Dear Sanjaya, I would like to echo the others and commend UNESCO for commissioning Alma Swan to develop this useful and timely document! Dear Alma, thank you for a useful document! I have a couple of questions and suggestions:
Best wishes, Iryna Kuchma EIFL Open Access programme manager |
Melissa Hagemann |
First, I would like to commend UNESCO for commissioning Alma Swan to develop this useful and timely document. While funders and research institutions have been developing OA policies for the past nine years, the OA movement has not had a thorough reference point for background documentation on these policy developments until now. I think what will be of particular use to those developing OA policies is the structured way in which Dr. Swan lays out the different types of OA and the different ways to support them through the development of policy. Under organizations working to support OA (p. 45), I would suggest adding the EIFL-Open Access program (http:/ |

Dear friends, I've just started to read the document. Please, do allow more time for digesting the content. Please, consider this. Until more substantial wording... N |
Dominique Babini |
Dear Alma Swan and Sanjaya Mishra, This draft policy guidelines for the development and promotion of OA to scientific information and research is very comprehensive and covers main concerns and alternatives for funders (organizations and governments) and institutional policy-makers, and the example policies are good incentives for action, as well as the summary points at the end of each section that are very action oriented. We are asked to introduce comments to this draft, so I have tried to read it from the point of view of an institutional or government policy-maker with little knowledge about OA and working in a country of my region, Latin America. I do it knowing I am commenting on an excellent guideline, only to suggest some possible additions and because we were asked to comment this excellent work. In my case I will refer to Latin America for examples. If this will be "the" UNESCO policy guidelines for development and promotion of OA in the world, as developing region, may I suggest to add an introduction highlighting * the importance of open access to knowledge for a global sustainable development (with concepts concerning OA from the World Science Report 2010 and World Social Science Report 2010), trends and needs mentioned in those reports concerning OA * also in the Introduction, highlight Unesco´s role in OA activities in previous decades, with examples from different regions of the world. Ex.: very important for AO in Latin America has been the promotion/support/training during decades for development of cooperative subject bibliographic databases, with national focal points and based on open source ISIS software, databases which are today becoming open access regional subject repositories, with a growing number of records with full-texts, examples: health (BVS), agriculture (SIDALC), public management and policies (CLAD-SIARE), social sciences (CLACSO), work (LABORDOC), among others. Also the promotion of Greenstone open software for the development of digital libraries and repositories (Cyranek, Günther (2010). Greenstone: Un software libre de código abierto para la construcción de bibliotecas digitales. Experiencias en América Latina y el Caribe. Montevideo, Unesco, 210 p.) Within the guidelines, for developing regions readers, the following observations for your consideration 1.1. Page 1, third paragraph, "…there are probably many more minor peer-review publications in addition to this…" (the 25.000 from Ulrich´s Periodical Directory) I would change "minor" for "local" Page 1, 5º paragraph, "Now, with the only limiting factor being the technological limits of bandwith and computer power…" I suggest giving also in this section some word to computer and internet access being still limiting factors for OA in many developing regions ("access problems are accentuated in developing, emerging and transition countries" is mentioned in summary points on the importance of open access, pag.22) Page 2, 1º par. …"only a minority of scientific journals are now published in print to accompany the electronic version"…. In Latin America, electronic version accompany printed version, with a growing number of born electronic 1.3 in developing regions "price barriers" could also be considered when authors are charged for publishing in international OA journals at prohibitive prices per article. 1.4. Target content The main content of institutional repositories in Latin America are university theses , some thoughts from the author on other contents (see under 8.2.4. below) 2.1. OA repositories Even if geographical distribution of repositories (page 11) shows clearly minimum presence of developing countries, Unesco guidelines are usually taken as support for policy decisions in developing countries, so it would help in this section to add examples from developing regions with which the reader can best identify. University repositories from Brazil are good examples from our region, and the example of Universidad de Los Andes from Venezuela is already included in page 24 2.2.1. OA publishing arena In Latin America research is covered by state funds so journals are published by universities and academic societies and do not follow the business model described, it may be so in other developing regions. When the new OA publisher business model is described, it would help explain that authors (or their institutions) have to pay, and give examples of costs. And differentiate clearly from OA initiatives that do not charge the authors, as the good example the author mentions (Scielo, which today provides open access to 873 peer-review journals) Another example is Redalyc (www.redalyc.org) with 758 peer-review journals. Both initiatives are subsidized, cover journals from Latin America, Caribbean, Spain and Portugal, with no charge for authors or readers. Another OA facilitator in our region is OJS/PKP, the open source software used by 9.000 journals worldwide, of which 3.280 in Latin America and the Caribbean, mainly in Brazil with a centralized journal publishing portal SEER- Sistema Eletrônico de Editoração de Revistas. Several university journal portals in our region are developed with OJS, ex. Universidad de Chile, and UNAM in Mexico. 