In 1998-99, the software industry in India was worth Rs. 158.9 billion (US$ 3.9 billion). If the value of in-house development, which is taking place at many large corporates, is added then the figure would touch around Rs. 190 billion (US$ 4.6 billion). This phenomenal growth has not been achieved overnight. The C.A.G.R (Compounded Annual Growth Rate) for the Indian software industry revenues in the last five years has been 56.3 percent. Here the C.A.G.R. for the software export industry has been 60.71 percent while that for the domestic market has been 46.05 percent.
Domestic Software Market
In 1998-99, the domestic software market has been estimated at Rs. 49.5 billion (US$ 1.25 billion) and this does not include the in-house development of software by end users. The domestic software market has shown a C.A.G.R. of 46.05 percent which has been steadily improving in the last few year
The growth rate of the domestic software market was 41.02 percent 1998-99. The domestic software market is expected to gross Rs. 73 billion in 1999-2000. With the rigorous enforcement of Copyright laws, increase in government spending on I.T. it is expected that in the coming years, the domestic market for software can even register more than 50 percent annual growth rates.
Also, the government has implemented zero import duty on software. This is already having buoyant effect on the market and there is a increasing trend of buying software through the Internet. It is expected that by 2008 revenues of Indian domestic software market would touch US $ 37 billion. In the next few years, the prominent growth in the domestic software market is expected to get boost by segments such as banking, E-governance, defence, etc.
Software Export Industry
The Indian software export industry continues to show impressive growth rates. In terms of Indian rupees, the C.A.G.R. over the past five years has been as high as 60.71 percent. The industry...

By Michael C. Forcade & Katherine C. Cowan
When you register for the NASP 2012 Annual Convention, you gain access to more than 1,000 different peer-reviewed presentations and special sessions. Ideally, you should be targeting skills areas that directly address the priorities of your district to strengthen your role within the system. With so many possibilities, you need to select sessions wisely.
NASP offers a few helpful tools to make the most of your time in Philadelphia.
Take the NASP self-assessment. NASP has defined and is strongly advocating for the comprehensive and integrated role of the school psychologist with the 2010 standards and the NASP Practice Model. Educational sessions at the convention represent the range of professional practice domains, offering a wealth of opportunity to build skills in areas that will strengthen your comprehensive role. We encourage you to review the 10 domains and take a brief self-assessment (takes about 15 minutes) online at http://www.nasponline.org/standards/survey/self-assessmentintro.aspx to help you target the topics and sessions that will be most valuable. Hint: Don't simply gravitate to the topics you find most comfortable. Take on an issue or area of practice in which you can grow both in terms of skills and in terms of your role. Think about the added valued you receive (and can contribute to your colleagues and those you serve) by enhancing your skills relative to a serious need or problem in your schools (e.g., data collection regarding improved school climate and safety) and your ability to communicate this crucial expertise to key decision makers.
Use the "Planning Your Schedule" tool online. All sessions and workshops are listed online in a planning tool that allows you to search and review sessions by topic and presenter. In the new year, you will be able to organize by time and day (http://www.nasponline.org/conventions/2012/schedule.aspx). You can select the sessions you want based on your need, and will be able to identify second and third choices in case of conflicts or filled rooms, and create and print you schedule ahead of time. Hint: If you are attending the convention with district colleagues, consider coordinating your choices so that you get maximum skills development on key district issues. For example, if implementing RTI is a priority, identify sessions that address various aspects of implementation (such as DS02: The Stoplight Mentality: Implementing RTI With Limited Resources; and DS08: Using Single-Case Design to Measure Response to Intervention), and split who attends each. Share the schedule and your plan with your supervisor either to advocate for permission to attend the convention or to facilitate planning.
Participate in the NASP Communities. Officially launched in September, the online NASP Communities (http://communities.nasponline.org/Home) are a great place to interact with colleagues on key issues, and with convention presenters. Presenters are being invited to post information and host discussions in the NASP Member Exchange about their session in advance of the convention. Hint: Participants are given the opportunity to engage on the topic, learn more about what the presentation will cover beyond the program description, and prepare better for the experience. Presenters can promote their session and perhaps even adjust it slightly to incorporate some of the key questions people are asking.
Plan to use the new NASP Online Learning Center. More than 100 hours of convention Featured Sessions, Documented Sessions, and Workshops will be video recorded at the convention and made available via NASP's completely new Online Learning Center (OLC; http://www.nasponline.org/profdevel/onlinelearning.aspx). The OLC allows you to access the high quality continuing professional development (CPD) credits previously limited to in-person convention and summer conference attendance. All sessions included on the OLC are NASP- and APA-approved and feature nationally known experts, synchronized PowerPoint presentations, downloadable handouts, and a printable documentation of attendance issue.
Of course, all work and no play at the Philadelphia convention is just not right. As if the packed program of educational sessions from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. were not enough, several special events are planned to round out your schedule. Here is a glimpse of what NASP has in store for you in the City of Brotherly Love. Check online and in your program for even more and be sure to include them in your planning!
Welcome Orientation. First timers and old timers alike are welcome to attend this session at an all new time on Tuesday at 8:00 a.m. Learn how to get the most out of the convention and meet new people you will pass numerous times over the following few days.
Philadelphia Welcome Party. School psychologists will be rocking to the beat both on the stage and the dance floor. Party with a terrific band that includes a school psychologist. Join your colleagues for a winter blast full of networking, music, dancing, and fun. Mark your calendar for Tuesday evening at 9:00 p.m.
Yoga. Rise and shine early on Wednesday and Friday to warm up for your convention day with an hour of yoga. Check the program for the 7:00 a.m. location.
NASP 5K. This event returns to the DIY (do it yourself) format for Philadelphia. There will be organized runs and many other exercise options to burn off those calories. Participate in one of the runs, walks, or other activities on a personalized schedule. Preregistration is required to be assured a stylish T-shirt as a souvenir of your participation.
Book Discussion With Dr. Peg Dawson. Meet the author and discuss her book, Smart but Scattered: The Revolutionary "Executive Skills" Approach to Helping Kids Reach Their Potential. Check the program for time and location.
NASP Awards Reception. Extend your convention day on Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. by coming together to honor colleagues and others for outstanding work and support of our profession.
Multicultural Meet and Greet. Join your colleagues in a celebration of diversity. Network with other members, pick up multicultural resources and information, and hear about the accomplishments and initiatives of the NASP Multicultural Affairs Committee on Thursday morning at 8:30.
30th Annual Past President's Roast. Who says leaders get respect? Warm up for Thursday dinner by attending (4:00 to 6:30 p.m.) a slightly irreverent review of the professional accomplishments of former NASP President Diane Smallwood.
Children's Fund Auction. This is the best place for fun on Thursday evening at 6:00. The auction is more than a fundraiser that benefits children. Enjoy the competition of bidding along with with a cash bar, networking, and plenty of time left over for a late dinner.
With all these choices, don't forget to fit in time to explore Philadelphia and all it has to offer. The convention program and city will make your week fly by and make for a memorable experience on both the professional and personal levels.
Michael C. Forcade is the convention chair and Katherine C. Cowan is NASP Director of Communications.

