2009 Tour de France: Stage 17
Astana's Communication Breakdown
When Alberto Contador attacked on Colombiere, he widened his overall lead--but hurt his teammates in the process.
James Startt
Race Strategy
Team Astana
Once again, it seems that Alberto Contador has a hearing problem. And although he consolidated his lead today on stage 17 of the Tour de France, his attack on the final climb, the Colombiere, brought criticism from within his Astana team.
The move occurred roughly 3 kilometers from the summit, and less than 20 kilometers from the finish. Until then, the team was in a perfect position to help German rider Andreas Kloden move into the top three, as Contador and Kloden had broken free along with Andy and Frank Schleck. But when Contador attacked, only his own teammate could not follow.
Although he quickly let up, Saxo Bank's Schleck brothers accelerated to take further time out of Kloden. By the finish Kloden had lost 2:27 to the lead trio.
While Lance Armstrong and Kloden started the day ideally positioned in second and fourth place, respectively, they now have slipped to fourth and fifth.
At the finish in Le Grand Bornand, Johan Bruyneel could no longer hide his frustration. "I'm not happy about Alberto's attack on the Colombiere," he said. "The goal was to take time out of Bradley Wiggins and we were doing that. But it was not necessary to attack on the Colombiere. Before that moment we were looking at a one, two, three finish in Paris. Now we're looking more likely at a one, four, five finish."
Even Kim Anderson, director of the Schleck brothers on Saxo Bank, admitted his surprise. "Our plan was to attack early and break free with Contador," he said. "But our plan was definitely not to have Kloden get dropped by his own teammate."
Contador immediately defended his actions. "I'm sad for Kloden," he said at the press conference after the stage. "When I attacked I wanted to try to break free for the stage win or may just get away with Andy. But once I saw that Andreas was dropped I immediately slowed."
The communication breakdown between Contador and his Astana team is not the first at this year's Tour de France. Tensions between the Spaniard and the Bruyneel and Armstrong have been well documented throughout the race: On the first stage in the Pyrenees, Contador broke from team tactics by attacking in the final kilometers before the finish in Andorra. "That wasn't really the plan," Armstrong said bluntly after that stage. "But I didn't expect him to go by the plan. I wasn't surprised."
For his part, Bruyneel said that poor radio transmission also was to blame for any mix-up. Contador's attack, of course, showed no hesitation.
Contador has felt increasingly isolated within the team and he knows that, regardless of the final result of this year's Tour, he will part ways with Bruyneel and Armstrong at the end of the year, and perhaps even at the end of the Tour as Armstrong and Bruyneel will officially announce their new 2010 team on Thursday morning.
After the stage Contador also said of the situation, "I spoke with Bruyneel about the attack, and he said to speak with Kloden and Andreas said to go for it." The radio static may have confused the message between the riders and team cars.
As the communication divide continues within the Astana team, they need to hurry up and get to Paris. For Contador, only four more stages and five more dinners with his teammates separate him from winning his second Tour de France.

Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human INPP4b protein.
Phosphotidylinositol lipids and phosphoinositides are important second messengers, their generation controlling many cellular events. Intracellular levels of these molecules are regulated by phosphoinositide kinases and phosphatases. One of the best characterized lipid kinases is phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), which is responsible for phosphorylation on the D-3 position of the inositide head group (1). This action of PI3K catalyzes the production of phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-triphosphate by phosphorylating phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP), and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). Growth factors and hormones trigger this phosphorylation event, which in turn coordinates cell growth, cell cycle entry, cell migration, and cell survival (1). PTEN, the well characterized partnering phosphatase, reverses this process by removing the phosphate from PI(3,4,5)P3 at the D-3 position to generate PI(4,5)P2 (1,2). Dephosphorylation on the D-5 position to generate PI(3,4)P2 occurs through the action of SHIP1 or SHIP2 (3), and dephosphorylation on the D-4 position to generate PI(3)P can occur through the action of inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase isoenzymes type I (INPP4a) and type II (INPP4b) (4,5). While INPP4a has been implicated in neuronal survival and megakaryocyte lineage determination (6,7), less is understood about INPP4b. It has been shown that two splice variants of INPP4b occur in mice, each showing distinct tissue distribution and subcellular localization (5,8).

