Based on products, the molecular diagnostics market is segmented into instruments, reagents, and services & software. Reagents occupy the largest market share and will also register the maximum growth rate in the forecasted period 2013-2018. These reagents include assays that detect and diagnose diseases and are also used as biomarkers that predict the biological properties of the potential drug compounds.
Based on end users, hospitals was the largest segment in 2013, whereas reference laboratories will grow at the highest CAGR between 2013 and 2018. Reference laboratories carry out complex, specialized, and obscure tests. The government regulations to cut down healthcare costs will lead to the rise in the reference laboratories segment. Therefore, reference laboratories are estimated to grow at highest CAGR.
North America accounted for the largest share in 2013 and is poised to grow at a high rate in the forecast period 2013 to 2018. The growth can be attributed to the rising infectious diseases, cancer prevalence, and genetic disorders that are further adding to the overall prevalence of chronic diseases. Europe was the second leading contributor to the molecular diagnostics market in 2013. However, the growth of this region is expected to be sluggish in the forecast period and is estimated to grow at a lower CAGR than North America, due to factors such as the uneven reimbursement policies and the European economic crisis.
Asia is the most promising region for molecular diagnostics in the coming five years. It is expected to grow at a higher CAGR than North America and Europe over the forecast period. The high population base and improved purchasing power of patients are the major drivers of this market. Moreover, the economic instability in the western countries enables companies to focus on the Asian region in order to meet their revenue targets.
The key players in the molecular diagnostics market are Roche Diagnostics (Switzerland), Gen-Probe (Hologic) (U.S.), QIAGEN (Netherlands), Becton, Dickinson & Company (U.S.), Siemens Healthcare (Germany), bioMérieux (France), Abbott Laboratories (U.S.), Novartis AG (Switzerland), Cepheid (U.S.), and Beckman Coulter (U.S.).

The Dorsal Venous Arch is a vein structure in the upper portion of the foot.
The Dorsal Venous Arch is fed by the five metatarsal veins (one for each of the toes). Medially it passes blood to the Dorsalis Pedis Vein, laterally (the side with the little toe) it feeds the Small Saphenous Vein. The Dorsalis Pedis bifurcates into the Anterior Tibial and the Great Saphenous Vein. The Dorsal Venous Arch is close enough to the skin to be palpated.
The Dorsal Venous Arch looks like a loop of a jump rope laying against your foot, the convex side pointing toward your toes. At the end of this loop are five tassels, woven through the top of your toes. Peel off your socks. Take a look.
Dorsal comes from the Latin dorsalis, pertaining to the backside. Venous is from the Latin vena, a blood vessel.

[L] Our main aim for travelling to Mashhad, Irans second largest town, read traffic nightmare best avoided was to collect our transit visas for Turkmenistan and to extend our Iran Tourist visa by a week.

What Happens to All That Tax Money? (Hint: Most of it goes to Social Security and Medicare)
Long ago, Americans grew immune to reports of federal spending in the billions and then the trillions. It is almost impossible to shock taxpayers.
Nevertheless, they do pause every year when they pay their income tax and ask where the money goes and why the government keeps asking for more.
The U.S. national debt now stands at $16.8 trillion. That is $148,170 for every American taxpayer; it is $53,230 for every person in America.
According to the Heritage Foundation, in 2012 Washington collected $2.4 trillion in taxes, more than $20,000 for every American household. Washington spent $3.5 trillion, or nearly $30,000 per household. This added $1.1 trillion to the national debt.
These are the results of a federal government that spends more than it collects. It is nothing new. Annual deficits in excess of $1 trillion are now the norm. Moreover, it is bound to get worse.
The federal government got a windfall in tax revenue earlier this year because of the fiscal cliff deal. Taxpayers also took a hit when taxes deducted from paychecks went up. Now they can look forward to tax hikes associated with Obamacare and any additional tax increases that may follow a so-called grand bargain on the federal budget later this year.
Taxpayers know where the money comes from – right out of their hides every paycheck and every April 15. Nevertheless, it is instructive to take a quick look at where it goes.
Here is what happens to every dollar collected in federal taxes:
- 23 % goes to Medicare, Medicaid, and other healthcare expenses.
- 22% goes to Social Security.
- 19% goes to national defense.
- 19% goes to income security, such as unemployment compensation and food and housing assistance.
- 7% goes to all other federal spending, including 3% for transportation and 1% for K-12 education.
- 6% goes to net interest.
(Source: White House Office of Management and Budget.)
As Heritage notes, these figures point to the urgency of reforming ballooning entitlement programs. With 45% of federal spending going to Social Security and healthcare entitlements, the future looks dire for younger taxpayers. These taxpayers will bear the burden of either higher taxes to support these programs or the cost of increased government borrowing to meet the demand.
For beleaguered taxpayers, it is not only the deductions they see from each paycheck or the checks they write on April 15. It is also the cost of complying with an increasingly complex tax code.
It is estimated that Americans spent $168 billion in 2010 to comply with the tax code. Moreover, taxpayers spent 6.1 billion hours, or 51 hours per household, to complete all the required tax filings.
April 15 is a bad day for every American taxpayer. Their government takes far too much of their hard-earned money and then complains that it is not enough. So it compels them to pay more and borrows the rest.
Federal officials are asking for a taxpayer backlash that could shake them at their roots. If they are wondering when they might feel the full impact of the backlash, they should pull out their calendars and circled the date of the next election.

