U.S. Budget Analysis Shows Smaller Savings
WASHINGTON—A new analysis by the Congressional Budget Office suggests that the 2011 spending deal struck by Republicans and Democrats late Friday would save only about $352 million this year, a small fraction of the $38.5 billion touted by negotiators on both sides.
The nonpartisan budget office for Congress reports that the two sides succeeded in cutting the government's spending authority for this year by the larger amount. But because some of the cuts would be slow to take effect, and because some of the money was unlikely to be spent in any case, the reduction in actual "outlays" would come to a small percentage of the announced amount.
The CBO found that when emergency spending is factored in, such as funding for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the budget deal actually would spend $3 billion more than initial estimates for 2011 spending.
The report could complicate the efforts of leaders of both parties to push the deal through the House and Senate Thursday. The deal, struck in the waning hours of last Friday, averted a government shutdown that would have taken place Saturday morning. Now, lawmakers face the risk of a shutdown yet again if they do not approve the agreement or some other government funding mechanism by this Friday night.
The deal's defenders say its budget cuts are real, and that over the years they will result in significant spending reductions. Even if the cuts are slow to take effect, they say, they still amount to actual reductions.
Even before the CBO report came out, many House Republicans were expressing reservations about the $38.5 billion in cuts, saying they were disappointed that the total wasn't closer to the $61 billion initially demanded by House Republicans.
Twenty-eight House Republicans signaled their displeasure at the budget package by opposing the one-week funding extension needed to provide time to pass the longer-term deal, which would fund the government until Sept. 30, the end of the fiscal year.
Enough House Democrats may support the agreement Thursday that it will pass even with Republican defections, though that is an outcome GOP leaders had sought to avoid.
One sign of the possible loss of support among conservatives is the position of the National Review. The conservative magazine said it initially supported the agreement but on Wednesday retracted that support, arguing that the deal was reached only by using budgetary gimmicks.
Tim Pawlenty, the former Minnesota governor and likely GOP presidential candidate, also said Wednesday that he opposed the deal.
"When you consider that the federal deficit in February alone was over $222 billion, to have actual cuts less than the $38 billion originally advertised is just not serious,'' Mr. Pawlenty said.

NEW YORK (AP) - Technology stocks reclaimed their leadership of the stock market Wednesday, driving the Nasdaq composite index higher as investors bought shares of chip makers, Internet companies and beaten-down biotech firms.
The Nasdaq rose 153.07 to close at 4,864.75.
The Dow Jones industrial average slipped 40.64 to 10,866.70, having recovered from a loss of as much as 118 points.
Strength in technology also helped the broad Standard & Poor's 500 to a new record. The S&P 500 rose 6.77 to 1,500.64, capping a steady advance in recent weeks that was often overshadowed by the volatile swings of the Nasdaq and Dow.
The S&P's gains rewarded the millions of investors who sought the diversity of the broad market by pouring money into mutual funds that mirror the index's performance.
Since the Nasdaq hit its last record on March 10, it has fallen 4 percent while the Dow has advanced more than 9 percent.

How To Un-Decorate A Tree With A Nissan GT-R
Step One: get a tree. Step Two: hook the tree up to a Nissan GT-R. Step Three: engage launch control and, wait, this isn't so simple.
Step One: get a tree. Step Two: hook the tree up to a Nissan GT-R. Step Three: engage launch control and, wait, this isn't so simple.
This could be the year that Rally Sports finally leave their mark on America. If you're a fan you've probably been hearing (or saying that) for a long time, but this year is different now that we have Rally America on the NBC Sports Network and Redbull in charge of the Global Rallycross.
Yesterday we learned about the high cost of expectations: a few seconds of launch control confusion left a thousand-horsepower Bugatti Veyron flatfooted against a pedestrian-by-comparison Nissan GT-R. But on the second run, payback was swift and sweet.
Nissan's really improved the GT-R's launch control function—now dubbed LC4—for 2012. Flip it on and you can slingshot from 0-60 in 2.9 seconds. Let's hear it for strategic clutch slippage and timing retardation. [ToTheFloor.com via NAGTROC]
Nissan GT-R owners quickly discovered achieving the company's touted performance numbers meant using launch control, thus voiding their warranty. Nissan dropped launch control for 2010. Now it's back — as "R Mode Start." Here's how to do it.
Additional exclusions unearthed in the customer disclosure form for the 2010 Nissan GT-R indicate the warranty is voided should you go insane and dyno test it or deny Nissan access to your black box data.
The folks from GTRBlog were on hand with Nissan engineers when they pulled off a hoping-to-be-official 3.3-second 0-To-60 MPH launch with the updated launch control feature in the 2010 Nissan GT-R.
Owners of Nissan GT-Rs with updated launch control are starting to file their first impressions. So far, they're almost universally positive.
After Nissan's GT-R launch control issues the automaker decided to remove the system from the new 2010 model Godzilla. They should have just followed Audi's lead. The folks over at Inside Line have a long term Audi R8 in their fleet and noticed after using launch control the system asks in a polite manner to please…

