Can I access static member variables of a class using dot notation or should I stick in access operator which is double colon?
Take the 2-minute tour
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
If you have an instance variable you may use dot operator to access static members if accessible.
You must use the double colon access operator. This is the only valid way of accessing static members from a class name. |
It's not necessarily the "can you" question (because the compiler will often let you off with warnings), but the "should you" question. Static data members are not part of the object, and therefore should not be treated as such. Accessing a static data member as a "normal" data member can make the code less readible too, since it may imply different semantics (though this is usually unlikely). |

Album Review
In 1983,
Michael Jackson
recorded "This Is It," a song he composed with songwriter
Paul Anka
, and when rehearsal footage for
's planned concert residency at London's O2 Arena was turned into a tribute documentary in the wake of his death, the previously lost tune became the movie's title number. Selections from
Michael Jackson's This Is It
is an EP drawn from the film's soundtrack album; it featured the single version of "This Is It," an alternate mix featuring an orchestra, rare demo recordings of "She's Out of My Life," "Beat It," and "Wanna Be Startin' Something," and
reciting his poem "Planet Earth."

We disassembled the dryer, which was really easy because we viewed a video on YouTube, to determine the problem. One of the support rollers had all but disintegrated. It appeared as if the belt was in good condition, but we decided to order a new one as well as the drum support rollers. We found PartSelect online, and using the model number of the dryer, we were able to determine the precise parts we needed to do the repair. We also ordered some related parts in case we found the problem to be more extensive than originally thought. The parts came within two days. We were able to view videos on the PartsSelect website for step by step instructions. The dryer was surprisingly easy to repair, and with the new parts runs like new! As a note - we didn't open any packaging until we were ready to use the part. We were able to return the unused parts for full credit. I couldn't even get a repairman to come through my door for what it cost to repair our dryer.

News coverage of GROM, the Polish Special Forces, is interesting because it suggests that the Poles understand the idea of niche marketing. Look at it this way: leaving aside defending one's own soil, which everyone has to do and for which everyone in Europe depends to some extent on the United States, the question you have to ask about international influence is this: how does a country exert influence if it has modern skills and technology but doesn't have the resources to be an independent military power? How do you get bang from a limited military buck?
The answer chosen by Poland is to develop a useful segment of military capability -- elite Special Forces -- that can be drawn on by the U.S. and/or the broader international community in larger operations, or can exert behind-the-scenes influence on developing situations. Special Forces units are smaller, cheaper and less visible than, say, infantry divisions, so it's easier to build them without a big public presence, a strain on the budget, or a huge recruiting drive. But modern war has grown very dependent on Special Forces, because of the shift in emphasis to defeating shadowy forces and the need to forestall invaded countries from destroying themselves (e.g., the threat of Iraq firing its own oil wells). And countries like the U.S., with no matter how big their militaries, may thus find it very helpful to be able to call in allied Special Forces units during times of crisis, especially crisis on multiple fronts. That gives the Poles a chip to get in the game, and as we've seen, it has made them a bigger player in Iraq's reconstruction.

