Choi, YS, Ho, CH, Ahn, MH, Kim, YS (2005). Enhancement of the consistency of MODIS thin cirrus with cloud phase by adding 1.6 mu m reflectance. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF REMOTE SENSING, 26(21), 4669-4680.
AbstractOptically thin cirrus derived from the Moderate- resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument is examined in connection with its cloud phase (ice crystal or liquid droplet) for quasi-single layer thin cirrus (either single-layer thin cirrus or thin cirrus overlying low-level thin clouds) over water surface conditions. Analysing 142 MODIS data samples during the period 1-16 March 2000, it is found that only about 20% of MODIS thin cirrus having a total-column cloud optical depth less than 2.0 was detected as ice phase. In the present study, MODIS cloud phase datasets are newly reproduced by adding the 1.6 mu m reflectance to an existing infrared trispectral algorithm of MODIS which used the 8.7, 11 and 12 mm bands. The percentage of ice phase in the thin cirrus is estimated at about 80% when new cloud phase is incorporated. The increase is found for all regions, in particular in mid-latitudes.

The Scarlet Letter
by Nathaniel Hawthorne
The Scarlet Letter Guilt and Blame Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
She had wandered, without rule or guidance, in a moral wilderness; as vast, as intricate and shadowy, as the untamed forest, amid the gloom of which they were now holding a colloquy that was to decide their fate. (18.2)
Living with her guilt for seven years has taught Hester a thing or two about life—like, if your community just wants to blame you, maybe they don't have all the answers. Coincidentally, at this moment we see Hester in the middle of a literal forest as well as a metaphorical one.
Quote #8
And be the stern and sad truth spoken, that the breach which guilt has once made into the human soul is never, in this mortal state, repaired. It may be watched and guarded; so that the enemy shall not force his way again into the citadel, and might even, in his subsequent assaults, select some other avenue, in preference to that where he had formerly succeeded. But there is still the ruined wall, and, near it, the stealthy tread of the foe that would win over again his unforgotten triumph. (18.4)
Once guilty, always guilty. That's the kind of idea that leads to hit musicals and unstable communities. Without a concept of forgiveness and redemption, it's too easy to keep on sinning.
Quote #9
The stigma gone, Hester heaved a long, deep sigh, in which the burden of shame and anguish departed from her spirit. O exquisite relief! She had not known the weight, until she felt the freedom! (18.11-12)
So, it is the letter that makes Hester feel guilty—or does she actually accept the blame for her actions? Here, it seems like all the guilt and blame are sewn up into the letter. When she takes it off, she takes off the guilt as well.

April 20 vs. Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre
Time: 7:00 p.m.
TV: Comcast SportsNet
Radio: 106.7 The Fan/Capitals Radio Network
Washington Capitals (24-18-2)
Montreal Canadiens (27-12-5)
Washington reaches the end of its road schedule for the 2012-13 season on Saturday night when it faces the Canadiens in Montreal in a Hockey Night in Canada match-up.
The Caps are coming in on the heels of a 3-1 loss to the Senators in Ottawa on Thursday night, a setback that halted Washington's winning streak at eight games and also quelled the Caps' streak of road games with at least a point at eight (7-0-1).
The Caps got a healthy taste of why Ottawa is so strong on home ice; the Sens ran their record at Scotiabank Place to 15-3-3 with the win over the Caps. Ottawa was stifling in the neutral zone, strong on pucks and it used its speed to pressure the Caps in their own end. Washington was unable to break out of its zone cleanly, and the Caps too frequently flipped pucks to space instead of making plays because they didn't have the time and space needed to make those plays.
"First of all, I think they're very disciplined and they're well coached," says Caps forward Matt Hendricks of the Senators. "You can tell that right away. No matter who is on the ice for them, they run their routes well and they run their system very well. They made it difficult on us. We ended up flipping pucks, at times when usually we can make a play or our defensemen can make a play, that wasn't there tonight.
"We were flipping pucks. Subsequently the forwards had to stop moving our feet, we didn't have the speed that would carry us in on the forecheck. They just frustrated us, gave us a little bit of a thorn in our side where we couldn't get our wheels going. We just keep spinning or stopping and starting, and they were able to transition on us because of it."
The Caps got out of synch early, taking a pair of minor penalties in the first 6:22 of the game that kept them from rolling four lines and getting everyone involved early.
"I think it's all about us," says Caps captain Alex Ovechkin of Thursday's loss. "We took two penalties right away in the first period and we weren't in the game right away. They didn't do anything special against us; we just didn't play our way. We made lots of mistakes in our zone. We turned over pucks lots of times and we missed pucks in the neutral zone.
Ottawa had 32 shot attempts to just seven for the Caps early in the second period, but Washington was never down more than a goal until Kyle Turris' empty-netter late in the contest.
"[Friday] morning we watched the video," says Ovechkin, "and we still had plenty of chances to score goals. We didn't play well and it was still 2-1. We still had a chance to tie the game and get a point. It's tough when you lose a game like that but we just have to concentrate in different ways."
It's been quite a while since the Caps didn't play well and weren't in a game from virtually the start. The March 16 game at Boston is probably the most recent example of that. On Thursday, they didn't play well but they were in the game throughout.
Now the Capitals hope to use that loss as a wake-up call over the final four games of the season. They haven't sewn up anything in the way of a postseason berth, and while they still control their own destiny, Winnipeg does as well. The Caps hold a two-point lead over the Jets in the chase for the Southeast Division crown.
"We haven't clinched a playoff spot here," says Caps forward Jay Beagle. "We're still battling for our lives and for the postseason. Yeah, it was one game. But it is a wakeup call. We definitely have to be better and everyone knows it. It's one of those things where you've got to get right back at it. And it started [Friday] with a good, hard practice. It was quick and hard but it was high-tempo. That's what it starts with, and we'll go from there."
Caps center Nicklas Backstrom was hit on the arm with a Mike Green slapshot late in Thursday's game and he did not return. Backstrom did participate in Friday's practice at Bell Centre, and he seemed none the worse for wear. He is expected to be in the lineup for Saturday's tilt against the Habs.
Washington is now 11-10-2 on the road for this season, so Saturday's game against will determine whether the Caps conclude the campaign with a road points percentage of .500 or better.
The Caps downed the Habs early last week, taking a 3-2 decision from the Canadiens at Bell Centre on March 9. Including that contest, Montreal is 2-4-0 in its last six games.
Most recently, the Canadiens wrested a 3-2 home ice game from the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday, grabbing the two points when Brian Gionta scored the game-winner in the final minute of regulation. In each of its three games immediately prior to Thursday, Montreal allowed five or more goals and the goaltender who started the game did not finish it.
Carey Price stopped 32 of the 34 shots he faced against the Lightning and the Habs hope that game puts him back on the beam.
Montreal appears to be getting a bit healthier down the stretch, too. Forward Colby Armstrong and defenseman Raphael Diaz are getting close to returning to the lineup, and both could play as soon as Saturday night against Washington.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma City police say the man who was shot and killed by an off-duty Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper during an apparent attempted robbery at the trooper's home was a state prison escapee. Police said Monday that Trooper John Marion shot and killed 22-year-old Anthony Darnell King of Tulsa about 6:45 p.m. Friday after King walked into Marion's open garage, pointed a gun at the trooper and asked for his belongings. Police say Marion led King to the home's second floor where the trooper used his gun to shoot King and that King died later at a hospital. Online state prison records show King was in prison for assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a stolen vehicle. Marion is on paid leave pending an investigation into the shooting.

