WorldCat Local—a Webscale discovery solution
Investing in WorldCat Local can be the first step toward making your library operate at Webscale. WorldCat Local is the front-end user interface for OCLC WorldShare™ Management Services. It is the discovery view for the service that leverages the strength of libraries worldwide alongside your unique, local resources. Additional partnerships for discovery interoperability are also in process.
WorldCat Local is the discovery interface for WorldShare Management Services
The user-friendly WorldCat Local interface supports users' interaction with your library's WorldShare Management Services applications. It enables full-featured searching, intuitive use of your library's delivery options and use of social tools such as contribution and sharing of reviews and ratings.
The discovery-to-delivery functionality of WorldCat Local also connects with other cloud-based, Webscale features embedded with WorldShare Management Services. Things like self-service account management, the ability to place and edit holds, do course reserves, view check outs, renew materials and see bills—all happen within the same, intuitive interface your users rely on for discovery and fulfillment.
Move to Webscale on your timescale: implement WorldCat Local first
When you're considering replacing your current ILS or upgrading to a new system, your library may have previous commitments in terms of current contracts. You can start the process of moving to Webscale immediately—and gain immediate benefits of libraries working cooperatively together--by implementing WorldCat Local first.
By approaching it in two steps, the user-facing part of your migration to WorldShare Management Services can happen at a time that is convenient for your end-users, such as winter holidays or summertime for academic libraries. Then you can complete your full WorldShare Management services implementation once your current contract commitment is complete, without worrying about the time of year or impact on end-users for a switch. This way, your end-users will already be comfortable with the general user experience of WorldCat Local for discovery, and you can be more flexible with your timing.
In short, WorldCat Local is a great first step to take advantage of working cooperatively with Webscale benefits for your library.
Standalone or as a part of WorldShare Management Services
WorldCat Local connects with many of the WorldShare services, but it's also a powerful discovery service on its own. You do not need to purchase WorldShare Management Services in order to benefit from the "standalone" WorldCat Local service that will integrate your users' views for all your collections—physical, electronic and digital materials.

Skip to comments.Gay Advocacy Groups Rush to Demonize Pope Francis
Posted on 03/14/2013 11:02:12 AM PDT by marcbold
Some "Catholic" LGBT organizations were seemingly in a race to cast the first disparaging remark against the new Pope. The Equally Blessed coalition seemingly won the day by labeling the Pope "hateful" within hours of Cardinal Bergoglio's ascendancy to the papacy.
Equally Blessed is an organization which includes participation from DignityUSA, New Ways Ministry, Call To Action, and Fortunate Families. Pro-homosexual organizations all. Their statement which was quoted in many news reports seems to indicate their shock that Pope Francis would be pro-traditional marriage and not in favor of gay adoption:
"If he truly desires to share the Gospel with all people, Pope Francis will come to realize that many of those created in Gods image are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. It is our fervent hope and continuing prayer that Francis will break new ground in opening a conversation with LGBT people so that he may come to know a little about their experiences of Gods grace, mercy and love.
"We are mindful some of our new popes past writings will be profoundly discouraging to LGBT Catholics. During an unsuccessful campaign against marriage equality legislation in Argentina, he wrote things that, frankly, could be considered hateful, calling the legislation that authorized same-sex marriage a machination of the Father of Lies. He also said adoption by same-sex parents was a form of discrimination against children. These are not statements worthy of a pope, or, for that matter, anyone in pastoral ministry.
Hateful? Not worthy of a pope? So who would be worthy of being Pope? According to Equally Blessed, it would seem that faithful Catholics need not apply to the papacy. That would kinda' defeat the point a bit, wouldn't it?...
(Excerpt) Read more at ncregister.com ...
Sounds like the enclave got it right.
Since the beginning of the Church, there has always been a crowd that won't be happy until the Ten Commandments turn into "anything goes."
There is disappointment and despair as all hopes are dashed. The Cardinals elected a Catholic to the Papacy.
And the son rose in the east this morning.
"Dignity" rings a bell. A "Dignity" group was started at USD when I was there. Also, the LA archdiocese used to have a Dignity group in the chancery office, I think I remember my friend at the chancery telling me. I think with budget cuts, due to the sex scandal lawsuits, the LGBT outreach bit the dust, (at the same time as the Respect Life office was also closed.)
Dykes and fags are upset.....I'm happy, happy, happy!
Oh and BTW....don't look for God to change the rules for you because your lifestyle is honored by the devil!
"...that Francis will break new ground in opening a conversation with LGBT people..."
He will- John 8:11
But I don't think that's the sort of "conversation" they want.
Iffin ya don't like what the RCs teach, just EFN leave. Why stay in an "organization" that doesn't agree with you?
Unless...you have a political agenda you want others to agree with and adopt as their own?
They aren't the only ones. Couldn't sleep last night so I flipped on ABC World News Now and the two anchors were wondering if the new Pope would change the church's stance on homosexuality and abortion. What idiots.
If these groups won't accept the teachings of the Catholic church, they are free to leave it. There are plenty of protestant denominations out there who would welcome them and their lifestyle with open arms.
Correspondingly or by analogy all God's children include rapists, embezzlers, robbers/thieves, etc, etc. Which/who are or can be acceptable to God is really God's choice when all is said and done.
"Sounds like the enclave got it right."
D*** right!
Awesome! Well done, Cardinals! If the libs and homos are pissed off, you've selected the right man for the job!
They like to see them administered and treated by the RCC as the Ten Recommendations or Suggestions.
Does the rapist say what he's done was moral aka just an alternate lifestyle? Well at least today he doesn't but who knows in the future with the ready acceptance of relativistism.
Man marrying man is against nature, against Holy Scripture, against God's will. At its core, gay marriage is built upon the mortal sin of sodomy. A family does not have as its basis and foundation mortal sin.
And He calls ALL of us to repentance and conversion.
That's the detail behind mt "Unless...you have a political agenda you want others to agree with and adopt as their own?"
Peace to you.
I suppose that today would be, "because they have free internet."

text: My name is Corrie and my baby boy is Hayden. He was born at 30 weeks because I contracted hepatitis e and my fevers were too high for him to safely stay in. Even before I had him early I was planning on breast feeding. I began to pump while I was still in the hospital but dumped it until I was released. Now, even though I am home and healthy the hospital won't allow me to give him the breast milk because of the hepatitis. Everything I see online says that it's not transferred through any kind of bodily fluids. I just want some support as I continue pumping. They say once he comes home he can breast feed they just don't want to risk it while he's in the hospital.

