Now, if the above features, which are mostly for businesses, would make your head spin, you can skip them and move on to the server's other handy features that everybody can relate to and love. They are a set of "stations," of which I most like the trio of Download, Photo, and Surveillance.
The Download Station allows the server to download files from the Internet by itself, from any FTP and HTTP sites, including sites that require authentication (such as RapidShare). It's also the best BitTorrent application I've seen that lets you search for what you need and download it via a few clicks. You can also tailor the Download Station to use a certain amount of bandwidth as well as avoid certain types of content, such as those that could pose a copyright infringement violation.
The DS712+'s Surveillance Station supports up to 16 IP cameras. This means you can use the NAS server as a video recorder and management station of a very comprehensive surveillance system, again, possibly the best I've seen. Unfortunately, only one camera license is included, and additional camera licenses cost $50 each. This feature worked incredibly well in my testing. I could record images based on scheduling or motion detection. When multiple cameras were used, I could even synchronize the playback to see what happened at different cameras at a given time. The server supports a long list of current IP cameras and can automatically detect those connected to the local network to facilitate the setup process. Synology also offers an app called DS Cam for the iPhone and Android devices so you can manage your surveillance via your mobile device, even when you're out and about.
The Photo Station enables you to easily organize photos into albums. Once activated, a share folder called "photo" will be created. Photos stored in this share folder will be automatically placed into well-organized, customizable albums, one for each subfolder. You can then browse the album via a Web browser, like a Google Picasa Web album, and very easily add captions and comments to each photo or album. The Photo Station also offers a complete blogging engine for those who want to chronicle their lives with both photo and texts. And like the Surveillance Station, the Photo Station comes with a mobile app called DS Photo for both iPhone and Android platforms. The Photo Station has separate sets of user accounts from the NAS servers. This enables the owner to share photos and blogs with others without compromising the security of other types of data and services on the server. In my testing, the Photo Station took a rather long time to generate photo thumbnails, which would be a problem if you wanted to add a large number of photos at a time. If you want to add fewer than 100 photos at a time, which most of us do, you won't notice the slow thumbnail-building time.
Note that all of these stations can be accessed via the local network or over the Internet. The server's File Station also enables downloading and uploading files to and from any computer connected to the Internet. You do need to set it up, which requires some know-how about networking, but it worked really well in my trial. While lacking the "personal cloud "designation, the DS712+, when properly set up, is one of the most versatile personal cloud NAS servers I've seen. Especially since it's one of the few that also has a built-in VPN server.
On top of that, the DS712+ supports Macs very well, including Mac OS 10.7 Lion and its Time Machine backup software. The server has all the other media features typically supported by other NAS servers, such as media streaming. It can even play back music via a USB speaker connected to its USB port or stream music to mobile device via mobile applications.
The DS712+ has built-in backup options that are focused on backing up its content onto an external storage device or a network location. For backing up files on your computer to the DS712+, Synology bundles the server with its Data Replicator desktop software. This is a simple, straightforward backup application that lets you quickly copy data, much like copying and pasting using Windows Explorer, from your computer to the DS712+. Also, the software has a nice feature that helps you find and quickly back up e-mail archives, which generally are buried deep in layers of subfolders within a user profile. In addition, it also supports scheduling and keeping track of the backup process via e-mail notification. However, we found that the software is little buggy at times and might kick you out of a different application, such as a game, when the backup process starts.
We tested the DS712+ with its Hybrid RAID and RAID 0, and the server's performance was stellar via Gigabit Ethernet. In Hybrid RAID, which is similar to RAID 1 since the server has only two hard drives, it scored 89.9MBps and 98.8MBps in write and read, respectively. These numbers were among the best I've seen, second to only those of the higher-end DS1511+.
The server did slightly better in RAID 0, which is optimized for performance at the expense of data integrity, averaging 97.7MBps for writing and 100.3MBps for reading.
All in all, we were very happy with the DS712+'s performance. It was consistently one of the fastest I've reviewed. The server also performed very quietly; the only mild noise I could hear from it was that of the internal hard drives. Its ventilation fan, though large, was extremely quiet.
(Longer bars indicate better performance)
Service and support
Synology backs the DS712+ with a three-year warranty from the date of purchase, which is one year longer than you get with the DS410. Phone tech support is available Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT. At Synology's Web site, you can find its forum, download software and the latest firmware, and get more information about its products from its wiki page.
With great performance and a vast amount of helpful, easy-to-use, yet advanced features, the well-designed Synology DiskStation DS712+ is the best dual-bay NAS server on the market to date. It'll make an exciting product for those who have the desire and ability to get the most out of home and business networking.

