just an idea
lets just get rid of the isms, and hang with REAL Democracy. Repub/socialist/Libertarians/ conservatives.. greens... you know those are all ideologies.. i like the ideology of the greens but its just an ideology. when the real way out of the mess is through science, all mere ideologies are the problem. we do need a new political party, but it needs to be centered in science not ideology.
I have been active here since the very beginning, and since the very beginning I have been trying to make some core points. These points clearly have not been digested or fully understood by the mob, and so I'm going to try to make a further attempt here again. 1. Merely protesting in the streets will not bring change. In fact merely protesting in the streets is in fact a means to the end of avoiding the real work of a revolution, which consists of the evolutionary solutions, answers, problem solving process, and new political alignment we create. 2. This forum is absolutely disorganized. It won't be read by most people and it won't and can't function as a core organizational system. 3. Back at the very start of this, I petitioned the admin to add multiple sub forums and a wiki. Multiple sub forums were promised but have never arrived. I think that this tells us that the intention actually of this forum is message control and containment. The entire purpose really of this forum has always been to keep us spinning in disorganization. We are hanging out on a forum that expressly exists to actually keep us confused and disorganized. 4. The real work of a revolution isn't going to happen on forums, it needs to happen in a much more organized fashion using collaborative software. 5. The assorted other details about how to collaborate, how to work open source direct democracy, how to focus in on science instead of isms, how to become hyper rational about this, are details which are essential and crucial, without which we can predict the movement to fail. 6. Technically speaking we are not 99 percent, we are one tenth of one percent attempting to represent the 99 percent. Our core mission must be to communicate to and with the 99 percent, and get them to join us. This forum will not accomplish that and neither will any of the other main websites. 7. You can follow other people out to other wikis and other websites, where they will try to get you to get involved with what they want and their program, but frankly speaking, there is no other website and no other operation out there which understands the complexities involved with meaningful organization. In short, everyones being led to get involved here there and everywhere else, scattering the movement in directions which ultimately do not gain us critical mass, criticial momentum, or critical systemic lucidity. 8. I have managed to get a wiki put up and have already put on that wiki evolutionary details which make it more organized than anything else. I can't do this alone. There are 10 or so wikis now out there, most of which were created in response to my pleas for a wiki, and several of which are in domains owned and operated by some corporation, (wikia, etc) And which we can thus assume will simply be closed, shut down, or deleted if they become useful to the movement. 9. Probably at least half of the invites you have to go participate at some other site are people who are scamming everyone to waste time and energy, distort the movement, co opt it, and etc. When you walk off into a closet ask yourself how you know that the closet isn't created by some fed, or by some republican, or by some democrat, in order to sway things in their direction. 10. The only meaningful strategic option we have for real change in this country is to create a new third party, and take every political office in this country. 11. Once that is done, we can have an article 5 convention. If we have an article 5 convention before getting rid of the oligachs, that just opens the genie from the bottle for them to abuse that process with their corruption and evil.
For these reasons, I beg of you to please immediately join me on the wiki. We need to have all of these details and all of these ideas put together in an organized fashion, rather than posted in a long scrawl which will never be read.
MAN thats a lot. why don't you post it where it won't get covered up by trolls. you know... in two weeks i start an ad campaign for http://citicommons. and if i'm lucky, one or more of the dozen people that have signed up to write articles so far, will begin posting them.
why don't i move on over to your forums? why don't you move on over to my wiki? i'm combating the trolls, thats WHY.
Ok, I am a web designer and have very little writing experience so bear with me. I have signed up and will come up with something in the next few hours. have to go get my kids in a sec. Once you have more material I will add you to the resource list on my site.

Jedi and Sith fight side by side against an even greater foe.
But how long can enemies remain allies?
And how high is the price of betrayal?
In a stunning turn of events, Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, joined forces with the Sith armada sent to kill them—and used their combined might against the monstrous being Abeloth. But when the wounded creature escapes, the fragile armistice crumbles, and hostilities resume with the attempted assassination of Luke.
On the hunt for Abeloth and on the run from the Sith, Luke and Ben find themselves trapped by a mob of angry Force adepts who care little for the difference between light side and dark side.
With the Jedi's most famous father-and-son team outnumbered and outgunned, the countdown to galactic disaster has begun—and time is running out.

