Foil & Substrate Matching Chart
On the back of every foil is a heat activated glue called a 'release'. It is the release that adheres the foil pigment to your product. What's important to understand is that different releases work on different substrates ( substrate = the material being printed i.e.. vinyl, leather, paper, wood). A release that works on leather, may not work as well on plastic. Part of selecting a foil therefore becomes matching the foil you buy to the product you're going to stamp.

CFR 590 B: Current Topics in Behavioral
Credits: 3
Quarter: Autumn 2011
Time: Wednesdays, 9-11 am
Location: Anderson 306
Course website: http://faculty.washington.edu/wirsinga/SFR590B.htm
Course listserve: email@example.com
Aaron Wirsing, Winkenwerder 101, (206) 543-1585, firstname.lastname@example.com
ecology is the study of relationships between behavior and the environments in
which behavior has evolved or is expressed. Once focused largely of models of foraging and reproductive
decisions, behavioral ecologists now explore a diverse range of topics and are
particularly interested in the influence of
behavior on population dynamics and community properties. My goal is to expose you to recent
published research pushing the boundaries of this exciting field.
Course Structure and Requirements
We will meet
weekly for a 2-hour discussion.
During each meeting, one student will introduce the topic, provide
context, recap the greatest hits of the assigned papers, and then lead the
discussion. Discussion topics are
listed below.
Leaders – As
discussion leader you will be expected to do three things: (1) Give a PowerPoint presentation that provides
the proper background and context for the discussion topic (e.g., what are the key theoretical
principles being invoked? What are the key papers leading up to those being
presented?), defines important terms, and concisely summarizes the papers being
discussed. (2) Have several discussion questions at the ready. (3) Really work to keep us engaged and return
the discourse to the topic at hand following digressions.
Discussion Participants:
Please read and critically think about the week's papers before coming
to class. Arrive with one or two questions,
observations, and insights for discussion written down.
final grade will be determined by the extent of your course participation (i.e., contribution to weekly
discussions, 50%) and the quality of your performance as discussion leader