With the advent of the Web, IBM created a large body of documentation in HTML pages. To move this documentation to a more reusable, topic-oriented architecture, many groups within IBM had to migrate much of the information to DITA.
The migration process, however, posed a challenge. The legacy content was produced using many tools, each with different HTML styles, which made it difficult to use a common migration process. Unless you use an extremely strict HTML authoring template, there will often be something that confuses a simple migration utility.
This article is the first of a two-part series on how we met these challenges. Part 1 focuses on the migration itself; when it works best and what you need to do to use it. We also share some of the techniques that we have learned during our own migration efforts.
The code provided here is used within IBM to convert HTML articles to DITA. Although many authors have used this migration tool without changes, we know that this is not always possible. We distribute this to you knowing that it is a generic transform and that it cannot handle every HTML article. In many cases, articles already contain specific markup that can easily match DITA structures. In this case, you are advised to override parts of the migration to get a more effective migration and to save any existing information architecture. Part 2 will give details on how to override the migration tool to get results specific to your information.
If you have simple HTML topics, do not want to get your hands dirty with XSLT, or already expect to do cleanup on the DITA output, this article should be all you need. The tool provided is enough to get you well on your way to the total DITA experience.
If you want to play with the XSLT in order to minimize manual cleanup, you should treat this article as an introduction. You still need to know what is required prior to migration and what to expect before you add your extensions. Then, you can move on to the second article for information on how the XSLT is organized, as well as a sample of how to easily override the default migrations.
If you are unfamiliar with DITA, the following two articles are a good place to start:
When are articles good candidates for migration?
Not every HTML topic can or should be migrated to DITA. Several examples of topics that should not be converted are given in the article "Why use DITA to produce HTML deliverables?" These topics include special-purpose HTML-based UI, articles created for appearance instead of content, and one-of-a-kind articles that do not need to change or be reused. Some other topics should be converted, but cannot be migrated well with an automated tool. These topics are typically written with an old HTML authoring tool, or make heavy use of tables, lists, and indented quotes solely to aid in presentation.
The DITA architecture is focused on topics, relatively small pieces of information that can fit in a browser window with minimal scrolling. Any migration to DITA works better for information that is already stored in this manner.
The best candidates for conversion are topics that use well-structured HTML, or those using a standard authoring template.
Analyze your content
Is your content already divided among concepts, tasks, and reference articles? If not, you might need to rework your articles before migrating. DITA articles are usually authored using these three information types, or using a more generic topic type for information that does not fit any of the main categories. If possible, you should try to migrate directly into one of the three specific types; otherwise, you will likely end up needing another migration down the road.
The migration technique discussed here involves the use of some commonly available tools, such as HTML Tidy and any version of XSLT. We will explore premigration cleanup (such as global edits or HTML Tidy), up-translation using XSLT migration scripts/transforms, and post-migration validation and touch-ups.
The basic migration script discussed in this article targets one information type at a time. If you can divide your information into directories to represent the three types, it's easier to convert each as a group. We use a batch utility that converts every HTML file in a given directory using the same information type. Having each type in a distinct directory makes it very easy to convert all topics using only a few commands. Of course, you can also write a script that selectively chooses the best way to migrate each file in a mixed directory of HTML topics.
Items to clean up
This migration utility only works with valid XHTML files, so most HTML files must be cleaned up before processing. The best way to do this is to use the Tidy command (see Resources). When using Tidy, you should have it leave off the document type so that the migration utility does not attempt to validate each of your files.
The transform drops the presentation elements

 and

 because DITA has no matching tags.
If you use these elements strategically to help convey something to the
reader, you might want to look for some other way to present your
information. One method might be to use preformatted text instead of

, or to use tables instead of
separating sections with

. This
might also be a sign that the topic generally needs to be revised if you
are going to move it to DITA.
Aside from the necessary conversion from HTML to XHTML with Tidy, you also
need to determine whether it's easier to do other cleanup before or after
the migration. The best way to do this is to try converting a few sample
files first. If the HTML contains regular structures that can be easily
modified, such as

