Total parenteral (intravenous) nutrition in the home setting (Home TPN or HPN) is a life saving strategy in patients who suffer from severe intestinal failure. Unfortunately, this treatment modality remains complicated by the development of frequent infectious complications. This especially relates to the device that is used to establish venous access, mostly a catheter (Hickman-Broviac type) or a port-a-cath.
Taurolodine is an antimicrobial agent without any known side effects or resistance-related problems that holds promise as an effective antibiotic lock solution to prevent catheter infections, as demonstrated recently in a pilot study in HPN patients [Jurewitsch, 2005].
In addition, recently a test has been described which may enable to confirm a suspected diagnosis of central line infection within one hour, the so-called Acridine Orange Leukocyte Cytospin test (AOLC) [Bong, 2003]. For this test, blood that is drawn from the central line is stained with the fluorescent dye acridine orange. Next, microscopic evaluation for the presence of micro-organisms takes place. Implementation of this test might enable to start treatment of the infection and prevent unnecessary removal of non-infected central lines without the necessity to several days wait for culture results.

|Official Title:
|The AOT (Acridine Orange and Taurolidine) Trial: a Survey on Diagnosis and Prevention of Catheter-Related Infections in Patients on Home Parenteral Nutrition
- time between episodes of central line infection in one patient
- outcome of acridine orange staining test compared to culture results

|March 2008
|Primary Completion Date:
|March 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Two hypotheses will be tested in the AOT trial:
- The use of taurolidine as an antibiotic lock (5 mL) to flush the central line after infusing the TPN formulation, when compared to the present use of heparin solution (5 mL, 150 E/mL) decreases the rate of catheter-related infections in HPN patients
- Implementation of the acridine orange staining test allows an earlier diagnosis (or rejection of this diagnosis) compared to culture results. Importantly, in the present trial the results of this test will not be used for treatment decisions.
To this end, patients who are admitted to the clinical ward because of suspected central line infection (mostly because of fever and/or chills) will be treated according to the current protocol for catheter sepsis, after obtaining central line and peripheral blood cultures. This protocol includes the administration of medicinase through the central line and i.v. antibiotics peripherally. After obtaining informed consent, in addition 5 cc of EDTA blood will be drawn from the central line to perform (within 24 hours) the acridine orange cytospin staining test and a Gram stain. These results will than be compared to the culture results. Based on culture results, the antibiotics will be tailored.
If the patient recovers and TPN administration can be restarted, randomisation between heparin lock (5 mL, 150 E/mL) versus taurolidine lock solution 2% (5 mL) will take place. In case the catheter has to be removed because of ongoing or recurrent sepsis, randomisation takes place after a new central line has been placed and the patient continues on TPN.
A new episode of proven catheter sepsis is considered as the primary end-point.

Transformation and Tidewater
Transformation is much more alive among allies and coalition partners than it seems to be in the
Between 2001 and about 2005, the Office of Force Transformation (OFT) in the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) focused on ways to shape the nature of military competition. The goal was to gain an enduring advantage for the
NATO's Allied Command Transformation (ACT), whose title stimulates thoughts about what the term "transformation" means today, has contributed to a variety of studies since 2005 about the complex military picture. These studies, from the U.S. Joint Forces Command's (JFCOM's) Joint Operating Environment (JOE) to the ACT's Multiple Futures Project (MFP), have pointed to complex, chaotic futures filled with surprises. Such environments are populated with "wicked" problems such as climate change, terrorism and failed states, which do not lend themselves to classical forms of analysis and for which there usually are no common definitions of the problem or agreements on the solution. Relations among participants in national security spaces are likely to reflect concurrent states of cooperation, competition and conflict, as opposed to neat transitions from one state to another. These uncertainties will be amplified by exponential technological change across several parallel scientific revolutions: information technology, biotechnology, nanotechnology, robotics, searches for alternatives to hydrocarbons and socio-cognitive research.
An enduring advantage of any sort is unlikely in these environments. The nation will need agility, endurance and resilience when surprised—as it inevitably will be.
We cannot address such futures with familiar, comfortable approaches. Neither are unilateral government solutions and unchanging courses of action likely to work. Instead, public-private, whole-of-government, transnational collaborative engagements offer more promise. The spectacular contributions of crowd sourcing and distributed collaboration in
A key question is how to design our institutions to take advantage of these conditions and how to develop leaders to lead them. Repeated studies show that organizations must flatten and decentralize, and that out-learning adversaries is essential to success. Leaders of such organizations need to be comfortable with uncertainty and ambiguity, and they must be committed to lifelong learning. Identifying and developing such leaders is a growing priority.
In this environment, education—preparation for the unknown—becomes a strategic asset for both the
Transformation in these conditions must be seen as a process that shapes the changing nature of competition and cooperation through concept development and innovation management across four dimensions: people, processes, organizations and technology. In the NATO context, some of the transformative work at ACT is helping to illuminate the roles of small nations within the alliance, understand hybrid and cyber challenges, develop capabilities for NATO's Comprehensive Approach—which is comparable to U.S. concepts of complex, civil-military operations—and improve defense planning within the alliance. It also recognizes that future conflicts may not all be small wars.
Transformational concepts have come a long way—in only a few years—from trying to ensure an enduring
This month's Joint Warfighting Conference brings many AFCEANs back to Tidewater and the great assembly of military capabilities there. Among these is the headquarters of ACT. This conference offers all attendees a chance to think about ways ahead in a rapidly changing world. They may or may not like the term transformation, but they need to acknowledge that today's solutions will not solve tomorrow's problems.

