Wikimedia Foundation's new plans announced
Last week the Wikimedia Foundation released its annual plan for July 2013 to June 2014. It provides a surprisingly frank view—of past achievements and failures, and future goals and risks—that could be afforded only by a non-profit that is confident and beholden to no commercial or political interests.
The document sets out the blueprint for how the Foundation intends to evolve during the coming fiscal year—the fourth in the five-year strategic plan it launched in 2010. In backgrounding the 2013–14 plan, the document describes progress over the past two years. In 2011–12, the WMF was "capacity-building, conducting research and analysis, and experimenting". Last year this shifted into an "execution phase", building on the introduction of the strategy of "narrowing focus", developed and introduced by the Board of Trustees and executive director Sue Gardner a year ago. The key aspects of this new strategy are a primary focus on product development and engineering, and on grantmaking; it involves a willingness to "shut down or deprioritise" areas deemed not to be supporting these areas.
The document admits that the 2015 targets were "audacious guesswork" and will not be achieved, although progress towards them has been "steady and real" in the key indicators of site uptime, site performance, time-to-rollout, number of readers, and number of articles. The disappointment continues to be the number of editors, which has proven to be "our most difficult challenge", but the claim is made that there is "a good outlook for materially impacting the overall size and diversity of Wikimedia's community in the year ahead".
2012–13: what has been achieved?
There have been significant advances. VisualEditor is now under trial as an option on the English Wikipedia, despite (perhaps in anticipation of) the wave of technical complaints from the editing community. Mobile readership is growing strongly, with improvements to the user experience. Wikipedia Zero, while "a tougher slog than anticipated", is on track to give half a billion people mobile access to free downloads from WMF sites, although page-view results are as yet less impressive. In a move towards financial transparency, the grantmaking program has been re-organised and expanded with the creation of the FDC. The travel project Wikivoyage was brought under the WMF umbrella as the first new type of content project since 2006. A framework for providing legal assistance to editors in certain circumstances was developed and implemented.
Financially, the WMF has finished the year "in excellent shape". A two-part fundraiser that experimented with the rationing of page banners has enabled important refinements. Revenue rose not by the expected 32% from the previous fiscal year, but by a notable 46%. Spending was slightly under-budget. Staffing has increased by 40% to 167, again slightly less than predicted.
2013–14: what does the next year hold?
The Foundation's most substantial change slated for 2013–14 is the split of the Product and Engineering Division into two departments. The move will allow the current head, Erik Möller, to devote his time solely to product-related concerns, while a second head will represent and deal with engineering issues. The move will come with a bump in funding from US$15.3M to $21M, and in staffing; the Foundation believes "this will enable our core engineering projects to launch more quickly and at a higher level of quality". There will be further investments in achieving high standards of evaluation in grantmaking. Emphasis on good governance comes after a number of issues in chapters over the past year, most notably the Gibraltarpedia scandal, which prompted "significant negative international press and required substantial Wikimedia Foundation managerial, legal, governance, and media relations resources to handle."
Of interest to the editing community will be the planned system-level improvements. There will be continual improvements to VisualEditor, which is seen as a key way of attracting more editors into the online projects. As this becomes a robust and stable default editing environment, the WMF will shift its attention to "a new frontier: real-time collaboration and chat. Collaborative editing environments (Google Docs, Etherpad, etc.) have proven that this combination is very powerful. In the Wikimedia context this will help address edit conflicts and inefficient collaboration on articles that receive attention from multiple users at the same time. It will also create wholly new opportunities for engagement and mentoring." Discussion systems will be modernised with Flow, a technically complex task for engineers, for which the urgency is underlined in the plan: "existing discussion systems and ad-hoc page/template-based workflows represent a critical barrier to contribution for new contributors". However, there is a note of caution—Flow is not expected to be available on all talk-based workflows by June 2014.
The Foundation's revenue is projected to decline slightly over the next year, from $50.9M to $50.1M. Spending, on the other hand, will surge by 30%, from $38.5M to $50.1M. The ambitious increase is on top of the 33% spending increase in 2012–13, though the plan takes care to note that it will be three percentage points lower than last year's increase. Because $5M was added to the WMF's reserve in 2012–13, no additional funds will be allocated to it. While more revenue could be collected if needed, the WMF believes "this target reflects an appropriate balance between funding growth while minimizing [banner] annoyance to the readers of the projects." The Signpost asked chief revenue officer Zack Exley why the costs of fundraising will increase by some 35% (up by $1.2M to $4.6M) while the funds to be raised are projected to fall by 1.6%, but did not receive a reply.
Among the extensive treatment of "Risks considered in developing the 2013–14 plan" were developments of similar themes published in last year's plan. However, one notable new theme was that "Grantmaking may not prove to be an effective way of achieving programmatic impact." The WMF sees two major challenges: "as a movement we don't currently have a solid understanding of what programmatic impact looks like and how it can be achieved, [and] the movement seems to be on a path of rapidly creating incorporated, professionally staffed entities, and it is not clear whether that is the best path towards achieving programmatic impact." The response will involve the creation of a Program Evaluation and Design team, "to facilitate conversations among program leaders ... to identify and document best practices and expertise ...".
The Signpost talks to WMF staff
Of immediate interest to the editing community is the performance of the Product and Engineering Division, which holds the key to adapting the MediaWiki software and other functionalities that affect our daily lives and, ultimately, the experience of readers in about 20 billion page views a month. The annual plan allocates considerable space to discussing the risks posed by the Silicon Valley shortage: the WMF, it states, "faces a risk of not being able to hire the key engineers, designers, product managers, and other staff needed to deliver on this plan."
The Division's budget—which pays for salaries and associated travel, server and equipment purchases, hosting costs, and external contract services—will increase from $15.3M to $21.0M, up by 37%. We asked Erik Möller, VP of the Division, to what extent will this increase go towards higher salaries—either generally to existing staff in the department, or to new hires. In asking this, we put to him an observation sometimes made that WMF engineers are not well paid by industry standards. He disagreed with this observation:
"By non-profit standards, the Wikimedia Foundation offers salaries in the top quartile. By for-profit standards, the Wikimedia Foundation offers base salaries in the 50th percentile of Bay Area tech [employee] compensation ... Clearly, we are not going to win a bidding war with a multi-billion dollar tech company—but then again, they don't tend to have as awesome a mission as we do, and you may have to talk to a lawyer if you want to release code [you write for a for-profit] as open source. / ... our personnel costs do increase every year, accounting for cost-of-living, merit-based pay, and fairness adjustments (e.g. bringing folks who've been hired early at a lower base salary gradually to the level of more recent hires). In addition, we offer generous [health insurance and retirement] benefits plan ..."
