Reviews of Little Kwara
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Little Kwara review
Same comments as for Lebala (same owners group - Kwando). Guides work hard to find the sightings and do not worry if you need to stay out long to get to them. Game drives have priority over meal times!
We particularly enjoyed the river trip here. Whilst we have been on many such trips over the years, for this one there was a variety of scenery and environment through which we passed which provided good photographic opportunities and in our opinion it is one of the best we have come across.
There was one thing wrong and I have made the comment to local management and will repeat to their Head Office and that is the need to start this trip probably half an hour earlier. Inevitably some of those participating are slow to arrive in time being rather laid back and treating the whole experience as a bit of a holiday as opposed to serious game driving (in this case cruising). Such delays and any need during the duration of the cruise to stop to take photographs means that, as happened to us, we arrived at the heronry too late to take good photographs - it was almost dark. This was a missed opportunity as the double-deck boat gives an excellent platform to photograph the heronry and there was a lot happening there.
Little Kwara review
Was really sad to leave Lebala camp and our new found friends staff and guests alike but settled really quickly with the help of fab staff here: Kia, Lizzie, Jacob and kenneth. Doi please let them know we had the best holiday of our lives and still talk about them! Great group. Very friendly and exceeded our expectations.
Food lovely and adjusted for my wheat intolerence. Knowledgeable, relaxed, punctual, helpful ( I lost my sun glasses which was a major disaster but the camp staff contacted the head office in maun and 12 h later I have new shades at the very reasonable cost of $30 dollors: amazing!).
Saw loads of animals in both camps: Lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, jackals, hippos, elephasnts, baboons, antelope, wilder beats, buffalo, zebras, giraffes birds, trtees, wild life. Little kwara cam was very cocmfortable, clean and spacious. Oil lamps were reallay pretty especially when all lit when we returned home after our night drive. Also noce to be met by Kia and a glass of Sherry! very personal touch we thought.
All our flights were punctual and the staff were friendly and helpful. Felt safe at all times even in tiny planes in the middle of no where!
Little Kwara review
We loved the entire staff especially our guide, Hobbs. He was great at finding and staying close to lions and other wildlife. His life story is amazing. Managers (Ke? and Keome?) spoke excellent English and were always attentive and responsive.
The atmosphere here was very close to nature, but not "primitive"-- all material comforts provided! Animals were frequently near (but not in) the camp. At night, we could see the stars through our tent windows and hear the sounds of the African night---wonderful! Pleasant view of a marshy area. It seemed to us that there were fewer guests-per-vehicle here than in Duma Tau, but that may have just been the luck of the draw.
Charging camera batteries: All are turned in to a central place for charging, to be picked up at next meal, so it helps to have your name on your charger.
Food: Was copious and hearty and tasty.
Nice touch: Guests are greeted by staff at the camp entrance (usually with hot towels) EACH TIME they return to campl
Wildlife we especially enjoyed seeing here were cheetah, lion, and large spotted genet. This was the only camp we visited that provided a wildlife "spotter" in addition to the guide on every drive.
The only problem: We had trouble sometimes getting hot water in the outdoor shower.
Little Kwara review
Beautiful, simple but very peaceful camp. Good balance between water and land activities.
The main lodge lacks a bit atmosphere and feels a bit "abandoned" during day time. Food is really medium quality and insufficient quantity.
When you have been served a plate at the buffet, the light is switched off, so you do not feel very welcome to ask for a bit more (and there is not much left either)...
Big cats at Little Kwara
The small size of little Kwara gives it a friendly and 'family' atmosphere. We were particularly impressed when the staff sang and danced for us one evening. (Although the guides did not seem to be very good dancers).
Lizzie, Kia and Onni were excellent hosts and ensured that everything ran like clockwork. The general relaxed and informal feeling was a great introduction to Botswana.
Our guide Steve and tracker Vasco were first class. They were professional and knowledgeable but also had a great sense of fun which meant you always had to be on your toes. Anne has a particular interest in birds and Steve ensured that nothing with wings was overlooked. Alex walked at each of the four camps; in common with all four guides, Steve inspired complete confidence even in proximity to elephants, which can be a bit daunting to the inexperienced.
The sightings were excellent, both in terms of animals and birds. The evening boat trip to the lagoon was a highlight. We saw lions, leopards and cheetahs frequently.
Tent 1, with its direct view over the hippo pool, was very comfortable and seemed to be on the main route for many visiting animals.
Lions, cheetahs and leopards!
The cabin was great, during July (winter) there is no water near the lodge - just a pond in the distance.
The staff was friendly and helpful. I felt the jeep safaris were too long - 4 hours each, twice a day. The boat trip into the delta was fun but too short - this could be expanded into a full day trip. After the previous 7 days of jeep safari without seeing a large cat it was great to see lions, cheetahs and leopards all in the same day!
The mokoro ride is only in a large pond not in the actual delta channels.
Never a dull moment at Little Kwara with John
From the warm and friendly welcome from Lizzie, who had just the right approach to guests, to the great accommodation and excellent sightings we really enjoyed our four days at Little Kwara. The location was very interesting and we were aware of lion, elephants and hyenas in the camp at night.
Every game drive, mokoro and boat trip had highlights and the guide John was outstanding. He knew everything, in detail, had a great sense of humour and even used to give us 'homework'. He took time to find out our interests and made sure we were never rushed. We therefore had superb views of three lions setting up an ambush, fantastic sightings of honey badgers, secretary birds, and antelope.
He was also aware that we wanted to find out more about the small stuff and we were very fortunate to go on a walking safari where we learnt about the plants and insects. The tracker called Name found us a solitary wasp in its cocoon, and it was this attention to detail which really made us appreciate how skilled these people are.
Loved Little Kwara
We loved our stay at LIttle Kwara. The "tents" were perfect and all the staff were friendly & helpful. Our guide & trackers excellent.
We saw great game on the drives and the scenery on the boat trip was idyllic.
Would definitely visit again!
Big Fun at Little Kwara
Little Kwara was outstanding. Everyone in camp was warm and friendly and the setting was beautiful. The number of animals passing right by our tent almost made the need for game drives redundant! Elephants, hippos, monkeys, baboons (who left 'cakes' on our steps), impala, and warthog all came browsing right next to the tent. Game sightings were brilliant and our guide, John was very accommodating, even taking us out after dinner to track lions in the moonlight! Another highlight was seeing a cheetah get her supper.
Vegetarian options were again lacking at dinner time but lunchtime offerings were always tasty and the afternoon cakes were delicious.
Little Kwara review