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Gov. Charlie Crist will join CNN founder and philanthropist Ted Turner and Turner's son, Beau, to discuss ways to protect Florida's environment.
They'll be holding a news conference Tuesday after Crist tours the Beau Turner Youth Conservation Center about 30 miles east of Tallahassee.
The center was created in partnership with the state to preserve ethical hunting traditions and conservation by introducing Florida's youth to shooting sports and the outdoors.
The younger Turner leases the 160 acres to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Special Report #27 on Health Care
December 3, 2008
December 3, 2008 | Special Report on Health Care
On health care reform, the American people are too often offered two extremes--government-run health care with higher taxes or letting the insurance companies operate without rules. Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe both of these extremes are wrong, and that's why they've proposed a plan that strengthens employer coverage, makes insurance companies accountable and ensures patient choice of doctor and care without government interference.
--Barack Obama, "Plan for a Healthy America: Barack Obama and Joe Biden's Plan" from barackobama.com
If you already have insurance, the only thing that will change under my plan is that we will lower premiums. If you don't have health insurance, you'll be able to get the same kind of health insurance Members of Congress get for themselves.
--Barack Obama, "Closing Argument" speech, Canton, Ohio, October 26, 2008
President-elect Obama, during the campaign you pledged to build a health care system in which Americans can be assured of access to affordable health insurance. You guaranteed Americans who already have insurance that nothing would change except that their coverage would be less expensive. You pointed to the health system that Members of Congress have as your model for expanding coverage. And you agreed that choice of doctor and care is a basic principle. These laudable themes struck a chord with Americans.
Achieving this widely supported vision will be challenging in these difficult economic and budget times. It will be politically difficult. It is just 15 years since another Democrat with strong public support for health care reform--Bill Clinton--saw that support quickly evaporate when he crafted a partisan legislative proposal that departed from what Americans thought they had voted for.
In order to succeed, then, the legislation upon which you and Congress agree must be consistent with the principles of health reform that Americans believe they heard in your speeches. This means that your legislation should include the following important elements:
While Americans express frustration with our current health
system and want action to make coverage more dependable and
affordable, they also want the nation's health system to retain
important principles and features. Americans demand choice, for
instance, and if they are content with the coverage they have, they
do not want it disrupted. Moreover, they resist the idea of a
standardized system being imposed on them from Washington.
Millions of Americans voted for you because they believed your words meant that you shared these principles. You now have the opportunity to craft health legislation that abides by these principles and is compatible with your pledge.

Falcon 3.0
Brilliantly conceived and executed by Tim Cain, Leonar Boyarsky, Jason Anderson, and the rest of the team, Fallout was a minor miracle, and easily one of the best games of the 90's. Set in a nightmarish Mad Maxian California future where burnt-out humans contend with radioactivity, giant mutants, and other post-nuclear evils, Fallout was one of those rare games where everything came together. A compelling storyline, awesome dialogue and combat, brilliant art direction that extended from the cut-scenes to the interface to the manual-Fallout was a labor of love by hardcore gamers who knew exactly what they were doing. Like any real work of art, Fallout not only holds up over time, but actually gets better with age; and it's on a single CD, with no 3D graphics. It's a masterpiece.

Holt Renfrew Opens Discount Chain as Competition Steps Up
Holt Renfrew & Co. Ltd., a Canadian luxury fashion retailer, said today it will open new stores offering lower prices as it braces for increased competition from the U.S.
The Toronto-based company will open its first hr2 store in March in Quebec and plans to have locations across the country by 2015. The stores will range in size from 25,000 to 35,000 square feet, smaller than Holt Renfrew's nine department stores, said Heather Arts, vice president in charge of the new chain.
Women aged 25 and up will be the target market of the new stores, which will carry womenswear, menswear and accessories delivered daily, she said.
"This type of concept does not exist currently," in Canada, Arts said. "The way we're going to be showcasing our product and curating it when it comes in the store, it's going to be an interesting and fun environment for the consumer to shop in."
Nordstrom Inc., the Seattle-based department store chain, announced it will open as many as nine locations in Canada starting in 2014. Canadian competitor Hudson's Bay Co. plans to go public to help finance its turnaround.
Holt's foray into the lower end of the market will also be met by Target Corp. from Minneapolis when it enters Canada next year. Nordstrom operates a similar second chain in the U.S. called Nordstrom Rack where merchandise from Nordstrom department stores is sold at discount.
Holt's new chain will carry new clothing by the same brands featured in the department stores at a lower price, rather than aged product sold at a discount, said Arts.
Holt Renfrew, in business since 1837, was bought by W. Galen and Hilary Weston in 1986. Galen Weston is the chairman of George Weston Ltd., the bakery company that also controls Loblaw Cos. Ltd., the country's biggest grocery store chain.

