Who Would Have Thought It? (Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage Project Publi)by Mari Ruiz De Burton
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Fiction. Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton's WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT? (1872) is a historical romance which engages the dominant myths about nationality, race and gender prevalent in society in the United States prior to and during the Civil War. The narrative follows a young Mexican girl as she is delivered from Indian captivity in the Southwest and comes to live in the household of a New England family. Culture and perspectives on national history and identity clash as the novel criticizes the dominant society's opportunism and hypocrisy, and indicts northern racism.
Synopsis:"The insights into class and race in this clever satire set during and after the Civil War give it a thoroughly contemporary feel ... A fully entertaining read that stands on its own against much of today's fiction".

From: Ray English
Subject: Bioline letter to Lord Sainsbury
To: ACRL Scholarly Communication T.F.
Lord Sainsbury of Turville
Science Minister
House of Lords
October 30th, 2005
Dear Lord Sainsbury,
I have read the comments you made in the 'UNCORRECTED TRANSCRIPT OF ORAL EVIDENCE to be published as HC 490-I, House of Commons, before the Science and Technology Committee' , October 19th, 2005, and wish to make a few points relating to Open Access Archiving (Institutional Repositories).
You will know that the ground-breaking proposals of the Budapest Open Access Initiative proposed two routes towards achieving universal access to the world's publicly funded research findings: open access publishing and open access archiving. I note that the BioMedCentral team have responded with corrections regarding the progress and quality of OA publishing, based on evidence that shows daily increases in the number of OA journals now operating. With these statements I concur, since the Directory of Open Access Journals (see below) provides ample evidence of progress in this direction.
Regarding Open Access Archiving, I think you may not be fully informed that this relates to the archiving in interoperable archives of already published papers (as well as other institutional material of value to the international scientific community such as pre-prints, theses, teaching material etc). Some 93% of publishers questioned have agreed to OA archiving of their published material (see the ROMEO database, below), with varying degrees of time-embargoes. Their decision is clearly based on the evidence from the physics discipline where the major physics journals have existed in partnership with the arXive archive for over 10 years and have reported no decline in subscriptions, and in one case are assisting in the mirroring of the archive. Recently, as you will be aware, the RCUK group have unanimously proposed OA archiving, as have the Wellcome Trust, the House of Commons S&T Committee and a growing number of independent universities and countries. The list below shows some of the major statements already publicised and you will see that there is a truly international concensus on the value of this development.
Publishers (both commercial and non-profit) are arguing that their profitability will be impaired if OA Archiving continues, but their worries are not based on evidence (which shows the contrary) but on speculation. I am of the generation that can well recall the doom-laden predictions for the music industry when discos began playing recorded music (the music industry has flourished and benefited), when email began (the postal services still operate successfully), or when television first began to develop (theatres and the film industry continue unabated), so it seems that the S&T publishing industry will continue to play a valuable role as in the past, and the more enlightened will adapt and flourish in partnership with the academic community.
If the RCUK proposals are adopted this will put the UK at the forefront of international communication, using the unprecedented power of the Internet to share research findings as widely as possible. I must declare an interest in the success of these proposals since I work with colleagues around the world to support access to and inclusion in the open access movement for the benefit of all scientists from developing countries who have greatly restricted access to essential research information. The development of OA archives provides an unprecedented opportunity to support research globally (which in turn leads to the steady alleviation of poverty and the growing independence of poorer countries). This becomes increasingly urgent in view of the current problems that have a global dimension AIDS, avian influenza, climate change, environmental disasters where local knowledge and its progress are important for all humanity. All that matters is that research findings are shared as widely as possible, making the greatest impact on scientific progress. The development of open access institutional archives is a low cost, practical tool to bring this about, in parallel with open access journals. The RCUK proposals are indeed enlightened and I and colleagues around the world much hope that they will be agreed and implemented, putting British research in a highly visible and influential position in international research and supporting research in less advantaged regions.
Yours sincerely,

Language is essential for expressing ideas, opinions, views, emotions etc. It is an effective means to effective leadership. One of the essential qualities of an effective leader is the command over oral ability in the language of communication. In other words effective oral communication is a key to successful leadership.
English is the most common medium in the Indian education scenario. Job interviews, without exceptions, are carried out in English. If one's and one's boss's languages differ, their common language will often be English. Although the United Nations and its various agencies have more than one language for transaction, more often than not, English comes to be chosen as the preferred language of communication between the participating member-nations. In this milieu, it is time to put away our post-colonial indignation and get into the right track of learning effective language skills.