text: What a difference a year can make. Especially in the handset business. With new technology leading the transformation, change is coming to us at warp-speed. Before you know it, new is old. Just five years ago, only 25 percent of all Indonesians 14 years of age and over had a mobile phone. They were all dumb phones, or feature phones as they are politely called. Now, over 80 percent has a handset and the smartphone-set among that big and still-growing universe already hit 26 percent. In fact, of all the handsets bought in the last 12 months, 35 percent were smartphones. The double-digit growth of smartphone users we are now witnessing every 90 days means more than 50 percent of the population will have gone "smart" in less than five years. That trajectory could have a much steeper rate of climb if competition drives the price of smartphones down significantly. Predictably, the big cities are leading the way into this smarter world. Greater Jakarta or Jabotabek as it is affectionately called, currently contributes 42 percent of all converts. But that will change as new takers emerge from other cities and towns in Java and beyond. The race is on, in all five major islands. The changing landscape is taking its toll too in this extremely competitive business. For almost a decade, Nokia ruled the international market as the unchallenged leader. Today, Samsung has raced to the top globally and Apple is the rage particularly in the Western world. With web-entrepreneurs responding to handset development with equal gusto, there's very little you can't do with that gadget in your pocket. I have a Samsung Note and I am discovering new features every day. What next? I feel sorry for the big Mac sitting on my desk at home, its days are numbered. The big plasma screen I bought just two years ago is already a dinosaur. They should be putting "use by" dates on all new gadgets so we have a better understanding of shelf-life. With over 50 million users and growing by about 3 million new entrants each week, Indonesia is currently Facebook country No. 4 in the world, after the United States, Brazil and India. Nothing like a good chat and Indonesians are second to none. As the apps get better in industry after industry, old habits and traditional ways of doing things will change even more rapidly. Banking and bill payment are already at the tip of our fingers. Airline and hotel reservations, street directions to security applications, nothing is beyond imagination. That day has dawned. If we can imagine it today, it can become a reality tomorrow.While Indonesians are among the early adapters of the digital universe, a key issue for the country's economic future is being overlooked. Indonesians are taking to new developments quickly, but they are not making those developments happen. Not nearly enough, not quickly enough. A leisurely trawl through Indonesian ecommerce websites will reveal the true state of affairs. There is nothing resembling a commodities exchange, very little that is useful in the realms of agriculture, science or medicine. Even retail looks like its still stuck in the 20th century. There is some gloss, some glitz, but very little to be really proud of. We would all struggle to name an Indonesian website that is making a major contribution to society in any tangible way. Nothing really noteworthy, outside of news and gossip. By itself, access and exposure to the digital world and all its wonders are good stimulants for young Indonesians. Emulation of the world's best and brightest will foster new entrepreneurs. Leaving the young to find their own way forward is one way to look at Indonesia's digital future. Surely, there are others. Any thoughts on encouraging, fostering and incentivising a whole new generation of e-entrepreneurs would be a worthwhile contribution to Indonesia's future. We need to recognise the fact that quality education is available to a tiny fraction of society. Education helps ignite imagination. The economic future is going to be increasingly influenced by the worldwide web. Without imagination, technology alone cannot shape tomorrow.Anybody who believes that the United States of America is in economic decline needs to take a reality check. Who are the giants of today's digital universe? Google, Facebook, eBay, Amazon to name but a few are all American-owned. There are hundreds more, many thousands still in the pipeline. On a different scale but punching way beyond its size is the tiny nation of Israel. Unsung, rarely heard of, its "Silicon Wadi" is designing new chips for the likes of Intel, setting up web-based security systems, as well as parts for our handsets. If the first step is to recognize the problem the second is to talk about it. If an industry seminar is what it takes, will the leaders of the nation's telecom sector please stand up?My opinions are influenced by Roy Morgan Single Source, the country's largest syndicated survey. More than 26,000 respondents are interviewed every year. Every quarter, the data is projected to reflect 87 percent of the population 14 years of age and over.

Curwell, Steve, Deakin, Mark, Cooper, Ian, Paskaleva-Shapira, Krassimira, Ravetz, Joe and Babicki, Dominica (2005) Citizens' expectations of information cities: implications for urban planning and design. Building Research and Information, 33 (1). pp. 55-56. ISSN 0961-3218
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract/Description
The European Union has made the development of a vibrant knowledge-based economy a key policy objective, and increasingly national and local governments worldwide are seeking to harness information and communication technologies to provide government services more effectively and for the benefit of their citizenry. The paper reports on the first phase of the ongoing European Union IntelCities integrated project that seeks to integrate electronic governance of cities and urban planning. The background to the project in terms of the e -Europe Action Plan is explored and the outcome of surveys of user needs and requirements carried out in the cities of Marseilles (France), Siena and Rome (Italy), Helsinki (Finland), Leicester and Manchester (UK), and Dresden and Berlin (Germany) are explained. The outcomes identify a range of implications for digital or electronic planning in terms of increasing the efficiency in e-urban planning and the need to develop digital methodologies for widening public participation. Thus, the importance of e-skills development in new forms of e-planning for planners, developers and citizens is highlighted and shown to be important for achieving a wider e-enabled sustainable knowledge society.

