The City has acquired $2 million in federal funding to begin preliminary work on the project, but it needs City Council approval.
Jesse Gothan with the City of Sacramento Department of Public Works says the project will eliminate the ramp and support columns east of the I Street Bridge.
"Those structures will be demolished because we will no longer need those approach structures to the upper deck," he says. "It will open up the riverfront to more parks and waterfront development"
Gothan says a new bridge connecting the Railyards district to West Sacramento will provide wider traffic lanes and access to bus and bicycles. Buses and bicycles can't use the existing bridge.
If the council approves tomorrow night, the City will begin talks with the U.S. Coast Guard to determine what kind of bridge will be built.
The project's estimated cost is $80 million with a completion date set for 2020.
The Sacramento City Council is expected to vote on funding the preliminary stages of the project at Tuesday's meeting.

"Helping to bridge the gap between knowledge and policy"
The Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP) at the Lauder Institute of the University of Pennsylvania conducts research on the role policy institutes play in governments and in civil societies around the world. The TTCSP was established in 1989 at the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia and moved to the IR Program at the University of Pennsylvania in 2008. The TTCSP recently moved from the IR Program to the Lauder Institute, Wharton School and School of Arts and Sciences of the University of Pennsylvania. Often referred to as the "think tanks' think tank," TTCSP examines the evolving role and character of public policy research organizations. Over the last 20 years, the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program has laid the foundation for a global initiative that will help bridge the gap between knowledge and policy in critical policy areas such as international peace and security, globalization and governance, international economics, environment, information and society, poverty alleviation, and health. This international collaborative effort is designed to establish regional and international networks of policy institutes and communities that will improve policy making as well as strengthen democratic institutions and civil societies around the world. The Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP) at the International Relations Program works with leading scholars and practitioners from think tanks and universities in a variety of collaborative efforts and programs.
Research on Think Tanks and Civil Societies
The center conducts research on the role of think tanks in the policy making process and as key civil society in countries around the world.
Think Tank Capacity Building Program
The TTCBC conducts research and provides technical assistance on a wide range of environmental challenges and organizational development issues facing think tanks and policy communities around the globe. In addition, TTCBC develops and implements strategies that will increase the capacity of think tanks so they can better serve policy makers and the general public.
Database and Directories
The Center developed the first interactive, global, comprehensive, multi-sectoral database and directory of think tanks. Most databases and the directory are organized by discipline, country or region. The Center's database continues to be the only multi-sectoral database of think tanks, consisting of over 6500 think tanks in 179 countries around the world. Additionally, the Center has created specialized databases of think tanks in areas such as development, democracy, security, international affairs and health.
Program Objectives:
The TTCSP collects data and conducts research on think tanks and policy communities around the globe and then disseminates the findings as widely as possible. In addition, TTCSP develops and implements strategies that will increase the capacity of think tanks so they can better serve policy makers and the general public. The TTCSP works with think tanks, knowledge communities, policy makers and civil society representatives to:
Develop strategies that will improve the performance and effectiveness of think tanks in the creation, dissemination and utilization of policy-relevant proposals and engage policy makers and civil society representatives in the policy making process.
Create a virtual global think tank that will foster collaboration, information sharing and the transfer of innovative policies and proposals from one institution or policy community to another.
Promote constructive dialogue and collaborative research and analysis on policy issues through the creation of global issue networks that build on existing local and regional networks wherever possible.
Identify, test and disseminate strategies and technologies that will facilitate collaborative research and information sharing among public policy research organizations and other policy and knowledge based institutions around the world.
Promote an ongoing interdisciplinary global dialogue among think tanks, policy makers and civil society representatives that will explore the critical role think tanks play in civil societies and how these institutions can be sustained over time.
This program is designed to identify and disseminate innovative technologies and best practices developed by think tanks both in the US and abroad. Those technologies and strategies that have been successfully employed by institutions have been documented and shared via conferences, newsletters, the internet and manuals. Failed strategies, programs and policy initiatives have also been analyzed. Over the last 10 years, the TTCSP has been working to help develop:
Creative approaches to the research and analysis of policy problems.
Effective use of knowledge and issue networks to facilitate the creation, dissemination and utilization of policy relevant information and ideas.
Innovative strategies for engaging the press, policy makers and the public.
Successful resource development and sustainability strategies.
Creative approaches for recruiting, motivating and retaining key personnel for think tanks.
Enterprising use of technologies, products and programs that increase policy impacts.
Imaginative programs and organizational designs for think tanks.
In recent years, we have become concerned with the lack of attention that has been given to assuring the long-term vitality of these institutions. In an effort to help improve the effectiveness and sustainability of established and fledgling think tanks, the project will actively promote innovative approaches to fundraising, management, public engagement and policy analysis and research.