Pretty much everything that is (hopefully) useful, practical, and relevant which I can tell you about this wonderful Thai ingredient has been said in my post on how to use Nam Prik Pao in modern Thai cooking. And since I will not go into its historical background (as the purpose at hand is to create the kind of Thai chilli jam that is used in contemporary Thai cooking), the only thing left to talk about is how to make this versatile condiment at home.
The following two methods of making Nam Prik Pao are what I have been using. Both have their pros and cons.
The first method requires pan-toasting dried red chilies, slicing thinly and pan-frying the garlic and shallots, and pan-frying the dried shrimp.1
- This method yields a smokier, "nuttier" jam the taste of which resembles that of commercial Nam Prik Pao except it's fresher and more flavorful.
- The "jamming" stage takes less time due to the dehydration and caramelization of the garlic and shallots caused by pan-frying. It takes no more than 20 minutes over medium heat for the mixture to become loose jam which thickens up further upon cooling.
- This method yields the kind of Nam Prik Pao that is the most versatile. It can be used in Tom Yam, stir-fries, etc. It's terrific as a bread spread or a dip for fish skin "chips" or fried pork rinds whereas the result of the other method is, in my opinion, more limited in its usefulness (details on that below).
- The mandatory hand-slicing of the garlic and shallots is tedious and time-consuming. These ingredients need to be cut into uniformly thin slices to facilitate the process of pan-frying; this cannot be done in a food processor. To ensure even cooking and minimize mess, you may even want to follow what Kasma Loha-unchit has suggested which is to leave the sliced garlic and shallots out to dry a little before pan-frying them. Once dehydrated, they fry up more quickly and brown up more evenly without much oil splattering. While that's helpful, it also presents an extra step.
- From my experience, making (or telling people to make) Nam Prik Pao this way seems to bring all sorts of critics out of the woodwork. Even my paternal grandmother insisted Nam Prik Pao wasn't made this way. You just have to be prepared to explain to them that your main objective is not to recreate the historical Nam Prik Pao — whatever it might look like and however it was made — but to make the kind of condiment that is known in the here and now as Nam Prik Pao and used in contemporary Thai cuisine. To achieve that kind of Nam Prik Pao, you need to make it this way.
The second method (favored by my paternal grandmother) requires the roasting of the key ingredients. My grandmother would put whole garlic cloves and shallots on the skewers and roast them over low coals or an open flame of the stove until they're soft and slightly charred. The shrimp paste would be wrapped in a banana leaf packet and roasted in the same manner. The dried chilies would go into a skillet and get dry-toasted until they crisp up and become just slightly blistered on the outside.2 Then everything would be pounded together in a mortar and fried in oil.
Preparing the ingredients by roasting instead of frying them is the way my grandmother had been taught to do. And if she was here today, she'd most likely give you a lengthy treatise on how it is precisely due to the roasting of ingredients that this condiment has come to be referred to as Nam Prik Pao, literally roasted nam prik (chilli paste or chilli relish).
Though this makes a lot of sense, I can't prove or disprove it. Actually, I'm not sure I'm interested in either.
Care needs to taken not to burn them to prevent Nam Prik Pao that is dead on arrival.
- You don't need to slice anything manually; you don't need to pan-fry anything either. This shaves off more than half of the preparation time and significantly reduces the number of greasy things to wash.
- Roasting the ingredients is pretty easy and results in less mess than pan-frying.
- You end up with Nam Prik Pao that's terrific to serve mixed with rice and as a chili relish. It also works great in stir-fries and Tom Yam. For these applications, Nam Prik Pao derived through this method serves you well (see its limitations in the Cons section below).
- Nam Prik Pao made this way, in my opinion, lacks the depth of flavor that is achieved through the caramelization of the ingredients through pan-frying in oil.
- Nam Prik Pao made this way doesn't make such a great bread spread. If I hadn't grown up spreading my bread with commercial Nam Prik Pao, I might have loved this. But since that's not the case, Nam Prik Pao made with the second method presents an unfamiliar taste as a spread.
- Without the caramelization and dehydration of the main ingredients (achieved through pan-frying), things get sloshy in the mortar and when grandma asked you to pound the paste in a mortar, you'd get cranky. After about half an hour, you'd get bothcranky and spattered with chili paste.
- For the same reason stated in the previous point, the mixture, being so wet, takes much longer to reduce to jam-like consistency. Also, the end result never gets to be the familiar mahogany color; no matter how long you fry it, it never gets darker than dark terracotta.
- Choose whichever method works best for you. Or try both and decide which you like better. But if you know that you really, really like the flavor of commercial Nam Prik Pao, I'd suggest you go with the first method. Both methods employ the same ingredients; they're just prepared differently.Please note that the measurements, except for the liquids, are in metrics. This is because measuring these ingredients in cups and spoons has yielded inconsistent results in my many experiments. Besides, I'm assuming that those who care enough to make Nam Prik Pao from scratch most likely own a kitchen scale.

