Portugal Approves Open Standards Adoption Proposal
"Portuguese Association of Open Source Software Enterprises, supports this initiative unequivocally." - ESOP Press Release
The Portuguese Association of Open Source Software Enterprises (ESOP) announced today that the Portuguese Parliament has approved the proposal to adopt Open Standards. The announcement says that the proposal, which was presented last week, had wide consensus of all Portuguese political parties.
According to the ESOP, these steps move Portugal closer to adding its name to the growing list of countries already using Open Standards, and adoption will allow for improved interoperability, strengthen market competition, help adjust the price value of solutions, and resolves the protocol and format problems caused by "exclusivity contracts".
More information on the ESOP and Open Standards Adoption in Portugal can be found on the website.

Just over a year ago our own Dave Houghton gave Street Fighter IV a glowing 10/10, an entirely deserved score for a game that breathed new life not just into the franchise, but an entire dormant genre. This perfect reinvention of Capcom's most beloved property was a huge hit with critics, casual players and the all-important tournament tweakers that keep the fighting engine churning.
It was such a success that Capcom's even fallen back into its revisionist ways and prepared a heavily remixed version with 10 new characters, brilliant new online modes and rebalanced gameplay, all for the bargain price of $40. With more content at a lesser price, there's nothing for us to do but give Super SFIV another stellar recommendation and urge you, whether you have the original or not, to dive in and get addicted all over again.
Above: More depth than the biggest open world you can find
Why does this matter, again?
Let's say you ignored SFIV but noticed all the hoopla, the YouTube videos, the fervor surrounding a game that's ostensibly just two people mashing buttons in each other's faces. While it's hard to adequately explain the nationwide hysteria that surrounded '90s arcades to those who weren't there, all you need to know about Street Fighter, IV in particular, is that it's the purest form of multiplayer, the best one-on-one test of skill, the ultimate party/trash talking game.
It takes only minutes to learn how to throw fireballs and whip out dizzying Ultra Combos. Even if you barely understand the concepts, it's still fun to pick characters at random and pass the controller around the room, pumping your fist in the air with each victory and yelling in disbelief at each loss. Conversely, it takes weeks (if not months) to master any one character in a game with 35 uniquely balanced fighters, effectively creating a game that's as deep as you want to be, and just as fun no matter how much time you invest.
Above: Fun with or without perfectly executed Super Combos and EX moves
But what's different about it?
In one sense, not a lot. In fact, you can read the original game's review and still come to the same conclusions. We're talking nearly identical content, so if you loved IV, the handful of additions here are worth your money. If you played IV and couldn't get into it, then there's no way Super SFIV is going to change your mind.
On the other hand, the 10 new fighters make an already robust fighting experience even richer, especially if you're an online player itching for new matchups. In a way, fully understanding each SF character is its own playthrough of a typical game, accounting for at least 20 hours of gameplay to become proficient. So, with even with just 10 new characters, fully exploring them all could take a whole lotta time.
Above: Potentially 700 hours of distinct gameplay
But let's be honest – no one's going to master every single character. It's just comforting to know that each time you pick a new fighter, the whole experience, every counter, feint, EX special and Ultra Combo will be drastically different if you take the time to learn the details. But again, don't be intimidated – Street Fighter is as demanding as you want it to be, nothing more.
We'll get into the other differences on the next page, including the Replay Channel, Bonus Stages and a look at the new fighters.

