Your official information source from the .NET Web Development and Tools group at Microsoft.
To help users with this scenario, I've created the following item templates for ASP.NET Web Site and ASP.NET Web Application projects:
The templates are available in both VB and C# versions.
One limitation users should be aware of is the Design View in Visual Studio 2008, which is based on a completely new archtecure, does not display ASP.NET mobile controls. However, using these templates you should be able to develop ASP.NET Mobile applicaitons using the Source View just fine.
Once installed, these templates enable users to create and edit new ASP.NET Mobile Web Forms in ASP.NET Web Site and ASP.NET Web Applicaiton project types.
To install these templates download the attachment included in this post, extract the ZIP file, and follow the instructions in the included readme.txt files.
Happy mobile development!

Oops, looks like mobile development support in the VS IDE will be dropped, or does it?
以前 「ASP.NET モバイル Web アプリケーション再入門」 というMSDNオフラインセミナーに参加したときに講師の物江さんに質問した内容が返ってきたので共有します。
Amigos, essa dica é para todos aqueles que desenvolvem aplicações ASP.NET Mobile e já...
Ancora su Mobile ASP.Net in VS2008
I think that this will make a lot of disapointed users , who trusted Microsoft. This is final ? Support for mobile controls design view will be really droped ? This is unbelivable and unaceptable if so. This is Visual Studio bringing "unproductivity"instead of the promissed productivity.
This is a shame, where can we file our complaits about this ?
Any plans of supporting the design view for mobile controls at all? Design View really helps in fast development. I would really appreciate if you could reply.
This is pretty disappointing if the current trend is going to be to break compatibility for the mobile controls. Our company had been working on development of an ASP.NET mobile application using VS2005 as our primary means of development. While the design view is by no means necessary to do development the fact that these templates are still not even default in VS2008 is a little unsettling. Now with other things (such as the design view for mobile) breaking we're finding less reasons to move to VS2008 for this application.
Is this going to be the continued trend?
I want to apply CSS padding and Border to my MOBILE control in ASP.NET
How can i do that
Please help....
email Id firstname.lastname@example.com
Yes I would like to know what's going on! I am heavily involved in some asp.net mobile dev work, why is there no mobile templates built-in to VS2008? This is the future.. is Microsoft going to drop the ball on this?
Yes it would be good to know what is the road map for it. We have just started building an application. If the mobile controls are going to be phased out gradually then we would have to find another alternative for it.
Dear Omar Khan
You are the right one to hear about our complaints, if dont who is the one ?
Thanks for the Help !
Should we continue development with pretty good concept of adaptive rendering using asp.net mobile control?
No Mobile Web Forms Support in Visual Studio 2008 RTM?

Bakersfield woman uses service dog to help meter blood sugar levels
Nearly 26 million people in America have diabetes
Nearly 26 million people across America have been diagnosed with diabetes. Those people are used to managing tools like needles, insulin and monitors. But there are other options that are more accurate and much more friendly.
Patti Kasper has been diabetic since she was only two, so she has used plenty of these tools. According to her, "you had to boil the syringes in water every time you had to do an injection."
Her latest tool though, is her puppy black lab, Tzaylie. She is a trained service dog that Kasper got through company called Service Dogs by Warren Retrievers. Tzaylie is able to sniff when Kasper's blood sugar levels change.
"She taps me, and then that's her way of telling me, mom, you need to check your sugar. Then I ask what I am, if she taps me again, then I know that my sugar is high and out of range. If she nudges me with her nose, then I know I am going down," explained Kasper.
Tzaylie alerts Kasper multiple times a day when her sugar is low or high. In just one year, Kasper says that Tzaylie has saved her life close to a dozen times.
"All the times she has alerted me that I would have died, if she hadn't been with me. I'm absolutely convinced, I can't imagine this disease without her," she said.

