produced by caroll vanwelden & dirk van der linden
No horns, no violins, just that sober sound that reminds of the real cosy jazz clubs. With top musicians – Dirk Van der Linden on guitar, Janos Bruneel on double bass, and Stijn Wauters on the piano – vocalist Caroll Vanwelden succeeded in recreating that lovely 1920'/30's sound with just the right retro touch and lots of great swinging moments. Caroll was really made to bring that good old jazzy style. As jazz has always been her first love this compilation of her all-time favourite standards resulted in the new swing album 'Cheek to Cheek' which she dedicates to Ella Fitzgerald and the memory of the Nat King Cole trio. 'Cheek to Cheek' is a jazz album that brings back cherished memories of that great decade.

Pronunciation: /ˈpɒlɪplɔɪd/
Definition of polyploid in English:
Of or denoting cells or nuclei containing more than two homologous sets of chromosomes: these cells have a highly polyploid nucleus
More example sentences
- Formation of polyploid nuclei as a consequence of failure of chromosome segregation in the presence of ICRF-193 was also reported in HeLa cells.
- Weak png mutations permit several transient S-M cycles to occur, producing embryos with a characteristic phenotype of multiple polyploid nuclei.
- As can be seen in Fig 4A and Fig B, the developing egg chambers in these ovarioles contain nurse cells with polyploid nuclei and a cell at the posterior that may correspond to the oocyte.
Back to top A polyploid organism, variety, or species: many of our cultivated plants are polyploids
More example sentences
- Different from bivalent polyploids, multivalent polyploids pair their chromosomes among more than two homologous copies at meiosis.
- The duplicated genetic material in the polyploids facilitates hybridization and introgression among different polyploid species leading to the production of recombinant genomes that barely can be formed at the diploid level.
- Attempts to introduce variability from wild diploid species into polyploids have taken several paths and have frequently met with difficulty.
- 1
- Example sentences
- Ring chromosomes, chromatid exchanges and polyploidies were also observed at some treatments.
- These include the early evolution of recombination, redundancy through polyploidy, division into chromosomes, and overlapping sequences as a means of reducing mutational targets.
- This article generalizes their approach to allow for arbitrary modes of inheritance, including diploidy, polyploidy, sex linkage, cytoplasmic inheritance, and genomic imprinting.

Building up for the excitement of the E3 2014, Sony seems to be on the role in revealing title after title for the PS4, PS Vita and PS3.
Three more games have been added to the reveal list--a trippy game based on life decisions, an adaptation of a favorite comic book and TV series in pinball form and an unannounced title from "God of War" developer Sony Santa Monica.
This is good news for fans, especially those who have been disappointed after Sony has confirmed to GameSpot that the rumoured "The Last of Us" remastered version for the PS4 is not coming on June 13.
While "The Last of Us" PS4 remastered version's release date remains to be a "summer of 2014," there are still these three games that Sony fans can look forward to.
"The Walking Dead" for Zen Pinball 2
For those who are worried that this title from "The Walking Dead' franchise may not live up to the videogame from Telltale Games, Zen Studios has revealed that they have partnered with Telltale Games and comic creator Robert Kirkman in creating the pinball game.
"The Walking Dead pinball table features choice-driven gameplay across each of Season One's five episodes, along with original story dialogue from the award-winning cast," said Zen Studios on the PlayStation Blog.
"Scenarios include choosing who to save and who to leave behind in a walker attack, solving problems and raising morale within the group, searching for food and supplies, acquiring important tools, and navigating through the herd amidst an oncoming walker breach.
It seems that this will be more than just your average pinball game, and it will debut on the PS4, PS3 and PS Vita platforms come summer of 2014. The game will also be playable during the E3 2014 event, but for now, check out the trailer below.

More than "God of War" for Sony Santa Monica?
Recently, there have been some speculations that Sony Santa Monica may be getting ready for a new "God of War" title, especially after the studio itself has teased that "The gods have spoken" even before E3 2014 has debuted.
But whether or not a new "God of War" is coming, Sony Santa Monica is looking at a new exciting title that remains unannounced to this day. DualShockers has found an image of the tease from Play Magazine, which mentions the really exciting new game.
There are no clear indications if it is a new title for an existing franchise or if it's a new one entirely, but at the very least, games are assured that Sony Santa Monica hasn't stopped work since the cancellation of an earlier sci-fi title.
The Great and the Trippy: "One Way Trip"
Hallucinations and choices--those two things seem to be at the forefront of the upcoming PS4 and PS Vita game, "One Way Trip."
You have a mixture of the trippy feel brought on by the premise that you as the player only has six hours to live, so you set on with your life choices in the midst of hallucinatory spurts.
"The game accomplishes these goals in its story mode through a mixture of both constant choice-based branching and a deeper, more procedural systems-based approach," said Michael Frauenhofer, project lead for "One Way Trip," over at the PlayStation Blog. "At any given point, wherever you are and whatever you do, everyone else is actively living their own lives and working towards their own goals, altering the fabric of the narrative."
It seems that the point of the game is to put the progress entirely on the player's hands, so you can get an action-packed adventure or a meditative reflection of the remainder of your life--your choice.
As trippy as it feels, the reveal trailer is even trippier, if that's even possible.

