Tracy R. Chowdhury & Ted Crim
Tracy R. Chowdhury and Ted Mark Crim met in 1997 while working for a local animal hospital. They became fast friends when they had many interests in common, one of them being Dungeons and Dragons. Throughout childhood, both had always been fascinated by the possibility of magic and intrigued by dragons, fairies, unicorns, and other mystical things.
Tracy always had a propensity for writing. With ideas taken from one of their AD&D campaigns, she developed a story that took several years to write. The original Shadow Over Shandahar duology was published in 2007. Afterward came the publication of a few short stories and the first installment of the Dark Mists of Ansalar duology.
The year 2011came with some big changes. The Shandahar books were picked up by Loconeal Publishing and given the rare opportunity to be remastered. Since then, Tracy and her co-author have completed four books in the Shadow Over Shandahar series and are currently working on the third novel in the Dark Mists of Ansalar series. More information about the authors and the books can be found at www.worldofshandahar.com
Tracy and Ted currently live in Cincinnati, Ohio. Tracy is married to her college sweetheart, Abdul Gaffar, and they own a real estate business. They have four children, a sphynx cat, and an italian mastiff. Ted lives with his sister and her three children, two nieces and nephew. He is in the process of developing a role playing game based on the Shandahar novels.
Tina Closser
Tina Closser grew up in various towns around Northern Kentucky reading and watching as much science fiction and fantasy as humanly possible. When it was time for college it was clear that she watched one too many episodes of Star Trek, because she chose Physics as her major with the intent of being an Astrophysicist. After graduating from Northern Kentucky University with her Bachelors of Science in Physics, she knew that academia was not the path for her so she chose to get an Electrical Engineering degree at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. Armed with two science degrees she went to work for the Navy in Indiana.
Throughout high school and college she had millions of ideas for stories running through her head, but never had the courage to write any of them down. Thanks to the reality TV craze she turned off her television and worked up the courage to write down a story that had been worming its way into her brain for years. She wrote "Non-Compliance: The Sector" under the pen name of Paige Daniels over the course of several years. In November 2012 it was published by Kristell Ink. It is a face paced science fiction, cyber punk tale with elements of humor and romance with a strong heroine. It explores different themes such as government control, how one seemingly insignificant person can make a difference, and family.
Despite being surrounded by a bunch of Hoosiers, she has lived happily in Indiana for the past fourteen years. When she isn't working her 9-5 job or writing she manages a hobby farm with her delightful husband and two kids and coaches an afterschool robotics team.

Patrick D'Orazio
Patrick D'Orazio resides in southwestern Ohio with his wife, Michele, two children, Alexandra and Zachary, and two spastic dogs. A lifelong writer, he decided a few years ago that attempting to get published might be a better idea than continuing to toss all those stories he's been scribbling down over the years into a filing cabinet, never to be seen again.
Over twenty-five of his short stories appear or will be appearing in various anthologies from a wide array of different small press publishers. He has dipped his toes into a variety of genres, including horror, science fiction, fantasy, erotica, bizarro, western, action-adventure, apocalyptic, and comedy.
He has also written a trilogy of apocalyptic novels dubbed "The Dark Trilogy" which were originally released by The Library of the Living Dead Press. The three books, "Comes the Dark," "Into the Dark," and "Beyond the Dark," are being re-released with substantial new content by Permuted Press in early 2013. Patrick is presently working on the fourth book in this saga, and plans on finishing the series with a fifth and final book. His hope is that they will be released in 2014.You can see what Patrick is up to via his website at www.patrickdorazio.com.