Go Cyclones! What If? ISU To The Big 12 Championship? - Clone Chronicles
What if you fed mayonnaise directly to the tuna fish ?

I'm not expecting it to happen but at the same time, how many people predicted a convincing win in Austin?
Lets win one game at a time.

I'm far from predicting it, but wouldn't it be oddly similar: ISU wins the last Big 12 Football Championship game. ISU wins the last Big 8 Basketball Tournament Championship game.

I think that it's a long shot, but I've been chugging kool-aid since saturday so lets look at it like this. Our 2 hardest games (NU & MU) are being played at home, so I think it's possible if we prepare well enough and play with intensity and passion. I think that with Rhoads we can win the the games we're expected to win because of how he coaches and prepares this team, so I look at KU and CU and see 1 definite win (KU) and 1 should win, but it's away so you never know (CU) Kansas State will lose another conference game. I don't see them running the tables on OSU, Mizzou and Texas. I think they can beat Texas, but who knows. Nebraska beats Mizzou, yeah, this hurts to root for Nebraska especially because I feel like an obvious second choice is anyone but Nebraska winning the North. Bleh. It's all kool-aid powered, but it's a nice change from "will we win anymore games this year?"
I severely doubt it will happen, but i posted the same thing here yesterday, and it is still fun to see that with 4 games left, if one game went our way this weekend, we'd control our own destiny towards the b12 title. Extremely unlikely, but to even be in this position, with the schedule we've had, is rather incredible.

text: A man who drove his car down a steep embankment last summer has been charged with texting while driving. In a criminal complaint filed last week, Alaska State Troopers charged Michael D. Mobley, 23, with driving a motor vehicle with a screen device operating, the formal charge for driving a car while having a TV, video monitor, portable computer or other similar device visible to the driver. In the complaint, troopers wrote that at about 5:40 p.m. June 2, dispatchers received a report that Mobley drove off and down a steep embankment near Mile 167 Sterling Highway near Diamond Ridge Road. His car went down the east side of the road and hit a spruce tree, but stayed upright. Troopers said Mobley admitted he had been distracted right before the crash because he checked text messages on his cell phone. Two witnesses driving behind Mobley also told troopers that his car appeared to drift to the right and then slid down the embankment. Although Mobley did not have a working seat belt, he was not injured, troopers said. The crash did cause extensive damage to his car. Troopers had forwarded charges to the Kenai District Attorney's office last June, but charges were not filed until this month.