| Libraries Folder - Add or Remove from Navigation Pane How to Add or Remove "Libraries" Folder from the Navigation Pane in Windows 7 |
My System Specs |
. |
08 Dec 2010 | #40 |
| Keks, Try deleting the library entries that you want to delete in the desktop.ini file and save it, then delete the libraries themselves in that "C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries" folder. |
My System Specs |
. |
08 Dec 2010 | #41 |
| I removed the entries from the desktop.ini file, saved it and deleted the default libraries as you told me - but they reappeard, unfortunately. I am starting to think that it might be impossible to get rid of them... What about the registry? Perhaps removing some entries there could have the desired effect. |
My System Specs |
08 Dec 2010 | #42 |
| Hmm, might be something with your user profile. As a test, create a new administrator account and see how deleting them works in that user account. |
My System Specs |
08 Dec 2010 | #43 |
| It was worth a shot - but as it turns out my user profile is not to blame. I created a new administrator account and tested it but it did not make any difference - the default libraries returned on that test account as well... Edit: I am not really familiar with the relationship between the registry and the Windows Explorer/shell/etc. but I was searching the registry for the CLSID ({c51b83e5-9edd-4250-b45a-da672ee3c70e}) of the libraries which I got from this list here (CLSID Key List for Windows 7) and noticed the "restorelibraries" entry. I am aware of the fact that it is possible to restore the default libraries just like restoring many other standard settings, but it seems to me that this restore-command is somehow executed automatically. Maybe preventing that is the right approach here? |
My System Specs |
08 Dec 2010 | #44 |
| I wouldn't recommend to delete the CLSID key. I must admit that I'm not sure why they will not stay deleted for you and they do for me unless you have something set to save directly into these libraries. It may be worth a try to run the sfc /scannow command. |
My System Specs |
08 Dec 2010 | #45 |
| "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations." |
My System Specs |
08 Dec 2010 | #46 |
| Other than reinstalling Windows 7, I'm not sure what else to suggest. |
My System Specs |
08 Dec 2010 | #47 |
| Ironically I did a clean re-install of Windows only a few days ago. But I think this issue is not really such a big problem - so I will have a look into the registry (but I will not delete any CLSID; I also have a backup). If I find the reason for this odd behavior, I will post it here, of course. Thank you for your help. I will probably visit this site regularly from now on. |
My System Specs |
09 Dec 2010 | #48 |
| Well, I have to admit that it was pretty stupid not to think of that earlier: I simply used the default libraries now (renamed them + chose my own locations) which seems to work so far. After that I removed the redundant libraries so that no room is wasted in the navigation pane now... |
My System Specs |
09 Dec 2010 | #49 |
| That's great news Keks. Thank you for posting back with your solution. |

