After hearing that Jill Abramson was named editor of The New York Times, columnist Gail Collins couldn't help but think about how much has changed since the early 1970s, when female journalists were still widely discriminated against at the Times.
In an email interview, Collins — who was the Times' first female editorial page editor and has written two books about women in American society — referred to Nan Robertson's "The Girls in the Balcony," which describes this discrimination. She also spoke about why Abramson's appointment is so significant:
"I was very happy but not surprised since Jill was such a logical choice.
The other day I had a chance to reread Nan's description of the balcony at the National Press Club where women reporters were — as a great gesture of tolerance by the men — allowed to stand huddled together if they wanted to cover newsmakers' appearances there. While the male reporters and their friends/doctors/insurance agents/golf partners sat and ate lunch, the women stood up there, straining to hear what was being said.
This went on until the 1970s, and it just knocks me out to think that I got to watch my profession go from there to here.
In her talk [to the newsroom this afternoon], Jill thanked Janet Robinson, who's head of the Times corporation and a wonderful role model and friend to us all.
In this one great paper, maybe we've reached the ultimate goal of the entire women's movement, which is to make it utterly normal for women to be everywhere, including the top."

Enterprise Content Grows -- As Does the Need to Manage It
Data here, data there, data, data, everywhere. That phrase describes many companies' information systems. Information is housed in databases, documents, forms, images and Web content. Recently, the government instituted new laws that transformed information management and records retention into top executive concerns. These changes have been a good fit with enterprise content management (ECM) systems, which consolidate data collection and provide companies with tools, so they can manage information more effectively.
Because of the potential benefits, these products have garnered the interest of many of the industry's leading suppliers, such as EMC, HP, IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle. "It may not seem like it, but there are a few dozen companies selling ECM systems," says Alan Pelz-Sharpe, a principal at CMS Watch. Open Text has made this market its focal point, and ECM suppliers such as Alfresco, Digitech Systems, Hyland Software, SpringCM, and Xythos Software are taking different approaches to grow their customer bases.
ECMs are popular because they can break down the barriers evident among various content types, so enterprises can manage their data with one product rather than several. The systems have the potential to reduce IT costs, ensure data consistency, speed up application development and enable companies to use corporate resources more efficiently.
Once information is stored in a central repository, corporations can develop new business processes that streamline information flow. That's because ECMs include workflow functions, so data can move in an efficient manner. If information, such a payroll form is entered, it can automatically be routed to the appropriate individuals for approval, so processes that took multiple steps and a lot of time to complete are finished more effectively.
While ECMs are gaining a lot of attention, they are not a panacea. Many of the products work with only specific types of information. Initially, these systems were designed to automate the collection and management of paper documents. Since then, many new data types have arisen. As a result, vendors have found that content management has been a moving target with numerous new requirements emerging. Email has been an area of growth, and companies also have to monitor other various collaboration vehicles, such as instant messaging and Voice over IP calls. Web content has been area of growth, so products need to work with items, such as Flash and video.

Struts character encoding

Hi All,
I'm using
1.1 as part of my web application, but I've hit some major character encoding issues! Why does struts automatically encode all of the strings placed directly into a given form bean as ISO-8859-1?
I've set all my JSPs to UTF-8 encoding, but the � symbol still renders incorrectly as �� if I look at the contents of my form bean. I can get out of this by doing the following
String marinaTitleI = marina_page.getmarina_title(); String marinaTitleC = new String(marinaTitleI.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8"); marina_page.setmarina_title(marinaTitleC);
but this is a pain to do for all strings. I guess I could put a method to do this conversion in all of my entity beans, but this issue seems so fundamental that I feel I'm missing something.
Is this normal behaviour for struts, or is there a setting I require?
My reason for using UTF-8 encoding is that the � symbol seems to be rendered incorrectly by my JSPs (be it dynamic content or hard coded in the page) as �� when I use ISO-8859-1.
Any suggestions as to either solve the struts conversion problem, or how to render � correctly with ISO-8859-1 would be much appreciated.

Yah i agree that encoding is a big pain..............but i will tellu one way is u just want to display them in jsps correctly u can use
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=urencoding what u need">
u need to place this in all the jsps whereever u need to dipslya that characters.........this will force the browsers endoing to the encoding u need.................
but i will tell if u want to read some files from the file systemw hich are stored with diff language then u need to go for encoing using jaba.lang.string ......and encode it to whatever u need
Help onencoding is very less if u get something u tell me i struggled like anything for this

Hi All,
I believe the issue I was experiencing was that all strings passed back to the server were assumed to be in ISO format, despite the page encoding being set to utf-8. As I now understand it, many browsers do not correctly support passing the encoding type of a response back to the server.
After much messing about with request/response setContentType(), <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8" %> and modifying the Struts-config file I was having very little success until I found that there is an encoding filter included in
5 (\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19\webapps\servlets-examples\WEB-INF\classes\filters\SetCharacterEncodingFilter.java).
Implementing this has solved all my issues and everything seems to be carried as utf-8 now. Seeing as this corrected my issue, I assume the root cause was that the contentType of the request object was not being set correctly at some point in the application.
I've attached a few useful links below on the subject of encoding. Any comments on my fix or a definite cause of my issue would be appreciated.