Issue: GameWindow Icon Support
Posted Friday, 21 November, 2008 - 17:54 by JTaltonProject: | The Open Toolkit library |
Version: | 1.0-beta-1 |
Component: | Code |
Category: | feature request |
Priority: | normal |
Assigned: | Unassigned |
Status: | closed |
Jump to:
I am getting to the point in my project where it would be nice to post screen shots. It would be nice to have Icon support for the GameWindow.
Fortunately for us, we can reuse the implementation from Mono WinForms.
On X11, we simply set the NET_WM_ICON property (search for SetIcon on X11Internal.cs).
Does anyone know how this can be achieved on Win32 and/or MacOS?
Status: | open | » postponed |
This depends on the results of http://www.opentk.com/node/668 ("Investigate possible WinForms-based GameWindow implementation.")
Status: | postponed | » closed (invalid) |
This will not be implemented. Please set an application icon through your IDE.
Version: | all versions | » 0.9.x-dev |
Status: | closed (invalid) | » open |
Hi, I'm using visual studio 2005, and how can I set the icon on the GameWindow class??
thanks in advance
You can set the application icon through your project properties: right click your project in the VS2005 solution pane, select properties and click on the "Application" tab (the first one). Under the "Resources" section, you can select a custom application icon.
thanks Fiddler, this is what I made, in fact the .exe icon is the icon that I set up in the properties of my application, but if the gamewindow is windowed the window icon is the default white form, and also in the task bar appears this icon and not the .exe icon
thanks in advance
Status: | open | » confirmed |
Ah, I see. Will try to fix this in one of the upcoming releases.
thanks very much fiddler!
having this problem as well, thanks
edit: do i need a special branch to get icons working still?
No, there is no way to set the icon right now.
Edit: do you know how to retrieve the icon resource from the current executable? If there is a way to do this, we can add icon support trivially in the next version of OpenTK.

Circumventing the Electoral College: Why the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact Survives Constitutional Scrutiny Under the Compact ClauseMichael BrodyGeorge Mason University, School of Law, Student/Alumni March 30, 2012 Legislation and Policy Brief: Vol. 5: Iss. 1, Article 2. Abstract: The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVC) presents an emerging legal issue that straddles the line between political science and law. The NPVC is an interstate compact in which member states will allocate all of their electoral votes to the winner of the national vote, as opposed to the traditional state vote. The bill would not be effective until states possessing a majority of the nation's electoral votes (270) have become members. If enacted by enough states, the NPVC would all but put an end to the Electoral College, and the United States would essentially move to a direct national vote for president, without a constitutional amendment. The most hotly contested legal issue surrounding the NPVC will likely be whether Congressional consent is required for the NPVC's member states to validly enter into the compact. This article ultimately concludes that Congressional consent would not be required for the NPVC to be effective, because member states would not be encroaching on the powers of non-member states. Additionally, I offer an alternative argument about "faithless electors" that breaks new ground in NPVC literature. The Supreme Court has said that one of the most relevant inquiries into the Congressional consent requirement is whether compacting states can unilaterally withdraw from the compact. I conclude that even though member states cannot withdraw from the NPVC after July 20 of a presidential election year, the individual electors can withdraw on behalf of the states. The Constitution does not bind electors to vote for a particular candidate, but only mandates that state legislatures commit to a method of allocation. Thus, compacting states can still compel their pledged electors to change their vote.

After two months of heavy siege, pro-Qaddafi forces suddenly withdrew from the city of Misrata on Saturday, leaving the rebel leaders perplexed as to whether this was a victory, or part of an elaborate trap.
Misrata is the only major rebel stronghold in Western Libya, and has been the site of a heavy barrage on rebel forces. Saturday was one of the bloodiest days in weeks: at least 24 people were killed and 75 were wounded, a doctor at a Misrata hospital told the AP.
Things seemed to turn around on Saturday. Qaddafi's forces abandoned all but two buildings in Misrata, according to the New York Times. But although crowds poured into Victory Square in Misrata, and there was finally a sense of liberation in the embattled city, rebel leaders were deeply hesitant to consider this a victory.
"It's a trick," said Col. Ahmed Bani, chief spokesman for the rebel forces in Benghazi. "He's playing deadly games. He can't give up Misrata this easily. He knows that if Misrata falls in our hands, it opens the way for Tripoli to fall in our hands."
Although captured government soldiers told rebel forces that they had been instructed to withdraw, Libya's deputy foreign minister, Khalid Kaim, said that the military had not withdrawn from Misrata, but ceased operations in order to give tribal leaders a chance to negotiate a resolution to the siege.
"Qaddafi is trying to project the view they are leaving it to the tribes, which is a great concern to us," said Jalil el-Gallal, a spokesman for the rebels' Transitional National Council. "It is a familiar tactic that he has used for a long time, but I think people understand now that he wants to start a tribal war."
Rebel leaders fear that if the government incites the tribal leaders to fight the rebels on its behalf, the attackers would evade NATO by blending in with civilians. Though the long siege at Misrata is broken at least for the moment, it may be merely the calm before the storm.