T Lee Harris.
Lee Harris is a scribbler of the lowest order. Not only does she pen lies about people who don't exist, but she draws pictures of them as well. Harris has also been known to aid and abet others by putting their scribblings into book form and even going so far as to devise covers for these publications. She claims she went to school to learn these things, but that shouldn't be held against anyone.
Harris is, in turn, aided and abetted by others in her assaults against literature. Among these accomplices are Hydra Publications, who have shamelessly published her untruths about an ancient Egyptian scribe and a magic temple cat; Untreed Reads, who have promulgated her lies about a retired spy who keeps getting mixed up in other people's business, and the Southern Indiana Writers' Group — possibly the worst offenders of all — who have permitted her to commit her acts of literary vandalism with their Indian Creek Anthology Series, not once, but at total of 17 times to date.
There are suspicions that Harris is committing a novel or two, but this has yet to be confirmed.

The idea for the Celtic Mythos series came from his love of science fiction and fantasy and the underutilized and abundantly rich folklore of the Celtic people. They are so much more than leprechauns! Brad has always loved a good story, and upon researching the mythos of the Celtic Isles he became enthralled in the type of story he could tell. Brad has always enjoyed writing, but in the beginning it was more for examples to share with his students than it was for anything else. It wasn t long before Brad found himself writing every night and submitting his work for publication.. There are so many more stories to tell, and he can t wait to get started. You can learn more about Brad from the following websites (or just Google Brad A. LaMar).

Teddi Robinson
I wasn't sure how to start this but thought I was born…was a little silly. Still I needed something to draw attention from everyone else to me! I have been writing since I was a child but didn't publish anything except newsletters for various clubs as well as being public relations person for a few. After attending several creative writing classes at IUS and writing workshops, I decided I was ready to tackle the world. I'm still not sure the world is ready to accept me or my writings. Two of my novels are historical romances, one before WWII and the other during WWII. The thrid book is the true story of my childhood. I have never been a typical child nor adult. My fourth book is a mystery set in the 50's in Louisville Ky. I'm now 80 years old. At 80 years of age, I refuse to sit in a chair and watch TV. However, if by chance, my readers' prediction should come true and my first book becomes a Hallmark Movie, you can bet your bottom dollar, I'll be in front of the TV along with everyone I have ever said hello to. I look forward to meeting each and every one of my fellow authors and having a lot of fun at That Book Place on March 17..
My books are feel good, easy read, and faith based books that can be read by 12 year olds and up. My childhood can be read by an 8 year old.
You can reach me at email@example.com or order my books at www.blackwyrm.com or Autographedbooksonline.com

Terri-Lynne Smiles
As a child, Terri-Lynne Smiles played the piano, guitar, violin, recorder, autoharp, ocarina, and banjo before taking a good, hard look at herself and realizing she had no musical talent. With a degree in Philosophy and Economics from Denison University, Terri married the love of her life and attended law school at the University of Michigan. While the law often fulfilled the analytical part of her brain, her creative side turned to baking and soon Volcano cakes, three dimensional Death Stars, and cupcakes topped with handmade candy butterflies soon found their way into Terri's kitchen. But instead of satisfying her, all it did was make her fat. So she turned to her less calorie-laden passion – writing novels that explore new ideas and the nature of humanity.
In 2012 her debut novel, Foreseen, a science fantasy (think of the old Twilight Zone episodes done with production values and placed in a current setting) was touted as "a nuanced page tuner" and a "worthy sci-fi thriller á la Dean Koontz" by The Kirkus Review, saying that "First time author Smiles has devised a convincing supernatural culture." Choices, the sequel to Foreseen will be released in Spring 2013, and a separate, futuristic novel, Sarandipity, following in Fall 2013.

WAILUKU - A walking, talking cigarette butt addressed the Maui County Council on Friday morning to testify in support of a bill to ban cigarette smoking and tobacco products on Maui County's parks and beaches.
"I spend a lot of time at the beach. I love it, and I'd hate for it to go downhill with smoking," said surfer John Wheeler, who entered Council Chambers dressed in a life-sized cigarette butt suit. "I think this bill will do a great deal of help to keep our beaches clean and our aina good."
About a dozen other Maui and Lanai residents provided testimony during the council meeting, all in support of an amended bill to make smoking illegal in all public parks. Electronic cigarettes would still be allowed until the state Legislature or U.S. Food and Drug Administration classifies them as "tobacco products" or finds them to be harmful to others, council members said in a committee meeting last month.