The power of YNAB lies in our four, simple rules that will change the way you think about money.
We do budgeting better than anyone. With our apps for the web, iPhone and Android, you and your budget are inseparable.
On average, new users save $200 the first month and more than $3,300 by month nine. YNAB works.
A "forget-everything-you-think-you-know-about-budgeting" kind of different. And it works: You'll stop overdrafting, you'll pay off your credit card debt, your stress levels will plummet, and you'll achieve financial peace.
How? YNAB ("why-nab") combines a simple, effective methodology with award-winning software to turn you into a finance superhero. You can't be a superhero without superpowers (obviously), and that's where the rules come in:
When you Give Every Dollar a Job, your money is dialed in. You know exactly what you can spend on eating out. On clothes. On everything. No more worrying you'll accidentally spend the money needed for next week's bills.
As you Embrace Your True Expenses, you smooth out your cash flow by breaking down larger, less-frequent expenses (holidays, birthday presents, insurance), and treating them like monthly expenses—saving for them each month. Goodbye financial roller coaster, hello financial... minivan?
Roll with the Punches when you go over budget. (It will happen and it's okay.) Spent too much on groceries this month? Just cover it with your fun money category. Covering overspending keeps you out of debt and on track.
Then the fun begins. You'll Age Your Money, working toward spending money you earned at least 30 days ago. Say goodbye to the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle, timing bills, and money stress. When a bill comes in, you'll just pay it. If an emergency happens, you've got time to come up with a plan.
The power behind YNAB lies in the rules, but you'll stick with it because of our award-winning software for the web, iOS, and Android. Every detail of the software helps you follow YNAB's Four Rules to total financial success.
A CS degree shouldn't be a prerequisite for improving your finances. YNAB runs securely in the cloud, so there's nothing to set up or manage.
YNAB connects directly to thousands of banks and credit cards so you can spend more time reaching your financial goals and less time on data entry.
Budgeting works best when your budget is up to date, and available where you are. YNAB stays in sync in real time on all of your devices, no muss, no fuss.
As good as our method and software are, it's tough to rewire your brain as it relates to money. That's why we offer famously friendly support, live, online classes every day of the week, and stellar self-directed help guides. Not good enough, you say? We agree! That's why we also have an active blog, podcast, and YouTube channel with more quick tips, budgeting wisdom, and money insight than you thought possible.
Our customers have always been our best salespeople. Turns out, when you help people turn their finances around, they like to talk about it. A lot. We mean a lot. Like really a lot. Like if you took a lot of something, and then added a whole lot more.
Yes, our customers spreading the word to their friends and family is our secret sauce. But getting press mentions (galore) lets Jesse (YNAB's founder) tell his mom things like, "Oh that piece in the WSJ? I had sort of forgotten about it." So it's important (to him).
Read on to see how YNAB works in practice, or sign up for a 34-day free trial to see for yourself. Within just a few minutes you'll be well on your way to completely transforming the way you think about your money. You'll feel a bit more in control. You'll have some more clarity. Your stress level will immediately decline. You'll feel some financial peace. You've got this!

text: My DS is now 3mos old. Breastfeeding was a challenge from his first week. Poor latch, bleeding nipples, engorgement leading to decreased supply which began bottle feeding. But the worst was his hospitalization and surgery during his 3rd week of life. The stress of all this killed my supply. I went down to mere drops of milk. His hospital stay all but cemented his bottle feedings but I still offered the breast occasionally. He was very uncomfortable at hospital so I didn't want to frustrate him by forcing empty breasts on him. So more and more the breast disappeared. But I really wanted to breastfeed. I got good encouragement at hospital and within 2 weeks of leaving hospital I got an appt with a lactation consultant. She basically said my milk had left and I needed to relactate. Pumping sessions, hand expressing, nursing, blessed thistle, fenugreek, nursing teas, you guys know the drill. It was very stressful and frustrating not getting results and irritating your baby with empty breasts. So I stopped the regimen. My hubby thinks our son is doing well without the breast. Our ped is always happy with his development at his appts considering his ordeal so early in his life. But I still think about breastfeeding. Am I depriving my son? Should I have tried harder? I ordered Domperidone and it finally arrived last week. I haven't touched it. I've been reading up on side effects and the fact that it does enter the breast milk and I get scared. My son is happy and healthy, my husband is happy, is worth it to risk possible long term side effects to me and my son and start this drug? We never know what could be discovered down the road about this drug. Should I really try to breastfeed again with a 3 month old? I'm not even looking to nurse exclusively. I know the benefits of breastfeeding. I was breastfed for 9 months. I am on FMLA leave right now. So should I put my son and I back on the road to breastfeeding with Domperidone? My breasts are empty and I haven't offered the breast in over a month. He most likely won't want anything to do with my breasts.

Thanks for the insight about hyphens, Joe. Sometimes I just think it's awkward to start a new sentence though. I could think of do I really need the information I'm putting in this hyphen or paranthesis? That would reduce my usage of them, but sometimes I feel that the information actually is important to the story...What do you think of this usage of a hyphen, the kind that bothers me when I write it but I can't stop? (This is from my NaNo story.) "Not only had his savior turned out to be a girl, but she was young- she couldn't have been more than Jack's age." Or the other usage of hyphens that I was talking about previously (from something else I wrote)- "I fall asleep to nothing- no music, no roommate chatter- and my sleep is equally undisturbed."

I have heard many discussions on the pros and cons of the open or display kitchens now so popular in today's trendy restaurants. Some question whether display kitchens are a fad or a trend in dining that is here to stay. A majority believe it is here to stay because today's eateries are about experience not just the food we eat. Customers pay for the sizzle as much as the steak. Many equipment items can be easily adapted to the open kitchen. Some look better than others or provide a ...