2.2.2. OA publishing in developing and emerging countries The complete UNESCO guidelines will be for developed and developing regions. This paragraph is then not needed, because it is understood that all the guidelines are for both, developed and developing countries. I suggest this paragraph be part of 2.2.1. Part 3. The importance of OA May I suggest consider the 2010 World Science Report http:/ Main trends: http:/ and the 2010 World Social Science Report http:/ Both have interesting data and trends concerning access to research results, which can be of use for the introduction, and for this section on the importance of OA in the world. Part 4. Benefits of OA 2º paragraph: …. "in an OA world the article is available with a few clicks of the mouse", for this reason it helps if at some point (infrastructure?) in the guidelines some thoughts are given to the need of investment in computer and internet access, and bandwidth when not available, as OA facilitators 4.2. Visibility and usage of research For the point about "…developing world research, which has always been hampered by the lack of channels for reaching developed world scientists and the bias of the large abstracting and indexing services…" may I suggest including in the Guidelines bibliography the work from Jean-Claude Guédon (2008) "Open Access and the divide between "mainstream" and "peripheral" science" http:/ (this E-Lis subject repository for information science is a very interesting collaborative initiative very used in our region) 5.2.1. repositories At some point of the guidelines, or as footnotes, some reference, plus bibliographic references, could refer to open software used in repositories? And the usual metadata standards? (for readers that do not have experience with repositories, to discourage proprietary software elections in new developments) 5.2 new business models "Having largely relinquished academic publishing activities to large commercial publishers (this category includes some learned society publishers) over the past 50 years, the research community is taking the activity back under its control in some areas"…. In Latin America journals are mainly subsidized by State funds that cover research, this may be an explanation of OA adoption by journals in the region. I coordinate the Latin America Social Science Council (CLACSO, www.clacso.org) institutional repository, and from 300 journals published by our member research institutions in 21 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, 60% of these journals are available open access in the journals website and/or journal repositories as Scielo, Redalyc and CLACSO´s journal section in the repository. In the range of new business models sponsors (page 27, 1º par) I suggest considering support from international funds, example: The Fund for Regional Public Assets of the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB), sponsors the project "Regional Strategy and Interoperability and Management Framework for a Latin American Federated Network of Institutional Scientific Documentation Repositories". It was endorsed by the IADB on June 2010 and coordinated by RedCLARA. Its purpose is the creation of a consensual strategy and a framework of agreements related to interoperability and information management for the construction and maintenance of a federated network of institutional scientific publications repositories in the region. http:/ Another example are the regional subject repositories mentioned at the beginning of my comments. In the case of CLACSO´s regional social science repository (www.clacso.edu.ar) we have received support in the past decade from SIDA (Sweden), NORAD (Norway), IDRC (Canada), INASP (UK). Today it has 28.000 full-texts from the region and receives an average of a million requests each month. 184.108.40.206 Subsidy and 126.96.36.199. Sponsorship The most used models in Latin America 7.1. Policy-focused strategies 4th. Paragraph "…there is current legislation being considered…. in Brazil, Germany and Poland, for example…" now can be added Argentina with an OA bill in discussion in Congress introduced in October 2010 http:/ Page 42, some examples from developing countries would help advocacy in those regions 7.2. Advocacy-based strategies For advocacy among peers working in OA, in Latin America the LLAAR mailing list (300 members, https:/ 7.4. Organisations engaged in promoting OA From Latin America could be added if examples are needed from developing regions: Latin American Federated Network of Institutional Scientific Documentation Repositories, Red CLARA http:/ In Brasil, IBICT (Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnología, Ibict) with SEER (for journals,Sistema Eletrônico de Editoração de Revistas-SEER) and OASIS (repositories harvester in development, Oasis.br) Part 8: policy framework for OA The example of Argentina can be added in laws under development http:/ 8.2.4. Content types and 9.2.2. target content and 9.3.2. target content and in Glossary "green open access" that refers only to articles The main content of institutional university repositories in Latin America are today theses, then articles, and many other contents of which some are peer-review http:/ Could it be a possibility to recommend identification (in metadata?) of peer review contents, or some thoughts from the author on theses and other contents as possible content ? (here and in summary page 59) because in DOAR there is diversity of contents in repositories and we should identify in metadata which are peer-review. http:/ BIBLIOGRAPHY Each regional consultant for GOAP will include in its regional OA report a bibliography from where the author of the Guidelines can select works to complement this comprehensive bibliography of the Guidelines with some additional references specific to developing regions. If it is of interest. Glossary "green open access" that refers only to articles Appendix 1: example policies Examples are of great help, very valuable resource. The example of Queensland includes also refereed conference papers and theses To put this reality closer to a possible reality in developing countries it would help to include some examples from developing countries If no examples are included from the developing world it could inhibit developing countries. A "Unesco" model for institutional, funding and national mandates UNESCO could contract the author for writing an annex "UNESCO orientation model" for institutional and funding mandates, that could be used as "the" Unesco models and recommendations to be used in advocacy at institutional and national level in developing regions, where comparisons with Harvard, Liege and other developed country models seem a far-away reality, but a Unesco recommendation and model is very familiar, as other UN recommendations and guidelines, to facilitate quick adoption of appropriate policies An annex could include the regional contact points for OA, taken from the regional OA consultancies for GOAP And Unesco OA present initiatives should be described in the introduction I thank again Alma Swan for these excellent guidelines and for such a comprehensive work. My comments are very modest suggestions in front of such an endeavour undertaken by the author. with warm regards, Dominique Babini |

