Introduction to the Adapter concept
Welcome to the world of Adapters with TDI 6.1. The Adapter approach allows you to develop custom connectors for TDI, inside a TDI environment. This approach also allows users to develop and distribute the TDI-based solutions as Adapters. The Adapter architecture is a combination of several features from TDI 6.1, rather than a single feature itself. The following sections walk you through in-detail with the essential things you need to develop custom connectors using the Adapter approach.
At the time this article was under development, TDI V6.1.1 was released. Hence, the article illustrates practical steps for developing custom connectors using the Adpater approach with TDI V6.1.1. However, the same steps also can be followed with TDI V6.1.
Why Adapters?
Adapters serve as an efficient approach for developing custom connectors for TDI. Implementing custom connectors can also be achieved by writing your own Java™ or JavaScript code, outside the TDI environment. However, here are the specific advantages for developing custom connectors using the Adapter approach:
- Leverage TDI development environment: Developers get a better development environment when TDI is used for developing custom connectors when compared to any Java or JavaScript development environment.
- Developing a custom connector inside the TDI environment allows you to leverage functionality provided with TDI. You can use existing default connectors, parsers, function components, and so forth inside your custom connector's implementation. This reduces the efforts required for developing custom connectors.
- The TDI Config Editor serves as a rich development environment where you can develop, debug, and test your solutions before publishing for consumption. The AssemblyLine debugger functionality is greatly revamped with the TDI 6.1 release, which is very helpful for debugging TDI solutions.
- Simple from the end user's perspective: The Adapter approach allows you to implement your custom connector, which can expose its operations similar to normal connector operations. From the end-user's perspective, the custom connector functions like any other connector. You can also expose certain custom operations, which are specific to your need.
- Easier to package and redistribute: After a custom connector is developed using the Adapter approach, it is easier to package and distribute. End-users of the custom connector can use it just like other connectors. Making changes to an already developed custom connector and re-distribution of newer versions is also an easy task if the Adapter approach is followed.
- Better way to develop TDI solutions: Using the Adapter approach, a complex TDI solution, managing multiple data sources, can be addressed as a custom connector. This makes TDI-based solutions more reusable, adaptable to changes, easy to package and deploy.
Key features of TDI for developing Adapters
Developing custom connectors using the Adapter approach is addressed by developing a TDI-based solution. A custom connector is developed with the AssemblyLine methodology, using several new features introduced in TDI 6.1. Most of these features are not developed specifically for the Adapter concept, so they have many use cases for non-Adapter use as well. The section below describes these features, which help to create and use Adapters.
- AL operations: AssemblyLine operations defines the entry points for Adapters. In order to expose connector modes, an Adapter needs to define and implement AL operations.
- Switch/case component: Switch/case component provides the capability to control the flow of execution in an AssemblyLine. The Config Editor provides the ability to generate a Switch/Case sequence of branches based on the operations defined inside the AssemblyLine.
- Flexible connector initialization: This feature provides a configurable option to decide upon when you want a particular connector to establish connection with its target data source, at the time of AssemblyLine execution. Prior to this feature, it was achieved by writing script-based logic.
- Using an iterator in flow: This feature helps to implement Iterator mode in an Adapter.
- AssemblyLine publishing: This feature helps to publish AssemblyLine as a package. Since an Adapter is developed using the AssemblyLine methodology, it is published as a package by using the AssemblyLine Publishing feature.
- Improved GUI to facilitate use of re-usable components: A "resource library" user interface has been added with Config Editor. It acts as a place to keep reusable TDI components such as Connectors, Parsers, and AssemblyLines. Adapters have their own tab section in the resources library.
- AssemblyLine connector: The AssemblyLine connector acts as a primary mechanism to use an Adapter in your AssemblyLine. The AssemblyLine connector is improved with the TDI 6.1 release to deal with Adapter AssemblyLines.
These features are combined into an AssemblyLine, which consists of actual implementation of the custom connector functionality. The developed AssemblyLine solution (custom connector) is published and distributed as a package for others to use this custom connector. The TDI 6.1 User's Guide, sub-section "Adapters" provides in-depth details about each of features described above to build a custom connector using the Adapter approach.
Creating your custom connector using the Adapter approach
Previous sections provided an introduction to the Adapter concept, its importance, and features required to develop an Adapter based solution. This section illustrates how to create a custom connector using the Adapter approach.
The custom connector will be developed as an AssemblyLine-based TDI solution. Below are the initial steps to get ready for Adapter development.
- After installing TDI 6.1.1, launch the Config Editor(ibmditk).
- Create a config file with name "AdapterDemo.xml".
- Add an AssemblyLine to it with name "AdapterAL".
Figure 1. Getting ready for Adapter development
Implementing a custom connector with default connector modes
A connector implements one or more operations that interact with the target data source. These operations are exposed as modes of the connector, so that users can utilize the connector at various places in the data flow of an AssemblyLine.
The following table shows methods (operations) that a developer has to consider when implementing a TDI connector in various modes
Table 1. Mapping Adapter operations to connector modes
- (X) means optional. Will be called if they exist.
- Delta mode requires implementation in a special manner.
- Server mode is not currently supported in Adapters.
- The operation names are case sensitive.
Depending upon the operations implemented, modes are exposed by the custom connector. To implement TDI connector modes, AssemblyLine operations have to be created in the Adapter AssemblyLine. These operations are connector primitives that any connector has to implement, just as if it was implemented in Java or JavaScript.
For example, a connector in "AddOnly" mode allows users to insert data into the data source. In order to implement "AddOnly" mode, you need to implement operation "putEntry" .