A cluster of cigarette butts collects above the high water mark at Sugar Beach on Friday. Proponents of a measure to ban smoking at the county's parks and beaches say the ban would reduce pollution, protect the environment and help smokers who are trying to quit.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
All eight council members present Friday voted to pass the measure on first reading. Council Vice Chairman Robert Carroll was excused.
"There is widespread support within our community, I think it's something long overdue," Council Member Mike Victorino said. "As a person who doesn't smoke, I can enjoy the beaches even further without having somebody lighting up near me or near my family."
Council members said they received more than 400 submissions of written testimony, most of which were in support of the tobacco ban. Hawaii County passed similar legislation in 2008, and Honolulu's tobacco ban went into effect this year after being passed last year.
"This is a norm change. It's normal now not to smoke in a restaurant, can't we just move it to the beaches?" asked Maui District Health Officer Dr. Lorrin Pang, who testified Friday on behalf of the state Department of Health. "You will hear a lot of testimony about how it affects the environment, secondhand smoking, I'm arguing on behalf of the smoker himself. If you make it inconvenient for them to smoke, they'll stop smoking."
Pang said three proven ways to effectively control smoking were through the nagging of health care professionals and physicians; the taxing of cigarettes; and environmental restrictions.
Council Member Don Guzman, who chairs the council's Committee on Economic Development, Energy, Agriculture and Recreation, reminded council members of the three considerations that were raised during committee meetings regarding the bill.
The first was one that would exempt Waiehu Golf Course from the ban, as "it's more open-air, and usually . . . you pick your own group," county officials said in committee. The second consideration was an option to allow the parks director to designate smoking areas within county parks, in order to quell complaints from department employees who would not be able to smoke while at work.
Neither proposed amendment garnered enough votes in committee to change the original bill, although council members may still bring either issue up for discussion before second and final reading during the next scheduled meeting.
A third consideration, which would still allow the use of electronic cigarettes at public parks, is the only one that acquired enough votes to make it into the amended bill.
In other action, council members:
* Approved a resolution appropriating up to $50,000 to hire special counsel in the lawsuit filed against the county by Neldon Mamuad of the MAUIWatch Facebook page.
* Passed on first reading a bill that would allow roadside stands and farmers markets in zoned agricultural districts to sell grown-in-Hawaii products and other food items.
* Approved a resolution that will allow ATC Makena Land SF2 LLC a nonexclusive perpetual 586-square-foot easement to install a sewer line for its property.
* Passed on first reading a bill that would enable certain applicants to be eligible for lower water system development fees.
* Passed on second and final reading a bill that appropriates $150,000 for a grant to the Haiku Community Association for improvements to the Kalakupua Playground.
* Passed on second and final reading a bill that increases an appropriation for the Aging and Disability Resource Center Expansion grant by $383,576 to a total $820,226. It also allows the center to hire two more positions, for a total of five staff members.