MARKET REPORT: Oil majors eye fracking giant Chesapeake Energy
Billionaire US investor and corporate raider Carl Icahn recently increased his stake in Chesapeake Energy to 10 per cent. Dealers on both sides of the Atlantic are convinced that the man who began his career as a Wall Street stockbroker in 1961 is confident that the second largest natural gas producer in the US, which is heavily into fracking, will soon attract a foreign cash bid in the region of $40 a share.
Dealers heard that BP (1.85p easier at 443.9p) and Royal Dutch Shell (20.5p off at 2039.5p) could both be running the slide-rule over the Oklahoma-based company whose shares yesterday touched a 52-week peak of $27.67.
Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. For Chesapeake, the primary profit in fracking comes not from selling the gas itself, but from buying and flipping the land that contains the gas.
After both the House and the Senate
voted to end the government shutdown and lift the debt ceiling at the
last minute, fund managers were still in no mood to chase the market
higher. The threat of a repeat stalemate early next year tempered their
enthusiasm and the Footsie traded 30 points lower before rallying to
finish 4.57 points up at 6576.16p.
Wall Street lost 34.36 points in the early stages to 15,339.47 after disappointing results from IBM and eBay had US traders worrying about corporate profitability.
Talk of a pending upbeat circular
helped discount airline easyJet climb 49p to 1328p. Broadcaster ITV rose
5p to 195.1p after Liberum Capital raised its fair valuation to 255p
from 230p.
Mexico-focused precious metals group
Fresnillo rose 15p to 952.5p after saying it was on track to hit silver
production targets this year after a good third-quarter. Selling ahead
of the group's third-quarter results on Tuesday dragged ARM 25p lower to
1005p. Liberum Capital is a seller and believes ARM's royalty outlook
to remain affected by slowing device demand amidst a shift to the
low-end, as well as gradual market share losses to Intel.
Wickes DIY group Travis Perkins lost
29p to 1749p after the company warned that it struggled in the warm
weather. Trading at Wickes and Tile Giant retail outlets remains
'challenging' with flat like-for-like sales growth over the quarter to
Good third-quarter production data
lifted Russian gold producer Polymetal Inter-national 45p to 570p. The
group produced 413,000 ounces of gold, well in excess of analysts'
expectations. Canaccord Genuity says it gives it a really easy
fourth-quarter target to hit the 1.2million ounce year-end target.
A combination of revived takeover talk and a massive bear squeeze helped Moneysupermarket.Com put on 6.5p to 154.2p.
Renishaw ran into heavy selling and
the close was 96p off at 1580p. Investors ran for the exit on hearing
that revenues for the quarter ended September 30 dropped to £79million
from £95.9million. Pre-tax profits slumped to £10.6million from
£27.7million last time.
Specialist veterinary pharmaceuticals
group Dechra shed 14p to 681p after it revealed that first-quarter
export revenues were lower than the previous year, which more than
offset the 'robust' growth of 4pc seen within its own sales and
marketing operations.
Speedy Hire, the provider of tools
and equipment services, eased 1.5p to 66.5p after saying revenues for
the six months to end-September was 0.1 per cent lower than last year.
Sellers dragged Prime Focus London
1.88p or 33pc lower to 3.75p after it was announced that Prime Focus
Ltd, which owns 65 per cent of the equity, served a notice calling for
a general meeting to consider a resolution to cancel the company's
shares on AIM.
Futura Medical closed at 68p, up
2.75p, on hearing that CSD500, the company's novel condom, has been
awarded the CE mark certificate. It means that it can be marketed in
all European territories and also a number of non-European territories
that recognise the CE mark process.
Buying on the back of a positive
trading update left Plus500 19p up at 147p. The online service provider
for retail customers wishing to trade Contract for Differences (CFDs)
internationally, said more than 62,000 active users trading across the
platform in August.
Avacta, which provides diagnostics
for human and veterinary purposes, improved 2.9 per cent to 0.9p after signing a
licence agreement with Blueberry Therapeutics.
Self-storage company Lok'n Store rose 4.5p to 196p after selling its site in Reading for £2.9million.
- Keep an eye on Akers Biosciences, 0.05p easier at 2.32p. Top-rated Henderson fund manager Rob Giles has personally bought a 6.5 per cent stake in the company which is involved in the development and sale of disposable diagnostic testing devices. It recently developed breathalyser technology for detecting lung cancer at early stages, as well as monitoring diabetics for their blood acid levels. It also plans to list its shares on Nasdaq.

