The federalist and his enemies
In 1962, a combination of narrow-mindedness, dark mischief and reckless manoeuver led the retrograde, even if dominant, political elite and their cronies across the country, particularly in Western Nigeria, to start an elaborate scheme of both political and physical liquidation of the man who was fighting hard to prevent the homogenisation of the Nigerian ruling elite. As we mark the 50th anniversary of that infantile and self-defeating conspiracy - which eventually consumed the key elements whose intolerance produced the plan - their heirs are again showing that they are poor students of pertinent history.
If the latest scheme to steal the political patrimony of the people of western Nigeria, which was recently revealed, were not a path to a gaping tragedy, it would have constituted yet another humour in a country whose leadership and dominant conservative political elite are a tragic joke. But because of the bloody trail of such cruel jokes in the past and the collusion of the security forces with earlier jokers of this type, it is perhaps important to remind the inheritors of this mantle of national tragedy - and many Nigerians who might assume that it is a local or localized problem - that the room that the PDP mischief-makers in Osun State, their collaborators at the federal level and in the security services want to set on fire will lead to a conflagration which could eventually consume the whole estate.
Recently, the Department of State Security (DSS) was reported to have received an "intelligence report" about a plan by Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State to "Islamise" the state and subsequently "secede" from Nigeria. Based on this, the DAILY SUN newspaper reported that "The Federal Government has mobilized virtually all security agencies in the country to put Osun State governor… on 24-hour surveillance." If you thought the report was inaccurate or that the reported "instruction" to "all security agencies" to put the governor of "24-hour surveillance" was exaggerated, the silence of the DSS and the National Security Adviser (NSA) would seem to "confirm" that, indeed, there is sufficient "recognition" among the security agencies and their chiefs of a possible "security threat" emanating from the Government House in Osogbo.
Yet, the "report" is so unintelligent that one would wonder about the ridiculous misuse of words that allows it to be called an "intelligence report". Governor Aregbesola, in his broadcast to the people of the state and in subsequent media interviews, has already given a lie to these allegations and pointed to the illogicality of the premises on which they are based. A truly intelligent analysis of these allegations would show that, if indeed the security agencies have taken them seriously, then they have elected to waste our collective resources and their otherwise precious time on pepper-soupy twaddle or beer-parlour, low-quality gossips. It is also evident that the "report" could not have emanated from any other quarters than from the reprobate ballot-pilferers in Osun State and their allies who stole Aregbesola's mandate before it was retrieved through the courts.
Yet, it is important to go beyond the evident pranks of these elements to understand not only what is at stake locally and nationally, but also to put what we are witnessing in historical perspective. This will not be the first time that progressive political leaders in the west of Nigeria would be accused of planning to overthrow the federal government by force of arms and/or planning to secede from Nigeria. The additional accusation of "Islamization" in the case of Aregbesola is only a distraction from the old script that the conservative power phalanx in Nigeria and their local collaborators in western Nigeria have always used. The question would be why always the west?
Before I attempt to provide the historical background that would illuminate the answer to this question, it is important to draw attention to a seemingly unrelated statement which was made in far-away Canada, only a few days after the spurious "intelligence report" was advertised in the newspapers. I do this to draw attention to the fundamental futility of Nigeria's unrelenting, but ultimately futile, bid - even before independence - to forcefully and undemocratically homogenize a diverse people and impose a unitarist structure on a naturally federal polity.
As the contrived controversy over the "Islamisation" of Osun and its planned "secession" became a major item in the news, a critical statement attributed to the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, escaped the attention of many people. Speaking in Canada, Ekweremadu called for the immediate decentralisation of the police in line with the federal system in Nigeria. He also added, and this is crucial, that "Nigerians [should] spare a thought on a possible return to regionalism where the six geopolitical zones would become the federating units." This news ought to have been reported with an exclamation mark, as loud as a thunderclap. But the news managers in Nigeria would seem to have missed the significance of this position by the Deputy Senate President.