Tidbits from the Archives: St. Olaf goes to the movies
By Jeff Sauve, Associate Archivist
Center for College History
St. Olaf goes to the movies
On April 21, my son Bailey was born. Several people have asked me how we came to pick the name "Bailey." We were looking for a name that meant "second chance," as my wife, Evelyn Hoover, experienced a miscarriage last spring. While watching one of my favorite movies, Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life , Holden, our firstborn, said, "George Bailey would make a good name. He got a second chance." No offense to the Georges out there, but Bailey sounded fine and meaningful to us.
With movies on my mind, I thought I would delve into St. Olaf's early history with the screen arts and a particular theater, the Gem, which was on the site of what is today the Hvistendahl & Moersch Law Office in Northfield.
Longtime Gem Theater owner Everertt Dilley said in an interview for the Northfield News that the Gem established its own restrictive codes. Only Carleton men were allowed to attend the theater, "although sometimes you could see 60 young women lined up at the side door waiting to sneak in." Around 1917, the Gem Theater caused the St. Olaf students to take action. A flyer found in the college archives reads:
"Boycott Boll"
Have we any respect for our nationality? Are we loyal to St. Olaf? We shall see! When a man like [Fred] Boll -- manager of the Gem Theater -- taunts the students of St. Olaf College and other Norwegians of this city, merely on the point of our nationality, when he disregards our bounteous patronage of the past with a slanderous oath, when he doggishly cusses the Norwegian race as such -- as Mr. Boll did last Friday evening -- let us as students of St. Olaf College, as descendants of the Norwegian blood of which we can justly be proud, hereby and forever resolve never to patronize the Gem Theater again. By so resolving and acting we demonstrate our Norwegian unity and our respect for our race. Let us be as one in this resolve! Although Boll had dodgers circulated on our campus for tonight's program, let us remember his former curse. If we visit any movie, let it be The Lyric.
Unfortunately, I don't believe the protest worked. The archives has student scrapbooks containing flyers and notes about the Gem well into the early 1920s.
A few more tidbit movie items:
St. Olaf's only film credit belongs to The Great Northfield, Minnesota Robbery (1972) about the James Gang. In the film, the gang rides by a church where a Renaissance motet is being sung inside. The credit goes to the St. Olaf Choir.
Anthony Dexter '35 starred in many B pictures. His best-known role was the title role as Rudolph Valentino in a 1951 film, Valentino . Incredibly, Anthony Dexter's given name was Walter Fleischmann -- the same birth name of Valentino!
Barry Morrow's screenplay for Rain Man (1988) won an Oscar. He was one credit short of graduating from St. Olaf in 1970. With submission of his screenplay for credit, Barry was awarded his degree in 1989.

(cross-post from biology.stackexchange.com)
I have a couple structures that are nearly ready to be deposited in the PDB. Out of curiosity, I ran them through the ADIT's precheck tool and they failed with one error after another, as I lacked all sorts of additional records (TER
, etc.) that my refinement and modelling tools don't seem to care about.
From what I understand/guess, the online submission tool will help fill in all the metadata (REMARK
s, etc.), but how do I turn my coordinates into something acceptable?
I am not entirely sure it is exactly what you are looking for, but WHATCHECK helps you create PDB files in that it can show irregularities, among which in coordinates.
Disclaimer: I've never submitted a structure to the PDB.
Have you tried pdb-extract?
Of the fields you mentioned SEQRES and HETNAM are user defined. Particularly SEQRES, it is impossible for a program to know what you had in the test tube. HIS tags, etc, these all have to belong there. HETNAM is kind of the same, being the chemical name of any ligand you use.. The PDB webpage mentions the following, and therefore I guess you have to write this information in yourself..
Gather information about the proteins/nucleic acids in your structure from sequence databases (e.g. using UniProtKB 1 or BLAST 2 ) or about your ligand (using Ligand Expo 3 ). Instructions will be provided during deposition to deposit new ligands. Collect log files from data processing, scaling, MR, refinement, etc. (pdb_extract can parse these files for you and gather sequence information for what was in the sample.)
TER statements on the other hand, should be handled by the modelling package you used. I'd follow Egon's advice and use WHATIF to generate a clear record of your coordinates. Those at least would be good.

Pros: 18 dollars is a reasonable price for this flashlight. - It works with 2xCR123 and 3xAAA. - Solid aluminium body. - Somewhat enough lumens. - This time I got both the AAA holder and the plastic tube for CR123.(sometimes another one is missing) - Good design. Its ergonomics beat a lot of flashlights here.(no sharp steep angles)
Cons: AAA battery holder is bad. When you tilt the flashlight it usually stops working, because one or more AAA battery is loose !!! (really frustrating) => Batteries slip too easily from the bundle holder. So I use only 2xCR123. : (
Other: Good lamp.