|The Game Story:
|FAIRFIELD, Conn. - Lafayette dropped a 15-8 non-conference decision to No. 13 Fairfield on Tuesday afternoon at Alumni Field. Offensively, Lafayette was paced by freshman Cory Scheuerle's three goals.
Fairfield (7-0) sprinted out to a 2-0 lead on a pair of goals by Eric Warden, the second coming 5:30 into the game. With 5:04 to play in the opening quarter, Lafayette (2-4) put its first goal past Fairfield goalie Charlie Cipriano when Colin Serling threw a pass left and found a cutting Scheuerle for a left-handed overhand rip into the upper right corner.
A Lafayette turnover with a minute to play in the first led to Fairfield's third tally of the quarter as Brent Adams beat Leopards' goalkeeper Jake Hyatt from straightaway with 16 seconds remaining.
The Stags extended their lead to 4-1 a minute into the second quarter on Warden's third marker of the half. At 9:33, Warden set up Colin McLinden to push the Fairfield advantage to 5-1. Sixty-four seconds later, Alex Floeck scored his first goal of the season for Lafayette to make it a 5-2 game. Floeck took possession in the Lafayette end and brought the ball up the middle of the field himself to pull Lafayette within three.
Fairfield quickly responded with two straight goals in a two-minute stretch to go ahead 7-2 and force Lafayette to call timeout. The Maroon and White came out of the stoppage and immediately scored twice to draw within three. Serling netted the first at 5:40 and Scheuerle added his second, assisted by Greg Allis, 1:03 later.
Following a tripping penalty on Scheurle, Fairfield capitalized on the man-up situation when Sam Snow scored his second goal of the quarter with 1:37 to play before halftime. The Stags carried an 8-4 lead into the break.
The Leopards opened the third quarter with a man-advantage for the first 43 seconds of the half. Fairfield killed the penalty and then scored twice on the other end on Andrijko Andrusko, who replaced Hyatt late in the second quarter.
Doug Prusoff's spin and overhand rip at 8:32 found the back of the net, making it a 10-5 game. The Stags then ripped off three more goals before Brian Bock assisted Serling's 10th goal of the season. Fairfield added another score and Serling found Scheuerle wide open in front of the Fairfield goal with nine seconds to play as Lafayette trailed 14-7 at the end of three.
Allis' unassisted goal between Cipriano's legs made it 14-8 less than a minute into the fourth quarter. A late Fairfield goal and another from Allis ran the final score to 15-9. The senior's score was his ninth of the year.
Fairfield outshot Lafayette 37-29 and collected 29 ground balls, compared to 17 for the Leopards. The Stags also controlled 17 of the 26 faceoffs.

Residents who have settled just west of the Brazos River and south of Highway 59, in growing communities like Greatwood and Canyon Gate, say they never had a clue a freeway-style toll road would someday cut through their neighborhoods. The planned roadway would link to a segment of the Grand Parkway just north of 59 and includes entrance and exit ramps and overpasses near homes and businesses. David Cuellar lives in Brazos Lakes and says this isn't what homeowners signed up for.
"We would rather have it ground-level, with minimum overpasses, as it was stated in 2001. There was no opposition in 2001 when this map came out. In our section, it's rural land. They can move these roads another 3-5 miles to completely lessen the impact on our subdivisions."ξ
At least four businesses would be wiped-out by construction and residents worry overpasses 60 or 70 feet high would ruin their neighborhoods. Matt Kilboy, who has a house in Greatwood, was one of several hundred concerned residents at a meeting in Richmond earlier this week. He says the road basically goes nowhere as curves around into Brazoria County.
"If you get two miles beyond the impacted areas the value portion that they bring farther out is farmland. They're basically connecting out to nowhere. If you go to Brazoria, you have miles and miles of toll road that we're paying for today that are not going to be utilized."ξ
But supporters of the highway say it's been planned as a toll road for a number of years and is part of a larger regional transportation plan that will serve as a spark for growth. The Grand Parkway Association's Executive Director David Gornet says better now than later, when even more homes and businesses would be affected.ξ
"If the decision can be made now and the route is nailed down, you stop development from occurring in the corridor. New development that does occur can be complementary to the knowledge of that's where the road is going to go. This is where access may or may not be and if you're looking for something and you want access, you can buy there. If you want to be away from it, you buy away from it."ξξ
TX-DOT, which would build the $582 million roadway, says it doesn't have the money to do it without the toll component. Fort Bend County Judge Bob Hebert says he's not sure that makes much sense.
"We can't even justify the next section up which is the most heavily trafficked segment of the Grand Parkway in existence as a full toll road, how can we do Segment C out in the undeveloped portion of the county."
Officials say there's still room for modifications, but the road will still likely include on and off ramps, overpasses and eventually toll booths.