a town on the east of Jordan, on the top of one of the green hills of Gilead, within the limits of the half tribe of Manasseh, and in full view of Beth-shan. It is first mentioned in connection with the vengeance taken on its inhabitants because they had refused to come up to Mizpeh to take part with Israel against the tribe of Benjamin (Judg. 21:8-14). After the battles at Gibeah, that tribe was almost extinguished, only six hundred men remaining. An expedition went against Jabesh-Gilead, the whole of whose inhabitants were put to the sword, except four hundred maidens, whom they brought as prisoners and sent to "proclaim peace" to the Benjamites who had fled to the crag Rimmon. These captives were given to them as wives, that the tribe might be saved from extinction (Judg. 21). This city was afterwards taken by Nahash, king of the Ammonites, but was delivered by Saul, the newly-elected king of Israel. In gratitude for this deliverance, forty years after this, the men of Jabesh-Gilead took down the bodies of Saul and of his three sons from the walls of Beth-shan, and after burning them, buried the bones under a tree near the city (1 Sam. 31:11-13). David thanked them for this act of piety (2 Sam. 2:4-6), and afterwards transferred the remains to the royal sepulchre (21:14). It is identified with the ruins of ed-Deir, about 6 miles south of Pella, on the north of the Wady Yabis.
The second was the collision at jabesh-gilead at the beginning of the reign of Saul.
Nahash, king of the Ammonites, besieged the fortress of jabesh-gilead.
The relief of jabesh-gilead, Saul's first victory, greatly strengthened his authority as king, over the tribes.
He sends grateful messages to jabesh-gilead; he will not begin the conflict with the insurgents.
The men of jabesh-gilead appear to have made no response to his appeal.
Next for the sake of Benjamin the sword was drawn and the men of jabesh-gilead were butchered.
Evidently, the siege of jabesh-gilead was not the first offensive act the Ammonites had committed.
But Gilgal was nearer to jabesh-gilead, and it was memorable for still higher traditions.
But the men of jabesh-gilead heard of this indignity to the dead, and making a night march removed the bodies.
jabesh-gilead was somewhere on the other side of the Jordan, distant from Beth-shan several miles.

You may not have heard of immunoglobulins, but if you want to improve your body and athletic performance, you want them. Immunoglobulins are specific proteins found in whey protein that can markedly improve exercise recovery, leading to dramatic improvements in muscle size, quality and power.
They do this by strengthening your immune system - and a strong immune system is essential to making progress in the gym and playing field, not to mention important to your general health.
"Immunoglobulins can provide tremendous benefits to athletes and others interested in building muscle mass and enhancing recovery," says Eric Weaver, president and CEO of Proliant, Inc. "Your immune system has a direct impact on changing the metabolism of the body. That's why using immunoglobulin protein products can be a huge benefit to athletes."
Unfortunately, the immunoglobulin level in whey is too low to be effective, so Weaver's company developed NutraGammax and ImmunoLin, trademarked products which are protein isolates with more immunoglobulins and insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1) - a powerful anabolic nutrient - than most proteins available on the market.
"We license ImmunoLin and NutraGammax to various supplement manufacturers," states Weaver. "They're similar, with NutraGammax having an elevated immunoglobulin [Ig] and growth factor profile compared to regular whey proteins, while ImmunoLin has an even higher Ig profile by 50%."
Making Whey Way Better
These protein products are extremely beneficial because they provide much more immune system support than do ordinary proteins. "We believe that the body prioritizes protein usage based on what it perceives to be its greatest need," says Weaver.
For instance, when you're sick or overtrained, your body will tear down muscle tissue because your immune system has increased its demand for amino acids and the antibodies present in these proteins. "By providing them to your body in a supplemental form, you can help calm down your immune system."
In addition to all the basic protein benefits, these products can help reduce muscle soreness, improve joint health, and many other problems associated with inflammation.
Several products have licensed this protein technology from Proliant. Look for products that list ImmunoLin, NutraGammax, immunoglobulin concentrate, or serum protein isolate on their labels.
Physical Facts
Immunolin & Nutragammax.
What Are They?
Protein technologies that increase the amount and availability of immunoglobulins and insulin growth factor-1 in whey protein.
What Is It For?
Immunoglobulins and IGF-1 boost general immune system function and muscle recovery, which boosts muscle tissue repair and growth.
Anything Else?
While it contains fewer immunoglobulins, a simple and inexpensive whey concentrate product is still a terrific investment when it comes to building muscle. But for immune system benefits that go beyond your bi's and tri's, look for the various protein types listed here.

PDW F-350 (DXF-20W) viewfinder needed
My viewfinder is acting up. Yesterday it started to expand and contract slightly and quiver a bit. It occurred after about three hours of pretty steady shooting. It didn't quit on me, but I didn't like it. A few hours later it worked fine again.
The viewfinder has been in to Sony in the past to try and correct a fairly regular occurrence of the image becoming very contrasty and dark. Intermittent sort of thing. No luck making it happen in the shop, so it didn't get fixed. Anyhow, I am looking at sending it into Sony for repair, but that's going to be at least a week turn around. I'm into my busy season with the camera working nearly daily. The cost of the rental replacement camera could exceed the price of a new vf. So I'm thinking, just replace it and hope the old one hangs in there until a new one arrives.. Anybody got a good one they'd like to sell? Thanks, Peter |

Re: PDW F-350 (DXF-20W) viewfinder needed
well, some companies already anounced 3rd party colour viewfinders (aka cineroid & co) with HD-SDI input - that changes a lot on the 350...