Time: 8PM EST -- A little earlier this time for east coasters.
Duration: at least three hours, maybe more
Where: Blackhand server, Horde. The Sepulcher in Silverpine Forest.
How Do I Get There? Head toward Undercity. If you're undead you just follow the main road and watch for signs. The main city gates are just past Brill. If you're Tauren, Orc or Troll there is an airship tower dock just outside of Orgimmar you can take straight to the undead area. Keep in mind one platform goes to the jungle so make sure you pick the right ship!
If you are looking at the Gates of Undercity take the road to the right and head into Silverpine Forest. Follow the road until you cross the bridge, then take the first right. Make sure to pick up the Bat travel node once you get into town.
For detailed maps go here > Article on Traveling Between the Starting Zones.
What Level? Level 12+. Lots of quests and mobs of the appropriate level.
How will it work GWJ guilders will meet in town and form up into parties and then start questing. Since there is no "official" leader simply pick some members from the folks who show up and head out! I added an online time so as to have an idea as to when the majority of folks will be on.
Who will be there and when? [size=9]post your info and I'll add it to the list[/size]
Dyrtnap - Undead Mage - RichyRambo - 8:00pm (EST)
Dramarlyn - Tauren Hunter - Dramatic Marlin - 8:30pm (EST)
Urgh - Troll Hunter - Propagandalf - 9:00pm (CST)
Dramarlyn - Tauren Hunter - Dramatic Marlin - 8:30pm (EST)
Urgh - Troll Hunter - Propagandalf - 9 (CST)
Well, I just found out my wife bought a new dining table set, which means I''ll be unloading it and settin it up when I get home. So, I will probably be on too late to participate.
I need to get over my jet lag and get some play time in to catch up with you guys. I''ll be up for next week.
Will be on a little later.
So how''d it go? What level are you guys now and what quests are you running? I''d like to keep up so that I can make it next week.
My apologies to the group I had to bail on. Outage at work and I needed to stop the bleeding.
Speaking of which, anyone know the details on Ragefire in regards to appropriate levels?
I went through it at level 16 (with deaths) and a 5 person group. Not too bad.
I still have some work to do in Silverpine. Made it to about 14.5 last night.
It was a small but good group of myself (Dyrtnap), Dramarlyn, Eagleclaw, and Shattermaw.
Earlier Shotgun Phil and Hubbinsd were on to wrap up some quests in Brill.
I''m going to try to get to 16 by next Wed and maybe shoot for Ragefire.
My priest (Hubb) will be level 16 or 17 and ready to go on Wednesday. Is Ragefire the area in the Cleft of Darkness (*giggle*) in Orgrimmar?
What time/where should we meet? May I suggest earlier than 9 EST if we''re to attempt Ragefire?
I''ll join if 19 (close to 20) is not to high. If it is to high I need to get my shaman up there - and I''m not sure If I have the time to do that before Wednesday.

Banana Ganache Tart with Peanut Butter Cookie Crust (Gluten Free)
[Peanut butter, Banana, Chocolate… Elvis would be in culinary heaven. This combination of flavors stood out to me while looking at Darla's Cake Blog. She graciously agreed to contribute this recipe for GF Week. You will need to use her peanut butter cookie recipe for the crust in this recipe, which you can find at: http://www.cakedarla.com/2010/11/gluten-free-peanut-butter-cookies.html Thank you Darla!]
All I did was press the cookie dough thinly, yet evenly into the base of an 8 inch loose-bottom tart pan (you could also press it up the sides as well). I baked it for around 10 minutes. Since the dough was thinner than the cookies I kept my eye on it so it wouldn't burn. It came out of the oven looking fine and smelling awesome.
I stumbled upon a recipe for Banana Ganache on the Kitchen Unplugged blog. Only she calls it "Choco-ban-nache" which is a name I love, but won't steal. Her recipe was more traditional, with heavy cream and corn syrup, so I put in my usual substitutions.
Banana Ganche pie filling:
8 ounces chocolate (I had 60% chips in my pantry, so that's what I grabbed.)
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 very ripe bananas, pureed
2 tablespoons maple syrup (I may omit this next time, as the ganache is really sweet.)
Heat coconut milk and maple syrup over medium heat until almost boiling.
Pour over chocolate and stir until thoroughly melted.
It will go all smooth and shiny.
Allow to cool, then chill in refrigerator until a pudding-like consistency. Pour into baked pie crust then return to refrigerator and chill until set.
Now, this isn't one to make ahead of time if you want a nice crunchy crust, because it will go soft and cake-like after a day or so. It's still yummy, just more of a brownie-type texture. The banana ganache stays smooth and pudding-like. Feel free to serve with a dollop of… something. I vote for vanilla coconut milk ice cream, but I put that stuff on nearly everything.

NEW YORK (Mar. 21)
The National Conference on Soviet Jewry said today that reports that the Soviet Union will not implement the head tax law "reflects the importance of public action on behalf of Soviet Jews." Richard Maass, NCSJ chairman, commented: "We are encouraged by this latest announcement and believe that this is a positive step and, of course, a welcome one. But we must wait and see whether in fact the non-application of the tax will be applied to all Soviet Jews and is not meant as a quick appeasement to mounting pressure which the Soviet Union can again reinstate."
Maass added: "However, the basic emigration problems have not altered and the situation remains the same as it was prior to August 16" when the head tax law was promulgated. "The more fundamental problem of the denial of the basic human right to emigrate without arbitrary restrictions or procedures, and to practice one's religious beliefs freely and without harassment" was not dealt with in the report by Victor Louis, Maass noted.
Israel lags behind the West in the number of university graduates entering the job market each year despite the fact that it has six major institutions of higher learning serving a population of barely three million. Aryeh Gurel, director general of the Labor Ministry told the Knesset Finance Committee yesterday that Israel must gear its economy to absorb more college graduates. He said that 13.6 percent of the American labor force is comprised of college graduates and predicted that only nine percent of Israel's labor force will be made up of graduates five years from now.
Israel's growing self-sufficiency in arms production was reflected-in a report today released in Tel Aviv that 54% of the national expenditure for defense is earmarked for the acquisition and development of weapons in Israel. The defense budget has been set at II, 6.4 billion of which 60% is in Israel pounds for arms purchases at home.

The times they are a-changin' on Los Angeles' Sunset Strip.
The historic area, best known for being a musicians' hangout from the Doors' early days in the '60s up until the early '90s as glam metal tailed off, will reportedly lose another music venue soon: the House of Blues.
CBS Radio's K-Earth reports that the venue is going to be demolished to make way for a hotel development. AECOM and developer Combined Properties Inc. are reportedly planning on constructing "149 hotel rooms, 40 condos, five rental units and an entertainment venue at the House of Blues site" starting as early as 2015.
The House of Blues' shutter follows in the wake of the Key Club's closure – which had opened in 1967 with bands like the Doors, the Byrds, and Van Halen on their marquee and more recently hosted many rap acts.
House of Blues however will continue to operate in Los Angeles in another location. Ashton Spatz, a representative from LiveNation told The Los Angeles Times that the venue will "operate business as usual while we look for a new home." Spatz added, "We have 2+ years to find that perfect spot for a new Los Angeles House of Blues home with no interruption for music fans. Stay tuned. The best is yet to come!"

More than 300,000 devices have been compromised in a small office/home office (SOHO) pharming campaign affecting Europe and Asia, according to a recent Cymru report.
Attackers have altered the DNS settings of several Wi-Fi routers to send requests to new IP addresses and redirect victims to the attackers' domains. Taking advantage of vulnerabilities in the routers' firmware, hackers could download the users' stored router login credentials.
A wide range of device models were affected, including from manufacturers D-Link, Micronet, Tenda, TP-Link and others. Compromised routers were mainly in Vietnam, Italy, Thailand, Indonesia, Colombia, Turkey, Ukraine, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia.
A similar technique was exposed by CERT Poland researchers. DNS servers where used in a two-stage attack against customers of the Polish mBank and four Polish banks. Hackers compromised some 80 routers and used socially-engineered text messages to mislead victims into transferring money into the hackers' accounts.
"These compromises are a good reminder that DNS can be abused for malware command and control and data exfiltration as well as the man-in-the-middle techniques observed here," Cymru researchers said. "DNS settings should be corporately controlled and potentially set at the host level as part of a secure, baseline exfiltration. Individual users should not have the privileges to choose their own DNS settings."