Catch users' eye with a bold and catchy headline. Many times, on social media sites, the headline is all people see when you post. The headline should be titillating enough that they feel compelled to click through to read the full post. An intriguing headline can get you noticed! SOcial media is very popular, but that does not mean you should enter the fray head-first with no plan or safety net. Explore each site you plan to join, learn how they work, see how competitors are using them, and adjust your own social media marketing plan accordingly. Coming to the medium from an educated point of view and specific goals will keep you from flailing about randomly and helplessly.
Make a profile on Twitter and Facebook, and be sure to use your business name. That will make it easier for your customers to find you through a search, allowing you to build a solid follower base. It doesn't matter whether or not you intend to begin social media marketing immediately; securing the right name will make you better prepared when you do launch a marketing effort.
Try creating an account on Yahoo and search through Yahoo answers. Users submit their questions here and other users can answer them for free. You can usually find questions that relate to your niche in some way, and this will allow you to create an answer that will include a mention for your product. Cultivating a reputation for knowledgeable responses on certain subjects will serve you well.
People will not be aware of you in the social media world if you have no visitors to your profile or if you have really bad content. Take your time when you are writing and editing your information to make sure it is very useful and interesting. Captivating headlines, as well as sub-headlines, can be included as that final touch. If your company maintains a blog, you should make certain that updates to the blog are announced on the various social media websites that your company participates in. This will notify followers of your social media sites, and that they should check out the new content you have posted. Social media is a great tool to build trust and relationships with your customers. When marketing your business on social media, you have to be honest and always communicate with your customers. Listen to what they are saying and learn from it. You are not giving up control of your business to them, but you can learn from what they are saying and adjust your business to be more consumer friendly.
The holidays may be a big time of the year, but don't use the opportunity in the wrong way. It isn't the best phase to test out new theories or gamble with a big risk. Stick to your proven guns and utilize them in a more customer-friendly manner. You will have all year to plan out a strategy for the next holiday season.
Your company's social media profile can be used as a way to distribute freebies, discounts and other promotions. Everyone loves a freebie, so this is a great way to get more people on social media sites to follow you. You just need to decide on something that you can offer in large quantities, and be sure to end the offer when you run out of product. Facebook Places allow users to check-in using their cell phone. Establish a business Facebook Place. One way to encourage your followers to keep their status updated is to give them a discount for doing so. Foursquare is another popular networking site that can help you to promote your business.
If you are starting a new business, you need to have a solid business plan and a strategy for marketing your new business. You can do this by learning the best methods of using social media marketing.
Be sure to make it easy for your potential customers to get involved with you in social media with as little effort on their part as possible. If a visitor is expected to provide personal data and take a survey at the very beginning of going to your website, they are going to hit the back button several times and go somewhere else. By making the first things they do simple and going from there, they'll be gradually introduced to your company, which will increase the chances that they won't leave. Find ways to help your followers share your page. You need to always place the Facebook share icon at the beginning of you posts. Take the time to create content people will want to share on Facebook. Use your business's name to set up accounts on social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook. That will secure the name for you alone, so that no one else can use it for purposes that might harm your business. Even if you aren't ready to begin using the account, you will have your name secured for when you are. Keep customers interested in you by not having them jump through hoops when first visiting your site. Consumers are busy and often do not have time to answer detailed surveys or supply large amounts of information immediately upon entering your site. You also risk losing their trust if you ask for too much right away. If you give the customer an easier, friendlier first impression, he is more likely to want to stay on your site and buy from you. If you utilize social media websites in order to promote your business, you should refrain from submitting new content more than two or three times per day. Many clients are turned off by frequent posts, and may go elsewhere for similar services. Try limiting your posts to a total of three informative, relevant and interesting items per day.