Stalker tips
So, I'm going back to STALKER (never finished it when I played it on my previous lappy).
I know some people here are hardcore STALKER fans, so I was wondering if you could give me advice on how to properly configure it given my specs (see sig).
Many thanks :)
Re: Stalker tips
haha, ask J.o.n.e.l.o: stalker and texture nerd ;) He knows everything bout stalker ^^
Re: Stalker tips
I have an semi crappy rig as well. x2 4600 and 8800GTS 640.
What i do is use the middle setting for the new stalker, and full lighting for the old.
Grass is at medium on both.
Even at the objects dynamic lighting the game looks great on high textures.
Re: Stalker tips
Maybe there is not way for run with dinamic lighting , very dificult , in your laptop
Maybe with textures and shadows in medium, view distance and lighting distance to 25 % . The best solution is run in static lighting , in DX8
Re: Stalker tips
Thanks for the input guys. I'm going to ask J.o.n.e.l.o and see what he says.
Re: Stalker tips
5 Attachment(s)
Play it on static lighting, but with some mods. This is with Complete 2009 and Sharper textures.
Re: Stalker tips
check the post above yours.
Re: Stalker tips
I must've had the screen open for a good 20 minutes before I sent the quick reply. My apologies Jonelo!
Re: Stalker tips
Install Patch 1.0005. In Stalker main directory edit "fsgame.ltx" in notepad. Edit the second line so that the "false" reads "true." Save and close.
Download the mod and unpack it into Stalker main directory. You must insert gamedata folder, because Stalker reads mods only out of that folder. Put Complete 2009, and then owervrite with Sharper textures.

Digestive enzymes can speed up the digestive processes that break down foods so you can properly absorb the nutrients. There are different types of enzymes, which break down specific molecules. For example, proteases (or proteolytic enzymes) break down proteins. DPP-IV (dipeptidyl peptidase IV), helps to break down gluten peptides, which cause the destructive autoimmune reaction noted in celiac disease. According to Dr. Fuchs, "DPP-IV can't do this job alone. It needs to be combined with other specific enzymes.'
Furthermore, not all enzyme formulas containing DPP-IV are the same in terms of strength. Dr. Fuchs had her supplement creators formulate a gluten-digesting enzyme that was stronger than the other ones available on the market. The result was Gluten Sensitivity Formula. In her pamphlet, "How to Tell If You're Gluten Sensitive.And What to Do About It If You Are," Dr. Fuchs offers advice on how to take the supplement.
Dr. Fuchs emphasizes that Gluten Sensitivity Formula isn't intended to replace a gluten-free diet; it is, however, designed to reduce or get rid of a reaction to "small amounts" of what would presumably be unintentionally ingested gluten, such as one may encounter at a restaurant or a dinner party due to cross-contamination. She also recommends taking one or two capsules of the formula "as insurance" before eating meals that might possibly be contaminated with gluten.
Dr. Fuchs also clears up a myth regarding hydrocholoric acid (HCl), which has been believed to counteract digestive enzymes; this misconception has led to the incorrect advice that one shouldn't take hydrochloric acid and enzymes together. Hydrochloric acid is taken, according to Dr. Fuchs, in order to help with digesting proteins and minerals, for example calcium and iron. She says the supplement is more common among people over the age of 50. In fact, enzymes can only cancel out the benefits of hydrochloric if they alter the pH of the stomach by neutralizing its acids. Dr. Fuchs says that while animal-based enzymes can accomplish this, they are usually formulated with a protective coating or in a form that will prevent this from occurring. What's more, many enzymes, especially gluten-digesting ones, are made from plants. "So you can take them with HCl," Dr. Fuchs says.
According to Dr. Fuchs, taking gluten-digesting enzymes "can make the difference between being successful on a gluten-free diet and failing." When used correctly, it can help alleviate the symptoms of a reaction caused by accidental gluten ingestion or prevent the reaction from occurring. As a celiac myself, I can say that inadvertent gluten ingestion is still a challenge I face on the gluten-free diet, even though I've been on the diet for years. Dr. Fuch's Gluten Sensitivity Formula is thus a welcome product that will make the lives of the gluten-free community a lot easier.

What I am still unclear about is a celiac reaction doesn't sound like it has to do with the inability to digest gluten - it is an autoimmune reaction when gluten enters the body. So how would breaking down the gluten help at all? Seems like it is only relevant to gluten intolerance not celiac disease...unless I am missing something? Would love to know if this would help as I have been suffering for two weeks from accidental cross contamination at a dinner party.

Deanna, I see the author has not responded to your question, so I thought I'd add my "two cents". I'm not an expert on the subject, but I'm wondering if breaking down gluten, a complex of gliadin and glutelin, into their usable parts (various amino acids) can make it harmless. If that's the case, then adding certain proteolytic enzymes to the diet may help. Studies still being done on this ... and you know the FDA - no claims can ever be made for non-drugs to heal... so look internationally to see if they can be confirmed.

Interesting article and I really hope that some day people with celiac disease will be able to take 'something' to eliminate risk of accidental exposure to gluten. Wondering if Dr. Fuchs has published any work on the effectiveness of this enzyme in any peer reviewed journals?