Kitsap educators get to be summer scientists in Seattle's biotech labs
SEATTLE - Kitsap teachers have spent the last couple of weeks as students in Seattle biotech labs, switching genes in bacteria and worms, studying stem cells — and asking plenty of questions.
Since July 9, they've been among 20 area teachers working with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center's Science Education Partnership, a program that pairs middle- and high-school teachers with scientists in biotech labs at Fred Hutchinson, University of Washington, Amgen and Seattle Children's Research Institute.
"Our first couple of days, we just acted like students," said Meagan Turner, a South Kitsap High School science teacher.
She said it's been years since she worked in a science lab. She lit up as she talked about genes and turning bacteria tangerine, thinking about how exciting it will be to be to bring the lessons back to the classroom.
The purpose of the program is to immerse teachers in a scientist's world to let them absorb the setting of the laboratory and practice the techniques, said Nancy Hutchison, director and one of the founders of the 20-year-old Science Education Partnership.
"Many teachers have never had the chance of being a scientist or not knowing the answer," often doing science experiments out of a "cookbook," said Nancy Hutchison, director and one of the founders of the 20-year old Science Education Partnership.
She said lab science is about asking questions and a willingness to say "I don't know, let's find out" by determining controls and doing experiments multiple times.
"If teachers can get more of a sense of what that's like, we can do more to recreate that in the classroom," she said.
Dave Mundy, a North Kitsap High School teacher, has had experience as a scientist — as a wildlife biologist in the field — but not much lab experience.
He went to Children's Research Institute with a team studying stem cells and proteins to see if they could find a way to regenerate cells to repair diseased arteries.
"I think that kids have a natural curiosity about the natural world," he said.
But by the time some get to high school, they become convinced they don't like science.
He's found it's not hard to re-spark that interest when they're in a lab doing authentic work with realistic scenarios that let them analyze the data they collect.
Next school year, he'll be adding an activity, a sort of "CSI" Wildlife, in which students will investigate a wildlife crime by matching DNA samples of several closely related endangered species.
Leann Bryan, who will teach chemistry and a new biotechnology class at Bremerton High, said that learning through active experiments and projects lets students own their learning.
"They can't be passive learners," she said.
She'll bring back to class what she observed at the University of Washington, genetically modifying tiny worms in a way that will change how they move.
"I'm really curious to see how it goes," she said. "It has the potential to get them really excited."
Program participants will return in September to collect pre-assembled experiment kits. They also will be able to network with past participants and welcome a scientist to their classroom during the year.
Turner said she isn't sure how she's going to fit it all into her little Honda, but she plans to bring back a three-crate experiment kit that allows students to sort DNA fragments by size and charge using special gels and an electrical field. The kit is worth $10,000.
Hutchison said that teachers can continue to borrow equipment and take surplus lab equipment collected by the Science Education Partnership. But after a few years, many seek out equipment for their districts with grants or district funds.
"It'll be a big change for kids," said Turner, who plans on doing a chapter on genetic engineering to incorporate an experiment involving switching genes in bacteria, which may make it change color.
"I think this is going to challenge my kids so much more than we're able to do," she said.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — This is the Saratoga season that should have elated everyone in the racing industry.
The track looks as grand as ever; the crowds are large and enthusiastic; the quality of the stakes competition is unmatched in the United States. And now, after a decade of hopes and delays, revenue from slot machines downstate at Aqueduct is infusing the sport, pushing prize money to unprecedented levels. Maidens at Saratoga are competing for purses as high as $85,000. The changed economics could revitalize the sport by encouraging more owners to buy and breed thoroughbreds.

Laurilee Thompson is co-owner of Dixie Crossroads, known for its rock shrimp. / FLORIDA TODAY FILE
Ive written a lot about what is happening to the Indian River Lagoon and pledged to myself that I would cover something else this week, just to give my readers a break. But then I heard Laurilee Thompson, probably the most respected voice for conservation in the county, tell this story, and I knew I needed to share it.
Laurilee is a member of the Thompson clan from northern Brevard. Her family has been involved with fishing and boating for generations. As a young woman, Laurilee was one of the first female, commercial fishing captains in the nation. Later, her family started Dixie Crossroads restaurant, which she co-owns today. And, she founded the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival, the most successful of its kind in the country. These are her words, with just a little editing for print. Thanks to Laurilee for letting us use them.
The north end of the river doesn't look that much different now than when I fished it 45 years ago. Its bordered by a wildlife refuge on the east and development stopped by the railroad on the west. As I looked south toward Titusville, I saw red and green lights flashing at the top of the railroad bridge. Those lights reminded me of something I saw on a long-ago summer morning.
I was heading to Mosquito Lagoon to fish for sea trout and passed under the Railroad Bridge. I saw a lot of splashing and fins in the water. No birds were diving, so I knew it wasn't a bait pod. I steered my boat toward the commotion to investigate and noticed a tremendous amount of dolphin movement around the big ruckus.
I eased closer, watching the rise and fall of dozens of fins. Inching nearer still, I was stunned to see an oval ring of dolphin fins that did not dip below the water. Four feet out from the ring of fins, the water churned in a second oval, a perfect perimeter of whitewater that surrounded the inner ring of fins.
In all of the hours I'd spent on the lagoon, I had never seen anything like this. I cut my motor and paddled slowly toward the turmoil. I finally got near enough to see the center of the frenetic activity and was amazed to witness something not many people get to see.
An injured dolphin was the center of attention a fully grown female. Family and friends from her pod surrounded her, each one with its nose under her body. They frantically pumped their tails, paddling furiously to hold her up so she could breathe. I watched in silent awe. Their frantic squeals rang in my ears. When one of the rescuers tired, it dropped down to be instantly replaced by another of the circling dolphins. They diligently kept up this behavior, lifting their injured friend. I put down my paddle and leaned back to contemplate this emotional scene I'd been so fortunate to witness.
The wind finally pushed my boat far enough from the dolphins so I could start my motor without disturbing them. I humbly turned north and continued my journey up to Haulover Canal. After a day of fishing, I headed home, passing the spot where I'd seen the dolphins eight hours earlier. They were still holding up the injured dolphin still doggedly supporting her heavy body to keep her from drowning. Who knows how long they kept it up. My guess is that they held up their friend until she drew her last breath. When I passed that spot the next morning, the dolphins were gone.
We live in a world of ever-changing baselines. What seems normal to each new generation would have been unacceptable to those who came before. I will never see the Indian River the same way that my grandfather saw it. What is abhorrent to me seems normal to my grandchildren. They have never seen a shoreline covered with fiddler crabs or a water column filled with graceful moon jellies. They have never experienced pulling an oyster or clam from the water and eating it on the spot.
Its up to us to reverse that trend.
One way to measure the character of a community is to look at what it protects. We protect what we value.
The Indian River is the heart and soul of our community. The river cant speak, so we must be her voice. Our river is dying. We must be as steadfast as the dolphins as we hold her up so she can keep on breathing. Our economy and our quality of life depend on her survival. We must speak for the river.
So that is where I see us all: We must speak for the river.
Winsten is executive director of Brevard Zoo.