Dear OA Community Members, I welcome you to this online discussion on the "Policy Guidelines for the Development and Promotion of Open Access". I hope that you have already read the draft document prepared by Dr. Alma Swan. It is available in this community and can be downloaded here (link). By conducting this online discussion, we not only want to tap into the collective knowledge of the community to sharpen and polish the document, but also want to hear about your experiences of open access policies and their implementation. Your views on the issues addressed by Dr. Swan in the document are important us. Some of the highlights of the document prepared by Dr. Swan are: 1. Description of a historical perspective and context of open access 2. Clear definition and articulation of what is meant by open access 3. Detailed explanation on approaches, benefits, importance and business models of open access 4. Positioning copyright and licensing issues within the context of open access policy 5. A typology of OA policies, and specific guidelines with templates for Member State Institutions to adopt appropriate OA policies We expect that this document will be widely circulated after finalization, and it is used to demystify issues surrounding OA, and facilitate quick adoption of appropriate policies. The document has been written as a guide to assist stakeholders to take decisions by understanding the issues involved. However, the template can also be used to quickly adopt OA policies. Dr. Swan has highlighted that policies does help to improve access to peer reviewed information, and we hope that this document will help further accelerate the process of policy adoption in the Member State Institutions. While we expect you to comment on the document, please feel free to cover any of the issues addressed in the document, and anything that you feel should be included in the context of Open Access. While minor typos will be taken care by us, we will be obliged, if you can send specifics to me by email. I look forward to your activ eparticipation, engaging discussion and comments.

