The Environment Committee is the largest committee in parliament and deals with the most legislation, from genetic modification to birds and habitats. My aim is to guarantee Europe's world leading environmental standards while protecting jobs and encouraging growth in Europe.
From regulating our oil and gas industry to protecting our unique wildlife, decisions taken in the European Parliament's Environment Committee impact Scotland.
Currently, I am consulting on changes to the European Birds and Habitats Directives. You can read and respond to this consultation here.

"CD of the month"
(CD review - March 2011)
I have a real treat for all you Salsa & Latin Jazz fans. I recently had the rare pleasure of getting my hands on Joe Falero & DC Latin Jazz All Stars debut CD - !Latin Flavor! Joe Falero is a local Washington, DC celebrity and remarkable talent, presents a smorgasbord of silky smooth, sophisticatedly tasteful, and an ultra classy blend of Salsa & Latin Jazz specifically tailored with the bailador (dancer) in mind. The entire CD, with the exception of Do For Love and the last song, L.F. (Salsa Jazz) is strictly instrumental. By the way, you should have seen me at home making up my own lyrics (soniando) to some of the instrumental songs on !Latin Flavor! I'm so glad no one was there to witness that. Anyway, back to the review. The first song, Latin Flavor, which is also the title song for the CD starts off smooth and then very soon has you wanting to dance with the closet person next to you. Song numero tres (number three), Green Dolphin St is what I would call a dinner salsa (yes, I said "dinner salsa") that can be played in the background while entertaining guests or having lovely dinner with your significant other. Song number four, Tribute to Tito, takes Tito's "Oye Come Va'" and skillfully recreates it, not into another Cha Cha Cha, but instead as a fun and lively Guaganco for all you dancers out there. "Wow" was all I could say! For all of my non-Spanish speakers there is song number five, Do For Love. Song numero siete (seven), Tribute To Dizzy marries Salsa and Jazz into one smooth danceable work of art. Lastly, song number eight, L.F. (Salsa Jazz) is a true dancers delight. See you at the Salsa Block Party and most definitely at the 2nd Annual Baltimore Salsa Fest! You can purchase your copy of Joe Falero & DC Latin Jazz All Stars -!Latin Flavor! today by visiting http://www.baltimoresalsafest.com Also, be sure to catch Joe Falero & DC Latin Jazz All Stars at the Baltimore Salsa Fest on Saturday, March, 26 2001 performing live for your dancing pleasure.

!LATIN FLAVOR!, the new release by Joe Falero & DC Latin Jazz All Stars hits the mark. This is a work to be listened to in its entirety. Try it when dealing with traffic.

Falero-- band leader, musician, composer and vocalist brings it all together with new compositions, standards and Latinized versions of well known tunes. Joe has a knack for finding and bringing together the best talent. Be sure to catch him live at the earliest opportunity. See, hear and feel the magic.

The JOE FALERO & DC Latin Jazz All Stars "Latin Flavor" CD has been in rotation in my car since December 2009. My favorite, "Green Dolphin Street", is classic yet has a perfect blend of a latin groove that is irresistable.
An awesome CD!
Brian Bullock
Faleros' !Latin Flavor! is a great musical production to be enjoyed anywhere
, with talented musicians performing masterly and vibrant arrangements for our enjoyment. The solos and isolations throughout each song provide wonderful opportunities to relish on you favorite instruments, whether it's the percussion, piano, the horns, or the cords. The arrangements musicality and timing precision provide a refreshing mambo perspective inspired on standards of Latin jazz like Watermelon Man and Oye Come Va, providing for highly inspiring tunes for the dancers that pride themselves on creative and expressive performing as well as for the distinguished listener that enjoys a well put together song either on a long unhurried car trip or while relaxing at home.