Apple finally announced the iPad. This will be Apple's attempt into the tablet market. Since they announced it there has been a lot of praise about it, but there is also one major downside. There is no flash on the Apple iPad. This is a problem because it doesn't allow people to check out flash websites or play flash games.
While Engadget was at the press conference they snapped a picture showing the blue missing plugin icon.
This isn't a completely unexpected move by Apple considering the iPhone and iPod Touch don't have flash either, but everyone really wants it.
I guess only time will tell if we will get it, but for now we want to know what our readers think[poll id="3"]

Primary Immune Deficiency Diseases Alain Fischer ++ Immunity is intrinsic to life and an important tool in the fight for survival against pathogenic microorganisms. The human immune system can be divided into two major components: the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system (Chap. 314). The innate immune system provides the rapid triggering of inflammatory responses based on the recognition (at the cell surface or within cells) of either molecules expressed by microorganisms or molecules that serve as "danger signals" released by cells under attack. These receptor/ligand interactions trigger signaling events that ultimately lead to inflammation. Virtually all cell lineages (not just immune cells) are involved in innate immune responses; however, myeloid cells (i.e., neutrophils and macrophages) play a major role because of their phagocytic capacity. The adaptive immune system operates by clonal recognition of antigens followed by a dramatic expansion of antigen-reactive cells and execution of an immune effector program. Most of the effector cells die off rapidly, whereas memory cells persist. Although both T and B lymphocytes recognize distinct chemical moieties and execute distinct adaptive immune responses, the latter is largely dependent on the former in generating long-lived humoral immunity. Adaptive responses utilize components of the innate immune system; for example, the antigen-presentation capabilities of dendritic cells help to determine the type of effector response. Not surprisingly, immune responses are controlled by a series of regulatory mechanisms. ++ Hundreds of gene products have been characterized as effectors or mediators of the immune system (Chap. 314). Whenever the expression or function of one of these products is genetically impaired (provided the function is nonredundant), a primary immunodeficiency (PID) occurs. ++ Primary immunodeficiencies are genetic diseases with primarily Mendelian inheritance. More than 200 conditions have now been described and deleterious mutations in approximately 150 genes have been identified. The overall prevalence of PIDs has been estimated in various countries at 5 per 100,000 individuals; however, given the difficulty in diagnosing these rare and complex diseases, this figure is probably an underestimate. Primary immunodeficiencies can involve all possible aspects of immune responses, from innate through adaptive, cell differentiation, and effector function and regulation. For the sake of clarity, PIDs should be classified according to (1) the arm of the immune system that is defective and (2) the mechanism of the defect (when known). Table 316-1 classifies the most prevalent PIDs according to this manner of classification; however, one should bear in mind that the classification of PIDs sometimes involves arbitrary decisions because of overlap and, in some cases, lack of data. ++Table Graphic Jump LocationTable 316–1.

I was sitting on the porch looking off into the hazy distance when I saw an unusual looking trail in the water.
I looked closer and noticed a gaggle of geese swimming over towards the marshy area where the heron likes to hang out. They appeared robotic as they swam identically in a perfect row.
The geese made it to the marshy area and got comfortable when the heron arrived. The geese were honking at the heron and shaking their wings as the heron squawked right back at them. It was time to battle!!
The geese freaked out and flew away and the heron flew right after them.
The space in the island is so strange to comprehend or photograph. I find it so interesting how people's interpretations of the space changes once they enter it. Many people think the island looks too short to even stand in, but really it is about 9 feet tall in the center. Others think it looks a lot larger until they step inside. I love the distorted perspective you get as you navigate the space. I feel I get a more "real" sense of space instead of my brain forcing a linear perspective to analyze a room.
I had just collected all of the floating messages and restocked them before going back to the island to enjoy the sunset. I was enjoying the lovely scenery when I noticed four kids throwing all of the islands back out in the water…I was frustrated I had to go back out and bring all twenty of them they threw out back up the beach so others could send out messages, but at the same time I was thrilled these children enjoyed the floating messages so much that they could not stop sending them out. Anyway, I also thought this photo was hilarious because it looks like the children are standing on the ladies' heads.
Sometimes I like to pretend the island is my sky castle. I lay on the seats on the porch and look up at the door and the white curves against the clouds and I almost feel like I am floating (maybe it is the heat getting to me or the illusion of the moving clouds. haha) The other day, the clouds made such a crazy pattern in the sky, so I documented what I saw.
Maybe I should make a sky house!
Where do messages end up?
Really, this all depends on the wind. Some days, the wind blows the islands back to the shore where they are launched. Other days, they may blow over to the other side of the lake (like in the previous post). On really special days, the wind catches the messages just right and floats them over to us on the island where we can just reach over and pick them up out of the water. We have received about ten this way so far.
How do you retrieve the messages?
We row around and pick them up.
What is your favorite message?
Some people get really creative with the messages they send. One of my favorites was definitely the "Full Circle" message where someone found their original message on the blog, printed it out, and sent it back to us with "Full Circle" written on the print out. I also love receiving drawings and poems. Opening up a messages feels like Christmas. I feel excited every time I retrieve a message from its capsule.

