Bill Gates (the .001%) Joins the 99% for Robin Hood Tax
One of the world's richest and many of the poorest agree on something, but the Obama administration is holding out.
The world's second-richest man and a group of American nurses on the frontlines of the Occupy Wall Street protests came to the G20 summit in Cannes, France this week to advocate for the same thing.
Bill Gates came because French President Nicolas Sarkozy asked him to give G20 leaders recommendations on how to raise funds to meet the needs of the world's poorest. Among Gates' proposals: a small tax on trades of stocks, derivatives, and other financial instruments, also known as a financial transactions tax (FTT), Wall Street speculation tax, or the Robin Hood tax.
According to an advance copy of Gates's report, "FTTs already exist in many countries, where they generate significant revenue, so they are clearly technically feasible. According to the IMF, 15 G20 countries have some form of securities transaction tax. In the seven countries where the IMF estimates revenue, these taxes raise an estimated $15 billion per year."
"It is very plausible that certain kinds of FTTs could work," Gates told the Guardian. "I am lending some credibility to that. This money could be well spent and make a difference."
Gates has a net worth of $59 billion. So forget the 1 percent, he'd be in what, the top 0.001 percent? Meanwhile, representatives of the 99 percent were outside the summit security zone, plugging the same idea.
National Nurses United, the largest union representing U.S. nurses, came to France from the Occupy Wall Street protests across the United States where they have been providing first aid for the encampments. In Cannes, they dressed in their scrubs and joined nurses from Australia, France, Ireland, and Korea. This global group then administered an FTT saline drip to an ailing world economy — represented by a man painted in full body art as the Earth.
"The economic decline is literally making our patients sick," said one of the U.S. nurses. "We see more and more children with conditions related to poor nutrition and stress." The solution, according to the nurses, is a Wall Street tax that could generate the revenues needed to address human needs.
Bill Nighy, an actor famous for his roles in "Love, Actually" and other British films, jumped right into the world economy's hospital bed and posed for photos. "People around the world are dying of illnesses that should have been eliminated hundreds of years ago," Nighy said, noting that a new Wall Street tax could help raise the money required to stop those scourges.
One of his contributions to the campaign for such a tax in the UK was a video that went viral, in which he plays a banker trying to argue against the idea. Ultimately, his character can't find a good reason why not to raise huge amounts of money for the things people need through a tiny tax on financial transactions.
Back inside the summit venue, there's a frenzy of last-minute lobbying going on to try to line up a group of G20 governments to launch a "coalition of the willing on FTT." The Obama administration isn't expected to be on the list.
But RoseAnn DeMoro, National Nurses United's executive director, said, "Nurses don't give up on people and they won't give up on this." The union also spearheaded a rally in Washington, DC today, with more than a thousand nurses and their allies targeting opponents of the Wall Street tax in the Treasury Department and Congress.

Advances in genetics have made several extinct species able to return to the living. Scientists say they want to bring 24 species of extinct animals back to life, the flightless, humorous dodo bird among them. They say to put thoughts of "Jurassic Park" out of the public's mind, however. They've deemed dinosaur DNA as just too old.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
3/26/2013 (1 year ago)
Published in Technology
Keywords: De-extinction, extinct species, dods, dinosaurs, DNA, Jurassic Park
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The so called 'de-extinction' of a number of species was discussed at a TEDx conference in Washington D.C. sponsored by National Geographic. Species included the dodo bird, the Carolina Parakeet and the Quagga, a plains zebra which once lived in South Africa. The last Quagga was shot in 1870 and the last in captivity died in 1883.
Panels discussed the ethics of bringing them back to life. Chief among the topics was whether the species were desirable, and if they held an important ecological function or if they were beloved by humans.
Scientists also discussed if they were practical choices, considering whether the species would be able to be reintroduced into the world, taking into account the reasons for extinction were in the first place.
As displayed in the most recent article of National Geographic, de-extinction works by taking old DNA samples and reassembling them into a full genome. This is then injected into embryonic cells which have had their own DNA taken out, and a suitable living surrogate is found to give birth.
It's been done before. A team of scientists from France and Spain brought back an extinct wild goat 10 years ago, but the animal only lived for 10 minutes.
De-extinction raises a number of ethical and logistical questions, including how scientists can get a usable DNA sample from an extinct animal, and also whether they should.
One need only look to that popular 1993 science-fiction film, "Jurassic Park." An adaptation of Michael Crichton's best seller, Steven Spielberg's film told about scientists who use dinosaur DNA taken from a mosquito preserved in amber to clone the animals and create a theme park. The resulting chaos proved that man and dinosaur should not co-exist.
Controversial Australian billionaire, mining magnate Clive Palmer was believed to be drawing up secret plans for a real life Jurassic Park. Palmer has already embarked on a project to rebuild the Titanic, was rumored to be working with the team who created Dolly the sheep.
It was said the park would be based at Palmer's super resort in Coolum.