NEW DELHI: Yet again the outsourcing myth has been busted. Even as US Presidential Democrat hopeful John Kerry learns to accept outsourcing as a reality after having vociferously attacked it, experts reaffirm that there is not much to lose sleep over the after effects of outsourcing.
In an election year, the rise of economics tinged with nationalist issues assumes importance in any democracy and the US is no exception. But, experts feel that the brouhaha over the movement of jobs overseas and the reactions it has evoked are overstretched and there is no reason to fret over "outsourcing," "offshoring," and the other scare words.

Jindal Steel Acquires Canada's CIC Energy
By Saurabh Chaturvedi
NEW DELHI — Jindal Steel & Power Wednesday said it has acquired CIC Energy Corp. for $115 million and will make up to $700 million investment in the Canadian company's coal mines in Botswana and in setting up a power project in the African nation in two-three years.
The deal highlights Jindal Steel's need to secure raw material for its businesses ranging from steel production to electricity generation and its keenness to tap the electricity market of southern Africa.
The acquisition of CIC, which has coal mines with estimated reserves of 6.0 billion metric tons, comes at a time when Indian companies are looking overseas for resources, especially of coal which is in short supply in the South Asian nation.
Indian companies such as Coal India Ltd., Adani Enterprises Ltd. and Jindal Steel own mineral assets overseas and are continuously looking for buyout opportunities including in the African continent where resources can still be bagged cheaply.
The business opportunities in building infrastructure including that of power in the African continent also attract attention of companies from across the globe.
"It is part of our strategy to own resources to meet our future raw-material needs," Director Sushil Maroo said. "Power-business opportunity also brings us here [Botswana] as you are aware the transmission network is integrated in this African region."
The deal has received the approval of CIC's shareholders and the government in Botswana. Mr. Maroo said Jindal Steel will soon de-list CIC from the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Jindal Steel continues to be "resource hungry," he said "You don't get resources in India these days."
Jindal Steel has already acquired stakes in coal mines in South Africa, Mozambique, Australia and Indonesia.
Getting licenses to tap natural resources is difficult in India, especially after a series of corruption allegations targeting the government's allocation processes and opposition from environmentalists. In the coal sector, the federal audition has recently said the processes followed to allocate mines had deprived the government about $33 billion in potential revenue.
India now plans to bring in new policy to auction coal blocks for industrial uses. Auctioning is likely to make domestic coal expensive, prompting Indian companies to tap African resources that are comparatively cheaper and rich in quality.
Mr. Maroo said the company is looking at opportunities to buy iron-ore and coking-coal mines overseas and would also look at setting up a project in Botswana to convert coal into liquid fuels.
Jindal Steel aims to produce about 2.5 million metric tons of coal from the mines there to run the proposed 300 megawatt power plant.
It is also interested in a 1,200 MW project in South Africa.
The company is looking at exporting coal from Botswana and setting up of facilities to transport the dry fuel outside that country.
Jindal Steel currently runs a 3.0 million ton steel plant in India and has plans to increase the local capacity manifold. It also has a power generation capacity of 1,000 MW, which it plans to boost.

Aglite Lidar: A Portable Elastic Lidar System for Investigating Aerosol and Wind Motions at or Around Agricultural Production Facilities. Journal of Applied Remote Sensing (JARS). 3:033511. [doi:10.1117/1.3097928] Interpretive Summary: Detection of particulates in the atmosphere has been measured with either filters that are weighed after exposure to a given air flow or optical particle counters. These sensors measure the particulates at a given point; however, single point measurements are difficult to estimate the dynamics of the particulate plume. Particulates are easily measured with light and a light detection and ranging (lidar) system was developed to measure the aerosol concentration with three wavelengths. This system has been deployed in different evaluation studies around different agricultural facilities and it was found that this type of particulate detection is sensitive to particulate concentrations. This type of measurement method allows for a rapid measurement of particulate concentrations at different locations within the plume. This information provides valuable information for scientists and air quality specialists to understand the dynamics of plume dispersion from agricultural operations.
Technical Abstract: The Aglite Lidar is a portable scanning lidar that can be quickly deployed at agricultural and other air quality study sites. The purpose of Aglite is to map the concentration of PM10 and PM2.5 in aerosol plumes from agricultural and other sources. Aglite uses a high-repetition rate low-pulse energy 3-wavelength YAG laser with photon-counting detection together with a steerable pointing mirror to measure aerosol concentration with high spatial and temporal resolution. Aglite has been used in field campaigns in Iowa, Utah and California. The instrument is described, and performance and lidar sensitivity data are presented. The value of the lidar in aerosol plume mapping is demonstrated, as is the ability to extract wind-speed information from the lidar data.