Trying to decide between the Oakley Half Jacket XLJ and the Rudy Project Rydon.
Both seem to have pro's and con's, but without actually having any store that sells both, it is very hard to compare. These will be used in the daytime, on the road.
Rudy Project Pro's...
The Oakley hinges seem downright cheap and flimsy(press fit vs. screws top and bottom)
The Oakley has non adjustable nosepiece vs. fully adjustable.
The Oakley has non adjustable earpiece vs. FULLY adjustable.(you can bend them in a knot if you wanted to)
Better ventilation from fogging on the Rudy.
Warranty appears to be 3 years on frames with a $14.95 fee for lens replacement if scratched vs. no real implied warranty for the Oakleys.
Rudy Project Con's....
Higher priced ($125 vs. $100 non polarized versions)
MUCH harder to find in a store (basically just in exclusive bike stores)
Somewhat unknown company other than in the bicycle world.
MUCH harder to find replacement lenses in different colors from let's say Ebay.
Can't speak as to optics clarity, because I haven't tried them together, but everyone say's Oakley's have the best clarity out there.(they do seem very clear) True or not?
Anyone have any REAL WORLD experience with the Rudy's?

text: 44 Slain While Praying in Nigeria Mass shooting at mosque by suspected Islamic militants By Newser Editors and Wire Services Posted Aug 12, 2013 3:31 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (15) (Newser) – Suspected Islamic militants wearing army fatigues gunned down 44 people praying at a mosque in northeast Nigeria, while another 12 civilians died in an apparently simultaneous attack nearby, security agents said today. The attacks were the latest in a slew of violence blamed on religious extremists in this West African oil producer, where the radical Boko Haram group, which wants to oust the government and impose Islamic law, poses the greatest security threat in years. It was not immediately clear why this particular mosque—located in Konduga town, some 22 miles outside Maiduguri, the capital of Nigeria's Borno state—was targeted, but Boko Haram has in the past attacked mosques whose clerics have spoken out against religious extremism. The group also has attacked Christians outside churches and teachers and schoolchildren, as well as government and military targets. The news came as journalists received a video featuring Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau, who gloats over recent attacks, threatens more, and even says his group is now strong enough to go after the United States.

|Hanok Stay: Gateway to Traditional Living
Hanok, a Korean traditional house, embodies many indigenous architectural designs and techniques. The maru (main section) floor of the living room space lets in refreshing breezes in summer, while ondol (floor heating system) keeps thehouse warm in winter. As its frames are made of wood and clay, and plastered with hanji (traditional handmade paper), hanok is not only environment-friendly, but also capable of automatically controlling temperature, humidity and lighting.
Worindang, Yeongam
Yeongam, the venue for the F1 Korean Grand Prix, is a city of wide open plains and beautiful beaches. It is also home to Worindang (월인당), a hanok minbak (inn).
Seongyojang House, Gangneung
Seongyojang House is an old hanok in Gangneung, which is well known for its Gyeongpo and Jeongdongjin Beaches, as well as well-preserved heritage sites. Outside the house are trees that are hundreds of years old, a large red lotus pond, and a pavilion overlooking Gyeongpoho Lake and East Sea. Inside, the original architectural designs remain, while the kitchen, shower room and restrooms have been renovated for the convenience of the guests.
Farm Cottage, Gapyeong
Farm Cottage is an old hanok compound located near Cheongpyeongho Lake and Ihwawon Garden in Gapyeong. Two buildings, Seongchunje and Cheollije, feature a total of ten traditional hanok rooms. The morning sight of mist rising above the tiles of the cottage buildings is not to be missed at this beautiful, old hanok.
Ogyeonjeongsa House, Andong
Built more than 430 years ago, Ogyeonjeongsa House stands between Andong Hahoe Village, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, and Buyongdae Cliff, which offers a magnificent view of Nakdongang River. In addition to comfortable lodging, the historic hanok offers various hands-on experience programs including traditional games and hanji craft. Moreover, the famous Hahoe Village and Byeongsanseowon Confucian School located nearby provide more special opportunities to immerse in traditional culture and beautiful nature.
Hagindang, Jeonju
Built in 1908, Hagindang House is the oldest hanok and the only private residence designated as a cultural asset in Jeonju Hanok Village, a Slow City site. The Hagindang was also the first venue to host a performance in Jeonju, thanks to its features of ancient royal architecture such as ceilings that reach the height of two floors and walls that can be propped open to allow more space. Nearby cultural attractions include Gyeonggijeon, Jeonjuhyanggyo Confucian School, and Nambu Market.
Gyeongju Hanok Program
Gyeongju Hanok Program offers a special opportunity to explore and stay at one of the ancient hanok-style academies: Woramjae, Seoakseowon, Jongojeong and Dongnakdang. It has been reported that history is very rich and alive in Gyeongju, the ancient capital city of Silla Dynasty, that sounds of ancient scholars can still be heard from the yard of the academies. All hanoks have ondol rooms, and offer easy access to Bulguksa Temple, Seokguram Grotto and the Royal Tomb of King Taejonmuyeol.