 elements that
serve no real purpose, you might find it easier to update them before the
conversion. However, the migration utility emits messages when it
encounters problems, which typically makes it easy to find the problems
after the migration. With post-migration updates, you can also use a
validating editor to ensure that your cleanup is effective.
Other general migration notes
Here are some other things to keep in mind as you proceed:
- As written, the provided migration utility operates on a single file. It takes in the desired information type as a parameter (infotype), and creates the topic accordingly. Values for the infotype parameter are either topic (the default), task, concept, or reference; the output is always a single value in a single file.
- If your HTML content already has a topic architecture, you can conserve the existing architecture by migrating HTML pages into specific topic types. Using more specific types has many advantages; for example, links are sorted by type in the output. This also makes it easier to organize your presentation, and makes it easier to find information when you know what you are looking for. Here at IBM, users who convert straight to the topic often find that they want more specific topics down the road, resulting in another migration step.
- If the migration is done with XSLT 1.0, the doctype cannot be included
in the output. You need the doctype to continue using the topics after
they are in DITA. In this case, you have several options:
- The doctype can be added manually with a batch processor or with an editor that supports search-and-replace across multiple files.
- You can create a wrapper XSLT shell that sets the proper doctype, and imports the migration. This requires that you call a different shell for each information type.
- Some processors allow you to get around this problem by setting the doctype with a variable. For example, Saxon allows you to specify XSLT 1.1, and then set the doctype dynamically.
This utility assumes that you will set the doctype on your own; however, it contains code that takes advantage of Saxon's XSLT 1.1 processing (this might work with other processors as well). If you want to set the doctype dynamically using Saxon's 1.1 level processing, you can do so very easily, even if you know nothing about XSLT. The provided program opens with the code shown in Listing 1:
Listing 1. Beginning code
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" indent="no" encoding="utf-8" /> <xsl:param name="infotype">topic</xsl:param>
To switch over to the dynamic version, you must place comment markers around this code (just put
after it). Next, you must remove the same comment markers from the code shown in Listing 2.
Listing 2. XSLT code for creating doctypes dynamically

- When you convert links, the extensions for any local HTML topics are
changed to ".dita". Links to external or non-HTML resources remain
unchanged. If you do not expect to use the ".dita" extension, this can
be changed with the
dita-extensionparameter. Simply pass in your preferred value (such as
dita-extension=xml), or change the value in the source code.
- An ID attribute on a DITA topic is required. The migration utility
determines the ID by examining the name of the HTML file (which should
be passed in as a parameter). If the HTML file name is not passed in,
a generated ID is used. If you want to use another method for creating
the topic ID, such as the topic title or a phrase near the start of
each topic, you should update the
genidattributetemplate or change the default for the
- In general, the migration tool makes a best guess as to how to migrate
any given element. However, in some cases the existing structure of
the data does not map reliably to a proper DITA element. Any time the
utility cannot determine the correct way to migrate, it places the
contents in a
<required-cleanup>element, and the tool generates a message that the output must be fixed.
What does this migration not do?
The most important thing to know when using this migration is that it is intended for topics. An HTML page shouldn't contain the equivalent of multiple book sections, but should instead contain a single section without any nested sections. As stated above, the DITA architecture is focused on topics; information that is written for books needs to be redesigned in order to fit into a topic-based architecture. You can also use DITA maps after migration to reconstitute hierarchies by defining nesting for the converted topics.
It is also important to remember that this really is a migration; it
is not very useful as part of a processing pipeline. If you do not start
with topic-oriented information, you cannot create real topics just by
going through DITA. You also need to do at least minimal cleanup after
your HTML topics are migrated to DITA. While it would be possible for you
to drastically modify the XSLT in order to remove the cleanup, this just
gives you problems the next time one of your authors inserts a

 tag where you do not expect it. In
the long run, it is far easier to migrate the files, clean up the DITA
content, and then control any output needs with CSS.
Allowances for special HTML practices
As you are probably aware, you can do all kinds of things with HTML to
adjust your presentation, which sometimes has the side effect of
misrepresenting your content. For example, a block quote could actually be
a block quote, or it could just be a paragraph that somebody wants to
indent. Well-structured HTML avoids the

 element in favor of
CSS-based presentation. This is the same approach that DITA takes. So,
when migrating to DITA, it is often necessary to fix the markup at the
same time.
On several projects, we had users with a large number of topics that were
authored in RoboHelp. Many of these files did not convert well because of
the method by which the ordered lists were saved. Each item in the list
was placed in its own ordered list, and numbering was preserved by using
the start attribute on each list. For example, the fifth item appeared in
the fifth list as