This chapter explains old-style spkgs; It applies only to legacy optional spkgs and experimental spkgs. See Packaging Third-Party Code for the modern way of packaging third-party software.
If you are producing code to add new functionality to Sage, you might consider turning it into a package (an "spkg") instead of a patch file. If your code is very large (for instance) and should be offered as an optional download, a package is the right choice. Similarly, if your code depends on some other optional component of Sage, you should produce a package. When in doubt, ask for advice on the sage-devel mailing list.
The abbreviation "spkg" stands for "Sage package". The directory SAGE_ROOT/spkg/standard contains spkg's. In a source install, these are all Sage spkg files (actually .tar or .tar.bz2 files), which are the source code that defines Sage. In a binary install, some of these may be small placeholder files to save space.
Sage packages are distributed as .spkg files, which are .tar.bz2 files (or tar files) but have the extension .spkg to discourage confusion. Although Sage packages are packed using tar and/or bzip2, note that .spkg files contain control information (installation scripts and metadata) that are necessary for building and installing them. When you compile Sage from a source distribution (or when you run sage -i <pkg> or sage -f <pkg>), the file SAGE_ROOT/src/bin/sage-spkg takes care of the unpacking, compilation, and installation of Sage packages for you. You can type:
tar -jxvf mypackage-version.spkg
to extract an spkg and see what is inside. If you want to create a new Sage package, it is recommended that you start by examining some existing spkg's. The URL http://www.sagemath.org/download-packages.html lists spkg's available for download.
Each Sage spkg has a name of the following form:
BASENAME is the name of the package; it may contain lower-case letters, numbers, and underscores, but no hyphens. VERSION is the version number; it should start with a number and may contain numbers, letters, dots, and hyphens; it may end in a string of the form "pNUM", where "NUM" is a non-negative integer. If your spkg is a "vanilla" (unmodified) version of some piece of software, say version 5.3 of "my-python-package", then BASENAME would be "my_python_package" – note the change from hyphens to underscores, because BASENAME should not contain any hyphens – and VERSION would be "5.3". If you need to modify the software to use it with Sage (as described below and in the chapter Overview of Patching SPKGs), then VERSION would be "5.3.p0", the "p0" indicating a patch-level of 0. If someone adds more patches, later, this would become "p1", then "p2", etc.
The string VERSION must be present. If you are using a piece software with no obvious version number, use a date. To give your spkg a name like this, create a directory called BASENAME-VERSION and put your files in that directory – the next section describes the directory structure.
Put your files in a directory with a name like mypackage-0.1, as described above. If you are porting another software package, then the directory should contain a subdirectory src/, containing an unaltered copy of the package. Every file not in src/ should be under version control, i.e. checked into an hg repository.
More precisely, the directory should contain the following:
src/: this directory contains vanilla upstream code, with a few exceptions, e.g. when the spkg shipped with Sage is in effect upstream, and development on that code base is happening in close coordination with Sage. See John Cremona's eclib spkg, for instance. The directory src/ must not be under revision control.
.hg, .hgignore, and .hgtags: Old-style spkgs use Mercurial for its revision control system. The hidden directory .hg is part of the standard Sage spkg layout. It contains the Mercurial repository for all files not in the src/ directory. To create this Mercurial repository from scratch, you should do:
hg init
The files .hgignore and .hgtags also belong to the Mercurial repository. The file .hgtags is optional, and is frequently omitted. You should make sure that the file .hgignore contains "src/", since we are not tracking its content. Indeed, frequently this file contains only a single line:
spkg-install: this file contains the install script. See The File spkg-install for more information and a template.
SPKG.txt: this file describes the spkg in wiki format. Each new revision needs an updated changelog entry or the spkg will get an automatic "needs work" at review time. See The File SPKG.txt for a template.
spkg-check: this file runs the test suite. This is somewhat optional since not all spkg's have test suites. If possible, do create such a script since it helps isolate bugs in upstream packages.
patches/: this directory contains patches to source files in src/. See Overview of Patching SPKGs. Patches to files in src/ should be applied in spkg-install, and all patches must be self-documenting, i.e. the header must contain what they do, if they are platform specific, if they should be pushed upstream, etc. To ensure that all patched versions of upstream source files under src/ are under revision control, the whole directory patches/ must be under revision control.
Never apply patches to upstream source files under src/ and then package up an spkg. Such a mixture of upstream source with Sage specific patched versions is a recipe for confusion. There must be a clean separation between the source provided by the upstream project and the patched versions that the Sage project generates based on top of the upstream source.
The only exception to this rule is for removals of unused files or directories. Some packages contain parts which are not needed for Sage. To save space, these may be removed directly from src/. But be sure to document this in the "Special Update/Build Instructions" section in SPKG.txt!
The script spkg-install is run during installation of the Sage package. In this script, you may make the following assumptions:
The PATH has the locations of sage and python (from the Sage installation) at the front. Thus the command:
python setup.py install
will run the correct version of Python with everything set up correctly. Also, running gap or Singular, for example, will run the correct version.
The environment variable SAGE_ROOT points to the root directory of the Sage installation.
The environment variable SAGE_LOCAL points to the SAGE_ROOT/local directory of the Sage installation.
The environment variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH both have SAGE_ROOT/local/lib at the front.
The spkg-install script should copy your files to the appropriate place after doing any build that is necessary. Here is a template:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
if [ -z "$SAGE_LOCAL" ]; then
echo >&2 "SAGE_LOCAL undefined ... exiting"
echo >&2 "Maybe run 'sage --sh'?"
exit 1
cd src
# Apply patches. See SPKG.txt for information about what each patch
# does.
for patch in ../patches/*.patch; do
[ -r "$patch" ] || continue # Skip non-existing or non-readable patches
patch -p1 <"$patch"
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo >&2 "Error applying '$patch'"
exit 1
./configure --prefix="$SAGE_LOCAL"
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo >&2 "Error configuring PACKAGE_NAME."
exit 1
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo >&2 "Error building PACKAGE_NAME."
exit 1
$MAKE install
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo >&2 "Error installing PACKAGE_NAME."
exit 1
if [ "$SAGE_SPKG_INSTALL_DOCS" = yes ] ; then
# Before trying to build the documentation, check if any
# needed programs are present. In the example below, we
# check for 'latex', but this will depend on the package.
# Some packages may need no extra tools installed, others
# may require some. We use 'command -v' for testing this,
# and not 'which' since 'which' is not portable, whereas
# 'command -v' is defined by POSIX.
# if [ `command -v latex` ] ; then
# echo "Good, latex was found, so building the documentation"
# else
# echo "Sorry, can't build the documentation for PACKAGE_NAME as latex is not installed"
# exit 1
# fi
# make the documentation in a package-specific way
# for example, we might have
# cd doc
# $MAKE html
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo >&2 "Error building PACKAGE_NAME docs."
exit 1
mkdir -p "$SAGE_ROOT/local/share/doc/PACKAGE_NAME"
# assuming the docs are in doc/*
cp -R doc/* "$SAGE_ROOT/local/share/doc/PACKAGE_NAME"
Note that the first line is #!/usr/bin/env bash; this is important for portability. Next, the script checks that SAGE_LOCAL is defined to make sure that the Sage environment has been set. After this, the script may simply run cd src and then call either python setup.py install or the autotools sequence ./configure && make && make install, or something else along these lines.
Sometimes, though, it can be more complicated. For example, you might need to apply the patches from the patches directory in a particular order. Also, you should first build (e.g. with python setup.py build, exiting if there is an error), before installing (e.g. with python setup.py install). In this way, you would not overwrite a working older version with a non-working newer version of the spkg.
When copying documentation to $SAGE_ROOT/local/share/doc/PACKAGE_NAME, it may be necessary to check that only the actual documentation files intended for the user are copied. For example, if the documentation is built from .tex files, you may just need to copy the resulting pdf files, rather than copying the entire doc directory. When generating documentation using Sphinx, copying the build/html directory generally will copy just the actual output intended for the user.
The old-style SPKG.txt file is the same as described in The SPKG.txt File, but with a hand-maintained changelog appended since the contents are not part of the Sage repository tree. It should follow the following pattern:
== Changelog ==
Provide a changelog of the spkg here, where the entries have this format:
=== mypackage-0.1.p0 (Mary Smith, 1 Jan 2012) ===
* Patch src/configure so it builds on Solaris. See Sage trac #137.
=== mypackage-0.1 (Leonhard Euler, 17 September 1783) ===
* Initial release. See Sage trac #007.
When the directory (say, mypackage-0.1) is ready, the command
sage --pkg mypackage-0.1
will create the file mypackage-0.1.spkg. As noted above, this creates a compressed tar file. Running sage --pkg_nc mypackage-0.1 creates an uncompressed tar file.
When your spkg is ready, you should post about it on sage-devel. If people there think it is a good idea, then post a link to the spkg on the Sage trac server (see The Sage Trac Server) so it can be refereed. Do not post the spkg itself to the trac server: you only need to provide a link to your spkg. If your spkg gets a positive review, it might be included into the core Sage library, or it might become an optional download from the Sage website, so anybody can automatically install it by typing sage -i mypackage-version.spkg.
For any spkg:
External Magma code goes in SAGE_ROOT/src/ext/magma/user, so if you want to redistribute Magma code with Sage as a package that Magma-enabled users can use, that is where you would put it. You would also want to have relevant Python code to make the Magma code easily usable.
This section contains some guidelines on what an spkg must never do to a Sage installation. You are encouraged to produce an spkg that is as self-contained as possible.
Make sure you are familiar with the structure and conventions relating to spkg's; see the chapter Packaging Old-Style SPKGs for details. Patching an spkg involves patching the installation script of the spkg and/or patching the upstream source code contained in the spkg. Say you want to patch the Matplotlib package matplotlib-1.0.1.p0. Note that "p0" denotes the patch level of the spkg, while "1.0.1" refers to the upstream version of Matplotlib as contained under matplotlib-1.0.1.p0/src/. The installation script of that spkg is:
In general, a script with the name spkg-install is an installation script for an spkg. To patch the installation script, use a text editor to edit that script. Then in the log file SPKG.txt, provide a high-level description of your changes. Once you are satisfied with your changes in the installation script and the log file SPKG.txt, use Mercurial to check in your changes and make sure to provide a meaningful commit message.
The directory src/ contains the source code provided by the upstream project. For example, the source code of Matplotlib 1.0.1 is contained under
To patch the upstream source code, you should edit a copy of the relevant file – files in the src/ directory should be untouched, "vanilla" versions of the source code. For example, you might copy the entire src/ directory:
$ pwd
$ cp -pR src src-patched
Then edit files in src-patched/. Once you are satisfied with your changes, generate a unified diff between the original file and the edited one, and save it in patches/:
$ diff -u src/configure src-patched/configure > patches/configure.patch
Save the unified diff to a file with the same name as the source file you patched, but using the file extension ".patch". Note that the directory src/ should not be under revision control, whereas patches/ must be under revision control. The Mercurial configuration file .hgignore should contain the following line:
Ensure that the installation script spkg-install contains code to apply the patches to the relevant files under src/. For example, the file
is a patch for the file
The installation script matplotlib-1.0.1.p0/spkg-install contains the following code to install the relevant patches:
cd src
# Apply patches. See SPKG.txt for information about what each patch
# does.
for patch in ../patches/*.patch; do
patch -p1 <"$patch"
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo >&2 "Error applying '$patch'"
exit 1
Of course, this could be modified if the order in which the patches are applied is important, or if some patches were platform-dependent. For example:
if [ "$UNAME" = "Darwin" ]; then
for patch in ../patches/darwin/*.patch; do
patch -p1 <"$patch"
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo >&2 "Error applying '$patch'"
exit 1
(The environment variable UNAME is defined by the script sage-env, and is available when spkg-install is run.)
Now provide a high-level explanation of your changes in SPKG.txt. Note the format of SPKG.txt – see the chapter Packaging Old-Style SPKGs for details. Once you are satisfied with your changes, use Mercurial to check in your changes with a meaningful commit message. Then use the command hg tag to tag the tip with the new version number (using "p1" instead of "p0": we have made changes, so we need to update the patch level):
$ hg tag matplotlib-1.0.1.p1
Next, rename the directory matplotlib-1.0.1.p0 to matplotlib-1.0.1.p1 to match the new patch level. To produce the actual spkg file, change to the parent directory of matplotlib-1.0.1.p1 and execute
$ /path/to/sage-x.y.z/sage --pkg matplotlib-1.0.1.p1
Creating Sage package matplotlib-1.0.1.p1
Created package matplotlib-1.0.1.p1.spkg.
NAME: matplotlib
VERSION: 1.0.1.p1
HG REPO: Good
SPKG.txt: Good
Spkg files are either bzipped tar files or just plain tar files; the command sage --pkg ... produces the bzipped version. If your spkg contains mostly binary files which will not compress well, you can use sage --pkg_nc ... to produce an uncompressed version, i.e., a plain tar file:
$ sage --pkg_nc matplotlib-1.0.1.p0/
Creating Sage package matplotlib-1.0.1.p0/ with no compression
Created package matplotlib-1.0.1.p0.spkg.
NAME: matplotlib
VERSION: 1.0.1.p0
HG REPO: Good
SPKG.txt: Good
Note that this is almost three times the size of the compressed version, so we should use the compressed version!
At this point, you might want to submit your patched spkg for review. So provide a URL to your spkg on the relevant trac ticket and/or in an email to the relevant mailing list. Usually, you should not upload your spkg itself to the relevant trac ticket – don't post large binary files to the trac server.
If you want to bump up the version of an spkg, you need to follow some naming conventions. Use the name and version number as given by the upstream project, e.g. matplotlib-1.0.1. If the upstream package is taken from some revision other than a stable version, you need to append the date at which the revision is made, e.g. the Singular package singular-3-1-0-4-20090818.p3.spkg is made with the revision as of 2009-08-18. If you start afresh from an upstream release without any patches to its source code, the resulting spkg need not have any patch-level labels (appending ".p0" is allowed, but is optional). For example, sagenb-0.6.spkg is taken from the upstream stable version sagenb-0.6 without any patches applied to its source code. So you do not see any patch-level numbering such as .p0 or .p1.
Say you start with matplotlib-1.0.1.p0 and you want to replace Matplotlib 1.0.1 with version 1.0.2. This entails replacing the source code for Matplotlib 1.0.1 under matplotlib-1.0.1.p0/src/ with the new source code. To start with, follow the naming conventions as described in the section Overview of Patching SPKGs. If necessary, remove any obsolete patches and create any new ones, placing them in the patches/ directory. Modify the script spkg-install to take any changes to the patches into account; you might also have to deal with changes to how the new version of the source code builds. Then package your replacement spkg using the Sage command line options --pkg or --pkg_nc (or tar and bzip2).
To install your replacement spkg, you use:
sage -f http://URL/to/package-x.y.z.spkg
sage -f /path/to/package-x.y.z.spkg
To compile Sage from source with the replacement (standard) spkg, untar a Sage source tarball, remove the existing spkg under SAGE_ROOT/spkg/standard/. In its place, put your replacement spkg. Then execute make from SAGE_ROOT.