Bulgarian as a written language dates back to the end of the 9th century, i.e. from the time of Old Bulgarian.
Proto-Slavic | Old Church Slavonic | Bulgarian | Czech | Macedonian | Polish | Russian | Slovak | Slovenian | Serbian |
*dʲ | ʒd | ʒd | z | gʲ | ʣ | ʒ | ʣ | j | ʥ |
*tʲ | ʃt | ʃt | ʦ | kʲ | ʦ | ʨ | ʦ | ʧ | ʨ |
*gt/kt | ʃt | ʃt | ʦ | kʲ | ʦ | ʨ | ʦ | ʧ | ʨ |
Between the 12th and 15th centuries the structure of the Bulgarian language changed quite radically. Few of these changes are to be observed in contemporary written records, thanks to the tendency towards archaicism driven by a desire to preserve the purity of the Cyrilo-Methodian tradition.
However the changes which had affected the Bulgarian language were too great to hide - in many manuscripts from this period there are hints as to the state of the spoken language. Many of the characteristic traits of Middle Bulgarian started to appear in the Old Bulgarian period but reached their full extent from the 12th century onwards.
As regards Morphology, during this period a confusion of case endings is to be observed along with the increasing use of prepositions in syntax. This led to the loss of case (scholars dispute whether this has anything to do with phonetic changes such as the confusion of the nasals, or whether it is purely due to the influence of the Balkan linguistic union). Also typical is the use of the prefixes по- and най- to indicate comparative and superlative degrees of the adjective.
There are also signs of the emergence of a post-positive definite article (the earliest written example is from the Добрейшево Евангелие - "злыотъ рабъ"). The Old Bulgarian relative pronouns иже, яже and еже are replaced by interrogative pronouns with the suffix -то: който, която, което.
A new class of verbs develops with stems in -a-, conjugating like the old athematic verbs e.g. имам, имаш etc. Another characteristic of this period is the emergence of a shortened form of the future tense marker (ще in the modern literary language and in many dialects, but other dialects have forms such as че and ше, all from the 3rd person singular present tense form of the verb hotjeti). The Renarrative verb form appears, which some scholars say has its roots in Old Bulgarian, while others attribute it to Turkish influence.

The genus Sarcocaulon (DC.) Sweet has generally been accepted as distinct from Monsonia L. since it was first separated from it in 1826. For succulent enthusiasts this distinction is quite convenient, because the small genus of 14 species (Moffett, 1979) contains a group of readily identifiable succulents, characterised by having more or less woody succulent stems that are often spiny. A key feature resides in the stem composition, with the hard, shiny bark being impregnated with flammable waxes, giving rise to the common name of "Bushman's Candle".

History and Purpose of Portico
Portico (MH100) is a three-credit course for first year students in the Carroll School of Management. The course offers the first year undergraduate business student a unique opportunity to
- develop a nuanced method for recognizing and responding to the ethical challenges of contemporary business;
- situate contemporary business within the global and historical perspective;
- learn about business through engagement with faculty and practitioners;
- raise questions about personal aspirations and the opportunities available in the world of work.
In 2005, Dean Andrew C. Boynton became dean of the Carroll School of Management at Boston College. In a letter to faculty and alumni he stated that "we must more effectively embed into the curriculum and into the minds and hearts of our students the enduring concepts underlying Jesuit and Catholic values of education." With this vision in mind, an interdisciplinary team of faculty and staff from throughout Boston College were brought together to discuss the Carroll School curriculum. The product of their conversations was Portico.
- 2005 - Dean Boynton begins tenure as dean of the Carroll School. His vision includes undergraduate excellence, ethics in the curriculum, and an Ignatian concept of leadership within Carroll School undergraduates.
- 2006 to 2008 - An interdisciplinary team of faculty is gathered to discuss the Carroll School undergraduate curriculum. A freshman seminar is designed. The team names it Portico, symbolizing the formational and developmental aspirations of the course.
- Spring 2008 - The Educational Policy Committee votes to authorize two pilot sections of Portico for Fall 2008.
- Summer 2008 - A syllabus is finalized and a group of students register for two pilot sections.
- Fall 2008 - Portico is officially piloted in the 2008-2009 academic year. Professor Richard Spinello and Dean Richard Keeley teach the original two sections of Portico.
- Fall 2009 - The entire Carroll School class of 2013 enrolls in the required seminar, Portico. 505 students each take one of 23 sections of the course.Spring/Summer 2010 - Portico team of faculty meet to refine the course for the class of 2014. During the summer, students meet with their Portico advisor during orientation.