If a pro-life organization did this, there would be a media meltdown of epic proportions. Apparently one protester in the TX chamber was arrested for punching a trooper. PP's Head, Ms. Richards, tweeted for the group to get louder. Gotta love the classy, my way or the highway pro-aborts who live off of the government. CORRUPTION RULES!!!!! http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/352064/mob-tactics-texas-charmaine-yoest From the link: At 12:03 last night, the Texas Senate voted 19-10 to pass a pro-life omnibus bill that Democrat senator Wendy Davis had been filibustering earlier. But that was three minutes too late. The bill had to pass by midnight. Why were they three minutes late recording the vote? Because abortion activists had succeeded in creating so much chaos in the chamber, the Senate was unable to maintain an orderly process. The filibuster actually ended at 10:30, leaving an hour and a half in the legislative session to consider the bill. But mob rule took over with the protestors in the galleries overwhelming the number of police there to keep order. This is Saul Alinsky-style anarchy disguised as political protest. It's telling that abortion activists needed to resort to mob tactics and riot to defeat a bill that had such a resounding margin of support. But after their euphoria tamps down, the enablers of Big Abortion will come to see last night as a pyrrhic victory. There were no actual arguments advanced against the bill, only tired, old slogans and cliches from the '70s. What was in this bill that Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, is so proud of defeating? One element was based on model language from Americans United for Life that protects women undergoing chemical abortions by requiring that FDA-approved protocols be followed. At least 14 women have died after off-label use of abortion drugs Another element would have restricted abortion after a baby reached five months. At that point in a pregnancy, a woman is obviously pregnant, can feel the baby kicking, and sonograms may show the baby sucking his thumb.
You mean the fillibuster that ended at 10:30. Never heard of a vote being delayed 90 minutes after one. This incident reminds me of when a pro-abort in the NJ capitol physically attacked/punched a former abortion clinic owner who was testifying on the pro-life side for a parental notification bill. This attack was witnessed by several reporters, but none of them said boo about it, as the victim predicted would happen right after the scuffle ended. CORRUPTION RULES!!!!!
Yes, you care far more than about the rights of females to their own reproductive choices. It's a big part of why your side doesn't win elections outside of nutjob strongholds any more.
There was another 90 minutes of debate because Republicans weren't very even at applying the rules they used to end her filibuster. They then tried to claim they actually did vote before midnight and it was signed in time until someone went and looked at the computer logs to verify.
Go open your Branch Dividian cult and have whatever laws you like. Meanwhile, the war on women continues.
The war on the unborn dwarfs all other American wars combined in terms of American lives lost. Yet the liberal media will never call it a war. Propaganda that would be the envy of Hitler.
We shouldn't kill anything. I'm against the death penalty and abortion. However, in the majority of the abortion cases the women had reproductive rights, and chose to have unprotected sex. Reproduction has already taken place prior to abortion. Abortion is just another example of the convenience our society has come to expect.
That is a small part of the whole story, everyone acted like fools. First, the Texas legislature requires 2/3 majority to bring something to a vote, since they couldn't get that, they called a special session and then the Lt Gvr waived the 2/3 rule making it a simple majority for the session. The problem with the bill isn't that it limits abortions to 20 weeks, it's that it closes 42 of the 47 facilities in the state that currently provide abortions, and not one will be west of Austin. It's just another back door way to close down on the industry. But while she was filibustering they apparently allow 3 strikes, she got one for having someone bring her a brace to wear, one for bringing up a sonogram bill (they claimed it wasn't germane to this bill), and then again dinged her when she mentioned planned parenthood. How a previous bill on reproductive rights and a mention of a company that provides abortions is not germane to a bill on abortions is an odd leap. At that point they killed the filibuster with the three strikes rule, and then the dems started raising points of order to kill the clock until midnight. The last question came around 1146p, at which point the crowd did indeed get rowdy and kill the last 14 minutes, but here's my favorite part of the story....the vote passed at 3 minutes after midnight, and they actually doctored the online record to show it passing before midnight on the 25th. People had screenshots of the time and it had been filmed by a local station, so finally at 3a they had to admit it failed. Doesn't matter though, it while it will make Wendy Davis a star (and she now has almost a million twitter followers, her filibuster was more watched than any cable news show except one last night), they called another special session 30 days long. If they keep the same rules it will pass. Back to Wendy Davis though, she has a pretty amazing life story. She had to help her family and started working at age 14, when she was in her 20's a friend told her about a paralegal class she could take. She ended up transferring to TCU I think, where she finished number one in her class. From there to Harvard where she graduated with honors, and she did it all as a single mother. She beat a republican in Fort Worth somehow, they tried to gerrymander her out and she won a court case (one that would now presumably be quashed with the VRA ruling), where she became the needed vote that could block filibusters. Now this, and if you have seen her she is quite an attractive woman. Would be surprised if she didn't run for governor.