Although Ekweremadu stated that he was making the second call based on the countless demands for the creation of states, what he said is of great significance. By the last count, these demands had reached 46. Stated the Deputy Senate President: "A return to the regions in the long term seems a major plausible thing to do if we are to nurse any hopes of reversing the dwindling fortunes of our federalism by engendering viability and self-reliance of the component units, massive development, healthy competition, reduce cost of governance and enthrone acceptable level of equity."
Ostensibly, in Ekweremadu's view, adding 46 to the 36 mostly unviable states would only push Nigeria further into the unitarist embrace which has been the core idea or practice of two of the three key power-blocs in Nigeria's history.
Ekweremadu is not your standard "NADECO" or "Afenifere" "zealot". He is not a member of a progressive party, nor has he pretended to any grand ideas about how to take Nigeria out of the absolute quagmire into which she has been further pushed by a criminal elite that has governed her since independence. He is a leading member of the Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP), a party which, more than any other political party in Nigeria's history, has betrayed a soullessness and absolute lack of vision that would shock future historians. Therefore, if Ekweremadu could see the futility of the current political arrangement and the configuration of power at the centre - which are central to Nigeria's seemingly intractable problem - then we ought to pay attention.
But how is this related to the fabrications against Aregbesola? Aregbesola's fundamental political beliefs and practical actions as the governor of the State of Osun (as he is "accused" of calling his state) is precisely the validation of the federal principle which is, at least theoretically, and clearly also constitutionally, the very basis of the political unity of Nigeria. Politically, Aregbesola is convinced that the "dwindling fortunes of our federalism", among others things, is dictated primarily by the massive assault on federalism, which has been systematically engineered by the dominant (national) ruling elite in Nigeria. Practically and symbolically, he is taking steps to ensure that in word and in deed, his state operates and is recognised as a federating unit in Nigeria, which, even within the limitations of this era, can be viable, self-reliant and well-governed. The symbols of his state which he has conceived and promoted are all within the constitutional powers of a federating unit. Beyond that, Aregbesola is also prepared to engage with the process that would ensure a healthy competition among the federating units in Nigeria towards the achievement of an egalitarian life for all – or what Obafemi Awolowo famously described as "freedom for all and life more abundant."
Ekweremadu's statement is yet another indication that the unresolved questions in the Nigerian polity about the basis of national structural unity and the practices of freedom and difference by the federating units are at the centre of the national crisis. Even if the spurious allegations against a practising federalist such as Governor Aregbesola mirror the contemporary struggle for a democratic and federal Nigeria, it would be wrong to conclude that this is a local plot that is limited by the wild ambition of the conservative (and unpopular) politicians in the southwest PDP (particularly in Osun State) evident in the attempt to hang the burden of "terrorist" and "secessionist" on Aregbesola's neck in order to destroy him. The truth is that, this local, even if immediately limited, plot is linked to a larger national struggle by the conservative coalition to "force" the west of Nigeria into their villainous "mainstream" – as President Olusegun Obasanjo once boasted; it is also part of an old battle to ensure that Nigeria is not a federal state in principle, or in practice.
To be able to understand the long-term implications of this battle, of which Aregbesola is the latest victim, it is important to return to the experience of the man, Obafemi Awolowo, who has been, even in death, the greatest stumbling block to the unrelenting attempt to homogenize the Nigerian political class, terminate the country's plurality, nullify the egalitarian principles which have fuelled the home base of progressive politics in Nigeria, and therefore annul the possibility of Nigeria ever becoming a truly federal, truly democratic, and truly just polity, one about which every component part and all her citizens would be truly proud. The central argument about why and how to compose a federal state in Nigeria and the absolute necessity of egalitarian rule is essentially an Awolowo argument. He continues to be the embodiment of that twin principle.
This returns me to the question I asked earlier, why always the west? Why do they always want to "capture" the west (as a "matter of life and death" as one of the most brazen of their leaders once described it)? Why do they always pronounce the west's passion for plurality as a plot for secession?