Erik Möller's point about "fairness adjustments" does imply a recognition by the WMF that salaries have had to be adjusted upwards since the crisis hit in 2010. He further cited the increased flexibility for engineers, particularly in terms of working outside San Francisco, and a host of non-salary "strategies to attract engineering talent", detailed in the "Risks" section of the annual plan.
We asked LiAnna Davis, communications manager of the Wikipedia Education Program, who will it recruit as "volunteers and educators"? She pointed out that the education program already exists in these four countries. The approach has been "to work with mission-aligned university professors who are already interested in Wikipedia as a teaching tool as small pilots. Drs Nidal Yousef (Jordan), Fareh Abdelhak (Algeria), and Mohammed Alghbban and Sami Ben Salamh (Saudi Arabia) have partnered with us this last term." In Algeria, LiAnna said, Dr Fareh is very involved with the free software movement, ... and his students last term added an impressive 1.6 million bytes of content to the Arabic Wikipedia; "in other words, one class in Algeria added nearly the same amount content to the Arabic Wikipedia as seven classes did in the Cairo pilot." Independent programs in Saudi had been in progress, and Drs Sami and Mohammed, who run the Wikipedia Arabic Translation Project, sponsored by their university, "simply joined forces with us. Last year they created a Wikipedia Training Center for Translation on campus. Both professors joined the Education Workshop in Milan at the chapters meeting, "so they've also had the opportunity to collaborate with others in our movement."
Oxford MPhil and former Rhodes Scholar Anasuya Sengupta was recruited to the key role of senior director of grantmaking just one year ago. We first expressed surprise to her that the annual plan revealed grantmaking overheads to be projected at 28% in the coming year, almost twice the rate as for other foundations that engage regularly in international grantmaking. She pointed out that the number itself, for all grantmaking agencies, depends very much on the way it is calculated. (It does seem that the Foundation might have used different methods of calculation, given its unique circumstances and the decision to exclude from the calculations the WMF's bid for nearly half of the FDC's funding.)
What is clear is that individual grants are administratively expensive, and that the FDC is still at an early stage of development and involves intensive face-to-face interactions: "very few international foundations give individual grants, which are highly resource-intensive (of the 89 grants we gave over 2012–13, 43 were grants to individuals for projects, events and travel)." In addition, there is the start-up cost of "investing in an open-source back-end grants management software (capital expenditure), and the addition of two staff positions for grants and governance."
Anasuya Sengupta said that "some US-based public foundations that give out 8–10 million dollars in international grants, have at least 70 staff engaged in the process", compared with the 10 staff doing so at the WMF. She emphasised that WMF grantmaking is central to "implementing a Global South strategy, facilitating conversations on the Gender Gap, and doing research, learning and evaluation that supports all of these processes. That makes us pretty effective and efficient, I think. We are committed, nonetheless, to keeping a close watch on our costs relative to our expenditures, and reporting back to the community regularly."
A new strategy for addressing issues surrounding the global south (currently 5% of grantmaking) and the 90–10 gender gap will be to focus on selected geographies and languages with high potential and by encouraging the increased participation of female contributors, at least partly through grantmaking. We asked whether grantmaking will explicitly favour these agendas. Not favouring, but soliciting, Sengupta responded: "All our grantmaking programs evaluate grant proposals strictly on their merits, and will continue to do so." However, the WMF will be reaching out, "proactively encouraging such proposals to be submitted in the first place. ... a proposal that actually addresses the gender gap [will be rated higher], all other things being equal, than one that doesn't." She emphasised that this will also apply to the focus on selected geographies and languages of the global south, but that all grant applications must "stand competitively alongside others in our global processes", and that feedback from communities will be important in developing these strategies. "To offer our readers the sum total of all human knowledge, we need to strengthen the presence and active participation of women contributors and global South communities."
In view of the increased attention to language translation (one extra dedicated employee in 2013–14), we took the opportunity to ask Garfield Byrd, chief of finance and administration, whether the Foundation is prepared to commit resources to the prompt and accurate translation of the annual plan itself (or key parts of it) into other languages. He stated: "I am hoping that some key parts of the annual plan can be translated and the Foundation is prepared to commit resources to this task."
In brief
- World's largest encyclopedia meets the world's largest medical library: Following the Signpost's story on the English Wikipedia's medical collaborations two weeks ago, a National Institutes of Health blog post published this week focused attention on the ongoing collaborations between WikiProject Medicine and the institutes' PubMed initiative.
- New chapter affiliate: By resolution of the Foundation's Board of Trustees, Wikimedia Uruguay is now a fully fledged chapter affiliate. The chapters are legally independent organizations set up to promote the interests of the Wikimedia movement on a local basis; as such, nearly all of them operate within and are separated by the borders of different nation-states.
- Engineering report: The June Wikimedia engineering report has been published on Meta.
- Wikivoyage logo: Submissions for the new Wikivoyage logo are still being accepted on Meta.
- Controversial topics: Gawker has published a list of the ten most controversial topics on Wikipedia, gleaned from a study where Taha Yasseri and a team of researchers defined controversiality by "summing the weights of all mutually reverting editor pairs, excluding the topmost pair, and multiplying this number by the total number of editors involved in the article." On the list are many articles long-time Wikipedians will recognize: at the top is George W. Bush, while among the most unusual is "List of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. employees" (most likely List of WWE personnel).
- Most interesting article lead: Foreign Policy's Passport blog asked its readers if the lead section of Adrian Carton de Wiart was the "most interesting opening paragraph Wikipedia's ever published?" Wiart fought in three wars, where he was "shot in the face, head, stomach, ankle, leg, hip and ear, survived a plane crash, tunneled out of a POW camp, and bit off his own fingers when a doctor wouldn't amputate them." Reportedly, Wiart later said of his experiences: "frankly I had enjoyed the war."
- Thanks for the informative article! One clarification around this statement: "What is clear is that the new Individual Engagement Grants program is expensive to run, and that the FDC is still at an early stage of development and involves intensive face-to-face interactions: "very few international foundations give individual grants, which are highly resource-intensive (of the 89 grants we gave over 2012–13, 43 were grants to individuals for projects, events and travel)."" In fact, most of those 43 individual grants were not part of the Individual Engagement Grants program (which only ran 1 pilot round so far, and accounts for 8 grants out of 43). The larger portion of this number was made to individuals for projects and events in the WMF Grants program, and for travel via the Participation Support Program. And for accounting purposes in closing out the fiscal year 2012/13, funds spent on Fellowships during the first half of the year were also counted as individual grants. Siko (WMF) (talk) 19:01, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