Pickle Dish Quilt
The top is done... took me almost a year - mostly because this is my first encounter with curved piecing and before this, I really didn't have much sewing experience. In fact, the first few blocks were so awful they had to be scrapped. also took so long because it kept getting pushed aside for other projects. Since this one's for me there isn't really a deadline, but I hope I get it done before winter comes around again. since my California dreamin' is still just dreamin'.
also my first experience with paper piecing - works well and kind of fun until you have to rip all the paper off. I'll probably be finding paper bits under the couch and around the apartment for awhile.
My mother made a number of fan quilts when I was younger (and hated that my mother was a QUILTER!) and I think that may have been one of the reasons I was attracted to this pattern. Making the fan parts of the pickle dishes was fun. hardly mattered that there were 96 of them. yup - 96. so take a good look - might've been fun to make and I'm sure I'll love it on my bed, but it's probably the first and the last pickle dish I'll be making.
I love the wild unrestrained colors and patterns Kaffe Fassett uses and have a couple of his books and lots of his fabric. sorta feel like you have to actually use one of the patterns in the books if you're going to buy them - and this is the one that jumped out at me. The design is from Fassett's "Quilt Romance" book. I changed the border, and obviously the color scheme. It might look random - but there is actually some thought to all the color in this - check out my quilt geek notebook! (This is the part where MY daughter is embarrased that she has a QUILTER mom.)
Here's my first attempt at trying to get a photo of a bed-size quilt top.
and that's my first blog post - I'm sure it'll get better with practice. just like quilting. :-)

Hello California! Land of my dreams... This quilt was a lot of work and not really a beginner's project - except that if someone is willing to scrap a few blocks and rip a ton of seams in the beginning, it's a great way to learn. I'm almost afraid to quilt it for fear that I'll spoil it!
Wendy - I'll have to see if I can figure out the fabric needs. I had no fabric before this project, so I was stash-building and just kept adding in fabrics. I didn't really know what pattern I wanted from the fabrics until about 3/4 way through. There's 9 spokes per fan and the spoke pieces are about 2" x 4" and I think the squares might be around 4".

Preventive health care is important at any age, but never more so than as we get older. Many of the major cancers that can be screened for - such as breast and colorectal cancer - are typically diagnosed at about age 70. After age 55, people have a 90 percent chance of developing high blood pressure, putting them at higher risk for heart disease and stroke. "The payoff in terms of prevention in geriatrics is more upfront and more immediate," says geriatrician Peter Hollmann, chairman of the public policy committee for the American Geriatrics Society. Starting in January, the new health-care law will make it easier and cheaper for seniors to get preventive care. Medicare beneficiaries will be able to receive for free all preventive services and screenings that receive an A or B recommendation for seniors from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. That includes mammograms and colorectal cancer screening, bone mass measurement and nutritional counseling for people at risk for diet-related chronic diseases such as diabetes. Medicare beneficiaries will also get a free annual wellness visit under the new law. The visit will cover a number of services, including a health risk assessment and a review of the person's functional and cognitive abilities.

This will boggle your mind, I know it did mine! The year is 1907. One hundred years ago. What a difference a century makes! Here are some statistics for the Year 1907. Just think how different life is today…
1907 Statistics
The average life expectancy was 47 years.Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.
Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.
There were only 8,000 cars and only 144 miles of paved roads.
The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.
The tallest structure in the world was the EiffelTower!
The average wage in 1907 was 22 cents per hour.
The average worker made between $200 and $400 per year.
A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, A dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year.
More than 95 percent of all births took place at HOME .
Ninety percent of all doctors had NO COLLEGE EDUCATION! Instead, they attended so-called
medical schools, many of which were condemned in the press AND the government as substandard."
Sugar cost four cents a pound.
Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.
Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.
Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo.
Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from entering into their country for any reason.
Five leading causes of death were:
1. Pneumonia and influenza
2. Tuberculosis
3. Diarrhea
4. Heart disease
5. Stroke
The American flag had 45 stars.
The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was only 30!!!
Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and ice tea hadn't been invented yet.
There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day.
Two out of every 10 adults couldn't read or write.
Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school.
Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores. Back then pharmacists said, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health."
(Shocking? DUH! )
Eighteen percent of households had at least one full-time servant or domestic help.
There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE U.S.A.
Amazing, isn't it? I think back on the changes just in my lifetime and it blows me away. I sit here typing to the world on a tiny laptop computer… have a credit-card-sized cell phone sitting next to me … DVDs…. amazing.
Makes me wonder where we will be even FIVE years from now.
Best of happiness, health, and success to you and yours in 2008.

More British TV to Watch: Fresh Meat
Hulu continues its campaign for the cancelation of your cable subscription with a new spate of exclusive British programming, following in the model of fellow Anglophile Netflix, which helped popularize Downton Abbey stateside and recently added Helen Mirren vehicle Prime Suspect and the second season of television's best reworking of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock (sorry, Elementary). After bringing America The Thick of It (a political satire from Armando Iannucci, creator of Veep), this Sunday, Hulu premiered Fresh Meat, a collegiate comedy from Sam Bain (Peep Show) and Jesse Armstrong (Veep, The Thick of It, Peep Show). Fresh Meat, which falls somewhere between the terrifying The Inbetweeners and Judd Apatow's canceled-too-soon Undeclared, follows the exploits of six profoundly awkward college freshmen (many sexual and/or drunken). Check out the clip above, and watch the first episode in full on Hulu.

