In the last lesson, you learned that variables declared inside a block have block scope. Block scope variables can only be accessed within the block in which they are declared (or a nested sub-block), and are destroyed when the block ends.
Variables declared outside of a block are called global variables. Global variables have program scope, which means they can be accessed everywhere in the program, and they are only destroyed when the program ends.
Here is an example of declaring a global variable:
int g_nX; // global variable int main() { int nY; // local variable nY // global vars can be seen everywhere in program // so we can change their values here g_nX = 5; } // nY is destroyed here
Because global variables have program scope, they can be used across multiple files. In the section on programs with multiple files, you learned that in order to use a function declared in another file, you have to use a forward declaration, or a header file.
Similarly, in order to use a global variable that has been declared in another file, you have to use a forward declaration or a header file, along with the extern keyword. Extern tells the compiler that you are not declaring a new variable, but instead referring to a variable declared elsewhere.
Here is an example of using a forward declaration style extern:
// declaration of g_nValue int g_nValue = 5;
// extern tells the compiler this variable is declared elsewhere extern int g_nValue; int main() { g_nValue = 7; return 0; }
Here is an example of using a header file extern:
// declaration of g_nValue int g_nValue = 5;
#ifndef GLOBAL_H // header guards #define GLOBAL_H // extern tells the compiler this variable is declared elsewhere extern int g_nValue; #endif
#include "global.h" int main() { g_nValue = 7; return 0; }
Generally speaking, if a global variable is going to be used in more than 2 files, it's better to use the header file approach. Some programmers place all of a programs global variables in a file called globals.cpp, and create a header file named globals.h to be included by other .cpp files that need to use them.
Local variables with the same name as a global variable hide the global variable inside that block. However, the global scope operator (::) can be used to tell the compiler you mean the global version:
int nValue = 5; int main() { int nValue = 7; // hides the global nValue variable nValue++; // increments local nValue, not global nValue ::nValue--; // decrements global nValue, not local nValue return 0; } // local nValue is destroyed
However, having local variables with the same name as global variables is usually a recipe for trouble, and should be avoided whenever possible. Using Hungarian Notation, it is common to declare global variables with a "g_" prefix. This is an easy way to differentiate global variable from local variables, and avoid variables being hidden due to naming collisions.
New programmers are often tempted to use lots of global variables, because they are easy to work with, especially when many functions are involved. However, this is a very bad idea. In fact, global variables should generally be avoided completely!
Why global variables are evil
Global variables should be avoided for several reasons, but the primary reason is because they increase your program's complexity immensely. For example, say you were examining a program and you wanted to know what a variable named g_nValue was used for. Because g_nValue is a global, and globals can be used anywhere in the entire program, you'd have to examine every single line of every single file! In a computer program with hundreds of files and millions of lines of code, you can imagine how long this would take!
Second, global variables are dangerous because their values can be changed by any function that is called, and there is no easy way for the programmer to know that this will happen. Consider the following program:
// declare global variable int g_nMode = 1; void doSomething() { g_nMode = 2; } int main() { g_nMode = 1; doSomething(); // Programmer expects g_nMode to be 1 // But doSomething changed it to 2! if (g_nMode == 1) cout << "No threat detected." << endl; else cout << "Launching nuclear missiles..." << endl; return 0; }
Note that the programmer set g_nMode to 1, and then called doSomething(). Unless the programmer had explicit knowledge that doSomething() was going to change the value of g_nMode, he or she was probably not expecting doSomething() to change the value! Consequently, the rest of main() doesn't work like the programmer expects (and the world is obliterated).
Global variables make every function call potentially dangerous, and the programmer has no easy way of knowing which ones are dangerous and which ones aren't! Local variables are much safer because other functions can not affect them directly. Consequently, global variables should not be used unless there is a very good reason!