SHAWNEE, Kan. (AP) _ Police in suburban Kansas City are trying to find a group of teenagers they believe videotaped themselves breaking into a facility and committing other vandalism and then posted the videos on the Internet.
Capt. Ron Copeland of the Shawnee police department said the teenagers were videotaped setting off a large firecracker attached to an aerosol can and breaking into a skateboard facility in Lawrence.
Copeland said "Some of these moron-skateboard types had done some things and recorded it on video and posted it on the YouTube Web site.''
Copeland said the crimes were "mainly vandalism,'' and that none of the teens had been identified. No arrests had been made early Wednesday, he said.
He said an officer had been checking YouTube as part of an investigation, but did not know what led him to the Web site.

Nokia rolls out 6600 fold, 3600 and 6600 slide
updated 08:20 am EDT, Mon April 28, 2008
Nokia 6600 and 3600
Nokia this morning stepped out of its routine to launch three new minimalist cellphones that target the new mid-range. The 6600 fold has some of the company's most advanced displays and centers around a hidden screen on the outer shell: while the surface appears blank, double-tapping the shell lets users check for the time or missed calls. Inside is one of Nokia's first OLEDs which provides a full 16 million color palette. Like the 3555 and 6555, the clamshell creates a seamless back which is reportedly more comfortable than on traditional flip phones.
The 6600 fold is also a relatively advanced media phone despite its size and comes with a 2-megapixel camera and dual-LED flash, AAC/MP3/WMA and H.264/MPEG-4 playback, and a microSD slot pre-supplied with a 512MB card. The phone will sell for 275 Euros ($431) in the summer and supports both US calling and UMTS on the 850MHz band, suggesting a release in the Americas.
Two sliders also join the lineup. While the 6600 slide uses a traditional LCD, it still responds to a double-tap for basic info. The thicker, aluminum and steel frame lets Nokia use a sharper 3.2-megapixel camera. Other features are virtually identical for the device, which supplies both 850MHz calling and WCDMA data and will sell for a slightly lower 250 Euros ($391) in the summer timeframe.
The 3600 slide provides a somewhat simpler design but shares the same 3.2-megapixel camera and adds Nokia's first background noise cancellation techniques to improve calls in loud environments. The Finnish designer also equips the 3600 slide with a TV-out jack and prices it the lowest of the three new models at 175 Euros ($274).
Nokia has also launched the BH-803, a matching Bluetooth headset that shares the steel design.