Vt. investigator, former ICE agent, chargedMay 11,2013BURLINGTON A Vermont Medical Practice Board investigator and a former Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent have been charged with federal gun and tax violations.
Phil Ciotti, 56, of the medical board, was named in a six-count grand jury indictment Thursday. He faces charges of failing to keep required records regarding gun sales as a federal firearms licensee; failing to contact the national instant criminal background check system in connection with the sale of a firearm as well as filing false tax returns.
Richard Bernholz, the former ICE agent, agreed to plead guilty to filing a false tax return and aiding and abetting in the failure to keep adequate records by a federal firearms licensee.
In 2011, agents seized more than 500 guns from Ciottis St. Johnsbury home and more than 150 guns from Bernholzs Franklin home. They said the guns were used in a Boston homicide and a Brockton shooting.
Ciottis defense lawyer, David Sleigh of St. Johnsbury, said his client plans to plead not guilty.
There is a divergence of opinions for some time whether there was any criminal conduct, he told the Burlington Free Press.
He said federal officials have singled out Ciotti for some reason.

I got some good feedback from my analysis piece in Sunday's newspaper regarding the nanny-state legislation that Illinois lawmakers are busying themselves with over pension reform.
• EXPLANATION: A public relations person who does some work for Democratic Rep. Elaine Nekritz emailed me over the weekend explaining her House Bill 3255, which would require governments to give railroad owners 24 hours' notice if a parade route crosses their tracks.
The bill was inspired by a tragedy last November in Texas in which a train slammed into a parade float filled with wounded veterans, killing four.
Actually, I guessed when I first happened across the Nekritz bill that the Texas tragedy inspired it. And this inspiration does not at all take away from the point of my analysis piece – as I told the spokesman, filing a law in response to a single incident is "classic Illinois nanny-state", especially while our fiscal house is burning.
• ANONYMOUS COMMENTS: Local blogger Gus Philpott thought highly, in the story comments and on his blog, about Democratic Sen. Ira Silverstein's Senate Bill 1614, which would require website administrators upon request to remove anonymous posters who do not agree to attach their names and confirm their identities.
The bill is a month old, and is stuck in the Senate Assignments Committee with no co-sponsors. This is because it's not going to go anywhere, and would never survive a constitutional challenge if it did.
There are court cases and Supreme Court rulings galore that clearly establish that anonymous speech is protected under the First Amendment. For the record, both Common Sense and the Federalist Papers started out as anonymous literature.
So Silverstein's bill is toast even before it gets out of the starting gate.
Oddly enough, the language of Silverstein's bill comes almost verbatim from a bill filed last year in the New York State Assembly. That bill died in committee, radioactive and untouched, for the reasons I listed above.
Is there some kind of magazine I don't know about – a Good Housekeeping for busybodies – where lawmakers trade these laws like recipes?
Speaking of New York and nanny-state laws, I can't pass up today's news that a judge dared challenge the Madness of King Bloomberg:
• HAVE A (LARGE) COKE AND A SMILE: I let out a laugh and a sigh of relief when I read that a judge overturned New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's ban on large sugary drinks.
I laughed because, well, it was a silly law that will now help define the outgoing mayor's legacy. I sighed with relief because, well, how can King Bloomberg and his super PAC buy my Second Amendment rights if he can't even stop a street sweeper in Queens from buying a large soda?
Before anyone points out Robin Kelly's 2nd Congressional District victory that Bloomberg bought, put the spin aside and consider this: An anti-gun candidate won in a deep, deep blue district that is plagued by gun violence and in which the NRA didn't spend a dime. Sorry, but Kelly's win is about as much of a seismic change as it would be if a pro-gambling candidate won election in Nevada.
I don't even drink soda pop, but I think I'll splurge today and toast to Bloomberg's health, and to the judge who dared singe his beard.
• THERE OUGHTA BE A LAW: It was this time last year, right before Gov. Pat Quinn's last budget address, that I suggested raising badly-needed revenue by charging our state lawmakers for filing bills.
When pension reform fizzled last May and lawmakers instead voted to allow miniature horses to be used as service animals, I again brought up the idea.
With some of our lawmakers now focusing on banning lion meat and regulating colonics, it's an idea worth exploring, if only some brave legislator would try.

OtterBox tops BizWest's Mercury 100 list
- published_in
- Today's News
OtterBox, based in Fort Collins, reported a 164 percent increase in revenue over two years in the category ranking companies with more than $20 million in annual revenue.
The company had $923 million in 2013 revenue compared with $350 million in 2011. OtterBox employs about 750 people.
BizWest compiled a list of 100 companies separated into five flights of 20 companies, with each flight representing a different range of annual revenue. The companies were recognized at an annual awards ceremony Tuesday night at the Windsong Estate Events Center in Severance, east of Fort Collins.

Have you tried leaving (the house even) and letting someone else give him the bottle? Your little one may be smart like that and not want to take it when he knows the real thing is around.
Here's some more (non LLL) info about bottle feeding the breast fed baby
You could try a bottle in a bouncy seat, having your DS facing out and walking around, trying a paci first and then see if he will go into taking the bottle.
How old is he? He might take a sippy cup or regular cup. Those are a little messy sometimes but if he needs to get some milk it can work.
ETA: I see he's still pretty little, they make little soft silicone cups - or even a dropper or spoon could work if he just won't take a bottle.

Breastfeeding is an instinctual and natural act, but it is also an art that is learned day by day.
Visit LLL of Ashburn PM's Blog!
Try a dark room, holding him in the normal bfing position with the bottle under the caregivers armpit. Sounds crazy but it may work. Have you tried breastflow bottles or adiri nursers? Avent? Medela?
ive been getting hubby to try feed him with me out of the room...i use the tommee tippee closer to nature bottles with the anti colic closer to nature teats..ive tried the slow flow, fast flow and variable flow all without success....he has never had a dummy either..when we tried to give him on..he just pushes it around with his tongue and scrunched his face up then pushes it out..and he is doing it now with the bottle.......we have been trying for 3 days now at various points in the day....and he just doesnt seem to improve at all....but then when he has tried the bottle...and he has just become upset...i put him to the breast and he latches on like mad then feeds grunting away all happy again!
The problem is also, unless he is very tired...he will only feed with me lying down and him lying across my stomach...which is a nightmare as it is impossible to feed him out of the house....i feel so trapped.....and it is such a nightmare..as when he stops feeding and has had enough..he will just opem his mouth and unlatch..and half the time he has taken half a mouth full of milk before he deicded he is full...i feel like im constantly covered in breast milk and baby spit up!!