I have suffered from clearing my throat repeatedly for hours and hours after eating anything with gluten. It was annoying to me and to everyone else. Taking the gluten sensitivity formula would stop the throat clearing within minutes. Now, they are not making it any more. I have tried other products, but they do not stop the throat clearing. I would to love to buy some more of the gluten sensitivity formula by Dr. Fuchs. My Dr., Highly trained, said there's no way it could help me, but it does. Medical science doesn't know everything. If you know how I may order some more of this fantastic product, please email me. Thanks! Katie

Roy Oswalt's name was unheard of for most of the offseason but that does not mean that the 35-year-old would not pitch again. Oswalt wrote on his Twitter account on Monday that he would "love to come back to Philly." The right hander spent parts of two seasons as a member of the Phillies before signing a contract mid-season with the Texas Rangers in 2012. Oswalt had the worst season of his career lastyear appearing in 17 games and posting a 5.80 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP. There could be an opening in Philadelphia for a player such as Oswalt if Roy Halladay continues to struggle. The two-time Cy Young winner struggled in his second start of the year and is 0-2 with a 14.73 ERA to start the season. Any deal with Oswalt would likely be for the the minimum salary with incentives.

Share and highlight the Web.
Current issue: I'm frustrated with the tools available to share content on the web. Why do we need to share entire pages or articles when oftentimes, only fractions of them are actually interesting or relevant?
There is currently no simple way to share whatever you want from a web page. And no simple way to redirect your readers exactly where you want on a page.
Suggested solution: Qwote is a free browser extension for Chrome designed to help users share and highlight what they love on the Web. It's a simple way to pass on short links to specific content on websites and makes it easier to be clear about what you are referring to.
Analogy: Bitly 2.0The killing features:
- - Redirects precisely to the highlighted content on any web page
- - Short links are personalized with people's usernames
- - Highlighting comes in different colors
- - Qwotes can be bookmarked and saved in a dashboard
Keep in touch with your friends.
Current issue: Having hundreds of friends doesn't really matter if we're not capable of keeping in touch with them regularly.
Suggested solution: Hello is a smart assistant that suggests people to recontact. It identifies for you who to contact, when and why.
We've designed a new kind of activity tracker that extends the scope of the quantified self movement to your social activities. The potential is huge to positively help people maintain steady and healthy social relationships.

Penguins beat Bruins 2-1 to run win streak to 9By WILL GRAVES
The Associated Press | March 18,2013AP Photo
Pittsburgh Penguins center Joe Vitale (46) falls to the ice in front of Boston Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference (21) as he gets the puck past Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask and Boston Bruins defenseman Dennis Seidenberg (44) during the first period in Pittsburgh Sunday.PITTSBURGH Sidney Crosby scored his 13th goal, Tomas Vokoun stopped 31 shots, and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Boston Bruins 2-1 on Sunday for their ninth straight win.
Joe Vitale added his first goal in more than a year for the Penguins, who have beaten the Bruins five consecutive times.
Tyler Seguin scored his 10th goal for Boston, and Tuukka Rask made 16 saves but couldnt stop the Bruins from losing to Pittsburgh for the second time in less than a week.
The Penguins scored three times in the final 7 minutes Tuesday to steal a 3-2 victory. There were no dramatics necessary this time, as hockeys hottest team never trailed to remain unbeaten in March.
Crosby nearly netted his most spectacular goal of the season midway through the first period with a breathtaking rush in which he split a pair of defenders and then attempted to slip a shot under Rask while falling to the ice.
Rask stuck out his right pad to make the save, leaving the NHLs leading scorer to flash a wry grin.
The smile grew wider seconds later, when the Penguins won the ensuing faceoff, and Pascal Dupuis crossing pass gave Crosby a wide-open net for the goal at 12:06.
Seguin tied it 4:32 later when a shot from the point deflected off teammate Patrice Bergerons skate and trickled right to Seguin, who had no trouble one-timing it past Vokoun.
Pittsburgh, the NHLs highest scoring team, moved back in front 2-1 when Vitale chipped a rebound over Rask for his first goal since Feb. 26, 2012, against Columbus a span of 38 games for Vitale.
The lead held even with the Penguins playing the final two periods without defenseman Kris Letang, who never came out of the dressing room after the first intermission with what the team called a lower body injury.
With the leagues top-scoring defenseman out, the Penguins geared down a bit offensively, taking fewer chances than usual. It is a style that has worked over the second half of their winning streak.
Pittsburgh has allowed just five goals in five games while playing more responsibly when the puck is in its end. The Penguins shut out the New York Rangers 3-0 on Saturday behind No. 1 goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.
Bostons best chance to score over the final two periods came on a wraparound attempt by Seguin that slid across the goal mouth. The Bruins would get no closer, with Crosby providing a fitting ending by getting on his stomach to block a centering pass just before time expired.
NOTES: Boston center David Krejci left the game with 5:14 remaining after taking a slap shot off his right knee. ... Pittsburgh center Evgeni Malkin missed his fifth straight game with an undisclosed upper body injury. The Penguins also scratched D Simon Depres and D Robert Bortuzzo. ...