Oh look! It's Disney trying to milk every dollar out of it's money cow Pirate of the Caribbean! Not that doing so is unique in any way and certainly every company does it. At least they haven't created a card game, book series, toys, underwear, bath products, or lunch pails yet. They have? Fuck it! The MMO Market is still somewhat fresh (and susceptible) to take a dumping on anyway! At least it isn't Korean (I think).
My character Sven. Class: Badass Motherfucker.I had hesitations about reviewing this game but not only because I have a hell of a time trying to spell "Caribbean" for some reason but rather I actually did enjoy the first movie. To be fair, if I had something that sold as well as Pirate movies I would milk it until the utters dried up, the cow died, and the meat rotted away. Hell, even then I would try to sell the land the cow died on just to get as much "booty" as possible. Of course if I ever made a successful movie about pirates, some shit heads would probably pirate it off the internet creating a black hole of irony (yeah not a creative joke; piss off).
I know this is going to shock you so hard that I will be up for murder charges: this game was pretty lackluster and at best, average. However, even falling into the realm of "average" already makes this game leaps and bounds better than any other MMO I have had the misfortune to review. That isn't to say that Pirates of the Caribbean is that good but it really isn't that horrible and for one reason: the overwhelming amount of cut scenes. The voice acting is convincing enough that I actually had to use IMDB to see if they somehow coerced Johnny Depp in pretending to be a gay pirate just one more time.
Now, if I haven't driven you away because I actually said something nice about a game I reviewed, you can look forward to my same old "here is my half assed (and unfair) review of this game." Let's start with character models and creation! The character models are so cartoony they make World of Warcraft look like virtual reality. You know how in every Disney movie they have that one "muscular" guy that has a torso shaped like the letter "V"? You can be him! Or if you want, you can be a short and stubby man too! ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES!
R.I.P. Tubbs McGeeThat reminds me! Sliders! Every damn game with sliders must remind you that they have sliders. Sliders for character customization is the new sliced bread for the internet. If your game doesn't have sliders it can fuck right off as far as I am concerned! Never mind that the sliders really don't do a great job at letting me make a perfect likeness of... well... any human alive! Sliders.
After the dissatisfaction left upon you by the crappy slider mechanic (and the fact that it took you four hours to end up with something that still looks like complete garbage) you are ready for the game! The dreamy captain Jack Sparrow rescues your sorry ass by kicking a door open from the inside. Now I don't know if Jack was also a prisoner but no else seems to indicate that he indeed was. This leaves me to wonder how he got into the cell and why he bothered to lock the door behind him. Eh, who cares, it isn't like people watch Disney movies for the story anyway-- anything to get that brat to shut up; am I right (I don't have kids)?
So basically you are thrown into some kind of tutorial filled with cut scenes and explanations about some pirate chest and some girl with huge breasts slapping the hell out of you because Jack gave her the clap. Upon escaping the Island under bombardment (from no ships in sight) a tubby lard of a captain explains he almost left you to die. Thanks a lot you fat asshole!
So eager to please.However, tubs doesn't make it very far since Skeletor beams onto the ship and sucks his skin off for not turning over Jacky boy. The excuse that he doesn't do the same to your character lies along the lines of, "dead men can't tell no tales Arrrrr!" and instead he makes you walk the plank and swim away from the ship Die Hard style as he blows it up.
Another plot hole explodes onto your face since you really didn't make it far away from the island when all of this transpires and you swim back in the direction of the tutorial Island. Nevertheless I arrived on a much bigger, newer island by swimming alone. If I could just swim to the other god damn Island why did I bother take a boat in the opposite direction? I can suspend only so much disbelief before running around with a cartoon pirate starts to become a tad bit unrealistic.
Mass Effect: Andromeda turns its nose up at the original trilogy's rigid morality. It boasts a more nuanced and intellectually compelling shades-of-grey approach in which a heart icon pops up when it's time to tell an alien to take their clothes off.
Please consider updating your plan to include Trickle Down Antibiotics, the Millennial Meltdown, and other new options.
I mean, they're not that bad. "Substandard" vending machines.

In fact, Massa and his mates cruised to a deserved and easy victory from lights to flag. Polesitter Bruno Junqueira lost some time in the Le Mans-style start and was passed by Massa before the first turn. Massa dropped to third in the early stages, but soon was able to regain the first position. Until the end of the race, with the equipment showing no signs at all of problems, the winners only conceded his place during the mandatory 15-minute pit stop.
"I think we got what we deserved, as we took the lead right from the start. We could manage to set up a strong team, which pace all over the race was quite similar. I have to thank our team manager Renato Marlia, who gave us a perfect kart, and my mates Di Grassi and Campos. They did very well, saving the equipment and not putting a wheel wrong during the entire race", commented Massa.
The 2008 Formula 1 runner up offered the victory to Felipinho. "I did not plan to do anything for him with much advance, because these things usually don't work as you imagine. Towards the end of the race, however, I started thinking on how to show my love for him. This victory is totally dedicated to my little son", explained.
Massa has been experiencing a personal fantastic end of the season, after the serious injuries suffered during the Hungarian GP qualifying on July. "I spent a huge amount of time in front of my TV set, just watching Formula 1 and dreaming about the moment to comeback. This has been a nice recovery, with my victory in the second heat of the International Challenge of Go-Kart Champions last week in Florianopolis and now with this result at Granja Viana, an ever-challenging long and tough competition."

Titan's clouds move slower than expected
U.S. space agency scientists have discovered cloud formations on Saturn's moon Titan move much like those on Earth, but in a much slower fashion.
Scientists with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Cassini mission monitored Titan's atmosphere between July 2004 and December 2007, observing more than 200 clouds. They said they discovered cloud distributions around Titan match global circulation models except for timing -- clouds were still noticeable in the southern hemisphere while fall approached.
Titan's clouds don't move with the seasons exactly as we expected,said Sebastien Rodriguez of the University of Paris.
We see lots of clouds during the summer in the southern hemisphere, and this summer weather seems to last into the early fall. It looks like Indian summer on Earth, even if the mechanisms are radically different on Titan from those on Earth.
Researchers said it's possible the sluggishness of temperature changes at the surface and low atmosphere on Titan might be responsible for its unexpected warm and wet, and therefore cloudy, late summer.
More information and infrared images showing Titan's global cloud pattern are available at http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/photos/imagedetails/index.cfm?imageId=3532.