I havent gotton my period and i am sexually active
Patient : I havent gotton my period and i am sexually active and im not on any contraception and want to know what can i do to get my period or wat tablets cn i take Will lynestrol to that for me ?!?
Doctor : Hello, Thanks for the query. The firs thing that you have to do on missing a period when you have been sexually acti ve and not on contraception is doing a pregnancy test. If the test is negative for pregnancy, you will have to see a gynecologist for an investigation to rule out other causes of missed periods like anemia, stress, hormonal imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, etc. This will help in the treatment plan and the doctor can start you on hormones for withdrawal bleeding accordingly. Though lynestrenol is a contraceptive pill or a progesterone hormone, it should be only used after ruling out pregnancy and other factors and in the dose suggested by the treating doctor. Hope this helped. Regards

Get a Life: Students Collaborate in Simulated Roles
Revolutionary Technology:
Students at Suffern Middle School, in Suffern, New York, created these avatars to represent characters from novels they read about the American Revolution.
When the Whypox -- a plague that causes the afflicted to break out in red spots -- hit, residents had to go to the Center for Disease Control to learn about the epidemic. When the WhyFlu went around, those who got vaccinated were protected. But as new viruses escape from a biotechnology project, residents must scramble to develop new vaccines.
Then there was the deadly red tide, which prompted locals to take water samples to the Oceanographic Institution in an attempt to find solutions. And when Hurricane Alice landed, residents took a crash course on the impact of global climate change.
Generation Why
Such is life in Whyville, a Web-based virtual world that provides inquiry-based education for middle school students. Created by University of Texas professor Jim Bower -- a former professor at the California Institute of Technology and founder of CalTech's Pre-College Science Initiative -- Whyville looks and feels like a game to the kids who use it. For teachers, it is one more tool for delivering lessons in a package that delights their students.
Virtual worlds such as Whyville offer environments that users in various locations can access simultaneously via the Internet. All players, represented by animated characters called avatars, enter the same space to play (and learn) collaboratively. Many educators are experimenting with Whyville, while others are using the already well-known virtual world Second Life, which has a teen version called Teen Second Life, for kids ages 13-17. (Adults can also participate, but the company must approve them after a background check.) Many other virtual worlds exist out there as well, and more are surely on the way.
In Plane Sight:
Students from George Washington Carver Academy, in Waco, Texas, participate in a teamwork exercise in the online virtual world of Whyville.
In Waco, Texas, the public schools are integrating Whyville into their eighth-grade career-exploration classes. One recent morning, teacher Johnbelle Line and several students from George Washington Carver Academy gathered for a lesson in teamwork at Whyville PlaneWorks, a virtual airplane factory sponsored by the Texas Workforce Commission. All the kids used computers to manipulate their personal avatars, which interacted in the same animated online environment.
Line observed as the students dragged images of matching plane parts together -- yellow wings with yellow engines, for example -- to "build" the largest number of airplanes in the shortest period of time. After each student tried the timed game alone, Line instructed them to work together, asking them pointed questions as they tried to find strategies to increase their team's efficiency.
Collaboration Through Computers
"If you work alone, you can only get so far, but if you work with a partner, you can maximize the amount of clams you get," explains Donna McKethan, director of career and technology education for the Waco Independent School District. (Clams are Whyville's currency, which students can use to buy any number of virtual items for use in the game, from clothes to cars, or they can put their clams in a savings account.)
NASA, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the Getty Museum, and the School Nutrition Association are among the groups to sponsor projects in Whyville. The site, which students access through a Web browser, uses simple graphics, and most people find it easy to learn. Second Life is much more graphically complicated, and it allows sophisticated users to help build its virtual environment. But it also requires users to download free software, and people consider it harder to learn than Whyville.
"If you're looking for something for teens who have less sophisticated technical skills, you may want to bring them into Whyville," advises Barry Joseph of Global Kids, a New York City nonprofit organization that's exploring the educational uses of virtual worlds. But he notes, "Second Life is great for teachers interested in working in collaborations to create something that users can view in a community environment."
Global Kids recently partnered with the High School for Global Citizenship, a public school in Brooklyn, to have the school's freshman global-science students work in Teen Second Life. There, they'll participate in simulations that bring to life the sustainability issues that are the focus of the class. In one activity about the impact of garbage on Venice, students, via their avatars, will explore a three-dimensional virtual Venice, where they will interview residents and look for solutions to the trash problem.
So far, according to Assistant Principal Tracy Rebe, students have been enthusiastic to the unheard-of point of arriving early to their first-period class. Student Shaquille Sanders explains their eagerness: "You're having fun while doing schoolwork, which I think is what every kid likes to do." He says the students look forward to "being able to go places we can't go in school and do experiments that are maybe a little too dangerous for the classroom." Adds senior Allan Marshall, who's assisting Rebe (who teaches the class), "In Second Life, you're just free."
Virtual Validation
Liza Medina, a language arts teacher at Suffern Middle School, in Suffern, New York, had such good results holding literature-circle discussions in Teen Second Life that she has planned more. (See "Reading Round Table: Literature Circles Expand Thought" for more information about literature circles.) "Students who are normally shy in class were less inhibited while using Second Life," she points out. "My struggling writers were actually stronger writers while using a medium they use daily to communicate with friends: the computer. My unmotivated readers liked the program so much, they invested time in reading."
Medina's next project had students create avatars for characters in novels they'd read about in a unit on the American Revolution. Besides designing the look of the avatar, the students had to provide rich profile information for each one. That included a first-person description of the character's personality and role, a list of the character's interests, links to relevant Web sites, and a telling quote by or about the character, along with an explanation of why the student chose that particular quote.
Once the avatars and their profiles were ready, the students -- in character -- interacted in the virtual environment with characters from at least two other novels. "I liked dressing and visualizing a personality for a character," explains Erika, one of Medina's students. Erika's classmate, Jon Jon, adds, "I felt like I lived in the 1700s."
Like Tracy Rebe's students, Medina's were enthusiastic about the game-like aspect of the assignment. "Some of the teachers make learning really boring," commented one such student, Alex. "But when you're in Second Life, it's like playing video games while you're learning."