Lewis: McLaren just not quick enoughComment on this story
On a day when the sun finally shone over Silverstone, McLaren left under a cloud. The circuit should have played to the aerodynamic strength of their updated car, but they suffered a huge disappointment on Sunday as Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button could finish only eighth and 10th.
Hamilton was competitive early on, running the medium-compound Pirelli tyre, and even retook the lead from Fernando Alonso that he had inherited when the Spaniard made his first pit stop. But that was as close as McLaren got to glory, and it soon faded.
"We are a long way away," Hamilton admitted, when comparing his McLaren with Mark Webber's winning Red Bull and Alonso's Ferrari. "We are still in the fight, but unless we find a lot of time, it's going to be hard to stay in it."
Button started 16th after lacking grip in qualifying, and struggled throughout.
"It's not just the Red Bulls and the Ferraris that are quicker than us, a lot of cars are," he said. "Our car doesn't feel too bad, but everybody else's must feel really good because they're a lot faster than us. I was racing the Williams and the Sauber, and you see areas where they're able to put the car or make mistakes and get away with it. I don't understand how they're able to do that.
"The Sauber is quicker in high-speed corners than us, the Williams is quicker in low-speed corners. It's tricky. We don't seem to be exceptionally strong anywhere at the moment, and we thought we would be here. It's a high-speed circuit and we thought that was one of our strengths."
Hamilton echoed his team mate's sentiments.
"My car actually felt awesome, but it just wasn't quick," he said.
Part of his problem was a disparity in performance between his first and final sets of tyres.
"Today we were very, very slow in the low-speed corners and Michael Schumacher came past me near the end and he was really quick in the high-speeds," he said.
Hamilton, who held the lead in the World Championship after his victory in Canada, is now fourth with 92 points to Alonso's 129. Button, winner of the opening race, is only eighth with 50.
McLaren, meanwhile, slumped from second in the constructors' stakes to fourth, separated from Red Bull by Ferrari and Lotus.
Team principal, Martin Whitmarsh said: "Lewis' first stint was very impressive on the first medium tyre. It went a long way and he had good pace. We then switched to the soft tyre, which he was fine on, but we sensed that it was prone to graining.
"We then stopped too soon on that, because we were covering Grosjean. It would have been OK if the second set of mediums had been as good as the first, but as soon as Lewis put them on he was not as comfortable. It was therefore a long third stint."
Whitmarsh said that he did not believe that McLaren had got it dramatically wrong, but admitted that it would have been better to run longer on the soft tyre in the middle stint.
"Overall, we weren't good enough, is the summary."
"There weren't enough incidents for us to capitalise on. It's been one of those weekends. We had lots of stuff on the car but couldn't run it properly on Friday because of the weather.
"We have a decent, more visible upgrade package for Germany and we've got to make sure we deliver that and make it stick. We've got to develop the car, make sure we use the tyres better.
"I'm disappointed but I'm not desperate yet. It's a long season and we're a strong team. This race was only a twentieth of it and no race is more important than another."
One positive was that McLaren's pit stops were flawless and among the fastest.
But it remains to be seen how the overall disappointment influences Hamilton's decision about his future.
"I think he's smarter than that," Whitmarsh said. "My pitch is he's got to want to be in this team, which I believe he does. He knows that racing is highs and lows and this hasn't been one of the high weekends."
A year ago McLaren were reeling here after Button's car lost a wheel and a mistake on fuel settings obliged Hamilton to reduce his pace. They responded by winning the next time out, in Germany. Now the pressure is greater than ever for them to do something similar at Hockenheim in two weeks' time.
Whitmarsh said: "Four weeks ago it was different and in two weeks' time it could be different again. We're disciplined enough and battle-hardened enough these days. You've got to take stock and learn from these weekends. Sometimes you can learn more than you do from the successful weekends." - The Independent

I noticed a lot of threads where recent UL converts are looking for a way to save money while making major upgrades on things that fall into the "Big 3" Categories of Tent, Pack, and Sleeping Bag. In particular, people have been asking about sales on Western Mountaineering Sleeping Bags.Long-term "Geer Junkies" know that opportunities for such discounts on things like this are few and far between. Usually, you have to end up in the right brick and mortar store at the right time, due to manufacturers like Western Mountaineering pulling distribution licenses from online dealers that run online sales on their stuff.For anyone who would lie to make such a purchase on such Gear at 20% off:On the EMS web site. You can get 20% on any one item for joining their email club. Discount works on everything on the site. Even on Western Mountaineering stuff, etc. This is unusual, as most sites exclude the top names from their discounts. Especially the larger discounts like 20% on up. (No I don't work for EMS or any other brand for that matter) I just stumbled on this by accident while making my rounds on the web looking for deals on my wish list.This is about the best deal I have found on a Western Mountaineering Bag (New anyways) and I used it to add another bag to my collection (Got an Alpinlite for $388)Remember though, it can only be used one time, on one item. So, as Yoda would say: "Choose wisely my young pada-wan".As a bonus, you will also get club points that translate to discounts on future purchases from them. Nice way to save almost $100 on a great bag and a little more on something else later on.OH YEAH: and free shipping on anything over $48. So they don't get you there either.
Edited by H2Oboy on 05/23/2013 18:38:50 MDT.
Dont forget that free shipping, and points offered by some retailers amount effectively to a nice discount. Use rebate thru MrRebates or other sites as well for more. You just may need to wait until you have enough points to benefit, or choose gear from a limited list that can be bought with points.
Sorry all. It was a limited time thing for the Holiday I guess. I checked their site and it is no longer there."Early Bird Gets the Worm" thing I guess. To those of us that got in on it... Woot! Sorry to those of you that missed out.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Brad Pitt and Steven Soderbergh's baseball tale "Moneyball" has been benched just days before the start of
Sony pulled the plug late last week after Soderbergh turned in a rewritten script substantially different than an earlier draft by screenwriter Steven Zaillian (ZAY'-lee-uhn). That's according to a source close to the production who spoke on condition of anonymity
because he was not authorized to speak on the record.
The source says Sony gave Soderbergh the opportunity to set the
project up at a different studio.
Soderbergh's manager declined to comment.
Production had been scheduled to start this week. The script is based on Michael Lewis' book "Moneyball," about Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane.