. For
lists that needed extra space, an empty paragraph was introduced between
each list item.
In DITA it is much better to store this as a single list, and then control
the spacing of your output with CSS. This is especially important when
working with tasks, which only allow a single
<steps> element; you cannot separate each
item into its own
<steps> element.
We take care of this by checking the topic to see if it contains any lists with a start attribute. If so, we run an initial pass over the topic that copies the entire tree, while merging any lists that should be together. If you want to see how this is done in the provided XSLT, look for the "shift-lists" mode. The result tree is placed in a variable, and the contents of that variable are then processed as if they were the original file.
This method of processing a variable can cause problems with some XSLT processors (the Saxon processor mentioned above handles it without any problems). If this is the case with your processor, you can send the merged XHTML to a temporary file, and then process that instead. You can also set up an actual two-pass model and run the transforms in sequence, or just ignore the problem and merge your lists manually after the migration. Note that this is only an issue if you actually have lists that use the start attribute; if this attribute is not used, the merging process is skipped.
The process described here was originally written as an override for RoboHelp users. However, anybody who has this markup would want the override, so we folded it back into the original migration.
Running the migration
If you don't want to change the XSLT, you're ready to go; all you need to do is download the XSLT and place it somewhere on your system. You can use any XSLT processor to try converting a topic.
Before you run the XSLT itself, you need to ensure that the files are valid
XHTML. One easy way to do this is with the
command (see Resources). We use several options
with Tidy to make sure that the XHTML is as clean as possible:
Table 1. Tidy command options
|Tidy option
NOBR, and
Center tags with references to
|When possible, entities use numeric values rather than named values.
|Causes the original file to be replaced with the updated file. If you use this option, be sure you have a backup of your original HTML file.
--output-xml yes
|Ensures that the output is valid XML.
--doctype omit
|Prevents any doctype from appearing in the output. When the output is XHTML, this prevents your XSL parser from attempting to validate each XHTML topic before converting it.
So a sample call to Tidy might look like this:
tidy -c -n -m --output-xml yes --doctype omit input.htm > output.htm
Again, you should remember to back up your HTML files before using this call. A batch utility might be helpful at this point; at IBM, we have a simple batch script that creates a backup of every HTML file in the directory, and then updates the files.
Now that you have valid XHTML topics, you can move on to the XSLT calls that migrate your topic.
- The call in Listing 3 creates a task, using a generated ID for the
task's ID and ".dita" as the default
Listing 3. Sample calls to the migration, using Saxon and Xalan
java com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet mytask.htm h2d.xsl infotype=task > mytask.dita java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in mytask.htm -xsl h2d.xsl -out mytask.dita -param infotype task
- The call in Listing 4 creates a concept, using the file's name as the
ID and ".xml" as the default
Listing 4. More complex calls to the migration, with additional parameters
java com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet myconcept.html h2d.xsl infotype=concept FILENAME=myconcept.html dita-extension=xml > myconcept.xml java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in myconcept.html -xsl h2d.xsl -out myconcept.xml -param infotype task -param filename myconcept.html -param dita-extension xml
If you have a large group of topics to convert, it is a good idea to develop a batch file to do this. Our batch file converts all of the topics in a directory using the same information type, which means that we have to separate each type prior to migration. You might find that this is the easiest path; alternatively, you could create a batch file that queries you for the information type prior to migrating each topic.
You have a lot to gain by moving your topics from HTML to DITA. To start with, you can more easily reuse topics or parts of topics, you can produce multiple output formats, and you can rapidly change the presentation for an entire deliverable just by switching your CSS file. If you are not convinced, take a look at the article "Why use DITA to produce HTML deliverables?"
If you already have well-structured topics, take a few of them and try using the provided conversion tool. You might find that, with very little manual intervention, you can move completely to a DITA-sourced environment. Even with complicated HTML, you might be able to clean up the output without too much work. Of course, if you like playing around with XSLT, be sure to read Part 2 of this article for hints and tips on how to do it.

Cher coming to BMO Harris Bradley Center June 6
Pop superstar Cher is coming back to Milwaukee for the first time in 11 years. The so-called Goddess of Pop will perform at the BMO Harris Bradley Center June 6.
The 67-year-old Grammy, Oscar and Emmy winner is suiting up for the "Dressed to Kill" tour, her first time on the road since an alleged "farewell" tour from 2002 to 2005, which stopped at the Bradley Center twice, on July 13, 2002, and on Aug. 16, 2003. The Milwaukee dates alone grossed $1.6 million in ticket sales, according to Billboard, and the tour was one of the highest-grossing ever by a female solo artist, with north of 600 shows performed in front of nearly 6 million fans, grossing $394 million according to the Guiness Book of World Records. »Read Full Article(17)