Charges Dropped Against Man Fighting Courthouse Church Directory
An Athens man arrested for placing First Amendment stickers over a church directory on a county courthouse has been cleared of the criminal mischief charge against him.
If the Columbus Symphony Orchestra hopes to resurrect itself for a fall season, it might have to do so without funding from the Greater Columbus Arts Council.
A grants committee at the Greater Columbus Arts Council has recommended against funding the Columbus Symphony Orchestra's up-coming season which had already been in doubt. Contract talks between the orchestra's board and the musicians union broke down earlier this month; the board telling players it had no money to pay them after the end of May. Arts Council President Bryan Knicely says the grant committee's recommendation will be discussed during a public meeting May 27th.
"The grants committee recommended the symphony not receive general operating support because they felt the symphony would not be here after June 1st. The full board has to review that recommendation and make a decision based on what they know at the time."
Knicely says a whole host of scenarios could mean the financially troubled Orchestra might still receive funding in the future.
"The symphony could have a contract or term paper in place by May 27th; that's one scenario which would mean they could potentially come back for operating support. Another scenario: they don't have a contract in place and they don't get operating support but they reorganize somehow and they come back for project support," Knicely says.
Last year the Greater Columbus Arts Council granted $260,000 to the CSO. The orchestra's budget for the current season is $13.5 million.

Dear John(That is an awful way to start a letter) I am also a descendant of Issac & John J. My family is that of son Issac Wesley who stayed in Haywood Co TN with several of the family while others when to TX. Our family says that John J is buried in the Dancyville United Meth Cem in the community of Dancyville on Hwy 76 between Brown-sville & Somerville TN in Haywood Co TN. We are pretty sure that Isabella is not bur there - possibly in Dickson Co where they made a stop. The Coppedges had a land grant. We are not sure if it was theirs by right of service in the Wars or that they bought it from someone else. A cousin Dorothy Moore & her family still own part of that land (she also has John J's Bible). My uncle has a small part of the land but it was sold then rebought so we can't claim con- tinuous ownership. I know alot abt the Haywood Co con- nections plus several years ago some of the TX Coppedges got in touch with is. Last year at the Homecoming of the Dancyville Church(possibly started by John J(a lay Meth minister)we have 12 of the TX folks in attendance including David Williamson(firstname.lastname@example.com) a Meth minister & descendant. Another decendant John L Daniel (email@example.com) has done alot of research & published a booklet.

Prolonged storage in light can cause uncooked potatoes to turn green. Green potatoes may contain a substance called solanine, which can have a bitter flavor and can be toxic. If you've purchased potatoes that have turned green, be sure to trim off the green areas before using. To prevent potatoes from greening, they should be stored in a dark, cool place that is well ventilated. Such storage will prevent potatoes from "sprouting," too, but avoid storing potatoes with onions. Always trim sprouts before cooking potatoes. Once cut, uncooked potatoes can take on bluish or dark tints. Potatoes that become discolored in this way are safe to eat, and the color usually disappears when the potato is cooked. To prevent cut potatoes from discoloring, immerse them in cold water until ready to use, for up to two hours. However, extended storage in cold water is not recommended as it can result in loss of some of the potatoes' water-soluble nutrients. Cooked potatoes are subject to discoloration, too. Sometimes, a gray-blue or blackish area develops as the cooked potato cools. This is harmless, and any discolored area can simply be cut away.

Travel Blogs from Hot Springs
Another beautiful day!
We drove about 400 miles today. A little further than we had wanted, but we relaxed when we arrived. We are in a very nice RV park, Arkadelphia RV Park. We have driven through much farmland. Soybeans, corn and now some cotton fields. Farmers are praying for dry weather and wind to dry out their fields. The further south we came, the fields are drying enough and the farmers are busy with their ...
A Quick Sisters Visit
... 5 minutes apart from our respective travels...we from Branson, MO and they from Dallas!
After setting up our camps, Barbie and Aldon joined us for BBQ rib dinner. The weather was perfect, the bugs stayed away and we ended our gab fest about 11 PM.
Thursday, October 2nd, - Hot Springs, AR - Lake Catherine State Park
Both camps enjoyed a lazy get up. Lots more sharing and caring and a nice walk around ...
Friends and Fun - and an extended stay!
... we leave here, and looking forward to that.
Still doing a lot of online reviewing of motorhomes for sale - wondering what awaits us once we get to Texas!
Per Shanna Wimpee - next time we're here we should check out Lake Ouachita State Park - full hookups, 50 amp power, right on the lake (Site 25. Loop A.), current price $30/night. We'll take a ride out and check that out one day, too, as long as we're here!
Day 3 Clinton's Presidential Library
Went to Bill Clinton's Presidential Library & Museum today. It is an amazing Presidential Center on about 35 acres. It includes the library, a 20,000 square foot dramatic glass structure overlooking the Arkansas River, a park area that has the Clinton Park Bridge and a separate building which is the Clinton School of Pubic Policy, affiliated with the University of Arkansas.