Let's now get started with developing a custom connector having an "AddOnly" mode. Here, we will develop an Adapter-based solution exposing the "AddOnly" mode. The custom connector in "AddOnly" mode receives attributes such as firstName, lastName and city. The connector formats this information into proper LDAP entry format and will add the same entry into two different LDAP servers configured at the back-end.
Defining the putEntry operation
In order to expose the AddOnly mode, AssemblyLine must define and implement the "putEntry" operation. The "initialize","querySchema" and "terminate" operations are optional. The Table mentioned above shows this mapping. For more information about each connector operation, refer to section "Implementing your own Components" from TDI 6.1 Reference Guide. Below are the steps for defining the "putEntry" operation.
- Inside the AssemblyLine "AdapterAL", click on Operations tab.
- Click on the image button Insert new object for adding a new operation.
- Name the operation as "putEntry". Note that default operations are case sensitive.
- Click OK.
- Select the operation putEntry from the operations list.
- Go to the "Input Attributes" tab page shown on the right side of the operations list.
- Add new attributes to the Schema section: "firstName", "lastName", "city" one by one.
- Now, select all three attributes added in Schema section and drag them to the Work attribute list.
Figure 2. Defining the putEntry operation
Implementing the putEntry operation
When the operation is defined, it's time to implement actual code in the Adapter for that operation. Here, code is written that deals with the target data source. We can utilize existing one or more connectors, function components, and so forth for implementing actual business logic to deal with the target data sources. You can also write script-based logic as the implementation of an operation. TDI provides you the ability to customize your solution for your needs. Below are the steps to implement the putEntry operation. Here, we will use two LDAP servers as target data sources. So, whenever this Adapter is used in AddOnly mode, it will add the same entry into two different LDAP servers configured at the back-end.
- Inside the AssemblyLine "AdapterAL", go to the "Data Flow" tab.
- Add a new switch component with the name "switch_operations". This is shown in Figure 3 below.
Figure 3. Adding a switch of type AssemblyLine operations
- Select the option AssemblyLine operations shown with the right side switch component panel.
- Click on Add Case components. It will pop-up a message for adding "putEntry" case.
- Click Yes to proceed. The new case "switch_operations_putEntry" will be added under switch component.
- Select the case switch_operations_putEntry. This is shown in Figure 4 below.
Figure 4. Adding operation inside Switch
- As shown in Figure 5, add a script component named "script" to modify the work entry object according to LDAP object format.
Figure 5. Implementing the putEntry operation
- Right-click on and select Add Connector component.
- Select the connector of type "ibmdi.LDAP" with Mode as "AddOnly".
- Name the connector as "LDAP1_add". Click OK to proceed.
- Specify appropriate LDAP connection details with it, pointing to one LDAP server.
- Again, add another LDAP connector in AddOnly mode pointing to second LDAP server.
- Inside the AssemblyLine "AdapterAL", go to "Data Flow" tab.
- Enable "Automatically map all attributes".
This completes the implementation of our Adapter AssemblyLine "AdapterAL". The ZIP file in the Download section at the end of this article contains the AdapterDemo.xml file with "AdapterAL" AssmeblyLine.
Implementing a custom connector with custom connector modes
The previous section described how to create a custom connector with default connector modes. Similarly, we can also develop custom modes for a custom connector.
When are custom modes required?
Generally custom modes are implemented for exposing certain operations that do not suit the standard modes. For example, you can implement a custom connector exposing "disable_account" as a custom mode to disable a user account from a particular data source. Or you can implement a custom connector exposing "getEmployeeID" as a custom mode to retrieve only the EmployeeID attribute from a particular data source.
How are custom modes implemented?
The implementation of a custom mode is similar to what we have seen in the section above with implementation of a default mode, except for the fact that default modes are implemented using standard operation names listed in Table 1in the earlier section. For example, in order to expose the "disable_account" mode with the Adapter AssemblyLine, we need to define and implement operation "disable_account" with it. Refer to the steps mentioned in the sections above for implementing custom modes.
Packaging Adapter for distribution
By this time, we are done with the implementation of our Adapter(custom connector). Now it is ready for publishing so that others can use it. The AssemblyLine publishing feature allows an Adapter to be exported as a package. Publishing an AssemblyLine performs resolution of all inheritance and dependencies between the Adapter AssemblyLine and the rest of the development environment in which Adapter AL was developed. The Package consists of a standard stand-alone config XML file that only contains the Adapter code that can be sent to other TDI developers for inclusion in their resource library. Below are the steps to do this.
- Select the AssemblyLine AdapterAL.
- Right click on it and select Publish option.
- The Package information panel will be displayed. Fill in the details accordingly. Specify the Package ID as "MyLDAPAdapter".
- Click on Save so that the package file will be saved inside the "packages" sub-directory of the TDI solution directory.
You can find this package file MyLDAPAdapter.xml present with the "packages" sub-directory inside the ZIP file in the Download section at the end of this article.
Figure 6. Publishing Adapter as a package
Using the Adapter
There are several ways of using an Adapter inside the TDI environment. After an Adapter is distributed as a package, copy the XML file inside the "packages" sub-directory of the TDI solution directory. Now, you can see the Adapter listed as a connector in the connector list. Alternatively we can also use AssemblyLine Connector to invoke operations on Adapter.
The AssemblyLine Connector is enhanced with the TDI 6.1 release which deals with Adapter style AssemblyLines. The steps below describe how to use the Adapter developed in the previous sections.
- Copy the Adapter XML file (published as package) inside the "packages" sub-directory of the TDI solution directory.