AJ's salon in the West Loop gets brush with fame on 'Chicagolicious'
BY LORI RACKL TV firstname.lastname@example.com June 10, 2012 9:46PM
HIGHLIGHTS OF THEIR DAYS: Salon owner AJ Johnson (foreground, laughing) and his crew are followed on "Chicagolicious," premiering Monday. | DOM NAJOLIA~SUN-TIMES
8 to 9 p.m. Mondays on Style Network
Updated: July 12, 2012 6:07AM
An employee at AJ's beauty salon is in the back room, mixing Mountain Dew, La Croix and a splash of Coke Zero to make it look like champagne.
Filled flutes in hand, she ventures into the main area of the West Loop salon that's at the center of Style Network's new docu-soap "Chicagolicious." She saunters past a couple of clients who look more like background extras, sitting under hair dryers that don't appear to be on.
About an hour earlier, AJ's got a delivery of cupcakes decorated for St. Patrick's Day — even though it's April.
I later bring up some of these "reality" TV observations made during a "Chicagolicious" set visit with the show's creator and executive producer, who takes it in stride.
"All the stories we're following are real stories," said Alex Duda, a three-time Emmy Award winner. "They're all based on what's happening in the stylists' real life, but we have to organize them into our production schedule."
That schedule called for filming the action both inside and outside of AJ's, 648 W. Randolph, over winter and spring. Crews followed ambitious salon owner AJ Johnson in his quest to build his business and make a national name for himself.
AJ and his primping posse of employees — along with several well-heeled clients — made their way about town, working fashion shows and galas, celebrating AJ's birthday at Japonais with Charlie and Rochelle Trotter, and dining everywhere from Michelin-starred Moto to Al's Beef.
"These are real people, not actors reading lines," Duda said about her spinoff of "Jerseylicious," now in its fourth season. "AJ has a salon. He's trying to make it on a national level. Everything he's doing on the show is real and everyone who works there is real."
These real people are also real characters. Especially the salon's namesake.
The extroverted entrepreneur, who's hammier than an Easter buffet, boasts a client list that includes celebrities such as Jennifer Hudson, Angela Bassett and Iman.
"I'm very well known in the city," said Johnson, single father of a 22-year-old aspiring rapper.
"I used to hear all the time, 'You should have a reality show,' " he said. "I want to let everybody know how amazing I am, how talented I am and how talented my team is."
That team includes Howard Godfrey, a flirtatious, fitness-obsessed barber born in Chicago's housing projects.
Valincia Saulsberry is the resident diva prone to fighting fellow former model Katrell Mendenhall for the salon's alpha female spot.
Hair extension whiz-kid MaCray Huff is a flamboyant fish-out-of-water from the South who's besties with make-up artist Austin Maxfield, 23, an ingénue whom AJ calls his "diamond in the rough."
In the show's pilot, a naive Maxfield orders red snapper at Vivo and is dismayed to learn it's fish, not red meat.
When the salon gets a gig doing hair and make-up for a high-profile fashion event at Logan Square's Stan Mansion, Maxfield says she's excited because she's never been to a "gala" before.
"I honestly didn't even know what it was," she tells the designers. "I had to Google it."
The show's beauty is that it's both aspirational and accessible, Duda said. AJ's employees work in an upscale environment catering to a clientele who have it made, while several of the stylists are "still making their way and striving," she said. "That upstairs/downstairs thing is kind of fun."
"Chicagolicious" isn't just a Windy City version of the New Jersey original.
"The salon in 'Chicagolicious' — you've never really seen this kind of salon before on TV," she said. "It's a trendy, affluent salon in an urban environment with a diverse clientele, diverse stylists."
Unlike "Jerseylicious," set about 90 minutes outside New York City in Green Brook, N.J., the Chicago incarnation spends more time dwelling on AJ's customers and the fancy circles they run in. Local movers and shakers pop up in frequent cameos, which lends added appeal to hometown viewers. Socialite Candace Jordan, ex-Chicago Bear Garrett Wolfe, Ald. Walter Burnett (27th) and NBC news anchor Marion Brooks are among the many notables who get air time.
So does the city itself, and it looks pretty darn good.
"The city is a character," Duda said. "We want to show it in its very best light. It's going to make people want to go there."
That might explain why some of the footage came courtesy of the Chicago Office of Tourism and Culture.
One thing that isn't different from "Jerseylicious," or just about any show of this kind, is your typical ration of catfights, conundrums, humor and personal drama — all that stuff that tends to give reality TV a bad name.
"I feel like a lot of the people who look down on it are truly watching it because there are stakes," Duda said. "The stakes are real. That's the one thing you don't have in a scripted show."


text: 24 is the kind of TV show that begs endless questions, but those familiar with the Go-Betweens a semi-obscure '80s Australian pop band are fixated on one in particular: Did the Fox drama name a shady company McLennan-Forster as a wink to the group's co-frontmen, Grant McLennan and Robert Forster? ''We're always cycling through so many character and company names and frankly it has a great ring,'' says 24 exec producer Evan Katz, a big fan of the Go-Betweens (who have a new CD due May 3). ''If it didn't sound right, I never would've done it, but it seemed like a good opportunity to pay homage to a very talented cult band.'' He says he doesn't expect anything from the Go-Betweens for the prime-time plug, but certainly wouldn't complain if he received ''a soundboard recording of their Barbican Centre concert in London last summer. I already have a T-shirt.''