- +1. I wanted to agree with Siko on both the appreciation and the clarification. :-) In addition, to make it clear, the WMF bid is not excluded from the FDC _process_ (the FDC and WMF are currently in conversation over WMF's application in Round 2 of the FDC process in March 2014), but simply from the base amount projected as grants spend for this year, i.e. 8 million USD. Thanks, Signpost team.--ASengupta (WMF) (talk) 19:19, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
- VisualEditor will be a hot issue for the time to come. The Dutch Wikipedia is holding a vote to disable it until proven stable! They know what they are talking about, as many Dutch Wikipedians are also active on the English Wikipedia. The Banner talk 23:04, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
- See Wikipedia:VPT#.22Opt_out.22_of_VE_needed_under_preferences and WP:VisualEditor/RFC, and compare User_talk:Eloquence#I_need_a_way_to_turn_off_VisualEditor_globally._Please_give_us_a_way. The opinions of the userbase don't matter to the WMF with this one. Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:37, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
- I am not saying that WMF overpays salaries, from what I have heard the salaries seem reasonable. But this point seems odd "Erik Möller's point about "fairness adjustments" does imply a recognition by the WMF that salaries have had to be adjusted upwards since the crisis hit in 2010" - the crisis in 2010 resulted in more unemployed engineers - hence I would imagine it would be easier to pick up an engineer at a lower salary than had the crisis not struck. Am I thinking of the wrong 2010 crisis? Good article and all, but this point bugs me Jztinfinity (talk) 06:03, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
- The external databases we use have salary data from the late 2012/early 2013 timeframe. The 2010 crisis certainly hit (I was affected by it when I was consulting), but some specific sectors/types of engineers weren't much hit or recovered pretty quickly. For instance, mobile developers and site performance engineers are in very high demand, and so the frame of the 2010 crisis in picking up lower salary employees doesn't quite apply universally. Gyoung (talk) 07:01, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
- The article uses the word "foregrounding" which I feel is not only a regrettable piece of management jargon (I had to look it up) but also may not mean what it is being used to mean - it apparently means "Make (something) the most prominent or important feature". Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 09:03, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
- despite (perhaps in anticipation of) the wave of technical complaints I think you mean "in a half-finished state, causing a wave of technical complaints". — Scott • talk 08:01, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- " the movement seems to be on a path of rapidly creating incorporated, professionally staffed entities, and it is not clear whether that is the best path towards achieving programmatic impact." - interesting statement. Wikimedia UK seems to be a classic example of this - have you asked them for comment? AndrewRT(Talk) 21:25, 23 July 2013 (UTC) (ex-Trustee of WMUK)
- "The Signpost asked chief revenue officer Zack Exley why the costs of fundraising will increase by some 35% (up by $1.2M to $4.6M) while the funds to be raised are projected to fall by 1.6%, but did not receive a reply." Zack Exley: fail. WMF: fail. If journalist ask something that important, not replying smacks of another Giblarpedia snafu. I am sure this is nothing as serious here, still, silence doesn't sound good at all... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:42, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Skill Order
|Q Dark Flight
|W Blood Thirst / Blood Price
|E Blades of Torment
|R Massacre
Maxing Blades of Torment first allows Aatrox to have efficient wave clear and poke the enemy laner. While maxing maxing Blood Thirst/Blood Price will allow Aatrox to sustain and out trade his opponent.
Passive: Blood Well
- Blood Well
- When using an ability that costs Health, Aatrox stores the self-inflicted damage into the Blood Well. Upon taking fatal damage, Aatrox extracts the blood from the well and recovers it as Health over a brief duration. Additionally, Aatrox gains 1% Attack Speed for every 2% blood that is in the well.
Blood Well is a passive that gives you a second chance at life. It makes you invulnerable for three seconds, upon which you revive with the amount of blood stored in the Blood Well. The exact amount is the amount stored + 10.5 + (15.75 x level). It has a relatively short cooldown of 225 seconds compared to the rest of the Guardian Angel-like effects.
Q: Dark Flight
- Dark Flight
- Aatrox takes flight and slams down at a targeted location, dealing 70/115/160/205/250 (+0.6*AD) physical damage to all nearby enemies and knocking up targets at the center of impact for 1 second.
- Cost
- 10% of current Health
- Range
- Global
- Cooldown
- 16/15/14/13/12 Seconds
Dark Flight is a very fast animation gap-closing ability. It knocks up any targets hit in the very center of the circle so it acts like a 1 second stun. The ability can carry you over walls for an escape so as long as you have it, chances are you can escape a sticky situation. Dark Flight also gives Aatrox the option to peel for his carries, however, he's much better at assassinating enemy carries.
W: Blood Thirst / Blood Price
- Blood Thirst / Blood Price
- While toggled off Aatrox benefits from Blood Thirst, while toggled on Blood Price is activated and removes Blood Thirst.
Blood Thirst: Every third attack, Aatrox restores 20/25/30/35/40 (+0.25*AD) Health, increased by 200% () when below half Health.
Blood Price: Every third attack, Aatrox deals 60/95/130/165/200 (+1*AD) bonus physical damage and loses Health.
- Cost
- No Cost
- Range
- 1
- Cooldown
- 0.5/0.5/0.5/0.5/0.5 Seconds
This ability is a toggle effect with one doing bonus damage at the cost of health every 3 hits and the other giving health every 3 hits with a triple bonus if you're below 50% health. The heal from this ability becomes a massive baiting tool when you're below 50% health, where players think that they'll kill you and you get a big burst of health out of nowhere. The 3 hit effect kind of crippled Aatrox's usability as he'd just be a significantly better champion if the effects applied every hit at a 1/3rd diminished effect.
E: Blades of Torment
- Blades of Torment
- Aatrox unleashes the power of his blade, dealing 75/110/145/180/215 (+0.6*AP) (+0.6*AD) Magic Damage to all enemies hit and slowing them by 40% for 1.8/2/2.3/2.5/2.8 seconds.
- Cost
- 5% of current Health
- Range
- 1000
- Cooldown
- 12/11/10/9/8 Seconds
This ability fires a triangle-like nuke from the tip of Aatrox's blade dealing magic damage and slowing for a short period. The end of the projectile has a very narrow hitbox, so be careful when firing this ability, you must be very accurate if they're not rather close to you. You'll generally want to use this ability after you Dark Flight so that you can auto attack your target the maximum times.
R: Massacre
- Massacre
- Aatrox draws in the blood of his foes, dealing 200/300/400 (+1*AP) magic damage to all enemy champions around him. Massacre then fills Aatrox's Blood Well by % for each champion hit and grants him 40/50/60% attack speed and 175 attack range for 12 seconds.
- Cost
- No Cost
- Range
- 550
- Cooldown
- 100/85/70 Seconds
Massacre is an AOE magic damage max % health nuke based on Aatrox's current position. It's a bit like a Kennen ult or a Fiddlesticks ult with the champ as the center point, but all his damage happens instantly. After using the ultimate he has a nice little range increase to 325 and a massive attack speed steroid. Combined with his attack speed steroid from Blood Well, he can easily be near cap with very few items.