On a roadmap to ease nuclear tensions
Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have failed to achieve a breakthrough, after two days of talks, on a roadmap to ease nuclear tensions surrounding Iran's atomic programme.
Early on Wednesday, the IAEA issued a statement which said despite intensive discussions, the two sides could not sign a document which could have clarified whether Tehran's nuclear programme had a military dimension. "Intensive efforts were made to reach agreement on a document facilitating the clarification of unresolved issues in connection with Iran's nuclear programme, particularly those relating to possible military dimensions," said the statement. "Unfortunately, agreement was not reached on this document."
Iran also barred the IAEA team, led by the Agency's deputy director Herman Nackaerts to visit a military site in Parchin, where, there are suspicions that Iran has carried out high explosives testing related to the development of atomic weapons. IAEA chief Yukiya Amano expressed disappointment over the Iran's decision to deny the IAEA team access to the facility. "We engaged in a constructive spirit, but no agreement was reached," he said. In November, an IAEA report said Parchin housed a large cylindrical chamber which could withstand a force generated if 70 kg of high explosives was detonated. "It remains for Iran to explain the rationale behind these activities," the report noted.
Countering these assertions, Iran has asserted that under the rules of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) it is not obliged to open up its military facilities to the inspections of the IAEA. However, as a confidence building measure, it did provide the IAEA inspectors limited access to the facility in January 2005. Consequently, the Agency's report in February 2006 noted that the IAEA "did not observe any unusual activities in the buildings visited, and the results of the analysis of environmental samples did not indicate the presence of nuclear material at those locations".
Iran chose to deliver a mixed response to the latest visit by the IAEA team. Iran's permanent representative to the Agency Ali Asghar Soltanieh said Tehran would hold further talks" with the IAEA over its civilian nuclear programme. However, Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast did acknowledge that the latest round, concluded on Tuesday, would likely have a bearing on the proposed dialogue with the six global powers. "We should wait and see what issues that will result from the [IAEA] delegation's visit to Iran and what effects they will have in our negotiations with the Group 5+1 [the five permanent U.N. Security Council members plus Germany]," he said during his weekly press conference in Tehran.
The West has threatened to use military force against Iran, in case diplomacy fails to yield a breakthrough. But on Tuesday, a top Iranian General said far from being intimidated, Iran was prepared for all eventualities, including taking pre-emptive action. "We do not wait for enemies to take action against us," said General Mohammed Hejazi, Fars news agency reports. "We will use all our means to protect our national interests."
Adding credence to the General's assertion, Iran has begun a massive military exercise, covering a vast area of 19,000 sq km.
The purpose of these manoeuvres, codenamed "Sarollah" or God's Vengeance is to simulate protection of all "nuclear centres" from possible air strikes. The four-day exercise intends to integrate missile defence systems, radars and interceptor planes in southern Iran.

Chevy Aveo Hatchback
lngtonge18 Posts: 2,228
randydriver Posts: 262
ceestand Posts: 6Well, let no one say I won't admit when I'm wrong.
After visiting several sites, including the NHTSA as well as the SAE (who won't tell you the color of the sky without charging you), I've found that the pressure rating inside the door is the one to use.
In fact, the NHTSA has a fun little Flash presentation about tire pressure. They also say that the tire pressures listed are cold ratings and that driving as little as one mile can change the temp in the tire. Kind of makes the air pumps at gas stations worthless huh? -
dkuhajda Posts: 487The air pumps at the gas station are to get you by if you have a tire way low on pressure and to top of the tires after you already know how much to add.
You measure the air pressure early in the morning on your Aveo and notice that all four are exactly 4 psi, say 26psi, low from door rating. You drive to the gas station and remeasure the tires and now measure 31psi. How much air are you going to put in the tires? Should be 4psi which will give you a hot measure of 35psi. Even though the air you are putting in is a different temperature and the temperature of the air in the tires will change as soon as you put it in, it will come out very close the next morning to the correct value.