My daughter is also refusing the bottle. I understand completely how you feel... I love her and want her to have breast milk, but I am starting to feel like I will never be alone again! My husband tries to feed her with a bottle, but even if I leave the house she refuses. We've tried several bottle/nipple combos. The only one she ever took anything from was the Avent slow flow and she only had 1/2 oz in 6 hours! (She usually nurses every 2-3 hours for about 1/2 an hour- obviously much more than 1/2 oz!) I'm interested in any tips on getting her to drink from a bottle! I have a book club meeting in 3 weeks and I'd love to get out for an evening with adults, but I won't be able to go (with good conscious) if I can't be sure my daughter is okay!

I've read somewhere to try to offer the bottle when LO isn't starving. Once some of their thirst is satisfied with breast, then I would try to offer a bottle. Sometimes, we have a little trouble too. I think with us its because we only give 1-2 bottles a week, so she doesn't get a lot of practice. HTH.
I had the very same problem with my LO. I tried three different bottles, two different flows, breastmilk, and even formula. He absolutely refused to take the bottle for me or my husband. I had to go back to work when he was 10 weeks and was really worried about leaving him. I sent everything with him to daycare and warned the provider that he would probably be very difficult, but the first day, he took the bottle for her just fine and has ever since. They are very smart!
Could you try feeding from a cup, dropper, spoon, or syringe? What about offering baby a breastmilk "slushie" (frozen ebm) from a spoon?
Here's some helpful info on alternative feeding methods:
Some tips:
*face baby out
*offer the bottle in motion (walking, rocking, bouncing)
*offer in a bouncy seat
*distract baby with another person or the t.v.
*if all else fails, try in the familiar nursing position
*warm the bottle nipple
*try warm milk
*try cold milk
*allow baby to draw the nipple into his mouth himself
*if using a wide base nipple, assure he is latched on with lips flanged (as at the breast)
Here's some additional tips:
I have this same exact problem...i've tried leaving the house, medela & avent bottles & I just bought the Adiri Natural Nurser Bottle, it looks like it could work, but i hope it does for the price i paid 14.99!!
I havent tried it yet. does anyone have it or heard anything about this bottle?

Investors Should Buy Barack Obama a Beer
The late, great Elliott Smith said it best: There are two big enemies: bitterness and style. If I can escape them both, then I'll be happy.
It's easy to be bitter.
More broadly speaking, there's no better cop-out than blaming external factors -- usually beyond your control -- for the way you feel, your perception of limited opportunity or your inability to succeed.
Ironically, some Republicans spew cries of helplessness in response to an Obama victory. Regardless of political leanings, more than a few people blame even the thought of the fiscal cliff and a volatile-to-weak stock market on corporate America's refusal to spend and all sorts of apparently pending personal and widespread financial doom.
Let's be clear, I am not downplaying the impacts of income and capital gain tax hikes, spending cuts and whatever else flows directly or indirectly from Washington's inability to act before the end of the year.
But what else is new?
There's always a crisis . I hammer that theme hard, but it's vitally important for investors to remember. Media hype over the hysteria du jour makes it easy to forget. Many of the institutions that shape society do not promote perspective, they perpetuate above-riffed hype, hysteria and helplessness.
Put things in context. Relate it to your personal situation. Then, set yourself up to succeed or, at the very least, not get crushed if and when the excrement hits the fan.
For investors, that should be relatively easy.
And, yes, you should buy Barack Obama a beer.
If Mitt Romney won, the market would have rallied. That's easy. Profit taking would have been reserved for an odd day here or there in the middle of a Santa Claus rally. It would not have been so front and center.
The Obama victory actually provided investors with some certainty.
Investors can rely on more than the generic answer -- Investors don't like Democrats -- for explanation. This time the election results gave us so much more.
Despite all of the noise, investors blew out of stocks because, in connection with, though not directly related to, the fiscal cliff, they took gains in big winners.
That is obvious in Apple (AAPL) .
Cramer used Whole Foods (WFM) as an example.
You have massive gains in a stock that has run over the last year or two. Even if the world was a wholly certain place, you would be crazy to not take at least some profits.
There are a million AAPLs and WFMs out there. Up more than 30% year-to-date, but down -- and underperforming the major indices -- over the last week and/or month. Run a screen. It's hardly universal, but many of the biggest YTD gainers have recorded the heftiest post-election losses.

Nick Speranza, chairman of the board of Sullivan County Community College (SCCC), ticked off a list of accomplishments the college has achieved during the past year. Perhaps chief among them was that the college retained accreditation by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. He said that college officials were "very concerned about a visit from the accreditation team" because of past problems, but the visit went well. The team, however, said the college should make a few changes, such as the creation of a strategic plan, which the college did not have.
Speaking at the government center on July 19, at a public hearing regarding the proposed college budget, Speranza spent little time talking about the numbers for next year and, instead, focused on the college in general. He said, for instance, that about 60% of the students at the college come from Sullivan County. And one statistic that he thought was important was that 54% of the students at SCCC represented the first person in the family to attend college. He said this is a "great indication of how students are trying to move forward through education."
After Speranza, acting president William Murabito took to the podium and talked about the numbers. He said, for instance, that over the past five years, state aid had been decreased by $550 per full-time-equivalent student. This year, Albany has increased aid by $150.
But he also addressed other topics. For instance, he said that there was a lot of talk in the community about the nursing program and that, in the past, nursing grades were low. He said corrective action was taken and "the passing rate now has jumped about 25 points."
Perhaps making a reference to the tumultuous relationship the previous president, Mamie Golladay, had with the legislature, he said, "We're about transparency. We've shared everything with the public and the campus. It's hard to believe, but prior to this, there was a lot of information that was held tight, even within the campus. And it's hard for the people who are key players to manage the campus without having that information. That doesn't happen anymore."
The budget calls for increased spending of about $1 million on a budget of about $17 million, with a 7% increase in the cost of tuition.
When persistent college critic Ken Walter spoke, he did not endorse the view that the college was as transparent as it needed to be. He said that the college sent a letter about the proposed budget to the legislature on June 6. On June 14, the board voted for raises for management and confidential employees. He said there was never a discussion about this between legislators and college officials in an open meeting where members of the public could listen to the deliberations.
The county is being asked to give $4 million toward the college this year. Walter said, "Now, we're struggling, here, on our own budget issues, but the college seems to have none whatsoever."
The legislature will probably vote on the proposed budget next month.