Nueces appraisal district moves way up on the radar
CORPUS CHRISTI - Suddenly, the taxing entities that are members of the troubled Nueces County Appraisal District have much to consider. At no time since the district was established in 1981 has the importance of who serves on its board and in its top staff positions been more apparent.
On consecutive days last week, Executive Director Ollie Grant announced his retirement, citing his health, and Chairwoman Sandy Billish tendered her resignation, saying her new job with a taxing entity would create a conflict. Two Corpus Christi City Council members publicly, and other officials privately, had called for Grant's ouster. If anyone wanted Billish out, we're not aware of it, but no one should blame her if she wanted out. Her unpaid board position already was thankless before serious problems began surfacing in recent weeks.
Those, primarily, are the huge errors in Corpus Christi and Port Aransas property assessments that undermined those cities' budget and tax rate-setting plans and resulted in the dismissals of two employees, so far. The district initially told Corpus Christi that the city's values were down 6.6 percent, then revised them as being up 1.3 percent. The district initially figured Port Aransas' new construction at $1.3 million when actually it exceeded $21 million.
The appraisal district isn't overly popular in the best of times, when it does its job correctly. Credibility is an issue because owners profess inability to believe their property is worth so much, for tax purposes, though they would expect considerably more if they were to sell. Poker-faced elected officials let the appraisal district take the rap for raising taxes when the decision not to lower the tax rate to offset the rise in valuations is theirs, not the district's.
Credibility is a bigger issue now. The initial explanation for the Corpus Christi mistake was software error, which is nebulous and nonhuman. The error turned out to be a mistaken doubling of homestead exemptions. Grant showed little urgency in addressing the matter, too often letting his assistants do the talking. He also was slow to accept responsibility and when he did, it was an acceptance of responsibility for trusting underlings, which amounts to putting the responsibility on them.
This comedy too recently followed the outrage of the taxing entities' elected officials upon discovering in 2009 that the district had been building a nest egg for a new building by not refunding its budget surpluses to them.
The district has only ever had two executive directors, Grant since 2000, and both left under a cloud. Grant was a hire from within and, considering the current problems, it appears to be time to hire from without, with serious oversight from the board.
Billish was a city appointee. In choosing a replacement, the City Council should consider appointing one of its own members. If not, the appointee should be a Corpus Christi equivalent of a Ross Perot, who had the mettle to bring the no-pass no-play rule to Texas education as a special appointee of Gov. Mark White.
No offense to Billish or the other current appointees — though also no apologies — but until this house is set in order, the governing bodies who make appointments to the appraisal district need to treat it as something bigger than a Port of Corpus Christi appointment, the acknowledged plum of all local appointments. They need to prep their appointees for a hard job with a lot of heat and little reward beyond the satisfaction of a job well done.
Too much is at stake. Credible valuation of real property is too vital. The appointees' search for an executive director should be akin to the recent searches for Corpus Christi's city manager and police chief. Those were outside hires that seem to have worked out well.

