim 1:18, 4: 19). The New English Bible adds "I pray" in this verse. The form itself is that of the usual prayer for the departed. See Dummalow Commentary on this text.
(i) Can the children forget their parents when they are buried? (I Tim. 5: 4). Is it possible not to pray for the loving departed? Love demands that we pray for them and leave the result to Him.

Both servers are running Server 2012 R2.
I have gone through the Administrator guide & other than the one error documented in the KB (don't add the IUSR account to the guests group) everything has installed smoothly & works fine, as long as I access the portal URLs using the netbios/machinename (eg: http://pwmdmzportal/PM/Admin).
I added a SSL certificate to the site and found that I get the following error when I access the URL via FQDN (eg: https://pwmdmzportal...me.com/PM/Admin)
Fatal error. Please make sure that the service Netwrix Password Manager is running and available. 006~ASP 0178~Server.CreateObject Access Error~The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking permissions. Access is denied to this object. -2147024891
I found that SSL was not the culprit, accessing http://pwmdmzportal....me.com/PM/Admin returned the same error message.
I tried changing the value for the server running the password manager service from a short machine name to its FQDN (page 23, step 5 in the administrator guide) & rebooting both servers, and I'm still getting the error when accessing the FQDN.
Has anyone else run into this issue?
Also as a FYI, I found one other bug with the installation that I didnt see documented anywhere. None of the notification emails were going out initially, it looks like when you install with the /dmz flag the Templates directory is not installed on the backend server. I had to copy it from the front end server to the back end server to get emails working.

Syria has approved the U.N. appointment of a Swedish scientist to probe allegations of chemical weapons being used in the conflict-ravaged country, Al Arabiya correspondent reported on Wednesday.
The correspondent, quoting official sources, added that the U.N. investigation team will arrive in Syria next week and that the inspections will include the areas of Homs, Otaiba, Khan al-Assal.
On Tuesday, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has appointed a Swedish professor who was a U.N. chemical weapons inspector in Iraq and now works at a research institute that deals with chemical incidents to head the U.N. fact-finding mission that will investigate allegations of the reported use of chemical weapons in Syria.
U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky called Ake Sellstrom "an accomplished scientist with a solid background in disarmament and international security."
Sellstrom was a chief inspector for UNSCOM, the U.N. inspection team that investigated and dismantled Iraq's biological and chemical weapons programs in the 1990s.
Sellstrom also worked with UNMOVIC, the U.N. group that returned to Iraq in 2002 and found no solid evidence Baghdad had revived its banned arms programs before the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.
Nesirky said the investigation would be technical and not a criminal investigation, looking at whether chemical weapons were used and not at who may have used them.
Both Syrian regime and opposition exchanged accusations that chemical weapons were used.
Syria asked the secretary-general to investigate an alleged chemical weapons attack on March 19, and Britain and France have asked for an investigation of two other alleged attacks.
However, U.S. and European officials say there is no evidence of a chemical weapons attack, but the allegations of the rebels are worth taking seriously.
If one were to be confirmed, it would be the first use of such weapons in the two-year-old Syrian conflict, which the United Nations says has cost 70,000 lives.
France and Britain wrote to Ban on Thursday to draw his attention to rebel allegations of an attack near Damascus, as well as one in Homs in late December. The rebels blame Syria's government for those incidents as well as the Aleppo attack.
Ban made clear on Thursday that the investigation would initially focus on the Aleppo incident, in which the government and rebels accuse each other of firing a missile laden with chemicals, killing 26 people.
But he has left open the possibility that the investigation could be broadened. In a letter to the Security Council on Friday, Ban said he had asked Britain, France and Syria for further information on the other alleged chemical attacks "with a view to verifying any alleged use of chemical weapons in Syria."
Britain's U.N. Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant told reporters on Tuesday that he has provided Ban's office with "furtherin formation" about the alleged chemical attacks in Syria. He declined to provide details.

The purpose of this study was to examine whether maternal personality (i.e., Agreeableness and Conscientiousness) predicted maternal positive parenting (i.e., warmth/sensitivity and structure), and whether maternal parenting predicted children's regulation and sympathy and/or prosocial behavior. Additionally, the mediated effect of maternal warmth/sensitivity on the relation between maternal Agreeableness and children's regulation and the mediated effect of maternal structure on the relation between maternal Agreeableness and children's observed sympathy/prosocial behavior were investigated. Maternal personality was measured when children (N = 256 at Time 1) were 18 months old; maternal parenting was assessed when children were 18, 30, and 42 months old; …

IBM Labs has squeezed out a beta version of a Firefox add-on that records a user's online activities so they can be repeated automatically or be printed out for others as step-by-step instructions.
Concocted by IBM Almaden Research Center, the CoScripter Reusable History add-on is designed to reduce repetitive browser-based grunt work such as logging into a company's intranet site or filling out familiar forms.
Big Blue also reckons CoScripter can be used to publish logs of a user's web browsing history — should such a potentially reckless fancy ever strike you — such as registering for a conference, making travel arrangements, or showing a colleague how to gather and analyze certain data. (Of course, it could be used for less benevolent activities when insidious minds meet the unobservant or unaware. But ain't that just the story of the internet?)
CoScripter goes beyond regular browser history functionality by recording activity at the level of website interactions, such as clicking on a link or entering text into a form field. Users can then review what IBM calls an "actionshot" of their history as an easy-to-read script that can be used or shared for future use.
Running the script through CoScripter makes the browser repeat the recorded sequence automatically. Here's the video demo:
IBM Labs has been cooking up milestone releases of CoScripter since mid-2007, but today marks the first beta release of the Firefox add-on.
"I have been using CoScripter Resuable History for more than a year on my primary computer, and I've found it to be very useful," wrote CoScripter team member Jeffrey Nichols in a blog post. "If a colleague has a question about an internal business process that I've gone though, such as a corporate naming request, I can simply search my recorded history, copy out the relevant actions, and share them with my colleague."
IBM has also set up a community database where users can share scripts — for tasks such as updating your Facebook status or visiting the A?cm digital library. (Although due to how easy it would be for someone to make a script that leads users to a phishing or scam website, we recommend checking anyone else's script thoroughly before running it).
The add-on works for all versions of Firefox 3.5, but it's currently incompatible with the latest Firefox version 3.6. An IBM spokeswoman told El Reg an update is expected to remedy this by the end of the week.
CoScripter Reusable History can be downloaded here, although it unfortunately requires registration with IBM's developerWorks beforehand. ®