Rock Reads
Review by Adam Perry
Sam Cutler You Can't Always Get What You Want: My Life With the Rolling Stones, the Grateful Dead and Other Wonderful Reprobates (Random House)
In his autobiography, Sam Cutler—tour manager for The Rolling Stones and the Grateful Dead in their raucous heydays—seems coy about the path his life took after splitting with the Dead about 35 years ago. But it's obvious that a lengthy hangover must've ensued. From snorting cocaine with Janis Joplin to dropping acid with Jimi Hendrix to chugging Southern Comfort with the Dead's Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, Cutler spent his time as "rock 'n' roll nanny" in the company of some seriously self-centered and out-of-control stars, nearly matching their risky behavior and living to tell the tale. Just be careful—you may not be a fan of some of your favorite classic rockers after reading this.

Listening to the variety of compositions penned by guitarist Ila Cantor, you get the sense that she is as comfortable in Brooklyn's new music scene as she would have been filling in for Charlie Christian at Minton's, that Manhattan crucible of bebop, in the '40s. Then again, she might have been equally at home subbing for Barry Melton, Country Joe and the Fish's lead guitarist, at San Francisco's Fillmore in '67.

Willy J and the Storytellers CD Release Show
Despite having a name that might suggest Americana, Willy J and the Storytellers plays lively and cathartic alternative rock, and the members cite acts like Pearl Jam, Incubus, Rage Against the Machine and Oasis as influences—smells like '90s revival. The band's front man, a shaggy-haired painter from Montana by way of Tennessee, says the name suits the quartet. "Our songs are stories," says Willy J, "and the songs I like the most are the ones that do have a story behind them."

Some basic info;
Evox was up to date at 3935. I'm not 100% sure, but I have a xenium chipped installed, I can pop off the case to check if that's relevant. I had bought this xbox from my friend, and I have little experience with installing evox/dash. He told me up front that the ethernet port was fried (or the network card), so I can't FTP to my xbox, but at the time I was just going to use the xbox to backup my games. The evox.ini was also edited to NOT include the trainer sub menu.
Recently I wanted to install some trainers (as wells as some ROMs). I read in the trainer forum that I needed to edit the evox.ini to the original file to access the trainer menu (as wells as the emulator menu). So I downloaded the latest Evolution X Build 3935 from xbin, unzipped the entire contents, and burned both the entire Evox file(specifically only wanted the evox.ini), trainers, and ROMs to a CD using Qwix and Nero.
My plan was to use xbmc to simply copy the ROMs, trainers, and the original evox.ini file to my hd from the CD. I was able to successfully transfer both the ROMs and trainers to my HD. I just accessed the emulators through xbmc, and was successful in being able to load and play the ROMs.
Before I copied the original evox.ini I copied the current evox.ini and just transferred it to my f:drive. Thinking if anything went wrong I could just simply copy it back.
I copied the original evox.ini from the CD to my HD, and reset the xbox. However now the Evox dash doesn't load at all. The Xbox screen comes up with the Evox logo in the top left, and after a few seconds "Microsoft" appears under the xbox logo per usual, but then it simply resets and does it all again. I've left the xbox on as long as five minutes, and it continues to reset every few seconds.
So I guess my question is what did I do wrong ? Was it incorrect thinking I could just simply copy the original evox.ini ? I am sure it was the same evox version, as I distinctly remember seeing the '3935' on my dash. Should I have also copied the evoxdash.xbe file ?
I'm assuming the solution would to simply reinstall Evox using a boot disk or slayer (like I said before no experience with this, but I can learn fast). I don't have a problem with that (yet). But if I reinstalled Evox would I lose everything on my HD ? Also, to complicate matters more; my xbox is a 300gig HD. I know my friend had ran into problems before with the xbox recognizing the full 300 gigs. I backup my games to either G:drive or the f:drive (one had about 80 gigs left, the other 110). Would reinstalling Evox complicate this more ?

because your xbox is chipped this want be a problem.
just download slayers and burn it to disc,then in the menu choose change startup dash,then choose install evox on upgraded dash.
or you can of course choose another dash like unleashx or avalaunch.just make sure when you select your dash that it is the upgraded dash option.
and this will not affect your xbox hdd as long as you just choose the change startup dash option.

I set some custom post type with their custom taxonomies, both hierarchical and not.
There's a way to get the "tag" like taxonomy ('hierarchical' => false) to be ordered by the "adding"?
I mean:
I enter B to the tag list, and then i enter A to the tag list.
WP will show them in an alphabetic order ignoring which term i've inserted first.
So i will have on the front page A and then B.
But i've entered B before A and i would like to have them show in the order like i entered them: B and then A.
Is that possibile in a someway?
Thank you!