Making a business out of memes like silly cat captions and unfortunately juxtaposed images is nothing to LOL about. It takes a sharp sense of what will work with the audience to get an idea off the ground.
Fresh off the release of the latest book in the I Can Has Cheezburger canon, we caught up with Ben Huh, founder and CEO of the Cheezburger Network, to talk about how he vets new ideas and introduces them to the Cheezburger community, like the recently launched If Shoes Could Kill. "Without a passionate audience, you can't really make user-generated content work," he says in part one of our Media Beat interview. "We're looking for that nugget of passion. We're looking for people who really want to engage with it… [We] see if that community exists. And if it does, [we] find a way to broaden that experience."
Huh also reveals how you know when it's time to kill an idea that's just not working: "You try to push it and you prod it, and you try to give it a little bit more time, and you start to understand that there's a feeling of… This is as big as it's gonna get."

Dining out should be an enjoyable experience for every customer. But like most things in life, restaurants aren't perfect and neither are dining experiences. Just how much slack should we, the customers, be willing to give? I've come up with some issues and some suggestions on how to handle them. In deciding what to do in a restaurant when something comes up, the rules of thumb are: Be Fair; Be Nice; but Don't Be Intimidated. Letting things go doesn't improve the restaurant, it raises your stress level, and often means lost business in an industry that can't afford to lose any.
1. You order a cocktail. The glass arrives with lipstick on the rim. What do you do?
A friend recently had that happen. He very nicely called the waiter to the table and pointed out that he didn't wear lipstick and would he mind bringing a new drink. By the customer's being light-hearted about the issue, the waiter didn't feel attacked. He happily brought a new drink and deducted the cost from the bill even though he didn't have to. Under no circumstances should a customer tolerate dirty table linen, a dirty table, or greasy condiment bottles or table ware.
2. You are seated at the worst table in the restaurant - right by the swinging kitchen door.
Don't hesitate to ask the host or hostess if another table is available. If there isn't one, suggest you wait in the bar and have a drink until one comes available. Remember, this is supposed to be an enjoyable experience.
3. Two of you sit down at a table set for four, choosing the outside seats, which are more comfortable for you. The waiter removes the table settings in front of you, hoping you'll move to the inside seats. (I have no clue why restaurants would rather have patrons on the inside).
No, you don't have to move. Simply tell the waiter you prefer the outside seats. If the settings aren't moved for you, just move them yourself - and don't give a very generous tip.
4. Your food arrives at the table cold.
Send it back! You are paying for it, and you do not ever eat food cold that is supposed to be hot. No excuses for the restaurant. And, if your plate needs to go back, especially in a high end restaurant, everyone's plates should be held so you are all served at once. There is no excuse for cold food in any restaurant.
5. Your food arrives and it is not as described on the menu. Perhaps the kitchen decided to change the side dishes, and you don't like the substitution. A good waiter will let you know. Perhaps the meat was over- or undercooked, or it simply doesn't taste good. The wine you ordered tastes "off" or you simply don't like the recommendation from the waiter.
Bring the waiter back to the table. Nicely explain the problem and ask for a replacement. As a customer, you have the right to receive what you ordered and have it cooked to your specifications. Never drink bad wine or a recommended wine that you don't like. And no, you don't pay twice for your food or drink. Most fine dining establishments will often not charge for the service error and will certainly not charge you for bad wine. If the waiter argues with you, ask to speak to a manager. The waiter's job is to serve, not defend.
Happy customers are return customers, and most restaurants will do anything in their power to keep you happy. Take charge of your dining experience. Once you do, you will really enjoy it.

This is a drop in replacement for the circular throat disk that sits in the bandsaw table.
Since this is zero clearance, you will need to turn on the bandsaw and cut a slot in the throat disk. Use the slotline on the top of the disk as a guide. The disk should drop in to the bandsaw table snugly. If your printer is generating out-of-round circles, then this won't fit. Tighten your belts and try again.

I just finished printing one using white ABS and it fit very well though just a hair lower than the table surface. My original Delta band saw insert (like yours from the photo) has a bump that keeps the insert from rotating - I wonder if that's worth adding to the model.
I suppose it would be quite simple to add the bump.
Apparently ABS shrinks a bit more than PLA. You can adjust that in the SCAD.
Great idea!
Whoops. Here it is. I meant to put up the stl not the gcode.

Malcolm Johnson's introduction to college football didn't exactly get off on the right foot, literally. The Mississippi State 2010 signee was only on campus a few days before he suffered a broken bone in his right foot.
Naturally, Johnson was behind his teammates last summer in offseason workouts. But the Tuscaloosa, Ala., native said he didn't worry about something he couldn't control and made the best of his redshirt season.
"In the beginning it was frustrating," said Johnson. "But at the same time you have to realize everything happens for a reason. Looking at it from an athletic and educational standpoint, I get one more year in both areas so I am alright."
And from an athletic standpoint, Johnson used his first year on campus to improve physically and mentally. He spent countless hours working on his pass-catching skills and even more time in the film room. While he didn't get on the field in 2010, he was making sure he would be prepared when his opportunity did come.
"It was humbling," said the 6-foot-2 and 218-pound Johnson. "I got faster and I got stronger and I feel like I earned what I got last year. I learned what it is like to start from the ground up and how to get on special teams first. I stayed in the film room a whole lot so I could understand why we do things at certain positions so I can help out as much as possible."
During last year's bowl practice and early on in spring drills, Johnson has displayed some of the best hands among the wideouts. Splitting time at receiver and tight end, Johnson said it is all about making good habits and focusing on the little things.
"I just try to work hard at it and never get complacent with myself," said Johnson. "I always try to do the simple things and if you don't do those things they can come back and haunt you. You can't take the simple things for granted. You have to look the ball all the way in and tuck it right away. It is the same at receiver and tight end and you have to get the simple things down first before you go any further."
Johnson is one of several guys that redshirted in 2010 that are expected to aid in the passing game next fall. Fellow classmates Robert Johnson and Jameon Lewis are also promising new faces at receiver along with tight end Brandon Hill, who also redshirted last year as a true freshman.
Not only that, said Johnson, but the Bulldogs actually now have upperclassmen to show the way for the young receivers.
"You can see a lot of changes with our receivers' depth," said Johnson. "Now we have tremendous leadership and older guys are trying to teach the younger guys. We have good depth and when people get tired we sub in and don't miss a beat. It is a big change and a big advantage for us now."
Now that he can make a difference on the field, Johnson is using all that veteran advice to his advantage. He spends time with all of his fellow receivers/tight ends and believes are molding him into a dependable weapon for the offense.
"I try to keep a good relationship with all of them because all of them bring different stuff," said Johnson. "They all contribute and help me in different ways. Sam Williams is always there with me in the film room and helps me to let me know what I am doing wrong. All of them - Arceto Clark, Sam (Williams), Chris Smith, Brandon Heavens, Bump (Chad Bumphis) - all play a role in helping me become a better receiver and a better player for this team."