On the heels of yesterday's 3ds Max 2010 announcement, Autodesk made several more announcements at GDC: new versions of its two runtime technologies for the game engine -- HumanIK 4 animation middleware and Kynapse 6 artificial intelligence (AI) middleware -- as well as Softimage Mod Tool 7.5 software (formerly SOFTIMAGE|XSI Mod Tool), the free 3D modeling and animation package for aspiring artists.
"Autodesk middleware products offer a solution to common runtime challenges, allowing development teams to concentrate on the creative work involved in authoring amazing new gameplay experiences," said Marc Stevens, former Softimage GM and now Autodesk Media & Ent. VP, games, under the new management restructuring. "For example, HumanIK helps to alleviate the burden of large clip libraries by enabling procedural motion adaption, which reduces the number of clips animators need to produce and maintain. With Kynapse, programmers can avoid the development time and costs involved in writing custom runtime solutions for universal AI issues, like spatial awareness.
"Softimage Mod Tool gives the next generation of game artists access to professional tools, so they can learn while making their own games or game mods.Game developers can also use the software to extend the life of a game by building a community of modders. Game mods can go on to become commercial games in their own right, and they can be used by developers to identify talent for recruiting purposes."
In addition, Autodesk is building advanced integration between Kynapse artificial intelligence (AI) and NaturalMotion's morpheme animation middleware engine.
"Animation and AI have become increasingly linked in modern game development, said Torsten Reil, CEO of NaturalMotion. "Pathfinding algorithms, for example, require reliable execution by the animation network; in turn, believable motion requires precise timing and steering by the AI system."
"Autodesk and NaturalMotion believe there is tremendous potential to simplify the interaction between AI and animation for game developers, and to significantly enhance the user experience," added Stevens.
morpheme is designed to give developers and animators unprecedented creative control over the look of their final in-game animation by allowing them to author and preview blends, blend trees and transition graphs in realtime. The latest version, morpheme 2.0, adds natively integrated physics support for flexible addition and authoring of character dynamics. morpheme is designed to integrate with euphoria, NaturalMotion's motion synthesis engine, which recently debuted in GRAND THEFT AUTO IV and STAR WARS: THE FORCE UNLEASHED.
Kynapse 6 key features include:
* Remote Debugger: The new remote debugging tool enables users to inspect the state of the game variables, with an interactive 3D view of the debug information. Users can also record and replay sequences, while retaining access to the data in the recorded files.* New 3D Pathfinding Technology: The "flat" pathfinding technology introduced in this release offers simplified data generation workflows, more flexible runtime data streaming, and the ability to add new paths on-the-fly at runtime. * Improved MMO support: Data resources and runtime services can now be shared across multiple Kynapse worlds, improving support for Massively Multiplayer On-line games.* Enhanced Dynamic 3D Pathfinding: With improved CPU performance and granular control over memory consumption, characters can more easily avoid dynamic, movable obstacles.* Hierarchical 3D Pathfinding: Characters can now plan paths that span the entire breadth of huge maps, even when those maps cannot be loaded in their entirety. The path is first computed at a low level of detail, and then refined opportunistically when more detailed data becomes available, keeping memory usage within set limits.
Meanwhile, HumanIK animation middleware frees animators from having to produce every possible animation clip by procedurally adapting existing character animation to game environments at runtime. Also, the technology's runtime retargeting enables developers to reuse banks of animation on characters of completely different scales and proportions. As a result, development teams can save time for more creative challenges.
In addition, HumanIK enhances animation systems by enabling characters to interact more realistically with the game environment. Characters place their feet correctly, climb walls and pick up objects, even when the game environment changes. With fewer gameplay constraints, HumanIK helps to bring games to life with more believable and immersive character animation experiences.
HumanIK 4 delivers a user guide and a new set of examples, integrated with the Trinigy Vision game engine. It also improves knee response to ankle rotations.
HumanIK 4 is now available. Autodesk anticipates that Kynapse 6 will beavailable this spring. Both middleware products are optimized for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, as well as PCs running Windows or Linux. Kynapse is also optimized for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and PSP game consoles.
Softimage Mod Tool 7.5 includes:
* New learning materials: Softimage Mod Tool 7.5 comes with training materials from Noesis Interactive. These materials show users how to create a character and export it for use in Microsoft XNA Games Studio 3.0.
* New realtime shading API (application programming interface): Softimage Mod Tool 7.5 supports the Realtime Shader API version 3.0, which helps make realtime shader development simpler and more flexible. The new version offers an architecture focused on programmable shaders (GLSL, HLSL) and file-based effects (CgFX and DxFX). With these capabilities, what game developers see in Softimage Mod Tool is what they get in the game.
* Interactive Creative Environment (ICE): ICE is an open, scalable platform that enables artists to extend the capabilities of Softimage more quickly and intuitively using a node-based dataflow diagram. Artists can now quickly create complex 3D effects and tools without writing code.
* Support for Windows Vista operating system: Autodesk Softimage Mod Tool 7.5 now supports the Windows Vista Business operating system.
Softimage Mod Tool 7.5 can export 3D models and animation for use with the Microsoft XNA Game Studio 3 framework. Fledgling or independent game developers now have access to a professional toolset for creating original games on the Microsoft Xbox console or Windows platform.
Users can also download add-ons for content export to Crytek CryENGINE 2, Epic Unreal Engine 3 and Valve Source game engines. With this professional 3D toolset modders can produce characters and props for their favorite game.
Softimage Mod Tool Pro 7.5 software is functionally identical to the Mod Tool, but has an End User License Agreement that allows users to produce assets for games sold via Microsoft's Xbox Live Community Games.
Softimage Mod Tool Pro 7.5 is available only with Microsoft's XNA Creator's Club Premium membership.
Autodesk anticipates that Softimage Mod Tool 7.5 software will be availablein April.