The 22-year-old handed the Midlands club a major boost when he withdrew a transfer request and agreed a new deal until 2017.
The striker netted 19 goals as Villa escaped the drop last term and Petrov believes Benteke could make all the difference in the coming campaign.
He said: "It's a big boost. The way he performed last season, the way he played, if Villa had lost him, they would probably be in bigger trouble.
"Keeping him is just great. All the fans, the players, the manager, everybody is happy that Christian is staying at the club.
"He has shown unbelievable potential. He is still a young boy and he still has a lot to learn.
"But, if he plays the way he played last season, Villa will finish very, very high this season."

Microsoft patents biometrics-sensing control pad
A Microsoft patent filed in 2009 but granted this week shows a pretty neat controller idea. Sensors on the body of the control pad measure various uniquely identifying features, like the shape of the fingers and firmness of grip, to crete a signature for each user. Imagine picking up the pad and being logged into your Xbox 360 profile – and even better, keeping your save-file-deleting siblings out. Looks neat. Probably won't happen.

This song made me lol. Especially when I hear the background parts. The squeaking and stuff. I don't know what is is about vibraphones that makes them seem creepy. I've used them for that same feel. Anyway, you really set the mood with this song.

Thank you sir! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I animated a flash to this last night, actually, and it came out well.

Three men accused of burglarizing an Amarillo home were arrested Wednesday after returning to the scene of the crime, police said today.
Witnesses saw the men loading a TV into a green Cadillac from a home on the 2000 block of N.Osage Street about 1:10 p.m. and contacted authorities, police said.
Police were able to locate and stop a Cadillac matching witness descriptions a few minutes later, police said. As officers spoke to the men in the car, they noticed a large television, a DVD player and other items matching those described by witnesses in the back seat. Upon questioning the suspects, police learned they had reportedly broken into the house, left earlier and were spotted by witnesses when they returned for more items, authorities said.
A 21-year-old man and two 17-year-olds were taken into custody and booked into the Potter County Correction Center on burglary charges, police said. They are awaiting arraignment.
The stolen property was returned to the rightful owner, police said.

Little Bee (MP3 CD)
February 2009 Indie Next List
"Little Bee -- this novel's small but powerful narrator -- begins her story as a Nigerian refugee in England who is looking for a British couple whom she met during a horrific episode in Nigeria -- a moment that unleashes a chain of events that will make you smile, cry, think, and, ultimately, pray for the best in humanity to win."
— Valerie Koehler, Blue Willow Bookshop, Houston, TX
February 2010 Indie Next List
"This stunning and compassionate novel brings faraway places near and makes incredible experiences real. From London to Nigeria, you'll grip the book tightly in your hands and hold its characters close to your heart: a young girl, a tormented idealistic journalist, and a fearless mother whose pierce love is a wonder."
— Mark David Bradshaw, Watermark Books, Wichita, KS
May 2010 Indie Next List
"This is one of the few books I've read that I couldn't put down. The story is brilliant and powerful. The two main characters are Little Bee, a Nigerian refugee, and Sarah, an British magazine editor whose life is thrown into turmoil by Little Bee's arrival. With some incredible ruminations on immigration, grief, and the human spirit, Chris Cleave weaves a story you will never forget."
— Stephanie Walker, The Boulder Book Store, Boulder, CO
British couple Andrew and Sarah O'Rourke, vacationing on a Nigerian beach in a last-ditch effort to save their faltering marriage, come across Little Bee and her sister, Nigerian refugees fleeing from machete-wielding soldiers intent on clearing the beach. The horrific confrontation that follows changes the lives of everyone involved in unimaginable ways. Two years later, Little Bee appears in London on the day of Andrew's funeral and reconnects with Sarah. Sarah is struggling to come to terms with her husband's recent suicide and the stubborn behavior of her four-year-old son, who is convinced that he really is Batman. The tenuous friendship between Sarah and Little Bee that grows, is challenged, and ultimately endures is the heart of this emotional, tense, and often hilarious novel. Considered by some to be the next Kite Runner, Little Bee is an achingly human story set against the inhuman realities of war-torn Africa. Wrenching tests of friendship and terrible moral dilemmas fuel this irresistible novel.