Walt Becker | |||||
Morrow Books, 388 pages | |||||
A review by Lisa DuMond
If you've read Chariots of the Gods and the thousand or so
rehashing of those ideas, you've pretty much got it.
That's forgivable, though; anyone looking for theories and proof
should be reading scientific journals and Popular Science,
not novels. If we rely on fiction to solve all of life's puzzles
for us, we're going to be waiting a looooonnggg time. Even if it
never hurts to learn something along the way, the point here is
In that Link succeeds. And it fails.
Becker's story starts out with promise. Paleoanthropology is
an interesting field. Africa is an exotic and intriguing
location. The discovery of a major scientific find is
exciting. Add to that a cast of characters worthy of our
attention, a race against time, and a last-minute escape, and it
is a promising beginning for a novel.
Jack and Samantha, once engaged, are forced to work together in a
decidedly uncomfortable situation. Ricardo, a brilliant scientist
and long-time friend, is placed in the role of peacekeeper. Dorn,
ex-arms smuggler and continuing bad guy, wants Jack out of
Samantha's life, but, even more, he wants the wealth and power the
discovery will place in the hands of whoever controls it. The
CIA even works its way in, determined to obtain whatever
the scientists uncover.
There is action, emotion, and danger. Things keep hopping with
explosions, gunfire, natural disasters -- plenty of violence. Some
of the gore is portrayed in such wincing detail that it is
surprising that the consummation of two characters' passion is
covered in a one-sentence euphemism. Savagery is acceptable,
apparently, but not sensuality. Not a new attitude, unfortunately.
As long as the action is rolling, Link moves along at an
acceptable pace. It is in the exposition where things grind to a
halt. True, there is a lot of scientific and pseudo-scientific
material to cover, but there are more subtle ways to blend it
into the narrative. The "Yes, Miss Johnson, I believe that
could be the **** principle, the one that postulates..." approach
belongs to B-movies of the 50s and 60s. One long-winded recitation
of Jack's sociological and religious beliefs is a good reminder to
keep those door-to-door evangelists out of your house. And,
to never, ever date a scientist.

Get Out of Your Head
Has this happened to you? You step forward to give a presentation to a group, and moments before you begin you start to question yourself. "Do I have what they want?" "Have I forgotten something?" "Am I right for this?" If you're an introvert, I know this has happened to you. Truth is, if you .. read more
Is Introversion Holding You Back from Speaking?
Some of the most powerful speakers are introverts. Perhaps you've already heard of introvert Susan Cain or seen her TED talks about her book, Quiet. She is a powerful speaker and so are other introverts. President Obama, Matt Lauer, David Letterman, Diane Sawyer and Barbara Walters all speak and respond well. In the tech world Jonathon Colman .. read more
How to Forget You're an Introvert When Speaking
So many introverts get in their own way when they speak in front of groups simply because they focus on the negative about themselves while they speak – "not quite good enough", "boring conversationalist", "slow to speak" and then they experience the desire to run and hide from group exposure. At that point they avoid .. read more
Turn Away From Negative Self Talk
Last February I was told I won't be driving any time soon and that my right ankle would be in a cast anywhere from 8-12 weeks. An entrepreneur with her plate full of public speaking trainings and coaching appointments, my first thought was, "How am I going to manage without cancelling?" And my second thought was focused on .. read more

Follow the Leader – How this really CAN apply to you
As a child, I welcomed following. When my sister or parents told me what to do, I did it. They did the thinking, I did the doing. In my young mind, following was easy. Now as an adult, I see I sometimes manage a balancing act: sometimes I hesitate to follow and other times I .. read more
Are you willing to be great?
Someone once told me the following: Every day brings us someone to learn from and someone who needs to learn from us. My first response was, "I wonder if I will be willing to learn?" An introvert who has a history of not asking for help, I have often fallen into the trap of NOT .. read more

The Taste of Worship
"Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!" (v. 8).
- Psalm 34Music is not the only important consideration when we speak about worship. Taste is also a vital part of Christian worship, specifically when we gather around the Lord's Table to feed upon Him by faith.
The importance of taste in our experience is seen in how we use taste metaphorically to talk about other realities. Our referring to unpleasant sounds as "sour notes" emerged from the fact that when most perishable items turn sour they become unenjoyable, even inedible. We might describe people as having "sweet" dispositions because they bring us joy, as does eating sweet foods. Such imagery is also used in Scripture to help us develop holy affections. For example, Psalm 34:8 powerfully depicts the pleasure found in the Lord when it calls us to "taste" the goodness of God.
Our Father has used the sense of taste throughout history to help His people recall and understand the depths of salvation. For example, Israel ate bitter herbs during Passover (Ex. 12:8) to recall the bitterness of slavery before God rescued the nation from Egyptian bondage (1:8–14).
We who live under the new covenant have also been given directions for using taste in worship. When we celebrate the Lord's Supper, we are to use the elements He has consecrated lest we miss the lessons God wants us to learn from the holy meal. There are specific reasons why Jesus consecrated bread and wine, not Coca-Cola and candy (Matt. 26:26–29); looking at these elements helps us understand what they teach us when we partake of the Supper.
Bread is a staple food throughout the world and therefore reminds us that God sustains us by meeting our every need. Jesus is the "bread of life" (John 6:35), so eating bread in the sacrament shows us that we must feed on Christ spiritually to meet our spiritual needs, just as bread satisfies our physical hunger.
Though wine can taste bitter, the Lord gave it to "gladden" our hearts (Ps. 104:14– 15), and we often drink wine at parties and other celebrations. Bitter wine depicts the bitterness of Good Friday, when Jesus suffered shame on the cross. At the same time, the redemption Christ purchased there makes us glad; thus, it is right that we drink what was given to make us glad in remembrance of His great sacrifice.
Coram Deo
God designed the elements of the Lord's Supper to teach us specific things about His salvation, so it is appropriate for us to think carefully about what we learn from the taste of the bread and the wine as we gather at His Table. As we consume the bread and the wine, let us recall how Christ nourishes us just as bread nourishes our bodies and see that what was most bitter for Christ is now most joyous for those of us who trust in His name.