Squirrelmail, dovecot IMAP and sendmail - how to make it work?

Squirrelmail, dovecot IMAP and sendmail - how to make it work?
I hope somebody can help me with this:
My box is HSPcomplete control panel VPS.
I installed Squirrelmail and dovecot (IMAP) and can login to Squirrelmail and send emails OK with my account "username".
But no email I send from somwhere else (e.g. Yahoo Mail etc.) shows in SquirrelMail, though I can see it has been received since it is present in file /var/spool/vmail/mydomain.com/mail/username
Obviously my MX record is OK, and sendmail is delivering it to the proper virtual user mbox (status is OK in /var/log/maillog as well).
The question is how do I "link" dovecot to provide this virtual user mbox (/var/spool/vmail/mydomain.com/mail/username) as an INBOX for "username" when using Squirrelmail ?
I read for more than an hour, but coulldn't find how to do ut anywhere on the web.
I tried by setting
default_mail_env = mbox:/var/spool/vmail/%d/%n
in /etc/dovecot.conf, but ti doesn't work (ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server. Query: SELECT "INBOX" )
(and yes, I do restart dovecot every time I change its config).
Anybody with an idea? Thanks in advance!

Good Work
The question of what it means to be a professional was explored at length in PRB's September and October 2007 issues ("How Professional Are You," Parts 1 and 2). One conclusion was that some managers aspire–or are inspired–to achieve a special type of professionalism referred to as a "calling." This was explained as a harmonious combination of internal and external perspectives about skill set, motivation and perception.
In their book, Good Work, noted psychologists Howard Gardner (multiple intelligences), Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (flow) and William Damon (morality) examined what it means to be "called" in relation to finding personal and professional fulfillment by producing high-quality work that also has a positive impact on society. The authors' basic question is, In these challenging times, can people be both excellent and ethical?
Four Powerful Forces
The answer seems like a simple "yes," but four forces in the modern world create scenarios in which managers are faced with difficult choices:
· Powerful technologies
· The growing dominance of the competitive marketplace
· The decline in a shared meaning of "ethical" behavior
· A reduction in the number of people who can be viewed as role models.
Outcomes influenced by the four forces have consequences for individuals, their agencies and society that are positive, negative or both.
For example, communication technology allows managers and staff to be "available" 24/7, but may interfere with their own recreation and leisure; budget issues can tempt public-sector agencies to hike user fees to increase revenue, but shut out people who earn lower incomes; mandates for higher productivity can tempt people to cut corners; and executive bonus payouts can influence staff to sell out or drop out.
Aligned Versus Misaligned
Balancing the four forces is alignment, while an imbalance among them results in misalignment, measured according to three criteria (see figure):
1. Quality or level of performance (low to high)
2. Effect on the individual/agency/society (positive or negative)
3. Matching decisions or actions to internal and external financial expectations (operating according to the organizational type: e.g., public, non-profit, or market).
Each of the criteria involves ethical choices that affect excellence, and also the degree to which agency employees "get into the flow" of what they do. The least desirable scenario exhibits low-quality, financial shenanigans and a negative impact on people. Conversely, excellent quality created within an appropriate financial philosophy that benefits everyone produces the feeling of fulfillment associated with good work.
Graffiti As A Financial Asset?
When I presented at a conference in Melbourne, Australia, in 2008, one of the political issues being debated was the fate of a small graffito depicting Star Wars' R2-D2 spray-painted on an alley wall. To some officials it was an example of pure vandalism, an embarrassing defacement of property that collectively "costs local governments over $260 million a year to clean up," according to an ABC News Australian report. This scenario represents maximum misalignment. However, the story took a fascinating turn when a "positive" development was introduced.

My son seems to have difficulty behaving on the bus.