Defense trade policy.(The following are excerpts from remarks to the Society for International Affairs Noun 1. international affairs - affairs between nations; "you can't really keep up with world affairs by watching television"world affairs affairs - transactions of professional or public interest; "news of current affairs"; "great affairs of state" Conference Washington, DC, November 8, 2004) Timing is everything. SIA Sia (sī`ə) or Siaha (sī`əhə), in the Bible, family returned from the Exile. SIA - Serial Interface Adaptor [Society for International Affairs] has, quite masterfully mas·ter·ful adj. 1. Given to playing the master; imperious or domineering. 2. Fit to command. 3. Revealing mastery or skill; expert: a masterful technique; masterful moviemaking. , timed this event after November 3, so that we may all take stock of the election results and look ahead. So to the SIA organizers I say: congratulations for that. The only problem is, President Bush and Secretary Powell have not yet worked through to the issue of defense trade policy, such that I can give you a first look at the second Bush Administration's handling of this important issue. The best I can offer this morning is a series of observations and pertinent facts that, in my view, position the Administration for an approach that advances our national interests. I'd like to offer comments on four major players whose actions really matter to our defense industrial base and hence our nation's future security. These major players are: the U.S. Government, the Congress, allied governments, and--lest you thought I forgot--you, the U.S. defense industry. The U.S. Government What can we say about the Administration? Let me start with something the election post-mortem analysts seem to agree upon: that President Bush is tough on terrorism. Having worked on political-military issues for nearly four years in the State Department under Secretary Powell's energetic leadership, I can tell you that the fight against terrorism is our top priority. Even my own bureau within the Department has been operating 24/7 since three days after 9/11, 2001. We've arranged the base access, overflight o·ver·flight n. An aircraft flight over a particular area, especially over foreign territory. Noun 1. overflight - a flight by an aircraft over a particular area (especially over an area in foreign territory) , and landing rights for U.S., allied and coalition forces for Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. We have managed the flow of security assistance funding to partner countries worldwide and maintained a network of ambassador-level political advisors--POLADS--with the service chiefs, NATO NATO: see North Atlantic Treaty Organization. NATO in full North Atlantic Treaty Organization International military alliance created to defend western Europe against a possible Soviet invasion. , and all the geographic and functional combatant commanders as well as task forces in the Balkans, Afghanistan and the Horn of Africa Horn of Africa, peninsula, NE Africa, opposite the S Arabia Peninsula. Also known as the Somali Peninsula, it encompasses Somalia and E Ethiopia and is the easternmost extension of the continent, separating the Gulf of Aden from the Indian Ocean. . Indeed, our friend and colleague, Turk Maggi, has joined the ranks of the POLADS. After leading a team to Baghdad last month and straightening out the legal arrangements for a robust supply of weapons to the training effort of the Iraqi security sector, has now signed on for more wartime duty. Today and for the next year, Turk is serving as our POLAD POLAD Political Advisor to the commander of the U.S. joint task force in Bagram, Afghanistan. Since September 2001, we have reviewed and cleared--usually within a matter of hours rather than days--hundreds of deployment and operations orders, ensuring that important missions will be accomplished in an appropriate manner. We have overseen the negotiating effort around the world for bilateral agreements protecting Americans from being turned over to the International Criminal Court without our consent--an effort that is very close to reaching 100 bilateral agreements. We have been at the forefront of the effort to consult with allies in Europe and Asia on the Pentagon's new Global Defense Posture, and are similarly in the lead on the Global Peace Operations A broad term that encompasses peacekeeping operations and peace enforcement operations conducted in support of diplomatic efforts to establish and maintain peace. Also called PO. See also peace building; peace enforcement; peacekeeping; and peacemaking. Initiative, an effort to improve readiness of up to 75 peacekeeping battalions around the world over 5 years, which was announced at the Sea Island G-8 Summit and featured by President Bush in his UN General Assembly speech this September. Finally, I should mention that I and my bureau have gone long distances to all corners of the world to get rid of shoulder-fired missiles that could fall into terrorist hands. In the past year alone, we have destroyed close to 10,000 of these "MANPADS MANPADS Man-Portable Air Defense System ." My point? The people in the State Department who are working overtime to ensure that our military forces and their warfighting allies are prepared and able to get to the front lines of the fight are the same people making sensitive arms transfer and licensing decisions. I raise this because it is important for defense exporters to have a sense of what drives the policy process. You have seen the military services take a particularly strong interest in technologies like night vision, electronic counter-measures, and other capabilities that give American soldiers and airmen a decisive advantage in combat. You have seen a concerted effort by DOD (1) (Dial On Demand) A feature that allows a device to automatically dial a telephone number. For example, an ISDN router with dial on demand will automatically dial up the ISP when it senses IP traffic destined for the Internet. and State officials as well as the White House to respond to the voices of our allies and