The Demons of Salem, With Us Still
By VICTOR NAVASKY
Published: September 8, 1996
WHEN ARTHUR MILLER'S drama ''The Crucible'' first opened on Broadway in 1953, the country was in a panic about the so-called Red Menace. On Nov. 27, the first American movie of ''The Crucible'' will have its premiere. To understand why it took 43 years to make this film -- not to mention its contemporary relevance -- it pays briefly to recall the red hunt that no longer beleaguers us.
Senator Joseph McCarthy, with his reckless charges of spies and ''comsymps,'' occupied the front pages, while behind the scenes J. Edgar Hoover, the director of the F.B.I., presided over and manipulated a vast internal security bureaucracy, issuing periodic bulletins intended to fan the flames of the domestic cold war.
In the center ring were the congressional inquisitor-investigators, asking ''Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?''
At the time, Mr. Miller and Tennessee Williams were regarded as the world's two foremost playwrights. But that lofty status was an invitation rather than an obstacle to the red-hunters who wanted to talk to Mr. Miller. In fact, when he was finally summoned to appear, the committee chairman, Representative Francis Walters, let Mr. Miller know that things might go easier for him if he persuaded his fiancee, Marilyn Monroe, to pose for a photograph with the chairman. Mr. Miller let that option lapse and was shortly indicted for contempt of Congress when he refused to answer the committee's questions about Communists he had known.
On the left, the hunt for subversives was routinely labeled a witch hunt, after the infamous Salem witch trials of the late 17th century. And so when ''The Crucible,'' set in Salem in 1692 but written in the overheated atmosphere of the domestic cold war, appeared, two questions were quickly asked: Was Mr. Miller's depiction of the inhabitants and events of 1692 Salem faithful to the original? And was the original an appropriate metaphor for McCarthyism?
It seems inevitable this time around that the two questions to be posed will be: Is the celluloid ''Crucible'' faithful to the play? And, since McCarthyism is long gone, what, if anything, does the movie have to say to an audience edging toward the millennium?
''I can't tell you the number of people who, when they heard we were making a major movie, asked, 'Well, what about the ending?' '' Mr. Miller said one day over the summer.
Unlike ''The Scarlet Letter'' last year, with its tacked-on Hollywood ending, the cinematic ''Crucible'' (starring Winona Ryder as the young Abigail Williams, Daniel Day-Lewis as the farmer John Proctor and Joan Allen as his repressed wife, Elizabeth) is true to the story line of the stage play.
Indeed, said Mr. Miller, ''One of the most persuasive moments of the film is when you see that rope tighten around Proctor's neck. That is a message -- the fact that he went down to the end and did not relent.''
On the historical front it was generally conceded when the play was written that Mr. Miller's research was accurate. His principal changes involved fusing some characters and raising the age of John Proctor's accuser, Abigail Williams, from 11 to 17 (to accommodate Mr. Miller's story of how a sexual liaison between Abigail and John was intertwined with the accusations of witchcraft against Proctor's wife).
But even before the play was written, Mr. Miller was denounced for his metaphor. He had stopped off at the home of his friend and colleague Elia Kazan, who had directed Mr. Miller's two previous prize-winning hits, ''All My Sons'' and ''Death of a Salesman,'' and who had been subpoenaed to appear before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (where he ultimately named names).
They went for a walk in the Connecticut woods and discussed Mr. Kazan's dilemma. On the one hand to be an informer was unpalatable, but on the other, as Mr. Kazan put it at the time, ''Secrecy serves the Communists.''
In his memoir ''Timebends,'' Mr. Miller wrote that he was half inside his car when Molly, Kazan's wife, ''came out and asked if I was staying at my house, half an hour away, and I said that I was on my way to Salem. She instantly understood what my destination meant, and her eyes widened in sudden apprehension and possible anger. 'You're not going to equate witches with this!' ''
Later, Mr. Kazan reported his wife's views in his own memoir, ''A Life.''
''What's going on here and now is not to be compared with the witch trials of that time,'' she said. ''Those witches did not exist. Communists do. Here and everywhere in the world. It's a false parallel. Witch hunt! The phrase would indicate that there are no Communists in government, none in the arts, none sending money from Hollywood to 12th Street.''
For me, the parallel worked. The term ''Communist'' had been so demonized that like the word ''witch'' it signified something that didn't really exist in its popular meaning. Certainly the entertainment community Communists like Mr. Kazan (and for a brief period, Mr. Miller himself, although he never fully joined the party) were not conscious agents of an international monolithic conspiracy to overthrow the Government by force and violence; they were, for the most part, do-gooders, who thought -- misguidedly, most of them later concluded -- that the Communist Party was the best agency to do something about the depression and racism at home and fascism abroad.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
During a year marked by global financial recessions and uncertainty, one can look to the biotech industry—the bioprocessing sector in particular—as a bright spot, with manufacturers of bioreactor and fermentor systems reporting continued strong growth.
Despite shifting fortunes between some subsectors of the market, performance has, in general, been stable or on an upswing in both the conventional stainless steel and glass reusable reactor markets and in the evolving single-use sector. In fact, a comfortable balance seems to have been reached in which these technologies are concurrent rather than competitive and are jointly spurring growth in the overall market.
Vendors are expanding the range of options offered and the flexibility of systems, allowing users to experiment with different combinations of bioprocessing components for R&D through pilot-scale and commercial production, mixing and matching strategies and systems to find the best solution for a particular application.
"The market continues to grow," says Ken Clapp, senior product manager, single-use bioreactors, Xcellerex (part of GE Healthcare Life Sciences), and single-use and conventional re-usable systems continue to co-exist."
Although single-use cell culture is well-established, especially in process development, with use in production scale expanding, "there are certain processes today that cannot be run in single-use, for myriad reasons." At Xcellerex, product development has been driven largely by continuing demand for the company's FlexFactory® and XDR bioreactor products.
"Demand has been strong at all sizes. However, small- and large-scale systems have exceeded the middle range," says Clapp. "Demand at the two ends of the spectrum has been driven by single-use-based process successes across the globe. The small scale is also driven by customer pipelines, burgeoning with new therapeutic candidates. The increase at the large scale is the result of all the biologics that have come up from smaller scales and/or have transitioned from conventional."