I don't really have a problem with founder's packs apart from the price. $200 is a bit steep in my opinion but there are those who are willing to pay it. I wonder if cryptic wouldn't have made more money by selling the high tier founder's pack to more people for a bit less money. Selling beta access however is a bit iffy in my mind. The point of beta is to get people to test and give feedback on the game and I prefer to see beta access go to those with an interest in the actual beta process rather than simply allowing those in who want to pay for the priveledge. When vetting for good beta testers the amount of disposable cash they have is hardly a good metric. |
Well the game for the most part is "finished" aka ready to release, but they want to do additional testing to get everything running smoothly. I remember when WOW launched, I remember when D3 launched. Neverwinter has a huge amount of interest around it, those packs a bonuses if you buy them. If you don't want to play it then don't dump on it.
founders packs are fine. they are not intended to sell beta access. they are there to give the fans what they want. if i was a huge DnD fan i would have probably bought one.
I think the prostitute mod corrupted your game files man. -elhefen |
I agree with the OP. Preordering or 'founder's packs' means you are basically giving away your money to a commercial company. There is no guarantee that you get a fun game in return. We all should know by now how a great game on paper can turn out to be horribly and buggy executed. It is interesting (but at the same time sad) that this way a game company could potentially make enough money from preorders/founderpacks to make their product financially a success before it is even released (D3 anyone?). Even if the game then turns out to be mediocre at best. That the community in hindsight will burn that game to the ground with harsh critics will have less effect then for the future. Because that company already won by earning a profit by creating another run of the mill mediocre product. So next time they will try this again, instead of actually improving the product, Funny thing is, this seems to be working best in the games business. Just chose an ip that gamers are asking for for years. Financial success guaranteed, They are playing the customers for fools. |

there is a simple reason why people buy "founder's packs" and similiar offers: because they believe in the idea and have the... 2 simple reasons why people buy those packs: because they believe in the idea / game and have the money. you don't? k. "I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!" |
How about : Please stop telling people how to spend their money or how to enjoy their games! THIS trend needs to stop as it is not tolerant of other points of view. It has no impact on your experience and they do not deserve to be judged by you or anyone else for taking advantage of a mutually agreed upon transaction with a company. |
Give it up, OP. Like anything else, when things get popular, and it became cool to the idiot masses to play...twas over. They are like rabid little dogs that salivate when someone rings a bell at just the right tone. Indiscriminate buying and paying for things years ahead of time, to satisfy that urge caused by the bell means that everyone will pay more to get less. Why should game developers labour to make a game that will sell on it's merit, when they can spend money on the bell and sell more based on nothing? Get real. It's over, just like those idiots that wait overnight to buy thousand dollars iphones. |
I'm sure there are a dozen different reasons as to why people buy founders packs. And yes, some people are addicted to video games and will throw money at whatever they think will "satisfy" them. Instead of asking why people buy founders packs, take a look at your own spending habits throughout history and ask yourself why. You might be able to find the common ground. |
I agree with the OP in that its a bad trend. Paying before getting a product is a bad trend. It limits your control as a consumer and opens you up to be taken advantage of. Its like financing in todays economy. Everybody and their dog want you to owe them money. You might say this limits their control except they have lawyers writing the fine print for any circumstance where you default. This also reminds me of the gun debate taking place in American politics. Bearing Arms used to be a right, now its getting downgraded to a priviledge you need permission to exercise. Its being compared to driving a car (so need insurance) on public roads wich is not a right. Oh well. Changing the rules of the game is really only possible if dolts willingly buy into the dogma behind it. Trends like this are at the whim of the masses. If ppl will buy foundations then it could become the norm. |
honestly after star wars i didnt think people would even pre order a game ever again. but i guess some dont learn.
Originally posted by DrunkWolf as much as i disliked swtor i still feel i got my moneys worth.. honestly i find it hard to NOT get your moneys worth from a MMO when compared to single player games I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today.

Paid head starts are kind of unfair in my book. Maybe if they were $10 and you got something like cash shop credit or items, then yes it's acceptable. $200 bucks, or $50? No way, that's just wrong to charge for a free to play game and give the player what I think is $20 bucks worth of goods.
Originally posted by Venomizer2 I personally think founders packs are a great idea. They're basically just pre-ordering the game but paying upfront. Other than that, how are they any different? If I pre-order a game, pay for it, receive it and it's complete garbage, is it any different than buying a founder pack, I get into a beta (which is a usual feature of a founders pack now) and it's garbage.. well, both games sucked. My control is basically unchanged really. I either buy the game or I don't - in actuality I have a little more control now with a founders pack because I can choose to buy it even earlier if I wish. If I buy a game 3 months after it comes out, 3 months before it comes out or right on the release date I will still have been potentially taken advantage of regardless of WHEN I bought it, since well, I still bought it and it sucked. Originally posted by Aerowyn Also I agree with that. I got a few hundred hours out of SWTOR, most of which I enjoyed. More than I ever got out of Farcry 3 or Dead Space 3. All 3 were good purchases. |

how about you let people do what they want to do...if you dont want to guy it, then dont.
Say you're a game dev...who would you rather have beta testing your game. They guy that would never spend a dime on your game or the guy willing to spend $200 on a founders pack ? Who's going to give better feedback on what they'd like in the game ? |
Originally posted by SuperNick agreed don't see how it is really any differn't than pre-ordering a collectors edition for any game.. at least MMOs you usually can get a good beta test in before buying the game.. many single players don't even have a demo or if they do its a very limited one I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today.