POSTED: Friday, June 11, 2010 - 10:02am
UPDATED: Friday, June 11, 2010 - 8:23pm
The Click It or Ticket campaign for 2010 started on May, 24, 2010 and ran through June 6, 2010. The seatbelt compliance rate for the State of Texas is 93%. In March of this year a seatbelt survey was conducted in the City of Tyler. The results showed a 96% usage rate for wearing a seatbelt. After the Click It or Ticket campaign for this Memorial Day Holiday a second survey was conducted in the City of Tyler, indicating a 97.6% usage rate. We are pleased with the results showing that the citizens of Tyler do "Buckle Up For Safety".
Tyler police officers that participated in the 2010 "Click It or Ticket" federally funded program issued 186 citations for seatbelt violations, 30 citations for child restraint violations, 70 other citations for miscellaneous violations and three arrests.
This year two important changes have been made to the seatbelt and child restraint laws. The following changes are indicated below:
1) All occupants in a passenger vehicle must wear a seatbelt in the front and rear seats,
"unless they fall into a special category which is exempt from wearing one."
2) A child who is younger than 8 years of age and less than 4' 9" tall must be in an approved child passenger safety seat system.
*** We would also like to remind you that a passenger must be at least 18 years old to ride in the back of an open-bed vehicle. We recommend that NO PASSENGERS are allowed to ride in the back of an open-bed pickup due to serious injury or death if the vehicle is involved in a car crash.***

2:1 selective coordination ratio (within RK5 fuse family) prevents electrical shutdowns from extending beyond the failed circuit.
Insulated end caps for 70-600A fuses reduces exposure to live parts and extends air gap to distance between blades of adjacent mounted fuses or to housing.
Easy upgrade for one-time and renewable fuses installations. Because the Fusetron Class RK5 fuses fit any Class K5 or H fuse blocks and holders, you now have the opportunity to upgrade your circuit protection and save even more.
• Provides motor overload, ground fault and short-circuit protection. When used in circuits subject to surge currents such as those caused by motors, transformers and other inductive components, these fuses can be sized close to full-load amps to give maximum overcurrent protection.
• The time-delay feature makes it possible to use fuse amp ratings which are much smaller than those of non-time-delay fuses. Considerable cost saving occurs by permitting the use of smaller size switches, panels and fuses themselves.
• Provides a good degree of short-circuit protection (greater current-limitation) to help protect downstream components from high fault currents.
• Gives motor running back-up protection to motors without extra cost.
• Helps protect motors against burnout from overloads and single-phasing when sized properly.
• Simplifies and improves blackout prevention (selective coordination ratios).
• Dual-element fuses can be applied in circuits subject to temporary motor overloads and surge currents to provide both high-performance, short-circuit and overload protection.

In short , a game engine is a set of tools that allow you to craft a game using those tools provided.
It makes more sense when you actually make a small game, and then another small game... you can take a few things from your first game and use them in the second game... in C++ and SDL that would be your initiating SDL functions, blitting functions, loading art functions, probably your text functions... stuff that doesnt change that much and each game can use.
The more games you make the more 'tools' (tricks, techniques, methods) you aquire and the more you put into your next game... eventually you have a nice set of tools.
A Game Engine allows you to bypass that building up of your tool collection and presents you with the tools (but you do now have to learn how to use the tools as you didnt aquire them normally).
A Game Engine is usually coded in a more robust manner concentrating on ensuring the interfaces provide only the actions that were intended, and not allow for unintended calls... proper encapsulation, whereas most beginner coders are more concerned with getting damn thing to run and dont worry if someone else uses the code.