Millennium Challenge Corporation:
Independent Reviews and Consistent Approaches Will Strengthen Projections of Program Impact

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In January 2004, Congress established the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) for foreign assistance. Eligible countries submit compact proposals for MCC funding for projects aimed at reducing poverty through economic growth. To assess the proposed compacts' likely impact, MCC performs economic analyses estimating the compacts' economic rate of return (ERR) and effects on income and poverty as well as the number of compact beneficiaries. MCC uses these analyses to inform its decisions to fund proposed compacts and to inform Congress and the public about its progress in achieving its mission of poverty reduction through economic growth. GAO was asked to examine MCC's projections of (1) ERR and (2) compacts' impact on income and poverty as well as numbers of beneficiaries. GAO reviewed MCC's stated impacts and analyses for four MCC compacts that represented 41 percent of MCC's compact assistance and met with MCC officials.
MCC used different time frames and methods to calculate ERRs for its compacts with Armenia, El Salvador, Lesotho, and Mozambique. In calculating ERR for 20 projects within the compacts, MCC used a 20-year time frame for 9 projects and used different time frames for the other 11. In 2 of the 11 projects, using a 20-year time frame, as MCC used for similar projects, would reduce the ERR below the level MCC set as the minimum acceptable ERR. At the compact level, MCC's use of varying time frames did not affect the ERRs significantly. MCC used varying methods to account for the costs of same-sector projects, although its approaches to determining project benefits were generally similar. MCC also used two different methods to calculate compact-level ERR; however, the choice of method did not reduce it below the minimum ERR. In three of the four compacts that we reviewed, MCC did not retain documentation of the economic analyses used to support the investment decision, but continued to modify the analyses. MCC has recently begun to standardize elements of its economic analyses and centralize its records management. MCC identified and corrected analytic errors in its projections of impact on income and poverty. MCC also used varying methods to project these impacts. In responding to GAO's questions about its published projections of impact on income and poverty, MCC identified analytic errors for three of the four compacts and, in correcting these errors, generally lowered the projected impacts. Correcting these errors raised one projection by 5 percent but reduced others by 3 percent to 96 percent. According to MCC officials, the revised projections would not have affected MCC's decision to recommend signing the compacts. The officials noted that, in the future, compact impact projections will undergo peer review. However, MCC has not documented procedures for these reviews. MCC used varying methods for its projections of impact on income and poverty, limiting comparability and replicability across compacts. To project impact on income for Armenia, El Salvador, and Mozambique, MCC estimated the compacts' impact by summing the total benefits of individual compact projects and adding them to the income that would have prevailed without MCC. However, for Lesotho, MCC estimated the impact on income based on the published results of a World Bank model based on elements different from those of the MCC compact. In response to our questions, MCC revised its initial estimate of the effect of income growth on poverty for Mozambique by presenting two estimates, based on Mozambique-specific and cross-country data, respectively. Although a number of methods for projecting poverty impact are valid, the method chosen can affect the results, and MCC's guidelines do not identify preferred methods for these calculations. MCC also used varying methods to estimate numbers of beneficiaries for the compacts and has not provided specific criteria for defining beneficiaries; however, MCC officials reported they are taking steps to provide more detailed guidance.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In response to the GAO recommendation, the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) adopted an internal peer review process coordinated by MCC's Chief Economist. MCC has used this new process on the Burkina Faso, Namibia, and Senegal compact proposals. In addition, MCC has posted its economic analysis spreadsheets for compact countries online to make them available for review outside of MCC.
Recommendation: To improve the reliability and comparability of its projected ERR and economic impacts, the CEO of MCC should adopt and implement written procedures for a secondary independent review of the methods and results of its economic analyses.
Agency Affected: Millennium Challenge Corporation
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) has adopted revised Guidelines on Economic and Beneficiary Analysis that include specific guidance on counting beneficiaries, estimating the incidence of benefits, and disaggregating benefits by demographic groups.
Recommendation: To improve the reliability and comparability of its projected ERR and economic impacts, the CEO of MCC should improve MCC's guidelines by identifying a consistent approach with preferred methods for projecting compacts' impact on income and poverty.

One of boxing's greatest ambassadors, two time Heavyweight Champion of the World 'Terrible' Tim Witherspoon, becomes the latest big name to join the board of the newly revitalized Malta Boxing Commission. The American, who has been appointed Honorary Vice President, joins fellow legend, two time, two division Champion of the World Steve 'Celtic Warrior' Collins, who was appointed President earlier this month and his long time friend, Gianluca (Rio) Di Caro, who is a founding partner and the other Vice President of the Malta Boxing Commission on the top table. Tim's exceptional pro career began in 1979, fours years later, and with just fifteen wins under his belt, Tim hit the Championship trail for the first time in May 1983, when he challenged fellow Pennsylvanian Larry Holmes for the title he'd held firmly in his vice like grip since 1978, and had successfully defended no less than fourteen times previously, just one less than the total of fights Tim had to date.