Wall Street ends slightly lowerComment on this story
New York - US stocks dipped in thin volume on Tuesday, with the Dow and the S&P 500 retreating from Monday's record closing levels as traders found few reasons to buy following a string of gains. A rise in semiconductor companies' shares limited losses.
About half of the 10 primary S&P 500 sector indexes were down for the day, led by telecom, which fell 1 percent.
Monday marked the Dow's second straight record closing high, while it was the third consecutive record close for the S&P 500. However, recent advances were made on light volume, indicating that the rally has lacked conviction.
On Tuesday, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 21.29 points or 0.13 percent, to end at 16,722.34. The S&P 500 inched down just 0.73 of a point or 0.04 percent, to 1,924.24. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 3.12 points or 0.07 percent, to 4,234.08.
Google Inc shares fell 1.7 percent to $544.51, weighing on the Nasdaq.
The CBOE Volatility Index rose for a second straight day, up 2.5 percent, though it remained under 12, well below the historical average of 20. While the level of the VIX indicates a lack of fear in the market, some investors are concerned that it also reflects a sense of complacency.
"We can't seem to get a decent pullback here as there isn't any momentum to the downside. Every time the market goes down, it is met with buying," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital in New York.
Semiconductor stocks ranked among the market's leaders, with the PHLX semiconductor index up 0.9 percent. The sector rallied after Skyworks Solutions Inc raised its earnings and revenue outlook, driving its stock up 6 percent to $45.65. Broadcom, up 3 percent at $35.88, also gave chipmakers a lift.
Automakers attracted attention after both General Motors and Ford Motor Company reported May sales that topped expectations. GM shares rose 1.1 percent to $35.26. Ford's stock gained 0.7 percent to $16.55.
Hillshire Brands shares rose 9.5 percent to $58.65 after poultry producer Pilgrim's Pride raised its offer to buy Hillshire, known for its Jimmy Dean sausages, and topped an offer from poultry rival Tyson Foods. Hillshire said it would talk with both parties.
Pilgrim's stock fell 2.2 percent to $25.34. Tyson dropped 3 percent to $42.08.
In the latest economic data, April factory orders rose 0.7 percent, topping forecasts.
Trading volume was light at around 5.1 billion shares on US exchanges, below last month's average of 5.75 billion, according to data from BATS Global Markets. - Reuters

Our hearts ache for the Deeds family. Tuesday morning Gus Deeds, 24, apparently shot and killed himself after stabbing his father, state Sen. Creigh Deeds, D-Millboro. Fortunately, the senators serious physical wounds will likely heal, but a long road of grief lies ahead for the whole family.
If Gus Deeds had suffered a heart attack, he would have been hospitalized without question. But his issue was mental illness. Reports yesterday pointed to those problems and uncertainty about psychiatric bed space available for him Monday.
Details remain murky, but it paints a disturbing picture of how the mental health care system works in Virginia. Whatever happened on Monday, the young man was home and not hospitalized on Tuesday.
Daily throughout this country, families desperately try help a mentally ill loved one. Too many stories end as this one did, in violence and death.
Especially now that tragedy has devastated one of their own, we hope the General Assembly makes improving the states mental health system a top priority in the next session. Emergency treatment for those who pose a threat to themselves and others must be easier to obtain. More psychiatric beds must be available.
We must care enough to get this right.
Bipartisan compassion for the Deeds family has been heartening. May it translate into bipartisan action. And may the Deeds family find comfort in continued support and respect from the entire community.

Bucharest,(Romanian:Bucureşti), Romania, the largest city and capital of the country. The city lies on both sides of the Dîmbovita River, about 30 miles (48 km) north of the Danube. Bucharest has many splendid buildings, beautiful parks, and wide boulevards. Some of the city's historic buildings, especially in the old city center, were demolished in the 1970's and 1980's to make room for government office buildings and apartments. Cultural institutions in the city include the Romanian History Museum, the University of Bucharest (founded in 1864), the State Philharmonic, and the Romanian Opera. The Church of the Patriarchate, built in the 17th century, is the seat of the spiritual leader of the Romanian Orthodox Church.
Bucharest is an important industrial center. Its products include machinery, metal goods, chemicals, and many consumer items. The city also has oil refineries and food-processing plants. With railways and highways radiating from its center, Bucharest is Romania's main transportation hub. The city also has an international airport.
Bucharest did not become prominent until the 15th century. During the 18th and 19th centuries it was captured and occupied by the Turks, Russians, and Austrians. In 1861 Bucharest became the capital of a united Romania. The Germans took the city in World Wars I and II, and the Soviets occupied it in 1944. The city was heavily damaged by an earthquake in 1977 and saw violent demonstrations when the Communist regime fell in 1989. Coal miners rioted in the city for three days in 1991, forcing a change in national government.
Population: 2,037,278.