OMG!! i go 2 suffern middle school! i know erika, jon jon and alex!
Thank you for a grounded article examining real life classroom applications of the metaverse.
I had the pleasure of visiting Suffern County last fall and thought "WOW"...if only all kids could be this enthusiastic about literature.
Well done.
Pub Ed.
I didn't know anything like this was out there. I wonder why there is a move to seperate interaction at schools. Maybe it is because of the violence in our society that is rising in our young students. Maybe this will the "safe school of the future."
There has been good work happening in Virtual Worlds for some years now. The Global Kids team have some very exciting project work in their portfolio.
The "role" side of things still has a lot of potential to be shifted beyond simple role-taking activities into role-creation and role-playing - even moving into the metaphorical, symbolic and artistic representations that emerge from the best Drama pedagogy.
When students are operating within a state of metaxis the learning is more likely to shift across all domains... cognitive, psychomotor AND affective... the symbolic and metaphorical shifts serve to both broaden understanding and deepen significant meaning making moving beyond simple declarative encounters.
Having said that - there is a lot of lip-service given to embracing new technology but there is still a lot of resistance, in some education sectors, to meaningful and broad based engagement with social technologies. Typically, bureaucratic fear and chants of "we must protect the kids" seem to be the hallmarks of these more restrictive contexts.
The potential being demonstrated by these various projects seems to suggest that a socially mediated 3D MUVE can offer tremendous extension to a traditional classroom setting and yet many students are denied these possibilities because of ignorance and fear with educational bureauracy.
When will they learn that: ""When blockers are placed on the Internet, the system works to route around the 'damage'. Understandably, people will do the same." (R.Gesthuizen) - students and teachers are effectively vilified for wanting to push into these (not so) new territories.
Kudos to all those who perservere regardless.
Do you have any data on these learning tools? I would like to explore this as a dissertation. Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Ireland Expels Israeli Diplomat Over Forged Passports
Ireland announced Tuesday it's expelling an Israeli embassy official in punishment for the alleged Mossad use of forged Irish passports to assassinate a top Hamas militant in Dubai, further damaging strained Irish-Israeli relations.
"The misuse of Irish passports by a state with which Ireland enjoys friendly, if sometimes frank, bilateral relations is clearly unacceptable and requires a firm response," Irish Foreign Minister Micheal Martin said as he announced the expulsion.