If he has a 504 plan he can, I would ask for an evaluation, and go from there. I would bring his issues to the attention of the Principle, see if he/she can help.
|Wed, 09-21-2011 - 12:40pm
Heidi, have you asked about getting him a 504 plan in place yet? It never hurts to get one started, especially as he gets older and might need some accommodations.
|Fri, 09-23-2011 - 12:55pm
I have my son on a 504 plan.. I love it and so does my son.. Last year my poor son was suspended more than he attended school. I wrote a letter to the principle, school counselor requesting a meeting to put my son on a 504 plan. I wrote down all the things my child needs to help him from being able to walk out of class to a quiet place, to listening to his IPOD... I had to be my childs voice.. This years an amazing difference he is in honor classes and hasn't been suspended one. (keeping my fingers crossed)

Fear 1/5
Gore 2/5
Entertainment 4/5
Creepiness 3/5
Nightmares 0/5
Raw and bizarre film about (I believe) extreme paranoia. Ashley Judd plays a lonely woman living in a tiny hotel in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere (Oklahoma). Aside from working as a waitress in a lesbian bar, she seems to do nothing but smoke pot, snort coke and lounge around. She is harassed and abused by her recently paroled ex-husband (played very convincingly by Harry Connick) and continues to lament the tragic disappearance of her son who was kidnapped some 10 years ago.
Enter Peter, a quiet and strange guy that Judd's friend R.C. brings home from the bar one night to get stoned with them. Judd and he strike up a weird relationship where he begins to explain that he is currently AWOL from the Army after coming to the conclusion that he was being experimented upon after serving in the first Gulf War. He subscribes to a number of insane ideas, not the least of which is his belief that there are minuscule aphids in his blood sending transmissions to "them". It's difficult to tell if Judd goes along with his crazy ideas simply out of loneliness and a desire to have someone around in her life or whether she truly believes him. Often Peter's theories could almost be plausible, if one were to discard logic and simply go with it (which is kind of scary in itself).
Either way, when his delusions start to become more real (yanking teeth out of his head for example) she begins to exhibit the same behaviors and the movie gets really freaky. He crushes the tooth and places it under a microscope, peers in and then hands it over to Judd who gasps and blurts out "millions!"
This is a unsettling movie boiling with tension and stress. It has some great visuals and very good use of color. Connick is a menacing presence and Michael Shannon (who played Peter in the play the film is based on) is outstanding. But know that this is not the kind of film that offers any easy answers or resolution and you won't leave feeling happy or relieved. It's never made very clear what is actually happening (though the straight ahead assessment that he's crazy and she was waiting for her cue is good enough for me) and it ends rather suddenly and startlingly with a few open ends. The performances are great and the dialogue is fantastic.
A long time ago I held a job working in a group home for mentally challenged men. One of the men suffered from schizophrenia and would often ramble on about nonsensical things that really only made sense if you were in the same mindset as he was . Occasionally he would have these jarring moments of clarity where he would speak and move like any other person you knew. It was very unsettling. That's the impression I get from this - creepy, weird and scary because I can't get a grip on it. Well played.
Complaint Department
I rented this movie based on Complaint Department's sterling review. It was totally different than what I thought it was going to be. From the name and the trailers that I saw, I thought it was going to be a creature feature a la The Fly.
I too drew the same conclusion in regards to Ashley Judd's character although I think its the only one that fits. The scene where her character begins to hear helicopter blades whizzing in the air was the turning point and particularly telling.
This film was completely unnerving and became even more so as the end began to unravel. As the credits rolled, all I could say is 'wow'. Recommended indeed.

Touch Dictionary (formerly known as Touch Dic) is a dictionary software title for the Nintendo DS released in 2005.
The dictionary offers translation to and from English, Japanese, and Korean. An advertisement for the game claims it offers 1.63 million words.[2]
On the bottom screen, the user enters the word he or she wants to translate in the source language, using the on-screen keyboard. Above the keyboard, a list of possible source words is displayed. The user can choose between multiple words with similar spelling, such as touch (タッチ tacchi ) and Dutch account (ダッチ・アカウント dacchi akaunto ). The top screen displays the results of the search. The user can scroll between results using an on-screen scroll wheel on the right side of the lower screen.
The title was developed by YBM Sisa, a company that primarily creates English software for teaching people English.[1] It was published by Daiwon C&A Holdings,[3] now known as Daewon Media. The name was changed from Touch Dic to Touch Dictionary for release. It was released only in South Korea. A Korean video advertisement for Touch Dictionary uses the phrase "단어를 자극한다" (daneoleul jageukhanda) as a slogan.[4] Roughly translated, it means "Words stimulate."
Sony Computer Entertainment Korea produced a similar game, Hand Dictionary, for release for the PlayStation Portable.[5] Comparing it with the Touch Dic, IGN jokingly called Sony's version Hand Dic.[6]
The original name of the game, Touch Dic, fostered controversy after FailBlog posted the cover,[citation needed] noting the similarity of the word 'dic' to the word 'dick', slang for penis. Gaming blog Joystiq called the title "[p]otentially offensive."[7]