Remington's process for metal injection molding (MIM), is a marriage of thermoplastic injection molding and conventional powder metallurgy technologies.For small metal parts, MIM offers the freedom to design complex shapes usually associated with plastic injection molding or investment casting. As with any metalworking technology, there are certain characteristics inherent to the process. This design guide will provide the basic information necessary for designing metal injection molded parts. For detailed recommendations, InjectAlloy® specialists are available to assist in the design and fabrication of your parts.
The MIM process, using multicavity tooling, is well suited for the production of geometrically complex parts in the mid- to high-volume range. MIM can reduce cost when compared with smaller investment castings and discrete machining, and to some extent, with conventional powder metallurgy when significant secondary machining or assembly of the P/M part is required.
Metal injection molding typically will not compete directly with drop-off screw machine components, stampings or die castings.However, assemblies made by combining a number of small parts can often be molded as an integral piece by MIM. The process is capable of forming complex configurations and has a degree of geometric freedom equivalent to that of injection molded plastics or castings.

I'm linking up with The Lettered Cottage for her MANTLE PARTY!!!
The Inspired Room for her Holiday Home Tours
Your home is so charming! I love the playfulness of everything. I can tell it is a family home filled with love. Love your tradition of exchanging ornaments and the snowman tree. Your burlap wreath on the front door is just genius too! Such a cute idea to change out the bows for the seasons. Of course, it goes without saying, too, that your homemade signs are the best part! Love the one over your mantel and in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteOh Tara! Your house is so warm and bright and so comfortable and inviting. I think it is a personification of you and your wonderful family! My favorites are your snow man tree, the Holy Night mantle sign and the fact that you all can't wait for it yto get night time so you can get "lost in the lights" of the tree! I so do that too! Thanks for letting us take a tour of your beautiful home!
ReplyDeleteyou and i must be sister seperated at birth. not only do i love your style, but i actually have a few of the same lights and accessories that you have, not to mention i also have stockings on my mantle with the names luke and seth! however, there is also a patrick too. very strange! merry christmas!
ReplyDeleteI love your tree. I really dislike those color-coordinated matchy-matchy trees. My parents did the same thing as you, gave me an ornament every year. My husband and I are in temporary housing (for 6 years, plus we go home for 2 weeks so we don't decorate for Christmas :-( ) while he is in grad school. But I can't wait to take them once we find someplace more permanent. Plus as I do, I am sure your kids will love the memories associated with the ornaments. Really a gorgeous and meaningful tree.

A feasibility study on introducing high-speed trains in India, with speeds of above 250 km per hour, is being conducted by experts from abroad. A report will be submitted in six months, Praveen Kumar, member of the Railway Board, said on Tuesday.
Addressing presspersons on the sidelines of a seminar by the Rail Wheel Factory (RWF) here, he said that feasibility for Bangalore-Hubli, Bombay-Ahmedabad and Delhi-Chandigarh trains was being considered and State governments had shown interest in sharing expenditure. A project of this kind would have to be commercially viable and attempts were being made to get funding for it through public-private partnership, he added.
Once the feasibility study was done, one project would be taken up on a pilot basis. It would require dedicated tracks without level crossings, he said.
Gaps in funding
Speaking at the seminar, R.K. Upadhyay, General Manager, RWF, said that there was a gap between the growth of rail and road transport, and the 11th Five Year Plan showed a "bias against railways" in funding pattern as opposed to other transport sectors.
Mr. Upadhyay said that the increase in funding in the 11th Plan for railways was by less than one per cent (.98 per cent) as against civil aviation, which had seen an increase of 180 per cent, shipping (200 per cent) and road (80 per cent). There was a steady decline in funding to railways over successive five-year plans, he added.
He pointed out that rail services were far more economical in terms of fuel consumption and casualties caused. But unlike China and countries in Europe, the rate of expansion, investment and thrust to technological advances was low, he said.
'Improve quality'
Governor H.R. Bharadwaj emphasised the need to improve quality and punctuality of rail services within the existing structure, citing Rajdhani as a model. Rail, road and inland navigation had to improve simultaneously, he added.
Minister of State for Railways K.H. Muniyappa said that there was a demand for export from the Rail Wheel Factory and there was a seven-per cent increase in production over the last one year.

Method and system for providing access to a protected partition of a memory device utilizing a passthru command
May 19, 1998
Issued date -
Mar 27, 1996
filing date -
Dec 23, 1993
serial no -
status (Note)
A method and system for providing access to a protected partition of a direct access storage device in a data processing system which includes a direct access storage device, an adapter that commands I/O of the storage device and also contains a protection mechanism that restricts access to a memory partition on the storage device, an adapter device driver for controlling the adapter, and a system block device driver for transferring I/O commands to the system partition from the operating system to the adapter device driver. The method comprises the steps of receiving a request to perform a read or write to a protected memory partition, generating a command data block directing the storage device to perform the read or write, and generating a passthru command containing the command data block that directs the adapter to send the command data block without enforcing the protection of the memory partition. The method continues by sending the passthru command to the adapter which then passes the command data block on to the storage device to be executed without enforcing the memory partition protection.