"The debate between stainless or single use has reduced as the industry has gotten on with the business of implementing flexible single-use manufacturing process flows for volumes up to 1,000 liter," says Barney Zoro, product manager at TAP Biosystems. "For larger volumes, practical issues such as bag handling still favor larger stainless facilities for large-scale production."
"We clearly see growth in the single-use bioreactor area, higher than in the classical glass and stainless steel sector," says Christel Fenge, vp fermentation technologies at Sartorius Stedim Biotech.
"On top of the strong single-use growth, in 2011 we also saw quite significant growth in the benchtop systems, mainly driven by Asia—and in particular Korea, which is strongly investing in development programs for biosimilars that use large numbers of benchtop bioreactors operated in parallel—with nice contributions also from Europe and the U.S."
The company hopes to further boost benchtop systems sales through the recent introduction of its new generation of Biostat B process development bioreactors. The system can operate both traditional glass and single-use vessels equipped with optical pH and DO probes to minimize contamination risk associated with existing single-use benchtop systems.
"We believe the industry has not yet reached a plateau of growth in single-use bioreactors," she says. The sweet spot is in the 50–200 L and up to the 1,000 L scale. Fenge describes growing investments by CMOs and pharma companies that want to create multipurpose clinical trial facilities, moving products up from the evaluation stage; they are looking for technology that will help them achieve greater efficiency in product development, to accelerate changeover times, and to skip cleaning and related qualification steps in making clinical trials material.
"Some manufacturers are starting to adopt single-use technology for commercial manufacturing, but I think it is still the early days in that area," adds Fenge.
The entire single-use market has been growing about 15–20%/year and "is primarily being used for pilot–clinical scale production," reports Mani Krishnan, director of processing systems at EMD Millipore.
"Our customers are particularly interested in integrating fermenters or bioreactors from 10 L (seed) up to 1,000 L, 5,000 L, and more," says Doru Felezeu, marketing & business development director, Pierre Guerin.
"As a supplier of both technologies (traditional stainless steel and single-use equipment), we have observed a 'pause' in single-use investments due to the weaknesses of this technology in term of security of persons and products, scalability, and operation (a lot of manual operations are required versus a stainless steel full automated system)," says Felezeu. "However, depending on the process and application, some companies still invest in such technologies." He notes a trend toward increased mixing of traditional and single-use technologies.
Erik Kakes, international sales and marketing director, Applikon Biotechnology, reports substantial growth on the production-scale side in the Far East, particularly China and India, as well as a lot of investment in R&D systems in China as companies there increase their focus on internal product development.
"In Europe, we are seeing an increase in the single-use market, mirroring the growth we previously saw in North America. China is also looking in that direction," says Kakes.
Clapp of Xcellerex notes that "with more and more customers switching to or using single-use, they are expecting options analogous to those on conventional systems: e.g., exhaust condensers, foam management, more agitation choices, etc. The need to integrate more and better process analytical technologies has a big effect on single-use innovation. This has been a clear signal of single-use acceptance."
ATMI reports particularly strong market growth in the human therapeutic protein and veterinary vaccine sectors, where there is a strong trend toward single-use technologies. Cell therapies are another important growth area, and ATMI is focusing on optimizing the microenvironment in which the cells grow, including shear force and mass transfer of oxygen, to improve reactor efficiency with an increasingly smaller footprint.
"The market values innovation for improved efficiency while also asking for a standardization of technologies," says Jeffery Craig, global director of business development and marketing at ATMI.
"Single-use technologies offer compelling value but are a long way from engineered standards such as connectivity of one technology to another, vessel design, or the interchangeability of one unit operation with another. These types of standards tend to evolve later in the industrial cycle of manufacturing technologies. Importantly, standards that involve patient safety such as leachable and extractable profiles are evolving more quickly.
"I think it's interesting that there is a debate about whether standards stifle innovation or drive industrialization," Craig says. "The industry needs to put its collective heads together to industrialize like the microelectronics sector, for example. Experience shows that standards help industries to grow, and I assure you that we can expect ongoing innovation by driving standardization."
Customers want single-use systems that are easier and more reliable to implement, and that offer the types of options and advances they've come to expect with reusable processing equipment, according to Krishnan of EMD Millipore. The key goal is to make the technology easier to use.
Whereas with conventional systems the main difficulty is cleaning, preset protocols are well-established, and users already have years of experience doing this. "With single-use you are installing the single-use component for every batch. You are introducing new variables that the operators do not have a lot of experience with," says Krishnan. They have to install the components the correct way every time, and they are looking to the supplier to make that as easy as possible.
"Despite an increasing demand for single-use bioreactors, stainless steel and glass bioreactors are still our bread and butter business," says Fenge of Sartorius Stedim Biotech. The company recently introduced its Biostat D-DCU line of configurable stainless steel bioreactors up to 200 L volume. Options range from basic batch setup configurations that support advanced gassing and feeding strategies, clean-in-place, and automatic transfer of seed to a larger bioreactor or sterile harvest into a stainless steel vessel or single-use bag.
When it came to designing its single-use bioreactors, the company sought to design them as similar to existing stainless steel or glass systems as possible in terms of factors such as bioreactor geometry (height-to-diameter ratios, impeller-to-vessel diameter ratios, and impeller design, for example). The result is the company's stirred tank single-use bioreactor, the Biostat STR (50 L to 1,000 L) and Univessel SU (2 L), which are intended to provide seamless technology transfer from benchtop bioreactors to single-use pilot-scale systems, and from single-use to existing large-scale stirred tank facilities.