Like I said before, it is better to be slightly, ever so slightly, over inflated up to a few percentage with no ill effects rather than under inflated. -
noblejr Posts: 1I am considering the 2005 Aveo LT Hatchback, and I would just like to know if anyone knows how large of rims it can have? I know that the site says that it comes with 14's, but it also mentioned the fact that the car might be better suited with larger tires/rims... let me know if anyone has customized there's and has this info....
chrisducati Posts: 394In Europe the some Chevy Kalos, which is the same car as the Aveo , come with 15" alloys and a lower ride height. They also get a two door model. Check out Suzuki Canada Swift + site. They have a lot of items for the Swift+/Aveo/Kalos. Look up the Kalos Blue for some Ideas on custom looks... also the Kalos Dream ,which was the show car that the Aveo was based on :shades:
parky129 Posts: 50I have had a Rostra cruise control since last year, November to be exact. Over 8000miles and no problems. Easy install, two different units one for automatic and one for standard transmission. I have the automatic, get between 30-42mpg depending whether in town or on a trip. It takes about 1 1/2 hour to install since I am a senior and not too limber anymore. Love the cruise, would be lost without it.
busiris Posts: 3,490I have been speaking with the GM help line, and they say there are no records of Aveo clock problems. Of course, we owners know differently...
Your dealer seems to have additional info. Would it be possible to get the name and city where your dealer is located? I just don't want to replace 1 bad clock with another bad clock. -
busiris Posts: 3,490I am having it installed on Monday. They had to order the kit, and it took a little over a week to get it. I'll let you know how it works, but I expect no problems, as Rostra makes many OEM cruise control units for several manufacturers...
I'll get back with the results after a few days of testing the unit... -
busiris Posts: 3,490The official GM response is that there are no known problems with the Aveo clock.
However, as more Aveo's are sold, I expect that response to change. What I have learned from this, though, is that speaking with or emailing the Customer Support and Service Center about a problem is a complete and utter waste of time. Not that I expected anything much different.
And GM wonders why it continues to lose market share.
As for me, I will just wait a while before having my clock replaced...The car is such a pleasant experience that I would have bought it even if it didn't have a clock...after all, who buys a car to get a clock??? -
parky129 Posts: 50I agree although my clock is working fine, I purchased car in November 04 and have 8300miles on it. There has been no problems with my Aveo since purchase, unlike several new cars in the past that were full of defects. I notice that there are a few radio stations that give incorrect time signals and later come on with the correct time (usually PBS stations). If I had found a car previously that was as troublefree as this one is I wouldn't have hesitated to purchase a new car.Last new vehicle was a 1996 Astro Van.
iluvmysephia1 Posts: 5,716really Chevrolet's, they're Daewoo's rebadged as Chevrolet's. I say this because people tend to give Daewoo a bad name (that is if they've even heard of them before!!) as far as automaking goes. It's not true, though. Daewoo was doing a good job of producing cars but their South Korean leader turned out to be corrupt. That and several other factors, at least one of them being the South Korean economy, combined to doom Daewoo in the car business. I have a sneaking suspicion that us car nuts never even heard all of the story "behind the scenes" that helped lead Daewoo into oblivion. They were some $17B in arrears when they were "rescued" by GM. I will congratulate GM on acquiring Daewoo. That was a very smart thing for them to do. Very smart.

From what I have seen and heard, this car is far supperior to any past model.
There are quite a few rebadged cars on the market from different automakers, as well as motorcycle makers sharing models like Suzuki and Kawasaki. This is a smart business decision that fills a void in their product line, and saves a consideral amount of money. -
poncho167 Posts: 1,178I drove an Aveo last year at the GM autoshowinmotion.com test drive last year and was very impressed, but I continually hear people saying it is this or that.