Terry Allen's debut, Juarez, originally released in 1976, was thankfully reissued in 2004 to claim its place as one of the greatest albums ever recorded in any genre. And if that's not enough of a pretentious pronouncement, I'll go ahead and call Juarez one of the finest works of 20th-century American literature, based mostly on its utterly unique approach to dramatic narrative.
As if that weren't enough, Allen is also an accomplished visual artist, incorporating mixed media, including painting, video and even taxidermy into his installations. Juarez, in fact, grew out of one such art project, in turn inspiring Allen to create paintings of the album's characters, which were released as lithographs with the first copies; regrettably, they are not reproduced here.
Musically, Juarez is a bare-bones affair, with Allen's honky-tonk piano and creaky voice accompanied sparsely. But here that subtlety gradually takes on an incontrovertible power, pushing the willing listener to stumble, Twilight Zone-style, into some dusty, deserted Western tavern. Or really any place where the piano player can decorate with aural wallpaper one minute before spinning a yarn that's so provocative and harrowing, you wonder whether he might be one of the omniscient few, joining God and Satan. Allen tells a story of characters imprisoned as much by the ghosts of global history as their own pasts, a story about the hidden limits inherent in the seemingly limitless landscape of the American West.
Allen's laconic narration defines four characters and their tale: a naive Navy man, Sailor, with his new love, a Mexican prostitute named Spanish Alice, and a Juarez-born badass, Jabo, who persuades his Los Angeles girlfriend Chic Blundie to accompany him on a trip home--by way of Cortez, Colo. The story's end--Sailor and Alice's deaths at Jabo's hands, accompanied by Jabo and Chic's breakup--is foretold from the beginning.
Nothing--not time, not identity--is sacred in Allen's songs. "Cortez Sail" finds Jabo and Chic leaving L.A., then tilts 400 years into the past, to the arrival of the explorer who gave the Colorado town its name: "Yeah, Cortez he comes with his men and his guns/ And a Spanish Christ alive on his lip." Just as abruptly, the song shifts from that chronological violation back into a present that actually takes place after a climactic murder that won't occur until eight songs later. Are you following this?
The next song, the two-part "Dogwood," takes the story back 2,000 years. It starts from the point of view of Christ's cross and becomes one of the most profound spirituals of the modern era: "But the iron that they used ahhh to nail him to me/ Lingers dark in the bark of a dogwood tree." Immediately after that line, the entire lament is revealed as a preface to Jabo's seduction of Chic, an odd shift that is emblematic of Juarez's skewed moral compass.
The rest of the story follows in strikingly odd form, from Chic's mystical monologue, "Writing on Rocks Across the U.S.A.," to the hilarious juxtaposition of love and lust in "The Radio' and Real Life," to Jabo's venomous "There Oughtta Be a Law Against Sunny Southern California." And then there's the tender, contrasting character study of Sailor and Alice, "What of Alicia," and the existential barroom singalong closer "La Despedida (The Parting)." The breadth of Allen's work is a testament to the limitless world of music inspired by the American West, a place Allen re-creates with a very real sense of restriction and an untethered imagination. Anyone interested in great American music should seek out this stunningly unique and powerful album.