NEW YORK (AP) Saying no to a toddler's demands for a McDonald's meal got a father branded an inept parent, he says in a lawsuit claiming a psychologist urged a judge to curtail his parental visits over the dinner debacle.
David E. Schorr says psychologist Marilyn Schiller pronounced him incapable of caring for his nearly 5-year-old son after he offered a choice, dinner anywhere but McDonald's, or no dinner at all, and let the boy choose the latter. He then took his irate son home to the boy's mother's house early from their Oct 30 dinner date, according to a defamation suit Schorr filed Tuesday.
Schiller didn't immediately return a call Friday.
Schorr, an attorney and employee-benefits consultant, is in the midst of a contentious divorce with estranged wife Bari Yunis Schorr. Schiller was court-assigned to evaluate the couple and their child, according to the lawsuit.
Schiller's reports and other filings in the divorce case aren't public; court records indicate only that there have been a flurry of filings over two years. Bari Schorr's lawyer, Louis I. Newman, declined to comment.
While the case plays out, David Schorr has alternate weekends and dinner every Tuesday with his son, according to the defamation suit.
"Normally not a very strict father who rarely refuses his child McDonald's," Schorr put his foot down Oct. 30 "because his son had been eating too much junk food," the suit said. Schorr himself didn't immediately return a call Friday.
He quickly regretted his stance when his son threw a tantrum, but he felt that giving in would reward bad behavior, so he offered the elsewhere-or-nowhere "final offer," as his court papers put it.
"The child, stubborn as a mule, chose the 'no dinner' option," the suit says. And the father promptly carted the boy back to Bari Schorr's building, still trying to entice the child into changing his mind as they waited in the lobby for her to get home from work, according to the suit.
Schiller told a judge the fast food flap "raises concerns about the viability" of the father's weekend visits with his son and asked a judge to eliminate or limit them, his lawsuit says.