Unfortunately I lack the time or resources to help people find copies of anime television programs. I have put together a web List of Online Video and Book Stores that will be useful to find copies in the United States, some other countries, and one Japanese store. There are other similar stores on the Internet around the world that might be able to supply the DVDs, LDs, VCDs, or video tapes that are desired. Check my Japanese Animation Information page for links to Internet resources that may have further information. I am not involved in trading materials from my own collection. I am still waiting to see most of the programs in this List of Anime Television Series and would be happy to find sources for many of them. Because of these circumstances I will not respond to requests for help to find these types of materials. |

Survey takers who work as Eligibility Workers report a focused set of job skills. Customer Service and Data Entry are considered valuable skills and can increase employee pay. Skills that pay less than market rate include Data Entry.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Eligibility Workers, more experience in the field does not usually mean bigger paychecks. Relatively untried employees who have fewer than five years of experience earn around $32K on average. People who have worked for five to 10 years can expect a higher median salary of $36K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $42K. More than 20 years of experience mean a somewhat bigger median paycheck of $44K, but it's not much more than what less experienced people make.

Watch out, "America's Next Top Model." A new version of the fashion-themed reality TV show is in the works, and it has an Asian face.
"Our Asian girls are ready to kick some American tail," said Tyra Banks on Sunday morning at a press conference in Singapore to promote "Asia's Next Top Model," which is set to air Asia-wide on both cable and free-to-air channels late this year.
The 38-year-old American model and TV host is the founder and executive producer of "America's Next Top Model," which first aired in 2003. Now in its 19th cycle, the successful TV franchise has launched international spinoffs around the world, with local versions in Asian countries including China, South Korea, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam. "Asia's Next Top Model" will be the first version with a pan-regional scope and will be broadcast in English.
The show's producers, Ice-TV, said in a phone interview that the main criteria for applicants were that they be "of Asian descent" and between 18 to 27 years old. According to a May 22 update on the show's official Facebook page, "Asia's Next Top Model" received applications from 38 countries around the world – with the tallest applicant rising to 1.96 meters – following an international casting call launched in March. Applications have now closed.
"The majority of applicants were from the Asia region," said David Searl, Ice-TV's managing director, noting that applicants hailed from places such as the U.K., North and South America, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Uzbekistan, Iraq and Papua New Guinea. More details about the shortlisted applicants, as well as broadcast and sponsorship partners, will be announced on Sept. 25.
Singapore-based model Nadya Hutagalung is set to host the show, while Singaporean fashion director Daniel Boey, Canadian fashion photographer Todd Anthony Tyler and Philippine model and TV host Joey Mead-King will be co-judges.
Meanwhile, Ms. Banks offered her take on Asian models, who are increasingly being embraced in fashion campaigns by international designers.
"I think the rise of Asian models is an absolutely beautiful thing," Ms. Banks told Singapore media. "What I don't like to see is when models of different races come in and out of fashion. Like, oh, it's an Asian model moment. It's like, you know, Asian people are here forever and not going anywhere. It's not a moment, it just should be."
Ms. Banks also spoke out in support of diversity in the fashion industry, saying that she considers herself "curvy." "I created 'America's Next Top Model' to expand the definition of beauty," she said, adding that it was important to her to have "plus-size" models on the show (though she prefers the term "fiercely real").
She also noted that the show is now embracing social media, with fans empowered to vote for their favorite contestants. "In the beginning we didn't want fans voting because I feared that fans would vote for the prettiest girl – the traditional, stereotypically prettiest girl, " she said. "The public now understands that it's not about looking like Barbie."
It remains to be seen how the yet-to-be revealed contestants in the Asian version will fare.
"We're just going to have to see how competitive our girls on 'Asia's Next Top Model' are," said Ms. Banks.

Amused By Books 2012 Summer Reading List!
To me, summer reading is all about easy, breezy books that I want to read lying by the beach or in a beach chair in the backyard sipping a brightly colored cocktail with an umbrella in it!
This summer I know I won't have as much free time as I normally do since I have a major event in September that we are planning. However, because of that, I need some mindless reading more than ever! So while I have cut down my summer reading list to a top 3 to take some pressure off, I personally can't wait to read these books no matter what and promise to check in at the end of the summer to see how these plans panned out.
So without further ado, Amused By Books (pitifully small, but thoroughly exciting) summer reading list is:
1. There Goes The Bride by Holly McQueen (I'll give you one guess why I want to read this title!)
2. The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty (I've been hearing great things about this one and it has all the elements of books I love!)
3. Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter (Seriously, doesn't this cover just beg to be taken on a beach vacation?!
So did I pick some good titles? What books are on your summer reading list?
21 comments:
Sounds like a good summer reading plan. Beautiful Ruins is on my list to read this summer and I really want to get The Chaperone. People are raving about it!
ReplyDeleteI like having a little pile of books that I want to read during the summer. There's such a sense of accomplishment when I finish the last one. Both The Chaperone and Beautiful Ruins are on my list this year. So many positive reviews!
ReplyDeleteOnly three books??? Even with the wedding you can fit a few more in, right? LOL. Just kidding, of course. You can't be expected to stash a Kindle in your wedding gown.
ReplyDelete<3 Moriarty. I remember reading Center of Everything and thinking of your time in Kansas!
ReplyDeleteI do not have a list as much as a full box by my bed of various cozy mystery series I decided would be perfect to read this summer in the backyard. Each promises to be breezy with enjoyable charachaters , lovely small towns and a touch of a mystery. I am so looking foward to long summer days with my books. I have one centered around an apple orchard business,one series about a fishing family business and intrepid mystery solvers, two centered around bookstores and one series around a horse farm. Heaven.


text: Radical Cleric Leaves UK Prison Abu Qatada out on bail after deportation effort nixed By Matt Cantor, Newser Staff Posted Nov 13, 2012 8:10 AM CST STORY COMMENTS (7) (Newser) – As expected, radical cleric Abu Qatada was released on bail from a British prison today, the BBC reports. He had been held for the majority of the past decade; yesterday, however, judges ruled that he couldn't be deported to Jordan for a terror trial because of the country's reported use of torture-based evidence. But the British government isn't giving up; it plans to appeal the judges' decision. "We are absolutely determined to see this man get on a plane and go back to Jordan. He does not belong here," said the deputy prime minister. Islamic cleric Abu Qatada is driven out of Long Lartin high security prison in Worcestershire, England, after winning the latest round in his battle against deportation, Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2012.