"How those quarterbacks play will go a long way toward determining how the league goes."
Frank Beamer
"Last year, we just had a group of players who came together and played as a team. Hopefully, this year's team can do the same thing."
"They got us field position and then the offense stuck it in. It's still a team game. I still believe our offense is going to get more consistency as we go along."
"I think that's what changed this game around. Instead of them being 7-3, it's 14-0. It's momentum. It's points. It's everything. There's just no bigger play in football than when you block a kick, particularly a field goal."
"This is the best group of kickers that we've ever had. It's our kickoff guys, (Jared) Develli and (Jud) Dunlevy, they're kicking it in the end zone. Brandon Pace has been solid as a rock, and Nic Schmitt is booming them."
"I've said it before, that this is the best group of kickers that we've ever had."
"I remember Lee Corso's car didn't get out of the parking lot."
"It's loud. We've got a vertical stadium. I think it's as loud as any of them."

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
All in the game in the name of archaeology[TamilNet, Tuesday, 27 April 2010, 03:19 GMT]The Sinhala academics cannot compare their plight of opposing totalitarian social fascist system of governance with that of the Tamils who bear the entire brunt of fascism amounting to genocide set against them by an ethnic-powered state mechanism, says a Tamil academic in Jaffna responding to professor Sudharshan Seneviratne defending the archaeology agenda of Colombo. Genuine dialogue on culture, co-existence etc and partnership in opposing fascism come only when sovereignty snatched away from Tamils is restored as a priority and when there is parity. However patronising in overtures, individuals and organisations serving Colombo cannot escape from being ultimately colonial. Academics who are always on the side of enjoying the comforts of state power in the island are yet to explore ways of contributing to their ideals better by coming out of the system they identify as oppressive. In response to a feature on archaeology in Sri Lanka by Jeremy Page in The Times and to a feature on the same subject appeared in TamilNet, Sudharshan Seneviratne, Professor of Archaeology of the University of Peradeniya and Director-General of the Central Cultural Fund (CCF) of Sri Lanka, came out with a response Educating Jeremy Page in The Island last week. Sudharshan Senevitratne, responding to comments appeared in TamilNet that he is now put to implement Colombos agenda in subtle ways through archaeology, wrote: A section of the diaspora and its media, who enjoy the comforts of the First World must come to terms with the fact that there are individuals and organizations in the North and South of Sri Lanka who oppose a totalitarian social fascist system of governance and genuinely believe in inclusiveness, shared culture and co existence. Diaspora and its media are the only outlets for the Eezham Tamils to freely come out with their perceptions. Hence diaspora-bashing has become the fashion for those who dont find the free Tamil voice fitting into their agenda, commented diaspora circles. One has to be a member of this diaspora to understand what comforts it could have with continued trauma and sleepless nights it experiences over the genocide and rape of its land, languish over its helplessness and simmering anger over the international deceit, diaspora circles further said. In his response Prof. Seneviratne had nothing to say on the core issue raised by Page and TamilNet, i.e., Colombo building Buddhist complexes in the North and East to effect Sinhala colonisation and to deny Tamils their homeland. Instead, he came out with a long list of what the CCF did for multiculturalism in the island into past two years with the knowledge and directives of the President Mahinda Rajapaksa. Commenting, diaspora circles observed: It may be true that there are innovations by Sudharshan in the CCF, but in the argument behind citing them he sounds very much like the same British colonialism he criticizes. The compassionate British were boasting of their achievements such as roads, railways, telegraph lines etc in a similar way to detract the independence of Indian people. While homeland is a colonial historiographic baggage to Sudharshan, he conveniently forgets that his country Sri Lanka itself is a colonial baggage. Even after six decades of the so-called independence if the social engineering envisaged by Sudharshan is going to be a slow process, only for the posterity to appreciate the wonderful diversity and plurality, then what is wrong in Tamils thinking of undoing this wonder that is Sri Lanka before they become museum fossils for the posterity of archaeologists. Why not the academics boldly come out with the alternative separation for better and quicker reconciliation. When there is no preparedness to share land, sovereignty and political power that are the pressing current needs for real reconciliation of nations in the island, talk of multiculturalism and inclusion devoid of power has the potential of being misused to serve the smokescreen for demographic cum cultural genocide, especially when there is inequality in the nations, diaspora circles pointed out. Equating parochialism of both sides may sound being above parochialism. But isnt it a subtle parochial way of favouring the dominant by detracting the mobilisation of the oppressed. To what extent subconsciously upholding one-state formula that failed since its inception in the island is non-parochial? As cultural advisor to two consecutive regimes and as the chief of CCF, to what extent Sudharshan can disown responsibility for the genocidal culture of the state, especially in the last two years, is a question asked in the diaspora circles. If Sudharshan enjoyed the emotional experience of warm reception accorded to him by the teaching staff and students of the University of Jaffna recently, that was because of the hard-earned credibility of him in the last more than quarter a century by his objective writing of history, said a member of the university community in Jaffna. In fact it is this credibility Mahinda Rajapaksa wants to exploit. Sudharshan admired Mahinda Rajapaksa a smart politician. The credibility will be at stake if the warm reception accorded to the academic stand of Sudharshan is misinterpreted as acceptance of him as cultural official of the Rajapaksa regime or of the Sri Lankan state, the university academic further said. Dushy Ranetunge in London finds a problem of perception in Sudharshans responses: The Sinhalese team of Sudharshan Seneviratne would have perceived the meeting as described by him. But, I would suggest that the Tamils would have perceived it as a power relationship, and the emotions and views expressed by the Tamils to the Sinhalese would be in line with that perception, he wrote in Sunday Island. Dushy Ranetunge cites his own earlier experience at the Jaffna University during the height of the war: After the Sinhalese officials left the conference hall he heard the academic community saying that they were happier in the LTTE administered Jaffna. Because the victory is unfair, and because of the incapacity in conceiving satisfactory solutions, instead of relief there is only paranoia in several circles of Sri Lankan nationalists, commented a social psychologist in Colombo. In their paranoia they are frantic in exploring all possible ways, crude as well as sophisticated, to see that the Eezham Tamil national question is stamped out. But the obvious solution of recognizing the Tamil nation for peaceful reconciliation is not in their dictionary. Just like twisting the paradigm of war on terror to their favour, there is a potential danger of twisting the corporate-favoured paradigm multiculturalism to the sophisticated denial of the national cause of Eezham Tamils, the social psychologist said. Multiculturalism as practiced traditionally in South Asia is of a different genre. It is different in the liberal democracies of the West- differing in needs and shades even between the New World in North America and the Old World in Europe. Exported multiculturalism finds another meaning in the dictionary of corporate colonialism. It will mean yet another to Mahinda Rajapaksa and Sinhala nationalists if at all they accept it. One need not doubt the genuineness of Sudharshan in speaking multiculturalism. But from which camp he says it matters a lot. Attack on classical colonialism for its manifestations in the island is fine. But the platform cannot be contemporary colonialism that denies nation to a people when they need it the most, but bents on creating a corporate class, ruling class / family and a multicultural working class. Development de-linking political power from people is the unsaid paradigm of corporate colonialism today. A dangerous precedent will be set if intellectuals in the island are carried away by concepts of culture and development as alternatives to conceding long overdue demands of a people for political power. Whoever refuses nation and political power to Tamils refuses them to the Sinhalese as well, were the observations of the social psychologist. In fact Sudharshan is a wrong target for any attack. No one can belittle his personal and institutional efforts to bring in objective historical understanding between the nations in the island. Weakening him will only benefit the hawks among the chauvinists. But it is not Jeremy Page who actually put him into trouble. It was Mahinda Rajapaksa, said the diaspora circles. Meanwhile the Big Brother in the neighbourhood is not lagging behind in the race for archaeology in the island. Organized by Professor Vasant Shinde of Deccan College, Poona, and Professor Anura Manatunga of Kelaniya University, the Society of South Asian Archaeology is convening an International Conference of South Asian Archaeology in Colombo in August. The theme is The Island and the Mainland. Eezham Tamil academics can neither voice freely in the island nor travel freely to India for their voice to be heard on South Asian matters. In recent times, on a number of instances, the Eezham Tamil academics were either denied of visa or refused landing in India.