Make dough. Put stuff in dough. Cook dough. Eat.
It's a simple concept, found all over the world. From bao and gyoza in Asia to empanadas and pupusas in the Americas, bread-with-stuff-in is a staple the world over. Rotis, pasties, samosas, dumplings, tamales, kreplach, pozi, pot pies, manti, pastelitos, momos, corn dogs—the varieties are endless. Big or small, sweet or savory, there's something in the bread-with-stuff-in line for every appetite.
Poland's version, the pierogi, is deceptively simple. The dough is just flour and water, and the stuffing is frequently just mashed potatoes and farmer's cheese, though a version with ground beef, cabbage, potatoes and spices is also very popular, and sweet pierogi with berries often show up in desserts. Traditionally a peasant dish, every stratum of Polish society has embraced the pierogi, and it's now widely considered the national dish of Poland. That's for good reason: they're delicious.
Pierogi have become staples of Polish cultural events. Krakow hosts a pierogi festival that draws thousands each year. Over the centuries, different shapes and fillings of pierogi were made for holidays like Christmas and Easter and for life transitions like weddings and wakes. Pierogi have even picked up a patron saint, St. Hyacinth. "St. Hyacinth and his pierogi!" is a rough equivalent to "good grief" or "holy smokes!"
If you find yourself at leisure in Poland (say, if you were on UW Alumni Tours' "Discover Eastern Europe" tour, which features opportunities for independent exploration in Warsaw and Krakow), you could do worse than to seek out these tasty treats.

Table of Contents
Corporations generally must make estimated tax payments if they expect their estimated tax (income tax less credits) to be $500 or more.
S corporations must make estimated tax payments for certain taxes. S corporations should see the Instructions for Form 1120S, U.S. Income Tax Return for an S Corporation, to figure their estimated tax payments.
Tax-exempt corporations, tax-exempt trusts, and domestic private foundations must make estimated tax payments for certain taxes. These entities should see the instructions for their tax return, to figure the amount of their estimated tax payments.
The installments generally are due by the 15th day of the 4th, 6th, 9th, and 12th months of the tax year. If any due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the installment is due on the next regular business day.
A corporation that does not make estimated tax payments when due may be subject to an underpayment penalty for the period of underpayment. Use Form 2220, Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Corporations, to see if the corporation owes a penalty and to figure the amount of the penalty. See Form 2220 and the Instructions for Form 2220.
A corporation that has overpaid its estimated tax may apply for a quick refund if the overpayment is at least 10% of its expected income tax liability and at least $500. To apply, file Form 4466, Corporation Application for Quick Refund of Overpayment of Estimated Tax, after the end of the tax year and before the corporation files its income tax return. Form 4466 may not be filed later than the 15th day of the 3rd month after the end of the tax year.
Some corporations (described below) are required to electronically deposit all depository taxes, including estimated tax payments.
Corporations must use electronic funds transfer to make all federal tax deposits (such as deposits of employment, excise, and corporate income tax). This includes installment payments of estimated tax. Generally, electronic funds transfer is made using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). However, if the corporation does not want to use EFTPS, it can arrange for its tax professional, financial institution, payroll service, or other trusted third party to make deposits on its behalf. Also, it may arrange for its financial institution to initiate a same-day tax wire payment (discussed below) on its behalf. EFTPS is a free service provided by the Department of the Treasury. Services provided by a tax professional, financial institution, payroll service, or other third party may have a fee.
To get more information about EFTPS or to enroll in EFTPS, visit www.eftps.gov or call 1-800-555-4477.
If, after the corporation figures and deposits estimated tax, it finds that its tax liability for the year will be more or less than originally estimated, it may have to refigure its required installments. If earlier installments were underpaid, the corporation may owe a penalty.
An immediate catchup payment should be made to reduce the amount of any penalty resulting from the underpayment of any earlier installments, whether caused by a change in estimate, failure to make a deposit, or a mistake.

How to Identify a "Good" Scientific Journal
Everyone says their scientific journal is more reputable than your scientific journal. Who's right?