What's Better? The Border Collie Tricks or the Cinematography?
In what may be the only dog trick video with a trailer, we'd like to introduce you to Zoe, a Border Collie who might be smarter than all of us.
We'd love to tell you more about Zoe's human friend, who is the trainer behind the dog's remarkable tricks, but her site is all in Polish, and sadly, we can't decipher it (nor does a garbled Google translate help much). We'll have to let the tricks in the video speak for themselves.
So here's the trailer for Zoe's latest video -- we know, we've never seen a dog trick video with a trailer before. That's how spectacular the full-length Zoe video is.
And here's the full-length video.
What complements Zoe's skills is the brilliant photography in the video. The gorgeous footage brings brightness to Zoe's tricks, and watching dog and human interact is almost sublime. Zoe and her human seem to tacitly understand each other, their bond built on mutual trust and understanding.
Fortunately for us, while we may not be able to read the website Zoe's human made for her and her dog friends, the amazingness of dogs is a universal language. We can understand perfectly how awesome Zoe is by just watching the rest of her videos.

nearly as good is not as good as well as good and because of the rapid advancement of players forum hoping and getting their hands on end game builds without having the talent to back the builds then yes it diluted the game a bit... well a lot... it's like putting a sugar cube into a pitcher of sea water and wondering where the sweetness went.
Because of the affluence of the DHC's the player cure-all atm ships like the HEC and the Bug and the Defiant and such are getting these massive passes they don't really deserve. The Fleet defiant gets one shotted in Elite all the time when even in my measly little patrol escort, (I can't afford to get the Fleet patrol yet dam college and it's terrible ways) I have to be hit two-three times by her uber torps to be put down so that automatically pushes the defiant out of the race of sturdiest.
The Hec is not as good as players think it is. Because it can mount DJC's players can'd see it, and again it's a problem with the DHC's When you see players with what I like to all the active denial system (BFaW, wwhy do I call it this? It's actively denies plays to use stationable items on the field. IE Pet's Torps, mines, satellites) Because of the ability
TO ME A PLAYER WITH BFaW is FAR more important then a player with rapid fire and DHC's
(Is it true, not really, in one on ones DHC's will shred a soso player to a good player but to a player like me DHC's alone will not kill me but because they nerfed beams when befaw came out then my weapons will not actually kill you either so it will come to a draw if you are elite caliber in pvp. They are beginning to realize the mistakes they made with pvp and are releasing anti DHC weapons and items so keep that in mind.) But if they kill your pets you just saw them in half with your DHC's so you cant see how terrible and unbalanced it's layout is. The moment the pets ae gone the HEC try' to unsuccesfuly become a lowgrade escort.
But players take DHC's and let that be the be all cure and assume that blowing up is art of the territory, it shouldn't be. With my buld if i toss DHC's in her and remove my beams then i would be beyond uber.... I'd be like... what's a crazy cool word for my level....kittymomo? yeah, i'd be kittymomo level of awesome
but anywho, if you don't do pvp then i don't think you can call yourself elite because you don't know your weaknesses.. you have to est you weakness constantly and nothing quite scratches that itch gnawing at the back of your skull quite like pvp 1v1... am I bark or am I bite? Am I talented or am I a poser? Am I Me or am I you parading as me?

well, that's a tough call. based on calling a movie the worst movie ever, it is definitely 'the room', written and directed by tommy wiseau. However, unlike dumb and dumber, this guy didn't write the movie in an attempt to be so stupid as to make it funny. He geuinely believed it was a profound work of art, which is why I also think it is probably the best movie ever. It's terribly written, terribly shot, terribly acted, and terribly AMAZING.