- Launch Config Editor.
- Go to the "Packages" panel displayed on left side corner of the Config Editor.
- Ensure that the "MyLDAPAdapter" package is displayed in the list as shown in Figure 7 below.
Figure 7. Adapter displayed as a package
- Create a config file named "Client.xml" and add an AssemblyLine to it named "ClientAL".
- Inside the AssemblyLine, add a connector of type "FileSystem" connector in Iterator mode with CSV parser.
- Specify a valid CSV file t contaatins entries with the firstName, lastName, and city attributes.
- As shown with Figure 8 below, add a connector of type "AssemblyLine Connector" inside the same AssemblyLine.
- From the "Connection" tab of the connector configuration, click the Query button to query AssemblyLines.
- From the drop-down list, select "Adapter : MyLDAPAdapter:/AssemblyLines/AdapterAL"
- The connector mode will be automatically switched to "AddOnly" mode.
- Inside the AssemblyLine "AdapterAL", go to "Data Flow" tab.
- Enable "Automatically map all attributes".
- Run the Assemblyline.
Figure 8. AssemblyLine connector
This completes the client side development part that invokes Adapter operations. For more details, refer to the file client.xml in the ZIP file in the Download section at the end of this article.
As described in this article, the Adapter concept provides a new approach of developing custom connectors with TDI 6.1. This approach makes TDI act as the most suitable environment for developing custom connectors as compared to any Java or JavaScript development environment. The detailed procedure mentioned with the article can be used by solution developers for developing custom connectors as TDI-based solutions (Adapters).

Dover UK Cruise & Ferry Transfers To/From Central London
Details of Independent Travel Between Dover and Central London
Dover Cruise Terminal 2
Its about 75 miles (120 kms) between Dover and the centre of London.
Between Dover and Central London there is a wide choice of transport, both public transport and private hire, though note there are no direct shared hotel van shuttle style services with frequencies through the day available between London hotels and Dover. There is a cruise bus that is a shared service with hotel drops and pick-ups with a single departure time.
If you do not want to take the expensive transport offered by the cruise line, these are your options:
The cheapest option are the National Express scheduled buses. Full size 50 seat coaches with washrooms that depart from London's Victoria Coach Stations. They do not go to the cruise terminals, you will need a taxi between Dover Town or Dover Ferry Terminal and Dover cruise terminals.
The fastest option are the Dover train services, faster than a taxi. Several trains an hour run along three separate routes between Dover's Priory Station and around 5 major train stations in Central London. The fastest trains by far run between London St Pancras and Dover. Like the National Express buses you will need a taxi between Dover Priory Train Station and Dover cruise terminals.
The only door to door shared service between your hotel in London and the cruise terminal are the Dover Cruise Bus Shuttles . The cruise buses are normally full size touring buses that pick-up and drop at all the major Central London hotel districts and go to the cruise terminals. However in the Dover to London direction the service takes the form of a guided tour transfer unlike in the reverse direct from London where the bus goes direct.
And of course the money no object option is a private car service door to door at a time specified by you. If you have a group there are vans, even coaches available.
Cruise Ship Bus Shuttle
Group Transfer Tours
Private Transfers & Tours
PublicTransport to/From London
Transfer Options Dover From:
The Town of Dover
Cruise Ship Bus
Group Transfer Tours
Private Transfers & Tours
Public Transport
Transfers Options
National Express Coaches
The cheapest option by scheduled public transport are coach services by National Express.
The National Express Coaches are much slower and much cheaper than the train services. They are modern air-conditioned buses with washrooms.
Unlike the trains there are true e-tickets available on-line. Significant for people on cruises is the luggage allowance, 2 cases neither of which should weigh more than 20kg (44lbs) before steep surcharges kick in.
The other critical aspect is that you may well spend more on getting between the cruise ship and bus stops at Dover and between your hotel and London Victoria than on the journey between Southampton and London. In London the bus terminates at Victoria Coach Station, quite a way from many of the hotel districts, this is the only stop, there are not stops at hotels or other locations.
In Dover the bus terminates in Dover Town Centre after visiting Dover Ferry Terminal. The only option to get between either of these and the cruise ship is a 10 minute taxi ride.
National Express To/From Dover - More Details
Dover Cruise Shuttle Bus - London Hotels & Heathrow To/From Dover
Not public transport, but a useful option offering prices approaching public transport with the convenience of door to door transfers between your cruise terminal at Dover and your hotel in Central London or Heathrow Airport.
In the London to Dover direction the bus picks up from hotels in all of the major hotel districts of Central London and Heathrow Airport where it will pick-up from a selection of Heathrow Airport hotels (but not passenger terminals) before going onto Dover with an optional stop at Dover Castle.
In the opposite direction the service takes the form of guided day tour. After leaving the cruise terminal at Dover the tour visits Canterbury and Leeds Castle before performing hotel drops in Central London late afternoon before going onto Heathrow Airport. For Disney Cruises the service visits the Harry Potter Film Studio Tour instead of Canterbury and Leeds Castle.
The vehicles used are normally full size 50 seat luxury air conditioned touring buses like that pictured.
London - Dover Cruise Shuttle Bus - More Details
Train Services Between Dover & London
The fastest way to travel between Dover and London is by train. Rail is often faster than hiring a private car into or out of Central London. Train services are faster and more frequent than the alternative bus public transport between Central London and Dover, but normally much more expensive.
There are three main train lines between London and Dover.
The two services to Charing Cross and Victoria follow the same track for most of the way to London and are similarly priced and take similar lengths of time to complete the railway journey.