Hey, if people want to pay, they can pay. Telling gamers to stop paying for founders packs to help fund a game is like telling humanitarians with exhorbitant amounts of money to stop giving to charities to feed the less forutnate: they both spend money on these kinds of things because they want to contribute. Besides, its either founders packs or lockboxes (or founders packs and delayed lockboxes), so pick your poison.
Since when is Tuesday a direction? |
Originally posted by Digirono This. I was playing Firefall before I had purchased any sort of founder pack, I actually only ended up buying the 20 dollar one but still, I felt like I enjoyed the game enough to support the company. Who cares if someone is paying for something they may or may not enjoy. Don't do it if you don't want to. If you know a game is coming out in a year or two and don't mind waiting and don't want to pay for beta access then don't. Just wait for the release and play it then. It doesn't affect the company whatsoever if you are or are not in the beta they are just opening that for the people that would like to play it early and try it out or test their game. |

Not only the captive elephants but even the mahouts stand to benefit much if the recommendations made in the report of the Elephant Task Force (ETF) are implemented. In Kerala this would mean improving the living standards of almost 2,000 mahouts.
The report submitted to the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests on August 31, 2010 states that the objective of humane care for captive elephants could be achieved by addressing the real anomalies on the ground which include the improving service condition of the mahouts.
The ETF report recommends that mahouts be paid salary on par with the salary of the Forest Guards in the State government service. As per the report, mahouts who look after forest camp elephants should be recruited at the cadre of Forest Guards. On attaining ten years experience they should be promoted as Foresters.
Mahouts in private service need to be paid at par with those in government service. All mahouts should be provided with hardship allowance, accident insurance and bonus for well kept and healthy elephants. At the same time all mahouts in service and the newly-recruited should undergo training from the Forest Department in order to obtain license.
The report suggests the setting up of mahout training schools in the States. Registration of mahouts as trained and licensed elephant handlers will help to curb malpractices present in the system like ignorance of elephant handling and severe abuse to control the animals. Unavailability of trained mahouts due to lack of an established network is the single most important reason for elephant suffering and cruelties at the hands of untrained handlers, the report states adding that there is a need to establish a database of experienced panel of mahouts.
State president of the All Kerala Elephant Workers Union, Babu Paul MLA told The Hindu that he welcomes the recommendations for the mahouts in the ETF report though he has some reservations with regard to recommendations pertaining to parading of captive elephants.
Mr. Paul said that it is high time mahouts are covered by a proper salary system. As of now there is even no proper wage system for the mahouts in Kerala. During the festival season while taking elephants for rituals or parades, each mahout is paid a batta of Rs. 1000 a day.
But at other times they hardly get anything. The average monthly wage of a mahout stands below Rs. 4,000, Mr. Paul said.
Animal rights activist, A.G. Babu said that he also welcomes the recommendation since it can serve to bring about better care for the captive elephants at the hands of the mahouts.

Franz Lachner
This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2011) |
Franz Paul Lachner (2 April 1803 – 20 January 1890) was a German composer and conductor.
Lachner was born in Rain am Lech to a musical family (his brothers Ignaz, Theodor and Vinzenz also became musicians). He studied music with Simon Sechter and Maximilian, the Abbé Stadler. He conducted at the Theater am Kärntnertor in Vienna. In 1834, he became Kapellmeister at Mannheim. In 1835 he received the first prize for symphonic composition at Vienna with his Sinfonia passionata, and became royal Kapellmeister at Munich, becoming a major figure in its musical life, conducting at the opera and various concerts and festivals. His career there came to a sudden end in 1864 after Richard Wagner's disciple Hans von Bülow took over Lachner's duties. Lachner remained officially in his post on extended leave for a few years until his contract expired.
Lachner was a well-known and prolific composer in his day, though he is not now considered a major composer. His work, influenced by Ludwig van Beethoven and his friend Franz Schubert, is regarded as competent and craftsman-like, but is now generally little known. Among his greatest successes were his opera Catharina Cornaro (1841, preceding Donizetti's own opera by three years), his Requiem, and his seventh orchestral suite (1881).
In the present day it may be his organ sonatas (Opp. 175, 176, 177) and chamber music, in particular his music for wind instruments, that receive the most attention, though his string quartets and some of his eight symphonies have been performed and recorded. His songs, some of which are set to the same texts that Schubert used, contributed to the development of the German Lied.
For performances of Luigi Cherubini's Médée in Frankfurt in 1855, Lachner composed recitatives to replace the original spoken dialogue, and it was this version, translated into Italian, which was used in many twentieth-century revivals and recordings of that opera.
This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (July 2014) |