REPORTERS Liam Thorp and Andrew Bardsley fulfilled a life-long dream as they stepped out onto the Old Trafford pitch for a charity tournament.
Liam, who reports for The Bolton News and Andrew of the Bury Times took part in the Christie's Dream Team Cup, which saw six different teams facing off and hoping to raise money for the charity.
The Manchester United fans, who formed part of a Media United team which included staff from the BBC and the Manchester Evening News, were able to get changed in the famous Old Trafford dressing rooms before heading out onto the pitch.
After the competition, teams were invited to have dinner in the stadium's Evolution Suite, where they enjoyed a talk from former United star Lee Sharpe.
The money raised on the day will benefit teenage and young cancer patients at The Christie and support the new Palatine Treatment Centre, which provides 31 state of the art clinical beds for haematology and transplant patients and teenage and young adult patients.

Brazil's Embraer continued to spread its steadily expanding influence among the world's airlines last month with a 12-aircraft order for 76-seat Embraer 170s from Finnair and the entry into service of a pair of Chinese-built ERJ-145s in the People's Republic. While the tidy sum of more than $300 million from Finland's flag carrier will certainly make for a welcome addition to Embraer's sales ledger, the July 1 service entry of China Southern Airlines' first pair of Chinese-built ERJ-145s could prove even more valuable, if only in a symbolic sense.
So far having sold only six of the 50-seat jets built in Harbin by the Harbin-Embraer Aircraft joint venture, Embraer hopes the resumption of deliveries to China Southern will help restore the momentum of China's promising regional jet market, effectively shut down by the Chinese government only three years ago with exorbitant import taxes.
The largest airline in the People's Republic, China Southern still holds the only firm order for the Brazilian-designed, Chinese-built airplanes, the first of which it based at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, situated in the northern region of the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong Province. From there, the eventual fleet of six airplanes will connect 16 cities. China Southern expects to take delivery of the last ERJ-145 next January, by which time it expects to open a dedicated commuter check-in counter at Guangzhou Baiyun to help speed the boarding process for business travelers.
Eager to show its commitment to improving its citizens' access to air transport, the Chinese government has reduced airport taxes for passengers flying on regional jets from 90 to 10 yuan. For its part, China Southern offered 50-percent discounts during the first 10 days of service. In a near frantic effort to ready its transportation infrastructure for the 2008 Summer Olympics, the government hopes such incentives will lead to more investment in domestic networks, a prospect sure to draw a welcome reception from Embraer and its rivals.
Paucity of Short-haul Traffic
Of the some 660 airplanes registered in China, roughly 70–less than 12 percent–fly short-haul routes, compared with the world average of 35 percent. If government GDP projections hold true, China could conceivably need another 635 airplanes in the 30- to 120-seat category over the next 20 years. Today, other than the two newly delivered airplanes, five Embraer ERJ-145s fly in China with China Southern partner Sichuan Airlines.
Some of the shortest routes on China Southern's planned network extend no farther than 200 nm. For example, Beihai, on the Gulf of Tonkin; Zhanjiang, on the South China Sea; and Meixian, just northeast of Guangzhou in Fujian province, all lie within reach by car or bus, but not within an acceptable distance for those who travel regularly to Beijing via China Southern's Guangzhou hub. Early plans call for four to five flights a day from Zhanjiang and one to two round trips from Meixian, allowing more convenient connections from Guangzhou to Beijing.
Medium- and long-range flights will connect Guangzhou with so-called long, thin routes on which China Southern has experienced trouble generating high enough load factors on its Boeing 737s. Some, such as Changzhi, in the northern province of Shaanxi, lie as far away as 1,000 nm. Other medium- and long-range routes will include Lianyungang, Luoyang, Nantong, Nanyang, Xiangfan, Xuzhou, Yichang and Zhoushan.
Since January 13 last year, when Embraer and AVIC II subsidiaries Hafei Aviation and Harbin Aircraft officially consummated their joint venture, the companies managed to refurbish assembly facilities, install jigs and tooling, hire and train 139 employees and build the first airplane all in less than a year. On February 2 China Southern committed to a launch order, ending a tedious month-and-a-half-long wait for the first evidence of the program's commercial viability.
Although seemingly a breakthrough in Sino-Brazilian relations, the partnership resulted in large part from the Chinese government's protectionist trade policies. Before the Chinese effectively suspended regional jet imports in 2001, the country had begun to reveal its market potential to all three regional jet manufacturers. Embraer, for its part, had delivered five ERJ-145s to Sichuan Airlines and won firm orders for 20 of the 50-seat jets from China Southern Airlines and 10 from Wuhan Airlines. But when the Chinese regime concluded that the demand could help buttress its own aerospace industry, it placed prohibitive import duties on Western products, effectively closing the market to Embraer and its competitors.
The Chinese then invited the Western RJ builders to bid for co-production agreements with its state-run aerospace agencies. Embraer won the contract for 50-seat jets, and hoped the deal would rescue its canceled contracts with Wuhan and China Southern, while opening new avenues for sales to the likes of Sichuan. Fully aware of the harsh cost environment in China, where high navigation and airport fees and excessive fuel prices disqualify regional jets in many markets, Embraer nevertheless leapt at the chance to stake a claim in the vast and increasingly prosperous country. No one could anticipate the onset of SARS and the resulting collapse in air travel throughout Asia, however.
Introducing Chinese-built ERJ-145 Is a Boost to Asia's Collective Morale
Although perhaps merely a moral victory in Asia's battle to recover from three years of industry depression, the first ERJ-145 delivery in China since 2000 has certainly aroused optimism. With the Olympics coming in 2008, the Chinese government will do all it can to paint a clean, progressive image of its country. Ensuring availability of many transportation options will no doubt account for much of that effort.
"Currently, the operation of the ERJ-145 on domestic routes is still in an initial stage," said China Southern vice president Jianhua Hao. "As China Southern's operating route structure continues to expand and the civil aviation market further develops, ERJ-145s will provide our passengers with broader and more options for air-transportation services."
For a country where options for ordinary citizens hardly ranked among the government's top priorities, not long ago such proclamations would have sounded disingenuous. Today, as a middle class emerges in a country where per-capita GDP (as measured in purchasing power parity) ranks second only to the U.S., a growing proportion does enjoy the luxury of air travel. Embraer can only wait to see whether demand yields the kind of returns it projected when it invested in the project.
In the near term, much depends on the success of airline privatization efforts and the government's ability to manage an exploding economy in danger of overheating. Such vagaries can't be comforting to any investor, but to Embraer the potential payoff is evidently worth the risk.