The London St Pancras to Dover service is much faster as the trains utilise the high speed tracks built for the Eurostar express trains between England and France.
You pay a small premium for this relative speed on the ticket. However, if you just miss one of these fast trains from Dover, you lose all that time advantage waiting for the next one.
Full Details Of Rail Services Between Dover and London
Transfers Between Cruise Terminals & London Buses & Trains
No shuttle buses are provided between the cruise and the train station or London bus stops at Dover. You therefore need to get a taxi between the cruise terminal and the train station/bus stop. The fare should be around £8.
Taxi cabs at Dover come in a wide range of sizes and shapes, the image tight is fairly typical. If you have two cases per person and more than 2 people you may end up with multiple taxi cabs.
Typical Dover Taxi
Its just a 5 minute drive between the cruise terminals at Dover to/from the railway and bus stations and ferry terminal.
The cruise terminals are far too far to walk with luggage from the train stations.
All fares within Dover should be on a meter.
For longer journeys outside Dover never leap into a taxi without agreeing the price before hand.
Although drivers may offer to accept your Euro or Dollar currency it will almost certainly be at a very, very poor exchange rate. Only do so as a last resort.
The taxi rank at the cruise terminal is well marshalled. Porters from the ship will normally take your luggage as far as the taxi rank immediately outside the front doors of the cruise terminal.
It is customary to leave a small tip with cab drivers, (assuming they provide a good service).
Private Direct Transfers Between Dover and London
Dover Cruise terminal is about 75 miles (120 kms) from Central London. Heathrow Airport is the other (west) side of London from Dover and is much longer but in terms of travel time is similar, around 2 hours direct by vehicle.
We have a full range of vehicles ranging from saloon cars right up to large touring coaches so whatever your group size and amount of luggage we can offer a competitive proposal for your transfer needs.
At airports and cruise terminals the price includes meet and greet, the classic reception formula of our drivers being there with your name on a board as you exit customs/luggage. At hotels will come to the reception area to find you at the time you have stipulated at the time of reservation.

At the beginning of the 2010 college football season, the constant debate among NFL Draft gurus Todd McShay and Mel Kiper concerned the quarterback position.
Who was the better prospect: Andrew Luck or Jake Locker?
The two Pac-10 gunslingers were using this season as a showcase of their talents, with the winner likely securing a spot as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.
Well, fast forward a few months into the season, and Locker has all but disappeared from that conversation.
Luck is the quarterback who's likely going to be chosen first overall, the guy who has the ability to turn a franchise around much like Sam Bradford seems to be doing with the St. Louis Rams.
So maybe that's a more fair comparison. Forget Luck vs. Locker.
I'm talking Luck vs. Bradford.
Here's a breakdown of the two stud quarterbacks and a final decision that should settle the debate.
Who's the better pro prospect: Bradford or Luck?

Job report for city sobering
Milwaukee rises in ranking but still seen as vulnerable
Milwaukee's employment growth rate showed a "modestly encouraging" trend in December, improving its ranking among other major cities, according to a new report from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Still, the report from the Center for Economic Development says that Milwaukee had a net addition of just 22 employed residents in the latest 12-month period, an increase of 0.01%.
Although Milwaukee's ranking among the 50 largest cities improved to 32nd in December, from 41st in November, signs of continued sluggish growth prompted the report's author, Marc Levine, to say Milwaukee "appears to be on the edge of the recession threatening the national economy."
Milwaukee's higher ranking results more from the decline of other cities than any progress in Milwaukee. Using U.S. Labor Department data from household surveys, the report says that of the 18 cities that did worse than Milwaukee in December, all had 12-month declines in employed residents.
Those cities include Chicago, Cleveland, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Mo., and Detroit, all of which helped boost Milwaukee's annual growth ranking among the 20 largest Frost Belt cities. Milwaukee moved up to ninth in December from 12th in November.
"It doesn't seem to me a cause of celebration," said Michael Rosen, an economist at Milwaukee Area Technical College familiar with the report. "Mainly, others have experienced job loss because they've had exposure to the recession."
More than some cities, the diversity of Milwaukee's economy should delay effects from a recession, Rosen said. But he still considers Milwaukee vulnerable.
"The concern is if once the recession hits the local economy with full force, we'd fall back down," Rosen said of the rankings. "That would be discouraging."
Milwaukee's 0.01% annual growth rate in December was down from 0.2% in November. A 0.3% decline in October was Milwaukee's first year-to-year dip in employment since December 2005, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
The longer the comparison period, the worse Milwaukee's progress appears in Levine's report. Since December 2000, the city lost 7% of its number of employed residents. Only Cleveland, San Francisco, Detroit and San Jose, Calif., had poorer showings.
Levine's monthly reports examine the number of city residents saying they're employed rather than the more widely accepted surveys of non-farm payroll jobs, which aren't available for the City of Milwaukee but cover the four-county Milwaukee metropolitan area.
Milwaukee's December unemployment rate of 6.5% - measuring the degree to which jobseekers can't find work - ranked 43rd among the 50 largest cities.

Over the past season I've worked really hard to improve in the Laser and have felt ready to finally reach that top level that I've been seeking for a long time. I was happy to make Gold fleet but 49th and the World Championships really wasn't the result I was looking for. I then followed up a few weeks later at the Europeans with a similar result. I had really wanted to show my big improvements with great results at those event, so I was a bit disappointed with the outcome. I took a few weeks off to step back and re-evaluate my plans to attain my goal of becoming one of the worlds elite Olympic sailors.