I sat in a 5-door model yesterday and was as impressed as I was last year. The interior plastics are as good or better than any other economy car. In my opinion plastics are plastics, big deal, poor excuse. The manual transmission didn't feel any different from the many others I have driven. It didn't feel like it was going to fall-over or fail as some have mentioned, it felt like any other manual transmission. The clutch pedal feel seemed a little light in what I am used to, but I am sure that is fine. -
randydriver Posts: 262The Aveo is a good quality car......a lot of people don't know much about cars so they just parrot what they have heard....it has a different feel than my last car but different still than the previous....
The interior is very good and the paint quality is also. I think you will like the car. -
parky129 Posts: 50On several other Aveo websites that I monitor and belong to, there are people who treat their car as if it is a big toy. They modify it, race it and treat it as if it is a throwaway object. They aren't having too many problems with the car , except for problems they are creating. They have bragged about reving engine up till rev limiter kicks in then popping clutch, reving to limit and popping clutch with rear brake engaged to spin wheels. The only problems were breaking transission strut braces. They are also modifying suspension components and complaining about cheap original equipment quality, but until thy abused the car the so called cheap components held up fine. I have had my Aveo since November 2004 and have had NO problems with the car at all, I have had many new cars in my 50 years of driving experience and this is the first New car with a defect yet to show up! I drive the car as if it is mine, rather than as if it is rented. I use the cruise control most of the time and get between 30mpg and 42mpg, depending on where I drive. I have automatic transmission base model 5 door and love it.

dkuhajda Posts: 487You mean not true across the class of car, not the class of people.
Certain classes of people manage money and assets very poorly, they get into binds and can barely afford to make car payments and insurance, let alone any maintenance. They do buy many different brands and models, but a preponderance of the $250/month car customer will buy a new Kia or Hyundai, even though they really should only be in a $165/month car.
You know that commercial on tv with the guy mowing his lawn, talking about his nice house, car, etc and payments up to his eyeballs.
Forgot to mention, add the fact that many of the lower end cars are much less tolerant of neglect than cars that were designed a little better, and you have disaster on the way. -
backy Twin CitiesPosts: 18,787I meant class of car. I really think any discussion about "class of people" is of no relevance to this forum.
I really don't know what you mean by "less tolerant of neglect". If you fail to maintain any car, it is a disaster waiting to happen. Try not keeping the fluid levels up on a Lexus, for example, and see what happens. Its "better engineering" will not help you when the transmission fails, the engine seizes, or the A/C stops cooling. -
dkuhajda Posts: 487I think you missed the point or I was not clear enough. More likely the latter, my explanation.
When refering to the class of people, not meaning any socio-economic or other class, I mean people who do not manage assets or money well. i.e Most people who cannot manage money well do not maintain assests well, i.e. car.
Having been in engineering, a car or other electronic or mechanical system that was engineered to sustain a higher level of operation beyond normal will take a greater level of neglect and abuse before failing. In addition with different engineering specifications, they (the manufactures) pretty much know given a certain design criteria and manufacturing tolerance what the mean of failure due to normal use will be for a given component. It is a critical balance between cost and reliability.
Take the Geo Metro 1.3L engine, well designed, used very little oil, as a result was more tolerant of oil neglect, sludge damage would occur after 10s of thousands of miles of neglect. Take the 2.0L Chrysler engine (or the early Saturn engines), known to use oil, if neglected very long oil level would get too low and engine would seize up well before 10K miles.
The Daewoo Lanos 1.6L/Aveo 1.6L is generally a good engine, but does require some 'normal' attention as all cars should have. Timing belt replacement due to the interference engine design comes to mind as a biggie. Seen lots of Lanos on ebay with broken timing belts at 65K-70K, past the recommended 60K.
Back when I was 20, I fell into the 'class' of people that was not very smart about managing money or credit. I wised up pretty quick and it took years to get things right. Some people on the other hand simply do not take care of money or assests well at all. Like the old auto mechanics saying, you can pay me a little now for maintenance and preventative repairs, or pay me a lot later.