My Theory on what GRRM did with AFFC

You know how people complain that "not much happens in AFFC" etc etc. Well, I have just started AFFC (about a third of the way through), and I agree that it is quite a different book. But I think that's what GRRM intended.
AGOT, ACOK and ASOS (can't comment on ADWD as I haven't read it yet) are full-on history books. Think Anthony Beevor writing about the Second World War, or Stalingrad. Big, powerful books describing, at a military and political level, a massive historical event, the tactics, the political machinations, the alliances, etc. I think GRRM wrote the first 3 books like that too.
But other people sometimes write different types of history books: like "Peasant Life in the Middle-Ages", or "Life of An Ordinary Roman", or "Village Life in Japan in the 14th Century" or whatever.
Well, I think GRRM wanted to write a book like that, and this is what AFFC is, to a degree: life in Westeros for all sorts of more ordinary people in the era of the War of the 5 Kings.
He already hinted at that with Arya's chapters in ASOS.
It's like the history of that war at a military and political level is covered by other books, and he wanted to write about people at the fringes (the Ironborn, the Dornish) as well as the life of smallfolk in affected regions like the Riverlands.

Also, Martin may have gained a touch of hubris with his writing, as the delays in the release of AFFC and DwD seem to be due to him overestimating his ability to edit his grand plans.

I also think it is much more emotionally-centered than the other books have been, both in terms of smallfolk & our central cast. GRRM is building our empathy for these characters. Probably because he's about to kill them all.

The first three books build on top of each other, so by the time you've finished with SoS, you've realized you've read an incredible trilogy. A lot of exposition and foundation was used in GoT, while CoK built the action up, with SoS reaping the benefits. There's really no way to keep doing that without layering in more base to build off of, so AFFC was that base.
I think this is by far the best explanation. Other things may be going on in A Feast for Crows, like exposition on daily life, but I don't think that is the book's primary purpose. You need to set up the dominoes before you can push them down. You need to build a house of cards before it can fall.

Hi everyone,
So, my summer has begun and now that I have spent the last few weeks basically sleeping to recover all the hours that I lost during this school year, it is time to get back on track with review movies. I will admit that I have been procrastinating. I'm going to be pretty far back for a while but good news is that you can take these as short DVD recommendation for now.
1. Saving Mr. Banks
Director: John Lee Hancock
Starring: Emma Thompson, Tom Hanks, Paul Giamatti, Collin Farrell, Ruth Wilson, B.J. Novak and Jason Schwartzman.
Rating: PG-13
The Plot: The story of Mary Poppins being made into a film and the hidden story behind the tale itself.
The Review: I was really excited when this movie was announced but I don think that going I knew what I was expecting. It is the story of Walt Disney acquiring the rights to make Mary Poppins into a film and the difficult process with the writer, P.L. Travers. That's what I thought the whole movie was about but it is also the story behind Mary Poppins and how in ties into the writers life. I guess it turns out that I really didn't understand the story as a child. To say the least, the story was enlightening, interesting, and well executed with good dialogue and transition between the past and the present. It paid attention to detail, so that even the smallest thing like pear can be apart of the plot. It made point of the plot interesting. As for casting, was it the most look alike casting not really. I mean come on does Tom Hanks really look like Walt Disney? No, but did each of the actors embodied and execute the feeling of the person they were play? Yes, and that is what is important especially Emma Thompson, who just stole the movie. It heartfelt, funny, and sad in all the right places with good dialogue, acting that made you attached to the characters, beautiful cinematography and score, and an enchanting story that I found interesting.
Watch it?
I thought it was worth it and I personally really love it.

2. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Director: Ben Stiller
Starring: Ben Stiller, Adam Scott, Sean Penn,
Rating: PG-13
The Plot: After the cover photo for the last magazine issue is lost, a daydreaming photo developer must go on a journey to track down.
The Review: I don't know what about this movie really caught my attention but its first trailer is still one of my favorite and the best I've seen. Nothing said just a series a nice clips set to Dirty Paws by Of Monsters and Men. The film has a very somber pace and is something that is visual based. Meaning it has beautiful cinematography but don't expect a lot of action and CGI explosions. Its funny and has good dialogue performed by just a great cast. It has feeling and a good feeling and I find it different from what Ben Stiller is known for doing. It's not heavily romance based but self-discovery with a bit of impossibility to it but I think that's where the fun lies. Not bad for your first serious directing shot Ben Stiller.
Watch it?
I think it's worth a shot.