During that time off I spoke with Kyle Martin and Riley Finch who are on the Canadian Team in the Finn class. They were both enthusiastic about the idea of getting me into a Finn. I spoke with a few more Canadian Team Coaches along with hours on the phone with my coach Vaughn Harrison. And then the next day I was driving to Toronto to pick up a Finn to use for the upcoming Finn North American Championship in Kingston. My plan was to just give it a try for the regatta, if I liked it, maybe switch to sailing Finn full time, if I didn't like it, back to laser as usual.
The next few days were a steep learning curve. Finn is a much more technical boat than the Laser, so I spent a lot of time learning about tuning the rig and how to use all the sail controls properly, as well as just learning to sail the boat. I trained with the Kyle and Riley for three days leading up to the event, those days proved to be very crucial.
When the regatta started I knew I had to play to the strengths I have from all my days in the laser. I was focused on good strategy on the up-winds, along with proper surfing of the waves on the down-winds. I knew I would struggle against the more experienced Finn sailors in upwind speed and the unlimited pumping for the down-winds. The conditions for the most part ended up complimenting my strengths and I managed to come out with the win in the regatta.
Since then I have done a lot of thinking and considered all possible options, I have had hours of the same conversation with all the people who share my best interest. In the end all conversations lead to the same conclusion, Finn Class it is! The transition from Laser to Finn has been done by many and a large amount of the techniques and fitness elements in the Laser translate very well into Finn. Just thinking about the switch has given me a lot of new motivation I was having trouble finding in the Laser. I'm really excited about what is to come, and it's a refreshing look on the goal to qualify and compete for Canada at the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
So now, for me the next major event is the Miami World Cup at the end of January, which will also serve as the last opportunity for Canada to qualify for a berth in the 2016 Olympics, and I plan to be the sailor get that spot for our country. In the time leading up to that event I have a ton of preparations to make and obstacles to overcome. Apart from just learning to sail the boat better, I have to gain another 15 pounds of muscle and raise enough money to do a proper campaign. Being competitive in the Finn requires a much bigger budget than I ever needed in the laser. Either way I am excited to take on the whole process which will lead me to the Olympic games.

Call for papers for workshop W028
Family dynamics and practical kinship in Africa
Convenors :
Benjamin Rubbers (Université de Ličge, Belgium)
Mail to : email@example.com
Joël Noret (Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium)
Mail to : firstname.lastname@example.com
Short abstract:
By taking practical kinship as a point of departure, this workshop aims at reflecting upon current changes in African gender identities, in relations between generations on the continent, as well as in the place of extended families, or lineages, in the everyday life of African households.
Long abstract:
In a context marked by an increasing economic insecurity and spatial mobility, family dynamics have become a hotly debated issue both in African households and African studies. However, this topic would certainly gain from a focus on the influence of everyday relationships in the re-definition of family roles and networks. By taking practical kinship as a point of departure, this workshop aims at reflecting upon changes (a) in gender identities, (b) in relations between generations, and (c) in the place of extended families, or lineages, in the everyday life of African households. This tri-dimensional focus on practical kinship is meant to allow discussion about larger issues such as trust, respect, reciprocity, domesticity, or belonging. The decline of living conditions and the transnationalisation of families in the last twenty years show just how important a detailed study of these topics is for our understanding of contemporary Africa.
The following are possible areas of investigation for this workshop: how various family models, or ideologies, influence actual relationships between relatives? What changes do we observe in the reciprocity practices between generations? How did the definitions of motherhood and fatherhood evolve in the past thirty years? In African societies historically marked by slavery, do past slave relations still matter in the organization of lineages? This list of questions is not exhaustive. The aim of this workshop is to offer empirical data and theoretical insight about family dynamics in Africa. All paper proposals dealing with this subject are welcome.
Submission of papers online:
The call for paper closes on 1st March 2010. However, the convenors would appreciate to receive informal proposals before 15 February 2010.

Pennsylvania's top utility regulator on Tuesday scolded one of the region's biggest electricity suppliers for imposing a surcharge on fixed-rate customers to recover some of its high winter costs.
Robert F. Powelson, chairman of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, chided FirstEnergy Solutions (FES) for notifying customers that they will be hit with a onetime fee ranging from $5 to $15, even though those customers had signed up for fixed-rate deals.
"I think there's a stench associated with the request put forward by this company to recover these costs," Powelson told a hearing Tuesday of the Pennsylvania Senate Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure Committee.

Another thing is football you have people grabbing and wrapping you up which leads to twisted ligaments and such. Football you also see guys getting hit by multiple players and they can also be put into very prone areas like jumping to retrieve balls. Football players seem to be more reckless with all the helmet to helmet, horse collar tackles and face mask. Id personally would rather take a hit from kronwall then have two warren sapp sized linemen jump on top of me.
Edit: spelling
Yeah, football is a really grinding sport. Not only are you getting hit, you're getting twisted, straining against piles of extraordinarily heavy people, etc.
I have no doubt hockey hits are harder. Physical guys skating at high speeds against glass and wood? Yeah, the distance alone leading up to a hit is much greater than in football, I'd say, so the impact would have to be higher in force.
However, the two are really different and I don't think this proves either one is necessarily tougher than the other.

Victory: Nike Suspends Vick Contract
Following PETA protests outside Niketown stores and countless calls and emails to the company asking that they cut ties with Michael Vick in light of horrific allegations of his involvement with dogfighting rings, Nike has released the following statement:
"Nike has suspended Michael Vick's contract without pay, and will not sell any more Michael Vick product at Nike-owned retail at this time."