Hope this is a 'better' explanation and with the examples more explanatory. -
dkuhajda Posts: 487When it comes time to retire my current ride, a 96 Metro Sedan Automatic, 138K. I am leaning very heavily towards a slightly used Aveo Hatchback. I kind of like the fact so far that they do not command really high resale values used. Pretty decent initial reliability from a powertrain and major systems standpoint. Plus the local Chevy dealer has the best service department of any dealer around, probably the biggest factor.
For a small car the ride is well controlled, relatively quiet (luxury compared to my 96 Metro), nice interior, good feature content. $8,000 gets a fully loaded certified 2004 hatchback with less than 20K on it. -
backy Twin CitiesPosts: 18,787
oyveyo Posts: 12The point is valid. People who can't manage money rarely can manage routine maintenance schedules. It's not a socio-economic thing at all. Inexpensive vehicles often are bought by owners who don't see the big picture and fail to plan for the long term (oil changes, proper break-in, etc.). Sure, many a Lexus gets beat up but it's more out of, "Hey, I can buy a new one tomorrow" . It ain't irresponsible if you can pay for it...just a pity.
dkuhajda Posts: 487What is the typical payment on a 60 month loan on a $12,000 Aveo, 7% interest, sales tax down? ~$237. In order to get a 60 month loan at reasonable interest rates the car must be only one or two years old and relatively low miles. The extra $13/mo to bring it to $250 will put the extended warranty out to 100K.
What new cars does the Aveo compete against for the $250 a month buyer?
Hyundai Accent or Elantra
Toyota Echo, maybe a stripped Corolla.
Maybe a stripped Honda Civic.
Dodge Neon, with big rebates.
Ford Focus base with rebates.
The Suzuki low end lineup, Aerio, Reno, Forenza.
Given the current Hyundai/Kia warranty, more people who are first time car buyers, or are only approved for a $250 month payment are chosing those cars. Given the recent improvements in quality, it makes sense.
I think GM did the right thing in bringing the Aveo to the line-up. If they would only look at the warranty and include 'free maintenance' or a maintenance package with the sale of the car, it would go a long way. -

Excerpt from the Young Febrile Child chapter:
This chapter reviews the evidence concerning the epidemiology and etiology of fever in young children, discusses the diagnostic value of specific information gleaned from the history and physical examination, and presents the advantages and disadvantages of individual diagnostic tests. It also examine the risks and benefits of the empiric use of oral and parenteral antibiotics and the importance of follow-up. Finally, based on this evidence, it includes a management algorithm for this common but complex clinical problem. Questions such as the following will be addressed: How do you prevent occult bacteremia or detect it at an early stage? How much should you spend on this effort? How many well children should be tested by means of blood cultures and receive parenteral antibiotics to deal with this dilemma?
Excerpt from the Pharyngitis chapter:
This chapter presents an evidence-based approach to the evaluation and management of acute pharyngitis in adults and children. Emphasis is placed on accurately identifying and treating life-threatening causes of pharyngitis. In addition, options for managing the common causes of pharyngitis are described, including strategies to alleviate pain and discomfort, shorten the disease course, slow the rate of transmission, prevent complications (such as acute rheumatic fever and peritonsillar abscess), and minimize the adverse effects of inappropriate antibiotic treatment.
Excerpt from the HIV-Related Illnesses chapter:
Clinicians may be intimidated by the daunting array of diseases associated with HIV infection, as well as by the dizzying pace of new developments. But fear not! This chapter is intended to provide indispensable insights about how to manage the common complications of HIV infection seen in the ED.
Excerpt from the Antibiotics In The ED chapter:
Clinicians who treat infectious diseases in the ED need to apply a vast amount of knowledge regarding not only which antibiotics are appropriate in a particular situation, but also the relevant microbiology, diagnostic testing, and pathophysiology of the underlying disease. In everyday practice, it is not feasible to do a "bedside" literature search that would take all these factors into account. Most of us rely on memory or a guidebook, or both, but we cannot always be certain about the validity of the scientific studies on which we base our decisions. In this chapter, we will move onto firmer ground by distilling some of the existing evidence into concise practical guidelines.