New York Giants receiver Victor Cruz is the perfect idol and role model for people. He's humble despite being extremely talented and famous. I wish more pro athlete's would follow his lead and treat his fans the way that he does.Cruz heard that Jack Pinto, a 6-year-old who was lost in the tragic Connecticut shooting, was a huge fan of Cruz. To honor him, Cruz decided to honor Pinto by writing on his cleats and gloves, a move that makes me a huge Victor Cruz fan.The New York Giants, Jets and New England Patriots have all created decals for today's game for Newtown, Connecticut. And professional basketball players Kevin Durant and LeBron James wrote on their shoes for their basketball games. I hope that more athlete's follow their leads and do something similar.My sincerest condolences to the entire Pinto family. My prayers are with you during this extremely difficult time.— Victor Cruz (@TeamVic) December 16, 2012Today's game is for you Jack.lockerz.com/s/269440422 lockerz.com/s...

Week 8: prep football preview
Grossmont at Helix: East County's oldest rivals are both undefeated. The series has been one-sided, with Grossmont beating Helix only once in the past 26 meetings. Versatile QB Desean Waters leads the Foothillers, passing for 227.2 yards a game and 15 touchdowns. DL Sam Meredith and DB Jimmy Pruitt anchor a Helix defense that has allowed only two touchdowns.
Eastlake at Chula Vista: Eastlake owns the San Diego Section's longest winning streak at 18 games. Senior Chris Fletcher, junior Jude Isbell and sophomore Aaron Baltazar are all averaging more than 8.5 yards a carry for the Titans' rushing attack. Quarterback Ricky Estevez leads the Chula Vista offense.
University City at San Diego: These are heady times for coach John Hutsel's Centurions, who have won three straight and will take command in the Central League with a fourth. UC handed Morse its first league loss last week in the first-ever football game between the schools. San Diego started strong and is looking to regroup by knocking off UC to jumble the Central League race.
Rancho Bernardo at Torrey Pines: Both Torrey Pines and Rancho Bernardo are averaging 35 points a game. So will it be an offensive contest or a defensive struggle like RB's 13-9 win last year over the Falcons? Both offenses feature the ground game. Broncos RB Tyler Gomogda (10 TDs) and Torrey RB John Wilson (6 TDs) have found themselves in the end zone more than anyone.
El Camino at Carlsbad: These familiar foes reunite in the new Avocado West League. El Camino looks to claim its third straight victory in the series, led by senior Ryan Ena, who had a last-minute TD catch and two sacks in last week's 15-14 win over Fallbrook. Senior QB Cody Pinner guides Carlsbad, which seeks to break out of a 1-3 midseason skid.
Crawford homecoming: Crawford has been forced to forfeit the remainder of its games. The Colts don't have enough players because of injuries and academic ineligibility. The school will still hold its homecoming at 3 p.m. today, featuring Crawford's junior varsity team against the Kearny JV.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. ~Oscar Wilde
Trading is in my DNA.
I started trading at the age of 16 with my father. My first ever live trade was in GBPJPY in a $600 account. Needless to say, I blew up this account in days (carelessness, leverage, lack of discipline, etc.). Then I blew up another couple of thousand dollars. Thankfully, I didn't have any more money to trade back then and that stopped the blowing streak.
11 years have passed. Studies, jobs, marriage and family has kept trading to a passive passion all these years. I don't remember a day going by without me looking at my charts. But my live active trading had been pretty limited until recently. Now for the last 3 months, I have started to give a significant portion of my day looking at markets, backtesting and of course trading live. In fact, I'm up by 60% in my live account since the last 3 months.
I trade using support/resistance levels and chart patterns (classic/candlesticks). I have a long-term system which I use on 20 currency pairs. My entry/exits are based on daily charts. Yes, I don't "day trade" as of now. I think trading the daily charts gives me more time to backtest and improve my trading. In any case, since I work full-time, day trading can become challenging.
I started this blog a couple of years ago to record my journey as I revive my trading. However, with a new city and marriage, my focus wasn't exactly on trading/writing. Now since things are pretty settled, I plan to start writing and sharing my ideas again. I'll be posting my systems, my charts, my trades and lots of educational stuff. I also plan to start a youtube channel to make some videos on how I trade and how beginners can learn to trade with high accuracy and discipline.
Besides trading, I work full-time for a bank as an investment expert. No, I don't trade for the bank. In fact, I advise the bank on macro economic events, key market event risks and asset classes.

As I recall D-19 is a "clean-working industrial developer" because it produces very little fog and is a higher-contrast developer. It probably is paired with aerial films because aerial photographers are always fighting haze, so fog on the film base is counterproductive. I used it in school with Tri-X Ortho film to make shadowgraphs of bullets in flight. It does produce very little fog.