Warren Jeffs, the racist leader of a breakaway Mormon sect, was sentenced to life in prison today for raping a 12-year-girl, taken as a bride in a "spiritual marriage." Jeffs, the president and prophet of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) was also sentenced to 20 years for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old member of his cult.
Jeffs is already imprisoned for an earlier conviction.
The charges stemmed from a 2007 raid on the FLDS "Yearning for Zion" compound outside Eldorado, Texas. About 460 children were initially taken into custody during the FBI raid, triggered by an anonymous phone tip that turned out to be a hoax. Jeffs vigorously denied the charges, but prosecutors played tapes of him sexually assaulting the 12-year-old and produced DNA evidence proving Jeffs had a child with the 15-year-old. Jurors also saw a 2005 document, among thousands of pages of notes seized in the raid, in which Jeffs wrote, "If the world knew what I was doing, they would hang me from the highest tree."
As the SPLC has reported, Jeffs preached a virulent racism to his 10,000 followers as well as hatred toward LGBT people. "The black race," he said, " is the people through which the devil has always been able to bring evil unto the earth."
The judge said Jeffs, 55, who represented himself, will be eligible for parole in 35 years.

There is disclosed a sleeve for holding a portable electronic device such as an MP3 player, mobile telephone, PDA and the like. The sleeve is provided with an integrally formed secondary winding that enables the sleeve to pick up magnetic flux from an inductive charging platform and associated circuitry for generating a DC charging voltage that can be used to charge a battery in the device while the device is received within the sleeve. The sleeve is formed with a connector designed to fit a power/data connection socket in the device, and may also be provided with a connection port enabling the device to be connected to a computer while it is received within the sleeve.
1. A sleeve for receiving a mobile electronic device, said sleeve including a winding for receiving magnetic flux from an inductive charging system, an energy processing circuit for generating a DC output voltage from said magnetic flux, and electrical connection means for connecting said circuit to said device received within said sleeve whereby said device may be charged directly by said inductive charging system by placing said sleeve with the device therein on a surface of said inductive charging system and wherein said winding, said energy processing circuit, and said electrical connection means are integrated with said sleeve as a single unit.

This invention relates to a sleeve that is designed to receive a mobile electronic device and to enable such a device to be charged by means of an inductive charging system.
Mobile electronic devices, including mobile phones, portable music and video players, digital cameras, camcorders, computer peripherals etc. are widely used today. For environmental reasons, such devices are often powered by rechargeable batteries.
There exist a number of methods for charging the rechargeable batteries. As shown in
To get rid of the power wire or the USB connector one possible solution is to use an inductive battery charging platform examples of which are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,164,255B and US20070029965A. As shown in
As shown in
However, there is a need to enable existing devices that are not provided with such an integral IERU—or devices where it is difficult to provide an integrated IERU—to be charged using such an inductive charging platform. One solution to this is to provide the IERU in an external module which is attachable to the back of the device (GB2399466B, US20060205381A). The output of IERU is connected to the connecting port of the device through a short wire or through a power connector. This is a straightforward approach to adapt conventional devices to the charging platform. However, the added module is an extra 'burden' to the devices, which has no other function or attraction to a consumer.
According to the present invention there is provided a sleeve for receiving a mobile electronic device, the sleeve including a winding for receiving magnetic flux from an inductive charging system, an energy processing circuit for generating a DC output voltage from the magnetic flux, and electrical connection means for connecting the circuit to a device received within the sleeve whereby the device may be charged by placing the sleeve with the device therein on a surface of an inductive charging system.
Preferably the sleeve comprises at least one planar surface and the winding is a planar winding integrally formed with the surface. Electromagnetic shielding may be provided between the winding and a side of the surface facing a device when received in the sleeve.
Preferably the planar winding is formed on a printed circuit board, and the energy processing circuit may be formed on the same printed circuit board as the planar winding. Alternatively, the energy processing circuit and the electrical connection means are formed on one printed circuit board.
The connection means is preferably a combined power and data connector adapted to be received within a combined power and data socket formed in a device.
In one embodiment of the invention the sleeve is provided with an attachment clip and the winding is provided as part of the clip. The clip may further comprise electromagnetic shielding on a side of the clip that in use will face a device received within said sleeve.
The energy processing circuit may preferably include a diode provided at the output of the circuit to prevent reverse current flow. The sleeve may also be provided with a port for connecting a device received therein to an external power source such as a computer or a power adaptor.
Preferably means are provided for disabling either the energy processing circuit or the external power source when both are provided. When the energy processing circuit is disabled, preferably the inductive charging system may also be disabled. Preferably the energy processing circuit is provided with means for clamping data pins of said device at predetermined voltages and said clamping means is disabled when said external power source is provided.
Some embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
As will be seen from the following description, in preferred embodiments of the present invention the inductive energy receiving unit (IERU) is integrated with a sleeve that is designed to receive at least a part of an electronic device. The sleeve provides the benefits of (a) receiving inductive energy (b) protecting the mobile device, and (c) also the sleeve can be provided with a decorative pattern, or advertising or promotional material. It will be understood in this regard that the term "sleeve" is intended to cover any article that is designed to hold a mobile electronic device.
The sleeve 10 may also be provided with one or more further openings 12 to allow a user to access the device 20 when it is received therein including accessing any control buttons, touch screen or the like, or to enable any camera, microphone or the like that forms part of the device to function properly. The sleeve is formed integrally with the IERU such that the sleeve may receive energy inductively when it is placed on or in proximity with the charging platform 30. For example, one or more secondary windings may be formed in the back face 13 of the sleeve with the associated power electronics being provided at a suitable location as will be described further below.
As can be seen from
Detailed examples of two possible structures for the sleeve in particular with regard to the location of the processing circuitry 15 are shown in
In the embodiment of
Another possible structure is shown in
Another embodiment is shown in
In all the above embodiments, the power/data connector 14 is always connected with the connecting port 4 when the device 20 is inserted in the sleeve 10. To avoid energy leakage from the device (battery) to the energy processing circuitry 15, especially when the device is not being charged, a diode (D0 in
It will be understood that in the above embodiments when a device 20 is put into the sleeve 10, the connecting port 4 of the device is occupied by the power/data connector 14 of the sleeve 10. It would therefore not be possible to connect the device 20 to a computer (or to a dock) through a USB connector for data transfer while the device is in the sleeve 10 as there would be no usable port. A straightforward solution for all the above embodiments is to take the device 20 out of the sleeve and connect it through a USB cable to a USB port in a computer in a conventional manner. However this is cumbersome for many users and frequent plug and unplug of the connectors in the sleeve may shorten its life.
A better solution is shown in the embodiment of
However, if a user were to simultaneously place the sleeve 10 (including device 20) on the charging platform and connect it to a computer, problems may arise. Firstly, the received energy from the IERU may destroy the USB port of a computer. Secondly, the voltage level of the data pins (pin 2 and pin 3 in
In a possible situation that the DC output of energy processing circuitry 15 and pin 1 of external port 21 are both high, the following possibilities exist:
The above two possibilities can be chosen based on the requirement of customers.