Bible Gateway Recommendations
View more titles
When John turns and looks behind him to see the voice (that is, to see where it was coming from), he sees seven golden lampstands (v. 12) and an extraordinary figure, apparently human, which he describes in considerable detail (vv. 13-16). The figure recalls more than anything else the "man dressed in linen" seen by Daniel "on the bank of the great river, the Tigris" according to Daniel 10:4-6. John's vision, like Daniel's, is given a precise geographical location, and the two figures have in common a golden belt or sash, a shining face, eyes like fire, feet of burnished bronze and an overwhelming voice. There are echoes of other biblical visions as well: Ezekiel's "man clothed in linen" in the Jerusalem temple (Ezek 9:2, 3, 11), Daniel's "Ancient of Days" whose "clothing was as white as snow" and "the hair of his head . . . white like wool" (Dan 7:9), and Daniel's "one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven" who "approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence" (Dan 7:13). All of these were either representatives or representations of the God of Israel.
Despite this rich background, nothing in John's account suggests that he recognized the figure that stood before him or that he identified it with any of these figures out of Daniel or Ezekiel. None of them had been holding seven stars, and none had a sharp double-edged sword sticking out of its mouth (v. 16). Nor did John at once identify the figure with Jesus, who united him with all Christians and for whose testimony he found himself on Patmos. All he could have said was that this figure, despite its human appearance, bore with it both the majesty and the terror of Almighty God. (The pronoun it is appropriate because as yet the figure has no personality for John, and no definite gender. It is for him nothing more—and nothing less—than a glorious, terrifying divine Presence). Such a figure in Jewish or Christian tradition is commonly called an angel (as, for example, in Rev 10:1), and it is a fair conjecture that an angel is what John would have called it too if words had not failed him. The reader's natural (though incorrect) assumption is that this is the "angel" mentioned in the title ("He made it known by sending his angel," 1:1).

bergen county, n.J., man charged in financial fraud scheme
March 7, 2012 |
NEWARK, N.J. – A Teaneck, N.J., man was charged today in connection with a scheme in which he allegedly defrauded Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC of more than $37,000, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Moshe Butler, 33, surrendered early this morning to FBI special agents in Newark on a Complaint charging him with one count of bank fraud. He is scheduled to make an initial appearance today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Cathy L. Waldor in Newark federal court.
According to the Complaint and other documents:
In July 2011, Butler opened an investment account with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney ("MSSB") in New York. He was the sole signatory on the account. The type of account that Butler opened allowed him to have immediate access to funds deposited by check. On Aug. 12, 2011, Butler funded his MSSB account by depositing a $50,000 check. He quickly used the entire $50,000 to cover the purchases of various securities and commodities option contracts. Butler's purchases were largely unsuccessful and within five days, he lost his entire $50,000 investment as well as an additional $18,921.
On Aug. 19, 2011, Butler deposited a $100,000 check into his MSSB account, purportedly to cover the negative balance in the account. The $100,000 check Butler deposited was drawn against a bank account that Butler solely controlled, but which had been closed by the issuing bank more than two months earlier, in part because Butler had written a dozen checks that were returned for insufficient funds. Despite having deposited a check he knew was written on a closed account, Butler took advantage of the fact that MSSB made the funds immediately available to him by quickly withdrawing $7,000 in cash and purchasing securities and commodities option contracts in his account. Those purchases were also unsuccessful and quickly resulted in additional losses of $11,496. In October 2011, Butler deposited a $30,000 check purportedly to cover the losses in his MSSB, but that check was also returned for insufficient funds. As a result of Butler's fraudulent scheme, MSSB has been defrauded out of at least $37,417. On Dec. 14, 2011, Butler pleaded guilty to a separate fraud scheme and is currently scheduled to be sentenced on May 8, 2012.
On the bank fraud count charged in the current Complaint, Butler faces a maximum potential penalty of 10 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special
Agent in Charge Michael B. Ward in Newark, for the investigation leading to today's Complaint.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew E. Beck, Deputy Chief of the General Crimes Unit in Newark.
This case was brought in coordination with President Barack Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force. President Obama established the interagency Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force to wage an aggressive, coordinated, and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. The task force includes representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general, and state and local law enforcement who, working together, bring to bear a powerful array of criminal and civil enforcement resources. The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch, and with state and local partners, to investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes.
The charge and allegations contained in the Complaint are merely accusations, and the defendant is considered innocent unless and until proven guilty.
Defense Counsel: Edward Dauber Esq., Newark
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced that federal disaster aid has been made available to the State of New Jersey.
FEMA is now accepting applications from residents and business owners who sustained losses in Atlantic County, Cape May County, Essex County, Hudson County, Middlesex County, Monmouth County, Ocean County and Union County.

The New York Power Authority (NYPA) is the nation's largest state-owned power organization with 17 generating facilities in various parts of New York State and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines. NYPA is a leader in promoting energy efficiency, new energy technologies and electric transportation initiatives. NYPA provides lower-cost power to government agencies; to municipally owned and rural-cooperative electric systems; to job-producing companies and non-profit groups; to private utilities for resale—without profit—to their customers; and to neighboring states, under federal requirements. Approximately 80 percent of the electricity it produces is clean renewable hydropower. A non-profit, public-benefit energy corporation, NYPA does not use tax revenues or state credits. It finances its projects through bond sales to private investors.
Linking the Authority's diversified product and service needs with qualified minority-and women-owned businesses is what the Authority's Supplier Diversity Program is all about.
In 1983, the Authority voluntarily established the Supplier Diversity Program. Since that time it has awarded hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts to Minority and Women Business Enterprises for items such as fuel oil, computer equipment and services, printing, office supplies, construction work and engineering services, to name a few.
With the enactment of Executive Law Article 15-A in 1988, the Authority's Supplier Diversity Program was revised to incorporate the rules and regulations promulgated by the New York State Governor's Office. In accordance with the law and with direction from the Governor's office, the Authority will continue its aggressive effort to increase utilization of M/WBE firms certified by New York State and to reach out to those firms who have yet to be certified. In addition, on September 1, 1994, Equal Employment Opportunity requirements were implemented on all applicable contracts.
In accordance with Executive Law Article 15-A, the Authority only recognizes minority or women-owned business, which have been certified by the Empire State Development Corp., Division of Minority and Women's Business Development. The law defines Minority or Women-Owned Businesses in the following manner:
Any business enterprise which is at least fifty-one percent owned by, or in the case of a publicly owned business, at least fifty-one percent of the stock is owned by citizens or permanent resident aliens who are:
Any business enterprise which is fifty-one percent owned by, or in the case of a publicly owned business, at least fifty-one percent of the stock is owned by citizens or permanent resident aliens who are women, and such ownership interest is real, substantial and continuing. The ownership must have and exercise the authority to independently control the business decisions of the entity.
For the link to the Directory of New York State Certified Minority and Women Owned firms, and more, go to
In order to be recognized as a Minority/Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE) by the Authority, your firm must be certified by the Empire State Economic Development's Division of Minority and Women's Business Development.
To request an application, obtain additional information on the NYS certification requirements or to initiate your certification process, contact one of the two offices listed below or visit their website:

please visit http://www.esd.ny.gov/MWBE.html
The following information was obtained from the New York State Department of State and pertains to all Out-of-State Corporations without a New York State address. This requirement does not apply to out-of-state firms who are sole proprietors.
To do business in New York State the corporation must possess a Certificate of Authority which can be obtained through any stationery store that carries legal documents.
A filing fee of $225.00 must be paid by certified check, attorney's check or money order.
The corporation must obtain the Certificate of Good Standing from the state in which they are located.
Upon completing the above process, the corporation will be qualified to apply for New York State certification.
At this point, the APPLICATION FOR AUTHORITY, together with a completed NYS M/WBE CERTIFICATION APPLICATION, should be submitted to the following address for processing:

The following partial list represents the variety of goods and services generally purchased or leased by the Authority:
SERVICES Accounting |
SUPPLIES/EQUIPMENT Appliances New/Repair |
Since the Authority purchases a vast amount of equipment, services and supplies to support its operations, maximum emphasis is placed on competitive bidding to meet quality and delivery requirements at the lowest possible cost.
There are two primary methods by which M/WBE's participate in the Authority's procurement activities. They are:
1) Direct Purchasing - The Authority contracts directly with the M/WBE for the goods and/or services.
2) M/WBE Utilization Goals - The M/WBE is sub-contractor to a prime vendor/contractor that has a contract with the Authority.
The M/WBE's role as a prime contractor on one contract does not preclude it from also seeking work as a subcontractor on another contract. It is not necessary for the M/WBE to hire agents, advisors and other intermediaries in order to compete for Authority contracts.
Normally proposals are submitted
to the Authority as a result of the Authority's issuance of a formal price
inquiry, public bid notice or invitation to bid. Each type of solicitation
contains instructions relative to proposal preparation and submission
Public Bid Notices are advertised in the New York State Contract Reporter, the State's Official weekly listing of bidding opportunities. Additional information including subscription instructions can be found on their Web site address at www.nyscr.org. The Authority's contract opportunities may also be found on our website see page 17 for more information. Additionally, the Authority advertises in the Minority Commerce Weekly mcbids.com. The Authority may issue statements of interest or other similar notices of various program opportunities.
For each product or service purchased, the Authority normally solicits bids through a number of qualified sources. It is imperative that each bidder follows ALL instructions and specifications. Each solicitation includes:
The proposal submitted by the vendor is the document intended to persuade the Authority's staff that the vendor is technically qualified, understands the scope of work and can perform the work in a timely, cost-effective manner.
Make sure your price includes all costs associated with performing the work. Remember you are at a disadvantage if you want to renegotiate the price after the work has begun. Legally, you may not be granted relief if mistakes (except perhaps for obvious arithmetic errors due to the extension of unit prices and corresponding quantities) are discovered after bid opening.
Questions regarding preparation of your bid proposals should be directed to the buyer identified in the bid document. THE AUTHORITY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR COSTS INCURRED IN THE PREPARATION OF PROPOSALS.
The New York Power Authority is committed to increasing the
procurement opportunities for Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises
(M/WBE's) at our headquarters and operating facilities.
Once you become a subcontractor, your success will depend
largely on your ability to carry out your obligations in a manner consistent with
accepted business practices.
1. Study the bid specifications and plans for the project. Make sure you know the scope of work.
2. Know the prime contract's provisions and requirements, such as the insurance provisions, prevailing wage rates, submission requirements and retention.
3. Ask the job or work site to become aware of conditions that may affect your bid price.
4. Ask the prime contractor for written clarification of any bid item(s) you do not understand.
5. Prepare accurate and detailed cost proposals or price quotes. The proposal submitted is the instrument intended to persuade the Authority's staff or Prime Contractor's staff for subcontracting work that you are technically qualified, understand the scope of work and can perform the work in a timely, cost effective manner. If you initially offer a price by telephone, follow up by sending the prime contractor or the Authority, as the case may be, written confirmation of the bid amount specified in our verbal quote.
6. During negotiations, document all conversations with the Authority or prime contractor. Be sure to note the time, date and name of the person with whom you spoke, as well as the nature of your discussion.
7. Notify NYPA's Supplier Diversity Department immediately if your company is listed by a prime contractor as an M/WBE without your knowledge or consent on an Authority related project.
8. Remember! Do not assume anything. When in doubt as to the meaning of any part of the procurement package, contact the issuing contract administrator.
1. Make sure you have a written (sub)contract agreement that includes the requirements, conditions and provisions of the job. Some items that should be addressed in the agreement include:
2. Ask the prime contractor to provide you with the project schedule specifying when your company is to start work on the project as well as the duration of your participation. This will permit you to allocate sufficient time for details such as placing orders or supplies and arranging for the leasing of equipment.
1. Keep a daily log of all work-related activities performed by your company. Focus on site conditions, unforeseen changes and oral directives from the Authority or the prime contractor. Communications with the Authority or prime contractor should be in writing as much as possible.
2. Make sure that change orders affecting your (sub)contract amount and your scope of work are in writing. The written change order should contain a statement of cost and should be signed by you and the Authority and/or the prime contractor.
3. Attempt to resolve problems and conflicts as they arise.
(Vendors that are NOT listed in the New York State Directory of Certified Minority and Women-Owned Businesses are considered general vendors.)
If your firm is listed in the New York State Directory of Certified Minority and Women-Owned Businesses, it will then automatically be included in the pool of vendors certified to meet NYPA's procurement needs. You must be certified by New York State in order for us to recognize your firm as a Minority or Women owned business. Lack of certification, however, does not preclude your firm from doing business with us. If your firm is not certified as an M/WBE by the State of New York and you request certification or additional information, please see Page 5 of this Guide.
The Authority does not maintain an official bidders list. The majority of bids in excess of $15,000 are advertised in the NYS Contract Reporter. (See page 10 for more information). Bids under $5K may be awarded to vendor of choice, although proposals may be solicited from several sources. Information regarding NYPA's current contracting opportunities may be found on the Authority's web site by going to WWW.NYPA.GOV "About Us " and selecting "Doing Business with Us" and looking for "Current Bidding Opportunities." Register and you will be able to see what the Authority has out for bids at that time as well as download the bids directly from the site.
Also please complete and return the Vendor Survey Form located at the rear of this ""Guide to Business Opportunities" along with any pertinent information on your company such as line cards, references, company literature or brochures etc. to this office.
All information should be mailed to:

Select: Current Bidding Opportunities
click "Quick Links"
To access the current bidding opportunities, plus additional information.
The Authority does not recognize proposals submitted solely on the proposer's initiative. Submitted proposals must be in response to a formal Request For Proposal (RFP).
After bids are opened, the proposals are evaluated for both their technical qualifications and commercial acceptability. If questions, exceptions or disagreements are expressed by either the Vendor or the Authority, negotiations may ensue. However, negotiations may only take place with the lowest qualified bidder. If mutually acceptable terms cannot be negotiated with the lowest evaluated bidder, the Authority may reject that bid and open negotiations with the next bidder, and so on. Where applicable, the M/WBE goal requirements can also serve as evaluative criteria in the final determination of a Bid Award.
Vendors must meet the pertinent quality assurance requirements for the commodity or service that they are supplying. The term "quality assurance" is defined as those planned and systematic actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that a system, structure or component possesses the material composition, physical characteristics and performance capability for which it was intended. Specific applicability or acceptability of quality assurance will be covered separately in each bidding document.
The Procurement Division's Staff welcomes the opportunity to acquaint new firms with the Authority's procurement procedures. A listing of key personnel is provided on pages 21 - 24 of this publication.
Most of the Authority's purchasing functions are performed by the White Plains Office and its other operating facilities. The Authority's operating facilities function as independent purchasing entities for certain site-specific goods and services. You may solicit the individual facilities to market your product, goods or services.
Experience has shown that successful bidders take an active approach in marketing their goods and services to the Authority. Active marketing involves direct contact with key personnel. We wish to emphasize the importance of active marketing, especially for those firms that have not previously worked with the Authority.
It is highly recommended that you make an appointment before coming in to see any Authority personnel. Normal appointment hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
To maintain security, all visitors must identify themselves upon entering, sign the visitor's register and obtain an identification badge. The badge must be worn conspicuously and returned to the guard upon your departure. Authority personnel must accompany visitors when moving from one department to another.

Investigators will return to the site of an oil leak that contaminated the Grand Calumet River in 1997 according to a story on www.nwitimes.com. Oil company BP will sink ground water monitoring wells to check for any remaining contamination in the soil. A leak mysteriously appeared at White Oak Avenue in Hammond from the six transcontinental pipes and eventually spread to the Roxana Marsh. The Marsh was part of a federal 80 million dollar cleanup recently. Amoco workers cleaned hundreds of cubic yards of tainted soil but found no source of contamination.