With the debate on United Nations reform still lagging after 18 years, President Jacob Zuma of South Africa today called for making the Security Council more democratic, with an expansion of seats and greater representation for Africa.
"Given its mandate, the Council has to be legitimate, democratic and transparent. Its current composition has a propensity for deadlock and paralysis even in the face of crisis," President Zuma said during the General Assembly's high-level General Debate. "It remains unrepresentative and undemocratic in both its composition and decision-making."
The 15-member Council currently consists of five permanent members with veto power - China, France, Russia, United Kingdom and United States - and 10 non-permanent members, with no veto, are elected for two-year terms.
Some countries have argued that this structure does not represent the realities of today's world, and other leaders addressing the General Debate on Tuesday made similar calls to President Zuma.
Key issues under discussion in the intergovernmental negotiations on Council reform are the category of membership, the question of veto, regional representation, the size of an enlarged Council, and the Council's working methods and its relationship with the Assembly.
"The UN faces immense pressure when the world sees the unprecedented loss of lives as it is happening in Africa and the Middle East," the South African President said. "It is of concern when it appears as if the United Nations is unable to act and assist, and when it comes across as paralyzed in certain instances, due to the actions of some Member States."
"We have seen a divided Security Council unable to muster the collective courage to say 'no more' to warring parties in the interest of peace," he added. "This brings to the fore the need to continue and deepen the reform of the United Nations and its organs to make it agile and nimble in addressing the contemporary challenges facing humanity."
The President called for "more meaningful" representation of Africa in the Council, noting that about 70 per cent of the 15-member body's agenda consists of issues from the continent.
"The Security Council has to be expanded in both categories, with at least two seats for Africa in the permanent category and five in the non-permanent category," he stated.
In addition to seats for the continent in its composition, the UN should also recognize fully and appreciate the role of regional organizations working with the UN in conflict management and resolution, he noted, urging closer collaboration with the African Union.
The South African leaders also said that, to promote the peaceful settlement of disputes, the Council should carry out its Charter mandate "within the confines of international law," adding that any Member State or international body that implements the Council's resolutions should be accountable to it.
"This will ensure that we avoid the abuse of internationally agreed concepts like Responsibility to Protect and the Protection of Civilians. These principles must not be used to, amongst other things, justify the notion of regime change," President Zuma said.
He added, "These concepts exist to prevent mass atrocities, war crimes, genocide and ethnic cleansing. We should continue the debate on these principles in order to develop norms and standards for accountability when actions are taken."
In his meeting with President Zuma today, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed appreciation for South Africa's leadership role on some key African issues. Among other topics, the two men noted their deep concern about the situation in the West Africa's Sahel region, especially northern Mali, and the need for the international community to play a bigger role in resolving the problems in the affected countries.
Along with the South African President, scores of heads of State and government and other high-level officials are presenting their views and comments on issues of individual national and international relevance at the Assembly's General Debate, which ends on 1 October.

Altman, D.G and Bland, J.M (2005) Treatment allocation by minimisation. BMJ, 330 (7495). p. 843. ISSN 0959-535X
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In almost all controlled trials treatments are allocated by randomisation. Blocking and stratification can be used to ensure balance between groups in size and patient characteristics. But stratified randomisation using several variables is not effective in small trials. The only widely acceptable alternative approach is minimisation, a method of ensuring excellent balance between groups for several prognostic factors, even in small samples. With minimisation the treatment allocated to the next participant enrolled in the trial depends (wholly or partly) on the characteristics of those participants already enrolled. The aim is that each allocation should minimise the imbalance across multiple factors.

Celtic will go after Wolves striker Kevin Doyle even if Gary Hooper happens to stay.
The Scottish champions could lose star striker Hooper to either QPR or Norwich City this summer but even if he does remain at Parkhead, manager Neil Lennon is keen on Republic of Ireland international Doyle according to SunSport.
Lennon said: "We do have a No1 striker in mind and even if Gary stays we'd still like to bring that player in.
"We're not really making great inroads but we're trying our best.
"I'd like to have him by Thursday as that would mean he'd be eligible for the Elfsborg game.
"We're working really hard on that one but it's slow progress at the minute.
"He's someone we hope will score goals on a regular basis, the way Hooper has done in the last couple of years.
"He's a player we like and a player we've liked for a while."