As a result, we have called off our planned protests outside Nike stores around the country. Thanks to everyone who wrote to the company about this issue or attended the demonstrations, and thanks to Nike for doing the right thing by ending its association with someone accused of torture.
Reebok has also made the decision to stop sales of Michael Vick apparel, stating:
"While we respect the legal process we find the allegations against Mr. Vick too disturbing to ignore, therefore, we have decided to immediately suspend selling Vick NFL product, both at retail and online through the Reebok website."
This is great news for anyone who is concerned about cruelty to animals, and we hope that it sends a strong message to the NFL that they need to do the same thing and suspend Michael Vick immediately, pending the outcome of this case. To send a message to the NFL asking them to get on with that, please click here.
Commenting is closed.
I've been a fan of Michael Vick for a long time. More often than not he's done good things with his life. I support Michael Vick. Dog fighting is not something I agree with but I can understand it. I also understand that people are products of their environment and influences. I'd like to learn more about Michael Vick. Why is he involved in this and to what extent? I'm sure he has made bad decisions like we all have. He needs to clean things up and move on. That's all there is to it. Michael Vick has a lot of good in him. I like Michael Vick.
New Breaking News !!!!!!!!! One of Vick's codefendants doesn't want to wait for trialTony Taylor is going to hv a plea agreement hearing at 9 a.m.Monday at the Federal Building re the dogs fighting case. once he spill the beans in order to get off the hook he is going to nail VICK Sorry Vick u r past tense. lol
wowww this is great news! i 333 peta!!!!! to all you people who say that peta cares more about animals than people get a life this is an animal rights organization not a human rights one. and why should a human be more important than an animal for heaven's sake both suffer and feel pain and fear. an animal is not a "thing" which we can use for our pleasure. it is a living breathing creature. PLEASE try and remember that the next time you post. once again great work peta!!!
I like how everyone here cares more about Dogs than People. When are you going to start helping Homeless People and not Stray Dogs. Gotta love how you convicted Vick before his trial.
No we will NEVER get used to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And whoever thinks we are going overboard should burn in hell with Michael Vick! Yes you heard me burn in HELL! Sick twisted minds are the only ones that would allow such a perverse activity to go on and think its okay… I pray and hope Michael Vick gets kicked out of the NFL and all bad things happen to him nothing he will ever do will bring those poor dogs back but at least he can suffer like they did.
Michael Vick is innocent until proven guilty. I am against dog fighting but we do not even know all the facts of the case. Am I to assume PETA will reimburse Vick his lost salary if he is proven innocent?
thank u peta for being the voice for all the helpless animals in our country thank u peta for organizing the e mail system so i can write to nike thank u nike for doing the right thing finally thank u all animal lovers for taking michael vick and his bro's horrible crime very seriously this time thank u whoever hired the helicopter flying over falcon's trainning camp with the banner " new team name? dog killer team?" i wish u can hire them everyday until falcon fire vick for good thank u god my two dogs and cat are safe at home with me.
it's a damn shame how we are so quick to judge people. now when they had our black asses in slavery treating us like damn anmials it was ok. but let someone hear about damn dogs being mistreated you go all out. you don't even know the full facts and hear your crazy ass ready to stand in the hot ass sun and protest. protest for some real issues like hunger or mistreatment of people everyday. or homeless people you great animal lovers look down up on when they ask for a simple dollar. it aint about the dogs your just pissed because he's young black and has money. as long as he was running the damn ball and making touch downs you were happy as can be he was the best thing since butter.oh how quickly you turn. you people need to get a life and a real job and stop with the damn protesting. because there are much worse things going on in the world besides dog fighting . try protesting against child molester's that should keep you busy for awhile. and who where's reebok anyway?
this is great! Thank you Peta Thank you!!!! thank you thank you! dog fighting is sick and anyone involve in this is sick in the head! How can people enjoy watching an innocent living creature suffer! Nike and Reebook are doing the right thing! Yes hes innocent until proven guilty but common sense would tell you that he's somehow involved in this. Look at all the evidence they found on his property he has a website about this he "had" a dog breeding licence..the guy is sick in the head. regardless of his tough background. There's no excuse for this!
Thank you PETA for being the voice for all those dogs who died at the hands of Michael Vick. Thanks to Nike and Reebok for doing the right thing.
I just have a question. Why would Nike give that kind of money to one man when you have so many people buying your product anyway? Nike needs to focus more on the working people that is actually buying your merchandise instead of wasting it away on the likes of vick. We are the ones buying your products..hard working families. How about Marketing do everyday lives wearing your shoes. At a homecoming I am not as most spouses wearing high heeled open toed shoes. Have you or your marketing dept. experienced that? No we wear tennis shoes. Dah Nike you have a market. Think about it..mom soccer mom after work taking her kids to soccer the dog needs a nice Nike bed to sleep in a Nike leash collar. Marketing wake up to the opportunity to expand your creative minds.