Editor's Letter
As you know, here in FADERville, we like to shake things up in the new year, beginning with our NOW issue, wherein we present our ideas about who and what is going to be blowing your mindbox in the coming 366 days. In the last few years, we've presented some interesting, unlikely, totally off-base and/or crazily prescient options. This year marks the very first time that we've had two women grace the covers of the magazine, and while shattering gender norms hasn't always been in our editorial credo, we're happy to do it when we can—and we like to think that the rest of the world might lock in step with us any day. Between Benazir Bhutto, Hillary Clinton, Aung San Suu Kyi and Angela Merkel, the geopolitical landscape has been seismically shifted by madame leaders around the world—a happy and pretty fucking welcome shift that might find some echoes in the music industry as well. Keri Hilson and Santi White (bka Santogold) are not simply great artists, they are forces—the former is a writing talent ne plus ultra, at home behind the boards working for pop princesses and princes alike, the latter possesses a sensationally focused mind when it comes to writing, producing and singing the kind of uncategorizeable new music that has come to define this magazine.
That's putting a healthy gloss of gender politics on our cover stars—which is convenient for my tagline (and, to be honest, belief) that this is the YEAR OF THE WOMAN—though it unfortunately undermines the fact that these two women are great artists, full stop. Hilson and White have songs for days. Unpredictable, crazy, addictive music that you will be listening to on your earbuds at some point (a lot) this year. Presumably, because you are a curious and enlightened FADER reader, you will also be looking outside the confines of your web browser and/or apartment to find some new, unclassifiable shit that will be breaking your head with its awesomeness. Check out our feature stories on Mexico City rock, suburban sprawl rap from Hunstville, Alabama and experimental psychedelics from Lawrence, Kansas to get the mind juices flowing. This is going to be a big year for the FADER—we're full of breathless, grandiose ideas about the World and the Music. We are, for the very first time in a while, optimistic about not only the future, but the right now. Happy New Year.

John Green's highly-acclaimed book adaptation "The Fault In Our Stars" is making a lot of buzz now that the premiere date in just around the corner. Dubbed as one sick movie, the drama-comedy film stars "Divergent" actress Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort as two teenage cancer survivors who fell in love after meeting in a group therapy session.
Directed by Josh Boone, "The Fault In Our Stars" cast the 22-year-old "Spectacular Now" star because she was perfect for the role even though her enthusiasm almost cost her not to get it. Apparently, Woodley wrote a letter to Boone expressing her interest to play the part of Hazel Grace Lancaster and her excitement turned off the director as he wanted to cast someone closer to the age of the lead role.
"It turned me off at first," says Boone in an interview posted on kpopstarz.com. "I liked her a lot personally, but I still didn't think she was Hazel."
"Within about two minutes, I knew it was going to be her," Boone admits after Woodley auditioned for the role. "I was on the floor. I thought, 'Why am I fighting this? There's nobody better than her. She's awesome.' "
Author John Green couldn't help but to agree with the director when he saw Woodley's audition and was in awe by her performance.
"I suddenly was in a blind panic, jumping on the phone and screaming, 'We must lock this down! It has to be Shailene Woodley!'" revealed Green.
Avid fans of the book will surely love the movie as it features all the heart-warming quotes of Augustus Water and Hazel Grace Lancaster. Featuring philosophical quotes about life and love, the movie is a well of heart-warming quotes that will make one believe that nothing is impossible with love.
Here are the top 16 quotes from the movie "The Fault In Our Stars."
1. "I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you."
2. "My thoughts are stars I can't fathom into constellations."
3. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things."
4. "The world is not a wish granting factory!"
5. "As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once."
6. "What a sl*t time is. She screws everybody."
7. "Some infinities are bigger than other infinities."
8. "The marks humans leave are too often scars."
9. "Some people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them," I said. "Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway."
10. "Grief does not change you, Hazel. It reveals you."
11. "Without pain, how could we know joy?' This is an old argument in the field of thinking about suffering and its stupidity and lack of sophistication could be plumbed for centuries but suffice it to say that the existence of broccoli does not, in any way, affect the taste of chocolate."
12. "I believe the universe wants to be noticed. I think the universe is inprobably biased toward the consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed. And who am I, living in the middle of history, to tell the universe that it-or my observation of it-is temporary?"
13. "Maybe 'okay' will be our 'always"
14. "You realize that trying to keep your distance from me will not lessen my affection for you. All efforts to save me from you will fail."
15. "I'm a grenade and at some point I'm going to blow up and I would like to minimize the casualties, okay?"
16. "Because you are beautiful. I enjoy looking at beautiful people, and I decided a while ago not to deny myself the simpler pleasures of existence"
"The Fault In Our Stars" is set to hit the big screen on June 5 in Australia and The Netherlands, and June 6 in the U.S.