text: 2011 Season: Williams preview 19 March, 2011 Pastor Maldonado and Rubens Barrichello What they say:Mar.21 (AT&T Williams) Rubens Barrichello: Everyone is doubly excited about the first race as we should already have been racing by now. It was great to get more time at home with the kids but I want to get started and can't wait to see the red lights go out in Melbourne and for the season to be officially underway. It is always an exciting moment when everyone lines up on the grid with no points on the board. I always fantasise a little about what could be, but I keep my feet on the ground and focus on the race ahead. I am absolutely looking forward to getting to Australia. Pastor Maldonado: I feel more than ready to start my first season in Formula One. I have never been to Melbourne before but we've done a good amount of testing which will add to the time I have spent learning the circuit in our simulator. I am now just looking forward to going racing. It will be a very exciting moment. My aim this weekend is to get a solid finish, and to score some points. Sam Michael, Technical Director: Melbourne is a typical street circuit. It will be interesting to go there for the first time with Pirelli tyres, although there should be less stress on the tyres there than there has been at some of the higher speed test tracks we have been to so far. Albert Park evolves over the course of the weekend because the circuit is made up of predominantly public roads. This means that the track is slippery at the start of the weekend, but grip levels improve as rubber is put down on the racing line, largely done through all the practice sessions which help to clear oil and contaminants from the surface. The FW33 is fully prepared for the first race of the season. Regarding the aero package, we have all the parts that we ran on the final days of testing in Barcelona, plus a few additional changes that we will test on Friday. The main focus over the course of the first few races is, of course, performance, but also to ensure that the car is reliable. We will also find out where we sit in the order. Overall, we are just looking forward to getting out there and going racing again! From Cosworth's perspective: As a circuit, Albert Park is very enjoyable, flowing and quite straight-forward on engine demands. It is a street race, though, which usually means a lot of debris on the track, such as rubbish or leaves, and that can have an adverse effect on the cooling systems as the race progresses. The race is high fuel consumption per kilometre which means that cars run one of the highest fuel loads of the season to compensate. Wet weather and safety car incidents, both of which are quite common in the Australian Grand Prix, can help manage fuel consumption and safety car periods can often dictate race strategy. You could risk running lighter on fuel on the off chance that a safety car appears but if it fails to materialise there is a downside of having to run 'lean' for the entire race. On an engine severity scale, Albert Park is about middle of the range but the fact that it is the first race of the season means that this race will be the first time that the KERS-adapted CA2011k engine is run in anger over a full race weekend. From Pirelli's perspective: Here we are, at the start of what is a brand new adventure for us and all the teams. We're very much looking forward to it, even though Australia is going to be somewhat different to the conditions we have experienced in official testing, with a more abrasive surface and higher temperatures. Despite that, we've seen that a number of teams already have a clear idea of the different strategies possible and Williams is certainly one of those. It's obvious that there's a lot of experience within the team, which will be a very useful resource. vv What we say:Mar.20 (Daniel Chalmers) Looking ahead at the 2011 Formula 1 World Championship, which gets underway with the Australian Grand Prix weekend, at Albert Park in Melbourne with Free Practice 1 on Friday 25 March. Race Debut: Argentina 1978 Base: Grove Chairman: Adam Parr Team Principal: Sir Frank Williams Director of engineering: Patrick Head Chief Designer: Tim Densham Technical Director: Sam Michael Race starts: 540 Championships: 16 Race victories: 113 Pole Positions: 126 Fastest laps: 130 Points: 2,661 Podiums: 296 Races led: 219 Strength: As the team exist just to race the team is full of pure racers. Weakness: Whilst the Cosworth engine isn't too shabby it's the weakest in the field. It's been a few barren years now for Williams but there are signs that they could be on the verge of a new and more positive era. It seems like a long time ago when the team from Grove were winning championships galore. The main problem for the team is their finances. It's very hard to compete with the likes of Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes and Red Bull who all have much bigger budgets and on the whole better facilities too. It's not become any easier as the team have lost RBS, Air Asia and Philips who were all major sponsors of the team. Nico Hulkenberg showed promise last season, and surely would have become much more competitive had he remained at the team this year. However it's a sign of how hard times have become when Williams had to replace him with Pastor Maldonado who brings crucial funds from Venezuela. With an all South American driver line-up it should hopefully help the team attract more sponsors from that part of the world. This along with a stock flotation will keep the team healthy financially. In terms of the car it's fair to say that the FW33 is a much more aggressive design, than the conservative designs we have seen over the last few seasons. What's particularly interesting is the rear end of the car. The team have gone for a small gearbox to allow for more development at the rear of the car. The rear is tightly packaged in order to improve the airflow to the rear wing. This will hopefully help produce more downforce. This in turn could aid the preservation of the tyres during races, which is now critical with high degradation rate on the tyres. When you look at the long stint times from Barcelona testing you certainly see evidence of the FW33's ease on the tyres. There was one stint where Rubens Barrichello did 13 out of 14 laps all in the 1:31s. Although that is not a particularly quick time (in comparison Red Bull and Ferrari were able to do 1:29s on full tanks) it's very promising that Rubens maintained that pace throughout the stint. We have seen other very strong long runs from him earlier in the test too. So Williams might not have brilliant raw pace, but could potentially be a very strong race car which can make progress through the field on a Sunday. The raw pace of the car isn't too bad though. In a one lap simulation Rubens posted a 1:22.2. That wasn't a bad time considering the team didn't have KERs working when that lap was set. Therefore they could have easily been amongst the few teams to set a time in the 1:21s. Despite problems with KERs Williams do plan to run the system in Melbourne. Fingers crossed that is the right decision. It's very feasible that we could see Williams being one of the early surprises of the season. However their potential success could also depend on if they can keep up in the development race, which could be difficult with the strong teams around them in the midfield. Team ratings: Engine: 7 Drivers: 6 Aerodynamics: 7 Mechanical grip: 8 Reliability: 7 Pit Wall: 8 Rating: 41/60 Verdict: You sense much more positivity from Williams at the moment. The team are right up there at the front of the midfield. Would predict a higher championship position but feel Barrichello could be the only one scoring major points which ultimately could be costly.