Motorcycle salespeople on average asked prospective customers for their contact information only 45 percent of the time during a recent nine-month period, according to the 2009 Pied Piper Prospect Satisfaction Index study. Sounds bad, right? But it's actually an improvement over the previous year's study in which salespeople asked only 38 percent of time. Dealership staff members seem to be improving in other areas as well, the study reported.
Conducting the research was California-based Pied Piper Management Co., a five-year-old research company that, in addition to its main work in the automotive industry, provides sales-and-marketing consulting services to Honda, Ducati, Victory and individual dealerships. It says it hired 2,100 professional secret shoppers to visit 844 dealerships nationwide between July 2008 and March 2009.
Pied Piper has done the study three years in a row. In 2007 the company hired secret shoppers to visit 375 dealerships during a much shorter period: between November 2006 and January 2007. That year (as in every year since) shoppers filled out a survey of more than 50 yes-or-no questions and wrote comments. Pied Piper collected all the information, weighted the value of each yes/no question according to a proprietary system, weighted the value of each OEM by sales volume, then set the industry average to 100, ranking each brand in relation to it.
Last year, Pied Piper hired people to secret-shop 830 dealerships between July 2007 and March 2008 (the same months as this year). The industry average did not change in relation to the previous year.
This year, the industry average did increase a bit, to 101 in relation to the 2007 average. The OEMs also moved around in the rankings. See the bar chart below for details on all three years.
In a press release announcing the 2009 study, Pied Piper noted the following:
- Overall motorcycle industry performance improved from 2008 to 2009, with 11 of the 15 major brands achieving higher PSI (Prospect Satisfaction Index — what the company calls the scores in relation to the 2007 average).
- Ducati dealers led all brands in 30 percent of sales process factors evaluated by the study, including the ability to answer product questions, offering test rides, offering brochures and asking for the sale.
- Harley-Davidson dealers held on to the highest ranking for 20 percent of the sales process factors, including taking time to determine how a motorcycle will be used, and addressing features and benefits specific to the prospect's wants and needs.
- Buell, BMW, MV Augusta and Victory each led multiple sales process areas.
- BMW salespeople ranked first for greeting prospects promptly, for making the special order process easy, and for mentioning the availability of accessories.
- In comparison with the previous year's results, motorcycle salespeople were 11 percent more likely to introduce themselves, 8 percent more likely to ask follow-up questions, and 13 percent more likely to encourage a prospect to sit on a bike.
- Dealers who improved their PSI scores by 10 percent or more from 2007 to 2008 on average saw their retail sales increase 9 percent during the same time period, while dealers for whom PSI dropped by 10 points or more on average saw their retail sales drop 6 percent over the same time period.
- Dealerships whose salespeople asked for contact information at least two-thirds of the time retailed 29 percent more motorcycles than those who did not.
- Dealerships whose salespeople offered test rides at least three-quarters of the time retailed 43 percent more motorcycles than those who did not.
- On average, motorcycle salespeople offer test rides only 23 percent of the time.
Dealers can pay Pied Piper to secret-shop their own store. The cost is $99 per salesperson evaluation, and the information is collected and viewed using a Web-based program. Learn more at www.piedpiperpsi.com.

all! Nothing else. It would be very pleased if anyone can tell me some

Konak Turkish RestaurantEaten by Elizabeth Halen at 4:44 PM
I'd been wanting to try Konak for a while, and then I saw another food blogger's review earlier this month. I hadn't experienced a Turkish restaurant before, but understood it to be Mediterranean/North African, both cuisines my roommate and I love. She was the perfect companion on this adventure.
Located close to 2nd and Vine, Konak is easy to find, and even provides free parking to restaurant customers.
I had a cocktail called a Seabreeze which I enjoyed a lot. Cranberry and Grapefruit juice are mixed with raspberry vodka. Yummy.
Alison is a hummus connoisseur, she loves the stuff. On any given day there is a 99.9% chance of a tub of hummus residing in our fridge. I really only like the hummus we make at home, but I liked this hummus a lot. Unfortunately, we both agreed, no hummus has yet to compare to Dimitri's down on 3rd and Catherine. Konak's hummus is smooth and garlicky, but was a bit heavy on the tahini.
We also started with the Sigara Borek, which I'd seen featured at Farofa and French Fries, a deep fried Fillo dough tube filled with parsley and Turkish feta cheese. In comparison to Greek feta, Turkish feta is smoother, creamier and a little less salty. We both loved this dish. Seriously, I could have eaten two whole orders by myself.
I'd also read good things about the lamb chops, so I urged Alison to order them. They came with an odd looking potato, carved to resemble a pear. Other than the funny shape, there was nothing spectacular about the potato. The chops were cooked perfectly and tasted very good.
I opted for a mixed grill of chicken kebab, lamb kebab with cherry tomatoes, gyro on pita, and rice. The chicken and lamb kebab were very good, moist, and not over cooked. The gyro was very dry and rather chewy. Quite possibly some of the worst I've had, and absolutely no competition to Katie's. The rice was also flavorful, and cumulatively, I enjoyed my dinner.
For the menu prices, I wouldn't expect to see leather coats and jewelry for sale in the bar, but hey, whatever.
I might venture back here for the hummus, or to have a drink in their attractive bar, but probably not for dinner.

- Z said...10:27 AMHey E- this is the first time I am reading your blog and much of it is quite entertaining...however I have to ask you, where did you ever hear that Konak was in Northern Liberties? Konak has always clearly stated that they are in Old City- I am curious to know where you got that piece of misinformation. Also I strongly recommend that you give them a second chance. Tuesday nights is the $2 dollar event where you can sample the entire menu- each plate is $2- and are still nice sized portions- for $10 you can be STUFFED. I also recommend trying the doner again-that you referred to as gyro- its Turkish not Greek so it is different than gyro but is usually quite good. I look forward to reading more of your posts.
- Anonymous said...9:29 AMhi! next time you get turkish food get yogurt kabob - it's sooo good- pide bread layered with tomato sauce, doner kabob and a garlic yogurt sauce on top. beats regular old kabob and definitely not dry. plus it's more traditionally turkish than regular kabob which you can get anywhere.
- Anonymous said...10:17 PMI tried Konak twice, hoping that I would love it. I was born and raised in Turkey and know the food. I was disappointed both times.

Two Problems
Problem 1: My friend's grandma(who lives with her family) has been diagnosed with lung, throat, and gum cancer. I'm friends with my friends mom as well, and she said that there is no hope of beating the cancer. My friend has no idea, she still believes that the doctors can eradicate the cancer. What can I do to help her, both now and when her grandma does die?
Problem 2: SInce Houston is close to the coast, we are at risk for a hurricane. How the heck do I make my friends/family care about preparation? We waited until Rita was 24 hours away before making any preparations 2 years ago. See my point?
:pray: for a solution,
Cassidy :XX:
Problem #1: I think, right now, the best thing you can do is be available for your friend. Let her know that you are a shoulder to lean on and an ear to talk to whenever she wants to or needs to. Maybe she'll want to talk about being afraid of her grandma's death, maybe about the cancer or the treatments, maybe she'll want to talk about some good memories, or maybe she'll want to talk about something that has absolutely nothing to do with "dealing" with the cancer. It doesn't matter, just be there for her and listen...don't push anything, she'll let you know what she needs.
And for you--this sounds like you're close with the family and will probably be an upsetting situation for you, so find someone to talk to yourself. Including us here at KH!
You mention that you know the Grandma's cancer is terminal but that your friend does not...maybe you should talk with the mom about that. I think it's the mom's place to inform your friend, you shouldn't be burdened with that.
Problem #2: Hmmm, I dunno really. You could go about organizing an emergency kit yourself to satisfy your own mind though.
I solved the problem by moving to Arizona - and wouldn't you know, 2 Pacific hurricanes drenched us the first year here!! But we didn't have full blown hurricanes.
I lived through Alicia in '83 and swore I would NEVER go through another one. Rita was a mess (I had already left) - I knew a lot of folks who sat on the highway for hours and hours in that one, and Houston itself saw little-to-no hurricane activity in Rita. That just makes people let their guard down, and when another Alicia (or Allison - just a tropical storm but what incredible flooding!!!) comes, they won't be ready.
Make a pact with yourself to get out of Houston when a hurricane starts making it's way there - leave anyone who won't go. Houston is not New Orleans - it won't be the same disaster that was Katrina just because it isn't the same geographical problem. The worst part (after waiting for the storm to pass) is being without electricity for days or weeks in the worst time of the year for heat and humidity. (you could invest in a good generator now for that eventuality)
Good luck.
re: emergency preparedness
Since I live in the suburbs of the Nation's Capital (Wash DC) there is lots of talk about being prepared for some sort of emergency, be it hurricane, or attack.
The most reasonable advice I've seen from the "experts" includes: have at least 3 weeks of your prescriptions at hand. have cash (hidden) so you don't have to depend on ATM's. make an emergency kit of food/ water (enough for each family member for 3 days) and one of batteries, flashlights, bandaids etc. Have recent maps, and look up alternate routes out that don't include major interstates. Have a radio + batteries or one of those hand crank radios you can get at camping supply stores. Have a plan for your pet.
having some sort of plan will ease your mind.
and about your friend's g/ma- I'm so sorry- just hang in there and be there for your friend...