coalition partners asking us to pay attention to their own modernization and interoperability needs. I am talking about countries that agreed to send troops and share the risks with American forces in Afghanistan and Iraq; countries that put up very large financial commitments and joined with the U.S. to develop and build the Joint Strike Fighter A strike fighter is a fighter aircraft which is also capable of attacking surface targets, including ships. It differs from an attack aircraft in that the aircraft remains a capable fighter. ; countries that agreed to change their laws and pass treaties accepting significant new controls in order to connect their key defense industries to ours through a license exemption arrangement. In other words Adv. 1. in other words - otherwise stated; "in other words, we are broke" put differently , countries that have made a clear strategic decision that their own security strategy is to work as our partners, through thick and thin. I think it is worth noting that for those allied and coalition governments, sticking with the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. has not always been the easiest course politically. They are democracies, and they face tough opposition in their parliaments to spending more on defense, and committing troops to risky duty in wars which have not enjoyed unanimous support among their people. And yet, these countries have stepped up to a share of the security burden post-9/11--just as we have asked them to do. Our future plans for transformation and the new global defense posture will clearly work best with the strong participation and support of other allies and friends. These considerations are very much at the heart of our policymaking pol·i·cy·mak·ing or pol·i·cy-mak·ing n. High-level development of policy, especially official government policy. adj. Of, relating to, or involving the making of high-level policy: on defense trade. Defense trade policy is security policy, and is a foundation stone of the war on terrorism Terrorist acts and the threat of Terrorism have occupied the various law enforcement agencies in the U.S. government for many years. The Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, as amended by the usa patriot act . Congress You might think the Administration would like nothing more than to be left alone by Capitol Hill on defense trade, but this is not so. We in the Executive Branch do best when Congress takes its oversight role seriously. That way, if we exercise our authorities in an unwise manner, there is a useful corrective. The fact that we operate in the spotlight of Congress's oversight keeps us on our toes, ready to subject our actions to the scrutiny of a separate but equal branch of the government. To cite one legislator LEGISLATOR. One who makes laws. 2. In order to make good laws, it is necessary to understand those which are in force; the legislator ought therefore, to be thoroughly imbued with a knowledge of the laws of his country, their advantages and defects; to , I think Senator Lugar, the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Foreign relations may refer to:
adj. Expressing or conferring praise: a laudatory review of the new play. laudatory Adjective (of speech or writing) expressing praise Adj. example of exercising oversight in this area while keeping in focus the bigger picture of foreign policy as we confront the new dangers of this century. In the second Bush Administration, my hope for Congress is two-fold: First, I hope that the leadership in Congress will make a special commitment to stand with the President and support him on defense trade policy, bearing in mind that this Administration is solidly focused on national security imperatives with all the decisions we make. And second, whenever Congress is reviewing the course of action chosen by the Administration in the defense trade area, if consultations with staff do not resolve the Hill's concerns, the members need to engage directly. I also believe that any time the Executive Branch is asked by the Hill to modify its preferred approach to a sensitive defense trade or arms transfer issue, the decision to pursue an alternative approach must involve the members themselves in fulfillment of their oversight responsibilities. I say this in the interest of public accountability, recalling that the Executive Branch operates under healthy scrutiny, where its actions can be investigated by the Congress's General Accounting Office, its papers can be recovered by the public under the Freedom of Information Act, and its officials can be asked to defend their decisions in a public hearing. Allied Governments Let me turn to the third major group of actors affecting the defense trade picture--allied governments. It is a fact that most of our allies have a tradition where defense exports are viewed as a sector of commerce, one that historically has not been subject to strong governmental restraint, outside of the nuclear and related arms control arms control Limitation of the development, testing, production, deployment, proliferation, or use of weapons through international agreements. Arms control did not arise in international diplomacy until the first Hague Convention (1899). regimes. There are exceptions, such as Japan with its post-WWII constitutional constraint on exporting weapons. Sweden is very rigorous in its defense export controls. But the U.S. insistence on regulating every item on the Munitions mu·ni·tion n. War materiel, especially weapons and ammunition. Often used in the plural. tr.v. mu·ni·tioned, mu·ni·tion·ing, mu·ni·tions To supply with munitions. List exported to any destination or end user, for any purpose, sets a standard that generally has not been matched by our security partners. That said, these same partners have been trusted with highly sensitive Adj. 1. highly sensitive - readily affected by various agents; "a highly sensitive explosive is easily exploded by a shock"; "a sensitive colloid is readily coagulated" intelligence, and their forces have received the same operational briefings as our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines heading into hostilities. As a political matter, we have shown by our actions that we trust many allies with our soldiers' very lives. And in turn, those governments have proven reliable in safeguarding this information. This reality informs our approach to defense trade. No country is immune from the risk of diverting our defense goods and technology once exported. The task at hand is to work closely with partner governments to reduce the risk and to police the flow of approved exports and transfers together, in partnership. This is exactly the approach we have begun to pursue in the State Department with the creation of an Office of Defense Trade Policy, and far more overseas face-to-face, regulator-to-regulator engagement than has ever occurred before. The Administration is concerned about the European Union's interest in ending the arms embargo An arms embargo is an embargo that applies to weaponry. It may also include "dual use" items. An arms embargo may serve one or more purposes:
It is important for European governments to keep a close eye on the regulatory view from Washington. As we think about sharing warfighting technology with our European allies, it is fundamental that we be assured of no possibility that these capabilities could migrate onward into the Chinese military The Chinese Military could refer to two things:
A region of Asia coextensive with the Far East. East Asian adj. & n. is a region where the U.S., Japan and others are exerting great efforts to maintain stability in the face of tense relations across the Taiwan Straits. We have had a continuous and high-level dialogue with the European Union European Union (EU), name given since the ratification (Nov., 1993) of the Treaty of European Union, or Maastricht Treaty, to the European Community members, which has been useful in reminding many of them how much a positive defense trade relationship with the United States supports their own national security goals for the years ahead. We'll stay on this issue. Defense industry Finally, I want to say a few words to and about the U.S. defense industry. Those of you with experience working license approval issues going back five or more years will know that the Administration has fundamentally changed how we regulate defense exports. If I may single out one official, Lisa Bronson and her colleagues in DOD have made significant management reforms. In the State Department, we have realigned the defense trade office; increased the executive ranks and staff; established a response team that fields dozens of queries a day without slowing down the licensing officers; rolled out D-Trade this past February, the fully integrated electronic defense trade control system; stepped up end-use checks around the world under the Blue Lantern program; and brought large and sensitive compliance cases to closure, many providing for remedial action A remedial action is a change made to a nonconforming product or service to address the deficiency. Rework and repair are generally the remedial actions taken on products, while services usually require additional services to be performed to ensure satisfaction. that will discourage any repeat of the violations, so that the government can maintain confidence in our defense industry. We have other, forward-looking initiatives that have not been brought to fruition as of this juncture. Conclusion Time will tell if the Administration, the Congress, allied governments and the U.S. defense industry can come together on sensible approaches that permit us to field sophisticated and interoperable capabilities, and to control technology sensibly in the digital age. There are questions being raised about whether corporate America will move defense-manufacturing jobs overseas, and whether allies are more interested in acquiring our warfighting technology in order to exploit it commercially than to share future security burdens and risks with us. There are questions about Congress's approach to the kind of collaborative arrangement we will need to design and field theater missile A missile, which may be a ballistic missile, a cruise missile, or an air-to-surface missile (not including short-range, non-nuclear, direct fire missiles, bombs, or rockets such as Maverick or wire-guided missiles), whose target is within a given theater of operation. Also called TM. defenses with key allies, and other major weapons that may become priorities among ourselves and key security partners. I don't know Don't know (DK, DKed) "Don't know the trade." A Street expression used whenever one party lacks knowledge of a trade or receives conflicting instructions from the other party. , in summary, how this will come out. There is little doubt that the Administration will call issues as they see them, from the standpoint of national security priorities. Congress, as I have said, has the opportunity to strengthen the President's hand in an area where our future armed forces members will thank them. Allies who look to the U.S. as their key security partner will be, in my view, far more forthcoming in their exertions toward our common security goals if Washington can speak with a clear, united voice on the areas where we support aggressive collaboration and those we do not. That leaves you, the defense industry. There are some potent forces at play that could change the terms of your engagement with traditional partners. I have touched on protectionism protectionism Policy of protecting domestic industries against foreign competition by means of tariffs, subsidies, import quotas, or other handicaps placed on imports. , fears of leakage to China, and uncertain congressional support in some quarters. My advice is to think strategically. Look far into the future. Make compliance with our laws and regulations a fundamental building block of your R&D, manufacturing and marketing operations. Focus on the warfighters, how they fight, how they win, and what they will need down the road. And please, work with my team to make your licensing operations fully electronic. I thank you for your kind attention. Lincoln P.