Just cant beat the bubble vest for the top, nice and warm while keeping your throwing motion free from restrictions.
For keeping the neck and face warm, I would recommened the Under Armour hood. Keeps the face and neck warm, can be adjusted to expose the face and just warm the neck.
Other than the UA hood, I personally find UA overrated. Most places around these parts try and demand top dollar for UA gear and some of the prices are absurd. Not to mention their quality isn't all that, rips out just as easy as Nike or any other clothing maker. Not sure why it cost so much, maybe all the ads.
Best bang for your buck is to find a local REI and become a member. Then buy all kinds of comparible gear there for a great price and a year end rebate (10% kick back). North Face, Patagonia, REI brand, Marmot, etc... I love the REI base layers myself, pair them with a great windbreaker jacket and a nice puffy vest. Add in a fleece cap and I am ready to go.
Gonna check into a handwarmer like others posted, be nice to have one like the NFL QB's I can wear around the waist and use for my throwing hand.

Lawyers at Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly's Palo Alto office were informed of its closure just days before the firm pulled out of Silicon Valley.
According to a spokesman at Oppenheimer, the firm told its 40-lawyer office that it would close its doors "a few days" before making an official announcement on 30 May.
The move followed the revelation that 28 of its lawyers were defecting to Dechert, leaving the remaining mainly corporate lawyers with a very short space of time to find new jobs.
The mass defection, led by intellectual property partners Michael Kalkstein and Chris Graham, threw the planned sale of the entire Palo Alto office into doubt, prompting the decision to close it down.
In a statement, the firm said: "Those employees who have not accepted an offer from Dechert or another law firm have been terminated and told that Oppenheimer's Palo Alto office will close, effective 30 May 2003."
At the same time, Oppenheimer also announced that it would shut its Orange County office by mid-July, although it intends to keep a small branch in Santa Monica.
As well as Palo Alto and Orange County, Oppenheimer has pulled the plug on its presence in New York and Los Angeles, leaving just a main office in Minneapolis.
The firm intends to keep its branches in Brussels, Geneva and Paris.
Sources had hinted that Dechert, as well as taking the group of lawyers, had been contemplating subleasing Oppenheimer's space at 1400 Page Mill Road.
However, Dechert has taken space in a different building in the same area, leaving Oppenheimer to negotiate its exit from its expensive lease on 55,000 sq ft of space, rented at the height of the dotcom boom.

Listen to more titles in the Nathaniel Starbuck Chronicles.
Don't miss the rest of Bernard Cornwell's literary masterpieces.
(P)2001 Blackstone Audiobooks
This entire series is a must read for anyone who enjoys a great novel and/or enjoys the civil war. Great writing and narration. Enjoy the entire series.
"What's the holdup?"
This is my favorite Cornwell series. Cmon, Bernie, don't leave me hanging. Time to finish the series!
"Soon to be a classic"
I own the soft back copy of this book, I only wish Mr Cornwall would finish the Starbuck Chronicles. I found the Lucifer character very interesting.
"Great series on the beginning of the Civil War."
As a Northerner I have always approached the Civil War from a Northern perspective. This book had me rooting for the rebels.
The greatest disappointment is that after four novels I want a fifth!
"A great read"
Exciting, compelling, intriguing
I really enjoyed how the author wrapped a fictional character around historical events and drew you into the characters lives. A great way to learn about historical events also.
Am not sure, but I really enjoy the different inflections for different characters.
See Starbucks personal drama's amid one of the countries biggest drama's.
I enjoyed this read immensely and have listened to the entire Nathanial Starbuck chronicles and really enjoyed them all. Sad I got to the last one and had to leave them.
"A fitting end?"
Mr Cornwell is keeping us guessing about whether there will be any more Starbuck books. Basically the Sharpe series kind of swallowed poor Starbuck hole. I hope we will see more but if not this was a fitting end for his US Civil War hero. A classic battle and a book filled with the intrigue of feuding characters and the utter terror and stupidity that epitomised the warfare of the period. An excellent read and the usual excellent performance from master Gardner, the man with a voice like liquid granite.