OverviewDFTMAX™ is a comprehensive synthesis-based test solution for compression and advanced design-for-test that addresses the cost challenges of testing complex designs. Designs can have subtle manufacturing defects that are only detected by applying high defectcoverage tests, such as at-speed and bridging tests, in addition to stuck-at tests. The extra patterns needed to achieve high test quality for these designs can increase both the test time and the test data, resulting in higher test costs.
DFTMAX reduces these costs by delivering push-button high test data and test time compression with very low silicon area overhead. Seamlessly enabling compression in TetraMAX® ATPG, and encapsulated in Synopsys' Galaxy™ Design Platform, DFTMAX achieves predictable results with virtually zero impact on timing. The DFTMAX Ultra add-on to DFTMAX addresses the need for ever-higher compression using fewer test pins.
Figure 1: DFTMAX delivers high test time and test volume reduction reduction
DFTMAX Delivers High Test Time and Test Volume ReductionDFTMAX reduces the costs of nanometer testing by providing high test data volume compression (Figure1). Using Synopsys' patented DFTMAX compression architecture, DFTMAX saves test time and makes it possible to include high defect-coverage test patterns in tester configurations where memory is limited. With the industry's most area-efficient solution, DFTMAX has virtually no impact on design timing and results in the same high test coverage as provided by standard scan (Figure 2a).
Figure 2a: DFTMAX
Pin-Limited TestTo accommodate designs that require a limited number of test data pins either at the top-level or per core, DFTMAX generates an optimized architecture that ensures high quality without incurring extra test data. Several current trends that are limiting the number of available test pins include tighter form factors, multi-site testing to target multiple die simultaneously, and core-based methodologies with multiple embedded compressor-decompressors (CODECs). These types of techniques minimize the number of chip-level test pins available to each CODEC. To provide high test data volume and test application time reduction for these pin-limited test applications, DFTMAX generates a high-speed, low-pin tester interface that automatically serializes the test data (Figure 2b).
Figure 2b: DFTMAX for pin-limited test
Test Compression SynthesisThe DFTMAX synthesis flow is practically the same as the industry's most widely deployed standard scan synthesis flow enabled by DFT Compiler. DFTMAX synthesizes test compression directly from RTL to testable gates with full optimization of synthesis design rules and constraints. All test and compression requirements specified prior to the synthesis process are met concurrently with area, timing and power optimization. DFTMAX synthesizes the design at the gate-level with all scan design rules checked and the test and compression logic verified, leading to very high and predictable test coverage and test compression results. The implementation of DFT, including test compression, within the design synthesis environment allows problems to be found and fixed earlier in the design cycle, thus avoiding 'schedule-breaking' design iterations. DFTMAX also enables TetraMAX ATPG to seamlessly generate compressed test patterns having the highest test quality.
Integration With Galaxy Design Platform For Concurrent Optimization Of Area, Power, Timing, Physical And Test ConstraintsWith Synopsys' unique synthesis flow (Figure 3), scan compression logic is synthesized simultaneously with scan chains within the Galaxy Design Platform. Topographical scan chain ordering and partitioning provides excellent timing and area correlation with physical results using IC Compiler. This enables designers to achieve area, power, timing and DFT closure simultaneously. DFTMAX writes detailed scan chain information which IC Compiler then reads to perform further optimizations to reduce area impact and decrease overall routing congestion (Figure 4).
Figure 3: Test compression flow
Figure 4: These screen captures show DFTMAX results without the routing congestion associated with standard scan
Integrating DFT resources into a complex multi-voltage design can be a time-consuming and error-prone process without automation tailored for low-power flows. Once voltage domain characteristics of the design with IEEE 1801 (unified power format) are specified, DFTMAX automatically inserts level shifters and isolation cells during scan chain implementation. To reduce routing congestion and area impact of the DFT logic, DFTMAX minimizes both scan chain crossings between power/voltage domains and the number of level shifters inserted.
The same TetraMAX ATPG DRC engine is run from RTL to gate level, making it possible for designers to validate testability all the way through the design synthesis process.
Hierarchical Scan SynthesisTo handle test synthesis of very large designs, some level of abstraction is required so that the system/chip integrator can reduce design time. By abstracting the DFT information in a test model, along with timing and placement information, DFTMAX enables quick hierarchical test implementation of multi-million gate designs.
Transparent Integration in TetraMAX ATPG for Power- Aware TestDFTMAX transfers all information about the scan compression architecture and test operation to TetraMAX ATPG. Working together, TetraMAX ATPG and DFTMAX automatically generate compressed, power-aware test patterns with highest test coverage.
Integration with TetraMAX ATPG DiagnosticsDFTMAX fully supports proven TetraMAX ATPG ATE links for failure diagnosis and delivers a straightforward flow from tester fail to location of the defect. DFTMAX and TetraMAX ATPG diagnostics together deliver a very effective and accurate yield diagnostics solution (Figure 5). For fast resolution of yield issues, the diagnostics data from TetraMAX ATPG can be automatically read and analyzed by the Yield Explorer yield management system.

Dr. Rajiv Shah led the efforts of nearly 10,000 staff in more than 70 countries around the world to advance USAID's mission of ending extreme poverty and promoting resilient, democratic societies.
Under Dr. Shah's leadership, USAID applied innovative technologies and engaged the private sector to solve the world's most intractable development challenges. This new model of development brings together an increasingly diverse community—from large companies to local civil society groups to communities of faith—to deliver meaningful results.
Dr. Shah led President Obama's landmark Feed the Future and Power Africa initiatives and has refocused America's global health partnerships to end preventable child death. Feed the Future, alone, has improved nutrition for 12 million children and empowered more than 7 million farmers with climate-smart tools they need to grow their way out of extreme poverty. In April 2014, USAID launched the U.S. Global Development Lab to harness the expertise of the world's brightest scientists, students, and entrepreneurs. At the same time, the newly formed Private Capital Group for Development forges a more strategic relationship between private capital and development.
Dr. Shah also managed the U.S. Government's humanitarian response to catastrophic crises around the world, from the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
Through an extensive set of reforms called "USAID Forward," Dr. Shah worked with the United States Congress to transform USAID into the world's premier development Agency that prioritizes public-private partnerships, innovation, and meaningful results. He currently serves on the boards of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation and the Millennium Challenge Corporation, as well as participates on the National Security Council.
Previously, Dr. Shah served as Undersecretary and Chief Scientist in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he created the National Institute for Food and Agriculture. Prior to joining the Obama Administration, he spent eight years at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where he led efforts in global health, agriculture, and financial services, including the creation of the International Finance Facility for Immunization.
He is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, and the Wharton School of Business. He regularly appears in the media and has delivered keynote addresses before the U.S. Military Academy, the National Prayer Breakfast, and diverse audiences across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Dr. Shah was awarded the Distinguished Service Award by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He has served as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, been named to Fortune's 40 Under 40, and has received multiple honorary degrees.
He lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife Shivam Mallick Shah and three children and has given up mountain climbing for family bicycle rides.