Cell Phone (simplified Chinese: 手机; traditional Chinese: 手機; pinyin: shŏujī) is an award-winning Chinese comedy-drama film directed by Feng Xiaogang and starring Ge You, Zhang Guoli, Xu Fan and Fan Bingbing. It was first released on 18 December 2003 in Mainland China and was subsequently screened at the Cleveland International Film Festival on 18 March 2005. With box office earnings of over ¥50 million, Cell Phone became the best-selling domestic film in 2003.[1]
Written by Liu Zhenyun, based on his own novel of the same title, the film revolves around two successful men whose marriages were wrecked when their wives uncovered their extramarital affairs through traces left in their cellphones. More broadly, the film explores the role of cellphones in interpersonal relationships in modern China, where the rapid development in information technology is having huge impacts on the way people communicate.
Yan Shouyi is a TV host who has an affair with Wu Yue (Fan Bingbing), a young and attractive woman working in publishing. Yan diligently erases all text messages and call records between him and Wu on his cellphone before he gets home everyday, in order to avoid detection by his wife Yu Wenjuan (Lu Zhang). One night, after telling Yu that he has a work meeting with Fei Mo (Zhang Guoli), a TV producer and Yan's superior, Yan rendezvous with Wu and switches off his cellphone. Not being able to reach Yan a while later, Yu calls Fei, who has been in the know of Yan's affair.
- Ge You as Yan Shouyi (S: 严守一, T: 嚴守一, P: Yán Shǒuyī), a TV host
- Zhang Guoli as Fei Mo (S: 费 墨, T: 費 墨, P: Fèi Mò), a TV producer, Yan's superior
- Xu Fan as Shen Xue (C: 沈 雪, P: Shěn Xuě), a teacher at an arts academy, Yan's lover after his divorce with his wife
- Fan Bingbing as Wu Yue (C: 武 月, P: Wǔ Yuè), a young attractive woman working in publishing who has an affair with Yan
- Lu Zhang as Yu Wenjuan (S: 于文娟, T: 於文娟, P: Yú Wénjuān), Yan's wife who divorces him when she discovers his affair with Wu
The popularity of Cell Phone among the cinema-goers is evident in its strong box office performance. Having achieved ¥50 million in box office within a month after release (US$6.4 million in total according to Business Week[2]), the film became the best-selling domestic production in 2003.[1] The film also clinched all three top awards at the 2004 Hundred Flowers Awards, which is based on viewer voting. However, it failed to bag any award or even acquire nomination for any of the major awards at the jury-based Golden Rooster Awards in the same year. According to Golden Rooster's leading juror Zhong Chengxiang, albeit being popular among viewers, Cell Phone lacked "class and style".[3] Producer Wang Zhongjun retorted that viewers' approval is of the utmost importance and rejected the Golden Rooster as an award that has "not a single bit of commercial driving force".[4] On the other hand, the official Huabiao Awards gave out an unprecedented special award to Cell Phone for its achievements in "market development", signifying official recognition of the market forces and taste of the masses.

A publicity-stunt boxing match is no more.
The much-hyped and even more divisive bout between DMX and acquitted Trayvon Martin killer George Zimmerman has been called off, according to the promoter.
"This was the wrong person to put in the ring and define celebrity boxing," Damon Feldman said Saturday on Twitter, referring to Zimmerman. He said he was scrapping plans because "I'd rather be happy and make people happy."

The DMX camp, meanwhile, was putting its own spin on the cancellation, suggesting DMX had second thoughts. "The George Zimmerman fight is canceled," DMX spokesman Domenick Nati said in a statement Saturday. "DMX never agreed to the fight and we thank you for all of the support from DMX's fans."
The bout between the veteran rapper and Zimmerman had generated strong negative response. Many said that added attention for a controversial figure such as Zimmerman was a bad idea all around.
In recent days it seemed as if those involved with the bout were beginning to agree. On Friday, Pop & Hiss' Gerrick Kennedy reported that the bout might not happen.

"The boxing match between George Zimmerman and DMX is not officially confirmed," Nati said in an email. He answered "I doubt it" when asked whether he thought one would come off at all.
After riding the top of the hip-hop charts more than a decade ago, the East Coast-born DMX has struggled with his recent albums, garnering more attention for his legal troubles.
The rapper, who had been chosen by Feldman from an apparent list of thousands of applicants, had justified his decision on moral grounds, saying he was doing this for "every black person who has been done wrong in the system."
In his statement, Nati was quick to shift gears from the news of the non-fight to DMX's upcoming tour dates (they are expected to take him to Europe, among other places). The boxing match may be no more, but the publicity train never stops.

Rep Power:
The Bristol 28 I purchased did not have a HIN. I did learn that this boat was hull number 10. The year of this boat was 1972 vice 74 as I had previously stated. So there is some misinformation somewhere as the hull numbers do not correlate.
The Farymann diesel is a well built sturdy little engine. I am concerned however that the watersides may be somewhat corroded. Since this is also the original engine, although still running, it is past its intended lifespan. I plan on removing and rebuilding the engine and installing it on a little work boat that I use in the bay. Parts are still available on line - I also believe there may be a new complete engine available on e-bay for about 3.5K.
My advice, if you are really interested in the boat, would be to offer 5K depending on the outcome of a survey. I bought, and still own, a Kettenburg 41 for 25K when it was listed for 45K and it had a brand new Yanmar diesel installed.
Good luck on you boat search,

UNMC researcher leads the effort to develop single-dose malaria drug
By Cheril Lee
Omaha, NE – Recently, researchers at UNMC discovered a next-generation malaria drug candidate.
Dr. Jonathan Vennerstrom, a Professor in UNMC's College of Pharmacy, led the team on the chemistry part of the project. He says the drug is now in Phase II-A Clinical Trials. Dr. Vennerstrom says this will be the first time the drug is tested. He says malaria patients in Cambodia and Thailand will be the first to receive the new single-dose drug. Currently, malaria patients must take three consecutive daily doses of the first-generation drug. Dr. Vennerstrom says compliance becomes much easier when you only have to take one dose of a medication. He says, the team "had to use a new chemical reaction to come up with a synthetic substitute for a very interesting natural product that was discovered in a plant in China in the late 70's. The idea behind our project was to come up with a less expensive and more readily available substitute for this product that could be easily administered and could become widely available."
Dr. Vennerstrom says because 90% of malaria cases occur in Africa, amongst impoverished populations, a single-dose drug is more cost-effective for those who have to take the medicine.