Memorial Health System is making a huge investment in the Mid-Ohio Valley that should make everyone confident about the future.
Memorial broke ground Thursday for the expansion of its Belpre Medical Campus on Farson Street. It's the third phase of Memorial's expansion plan. Memorial is committing $25 million for a new 57,000-square-foot facility. It will have a freestanding, fully functional emergency room that will be open around the clock.
Twenty patient exam rooms, imaging services and a full medical laboratory will be included along with emergency transportation.
The addition will be staffed with 50 employees.
With demand rising for emergency services at Memorial's Marietta ER's, the Belpre campus adds to the potential help available to people, according to Marietta Memorial CEO Scott Cantley. The Belpre campus will mean critical care will be closer to home for many in western Washington County.
Understandably, Belpre Mayor Mike Lorentz is happy to see Memorial's investment.
We'd like to add our voice to the chorus praising Memorial's commitment to growth and future of health care in our community. The health system is taking an active role in providing top-notch medical services in Washington County, and is backing it up with major spending to accomplish its goals.

Definition of cola nut in English:
cola nut
(also kola nut)
The seed of the cola tree, which contains caffeine and is chewed or made into a drink.
Example sentences
- In Latin America, S. chicha has seeds which are used as a substitute for cola 'nuts' and are also reputed to taste like chocolate - not surprising since these trees belong to the same family as the cola nut and the cacao tree.
- Unoka brought out a kola nut for his guest and after some polite conversation about who should break the nut, Unoka finally did the honors with prayers to his ancestors for life, health, and protection from enemies.
- Once farmers can easily see the chemicals on their bodies and know how to apply them safely, they will be less likely to pop a kola nut into an open mouth with a contaminated hand or forget to wash off after spraying.

Admit it. One of the many reasons you love the World's Game is it affords you all kinds of crazy stories from all over the planet.
Check this one from the Associated Press all the way from Sao Paulo:
Two Brazilian soccer teams denied they are considering combatting the effects of playing at high altitudes during Copa Libertadores by using Viagra, a drug being studied by the World Anti-Doping Agency for its potential use as a performance enhancer.
The issue emerged this week when Brazilian reporters asked a Gremio trainer, Alarico Endres, about possibly using Viagra – the blue pill commonly associated with treating sexual dysfunction in men – during the South American championship.
Viagra, or sildenafil citrate, suppresses an enzyme that regulates blood flow and allows vessels to relax and widen. It also was used to treat pulmonary hypertension by relaxing the arterial wall.
In the case of athletes, increased cardiac output and more efficient transport of oxygenated fuel to the muscles can enhance endurance.
Catch the rest of the story here.
Well, now you know. Too funny.

Beware of Household Chemicals continued...
Here are some tips if your child's asthma is triggered by strong smells:
• Keep cleaning products out of your child's reach, and away from where your child can breathe in the fumes.
• When choosing soaps, shampoos, and detergents, look for those that are unscented or fragrance-free. However, these products may still contain some fragrance, so you'll still need to be careful.
• Make sure your child is not exposed to fumes from harsh cleaners. You can also look for nontoxic or all-natural options at the store or use hydrogen peroxide or white vinegar.
• Read the labels on all cleaning products and follow the directions.
• When using any type of household cleaner, open a window to allow fresh air into your home.
• Try to clean when your child is not at home, or when he's in another room.
• Don't wear perfumes or colognes.
• If you use art supplies, such as paints, inks or clays, keep them stored with the lids tightly closed when not being used. Chalk dust can also be an asthma trigger for some children.
• Don't use air fresheners or scented candles.
Asthma Triggers: Pets, Cockroaches, and Mold
Many kids with asthma also have allergies to pets, bugs, and mold, which are common asthma triggers. If your child is allergic, you can reduce your child's exposure to these triggers by following these tips:
• Keep pets off of furniture, beds, and carpets, where their fur or dander can build up. And don't let pets sleep in your child's bedroom.
• Make sure your child washes his hands and face after playing with pets.
• Wash sheets and other bedding in hot water at least once a week to limit dust mites. You can also cover pillows and mattresses with special dust-proof covers.
• Limit your use of pesticide sprays when you can. Keep cockroaches out of your home by keeping food in airtight containers or in the fridge and keeping your trash tightly covered. Seal up any cracks where roaches can get in. Use baits and traps to kill roaches. If you do use spray pesticides, keep your child out of the area for several hours after spraying.
• Prevent mold by repairing any leaks or areas of excess moisture in your home, and by replacing any moldy carpets or ceiling tiles.
• Open windows or use exhaust fans when cooking or showering to help prevent mold.

Cleaner Toyota Avensis on sale now
Friday 02 December 2011
• 61.4mpg economy
• 119g/km of CO2 emissions
• Better to drive
The 2012 Toyota Avensis is now on sale, with lower running costs thanks to improved economy and lower emissions.
Pick of the line-up is the 2-litre D-4D model, managing 61.4mpg – a 15 per cent improvement on the pre-facelift car.
Emissions have dropped from 139 to 119g/km of CO2, making road tax free in the first year and easily affordable thereafter. It has a Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) car tax rating of 17 per cent. The most economical Mazda6 and Honda Accord both have a BIK rating of 20 per cent. The Volkswagen Passat and Ford Mondeo are even better, however, with 13 per cent BIK models available.
The 2-litre has 124bhp and Toyota says it is quieter and smoother than before. Changes to the design of the engine, cooling and tyres have all contributed to the improved efficiency.
Alternatively you can have a 1.8-litre petrol (manual or CVT automatic) or the 2.2-litre D-4D engines from the previous model.
Changes to the suspension and extra noise insulation material should have enhanced refinement in the cabin. Toyota also claims the Avensis is now more rewarding to drive thanks to quicker and more direct steering. The front seats have been improved to offer more lateral support in corners.
Sat-nav is standard in the Avensis, while Toyota Touch & Go is also available for those who want to stay connected to their mobile phone.
On sale now, the Toyota Avensis is priced from £18,450 on the road.