Title: | Theory of Dynamical Systems on service to Number Theory |
Seminar: | MASS Colloquium |
Speaker: | A. Gogolev, Penn State |
Abstract: | |
Tools from the theory of dynamical systems proved to be extremely useful in various problems in number theory. Outstanding examples include Furstenberg's proof of Szemeredi theorem, Green-Tao theorem, solution of Oppenheim conjecture and progress towards Littlewood conjecture. We will start with questions of uniform distribution and Diophantine approximation that illustrate helpfulness of dynamical tools. Then we will discuss modern ideas in dynamics on homogeneous spaces and outline the proof of Oppenheim conjecture. No background in neither theory is needed. |

In a rare act of cooperation, Oracle and IBM have submitted a joint request for a new specification that will define how Java applications query databases using a proposed language called XQuery.
In a rare act of cooperation, Oracle and IBM have submitted a joint request for a specification that would define how Java applications query databases using a proposed language called XQuery.
Most applications today query databases using the widely used Structured Query Language, or SQL. XQuery, which is being developed at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), should provide a standard way for querying data stored in the emerging XML format.
The Java specification request, number 225, was submitted jointly to the Java Community Process (JCP) by Oracle and IBM and is supported by BEA Systems, Sun, Sybase, DataDirect Technologies and X-Hive. It can be viewed at the JCP Web site.
"This specification will define a set of interfaces and classes that enable an application to submit XQuery queries to an XML data source and process the results of these queries," the request reads in part.
Oracle and IBM are staunch rivals in the database market and spend much of their time insulting each other's products. They apparently saw a need to cooperate on a specification that could be important in furthering the use of XML and Java, technologies backed by both companies.
Representatives from the two companies were not available for comment early Tuesday. They were due to announce the proposed specification later Tuesday, according to an Oracle spokeswoman.
Database rival Microsoft has also said it plans to support XQuery. It is not a Java supporter, however, and appears not to be involved with Java request 225.
The progress of the specification depends in part on the progress of XQuery 1.0, which is expected to be finalized at the end of this year or early next. The Java specification must also go through at least two drafting stages and a period of public comment, meaning it's unlikely to be completed before late next year.
Oracle and IBM have divided responsibilities for the specification as follows, according to information on the JCP Web site: They will jointly deliver the specification, Oracle will deliver the reference implementation, and IBM will deliver a kit that tests for compatibility. The reference implementation and the compatibility kit will be available as standalone products on a royalty-free basis.