Enjoyed Arkansas; now back to Florida
Sure enjoyed Arkansas--stunning scenery with the mountains, forests, rivers, lakes, and fabulous state parks.
Loved wandering through the Ozarks meeting so many friendly people.
Time to head back to Florida, through Mississippi and Georgia doing very little sightseeing on the way. Chores to get done before going to the ...

The Oregon Medical Marijuana Dispensary Program website was busy Monday.
Tom Burns, Director of Pharmacy Programs for the Oregon Health Authority, is in charge of rolling out the program statewide. He said 289 people applied to open a dispensary on their website.
He also said 200 of those applications came in the first 20 minutes. People could begin applying to open a dispensary at 8:30 Monday morning.
"That says to me that a lot of people wanted to get in very early because they were worried they might have some competitors," said Burns.
Breaking down how many applications came from which counties
He said most of the applications came from larger urban areas. According to burns, 18 applications were received from the greater Jackson County area, with less than 10 each from Josephine and Klamath counties.
Here are the numbers of applications from other counties outside of Southern Oregon:
Multnomah - 135
Lane - 41
Deschutes - 17
Lincoln - 11
Marion - 11
Overall, there were 20 counties with fewer than 10 applications and 10 counties with no applications submitted. So far, he said their website is busy, but holding up well.
When potential dispensary owners might hear back
He also said licenses could be issued, at the very earliest by the end of next week or the beginning of the week of March 17th.
Of course he said that doesn't mean all 289 people would get a license or hear back at that time since going over applications is a very long process to complete. Burns said licenses will go out in groups of five to ten every day.
According to Burns the OHA has to make sure the dispensary is not owned by someone with a drug conviction or located within 1000ft of a school or another dispensary.
Establishments already operating as a dispensary in Oregon will presumably have less work to do in order to begin operating. Burns said there needs to be certain infrastructure in place for security purposes.
60-day provisional license available for brand new dispensaries
The process could be a little different for brand new dispensaries.
"We can issue a 60-day provisional license which holds their place for 60-days while they do the buildout. At the end of 60 days, if they're not done then the application will be deemed denied and we'll move onto the next person," said Burns.
But what should dispensaries that are already operating do while they wait for the green light?
"That's a business decision on their part. We do not intend to take any actions against a dispensary until we have approved all the applications we have, at which point we will do onsite inspections of those dispensaries," Burns said.
If in the course of those inspections, they learn of unlicensed dispensaries, Burns said they can give out civil penalties or contact local law enforcement.

NGCOA Canada Property Tax Committee
Recap of Committee Discussions
The Joint NGCOA Canada/MPAC Property Tax Committee held a scheduled meeting on November 19th to cooperatively establish the process for determining assessment values for the next taxation cycle (2017-2020) and to review and evaluate 2013 financial data entered into MPAC's system to date. MPAC is scheduled to present to the Joint Committee by January 20, 2015, a proposal for golf course assessment values for the next taxation cycle (2017-20) with a meeting of the Joint Committee in early February to review. The proposal will utilize the the 2013 valuation data, being the most current data available for now. 2014 information once entered will then be used to test the conclusions reached during January discussions. For more information please contact Mike Bell, Regional Director Central Ontario Chapter at 866-626-4262 ext 43.
Gas Tax Refunds
submit your refund application
All Ontario golf courses can apply for a gas tax refund. Did you also know that you are able to apply for the refund within 4 years from the date that the tax was paid? Since the refundable tax for unleaded fuel is currently 14.7 cents/litre, the tax refund can be significant for your course. For more information, please click here. It is important to note that the refund can only be obtained through submission of the refund application.
The NAGA ON Executive Committee members include:
• Steve Carroll, Golf Association of Ontario
• Marcel Bergstein, Canadian Society of Club Managers – Ontario Branch (AGM, Toronto Hunt Club)

Priority asks will be on the IPM Accreditation Legislation (specifically elimination of the Public Presentations component) & reduction of Excessive Government Red Tape (for small business). For more information, please visit the new website launched Fall 2013: http://ontario.canadagolfs.ca.
IPM Accreditation
Public Meeting Survey
As part of the Ministry of the Environment's (MoE) pesticide usage requirements, all Ontario golf courses have now held their 2013 annual public meetings. Many of you continue to confirm that the process is very time consuming, cumbersome, expensive, and poorly attended. To request changes to the public meeting requirement, NAGA Ontario will continue petitioning the MoE. (Note: The IPM Council of Canada is not involved in this process). Supported industry experience is vital to this effort. Please go to the OGSA website and click on LINK TO PUBLIC MEETING SURVEY, or you can go directly to the survey by clicking here. Completing the survey will provide NAGA Ontario with information necessary to convince the MoE that changes need to be made to the public meeting requirement.
Advocacy is an integral part of your Association's dedication to provide our members with the business support necessary to develop initiatives and programs within an effective networking environment to enable you to operate more efficient and profitable golf facilities.
Renewing your NGCOA Canada membership is the single most cost efficient and effective way to ensure a healthy, viable golf industry.