On his "Simple Programmer" blog John Sonmez has a new post looking at three kinds of "code duplication" that you should keep an eye out for when coding your applications:One of the biggest reasons to refactor code is to eliminate duplication. It is pretty easy to introduce duplication in our code either unintentionally or because we don't know how to prevent or get rid of it. [...] I've found that there are three basic types of duplication that we can eliminate from our code that successfully build on...

In this new post to his blog Gary Hockin looks at how to create a simple RESTful web service with the features provided by the Zend Framework v2 (currently in beta).After speaking to a prospective employer in a job interview, I was interested to try out the ZendMvcControllerRestfulController.

A very long time ago (three and a half livers ago), I wrote a little utility to help us with the 2008 edition of PHP Advent.

I recently started an adventure involving Sitecore's out-of-the-box web service.

PHP Recursive Function Example: Factorial Numbers
Planet PHP

I spun up the simplest example I could think of to illustrate a recursive function to a PHP beginner the other day, and I thought I'd share. I often don't post really basic content but I should - people are beginning to be beginners all the time, after all! Factorials Factorials are a very easy maths concept. They are written like 5! and this means 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1. So 6! is 720 and 4! is 24. 6! is the same as 6 * 5!, or 6 * 5 * 4! ... and this is where the recursive functions come in. Recursive...

PA-12 — the unknown chemical which could make cars more expensive
BERLIN, April 21 — Building cars is a tricky business — each one has around 3,000 individual components, and it takes a supply chain genius to make sure that the right amount is in the right place at the right time.
To keep costs to a minimum, cars have been built on a "just-in-time" basis for years now, meaning that room for manoeuvre is tight when something goes wrong, as it did at the end of March.
The explosion in a small German factory didn't make international headlines then, but it's beginning to now, because that factory produced what's estimated to be between a quarter and a half of the world's supply of PA-12, a resin used in vehicle braking and fuel systems.
Evonik Industries, the firm which owns the plant, believes it'll take months before it can return to production, giving the world's automakers a serious headache.
This week, the giants of Detroit and their international counterparts met in Michigan to discuss the problem, which has the potential to seriously slow the global production of vehicles.
That in turn, would lead to cars drying up at the world's showrooms, which would likely drive up prices — or at least significantly diminish the discounts out there available for consumers.
The outcome of the meeting in Detroit, known as the Automotive Industry Action Group (AGIP), gave the impression that it's too early to tell what the effect yet could be, say analysts — though everyone's pretty much in agreement that it's unlikely to be good.
"The statement released after the meeting would indicate that their options in tackling the crisis may be somewhat limited," noted automotive analyst IHS.
"As such, the potential for significant disruption to the global automotive production network cannot be ruled at this stage." — AFP-Relaxnews

I'm thinking of doing the same thing with my medication. The meds is expensive, but there is a generic version available overseas.

placed my order on my debit card and was charged straight away and received confirmation email immediately. choose the speedy del trackable and was advised del would be 7-9 days and order was placed on the 08/01. was just about to email them today to chase up as now 15 days but behold package had been posted through my door. packaging seems as shown on webiste. apart from small delay on advertised shipping time i have been generally please with the pharmacy. wont be taking the pills for another few weeks yet but all going well and they are good i would definetely recommend and purchase again from them. |

Some Winni Derby fishermen report seeing smaller catches
Dan Dunlop of Meredith and his son, Drew, spent several hours on the lake in their high-tech fishing boat, which allowed Dan to perch on the front while several fishing lines trolled the waters behind, with Drew tending them.
"There's nothing out there today," Dan said. "If you look at the winning fish so far, they are tiny."
Participants in this year's derby, a fundraiser by the Laconia Rotary Club on Winnipesaukee, were catching fewer fish than usual Saturday afternoon, said Diane LaBrie, the derby's chairman.
There are 1,400 registered anglers in the derby this year. For the first time, the winner in the salmon contest will have to take a lie detector test to ensure the fish was actually caught in Lake Winnipesaukee to avoid the possibility of cheating.
"The lake trout that have been caught are fabulous, but the salmon are not so large," Viar said. "It's just the way it is; there's been a decrease in the amount of larger ones. I would classify the salmon size on this lake as 'fair.'"
Wally Ryan of Canterbury also was disappointed with his catch, a 22-inch lake trout.
"It's a nice fish, but I don't think it's big enough," he said.