Episode 50, June 15, 2007
Today's episode is about a subject that's as old as debating itself, and it was prompted by the following email:
I would love to look a lot of this up on my own, but am unsure about what sources can be trusted. I know you talked about how scientists are not created equal, but as an average person without the background to fully understand the primary sources or the ability to synthesize a consensus without reading meta-analyses, where can I go for reliable information?
This listener brings up a great point. If you follow any of the conversations on the Skeptalk email discussion list, you've probably heard us banter this back and forth. One guy says "Hey, leprechauns are real, here's an article in a peer reviewed scientific journal that says so," and then someone else replies "No they're not, because there haven't been any such articles in my peer reviewed scientific journals." Almost any debate can degrade into "My peer reviewed scientific journal is better than yours."
Now, a really satisfying answer to this question would be "Here, go to www.legitimate-scientific-journals.com, and you can see at a glance if your source is a credible one." Surely there must be some register like that, right? I will dash your hopes with a simple answer: No. There is no such thing as an authoritative list of reputable scientific journals. There can't be. And the reason is that word "authoritative". Who is qualified to be the authority? No one is. No one must be. The moment that any one group is anointed with the ability to declare a source to be legitimate or not, is the moment that we lose objectivity and impartiality.
It is very important to be aware that there is any number of bodies who do presume to be such an authority. Approach with extreme skepticism! The only reason anyone would compile such a list is to promote an agenda. Someone once commented on one of my episodes, and they tried to shoot me down by pointing out that one of my sources was discredited on a web site called sourcewatch.org. Sourcewatch.org, sounds pretty legitimate, sounds like they do good work, sounds like they're out there looking out for our best interests by rubber stamping some sources and discrediting others. But according to critics, Sourcewatch is a two-man operation that endorses only publications following their own narrow political bias. This is a perfect example of what you should expect from any source that attempts to identify itself as a rubber stamping authority. Be skeptical of any group you find whose purpose is to identify reputable journals.
As long as we're throwing around the word reputable, I might as well give the somewhat disappointing answer to the listener's question, and tell where you can find a reliable journal. Scientific journals achieve their status only through long histories and good reputations. To be broadly accepted within the mainstream scientific community, a journal must have established a long history of responsible reporting, good quality articles detailing well performed research, and exhaustive peer review. Long standing reputation among the scientists who matter the most. If you're not one of those scientists, it can be difficult to know which research is good, which editors and referees are good, and which journals have a long history of publishing them in good standing. For this reputation to have any meaning, it must stand on its own and not be supported by appearing on some simple list. Unfortunately, listener, you just have to know; but I will give you a starting point in a moment.
While it is essential that good journals be peer reviewed, you should be aware that almost every publication hoping for prominence describes itself as peer reviewed. When you hear someone defend their source by stating that it's peer reviewed, be skeptical. By itself, that's meaningless. Think back to our old example of the guy writing a UFO newsletter in his basement who has a couple of his UFOlogist buddies endorse his writing. Suddenly he's "peer reviewed". This is not the type of peer review that carries any meaning within the mainstream scientific community, since the peers have a clear agenda and have not established long histories of scientific acumen by the legitimate community at large. This is an extreme example, but it does accurately portray a lot of what's out there. When you don't know anything else about a journal, the fact that it calls itself peer reviewed cannot, must not, be allowed to carry any weight.
One source that a lot of laypeople are turning to these days is Wikipedia. What about Wikipedia? It's new and it's a very different animal from anything previously available, and is something of a paradigm shift. Wikipedia is not perfect, but it is generally very good. Its principle weakness, so often pointed out by critics, is also its principle strength. Critics of Wikipedia love to charge that any old Joe Blow can go in there and edit any article to say whatever the heck he wants. And this is true, to a point; but they do have multiple layers of redundant checks and balances in place. Every topic has editors, and every edit eventually makes it past several sets of eyeballs. Every article is read by untold zillions of eyeballs, and tempered with suggested edits by many of them. Most of these suggestions are good, and some of them are bad. The volunteer editors include some of the foremost authorities on the subject, and they include crank nitwits, and everyone in between. Wikipedia has tens of thousands of regular editors, over a thousand administrators who enforce the behavior of those editors (eventually weeding out the crank nitwits), and even a judicial committee which resolves any disputes that are not otherwise handled by the process. The underlying software provides a powerful nerve center from which the editors and administrators can track history and changes. This open source process leads to an inevitable effect: Many Wikipedia articles end up being the closest thing to an authoritative consensus that we have on a given subject. Each article continually improves over time until it becomes what Wikipedia describes as the "ideal" article: "balanced, neutral and encyclopedic, containing notable, verifiable knowledge."
When Wikipedia was first conceived, it was a brand new idea that had never been tried on such a scale. No doubt, it had plenty of growing pains. But they've had years to improve the system. They've been dragged through the media more than once over high-profile errors resulting from vandalism, and every day since inception, they've worked to address those loopholes. The process still isn't perfect, but it's one of the most amazing compendiums in human history.
So, I'm going to give our listener a simple answer to his simple question. Start with Wikipedia, or any other encyclopedic resource with a good reputation like Britannica or MSN's Encarta. Nearly always, good articles will include links to additional references (especially in Wikipedia), but these links are of tremendously varying quality. Be careful of their external links, and carefully note why each external reference is being cited. Good articles will often include a section on criticism or skepticism of the subject. Read it.
Note that I'm no doubt going to be criticized for pointing laypeople toward Wikipedia as a starting point for research, mainly due to the usual criticisms of Wikipedia. But, as I said before, Wikipedia's weakness is also its strength, and I do stand by this recommendation, especially for laypeople of a given subject who don't otherwise have the experience to choose a good starting point.
What about identifying which scientific journals are reliable? Since we're not all scientists in the chosen field with the education and experience to know which are the most reputable publications in our field, we need some kind of list. But, as we've discussed, lists are bad things when they come from a source with an agenda. So we turn again to our source with no agenda, Wikipedia. Search Wikipedia for "List of Scientific Journals" and you'll find that they have a page listing a few hundred reputable journals in most scientific fields. Generally, this is an excellent list. The fact that it comes from Wikipedia, and is constantly being revised for objectivity and quality by experts in each field, is its strongest recommendation. Some fields are not listed, and most subsections are partial. You can drill down to find more. But beware: the further you drill down, the broader the quality control becomes, and the more journals of lower repute are included, and more non-scientific fields are listed. If you use this list to gauge the reliability of a source that you see referenced, you are in as good of hands as are available to the inexperienced journeyman; but you must use the list wisely. Stay at the top level, or as close to it as you can. With each click that you drill down, reputation for the listed journals is generally lower.
Again, this recommendation will no doubt be criticized, and the criticism is generally valid. But I maintain that for the average guy off the street, this is the best way to gain a "good enough" grasp of a journal's quality, and to find good research that truly represents the current scientific consensus.

wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It isnt a journal.
Encyclopedias are not the basis for opinion. They are great to get a short term view.
I note errors in wiki quite a lot. It has a lot of view point rather than dispassionate discussion. It likes to present a "balanced" argument. Balanced argument is not real data.
I also agree that Wikipedia is a great source of information, and the closest thing we can get to consensus. Read it with skepticism, but it's more right than the average webiste or "peer-reviewed journal" article.
Thank you for giving a thumbs up to Wikipedia Brian.
Just want to mention that Wikipedia even with all its flaws is where most of the world is going for its information. If the site isn't correct, then correct it. My blog Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia is a "call to editing" for skeptics to improve Wiki. http://guerrillaskepticismonwikipedia.blogspot.com/
Just remember guys..history and belief is consensus..
Science isnt..nor is real philosophy..
Sadly, what you guys think is science and philosophy is managed by the consensus in wiki.
I am sure that veracity, traceability, measurability, proposition and finally theory is missed in 90% of wiki.
Is it a great encyclopedia? YOU BET IT IS!!!
nobody has done any degree using an encyclopedia...ok diviniy degrees and alt mod...but frankly, they dont count and never have been proactive!
Wikipedia is simply a good place to start, as Brian says, not the end source of all knowledge. I use it to develop an understanding of the right words to use to correctly research the subject in question.
I would like to point out that wikipedia is as correct as "phone a friend" and "ask the audience" combined into one.
I'd like to highlight that for those who have common rense and forget that when reading an article headed "conspiracy" an encyclopedia is dealing with a "conspiracy" posit.
If Brian got a dollar for every time he deals with a subject in a skeptoid and the same is foisetd back at him from...the wiki posts, he would be at least 100 dollars richer.
It all goes to show that some people arent here for the weeks skeptoid podcast.
i like alot of the initial points in this article. i also agree with the conclusion that wiki is one of the most accurate sources of information since it is based on global consensus. that seems to me to be a far purer source than special interest 'studies' we read... or any education designed to breed conformity and soften the truths. but you already explained all that. anyway, i agree... it always frustrates me when teachers want us to use 'reputable' sources for our papers.... as more and more hypocrisy and conspiracy unwinds through the internet, the validity of just about everything seems in conjecture. interesting times we live in... perhaps we will see the downfall of democracy as the fallacies and corruption behind capitalism are slowly exposed. there probably wont be anything better, but its getting to a point where we wont survive capitalism anymore. just look at the growing mass scale food intolerance being designed by the monopoly of monsanto. the chairman for the safety of 'gmos' is even an ex monsanto employee. world is ruined. needs to end. needs to get fixed and megacorps need to pay for atrocities against humanity.
Its hard not to be flippant and be labelled cynical when the irony of the above sinks in..
"Blame it on the boogie" I have always maintained. OK I was in britches until I was thirty according to some here.
Don't know how good this is, but I found where Australia ranked 20,000 journals. http://goo.gl/0Xiul
The Royal Society motto should be in here. It roughly translates as "Take nobody's word for it". It is brief and basically all you need to say.
Wikipedia itself has some very balanced findings on one of its pages, which have evidence going both ways. Its unreliability seems to be word-of-mouth, and I think that a large portion of vandalism on Wikipedia is done purely to demonstrate that you can.
Make a comment about this episode of Skeptoid (please try to keep it brief & to the point).