BMO Harris Bradley Center, Milwaukee, WI
After opening a four-game trip with victories over two teams near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, the Phoenix Suns now hope to handle the worst team in the East before facing its best.
The Suns can match a season high with their third straight road victory by handing the lowly Bucks a fourth consecutive loss Wednesday night.
One night after rallying from an 18-point halftime deficit to beat Cleveland, Phoenix (26-18) led wire-to-wire in a 124-113 victory over Philadelphia on Monday. Gerald Green scored a season-high 30 as the Suns shot 53.8 percent to surpass their win total from 2012-13 and match a season high for points against the last-place team in the Atlantic Division.
"We were just trying to pick up where we left off in the second half (at Cleveland)," said Green, who totaled 20 points in the previous two games. "We just told ourselves, we wanted to start off quicker than we have the last few games."
Winners of four of five, the Suns blocked a season-high 12 shots and overcame 20 turnovers by forcing the 76ers into 21.
"Sometimes the guys come out and they're tired or don't have the energy," said coach Jeff Hornacek, whose team is 11-11 on the road. "We had a lot of energy."
Before facing Indiana to conclude the trip Thursday, Hornacek hopes the energy level remains high for another favorable matchup. Milwaukee (8-36) has the league's worst record and has averaged 83.7 points in dropping three straight by a margin of 22.6 per game.
The Suns avoided a third consecutive loss in this series with a 116-100 home victory Jan. 4. Green scored 24 and Channing Frye added 22 as Phoenix overcame Milwaukee's season-high 54.4 percent shooting effort by scoring 38 points off 26 turnovers.
Frye scored seven at Philadelphia, but he's averaged 17.2 points in his last five against the Bucks.
Despite falling 108-99 at the Bradley Center last season, the Suns have won 16 of 22 at Milwaukee.
The Bucks dropped to 4-17 at home with a 114-86 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday. Though Milwaukee showed more energy two nights after coach Larry Drew challenged his players' lackadaisical effort during a 112-87 home defeat to Atlanta, the Bucks shot 38.2 percent and couldn't recover from the Clippers' 21-2 second-quarter run.
"We can look at this and feel sorry for ourselves, but we're still doing something we enjoy doing," Drew said. "It's not a fun time, but there are certainly worse situations to be in. I will do all I can to roll up my sleeves and get the guys ready for our next game."
Ersan Ilyasova had a team-high 16 points for the Bucks, who hope to have the underachieving O.J. Mayo and Larry Sanders back after illness kept both out of the lineup for the second time in less than a week.
Mayo, the Bucks' most notable offseason acquisition, has totaled 25 points on 10-of-35 shooting in his last six games. However, he shot 7 of 11 and hit all but one of his five 3-point attempts while scoring 20 at Phoenix this month.
Brandon Knight had 25 points Jan. 4, but the Bucks' leader at 15.8 points per game was held to nine and 3-of-12 shooting while missing all five 3s on Monday.

This excerpt from Lonely Planet's Ireland guide provides a selection of travel literature to enhance your trip.
Travel in Ireland seems to inspire writers, some of whom seem obsessed with using Guinness as a metaphor for Irish life. As irritating as that is to the Irish and anyone else with an aversion to bad metaphors, some manage the job with cleverness and humour.
Pin this image Ireland – In a Glass of Its Own by Peter Biddlecombe is a hilarious trip around Ireland, based on the premise that the 32 counties can be said to represent the constituent parts of a pint of the black stuff.
Pin this image Pint-Sized Ireland by Evan McHugh is the story of the ultimate Aussie pilgrimage: a journey the length and breadth of Ireland to find the perfect pint. The entertaining means do justify the ridiculous ends.
Pin this image McCarthy's Bar has sold millions of copies thanks to the colourful account of author Pete McCarthy's attempt to rediscover Ireland by having a pint in every pub that bears his name. His follow-up, The Road to McCarthy, is a look at the Irish diaspora.
Pin this image Silver Linings by Martin Fletcher is a compelling portrait of Northern Ireland at odds with its bruised and tarnished image as a war-scarred region. Northerners on both sides of the divide are friendly, funny and as welcoming as anyone else on the island.
Pin this image Vitali's Ireland by Vitali Vitaliev is a minutely observed account of 21stcentury Ireland, contrasted with the country a century earlier: the country appears to have changed beyond all recognition, but upon close inspection, much remains the same – for good and ill!
Pin this image A Secret Map of Ireland is Rosita Boland's brilliantly insightful tale of her travels across the 32 counties, uncovering stories, myths and fascinating details about the counties, towns and villages she comes across.
Pin this image The Oxford Illustrated Literary Guide to Great Britain and Ireland traces the movements of famous writers who have immortalised various towns and villages in Ireland.
Pin this image The Height of Nonsense by Paul Clements is a fascinating story of Irish quirks, eccentrics and oddities, and travelling the GMRs (Great Mountain Roads) in search of the truth about druids, banshees, highwaymen and loose women.