Governor Dayton recently implemented an "Online Suggestion Box" idea in the hopes of making state government work better, faster or simpler, and the idea has already yielded well over a hundred suggestions. Dayton says he will turn the best suggestion box ideas into an "Unsession" of the Legislature next year as a way to undo unnecessary laws, rules and regulations. Some of the suggestions included recommendations as simple as turning off the lights in vacant state offices and repealing unpopular taxes, while others were for ideas such as a state "Bake Sale" fundraiser with activities such as politician dunk tanks and other competitions. Another suggestion was for the entire state government, including every member of the Legislature, to resign and not run again for at least 6 years to allow new people with new ideas a chance to govern. "Unsession" suggestions will continue to be taken online through September 12th on the website mn.gov/governor/unsession.

The Valley City Police Department will soon have two new Tahoes, one will be a patrol vehicle.
Police chief Fred Thompson weighed the pros and cons of purchasing SUVs and sedans, and decided the SUV were the better vehicle for his department for several reasons one being that the Tahoes had 4-wheel drive.
For more about the Valley City Police Department's new vehicles, read Tuesday's Times-Record.

In 1978 a team of over 40 American scientists thoroughly examined and tested the Shroud of Turin using the best science of the time.

Barnes On the Move Partnership finished its month-long On the Move for Students campaign March 30.
Andrea Winter, Licensed Registered Dietitian with Young People's Healthy Heart Program at Mercy Hospital, said the program, sponsored by the Barnes On the Move Partnership and North Dakota Cancer Coalition, encourages local students to engage in physical activity at least 60 minutes per day at least five days a week.
Nearly 10,000 children in North Dakota are without health insurance. while the number seems high, a study released by the North Dakota State University Extension Service and North Dakota KIDS COUNT indicates that North Dakota is actually doing a good job at insuring its children, and Barnes County is one of the counties with a lower rate of uninsured children.
A variety of state programs can help families provide medical care for children and ensure access to health, dental, and vision care to nearly every child in Barnes County.
Close to 500 middle and high school students participated in Thursday's Regional Science Olympiad at Valley City State University, with winning teams advancing to state competition at Fargo.

PASCO - Wa-Hi's golfers finished in fourth place at the Pasco Invitational at Sun Willows Golf Course Monday.
The invite included Scotch ball, a chapman and a scramble.
Wa-Hi's Scotch ball team of Cassie Patterson and Larissa Mercado shot a 111 for third place.
Scramble team Kendall Dunovant and Allison Shrouf had a 90 for third, and chapman team Jessica Huntsman and Addie Chapman had a 123.
"This was a whole different format than anything the girls have ever played," said Wa-Hi golf coach Mike Patterson. "It's a fun, competitive little tournament, and I was able to put some girls who haven't played with other girls on the same team. It's a good learning experience for the entire team."
Pasco and West Valley tied at 24 points to lead the invite. Eastmont had 20.5, Wa-Hi 20, Kamiakin 19, Kennewick 19, Chiawana 17.5, Richland 14, Eisenhower 11, Southridge 10 and Hanford 6.
Wa-Hi travels to Yakima for its final pod match of the year today. The results today will determine which of the Big Nine's girls will qualify for 33 spots to districts, which begin next Monday.

The clashes, which have spread to parts of four provinces, pit an array of moderate and ultra-conservative Islamist brigades against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, an extremist group that has become both feared and resented for trying to impose its hard-line interpretation of Islam.
The fighting did not appear to be a turn in unison by Syrian rebel groups against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant but rather an outburst of violence against the al Qaida-linked group in communities where tensions with other opposition factions were already simmering.
In some parts of northern Syria, the backlash has been brewing for months.