I have owned this car for 1 year. No problems except standard maintenance.
Comfort and ride. great on trips with 7 people in vehcle. Double moon roofs are nice. Acceleration is decent for this size vehicle.
Mileage could be better but it is a big vehicle so it is good for the size. I get 18mpg around town and 22mpg to 23mpg on the road. I do not like the location of the battery which under floorboard behind the passenger seat. Interior could be of a better quality.
I loved this car initially; the best interior layout in its class bar none. Captain's chairs in the back, leather, DVD with Bose 5.1 surround. After 9000 miles we took it back to the dealer for a hesitation issue; they investigated and found nothing up. The Hesitation issue became worse and worse; on the third visit @ 18K miles they replaced the coil pack on cylinder #1. At 32K miles, they just replaced it again for the same issue.
Interior layout gives functional amounts of space when the back seat is up; cavernous when it is down.
An engine that doesn't eat coil packs would be too much to ask, I guess.
I had to chime in and defend my Traverse. We have had the car for one year now and we love it. It's a very comfortable and quiet ride. We have not experienced any of the rear end noises others seems to be having. We have two kids and a dog and love the flexibility of the seating - we can haul 5 kids and a dog, or a bunch of lumber. The sun roof is a nice feature although we don't use as much as I thought we would because of the noise and wind (we do a lot of highway driving). My husband and to talk me into an SUV - but I'm glad that he did. We test drove the Flex and some other vehicles similar to the Traverse and found the Traverse to offer to most style and value for our money.
Deep console storage, able to flip down some of all of seats, back hatch opens and closes with touch of button on key fab or on hatch.
The rear bucket seats could be more comfortable - they should be able to recline a little. Makes it hard to snooze on long trips.
Car has plenty of interior room, looks great, excellent quality. Drives tight, stops quickly. I would recommend this to anyone wanting seating for 5 plus and wanting a good driving, cool looking and great on gas mileage this is the car for you.
Handling, gas mileage, fit and finish, braking.
2nd trip back to dealer for whining noise under the hood. Purged the power steering lines the first time; didn't work. Took it back today and they have now replaced the steering rack. Seems there are some problems. Also had whining noise coming from steering column but after reading another blog, I'm guessing that noise will be gone as well. Going to get it now. Will let you know more tomorrow. Absolutely love this car though. Super fun to drive, roomy on the inside.
Pick-up; rear camera; 7 passenger seating; power lift gate;
Better second row seat handles to move them with; make the second row seats removable. This feature is great on long trips with long-legged teens. More power outlets. Black metallic paint is very susceptible to chips. Need more durable clearcoat.

Stack Memory Managment
Memory Segment
Whenever U create a program and load it on a CPU ie executing UR program. It loads a Process Page on the virtual memory of UR system.That Process page will be mapped to UR Task Struct which will be in UR Process Control Block PCB.
Ps: Stack Segment and Heap Segment may grow other way too (UP and Down respectively)as it depend on the system U work
When a program is executed a Function Stack Frame is created in the Stack segment of UR Process Page for each and every function called and destroyed when U exit from the function scope.
Function Stack Frame
All Task structs have two Pointer called the Stack Pointer (SP), and the Frame (FP) or Base Pointer (BP). SP always points to the "top" of the stack, and FP always points to the "top" of the frame.
So when function are called inside functions the stack keeps growing downward. when Functions are called:
In a small program like :
void fn (void)
To test these we can write a small Program:
#include <iostream>
Re: Stack Memory Managment
For those using Intel/Windows m/c
Try this
void fn(void)
int *ptr;
ptr = (int *)&ptr;
int* mnptr = (int *) *ptr;
*ptr = 300;
Re: Stack Memory Managment
Hi Guys ,
Sorry that i missed one Infor about the stack frame.
The stack frame would be like
|_______Local Variables_______ |
|________Padding____________ |
|______Frame Pointer_________ |
|______Return Address________ |
|_Arguments/saved Temporaries_|
So to calculate padding = if ((Total size of local variables)% or mod 8) then padding = 4 else padding = 0;
so when You need to calculate Total size of a Stack frame : Size of all parameter + sizeof RA+ sizeofFP + Padding + sizeof Local
In the example
void fn(void)

STEM occupations and job growth
June 28, 2007
The need for technical work continues to grow. Technical occupations are often defined as those related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Workers in STEM occupations use science and math to solve problems. Educational requirements for STEM occupations range from a high school diploma and on-the-job training to a Ph.D. But all require the ability to think logically.
Growing demand for technological advances means more jobs for STEM workers. BLS projects job growth of 22 percent for STEM occupations as a whole between 2004 and 2014.
Nearly all the major STEM groups are expected to have about the same rate of growth as the national average of 13 percent. The exception is computer specialist occupations, which are expected to grow much faster than the average.
This information is from the Office of Occupational Statistics and Employment Projections. Find out more in "STEM occupations: High-tech jobs for a high-tech economy," by Nicholas Terrell, Occupational Outlook Quarterly, Spring 2007.