Children with asthma demonstrate significantly increased serum levels of the adipokine apelin-12, researchers report.
Furthermore, increased levels of apelin-12, which is expressed and secreted by adipocytes, were observed in both obese and normal-weight children with asthma.
The findings, published in Respiratory Medicine, suggest that "this adipokine may be implicated in the pathogenesis of childhood atopic asthma," say Alicja Kasperska-Zajac (Medical University of Silesia, Katowice, Poland) and team.
The researchers studied 89 children (61 boys), aged 7-17 years, with atopic asthma and 33 age- and gender-matched children without the condition.
Of the children with asthma, 30 (21 boys and nine girls) were obese, with a mean body mass index (BMI) of 24.6 kg/m2, and 59 (19 girls and 40 boys) were of normal weight, with a mean BMI of 18.3 kg/m2. All of the control children were of normal weight, with a mean BMI 18.3 kg/m2.
Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the team found that obese and normal-weight boys with asthma had significantly higher serum apelin-12 concentrations than control boys, at 167.8 and 163.9 versus 124.8 pg/mL, respectively.
Similarly, serum apelin-12 levels were significantly higher among obese and normal-weight girls with asthma compared with controls girls, at 188.9 and 186.2 versus 134.4 pg/mL, respectively.
Mean apelin-12 levels in girls with asthma were significantly higher than in boys with asthma. In the control group, there were no significant gender differences in apelin-12 levels.
There was no linear correlation between apelin-12 levels and BMI or BMI-standard deviation score among all the children. In those with asthma, apelin-12 did not relate to asthma severity, lung function measurements (spirometry), or degree of allergic sensitization.
Kasperska-Zajac et al conclude: "These findings suggest the potential association between apelin and atopic asthma.
"However, apelin -12 has limited value as potential biomarker in estimation of atopic asthma severity and degree of allergic sensitization."
They add: "Although this was a cross-sectional study with a relatively small sample size, we believe that our data may be a basis for further studies evaluating the possible role of adipokines in childhood atopic asthma pathogenesis."