By some standards, it is shaping up to be a bad day for Dr. Dean — attacked by a Club for Growth ad on tax-and-spend; savaged by the deeply, cosmically influential New York Times and Boston Globe ed boards for the sealed gubernatorial records; and psychoanalyzed by his fellow doctor — Dr. Krauthammer — who hides his attack inside a diagnosis. LINK
But in other ways, The Doctor remains very much in … … line to enter the New Year quite strong.
For instance, all in the swirl of 48 hours or so, Chris Peterson, Bruce Babbitt, and Paul Simon all stand up and get counted for Howard Dean's 15 percent threshold reach.
If you don't know who Chris Peterson is, your name is not "Bill Bradley." LINK
And the New York Times ' Adam Nagourney lets Karl Rove in on a little secret — Karen Hicks has captured lightning in a bottle in New Hampshire for Dr. Dean. LINK
Speaking of Rove, as we suggested, his name floats above (or is it "below"?) almost all those steel tariff stories.
But the Wall Street Journal 's Hamburger and Hitt say the Bush-Rove White House plays tough.
Meanwhile, the men who want to elevate their games and elbow past everyone else towards Dean are grabbing at every reed they can.
Behind Dean in sketchy public polling in the Granite State by 35 points?
Trumpet it as great success!!!! So go Joe Lieberman and Wes Clark.
John Kerry gets an para-obit must-read from Dan Balz in the Washington Post LINK, and/but the endorsement of Manchester (NH) Mayor Baines, and he goes up with a new spot.
And who is pulling a 3/5 Ginsberg this Sunday?
None other than FFLOTUS/Senator Hillary R. Clinton, who still could, in theory, waltz in and have the nomination if she wanted it. But that is just a theory.
Consider it a reminder that it's time for your annual check of the batteries in your smoke detector at home, with New York's Junior Senator appearing on not one, not two, but three network Sunday shows. (The Googling monkeys are still checking on when someone last pulled this off from the Hill.)
Despite the implied gravity of this impressive logistical trifecta, we're assured that the H(RC)-bomb will be not be dropped, and that this was borne in large part by all the shows' anxiousness to talk to her post-road trip to Iraq and Afghanistan.
We are also assured that it is not a veiled attempt to skyrocket past Senate Armed Service colleague Carl Levin on Roll Call 's coveted Face Time chart.
Still unclear is whether she will bring slides.
Note Note to Philippe: skip the CBS breakfast and hold out for the perfectly cooked bacon in the ABC green room.
Those scoring at home remember that it's been nearly 15 months since her last Sunday show.
Check her out on "This Week," "Face," and "Meet."
And we are certain that the national political press corps won't let this little thing overshadow the actual Democratic presidential candidates appearing serially before Florida's Democratic Party activists over the weekend.
President Bush speaks at a fundraiser and about the economy in Maryland today. He is in Washington, D.C. over the weekend.
Former President George H.W. Bush headlines a Coral Gables, Fla., fundraiser for his son's re-election campaign today.
Vice President Cheney introduces two congressmen in Tulsa and Abilene, Texas, today. He is in Washington, D.C. over the weekend.

My friends and I have been driving for two and a half hours straight. Outside the car window, the afternoon sky is filled with opaque clouds that look like chalk dust smeared across the great blue sky. We made our way across Connecticut to Minnewaska NY to catch the season's peak foliage blooms.
New York City hasn't bloomed yet. In Central Park, you can see wide splotches of green still stubbornly hold on to the landscapes, resisting the inevitable change. Summer seems so far out of reach.
We stopped by a charming farmer's market. Outside in the fields, you can see large swatches of pumpkins dot the landscape. Inside, the smell of nutmeg and cinnamon lingered in the air. I sat myself down next to a warm hearth and burned my back. But I didn't care. I miss this warmth.

A system and method for dynamic conversion of data to markup language format. A method for conversion of input data to a mark-up format comprises creating a logical structure for an output document in the markup format from a markup format definition, parsing the logical structure to obtain nodes and node attributes defined by the markup format definition; and generating a table of nodes based on the nodes of the logical structure. The nodes of the table are arranged based on requirements from the markup format definition and values are inserted for the nodes, with values being derived from the input data. An output document based on the logical structure is then generated.
1. A method for conversion of input data to a markup format comprising:
creating a logical structure for an output document in the markup format from a markup format definition;
parsing the logical structure to obtain nodes and node attributes defined by the markup format definition;
generating a table of nodes based on the nodes of the logical structure;