Stormtrooper: Let me see your identification.Charm Person is some kind of magic, supernatural ability, Applied Phlebotinum or Charles Atlas Superpower (we don't know how that would work, so don't ask) that makes people want to do what you want them to do, especially the Weak-Willed. May or may not have obvious parallels with hypnosis, which is not really anything like this. It's distinct from Compelling Voice because Charm Person can be resisted or broken out of, leading to I Know You Are In There Somewhere Fight and Intrinsic Vow moments and such. A good way to differentiate between the two is that Charm Person can never be used to force someone to do anything that would violate the target's moral code (for example, attacking one's king). If the writers want to give The Hero mind control powers, this is probably what he'll get, because it's both the least powerful and least evil of all the versions of Mind Control. Named after the magic spell "Charm Person" from Dungeons & Dragons and its many, many variants. Do not confuse with The Charmer. The effects of more powerful Charm Person spells or abilities may be compared with Love Potions and Glamour. See also Hypnotic Eyes, for a frequent way this power is implemented. Compare Politeness Judo.

The nervous system extracts and encodes different features the visual world to accomplish specific tasks. Spotting a familiar face in a crowd requires different information than hitting a fastball or judging the ripeness of fruit from its color. Different "channels" of visual information emerge already at the retinal level and are then routed to distinct visual centers of the brain. We seek to understand how retinal cells and circuits process and filter visual information in specific channels, and how these signals are used by the brain to shape appropriate visual behaviors.
I am a 'lifer' at Brown, having done undergraduate and postdoctoral studies here before joining the faculty in 1985. I conduct basic research on the structure and function of the visual system and teach neuroanatomy and neurophysiology to undergraduate, graduate and medical students. My lab studies what the eye tells the brain. We focus on retinal neurons that send information directly to visual centers of the brain. There are roughly twenty types of these output cells, each with anatomical and physiological features matched to the requirements of specific visual behaviors. We recently discovered that some of them are true photoreceptors; they respond directly to light like rods and cones and synchronize the biological clock and constrict the pupil. We also study retinal output cells that stabilize our view of the world. We want to understand how these cells work and how their signals are used by the brain.
Research Description
The visual system of the brain is highly parallel in its architecture. This is clearly evident in the outputs of the retina, which arise from neurons called ganglion cells. Work in our lab has shown that mammalian retinas contain more than a dozen distinct types of ganglion cells. Each type appears to filter the retinal image in a unique way and to relay this processed signal to a specific set of targets in the brain. My students and I are working to understand the meaning of this parallel organization through electrophysiological and anatomical studies. We record from light-responsive ganglion cells in vitro using the whole-cell patch method. This allows us to correlate directly the visual response properties, intrinsic electrical behavior, synaptic pharmacology, dendritic morphology and axonal projections of single neurons. Other methods used in the lab include neuroanatomical tracing techniques, single-unit recording and immunohistochemistry. We seek to specify the total number of ganglion cell types, the distinguishing characteristics of each type, and the intraretinal mechanisms (structural, electrical, and synaptic) that shape their stimulus selectivities. Recent work in the lab has identified a bizarre new ganglion cell type that is also a photoreceptor, capable of responding to light even when it is synaptically uncoupled from conventional (rod and cone) photoreceptors. These ganglion cells appear to play a key role in resetting the biological clock. It is just this sort of link, between a specific cell type and a well-defined behavioral or perceptual function, that we seek to establish for the full range of ganglion cell types.
My research concerns the structural and functional organization of retinal ganglion cells, the output cells of the retina whose axons make up the optic nerve. Ganglion cells exhibit great diversity both in their morphology and in their responses to light stimuli. On this basis, they are divisible into a large number of types (>15). Each ganglion-cell type appears to send its outputs to a specific set of central visual nuclei. This suggests that ganglion cell heterogeneity has evolved to provide each visual center in the brain with pre-processed representations of the visual scene tailored to its specific functional requirements. Though the outline of this story has been appreciated for some time, it has received little systematic exploration. My laboratory is addressing in parallel three sets of related questions: 1) How many types of ganglion cells are there in a typical mammalian retina and what are their structural and functional characteristics? 2) What combination of synaptic networks and intrinsic membrane properties are responsible for the characteristic light responses of individual types? 3) What do the functional specializations of individual classes contribute to perceptual function or to visually mediated behavior? To pursue these questions, we label retinal ganglion cells by retrograde transport from the brain; analyze in vitro their light responses, intrinsic membrane properties and synaptic pharmacology using the whole-cell patch clamp method; and reveal their morphology with intracellular dyes.
Recently, we have discovered a novel ganglion cell in rat retina that is intrinsically photosensitive. These ganglion cells exhibit robust light responses even when all influences from classical photoreceptors (rods and cones) are blocked, either by applying pharmacological agents or by dissociating the ganglion cell from the retina. These photosensitive ganglion cells seem likely to serve as photoreceptors for the photic synchronization of circadian rhythms, the mechanism that allows us to overcome jet lag. They project to the circadian pacemaker of the brain, the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus. Their temporal kinetics, threshold, dynamic range, and spectral tuning all match known properties of the synchronization or "entrainment" mechanism. These photosensitive ganglion cells innervate various other brain targets, such as the midbrain pupillary control center, and apparently contribute to a host of behavioral responses to ambient lighting conditions. These findings help to explain why circadian and pupillary light responses persist in mammals, including humans, with profound disruption of rod and cone function. Ongoing experiments are designed to elucidate the phototransduction mechanism, including the identity of the photopigment and the nature of downstream signaling pathways. In other studies, we seek to provide a more detailed characterization of the photic responsiveness and both morphological and functional evidence concerning possible interactions with conventional rod- and cone-driven retinal circuits. These studies are of potential value in understanding and designing appropriate therapies for jet lag, the negative consequences of shift work, and seasonal affective disorder.