Bonzo Goes To Bitburg Lyrics
Artist: The Huntingtons
Album: File Under Ramones
you got to pick up the pieces
come on, sort your trash
better pull yourself back together
maybe you've got too much cash
better call, call the law
when you gonna turn yourself in, yeah
you're a politician
don't become one of hitler's children
bonzo goes to bitburg
then goes out for a cup of tea
as i watched it on tv
somehow it really bothered me
drank in all the bars in town
for an extended foreign policy
pick up the pieces
my brain is hanging upside down
i need something to slow me down
ooh yeah, my brain is hanging upside down
and i need something to slow me down
shouldn't wish you happiness
wish her the very best
fifty thousand dollar dress
shaking hands with your highness
see through you like cellophane
you watch the world complain
but you do it anyway
who am i, am i to say
if there's one thing that makes me sick
it's when someone tries to hide behind politics
i wish that time could go by fast
somehow they manage to make it last

Analysis: Budget cutbacks could trigger 'clawback' on contracting dollars
Tuesday - 4/10/2012, 11:52am EDT
Joe Petrillo, procurement attorney, Petrillo and Powell
Procurement budgets for fiscal 2013 are shaping up to be less than 2012. For next year, agencies are requesting $700 billion for contractors, about 8 percent less than this year.
But it's still a big number, and the number of acquisition and contracting staff members in agencies is static or dropping slightly.
A cut to the federal workforce probably would mean a cut to contracts in "roughly the same proportion," said procurement attorney Joe Petrillo of Petrillo and Powell in an interview with The Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp.
But the federal workforce could also see an increase as public workers take over contracted work in a "belief or hope that that will be more economical," Petrillo said. In that case, contractors will see a "clawback" of their work, he said.

Very Disappointed !
By Deborah
from Ottawa
I was so disappointed when I opened the box with these rings. They are so "tiny" and too small to give any kind of colour or sparkle. Also, the snap closure didn't work, all around a dud. I couldn't believe that they came from Ammolite as they are suppose to be a reputable company. Not sure I will order anything else from this company. I've ordered rings, pendants in the past and all of them....yes, all of them were "Green" in colour. Nothing like they show on T.V. or the website. No colour and dark green. What Ammolite gems show is definitely not what I received and returned in the past.

Snap in closure not tight enough
By Carmen
from Toronto
VERY DISAPOINTED!!!!Lost one earing due to loose snap in closures,following a straight exchange..hoping for tighter ones. My worst fear was discovered just after the first wear..sooo disapointing.Carmen DeSousa
By Irene
from Mississauga On
These earrings look great and sparkle. They are comfortable to wear and love the snap in closure. Nice size and love the two tone look.
By Believes in Ammolite Gems
from Camrose, Alberta
The earrings are beautiful and are great with my ring and pendant. I gave it a 4 because I felt the post a little thick and that the back side of the earring was just plain would of look gorgeous with the topaz all around. Thank you.Donna
full of sparkle
By MARY ELLEN
from BURLINGTON
These are a medium size earring that are well made and full of sparkle. The rose gold centre adds a little extra interest. I like them and would recommend them for any age to wear. They are good for day or night wear. I have had no problems with the closures.
Love Them
By Darlene
from Lethbridge, Alberta
These earrings match perfectly with my beautiful ring. I am still not a fan of rose gold but I really do like this set.
broke but happy
By Broke but happy
from Oromocto, N. B.
Sorry to read the reviews as I cannot agree with any of them. Mine are sterling silver (#inside), the stones sparkle and, as for the size, find them perfect, not too large and not too small. The closure is awesome, so easy to use. Too bad all hoops didn't have a similar closure. I would recommend these to anyone wanting nice hoops, nice size and feel proud to wear them. Mine are rhodium plated as I really do not like rose gold. Nope, mine are really sweet, thank you.

Just okay
By Beautiful British Columbia
from Castlegar
I am keeping the earrings only because I want the complete set, they are small, nothing special once again, please try to get me the earrings to match the pendent and ring
( 9 of 9 customers found this review helpful)
By CJ
from Vancouver
The size of these earrings are nice, but I have to say that the my overall rating of these "Topaz" earrings is NOTHING SHORT OF PATHETIC.When I opened the box I was shocked that there was no sparkle AT ALL!! My friend and I tried every conceivable idea to try to get the stones to sparkle, or at minimum twinkle. Even used a flashlight on them in a dark room....NOTHING...ZIP...If they were not set in Sterling Silver, they could easily pass as a Cracker Jacks novelty gift.SUCH A SAD STATEMENT FOR AMMOLITE TO REPRESENT THESE. SO SAD FOR MY POCKETBOOK AND ME WASING MY TIME PACKAGING THEM BACK UP AND WRITING BAD REVIEWS.Come on TSC & AMMOLITE don't INSULT us with such poor quality.

How do you say something looks cheap without being insulting??? These had the same poor pink gold as it's ring partner...failed miserably on both counts. The closures don't line up properly, and the white topaz are minuscule, so barely visible to the naked eye. JUST NOT GOOD!!