LONDON, Nov 11 — Britain's BBC must undergo a radical overhaul in the wake of "shoddy" journalism which led to the resignation of its chief or its future will be in doubt, the head of the state-funded broadcaster's governing body said today.
Chris Patten, chairman of the BBC Trust, said opponents of the BBC, especially Rupert Murdoch's media empire, would take advantage of the turmoil to up the pressure on its long-term rival.
"If you're saying, does the BBC need a thorough structural radical overhaul, then absolutely it does and that is what we will have to do," Patten, a one-time senior figure in Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative Party and the last British governor of Hong Kong, told BBC TV.
BBC Director General George Entwistle resigned late on Saturday just two months into the job, after the corporation's flagship news program aired mistaken allegations of child sex abuse against a former leading politician.
Already under pressure after revelations that a long-time star presenter had been a pedophile, Entwistle quit saying the unacceptable standards of the Newsnight report had damaged the public's confidence in the 90-year-old BBC.
"As the director general of the BBC, I am ultimately responsible for all content as the editor-in-chief, and I have therefore decided that the honorable thing for me to do is to step down," he said.
Patten joined critics who said a complex hierarchical management structure at the BBC was partly to blame. One of the BBC's most prominent journalists Jeremy Paxman, a Newsnight presenter, said in recent years, management had become bloated while cash was cut from program budgets.
"He (Entwistle) has been brought low by cowards and incompetents," Paxman said in a statement.
Patten, in charge of finding a successor to sort out the turmoil at an institution affectionately known as "Auntie", said changes needed to be made after describing the Newsnight journalism as "shoddy".
Chinese communist party
"One of the jokes I made, and actually it wasn't all that funny, when I came to the BBC ... was that there were more senior leaders in the BBC than there were in the Chinese communist party," Patten said.
Entwistle only succeeded Mark Thompson, set to take over as chief executive of the New York Times Co, in September and almost immediately faced one of the biggest crises in the history of the BBC, funded by a license fee paid by TV viewers.
This was the revelation by rival broadcaster ITV that the late Jimmy Savile, one of the most recognizable personalities on British television in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, had sexually abused young girls, some on BBC premises.
Suggestions then surfaced of a pedophile ring inside the BBC at the time, and a cover-up. Police have launched an inquiry and detectives said they had arrested their third suspect on Sunday, a man in his 70s from Cambridgeshire in central England.
Entwistle was condemned for the BBC's slow response to the Savile furor and then lambasted after it emerged that Newsnight had axed a planned expose into Savile shortly after his death and that the broadcaster had gone ahead with tributes instead.
His appearance before a parliamentary committee provoked mockery, with one lawmaker saying he had shown a "lamentable lack of knowledge" of what was going on at his own organization.
Thompson has also faced questions from staff at the New York Times over whether he is still the right person to take one of the biggest jobs in American newspaper publishing.
The knives were out for Entwistle on Friday after the BBC apologized for the mistaken allegation that an ex-politician, later identified on the Internet as a close ally of former prime minister Margaret Thatcher, had abused children, and had not asked him for a comment before broadcast.
The last straw came when Entwistle was forced to admit on BBC radio that he had not been told about the Newsnight report before it aired nor known - or asked - who the alleged abuser was until the name appeared in social media.
Asked if the Newsnight fiasco was just an embarrassing episode or something more fundamental, Home Secretary (interior minister) Theresa May said: "I think it's between the two.
"There is an issue about the quality of journalism which is what the BBC has been renowned for over the years, so that strikes at the heart of the BBC."
While respected around the world, the BBC has long been resented by its commercial rivals, who argue the license fee gives it an unfair advantage and distorts the market.
Murdoch's Sun tabloid gleefully reported Entwistle's departure with the headline "Bye Bye Chump" and Patten said News Corp and others would put the boot in, happy to deflect attention after a phone-hacking scandal put the newspaper industry under painful, intense scrutiny.
"You've only got to watch television in America or France or Italy to know how good the BBC is. The basis for the license fee, the basis for the BBC's position in this country, is the trust that people have in it," he said
"If the BBC loses that, it's over. There are one or two newspapers, Mr Murdoch's papers, who would love that but I think the great British public doesn't want to see that happen."
Murdoch himself was watching from afar. "BBC getting into deeper mess. After Savile scandal, now prominent news program falsely names senior pol as pedophile," he wrote on his Twitter website yesterday. — Reuters

I can be having a totally normal conversation about something totally normal, but there is something else, a depth of history surrounding us like a mist. Unseen but felt.