The CAA's responsibilities relating to meteorology and the legislation that supports this work.
Article 86 of the Air Navigation Order requires the commander of an aircraft to take reasonable steps to satisfy himself before take-off that the flight can safely be made, taking into account the latest information available as to the route and aerodrome to be used, the weather reports and forecasts available and any alternative course of action which can be adopted in case the flight cannot be completed as planned.
The CAA's functions, as directed by the DfT in the CAA (Air Navigation) Directions 2001, shall be to develop, promulgate, monitor and enforce a policy for the sustainable use of UK airspace and for the provision of necessary supporting infrastructure for air navigation.
One of the particular responsibilities of the CAA shall be to discharge the responsibilities of the UK Meteorological Authority (i) in accordance with ICAO Annex III and other international obligations; and (ii) subject to international obligations, in such a manner as the CAA may determine from time to time.
Within ICAO terminology, the term Met Authority has a specific meaning, defined in Annex 3 as "providing or arranging for the provision of the MET Service for international air navigation on behalf of a Contracting State."
The CAA (Chicago Convention) Directions 2007 from DfT requires the CAA to ensure it acts consistently with the obligations placed on the UK under the Chicago Convention. In relation to each of the Specified ICAO Annexes, the DfT requires the CAA to consider whether it is necessary to amend UK legislation to ensure appropriate implementation of an ICAO provision.
Statutory Instrument (SI) 2004 No. 1958 instructs the CAA to discharge the responsibilities of the National Supervisory Authority under Single European Sky (SES), whilst Statutory Instrument 2006 No. 3104 gives the CAA competence to Designate Air Navigation Service Providers under the Single European Sky Service Provision Regulation.
A number of regulations apply under SES and EASA that relate to some or all of the provision of Met Services and which the Met Authority conducts regulatory oversight of:

|Enhancement of volatile thiol release of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains using molecular breeding.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23423325 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Cysteine-conjugated volatile thiols are powerful aromatic compounds that contribute to the fruity notes of many white wines and especially Sauvignon Blanc. Genetic selection programs of wine yeast starters able to produce more volatile thiols constitute, therefore, an important goal for the wine industry. Recent investigations on yeast metabolism suggested that the ß-lyase Irc7p and the control of its gene expression by nitrogen catabolite repression constitute a rational way for yeast genetic improvement. This work demonstrates that the use of a natural ure2 mutation can be used to design wine starters with an enhanced capacity of volatile thiols production. By applying backcrosses driven by molecular markers, this allelic form was introduced in different starter backgrounds. Our investigations demonstrate that the ure2 inheritance is able to enhance the production of 4MMP (recently renamed 4MSP) and 3MH (recently renamed 3SH). For 4MMP, this effect depends of the presence of the allele IRC7 ( LT ) encoding a long form of the Irc7 protein. Moreover, a correlation in between the expression level of this allelic form and 4MMP production was found within industrial starters. All together, these results emphasised the use of molecular breeding for improving quantitative traits of industrial strains without the use of genetically modifying strategies.

My Blackberry Isn't Working
January 3rd, 2011 by Karen
I'm not going to let this turn into a video blog, but in the last week I've had do deal with some changes to my situation, most relevantly I had to wipe my computer after several days of not working correctly.
It's just good to know that no matter how bad my problems with technology may get, I'll never be quite as badly off as this guy:
Though I've been tempted to boot my computer the same way.

Fergie has great taste. I mean, just look at her husband! She is edgy and stylish. That is why I love these heels.
I love these because they can be paired with just about anything. A sleek pencil skirt, cute shorts, a fun, bright cocktail dress… Plus, I love ankle straps. Let's face it. They make shoes more comfortable because your feet don't slide around. Fergie got this one right! You can find these at Zappos!

Engineering TV Careers
Page 2 of 2
Others use television to educate. MIT alumni, professors, and students have been instrumental in the development and production of PBS's Design Squad, which has won both Peabody and Emmy awards. On the show, teams of teenage contestants work for actual clients to design and build problem-solving products while competing for a $10,000 scholarship. For example, teams have built remote-controlled aquatic pet-rescue vehicles for the New Orleans Fire Department. Filmed near Boston, Design Squad is half entertainment, half engineering outreach to tweens and teens.
"[TV] can certainly offer exposure to the world of engineering in a much more visual and experiential way than you can get otherwise," says inventor and Design Squad host Nate Ball '05, SM '07–although it does have its demands. As host, Ball has to exhibit zaniness, enthusiasm, and practicality while working to motivate contestants during frustrating moments. Contestants, who are racing to complete the challenge in 16 hours, must sometimes wait to be filmed. "Whenever we were going on to the next step in the process, they'd have to get that on camera," says Zach Tribbett '12, a third-season contestant from West Chester, PA, who is majoring in math and brain and cognitive sciences. Then they would have to restage the shot from different angles–adding 10 to 60 minutes to a simple procedure.
Changing Technologies
Online and on-demand videos and DVRs have changed the television landscape, dispersing viewers and shrinking ad revenues. Lifetime's Wong has responded by reinvigorating the network's brand, which had become synonymous with women-in-peril movies, with a new programming line-up to attract a broader, younger audience. "It's important for us to reflect positive, strong women," she says. Wong has also expanded online, offering community pages, streaming content, and games, which now drive 40 percent of Lifetime's Web traffic.
Eliot Mack, SM '96, hopes the special-effects technology he developed will transform television, just as the alumni-invented Technicolor and Avid digital editing already have. His Previzion system allows real-time camera tracking, compositing, and background rendering so directors can see beyond a green screen to visualize how the final shot will look. Depending on the background's complexity, Previzion could reduce postproduction effects work by weeks or eliminate it entirely. Mack has refined his technology so that it automatically generates camera tracking data and doesn't miss a single strand of hair against the backdrop. "Essentially, we're re-creating the world on the fly," he says. So far, it has been used on the science fiction TV series V, the forthcoming Tim Burton movie Alice in Wonderland, and the Knight Rider made-for-TV movie.
One thing MIT alumni in Hollywood seem to share is a realistic perspective on the industry. "Being a Hollywood insider is fun, but it's also scary," Patterson says. "The nature of Hollywood is that you're only an insider for so long." Perhaps that is what makes a PBS show like Design Squad successful: television itself isn't the goal. "We want there to be a clear message at the end of the show," says host Ball. "Now turn off the TV and go build stuff."