Muhammad Abduh is a leading representative of 19th century Muslim reformist thinking also known as Salafiyya. Like Sayyid al-Din al-Afghani and Rashid Rida he wanted to apply the role model of the pious forefathers of early Islam (al-salaf al-salih) to help the contemporary Muslim world cope with the challenges of domestic decline and Western modernity. Abduh is mostly known for his attempts to formulate a compromise acceptable to Arab conservatives and radical modernizers as well as the introduction of social innovations such as universal education for all Egyptians irrespective of gender.

The way Plasmoids currently create user interfaces for configuration is not really what one would hope it to be. We have set out to fix this for Plasma Workspaces 2 and today after some back and forth between Marco and myself, we are edging closer to what could well be a solution as near perfect as one could hope for. Before showing what we've come up with, let me explain how it works right now.
The current system was really designed for components written in C++ and coming from the world of QWidgets. At its most basic, a Plasmoid written in C++ would create a configuration interface "by hand" in the C++ code full of QPushButtons and the like. If they were fancy, they'd use Qt Designer to visually design the interface and then the build system would generate the code from that. If the developer was going for the extra brownie points, they may have used KConfigXT files which describe the configuration data using XML. This too would be converted at build time into C++ and compiled into the C++ library containing the component.
This was ultimately very flexible. The Plasmoid could do whatever it wanted, after all. However, it meant that we required compiled C++ code at some point. This was obviously at odds with the design goal of Plasmoids that came in the form of architecture independent script bundles.
So I wrote a small class that took the KConfigXT XML and parsed it into the same kind of object that the kconfig_compiler helper tool did. We then used Qt's ability to load Qt Designer files and create user interfaces at runtime and, voila, we had the ability to show a configuration interface from a scripted Plasmoid with zero C++ code.
There were two downsides to this. First, it meant that the developer had to learn how to write a KConfigXT file (Plasmate helps automate that, at least) and how to use Qt Designer. Normally this wouldn't be too much to ask, but we're trying to keep the barrier to entry low and the Plasmoid developer had just gone through the trouble of learning QML and/or Javascript to get this far. So this was not great.
The real problem, however, was that the scripted Plasmoid had no ability whatsoever to interact with the configuration interface. It was simply a static thing that got shown to the user on behalf of the Plasmoid by libplasma. This means that if the Plasmoid needed to create widgets on the fly, populate lists or comboboxes with data from the Plasmoid itself, validate data and more .. there was very little it could do. This prevented some Plasmoids from being QML only and forced C++/QML hybrids in some cases simply because of the configuration dialog.
With libplasma2 and Plasma Worskpaces 2 we decided to Do The Right Thing(tm) and see if we could make it possible to write configuration pages in QML. Keep in mind that we want to still be able to load KControl modules where needed, as seen in the device notifier configuration dialog, and that we want them to look like normal everyday configuration interfaces.
After some back-and-forth between Marco and myself on the mailing list and in the plasma-framework repository, we have accomplished this. Now one can put a config.qml file in contents/config/ and define each page that appears in the configuration dialog:
import QtQuick 2.0
import org.kde.plasma.configuration 0.1
ConfigModel {
ConfigCategory {
name: "General"
icon: "plasma"
source: "configGeneral.qml"
ConfigCategory {
name: "Page2"
icon: "stuff"
source: "whatever.qml"
The configuration defined in the KConfigXT XML is then automatically connected up with the UI, just as it does in the QWidget/C++ case. When the user is done, the config object in the QML with all the configuration options is updated and thanks to the magic of property binding in QML the changes are then automatically propagated to wherever they are being used. This greatly simplifies configuration change handling and makes it much more declarative and therefore feel more at home in QML.
The source property in the ConfigCategory items refer to QML files in the package; names of KControl modules will also be supported. This means that the developer only needs to content with QML and they have full interactive control over the configuration UI. With QML Components, it looks the same as a QWidget based layout.
This also means that now the configuration UI can also be adapted automatically at runtime to fit the form factor. On Plasma Active a touch friendly interface can be presented while on Plasma Desktop a mouse and keyboard focused interface can be shown. All that needs to be done is to create a touch directory in the Package with any specializes in it. Even without that, the QML Components themselves will be the touch or desktop variety, which already improves things dramatically.

That they allow pets.
That they only have a few pet rooms and since we booked on Priceline, they had to give us a room and they gave us a handicap room. They charged us wayyy to much for the dogs and wouldn't give us a late check out past half an hour. Very unfriendly.
We've stayed here 3 years in a row when we were in the area for a convention and this will be our last year. We knew it would be Days Inn when we booked it on Priceline and we liked it because they were so accommodating and friendly. This year they charged us a lot more for the pets, gave us a handicap room and they were just plain rude. We didn't ask for anything above & beyond but it was just too much for them.It was clean and the bed was nice.
Front desk was not very engaging or personal. Could care less if I was even there.
Too run down. Dirty.
The linens were dirty. The phone didn't work. It was very run down. The front desk staff was helpful and courteous though.Location is good,
price is a bit high for low seasion.
Receptionist was exceptional!
More waffle irons needed for the continental breakfast. That was a long wait.
The location was convenient
It needs some maintenance - like experior paint. Looks good from the road - somewhat shabby up close.
very close to Olympic National Park
Too close to Hwy-101 and with noise
Nice place to stay for visiting Olympic National Parkright off the 101, easy to get in and out of for the on the go traveler.
not a bad place at all. there was ample parking, coffee maker, and a microwave. the rooms where clean, the bed was comfy, and i couldn't ask for anything more.Clean, functional, no surprises. Everything in the room worked. Free breakfast, Internet, and parking. Friendly staff.
Noise from adjacent bathrooms and plumbing seeps into room.
Good experience overall. I would stay here again.