News Release
Invoking Obama, young parliamentarians call for change in India
While the youth vote in the United States carried Barack Obama to victory in this month's presidential elections, young Indian parliamentarians speaking at the World Economic Forum's 24th India Economic Summit, held in partnership with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), called on their countrymen to pursue the same spirit of change. "From our young sportsmen, our young businessmen, our young politicians," said Rahul Bajaj, Chairman, Bajaj Auto; Member of Parliament, India, hopefully we are going to have more than one Barack Obama!"
New leadership and new ideas are desperately needed to address critical challenges faced by India. First among these, said Deepender Singh Hooda, Member of Parliament, India, is "the resurgence of divisions based on caste, religion and region." Moreover, Hooda pointed out that, while India has enjoyed strong economic growth overall, certain sectors of society have been left behind and rising inequality is increasing class tension. Bihar is the most equal state in India: as states become more prosperous, they become more unequal. The shift from an agriculturally-based economy to services and manufacturing also increases tensions over issues like land rights.
Fundamentally, Hooda held, the Indian political system needs to evolve. "The difficulty that all of us face when we try to bring a change," he said, "is the whole momentum of our system that has been built over successive ages of bureaucracy, which resists change. But believe me, we are trying." Naveen Jindal, Member of Parliament, India; Young Global Leader, agreed: "In a true sense I feel that India is not even a democracy, it's a bureaucracy," and administrators, not politicians, have the power.
Part of reasserting control over governance is asserting a new design for the educational system, which is currently not a topic for political debate in India as much as it is in Western democracies.
Naveen Jindal, Member of Parliament, India and a Young Global Leader, suggested a type of voucher system wherein instead of government schools providing subsidized education, students' families would receive the sum directly and be given the freedom to choose where to send their children. Jindal also called for new initiatives to promote family planning and stem unwieldy population growth. He also called for developing nuclear power sources and hydropower.
Jindal and Hooda both agreed on the need to consolidate national and state elections into five year cycles, and Hooda went a step further, saying that elections at the panchayat levels should be included at the same time. Both agreed that, ideally, the BJP and Congress Parties would put bickering aside and form a unity government to press the business of the people; but both also agreed that it is unlikely. Still, Hooda held out hope: "Politics is the art of the impossible," he said.

Both Cullum and Curtis, after spending countless hours listening to live ducks, say they have categorized four types of sounds generated by mallard hens. Recognizing that ducks, like people, speak in different pitches and tones, they have developed a calling style that is a mix of what they consider the basic sounds. This is a personalized method that works for them. "There's what we call a fine hen, who hardly opens her throat, and whose call tapers off at the end. And a coarse hen, which will open her throat more wide open. A lazy hen will drag out the notes. And the bouncin' hen, she'll hit a couple of notes and then just bounce it all the way to the bottom, excited," Cullum says. "Those are the four main sounds you'll hear. Get them together with two guys calling and it sounds like a lot of ducks." Game-call maker Will Primos of Jackson, Mississippi, says team calling may have been around as long as duck calls themselves. Putting a label on this technique may or may not be appropriate. "No doubt, it's more effective to have more than one caller," Primos says. "I don't do anything but team call. But, we don't really call it that, because we probably take it for granted." Primos and his cohorts observe a few basic rules when working together trying to pull ducks to their decoys. "There is definitely a right and wrong way," Primos says. "What we do, let's say one guy sees a group of six mallards. He knows right then they need a certain call. He latches on to them. The first thing I do is look at that person to see where he is looking, where the ducks are, because I don't want to be moving around and having them see me. I want to know where the birds are. Then, we key into the birds, feeding off what he is doing. You don't want three guys doing the comeback or the hail call at one time. "What we are trying to do is add to what he's doing. The guy who latches onto the birds first is in control, and the rest of us are supporting him. If you watch and listen to ducks on the water, one old hen is doing most of the work. We try to mimic that."

Multi-published Canadian author, Jude Mason, writes in a variety of genres and adores stretching the boundaries. The bulk of her work has been D/s and femdom, but she enjoyed straying into fetish, pulp fiction, f/f, paranormal and sci-fi, and has become very fond of all things m/m of late. A picture, a smell, an unexpected glimpse of flesh, or a load of soil in the back of a pick-up, are all fodder for her writing. Her male characters run the gamut from the alpha male ruling his women with an iron fist, to a simpering purple-clad boy-toy, whose only desire is to please. As diverse and as richly depicted, her women find themselves in a myriad of exotic and erotic situations, and are as lusty as their male counterparts, of not more so.

text: So happy that this article is here. As an undergraduate student, I plan on going to school for a long time. However, a lot of my peers don't believe me, but my husband and I planned having our family young. I've been maximizing my units each semester with online classes so that I can spend time with my son, be a stay at home mother and get my degree finished 20 units at a time. I know that it gets more difficult as my academic level progresses, but so far everything has been very manageable. The way I see it, when you know what you want it life, you just know it. There's no denying that I want a professional career, quality time with my family, and enough years after my son has grown up to tackle any other dreams I have.