Can Modify an Edge Property (a Node Name, a Property Name, a New Property Value)�Determine if the value of the named property of the named edge can be changed to the specified new property value. This function returns a true or false answer. Exemplary OPG Application Development System (OPGADS) Creation Process The following is a description of an exemplary process for creating an OPGADS, such system having been defined and described above. Included is one embodiment of this process, others are also possible. Assuming the existence of an embodiment of an OPG System 5 of which the OPGADS is to become a part, an initial set of hardware/operating system platforms, programming frameworks, database and/or file systems and display media with which to build and run the OPGADS system are chosen. These items selected must be the same as or compatible with that used to build the OPG system embodiment. In one exemplary embodiment, the Windows XP operating system, running on Intel based computer hardware is utilized. In addition, the Java programming language from Sun Microsystems, the Eclipse Tools Platform from the Eclipse Foundation, the GEF and Draw2D framework from the Eclipse Foundation, the Jakarta Struts framework, Java Server Pages (JSP) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are also utilized to develop the OPGADS system. This exemplary embodiment will execute, with no programming changes, on a hardware platform that is executing Windows XP, Linux, Solaris 8, AIX, HP-UX, and MAC-OSX operating systems. Note that the above operating systems, application platforms and programming languages tools represent just one possible configuration of development and operational systems that can be used to create and run exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Using the summary and description of the invention above, along with the accompanying figures, the three major software components of the OPGADS can be implemented for exemplary embodiments as described in the following paragraphs. Other implementations are also possible. An OPGAPI 3 should be implemented first since it is needed to interface the OPGAE 2 to the OPG System 5. To do this, one or more classes and appropriate class hierarchies are defined that will encompass the functionality of the GT 43. To implement the OPGAE 2, three groups of classes representing the model, view and controller elements based on the GEF and Draw2D frameworks are defined. The OPGAV 29 component is represented by the Figure class in The OPGADS controller component is implemented with four sets of classes: Editor, EditPart, EditPolicy and Command. In exemplary embodiments there is a single Editor class and there are five EditPart classes: DataPart, DataArrayPart, StructuredDataPart, StructuredDataArrayPart and StructuredOperationPart. In addition, there are three EditPolicy classes: ElementComponentEditPolicy, ElementContainerEditPolicy and ElementXYLayoutEditPolicy. Further, there are five Command classes: AddCommand, ConnectionCommand, CreateCommand, DeleteCommand and SetConstraintCommand. The Model component is implemented with two sets of classes: GraphicalModel and OPGModel. There are five GraphicModel classes: Data, DataArray, StructuredData, StructuredDataArray, StructuredOperation classes. There are three OPGModel classes: NetworkNode, NetworkLink and UserNetwork. In exemplary embodiments, and as described previously, the OPGAWE 4 is implemented as an extension to the OPGACV. This facilitates interfacing directly with running OPG programs. The editor functionality of the OPGAWE 4 is implemented by an editor class that is an extension of the session action class of the OPGACV. The editor tool bar is implemented with CSS style sheets. The application data display JSP's and CSS style sheets of the OPGACV are utilized to display the application's data in the WYSIWYG editor of the OPGAWE 4. Finally, the OPG feature that enables users to define an application frame within an OPG application window can be implemented, in an exemplary embodiment, as follows. A frame definition option is required in the OPGAWE 4 to define a frame within a window. The user will define a file type, which implies an application. At run-time, the user starts the application by clicking on the frame, which will cause the Internet Explorer browser to start the application. When the user finishes with the program, the user can save an updated file in the OPG database at a temporary location. OPG classes and DGI functions can be implemented to perform these functions. In addition, a small Java program must be implemented to support this feature. The program will run on its own thread and will periodically look for instructions in a special OPG location that defines a user request to save application changes. When it finds such an instruction, it moves the associated file from its local OPG location to its original source location. Object Process Graph Description OPG 37 is the definition component of the OPG System 5, a complete application development and execution environment. Other components include a DGI that interprets or executes applications defined by OPGs 37 and a graphical user interface for creating and modifying OPGs 37. Exemplary embodiments of the OPG may be considered a computer language (it is Turing complete) that is interpreted as the program is executed. An OPG 37 is stored in transient and persistent computer memory. An OPG 37 can hold any data structure, which includes, but is not limited to: relational tables, hierarchical tables, n-dimensional data arrays, spreadsheets, graphical models and 3-D physical models. These data structures are not stored as blobs, which is common in relational database systems, but in special OPG structures that reflect their original structure and internal relationships. OPG process and control structures provide control over the order and timing of persistent and transient data validation, transformation and display within an application. OPG structures can also define mathematical formulas, regular expressions (in the case of textual data or mixed quantitative and textual