A classic American riddle asks, "Why is the state of Ohio different?" The traditional answer is, "Because it's HI in the middle and round on both ends (o-HI-o)." But there is another, equally valid response: "Because it's a Midwestern state with roads that curve like crazy." At least that's the case in southeastern Ohio.
Of course, the key word is "option". Nonetheless, the number of standard transmission VFRs produced will be far smaller than the DCT version, as Honda is banking on the allure of the DCT technology.
Like any of us who've been around for a while, Honda's VFR has changed. Meet one on the street and you'd never guess it was once the VF750F that tossed the sportbike world on its collective head in 1983. There's no hint of Fred Merkel's '85 AMA Superbike Championship, Wayne Rainey's five-straight wins in '86, or the 190-mph RC45 that won eight of 10 races under Miguel DuHamel in '95. Look closely and you can catch a glint of the broadband '98 VFR800. But beyond that three-letter prefix and its basic engine configuration, this VFR bears no resemblance to its illustrious ance
What a difference a year makes. Honda's biggest news in 2009 was the Fury chopper—a stretched-and slammed symbol of aughts-era conspicuous consumption, the two-wheeled equivalent of a Hummer on 28s. This year, the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer did an about face. The era of blinged-out butt jewelry is over, so American Honda representatives tell us. Our nation is hungry for economical, practical motorcycles. Enter the NT700V—just the bike for our post-recession age.
After nearly two decades of being a sleek thoroughbred with racing bloodlines, for 2002 uninspired styling and unnecessary gadgetry (VTEC) transformed the Honda VFR800 Interceptor into Rocinante, Don Quixote's ungainly steed.

Multipoint Estimation of Genetic Maps for Human Trisomies with One Parent or Other Partial Data The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 66, Issue 3, 1 March 2000, Pages 958-968 Eleanor Feingold, Amanda Savage Brown and Stephanie L. Sherman Abstract Centromeric-mapping methods have been used to investigate the association between altered recombination and meiotic nondisjunction in humans. For trisomies, current methods are based on the genotypes from a trisomic offspring and both parents. Because it is sometimes difficult to obtain samples from both parents and because the ability to use sources of DNA previously not available (e.g., stored paraffin-embedded pathological samples) has increased, we have been interested in creating similar maps for trisomic populations in which one of the parents of the trisomic individual is unavailable for genotyping. In this paper, we derive multipoint likelihoods for both missing-parent data and conventional two-parent data. We find that likelihoods for two-parent data and for data generated without a sample from the correctly disjoining parent can be maximized in exactly the same way but also that missing-parent data has a high frequency of partial data of the same sort produced by intercross matings. Previously published centromeric-mapping methods use incorrect likelihoods for intercross matings and thus can perform poorly on missing-parent data. We wrote a FORTRAN program to maximize our multipoint likelihoods and used it in simulation studies to demonstrate the biases in the previous methods. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (119 kb) |
Power of Linkage versus Association Analysis of Quantitative Traits, by Use of Variance-Components Models, for Sibship Data The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 66, Issue 5, 1 May 2000, Pages 1616-1630 P.C. Sham, S.S. Cherny, S. Purcell and J.K. Hewitt Abstract Optimal design of quantitative-trait loci (QTL) mapping studies requires a precise understanding of the power of QTL linkage versus QTL association analysis, under a range of different conditions. In this article, we investigate the power of QTL linkage and association analyses for simple random sibship samples, under the variance-components model proposed by Fulker et al. After a brief description of an extension of this variance-components model, we show that the powers of both linkage and association analyses are crucially dependent on the proportion of phenotypic variance attributable to the QTL. The main difference between the two tests is that, whereas the power of association is directly related to the QTL heritability, the power of linkage is related more closely to the square of the QTL heritability. We also describe both how the power of linkage is attenuated by incomplete linkage and incomplete marker information and how the power of association is attenuated by incomplete linkage disequilibrium.

Parametric-linkage analysis applied to large pedigrees with many affected individuals has helped in the identification of highly penetrant genes; but, for diseases lacking a clear Mendelian inheritance pattern or caused by several genes of low to moderate penetrance, a more robust strategy is nonparametric analysis applied to small sets of affected relatives, such as affected sib pairs. Here we show that the robustness of affected-sib-pair tests is related to the shape of the constraint set for the sibs' identity-by-descent (IBD) probabilities. We also derive a set of constraints for the IBD probabilities of affected sib triples and use common features of the shapes of the two constraint sets to introduce new nonparametric tests (called "minmax" tests) that are more robust than those in current use. Asymptotic-power computations support the robustness of the proposed minmax tests.

GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-26404 RIN 7100; 04 Regulation D Docket No. R-1467 FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM Final rule. Effective date: December 5, 2013. Compliance dates: The new low reserve tranche and reserve requirement exemption amount will apply to the fourteen-day reserve maintenance period that begins January 23, 2014. For depository institutions that report deposit data weekly, this maintenance period corresponds to the fourteen-day computation period that begins December 24, 2013. For depository institutions that report deposit data quarterly, this maintenance period corresponds to the seven-day computation period that begins December 17, 2013. The new values of the nonexempt deposit cutoff level, the reserve requirement exemption amount, and the reduced reporting limit will be used to determine the frequency at which a depository institution submits deposit reports effective in either June or September 2014. 12 CFR Part 204 The Board is amending Regulation D, Reserve Requirements of Depository Institutions, to reflect the annual indexing of the reserve requirement exemption amount and the low reserve tranche for 2014. The Regulation D amendments set the amount of total reservable liabilities of each depository institution that is subject to a zero percent reserve requirement in 2014 at $13.3 million (from $12.4 million in 2013). This amount is known as the reserve requirement exemption amount. The Regulation D amendments also set the amount of net transaction accounts at each depository institution (over the reserve requirement exemption amount) that is subject to a three percent reserve requirement in 2014 at $89.0 million (from $79.5 million in 2013). This amount is known as the low reserve tranche. The adjustments to both of these amounts are derived using statutory formulas specified in the Federal Reserve Act. The Board is also announcing changes in two other amounts, the nonexempt deposit cutoff level and the reduced reporting limit, that are used to determine the frequency at which depository institutions must submit deposit reports.

IS Organic Food Healthier For Kids? Um, Yes. Duh.
September 12, 2012
© Taylor Hengen Newman
I'm sure you've seen an article or two about the study out of Stanford by now. You know, the one about organic foods apparently not being more "healthy" (or so spun the media coverage) than their conventional counterparts? Yeah, well. That study -- and its subsequent media coverage -- missed a beat or two, and there's been some smart pushback popping up that echoes my reasons for (still) choosing organic over conventional foods. Like the study's author herself (ding-ding-ding!), I absolutely plan to continue buying local, organic produce for my family. And like the various journalists and commentators who've looked objectively, and through a big-picture lens, at the study's findings (and, er, funding), I feel those findings confirm that doing so is more "healthy" for my family, my community, and our planet. No question, no contest.
The study showed, most notably, that Vitamins A, C and E show up at about the same levels in both organic and conventional produce, making them ostensibly the same from a nutritional point of view. (This is what got organic food cynics all excited, FYI). It also showed detectable pesticide residues, another factor examined between the two types of food in the study, were found in 7% of the organic produce, and 38% of the conventional produce, evaluated.
Finding comparable levels of three vitamins between conventional and organic food qualifies as 'fun facts' information in my mind, but not as reason to dub the two types of foods equally "healthy." That pesticide residue was found at levels over five times higher in conventional produce than in organic is a far more meaningful takeaway. And although only three studies (out of those the Stanford study reviewed) found pesticide residue exceeding maximum allowed limits in the European Union on organic or conventional produce, the significance of the pesticide differential isn't, for me, mitigated by that info nugget.
Here's why: pesticides are amassing in our environment, and our bodies, at unprecedented levels, and the effects of their long-term build-up, and in increasingly complicated combinations, are mostly unknown. But we do know that these chemicals negatively affect our health, causing cancers, nervous system damage, and even changes to our DNA. In a nutshell: pesticides are bad news bears.
Babies and children are especially susceptible to their negative effects. A Montreal and Harvard University study from May 2010 showed that "exposure to pesticide residues on vegetables and fruit may double a child's risk of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a condition that can cause inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity in children." And, a July 2007 study conducted by researchers at the Public Health Institute, the California Department of Health Services, and the UC Berkeley School of Public Health "found a six-fold increase in risk factor for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) for children of women who were exposed to organochlorine pesticides." No doubt these studies are the tip of the iceberg, too, and I'm not about to volunteer my kid as a human petri dish by way of our dinner table.
This stuff is a bummer to discuss -- but hey, we're all adults here, right? -- and although we can't individually prevent industrialized agriculture from leaching chemicals into our soil, water and air (and thus, eventually, into our bodies), we can control what lands on our families' plates. We can limit our kids' exposure to, and overall intake of, pesticides in this way alone. Purchasing food that hasn't been grown with the use of harmful pesticides also places a vote, by way of our wallets (arguably more influential than any other type of vote in America today), for keeping food production practices clean.
So, yeah, pesticides are really more at issue than vitamins when it comes to "healthy" organic or conventional foods, and organic foods come out, a la the Stanford study, on top. But in a larger context, I think we need to look at more than just organic labels when evaluating what food options are most healthy. Pesticides' negative impact on the environment counts against them as much as their direct impact on our health does. Let me break this down: environmental health = our health. (When the planet goes, people, we go, too.) Likewise, organic ground beef shipped in from Uruguay -- i.e. the rainforest -- is not 'healthy' just because it's organic, at least in terms of its impact on our environment… and therefore on all of us.
There's also been some recent uproar around Big Agriculture's ties to the government bodies that regulate organic labelling; there's a lot of cash at stake in even the organic foods industry -- Organic foods make up 12% of all U.S. fruit and vegetable sales -- and the big dogs want in, you know? As a result of this involvement, there's been some question raised as to how well those regulating entities are doing their jobs, and how many pesticides are now getting through the 'organic' gate. However deep that involvement runs and however real the scandals are (or aren't), supporting small, local farmers is the best way to avoid this mess altogether. By buying locally, you'll know where your food is coming from, and where your money's going, and you can ask the farmer directly if he or she uses chemical pesticides at all.
Other post-Stanford study commentary has highlighted the issue of Genetically Modified foods (which must be labeled in Europe, but not in the US); foods labeled as organic cannot, by law, contain any GM ingredients. Health implications abound on this topic, too. But whether attention is turned toward pesticides, our bodies, our environment, or our local food options, I'm honestly encouraged to see the conversation continuing, and expanding in each of these directions, rather than ending at "Organic foods aren't more healthy, so there!" It's just not as simple as that.
It doesn't behoove us to oversimplify, and distort, a study's findings in the name of shutting a conversation – one that's often seen more as a class war than a real health, and human rights, issue -- down. It might be tempting to try and justify the cheap, easy production (and purchase) of food by ignoring its big-picture effects on our health and our planet. But the big picture matters, whether in terms of struggling local economies, rising childhood cancer rates, or this planet's potential to sustain and nurture our kids – and their kids – when they're grown. In this kind of big-picture context, the Stanford study showed what other studies have shown, and continue to reflect: organic foods are more healthy, for our bodies and our world, however their vitamin C content compares.
What do you think of the Stanford study's findings? Does your family eat organic food? Why or why not? Leave a comment!
PS. I love that food can fill our bellies and solve worldwide crises! Click here to read about a recent change on my family's table in the name of both objectives.