Saturation effects on the coupling efficiency of a nonlinear grating coupler
Applied Optics, Vol. 29, Issue 9, pp. 1365-1368 (1990)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (451 KB)
We report a theoretical study and a numerical analysis of the coupling efficiency of a grating coupler in a slab waveguide with a nonlinear guiding medium characterized by a saturable index of refraction. A phenomenological relationship is assumed for the saturation of the nonlinearity.

Unlike past years when I wrote about fantasy football handcuffs, designating a true handcuff for 2013 is becoming harder and harder to pin point. Especially 5 that are worth writing about. With teams continuing to use more of a two-back system, or the dreaded Running Back By Committee, distinguishing a worthy handcuff to draft in the later rounds behind a stud running back isn't as easy as it used to be. Many backups are starting to have their own fantasy value, which means the chances of them being snagged by another owner earlier than usual is greater than it used to be.
Aside from those teams who are expected to use more than one running back like the Patriots (Ridley/Vereen) and the Bengals (BGE/Bernard), there are also those other teams who do have a true workhorse, but have backups who I wouldn't trust to get me through one game let alone multiple ones.
Can anyone really trust Jacquizz Rodgers if Steven Jackson missed more than a game or two? Not me.
So after doing much fanta...

Ehh... If you are exhausted, and short on cash
Posted Apr 25, 2014The room we received was not what we booked on expedia. We booked a non-smoking room with two double beds. Received a room with one double bed, smoking. One of the two lights in the room was broken, the light switch was missing. The chair was horribly soiled, the pull out couch was dilapidated and falling in on itself. The hole overall was old and not maintained well. However, there were no signs of bed bugs. There are plenty of other hotels in Dothan, that would be a better choice.

I apologize for any inconvenience you had while staying with us at Americas Best Value Inn & Suites. While we do offer a complimentary breakfast; our lobby size does have an impact on what types of items we can conveniently offer for our guests. We do provide fruit, pastries, muffins and coffee on a daily basis. The front desk is stocked daily for any items that the guests' may need after housekeeping have left for the day. Obviously, it wasn't stocked appropriately and I apologize for you having to move to another room. Your opinion is important to us and we do use this as a tool to train and improve in areas that may need additional attention. We hope you will give us another opportunity if you are in the Dothan area.