Karl Mayr, CEO and President of AXIS Re Europe, commented, "AXIS Re has identified Latin America as a major growth opportunity for property and casualty reinsurance. Having established a significant market position in the Latin American credit and bond markets over the last two years, it is a natural progression to add traditional property and casualty lines to our offerings and develop broad relationships in the region. Adding São Paulo as a hub to source property and casualty business for Brazil and the Southern Cone region is a logical step given the increasing importance of the Brazilian and regional economies."
AXIS Re Europe Latin American Property and Casualty business is led by Marketing Director Bruno Krenboeck, who is based in Zurich, Switzerland. Alain Derron, formerly based in Zurich as Vice President Latin America, with extensive experience in the Brazilian market, has relocated to São Paulo as the General Manager of AXIS Re Brazil. He will be supported by Jarbas Coimbra, Commercial Officer Credit & Bond for the Brazilian market.
In March 2011, AXIS Re Limited, an Irish operating subsidiary of AXIS Capital, was approved to operate under admitted reinsurer status in Brazil. AXIS Re Europe, based in Zurich, Switzerland, is a branch office of AXIS Re Limited.AXIS Capital is a Bermuda-based global provider of specialty lines insurance and treaty reinsurance with shareholders' equity at December 31, 2011 of $5.4 billion and locations in Bermuda, the United States, Europe, Singapore, Canada and Australia.

develop and maintain a results-oriented program with a focused evaluation culture.22
Effective oversight relies on appropriate funding. A data-driven program requires high quality data and systematic assessment. As noted above, sufficient resources are not currently available for these functions.
Increased funding is needed to provide effective oversight, including site visits, program review, systematic third-party assessments, and other necessary management activities.
To enhance program utilization, management, and evaluation, additional funds should be provided. There are three ways that this might be achieved:
Additional funds might be allocated internally, within the existing budgets of the services and agencies, as the Navy has done.
Funds might be drawn from the existing set-aside for the program to carry out these activities.
The set-aside for the program, currently at 2.5 percent of external research budgets, might be increased, with the goal of providing additional resources to maximize the program's return to the nation.
These recommended improvements should enable the NIH SBIR managers to address the four mandated congressional objectives in a more efficient and effective manner.
Possible areas of improvement and experimentation. The NRC study identified a number of areas where improvements in the program would make it significantly better. While some of these may require NIH-wide initiatives, others might be addressed initially through carefully designed and evaluated pilot programs. Such a capability would need to be developed, and could also be used to address some recent developments that have already occurred within the program. Key areas for potential improvement include:
Improving selection procedures. Chapter 5 of this report outlines a number of areas where the selection process could be improved. These include more attention to possible conflicts of interest and addressing difficulties in evaluating commercialization plans.23
Speeding cycle time. Fairly minimal management changes focused on reducing the cycle time for awards could substantially accelerate innovation.24
See Recommendation J in Chapter 2.
See Section 5.5.
See Recommendation H in Chapter 2.