[In English]
<< 246-310-261 >>
Agency filings affecting this section
Open heart surgery standards and need forecasting method.
(1) Open heart surgery means a specialized surgical procedure (excluding organ transplantation) which utilizes a heart-lung bypass machine and is intended to correct congenital and acquired cardiac and coronary artery disease.
(2) Open heart surgery is a tertiary service as listed in WAC
. To be granted a certificate of need, an open heart surgery program shall meet the standards in this section in addition to applicable review criteria in WAC
, and
(3) Standards.
(a) A minimum of two hundred fifty open heart surgery procedures per year shall be performed at institutions with an open heart surgery program.
(b) Hospitals applying for a certificate of need shall demonstrate that they can meet one hundred ten percent of the minimum volume standard. To do so, the applicant hospital must provide written documentation, which is verifiable, of open heart surgeries performed on patients referred by active medical staff of the hospital. The volume of surgeries counted must be appropriate for the proposed program (i.e., pediatric and recognized complicated cases would be excluded).
(c) No new program shall be established which will reduce an existing program below the minimum volume standard.
(d) Open heart surgery programs shall have at least two board certified cardiac surgeons, one of whom shall be available for emergency surgery twenty-four hours a day. The practice of these surgeons shall be concentrated in a single institution and arranged so that each surgeon performs a minimum of one hundred twenty-five open heart surgery procedures per year at that institution.
(e) Institutions with open heart surgery programs shall have plans for facilitating emergency access to open heart surgery services at all times for the population they serve. These plans should, at minimum, include arrangements for addressing peak volume periods (such as joint agreements with other programs, the capacity to temporarily increase staffing, etc.), and the maintenance of or affiliation with emergency transportation services (including contingency plans for poor weather and known traffic congestion problems).
(f) In the event two or more hospitals are competing to meet the same forecasted net need, the department shall consider the following factors when determining which proposal best meets forecasted need:
(i) The most appropriate improvement in geographic access;
(ii) The most cost efficient service;
(iii) Minimizing impact on existing programs;
(iv) Providing the greatest breadth and depth of cardiovascular and support services; and
(v) Facilitating emergency access to care.
(g) Hospitals granted a certificate of need have three years from the date the program is initiated to establish the program and meet these standards.
(h) These standards should be reevaluated in at least three years.
(4) Steps in the need forecasting method. The department will develop a forecast of need for open heart surgery every year using the following procedures.
(a) Step 1. Based upon the most recent three years volumes reported for the hospitals within each planning area, compute the planning area's current capacity and the percent of out-of-state use of the area's hospitals. In those planning areas where a new program is being established, the assumed volume of that institution will be the greater of either the minimum volume standard or the estimated volume described in the approved application and adjusted by the department in the course of review and approval.
(b) Step 2. Patient origin adjust the three years of open heart surgery data, and compute each planning area's age-specific use rates and market shares.
(c) Step 3. Multiply the planning area's age-specific use rates by the area's corresponding forecast year population. The sum of these figures equals the forecasted number of surgeries expected to be performed on the residents of each planning area.
(d) Step 4. Apportion the forecasted surgeries among the planning areas in accordance with each area's average market share for the last three years of the four planning areas. This figure equals the forecasted number of state residents' surgeries expected to occur within the hospitals in each planning area. In those areas where a newly approved program is being established, an adjustment will be made to reflect anticipated market share shifts consistent with the approved application.
(e) Step 5. Increase the number of surgeries expected to occur within the hospitals in each planning area in accordance with the percent of surgeries calculated as occurring in those hospitals on out-of-state residents, based on the average of the last three years. This figure equals the total forecasted number of surgeries expected to occur within the hospitals in each planning area.
(f) Step 6. Calculate the net need for additional open heart surgery services by subtracting the current capacity from the total forecasted surgeries.
(g) Step 7. If the net need is less than the minimum volume standard, no new programs shall be assumed to be needed in the planning area. However, hospitals may be granted certificate of need approval even if the forecasted need is less than the minimum volume standard, provided:
(i) The applying hospital can meet all the other certificate of need criteria for an open heart surgery program (including documented evidence of capability of achieving the minimum volume standard); and
(ii) There is documented evidence that at least eighty percent of the patients referred for open heart surgery by the medical staff of the applying hospital are referred to institutions more than seventy-five miles away.
(5) For the purposes of the forecasting method in this section, the following terms have the following specific meanings:
(a) Age-specific categories. The categories used in computing age-specific values will be fifteen to forty-four year olds, forty-five to sixty-four year olds, sixty-five to seventy-four year olds, and seventy-five and older.
(b) Current capacity. A planning area's current capacity for open heart surgeries equals the sum of the highest reported annual volume for each hospital within the planning area during the most recent available three years data.
(c) Forecast year. Open heart surgery service needs shall be based on forecasts for the fourth year after the certificate of need open heart surgery concurrent review process. The 1992 reviews will be based on forecasts for 1996.
(d) Market share. The market share of a planning area represents the percent of a planning area's total patient origin adjusted surgeries that were performed in hospitals located in that planning area. The most recent available three years data will be used to compute the age-specific market shares for each planning area.
(e) Open heart surgeries. Open heart surgeries are defined as DRGs 104 through 108, inclusive. All pediatric surgeries (ages fourteen and under) are excluded.
(f) Out-of-state use of planning area hospitals. The percent of out-of-state use of hospitals within a planning area will equal the percent of total surgeries occurring within the planning area's hospitals that were performed on patients from out-of-state (or on patients whose reported zip codes are invalid). The most recent available three years data will be used to compute out-of-state use of planning area hospitals.
(g) Patient origin adjustment. A patient origin adjustment of open heart surgeries provides a count of surgeries performed on the residents of a planning area regardless of which planning area the surgeries were performed in. (Surgeries can be patient origin adjusted by using the patient's zip code reported in the CHARS data base.)
(h) Planning areas. Four regional health service areas will be used as planning areas for forecasting open heart surgery service needs.
(i) Health service area "one" includes the following counties: Clallam, Island, Jefferson, King, Kitsap, Pierce, San Juan, Snohomish, Skagit, and Whatcom.
(ii) Health service area "two" includes the following counties: Cowlitz, Clark, Grays Harbor, Klickitat, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, Skamania, Thurston, and Wahkiakum.
(iii) Health service area "three" includes the following counties: Benton, Chelan, Douglas, Franklin, Grant, Kittitas, Okanogan, and Yakima.
(iv) Health service area "four" includes Adams, Asotin, Columbia, Ferry, Garfield, Lincoln, Pend Oreille, Stevens, Spokane, Walla Walla, and Whitman.
(v) Use rate. The open heart surgery use rate equals the number of surgeries performed on the residents of a planning area divided by the population of that planning area. The most recent available three years data is used to compute an averaged annual age-specific use rate for the residents of each of the four planning areas.
(6) The data source for open heart surgeries is the comprehensive hospital abstract reporting system (CHARS), office of hospital and patient data, department of health.
(7) The data source for population estimates and forecasts is the office of financial management population trends reports.