This is a two-part article analyzing the necessity--or rather, lack thereof--for bicycle licensing in New York City.
Part I can be found here.
"#4 – Law enforcement officials adopt a formal initiative to write tickets to cyclists as aggressively as motor vehicles."
Maybe the reason they've never been seen getting a ticket in Seattle is because they don't get pulled over for speeding. However, I can personally vouch for getting a ticket for running a red light this past October. I went to court in January and it was overturned.
Cyclists should be ticketed when they directly pose a threat to others' safety. Running red lights at minor intersections or crosswalks when there are no cars approaching does not pose a threat to anyone's safety. Cutting off cars that have the right of way does. Two concrete instances are when they bikes ride on the sidewalk, especially for an extended period, and when they go against the flow of traffic. Sidewalks are for the safety of pedestrians, and unless road conditions make it impossible for a cyclist to be on the road, bikes need to be in the street with the other vehicles. Going against the flow of traffic when not on the shoulder of the road or in a bike lane is most dangerous to both the cyclist and oncoming traffic; it hurts a lot less to be sideswiped than to be in a head-on collision. I also mention these two because cars are most certainly not allowed on the sidewalks or to travel the wrong way either. Bicyclists are not Hell's Angels with a death wish. We are commuters and workers, trying to get from point A to point B.
Cyclists may "get off the hook" not because they lack accountability, but because it's more prudent to reprimand dangerous drivers first, whose irresponsible actions pose an immediate and potentially devastating effect on others, as opposed to reckless cyclists, who will only hurt themselves. Which, I might add, is excellent motivation for bikers to cultivate good judgment about safety and self-preservation. The system works; it is merely prioritizing.
"#5 – And, of course, mandatory liability insurance requirements for bicyclists."
Aww, poor Chevy...that horrid bike scuffed the bumper. Too bad for the bike—it's now folded in two. Guess that poor two-wheeled sap will have to pony up to get your bumper buffed. Let's hope he can spare the cash after his medical bills.
Cycles bear the burden of damage when collisions occur. Not only would liability insurance be a costly burden, it would also be largely unnecessary. Considering the humble income of most New York City messengers and pedicab operators, none of them are going to afford any kind of insurance. Neither can I, for that matter. I got a bike so I didn't have to pay car insurance. I'm saving a ton of money and I've never damaged a car. For those drivers who are complaining about bills right now, I suggest you try it.
For that matter, why shouldn't cyclists get a break on tabs and fees? Why shouldn't there be a monetary incentive to ride? When cars guzzle up nonrenewable resources and rip holes in the ozone layer and create a smog-filled environment, why not reward those who travel with zero carbon output and look after their health and well-being with regular exercise? It's the same argument that many use for the cigarette tax, which is undoubtedly in place.
* * *
I think my major argument to this question is if licensing cyclists is really going to earn riders the respect and consideration they ask from drivers. I don't think it will. By the arguments presented and the tone set by Mr. Myrick, it seems as though many drivers aren't after equality; they want to be unburdened. Many express concern about cyclists' safety, but at the same time neglect to look at their own behavior while operating a motor vehicle.
As the number of bicyclists increases at the rate it has been, it means people are choosing them over cars, which will feasibly lead to fewer accidents, not more. The notion that "in order to be taken seriously, to be treated as equals on the road, bicyclists' street cred will be earned by strapping on the same yoke their fellow commuters don to enjoy the privilege of traveling on public roads" is insulting and patronizing. I would love to see Mr. Myrick ride even five miles to work every day—hell, two—for a year, or a month, or even a week, and have to deal with reckless drivers, jaywalking pedestrians buried in their Blackberrys, bridges, bumps, gravel, below-freezing temperatures, 30 mph wind, sunrises, light rain, catcalls, sunsets, grimy faces, and sweaty t-shirts, and then tell us in full earnest that we need to earn our street cred. We all must follow the rules and look out for each other while we share--yes, share--the road.

Interstellar Recovery and Rescue
Nuclear Technology
In the IRR universe, Nuclear Power is still the King of Power Production. Smaller, cleaner, and greatly improved power production engines have made the use of Radioactive Isotope Engines possible.
Also, Nuclear Weapons are the weapon of choice when it comes to Weapons of Mass Destruction. Usually matters are rather extreme when Nations use Nuclear Devices.
The Monitor Corps only arms Warships with Nuclear Armaments, and they are to be used only in case of Interstellar War between the Union and Alien States. As it currently stands, no incident has called for the use of such devices.

I'm glad so many of my favorite Pokemon have been added to the new Unova Dex. But, it's kinda weird to not have the Pichu evolution line in it.
Yeah. I think Lucario and Riolu is native to Unova but was introduced in 4th gen because think about it, you can't even catch wild Riolu in Sinnoh. The same for the Metagross line, you can't catch them anywhere in Hoenn. I think they are native to Unova as well but was introduced in 3rd Gen.
I think there are more Pokemon like this but I can't seem to remember them.
Metagross line would be native to sinnoh if it goes that way.
Yes that is a Female Dino Charge Red. It's a FanFic thing
I don't think Riolu belongs to Unova. First off, you find him in a ranch, full with pokémon from other regions. Second, he is rare in there. In his native place he should be at least common.
You can find wild Metagross lined Pokemon in Sinnoh?
Well native means "Associated with the country, region, or circumstances of a person's birth" or in this case "Associated with the region, or circumstances of a Pokemon's birth"
So even if it is rare to find it, you can still only find it in Unova.