I will be there with my paintings along with fellow artists for "ARTBLOCK" on Main and W. Angela. It's going to be deadly hot so you might see artists sitting on the side lines under the overhang on the sidewalks and not in their designated spaces. We aren't allowed to put up the canopies like the Farmers Market. I hope many of you take a stroll and enjoy the work from a number of artists, some local and others from out of town. Lots of variety ~ Remember to bring water with you while you stroll, it should hit 100's today ~

The Senate Commerce Committee is today holding a hearing about online advertising privacy. Scheduled to testify are:
- Jane Horvath, Google Senior Privacy Counsel
- Mike Hintze, Microsoft Associate General Counsel, Legal & Corporate Affairs
- Chris Kelly, Facebook Chief Privacy Officer
For Google's part, Horvath says she'll be focusing on the following:
- First, Google supports the passage of a comprehensive federal privacy law that would enhance consumer trust and protections; establish a uniform framework for privacy; and put penalties in place to punish and dissuade bad actors;
- Second, we have participated in the Federal Trade Commission's effortsto develop principles relating to online privacy and behavioral advertising, and our hope is that revised principles will be adopted widely by the online advertising industry;
- Third, we believe that the private sector and government should provide more education for consumers about what kinds of personal information are collected by websites, how such data is used, and what steps they can take to better protect their privacy. Too often, web site operators view their online privacy policy as the beginning and end of their privacy obligations;
- And finally, we believe that industry should provide greater labeling of online display ads -- as we currently do with text ads -- and give consumers mechanisms to opt out of behaviorally targeted advertising.
The hearing begins at 10am in SR - 253.
Google has been vocal about their dedication to privacy this week. They've thrown up a privacy link on their minimalist home page and addressed the concerns related to a ruling requiring them to hand over YouTube user logs.
But Google's insistence on their privacy policy has generally not been enough for lawmakers, especially in election years. Several states have taken on the online advertising privacy issue, most recently in New York and Connecticut.
Facebook has not been as successful in protecting user privacy. Last year, the social network came under fire for its Beacon ads, which used user data without their permission.

Metazoans have evolved several pathways to regulate the size of organs and ultimately that of organisms. One such pathway is known as Salvador–Warts–Hippo, or simply Hippo. Research on the Hippo pathway has grown exponentially during the past 8 years, revealing a complex signaling network. Intriguingly, within this complexity, there are levels of modularity. One level of modularity is represented by the unusually wide occurrence of the WW module in the Hippo core kinase cassette, the upstream regulatory components and the downstream nuclear proteins. We suggest that the prevalence of WW domain-mediated complexes in the Hippo pathway should facilitate its molecular analysis and aid prediction of new pathway components.

► The fasciclin glycoprotein MTR1 regulates male reproductive development in rice ► Rice male reproductive cells secrete MTR1 to control somatic tapetum development
In flowering plants, formation of the haploid male gametophytes in anthers requires the interaction between reproductive cells and the neighboring somatic cells, yet the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we reveal the crucial role of a fasciclin glycoprotein, MICROSPORE AND TAPETUM REGULATOR1 (MTR1), in controlling the development of sporophytic and reproductive cells in rice (Oryza sativa). MTR1 is specifically expressed in the male reproductive cells, yet its mutant exhibits defects in both tapetum and microspore development, causing complete male sterility. We also demonstrate that the fasciclin domains, N-glycolation, and N-terminal signal peptide-mediated plasma membrane localization of MTR1 are required for normal anther development and pollen fertility. Our findings show that rice male reproductive cells secrete the MTR1 protein to control the development of reproductive cells and their adjacent somatic cells, thus providing novel insights into the mechanism of plant male reproductive development.