The feel is so gentle, and so is the scent. Not too many scrub particles. Just the right amount. The skin on my face feels squeaky clean afterwards.
Highly recommended

We are so looking forward to seeing you there!
The second film in our spring film series is the American psychological thriller, Cape Fear. This gripping film stars Robert Mitchum, Gregory Peck, Martin Balsam, and Polly Bergen. It was adapted by James R. Webb from the novel The Executioners by John D. McDonald. It was directed by J. Lee Thompson, and released on April 12, 1962. The movie concerns an attorney whose family is stalked by a criminal he helped to send to jail. Bosley Crowther of The New York Times praised the "tough, tight script" as well as the film's "steady and starkly sinister style." He went on to conclude his review by saying that "this is really one of those shockers that provokes disgust and regret." The entertainment-trade magazine Variety reviewed the film as "competent and visually polished", while commenting on Mitchum's performance as a "menacing omnipresence."

Preceded by the Film Screening: "A Late Quartet" on Thursday, March 19th 2015, at 8 PM
This vibrant quartet, comprised of Princeton Universe music faculty, was founded in 1992 and named after Mme. Antonie Brentano, believed to be Beethoven's "Immortal Beloved." Its four members, graduates of the Julliard School, have performed all over the world, including a 2013 appearance at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in Ft. Worth, TX, where they were invited to play a piano quintet by Brahms, Dvorak, Franck, or Schumann with each of the competition's 12 finalists.
In 2012 the Brentano String Quartet's chamber music was featured in the score of the film A Late Quartet, starring renowned actors Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christopher Walken, and Catherine Keener. While the score includes works by numerous composers, particular emphasis is on Beethoven's String Quartet No. 14 in C-sharp Minor, Op. 131.
The presentation of the Brentano String Quartet is, in fact, a "double header" for TCA subscribers in that both a screening of A Late Quartet and a live concert by the group are offered as one event with a week's intermission between the two parts.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