For three decades now, European environmental policy has been endeavouring to prevent the harmful impact which chemicals can have on natural ecosystems. Not only are all new products subject to very strict criteria, but major efforts have also been channelled into a multidisciplinary research project, in order to evaluate the potential effects of the 100,000 or so existing chemical formulations.
1979: the European Directive on Dangerous Substances - discussed since 1967 and amended for the seventh time - is transposed into national legislation. Any chemical substance classed as "new" must in future undergo tests to determine any risks which it may pose to the environment. It may only be freely sold on the European market if these risks are found to be minimal.
There still remained the problem, however, of all the substances already in use prior to that date. It was decided to compile an inventory of these substances - the EINECS (European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances). Published in 1990, the latter listed over 100,000 chemicals.
"Identifying the environmental risks posed by this huge number of substances is a very complicated process. The necessary data about their emissions and possible impact on the environment are non-existent in most cases," observes Doctor Karcher, of the Ispra Joint Research Centre. "An in-depth evaluation of these risks calls for multidisciplinary expertise involving biologists and toxicologists (capable of studying the effects of the substances on living organisms), chemists (analysing the structure of the chemicals) and statisticians, capable of processing the experimental data which we have available."
It was in an effort to bring all these experts together that a large European research project was launched in 1992, mainly under the leadership of the University of Utrecht (Netherlands) and the European Chemicals Bureau of the European Commission. Eight research groups - including Slovak and Czech teams - were assigned to the project.
The participants set themselves a specific objective: to validate a method of evaluating the environmental impact of chemical substances by determining the quantitative links between their physico-chemical structure and their chemical and biological activity. This approach is known as the QSAR method (Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships). Where this relationship can be established, the evaluation can be extended by predicting the activity of substances which have a similar chemical structure. It then becomes possible to deduce the activities of a large number of molecules, by grading them according to structure and properties, without having to test them all.
An initial assessment was made after two and half years' research, in June 1995. The QSAR method has proven particularly useful for modelling the toxicity of products in an aquatic environment, or through soil absorption. It has enabled scientists to evaluate the consequences of massive discharges of certain chemical substances by agriculture or industry. The researchers looked in particular at the effect of pesticides on aquatic ecosystems, and the way soil and sediments absorb them. They also greatly extended the range of criteria used to describe the relationships between the chemical structure and the activity of the substance in question.
The QSAR method would need to be improved, however, in order to be applied to the numerous substances found on the EINECS list. In those areas where it fails to measure up, tests are the only alternative.
The economic spinoffs of such research are considerable. "Thanks to the QSAR method, the national environmental agencies and chemical industries can reduce the number of substances to be studied, and so concentrate more resources on analysing those chemicals affected by the European Union's regulations on existing substances which have far more important implications for the environment," believes Dr. Karcher.
Thanks to the project's findings, the European Chemicals Bureau is now busy validating and implementing the QSAR method in order to supplement the data contained in the EINECS list. Preparations are also under way for an additional project aimed at studying the problems posed by "endocrine disruptor" substances, liable to interfere with human reproductive functions. The Bureau has also launched a project designed to validate the method, in collaboration with the United States and Japan.

Alexa Chung rocked a sweet look on the red carpet at the NME Awards 2012, held at the Brixton Academy in London last night.
The British Fashion Council's 'Young Style Ambassador' wore a Valentino Pre-Fall 2012 navy lace dress.
Her dress which features a tiered skirt, black velvet trims and a cute bow on the neckline was teamed with black tights and black suede ankle strap peep-toes.
Alexa often adds a masculine element to her looks, but it was 100% girlie on this occasion.
Even her hair has some body to it.

The Last Remnant
I've played almost every Square Enix game there is, and when I saw the across the board bad reviews for Last Remnant, I was a bit worried. But I bought it anyway, and I don't regret it. Just for some background, here's my preference for Final Fantasy games, so you can compare with your own tastes and see if TLR might be for you. I thought FF3 (6 US) was the best hands down, FF2 (4 US) and 7 were tied for second, 10 and 1 (for the sake of nostalgia if nothing else) were tied for 3rd. 12 is next, 9 was not terrible, but it was definitely forgettable. And 8 was a steaming pile of garbage. With that out of the way, there's one thing you have to accept before you get into this game. If you don't just accept it going in you won't appreciate the game, and if you do you will. And that is the fact that the hallmark of this game is the battle system. That was their #1 priority. Story came second, even graphics came second. Don't get me wrong, I think the graphics are fantastic personally and the story is fine. But the battle system is very impressive and there are a lot of intricacies to it, and it really shows that they were willing to sacrifice other areas of the game for a stellar battle system. The levelling system has been redesigned as well, although it's up to your taste whether you'll like it. You don't actually "level" your character, instead your skills go up as you use them. For example use a lot of combat skills and they'll become more powerful, use a lot of magic and you'll get new spells. Do a lot of physical attacks and your strength / attack power will go up, get hit a lot and your HP will go up. Etc.