data) and complete algorithms. An application's OPG 37 can be rendered on a computer terminal or static output medium, e.g. paper. OPG data, process and control structures displayed on an interactive medium can be edited. Unlike traditional software development systems, editing an application's OPG 37 does not generate code that must be compiled and installed. Instead, changes are made and take affect immediately. Changes can even be made while the DGI is interpreting (running the application). The ability to safely change an application at any time is desired for rapid development and the long-term maintenance of large, complex enterprise-wide application systems. All application execution state information in an OPG 37 is held in application state objects. The DGI acts on the OPG 37 by changing the application state information it holds. Application state information can include any persistent data object. A DGI may operate on multiple application states concurrently, merging or splitting state information between combinations of application state objects. An OPG 37 maintains audit trail information for all persistent and transient data changes in an application�at the primitive data level. Audit trail information is readily available for display on a user interface, via display controls or for further update and manipulation in an application's process and data flows. Audit information defining changes made in long and short transactions is maintained and tracked for all changes to the persistent data of an application. Long transactions enable the system to organize, control and track changes to all persistent data. Such changes can take place over an extended period of time (days or weeks) over many work sessions. Short transactions, on the other hand, are made during a single user session or interaction with the system. Long and short transaction information is immediately available for manipulation and display within the application, via a system's graphical user interfaces. Tracking long transactions also facilitates rollbacks to any point in a transaction and deletions of a transaction (with audit trails) are automatically available via the application interface. Control of access to all functionality and data within the application by users is available through the system interface. This includes separate access rights (read, write, rollback) for each primitive data item defined as part of an application for each user. In addition to data entered or changed via a user interface, an embodiment of the system also accepts input data to application processes in any digital format from other systems. Exemplary embodiments include a GUI. A GUI can enable a user to specify the format of all input that is then automatically parsed and used to update an application�adding to or modifying persistent data in the database or transient data in the application or display interfaces�at any point in the application process. Output data may likewise be created in any format from any point in an application (for persistent or transient data), using the inverse of the above process in various embodiments. In some embodiments, external databases, such as relational databases, may be registered with an application, and all persistent data within the application may be stored in or retrieved from such databases. Embodiments of the OPG 37 component of exemplary embodiments extend the basic functionality of traditional graph object-oriented databases. Embodiments of the present invention synthesize the functionality of dynamic process elements and graph object oriented databases into a single integrated system, which makes it possible to rapidly create complete, complex enterprise wide applications without a traditional programming language. An OPG 37 is directly and dynamically interpreted, therefore no code generation is required. The ease of changing an OPG 37 and the immediate feedback resulting from changes greatly simplifies maintaining and changing OPG based applications. Although the present invention has been described in considerable detail with reference to certain embodiments, other embodiments are possible. For example, different operating systems, programming languages, and software architectures may be used to practice embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, the spirit and scope of the appended claims should not be limited to the description of the embodiments contained herein. As described above, the embodiments of the invention may be embodied in the form of hardware, software, firmware, or any processes and/or apparatuses for practicing the embodiments. Embodiments of the invention may also be embodied in the form of computer program code containing instructions embodied in tangible media, such as floppy diskettes, CD-ROMs, hard drives, or any other computer-readable storage medium, wherein, when the computer program code is loaded into and executed by a computer, the computer becomes an apparatus for practicing the invention. The present invention can also be embodied in the form of computer program code, for example, whether stored in a storage medium, loaded into and/or executed by a computer, or transmitted over some transmission medium, such as over electrical wiring or cabling, through fiber optics, or via electromagnetic radiation, wherein, when the computer program code is loaded into and executed by a computer, the computer becomes an apparatus for practicing the invention. When implemented on a general-purpose microprocessor, the computer program code segments configure the microprocessor to create specific logic circuits. While the invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the invention without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiment disclosed as the best mode contemplated for carrying out this invention, but that the invention will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims. Moreover, the use of the terms first, second, etc. do not denote any order or importance, but rather the terms first, second, etc. are used to distinguish one element from another. Referenced by