Which work fine > right up until the point that the best effort fails. That isn't the way I'm looking at it. Let me try to explain better. Consider you have a general case and some subclass of the problem which is easily solvable. What you do is restrict the language to the subclass: the general case is not useful precisely because it is incomprehensible, meaning you cannot easily form judgements about it. I want to give a real example of this. We all know that proving an arbitrary program terminates is impossible, where the programming system is Turing complete. My point is: who cares?? We clearly do NOT need Turing complete programming systems, because the behaviour is unpredictable. Programs are meant to have predictable behaviour. So you just restrict the language so that you CAN prove with some algorithm that every program terminates (or not). Oh yes, it has been done, and the language is very powerful (though not Turing complete). See Charity: all Charity programs terminate. True, some things you can write in Ocaml cannot be expressed in Charity. Also true: some things you can write in Python cannot be expressed in Ocaml (because the type system is not expressive enough whereas Python doesn't care). Yet, Ocaml is still useful for a large class of problems .. and one really has to push hard to find an application where the full power of dynamic typing is really needed. So I think really the issue here is trying to find a compromise between the ability to reason about something and the ability to express it: if the constraints are too tight reasoning is easy but irrelevant because you cant solve any problems, and if it is too expressive you can't reason and also cannot solve problems [in the sense that whilst the program appears to work you don't have any assurances from the system it will] Of course that balance is found by research, and new results allow the frontier to be pushed. In the case of Ocaml there is a strong emphasis on the type system as a means of constraining code [the aim is not to be sure the code works, but to gain *some* reasonable assurance -- in practice Ocaml strong typing is extremely good at predicting when my programs will work -- if it compiles it either works immediately of has only a few bugs in it] ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail email@example.com Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners

Politics of Poland Political parties Elections |
This article is part of a series on the politics and government of Poland |
Related topics
The League of Polish Families (Polish: Liga Polskich Rodzin, LPR) is a nationalist conservative political party in Poland, part of the Catholic-National Movement and with many elements of far-right ideology.[9][10][11][12][13][14] The party's original ideology was that of the national democracy movement which was headed by Roman Dmowski, however in 2006 its leader Roman Giertych distanced himself from that heritage.[15]
It was represented in the Polish parliament, forming part of the cabinet of Jarosław Kaczyński,[16] until the latter dissolved in September 2007.[17] In the 2007 Parliamentary election it failed to gain the 5% of votes required to enter the Sejm and lost all the seats it previously held, in addition to failing meeting the 3% of votes requirement for eligibility to receive government funding. Since then the party has become a minor political force but continues to exist.
The All-Polish Youth used to be affiliated with the party as its youth wing.
The LPR was created just before the elections in 2001 and gained 8% of the vote, giving it 38 out of 460 seats in the Sejm and 2 seats in the Senate. Its former leader, Roman Giertych, studied Law and History at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. During his career his political alliances have included such Polish National Democrats as Jan Łopuszański, Antoni Macierewicz,[18] Gabriel Janowski.[19]
Roman Giertych reactivated the "All-Polish Youth" (Młodzież Wszechpolska) organization in 1989, becoming its chairman; he remains honorary chairman. For several years he was a member of the National-Democratic Party (Stronnictwo Narodowo-Demokratyczne) and the National Party (Stronnictwo Narodowe), which merged with several other organizations to form the League of Polish Families (Liga Polskich Rodzin, LPR) in 2001.
Roman Giertych's father, Maciej Giertych, also a member of LPR, is a former member of the European Parliament. His grandfather was a member of parliament of the Second Polish Republic prior to World War II from the National Democracy Party. Some sources claim that the LPR owes much of its success to Radio Maryja, a Catholic radio station with a nationalist, ultra-conservative agenda.
The performance of League of Polish Families in the September 2001 elections, has been partly attributed to its well publicized and uncompromising attitude towards Jedwabne pogrom [20] During the election campaign Ryszard Bender, one of the LPR founders and leaders, participated in LPR television broadcasts denying the facts of the Jedwabne pogrom of 1941 and accusing President Aleksander Kwaśniewski, who participated in commemoration ceremony, that took place in the village of Jedwabne in July 2001, of bowing to Jewish interest groups.[21]
Soon after the election in 2001 a group of deputies separated from LPR, creating a new party known now as Polish Agreement led by Jan Łopuszański and Catholic-National Movement (Ruch Katolicko-Narodowy) led by Antoni Macierewicz.[citation needed]
In the 2004 elections to the European Parliament LPR received 15,2% votes, which gave it 10 out of 54 seats reserved for Poland in the European Parliament. This made the LPR the second largest party in Poland in that election, second only to the liberal conservative Civic Platform (PO), and well ahead of the then ruling post-communist Democratic Left Alliance, the populist Samoobrona and the conservative Law and Justice (PiS). However, overall turnout of that election was less than 20% of eligible voters. Thus, the long-term significance of the LPR's strong performance in that election is unclear. In the 2005 elections LPR again received 8% of votes, but saw its seats reduced from 38 to 34. However, it gained five seats in the Senate, taking it up to 7.
In the 2007 Parliamentary election it failed to gain the 5% of votes required to enter the Sejm and lost all its seats, in addition to failing meeting the 3% of votes requirement for eligibility to receive government funding. The leader of the party, Roman Giertych, has stepped down from his post as the party's leader, but remains a member.
Some present or former members of LPR (including Janusz Dobrosz) and five of its MEPs moved to Forward Poland in 2008/9.
The party has been described as belonging to the populist current in European politics, that juxtaposes the 'simple man' and the 'corrupt elite'.[22]
The Journal of Communist Studies and Transition Politics described the party as clerical-nationalist,[23] the party's agenda combining conservative social values, Christian solidarism and nationalism. Adam Michnik has characterized the groups that formed the party as the heirs of the chauvinist, xenophobic and anti-Semitic organizations of the pre-war Poland.[24]
Some of the policies the LPR opposes include: the selling of land to foreign (especially German expellees), abolishing the draft, legalization of "soft drugs", legalization of abortion, euthanasia, and gay marriage. It supports capital punishment, maintaining universal health care and public education, and supports the withdrawal of Polish troops from Iraq. The LPR also supports the publication of the complete archives of the Polish communist secret police—in other words, full "de-Communization".[citation needed]
The party particularly appealed to voters sympathetic towards traditional social values, the Catholic faith, and the concept of Polish national sovereignty. Its policies also attract some who feel lost in the post-1989 political transformation of the country, although the populist Andrzej Lepper's Samoobrona ("Self Defense"), also speaking out for the 'simple man', menaced by the post 1989 changes[22] thus appeal more directly to so-called marginalized voters. The press close to the party has published anti-semitic articles; some of the Polish politicians like Adam Michnik have been characterized as pink hyenas representing non-Polish interests, assisted by Mossad and "godless, satanical masons propagating nihilism and demoralisation." Those "dark forces" are said to be fiercely opposed to a Catholic state of the Polish nation.[25]
The party is considered staunchly homophobic,[26] and its opposition to same-sex marriage and several other demands of Polish gays and lesbians has led to condemnation of the party by the European Commission.[27] The party has been labelled as antisemitic by some authors.[28][29]
Stance towards the European Union[edit]
The party is anti-EU. The Economist reported in 2002 that the LPR spreads the word that the EU is a communist conspiracy.[30] Although it was the only significant political force in Poland that unconditionally opposed Polish membership in the European Union (believing that a union controlled by social liberals could never be reformed), after Polish accession to the EU the party participated in European Parliament elections, in order to have actual influence over decisions made regarding Poland. During the 2004 controversy surrounding Rocco Buttiglione (the conservative Italian nominee as European Commissioner for "Justice, Freedom, and Security"), the LPR deputies demanded the dissolution of the parliament, feeling that it was too much under the influence of a homosexual lobby.[citation needed].
Independence and Democracy[edit]
In 2004, 31 MEPs from the UK, Poland, Denmark and Sweden formed the new Independence/Democracy, formerly the group for Europe of Democracies and Diversities. The main goals of this group were the rejection of any European Constitution and opposition to any plans for a federal Europe.