A FRAX model for Colombia was released June 30, 2010. This article describes the data used to develop the Colombian FRAX model and illustrates its features compared to other countries. Hip fracture cases aged 50 years or more who were referred to all hospitals serving the city of Barranquilla were identified prospectively over a 3-year period (2004–2006). Age- and sex-stratified hip fracture incidence rates were computed using the 2005 census. Present and future numbers of hip fracture cases in Colombia were calculated from the age- and sex-specific incidence and the national population demography. Mortality rates for 1999 were extracted from nationwide databases and used to estimate hip fracture probabilities. For other major fractures (clinical vertebral, forearm, and humerus), incidence rates were imputed, using Swedish ratios for hip to other major osteoporotic fracture, and used to construct the FRAX model. Incidence of hip fracture increased with age, more markedly in women than in men. Over all ages, the female to male ratio was 1.7. By extrapolation, there were estimated to be 7,902 new hip fracture cases (2,673 men, 5,229 women) in Colombia in 2010, which was predicted to increase to 22,720 cases (7,568 men, 15,152 women) in 2035. The 10-year probability of hip or major fracture was increased in patients with a clinical risk factor, lower BMI, female gender, a higher age, and a decreased BMD T score. The remaining lifetime probability of hip fracture at the age of 50 years was 2.5 and 4.7 % in men and women, respectively, which were lower than rates in a Mexican population (3.8 and 8.5 %, respectively) and comparable with estimates for Venezuela (2.4 and 7.5 %, respectively). The FRAX tool is the first country-specific fracture-prediction model available in Colombia. It is based on the original FRAX methodology, which has been externally validated in several independent cohorts. Despite some limitations, the strengths make the Colombian FRAX tool a good candidate for implementation into clinical practice.

The decision to get married, as well as choosing whom to marry, is of the utmost importance to most people. This decision consists of many amoral considerations, but an ethical relationship arises when a promise is made, especially a vow that binds for a lifetime and affects oneself, one's spouse, one's children, and society. This essay provides an account of ideal romantic marriage, arguing that John Stuart Mill's On Liberty provides an excellent foundation for constructing such an account. Neither dead dogma nor living truth is a healthy model for marriage, so a hybrid model of marriage, living dogma, is developed. The importance of the marital vow becomes apparent as the living dogma account is revealed, and this examination yields a model for how to decide when and whom to marry.

Suppose I have a list of a couple of thousand organizations and a user needs to be able to select one of them. The list is too large to populate in a dropdown at page load, and the user often knows what they want but it's not the first part of the organization name. That is, they know "Collections" but not that the precise name of the organization is "Department of Collections". So the user will need/want to type in some information.
It's easy enough to use an autocompleting textbox of some kind, but I don't want to allow the user to type in random text - they have to choose one of the organizations explicitly.