Habari zenu, Good morning,
Honorable Henry Rotich, Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury; Honorable Michael Kamau, Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure; Lucy Mbugua Managing Director of the Kenya Airports Authority; other distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. It is a great honor to be with you.
In Cambodia today, women are living longer, healthier lives than their mothers and their mothers before them. As the nation's health system and economic opportunities continue to improve, Cambodian women have better access to higher-quality health services and products for themselves and their families. Giving birth is safer than it has ever been in Cambodia, for both mothers and their newborns. Contraceptives and other health commodities are more readily available and affordable. Deaths due to the most lethal diseases of the past – such as tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV – are declining each year.
(As prepared)
I am so pleased to be here to mark another milestone in our 50-year partnership with Kenya.
We are here today because we recognize that Kenya is in a position to benefit from the positive effects of a demographic change. The country is overflowing with young and ambitious Kenyans eager to contribute to the development of the country. If we can move them responsibly into their working age years as healthy, educated and productive adults, with fewer dependents, they can lead the development process and elevate Kenya to a middle-income country.
It gives me the greatest honor and pleasure to be here today to pledge the U.S. Government's support for the Government of Ethiopia's unprecedented commitment to End Fistula and Transform Lives by 2020. We applaud the Federal Ministry of Health for its renewed focus on obstetric fistula and for taking the bold step of developing a Plan of Action to eliminate fistula by the year 2020.
More than 1 billion people - one-sixth of the world's population - suffer from one or more neglected tropical diseases, also known as NTDs. These diseases affect the world's most vulnerable populations - those who are poorest and have little or no means to protect themselves from illness. Their impact on individuals and communities is devastating. In addition to the over 500,000 people who die annually from the consequences of NTDs - millions suffer from chronic disability, pain, disfigurement, and social stigma that keeps them from living full, productive lives.
This is an incredibly exciting week for the global community- as we outline a new approach to working together to prevent maternal and child deaths and set ambitious goals that we hope to achieve in the years ahead.We're thrilled that you are a part of it.
It is such an exciting time for this effort. Because for the first time in history, we stand within reach of a world that was simply once unimaginable—a world without child and maternal death.
Child Survival and maternal mortality have been a focus of the U.S. commitment to global health for decades. Every year, we commit nearly $1.5 billion to this moral mission. And today, we know that how we deploy those precious dollars has the potential to transform millions of communities that suffer from the senseless tragedy of losing children to preventable deaths.
After a very successful meeting in Mandalay at the end of March, we now have a critical mass of champions who are highly committed to moving the agenda on migrant health care further along, in whichever way we can, with whatever resources we can muster, the key operative word being partnership. Partnership between health, labor and social security, partnership between public and private sector, between government and civil society, and between the countries, to develop shared solutions to a common and complex health area. Also, partnership among development partners; we have a large group of external agencies who have come together to demonstrate our friendship and support for the cause. This meeting is a joint effort between IHPP Foundation, USAID, UNDP and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
While 92% of the Philippine population had access to an improved source of drinking water in 2010, 15.7 million Filipinos are still without access. This shortfall has serious impacts on economic growth, health and the overall development of the country. There are several reasons for inadequate water supply services, including low levels of investment; poverty linked to an inability to afford services; and policy, regulatory and financing barriers.
We know that in the critical window of a 1,000 days, we can provide the nutrition so children have the basic immune strength to protect themselves from simple diseases against which they would otherwise die, and we know that simply trying to address diseases without also making sure these children are well nourished simply won't achieve the outcome we seek. And we know that healthy behavior such as the one being promoted in this photograph are essential to success, even if we have enough resources for the commodities, the drugs, the diagnostics that are often what we talk about in price. It's ultimately the way people behave that determines whether or not our goal, our shared aspiration of ending child death, is actually possible.

Editor: There have been several discussions about wages and prosperity in the Wave, the most recent one from Lamar Johnson that was in harsh contrast to the views of Aaron Gabrielson's more libertarian perspective. Mr. Johnson's statistics about minimum wages did not include Denmark, Germany, Italy, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland which have no minimum wage and some of those nations have low unemployment and strong economies but on to the message.
Mr. Johnson is absolutely right about human nature and the presence of greed. Jobs are created by investors. These are greedy people who are willing to risk their money in expectation of earning a return on it. This is true whether Mr. Johnson and Mr. Gabrielson pooled their money for a carry out pizza business or venture capitalists funding a few biochemistry professors from Stanford to fund their research into a treatment for stupidity. A business must eventually have customers to succeed but investors can create jobs for years by risking their money. Amazon was not profitable for 10 years so how did they hire all those workers? They had investors, some of whom are basking in a share price over $300 today.
There is a feeling among many that investors exploit workers to increase their returns on the capital they placed at risk. Investors do want to increase their return and most realize that having a loyal and productive workforce is part of that. If you routinely underpay, your best employees will leave. The trick is just how much, absent of some government interference, is an employee worth. That's not easy but part of it is based upon the extent to which the investors earn a decent return on their investment and another part of it is what another employer would pay for like contribution. There is a reason why an automatic transmission mechanic is paid more than the car wash attendant at a car dealership. This is part of supply and demand.
But, greed isn't confined to investors. Employees are somewhat greedy too. How many think they should be paid less? There is an economic value to labor that is somewhat derived by what the investor can receive for the services an employee can provide. In the case of the pizzas operation, there is an upper limit on what you can charge for the pizza and that has to work its way down to the employees.
Now, when government comes along and demands a higher wage, there is risk of paying an employee more than can effectively be captured through higher prices or other cost cutting measures such as less pepperoni per slice which could affect sales. So, the higher wage is now an example of another component of human nature, our undying faith in the free lunch. It may be fashionable to say if CEOs were paid less, the proletariat would be paid more but if the CEO was paid less, the investors might not be there either.