Yorkshire Dales Walking Weekend
Organiser – Gary Box
Where – Bishopdale Valley Bunkhouse, Thoralby, Leyburn, North Yorkshire DL8 3TB
When – March 22nd-24th 2013 (Fri-Sun)
Cost – £63.50 (includes 2 nights accommodation and guided walks)
We will leave London Friday evening for the drive north which should take about 5 hours. Our accommodation is Bishopdale Valley Bunkhouse which is just 150 metres from Street Head Inn pub which is owned by the same people. The accommodation sleeps 20 people in 4 bunk rooms and all bedding is provided. The property is centrally heated throughout and there is a well equipped kitchen, large common / dining room and a drying room.
On Saturday we will leave the accommodation at 9:30am and drive the 15 miles to Keld where our walk will start. The 11.25 mile (18km) route crosses the River Swale, passing the Coast to Coast path before heading North on the Pennine Way all the way to Tan Hill Inn, Britain's highest Inn at 1,732 feet (528 metres). There will only to be time for a quick half pint before we need to head in a South Westerly direction, eventually reaching the summit of Robert's Seat (549 metres). When we then reach Ravenseat we join the Coast to Coast path closely following the River Swale and passing scenic waterfalls which include Currack Force and Cutrake Force. The walk should take just over 6 hours to complete after which we will drive back to the accommodation. In the evening you are free to either self cater using the accommodation kitchen or we can eat out in a local pub, the Street Head Inn being the natural choice.
On Sunday our walk is starts in West Burton, less than 2 miles from the accommodation. Known as Wensleydale's waterfall walk this 6 mile (9km) route should take us about 2 1/2 hours to complete. After a short stop to look at West Bruton Falls we cross fields and head to the Knights Templar remains that are Penhill Perceptory. The site shows exposed foundations of a chapel and 3 oblong objects thought to be tombs. The tombs are small, some believe this is because high ranking Templars are thought to have been dismembered before burial, the head and lower limbs buried separately (skull and crossed bones). The route then follows the road for a kilometer before joining a footpath that follows the River Ure with views of hugely popular Aysgarth Falls. We then reach the village of Aysgarth where there is a pub which we may stop at briefly (alternatively we can stop at the pub in West Burton at the end of the walk). From Aysgarth it's a short walk back to the start point. We expect to depart the area around 1pm and so you can expect to be back in London by about 6:30pm latest.
What to bring
- Hiking Boots and clothes
- Towel and toiletries
- Food for breakfast and packed lunches
- Water
- Rucksack