By Jeff Brumley
A shared passion for studying and interpreting Scripture helped inspire a Rabbi and Baptist pastor to pen the ongoing "Reverend and the Rabbi" series of books on the Bible.
"I think the first thing is we both share a curiosity about the world in general and religion in particular," Michael Smith, senior pastor of Central Baptist Church in Knoxville, Tenn., said of his relationship to co-author Rabbi Rami Shapiro. "That kind of binds us together."
So does Spiderman. Both share a mutual childhood interest in superhero comics. "We were definitely Marvel Comics people," said Smith, 58. "Spiderman, Thor, the Fantastic Four – all that bunch."
Those shared interests emerged during a series of meetings in 2004, while Smith was pastor of First Baptist Church in Murfreesboro, Tenn. Smith was moderator for a panel discussion on "The Passion of the Christ" movie. Shapiro, who lives in Murfreesboro, was a panelist. They met to plan the event over lunch at a Mexican restaurant.
That's when another huge factor in their budding friendship came to light.
"It was then we discovered we both love Mexican food," said Shapiro, 62, an author and lecturer. "I can only have Mexican food with Mike, because my wife doesn't like it."
As the two continued to meet — with conversations ranging from fantasy literature to religion to current events — their mutual respect and admiration grew. One day Shapiro said he shared Smith's frustration about Christian congregations that hold poorly informed and planned Passover Seders. From that conversation came their frist book, Let Us Break Bread Together: A Passover Haggadah for Christians, in 2005.
Later, Smith approached Shapiro with the idea of examining passages of Scripture from their own religious traditions. He got the idea after reading the collected letters of C.S. Lewis, written in a time when colleagues held in-depth, continuing correspondences.
"I said I wondered if there was a modern way to have that kind of conversation about a biblical text," Smith said. "So we decided on the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount, and that a blog was a natural medium."
The Mount and Mountain blog was launched, and it led to their second book project, Mount and Mountain: A Reverend and a Rabbi Talk about the Ten Commandments, in 2011. The second volume, looking at the Sermon on the Mount, was released in March. Shapiro said the next book will cover Genesis.
Rabbi: 'open to Jesus'
Shapiro said he and Smith often disagree on an interpretation of text or of what ethical action a given passage calls for. But that's OK, because Judaism emphasizes the importance of interpreting Scripture from different vantage points – regardless of agreement.
"He's presenting truth as he sees it for the sole purpose of putting truth on the table, and I'm doing the same thing," Shapiro said. "Both are considered the words of the living God."
Shapiro said he benefits spiritually even by hearing viewpoints he doesn't share. That would include Smith's belief that Jesus was the Messiah. "He has enriched my understanding of Jesus as a prophet and a teacher and a rabbi," Shapiro said. "I am open to the wisdom of Jesus, and I think he was a God-intoxicated Hebrew wisdom teacher."
Smith said he, too, has benefitted from his intellectual and theological wrangling with the rabbi. "The biggest single impact has been to drive home the reality of the Jewishness of Jesus," Smith said. "It really comes alive that you are dealing with a Jewish person in the first century."
Smith said it has changed his study of the Gospels and how he prepares his sermons. "Any time I am dealing with Jesus or a saying of Jesus, my first question is 'What was Jesus thinking and feeling and speaking as a first-century Jew?"
Books 'a byproduct'
Both men said it would be a mistake to think this is all about forging interfaith partnerships in order to write books. In fact, none of it would be possible without their most important ingredient: friendship.
Shapiro said a genuine friendship – built equally on shared academic, professional and personal interests – provides the safe space needed to explore and debate without subtle efforts to convert or win arguments.
"It's all about maintaining integrity without blurring the lines between faiths or pretending [differences] don't exist," Shapiro said. "Because we are friends we are safe. I never feel I have to defend my position."
Smith said the restaurants, blog and books have all shown him how important it is to seek and build friendships across religious boundaries. "It's not a mock friendship," he said. "It's not a utilitarian friendship. It's a real friendship."
"The books are a byproduct."

Mexican singer Juan Gabriel has not died, contrary to rumors floating around the Internet on Thursday.
Juan Gabriel was hospitalized in Las Vegas for about three weeks in April due to pulmonary pneumonia.
Upon his release he was ordered to be on absolute rest for two months.
Jesus Salas, the singer's rep, told Mexican newspaper Reforma on May 1 that Juan Gabriel is recovering well and was expected to be discharged in the next couple of days.
"After he leaves the hospital, which will be one of these days, he will rest; he will not work until August," Salas said May 1.
Juan Gabriel already has concerts lined up in the U.S. for September, starting with a concert in Miami on Sept. 5, according to Ticketmaster.com.

Houston doctor and radio talk show host Steven Hotze has recorded two songs expressing his opposition to the federal health care legislation passed in 2010, better known to many as "Obamacare."
In his songs "Texans Stand Against Obamacare" and "God-fearing Texans Stop Obamacare," Hotze, in a digitized, robotic voice, repeats he has sued to stop the Affordable Care Act and vows to defeat it.
"Texans stand against Obama because we know Obama doesn't care," Hotze says to a dance-mix, synthesized beat. He compares his fight to those of 19th century Texas politicians and soldiers Sam Houston, Davy Crockett and William Travis and asks what they we do.
"I know what I'm going to do," Hotze says. "I'm going to fight Obamacare."
Last week, Hotze, founder and CEO of Hotze Health and Wellness Center, Physician's Preference and Hotze Pharmacy, announced at the Texas Capitol that he is suing the federal government to challenge the Affordable Care Act.
Hotze has said his company has been told by his insurers that premiums for employee coverage are going to dramatically rise. He said many small businesses will have to eliminate health care for workers, and that individual coverage costs also will go up.
Some might consider the songs' beats catchy and easy to dance to. Maybe they"ll hit the weekly music countdown program "American Top 40 with Ryan Seacrest."