Its often hard for the ref as he is 10M back but it seems that the linesmen have been deliberatlely instructed to ignore them as I've hardly seem one given all season by them.
PS I do understand the momentum rule before we start
Touch judges (not linesmen) can't flag for forward passes but do indicate to the referee when they believe that a pass was forward. These signals will often not be noticed by spectators. The referee chooses whether or not he takes any notice of such signals so, as in all cases, it is his decision to award one or not.
There always were forward passes but they occur (apparently) more often nowadays because the game is very much faster and they can be difficult to detect. In addition a flat pass is often a useful tool in opening up a defence so I'm sure that it's coached to some extent.
Referees say that they watch the angle of the hands/wrists as the clearest indicator of whether or not a pass was forward.

Integrative Therapies Ease (Don't Cure) Cancer Symptoms
Recent Minnesota headlines sparked debates about the use of Western medicine versus alternative medicine in cancer treatment. (See Dr. Archelle Georgiou discuss the specific case in the video on the left.) However, the debate should not focus on one versus the other; rather, it should focus on one and the other.
While there is no alternative treatment that will cure cancer, there are several therapies that can help alleviate some of the symptoms of cancer and the side-effects of conventional treatment. Integrative therapies are most often considered to help with stimulating the immune system, improving life balance, and managing side-effects of the cancer or cancer treatments.
Individuals who receive a cancer diagnosis should first and foremost meet with their healthcare provider to discuss the diagnosis, treatment, and short- and long-term implications of the condition. It is during these conversations that discussions about conventional treatment (such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy) should be discussed, along with any complementary/integrative therapy options that might exist.
Some integrative therapies that could be considered as a complement to conventional cancer treatment include:
- Mind-body therapies, such as yoga, hypnosis, meditation, and support groups
- Manual therapies, such as massage therapy or reflexology
- Energy medicine, such as healing touch, therapeutic touch, Reiki and qigong
- Acupuncture
- Homeopathy

CRYSTAL LAKE – The 30-by-60-foot American flag that flies over Crystal Lake and Rakow Road hasn't been waving in recent weeks because a cable snapped, city officials said.
Officials anticipate that the oversized flag will be back in service Friday when T-Mobile, the company that owns that flag pole-looking cellphone tower, will make the repairs, city officials said.
Once before the cable snapped. The cellphone company will make repairs to keep it from happening again, said George Koczwara, deputy city manager.
While the flag was down, it was sent to have fraying repaired at a cost of about $300, Koczwara said. The city owns the flag, one of six provided by T-Mobile under an agreement with the city. The agreement also provides for T-Mobile to buy or repair the flags. New flags cost about $1,800 each.
The flag is on city-owned property at Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2, 1100 Coventry Lane. T-Mobile leases the land for its tower.

Adults working towards their GED will have to do it quickly.
Starting next year, the test will be completely changing and any previous scores will no longer count. It's the first major change since 2002.
Most noticeably, the tests will be taken on a computer instead of with pencil and paper. And instead of a section dedicated to English, long response questions will be asked in the other four tests.
That's a change a Western Technical College administrator says is more like life in the real world. "I can't remember the last time somebody asked me to write a 5 paragraph essay, but I get asked to read things and respond to them in writing all the time, so it's a much more authentic way of demonstrating learning," said Western's Dean of Instructional Support Services Chad Dull.
Dull says there are about 1,300 people enrolled in Western's GED program.

First encounter with Susanne Sundfør and I really liked the YT tracks I listened to (The Silicone Veil and When), will probably go through the rest of the non-metal stuff in your top 10 this week.
Written by IronAngel on 11.12.2012 at 11:24
Awesome. She's really underappreciated, can't seem to get anyone excited about her. Her last two albums (The Brothel and The Silicone Veil) are some of the best singer-songwriter albums I've ever heard.
The top 10 is a bit outdated, I'll probably switch them around and something new might crawl up there, but they're still worth hearing.

Never heard (of) them. I'll have to make a note to look them up, Spotify seems to just have some remixes.

Iron, dude ... The Silicone Veil is so freaking good, what an awesome voice she has !
Written by IronAngel on 19.12.2012 at 00:51
Awesome. I wish I could recommend you something similar, but I can't really think of anything. The Hanne Hukkelberg album in my list is pretty good. Her voice is quite similar, if not as powerful. You might like Anna von Hausswolff's 2012 album too, though it meanders more. She sounds quite a bit like Kate Bush, actually. Susanne's previous album reminded me of Tori Amos' From The Choirgirl Hotel, which is her darkest album. Vocally they're nothing alike, though. For dark electropop, Fever Ray's self-titled is amazing.
In terms of vocals, she reminds me most of Anneke van Giersbergen. Particularly in the low-mid register. But her glass-shattering high notes are even better.
Written by InnerSelf on 20.12.2012 at 16:18
The jazz reference in your mini-review of Hanne Hukkelberg's album intrigued me so I'm checking it next.
Written by IronAngel on 20.12.2012 at 21:51
In retrospect, that was poorly worded. Yeah it's pretty experimental and a little bit jazzy, but setting those jazz influences side-by-side with the art pop and singer-songwriter material here is misleading. But still, it's pretty strange and fascinating.
Anyhow, I'm slowly starting to get the list into order for the year's end. Still a few big albums to review and decide on a rating, but it's mostly all there. I'll probably do some pruning with albums that I ultimately didn't listen to enough (already removed 20-30 I think), and reconsider some ratings. It's painful rating albums when there's so much good stuff, when you're listening to them it feels like they all deserve special attention. I don't know if it's just me, but this feels like a better year than 2011.
Written by InnerSelf on 20.12.2012 at 22:01
Concerning list construction, I only add albums I absolutely love to my lists as I try to keep them as "top of" lists ... will surely be hard if it was a "guide to *enter year*" list.