If you think all real estate markets are experiencing problems due to the economic downturn, then look Down Under.
A robust economy fueled by a strong mining industry, continued export demand from countries such as China, cautious lending policies and a scarcity of office and retail space in some cities is fueling continued real estate expansion in Australia.
"The broader Australian economy is strong," explains Roy Sheargold, Chairman of the Sheargold Group, a property development company in Sydney and a ULI Foundation Trustee. "As a result, confidence in commercial real estate is re-emerging and vacancy rates are falling. This strength in the economy is largely a result of continued rapid growth in the export of natural resources which flows through to the rest of the economy."
Immigration is also rising, Sheargold says, and the country's population increase — combined with natural growth — has created strong demand for residential housing. "However, housing construction has fallen short of demand for many years," Sheargold explains. "This is not so evident in the state of Victoria, where Melbourne is located, and Western Australia, whose capital city is Perth," says Sheargold. "But in New South Wales — Australia's most populous state which includes Sydney — the shortfall in housing is significant. And strong increases in population should also be positive for retail space."
David Southon, Joint Managing Director of Charter Hall Group, a specialist property funds management and development company based in Sydney, notes the Australian economy has a comparatively low unemployment rate of 5.1%, gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 3.3% per year and solid consumer confidence.
"Property is cyclical and we believe the Australian property market is now at the bottom of the cycle as we are seeing not only an improvement in economic conditions but also a strengthening of underlying property fundamentals" he says.
Improving economic conditions are key to driving demand across property markets, says Southon, "and we are already seeing increased tenant enquiries and subsequent leasing activity across our office, industrial and retail portfolios in all markets in which we invest. This combined with a limited supply of new buildings, following project delays as a result of the financial crisis, has resulted in a stabilization of vacancy rates."
Real estate activity remains healthy. One of the world's largest retail developers, Westfield, is in the midst of a $600 million redevelopment in Sydney's central business district that will integrate three existing sites on Pitt St. Mall into one iconic retail centre. The development, Westfield Sydney, is expected to be completed in stages through 2012 and includes the remodeling of the 100 Market Street office tower and a new 27-story office tower at 85 Castlereagh Street.
Also in Australia's largest city, work has begun on Lend Lease's Barangaroo South development, a 54-acre (22-ha) site including 5.3 million square feet (490,000 m2) of residential, commercial, retail and leisure space. Barangaroo South is forecast to contribute over $1.5 billion a year to the Sydney area economy and is predicted to become one of the greenest residential, leisure and business centers in the world.
Says Sheargold of the Sheargold Group: "Fundamental drivers such as increasing immigration, strong demand and a robust economy should remain in place throughout 2011 ensuring continuing robust real estate markets."

Im trying to plan next summers vacation and am stuck between the two destainations or splitting my time between both. I live near Washington DC and have 7-10 days. I know ones a beach destination and the others the mountains and we like both. Mainly we like quaint towns and good restaurants, spectacular scenery, places you can find solitude, and spending a lot of time outdoors. I know the Cape has the National Seashore, which interests me a lot, especially with the hiking trails and "possible" unspoiled beaches. The White Mountains, however is prolly gonna have the more spectacular scenery and cooler temperatures along with that "up north" feeling. I've driven through the Whites but would like to go back mainly to drive up Mt Washington and see the sights of Franconia Notch including the Flume Gorge. So, which area is less crowded and/or less traffic? Which has the nicer towns? And which has more to do? Water based activities are out because one member in our party cannot go on boats.

We've only been to the Cape a couple of times precisely because of traffic getting onto and off the Cape. We had a lovely time last September and didn't have any traffic problems but we got there in time for lunch on Friday and left before lunch on Sunday (went to Martha's Vineyard on Sat).
Went to the Flume last Labor Day weekend so it was probably a busy time but didn't seem crowded on the hike. Lots of international visitors. It's great to be able to choose a perfect day for Mt Washington. You can include some beach time at Lake Winnipesaukee or swimming someplace in the mountains. See NH state parks on Lake Winnipesaukee other than Weirs Beach which is usually crowded with lots of boat traffic because of the channel.
North Conway is super busy but other towns aren't. Probably a lack of good restaurants would be my complaint esp if you have a hankering for seafood (although you will find some places with fried clams and lobster rolls). My very favorite quiet town is Center Sandwich which is slightly south of the mountains. Beautifull drive from Tamworth to Ctr Sandwich with some interesting mountain backdrops esp if you're willing to explore some side roads (went on a garden tour of the area once). We're not hikers but I did manage the hike to Arethusa Falls once. Lots of places to take picnic lunches. Kayaking is popular but I've only been in the Concord NH area. (sorry, you said no boats) There are several places for zip lining. If you come in August, a day trip could be to the Great Corn Maze in Danville VT (near Littleton NH). If you pick up a copy of DeLorme's NH State Atlas and Gazetteer, you'll have detailed maps of all the roads, including seasonal, plus the location of things like waterfalls and covered bridges. Just finding Sandwich Creamery can be an adventure (see their website). Twice we have seen black bears as we've driven thru that area. Corner House Tavern gets great reports. The problem with good restaurants is that they tend to be in highly populated areas. You can check out cheese, wine and ice cream maps for the state. If you stayed in the Conway area, Portland ME is only about an hour away which could provide a terrific day trip for some great eats.

Both are worthwhile destinations. One question is when it comes to a bit of "solitude" do you prefer hiking or walking along the beach?
Personally, in summer time, I'd chose the Cape ... but get to the outer Cape ... consider the towns Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, or Provincetown (although P-town gets VERY busy). You are on a narrow strip of land sticking out into the atlantic ocean, I don't think it's ever significantly hotter than the White Mountains.
The National Seashore has walking trails (I've hiked the Beech Forrest in August and crossed paths with NOBODY!) In Provincetown you can take Flyer's Shuttle (a boat) out to Long Point the very tip of Cape Cod and if you walk for 5 minutes or so, it will be quiet. You can also go to Herring Cove Beach, turn right when you hit the sand and after a 10 minute walk, you'll find your own little haven between some small dunes and the ocean.
And when you want "company" there's fun things to do ... there's the Drive-In and the flea market and whale watching and parasailing and Art's Dune Tours and so on and so on.
The only thing I can say if you are a die-hard shopper, as in outlets and large department stores --- you won't find that on the Cape.
It's a tough decision ... happy planning!