This is a nice quality table for light drafting/drawing. It's great looking too! You do have to assemble it. The instructions were pretty clear and I was able to do it even though I have little experience assembling things. They shorted me 1 screw but other than that , no snags. Note there is a 25 lb weight limit on the glass. Also note that as it is a smaller sized table, the table is not as tall as some of the large tables. I wanted a smaller table and so I am happy with these features. All in all I am very pleased with my StudioDesigns table and with Overstock.com.
The future craft station is very well made. Assembly was not too difficult, just time consuming.
This workstation is perfect for my needs. It is sturdy and comfortable to work on. Highly recommend!
Very slick design, easy to put together, my daughter went online and got a step by step video. I saved about $*** going through overstock.com
I dabble in calligraphy, scrapbooking and card making so I wanted a desk that tilted and had a glass top so I could place a light source behind it. This desk fit the bill and as an added bonus its sleek modern design is beautiful. I've had it for about a year now and I love everything about it. It was easy enough to assemble. It took a few hours one evening of very distracted assembly while sitting in front of the tv so it didn't require a whole lot of attention. The assembly instructions were a little vague but not too bad. The tilt mechanism is easy to use and sturdy enough. My only criticism would be that the side trays are a little flimsy and have a tendency to pop off if you're not careful.
Desk is just perfect. Has a beautiful look and feel, very functional and is just what we were looking for. We were pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to put together and how well made it is. Very glad we got this desk.
I like the storage that it has. It's very sturdy and of good quality. I'd buy again when needed.

Ask any musician about the secret to "overnight success" and he will tell you that it comes only after years of practice and dedication to his craft. It also takes time to build personal connections with fans who will carry you to the top of the charts.
That's the kind of commitment all of us at On Hold Company take personally. While we would never call ourselves "Rockstars," we were unexpectedly given that title by Ken Chin, one of our clients in Chicago. Here's what he had to say:
"Dear On Hold Company Rockstars,
I am amazed at how quickly we turned this all around. YOU ALL ROCK!
The new message sounds great and your level of service has been impeccable!
Ken Chin
Practice Manager & Marketing Director
The Running Institute"
We are flattered by that response. And it means more than we can say, especially in light of the details. Here's a backstage pass to the rest of the story:
Ken contacted us while searching for a new on-hold provider for The Running Institute. He was considering several options and had a specific timeline in mind for moving in a new direction. After initially discussing his needs, we actually referred him to another provider since he was rarely updating the marketing content of his on-hold messages. We tried to help him find exactly what he wanted, rather than "sell" him on something outside his agenda.
We thought that would be it. But Ken called us back after visiting the website of the other provider. It wasn't what he was looking for. After talking further about long-term on-hold strategies, resources and ad concepts that would help promote their social media connections and website, Ken asked us for a free Demo. Apparently, it went well.
Then, we worked to tailor a marketing plan that was in line with his goals and budget. Finally, we made sure that everything was up and running inside of the timeframe Ken gave us. And that's when we received his Rockstar note. The key, according to Ken, was how promptly our team responded to his questions and needs. These Rolling Stones gather no moss.
"It all happened really quickly, and exactly the way I wanted it to," he said. "I really appreciated that sense of urgency. I like the way it was handled."
Our personal touch also struck a chord with him. "There's something to be said about a hand-written card," Ken said. "I really appreciated Timothy sending that. It's the little things that really matter."
If you are looking for a new sound, give On Hold Company an audition. We're ready to rock your on-hold messages… and all the behind-the-scenes details.