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly are visiting Mexico to repair frayed relations between the two nations.
Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray said controversial new US immigration guidelines would top the agenda.
The US plan to expel to Mexico all illegal immigrants found crossing the US border regardless of nationality has angered the Mexicans the most.
Relations between the neighbours are at their lowest point for decades.
Mexico anger ahead of Tillerson visit
Mr Tillerson and Mr Kelly face a tough task to allay their counterparts' concerns at Thursday's meeting in Mexico City.
The Mexican foreign minister said on Wednesday his country has "no reason to accept unilateral decisions imposed by one government on another".
"We are not going to accept that, because we don't have to."
The White House issued two memos on Tuesday targeting millions of illegal immigrants for possible deportation, mirroring a previous executive order signed by President Donald Trump.
The new policy, which seeks to step up enforcement of existing US immigration laws, subjects nearly all illegal immigrants to deportation and speeds up their removal.
It also calls for sending immigrants caught crossing the border illegally back to Mexico, irrespective of where they are from, and deporting anyone charged or convicted for any crime.
Mr Tillerson and Mr Kelly will probably also face questions about the new guidelines in their meeting with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.
US relations with its southern neighbour have also soured over trade-related skirmishes since Mr Trump took office.
The president has insisted that Mexico will pay billions for a wall along the US border, which prompted Mr Nieto to cancel a planned Washington visit late last month.
Mr Trump has also ordered a report, due on Friday, listing all foreign aid the US provides to Mexico.
It is unclear why he requested the review, but its inclusion in Mr Trump's executive order on constructing a wall along the southern border suggests he may use it for leverage in negotiations with Mexico.
Mexican officials are also concerned about Mr Trump's pledge to renegotiate trade partnerships between the two countries.
The president has proposed to levy a 20% tax on Mexican imports to pay for a border wall.
Democratic senators urged Mr Tillerson and Mr Kelly to work through tensions with their Mexican counterparts on Thursday.
"We urge you to use your visit to disavow vitriolic rhetoric and forge a strong partnership based on mutual respect with the government of Mexico," the senators wrote in an open letter.
Tillerson seeks to quell Trump immigration furore in Mexico

Did you know — a bit of trivia here — that dogs choose the direction of their elimination of waste based on the planet's magnetic field. The study examined 70 dogs from 37 breeds for more than two years, about 1,900 defecations, and about 5,600 urinations. The conclusion of the study finds that most dogs would be more likely to align their bodies along the north-south axis.
With that said, let's talk about, well, dog poop. Being pet owners or pet admirers, this should not be a strange topic. It's a good rule of thumb that a healthy dog's poop, or stool, is usually firm but not hard, pliable and segmented, and easy to pick up. If it varies too much from this, there are a few things to consider. Your dog's stool consistency and composition is a good indication of digestive issues, as well as potential health issues.
Your dog's diet will typically be the biggest factor causing a change in his or her poop. A sudden change in food can cause loose or runny stool, or diarrhea, as dogs have short digestive tracts that can be easily upset. Switching to a different brand or variety of food after the previous bag is finished does not allow for a dog's digestive tract to gradually adjust to the new food. And if your dog eats something that he is not supposed to, like that ham sandwich you stepped away from momentarily to get yourself something to drink, that can also be a shock to the digestive system. In cases like these the poop consistency should return to normal within three to five days.
Stress is also another common factor leading to loose stools. Sudden changes in a dog's living situation or environment, an anxious trip to the vet, or agitation from being around unfamiliar dogs could bring on diarrhea. One of our dogs is rather skittish, and we can tell by his poop if he's experienced too much emotional strain. Stress-induced loose stool usually returns to normal within a few days.
It's a good idea to pay attention to your pet's poop for health issues. For example, if diarrhea persists, a dog may become dehydrated, setting off other health issues. Asking a vet about "potential poop problems" during checkups is something we all should do, so that we know what indicators to look for and to be aware of. It may not be the most pleasant task. But, we all know we must do this.
For an example, dog owners should examine their dog's poop for parasites or worms. The three types that would be visible are roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms. It's usually a shock the first time you see something small and white moving around in your dog's stool. But catching the issue early and contacting your vet for medication is best for your dog's health
Fecal samples are required for a full checkup at the vet, as some parasites are too microscopic to see with the naked eye. If you see more severe issues such as blood in your dog's poop, this is a sign that there may be internal bleeding. You will definitely need to bring a fecal sample to the vet for further testing. Blood in the urine may indicate kidney or urinary infection or kidney stones.
So, what are some other things to ponder about dog poop? Well, depending on the health of the dog, it may contain parvovirus, whipworms, hookworms, roundworms, threadworms, campylobacteriosis (bacteria that produces inflammatory, including cramps, fever, and pain), salmonella, giardia, and coccidia. If not disposed of properly, these parasites can contaminate the water and soil, and can even cause infection in both pets and humans. The Hookworm larvae can be passed to another pet or person through contact.
This brings us to another important issue. Picking up your dog's poop is vitally important for health and sanitary reasons. Even with dogs in great health, their poop contains millions of fecal coliform bacteria that have the potential to cause internal disorders and kidney problems in humans. Leaving Fido's waste behind increases that chance that someone will come in contact with it.
Contrary to popular belief, dog poop is not fertilizer and does not provide any benefit to the soil, as it is very acidic due to a canine's high-protein meat-based diet. The high acidic content will actually kill grass. Dogs typically poop twice a day, which equates to about 14 piles per week. It is simply unfair to allow sidewalks or parks or yards to become mine fields for residents.
It is disheartening to learn that more than 40 percent of American dog owners choose not to pick up after their furry friends. Besides the annoyance and mess of stray poop that has been stepped on, left-behind dog poop plays a major role in water pollution. The bacteria in the poop make their way into streams, lakes, and the water table.
Removing and disposing of poop properly must play into being a responsible pet owner.
Here's a thought you can share with a no-scoop poop offender — consider every place that your dog poops to be your front porch. You certainly would want to remove it so that you and your guests do not step in it. And what would the neighbors think if they saw that you did not clean up after your pooch!
If you find the handling of your dog's poop to be a problem even in your own backyard, there are companies you can pay to do that dirty work for you. Pick up the recent Savannah Pet Care Directory for a list of companies that specialize in picking up dog poop.