Not quite. Beldum can only be found as a swarm, meaning it's not normally there. And not only that, but the Battle Zone (that's the official name of the postgame island in D/P/Pt, also where the Beldum swarm occurs) is not actually part of the Sinnoh region. The NPC's on the Battle Zone all refer to Sinnoh as a separate region from them.

1. Blow your nose
Yeah. Mareep are native to Jhoto and Unova. But I am not sure if you can find it in the other regions. I don't remember other games wild Pokemon by heart.
So swarms don't count? Then that means Tyrogue and it's evolution's is not native to any region! :O

This is why it's a complex issue trying to claim whether or not a Pokemon is "native" to a certain region, because even the Pokemon that are supposed to be native to that region (based on generation), aren't catchable. But whether or not they're catchable in the game doesn't mean much, for all we know there's some area in the region we've never been able to go to before where you can find that Pokemon. It's not just about what's catchable and what isn't.
Challenger's Cave is a better example. Regardless, Riolu is native to Unova and cannot be found in the wild in any other region.
Why, exactly? Its rarity is wholly irrelevant; it's still available in the wild.Second, he is rare in there. In his native place he should be at least common.
You can't say that for sure. How do you know there's not some random area in those regions where Riolu can be caught that we just don't have access to in the games? Just because we don't know where to catch one doesn't mean it isn't there. The fact that you can't catch one yourself in DPPt is a design decision meant to make it rare, it's in the Sinnoh Dex so that's enough to say that Riolu is a Sinnoh native. Whether or not Riolu is a Unova native is a trickier issue, though, the only true natives to the region are 5th gen Pokemon, for the rest it's a bit up in the air. Especially in Unova's case since we have a somewhat reasonable explanation why the others may not be native (a Pokemon Ranger explains that she's looking for Pokemon that may have escaped the Poketransfer Lab. It's not unlikely then, that the wild Pokemon population in East Unova is made up of Poketransfer escapees that have settled in those areas. The fact that non Unovan Pokemon populate other areas of Unova in BW2 may be a result of such Pokemon spreading into other areas over the last 2 years).
What do you mean Riolu might be obtainable in dpp in some unknown area? It isn't obtainable there, period. It might be in the anime, but since when was the anime considered canon to the games?

And the pokedex thing? Riolu is in the sinnoh dex, but he's also in the unova dex.

You don't know the entire Sinnoh region, so you can't say that for sure. Sure, in the games so far the only region where you can catch wild Riolu for yourself is Unova, but that's not what I'm talking about here. There may be some other area in the region that the game doesn't let us access (because it has yet to be created). Look at Rt. 47 & 48 in Johto, we couldn't go there in GSC, but that doesn't mean those areas don't exist or that the Pokemon there are uncatchable in the region, we just never knew about them until they were introduced in HGSS. It's the same with any region. How do you know you can't catch a Riolu in such an area in Sinnoh? We just so happened to get one from Riley because Game Freak decided making Riolu uncatchable would be a fair way to keep it a rare Pokemon. Fact of the matter is, they can put Pokemon wherever the hell they want in the games, that comes down to how they design the game, so that alone does not say whether or not a Pokemon is native to the region. Our best bet for telling which Pokemon are native and which are not is the regional dex, after all how can you be expected to complete a Pokedex that catalogues the Pokemon in that particular region if Pokemon in that regional dex are not native to said region?

From a top-down perspective, we know that the numbering convention of the expanded Pokédex of Black 2 and White 2 was to make it so that there wouldn't be large gaps in the Pokédex like those of other regions.
But my question is, what is it like for the professors and other research authorities of the region? What's it like having to adapt to the new numbering system?
I like the inclusion of lots of Gen 3 pokemon.
This "Pokemon Rainbow" rumored game is already killing me. I want it!
Also, general nintendo fans will probably like my youtube. I make unboxings and collection videos.
Thanks if you check it out