Software applications are constantly updated to fix bugs and to add new function. How to deliver updates to your user base is a very important enterprise infrastructure consideration, especially when your user base is large and spread out. In a worldwide organization, it is not pragmatic to send out a technician to install software updates. Fortunately, IBM Lotus Sametime V7.5, built on the Eclipse platform, allows you to leverage update sites, which allow Lotus Sametime Connect V7.5 to retrieve updates from a centralized location.
In this article, we take you through the full process of creating an update site for your Sametime plug-ins. You learn how an update site provides a method for delivering new features and feature updates to your Sametime clients. We show you how to create a simple plug-in that places a button on the Lotus Sametime Connect's action bar. We use the Sametime clientâs Update Manager to pull this plug-in from an update site that we also create. We also show you how to retrieve an update for an existing plug-in. Figure 1 is the Update Manager of the Sametime client through which you can define sites that can provide your Sametime client with new features and existing feature updates.
Figure 1. Update Manager
The role of HTTP server in updating plug-ins
One way of making your Sametime plug-in available to the Sametime community is by placing it on an Eclipse update site. An Eclipse update site is a URL location where clients can download enhancements or updates to their Sametime client. An Eclipse update site is defined by a site.xml file, which we describe later in this article. To host the update site, you need an HTTP server. For our HTTP server, we used the freely available IBM HTTP Server to host our update site. You can download a free copy of the IBM HTTP Server V6.1 from the IBM HTTP Server page.
Creating your plug-in
Before you delve into the world of installing and updating, you need to create a simple plug-in that can be delivered to your Sametime client through a feature. A feature is a collection of plug-ins and can, in turn, house other features inside it. As mentioned earlier, we begin by creating a simple plug-in that places a button on the action bar as shown in figure 2.
Figure 2. Action bar with feature plug-in
We assume that you are familiar with developing a plug-in for Lotus Sametime using Eclipse 3.2. If this is not the case, refer to the Resources section of this article for a list of Sametime plug-in development articles to get you started developing plug-ins.
Follow these steps to change your target platform to Lotus Sametime V7.5 and to create a plug-in project named com.ibm.example.iu in Eclipse 3.2:
- Open Eclipse 3.2, and then switch to the Plug-in Development Perspective.
- Choose Window - Preferences.
- In the Preferences dialog box, choose Plug-in Development - Target Platform.
- Change your target platform to the location of the directory representing the Lotus Sametime V7.5 plug-ins directory on your system. For example, if you installed Lotus Sametime V7.5 in the default location, the target platform location is C:\Program Files\IBM\Sametime Connect 7.5.
- Create a new plug-in project by choosing File - New Project.
- Select Plug-in Project.
- In the New Plug-in Project wizard, specify com.ibm.example.iu as the project name, and then click Next.
- For the plug-in name, specify com.ibm.example.iu. For the plug-in provider, specify IBM DeveloperWorks.
The plug-in.xml file
After you create the com.ibm.example.iu plug-in project, create a plug-in.xml file that extends the org.eclipse.ui.viewaction extension point. The contents of the plug-in.xml file are shown in listing 1.
Listing 1. Plug-in.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?eclipse version="3.0"?> <plugin> <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.viewActions"> <viewContribution id="com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.sample.snippets.viewAction" targetID="com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.imhub"> <action class="com.ibm.example.iu.ClickHandler" enablesFor="0" icon="icon/kulvir.gif" id="com.ibm.example.iu.ClickHandler" label="Buddylist icon" style="push" toolbarPath="buddylist/additions" tooltip="Kulvir hates gyros."/> </viewContribution> </extension> </plugin>
Notice that the extension point starts with org.eclipse. This means that the extension point is part of the base Eclipse API, not the Lotus Sametime API. Lotus Sametime often leverages the Eclipse API, enabling an experienced Eclipse developer to develop Sametime plug-ins right away. More information about the org.eclipse.ui.viewActions extension point can be found on the Eclipse Web site. Also, choosing Help - Help Contents in the Eclipse SDK brings up the Help Window from which you can search for org.eclipse.ui.viewAction to find information on the viewActions extension point.
Letâs take a further look at the org.eclipse.ui.viewActions extension point. The targetID is the ID of the view to which you add your button. The view ID for the action bar is com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.imhub. Highlighted in figure 3 is the Sametime client action bar with its corresponding view ID.
Figure 3. Action bar with view ID
By defining the action barâs view ID as your targetID, you can extend the action bar. We also define com.ibm.example.iu.ClickHandler as the class that handles our view action. We define icon/kulvir.gif as the icon that represents our view action. The kulvir.gif file is a headshot of Kulvir Bhogal, one of the authors of this article. Also, note the tooltip is "Kulvir hates gyros." Later, when we demonstrate updating existing features, we change the tooltip to "Kulvir loves gyros." (As an aside, Kulvir is a gyro fanatic.)
The BuddyListDelegate interface
The button you add to the action bar presents the user with a Hello! message box when it is clicked as shown in figure 4.
Figure 4. Plug-in message box
Accordingly, in addition to defining the button in the plug-in.xml, you must also create the implementation class that handles clicks to the button. Create a class inside of the com.ibm.example.iu plug-in named com.ibm.example.iu.ClickHandler. The BuddyListDelegate interface handles clicks to the viewAction button, which you defined previously. The BuddyListDelegate interface is contained in the com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.imhub plug-in. To resolve the BuddyListDelegate interface, you must add the com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.imhub plug-in to the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF fileâs list of required bundles as shown in listing 2.
Listing 2. META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
Manifest-Version: 1.0 Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2 Bundle-Name: Iu Plug-in Bundle-SymbolicName: com.ibm.example.iu;singleton:=true Bundle-Version: 1.0.0 Bundle-Activator: com.ibm.example.iu.Activator Bundle-Vendor: IBM Bundle-Localization: plugin Require-Bundle: org.eclipse.ui, org.eclipse.core.runtime, com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.imhub Eclipse-LazyStart: true
To open a MessageBox that presents the user with a message of Hello! when your button is clicked, you need to implement the run method as shown in listing 3.
Listing 3. Run method for MessageBox
public class ClickHandler implements BuddyListDelegate { public void run(ISelection selection) { MessageBox mBox = new MessageBox(new Shell()); mBox.setMessage("Hello!"); mBox.open(); } }
Creating and building the icon
Now, you create the folder that includes your image for the button that you add to the action bar. Right-click com.ibm.example.iu and choose New - Folder. Name the folder icon and click Finish. To import the icon, drag it from the folder that contains the image file to the icon folder of your plug-in project.
Next, change the build.properties file so that the icon folder and its contents are included in the build file. Open the build.properties file with the Build Properties editor. To do this, right-click build.properties, which is in the com.ibm.example.iu plug-in project, and then choose Open With - Build Properties Editor from the context menu.
From the Build Properties Editor, select the option next to the icon folder as well as plugin.xml as shown in figure 5, and then save your modifications to the build.properties file.
Figure 5. Build Properties Editor
Eclipse features
Eclipse features represent an abstract unit of function that appears to the user. A feature can be a calendar, a mail tool, or in our case, an action button. Eclipse features can be comprised of multiple plug-ins or may reference multiple features. These relationships are determined in the feature.xml file.
We now show you how to create a feature. To keep things simple, you have only one required plug-in housed in the feature, the com.ibm.example.iu plug-in that you created earlier. To create a new feature, choose File - New - Other. In the New Feature wizard, choose Plug-in Development - Feature Project, then click Next.
For the feature project name use com.ibm.example.feature.iu. Accept the default feature ID, and name the feature "Action Bar Button Feature." Click Next. For the Reference Plug-ins and Fragments, select the com.ibm.example.iu plug-in as shown in figure 6, and then click Finish.
Figure 6. New Feature wizard
Next, open the feature.xml file and select the Overview tab. Enter the update site URL with the following URL format:
where YOUR_HTTPSERVER_URL is the URL for the HTTP server you use. Entering an HTTP server here enables the Sametime client to automatically check for and download updates for features when they are available from the HTTP server.
Feature.xml: Behind the scenes of the Eclipse PDE
The Eclipse plug-in development environment (PDE) provides a convenient means of viewing and editing the feature.xml file. For those of you who prefer to know what your PDE is doing, we highlight parts of the feature.xml file in listing 4. First, notice that the basic details of the feature are described, such as the unique ID, the label (the name of the feature as it appears to the user), the version number, and the provider name. Also notice the description, copyright, and license fields.
Finally, the required plug-ins and features are described along with their unique IDs and version numbers. The version number is important because it describes to the Update Manager the lowest acceptable version number that should exist on the client. Version number 0.0.0 states that any version is acceptable.
Listing 4. Feature.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <feature id="com.ibm.example.feature.iu" label="Iu Feature" version="1.0.0" provider-name="IBM"> <description url="http://www.example.com/description"> [Enter Feature Description here.] </description> <copyright url="http://www.example.com/copyright"> [Enter Copyright Description here.] </copyright> <license url="http://www.example.com/license"> [Enter License Description here.] </license> <url> <update url="http://talgate.austin.ibm.com/myupdatesite"/> </url> <plugin id="com.ibm.example.iu" download-size="0" install-size="0" version="0.0.0" unpack="false"/> </feature>
Update site
Next, we demonstrate how to use the Eclipse toolset to create an update site. The update site was described previously as a location where clients receive either updates to existing Sametime components or entirely new Sametime components. Now that we have reviewed the concept of features, we can modify our definition of an update site: An update site is a location from which clients can install new features or receive updates to existing features.
We now dive further into the process of creating an update site. Eclipse provides a wizard that automates the process of creating an update site. To start that wizard, choose File - New Project. In the New Project wizard, choose Plug-in Development - Update Site Project. The New Update Site wizard appears (see figure 7).
Figure 7. New Update Site wizard
As you can see from figure 7, we specify the location of our update site to be the location of our HTTP server. For your HTTP server location, use the format
HTTP_DOC_ROOT\myupdatesite, where HTTP_DOC_ROOT is the document root for your HTTP server. In addition, we chose to not use the default location by deselecting the option Use default location. We also specified that we want to generate a Web page listing used to display information about the feature we provide.
The site.xml file provides a listing of the features that are available on an update site. Open the site.xml file. Click the New Category button to add a category.
After adding the new category, the Update Site Map page looks similar to figure 8. Notice how the Category Properties for the newly created Category appear in the right-hand pane of the Update Site Map page.
Figure 8. New category added to site map
Define the name and the label for the category as DeveloperWorks Sample. The name is a unique name for the category. The label is how the category appears to the user. For the description, we entered the following statement: "This feature is a sample feature to demonstrate the functionality of an update site."
Next, add the feature you created earlier to the DeveloperWorks Sample Category. To do this, select the DeveloperWorks Sample category, and then click the Add Feature button. In the Feature Selection dialog box (see figure 9), select the com.ibm.example.feature.iu feature created earlier in the article, and then click OK.
Figure 9. Feature Selection dialog box
Now that your site map has been properly configured, you can build your plug-in and your feature. To do this, click the Build All button. This builds both the com.ibm.example.feature.iu feature and the feature's required plug-in(s).
Updating Lotus Sametime Connect V7.5
Now that your update site is built, a user can download the feature from his Sametime client. Open Lotus Sametime V7.5 Connect. From the Sametime client, choose File - Manage Updates - Download plugins. The Install/Update wizard opens (see figure 10).
Figure 10. Install/Update wizard
Select the "Search for new features to install" option, and then click Next. In the following wizard panel, click the New Remote Site button. In the Edit Remote Site dialog box (see figure 11), enter the appropriate URL of the update site that you created.
Figure 11. Edit Remote Site dialog box
Next, click OK to add your newly created update site to the list of update sites your Sametime client checks for updates. Click Finish. The Updates window now appears. Select the Developer Works Example Site option to install all the features available on the Developer Works Example Site, and then click Next. (Alternately, you can choose to select only a subset of the features available.) Accept the License for the feature and click Next.
In the following window, click Finish to install the feature. You are asked to verify if you want to install the feature. Click the Install button. A dialog box appears asking if you want to restart the workbench (see figure 12). Click Yes to restart the workbench.
Figure 12. Restart prompt box
After restarting, the new action bar button appears as shown in figure 13.
Figure 13. Updated action bar with new feature
Making updates to an existing feature
Many times the providers of an existing feature have bug fixes or enhancements that they want to deliver to their user base. Recall in our feature.xml file that we specified the location of our update site:
<update url="http://updatesite.mycompany.com/myupdatesite/"/>
The URL stated here is where the Sametime client looks for updates for an existing feature. You can set up your client to automatically check for updates to an existing feature. To do this, choose File - Preferences. In the Preferences dialog box, select Install/Update - Automatic Updates in the left-hand pane. Configure the Automatic Updates preferences to check for updates each time the platform is started as shown in figure 14.
Figure 14. Preferences dialog box - Automatic Updates
Now that your Sametime client is configured to check for updates, when an update to an existing feature is available, you receive a dialog box like the one in figure 15.
Figure 15. New update available
Updating your plug-in
To demonstrate the process of updating a feature, letâs update the tooltip for our plug-in to change from "Kulvir hates gyros." to "Kulvir loves gyros." First, update the tooltip in your plugin.xml of your com.ibm.example.iu as shown in listing 5.
Listing 5. Tooltip change
<action class="com.ibm.example.iu.ClickHandler" enablesFor="0" icon="icon/kulvir.gif" id="com.ibm.example.iu.ClickHandler" label="Buddylist icon" style="push" toolbarPath="buddylist/additions" tooltip="Kulvir hates gyros."/>
Next, increment the version of your MANIFEST.MF file from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 by modifying the value of the Bundle version:
Bundle-Version: 1.1.0
The increment to the version is important because clients look for this change in version numbers to let them know that updates are available. Next, save and close all the com.ibm.example.iu plug-in files.
Open the feature.xml file and select the Overview tab. Click the Versions button. In the Feature Versions dialog box, choose the option to "Copy versions from plug-in and fragment manifests." See figure 16.
Figure 16. Feature Versions dialog box
The plug-in version of com.ibm.examle.iu referenced by the feature is 1.1.0. Next, edit the feature.xml file. Update the feature.xml fileâs version number to be version 1.1.0 as shown in listing 6.
Listing 6. Version change
<feature id="com.ibm.example.feature.iu" label="Iu Feature" version="1.1.0" provider-name="IBM">
Save and close all of your feature files.
Next, open the site.xml file in the Update Site Map page. Click the Build All button to build your updated plug-in and the corresponding updated feature and to place it on the update site.
NOTE: In our case the development environment and the update site are on the same machine. However, in a production environment, the server and the development machines are separate. In such a case, you have to transfer the newly built update site from your development machine to your production server.
Given that you modified your Sametime client to automatically check for updates to existing features, upon restarting your Sametime client, the new feature is detected and installed. You can verify this by checking if the tooltip has changed from "Kulvir hates gyros." to "Kulvir loves gyros." See figure 17.
Figure 17. Updated feature
In an enterprise environment with users of varying technical abilities, you cannot always assume that a user will know how to manually install and manage his own updates. This can even be a cumbersome task for Sametime developers. The Update Manager of Lotus Sametime Connect makes the process of getting new features and feature updates much more user friendly. In this article, you learned how to distribute new Sametime plug-ins with an update site. For the purposes of this article, the update site, plug-in development environment (PDE), and the Sametime client all existed on the same machine. In reality, these entities would likely reside on separate machines. The update site that you create can be copied to another machine that runs an HTTP server. Multiple clients can access that HTTP server for their updates.
As an alternative to the update site, you can deploy Sametime features with an optional provisioning add-on. The advantage to the provisioning add-on is that installing updates does not require any action on behalf of the user. In our example, the user is still required to enter the location of the update site and to schedule the automatic updates. The provisioning add-on allows for push updates (versus pull updates as in our example) and scheduled updates. Push updates allow updates to be pushed down by an administrator without any interaction on the user's part. Scheduled updates allow updates to be published during off hours, when updates are least likely to interfere with business. In a follow-up article, we discuss using the provisioning add-on as an enhanced means of distributing software updates to IBM Lotus Sametime.