Garton Ash: 'Truth commissions better than courts to deal with difficult past' in Turkey
A distinguished professor of contemporary history has said that truth commissions are better than courts for dealing with difficult past events, such as Turkey's Sept. 12, 1980 coup d'état, many people are responsible to different degrees.
"The problem with the prosecution is that it just takes a few individuals to account for criminal responsibility, whereas if you have a truth commission, a larger process, then you can explore the whole historical background and understand all the connections without having to do with [the] very specific thing of proving ... criminal responsibility," said Timothy Garton Ash, the Isaiah Berlin professorial fellow at St. Antony's College, Oxford, for Monday Talk....
During his working visit to İstanbul, Garton Ash answered our questions on the coup trial and elaborated on other topics.
You're in Turkey at the time of an important process; more than 30 years after the Sept. 12, 1980 military takeover, a criminal court has begun to hear the case against two retired, surviving leaders of the 1980 coup. Would you share your thoughts with us regarding this process?
It's something I thought about a great deal, because the general question is how ... countries deal with [a] difficult past, and almost every country in Europe and in the world have some difficult past -- a dictatorship, a military regime, an occupation, a war, a genocide, a civil war. We have Northern Ireland in Britain, the Basque Country in Spain, and Poland's relations with Jewish and Ukrainian citizens. Wherever you look, there is some such difficult issue. And it is important for a democracy that it knows its own history and faces up to [its] difficult past. In principle, it is a good thing. I myself think that putting very old men and women on trial can be a rather problematic way to go about this, because there are many individuals, many officers in a structure, in a system; that's what you have to get at. And unless it was one charismatic individual -- Adolf Hitler, [Francisco] Franco, Idi Amin or whoever it might be -- I worry about the use of a criminal trial many many years later for that purpose. To give you another example, something I personally experienced directly was the imposition of [a] so-called state of war in Poland in 1981, when General [Wojciech Witold] Jaruzelski used the Polish Army to crush the Solidarity movement. So I'm no friend of General Jaruzelski. Do I think that at the age of -- whatever it is, high 80s, early 90s -- he should still be in court? No, I think he should be in a truth commission where he's forced under oath to tell the truth, to apologize [for] what was done....

JENKINTOWN, Pa., Nov. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Where: The Connelly House
1212 Ludlow St. Philadelphia
When: Tuesday, 11/27 9am-12pm
We all recognize Black Friday and Cyber Monday as days to shop for bargains, and flood the malls and online shopping sites. Jenkintown Building Services is joining a new national initiative called #GivingTuesday, a day to give back to the community in varied and creative ways and develop giving opportunities.
JENKINTOWN will perform a service project on Tuesday, Nov. 27th, for the Connelly House, rappelling the 8 story building and gifting free window cleaning. Connelly House, a 79-unit residence, is the first LEED certified affordable housing facility in Philadelphia. It is a partnership between Project H.O.M.E. and Bethesda Project and provides services and housing to formerly homeless men and women in Center City Philadelphia.
Marty Tuzman, CEO of JENKINTOWN, states, "I recently heard about #GivingTuesday and its call to service. I immediately thought it was a perfect counter balance to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. #GivingTuesday is the opposite of shopping. It asks people and organizations to find a way they can give back. It is a reminder for us to pay attention during this holiday season to the meaningful and unique ways we can each uniquely help others and the world we live in."
#GivingTuesday is a new national initiative that has become increasingly popular since it was launched by the 92nd St Y, in New York, less than a year ago. It encourages gifting, volunteering and other ways to give back to the community. Over 1600 partners have joined. Its supporters, also called "partners" are from all around the country and from all three sectors -- private industry, charitable sector and the government. The partnerships are listed on the web site, www.givingtuesday.org.
JENKINTOWN is joining as a partner to this effort.
"I hope this new initiative becomes a part of how Philadelphians plan for the holiday season. I will be spreading the word among the companies and organizations who work with JENKINTOWN and encourage them to get involved. I bet that by next year, we will be hearing about hundreds of projects that will be taking place in our region. I am happy to add this initiative to the varied ways JENKINTOWN gives to the community," added Tuzman.
Jenkintown Building Services is an 80 year old company that provides varied building services, including window cleaning, power washing, facade services and post construction cleaning.

In another study, Trapnell (1959) examined the ecological results of woodland burning experiments at Ndola in Zimbabwe, a station located at 13 degrees S latitude and 1200 m in elevation. Twenty three years of study using several controlled burning regimes clearly showed that Brachystegia - Julbernardia woodland, which also contains many elements common with the drier woodlands on Madagascar, can be totally destroyed by regular late-season burning, precisely the type of burning regime practiced in Madagascar. VEGETATION DYNAMICS David Burney and his collaborators have also underlined another important factor that must be taken into consideration. It is clear that the climate and vegetation of Madagascar have changed dramatically over the time scale of tens of thousands of years, and that the extent of various vegetation types has expanded and contracted many times (Burney, 1987a, 1987b). This can be inferred from the current distribution of certain plant groups. For example, Hildegardia erythrosiphon is an important tree in the deciduous forests of the west. The genus is also represented in the heart of the wet forests of
the east by Hildegardia perrieri, which stands out remarkably by
being one of the extremely few deciduous species in otherwise
completely evergreen forest.
Similarly, Phyllarthron, a genus of Bignoniaceae endemic to Madagascar, has about a dozen species, all of which have phyllodes -- the modified petiole/rachis of a compound leaf that has lost its leaflets -- that function like leaf blades. These phyllodes are clearly adaptations to dry environments. Phyllarthron berniereanum occurs in the extremely dry south, where one would expect to see it. But a number of other species (e.g., P. articulatum, P. cauliflorum, and P. antongiliensis), all of which have these distinctive phyllodes, are found in some of the country's wettest forests. |