You asked:
1. "So, which area is less crowded and/or less traffic?"
The Cape is a traffic nightmare in the summer months. I know, I live there.
2. "Which has the nicer towns?" Hands down: The Cape has some of the most achingly charming towns in the United States. If you come make sure you get to Falmouth, Chatham, Wellfleet, Provincetown.
3. "And which has more to do?" Toss up based on interests but someone in your group isn't going to be happy with the Cape at all because you then wrote:
4. "Water based activities are out because one member in our party cannot go on boats."
It isn't necessary to get out on a boat during a Cape visit but one of the best things for a family to experience is a whale watch. Can your landlubber stay behind for this outing and do something different while the rest of your group gets out on the water? What else are you considering to be 'water based activities'? The Cape is an island these days...surrounded by the stuff. Everything is impacted by the water. (Except my golf game....)
The National Seashore, though still lovely, is a bit of a shadow of its former self because of wind and storm erosion. The narrower, long beach is still the place to be for awesome views of the Atlantic. Keep walking away from the lifeguards for some solitude. Be aware that the tides and rips on this beach are dangerous and don't swim in unguarded waters.
You're trying to choose between two fabulous summer destinations. You'll be fine with either choice.

I might goto both and spend 3-4 days at each to mix up both the beach and the mountains, they don't look too far away from each other. However, ive driven through the White Mountains several times, especially the Kamancagas Highway, so any visit there would be in depth like driving up Mount Washington or exploring the sites Franconia Notch, and possibly some hiking. But, on the other hand, ive never been to Cape Cod. I have been to the coast of Maine several times. Is Cape Cod a lot different from the Maine Coast? Other than Maine is rocky, the Cape is not.
Report Abuse
I love New England coastal towns. The Maine coast is very different than the Cape, in every way. If you haven't been to Cape Cod, then it's a wonderful destination. All those other tourists driving around soaking up the atmosphere would agree with me! Cape waters are a lot warmer than Maine's but the quality of lobster you can get in Maine is just so superior because of the cold water!
You can rent a house for the week if you head to Cape Cod or stay in a hotel on the beach (you can look at the Red Jacket Resorts in Dennis, mid-Cape) which would save you some driving time.
Since you've already visited the White Mountains and the Maine coast why not try visiting someplace new...break up your stay between Boston or Plymouth and Cape Cod?
Report Abuse
I haven't spent a lot of time in the White Mountains, but have driven through a couple times. I know this isn't the best way to see something, but I have seen the Whites a lot nonetheless, just haven't been up Mount Washington or done the Flume. Does the ocean cool down the temperatures a lot on the Cape, especially on the outer Cape? The White Mountain seem alluring because it is a lot cooler there than places further south in New England. Maine is a very comfortable place too. I know the Outer Banks during summer, where we goto a lot gets VERY hot in the summertime and the waters warm too. I don't know if the cooler waters of the Cape cool things down. Also, I like cold water, there nothing better than jumping in cold water in the heat of summer.
Report Abuse
If it's cold water on the Cape you're wanting, then head to the National Seashore beaches in Eastham, Truro, Wellfleet and Provincetown. They'll be refreshing but frigid! There's always a likelihood of a cool seabreeze on the Cape, much like the breeze going through the house right now....bliss.
Report Abuse
The Cape is usually about 10 degrees cooler than it is in Boston. And Boston is often cooler (because of the water) than inland locations in New England.
That said, you seem to want to go to NH and not the Cape. So that's where you should go.
I would choose the Cape but that's me. It's your vacation and you should try what you want.

According to wunderground.com
Average temps in July 2010 in North Conway (white mountains) NH the nearest wunderground weather station is in Fryburg ME. You can't go by the weather on TOP of Mt Washington because while you can visit there, you won't be staying there:
Daily highs ranged from 70 to 96, and if you flipped though the data for the individual days, there were 18 days with a high temp of over 85.
Compare this to the data for Chatham MA (closest weatheer station to Truro, MA) in July 2010, the daily high temps ranged from 75 to 93 and only 10 days over 85.
And there is almost always a breeze on the outer Cape.
I've been vacationing in Truro in August for over 20 year and yes there is traffic, but once you get beyond Orleans, it's not all that bad.
I've also vacationed in North Conway and done the Flume on days when you can't even get a parking space there ... I love both but in summer time I like the Cape, in fall, I like the mountains.
Both are popular summertime destinations.

asdaven, since you say "Mainly we like quaint towns and good restaurants, spectacular scenery, places you can find solitude, and spending a lot of time outdoors" I think it would be helpful if you can write a bit more and expand on this comment. I think it helps a lot when planing a vacation to try and figure out if this upcoming trip is one you are going to want to stay pretty much in one place or do you like to drive , explore a lot, and split the time up seeing and staying in a few different places, covering a greater area? How physically active do you want to be in terms of hiking versus strolls, are you looking for adventure? What else excites you and gives you pleasure when you travel?
Report Abuse
We re usually active and drive around a lot and see the sights. But, we also like some solitude as well, but when we goto the beach, we don't really spend more than an hour or two on the beach. But, there is sights to see on Cape Cod like the lighthouses, towns, hiking in the seashore, etc,etc. I'm actually leaning more towards the cape because I haven't been there or just through there. I've driven through the White mountains several times