text: Hi everyone! I'm making a research and I want to figure out how much L-arginine is in a capsule, which is said to contain 0,5 grams of L-arginine. Basically I want to check if the nutrition values on the lebel of the product are right. I decided to try with spectrophotometric determination (there is a short abstract of this method - http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0308814684901109). In the description it writes that I need thymol (0,02 % in 1N alkali), sodium hypobromite (2%: 0,68 ml of bromine in 100 ml of 5 % sodium hydroxide) and arginine solution (0,1%). After I have everything I have to put into a 5 ml standard volumetric flask an aliquot of arginine solution (0,2-2,6 ml), thymol (2 ml) and sodium hypobromite (0,1 ml) and then I mix them and diluted to the mark with distilled water. The absorbance should be measured at 440 nm. And than the amount of arginine is deduced from a standard calibration curve. That is what is in the description. - I put 0,02 g of tymol in 100 ml 1 M NaOH - I put 0,1 g of chemical arginine in 100 ml distilled water - I put 5 grams of NaOH in 100 ml distilled water and added 0,68 ml of bromine Than I tried to make samples for calibration curve. I made five samples, I followed the instructions. In one sample I gave 0,2 ml of arginine solution, in one 0,8 ml, in one 1,2 ml, in one 2 ml and in the last I gave 2,6 ml of arginine solution. I'm worried because colours in the volumetic flasks at the end didn't go from light to dark. The darkest one was the one which contained 0,8 ml od arginine. Well that makes no sense to me... And results on the spectrophotometer were disastrous. There was no line. Have you have any idea what could have gone wrong? I am a high school student so I really need some help there. Sorry for my English.. Thank you!