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Our City Forest, San José, CA, USA
I volunteered with my neighbors to plant 7 trees at a school in my neighborhood. The OCF staff was very responsive and helpful in allowing us to volunteer in our own neighborhood. On the day of the tree-planting, the arborist was very informative and provided an in-depth demonstration. I worked with other volunteers to plant, stake and water the trees. I learned alot about urban forestry practices and look forward to volunteering with Our City Forest again in the future.

Heads up: Blue Angels jet arriving at Boeing Field tomorrowJanuary 3, 2012 at 10:11 am | In Blue Angels, West Seattle news | 7 Comments
A West Seattle fan of the Blue Angels just asked us the other day if one of the jets would be here again this year for the Seafair winter planning meetings – and indeed, word just arrived, Blue Angels jet #7 is expected around 1:15 tomorrow afternoon at Boeing Field, with an 11 am Thursday departure planned. Seafair says Blue Angels #7 Lieutenant Mark Tedrow and #8 Lieutenant Todd Royles will be on board. This year's airshow is set for August 3rd-5th. (Our coverage of last year's winter visit is here.)

Hi all. Just bought an 08 Focus Style 1.6. Anyone know how long the information display screen should stay illuminated for after locking the car? Mine seems to vary between 10 and 50 minutes, sometimes going out then coming back on again. Any clues as to what I can do to adjust this? Many thanks.

Apps are seen on the screen of an Apple iPhone 5s. The company is scrambling to fix a security defect that allows hackers to deploy a Man in the Middle Attack in which someone uses a fake certificate of authority to fool the device into believe it is interacting with a trusted host site. That allows the Man in the Middle to intercept all of the messages (including passwords) that go between a person's iPhone and a website, for example.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calid. - A security flaw could allow email and passwords to be intercepted from millions of Apple's iPhones.
The flaw allows hackers to intercept and change email messages and login credentials on multiple Apple products.
Apple released a patch Friday for the security problem. Most phones, iPods and iPads will update automatically and the security hole will be closed. ...

Josh Duhamel Denies Two-Timing Fergie With Stripper

This probably isn't what the inventor of the lie detector test had in mind. Josh Duhamel is vehemently denying accusations that he was unfaithful to wife Fergie with a stripper, who strapped herself to a polygraph in an attempt to validate her claim.
RELATED: Read a sample of Fergie's interview in Marie Claire
The story comes courtesy of the National Enquirer, which conducted an "investigation" into the actor's supposedly "wild fling with a buxom, blonde stripper" named Nicole Forrester, who performs under the moniker Delilah at a "totally nude" Atlanta club fittingly called Tattletales.
But a rep for Duhamel scoffs that the allegations are baseless.
"This is not the first nor will it be the last time that a stripper was paid a large amount of money to sell a false story about a celebrity," huffs the mouthpiece (via E! News). "This story is absolutely ridiculous."
Forrester contends that she met Josh, 36, earlier this month when he and a buddy stopped by the nudie joint, where he purportedly introduced himself as JD and told her that he was in town shooting a porno flick.
RELATED: Become a fan of Wonderwall on Facebook!
She claims they exchanged phone numbers and a few days later, Duhamel, who was recently in Georgia filming the Katherine Heigl rom-com "Life As We Know It," invited her to his $820-a-night hotel room for a -- what's a nice word we could use here? -- liaison.
Now, far be it for us to question the integrity of a stripper (see her posing awkwardly in a bikini here) who was paid by the Enquirer to level salacious accusations against a celebrity, even if she did supposedly pass a lie detector test.
Still, E! points out that it was contacted by a lawyer apparently representing Forrester who said she'd be willing to blab some more in exchange for "compensation." And Gossip Cop notes that the top-heavy duds-doffer later tried to get additional moolah from the Enquirer.
Duhamel married Fergie in January during a lavish ceremony in Malibu, and he's repeatedly gushed about their union.