Embodiments of the invention generally relate to the field of computer data operations and, more particularly, to dynamic conversion of data to markup language format.
In the operation of a server or other system, data may require conversion into a certain format. In particular example, the system may utilize a markup language, such XML (extensible markup language) or a similar language, in operation. For example, an XML schema or other format definition may provide the format for a valid output document.
However, the process of conversion of data into XML or a similar format may require additional computer overhead whenever data structure changes are made. For example, in conventional operations in which data is converted according to a certain XML schema, a structure may be generated to represent the output. In this example, any modification of the schema, the elements of the schema, or attributes of such elements will result in a need for reprocessing of the output structure.
If a system or process involves fairly frequent modification of schemas, or includes a very large number of schemas, then data conversion may create a large computer overhead burden.
A system and method for dynamic conversion of data to markup language format.
According to first aspect of the invention, a method for converting input data to a markup format includes creating a logical structure for an output document from a markup format definition and parsing the logical structure to obtain nodes and node attributes. A table of nodes is generated based on the nodes of the logical structure, the nodes are arranged based on requirements from the format definition, and values are inserted for the nodes, with values being derived from the input data. An output document based on the logical structure is then generated.
Embodiments of the invention are illustrated by way of example, and not by way of limitation, in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals refer to similar elements.
Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to a system and method for dynamic conversion of data into markup language.
In an embodiment of the invention, data is converted dynamically to a markup language, such as XML. In this embodiment, a tool is provided to more efficiently work with data by allowing conversion of data at runtime. In an embodiment of the invention, data is dynamically converted to a markup format according to markup format definition. A markup format definition may include an XML schema. According to the embodiment, the modification of a format definition does not affect a conversion process because the conversion is performed at runtime.
In one embodiment, a conversion of data to a markup format includes the dynamic creation of intermediate structures representing a tree structure for a markup document. In an embodiment, an intermediate structure is a logical document for each relevant markup format definition, such as each relevant XML schema.
While the discussion presented here generally refers to XML as an example, embodiments of the invention are not limited to XML. An embodiment of the invention will provide dynamic transformation to any markup format that represents data hierarchically. A markup language is a language providing formatting codes, such as codes for indicating layout and styling. A markup language or format includes XML, SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language), and HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). The description of XML includes Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Third Edition), Feb. 4, 2004, by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
For the purposes of this application, a markup format definition or description defines the structure of data in a markup language or format. For example, a schema is a model for describing the structure of information. Specifically, a schema describes a model for a class of documents or files, describing the possible arrangement of tags and text that may exist in a valid document. In XML, a schema will represent a model for a class of documents or objects. The schema defines the legal elements of an XML document according to the schema and describes the possible arrangement of elements in a valid document. The definition will include such matters as the elements and attributes that can appear in a document, which elements are child elements and the order and number of child elements, whether an element is empty or can include text, the data types for elements and attributes, and any default or fixed values for elements and attributes. Another type of definition is a DTD (document type definition), an older format for documents that was derived from SGML, with XML being a reduced version or subset of SGML.
In an embodiment of the invention, a schema or other markup description, and any schemas that the schema refers to, are read dynamically. Upon uploading the relevant descriptions, each schema is converted into a logical document and then parsed to obtain the list of elements and element attributes defined by the schema. This list then may be stored and put in the form of an internal table. The list of elements in the table may not be in the same order as required in the output file and the data in the internal table is arranged to reflect the schema or schemas. The resulting structure then is populated with the required data and an output file is produced. In one embodiment of the invention, the XML leaf nodes generated are mapped with the corresponding original data fields to produce an XML file.
In one example, a class is generated for the conversion of data to XML format. In this embodiment, the class reads a schema at runtime and, based on the schema definition, the class creates intermediate structures representing the DOM (document object model). The schema and all other schemas that this schema refers to are then uploaded. A logical schema document is created for each such schema.
Each schema document is parsed to generate a list of nodes based on the schema definition. The list of nodes is arranged based on the relevant schema definitions. A list of attributes for each of the nodes in the list is then obtained.
A logical XML document is generated, and the nodes contained in the list are appended to the logical document. If attributes for the nodes are defined, then such attributes are created. If it is determined that any of the nodes are optional, such optional nodes then may be deleted. The encoding for the XML result then may be set. If encoding has been defined for a schema, then this encoding is set if no other value is supplied. The result of the operations is a dynamically generated XML document.