It has taken seven years since arriving at Arsenal, but Theo Walcott's career has finally started. Maybe that's giving this whole contract situation an unnecessary Hollywood touch, but considering the time it took to get the deal signed and delivered – and Arsenal are certainly not without fault – there is rightly plenty expected from the England international.
Walcott has become the best paid player at Arsenal following this round of negotiations, but he's far from their best on the pitch. What the contract represents is something more than just extending the stay of one of the club's most important names; there's no escaping how devastating Walcott's departure could have been to the club's image and the supporters' mind-set, an impact which stretches far beyond the loss of his realistic value on the pitch.
But I have no reservations about saying that this protracted saga was all about the money, while talk of positions on the field was a cleverly placed, yet not totally convincing smokescreen. Walcott got exactly what he wanted; he was under no pressure to sign a contract at Arsenal and certainly could have been given stronger promises of silverware at other clubs. But becoming the highest paid player at Arsenal signals his arrival at the big time. He can no longer hide behind Cesc Fabregas or Robin van Persie; he can no longer use the excuse that he's young and still learning his trade. Playing out of position is one thing, but there is a lot of criticism that can justifiably be levelled at his technique and propensity to be wasteful. Walcott is a man, one who is now on a senior squad member's wages.
Walcott has delivered a number of performances this season that would suggest he deserves the contract he's on. And once again, contracts such as these go beyond just what a player can do on the pitch. The spirit around the Emirates following the 7-3 win over Newcastle was incredibly high – arguably the highest it has been for a long time. Yes it's nice for fans to experience big wins over teams who should be considered a good side in English football, but there was an added sense of hope, one which saw so many look to Walcott as the new star in a team desperately in need of one. After so many frustrating seasons, was he finally delivering on promises?
There might have been similar feelings against Reading in the League Cup, hope and belief in the player that he would do what was needed every time he was put through on goal and racing away from opposition defenders. Arsenal fans are currently more than deserving of something to be a little excited about; it's not always a dangerous thing to get a little carried away by the potential of what's to come.
Most will continue to look at Jack Wilshere as the face of this Arsenal team, and that is right. But Walcott has been in the team longer, is older, has experienced more, and thus has higher expectations. He's far more than just a sprinter, but people want to see regularly that he is capable of so much more.
Walcott wanted a contract that gives an accurate representation of his status at Arsenal and in the England national team. However, that contract certainly doesn't come without a great deal of expectation.