I'm very happy to be an academic scientist. And I'm not alone:
a study presented this week at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association finds that academic scientists — in the natural and social sciences — are more satisfied than are their counterparts outside of higher education. The original hypothesis of the paper was that there might be a convergence of satisfaction levels, especially since satisfaction was defined in ways that stress traditional academic values, not more entrepreneurial ones. The scientists were asked about satisfaction with their independence and responsibility and the social contributions of their work — the sorts of factors that many fear are being lost as academic science at many universities is increasingly connected to the business world. (Although they were asked many other questions about their jobs, the satisfaction questions were defined in this way only.)
The authors — Roberta Spalter-Roth of the sociology association and Grant Blank of Applied Social Research Associates — found instead that academic scientists (except psychologists) remain more satisfied than those outside academe.
The article goes on to present a bunch of odd demographic breakdowns that mostly indicate that statistical significance is a funny thing, but the general trend makes a lot of sense. After all, there's a lot to like about being an academic scientist– the job security, the rewarding work, the freedom to do what you love.
The job offers a lot of flexibility, too. For example, I was able to arrange it so that I'm not teaching any classes this fall term, leaving me free to stay home and help take care of FutureBaby.
Speaking of which, if anybody needs me, I'll be at the hospital.

Yngvar's Saga
Vikings in Russia
Hermann Palsson and Paul Edwards (Translators)
Edinburgh University Press, 1989
This tale of a disinherited prince who goes off to seek his fortune
was probably written around the beginning of the 13th century. It
is a translation into Icelandic of a lost Latin work called the "Vita Yngvari"
(Life of Yngvar) by Odd Snorrason the Learned, a Benedictine monk who lived
at the monastery in Thingeyrar in the second half of the 12th century.
Odd also wrote a life of King Olaf Tryggvason. Yngvar's Saga is presented
as a tale of Christian missionaries heading into Russia, but in the reading
it's pretty clear from other contemporary sources that Odd was redressing
tales that were still being told in a better light. Despite this,
the Saga has a very "oral" feel to it and there are a number of good episodes
in it (the hazard of the whirlpool, Gapi) which would make fine stand-alone
stories. [AY]
Buy Vikings in Russia
Yusuf and Zuleikha
Jami, David Pendlebury (Translator)
The Octagon Press, 1996
Jami was a 15th Century Persian Sufi poet. İThe tale of Yusuf and Zuleikha had been around in oral forms and was a popular story, but Jami worked the same treatment on it that Nizami had done centuries earlier with Layla wa Majnun.İ The Middle-eastern version of the tale is much more sympathetic to Zuleikha than the Biblical version is to the unnamed wife of Potiphar; and Jami's version in particular transforms the story of a lustful, adulterous woman into a story of the soul's longing for union with God (and hopefully some of that came through when I told part of it at Boredom War).
And I definitely have to agree with my master that there is certainly a great deal of room for freshness in tellings of stories from the Bible. İWith stories as with quests, the enjoyment is in the journey rather than the end.İ A strong telling can more than compensate for the fact that an ending is known. [TbIaI]

Every child deserves an opportunity
By: Cherie Rayburn, contributing writer
| Posted: May 28, 2004
Ver󮩣a Chᶥz holds her two-year-old son, Mateo, who was developmentally behind when he entered the Mi Casita Child Survival Program in Ecuador. Now Mateo is on his way to improved health.
Even prior to birth, thousands of children in the developing world must fight for their lives. Malnutrition and disease become their enemies before they leave their mothers' wombs. And those who do survive are too often doomed to a life that is only a shadow of what it could be.
Making a difference
Early childhood intervention programs sponsored by Compassion are making a significant difference around the world - one mother and child at a time. Consider, for example, Verónica Chávez and her two-year-old son, Mateo, who are enrolled in the Mi Casita Child Survival Program (EC-CS2) in Santa Rita, Ecuador. The program serves little ones through age six and their caregivers, as well as expectant mothers.
At the time she learned she was pregnant, Verónica and her husband were separated. With nowhere else to go, she moved in with her in-laws. Although her husband contributes some food and other basic provisions each month, he lives with another woman and is pursuing a divorce.
Verónica doesn't work and depends completely on her in-laws to provide for her and Mateo. The family rarely has milk and eats primarily rice, beans, bananas and tuna. Verónica constantly suffers from gastritis and recurring bouts of rheumatic fever.
At Mi Casita, both mother and son are receiving the nutrition and medical attention they so desperately need. Verónica is also learning how to provide physical stimulation and learning opportunities for Mateo.
Marked improvement
When they started the program, Mateo was developmentally delayed, unable even to stand on his own. Now he is walking, thanks to the exercises his mother has learned to strengthen his legs. Although he is still a little underweight, Mateo, a happy, playful child, has made remarkable progress and is well on his way to improved health and normal development.
Most important, Verónica and Mateo are shown unconditional love, care and support by project workers, who demonstrate that all children - including little Mateo - are precious to God and deserve the opportunity to become all they can be in Him.