The only difference between this and one I make is like one other suggested is vegetable broth, and I also add a sweet potato to make it a little heartier. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I try it this way next time
Not having a pressure cooker, I just made the soup and added ham. Wow! I love this!
Very good soup. I added ham and the broth which I pressure cooked first and pulled the meat off. I also added celery, a potato, and garlic in a jar already cleaned and chopped from Costco (3T). Since I didn't have enough ham broth, I supplemented it with low sodium chicken broth. I added the carrots (shredded) later as a last step for 15 min.

CMS today announced the 14 communities around the nation that have been picked for its three-year pilot project to eliminate unnecessary hospital readmissions that cost Medicare billions of dollars annually in preventable care.
A study published this month in the New England Journal of Medicine found that nearly 20% of Medicare patients in 2003-2004 were back in the hospital within 30 days of a discharge, and that 34% were rehospitalized within 90 days. The study estimated the cost of the unplanned rehospitalizations in 2004 at $17.4 billion.
"Our data show that nearly one in five patients who leave the hospital today will be readmitted within the next month, and that more than three-quarters of these readmissions are potentially preventable," CMS Acting Administrator Charlene Frizzera says. "This situation can be changed by approaching health care quality from a community wide perspective, and focusing on how all of the members of an area's health care team can better work together in the best interests of their shared patient population."
The Care Transitions Project sites will operate in: Providence, RI; Upper Capitol Region, NY; Western Pennsylvania; Southwestern New Jersey; Metro Atlanta East, GA; Miami; Tuscaloosa, AL; Evansville, IN; Greater Lansing Area, MI; Omaha, NE; Baton Rouge; North West Denver, CO; Harlingen, TX; and Whatcom County, WA.
The Care Transitions Project will continue in all 14 communities through summer 2011.
CMS says the pilot project is designed to improve healthcare processes so that patients and caregivers have the tools, training, and procedures the need to reduce unnecessary readmissions. The program will promote "seamless transitions" from the hospital to the home, skilled nursing facility, or home healthcare.
While hospitals have been supportive of the idea of reducing hospital readmissions, many executives are concerned about a CMS plan to reduce reimbursements for hospitals with high readmission rates. Ed Hannon, CEO of McDowell Hospital in Marion, NC, and president of the American Hospital Association's Small or Rural Hospitals Governing Council, says that many readmissions are beyond the control of hospitals. He says that smaller hospitals with lower patient volumes could be particularly hard hit if only a handful of patients are readmitted.
Hannon told Congress last month that the effort to save about $8 billion by trimming payments to hospitals with high 30-day readmission rates may be a one-size-fits-all solution to a complex series of problems. "Any provision that does not recognize legitimate reasons for readmission may become an obstacle to patient care and safety," he says.
Barry M. Straube, MD, CMO for CMS, says the pilot project will look at the particular needs and resources in each of the 14 communities. "Rather than focusing on one global problem and trying to apply a one-size-fits-all solution across the country, Care Transitions experts will look in their own backyards to learn why hospital re-admissions occur locally and how patients transition between health care settings," says Straube, who is also director of CMS' Office of Clinical Standards & Quality. "Based on this community-level knowledge, Care Transitions teams will design customized solutions that address the underlying local drivers of readmissions."
CMS will monitor the success of this project by watching the rates at which patients in these communities return to the hospital. Readmission rates for hospitals have been tracked by CMS for some time, and will be available to consumers later this year through the Hospital Compare Web site at www.hospitalcompare.hhs.gov.
Each of the 14 communities is led by a state Quality Improvement Organization whose job is to refine care delivery systems. The QIOs are: Quality Partners of Rhode Island; IPRO Inc. (in New York); Quality Insights of Pennsylvania; Healthcare Quality Strategies Inc. (in New Jersey); Georgia Medical Care Foundation Inc.; FMQAI (in Florida); AQAF (in Alabama); Health Care Excel (in Indiana); MPRO (in Michigan); CIMRO of Nebraska; Louisiana Health Care Review; Colorado Foundation for Medical Care; TMF Health Quality Institute (in Texas); and Qualis Health (in Washington).

This article uses Sen's Capability Approach primarily to conceptualise an evaluative framework for organizational talent management strategies but also to suggest a more human basis for identifying and recognising talent. Challenges presented by the Capability Approach to organizations in relation to workforce development are elaborated and are used to frame the development of a set of principles and questions that corporate leaders and human resource practitioners can use to evaluate proposed or existing talent programmes from a practical and ethical standpoint. The article provides an early contribution to the social and ethical evaluation of talent programmes and provides a basis for new theorizing in the field.