Sooriyaarachi to be laid to rest Wednesday[TamilNet, Sunday, 10 February 2008, 21:51 GMT]
The remains of former Port Development Minister and Sri Lanka Freedom Party-Mahayana Wing (SLFP) (M) Coordinator Sripathi Sooriyarachchi, who was killed in a car accident Saturday at Thambuththegama, Anuradhapura was kept in Jayaratne Funeral Parlour in Borella Sunday morning for viewing by public to pay their homage, and was later taken to his residence in Kandana, sources in Colombo said.
A large number of politicians including Cabinet ministers D.M.Jayaratne ,C.B.Ratnayake,Mervyn Silva and members of the ruling SLFP , opposition members of parliament Arjun Ranatunge,Laxman Seneviratne,Abdul Cader,Wijeyadsa Rajapakse,Ravi Ratnayake and United National Party (UNP) National Cordinator S.P.Dissanayake many Buddhist monks and supporters of the late politician filed past the casket paying their respect.
The casket carrying the remains of Sooriyarachchi was then taken in a procession to his residence in Kandana at 12:00 noon.
Late Sooriyarachi, born in September 8, 1969, was 45 when he met with his tragic death. He is survived by his wife Dilrukshi and four children, two daughters and two sons.
Sooriyarachi who initially expressed interest in national politics in 1989, entered in main stream politics in April 2004 during the presidency of Chandrika Bandaranayake, winning Kelaniya electorate.
He was a retired officer of Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) and also held important jobs including the post of Commissioner of Food Department and also held various positions in Ruphavagini Corporation.
Mr.Sooriyarachi, who won the 2004 General elections in Kelaniya electorate served as Minister for youth affairs and Sports.
Sooriyarachchi, who was one of the chief campaigners along with Mangala Samaraweera for President Mahinda Rajapakse at the presidential election, was sworn in as Minister of Ports Development by Rajapaksa on assuming office. He later became the Minister for Skills Development and Training. In addition he also accepted the added responsibility of a non cabinet position of Minister for Ports.
However, soon his relationship with the President soured and a serious difference in opinion developed. Sooriyarachchi alleged that President Rajapakse and his campaign team entered into a secret deal with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eeelam (LTTE) to enforce a boycott in the north and east of the November 2005 presidential election. He presented a motion calling for the appointment of a Parliamentary Select Committee to probe the allegations.
He also moved the Supreme Court to stop the sale of National Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) shares in Sri Lanka Telecom to Maxis of Malaysia. The case is still pending in the Supreme Court.
Less than six weeks after Sooriyarachchis sacking, the government filed charges against him under the Offences Against Public Property Act for the misappropriation of a state vehicle and had him remanded. During his time in remand, Sooriyarachchi refused to take refuge in a hospital and did his time in Welikada prison until he was enlarged on bail by the Avissawella High Court stating there was no basis for the allegation.
It is significant to note that his tragic death occurred exactly on the date of completion of one year from the time he left the party in power. After being stripped of his cabinet portfolio and sacked from the party, late Sooriyarachi On June 19, crossed over to the opposition with fellow SLFP Member of Parliament (MP) Mangala Samaraweera, forming the SLFP Mahajana Wing, or SLFP (M).
Mr.Sooriyarachi then entered into talks with Ranil Wickremasinghe, the leader of UNP and on July 19, formed a National Council composed of UNP and SLFP (M) and held a number of conferences and general meetings against the government.
Just two weeks ago, the Attorney General filed two indictments against Sooriyaarachchi, one in Colombo on the vehicle issue and another indictment in Polonnaruwa for an alleged murder during the 2002 UNF government.
The cremation is scheduled to be held 13 February Wednesday 3:00 p.m. at Khanate cemetery, Borella.