'Welcome to US Airways – the new American and a proud member of the Star Alliance network'
We are in 'limbo-land'. Until March, when US Airways officially exits in the Star Alliance, this is the interesting greeting one gets to hear (or at least I got to hear) on US Airways flights, now a part of American Airlines. The merger has happened, but the transition of US Airways from Star Alliance to OneWorld is yet to complete (expected in March). So, till then, we have some wonderful opportunities as far as miles are concerned. It is a unique opportunity to maximize some miles:
- Miles earned using a US Airways Dividend Miles number will get merged with American Airlines AAdvantage miles, so every mile you earn using your US Airways program is really an American Airlines mile
- US Airways flights are counting towards American Airlines Elite qualification
- You can earn American Airlines miles on any Star Alliance member airlines! All you have to do is use your US Airways Dividend Miles # and the miles earned will become American Airlines miles. So, fly Lufthansa or Singapore Airlines, earn American miles!
- American Airlines and US Airways both are offering 1.5 times the miles if you fly the metal of one airline and use the others mileage program to earn miles
- If you do not have both credit cards, now is the time to get them. The miles will all add up! I had a US Airways card from before. I got an American Airlines card at the end of last year

proud traitor of star alliance … kinda like the edward snowden of carriers
Still wouldn't recommend purchasing US miles unless it's to top off an award?
Buying miles is never a good deal (in my mind) unless to top off an award. I have only bought miles for that purpose, once
"…every mile you earn using your US Airways program is really an American Airlines mile"
is this a US official statement?
btw, can you book AA using US miles right now?
@DJ, Yes. This is official. And yes you can redeem US miles on AA and vice versa. See under 'New Customer benefits' on this webpage:

Words at Play : Top 10 Words with Bizarre Meanings
#3: Axinomancy
divination by means of the movements of an ax placed on a post
About the Word:
An ancient means of determining guilt, axinomancy involved balancing an ax on a post, and reading a list of names aloud. If the ax moved at a particular name, that person was deemed guilty.
In another (equally strange) version, a marble was placed on a redhot ax; the motion of the marble signaled guilt.

Archive for the 'W. Jim Roberts' tag
Jim Roberts, where are you (and your Duesenberg hotrod?)
There's rarely a hotrod that doesn't leave a trail but the W. Jim Roberts Duesenberg Special is…wait for it…a Duesey.
The W. Jim Robers Duesenberg Special. Mr. Roberts, Indianapolis sportsman and Ford dealer, spent more than two years and several thousand dollars in rebuilding a Model J chassis and in the construction of a totally different Duesenberg guise.
I ran across it in Elbert's very fine book Duesenberg while researching J-188 for an upcoming story. The accompanying caption is the only information on the car I've been able to turn up in a couple weeks of admittedly intermittent searching. I haven't hit up the (Duesenberg expert) Randy Emas of the world, but there's no Jim Roberts listed in the Duesenberg J registry, nor could I find it an any of the period magazines – not that I even know what period it is, although I'd guess early Fifties.
Has anyone ever heard of, or seen this car? And what happened to it?

Japan gives Philippines P215M for green vehicles-A A +A
Wednesday, March 12, 2014
THE Government of Japan on Wednesday gave the Philippines 500 million yen or P215 million to help in the production of eco-friendly vehicles in the country.
In a statement released by the Japanese Embassy in Manila, it disclosed that Japanese Ambassador to Manila Toshinao Urabe and Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert Del Rosario had exchanged notes for the "Non-Project Grant Aid (NPGA): Next-Generation Vehicle Package."
"The project aims to contribute to the reduction of environmental pollution in the Philippines caused by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions," said the Japanese embassy.
"Specifically, the project is intended to provide eco-friendly vehicles that will promote the development of the Philippines through making use of Japanese technology," it further said.
These, it said, include hybrid vehicles (HVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), electric vehicles (EVs), and clean diesel vehicles (CDs).
The Embassy said projects under the NPGA aim to assist developing countries in responding to different economic and social needs.
"Projects such as this serve as a continuing testimony of strategic partnership between Japan and the Philippines," said the Japanese embassy. (HDT/Sunnex)