Raschle, T; Arigoni, D; Brunisholz, R; Rechsteiner, H; Amrhein, N; Fitzpatrick, T B (2007). Reaction mechanism of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate synthase: detection of an enzyme-bound chromophoric intermediate. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 282(9):6098-6105.
| Accepted Version 2MB View at publisher |
Vitamin B6 is an essential metabolite in all organisms. De novo synthesis of the vitamin can occur through either of two mutually exclusive pathways referred to as deoxyxylulose 5-phosphate-dependent and deoxyxylulose 5-phosphate-independent. The latter pathway has only recently been discovered and is distinguished by the presence of two genes, Pdx1 and Pdx2, encoding the synthase and glutaminase subunit of PLP synthase, respectively. In the presence of ammonia, the synthase alone displays an exceptional polymorphic synthetic ability in carrying out a complex set of reactions, including pentose and triose isomerization, imine formation, ammonia addition, aldol-type condensation, cyclization, and aromatization, that convert C3 and C5 precursors into the cofactor B6 vitamer, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. Here, employing the Bacillus subtilis proteins, we demonstrate key features along the catalytic path. We show that ribose 5-phosphate is the preferred C5 substrate and provide unequivocal evidence that the pent(ul)ose phosphate imine occurs at lysine 81 rather than lysine 149 as previously postulated. While this study was under review, corroborative crystallographic evidence has been provided for imine formation with the corresponding lysine group in the enzyme from Thermotoga maritima (Zein, F., Zhang, Y., Kang, Y.-N., Burns, K., Begley, T. P., and Ealick, S. E. (2006) Biochemistry 45, 14609-14620). We have detected an unanticipated covalent reaction intermediate that occurs subsequent to imine formation and is dependent on the presence of Pdx2 and glutamine. This step most likely primes the enzyme for acceptance of the triose sugar, ultimately leading to formation of the pyridine ring. Two alternative structures are proposed for the chromophoric intermediate, both of which require substantial modifications of the proposed mechanism.

Driving in Style: Promo Cars of the 1950s and 60s
The innovative and flamboyant car designs of the 1950's are now iconic. To whet consumers' appetites for the "latest thing," the Big Three American automakers (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler) began to release new models with slightly redesigned features every year. To promote the new vehicles, dealers distributed highly-detailed plastic models or "promos." Like their full-size versions, these colorful miniatures boasted streamlined tail fins and polished chrome grilles, reflections of the period's Space Age design and general prosperity. Given to potential buyers and their children, these salesman's samples are highly collectible today.

A Gift: Selections from the Cleve Carney Bequest
In 2014, Elmhurst Art Museum was bequeathed nearly 300 works from the collection of Cleve Carney (1939-2013), a longtime Board member, donor and supporter of the museum. The largest gift in EAM's history, these paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints and video installations by an international group of artists will be a significant addition to the collection, broadening the scope of the museum's holdings of contemporary art. This presentation highlights select work from the donation and serves as a tribute to the vision, the patronage and the generosity of Cleve Carney, who will be truly missed.

On the Brink: New Work by Nnenna Okore
EAM presents new work by internationally celebrated sculptor Nnenna Okore. Through repetitive, labor-intensive processes, Okore transforms discarded and organic materials like burlap, newspapers, plastic bags and twine into large-scale wall hangings and installations. Okore-s dramatic and undulating forms float in and across space, often casting shadows on their surrounds. Influenced by the textures, colors and landscapes of her Chicago milieu as well as the more rural environment of the small town in Nigeria where she was raised, Okore's new fiber and paper works explore the fluidity of life, finding beauty in the inevitable processes of aging and decay. Okore is a professor of art at Chicago's North Park University and was the recipient of a Fulbright Scholar Award in 2013.