Schooldays In Northcote

During the late 19th and early 20th, rural schools weredominant in the Red River Valley. One school that still stands out in thememories of many older people is the Northcote School. This school hashad many easy days and many tough days. They may have closed the schoolhousedoors, but they could never close the memories that are with so many people.
The school district was first organized on October 8, 1880. The first three officers were Albert Newcomb, N. P. Peterson, and JohnMcFarlane.
The school term varied with the seasons. As early as 1892,W. R. Ball taught forty students in Northcote. He received two salaries;a fall salary and a spring salary. His fall salary was $55 and his springsalary was $40. In 1893, Mayme R. Foner taught forty-nine students forthe same wages except that he earned $55 in the spring. In 1924, the teachersearned $900 a year. During the depression their wages ranged from $585to $675 a year.
The schoolhouse was a large two story building. It hadtwo rooms, the Upper Room and the Lower Room. In each room there was astove that was covered by a jacket. Inside this stove they burned brickettes. Sometimes the children would heat up their noon lunch by placing theirdinner on the stove.
During the winter, the school remained warm. Mr. Berry,the janitor, managed to keep wood in the two stoves. Beside his regularworking hours (4 p.m. to 6 p.m.) he came to school early in the cold morningsto start the stoves. When the children and teachers finally arrived atschool, everything was snug and warm.
Windy days were real exciting for the children in Northcote. On those days they listened to the shutters batter the wall of the schooland watched the trees lean over backwards. The teacher tried to speak abovethe wind but the students had to strain their ears to hear her. Even thoughthe wind blew hard sometimes, the Northcote School always remained.
The winters were long and cold but everyone dressed appropriately. They wore long winter underwear under their clothes. The girls wore heavysocks to keep their legs warm. Over the socks and the long winter underwearthe girls wore flannel petticoats. The boys wore heavy socks under theiroveralls. Both the boys and girls wore mittens and stocking caps when itwas real cold out. With all of these clothes on, they managed to keep warm.
Once the children got to school, they had a lot of workto do. Some of them had ten classes a day. These included Grammar, Civics,Physiology, Hygiene, Drawing, Spelling, Arithmethic, Reading, Writing, andGymnastics. The Lower Room, which consisted of grades 1 - 4, didn't haveall of those. The three R's (Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic) were stronglystressed. By the time the students reached the Upper Room, which consistedof grades 5 - 8, they had to know everything by heart. The upper gradesstressed the importance of historical dates. They were kept busy all daylearning these dates.
Because of all the work the students had to do, schooldays never seemed very long. Most of them looked forward to going to school. It was the only time that they had to see any of their friends. Schoolhours ran from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.. Everyday the children had a fifteen minuterecess in the morning and another one in the afternoon. At noon, everybodyhad an hour off. The only time of the day when time seemed to pass so slowlywas after the afternoon recess. By then everyone sat and watched the clock.
Students rarely skipped school. If they did they wouldnever do it again. One time a little boy in the Lower Room had missed afull week of school. Miss Murray, the teacher of the Lower Room, told MissRuth Younggren, who was the teacher of the Upper Room, about the incident. Miss Younggren promised her that she would drop over at the boy's placeafter school to find out what was the matter with him. She asked his olderbrothers, who were in her room, if he was ill. A peculiar look swept overtheir faces and then they told her he had the flu. Judging from the lookon their faces, she knew that they were lying. After school, she hitchedup Lily (her horse) and rode over there. Was she ever in for a surprise! There was a huge still inside of the house. Instead of having a nourishingbreakfast, the little boy drank beer. This would explain his stomachacheevery morning. After that, the boy promptly arrived at school at 9 a.m.
In order to start school, the child had to be six yearsold. Many of the children started older than that. One of the things theteachers did not do was skip grades. It didn't matter if you were olderand smarter than everyone else, you had to complete a full year in eachgrade.
The children learned to write on slates. The slates openedlike a book. They were usually wrapped in a red, white, and blue paperwrapper. They scratched their writing on the slates with slate pencils. They used water and rags to clean the slates when they were finished. Then the new notebooks became popular. They were much handier than theslates and also a lot cheaper. One tablet cost 5 cents. Most of the tabletshad plain writing paper but once in a while a tablet had pretty pictures. It would be an honor to have such a tablet. They also had wooden pencilsto write with that cost a penny a piece. These pencils didn't come in differentcolors. They looked exactly like wood.
In order to pass from eighth grade into high school, thestudents had to take a State Board Examination. Since these exams werebased on facts, the Upper Room teacher drilled and re-drilled the studentsso that they would be sure to pass the examination. The students neverhad much time to do anything but study.
The teachers had great control over the classrooms. Disciplinewas taught by the hand, not the voice. One time Edward Engson, who wasprincipal of Northcote, took some rough sixth grade boys up to the schoolgarret. He rubber hosed their seat so they couldn't sit down again. Thoseboys never misbehaved again.
Another time there were two boys in the class who couldn'tstop giggling. It seemed like all they had to do was look at each otherand they would break up laughing. Most of the time they got other studentsto laugh with them. One day the teacher decided to pout an end to this. She punished the two boys. But the next day they were back giggling again. There were just two boys who were happy all the time.
The school inherited some different kinds of students whenJames J. Hill hire the Hollanders. The children come to school in theirHolland costumes and wooden shoes. They were conscious of their shoes,though. Every time they walked across the room the shoes made so much noisethat they disturbed everybody.
The Hollander children adjusted well with the other children. They learned to play all of the American games. But the one thing theHollanders couldn't adjust to was the climate. They moved to Southern Minnesotawhere they felt the weather wasn't as cold.
There were many pranks pulled at the Northcote School duringHalloween. Finally, the schoolboard decided to oput an end to all of thefoolishness. If anyone was caught doing anything to the school on Halloweenthey were punished. The day after Halloween a little girl came crying tothe teacher. She couldn't get the bathroom door open! The teacher tooksome of the boys out to see if they could open it. They pushed and pulledbut it was of no use. As the school day dragged on, more and more childrenhad to go to the bathroom. Then the teacher remembered that one of theschoolboard members lived right in town. She sent one of the boys overto get him. He finally got the door open and out walked a cow! Everyonejust stood there with their mouths open.
The cow wasn't the only animal they had trouble with. One day they had a skunk wander around the school.
It was a warm spring day. After school was out, Miss Younggrenopened all the windows to let the fresh smell drift through the school. The next morning everyone was in for a surprise. There was no fresh smellin the school, but the smell of a skunk. They had the doors and windowsopen all morning to get the horrible smell out. In the late morning oneof the children spotted the school nurse walking up the road. This wasthe worst day that the school nurse could pick to visit them! Everyonewondered exactly what she would say about the peculiar smell. A littleboy ran to the school nurse as soon as she entered the room. He had toapologize for the terrible skunk smell. They continued with the classeswhile the nurse sat in the back of the room. Everyone was more uncomfortablethan they had been earlier. Not only did the skunk smell bother them butto have the school nurse there too! The children were heartbroker. Finally,the school nurse oput an end to their uneasiness. She told them how luckythey really were to have this smell in the school. No one could understandwhy. They learned from the nurse that diseases had been travelling throughother schools rapidly. The Northcote school was saved from these diseases. The skunk spray killed all the germs. The children were happy to hearthis. The room felt like a cloud had been lifted.
One thing that the children watched for was fires. Theschool wasn't always on the constant look-out for them, but it was betterto be safe than sorry. One time theyl had a large fire in Northcote. Around1895, the school burned down. After is was destroyed, a new building waserected. It stands today as the residence of Howard Dunn in Northcote alongHighway 75.
It was Miss Younggren's first year of teaching. She decidedthat she would give the students two fire drills a week. She told the kidsthat when she yelled fire they were supposed to rush to the door. Row 1goes first, then row 2 and so on until everyone was out of the school.
One day the kids were shocked by the sound of the wordfire. They jumped up out of their desks and ran as fast as they could tothe door. Row 1 was the first one to descend down the stairway. The otherrows followed. When Miss younggren finally reached the stairway she sawthree children lying and crying at the bottom of the stairs. She was oneterrified teacher. Panicking, she ran down the stairway to see how badlythe children had been hurt. The children were only bruised and badly frightened. Miss Younggren warned the kids after that to always watch out for the guyahead of them.
Another common problem of those days was lice. Most ofthe time teachers sent letters home to the parents of children who had lice. The parents had to wash the child's hair with kerosene in the water. Aftera week, the child was permitted to return to school.
Lice fascinated little boys. They didn't know what theywere. They thought lice were something to play with. One day a teachernoticed a little boy playing with his pencil box. At first, she ignoredhim, but when it appeared that it was becoming an obsession, she knew shehad to find out what was going on. She was shocked when she picked up thepencil box. Inside of it were several tiny lice running around. The boyhad been shaking his head to see how many he could count.
Every spring the children pout on an exhibition. Peoplecame from miles around to see what the children had done. The childrendidn't display things that they had accomplished in school. Instead, theydisplayed things that they had built and used in the home. Some of theboys built threshing machine models and other farm machinery and broughtthem for display. Girls brought things like shadow embroidery, cakes, candies,or any kind of fancy work. The children were proud to have their work ondisplay and have people come to admire it.
The Christmas Program was another big event of the year. The children started getting excited about it towards the end of October. About the first of November, the teacher started adding Christmas songsto their daily music. Everyday they sang Christmas carols. By Christmas,everyone was sure to know the songs by heart. The big thrill though, waswhen the students got to rehearse in the church. In those days, schoolsdidn't have auditoriums. They had to go to the church at least two or threetimes a week and spend all morning rehearsing the songs. By the time ofthe Christmas concert, they knew everything by heart.
The Northcote School District #4 closed its doors to thechildren. It was a sad day for everyone in Northcote. But the memoriesof the school remain with the children who have grown up.