Royal Canoe, Deidre & The Dark
Cameo Gallery
93 N. 6th St.
Brooklyn, NY, 11211
This event is 21 and over
"[...] Sufjan's orchestration, Arcade Fire's energy, Broken Social Scene's stage presence and cooperation, My Morning Jacket's pipes [...] Long story short? MUST. SEE. THIS. BAND. LIVE." - I Guess I'm Floating
"The ancient Greeks thought that at night you could hear the music of the universe while staring at the stars. Nobody ever heard that music, but if it existed it would sound very much like this record. Cosmic." - The Deli Magazine, NYC
"Just weird enough to perk yr ears, but full of the kind of honey-sweet vocals you'd love to drizzle all over your lover's naked body before delicately licking it off inch by luscious inch." - yvynyl
(different folks hear different things)
Royal Canoe is a band, armed with falsettos, guitars, effects pedals, drums, basses, tambourines, shakers and a five-keyboard super-weapon. Royal Canoe play lyrically sharp pop songs that move people and make people move.
Before expanding her moniker, Deidre released her debut EP "Curious Parcel." Like a femme fatale who gets distracted and falls in love, it's filled with vulnerability, pleasure, suspicion, and tragedy. Mixing sounds of the blues, gypsies, surf safaris, 60s a-go-go and more, she melds numerous influences into songs of love and horror - a totally new sound for the singer who also performs in Brooklyn bands Savoir Adore and French Horn Rebellion.
Curating and hosting conceptual parties at various venues in Brooklyn over the last year, Deidre began to harness her storytelling skills and style. She and her husband, producer David Perlick-Molinari (French Horn Rebellion, MGMT's Time To Pretend), have started to capture and define that energy in these first few recordings, with much more to come.