In an embodiment of the invention, the leaf nodes of a schema, which are the nodes that terminate and do not have any child nodes, are filled with the proper data and the data in the internal table is converted to XML format. In this manner, any future changes to the main schema or referenced schema will not require any maintenance. Further, an embodiment of the invention will allow for reading and converting any schema, and thus an embodiment provides a generic process for file conversion. An embodiment of the invention allows conversion of data to XML format with minimal maintenance effort.
In a conventional conversion of data to XML or another markup format, significant overhead may be required to maintain the data transformation in this example. For example, database tables may be needed to store information about the nodes of the markup document and the attributes of the nodes, or a structure may be needed to represent the document object model (DOM) or the output file, the DOM being an object representation of an XML document that represents an XML document as a tree of nodes. For example, a convention methods may include creation of a structure such as a DDIC (data dictionary) structure provided by SAP AG that represents the output XML tree With conventional methodology, a great deal of effort is required to maintain the conversion processes. For example, if a schema, the elements of the schema, or the attributes of such elements are changed at any point in the future, then the database table entries or the structure representing the DOM will need to be modified to reflect the change. Further, if a schema refers to one or more other schemas, then the same type of information for the other schemas needs to be maintained in a table or in a structure representing the schema. In an embodiment of the invention, the maintenance requirements for a large system are simplified by the implementation of dynamic conversion of data into the required formats.
The appropriate node values 235 are obtained from the input data 205 and the schemas 210-215. The schemas may provide for calculations of data and default values for elements. If any special characters require conversion for the output file, such characters are converted 240. The data in the table 225 then is converted to XML format 245. If needed, encoding for the output document is set 250. A logical XML document is then generated 255, which can then be downloaded as needed.
When logical documents have been produced for each of the relevant schemas, the node tree is arranged to match the required XML output format 425. Then, using the data, the node values and attribute values are used to populate the nodes of the node tree 430. Any special characters are converted as needed 435, and the data contained in the node tree is converted to XML format 440. If needed, any encoding for the XML document is then set 445. The logical XML document can then be rendered 450 and the XML file can then be downloaded 455.
People integration 502 is performed using a portal solution 512 and a platform to work in collaboration 514. Users are provided a multi-channel access 510 to ensure mobility. Examples of the portal solution 512 include SAP Enterprise Portal, SAP Mobile Engine, and Collaboration Package for SAP Enterprise Portal. Information integration 504 refers to the conversion of information into knowledge. Information integration 504 provides efficient business intelligence 518 and knowledge management 520 using, for example, SAP products such as Business Information Warehouse (BW) and Knowledge Management (KM). Further, consolidation of master data management beyond system boundaries is performed using SAP's Master Data Management (MDM) 516. Process integration 506 refers to optimized process management using integration broker or SAP exchange infrastructure 522 and business process management 524 techniques. Examples of products to perform process integration 506 include Exchange Infrastructure (XI) and Business Process Management (BPM).
An application platform 508 may include SAP's Web Application Server (Web AS), which is the basis for SAP applications. Web AS, which may be independent of the database and operating system 530, includes a J2EE engine 526 in combination with the proprietary ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) engine or instance 528 to further enhance the application platform 508. In one embodiment, the application platform 508 includes operation of a web service to provide an interface for heterogeneous external clients to manage systems provided by the application platform 508.
The architecture 500 further includes a composite application framework 532 to provide various open interfaces (APIs) and a lifecycle management 534, which is an extension of a previously existing transport management system (TMS). As illustrated, the architecture 500 further provides communication with Microsoft.NET 536, International Business Machine (IBM) WebSphere 538, and other such systems 540.
The Web AS 620 with ABAP engine 602 further includes a J2EE program engine 604. The J2EE may support one or more program instances. The J2EE engine 604 is in communication with the ABAP engine 602 via a fast Remote Function Call (RFC) connection 606. The ABAP engine 602 and the J2EE engine 604 are further in communication with an Internet Communication Manager (ICM) 608. The ICM 608 is provided for handling and distributing queries to various individual components of the architecture 600. The architecture 600 further supports a browser 610, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, and other modified variations of mobile end devices, such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), pocket computers, smart cell phones, other hybrid devices, and the like. The Web AS 620 also supports various protocols and standards 612, such as HyperText Markup Language (HTML), eXtensible Markup Language (XML), Wireless Markup Language (WML), Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol, Secure (HTTP(S)), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Web Distributed Authority and Versioning (WebDAV), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Single Sign-On (SSO), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), X.509, Unicode, and the like. In one embodiment, the supported protocols 612 include SOAP and XML for the operation of web service to provide an interface for external management of systems on the Web AS 620.