text: Activism June 12, 2007 Bold, Beautiful Jewesses and GLBT Pride! by Jordan Namerow June is GLBT Pride Month! To enrich your celebration, check out JWA's new online feature: Jewish Women and GLBT Pride. Do you know who introduced the first Federal bill to support gay/lesbian rights? A Jewess, of course! That's something to be proud of. Happy Pride! May 1, 2007 Happy May Day! by Judith Rosenbaum Today is May 1, which, in addition to being an old pagan holiday celebrating the start of summer, is also International Workers' Day and the start of the second annual Jewish American Heritage Month. April 20, 2007 A Jewess In Command! by Jordan Namerow Big news! Earlier this week, National President of Hadassah, June Walker, was nominated as the Chair of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations. The Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations has (shockingly) had only one woman Chair in its history: Shoshana Cardin who served from 1990-1992. March 22, 2007 Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen by Jordan Namerow There is a new audio podcast on Nextbook of an interview with political activist and writer Alix Kates Shulman -- featured in JWA's online exhibit Jewish Women and the Feminist Revolution -- about her first novel Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen. Click here to download or listen to the Nextbook podcast. February 7, 2007 Black History: More Than a Month by Jordan Namerow February is Black History Month -- "a time to honor the struggles and triumphs of millions of American citizens over slavery, prejudice, and poverty." Perhaps more importantly, it's a time to celebrate African Americans' myriad contributions to our country's cultural and political life. October 6, 2006 Rose Kushner: breast cancer activism pioneer by Judith Rosenbaum If you've noticed that we seem to be awash in a sea of pink ribbons and ads for pink products these days, you probably realize that it's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Not surprisingly, given our prominence as feminist leaders (and the higher incidence of breast cancer among women of Ashkenazi descent), Jewish women have played leading roles in breast cancer activism. The public attention to breast cancer today is largely due to the pioneering activism of journalist Rose Kushner (1929-1990). September 3, 2006 Labor Day by Judith Rosenbaum It's Labor Day Weekend, which for some reason in this country is a time to barbeque, shop, and maybe spend one last weekend at the beach. Labor Day has come to mean the end of summer, rather than a day to consider and celebrate the role of workers in building and sustaining this country. August 20, 2006 An urban activist by Judith Rosenbaum When Jane Jacobs died earlier this year, we heard a lot about her urban activism to save neighborhoods from the destruction of a proposed Lower Manhattan Expressway. (We at JWA, by the way, learned as we researched a memorial piece on Jacobs that, contrary to popular belief, she was not Jewish). Friday's Forward has a great article about a woman named Lillian Edelstein, whose own urban activism preceded Jacobs'. August 3, 2006 Making change, inside or out? by Judith Rosenbaum All week I've been fascinated by the reports of Catholic women being ordained as priests – 12 women were ordained on a boat outside of Pittsburgh on Monday (these "irregular" ordinations take place on rivers, which are beyond archdiocese jurisdiction), and last week another secretly ordained woman priest "came out" about her ordination and resigned from her position in the Archdiocese of Boston. July 13, 2006 Making Space for Anti-Feminists . . . by Michelle Cove What do you think about NEW, Network of Enlightened Women? If you haven't heard of it, they're a group of conservative female college students, founded in 1994 by UVA student Karen Agness. They are "dedicated to fostering the education and leadership skills of conservative university women." What does that mean? It means they think the Vagina Monologues "glorifies" rape; feel that women's studies "unfairly paints men as evil" and "ignores differences between the sexes," and have a major problem with modern feminism.

Doctor Park is warm, knowledgeable, dedicated, and calm, with a radiant personality. She made herself available both in the office and over the phone and made sure that I comprehended and was comfortable with the procedures I was going through.

Dr. Park is the rudest doctor i have ever met, and the NYC staff is cold and uncaring. Everyone from reception, to billing, to phlebotomists, to Dr. Park. Dr. Park spoke to me like I was a student of hers, in front of other docs and staff. she embarrassed me and was extremely unprofessional. I heard her and other staff members talking about me. I have left this practice; i can deal w rude staff but will not put up w a demeaning doctor. Because of her, they lost a potential 10-15K.

I'm glad I didn't read any of these reviews before I scheduled a meeting with Dr. Park. She is a great doctor. She's very friendly and understanding. She answers all our questions and always follows up. She gives us very detailed information, which is very helpful if you are new to the IUI/IVF procedures like we were. She takes her time to review all our results and always asks if we have questions. She's very responsive and always calls back. I would recommend her in a heart beat!

I see many people here complain that the doctor does not show much compassion. Well... maybe u need to see a psychologist or join a support group if you need that because being sensitive is not the goal of the reproductive endocrinologist. Her goal is to give you a proper treatment plan that helps you concieve. That's it therefore her work should not be judged based on somehting that is NOT her expertise. If I want to cry and complain I go to other doctors who specialize in seeing depressed patients or cry on my husband's shoulder. Everything should be adressted to a PROPER specialist/person. Maybe that's what many of you should do here and then the world will look much brighter. Imagine who many patients she has to see every day - many of them are depressed. Imagine you would take personally every problem of dozens of people that you have to see?

I'm 29, husband 31, TTC since almost 2 yrs. We moved from a small town in mid-west to NYC and were already in a rude shock to see how terribly hurried CWRC staff is but what shocked me most was that they did an MIS/AMH on me in May which was very very poor for my age but they never told me. I called automated lab system twice but didn't hear it there either. They did 3 FSH tests June- 5.4, July- 14.2 and Aug 24. Based on July FSH level, they did not even tell me 14 was high, just did an IUI with no success. In Aug after 24 FSH she tells me, we cannot even do an IVF for you now- you'll need donor eggs. Well, I'd appreciate if they had told me this FSH thing in advance and if she bothered to cross check my results. Who knows there was an error from their lab or a mix up? I'd be happy to be tested twice/thrice if I can have a confirmation that the FSH 24 was indeed true. She indeed laughs at some sensitive issues & is always forcing you for off visits.