Abstract: Tobacco smoking is a growing problem throughout Latin American countries, especially in underdeveloped countries where poverty and lack of education about the dangers of smoking may make people more susceptible to becoming smokers. Moreover, the economies of many Latin American countries have become dependent on the production of tobacco. Furthermore, because of the associated promotion of tobacco, smoking has integrated into many Latin American cultures. Nevertheless, the harmful health effects of tobacco use are well documented, including greatly increased risks of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, and many forms of cancer. The medical costs associated with treating these diseases far outweigh the economic benefits of producing and selling this deadly crop. To control the tobacco pandemic in Latin American countries, nicotine addiction must be recognized and treated as a disease. Governments, both national and local, need to be more involved in enacting anti-smoking policies such as higher tobacco taxation, control of illegal tobacco smuggling, and reimbursement of medical smoking cessation interventions. The training of health professions in the area of nicotine addiction must also be improved, so that they may better assist smokers in their quit attempts and advise patients on, and prescribe, effective smoking cessation pharmacotherapies.

Tributes mark marathon attack anniversaryBy DENISE LAVOIE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | April 16,2014AP Photo
Boston Marathon bombing survivor Erika Brannock, from the Baltimore area, and her mother, Carol Downing, right, walk across the marathon finish line after a ceremony Tuesday in Boston.BOSTON Survivors, first responders and family members of those killed in the Boston Marathon bombing marked the anniversary Tuesday with tributes that combined sorrow over the loss of innocent victims with pride over the citys resilience in the face of a terror attack.
This day will always be hard, but this place will always be strong, former Mayor Thomas Menino told an invitation-only audience of about 2,500 people at the Hynes Convention Center, not far from the finish line where three people died and more than 260 others were injured a year ago.
Vice President Joe Biden, who attended the ceremony, said the courage shown by survivors and those who lost loved ones is an inspiration for other Americans dealing with loss and tragedy.
You have become the face of Americas resolve, he said.
Biden also praised the 36,000 runners who plan to run the marathon next week, saying they will send a message to terrorists.
America will never, ever, ever stand down, he said, to loud applause. We own the finish line.
In Washington, President Barack Obama was observing the anniversary with a private moment of silence at the White House.
Today, we recognize the incredible courage and leadership of so many Bostonians in the wake of unspeakable tragedy, Obama said in a statement. And we offer our deepest gratitude to the courageous firefighters, police officers, medical professionals, runners and spectators who, in an instant, displayed the spirit Boston was built on perseverance, freedom and love.
Obama said this years race, scheduled for Monday, will show the world the meaning of Boston Strong as a city chooses to run again.
Authorities say two ethnic Chechen brothers who lived in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan and the Dagestan region of Russia planned and orchestrated the twin bombings near the marathon finish line on April 15, 2013.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died after a shootout with police days after the bombings. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 20, has pleaded not guilty to federal charges and is awaiting a trial in which he faces a possible death sentence. Prosecutors say the brothers also killed MIT police Officer Sean Collier days after the bombings in an attempt to steal his gun.
Prosecutors have said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev left a hand-scrawled confession condemning U.S. actions in Muslim countries on the inside wall of a boat in which he was found hiding following the police shootout.
At the tribute, several survivors of the bombing alluded to their injuries but focused on the strength theyve drawn from fellow survivors, first responders, doctors, nurses and strangers who have offered them support.
We should never have met this way, but we are so grateful for each other, said Patrick Downes, a newlywed who was injured along with his wife. Each lost a left leg below the knee in the bombings.
Downes described Boston Strong, the slogan coined after the attack, as a movement that symbolizes the citys determination to recover. He called the people who died our guardian angels.
We will carry them in our hearts, he said.
Downes said the city Monday will show the world what Boston represents. He added, For our guardian angels, let them hear us roar.
Adrianne Haslet-Davis, a ballroom dancer who lost her left leg below the knee and has recently returned to performing on a prosthetic leg, said shes learned over the last year that no milestone is too small to celebrate, including walking into a nonhandicapped bathroom stall for the first time and doing a happy dance.
Gov. Deval Patrick spoke of how the attack has drawn people closer.
There are no strangers here, he repeated throughout his speech.
Carlos Arredondo, the cowboy hat-wearing spectator who was hailed as a hero for helping the wounded after the bombings, said he went to the tribute ceremony to support survivors and their families.
You can see how the whole community gathered together to support them and remember, Arredondo said.
After the tributes, many of those in attendance walked in the rain to the finish line for a moment of silence that coincided with the time when the bombs went off. Bells rang, and a flag was raised by transit agency police Officer Richard Donohue, who was badly injured during a shootout with the bombing suspects.
Aleksander Jonca wore a blue windbreaker from last years race, which he was unable to finish because of the bombings. Hes running again this year, with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
All of us have a different path to heal, and I think today is a good way to do that together and honor the survivors, Jonca said.
Earlier in the day, a wreath-laying ceremony drew the families of the three people killed Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell and Lu Lingzi and Colliers relatives.