Egypt |
This article is part of the series: |
Other countries · Atlas Politics portal |
The government of Egypt consists of a semi-presidential republic whereby the president is both head of state and head of government, and of a system dominated by the National Democratic Party. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the People's Assembly.
Contents |
Egypt has been a republic since 18 June 1953. Since the declaration of the republic, four Egyptians have served as presidents. The first President to take office was President Mohamed Naguib. The fourth and incumbent president is Mohamed Hosni Mubarak who has been the President of Egypt since October 14, 1981, following the assassination of former President Mohammed Anwar El-Sadat. Mubarak is currently serving his fifth term in office. He is the leader of the ruling National Democratic Party. Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif was sworn in as Prime Minister on 9 July 2004, following the resignation of Atef Ebeid from office.
Parliament meets for one eighth-month session each year; under special circumstances the President of the Republic can call an additional session. Even though the powers of the Parliament have increased since the 1980 Amendments of the Constitution, the Parliament continues to lack the powers to balance the excessive powers of the President.
The People's Assembly is the principal legislative body. Out of the assembly's 454 deputies, 444 are directly elected while no more than 10 may be appointed by the President (article 87 of the Constitution). The Constitution reserves fifty percent of the assembly seats for 'workers and peasants'. The assembly sits for a five-year term but can be dissolved earlier purple by the President. All seats are voted on in each election. Four hundred seats are voted on using proportional representation while the remaining forty-four are elected in local majority votes.
The People's Assembly may force the resignation of the executive cabinet by voting a motion of censure. For this reason, the Prime Minister and his cabinet are necessarily from the dominant party or coalition in the assembly. In the case of a president and assembly from opposing parties, this leads to the situation known as cohabitation. While motions of censure are periodically proposed by the opposition following government actions that it deems highly inappropriate, they are purely rhetorical; party discipline ensures that, throughout a parliamentary term, the government is never overthrown by the assembly.
The Shura Council is the 264-member upper house of Parliament created in 1980. In the Shura Council 176 members are directly elected and 88 members are appointed by the President of the Republic for six-year terms. One half of the Shura Council is renewed every three years.
The Shura Council's legislative powers are limited. On most matters of legislation, the People's Assembly retains the last word in the event of a disagreement between the two houses.
There currently exist eighteen recognized political parties from across the political spectrum. The formation of political parties based on religion is prohibited by the Constitution. The official opposition and political pressure groups, like the Muslim Brotherhood, are active in Egypt and make their views public. They are represented at various levels in the political system. However, power is concentrated in the hands of the President of the Republic and the National Democratic Party which retains a super-majority in the People's Assembly.
The November 2000 Parliamentary Elections are generally regarded to have been more transparent and better executed than past elections. This is due to the new Law put into force establishing universal judicial monitoring of polling stations. On the other hand, opposition parties continue to lodge credible complaints about electoral manipulation by the government. Moreover, many Egyptians feel their votes are being monitored by poll workers, and could face retribution for their votes. There are significant restrictions on the political process and freedom of expression for non-governmental organizations, including professional syndicates and organizations promoting respect for human rights which have been greatly loosened up in the past five years.
Below the national level, authority is exercised by and through governors and mayors appointed by the central government and by popularly elected local councils.
According to the Egyptian Constitution, political parties are allowed to exist. Religious political parties are not allowed as it would not respect the principle of non-interference of religion in politics and that religion has to remain in the private sphere to respect all beliefs. In addition, political parties supporting militia formations or having an agenda that is contradictory to the constitution and its principles, or threatening the country's stability such as national unity between Muslim Egyptians and the persecuted indigenous Christian Egyptians, the Copts.
Today, there are 18 political parties in Egypt.

Egyptians have been living under emergency law since 1967, except for an 18-month break in 1980. Emergency laws have been continuously extended every three years since 1981. These laws sharply circumscribe any non-governmental political activity: street demonstrations, non-approved political organizations, and un-registered financial donations are formally banned. Nonetheless, since 2000, these restrictions have been violated in practice. In 2003, the agenda shifted heavily towards local democratic reforms, opposition to the succession of Gamal Mubarak as president, and rejection of violence by state security forces. Groups involved in the latest wave include PCSPI, the Egyptian Movement for Change (Kefaya), and the Association for Egyptian Mothers.
Substantial peasant activism exists on a variety of issues, especially related to land rights and land reform. A major flash point was the 1997 repeal of Nasser-era land reform policies under pressure for structural adjustment. A pole for this activity is the Land Center for Human Rights.
Unfortunately, The Egyptian government also condones regular and ongoing persecution against their indigenous people, the Copts. This ranges from lower quality conditions and pay in the workplace, to murder, torture, kidnappings of young girls, forced conversions to Islam and in virtually all cases, the perpetrators are never brought to justice. In fact, quite often it is the victims themselves that are placed under arrest, without formal charges or any evidence.
These atrocities and ongoing breaches of the Copt's basic human rights have triggered off a number of protests around the world yet the majority of western governments, including the United Nations, have taken no action beyond offering their condolences to the victims. These protests are just beginning to raise the public awareness of the common people of the western countries as the Egyptian government has gone to great steps to censor what information leaves their country.
The Muslim Brotherhood currently constitutes Mubarak's most significant political opposition; Mubarak tolerated limited political activity by the Brotherhood for his first two terms, but has moved more aggressively in the past six years to block its influence (arguably leading to its recent rise in public support). Trade unions and professional associations are officially sanctioned.
The permanent headquarters for the League of Arab States (The Arab League) is located in Cairo.The Secretary General of the League has traditionally been an Egyptian. Former Egyptian Foreign Minister Amr Moussa is the present Secretary General of the Arab League. The Arab League briefly moved out of Egypt to Tunis in 1978 as a protest at the peace treaty with Israel, but returned in 1989.
Egypt was the first Arab state to establish diplomatic relations with the state of Israel, after the signing of the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty at the Camp David Accords. Egypt has a major influence amongst other Arab states, and has historically played an important role as a mediator in resolving disputes between various Arab nations, and in the Israeli-Palestinian dispute. Most Arab nations still give credence to Egypt playing that role, though its effects are often limited.
Former Egyptian Deputy Prime Minister Boutros Boutros-Ghali served as Secretary General of the United Nations from 1991 to 1996.
A territorial dispute with Sudan over an area known as the Hala'ib Triangle, has meant that diplomatic relations between the two remain strained.