Different behavior when parsing $0 on Solaris and Win32by dirac (Beadle) |
on Sep 28, 2011 at 12:37 UTC ( #928286=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
dirac has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi monks! I have tried to extract the name of the running script without his extension, to create a new file with same name but with ".log" at end. On win32 it works fine, but on Solaris I get only ".log". This is the code: On Win32 the output is: On Solaris with perl, v5.8.8 built for sun4-solaris Any suggestions? Thanks

Thanks so much for the heads-up
on all these amazing deals! Now, in return, I've got a tip on how to lower your
entertainment budget. About four months ago I heard about this thing called Blockbuster@Home
through my job at DISH. I signed up right away and now I get twenty movie
channels, streaming, plus movies AND games delivered to my house. The real
savings came into play when I was canceled Gamefly and Netflix, which had been costing
about thirty bucks a month. Blockbuster@Home is only ten, so I save over twenty
bucks every month right there! Hope some of your readers are able to take
advantage of this, and thanks again for the deals.

Academies receive the same funding as maintained schools for every pupil on their register. They also get extra funding to cover the cost of services that used to be provided by the local authority.
Academies are funded from September to August in line with the academic year, unlike maintained schools, which are funded from April to March in line with the financial year.
Most funding for the running of academies comes from the general amount grant (GAG). This is paid to academies by the Education Funding Agency (EFA). based on a formula provided by your local authority. The EFA will tell you how much GAG funding you will get and how the grant has been calculated.
The general amount grant is made up of:
The school budget share is protected by a minimum funding guarantee, so that the funding for each pupil will not fall by more than 1.5% per year.
Funding allocations for sixth forms and places in special units are not included in the calculation.

Taipei's dogs are living it up at hotels, complete with VIP suites and pools, that aim to ease the problem of strays that has plagued the city for decades.
Hoping to discourage people from dumping unwanted pets on the streets, two proprietors have opened giant hotels dedicated to dogs, with pools, salons, classes and playrooms.
The hotels offer an alternative to pet owners who lack the time or space to look after dogs and who can pay the room rate of $14 (£8.50) a day plus food, which is more expensive than home care but affordable to the average Taipei family.
"It's just like day care for children," said Kevin Lin, a former Wall Street employee who now owns the luxury Pet's Dream Park hotel. "A major reason I opened this business is to ease the stray dog problem."
Stray dogs may be a common sight in poor, less-developed countries, but more affluent Taiwan's cities also teem with them, with official figures showing there are about 180,000 living on the island of 23 million people.
In the 1980s, when Taiwan experienced an economic boom, people bought puppies then abandoned the adult animals.
Rescue shelters in Taipei also offer basic pet boarding services, but Pet's Dream Park and its suburban competitor, Little Treasure Pet Lodging and Comfort School, offer a deluxe alternative.
"I've seen small dogs kept in cages and wondered why if people can live in such nice surroundings dogs can't also," said Yao Pen-thun, owner of the Little Treasure hotel.
At Pet's Dream Park, dogs spend hours paddling in an indoor pool or getting groomed at a beauty parlour. Nervous pets get their own VIP rooms at no extra charge. Little Treasure takes its dogs for nature walks, and makes them listen to stories to help their mood, its website says.
"My dog is used to it here. Accommodations are OK, not like a cage," said Tsai Shu-ling, 40, who drops her dog off at Pet's Dream Park each day.