Many people have heard the warnings about texting while driving, but now research shows that texting can be a dangerous move for pedestrians.
New research released in a report from the nonprofit SafeKids shows pedestrian injuries among older teens and young adults increased 25 percent in recent years.
"I see a lot of people on their cellphones, talking on their cellphones, texting and walking. Sometimes you see people bumping into each other," said Dayna Renee, who was playing guitar on Library Mall at University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The report doesn't break down how many injuries were from using mobile devices. But 75 percent of children ages 12 to 17 own cellphones, which is up from 45 percent in 2004.
"Our generation, we're so used to having technology," said high school student Shartierra Walson. "You could never go out without your phone. It's like your life."
Students said text-related distracted walking seems to be everywhere.
"The one (woman), she was texting and she fell into the fountain," said high school student Diamond Moore. "That video, it's viral. It's hilarious because she wasn't watching where she was going and she just ... Pshhh!"
"I'm not surprised," said Walson. "People act like their cellphone is their entire life, so whatever text message or phone call, they got to stop their entire world and concentrate on that."
The common sense remedy may take time to resonate, but the hope is to drive the statistics down as more in the crowd look up from their mobile devices while walking.
Some communities around the country have even passed "texting while walking" laws.
But the challenge in collecting data is that in many cases where a pedestrian is injured, the use of a mobile device is rarely reported.

Demasiado luminosos
Posted by annabovary on Aug 14, 2014
Se nota que son de buena calidad, y mucho más limpios de químicos que otros, pero para mí son demasiado luminosos, así que los uso con moderación, de cara a iluminar zonas concretas, pero en realidad, de aspecto dorado, nada de nada, es más brillante.

Laboratory Management and Technical Issues
third try: Merry Christmas WEF-ers
OH B-O-D (to the tune of O Tannenbaum)
Oh B-O-D, Oh B-O-D, You are so biochemical
A little sample and then some seed. So plain yet diabolical
To set you up is such a breeze. Just five short days at 20 degrees
Oh B-O-D, Oh B-O-D. Pray the blanks don't deplete on me.
First get the bottles all lined up. Then calibrate the meter
Aerate the water; prep the seed. And don't forget the Winkler
Pipet your samples in "just so". Make sure they have enough D.O.
Now load the samples on a cart. Incubate them five days in the dark.
If Wednesday morn you put them in. Next Monday all your woes begin
All the dilutions that you tried. Were either too low or else too high
All your controls are out of range. The calculations just too strange
Oh B-O-D you are so great. The test that we all love to hate
We all eagerly waiting to see the live version on Youtube.
Merry Christmas to y'all and thanks for the chuckle!

GVSU center helps local companies design, test devices for marketplace
Posted on January 27, 2014
A center at Grand Valley State University is working with West Michigan companies to develop and test new electrical products entering the marketplace. The Electromagnetic Compatibility Center (EMC), which pairs students with local companies, is the first of its kind in West Michigan.
The center, located at 609 Watson St. near the Pew Grand Rapids Campus, provides pre-compliance testing, design support and education. The 4,000-square-foot center includes a compliance lab and seminar room.
Bogdan Adamczyk, professor of electrical engineering, noticed a need for the center two years ago. "West Michigan is an area of innovation and growth. Many big research universities have EMC research centers, but I've never heard of one that offers precompliance testing for local companies and provides a practical experience for students," he said.
All electrical devices must be certified for EMC compliance, explained Adamczyk. "If a device is not approved, the design must be altered and tested some more, which can be expensive and time consuming for small- to medium-sized companies. They can come to the center to continue testing expediently and at an attractive rate," said Adamczyk.
The lab includes measurement and diagnostic tools, including three chambers that measure radiated emissions and immunity of electronic devices. Two additional chambers are currently being assembled. Adamczyk said the center has helped several companies already.
"Entry-level engineers who specialize in electromagnetic compatibility are in high demand," he said. "Any company that develops and builds electrical devices needs EMC engineers."
The School of Engineering in the Seymour and Esther Padnos College of Engineering and Computing currently has nearly 1,800 enrolled students, a record. About 200-250 students are majoring in electrical engineering.
For more information about the EMC Center, visit www.gvsu.edu/engineering/EMCCenter. For additional, contact Bogdan Adamczyk at email@example.com or 616-331-7286, or PCEC Dean Paul Plotkowski at (616) 331-6260 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Think about it though - have you ever heard of a bottle fed baby being fed every hour? Other than Gavin of course. If the bottles didn't continue to allow flow without active sucking, you couldn't over feed. We've been there, in the middle of the night and we think the baby should nurse more. We tickle their feet, we unwrap them from the blankets, but if they're done, they're done. We can't make them actively nurse. With a bottle you can, because there's still milk going in, they have no choice but to swallow.
Instituting a "BF approach" on a FF Mom and baby (and caregivers) would be wonderful - but wow, what another uphill battle.

More exits at UBS as its advisory rejig continues
Another managing director in London is heading for the exit at UBS as the Swiss bank continues to overhaul the upper echelons of its advisory business, according to people familiar with the matter.
The departure of Matthew Odgers, a managing director focusing on M&A, follows the exit of another senior advisory banker, Alexey Goncharenko, who left in the past few weeks, the people said.
Odgers joined UBS in 2001 and previously ran the bank's investment banking division in the Middle East and North Africa.
The departures come as UBS continues its efforts to recast itself as an advisory-led business, with the Swiss bank losing ground in the advisory rankings since the financial crisis.
William Vereker, head of European investment banking, last year reorganised the bank's M&A team amid a downturn in the market, allocating the majority of bankers in the unit to sector and country teams in a bid to win roles on more deals.
The bank announced in May that it had hired Severin Brizay, formerly head of M&A for diversified industrials in Europe, the Middle East and Africa at rival JP Morgan, to be its head of European M&A. Brizay is set to start at the Swiss bank in August.
Other changes include the promotion of Juan Monte to head of country coverage and the addition of a couple of managing directors from Bank of America Merrill Lynch –Glenn Rewick, a healthcare banker, and Philippe Drouin, who covers the consumer sector.
One person said that more senior hires in the advisory business are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
UBS is in 12th position in Dealogic's M&A adviser ranking for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, having advised on 40 deals worth a combined $82.6 billion in the year to July 11.
UBS declined to comment on the departures.