MATLAB Newsgroup
Hello everyone,
Can I please get help with this, I have searched the internet but could not find any information related to what exactly is the syntax for giving a value to the variable of 'for workspace' in simulink.
I am using this syntax in my m-file:
but it's giving the following error:
??? Error using ==> code1 at 6
block_diagram does not have a parameter named 'simin'.
how exactly do i give a parameter to simulink model from the workspace?
Your question isn't clear.
Are you trying to set the name of a variable into a From Workspace block, or are you trying to set a (model's) input parameters when using the sim function?
If the former, then you need to use set_param.
Something like the following (with appropriate modification to your specific model)
If the latter, then how to get the allowable model parameters is shown in documentation for sim, but it'll be something like

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
According to ALL SOULS DAY director Jeremy Kasten, "films are always small miracles." This making-of for that zombie horror flick set in the Mexican village of "Santa Bonita" (but filmed at two movie back lots in California) provides a somewhat jumbled back-story of how this much-maligned feature came into existence. The film crew brag about creating the settings for three eras (1892, 1952, and 2006), but this is much ado about nothing, as there was little differentiation between the sets used during this low-budget 17-day shoot, and the art director was TOTALLY unconvincing in portraying the 1892 setting, in which dozens of villager extras look like they're sporting colorful pieces of clothing fresh off the rack of a 21st Century bargain basement. It's nice to know that Nichole Hiltz (who plays cheerleader "Erica" in the feature) was the cast clown during filming, and that the romantic leads Travis Wester ("Joss") and Marisa Ramirez ("Alicia") probably would NOT be a couple in real life. (Ramirez says her husband took exception to her scene in bed with Wester when he saw it.) This 37-minute featurette does have higher production values and continuity than ALL SOULS DAY itself, perhaps suggesting the producers would have been better off selecting RAISING writer\director Jay Marks to helm SOULS.

How James Joyce Made His Name: : A Reading of the Final Lacan (Paperback)
: A Reading of the Final Lacan
Other Press (NY), 9781892746511, 392pp.
Publication Date: July 17, 2002
In this lucid and compelling analysis of Lacan's twenty-third seminar, "Le Sinthome," Roberto Harari points to new psychoanalytic pathways that lead beyond Freudian oedipal dynamics.
Lacan's seminar measures the boundaries between creativity and neurosis. We learn how poetry and wordplay may offer alternatives to neurotic pain and even psychotic delusions, with Joyce as our subject.
This new translation makes the intricacies of Lacan's seminar available to the English-speaking world for the first time. The author's accessible, vigorous prose explains the nuances of Lacanian theory with perfect clarity.
In the extraordinary encounter between Lacan and Joyce, Harari reveals unexpected affinities between them both as theorists and writers. It illustrates how literature is the aesthetic domain that is closest to the analytic experience.
About the Author
Roberto Harari, Ph.D., has been a psychoanalyst in Buenos Aires since 1965. He is a charter member and former President of Mayica-Institucisicoanalca. Since 1986, he has directed the Freud-Lacan Collection in Ediciones Nueva Visi. Harari has published more than 200 articles in international magazines, and is the author of sixteen books. Several have been translated into French and Portuguese.

It was a little uncomfortable during the prep and trying to hold still for fifteen minutes at a time. But overall, it was well worth it.
I did experience some tingling and chapness in my lips, but that went away within minutes. My teeth are now noticably whiter and I am glad I did Zoom!

I Refute Technology
- Artist: Bartman Jared
- Format: CD
- Release Date:1/20/2009
|your cart is empty
Jared Bartman's 'I Refute Technology' is a four-song study in song arrangement, in which Bartman and his bandmates Erik Juhl and Aaron Kavelman present four completely different versions of Bartman's intentionally hypocritical appraisal of modernity, 'I Refute Technology'. The first version is a chaotic electronic-based version, the second, an angular twentieth-century music influenced and acoustic percussion-laden version. The third version is a toe-tapping 1920's French jazz ensemble version. The record concludes in a splendidly frightening sound collage comprised completely of tracks from the previous three songs. The album was recorded at Pogo Studios in Champaign, Illinois by accomplished sound engineer Mark Rubel. Jared Bartman was born in Princeton, Illinois in June of 1988. Bartman and his bandmates Erik Juhl and Aaron Kavelman aspire to further the scope of modern music, infusing Bartman's songs with a sundry assortment of influences, ranging from independent lyrical folk to 20th century post-tonal compositions to lush Afro-Cuban rhythms.

Toronto -- Look for American talent to light up Canadian acquisition titles at the Toronto International Film Festival next month.
As Canadian indie movies increasingly cast Hollywood stars as boxoffice draws, Toronto organizers on Tuesday unveiled a Canuck movie lineup dominated by imported stars performing alongside local talent.
Toronto booked a gala slot at Roy Thomson Hall for Jonathan Sobol's "A Beginners Guide to Endings," which stars Harvey Keitel, Scott Caan and Wendy Crewson, and a world premiere for Jacob Tierney's "Good Neighbours," a Montreal-set thriller that stars Scott Speedman, Emily Hampshire and Jay Baruchel.
U.S. and other foreign talent figures in the mix for "A Night for Dying Tigers," the Terry Miles drama starring Jennifer Beals and Gil Bellows, while another Canuck drama, Ed Gass-Donnelly's "Small Town Murder Songs," is top-lined by Swedish actor Peter Stormare, Jill Hennessy ("Law and Order"), Aaron Poole and Martha Plimpton. »

Using python-support or python-central is a matter of taste. Afaik python-central is used more often in Ubuntu, python-support is more common in Debian. # apt-cache rdepends python-support | wc -l 566 # apt-cache rdepends python-central | wc -l 443 Both do their job. So if you used python-support before and you know it, there is no reason to use python-central instead. > >> The directory /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/handlers/ is not used anymore by >> deskbar-applet, so installing pinot-live.py is superfluous. > > I've moved it to modules-2.20-compatible/. I had the impression that /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/handlers/pinot-live.py was for deskbar-applet < 2.20 and /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible/pinot-module.py for deskbar-applet >= 2.20 (which is in sid/lenny).