ATTENTION All Peta Supporters!!! WOULD YOU DIE RIGHT NOW FOR YOUR DOG? WOULD YOU SACRIFICE A HUMAN LIFE FOR YOUR DOG? IF YOUR CHILD WAS SICK AND GOD ASK YOU DO YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO LIVE OR YOUR DOG WHICH WOULD YOU CHOSE? DO YOU REALLY THINK A MAN WORTH $250 MILLION IS WASTING HIS TIME LIVING IN SOME $400 GRAND HOUSE GETTING HIS HANDS BLOODY EVERYDAY BY DOGFIGHTING? seriously I understand you people have a purpose but this is fucking ridiculous!! RAY LEWIS was accused of 1st Degree Murder OF A FUCKING HUMAN and he's still playing come back and won the Super Bowl. JAMAL LEWIS caught trafficking kilos of cocaine came back and won the Super Bowl with Ray Lewis. YA'LL CRACKAZ JUST DON'T WANNA SEE A YOUNG BLACK MAN WITH ALL THAT MONEY AND LOVE. YOU COULD CARE LESS BOUT THE DOGS I SEE STRAYS ALL THE TIME. IF HE WAS BROKE BACK IN THE HOOD FIGHTING DOGS SELLING DOPE KILLIN OTHER BROTHERS YA"LL WOULDN'T SAY SHIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!! AMEN
Thank you PETA and all the activists did the right thing. Now hopefully the NFL will also do the right thing. The type of behaviour Michael Vick participated in is sickening. Vick and all animal abusers deserve to be abused and tortured the same way those poor animals were.
I am all for animal rights but I think you all go a little to far in what you do. It would be so nice if some of that energy is put into the RIGHTS of humans. If this country cared about HUMANS as much as you care about these animals it would be a whole lot better.
Thank God for PETA! You're doing a great job Keep up the good work LONG LIVE PETA FOREVER!!!! Tammye
Yay! This is great news. Nike doesn't need to be supporting someone who would inflict so much suffering and torture on dogs.
I am completely in agreement that Mr. Vick's alleged actions are dispicable and if true he deserves to do hard time! However from a Dallas Cowboy's fan and not one that supports the Atlantal Falcons in any way I do not understand why your organization finds it necessary to demonstrate outside of the training camp headquarters of the team. Mr. Blank took immediate and just action considering the cicumstances by suspending him and you still chose to protest. What incentive is your association offering to anyone involved in a similar scenario in the future to do the right thing? The Falcons have little or no control over what the players do on their own time as they are adults with the ability to make good and bad decisions. You should do the same and focus your efforts towards the guilty parties and support those that are attempting to do what is right!
And NikeGoddess where the hell were YOU when your employer was running ads with dog fighting in them? Bet you just shut up and didn't have a word to say did you! Hypocrites are the worst
Notice how very nervous all the dog fighters and breeders are? REPORT THEIR BUTTS to the Feds Look for their "breeding" operations with tons of dogs tied outside Look for the traffic to and from their residences including vans picking up dogs to deliver to fights around the country CALL THE FEDS and also demand that local law enforcement stop letting this organized crime go on
I know it is hard to reach this organization since you only want to hear from like minded people and everyone is nuts and you only post what you want which fair. I really care much about Michael Vick or football. But it is just that football. what he does on the field is his business and i don't care how many dogs he fights or kills. As a matter of fact all pitbulls should be destroyed.stupid parents let young kids buy these fashionable pets because they are todays new thing. sports stars are not roll models. parents are. It is just like the Mike Tyson rape scandal. I don't care who he rapes. It has nothing with boxing. I see young kids with pitbulls in the neighborhood alot chasing people while the parents just look on. some have been shot as they should be.
I find in unbelievable that you folks have already tried convicted and punished Michael Vick before he has even had a change to stand trial.I can't make a judgement on Mike Vick because I don't know all the facts and I should not make judgement nor should you until he has a chance to defend himself and stand trial. You folks have robbed an American Citizen of his right to receive a fair trial. Where are you folks when the terroists behead innocent people or a child is kidnapped or murdered? Come on I love animals and would never harm one. Leave Vick alone until he is proven innocent of guilty. You folks are sick and should be ashamed of yourselves. You know God says you reap what you sow so I hope none of you are ever accused of a crime or you may be tarred and feathered before you stand trial. I will pray for each of you.
Due PROCESS?? What happen to Imus with due possess? What were you saying then? When you are a public figureyou put your self out there. The court of public opinion and due process are not the same and never will be. No one ever forced Vick to play in the NFL he offered himself freely to the court of public opinion. Oh and Gary ever heard of spell check or some sort of proper grammar.
PETA I know you mean well but you go about your beliefs the wrong way. I guess it makes you feel good about yourselves to ruin someone's life before you know of their innocence or guilt. Someone needs to form an organization against PETA then maybe you can know how it feels to be defamed. Too bad animals can't talk cause I'm sure they would voice how ashamed they are to have such an EVIL group of HYPOCRITES stand up for their rights. "PETA SUCKS"!!!
Congratulations PETA on another victory. Persistance can be a great thing. In regards to the Nike employee's post below…if people had called up and "been nice" nothing most likely would have been done and Vick's merchandise would still be sitting on Nike's shelves. Sometimes you have to scream and not whisper to get your voice heard. Dogfighting is abhorrant and if Nike continued to condone Vick's alleged involvement that would have been unfortunate.
Way to go PETA and eveyone else who protested. It proves good can kill evil sometimes and you redneck idiots and trash that supposrt this will answer to a higher power later. Pathetic losers.
It's really sad PETA has treat this man like he has murdered a human being.For God sakes Lay off Ray Carruth never got this treatment! oh I forgot he only shot a woman that was pregnant with his child!!!!
i hope you guys go after every tomdick and joe the same way you went after vick but as we all now you want PETA is a bunch of bs that only gets involved when its a big catch. Why are you selling sack vick shirts mugs hats etc. You're no better than Vick and you completely shamed yourself at falcons camp with your behavior
Mike Vick hasn't even been convicted yet. People are dying of torture yet we have this FRUITY group of people arguing for fair treatment of ANIMALS! Our world is seriously going down hill. Anyways I hope Vick is cleared of everything and then all of you fruits can eat your dog's crap.