Mazda CX-9 Problems
Various electrical issues may develop related to the body control module (BCM). There have been reports of water damage to the BCM caused by clogged or damaged sunroof drains. It is recommend to periodically inspect the sun roof drain for debris and clean as necessary.
A chirping or squeaking noise may be noted from the front of the vehicle when traversing bumps at low speeds. Our technicians tell us this type of noise is generally caused by the front strut mounts which will require replacement.
Mazda CX-9 Questions
After 6 car washes, the exterior trim and Bumpers showed some fading and white marks, like the paint or coloring had faded off.
Anyone having trim issues like this.
anyone have a good solution?
with labor I was told it would cost 1500.00$. That seems too high to me.
The front air conditioner fan speed will not adjust, the rear air fan speed works fine, but the front will not adjust off of low. What could ne the cause?
Mazda CX-9 Recalls
The ball joint may corrode and separate from the suspension of the vehicle. Dealers will replace both front lower control arms free of charge to resolve the concern.
The heated seat elements may overheat, causing a fire hazard. Dealers will install an additional ground harness on the seat heater control system. If any damage has already occurred, those parts will be replaced or repaired, too. This recall began on March 9, 2010. The Mazda recall n umber is 5810B.
The wire harness under seats equipped with position memory may be damaged by the front cover bracket. As a result, the ability to adjust the seat may be lost and cause difficulties driving the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect, repair, and secure the harness as necessary. This recall is expected to begin by March 16, 2009. The Mazda recall number is 5309B.

The CX-9 is as close to perfect as an SUV/Crossover can get! It is superior to my former Explorers and Grand Cherokee in every way! The interior could pass for a Lexus. Handling, acceleration and braking are closer to that of a sports sedan than an SUV. It is smooth and quiet at highway speeds.

I bought the 2007 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring and I love it. It drives great and has lots of room. The BOSE sound system sounds great. My only problem inside is in the 3rd row seat you don't have any air conditioning, so it gets hot sometimes. My only problem outside is when you turn on the parking lights, the side mirror lights and front turning lights should come on too. But over all it is the b...
Had this car delivered with 300 miles on it. My wife loves it; there aare a few things they could have done for 34k, suspension makes alot of noise, seats feel cheap and they too makes noise. Overall, this is a good car. 53k on original tires and the brakes have never been changed.

Intra-industry Trade and Innovation: An empirical study of the Colombian manufacturing industry
This paper analyses the theoretical and empirical relationship between intra-industry trade (IIT) flows in manufactures and technical change for the Colombian manufacturing industry during the 1970-95 period. A general estimating equation for the sources of change of the equilibrium number of varieties, in which TFP growth is one of its components, is derived from the basic model of trade in differentiated goods with monopolistic competition. Based on that relationship, several estimations on the determinants of IIT flows are carried out. The econometric set up follows a panel data and cross-section estimations of system of simultaneous equations. TFP and IIT indices are the endogenous variables of the system with industry characteristic, trade policy, and innovation-activity variables as the set of exogenous variables. The paper also presents a comparative analysis in the direction and trends of Colombia's IIT flows in manufactures with the Group of Seven, NAFTA, and the Latin American Free Trade area members (LAFTA) since 1974.

This symposium on tumor viruses, with 30 papers and 80 participants, is divided into two main parts. Part 1, covering viral infection and tumors, takes up murine leukemia, avian leukosis and related neoplasms, mammary tumors, induction of tumors and transformation of cells by deoxyribonucleic acid viruses, molecular structure of adenovirus, and virus-specific complement-fixing neoantigens in virus-free but virus-induced tumor cells.
Part 2 concerns the diagnosis and management of viral infections, including virus detection, cell-bound and humoral cytotoxic antibodies in tumor immunity, prophylaxis, and therapy. Some of the topics dealt with are immunologic relationships among some of the murine leukemia viruses, virus-host interactions of avian tumors, immunology of spontaneous mammary carcinoma in mice, immunization against tumors induced by human adenovirus, comparative molecular structure of oncogenic and nononcogenic adenoviruses, and detection of oncogenic viral infections by the fluorescent antibody technique. Of special interest are the papers on electron microscopic structure of Newcastle

Aggies back in the NCAAs for fourth year
A month ago Texas A&M was in jeopardy of missing the NCAA tournament for the first time in four years, but after a six-game win streak to close out the regular season the Aggies are dancing once again. But A&M is in a very familiar position in an odd sort of déjà vu.
Just like last season, A&M will be heading to the West region as the No. 9 seed where the Aggies will face the No. 8 seed BYU, which just so happens to be the same team the Aggies faced in the first round of the NCAA tournament last year. A&M beat BYU, 67-62.
The location, however, isn't anywhere near Anaheim. Instead, A&M and BYU will face off at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia on Thursday.
The winner of A&M-BYU will face the winner of top-seed Connecticut and No. 16 seed Chattanooga.
With A&M heading to the NCAA tournament for the fourth consecutive season, A&M senior small forward Josh Carter becomes the first Aggie player in school history to play in four NCAA tournaments.
A&M is also one of just 16 teams to play in the NCAA tournament in each of the last four years. The Aggies are also just one of eight teams to win a game in the NCAA tournament in each of the last three seasons, joining North Carolina, UCLA, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, Georgetown, Texas and Memphis.
The Aggies are also one of just four teams to win a postseason game in each of the last four seasons. The others are North Carolina (4 NCAA), Georgetown (1 NIT, 3 NCAA) and Memphis (1 NIT, 3 NCAA).