Download the Studying the diet of platypus video
Richard Marchant: This is the upper Shoalhaven site where I've been looking at platypus diet with my colleague, Tom Grant, who has used this site for many years for observation of platypus biology.
This is a series of long, quite deep pools, up to three metres deep, and consequently to look at the diet of the platypus, one needs to sample the bottom of the pools where they feed, and this can only be done by diving. You can see that the pools are very rocky, but they harbour interesting animals such as dragonflies, freshwater mussels and mayflies, and these are all part of the diet of platypus.
What I'm trying to do here is get some information on the actual denisities of these animals on the bottom. Tom in the past (30 years ago) did an excellent study on what the platypus ate, but the missing part of the picture is what is available - how much is available to the platypus. This is what I'm trying to do by collecting quantitative data from a square quadrat like this on the bottom of the river. By sampling such a quadrat at various spots on the river I can build up a picture of the density of many of the potential prey items. From that sort of data, we can get an idea of the, what we call, 'production' of aquatic insects and other invertebrates on the bottom of the river. We can match this with the known energy requirements of the platypus.
One of the ultimate aims of the whole project is to try and determine how many platypus can be supported by a given length of river.
Here I'm just processing the sample that's been taken underwater on the banks, and examining the material under the microscope.

SMTP and Outlook 97
I have a machine running Outlook 97. Somehow, the SMTP server has become changed to 'net' (that's all it says - it should be nameofdomain.com). I am unable to change this back - every time I try, the next time Outlook goes to send and receive, it attempts to locate 'net' again. Any idea what's going on here? Google is little help on such generic keywords and the MS knowledge base doesn't seem able to help. Spyware check reveals nothing. XP Home.
File diffs
I have two versions of a largeish text file, one a slightly modified version of the other. Is there any app I can run in Xp that would report the differences between the two on a line-to-line basis?

Windows 2000 hard disk management
Hard disk management. I have several hard drives, running from 20GB to 120GB.

XP update problem
WinXP: my laptop downloaded a windows update (not sure what sort). Now, when I shut down, it tries to update my machine. I get a message saying that Windows is updating, and it advises me NOT to turn off my machine until it's done. But it continues to "update" forever. I've let it sit for two hours, and it still claims to be updating. Finally, with clenched teeth, I shut off the machine and rebooted. Everything seems okay. Now, whenever I shut down, it asks me if I want to install the upgrade or not. If I say yes, the machine stalls on that upgrading message. If I say no, it shuts down fine. I'm ok with saying no all the time, except that now I can't ever add any new updates. What should I do?
My wireless Mac and wired PC transfer to each other at 2.5 MB/s. Can I speed this up any?

Examples of mechanical or software placebos?

Part Two: Are there other examples of mechanical (or software) placebos? I've heard that the "progress bar" you see when Windows boots doesn't actually mean anything. Microsoft just discovered that people were happier if there was some sort of animation going on while their computer was starting up.

On my HP Pavilion mx703 that runs on Windows XP, the screen will get wavy black lines working their way up.
I have an HP Pavilion mx703 that runs on Windows XP. Lately, right in the middle of working on it, the screen will get these wavy black lines on it (can't really be more specific than that) that start at the bottom and work their way to the top.

XP Utility for Batch File Management (File Moves, or Multiple Copies)?
I know there are batch renaming utilities, but I'm looking for a more general batch-file management tool.

For instance, I have a hundred folders, each of which contains a subfolder called Images. Within Images, there are three jpegs. I need to delete the Images folders but not the jpegs.

XP SP2 and WebDav
i have some of my remote users in the office connect to our fileserver using webdav as a means to quickly (though admittadly not-securely) access and change documents, etc. it seems though, that since using windows xp SP2 it's been dirt slow. my user will click on a directory, and it will take no less than 10 seconds for the directory to be highlighted. that's not even attempting to open the directory - that'll take another two minutes or so. i'm trying to figure out what's exactly going on here. ideally i'll be switching to VPN soon, but in the meantime, i need to get this working properly again.