Women's cross country athlete earns runner of the week honors
Contact Greg Szklany 315-859-4535
Posted October 8, 2012
Tags Women's Cross Country
Hamilton College cross country athlete Sarah Ohanesian '14 (Saratoga Springs, N.Y./Emma Willard School) was selected the New York State Collegiate Track Conference (NYSCTC) women's runner of the week on Oct. 8.
Ohanesian completed the 5-kilometer course in 18 minutes, 35.6 seconds and finished in third place out of 135 runners as the Continentals captured the team title in the Hamilton Invitational. Her performance was good enough to rank fifth all-time on the top course times list for women's cross country.
Ohanesian has finished in the top three a total of three times this year, including first place in a dual meet at Rensselaer on Sept. 15.
The Continentals take the weekend off before returning to the trails for the NYSCTC championship at Center Park in Fairport, N.Y., on Saturday, Oct. 20.

From HIPAA compliance to protecting against identity theft, healthcare organizations have some of the most pressing data security needs. Electronic health record (EHR) software offers medical facilities outstanding opportunities to collect, store and analyze medical information, ideally helping them to improve care and enhance their operations. This data can also be used to drive big data analytics, providing a bird's eye view of disease across demographics or regions and assisting them to identify more efficient and effective procedures.
However, this all comes with the need to keep data secure and protected. Clinicians often need to collaborate and share information about patients in order to make fast, informed decisions. HIPAA regulations and other security guidelines require that medical centers abide by the strongest secure file sharing protocols. Unfortunately, healthcare organizations are still struggling to make these goals a reality, experiencing many of the same challenges that companies face in other industries.
Employee behavior and data security
According to the 2013 HIMSS Security Survey, medical centers need to do more to advance their data security, especially with regard to threats from within the organization. Because patient health information is protected by federal law, healthcare facilities need to be especially careful to grant access to only the right people, even among their own staff. The report indicated that a "threat motivator" for workers was the desire to look up health information about friends, family and coworkers that they do not legally have the right to access.
In addition to the need to have more control over user access and audit logs, many healthcare organizations face the challenge of curbing risky behavior such as clinicians communicating patient information over non-approved means, like personal email or text messaging. Like corporations in the business world, medical centers have employees who depend on the ability to share documents and work together while solving problems. However, the need to keep data secure and private requires better secure file transfer solutions that offer clinicians convenient alternatives to their favorite shortcuts.
Lack of data security costs add up
A recent report by MeriTalk indicated that security breaches, data loss and unplanned outages cost U.S. hospitals over $1.6 billion every year in the Executives at the vast majority of health organizations say their system is unprepared for unexpected incidents, the report added.
"Healthcare organizations are making significant IT investments to transform IT structure and ensure that patient information is secure, protected and highly available. Trust has become a business priority," said Scott Filion, general manager of Global Healthcare at EMC Corporation.
As a recent example, Skagit County in Washington was recently fined $251,00 for violating HIPAA regulations because its website exposed protected health information and it didn't respond according to guidelines, Health Data Management reported.
Wide-ranging insights
The struggles faced by medical facilities as they embrace technological tools for managing medical care and storing increasingly large volumes of data for analytics apply across the board to many industries. Not all sectors have the same highly sensitive patient health information to protect according to regulatory compliance guidelines, but many corporations handle private identification and other sensitive data about their customers, employees and business partners.
With data breaches on the rise worldwide, it's imperative for organizations to have secure file transfer solutions to manage their information resources. The health industry epitomizes the need for a perfect balance between heightened data security and high-speed, immediate access to accurate, comprehensive information. When a patient's life is at risk, clinicians depend on the ability to see the most up-to-date vitals and test results, and they require tools to consult with colleagues.
Similarly, to prevent employees from resorting to practices that evade corporate security best practices, organizations need to offer convenient, user-friendly options for them to access and share the information they depend on.