Meal Cards have real value and it is the cardholder's responsibility to ensure its safety. Lost cards must be reported immediately to the Manager of Food Operations who will deactivate the card. You are responsible for any unauthorized purchases up to the time you report the missing card. If a Card has been found after it has been deactivated, the Resident must report this Pangaea's Kitchen in Riddell Hall where the Manager of Food Operations will re-activate it.
Replacement cards may be issued at a cost of $25.00. Residents must not punch holes in the Card as this may disable the Card's functionality.

New York Boat Transport
New York Boat Transporters and Haulers have a great deal of state DOT regulations to contend with. The state of New York is not a easy location to be moving a boat in or through as they have very strict oversize transportation regulations. Transporting a boat to or from Long Island New York has its own set of regulations that are strictly enforced. Most transport companies do not offer the service of transporting oversize boats in the Long Island area due to this bureaucracy. The additional costs involved with transporting a boat in or through New York is warranted.
- For all intent and purposes any boat that exceeds 8.6 wide and 13.6 tall is considered oversize.
- Any oversize boat being transported in New York that is wider than 10 feet wide must have one escort, two escorts are required for boats over 12 feet wide.
- Boats being hauled in or through New York state that exceeds 13.6 tall must have a pole car.
- Operating hours are from sunrise to sunset Monday through Friday. Major cities have their own restrictions for transporting oversize boats.
- Long Island has its own set of restrictions for transporting oversize boats to or off the island. The rules that Boat Transporters must comply with change quite frequently so we will not attempt to outline them here. But with Long Island New York in mind be prepared for additional costs involved in shipping your boat to or from Long Island. Long Island requires additional escorts and pole cars as well as police escorts. The hours of operation to move a boat on or off the island are at night only for boats exceeding 10 feet wide. We at Boat Transport Pros advise choosing another pickup or delivery location.
For more detailed information on New York DOT regulations please view: https://www.dot.ny.gov/
This info applies to all Boat Transport, Powerboat Transport, Sailboat Transport,
Yacht Transport, and Small Boat Transport.
**This information is being provided as a helpful guide to assist you in the transport of your vessel. Some of the information may have changed or been updated, so check local and state regulations to ensure accuracy. For your convenience we have listed a website for additional information.

Benediction Group
Born on 5 April 1961 in Dassa-Zoumè in the department of Les Collines, Eugenie has lived for ten years in Tankpè, in the town of Abomey Calavi. She is married to a gentleman named Placide and has one child, who currently attends school. In addition to her own child, Eugenie has another child in her care. Eugenie and her husband take care of the various household expenses together. Eugenie ended her studies at the secondary level. For about fifteen years, she has sold various items (maize, beans, rice, canned goods, soap, etc.) at her store located in her home. This business provides her with an income that helps her contribute to the family's expenses. Eugenie buys her goods at Dantokpa, the international market in Benin, and at the Houègbo market in Benin. This first loan will definitely allow Eugenie and her group to raise the level of their businesses and increase their clientele and income. In the future, Eugenie's ambition is to build a house and rent it out.
Née le 05 Avril 1961 à Dassa-Zoumè dans le département des Collines, Eugenie vit depuis dix ans à Tankpè, dans la commune d'Abomey Calavi. Eugenie est mariée à un monsieur nommé Placide et a un enfant, qui est scolarisé. En dehors de son enfant, Eugenie a un autre enfant à charge. Eugenie assure ensemble avec son mari les différentes charges de la maison. Eugenie a arrêté l'école au cours secondaire. Depuis une quinzaine d'année, Eugenie vend divers produits (maïs, haricot, riz, conserves, savons, etc.) dans sa boutique size à son domicile. Cette activité lui génère des revenus l'aidant à contribuer aux dépenses familiales. Eugenie achète ses produits à Dantokpa, marché international du Bénin et au marché de Houègbo au Bénin. Ce premier prêt permettra certainement à Eugenie et à son groupe de rehausser le niveau de leur activité et d'accroître leur clientèle et leur revenu. Dans l'avenir, Eugenie ambitionne construire une maison et la mettre en location.

Because the Beninois Ministry of Finance has imposed restrictions on the amount of money Alidé can send to Kiva, the organization can only send monthly repayments in installments smaller than $13,000. This means that some Kiva lenders may receive their repayments late. However, Alidé remains a healthy institution in good standing with its creditors, and Kiva would like to continue working to support its clients. For more information, please refer to Alidé's partner profile page.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