QC: The Canadian Transit Industry Recognizes Service Point for the Homeless
STM has been recognized by CUTA for its work to help outreach with the homeless.
Photo credit: STM
The Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA) June 9 presented its Corporate Leadership Award in the "Safety and Security" category to Service Point for the Homeless, a joint project between the STM and the Société de développement social de Ville-Marie (SDSVM).
The STM is particularly proud to see this project recognized once again following its Novae award last week. This reflects the social commitment of the Société, which chose to support an innovative and constructive approach when faced with the problem of the homeless in métro stations.
A new way of helping
In December 2012, the SDSVM, the STM and various corporate, social and medical partners joined forces to provide an innovative alternative for homeless people at Place-des-Arts station, notably by setting up a service point at Mission St. Michael. Thanks to this project, a social worker, in collaboration with metro constables from the STM, meets with homeless people in the métro to offer them a listening ear, help and a reference service. In one year, 430 interventions took place in the métro, of which 140 led to a medical or social consultation at Mission St. Michael. In light of the positive results of phase 1, four other métro stations have been added for a period of three years: Berri-UQAM, Bonaventure, Atwater and McGill. Phase 2 will benefit from the efforts of two additional social workers.

It's only when the tide goes out that you learn who's been swimming naked.
- Warren Buffett (1992)
If Warren Buffett, the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A ) (NYSE: BRK-B ) , repeats an idiom on numerous occasions throughout multiple decades, then it's probably not a bad idea to figure out what he means by it. His is, after all, the greatest investor of all time.
And so it is with his warning that "It's only when the tide goes out that you learn who's been swimming naked." By my count, he's written some variation of this in four separate shareholder letters spanning the years 1992 to 2007.
Buffett, a bathing suit, and Hurricane Andrew
I trust it's obvious that Buffett isn't speaking literally here. While the 83-year-old billionaire is fond of sexual metaphors -- in 1974, for instance, he described feeling like an "oversexed man in a harem" thanks to an abundance of bargains in the stock market at the time -- there's little evidence he either skinny-dips himself or hangs around others that do.
Instead, Buffett is referring to the more mundane tendency of financial companies to overextend when times are good only to regret their imprudence when the tide eventually (and inevitably) turns.
The year 1992 serves as an apt example. In August, large swaths of Florida and the Gulf Coast were ravaged by Hurricane Andrew. An estimated 63,000 homes were destroyed, causing the deaths of 65 people, and leaving roughly 175,000 other Americans homeless. It was the costliest hurricane in U.S. history, with a final tally of $26 billion worth of damage -- adjusted for inflation, that's equivalent to $43.7 billion today.
The impact on the insurance industry was equally alarming. As Buffett recounted in his shareholder letter that year, a number of small insurers were destroyed, a major insurer "escaped insolvency solely because it had a wealthy parent that could promptly supply a massive transfusion of capital," and countless others were awakened to the fact that their own insurance against catastrophe, known as "reinsurance," was far from adequate.
In the absence of Hurricane Andrew, these companies would have continued to tout their underwriting discipline and profitability. Because of it, however, many were rendered in or on the cusp of insolvency. And herein lies Buffett's point that you only know who's been swimming naked when the tide goes out.
Insurance companies aren't the only businesses that swim naked
The validity of Buffett's observation extends beyond insurance companies. Most notably, the business of banking is just as susceptible to the same tendency to overindulge when times are good and then purge when the credit cycle inverts.
Perhaps nothing illustrates this better than the housing debacle that first reared its head in 2007. Mortgage lenders, including many of the biggest and best known banks in the country, had spent the previous five years underwriting trillions of dollars' worth of subprime loans to aspiring homeowners who had little to no hope of ever paying them back.
Yet, along the way, lenders were assuring their investors that everything was fine; that they were continuing to apply the same level of caution in the underwriting process as ever before. As late as July 2007, for instance, the CEO of Wachovia, the nation's fourth largest bank by assets at the time, was praising his bank's balance sheet growth and risk management.
In risk management, I am particularly happy with their position in a very difficult environment.
Net charge-offs continue to be a very low 14 basis points. [Nonperforming assets] increased for us slightly in this quarter; that was primarily in mortgage. But if you compare our mortgage company to almost any other in the industry, our NPAs are outstanding, and our NPAs at a company level would have to be considered outstanding in comparison to our peer group.
Lastly, we are very comfortable with where we sit today in a conservative position in virtually all asset classes as markets reprice risks
Sadly, nothing could have been further from the truth. A little over a year later, Wachovia's losses thanks to imprudent underwriting rendered it insolvent, forcing the government to step in and broker its sale to Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC ) . To Buffett's point, in turn, it's only when the tide goes out that you know who's been swimming naked.
The Foolish takeaway
The takeaway here is simple. At least when it comes to insurance companies, banks, and other leveraged financial companies, investors would be wise to apply a healthy dose of skepticism to the pronouncements of executives. Take these for what they are: self-interested statements by people who are heavily compensated to make them.