V.P. Boehner? Not If He Has To Go To Funerals, The Speaker Jokes
By Mark Memmott
Originally published on Thu September 15, 2011 3:17 pm
There was a funny moment during House Speaker John Boehner's appearance at The Economic Club of Washington a few minutes ago.
Asked if he might be a possible Republican vice presidential nominee in 2012, Boehner — who's known for his habit of tearing up — joked that it's unlikely he'd be good for that job:
"It's hard enough for me to go to funerals of people I know, much less don't know."
Our post on the substance of his address is here: "Boehner Pushes GOP Ideas On Overhauling Taxes."

From: Ronnie Smith, Vice Chancellor, Administration and Finance Subject: Hurricane Katrina Recovery – Update #116 Posted: April 23, 2010
The contractor working in the Allied Health/Nursing Building completed laying CMU block in the stairwell near the MEB loading dock. They finished laying block in both stairwells along the Bolivar St. side of the building and for the restrooms along Bolivar St. They began laying CMU block in the Tiger Room along S. Roman St. The ceiling tile was removed from the Tiger Room and sprinkler heads repaired. The electricians installed conduits on the 1st Floor area across from the MEB loading dock.
At the Resource Center, the contractor ran conduit on the 1st Floor and into Room 203 for future emergency lines. Crews installed temporary walls in the bookstore and completed chipping out the floor penetrations for the fuel line on all floors. The temporary elevator shaft wall is complete. Crews continue installing electrical conduits for the emergency power.
Two 4 inch domestic cold water lines were installed along the C-tower of the Student Residence Hall on the Perdido Street side. Workers installed forms and steel rebar to prepare for pouring the twelve concrete columns that will support the new mechanical/electrical structure. They poured the concrete for the first 2 of the 12 columns and stripped the forms. Crews are installing underground electrical conduit and plumbing pipes in both utility chases.
The contractor finished installing the new lab casework in the 7th Floor lab in the Lions/LSU Clinic Building. Workers continue installing countertops, connecting gas pipes, and terminating data ports for the lab furniture. The contractor installed the new light fixtures in the 8th Floor main lobby area.
The contractor set the concrete forms and poured and finished the concrete for first section of sidewalk adjacent to the new fence along Florida Avenue. The forms were then removed. Crews also built the forms for the final section of sidewalk along Florida Avenue extending to the horseshoe drive. They poured and finished the concrete and stripped the forms.
Work on the covered walkway that will connect the District Energy Garage to the Clinical Education Building continues. The contractor brought in 4 loads of fill and removed the handicap ramp from the side entrance to the CEB. They began grading the lot and removed the concrete patio along the side of the building.
A project to clear and grade the open field between Florida Avenue and the railroad tracks has begun. The contractor installed the silt fence along Florida Avenue and began clearing and grubbing the site. They have the top layer of vegetation and soil from the site. The contractor finished the grading work for the new visitor parking lot. They have completed 90 percent of the rough grading and continue to cut the final grade contours.
Facility Services completed installation of irrigation piping and sprinkler stations on the Florida Avenue and parking lot sides of the School of Dentistry Clinic Building and connected control wires for last three sprinkler station valves. Crews removed vegetation on the Florida Avenue side of the School of Dentistry Clinic Building and began grading. They completed approximately 80 percent of vegetation removal.
Here are highlights of work that has been accomplished during the past two weeks.