I regret the 1.5 years I stayed at this practice and regret even more that I took a recommendation to see Dr. Park. She was condescending, abrupt and insensitve. On the day I began my first IVF cycle, after months of failed IUIs, the first thing she said to me was "well you know, for some couples IVF fails too." This remark was completely insensitive and astounding to hear from someone who I had placed my hopes in to have a baby. That IVF cycle failed - I waited 3 weeks to get an appointment to discuss next steps with her. When I did meet with her, she again showed her lack of sensitivity by adding "I'll probably regret changing your protocol, but let's just see what happens." I did not pursue a 2nd round of IVF with her group and moved to another practice -- the best decision I have made. I'm now loving pregnancy nausea and morning sickness, as they are milestones I've finally reached after a long journey!

like some of the other postings said, very snappy and is in a major rush to get you off the phone every time she calls even if the news is horrible, does not want to answer questions tells you to make an appointment to come in (and wait 3 weeks for it). The only fertility center I have dealt with, they seem to know what they are doing, but Dr. Park for sure could show a bit more compassion. Other MD'd that have called me where happy to answer all my questions, and did not make me feel like I was too demanding. FInd another dr. there to work with, unless you are tough as nails and dont need a little coddling.

Subtitles are never just from scripts or direct transcriptions. Long sentences can often be truncated to make them fit on the screen, to make sure the

dc.description.abstract |
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common non-cutaneous cancer in men in the United States. Early detection of PCa is essential for improving treatment outcomes and survival rates. However, diagnosis of PCa at an early stage is challenged by the lack of an imaging method that can accurately visualize PCas. Because pathological processes change the mechanical properties of the tissue, elasticity imaging methods have the potential to differentiate PCas from other prostatic tissues. Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging is a relatively new elasticity imaging method that visualizes the local stiffness variations inside soft tissue.

The work presented in this dissertation investigates the feasibility of prostate ARFI imaging. Volumetric ARFI data acquisition and display methods were developed to visualize anatomic structures and pathologies in <italic>ex vivo </italic>human prostates. The characteristic appearances of various prostatic tissues in ARFI images were identified by correlating ARFI images with McNeal's zonal anatomy and the correlated histological slides, in which prostatic pathologies were delineated by a pathologist blinded to the ARFI images. The results suggest ARFI imaging is able to differentiate anatomic structures and identify suspicious PCa regions in the prostate.

To investigate the correlation between ARFI displacement amplitudes and the underlying tissue stiffness in the prostate ARFI images, the mechanical properties of prostatic tissues were characterized using a quantitative method, based upon shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI). Co-registered ARFI and SWEI datasets were acquired in excised prostate specimens to reconstruct the shear moduli of prostatic tissues. The results demonstrated that variations in ARFI displacement amplitudes were inversely related to the underlying tissue stiffness; and the reconstructed shear moduli of prostatic tissues had good agreements with those reported in literature. The study suggests the matched ARFI and SWEI datasets provide complementary

 information about tissue's elasticity.

To increase the efficiency of the data acquisition, a novel imaging sequence was developed to acquired matched ARFI-SWEI datasets without increasing the number of excitations compared to a conventional ARFI imaging sequence. Imaging parameters were analyzed both theoretically and experimentally. An analytical model was derived to quantify the fundamental accuracy limit in the reconstructed shear modulus, and demonstrated good agreement with the experimental data. The novel sequence was demonstrated in tissue-mimicking phantoms.

Finally, ARFI imaging sequences were developed in a transrectal probe, and ARFI images were presented from <italic>in vivo</italic> data acquired in patients under radical prostatectomy. The <italic>in vivo</italic> ARFI images demonstrated decreased contrast and resolution as compared to the matched <italic>ex vivo</italic> ARFI data. However, prostate anatomy and some PCa were successfully visualized in the <italic>in vivo</italic> ARFI images. Thus, we conclude that ARFI imaging has the potential to provide image guidance for locating cancerous regions during PCa diagnosis and treatment.

Here's video of the end of last night's candidate debate for the 43rd Senate District, where Sen. Roy McDonald faced off against Saratoga County Clerk Kathy Marchione.
The debate, at Russell Sage College in Troy, was sponsored by the Troy Record. Kyle Hughes at nysnys.com shot this video, and served as one of three panelists.
Hughes caught the end of the match-up, as well as the post-forum Q&A sessions with each candidate. Here's my write-up of the event, as well as articles from the Record and Daily Gazette.
The 43rd Senate District covers two towns in Washington County, eastern Saratoga County, Columbia County and all of Rensselaer County excepting Rensselaer and most of Troy.