Pipeline claims unsubstantiated
My only letter to date has been about my opinion of Olympic Pipe Line's agent for Carnation. After reading the fine letters from Vickie Woods, Terri Carp, and JoAnn Klacsan, I decided it was my turn.
The Mayor was right on when he said no benefit to Carnation. Construction companies bring their own crews, they don't hire local help. Since there is no lodging in Carnation, they will eat and drink where lodging is available.
I was able to have access to Olympic's brochure, distributed at a Chamber of Commerce meeting: Thirty-two pages on both sides, many of them glossies, color pictures, charts, maps--to me, it was a lot of unsubstantiated claims.
They claimed Tidewater Barge Lines created and funded Cascade Columbia Alliance, putting execs on the board. The only funding I've seen is Olympic's, for brochures and their hired community agents.
They want truck distribution terminals along the way--how can that add up to less trucks?
They claim a virtually perfect record of safety, yet there was a leak in March and a much greater one in June. It was found by a water company crew, not Olympic and their helicopter patrol. If they cannot take care of patrolling the present pipeline, how can they take on an additional 227 miles?
The pipeline said one spill was due to heavy rains and shifting soil. Also, there were no earthquake faults along the route. One showed up close to Duvall, with an earthquake and aftershocks. Both show you cannot predict nature.
There is talk of concern for the consumer availability and price. It sounds more like GREED to me.
Marguerite Ensley, Carnation

> That's talking about representing decimals in floating-point binary - > but you can't do that for xs:decimal -it's not allowed. actually I think you can implement decimal however you like, and to a =an arbitrary fixed precision. Saxon no doubt documents what it does somewhere but I didin't look up the details I just guessed that if I stretched it far enough that rounded decimal division would crack before integer division, and it did. Is it really the case in gestalt that the two always give the same, or may thay differ eventually at the edges of some finite range of supported values? F&O spec says: For xs:decimal values the number of digits of precision returned by the numeric operators is 7implementation-defined7. If the number of digits in the result exceeds the number of digits that the implementation supports, the result is truncated or rounded in an 7implementation-defined7 manner. integer div integer is defined as using xsl:decimal arithmetic so falls under this, whereas if you use very big integers with idiv, you are subject to the different rules # For xs:integer operations, implementations that support limited-precision integer operations 7must7 select from the following options: * They 7may7 choose to always raise an error [err:FOAR0002]. * They 7may7 provide an 7implementation-defined7 mechanism that allows users to choose between raising an error and returning a result that is modulo the largest representable integer value.

New round of funding provides $6 million
BRUSSELS — Ten European features will share 3.9 million euros ($6 million) in co-production coin in the latest round of Eurimages funding, announced Wednesday. Pics can receive up to $1.2 million, but most of the undisclosed awards will clearly be less than that.
Among those receiving funding are Gaul-based Romanian helmer Radu Mihaileanu for "Le Concert," following up fest favorite "Vas, vis et deviens" (Live and Become). Also familiar from the fest circuit is Hans-Christian Schmid ("Requiem"), who is favored for his political thriller "Storm."
From the commercial side, French actor-director Gerard Jugnot ("Boudu") will draw coin for his historical drama "Rose et noir," set in 16th century Spain.
Veteran Serbian helmer Srdjan Karanovic won support for "Besa," while 61-year-old French animator Henri Heidsieck gets a boost for his feature debut, "Le Secret d'Eleonore."
Other debut features on the list include "Bon Appetit," from Spaniard David Pinillos, and "Usta," from Turkish helmer Bahadir Karatas.
Completing the list of funded films is "Dau," from Russian Ilya Khrzhanovsky; "My Queen Karo," from Belgian Dorothee van den Berghe; and the docu "Into Eternity," from Dane Michael Madsen.