Way to go activists! I'm truly impressed with Nike and Reebok and appreciate PETA for taking a stand on issues that are important! Of course we all believe Vick and his 'friends' should be considered innocent until proven guilty. However Vick and his friends deserve what they're getting based SOLELY on the way the animals living on that property were being treated chained penned lacking medical care etc.. If when they're proven guilty in a court of law nothing less than prison time and stiff financial penalties will do! Let's not feel sorry for the financial loss he's taken try to remember the real victims here the animals who have died horrible deaths or lived horrible lives so others can profit from their suffering! PETA didn't do this to him HE did this to himself! I'm so proud of PETA and all their supporters! I remember a time when people thought slavery was 'ok' and it was 'wrong' for women to vote. I hope I live to see the day when animal cruely is no longer considered acceptable!
Who is JD Powers? July 27 2007 0647 PM. Michael Vick forever? This person must be just trying to get a laugh or he truly must be stupid. This guy took the time to post this? It's sad how stupid some people are.
Im happy with nike and reebok's decision to suspend sales on vicks merchandise. six years in jail isnt enough of a punishment to someone who commits such horrific acts on animals. its people like him that give my two pit bulls bad names and as for those of you who are defending Vick. you're just as guilty as he his.
Thank you to all who protested outside of the court room.I would have liked to have been there but it was too far from me. Jersey gal
I hope that by Nike Reebok and Donruss pulling Vick merchandise will set an example to other companies and organizations to cut complete ties with Michael Vick. This behavior from someone who is suppose to be a role model is dusgusting and pathetic. Hopefully the judicial system will do the right thing and not give him special treatment because of his celebrity.
Thanks to Nike and Reebok for doing the right thing!
im glad I took part in this victory that guy is a douche bag
how can i help to contribute to the Vick prosicution fund? I cannot watch listen to nor envision what happened at that home without getting sick! Jail is not good enough for him.
I just want to say a few things…I am a huge dog lover and have had dogs all my life. But fortunately in the USA we have this wonderful thing called due process and "innocent until proven guilty." Having said that I do think it unimaginable that Vick is not involved in this abhorent behavior. However as an employee of Nike I can not believe the threats and amazingly nasty phone calls we have received at my location. People who treat anyone in this manner should be ashamed and if you promote this type of behavior I really have to question your tactics. How about we promote treating all living and breathing things with respect and dignity rather than having the option of using situations of this manner to be disgustingly disturbing towards others. I love my company and I love my job. In fact there is no other place I would ever want to work because of the way Nike treats their employees with care respect and dignity. After 3 years of employment I feel qualified to say so. And for those of you who did resort to making these threats using foul language and condesending remarks in my book you're no better than the Vick supporters themselves. SHAME…SHAME!!!
Don't forget to add Reebok
THANK YOU PETA FOR PUSHING CORPORATE AMERICA TO TAKE A ETHICAL STAND ON OUR DUTY TO TREAT ANIMALS HUMANELY. I truly respect your work and hope that the result of the media attention on this sickening "sport" will result in some meaningful change to help these innocent animals.
It is so interesting that an organization would be all for suspending and firing of Famous people who are caught in the midst of a scandal when they have not been proven guilty or innocent. I say this an american citizen. That although the U.S.A says innocent until proven guilty that people have already made a judgement on a person. So while you are out persecuting a celebrity and wanting him fired what exactly are you doing to make sure that the non celebs that may be participating in dog fighting and cruelty to animals are paying for their crimes. I ask this question because the only time I really hear about PETA in the news is when it is involving a famous person but I do not hear about your activities and what you stand for and what you are doing in your local communities.
I find this person Michael Vick to be the lowest form of human life on the planet. Given the fact that the U.S. Attorney's office has historically been extremely conservative with regards to taking cases that are winnable I find it extraordinarily unlikely that he is an innocent person. I use the word "person" very loosely. He deserves the same fate as the animals he tortured maimed and killed. Even if one were to assume he knew nothing about the goingson at HIS property he is just as culpable or even moreso to allow such grisly murders for a period of 5 years. I am sick to my stomach every time I view a picture of this piece of trash.
Yeeeeaaahhh!!!! We will continue to fight for the victims of psychos like Vick!!!!
this is BS! look what you have done what does this solve! YOu all can kiss your pets in the mouth and mike vicks ass!
What happened to due process? A beautiful orginization has become blood drunk for someone who hasnt yet been convicted. I hope you in the future would treat your fellow man as you treat your gods the pets you hide behind to afflict pain and discrimination. May GOD still bless you all…Because he is the true judge and jury!!!!!
Good job everyone!! I'm glad that Nike finally realized this SOB was ruining the bottom line. I'm just sad it took so long. Keep up the good work.
Can you please post a link or a form to write a thank you note to Nike? I think we as activists should recognize their efforts. Sure they have a whole slew of other issues that need to be dealt with but I think it's the right thing to do to thank them for this.
Usally someone is inocent untill proven guilty. If it come out that he had no involement is peta willing to reburse him is pay since peta had so much pressure on his employer.
This is GREAT news hopefully Nike and Reebok's withdrawl to Vick Merchandise will send a message around the world at how sick and cruel dogfighting is to animals. Dogs are mans best friends they assist us in so many ways. All dogs should be treasured.
You guys at PETA should really look at what you're doing. You guys have gone completely overboard in your protest. Dogfighting is something that has been America for years and it will never go away. In other words GET USED TO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MICHAEL VICK FOREVER BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

Andrea Nill: This week, a judge will decide on whether the federal government bears culpability for another immigration detention slip up: the August 2008 death of Chinese immigrant, Hiu Lui "Jason" Ng.