The multi-talented Jason Jordan Segel is an actor, screenwriter, musician and Judd Apatow protégé. He first caught the eye of the public when he appeared in the cult favorite "Freaks and Geeks", which was produced by Judd. The show was short-lived but gave Jason the exposure to land recurring roles on "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and "Undeclared".
These days, Jason is a leading man, featured in movies including Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I Love You, Man. He also plays Marshall Eriksen on the hit CBS show "How I Met Your Mother".
Not only is he a great actor, but Jason also is a writer; he created the screenplay for Forgetting Sarah Marshall. More recently, he was enlisted to write the newest Muppet movie. Jason also co-wrote most of the music on the Get Him to the Greek soundtrack, starring pal Jonah Hill. We can't wait to see what Jason does next!
In Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Jason's character gets dumped while he's naked. This actually happened to him in real life.
He performed "Dracula's Lament" from Forgetting Sarah Marshall on the 1000th episode of "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson".

Played by Jon Sivewright
Tony has an good relationship with his two sons Jack and Lucas; the three are more like best mates than father and sons. Since the death of his wife Kate, over 14 years ago, Tony has done his best to create a strong and secure family environment for his sons, who are everything to him. Lucas now lives overseas.
Because of the great loss he's been through, losing his soul-mate Kate at the hands of a drive-by mugger, Tony has great compassion and empathy for others, yet always looks at the big picture with a positive perspective on things.
Tony and his next-door neighbour, Beth, became friends straight away. Their romance grew and Tony proposed marriage to Beth. Tragically she was killed in an horrific car accident on her return from Europe, so she never got the chance to marry Tony and she never saw her new grandchild Archie, the son of Kit and Kim.
Kit and Matilda made a decision to buy the gym for Tony with some of the money they inherited from Beth's estate. He has struggled with the loss of 'the love of his life' and went through a time of dating lots of women and drinking too much, but now he's getting back on track.
He's currently engaged to Dr. Rachel Armstrong and they are expecting a baby.
Relationship status: Engaged to Rachel Armstrong.
Past relationships: Was married to Kate, the mother of his children, wanted to marry Beth, before she was tragically killed. Had a fling with Naomi Preston and Jazz Curtis.
Family: He has his two sons, Jack and Lucas, and was like a father to Matilda.
Friends: Tony gets on well with everyone including Miles, Roman and Alf.
Living arrangements: Tony lives with Rachel.

The effects suck but this almost to be expected. All in all, this is a great machine and if you need a sample playback in addition to some synth tweaks, that's the ticket. Hook it up to an editor like Wavelab via SCSI, and you'll be loading WAV files in no time. Just don't forget to change the SCSI host ID on the Kurz, it might clash with other gear and your PC.
One of the best 10 synths ever, period.
my display is a bit dark but the lcd on the k2000 was always dim , hence switching the new k25/26 design displays thats the only thing even remotely wrong with it .
a true classic . we will be emulating this in software for years to come when all the hardware units have finally died
Analogy: This thing is like a scientific calculator where all other synths are those dumb free things you get at the bank. It even kinda looks like a scientific calculator.
Sweetwater Sound gets high grades for taking care of the situation where my K2000 needed work after they had it the first time and it still wasn't right. They paid for all shipping for the unit to be returned to them and my sales rep., Paul Rowan, actually took the unit home to test it and found an additional problem that none of us even knew existed. They had told me to give them a chance to make the keyboard perfect and it appears that they did just that.
Now that it's back in my studio, I can honestly say that this is the primary keyboard out of the bunch (which includes an Alesis QS6.1, Roland XP-30, and an E-mu PK-6). The sound quality of this 1994 unit is magnificent and the amount of features it has will keep me busy for quite some time.
For my money, the guitars are really outstanding, and while I prefer the Alesis piano sample over this particular Kurzweil's, it's still pretty good.
So good, in fact, that I've decided to add a Kurzweil KME-61 to my setup in addition to this unit.
If you can find a K2000 and you're willing to have the Sweetwater people go through it, then it's worth the investment. It's a lot of keyboard for the money.
This 1994 unit sounds fantastic --- most notably the guitar sounds are amazing. The piano is horrible, but in general, the other sounds make up for it.
Unfortunately, the unit had problems within a week of it being here, which turns out to be common with K2000's --- the Mix output tends to die on 1 channel and even after the unit went back to Sweetwater for repair, the problem repeated itself once it came back, and had to be sent out again where it is as of this writing.
I've since talked with several other people who tell me that their K2000's also had similiar problems and that getting the units repaired became an exercise in patience.
As for me, I'm trying to trade it in on a Kurzweil KME61 --- the sound quality of these Kurzweil units has sold me. In the case of the K2000VPB, it just might be that the unit is old enough so that it can't be properly repaired.