Chikungunya fever just turned up again in South Carolina, in an Upstate resident who recently returned from Haiti. The virus showed up last year in Charleston County, also in a returning traveler.
The African disease now joins a handful of other mosquito-borne diseases in the Lowcountry that have two things in common:
The odds are low that you will get one of them or have any symptoms if you do.
If you do get symptoms, there are no treatments.
That's why you should care enough to take precautions.
"The chance is extremely low," said Michael Schmidt, Medical University of South Carolina microbiology and immunology professor. But it's not worth disregarding. Chikungunya, for example, "makes you feel like your bones are breaking," he said
"Any of these insects that have blood meals, the virus (if the insect carries it) is very small, so you get a large dose in a small volume. The treatment is simply supportive care, which is why the best treatment is prevention. The mosquito abatement programs are money well spent," Schmidt said.
Face it, there's billions of mosquitoes out there during outbreaks, usually a few days after a rain; the insects lay eggs in water and eggs tend to hatch when submerged.
Because of sporadic rains this summer, it has been a lighter-than-normal season for hatches - so far, said Donna Odom, Charleston County mosquito control manager. But that could change after recent thundershowers. "It's that time of year," she said.
Insect repellents, long sleeved clothing. Dump or drain standing water.
Here are some repellents:
DEET: Diethyl-meta-toluamide: Accept no substitute, most mosquito pros say. DEET worked better and longer in scientific trials, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Picaridin: A synthetic compound made in the 1980s but not widely in use in the U.S.
Lemon eucalyptus oil: Plant product recommended by the CDC.
IR3535: Found in some common commercial repellent products instead of DEET.
The most prevalent South Carolina diseases:
West Nile virus
Cases: 26 in South Carolina from 2010-2014; 4 in Charleston, Berkeley or Dorchester counties.
Symptoms: Most people, none. Otherwise, fever, headache, body ache, joint pain, vomiting diarrhea, rash.
Worst case: Less than 1 percent of people infected with the virus develop an encephalitis, a serious neurological illness that can lead to tremors, seizures, paralysis and death.
Treatment: None. Supportive care.
Cases: 2, South Carolina; 1 local counties. Chikungunya is an African disease that recently occurred in the Caribbean and has just appeared in South Carolina. Infected persons here so far are travelers returning from those countries, but Florida just confirmed its first case of non-traveling resident getting it.
Symptoms: Most commonly, fever, joint pain. Others: headache, muscle pain, joint swelling, rash.
Worst case: Death, rarely.
Treatment: None. Supportive care.
Eastern equine encephalitis
Cases: 0, South Carolina; 0 local counties.
Symptoms: Most people, none. Others, sudden onset headache, high fever, chills, vomiting.
Worst case: Symptoms develop into seizures and coma; 33 percent chance of death or significant brain damage.
Treatment: None. Supportive care.
Other encephalitides
Cases: 4, South Carolina; 0, local counties. Most occur in children under 16 years old.
Symptoms: Most people, none. Fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, and tiredness.
Worst Case: Seizures, coma, paralysis, very rarely death.
Treatment: None. Supportive care.
Other concerns
Dengue Fever: Widely spread in the Caribbean. Thirty cases in South Carolina since 2010, most often in returning travelers. But it is has turned up in Florida. Symptoms similar to chikungunya.
Malaria: Mostly eradicated, but 34 cases have turned up in the state since 2010, most often in returning travelers. A few cases turn up in the Lowcountry from year to year, and not all of them can be traced to overseas travel, said Schmidt, of MUSC. Symptoms similar to West Nile, but malaria can be treated.
Yellow fever: Mostly eradicated; 0 cases in the state since 2010. But concern will rise with the widening of the Panama Canal and deepening of Charleston Harbor, allowing shipping to arrive here more quickly, potentially carrying mosquitoes or eggs from a region where the disease still occurs, Schmidt said.
Cats, dogs and horses
Heartworm: Not always recognized as a mosquito-borne disease.Rarely occurs in people, but 50 to 100 cases per year are reported on average in the Lowcountry in cats and dogs. Symptoms include cough, reduced appetite and weight loss.
Worst case is death. Treated by vaccine.
Eastern equine encephalitis: Primarily a horse disease. More than 80 cases in South Carolina 2011-2013, 7 in local counties. Symptoms are similar to humans and worst case is death. No treatment.
By the numbers
61: Mosquito species in South Carolina alone.
3,200: Species worldwide.
Several million: The number of mosquitoes that can hatch per acre per rainfall in a dredging disposal site.
In response to a large salt-marsh mosquito "hatch-off," Berkeley County Mosquito Abatement will be spraying by aircraft in the southern portion of the county over Daniel Island, Thomas Island, areas adjacent to Clements Ferry Road and the dredge disposal sites along Clouter Creek. The aerial application will be made on Thursday between 6:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. If unfavorable weather conditions exist, the applications will be made on the next suitable day. Those with questions or concerns may contact Berkeley County Mosquito Abatement at 719-4646.