Ph.D. thesis, University of Birmingham.
| AbstractGlucocorticoid (GC) excess is characterised by central obesity, hypertension, proximal myopathy, insulin resistance and in some cases overt type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the precise molecular mechanisms responsible for these observation have not been defined in detail. We have shown that GCs reduce the insulin sensitivity of skeletal muscle by impacting upon the insulin signalling cascade at several critical points: IRS1, PI3K and AS160. Furthermore, we have described a novel role of GC, and GCs with insulin, in the regulation of intramyocellular lipid metabolism, which may underpin GC-induced insulin resistance in this tissue. We have also highlighted the importance of 11\(\beta\)-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11\(\beta\)-HSD1), which controls local GC availability, as a critical regulator of skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity, and have provided new insight into the insulin sensitizing actions of selective 11\(\beta\)-HSD1 inhibitors. In summary, these data highlight the importance of GCs, and pre-receptor GC metabolism in the regulation of lipid metabolic pathways and response to insulin stimulation in skeletal muscle. |

Im not sure how long the "usual" boot time is but I can tell you from my experiences that the longest boot I have ever had is about 5-10 minutes max. Im not sure if there is any harm in pulling the battery and trying to boot again but I would wait for someone who is more knowledgable than I to try that.
Posted 21 June 2010 - 02:57 AM
Well the first time booting up after a ROM change will take quite a bit. Like JonWest1021 said, it would usually take 5-10 minutes but I don't think it should take 20 minutes like it is doing for you. Did you make sure you followed the directions to flash exactly? I would suggest doing a wipe and reflash all the files again as that usually works for me when something seems wrong.
Hope that somewhat helps

Thanks for the help everyone. I've followed the instructions very carefully. Wiped, Installed Danger SPL, Installed CM5, Installed gapps, but everytime i boot for the first time it sits idle on that "Tmobile G1" splash screen for fifteen or twenty minutes until i get disgusted and pull the battery. I don't really know what else to try, I've been at it all day. The only thing i havent tried is updating the radio but I have no idea if that would be related or not, I know the one on there was one of the ones listed as compatible with DangerSPL. If anyone has any tips they're much appreciated.
Posted 21 June 2010 - 04:05 AM
Just FYI, I reinstalled it several times and on one of them it magically worked. Thanks for everyones help.

On March 24, 2015, the Santa Clara Valley Water District Board of Directors unanimously passed a resolution extending the call for a 30 percent reduction in water use through 2015.
Rebate Increases:
Water conservation rebates have increased! As of April 22, 2014, certain rebate amounts for several key programs have doubled, while others have increased significantly. These increases are temporary, through December 31, 2015, and certain restrictions apply.
As of January 1, 2015, these programs have also changed:
It's easy to save 20 gallons a day! We use over one half of our water on landscaping, so the biggest water savings is in the landscape! One way to cut down on water use in the garden is to incorporate organic matter in your soil. A three inch layer of compost turned into your soil at a six inch depth (about a shovel blade depth) is estimated to increase the water holding capacity of that soil two and a half times more than it would normally hold. Soils augmented in this manner can provide plants with water for up to one week between watering. The savings don't have to stop there. You could receive a rebate by upgrading your irrigation system or converting your high water using landscape with climate appropriate landscape. Visit save20gallons.org or call the Water Conservation Hotline at (408) 630-2554 to find out if you qualify prior to making any changes.

>Crescent City California News, Sports, & Weather | The Triplicate
The upper division has six teams this year while the lower division has 10 teams. There are also 11 co-ed teams signed up this season. The co-ed regular season kicked off Tuesday.
All three divisions will play two games a week until the end of August. The men's upper division plays its final regular season games on Aug. 11; the lower division wraps up on Aug. 18; and the co-ed teams finish the regular season on Aug. 21.
The Del Norte Recreation Department will also be hosting three big slowpitch tournaments throughout the summer starting with the Firecracker Tournament at Pykes Field on Saturday and Sunday.
The Firecracker Tournament is a one-pitch tournament that Del Norte Recreation Director John Horner said will draw teams all the way from Medford. One-pitch means that each batter will see one pitch; a strike or foul ball is an out,while a ball is a walk.Johnny Franz watches a throw from the pitcher sail into his glove. Del Norte Triplicate / Michael Zogg
"The Firecracker is cool because it is right around the Fourth of July and the one-pitch kind of adds a new dimension to it," Horner said.

Nearly a decade after George A. Romero changed the face of modern horror films with Night of the Living Dead -- and following the less successful projects Season of the Witch and The Crazies -- the Pittsburgh-based auteur returned to top form with this superb vampire tale. Set in a rapidly crumbling steeltown suburb, the story focuses on shy, moody Martin (John Amplas), a teenager of East European descent who may or may not be a vampire. Though he possesses no fangs or supernatural powers and has no aversions to either crucifixes or garlic, Martin is nevertheless compelled to drug pretty young women, slash them with razor blades, and consume their blood. His motivations seem purely psychological -- as revealed to a call-in radio talk show where Martin has become an anonymous celebrity -- but the notion of a family vampire curse is fostered by Martin's stoic uncle Cuda Lincoln Maazel, who is convinced that he must destroy the boy by hammering a stake through his heart. Romero's superb script keeps the film's supernatural questions ambiguous, focusing instead on the characters' inner turmoil as modern-day attitudes and values clash with vanishing Old World traditions. Filmed on an extremely low budget, Martin benefits from its gritty, kitchen-sink realism, making the outbursts of graphic horror even more surreal and disturbing and creating a sense of doom that builds to a tragically ironic climax. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