Nintendo 3DS is a breakthrough in portable entertainment, a truly cutting-edge piece of hardware. It has to be seen to be believed. Nintendo 3DS includes two screens. The bottom touch screen makes use of a telescoping stylus that is stored in the unit itself. The top screen displays 3D visuals to the naked eye. Looking at the screen is like peering through a window into a world where characters and objects have true depth. The system also has a 3D Depth Slider that lets players select the level of 3D they enjoy the most. The 3D effect can be ratcheted up to the highest level, scaled back to a more moderate setting or even turned off completely, depending on the preference of the user.
In addition to the familiar + Control Pad and button controls found on previous Nintendo hand-helds, Nintendo 3DS now also includes a Circle Pad, which provides a full 360 degrees of direction, giving it the freedom and precision needed to play games in 3D worlds. It brings the same degree of responsiveness that gamers enjoyed when Nintendo introduced an analog control stick to navigate Mario through Super Mario 64 on the Nintendo 64 system.

Just average .... My son is ten. We have all the game systems ... xBox, Wii, plus several hand held systems etc. We considered getting my son a Kindle Fire instead but decided to go for the NinDS3D ... BIG mistake. He can't do all the things he wanted to do with the 3D that he could do with the other Nintendo system. He now fights over his sister's Kindle Fire. UGGGGGGGG ... some times one has to go with their first thought!

Usefulness of intravenous propofol anesthesia for radiofrequency catheter ablation in patients with tachyarrhythmias: infeasibility for pediatric patients with ectopic atrial tachycardia. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 10527017 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
General anesthesia is sometimes required during radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of various tachyarrhythmias because of an anticipated prolonged procedure and the need to ensure stability during critical ablation. In this study, we examine the feasibility of using propofol anesthesia for RFCA procedure. There were 150 patients (78 male, 72 female; mean age 30 years, range 4-96 years) in the study. Electrophysiologic study was performed before and during propofol infusion in the initial 20 patients and was performed only during propofol infusion in the remaining 130 patients. In the initial 20 patients, propofol infusion increased the sinus rate and facilitated AV nodal conduction. The accessory pathway effective refractory period, as well as the sinus node recovery time, atrial effective refractory period, and ventricular effective refractory period were not significantly changed. There were 152 tachyarrhythmias in 150 patients (24 atrial flutter, 31 AV nodal reentrant tachycardia, 68 AV reciprocating tachycardia, 12 ventricular tachycardia, and 17 atrial tachycardia). Most (148/152) tachycardias remained inducible after anesthesia and RFCA was performed uneventfully. However, in four of the seven pediatric patients with ectopic atrial tachycardia, the tachycardia terminated after propofol infusion and could not be induced by isoproterenol infusion. Consequently, RFCA could not be performed. Intravenous propofol anesthesia is feasible during RFCA for most tachyarrhythmias except for ectopic atrial tachycardia in children. |

I have had 3 appts with my current medi-cal dr. I have never felt great about him but this last appt left me in tears. When I epxlained to him I was having shooting pains and tried to show him the area hecut me off and didn't even look up from his paper before dismissing it as "a normal part of pregnancy." When I asked if he could at least look at the area I'm speaking of he said " No I already told you what it was and am already running behind."
I no longer feel comfortable seeing him, and having a heck of a time finding someone in the San Fernando Valley who accepts Medi-Cal. I'm scheduled for another appt in 2 weeks and am DESPERATE to find someone else before then.
Thanks for any help you ladies can give

Sounds like Dr. Kossari?
I had multiple bad experiences with him before switching to a midwife. I couldn't find any other options in the area too. Just wanted to commiserate and say good luck...