"It's almost like, 'OK. It's just you and me. You and me against the world,'" he said in the July issue of Redbook. "I know she's got my back, and I've got hers. And it's good."
His Black Eyed Peas better half has also extolled the supportive aspect of their relationship, which began in 2004 after Duhamel admitted in an interview that he'd had a dream about her.
"I've been in a lot of relationships that were exciting but unhealthy, very Sid-and-Nancy-esque," Fergie admitted to the August issue of Marie Claire. "I wanted somebody I could count on. [And] with all the craziness of this business, I know I can count on my man -- and he knows he can count on me."

The El Paso Independent School District Board of Managers on Tuesday approved to restructure the district's Curriculum and Instruction Department that will require 19 employees to reapply for jobs within the department this summer.
Associate Superintendent James Steinhauser said the restructuring was part of the district's response to House Bill 5, the school testing overhaul bill passed last year.
The department aims to refocus resources from preparation for high school exams to elementary education in light of those changes.
The restructuring also is designed to provide better service to English-language learners with more support for Dual Language programs.
Steinhauser said the plan, which was not discussed with employees before it went to the board, would save $600,000 in the next budget — a figure reached by eliminating 12 of 37 positions. Most of those employees affected are facilitators who work directly with campuses to support teachers and improve instruction.
The potential for elimination of jobs within the department caused alarm among curriculum and instruction staff members, who learned about the item from reading Tuesday's board agenda.
Norma De La Rosa, president of the El Paso Teachers Association, said the plan should be send back for further review that includes all parties.
Cynthia Ontiveros, an assistant director of science in curriculum and instruction, said the department's staff members understand change is inevitable but they are willing to adapt to the new goals at the district.
"I hope you'll take an opportunity to get to know how each one of us adds value and complements the work already in progress," she said.
Steinhauser, who previously oversaw Research and Evaluation, added Curriculum and Evaluation to his portfolio last fall. The department was previously overseen by
Associate Superintendent Joseph Lopez, who retired from EPISD in January.
He told the board that no department employees would lose their jobs through the restructuring, although he clarified later to reporters that those not rehired in curriculum and instruction would be able to apply for positions elsewhere in the district.
"They're all excellent people and it's a shame that we have to downsize the department and move some people on because they're all great educators and they'll be wonderful in the jobs they do in the district," he said. "But right now, we don't need those resources in the high school."
Although the plan was approved unanimously, board members questioned whether it was rolled out in a transparent manner. Carmen Arrieta-Candelaria said transparency and lack of disclosure was a failing on the part of the previous administration and EPISD must be careful not to repeat those mistakes.
"I think that's what causes apprehension and also causes a lot of unnecessary tensions," she said.
Steinhauser and Chief Academic Officer Ivonne Durant will meet with the curriculum and instruction staff on Thursday to go over the restructuring plan.
Also Tuesday, the board voted to replace its longtime outside legal counsel Mounce, Green, Myers, Safi, Paxson & Galatzan for two legal contracts. After conducting
interviews last week, the board voted to award employment counsel contract to the firm of ScottHulse, PC and the contract for real estate and construction law to Kemp Smith LLP. Blanco Ordonez Mata & Wallace, P.C. also will be retained for counsel on both contracts.

Carson Palmer issued his strongest criticism yet about the absence of ninth-year wide receiver Chad Ochocinco.
The verbal salvos from Carson Palmer about Chad Ochocinco's absence from the Bengals this offseason have intensified.
On Sirius NFL Radio on Tuesday, Palmer issued his strongest criticism yet about the absence of the ninth-year wide receiver.
"It's definitely a new look for the Bengals receiver corps but I couldn't be happier with the guys we've got," Palmer said. "T.J.'s (Houshmandzadeh) gone and Chad's pretty much gone, he hasn't been here, so we've got guys that want those two spots, guys that compete day in and day out, when we're out there on the field, running, conditioning and in the ...

If you're a television fan of a certain age, you probably have fond memories of actor Richard Chamberlain. He dominated the small screen a few decades back, starting with his portrayal of handsome, earnest young Dr. Kildare in the 1961-66 NBC medical drama and continuing with his work in mini-series such as "Shogun" and "The Thorn Birds."
Chamberlain, now 78 and a longtime Hawaii resident, makes a rare local appearance this month in "The Heiress" at the Pasadena Playhouse. He plays Dr. Austin Sloper, a stern but well-meaning New York physician living in the mid-19th-century whose complicated relationship with his plain daughter, Catherine, leads to tragedy when she becomes the object of a young man's affections.
Learm more about Chamberlain and "The Heiress" in the slide show.