Somatic is a software for solving arbitrary polyomino and polycube puzzles, like the soma puzzle. The soma puzzle is made from a set of 7 pieces, each build from 3 or 4 small cubes. With these pieces one can build a bigger cube made of 3x3x3=27 of the smaller cubes and a lot of other figures.
For an arbitrary set of pieces and a figure with not more than 64 cubes Somatic can check whether this figure can be build using these pieces and return one or more solutions. It does also solve split figures which are not connected and partial figures, which do not need all pieces to be build. Piece sets that can be solved include the soma cube, the somaplus set, the doublesoma set, the bedlam cube and the pentomino set. Other sets may be specified through an input file. Figures and solutions can be saved and read from a file again later. The GUI can be used to interactively create figures, solve them and view the solutions. The piece set currently in use can also be displayed.
Stefan -Happe- Habelski wrote the OpenGL code and created the nice editing and input functionality. Heiko -brotMachine- Seim implemented the GUI and rendered the nifty icons. Somatic is released under the GPL, which allows you to modify and redistribute it under certain conditions.
DownloadPlease keep in mind that despite some version numbers in the distribution I consider most of Somatic alpha software. Here are the latest snapshots, updated whenever there is something to update.

- The bedlam cube and other puzzles. Due to its size the bedlam cube is a pretty difficult puzzle and you can purchase solutions from the creators. Download Somatic and get all solutions for free.

I have a video file that I think i downloaded by mistake on my computer. when i try to delete it it doesn't do anything. no error message saying that it's in use or any reason that it won't delete. i've run virus scans and it hasn't come up. I can't move the file to other folders or the recyling bin. again, no error messages...it just doesn't move. any suggestions?
maybe you can delete the video file in the safe mode condition? just have a try..
Go to Jotti's and upload the file in question.If it comes back malware free, you might have to look at changing folder permissions which alot of members in the Windows section could help you with.
deleting in safe mode didn't work either...same problem.
I went to Jotti's page and I couldn't check the file. when i selected the file I got an error message which contained the filename and then "the above filename is invalid"
oh, and it's a .mpg file if that means anything to anyone
Try MoveonBoot It allows you to Move, Copy or Delete files before Windows can lock or alter the files.
Make a new folder, put the file in it and see if you can delete the folder.
unlocker for deleting files and folders
might work for you
Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks
i tried the moveonboot and the file wouldn't open in the box. it gave me a filename invalid message.
and i can't use unlocker because when i right click on the file it isn't an option. when i right click i see: "play, add to now playlist, add to playlist..., add to sync list, add to burn list, open with, send to" but it won't actually send it anywhere if i choose that option.
and i can't move the file anywhere else, not even to another folder
Delete Doctor for easy removal
If the others didn't work...this may....good luck
Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks
Silly question maybe but as you don't say, can we assume this is Windows XP? It's just that there are other ways forward with older systems.
You know, I wonder about that at times too...if people don't know their OS or any particulars on their PC, how are they thinking of fixing problems? DUH???
Beats me....it's not that it doesn't say to post all the vital info of the machine with problems when one is posting.,
Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks
I tried delete doctor and got the message: "the above filename is invalid"
yes, I am running windows XP :) this laptop is only about 6 months old.
Set the system to show all files and extensions, then let us know the full name of the file. Maybe that will tell us something.
I had this same problem. What finally worked for me was moving everything out of the folder into a new one and then just deleting the folder. It's a pain, but it works.
Yes that sometimes works but the poster did say:
"I can't move the file to other folders"

About Dennis Stewart
When you live in places where urban sprawl abounds all around, immersing yourself into nature can be a daunting challenge to say the least. As a kid growing up in the inner city, I can vividly remember spending hours upon end exploring my backyard with the same excitement, curiosity and wonderment as Lewis and Clark must have had traversing the great western expanses of the United Stated in the early 19th century.
My backyard was my refuge; it was a place where I found solace and discovered all of the tiny miracles of nature set before me. It introduced to me to life, death and the rebirth of which emerges as winter gives way to spring each year. I can honestly say that my infatuation toward nature started at a very early age, and has never once abated over the many years and distances I have since traveled.
As an wildlife photographer, working a full time job, raising a family and simply paying the bills each month, the idea of heading to the local airport to journey to far away destinations each weekend is but a lofty dream at best, but still; I have been blessed to have visited many enchanted places nonetheless.
I have come to realize that my love of wildlife is not confined to the great savannas of Africa, nor the steaming jungles of the Amazon. Nature as it may is all around us. It resides in our very backyard; it resides across the street in the park where your kids play; it resides downtown where years ago they planted mighty Sycamore trees, now fully grown and adorned with countless sparrows raising their newborn hatchlings. I have been fortunate enough to have taken many a great wildlife pictures in all of these type hidden sanctuaries, and continually strive to keep my senses on high alert and camera at the ready, for when that next moment reveals itself before me.
Traveling along a congested highway, I will not hesitate to pull over to get a shot of a red-tailed hawk posed stolidly atop a fence post, seemingly out of place, but amazingly adjusted to the surroundings to which he now dwells. The interminable patience of a Praying Mantis awaiting his next quarry still captivates me as much today as it did so many years ago, and I suspect it always will. To some, I may seem odd and out of place in relation to this apparent new world order we live in today, hence I readily admit to the fact of one being from another era. A long-ago time where men were men and readily went out into the abyss fraught only with the exhilaration of what new discoveries they would encounter on their never ending journeys. Yes, I am one who walks along a different path��but would have it no other way.