It has been announced that one of London's biggest art fairs – Art London – is to fold. Its closure has been attributed to a dispute over planning permission
Art London started in 1999, and has been taking place annually ever since at the Royal Hospital in Chelsea. But now its founder, Ralph Ward-Jackson, has announced the fair's closure thanks to Kensington and Chelsea council's policies being excessively complicated and restrictive.
The policies, for example, require a new application to the council for the erection of tents: 'An application for a temporary tent is the same as the cost for a permanent building'. The 'huge cost' of this application was coupled with a number of regulations as to how many events were allowed to occur during the fair: 'They also capped the number of events that could be held in particular sites in Chelsea.' To make matters worse, the Royal Hospital venue failed to renew the fair's tenancy contract. Ward-Jackson is furious, putting this down to the local authorities.
In his final words on the matter, Ward-Jackson stated: 'We are proud of the fair's achievements and of its contribution to the vibrant London art scene. We hope a little piece of Art London will live on in the homes of those… who treasure the artworks they discovered there.'
Touching though this is, London hardly wants for art fairs. And indeed, a new art fair has been announced for London, to be organised by the founders of ART HK, to meet the city's 'demand for a quality International art fair'
Art13 London is set to feature between 80 and 100 of the world's most prestigious galleries, and to showcase the best in international Modern and Contemporary Art. The first edition will take place at Olympia Grand Hall in the heart of West London, from 1-3 March 2013. It will be organised by Art Fairs London Ltd – the original founders of ART HK, the Hong Kong International Art Fair, which in four years has established itself as Asia's premier art event.
Co-Founder Tim Etchells commented: 'Following the success of ART HK, we feel there is a demand for a quality International art fair in London with a global focus and an emphasis on a social and fun experience.'
Stephanie Dieckvoss has been appointed as Fair Director, who worked as Fair Manager at Frieze from its inauguration in 2003. Then, in 2007, she played a central role in the launch of ART HK in 2007. As joint Fair Director alongside Magnus Renfrew, she was instrumental in the success of the first two editions of the Fair.

The secret is out - Microsoft Origami: Latest Information from CeBIT
More details about the secret Microsoft device Origami are streaming in from CeBIT. Though previously it was being believed that Microsoft might actually be making this, the Origami device is being unveiled by Samsung (called Q1 for the time being) and is an all black device, with a large touch screen, 40 GB hard disk (wooo!), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The touch screen will provide a fully functional QWERTY on-screen keyboard, but the device can be connected to a bluetooth keyboard as well. Q1 will be running Intel Pentium or Celeron Ultra Low Voltage Mobile processor, and a standard Windows XP edition, and not a scaled down version or Windows CE. The Q1 will also support digital television and GPS (though exact details are still not known).
I think it was over-hyped

I can't see how people will use these devices based on the fact that they have less than three hours battery life and are too big to fit in your pocket. Not really ultra-mobile at all!

wow stuart's makin the rounds, I've seen your dissenting comments on three blogs now, including my own.
I think the UMPC definitely has got a market, but they need to improve the battery life for the PDA folks to adopt it.

5 Year Old Drives To Find Mother
October 27, 2011 by staff
5 Year Old Drives To Find Mother, A lack of communication between parents is a bit Mansfield, Ohio girl alone at home on Tuesday. The situation went from bad to worse when 5 years old, decided to ride in the family car to find her mother.
The 911call arrived just after seven last night. "9-1-1. What is your emergency?" says the 911 operator.
"Um, my mother's car backed out of the accident and the police need to take my mother's car back," says the girl of 5 years of age.
A fear that sounds like 5 years old, tells the operator that he is alone at home and not know where her mom. "It's very dark in here and looked everywhere."
"When I got off the bus, but my mom was not here and I miss a lot."
"It's all right honey, Mommy's coming back. Mom was probably looking for you," the operator says.
Turns out it was just the opposite.
"And he tried to drive the car to go get my mom," says Ryan Grimshaw, a Mansfield police officer.
Ryan Grimshaw Officer responded to the house to find the mother SUV rolled backward out of the driveway on the street and a neighbor's yard.
"You could say that she just followed exactly what her mother probably does when he gets into the car. I mean, put the keys in the ignition, put it in the drive and turned on the headlights as if ready to lead as an adult, "Grimshaw says.
Something that the girl was ready to confess to the operator.
"Did mother park her car on the street or you get in the car and go across the street?" the operator says.
"Um, someone moved through the streets. The car is in operation now. You have to come quickly. My mom will be mad at me," says the girl.
With the help of dispatchers, Grimshaw was able to reach parents and clarify the confusion. The best possible outcome of a situation that could have ended very differently.
"She was right to call 911, but if I come home and called an aunt or grandmother or someone, who could have been avoided quite quickly," says Grimshaw.