I gave Nintendogs Cats:toy poodle a 4/5.very good game.
I would recommend this game for a girl...who is from the ages of 6-15. This game is a good game but I dislike the fact that the dogs or cats can get sick from you not getting on everyday to feed them and play with them. Not everyone can get on their 3ds everyday so I think that if you don't get on in like 3 days then your dog/cat(s) will get sick. I know they are just trying to make it more realistic but they should make it that hard to take care of a dog/cat. Overall I love this game.:D

We should meet.
They have given me 4,000 characters to describe myself. My Dad could do it in 2. I'm a great guy. Here's is my story: I want to meet someone. I want to get involved with you and want it to become a great relationship. I'm not perfect, but neither are you. The perfect don't exist. And I've been looking... So, check me out and see if we might click then contact me. If I don't respond, I apologize in advance. But if I do, I hope we can meet in person because right now I feel like I am filling out an application and the only thing that is good about that is that I see that I can finish this with 3200 characters remaining..

Hiking in Santa Monica mountains, skiing in Mammoth, Sailing, travelling into Mexico, traveling around California. All these are great and I enjoy the hell out of them - it's just better with two people.

As for music, I have an ipod with probably 2,000 songs which cover all genres with the notable exception of rave music and Norwegian death metal. I canceled my cable. This is a disadvantage. I used to talk about books. And life. What's Glee?
just put in a garden - it's relaxing to buy plants, watch them die and then buy more plants... I go to the gym, for fun but really more for mental health. If you are freelance in hollywood, you know what I mean. Other than that, I live in cali
I have a ton of books. Some I just purchased. I do read. Really. Just not lately. I have no compelling answer why I stopped. Now that I canceled my cable, I had better find one. Or start again.

I'd love to help, but I couldn't code to save my life. I know how to bind keys via console, but that's about it when it comes to Xray.
Mod cancelled. 1.2 and 1.3 will continue to be available and assets from the new version will be available once cleaned up.
Swartz mod v1.3 may or may not happen depending on a wide variety of factors.
Posted by Swartzy on Mar 23rd, 2012
Although very few people who've downloaded the mod have voted on it, I'm
glad to see that people are enjoying it (currently a 9.6; as one person
put it I must have done something right).
I did release a very small graphical & sound update to Swartz mod but since I didn't ask permission from the mod authors I used for it you'll have to search the Something Awful forums to get it rather than it being posted here. It's just a very mild, optional update.
Swartz mod v1.3 may or may not happen depending on a wide variety of factors.
First of all, I've been doing this for too long working on my own. If I continue, I really could use someone that properly knows LUA scripting and preferably has experience with the Stalker engine. If that person is you then send me a message.
Secondly, I may or may not have a lot of free time this summer depending on how things work out. If I have a lot of free time and there's enough content to warrant a new release then there will be a new one.
If people want to see the mod continue the most important thing you can do to help is leave feedback on what you'd like to see added to the mod. Also voting on or reviewing my mod shows me that there's still interest in keeping the mod alive, so do so if you haven't already.
I'll keep this page more updated from now on with any news that I have.
I'd love to help, but I couldn't code to save my life. I know how to bind keys via console, but that's about it when it comes to Xray.
This mod is great, and I could re-learn LUA again if I had time since I used to work with Garrysmod LUA scripting. Any links on the SDK for STALKER or info about it? I'd be willing to learn it in my free time, and could possibly be of help in the future.
There's tutorials on the SDK at Sdk.stalker-game.com
I don't think there's anything specific to LUA though, but there might be.