Scottish Climate Update - November 2009
10 December 2009
One of a series of Climate Updates from WWF Scotland based on data from the Met Office.
TOP LINE: November was the wettest November ever recorded and nearly a degree warmer than the long-term average.
There were major floods in the North East and South of Scotland.
2009 is on course to be the 6th warmest and 3rd wettest year ever recorded for Scotland
Measure Nov 2009 Comparison* Rating Records start
Temperature 5.5°C 0.8°C + 1914
Rainfall 256.7mm +55% +++ 1914
Sunshine 51.0hrs +6% ~ 1929
*compared to 1971-2000 averages, +++ exceptionally above average; ++ well above average; + above average; ~ close to average; - below average; -- well below average
2009 is a crucial year for climate change with world leaders meeting in Copenhagen in December to agree a new international climate deal that will come into force when the first phase of the Kyoto treaty expires in 2012. The new Scottish Climate Change Act has set a strong international example of what is possible with a target of 42% reduction in emissions by 2020.
Dr Richard Dixon, Director of WWF Scotland said:
"Scotland as whole had its wettest ever November. The South of Scotland had its wettest ever month, leading to devastating floods. Together with recent floods in the North East, this weather shows a glimpse of the kind of future we need to try to avoid. Rainfall has already increased significantly and the predictions are that it will increase by between 12 per cent and 21 per cent across Scotland by the 2080s if we don't get a good deal on reducing emissions at Copenhagen. Combined with rising sea-level rises this could mean 3 times more flooding inland and 10 times more flooding at the coast.
"November was nearly a degree warmer than the average and every month in 2009 has been warmer than the long-term average. If December follows the pattern so far, 2009 would end up as the 6th warmest and 3rd sunniest and 3rd wettest year on record. The Met Office is already predicting that next year could be the hottest ever across the globe.
"The talks in Copenhagen this week and next will determine what kind of future climate we will live in, one rather like today or one devastated by floods, storms and droughts. As the many thousands of people who marched through Glasgow on Saturday showed, all around the world the public are demanding that their governments get serious about reducing climate change emissions and come back from Copenhagen with a strong climate deal."
November was the wettest November ever recorded. October was a degree warmer than usual. It had average rainfall across Scotland but the North East was 50% wetter than usual. September was more than a degree warmer than the average. The month had lower than average rainfall but this conceals very heavy rain early in the month which caused floods in Elgin, Aberdeenshire and the Borders. 123.6mm (5 inches) of rain over 24 hours was recorded at Fochabers. August was the 3rd wettest August ever recorded and the joint wettest ever (with August 1985) in the west of Scotland. The average temperature was more than 0.5°C above the long-term average. The summer of 2009 was the 4th wettest summer ever, following 1985, 1948 and 1956. July was the 5th wettest July in the east of Scotland.
June 2009 was the 6th sunniest June ever recorded and finished with a very warm spell. May 2009 was the 6th wettest and 4th sunniest May ever recorded, and it was also the 9th sunniest month ever recorded, as well as being 0.6°C warmer than average. April was the 3rd warmest April in the records which go back to 1914 and it was also sunnier than average. March was the 5th sunniest ever recorded and a full degree warmer than the long-term average. The east of Scotland was 1.6° warmer than the average. The start of February was cold but temperatures picked up to allow the month to finish with an average temperature above the long-term average. January was the 3rd sunniest January in Scotland according to the records which began in 1929. Although it was cooler than in recent years it was still 0.1°C warmer than the long-term average.