Where is the strongest competition for the cell phone leadership in Brazil?
Vivo is the leader operator in cell phone share market in Brazil (30.1%) with 5 percentage points of advantage in comparison with the second in the ranking, Claro.
This picture doesn't happen, however, in all the Brazilian States and Local Areas.
The following table presents the quantity of Federation Units (UF) and Local Areas (DDD - Area Codes) with its the leader operator.
Leader in: (Aug/08) |
Vivo |
Claro |
Oi |
Federation Units (UF) | 12 |
3 |
4 |
8 |
Local Area (Area Code) |
31 |
9 |
16 |
11 |
Claro is the leader in lesser Federation Units (3) and local areas (9) than Tim and Oi, despite being the second in market share and having surpassed Tim in Aug/08 (more details).
In Aug/08, Vivo lost the leadership in Minas Gerais to Oi and in the Local Area 62 (Goiânia) to Claro. In this month, the competition for the leadership in market share was stronger in 4 Federation Units (MG, GO, RN and PI) and 2 Local Areas (Area Codes 62 and 73).
In the following, there's presentation of a brief commentary about the competition in each one of this areas.
Minas Gerais: Oi x Vivo (Telemig)
The competition for the leadership in Minas Gerais is one of the toughest. Telemig (Vivo) had lost this leadership to Tim in Sept/07 and regained it in May/08 after being incorporated by Vivo. The company was, however, small in comparison to Vivo (29.13%) and a reverse can't be dismissed for the next months.
Goiás: Vivo x Claro
Vivo's historic leadership (Band A - first operator to get into the market) in Goiás is been finally threatened by Claro (Band B - second operator to get into the market). Vivo finished Aug/08 holding a market share of 32,60% against 32.19% of Claro.
In Aug/08, Claro overcame Vivo in Goiânia Local Area (62).
Rio Grande do Norte: Oi x Tim
In Rio Grande do Norte, Oi took the leadership from Tim (Band A) in Mar/08 and is consolidating itself in the first position.
Vivo is out of this competition because it doesn't operate in some of the Northeastern States as Rio Grande do Norte and Piauí.
Piauí: Tim x Claro X Oi
In Piauí, the competition is balanced between Tim (33.56%), Claro (33.28%) and Oi (33.17). So, it's a difficult market for Vivo's entrance and get significative market share.
South of Bahia (Area Code 73) Vivo x Oi
Among all Local Areas (same Area Code), the strongest competition in Aug/08 was taking place in the South of Bahia with Vivo (30.35%) and Oi (30.01%). Note that Tim (Band B) is out of this competition, holding 15.1%, while Claro has 24.5%.
You could ask:
- Why are there so many regional differences?
- Why is the competition strong in these States?
- How will be the competition in the State of São Paulo after the entrances of "aeiou" and Oi, where Vivo holds 39.8%, Claro 34.3% and Tim 25.8%?
- What about Area Code 11 (São Paulo Metropolitan area), where Vivo holds 40%, Claro 30.3% and Tim 29.8%?

Each spring, the Center for Applied Learning in Seattle Pacific University's School of Business, Government, and Economics sponsors the Social Venture Plan Competition — a unique event designed to encourage SPU students from all majors to develop entrepreneurial projects that can make a difference in the world.
The Social Venture Plan Competition (SVPC) encourages teams of students from diverse disciplines to develop an entrepreneurial project that addresses dual bottom lines: social and financial. Participants tackle a felt social need while proposing a way to provide sustainable funding through a business activity.
Business people, entrepreneurs, and other community partners evaluate and score the plans, after which competitors present their projects to faculty, staff, students, and judges at a live trade-show display event on the SPU campus. The teams with the highest cumulative scores from the two phases of the competition win cash prizes.
Would you like support from graphic design, illustration and other art students in developing a visual brand identity for your social venture project? Apply for Branded, a 12-hour day of intense interaction during which young designers, illustrators and other artists pair up with aspiring social entrepreneurs to create logos, web templates, venture names and other design elements for social venture plans.
Here is the 2017 schedule. Dates may be subject to change.
Through a partnership with Urban Impact, the SVPC will once again be offering a special $500 prize for the plan that best accomplishes economic development in the Rainier Valley neighborhood of Seattle. Teams interested in this option may have the chance to be paired with an entrepreneur from the Rainier Valley as a partner and advisor. Teams on the Rainier Valley track in the SVPC will also be eligible to compete in Sharks at the Beach, a Shark Tank-style follow-up event. More information will be posted as we have it. For questions, contact the Center for Applied Learning (firstname.lastname@example.com).
See the competition's FAQs, official rules, 2017 workshop schedule, or the 2017 competition specifics. You can also contact the Center for Applied Learning at email@example.com.
2016 SVPC recap, 2015 SVPC recap, 2014 SVPC recap
"We had extraordinary access to both business and academic experts. They helped guide us in the mechanics of starting a business — researching our market, creating a business plan, sharpening our purpose and definition, and engaging both the public and potential investors."
BUS 3682 is a nontechnical, workshop-style course designed to help you develop an outstanding social venture plan and compete in the SVPC. Each session concentrates on a specific element of the SVPC planning template.

Genre: R&B
Jagged Edge is an American R&B group that were originally signed through Jermaine Dupri's So So Def Records to Columbia Records. The group is made up of twin lead singers Brian and Brandon Casey (both born October 13, 1975), Kyle Norman, and Richard Wingo. Wingo was a late addition to the group, added after Kandi Burruss of Xscape recommended he be added. Kandi was also the one who brought the group to the attention of Dupri. The group has had a number of hit singles, many of which are produced by Dupri.
Jagged Edge began their mainstream recording career with the single "The Way That You Talk" in 1997. They followed this in 1998 with the album, A Jagged Era which managed to go gold featuring the singles "I Gotta Be" and "The Way That You Talk". "I Gotta Be" reached #11 on the R&B charts and #23 on the Hot 100.

Prison HIV Rate "Soars"May 16, 2001 In Namibia, the number of prison inmates infected with HIV soared from 80 in 1997 to 383 at the end of last year, said Prisons and Correctional Services Permanent-Secretary Mbeuta Ua- Ndjarakana. This figure means that almost 10 percent of the country's prison population of 4,000 are infected. Ua-Ndjarakana said that his ministry did not believe the provision of condoms to prisoners would be a way of curtailing the transmission of HIV. Providing condoms would not only legitimize sodomy but would also encourage homosexual activities in prisons, he said.