Introduction to Health Services Research : A Self-Study Course
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's (http://www.rwjf.org/) mission is to improve the health and health care of all Americans. In its first 25 years, it has provided more than $2.6 billion to organizations and institutions across the country that are working on finding solutions to our nation's health and health care problems. It was founded in 1936.
The Foundation funds its grantees through both multi-site "national programs" and single-site projects. National programs are typically directed from institutions outside the Foundation by small staffs of experts supported by grant funds. Grantees are selected from among applicants responding to the Calls for Proposals -- some representing new programs, some recurring ones -- that are issued annually.
Current areas of research interest include:
The Research Center section of the site is particularly rich in content especially for those who plan to apply for Foundation funding. For example, junior researchers may find the Tools and Resources link useful with its linked tools and tips for conducting research and evaluation. Surveys and datasets (public-use data files and documentation, and a complete list of RWJF-sponsored data collections) collected since 1982 are available other researchers and analysts through the University of Michigan's Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research.
The Methodology section links to articles that either review or implement unique research methods. The Policy Synthesis initiative produces "concise and thought-provoking briefs and reports that translate research findings on perennial health policy questions. By synthesizing what is known, while weighing the strength of the evidence and exposing gaps in current knowledge, the project seeks to give decision-makers reliable information and new insights to inform complex policy decisions." Examine the Evaluations for articles dealing with evaluations of projects funded by the Foundation.
Register your email address with the Foundation to get put into their email alerting service database and to select the topics you want to see information about.
The Foundation's quarterly newsletter, Advances, reports on the key work of the Foundation through articles and interviews, lists of recent grants, reports on closed grants, summaries of RWJF-funded research and other news from the Foundation. The email alerts notify you when the current issue of Advances is available.

By TIMOTHY KARROtherwords
Representative Spencer Bachus stands out among conservatives.
Representing Alabama's 6th district, he's built his political reputation as a supporter of fiscal responsibility, limited government and constitutional rights - with special attention to the First and Fourth Amendments.
Net Neutrality is under attack
It shouldn't have come as a surprise to hear this southern Republican speak in favor of net neutrality, the principle that preserves free speech on the Web. "There shouldn't be fast lanes on the Internet," Bachus told Politico after a House Judiciary Committee hearing last month.
But his statement was out of the ordinary because net neutrality has become politicized. Most Republican politicians oppose it while their Democratic counterparts, by and large, support it. It's gotten so divisive that the issue's true meaning has gotten mired in industry spin and partisan talking points.
But net neutrality is simple: It means that Internet users have the right to connect with anyone else on the network without their service providers discriminating, censoring or otherwise interfering with their communications. The Federal Communications Commission is the agency with the power to prevent companies like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon from blocking content or favoring certain websites over others. But so far it's been reluctant to act on behalf of Internet users.
And so an issue drawing broad support across the country is being held hostage by Washington politics.
An industry-friendly columnist writing for the Wall Street Journal even called net neutrality "a government takeover of the Internet."
Not at all. Net neutrality was baked into the DNA of the Internet at its inception. It's allowed us to decide where we go on the network without access providers hindering our movement.
Guaranteeing net neutrality doesn't let the government seize control of the network. Instead, it preserves the very democratic idea that the Internet is a space shared and shaped by its millions of users.
But false claims persist. The last time the FCC tried to create an open Internet rule, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) declared that net neutrality was "censorship of the Internet."
Actually, net neutrality is the opposite of censorship. It dictates that Internet service providers behave as "common carriers" - a standard under which network providers must transport information from one user to the next without interference. The FCC has the power to restore common-carriage rules as a means of protecting free speech over private networks.
Simple, right? Unfortunately, the phone and cable lobbies have funneled untold sums of money to politicians and pundits willing to confuse us all.
On the other side of the debate, you have millions of everyday citizens speaking out, inundating the FCC with comments, and demanding that the agency take action on behalf of the open Internet. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has promised to weigh these comments before creating a rule later this year.
The good news is that the industry's tactics don't seem to be working in the face of growing public outrage and plain-old common sense.
Bachus concluded that the "easiest way" to prevent discrimination online is to classify Internet service providers as common carriers. He's not alone in reaching this conclusion. Independents and moderates are also speaking out.
During a panel held last month in Portland, Maine, Senator Angus King, an independent who caucuses with the Democratic Party, said the need for net neutrality protections is obvious. "We really shouldn't be having this debate," he added. "It's crazy."
In fact, once you get beyond the Beltway it becomes clear that net neutrality is one of those issues that unites the left, right and center. Can you name another policy debate where the Christian Coalition and NARAL Pro-Choice America are on the same side?
But it's going to take all of us standing up for our free speech rights to convince a majority in Washington to ignore the industry spin and pass a simple and enforceable net neutrality rule.
The voices of Spencer Bachus and Angus King are welcome additions to the chorus of politicians who have championed the open Internet. It's time more of their colleagues - from both major parties - spoke out in support of an Internet that fosters free speech for everyone.
Timothy Karr is the senior director of strategy for Free Press.