Emacs Lisp: Run Current File
This page shows a emacs lisp command that execute the script you are writing of current buffer.
You are coding ruby. You want to be able to press a button, and have the current file executed or compiled. The file may be a Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, Java, Clojure, golang, TeX/LaTeX, Bash, and more.
This way is even better than using a interactive command line (aka REPL), because you can write and edit normally with full emacs power. And you can run it by just pressing a key, such as F8.
(defun xah-run-current-file () "Execute the current file. For example, if the current buffer is the file x.py, then it'll call 「python x.py」 in a shell. The file can be Emacs Lisp, PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Bash, Ocaml, Visual Basic, TeX, Java, Clojure. File suffix is used to determine what program to run. If the file is modified or not saved, save it automatically before run. URL `http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/elisp_run_current_file.html' version 2016-01-28" (interactive) (let ( (-suffix-map ;; (‹extension› . ‹shell program name›) `( ("php" . "php") ("pl" . "perl") ("py" . "python") ("py3" . ,(if (string-equal system-type "windows-nt") "c:/Python32/python.exe" "python3")) ("rb" . "ruby") ("go" . "go run") ("js" . "node") ; node.js ("sh" . "bash") ("clj" . "java -cp /home/xah/apps/clojure-1.6.0/clojure-1.6.0.jar clojure.main") ("rkt" . "racket") ("ml" . "ocaml") ("vbs" . "cscript") ("tex" . "pdflatex") ("latex" . "pdflatex") ("java" . "javac") ;; ("pov" . "/usr/local/bin/povray +R2 +A0.1 +J1.2 +Am2 +Q9 +H480 +W640") )) -fname -fSuffix -prog-name -cmd-str) (when (null (buffer-file-name)) (save-buffer)) (when (buffer-modified-p) (save-buffer)) (setq -fname (buffer-file-name)) (setq -fSuffix (file-name-extension -fname)) (setq -prog-name (cdr (assoc -fSuffix -suffix-map))) (setq -cmd-str (concat -prog-name " \"" -fname "\"")) (cond ((string-equal -fSuffix "el") (load -fname)) ((string-equal -fSuffix "java") (progn (shell-command -cmd-str "*xah-run-current-file output*" ) (shell-command (format "java %s" (file-name-sans-extension (file-name-nondirectory -fname)))))) (t (if -prog-name (progn (message "Running…") (shell-command -cmd-str "*xah-run-current-file output*" )) (message "No recognized program file suffix for this file."))))))
The code is very easy to understand.
Now, we can define a keyboard shortcut for this:
(global-set-key (kbd "<f8>") 'xah-run-current-file)
〔➤see Emacs: How to Define Keys〕
So now, doesn't matter we are writing in Python, ruby, golang, …, we can just press a button and have the file executed or compiled.
This package, emacs-quickrun, supports more languages and features. https://github.com/syohex/emacs-quickrun/
or, buy something from my keyboard store.

New Jersey's U.S. Senate primaries are still a few weeks away, but Republican Steve Lonegan already is taking aim at Democrat Cory Booker.
The two men are both heavily favored in their respective races, so Lonegan is hardly bothering with attacks on GOP competitor Alieta Eck, a doctor from Somerset County, and is instead digging his teeth into the Newark mayor, who leads three opponents.
On Thursday, Lonegan launched a statewide radio ad contrasting his record as mayor of Bogota, a small town in North Jersey, with Booker's tenure. He also went to Newark for a news conference challenging Booker's record on education.