Spike Lee, George C. Wolfe, Pay Tribute to '12 Years a Slave'
"12 Years a Slave" has garnered a lot of critical acclaim and attention and part of the talk has centered around the fact that the movie is an American story told by a British director.
Director Steve McQueen, who was born in London and is of Grenadian descent, said he's no stranger to the history of slavery, and noted that he shares West Indian heritage with many prominent figures in African-American history like Marcus Garvey, Stokely Carmichael and Colin Powell.
"I'm not an outsider at all, far from it," Mr. McQueen said at a luncheon at The Lotos Club in New York celebrating the success of "12 Years." "I'm a black man living now in 2013."
Mr. McQueen, along with producer Dede Gardner and stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Lupita Nyong'o, participated in a discussion panel moderated by historian Dr. Amanda Foreman.
Mr. Ejiofor and Ms. Nyong'o said their director had a strong vision for the film.
"He knows exactly what he wants, but he gives you room to find it," Ms. Nyong'o said during the panel.
Based on the memoir of Solomon Northup, "12 Years" is the story of a man born into freedom, but tricked, kidnapped and sold into slavery. The film follows him from plantation to plantation as he tries to return to his family.
"He is a man who believes he will be reunited with the people that he loves," Mr. Ejiofor said during the discussion. "The servitude is irrelevant if he could get back to his life, his family."
The film version of "12 years" has made $24.9 million since its release, and the book is currently in the top 10 on the New York Times best-seller list. When asked about the book's renewed success, Mr. McQueen said, "You think you have an idea about what slavery is. This book obliterated that."
The event, hosted by George C. Wolfe and sponsored by Fox Searchlight Pictures, was attended by Broadway stars Tovah Feldshuh and Nikki James along with screenwriter Danny Strong, author Walter Mosley and director Spike Lee.
Ms. James said she was hesitant to see the movie at first but was pleased that a story like this was being told. Mr. Lee had the cast sign posters and presented Ms. Nyong'o with a gift during cocktail hour in the library.
Ms. Nyong'o plays Patsey, a woman who is both the object of her master's obsession and her mistress's scorn. Patsey's relationship with Solomon becomes like family, where they both strive to protect the other as best they can from their tormentors.
On portraying Patsey, Ms. Nyong'o said she recognized her strength but also her need to survive. "Rather than trying to solve an equation, it was accepting the equation as it was," she said.
The horrific moments in the film are gripping, and Ms. Gardner credits Mr. McQueen for wanting to get the history right.
"The essence of the film came from Steve," she said. "To render this story and muck it up with fiction, it didn't make any sense.
"I can't put my filter on this reality," said Mr. McQueen. "It would be perverse of me to do that."

When a software platform opens a door, it closes a window; we trade power for convenience every time we move forward. Of course, I don't have to spell that out for you if you are a SharePoint developer—you probably got here by being an ASP.NET developer first. You miss being in complete control of the markup, don't you?
Did you ever really have any such control?
Add to the list of open doors SharePoint Online, the Office365 edition of our favorite collaboration platform to be hosted in Microsoft's increasingly fluffier cloud. By migrating SharePoint cloud-wise, we gain the convenience of not having to plan, purchase or maintain the considerable server and network hardware required for our farm.
The developer's price tag hanging from this infrastructural boon is a weighty one, though, at least at first glance. Two particularly glaring constraints for cloud-bound SharePoint installations are the loss of Business Connectivity Services (BCS), and that only Sandboxed Solutions may be deployed.
This effectively prohibits your server-side code's access to resources outside of the local server, and in most cases outside of the local site collection. While these abilities may be on the fringe of what is currently being taken advantage of by SharePoint developers, someone is bound to cry foul when currently available features are suddenly not.
Sahil Malik, who conducted my initiation to the world of SharePoint, preempts the inevitable arm-wavers on this point:
Long story short, get used to Sandbox solutions – and the new way of programming. Sandbox solutions are pretty damn good. Most of the complaints I have heard around sandbox solutions being too restrictive, are uninformed mechanisms of doing things mired in the ways of 2002.
.. or you could just live in 2002 too.
The last thing any self-respecting developer wants to be accused of is being out of touch, of retreading (insert recent past year here). But is this a fair grenade for Malik to lob, considering the youth of Office365 and even of SharePoint itself? Or is he donning rose-colored glasses in the face of the functionality being lost?

Most what i read online is trash and copy paste but your posts are not alike. Keep it like this.
Thanks for the wonderful post.

OK, so here's the background. Six Muslims book the same flight. Three of the men had one-way tickets and no checked baggage. Some of the men asked for seat belt extensions even though flight attendants told the men they weren't needed.
One passenger passed a note to the pilot that said the men were overheard criticizing the U.S. involvement in Iraq and speaking angrily near the boarding gate.
So police removed the six men who were all imams (religious leaders) traveling to a convention in Minneapolis.
Now, as could be expected, the ACLU and the Muslim community are in a uproar over the "profiling" and the "humiliation" to which the men were subjected. The airline has apologized and the men boarded another flight to their destination.
Is this profiling "Flying while Muslim"? Or is it a precautionary measure that should be taken in today's troubled world? The truth is we'll never agree.
Were I on that particular flight, I would applaud the airline for taking the precaution. And I would not be one bit shy to apologize when the full story unfolded. But given the set of circumstances, would you blame the airline?
Is profiling always wrong? Or are there instances where profiling is just common sense and an extra precaution? Clearly there are two distinct points of view and - stating the obvious - if you are the subject of profiling, I would assume you would be humiliated and embarrassed and darned upset as well.
Yet, were some sort of profiling used on Sept. 11, 2001, perhaps the events of the past five years would have been different. That's a weak argument in favor of profiling but in our quest to attain political correctness, sometimes we throw common sense to the wind.