Porsche 911 Turbo Recalls
The mounting holes in the seat belt anchor plates may be too small. If the hole diameter is too small, the anchor cannot rotate around the fastening bolt as designed. If this were to occur, the seat belt may not be routed optimally around the seat occupant, or it may loosen at some point, increasing the risk of injury during a crash. Dealers will inspect the anchor plates and fastening screws and, if necessary, replace the seat belt. The Porsche recall number is AB02.
Some vehicles were equipped with center locking hub and wheel assemblies. Over time, the hubs can wear prematurely. As the hubs wear, the wheels could loosen, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the central locking wheels and hubs with an improved design. Porsche has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. The Porsche recall number is AB01.

RIGHTS OF MAN. The schooner Rights of Man was purchased by John Richardson Harris for $1,000 and used to carry goods between Texas and New Orleans during the late 1820s and early 1830s. In 1828 it took eighty-four bales of cotton to New Orleans. To Texas it brought nails, flour, tobacco, clothing, and assorted consumer goods. After Harris's death in 1829 the Harris estate continued to operate the ship, and it was used in 1832 to return Mexican troops from Texas to Mexico.

The Refuge is at the the Gulf State Park on the north side of Shelby Lakes in Gulf Shores. It's expensive for a state operated golf course but it's a better value than some of the more upscale courses in the Gulf Shores area.
The course is carved through the woods with no homes or development along the holes and very scenic. It's a playable layout for the most part as the fairways are wide enough off the tee, but lined with trees with a moderate amount of bunkering and several water hazards. It's an Earl Stone design from the early 1970's, and from the White tees is 6,100+ yards, with a 70.4 course rating and a 118 slope with shorter and longer tees available.
No golf course reviews have been submitted on this course.

The unwieldy hand that you control in Weird Egg & Crushing Finger at first seems nothing more than the key component in one of Terry Gilliam's absurd animations.
In fact, if the hand crushed with an open palm rather than a dainty prod, it would be only a slight variation on the iconic, destructive foot of Cupid that appeared so often in Monty Python's title screens and sketches.
But it's a prod, and a prod is more inquisitive and much less certain in its crushing capabilities than an open palm or foot. A prod bears doubt and can cause accidental mishaps. It's the difference between curiously poking at a strange bug you found and stomping on it in a blind panic until it's flattened into the soil.
That all you can do in Weird Egg & Crushing Finger is prodding is important because it reflects your uncertainty when interacting with the game's world.
Holding such power in this world came with great responsibility.
As the yellow clay forms an island beneath your finger, surrounded by stripy water, you'll start to dab the surface to see what happens. When the titular white egg appears in the middle, your prods crack it open to reveal a worm that wriggles around—your curiosity breeds life.
With that lesson learned comes the much harsher realization that you can also take away life just as easily. My initial playing of Weird Egg & Crushing Finger ended abruptly when I poked the worm, killing it, and then constantly prodding the colorful soul that appeared in its place in hopes of a resurrection. In a matter of seconds I had created all life and ended all life.
The implication of the prodding finger as an experimental touch and not a tool of destruction led me to believe that I should be more careful. Holding such power in this world came with great responsibility. Essentially, I was playing a god.
We often think of gods as being all-knowing, wise, and able to mold the world as they see fit. But what if that wasn't the case?
I watched as a bi-pedal species of hunters, commoners, and sorcerers emerged from the worm. This was a cause for great joy. Then they built a little town and started to kill each other. Not long after this, a monstrous skull creature rose from the seas and began murdering the people. I sat there, not knowing what to do, deciding on whether or not I should interfere.
I felt terrible. It had got out of control, but I wasn't to know what would happen. It makes you think. If there is a higher power, are they also fretting as I did, unable to control what their inquisitive prod had started?
You can play Weird Egg & Crushing Finger in your browser.