The plan called for a vote by secret ballot, but UH regents were candid about who they supported for president and why.
David Lassner will serve as UH president continuously under a deal with no specific end date.
Regents seemed to be cautious about the relationship being negotiated, reluctant to call it "at will."
Chaiman John Holzman simply asked the public to look at the president's agenda – goals he believes are achievable in five years time.
It is a nod to contracts with other presidents gone bad, with payouts that this board wants to avoid.
"If you look at how we are structuring this contract, it is more to do with the past than it does with the future. We are trying to avoid that,"Holzman said.
"I want to make clear is there is a lot of work to do. We are fully confident President Lassner will do it. We expect him to do it. We will be evaluating him annually,"
But the vote didn't come without a call by two regents to delay the process and put off a vote.
Ben Kudo and Jeff Portnoy felt they couldn't support the process and obstained from voting.
"One of the reasons why I am not in favor of a contract is not that either gentlemen cannot do the job. It is that I don't think either had an opportunity to develop a track record," said new regent Jeff Portnoy. "One has never led a university and one has only served as an interim,"
But that motion failed.
Two members, Coralie Matayoshi and Tom Shigemoto supported General Frank Wiercinski and even a former mayor came out to support the general noting his expertise with diplomacy and politics is notable.
"If you think Frank Wiercinski is going to come in here and make everybody jump around and give a salute, you do not know the man, at all." said Peter Carlisle.
But 11 of the regents felt Lassner was the right choice for stability for the University of Hawaii.
Neither Lassner or Wiercinski was on hand for today's meeting.
Both issued statements.
Lassner said "I am humbled and honored by the trust being placed in me by the board of regents,"
Wiercinski issued a statement congratulating Lassner.
" I would like to particularly thank those who nominated me for this position, asked me to serve and further acknowledge their support and confidence in my leadership abilities," said Wiercinski.

Day - Two:
We've got a few coaches in the gym. Jeff & Brad are the main coaches.
Jeff had us run 10-12 laps as a prelude to the conditioning.
I managed 10 in the time we had.
After this the 100 crunches & pushups again. I believe I hit 70-75 pushups out of 100 due to failure. On the last set of crunches I cranked out 2 for every one they did so I got in 150 of them tonight. I may end up trying to do 2 or 3 for every crunch the team does.
After the crunch & pushup circuit we had a large circuit drill:
30-second bursts @
Forward jumps over a line & side to side 10 jumps then switch.
jump rope
Medicine ball twists to pass to partner behind you.
Squat jumps
one-pound one-two combos
ducking (for lack of better terms)
one hand medicine ball pushups
we did 3x5 minute rounds of this
after this we did 3 rounds of 5 minute work on pads or bag, tonight I worked with a new kid (I'm new as well) on pads.
I strung some nice combos together. I noticed the partner was dropping his right hand so I told him "if you continue dropping the hand I'll hit ya" so when he did I threw a left hook with the mitt. It was a good thing for me and him.
After the mitt work we went outside for tire work.
We did 30 sledgehammer strikes per arm into a large tire. I heard Brad my personal coach commenting "he's got one of the heaviest strikes here tonight!" I was dragging that damn tire backwards with my blows!
After this I was told to do 20 double jumps, we would jump into the tire's center then jump out then run back to the start point. I was able to do 10 of these before I bent over wheezing like a coward.
After this was done we ran 5 blocks down and back to the gym.
Throughout life there are bumps along the way some may be painful...others not...who gives a damn in the end you'll still die

Watch: The Return- a short film starring Geraldine Chaplin as Coco Chanel
I hope your holidays were full of joy and laughter, and above all, a chance to relax and exhale, if only for a few days, before the daily grind starts again in the new year. Over here at Marthafied HQ it has been very peaceful and a great opportunity to catch up with friends and much missed sleep. The lead up to Christmas is always especially hectic. Added to that was a cold I had coming on for weeks, which then decided to hit me with full force only a few days before the festivities, so yes, much chocolate has been needed to nurse myself back to health.
Now that we are in between parties, with New Year's being only a few days away, I thought I would share with you a short film I watched for the first time about a month ago. You may remember I wrote about the Chanel Métiers d'Art show a few weeks back, which took place in Dallas, Texas. Before the runway show, guests were treated to a brand new short film directed by Chanel's head designer and Creative Director Karl Lagerfeld called The Return. Geraldine Chaplin stars as Coco Chanel in her twilight years, the years leading up to her big return after the French had written her off as a relic of the past and the Americans stepped in to embrace her as the icon she was and the legend she was to become.
Geraldine Chaplin as Coco Chanel is simply marvellous. At one point Karl Lagerfeld instructed her to act Coco as "a bitch", as that apparently what she was a lot of the time. To which, Geraldine answered, she had absolutely no problem to do. But she embodies the creative spirit of a genius, with deft hands and a dangling cigarette, so eloquently, it is not bitchiness for attitude's sake. It is great talent mixed with insecurity with bark being worse than its bite.
So, if you have 25 minutes, grab a cup of coffee and watch The Return. Rupert Everett makes a lovely appearance as a reporter interviewing Coco. If they'll ever make a big screen film about Coco Chanel again, I am sure Geraldine Chaplin must be in the running for the role. I could even see Academy Awards in the horizon for her. She simply is that good in the role.
The Secret Life of Coco Chanel
Short film "Once Upon A Time" by Karl Lagerfeld, starring Keira Knightley