New Haven, Conn.Yale scientists have discovered a way to use a simple blood test that may accurately detect thoracic aneurysm disease (TAA), which gives little warning and is almost always fatal if untreated.
The study, published this month in Public Library of Science (PLoS), represents the collaborative work of Yale School of Medicine, Applied Biosystems, and Celera Diagnostics.
TAAs occur in the part of the aorta that passes through the chest. They can become huge without causing symptoms. In fact, only one in 20 patients has symptoms before internal rupture occursmaking advance detection key to treatment. Once the aneurysm ruptures, a person can go into shock and die from internal bleeding. Currently detection of these aneurysms is made by relatively expensive tests such as a chest X-ray or CT scantypically when a patient is being evaluated for other conditions.
A standardized blood-based test capable of detecting individuals at risk for aneurysm disease would represent a major advance in clinical care, said John Elefteriades, M.D., section chief of cardiothoracic surgery. This study indicates we may be able to develop such a test.
In this study Elefteriades and his colleagues took blood samples from 58 persons diagnosed with TAA disease and 36 spouses who did not have the disease. Using a gene expression profiling technology, they identified a 41-gene signature in blood cells that distinguishes TAA patients from those without the disease. The gene expression signature and the prediction model were identified using a complete workflow of instruments, reagents, and software from Applied Biosystems. These signature genes were further validated using TaqMan real-time PCR assays. The accuracy rate in various analyses is 78 percent to 85 percent.
It has become increasingly evident that the immune system plays a pivotal role in the development of aortic aneurysms, Elefteriades said. We thus hypothesized that gen

On Tuesday afternoon, with a few hours before I had to catch my flight out of Boston, I was able to spend some quality time in Harvard's Houghton Library with the original (handwritten) manuscript of The Varieties of Religious Experience, a very famous book written by the illustrious American psychologist-philosopher William James (brother, by the way, of the novelist Henry James).
Someday, I plan to publish a short note regarding a particular feature of the book. (More on that in due course, probably a year or two down the pike.)
In the meantime, though, what astonished me — and not for the first time — was the genius of . . . the alphabet, perhaps the greatest invention of, or the greatest gift ever given to, humanity.
In the case of William James (d. 1910), twenty-six distinct little marks, repeated in varying combinations on paper, conveyed to me with remarkable accuracy and comprehensiveness the thoughts and even the personality of a man who died a hundred and two years ago and whom, obviously, I've never met.
That's remarkable, if you seriously consider it. It's astonishing. A daily miracle, of a sort.