published: January 20, 2010
VANCOUVER, BC – Westport Innovations Inc. (TSX:WPT/NASDAQ:WPRT), a global leader in alternative fuel, low-emissions transportation technologies, today announced that as the largest procurement for LNG trucks at the Port of Los Angeles (LA) and Port of Long Beach (LB) (the Ports) edges to completion, Michael Gallagher, President & Chief Operating Officer of Westport, will transition to a new role as Senior Adviser. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) in concert with the Ports have previously announced funding for natural gas trucks, which is expected to add up to another 500 LNG trucks to the Ports' trucking fleet by April 30, 2010. Dr. Gallagher, who has focused his recent efforts around building up the fleet of natural gas trucks at the Ports, will continue to focus on senior international relationships in government and industry including industry boards and associations.
"It has been an honour and a privilege serving as Westport's President and COO these past seven years; I have enjoyed building our LNG trucking business at the Ports over the last four years, and I will continue to advocate for the importance of replacing oil-based trucks with clean, low-emission trucks running on natural gas," said Michael Gallagher. "As Senior Adviser, I will look to expand Westport's important high-level energy and environmental relationships around the world, and articulate the capabilities of natural gas vehicles and their positive characteristics including energy security, high performance, lower carbon emissions, and cheaper fuel in comparison to diesel."
As part of a retirement transition plan, Dr. Gallagher will continue as Chairman of the Board of Cummins Westport Inc., and as a Member of the Board of Directors of Westport.
"Mike has been an integral part of the growth of Westport and our Heavy Duty truck business, as well as the natural gas transportation industry," said David Demers, CEO of Westport Innovations. "The success at the Ports has captured the world's interest and allowed us to engage Volvo in Europe and Weichai in Asia to create international LNG truck capacity and leverage. I am sure Mike will continue to be a tremendous steward for Westport and the natural gas transportation industry as he builds on our initial success to national and international visibility and the goal of reducing dependency on oil."
The Port of LB announcement in early January 2010 identifies major milestone achievements in the Clean Trucks Program including the banning of over 8,000 older, polluting trucks and reducing truck emissions by 80%. It is expected that approximately 1,000 LNG trucks will make up the LNG truck fleet by April 30, 2010 including the recent round of funding by the SCAQMD. Adding to the growing fleet of natural gas trucks, the SCAQMD, California Air Resources Board (CARB), and the Ports have now also initiated discussions for the next round of Prop 1B funding for the Clean Trucks Program for 2010.
The Ports' application of LNG trucks has helped prove LNG truck and engine technology and the viability of LNG as an alternative fuel for trucks. The establishment and early adoption of the Clean LNG Trucks Program required pulling together a complex consortium of stakeholders over a four-year period, who were committed to a common goal of putting alternative fuel trucks on the road at the Ports. Organizations that have helped contribute to the development of LNG trucks and the Clean Trucks Program include but are not limited to Clean Energy Fuels, SCAQMD, CARB, the two ports - LA and LB, the Mayors of LA and LB, OEM's such as Kenworth, Peterbilt and Cummins, and the early adopter fleets such as Southern Counties Express, Total Transportation Services (TTSI) and Cal Cartage.
Westport Innovations Inc. is a leading global supplier of proprietary solutions that allow engines to operate on clean-burning fuels such as compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), hydrogen, and biofuels such as landfill gas. The Westport GX engine and LNG system for heavy-duty Class 8 trucks offers class-leading emissions and allows trucking fleets to move to lower-cost, domestically available natural gas. Cummins Westport Inc., Westport's joint venture with Cummins Inc., manufactures and sells the world's broadest range of low-emissions alternative fuel engines for commercial transportation applications such as trucks and buses. BTIC Westport Inc., Westport's joint venture with Beijing Tianhai Industry Co. Ltd., manufactures and sells LNG fuel tanks for vehicles. Westport's joint venture with OMVL SpA, Juniper Engines Inc., offers light-duty LPG engine solutions for industrial applications such as forklifts.