Called "a bolt of bright sunlight" by the L.A.Times, and a "classy talent" by the Boston Globe, Barbara Higbie is a Grammy-nominated, Bammy award winning composer, pianist, singer-songwriter and championship fiddle player with 14 solo and group CDs. She has played on 100 albums, recording with Carlos Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Cris Williamson, Holly Near, Teresa Trull and many others. Her duet recording with Trull, "Unexpected," (on Olivia/Second Wave Records, 1983) made Higbie/Trull one of the most popular acts in Women's Music. Barbara was the first woman to be signed to the ground breaking instrumental label, Windham Hill Records, appearing on seven of their multi-million selling Winter Solstice CDs. Her live show is a high-energy mix of original tunes, blues, country, folk and fast fiddling.
The youngest of six kids from a musical family, Higbie started piano at age four. When she was 13, her family moved from small town Indiana to Accra, Ghana. Upon returning to the states, she attended Mills College and the Sorbonne, was awarded a Watson Fellowship and placed 6th in the National Women's Fiddle Competition in Weiser, Idaho. Her first solo CD on Sony Records, a singer-songwriter album, was named "Top Ten of the Year" by the Washington Post. In 2011, Higbie was named the first "Artist in Residence" for the famed West Coast jazz club, Yoshi's. There, she started the group "Hills to Hollers" with gospel/soul singer Linda Tillery and bluegrass star, Laurie Lewis, exploring the roots of American music. Her most recent solo CD is Scenes from Life, a cinematic instrumental work. Barbara tours nationally and has performed on over 25 Olivia trips.

Thanks for the report. This issue has been fixed in MFC for the next major release of Visual Studio.

Visual C++ Libraries Development
When CMFCPropertyGridCtrl is in alphabetic mode the vertical scrollbar does not function correctly. Expanded groups which have many sub-items do not increase the scroll size as expected. Tracing the problem with the debugger it would seem to come from this function in afxpropertygridctrl.cpp: int CMFCPropertyGridCtrl::GetTotalItems(BOOL bIncludeHidden) const Inside this function there is separate logic for calculating the item count depending if alphabetic mode is enabled. When alphabetic mode is enabled the following is used: if (pProp->IsVisible()) { nCount++; } This doesn't take into account the sub-items. The logic for calculating item count when alphabetic mode is not enabled is as follows: nCount += pProp->GetExpandedSubItems(bIncludeHidden) + 1; I believe the latter should be used for the alphabetic mode as well instead of the simple nCount++ which ignores the sub-items.

Unanswered: Loop through variables in TYPE
Is there a way to programmatically loop over the items in a TYPE variable. Something like:
declare TYPE addrin is RECORD ( f1 number, f2 varchar2(10)); new_addr addrin; begin new_addr.f1 := 5; new_addr.f2 := 'CHuck'; for i in 0 .. new_addr.count loop dbms_output.put_line(new_addr(i); end loop; end;

Try this:
Set Serverout On Size 1000000; Declare Type Addrin Is Record ( F1 Number, F2 Varchar2(10)); Type Addrin_Array Is Table Of Addrin Index By Binary_Integer; New_Addr Addrin_Array; I Pls_Integer; Begin New_Addr(1).F1 := 5; New_Addr(1).F2 := 'Chuck'; New_Addr(2).F1 := 7; New_Addr(2).F2 := 'Forbes'; For I In 1..New_Addr.Last Loop Dbms_Output.Put_Line(New_Addr(I).F1||' Is '||New_Addr(I).F2); End Loop; End; /

I was looking to loop over the variables in the RECORD, rather than the RECORDs in a TABLE. Do you think that's possible?

No. With a TYPE defined in the database (i.e. by a CREATE TYPE statement) you should be able to get a list of the attributes from the data dictionary and use that to construct some dynamic PL/SQL - but I wouldn't go to all that trouble unless I was building something very generic (like Toad).Tony Andrews