50 Cent Accused Of Hitting His Child's Mother Daphne Joy
50 Cent has been charged with domestic violence after he allegedly kicked his ex-girlfriend and trashed her apartment. According to a police report, 50 went to the woman's home in Toluca Lake, CA on June 23 and broke her chandeliers, furniture, a TV, lamp, and trashed her entire bedroom closet, causing over $7,100 in damages.
The woman told police that she hid in her bathroom to avoid him harming her any further, the woman has a child by 50, and is not Shaniqua Tompkins, the mother of his 16-year-old Marquis.
After digging a little further, it seems as though model Daphne Joy (whom 50 dated for 3 years) had a child by him sometime last year.
50 Cent is due in court on July 22 and faces up to five years in jail and $46,000 in fines if convicted.

"Short stay at Elcot Park"
16th July 2013, vic_gillespie, London, United Kingdom
We usually stay at the the Mercure Bowden Hall, so this was our first visit to Elcot Prk.We were looking for a quiet restful break and that is what this Hotel provides. the hotel is situated up a quiet lane and more than far enough away form the M4 to the north and theA4 to the south to avoid any road noise whatsoever. The room was excellent, we had asked for a top floor quiet room with a view over the gardens and that is exactly what we got. The food was excellent and good value for money and the restaurant has picture windows with views over the hotel grounds and beyond.Tip: check before booking if any events are taking place as the night we stayed there was a corporate event which meant we were restricted to a smaller (although still good) dining room and lounge area. this did not, however, spoil our enjoyment.The weather was exceptionally warm, but fortunately a floor mounted fan was provided in the room.

"Good location; good service"
18th January 2013, Robert K, Adelaide, Australia
We stayed at this hotel after visiting Stonehenge and Avebury. It is in a very quiet spot just off the A4. The service was excellent. Not many guests (being a country hotel in mid January), so the staff recommended we ate in the bar, not in the restaurant which was not so cozy.

Our stay here was really enjoyable so much so that we're returning again next month. The room standard was excellent & the staff very friendly & helpful. The food was of a very high standard indeed & service excellent. There are lovely views across from the restaurant & the hotel was in a fabulous setting & location for exploring the local area. The leisure facilities ok but pool quite small & not suitable for those who like a full swim especially if there are families splashing around as in our case.Our only fault was that our room was close to the function room & the disco very loud. However the music stopped promptly @ midnight so wasn't too much of a problem for us but for a family with young children this might be so.

"Will not stay again"
26th December 2012, Jslfamily, Brisbane
Nice country location. But we had to carry out suitcases up a spiral stair case, not lift! Although our room was in the new part, the toilet seat was yellow! The restaurant was in the little function room due to a wedding in the restaurant. The waiter was rude! The breakfast staff the next morning at first decided to stand around and do nothing or take a seat! Tea was cold and I had to go over to them to ask for a new pot. The Reception staff member when I checked out decided to tell me you get what you pay for. So basically, too bad. Well why ask me if you have a come back about your hotel. Will not stay here again.

"pleasant but nothing exceptional"
18th September 2012, andrasz, Budapest, Hungary
A pleasant quiet place to stay for a night if you happen to be in the area (and have your own means of transport). Nothing exceptional though, would not go out of the way just to spend some time here.

We arrived at 2130. The hotel was hosting a wedding and had made no provision to provide bar and resturant facilities for other guests, so we were confined to our room.I don't think I'd stay there again, unless I was desperatre.

Management responseI am sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your stay at Elcot Park. Although the restaurant had finished for the night you should have been offered the option of room service and I apologise that this did not happen.

"Fantastic Value, Friendly Staff and Great Location"
21st July 2012, mrmarcb, London, United Kingdom
We stayed in one of the balcony rooms 55/56 in the new section; also I would recommend room 25 in the old section and rooms 3 and 20 in the Mews, all adding different features and benefits to suit most tastes. The reception/Gym/bar/dining room and Chamber maid staff was all friendly and polite, the only disappointment apart from the great British weather, was the very poor meal we had on the Sunday evening at the Hotel. I did leave a letter for the hotel manager praising the staff and the hotel, but stating my surprise and great dissatisfaction with the lack of quality and long delay with our dinner. I am still awaiting a reply, but this one bad experience could not distract from an otherwise lovely, charming and refreshing break at a hotel we would strongly recommend and return to.Good luck and Enjoy your stay Marc and Beata.

Management responseThank you for your positive comments regarding your stay, I have fed these back to the staff and they are very appreciative. Feedback is very important to us to ensure our pursuit of excellence is maintained. I am sorry that the previous General Manager did not reply to your letter, however we do now have new manager and I can assure you that this situation will not happen again.Fiona RumseySales Manager