The shorts are really sweating now. You see AOL cannot drop below 118 because too many people shorted at 117 and below. The people who control the stock know they can wait the shorts out forever. HA ! HA ! HA ! Shorts must decide whether to cover now and take a small loss or wait a few days and take a huge loss when AOL shoots to 130. Dont get your hopes up shorts, you will never see 117 again!
I'm still bettin' $75 (post) on 4/1, but I'll admit it may be a little on the high side. I'LL BET YOU THIS, THOUGH, ON 4/1, THE STOCK WILL BE AS HIGH AS, OR HIGHER THAN TODAY'S CLOSE)(Let's see... up 3 1/16 and climbin', while NASDAQ is flat... Hmmmmmmmm..... seems to be some continuing up^ pressure......... perhaps ataihu has the answers)? (teehee, teehee)...
I'm still bettin' $75 (post) on 4/1, but I'll admit it may be a little on the high side. I'LL BET YOU THIS, THOUGH, ON 4/1, THE STOCK WILL BE AS HIGH AS, OR HIGHER THAN TODAY'S CLOSE)(Let's see... up 3 1/16, while NASDAQ is flat... Hmmmmmmmm..... seems to be some continuing up pressure.......... perhaps ataihu has the answers)?
Seems to me that when I read that commentary, it is extremely pessimistic for any AOL future L/T increase.That bodes well for the buddha's, dooms, aitahu, and my AOL puts for July!And I can do several things at the same time...rake with the left and type with the right!I'll follow buddha's principles:Predictions (all post-split prices):-------------------------------------March 31, 98 $50 maxApril 98 $45 maxJune 98 $35 maxJuly 98 $30 max
The when will be by april 1. Read my analyis again.Severity will be to two digits...read my last 5-10 posts...i have NEVER wavered. The 10, 30 week moving average is @ 98.I think that when the tide swings it WILL be overnight...because it will be on a simultaneous downgrade for several firms... (check out oxford health, and netscape when they tanked)I think the stock will go below 100 on the day it is downgraded, and I believe this will happen by 4/1So lets see....probably by early to mid march the stock will see the downside of just under 95 (pre-split)It WILL happen by 4/1
i agree but i still can't believe these idiots keep coming on cnbc pounding the table on aol!? up 2 7/8? why? the key iswatching block trades and institutional ownership. if it keeps going down this stock is priming for a fall. budda makes a lot ofsense BUT the market does not right now. so we can only watch for clues to what will burst this bloated balloon. i have to admit iam stunned it has held the 120 range. one thing for sure the bears on this post sound much more mature and relaxed then the"true believers". and i don't think we get enough opinions from fletch.!
... one of your congregation (Buddha) shows some signs of repent and maybe even rebirth? By the way, where are those SPECIFICE time and decline predictions? By the way 2 - thought you had "wreckage and damage" to attend to? (I'm sure you do, as all you nayer's have).
I like your general explanation, and only disagree with one thing... WHEN this MOMENTUM stock starts to lose steam, and it will, IT WILL NOT, I REPEAT NOT, OCCUR OVERNIGHT; IN A WEEK, OR A MONTH! It WILL be a flattening over time, then, WHEN it's gonna' reverse, it'll start a GRADUAL reversal decline! This will give SAVVY longers plenty of time to retreat VERY PROFITABLY, and, it'll most likely not provide put'rs the kind of RAPID REVERSAL they're gonna' need to recover their huge losses (for those who indeed had the balls to bet against this train - I suspect most of the nayer posters on this board do not walk-their-talk)!If you disagree with me, PLEASE, reply with your reversal predictions WITH MORE SPECIFICS (WHEN? SEVERITY?). Good Luck!
Very insightful commentary!Wonder if the longs can read the entire passage to gain better understanding?I bot real cheap July 98 puts when aol hit $117!Plenty of time and I agree, april and july areas are key, and I have NO DOUBT this piece of junk will make us wealthier on the put side!whadya say dooms?
... it's tough duty, but somebody's gotta do it. Notice how quiet it is today now that it opened higher and is going higher? (up 2 5/16 - teehee, teehee)... The great thing about being a longer here is, it's up 9 out of 10 days, so we've got a hell of a lot more ammo for dueling with our unarmed adversaries! Nayers' - again - when, specifically, is the stock gonna' tank, and how much, specifically over what, specifically, period of time? COME BACK?Good Fortune, Row, my man... Take the watch... I'm gettin' bored by nayer absence...
It'l close lower 119 tonight.
God, that was a gutsy prediction; and for the first time on this board, you were right, by 1/16th! Congratulations, oh soothsayer! This beat the shit out of your $70 on 2/7! (teehee).

One must to do in Rome is to put your hand in the Bocca della Verita (Mouth of Truth). The Bocca della Verita is located on a wall at Santa Maria in Cosmedin (one of the finest medieval churches in Rome). Legend has it that if you put your right hand into the mouth while telling a lie, it will snap shut. It was made famous in the movie -Roman Holiday.
Santa Maria in Cosmedin was built over the remains of some Roman buildings in the 6th Century. It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and was originally cared for by Greek monks (the term "cosmedin" derives from the Greek word for "adorn"). It is well known by its tall and beautiful bell tower, but even more so by the Mouth of Truth.
Santa Maria is located on Via dei Cerchi across the street from the Temple of Vesta.
